It's a problem.
What can you do?
Again, guys, you've got to understand, you've got to understand that your time, your energy
and your money all are, they control the whole space.
They control the whole space.
It doesn't matter how funny you are, it doesn't matter how sexy you are, if you don't got,
if you don't have time, money, attention, energy, then you're not going anywhere.
Those things rule the space.
So many shitty projects have gone to $1,000 floors, $10,000 floors, $15,000 floors because
of bullshit promoted by a group of influencers that are all getting paid and working together.
Now, a lot of you know this is real.
I know that.
A lot of you understand that this is going on.
It's just so important that going into this new year, you're hyper aware of it because
the last thing you need to be doing right now is operating on any sort of autopilot.
You cannot be operating on a mental autopilot right now.
You're going to get, you're going to get wrecked.
Have you ever been driving on the road and you snap out of it for a few seconds and then
you snap back in and you're like, holy shit, how long have I been driving like that?
You know what I'm talking about?
You're driving down the road and then you snap into it.
You're like, holy fuck, for five minutes I haven't even been, I don't even know where
the fuck I've been.
Guys, very easy to fall into that.
That's called an autopilot, okay?
Very easy to fall into autopilot.
And what happens when you're in autopilot?
You're not vigilant.
A deer runs out on the road, you're hitting it.
There's a tire from a semi truck, you're hitting it.
Some bird is flying at you, you're hitting the bird.
You don't see obstacles coming your way.
It's the same thing with Web 3.
You can't be operating on autopilot right now.
You're on autopilot, you're going to buy a rug.
You're going to get socially engineered, you're going to get walked off a cliff, you're going
to get passed, you're going to get fucked.
So caffeinate yourself.
Don't do downers.
Do uppers.
I'm talking, don't pop perks, don't smoke weed, don't do dab pens, don't eat edibles.
Don't get hammered every night, you're fucking up the whole vision guys.
Do caffeine, do Adderall, that's it.
Do a little bit of nicotine if that's what you want.
Be up.
Be alert.
Be focused.
It's not the time to be fucking around.
Because that wag me cabal, that influencer cabal, that junkie cabal is getting ready.
They see that $20 bill in your pocket, and they're thinking, man, what can I do to take
that $20 bill out of that guy's pocket and put it in my pocket?
Everybody's thinking about that right now.
Everybody.
You are thinking about it right now.
You may not realize it, but you are.
Realize that everyone in Web 3 is a scammer.
Everybody.
I'm talking to you right now.
You're a scammer.
Do you know why?
Because if you make money in crypto, if you make money in NFTs, if you make money, you're
taking it from somebody else.
Someone else is losing because of you.
You make $100, someone lost $100.
So realize that, guys, this is PVP.
This isn't just merry-go-lucky, you round the corner, Uncle Sam, Joe Biden's giving out
stimulus checks, money from the fucking sky.
Those stimulus checks, guys, you're paying for them right now.
There's no such thing as free money.
You know how you're paying for all those COVID stimulus checks, which, by the way, I didn't
get because I was a non-dependent or some horse shit.
I didn't even get one.
I'm paying for the price for them.
Those COVID stimulus checks, every time you go into the grocery store, shit is fucking
three times as expensive now because of all that stimmy stimmy.
There's no such thing as free lunch.
There's no such thing as free lunch unless you're in this community where we give out
free shit every day.
So I guess there is a free lunch.
But when you make money in crypto, fam, you are literally taking it off of somebody else.
When you make $100 off of an NFT, some other schmuck is losing $100 at the end of the day.
They're losing something at the end of the day.
So don't be going around thinking that this is all merry-go-lucky.
We're all having fun here.
It is PVP.
The person next to you who says that they're your friend, who says that they have your
best interest in mind, who says that they love you, God forbid, because people say
that shit, I love you guys, you know, that same person has a screwdriver sharpened into
a shank ready for you to turn around so they can stab that thing in between the sapium and
the L2 bone of your spine.
They will backstab you.
Realize this, guys.
There are people that are sitting in group chats and Discord calls laughing about how
much money they're going to rinse from you right now.
They are not just plotting it.
They are laughing about it.
They're putting their hand in their pants.
They're touching themselves to it.
They get off to it, yo.
At the highest level of this game, when it comes to scamming and scammers and wag me cabal,
it's not about money anymore.
Or, it's, it's, they literally get off to scamming.
They get off to it.
Like, it's, it scratches this weird itch.
It scratches this fucking psychological, sociopathic, psychopathic itch that they get satisfied for
scamming you.
It's politicians get satisfied for fucking up the country.
What's going on in California and Chicago and New York, these politicians, they're getting
paid, but it's more than just money.
They're getting, they're this weird, they're psychopaths.
They're, they're destroying the United States and they're loving it.
These people hate humanity.
These influencers hate you.
I just want to say a small story real quick that kind of like ties to all this.
All right, and so do I, and so do I.
But I have the mute button.
That's the difference.
So, so you guys need to understand that moving forward, trust nobody.
You cannot trust anybody.
I'm serious, guys.
I trust two people.
I trust my parents, 100%.
From there, it goes down.
Some of you can't even trust your parents.
Luckily, I can.
But if you're lucky enough, those are the only people you can trust 100%.
And then family, sometimes family.
Dude, there's family members, bro.
They're not even at, they're like 99.9.
And then your best friend, guys, your best friend's 95%.
Guys, some of your best friends, if you left them alone in a room with your girl, they'd
try something.
Like, I'm serious.
Couple, couple fucking Jack Daniels, you left them alone with your girlfriend, they would
try something, yo.
I'm serious.
That person you think is your best friend is waiting for a chink in the armor, a crack
in the door.
Or, you know, you got a $20 bill sitting out in your dress, a nightstand, there's a big
party going on.
They're slipping that $20 bill in their pocket.
Be vigilant.
It's life.
It's life.
Now, if you're lucky enough to find people around you that you can trust, you're in for
a treat.
You're very lucky.
Very rare.
Very, very rare.
There's not many people.
I've been very, this account has been extremely fortunate to network with some really great
people.
And I've had to go through so many shitty people.
Books knows the exact same thing.
Books and I have a very similar story in Web3.
Actually, Books and I have almost an identical storyline in Web3.
It's almost scary how identical our storylines are.
But there's a reason, yo.
Because now Books and I have realized, oh, this is what's good.
This is what's bad.
We're both here to get fucking paid.
We're both here to make change.
We're both here to grow.
Let's team up.
Shebo was like, Shebo was like always there, always fucking there as a G.
And opportunity came out.
We needed a morning space.
We said, who's smart as shit?
Who's good on the mic?
Who's funny as fuck?
Shebo, boom.
He's on board.
You know why?
It took him two years of not being a piece of shit and never taking an easy backstab for
that opportunity.
Now look at where he is.
So build trust.
Stop being a piece of shit.
Stop turning on people for five bucks, guys.
You're going to be on earth for, I don't know, 100 years.
You're going to be on earth for how many?
I don't know.
Maybe you've got 30 years left, 50 years left, 70 years left.
Your five minutes of fame, your $20 bill for turning on somebody is never worth it.
I'm telling you, even if you're broke as shit, go steal a loaf of bread from Kroger.
If you're broke as shit, go move back into the basement with mom.
Say, hey, mom, it didn't work out.
I need to live here for a little bit.
If that doesn't work, go crash on someone's couch.
If that doesn't work, then you might need to find a sugar daddy.
I'm just telling you, be resourceful, but don't turn on people.
You build a reputation of turning on people, and everyone will turn on you.
You think that everyone's a betrayer?
You think everyone's always out to get you?
You're probably out to get others.
I have my walls up high, but in order to make progress, you do have to trust people.
When you trust, what is trusting somebody?
Trusting someone is showing them your back, handing them a knife, and saying,
I know that you could backstab me, but I trust that you're not going to.
Sometimes when you do that, you're going to make progress.
You watch my back, I'll watch yours.
Eventually, someone might turn around and stab it.
You've got to realize that trust is letting your guard down.
But when you have someone watching your back, and you're watching theirs,
one of you can go to sleep at night.
One of you can watch the flank.
One of you can watch the six.
That's it.
That's what it's about.
That's what trust is about, and you can go much farther with trust.
You go solo, you won't get very far.
I can promise you that.
You need people that you can trust, but it's very hard to come by in Web3, guys.
It's extremely hard to come by.
So watch out for social engineering to take you down.
Now, we could have a whole lesson on what social engineering is
and why it's important to recognize it.
Let me see.
Throw up 100 emoji if you know what social engineering is.
Thumbs down if you don't know what social engineering is.
You've never heard this term before.
Okay, a lot of hundreds, a lot of hundreds.
Okay, everybody apparently knows what it means.
If everybody knows what it means, then how in the fuck are you guys getting socially engineered every single fucking day off of clips?
Can you explain that to me?
Can you explain why so many of you were shilling fraganas at 25 if you know what social engineering is?
Please.
Can you explain why did someone with an Opepin emoji or an Opepin PFP, why did somebody with an Opepin PFP throw up the 100 emoji telling me they know it's social engineering?
You do not know what social engineering is.
If you think you know what social engineering is, you've probably been socially engineered into thinking that you know the correct definition.
I'm taking my shirt off.
It's one of those days.
I'm taking it off.
It's cold in here too.
It's just getting heated.
All right, social engineering.
What the fuck is getting socially engineered?
You guys, you can be socially engineered into doing something good, right?
So today on this space, I could tell you that you're all fat as fuck and you look like you're 20 years older.
You got bags under your eyes that you haven't taken care of.
You need vitamin C serum.
I could say, hey, y'all look like shit.
It's time to go to the gym.
I'm going to end the space an hour early so you can build an extra hour into your day and get your ass in the gym.
That's social engineering.
I could socially engineer you into becoming a healthier, better version of yourself.
You know how many people change their fucking name?
I mean, look at Mac.
His name was Marco yesterday.
And then before that, it was some Marco zombie dot dot dot dot dot dot.
I socially engineered him.
Not off of a cliff.
I socially engineered that motherfucker into a rocket ship.
Yeah, how many, look, we got Craig up here.
Craig dot dot dot dot.
You can laugh all you want, fucker.
I'm laughing at you.
Everyone else is laughing at you.
Look at everyone else on stage, homie.
They're all laughing at you, Craig eight dot dot dot.
Zero, zero, very funny.
Zero, ca dot dot dot dot.
Everyone's laughing at you.
So you can be socially engineered into becoming a better person, a smarter person, a healthier person.
You could also be socially engineered into being walked off of a fucking cliff.
You ever seen those videos of those guys jumping off of cliffs and doing those paraglide or like the wing suits or whatever from from Red Bull?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm talking about.
