You got to plant all your seeds
You can't use it for your meditation
You don't need doctor for your medication
Just plant the seed on the patient
Foundation, plantation, you can use it for your meditation
You don't need doctor for your medication
Just to plant a seed on the patient
Don't you really be where you want it with them?
Don't you feel guilty when you cut the tree? I know what make you india me Broke the record for planting trees
Give me trees, give me melody Love the nature and forestry
I know what make you slow me down And I know what make you dull me now
Follow me to a fruitful ground
Everybody let us grow We plant our seed
We plant our seed We plant our seed Let's grow, ladies and gentlemen.
If you're not growing, I don't know why you're here.
Max engaged in the bottom right.
We are one week from Tree GE, baby.
Build on chain and grow. We can a sense grow. From Tree GE, baby! by building and changing, getting users and bought in your way. One at the station and that's a campaign,
you'll be 10 at the stations, now that's in the bay.
Shout out to the builders and never gave up,
I said Jimmy and the team, you'll never win that last, bro.
We all come and make it, yeah, the deal we grow.
You're gonna even use it, no, we gotta think it's really unchanging.
You'll find no tricks and I'll put a call,
Do you country look like you are part of the workforce?
Let's grow, build on chain and grow, we genesis and grow, build the people like you plant the trees and grow, do a three and grow, make you impact known, the size of change don't
happen by itself, it's grown.
Societal change don't happen by itself, we grow in it. We grow in it. Let's freaking
grow ladies and gentlemen. Gentlemen. All right. Make sure you are max engaging in the
bottom right. We have one last tree gen song that's coming in. This is from one of our tree plant is in Tanzania
All right, all right, man
Most people in the case... Let's grow!
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Just excited to see where we all grow.
Yeah, where are we growing to next?
Let's grow. Okay, where are we growing to next? Let's grow.
Okay, we got some big updates.
We got some things that are happening.
Just gonna retweet this here.
I'm gonna pin this post here.
Everyone, let's get the word out.
Tag a friend in the comments.
has already tagged four people in the comments. Amazing the comments. Shout out to Arewa Queen has already tagged four people in the comments.
Amazing human being. Shout out
to you. Shout out to Song of Home. Type in
Let's Grow. Will Tree Gen type in Let's
Okay, we're going to get growing
on a couple different things here
including a video broadcast.
get this growing in just a sec.
So lots of things are growing on in the TreeGenverse.
Some challenges, some obstacles, some opportunities that we're overcoming as a DAO, as a community.
Different things are happening.
And I want to fill you guys in on everything.
And also, we got some winners to announce for the meme competition.
I don't know if y'all heard about this, but there's been a meme battle.
Some of these are subjective.
And I would love my panelists Will TGN
if you could also like examine this
because like some of this is kind of objective
you know like the funniest
which ones make you laugh
I was literally thinking that earlier today
I was like for the winners I wonder who gets the most funniest
because everybody's sense of humor is different.
But, you know, if it genuinely makes you laugh,
I feel like a bunch of them for this purpose,
some people are, you know, it kind of feels a little forced, right?
And it's like, okay, I get you.
But some are, like, genuinely funny.
One of Carol TGN made one that has just stuck in my mind.
It's of the True Gen putting on clown makeup.
Okay. All right that one. Okay.
with the red. And Will is not a good judge
for evaluation right now because
Will needs to focus on the road
so he doesn't get in an accident.
We don't want any dead tree gens on our hands that would just be
no there's a lot of you know there's a lot of crazy drivers here in colorado
i love it when out-of-towners like try to mispronounce our state's name but
anyways yeah back to you coloragro okay didn't somebody make that a word
coloragro yeah that's official grow cab right there that is official grow cab yes there's the
oh no that's a different one language language coloragro coloragro
you guys are officially a cult now
you make your own language
that's been interesting because not only are we...
Are you going through a tunnel or something?
I parked in the parking lot.
No, it's a double round pongo because Colorado is a green state in more ways than one.
Yeah, I was there when they legalized it and everybody started smoking weed on the streets.
I was in Vancouver when I went from illegal to medical to fully legal. It was like an 80,000-person Cypress Hill 420 festival.
It was like a cloud just erupted across the entire city.
I liked that in Montreal, too,
because I was there when it happened in Montreal.
There was like 10,000 of us smoking weed in Parc de Montréal.
That is wild. 10,000 of us smoking weed in Parc de Montréal. That is wild.
It was more than 10,000 people.
Like, literally, you'd be like two, three blocks away, and there was just a huge cloud of smoke, and all you could smell was weed.
You'd get on the train, and everybody was freaked.
we're experimenting with different times.
I wanted to make sure that y'all would be up.
I know sometimes it's super late for Song of Om, but right now is kind of a weird
like Europe's not really awake yet.
going to do more of these. We're going to do more of these.
I haven't been as consistent with these spaces as I would like to be.
There has been a lot going on, growing on.
But from this – tomorrow morning I'm headed to Ethiopia
and from this Sunday I will be there on the ground
and, yeah, I will be doing my best to consistently document the journey
of everything that is happening
as we try to plant more trees than ever before in history.
And just less than one week's time is when everything will kick off.
So yeah, okay, I'm about to start this live stream,
and then we'll get this show officially on zero.
So let me just type this in here.
TGN, one, week, two, three, GE.
The live stream is starting.
