Good morning. Good evening. Good night
What's going on? We're still working on that intro none. No cool music
Like gift out here. Nice to see everybody. This is say what in the morning we're covering
11 a.m. Eastern every day. Sorry. I'm messing with two phones. I'm trying to min at the same time
Excited to be sitting here with you. We're officially older than one week
The honeymoon periods over we're gonna have to work on our quality here
But excited to be sitting here with you. I'm sitting also with some friendly faces. I got Biggie Poppins gift dead
We're gonna have ourselves a fantastic episode. There's some giveaways
Going on that I'll tell you about here in just a moment. Also, we're getting some notoriety
We're seven or eight days in we're getting some some nice posts made about us here within the say network. I'll get that
While I do that, let me bring in my co-host gift. Ed. Are you?
Count gift ed or you just regular gift ed today
How is that for me hello count gift ed, what's up, man? Oh
I'm gonna miss something right now, but we're getting this show started and in a great fashion. How are you doing, sir?
You don't have to come up here if you're not ready
I don't want to force you if you feel like you're you're not ready to un-mic, you know, but Biggie Poppins
Weird. I'm trying to have a good start to the show and my man's is rolling out of bed here
But anyways, Biggie Poppins nice first of all nice to have you gifted. I I did not claim any of this Jeep airdrop
I don't know if you got a juke allocation, but we'll I guess talk about that. I got a tiny bit. Oh, I got
200 juke, so I don't know if that's worth yet because I haven't claimed it or looked at the charts
So 200 juke, what's that like 50 bucks? It might be a hundred who knows it's almost life-changing
Hey, don't fade free money, sir. Biggie Poppins. I don't know if you claim the juke airdrop
But you also look fine today, sir. Nice to have you in your hair. That's constantly on fire
I don't know how you complain or don't complain more about that, but nice to have you. I
Am accustomed to these things
That's life in web 3 I suppose but I happen to think it looks pretty fire
But no, I I've not claimed my juke drop yet
I'm letting you know the euphoria of claiming and dumping proceed without me
I will be looking into claiming it after I'm done with my mandate show later today and then
No, man, I think I'm gonna sit on at least a portion of it for some time. I think you could perform well
But yeah, I will be some profits and guess what I'm gonna do with
I'm hearing the stage. I'm hearing the bridge opening right now. The bridge is being lowered for Biggie Poppins
Exactly sir, and I've conversed with other fellows saying that are postulating the same
The same path as myself, so I'm looking forward to it
Awesome to hear good to have y'all up on stage here newcomer to say what in the morning
The queen of the castle Jessica Etrowski Jess. Have you bridged any to say yet? The water is warm
I don't know if that is I'm actually a very successful male
You can't you can't trust that voice at all. It's far too high the octaves
There's no yeah, there's no testicular fortitude coming from
Cologne you cologne drop as well
Would like to learn more about this and how I can share it with my audience and get them all rubbed as well
No, I'm feeling yeah, I'm feeling very uncomfortable about this conversation now
also, the reason Biggie Poppins can
Have his hair on fire and not be bothered is clearly because he has a titanium scalp cue. I mean, it's pretty obvious. That's true
I'm gonna need to talk to a doctor. I might need that here
Relatively shortly. All right, I'm being trolled up here, but I love my clothes speaking of speaking of doctors
Somebody go check in on what's going on with Jess cuz yeah, we it's just low T
Yeah, very low T. It's the lowest T. I've ever heard
All right. We're gonna get started here on say what so a special episode today. We have a simply hopping by to talk about a live
1111 we do have a whitelist giveaway happening. I'll pin that up to the top. So I've got five
Whitelist allocations for this free mint. So if you get the whitelist you can mint for free
It's not like you got to pay for say or pay with say or anything like that
So he's doing a lot of cool things with the NYC Dow over there within the Dob discord and Dob community
So excited to have him. I see him joining the audience here. I got two things pinned up top though
So I mentioned at the beginning as simply hops up on stage. I mentioned at the beginning of the show that we're
Bigger like longer than a week old now. So we've been going for seven official days
So we're into our eighth episode here and just excited to be having or I guess seventh episode
We're not really going on the weekends
But we're getting some recognition
so if you look at those posts recently rugged with his sense sense a Joe over there with his monthly recaps and
Community member it looks like who's been a friend of our community for a long time. Actually. He's been on the web three shows
NFT live but both individuals here giving a shout out to say what in the morning
So I wanted to give them a big high five a big virtual hug for for doing that man
I appreciate you guys showing up and showing out
We do have those giveaway details and then upcoming shows that we have this week
So we have the the formerly known as Sega team is coming on
So they they rebranded to whales and so they have been launching their whale token
You've heard crypto frog come in here a couple times and talk about that, but we want to do an official
Piece with them and then grapes is coming in at the end of the week
So that's a pretty hyped up drop that I believe is is date TBD
I don't think their mint date is live, but grapes are gonna come in and have ourselves
You know a nice little guest there. So that's what's happening across the network here again
Big shout out to sense a Joe and Eric for doing that. That's pretty fucking badass
Before I get started Biggie Poppins gift at Jess any say
More stuff that you want to talk about you want to say anything before we get started. I
Definitely like to say something and I'd like to shout out somebody in the audience
But say longs are here. I see say long down in the audience shout out to them
Go to that page and follow it
Something interesting protein. I believe and
They quote attention to it
Friday, I believe but uh, just a quick thing quick little alpha
Alright, so I'm glad you brought this up because I thought we were slow playing this a little bit
But we're Friday release. We can't slow played it at all. That's literally happening in the next 72 hours 48 hour time frame
So yeah, say long I've already followed them
Definitely turn on notifications for that. Is it discord open or anything like that?