Getting socially engineered is someone says, hey, here's your wing suit, man.
You jump off the cliff, you spread your arms and there's no fucking wing there.
It's just a fucking jumpsuit.
It's a wetsuit.
And you and you plummet straight to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Let me give you an example of what a social engineering looks like in Web3.
I'm just using a hypothetical name for the sake of this exercise.
Uh, guys, Jack Butcher is fucking legendary.
And, like, this guy is a fucking legend.
And he's coming out with a project.
It's called Opep, Opepin, Opepin, Opepin.
It's called Opepin.
Guys, this shit is historic.
You've seen the Walmart bags.
Now you can have it as your PFP.
You can take a Walmart shopping bag and make it your PFP.
This shit is legendary.
And it's only one ETH.
That shit's at, like, point fucking 00009 now.
And there's an Opepin in here who keeps throwing up the 100 emoji.
Dude, I don't know what the fuck.
I think you're a bot, bro, to be honest with you.
I think a lot of y'all are fucking bots.
Here's another example of social engineering.
I go to NFT Inspect.
And I see the top NFT collections based upon how many people are using that PFP on crypto Twitter.
Do you guys know how many NFT accounts are using an Izuki PFP right now?
Take a guess.
I've said this before, but if you haven't heard this before, how many Twitter accounts?
Guys, there's 10,000 Izukis.
10,000.
10,000.
10,000.
Carry the fuck.
Okay, there's 10,000 Izuki PFPs.
Craig, how many people do you think on Twitter are using an Izuki PFP?
There's 10,000 in the collection.
Take a guess.
Take a guess.
Craig, eight.
1,500 tops.
1,500 tops.
That's your answer, 1,500?
Not Irish.
You're not Irish.
Then what are you, lad?
Scottish?
Not Scottish.
Welsh?
Not Welsh.
All right.
Then what are you, lad?
Scots.
Oh, no one knows what the fuck that is, dude.
No one knows what that is, brother.
Yeah, no one knows what it is.
All right.
So, Craig guessed 1,500.
So, good guess.
I'm not going to tell you the answer just yet.
Let's go to Kiru.
Kiru.
So, 1,500.
There's 10,000 in the collection.
How many Azukis on Crypto Twitter, how many people are using an Azuki PFP, do you think,
Kiru?
Ka, dot, dot, dot.
Bottom left.
Bottom left button.
Looks like a microphone.
Can't miss it.
Kiru?
Who's that?
All right.
All right.
You can push someone up a ladder, but you can't force them to climb.
Okay.
So, we have a guess.
1,500 profiles using Azuki PFP.
The answer is...
Drum roll, please.
60,000.
60,000.
There are 60,000 accounts using an Azuki PFP on Twitter.
And you might be thinking to yourself, what in the absolute fuck?
That makes no sense.
It doesn't need to make sense.
You're getting socially engineered.
So, when you see Zagabon put out a tweet, and he's like, hey, guys, I love anime, and the
comments are from...
There's like a hundred...
There's like 10,000 Azukis commenting in there with the fucking garden emoji.
Just realize, guys, you were getting socially engineered to go buy an Azuki.
You might be thinking to yourself, wow, there is a big Azuki community.
And you're going to go buy an Azuki realizing that there's 10 people on crypto Twitter using
an Azuki.
Sansa, Elena, Zagabon, and that's it.
There's three, actually.
There's three Azukis on the entirety of this app.
But there's 60,000.
That's a social engineer.
It doesn't need to be somebody talking into your ear like, hey, you're fat as fuck.
It's time to go to the gym.
It doesn't have to be that explicit.
It could literally be...
Guys, you could be socially engineered to go to Chick-fil-A.
I'm driving down the highway, and I see that billboard, eat more chicken.
And I said, ooh, I need to eat more chicken.
And right off of exit number eight, there's a Chick-fil-A.
You could be socially engineered verbally, audio, and text.
Oh, so verbal, touch, text, anything.
Any fucking thing.
You could be socially engineered when you're in the line at McDonald's.
Would you like to upgrade that to a super meal for 99 cents?
And you're like, yeah, you know what?
I do want to upgrade that to a super meal for 99 cents.
That's a great idea.
You could be socially engineered at the car dealership.
Well, you said you wanted room for your kids.
I heard, you know, I think y'all should be having more kids, actually,
and upgrade to the eight-seater Suburban.
You know, I have eight kids myself.
And, you know, having kids is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.
And then you find out that he has actually no kids.
He just fucking engineered you into buying an eight-seat Suburban.
So it's not exclusive to crypto Twitter, this social engineering and all this bullshit.
But you got to understand it or else for the rest of your life, every single day,
you're going to be taken advantage of and you're going to be blowing in the wind
like the feather in Forrest Gump.
It's true.
It's true.
That's why whenever I see a commercial on TV, I don't even, I don't, I look away.
I look away.
I've got Adblock Plus on every device.
I don't use apps where I can't block ads.
Twitter is the only one and I pay for that premium ex-blue subscription to remove as many
as possible.
Because all that shit leaks into your brain.
You know, you might not even realize it.
You might not even realize it.
You're at this, you know, you're like, you go up to the bar.
What drink do you want?
Oh, give me a vodka Sprite.
What kind of vodka?
Ooh, Cheetos.
Even though all vodka is the fucking same, you're paying for dog shit.
But you, Cheetos is just in your mind because you saw an ad one time.
That's social engineering.
Being a educated consumer and understanding when you're being sold to.
This is, this is not, you don't need a business degree for this kind of thing.
You don't need to go to college.
You don't need to be a 99,000 IQ.
You need to understand behavior and you need to understand yourself.
Look, if you don't understand yourself and you can't even protect your own mind, there's
no, you stand no chance.
You will be mass mongered, fear mongered, socially engineered into living your life.
You know why so many millennials, you know, you ever talk to a millennial?
Horrible, horrible, miserable, miserable, bro.
Millennials are the worst.
It's avocado toast, craft beer, NFL, fucking Target, the store Target and, and Game of Thrones.
Like they're miserable, dude.
They're all the same fucking person.
It's like the same million time clone.
So, so, you know, you could be socially engineered into a generational group.
I'm a Gen Z, but, but I don't act like a Gen Z to a degree.
Most Gen Zs are just fucking, oh God, you thought a millennial was miserable.
You ever talk to a kid?
Like when's the last time you talked to a kid?
Shibo, you hang out with kids.
Yeah.
You do Big Brother.
They're, how old are they?
Between the ages of like 10 to 17.
The younger ones, like the 10-year-olds, are they like the Fortnite doing the dances and shit all the time?
Yeah, TikTok got them, bro.
TikTok got them.
They're, they're on Fortnite.
I gave a bunch of Fortnite gift cards for, for Christmas last Friday and they were freaking ecstatic.
Um, I think TikTok's like leading their, their life at this point.
Yeah, it's horrible, dude.
It's, it's actually horrible.
Somebody just DM'd me and said that soda machines emit a frequency that's on, you can't hear it, but it makes you thirstier.
This is the kind of shit I'm talking about, yo.
This is the kind of shit I'm talking about.
When you see the color red, you know, it makes you, like colors can invoke emotion even.
I'm serious.
You want to get into the intricacies of branding and launching a company or doing your own personal brand?
Guys, your color of your PFP can invoke emotion.
If your color is red, what do you think red stands for?
I'm curious.
Tex, what do you think the color red does to the human mind?
Inspires anger.
But it's my favorite color.
I think it is, isn't it an excitement, energy, like power for red?
It's what McDonald's uses.
So, I mean, you are accurate.
Googling.
Everyone's Googling.
Everyone's Googling.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
No one knows what the fuck they're talking about.
Okay.
You got a red PFP, excitement, strength, love, energy.
You're sending a message, right?
Why is McDonald's red?
Why is Wendy's red?
Why are stop signs red?
Think about these things.
It's important.
It's important.
Why is, why is, like I have a mattress.
It's called a purple mattress.
The brand is called Purple that made that mattress.
What does purple stand for?
When you think of purple, do you think of anger and craziness and excitement?
No, when I think of purple, I think of calm.
I think of lavender.
I think of calm.
So, guys, you can get socially engineered by fucking colors.
Yellow is creativity, happiness, warmth, cheer.
You think of the sun.
When I think of yellow, I think of the fucking sun.
When I think of green, I think of plants and peace and tranquility.
Like, these are all things to consider.
It doesn't matter what you're doing in life.
This knowledge, and you don't need to be an expert at this, right?
You don't need to be a hyper-expert.
Being a hyper-expert means going down the rabbit hole.
Being a hyper-expert in C++ coding language, you're probably a fucking Minecraft, Word of
Warcraft dude, and you're a hyper-expert in a deep field like C++ or Java, whatever, or
Solidity.
Or you can be a generalist, right?
You know a little bit about everything.
Some of the smartest people I know in business and life mentors are generalists.
They're not, they typically have a knack for something.
They're especially good at finance.
They're especially good at creative.
They're especially good at marketing.
They're especially good at human skills, EQ, emotional intelligence.
But most successful people I know are actually generalists.
They know a little bit about money.
Well, money, you actually, you can't know a little bit.
You got to become obsessed with money management, actually.
That's the one thing.
You got to know a little bit about marketing.
You got to know a little bit about branding.
You got to know a little bit about, you got to know a little bit about, you know, retail.
You got to know a little bit about the restaurant industry.
You got to know a little bit about sports.
You got to know a little bit about everything.
And the better that you can become at being a generalist of life, the more knowledge you have to make better decisions on an everyday basis.
We've grown beyond the branding course of changing your name now, guys.
We're graduating.
If you haven't taken it by now, there's no saving you.
God's in.
God's in.
I'm talking about being a successful human being and not getting walked off of fucking cliffs.
Being able to spot when you're getting walked off of cliffs.
Being able to spot patterns.
What is pattern recognition?
Pattern recognition is simply, oh, I'm seeing something happen and I know what's going to happen as a result.
Okay, pattern recognition.
It's raining outside, therefore there will be traffic.
Pattern.
Pattern recognition.
I see a six pack of beer in the fridge.
If there's beer in the fridge and it's cold, I'm going to drink it and I can't stop myself.
Pattern recognition.
Pattern.
There's weed in the jar sitting on my nightstand.
I have no self-control.
If there's weed in that jar, I will smoke it.
Pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition.
This guy went out drinking tonight.
He's probably going to drunk drive because he always does and he's probably going to get in a wreck one day and he ends up doing it.
Pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition.
The Browns draft an all-star and they still suck.
They're never going to win a Super Bowl.
Pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition.
