Having a bit issues with the phone this morning.
Looks to be I create the space on my iPhone and then I have the burner phone, which is
an Android, and it looks like there's some kind of merger issue with the fact that the
iPhone creates it and then the Android tries to start it.
It won't actually let you apply a co-host.
I had my mom in that space and then have her run the space on Android and then that's making
I don't know what's going on, but on Saturday, I created the space when I dropped my son off
at my mom's and it worked.
Then this morning, I created the space on my iPhone and then she tried to start it and
it was unable to fetch and then when it was started, it wouldn't actually let me co-host.
There's an issue with the iPhone and Android integration.
So that seems to be the issue.
There wouldn't be technical issues.
It wouldn't be TDA if there wasn't technical issues.
So appreciate you guys coming out.
We run the space Tuesday through Saturday from 945 to about 12.
So we do appreciate you have reminders set coming back whenever the space, you know, got fucked
We got Trill up here too.
How you doing this morning, my guy?
I'm glad you got it all worked out.
If you want to add me as a co-host, it's cool.
Or if Devil's coming up here, just in case.
I'll send her a text to send you a co-host.
Send Trill a co-host, please.
And Trill, you got your fucking account back.
I don't even know which one you're using right now.
You're using the old one.
Yeah, Josh has been going through it too.
And then all of a sudden, I got it back.
Should I update the TDA bio with your new one or your old one?
Yeah, I just thought about that too.
I was about to DM you about it.
I was like, yeah, might as well use this one.
And then we can figure out how I can use the other one.
I think that's something we can do.
I mean, it does have more followers.
Now you, I mean, you built up two accounts.
So they can't stop you now, baby.
You got like 10,000 followers now across two accounts.
But just glad to have this one back, dude.
Like right when we were doing ordinals.
And like all this stuff has a bunch of ordinal content.
So I'm glad to have it back.
Do you know why you got suspended?
Dude, you know what's funny?
When they reinstated my account, they gave me the reasons why I got suspended.
Rather, during the times of me like going like asking for it.
So yeah, I thought that was funny.
But yeah, it was just like random stuff.
Like, I guess GMing too much.
That's what I kind of got from it.
Did that non-fungible guy, did you boot him?
Yeah, he started posting shit.
I've never seen someone move so fast to pin something.
Yeah, you got to be chief for the next two days, right?
Like, anybody gets out of line, you boot them, you get in, you know, get in that villain
arc and cuss them out and tell them like, this is the TDA.
Yeah, I've actually been thinking about that.
Like, getting really chief since he's not here.
So yeah, I think I can handle that.
But yeah, guys, thanks for coming up to TDA.
I mean, not too crazy a weekend, but it's been a good weekend.
Roons, you know, had its day.
Kind of look like we're tracing here a little bit.
But going over to what's happening today.
And you guys, you know, I love the moon cycles.
Motherfucking full moon today.
And full moon means price go up.
So I'm looking at the price to go up today.
We have the full moon and it is tonight.
And from the past one, I guess the last full moon.
I don't know if that's a full moon or if that's a half moon, but we dumped into it.
But I don't know what that...
I just pinned up a chart.
We have the white dots look like full moons.
And maybe that's the end of the full moon phase is a dump.
But it looks like we got a white dot here, which we have a full moon tonight.
And the last one we went up parabolically.
So, yeah, people are saying, hey, check out the moon phases.
Looks like we're going to get one tonight.
So we'll see how that goes.
Chris, do you follow the moon phases like I do?
Ever since Maren got me into this, I've been keeping track of this.
And it looks like we got a full moon tonight.
So Maren is also very good at technical analysis.
And I think that it is an easy way for her to help people believe in the...
Because see, TA is astrology for men.
And so it's just like her bridging the gap.
But it is very interesting what happened during the last bull cycle.
You could mark it off on the chart.
And the moon actually did call tops and bottoms for like 11 out of 13.
It was literally unbelievable.
But that's just how the moon works.
And it's just coincidence, right?
Like, all of Bitcoin's history.
You could never find a year that hit 11 of 13.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I mean, it was just unbelievable.
So you have to think about how you feel.
I know this sounds so gay.
But you have to kind of think about how you feel when the moon phase is occurring.
And if you do have some angst or you do have...
And I, again, know this is going to sound like mythical.
But sometimes when I have like a negative mood or sentiment.
And I know something like the moon is coming or retrograde or some shit.
I sometimes do open shorts.
Because like, I don't know why I feel funky.
And like, maybe other people do too.
And I don't actually know what the effect of the moon on the human body is.
But I know like through history, our ancestors believed in it.
Like, so we can like speculate all we want.
But I think there is this general consensus.
Like, it's almost like when someone's super bullish and they're like, I can fucking feel it in my bones.
Well, you can usually feel like bearish sentiment in your stomach also, right?
But we've all kind of adopted delusion and grandeur here.
So you probably have like a mental disability that makes you lie to yourself.
But most of you know when it's coming.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you can feel it, dude.
Just like right now, when you look at Bitcoin, I'm not feeling very anxious, bud.
I'm feeling pretty optimistic.
And so I don't know if the moon tonight has an effect.
But I definitely wouldn't write that off because I've seen weirder shit.
You know what they say is, millionaires don't use astrology for trading.
And I wonder why that is.
But I do feel that like the moon does kind of bring out something subliminal in us.
I don't know if it's angst or if it's anxiety or if it's something.
But you know, typically people are like, you know, werewolves come out.
You know, people act crazy during a full moon.
I got some packages out here for you.
This is what happens when you, when you work while you use spaces.
Uh, so, um, but yeah, I think the full moon.
And the lady can still see and hear him talking.
Like she knows that he's talking to what looks like himself right now.
But for all she knows, her FedEx driver is fucking crazy.
Um, but yeah, she had the ring doorbell and she had an answer machine on the ring doorbell.
And then she answered the ring doorbell and she's home.
So we delivered those packages and now we're leaving.
But yeah, man, we got full moon tonight.
Um, we've had runes this weekend.
I mean, Chris, how are we feeling about runes?
I have heard some complaints and I didn't really think about this one.
And maybe you have some knowledge of this based off your relationships with people overseas that the Chinese people aren't having a great time with these runes.
Cause they don't understand like these 13, these 13 letters, the stuff isn't equating, uh, to be funny with them.
Uh, the fact that a lot of these stickers are in English.
We're not like, I don't know.
I've heard people complaining that the Chinese community isn't having fun with runes and they don't understand these runes.
And these stickers are too long for them to court, like to figure this shit out.
