Full Transcription
Thank you. oh this shit's cooked i didn't even get a space reminder pop up
yeah because they're not registering yeah like and i have notifications on i have all of that
like i had on my phone just come look for it you know so people people know where
we're at it's called the daily alpha we host a space tuesday through saturday from 10 15 to 12
we've been doing it for three and a half years so i'm pretty sure you all know where to find us
you don't need a reminder you don't need a repost i just retweeted it out so if people want to come
in they can come in that ain't gonna stop us we appreciate the people that do support us and stop
by if you guys can like and retweet the space, that would get the space out.
Since DMs are perma-cooked, apparently there's some data center that's down somewhere,
and it's preventing us from getting DMs.
I've heard that it has been cyber-hacked.
Also rumors of possibly them talking about canceling DMs in general
and kind of making
their own facebook messenger so i don't know what the truth is but yeah shit's cooked but that's why
we need you guys and uh you know we host a space tuesday through saturday so i mean if people want
to come by they'll come by we'll just give them a little more time than usual because the reminders
aren't working so we appreciate you guys we We love you guys. We'll keep it rolling.
Obviously, European Femboys saw a post from Trump this morning and decided to sell the market
because that's what European boys do. And then obviously it was a nothing burger. What do you
think the response was going to be? They're like, oh, we're willing to work with these guys, this
and that. And then obviously Trump and Besson announced that in about seven to ten days we're going to get a trade deal with India, which is massive.
I remember bringing up that post of our exports and imports, and India was one of the biggest ones.
So, yeah, European, you could suck it.
But really, I think the big announcement is actually that in a few days,
we're actually going to get a trade deal with India.
And that's going to send the market, I think, going pretty crazy.
So saw that one when we put that up.
So India and U.S. are near a trade deal breakthrough.
Sources tell CNBC TV18 that India and the U.S. may reach the initial trade agreement
within 7 to ten
days. Key highlights, the U.S. is expected to partially exempt Indian goods from 26%
reciprocal tariffs. A 10% tariff may be imposed on Indian imports and zero duties on select product
lines. And Trump proposed a 25% tariff on Apple phones is unlikely to affect Apple's manufacturing operations in
India. So lots of capitulation this morning. Obviously, we had India, Italians, foreign
ministers say, hopes the UAE can strike a deal, a trade deal with the US. Our aim is to remain
zero zero tariffs. And then the French minister, Laurent, also says we maintain our same position on Trump terrorists.
Namely, we seek to de-escalate and we are ready to respond.
So pretty much a nothing burger.
Like, yeah, it came out.
Everybody wants to capitulate, you know, right before America wakes up.
Oh, we need to get out before they do because everybody's going to dump.
And then kind of the responses from the EU come out.
And then another announcement that India is going to unban
tariffs is going to happen. And then Scott Besant, I think earlier today, about an hour ago, said we
will see more deals announced within the 90 day period, which I've been telling you is around July
4th. So why are we making our money? Obviously, we're in a roaring bull market. Trade deals,
announcements are kind of, you know, getting people more confident.
But also the credit market is completely wrecked right now.
And, you know, Trump, I think, was trying to use his tools to stop the upward climb on his debt.
Like, it was at 5.1% on U.S. Treasury.
And that tweet dropped it down to 5.
that we dropped it down to five.
So he's trying to stop that.
So he's trying to stop that.
But there's nothing going to stop these announcements,
these trade deals,
which is ultimately the big macro movements is going to happen.
So possibly everybody's talking the end of August.
We could go to the end of August,
but I'm still thinking I'm probably going to de-risk some,
probably around July 4th, July 8th,
when a lot of these trade deals come in
and then like there's
really none left. And so what are we really talking about? Where the next announcement's
going to happen? So a lot of people like to kind of, oh, it's going to be a lot longer.
This bull market's going to last a lot longer than it actually is. I could see us getting to
110, 120, 130K by July. And then us kind of, since there's no more announcement of trade deals,
kind of us consolidating until like maybe the Fed cuts some rates or something. So I don't think
we're going to get to the end of August, completely honest. Maybe we get to the middle of July or so
until we get like a consolidation, but I definitely think we get an all-time high before
the end of July. So that's just how I'm playing it. I do want to have some spare cash on the side
just to buy some of these dips
because no matter what's going to happen,
the government's either going to raise interest rates
or they're going to print money.
And either of those is going to create
a lot of uncertainty in the market.
And you're going to want some spare cash on the side
to buy dips or have some spares just to buy those
generation opportunities. And I've been talking to my family. They're wondering what they should
do, this and that. And I'm just like, hey, if you have some spare money, maybe dollar cost average.
If it goes down, great. You get a better entry point. But hey, you need to get some Bitcoin
exposure because a lot of these big entities around the world are trying to allocate to Bitcoin
right now. And they're like, oh, we feel late.
I was like, you feel late because I've been telling you to buy for the past three years.
The big institutions and these big people that own a lot of these money markets are
now investing in Bitcoin right now.
So you could say you're late, but in four years, you're going to be like, you know what
I'm saying?
Why didn't I buy at $100,000?
So it's just that that's
where we're at and i got this from jacob canfield and you can find this on coin glass um basically
gives you top indicators um but funding rates look like like this you think that it's over so
funding rates in general are basically showing you how much leverage is in the system and we're at pretty much it's crickets so we're
not over leveraged and you could definitely go to coin glass and there is BTC top indicators that
kind of show you pie cycle tops all these kind of things and none of those have hit either so I don't
see a top right now and I do expect there to be some turbulence sometime in the end of July and
August so and then we have prediction markets obviously kind of predicting what the price is And I do expect there to be some turbulence sometime in the end of July and August.
And then we have prediction markets, obviously, kind of predicting what the price is going to be.
Bitcoin rising.
This is on Kalish, which is a prediction market as high as $143,000 in 2025.
There's a 43% chance of Bitcoin breaking above $150,000 by the end of the year. So I do think we probably, I don't know if we get a local top here in summer and maybe we get a blow off top at the end of the year. So I do think we probably,
I don't know if we get a local top here in summer and maybe we get a blow off top at the end of the year,
but I do think 2026, beginning of 2026 into May,
where we can replace Jerome Powell,
I do think there's gonna be some turbulent times.
Maybe a recession will happen, I don't know,
but I'm definitely looking to stack my bread now and
hoping to buy those generation opportunities because when they cut rates and we crash,
those are the best opportunities to buy and you don't want to be totally allocated to this market.
So I'm looking at the beginning of 2026 into May of 2026 as kind of being rough times and then
buying those dips and looking for,
you know, generational buying opportunities for the next five to 10 years, man. Like that,
if you look at the last time we had a market crash, 07, 08, it's been in a roaring bull market
in the stock market for 20 plus years. So those are kind of, those are kind of times where you
want to have kind of spare money on the side and yeah, kind of feel like that's
the way I'm going to take advantage of this market. And so Trump had his dinner yesterday,
obviously, and dinner didn't have any announcements, but Miss Maxine Waters, I guess,
is the new Elizabeth Warren. Was that supposed to be when the new coin was going to get launched?
I saw a bunch of people talk about that. I guess that's what I was expecting. I mean, the last dinner, that's when you saw the Trump coin. i saw a bunch of people talk i guess that's what i was expecting i mean the last dinner that's when you saw the trump coin i guess a lot of people are
speculating if this true social coin is going to come out maybe it's announced at this dinner
but it really was a nothing burger right if everybody's expecting it i doubt that it ever
happens right it just kind of seems that falls through the floor every time like oh people are
speculating this coin is going to happen at the dinner and it didn't really happen but uh maxine waters um introduces stop trump and crypto act of 2025 the bill proposes
the u.s president vice president member of congress and their immediate family members
from conducting businesses are participating in companies related to digital assets aiming to
prevent conflicts of interest and abuse of power.
It also seeks to restrict their involvement through trusts, corporations, partnerships, nonprofits, and other legal entities.
Violations could carry criminal administration penalties.
Donald Trump is preparing to dine with top donors at his meme coin who would have made him and his family richer.
at his meme coin who would have made him and his family richer.
For all we know, Russia, China, and North Korea could be buying Trump crypto
to secure favors with the White House, said Maxine Waters.
Enough is enough.
You got to love it, right?
It's okay for Nancy Pelosi to do inside trading deals.
It's okay for all these shell companies with USA to have slush funds where they can take government taxpayer money and fund stadiums and parties.
But, oh, insider trading with meme coins and crypto, that's prohibited.
So I think the last people that are going to be talking is Democrats.
They've abused insider trading power forever.
And the fact that now they're coming down on Trump just shows their hypocrisy.
So I just got to love Maxine. She's from St. Louis too. So I've always hated this woman.
She, she, she's, uh, she's plight to this earth. And, uh, I don't know if you saw this chief, but,
uh, pennies have confirmed that they have had their final order of penny blanks. So pennies
are no more going to be minted, uh, Starting after all the blanks are basically done in the next few months
So, you know pennies are probably gonna skyrocket the MF is on Bitcoin
They already caught a bit and those were already like, you know, they have a
Solid group of collectors that are just buying those bitcoin pennies and they ran up to fucking
i think they're almost like 1500 when you know ordinals were at least in the limelight somewhat
so now that it's a little bit downturn no one's really caring to buy ordinals especially with
this penny news i'd maybe you know start picking up some of those sovereign pennies and see how
that plays out in the long run that's a good i mean i was kind of thinking of would pennies like the rare pennies the ones that were first minted would
those now be kind of even more rare yeah now that there's no more pennies ever going to be created
again i mean yeah because that's the thing like that's i mean that's one of the most og forms of
collection like of collecting and that has you know like deterioration and weathering and like all of that
stuff actually adds value versus in the traditional world those are things that you try to avoid
right over there if you find a penny that's like oh this is one of the original you know it's full
copper look at the imprint on this or look at it's a misprint penny and this and that and so
i don't know the flaws add value. And I think that that's an
interesting style of market over there too. It's because you have the provenance aspect of age and
first is first and, you know, similar to ordinals. And then you actually have the, like the factor
of, oh, it's degraded or, oh, it's in perfect condition or, oh, it's not. It was exposed to XYZ.
Yeah, that's what i was kind of thinking
like i was remembering people breaking down the sovereign pennies on bitcoin
like there's people that collected all the pennies that had shit on them like like something
stuck to it and then they would go look it up and is it like glue you know and then they would
write a thesis it looks like glue it looks like this It's from at the time of whatever, you know.
So it's all the stories that are attached to the collecting.
That's the interesting part.
It's like antique roadshow shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely, definitely interesting.
I was definitely thinking now that they stopped it, would that create, you know, some kind of scarcity now that there's no more printed?
Just like we see, you know, like there's no more Bitcoin left.
You know, now there's no more pennies created.
Will the rare ones actually gain more value? and i think that's kind of you're
thinking the same way i was thinking um i saw this this morning this is just i have two more things
uh with this macro and then we'll kind of there's a lot of announcements from solana yesterday so i
definitely want to go into that and uh we're also having uh chandler from sparkball come on they
just launched uh their play test yesterday so we're gonna get some information from him in about
an hour.
Plus just a lot of announcements in general yesterday.
