night i i can see us kind of going sideways for a little bit longer i don't think that we are there
yet but yeah i've been speaking to crypto bullies um he's he's working hard on the dap uh and
getting closer and closer to that but also been speaking to our artist i've commissioned a whole
bunch of other work um i'm doing a couple of payments today with him uh he's done a one of
one animated one of one uh and it's a villain one of the villains from one of the
stories so you know we've got the gold collective uh in our in our law uh you know we don't know
what the gold collective look like there's never been any type of pictures or anything of them so
we're trying to build that out uh at the moment so yeah man it's it's it's exciting it's fun
i'm enjoying working with the with the artist and uh just getting some of the stuff uh to come to
life yeah no i totally hear you bro uh regarding the washing i totally get it man obviously come
back off holiday i am dreading unpacking i haven't even properly unpacked yet absolutely dreading it
um obviously yeah regarding the artwork i know that the artists people know the artists arlo

check out his art he's just fucking he is 10 10 100 so we've got a lot of cooking a lot going on
and not only with msc as well with thc obviously we've got a town hall meeting on Monday, a team meeting
regarding THC on Monday, a lot to discuss regarding marketing and other things going
forward, which of course does affect MSC by extension. So guys, keep an eye out for that
because there are going to be announcements and news coming shortly. But, yeah, over to you, Rick.
I see we have Nana on stage. What's up, Nana? How you doing?
The stream yesterday was off the head, man. Proud of you.
GM, GM GM everyone
I think better say it's a woo time
tonight
so a woo everyone in the room
good being here good seeing everyone
and yeah I'm so grateful
for yesterday it was crazy
but I'm still tired
but yeah it was super fun to do
we still have a bunch of
giveaways so
I think we can easily do five further ones so But yeah, it was super fun to do. We still have a bunch of giveaways.
I think we can easily do five further ones. So we will keep on doing so, spreading music,
share the projects, and whatever might come up in there as well
because crypto is a fast space.
Let's see what could could become part as well so
uh yeah it was crazy crazy crazy so you looked in your element bro yeah you looked in your element
man with your board eight t-shirt absolutely vibing out i was vibing out i had one rolled
had the coffee going and i just got back off holiday actually i'd got back off holiday and about half hour an hour later it was running so yeah it was great to vibe out man you looked in
your element and the whole stream was just amazing and i like i said to rick at the end of the day
it's a breath of fresh air for web3 it's what web3 needed the timing it just so happened that the
timing was impeccable all-time highs of Bitcoin and then the music festival the day after.
But no, overall, it was a breath for a fresh air.
I said to Rick that people were going to love it.
I did tell him.
And I know that people are screaming for more.
So can't wait for the next one.
Yeah, I'm very grateful as well.
A big thank to Rick who was managing the tech side.
Like, wow, he fixed problems on the fly. So thanks for that. a big thank to Rick who was managing the tech side like wow
he fixed problems on the fly
so thanks for that
thanks as well to the Sheebers
for sponsors as well so yeah
dope
all about the community I love it
thank you
yeah and we still
actually have loads of prizes
that we need to give give away actually uh so what
we will be doing is a part two there will be a part two of that we just had so many artists come
on it was crazy um and they were all so good as well you know so man the the diversity of music
was just insane as well and uh was just good vibes honestly i love streaming
ov is a great platform uh it it took a little getting used to i'm not going to say oh yes you
know i got there and i knew how everything was working it took a little bit of getting used to
but once once you kind of uh get going then you're good, you know.
So, yeah, good experience with Ovi,
good experience overall with Mutant Records, I think,
and with all the artists.
And it's just a start, you know, just the very first event of many.
It was just, yeah, we can go on about it for ages on how amazing it was,
but you had to have been there. It is recorded if you guys want to go and about it for ages on how amazing it was but you had to have been there
it is recorded if you guys want to go and check it out
over 3,000 people tuning in between all the streams
I think maybe even more
just crazy insane amount of people
so it was really good
also intercepted with kind of the drop of Spotlight Season 2 news coming out.
So it was just really good timing.
The market hitting all-time highs.
Vibes were just crazy yesterday.
But like Nana was saying, he's tired.
Man, streaming just does.
It takes it out of you.
It's very different from being on a space where you can just kind of lie down or do whatever and just talk.
On that, you have to be alert the whole time, fixing things on the fly, as Nana says.
If there's any potential problem, you have to quickly tackle it.
So, yeah, it gets tricky, but you have to do it a few times.
That's why I say to people, if you want to become a streamer just start streaming that's the best advice i can give anyone
because the first five or six are going to be terrible man they they never work out ever ever
ever ever ever ever so you might as well just get them out the way uh but yeah things going well and um excited for
the weeks ahead you know very excited we have our friends albatross uh still minting so if you
haven't and you want to mint an albatross uh go ahead uh very cheap i think it's under 20 dollars
but very cheap for for an nft in my opinion um for some beautiful art
and that's our friends uh at the gm ape change show uh sam and of course uh agents who who
we support uh we've got the man himself up here on stage as well uh tricky buddha what is up
Tricky Buddha what is up?
It's tricky Buddha from defy space donkeys powered by weed on Solana get yourself a bag of weed
I'm never gonna stop giggling after I say this shit. It always just gets more intense. I feel like
But you got to get into it. You got to enjoy what you're doing. Did you hear there's another another coin called weed coin
There's like a second one
There's like there's three actually that are going around to where you're right now
Which is funny because it's like they popped up after we started
Doing, you know kind of like a revamp once we kind of like redid the marketing plan a little bit and started doing more stuff
That's when they all popped up.
So we've got like a year on them almost. So how do you specify when you go in these spaces and you say, get yourself a bag of weed?
How do you identify which bag of weed?
Well, if they go to them, then they're not going to get anything.
Or, you know, I'm making all these other projects have to fork it up
because we got 40% of our supply for giveaways and burning
and rewards for the community and stuff.
You know what I mean?
I doubt that they have that.
Most of these other guys are CTOing a coin that basically rugged them
a couple months ago, and they like the ticker.
Well, guess what?
We're not a rug, and we have the same ticker.
So you might want to just give up and join the family but I understand
people get attached to their bags you know and they figure they maybe maybe
we can CTO this thing it's like you got to have like majority of the supply if
you're gonna CTO a project you don't CTO a project when you've got like one or
two percent of the supply between you and all your friends. That's a dumb idea.
Anyway.
That doesn't work, bro.
Right.
Yeah, I know.
Anyway, but
it's a good ticker.
Maybe they just smoke a little too much weed and they're like,
I knew we were hearing the idea from somewhere.
But, yeah. I mean, I figure maybe they just smoke a little too much weed and they're like i knew we were hearing the idea from somewhere but yeah i mean i figure uh we send we send them to us and then we give them a little bag of weed and they get to watch it grow or they get over to the other people and they're like damn
why do everyone keep asking me for bags of weed
crits are so crazy bro like people If you Google the dollar sign weed,
I come up before any other account.
Your account comes up?
My personal account comes up, yeah.
Wow, bro.
How much weed did you stream and smoke on X? To hit the algorithm like this, bro.
You take a couple 30 to 45 second bong rips and word travels around the internet.
You must see this guy live on the stream yesterday.
He was hitting big bongs.
big bongs
big big big bongs monsters
Big, big, big bongs.
Monsters.
my personal go to is just like this
little special cake glass one
I love it
it just hits right but
yeah I'll turn
some smoke out of that thing
sounds like a
jet flame when I'm smoking this thing
and you put edibles on Sounds like a jet flame when I'm smoking this thing
But yeah, it's good and you put edibles on top. I mean and you put extracts on top which is why oh, yeah
Yeah, this headbanger Dabs is pretty yeah
That way your bowl lasts longer, you know
I try to put enough in there that it's like two hits and sometimes, you know
If I put too big of a dab on there It ends up being like three
Ideally you want to just have like fresh greens every hit
so you got put just the right amount of bud and then just the right amount of extract and
Then have like a lung capacity. It's three times the normal human
Can hold my breath for two minutes and nine seconds, but what about with a quarter
of a gram of wheat?
I think I've got a new challenge.
I've got to figure out how long can I ghost a gram for?
If I hold a gram, like one gram bong rip, like dab rip, and then go underwater, what's
my time?
Some records. 35 bro what was that
I said some records bro
oh bro you're gonna love
the new traits
that we got coming out in MSC
we got
like weed buds behind
and then we've got weed buds as ears
the weed buds as ears is one of
my favorites favorite favorite traits with like the the pink hairs and the pink uh trichomes
really dope bro that's awesome i i was actually also doing some ladies traits i'll see bet
let's go sorry i just wanted to say, while I see
Babs and MadQueen
down there, we are going to be
introducing some lady trades
to the pool.
So, I hope you
can deck your Shibas out as
ladies.
Finally, we can market to
pet brand in Germany, and you won't
be rocked by all these equality pet owners.
So very well played, bro.
Yeah, we're having fun with it.
So even like we are going through some of the stories today
with the artists and just saying,
oh, that would be a cool trade oh that would be a cool trade that
would be a cool trade so we're coming up with a nice list a whole bunch of extra traits because
we're almost there crypto bullies is i said to him when dap and he just sent me a a picture of
someone dancing so you know say what think what you will but to me that says uh i know
he's pretty close because normally bullies is a man of many words and uh if he if it's just a few
words it means he's serious anyway mac uh let's get to the weekly how it's been a while hasn't it
Let's get to the weekly how.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
It most certainly has, my friend.
It has been a while.
I know that last week we didn't do it.
But it's okay because I'm not being funny over the past few weeks.
We've been absolutely smashing it.
We've had collaborations and whatnot.
So it's okay.
We can give it a pass.
But tonight we're back.
Yeah, we're back. We're back. That's what I said. We're running it back to not doing it a pass. But tonight we're back. Yeah, we back.
We back.
That's what I said.
We're running it back tonight.
Doing it old school.
Max Weekly Howl, guys.
Here we go.
You know, my favorite part of the whole week.
I just, I found out all the latest news.
Here we go.
Max Weekly Howl.
next weekly how
alright so this week as we know
bitcoin at all time high
it's just been absolutely chaotic
out on the field
of course we've had trump
slap 30% tariffs on the EU
and Mexico.
Exchange inflows are at their lowest level in a decade as Bitcoin hits new all-time highs.
XLM has skyrocketed 70% in a week.
Obviously, there was some buzz around an upgrade that they had.
Of course, you've also had the fact that Wall Street as well.
Wall Street are betting big on crypto.
$3.6 billion was poured into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs over the past week.
Ripple XRP has surged to a four-month high.
There's just so much going on.
I mean, Robinhood, they've been probed under low-fee claims.
Now, apparently, some people have come out and said that what they're saying about their low fees is false.
So they're being probed over that Robinhood.
So, yeah, like I say, there's just been absolute chaos over the markets the
time that everything's pumping i was away i was on a phone call with rick and he said bro you've
seen the charts he say you know bitcoins hit this solana's at this and absolutely insane and of
course i'm looking at the news articles here and uh it's all about the prices it's all about the prices. It's all about the new highs. It's all about, you know,
exchange inflows being at their lowest level in a decade. Now, of course, that tells me that,
I mean, if you read it differently, that tells me that money has slowed going into these exchanges.
Maybe that's why we're seeing a slight call off. I don't know um but that's short and sweet max weekly how um just to ease back into
it next week we go hard and yeah over to you rick yeah a lot of the things um i was going to cover
as well uh you know there were not too many huge stories this week of course the tariffs was was a
big uh talking point bitcoin hitting its all-time high
i think that takes up most of the timeline uh just people being super bullish um but i'm also seeing
that uh robin hood's launched uh ethan soul staking in the us um quite interesting uh and
then there's a couple of other small hitters, nothing too massive.
We saw that the SEC acknowledged Canary's filing for Spots Pengu ETF.
