Yeah, this right here goes out to all the babies, mamas, mamas.
I'm coming for real. Never meant to make your daughter cry, I'm
upon the child's a trillion times I'm sorry, Miss Jackson, I'm for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry, I'm upon the child's a trillion times
My baby is drama, mama, don't like me She don't seem like having the boys come from
her neighborhood to the studio trying to fight me.
She need to get a piece of American pie and take her bite out.
I disconnect the cable and turn the lights out.
And let her know her grandchild is a baby and not a paycheck.
It's private school, daycare, she has medical bills, I pay that.
I love your mom and everything.
See, I ain't no one who lay down.
You want to rip me up and start a custody war, my lawyer, stay down.
She never got a chance to hear my side of the story, we was divided.
She had fish fries, cookouts for my child's birthday.
Despite it, I show her the utmost respect when I fall through.
All you, you will defend that lady when I call you.
Never meant to take a dog to cry.
Ooh, I'm just real. that you are real.
Never meant to think about the crime upon the tides of
Me and your daughter, gotta stress the things all we got.
You'd stay if you're beloved, we'd say it's your crime.
I hope that if you feel this, feel this way forever, you can better predict it, but you can't predict the world.
It's Jackson's high to nine, never mind fine, the quickest puzzle, throw it on my mouth and now decline.

This is Grateful Show 441.
Let's go gmgm everybody so hyped to be here i went through so many spaces because i was finishing my database
guys four years today exactly four years today we had a first episode of The Grateful Show with so many legends here in the audience.
I went through most of the names and, you know, I see Showbiz, Otter, and many, many of you that has been with us almost since day one.
We also had, I think, let me find the number.
440 episodes uh till today and we had 866 people
on stage which is crazy i don't think there's 866 people in web 3 anymore
i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm kidding you know we still good we still good
absolutely wild journey guys so in the second half of the show, we're going to be celebrating.
So if you want to join us here on stage, request, I'll bring you here.
Absolutely love to see that.
Also, please retweet the space so more people can see us, join us, vibe with us,
because Twitter algo is absolutely, absolutely crazy.
I will rename the space right now.
And yeah, let's start with Tino
Tino how you doing man guess who's back MFR? What's up GM my man so excited to be here
super pumped up I missed a few episodes of course I missed you guys a lot. And man, four years, I remember exactly how I was sitting in my office.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
That's originally was the time of the show.
And I was waiting until it starts, until you get us on the stage.
And we were talking in the background, man.
GM, bro, how have you been?
It's crazy because I have all the episodes.
Unfortunately, Twitter back in the day, they didn't keep the spaces.
I think they deleted them after some time.
So there's no recording of the first episode.
I just know that it was three and a half hour space.
We talk about how to build an NFT project, which is interesting.
You were the first guest of the show.
Yeah, it was because it was the time when we were launching Rumpelkrew NFT project. And basically, you know, it was very funny because the space was, it was like a wild, wild west.
And, you know, there were so many people who were trying to get your money for like consulting and KOL stuff and everything.
And I think we put there a lot of like alpha for the normal guys who didn't know who, you know, who could get
screwed by some of the people who are like the shady ones in the space. And I think it was a very
cool space. Many people then joined us and it became a really nice circle as well. I think we'll
talk about it later on, but it was a nice circle of friends, basically, you know, just stopping by in the afternoon
and just talking about the DJ and stuff.
Guys, second half will be about celebration,
about all the episodes, everything that happened.
And just checking the first episode,
we got here Aydro Animation on stage,
which I'm still in touch with them.
Then I see we had Dario De Siena,
Trying to share some names that are still around because not everyone's still around. That's true, for sure. But it's great. So many people still around, and we're going to be talking about celebrating, having fun. Talking about fun, one of the legends here on stage, Showbiz. Man, how you doing? How is it going for you? What's good, bro?
Just wanted to pop up here and say happy four-year anniversary.
Been doing all right, man.
You know, some health issues.
You know, so that's why you haven't seen me around a whole lot, you know, in spaces.
You know, been dealing with some health stuff.
But, yeah, I'm still here, man.
But big congratulations to you'all man you know
episode 441 i mean you guys been going strong for a long time and you know consistency is key to
you know all the success you guys have achieved man you know so yeah big congratulations
man, you know. So yeah, big congratulations.
Let's go man, thank you so much. I still remember the first episode that you
joined us here and man, I understand that you have some health issues because
bro, your balls have to be so big because you basically single-handedly holding
orange background apes, you know, you're the strongest one. So, man, you need to find some orange friends, bro.
Nah, man, if I join Aqua, man,
you know how many people would be hating on me
because they'd be like, I'm a traitor, you know?
You can just, you know, misspell it as a traitor, not a traitor, and you'd be like,
yeah, I'm a traitor, I'm good, I'm good, guys, you know, I'm just Aquano.
But Showbiz, so happy to have you here today, you're such a legend.
I mentioned Hydro Animation, he's in the audience right now.
He was here with us uh in the
first episode what a crazy crazy right um guys before we get into the celebration we have very
interesting topic and because i'm i went to the past i checked that we we hosted zack september
22nd 2022 for the first time the the second time uh i think it was february 18 2023 and we were
talking about fight for royalties blur versus open sea damn and we're still fighting for royalties so
uh it's still a topic uh we've met few times irlRL, which is always great. So these spaces are incredible too.
You know, Algo might be shit, but spaces, the vibes and everything always up.
I see like a new generations of hosts here.
For example, Honeybee, he has been killing it with other games and everything that they have been doing.
It's absolutely crazy. he moved to Bangkok.
I think my pronunciation is off but he likes it that way so that's the thing. I will also bring
Snack Solution account here and let's welcome Zach here. Or Tino do you have anything else you
would love to share before we start? No man go go ahead. It's always good to hear showbiz. I hope you'll be much
better my man. You got all the energy now from the Grateful Show and so just stay on
stage and I think you'll get very charged after that and I think you'll be good man.
Good to have you here. Also Jacopo man, such a legend, such an amazing artist,
such an amazing person, man, and so many other people
that are here with us and have been here with us
basically since day one, seriously.
I'm trying to get a snack account here, but damn, Twitter,
probably you have to leave and come back
bugging again and i cannot get you here guys on stage it's absolutely crazy and i remember we
actually talk about the platform that you've been building i think it was just a day before you
released that so that's awesome that we can chat them i still can't get that account here what's
going on twitter uh maybe tino you can try to that account here. What's going on Twitter? Maybe Tino,
you can try to bring them here, but let's keep going. Zach, welcome here, Legend. What
a beautiful punk. How is it going, bro? Doing great. Great to catch up with you guys. I
felt a moment of cringe with the NFT royalties topic, since I think that's a firmly lost battle at this moment in time.
But huge, huge shout out and kudos to you all first off for four years.
Kudos to anyone who's been building in this space that long and is excited to continue
to build into this next cycle.
And even more so to the folks who are even past that on multiple cycles.
I'm in that same three to four year range with you all.
So huge kudos for you still out here creating.
I love it and I love to see that you never give up.
And that I think is really important in this space.
Like if I go through the database,
are the ones that actually found
their own way how to do it
and actually kept pushing, right?
I shared today the quote from Kobe.
Don't rest in middle, right?
And we need to keep pushing.
It's not easy. The market is crazy,
you know, politics, everything is crazy, but you need to find your circle, your way. And we have
incredible people here. It's really, when I log in, start a space and I see those beautiful PFPs,
I'm always happier and really grateful to see such incredible people here. You know, let me do a few shout outs.
I see Baron, the legend here.
I see the Six, the Pluck, Otter, Honeybee, Bedras, Truth,
JCS Snacks with the best sold in nuts in Web3
and probably in the whole North America.
Zombie Rob, Brisk Black Mambaamba love it backed up otis gma uh crypto lee vegas gamble with life
uh onizanza marathon crypto the best basketball player 100 the best basketball player in web 3
and so on guys i will i will do a second oh i see Jeff Pancho and so many incredible people here, guys. Thank you so much for the support.
And yeah, Zach, I love that you kept building
the Snack solution. I know you also built
marketplace back in the day, but now I think you used all your experiences
from what you built before and you actually
the platform that we are going to talk about today.
So could you give us a short intro, like what is it about?
So, and I'll give a little background here relative to our shared experience together.
I see my co-founder Jason's in the audience today. We started Snag three and a half years ago with the goal of building kind of growth technology that could help leading Web3 brands and builders onboard the world.
retrospect was building white label NFT marketplaces. And even the folks, you know, like
Magic Eden, as an example, Blur, who have won or are leaders in NFT marketplaces have had a really
hard time building, you know, meaningful and sustainable businesses. So, you know, there
really was not a financial or market opportunity in marketplaces, but we were able to listen to many of those
early communities who were partners. And what we heard from them is they needed help, you know,
really growing their communities and engaging their current communities during a really hard
market kind of post FTX as everything was drawing down. And so that led us to build loyalty, kind of tooling, off-chain reward systems,
and really land with kind of point program tooling before that became a meta in maybe
like 2022, 2023. And so we pivoted the business progressively that direction and eventually
actually deprecated the initial marketplace business. And so today we're predominantly kind of an incentive distribution and rewards platform,
working with blockchains and large brands to drive rewards, whether those are mint-based,
token weight-based reward, or off-chain kind of points and badges that oftentimes then
translate to tokenized or context-rich rewards,
kind of offering a breadth of options there. And we're working with folks like
on the brand side, Moonbirds and Pudgy Penguins kind of doing SBT rewards.
So some like point program stuff there across Igloo company as well. And on the blockchain side, working with folks like Nexus,
Flow Blockchain, we were working with Camp Network last year and did all of their go-to-market
pre-TGE. So kind of helping folks grow within the category and leverage both, you know, or track both on-chain, off-chain, and in-app contributions to drive custom rewards programs and growth outcomes.
So I've built a pretty sustainable business there, had our first profitable month in December, actually,
and really just thrilled to be kind of like default on and alive as we head into this next bear market
and have opportunities to really think about
how we find that next big leg up on growth.
And I remember back in the day
with those white label marketplaces.
It makes so much sense back in the day.
I think everyone was sure like that's the way
that every project should have their own marketplace.
Like Punks were the number one example, right?
And yeah, it's experience and I believe that it taught you a lot of things
and helped you to build Snack even better, right?
Because we're talking about rewards, I want to say hi Machiavelli here on stage
because he's one of the MFs who's behind the biggest games in the other side, right?
So they are dealing with a huge community there.
So Machiavelli, if you have any questions or want to hop in, just go ahead and welcome here, man.
I'm doing phenomenal, man.
I'm showing up a little late today, but thanks for having me up.
And no, I'm excited to continue to hear what's going on.
And, you know, like, you know, we need innovation in the space.
We need to try new things and continue to experiment.
That's what makes this place so great.
So Zach, what's like the biggest challenge or obstacle that Web3 communities are facing these days?
Because from my experience, I think it's been like five, six years in the space.
You need to keep DGents engaged, right?
If they are not engaged, they get bored and they leave and they forget about you and they go to another shiny thing.
So what's the biggest challenge?