No discord so far that I'm aware of
Yeah, but I mean Friday. It's an eternity from now
That's fair. I'll give you that
Alright last thing we want to get to before we get started is going to be this giveaway
So simply just hopped up on stage. We're gonna talk about his upcoming
Free mint that is associated pretty heavily with the doves
But also obviously it's his his collection and and his pieces
So we're gonna dive deep with him in the middle of this episode, but that
Whiteless giveaway I just pinned up so you can see join the alive
1111 free mint like and repost tag one friend. We're gonna choose five winners
I don't know if I could pull that off wildlife
So I'm already having a tough does any is any of this is any of this going to public?
So how the allocations were set up basically it's not really a large collection
I guess so from the start we had all of our allocations sort of set up
you know a lot of it going to like the say OGs and half of it going to dog which is like 5 5 5 and
Then every naked gets a two free mint and so because it was kind of set up that way from the start
Expect like there to be maybe a few in public if we're lucky
Also, like I guarantee you I'm not gonna over allocate anything like and you guys get 24 hours to mint
It's gonna be stress-free, you know, we know you got lives, you know, there's dads
There's parents in here people have jobs, you know, you got 24 hours to mint
It's gonna be stress-free pick any time of the day to mint and it won't be over allocated your spot is your spot
Man of the people simply we'll get to the collection here around
1130 so in about 20 minutes time happy to have you dude as
Far as the rest of the network and I know you've been focused on getting this project off the ground and all that stuff
But as far as across the rest of the network, are you seeing anything or anything you want to talk about over the last?
You know week or even day that you're seeing with say I
Think we're getting a ton of traction from other chains
Like even in my alive 11 11 posts like even today trips was telling me how cyber conks reached out for a collab and I
Haven't heard about this guys in years
First time I got to the NFT space. Yeah, it was even I remember them sitting at like
67 eat something like that bananas were like a hundred and seventeen bucks. It was some crazy times and
Them asking for collab like we have had okay bears asked for collab
We had to say no because we just don't have much like we have
We don't have much allocations left at all and I and I gave my word, you know, no over allocations and
that also goes along with the line of what I'm starting to see in say space is
I'm seeing the same type of cash-grabby stuff that we've been seeing an ETH all those
Bad habits bad actors and they kind of set up everything to kind of drive this FOMO
Right, which I understand because everyone's here to make money. I get that. It's just I think
Us naked's NYC and me especially I think
Do everything the right way at the same time, you know
And so in that regard we kind of did want to make a sort of a statement to the entire space as you know
We are coming out with like the first
And also specifically kind of tied to the blockchain hashes of say from 1 to 11 11
We want to make a statement and we want to set a standard, you know
We don't want over allocations that everybody does, you know, it's just to drive some hype and FOMO. We don't want to cram
Everyone's whiteless and og mints into 30 minutes or an hour
Right because there's people like in this space from all over the world like all over the world and
Everybody works in different timelines and stuff like that
I think it's fair to give everyone a 24 hour so that they can find a time of day
So they don't have to skip work
Like they can still spend time with their family and still find a time of day to meant something nice and
Also, it's free and that's another statement. I
Think that a lot of projects
Try to drive FOMO and also I've seen so many projects like they say they're free and
Then like a week or two in when they get like 10k followers or something
They raise the mint price and I also don't like that neither
Not like really calling out anybody
It's just what I see in general and I just don't like that practice and I think as NYC labs we want to
Tell people I think this is a better way and we don't have to like
Do all these crap cash-grabby habits from Ethan's soul to get some traction
If your product is good and you're confident in your product the product will sell itself
You know, you don't have to do all those things and that's just our ethos
And and I think we're going to continue in that direction
Well, I appreciate the sentiment and the fact that you're inputting that and embedding that in this collection
And you know, we were having this combo on NFT live and GM web 3 yesterday
royalties, right and the fact that on the eth we
Had this, you know time frame where we did have royalties and that was a part of the ecosystem and it really
Feature and then it went away and we're seeing that sped up timeline not saying it's going to happen on say
But does it happen on say is it was the question as we continue to build out infra and as new competitors arise?
Will we you know have the situation where no royalties will will be the norm?
