good morning, good evening, good night.
Welcome to say what in the morning.
We do these at 11 a.m. Eastern every single day. We're about a week old at this point.
It's nice to see you fantastic, beautiful people here in the morning, a big GM to everybody.
Again, whether it's your morning, your evening, or your night.
Busy day here on the say network, nothing slowing down. Definitely the volume pricing is
looking a little bit different than it maybe was a a week ago,
but some of that might even be related to what palette just did overnight.
So that's gonna be part of the conversation. I've got say whales hopping on to the show today.
We had frog on a couple days. We've been highlighting what he's been doing over with Sega aka now
Rebranded to say whales. They've got an NFT project upcoming. So always trying to highlight the different builders in the industry
But folks, I appreciate you joining again
This is say what in the morning trying to cover the entirety of the say ecosystem for you here in around an hour
Monday through Friday, I'm nifty Q co-founder of web 3 a content network focus. I'm providing you the most educational
Informative and entertaining content in the industry and and today is gonna be a little bit entertaining to start. I've got some words
Like a few rest of I mean a few individuals here in the the ecosystem about the latest palette update
Not a big fan. I'm not gonna tell you why here in a moment
Other things I got on the list here. First of all congrats to the whitelist winners yesterday
So we had a live 11 11 and simply stopped by we had five whitelist giveaway winners
I threw them into the wheel of names
And it uh, it spit out the winner
So if you did win that congrats to you if you didn't we're gonna be doing whitelist giveaways all the time here
On the show and I mean, please please please please please give me a couple hours to get that done
I would love to be able to pick winners and do all that while we're live on the show
But right now i'm just getting my legs up under me on x spaces
It's tough to do so and I had some comments like hey, where's the where's the whitelist? Did you rug me?
I promise I will never ever rug you
Okay. Uh, all right a couple other things that we'll get to
Here on the episode again. We do have say whales hopping up here in just a moment. We're gonna cover the past mints. Oh my god
I have done this multiple times
Sapes is minting right now. Are they not?
Okay, saips mint update here launches being moved one hour ahead due to some last minute whitelist updates
It's going to happen at 12. So we have till the top of the hour. Thank goodness
I don't want to fade generational wealth, but I got to bring you guys the content here. All right
Let's let's bring up biggie poppins. Let's bring up say whales
Here so frog is behind that account
Uh, I will get to the rest of of what's happening though
We're going to cover the the past mints some mints that happened yesterday
Some present mints. So again saips
Happening in one hour. It looks like we got the update from that team. I this is the last mint
That I am going to to miss or not know if I have a whitelist
I already showed biggie what i'm working on behind the scenes. I got myself a google sheet now an excel spreadsheet
Uh, that's that's actually the top by the way
So if you ever catch me making a spreadsheet quantum variants laughing right now
Because if you catch me making a spreadsheet like I did with friend tech, uh, that is the top
Uh, but anyways, we do have present mints happening saips ghost of seishima
And a couple others here and then future mints that i'm looking at of which say whales is one of them
So, let me bring in a frog here in just a moment biggie poppins first though my my trusty co-host
So the shining birds are tripping and the deans are gawking
My man was enjoying the sunny weather in mexico
Yesterday, he was in a pool. Just just getting after it man. Sometimes you need to take that rest
That break although I wouldn't count your breaks as normal people's breaks because you're still getting after it. Uh, all right frog
What's up, bro? Nice to have you in for I think what is the third time on the channel? How are you doing, sir?
Thank you very much. I wish I'd written down a
Whitty intro now. I can't after following biggie there, but uh, hello to everyone
I will say from experience that wouldn't have helped. Uh, biggie poppins puts us all to shame. Uh,
sir, we will get to what you're cooking over there with say wales at
15 minutes no, no 25 minutes here. So right in the middle of the show we'll hop into say well
Uh and and this rebrand that you guys have pulled off this week. I'm interested though. Uh, what around the network is
Kind of standing out to you again your super heads down. Is there something you're interested in? Are there mints that you're looking at?
What are you seeing, sir?
Oh, well, we're super busy with what we're doing, uh right now, but yeah, i've seen that saps
Looks pretty interesting. I'm sure it's going to mint out in next to no time
Um, I heard there's that nomads coming out a bit of controversy around that of course with the price being what it is
but yeah, I to be honest with you we've been we've been so busy with whale and
Getting this uh say whales nft collection ready
We haven't had time to look or ape or do anything like that that we might normally do
It's a totally fair answer
If you if you had said you were spending all your time degenerating, it might actually be bearish on what what you're building with
Whales, so totally fair answer. All right, we'll jump into
What is on the top of my brain here?
