Start standing. Five, four, three, two, one, go.
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everyone. Welcome to the aforementioned episode two. Episode one went so well they've decided to give us a second crack which we we much really appreciate. Rob the sound guy is here with us again. He believes that everything will go well this time too so
Let's hope everything's going well. It's been a very slow news day actually in Web3. Not much has really happened. Running through some of the stories that have happened though. Pujy Penguins, their toys. $500,000.
sold on Amazon. Which is crazy, right? Like just a small Web 3 brand, you know, walked out by Luca last year and they've, you know, they're just crushing it, man. Absolutely crushing it. NFTT lists are back. If you don't know what they are,
people just rank NFTs on a list and get heaps of engagement because people who have got bag buys just decide and come in and you know so that what they've got's better so that's another thing that's happening. The jelly rascals trip on our older on top on stage
That's beginning soon the whales or heading over to Bali. So you know utility let's fucking go. Also got another interesting thing a little bit different the gizmo cassette which is a what would you call it run down of like
All the announcements from your favorite Salana projects will be going through that today Starting off, let's retweet that space down the bottom right in corner There is a bubble click it retweet let everyone know that we're happening nine nine o'clock Australian Eastern That's the time we start every day Sunday to Thursday
We've also got another little innovation that I've thought of. This might not work, it may work, who knows. We're going to do a listener question of the day. And what that is is that
I want anyone who's listening to write a question on the on the spaces. And if I pick your question at the end of the space, we'll go through it in like last five, 10 minutes, just to pick a question there. If I pick your question,
I'm going to be doing that daily, every day. 0.5 sold to the listener question of the day. Get creative, get funny. I want some real content out of this. I'm going to milk it for all it's worth to.
Shout out to Gamble's Casino as well, partnering us. Absolutely love them. Fastest growing casino in the world. Routing players molded anyway. Anywhere on the interwebs. Shout out to them guys.
man, absolutely awesome. Hope Carlos has having fun in Bali. I see that he's trying to go push his wife into the ocean or something. So good luck to him. Nifty, my friend. What's happening, dude? Yeah, yeah mate, how are you?
Good man, good, just wish I was bored and complained of Barley to be honest. Yeah, the FOMO is strong already. Like I've been in Barley with Carlos before. And yeah, I think I shot my late early. Should have waited and gone now, but I had to
be there then. But yeah, I'm also going to the UK at the end of June. So I've got about 100 Macic and I need to make that into about $5,000 in Australian dollars. So I don't know if you can help with that. Well, man, I think the big thing, I mean,
I mean, looking at today's polygon volume, Frank went a bit crazy on the timeline. He decided that he wanted to go to polygon and go shopping with his $30, bought one of every project I believe. For what I can see, drill club seems to be the one that's performing the best out of this.
other than that obviously gambles dude I think you should have like a hundred of them to be honest but other than that that's about my polygon knowledge right there yeah I've got six gambles and two drill clubs but I don't know if it's worth just like buying something like buying a hundred something the Frank Buyers for a dollar yeah no
the chat to get a jump in on that and all of a sudden it's $100 and you've got a hundred of them you've done all right that could be the the new offer. I know man I honestly yeah as said polygons not my strong suit I'm trying to learn I'm trying to be like chain agnostic where I can
like literally go to any chain and like know a bit about it, but like I tried with a therler in the didn't go well, tried with polygon as well, like bought a few gambles, I've got bros, though, I think the other the other one that I've got and I just I get bored. I'm like this is just boring. Like there's no tools there. Like
like soul sniper and stuff, there's nothing like that. You sit in pretty much just sit there, buy one thing, go, okay, that's done. Move on. I know running man's a big polygon fan, but yeah, I don't know. It's just at the moment, it's just not for me. But speaking of buying hundreds of things, how do I do? How come in from the airport man? How are you going down there?#
I'm just walking through the gate now so I'm meant to be fighting in the part of about 45 minutes. I think Nifty understands as well because I've been fortunate enough to spend some time
I'm a Carlos and the jelly guys in Bali and I think some of these whales don't really understand the good time that they're in for. It really is something special so I feel quite fortunate to get the experience again.
