Laying on the corner, don't let the pigs get ya

You end up doing a 25 bit in the pen
You got that, you give me a cup

Top and a lesson, you slap my face
He said, listen, pay attention, brother, you're my
Afe, but don't have a question, just do it
Yo, guys, it's gonna be a movie
Today, I'm so hyped to be here
Oh my god, ApeChain on top
I see the account in the audience
Yeah, talking about ApeChain
On spaces also gives you the mindshare
On WallChain chain or maybe not
i don't know but i'll try anyway guys we still have two more minutes of intro so drop a gm
read me the space we gotta be talking about ape chain uh we already have uh nba memo here uh we
also be talking about the amazing tj's uh art pass and so on and so on. So can't wait. Happy Tuesday, Chim Tuesday.
They just celebrated three years,
And this is how I feel when I check the wall chain
and when I see Lost being above me
on the leaderboard. Thank you. Okay, okay guys lost is second orange apes are above green army and aquamarine also
NGB is below lost. I don't know what's going on guys. You need to about to rip shit up. Give me the microphone first so I can bust like a bubble.
Hopping in Lone Beach together.
Now you know you in trouble.
Ain't nothing but a cheap thing, baby.
Death row is the label that pays me.
So please don't try to fake this.
But I'm back to the lecture at hand.
So I'm gonna let them understand.
This was for my LA homies, guys.
This is Grateful Show 369.
So grateful to be here today.
We got to have a lot of fun.
And we got to be talking about Ape Chain art, tequila, and everything that's happening in the space.
There are also new scams happening.
I saw that someone got fake ledger.
So, you know, be careful.
I would approach everything as Caruso.
as Caruso because Caruso, you know, he defended Jokic.
Because Caruso, you know, he defended Jokic.
I think if you can protect your wallet as Caruso did Jokic,
NBA playoffs are in a full spin.
If you haven't listened to the episode with Clutch Markets,
guys, definitely check it out or check them out.
I already placed a bet there.
I also stake my ApeCoin there.
So let's see how it goes.
I think I lose all my ApeCoin there because it's gotta be crazy.
But Tino, how you doing, man? What's good?
GMGM, brother. All good here.
I'm super excited about today's show. ApeChain on top.
Can't wait to talk to the legends, TJ and Memo.
little homie here. So all good
how are you grateful? Are you doing good? I know
you're excited about basketball, about other
stuff. So what's going on?
I'm enjoying the space right
I love it, what a crazy game
he's giving me thumbs downs
because he's sad, he's crying
all of the teams right now
they haven't won a title only NYC actually got a title and I think something like 50 years ago.
So it's going to be exciting to see.
But I saw that Baron Davis actually will meet with Ape Chain CEO or one.
So, yeah, exciting times, times guys so hyped to be here so many things happening you know other side other side launch is around the
corner I'm trying to get some other deeds bro but it's not possible it's not possible to get
everybody's holding right those MFers man they mint and they never sell. I've been sending offers like
crazy but I cannot get the ones I want so I think I have 23 right now 24, 23. I want to get one more.
You keep stacking let's go but you're the same we're holding as well you're not are you selling
are you accepting offers you're not? No no no no offers. Nothing like that. But man, I want to ace it.
I want some other deeds that I don't have.
You need to pay per hand a bit.
And, you know, I need to get them.
Yeah, I think the good, always the good moment to buy or to your offer to be accepted
is when everything dumps a little bit
because people start making bad decisions.
And I think it's just a matter of patience, I guess.
But I'm also trying to snipe some of the deeds that we just missed the window.
We were talking about it a lot we knew that we
knew it was gonna happen like offers are amazing tool i got my m2 c um m1 c room like that uh
market went to shit someone panicked and and sold so i think it will work for other sides but the
problem with deeds is that people minted them and they never even listed them.
It's tough when you mint it.
You know, why would you sell right now?
It makes no sense, right?
Like other side wiki is incredible tool.
You can search your deeds.
Also, I mentioned that leisure ledger scam guys we've talked
about it some time ago like if you receive ledger that you didn't order like don't use it throw it
away be very careful with that because someone someone lost his money that he got ledger with
some fake letter of course these data breaches it happened happened to Coinbase. So not only Ledger, but also be careful with Coinbase, especially if you're living in the US, I think.
They got, I think, 1% of the customers with addresses and account balances.
Basically, when someone DM me or call me saying that he's from Coinbase Kraken or whatever, I'm not talking to them.
You know, I don't talk probably to anyone anymore on phone because everything is scam, right?
So I would be very careful with that.
Also, we had a great space with Somnia Network yesterday with the team.
They've been cooking blockchain, L1 blockchain for Open Metaverse.
So yeah, if you want, you can find a lot of fun in
this space uh i reveal bro i revealed the when we hosted the player zero here i revealed the
the pack for my me bit and i got some legendary uh flying brain or something
the experience was amazing so damn i'm so I'm so excited. Mibits in Metaverse will be
incredible in Metropolis.
So many exciting things are happening.
Will be great. We will have fun.
And yeah, I'm ready for the summer season, man.
our audience about Somnia, about what are you up to there? You're on top of every single leaderboard.
I'm going to share it and every MF for Hero will join and they kick. Man, we had a spaces with like top three creators. I shared the alpha and suddenly next week I was on top three. They climbed the leaderboard.
So no, I'm just excited about it.
We've done the test demos with Improbable and M-squared back in the day.
Actually, they made me a song there.
I don't know if you remember that, like that grateful song.
They made me a song live during the metaverse.
I probably won't be able to find the song.
I don't know if you can...
I remember that, man. That was amazing. That was so cool.
And I think you should mean that or something, because that's gonna be cool.
It was also from someone famous, right? So yeah, the song was...
They did it live. They did it right there.
Yeah, I'm trying to find my Grateful Song.
Yeah, I find something, but I don't have the song,
I'm probably not going to find it right now.
That would be cool to find it, actually.
Yeah, but they made a song for me there.
I really enjoy these tech demos.
I'm really bullish on digital future.
The world is getting more digital, not less.
So, man, and Gary is crazy.
He's having such a blast.
He actually got the first row seats for Kn for nicks man those that cost like 50k
so i'm jealous i'm jealous but yeah so much fun in the space right now for me i also want to get
vfriends uh one so yeah um man i don't know what to do uh what to do first because so many things
yeah we we should be waiting, I guess.
I don't know what else to tell you.
supposed to do something when
the market was more down, but
we did actually, we did, so
Yep, 100%, but man, exciting.
We also have exciting lineup.
So you will also learn more about
what they are cooking because
I think it's interesting. It's an interesting approach
that they have games that everything
I think even where you're looking at
their blockchain is so fast
that you can use it for this. But you know, I see Apechain here on stage. I don't know who's behind
that. The intern, of course. The intern. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. I don't know if intern talks. If not, it's okay. But, oh, no.
But happy to have such a beautiful logo here on stage.
Tino, I'll quickly circle around, say hi to our guests, and we get into the mingles and tequila.
Then we have a TJ here also.
We need to pin the mint and we need to pin the info about Kava.
We need to pin the mint, and we need to pin the info about Kava.
Guys, it's really cool to see so many dope things minting on ApeChain.
I also use it as support for the people in the space.
And before you do that, guys, please retweet the space so more people can join us, more people can vibe with us, have some ApeChain vibes.
So please do retweet the space, comment in the comments, say a GM, send it to somebody who might enjoy vibing with us and let's go.
It was funny because we had Somnia spaces yesterday.
Before that, I listened to Ko-fi with Captain about Kaito, content creation.
And there are really no shortcuts in basically everything that you do.
Like you can be lucky, but in the long run, I don't believe there are shortcuts because
we've learned how to create content through the years i actually talk about the 21 threat challenge
that we did in 2023 which is more than two years ago and it actually built or created a lot of new
creators that that really are still around and creating content. And you cannot cheat that.
You cannot cheat how to build a brand here
or how to build your profile here,
how you get the smart followers.
If we're talking about Kaito,
there is basically no shortcut.
Like you need to put in the work.
So yeah, I'm really grateful to be here right now
because sometimes you feel
like holy smoke i'm so behind everything but if you look where we started bro like uh it's it
we can be really grateful for for that it doesn't mean that we're stopping or slowing down but
we should be grateful man i completely agree i think uh often when you are on the on your way
somewhere you you think you are very far already.
But at the same time, we saw it with Gary.
We thought it will be after 30 episodes.
Oh, we have done so much already.
We talk about all these YouTubers, Mr. Beast and other guys,
who basically did their homework for many, many, many, many sleeveless nights,
many times tweaked their concepts, tweaked their content, tried different things, experimented.
And I think this gets you there.