Every time Drake drops an album, it's a fucking heater and goes platinum.
Pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition allows you to save time because when you recognize that something is happening, you can quickly adapt and you don't need to think about that decision anymore.
When I'm on a call with a potential client for a service in Web3 or somebody wants to do something cool in Web3, I can tell within a minute if they're bullshit or not and I will get off the call.
Well, one minute.
I can tell within one minute.
Hey, thanks for your time.
We're not interested at this time.
Thanks.
Bye.
If you don't have pattern recognition, you'll sit and do something for an hour trying to make it work and waste your fucking time.
People that have high pattern recognition can tell when they're wasting time and they stop wasting said time.
Quickly.
You know, somebody comes up to you and says, hey, would you like to buy some fucking solar-powered windows?
And they're knocking on your door.
Nope.
Bye.
Shut the door.
Someone that doesn't recognize that they're about to get fucking scammed would sit there and talk to him for an hour and a half and waste their fucking life.
People that are highly successful do not waste time.
I'm telling you right now.
I mean, once you have 100 mil in the bank, 200 mil in the bank, yeah, you could probably go to Al Capri or Greece and sit there and eat fucking grapes and sliced cheese while you're looking at the sunset.
Okay, so highly successful people, I'm talking highly successful operators, right?
It doesn't mean you operate a company.
It just means you're a kick-ass person.
You're operating a social media account, a brand.
Highly successful operators don't waste time.
They do not waste time.
They wake up in the morning.
They immediately start working.
Someone tries to take advantage of their time.
Bye.
Someone tries to do it again.
Blocked.
Highly successful people do not waste time.
They're on the phone at the gym.
They're on the phone in the car.
They're making deals while they're eating dinner.
They're working while they're cooking.
Highly successful people are extremely efficient with time.
Someone says, everybody has the same 24 hours.
Well, they really don't because a lot of people waste time.
You know how many people go to the bathroom in the morning, take a two-hour shit and play
Clash of Clans the whole time or Clash Royale while they're doing it?
Guys, you are literally, not every, people do not have the same 24 hours.
You know how many people have convinced themselves that if they don't smoke weed, they won't be
able to relax at night and they have to smoke weed and then chill and play Grand Theft Auto
for three hours or else they won't be able to sleep?
You know how many people have convinced themselves of this?
And it adds up.
We talked about compounding momentum.
It's a real thing.
What is compounding momentum?
It's what we talked about.
Things go exponential.
Your good habits will multiply.
Your bad habits will also multiply.
Guys, bad habit?
You come home from work.
It's 6 p.m.
You have two options.
Work on your side hustle or go into the fridge and grab a beer.
Okay, let's say you grab the beer.
You grab the beer.
All of a sudden, it's two.
All of a sudden, it's three.
All of a sudden, it's four.
All of a sudden, it's nine.
And then you spend money that you shouldn't spend ordering Subway, Uber Eats, and you get
some mayonnaise sandwich.
You eat it.
And then you play Grand Theft Auto.
And then you fuck in.
And then you're up until two in the morning.
And then the next day, you wake up late.
You're tired at work.
You come home.
Oh, I'm so tired.
I need to grab another beer.
And then boom, the cycle continues forever.
In perpetual cycles.
And then the habits get even worse.
You turn to weed.
You turn to perks.
You start going out.
You start meeting people that you shouldn't, et cetera, et cetera.
Good habits.
Let's say you come home from work.
It's 6 p.m.
Man, I'm tired.
I'm going to have a quick cup of coffee, half a cup of coffee.
I'm going to get my ass into the gym.
Or you just go straight to the gym, and it re-energizes yourself.
You come home from the gym.
You're like, man, that was a great workout.
I'm actually going to eat healthy because I can tell I'm caring about my body.
You eat some salmon and salad and rice.
And then after that, you said, oh, it's only 8 o'clock.
I just showered.
I'm feeling good.
I'm going to start working on my side hustle.
You work on your side hustle from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
You're in bed at 10.
Lights out by 10.30.
You're asleep.
You get nine hours of sleep.
The next day, you wake up.
You feel like a fucking champ.
You get home from work.
You go to the gym again, et cetera, et cetera.
Boom.
You have a win on your company, on your side hustle.
All of a sudden, you can go tell your boss, go fuck yourself, and you quit, and you focus
on your side hustle.
Your positive habits all add up.
It does not go unnoticed.
You can't see it, guys.
You're not going to see it.
There's no one telling you.
Unfortunately, God ain't on your shoulders saying to you, like whispering in your ear,
literally saying, hey, you're doing a great job.
Keep it up.
That's not how it works.
That's not how it works.
Hey, Mark, can I say one thing?
Just be careful not to...
Nope.
You can't.
You can't.
You can't say one thing.
So, guys, you cannot do with...
Eric, you cannot do that shit, man.
You cannot do that shit, man.
That's time out.
That's time out.
That's time out.
Your positive habits will absolutely multiply, and the rewards of your positive habits are
not always immediate, guys.
Here's the other thing.
You can go to the gym for a month, two months, and you might not notice a difference.
Like, you're not going to be...
You're not going to have a huge chest.
You're not going to have fucking six-pack in two months.
It doesn't work like...
You might work on your business, and you might work on your personal skills for two months.
You'll never get a single client.
The actual results sometimes are immeasurable.
Making progress is sometimes immeasurable.
There's not going to be...
Your bank account's not just going to go up all the time.
That's not the only way to measure success.
The hours that you put in, the skills that you acquire, the dedication that you put in
is multiplying.
It's adding up behind the scenes.
It's adding up.
It's invisible.
And one year of working your ass off may, may just multiply and end up in a huge fucking win.
You might have a personal brand.
You might be on crypto Twitter with your new cleaned-up account, your cleaned-up brand
with your checkmark, your clean everything.
You might grind for two months, and a brand deal never comes your way.
Ever.
And you're like, what the fuck is going on?
And then one day, barking books, get a 500K deal, and we need 50KOLs to share it with.
Your name comes to mind, and boom, 10 grand's now in your pocket after two months of no results.
Work, work, work, no results, work, work, work, no results, work, work, work, no results,
work, work, work, big result.
Sometimes that's how it goes, fam.
You can't just expect to get that six-pack one day in the gym.
You've got to work when, and especially when no one's watching.
If you're doing this, if you're doing all this brand shit, if you're doing all this hard
work to make Bark, Books, and Shibo happy, you're coming from the wrong place, man.
You're coming from the wrong place.
If you're doing this to make me happy, if you're doing this to make Books happy, Shibo
happy, you're coming from the wrong place.
If you're doing all of this to make someone proud, you're coming from the wrong place.
This has got to be for you, fam.
This has got to be for you.
You can't do this for other people.
You can't be successful for other people.
You cannot, the outcome of your success in your life cannot be determined on making someone
happy or excited or any of that shit.
You've got to do it for you or else it won't sustain.
When you go to the gym, you can't just go to the gym and get shredded to look good for
spring break, to look good in front of others.
It won't last.
You might make it to spring break.
It's not going to last.
New Year's resolution, you can't just go to the gym because you want to get shredded.
You've got to do what you do for the love and for the sake of doing it for yourself.
You know why so many people quit the gym?
They do it for the wrong reasons.
They go into it with the wrong mentality.
They do.
Why so many people quit diets?
They do it for the wrong reasons.
The people that go to the gym for a decade and continue to do it, why do they go to the
gym?
Is it for to look hot in front of girls?
Is it to look fucking cool?
It's because they love it.
They love it.
They love going to the gym.
People that make sick-ass art or fashion or clothing, they can do it for 10, 20 years.
Are they doing it because they just want to look cool for Instagram or whatever?
No, it all fades out.
That all fades.
It's the people that love it.
It's love.
It's passion that will take you over long periods of time to be successful.
So you've got to love what you're doing.
And if you're in this Web3 shit, the money's cool.
We have that as a North Star.
Money is sweet.
It's a good thing to follow.
It's up in the sky.
You look up in the sky.
If you're not walking toward...
There's money in the sky, everybody.
The North Star, the brightest one in the sky, there's money over there.
You don't need to chase the money, but you need to be walking in that direction.
Don't turn the other way and walk a different direction from the money.
Walk towards the money.
But you also have to love this.
Books loves this, guys.
Books loves Web3.
Shebo loves Web3.
King Ant loves Web3.
Wi-Fi loves Web3.
Like, these people love being here.
This account...
This account would have quit ages ago.
I got a million fucking things that I could be doing, that anyone could be doing.
But for this account to show up every single day and do these spaces every single day,
deal with Eric coming off of mute and interrupting a train of thought,
dealing with all that, you've got to love it.
You have to love what you do.
So if you don't love this Web3 shit, it's going to be hard for you.
It is going to be hard for you.
You're going to want to quit.
And a lot of people can't make it.
Yo, you know how many people in this space right now were here a year and a half ago doing the same thing,
or they were here a year and a half ago?
Not many.
There's really not many.
Tons of new people.
You know why?
Your favorite bull market influencer quit.
They didn't get rich.
I mean, not just your favorite influencer.
A lot of people here last bull market already quit.
They came.
They were promised money.
They were promised generational wealth.
They were promised Lambos.
They were promised Wag Me by Mark Zuckerberg's sister.
You know what song I'm talking about?
Please tell me you guys know what song I'm talking about.
Hold on.
Guys.
You ready?
Hold on.
Battery 90%.
Connected tune.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
Okay, you ready?
Listen to this.
This is Mark Zuckerberg's sister.
This is what we were all promised last bull market.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
We're all going to make it.
Yeah, we're all going to make it.
We're all going to make it.
Everyone.
All right, we're done.
We're done.
We're done.
We're done.
It gets worse.
They're like, so freaking carpe diem.
That's Mark Zuckerberg's sister, yo.
We were promised Lambo riches.
And if you were here in 2021, 2022, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
When Lambo.
You know, you're early.
You know, when metaverse.
Wag me.
Guys, they were putting wag me on the t-shirts of NFT traits.
I mean, half the fucking clone X's are wearing a wag me shirt or wag me hat.
You were, you were, you were lied to.
And that lie, unfortunately, led many people to waste an incredible amount of time, money, and opportunity by coming to Web3 and doing the wrong things on top of it all.
You bought everything at the top.
You bought all the fucking rugs.
You brought all the drainers.
While, while a group of 100 influencers all made 50 to 100 million dollars, and they're doing ketamine on a yacht.
So, no wonder so many people quit.
But you know who didn't quit?
The people that didn't quit legitimately love this space.
And we say we hate it.
We say it's annoying.
We say that the drama's too much.
We say all the influencers are hot bitches out of yacht.
All the other bullshit, yo.