And we actually have an outsized influence right in this new ecosystem and that's that's been
Something where we could kind of put up at least our hands early and maybe
Say hey look pallet. This is not what we need to be doing. We already saw what happened within the ethereum ecosystem
Maybe we can do it do this a different way. So I appreciate that sentiment. Yeah, I totally agree with that too. And
Yeah for anyone who doesn't know we're going with 5%
And what's all gonna be always gonna be 5% whatever we come out with in the future just sticking it with to the job
royalties, but I do think like I kind of understand why ETH went that direction at one point and
It's just because you know, if you add all these gas fees
Plus royalties and plus all these cash-grabbing rugs
It's just a bad combo and a lot of people get ticked off
but say has some advantage in a sense that because the transaction fees are so low and
Yes, the fastest layer one network. I
Feel like there might be not as much pushback for royalties in my opinion
Cuz like imagine like I remember like I would mint out like mint
Free projects on ETH and if it doesn't go over 30 bucks for 50 bucks
like you can't even sell it because
When you're trying to sell something for five bucks, you actually end up with like negative 50
Plus the gas fees for minting and yada yada yada
but like and say you could mint for free sell it for five bucks get like 450 back, it's not bad and
People don't feel like they get so ripped off by world tees neither because you know
All right, we're gonna dive into that collection again
We do have a giveaway up there in the Xbox for y'all if you want to take part
We're gonna give away five white list for this Freeman and simply I appreciate that allocation
I know you only had a certain amount of supply and for you to kind of hook us up
With the the amount that you did it's it's it's pretty cool, man. So we love nifty, you know, oh, yeah
My man. All right, we're gonna kind of move on here with the episode
I I guess it kind of stays in-house here
Cryptoslam and and simply Huda there in the audience actually works with crypto slam
And it might be the reason why you got hit up by cyber cons as well
Cuz his brothers is one of the team members over there on cyber conks
But the post up here in in the top that I'm referencing is from crypto slam who continues
To up their coverage here talking about say NFTs. That's this huge
Multi-chain community there and then people that like to kind of look out across the space and for the longest time
Say would was doing volume and I say for the longest time, but you guys get what I'm talking about
They weren't covering it here over the last month as we started to see growth
And now it looks like in the past week week and a half. We've seen some posts from crypto slam
hopefully we get it on the website here and we stop having to see these posts where it's like at a
Photoshop say on top of aptos or mutable X or what have you I've seen those kind of floating around
So yeah, big shout out to Huda for making that happen. I know it's see you there behind the scenes
Another shout out and we do have past present and future mint
So I know biggie already dropped some some alfalfa here in the last like five minutes talking about say long there in the audience
Y'all should be paying attention to that wink wink. We are not financial advisors
But also huge shout out if you look at Eric F's post giving us some some flowers here
He's saying I just spent two days deep researching the say blockchain
I first heard about it from gifted at web 3 and that sparked my interest to look into it more
And he's got a whole thread there like this is great to see but look at biggie poppins in that post
Just housing that water. I mean that that's a full-on chug
Just on stream giving no fucks. So I would just wanted to give you a shout out there biggie
True live so I'm glad he didn't get one of those screenshots. All right, I'm gonna move us into
Past present future here with these mints. So how could we not talk about yaka finance yaka having their mint?
Yesterday did extremely well people got 10 X's out the gate. I think it rose to like fifteen hundred sixteen hundred
On the say side from a hundred and twenty say mint. So that's good for the ecosystem
I mean the fact that we can even put that out there to eat heads and in Solana heads that are maybe paying attention
To us a little bit more now because of that. It's they're sitting out at 1200 say right now
There was a interesting update here and biggie
I know you I don't think any three of us up here have yaka's
Simply, I don't know if you do Huda was able to mint one
This is an interesting roadmap update because what you see here is they're not going to actually have mainnet or any type of yaka
Public sale until q2 and I and that's there's two sides of this one
You have the hey, it actually takes time to make good products, right? Like you don't just get a product release every fucking week
I know SD gens love that and they just had this sale, but I
Feel like some people kind of questioning. Hey, like that's a long time like q2 could be end of q2
That that could potentially be like middle of summer that we get a sale
Probably no, you know you say that DJEN's like when you know
There's a lot of shipping going on and maybe there's some truth behind that to an extent
But they probably also actually understand that
Shipping product is really the last thing that any project wants to do
What you want to do is just keep the hype and speculation going as long as you possibly can and make absolutely
Ridiculous announcements and promises about future announcements that might come with some other thing that might be an announcement
Yeah, all you all you did is kind of save your competitors
If you're a hungry dev team out there, well now you know
All right, I just did a kind of stealth mint here with wee bums
I don't know if anybody in the audience is a bump holder, but there was there's been a wee bums situation here happening
So I'll get the present mints in just a second. But if you've been chillin that mint is live. It looks like it just
Sold out seven hundred and seventy seven. I don't know what that'll do
I don't even know if it'll it's from one of the Dobbs. So I'm assuming it's gonna be okay
I'm surprised I haven't seen more drains to be honest. We got a word of like the the flamingos
I don't think we ever even got confirmation that there was a drain
But yeah that wee bums piece was like within within the the wee bump ecosystem
I don't even think they have a Twitter. I don't know why that sounds like like the most obvious thing
No, I have no idea but you know, like if you look in general like like Dob general, I
Don't know what it is, but they have like this little competition going against wee bumps. So like calm
It's funny. It's just a job thing to do. I think it's hilarious. I literally minted a picture of an ass just now so
It's like a it's like a drawing of an
But yeah, I'm working on my say chicks derivatives a dicks so I'm surprised you haven't released the so excited