It's like as soon as Bitcoin hits all-time high, here comes everybody with their fucking announcements.
They were literally sitting on their hands forever.
I was like, you motherfuckers.
But Wall Street Journal has reported that major banks like JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fog are exploring a joint stablecoin.
They want fast, cheap transactions, especially cross-borders using systems like early warning services or clearinghouse.
This is still early on the hinges of regulations like the Genesis Act mentioned last week.
This is great for crypto legitimacy, but could challenge existing stablecoins like Circle USDC.
With its $62 billion market cap dollar market cap bank trusted networks might eat
into the usdc share two scenarios seem likely either circle and other stable coins get outshined
by bank backed ones or big banks buy them out both would mean more control for banks and might impact
crypto long term so definitely need to keep your eyes on that. Are banks going to launch their own stablecoins?
Or are they going to buy USDC?
And then if banks control the stablecoins, that's not great, right? Because we're trying to get away from the banks.
So they can definitely cause some issues, bank runs, de-pegging.
They've already been in the past of not actually backing things one-to-one.
So just seeing that was definitely interesting to keep your eye on. I definitely think there
are rumors of Circle being acquired. So it wouldn't be out of the question that that
happens. And then I guess the last thing I thought was kind of making a hyper liquid
go berserk on top of just Arthur Hayes bull posting is that CFTC's Messenger crypto
perpetual futures could trade in the US.
So for the first time ever, US traders could finally get a chance to trade perps.
Up to this point, no American has ever attempted to trade the product on any forex exchanges, not even one.
So obviously he's joking, CryptoCleo is joking.
But just having that be legal here in the United States, you'll probably see more companies pop up.
And Hyperliquid obviously is the leading
perpetual trading platform,
definitely pumped off this news.
So definitely interesting to kind of see
perpetual trading platforms now,
you know, being accepted,
possibly being accepted here in the United States.
And then more companies, you know,
letting you trade them and not having to use VPNs,
this and that to actually use it.
So what exactly, I guess, is the,
I don't know, what are they trying to get from you with that like when they block it why is it blocked i guess in america
that's what i'm not understanding i guess because you're trading securities or something or i don't
know yeah because that's what i just really don't get if it's the same thing as almost i mean the
only difference between that and like futures is the end date right is that futures actually have an expiry date and then these don't these
you can technically lose money or make money forever kind of thing but i think that that's
the only fundamental difference between the two is just like you know an expiration date which i
guess that makes sense because and then it makes it seem like it's a contract and it's not you know
i don't know exploitable but yeah i mean i don't really don't get it or why it was blocked i mean especially
for me in texas i know that i can't access any of that shit so um yeah it opens up seems like
it's an outdated rule i mean i guess there's some kind of i know people that maybe traders and stuff
they need to take some kind of test and get approved and the fact that we're
able to do this free nilly and they're trying to protect people maybe that's why and it kind of
feels like an old rule obviously everybody trades on these on kucoin or they put a vpn and trade
anyways it's just now that we have you know crypto regulation kind of ending here it's
it's time to let people trade you know perpetuals and stuff like that in the United States and not require them to use VPNs.
So that was just kind of news.
Hyperliquid is pumping $33.
Shout out to everybody in Hyperliquid.
They're fucking killing it.
Everybody's talking about Hyperliquid.
Everybody's sick of Solana these days.
And if you guys are interested on how to use Hyperliquid, you could use RabiWallet or MetamaskWallet.
You add HyperVVM Network Wallet and use DeBridge and you can bridge to Hyperliquid. You could use Rabi wallet or MetaMask wallet. You add the HyperVVM network wallet and use DeBridge
and you can bridge to Hyperliquid.
You could also download Axiom
and they use Hyperliquid rails
and you would basically deposit your Solana
and then you'll be able to transfer it into,
oh no, it's not abstract, it's Arbitrum USDC
and you'll be able to trade perpetuals over there.
But yeah, they're doing their airdrops
and stuff relatively soon.
I've seen that they've been giving out points
to Hyperliquid, and people are speculating
that each point costs around $125 per point.
So everybody's kind of really bullish on the news,
but also Hyperliquid is one of the upcoming
actually use case the upcoming actually use
case, like people actually use it and the price is going up. So it's kind of like one of those
things, like we have a lot of vaporware in the space and hyperliquid is basically been deemed
like the best trading decentralized exchange or DEX on the market. And the price is showing that
and, you know, it's relatively new. So there's not a lot of backholders and a lot of people underwater.
And so it's pumping, man.
And on top of that, you have big influencers talking about it every day.
And you have hypeOs in the space every day.
So it's gaining the mindshare of people outside of this NFT niche that we live in.
And actually, real crypto traders are using it.
And I think that's kind of something I was also thinking about with abstract.
Like shout out to abstract.
I love abstract.
Great, great funnel.
Great, but kind of reminds me of Blast and like how we were super excited in a blast.
And everybody here was talking about Blast.
But we had to realize that, yes, the Dejan NFT motherfuckers in this niche of fucking Web3 are in the blast.
motherfuckers in this niche of fucking web three are in the blast but when blast went live you
didn't see crypto people outside of this degen side of twitter actually interested in blast and
i'm just kind of thinking i'm kind of seeing the same thing with abstract i do think luca
you know has a bigger voice than pac-man and maybe little pudgies can you know and pudgy
penguins ip and all that kind of stuff can get more traction. But I think the one thing that I'm kind of concerned is when Abstract goes main net
and the rewards dissipate, is Abstract going to be like blast
because only the niche NFT motherfuckers are actually excited about it
and what use case does the rest of the Web3 crypto space actually want with Abstract?
It's another L2.
Yes, they have games and stuff, but a lot of it's gambling.
And so what's the use case?
Is it streaming?
Is it just like building games on top of?
So I'm just interested if when it goes mainnet at the end of the year, do Web3 people in crypto,
not just this side of crypto Twitter, actually give a fuck about abstract?
And like that's the use case with Hyperliquid.
It's like the DGN love it we love it and then people maybe um and those people love
it too maybe the with with penguin plans right i think that that might be something that continues
to add fuel to the fire or is like the fan i think there's a post that I had that he came out and said, Luca came out and said that Pudgy Penguins hasn't had their biggest moment of 2025 yet, right?
So in a sense, if you think of this as momentum, as a fire, right, and they're fanning the fire, they're slowly dripping.
According to Finn, they haven't really pushed the marketing budget out or anything like that, right?
It's kind of just naturally taken
off through memes and just opportunities in the games but you can start to see some activations
i saw yesterday they were giving out physical uh gacha like the gacha game cards and stuff like
that so it's trying to bring it in but it has this natural fire ultimately i think that they're just
going to continue to fan the fire right and that they have a little bit of lighter fluid on the side whenever they actually need to bring all the eyes
and all the attention there and more so i think that'll be with the pudgy penguin side of things
and naturally it'll kind of trickle over and kind of one tide right rises that ship kind of thing
right so i'm gonna post that up to the top i think yesterday he said it while he was at um while he was over there at the solana avalanche or solana
is it accelerate sorry
yeah i saw that i'm just like is that going to get serious investors involved
like i don't know that make that makes us makes us excited but like what about
like i would say the nft degens that are on Twitter are probably 13% of all the crypto.
And so we're excited.
What do you think by investors?
I guess, what is your question?
Investors as in outside brands?
No, just people like other crypto people.
There's larger groups of people that are on Telegram.
There's a large amount of people that are on whatsapp that and
that you know play with crypto and are in crypto that aren't on twitter either and i was like blast
was just like this like everybody was talking about blast and then when blast went main i was
like great no one gives a fuck outside of our little circle and so i'm just like are we in
the echo chamber or is actually serious like the rest of crypto space actually want to use abstract when it goes live?
I think maybe it's a combination of the two.
But I mean, I feel like it's one of the bigger problems that Bear is also facing.
Is that like Bear is solving the DeFi side, right?
But token nerds, no offense, I'm a token nerd too, right?
Like the actual DeFi people, they're not social.
They're not pushing.
They're not on the timeline. They're not talking about that. I mean, they're not social. They're not pushing. They're not on the
timeline. They're not talking about that. I mean, they're looking at yield farms and chilling because
the more they share their farms and DeFi strategies, that's actually a net negative for that ecosystem,
right? I mean, you got one side of the ecosystem where you're pushing memes and it's someone has
to buy after you in order for a number to go up this as more people get in number goes down
Right because now you're diluting the yield and now you're diluting the pool
So it's also I see that like bears facing the same problem, but on the opposite side
so it's like do you want the attention that you get from is
Even though it's only sourcing from one thing, right? The opportunity
to make money. Or do you kind of deal with in the middle of your solving, let's just say a need or
facilitating a service, right? So bear is providing a service. So no one's really having to talk about
it because they're making money without having to talk about it. And then the other side,
they're providing culture and money making and the gambling and all that is all from creator economies.
Right. And actually you and I participating over there that is needed in order for the quote unquote casino to stay alive.
So it's like you got to find a blend of the two.
And it's just interesting that we're kind of in the middle of seeing like two ecosystems suffered similar but different problems, in my opinion.
like two ecosystems suffered similar but different problems in my opinion i'm just kind of concerned
if once the incentive kind of drives up do the metrics kind of dissipate and then all those well
that's the issue that's the the issue with having the culture and the fun and the uh i guess
the acquisition based mindset versus the retention-based mindset, right?
Is that the minute that the cost to acquire either becomes too much
because you're not getting the return, right?
Or like retention isn't in your hands because you're just the acquisition team,
then people move on to the next thing, right?
Especially if the underlying product never made a fit.
Yeah, yeah. I'm not trying to i'm
not i'm just trying to you know be devil's advocate here i'm trying to think outside the box is this
just us very excited or what's the price you know it's a combination of two bro like i said bear
is suffering the same thing but on the opposite end of the scale and so you can see it's not
something that people just get right right i mean and that's another thing too i look at the bitcoin
ecosystem that you know i was heavily a part of still am a part of still collect but dude ordinals
are dead are a phrase for a reason right i mean we died a billion times like to where it was zero
and no interest and then culture had to emerge and then it was well this makes sense to everyone
that bitcoin's the end point right but how do we go from it making sense to getting new participants in?
And it's still suffering that same kind of issue, right?
So it's, I mean, this is new ecosystem, I would say, dilemmas.
But it's not a bad problem to have unless people are kind of jumping ship and they don't even
want to keep building in that sense, right?
But if it makes sense, it doesn't matter if they like you.
They're going to collect and do their own thing on their own, right?
I mean, like, I'm buying Bitcoin shit.
I just don't have to talk about it or anything.
Like, it makes sense to me to collect on Bitcoin.
But right now, it doesn't make sense to participate in the ecosystem I see, right?