There's no place like it here.
I fucking love Web3.
This account fucking loves Web3.
I like the drama, yo.
I like it.
Not that I love bathing in it, but it's exciting, man.
I mean, dude, I go back to, I tried other shit.
I've tried jobs.
I've done, I've done a lot in, in this account's career.
It's boring, dude.
It's boring.
It's a fucking snooze fest.
What, am I going to go make marketing and branding for some stupid ass, you know, consulting company?
Or I'm going to go make marketing and branding for a cookie company?
I'm going to make TikTok for a shoe company?
Fuck no, dude.
Web3 is cocaine.
It's exciting.
It's, it's fresh.
It's new.
It's exciting.
It's chaos.
It's high stakes.
It's high risk.
And I fucking love it here.
And if you don't love it here, I'm telling you, it's going to be very hard for you.
When, when you're climbing, when you're focusing on growing and focusing on becoming more successful
and you haven't experienced that yet, if you're new, you're fresh, you haven't had a scratch at success yet in the public eye,
just realize that people are going to do everything in their power to stop you.
A hundred percent.
Anyone who's successful knows it.
Books knows it.
Sheba knows it.
Eva knows it.
Mark Cuban knows it.
Farouk knows it.
Everybody knows that as you try to become successful, do your own fucking thing, there's going to be an onslaught of people
that do try to stop your every move.
And the sad reality is, is most of the time, you can call them haters, whatever you want.
Most of the time, these haters are successful.
They stop people.
They stop people.
You do your first little piano concert.
You suck.
That person never tries again.
They never do the piano again.
You do your first stand-up comedy bit.
No one ever, you're not doing it again.
Because most people can't fight that resistance.
There's going to be more resistance than there is push.
A lot of people will love you, but the people that hate you, yo, will work all, they'll work 24 fucking seven.
They will work around the fucking clock.
Where is that fucking thing?
They're going to work around the clock.
People will work around the clock to prevent you from being successful here.
And if you don't love this, you will cave.
You will fold.
You will fold.
No matter how good the money is, yo.
The money ain't shit.
Look at Kevin Rose.
Kevin Rose does not love Web3.
He doesn't.
I can just tell.
I saw the sympathy points.
Like, oh man, we've all done ketamine.
Like, we've all been there.
No, we haven't all been there.
I've never fucking done ketamine.
The whole space tried to cancel this account.
There was 1,800, 2,000 people, 2,200 people in a space that was all geared towards canceling this account.
From somebody and many people that I had trusted and trusted with privacy, secrecy, everything.
All my fucking dirty laundry out in the open.
Now I don't give a fuck.
Everyone knows everything about me.
It was the best thing that ever happened to this account.
The best thing that ever happened to this account was getting canceled.
Saw everyone who was willing and ready to take a stab.
I learned a lot about the people around this account.
So when those things happen to you, just realize that when things are really tough and things are really hard around you,
that you need to take those moments and take a step back and realize that if you're going through a difficult time in life,
you're struggling financially, your relationships are struggling, things are not working, your business is failing,
just understand that there's a lesson in all of that, and you have two ways of looking at it.
It's snowing outside.
You can pout or you can go sledding.
You're going through some hard shit.
It's all about your perspective, guys.
And I can guarantee someone has it worse than you that would trade places with you 100%.
There's somebody right now with no arms and no legs and no eyes and no fucking ears who would trade places with you in a heartbeat,
no matter how hard your shit is.
Oh, my account isn't growing.
Growing.
Growing.
Okay.
Well, someone doesn't have a fucking, there's somebody that's a conjoined twin that would, that would do anything to have an account that's not growing.
You know?
Or, or, or, I got drained for $1,000.
Guys, somebody out there, someone out there's fucking mom stole from them, stole their life savings.
Someone out there's wife went and cheated on them and took half of everything they've ever earned and got away with it.
You know, you're going through a rough patch with your girl.
Someone out there's wife was fucking the neighbor and took half of everything, and the kids, and the fucking dog, the only thing that loved you, that dog.
And they took it as well.
So just realize that no matter how, how fucking bad it gets or how hard things might be going, going for you right now, it's all your perspective.
That's why I never tune into these sob-ass spaces, yo.
Like these fucking 2 a.m. druggy spaces where they're talking about how hard life is.
That shit's contagious.
That shit's disgusting.
That shit's ugly.
I stay the fuck away from it.
Talking about it is not going to make it better.
You can talk to a therapist if you need it, but that's kind of bullshit, too.
I think a lot of people force themselves into, no, it's not bullshit in the sense of there is benefits to talking through some things with a licensed person that knows how to extract it from you.
But it's kind of bullshit.
I really do think so.
You just, like, again, it all multiplies, yo.
That sadness will multiply untreated into fucking depression, yo.
And that happiness will multiply into success.
What's up, books?
Something you said I liked.
You said, like, you love drama.
Because shit's boring, you know?
Dramas, it can be fun.
Do people love cocaine?
Like, why do people do cocaine?
They love it.
They're bored, right?
Bark, I'm asking you.
Oh, I don't know.
I've never done cocaine.
They love it because they're bored, yo.
Makes their day go by faster.
Keeps them going.
Same with weed, yo.
Motherfuckers love weed.
All this stuff is bad for you, right?
But we love it.
We're bored, you know?
It makes the day go by fast.
Drugs are bad, but we love them.
Same thing with how Bark feels about drama.
He loves it.
He's bored.
But it's bad for you.
I know a lot of you need a day, like New Year's, to change things.
Yo, my 2024 New Year's resolution is more hustling, more money.
That's been the same resolution every single year.
I'm not going to wait on a day to go to the gym.
I'm not going to wait on a day of the year to quit doing drugs.
I'm not going to wait a day for this day to lose weight.
I could do that any fucking day.
But if you start off this year on a positive note, where you're going to stop engaging with drama,
stop worrying about drama, and start worrying about yourself, and how you can better yourself,
and I think that's what Bark was kind of trying to get at.
There's a lot of things that are fun.
When life is boring, there's a lot of things we like.
Making those small sacrifices could really benefit us in the future.
Yo, if you vape.
Vaping is not cheap.
It's expensive.
In my opinion, vape's more expensive than cigarettes.
One vape is more expensive than a pack of cigarettes.
If you're a chain smoker, one vape is the last thing you would do.
Quit vaping.
That extra money, save it up every month.
You'd be surprised.
That favorite NFT or that crypto token that you wanted, you now have the money to buy it.
Or if you want to ape into something, you've got the money to buy it.
Sacrifice those things that are bad for you.
Time.
Time is something we don't have.
I can make money.
I can make friends.
I could reproduce and make family.
One thing I can't do is make more time.
You've got 24 hours in the day, 365 days in a year.
And you're lucky to have 80 of those years in life.
If you've already went through 20 or 30 of them, you've got 30, 40 left.
If that, maybe 50, if you're healthy.
So time is something you can't make back.
Now, what are you wasting most of your time on in a day?
In 2023, if you didn't have a good year financially and you're here for financial reasons, what was the cause of that?
You've got to figure all that stuff out to come up with this New Year's resolution if you need a good one.
I wasted a lot of time around people that were bringing me down.
Wasted a lot of time around people that were shitting on me.
Wasting a lot of time around people that were enemies and not really friends the whole time.
Wasted a lot of time engaging in toxic competitiveness.
I love me some competition, but when it's toxic competitiveness, when I'm taking shots at other Twitter spaces hosts,
they're taking shots at me and it's all about who's doing it better and jealousy, who has more of an audience.
I'm not engaging in that stuff anymore.
2024 is a new me that's going to better me is how I'm going to look at it.
So all that stuff that's been wasting your time, end it.
Focus on something new.
There's nothing wrong with pivoting.
If it hasn't worked for the last year or two, guys, it's not going to work for the next year or two.
If you've been listening to people that are shilling you something new every week, every day, every minute, every month,
and you have not won, switch to new people.
If you've been losing money listening to me, don't listen to me anymore.
Guys, go elsewhere is what I'm trying to tell you.
There's a lot of good info out there.
There's a lot of people giving good info.
Guys, all the info that comes from me and Bark, one reason these spaces hosts hate our guts,
is because it's genuine, yo.
We have experience.
I spent my whole life, when I was 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 years old,
around people that were 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 years old.
I'm like a 70-year-old man in a 33-year-old's body.
The way the knowledge works, the way the experience works.
I have been through hell and back 500 times.
You cannot replicate what I know.
You cannot replicate the information I have.
I am around people that are not in this space, that are extremely successful in the real world.
They have helped bring me up in life.
And I'm coming here and trying to share that wisdom with you guys.
There's nothing fake about it.
Anyone that's smart in this room can hear the passion in my voice.
You guys can hear the passion in Bark's voice.
Bark is younger than me, but Bark is such a sharp, young motherfucker.
This kid is so smart.
And I'm not talking about Twitter spaces, Bark.
I'm talking about real-life business off of the internet, Bark.
This guy is receptive to feedback.
This guy can take constructive criticism.
And you give it to him today.
Tomorrow, there's a new Bark based off of the feedback you gave him.
Bark is giving constructive criticism.
He's giving great feedback.
Next day, I'm back, ready to rock.
Different books.
Just building each other the fuck up.
Helping each other out.
Same thing with Chibo.
Chibo wouldn't be here today if it wasn't everything I just described about myself and Bark.
And when you find people that you work well with that way, start growing that team.
Guys, that team ends up being unstoppable.
Like there is nobody that could get in between you.
There is no one that could break anything between you.
No bonds, nothing.
And you just continue climbing that ladder.
Everyone's taking the elevator.
Everyone's taking the escalator.
We're climbing up a ladder.
And it takes a little bit longer, but we're going to reach our goal and more.
I promise you.
So that's how I'm feeling about this new year, Bark.
I have to throw that in there, bro.
Sorry for interrupting you.
No, it's not an interruption, Bush.
I love what you said, man.
The receptive to feedback and not taking things personal.
Yo, I think some of the things that we say in this space might get twisted.
And you'll see this on the timeline when others call, you know, say whatever they want about these spaces.
They'll twist the meaning and everything we're saying.
Guys, everything we're saying is coming from a good place.
I want you to understand that, right?
When we make fun of your name for being too long and the dot, dot, dot, and you interrupting on spaces and getting put in time out, this is all to improve your success.
This is all to put you in a position to be successful.
You have two ways of looking at it.
Oh, Books and Bark and Shiba are so mean.
They cut me off or they kicked me off of spaces or I like my really long name.
Guys, if you like your name and you like interrupting, you like your long name, you like interrupting, go enjoy it.
But it's not going to fly here.