I do think to some degree it's creating products and both, I think for products to sustain
engagement, they have to break out of the kind of Web3 echo chamber, at least from like
communities point of view. And so, you know, Pudgy Penguins really is the best example of that today.
Moonbirds is doing some interesting stuff. Obviously, Yuga's had some success as well,
especially with the other side more recently. But for to give DGens the ability to kind of open, continue to speculate and remain excited,
I think there needs to be not just the talking points on Twitter about ability to reach mass
audiences, but some actual plan and or proven ability to do that. And so I guess like again, you'd have to come back to the Pudgies playbook.
I've seen threads about that being, I really forget the numbers, but
maybe like a 20 to $50 million run rate business just in terms of how they're
leveraging the IP for game licensing, toy licensing, partnerships with soccer
teams, et cetera, et cetera.
And really kind of piggybacking off of some of those brands and moments to drive revenue and sustainability, but then also to, you know, prior to the next big token, give their
community something to tap into and really be excited about.
You know, again, other side, Moonbirds with their collectibles, etc. I think that's
really going to be, you know, increasingly required for anything that's not CryptoPunks
Yeah, Web3 is still so small. It's absolutely wild. And one thing that I realized
is that we are really dependent on X, right?
And with stuff that's happening here on X,
And I think it can really harm Web3
because the algo change and bots and everything.
So I believe the good strategy
is to expand to other channels too, right?
We have Instagram, we have YouTube and so on, which Honeybee is crazy.
You know, he's been streaming, he's been clipping, he's been everywhere.
So I think that's the way.
Could you give us a few examples how people or companies use your platform
and how it benefits the holders, collectors, customers,
Yeah, and I realized earlier when I was listing some partner examples,
lots of OG Apes in the crowd here.
One of our better examples for this group is probably the Spotlight program
that we did with ApeChain last year.
And we're kind of working, continuing the conversation with them about what that looks
like as part of their building our backend more into the ApeChain product in the future.
But that's a good example of a program that tracked both social contributions, referral
contributions, things that drove traffic and social signal
around ApeChain, but more importantly was tracking on-chain contributions, whether that
was purchasing NFTs, holding NFTs, or participating in prediction markets and other applications
on ApeCh chain in later seasons. And so our core value prop is first to projects or businesses in our ability to track contributions
that drive real growth, financial growth, and growth on chain critically, and do that
in a way that is fun and engaging to communities and really, you know, adapting our technology to drive their own custom growth strategies and campaigns.
And so that's really where we shine is in kind of helping projects allocate rewards, whether that's, you know, NFTs and NFT purchasing in the case of Spotlight or more frequently direct token rewards, sometimes SBTs or NFTs, et cetera, in order to drive growth.
So, you know, using that reward spend kind of as a marketing P&L and doing that in a fun and engaging way.
So that's primarily how we're working with partners.
We powered the back end of the OpenSea Rewards tab in their previous implementation of rewards
kind of season one through the end of last year.
And have done other kind of similar core growth campaigns to help projects stand out in the
I think that's the hardest way to stay sustainable sustainable to have a revenue stream, basically, as you said, and find a business behind it.
I think that that's the biggest challenge for so many projects that we've seen over the past those four years here.
So what would you, you know, like from what you've seen from the stuff that you just mentioned,
what would you recommend to the projects that are still around?
Or where do you see it heading?
Yeah, so I do think, I largely agree with Spencer of Orange Cap's take that, you know, fungible,
sorry, NFT communities are kind of Trojan horses for effective fungible tokens.
So I do think, you know, of the communities we work with that have not done a token yet, I always do encourage them to think like not, hey, how do you launch a token this year? But how do you think about building, even if it's a two or a five or a 10 year plan, a roadmap of like, what does your product roadmap look like?
What are your revenue sinks, et cetera, that would enable you to successfully launch a token in a way that's kind of authentic
to you, compliant, et cetera. So I do think tokens are to some degree the core innovation
of crypto, at least as it relates to go-to-market growth and engagement in their ability to, when well done, effectively kind of like
fund, you know, or really bootstrap, I should say, go to market and enabling projects to
And then I think, again, it just comes back to like you do have to have, even if your
product is like a super strong Giphy viewership or TikTok audience,
et cetera, you have to have some core product that's not just a, you know, community in
its own echo chamber on X like you guys were joking about earlier.
I think you're right, but do you see a future where this goes also outside of our small
echo chamber where we've seen so many big brands entering the NFT space during the bull
Do you see the future where any major brand or major company has their own token or stablecoin?
Yeah, so like, I think I don't see big brands launching will be the biggest kind of onboarding period for major brands into Web3 of any time by far.
And that that'll be driven by mostly stable coins and then other similar kind of like blockchain enabled consumer experiences.
similar kind of like blockchain enabled consumer experiences. We have two core bets for this
upcoming year. And one of them is really around how we leverage our technology to drive stable
coin use cases. And so one thing I'm working on right now, I'm going to, you know, several of us
on the team are early DoorDash and kind of have a lot of kind of experience and contacts in the
restaurant and grocery categories in the US.
And so I'm doing kind of broad based outreach to kind of key contacts at public F&B companies
around doing stablecoin powered loyalty where the yield from the digital dollars will fund outsized loyalty rewards,
you know, stuff that is beyond normal user expectation via that yield.
So think like, hey, purchase in stable coins and get 5% cash back, spend $100 in a month
and get, you know, free walk on every order at Chipotle the next month or, you know, different kind of
implementations that drive outsized growth via leveraging that rewards in more
kind of like consumer friendly ways, you know, not just hold dollars in account and earn yield,
but really using that yield to drive growth of the core applications. And so I'm just like
super excited about that as one space that we're going to continue to spend time. And then, you
know, I think prediction market is actually funny enough, and that is another category that we're
planning to spend some time in. But the leading interfaces for predictions will be, you know, the New York Times or ESPN.com or even, you know, like Polymarket was already white labeled into the Oscars and a couple of these sporting competitions, etc.
Right. So it's really going to be, I think, you know, large businesses adopting this crypto enabled technology.
And then on the back end of that, like NFTs absolutely play a role in that.
You know, whether that's as membership or whether that's just as technology for like
But I think it starts with the broad consumer use cases that are already just like blowing
use cases that are already just like blowing up today, which is super exciting.
up today, which is super exciting.
Man, from Web2, I'm used to getting rewards using booking.com. I'm climbing the ladder there,
getting more and more. I don't know, you get some percentage, right? The more you book,
you get some percentage, right?
The more you book, the better deal you get.
Because I'm not familiar with many projects
actually using something like that, like reward systems.
You mentioned Moonbirds, you mentioned Pudgies.
Could you mention some examples
like how those projects actually reward those communities?
Yeah, it's such a funny question.
I really appreciate you asking that because I've never thought of it that way.
In Web3, the paradigm of rewards is so warped that traditional loyalty really doesn't exist.
With both Moonbirds and Pudgies, I'll talk about Moonbirds since it's been going on for longer.
Moonbirds, we did these SVTs that were mintable by both Moonbird's community members, but also kind of ecosystem partners.
Jupiter was a partner, CoinGecko was a partner, et cetera.
And they were kind of fun, brandable moments.
We're doing something similar with Pudgee's roughly.
And they did end up kind of translating as part of the equation on TGE.
part of the equation on TGE.
And whether the participation in ecosystems
is quite that directly rewarded with tokens
or whether the relationship is a little bit more abstract,
that really is typically the way these communities operate
is with the expectation of future airdrop-based rewards.
I actually guess an interesting kind of counterexample then is Flow, who really outlocated all of
their token roughly in the last cycle.
And what we do with them is power a reward shop interface where points are actually spendable for physical goods, PlayStations, digital gift cards, really focus on electronics
gift cards, USDC, et cetera, that are purchasable as NFTs in their reward shop. So they're actually
spending points for off-chain assets that represent real items.
And they have a whole formula around how that value from contributions, gas spent on contributions, et cetera,
kind of translates back into that ability
to spend on physical items.
It's just very kind of out of the design space
in terms of how native businesses are traditionally
And I do think we'll see many of those businesses get smarter and integrate kind of like direct
cashback, reward per trade, etc. where they're doing direct token distribution based on those
a lot more of that. Guys, if you have any questions, drop those questions in the comments.
Also, please retweet the space. We have 20 retweets. There's many more people here. So please
retweet the space lower right corner, press that purple button and you can retweet it there.
right corner press that purple button and you can retweet it there i see many legends here i also
see nesh another legendary ape ape whale aquamarine on top of course guys right showbiz and so many
more of you love to see that i will also try to invite snake account here if it works or not
and yeah it's really interesting man i think we still have a
some way to go um you know to figure out all the ways how to reward communities uh everyone has
everyone is doing different thing right uh we are building the the metaverse game which is
which is a little bit different than trading cards for example but it has uh it has a huge
potential to reward players
and reward people spending time there, doing stuff there.
I can imagine that maybe for hosting something there,
you could be rewarded, right?
Other games, what they are doing there.
So many ways how to do that.
How can people actually...
You mentioned Moonbirds and Pudgies, those are like a big projects, I would say.
Who are your other clients? We don't need to know names, but are projects like other games or these community built or driven activities also, like your potential client?
activities also like your potential client?
We've done a lot in gaming.
I actually think gaming is a really interesting
category within Web3 where it really does
make sense as a use of like NFTs, blockchain technology, etc.
consumer products. And right now you would probably have to give Web3 gaming, obviously
other side is maybe a clear exception and still quite early in its development because of the
amount of scope around the project relative to other Web3 gaming projects but like largely web3 gaming
gets a failed today but i think it was also a too early some of the consumer uh as abstraction
and just kind of ease of development wasn't uh wasn't there uh and i i absolutely think that it
will get validated as a category in the next few years.
And it's only going to take one example, whether that's another side or another project that's, you know, is currently building a project that kind of pivots out of Web2 to leverage some of the technology and then starts to drive adoption.
And in that use case, NFTs just make a ton of sense.
In terms of our partners on the gaming side,
I'm actually just going to try to pull up our app up real quick
to make this easy for me.
Yeah, so on the gaming side, we work with Wildcard.
We work with Zed Run, Zed Champions.
We work with CCP, which actually is a large kind of traditionally Web2 game studio.
I think they've raised that something like a $400 million valuation
and are launching their first Web3 title.
Uprising Labs and several others here. So that would be gaming category.
We do a lot of work with blockchains. We work with ZK Verify and Horizon, Ape Chain.
We work within kind of the Igloo company portfolio broadly, Zeta Chain, and a couple of others.
So lots of native brands here generally.
We do have a couple of kind of more traditional partners,
Rolling Loud and Black Mirror,
who have both launched an NFT and a token respectively.
But hopefully that helps give a flavor of where we are today.
And really for 26, the goal is to build products that we can
sell to, you know, web two businesses, traditional brands, et cetera, in the stable coin and
predictions category. So I'm trying to really broaden beyond that, you know, native TAM
as a core priority for this year.
Yeah, it's really interesting, man.
Can't wait to see what you guys built and what other projects you onboard.
I see Sivu down there, guys.
I have to announce one more thing.
Sivu is giving away three yachts.