Exactly as you mentioned, the Threat Challenge, some of the guys are, until this day, killing it
because they started writing back then and that feels really amazing
also it's really interesting to talk to people that just joined twitter and they have like
500 followers and they are trying to figure out a way how to grow what to do here how to network
with other people right i i saved quote from uh tim ferris I think this one was quite popular last week on Twitter. A few
people actually quoted it too.
Ah, shit, I don't know how to pronounce this word. Okay, so
he said, no hurry, no pause
at the top of my notebooks
as a daily reminder. You can get
putting one foot in front of the
other, right? And I think this is the way
and this is the alpha. If you don't know what to do, just keep going. Like you mess up something,
it doesn't matter. If you quit, that it means it's over, right? So I think for most of the people,
whether you are building on Ape Chain, creating content, having a show, whatever. Just keep going.
And it's great to have examples here in this space.
You know, I mentioned Captain.
They have episode like 900 something.
Of course, we know our friend Squiddy.
He's on episode 1,900,000 or something like that.
So yeah, it's really exciting to see that.
But guys, trust me, no shortcuts.
And I really believe 2025 with all the metaverse stuff
and we see already digital wearables.
It's going to be really exciting years.
Oh my God, such a legend.
So yeah, I wish I could go there.
We have Formula One in Monaco.
I saw a few people coming.
So it's going to be dope event. event yeah so I quickly say hi to our
guests here and we gotta get into tequila so I start with TJ TJ what's up how you doing today
hey good morning guys Jim Jim how are you I'm doing great can't wait to talk more about what
you cooking on ApeJ man yeah it's, it's just chilling. I'm excited.
It's a pretty interesting journey that it's been going on.
And I'm very happy to see a lot of people, you know, minting.
Some of my friends are still minting.
That makes me very happy.
And I'm excited to work one-on-one with some of my friends
that I've done some art for for the past years.
I'm happy to be here. Thank you for having me.
Thanks so much for joining. I definitely need new banner.
Mine is a little bit outdated. I forgot to add
the new ape or the new mutant that I created
from my ape with serum. that that ape is missing there
and yeah can't wait to talk more about uh about the past and about how it works so
yeah happy you join us for sure
another legend that we have here is mba memo how you doing the tequila master GM GM tequila
I'm doing great man I'm doing great it's 10 20 a.m here
just waking up to this beautiful show man I'm so excited thank you for having
me here sup Dino sup everybody
what's good I still can't believe that that the girl
actually mentioned that she loves greatflip
such a such a crazy clip she's still in my DMs can't believe that that the girl uh actually meant mentioned that she loves greatflip uh
such a such a crazy clip uh she's still in my dms so uh i'm flying to spain soon amazing amazing
amazing utility bro i love that thank you man thank you we do what we can for our holders and
people who support us and mingles girls they have been amazing, man. They've been supporting the project for years now.
And, I mean, I'm glad that we were able to pay back a little bit of that support from them
and bring them to Europe through Paris NFT.
No, man, they're amazing.
People in Guadalajara and all over the world, of course,
the Mingles Girls in Guadalajara have been just outstanding, man.
One thing was interesting that I was like,
man, I can fly to Barcelona right now because, you know,
And she was like, I know I'm tracking your portfolio.
So I was like, okay, okay, I got it, I got it.
Yeah, that's the year 2025, man.
You can't hide anything in this space.
That's both good and bad, you know.
Like you said, scams are happening all over the place.
I've been a victim to several.
So it's just so sad, man.
Builders are here for the future of blockchain.
Not just 8-chain, which we all love, but, you know, the future on what we believe. And builders take years, years to bring people on
to build the industry and just scammers,
awful people out there destroy so fast with so much power.
It's just sad, but builders will prevail
and we will be fine, man.
There's always going to be bad players in the space
because we won't and blockchain doesn't forgetness oh yeah and we have tools uh i i see law here
i got him invite for ethos and we are getting tools that you can at least like check if the person is legit because I'm getting so many DMs
and even though we have many mutuals etc etc you never you never know right so I'm getting the
security to another level like with multiple devices and not doing not installing stuff on
my computer etc but it's crazy right like normal? Like normal person can handle that, can do that.
So yeah, I don't know if there's a solution.
I really hope there's going to be some
Also guys, the Banana Bill report by Nova.
I haven't studied it yet.
So I don't know what it says, but it looks like a solid report.
So check it out. I'll pin it up now. And let's get into what you guys cooking.
Yeah, for sure. For sure. Grateful. Just wanted to give a big shout out right now.
There's a couple of people out here that I want to say hi to.
Of course, Captain Gene Law,
Don Diablo, man. Don Diablo has been amazing. He's been advising me on their situation that
I've been going through. Marshall, a big shout out to Marshall. He's our community member. He's
been with me for years. That guy's a beast, man, for whoever is looking for a great community
manager to hire or people to help him out. That guy's honestly a beast. And I want to thank him
everything that he's done for us, along with everybody else in the Mingles team. Tojo, man,
probably our number one fan. Kasim, man, it's been a while. Terrence, I mean, there's so many people
out here rocking apes, rocking NFTs on Ape Chain. I love you guys. You guys are the reason why we
builders make our best effort to bring something of value to our chain.
And with that opening, yeah, man, we are about to fulfill our biggest dream for Mingles to date, of course.
This is the Kaba program. I don't know, grateful if you remember, we talked about it when I was almost arrested in NFT Paris on the Eiffel Tower.
I was almost arrested in NFT Paris on the Eiffel Tower.
Yep. And I love that, man. Screaming, I love Grateful Show is the way. And if you get arrested,
it's even better, right? Yeah, yeah. I loved it, man. I'll do that more often, just in different
kind of places. But, you know, we talked about it probably two months ago, and we've been building behind the curtains.
I know people expect projects to build really fast, but when you're building things that have to do with in real life, with two kind of like standards, it's hard.
I want to give some alpha.
I want to make the best out of this space, the grateful show.
The alpha is that we finally got our trademarks. And
I know that may sound stupid to some people, but it took us a year. It took us a year to get all of
our trademarks in place. We already hold the trademarks for Mingles Tequila, for Mingles NFT
Club, NFT Project, both in Mexico and the United States. This is a huge win because the Cava program would
never be possible without it. As a part of what Mingles is all about, it's about tequila education.
Of course, it's about the party and getting wasted and having a great time. It's just part of the
lifestyle, right? But it also has to do with one of the most beautiful spirits out there. The history
is amazing. The process is gorgeous,
and we wanna walk through people through it, right?
And the education on it is that you can't just say,
hey, I'm gonna do a tequila brand
and come out of nowhere and start selling tequila.
You gotta go through a process
and you first have to do the trademarks.
If you don't have your trademarks in place,
it is impossible to get a tequila bottle made. So you don't have your trademarks in place, it is impossible to get a
tequila bottle made. So we couldn't have started the Caba program and the tequila mingles, which
is under development right now, without the trademark. So this is the first big win, which
has not been announced. I was waiting for this show and for the Caba program posts. So trademarks
are here and we already signed yesterday. We signed with the
lawyers and we're posting a video on it on the right moment where we signed with Galeria Distillery,
which is one out of three distilleries from our business partner and investor. So this is huge.
Thank you everyone for making this possible because without the Genesis Mintout, we would have never been able to close down this partnership with our tequila investor.
And on that note, our tequila investor, I'm going to post a video, grateful, if you don't mind, paint out there so you guys can check out a video where I'm explaining the Caba program as well.
as well, but he just gifted 5,555 bottles, tequila reposado bottles for our community,
which is huge, man. You know what it means? Like imagine seeing 5,000 bottles together,
brother printed with a Mingles brand on it. It's just huge.
Are you bringing those bottles to Las Vegas? Yes, sir, I am. And thank you for bringing that up.
So part of the education that I want to give out to people out there,
You know, it's regulated by a council called CRT,
which means the Regulatory Tequila Council.
It's been around for decades and they make sure
because tequila is a denomination of origin.
So you can't mess with tequila, man. If
you use the tequila brand for anything out there, you are liable for legal disputes because the
tequila is a brand registered by both the CRT and the government at the same time. It's really,
really protected, which is why we can't just throw out there, you know, we are a tequila community,
but we never mentioned tequila at anything that we do that has to do with
a brand that directly is connected to us.
We got to spin it because tequila is a trademark, right?
So having said this, you can't just send alcohol everywhere in the world.
And we got people from Europe, people from the US, Mexico, Asia.
We have a very varied community in our ranks. So we can't just send tequila and it is expensive.