That would be crazy.
Imagine a Pengu ETF.
And Coinbase hired a new crypto Twitter lead and and changed their pfp to a pudgy penguin
so bullish for the the penguins shout out to to agents uh down there with the with the penguin
and then also spotlight season two has been teased i think that that's kind of like the
big news as well from the week um what what do you know about uh spotlight season two and i know what's what
what's the 411 for what's the tldr about spotlight season two also if anyone else has any uh info or
wants to share their take on season two please come up let's talk about season two um also going to be giving away some ape chain nfts
tonight and 50 in ape i didn't even i was trying to work out how much it was i think it's like 70
or 80 ape maybe 90 ape uh we'll be giving away tonight so make sure you like and you retweet the space it is pinned at the top uh the first one
um and then yeah but uh wanted to ask uh nana what what do you know do you know much about
spotlight season two or you you still kind of catching up on it bro honestly i'm catching up
on it but what i've read is so far somehow somehow everything shall count, like meme coins, NFTs, seems
they're multipliers and collections.
Yeah, I've reached out to them to see if we can get our collection listed in there as
well from Newton Records.
So fingers crossed.
No, but I think probably as well different mechanics
because I've heard rumors that
you can like
designate your points
to several projects then
and not only like one, two, three
no clue how much the last one
no I'm just waiting to see
how it like when it starts
what's really behind it and to see like what we can do in there for the community and have fun.
So, yeah.
Otherwise, no clue, honestly.
Yeah, I was interested.
I was like, oh, shit, okay, the floors are going to start pumping
because people know, like um spotlights
coming so i was just looking and yeah bro there's some projects that uh our friends the tigers uh
up 20 on the day um we've got a couple of other ones that seem like they've they've had chumps
up 10 i mean nothing major like you know we're not really seeing crazy, crazy.
I think the most volume is Apes on Ape and Clutch Puppies
kind of taking up the majority of the volume there.
But very interesting, just very interesting just very interesting I think obviously Clutch is going to play a big part
in Spotlight Season 2
I believe
and that's maybe why we're seeing
kind of
yeah
what do you think
there's already a bet now
and I think it makes sense
because like
the staking is pretty successful.
I'm staking with them.
It brought a lot of liquidity into the chain.
The product itself seems to be interesting for a lot of people.
So it's good overall for the ecosystem to get eyes on it, I would say,
because every new user is a potential new user
for every existing collection on ApeChain.
And we have already so many good builders who are present
and will only benefit from these new users on the chain.
So I think it's a smart marketing move
to use what Clutch is doing and doing well to get more eyes on it and on the chain.
Yeah, I think so.
It starts on Monday, Season 2, right, if I'm not mistaken?
When it's the 14th, that's what I've read.
Yeah, Monday.
Yeah, Monday. Yeah, so it's starting off on monday
uh so yeah guys it's gonna heat up uh gm ape chain is gonna be lit uh on on monday it would be cool
if they did something like you know just to support the the smaller smaller projects as well but i think they are with this individual
uh leaderboard i guess they had that the last time and then there's the
community collection leaderboard and then tasks and multipliers pretty much the same
as last time but i just think the focus is going to be uh somewhere. I saw Honeybee actually put out a
Honeybee put out a
let me just see if I can find
it, a post.
I don't know if it was a joke or what.
It was like
kind of the new ape to-do list, I would
say.
It includes like the
best activities for
Spotlight 2 and as well
like a daily guide.
I'm reading it.
It's like a joke thing.
It's not the actual...
But it's great.
He mentions written records.
I like it.
Perfect.
Here we go.
I'll put it at the top. There we go here we go let's i'll put it at the top there we go there we go guys so if you want uh some more info on it it is there um
yeah so stack your bags now i would say like i i not financial advice but i do think that now is probably a good time to pick up
a few um a chain nfts and i mean even if you look at like the top project the the clutch clutch
puppies um the price of them is what are they sitting at now? Man, I hate the ape because I never know how much it is.
I'm going to have to just change this to USD.
Sorry, guys.
Aurelius, what's up?
Gee, the original, what's up?
Hi, I was hanging in Dutchie's space today.
That was nice. I'm all about Spotlight.
And there's a lot of staking.
He did talk a lot about clutch and swapping.
Like they did the Christmas thing.
But I posted a link in, which I'm sure you might have seen Honey get a post with um kind
of like suggestions lengthy and it's I looked at it and said well I guess I'm not doing spotlight
because I'm not capable I don't know the funds are high but but there's more prizes in a sense, heavier prizes, more than it was last time.
So it's like in a different direction.
It's pretty neat.
They did record the space.
So it was the Ape News Spotlight Season 2.
and they had the clutch market there of course Rita told me that no information
And they had the clutch market there, of course.
will be out until Monday which I think it'll be out before and that was about
the info so the info is coming out on Monday but it also starts on Monday
correct that was a little like why would it come out the same day because we're
getting we're starting on Monday.
But I had sent him a DM for something, and I asked him,
and he said, everything's coming out Monday.
I mean, I'd like to know before.
But it seems very interesting.
You might have been asked this already,
but I'm going to address the elephants in the room here.
How come you have Aurelius' PFP?
Did you kill him?
No, he said that we can use them until Monday.
So in the morning show, I switched my PFP to honor him because he's leaving us.
I'm sad.
So he said we're okay.
He's leaving us for what?
20 people are using it.
Well, I think he had said, maybe he's just jazzing around.
But why is he leaving us?
Why is he leaving us?
He's on to different things.
New journey. He said he's going to do something else. He'll be here
every now and then.
This weekend is
the last No More Teen
Conference.
Unless I heard wrong, which is very possible.
Because my ears aren't
as good as they used to be.
But he did say we could use it until Monday.
No, no, that's why I was just confused.
I didn't know what was going on.
Yeah, but he's a good guy, honestly.
Very.
It's a loss to not have him here, you know,
if he's not here every day like he has been.
I know.
That's how I felt.
I mean, he's cool.
But this face is like that, right?
You know?
Just something about him that he's really got an extra little bit of special to him.
But I'm still not on.
I really like him.
No Discord.
And I sent you a DM.
So, again, so if you could look at that. I'd appreciate it. I always go not on. I really like him. No Discord. And I sent you a DM. So, again, so if you could look at that.
I'd appreciate it.
I always go and check.
I always, like, honestly, like, whenever I remember,
I just go and I quickly check to make sure, like,
the role hasn't been taken.
I think we just have to jump in the VC and it's Vulcan, man.
I've tried to even give you, you know,
maybe I'll just give you a moderator role,
and then I'm sure that'll stop it.
Yeah, I mean, I tried Collabland on a different browser,
and it kind of worked.
No, no, no, no.
It must be Vulcan.
It must be Vulcan.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
They reset everything every 24 hours.
It's very annoying.
It's painful.
Now, I don't see Vulcan when I go on.
I see Collabland.
Okay, I'm going to sort that out then.
If it's happening to more than one person,
I'm going to definitely sort that out.
But we've got the man of the hour here.
We've got the man. Thank you.
Oh, thanks. Thank you so much, G.
And stay up here because it's lovely to chat with you
um agent the man of the hour i wanted to ask uh maybe you can shed some light
excuse the pun on spotlight season two
hello everyone how we doing how we doing uh yes, yes, I think I think we might actually
Sorry, I'm with my little one right now
But I think I think we're gonna be getting maybe maybe updates before that that's what I kind of got
Heard from simple farmer
As far as because he said keep an eye on the ape coin and a chain accounts
So I would imagine like we might get more updates on like how
it's going to roll out what i have heard so far though is that um multipliers will come to play
um just like they were before i think they're also going to be looking at some meme coins
uh that's why there was some movements from last night i heard that in a different space
um and the focus will be around clutch markets uh I'm guessing, you know, they're going to be pushing a little bit more around that activity,
which is good if you have a clutch puppy and if you're staking.
I'm going to be max staking my clutch puppy very shortly, I think, over time.
But I think that's probably some alpha.
If you do have a clutch puppy and you have been staking you might see a
little bit more benefits as they're going to be pushing more of the you know what's with the
platform i think it's not just not just the um the parlays but also the eight predict part
so you can make some predictions i'm guessing they'll probably be some you know um some
predictions brought by the communities also and and that's all on-chain activity as you
know if you make a parlay any kind of bet like that you get a an nft through plush markets
so i i like what i what i've what i've come uh what i've what i've heard basically is like
season two it might be a little bit smaller or shorter in time uh bigger i think as an event
though because the prizes it won't be so much, I guess this may be
some alpha that was shared earlier,
the prizes won't be so much where the big
prizes are just for the top people.
You'll have an opportunity, as long as you're involved,
to get a nice prize, it sounds
like, and be able to
have fun, have fun.
They listened to a lot
of feedback from Season 1, and I
think they're definitely going to play into that for season two give me one second i'll be right back
yeah i'm interested to see what what happens then you know i'm just thinking
from an msc perspective um i'm probably gonna put it to the community vote on Monday
and see if you guys want maybe us to get a clutch puppy or two
and for us to then stake it.
And then any rewards we get from Spotlight Season 2
will just go into our shop, the giveaway channel,
for you guys to go and claim.
So we'll work something out, but i'm definitely going to be
um excuse the pun farming uh the spotlight season two uh for msc for msc not not not personally
i just think for msc it's a good idea because we hold the ton of ape chain nfts
um so i mean i will still participate but i think we got hard as a community and the rewards can go back to you guys man i'm so excited for it you know i've the first one was really really good
like the the first season i just remember brought a lot of ours to the chain the thing i'm really hoping though is how do they reward like spaces
because that's what i think they need to do like how do they reward people for hosting spaces for
being in spaces because i think that's like what makes up the best part of ape chain um
agent yeah yeah i had some thoughts on this I'm guessing they might do something
I don't know if anyone's doing allo pass or if anyone was part of thank you before
I'm guessing they might do like if they look ever
You know rewarding not only I don't think they would look at only space hosts
I'm guessing they would also look to highlight streamers
Because I believe you know that that's that that could be something that they could do.
And I'm guessing the way they would do it is similar to how you share your stats on how many viewers you got or how many listeners.
It might be based on that in length, and you just send a link.
Because in Allopass, for example, there was recently a quest that anyone can do.
Anyone listening, you do not need an Allopass,
and you get experience points for just hosting a space with Allopass as a title for at least 10 minutes, and I think, or I think it's 40
minutes and 10 listeners at least.
I have to double check what it is.
So I'm thinking maybe they'll do something similar to that, or like what Ape did, where
you send the link, and then someone has to actually review these spaces and give out
the points, on the if it
meets the analytics right that's that yeah that to me sounds very very very good and very interesting
if they if they can incorporate that into spotlight season two and that's quite weighted
i think it will hit hard because you'll have so many spaces going on
you'll have everyone in spaces it will just get crazy it will be like old school like you know
old school nft days
it's cool they did mention that the AI is going to keep track.
So, because it's better than a person,
in a sense, would be a little bit more accurate.
So, like Adrian said, you have to do spaces, posts,
and video, like, I don't know, I'm brain dead again.
You know, podcast kind of stuff.
Streaming.
Streaming.
Yeah, streaming.
I'll be all right.
It's stormy here, so my head gets a little weirder.
And they're going to be checking that way.
AI is going to be checking everything.
And he did say there'll be questions about
parlays.
If the Lakers...
What's the
percentage, more or less,
of them winning game eight?
So, and then other questions...
Gee, gee, I think...
I think that was more of a joke, gee.
Just so you know, I think that's more of a joke, G. Just so you know, I think that's more of a joke because there's only seven games, I think, in the playoffs.
I was going to say that because it's kind of funny because Dutchie knows nothing about sports.
So I thought that was kind of funny, too, because everybody knows the seven games.