Are the Chinese not having fun?
Isn't that what we wanted was them to come in and like double down on this, like they do with BRC twenties.
I think you have to be intelligent about it.
Um, just so everyone knows the word intergalactic does translate perfectly fine to Chinese.
Um, but also it's the, okay.
I don't want to really have this conversation cause it sounds negative, but the way that
runes works is similar to BTC.
And since the tools don't exist to make it easy for users to split UTXOs with runes, because it's kind of complicated,
which will be fixed pretty soon.
But for the average person, it's not as easy as going to Luminex and creating UTXOs with your Bitcoin.
You can actually only send the entire balance per transaction, which is technically how Bitcoin works also.
And then the requested amount is used inside of that transaction and the rest is returned to you.
So what I'm seeing as far as complaints from people on the other side of the world who speak Mandarin as their primary language,
they're telling me that the most frustrating part is that they can't break down their runes into smaller orders on these exchanges.
Now on an exchange like cube that uses order books, you can, but it's not accessible to people in the U.S. as an example, right?
And I also found out that in China, in order to use these exchanges, unless you're like specifically a citizen of Hong Kong,
if you're trying to use these exchanges, these guys actually have to buy IDs that are either Vietnamese IDs or Palau IDs.
Now, apparently this is very common for people to use like finance or Huobi or something like that.
But I don't think OKEx requires this.
So what's happening is OKEx is working very similarly to Unisat minus losing everyone's money.
OKEx would never do that, right?
But it is happening where when people are trying to list, you only have the bulk amount.
And with fees being so high, I think people in other countries aren't trying to pay like 30, 40 bucks to transfer their runes to a couple of different wallets
so that they can sell lower increments.
Because like I don't know if that's by design to force people to create more active wallets on Bitcoin or something.
But essentially, if you want to sell like, if you have a million of a rune and you want to sell 150,000,
you literally have to send some Bitcoin and 150,000 runes to a new wallet and then go sell the 150,000 runes from that wallet
because it's going to force you to sell all 150,000.
Again, unless you're using an order book like Cube, which isn't accessible to everyone.
So we're trying to work with MEXC right now.
And they asked if we could provide some documentation to help with the integration of runes into MEXC.
Because I think that as far as using runes on an exchange or through a platform or inside of a game,
like anything, products and services, payment rails for clothes, all that makes sense because it works exactly like Bitcoin.
And then a person might say, well, why wouldn't we just use Bitcoin then?
Well, because you can create more fungibility out of 546 sats, right?
You take 546 satoshis, you bundle that into this UTXO, and then you basically inscribe JSON on top of that,
which gives you these 300 million tokens.
That's like the most basic form of it, okay?
So now I've turned 546 satoshis into a 300 million token supply.
So even if there are a few issues with this, this is superior, in my opinion, from like a logic perspective than even on, you know, my name is Solana Chris.
But let's just briefly say you don't really need an SPL token for utility.
Like Solana itself is so cheap and efficient that you could just use Solana for all applications and games on Solana.
And even if it went up in value using fractions of Solana or USDC, it's just so fast and so cheap.
So the truth is, when you're looking at tokens on ETH or Solana, there really is something psychological to it.
But when you're looking at runes on Bitcoin, it is actually adding like, like it's truly adding fungibility.
Like Bitcoin itself is not that fungible and sats can be very expensive and unit bias is really a problem for a lot of people who see the price and they get shocked.
But when you create runes, you can actually still adopt and onboard people who have that unit bias or maybe who don't have as much funds and don't want to buy satoshis.
But then you also can confirm faster using runes.
Like if you try to send Bitcoin to MEXC, it's going to make you wait somewhere between like 26 minutes to 30 minutes to actually use it because or like any of these exchanges, they normally make you wait for three confirmations.
But see, runes actually updates the balance after one confirmation.
So hypothetically, sending runes to MEXC and using them would be faster than sending Bitcoin and using it.
So I just think this is really fucking interesting, dude.
And we're going to see so many front end.
I mean, I'm already getting DM'd a lot of things from a lot of people that they're doing.
And I mean, airdrop tools are coming.
You guys can already easily etch and mint.
You can already split your UTXOs for nothing.
Like Magic Eden's live, Unisets live.
So the only problem we have to really, and I understand how to solve it, you use Rust code to solve it.
And that is literally being worked on right now.
Where when a person wants to send less tokens to the exchange, it can basically facilitate with that transfer so that you don't have to use your whole balance.
And once they solve that problem, I think people will quit panicking.
And you guys will just notice that one confirmation is better than three.
And having 300 million tokens is going to onboard more users than having 546 Satoshis.
Flame, do you argue with that?
I mean, I think splitting the runes up was one of the biggest issues that I saw this weekend.
People didn't know how to do it.
With Wenko, Manko is obviously a clear winner.
And a lot of people stumbled across that.
And a lot of the packs were like 10K.
And at the price, the only people that could get exposure are people that were willing to spend $3,000 per pack.
So they even kind of said, we need to figure this out.
So Mr. Tax says how to split up your runes into smaller lots.
Open a fresh taproot wallet and Unisad wallet.
Find the address with one of the UTXOs for the fee and one rune UTXO that needs to be split.
Go to the ordinalswallet.com slash wallet and connect your new Unisad address.
Click the transfer and do plus to add transfers.
And each transfer amount, put a smaller lot size.
You would like up the fee if you choose.
Send, sign transaction, and Unisad.
Those are now smaller lots that are ready to list after three confirmations.
It's a nice little thread.
But yeah, there is a lot of new people that haven't participated on BRC20s or don't understand how this is really working.
And splitting up these into smaller batches was a big issue.
And kind of creating this downward pressure for a lot of these tokens.
Because people that were new didn't want to spend $3,000 on a token.
So this is how you do it.
Now that we have that out of the way.
I mean, obviously, looking at the tokens over the weekend, you know, on a clear downtrend since kind of the parabolic movement over the weekend.
But I mean, there are clear winners on these rooms.
And it's obviously, you know, we have Satoshi Nakamoto.
And I guess that's like the top three in my opinion.
But, you know, we still have a lot of these pre-runes that are yet to go live.
And now that we have Magic Eden officially going live, I'm imagining that those kind of pre-runes are going to start being deployed over the next two or three days.
And we're going to see, like, the teams that have actually done this for the past two or three months actually now start their marketing and set up what they actually got going on.
So I did see the pre-runes thing as something that was kind of bleeding over the weekend.
But I still think the people that have the pre-runes, those are the best teams and the best builders, and they have yet to deploy.