Welcome, Joshua. Welcome, StillMovin. Welcome, Wiltib3, welcome ArevoQueen, welcome Joshua, welcome Stillmovin,
welcome Wilti, welcome Song of
Let's grow. We are one week
GE, from when we launched the
of the regenerative future that we're
trying to usher in and ultimately
create a world where anyone can plant trees and earn a living.
It is going to be a journey between today
and when we ultimately accomplish this vision.
I hope we all appreciate that it is going to be a lot
and a lot of things are going to come together.
And one thing that you can know is that I will not give up. And so
long as I'm breathing, I will continuously strive to break more world records and do everything that
we possibly can and to create opportunities and green jobs for people around the world
to wake up in the morning, plant trees and put food on their tables and send their kids to school.
This is the future that I want to live in. This is the future that I think a lot of tree gens
want to live in. And if you want to live in this future, this is the DAO for you. So let's freaking grow.
I just want us all to kind of take in like what I've been in discussions with officials of the Ethiopian government, right?
And that is to track using the proof of tree protocol, which involves before and after videos of every single tree.
only store thousands of terabytes of data, but also to onboard millions and millions of people
to use this technology before the big day for this to be the tracking tool that is used. And
I've had many, you know, meetings, and some of you would have seen my Telegram stories,
some of the meetings that I've had where people have been very supportive of using this technology.
But 48 hours ago, I got a message from Dr. Adafiris, and there were some concerns as to
whether or not the technology could be used by everyone, whether or not it could be fully adopted,
right? Because they have to track everything and announce the number of trees that day. And even if they're using multiple tracking mechanisms, if there's a discrepancy
there and the delays in there. So look, ultimately, it turns out it's not going to be likely that the
proof of tree protocol will be used to track all 1 billion trees or the amount that we're going to be planting on July 31st,
we are still going to be tracking trees on the day.
And what we're now going for is, and we're always going for this,
but what we're now focusing on and accentuating is the Growlympics.
So what is the Growlympics? The Growlympics is competitive tree planting,
where we are trying to put the tree planters up on the pedestal to celebrate them and to make this fun, to make this a sport. I've had a conversation with the head of sustainability of the Olympics who loved the idea. He's not the final decision maker, but he loves the idea of trying to make this an official Olympic sport. I also have the ear to the advisor of Beast Philanthropy. So what we're trying to do is a pilot, a pilot of several different things, right? First of all, is the proof of tree protocol is being launched on this big day, right? And this is going to be used not just in Ethiopia,
but in different places around the world. And we're going to have competitions, not just for
the tree planting, but also who can verify the most trees on the day is going to have a cash prize.
So if you can get around mangroves or whatever trees you want to plant, you'll be able to film before and after within the application.
And then what we're doing is using that data to train our AI on all the different tree species such that by next year, this will be the tracking technology for the official Guinness World Record, right? For that to
become the reality when we go to set a billion tree plus next year, we need the AI to be trained
for all the various types of trees. And so today is the proof of concept. First of all, for the
proof of tree protocol, right? To be used for all these different things to gather the data for it
to not only track mangroves, but all these other trees. Number two, the proof of concept for the Growlympics, right?
So the Growlympics is competitive tree planting.
Imagine a thousand people in a field, right?
And the holes are pre-dug.
And so we can have two massive teams of 500 each.
Okay, this is what I'm envisioning,
what I'm going directly to Ethiopia over the next few days to, to, to organize exactly, to make this happen. And so the, you know, 500 versus 500,
whoever plants the most trees in a certain amount of time, you know, moves on to the next phase,
right? 500 people eliminated the next phase, kind of like, you know, uh, beast games, you know,
how old these fun games, different ways to do it. And then the finale, you know,
imagine everyone in a line, right. And there are these lines and the trees,
the spacing is the same. And then whoever can get to the end of the line and plant those trees first
and like, you know, drone shots and different ways that we can gamify this and make this really fun.
This is what we're really going to be focusing on because ultimately, how can we support
Ethiopia and the world to reach this goal of a billion trees.
Well, in actual fact, it's the latter.
That is what is more motivating, right?
Is to make this a fun game, to have rewards, to have incentives, to have prizes,
and to celebrate the planters, right? And to track a billion trees and store thousands of terabytes is a pretty significant cost. And we're speaking with sponsors for the service and all the
rest of it, but long term, that cost would be there. And it would have been an insane launch
distress test. Like literally, we're talking millions and millions of users required to do
So we're piloting it, the technology on the 31st.
It's not going to be tracking the billion trees.
And at first when I got this news, guys, to be clear, I was devastated.
I had been told several times that this is what's happening and I thought, and this is what I was so I you know had been told several times this is what's
happening and I thought and this is what I was so focused on doing however in
hindsight having given this a bit of time of reflection and talking this out
with amazing advisors and different people in the community this is a much
more important thing to focus on and and people clearly wouldn't have been 100% ready to verify a billion
trees on day one. So let's slow this down just to kind of look at it in this frame. Like,
you expected to be doing something more on this day than you're going to have the chance to do
right at this moment. That's the first thing. That's a letdown in terms of your expectation,
right? In terms of tracking, that is the case. Okay. All right. But thing. That's a letdown in terms of your expectation. In terms of tracking,
that is the case. Okay. All right. But to do something as a movement, remember, this is bigger than Jimmy. This is also even bigger than Tree Gens, right? This is a movement that Tree Gens
is sparking and bringing together and supporting to make history by getting more trees planted in
a single day than ever before. And actually, that is the primary goal, right?
