Yo, yo, yo
GM GM, how's it going? My man?
Getting these discord announcements and tweets going, you know getting some people in here letting things
Pick up here. It's a good day today, right some positive news from old SPF and everywhere else out in the
Out in the world. So it's a good day to be having a space. I think oh
Man, I haven't even I haven't even done that rabbit hole this morning. So I have no idea what's going on. You want to enlighten me
He was officially arrested yesterday
They they finally took him into custody
so he was supposed to I think
speak today at
Congress and had been sort of like
Refusing last minute so there's there's because there's been some weird stuff about that where people were like
Why would you arrest him before he testified like let him go dig his grave deeper?
But I think he was kind of like backing out last second. Anyway, regardless. So either way they got that they got his ass. He's in custody
Damn, I mean, I guess that's good news for the boys. I
Wonder what he would have said if he testified though, I
Mean I can only imagine it would have gone
Similarly to what he was saying in all of these random Twitter spaces. He was on which was a whole lot of nothing
Like I think I think the favorite sound bite I got out of one of the recent Twitter spaces. He did he
Was on and how was the guy's name Callie? Oh, I think is his name
was talking to him and
The whole time SPF was sort of maintained like I didn't know what was on alameda's balance sheet
You know, I wasn't involved in the day-to-day blah blah blah and then like
Literally 45 seconds later in the same
Space as he was like, well, you know, alameda had like billions of dollars of Bitcoin on hand and it was like, okay
Well, how can you say that you don't know the balance sheet and then also say that you know a couple of the assets
They have like so I don't think that any conversation he had in public would have gone in his direction
Yes sounds like it I can only imagine what it would have been like had there been you said he was on Twitter spaces, correct?
Yeah, all the time for some reason like the guy was just really I
Was surprised at how talkative he was on Twitter spaces. I
Wonder what the the comment section would have looked like if it was a twitch chat style during that that Twitter space
Oh, it was nuts and it sucked cuz like the first one that he really did with people like from
the community was with a bunch of you know, like
YouTube influencer
type people and they just didn't really have anyone that was on the panel that was asking the right questions because they just didn't have
The knowledge of what to ask not to say that I would know but I was like damn man
If you know a couple days in advance this guy's coming on
I would get somebody that knows what they're talking about to sort of cross-examine this guy, you know
Yeah, I feel like if more people really dug into the things that that were going on probably would have been found much
earlier to be honest
Yeah, so we'll we'll see how this whole getting getting picked up in the Bahamas situation turns out for him
I can't imagine it goes. Well, I know also a couple weeks ago someone had posted that they saw
Caroline was already in
New York, so I can't I can't imagine that she was there for no reason
I bet that there's a world where they sort of got pitted against each other
Did she never end up making it to who was a Dubai that she was she was intending to go to I
Have not seen anything else from her last I saw she was in New York and she was like grabbing coffee in a bagel at
A place that was like pretty close to the FBI offices
And so people were obviously like trying to connect the dots on what was going on there
Interesting definitely an eye emoji. I wonder what I wonder what was going on there. I
Mean if I had to guess what was going on was she was trying to
Avoid a long stint in jail herself, you know
Sound definitely sounds like it for sure
Well, we ordinarily if you've not been to a yaku's day before I know we've got guardians here
I think guardians you've been on before and we have a newcomer
the culture
Club here as well culture cards and a beer one infinite so we have got everyone minus wise whales
but I think he is like doing the Twitter spaces like
Non-stop right now because they've got a mint coming up pretty soon
So he may be on a couple minutes late
but we ordinarily just kind of shoot the shit and talk markets for the first couple of minutes and
Let people join give them time to jump in and then we'll go around and do
Like two to three minute intros from everybody lets people know what you're working on
And then we'll sort of do more deep dives into projects and get specifics and ask people in the audience to pop up and ask questions
Awesome I do have to say from a community manager standpoint
I don't know what kind of insight I can give on the markets, but I will certainly try my best
We're all we're all participating right it's a it's an interesting weird time like I think today is another round of
CPI data, so I'll be interested to see what those numbers look like the coins are moving the coins are going in a good direction
I don't know if it's gonna keep up or not
I think it's gonna depend a lot on how the rest of today shakes out with that data
But we could we could see some good positive price movement
Guardians and culture cards, how's it going? How you doing this morning?
Do you really good? Thanks? How are you? Thanks for for having us on?
Not sure I have a brilliant insight on the under coins
I think like we all kind of lost on the trends these days like you feel like you have two
Solid, you know days in a row and then I don't know Wednesday just ruined it all so so I don't I don't really know
I mean this is gonna be quite key
But you know with the with the feds
Giving some some trend there. So we'd probably be following that very closely
But I wouldn't bet much on any trend right now, but let's say that's gonna be you know
Landing a bit on something that you can follow long term
Yeah, I'm curious for you guys being based in France. Like how closely do you actually follow?
Announcements from the Fed because I know obviously like the US dictates a decent portion of like international markets
but I don't know if you sort of just are
Watching it as like a general sentiment or if it's like considered very important or if it's just like another sort of drop in the bucket
No, it's actually very important that we probably follow it as much as we would see if we were based like in LA or New
York, you know to be honest, so we follow it as being you know, which sets the market. So
That's kind of key, you know, and I don't think that any
French only initiative would change the markets much
Being very humble about it. So so so I feel like no anyway, I mean whenever you were in crypto
You need to follow what's what's really impact the markets and you know, what this is. This is one of the key
Elements of the mix. So we do follow the feds announcements. Yeah
Very interesting culture cards GM GM. Hey, Jim, are you guys doing firstly enough? I'm French as well
But I'm basing
Between Los Angeles and Australia. I mean Australia at the moment. So but I have a few business in America as well. So
Yeah, I mean regarding the market and all that right now to be honest, I have my popcorn and watching this
SBF thing like, you know, so, you know, that's gonna be very interesting
just trying to
To I mean, you know to follow that thing from close because we in web 3 but my
Initially like, you know coming from web 2 and I'm from the music business. I used to work for Universal Music for seven years. So
Yeah, basically that's that's where we at
So if you're in Australia, what time is it for you right now? It's midnight. I'm in Perth. Oh
Shit. Okay. I actually I was really close to ending up in Perth like a month ago
Weirdly enough was one of my like best friends early friends. I made in crypto lives in Perth
He's from there and I was over in Southeast Asia
So it was a pretty close flight over there and I almost was like exactly I've never met him in person
He never goes to events, but he told me come to Perth. We can kick it and I was really really close to roll
That way. I just couldn't quite pull it off. Oh, man, you should I mean
Perf is like pretty it's pretty cool. I mean, it's very quiet quiet cities a beach town like, you know
It's very uh, it's great. I mean I used to live in a I was born in Bordeaux
But I used to live between LA and Dubai like a lot so very
Busy cities now like being perfect. It's just like, you know, it can be quiet and calm
Quick question for the the guy behind the Yahoo account. I don't want to call you that for the rest of the space
So can I get your name before I say what I'm about to say? Yes, absolutely
So this is a poppy Chulo Grimm
You can call me poppy or I am Doc's my real name is Cole if you're uncomfortable calling me poppy
But that's okay. Either way for some reason it's hilarious when I go to the events and I tell people that I'm like if you don't
Want to call me poppy in person because it is a little awkward. That's fine
You don't have to I have a real name and then funny enough after I do that and people say it's kind of weird
They never call me Cole. They always call me poppy literally no matter what which cracks me up
So poppy Cole, whatever you're comfortable with. I
Don't know what I'm gonna stick to but for right now Cole, I just want you to know
I'm not sure about wise whales, but myself
Guardians and culture card. They're actually all French speakers. We are from Montreal, Quebec
So we actually also speak for we speak the uglier French to be honest, but we do still speak French
Maybe we're getting a French space in here. What's going on, dude?
Okay, so that's really fucking funny because our founder is French. He is from Paris
So like we've always joked that it's really hard to find like good French spaces
Because that's like really where he would like thrive, you know as a public speaker
So maybe we need to just get scheduled straight up like a French crypto
Spaces like what every once in a while because let's go
I mean at this point do we have a whole crew of people and if we're really trying to onboard more people, you know
I don't think there's any harm and doing some French spaces, right? I
Have to admit I don't think I'd be able to keep up with
With these guys just because I am more on the anglophone side. I speak more English than French that being said
Yeah, I can I can say the stereotypical line from the Moulin Rouge song and that is about it my guys
Well, okay, we're rolling up we're 12 minutes after here
So everybody if you don't know space is always recorded
You're more than welcome to tune back in if you miss out you can come back and check out what you missed
But we have got some great projects up here. We've got at least one that is minting very soon
I'm really excited to hear from br1
I saw their set up at games day in Lisbon and it looked beautiful
They're also built on unreal engine. So excited to hear what's going on with these guys. I know that said what?
Unity. Oh my bad unity, but I believe we talked about some unreal engine potential plugins
So maybe that's
Okay, yeah, so maybe maybe that's what I'm confusing there, but either way a lot going on there
So that said I am going to let you kick us off
Br1 if you want to do just like a two to three minute intro for anyone who may not know what you guys have got going on
Let's get it going my man
Awesome. Hi guys. My name is Jayden. I go by Solana Chad br1 on Twitter
I am the community manager here at Bravo ready studios the makers of
Br1 infinite the first risk-based shooter where players pay to spawn kill to earn and once you die
You retain up to 85% of your earnings. What does that mean?