But it's kind of going to be interesting with the
questions and whatnot but I did post the link for
honeybee stuff
and I agree with the community thing that would be awesome
yeah just any way any way of like supporting
community driven stuff I think is is definitely what what
they should be doing so let's see exciting stuff it's literally monday it kicks off you know people
have been talking about this for months spotlight season two uh i also hope that it is a bit shorter
because the first one felt a little bit long to me. Maybe some people didn't feel the same,
but I definitely felt like it felt a little bit long,
like it dragged on a little bit too much.
Maybe a bit of a shorter season would be good.
But, you know, the other side is something that people aren't talking about.
I think that that's, what did they say?
The 17th, if i'm not mistaken um
would be that first uh expedition am i am i wrong in saying that
maybe uh i'll i'll i'll check my facts but i'm pretty sure it's in the next week or two
that we're supposed to be going on the other side,
which is exciting as well.
So, yeah, all of this stuff is dope as hell,
and I can't wait for us to get involved as MSC.
You know we've got other deeds.
We've got the coder and all the rest,
so definitely going to be involved there big time
and competing and doing
all that type of stuff uh all of the rewards going back to uh you guys in the community you
know we just put it in the shop and uh people can claim it through interacting and being active
but yeah uncle mac what are your thoughts on spotlight season two
But yeah, Uncle Mac, what are your thoughts on Spotlight Season 2?
Hey, good evening.
Also, I just want to say that was the fastest I've ever come up to the space in my entire life.
I clicked the button and there was no even time warp.
I was just like, zoom, I was here.
I don't even think there was any lag.
Agent's sentence went from one word to the next
I was like oh shit that was fast
Spotlight season 2
I don't know
It's a bit of a weird one
Spotlight season 1 didn't really capture me
Well I mean
I feel like there were problems with it
For one like it was sort of a whale game.
I'm not a whale.
Barely a tadpole.
And then this next one,
I again don't know if it's going to capture me.
I'm not really a gambler.
So creating parlays and doing things,
and I feel like, again, it's not really my game.
I feel like, again, it's not really my game.
I'm waiting for the F1 equivalent of Spotlight,
like Spotlight Season 5, because that's my jam.
And currently we've done boxing and we've done football
and Spotlight Season 3 might be golf,
and I don't know if I'll participate as much then.
So it's an odd one.
I'm sure as it rolls out.
But as a founder,
as a founder though,
does it excite you at all?
Like for your projects or not at all?
I get like,
not really.
I don't see where the benefit is coming to my project.
If they're highlighting one major project.
I see we've got a multiplier, and that's good for people who hold our tokens and participate in the spotlight, who play the game of Spotlight Season 2.
But as a founder, not particularly.
I'm building my thing.
We're heads down building our thing.
And Spotlight Season 2 doesn't really relate to that other than there seems to be a little bit of focus on meme coins
and everyone sort of forgets about the gold sometimes like you know they're on apex press
and they're promoting all the meme coins and stuff and there's literally a coin that like
never goes down and is backed by proof of work and all the stuff from mining so it's a little bit confusing sometimes like what are we what are we highlighting
over here what are we spotlighting because you know sometimes we're spotlighting some random
stuff and sometimes we're spotting some really cool stuff like clutch i don't know that wasn't
meant to sound shady by the way either just you know remember there No. I think you've got a point there,
and that's just as someone that was obviously not a fan or anything,
just participating in Ape Chain Spotlight Season 1.
I just kind of felt like it was a Wales game,
and, you know, the multiplier is cool and everything,
but you need volume in order to make that multiplier count.
Otherwise, what are you multiplying?
You know, a couple thousand points doesn't really do you much.
So, yeah, I agree.
And with the whole thing of like spotlighting randomly,
I feel like that is the thing.
I do.
I just think it's random.
It's totally random.
And if you get lucky, they spotlight you.
I don't even know.
I don't know if it's some sort of, we had a huge talk about this yesterday
as well, you know, because, you know, you've got grinders like our agents,
seven days a week, putting on a show uh has a mint
and and no support whatsoever from the chain you know so uh there's little things like that that
makes makes just raise your eyebrow a little bit but of course uh the community being here is like
the thing that that makes us all forget at the end you know we like damn this community
is just too dope and that's what they should be spotlighting you know i'll say it on a recorded
space that's what they should be spotlighting is the actual camaraderie the community um
like spotlight that shit like that's that's what you should be showing everyone because that like
the betting like bro you can go
bet on anything you can go bet on on polymarket uh you know all of these things meme coins you
can go buy a meme coin on solana what what makes a chain difference community spotlight that
spotlight the the the connections that are in the in this ecosystem that's the shit you
spotlight then i think other people be like oh shit you know these guys it's actually a dope
family they've got over there i want to join that family uncle mack uh yeah i agree and i think that
was that was the point a lot of people in season one made. Agent is a perfect example.
Turns up seven days a week, sometimes late, but we'll let him off.
And, you know, has him in, is there, does all the things.
It's great.
But then I don't think we should take anything away from Clutch
because Clutch is doing an amazing thing on 8 Chain.
It's very unique and smart and clever and shit.
So you should spotlight him, but not to the exclusion of others.
You should spotlight Allo, which I feel like they probably will,
because, you know, he's kind of in there.
His, like, thing where you can add projects to his thing,
and people can upvote, and then there's some prizes and stuff as well.
Like, he's doing his own kind of mini spotlight.
In Season 1, obviously, I have have to mention myself we did the mine but there was no integration of
the mine into the spotlight so it's like um and like obviously we're we're not mining at the
moment so you can't spotlight us right now but when we get the other mine going like you can
spotlight us then um and lots of other things in in the, like what you and Nana did yesterday, what Olvi's doing.
Where are those spotlights?
It seems like they've gone...
Spotlight Season 2 is gambling and meme coins,
because bitches love gambling and meme coins.
I just said bitches because it sounded funny in my head,
but DJs love gambling and meme coins,
so we're going to spotlight that.
So, I don't know. just a bit of a ramble um things should get spotlight more outside of the
the spotlight circle won't finish the word must resist um yeah yeah i mean we we all know it we
all see it we also see that on the other side of that is the entirety of the Ape Chain community
the people who aren't at the top
probably aren't in the middle, just the everyday people
who show up and participate and interact and do stuff
so, yeah, I don't know, I feel like maybe they've missed the mark again
but we're going
to get more info on monday so we'll see how it goes yeah it's still early i guess but um
definitely definitely agree with you on on all those points and uh yeah let's let's let's see
what what's done i just find it so weird like in my my mind, I'm just like, okay, bro, I run Yuga.
I'm going to hire an intern whose job it is just to interact with different accounts.
And I'm going to give them a list or, you know, we're going to work with every single
space host for spotlight season three and they are going to be the ones that basically
space host for Spotlight season three.
are the judges for for the space and they get rewarded for that so imagine a scenario where
like agents is a judge for spotlight season three because he's there he can take note of
of everyone that's in the space every day and who's showing up every day um
and that way you reward actual people who are showing up and who are like being part of the
ape chain community and not just flipping nfts or flipping meme coins or making a bunch of dgen
bets uh it's just you know the thing is it's not where the money is unfortunately like that isn't monetary like with
the with the meme coins there's money involved you know there's buying selling meme coins the
the cut that uh whoever's going to get you know the maybe camelot i'm not sure whoever is running
the the deployer is going to get so there's money involved right but when it comes to spaces like
how do you how do you quantify that into like a a monetary value like you you can't really
but it is the most valuable thing but it's hard to put like a monetary value on it if that makes
sense uncle mac just just doing the hand so that you know that I'm riffing with you.
I've got the back and forth going.
Money isn't the problem.
And the problem is what you said.
How do you quantify something?
The thing that I think Ape Chain are trying to quantify,
and we could go full tin hat, but we'll keep it tin hat off,
just standard things, exactly what we're explaining here,
is they need transaction volume on the chain they they need to be sure this chain is
performing um and you can do that when you have on-chain things like making parlay bets like uh
buying and selling of meme coins um and so that's what they're trying to prove.
I don't know who you prove it to.
And we probably have to remember as well
that Yuga is not in charge of Ape Chain or ApeCoin.
ApeCoin was the DAO.
ApeCoin will become ApeCo.
Yuga may be in charge of ApeCo,
but for all intents and purposes,
they are separate fictitious legal entities and
do their own things either side of what they're doing. Just because Big Daddy Yuga tells them to
do something doesn't mean they will do something. They probably will. But yeah, so ApeCoin has to
prove to someone that it's got all of this transaction volume, probably for the purposes
of keeping it alive and keeping it running, which is a good thing because that's where we all are but yeah it feels like
they're trying to focus on that and it kind of brings me all the way around to something
I've said before which is when you participate in Web3 for a specific reason,
in the case of most dgens, to flip and sell,
and you don't participate for the actual thing,
so say if there's a game, say if there's a community,
say if there's whatever it is,
if you don't participate for the actual activity,
then all you do is push towards zero. It'd be like i don't know i don't know if i can
whip up an analogy out of my head like you is like okay we'll use influencers you you and all
of your mates want to go and play football not so that you can enjoy playing football so that you
can take pictures of yourselves playing football and post it on Instagram and get likes.
And what happens then is none of you play football, none of you have fun,
and it comes across because all of your pictures are dry and dead.
They're just you stood around the pitch.
There's no action shots, there's no fun, there's no cool videos or stories or stuff like that.
So that's actually probably, I feel like that's a pretty good analogy.
They're trying to do a thing,
but the thing leads to people not doing anything other than creating on-chain metrics,
which shows that the chain's all successful and shit,
but is it actually successful?
Because the people who are actually participating
and are having fun and enjoying themselves
and doing spaces like this and conversing
and communing with each other don't get any notice because nobody turned up to take pictures of us. So
Jesus Christ, am I on a soapbox today? Have I have I tapped into the I don't know what I'm doing?
No, you killing it, right? You killing it you you in the zone, bro
You just in the zone I can hear for you spitting fire in the zone. We fucking love it. This is
This is Saturday now talk isn't it it bro i love this shit and this is um stuff that people don't ever i don't know why people
have like such a it's hard time speaking about this shit on space like i've been on spaces before
with like people are freaking out about like speaking about the early days of of like ape chain and
like what happened there like with with the whole the sneaker things that that fucking
everyone got upset about like bro you need to just talk about it get over it like that that's it like
this is what the people are saying this is what the people are thinking it's always like this like
in crypto it fucking it's always the whales that fucking eat
and then the small fish they get like little nibbles little nibbles little nibbles and
it's just because they've got the liquidity you know like i just feel you need to reward
people for showing up and it's it is hard it is hard to like like you say quantify that like how
do you quantify a lot of it and also metrics like taking notes of every person that's attending i
think ar will help with that i think they will get to a point of like and i've i've even thought
about it you know there's so like so many applications that should be built for for twitter
spaces already that haven't been built
like for example clipping there should be an ar that you put your space link uh your recorded
space link into and it will automatically clip the most viral moments like 30 second clips
like why why has no one done that that's not that hard to even vibe code i would say
another thing uh taking the metrics
because there used to be one i don't know what happens if maybe it's because the the x api is
kind of hard or whatever maybe they change it often but to just get the metrics of like who
are my most loyal listeners who are the people that listen to my space the most give me a list
of the 10 most and how many hours they've listened for like all
of that type of is useful data like that's that stuff there like it seems mundane and it seems
like oh why would you need that i think that's the key to like success in web 3 because then you
finding out who your strongest supporters are and you can cater to those people and therefore they'll spread the word
and bring more people in uh it's just kind of like this flywheel that you want to create
um but you know how do you do it without those metrics you're just kind of like guessing and and
that's where the problem becomes it almost feels like then favoritism because you see you kind of
maybe forget one person and i think that's kind
of what what maybe spotlight deals with is you they can't mention every project so they mention
a few and they have to just be very careful like which few they mention because i think that
everyone kind of wants to be mentioned so So have a good reason for mentioning those projects
and make them pay their dues as well, I think,
before spotlighting anyone.