Beyond is there a technology used to track a billion trees on day one, right?
And so, yeah, it was a bit of a, I let down that that's not going to be the case.
However, we are still going to be using it and tracking it and using that as incentive
And that is directly going to be supporting the goal so that i'm seeing a lot of silver linings here and by putting extra
focus not just on ethiopia but on all of our partner countries right and again we've had to
change the date twice because of the focus here but yes please continue i'm with daniel by the
way daniel of impact launchpad an incredible yes this is daniel i'm with daniel by the way. Daniel of Impact Launchpad, an incredible advisor and supporter in a billion ways.
I'm with Daniel IRL in Vancouver.
We're hanging out literally in my bedroom at a standing desk looking out all over all Vancouver.
It's a fantastic location.
You guys are really late there, yeah?
Say again? It's like 10.20.
Daniel was like pretty tired. I'm'm like daniel we're doing the
live stream come on wake up i don't know i don't know what he's talking about
he is awake but so daniel you need to send me your wallet address you haven't done that yet
for polygons oh yeah you won the nft thank you for reminding me
i will message you right after we're done and you'll show me how to get that uh thank you so
much so much look i just want to i just want to say like everybody here can react when when when
i ask you like isn't q me the greatest and isn't he pretty hard on himself to to get himself to do what he does? Right.
Look, for you, when you had this expectation of doing what you were going to do on that day and it isn't exactly that you looked at it as a letdown.
Right. In fact, it's not just the goal of the billion trees.
It's the ripple effect of going after the
goal is what created this community, right? And if you now do it on a platform between now and
next year at this time, and you use the model of what you set in motion right here on this very
trip of Ethiopia, document it really well, and everybody here in this community can scale it up it isn't about the goal of the
of the record it's about the community behavior of everybody wanting to plant trees with you
that's what you're leading it's not it's not i mean it's cool that you you get that goal too but
now everybody can be involved everybody listening right now everybody buying token telling telling
people about the community are all contributing to a billion trees being planted in a day yeah
between now and next year so i i'm not i don't i mean it can sort of sound like putting a positive
spin on it but only for you because everybody is already in a positive spin about you in this
community not about that particular goal of what it means to you, which is part of why you're able to lead this,
that it does mean that much to you.
And it's important to zoom out and to see what's really important.
And what's really important is that our movement and our community thrives long term and does do these different things.
And what's really important is that we optimize and we maximize positive impact
and regeneration around the world. And whether if it's our proof of tree tech that's verifying
the billion trees, or if it's another method, and we are supporting through gamification and growlympics
and other things whatever maximizes impact is is the most important and actually this growlympics
concept has two insanely impactful opportunities between now and the next massive world record attempt.
And those two massive opportunities are,
A, we will be able to present this to Mr. Beast and team, Beast Philanthropy, we'll see what we do next Thursday.
Number two, decision makers evaluating what will be the next official Olympic sport will see what we do next Thursday.
And nailing that, having a little bit of extra focus on that is going to send those ripple effects, as you said.
And so I'm really pumped for it.
We've got five people on our team coming,
actually six. There are six people on our team in Ethiopia coming from different parts
of the world. Really exciting. And I'm super grateful for all of that support. People have
come and asked me how they can be a part of this and join it and support in various different
ways. And I'm incredibly grateful and I'm excited to get on the grounds and I'm excited to see
the joy and pure elation when these prizes are won. Guys, one of the most fulfilling things
that I have ever done in my life was the first competitive. It wasn't even tree planting. It was propagule
collection. Propagule is the things that you plant in the ground. I had to get 30,000 of them in like
a day. And because I wanted to do my own Guinness World Record on Earth Day. And so what I did is I had some extra sponsorship money and we had about $3,000 worth of prizes.
And people collected and we had referees and they went all out. The people we asked about what they were going to do with the money and people were talking about sending their kids to school and starting a new regenerative business, you know, and and and like, you know, fishing and getting a canoe and doing these different things, repairing a part of their home.
these are the people that I deeply, deeply care about. It's the people who are protecting and
stewarding our forests and regenerating them because they genuinely want to, not just because
it's their job yet. I love these people. And it was deeply fulfilling on a social level. What is
the social impact of what we're able to do when we do this? And by documenting this and creating really cool content, we will attract
greater funding in future. I mean, look, I'm pushing for Mr. Beast. The man has given out
a million dollars lost to take the hand off the pile of cash, right? Beast Games ended up being
10 million. Spoiler alert if you haven't watched Beast Games yet. They doubled it from $5 to $10 million.
The next Beast Games is starting at $10 million.
You imagine how motivated people will be knowing that if you train like crazy between now and
the next Grolympics, there could be a million dollars on the line.
I mean, once that is announced and knowing that there could be a million dollars on the line i mean once that is announced and knowing
that there could be a prize pool that could grow and grow and grow every year how hard will you
train as a tree gen to perfect the sport of tree planting and we can make it very competitive we
can make it a sport we can make it really fun and engaging and just awe-inspiring content with the right media talent who will
And so that's a major update.
This is a little bit of a pivot of focus, but I've had a little bit of time to reflect
now, and I genuinely do think that this is the most impactful thing that we can do.
It's important that this thing grows steadily.
And what's important is that we get this thing live.
And it's working well without a hitch.
And getting millions of users on day one.
Like, I don't know if you guys do this, but Instagram crashed when they launched and had too many users.