Uh would love anybody else to to hop up here and give me your takes on what's going on
But to me the biggest update here other than nomads and saps is going to be what the fuck palette is doing
And i'm sorry to use that language
Uh when we first got in the ecosystem, you know compass wallet palette
Obviously like those two tools not being in place
I think would have hindered a lot of development and growth on say but this update overnight
Is absolutely ridiculous. I've posted a couple other posts up there in the top
Mills I see you in the audience too. Uh had you had a great post. Let me see. Yeah, I think I posted that first
Uh, so poke elector and mills and then also mikey with an update on a potential competitor palette
So if you don't know palette, uh, obviously is the biggest nft exchange
Here on on say they have been again
I've been a big proponent of this company and in the product that they're building
Although there's been a lot of detractors the update they made overnight was that now if you visit the main page
There's only 10 collections that show
Uh, so i've already run into folks that have been in in say that are like what what happened to palette
What happened all the collections like they don't even know that you have to go over in in the top right corner
And and you know go by collections
Now the front page is by 24 hour volume
So you get what kind of the trending collections are
If you go to the if you make it past this step
Now we don't have a lot of the the maybe lower market cap collections collections that need to have eyes on them
If you go past that and you jump into collections
It's sorted in and locked by the way. You don't have any option. It's locked by
or or just all-time volume
Which again pushes the top collections to the top there is no kind of trending
Pieces there unless you're something like yaka, right yaka launched at the beginning of the week
Here in in total volume, so they're going to be at the top
But what you do with that is push everything else even a project that maybe launched two days ago three days ago
That's not in the top 10 down maybe 30 spots
I I don't mean to get on my my high horse or or the pulpit
Here early in the episode, but these are the type of little things that we just simply we simply just don't need these missteps
Uh in in like a growing ecosystem
Uh, so yeah, you can imagine what this did the volume i'm not blaming this
Whole thing, uh on pallet, but volume on these smaller collections is going to get hit by this and it's not good. Uh, give
I uh, I lined you up with a with a hardball here. Uh, i'm over here preaching, but how are you doing this morning, sir?
Oh man sounds like uh, everything's great. Happy to be here
What's up? Happy to have you here. Uh, biggie poppins. I want to bring you in here or or frog as well
Do you guys have any takes on this update?
Uh here or the situation?
You're right. It it's uh crappy move and
You yes, the product could be better. But man when you when I hear you say these things cute
Opportunity this is opportunity, right? I I do believe some of these
Smaller collections are going to be affected by this
Well plugged into the system and and and you know what collections are building and doing well
Well, shit, it might be an opportunity to pick some of these up by by yourself prices, right? I know
six little bloodthirsty of my part but uh
Opportunity is always looking for blood on the streets. If you don't know this man, he's he's an absolute shark
He wants the whole ecosystem to to crumble so that he can pick up the pieces at the end
No, i'm just i'm just kidding. I I I totally get your point. We are early
It does give you the bullish vibes of okay
This stuff isn't infrastructured out and people are still making major mistakes. So I I feel that
Uh, this is a great opportunity here. This is this is awesome to have poke elector here
if you guys want to hop down into the the speech bubble and give any type of
Of of kind of grats or just any type of say
More say less just anything you want to say here in that speech bubble
It helps get as many people in here as possible
It helps support the show and I want to do that for for poke right now
So i'm going to go and do that
Uh from you for the first time but welcome to the stage poke elector. I follow all of your posts
I love how you keep us up to date on all the the daily mints and the future mints. So how are you doing?
Hey, yeah, i'm doing well. Thanks. Thanks for having me up. I appreciate it
I uh, I don't know. Yeah, I just ever since a say came out. It's been like a pretty
Really good vibes and especially the dragon ball z tie-in
Uh bought bought a lot of us in for sure. Um, but yeah, I just uh, just wanted to chime in on that
The the the palette update
I and I appreciate you posting. Uh
We're pinning my post up there as well. Uh, yeah, I was just just a few points like of course
We we can't thank palette enough for being that first marketplace because without that I don't think many of us would be
Here to appreciate all the amazing collections that we've seen
but yeah that that that change to just having 10 kind of
Takes away from all of the other collections. Like you said it kind of gives this
almost like a rich get richer kind of vibe because
You only see the top collections and you don't have any chance to see the new ones
Especially on mobile which I noticed. I don't know if it's just me but um, if I go on my phone android
I just go to the palette website
Signing my wallet which requires me to use the compass app. Uh, if I don't if I just open chrome and go to the site
I don't have any option to see
Um, I know on the computer I can do that. But on the mobile which is i'm guessing a majority of users
Um, that's a pretty big hit
From my take at least because then you only see the first 10 and you don't get to see all the
Trending projects the the projects that are building trying their best, but they're not in the top 10 now we have over 100 collections
Um, so i've had the i've had the opposite experience on because I haven't done mobile at all
I've been on desktop and I can tell you it's the same on desktop
Oh, yeah. Yeah the the signing, right?
Yes, the the first page you only see 10 collections. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's yeah, that's that's like a
For everyone, I guess but I think the drawback is because on the pc you can still click the collections
Button at the top right if i'm not mistaken and then you can see the rest of the collections 100 plus
But for mobile you you don't even get that so that's a big hit in my
My opinion because you know like majority of people who might be trying to just check their collection check the floor price
You can't do that anymore. You have to log in through the compass app and then sign and I think that's a big step back
Okay. Oh, I know you're not on the palette team. I know this is kind of just superfluous
but why make this decision as palette and
One of the really cool things I i've been kind of
Kind of trumpeting for us on the network is saying look we have loud enough voices now that we can essentially have our have those voices heard
And I love the different tweets that are coming out and i'm gonna post my own as well
Like hopefully they make the decision to go back to the previous update, but why make the decision in the first place?
I like when I when I thought about it, it kind of did make sense in the sense
Uh, like yeah every day there's more collections coming up. They have to have about 100 plus
So I get I I think maybe for load times for the main page perhaps. I don't know the statistics statistics statistics exactly
yeah, I think just having top 10 is not a good idea or at least have like a seed more button like you suggested
in the comments before or or have two tables have
Top 10 and then have trending or or newest collection
So that way people can kind of just scroll through and see all of those things
And not just top 10, but I I know i'm i'm sure palette's kind of on this as well
So hopefully they do make that change and get it get it back to
Well poke I love that you jumped up here
I'd love to have you back on the show if you want to you know, come up here anytime. Uh, the door is wide open
Frog do you guys have any takes on palette?
