Hello everyone welcome to our first Twitter space of the year. It's been a long time since we had
one of this event and this one we expect to be fairly exciting. We have the protagonist
of our show next to us. Arsonic seems to be here. Arsonic are you listening us? Yeah yeah
I'm here. Hello welcome. We are already over 30 people so I think I will start explaining
how this is going to work and why we are making such a ceremony. We had this idea since before
we created the pull-up for celebrating the mistakenly published tweet by the SEC. We wanted
to do this full circle of creating a nice pull-up, offering it for sale, letting people buy it
and then offering them the opportunity of getting something really nice back because they got
that pull-up. The way we could do that is by a combination of different actors. We got the
kickstarter of the whole thing, Sarshido. Sarshido has been a friend of pop for a long time and
oh and there he is. Sarshido are you here? Yeah I'm sorry I'm kind of sick so my throat's
pretty bad. Well no problem. I'm very happy you kickstarted this whole thing and you are now
wrapping it up and your voice does sound very well so don't bother making it harder.
So Sarshido called me and insists on we need to make a pull-up for this crazy timeline we are
living in. Why don't we get a nice artist and we weep something quickly. I say of course I'm game.
Arsonic quickly takes a call, stops whatever he was doing and creates the very nice piece that
I believe most of us in this space have minted and shortly after I announced,
or I don't even know the sequence, that one of the mentors of his pull-up was gonna be even
a free Sarshan Pepe which is a beautiful piece of art of very high relevance in our industry.
So we launched it. It serves fairly well. We started preparing the campaign and finally we
got to the point today on which we will pick the winner. The way we will use for picking the
winner and this is why I'm talking so much because I'm not fond of talking a lot like this
but I needed to provide this intro to explain why we are doing this this way, why we are making
people showing life to be able to win the piece. The product we will be using for finding the winner
is a new development by the Power Up team which is called Power Up.fan. We would appreciate if
you're listening here, open the ruffle page which is powerup.fan slash ruffles slash something,
mistakes dash worm dash made or something. You can find it on our timeline. It's one of the newest
posts. On that page, you will see all the people that have shown. It's 118 people and
some information about your ticket number. Your ticket number is your Power Up ID so you could
see it on chain, your powerup wallet and that number is what could make you the winner
of the price. The idea is that this system will now start a process of generating a random number.
For creating that random number, it's going to use some pieces of information from the network like
the gas usage and do some basic math. Based on that, there will be one winner.
This is a new initiative that we are launching because we hated, I personally hated, joining ruffles
on which you couldn't ever tell whether the producer was honest. If they were on Twitter
and they say that they used a random number, you kind of never know. With this system,
you still kind of don't know because although we make it the most transparent,
it's not as transparent as we wish, but it is on the way. This is one of these experiments.
Now, I'm going to pass it to Arsonic so he shares some words of how he came up with the art and
such. In the meantime, we will start the ruffle, so please open the website, refresh,
and you will see some countdown and the thing about to start. Give me a second and Arsonic
will take it away. All right. Meanwhile, you do that, I can share a little bit.
First off, I don't think Sergio is sick. I think it's from last night, right?
But I really was not feeling very well, but I had to be at that dinner and
honestly, trust me, I wish it was Hangover. Hangover is a lot better than this.
Yeah, don't speak too much. I don't want you to get worse. Like you said before,
I did that plot with you guys. I was super excited when you offered that around,
jumped on the occasion because it's the kind of thing I'm drawing and that people know me for,
so it was just normal that I go for it. I think it turned out well with the quick turnaround.
And yeah, I see a lot of faces that I recognize here, a lot of Surgeon Pepe
and followers that I have around.
We need, speaking of collectors of Surgeon Pepe, we need to set your expectations,
our expectations. We love someone winning this piece and we hope, we hold them dearly,
given the significance it has among our community. Also, the reference has started.
I hope you're saying it. And I forgot to explain, we are picking 10 backup winners
because we don't know whether the main winner will be listening right now.
So right now it says drawing price number 10 backup winner. If you see your name here
and you win one of these backup prices, it means that if all the winners before you
aren't listening, you will win. So now for the backup price number 10,
there are only two tickets on the run. All others have been disqualified already.
And those are Cirox, Spicy and Shio Pero. So this is how we do it. This is why
it takes a couple of minutes because some of these numbers need to come up in certain order.
And one of these two gets disqualified. The remaining one wins and we go to the other backup winner.
Sorry, I wanted to explain that so people know what they are seeing on screen.
Awesome. So, and yeah, if I can add for the winner,
long story short, around Surgeon Pepe, if you don't know what we're doing here,
I'm trying to build. Well, it came out of the 6529 main collections in the first season.
That's when it all started. I think people enjoyed it and it kind of started a run over there.
The fun story around it because the Surgeon Pepe had a trade
called some morning green candle. So it was a lot of fun. But yeah,
around Surgeon Pepe, we are trying to build a decentralized brand, which means everything is
CCO. So everyone is allowed to use Surgeon Pepe or any derivative I'm doing or anything
to either make a product like the cold brew we did last year. We are doing a comic book.
I see the question maybe, but I don't know the answer. Is it a licensed art or is it creative
commons? It's a creative commons. Everyone can use it. We are hoping like more companies
use Surgeon Pepe to let's say make limited editions of products where they can
use our following our exposure to get started, to get known around.
That's what we are trying to build a big community that will be pushing anyone.
That's pretty exciting. It gives us, it gives me a couple ideas for us to follow up with this.