So what we're going to do is implement the CABA program, right? And the CABA program is a way
that we can actually deliver the value on a tequila bottle into your hands if you're not
able to collect your in real life bottle. And in this case, at least for 2025, we're giving an
option for token holders to claim the rights to this bottle during a fest. Of course, I mean,
we got, you know, Rita's got like 400 mingles and he's not going to be able to take home 400.
No, but man, you know, Rita's trip to Miami, I think it showed that he doesn't have to bring them home because I think he'll be able to drink all of them during the Vegas trip, man.
I'm talking to Alho as well and he's like, yeah, so can we make that tequila happen at Vegas?
You know, I think Alu passes some plans to do something cool around 8th as well.
Man, NGB is not even requesting today because I think he still can talk
what you guys do because that's another
story. By the way, I think
A whole festival out of it. I thought
part of the spotlight of Price
is that he was going to have a private romantic dinner one-on-one,
you know, kind of like a date with Graga.
I don't know about you guys.
And it just turned out to be like this huge Soho party
with everybody just having a great time.
It was kind of like the pre-Ape Fest, you know?
100%. 100%. I know also showbiz was there right uh gucita and some other dgen so it looked great i love it i i think the irl is the alpha and when
you meet people irl the more you meet them the better so yeah great great move no man amazing
yeah so uh coming back to what the Cava program is, we want to
replicate what a traditional Cava program in tequila is. So for every tequila lover out there
that doesn't know this, there's several types of tequila and the most famous ones are Blanco,
Reposado, and AΓ±ejo. So for a tequila to become a Reposado, an aΓ±ejo has to go through an aging process in oak barrels or different kind of barrels.
And it takes up to one year for it to become an aΓ±ejo or from three months to 11.99999 months to become a reposado.
So you have three month reposado, four month reposado, six month reposado, four-month reposado, six-month reposado, whatever you want. This process has actually
become quite an investment opportunity for people out there. If you come here to Mexico to a
distillery, you can put in $100,000 into barrels. You start with a blanco. A couple months later,
you get a repo, and then you can sell it for a premium price. And the best premium price you can get in aging,
it's either a repo or an extra aΓ±ejo,
meaning it should be older than a year.
So extra aΓ±ejo is like two years, three years,
and then you got extra extra aΓ±ejo and so many varieties, right?
But you usually don't have access to these opportunities,
which is where Mingles comes in.
Mingles is giving the central light access to a very closed industry, which is where Mingles comes in. Mingles is giving the centralized access to a very closed industry,
which is the tequila industry.
And it's also very expensive.
So what we bring is the opportunity to be part of the industry,
to be part of the culture without having to spend millions of dollars on it.
Now, this CABA program, we're bringing it to A-Chain.
And I'm glad that the A-Chain hub is here because I need a five minute with him or her or whatever.
Because we want to bring an agave field or tequila distillery into the other side.
And we want to fly for one of those beautiful, beautiful lands that they got in their treasury.
But that's another story.
Either way, this CABA program comes to blockchain.
And the way we're going to do it is staking your Mingles 8.
When you stake your Mingles 8 NFT, you get in return as a claim another NFT called GABA, which is going to be a dynamic NFT.
It's going to have some tech around it, which is going to be beautiful.
And it's going to start an aging process, which automatically with the smart contract,
that Cava Blanco NFT is going to transform into a reposado,
you know, replicating the process.
Once you have the reposado,
you're going to have the same two options
that we discussed previously
when we were in Paris two months ago,
I want to play my in real life bottle at Ape Fest and or guys sell the bottle. Give me what is
worth. Now, I want to be very, very specific about this because for everybody out there,
Mingles is a registered trademark and it's also a registered business entity company in the United States in
Wyoming under Mindles NFT, Dow LLC. We may work slowly into what Web3 optics are, but you bet
your ass that we are super strong when it comes to the legal side of things, and we are building
here for the long run, right? So we have to disclaim that this is not claiming revenues.
This is not claiming profit sharings.
Like I mentioned before, this is a gift from our investor to everybody.
And the way we're doing it is either you get the bottle and or this is where the Mingles team comes in practice.
During this fourth month of staking,
we're going to finish the development of the bottle and we're going to work with our distributors to
bring Tequila Mingles into play, sell the first batch, which is going to be the whatever 4,000
bottles, 5,000 bottles, depending on what the community decides on which ones they play in
real life. So we're going to sell them as a proof of concept.
And out of that money, we're going to change it into 8-point,
and we're going to gift it away to whoever holds the Reposado NFT,
which will have to be burned.
So that's exactly what we're doing, and that's exactly how we're doing it.
So it is legally compliant, because we's exactly how we're doing it. So it is
legally compliant, because we want to do things right, man. And Mingles is all about creating
value for their holders, not extracting value. There will come a time when Baby Mingles comes
into play, and we actually crowdfund the distillery itself. As a reminder, Mingles 8 is the Genesis collection,
and we're building this to be the biggest tequila club out there,
which already is, you know, in crypto at least.
And which NFT you need to actually be able to get the physical bottle?
It's the Mingles one, or is there any other one?
NFT that we got out there,
we have no tokens, no other NFTs
NFT we have out there is the Mingles
Ape Chain, which is on Magic Eden.
That's the only NFT you're going to need.
You just have to go to our website,
Mingles.wtf. You're going to see the CABA program there. You stake your Mingles NFT and you will get back in return the CABA NFT. To claim the bottle, you're going to have to use the CABA NFT.
process, your Mingles 8 will still be electable for more prizes, for more gifts, because this is
not the last time that we reward our holders. But yes, to answer your question, the Kaba NFT is the
one that has to be burned to be able to claim either your bottle in real life or 8 coin against
it, which will validate our MVP. When we finalize this program,
our MVP will be finally taken care of.
You know, it's going to be amazing
because we're going to show other bigger investors
what we're able to do to really get the money that we need
to push the baby Mingle Smith.
So Mimo, what are the next steps basically for us holders?
What do we need to do in very easy words?
In easy words, on Saturday, May 24th,
you just have to go to the website,
We're going to be posting videos on the development,
on the tequila bottle. We're going to be posting videos on the development, on the tequila bottle.
We're going to be posting videos on the distillery.
We're just going to keep building.
And for all the ape holders out there,
if we're going to go to Ape Fest,
you know, we'll see you guys in October,
give you guys the real bottle.
And for everybody else who would probably claim
ApeCoin against it, you know,
they'll make good money on it.
So in a way, that's us saying thank you.
So you just got to go to the website and stake.
And of course, give us a like, retweet our post, just give us some support on social
to get the work around that Tequila is building and it's building on ApeChain.
And maybe a question from my side regarding Mingles, how they are connected to this, because we'll be burning them if I understood correctly. Does the rarity play any role or it doesn't matter at all? It's some kind of a gamified experience?
it's it's more of a personal gamified experience they're not going to have a
a rarity trait to it uh it's going to be fun but it's not a collection it's not a pfp uh you know
this is just a reward and we're making it into a gamified kava experience educating to to uh
you know replicate the the traditional process but no rar is to it man it's just tequila for everybody
yeah i just got three more so i don't drink but if i have six six nfts i will be able to get six
bottles right so if if i travel for six days or a week to vegas and i start drinking drinking there oh my god i i really might end up
with a face tattoo or marriage so i'm kind of worried right now i'll bring a couple mingles
girls man maybe you can marry one of them oh my god holy holy that's crazy but we need more
leverage man we're gonna use mingles girls to get leverage on ape chain man oh my god that's wild
but yeah any other questions that you guys might have yeah so the price is like 10 uh ape coin
which is like six seven dollars right what are you planning to sell the the bottles for that is
a great question and actually part of what you're
going to see on the Tab Program platform on our website is going to be like the math behind it
if we achieve certain prices. So we're going to make our best case to sell this tequila for like
15 bucks. A regular price for a reposable 100% agave
on the quality that we're going to have,
it's about $20 to $30 retail price.
Of course, we're not going to get that
because we got to go through a distributor.
So our goal is going to try to get as much as $20 per bottle,
We might end up selling for $15, maybe $13, $18.
We've already been in conversations with people,
but until we have the finalized product,
we're going to know for sure, right?
Because there's also costs involved.
So we just want to make sure that this is very, very well executed
because then we can just escalate the MVP, right?
can we see the design of the
bottle already? Do you have it somewhere?
No, no, no. So for parents... No, it's still
secret. Not quite secret. Actually,
involve the community or the
people around it. So we're going to be
live streaming, you know, designing
the bottle. And if people have some thoughts about it,
we want to hear them out.
host a contest on the Mingos bottle,
Right now, what we're doing is finalizing,
like we just signed up yesterday
and there's some paperwork
that we need to get done with the CRT.