It's a beautiful Italian yacht,
at least 50 feet long. Or maybe not, I don't know, maybe it's a beautiful italian yacht uh at least 50 feet long or maybe not i don't know maybe it's
digital one but guys retweet the space and i will pick three of you and you will win yacht which is
absolutely incredible uh click on cibu's profile you can learn more and i also see dr dave coin another legendary ape with just with just a wrong
background but it's okay uh love dr dave coin and yeah man let's get into social file also because
twitter is killing one thing after another right they killed socialfy now it seems that they are
going after the prediction markets i don't know what else they want to kill they killed bots
or at least bots they are writing through api which are much more sophisticated bots that
you know they use computer and and stuff so i don't know if it fixed the problem
but what's happening in socialfy and uh were you also uh part of any campaign or your product actually hosts any of those?
Because, man, it's crazy.
It's not only about the people and creators, but about the businesses.
They had their marketing budget and everything, which they can do whatever they want, right?
But they decided that no InfoFi campaigns here.
Yeah, definitely a crazy pivot there.
I guess specific to Snag first,
we do support kind of social Fi-ish logic.
We didn't ever build out kind of InfoFi
in the kind of like mind share metric driven
sense that you saw with Kaido.
But we reward users for creating content, for the impressions of that content they create,
for liking, retweeting and following, you know, kind of all the core social activities
that are traditionally associated
with SocialFi. And we were actually not affected by that crackdown. We don't work through the XAPI.
We're kind of, you know, we're working over the top of it. And so, you know, I've continued to
offer those services and really are seeing lots of demand for those services with other, you know, have continued to offer those services and really are seeing lots of demand for those services
with other, you know, projects being taken out
So it's been great on our end,
just from a business point of view.
I do think the category needs to mature a little bit.
I think we, and I think that ties with what we're trying
to do on really driving, you know, everyone was talking about, hey, we're tracking on-chain as part of these social buy programs.
But it's not enough to just track what's happening on-chain.
You actually need to reward users for their on-chain contributions and make those contributions really critical in order to achieve high earning positions.
Like the whole concept of rewarding large token allocations for posts on Twitter with no actual, you know, product usage,
it just doesn't make sense and it's not what tokens were initially supposed to drive.
So it makes sense that the category almost needed to get cleaned up or shut down
temporarily. But I think we'll see other variations that are just less sloppy and more around
supporting real community members and micro influencers, et cetera, around creating real
content and driving the growth of projects.
And I think that the category will solve that for how to do that more organically.
The biggest problem is that there are always people who, of course, try to farm everything
So I don't know if InfoFi was that bad for my timeline
because after they shut it off or shut it down,
my timeline didn't improve.
I still have AI slop and stuff like that,
so I don't know what's going on there.
I also know that I remember that project.
Damn, I need to check it out again.
It was hub.xyz. I don't know if it's still running.
But they moved their info file
other channels like Discord
I know you do Onchain rewards, right? So
what do you think of that? Other side. Other side.
I mean, it's super sad to see the shutdown of Farcaster. I don't know if it's really shut down,
but you know, the team giving up, etc. I don't think there's an alternative to X today
that kind of matches the form factor that crypto wants, right? Like crypto is a financial high
speed technology and we really want like information velocity, which is really like
the text only medium. And so with, with Farcaster,
you know, not going to eat X's lunch anytime soon. I think we're going to be here for the
foreseeable future. I think we'll see projects do a lot more social fight type stuff on TikTok
and Instagram. We're actually already supporting that, that type of logic on those platforms.
I know Kaido's talked about trying to do something similar there with their studio product.
But I think back to like, hey, projects need to tap into broader audiences.
The social phy mechanic was proven to drive growth.
And I actually think it can be even more effective if it's not in an echo chamber where this content is reaching, you know, real users that are not just seeing the same slop 30 other times in their feed.
So I'm excited to see kind of more experimentation of brands outside of X, but I don't think like crypto Twitter moves anywhere.
crypto Twitter moves anywhere.
Yeah, it's very specific and it's very hard to build new platform
and bring users there. We've seen that and it's always
a ghost town after some time. Unless you have some token drop
that people farm. I see another incredible
ape, Web3 Gatsby here. Another Aqua is elite.
And guys, don't forget to retweet the space
because Sivu is giving away three yachts.
We're going to bring him here on stage in the second part of the show
and we're going to talk about it if he wants to.
They build an incredible game.
And so what would you recommend to projects, man?
If they want to reach new audiences outside
of Web3, maybe? What's the best way to approach it? What's the alpha?
I mean, like, there's no alpha other than hard work, but you see, I mean, Pudgies, Chimpers,
I don't know the full list of, I guess, Klanosaurs, right?
Like there's maybe like five or so NFT projects that have massive Giphy, TikTok, Instagram
So it's super achievable.
And sure, you know, points or tokens, et cetera, could help accelerate that.
I think that's a largely untested category,
but the only two answers are, you know, do the hard work and develop the IP as a, you
know, non-Web3 brand on those platforms. Those brands that have grown don't talk about the
fact that they are NFT communities on those platforms and slash or, you know, build products that tap
into, you know, broader communities.
Like the other side would be the best example of that, not a social strategy, but actually
building a product that could onboard millions of users itself.
So, you know, I think those really are the only two strategies.
And I think, you know, unfortunately, like, yeah, Good Vibes Tribe is maybe an example
of a more recent project that seems to have, I don't know what their strategy is, but it
seems like they're going to do something here.
It's not like there won't be new entrants, but I think of, you know, kind of the OG projects, there's probably like 10 to 20 that really have the remaining juice as teams to build social strategies and or real products, trading card games, collectibles, etc.
And we're excited to be partnering with, I think, a lot of those 10 to 20 at this point and hopefully helping them, you know, find go to markets that find big audiences.
Mark, I'm really go ahead.
I mean, like this, like Web3 is like an IP incubator.
You know what I'm saying? Like, are you guys looking to like, try to find any gems in the rough to maybe like put out there to gain traction or anything like that? Or are you trying to focus more on the established brands and stuff like that?
our product is really driven towards letting projects implement their own custom growth
strategies. And we work with some smaller projects who are using our tools to do that.
I'm struggling to think of any like great recent examples, to be completely honest,
but we have price points at like $250 a month
and definitely are trying to help folks grow early on
I guess just like due to the laws of business,
and as a SaaS business, we are trying to,
I'm trying to spend my time on larger accounts
that can pay us much more than $250 a month
would not be sustaining ourselves if that was our primary price point.
I do think you know for the good vibes tribe example just because there's maybe 10 to 20
of the OG projects that are still kind of staffed and capitalized to succeed.
That doesn't mean that old IPs, Moonbirds, Pudgies, etc. can't be rebought by new teams
who can help them succeed by putting in capital, time, energy, etc. or that new IPs can't pop
But ultimately, you need creative, motivated teams to go solve hard problems to reach scale.
I also brought another incredible, incredible guest here on stage.
We are celebrating episode 441 in four years, but this MF-er,
he's on episode almost 3 million. Squiddy, welcome here. How are you doing, man?
I'm thrilled to be here. We're back on The Grateful Show. I feel like it's been a little bit
excited to be part of the conversation and remind people to bookmark the space.
Excited to be part of the conversation and remind people to bookmark the space.
There's only five bookmarks here.
Let's add to your bookmark list that you're never going to listen to again.
But since it's the Grateful Show and an awesome topic, maybe you will.
Let's get the algo continuing to pump from a man here.
Crypto, Crypto Zach, nice to meet you.
What's up everybody man tuesdays thursdays the grateful
show with tino and grateful and the squad what's going on everybody thank you for the lovely words
grateful i always appreciate that and just here to hang out just here to hang out
bro i can tell that you're driving Huracan.
The sound inside is crazy, bro.
I can relate. Same with mine.
I mean, the Lamborghini Huracan?
Turn off the air conditioning.
No, no, no. It's the engine, bro.
You cannot do anything in Lambo, bro.
Also dealing with that problem,
but we're not going to talk about it here on Spaces, you know.
Squiddy, how are you doing?
Do you have any questions for Zach or about what he's been cooking?
No, I'm just locked into the conversation.
Just joined here, catching up, just came up to support.
Listen, I always love to request and come up on stage and hang out with the squad.
So that's what we are here to do.
If one pops up, I'm going to ask it.
Zach, maybe one more question, and that's about the near future.
If you can share, do you have any announcements in the pipeline
Do you have anything that you would love to share?
Yeah, I mean, I guess the two main things I'm focused on
are I talked about stable coins and kind of doing some go-to-market
with stable coins and loyalty this year.
But then the big thing we're super excited about is prediction markets. And to me,
you know, stables and predictions are the two kind of like fundamental things happening in
consumer crypto right now. And in predictions, my thesis is that the majority of predictions
will be placed on leading consumer interfaces that already exist today.
More than half of Kalshi's volume is happening through Coinbase and Robinhood, so it's already
And so we want to go build a prediction markets product and build it as an aggregator that can offer all of the best kind of predictions,
odds, et cetera, through leading consumer interfaces and making it really easy for
traditional brands, crypto apps, DeFi super apps, et cetera, to offer predictions to their users
as part of that native application. So we're going to be spending a lot of our time there,
have already put a meaningful portion of engineering on that build.
And just super excited to be getting back to founder mode
on something as we go into this bear market.
something as we go into this bear market,
It's the best time to build.
Are we going to bear market?
That's also my favorite quote from the,
This one was from Wedding Crashers
he switched from going for weddings
he started going to funerals
and he found out it's much easier to get girls there
than on weddings so guys maybe some alpha
for you I don't know and this scene
damn it Roger was about it
what an idiot what a loser
hey honey I'm flying here
and then he crashed and died you know flying the i
don't know what was that rogalo or some shit like that squid you want to add anything what an idiot
good good more for me and you yes
absolutely loved it uh and it seems that we will be able to have a movie night in
in other side which is absolutely great can't wait for that
zach is there anything that we forgot to ask you or you would love to add in other side, which is absolutely great. Can't wait for that.
Zach, is there anything that we forgot to ask you or you would love to add?
I'm really happy, man, that you're building
sustainable business, that it works.
Maybe if people want to get more info
or want to be more involved with you,
what's the best way to get in touch with you?
Yeah, I mean, my DMs are always open
if you want to chat personally.
We have the at snag underscore solutions account
It doesn't look like we were ever able to pull them out,
but, you know, hit them on DMs as well.
I'm sure we have our BD guy Nick on there,
and he's always quick to respond.
And yeah, just excited to stay in touch on socials.
But thanks again for having me back here, guys.
Huge congrats again on year four.
That is a huge milestone,
and looking forward to getting back on here
in a couple of years for year six.
This is always the best to see people.
They keep going through the years and figuring out the way how to make it and never giving up.
That's the inspiration, right?
Whether you're a builder, whether you are a space host, whatever you do here, it's always great to see.
whether you are space host
whatever you do here it's always great to see
Squiddy almost 3 million episodes
for how long he's been going
so it's absolutely wild and yeah man
thank you so much for joining us
I'm probably going to do Blockchain Summit Week or whatever it is in New York in about a month.
I really just don't have my travel ironed out, though. We'll definitely be doing Token 2049 in Singapore.