So it's like, you just got to figure figure out what if it makes sense do it and
if it doesn't then i'll ultimately understand the opportunity good flame jim gm guys um i'm assuming
this is old news at this point but twitter's broken right like i don't know about dms are
broken reminders are broken so yeah it's broke's broke. Check this out. This is hilarious. Like I just posted this
And I had to do it the only way I could post it was by um
Putting the text in another app and copy pasting it
into X
Like I could I can't even type
I couldn't even type tdaosp today like i had to type it in
my notes app and copy paste it into a comment um but i do have some alpha aside from just bitching
just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me um the dm thing is killing me but um I found an airdrop tracker from I think we're all
familiar with the boost website the alpha what's it called alpha alpha bot
alpha bot yeah I don't know if alpha TLDR is alpha TLDR associated with
alpha bot yeah it is um anyway I was nosing through their newsletter and I found a airdrop tracker that was created by one of the people that's involved with the newsletter. So I just thought I'd share that with you all. I mean, if there's anything that we've all learned, I think from the multiple cycles now is stay on top of airdrops and it's kind of hard to. So I like seeing when somebody else like an ocean site or a spreadsheet for me so i just thought i'd share that with you guys yeah 100 i
need to go check if i even have any but like like the wallet connect uh all these freaking bots are
just dust it's like oh i got one trillion tokens and then you get the airdrop you're like it's 10
bucks so it's like it's it's free man i'm telling you guys we started talking about
using it and you know i started using it more than everyone else um we earlier like in the year
started using it for those points and whatnot but i mean i'm finding i found money in a blast bridge
right now like literally i found money inside the blast bridge that i guess i bridged to blast
when you needed to claim the airdrop right Because you had to deposit like 0.01 or some shit like that in order to claim your airdrop.
I guess I never took that out.
And so that's there, chilling.
And you just find Rabi because I was looking at this wallet balance.
It was like 300 bucks or some shit.
And I'm like, how?
I don't have any money in here.
And you start scrolling and the good thing about Rabi, keep scrolling.
Because at the very, very bottom, it shows if you have any money locked up and you can direct click that and it'll take you to the website.
Like you don't have to go look for where's the blast bridge.
It's like, no, blast bridge.
Click that link and it'll take you directly.
Right. So as we were telling you guys yesterday, staying liquid, using the Unisat, right, UTXO manager, kind of getting all that dust out.
You can do the same thing.
And I'm seeing a lot of people finding money,
so to speak, using Rabi, right?
It does a really, really good job
at its integrations inside the wallet itself
for you to just kind of navigate directly to somewhere
if you have some money locked up.
Yeah, my MetaMask wallet was not opening mobile one.
And it opens today. But i think they're trying to integrate the solana wallet into it uh this weekend or something like that
but it's not working again i was getting pissed off that i had to go to my home computer to do
all this shit and not be able to do it on my mobile but i'm like kind of the last stand with
metamask i'm just like i want to continue to use it just because this airdrop's about to happen and so i just want to i hope the airdrop's gonna happen but i do want to kind of
switch to rabbi uh just because i hear a lot of people talking about but i was like i'm late to
rabbi so i just need to continue farming metamask and not just like spread myself too thin this is
the last stand of it but you know hopefully it's just better tech bro i'm now i'm not even using
it for an airdrop like it is legit just a better
Optimized wallet, you know, I feel that I feel that I just feel like I need to do this last
I just can't give up now like I'm this long
I want to get the squeeze this last piece of juice out of this meta master
It has like little secret features, too
There's like one it's like if you I guess if there's no wallet connect, you know
When you hit wallet connect to search for a wallet and if Rabi doesn't come up, they have a feature where you select it and it's like, it hides the wallet and it makes it pull up as if it's MetaMask.
And like you turn it on and it was like, all right, hiding your wallet now, refresh.
And when you refresh, it'll pop up like a MetaMask icon and And it'll just be the RabiWallet pretending like it's MetaMask.
I'm like just small little stuff like that to kind of really make it of ease, you know?
So, yeah, I've really liked it in that sense of I know there's no incentive.
I even checked the points thing and it's like points one season is done.
But overall, just better like tech and ease of use in crypto.
Oh, man.
Finding money and shit like that and just
easy way to go get it you can't beat that you know it's one thing to tell me it's a blast
wallet or bridge or something i would have never found the fucking link to the blast bridge yeah
and not only that but it's like just super intuitive like it included all these features
that i didn't even know i wanted until they showed us that they had them like copy pasting wallet addresses and it's just so it's it does a billion pop-ups like if you're
trying to move fast it's definitely something that slows you down in a good way right because
if you're sending money to a brand new address that it's never seen it'll block it and it'll say
hey put in your password and confirm this is a brand new address you've never sent money to this
before right like i said it's like auto safety features yeah like the having to whitelist wallets And it'll say, hey, put in your password and confirm. This is a brand new address. You've never sent money to this before.
Right?
Like I said, it's like auto safety features.
Yeah.
Like having to whitelist wallets, even your own wallets.
It's pretty dope.
Like it's definitely saved me some trouble.
And it even gives you like heads up as far as like you were saying, or maybe it's a little different, but like sites you've never used before.
Yeah.
New protocols, right?
If you're interacting with a contract that says, contracts been out for two days and you're like huh well this this twitter's been out for six
months they said that they've been working how has the contract only been out for two days
that's a little bit sus so it's stuff like that that allows you to just hit that one second pause
because you have to click ignore you have to put your there's no way around it you can't turn it off and put
degen mode so made you like those features um go ahead sam yeah what's up td rabbit is dope it is
i mean um it um it like you say you can switch from metamax to, you know, to Rabi by moving a little turn to orange to purple and whatnot.
But speaking of Rabi, y'all still staking your poll?
Y'all still, like, participating in that?
Yep, still waiting on that one.
If you go to rewards, I'm pretty sure this is it.
If you go to the rewards and the poll staking thing, you can see every single airdrop that they've gotten,
and it says, like, there's a status. It's green or it's red. And if it says to be announced or it
says confirmed airdrop, there's one on there that literally says redacted. And it says TBD,
and it's waiting. If you pull up the original ag layer post from Polygon, in the middle says
redacted. So, I mean, yes, it could technically mean the word redacted, but just coincidence that
they're both saying the same word. Even if it's just hiding what's underneath, the chances of it
being the same thing, they're trying to hide the same thing are pretty high in my opinion, right? So literally, if you go to if you're using rabbi or whatever
wallet you're using, right, pull it up, your polygon stake and go into that platform. And
then you pull up rewards, right? You can literally see there that there's confirmed airdrops that
happened already. And then there's one that literally is just blank and it's just uh go to
community drops on the top and then you can just see one that's to be determined d5 estimated 2025
tbd and everything else is already confirmed all around it so my didn't just a waiting game
so it's a waiting game apparently we're getting like if you staked i mean i don't know when these
were done but my didn't and provato id are going to come next year
and the airdrops already confirmed the other ones already said that the airdrops finished so
we literally got three that are pending and one has no information on it which is probably the
one we're waiting for i'm going to suspect that this is going to happen sometime next middle of next week and it's not
like it's not going to happen guys like it's gonna fucking happen it's just a matter of them
taking the snapshot and them announcing what the fucking the name of this is like
yeah that's why i've been looking at it right because i mean everyone's had these doubts we
told you guys to lock up money and you know i got money locked up in there as well and so
i was like where do you you know where can i get some maybe some information and literally this you go to community drops it
says hey stakers play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of polygon projects
and dApps deployed on polygon benefit the stakers efforts so to that end projects are dropping
various ways for stakers to be involved in the wider
polygon ecosystem so i would use that as a metric i mean if you see this change from tbd to a
confirmed or a day then you can probably remove your money after that it's gonna happen just give
it a be a little more patient like we say like if you're gonna stake something make sure you don't
need it instantly i know you're like oh i need that five hundred dollars to go in this meme coin and then
you'll lose that five hundred dollars so just give it a give it a few more weeks i i'm pretty
100 confident that there is going to be a stealth you know a stealth snapshot and this is going to
be a massive allocation for stakers so they could be rewarded um we talked about kraken list and
dog it looks like they're also uh buildinge support, native Bitcoin runes integration.
So that's big.
That's big.
I'm not sure.
I guess you could, what would be the benefits of this?
I guess you could list any rune you want.
You could have it pegged to a stable coin.
What would be the benefits of integrating,
like having building a native Bitcoin runes integration into Kraken, Chief?
I'm just trying to think of what would be like, what would be different than what we have now?
Well, that's what allows them to list all the runes.
If they do that, they can list everything, not just Dog.
That's the whole thing.
That's, I guess, the question was, did you guys do this only for Dog?
Or did you guys set up the rails for if any team meets the criteria them also be listed you know
so yeah it doesn't i mean that basically just do an onboarding of all the runes that have you know
yeah it means that the tech is available and now you're back into the the regular sex game right
before no one knew if it was possible right it was like you were saying like oh they just just
list it and it's like no
you got to build all the bitcoin shit out now they're basically saying we've built all the
bitcoin shit out it is possible uh now it's just whether you fit the criteria whether there's demand
you know now you go into just the regular requirements to be listed on a dex and i think
what's interesting too is that you covered the ok x thing right that their wallet was
Sunsetting the runes integration
Tell me why as soon as kraken did that announcement. They deleted the tweet
Did they delete it? Yeah, bro
I guess that they were like coming out and saying, you know runes are a fail
We're not longer gonna have it on our wallet. You guys can't do it. And then sure enough, someone came out and was like, yeah, no, you can. And we're
doing it. And then they're like, oh shit, it's pinned up top. It said yesterday, OKX Wallet
made an announcement suspending support for runes on wallet scheduled to be on June 5th, 2025.
Then shortly delete the publication after the official website oh the publication on the
official website sorry after kraken announces dog support uh for spot listing i think they came out
with their own version of like stake bitcoin yesterday too you know like how um coinbase has
cb cbbtc i think they have like xxbtc that they're too. I'm like, wow, what a 360 reversal, bro.
I guess these devs get around like, oh, we're just going to copy their fucking infrastructure and import it into ours or some shit, dude.
So, oh my God.
That's hilarious.
That was just funny, bro, that they literally was like, what?
What do you mean it's possible?
You're like, yeah, Kraken just did it today.
They're like, oh shit, then that means that we can do it.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, there was tons of
salon of announcements yesterday i did not know there was basically a salon accelerator uh thing
there was so much stuff that uh that went on i guess i'll just pin them up and just go real quick
on that note i got an email for the phone right remember i told you that it was an extra 500 bucks
that is not the case bro i went back and i mean yeah that wasn't the case i thought it was an extra 500 bucks that is not the case bro i went back and i mean yeah that
wasn't the case i thought it was an extra 500 bucks the day that they dropped that announcement
um i went to the page it was trying to charge me an extra 500 i said no i didn't complete it you
know i was just debating and yesterday i was like fuck it'll do it. I got an email from them, right, directly, hey, complete this.
I clicked the link, I went in there.
Dude, it was $50.
The phone was $500, and we have paid $450.
Yeah, we already did that.
That's how we got the Soulbound token.
Yeah, no, originally, even I logged in with my wallet,
and it was trying to charge me an additional $500.
It was the same for Allison.
It was the same for a lot of people.
That's why I was asking you.
Do you think it's worth $1,000?
Everyone that logged in day one it tried to add on an additional $500.
That was my whole point was do you did you think we were going to get the extra $500 back if we spent that and all that right?