I don't want to spend the whole show on this, uh, but I think it's important for us to kind of at least
All right, just a fantastic job, uh derailing
Show you what the one of two of you one of you at a half a take here
Well, let me let me just say
Uh, I hadn't actually noticed, uh, because like I say being too busy, but one of our team members noticed
Uh that that had been the case
Um, I didn't realize I assumed that it would be based on like 24 hour volume just for fairness
Uh, I do see your point about if it's on all time volume, it's
Not good for the smaller projects to say the least but to be honest with you
I've never been a fan of the way palette is laid out at all
Before or now this might sound like real like uh
2019 nft mania or whatever
Uh, but the way the way open sea was set up originally where you just search
For you have a few featured projects at the top
And then you just search have a search bar and search for the project you go for
I just think that would be much cleaner because now as you said you've got 100 odd
Nft projects and another 10 hitting every day
If they're just going to keep it as one one long list
It's going to get even more cluttered and unsightly
Yeah, it's a great take. Uh, all right. I'm going to move us
Quickly here before we talk say wales and what you're building a frog. I want to talk about this
Other marketplace that is is potentially going to be a competitor, which is uh market exchange being built by sayans
So i've got this post up here right next to poke's piece. I think it's the second
Uh there it's it's by mikey, right? So today's february 1st
You know what? That means it means that sayans nft will be bringing the say ecosystem a new marketplace this month
Beyond pumped for market exchange. It should make the say experience even better
guys, if you're in the audience and you want to talk about this stuff or or
Anything that kind of is brought up by topic feel free to request and we'll bring you up
But I mean this essentially is is
Going to be a competitor launching at the same time where palette is making some of its first mistakes
I I don't really have like a specific topic
Uh on this I guess it's more kind of just saying this is the update
I don't know what date they haven't kind of rolled that out yet
But i've been pounding on the table that if this marketplace is successful
Sayans are incredibly undervalued, uh at the at their current say price. Uh, of course, this is nfa do what dyor all that stuff
Uh poke do you have any thoughts or or anybody on stage here have any thoughts about?
Market exchange and and what you'd want to see from from this release one. I would love to see is is obviously like mass
Sweeping, uh as well as maybe the the option to have bids
That would be I think phenomenal especially because we have these low priced assets
Uh, so yeah thoughts guys
Discoverability the problem that we're talking about is
Discoverability with palette. So how are they gonna do a better job? That's the question
Yeah, I think that that discoverability goes out the window like we were saying with with this new update especially
That second page like I I get the first page
But if you could go to collections and then maybe see the trending pieces, I mean that sucks
But the fact that they have both it's like a double
Uh kick in the gut for a lot of these smaller collections, uh poke
Frog or or biggie takes on market exchange
Yeah, I mean I think it's very clear that there's a land rush right now to build infrastructure for this space
And whoever gets the market with the best product is going to win
Say in samurai stoics. There's a whole bunch of them, right building different tools that are in dire need here in the ecosystem
I that's one of the opportunities that i'm playing not all of them win
Uh, but I I agree with you. I mean, I I think palette is sorely losing
Like certain key features in the user experience and the ability to explore some of these collections. And again, I i've been
That to my advantage, you know when it comes to looking for traits, uh, and and and then also when it comes to looking for
Projects that have yet to reach a certain level of eyes or notoriety, right if if you're some of these communities
They're a little more embedded in the system and and are keeping tabs on who's building what man
That's tremendous opportunity. It won't always be here folks
So I would encourage you to take advantage of it and again look for these teams that are building
Uh tools that will you know, possibly supplant the the current ones
Fantastic take absolutely
This is the time to be even even though prices might be suppressed or or situations like this occur and and maybe we get hit
It's definitely a potential buying opportunity. Uh, did someone on mike?
Um, yeah, sorry. I just wanted to add in. Um, I guess for any of our new listeners or
Whoever is new to say just as a summary, I guess currently we have
From marketplaces we have palette which is kind of the the domain one that everyone uses with the most volume
And then next to that there's the gora
I guess if you may not have heard of that that's that's more kind of like a multifaceted for multi-chain
Marketplace there it's not just say
And I think that's kind of why people kind of don't use that as much but it it is there and it doesn't have all
The collections it has some of them
And it's a good place to if something's minting and it's not on palette yet. The gora usually has it but you kind of have to
MacGyver yourself into finding it
But um, yeah, just just on the palette note. Yeah, I um
These are drawbacks that they're having and especially like like you mentioned this the second page that is definitely a kick in the gut
24-hour volume. That's that's ideal. That's good because you know what's trending but
total volume makes no sense because there's a lot of projects that got volume and they're they're rubbed and you don't want them getting
Right now that's what that's what's happening and new projects that are up and coming with a lot of potential
They're they're all the way at the bottom and with no chance to
Uh, we'll get any visibility. I guess so it is definitely a negative, but hopefully pallets working on it
I know they have uh, they have announced or they they've mentioned palette v2
um, which I guess supposed to have have new features or a lot of uh,
Options that everyone's looking for
Uh, but yeah, i'm super excited from market
market exchange from seance
That that looks amazing. That's kind of like the blur if you're from eth or tensor from solana
That's kind of what it looks like. It has the sweeping from the previews that we've seen just a few previews it has
Like the the analytics and the visibility of all the details for your collection the sweep option
It does look pretty bullish. So yeah, i'm really excited for that. Um in terms of features
I'm hoping because none of none of the exchanges so far have like analytics in terms of like
You know like the graphs and the the dot charts and stuff like that. That would be kind of cool for the advanced users. Um
And especially yeah, like you mentioned this the bidding
Like mass bidding that would be really cool because that kind of will establish projects that people are bullish on and help them grow
But yeah, yeah, I know that's that's my piece
No, great. Okay. Great takes all around. I appreciate those for sure
The parallels to solana and therium and those two marketplaces you mentioned tensor and blur
We're not going to get down a royalties rabbit hole, but
We were discussing on nft live our youtube show basically like hopefully
We can kind of take some of lessons learned maybe from ethereum. We did check out magic eden
They do support royalties, but i'm not sure on the tensor marketplace. I haven't been using
Uh that piece, but yeah, hopefully that just doesn't go out the window with some of these updates. Uh, all right huda
A data analyst and strategist and all of that
Wearing many hats over there at cryptoslam. You guys i'm sure
Uh know that website that landing page that company
Huda is doing a fantastic job with his morning minutes that i'll get posted up here at the top and also as a yaka holder
Uh, i'm not i'm not salty, but how are you doing today?