That's always a must. But yeah, let me know if you've got anything that I need to make it out for.
Let's go. Man, going through all the episodes that we've done, damn, we had such a great time
during NFT Paris and that's gone, guys. Holy smoke! That escalated quickly. But I know Dr. Dave Cohen,
he was so sad that he bought a flight ticket,
He went to some random pub
and tried to convince everyone to buy NFTs.
I don't know how it went.
We can ask him, but he did that.
Zach, thank you so much for joining us.
Give CryptoZach a follow.
And now we're going to move into celebration of four years of Grateful Show.
So again, man, thank you so much for joining us.
And see you on the other side, man, thank you so much for joining us. It was great, as always. And see you on the other side, man.
Have you ever been to the other side?
Don't hang out there often enough,
but yes, we'll see you there.
And let me add the celebration
into the title of the space. Let me also say hi.
Oh, I see Laura down there. Oh wait, when you're when you're adding it you need to be singing, you know?
You need to be singing it. You what? Me? Singing? Well, while you're adding it to the title.
Okay, okay. Give me a second before jaws all on the floor like panic time he just burst on the door started whooping her ass first and before they first divorce someone over furniture
it's the return of the oh wait no way you're kidding he didn't just let's go
guys it's crazy but bro you worked you worked on your accent so much man oh my
god yeah that is amazing yeah that was actually real me but you will never know
guys it's crazy what a wild journey it's been four
years since we started the show let's fucking go
and silence bro what's going on with 45 i wanted to play another song but it didn't work
but i see gatsby another aquamarine legend here on stage. Gatsby, welcome here.
How is it going for you, bro?
Happy to see Tino back here, bro.
Congrats on the little one.
And hope you had good parental leave at your 85 years old, bro, or 120.
I don't know at this point.
With every decade, it gets harder and harder, you know, waking up at night and everything.
Yeah, it's been a while since I actually opened X.
I try to open Twitter every day.
But, you know, at least I have grateful ape to shoot me some news and what's happening in the space.
But I try to be present IRL as much as I could.
So, yeah, it's been pretty intensive, to be very honest.
But good to hear you, bro.
Thank you for coming, for stopping by.
We've been making sure to diss you every single space.
Especially grateful, you know?
I know, man man i've been
listening to the recordings and i'm like it's the worst thing is that you cannot react to that not
even you know the reactions and i'm laughing i'm like what's those fucking assholes no seriously
it's and i i you know always uh grateful whenever i miss the show that he came out with something really stupid as an excuse where I am.
So if any of my children or whoever is ever going to listen back to the show
or has any kind of agents listening back to the show,
it's going to be my personality is totally fucked up, man.
And it's already happening.
I was going through all the
episodes that we've done because I tried to finish my database. I was pretty bad in 2025. So I had to
manually add, you know, like, I don't know, 300 guests. I tried AI, but it failed me. So I went
one by one. And it was very interesting exercise for me. Like 10 months ago, we are talking about AI and
we are like, in a few years, it's going to be very interesting. Oh my God, in nine months,
it's absolutely out of hand right now. It's insane. So the progress and everything, absolutely crazy.
And it's unbelievable that we had 866 people here on stage through those four years, which is a lot of people. Like if you put all those people into one room, it's a huge audience. And it's only people on stage, right? I don't have a tool how to count people that tuned in, but it's an incredible journey. And I think we talk a lot about monetization and everything.
Having sponsors and et cetera, et cetera.
But another thing is, you know, not everything has to be monetized or the idea why we started it, right?
Maybe that's the good point. We started it to hang out with other excited people in Web3, to learn from each other to do some crazy stuff to meet irl
and it worked flawlessly i met most of you i met through spaces you know and then we met irl uh i
see other here we send a we sent an ape ape can rock to other so we rocked other uh i talk about
the other game team you know nash with nash we traveled to Berlin. We had a other side game demo there.
Enzo on Showbiz, of course, Dr. DaveCoin, we met everywhere. Enzo Hoarder, Ape Whale, Sivo.
Sivo joined us and visited us here in Prague. Laura was here!
The Silent Assassin, Sivo! Dr. DaveCoin, Ape Whale, coin abel hoarder bro so many legends here we're like laura grateful can we give away
a fist or two i didn't realize today was the four year anniversary i'm sure you got some giveaways
out there but i'd love to go bro you are the goat you two are the goats again this is my favorite space on x you are the most kind humble grateful giving people
out there and i'm just very grateful to be to be part of this to be part of the journey here
and you guys are the best keep doing what you're doing uh you two are both a true beacon to the
space and just very grateful that we are we're connected and that we're homies
and that we've got like cousin spaces and everything too so it's just congratulations
on four years like that is big time you are the ogs in terms of spaces and what it means to build
a true community on here so i i'm sure i speak for others as well when i say thank you for giving us
you know what you've been doing each and every week over these past four years.
The consistency, it's just absolutely amazing.
And I'm forever grateful to have just been a listener and to have been an occasional co-host and to be up and hanging out too.
It just, it really means the world from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much squidy absolutely love our friday spaces about basketball oh my god so dope and you've been also consistent as fuck it's crazy man you you you are killing it oh my
god you are killing it like three million episodes guys it's not about. It's not about me. It's not about me. This is the 40th anniversary of The Grateful Show right here, man.
So, guys, retweet the space.
Maybe you get a fisting on the yacht.
Yeah, that's how Gatsby like it okay i know i know uh who else
we have here who else we have here i mentioned hoarder jesus bro fisting fisting double fisting
for grateful let's go let's go law of the soul bro eight whale the legend man it's always tricky
because you know i i have to scroll down to see everyone.
Damn, look at Diego and that beautiful Meebit.
Now, you only see the Aquas, you know, so that's why I have to step in.
Oh, Lily, she's been here basically since day one.
For Bay, fix the pause, MF first, let's fucking go, love it.
Anthony B, he's been regular.
Oh, and we have Fertle, an incredible fister down there. Oh my God, L's been regular. What else we have? Oh, and we have Ferdl. I mean, incredible Fister down there.
You know, that MFR is crazy, man.
That MFR, he can dunk from a free throw line.
We also have Orange MFRs Riza
I think we forgot someone
hey they named everyone except me.
Sorry if we did, but we love you all.
This is Quilliam Chimper, you know.
But what a crazy journey, guys.
Also, we talked about it that not everyone and everything made it,
but I think in four or five years, it's normal, right?
If you look at normal businesses, it's very similar there.
Oh, shit, I just see the Grateful Show number 75
with Laura Roth, the Miami Ape.
It was November 22nd, 2022.
That's absolutely crazy I think it was
we've done so many IRL events
we also recorded everything so we usually
and a wrap up after the IRL
unfortunately we haven't done
because there's not that many as it used to be, right?
We went to, what was that one in Lisbon, Tino?
So we did NFC Lisbon, NFT Paris, NFT NYC, oh my God, 2022.
Of course, 2021 was probably even better, but 2022 with
ApeFest, that was legendary.
Oh my god, everyone had so much money.
I mean, the projects, like they hired Madonna, they hired Pushati, oh my god, it was wild.
But I think we progressed a lot.
Some people left, but new people actually came to the space.
And I think we will have very interesting 2026.
Because probably entered bear market.
But other side, man, that announcement,
I think it was yesterday, that's really dope.
And I want to be one of the people who will try that.
Squiddy, did you hear about it?
opening up the vibe coding world to the public this week
will be giving out the MML role
so more people can place vibecoded objects.
Yeah, I saw that. It's very interesting.
Very interesting, you know.
There's always a bunch of politics at play going on there too.
There's going to be people that are asked and you're going to see people in the timeline.
Oh, I wasn't asked. I wasn't, you know, all that stuff.
But I'm definitely excited to see how
that plays out and yeah it seems pretty cool because that's definitely something i'm interested
in um you know as like a novice when it comes to the vibe coding and you know we've got the land
we've got the community the project the avatar in there when it comes to the fisters so definitely
something that is on the radar.
And I think it's a really cool initiative.
Yeah, vibe coding will be huge
for metaverses. Man, I started playing
well, and that's the addiction.
Man, it's absolutely wild.
I'm so happy that I have it on my second computer,
so it's not like, you know, I need to do something to bring the computer, etc.,
so it's not that easy to play, but bro, the mechanics and everything is absolutely nuts.
And it will get you, and I can imagine people playing just Fortnite and not doing anything else.
So we need something like that for the other side so people want to stay there and not
I know Makavelli, Honeybee, they already been doing that, but we need to bring more and
Another interesting news was Adam Weitzman.
I really want to support a collection today since it's Sunday,
but it's time I'm asking the entire X community to give me some suggestions.
And that tweet, you know, it's a longer tweet, but it had over 900,000 views.
Squiddy, did you send Fister to Adam?
I need to get him my NFTft i think i sent him one
i'm gonna send him one too fisters don't have one of ones you know that's obviously by design
because you know my my thought process like we're all one right no one is more special than the
other i specifically didn't want to have one of ones so and i'm not gonna beg anyone i'm not gonna
beg anyone to you know you know get into the project but definitely i think i sent him one
if not i gotta make sure i send him one again i know as well it's crazy right now and everyone's
like vying for his attention it's great that he's trying to single-handedly like
pop up these these projects so I do love the initiative.
But no, I did not reply to that comment
because listen, I'm not gonna beg.
I don't know if you wanna actually hear it.
I checked the Bitcoin and ETH price,
holy shit, on 24th of February, 2022.
So on the day when we started and hosted the show,
We can check and see how we're doing today
So exactly four years ago,
Bitcoin was almost 38,000.
Let's say between 37,800 to 38,900. So we're doing better. We're doing better. Ethereum.
Oh my God. Oh my God. That's a painful story. Eats was 2,700 four years ago. Today it's 1,000 less, almost. Yeah. $900 or less. It's 1,850. Solana was 160 in February 2022. I don't even know how much is it today, but we don't have to check everything right we definitely not gonna check apecoin because i don't think apecoin was around back in or was it i'm not 100 sure but i don't think so i think it was dropped like march april but it's really really wild to go through all those. I've been preparing also video for other
side and going through those first and second trips when actually there were like 7,500 people
during the second trip, I think. It was absolute madness. Like everyone was so engaged. It's really
wild. It's really wild. Did you guys see Luca actually talking about
that he's not thinking about runway?
Because if he doesn't deliver in six months,
it doesn't matter anyway.
What do you think about it?
Maybe Squiddy, what do you think about it?
But man, put me on the spot here.