But yeah if you were in doubt if you didn't want to spend the extra 500 uh go check it's not that i mean
mine was i had 50 bucks i did the same thing yesterday and they didn't charge me anything
it was weird though because it got hung up when i went to check out and so i refreshed the page
and it said complete so i can't click on anything. So it must have just gone through
It's clearly buggy. So yeah, it's weird extra 500 bucks. Tell me you want that refund because
Yeah, if you did a day one you got cooked because it was actually charging you an extra 500 bucks. That's messed up
Yeah
And yesterday when I dated it literally said hey, there's a discount available
It showed I ended up paying like $34 or something.
Right.
And that was the whole discount of the remainder of the 50 plus a little guest discount for
some shit.
So it was like 34 bucks.
You can pay with credit card or you can pay with sold through Helio.
So go do that.
I know that we kind of told you guys, I mean, we were just talked about a day one and it
was more so like, i don't know if
it's worth it but if you did it then it is worth the extra 50 to 30 bucks or whatever you need to
do to complete it and just make sure that you're getting that if it's charging you anything more
than that then wait or refresh or do some shit yeah sorry i was just gonna say real quick good
uh if you don't want to hunt around for the link, it's basically the SolanaMobile.com, whatever their main site is, slash shipping.
I know we paid $450 for it in the beginning, and I'm like, oh, they're going to charge us another $500?
Like, that makes the phone around $1,000.
I mean, that's kind of expensive.
I mean, Apple phones are like $1,300.
I was like, I guess they're comparing themselves to Apple.
So that's what I thought.
I was like, man, it's kind of expensive.
But I was like, OK, we've already made fourteen hundred dollars off the airdrops.
I mean, this is five hundred dollars is going to be an airdrop.
Yeah, that's literally why I went because you said that yesterday.
You're like, I think, well, you know, we already made over a grand.
We'll make the five hundred.
So I was like, yeah, I guess you're right.
If I have the five hundred, why not?
And I was literally going on there because I was like secret token and whatnot.
But yeah, dude, it should be 50 bucks good good i mean the the general manager of solana was on stage
yesterday and was regurgitating shit that isn't happening anymore he was talking about the main
the main thing that's wrong with the data or with building in web three is the centralized app stores and we're at the you
know they're charging us crazy fees he's literally gaslighting everybody acting like apple just
didn't just removed the 33 percent fees on microtransactions that was the old speech bro
that was the speech that was written before that occurred that's what i'm saying dude i'm just like
dude how are you gonna go up on stage and gaslight your whole community
and say that the App Store is still
charging you this 33%?
It's like, yeah, maybe they will again.
I mean, maybe that is a risk for
building applications for Apple
and the App Store is like, maybe one day they're like,
fuck your app and you're out of there.
And maybe they want to create a decentralized
App Store where developers can
know that they'll never be fucked with.
But I don't know if that's the mission now, dude.
Like, I still don't think this phone has any use case other than it's a vessel for airdrops.
Like, I don't think anybody's going to be building applications for a decentralized app store on this phone. I think if you're smart, you take the risk and you try to build it and you try to use that distribution network of the Android
and the Apple Play Store. And that's how you build, build like the user base, dude. But
I was like, I listened to this. I'm like, are you fucking serious, bro? You're, you're literally
saying this when there was news just a month ago that Apple's not doing this anymore. So
I still think the phone's useless. I still think the best use case of it is obviously just getting your money back. And then hopefully
there you get some airdrops. So yeah, just you can listen to yourself. I pinned it up top. But
just going into just the bevy of announcements at this conference. We saw this with Kraken and
the securities. Now you can do that. Now Ando Finance is launching global markets to enable on-chain trading of public securities.
Solana platform will integrate a Solana DeFi as competition, bringing traditional markets on-chain.
And then we had Wormhole announce that $53 billion of Doge is coming to Solana as a native SPL token,
establishing Doge as a Solana native token.
Wormhole, the leading interoperability platform,
is connecting traditional finance and internet economy today,
announcing a strategic integration to bring Doge
onto the industry's most popular asset to Solana using Wormhole.
Which, what do we think?
Is this just like Dog having an SLP SPL token on,
on like Cardano and this other thing,
does this bring like more people to buy Doge now that this is now being
35 billion is now being bridged over to Solana.
Does this do anything to Solana price?
Does this do anything to the Doge price?
Does this get more people in the Doge?
I feel like if
you wanted doge you could have bought it on robin hood there's tons of vehicles and easy ways to buy
doge i don't think bringing 35 billion dollars of doge over the solana so it's it's traded over
here does anything like if people wanted doge they would buy doge like it's not that hard to get
the people the meme coin traders right and And let's just say the trench participants.
I mean, those are diehard Solana Mac, like Maxis and Solana boys, right?
I mean, if we're going to go for a dog, they're going to go for Bonk, right?
They're going to go for something that was there for them when they were down and out
that revitalized their ecosystem, right?
That's one thing that, I mean, you see the, I guess you call it tribal ecosystem, right? That's one thing that I mean, you see that I guess you call it tribalism
Right, but I mean they're actually culture and community coins and bonk was one of those
It was the first supporter of the whole soul ecosystem when everyone basically abandoned it, right?
They did the airdrop that said
Kind of a little bit of money in people's pockets
And so I just think in that sense
I mean doge is one of those culture coins and it kind of transcends bit of money in people's pockets and so i just think in that sense i mean
doge is one of those culture coins and it kind of transcends and it was the og but in reality
doge wouldn't the people buying it on soul wouldn't be the trenchers if that's if that's i
guess my perspective right the people buying it on soul would be if you have older people or just
i guess a safer bet people can start scaling into bags like that but if you have older people or just, I guess, a safer bet.
People can start scaling into bags like that.
But you're not going to attract the everyday trencher with Doge, right?
Yeah, they're just going on Coinbase or Robinhood, right?
Like, I don't know.
Like, right?
Like, if an old boomer wanted to buy Doge,
they're not going to swap Solana in Phantom Wallet for an SLP token.
They're just going to go buy it on Robinhood or Coinbase.
Like, I guess English has a different perspective on this,
but I just don't see what, like, the people that want a Doge,
there's so many easy ways to buy Doge already.
So, I don't know.
Go ahead, English.
No, I was excited about it, dude.
Like, I don't know.
I think there's, like, a subset of people that have, like,
a decent amount of capital. It depends on how much liquidity is on the spl token but like yeah
like you think like trenchers like so like you synonymous with like solana but that's not
necessarily true bro i like to trade on my phantom wallet on my mobile on jupiter like i literally go
to like the tab there and i go on my phone i don't't have any bots. I don't go on Phantom. I don't do any like that.
But like I'm happy to throw like 10K into like a sub 10 million cap.
And if I want to throw six figures at a coin that I think like Fartcoin that has like 20 million, you know, liquidity.
And I think I can get a 30% scalp.
That's 30K right there.
Like there's a lot of people like that.
lot of people like that i think there's like the k monies or people that have that liquidity
I think there's like the K monies or people that have that liquidity.
and like doge is just one of those things that like i remember thinking like fuck like the last
alt season that we had like last year in november like i don't know that shit went up to like 40
billion market cap from like a low of like five or something from like the year before and it's
like damn it was just as easy as just fucking throwing all your money in doge and forgetting
about it i don't know i was excited about it i know some other people why excited i guess about
it on soul and not so much that you can access it on oh because i don't use any other i just use my
phantom wallet like i literally have like my ordinals that i buy and i have them you know
stored and that's all i trade as i trade on my phantom wallet like i really will if i if i think
solana is cheap i'll buy solana and then
i'll just try to like out trade my solana gotcha i mean i don't have a different market cap
i don't think so no i don't have the same market cap because of arbitrage like people will arbitrage
the spl token and like the market will do its thing but i don't know i just think i think you're
knocking out the convenience thing dude like i like i know I could buy Doge if I wanted to,
the same way I could buy a hype if I wanted to, the same way that I could buy whatever,
but there's a lot more friction. Like it takes a lot more like mental kind of thing. When you
take that out of the equation, like don't minimize making things easier. Like I think Naveen,
as we're all as crazy as he's like every time you add
a point of friction you lose 50 of the people i think there's a whole subset of people that would
want to throw a ridiculous amount of money that haven't just because they have to like put it on
their exchange and they don't want to trade on their exchange or they don't really fuck with
robin hood and like they're just on-chain people yeah maybe, maybe this brings, like, instead of having to get,
maybe you have a restriction on Coinbase,
said, oh, I can't bridge, you know, $30,000 over there today,
and now maybe this provides an easier way for someone that has $30,000
to instantly access that liquidity
and don't have to deal with, like, centralized exchange restrictions.
So maybe this brings, like, liquidity faster into Doge
instead of people
maybe having to you know put a thousand dollars in at a time or i know there's certain restrictions
on the centralized exchange don't let you put like like even bigger people like a million dollars
say someone wanted to put a million dollars in doge now this makes it a little bit easier for
them to do that instead of having to deal with you know restrictions on these centralized exchanges
so i'll just say well i'll just say one more thing. I know Flame has. I think it's also just like baby steps
into like the Solana ecosystem
where it's like you have like these legacy things
that you wanted,
like Doge is its own proof of work chain, whatever.
It's like now you add that.
And now you like,
I just don't want to download Robinhood
and put a bunch of money on there
and just do all that.
And then now they're going to have stocks on there.
So like, I don't know,
EZ has been bullish on hood. And so now if I just want to use my like USDC Solana and just buy a
bunch of fucking Robinhood stock, I can. And now if I want to buy like this legacy meme coin,
if I think it's going to be a meme coin super cycle and Pepe, Whiff, you know, Farcoin and
subsequently Doge are going to do shit, I can just chuck a lot of money at that and come back in six
months for a 3X, you know?
I don't know.
Things like that, I think, adds up over time.
So that's like one unlock.
Having like a proof of work chain, like basically a foxy on your chain.
And then having stocks.
And it's like, fuck, I can just do everything I want right on Solana.
Like, perfect.
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, it is.
I guess for on-chain warriors, maybe this accesses more liquidity from them.
So I just don't think it's like boomers and noobs that they're going to be looking at Solana to buy their first Doge.
I think there's tons of opportunities to buy that on kind of things they're more familiar with.
I mean, you could probably even buy it on Venmo at this point.
So yeah, maybe this unlocks just like the DJ nature to be able to ape Doge a little bit easier.
So maybe you're right.
Yeah, it's not revolutionary, but it's just not nothing. It's my point. Like I got excited about it. I talked to a couple of people. They're like, oh shit, you're right yeah it's not revolutionary but it's just not nothing it's my point like i got excited about it i talked to a couple people they're like oh
shit you know like that's cool like um maybe i'll fuck with it a little bit like i don't know i
think it's something for sure well they pump my dogenals that's all i really care about flame
you had your hand up what's good bro i'm just joking i don't have any more dogenals uh i just
want to see if uh people still needed uh bitcoin vegas information for the last minute
rsvp years like me uh there is a spreadsheet that's available and i'm happy to pin it to the
top if you want because you can't dm it right so you might as well pin it up top if anybody
it's not a great day to get past information around for people when dms are broken so yeah
if anybody needs some last minute bitcoin vegas um event schedule pin it up pin it up top this is how we're going to
get out the message today i guess is just pin the shit out so if you want if you need to you know
send a text message or if you're failing to you know if you're a booty call you know you can't
get them in the dms you know come up here request up and you can put your post up top and you can
communicate them directly in the space so Just putting that out for you.