You forgot to mention an idiot
That's mostly what i'm known by or as good morning, man. How are you doing?
Good, man. We're kicking it off. We're about to talk to wales here in a second. And uh, yeah, it's been a gm
I I caught some of the talk about marketplaces and all that man
It's just it's the perils of being a young ecosystem and it's all good stuff
It's just opportunities for everybody on the builder side like the platforms, right?
But also all of us that are in that ecosystem collecting and looking for opportunities, man
It's such an exciting time and you just don't get those times that often. So enjoy it while it's like this
I appreciate those takes sir. All right. We are about halfway through the episode here on say what in the morning
We're barely a week old. Uh, so this is episode eight. Uh, we are talking to say wells in just a moment
Some of the today's mints that are happening. So we got the saps announcement right as we went live
I thought I I faded that uh, and and it looks like we got an announcement that at the top of the hour
That is going to be minting. So everyone waiting for that. Nomads is another one that we'll touch on
Before we do that, uh, it definitely helps the show if you guys can go over there and comment
In that right hand speech bubble, you don't have to say much you could say gm
You could say what's up, uh, you could say da day to you. Whatever the heck you want to say?
Uh, you know, we we appreciate that we're trying to grow this morning show and and kind of proliferate this
Uh in the talks about say to the rest of the ecosystem
So we you know, we i'm not going to give you a backstory on web 3 and in our network, but we've been primarily
Within the ethereum ecosystem
We've been you know kind of getting on to different alt chains
And so whenever we're kind of hosting these a lot of times we get new folks into the ecosystem
So it's it's a good time and I feel like that's a a strong onboarding tool for
This network, uh is the ability to reach those those e-heads and salona heads and all that stuff
All right. We did have a nomad situation here. So another mint that was pretty hyped up
Uh kind of received some fud this morning. I think maybe rightfully so
I think people were giving a a blowback on the team here a little bit
Too much when you're talking about a mint price of I believe it originally was a hundred say
So they were coming out. I I think the supply was
Uh 5555 correct me if i'm wrong
Yeah, they were trying to sell it at that price. We just saw yaka finance do that
Um, so it was interesting for me to see people kind of blowing back on the price and saying oh, we can't support this what happens
Uh all that. I know there's there's definitely more
Uh more fud and and maybe more info that that is definitely more based in reality, but when you talk about
Supporting a collection at that price we've already done so
And it was over allocated by the way people were trying to get in
Um, so that maybe is a a little bit
Uh again, i'm pushing back against although the team's background and some of this stuff, uh, that was coming out about
their history and and what they've
Not created or not delivered and and all that so there was a lot of information coming out a lot of people saying hey
I'm not minting this and lo and behold, uh that hit them pretty hard
Originally, I thought that they were going to slash the supply, but it doesn't look like that
But they are slashing that price from 100 say down to 40
Uh that that's not really a good look. Uh people already kind of like side-eyeing the project
Here and waiting to see if other people were going to mint
Uh, you know that that's not the best look for for nomad. So we'll see
Uh exactly. I don't think they're minting yet. Uh, a lot of times it's it's tough for me to cover
Uh the live mints as i'm on the show
But pokey, do you know if this is being minted now or have they pushed this back even further today?
Uh, I know you're you're doing a great job covering
Uh the the mint calendars, uh on the day
Um, yeah, as far as I know like they they put out an announcement they said, uh, they're finalizing the mint with the wee bump team
Um, and then as soon as they have that they're gonna post the link one hour before the launch
So, uh, we're all kind of just waiting. We don't know exactly when uh at this point. Okay, but today
Yeah, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. I see that announcement in their discord. Okay, uh, so yeah
We're we're kind of wait and see on nomads and then saps as well at the top of the hour
the most notable mint of the day here, uh
You know noticeably there's there's actually a lot of positive sentiment around engagement with the team and stuff like that
So i'll attempt to get that stuff pinned i'm i'm still kind of getting my legs under me
On the x spaces side having to do multiple things at once
Uh, but yeah saps is is 100 gonna be the mint for the day. Uh, all right
We're gonna bring say will's in here in just a moment. We're gonna talk the project
Uh and and everything that's being built for about 15 minutes and then end the show with some future mints, uh that we're talking about
Before I bring frog in here
The two mints that did okay yesterday say avatars, uh and wee bums
although wee bums was kind of a stealth mint
Here for uh for wee bump holders, uh, it's sitting at like 70 say right now extremely low supply
And then say avatars did okay. Uh, they I did post an announcement up there
Uh from them two hours ago talking about their day one bumpy start. Um, so
When I say they did they're doing well
I mean they're not sitting sub one say
We see a lot of these different projects kind of come out the gate and just completely fall in their ass dead on arrival
Unless something crazy happens
um, but yeah say avatars maybe we can get a follow-up with but
Let's uh, say will's what do we have? What's your like?