I think new kids on the block, all good and well,
but what about the builders that have been out here
for like six, seven, eight months every single day?
And now some new kid on the block turns up
after like a week or two
and then uh the chain's promoting them that that doesn't feel good as like an old school builder
on the chain uncle mac i agree and i i had to i had to hold my my original thought because you
you did a little tangent to that um but it was a good tangent, which is, I think you posed the
question, why don't we talk about these things? Why do people find it so difficult? And it's part
of the fabric of Web3. And I didn't intend to do a pun, but I'm going to double down on the puns.
So it's part of the fabric of Web3. And it is a case of the emperor's new clothes.
If you've seen the,
if you've seen the,
you know,
the thing,
you know,
the story,
the emperor's walking around naked and he's saying,
doesn't my new robe look lovely.
And everybody's too scared to say,
Emperor,
you fucking naked,
bro.
Like we can see your balls.
And,
you know,
because he's the emperor,
you can't,
you can't tell the emperor that he's naked.
And then for the final pun is also, once you pull's the emperor, you can't tell the emperor that he's naked. And then for the final pun is also,
once you pull on the thread of this fabric of Web3,
then do things start unraveling?
So people stick to the status quo.
They don't tell the emperor he's naked,
and they refuse to pull any threads just in case the whole thing unravels.
But how then do we progress if we live in a sort of
um you know we talk about being in bubbles and echo chambers all the time it's it's it's not even
a bubble or an echo chamber like it's a it's a sealed room where like we're in the room and
everything is fine in the room and and everybody's slowly starving i'm i'm on one today i apologize
but yeah that's a good bit of an analogy um And then your final point was, yeah, people rock up on the chain and they get instant support.
But, you know, you'd be here for six months, eight months.
And you're like, you know, why isn't, here's a lightly veiled example.
isn't my uh flying pfp creature being promoted and or represented in official yuga uh las vegas
artwork and imagery that's a that's a lightly veiled one
yeah and i think to me it comes down to also like you go back in the chain right like i think that that's
like a thing like of like you you said it like apeco is a separate entity like we have to remember
that but but but like have some fucking conviction in your chain you know put put an asset put one
of your own assets on that chain what what asset does yuga have on the chain none
like to me that's weird to me that's weird like i just find that weird um and this isn't fud this
is just conversation it's just weird saturday now it's stone conversation but don't like don't you
think it's weird that a company launches but doesn't launch on't you think it's weird that a a company launches but doesn't launch on their
own chain it's weird it's weird it's strange but maybe they've got a plan for that maybe that that
that will change maybe it's maybe this is just like the start of it and and they are they are
planning on doing stuff like that i know that they have put shadows uh for the coders i believe on on
a chain which which which is nice but yeah it's it's just kind of they're strange things they're
strange things like i like for me like no one will speak like my first spaces of um of like
ape chain was like ghast i don't know if you guys know ghast.
Ghast was like running the spaces and it was,
it was good vibes.
And then I felt like it started getting a bit weird.
Like,
and that's when I tuned out because it just,
it felt very clicky.
Like the,
the people would go up on stage.
I would just fucking roast the person for no reason.
And you'd be like,
Jesus,
like that person
didn't do anything like they didn't deserve that and it kind of created like this hostile like
atmosphere and i think that turned a lot of people away from the chain um and we need to speak about
it because if you don't speak about it people think it's still like that that's the fucking
problem is that people don't want to speak about it like oh you know oh that's the truth i'm telling you guys now that a lot of people even said to me when i
first said oh you know i'd like to go on a chain they said oh but there's a lot of drama on the
chain and did you hear this and and i was like no like now it's different like vibes are so good on the chain and it's almost like we wearing this like
this like guilt from like what happened in the chain of like you know there was just some
because people are probably sitting there wondering what happened what happened there
was just shady shit on chain there was just shady shit with like mints and like uh you know
apparently like led people knowing metadata before
minting it was just like some weird shit that didn't go down well i don't know all the ins
and outs of it so i can't speak on it 100 but it went really down really badly with with with
the community but it changed it changed it the the now i'm telling you ape chain is banging it's amazing and it's it's
kind of like how nfts had a bad name you know and and now like nfts kind of there's mostly just
builders left here there's not a lot of scammers left like that's the majority like people aren't
launching a new nft every day like i remember there was a time when you could look on like uh what's it called the the the giveaway uh you could check the giveaway that's that's how
long i i don't even know what the giveaway tool is called anymore um but you could go check the
giveaway tool and every single day there would be an announcement of i swear i'm not joking if you're new to the space believe the shit up to 30 mints per day
nft mints per day being announced 30 per day and these are all like paid mints somewhere like
free mints and shit but it was like it was insane the amount that was coming out it was like
people were just pushing this shit out like like
it would like there was no tomorrow but you know it's it's kind of gone backwards right like now
that the people that are still here the people that actually want to build like you don't have
people here that are are bullshitting because like there's not much to gain right now from the nft
space so if you're still here in
grinding it means you believe in the tech you believe in the future of nfts and web 3 and you
want to build that's what it means to be here right now like if like if you fucked off like
pay special attention to the people that are still here because i promise you the minute that the
liquidity starts coming back you'll see they'll
all come running back acting like they never left like they always believed in nfts it's
it's so important for us to highlight that's where the spotlight should be in fact
like who's still here building in the depths of the when no one else wants to show up
the depths of the fucking when no one else wants to show up you know but anyway uh uncle mac sorry
back to you and then we'll we'll go we've got a couple of uh requests um we've got tater app as
well uh i want agents take as well um nick as well i'll i'll do a quick one and then we'll let
other people use their voices um i can also just do other people's voices
like if you want me to just do Teo's voice or Nana's voice
I can do pretty much both of them, bang on
I'll not do that right now, ask me later
yeah, you're right
about Geist
and I think that might
even be where Ape Chain
is a little tentative from
because they did put some backing behind
that show and it went
to shit.
You can
forgive them in a way.
That makes sense.
I didn't know that.
Because they had the Alpha
Bananas, right?
Alpha Bananas was like their
project.
Yeah, that was where all the dramas died and and there's probably even still
mountains of discussion to be like you know who who was more of a dick bag in that project than
the other um but yeah we could we could almost forgive ape chain for being
quite careful in who they are promoting and sponsoring and and spotlighting because of
what happened there in that situation um and that was so detrimental to the space because for
at least three weeks that's all anyone could talk about. So if in that three-week period,
people were shopping around to come and join a new chain
to maybe participate in Ape Chain,
they'd heard some good things.
They rock up over on Ape Chain Twitter,
and they go, this is a shit show, I'm out.
And they've just turned off, they're not even bothered anymore.
But then, if you were taking that kind of a consideration
so we're saying ApeCoin are being tentative
they're only promoting things that they trust and they know
then that makes you think, well then that by definition
is sort of a cabal, right?
so then we get back, we put the tinfoil hat back on
and we go, oh there's a cabal, and it's like, well there's not a cabal
it's just that we won't support anyone that we don't like or know i don't know does does that make a cabal anyway i'll stop
talking for a little bit yeah no bro you you i think you've got it spot on because like that is
kind of what a cabal is isn't it it's like a group of people who like i even kind of felt like you know with the green
pill collective which is something that i'm involved with 30 projects you know we all like
vetted projects uh sometimes i was feeling like at a point last week where i was like man you know
maybe this is too feels too much like a cabal because it's like 35 projects.
Like, you know, we vetting people to get in, which that I think is good.
That I think obviously, you know, checking, making sure that people aren't rugging and like basically extracting from the space.
Like that I think is good.
But at the end of the day, as soon as you centralize anything, which
is it, then it becomes a cabal, right?
And so I think that, man, it is hard.
And the other thing I think that you pointed out is that like, that was like the drama
of the chain for like three weeks.
And the difference is this, like this happens in web 3 every single day
like that's that's the difference it's like imagine this is the this is a good analogy like
living like living in in uh living trading on eth as nfts is like living in new york city so you see like murders all the time like
every single day there's a murder there's a there's a rape there's a a carjacking there's this
there's that so you get like used to it and it it doesn't become like big news but you go out
into like a small village which is basically a chain compared to eth or you know some of these
massive chains and you commit a murder there and the whole of the of the village is talking about
that murder that's like the news for the weeks on end but in new york that would just be another
another day you know another day in new york it's like basically like solana like bro a rug on chain fucking just another day on solana but i think that that's the difference
is like ape chain such a small close-knit community and that's where like i can almost
take positivity from that in a way because i'm like that's actually a good thing like that that
they like such a such a big thing was made out of that.
Because if nothing was made out of that, that would be a problem.
That would be a problem.
If the chain just moved on and no one cared.
But the fact that people still talk about it today and that it was such a big thing
means that the chain has a lot of integrity.
The chain has a certain standard because
i can tell you now people aren't talking about rugs that happened two three months ago on on
solana like bro because there's been probably about there was one today i heard pump fund the
liquidity was locked no one could sell their shit pump fund I'm fun, rugged everyone, so, uh, that's, that's all I'm trying to
say, is that, I think sometimes, also, like, we are, it's like a small village thing, you know,
at the end of the day, I, I think that is part of it, um, and so, that's why we should just talk
about it, and move on, do you know what I mean, because, like, this thing of not talking about it,
it's, it makes it so much bigger than it is it's
like fuck it bro there was someone who came they tried to extract they tried to rug uh you know i
don't know the full story but it was a bad story apparently and that's it the person's not here
anymore they're not constantly trying to rug people out the chains moved on and fucking let's
get it like let's pump ape chain on. Like forget about all that shit that happened before.
What do you say?
And I see you.
So you,
so basically you backing the ruggers here.
You saying that we should still hop on about that shit.
We should still not talk.
it's,
it's anything.
I was just like,
I was putting the thumbs down because no,
I mean,
clearly I don't know.
I don't keep tabs on anyone.
It's just become people have shared screenshots and stuff like that.
Like one of the two is still around, like commenting ridiculous stuff, like even saw like calling Sam and I known ruggers and stuff like that.
So since we're talking about this, I guess I'll say it right out loud.
Like James clearly has no life other than probably like I wouldn't be surprised if the other listener that's
anonymously here is James. Um, like he's, he's, he's blocked me. Uh, like, you know, he's, he's
come and attack us in so many different ways. Um, even, even as far as like in the screenshot,
I got, it was funny. The screenshot I got, uh, sent to me by someone, um, you know,
I respect in the space and I guess and I guess they're just looking out.
No shade, wasn't any shit talking or anything like that, just kind of asking what was going on, I guess.
It says something about, we're ruggers and everything, and the artists we have for Albatross, which, funny enough, he helped us find was, you know, is the only good thing.
But funny enough, about a month ago, he was calling out the artist for messing it up.
So we've had conversations with that artist and, you know, we even called them out where
we thought they were still, I mean, basically a lot of the things that were postponed at
the end were art issues, you know, and if that person was still linked to James, then,
yeah, I wouldn't, I mean, we took a different route at the end to even, like, finalize some
of the things with someone else that became friends that's been helping me out with something
personal, you know, nothing to do with albatross, just my own thing, but, yeah, I mean, like,
clearly, like, they're still around, well, I won't say both of them, but one of them is still around and has nothing better to do than waste their time to do other stuff.
You could just build or focus on the Alpha Bananas bot or something like that.
But since we want to talk about it, since people do want to be straight up, I'll call bullshit when it is. I've never been a rugger. I
never released another project. I did in 2022, I think it was. I started helping someone on a
project that was in the club, that was a doctor, that was a medical project. But we'd never even
launched that just because it was just not the right time for the market. Didn't get all the good signs.