There's a level of accountability in this community, in these spaces that doesn't exist elsewhere.
It exists in these spaces.
And moving forward, that bar is going to keep getting higher and higher.
This 2024, you know, the people that are in this community, around us, everything, the bar is going to continue getting higher and higher and higher because there's no settling here.
You want to go settle.
There's a late night space at 2 in the morning.
Everyone's smoking weed and talking about, you know, how hard life is.
You can go in there if you want to be enabled.
If you want to be enabled to be a better person, you come in here.
You want to be forced.
You want to be pushed up a ladder.
Come in this space and tune in every day.
Put this in while you're at the gym.
Go listen to the recording.
Pull up when you're driving to work.
Whatever the case may be.
There's four of them a day.
10 a.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Eastern, and Jen's at 8 p.m. Eastern.
All day going to put this shit out into the mainstream, out into the airwaves so you can listen to it and improve your life if you so choose to do.
And I pinned up at the top.
I think this summarizes everything that we're saying today.
Basically saying you've got to think much bigger in 2024.
Stop settling.
That's the message, guys.
Just stop settling.
Stop settling for mediocrity.
Stop settling for trying to get one ETH.
If your goal is to get one ETH, you've got to think much, much bigger.
Because if your goal is to get one Ethereum by the end of the bull market, and that's not a joke.
A lot of people, that legitimately is their goal.
They're trying to get one ETH during the bull market.
They want to own one Ethereum.
And if that's your goal and you miss and you get 50% of that goal, you're getting 0.5 Ethereum.
Why not say your goal is to get 100 ETH?
And if you miss, you're going to get 50.
Even if you get 5%, you're walking out with 5.
It costs $0 to think bigger.
It requires no more thought process.
It requires no more energy.
It requires nothing to think big.
Me saying that, me saying, or this account saying that it wants 10,000 people in these spaces,
it's the same effort as me saying 5,000.
Same amount of syllables, everything.
So it requires zero energy to think big.
And I think not settling and thinking big is the number one strategy.
All these resolutions, goals, the vape, the gym, and everything like that.
These are all components of it.
But thinking big is certainly the characteristic and certainly the trait that I think can transcend
all of them.
We got Diesel up here.
Diesel, I guess you're an audio engineer, right?
You were sending me some messages.
You got guitars and pianos and speakers and shit like that.
Tell me a little bit about the social engineering that goes into audio engineering.
Oh, man.
Well, first off, all music is a sign-up.
Let's start there.
Think about it.
Back in the day, what were musicians?
A king's muse?
Nothing.
Until we realized that frequencies can make people feel certain ways.
And that's how we manipulate people today.
Through music.
What about the hurts, though, Diesel?
You said that there's something wrong that's going to make me horny or something, would you say?
Okay, there's – you can Google it.
He said it.
He said it, guys.
I'll let you read my DMs.
Like if I – I might just give one of you guys access to my account for the day so you can see the DMs that this account gets.
You would be –
It's called I-Dose.
The government has been working on these – it's like a bunch of frequencies played at once, but they've messed around with all of them.
There's one that completely incapacitates you and you can't move.
If you have headphones on, you're fucked.
One makes you feel like you're high on weed.
One makes you feel like you're high on acid.
One makes you feel like you're high on Percocet, et cetera, et cetera.
The eye doser.
So we've been using sound to control people for a long time.
It's kind of just becoming common knowledge and barely.
Yeah.
No, it's common knowledge if you're paying attention.
I mean I don't think there's anything – common sense, common knowledge.
These terms have been thrown out the window.
Common sense.
Yeah, that's true.
Common sense as a whole was lost like a decade ago.
I mean it's so –
Be careful.
Do not let diesel play any frequencies in this space for sure, Mark.
Be careful.
Right, right, right.
No, I wouldn't do it.
No, but the soda machine emits 110 kilohertz.
The human ear here is 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz max.
And basically once you hit 30, you can't really hear over 16 kilohertz.
The soda machine emits 110 kilohertz, so it's way beyond what we can hear.
But it makes you thirsty.
See, if you want to buy a fucking soda machine, yo, I'm going to get a soda.
I wonder why.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Yo, you ever know – like – go ahead.
No, we're being played.
Go ahead.
You ever go into a Christmas store or you ever go into, like, Hobby Lobby – you ever
go into Hobby Lobby during the month of December and you're like – you already don't want
to be there.
You're like, I'm just trying to get in.
I'm trying to get out.
I'm trying to get my shit.
You walk in and you just hear shit like this, like –
You're like, you know what?
I actually do need that $500 elf inflatable.
I really do need that shit.
There's a reason.
Well, tell that to Mariah Carey.
Every Christmas she gets a billion fucking dollars for that song, so –
Must be nice.
But, no, yeah, sound and visuals, guys, these all have an effect on your mind and your body.
And unless you understand what's really going on, even at a high level, just like the fact
that red makes you hungry and angry and yellow makes you excited and energized, understanding
these things will help you navigate the world a little bit better and not get walked off
a cliff.
So, it was cool to have Diesel come up as an audio engineer.
Yeah, that's the other cool thing.
I feel like we cover every single career in the world.
Like, someone in this space is a pilot.
Someone in this space is an OnlyFans model.
Someone in this space is a chef.
Someone in this space is an electrician.
Yo, we could start – we could just start the anything company.
Or I do – I do –
Call us up.
Hey, I need a plumber.
Boom.
Let me just call someone in this space.
I'm like, yo, hey, Zach underscore ETH.
We have a new client for you.
We'll start the everything company and we'll get rocking from there.
We're like, hey, I need a girlfriend.
Boom.
Anyone could be that.
Boy, man, boy, female.
We'll just give you the tools to operate the women's account.
We'll get that person.
Oh, shit.
I got some alpha on that.
On what?
Wait, hold on a second.
Yeah, yeah.
You have alpha on –
Yeah, listen.
Sexy.ai.
What is that?
It's AI-generated clone.
It's pictures.
Okay, okay, okay.
It's pictures.
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
He's trying to introduce you to a new girlfriend, Bark.
That's not alpha, dude.
I thought you were going to say like, yo, like bull coin, bull token.
No, no.
It's about to pump 10,000%.
You tell me I can generate an AI girlfriend is not fucking alpha, bro.
Well, it is because I started this fucking website as a joke.
Oh, my – it's yours?
Yes.
Okay, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
I'm too good at this.
I'm doing it.
Diesel, diesel, diesel, diesel, diesel, diesel.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
I've been doing this shit way too long, man.
I've been doing this shit way too fucking long.
It's free, though.
You can go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's free, it cures cancer, everything.
Dude, I've been doing this shit way too long.
Oh, diesel.
You can't slip anything by me.
I don't care how much butter, how much Crisco, how much anything you got on it.
You ain't slipping shit by me, homie.
I'm not trying to slip shit by you.
All right, so you – your girlfriend is AI.
Is that what you're trying to tell everybody?
No, my wife's right here.
She's actually down on site.
Can you put her on?
Babe.
What books you got on?
She's not feeling too hot.
We would drink.
Oh, it's okay.
It's fine.
I'm not feeling very good either.
It was a joke.
We started the shit as a joke.
Oh, but what I sent you earlier –
You don't have a wife?
No, yeah, right.
All right, we'll let you chill your shit.
Can you just put her on real quick?
Hold on.
Books.
Books?
You got it?
What up, Books?
Babe, say what up to everybody.
What up?
She's over here taking a nap on the couch.
I'm still drinking.
Dude, it's New Year's and –
She's resting up.
Resting up for a little bit.
What's good, Books?
What's she resting up for?
To drink more later.
Can I speak to her?
Diesel.
Yeah.
I hope you understand that you have already taken up so much stage time.
There is multiple brands in the request, $10,000 a piece per minute of stage time.
Okay, so –
You're walking in circles in your living room.
That's what you want.
You're waking up your wife for no fucking reason.
She's sleeping, bro.
It's New Year's.
Why did you wake her up?
She's not feeling good either.
Oh, God.
Okay, so you and your wife both have AI girlfriends and you're telling me that this is the alpha.
Let me guess.
You're doing a token launch.
There's going to be an ICO.
Nope.
I can get everyone in here in on it, whitelist.
Nope.
I just said it's a warehouse of service.
Dude, you're early.
You're early.
Yes.
Oh, and it's a Bitcoin ordinal and ZK Shark is advising.
Well, if you want to go that route, we can talk to that.
No, I don't want to go – dude, I don't want to go any route.
I'm just kidding.
Okay, so why are – what's so great about an AI girlfriend?
Does that even make sense?
Well, surprisingly enough, like I said, it started out as a joke and then people started paying $4 a month and it's generating $60,000 a month.
What?
There's a lot of desperate people out there at my point.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yes.
You're making $60,000 a month?
Go to the fucking website.
I'm not clicking.
I'm not going.
No one clicked on that site yet.
No one clicked on that site yet.
Okay.
Well, I mean –
I'm just – no, I'm not going to any – you know what happened the last time I went to –
Google it.
Google it first.
I went to Lemon Party or some shit.
I'm not going on any more sites.
No, I wouldn't rogue you guys.
I'm not going to ask you.
Okay, so what is it?
It's just pictures?
Yeah, but you type in whatever description you are, blonde hair, blue eyes, bikini, walking on a beach in Hawaii, and it'll make those pictures for you.
What if I typed Web3 crypto female influencer?
Would a dude – would it generate a picture of a dude?
Well, there's a bunch of different categories.
So if you went into the homoerotic version – yeah, sure.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
All right.
60 KF.
Books, what the fuck are we doing, dude?
What are we doing, dude?
I got 100 servers in a fucking warehouse just so I can do – because all AI –
What?
You know, all AI prevents you from doing nude, anything.
So fuck you.
I'll do it myself.
Right.
Okay.
All right.
What did you want to – here, I'll type it in.
No, I don't – all right.
Yeah, yeah.
Crypto influencer.
Crypto NFT influencer.
Crypto – okay.
It's probably – they're probably going to have, like, Bitcoin tits or something.
It's going to be all fucked up.
Let's see.
All right.
While you're generating that – while we're generating our future girlfriend,
and if this actually works, Diesel, I've got about 15 accounts that we can get rocking
and rolling, and we can turn that 60K a month into 600K a month via donations very
quickly.
We can talk about that.
Let's go over to – Eric, well, I want to get to you in just a second.
Tex had his hand up.
What's up, Tex?
Hey, great job about telling us how to recognize patterns.
And your takeaway of consistency is key from your earlier tweet.
Yeah, that is something that people need to take away from this space is being consistent,
engaging, bookmarking, and going to these spaces, especially the one coming up at 4.
Yeah, that guy is a fucking soldier, dude.