So it'll take about three to four weeks
to get all of the paperwork in which we are going to start doing the design because that design has to get done with the CRT. So it'll take about three to four weeks to get all of the paperwork
in which we are going to start doing the design
because that design has to be approved by the CRT
and it also has to be approved by the United States.
This is why the staking is going to take four months
because we'll probably take like three months
to develop the whole thing,
do pre-orders with some distributors
so we can get there on the fourth month
able to claim their aid coin and or probably take us a couple extra weeks which we will
communicate at every single step of the way i do like it uh my question because you mentioned
already that uh the whole industry is pretty centralized i can imagine there is quite some
lobbying going on similar to wine industry and other similar industries correct and uh my question is uh how do these industries uh feel
about web3 when you because it must feel so alien uh for them to when you talk to talk to them about
these kind of ideas this kind of innovation so what what are the reactions? How does this work? What has it been for you up to now?
That is an excellent question, Dino. And to give you an answer on that, that's why it was so hard
for us to sell the investment to tequila people, because the tequila industry, for the most part,
is like dinosaurs, man. You know, the industry itself is not that old and
innovation is lacking, right? There's so much innovation. The last innovation in tequila was
the Cristalinos and that was it. And, you know, things like that. But Cuervo, like three, two,
three years ago, experimented on blockchain. They bought some land on the central land and they
built what they called the first ever meta distillery on chain.
So they built it on the Centraland, and it was kind of like a gamified experience where you
would grow agave and then go through the distillation process and ultimately join the
rooftop with people and have margaritas. It was actually pretty good, man. They spent millions
of dollars on it, but in my opinion, it was a failure
because they didn't build anything around it.
They didn't build culture.
They didn't build community
because they're a brand, man.
And for brands like Cuervo,
they can't just put out their assets
that are attached to their brands,
you know, like Yuga Labs.
Anybody holding an ape can open up a taco business,
a tequila bottle, a tequila, I'm sorry, a strip club. They
can do whatever they want because they got the freedom for it. And big companies like Cuervo,
they just can't afford that. So I think they used it as a marketing play to just bring people into
Cuervo brand, which I don't know if it really worked, but I haven't seen them do anything else.
After Cuervo did this, on the same year, probably
four months later, Tequila San Matias built an experience on Sandbox. It was kind of like the
competition, right? And they built what they called the first ever tequila fields on the
metaverse, back when the metaverse was huge. Then the hype stopped for the metaverse. It didn't
really work. I talked to some of the people involved in the process for the San Matias blockchain venture. They lost a couple million dollars on it. So they already lost faith. Patron was going to do something in the metaverse as well, but it stopped when the metaverse hype died.
So in my opinion, some of the tequila players out there see blockchain and see blockchain communities as customers.
You know, we want to sell tequila to them.
I've seen other projects trying to sell tequila bottles to people.
And I think it's a little bit misguided, misplaced.
I think if you've been a DGN for quite a while now, we're not here to buy products for brands.
We're here to build things
that were not possible before. Thanks to decentralization, we can do crowdfunding.
We can build our own brands. We can build our own communities and then go after the big guys
out there. We are not customers. We are not pockets for people to come in and grab and extract liquidity from us.
We're here to build ideas.
We're here to build future brands that are going to be billion-dollar brands like we've seen before.
And we're here to make a stand.
We're here to tell the big corporations that the little guys matter, that we can get together, we can raise money together and build brands together so I don't think big brands get that man or whoever's behind them when
they do some blockchain activities. Tino I think you were very early with the
alcohol and NFTs right didn't you have like a limited edition bottle with a very famous distillery here with nft yes sir this was
2020 2021 i think that's crazy uh so we did uh we did uh a collab my brand did a collab with a
famous uh distillery uh he's an award-winning uh for mainly famous for his gin and famous for his absinthe.
So what he did, he replicated Uptin from 19th century,
He actually had a chance to taste it,
to buy it for quite some money and just a little bit of it.
And based on that flavor, he managed to come as close as possible that even the people from the Museum of Absinthe,
who were among a few people who tasted it,
were 100% sure it was the original Absinthe from 19th century.
And we did a collab together for a special edition of Absinthe.
And that was exactly around my time when we started with NFTs.
And my idea was, what if we minted, it was back in the day on Rarible.
We minted one piece of the label, basically label design.
label design a guy bought it back then for 0.3 eat uh he got uh he got uh of course the the limited
A guy bought it back then for 0.3 ETH.
edition of the absent which was sold out in seconds basically the the real bottle and uh he
also got some uh some cool stuff afterwards uh with our nft project rumple crew so you are right
i completely forgot about that uh That was really, really cool.
I just was thinking, I want to have something on blockchain as art, as an NFT.
And this was around the same time when we did this.
It was the time when Clubhouse was big. We did quite some stuff on Clubhouse with the guy from Distillery and some interviews and stuff like that.
So this is really cool. Thank you for this memory. I really love that. And I really love what you
are doing, Mimo. I'm sorry to step in, but I think it's very cool to see kind of disruption. And I
love when people think differently and this kind of aging and cover process bringing it from the the real
industry into reality i think that's perfect and congrats on that and i think i think like drinks
in general are great for made by apes uh we see a water i see gene here we have a board brewing right um we have a beer brands and we have gin ape by the way the
the mint is happening today uh makash dme uh damn it's such a long dm but i think the gin ape if you
are on the allow list is happening is happening today so uh it's gonna be the gin that
Actually it was part of the guinness world record. So they they took the gin from there and they I think they bottle it into
Or they can it so they put it into cans. So you can have the gin from nft paris
And where can you get by the way that guy is a beast man. He had a giant eight
Walking around nftries, man. I have a lot of respect and love for him.
It's on raccoonjin.com, guys. So if you are on AllowList, go there and I think you'll be able to mint it there. I don't know if it's under the NFT or airdrop I'll check it out later I don't want to disturb
or bring attention further
from Mimo but I pinned it on top
hey guys real quick grateful I want to give it a shout out
Bogan has been amazing for Mingles.
He is the CEO, and he's Mexican.
Man, I'm proud that he brings Mexico into the spot.
But he's the CEO for Plagis.
You know, if he comes on board and wants to say something, I'll be happy.
But he just minted out a collection for the Plagis apartment,
and he's been kind of like an advisor for us on a personal level.
I don't want to say it's on a professional Plagis advising mingles because right now I'm all about just disclaiming things.
But, you know, met him in NFT Paris, partied with him, joined by Tequila, of course, during several during the ledger party, actually, that we sponsored.
I actually ended up inviting him to my wedding in
rome which he attended to so you know much love for the guy i just wanted to give him a little bit
of love love that love it the connections in this space are insane uh it's incredible i'll do quick
refresh of the room uh i see space kitty here with hand up so so I'll definitely get there. But we have a quick refresh, guys.
If you have any questions, drop them into the comments.
You can share whatever you want.
Yeah, Tino, we are so boring that we don't drink.
It would be so much funnier if we actually drink, especially in Vegas.
That would be crazy, man.
Or maybe not maybe for yourself i've been day drinking since like
nine this morning because i've had like the worst day ever so i woke up skip bacon went
straight for chocolate cake and a bunch of wine so i apologize in advance some of us do drink
sometimes yeah day drink day drinking uh but it depends right it's almost night here so
it's maybe not even day drinking but i saw your hand up uh do you have any questions or you want
to share anything i do actually yeah i wanted to find out so i have a question um so i went and i
bought two mingles um which are really cute by the way. I don't know if I would eat that worm
out of the bottom of it, because if it does anything to you, like the strawberry in the
bottom of the moonshine, honey, let me tell you, I don't want to do that, okay? You don't want to do that.
But my question is, so 8Fest, if you are in the United States, I know you said there's funny,
like, shipping stuff, could it be shipped to you if you're in the United States, I know you said there's funny like shipping stuff.
Could it be shipped to you if you're in the United States?
Is that an option to be able to pay that shipping or no?
It is an option, but it won't be an option for us.
By the way, thank you for the cuteness and the worms.
And we do play around with some gummy worms when we go out because we infuse them in tequila.
So if I see you and when I see you at 8Fest,
I'm going to make sure I bring some of those.
But yeah, to answer your question.
I'm going to be drunk at 8Fest.
It's going to be the biggest thing in the year.
Promise me, Spike Gummy Warps, I'm going.
You better be there. So to answer your question,
there are ways for us as a company to send tequila within the United States.
So in the United States, there's a thing called the three tire system.
If you want to bring products in and every single state has their own laws regarding alcohol, liquors.
Right. So it is it is virtually almost impossible.
Like you can illegally do it by sending it
and just not disclaiming that it is tequila,
which we are not going to do, of course.