You know, it's a pretty common thing.
And they're venture-backed.
You know, they had crazy engineers working on it.
To get millions of users on day one and verify everything
is an insane responsibility,
which would have been all-consuming,
which would have led to the Grolympics to knock on them,
the TLC, and the love that it deserves.
And it has a massive amount of potential.
So just so you guys know, this is predominantly what I'm focused on, but we will be getting the proof of tree dApp live. People will
be able to plant mangroves and earn. My goal is to get mGrow live on the 31st as well, not just TGN.
That's the goal. All right. There's a few things that need to happen.
I have a soft commit from Cello to bootstrap some liquidity for it.
But until the funds are in the bank, it is not 100.
And this is something that I am also growing through is to like, look, I hear things multiple times and people give me their word and I share it.
And that ends up becoming my word.
And from now on, I'm just going to give like a lot, a lot of like caveats and just say, this is what I heard.
But this is what we still need to do because it's important and people need full context.
And so that's what's going to happen. But, uh,
but yeah, this is, this is going to be an incredible day. I will try to live stream
part of it for you guys. Um, but the content we produce is going to be a one and it's going to
inspire a lot. It's going to inspire a lot of, uh, a lot of impact, you know? Whether if it's our future Growlympics competitions,
they're going to grow and grow with more and more sponsors.
Or if it's people like Mr. Beast, or if it's the actual Olympics implement.
Guys, they did breakdancing.
They've done all kinds of things which are less of a sport
less of a sport than what tree planting could become.
than what tree planting could become.
And we, as the tree gent,
will ensure that it does become a sport,
a competitive act that is teamwork and celebration.
And we want to make the tree ponters
the next rock stars of this generation.
Will Tree Gen has been very patient with his hand.
Grow ahead, Will Tree Gen.
You are audible, good sir.
Just want to make sure because I'm driving, so I've got to do a quick audio check.
I've got a few things to unpack here, but kind of just emphasizing your point, right?
For those of us who study human behavior, we recognize there's two things
that human beings strive on. One is incentivization, and two is being rewarded for their participation.
Now, don't think badly of me, but I did have an observation I wanted to share, and I'm probably going to make Song of Om laugh, which is not very difficult to do in most cases.
But you understand proof of tree planting protocol, if you put an acronym to it, it's POTP.
I just want to point that out.
I just wanted to point that out.
Proof of tree planting protocol.
Why not just pot, though?
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
You knew it would happen.
I was laughing at the whole thing.
We're in middle school right now laughing at pee pee.
I think pot is a cool name regardless.
Thank you, Will Tree Gen.
Thank you for your valuable insights and contributions.
Thank you. I'm just joking. I'm just joking.
I mean, that is the point of all this, right?
It's incentivizing people to do good for the world
and it's rewarding them for their participation.
So as long as those two boxes are tech,
I think you've accomplished a lot from my perspective.
It is about the ripple of the behavior that comes off of this whole thing.
It's wonderful to have those goals.
It's wonderful to have those records. It really is.
It's an organizing rallying cry. It's mission oriented. It's fantastic.
And you know what? It's going to
be all the sweeter. I frankly think that, the more I've gotten to know about what's going on,
that with another year of development, when it comes to the organization of the validation,
verification of this amazing goal, everybody in the community gets to be a part of that and more on tree gen's terms
frankly than than on connecting to everything going on in various countries right now you know
it's it's uh look you're gonna have cop 30 grow olympics you're gonna have in the rearview mirror
you're gonna have some mr beast like things if not him others right it model for, like, if it doesn't qualify for Mr. Beast,
it does for somebody else that's in that swimming pool.
That's right, that's right, yeah.
So I think, like, now when you are, and your association with us
and other people that are on the SAP and everything,
that are now part of a community helping promote you,
you're able to get the word out to countries and individual groups of individuals
NGOs all over the world to join you for next year on Earth Day and now it's really all branded as
the tree gents thing to me as a pure project guy or world environment day but pure pure as a pure
project development guy to me that's much more you controlling the sandbox than what you have up to now.
So I think it actually – honestly, guys, I'm not trying to just be positive.
I think it works better this way.
Okay, we got some memes to evaluate.
We got some beautiful memes.
Okay, how are we going to evaluate these guys?
Okay, so there are three categories.
I already voted on the funniest.
I, like, commented under it.
I don't know if that helps.
This was your vote, was it?
I made a vote under Mr. Jari's thing.
It's the video with Mr. Bean.
With Mr. Bean. That's your vote, is it?
If there's any that are cooking or chef inspired
If they're what inspired?
Or like home chef inspired
is there one or are you just randomly saying that no i i don't know i'm just
what are the chances that it just happens to be i'm i am what i am passionate about cooking
i'm passionate about being a home chef i just ran a recent giveaway
about that for free cooking classes for life so you know all right good to know bro let me keep
that in mind let me hope that there are some cooking memes um okay so we have three categories. Okay, two are objective.
I've got to pull this up.
Okay, the subjective one. Most comments, most creative, and most funny.
So only one is objective.
There was two. I like this animation, animation actually i personally think this is very creative yeah i do like uh just put it up there i mean they
used our banner they used our handles they used our telegram they used our is anyone seeing this
well yeah i just put it to the top okay so top so far on the left. I think that's very creative
It's a it's a full-on animation with aetherium creating
Tree gents by the way the final day of our pre-sale is the 10th anniversary of aetherium
Pretty cool. The 30th of July is the 10th anniversary of Ethereum. And then the day after is the day that we attempt to get a billion trees planted.