DreamNet also launching on
Solana, officially launching this
summer. DreamNet is the thing that Doodles is launching
a new protocol for community-driven stories
world with agents.
You can learn more about it.
So, I mean, we all kind of
know what's going on here with them.
They're trying to create like a
giant-ass universe with
ai agents and you can build your own characters but they're building for the future with the
character agent hackathon by dreamnet and sin ai fund july or june 26th to the 3rd there's 50k
prizes includes access to four dreamnet native agents during the doodle so if you guys are
one of those mfers that does this stuff,
there is a cash prizes to get involved.
Kind of moving forward,
Jupiter is basically teasing at a lending protocol by Fluid,
the most advanced money market on Solana coming the summer of 2025.
You can definitely be early to do that.
You go to jupiter.ag.lend.
And then it looks like-
Real quick.
Oh, sorry.
I didn't know if you were changing topics.
But I've been up to the top SoFan.
It's just kind of...
You can see your allocation.
You are awarded some SoFan based on specific partner communities, right?
We saw Good Vibe Clubs get an allocation and a couple others.
So I got the official link from them for you to check it out
this is i guess another chain that people have been kind of promoting seeing it did a big debut
in uh dubai and had a splash with a lot of the content creators over there so just posted that
up the breakdown the tokenomics as well is 25% to core contributors 26% for the
ecosystem reserve and the airdrop go is 9% and seed round investors get 18% so it says that launch
so fun will so the token itself will serve two core functions, gas payments for all transactions on Sofon, and staking to secure the network through decentralized sequencing.
So all that information is pinned up there if you guys are interested.
And then it also talks about some things for the actual Sof token itself.
Yeah, there's just a lot of Solana stuff,
so I was just trying to run through it real quick. I'll get to you in one second.
I'll just finish this up.
Play Solana, which is that device,
today, Jupiter Mobile is officially
the exclusive wallet for PSG1.
It's basically a hardware
resolution for Solana.
They're saying it is a DeFi
super app in your pocket this isn't just about
software it's about dropping 500 limited edition psg ones um so this is kind of you could pre-order
there's about 500 right now if you guys want a basically a wallet on top of a gaming device
and then ledger also came out with kind of a new kind of touchscreen wallet.
SPL support on Ledger Live, now available in February.
And then the last one I had was Farcaster is now integrating into Solana too.
So I did not know there was a Solana conference.
There was a bevy of them.
I even talked about how GeoNet is integrating into the Solana Seeker phone
where you can use the Solana Seeker and go, like, map out shit and get rewards.
So there was a bevy, a bevy, a bevy announcements from Solana yesterday.
I just wanted to throw them up there if you guys missed them.
But, Elmo, what's up, brother? How we doing?
Yo, yo, yo.
Just wanted to give people a heads up, man.
You know, Vegas is next week, and uh we're gonna be throwing a little get together
um i think it started out as an idea of like a kind of like a small gathering um for all the
orange cube collectors and people that are interested to come out and meet us but
it's now uh turning into something a little bit bigger than that, I guess. But we're taking over Mallywolf on Thursday.
So if you guys are interested,
I threw the RSVP and the details up in the nest.
We also gave away seven free tickets to this event.
And then we have a bunch of discount codes
for anybody that wants to come in with our party on Thursday.
And got some party favors and other various things.
I just ultimately think that this could be one of the coolest events in Vegas.
I don't know if you guys know what Meow Wolf is,
but it's a completely immersive, surreal, psychedelic experience
that's in this massive warehouse in LA.
So come by, check it out.
You can meet the team behind the largest inscription on Bitcoin so far.
That's Wombat.
And shouts out to Ravenous for helping us make this happen.
He's been amazing, not only as a dev, but as like a friend and a partner really helping us try to
grow orange cube out as a brand so yeah threw it up in the nest check it out hope to see you guys
there dms are back let's fucking go i know i just sent one i fucking said what let's go i just got
i just got railed with like 4 000 of them them all at once. They've all been backdated since like 24 hours ago,
and I just got like 50,000 DMs at once, dude.
Let's go.
Now we're not back in the Stone Age anymore.
That's what we've been talking about, guys.
What the fuck happened to DMs?
Looks like they figured out the data issue, the data center issue.
Cybertech's over, I guess, but man.
I still can't type in my app though but i'll take dms dms
are cool can't type in the apple just input it into like the notes app and just copy and paste
it i guess i was having trouble with spaces earlier this week where i would they wouldn't
let me post and i would have to go at the bottom and re-edit it and put the name of the space again
and the time again so the app has
definitely been funky this past week but i'm just glad dms you don't know how much you love
something until you lose it right and just like how reliant we were on dms that's why we need to
kind of branch out on other platforms and and create other groups other places because we can't
rely on this app and if it goes down, what do we do, guys?
How do we get in contact with you?
TDATG.
We need a TDATG.
Yep, I agree.
And also, if I can't type into the app right now,
does that mean I can park in the handicapped spots?
Probably not. I'm not sure, dude.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
Chief, you got some things you want to you want to talk about real quick man yeah i'll post something up to the top uh record breaking
sale on uh the maple story side of things uh just thought that this was kind of crazy but
you got mfers out there actually doing uh the grind right there are a lot of cheaters in the
game right now people hacking and doing all that bullshit.
And I guess that's something that
is going to come into play more and more often,
especially when there's money available, right?
You have the guilds, you have the farms,
like we saw on Axie,
grinding characters up to the level
where they can be sold and then sold off, right?
But you're also having just hackers
doing the same thing. But anyway, the people that are actually taking advantage of it and, sold off, right? But you're also having just hackers doing the same thing.
But anyway, the people that are actually
taking advantage of it
and, you know, cooking and playing and whatnot,
highest sale, 16 grand
for a fucking game character
that someone wants to own
and the items that are attached to it.
So I think that that's something
to keep in consideration too.
It's like, are people paying for skins?
We see the crazy numbers on the Counter-Strike skins, right?
Fetching houses, literal houses for knives and for specific old classics.
And so I can kind of see that start to develop here.
And it's just cool to see the proof of concept in that sense, right?
I mean, $16,000 for someone who's in any kind of
place besides america it 2x's 3x's or can continuously go a little bit further than it
does here so i just thought that that was uh interesting and just proof of concept right
um so that they know that they're working on the whole hackers and scammers and all that kind of
shit too uh i think we can just
segue into play sparkball for right now and then we can just do a little dump at the very end
yeah for sure i mean that's a good segue um chandler what's up man how we doing appreciate
you stopping by my guy doing really well great to be here i timed it real well here talking about
maple story so have you played yet uh i have not man i i grew up like two years too late for maple story i feel
like and just never caught the bug you either had to pick two like that's the thing like
when as someone who played maple if you if you don't like side scrollers or if you did play you
didn't like any clickers like i hate clickers clickers. I hate fucking WoW. I hate RuneScape. Like, all that's trash to me.
But I grew up playing Mabel, like, as a child, you know, for 20 years ago.
And so that makes sense.
So it's just cool to see the full circle moment on that end.
For sure.
But just tell us a little bit.
I mean, obviously, I've been in conversations with you.
I know all about you.
Maybe give the space that doesn't know what play Sparkball is and you.
Just give a little history lesson on yourself.
But what play Sparkball is doing, man?
Yeah, for sure.
So hey, guys, this is Chandler behind the Sparkball account.
I'm the founder and CEO of Sparkball.
Sparkball, if you guys have never seen the gameplay, we usually just describe it as League of Legends meets Rocket League or FIFA, but you kill each other.
So imagine taking a League of Legends hero, dropping it into a FIFA match, and blowing each other up while simultaneously trying to score.
So we just launched our preseason yesterday.
If you guys haven't come and played, just come play it, guys.
I think we have the most fun game in Web 3, obviously.
I'm going to say that.
But I really, really actually believe that.
So happy to get anyone to come play anytime.
Yeah, we have it pinned up top.
Earn rewards and get a head start on season zero
later this summer by stacking friendship.
Earn sparks after creating your account.
This one is free.
Participate in game nights and community events.
Play open matchmaking events on Steam.
Next fest is June 9th to the 16th.
Be kind to everyone.
So what is sparks and how can we get sparks?
I guess just by playing the games?
Yeah.
So just to be clear, the Sparks is just a promo code.
So the way the preseason works is we decided to theme it a little and really promote this idea of friendship.
I think friendship and cooperation is something we all need a little more of in life and in Web3 especially.
But the basic idea is that you show up to events, you participate in our matchmaking events, which is on June 9th, like you said, and just participate around the ecosystem.
And you'll slowly stack this kind of friendship points looking thing up.
And the way that it works is we're launching Season Zero, which is the big airdrop campaign, which is the one with the battle pass and all the fancy rewards and all that good stuff.
So this is basically just to get a nice fat head start for that one.
So this is basically just to get a nice fat head start for that one.
So it's really, really casual for this preseason event.
And it's really just centered around of, you know, come hang out with the community and play the game.
That's obviously the most important thing to us is just come play.
And like computer requirements to play.
It's on Steam.
Obviously, I can't play because my computer is 14 years old, but that's going to change really soon.
Yeah, we did run into that problem, obviously.
It is PC only right now.
It does not work on Mac.
And the only real requirement is just having a dedicated graphics card.
So as long as you got a dedicated graphics card, even if it's, you know, seven, eight years old, you're good to go.
We will be on Xbox later this year.
We're just finishing up the port.
So super, super excited about that.
And then we also work on Steam Deck.
So if you guys have like a rogue ally or a Steam Deck, really, good experience on that as well and you're building on monad too how can we kill like when is the time to kill two
birds were one stone where we play your game but also are putting transactions on monad is that
happening now or does that happen yeah it's a good question yeah it's a good question so so
pretty transparently you know we always are pretty upfront about this. We are, I always kind of describe this as probably one of the more Web 2 games in Web 3.
And the way that our entire economy works is that all of our Web 3 elements actually sit on top of the game.
So if you imagine playing Spark Ball like the sport of playing soccer, the physical activity of playing soccer,
well, you don't just play soccer, you also watch it, wager on it, create leagues around it, create merch, support teams, etc. That's our Web3 economic metagame. So our focus really right now
is saying like, hey, let's make a super fun game that would survive by itself in Web2. I think
we're well on our way to doing that. And then later this year is where we really start kicking
in the Web3 integrations. That starts with prop betting. So we've actually built out a really, really cool AI versus AI system
where all the bots are trained based on player data.
And you can come in and kind of like basically bet the over-unders
on how the bots are going to do and start wagering against your friends
on that front.
So that's coming way later this year.
So great question on the two birds with one stone,
but we're a ways out on that.
And that's why kind of I said our focus is really just on playing right now so i know we've had conversations for a web3 game i know i know it's
not i mean we've had we've had conversations what is kind of your like can you you articulate your
belief in just like the game gaming web3 meta in general like you're pretty you're pretty into what
you just mentioned like the prop betting that but you're kind of like downplaying a little bit of like the skin nature of
Web3 gaming.