And there is, because if you go to FedEx,
DHL, they have it on their policies.
You just can't send liquor like that.
And we don't want to get into any problems.
There is a way, if you have a registered tequila club, right? But we
would need all of the members in the United States to register for it using their real names,
kind of like a know your customer kind of thing. So you have to physically apply to be part of the
club. And once it's registered, then us as a club within the
United States, then we can send tequila bottles. We are looking into it. Trust me, trust me,
this will take time. The legal around these kind of things, it's just ridiculous, but we will get
it through. Now, our business partner and investor already has a warehouse in California. So it makes it a little bit easier.
So we got four or five months to make it happen and send tequila to Nevada
because we don't want to be stuck in the border with a lot of bottles
and not being able to give the bottles to the eight people at the test.
But it makes things easier.
Man, I want to claim my bottles and I want to give them away to DGens here.
That's going to be my play, guys. So, yeah, if you meet me during Ape Fest, I'd be like,
hey, I have a tequila for you here. So, yeah, probably for the people in the US,
I'm not sure if I can bring that tequila back to Europe. You can bring five bottles of tequila, I think.
That's what I was saying.
per person, I think you can bring
But four liters, because bottles are
it's pretty much almost like
five bottles, man. when i traveled from mexico
to to paris i brought some bottles with me on the suitcases and we didn't have any problems like you
can bring as much as five bottles no more than that that's why i was i was saying you know if
you got 20 mingles 100 mingles you won't be able to bring that much tequila so you may claim in
real life four or five bottles and then you you can claim Ape against the rest,
which will be the best MVP case
for actually having value from your token,
because it's going to be worth a lot more
from what you paid from the initial mint.
I'm so grateful that he's going to be drunk
before he even gets to us, maybe even get lost.
It's grateful you can't bring in leaders
with you because i'm afraid you won't get to us if you do that so i i would give it to a chain
a chain intern but the problem is that uh he or she is 13 so uh it's not legal age for drinking
in u.s so yeah but you can wait for like uh yeah for like a year in czech republic and for like
eight years in u.s right But I don't think it works
like that anymore here. But when I was 15 or something, I don't think there was an issue to
get a beer in Italy when I was 12. I was there on basketball tournament. They served food and they
gave me a glass of wine. I was 12. I was like, guys, are you sure about it? And they were like,
yeah, yeah, we drink wine here since like we are 10 or something like that. I was like, okay, I don't
mind. I'll have it. But yeah, that's really funny. But yeah, this is going to be amazing. I think,
man, this is going to be so good. This is going to be also great gift for DGents. Man, you know,
I see, I see genius laughing because he's
gonna get one. He's gonna get one. I'm 100%
sure. I'll give him one bottle.
Hunter, if it's coming, and Law,
you know, the Aquamarine gang.
Guys, you need it. Hydroanimation, of course.
So, yeah, it's gotta be so
much fun. Can't wait. Can't wait.
Tino, you were unmuted before.
I don't know if you have any questions or anything to add uh because i was too excited i had some some notes from my back uh
back in the day when i was still drinking and coming from the u.s i was also bringing some
mezcal bottles uh some limited editions one from the u.s so it's possible to bring some bottles
and yeah it's it's uh i can see already grateful giving away all his tequila.
I picked up a few Mingles right now and I think people are doing the same.
So make sure guys to have a look at Magic Eater.
And if you are excited about the project, yeah.
Holy smoke. Yeah. Thank you, Taino. Thank you. yeah we're shilling holy smoke
I'm going to help you with your sales real quick
and you want to send me a bottle of tequila
my ape chain Addy is on my wall
so if you want to go get a mingle and send it to me
I'm going to do the first.
Okay, Space Kitty, are you going for Ape Fest?
So it's in October today.
Right now I'm trying to figure out
where me and my kids are moving.
I'm laying on my friend's couch right now
working remote. So I have no idea. I don't exactly know. I'm laying on my friend's couch right now working remote.
I don't know what I'm doing in October.
But highly more likely though now.
Where is it going to be in October?
Is it the one out in Vegas?
I actually have to check when Oktoberfest starts in Germany
because we have a lot of German apes.
For them, it's going to be a very tough month.
Somebody should do a beer one and then be out there.
We can do the beer out there.
We can just have, and then we can do it at wine in Italy.
So we could do, we should do that.
There's a couple of beer projects.
There's a couple of beer projects on ApeChain, man.
I tried some at the Bodeda back
in Lisbon and in Paris as well a lot of people are doing beer are any of them
doing beer that don't taste like pee bubbles I don't know what pee tastes like
but I assume that that's what it tastes like those we are sponsored actually we
are sponsored by by not only other space but also by the board brewing. They just don't know about it yet.
But I see Gene, you know, here.
But they also had a really cool mint.
They minted kegs and they put your ape on the keg,
So yeah, we have a lot of great...
but I already sent him a contract into
the into the DM so yeah just you know sign it and send it back Gene we have so many talented people
in the in the club it's incredible and as a network and as a as a group like we have so many
cool projects so yeah love it love what you cooking man can't wait for Vegas because
bottles recently and I don't drink
so I have them here on display
I have some vodka from Mongolia
I don't know but the bottle
is amazing so yeah I can have a
maybe we can bring some as you said the worms I don't know, but the bottle is amazing. So yeah, I can have a tequila here too.
Maybe we can we can bring some as you said the worms if they are non-alcoholic That's something that we can give to to intern here on stage
Yeah, before he or she turns 21
We might have a you know, we've been
Studying the possibility because we know some people don't really drink alcohol, don't really like tequila
but they like the culture, they like what it
stands for and the parties and just being
around. You know, tequila is about
the lifestyle around tequila
is just enjoy life, you know
that's pretty much the ethos of tequila
connecting people which is the same ethos as
Web3 but if you don't drink alcohol
The what? Wasn't it nokia not tequila i don't know maybe no one got the joke from the 90s right only the only us in the 50s
has united and connected a lot more people than nok has, man. Don't quote me on that, though.
But we might come out with a project, we might come out with a product, which is going to be kind of like a mixer.
So, you know, something special for the H&H intern.
Sometimes when I'm around really, really drunk people,
It can be very uncomfortable.
But during ApeFest, everyone had such a great vibe
being completely wasted drunk.
So I can't wait to be around you guys.
I really hope if you drink, you're going to be drunk
and we will have a lot of fun because it was so good.
It was like, oh my God, grateful. I love to see you and and the next day I was like hey, how did you enjoy it?
Oh, did we meet? I was like, oh, yeah, we did so but now
I want to make a rule. Can we make a rule where we forbid people to drink alcohol from their shoes?
Don't do that. Don't do that.
forbid that, but there's a deal with
Cool Kicks, right? And I can't wait.
I'm sneakerhead. I love sneakers. I've been
I'm not going to say the time because
then, you know, it's probably longer than most
of the people in the audience
But I love sneakers, can't wait for that.
Mimo, we'll slowly move to TJ,
but is there anything that we forgot to ask you
that you wanted to add, mention?
You know, I kind of forgot Mandret and Huddle.
They've been amazing for the project too.
So I didn't want to say goodbye
without thinking about them
because Mandret used to be a moderator right now
and Huddle managed collaborations.
We kind of stopped doing that
because we're refocusing what Mingles is as a community.
We don't want to be an alpha group.
We want to just focus on our own thing.
There's a lot of alpha groups out there.
That's why we kind of like paused with them.
But, you know, I want to thank all of Mingles' team.
I want to thank everybody who's made this possible.
I will make sure as hard as I can to bring as much value back to the community
who supported us like this, you know. And I want to bring as much value back to the community who supported us
like this, you know? And I want to thank you, man. I want to thank Tino. I want to thank everybody
who hosts us on Spaces and everybody who believes in us. It means the world to me, even though I
can't really express it, but I will show it with actions. And, you know, I'll see you guys at ATHES thank you for everything man
let's go let's go and you forgot what you forgot one thing man
I want to thank me for believing in me I want to thank me for doing all this hard work
I want to thank me for having no days off.
Thank you so much for joining, man.
And if you have time, stay here with us, guys.
If you don't have them, get some.
So you can get bottles of tequila in Nevada.
And just, you know, these two words, tequila and Nevada.
It sounds a little bit dangerous. It's got to be crazy. Oh, you know, can you imagine can you imagine that we start drinking there in the desert like
I have a dream. I want to wake up
I want to wake up in Bellagio with the tiger in our bathroom
Or I don't know if our maybe my bathroom I want to wake up in Bellagio with the tiger in our bathroom.
I don't know if our, maybe my bathroom.
We're not going to share the room, bro.
Wow, that escalated so fast.
No, I know some of your stories from your past life.