And we do our first full-on Growlympic.
And it's the day that we launch our tokens, which is very exciting.
Personally, I'm leaning towards this one for creativity, but I'm open to other suggestions.
There's one where a girl drew.
That's got to be the creativity one.
That takes a lot of work to do that by hand.
She nailed it. Yeah, we gotta give it to her.
nowadays, who knows how hard that is.
I don't know. I don't know.
But the chalk... We're going back
to the original. Did you make it
by hand? If you can film film it i think that's where
like the value is going to be in the future okay so chalk wins the most creative
it was a very nice artwork and a nice video of it as well we should find that for people
we got it somewhere on the timeline i'm trying to put it right now and put it at the top. Okay.
So let's look, let's look, let's look.
Man, a lot of people were making,
you also like video ones too, hey?
Okay, so this next one's objective, okay?
A lot of y'all just made it a post in the thread.
Like, you're not going to get as many comments as if you actually post it on your own timeline.
But, yeah, a lot of these literally got no comments.
Like, bro, you got some likes.
But, hmm, which one got the most comments?
Yeah, this chick got 1, a thousand views that's pretty amazing um but only which ones that's the chalk the chart got a thousand views um okay okay okay um most comments
let's see here most engagement that's It's actually smart, not chalk.
Okay, it doesn't count if it's on our page.
I think she drew a sketch, but she filled it all in.
I'm looking at 10 comments here.
We're going to check their profiles, see if they've been bought.
I bet someone probably grinded for some comments.
But, you know, as long as they're real people, I'm back.
Okay, let me put this one up here.
Let's verify. Okay, Vicky's
This one is two memes, actually.
and then I'd like to give you a
great opportunity and then boom.
it. Alright, let's see if anyone got more than 10. That's boom. Oh, I like it.
Let's see if anyone got more than 10 points. That's got my vote too.
The memes we post on our page get a lot more, but obviously we're not going to win it.
So this one might have won the most comments.
All y'all had to do was GM and that probably would have won that one.
Okay, so this is looking like it's won.
This is looking like it won the most comments.
Wow, there were a lot in this thread.
Oh, wait. Hang on. there were a lot in this thread oh wait hang on I went through them and I felt like some of them
were very violent like they were very peaceful tree loving like read the body whoa wait this
guy made a handmade table I didn't it looks like it was made out of bamboo. Broke hard to bamboo table mat.
I feel like that's quite creative.
That was my other choice for creative.
Oh, wow. Bamboo situation. Look look at that look at that okay yeah we got well okay uh oh there we go we got the it's a nice
that's from the famous meme okay all. All right. All right. This is better.
We have a lot of entries.
Which ones actually made you laugh?
The ones that I posted to the top genuinely made me laugh.
trees are out here regenerating the world and then it's waiting for the government to take climate change seriously
and it shows a skeleton of a dead tree gen.
Meanwhile, tree gens are out here regenerating the world
waiting for the government to take climate change seriously. Meanwhile, Tree Gens are out here regenerating the world,
waiting for the government to take climate change seriously.
That's pretty good, isn't it?
I didn't crack up, but Carol laughed.
Carol laughed. I mean, sorry.
Song of Ome laughs. Yeah, sorry. Song of Ohm laughs.
The other one I posted that's at the top it's a video meme.
Mr. Jari. I don't know why it's funny. I just like this metallic. I don't know if it's even cool, but Vitalik's got some leaves. A little TGN.
TGN. He has a pair of one.
This is kind of promotional.
It's not getting the most funny.
I just want to be smart, rich, and successful.
See, a lot of stuff is just promoting TGN, which I like, obviously.
But the category was the funniest and then most creative.
Young, old TGN investor got all that nice.
I ain't laughing, though.
I received $111 you received a meme
yeah I don't know it's not
I don't know if I'd classify that as a meme
necessarily I guess videos
don't shoot me I'm retarded prove it
I skipped TGN for rug pull
it's definitely not politically correct
I don't know if I'm allowed to admit
okay they put two memes in this one post so we can okay okay
they put two memes in this one
we can all just pretend that's the one we laughed
and then that's kind of funny
most funny okay trejan's meme song is this that song I don't know. This one, potential. Most funny. Okay.
There's a lot of people that made videos.
He actually made a song about us, bro.
We have a fifth song about TreeGen's.
You're going to have to post it to the garden.
This one got a good amount of engagement, too.
20 followers, 16 followers, 5 followers.
Yeah, I don't know if this guy's
a small amount of followers, you're dealing
How many alts you got, bro?
Okay, but we're not even looking at comments.
We're looking at potential for most creative.
I thought we were doing the one for the funniest.
I thought maybe we already voted for them.
It counted, but this is the first time seeing this.
So we're still voting on creative and funny.
Until we go through them all.
I've tried to go through them, but I feel like I missed one.
No, I think creative is going to stick to the creative.
TGN, Veteran Traders. TGN Holder.
Yo, we got content for months.
I was like, it's interesting to see that there's so, I remember the first meme contest, and Carol and I were the only ones that entered it.
Yeah, you remember the good old days?
Yo, let me call Tree Jin right now. Is he awake? Wait, what time?
It's in Australia, yeah? That's where he's at?
Yeah, Australia's awake, right? Yeah, he's awake.
I'm calling Trey Jen, and I'm going to be like, yo, you have to fulfill this.