You've always been a real big fan of feet and pics and how those work together
Don't be saying that on public stages. Okay, so you so you're telling me you didn't mint
When it came out and talked about how you were going to have a whole nother a whole nother like profession
To be to be clear. I flipped feet and I made money flipping
Don't don't be don't be mad and jealous about my ability
He definitely has Irene though body part metas. I
Yeah, there's a possibility he holds Irene. All right, we're gonna move this forward and talk about some mints today
I generate like simply you were talking a little bit about like the state of what we're seeing on say we had some mints today
And yesterday that are kind of showing me that that one and I might be over
Maybe I'm overthinking this but it feels like the community is actually a little bit astute with some of these mints
And what I mean by that is most of these like midly hyped
Mints are just not doing well
Like you you think a lot of these degens would try to even for if it's like a five say or a free mint
You know kind of kind of mint out and have those be sold out and see what they can get
But what we're seeing is a lot of the not quality mints within the ecosystem right now are just not selling out
And so we saw that yesterday
Ship monks say Saints. These are some of the others that happened yesterday that just did not hit
I mean, they're sitting below one say usually that's kind of like the and you know, maybe they could figure it out down the line
We've seen some kind of come back from that
But yeah a couple others today as well Oni was a mint earlier this morning
Say no be people are saying watch out for and things like that. You're seeing not on discords and X
But these are just kind of mints that you're seeing across your timeline
doing well, so they're not just like completely a blue like
Not getting any marketing there. They're being talked about and then just not minting. I think I think the answer is pretty simple
I think first of all, we are very early and
A lot of the people who are early have already gone through a lot of experience from other chains
so I feel like a lot of people at the moment are
Kind of smart money a lot of them and I kind of think like they know what they're doing most people
You know as the space gets more saturated more money comes in I think even those mints would do well
But there's also like a different dynamic with like eth per se like eth like I remember I
Did this free mint from five wallets? I got like a hundred of them. It was like in that Azuki
Each one was like selling for like 200 to like thousand
I sold so many of them. It was such good money, but I feel like a lot of times and say
there's so much free ones in a certain sense and
A lot of these guys who are experienced
They just don't want to settle for you know selling a hundred NFTs for five bucks
so I feel like there's a lot of people just not even bothering and
It probably just comes with like experience
But I guess I think as the space gets more saturated. I think they're all gonna mint out anyways
I think it was just super early. That's really it
Why I I agree I was gonna say
Most like there's not just a bunch of whole like
Whole cloth newbies coming into the space like most of the people that are over on say early
Like you said are coming in from other chains
So we're we're just generally more experienced like again
there's not a bunch of new people entering the space so almost anybody who's hopping over to say and
Experimenting on you know all chains right now is coming from
Some other chain where they had a bunch of experiences, so I just love to see it
I love to see maturity and you know when when eth was like brand new and maybe even when Solana was brand new a little bit
you know people could get away with Fiverr art and like all kinds of like crap and
erroneous ridiculous promises
And yeah, I don't know it seems like maybe there's a little bit more aptitude and
sophistication and that's good man, I I I don't think we should be throwing money at a bunch of junk and
Supporting yeah, I totally agree and at the end of the day
It is the consumers that set the standard you know in what they want and what they buy
You know if we stop buying trash shit all the time
I'm sure people are gonna wise up and go okay guys like let's let's make something real
You know because we're not gonna sell anything at this point
So it's actually probably good for the space not gonna lie
The only thing that surprises me with this is that a lot of these are either free or you know five say basically
You know for they're like two dollars three dollars. I'm surprised that we're not seeing more interest
At some point it becomes like a
Like you're just kind of shotgunning that one of these is gonna turn from five say to an actual product even though it looks
Sometimes not good, you know, so yeah, that's that's fair if you don't want to have it in your wallet
totally, but if one of these mints out at a free mint and it becomes
something that even you know turns like, you know 50 say or a hundred say it feels like
That might be the reason to do it. I guess there's a whole I mean we're getting down a rabbit hole a little bit
So let me move us on really quick. So simply we're gonna talk about your collection coming up, which is actual quality
That's what we love to see in the ecosystem and you you managed
To kind of lay out some of the things here that that are making you, you know
Potentially listed again for free the way that you have it working with the Dow
I want to get into all of those things
But I do want to get to some of these questions as well as talk about the mints happening right now
So Kerry Ross is in the chat and again big shout out to y'all that actually comment there in that speech bubble on the bottom
Right if you guys give it some loves you can say anything you want no giveaways
At least on today's show that are related to it
But just hit it with the GM hit it with the say less hit it with the same or whatever you want to post over there
In the bottom, right we appreciate it. It gets as many folks in here
But Kerry's already commenting saying so what are the thoughts on the best wallet and marketplace platform on say today?
so we're gonna see a beta here from marketplace, which is the
Product here out of the Saiyans ecosystem. So Saiyans are one of the bigger NFT collections. They're producing
quickly if it feels like if they're moving already into beta a
Competitor to what the best marketplace is right now, which is palette. So pallets gonna
Let's call the market exchange market exchange
So market exchange is going to be that competitor that Saiyans is producing and that's gonna be pallets biggest competitor
So palette right now would be the answer there as well as I'm using compass
I know some people have kind of faded compass a little bit over my timeline, but compass has worked well for me
It's got a mobile and desktop feature. I haven't had any issues
You can stay you can do staking with you
Have you like minted on mobile?