It's dangerous. It's dangerous.
Yeah, that's why I'm not dogs, right?
But that escalated quickly, guys.
It was so much fun with Somnia yesterday because a lot of community didn't know me on Spaces.
So I started really slow and then it started escalating.
So I'm worried that whenever we do another community episode, no one will show up.
So hyped that we have also ApeChain Hub account here because ApeChain is where NFTs belong, right?
ApeChain brought fun to NFTs.
They're doing amazing job,
So it really feels great.
It's not common to see such a,
such a hardworking group.
We have the WallChain guys.
So keep quacking, keep quacking on the timeline.
yeah, I don't know if you can DM me.
It's not like if you don't have 100K PFP, right?
I'm not going to talk to you.
We can't do these jokes anymore because it was wild.
I actually met the guy, man.
Tino, I met Yildasaurus in Miami 2022. I actually met the guy, man. Tino. I met Yieldo Sours in Miami
I think it was just after the famous
that like 100 million people
copy-pasted and copy-pasta.
But you're good. He talked to you.
He did. That's true, man.
2022, I don't know what was the floor price of Apes.
He probably combined everything I had.
Guys, really excited about our next guest, TJ.
Because TJ has a really cool mint on Ape Chain.
We're going to talk about what it is about,
And we started this show as a space to support artists
because to this day, I still believe that art belongs on blockchain
and that it's a backbone, that artists are a backbone of this space.
You know, the vibes and everything that we've experienced during our show,
And yeah, I'm really happy to have tj here so
tj welcome here again really really hyped uh could you give us maybe a short overview how did you end
up in this space because i don't know so it minutes it's been a while for me man uh i think uh
i was i mentioned this before i um i was you know just drawing for fun on um for a lot of friends
back before the five tree i was hearing a lot of hard covers for artists, friends of mine.
And one day I came across, I forgot who it was.
There were a couple of people talking about NFTs and, you know, I barely knew what NFTs were back then.
And I kind of did a little research and just, you know, people were like talking about like,
oh my God, you know, like, you know, people are selling art for this much and this and that like there's a place for artists nowadays like you don't have
to deal with galleries or like the middleman and just the hustle just trying to get your art out
there and uh you know it's already tough trying to do it on um you know like on instagram where
uh algorithm sometimes just a mess in there. But yeah, yeah.
Like, you know, I got a little excited about that.
I told myself, you know, I'm going to go check that out.
And I discovered Beepo during that time.
Obviously, you know, he was doing and I got excited.
You know, I was like, you know, let me try it, you know, see how these things work. You know, so I created my first MetaMask wallet and I was still learning about, you know, how to send money from one wallet to another.
It was pretty interesting.
So, you know, I invented my first art, I think on Polygon, if I remember.
A friend of mine was like, hey, I like your art.
Like, who are you? And I was like, ah, I like your, your art. Like, who are you?
And I was like, ah, you know, I'm just an artist.
I can't, I come from, from Instagram and I discovered like, you know, crypto through
Then I learned about NFTs, you know, and I find out, oh my God, you can sell art.
can sell art you know like there's people out there who actually care about art and love art
You know, like there's people out there who actually care about art and love art.
and uh i guess i was lucky enough to join um when there was like the the new wave of like nfts like
to sell one-on-ones uh back in like a little bit like late 2021 if i remember the top of my head
um i would see so many artists when i joined the sp. Oh, sorry. When I joined the space and I would see so many artists just selling art.
You know, there were people collecting art from them.
And they were collecting art from other artists.
And it was really fun to see.
So I was like, you know what, let me make my first art.
And that's when I sold my first art in Polygon to one of my friends.
I still remember, I was just looking back,
like I think it was two days ago
through my first collection on OpenSea.
And I was just kind of like bringing back the memories,
like my journey where it started from back in 2021.
And from there, I just kind of like told myself,
I gotta get more art out there this is
kind of fun you know there's uh people who love yourself you know and um yeah man and uh from
there i kind of like discovered my first uh uh first nft community uh i forgot the name of the
community they're no longer here i think uh but it was like a zombie if i remember and um i did
some art for them as well they did some art contest uh was like dead zombie if I remember and I did some art for them as well
They did some art contest was like dead fellas or something like that. No, no, it was way before that fellas
There was a collection actually
It was called eat walkers. I don't know if anyone
I don't know if anyone remembered it.
Remember that I think it was
I think it was called iZombie, maybe?
I need to go back to my wallet because that wallet also got hacked one time.
I didn't have access to that anymore.
But yeah, it was pretty fun.
That community was my first NFT community that I joined.
Yeah, man, it was pretty awesome
to just see how my journey from there started.
And it's kind of slowly worked my way
to joining all the communities.
I joined, I got a cat gang as well.
I did so much art for that community too.
So I think they were like my second Web3 community
that I really enjoy creating so much art.
I personally, from my point of view, I always see like potential in so many IPs.
Like how much art can I create from one IP that would look so cool?
So yeah, I did that with Gutter.
From there, I just, I guess I just kind of lost track on how many communities i was
drawing for and um short story i end up you know drawing my way to my first um mutant back uh from
last i think it was last year i think i got one uh close to my birthday it was a pretty fun um
yeah it's uh it's it feels like it's been forever and I know it's only been like a couple years but I think in web 3 feels like whatever when you're here
full-time like I do this full time since I can remember to be honest you know
yeah it's a fun tournament man this is so cool and we hosted so many people that
actually started create started creating derivatives of other people's apes and mutants,
and they actually made it to buy their own ape after that,
or they really started something from that,
maybe bought or rented a studio and stuff like that.
So it was a very special time back in the day.
Yeah, it really was, man.
After, you know, I was doing drawing for all the communities i did
some drawings with uh that fellas uh for fun too uh um then uh i don't know there was something
just about vorapes that i really love just the ip itself is just amazing like i in my head i'd see
so much like potential for so much so many things it's just, it's just, your imagination is just,
just let it run wild with the apes.
And that's what I love about it.
And you also work with the board closets, right?
Like half of the stuff you guys, you know,
use as your overlays and poses,
half of the stuff is coming from me and from another artist, Freed, and also amazing artists that works at Port Closet. Yeah.
drop it's like art drop right so no no utility you collect art and maybe the art is uh is a low
list for the for the next drop right we've seen that many times before but but you decided to go
for for more like utility drop art pass that you actually will do some work for the holders
so could you could you share with us how you thought about about this drop and what the utility is and how the mint is going?
Couple years ago, well, maybe just a year ago
So I wanted to apply for you know for a grant because you know
I wanted to I'm still gonna support and I can draw so much art for like the community any community and
You know, of course, you know,
it didn't, uh, it didn't get approved, you know, which cool, you know, I was a little
bummed out. And, uh, but, um, I was, you know, I told myself, you know, seeing Alou doing
his Alou Pass can inspire me to do my own theme, but with the art, you know, I'm already
drawing like every day now. It's something like a challenge that I set myself for this
year is to just do a daily drawing no
matter what you know any style or just just have fun with it you know um so when I saw Al you know
dropping his alipads you know I told myself let me do something but you know with utilities you
know this is the type of utilities you can get you know like any kind of design like I've done
that so many times for so many communities already and um yeah i was like
you know let me do anything they want to create you know like logos banners so i've done custom
pfp for a couple friends as well um i've done some flyers and things like that for some apes
as well for like they have some kind of events which is pretty cool
um some people just some some some friends just want art to decorate their home or their office you know that's all the good things that i love doing um yeah i just you know it's um it's one
of those things where you just um you have a one of my art passes you can just uh request any type
of art you want you know for it doesn't have to be
for your nfc you know it doesn't have to be for your ip it could be anything like i i've heard
i've actually heard stories with some of my friends you know i've done some art apparently
for their kids too which is kind of cool so it's you know it could be for anybody it doesn't have
for your ip exactly you know it could just be anything you can think of like i've been drawing
since i was a kid so i'm always ready for for the challenge so anything you throw at me i'll be happy
to draw it which is uh pretty exciting man uh and the ment right now it's going pretty you know
pretty slow but it's fine you know i'm i'm happy how it's going like i most of the men's are are being
done by like close friends which is awesome because i if you i'm gonna feel very comfortable
working with people that i already know and i know the type of stuff they like which is
making it more exciting to work with them and uh but yeah like right now we're like 128 out of the 333.
Mentis, we're just gonna go.
Tino, could you mint the link and the tweet for that guy?