Can you kind of just like articulate that point?
Yeah,
that's a great question.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think the way that we look at it is like Web3 economies,
you know,
not to sound super cheesy and basic,
but like they are insanely hard to put in a game.
And I think that's why we haven't really seen a super successful iteration
of it.
I think MapleStory is probably the closest we're going to get.
And I think MapleStory has a huge advantage over all of us in the fact that they're obviously
maple story like they have a gigantic player base that just comes in right out of the gate
that skin is worth sixteen thousand dollars because it's maple story yeah i mean you literally
have to that point too we kind of mentioned it you're having people hop on because the actual
web 3 part of this is to like log on you go to their website and that's the only web three that you're forced to do
Is just click login in your character and they go but the thing is there's no money needed
There's nothing so to them
It's the same thing as Google popping up and saying do you want to sign in with your Gmail?
They're like yeah cool two clicks on MetaMask or whatever and then you can literally play the entire game without knowing that there's anything
Crypto or web 3 related period so you're seeing people in the game
Where you know, I'm just talking it's like yo, what's up?
Do you guys know about crypto or this or that? How'd you get here? And it's like, oh no, this is maple story 3
We're trying to see what what you know
see what what you know what's new here and what's better than maple story 2 and it's like
What's new here and what's better than maple story 2 and it's like, oh
oh like you're attracting people like that because they just think it's a new season
or they just think it's a new iteration of it and it's so seamless that it's not i mean if they
choose to interact they do and if they don't they don't you know they never know yeah no i i totally
agree in that i think that's why we've been so deliberate about splitting kind of the web 2 and
web 3 elements for us um it's how we're on so deliberate about splitting kind of the Web 2 and Web 3 elements for us.
It's how we're on Steam, for example.
Like Steam obviously has some pretty strict rules against like NFTs and tokens and things like that.
So it's a really easy decision for us to say like, hey, our game is most successful the more traditional gamers we attract.
And therefore we kind of set that pipeline up.
And then that way when people get in the ecosystem, they say, hey, I really like this game.
I really like this IP. I want to figure out how else I can engage. That's when you can start really, really engaging with those, those web three elements. And to, to express this question
about kind of the skin economy and things like that. Our thesis is that free to play is dead.
So if you come into a game and it's free and you kind of have this classic microtransactions model
where it's like,
hey, I can buy a skin for five, ten bucks, whatever.
I can buy Battle Pass and then I had microtransactions onto that.
It is insanely hard for a new game to make it in that kind of space nowadays.
I think Marvel Rivals is the last one to do it successfully.
And again, they obviously have a super unfair advantage of what,
$300 million and the Marvel IP.
Not really fair.
So our big belief and kind of our thesis in Web3 Gaming is this idea of what, $300 million and the Marvel IP. Not really fair. So our big belief and kind of
our thesis in Web3 Gaming is this idea of like, look, let's make a Web2 game that is focused on
what we say is reach and retention. It's this idea of how do we get as many players as possible
playing for as long as possible. And then when we look at our Web3 economy, we say, okay, this is
our monetization and engagement layer. How do we get people engaging with the game in a bunch of different ways, i.e. like economic metagame style, secondary trading, things like that?
And then how do we use that monetization to basically power the rest of the game?
I can go out and sell, you know, $10,000, $5 skins, or I can get one whale to drop, you know, $10,000, $20,000 on betting or an economic metagame item that provides some sort of airdrop and things like that.
And so you see this model in games like Genshin Impact or like the classic Korean Chinese gotchas, whereas it's like everybody else is kind of subsidizing the gameplay.
I mean, it's kind of capitalism in essence.
And we really want to build that model of like everyone else is getting a lot of free content.
And then the folks that are wanting to engage with this, we're giving them multiple ways to engage and monetizing it that way i don't know how deep you want to go into the future of the game
um i think you just kind of mentioned you know you could get a 10k whale to drop and embed on a game
do you i don't know if that's kind of you want to hold that back but do you kind of want to talk
about where you kind of see sparkball in the future and how you're really going to gain that
retention yeah for sure yeah so i i think we've talked a lot about the game itself like let's just
kind of make this wide assumption of like let's assume we have a lot of people playing sparkball
and they like the game and they're sticking around a while what what next um and that's what we call
sparkadia so sparkadia is kind of like our big Web3 platform.
You can almost think about it like a big ecosystem, almost like an L1 that is not an actual chain,
but we're building what we call companion apps on top of it. So every companion app slots into
Sparkadia in some different way to provide some form of engagement with Sparkball. So Sparkadia
has stuff like identity, reputation, achievements, trophies, betting, ultimate team, if you guys have played like FIFA ultimate team, stuff like that.
So our goal is to just continually build out these kind of companion app style engagements with the game.
The betting is obviously the first one.
It's a no brainer to be in this industry and, you know, introduce betting and wagering and things like that as fast as possible.
The AI versus AI element is going to be driving a lot of traction for us
given how good the bots are um and so we want to get into stuff like ai betting on esports and
things like that and then i mentioned kind of the second prong which is ultimate team again if you
guys have done madden ultimate team or fifa ultimate team super super similar it's just
the smart ball ultimate team um and then the last long tail kind of piece on the ecosystem is ugc
and this is obviously the one we're most excited about. If you've seen like Unreal for Fortnite or Roblox, super, super similar. You
can go in and make custom maps or your own heroes or your own skins or whatever. You can token gate
them. You can NFT gate them. You can monetize your own Spark Ball map. So let's say you make
your own Spark Ball map and some heroes and you want to sell skins for those. It's kind of like
Robux for anyone who has like an Eastern nephew or plays roblox themselves um it's it's a little similar to that
so we're kind of enabling user monetization on their own um and being able to create your own
maps which is what i'm most excited about just because i think if you if anyone's old enough to
have played like warcraft 3 or original like starcraft custom maps back in the day um i think
that prolonged the life of the game 10 years hands down so yeah i was kind of talking to some people about just the the betting
feature and they're kind of like it's one dollar in one dollar out how are we gonna make the bets
worth it if you know if there's no one betting on the platform so how are you gonna incentivize
people to drop 10k on the betting and actually yeah so the the first part of betting is just
prop betting
so if you've ever seen like prize picks or fan duel it's the classic like hey i'm linking up
five players together and i'm just predicting over under so you're not necessarily betting
against a direct person like it's not one-to-one on both sides um it's it's kind of that prop
betting nature which is just different if anyone that's done gambling or casino can kind of know how the how the takes and stuff like that on uh how they work there um on the wagering part
um we probably we're gonna be very very careful on like betting against each other like as soon
as you get into hey i can bet on ranked matchmaking games uh you start running into like huge match
match fixing problems anyone that's been in the league ecosystem even knows there's like secondary
betting sites that cause some of these problems sometimes. So we always look at it more
as just like, how do we allow and enable betting on yourself? If I'm climbing a ladder throughout
a day or some type of like ranked matchmaking experience, how do I bet on myself? And I'm
technically betting against the other people in my ladder as well. But if I say, hey, I want to,
you know, put some money down because I think I'm going to go really deep in my ladder as well but if i say hey i want to you know put some money down because i think i'm going to go really deep in this ladder um or this this thing for anybody that's played finals uh
is a really good example there um so i look at it more like that i think you want to avoid the
one-to-one betting like you described until you're 100 sure that there's enough liquidity enough
volume all of these things going on and then proper match fixing stuff is avoided so long
answer but i hope that i hope that explains it at least so you're most excited about just like being people being able
to create like roblox like style maps and the kind of betting feature between ai ai and the game is
that that's pretty much i think those are the two kind of key web3 features that we're looking at
over the next year good chief do you had something you wanted to add i saw you unmuted
no i was just gonna say that i guess guess, interesting and unique take about the betting on yourself, right?
Because inadvertently you are betting against the other team,
but it's almost as if you can open up a long on, let's just say, this rank, right, or this season.
uh is i mean is that kind of the route of going right um i think there is a degree of like hey
I mean, is that kind of the route of going, right?
i can spend extra money to place a bet on myself from a season as a whole and if i you know hit
the top of the ladder top of the rewards ladder or whatever it is i get some total multiplier on
that kind of like hey i'm betting that i'm going to do really well at this. I think I look at it more of like individual match style.
So if you think about, I queue up for ranked matchmaking
and it takes me five games to hit like this little mini tournament finale.
And it's all self-driven or not self-driven.
It's all automatic.
So I am one of 10 teams that queue up for this
little one hour mini tournament if i lose in the first round i'm done it's it's just over but if i
win in the first round i stick with the same team i go to the second round and we just kind of keep
climbing this little mini tournament um so it's almost like a mini esports event uh just on call
i guess what difference would it make for for separating, right? So ideally, let's say, screen one, it's you, me, and Expresso are playing,
and it says, how much do you think you're going to win?
And I say, well, I'll bet $10 on myself, and you bet $10 on yourself.
And Expresso bets $15 on him.
And then, I mean, we go into the game, and in a sense, I mean, loser, winner takes all.
So it's like you're not necessarily betting against him.
You're betting that you will win.
So you have to technically play and excel and you're incentivized to do well for yourself.
I mean, ultimately the money can't, you know, that's direct still peer to peer gambling.
But I mean, I just, that was a novel concept because it seems like as if I can open along
on doing better than you or I could
oh sorry go ahead my bad no no that was it yeah yeah I would think about it more kind of like an
entry fee um so if I say that hey there's this little one hour mini tournament as soon as you
queue up I'm paying an entry fee and I can obviously determine like do I want to buy
10 entry fees worth if I really really believe I'm going to do well here?
So I would look at it like an entry fee, and you're basically saying, I'm spending this entry fee,
and if I do really well, I will get more than my entry fee back.
This is a really popular concept in some of the card games.
Like, if anyone's played, like, the Bazaar or Hearthstone Battlegrounds,
it's basically like, I'm paying a fee to start this run,
and if I make it X distance into the run, I therefore get my money back and get some form of rewards. So I would think about it
more like that than it is actual just betting against the other people, if that makes sense.
And you're even like saying that maybe majority of this won't even be people. These will be like
AI agents you're betting against too, right? Like maybe it'll be both. Yeah. So we'll eventually
have kind
of like an endless ladder type feel uh so the way that our bots work is they get trained specifically
on player data so for example all of the bronze players playing train our bronze bots and all of
our silver players playing train our silver bots so yeah there is kind of a neat little ai component
that'll likely more come into ultimate team this is getting very complicated without like having a document like i'm sure everyone's kind of like this is all over the
place um but we'll we'll show all of this and kind of explain it but i hope that makes a little bit
of sense on how they say yeah it's it's it's you know obviously i think it's fun i think it's
unique i think it's interesting if you guys haven't checked out sparkball they have a youtube
channel called play sparkball i think wolves dial has done some stuff and played games if you guys just want to get a feel of what it's like and what it looks
like without playing on steam you guys go check out their youtube they have like four hour
streams and they have narrators and uh and announcers announcing it i mean everybody
that's played the game has said it's a fun game so jandler i appreciate you stopping by you have
anything to kind of leave us with uh appreciate you no i really appreciate i feel like i just came in and shilled for 10 minutes so i know it's we
have to get people to know what's going on bro it's fine like i mean yeah um no guys i really
appreciate the good questions i i love talking about this stuff and obviously happy to talk
about it anytime uh we'd love to run a game night with you guys obviously um if you guys hit us up
um anyone in here if you have a small little gaming community or or just want to play with
your friends,
feel free to reach out to us in our Discord.