100% man, 100% and so you went to the first one, did you go to the first one there? Ah, yes, I was nice. I'm glad to go. It was pretty like notice, Carlos put it out there. We're going to have an event at the beach club, some of Sevilla from memory and little
I think it was international DJ there. I'm not a big DJ follow myself. But hardwell I think from memory, I think it's big from the UK. This place is packed out. I'm going to be at my P table, like pretty much like right at the front, right in front of the dance. I guess area wasn't my stand there, but it's just packed, like the whole pool club was packed out.
It was such a great night. The best part was just to meet all these quality people who were being involved. I was just meeting people and just sort of building those relationships and building
I think that's the main thing. I mean that's the most important thing I'm looking forward to. I think there's probably people in the project that don't have a higher profile, better quality people. So I'm just looking forward to meet them. There might not be as active on discordant things, but I'm sure that I just know that they're really high quality people and I can't wait to
that time and get to know them better you know hopefully we can bring out some of the quality that we've got a bit more I think it's just really going to strengthen obviously everyone knows I've been being a fairly guy so yeah I'm going to fall to it that's the shore yeah now 100%
100% you say you're a big jelly guy do you have you still got all your jelly like do you still hold all your jelly or do you just like I think I guess it was some wild back roast up putting my own money into any season things and I
I kind of wet it up right now. I've got these assets and I've got this jelly. And I'm kind of like, okay, which assets are the priority? You know, so if I want to get access to money to buy something or sold or buy something, which are those? Yeah, I don't know if these assets are like, and my kind of thinking was, well, look.
From the staking I'm going to be able to create more jellies. So that should be something that I would get rid of before or sell before selling rascals or something else. I've always been very pro jelly but more recently I have been stacking it because I just think the price is a bit too low.
But yeah, before I had it, it just might depend. If I'm good for soil or whatever, I'm not. But then maybe if I'm short or if I need it, then I would have a look and sell some. But definitely nothing like crazy. You know, sort of trying to be responsible, not like trying to crash the floor.
I'm not surprised at jelly or anything like that but just as it's required, you know, a little bit here and there. No, 100% man, I understand. And thank you for being a, what would you call it? A responsible whale and not dumping on our heads. We really do appreciate, dude.
All of us, Rascal Holders, definitely do appreciate that. I think Gelly is like super undervalued, right? Like just at the moment, and we're talking about it last night on the show as well. Gelly just seems so undervalued, especially with all the stuff coming with gambles and things like that. Like, yeah, it's just crazy how undervalued it is.
compared to where it was all time highs and sort of like that you know with the integration of the gambles and all that sort of stuff man it's just crazy not to be not to be stacking jelly I think at the moment and I think we'll talk about that last night as well what are your thoughts on that Nifty? I think that there's going to be some kind of use for Jenny within the project that's been underscored.
So you know how whenever there's a, you need to spend dust, buy you to change your debt, or whatever, right? Anything like that that's like a project specific thing, price just goes up. I wouldn't be surprised if something's going to happen with
that, this integrated with burning dogs and burning infected rascals. That's just going to be another draw at the same time as the the gambles integration and the gambles profit start going in. I think when the spike comes, it'll happen quite quickly and
quite hard, but yeah, when? I mean, the boy, Carlos, it's not going to be this week, I can guarantee you, I don't think anything's going to happen this week. I think he's just going to be like too busy drinking some mahiitos and, you know, living it up, but it's a good point
Talking about utility and this sort of thing obviously I said at the top of the show Pudgey Penguins release their toy line right Is a toys utility like what what we define I hear this word all the time right and this is sort of one of the conversations I want to have a real good chat about is what do you see utility as?