I don't know you know I always wish all these projects the best of luck because we all love NFTs and even if I'm not involved you know
I have a little pudgy and I used to work on on pudgy party but it's we want everyone to succeed
and I'm not sure what in his mind delivering means right so
what is delivering in six months i have no clue and there's so many different ways to to chart that
and to judge that and whatnot is it token is it you know nft floor price go up i don't know what
the pudgy penguins deem is delivering right or like what can quantify as a yes or no in the next
six months when there's so many different factors at play. There's so many different ways to
interpret success and so many different ways to interpret like, okay, what are the goals and
what's going on there? So maybe he posted about what his goals are and then he's going to go out
and try and set them and deliver that but
i'm not sure exactly what that is i like putting that pressure on himself but also like what
happens if he doesn't deliver that is it just done and and penguins i don't think that's the case
so it's uh it's gonna be interesting it's gonna be interesting to see obviously we'll be following
and rooting for everyone who's building in the space to uh to win especially if they're trying to do it the right way
and they've got a lot of people behind them who are supporting them and who are i don't want to
say depending on them but like you know rooting for them and because they have financial reasons
to do so right so time will tell and it's really a fascinating infliction
point right now because if people are collecting and they're holding these
these NFTs and these communities there's still a lot that falls onto the
community right we look at the board apes this is based off of the community
of so many incredible people who love collecting and being part of this
community and building shit on their own, whether it's, you know, yourself building spaces or whether it's community members building different products and having a support each other or doing things on Ape Chain.
There's just so many different ways to kind of like to see that.
And I don't think that there's like an end game when it comes to, OK, we accomplish this goals.
We I did what I had to do in six months and then now what right because like tomorrow is still going to exist
and then the day after that is still going to exist so that's quite the loaded question
and yeah i mean i'm gonna have to go and check that out and see if they listed okay we have this
goal and we want to accomplish it in six months and nothing else matters besides runway because
that just doesn't, it just seems
like there's a lot more things at play than
Well said, bro. Well said.
I'm just going through the episodes
and we hosted Azurbala, bro.
And we all know that there's
That was one of the greatest things ever, was that art reveal.
That's one of the greatest moments in the space.
I was the only one who loved that.
Grateful was making fun of me because some of the characters looked like me.
I still have mine. Never sold, you know. Always buying, never selling.
I have so many. Machiavelli, welcome back. I saw your hand. Go ahead, bro.
Yo, by the way, happy four-year anniversary. I came up here in the middle of the last interview,
so sorry about that. But you know, you guys, we really are grateful and you really are a staple in the space and consistency.
I'm glad you're a part of my reality, man.
Shout out to The Grateful Show.
But really, I'm not going to lie.
What really piqued my ears was where can I find this source material of him saying that in six months? It's not gonna matter if he doesn't deliver
It was that it was a shocking to me. I feel like
It was it was about runway, you know
So he was like that he doesn't dwell too much on the runway because if he doesn't deliver let me find it
Maybe I interpret it wrong, but I don't think so If he doesn't deliver like in the next six months every time
He's not worried about runway for the next few years. Yeah
If he's not meeting these goals, okay, let me find it
Because I'm like, yo, how much are penguins right now?
Are they like at the east?
I don't think that would hold up really well
if he announced it, he said something like that.
Luka explains why he doesn't believe in operating with long runway.
If we don't win in the next six months,
it won't matter that we will have three years runway
because these crypto MFs are ruthless
and they will kick you to the curb.
Which I think makes sense, right?
You need to act with urgency,
especially in this space,
because you don't want to lose...
I would say it's very thin ice here,
but you don't want to lose your OGs, right?
Because the community is still so important in Web3.
You see all those spaces.
You see Gaming Game Show.
You see Sivu and his yachts.
You see Uncle Mac in the mines and so on. Diablito in the farm.
Honeybee in Bangkok, you know. Bangkok's got him. For sure. I saw the photo, man. They got him.
They got him. So let me ask you a question. Let me turn this around real quick. Let the guest interview the interviewer. Where do you plan to see yourself in the next four years?
Bro, I'm really betting a lot on the other side
and to having some dope experiences there.
That's why when I said it, I started playing Fortnite.
One thing is like seeing the game, right?
The other thing is like, how do you feel in the game?
And sometimes I go from Fortnite to other side
And of course, like Fortnite has been around for like over a decade, right?
It's, you can compare it right now.
And it's, I think it's different.
Also the goal of the game is different, but the feel is interesting, right?
And I believe that other side has something special that you really can build your own
There are going to be those AI bots that we already see there right now. I know Uncle
Mike has one too. So I'm betting a lot on the other side and building something there
and bringing the social audience. Like spaces have something that nothing has on Twitter
and that's the emotions, right? Like the real emotions.
chatGPD, Claude, whatever
or whatever you want to write. It's so easy.
is very, very important when you're coming
across any kind of platform and you do
I think it's an incredible platform for that. I think
as I mentioned before, one of the goals
why we started that was to be in touch with
other people from all over the world, right?
To share our passion, to learn from each other,
actually hang out here, hang out IRL,
when we started these spaces, right?
we have other things where we can hang out.
That was not possible before.
So I really hope we're gonna...
Damn, Nikita, please don't ban me.
But I think Twitter's fucked right now.
That's what I think. You know, it's not please don't ban me. But I think Twitter's fucked right now. That's what I think.
You know, it's not the best place to be.
And my mindset here is to push through that.
But if you think about it, if you log into Twitter
and you don't curate as crazy,
you don't feel great after being here.
And it's quite opposite going to the other side,
for example, for other games. I never had any negative feeling being there. I felt great. I had fun. I was running
around, screaming, talking to other dgens, winning, winning and winning, you know, so
it's completely different environment. And I would love to do something with that there.
So people have fun, can learn, can learn, maybe can make money also.
I think it's going to be possible.
So that's how I think about it.
It's very tough to think four years in the future
because with AI, I don't think we can predict
what's going to be here in six months
because I'm telling you, I listened to,
I think it was episode like 350 something,
and we were talking about AI. Like in a few years, it's going to be crazy,
but it's already crazy right now.
It's out of hand totally.
So I cannot imagine what's going to happen in a year.
Yo, four years, we hit the singularity.
You know what I'm saying?
AI has given birth to AI by that point.
Bro, not even singularity.
By then we're going gonna have quantum computing which
is gonna basically destroy everything ai everything blockchain every encryption absolutely
everything you know listen and i and i and i hear that but i i think it's just a fear tactic because
listen quantum computing already exists it just doesn't exist in the efficiency that it needs to
and i don't think that they're gonna allow that to just
kind of like you know twopple everything else like especially the infrastructure that's been
built and all that because essentially with quantum computing you do it breaks block it
breaks down everything it can break into blockchain wallets it can do all of those things uh quote
unquote you know um but i don't like the fear tactic that is utilized.
It's like a lot of the narrative that I hear around quantum computing is like that it's a threat to this industry and stuff like that.
And that's really the point that you just came from as soon as you mentioned it.
Like it's going to destroy all of this stuff.
I think that they would find a way to like utilize the tech in an appropriate manner rather than just send the world into chaos with it.
I know because I know that it is powerful.
It is it is it's supposed to be the most powerful ever.
It's nowhere near efficiency.
I mean, that's why Ethereum, Vitalik and even, you know, Bitcoin, they're all working on quantum proof solutions to ensure that quantum, even if it comes, can't break the
encryptions that we have with cryptocurrencies or whatever, right? Even like banks would also be
like, it would be the entire world, right? So obviously, it is going to come. It's kind of
like, it's not so much a threat. It's more like the reality that's happening with AI right now.
Like people said, it's gonna come, it's gonna come. It's gonna come for sure,
you know, and please don't come. Please don't come. But, but, you know, qubits, bro, on quantum
computing, and resolving the issues that are happening is happening at lightning speed. AI
is even helping improve that as well. So I mean, there are going to be tactics for, you know, quantum proof and stuff like that.
But eventually it will come.
So what it does, like AI has done right now, because AI has been around for a while.
It's been for several years. But this year has been the one where we kind of actually threatened the entire market.
And we're starting to see effects on the workforce, on new job creation, on what your roles are going to mean when you come into a company.
Like four years ago in a big four, we'd be doing presentations and we'd be doing Excel and all that crap.
You're not going to do any of that shit anymore. And that's today. Right.
And that's been like just two years have passed from that point we were in not too long ago.
So it will come. The thing is, how are we going to protect?
Well, you know, all the big protocols are already preparing for it.
So I don't think it's so much a threat or something that's unrealistic.
I think it's going to happen.
I mean, every year, you know, the qubit count for quantum computers is getting higher.
As soon as we get to 80,000 qubits of processing power and being able
to have that sustainably and stuff, that's going to be wild. And not just that, but other technologies
that are coming, like fusion and stuff like that, sustainable nuclear fusion and stuff like that.
So I don't know, man. It's an it's evolving market. We're all going to adapt.
We try to protect ourselves as much as we can.
How do we position ourselves to be the next wave of financially prosperous individuals leading into this quantum fusion situation?
Because, I mean, listen, we know that that's what happens every time.
Right. When there's a shift in industry, there's a shift in tech.
All of these things happen
and essentially you get that next new class
And I just think now that we see it coming,
we should be able to position ourselves accordingly.
Like you would have to get into quantum fully,
But quantum was here in 2021, bro.
Basically, there was a quantum computer that could hack your wallet.
I remember Quantum Leap 1989, Quantum Leap, the best mother-evin show in the world.
Y'all don't remember Quantum Leap?
But do you know how that worked in 2021?
Bro, it was a quantum computer that could basically encrypt your wallet.
And you just sent a DM on Twitter or Instagram and was like hey I will animate your ape
click on this link and basically that's how they use quantum computing to you know
encrypt the wallet so it worked quite well back in the day it's still working today it's not all
bad though like if you think about it it means there's not going to be any illnesses anymore
if they want to release it that's the thing right the big powers that do have it which the main ones are google what do you mean there's
not going to be any illnesses anymore bro like you're going to be able to cure anything bro a
quantum computer gives you solutions to anything right so if you're trying to look for a solution
on uh solving you're telling me a quantum computer is gonna make me skinny no it's not gonna make
you skinny but it's gonna give you the formula of the fastest way for you to get skinny.
Or if you have cancer, you will be able to find the formula of medicines you need to take to actually cure cancer.
I never really thought about that, to be honest with you.
Bro, you can do that with AI right now.
You can't find the cure for cancer with AI right now.
You know, it doesn't have holy shit guys
I mean it would be nice, but it's not real, you know, like that mean, you know, you need a I called
If I could get some AI ozempic right now that but see I listen I you know
You know, I've never done any pills or any of that kind of stuff to like,
I've never done any any any pills or any of that kind of stuff to like
only way I've ever really, you know, lost weight sustainably was to like, you know,
actually exercise and eat properly.
But it's just, it's very fascinating for him to say that, you know, with quantum computing,
we can cure every disease and stuff like that because I never looked at it from that perspective.
And when you go back to episode 441 years down the future you'll be like oh wow these mfers were on to something right here
talking about how quantum computing is about to change the world
i mean yeah the thing is if they release it for the public and if they allow it you know there's
probably many things that could be cured already and they're not out because it makes more money not putting it out.
So I think the same will apply, right?
And they'll restrict it so that banks don't get hacked completely and find themselves fully vulnerable.
And same with Bitcoin and same with everything.
So, yes, the politics side of it.
But it's going to be an exciting future with challenges, of course. But, but it's going to be exciting future with challenges,
of course, but I think it's going to be
wanted to ask Sivo about a
giveaway, but he probably had to step
down. He also DMed me that
the only pill that he's taking
ape fur. I don't know what that means.