As prior experience, I got paid for that apart directly from that person.
No rugging there.
Never made a cent off the community.
At least nothing like strong where we pushed anything and, you know, rugged anything.
Yeah.
I mean, it's facts.
You want facts?
You can go back and check it.
Like, you know, I mean, there's on-chain activity that was sketchy going on.
I was in some of those chats, too, where when you – it's funny because when you're new, when you think, when you're linking with people that are doing good stuff, you kind of start just playing into it because you're kind of like you don't want to, you know get outside of that cabal kind of stuff but stepping back you're like now that that shit was kind of like fucked up
you know so like i'll be transparent about it like yeah there was there was a lot of fucked
up shit that was going on and i i can only imagine like other stuff and other conversations that
people rather i i i'll be clear like i i think it's already been clear by other people's comments if you read between the lines.
No one wants to look into it because we don't know how deep it could have gotten.
And I'm not saying, I'm not throwing any shade.
I'm not saying it was on purpose.
It was just like they got support.
They got support and it was like, it was just so intertwined.
And this is just going back to like, I think what Uncle Mac was saying.
I think that's why it's cautious on who they're supporting now in the way they're supporting
which which is understandable because it did kind of take the chain kind of for i mean there were so
many spaces after that where it was just even topics that had nothing to do with that just
shade between up front i mean i if people remember it was like waves on waves and apes on apes
became an issue out of that
somehow that had nothing to do with the issue, but I mean,
it was just not good for the space overall.
It was not good for the chain because it, it,
although the trenches was a big part of it,
it wasn't like the only thing a chain had as value.
Like it wasn't the only community like that. And we've seen that.
We've seen that since like, you know, we've seen other strong community events other activations other like
spaces like are growing but um you can kind of understand also why the club is taking this
which i also don't don't completely agree but i i kind of see it i see the comparisons i would i
want to say one thing though gpcPC, that is not a cabal,
because to be a cabal, I'm pretty sure you have to do things secretly. And GPC is pretty transparent
as far as how they're rolling out and they're inviting other people. So it's like, that's just
being a community. That's just being a collaborative effort. But a cabal, I think,
is more of this like secrecy stuff
where you know you're putting one image out there and there's other storylines that that are actually
like being you know made from from maybe a group or you know a political party or a political group
yeah i think and and and and undisclosed undisclosed uh motives uh basically being played out um yeah i bro i i get it and
it's just it's they're like all of these little beefs i i just don't i just don't understand like
it it's just it's just because it's a smaller ecosystem so like there's nothing it's such a small ecosystem like i'm saying it's a small
village thing that i i just think that you know a lot of these issues should just be spoken about
uh like i like i've brought the thing is no no one speaks about it but everyone kind of knows
about it like i i wasn't really around too much to pay attention to
the vapes on vape and the apes on ape thing but even i saw it on the timeline so that means that
it like a lot of people saw it on the timeline but but no one wants to speak about that you know
no one wants to speak about like those those early days and all that shit bro that's
that's unhealthy bro it's very unhealthy to to not to not speak about that it's just like
bro you should have one mega space where everyone talks about everything and i promise you by the
next day everyone's over it and they move on uh but but the favoritism is is evident
but the favoritism shit is is evident um and maybe it is for for caution i i think that was a great
point uh that uncle mac brought up i think that was an amazing observation is maybe it is to remain
cautious but uh let's go to tater tater what's up bro oh man i came up that say great job agent and albatross on grinding away
I wanted to say great job to uncle Mac and Nana on the on the streaming on a stream on a stream a bro
I think you had streamception going on yesterday. So like why am I the one saying this to these people?
I'm not an ape chain
Person I'm just a person on ApeChain why do I have to
be the one acknowledging the people that are doing shit on this chain that aren't excuse my language
dick sucking founders of Yuga or supporters of the previous DAO okay I'm gonna lay this out now that I
came up here and said that I didn't come up here to rant I've been staying away from this space because I've had a bout of bad luck personally okay I tore an Achilles
tendon my dad's house caught on fire and they say it comes in threes so I've been laying fucking low
so that third one don't get me somewhere important okay it starts at the end of spotlight season one when a
Disproportionate amount of ETH name services names happen to start winning huge spotlight prizes
Which coincides with the ability to track down the winner and make a promotional effort out of their their win, okay?
Where's all the rest of the prizes as far as I know I only seen about 9 prizes get given out.
Everything was awesome, everything was on chain and right up until the end of Spotlight
Season 1 then all the distribution of rewards somehow just POOFED OFF CHAIN into the hands
of who knows the fuck who and who knows the fuck why.
Let's be realistic, I wanted that fucking other side gaming PC so I could
start streaming who the fuck got that nobody knows never seen who won it the
reality is I'm a math guy there was a disproportionate amount of people who had
identifiable name service names winning those prizes and the reason in my
mindset as a marketer would be so I can make an attempt to contact them get a hold of them and run some sort of promotion for marketing
Because God knows you can't give a prize to an anonymous person and benefit from the marketing of it. That's the first problem
Second problem the freshest kicks debacle James is a cunt that will never be denied he is very good at
hiding it because he utilizes the things that he can provide as a benefit to
others as an overwhelming shroud for the cuntiness that he has inside of his
person the problem with the freshest kicks is only James got punished
freshest kicks and bliver are both responsible for James having
that information and allowing him to be in a position to utilize it okay but it
was a hit job in my opinion because all they did was wipe out James and his
cuntiness and his banana pass and replace him with an aloe pass weird not
like taking out your competition and then fulfilling their exact role completely to a tee with a different name pass
Funny right so now we don't have
Anybody but James getting punished the trickle down fell on to geist
Because there are certain people that geist held accountable in this space that were better
Associated with the community of bored apes from the original mint than anybody else who bought
one after the mint started and after ape chain launched all the new apes that got fucking you
know the the boon of ape pumping and got into an ape all of a sudden became the cronies and the
dick suckers okay and all they did was say yes sir no sir whatever you want sir to all these people in the dow
and in a position of leverage to benefit them as their new holdership needs to be acknowledged by
those who have been here before or you're just a fucking nft holder what we forget is just because
you got an nft doesn't mean you're in the club you need to be accepted by the members in the club
to be a part of the club and if you you don't tell the line, you ain't.
Okay?
So the issue with the whole freshest kick shit revolves around unjustified punishment being allocated to the proper people.
There is a line in this community and none of you see it.
It's the blever side and the IO side.
If you're on the IO side, you're too close to reality and they don't fucking
like you and if you're on the blever side you're right up james from fucking gob and fucking
causes ass so your your your ears are closed you don't listen and you don't pay attention you're
just waiting for that next blever drop or that next that next thing that comes from the gobs that
wasn't supposed to ever have anything spawn from
it because gobs were just art never forget that now they're not they're a gateway to other mints
and a fucking bro a gambling ecosystem as a second season whoa whoa how am I gonna bring my kid here
for season two what the fuck benefit the season two have to anybody but speculators?
And Uncle Mac hit it right on the head. Speculators is what they want.
Because volume is speculation and speculation gets attention and attention makes headlines.
Bro, they're not here for what we are here for. There's builders on this chain
that have benefited the chain, that have not benefited benefited you got and they sit here mining for gold
all alone and
Then there are people who benefit in no way to the chain, but benefit the community like a like a charity or some sort of mmm
Let's just say
non-selfish air quotes non-selfish endeavor and that can be supported by
the chain on the benefit of the chain looking like heroes for doing it you see
how this works so that's the second issue that's that that all comes in with
the blever side and the IO side and you can look at it with the albatross mint
there's more value in the albatross and agent being associated with agent you
know you got 10 albatrosses
You could message agent get on his show talk about some of your personal stuff. You're doing, you know, he's consistent
He always shows up and he has a good crowd. That's a value to me, right? What's a tiger get you?
Yeah, anyway moving on number three
Number three, Uncle Mac, you're a great guy, but I think you're continually trying to get acknowledgement by creating something cooler than the thing you did before.
Uncle Mac you're a great guy
And I think that has a fucking timeline that runs out, sir.
I've not said you've hit that because I've loved everything you did.
I'm getting to the point now.
I loved everything you did so much that other people valued it more than I did.
So I had to get rid of it..e i bought that game you owe me a god you owe me you owe me a replacement
fucking npc but yeah no decent dragon wilds is dope love it my my my art you know my graphics
cards a little unoverwhelmed not gonna lie but uh yeah man and and that's the third one. The people who benefit the chain, unfortunately, don't get support from the top tier, right?
It's tier one is Yuga, tier two in the middle ground of no ownership is the chain,
and then tier three is everybody under the chain.
If you're in the middle ground, you need to benefit the top ground and the ground you're in,
because if you're in the bottom ground and you don't succeed through the chain up to Yuga, you don't get support back down.
That's all I have. Thank you.
Bro. Jesus.
That's what I call a fucking mass murder, that's what I call a fucking mass
murder, Tata, bro, honestly, bro, that's how you fucking spit facts, bro, Jesus, bro,
fucking spit facts bro jesus bro my phone's actually hot bro my phone's hot bro you know
the i don't know what happened but my perspective right i just want to quantify it no bro you just
you just said half of you said what everyone's thinking but what no one wants to say bro it's
fucking beautiful i'll tell you i'll tell you something just personally,
as soon as I let it be known that if,
if I won a fucking,
a mutant that I would actually sell it so that I could turn that money back
into products and,
and,
and supplies for my business,
I just fell right off the list,
man.
Yeah. And, and as, you know, I don't think that that's particularly fair. Uh, man yeah and
I don't think that
that's particularly fair
but Uncle Mac
I'm sure you have something to say
damn I don't have a soundboard
that can do a shots fired thing
I don't have a soundboard that can also
I feel like there was
a touch of tinfoil.
But it was tinfoil with evidence.
You can support
the tinfoil, I feel like that.
I don't feel
like the Tigers is warranted.
And we can just agree
to disagree or disagree.
I'm not saying they're not warranted.
I just think they get a disproportionate
attention for the $35,000
donation they've made.
Yeah, but I mean, and I'm kind of biased.
I like Don. I feel like
he also doesn't get
to be...
And he's fully up.
He's joined the club.
Bored ape status status but like you said
you know if you if you don't get invited to the let's quantify this uncle mac i can tell you why
i have an issue with don and it's a personal versus professional right so so i'm not a founder
of a charity but in my mind if i could acquire thousands of dollars of assets for my
personal self I would cut that number in half and make a personal donation to my charity I seem to
be more selfless than most people because I could never own a 6700 US dollar mutant ape and not
spend you not send three grand to the fucking bro my whole goal
So I have a charity that I want to launch it's for rhino conservation
But I'm not in a position to do it because I have none of the legals done you know about my pub sees
But like the whole thing is I'm zero profit on that entity
I just want the fame from being the founder of it that's my payment but like literally the pub sees as a self immolating entity that just
it's like supreme where we just put our brand on a bunch of crazy shit and
every time we sell that shit it benefits not just the rhinos but the
holders of the nft and like I just see why why do people why do you need to be paid personally and not pay back some to that that which provided you the payment of
Personal do you know what I mean like that? That's what bothers me
I would I personally don't think this the Tigers are in a good enough situation for dawn to own a board ape
Newton ape I could see it as a way to get an MBA
But it seems like driving a
ferrari when a fucking really good m4 would do
the the the i feel like the personal take is fine and i and i feel like we all do things in our own way. Me and Rick also disagree on ways to run projects as founders.
We had that chat in agent space the other week.
And I don't disagree with your points.
I feel like I can see what Don is trying to do.
I can feel what you're saying.
I probably exist somewhere in the middle of those two points of view as well.