is it gaining like a token, do you get, you know, is it getting a free trip to Bali? Is it, you know, what is it? Because everyone has their own definition of what utility is. And it's just a buzzword thrown around in Web 3 right now. I really want to know what your thoughts on what actually YouTube
For me, right, I think the best way in with the norm is the kids. Right, there's a lot of people that have got young kids and if they can do NFT stuff with their kids, then you've just got, you know, your next million exit liquidity right there, you know,
Everybody loves kids. Everyone's got kids and kids like dinosaurs dinosaur and Ft like it's just a no brainer, right? So I think like the toys the budget penguin thing that's just brilliant But from utility everybody just wants to win Right and if you can have an NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN#
F2 as your PFP that everybody knows is winning. That's the utility. And I think that can be done in many different ways. Just as long as your average person is going to look at that and go, yeah, that's a win. And I think ultimately, like we're buying pictures
So we can put them on our Twitter profile and show our friends we've got a $100,000 rate. To the extent that if it gets drained we'll just buy it back. So we don't have to change our PFP obviously not you and I but then. So yeah, that's, I don't think the actual utility matters to me.
I just need the floor price to go up, also in passive income to come out. So that's kind of what I'm looking for. And the community. Yeah, definitely community. It's underrated how much community is it utility? But it works if you win.
Right. I mean, community is stronger when you're winning, right? Like if the floor price is like one, like the community is nowhere near as strong as if it's at 50. It's it's it's community is built by everyone winning together and having a common goal. And once people like lose faith in that goal,
community is no more and it takes a really strong core right I feel like community is a core probably 10 to 15 members who hold it together and the other ones just like off-shoot and if you as long as you got that really strong core and I think this is where D-gods like you know you can talk about like the top 10 you know
like your patty ises and like Aussie NFT guy and the guys who built that community from the scratch, those are the ones you need early. If you don't get them early, that's where you see all the prejudice of the time right, they have all these influx of people that run talk about community within a month, not a single person's left. They've all sold and gone, moved on to the next project.
You need the real true believers like jelly's have with you know wolf. Al dora yourself like these people that you see all the time they wrap the end the pfp they they are there every day. Those are the ones you need to start it to build that core and then you you off shoot from there Jackson what's happening man. Not too much man how you going.
Not too bad for a, what is it Monday night? How did a long day at work? Yeah, I do. I GM every all day every day. If you don't GM on Twitter 15 times a day, you're losing followers and that's a hack right there. Just GM 15 times a day. Massive engagement.
My man gets it. My man gets it. Even though I just got shadow band again for the GMs, but we'll put that drama aside. On the on the point of Pudgy Penguins, I don't necessarily think it's about utility, but I think it's about proof of work in a
situation like this, especially if you're looking at things like the value of their intellectual property and the brand they've built, you want to go over to things like Instagram, you know, I think I've done a really great job there. And I'm not sure if I necessarily agree with the
the point of playing with toys in your kids. As much as I'm an advocate for Web 2 onboarding, I don't think it does start at the age of four. But I think when it comes to the bull market, you're going to be looking at those evidence of proof of work and proof of ownership and people are going to look at things like what Pudgy have done.
I think the big thing, I own one FT, it's got a cleaner source, my daughter picked that for me. Like legit, like I said, "Alright darling, come over here, sit on Daddy's knee, let's have a look and see what Clayna you like." Pick which one you want, and she legit picked like the dearest one on the screen because that's just what females do, it's just breaded into them from birth,#
the shelf. And then I was showing you the Pudgy Penguin toys. Now they were either unavailable for Australia or they were already sold out, but I couldn't get one. But she really wanted one with like the hat with the, you know, the, like an Eskimo hat sort of thing. She really liked that one. But Daddy couldn't get that one for unfortunately because they're
sold out thanks Luca. So yeah, like it just I think McDonald's talking about web 2 brands and like brands in general. McDonald's did a really good job as well, right? You think of the happy meal. It came out targeted kids advertised for kids and that's how McDonald's won like the fast food war, right? Hungry Jackson all that a follow it on since.
but McDonald's was the innovator. I used to be able to have your birthday party there. You had a playground there. Kids wanted to go to McDonald's and the parents just had to deal with it at the end of the day. So, you know, I think Pudges, in terms of, you know, a general brand, I think they are leading the race in terms of our brand for everyone.
for kids for web 2, I think they're leading the charge there. I don't see another project doing it any better at the moment. You know, there are good brands don't get me wrong, but no one is as far into it as what they are. And in such a short time, I think Luke only bought it last year. So in terms of a year time frame, he's done awesome with that.