So if you guys need any work
or if you just want to support,
we always try to support here the real G's, real people here. So Tino will
pin up the tweet so you can check it out. You can mint by yourself if you want it
because I'm really excited. I need to redo my banner and I think I read that
there are so many options but if you own the pass you can use like three of them,
right? Is that correct? Yeah, yeah yeah it's just sort of limits
you know i can have some time for uh to draw for everybody you know at the same time i don't want
to overwhelm myself too much you know so yeah yeah like just um out of all the utilities doesn't have
to be you know like you know well i'm offering like you know all kinds of stuff uh logos pet
portraits okay just anything, to be honest,
just whatever you can think of is just throw it at me. I'll be excited to draw it for you.
Um, but yeah, like, um, yesterday, uh, all it was, uh, so cool. He like built like this
mechanism where I can redeem the path. So it helps me keep track of how many passes
have been used. And, um, yeah, it's just, I Yeah, I think this week I'll start taking some designs that people need for me to draw.
And from there we'll go and start drawing and start having some fun.
So what are the mechanics, TJ, for the people who would be interested?
So you mint and then what is happening afterwards?
So the way that Allo put it together for me is
I pretty much just type the token ID of your MedPass.
And once you know, you're happy with the art and everything,
you know, you're like, all right, this I love it.
You know, of course, in I'll just add the token ID and redeem the past and it'll change the metadata to the trait we say used pretty much.
And you can still sell the new ones, you know.
I just hope, you know, we're a bunch of, you know, DJs over here.
So we always make sure you read if you decide to buy one secondary it'll say used
everything ends out and you buy secondary
make sure you read that it says used
dope I love the idea i think if you have 333 passes and everyone can claim three things man
it's it's like a thousand so it's not it's not gonna be easy you know that's the things like
uh that's why i'm excited like most of my friends who are, the people I'm in here are like good friends of mine that I know of.
So I'm not, they know that I, you know,
it takes time to create something great.
And I always tell like some of my artist friends as well,
because sometimes they get overwhelmed
by drawing different things.
I'm like, hey, you know, it's okay.
You know, you can't rush, you know, something great.
If you want something, you know something done really well for you.
I'm sure people will understand that you can't rush creativity if you want something really cool.
Otherwise, it won't come out the way you want it.
If you have somebody on your neck, you're like, okay, can I get it this quick and that?
i'm excited um um most of the people that i'm meeting right now are really close friends of
mine or people that i've talked to i got to know throughout the years you know um they already
know the type of style i like to do and uh yeah it's uh i'm ready for it you know it's a challenge
and um like i say you know i'm always up for the challenge so yeah so
this week I'll I'll be making a post you know and see how we can start with
everything and I'm excited to create for everybody
that's great man I'm checking your profile the art is great I love it I
can't wait to to refresh my banner and to do some other
other work because yeah my banner is very old to be honest. It's very old. I
don't know when I got it but yeah I think it's time for the refresh. So we
also have DevAlo here. DevAlo is going for that F1 Monaco experience, so I'm a little bit worried about him.
I hope that Apechain intern is going too and will take care of him because, you know, DevAlo can be wild.
He's an awesome dude, man, that is for sure. I'm very grateful, you know, for him because
without him I wouldn't have like my own personal main page I really love it it's pretty awesome like we kept it like very retro which is my style and he's just
been awesome helping me out
love to hear that love to hear that I also see Machiavelli joining us here on
stage so Machiavelli welcome here do you have any questions?
The blows like a 12 game shotty! You feel me?
Yo, hey, uh, yo, hey TMTM, Grateful Show, Tino, Grateful, thanks for having me up, shoutout TJ the creator.
Yo, did I hear that right? We can claim three pieces of art per pass?
Yo, I thought it was one.
I know I'm going to grab me another one here shortly.
Shout out to everybody supporting.
You know what I'm saying?
Can't wait to get started on some art, man.
When I heard that, I was like, yo, I could tell a whole story with that many pieces of art. You know what I'm saying? I can't wait to get started on some art man. I just I when I heard that I was like yo
I could tell a whole story with that many pieces of art. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yo appreciate the clarity
Yeah, no problem, man. I'm excited you can't wait to see what you got for me man, you know, I guess I always up for the challenge
My cover I think if you buy all of the available available ones
I think you can make the whole NFT collection out of that.
And TJ be like, holy shit, that was a bad idea.
You know, since I was a kid, you know, when I fell in love with art, I just died from there.
I think I knew this is what I wanted to do.
I also tattoo once in a while, like whenever I had a chance, IRL.
So it's just art has always been in my life.
And yeah, I'm excited to see what everybody has for me to crazy ideas.
Do you have any plans also for people that use their pass after that for the future?
That haven't gone that far in my head, but right now I just want to create and see what
happens after that when all the passes have been used.
I know for sure I'm going to be pretty busy for a minute
As long as I have my coffee next to me,
I think I'll be okay, I think.
Yeah, I really like this idea
that you basically sell the service through the NFT
and you deliver some utility, right?
So it's easy to understand.
It's not, it's 100, what's the price actually?
130 or something like that?
So it's like, I don't know, like $90 or I don't, I don't even know how much is it in dollars.
So even maybe more, right?
So I think the value is there.
art, man, because it's amazing
what I saw on your timeline.
So guys, if you are looking
for, you know, if you want custom
piece or if you want to upgrade your
I see ApeChain Hub here, you know,
guys, you could tweak it out
a bit. Maybe you could get a few passes
to improve it. I don't know.
Yeah, TJ, you know, you need to shut your shut.
So, I think this is great.
And you support TJ, which is awesome.
Yeah, thank you, man. I think
ApeCoin has some of my art as well.
The Etern, which I'm very grateful.
They have some of my one-on-ones as well.
I'm very grateful for that, to have such amazing support from the intern.
Thank you so much for that.
I love it, man. Also, for all the Orange Background apes, I think those will be the best customers for you
because you can improve their ape so much
just by changing the background.
So yeah, that's going to be,
maybe I can help you as an intern.
I know how to remove background
and replace it with aquamarine one.
Anything else that you would like to share
with the people that haven't bought your pass and that are maybe thinking, you know, you know, where
you use the funds if there's something specific. I don't know if you want to
share, but if there's something specific that you want to use it or because I
think this is great way how to support artists, right? so if you want to share it if not it's 100 okay but well i you know
i want to also you know support other communities you know i do have some maybe even me as an artist
as well i love supporting our artists i know there's some artists on ht that are creating
some cool stuff so i do plan on you know grabbing some nfts from my favorite people
and some favorite communities as well it's just you know it's just the right thing to do you know
like every community came together to support pain so i'm gonna do my thing and then you know
give back to the community and just support each other you know that's what makes the
eight chains you know the way it just makes it fun and just that we support each other that way there's no uh who's
doing something you know who's better than anybody well you know equal and i love that you know we're
all supporting no matter what you know and uh i just love being like being an artist in ape chain
you know creating for everybody and uh yeah i'm excited and i'll be you know collecting some NFTs from my favorite communities
and support the artists as well where can we start you said uh that Alo is working on a new
website where can we when can we start claiming actually the the the art or the you know the
you can start this week he already finished it it for me yesterday. I was excited when I
found out that he finished it for me. So yeah, I'll start this week. I want to make sure that
everything is working smoothly, you know, so there's no problems and all I have to worry about
is the art. But yeah, hopefully this week. I'm aiming for this week for sure. That's what I
want to do. You know, I'm already doing daily drawings for myself, so why not start this week as well? Yeah.
Let's go. Tino, do you have any more questions for TJ?
No, I enjoyed it. I'm really happy when I see artists basically offering their hustle
and also giving back to the artists and artists giving back to the community.
Wishing you all the best luck with the Mint.
I pinned it on the top, guys.
So have a look if you're interested, if this sounded like something that you could be using.
And yeah, all the best, man.
I'm happy and thank you for
having me and yeah it's ready and excited to create for everybody thank
you epic man absolutely love it good luck the art is great oh my god I can't
wait really I'm I'm damn I can't wait for my for my new banner I'm really
hyped for that I'm thinking Tino't wait for my for my new banner. I'm really hyped for that
I'm thinking Tino about something like my a bit of microphone. I don't know. I have to figure it out
This one is too obvious. Maybe
Yeah, you should check out the Board gets that I did a banner for that
Pretty cool. You can have an idea
Those MF first man board aazette, I think they are first
on that leaderboard, right? Or they are
great. Also, he's doing a great
job with bringing all the news from the
So, big shout out to Kyle. Big shout out
They are also running spaces with
Law, I think. I'm not 100% sure, but
it's usually 10 pm on CET time zone, so big shout out to them. Guys, if you are not on Wallchain,
we are all quacking there about Apechain. Yeah, Bored board deep gaza is um let me refresh
hmm it's still refreshing interesting maybe they don't want to show me but what i saw before the
refresh board if gaza it was first so uh they are killing it on ape chain if you are not on wall
chain go there you don't need any invite i think if you just write apes as a code,
it will let you in and you can start quacking.