Each player pays $1 to spawn into a six kilometer in diameter map. There's no timer. No start. No finish
No winner once you die you take the dollar or 10% of the ante up of the person you killed or sorry
I'm of the value of the person you killed whichever one is greater
Once you die, you keep 85% 10% goes to the player that killed you and 5% comes to us as a service fee
Our flagship game mode is infinite Royale. So like I said, no stop. No start note. Sorry, no timer
No finish no winner. You just infinitely respawn paying that $1 or whichever risk mode you decide you want to choose
We have two collections right now our
Genesis 8 operatives who actually retain 90% we don't take a service fee from them and our droid operatives
We are currently in closed beta giving away beta keys
Which also count as whitelist to our next collection, which is our human mints. So we'll have apes droids and humans. Thanks guys
Lovely lovely summary. I've very much appreciated man. And next I'm gonna pop it over since it's late over there the culture cards
Give the people like a two to three minute rundown, which I'm really interested
We've been talking a little bit to you guys and I don't know as much about your project
But got referred over to you to hear a little bit more. So I'm excited to hear what you guys have going on
Yeah, no, definitely. Definitely. So I'm Fred Frenchie, you know CEO and founder of the culture card as I say earlier
I'm from you know, a music industry to work for seven years in a
Universal music group
And handling all the international departments or handling tours for all the urban artists
So to name a few like, you know, Eminem 50 cents bus rhyme Pharrell Williams and so on
Accredited the culture card. So during the pandemic
Created that projects that kind of celebrate and reward the architects of the culture
so the culture card is basically a collection of authenticated and officially licensed NFT trading cards, you know with statistics and
Basically what we do is that we basically bridging the gap between web 2 and web 3
Regarding the culture. So we through a burning mechanism that we build like, you know, we have like our own
Burning marketplace so people are able to acquire the card and gets like, you know, real IRL
Experiences with the talent that we have signed so those
Experiences basically range from ticket to concert VIP meet and greets going on tour with artists studio sessions
You know master classes internships and so on. So yeah, so it's basically what we do is like, you know
Connect connecting the you know, the buyer with the icons of the culture
I'd love it, man. I'm very excited to learn more about that
I uh fun fact my my connection to only one of the artists you mentioned my mom used to be Eminem's mom's probation officer
So there's my claim to fame very very close with the Mathers family over there
So, you know Paul, you know Paul and then like, you know, everybody other oh, I don't I don't actually know them
I don't think that they really like to hang out with my mom, you know
No, no not at all, but he is so funny enough
So he's actually before he lived in Detroit
He is from right literally down the road for me in a small town outside of Kansas City and his grandma still lives here
So I have seen his grandma a few times when I was a waiter in college
She loved the restaurant I worked at and would come in all the time and I'm literally not making this up
She carried business cards with her that literally said she was Eminem's grandma. I was fucking hilarious
On on that note
Speaking of wise individuals on the microphone, we've got wise whales here wise whales my man Dave
What's up? Give the people a little intro of what you've got going on
What's going on, man? I'm I'm I'm definitely down to call you poppy
No problem here. Also big fan of culture cards. These guys are you know, the value proposition there. It's huge
You know, these guys are these guys are out here killing it under the radar
so I would definitely kind of pay attention and follow them and
I found the big fan of BR1 to say here we go fan of all you guys
appreciate it
I think I gave you guys your first review on your website
Actually, I was on I was on call with your with your founder
So, you know being there being that from the beginning and love what you guys are doing and just like you guys are
using one of these communities that are just always around at hackers spaces like me
hacker houses and just like really kind of like right just like embedded deep in the insulin ecosystem and
You know appreciate you guys
Yeah, so so what we do at wise whales is we look at on-chain data and we find all the whales
so we find all the deep by whales and the NFT whales just by looking at exchange volume and marketplace volume and
We do a deep dive on literally every whale we analyze the transaction history and
We measure their profitability over time and the most profitable whales we call the wise whales
So we don't just pick some influencer walls to track. We literally find the most profitable whales on the blockchain and
We do we do some clustering so we find their burner waltz as well and we display
What they're doing their tokens or NFTs in their deep eye positions protocol by protocol
And the moves that they've made in different time frames from one hour to one week
so for example, what swaps they've made perpetual positions are in and
Most important to us the NFT collections that they've bought and sold in these time periods
so we have
We have different levels of analysis so you can jump in and we have a section that we're building like 80% of what we
Were building is built already. We've been doing this for over a year
But one section that we're still about to build is the red light green light section ironically our simplest kind of lowest data
Threshold section which is you go in and you see the the high volume collections and they're just shaded and kind of red or green
depending on how
Much by activity from these wise whales there is just a very quick overview if you have you have a minute
If you want to dig in a little bit deeper our core product is really our tables that are kind of data
Aggregated over all these wise whales so very kind of actionable information
Basically you go in and you click a time frame
So let's say you want to know what's going on over the last one hour
You go in and you can see what the wise whales are buying selling a listing in this hour collection by collection
So for example, the claim is or is maybe they're buying like 25 claim a source selling eight and listing
You know seven in the last hour that's bullish and in fact what I do multiple times a day
I go in there and I sort by by volume and I look where the we have a column buys minus sales
I look where that's you know high and I and I dig in a little more so you can click in and
This is for tier two holders. So if you want even more
deeper level of analysis
We showed the distribution. So not just how many wise worlds with the distribution through these wise whales. Is it one?
Wise whale buying 25 or is that a whole bunch spread out through through the wallets?
And so that's kind of a more bullish signal
And most importantly we released a few days ago our graphs just super excited about
So you can see it's basically if you've been on soul sniper tensor, you know candlestick charts
OHLC data
of these NFT collections, but for us we have the the sales are in our scatter plot
You know overlaid on top so you can see with points all the sales that happen and we color code them
So we have their green if it's a wise whale buying
it's red if it's a wise whale selling and
And you know gray otherwise and we're also going to be adding when the bots
Are getting in paper handed whales diamond handed whales
So there'll be a whole bunch of color coded information so you can see throughout all these sales kind of which kind of
Group is doing the buying at any given time and price point
We have notifications for when the wise whales are
You know, there's a confluence of information and we have signals. They've been doing really well
Already and this is kind of version one. We're going to be spending a lot of time iterating on it
So, you know our signals are just gonna get better and better if you have community
you can reach out to me and we can set you up with our discord bot it requires 10 NFTs and
It will basically give 50% of our signals that we're getting like a random 50%
Because we can't get the full value of our wise whales to other communities
But also a whole bunch of other information sharing like when we think like when wise whales are
making big token swaps and
Things like when there's like when we think there's when we detect bot activity watch trading or just paper handed whales
That are likely to dump on retail for certain collections
So yeah, super excited. Our mint is going to be in two days on elixir. We're actually the first
first collection to be launching on on elixir
after after their their collection and
We'll actually be using sensei labs or presale tomorrow as well
And I think we're the first to use their presale tool
So happy to excite, you know, I'm super bullish on both those communities
So, you know, I really like love that we're we're first on on both of those
Our collection is 2750 the full collection will be 55 55
But we're only minting half of them now
The other half will be minted kind of months down the road where the markets better. So it's 2750
The price is 75 USDC
And you can hit me up if you have any questions
There's any questions here happy to feel them if not, you can join our discord and ask if anyone wants whitelist
Hop into our discord open the ticket happy get you and you can ping me directly Dave
Go ahead Danny. Also, what's up, brother? Yeah. Yeah. Hey guys. Sorry that I'm late
I had the kids as usual
So I had to excuse myself for a little bit now
The question for you Dave is do you think I'm gonna be in the wise whale category category or do you have a dumb whale?
Yeah, unfortunately, we've done the analysis and you're you're the you're the worst whale
You're at the bottom of the way now I'm just joking but yeah, we actually you know
I know we joke about this before but we actually might be making a kind of unwise wheel section
And again, we don't we don't docs any walls by the way guys
So if you're worried about that, you know, we don't docs wallets. Everything's aggregated
Even when we're talking about the distribution through the wall through our wise whales. It's just numbered. You don't actually see the wallets
We don't really see the benefit. We just want to know what the best traders are doing and how it's broken down, right?
But yeah, we're thinking about making an unwise section
Essentially as a counter trade, right? Like don't you guys are doing here's the bottom 20% of the whales
You know do the opposite
It's pretty much gonna be all the influencers, right?
Recognizing your wallet there and being like oh shit
Need to dox mine for people to figure it out. I think I think it would take not a lot of time
Poppy's dumbass is buying stupid shit again
No, I'm super bullish on you guys
I think it you know, it's it is. I mean granted. It's a saturated market and in a low in a low
In a low market that we're in now
It looks like these kind of tools are the ones that could actually save you from making mistakes, right? The more information you have
The better the chances you are of actually making a smart trade. So I'm bullish on you guys
I wish you the best of luck. I'll definitely be be minting
Go appreciate you. Yeah
I mean, you know even in this market like definitely there are opportunities that come up and there they could there are some some big
opportunities and
You know if you just to catch a couple of these kind of really big opportunities as as they're coming up early
You know you can make a lot of money and we've had a number of situations where you know
All the big moves it's like we see those really early because the wise whales
It only takes a few wise whales to buy in to trigger kind of our you know to trigger our signals
And you know, especially as we're iterating on this thing and getting better
It's like and when you have a run-up when there's like some bullish news and you get a whole bunch of smart people getting in
Like we see that really early especially the stronger the signal like the stronger the movement is gonna be the earlier and better
It comes through to us
And so, you know, we've been you know, we've been able to get some nice three axes
Forex is even even in this fair market over the last couple months and they want to be if you want to be patient
It's like just wait for those big opportunities
Yeah, go ahead Danny. Have you have you thought about like I've been getting more and more into one-of-one art
Recently simply because the market is taking us kind of there the liquidity on one-of-one art is becoming stronger in
In this kind of market. Have you looked at potentially adding some of those?
signals to one-of-one art
Yeah, there's definitely no reason why we couldn't and I agree
I mean basically what we're gonna be doing from this point forward because we've we built like 80% of what we want to build
And we're kind of thinking what we want to build next and it'll be kind of determined by a couple things
What the community wants us to build and where the liquidity is and I think there's you know
One-of-one art is definitely, you know, there's if there's a push and there's enough liquidity there
We can do the same thing like there's no there's no difference. It won't even you know, this is not a
You know a huge pivot for us
You know one thing we're we're definitely gonna be doing is getting more into NFT phi, right?