So yeah, I think I agree with you on that and what makes their brands so special is that they have a really distinctive brand turned that they've they've managed to convey really successfully. And it's it's available not even available it's engaging to so many audiences and I think when you look at the things like the toys it's really aligned with what they've built
No, definitely, definitely. Shady, how you going, men? I see you, you've come up here, how's the Shady? Well, it's good for me. I'm just rolling it right now, but I'm doing good. Just preparing for the day. Seeing what I can men see, what shit coins are pumping.
Yeah, man, I'm gonna good day just rolling up so I'll be a few seconds. Hope you good though. No, take it. Take it time and take your time. I will never ever interrupt you of rolling up there, man. Need you at your peak performance, peak male performance right there.
Now, I do see that Carlos is actually in the listener panel. I did try to bring up. He doesn't want to. I assume he's very, very happy at the moment, wherever he is. But, nifty man, anything catch your eye in the last 24 hours? Have you seen anything on the timeline? Have you seen anything on Magikaden? What's happening?
not, not desperately that I'm kind of keen to buy. The one thing that I did here was some potential gossip that Asset Dash are going to release art.
as part of the project. So like a PFP or just like a good interest. So I think you might get like a PFP drop afterwards. There's been some kind of noise around that. I don't know if there's anything official.
Yeah, okay. When do they mint again? Ah, like the 23rd.
Yeah, okay fair enough. It's just like I'm really torn like I like I love the product to a degree, but like it's not you know, it's not perfect, but it's like where I check like my bag most of the time.
You know, like it's handy, it's good, but I just don't know like for five self the utility is going to be there.
I mean, we spoke about this last night, right? Like, asset decis is a really good product. Like if you got it on your phone, it's really, really good. I just think that mint process too high. I just don't think at the current time you're going to be able to
into out for that. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't know because like with if it's a PFP-Lay project, right, you'll get 20 of them in case you get a miss-air call. You don't like there's reasons to get multiple.
And they're talking about like combo benefits of having different traits and stuff, but there's no there's no buzz or kind of clarity around it. Whereas we're most mentioned like I want to mint this one.
and you know I'll keep on pressing the mint button in case one of them is this one but I don't know I don't get that with these guys so I think I'm probably probably going to fade it. Yeah yeah good cool good cool I don't like I said yesterday I think I'm just going to blind
I think that's my play. I think I haven't got white list. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna play it on secondary and see how it goes Speaking of some Mints and things who bars box reveal did anyone reveal the box does anyone has everyone like attempted it?
I saw the guy today it looks like a long process of revealing an NFT turn up Dylan came out and said like why are we doing these reveal matters like can we just like have our NFT please why do I have to go through like three stages of things to to min something
Yeah, man. Did anyone he meant there? Did anyone open their box pretty much? No, then even buy a box. Just a lot of red flags from that not to like shit on that team, man. But there's too many way too way too many red flags.
to even purchase anything like that. And now, and I do agree with the whole main system. It's just terrible. Like people just want their NFT now. Like some type of gamified experience is good, but it has to be like a one time one time game experience, you know, like with the youths or the youths.
I mean like it was obviously Ugees fucked up a little bit but in the end their mint experience was nice you know, revealing it was really cool so yeah I don't like the fact that they're trying to go for all these like different steps and methods it just it's it's grue art you know there's nothing special about grue art
I mean, from what I can see in terms of the presentation of it all, it looks pretty good, like in terms of, you know, all the animations and things like that, from what I've seen, like they've got a lot of it blurred out and I actually haven't done it myself as I was saying, but from what I can see, the animations look
pretty good. I just don't see the reason for having it. I don't understand why you can't just get your NFT. Why do I have to have a box and then I get three parts to my box, so anyone who doesn't know pretty much what happens, you get a box, you open the box, it's got special parts, you then can
the parts to make your NFT, that's generally the gist of how it happens. So now I've got, I've got my box, right? Like if I, if I had a box, which I don't, but I've got a box and I've now opened my box and I've got three pieces, which I now can trade. I can trade all the different pieces to get what I want.