Yeah, he offered that for the Mean Coin competition prize.
Song of Om laughed a lot.
This is not rigged. We are very objective here.
Straight up, this guy's name before he discovered Tree Gens was Tree Gin, D-J-I-N-N.
There's another project called Oxygen, D-J-I-N-N, and he just put Tree in there,
and then I told him about Tree Gens, and he matched Made in Heaven.
He's the one who designed all of our beautiful characters.
I'm excited for our characters to go live.
It's going to be beautiful.
Okay, he's not picking up.
Alright, we're evaluating.
I ain't laughing, though.
Elon Musk chucking it out of the
If I give you $100 worth of TGM, what do you do?
This is kind of creative.
We have a lot of entries.
I'm just going through these
and miss out on the next 100x RWA
whoa this guy got 25 comments
he might have won the most
TGN is the ticker that's a real account
okay this guy's shilling for real
that deserves something i think yeah i think that's the most yeah most comments these are
these are real profiles thousands of followers these blue check marks commenting dang okay
okay this guy won most comments this guy won most comments. This guy won most comments.
Congratulations, Corby the King.
He's only got 69 followers, yet he got the most comments.
Are you sure he only has 69 followers?
Well, I just followed him, so yeah.
TreeGens was the 69th follower of this, I just followed him. So, yeah. Now he's got 70. TreeGens was the 69th follower of this guy.
That sounds like on brand for you, Jimmy.
I'm pretty sure that he's getting the winner.
Show probable spam. I don't know if he's getting the winner. Yeah, okay, am I at the end now? Okay. Show probable spam.
I don't know if we want to consider those.
Damn, there's a lot of entries that are in the show probable spam section.
Huh, that means they've been...
So which one actually made you laugh?
Was it just Carol's that made you laugh?
Huh? Was Carol's the only one that made you laugh? Was it just Carol's that made you laugh? Huh?
Was Carol's the only one that made you laugh?
Carol's was the only one that I really genuinely laughed at, yes.
when I immediately saw it
The creative, the creative ones that's where i had like the most there's a lot of there's a lot of options for the creativity
i love it oh the other one that genuinely made me laugh was I posted it to the
I think it's because I grew up watching
Mr. Bean, maybe that's why.
Wait, where's the Mr. Bean one? I haven't seen
to the top. You have to scroll back through the garden.
Oh, yeah, I love Mr. Bean.
Besides that, other than arrows,
I wasn't finding any of them that funny.
A lot of it seems a little forced But
Okay the Mr. Bean one is kind of funny
It's a bit informative as well.
I don't know how we're going to decide this, guys.
So we know the most comments.
We know the most creative.
The last one is the funniest.
Who is going to win that?
It's either Mr. Bean or it's Carol's one.
Somzi, what do you think is the funniest entry?
We also have the non-politically correct entry, which I'm ashamed to have Googled.
Hey, what's up, something?
We're trying to decide on the funniest entry.
I don't know, but let me go through.
Yeah, anything in the garden make you laugh, like genuinely?
No, I think your co-host's laughter anyway.
I found myself laughing with her.
If the song of them was a meme,
We laughed more at song of those laughter. That's a walking meme. we left more
Tom Z I sent you a follow
I'm glad that I can get you laughing
Yeah. Like, you know, are there Gen Zs in your, like, in communities?
Are there more of younger people, older people? I want to ask a question.
Our demographic is, I think, between 20 to 30 is the highest category.
Maybe it was 20 to 40 is the highest category.
I've got to check that again.
But yeah, it's like, I wouldn't say that young.
I mean, obviously there's a big range,
but the biggest demographic I think is in that 20 to 40,
Okay, that's your younger people anyway.
So this plant or trees we are doing here it does it in any way like
represents a reward in parts or yeah my question tree planting what else would
it be okay then yeah so that means like whatever we are doing here in the real
world we actually trying to change climate yes absolutely
well okay yeah I'm from Nigeria okay African so I'm wondering how does it's
going to like how how will you benefit from this how will what benefit from
this yeah how will he would help our own climate because you know yeah which Yeah, well, which part of Nigeria are you in?
Eastern part, I'm not sure.
Well, we are, okay, so here's what we're doing.
We're launching two forms of tree tokenization.
One is a liquid token, specifically for mangroves now Nigeria
has more mangrove trees than any other African country but they are by the
coast so I not on the east side I guess unless you're southeast now the other
side of what we're doing is anyone can plant any tree, turn that into an NFT, and then people can buy that NFT using the TGN token, creating a buy pressure for TGN token.
And then 95% of that TGN token will go to the planters on the ground.
So basically, the tokenization of mangroves,
which is a fungible token.
So we're tokenizing mangroves,
and we're also creating a catalog
for retroactive rewards for any type of tree.
By the way, it's because of this billion tree goal
and the fact that multiple people
working for the Ethiopian government told
us that we will be verifying a billion trees or however many we can get planted on the day
that we had to think in terms of scale which has a lot of benefits to it right like well yeah what
are we going to do with all this so like yeah we can't tokenize every tree because you need um you
know in terms of a fungible token because because A, you need a excellent methodology for every
type of tree. B, we need, you know, if it's a liquid token, we need to make sure that the
price can remain steady, right? If we have a billion on day one, you know, what is the value
going to be? We want it to be a significant reward as we bootstrap that liquidity. So
we're tokenizing the mangrove tree in terms of a fungible token. Literally the only way to create that token is by planting mangrove trees,
filming before in our app, then filming after in our app.