No, the only reason I say that is because Mike Finch in our community has used on mobile apparently because he didn't even know
That there was a desktop client or an extension. So I know he was he's been able to mint the mobile
The mobile app is pretty good. I haven't
Successfully minted with it. Yeah, but the mobile app works great. All right
The other question I want to address here Florida Steelers fan who was a giveaway winner on one of our first episode
So big shout out to him. He has a say chick. Hopefully chillin in his wallet if you floored it
I mean, that's that's up to you. But what was Biggie Poppins just talking about? I missed the beginning
So he's talking about an upcoming meme coin that is set to launch
Say long also gave us a shout out here on X
So maybe we can hit on that after we touch on
The the collection here that simply has got coming out. So alright last things I want to get to
Say whales looks like it was a freemen
555 I did not get into that one. We'll see where it goes. It's a crapshoot
At this point Remo's world if you guys look up there in the Xbox, there's a there's a mint calendar by say digest
So say whales mentioned wee bums already mentioned. I have a picture of an ass in my wallet sitting
Right now. We'll see where that goes say avatars
Thank you. Thank you, sir. I say avatars is probably the most hyped of the day
OG is gonna have to pay 35 say
Which I mean depending on?
You know thoughts on the project. I mean five thousand five hundred fifty five is gonna be a ton
on the supply side right now what I'm seeing I
Haven't done enough DD on say avatars and then Remo's world is a freemen happening later
This afternoon the Eastern Standard. So that's kind of the mints. You're looking at again the meta. I feel like is finding
Probably like the super legit ones if you can find yourself on a white list for these freemen
I don't think it's a bad play as long as you're doing it from some type of
You know burner wallet or anything like that, but
Is it dude I keep seeing you ember. I don't know if it's embers ember you do a great job man of cover in the market
You actually had a great post that I was going to
Mention here that's talking about your
Favorite upcoming mints. I just shared it up top. That's gonna be yaka that just happened clearly kryptonite nomads saps
Say avatars and that's going to be just for this week. So yeah, those those are definitely hyped up mints here for this week
The the rest it's just a crapshoot right now
If you again, if you can find yourself on the mint, you know by all means but yeah
There's there's a search for quality and it's tough to separate the signal from the noise a little bit
Any comments there guys on like any any mints that are happening now or just kind of sold
That you want to talk about we'll get to the future mints here in just a second. I
Agree with what you're saying. I I'm I'm also getting like that vibe right of minting
There's so many projects launching left and right and I think
Many of the quality ones have already been minting not to say there's not gonna be any others like
Great takes also from your secretary there. So all right, we're gonna jump in
Simply we've got about 10 minutes 10 to 15 minutes to cover what you've got going on again folks. I'll repin the giveaway
We have five whitelists that we're going to pick post show
And you're going to get a white list for a free mint here. You got to follow the instructions, of course
You got to do a little bit of work here, but excited for this drop man
Simply you've been a great also friend of the in the ecosystem and I appreciate you hopping up here today
It started with the trips right here. Oh
I wasn't a naked then and I was just talking the trips because
He had a Bible verse in his bio and and I really liked that stuff
So I started talking to him and I was like, hey, I started making this stuff
You know on the blockchain are kind of thing and he loved it
And so he started talking to some people and tragic downer. He I guess he I don't think he likes Twitter
I never see him on but he just sent me a naked just like that
He's like we got to get this guy in here. We gotta start working on it. And that's
Literally how it all started and at the time naked floor was still around like I don't know
2600 it was it was a decent chunk and
That also kind of fueled my passion, right? I'm like, wow these guys are legit
they just you know, they want to cooperate if they want to work together like we want to have fun and
Essentially, they just took me in like family like right away and I'm just trying to return to favor at this point
To mention that we are all dobs, you know, and we are for dobs we support dobs
I would just say like people in NYC are a little bit more dedicated
You know a little bit have have more conviction maybe slightly more passionate
And there's so many people in here that know so many different things like we got like RPC guy
We've got shit coin guy. We got like everybody in here
Just talking alpha all day long to be honest is quite hard to keep track of
Which we actually even planning to set something up just cuz like it's so hard to keep track of like
how so much information is going through in my see and
How in the beginning it was kind of like a joke how all roads lead to daub
But now it's starting to become like a reality for us. It's kind of awesome
So about a live 11 11 project
There is some meaning behind 11 11. I don't know if you'll know it is the number of awakening and
Along with that. I wanted to make a statement, you know
Like we love say and we love say community and I feel so great here
You know met so many great people and it'd be a shame if we let all these bad actors from off-chain
Who eventually will show up because say is going to the roof man
Like say is awesome and especially when v2 and eat parallelization comes out a lot of these bad actors are gonna come out
and so in that sense it is up to us to set the standard and to make sure that we can protect our own community and
I think that is what NYC is all about. We want to incubate projects
Make it easier for artists, you know, and and this is another point like I'm not really an artist per se and I kind of
Feel really cringy sometimes calling myself an artist and I know there's like super good like talented artists out there
How a lot of the other side works like they you know, they're artists. They love art and they're kind of focused on that
They don't they don't know the website side. They don't know the contract side. They don't know the marketing side call lab all that stuff
It's just it's just a lot to handle and we are here to basically kind of pure procure these artists and help them get to
Where they want and I'm very excited for labs in that sense
I think we're gonna get a lot of great people in the future
Not sure what else to talk about is there any other questions
I know I've got some artists here up on stage and biggies a
Prolific I'll put it out there for you prolific art curator in my opinion, man. He's great with that stuff
He's awesome has a great eye for it. But yeah gift and biggie from the art side
In what simply is created here. I know you guys have seen some of the revealed pieces
So any thoughts or any questions for simply?