then in the future, I'm going to have to put them together and min an NFT with it. Like it just feels like you're trying to do too much with like just something that should take like five minutes. I feel like this process is so long drawn out and I was having a chat with Dylan about this today. He's like, well, let's just go back
to the way that was and the problem I've got with that is that this way does create if done correctly a second hype cycle for projects. So they get the hype of the mint right the first mint and they trade some royalties on that because now they're all PNFTs and they've all get their royalties again and then this second hype cycle
creates again where if done correctly, you know, people will be sharing on the time I look at this experience, look at this experience. Now that's all well and good if you're like one person who's done that one thing, like for example, D gods were like sort of the first to do it and then you did their like gamified one. But if every project's going to do that,
it's just creating so much hassle for everyone. There was some projects I think in the last month who actually just instantly revealed it was so refreshing to just get my NFT and see what I got instantly and go okay that's a flaw I'm gonna just floor it like it's just a comment and I'm gonna go try and find something I want because if
If you like me, you never meant mythics and you never meant legendaries. It's literally you only meant commons. So I just want to get my comedy out of the way and then move on to buying something that I actually like. But I can see why projects do it. They want to keep the hype and all this. You also find that once you've done the reveal, the full process dumps anyway.
You may as well just get out of the road like day one and move on, but they just seem like, oh, we're just going to like wait for a couple of minutes and then we're going to do it then. So yeah, I don't know. It's just this new way of doing it. Hopefully the meta changes and we get some new quick reveals again, but who knows.
I'm here in some juices. Is this Apple about just like jelly or is it anybody? You can tell your offer any offer you got to I'm happy to listen to all our for I'm here in some juices like there's the obvious plays alright like on slide you get the big boys
that are doing their thing, you see Klanow going to the licensing expo and Vegas and stuff like that. But as far as one of the littler guys that's got some good potential, play the heist. I am seeing some rumblings of people that have
spoken with the team that are close to me that might have gotten a hint at a mobile app for Play the Hice. And if they can successfully leverage that to expand their user base, it's going to get pretty cool.
I mean, as a as a as a fear to buy some myself, like play the highest is the only reason I haven't really aimed into but play the highest is I've been burned by so many games in the past at this sort of nature. And I've always just I'm just so weary of it. And especially when they had that little hiccup, I can't remember what was like the LP like got sort of half
drained or something. I can't remember exactly what happened, but there's like a hiccup they had. Yeah, someone they seem to abuse the deposit with Jerald system. And they were able to like, abuse it to the point where they took out like 150 chaos and a shell. Yeah. So that's the thing I'm really scared of, right? Like I'm just going to wake up one day and my none of that I've been accumulating for two#
in my life in. Is it just going to be gone? Like it's happened to me before I invested, like not invested, but I bought a few NFTs of like neon game and I was really, really new in the space. And it had a lot of hype and it was going to be the next wolf game and everyone was telling me how good it was. I was like, okay, sweet, I can cumulate this stuff. And then all of a#
was drained and I lost like the NFT went to zero and you know I learned my lesson then. I've since invested in and bought NFTs in like a ton of different games, Astral's being won, what was the other one I did? There was one sugar realm which had a playable demo, rug revenants you know fell off the face of the earth
like these games, like projects that I've invested in, they've just literally just gone to zero. So I played the highest game along and I'm really good friends with Boston, as you said, he's on easy space as well. And it was really happy that they minted out and they were really strong. I saw the LP thing and went, here we go again, like it's happening again. And then they've reccomend
man, I got PTSD like literally traumatized. I don't blame you. I really don't. I actually said, but it was before they were, it was before they were maintained. I had the conversation with somebody on the space. I can't remember who, but we were talking about security as far as like when you're going to have funds somewhere
available on chain that powers an LP that powers just like a basically a bank wallet a bank for a wallet, you know, if you're distributing funds to people and like the the based on example was DCF who went through several exploits early on.