Motto, what's your motto here? Uh, do you guys have like a way you greet yourselves?
Do you say and I know you don't say dab to each other. What are you saying to each other in the chat?
Um, we don't really say anything just gm normally. All right
As we bring frog in here just get a gm in chat
Uh there in that reply box, uh for for them, you don't make you don't you don't make whale sounds at each other
But we could do join our discord and we can make whale sounds at each other
Sounds like a great time. I'm actually if I wasn't already in discord, I would what's up gift
I'm just saying that's the kind of utility I need for my nft's
All right gift. Ed is completely rolling out of bed
I'm gonna douse this guy with coffee somehow, uh sitting across the coast with him every single morning
Frog it's it's been awesome watching like in real time the rebrand from sega
To wales, we have a lot of folks that are potentially, you know, not knowing what's going on
With that rebrand and where you guys have come. Uh, do you want to give a brief intro?
On the project and what you guys are doing today?
Well, yeah, we we decided we had to rebrand because if we want to really make this into
a project that becomes synonymous with say
We don't want to be running into any
Trademark issues down the road which
In all likelihood we very well may have done
If we were to stop with the sega theme and that and first we were going to put out the sehogs
But when um, we had the opportunity to work with this artist who
Worked for a couple of years with the louverneur
To make new nfts for us. We thought we'd be foolish to turn down
That um opportunity so we are doing that we're going to put out a much more
professional and polished
Hopefully, well, I think certainly benefit the holders of our token. I think we're going to be the first
Say token that releases own nft collection and
The nft and the token are going to be
joined at the hip essentially
And we're looking forward to the mint
As you said or you touched on before
Uh, just as easy as putting out a collection and hoping it mints out. There's a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes
Um a lot of talk about pricing as you said, we don't want a nomad situation on our hands with our collection
Likely to tarnish their reputation forever. So that's got to be taken into consideration. There's also collaboration considerations to be taken
Into consideration we're already talking to a number of the biggest and most well-known
Collections on on say and we're also in
final negotiations with a well-known one on ethereum
And we'll be reaching out to other big ethereum based nft projects
In the future as well. So we're hoping to sign up some deals and bring some people over from ethereum bring some
Uh much needed liquidity some whale money shall we say
so I want to make a quick distinction here because we had a comment on the last show when we first brought you up and
Saying basically like projects with tokens are bearish
And really I mean there's an element of truth to that with nft projects and just like throw out
Uh, you know a token like maybe we could save ourselves and all this stuff
But there's a clear distinction here that you guys started with the meme coin and are launching an nft project
It's completely different. It's it's a way different process
Uh, and I think it leads to a different result, but go ahead
Yeah, I mean we we're doing it the other way around and you can talk about other projects that had uh nft projects and then coins
I only really know about um eight coin, but that's completely different to what
Ours is presumably vcs had a bunch of different money in there
They had vested periods and cliffs and then dump their tokens on my apex it hurts so much
Right, but you know what? I mean, we're a community project. So the tokens are already out there all the supplies already out there
This is something I want to do but this isn't finalized but
After our mints done i'm thinking we should uh set aside like 10 of the proceeds from the mint
Which will hopefully be a substantial amount of money
And just use that periodically over the space of a week or two
Just to buy back and burn the whale token plus when we're on palette or all these different. Um
Nft markets that are popping up on say we're going to use
Potentially thinking the first week we might use a hundred percent of the royalties to buy back and burn
The whale token there's also going to be more utility for the whale token
Down the line as well some really interesting stuff
Educated people and people with
Very nice connections that are going to help us
And we're going to come out with some things that are going to surprise a lot of people
I think some people in in in the discord, obviously
They're like when when when and I get it
lack of patience space shall we say
Um, and we we recognize that as well, but we want to make sure everything is done
Right. We want to uh, make sure everything is planned and executed perfectly
um, we had our migration from sega to
A hitch there were a few people who were a bit confused about
What happened but once we explained you got dropped one for one whale token for your thing that
Um, your token price was the same as it was when we migrated from sega that amount of downtime was literally just 15 minutes
literally, if you only had one sega token you got airdropped one whale token, so everyone was taken care of and
The future is incredibly bright if I had any uncertainty about where the future of the project is heading
I wouldn't be speaking with such certainty, but i'm really really really excited about
What's coming down the pipe and if any of the community members too because I did say in the discord if any of them want to
Get up and ask a question
Well, they're happy to let you ask me the questions. That's fine
But if any of them want to ask me a question, that's that's all well
And yeah, i've got a ton of experience co-host up on the stage
That if they want to come up in or at least ask a question
Please do so or if you guys want to drop that in the replies you can so as far as the details are concerned
Is there a price for the mint? Is it going to be free?