So I'm waiting for that, too.
But we've got some hands up.
We'll say what's up to Flame and then double.
How are you doing this morning, my guy?
Yeah, the whole runes thing is still pretty sticky.
You know, it still feels like BRC20 because you've got to split things up.
And it's unattractive to people overseas because the rune ticker names are also in English and kind of weird.
A lot of bullshit, clogging up the mempool, a lot of cash-grabby stuff.
However, early adopters typically are rewarded if they pick the right tickers.
And I think we're going to see some of that as the tech develops and unfolds.
You know, it clearly has an inside track on some of that, which is cool.
Spill more tea as it becomes available, please.
We definitely want to know how we can improve our situations here.
But, you know, it's developing quickly.
It's developing faster than the tech developed for BRC20 because we're further ahead.
You know, Ordinals Tech developed fast because, you know, the groundwork had already been established because of NFTs and other things on other networks.
And devs are hungry to build.
So as frustrating and weird as the situation feels to me and a lot of other people in certain aspects, I still think it's exciting.
And I still think that there's plenty of room to grow and probably a lot of money to be made.
You know, the minute one of these things hits Binance, I think we're off to the races, as a lot of people have been saying.
That's not an original thought.
But, you know, I think we just need to be patient and not fritter away our sats on, you know, on speculation and gambling unless you've got sats to fritter away.
I mean, you know, there's new tickers popping up all the time.
You can try to mint them and blow your stacks on fees and do whatever you want.
But, you know, I'd be laying in the cut, too, and just waiting to see if some of the stuff that's hot right now corrects, you know, maybe DCA into it a little bit if you can.
That's the tricky part right now.
If someone wants to buy a 10,000 token bag for 15 grand, you know, it's like it's a little tricky right now.
And you can break up your runes, you know, like you can send them to yourself.
There's ways to do that now today that are easier than it was yesterday.
There's all kinds of stuff.
And that being said, I do have some alpha to share a few things, actually.
And it's all pretty new stuff.
Some of it's just Twitter accounts because people are just on it right now.
You know, which I love to see.
But one of the first things is that CPFC support is now live in Rune Blaster, which is a killer tool that Leafofifo put out.
If you're a Wizard of Ord holder, it will go public soon.
So keep your eyes out for that.
That's been a great tool for minting runes in bulk.
And from my understanding, the fees aren't as bad as some of the other platforms.
And then there's some just sort of cryptic stuff that's popping up.
There's this new account called Nine World Runes.
It kind of looks like it's connected to that runes.
I forget what it's called.
The runes that people got airdropped that are like artistic looking.
That's what it looks like.
But I'm not 100% on that.
And then there's another situation called Teletypes.
Again, this is just brand new shit.
It's a BTC based OS for asset gamification.
And it's just it's a brand new Twitter account.
And then also a little bit of alpha on the Fehu situation.
They put out a tweet saying that they do not recommend minting it in a high fee environment.
There are 1,111,111 available mints.
A large number chosen intentionally so people do not have to feel rushed.
And FOMO in during runes hype and high transaction fees.
There will be no immediate benefit to minting Fehu.
So, you know, this alongside uncommon goods.
Some of the chatter about these is mint one to your wallet just in case it proves to be of some benefit for holding.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
But, you know, these guys are basically coming out and saying don't mint any right now.
So minting more than one into a wallet probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
And apparently there's like a 99% hold back on this.
So I would be wary of this one in general, but we don't really know anything else.
So, you know, again, I think the big message in all of this is just be careful.
You know, it's brand new, it's topsy-turvy, it's volatile, there's corrections, there's FOMO, same old story, new playing field.
However, it's a new playing field on Bitcoin and there's all sorts of room for improvement and adoption.
So, you know, just be smart.
And then like Magic Eden is now partnered with Luminex.
I did notice that whenever I was minting on Saturday or was it, I don't forget, they had a market tab that was disabled.
And I was like, why isn't this going?
Like Luminex is going to have their own marketplace.
It looks like that market button is going to click you right into Magic Eden.
And then looking at the runes kind of protocol or I guess their little introduction to Magic Eden, there's another tab up there that looks to be disabled too.
And it's the swap feature.
So it looks like you're going to be able to swap your runes.
Like if, say, you have Satoshi Nakamoto and you want to get Arsic, you'll be able to swap those directly.
So that's an improvement from BRC20s whenever that goes live.
The fact that you can, you know, transfer your runes to different runes.
That's kind of more like what we like experienced on Solana and, you know, Solana and Ethereum with like Uniswap, be able to swap meme coins.
So that's an improvement.
And I like the fact that Luminex and Magic Eden are working together to facilitate this experience.
They're doing a pretty good job.
I think everybody's using Luminex and Magic Eden now.
So that is definitely an improvement.
And like the risk of deploying Arun in this high fee market, there's a lot of down.
It's a lose-lose situation because, you know, people are minting.
And this isn't just like an NFT where it mints out and the floor price is 2x.
People are minting basically something for free and spending $80 to $90 on transaction fees.
And then like after it mints out, you know, obviously the floor price is going to be lower than the amount you spent.
So I really think if you are, you know, trying to mint a ticker or mint a rune, wait till, you know, fees are low in a few weeks.
And where you can, you know, mint this stuff for under like $10, I mean, it's risk averse.
Like, okay, you're spending 10 bucks.
It's under, I lost 10 bucks.
But now in this market, you're losing 80 bucks and the floor automatically after mints out, it's like down 60%.
So if you are, if you do want to mint these, these tickers, wait a few weeks when VBytes are lower, where like the people minting, aren't, you know, wasting a hundred bucks on fees.
They're, they're wasting, you know, two to 10, maybe $20 if it gets there.
And yeah, you lose 20 bucks, but you're not losing a hundred bucks instantly.
So I think if you are trying to mint, wait a few weeks, will the VBytes and like, I think that's where we're going to see a lot of the good memes is when, you know, the fees are low and we can just degen out and we don't have to really worry about wasting a lot of fees to deploy this stuff.
But also the mentors don't have to waste a lot of fees to like, take a, take a stab and throw a dart at the board.
So that's kind of my suggestion is if you are waiting to deploy a ticker, wait till like, wait a few weeks.
You don't have to do it all in one day.
And then that, that'll be a lot easier for everybody that is minting that.
So, uh, what's up double?
Uh, yeah, I, I think, um, my, my biggest thing is like, uh, the, the magic eating thing.
What I, I don't understand why they decided to go the same route as like the BRC 20, uh, I guess probably for speed reasons, or I guess, uh, getting to the market as quick as possible.