Here we can get to some of the details at the back half and also trips. Nice to see you, but biggie give how you doing?
All right, I'll go first no man I
Do that. I love everything simply said I agree with it a hundred percent
I don't know. I got pretty lucky to be able to join the
When I did now, we're lucky to have you know, man
Dude I appreciate it man. It is a very special place and I'm very enthused about what built in there behind the scenes, man
Getting to know simply, you know, he's passed what like two weeks
Talking on the daily, you know within the Dow
Could just tell you that he is somebody that's very passionate about what he does and he understands the space like very few other
Creatives do man and so I'm very excited because honestly looking at his art
I mean, I think it speaks for itself and I think he's only revealed a tip of the iceberg
you know what you've seen on social media is just
The alive 11-11 piece and just conversing with him and seeing the vision of what he has
You know to follow all of these things up. It's very inspiring
So man, it's an honor to be part of to be part of it man
And help obviously allocate these pieces to people that that are interested in actually
Supporting artists collecting and and watching the simple system thrive man. So yeah, I got nothing but gratitude man
I'm psyched for the future. I hope you guys are as well
Count gift you got anything for my man simply here or trips. I
Mean I I'm a believer that
one of the benefits of this whole movement and the technology in general is that it's
artists and collectors and new ways it opens up a lot of opportunities for people to
Discover art or participate and be artists themselves and create in a lot of new ways
So, you know, I think it's it's what you're doing is really smart man
And it's it is creative. It's a whole creative process. I think that the outputs look pretty good from what I've seen
So it doesn't seem like it's any sort of low quality
Products seems like you know for somebody who doesn't normally consider themselves an art
An artist that this is a pretty awesome way to you know, establish yourself that way or you know
We start start creating and launching projects man. So yeah, I think it's cool
And and obviously obviously like we resonate with the ethos of it also. Thank you. Thank you, man
and I know you don't have much time
I guess I could explain a little process of how it was made and why I chose this process is that
When I first got back into NFTs and looking into say I remember reading this article on my flipboard
You know like and it was saying how a Fidenza sells
$150,000 in this bull market, you know and they'll use to sell for like a hundred ETH and you see all like how everything
Just came crashing down and they're still holding like 70 floor. She's pretty good
But the one thing that when I was starting to think about like I kind of want to create an art project like that
but when I was looking through the Fidenza or other generative like a blockchain arts like
Bitmaps or dots or all these things. I think they're all really cool in their concept
But I I just felt like they didn't look pretty enough
You know and also Fidenza if you guys are aware like when they were minting
It was essentially taking the wallet address of the minty
To create that artwork right in an algorithm that he calls a flow field all that stuff pretty complicated and cool
But what ended up happening is that there's a lot of cool pieces
But a lot of them either are inconsistent in a sense that it either has like too much
white spaces or empty spaces or some are like too cramped and look too chaotic and
So I thought it would be a good idea to use that kind of same
Concept of using like say history, which is the blockchain hashes from 1 to 11 11
But because I'm using a customized AI
Procure just for me that I've been working on for a long time
It creates like a certain consistency throughout the entire collection
But at the same time like every single one is so different
Like sometimes I'm like, you know, I'm just going through my you know folder and just like I have not even seen this one before
It feels like that because everything is so different
and then there's also like really special pieces I talked about earlier like the king and the queen of say
That shouldn't really exist but they exist and I think it's one of the coolest things in my collection
Is that the collection itself is kind of creating its own narrative where there's like, you know
A king and a queen and there's some like you'll see a lot of pieces like you'll see like power grids
it's like creating its own story and I think it will be very interesting to see and
I want you guys know that the artwork was all done before I even
Posted the first post before I even created the Twitter for alive
All everything was done. The only thing is left is really we're just doing the testnet stuff for the mint site
You know just picking a right date for the mint, but I think it's going to be in about a few days
A little alpha also because the artwork has been done
You know for a while. I had been working on more stuff, too, you know, so look out for that, too
Dude, I appreciate you stopping by and also again for allocating some for the whitelist giveaway here
So we can get the word out about what you're building
I we I wish we had a full hour to sit with you man and kind of go through this
You know piece by piece and in kind of your process and all that stuff
But I'm sure we'll have future episodes where we can have you on the top, you know as well
So we do have to move on biggie
Yeah, I was just gonna say it would be cool to maybe do like a reveal party on the Saturday beatups that
Let's let's talk off air and see if we can't get that together
Trips join the stage trips
You're getting a ton of love here from simply at the start of this conversation
Do you have anything to add before we kind of move on this combo to what's happening here in the next few days on say?