So lending and borrowing and and also, you know more importantly
You know some of these leveraged platforms that are being built especially with margin trading
I'm really you know
I'm hoping I'm praying that there's going to be a bunch of liquidity moving into this and so we going in that direction and figuring out
How best display this information to our holders, but one-of-one art. Yeah
I mean, this is definitely on the table as well
I'd have to kind of look into the numbers and see how much kind of liquidity is flying in there
But if it makes sense, yeah, I mean, of course, I
Love it. Thanks, man
And next up let's get an intro from the team here over at guardians
Hey, so I'm Nico from from guardians
And basically our project is all about you know
One of those famous bridges between web 2 and web 3 rights our area of focus will be eSports
So I just hope that everyone or at least most of you guys know what the eSports is
I mean a lot of us are gamers
So you probably know that eSports is kind of the competitive side of gaming rights
We actually have some gaming projects around the table. So they know for sure
but but basically what we what we plan to do is
offer to web 3
What we are currently doing on the web 2 sides because as a bit of background context
On top of being one of the founders of guardians and part of the managing team of a web 2
Is port team which is called game art and this team is competing on different video games like a League of Legends
Counter-Strike and Fortnite so all web 2 games for now at least
And so basically we're trying to build
something similar on the web 3 sides
But only similar because what we really want to fully change
With the web 3 angle is that we would be empowering the community because on the web 2 side what our fans can do is
Only be kind of passive fans, right?
They can only follow the team like you know and comment on the activity
But they big don't own anything from her from the team that they don't own any
Any assets from the team if the team wins or loses it can only be sad or happy but nothing really changes for them
Right. They don't have a skin in the game. What we'll be doing with the with the web 3 activity with guardians
We'll be having a doubt madam managing properly any sport team. So the Dow will be making all the decisions
The Dow will be based on an NFT collections
With the with the robots that you can see in the in our in our PFP
Which is a one of the three classes that will be releasing
But basically the Dow will be making all the decisions regarding the competitive aspects of the team
So which game to compete on you know web 2 web 3 whatever
But I'm kind of pushing for the web 3 games to be very honest with you guys
Because I think there's much more future there
but also, you know on which geography they want to compete or
Or basically which player they want to recruit which coaches will be managing the team and stuff like that
so all the the management of the team will be led by the Dow you can just think of
Something like you know football manager of if anyone in the room today as you know
As played football manager or formula one manager, I don't I don't know
But this type of game where you really manage and make all the calls for for your for your team
So that's one key aspect of the project
The second aspect of the other project is to to offer utilities around what we call the e-sports experience
This is actually something very important to us, which will be like a massive difference in the market because right now
Even if you are a kind of a follower of a team or fan of a team
You can't really interact, you know in depth with the team
But on our side what we'll be doing is all the NFT holders will be experiencing like the almost a daily life of the team
So it will go from exclusive content, you know on social media, which only NFT holders will be exposed to but you basically meeting the
Players meeting the coaches getting some one-on-one, you know sessions to level up on one game or another
Master classes from the coaches from management team and also that's gonna be extremely exciting because when you are a follower of a team
Or if you're just a player of a game
You never really have the opportunity to you know to to have like an hour session
You know in our long session with a player or with the coach and that's gonna be a difference maker in the space because no
One really does that right now
So so that's the type of of utility that will be offering on the e-sports side
And of course, you know system will be competing on games
It will be winning cash prices, you know for some of the games offering cash prices and all of the games
Also, including some of the sponsoring revenues that will be getting will be shared among the NFT holder
So it's really about you know
Going I mean getting in control of a team impacting the decisions
In from you know, choosing the color of the jersey or the logo to actually you know
Choosing which player should be competing next week. So it's gonna be a very complete experience around the gaming and exports
It's interesting the synergy among some of the guys up here today
Like the the sort of concepts between I think like culture cards and guardians are so similar
Despite being in like completely different industries, right? But this idea of
leveraging web 3
communities and ownership to sort of get access to events and
These unique ways to interact with you know teams and artists and things
It's just it's so funny because we have such at the same time a wide array of people up here, right?
Like we've got a couple gaming projects. We have the wise whales with on-chain data analytics
I just for me
It's so cool at the time right now to look at what is being built and who is providing what and see
how broad it is like how wide the spectrum is of what is an NFT and
At the same time like how we're getting outside of just the digital sphere. It's fun
It's just it's really cool to hear so I'm very excited. I love all the intros and on that note
I am gonna circle back to
Culture cards so culture cards one of my follow-up questions for you guys. I'm curious
What got you started in web 3 in general and and as a follow-up why culture cards?
Like what was it that led you to this sort of experiential trading card game?
the first question
so basically
because I'm from web 2 and I
I'm from like, you know the music industry
I have like, you know
Extensive like, you know
relationship with a lot of different talents and so I when I decided to you know, when
The pandemic happened and the touring business started to decline
I wanted to kind of leverage like, you know, my
relationships and
Basically, I did my due diligence and I went to you know, that brand new ecosystem and I was trying to find
A project that was really like, you know celebrating the culture the way I wanted to write
We seen in this ecosystem. There's a lot of project that using the culture
But you know either paying talent is paying like, you know artists or paying
inferences to to basically, you know, promote their project or like, you know promoting the fact that
Let's say DJ Khaled bought bought a board a post look dog. That's this or like, you know all the whatever but
clearly, there was no project that was celebrating and rewarding the true architects of the culture, so I
Decided to create that because I've been working with a lot of pioneers and legend of of the culture in general
And I'm not just talking about hip-hop but the culture and then I wanted to kind of make sure that they're being
You know celebrated and rewarded the right way, right? And also ownership was like a very very
Dear element to me right to make sure that I'm bored and I bring those
Talent to web 3 but also being able to educate elevate and give back to the culture
So there's a very big education component to this project
Where I'm I'm able to come to those type of spaces, right?
Get the knowledge and go back to the culture and break it down to them in a very easier way
So they can come back and then be part of that ecosystem, right? Which is very important because as you know
especially right now a
I would say
95% of the culture is skeptical about like anything crypto or NFT and all of that, right?
So it takes someone from the culture to break it down very easily to them to make sure that okay to convince them to stay
Right because that's the that's the issue right now
So but that's basically, you know, what the how I've been able to to
You know create that project really are leveraging my my
Relationship and again, as I say those those talent that I talked about earlier. They're all involved in every aspect
So we signing contract with them and their lawyers they involve in the promotion. We're doing like, you know spaces with them
We're doing spaces with them every Sunday and bring them to that to that ecosystem so I can introduce them to a to web3
So I don't only rely on them, you know
Because having having a knowing celebrity and having them around in your circle is not enough
Like you need to constantly do the work and that's why I'm doing that's why I'm up at 1 a.m. Talking to you guys
That's the the first part
The second part like why the culture cards I
Mean I'm a huge fan of like, you know
All the you know trading cards in general, right?
Like, you know when I was younger, I was collecting all the soccer cards and all that and and even in the gaming side of things
I play a FIFA like, you know FIFA and like soccer like, you know a lot and I if you if you are when you
You be able to find out about culture card. You will see some similarities, right? We don't have a thing
so we've been able to create like, you know, a
concept where
We able to educate web3 to the culture but also the culture to web3
So through those cards you have like statistic the bio of the artist
like, you know, we basically have like a very interesting gamification and
You know with that project. So the reason why I created the culture card in that
I mean in that form is because I was a huge like, you know fan of that
Absolutely, man and real quick before I pass it over to guardians for their question
One thing that I love about your project
That's really interesting and I actually I pinned one of your tweets up there as well to the top about the first four artists that you
Announced one of my favorite things we see so often when a celebrity launches a project
It just doesn't go well
like they don't really have the time and energy to commit to it like what the community expects exactly and
It's not like a reciprocal relationship whatsoever. They're there. It's never what people want it to be. So I really prefer
Projects where someone like yourself is sort of like that liaison and it does give like that access that experience
but it's like what that access and experience is is really well-defined and
It's not like a long-term necessarily engagement for these guys. It can be a
You've got a good relationship. You can probably I'm sure even in the future do like
New additions of cards with new experiences and things like my mind's racing, but I think that
You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. Like, you know, we we are establishing like a legacy type of project
So we we're gonna drop like every two months like, you know, we signed over 200 talents
Like, you know, so we releasing 20 right now
But we haven't even released the bigger one like, you know
I mean so the the bigger artists that we have they wanted wait, of course to see how the first drop a second drop like
You know gold so they can be okay
That's how the culture like, you know the culture operate like, you know
They really want to see because there's some type of like, you know, they're still like very skeptical
They sign because they know me and they trust me they signed the contract and all that but they're still like, you know
moving like, you know
like, you know
smartly about
This whole ecosystem, but again to your point
I'm the middleman like, you know wait for them for that thing
and that I take that thing very seriously because I'm totally ducks like, you know, so I did I have like a
Direct relationship with those people so I cannot mess up I cannot f up because like if I do like
The repercussion would be huge. So that's why I'm very
Consistent on building with the communities on doing my due diligence on, you know
going and building with all the different community are here in web 3 and
The community like management is very big
For me. So yeah
As I was saying earlier
My goal is really to educate elevate and give back the both ways, right?