After you do that, 95% of the tree tokens will go directly to you planting on the ground,
and 5% will go to the TGN token holders who are verifying that you planted correctly.
So there's always multiple verifiers.
And when you stake our TGN token, you're not just earning more of the same token.
You're also earning these ecological credits, right?
These tree tokens, which we're going to be backing with blue carbon forward revenue as we do large-scale carbon projects in future.
So that's the first thing is we're tokenizing mangroves.
But you can plant any tree wherever you are, film before and after,
and that will become a minted NFT for anyone who wants to retroactively reward you.
So the difference here, with the mangroves, you can get paid instantly, right?
As soon as it's verified within 24 hours, you get your liquid tokens, which you can sell and buy whatever you need to buy.
For other types of trees, if you're not in a mangrove area, you can still film before and after.
And that will live on a landing page that we're going to build out with a nice user interface of the globe so
that people can buy that as an nft in the form of tgn token which will create a buy pressure for
the tgn token 95 of the tgn token will go to the planters and five percent to the verifiers um and
then this will uh yeah and then what do you do with the TGN? Again,
that's a liquid token. You can sell it or you can become an active DAO member. You can become
a verifier. You can earn more TGN by staking and earn MGRO by staking and verifying these
different things. So this is another buy mechanism, another buy pressure that we're adding to the TGN token.
So that's a long-winded answer of how can you benefit, is you can plant trees and you can get paid.
Now, another way, I mean, that's what I meant to say, in a lot more of a concise way.
But there are many, many ways that you can benefit within this ecosystem as you grow this ecosystem.
We're going to be launching a social five platform.
We have a dev shop that is building a social five platform that rewards you as you promote our DAO, as you promote our movement.
The funds will be streamed out to you every single second.
So you will see your points automatically get updated,
and then the flow rates of the reward,
which will go up every single second streamed out to your wallet,
there was a wrap-on-wrap feature with Superfluid,
being very motivating, that's automatically updated at midnight UTC.
So that's another way that you can benefit just through social media.
And then, of course, you run other things.
Look, today we just did a meme competition.
We're giving out $111 to three different people, 333 in total.
We have a Zeely contest, right?
All of this ends at TreeGE, by the way, right?
Our Zeely contest with $1,050 in rewards.
There's a bunch of things you guys can do to get points on the Zeely contest, right?
We have an invite competition.
If you invite someone to our Telegram, t.me.treegenfem, you will go up the leaderboard.
The leaderboard is shared every single day.
All you got to do is ask Dadapod, our community manager, and he will get you an invite code,
That's another $1,050 we're giving out.
Okay. So that's another way. That's another $1,050 we're giving out. Okay.
So that's another way you can benefit.
We're also going to be doing our own quadratic funding round.
This is where people can donate to you as a TreeGen citizen
for supporting our movement,
and we will match those donations using the quadratic funding formula.
By the way, QF formula, co-authored by Vitalik Buterin,
it has two main variables, number of donors and the amounts that they donate.
The number of donors is by far more of a variable in the quadratic funding formula.
It's weighted heavily, such that 1,000 people giving $1 gets way more matching than one person giving $1,000, for example, right?
The reason we're here is because of quadratic funding.
We were voted first place three times in the Gitcoin grant platform, and we'll be running our own quadratic funding rounds with the TGN token.
That's another way that you can benefit.
And by the way, this is beyond planting.
This is beyond promoting. This is for literally anything that you could possibly think of to add
value, whether that's building a new feature for us, whether that's making an introduction,
whether that's applying for a grant we're eligible for, whether that's doing anything that adds value,
you document that on your own grant page and I will be personally donating to the people adding value,
so will other people in our community, and that will get matched.
We're giving 5% for this type of stuff, which is very significant as we move towards.
My goal is to make this a top 100 token.
I understand that's a big, hairy, audacious goal
when there are millions, maybe even tens of millions of tokens now. But that is my goal,
and that is something that I'm going to be striving for, and that's something that we all
need to work very hard to accomplish. And so if you want to join us on that journey,
if you delve into our tokenomics in the updates channel of our telegram, we are heavily incentivizing the people who make this happen, right? We're not giving
tokens to VCs at this point. We are trying to fundraise for a carbon project that's a different
initiative. Right now, we are growth hacking this and aligning these tokens such that it is for the people who make it happen at the end of the day, right?
So, yeah, that's a – yeah, I think we've outlined about 10 different ways that we want to reward the community because it's ultimately going to come down to each and every one of you.
Then it's a success, right?
Jimmy's going to work all hours of the day to do whatever I possibly can to make this
But it is going to take a lot more than Jimmy, right?
This is an organization that is literally trying to change the world.
And it takes people like you.
It takes people like all y'all listening in the spaces and the video broadcasts to make
So if you haven't joined the DAO yet, T.M.
Wait, now I'm saying the Telegram handle.
You're watching the video stream.
You can send literally any token that's bridgeable on base arbitrum cello ethereum matic
all those different chains you just go to metamask you type in those six letters dgn.eth
send you just got in at the ground level and if you're putting in 200 at least value by the way
the value will be calculated on Ethereum's birthday.
So if it goes up and you only have $150 and you make it a $200, you will get two free
One of them, I'm pretty confident on this, and we have $100 bounty if someone can correct
The most innovative NFT ever made.