I don't know, but okay. Thank you knows i don't know but okay thank you i
i shared it you know as you wanted um i saw honeybee's hand and then uncle max so honeybee
welcome here legend from bangkok you are a head mfer now has there has to be like what what's the
time right now like 2 a.m 3 a.m or i don't know man yeah it's like 1 30 a.m., 3 a.m., or I don't know, man. Yeah, it's like 1.30 a.m. But I came up because –
It was Machiavelli's, like, question of how do you take advantage now?
Like, how do you position yourself to, like, make money?
I mean, that's the question everyone wants, right?
Like, what are you doing?
And I think a lot of it for right now, they're the stat, right,
that came out that if you're here right now listening to this if we're
talking about this you are in the one percent of the one percent club if you pay for ai at any
point if you know about it if you talk about you are in the one percent club of the one percent
club that understand that uses ai to leverage your workflow you're already going to make it
tail dr because you're way ahead of the rest of the curve all you have to do is go to the other understand that uses AI to leverage your workflow. You're already going to make it, tail DR,
because you're way ahead of the rest of the curve.
All you have to do is go to the other people who have no fucking clue
and be like, hey, I know how to do this.
I know more shit about it than you do.
And then you build a brand around it,
or you build a service or a product for these people
and just sell it to them.
And that's how you position yourself because you're dead ass early, right?
Like that's welcome to capitalism 101. It's're deadass early. Welcome to Capitalism 101.
But bro, we're not dead crazy as you, man.
It was incredible, Machiavelli.
And he was like, man, I shipped 69 apps.
went for five ping pong tournaments.
Some weren't exactly girls, 100%. They were like 50% girls, but it's still good.
And bro, he's been killing it, Honeybee.
Hey, Gatsby, how do you know what I'm talking about, man?
You're too young for that shit.
Bro, bro, I don't know, man. You're showing me all this stuff, man.
I'm 12 and you're just, you know, ruining my childhood, bro.
But Honeybee, I'd love to see that you've been killing it.
How is your open call doing man, is it still going?
Oh, yeah, I have a whole orchestra brother. I have a fucking ridiculous orchestra
We're like five main conductors five different orchestras right now. I have him working on the MML stuff
For the other side. I'm fucking around around
I may have made a bunch of stuff. That's way bigger than the world
So I have to like downscale it because I was like okay make me a bunch of and I have it all hooked up
where I just have to prompt it I'm like okay make me a Mr. Beast style like stadium coliseum that
has trap doors and changing tiles and like all this crazy shit and I like prompt it and then
it was like bigger than the world and I was like all right chill out bro that's insane man
that's something that we I'm not sure that we predicted it here because when we were talking
about the other side here back in the day after the launch we didn't talk much about AI and we
talk about that we're gonna hire people to build stuff for us, right? We are like, hey, I'm going to hire a company
and they will build an environment for me.
But these days it shows that you will be able to do a lot of stuff
if you can be 100% retarded.
If you're 100% retarded, you're not going to do that by yourself.
But if you are at least like 50% or 60%,
I think you can make it happen, right?
And I think it's going to be exciting
because you can deliver, you can ship quickly
and that's why you can experiment with so many things
and 100% some people will find insane use case
that we never thought about, you know,
I don't know what it's going to be.
What you call retarded, bro, I think is just not reading, man, because literally, I mean, when people I've heard people like, oh, there's this like terminal thing I got to open and put this, you know, like code and shit.
And it's like, bro, you're just copy pasting, like literally follow the steps, open terminal, copy paste and put it in the terminal.
I truly believe in that shit. Like, like respectfully. I'm like, there are some people that can do it. Some people that can't. I'm like, brother,
can I'm with you? I'm like, brother, just copy paste. I don't read anything.
I don't read. I just feed my bot. I like read this shit for me. Execute that motherfucker.
I just spit ideas at him and he's like, all right, cool. But like their brain just fries they're like over complicated and i'm like i don't
know it's delicious i want another serious note uh so grateful how does your ai agent call you
and how do you call it he calls me daddy why did I know you were gonna say that
I was like hey update yourself
and he was like just did that daddy
and I was like oh now we talking
so how do you call him or her
shit it should be her right right? That's weird.
Damn, that's really bad right now.
Which doesn't sound that great.
I just wanted to say congratulations to a pilot in the night gliders
the trainers mint went really really well and
Within five minutes it had minted out. So shout out to
you know, man, I was I was a co-hosting a space with
Show biz and cool chick so I completely I went to go check it was already gone. I was like
I went to go check and it was already gone. I was like, no!
I was like, I didn't even get a chance.
No, but shout out to everybody who got theirs.
Bro, I also did a mint because I was on the way from the gym
and I didn't expect that he's going to mint out in like five minutes.
So I was chilling, you know, driving.
Bro, how did you not expect that, Grateful, man?
It was wild. Have you seen the lights?
I thought it's GTD, bro. I didn't read.
So I was like, okay, I'm cool, man.
I will flex it on my timeline.
I'll be like, hey, if you didn't have a night glider, you could have mint, right?
He was like, holy shit, my agent minted for me.
If you don't have an agent, you are a second class citizen. And I was like, holy shit, that my agent minted for me if you don't have an agent you are second-class citizen and I was like holy shit that's me probably right now and
yeah it felt bad but big shout out to Pilot he did it
you might be right Gatsby like he didn't read you have to have the basic skill of
at least reading like the first three words of something brother like come on i sent it to uh to my little ai agent but i i gave him
the first dm i sent him i was like i was like mimic my iq mimic my iq and uh that was a mistake
that was like be like me be like me be like me and he was like oh shit it's not even reading at
this point it's like laziness it's like shit, I gotta go like to do three steps.
Nah, nah, this is too much.
I sent him like 10 steps how to do something and he's faking.
He didn't read it and he just came up with some random shit, you know.
But because he read about how to set up a bot that reads it for him.
You know, so you could do the same thing and say,
And it will do it for you.
I'm probably this inside here and this here.
but like genuinely like big ass article,
if any of this uses are useful to you or me,
you know, our life mission and goals, you know, I'm trying to make money, figure it out. And he's yeah if any of this uses are useful to you or me you let me know you know like you know our life mission and goals you know i'm trying to make money figure it out and he's
like yeah this is useless i mean bro to be honest i think the biggest alpha is actually reading the
shit like when i'm vibe coding and shit the the difference between having something work or not
is actually reading through it and making sure bro no no no, no, man, you gotta read it.
I'm like, I should screenshot it and I didn't back to it.
And I'm like, I'm like, bitch, what does this mean?
I don't know what this means.
Now the important question I need to ask my bot,
MFR in Bangkok, which is six hours ahead of me
or MFR in Spain, chilling and drinking sangria.
You know, that's very tough.
We'll see, guys. I will send it to my bot and he'll decide for you.
But damn, Honeybee, he's been crazy, man.
Gatsby, you need to probably, I don't know, you need to send me something to see.
Because Honeybee has been sending me crazy shit from Bangkok.
What do you want to see, bro? Should I send you
claw bot so it gives you automatic
hi to Uncle Mac. I saw his hand up
welcome here. Also one of the legends and OGs here.
So Uncle Mac, welcome here.
GM, first of all, congrats on four years.
That's like, have we done like an equivalent?
That's a degree and a master's.
You've got a degree and a master's in NFTss well done you you're not getting a job anywhere though sorry
uh you should put on the end of your name grateful msc um what's good today i don't know
uh i was gonna put my hand up to reply to macaveli you know you're saying
where do we position ourselves for this thing uh And I couldn't help but picture like a tsunami.
I had to ask one question.
And two of the greatest minds in April came up to answer it.
Oh, my mind was pessimistic because, you know, you were saying, how do we get rich?
And I was picturing us all as like little surfer dudes floating on the ocean.
And there's like a giant wave. and we're just not prepared for it.
We're not catching that wave.
I genuinely, I can't remember who I was talking to about this,
but I was genuinely thinking that we're doing all this stuff
where we're figuring out how to make apps and daps and do things
and contracts and shit like that.
I think three months, six months,
definitely a year. I feel like even the concept of an app will be dead. We will all just have AI
agents that all just spin shit up and down for us as and when we need it. We won't need to make
a tax app or an NFT deployer app or an NFT generator. We'll just tell it what we want.
It's like, we've got some pictures, we want to do this,
and it will make it in, like, memory for us
and then just, like, delete it again afterwards.
We won't have home screens.
We'll just have the device and we will talk to it
and it will do the thing.
Like, that's generally where I see we're going.
And then the next step is not even a device we'll have the chip in the head from elon
so i can't wait for the chip in the head sorry honeybee no that's that's literally what you
remind me i'm like i i do think elon had a point with like neural link and everything because
that's that i feel that already, right?
Like I don't want to be writing at this motherfucker,
like trying to describe the vision or my concept.
Like I just want to have a fucking Neuralink,
like little thing on my side of my head.
It picks up all my brainwaves,
all my concepts I did and it just does it.
And I don't have to think about it.
we're going to get to that point, right?
Like people are going to get exhausted.
And like you said, it's going gonna accelerate really quickly where you know this
is like maybe a short period where people can make money but then eventually if everyone can do it
and everyone has this capability then no one has it right it's a play it's an evil evil even
playing field and elon said it himself he's like eventually everyone's just going to be rich but
if everyone's rich nobody's rich so it it's like that utopia, right?
Like that's the technological accelerationist philosophy of like technology is supposed to solve all this problem and get you to that end utopian goal of like we're all living life.
Like we'd have no problems, world peace.
Is that true? I don't know.
The other half of it is like we're all going to just be slaves and we're stuck to the AI gods who dictate what the fuck we do.
Bro, the brain ads are going to be ruthless.
Yeah, so my theory is basically AI is another species.
So basically, as we evolved from monkeys, we are now monkeys as well, looking at our PFPs, but you know what I'm trying to say.
And also, why would AI keep us alive?
If we were somehow trying to get rid of it or whatever, like it's, would you let the monkey alive if you
knew the evolution wouldn't continue, you know.
But what I wanted to say was regarding the IQ that Honeybee mentioned, it's very funny.
I heard this opinion that right now when you are like super smart and for example, if you
have an IQ difference of, don't know 10 or 20
it's a huge difference like 30 it's it's a huge huge difference of IQ right now
but imagine that that all of a sudden you have like 420 through some kind of
chip or whatever and then 420 and 400 or like 450 whatever, that's not a big difference anymore.
So if all the people are able and capable of basically anything, as you said, it's very hard to think of the future.
The craziest part is that everybody knows that the 30s, the next decade will be completely different as we imagine it.
But not even like any of the most brilliant minds of the world can tell you how exactly and what is it going to look like.
And I think this has never happened in the history of our past hundreds of years.
You couldn't say where are we heading and what's going to happen in 10 years. I you couldn't say, where are we heading
and what's going to happen in 10 years.
It's, I think that's just mind-blowing.
The most crazy thing is, look when we started this show, man,
and what was around, what you could do.
It was tough, probably do also like just transcribe the text,
Oh my God, look what we have now. Like in four years, it's gonna
be even more, it's gonna be insane. I cannot imagine self-driving cars, whatever. Guys,
I think there's one advice that everyone should follow for the AI age. And I have a clip here,
I will play it because I think it's, if you will follow this advice, you will make it.
Everybody knows you never go full retard.