I'm like, I can kind of see this thing being helpful but also i could sell this thing and give a shit ton
of money to charity like yeah i grew up in the unison and like and like even one one second just
let me just let me just like one my a great example of it is zads who purchased a mutant
so that i think he could get that extra leg up and I think that's
what you were kind of saying there like a mutant would do and in the case of Zadz a mutant has
done like he's got that and he's just done the NBA so like you do have to you do have to get the
secret decoder ring at some point and so I feel like Don's trying to trying to go like full secret
decoder ring for the benefit of his thing and we'll see we'll see if it works like that's the other thing as well like he's trying something yeah bro i just
want to quantify uh so i grew up in like the 80s and we had this charity called unicef and when we
used to go out trick-or-treating we would carry these little cardboard boxes around our neck and
we would trick-or-treat and people would like have a bowl of quarters and and and nickels and dimes
and they would donate to unicef
right and the thing was unicef was always these charities that claimed that they were saving
people in africa but of their ten dollar take like a dollar twenty went to the people in africa and
everything else got up got eaten up by administration and and management and printing of boxes and distribution and bro they bought
10,000 pounds of cotton yarn to make strings for a hundred grand
But you know like just it's like one of those things where a dollar fifty of every ten dollars goes to the charity
So I don't support UNICEF. So like that's it makes me gun-shy to support charities, right?
Uncle Mac, you got anything?
Yeah, I was in the British pause.
I was like, oh shit, I left it like two seconds too long.
Do I have to put my hand back up again?
No, I mean, I've said the same thing about charity probably my whole life as well like um but then but then when you think of it from the point of
view of like you kind of have to grease those palms you know if only 10 cents of the dollar
that you're giving to charity actually makes it all the way to the, to the people who need it. It does go on a long journey to get there.
And in some cases,
in some countries,
in some political situations,
like not even just the boxes that you're talking about,
you know,
the manufacturing costs,
like there's all the,
you know,
and yeah,
I'll,
I'll just kind of leave it there.
Like,
is it,
is it better that 10 cents did make it there
and and you had to grease all the palms and jump for all the hoops
or nobody donated and no 10 cents made it like it's kind of see and i think of myself as the
donator and if i'm only getting 10 cents to where it needs to do to be used i need to do better
Uncensored where it needs to do to be used. I need to do better
So that more gets there. What if I just instead of given a dollar and only ten cents getting there
I save until I have ten thousand dollars. I fly there for five and give them five makes more sense
Right, but we're dwelling on that one. That wasn't even an issue
That was just a comment in a personal like promotional sense the real issue is we went
from completely transparent on chain spotlight one to you have an awesome way to give out prizes and
they ignored that and then they handed out prizes to people with names they they didn't ignore it
they did use it one time on the coffee with captain show and then they didn't use it one time on the Coffee with Captain show. And then they didn't use it again.
So technically they didn't ignore it.
They just didn't use it again after they used it that one time to great success.
And no, the only reason I brought it up on the Tiger Point and Don is
I've been taught to not leave something stand if I don't agree with it.
So I just didn't agree with that, and I had to say I don't agree with it.
And I'm okay with that. I don't personally have an issue with Don.
Don, I have no perspective to judge how he makes his decisions, so therefore I have no right to judge his decisions but I can choose to not associate or hang out or be around or
support those decisions right that's my decision I like bro I just shifted to
another track I'm not gonna run into the back of Don's train causing him issues
I'll just get over on my track but we were talking about issues that I've you know that I've seen on a chain and I just use that as an
example he's not the only one either because clutch market seems to be
getting a huge shitload of stuff but uncle pickles raffle system for NFTs
where you could kind of you know got no attention
oh and I did like you point from before.
Actually, I can see RuggaDev joined the room,
and I think I mentioned it in a space the other day.
I even said, I was like, maybe we should have just,
you know, stopped at the gold mine.
Like, we made a cool thing.
Like, maybe things have a shelf life.
Like, they have a, you know, you do the thing,
we did the thing, and it was good.
But then I agree a you know you do the thing we did the thing and it was good but then i i agree you know we and it might even to be a like be to a fault of ours is that we do love web3 we do have nft technology like we like making smart shit like we like thinking oh what
if you did this and oh what if you combine that with that thing and then throw this in here for a little spice right you cook the best
dough in the world and you laid the dough out and then you were like let's
make an awesome sauce and then you made an awesome sauce and then instead of
just putting together it with you know with cheese and meat you were like let's
make sausage fuck yeah and then you're like let's make our own mozzarella cheese
fuck yeah and now we're in the fucking month five
and we ain't got a pizza well we got some really dope cheese some awesome dough
some really good sauce bro stop don't do veggies i ain't waiting
growing season for fucking veggies well the the analogy is more like um
we we the analogy is more like we bought a cheap pizza oven uh and we made homemade dough and we
went full homebrew pizza oven on the street you know we were selling pizzas for for you know one
dollar a slice um and then the last like few months that we've spent we've spent we spent trying
to jump through all the hoops we've we've had all of the meetings with everyone you can have a
meeting with with like we know all of the different products and things that we can integrate like
glyph like other page like this thing like trying to be in spotlight like and and then now we finally
have a plan where we can go
all right we know all these things now and we know what we can do so now we're making it so
it's not necessarily that we we made a sausage and we made this thing we made that thing and
there's still no pizza it's that we we planned we're planning quite well the second pizza so
we give you a really good pizza is our hope and we don't want to just turn up with the same pizza as last time either that's the other thing you know you can't you can't write the second
album and it just be the same as the first album even if everybody hates the second album you at
least have to try and write a new second album you can't just you can't you can't uh i'm trying
to think of a band who does it foooo Fighters. There's a perfect band. Every Foo Fighters album, completely different to last Foo Fighters album.
But distinctly Foo Fighters flavored.
That's what we're trying to go for.
Well, I think more what I was getting at is like all your ingredients are not off the shelf.
You know, you're from scratch and all this shit.
So you're combining a bunch of items that are from scratch which in and of themselves are all unique original items
But this is why I'm using the pizza analogy. We haven't even gotten to the point where you've
Combined all these into your penultimate right?
That's that's more what I'm getting at is like I can't wait to see what we get but don't keep adding ingredients
Just like let's try and make something with what we got now and see where we end up i love it bro this has been one of the best spaces so far um i'm fucking loving the conversation
just dope bro good good to speak about these things and makes you think, right? Just a lot of the points raised just kind of make you think.
Let's do a giveaway.
I do want to give away $50 in Ape.
I don't know if Macbeth has a sweater picket.
Yes, I do.
Yes, sir.
And we want a screenshot.
I want to see a screenshot of this winner.
$50.
$50.08.
How are we doing it?
How are we doing it?
Mute up, Mac.
Mute.
Mac, mute.
You need to do something quickly, bro. you need to do something quickly bro you need to do something quickly
you need to go
and at the top of your phone
go to there's the three dots
on the space go to adjust setting
is it there where's the
sound noise cancellation
never mind never mind never mind bro never mind we love the noise Sound noise cancellation.
Never mind.
Never mind.
Never mind, bro.
Never mind.
We love the noise.
How are we going to do this?
Should we do this?
I'll let agent decide.
Agent, should we do $50 straight to one person or $25 times two and make two people happy?
I feel like you should probably split it up just because it would be more fun i the conversation was good i don't know if you're
gonna start winding it like down but like no we don't have to bro we don't have to wind anything
down bro just i'm just gonna do a giveaway now i've still got a couple of other things i want
to give away as well so i want to get your take as well, bro.
You've been very quiet.
I want to get your take on what Tater said because to me, he killed it, bro.
I don't know from your perspective what your comments on that are.
if you want to give any you don't have to you don't have to no no i mean i think i think we're
If you want to give any, you don't have to.
You don't have to.
i've said it before in the morning space i think there's a lot of maturity that that is left to
like the the chain overall you know has to mature a lot um i like maybe i won't comment too much on
the stuff before but like taking all all everything that we've heard in consideration, it kind of does worry me.
I mean, this is why I'm very cautious about how I talk about Spotlight Season 2.
I know there could be opportunities going into it just because it sounds like
they're going to be doing the meme coin stuff.
But, I mean, we saw how a lot of collections, the outcome after Spotlight Season 1,
like if you weren't in that top you know, top 15, 20 range,
there was kind of a drop-off.
And if you look at some of those floors that were even in the Spotlight Season 1,
they're really low compared to where they were before.
So I don't know how, like, even if we bring the excitement through Ape Express
and what that change might look like and through clutch market uh one i'm i'm worried about who's going to be using this stuff
other than like are we really is it enough excitement to to onboard people that will
expand into like uh for example what uncle max is doing uh or or like what fox ffm is doing with
mobile game or or you know what or even if they're even going to transition
from the betting side into other side.
You know, like that's my question
because to me,
they're very different demographics.
Like the people that will be betting
than the people that we want to target
to really have long-term players in the game,
you know,
because you're talking about a whole,
whole different crowd
and my idea like or my vision was always like with the other side they might focus more on on the
younger crowd so i mean with with all this coming up maybe they have answers for that i'm guessing
i wouldn't sleep on the club i'm definitely not doing that like i i'm sure they have plans i'm
just worried about like where are these meme coins going to be? Like, you know, after spotlight season one, because they haven't been doing much like I mean, the Ape Express hasn't seen much movement. You said I think you were mentioning that you didn't even really know there or someone else I think mentioned it could be wrong. Maybe it wasn't you, but that they didn't even know there were meme coins on ape chain you know and that's i i do i
do like think there's potential mainly because and i always bring up the pudgies but like i mean you
see what me what they've done over there with meme coins there is activity and that has brought eyes
but i i've also heard i can't i can't bro, can I just be for you
I can't name one abstract meme coin
I can't bro
So they probably are
Doing some good stuff but I can't name one
But it's also I think
Because we're not
They have Red Spa
Which is abstract backwards They have a few actually They have Red Spa, which is absurd backwards.
They have a few, actually.
They have not, like, obviously, like, it's not like Solana, I'm sure,
like those kind of market caps.
But there's a lot more activity, I will say, than here, for sure.
And they have even, like, you know, different casino-style games.
That's the only thing that worries me is that I feel like I've gotten feedback
from really hardcore pudgy fans that they've even gotten away from abstract
because of the whole casino vibes.
So that's the one thing that kind of worries me.
It's like I know we're going for bringing more excitement,
more on-chain activity, which is huge.
And then also like, you know, the web 3D gens,
we'll be getting them over maybe from Solana and stuff like that,
or even maybe from AppStrike and other chains.
But will they transition into users for our dApps, for our games?
Will they be just cashing out and moving that funds to wherever they're coming from?
That's my question.
I know there's rumors of this overlapping into season three, maybe season three has more of that side of the answer.
So, I mean, I, I just would like to, to, I guess, understand what's, what's there more of the, like the long-term plan, but I guess that's part of the, the you know speculation and the excitement and jump into this i just at the moment i don't see what's gonna other than like the club or not the club but you
know that the quote-unquote cabal or whatever i don't want to be quoted saying that but uh you
know other than them hyping it like what is going to attract others to stay here that's that's kind of like what i'm wearing now because the spotlight
is look at those and look and i know i i don't want to look at floors but like even even some
of the founders that well let's let's let's do this let's do this let's do this agent you have
to onboard someone from abstracts to tell them right spotlight season two is on you should join
ape chain now's a good time like what where's your selling point right now me personally it
would be two different routes like if i'm if i'm doing it to other way three people i would focus
and i think there it is good highlighting the clutch market i think that's a good strategy
just because i haven't seen.
And funny enough, I even saw, I think, a different Pudgy person, like part of the Pudgy team, if I'm not mistaken,
saying that they wanted to see someone do something with Polymarket and like parlays and stuff like that.
So I would highlight that because I think there's potential there.
But also, like, I don't know how we onboard new users.