Even with like if you look at like team structures and like the quality of people Developers and hackers actually hackers like on DCF's team like their top notch I don't know if any of you like no Ryan Hirsch and the people that are associated with DCF but DCF has had legitimate hacker
hackers on their team since day one and they still went through x-voids. I mean these are guys that they're just they're hackers but they're good guys you know they just don't do it. They just don't do it to stuff without a purpose unless they're stress testing it and they're really really good at what they do at
they still had exploits and I don't know exactly what the play of the heist is like dev team could system as far as like those kinds of people. But you got to have like top notch quality if you're going to be dealing with an LPN money. Otherwise, it inevitably will happen again. It's just a matter of what safeguards they have in place. So I understand the hesitancy.
Yeah. And like, I just think about people like banks get hacked, you know, these sort of play like kind of like a team that just run the FT project like, like, you know, deal with that, especially when you're dealing with that sort of amount of money, people are willing to do some extreme stuff to actually, you know, get into that and take access and take advantage.
even if it's a glitch in the game that allows them to repeat withdrawal or whatever it is, that's the one thing that scares me with games that have got LP built behind it. Not necessarily the game itself or the mechanics of the game, just that token that you're farming for months.
You could wake up one day and it could be zero, which in NFTs anything like that could happen, but it just feels like gaming. It's just that one little bit extra of a scare because you know as soon as if the LP goes the token goes your NFTs go with it and everything just crumbles right it just all pyramid crumbles so that's the
the one thing that I've got, you know, worries with the game. Other than that, I said, "Bison, awesome blog. Game looks really, really fun from what I've seen and the gameplay of it." And, yeah, good luck to the highest. I think if they do have that mobile app coming out, it could be game changing, honestly, it could be game changing. So,
Going to quickly move on. So if you look up to the top of the space here, we have Gizmo Gazette. Now Gizmo is an Australian guy who has literally every day put out a basic sample of announcements from projects in Salano. I really wanted us to give him flowers because the guy literally does this every day.
literally only has like 800 followers and still just puts out content every day. So what I'm going to do daily is I'm going to go, I've spoken to him and he's giving this permission to do this and he's going to come up some days as well and have a chat about it. Is I'm just going to run through this news made simple and it's just to give you an idea of what's happening in the ecosystem of Salinas.
So Block 9 has released the new improvements to the functionality of their BitHub. Cool. Ghost Kid DL have burnt 7.5 million Bury, which is their token, along with 5 million that they recently burned not the other day. Hoopers box reveals open, we know that. And Galactic Geckos.
God damn.
They're going to release a hoodie. Cool. That's, that's something. And they, they're 100% they're going to release a, and they've, and they've, they've named it a premium hoodie premium. I think it's, you know, a premium hoodie.
So that's the news, the simple news for today. Thank you, Gizmo. Go give Gizmo a follow. He's a legend. I'll chat with him today. He's actually a really good, a good bloke and an Australian too. So he has to be a good bloke. But yeah, we spoke about premium hoodies yesterday. I think I've done with hoodies. I like, honestly.
their hoodie like come on like please Carlos if you ever send me a hoodie man I want it on depressed and yeah that's that's what I want so I just wanted to put that out it's an interesting topic because like you know some people are like oh why people complain and but I mean for it NFT with
which is worth over $15,000. I would not expect to pay $100 and then also receive really crap, just like quality. I just don't think that's... I thought D-gods were supposed to be that designer experience, the rich man in club. I thought I was supposed to
get you know in in a NYC the package that they got why did the clothes and the materials that they got from NYC looked absolutely top tier looked like the best merch I've ever seen but then they go and drop this BTC hoodie and it's like completely ass I just don't I don't really see why they've done that it just makes their sense at all but
I don't know, I just feel like they wish they would have addressed it more in an appropriate manner and dissent. You know, sometimes that quality is the best, but I don't know. I just think the way they went about it was a bit childish, but who am I to say it is? Well, I think the thing is, and I've talked to some of the other
I didn't buy a BTC with it myself. Mainly because I didn't have a BTC God. But from the guys I've spoken to, they reckon it's awesome. Like, I don't know, everyone I've spoken to out of the Aussie camp who's got this thing shipped to them. Other than it's being creased and not being owned, literally said how good it was.