But like, that's the biggest thing for me when I saw that, like, there's no basic list of like, what's trending, what's the market cap?
You know, what's the top coin?
There's no like easy way to visualize what's going on.
And it continued to happen through magic eating.
I was hoping they would fix that, but you know, it just looks like they pretty much took the same UX of, uh, Unisat made a few improvements on terms of like how you find sell.
But obviously there's more to come.
So I think now that, that, that everything is kind of down, could be a good buying opportunity.
I don't see them going away.
But my question was anyone on the panel, whatever happened to BRC 20 in the first place?
Cause I remember at the beginning, like, you know, there was tons of traffic, like it was outperforming every other chain, right?
It's like BRC 20 was like volume was crazy.
And then all of a sudden it just died out.
Does anybody know exactly like what happened there?
I think the momentum got stolen when Casey announced Runes.
People are like, okay, this isn't a long-term option.
Why would I be taking long-term bets on it?
So once Casey announced that, you know, Runes is coming out.
I think that kind of put the momentum on the side of people just continue there.
Cause there was a point in time, um, where we saw some of the top volume was all BRC 20s.
It was rats, sats, all that shit was getting listed on Binance.
And then like the Runes narrative started coming closer and closer.
And everybody's like, why would I buy this stuff when there's going to be a new protocol launched by the founder of Ordinal?
So I think the Runes kind of put a, put a squash in that.
So, but why, uh, the thing I don't understand if the Runes announcement is what got me to die off.
Why are people like, um, upset that it's very similar to BRC 20, right?
Cause they were doing that before.
It's not like that's very confusing.
If they were doing all that volume before on BRC 20, why would they be upset with that same, um, with that same, uh, like UX or flow?
That's kind of confusing to me.
I feel like that wouldn't be a big deal.
I get the ticker thing, but if, you know, I'm pretty sure they know what Satoshi Nakamoto means, right?
If that's number one and it's, it's pumping what, I don't see what the big deal is there.
It feels like it's the expectation though, right?
Like, cause everyone was kind of coining them as, as meme coins and shit coins.
Um, and so if you look at the timeline, everyone's like, where's the charts, right?
Um, so I think that's kind of a part of it as well.
Like everyone was kind of looking for a, maybe like a bird eye.
I think the majority of the, the majority of the people, I don't think in the Ordinal space that came over, I don't think they participated in BRC.
I think the majority of the people that are here in the past three months all got into Ordinals and really just like, like, didn't want to participate in BRC 20s.
Cause it was kind of a dead protocol.
So I think the majority of people are now getting the experience of what BRC 20s were like.
And they're just like, I didn't know it was like this.
I didn't know it was like NFTs, like where there's a floor price and there's these bundles and stuff.
So I think a lot of people that didn't experience BRC 20s are now getting a taste of what it sort of was like.
It's not totally the same.
It's pretty similar, but I just don't think a lot of people were even participated in BRC 20.
So they didn't know what to expect.
And when they saw it, they were underwhelmed.
And, uh, that's kind of what happened to all of that previous volume.
Like where did all those participants go?
Like, I feel like they should be taking the ones taking advantage of this because BRC 20s were going crazy at one point.
And every day I would see another post about how Bitcoin NFTs are flipping every other chain.
And it was all BRC 20, right?
Like you said, already went to billion rats, sats, cats, whatever.
All of those things were going crazy.
And then all of a sudden all that volume dried up.
So where, why did that, I guess my, my question is like, why didn't that money start flowing into here?
I guess maybe it did to a certain extent, but, um, yeah, that's kind of my question.
I think the V bites, I think the V bites might be keeping people out that want to get in.
You know what I'm saying?
Like when BRC 20s are flying, I think V bites were maybe like under 20.
So they're like the, the opportunity to get in and there wasn't that like high cost, but now with V bites, you know, you spend an 80 to $90 per, maybe people are waiting to that to go down to start aping just to kind of save money on fees and shit like that.
The high fee, the high fee environment is keeping people that would ape into it.
Um, that, you know, like we were at like five to 10 V bites.
I think you'll see a lot more people coming in, but I think people are just waiting for the traders to get out the people that are opportunists.
And then they'll, obviously we're kind of entering kind of runes is this runes is that I told you runes.
So people are taking victory laps and that typically doesn't age well on a protocol.
I mean, less than a week old.
I still think there are going to be winners here and people are going to be proven wrong.
But like right now, you know, infrastructure is being built.
People are trying to figure this out.
They haven't participated.
So I, I still think we have a, a, a way to rebound, but I think the people that are, that have a lot of money are willing to ape are probably waiting for like the momentum and the hype to die down.
So they can, you know, you know, ape, uh, as much as they can.
Well, it's definitely a failed protocol, even though we still are just sitting at 300 sets per V bite because, you know, no one's using runes and no one's interested in.
And it's all just a big fucking farce, right?
I mean, why the fees are still 300 sets per V bite, maybe magic.
Is that how Bitcoin works?
Does Bitcoin work with magic or is it sound logic and math that is, uh, irrefutable?
Why weren't the, why weren't the set, the V bite so high during all of that BRC 20 traffic?
And when, when in fact, like ruins is supposed to be more efficient.
They were, they topped out at 700.
Dude, listen, dude, may I join this conversation with some, some, um, points about this?
Yeah, bro, you could put your hand up and I'll call on you like everybody else.
Um, so yeah, put that hand up and I'm going to throw it the tout since he was up here before
you and then we'll get to you instantly.
So one mute to probably take three or four seconds cause Twitter likes to bug out.
You were talking and then we'll get to you.
Um, I, I fucking definitely wasn't called on, but I don't know.
Um, yeah, it is what it is.
Uh, like I say this shit all the time, make things easier for people to buy.
And then the volume will go in.
Like that's just, that's just is what it is.
You know, like when they perfect this shit or like improve it over time, more people will
I was one of those people that never touched BRCs just cause I didn't like to deal with
like, oh man, I have to fucking buy these in batches.
It just gave me like, I just had PTSD from JPEGs, right?
Like that, that was just my own issue.
And I'm not saying that's everyone should avoid that hindsight is 2020 would have fucking
If I definitely got in a BRCs or, you know, already or whatever it is, like everyone did,
you know, people made a lot of fucking money.
But it's, it's the same song and dance with Twitter all the fucking time.
Something new and shiny comes out.
The price goes fucking parabolic.
And then it gets butted into oblivion.
X, Y, Z, insert your bags are dead.
Insert your bags are dead.
You buy the fucking blood.