Like if you're going to bring on more people, like I don't know how we onboard new users like if you're gonna bring on
more people like i wouldn't i wouldn't even talk about balance i would talk more about like the
clutch like if if spotlight season two is the focus is clutch market i would keep my focus on
that and the benefits of the staking and you know uh like how how ape could be um you know potentially
good for their brand their you know their business in the long run
if they're onboarding users I mean there's it would be a little bit more of depending on who
you're trying to target like for example through albatross we've talked about IRL as the alpha
well here in Bolivia not so many people are really willing to bet their money away but the staking
side is very attractive especially when no one here wants to trust banks that much just because of the economic situation.
So that would be a major selling point.
And I actually had a great conversation with Simple Farmer about that and how that would
be a great way to onboard people that obviously maybe don't yield or don't trust banks at
all in traditional sense and then know, onboarded that way.
So there are benefits here.
And even the long term, you know, just if you're releasing a game or want to bring new users or want to build a community around something like building on others that I think it could be potentially good if you play it both ways.
I think it could be potentially good if you play it both ways.
Like if you build a gaming guild,
I don't think there's enough people focusing on that stuff because they're
going to push this stuff.
So I've been looking at how to onboard for like a while now because we've
been trying to figure that out with Sam.
And I just don't like if we're going gonna push casino vibes and people start taking L's
I'll say that's what pushed me away from abstract that's why I've been here is because of the casino
vibes so I don't know I don't know how I feel about this like I'm I'm I'm kind of in the same
boat as like Uncle Mac where I mean I'm gonna stake a little but I'm I don't know if this spotlight
season two really attracts me like I might like know if this Spotlight Season 2 really attracts me.
I mentioned this morning, I might look at some meme coins where I'll get in and maybe take some profits along the way.
To be completely transparent, just because I have the NFTs from before and I've looked at my wallet compared to when I got a lot of those, I'm down bad because of Spotlight Season 1.
And then no shade, no shade. It's just, it is what it is.
Yeah, it's part of the game, right?
But I think that when the game is just so obvious,
like, bro, who's holding a meme coin on Ape long term?
Maybe it's a good investment.
Maybe now is a good time to get in on a meme coin on Ape. Who know maybe maybe it's a good investment maybe now is a good time
to to get in on a meme coin on ape you know who's to say it isn't but
just looking at spotlight season one and what happened to to the flaws of some of these
projects was all fun and great and it's almost like putting lipstick on a pig right it like
looks good for a while and and's like, wow, amazing.
But eventually that lipstick wears off and then what are you left with?
You're just left with a pig.
So I think that improving the actual ecosystem should be at the heart
of the spotlight.
And does this improve the ecosystem maybe uh who knows you know we we're just asking questions here no one's no one's out here we
we're giving different perspectives different takes uh and that's what i like about it you
know that everyone should be able to to their own opinion. But now, very important.
Speaking of Ape, 50 Aperunis for 25 times 2.
So $25 to one person, $25 to another.
The first winner of that Ape coin is...
And that's just the point we're not here fighting because why would i be
giving away something that um you know i'm i'm literally like supporting you it's just we we're
trying to we're trying to come up with ideas and plans and that's how growth happens okay so mac

some revenue going for for the projects and then we we've got um good old crypto bullies working on the dap
getting close uh we've got the artist working as well so we we've come a long way in just over a
month and i can't wait to see where the rest of the year takes us any calls to action from you

uh you know fun talks with uh sam today uh and and yeah we're gonna keep going guys so uh get
used to us as many of you probably have uh sorry my little ones like wants me to like say some
stuff but i did want to comment one thing, not really a call to action.
Macbeth, you do a killer job.
I would love to have a co-host like that that actually speaks,

So, no, you killed it.
You killed it.
You even run giveaways.
Like, man, you're super.
It's all love, though.
Sam, I know he's down there

was some good takes interesting chat today that i mean we need to have more of this talks so um
yeah no matter who you agree with or
more often oh i don't know if you i don't know if you see i don't know if you see what i'm seeing
it's a crypto bullies he's in the house ladies and gentlemen we are happy to see you bro how's how are things how's it going from uh streets to new york i literally just walked into my house
bro been outside i'm in the parks with the kids walking up and down the fucking ross i'm tired
like a motherfucker drained you know carrying my little one on my shoulders and shit for miles and miles
but uh lily just walked through the door and of course i jumped on x so you guys still had this
space running up and i had to pop in here so what's good everybody shout out to everybody in
here ape chain on top me and sheila club on top up next you already know
i see some legends in here of course shout out to rickstar shout out to my man mac speaking of mac
we got uncle mac we even got tater patine this i even see nana what's good nana and the other guy
uh we're just not gonna talk about the other guy um no shout out to you agent too it was good all the listeners
down there uh definitely full panel of legends up here as well bro i i literally like everything's
good bro i can't complain um you know just going back to to uh the summer you know how that goes
you got to get the routine going uh otherwise you kind of miss out on the whole summer if you got
kids you understand that you know you're going straight from like kids in school all day scheduled to the summer and you
don't want to waste the summer so just kind of figure out a nice routine uh me i work from home
so like that much kind of stands stays the same you know obviously running the business and then
running pixel piles and all the other dev related shit I do and web three. It's very
demanding of my time, but it's consistent, regardless of the school year or not. So it's
really just trying to figure out, you know, with the extra time for the kids, how do we, you know,
how do I personally allocate a good portion of time to make sure they're having the best
summer they can. All right. So here we are, you know, it's a Saturday,
had a good day outside with the kids. Uh, before that I was in the house,
doing some dev sessions, uh, and, and a couple of spaces here and there.
And then, uh, now I'm back at it. So, uh, we're cooling down,
literally the kids that they're cooling down and, uh,
and so am I and just wanted to lock in with child for a little bit,
but what's
good man what did i miss it sounds like i was about to wrap up and i think that's kind of
consistent with about the time i jump into uh the good morning ape chain space too every time you
guys wrapping up so uh hopefully i'm not uh disappointing anybody but with uh my tardiness
here yo tater i miss you brother how the hell you been i feel
like it's been so long good good good you know well good is relative to perspective um
my worst is not somebody else's worst but i'm i'm still around
how's you yeah yeah yeah i'm good man again i'm just trying to cool down a little bit and get the
kids ready for bed you know but they're also cool now so i mean you know what it is i'll be i'm like
a drive by uh visitor for the space right now i'll just say but very pleasant to see you guys uncle
mac shout out to you with the goobs and all that stuff going uh seeing those drawings my man is
doing live streaming and everything while on Spaces,
keeping you guys up to date and informed on everything he's doing with that conversion from Google Loops to Goobs.
I'd still want to know what they're going to do.
I don't know.
I have a feeling they'll have some sort of value add to the next season of The Mine.
Who the fuck isn't excited about The Mine?
100% ready for that.
And, bro, look at the look at the host look
at the co-host bro if you don't know about msc you need to know you need to find out you need to go
listen to every recorded space from every single saturday from 2022 to now uh it's been consistent
shout out to rickstar shout out to max shout out to me uh we bring we're bringing some
vibes bring some transactions to ape chain and uh i can't wait i really can't wait and you already
know we got we got a bunch of things cooking spotlight season two is here for the devs for
the builders uh there'll be a big focus on uh the builders in this season we've we've heard a lot
about that definitely uh tune into dutchies uh space as well We've heard a lot about that. Definitely tune into Dutchies
Space as well. They had covering a lot of that. We had some really good guests
Members from the team as well a chain team who came and kind of spoke to what they can't I think that there was a little alpha spilt here and there
so much so that loss had to come and
grab uh so much so that loss had to come and and and grab ngb off of the stage uh like almost literally
so yeah brother there's definitely alpha out there uh shout out to clutch as well with simple farmer
and he's got a lot cooking but i'm excited bro i see everybody cooking man i see everybody chopping
it up and uh ape chain vibes is up is up up up. That was the whole conversation tonight was like,
is the spotlight season two focusing on the right part of Ape Chain?
You know, I think a lot of people.
I know exactly what you're going to say.
And I don't want to cut you off, but allow me to interject.
We've seen how season one played out.
And I think a lot of the overall community concerns was one was like kind of the lack of transparency about the selection for winners and stuff like that.
Kind of there's a lot of questions in the air about like
the legitimacy of how things were distributed. And this is coming from an unbiased, like,
I was awarded things being ranked 17, you know, on the personal one being ranked 12.
And the project one like I got I got this M2 that you see, you know, my PFP, and another deed as
well. So 100% like, you know know this this is not like me defending anything this
is more saying i know as a community we kind of want it a little bit more than just like the whales
game that kind of occurred in season one and then a little bit more transparency regarding distribution
so you know from what i gathered the team is very focused on season three, addressing those issues and those concerns.
And and while working on that in parallel, kind of shining a light on the builders on Spotlight I guess, more people, more, more, uh, wallets,
more volume, and just attention on ape chain is going to come from, you know, new things kind of
distributed on the chain that isn't, that is consistent with what people's expectation is
with web three, but also just isn't happening here now right so that
might be you know clutch markets that might be uh ape express or even ape church um and everything
else just kind of being cooked right now or has already been available but hasn't really gotten a
lot of attention right when you think about meme coin um culture you know we think of ape chain as primarily nft focus community focus just like that
culture uh because you know it was derived from uh arguably the the most culture rich nft project
you know since since the inception of nfts right like with yuga and Vored Ape. And, and I think with that kind of rolled into ApeChain
being like, you know, a culture rich NFT focus chain, but the, you know, if you really want a
lot more, you know, volume, a lot of that is going to be coming from other DeFi protocols and, and,
and shit coin and alts traded on, on ape chain. So, um, I truly do think
that there's going to be a huge effort. I think that was alluded to as well. And a couple of
spaces I've been on in the last week, you know, Cocos came up, talked about a lot of that, uh,
Rida and a whole bunch of other people, but ultimately it's like this, this season is going to focus a lot on the the tools and and the cool like daps that you can
like tap in with that that uh open up to everyone not just like centralized to one community or
whatever uh but focuses on offering a service or some some kind of value add for people on the chain
uh that that is intended to really increase the onboarding
to people on a chain but in addition to that tokens so you're going to see on your timeline
if you haven't already more and more posts about meme coins that probably been out already on
Apexpress or um new ones you know that people pop up on a chain and uh and that's going to get a lot of support
a hundred percent you're going to see nft projects that's kind of been in the shadows building um or
building just not getting a lot of love starting to get love from like the ape coin intern and
stuff like that um publicly because you know they want people to feel like they can come here to build they want people to feel like they're going to get support and i truly think that makes sense like in the
interim if they know they have problems to address for season three and they want to give themselves
more time but they don't want to delay spotlight allocate a season in the interim to focusing on
the things that we know we also need in the meantime right and that
that's things to drive people here right like what what sets why why build here right or why
trade here if you're first getting into crypto if you've been in crypto for a long time why come to
ape chain right if you let's say you don't care too much about nfts but if you don't see the value
of trading an nft or trying to mint an nft that
might not even mint out because the price expectations for mint is so low because let's
be let's be real the community has set this low expectation right we like we look at our
charts minting at 33.8 but whatever the case may be and it's like dude like why not support that
right like but you'll support other projects that
kind of meant that that price because you know there's there's a cabal of people who support
you know yuga you know centric uh uh creators and founders for example um that that you'll you'll
kind of follow behind right and that that seems to be the case where you don't question the price if
you think there's an opportunity to flip because the share of voice is really high we talked about this
on your space the other morning agent um but it's true let's be real right like that's a real
concern so you know if that's not a main driver because people feel like hey like
I'm really true it's like penny stocks right if? If you think about NFTs, well, why not,
why not give them something else
that they can look at in the meantime,
whether it's parlaying, you know,
through this mediation platform,
would you do a clutch, right?
Clutch Mark is very much just kind of like
allowing you to participate in like polymarket-esque
and directly polymarket, but using ApeCoin, right?