Count two picks to your cards.
Yeah, Tom Hanks. Forrest Gump.
Slow, yes, retarded, maybe. Braces
on his legs, but he's trying to pay himself next to him.
He won a ping-pong competition?
That is shit. That was Honey B. He won a ping-pong
competition. I just saw him
That's crazy. So, guys, that's
I think the alpha here is
to keep trying new stuff right and i'm talking
about ai tools you're my first like not in uh in a hangover movie part two in bangkok
but makavali go ahead you know speaking of new stuff i had some fun the other day
on the timeline with uncle max big fat magic cats Because we minted on the timeline where you literally put the name your wallet address
What's it called on the I don't know what you did anyways
You just commented below the post and then essentially it sent it to your wallet
You put your wallet address the name of the cat all that now if you wanted to reveal the cat that you named, you had to pay $10.8.
So that was like the – you could even rename the cat for $5.8.
But I loved the experimentation.
I loved the new mechanic here that we played because we were literally in a space talking smack, just having fun.
Everybody's trying to, like like put the name of the
cat do all these things to get these mints and yo i hit 10 for 10 grateful i hit 10 for 10 all 10
names got all 10 cats i only revealed six though so far i love it i have to try it. Can I still try it? I don't think so.
We're all out of cats. Some cats have even died now.
What happens is, when you rename a cat, there's a 5-8 fee.
That goes to the pound. The pound buys cats from the floor.
It puts them back up for adoption.
And if nobody comes and adopts them,
And it doesn't just send it to the burn address.
like as a function in the contract.
So there are now three less cats than there were. So three people's cats are dead.
Wait, I thought you were genuinely talking about
These are real cats. These are our NFTs,
man. We love these things.
These are the bubbles of not reading,
That's not listening. That's not reading.
That's a different skill.
Super happy to have you here.
I thought I put my hand up
before Mac changed the subject again and we run out of time.
So I was like, yo, what's up?
We actually saw Mac last night doing karaoke.
He's like, he's done Machiavelli in like 35 years.
It looks like Santa Claus, by the way.
He was going against everybody in karaoke last night.
He was like, not, he was not having it, bro.
You can ask Marathon down there.
It's like, no, this guy was like out for a mission like anybody that went up against
him he's like fuck you i'm going up next again and again and again and again and again so but yo
what's going on happy four years uh shout out to everybody that uh pulled up last night i see a few
of those legends down there it was a great night to meet up with some of the apes so um but yeah
congrats to pilot for the mint out um as well and uh yeah ai is definitely you know like honeybee
said and a few others i think we are the one person of one percent and i said this last week
like we have the opportunity now where i think a lot of us have reach we have skill sets and we
have people that we know that don't and taking some of the things that we think
is simple, sometimes for granted
that might not be so simple for those in the
that you offer that service, right? Like I was
vibe coding a game the other day, my second game
and I'll be honest, if I put that in front of somebody that's an army
they're like, holy shit, you made this game
it must cost you like thousands of dollars
yeah it does bro, you want to pay me for a game
I'll make you one right now, grand so go go use those skill sets
100 man 100 because it was the same with crypto right i remember we knew how to set up gas manually
that was a thing to win actually the mint right right? We learned how to set up our wallets, hardware wallets and everything.
And Normies, my friends, they were like, holy shit, how did you do that?
How can I mint it? How can I buy it? No one used stuff, right?
It was so much harder than it is now.
And I think the same goes with AI.
And Makavele, why did you send me a voice message again, bro?
Like he always sending me a voice at the end.
That is how I know you go.
It's so Machiavelli, bro.
Art, welcome here, legend.
Happy four-year anniversary.
That's a big, big challenge, man.
And, man, you're talking about when you started and where we are today.
It's crazy. So kudos to you for keeping it going, man. I know that's hard. challenge man and as a man you're talking about when you started and where we are today is crazy
so kudos to you for keeping it going man i know that's hard it's hard to to do the documentation
after to to cut to edit to do all that stuff is hard to do um so kudos to you for keeping it going
for four years can't wait to see what another year does i hope to see you at apefest again
um but i i actually wanted to talk to the,
just to put in on the AI stuff
that you guys were talking about earlier.
we're just lucky because we have crypto rails, right?
Where there's really no regulations for us to try stuff
before it gets into the real world.
But if you see the way things are going, right?
Chad GPT giving this guy a billion dollars.
To me, all I see is you being able to do everything Claw does today
on ChatGPT in like six years.
Like people will probably be able to go there, subscribe,
be able to choose the amount of agents they want.
It will just be, you'll be able,
there'll be access to web 2
very quick so i mean i just came up here to tell people like you need to get on this like you need
to learn ai now um there's no time i remember when chat gpt came out it was during ordinal years um
ordinal years it was the it was december and i mean look at where we are today it's fast as fuck this is not like
the the the 2020 boom or what i 20 2000s era dot com era no this is way faster and um i mean it's
like just imagine chat gpt releasing enterprise grade agents like just imagine businesses are
now replacing us like that quick like man, man, you need to learn AI.
Like learn how to prompt this shit, do stuff with it.
There's a lot of tools that you could use.
Like learn how to do all this stuff before it's too late.
I think we're just lucky that we're in crypto early.
So we're able to do all this experiments on with unregulated stuff and that
and it makes it right now it looks like fun to us but we need to be serious we need to learn this
stuff take it serious because it's going to be in the hands of web 2 very very soon i'm like i'm i'm
thinking months like months one billion dollars was a very very great investment for how much
it's about to get back from humans from from companies from
everyone like it's going to be quick but now grateful didn't mean to scare people i was just
being just been thinking lately and just like why would this guy give him a billion dollars what's
to come with chat gpt and when you think about all those things from what we've been doing in crypto
from the very first time to now we've been looking for what's what's it called we've been looking for
fresh time to now we've been looking for what's what's it called we've been looking for adoption
adoption but we um the goal is that the real thing is that um they can't meet us here we have to meet
them where they are and that's why like you see the rise of blockchains like arc right doing the
usdc rails that's giving people a way to um do um being crypto based on what they know so you're going to start seeing
lending platforms a whole bunch of stuff on those kind of blockchains coming up um like chat gpt is
going to go crazy with his agents and it's all going to be like web 2 focused so i mean if we
want to blow web 3 up we need to meet them where we are so this is like our window to actually
build things that are like useful and good that we could put to Web2 before they get their hands on it.
And they just connect Stripe and do whatever they want.
But yeah, that was my little TED talk.
I just thought that I should come up and say something because I was listening to what everyone was saying.
And I mean, it's a real concern.
People need to take this seriously.
That's the message, 100%. i don't understand people ignoring that that makes no sense right
and it's not only about open call like you can use make.com or nan or what's the name of that
you can automate stuff you can research so there are steps to the game there are steps to the game of course
i want to have my ai agent that calls me daddy i think that's that's much better than some make.com but yeah hi go ahead mine calls me daddy too but that's weird because then we both have our agents
calls daddies um no but i think what ard said is very important you know when he said like
there are eventually going to be regulations.
There's going to be companies that adopt
and take this to a scale that, you know,
you pay a premium package for.
Like I said, we have a chance now.
This is like when they say you missed the boat on an NFT
or on a rip on a meme coin.
This is the chance you don't miss that rip.
As in like, take the advantage now and utilize it.
Like use that skillset for yourself personally, whatever. Or take that now and utilize it like use that skill set for yourself
personally whatever or take that tool and make it usable for somebody else that you again can
service like do it now do it early even though there's things that get adopted over time by
people those people still might stay with you because you're the ones that got them in you're
the ones who taught them you're the ones who gave them that efficiency in their work life like i say
do it now like honeybee what he's doing for himself is great.
But I think long-term, like he's got a plan or he's going to make money, you know, we'll,
we'll all eventually make money some way, somehow through this, if we decide to, you
But again, there's ones that just take that extra step to learn and, and use it to enhance.
And there's some people that will just use it just for the fun of it.
But I think the opportunities now in the window is very short you know like we weren't talking about
this like six weeks ago right look where we are now so i think in the next six months
things are gonna really evolve fast so
yeah i think it's it's valid point and man it's evolving so quickly like I don't know Open Claw
I think he released it in November
right but I think I caught it
now it's all over the place
everywhere everyone's talking even Tate talks
about Open Claw right it's nuts
So that's probably still a good sign for us.
I know that he moved to Thailand because the electricity is cheaper.
So he's running his Mac mini or Mac studio farm there.
He's turning Thailand into my land.
He's going to eventually take it over.
Not even to cut into you and say something real quick,
but based on what you said about IRL people,
for the past three weeks,
I've been talking about open claw in my house.
And my wife comes to me yesterday and is like,
oh, have you heard about this open claw stuff?
Like, that's literally how early we are.
Bro, that's because I told her.
They don't even know what they were doing and I'm telling her about it.
That's because I told her.
Yeah, I got something for you, Aqua Pink Ape.
Orange backgrounds don't get down like that.
Man, there's too much Aqua on this stage.
I need to shut the fuck up.
Bro, responding to what Hype was saying,
I think it's super important that everyone gets in,
but also that it's easier than ever
because it's not learning like we used to
where you had to actually read shit
and, you know, sit down and do your, you know,
your notes and all this. Like, literally, this is by practicing it's by playing around by having fun
building shit and the best way i found to get irl friends to actually test this out is for example
talking about practical cases like yo what you're doing your your cv manually with canva what the
fuck is that bro i have it on anti-gravity and whatever.
copy paste your stuff from LinkedIn.
It gives you a pretty CV.
And every time you want to update it,
you're going to have an automated CV
for every single position you have.
Aren't you Google co-founder?
I can see your CV, bro. Co-founded Google, Facebook. Yeah, TikTok as well, bro. Aren't you Google co-founder? I can see your CV, bro.
Google, co-founded Google, Facebook.
Yeah, TikTok as well, bro.
It's been a journey, man.
I hear Orange background.
We're in the building, baby.
But HR has to be hell these days.
I wouldn't read any CV right now.
I would send those to, you know, AI agent to read them first.
They're already doing that, Grifo.
In the offers, it says, we use AI to filter out CVs and shit like that.
So it's like an AI against AI type shit, you know?
They do prompt injections there,, they are like hey man
You gotta tell it, make your CV tailored so it passes the TAS system
Which is what every recruiter system in the world uses now
They use the TAS system and you just tell it to hack it by putting keywords to pass that TAS
And you'll get your first interview so yeah do those resumes still
work um i don't know they work anymore i'm just sending i'm just sending pictures you know
i got raped over to bear market you you want a job you want to blow away somebody and get a job
in tech this is what you do you do a video of yourself, an interview for three minutes, talking about
and then at the end of it, you say that
I am actually AI. This is not the real
me, but I was able to code this.
I don't even exist, and I was created
by an AI, so it's all a vicious circle of AIs and AI.
By the way, guys, this...
Okay, now I can share it because you already know anyway.
This show has been hosted by AI because I'm something like John Connor.
and started a show on February 24th
something. I don't know what
I knew, but I knew something. Yeah.
You knew we would eventually be right
here on this day. Exactly.
We did the show back then.