There's a lot of people in web 3 that don't necessarily know what was going on in the in the culture in general and
Definitely a lot of people in the culture that don't have no
understanding of the of web 3 like quick story, for example, I
I've sat down with every to like the 200 artists that I assign I did
Single-handedly I did all the meetings with them
Like, you know all the zooms all the stuff like I sat down with them
Like, you know, it's 12 month old. It's over 12 month old work
Like you know, I mean so I did that with them
So for some of them I built their wallet for example, right and someone like Noriega like in the nori
Which is like those drink champs is my business partners
There's a number one hip hop podcast so the business partners and nori one of the host does I didn't have any wallet
So I built the wallet with him and all that
We did a soft launch. He made some a lot of money. We put the money in it two weeks later
He called me say hey Frenchie, like what the hell like what's going on? I think they stole my money
Whatever blah blah, I was like, what you mean? So yeah, I've been hacked. They stole my money
So I checked I said bro. Listen, the market is down. Don't don't really like don't look at this stuff
Like that like that
They don't mean so like those are the type of things like it's just a quick story to tell you like the type of things
I have to go through right I need to be consistent and I need to come
My thing is like I'm very transparent with you guys and with them
I'm not a web free expert, but I come and do my due diligence so I can go back and teach them like, you know
in the way they can understand I
Love it, man. That's hilarious. I had
My dad he owned some Solana and whenever it like tanked after the SBS stuff
He just texted me and he goes don't know what's happening. But Solana is cheap. I bought more
I was like, all right, man, like do your thing. I guess
So it's funny
All right, oh
Guardians that you have a question
Yeah, I just wanted to to build on the similarities
With the culture cast project because we are also into
You know working hard to educate our our current web to audience who are basically just you know watching
Web to teams competing on a web to games
There is a massive, you know job to be done to get to where we want to be
And it would go through education and we do have a responsibility because same thing
We are ducks on a personal level, but we're also ducks as a other web to team, right?
So the the game world team is already a famous and well established. It's been you know competing since 2018
So we don't want to ruin, you know five years of building a brand
In just now, you know with just a small side project
So we actually we actually have more than serious, you know
About garden because we do think that it's kind of where we initially wanted to bring our web to team and web 3 would definitely be
Be the key enabler to to that
So to go back to your initial question or one of your question around, you know
What what I mean basically triggered the whole project for us
It was frustration like frustrated by the fact that we couldn't give much more to our audience who are fans
Because on the web to side, you know people can pay for memberships
Yes, but they would not own anything that's gonna be a one-year membership and then it's done, right?
The country, I mean we can't really fund any of their
Interactions with the players with the coaches and stuff what web 3 brings here is a like a literally like the best tool possible to
Identify who is a holder what you can bring to them, etc
And that's kind of the key to us and and one year ago when we found out that, you know
I mean that we found out but when you realize more more than find out that
Whether it could be kind of the the key for us to unlock all of that, you know fan experience potential
It was kind of a revelation to to to be asked
So this is where we are coming from kind of a frustration insights turned into a project
Oh, no, go ahead be our one. I'll go afterwards
I was gonna just say a funny funny story and talk about something real quick, but you can go ahead
Appreciate you man
So similarly, I guess, you know since we're talking about the onboarding of web to people into this space
You know, I like to say that, you know, we're not web 2 versus web 3 gaming
We are just gaming and it's the future of gaming. So eventually we're gonna be all integrated into one category
But for br1 you actually I can completely market you the game in web 2 fashion
I don't have to bring up crypto once until I tell you that maybe you'll want to dip your toes into web 3
What do I mean by that? Well, if you want as a web 2 player
You can go and buy our game with your credit card when the time comes in the back end
We will link an NFT to your account
And again, if you ever want to dip your toes into web 3
You can go into the custody section of our settings and actually take ownership of your character your operative
Moreover on that you can also fill your br1 wallet with your credit card with your debit card no need for a crypto wallet until
possibly the point where you'd like to obviously withdraw it will be withdrawn in USDC so
You know, obviously you'll have to do that. But I mean guys at this point in 2022
I'm pretty sure everyone knows how to add a Google extension. It's really not that difficult
But yeah, so in terms of onboarding web 2 users, I think I think we're we're on like a track in terms of for a game
I know Guardians you guys are a team
So that could definitely there could definitely be some synergy there in terms of getting your players playing our game in web 2 fashion
Yeah, definitely and actually, you know
One of the first decision from the DA would be to decide on which game they want to compete
I mean you need to start from somewhere and the somewhere is very often, you know
Okay on which game do we invest our energy our time and players basically? So
Right now I guess if I'm asking my
Community which is kind of a mix between web 2 and web 3 they might they might be answering
You know kind of a web 2 game because this is what they know is it where the the highest awareness is
But what I really want to push is offer in the mix for the DAO to decide
You know kind of a mix between web 2 and web 3 and I'm sure that they will understand that's actually you know
through some of the web 3 games
They can I know by basically owning some of their assets
That's kind of the the key for for them
So I want to I want to have web 3 and web 2 games into the mix for the for that first decision
Yeah, I think the interesting part about all of this story BR1 is is that we are changing the the model of ownership, right?
I think for games
As well as metaverses and and other NFT projects the whole point or the differential basis is ownership
like if you tell
Web 2 player
a game player and have it gamer that they're gonna be able to own assets and they're gonna be able to
Make money off those owned assets. It's massive, right? Of course, it's a barrier right to get them to understand
But once they do and they see money coming in based off that or simply the fact that it's theirs
And that whatever, you know time they invest get some something that somebody else does not have and cannot have
That's a huge hurdle that will you know leapfrog and then I don't think people will go back to web 2 games
It's gonna be really hard. Yes, you know start investing in that
Then then everything's gonna be in that direction my point of view and I think people who are not like avid gamers
Or even just like casual gamers
Maybe don't understand
Like how lucrative that can really be I mean if you go and look at some of the sales on like CSGO skins
They're fucking insane
I think the highest CSGO skin was sold for like half a million dollars and people think that buying like
SMBs at their peak for like 30 or 35 grand was like insane people were buying skins for a gun in a game for half a million dollars
And that's like the only example that I can really think of that's that over the top
I mean you could talk about like the black market economies of things like World of Warcraft and whatnot
But it's a lot harder to sell the really really valuable
But like dude imagine if you had a season one rare Fortnite skin and you could sell it what that would be worth now
Right. I mean, it's just nuts. So it's really a no-brainer and
When it does get mass adoption these competitive gamers are I think gonna be some of the biggest people to push it
Because they understand the value that already exists and how it can be
Hugely hugely leveraged in the future. No, but you know, what's gonna cause as well, dude
It's gonna cause a hell of a lot of very very happy girlfriends
Cuz like when you when you game and you don't have a girlfriend you don't care about that
But when the girlfriend comes on and she's like yo
You can't game so much and you have to give away all these things that you've made and you can't make many any money out
Of them you're pissed as hell, right? But if now you can go ahead and sell those assets. You're like, okay
I'll take the girlfriend for you know, as long as it lasts. So I think it's gonna be a great culture shift
No, babe, you don't understand this rare version of Rob Gronkowski
I got in Madden for a thousand dollars is easily gonna be worth five thousand dollars next year. You don't fucking get it
It's an investment. I
Think that's my pitch deck guys. That's a good one
No, go ahead
Now you got some pissed-ass moms to
Know the skin the skin, uh, just I mean we culture card we actually in face to we are
Rebuilding like a play-to-earn game. So we actually right now already like, you know
thinking of the whole game plan
And we have a very very interesting vision, you know regarding this whole thing
It's because we working with like, you know existing talent and even a state of talent for example
What deceased and all that we have like, you know as far as schemes
We working for example with like, you know, DMX estates big point estates
like, you know who have like, you know, we they have like some very
Iconic like, you know a piece of closing, you know
For example, even to pack have like iconic piece of closing and then when we we can actually add
those those element to the to the cards and and those skins will actually be very very
valuable like, you know, I mean, so
those are the type of thing that we're doing with with culture cards and I love what you guys saying because I
Definitely, you know, make me think that we know in Iraq path
Dude, I mean I remember playing the old def jam games
So there's definitely a market for the hip-hop game stuff
I think right now like I it's been a while since I've checked
But I used to like get really bored and I would try and like flip video games
Basically because at least I understood like which old ones were worth a lot
And I think right now like the cheapest if you go online the cheapest you can buy a copy of def jam
Like fight for New York is like a hundred dollars
Yeah, it's like an old PS2 game and it's still selling
So now that for sure and that's the that's the thing that we're doing I mean
The cool thing about web 2 and like, you know, this all
Bridging the gap between those two ecosystem. Is that like, you know as far as I'm concerned
my goal is really to kind of
Build something very easy like, you know for them to enter that ecosystem and then after that it's guys is a limit because when they
In web 3 and they understand like, you know the basics of it. Those guys are like, you know big name
So they're gonna be able to make a lot of money and then make sure that like, you know, the the thing move
Forward like, you know in web 3 so that's basically what I'm doing right now getting like a project that that they can understand
That it can really like, you know, make sure that they very comfortable with
We don't use big terminology like they there's basically for four bucks that needs to be ticked
Like, you know if the project is dope the asset what like the asset is great
Like, you know, I mean what the audience is getting out of it when we dropping how much they're making like, you know
I mean, that's very very simple thing. We don't need to talk about the whole metaverse ERC 21
They don't they don't want to hear none of that
They just want to make sure that they have like, you know
something dope and then when when they actually start making money and then people like, you know talking about a project they're gonna be
Interested and start asking question and be like more interesting in that stuff
So that's basically my role to to do that
And and I mean we have like, you know, we we actually talking with a lot of people in web 2
Right now because my background is touring. So because I have a music like, you know
Musicians and artists like, you know from music industry and older as well
But mainly music industry I'm talking to live nation right now in Amazon to actually build the first
Festival of that that of that kind like, you know real festival that kind of blend
You know web 3 and then real real life experience. So educational type of festival
So those are the type of thing that we're doing in in web 2 as well
So, yeah, no, that's that's gonna be a great great great journey. I
Think I saw a VR when you had your hand up first and you took it back down
What you say sorry
All right, I did take it down just because I didn't want to go off topic of what go ahead beer one
I was saying so, uh
Pretty much. I just wanted to I wanted to more touch upon what what Danny said earlier now picture this
okay, you're 10 years old 12 years old, right you go into a GameStop and
You want to play this game? It's called Call of Duty
Fantastic game you heard all your friends playing about it
Now you go and you play this game, but oh next year you're 11 years old and there's no more Call of Duty
There's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Well, what the hell am I gonna do with my old Call of Duty?