So $100 bounty if anyone can correct me on this.
But first of all all it's the
most dynamic it visually levels up in three different ways trees funded trees planted and
TGM staked all visually level up the NFT and they're going to come alive as AI agents that
can post on social media that can mimic KOLs that can grow our movement and since it's connected to
social five you're literally getting paid while you sleep as this AI agent is growing the movement and posting online for you and for our organization.
You get that NFT for free if you put in 200 in the presale. If you don't have 200,
you could get a few friends together, put it in together, and you'll get it.
Number two, you get a .TGN wallet address. We're ge giving this out. You can use this in the
platform. It's another NFT
and it's a cool little thing that we're
giving out. So that's for the first
500 people who put in 200
and there aren't that many of those left.
Stay tuned for announcements
around Phase 3. But Phase 2 day we move towards phase three stay tuned for announcements around phase three um but phase two
has those two nfts you will not get both those two nfts in phase three so get it growing if you
haven't uh joined to that level and you know a few friends you can each put in a bit make sure
you do it together put in 201 shot and you'll get those nTs for free. There's only a thousand of those NFTs ever created.
It's small supply and I'm pretty confident it's the most innovative ever.
If anyone has one that's more innovative, you tell me and you get $100.
That's the bounty that we've been promoting.
So there's 1,000 of the wallet NFTs.
Is that what you're saying?
No, it's 100. Oh, no, sorry.
agents, the ones that level up
it's like each name is only a one of one, if that makes sense.
But they won't always be free. So that's the thing is like, these will be chargeable,
just like how ENS domains are chargeable. Granted, they're not quite as intuitive ENS
domains where they work with every wallet just by typing it in.
It's on this specific platform, but they're expanding it out.
So it's a little bit different to ENS domains.
But it is an NFT, and it does allow – and agents, AI agents, can use these TGN wallet addresses to send money around.
wallet addresses to send money around so if you're rocking a dot tgn on your username here on x
i can simply tell an ai agent to send you tgn because you did something cool that day
like planted some tree or helped someone in the community or did something nice for someone
that is going to be happening and that is the utility of the dot tgn wallet addresses
of the .tgn wallet addresses.
the amount of those you're giving away,
did the amount of those change?
well, it was always the first 500
to put in $200, get one for free.
And then we also plan to give some away to a few influencers
and then also to community members such that the total supply was $1,000.
I've always said the total supply is 1,000 of those,
but we're giving the first 500 away for free to the people who buy in.
So we had a few people who were committed to, like, promoting this around our launch,
Some people have hundreds of thousands of followers
who are committed to this.
And so, yeah, this is going to launch soon
with some folks who will get one for promoting that.
And hopefully that'll end up growing the demand
for these assets as well.
So a few are earmarked for that.
And then also we're going to be giving them away in various ways.
Yeah, the plan was to give them away and for it to be an NFT that people earn, such that we can always reward people who are doing exceptional things in the community.
And being one of the first 500 to put in 200 is exceptional.
It shows your commitment to
the dow and that's why you're getting two of those nfts um but uh but yeah so stay tuned for that
more on that soon okay we're gonna get timo on here about the dot tgn as well as harshal from uh
xaid that has built the AI agent platform for KOL.
Mimicking, it can make memes, you know, we'll join spaces.
And, you know, as we move towards this AGI, ASI future,
these agents are going to become more and more influential and will not only earn new funds and grow our movement,
but I think really shift a lot of people's mindset around positive impact and green pill people, right?
It's very important that the next phase of where this AI technology is going is regenerative.
We will be looking to sustainable servers, for example. We will be trying to leverage this technology that is shaping the course of
humanity and the face of the earth in a good direction, right? We want to usher in a
regenisance where AI is capitalized and it's another creative. The next renaissance is
inevitable. We want to make sure it's regenerative and it's not by leaning away and being scared of using
technologies that we're going to do that. It's by leaning in and leveraging them for good as
much as possible and empowering others to leverage these technologies for good as much as possible.
So that's what's up. Make sure that you onboard the friends the friends right we all got to work for the bags and grow the
movement and um you know if all of us between now and monday has onboarded a tree gen we will be
off to the races and this is how we grow right this is how to grow exponentially is by
onboarding and even if it's like someone who's out i know like some of them you're onboarding. And even if it's like someone who's out. I know like some of them you're onboarding people who aren't necessarily even in Web3, right?
And sometimes this is even better than people who are full-blown degen and don't care about anything but making money, right?
It's like, you know, and some of those people can be converted too, by the way.
And I've converted a lot of DGENs into REGENs and then TREGENs.
And I've converted a lot of degens into regens and then tregens.
But sometimes it's the REGENs who aren't into the tech yet but have an open mind who are also a great person to onboard.
And so let's all do our best.
Again, it's up to all of you guys that we'll make or break this.
I will obviously do everything that I possibly can so long as I breathe.
But it's going to take all of us, right?
And so let's freaking grow.
Does anyone have any burning questions before we conclude?
We will be doing a lot more spaces.
I'm going to try to, yeah, do this very consistently.
I will do one on Sunday and then start of next week as well.
I'll try to document the process
of what happens in Ethiopia
as we go to build the first ever Growlympics,
the full-on competitive tree planting,
and use this as a proof of concept
of our regenerative future on this planet.
So thank you all for being here.
Thank you for your support.
I love you all very much.
And until next time, friends, keep doing what you love.
Keep spreading love and making impact.