It was actually made by LA apparel, and it's actually funnily enough, the tag has actually got the people who made it on the tag and their experience and everything. So I think fashion is like a subjective thing similar to art where you're never going to get everything
correct and not everyone's going to like it. But I've seen both sides of the timeline where people have said they hate it. Other people said they really liked it. I don't know, man. It's a hoodie at the end of the day. It's a hundred bucks. I know people are like, you know, oh, it should be the best thing ever. But I mean, it's a hoodie. Right, what's happening, man?
I think the response to the BTC hoodie for D-guides might have temporarily killed any future merch drops in the next like month or two. Like people are going to be really hesitant
buy stuff like regardless of like their thoughts on that directly. That would probably definitely spook some just like projects that aren't as high up on the radar as DGuds.
Yeah, I know I mean XD gods launched their ones that was 400 bucks. So good luck to them. Nifty. Tell them it. Yeah, I was listening to Frank on spaces and yeah, he didn't seem like he wanted to address it from a quality perspective, but it did say that people
want to just to burn them and paste the video, it'd be happy to do them for refund. So strange, just like you said Nifty, just didn't go about it in the adult way at all.
I just seemed like he was like, "Oh, everyone's joking, let's all make a joke out of it." I'm like, "It is funny, I do like to see it on my timeline because it's just something to look at. I feel like we're pretty dry for content in the moment on Twitter. It's just shit-coating and it's everywhere."
I mean it was a nice little spin but I still think he should have gone about it a little bit more professional and just said you know like there is some issues I can see that. You know I'm sorry. You want to have a really high standard for your holders right.
Like if you're spending money you want good stuff Like you know as a course man. You want like you want nice bags and everything You know what I mean? It's not even just the the jumpy you want the you want the experience from the doorstep inwards, you know Like I'm I might hit a shell of a project, but you know the Fox Club and I know I know jelly rascals and collar
I know they've done some nice designer experiences as well, you know. And they think that's what matters the most is the experience. It's not like who cares if the quality is bad. It's, you know, to jump that you're probably never going to wear and you're probably going to keep it in your wardrobe because it's a nice, you know, relic for you or something like that. But the reality is like it's the experience
I've got two hoodies. I've got one from Slater Hills and one from Jelly Co. Oh, Slán Hells is good experience. They've got a really good experience. But yeah, like the Jelly one just turned up in a bag like I think the D-Gots wondered.
like a quality like just you know straight out the the dryer or the washing machine it's like perfect yeah I really like Slon hills man they're like a really like a different take on the just NFT projects as a whole like they're completely
web free brand but like there are 100% of web to business and it's just really crazy how they've managed to like go around with all of that and yeah their merch is I should say a powerl actually is some of the highest quality of sin in the space so I'd like to be if they're selling much I'd really be interested
with a lot of fashion designers and that type of thing. So it seems like they get their attraction but I do know there is a big price gap for their apparel. Like is 540 or something Australian dollars for a hoodie? That's a lot of money.
It's a designer experience. It's not just a designer experience. There's a difference. If you walk into Gucci and you spend some money, expect to have a nice customer service or a nicer bag when you
you know, it's all back and everything's supposed to be nicer than if you walk into a normal clotheshark, you know, you're probably going to be greed by a normal person and you know, there probably be average salesmen, you know, type of deals. So yeah, I think there's a much bigger difference when you are paying a bigger price and I know Salon Hills have always been good for them experiences.
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I think the main thing here is, is merch a utility. I remember back last year, you look at a road map and merch was literally on the road map and you go, cool, I'm going to get some merch.
I don't even know, do you really need to even do merch really? Is it such a big thing anymore? - I think NFT is a tribal, right? It's like football. You want someone to support your football team rather than somebody else's, right?
And, you know, they're going to rock your PFP on the timeline rather than another project. They may hold other projects, but they're going to rock your PFP. And, like, if you're able to give them a uniform, you know, it's like a... gives them something to rally behind, particularly if it's high quality.