And then you wait, like you just wait, bro.
But like, if someone's going to tell me to buy something like whatever rune or BRC it
is that was at a couple cents, like two, three months ago, and it's up fucking thousands
of percent to like over a hundred dollars or between 60 to a hundred dollars, like you're
out of your fucking mind, dude.
There's no way I'm going to buy something that went up that high when people are still
fucking scared and shit of it.
Like right now, you know, like a magic Eden did a great job and made this a lot easier
It's just that it's not, it's not polished enough yet to where your casual MFers can just
Like, like it's just the reality of it, you know, like, and what's going to happen now.
Some runes are going to continue running up, you know, and then, but some of them are
You know, Bitcoin's price is going to go up and people are going to fucking cope.
And all those paper handed fucking traders are going to be like, fuck, I should have
just held on to my Bitcoin because they can't stand the idea of the, of the underlying asset
going up while they're meme coins.
Cause this is what it is.
It's not like it's different from that.
It's just the same fucking psychology.
You know, like if you have an ETH meme coin and then you see ETH going up and your meme coin
is trending sideways or going down, you're going to be fucking a salty little bitch and sell
your fucking bags to fucking go into the underlying asset.
And when you do that, that's when the fucking meme coins start going up.
Like in my mind, it's, it's all cyclical.
Like, don't get me wrong.
I love everything about it, you know, but I understand human psychology and I understand
cycles and trends, you know, in my mind, and I could be completely wrong.
I'm not going to fucking go on the timeline and grave dance.
You know, I did offload a bunch of my runes.
I sold into the news of fucking, uh, of magic eating.
Like I listed all of them on 75% of them, 80% of them on magic eating.
And I kept a small bag and I'm waiting with dry powder for when everyone is scared and everyone
sells and the shit like goes, retraces like tremendously down to fucking buy all back.
Cause I do think it still has a lot of potential, a lot of room to grow like Bitcoin motherfuckers
have money, but I don't know, bro.
It's, it's just, it's, it's, it's just, it's just a psychological game.
At some point you just have to accept it and look at it for what it is.
Um, you know, people disagree or, you know, don't fucking kick rocks.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I think your point, I mean, I do think the infrastructure will get better, but I think
there's an opportunity to get into these prices.
And yeah, I do think having some spare change in buying like DCA down, but once it's easy
to buy, you know, like the entry, your entry is a lot cheaper when you buy, when there's
friction and buy when it is difficult and buy when no one wants it.
So like when it does become easy and it's, it's seamless, you know, those, you know, everybody
can ape, you're not going to get the same entry.
So I do think there is an opportunity here to get in this stuff early before the infrastructure
built, where it is seamless.
Cause you're never going to get these prices again.
Once, you know, you have AMMs and all this other shit that makes it easy to buy this stuff.
But I do think timelines X are not like people's timelines of how quick shit will be done.
It just, it doesn't line up with, with what I, what I've seen in the past.
Like it's not going to be done within a few days and it might be, and it might be, but typically
from my experience, the infrastructure takes a little bit of time to build and a, and a
week or a month in our world and in web three and crypto and X feels like 10 fucking years,
So like, I, I know that experts is working on this shit to where you could see your ruins
I know a bunch of exchanges are working on listing all these things.
And, and there's, there's a bunch of volume.
So like, I don't have to catch the Pico top.
When I sell, I don't have to catch the Pico bottom.
When I, but when I buy, like, I'm definitely going to be DC slowly, you know, from, from
when I sold, if, if what I sold out was 50% less or, or 30, 40% less than what I sold it
at, I'll DC a little bit, but I'm not going to go heavy.
Cause I'd like to buy in volume.
I don't do no fucking two, $300 trend.
Like I don't give a fuck about the transaction fees.
If I'm buying $10,000 worth of runes, what do I care about a hundred dollars?
If I'm expecting the runes to five X from where they're at now, that's just my site.
That's my, that's my mindset.
Like I don't give a fuck about the small little ass fees.
If I'm not looking at pennies, when I should be looking at literal thousands of fucking dollars,
it doesn't matter to me what the fees are now.
It's just that where the, where the fucking, uh, attention is and where, where the sentiment
I don't draw lines on charts and shit.
I don't, I don't know how to do that.
I could be completely fucking wrong and I'm willing to accept that, you know, but for the
time being, I just made a plan and I'm sticking to it.
I hope it fucking improves.
Cause I have friends that have a lot of bags in the shit.
I mean, BRC twenties don't have any kind of infrastructure built in.
They have a few tokens that did, you know, go parabolic, you know, sats rats and already.
So the fact that we don't have any infrastructure here doesn't mean that the tokens can't go
And I think there's not a lot of these tokens that are the strong ones even listed on the
So everybody's come into a conclusion off a small sample size.
Let's wait till all the coins get launched.
Let's wait till, you know, all that happens.
And then we'll look at volume and look at infrastructure and like, look at how prices react.
And now we don't, I think we have like, I mean, 90% of the pre-runs aren't even on the
market and those are the top builders.
So I think, you know, I think you're right.
And I don't think it rolled out perfectly.
But like I was saying all this time up, I feel like if, you know, just sit on your hands,
let shit play out, you know, don't over trade, don't get chopped up.
And like 90% of these are going to go to zero.
But, you know, typically there's going to be two, three, four coins that outpace Bitcoin
and outpace your whole portfolio.
Like a lot of people are going to be selling bottoms.
And if you just sit on your hands and let shit play out in the next five to six months,
you'll probably have some winners and you'll have the next order.
You'll have the next rats.
You'll have an assessor probably all in your portfolio.
You'll just will, you'll just won't be patient enough to let that shit eat and let that shit
So 90% is going to go to zero.
It's just like, you could do like you do and sell it all and just accumulate at the bottoms.
Or you can just be, and just be patient and just sit on your hands and just let, let
And, and the main lesson, and I'm just, the last thing I'm going to say is like all coins
and meme coins always, always, always, this isn't me making shit up.
You can go look at charts and do whatever you want.
They always outperform the underlying asset at some point.
You know, like if you buy whatever ETH L2 or fucking ETH coin, I'm not going to name
It doesn't really matter.
You know, insert your fucking bags here.
The, the odds are that they're going to outperform ETH.
Like it's a lot easier for a lot of this shit to three to five to 10 to 20 X than it is for
ETH or Bitcoin to two to three X, you know?
So that's kind of how you have to look at the alt coins and the meme coin side of things,
whether it's on Bitcoin, whether it's on soul or whether it's on ETH.