And we've got some cool little prizes
when you host game nights right now.
Because like I said at the beginning,
our goal is really just for you guys to come in
and try out the game and play it.
If you like League of Legends,
if you like Overwatch or Counter-Strike
or basically any competitive Twitch-based multiplayer game,
I think you're really, really going to dig Spark Ball.
So we'd love to have you guys come play it.
But yeah, seriously, thanks for having me. Really cool. Oh, thank you. I
appreciate you stopping by. I mean, it's better. It's better you talk it and then to me to kind of
talk it myself. So we just need to get everybody updated on it. I've been kind of bullposting like
this is this looks dope. This looks great. And just wanted to get the people to actually hear
your voice and actually like actually hear your conviction. I think that kind of what people
wanted to hear. So I appreciate you stopping by, man. I'll be in contact with you later on, man.
Appreciate you.
So there's Chandler from Sparkball.
Obviously, I've been talking about that
for the past two to three weeks.
Obviously, I haven't played the game,
watched a lot of the YouTube.
Definitely trying to get the community to, you know,
get in there and play a few of the games in general.
It's four on four.
We can have up to four people
or we can play some sweats
or we can get eight people
and we can play against each other.
So if you guys are interested in doing that,
maybe in a few weeks,
maybe we can get a kind of a league together
and a gaming night together
and all kind of tackle that.
So yeah, that's definitely interesting
kind of thing to talk about.
And I want to get more into gaming, dude.
I just need to get a better fucking computer, dude.
And maybe Chief can lead me down the road
that I actually need.
Just build one and then you can write it off
There we go, that's maybe I'm literally the move, you know, cuz it's a work computer
Yeah, and you can line shit with it like that's one of those things that's a lot of people are like
Oh, just get a shitty one. It's like no
I mean if you're gonna spend thousands of dollars or you're gonna cash out on a computer
I mean you're doing so with the intention of you you mine hundreds of dollars on tarry you did you know what i'm saying
stuff like that there's always extras you can do with it like grass all that stuff pays off for the
rig that you did so it's not a lost cause and you write it off at the end of the year too so
so good a lot yeah yeah i think in the next two weeks i I'm going to tap in you. I want the fucking 38-inch wraparound screen, bro.
But it's like $1,300 for that thing.
I was like, that thing is epic.
I could put four different screens on the one screen, dude.
Yeah, you can just start building it out, right?
So I got curved monitors.
And then I just have three curved monitors.
But I built out the wraparound how I want it.
So it's all individual.
It's better. It's cheaper. it's just the thing about computer building computers is you want to be able to hunt for deals right because that's a lot of the time you get uh like actual deals and
shit or typically it's it's like here if you want it now you can get it now you're just going to pay
a little bit of an extra premium to get it right now kind of thing. Yeah, I just have some
gaming news to wrap up. Just kind of the gaming section. We have Off the Grid, which has been on
Xbox and PlayStation. They said zeros, the next chapter begin. Off the Grid is coming to Steam
next month, and we will need you on the front lines. You can go on the wishlist right now and
download Off the Grid on Steam right now also fifa rivals announced that they're
coming to avax they have pre-registration is now live for the next generation of mobile football
um they had this big announcement if you guys are interested they have pre-registration and then i
had one kind of upcoming new game that is launching it's called night spawn they just opened their
discord there's only 1k people following this, so it's relatively new.
And their bio says, you've been warned, you've joined anyways, now it begins.
From my understanding, kind of like a little TLDR on this,
it is a free-to-play first-person co-op escape room built on Unreal Engine 5,
published by Uprising, a Premiere Web 3 gaming publisher,
dedicated to delivering engaging
and immersive gaming experiences in the blockchain space.
This is powered by Somnia Network, and this was kind of a stealth launch yesterday.
They just opened up their Discord.
We've been talking about, we had Iceman come up here giving us Somnia stuff.
Kind of seems like that drumbeat has continued to hit, man.
I keep hearing more and more about people who need to get on Somnia.
It's easy.
It's easy a bunch of it's easy and there's ways that you can just sit here and hit some some light farms and some stuff right there's i went through i'm trying to get a better feel for it you know and
then i'm gonna do a little write-up but it's super simple you go every day you can click a little hey
i'm here like a good morning check-in, and boom, you get points, right?
There's something that if you have 111 ApeCoin in your wallet, you get to mint a multiplier, right?
The multiplier is a 20% multiplier in everything you do in that ecosystem, and it's free.
You just have to have 111 ApeCoin. So I just transferred 111 ApeCoin, minted the shit, and then re-bridged
that ApeCoin off and into regular money again, right? So it's like, if you want to sit down and
do this shit, it's not hard. There's only two active campaigns right now for you to get, like,
let's just say, caught up. That's it. All the other campaigns are closed. There's two campaigns that are active. You can
get 14 points from the two campaigns. And it's very, very simple. So, I mean, it's not a lot.
You're not going to be ultimately, you know, caught up with the people that are doing it,
but you're caught up with anything that's available right now. So then anything that
comes out afterwards, you can just stay up to date, right? And then progress where you're at.
But yeah, Somnia is real, real simple.
Once again, it's just go through it and it guides you.
And it has a lot of crossover with Ape, like a lot.
This Ape Ken thing was free if you had the 111 Ape.
There's a BYC booster, right?
So if you hold a Bored board ape uh you get a booster if
you hold a mutant ape you get a booster if you hold a coda you get a booster if you hold an
other deeds you get a booster if you have an uh somnia og plus anything yuga you get another
booster so a lot a lot of uh ape coin overlap in this i wouldn't be surprised if they get a direct airdrop
right or or some um kind of direct part for from it where does like other side like where does
the other side live does it live on like ape chain or like maybe other side get ported over
to somnia at some point i don't know dude yeah i don't know yeah it has so much crossover yeah i just didn't i
i started looking more into it i looked and i'm like damn this is a lot of like yuga shit and
then it's not one or two it's like you can if you hold up to 25 board apes you get
you know multiplier plus each board ape per board ape same thing for mutant apes and a lot of these
people hold a lot of that shit like in sets.
Right.
So it's almost like it's going to make some set holders of Yuga ecosystem a good chunk of change if it ends up being anything.
Have we ever seen a game that's like an escape room kind of Web3 game?
There was one called like Mystery Game.
That was like an idler clicker one a while back, but that kind of vanished off and faded.
Have you done Escape Room in IRL before?
It's pretty fun. It's pretty interesting.
I think I'd get stressed if I got some dumb teammates or something.
Yeah, I agree. Go ahead.
I'll append up to the top all the details about Popkins.
The mid-date is May 29th.
You can check your pack allocation as of the 26th.
And obviously, mid-date the 29th or whatever.
Pack distribution will be a couple days after, right?
It'll be the 3rd and the 4th of June.
And then they reveal on the 5th of June.
So, it says, Major Key Alert.
This is extremely important.
When reviewing your allocation, make sure you set your main SWE wallet as the primary.
This assures that all the Popkin mints are properly delegated to that wallet.
properly delegated to that wallet. Tickets, your access to the pass. On mint day, tickets are
Tickets, your access to the pass.
publicly priced at $200 each and are open to everyone. Each ticket is a soulbound collectible
that secures your pack. Mint as many as you want. Your packs will be distributed shortly after. On
reveal day, you'll have a chance to either pull an escape or a legendary, and it's that what we were
telling you, you get your money back, right?
Pop or bust.
Popkins can be found inside minted booster packs.
Each pack is filled with digital rewards.
Every mint offers a chance to catch a popkin, but not every attempt will succeed.
Here's how it works.
Mint a legacy pack.
You get to keep the popkin and any of the bonus rewards inside mint an escape
pack that means that your popkins got away and your mint cost is fully refunded and you get to
keep all the other rewards inside the pack right there are three different popkin packs here all
with unique distribution method purple equal escape pack no popkins full reward keep
extra rewards full refund sorry keep extra rewards uh gold it's a legendary pack popkins are
guaranteed and then rat pack are exclusive based off of what you hold in the clay nose ecosystem
and those are blue so if you guys are looking forward to this, right?
The different, you can see all the different characters too.
And it actually tells you like just a ranking system, right?
On their leaderboard and kind of,
cause people are gonna be minting multiples.
So full breakdown is there.
You also get a preview of some of the art,
some of the iterations so y'all
check it out a nice little infograph if you're confused but it is participate if you want an
asset right you're guaranteed one no matter what or your money back and then you can just use that
same money to keep going until you actually get a popkin so yeah Yeah, I'm going to be on this.
I think this is going to be doing good.
There's just a few things on Abstract.
We had Raj on here the other day.
And I was asking, what are some under the radar games on there?
And it was Moody Madness.
And they had like a little announcement on it yesterday.
The new racing game on Abstract.
I think some people have actually been playing it on test net,
but they had like a little thread on what Moody Madness is.
It's a on-chain multiplier racing game built on abstract featuring mean
guilds, NFT power carts, and chaotic gameplay players,
race, earn XP, and win NFTs and meme coins and engage in tournaments.
And then have some gameplay here kind of, it's of like the up-only game a little bit that
Goblin Town did, where there's kind of like a Mario Kart with up-only up kind of combination.
So what stages are there in? Now, the projects in beta are Diamond Rush. Right now, where streamers
and users that win a giveaway can earn early access to the game. The early access lasts May 14th through the 28th.
When you gain access, you can get a head start in earning gas cans,
collect gems daily, and prepare the future tournaments.
What is the importance of gas cans and gems?
Gas cans are the point system of the game,
and you can earn them through daily and weekly quests.
There are some secret leaderboards where the top players and most of the gas cans have a fire emoji around their profile picture and get whitelisted for upcoming mints.
The gems are in-game currencies of Moody Madness.
Where can I start playing and compete for whitelists?
After the Diamond Rush ends on June 2nd, there will be a low-cost Battle Pass
that grants access to play the game. The Padded Pass allows you to earn gems, and I believe you
can earn skins as well, speculative. During that phase is where everyone will have a chance to earn
a Glowing Aura on your PFP, similar to the 7-7 bit. You earn Abstract XP by playing the game.
the 7-7 bit you earn abstract xp by playing the game in a maze run we have a goat bronze and
platinum earn double alpha is near at the end of the clip so definitely something definitely
getting involved with this uh definitely look like there's some incentive especially early
um obviously the event they told you ends on the 28th so if you guys are interested in that game
raj basically said it was fun and it looks fun.
Like I said, the Mario Kart mixed with Up Only.
So they had that.
And then a very popular guild back in the day was YGG Guild.
I think they were popularized because of Xe Infinity and Ronin.
It looks like they're turning into more of a gaming publisher company.
And they're launching LOL Land, is a vibrant Monopoly Go-style browser game
built on Abstract for Web3D gens and casual gamers.