Like give me a little bit of the details there and then tell me a little bit about that buyback piece that you were mentioning
About I think two days ago when you were hopping up on stage
Okay, so let's take that bit by bit so
it's probably going to be
We have to make everything's make sure everything's right. We're not going to rush out
Uh a project and it's going to be botched in some way
We don't want to do that for ourselves because we've been working our asses off
three weeks on this nft collection
Um, we want to make sure that goes well for us
Well for the community well for our whale token holders
In in terms of the mint price, we're still in discussions about that. Uh, the supply will be ten thousand
The mint price will be reasonable
Um, we will have uh guaranteed mints. We'll make sure everyone who is guaranteed
Uh and a mint space will get a mint space because we know there's been some
Issues around that so if you're guaranteed a mint with say whales you will be able to mint
Then we'll have a whitelist which will be more first come first serve and then eventually we'll have a public mint
The pricing the tiers will be set rather close to each other because we noticed
By doing our research the projects that had kind of big jumps between their tiers
You had people uh minting at the early stages and then just
Dumping, uh the floor price because they've made an easy 2x. So why do they really care?
So we really want to keep a tightness and we don't want to if it does get to public
We don't want to rip people off
Might have a chance of getting on a public paying twice as much as someone who has a guaranteed
and uh as far as the token, yeah, we're going to be
Uh working on things like once the nft's collections out we're going to
Uh work with our partners to get some merch out. We're thinking perhaps we'll take payment in whale token
So people can pay for their merch
Uh in whale and what we do with that we can decide we're looking to
We've set aside money for airdrops. We're looking into
grants for creators builders
Uh artists and things like that that we can do down the line
We can have projects that uh kind of born off the back of say whales
Um, so the token has a great utility and the nft is also going to have a wonderful
Utility as well. It's going to offer you membership to a doubt. We're going to have uh
We believe we're going to be one of the top tier nft projects on say so
We believe will be falling over themselves to have our holders be on their
White list and we'll also
We have different people within our team that can help
Forge relationships with other projects and get them in early on different things
I don't want to over promise the world. That's why i'm speaking kind of vague language
In terms of both the mint date and the mint price. Let me just say in terms of the mint price there will be reasonable
We're not looking into cash grab or anything like that, but bear in mind we do have expenses
We do have a team that's been busting their
Pretty much 24 7 for the for the past three weeks trying to get this nft collection
Ready and we'll be busting their ass for another two weeks or so until the mint time as well
But we're really going to take care of both the community
People from other communities who joined partnerships with us. We're not going to say to we bump for example
Oh, yeah, your holders can have a guaranteed mint, but then we overallocate and they can't get
A mint if you're guaranteed a mint you will be able to meet with us, sir. I appreciate you stopping by today
We only have a couple more minutes. I do have some experience co-hosts up here
Like I said that I would love to get any last like lightning questions in
Also, I do want to kind of ask obviously a ton of people in the audience
Is there is there a specific way that folks can get on the white list? I know we did do one
Giveaway here earlier this week
But as far as like getting onto the white list and joining the discord like what are the actions right now that people could potentially
Right, well we are anticipating quite high demand for guaranteed og mints
But the people who are og's in our discord right now will be guaranteed
Hold a certain amount of tokens if you hold
Over 50 million a whale tokens
You'll be get one free mint if you hold a higher amount you can get up to five free mints
Plus a white list spot. Uh, that's another benefit for the being a token holder for the nft
Um, and what was the rest of your question? I forgot. Sorry
No, I think you answered it. Uh, so I huda biggie poppins gift poke like all my other co-hosts up here speakers
If you guys have any questions, uh, definitely drop them out
You said how could people still get on an og spot? Well, basically, um, we are
Calculating everything so we've got to consider our collaboration partners for og spots
But if you come into our discord
If you're very active if you're sharing our tweets if you're liking everything commenting
Invite people into our discord if you're making really dank original funny memes then
There's a very high likelihood you will get an og spot equaling
All right. Perfect. A lot of commenters here that i'll get to in just a moment guys. Do you have any last thoughts before we let
Say will's uh go and free him of of holding his feet to the fire
Oh, no sounds you got it. It sounds I don't know if i'm talking over someone my bad if so, but
Project. I didn't realize it was the what was the original name the say say guys. Was that it?
That was you guys. Holy shit. Yeah, that's wild. Um, yeah, kind of cool connecting that dot right there
But no really looking forward to this. Do we is there a mint date announced?