I'm gonna bring it to a GameStop and I'm gonna maybe get 10 bucks for it
I think the fact that web 3 is now integrating into gaming ads for
Better game experience because obviously you're able to make money
You're not just you know playing for fun and and you know, quote-unquote wasting your time
But also, I mean for br1 sake we also have our rental UI if you're not a gamer
You're just an investor who wants to earn passive income
You can rent your operative to other people to lower the barrier of entry for those who are you know?
Unfortunately, not able to afford a full operative and you get gamers playing while you're earning money
And then finally you go back to that game style. Oh, I don't want to play br1 anymore
You know, unfortunately, that's how games go. Sometimes people don't want to play them anymore
but you get full return on investment if not more simply because
the price of the operative went up and so I really think that's like one of the strongest parts of
Web 3 coming into gaming, you know for us, obviously there there are some non game project up here, but regardless
just the fact that you have people who you can onboard from the web to world and
And they'll come check you out. They'll do their thing and if they like you they stay and if they don't
At least they bought the NFT and then made some money off it. It's a win-win for everyone
Yeah, that's a great point what's up Gordon's
Yeah, I mean that's kind of the same type of thing that we have in mind for at an eSport team level
Because you know
I don't know if you're gonna be enough to reassure the moms and the girlfriend in the room at some point
But I I guess that's you know, once you I mean unless they're just you know, spending money to to support a team
You know without getting any any return on your investments
I think it's you know becoming kind of an owner of a team part of the owners of the team is
You know is very different
It's gonna be different for us because you know, we see much more engagements, you know, a fan is already very engaged
But just imagine, you know being a fan and an owner at the same time
it's totally no difference and I feel like you know each and every result of your team is gonna be important to you and
You're really gonna be caring for for the teams, you know and how it's behaving in the different competitions
It's playing on so so that's one of the key elements that I wanted to to add
and I see a lot of similarities with some of the gaming project we are in touch with because
They are kind of you know with the same principles of owning assets
You know versus just you know playing and cheering for for a team and that's what what three really brings to you to the space
And then maybe that's kind of a link with a with the with the yaku guys here
But some our fans right now, you know when they when they want to cheer for their team
They mostly meet on on discord and have some kind of, you know viewing parties on discord and it's fun. It's good, right?
But I guess that's you know tomorrow or very soon, you know, I mean we might see a lot of teams
Sport teams or is sport team meeting kind of in the metaverse is which are developing right now
So because the experience is so much more fun, you know, right in a metaverse compared to just being you know
You know in a in a chat or in a in a channel
On this court, so I think there's gonna be a difference maker and and of course, you know, if you if you add the layer of
And you know finding your the other fans of the same team
In a given metaverse just by recognizing the the skins, you know
The avatars that you will see there that's basically almost as fun as you know
Finding some some of the other fans from the same team you you cheer for
In an arena in a stadium and that's pretty cool. You know, I'm a big NFL fan
Even if I'm French, you know, so no, no, I mean don't don't even ask questions for why
But you know, I always go every year to the to the London games
To cheer for some of the team sometimes not even the team that I'm cheering for on on a regular basis
but I'm you know you there and you see people wearing all the different jerseys around you and
Very naturally you you chat with the guys wearing the same the same jerseys
Same teams jerseys that you that you do. So that's the type of thing that I think we would probably see tomorrow in the metaverses
Yeah, you're not too far away from that. I think
Papi, you know what we should do we should we should create a tackle option so that when people are watching the screen
They can tackle the other teams or something like that. We already have that working going on. So that's already there but
But yeah, we could add a tackle option
Now we would bring some some damage level to our to our gardens armor then
Yeah, then we'll have to of course charge Yaku to fix it right to repair your stuff
Definitely. I have a quick question guardians
Would you prefer your own your own robot in br1 with the droids or would you prefer a guardians jersey on a br1 droid?
You know, it's an interesting one discuss offline
I emoji I emoji
No, it's funny. I'm also we've been talking gaming and stuff and it makes me a little curious Dave over there behind ways wise whales
I'm wondering if there's anything that you see or have that exists now
Or something that you might be interested in implementing in the future where you can sort of track data on I guess
Different NFT categories so someone could come in and say hey
We've actually seen like a huge uptick in the gaming space in general or the profile pic space in general
So that people can sort of see maybe on like a slightly more macro level rather than like a specific project like what are the trends?
Yeah, for sure. In fact, I mean like post mint when we start expanding
Like we're gonna be doing we're gonna have like a much more robust look at the salon ecosystem
we're gonna be tracking all sorts of all sorts of things like across not just kind of the thousands of what whales that we're tracking but
basically where all the money is flowing kind of looking at everything and
So, you know as we as we scale up, we'll we'll get to it for sure
Know Dave
Do you think and this is completely out of the blue, but I was thinking about this other day
I would love for you to create a bot and
When somebody does a successful trade above a certain amount that is published to everybody
I think that will bring a lot of visibility to your product
Any trades that are above a certain amount like just let the people know you mean
Docks in the wilds. We don't know. I don't mean
Like the whale holders, right like sharing their sharing their wins
Exactly. Just think about like when we sell a yaku, there's a bot that actually tracks the sales, right?
Like I don't care about that in your case. What I do care about is the actual good
Deals that people make using your your software. Is there anything yet? You could do something where I mean
Right like you'll be able to see on chain like who holds a whale so you could see somehow obviously not a dev over here
So I'm just thinking out loud like okay this wallet that holds a whale we sent out an alert for this trade and
They bought into that trade 30 minutes after we sent the alert and then a day later. They forexed or whatever, right?
Exactly. Yeah, and those you know that that goes out as a bot, you know to everybody. I think that visibility is important
For people to realize how valuable your product is
Love it. Love it. I think it's a great idea. Thanks guys
Not that I'm never gonna be flexing my wins because we've all determined that I am in the dumb whale category but
There's definitely gonna be people that are out there
Making making great progress off this stuff
Like I'm sure crypto ape has been following the calls in there really closely since he's had like early beta access
And he's just been creeping today crypto. They've been a little quiet guy today. It's kind of freaking me out
You know why he's quiet poppy I was talking to him last night and he's telling me he's making all these great deals on wise whales
But he's not giving me access to all those deals until they're done. So I want to know before they're done crypto ape, please
You know, I got you bro
Now's a bit. I was a bit quiet today, you know taking care of
Some client business and we got we got a bunch of good projects up here
So I don't want to I don't want to interrupt the the conversation
But yeah, a hundred percent man, I've had the wise whale tool for a minute now
And I'll be honest
I do use it like quite a bit
But I haven't been trading much these days because just been like super busy with you know spaces and like client stuff
and this market is just insane, right but
But yeah, man, I would say like
You know Danny Spain should be on there like this guy has been I was talking to Danny's being yesterday
He's getting making some some serious one-on-one play. So when you guys get that one-on-one art
Wise whales tracker going Danny Spain is gonna be on there a hundred percent. He's been crushing it
And yeah, man, I mean for me it's kind of like it like wise was makes a lot of sense, right?
Cuz whenever I buy NFTs and whatnot, I don't usually just buy like one or two
I just buy like I buy in size
So it's like when I make a decision like that
It's like a couple of G's and it's like if I'm gonna do that
like I might as well like, you know get all the data points and and
You know like data analytics for me to like decide if this is the right decision or not, right?
So if I'm gonna be buying into something
I'll be like, you know, I want to see like always are the whales dumping on me
Am I there exit liquidity or are they also buying with me?
So it's like a it's a it's kind of like an additional data point and I think that's really useful in this market
And on top of that like I was telling why I'm selling this on another spaces
It's like so I've been had this tool for a minute, right? So
like this why a lot of the wise whales features are kind of
Things that I requested I'm like, what would I want like when I'm looking at these wise whales to be like, hey
What what how can I utilize this information?
So a lot of the updates we made over the last couple of months were like specific requests that I asked I'm like
Yo, Dave, can we do this? I would love to see this
I would love to see this and then Dave like obviously went above and beyond and added like charts and shit in there
So it's like it's like pretty legit stuff like that
Like you would want to see if you're like someone who's active either in the NFT space or the defy space, right?
And I think there's been a lot of suggestions here and the crazy part is these guys already built out
They're like 80% of their roadmap before they even launched a project
Because Dave's been like working on this project for a whole year spend like 150 k plus
Dollars into this project, right?
So it's it's crazy how much more they can build and what else they can do and all these suggestions
I think they're all great
So as a meta and the markets change and as things like, you know
Like like change and mature in this market like wise was is gonna be there like
Tracking the data and letting us know ahead of time, right? So I think it's really dope
Wardians what's up guys? I know you've got to be leaving here in like five or ten minutes, right?