You hear that book, Shibo?
That dude is –
He's on point.
He has his car 98 and his grenades and his water pouch and his MREs.
That guy is ready to go die for the fucking army.
And that's why he won a giveaway yesterday.
I think so, right?
You won a giveaway yesterday, Tex?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much for that.
And I will keep that and turn it into $1,000 and show the way.
Yeah, no need to thank this account.
No need to thank the book's account.
No need to thank the Shibo account.
That was all you, King.
We didn't force you to do shit.
You did it by yourself.
You shortened your name.
If you didn't, you'd just end up like Eric.
So you've already made extreme amount of progress recently.
That's inspiring, dude.
It's inspiring shit.
So that's –
Just be coachable.
Just be coachable.
Yeah, dude.
Dude, he's good.
Book, Shibo, this guy's good.
There's a couple people that have really stepped up recently.
I'm talking went up a whole other league recently.
That's fucking amazing.
There's people that have owned no crypto, no NFTs.
They got in the Doge Alpha Discord and they already set up Doge wallets.
They're already fucking – they're already at it, dude.
They're already going hard and in a matter of like days.
So I see people that they bought ETH NFTs, they bought Solana NFTs, they bought all kinds of NFTs, and they won't spend – how long does it take to set up a Doge wallet, Shibo?
Like how long does it take you –
Like 0.2 seconds.
It's a quick ting.
Quick ting.
It's a quick ting, yeah?
It's a quick ting to get the Doge back.
It's a quick ting, yeah?
I think writing down your seed phrase is like the longest portion of setting up the wallet.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't even need to write down your seed phrase.
You could just tweet it out so you never lose it.
Just take a picture and tweet it out.
Don't do that, guys.
Do not do that.
And you'll never lose it.
It'll always be – pin it to your profile so you can always find it really quick.
I'm fucking dead.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so no, don't do that.
Don't do that.
Keep it.
Keep it.
Keep it.
I don't know.
Keep it somewhere else.
Okay, so it takes 0.2 seconds.
We have people like Tex and like Jaga or Jag, he's short in his name when he gets the Twitter
blue back.
We have people that have already came in, set up their Dogecoin wallets in two seconds.
They've never done this before and they're already out there buying Doge, Dogeinals, Doge
Ordinals.
And don't use that you're broke as an excuse.
First and foremost, Doge is $0.09, okay?
That's number one.
And gas is like a fraction of a fraction of that.
But if you hang out in the Doge Alpha Discord by showing up and supporting every day, like
Wi-Fi, Jaga, Shibo, like the whole crew, they're just saucing out Doge in there.
It's like a fucking puppy mill.
So much Doge is getting shoved out in that place.
So if you literally have $0 and you have five seconds of your time to get in that Discord,
I know it's really tough.
Shibo, I don't know how your DMs are looking, bro.
Like I can't even...
Guys, you need to...
It's flooded, bro.
Yeah, stop DMing.
Like, please stop DMing this account.
I know you're all probably going to hear this and start DMing it harder.
So I don't know what the fuck I'm saying this for.
But stop DMing, asking if you can get in the Discord.
We've already let in like 10 people today.
It's already becoming too big.
There's a lot going on in there.
But free giveaways, free Doge, all this good shit.
So if you do have the opportunity, just continue to have nodies on for these accounts.
Engage with every tweet.
That's the only people who are getting in, honestly.
And I'm super excited about it.
We do have...
What is this?
Doge L dot dot dot.
Do you see this page?
Shibo Doge L dot dot dot.
Hmm.
I don't know.
Is this...
I think...
I think this is...
I think I have their wallet.
Yeah.
The wallet I use.
Very Doge Labs.
It's just hard to read their name on stage.
I don't know, Bart.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe the worst bio I've ever seen.
Igniting the wow in hashtag Dogecoin ordinals.
Igniting the wow.
Or maybe that's just a Doge thing.
There's quotes around the wow.
There's quotes around the wow, too.
Is that just a Doge thing?
Like, the last time I saw Doge, it was like some fifth grader wrote crayon, like much wow.
I think, honestly, I was in sixth grade.
That meme must be ancient at this point.
Someone had showed me their iPod Touch, and they were on the app iFunny, and it was a
Doge picture, and it said much wow on it, and they were just cracking up at the lunch
table, and that was the first time.
And here we are 16 years later, and Doge L dot dot dot in their bio says igniting the
wow in Dogecoin ordinals.
So, the meme is eternal.
You thought Pepe was old.
I think Doge might be.
Is Doge the oldest meme?
Like, actually, is Doge the oldest meme?
Maybe the crazy girlfriend.
I think so, yo.
Maybe that crazy girlfriend.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like, the crazy ex-girlfriend.
Oh, no, no.
Bad luck, Brian.
Bad luck, Brian.
Doge is the oldest meme coin, yo.
No, not meme coin.
Just meme in general.
Oh, I don't know.
Scumbag Steve is an old one.
Yeah, Scumbag Steve.
Was he wearing true religion jeans, Scumbag Steve?
He was definitely wearing fake true religion jeans.
Fake true religion?
Yeah, like, he got them off Tim U, off of Alibaba back then.
Like, 100%.
How much are true religion jeans?
They were expensive, bro.
I forget, but they were expensive.
They were not cheap, yo.
I used to, I think, pay like $300 for some, $400 for some, but then I started getting them
at the outlet for like $120.
Yeah, well, price, or cash can't buy class.
They can buy ass, though.
And what I realized is just because you're cool now doesn't mean you'll be cool forever.
Doge is one of the few memes that I kind of, I think has kind of remained eternal.
That crazy ex-girlfriend shit, you know which one I'm talking about?
Like, she's like smiling and looking weird.
That shit lasted like four years, and then it was never funny.
Another eternal meme is that advice duck, where it's just like that advice duck.
But whatever, the memes are there.
Doge L dot dot dot.
What does igniting the wow in Dogecoin ordinals mean?
What does igniting the wow stand for?
Man, if you don't like that, you're not going to like our manifesto whatsoever.
I'm just going to put that out there.
Igniting the wow is just very Doge much wow.
Man, there's not a lot behind the thought process because Doge is about the memes.
Doge is about making it happen.
Doge is about a welcoming community where there isn't like a lot of, you know, I guess overhead.
But yeah, no, it doesn't really have like a secret hidden meaning besides, you know, I think just the ethos of leaning into what Dogecoin was originally meant for, which was a joke, right?
I mean, it's a fork of a fork, like by its very nature, right?
You've got an entire blockchain, which is now absolutely seeing incredible growth, right?
With this whole ordinals movement over this last year.
Like 2023 has been actually just tremendous for Doge because you've taken something that really penetrated a lot of, you know, society, especially with Elon, you know, all of his shenanigans up until he went up on SNL, right?
That was like actually the peak.
Like I've never seen a bigger peak, a bigger, more telegraphed peak before.
But no, you've got a, you've got an entire blockchain right now where it's a joke of a joke or it was a fork of a fork entirely made as a joke, right?
The first several hundred thousand blocks were random rewards, right?
So the block rewards were completely randomized because they really didn't want anyone to take it seriously.
So if you were a miner and you, you, you were chosen, you'd get anywhere from one to a million Doge.
And then even, you know, take that one step further.
It actually wasn't truly random.
So all of the big miners were able to see when the huge rewards were going to come in and they would turn off their miners up until like the block when they were like, oh, this is going to be a $700,000, $700,000 Doge reward.
And they turn it on and they, they grab it from the little guys.
So, um, and how much was that worth at the time?
Like, just, just, I'm trying to figure out how nerdy these people actually were.
Like how much was a million Doge worth?
Oh bro, you'd have to hit up CMC or CoinGecko or something.
I mean, it wasn't, I mean, don't forget.
So these blocks are coming every, you get like 10 Doge blocks per every Bitcoin block.
So you've got a lot of these coming through.
So it's, uh, and it was 0.0000, you know, it was tiny, but at the same time, a million of them.
Is it still, is it still random?
No, we nerfed that a long time ago.
Cause I realized this was too much of a joke.
It was like, it was like, actually like so ridiculously dumb that they were like, okay, this was too dumb.
And so they, they undid it, but it actually has a really funny part of history here for, for like Dogecoin ordinals.
Cause all of the original indexers, when, when, um, when Bitcoin ordinals were taken off, people were like, cool, Dogecoin's a fork of a fork.
Uh, all the original indexers came out and they couldn't index around the random block rewards.
So everyone was starting at like block 500,000 and like block a million.
And it's just like, what are you, what was going on?
So, um, it all kind of ties back together.
Kind of funny that way.
So, you know, something I hear a lot, Doge L dot, dot, dot is that Dogecoin is a complete joke.
And it's not just one person saying that it's not just one KOL saying that I've heard many times that Dogecoin, I mean, I just look at the timeline, you look it up, it's a meme, it's a joke.
I mean, Elon has tweeted about it a million times and he's changed the Twitter logo to it.
But a lot of people are saying that Dogecoin is a joke.
You've decided to, to build time and invest into Dogecoin, which if it is a joke, that seems like a big waste of time.
But, but how do you, what do you think about that?
How do you, how do you respond to that, to people that say the Dogecoin ecosystem is a joke?
Cause you, you're obviously taking it seriously.
So I, you know, personally speaking here, right.
Dogecoin has, I think a unique mix that you don't really find anywhere else in, in, in web three, right.
Nope.
No singular blockchain is going to be perfect for, for every use case, right.
What you're seeing right now.
And I think particularly when ordinals really started to, to open up and, and, and kind of start to gain some momentum is,
you went from, um, Dogecoin, which, which has its own, it has its own maxis.
If you can believe it or not, if you want to see my RDMs, you would, uh, very quickly see what I'm talking about.
But you have these people who are like, I only want Doge to be used for payments, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Um, then you've got this, you've got this new kind of technology or protocol, I guess you could call it coming out where now you're able to like, kind of like start adding stuff to this blockchain and you're no longer hosting it outside of the blockchain and linking to it.
You know, like a lot of like the larger NFTs on Ethereum and stuff, um, you're actually just genuinely putting this data, these images, uh, you know, these, these, these tokens directly on the chain itself.
And, and, and, and when you think about that, it's actually really incredible.
It's kind of funny taking us 10 years to get here, but it's just so cool.
But then you, you, you're doing this on Bitcoin and it's costing you a hundred bucks to make a transaction.
It's costing you a hundred bucks to like put a little, you know, up to if, especially if you're going into recursions and stuff.
So it's almost like this fork of a fork has, has created just like almost a perfect sandbox for people who are a trying to like become familiar with this technology, but also be in any kind of use case where you need like larger numbers than like 10 people.