It will almost certainly be in february, but um, I think it'll be um at least a couple of weeks i'm hoping personally
We got an artist who's got his own
So he's doing this while he has some downtime
But we're really putting the pressure on him to get it done by uh, the middle of february
So hopefully not soon after the middle of february. I'll just say I love listening to the project founders speak
I learn a lot. I I probably learn more from that than I do like in the discord and reading through even faqs and whatnot
You just hear the quality of the people involved in the project. So hearing you talk has really just sold me on the whole thing
Okay, do we have our first say what pump here on the show
The first post i've got posted up here from alex kosa commenting. I think this happened during the show
I can't confirm. I don't see the time stamps there
That that that's a little that's a little green candle for say what I think uh frogs
So definitely definitely fun times abound, uh excited for this nft minute
But yes, I think that's a say what candle on what on the say token if you look up at the xbox there
Yeah on the on the whale token. Oh shit. That's beautiful
That wasn't a say what it just um, no financial advice but
No, we will credit that to the say what space is then yeah, that's what I was looking for man
All right. Happy to have you hopefully we can work out a potential collaboration here in the future
As we get closer to that mint date as well. Uh, but yeah, uh, awesome awesome, uh times
Thank you to the whale community to stop by as well
Well, yeah, I just want to say thank you to heaven is on. Um, I wish uh, we would have been on at 4 p.m
UK time because i've got to eat some food, but i'm happy to wait for you for your esteem self
Uh next time, um, perhaps we'll come on at and uh talk again
But um, if you're not aware of who we are follow us on say wales
Uh this twitter come into our discord say hello do a bit of research and we'll uh, we'll love to talk to you
answer any of your questions
Thank you very much. All right folks. We have about 10 minutes left here on say what in the morning
We host these daily spaces every freaking day 11 a.m
Eastern i'm sitting with my esteemed co-hosts and and some awesome people man. Again poke is a legend
Uh, looks like fiat fire just joined us as well. I will get to you in just a moment
I am nifty q I I do have i'm over there in in the corner
With the cream on cream and the orange beanie. I am talking through the web3 network. We do have some awesome. Yes, you are closed
You don't even kind of like the fact that they will test you every day. The naked dobs test me
We have some really freaking cool, uh shows here today. So gifted
Uh or count gifted as we call him this early in the morning is hosting
GM web3, which is more of a multi-chain kind of full coverage of the industry
We have that here at the top of the hour
And then we have subber so the subber team that you guys are familiar with a lot of these giveaways go through subber
Uh, we have a subber team on nft live today
So that is fantastic good on you for getting that one done man locking down that team. I'm interested
Uh in in what that team is doing to continue to help build out
Uh the infrastructure for these communities. So yeah, really cool stuff
Want to get to some some last things here on the say network
So guys any quick thoughts and then i'm going to touch on some comments. You guys are are killing it there in the comment section
All right, if not i'll kind of get to the comments here first of all belly rumble
Appreciate your takes here. He's saying say avatars didn't do well
It is less than half mint price bumps are bums are now 80 safe floor and only 80 listed
We bumps are planning a dow for the holders of wee bumps. Uh, sir. I'm a wee bumps holder. Uh, i'm a little
I got a thick wee bum. So i'm excited for that. I think I fucked up there
Like I saw the nomads like that wasn't on my radar. I saw it this morning
I saw it was pricey and I needed some say it didn't want to deal with my base or anything. I sold my bum
Yeah, yikes. You hop off of the stage sir. No
Look if you gotta make you gotta make the moves dude
I'm not gonna get in front of you making any moves these days. You got the golden touch
Uh belly rumble also with the say avatars piece. So I appreciate you bringing in
Uh that as well and then also talking nomads has 5k supply yaka has 2.2 k supply
Yaka is legit proven. So there's no comparison there. I guess the maybe I misspoke
I was basically talking about people saying the the network can't support these higher mints or these like really high paid mints
I think yaka showed that that like that had an over allocation
So again, that wasn't like they were struggling with a 2.2 k supply
They could have easily done more supply and I think the network would have been just fine
Paying that so I I do agree that the two teams obviously with yaka's background and them building
That they're not in comparison at this point. So yeah great stuff
Uh arc is saying sapey's saps delayed an hour. I don't think I think that was 47 minutes ago
So we're still good in the next nine minutes potentially on saps
Uh, why are you calling the founder of say will's frog? I because his account is is frog
I believe that he came up on stage talking
The last two days, uh, how are you saying tuning in with my secondary account daring divas suspended unfortunate?
And then I got a ton of dobs in the chat. I appreciate you and dob day
To you folks biggie huda anybody up on stage and also fiat fire. Welcome. Uh gm to you, sir
Uh, do you guys have any thoughts before I get to a couple different updates here within say as we round it out
Good to see you, sir. Happy to have you in the in say what in the morning hop up on stage, man
And this is where my co-host come in and give me their takes on the
Actually, we don't host shows every day together
You're doing you're doing such a good job cube
You're just you're doing such a good job
It's so nice for me to just get to just munch sit back and and listen to you just spin
You know, and um, yeah, what are you what are you eating? Are you eating beef jerky?
It's about an hour or two early for beef jerky. So this is uh,
One of these uh, I don't even know what they're called
Alpha alfalfa perhaps. Yeah eating alfalfa and rx bars, and I got my protein shake
Dude, it's so funny over the course of the hour this show how you hear dead wake up
Like he is a different person at the start till the finish of it. It's fucking crazy
Rise. Yeah, I used to do this live on on gm up three. I used to literally do this
All right. Yeah, get some updates, man. I mean, yeah, yeah update. So poke you were on miking there
Uh safe moon. Nice to see you and fiat fire. Nice to see you. But poke you were on miking. What's up?
Oh, maybe he wasn't on miking. Okay fiat fire safe moon. Nice to see you. Uh, what's going on?
Hey, um, I think and I guess uh,
Sir are you talking through a soup can in the corner of your room?
That's hilarious. Oh might have been it was very very hard to hear you, sir
How about now guys perfect
You know soup cans have had their day
But um, it's it's time to move on
I was I just wanted to ask the founder there. I I guess siega
Left and i'm just curious from anybody else
If there are any differences in in launching a collection or a project on say
Other chains like have you noticed that difference in the launch process?
You know what you're talking about like the mechanics or in terms of the like just the reaction to it in terms of the technology, um
You know my understanding of of say it's that it's a huge
transactions per section per
Does that make any difference in?
You know different steps of launching a project
You know, I would love to have the wee bump team on the show to kind of break this down
I don't think anybody up here has
Has like launched a project yet, but I i'm assuming that that's going to
Going to be uh something that those guys can answer. I mean and biggie
I I look keep it short because we literally have like four minutes left. I want to get to some of these stories
No, I mean, I would just emphasize that like high transaction throughput and like low cost for minting is a boon
Very much like it is in solana and other chains
but we also have to contest with many of the things that other chains have to contest with which is like
Bots and you do have to kind of like do the allow list grinding and all of that
I think like there's not too much distinction there where I would highlight the distinction is more on the ecosystem
The fact that it's nascent and it's fertile ground to build and at the moment
We're going through that honeymoon period euphoria phase, right? There's not a lot of pvp tribalism going on
Uh projects are cross pollinating and collaborating and I think that is the biggest part that I would highlight in
What is different in this space as to others that are a little more established and have more attrition rate?