Yeah, I was basically about to say so it's three things to have so one I'm fully in with that was what Danny said
You know around trying to track the other one-on-one actually we're thinking a lot about you know
Potentially adding kind of a one-on-one collection to to to the main collection
We are in touch with a very famous artist another French guy, of course
So that's gonna be something that we we discuss over the next few a few weeks
So that the first thing the second thing is indeed I might have to leave in about five five seven minutes. So
Don't don't think that I'm I suddenly disappeared but I really need to go for kind of a an old world web to meeting
That still happens
and the last thing I wanted to add was
If ever you are part of this space and you like, you know
What we what we said about the projects just feel free to join the discord guys and you know with a screenshot of your presence in
This space and we'll be we'll be offering your whitelist because we think that's you know
The guys who liked what we say right now
we want to bring them on in the project and make them one of the of the of the of the gardens NFT collection, so
That's basically what I wanted to add guys
And I'm still be listening here and potentially speaking if I if I'm asked to over the over the next few minutes and and then I begun
Yeah, thanks man, and that might be a good opportunity, you know, we've got a couple people that are up here pre-ment
We've got I know br1 has got some stuff out there already and some other new things coming up
So maybe now is a good time to quickly
Jump around and get some of those details from people and I'm gonna start with you guardian since you're about to bail
Do you have an approximate timeline on the mint? How can people get involved?
You heard them there say jump into their discord and post a screenshot of you in the spaces and they'll hook you up with whitelist
But what's the plans for like supply mint count?
Mint date all that fun stuff. So we have the plans now that
The point is to to make sure that the plan fits with the with the market condition
But I mean my market condition is we have been accelerating quite a bit in terms of you know
To the spaces presence and basically, you know talking about what we are about to to launch
So our plan is to go quite soon
I can't really give a date right now because we haven't built we haven't been revealing it to
To our own community right now, and I want them to to know first
But that's gonna be happening very very soon
So so if you if you go into the project right now and you get your whitelist
You won't have to to wait, you know
Infinity time there before we actually release we are we are basically ready to go and as soon as we we feel like
You know, we have a very engaged community. We'd be releasing our connection
So jump in now grab your whitelist and then you don't have to worry about it and you'll be the first to know
When the details get released and I totally understand that I mean right now with the market conditions
It's so hard to time things. I mean we've seen how
Men's the last few days have been going right like DJ news
Didn't fully mint out. I think they ended up minting a bunch
On their own and doing like an airdrop to people right toys are us had a difficult time
So like people who are active in the ecosystem and who have like a really good value proposition are still not having a great time
Right now on the mints. So completely understand like it's a really weird difficult time like fire off when you're ready
completely understand that
Again same thing with like the wise whales
If you guys have not ever like had a time to speak one-to-one with Dave
He's legit a gig of brain as well as a nice guy
So I have really really high expectations for how that product is going to continue to evolve and iterate on top of the tons
Of shit that's already available right now
You're doing a unique thing Dave where you're basically doing like a round a round B
So let the people know how round a is gonna be working coming up here in just a couple days
Yeah, I mean so there's a couple things so tomorrow we're gonna have a presale with with Sensei Labs
So, you know to stay tuned for tweets about that put put notice on
And then on the 15th, we're gonna be minting with elixir
Yeah, so so there'll be a couple options there a few
So jump in there holler at Dave get going on the wise whales I'm excited to see the elixir mint process
I did not get to
actually personally experienced the first mint of their
nectar's ovals on there, so I'm gonna be really interested to see what that looks like and
Get my whale on mint day. I'm excited
For the culture the culture cards, what is coming up for you guys?
Do you have a planned first mint for your initial cards? What is the supply looking like? Let the people know what you got going
Yeah, so definitely that we don't I mean same situation, right? Like
We are basically have like a time frame like probably
Within four to six weeks. That's what we want. Like I'd like, you know, Italy like that's what we want to do
Now we're gonna still gonna see how the market is is going
but regarding the supply, so
Each talent so we reveal revealing that you know
Talent four by four you can see on the top like this is the first four we we have 20 artists
On the first drop so those 20 artists each talent have like a hundred and fifty seven cards
So a hundred silver fifty gold five black one diamond in one joker per talent, you know
So that's basically a total supply of three thousand one hundred and forty cards that's going to be available and
Yeah, like we have like, you know over a hundred and eight hundred and ninety thousand dollars worth of prizes
140 prizes that we have customized with the talent
Yeah, like, you know as I say earlier like, you know the we have like different example of prices
So for example, I can talk about it because I just mentioned it on top
But somebody like the artist the game he taking one holder to an international tour with him
We have like like, you know, Teddy Riley, which is like, you know a legend producer
Basically spending time with a holder in studio and produce a beat for him
We have Corey Rooney and Jennifer Lopez who's giving three ticket VIP ticket meet and greets to one of our concerts
We have onyx for example offering of the song collaboration plus video shoot
every Walker that
offering the opportunity to create
Item for a fashion collection. I mean one bunch of different things like that
That we're doing exciting
IRL situations
and yeah, so
That's basically what we have so far. I'm sorry. I love it, man
It's it's always interesting to me
Like I would say that if if you're in the space is listening to what culture cards has going on
You as a participant in the project are early
But it's hilarious how much time obviously has already been put into it on your end to get everything ready
So I was gonna say like if you're a listener like you're early on the project
But it's hilarious cuz like yeah early as a listener, but like you've been fucking doing this for months now
Br1 br1 for you guys
You've already got a couple collections your first two
I believe races of your three are available on secondary now, but you've got a third race coming out, right?
So fortunately for us our first mint was prior to all this market nonsense
We played our cards very smart. I apologize if you hear some drilling in the background. We are doing some construction here in the office
But yes, we minted our apes
Way back when fortunately it was when Solano was at a good Bryce if you will
We do play our cards somewhat close to our chest when it comes to some alpha
But what I can say is we are doing a mint for human operatives
You can get whitelist for it
If you head over to br1game.com sign up and apply to become a closed beta tester
What does that mean if you are accepted you will be able to play our game for free right now?
You will get whitelist to the human mint and further once we start
Integrating wallet funding which we've already started doing slowly. We will be funding every single
Beta testers wallet so that you guys can actually play for free and kill to earn with no risk and all reward
There you have it guys check out the link in their bio to go hop over and jump in there
I want to say thanks again to all of our guest speakers
Highly encourage you give a follow to everyone br1 the culture cards wise whales and guardians had to dip out
But definitely go give those guys a follow
I'm always bullish on people that see the turmoil and what's going on in the markets right now
And they're like fuck it. Don't care still build and they've just been all great to talk to
So big big fans of everybody that's on here today
I think now is maybe the time it's been a while since honest spaces. I've really let leak some good yaku alpha
Should I end with some yaku information for a few minutes? Yeah. Yeah, but before you do that
Do you think it's really like bad as a father if I get my three girls to work for free on br1 and kill to earn?
No, I think that's just leveraging your assets appropriately I
Just said do you think it's really improper if I get my three kids to sign up to br1 and
Get them to work for me for free
And a kill turn
Dude get your kids in br1 let them make money for you at a young age
Give them a little cut give them an allowance. We want to see them in-game playing as an aperger
Oh, I'm foolish as hell be a one. Thank you, man
Fuck yeah, I do appreciate you on a side note br1
We've talked a little bit about this with a guardians already
But we got to talk about if we can't also transpose some of those br1 characters into yaku
And get your holders a little added utility
Yo, let's get some of those
What are they that the bikes if I'm not mistaken?
Yeah, let's get those let's get those bikes rideable in br1
We could get some br1 characters in the yaku verse too, man
Fuck yeah cross and collaboration. I'm all about it. Let's chat more
Let's get on this collaboration over competition, baby. That's how you succeed. Oh, yeah
Yeah, we're all about collaboration dude like actually and the culture cards man. Let's let's get a festival going in the metaverse
Let's do it
You know that that the culture club Fred is is linked with Mike Tyson
I asked him if he could get Mike Tyson to show up at my birthday party, but he still has not confirmed
But it would be legendary
I know I know it will be it will be but I told you like, you know, you're not even in california
Mike is in california right now
No, dude, but if you want to come to like step to the office man, you need to go to the office
I'm in i'm in missouri right now and it is cold as fuck and rainy
I'll happily go to california to see mike tyson. I'll go tomorrow
If that's what we'll be out there tomorrow
We shooting tomorrow we have an episode we shoot it because i'm producing this podcast so i'm in australia but
I book uh some some talent to shoot hotboxing tomorrow. We uh, we have Dwayne Wade going out there
It will spin
One up all of you. We are in montreal. Quebec. It is absolutely fucking freezing here. If you've ever been to canada
Especially in montreal, you know how goddamn cold it is over here
Yeah, you guys are crazy, man
You have those underground tunnels where you go and they're heated right?
around the city
Maybe question mark
Was it kibbe? I don't know. I went to uh to one of these towns in wait, I can't remember who montreal
I don't know which one it was and they had all these underground tunnels because it was simply so fucking cold
You couldn't walk outside
Um, maybe we have technology in this city that I am not aware of but
It sounds pretty sick in toronto
There's like I think we have the largest kind of underground, uh network of tunnels in the world actually somehow
Um, that's true. It's not it's I don't know. I don't know what kind of prompted that
But there's a kind of huge like shopping complex that links just like a good chunk of downtown toronto
I don't know whether they pop up up here and request what's up northern ape which also
If anyone out there in the audience like wants to pop up and ask a question or something feel free like very open format
You're always allowed to uh, yeah, I bet it what's up northern ape now
I was gonna say I think wise those mentioned it, but that's in toronto, man. That's uh, the underground
The pathway it's called the path
It's in toronto. It's a huge ass like underground walking situation
That's I just want to pop up. You know, why don't why don't I have one of those in montreal? What is this garbage?