Right.
So you get all these collections on ordinals, Bitcoin ordinals that are like a hundred large, because that's about what you can afford.
What about, you know, your, your audience is about to come in and, and, and want to spend on.
Right. But you flip the script here and you've got collections that are in, you could go into the millions, right?
I mean, you, you're doing things here where you have on chain art, which already is, you know, kind of new and, and just such a, such a different feel from what's going on with, you know, traditionally what we think of as NFTs.
You've heard Elon, I'm sure a couple of times on a couple of different forums now talking about how just linking to an image offline is not the same thing.
It's like, not, it's not what the ethos here really should be about.
Right.
Um, it should be on chain.
This should be permanent.
As long as the chain is running, your art is there forever.
Right.
Your message.
If you, you can write messages onto these things, your, your tokens, they should be natively in the chain itself.
Right.
So ordinals really just took off in that, in that kind of a manner, but then you've got just a huge price barrier to entry.
And you've got this kind of like, you know, Bitcoin's great, but you, when I'm trying to buy, for example, a trading card pack, cause I want on chain assets.
I want, I want trading cards that are on chain that I can then play a game with.
You're paying a hundred dollars for a $5 pack of cards, you know, things like this.
So doge coin right now is seeing this kind of really, it's just kind of positioned itself by accident into this really weird position.
Uh, it was really weird place.
Like back in, if you guys were here in 2020, when Ethereum was taking off, everyone was making all of these, um, you know, like shit coin projects and stuff.
And some of them ended up, you know, really, really taking off.
But if you remember back then, as those Ethereum fees started to skyrocket, BSC, back when it was called Binance Smart Chain, right?
Started to take in that niche of, Hey guys, if, if, if when Ethereum's this much, it costs this much, I really can't get into it.
Wow.
Here's a secondary option we can go tool around with.
We're doing the same stuff.
It's just kind of, uh, maybe the little brother.
And so I think you're seeing a lot of the same parallels here.
And there's not a lot of times in crypto.
I've been here since 2017 where you actually get to basically step in a time machine, right?
We saw what ordinals did on Bitcoin and Dogecoin ordinals is same theory, follows the same ordinals theory, follows the same rules.
Even the first token is a one-to-one, uh, of a Bitcoin of, of already, right?
We have Doge, same circulating supply cap, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Some anonymous guy launched it a long time ago.
It was a free fair mint, all that kind of stuff.
So you're, it's almost like walking into a time machine, going back in time and like going into an ecosystem six months before you already saw it develop.
I think it's just wild.
Yeah, it is really wild.
And, and, you know, not for nothing, this account, the Bark account.
I mean, a lot of people will call, a lot of people refer to this account, refer to this account as Satoshi Nakamoto.
I tell everyone, hey guys, I'm not Satoshi Nakamoto.
But then they say that's exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto would say.
So, look guys, it's, it is what it is.
But this account was on the front lines when BRC20s and ordinals first came about.
And the reason that this account was so interested and, and I thought they were very fascinating was that it was something new.
And not just new as in a new hoodie material or a new take on the metaverse or a new take on, on staking, but something that was alien.
Which to me at the time was very exciting because I got into Web3 very late.
I got into Web3, you know, seriously, fall of 2022.
And I feel like I missed the boat.
I feel like I missed the, the area for massive innovation and, and, and now when I saw ordinals and BRC20s first pop up, it was like, whoa, this is an opportunity to be a part of something new, something fresh and to be a part of the next wave and, and did really well in ordinals.
And now that I see these dogenals and these doge inscriptions and these DRC20s, I'm getting that same tingly feeling and you know where that I had last time.
And it's, and it's, and it's motivating.
It's very exciting because right now in the Dogecoin ecosystem, there is really, really, really smart people, really motivated, excited people building that don't really have a voice.
There's not a big voice.
It's a very small ecosystem.
You know, your favorite influencers are not talking about it.
Your favorite spaces are not talking about it, but there is a lot of people talking about it.
They're just very quiet about it.
And if you look what happened with ordinals, it was a bunch of nerds in a discord OTC trading before marketplace existed one day.
And then the next day, the whole space is talking about them.
I mean, your favorite influencer, all, they all launched ordinals collections.
D-Gods went to, to ordinals.
They launched a collection over there.
Yuga went to ordinals.
They launched a collection on ordinals.
So if history repeats itself, which it often does, if history repeats itself, even if it's a fraction of what happened last time, I do believe, I believe in this account's honest opinion that we may see some similar explosion in interest in Dogecoin, which is why I'm extremely excited about the future for that ecosystem.
But tell me, DogeL...do you really think that people are going to end up taking that chain serious?
Do you really think liquidity is going to move there with all the options, you know, with Bitcoin and ETH and Sol and Kronos and everything?
I mean, how does Dogecoin compete?
Do you actually see liquidity moving into that ecosystem or no?
So, great question.
I'll preface this by saying we didn't even, our team, for example, we didn't even like want to come in to Dogecoin in the first place because of those same, I think, I'll call them conceptions right now, which we found to be misconceptions.
You know, you hear Doge, you think, okay, cool, it's a bunch of kids on Robinhood, you know, first got access to their mom's credit card, maybe bought some because they were like, one cent, now they're 10 cents, you know, a lot of people made a lot of money in that last bull run, because everything went up.
And when things go up, you know, you get a lot of interest, obviously, in Web3, I think a lot of people are here for, you know, some of the financial reasons, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The thing is, what you're looking at on Dogecoin is something that is just not replicatable, or you really just can't find this anywhere else, I think, in the ecosystem.
You'd be really, really hard pressed, and I don't think that there's anything out there even remotely close, because what you're contending with here, right, you have to take a couple of things into effect here when you're trying to analyze these things, right?
So this whole on-chain, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, the fact that it was a fork of a fork of Bitcoin, I think, plays into its strengths in some ways.
It's obviously technologically, plays into maybe a slight bit of a weakness, and this is why you don't see yet a lot of builders.
But I think if you are somebody who isn't trying to even necessarily build, or if you are a builder, but I think especially if you're not someone who's trying to build,
this just is a benefit for you, right, at this point, because it's taken, it's almost like artificially had to lag how far this ecosystem could develop, right?
So you still have a massive, massive following per holder, right?
Arguably maybe the largest holding in terms of retail, regular people, people ready to get back in, ready to, who are holding it, like once again, in Robinhood, looking for something to do with Dogecoin, right?
You have a massive, massive holder base. You have an insane amount of liquidity. This is one of the most liquid tokens in the entire Web3 ecosystem, right?
It's at a very, very, very affordable price. And obviously, if you've been in crypto for a while, like price of this individual token should not matter.
But however, if you've been here for longer than 6, 12 months, you'll know that when you have these tokens that are, and gas, for example, when this is more affordable to the end user,
even if the market cap is higher, that doesn't really honestly translate directly to, oh man, I, you know, it shouldn't get in, it's too big.
You know, when it's like, oh man, I could buy one Bitcoin for $44,000, or I could buy just an epic ton of Dogecoin.
Retail ends up looking at the smaller number thinking, oh, I can get more of this and I want to go in, right?
So you have all of these holders who are still on the sideline from the last runoff.
You have all of these people who are familiar with Doge.
I mean, it hit absolute public mainstream in 2021, right?
2020, 2021.
This is something that has got an insane user base just waiting for something to do with it.
And it's just like a ball of kinetic energy.
And once you start moving it, it's just not going to stop.
We saw that happen last time.
Obviously, you do have cycles, right?
You have tops and bottoms, but you're finally at a point where Dogecoin for the first time in history is doing something
with an amount of people that just are not in any other blockchain, truly like retail.
And that's where all that liquidity is going to come from them.
And obviously, like large scale investors, you have an ecosystem that has yet to really been developed out yet,
but is rapidly being developed.
So this is just becoming a space right now where VCs and stuff are starting to eye and look for their first investments.
And as soon as that floodgate opens, there's just no way you're going to stop it, right?
I mean, if you talk to the random person on the street, they might know Bitcoin and they'll probably know Dogecoin, right?
These are like the two that they'll probably know.
Yeah, maybe Ethereum, but just in terms of your average individual, and this is where all that money is going to come from.
This is where all that interest is going to come from.
This is where people are going to go, wow, wait, I can do what with this?
It's not only just funny dog coin that I can hold and watch it go up and down, which is good.
This is like I can store messages here.
I can create art.
I can create games.
I can host my own, you know, video gaming assets.
This is all of this combined directly on chain with the support of maybe the biggest tech mogul of our day and age, right?
And not even just hidden support, very, very public support.
The moment Elon does something, he realizes, and I'm sure he's seen it.
I've seen some stuff that I'm sure he's familiar with it.
The moment he wants to open that gate, I don't think that you're going to stop it.
So, yeah, in a lot of ways, Dogecoin was a joke.
It's a joke, could be considered a joke, but that's also its strength at the same time.
Maybe I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, but I'm spending a lot of time drinking the Kool-Aid and spending a lot of time developing out resources here for this kind of a thing.
And the amount of adoption we're seeing so far has been astounding, and that's still just from mostly Ordinals people.
Like, it really has not even started to touch that mainstream audience yet.
We still need maybe another step or two to make it as easy as possible for, like, the regular Robinhood user to get in.
But it's just the absolute – it feels like you're standing in front of a dam and you're starting to see those cracks come through.
And I've never been – I haven't been this excited since DeFi started in 2020 and started that crazy bull run.
I think Ordinals is looking to do the same thing, to be honest.
But that's just me, not financial advice, of course.
Thank you for the financial advice.
I'll be taking that explicitly.
You know, the thing that was super interesting that you said is that mental price model of Dogecoin being $0.09 and Bitcoin being $43,000.
Again, if you've been in crypto, you understand what this means.
It's all about percentage gains, right?
Something going from $100 to $200 is the exact same as going from $10,000 to $20,000.
The thing is, is it's all about percentage gain.
And because these are fungible tokens, meaning they can be devised, you can own 0.1 of an Ethereum, right?
You can own – it's fungible money.
It's all about percentage gains.
But the average person – we talked about common sense being thrown out the window.
The average person, when approaching crypto for the first time, Doge L, dot, dot, dot, you made a great point.
The average person sees Dogecoin at $0.09, Bitcoin at $43,000 and says, I could never afford a Bitcoin, but I could buy some Dogecoin.
It is definitely the people's token.
And I really like the price that it's at, at $0.09.
And I really love the idea that, you know, these price hurdles, right?
To $0.10, to $0.20, to $0.25, to $0.50, to $0.75, to $1.
If you were here in the last bull market when Elon was pumping the shit out of it, you remember these chants.