Like it's just, that's just the reality of how all this shit works.
All coins and meme coins always outperform.
And you know, a lot of people up here know this.
I'm, I'm just saying for people that don't, you know, I'm not trying to patronize anybody
up here with your, you know, uh, fucking web three knowledge, but yeah.
No, I mean, this is, this is definitely going to be a thing.
It's just like how patient we're going to be to let it become a thing.
I mean, listen to interviews this weekend from token, uh, 49, uh, Arthur Hayes is like,
what are the next hundred X's in this market?
Like Pendle and fucking wizards and BRC twenties.
Like, you know, obviously he's probably pumping his bags a little bit.
Cause he's, you know, he's doubling down on wizard while Anson's doubling down on pups.
But I mean, all the smart traders are saying BRC 20 or runes is going to be a thing.
And you know, this cycle is the Bitcoin cycle.
It's like it's Bitcoin's, you know, ETFs, havings like Bitcoin's going to, you know,
it's had a few cycles where it hasn't been the darling.
And this cycle is definitely going to be BTC as a darling and everything, you know,
in that ecosystem, um, is going to pump based off that magnifying glass and it being the darling.
Like, I mean, the whole Bitcoin ecosystem is tokenless.
So there's going to be major airdrops.
There's going to be major shit happening on Bitcoin this cycle and, uh, all time highs ETF.
So I still think that runes and ordinals are going to be some of the top performing assets,
no matter how we think about things short, short term.
So that's kind of how I feel about it.
I'm going to toss it down, uh, to a Haas or Jonas.
So sorry for interrupting.
So, um, so I'm not a trader.
I'm one of these infrastructure guys who are building that stuff.
And, uh, it's actually my job to, to pass all these protocols, like, like, um, inscriptions,
atomical stems, you name it.
I build parsers for this and display it on my website.
So, um, and I think this is also the reason why some people are disappointed because a developer
was making a new protocol and, um, he delivered what he promised.
So Casey said, um, I don't like, um, ESC 20 because it's just inefficient.
It's a JSON file inside the inscription.
This is never what I was expecting, how the protocol should evolve.
So he, he said, I'm going to deliver a different protocol, which is in its core, just more efficient.
And I think he really delivered this.
Um, this protocol is super much more efficient.
Like, um, like, like for example, the BSC 20, um, stuff that we have seen before.
And, um, it's so much efficient that, um, everybody was expecting, okay, last summer when, um, BSC 20 was hyping,
we had a super high numbers, like 600 set per V byte for a longer time.
People have already somehow forgotten how, how extremely expensive everything was.
And, um, the main problem was that all these feature activity was cloaking the mempool completely,
that literally nothing was ever doable on Bitcoin.
So Casey said, okay, I can do that better.
I will give you literally the same experience like before, but more efficient.
And we right now see this playing out.
Uh, we have a lot of, uh, volume here, but still the fees are somehow manageable.
We are still somehow around 100 to 200 sets per V byte.
We are in a phase where everything is staying out right now.
And so the people are right now a little bit different, uh, disappointed because they were expecting something where everything is now solved.
Uh, marketplaces, um, have finally a stop loss.
But this wasn't actually what, uh, Casey said he's going to deliver.
He delivered a more efficient protocol.
We got the more efficient protocol.
You can see it on the fees.
Uh, fees, the fees are not as high as many people expected.
And I would expect that the fees are even going down so that we can, in the end, do, uh, more stuff on Bitcoin.
People can inscribe their JPEGs and people can also, um, trade decentralized of Bitcoin.
This is what a lot of people wanted to have.
So they got the protocol and now it's up to the marketplaces to create a better usability.
Because this is not something that Casey, uh, tackled at all.
He just made the foundation.
And I have to admit, yes, the usability is still very bad.
We don't have stop losses.
This is something that other people have to build on top of this.
So I'm pretty much, um, happy with how it played out.
The protocol is more efficient.
We can now use Bitcoin, um, a little bit more efficiently so that we don't have to go to layer 2 directly next month.
So I would say we can use Bitcoin for one or two years.
Until it's completely crowded and we have to somehow go to a second layer solutions.
For now, level, uh, one is still usable again.
And I would admit that in the summer, uh, people were not able to do anything except speculation.
Now we can do everything again on Bitcoin.
We can do normal payments and we can do, um, decentralized finance.
So I think it's a big victory, but yeah.
I understand that people expected more, but, uh, a protocol was promised.
A protocol was delivered.
And now we have to wait until the marketplaces are doing a better job to make the usability better.
So the foundation is set, but of course it's just one weekend since we have this.
So I would assume that, um, with this protocol, we will get slightly better usability, but not that much.
So I have heard that people complained that it's comparable to, um, BSC 20.
It's comparable to BSC 20, but more efficiently.
You have lower fee rates than in the summer.
So that's all the Casey, uh, promised and we got it.
And like just being on Bitcoin for almost over a year.
Like there's a lot of times where things were like, oh, this is dead.
And then they like rebounded and you didn't have a chance to get back in when it rebounded.
It just went parabolic and you just thought you were buying tops and it went higher and higher.
Like I got in, like Bitcoin is dead phase back in June, July, we were, we were inscribing bitmaps.
And, you know, we, we, we came on the space and we were teaching people how to get bitmaps.
And, you know, it was early.
Like a lot of people are like, what the fuck's bitmap?
There's a lot of discussion.
Bitmaps are a scam, but maps, every, all the Bitcoin maxis and, uh, OG ordinals had an opinion on bitmaps.
And, you know, like there, you know, there was a time where it was left to be inscribed and there wasn't a lot of volume.
And then it, it meant it out.
And like two or three weeks later, there started getting volume.
And I'm like, you know, I, I sold mine, I'm selling mine into, into volume.
I waited an extra, there was another two months that went by.
And there was, there was the, the peak of bitmaps where these things were selling for like 0.03 for a, like a four digit.
So like I was selling too early on that.
I didn't let it, uh, compound.
I didn't let, uh, you know, I was early and that's a curse sometimes.
So this is kind of the same narratives going on right now.
It's like, I don't understand.
There's a lot of fun in the timeline, but if you wait long enough, you're patient long enough.
There, these metas on Bitcoin always rebound and typically go so parabolic that you think you're buying tops, but just continues to go up.
So like, if you're looking for a reversal, you're looking for momentum, you might not get that opportunity or you will get that opportunity, but you won't buy enough because you think that you're buying the top.
So like, I like my safe bet for you guys is just to have some spare cash and DCA because when rooms does pop off, you will, you're constantly going to think that you're buying too high and you're not going to get in.