Hey, yeah, thanks. Thanks. Thanks for the shout out simply and for having me up here guys
It's just really cool and exciting, you know to be able to be a part of this and like he said how it happened
You know, he just kind of DM me and was like, oh, hey
You know, I've got this art project and I was like, oh, yeah, that sounds cool. And you know, he said I noticed your bio
Yeah, Ephesians 6 12. I was like, oh, yeah, man
and the backstory behind that is, you know, I just kind of found sobriety and
That Bible verse is about putting on the armor of God on a daily basis and it's something that you know
Gives me personal strength
We battle against all these kind of forces these unseen forces and that was kind of my struggle with alcohol
So, you know sober for four months now and going strong
Anyways, it's and it's amazing to me. It's like that one little verse, you know caught his attention
He reached out and now here we are two weeks later about to drop this like banging art project on say which I you know
I think it's gonna be our first mover in the space. There's nothing like it and
It's just you know, the the the response and feedback we're getting is unbelievable, you know, people love it
They see it. They're like, whoa, like what is this? You know, where did this come from?
Which is amazing and then I love the the 11 11 number, you know
That's a that's an angel number and it's talking about
You know how we're all divine beings of light and we have the power to create our life
our angels are always by our side and they got us with love and insight and
this you know collection is all about it's like it kind of triggers something inside of you that kind of awakens you makes you feel
That that's that's what every time I look at a piece. I'm just like wow. Look at that. It's just so so cool
You know, it's just it it's very alive. So yeah, I just I love what simply is done with it and I love the art
It looks great and I will tell anybody who's lucky enough to mint
What's being cooked in the background I think you're really gonna like a lot and yeah
I'm just grateful for the opportunity to get to be a part of it and we're having a lot of fun
So yeah, I hope everybody enjoys it come midday trips
I appreciate you adding context there and some nuance that I don't think we've talked about
Yeah, simply you got the last thoughts man before we move on again. Appreciate you joining bro, and I'm happy to have you back anytime
Say less double more. Love y'all. Good morning. Have a nice day. I
Love it. All right. I'm gonna repost that giveaway one last time. I know I've said it multiple times
Also, we did get to the giveaways. I we had a couple
Previous shows that we had not picked giveaways for we got to all of them
So we've been giving away a white list for I think a whales NFT drop. We did a say chicks
Another one of those giveaways. So yeah
We finally got caught up and we will continue to have those here on the network every single day or at least each week
We'll we'll pick certain days where we'll do that. So yeah, I'll pin that up for the last time and good luck to everybody
Hopefully we can get our hands on some as well. All right last 10 minutes here
I've got with y'all and we're gonna hop into a couple different things
One I hate to turn this from like a really actually like super quality situation in conversation
But if you look up there in the Xbox, you can see the wee bum
You you can see the bums that have been minted from from wee bums there what there is a
Dab tie into this so Mueller is a da and apparently this is you know, his I don't know if it's his work
So yeah, we're gonna see what happens with the wee bums
There've been a couple like thousands say sales, but I think those are just like, you know, my opinion teams can do a lot with
That right like they'll be like chaos, you know
We'll make a huge sale here huge sale here and make it look like it's trading
So I don't know if it's it's organic trading happening on these freemen wee bums at a thousand say so we will see
All right other things that are happening across the ecosystem. I mentioned
Uh embers tweet there, uh talking about some upcoming mints
So what I have on my calendar and again, it's it's getting harder and harder to keep track of this ecosystem
Uh saps is tomorrow. So saps is going to be another one quality feels like it's got the sentiment
Uh, it is I believe a 50 say mint so on more on the expensive side
So that's going to be tomorrow
You'll see some interest there a serious also put out some some recent posts
I think I can get that posted up there. I already do
There it's going to be a freemen at six nine six nine. That's going to be on february
So that's going to or i'm sorry february 7th
That's going to be one you could potentially get ahead on so what you might want to do if this is you know
One if you're new to this, you probably want to join their discord. There are opportunities to get on white lists and things like that
Uh, you know the the question then becomes is it worth your time?
You've got to kind of you know, make that out for yourself
But i'll be diving into serious as well here over the next couple days
But yeah that announcement just came out the other tvds. I have i've linked up top. It's going to be nomads grapes
The council that we brought up yesterday and kryptonite. I think for the most part i've i've mentioned all those and posted that up top
As well, so you see nomads. Let me see if I can't get
Uh into the council i'll share that
Uh grapes we potentially have on friday
I'm going to try to squeeze a white list opportunity for anybody that we we potentially
Uh have as far as collections
Go these nft collections or pfps i'm going to try to have them come on and maybe provide some value back to y'all
On that so nomads grapes council and then kryptonite has an interesting piece here that i'm going to tie in
If I can find it biggie, I don't know if you can post that. Did you do the kryptonite?