I remember that dude. I remember walking around and thinking what the fuck's going on with this
This tunnel system and then I realized it was so cold outside that it made all the sense in the world
Yeah, just so you guys know toronto is nowhere near as cold as montreal too. So if anyone
You know what needs it is montreal like it's it's night and day, you know people think this canada's cold canada's cold
But it's it's not even close like toronto. Toronto is nothing
Toronto is basically like new york cold but montreal is a totally different level
Yeah, but new york cold is still pretty fucking cold
Like my aunt has actually lived in toronto for the past like 28 years and she lives in the beaches
And i've never been so baited and switched by the name of a neighborhood ever in my life
Like went there in february and I was like damn dude, we're going to the beaches and yeah
Yeah, the fucking nordic beach where if you go surfing on it, uh, you're gonna come back with a beard covered in icicles
No, like honestly, I hear you I hear you but anyone who thinks new york and toronto
Are super cold bro. Just just go to go to montreal in january
It's just totally totally different level and and when I say that I really mean don't go to montreal in january
All i'm gonna say boys
Is I literally just looked at my pc randomly and on the bottom right as most of you know
It sometimes shows the weather and it literally has a caution sign that says weather advisory. That's all I gotta say
Yeah montreal and like quebec is pretty cool they need like freaking winter like you need like chains on your tires and shit
Uh in parts are actually those are actually illegal fun fact. They're not legal here, uh to have chains or studs, but
we do have
I guess state of the art winter tires, if you will, I don't know where how winter tires are in other places
But um, you definitely need them here. You get a lot of black ice here a lot
I have a question for you. Do you happen to like moonlight as the head of tourism in quebec because you're really selling it
Listen, if uh, if they want to hire me as uh, their their head of marketing, I will
Kindly decline because I fucking love br1
Oh, I thought you were gonna say web 3 is down and I might as well go there. Oh shit
Yeah, you you honestly make a good point
But yeah, no, i'm not on the on the quebec topic because I used to drive trucks like commercial trucks
And I used to go to montreal quebec all the time
And some of the areas like I had to like put chains on the on the like the commercial trucks
Like because they wouldn't like they would be checking like that shit
Uh, but this is this is like seven years ago. So I don't know the laws have changed since then
But uh, I know it's like pretty like the roads are rough and their bridges and
There's like montreal is just like a like a shit show to drive a truck in because I got like
They got tiny like bridges like coming out of nowhere and like trucks can't even go underneath them
So it's just like uh, it's like I almost got stuck once with uh with the commercial truck
And uh, and actually uh, yeah northern ape was actually with me and it was a pretty it was a pretty bit hectic situation
Dude when you first told me that you used to drive a truck. I about died laughing because like respectfully you do not look like a truck driver
Yeah, when I tell people this like people are tripping
There's two things I can say to you. Number one
maybe on on
Commercial trucks you are allowed those chains from my knowledge. I'm almost positive. You're not allowed having them
Just as a car driver. Um
Let me let me call my homie in the government. I'll find out for you
More more on the the road topic montreal is known as the city of the orange cone
And it's because there's always construction one highway will always be closed no matter where you want to go
So I totally feel your pain brother even in the car
It's sometimes I have to take this big ass detour just to get to work at the br1 office every day
And that's uh, that's that's freaking wild I I
Yeah, montreal is definitely cold, man
I love montreal though. I used to go there like like a lot when I was like younger, uh, you know
And because the drinking age in in kebec is is less than uh, toronto by a year
So when I was like 18, I used to go there all the time and uh, good times man. Montreal is a dope dope spot
There's your there's your first free alpha of the spaces
Uh younger drinking age in quebec. So feel free to head on up there if we've got any youngins in the audience
You know puppy
Don't don't don't you know encourage uh underage drinking?
Um, by the way, how did we uh divert the topic from yaku to uh to kebec in montreal?
No offense with with the canadians, but you know, yaku's pretty exciting. I'm not so excited about cold winters in montreal
Someone said something about cold that I had to step in real quick and then we just
We were talking about going to see mike tyson in la and how much better would be than being in missouri and quebec and you know
Let me tell you we also have a very big web3 community in montreal
So if you want to come and see
Some of the advanced technology that we are doing here in montreal as you guys probably know a very big
Gaming studio is actually from here. Uh, they're called ubisoft. You might have heard of them
Um, they do some really cool. Shit. We have a lot of gaming conferences more web2 based
Uh, we had activism here. I don't remember what the the game conference is called
But our co-founders went to uh to check it out and let me tell you boys
We are fucking early because not one web3 game was there
And we were just there shilling kill to earn. It's as simple as that
Sometimes you have to just like shamelessly shill because especially at events like that
there there's just such a
either like a just genuine across the board lack of information and knowledge or
like very large
Misconceptions that you really just kind of have to force your hands and sometimes do some education against people's will
Uh, because otherwise you're never going to get the opportunity and on that on that note education against people's will
I'm going to talk yaku for a second
I spent a decent amount of time. So we've really been looking at like
getting ready for
launching some stuff here at the end of the year launching some stuff at the beginning of the year and what does
the 2023 sort of calendar look like
And trying to really tie things together with a neat bow so that it's a little more
Well connected because I think kind of what we're doing right now
from like a strategic standpoint is
There's so much that's being built
We're sort of like shipping as it comes and it's less like a true development schedule that people can follow along
So we've been trying to work internally on
a more traditional development schedule for people to follow that also ties into
marketing efforts the communication efforts with the community, so I think
the alpha here is
Towards the end of the year the beginning of the year
There's going to be a fun little christmas present for the community where we're going to get everyone really involved
Some of the things that are on that development path
So we're going to internally sort of plot out. Okay, here are the one or two things that are like non-negotiables that we have to
ship that are
Guaranteed they're going to happen and then after that here are all of the other possibilities
With like some general development timelines like here are the things we can implement
I think that this will take approximately this much time. Obviously, you don't kill us if it takes longer, etc, etc
But we want to hear from you guys
What of these possibilities is the most important to you? What do you want to see?
And that's sort of going to drive this development forward
Uh, so it's really exciting stuff
And i'm really excited. I have I have one thing I kind of really want to share
But I don't know if I might get killed danny if I do this one because it's a big one
And it's something that we've only hinted at once or twice and we haven't given any details about but uh
I'll give a little snippet for you guys
So, um, one thing we've been working on is we've been talking about we have an api that we're building for the yaku app
We haven't given any information about what the api is
And I think what it is going to do and what we will accomplish with it is
We are going to make a much better user experience
within the yaku verse so
The high level view without getting into too many details because I want to save those
Your profile at the yaku app. So anyone who's not been to yaku.ai go check it out. It's awesome
Your profile there will be able to be linked directly to the yaku verse
And what this will do will allow you to create a much more robust profile
And also a safer connection
So everyone knows we developed our own wallet connection for phantom and unreal engine
We are sort of
Making that system more robust and building like a two-part system
out of that
so what this will be able to do is
rather than having to
Sign in hit this, you know signature to read my wallet data, etc, etc. All that information is already in your yaku profile
So you won't have to go in and hit these
Transaction accepts to read your profile to understand what nfts you hold, etc, etc
It's all in your profile and you can link infinitely many wallets
So you can link your ledger you can link your hot wallet, whatever it might be
And that will unlock all of these experiences for you
So if you have like an smb on your ledger and you want to use the smb skin
You don't have to move it. You don't have to do anything. Let it sit there connect your ledger your yaku profile
Done and every time you log into the yaku verse, it'll have all that information there
On the flip side
We're also going to be implementing this is some real alphas
So I didn't tell you guys this no one go into discord and tag guy shizen because he might murder me
We're also adding in in addition to that in sdk
So what that will allow for is way more seamless in-game transactions
Where if you want to go in and buy stuff
It's just the the push notifications and things that can potentially pop you out of the game are gone
They're no longer a thing. It's all within the game and happens seamlessly
So sort of what this does is like a two-part thing one from a security standpoint
Again, you can leave all your really expensive stuff in your ledger. We read it through your yaku app
Social profile and you get all the benefits of those things without having to like put them in the game
On the flip side if you want to make purchases within the game
You have a much more seamless experience. And then the third part and this is maybe my favorite one
Is through this method
You can actually join the game without having to make a social profile yaku.ai
Just utilize the sdk and it's all within the game
And it feels very much like a web 2 experience even though it's all on chain and all web 3
It would be just like going to play league of legends loading up with riot points to buy whatever you want to buy
And calling it a day. So it'll all just happen seamlessly in the game
So anyway, there's some really big alpha for you guys that has not been shared yet
And i'm very excited about it and it's like only one thing of a bunch of shit that's coming here pretty soon
So i'm just very excited to share danny was giving me hella laughing emojis as I was talking about this because uh, I just
I feel like I have to give one thing of alpha every time we're on here. So there's your big alpha you guys
I'm very excited
No, it's really cool
actually the amount of time that we're their team is spending on infrastructure is is really important for
For actually rolling out things later and not having hiccups
And I think a lot of the time these things are underestimated and people just roll out things without testing them
So we've learned the hard way that we need to you know build infrastructure first
And then build on top of that and I think what we're doing now is is is just uh, you know
The start so a lot of things are planned for this month
I know we can't say a lot of these things because in web 3 it seems like if you say them you lose a lot of
Excitement, um, but it's gonna get really exciting
But this space is recorded so if for some reason you're like damn I want to go listen to poppy be all excited about that again
Uh, you're welcome to you can you can pop back in and listen and also because this is all based on an api
I'm just saying br1. Maybe we could talk and maybe
You know yaku profiles could be accessible in br1 or something. Just throwing ideas out there
It's it's the goal is for it to be interoperable among experiences, you know
If you speak it into exist, oh god, that sound
Sorry, boys. If you speak it into existence, maybe it will come to fruition
Speak to our cto. We'll get you guys in contact if you're not already i'm sorry about that. What are you in a slaughterhouse?