You know, i'm an attempt to have the wee bump guys on fiat and maybe alpina
When we have that combo because I think they would be a great job to explain like lighthouse and in that whole process
Uh, there it's 11 56 and there is no saps link. I am freaking out
I don't even know like I set up my whole list my whole excel sheet again
Q nifty q making an excel sheet
Is the top so I say that very tongue-in-cheek, but I made my excel sheet last night
So i'm never gonna not miss or or miss a white list opportunity again
Sapes is the last one. I have no idea. I might get it. I might not
Into the future that will not happen. But yeah, it's still no link here
For the mint website. I have a question. What's that? Are you gonna troll me?
No, no, no, no, no, I don't know we all know your clue that's not true
It's just fact but uh, i'm curious as to whether you are using a bot queue. Have you got yourself a bot?
No, i'm in the stone age. I mean i'm absolutely in the stone ages. I leave that to
The discord groups i'm in to see if I can can take advantage, but no i'm not like using a bot or anything, man
All right. Cool. Uh real quick a ton of updates that we're actually not going to get to one outline sold off
We were talking about outlines and the significance of the art projects
Uh kind of launching this new meta, uh here. I'm I was thinking about buying around 110 120
Yesterday when it was sitting around that floor price and it's sitting at 70 say right now. So I think i'm I am
Going to kind of do that here in the next couple days
Guys any takes there as I switch to my personal account. I do have to get off of the web3 network
Because gift that has gm web3 here in just a moment
But yeah outlines selling off it feels like maybe the art meta is not is is hot
Maybe in long lasting people looking for like again infra projects or projects with utility out the gate
There's I hope there's going to be a burgeoning meta here with art projects, but yeah, not yet
Yeah, I think we were all hoping that the art thing would would be a thing like the first really really nice art collection
And there's plenty of I think really good art on say already
But I just like nothing's automatic and we're seeing that play out and maybe they just fade away. I certainly hope not
It would have been nice if they had something to follow it up with immediately, right
Like another artist or something to immediately follow up with it or at least to be able to announce and keep anticipation going
Having said that I know they haven't insinuated
uh, and so this would be an opportunity to buy in at a lower price and
Secure future benefits who knows I dig the art. So i'm keeping mine
Yeah, I mean I I own three outlines and i'm looking to potentially get more here having the provenance of being that first
Uh art kind of based project I think still holds some weight and then you got to look at like jack butcher
Uh and a couple others who do you you downvoting me right now?
Get a fish head bro. I think it doesn't matter. I've got five of them
I don't think it matters that you're like the first nice art, you know, um, it's you don't like that provenance narrative. No
Again, like coming from the tasos space, you know, i'm a little jaded
Okay, I gotcha. Okay. Uh, yeah, I mean we'll see I think
The other point is that biggie was talking about having something out the box
You need to look at somebody like jack butcher, right?
Like the gamification and stuff if you're actually looking to have to hold people's attention with
Like primarily art based collections
Look at the the gamification there. There's a ton on the east side
So hopefully they are looking at that safe moon really quick. Give me your last takes here
Uh, or not. All right q i'm, sorry. What was that?
No, it was me not listening. Oh, perfect. Uh, thanks huda. Appreciate it
All right safe moon has his hand raised but he he's not, uh talking so i'm gonna
Kind of give us the there are so many things man. It's tough to pack in an hour
We've been doing this for like eight days now. This is episode eight
Uh, we are going to have grapes collection on tomorrow. So i'm excited for that mint
I'm gonna have grapes on the network and on the say what in the morning here for episode nine
We did have wales today the man there's a ton but there there was an update from utopia here
So a ton of people posting about utopia
You can see it up there in the xbox. Not sure if say network is ready for us team has been cooking plants have been made
Partnerships being forged. It's time to join the saiyan army and they they use the uh, the saiyan ticker there
So that just posted. Oh my god. I did it again
What happened with saips? Does anybody know?
How do I do that still i'll link as far as I I can see yeah, dude, I don't think they're happening
Like honestly, yeah, there is there is some very very real fud in the in the wee bum holders chat
Hey guys. Well again, again, we are rolling into two other shows
So we do in huda and biggie poppins are my primary?
Other co-hosts along with we call him count gifted because he's waking up here every morning with us
But gifted hosts gm web 3 and then we roll into nft live which is our kind of flagship youtube show
That we've been hosting for about three years now. Um, so it's it is I I mean we claim
It's the longest running and continuous live nft show that it like is in existence today
So it's been fun to cover the the ecosystem since then definitely leave these fellows alike here up on stage
Uh in a follow, uh as well a lot of heavy hitters up here. Uh, we're gonna be back tomorrow
So hopefully we can hear from safe moon again poke appreciate you stopping by
As well, uh, you're you're a legend, sir
And I appreciate you, uh kind of covering and keeping us up to date on those calendars fiat fire huda biggie poppins
I'll give you all any last takes and then I gotta head head out of here
I just want to say I appreciate you see you in web 3 you've been doing a great job
So, uh, keep up the great work looking forward to joining all the future spaces
Legend all right guys. We'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully with the grapes collection that would be
Uh in grapes community, that would be an amazing show. I think they're doing a lot of cool things. So see you tomorrow