And it was fun.
It was exciting.
Actually, if you remember Dogecoin, it went from, I think, like $0.13 to $0.30.
And my heart was just racing.
And I was at the gym.
I was like, holy shit, this thing is going to $1.
And it didn't.
But people also said that Dogecoin will flip Bitcoin, which would mean that it would put a market cap bigger than the entire GDP of Earth.
But it's just funny because no one gives a shit.
Dogecoin, to me, is as serious and unserious as it gets.
There's a lot of serious builders.
There's a lot of serious activity going on, but everyone is, it's lighthearted.
They know how to take a joke.
They know how to laugh, and they don't take themselves too seriously.
These Bitcoin people, these ETH people, yo, these Sol people, they take shit way too seriously, man.
You say, like, hey, I think Sol, you know, you know, I used to say all the time, which I kind of regret at this point because of the backlash.
I said that the CEO of Solana keeps a light switch in his office, and he turns the chain on and off when he feels like it.
And the whole Solana Foundation were writing hate threads about this account because a lot of people still believe that narrative, by the way, that the CEO could turn off the chain with a light switch.
But I digress.
They take themselves way too seriously.
Dogecoin, Elon says he's putting a Doge rocket ship together, and everyone cheers.
That's more my style.
That's more my vibe.
And the fact that the gas is so low that anyone can participate, even if you have zero, guys, if you have zero dollars, you're from the middle of fucking nowhere in a country, you got zero dollars, you just hang out.
Someone will gift you Doge.
Like, someone's going to come in and gift you some free Doge to go play, to have fun, to be a part of the community.
It's definitely a community where everyone can be welcome, and that's what I think is really exciting, Doge Labs.
And just curious, I mean, you said you're excited.
Are you guys, like, are you busy now?
Are you guys working, or are you just kind of waiting for things to happen?
You're a marketplace, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, akin to your point, like, our largest, let me just hop back one second.
Our largest, right, amount of users actually come from places like Indonesia and Singapore, where it is more cost affordable.
Like, these are the, this is the place for, you know, communities like there, that they can come in and kind of just start to really feel like they belong, right?
They can actually start getting used to it just because it's so cost effective.
We did come out, and we are a marketplace for ordinals.
We're also the largest wallet.
But, and to give you kind of a little bit of sense of the growth here, back in August, when the marketplace first came out, it took us 22 days to hit 1,000 downloads on Chrome, the Chrome Web Store.
And two days ago, we had 3,500 in a single day.
So, that's the kind of, we're still seeing, you know, it's still early, still super early.
And I know that's kind of, that term is thrown around a lot, but between, the reason why it's taking so long, right, the reason why it's taken up until maybe this point, I think you're finally starting to see an ecosystem that is, that is fully ready to go.
But this is only something that's happened within the last maybe four or five weeks, is it's just, it wasn't a one-to-one carbon copy of Bitcoin.
And once again, to the end user, I think this is just in their benefit.
It took a lot of time to get, like, partially signed transactions onto Dogecoin.
That wasn't something that, we didn't have Taproot, right?
Dogecoin didn't have Taproot, so we had to come out and develop that.
So, while we are a marketplace and a wallet, we're also the infrastructure, the main infrastructure provider for Dogecoin ordinals.
It's open source, so it's, we follow ordinals theory as close as possible because we're big fans of ordinals.
We just wanted to do the same exact thing from Bitcoin over just on Dogecoin for the different kind of audience that, you know, maybe wants to toy around with different kind of parameters of the original space.
But it's an automated, fully automated marketplace.
You couldn't have that really before.
I'm sure maybe you saw, it's finally starting to get picked up by exchanges.
Gate had listed one of the first tokens that was on Dogecoin.
You have meme coins on a meme coin.
I mean, it's absolutely almost unreal.
Every day I wake up, I think I'm dreaming, to be honest, because it just seems, like, so ironic.
But you have these tokens that are generated on Dogecoin.
It went from, Doge went from three cents to six bucks on that listing within, it was within three and a half weeks.
Like, it may have been, but nobody knows about it because it's not listed on, like, CoinMarketCap, you know, any of those guys.
I think CoinGecko's got it now.
But you just have this ecosystem that is just starting to develop.
It's just starting to get to the point where, well, now I can go in and get a wallet from, like, a refutable.
You used to have, like, a zip, you know, unzip your own wallet and then hope that whatever was in there was, like, good code, you know.
Now it's on the Chrome store, so anyone can check it.
It's open source, right?
The infrastructure, the indexers and stuff are open source.
The Ord is open source.
The marketplace is fully automatic.
It used to have the OTC.
I saw people, I saw somebody get scanned for 32,000 Dogey, and that, you know, at the $6 peak is a disgusting amount of money, right?
So you no longer need to trust any of that.
It works like the rest of the crypto ecosystem, but that's only within this last, I'd say, four weeks.
We're really just hitting our stride right now.
That's awesome, man, and it's good to hear.
I love seeing growth in the ecosystem.
I love seeing things pick up.
Obviously, the Bitcoin ordinals and BRC20s made a lot of people a lot of money, especially the people that believed in it early.
And I think we have the same thing here.
And, again, this isn't some financial guru, some financial advice, some whatever.
This is life-changing advice.
And I think that for pennies on the dollar and or free, if you hang out in these spaces, you can go pick up an ordinal.
You can go pick up some DRC20s.
I mean, you could go buy, literally.
Some of these DRC20s are fractions of a penny, fam.
So if you just hang out, you're bound to catch something.
You never know what might happen.
Some of it might end up being valuable, which is what happened with these BRC20s.
It was five guys.
The ordi mint on BRC20, it was a free mint.
You paid gas.
And it's what Shibo eternally faded.
And it basically turned five million into a quarter million.
And I'm not saying that's what's going to happen here on Doge.
Don't think that's what it is at all.
I'm just saying that if there's any sort of movement similar to what happened with ordinals and BRC20s, I think there could be some exciting things happening.
And certainly, don't forget and don't mistake that Dogecoin is the—it might even be more known than Bitcoin, or it's very close.
Maybe not more known, but it's very close.
Everyone's heard about it.
And Elon shoving that shit down everyone's throat is not a—it's not something to be underrepresented.
He's never once talked about how great ETH is and made an ETH rocket ship.
He's never—he's not going around saying that Solana is the future, Solana to the moon.
We have the number one influencer on Earth shilling Dogecoin.
And on January 12th, he's launching a rocket ship into space called Doge1.
There's going to be a satellite circling the moon called Doge1.
And if that doesn't excite you, it's not called Solana1.
It's not called ADA1.
It's not called Cardano1.
It's called Doge1.
If that doesn't excite you, I don't know what is.
I think there's some plans going on here that none of us are qualified to know.
But all I know is that I'm getting my butt over on Doge.
I don't even have that much money in Doge.
I just picked up a couple cool things on there that I like.
A lot of these things are like a dollar, fam.
And you can get them for free, again, if you hang out in these spaces.
Wi-Fi was saucing out Doge to the beginners and everything, so it's super fucking fun.
So Doge Labs.
Okay, so your marketplace.
Everybody go make sure you follow them and keep an eye on them.
I think there might be some good things coming from them.
And, again, if you're interested in Doge, there's something pinned up to the top.
I don't know if this is Doge or what the hell this is.
Some guy named Bark posted it.
There's 10 whitelist spots going out for some random free.
I have no idea what this is.
I really don't.
But if I were you, I wouldn't fade that.
I would probably engage with that.
So that's where that's at.
So, man, it's been a good day.
It's been a really fucking good day.
Yo, Eric, you interrupted me earlier.
I know.
I interrupted you.
I'm sorry about that, Bark.
You actually had a really good speech about social engineering and all the things you were saying.
And I appreciate you having me up, man.
Bark, Shebo Books.
I had so much I wanted to say because there were so many amazing things that we were talking about in this space.
All right.
The last thing I...
All right, dude, this isn't Valentine's Day.
You don't need to glaze me up, okay?
So many amazing things, everything.
Dude, we're just...
I'm literally up here walking in circles around my kitchen, eating blueberries, yelling into a phone about how to shorten your name on Twitter.
It's not...
There's nothing amazing going on here.
But I appreciate the flowers.
But I don't at the same time.
You want to take down your enemy?
Give them compliments.
Make them content.
I know exactly what you're doing, Eric.
You're trying to take me down.
No, man, man, man.
No, no.
Like, it's 4 a.m. here in Beijing.
It's New Year's.
Man, I'm in this space.
Like, that says something at 4 a.m. here, listening to what you guys are talking about and wanting to join the conversation.
I've had it.
I've had it.
I've had it.
All I'm hearing is excuses.
Yep.
Not bad.
Mark, I've been listening to your space for some time now.
I would say about three weeks.
And, dude, I must say, you need to work harder.
I'm looking at YouTube.
I'm looking at Instagram Lives.
People are pulling in thousands of listeners.
At times, over 100,000.
You're over here with 670 acting like a celebrity.
I think you need to turn it up a notch.
I think you need to work harder.
I think you need to show up more.
I don't think you're showing up enough.
And maybe then I'll give you some flowers.
But as of right now, bro, you're slacking.
You're talking to me?
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah, I probably do need to work a little bit harder.
Well, then maybe Eric can teach me.
Dude, that's someone that really cares.
No, I want to talk about the RC20s.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I know you want to talk, dude.
I know you want to talk, dude.
Your mute button is as light as a fucking feather.
I'm sorry, but I want to talk about the RC20s.
This is a hate thread coming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you feel it, books?
Can you feel it?
4 a.m. in Beijing.
Well, look, I'll put it this way, okay?
Eric, I don't often do this, but you've been chilling in this space.
It's 4 a.m.
You've had your hand up for a long time.
So I appreciate you staying up so late to be a part of this space.
But that's it.
So everyone show Eric a little bit of love, yo.
Let's see some hearts for Eric for staying up super late.
No, it's not about that, man.
Hold on, Eric.
Hold on, dude.
I can give you – you gave me flowers.
Let me give you a little bit.
All right, that's all good.
I actually wanted to contribute a conversation.
Let me give you just flowers for –
I hope I can.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Just everyone give Eric a little heart.
Show your appreciation.
Eric, take a scroll through.
This is what it means to put in the effort and put in the work,
be here on spaces late into the night to really, really work hard
and get ahead of the game.
That's all I wanted to say, man.
You gave me some flowers.
I wanted to give you some flowers, bro.
So it's 4 a.m. in Beijing.
It's New Year's.
You're in here grinding.
Tell us what's on your mind, man,
and tell us kind of how you feel about the whole conversation.
Yeah, no, I mean, so the first thing –