I'm actually in a different room, but we're mounting tv's in the br1 office and it's like terrible
Nothing I can do about it
Okay, that leaves me uh, that that gives me a better impression than a slaughterhouse
Okay, I lied we're actually killing all of our apes and droids
Dude you laugh I worked uh for the the maybe the worst job we've ever had I worked for 72 days
a slaughterhouse
As the head of communications and let me tell you there's a reason your boy was only there for 72 days
It was an experience
Uh, yeah, it was a wild one
Yeah, you know, I'm practically a vegan, right? So you shouldn't tell me that
Speaking of uh slaughterhouses
It looks like everyone has like a slaughterhouse story
When I used to drive uh, commercial trucks back when I was in uh, like college
I used to I used to like go to school and like Waterloo, which is like in the middle of nowhere
I used to drive to this uh, like in the mornings I'd go to this like slaughterhouse
And they would be uh, and I would be taking like uh,
Like pro like meat and whatnot to the grocery stores like, you know the supermarkets
And I'd go in and like I would see like, you know the whole operation
I would see like a truck bringing cows in like real like full like real life cows
And then i'd see like on the other side of it like meat would be coming out
Like there'd be like different kinds of areas
Like one area would be like just like chopped up meat and bones would be coming out into this like open truck
Which is not what I was doing. I was pretty much like I was like the supermarket trucks
So like this is when I was driving like smaller trucks
But they'd be pretty much like all the like stuff that's sold in like supermarkets like the package meat
That's kind of what I would be getting like skids and like crates up
But but yeah, it's crazy man. Uh, like every time I'll drive in there
It's just like a bad feeling and like the whole place just smelled like
Really bad and I just hated like just being in that entire vicinity is weird. Oh, yeah, dude
I mean it's truly awful
Like I took the job because uh, the place was the largest employer in my hometown is it's huge
They have like 5 000 employees. That's enormous
And they they at the time i'll keep this as brief as possible because it has nothing to fucking do with anybody
That's listening right now. I apologize in advance. Basically, they were like, hey, we don't have a great reputation with the community
Maybe we would like to work on that and I was like, ah dude
Well, you have a bad reputation for reasons because you're a shithole employer kind of
Uh, so unless you change that I don't think it's really gonna get much better
Like you can't really you literally cannot put makeup on this pig
And yeah, so anyway didn't really go well
I was told yeah, you can do you have like carte blanche to to change all the things and uh
fun fact got there did not have carte blanche in fact had whatever the opposite of that is
And was like, ah damn I kind of again. I got baited and switched. This is like going to the beaches in toronto
And so yeah had had to bail out of there
expeditiously
Yo, let's uh, let's switch a little bit and talk about the market. What is you guys?
What are you what is your impression of what's going on in the market? I know that spf is going to jail
um, but apart from that
It's just to me that like
There's a lot less liquidity than there was obviously a lot of people have left
The ecosystem there's a lot more nervousness around everything that's coming out on
Binance are we at the point of max pain? What do you guys think?
Um, I guess i'll chime in here first
I don't have much to add on this topic, but what I can say is from a br1 standpoint
fortunately for us we were unaffected by everything that uh went down and uh,
You know to those who were I it's my deepest sympathies sent to you
Um in terms of whether we're at the the lowest point I I honestly don't know. Um
We can see the the weirdest fluctuations in the world. We are in web 3 at the end of the day
That's that's pretty much all I'll have to add on that
Yeah, I think I think for me, it's just
It's so convoluted
Right. I mean a couple of months ago
If you would have asked me about how ftx was doing about a spf. I would have been like, oh, they're great
They're solid. There's no worries there to be had and they had that same tune. They were playing up until you know, like
Six or seven days before the actual collapse like there was no signs
So now i'm like, I don't trust anything
There seems to be a bit of a bank run yesterday on binance
I think cz tweeted that they had like over a billion dollars in withdrawals
And he said they were fine. But again, like don't trust verify so
He can say he's fine
But I just I just don't trust any of these words anymore because we saw how quickly this last collapse took place
My my gut tells me that
Binance is probably fine. The coins are moving up
There's not going to be
A lot more pain that were near the bottom. I don't know how near but
I think I think that the big leftovers are there's still some small reverberations of what's gone on that there's going to be smaller players
That still have a decent footprint that are getting shut down
I saw today reports of I can't remember the name of the exchange now
But a canadian-based exchange for you canadian guys that they've been having some difficulties with uh withdrawals today
So I don't know exactly what's going on there
Um, they're not a huge exchange, but they are
medium sized one and I think that that is where
We will see more pain. I think that the really big actors
That are gonna fall have fallen. I fucking hope that's just what my gut tells me
And that we're gonna see some more reverberations and these like small to medium players that could still do some damage
I I didn't hear about what uh, which exchange was having issues with withdrawals. I'm kind of curious to find out since i'm
Binance. Yeah, yaku said something canadian as well. Sorry. Yeah. No, it wasn't it wasn't binance that was having issues. It was a
It's like oh, yeah, it's like a medium
It's like a medium sized exchange based out of canada that they are having
Uh, like users are not able to withdraw
Right now that they're having some problems and there hasn't been like any official
Statement about it. I'll see if I can find it. I saw it on the timeline today
Let me go see if I can hunt this down. Bobby. There was a there was a stop on all usdc
Withdrawals from binance today
For a period of 24 hours, I think simply because somebody took out two two thousand
Uh, was it two thousand two billion usdc in usdc?
Out so yeah, the canadian one is also effective
Yeah, they they stopped withdrawals for the moment. I don't think it's a question of you know, a liquidity problem
I just think you know, they they just kind of like need to process that
Having said that if you have money in binance, I would definitely suggest you take it out and put it on a ledger
any any centralized exchange really I mean
The the scenarios are you take it out and nothing happens and you still have your money
and you could put it back in later if you want you
take it out and
something happens
And you get a revert whatever that something is that happens and that's it regardless if you take it out
You're going to be okay. If you leave it in there
Something may not happen
But on the off chance it does
You've got your own keys, right? Not your not your keys. Not your crypto. So
But yeah, just stay safe
The other thing is it's interesting and the reason why I was asking this kind of to create conversation
but you know, I talk a lot I listen a lot to uh to hedge fund managers talk and
Kathy would I don't know if you know her but she's
one of for me one of the stars of last year in terms of uh hedge funds and
It's gone all miserably wrong because she invests mostly on tech and crypto
But she came back now and basically said I think we're close to max pain
And I think we're going to go in 30x from here to the end of 2024
And she's she's been pretty much right except the the massive fall now. So I wonder you know
You have these really weird contrasts
Some people are like still saying that crypto is a scam
On the other hand you have the true believers that keep on investing and keep on putting money in
So it's a really interesting uh dilemma now where we go, right?
My personal opinion. We're very close to max pain
I think we might have one more dip and then I think we'll stabilize and go up
But that's just chart wise, right?
Yeah, I posted like yesterday about like, you know looking at the sentiment on on twitter
And it's just like everyone who's bullish is like scared now, you know, it's kind of like
Everything kind of looks pretty gloomy. You know what I mean?
Like we've seen like what happened with uh
Like pretty much the biggest launch that we we're expecting uh, like toys for us
And that ended up being a bit of a slower mint given that like people are still uh, like scared
Um, and uh, yeah, man, that's that's kind of what i'm seeing i'm seeing like max pain across the corner
I'm seeing fear on the streets. We're seeing blood on the streets
You know big projects, uh have like pretty good publicity are not even able to mint like even like deja news, right?
They got a lot of publicity
uh, pretty pretty consistent account wasn't able able to mint out like
Whatever they're trying to mint which wasn't even a big raise
Uh, and they had to drop their mint price by like like 80 or something
Um, and then it minted out but that's kind of what we're seeing
So we're seeing a lot more trust on like og projects a lot of secondary volume
Um, like that's that's at least that's kind of good to see that that's happening
We're seeing like money move into the one-on-one space like danny was saying as well. So
Um, it's interesting. I mean from a business perspective
I do see that
You know royalty is coming back and volume like doing its thing is going to give us another like, um,
You know leg up in terms of you know projects projects actually being able to deliver stuff and keeping the ecosystem going
Vc money does look like it's drying up. We're seeing a lot of talk about ai
uh all over like the world right now that's that's been like the topic of like
You know next generation of like, you know
The next big thing that vcs are going to put their money into is going to be like ai
And getting and making some good money off of that. So
It's always a trend. So it's going to be interesting
I think money will move from crypto like on a vc side as well because of all this fdx shit
Um, so that could be pretty bad for projects and and companies
But you know royalties coming back gives us some kind of like additional revenues for these projects to survive and you know, some of these companies are
You know well funded. So, uh, you know being a web3 consulting firm firm
We're kind of like, uh, you know navigating the markets as well because not only do we help like nft projects with like go-to-market
Strategy and like, you know marketing partnerships everything
We also help like, uh, you know, like web3 companies with vc funding in terms of like setting up like pitch decks
Valuation models reports and all that stuff and connecting to vcs here and there
still building that vc connection and rolodex up but
Uh, yeah, so if you're vc hit us up
But yeah, that's kind of what's up. That's what i'm seeing like it's it's it is definitely blood on the streets
Um, I don't know. I think new year could give us a bit of like additional liquidity as well
I know like usually new year, you know new people get like raises bonuses a lot of additional disposable income
Um, the cpi report stuff came out today
Um, I think it was it was it was a bit better than what people were expecting
But people were it was still like bearish, but we've seen like bitcoin salana go up because of like the lower
cpi rates
Yeah, a lot of a lot of data I threw at you guys, but this is pretty much
You know, this is what we do on a weekly basis over here and in the everything crypto show
We spend like the first hour talking about
Macro markets and and all that stuff. So
Cole i'm gonna call you poppy to to end it off for myself here. Unfortunately, I do have a meeting in the next two minutes