Cause you think you're buying too high.
So always have like some skin in the game.
And that's the kind of the lesson I've learned.
You know, like when bit maps are going parabolic, I was like, I shouldn't have sold all my bit maps.
I should have kept one or two.
Like you should always have a little skin in the game, regardless of how bearish or bullish you are.
Because when this stuff goes parabolic, it goes ballistic.
So that's just from my experience for the past year being here, everything is deemed dead.
Everybody has a problem with it, but it always rebounds and you always feel like you're buying too high.
So I think that's how room is going to play out too.
I just want to point out something I found with quantum cats.
So apparently the, the OP cat received their VIP number and it happens to be 420.
Now I see, I don't believe in coincidences.
So I really, I'm starting to believe that all of this is a huge sign up.
They got us to run the nodes and Casey created this uncommon goods thing, which is, I think
it's very strange that you, it's like an open mint for four years.
So I'm looking in there and people are minting this thing.
And it's supposed to like, isn't it supposed to be like a mint that is like gauging the, the fee, the tech transaction fees.
So I feel like that's contributing to like these high fees.
Why are people minting this thing?
I feel like he should have just left, left that alone and not created that thing.
To be honest, I feel like it's just causing people to mint more of this worthless token.
I just feel like we've been, we've been kind of like side up into this idea of, you know,
actually I'm gonna go into my Bitcoin maxi maxi phase right here.
Like they literally want to change Bitcoin.
So we're going to upgrade the code.
Uh, we're putting layer twos on it.
We're doing mean coins on top of Bitcoin, making it unusable.
It's like, cause we have Solana, we have Ethereum to do those things.
So, uh, we're, we still see like this Bitcoin maxi versus ordering the maxi fight going on
where we're actually going to, uh, change the code of Bitcoin.
Um, so yeah, I think that's still going on as well.
And we may have been signed up into that battle.
Uh, to be honest with you, what do you think about that?
I think you should sell me all your Satoshi Nakamoto at $3 and then everybody can flip
The, the, the guy that minted Satoshi Nakamoto, isn't he like from the Bitcoin cash?
I feel like now we're going to get, what happens when they, when they changed the, the limit
to like the eight megabytes instead of four mega.
And then everyone who meant that like the big format is irrelevant because now there's eight
And then, and then what happens when, when they do it to like 16 and what happens in
I don't know if that's actually going to happen.
That was like the block size wars.
And like, I don't know, man.
Like I think you're down like a weird rabbit hole, bro.
But that's like, so the guy that minted the Satoshi Nakamoto coin.
Let me give you a word of advice that one of, one of these motherfuckers told me a long
Do you want to keep like, I'm all for asking some questions, but the other flip side of
that is, do you want to keep asking all these ridiculous questions or do you want to fucking
So like, I don't know the really technical, I mean, I can make money selling anything.
I could go, I could be a tick tock shop.
So you're talking about Jack Lew, right?
We're talking about the future of finance here.
You're talking about Satoshi Nakamoto, the guy that ranked, that guy that, you know, etched
The guy that etched the Satoshi Nakamoto coin is apparently one of these like Bitcoin Cash,
Bitcoin SV, like that whole battle with the-
You know, this isn't his first time doing something, right?
He basically is one of the very first people that inscribed one of the very first ordinal collections
So the doge punks that haven't been minted out.
Some people are saying that he lost the key.
Jack Lew is behind that too.
So this dude is early, early on ordinals, on Bitcoin, on doginals, and now runes.
So the dude has proven himself three times to get early inscriptions on three fucking
ordinal theory chains in a row, bro.
He did three of them, man.
He did three of the, like-
Yeah, he did three of the runes.
He's been on doginals, and I think he did something on ordinals early too.
I don't know exactly his wallet, but the dude's fucking killed the ordinals game early, early
And like, definitely think Satoshi Nakamoto is going to be one of the top ones.
It's a great ticker, has great pot provenance, and this Jack Lew guy is fucking behind it.
So, I mean, he's killed it on all three chains so far.
I mean, I was just trolling a little bit.
But congratulations to QuantumCats.
Sounds like they got their, that was the whole point.
VIP 420, I should have pinned to the top.
And there's some documentation there.
We have some documentation there explaining what's going on, and hopefully that actually
makes it even more efficient.
So yeah, I agree with what everyone's saying.
Like, the infrastructure has to be built, just like the way ordinals came about.
It took time, you know, for it to actually become a good experience for the user, and
that's obviously going to bring more volume.
Yeah, I've heard OpCat isn't going to be ready to deploy to like maybe even next year.
So that's Tout basically confirming, you know, he said that earlier, like none of this stuff
is going to be ready for another year or so.
But that doesn't mean that runes can't go parabolic without, you know, ESA use.
Like I said, we've had BRC20s go parabolic without any kind of infrastructure place.
So I do think this is kind of overblown.
We have seen things pop off on Bitcoin, and this is just the way Bitcoin is going to be.
When you're performing and you're doing this stuff on a decentralized protocol, things
That's the point of decentralization.
There has to be some structure.
If you guys want things fast, go to the centralized VC chains.
That's why they're fast, because they're centralized.
I mean, it's not rocket science for these.
Just like pick ones that you think will be listed by Binance and then like go sell the
Like pick one or two that you think have a chance at Binance.
And then if there's something like Wanko Manko that's like has like a it's like spotlight
in the sun for like a little bit and you think it'll have momentum, buy that for like a short
And then if nothing ever gets listed on Binance, then you're pretty fucked.
Like with the runes protocol, because like I think that's what you're looking for, you
So like it's either it happens or it doesn't.
And if it happens, you'll probably make a shitload of money.
And it's going to be like either R6, Satoshi Nakamoto, maybe decentralized.
Like one of those are going to like get listed most likely and put some money in and see
No, I was going to go ahead.
It's funny, but you have been all trolled by Udi.
I will explain this to you.
They created the full repository, which is a complete fake.
And they increased the number until they got the number 420.
No, there was no BIP number aside at all.
It's not that easy to get that number.
And then it's super obvious because it would never ever be the number 420.
So you have been officially all trolled.
And it played out very well.
So if you check that again, you will see that this is an empty repository just to troll your oil.
So there was no BIP number at all.
And it's definitely not 420.
So I'm sorry, but we haven't realized this until now, right?
So you have been trolled.
It goes even further than that.
Like the actual troll is like you can go full circle from that argument that you don't even need a BIP number for like for a soft fork.
So it's kind of like like an empty kind of like victory either way.