Roll, traverse colorful boards,
and snag YGG tokens, points, and entities
featuring Pudgy Penguin community members.
It's a playful yet rewarding adventure.
So there's a thread there if you guys are interested.
Just another game launching on Abstract.
We have Frankie's Diner launching.
Just everybody is launching on Abstract, which makes sense.
The Frankie's team come through next week,
and they're going to hook us up with some tickets for, you know, TDA.
And just, yeah, they're going to give us the lowdown.
He wanted to come once the game is live, so that way there's,
here's a ticket, go play.
Not, oh, you know, it's coming soon kind of thing.
So, yeah, it should be sometime next week, either Tuesday or Wednesday.
We'll hear a little bit more about Frankie's Diner,
and Jonah's been cooking on that for a while too.
Yeah, we had Fuggs mint out today.
5-5-5-5-5.
Dude, that's sad for real quick.
I mean, for anyone that wants to sit here or get upset uh if they get upset when secondary comes up i mean
you're already up uh half of your money right 50 already up on top of mint price but yeah they sat
for about 10 to 15 minutes uh on the site so a lot of this stuff same thing with germelios that
that went crazy so a lot of this stuff isn't necessarily just minting out due to I don't know maybe people not having
Money on abstract I think it's mintify dude. No. Yeah, I mean maybe mintify
But I like maybe not having money on abstract either or something like that like it's a combination of the two
But yeah, it just sat I went over there. I got one more
Real quick real easy. I had enough time to bridge money over and mint one without an issue.
So just consider that.
Yeah, it did pretty well. I mean, I was sitting there speculating to buy more and I was like, I'll just wait.
And Zubik, I interviewed Space Riders on the DGEN showcase before they minted back in 2022.
And I had actually Cab on the show.
And there it looks like he's the visual artist behind the Space Riders.
And they're dropping a 888-piece collection on Abstract called Abstracts.
Abstracts, I guess.
Mint goes live May 27th, .02 ETH.
That's $58 dollars few communities will
have whitelist uh that's one of the expected that will go quick turn on notifications for the goat
legacy so just some everybody's just launching on abstract and it's like yesterday i was just
kind of bombarded with everybody from grifters to just legitimate people just like i guess decided
all to announce that they're launching something um in coming future. So we'll see how it all goes, man. Seems a little bit frothy over
there. But you know, I was kind of mentioning how Kato was a bit frothy and how we need to start
looking at virtuals. Well, there was another virtuals airdrop today called Nancy AI. I think
it was a $100 airdrop. and people were talking about how they staked
virtuals and they got up to $650 worth of Nancy AI for pledging 30k points.
That's a lot though, bro. That's a lot. So like I did it, right? Yesterday I went,
I staked an ETH worth of Kato. Let that chill. I woke up. I had 430 points. But the thing is, you pledge points,
but you also have to put money up and put virtuals. So you pledge your points, you put
your virtuals in, and then you get back your allocation and your refund, right? There's
penalties if you sell, right? Too soon. You can only sell up to 10 or else you're on a a cool down like a 10 day
cool down and you can't participate you're not yielding so there's a couple stipulations
but i participated in one called cap uh or something cap em all cap minnell or something
i pledged 469 points uh and i put uh 6.9 virtuals in there.
It roughly came out to out the gate.
I mean, I made one virtual if I sold it or something.
I staked it.
I'm at like 20 bucks, right?
I put 15 and I'm at 20.
So we'll see how this plays out.
I mean, I'm seeing that most people are going full allocation, right?
So you got to put your points up
and then you have to put 566 virtuals up,
which is max allo.
And that's how people are kind of starting to cycle
and make some bread.
But depending on what agent you stake
and this and that, you get more points.
But if you don't have points,
it doesn't matter how much virtual you have,
you can't participate without those virgin points.
So we'll see how it goes. mean today's my first interaction besides just flat staking right yesterday i staked it takes i think 24 hours till you get dripped it out and then you
can start making moves yeah even that versions token i think it's like 14 million dollars
yesterday that one's cooking that one's from the actual vader team as a meme point from them and they're like just doing buyback and burns and all that you know
yep so even we talked about it i think it was at nine to ten you still i mean i'm not saying like
10 10 million to 14 millions a lot but i mean that even continued to cook and then obviously
the nancy ai thing today and then one thing I saw just like distribute AI, they now have a different FDV compared to their market cap now.
So I saw that coming. You weren't able to swap using other than Meteora pools. And now you can
swap them within Phantom, which is kind of creating some sell pressure. But that got all
the way up to $70 million yesterday before everybody was able to swap out of their Phantoms in yesterday.
So nice little cook for anybody that got into the Distribute AI presale.
$15 million is breakeven.
Got all the way up to $70 million yesterday.
And then obviously when you have all the liquidity pools together
and you didn't have to go through Meteora and you can swap in your Phantoms,
obviously people are probably going to, you know,
people got scared this morning and then swap out.
But still see a lot of people talking about it.
And they're obviously going to have some sex listings and stuff.
But that was a nice little win for the TDA community that got in.
So I don't have much left, Chief.
Do you have anything else you wanted to kind of talk about before we end the show?
I'll give it one second.
I was just going to search through it.
No, I mean, not really.
I think everything else. I do want to leave one little chart uh this is
something that i thought was a super useful piece of information um came from ad over there at
leverage labs uh he's just talking about everyone you know everyone's looking for bitcoin dominance
to go down right and kind of really understanding what it means and how it goes. And so he posted up a dope little chart that just explains what happens right when Bitcoin dominance goes up versus what Bitcoin does versus then the alts.
Right. Or what the alts should do or what we would want them to do.
So if anyone wants some type of reference, I just thought that was a dope little chart.
If anyone's worried or trying to make, you know, position themselves for the future and kind of looking at the bitcoin dominance aspect
of it uh yeah that's one of them but it's not gonna happen dude this whole like this cycle
that we thought we we've seen in the past isn't gonna happen because bitcoin dom is never going
to go down because now all the institutions are buying etfs and like you're not gonna have them
selling their bitcoin to go into fucking your
meme coins. It's just not going to happen. That's not,
it's not the same cycle. It's not going to happen.
I will say one thing I want to leave.
I gave this to us a while back and I told people to get ready.
We say get ready with Somnia, right?
Somnia right and to pick up your Somnia testnet your STT or whatever this Bambi is the quote-unquote
And to pick up your Somnia test net, your STT or whatever.
Most hype mint on Somnia right now. It is free
They're about to do their hey mint this for free and get this on mainnet mint in the next five minutes or so ten minutes
So if you guys listen when you know, we said hey go get some somnia like two day a week
ago or something uh this is it right three days ago sorry it's when we covered it four days ago
so if you have some it shouldn't be expensive right but i don't think one faucet hit is going
to be able to get you this but go check out bambi i'll give you one second english before i want to
do these last two things and you can go off on me. Moto did this.

Next week, capsules are getting major upgrade staking,
staking more capsules for longer periods of time,
maximize rewards and bonus allocations.
This is holders only, who still needs a capsule?
And the very last thing was there's this new thing
called AskSplat, still needs a capsule and the very last things was there's this new um this new thing called
ask splat um which is a um ai trading companion smarter faster they have a whole thread up here
you guys could read about season one but eb7 came out and said he's behind it and eb7 it was one of
those god tier um ape traders back in the day. He used to trade rare apes for basically,
you know, rare ones for basic ones
and basic ones for rare ones.
So he's behind the SPLAT token
and there seems to be some kind of season
that you could do right now to get points and stuff.
You guys could read the thread for yourself.
It's a nine point thread.
So just want to throw that up there.
I heard a lot of people talking about SPLAT
in the past few weeks. The fact eb7 is behind it gives me
a little bit more confidence that this could be something but go ahead english go ahead my guy
you know you think all coin season's going to be the same like it's always been i think bitcoin
dominance is never going to go down i don't know well hopefully you can hear me i'm in the car but
no i don't know i think i think a couple of things i I think before you could look at Bitcoin dominance
and get a better gauge of what's going on with other riskier assets
because there was less coins.
There was just less shit.
There was just a few L1s, a couple of things like that.
You had Ethereum as the dominant thing.
The Bitcoin dominance chart gave you...
I thought it was just a better tool than it was now.
I think what you have to look
at instead of looking at Bitcoin dominance because that includes like memes that are huge you know
like Pepe and shit that are like almost a top 20 coin or it was a top 20 coin at one point and so
like shit like that fluctuates what you want to look at is your specific alt that you're looking
at whether that's a meme coin whether that's's an L1, whether that's, you know, hyperliquid, whatever the fuck,
and look at, like, the BTC pair, and, like, how has it done?
And then whatever TA you use, if you use indicators, MACDs,
you know, basically if it's made a new all-time high,
you're probably in good things,
and then just look for, like, bullish catalysts,
whether that's from, like, a TA perspective,
or whether that's from, like, if you're a driven person, you know, whatever, whatever you use, but what does
that equate to? Like, if you're in the thesis of like XRP and the normie is going to buy it,
like even though we all know it's kind of just a meme scam for normies, but if you're bullish on
that, you know, and XRP is made, you know, a close to an all time high, it's not an all time high,
Sharpe's made, you know, close to an all-time high, if not an all-time high.
You know, SWE, obviously Solana, things like that, you know, I think just look at the pair, look how it looks.
And then I do think, I think people will naturally, but we'll have it short.
I think it's going to be weeks, you know, like the same thing that we saw in November last time and we thought it means.
November last time and we thought it means maybe we see a flash of that probably not as strong.
Maybe we see a flash of that, probably not as strong.
Maybe we see some really bullish news come out from SWE after this whole hack thing or whatever.
And like there's some new killer app. I don't know what it is.
You know, maybe XRP buys or whatever, all whatever you want to look at.
I think there is money to be made outside of just Bitcoin, you know, engulfing everything.
I think you just have to be selective and you can't just think, okay,
Ethereum is going to run here.
So everything's going to run like coin.
And, um, you know, I don't know, fucking polka dot,
whatever else kind of other shit that people used to look at.
Um, I think that's, I think there's, there's money to be made.
And I'm kind of getting bullish on, on selective all here.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I think it's not like when everybody says all Quinn season, they think like the previous altcoin seasons was all alts went
to Valhalla now is like there's so many tokens there's not enough liquidity for all alts so
it's going to be select all season and the real true builders and winners and maybe use kids and
I even think some scams will pump but I don't think that all the coins that have been created
in the past year are going to you know go to valhalla it's going to be select winners and select communities and
that's kind of uh what you need to be looking for right so kind of yeah i mean i i think almost all
of them will see a bump right like if btc keeps pumping and then like ethereum pumps and solana
pumps like everything will see a pump it'll it'll probably just be another like lower high on like
the whole like btc pair right
like so like what the is the point you know unless you're scalping or whatever but if you're like
swing trading or investing long term it makes a little sense like get the that you like you
know and and that will move the hardest if you're if you're even going to dabble in that you know
yeah 100 100 i appreciate you coming up giving giving your viewpoint. Like I said, we host a space Tuesday through Saturday from 1015 to 12. We'll have a show tomorrow. Starts a little bit later.