By the way, we got a couple of winners now. The 10th one, it's Chio Pero. Nine is
Kryptonalas.th. Eight is STB.th. Seven is S. Coffee.th, who I know, and he's listening.
So we can be sure that there's at least one winner now, because S. Coffee, I'm going to
make him a speaker. Where is Sam? How do I invite to speak? Sam, do you listen?
Well, he might not be listening. I'm sorry I talked over you, but I'm somewhat excited
about seeing his brother working. Of course. We got another backup winner. Sonic Sierra,
it's our sixth backup winner. Well, I wish Sam was speaking. We are five
left. Sorry, I was saying, yeah, the fact that it's CC0 and that it represents so well
one of the main things we care the most about, which is the freedom to transact.
You can have ideas for things we might do in the future.
I'm sorry, I just missed the last part. No worries. I was just saying,
it's really exciting to know that this not only is Creative Commons and anyone can use it,
but I can also think in a couple fun implementations we could do around PowerApp,
given that it represents something that we care a lot in our values.
Definitely. Even outside of pushing communities or products using it, I'm always also trying to
integrate surge and prepare around the things I do like, like coming up with a Gen Heart soon
with 6529. Every surge and Pepe will be able to mint it. I'm part of a little BGB lab business.
I'm coming up with something soon as well for the surge and Pepe holders over there.
So, yeah, it will be the main point of everything I'm doing, kind of.
This is a shield-friendly space. So if there's anything you want to share about
what's upcoming in your work or in your endeavors, this is a good time.
I'm not a good shiller, I would say. What's coming up, definitely the 6529 Gen Heart drop
on this new Gen Heart contract that we helped him with a bit. That's coming soon.
I've been helping the not-surgeon Pepe project. It's a bit confusing, but it's a project someone
started on Solana and we helped him as he's using the surgeon Pepe brand for it.
That's the kind of stuff we do. I've been super busy, so I will have more
Well, the thing that gets you here, it's your art skills, not so much your shilling skills,
so no worries. And we got the final winner. So now anyone that enters the raffle will see
the main winner who's called HQTXN.ETH and then the other nine backup winners.
If HQTXN.ETH is here, send us a direct message so we can confirm your participation and award you
the NFT to your address of choice. If you're not here, we will call Andre Messina, the ETH,
who's our second backup winner, and the third and fourth don't have ENS names. They are
our only addresses, so I will give them a minute. For confirming that you are listening,
we will require you to do a zero user transaction to yourself, so this poses no risks.
I see Andre Messina doesn't have any other power-up. I don't see that name in the audience.
Yes, in the audience, I see him.
Oh, okay. Andre, can you send us a DM, please?
I know he's a big meme maxi, so that's really cool that he won.
Nice, nice. I'm sorry for HQTXN, but there will be greater chances in the future, too.
I still didn't get any message.
That's an amazing product, by the way. Are you planning to extend it to,
I would tell, the project's order?
For other assets to be eligible. Yes, we are. It is unclear when will happen because it's
quite a heavy lift on engineering, but now with your validation, if you wanted to do this with
another asset of you, we would surely find a way of figuring it out.
That's awesome, because that way people can really complain about it's regret or not,
I found Andre Messina. He follows power-up, so I'm just going to send him a message,
hi, because it would be such a shame he doesn't show up.
And even if he doesn't, I think we should have ordered it anyways. What do you think?
I agree. He's been actually on all my posts and everywhere, so...
Oh, he answered. He's here. Andre, can you listen?
Hi, I just sent it to you.
Hello, nice to meet you. Welcome and congratulations on your new piece.
Were you already a session type holder or is this going to be your first one?
No, I definitely wasn't a holder.
I'm used to getting rugs, so this is quite a change.
Actually the opposite. Well, thank you very much. Congratulations.
I hope you will enjoy a lot of this new piece and your other power-up, which by the way,
seems to be your first power-up. How could that be possible given how long you've been in the space?
I had a couple on other wallets, but I created a new wallet about a year or two ago,
and so I had this one and I had the remeame Pope, but yeah.
That's very smart of you, so we cannot see all the shitcoin trading you must have been
doing on the early days. Oh yeah, my favorite was crudles and doodles.
Well, that's amazing. Thank you.
I think this is an awesome result. I will follow up with you privately for the delivery of the asset.
We appreciate everyone joining here, the 65 of you listening,
and we can't wait to have you again on our next raffle.
Thank you so much for hosting this for the community, Patricio and the pop team.
Of course, friends. Arsonic Cercido, thank you very much for making it possible. It
wouldn't have happened without you. Andre, congratulations. And oh, I almost forget
another very fun thing. We have a power-up for the 65 people that have shown this.
I almost forgot for minting the power-up of having seen the first power-up raffle,
the first power-up on raffle. And Andre winning, you need to go to the power-up app.
On the bottom right corner, there's a mint action. Tap mint. Secret word and type. We got the ETF.
And I'm going to do this for myself. The power-up is not as nice as Arsonic's because we've done it
on a rush. But it's still a nice little collectible of being part of this moment.
Secret word. We got the ETF. Let's see if this mints.
Mine is minting. This is only going to be open for like two more minutes. So don't hold to it
because you will miss it. And who knows, maybe this power-up gives you some chance to
play something else in the future too. I don't want to drop too much alpha,
but this is a very good pop for people to mint. Thank you very much, everyone,
and enjoy your weekends. Thank you. Thank you. Have a nice weekend. Bye-bye.