So someone from ApeChain mentioned there might be an airdrop, right?
So there might be an airdrop.
you made me I was offline
for two weeks most of the days
reminder from my personal
bugging me always like have you done it yet
have you done it yet oh have you
registered yet and after a fifth time I did and i'm there i uh i'm not doing that good i guess uh as you are but
i'm getting there i'll just repeat ape chain ape coin ape ape ape for a few times and i'll be
quacking much more hell yeah by the way the way, that Bored Ip Gazette banner
something like that. Also,
and Mutant in the background.
awesome. So great job, TJ.
Oh my God. Damn damn if you can do
banners like that damn it's insane
we i really hope we're not gonna come with some crazy idea and it's not going to take you like uh
too much time to create it because i know you will have a lot of work. Yeah, I love it man. Yeah, shout out to you
Thank you so much man. Yeah, I'm excited for it and yeah
Guys also there there is a news there there are the news right now that
Ethereum co-founder Jeffrey just sent
262 million of ETH to Kraken.
Like you don't need to have that much money on a centralized exchange.
So yeah, that's going to be something crazy.
But I'm happy with ApeCoin.
Tino, what's your price target, non-financial
advice for the end of... Somebody should tell him that RelayLink works better for
bridging to ApeChain. Yeah, he doesn't have to use Kraken for that, right? Yeah, I don't
know what he's thinking. Yeah, I don't know. We should hit the all-time high, I'm sure. We should.
Damn, if that's gonna happen, that would be really crazy. So yeah, guys, check definitely,
check the Ape Chain Banana Bill transparency report. I'll do that just after the spaces.
There were also a few sales last week. We saw that Punk, that Zombie Punk sold for over 1 million. Just recently,
Now Media, which is really cool. They call themselves NFT Now and they renamed to Now Media.
So we see the trend that people are removing the word NFT or crypto from their name. Also,
word NFT or crypto from their name. Also, I listened to one space and they said that
if you use crypto as a word, your content has lower reach or something Google doesn't like it
or something like that. So that's interesting. And when you use Web3 Word instead, it's not affected by that.
if you haven't revealed your Player Zero MiBit specs,
I really wish that we get also some pack like that for apes
with wearables for other side.
You know, with some cool stuff, maybe you made by, by i don't know but it would be really dope to uh to do that
okay guys i think do you have anything else that you would like to share Tino or that we didn't
mention I think we had a great episode again with amazing guests passionate guests that's what we
love maybe Makavelli I'll ask you anything that you are really excited right now in the space
Machiavelli is probably also in Vegas.
Apechain hub is basically infecting people with not speaking.
Now even Machiavelli is quiet.
I don't know what's happening.
Yeah, we have also Cheetah Cowboys who are quickly bringing up here.
And yeah, what a great Tuesday, man.
I can't believe Chimpers minted three years ago.
It's such a crazy journey.
Cheetah Cowboy, welcome here. How are you doing?
Yeehaw! Good morning, everybody.
Grateful. I just wanted to come up and say thank you for your support.
The entire planet, which is my photography collection, sold out yesterday.
Today, we are having a reveal party. You're going to get to see what you minted, so stop by.
Reveal is at 420 PST, so Cali time, 7 p.m. We'll have a space opening up on the East Coast.
So we'd love to see you there.
Lots of my collectors and supporters in here.
So thank you guys so much for minting and supporting.
I think we need more photography on Ape Chain.
I think Tino had one of the first photography collections on Ape Chain. Tino,
were you the first one? I think so. Yeah, probably. Yeah, I'm not a photographer,
but it was a photography collection. Oh, what's it called, Tino? It's called Infitorum Street
Memories, and it's basically 555 Polaroids of stickers of my of my mutant all over the world dude that's
amazing I gotta check that out that's great I'll come in and and talk about it in my space later
I'm gonna pin it out so guys have a look I'm gonna have have a look myself and that's always... I'm always happy to see
different kind of... you know, Alos ArtPath, now what we heard about TJ, he was actually inspired
by that. Now we see many many artists releasing their stuff, the photography and I really love
that. I think the more of the stuff and the more of the different kind of art and
artworks and different kind of mechanics we get, I think the better the whole space will be. So,
perfect. Yeah, I would love to also see more art on Apechain, guys. So, if you are an artist and
or like a photographer or whatever you do, mint on Apechain.
We want to buy it, I would say.
So when I saw that you are minting the entire planet,
I was like, yeah, I need that.
So I mint it and can't wait for the reveal.
Maybe can you share a little bit
what kind of photos we can get
or how did you put this collection together?
Yeah, sure. I just want to say first I just minted my first in Futurum these are sweet but yeah getting back to my collection these are like 230 of the
favorite my favorite photos that I've taken over the last 20 years or so I
have been fortunate to travel all over the world, 65 countries,
a lot of it by myself. I've also walked ocean to ocean across America by myself, took seven months
on foot just on the side of roads and highways. So a lot of the photos are from that journey as
well. I did that for charity back in 2015. And then a lot of photos
are like from music festivals that I've shot, concerts. Yeah, there's some celebrities in the
collection. And yeah, I think it's a very colorful collection. They're going to look great printed
out or framed. I'm giving away some framed prints and some Bored Ape merch and some free NFTs in the space.
We'll also be talking about each NFT that you revealed, each photo that you revealed and the story behind it.
Why did you pick Ape Chain instead of, I don't know, Zora or something like that?
Yeah, because I've been a Bored Ape since day two of, I don't know, Zora or something like that? Yeah, because I've been a bored ape since day two of launch.
When ApeChain launched, I was here at the beginning.
And yeah, I don't really mess around on any other chains.
Love to hear that. Guys, check the
pin tweet. You can learn more
Thank you so much for stopping by. Cheetah Cowboy.
Good luck with the reveal. I can't wait
to see what I got. Man, if I get
Steve Aoki, I don't know. Maybe I floor it i got man if i get steve aukey i don't know
maybe i i floor it and i get another one because or maybe not i don't know i'm actually having like
an exchange program too if you're not happy with your photo i held back a bunch um so we could just
do like a trade for the ones in the creator wallet or something we'll figure it out i'm happy for
whatever i get man i'm happy for whatever i get, man. I'm happy for whatever I get out. Just kidding.
When he gets back, I think
we'll know that we are on the right track to
the space later. Maybe. He might show up.
That's dope. You know him?
Met him a handful of times but yeah I'm
close friends with some some DJs that he plays with and yeah you never know
who's gonna show up. Holy smoke sounds good sounds good. It used to be the top
signal in most cases in 2021 by the way I just I just bought one number 55 which
I like and I'm hoping to get
I would love to have Steve
out. Hey okay that would be funny.
But I like the idea that you can actually exchange
the NFT. I think that's pretty
dope. I don't think I've heard that.
That's cool. I love that. Dude you're our first secondary
sale so thank you. There's only three listed
Hopefully more people list them and during reveal,
we can trade them a little bit, but that's a good thing.
I think they incorporate the Ape Chain.
Of course, they will incorporate it into other side,
but if you will be able to...
I think it's possible in the Nifty Island that you can use your NFTs in frames
in whatever you build there
so I can imagine if I have art
on Ape Chain so I can display
it on my other deed, that would be really cool
it during the Ape Fest, right, that we have
so if you can put frames on the wall
there and we can have the art and memories,
And everything on Ape Chain.
Guys, thank you so much, Ida Cowboy,
for sharing your past, guys.
Definitely check those out.
on Ape Chain 100 100 so it's really
dope to have you here and we also have tequila on ape chain which is also cool we also have gin
beer water oh my god tino final words that you would like to share go ahead bro yeah i just want
to give shout out to all the legends down there in the audience.
We really appreciate your support, guys.

You keep being here with us no matter what.

So before we clap our hands.
And I had an idea, guys, because I'm not doxxeded so maybe I will go as Elvis Presley there.
So what do you think Tino? Is that a good idea? I don't know.
Might be cool right? I think it's the best idea ever. I would love to see you as Elvis.
I would love that. You just made my day. Let's clip our hands. Clip your hands. I'm retired. I'm not what?
The birds of father and son and the sister of the earth in the middle of the universe.
That wild is his first coming six-shot rehearsals.
The freestyle musical ironically sucks beneath the screens controlled by the bees.
All the shit I'm seeing. And guys don't forget you can bet on NBA overnight there's there's a game of course Minnesota versus OKC. I already bet. You can also on Clutch Markets in ApeCoin.
I probably lose all my ApeCoin there,
So go check it out and see you on Thursday.
Thank you so much for the support.