I do agree. The only thing I would say though, I think that would only really apply to projects which are recognized by the majority of the community as well. I feel like just a brand that has just come out randomly and it's got like made me like you know 3000 holders and you know it hasn't
been in the ecosystem for long, there would be no point for them to drop a merge because there's no need for their merge. No one's representing them because it's a new project. So I feel like for much more OG projects or much more bigger projects in the ecosystem, it probably would be a better need so then you can have people going out to these
NFT events and represent your merch, but I don't see the need for much smaller projects because they probably need to work on more internal social marketing on Twitter and other platforms before they think about making a merch drop. I think as well, like
Just giving it out is probably a bit weird too. I think if you put an engage to earn sort of thing, give them a reason, I want to get this merch and if you can make them want it by doing something, I think that would be much better play.
I see that like Gambles have their like marketplace now like if you go and do something with them They can you can get rewards now, which is like six or like you buy NFTs with it or you can get like a cashback like you have to do something to get something and I think you know
like using gambles as an example is like, well, you know, you play on our site, you get rewards, you know, no other like there's a hully any other casino doing something like that. And I think if you do that with merch, like, you know, you go and rep the PFP for X and like for a month and you do this, then you get merch back. It just creates that more tribal.
Instinct. So I'm just passing off to Jackson real quick because he's got his hand up and then we're going to finish off and go through one question of the day and get some answers once it. Absolutely. I think on that as well when you're thinking about merch as a utility, it's almost about what are you exchanging for value?
So I think I'd agree that merch can be utility if it is given for say rocking the NFT as a profile picture or perhaps using an SPL token in order to pay for it. But if you're giving up your harder money in order to pay and almost promote their project, I'm not necessarily sure I call it utility.
100% understand 100% understand so just gonna quickly go through only one question of the day given up by listen who is Jackson who's on the speaker so I just want to get run through this one person at a time real quick to what extent does a branding play a role in
purchasing a new collector. So if you're going to go buy an FT, just branding, just branding something that you take into account. So like if it's like got weed or something, you're like staying away from it more, start off with your shady go headman. It depends on
what you mean by Brandon. I mean, if you talk about niche brand in the year, because I don't think there's a massive market for niche brands, but Brandon is very important though. So yeah, I would definitely agree that yeah, Brandon is very important.
Now I'm really interested to hear riders answer to this if he's still there and listening. Dude, if you're looking to buy a new NFT, is the brand something that you're taking into account? Like, "Oh, would you not buy it because the brand doesn't suit you?" Or you don't think it's mass marketable.
cool. He's out here in Gageman farming us. I love it. I love it. I love it. I live for it. Dude, I do it every day. Nifty, same question to you, man. Yeah, I think it's the vibe more than the brand, right? Because, you know, I don't think they're going to sell the IP for billions of dollars, right? But I think if you're either super cute,#
seals or Pudgy Penguins or just something that just everyone's gonna go, "Oh, I'm gonna get some of those." Then that's got a huge appeal. Or if it's really like irreverent, like the Ketsua, you know, where you've just got your kind of, you're gonna do your own thing, but there's just a lack of
a big vibrancy about it. I think either of those two work really well and Web 3 from what I've seen so far. So that I kind of see if there's that kind of style of it's, neither of those, that it needs to be a really smart tools play. You know, you're looking very carefully at the utility rate.
Yeah, 100% man, 100% So last is Jacksonman go ahead. What are your thoughts to answer your own question dude? It's my own question. I think one thing that can kind of be pointed out as well in regards to a brand is almost a notoriety. When you're looking at people on that timeline, you're going to be looking
working at what kind of profile they're rocking. And I know it doesn't necessarily speak to their credentials and what the hell they know it's talking about. But I've found as well, there's almost a correlation, if not a causation that the more your NFTs worth, the more that people, if not, will value your opinion, but we'll give it the time of day.
100% agree man, 100% agree. So everyone that's going to do us for today. Thank you for all the listeners. Thank you to all the speakers. Make sure you follow all of the speakers. We'll be back again tomorrow, same time, same channel. Have a good night. Love you all. Peace.