So you can do things like that, or you can do shit coins and directly polymarket, but using ApeCoin, right? So you can do things like that,
or you can do shit coins and focus on driving, you know, the value of the tokens that's already
been around or just support new token initiatives. You know, I think it makes sense. So, I mean,
I do want to hear your opinion, but I've been hearing a lot across like the last couple of
weeks on this leading up to just some of the announcements
that that's been a little bit more clarifying as to what to expect i gotta say i support it i think
it makes sense unless they have a real solution for the two main concerns the whales game and the
fair distribution of funds like transparent distribution of of prizes and all that stuff
um i think they just give them time to work on that for season three and
focus on this stuff season two i think i think it does help the chain but definitely let me know
i i think that like the biggest concern from from people and you know well i might be speaking out
of turn here but i think that it's just that like you know you like this was my point earlier
you need to kind of support like the community itself like the people that are turning up every
day like a good example like spaces hosts and and that type of thing but then it got brought up that
very early on they got burnt doing that so um you know there's been some good points and and i like
your your point at the end as well because it just rounds it off very nicely you know, there's been some good points, and I like your point at the end as well
because it just rounds it off very nicely.
You know, we've heard different takes on pro versus against
and some of the problems.
But I think it comes down to, like, the end user.
Like, does Spotlight Season 2 benefit the end user?
And if the answer is yes, then it's a good thing.
If it doesn't, you know, then, then it's kind of like you, you can, you can build all you
want, but if people don't know, like what you're building, like no one gives a shit.
So it's like these, these people that are like hosting spaces every day and keeping
that board ape culture that we all speak about alive like by doing these spaces they they
need to get rewarded somehow like i feel like that's like the heart of of ape chain that's the
thing that attracts me the most and i think it's probably the most sellable thing about ape chain
is the community and these spaces that that we kind of all jump in together uh like this like like just you know it's just different it's cool i enjoy it um but
yeah a crypto bully is good take i like it because it's just a different side of of what we were
speaking about uh you obviously pro pro uh this season this new season and that's good to hear
we need we need you know both sides of of the thing a lot of people saying that they don't really care
They're just going to keep building irrelevant of what season it is
I don't know if it's going to be so like betting focused as people think I don't know what your take on that is
but a lot of people thinking that it might
possibly go in the way of like being a casino type of vibe, which would probably turn a lot of people off.
But maybe that's maybe that's wrong.
Maybe that isn't where they're headed with it.
I don't know, man.
I'll tell you, like, so I got access to Ape Church.
Right.
And I think, you know, it's definitely like i got last night right and
playing around with some of like the games there that are available it's very like you know um
i guess uh vegas-esque right you kind of like go there you're gambling and so on um but you're
putting your ape chain up you're playing these different games you know you're being a d-gen you know d-gen responsibly but ultimately those
shit is on chain right so you think of like a soul casino type situation give me a second
yeah um yeah i look i i i think that like the there are a lot of DGens in the space,
but I don't think everyone's a DGen.
And that's kind of, like, where maybe this season is more for the DGens
and then the next season might be more for, like, community, right?
It's more community-driven, rewarding community events and shit.
But you also write on and and i said it
earlier i think that that's a big part of it and uncle mac kind of said maybe not i think that like
a big part of it is the money thing is like the financial side of it like can yuga kind of also
pump their bags a little bit with with the season by promoting these meme coins and
i guess if it's on their platform and and and it's creating volume you know it is so think about the
structural changes like infrastructurally like this whole chain was essentially you know governed
by a dow right and then that dow who more times than not didn't show up to
vote for some of the huge opportunities for the chain showed up in abundance to vote against
using the doubt and and in support of just handing over the keys to a team at yuga right just give
like delegate a team who's going to make the best moves for the
best interest of this chain and i think you know as an investor most people don't really want to
be too involved with some of the decision making right like how often are you voting for something
like if you're in stocks or whatever the case may be think about some of your biggest investments you might have outside of web3 you're not really looking to make some
decisions you want to be able to put some money here and trust the team to to do something that's
going to yield you a positive roi and at the moment you got to kind of like get involved with
some of the voting and the decision making it it really does
hold up a lot of the potential for the chain right in terms of the growth in terms of the the pivoting
they might be able to make and uh and be blocked because of a vote not passing so i'm bullish i
think it's a huge positive change for the chain i think uh a lot of people will
look at you know ape chain naturally as hey this is just like a yuga kind of thing to feed yuga
and the holders and ecosystem i don't see it that way i really don't just much like you know you
think like abstract for example um you can kind of say it's a byproduct of pudgy penguins just because like
luca and all that other stuff but ultimately like it's kind of the same situation here right like
ape chain is a byproduct of of uh of yuga and board apes and so on but ultimately it doesn't have to
be centered around um or date right i think even maybe gargoyle cam i forget who it was
don't quote me on it but somebody one of those guys made it made a comment about maybe like
somewhere down the line even wanting to rebrand and like call it some other chain or some like
that because they did want to move away from like the notion that this is like like board apes chains
type situation right because like the good and the bad right, like board apes change type situation, right? Because
like the good and the bad, right? Like there's always going to be some sort of bad reputation,
uh, where the chain, uh, performance is going to be kind of shadowing the, uh, the board
ape, right. Or vice versa. I might be mixing it up but essentially whatever the performance is a board eight as an NFT asset uh will you know the fluctuations there will have
an impact directly of this chain and like nobody wants that right like you you want to decouple
it you want to allow it to have its own you know road for success and runway uh and I think
separating decoupling maybe even rebranding somewhere down the line makes sense and
we'll see what they do but I I think trading like if people want to come here make money bro in
other ways other than just nfts that's really what it comes down to you want to create a casino
create a casino you want to have meme coins give people an opportunity like you might not want to
be focused on mcs but like create an opportunity for other
people to, to see that there are other ways to make money here and in abundance, if they all come,
then those things can be successful with or without you as an investor, you know?
Yeah, I think that that's something that we don't really think about. Like we always,
and, and someone brought it up earlier,
is that they are a separate entity at the end of the day.
It's not Yuga.
They are a subsidiary of Yuga.
So, yeah, good points.
I don't know if anyone has anything to say to to to what crypto bullies said up here on stage tater uncle mac agents
Of anything you wanted to reply back?
To to the comments. Yeah, I don't think this is crypto bullies
There was no sirens in the background
I don't know man. This seems like AI this might have been an AI version of crypto bullies. No man good to hear you good take
We know it. It's about the builders and the people in the back end, right?
The front end is just the billboard, but you know when people walk past the billboard it needs to not be directly
associated with board ape or else
Your exclusion from the club will imply that you're excluded from the benefit, right? So that's where you have to, you know, ape co, ape chain, but I think you're not wrong.
Igloo Inc. is the controller of the entity for the Pudgy Penguins.
You know, it's not really the Pudgies that do it.
It's a different brand under, you know, like they're, bro, Igloo Inc.
Nobody ever looks into it right they have
three entities under igloo inc one of them is pudgies one of them is a production company
and another is a distribution and marketing company so a lot of people don't understand that
like that's how it's gonna go and i think board ape is at two phases of three like igloo inc is
because they've just now decoupled ape chain from
Apecoin but took it back from the Dow so now you have like two tiers now they just have to work on
the distribution and marketing like pudgy does because the pudgy ecosystem does not imply that
you need a pudgy to benefit from it but the board ape system somewhat does it's weird it's a weird
dynamic but I like your take crypto bullies that's all i gotta say
uncle back
um tater brought up the concept of a billboard um and i pinned it up earlier it's been it's
been on the top i forgot to ask permission i apologize um but yeah it's exactly what i said
there's a billboard uh and there's some things on the billboard and if you're not on the billboard I forgot to ask permission. I apologize. But yeah, it's exactly what I said.
There's a billboard and there's some things on the billboard.
And if you're not on the billboard, how are you meant to feel?
That's kind of my final thing.
And hello, CryptoBillies. Lovely to hear from you.
Even if you are a Stepford Wife replacement,
because obviously there's no sirens, so it's not you.
So it's all been toned down
I'm just kidding man good to hear from you. It's fucking hilarious, bro I'm like a hundred percent my windows closed right now. I got the AC beaming
On the way over here. There was definitely sirens galore, but I wasn't on a space
You know how it goes man, I know it's on and off. It's on and off. But uh, yeah, if it helps
I'll definitely play
like some youtube uh you know soundbite backing track yeah backing track just to make us feel
comfortable just imagine uncle mac showed up speaking american bro would you think it was
uncle mac i don't know man my man throws on a couple different accents i would probably uh
bet yes i would bet yes shout out to down there. I know my man's working hard
Is that agent? Oh no, no, no
Agent agent comes up here, bro. Did you know I remember one time I jumped out of space
Everybody was calling him crypto bullies and I was like, what the hell?
Yo, he had this size bump crazy
There you go, rick there you go
had to be done bro it had to be done okay this is bullies nice to see you man
yeah they that's that's actually bullies right there see yeah if i'm outside with the dogs you're probably going to hear the sirens if if the windows open in the morning or the afternoon
you're going to hear the silence right now
if you know it's really gotta be some going on you know i mean like eight o'clock on a saturday like nah if people are trying to wind down a little bit or just partying outside i don't know
but anyway yes yes yes do you see do you see how my ai has been been trained to come up with excuses for why there's no sirens.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
You got me with that, bro.
Well, Monday, it all kicks off, guys.
Monday, the madness starts. I hope that you guys are ready.
Spotlight season two.
Yeah, it's going to be crazy.
Well, if it's like the last one anyway and you don't have to
participate you know that's that's a beautiful thing you can just keep showing up to gma chain
and nothing in your life will change but if you do want to participate options there um but yeah
guys let's uh let's wrap it up. Thank you guys all for showing up tonight.
Really appreciate everyone.
Got loads of shit cooking with Crypto Bullies.
We're speaking about a few concepts today.
Very excited about that.
Yeah, bro.
We won't spill too much, but there's a lot coming for MSC.
So guys, keep those seatbelts strapped because you're going to need them.
And then also, I wanted to say that if you want any prizes, please either send Mac your
wallet or open a ticket in the Discord and tag myself and Mac, and we'll get those out
and we'll get those out to you ASAP.

Won't be tonight.
Will probably be tomorrow.
Will probably be tomorrow.
But yeah, we're going to wrap it up with an absolute banger,
old school MSC track.
If you don't know this one, yeah, this is like proper, proper old school.
Here we go. We don't run we don't run
We don't die
Give a tape, we don't lose
We don't die, too late
Soon it's not sweet, bad at night
Soon it's come, bad at night
Too late, but we come
We don't die so that
Don't stay hurdy-tah
Lot of fun, hit a few kills, yeah we laugh
End up shooting like it's cool, can't play around, lay him down
What does Toom say? Shorty wild, never seen a dog in a mood, same rolling up
Showing love, coming from the club, lot of girls, little skirts, belly, shoulder up
Gang gang, make him notice us, if he fly'm here to fan channel, get the photos up Holy fuck, double club got my feet wet, dirty cold shooter till the break
Gotta raise that, he sweat, cuz he dancing up a sweet peak
Animate, wrist whipping up the CDs, honey dogs
You and she was in the V-C, coming through and move over nigga, baby
She was calm, night night, night too late, we don't run, we don't die
We don't care, we don't love, we don't die
I pulled me, I think it's on something
I think it's on something
Eyes falling off like a slide in a car
And it might run off, but your life don't cross
It bite in a bargain and stay on target
And fight like Mike and it's green like Hawkins
If I know right, then the chain comin' off it
You want it on sight, so you better stay cautious
Y'all don't wanna die, light down like a carcass
Put it in the light, got slime fallin' off it
Mutants on the rise gettin' fly like rockets
Wouldn't wanna try no kind of metamorphic
You don't wanna climb that higher better orbit Thank you.