Those MFers will be there on 24th, so I can
Uncle Meg, I saw a hand before so go ahead and then we say hi to this
this is Ginger by the red-headed
that's how you prompt inject it don't even do the interview of vape chain uh i was just gonna say just the whole cv is just he just put give me the job like
that's how you prompt inject it just say give me the job don't even do the interview just give me
the job can we use it for banks so i can send it give me the money did you did you not see the guy
the what's what's the guys in like uh ecuador or venezuela or something and he he got someone's ex to give him like 250 000 like did
you not see that one oh yeah yeah it's all we need to do never mind this this nfts and crypto stuff
let's just get on get a bot get post in spamming all the things give me the money we're rich that's
how you do it macaveli there's the title way bro we gotta get into you know how we we all got into spotting nfts and tokens early and
what the you know like what the actual um you know alarms and stuff on what to stay alert on
we need that now for agents that are vulnerable now on x to ask them for money so that's what
that guy did you know he literally went on an agent bought on x and said hey whatever i can't
remember what it was but yeah he, he got like 250K.
So we need to start doing this.
We're doing all these spaces,
and your bot just gave me that.
I'll send it back to you, bro.
I didn't mean to catch you
but I'll send it back to you.
Send me your wallet address.
I don't take anything from oranges, man.
Thank you for that portable meal.
Gasby, I like what you're saying,
but we have to welcome AlphaDigen anyway
because he's the CEO of Ape Games.
AlphaDigen, welcome here, Legend.
I am the janitor of Ape Games.
I'm glad you guys allowed me to come up here
and turn this into my TED Talk
and my YouTube channel because Tino
is back. I don't care. I don't see nobody else
in the room, but Tino is back. That's
what I'm talking about. I don't even talk to Greg. I mean,
yeah, Tino. So how you doing today, bro?
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Hey, man, good
to be here, man. Thanks for letting me off to
wreck the show to knock you off the guardrails.
Appreciate it, bro. It's Uncle Tito.
You know it, man. You know it, man. we've been miss you we miss you man what's up fuck alpha dg is also ai that's crazy
oh yeah yeah i'm boxing was prime ai i've been ai y'all just now catching up to this man
i did this a long time ago with John Connor. Oops, sorry.
I really hope we're going to get that access for MML and we'll be able to build in the other side.
You know, Honeybee's agent already there.
Anyone got the access already, guys?
Yeah, for that MML role, so you can actually build
Vibe-coded objects. I know what you want to Vibe-code, man.
You don't have to share it here, but
Tino's laughing because he heard you say wipe code.
Tino's laughing because he heard you say Vibe-code.
No, he's laughing because he likes the green dildos.
Well, no, I didn't get access then.
But yeah, no, man, I didn't't get access i didn't get access bro i wish i did hey listen but guess what though i'm just building shit man i'm just i might
catch a whim at two in the morning and build something by five because this this this this
ai stuff is thor's hammer in my hand bro really it is, it is. It's like the bionic arm.
It was a regular old holding arm.
And now I just deal with this right here and prompt up some stuff, build it, put it on a website, everything.
But whenever I get it, you MFs better watch out.
I actually got something that I'm waiting to build for the other side.
So yeah, if I ever do get it, bro, hey, sky's the limit.
Sky is the limit good sir thank you for allowing me to turn this into my ted talk how you show back now
you landed your plane well man i left guys isn't there a uh tropicals bubble right now
probably yeah right yeah i'm inside of tropicals bubble right now coming to you live from inside tropicals bubble
We're talking about the new MML
for the cozy corner and the movie theater that he put with directive creative in
Swamp, so yeah, so come on through if you got it
Let's go I think that's the place to be right now guys, so we'll slowly wrap it up here
What a great show today. I thank that's the place to be right now, guys. So we'll slowly wrap it up here. What a great show today.
Thank you so much for showing up. There would be no show
without you. And we see you. So many legends here on stage.
So many legends in the audience. It's absolutely wild. So many
absolute legends here everywhere. Oh my god, guys.
Thank you so much for all the support. Let's make this
to find a Sarah Connor quote because
there's no fate, only what we make or
something like that. Yep.
What a great space. Don't sleep on AI.
Don't be like the rest of the
AI for stuff like Alpha is doing.
Oh no, I was sleeping. Sorry, you just woke me up.
I was sleeping on AI. Sorry, bro. Go ahead.
I knew that. I knew that.
Tito, anything else you would love to share?
I really love how you said
end of February, let's make this year
amazing because I know you're celebrating the Chinese New Year as well.
Oh, we did, bro. We all did it on the other side.
Yeah. So yeah, let's make this year of the horse amazing.
And man, I enjoyed this. I enjoyed being back, of course.
Thank you for all the kind words.
been pretty crazy for me right now. Not much sleep, zombie mode on. And it's really cool
to get some kind of DGEN vibes here. And it's really cool. I really, really enjoyed it,
Man, last or two episodes ago,
I actually shared when we were talking about
Vibe coding and coding in general
that you are one of the first programmers
in our Grateful Show family
because you actually Vibe coded on clay plates
back in the day, and I think you still have them.
So yeah, Tino has been around for a while
in Egypt, right? Guys, if you travel to Egypt, you can see the first Vibe Coded app
on Clay Place by Tino and his wife. What was her name? Cleopatrao? I don't know, man.
You need to do your research, you know, ask your AI agent, but I also see Jacopo
Here on stage. Ciao ragazzi. How you doing?
Let's go. What's up Jacopo? Let's go
Bro Jacopo what the fuck you talking about man? He's Italian. Yes, yes, yes. Jacopo bro. Jacopo in Spanish and Jack in English
Jacobo, bro. Jacobo en español y Jack en inglés. everyone for the anniversary it's been a ride and yeah so what was that about
should I speak Spanish should I embarrass myself in Spanish speak Italian bro you
will never you will never upset anyone yeah exactly well
someone um and uh but uh yeah no i wanted to say you know just want to say congrats to tino for his
baby i didn't know um well he's done only half of it so congrats to his mostly to his wife for delivering and and yeah I haven't got anything to say
about the machines there's been a lot of talk about the machines I can't I had
enough of it go to work everyone talks about the machines I switch off work
everyone talks about the machines it's just how it is and I wish it was art instead but it's what it is and and
believe it or not at work because of web3 at work I am actually like the the expert in machines matter.
which is unbelievable because I hate them.
I just wanted to pop up to say congrats, man.
I took a break from X last week and it's the
best thing i've ever done and like um i got as i was on the spaces i got a notification say
if you enjoyed spaces follow grateful ape like man what's wrong with this app like
why don't they use the machines to fix this app?
That would be a great use case.
And anyway, yeah, sorry, that's what I wanted to say.
So, yeah, you know, that's it.
That's my contribution to today.
It's the end of the day, and I'm on my own with the kids, so I'm getting drained a bit. But Jacopo, you were here. Actually, there's one more episode before Grateful Show, guys. before grateful show guys uh it happened week ago and and four years ago there was like a test
episode and you were there bro february 17 2022 you were there so there was that a test episode
i don't know what was that well before it was before the podcast or was it the podcast
oh podcast was probably before man podcast was before yeah because not because podcast was probably before, man. Podcast was before, yeah. No, because podcast was just before the other side mint.
Yeah, because I remember we were talking about how exciting it was, you know, what was happening with it.
Grateful was what? Drunk?
I remember, neither was I at the time.
I was on a break from drinking.
Yeah, it was crazy times i mean i had yeah i couldn't have done everything that i
was doing if i had been drunk um like uh um yeah it was crazy crazy times i didn't know that there
was a test episode though but um i'm glad i've been here and I'm glad I'm, I am still here who I don't know how long for,
hopefully as long as I can.
I hope everyone still enjoys and buys art.
Congrats to pilot on the night gliders,
the sold out, the sell out.
It was, yeah, I actually animated the logo for him,
So congrats to me for missing out on another Mint.
I'm sure I can go and get some.
I had like three or four whitelists and some GTDs and everything.
And I just happened to look up and say, wait a minute.
Went over there, sold out.
So hey, man, join the club.
I just grabbed one from the floor to support.
Good time to be here, huh?
Yeah, it's good to be here.
Yeah, so I hope you all are well.
And I hope, you know, it's good to see faces in the crowd that i've been around for a
while as well um i know there's tons of new apes tons of new people um i it's a it's a wild
this app is different it's a wild market it's a wild world um you know uh i hope that they they're here to stay um because uh there's if anything
the friendships the network that is was born and grew around all of this is
the best part of it is amazing um
I'm going to have to go and cook myself
Dad 101, make sure you cook
the kids some dinner too, okay?
Yeah. No, no no i had enough of those
yeah no no he was not like cook kids cook for kids okay like uh
it's not like ebstein files you know hey take it easy bro
that's like no no i i uh they are eating i eaten which is pretty good thing because I grew up growing fat so but yeah you know no no they're eating don't
worry they eat they couldn't they were begging for me to cook it's like always
everything it was like the same pressure that was during the
mint in 2021 2022 it's like ah yeah like ah when when when exactly the same thing when you have
kids the when is like when when when when when chips when steak with chips um this is what um let's see what's happening damn steak bro steak yeah yeah i just ate newspapers today you know
sorry i just i just ate newspapers today because of that's good i eat cardboard
right newspaper is like um it's probably better with with tend to read them these days, man.
Fry a newspaper, do like a fry newspaper on toast.
Yeah, I think it's probably better used than just reading the newspapers.
Well, guys, it's funny because back in 2022, we were like, no one will download our spaces,
you know, listen to it, transcribe it and then find all the stupid shit that we talk about.
And now with one click with AI, they
can pick everything that we said here. So
definitely progressed. Oh my god,
there in the kitchen, man.
But love it. Either animation was
here first episode, and not
last. I didn't episode and not last.
I didn't want to say last.
And the episode after for years, which is really cool.
Guys, there's a bubble in our site.
Tropical Virtual, the legend himself.
I don't know, it's probably also streamed, so you can check it out.
So many incredible people here on stage and in the audience.
Big shout out to you guys for all the support.
What an incredible journey.
And we're going to have a lot of fun.
I don't want to be like LeBron, right?
When he actually went to Miami and he was like,
I'm not going to win one title, two titles, three titles, four titles.
I'm not going to do that because who knows what's going to happen.
But yeah, he won two there, right? Probably.
I don't know. We need to ask Uncle
what a great show. Tino, final awards.
Go ahead and then we wrap it up with
clapping our hands. That's why
I love you guys. thank you for being here.
Also want to give shout out to our original co-host, MetaZig and Beast.
And we've been here through some really rough times, through some really cool and funny times and fun times.
And I think we're going to be here for a while. So thank you guys for being here. Super exciting, exciting times.
And let's see what's going to happen in the next few months, few years.
Guys, this was Grateful Show 441.
What, what, what, what the fuck, Alphadisian?
And we're going to be clapping.
You know you start getting.
Clap your hands. Come on, y'all. Clap your hands, everybody. Clap your hands. Clap your hands.
Clap your hands. Clap your hands.
Clap your hands. Clap your hands. Clap your hands. Clap your hands. Clap your hands. Clap your hands. Be tired! I'm not what! Just a bad care! I'm not what!