Uh, because this is this is something that you guys could do for free that could potentially have some
Some some things happening
No, man, I haven't gotten on it, you know with travel it's it's been
I've been lucky enough to be able to keep up with everything going down at the moment
I will say the one last reminder that I will make is keep your eye on sait long. That's all i'm gonna say
Uh, I can just tell you from past experience
The team back there is very experienced. You know what the fuck they're doing
It's one to definitely keep tabs on fellas
We've given y'all some alfalfa here over the last seven days
And that's going to be one of the bigger ones that that is going to be
On the docket here. So definitely do not fade what biggie poppins is telling you right now
Yeah, and and we'll see if uh, they're willing and would like to come up i've
I've already extended open door policy. So we shall see but uh, yeah i'm excited about that
If you can get that pinned up there biggie as well, uh, you can do that from your phone
I believe and and try to get a say long post. They also gave us a quick shout out. So yeah
Uh, hopefully we can we can be fast friends there. Say long
All right, the last post and then I have to hop into my niftyq account. I am talking from the web three
Content network here's profile. We do shows every freaking day and we do them multiple times a day
So this is going to be our earliest right say what in the morning we're covering the same network
Every weekday here at 11 a.m. Eastern. We jump right into that gifted up here host the
Gm web 3 morning show. It's actually a really special show today
It's going to be roger dickerman's time to come in. He does this every month where he comes in and talks
rates, uh different artists that he's seeing
As far as you know, kind of sentiment or even ones that he personally likes so that's going to happen here in the next five minutes
Uh, gm web 3 is starting there and then we jump into nft live over there on youtube where we're covering the entire
Uh industry basically so give you have any last thoughts for our jump or I guess I could use this time to jump out
Of web 3, but yeah, you want to talk about that real quick?
Gifts are doing me a solid today, man. I I appreciate it. Uh, all right
I guess I will hop out of this account unless i'm the one that's rug biggie. Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you brother. I can hear you sounds good. Uh, okay last post and then i'm going to hop out of this account here
I was talking to you guys about kryptonite nft
So if you see the second post right up in the xbox pass say long which you also need to be following
Kryptonite has a proof of quest nft and i'm doing this as a favor for y'all. Okay, i'm doing this as a favor
Not many people have been to these it's like I think it's the last time I checked it was a thousand
That have actually been claimed or about 1100
This is free. You can go and just do this now and you can potentially claim
Uh in nft. I don't know if this and I do not think this is going to be their official nft
But kryptonite is one of the bigger d5 projects here in the say ecosystem and they have that going for free
You can hop on a galaxy do all of the action items there
Uh, so you might have to mess with it refresh it a couple times
But go and do that and it might be something down the road. Uh, all right, biggie
I don't know if you can hop in here for like 15 seconds
Uh, but i'm gonna switch over to the nifty cue account
My man's running out of voice at the moment, man, uh, dude
Um, i'm excited man. We've got two more shows
Web three coming up with gift dead and company
And then we have nft live which is going to be a fantastic one as well
And i'm sure we'll be touching at least a little bit on say because it's say season at the moment
Uh, but yeah, man, I I want to thank everybody for tuning in
It's always really nice to have
You know familiar faces support us as usual
Nothing but love for you fam
Yeah, I was having trouble with my airpods. I I guess I just won't use it
Hey guys last couple things and I got to get my cadence down
Uh to make sure I fit in everything. Uh new it just updated
Uh their p so their pf fees are going to become
Essentially passes. Um, i'm going to try to link this. I think the dragon swap
Uh closed testnet beta is something people should be interested in
I posted about it over the last 24 hours, but
It might be closed now like they might have closed it while the show was live. So I definitely tweeted about it
um, if you can get over to dragon swaps discord try to get you have to basically fill out a
Uh, and i'll try to post this up top for y'all. You basically have to fill out a quick application. It's like three
Questions and then you got to drop your metamask address
Um, i'm trying to get this for y'all, but yeah that might be closed now or it might still be open
I would head over there. Oh, yeah, they said two hours remaining
So you might have like literally minutes to go and do that. I just linked that up top
Ant swap is coming from the colony
So obviously one of the the most notable collections blue chip over there. Uh ant swap is
Apparently happening. Uh, they kind of it was more of an announcement of an announcement
Uh here not much detail, but that came here. Uh market beta coming from the saiyans
And that's pretty much it. I I like new it's update like the the pixelated art
Like I actually liked uh what they were doing
But if that's not something they feel like they can lean into
I do feel like an update to say hey, we're just gonna have these as passes. We're gonna move away from the pfp
I'm interested in new its approach because that seems to be like fairly
I don't want to call it innovative
But at least the team is is putting some thought into a lot of this, uh, you know
It's super low bar at this point on say so if the team knows enough to not go ahead with a pfp
And it's sitting there at 11 say
I would be interested in new it. I haven't bought any up to this point other than the one i minted. So
Um biggie, did you have any last thoughts before we head on over to gm web 3? Uh, say we mentioned say long multiple times
We'll try to get them on the show
Um, i'll announce giveaway winners here
Uh, and then we will have whale on the show tomorrow and then hopefully grapes on friday folks
And if biggie doesn't have anything we've got simply uh here thank you sir for for stopping by
Uh, it felt like it went went so quick, man
He's having fun, you know
Facts man, uh, all right, dude. I'll see you in the top discord. I don't do not ask me to get it naked today
That's where we were gonna end it no