So like it doesn't matter whether you actually had a BIP number or not.
Like you definitely don't need a BIP number for a soft fork.
So you're telling me it's a troll.
So why did these founders mess around with our assets like this?
I don't understand why they play around.
Like how obvious is it, bro?
It's not like a real big deal.
I'm not sitting here thinking that my founder is a troll.
So I'm holding your asset, which is-
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What about Yuga yesterday?
Yuga trolled us the fact that they joined the World Economic Forum and you guys all ran with it.
It was actually just not even true.
It's like we're just getting into-
I don't know what happened in April, but the whole week of-
The whole month of April has been April Fools.
I don't know what the fuck's going on.
But yeah, that World Economic Forum thing last week or yesterday where Yuga's joining that.
I was like, that was all a troll.
And then all the fucking threaders ran with it.
Like it was true, which is crazy.
So this is the same thing.
But did the founders say that or someone else?
In this case, the founders are saying, like the project is saying it.
Like we got this BIP 420 for what they've been telling us about OP Cat is what we're holding, which is what?
How much is an OP Quantum Cat right now?
They're playing games, giving out fake PR to troll us.
I'm just saying like what?
Attention drives price, bro.
But like at some point, at some point in scale, like you got to stop the trolling.
This is just a big troll.
You can troll as long as-
So this is just a huge troll.
I mean, the whole market's a meme, bro.
The whole market's a meme.
The whole market's a meme.
So you guys are never going to be serious people at all.
The price was higher before they reposted this.
So like you can actually argue that this damaged it because it's 0.45.
So like you can't say that they're like bumping it.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
If anything, it's gone the other way, bro.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, I saw Udi or I don't know.
I forget who fucking said it.
I can't tell the difference anymore.
Basically saying like I was underexposed to ordinals early.
I'm not doing the same with runes.
I'm buying all the top hundred coins.
Do you think that like that's a solid play thesis of just like these runes are a top
It's going to drive provenance.
These tokens are going to be viewed similar to early ordinals.
Like, I don't know any fungible tokens.
I don't know any fungible tokens that have provenance other than maybe two or three.
So it's saying like all these top hundred are going to be, you know, early and people
are going to view them the same as early.
I go under 10 K inscriptions on ordinals.
I don't think he's buying any, to be honest.
I think he's just minting out all the ones that nobody's minting out and has no attention.
It's just like a risk to reward thing.
Like if I can get it for just transaction fees at the moment when transaction fees are
low, I'll just buy these.
If they go to zero, I waste the transaction fees and maybe I get a two or three X.
He's like playing like top 100s that have like a 200, 300,000, you know, dollar market
And maybe it goes to like 1 million.
Maybe it goes to 2 million.
So he's spraying and spraying.
He doesn't know which ones are going to be the best, but he has enough capital that he
can take this risk averse kind of play and just mint all of these.
And then the winners win.
And then he just has a bag of them when, like whenever they do win.
So I guess that's, that's kind of how I would play it.
I would wait till VBytes go low or win the middle of night and just get as many of these
And like, like I've been saying, like 90 of them will go to zero, but like 10 of them
will basically be the winners and I'll produce the rest of your portfolio.
So I think that's kind of a TO strategy too.
So doubling down on this OpCat, this is from the beginning a big troll at all, because
now they coupled this OpCat, OpCode, which is super old with their QuantumCats.
And this OpCat operation is, it's as old as Bitcoin.
So it was removed one day and then everybody said, we want to have it back.
So it's years old, way older than the QuantumCats.
But for, for people that are not so deep into the tech, it now looks like as a success
of the QuantumCats is connected with OpCat, but they haven't wrote the code for this.
The code is super old and it was there from the beginning.
No, so talking Okamoto, they've been, they've been pretty open that it's...
I don't think that they created this, they just want to bring it back.
So a lot of people, but I'm not assuming that you are thinking this, but for a lot of people,
the success of getting OpCat back is now completely related to the success of these
cats, because they just somehow made a perfect marketing towards this into existence.
And now everybody thinks, okay, if this code change is now merged into Bitcoin, the QuantumCats
And I think they mean this into existence.
So it was a big troll attack from the beginning.
It's, it's, it's by definition, just...
But you think if OpTech gets passed, you think the Taproot Wizards has nothing to do with it, or not the lion's share?
I would say usually this is not how Bitcoin works.
You have to convince people with arguments and people discuss this over and over again.
And finally something gets merged.
This is how it was in the past.
I think it's just an awareness thing.
Sometimes stuff gets merged.
I think you just need enough people talking about it to like actually mull it over and see if it makes sense.
This, this is at least Udi's opinion and from the rest of the, of the gang.
But they, but this is not how it worked in the past.
So we don't have a reference for this.
So it could be also possible that OpCats would have been merged without any Twitter activity at all.
Because a lot of code developers have better things to do than looking on Twitter.
What people making funny videos of cats, they don't care.
Usually they talk about technical arguments and if a good argument wins and everybody is fine, then the stuff gets merged.
It's merged slowly but steadily.
And it's at least possible that they don't care at all.
That people are making funny videos searching for their cat in a supermarket, you know, and putting on funny wizard heads.
I think this is not how open source development and especially for, for Bitcoin works.
They know that there are some crazy dgens.
They are making funny cat videos.
But I don't see why this is the only argument that this gets merged.
Of course, now they can claim all success in the end because we all believe that this was now a direct result of people making funny videos.
But chances are also super high that OpCat would have been merged anyway.
So now we can't really tell anymore if it was because of all this Twitter activity or if it just was merged because it was necessary at all.
So OpCat is so simple and in the end, nobody's really against it.
And so that in the end, I think it will be merged anyway.
But now they can claim success that they have done this by doing all the activity on Twitter.
You got to update your username.
Well, I was just like, I don't, I can't speak for Udi, but like if just like listening to him chat about it, like he's always actually had that disposition.
Like for like months now, he's like, it's so obvious that OpCat will get passed.
And like, he just is giving it like an eight, I would guess.
Like, I think he's always stated that like, it's very obvious that like OpCat is the natural progression to the next kind of thing.
I was even saying he has this, you have to have the social consensus, you know, you have to have the youth.
And that, you know, he's been kind of saying that we have the social consensus and that's why we're going to get things done.
But I mean, whatever Udi's doing, it's working.
I mean, since NFT NYC, we had a big three, which were O and Bs, Puppets and Note Monkeys.
Now we have a fantastic four and QuantumCats have moved into, you know, that conversation is the top ordinal.
So whatever Udi's been doing has been working for the floor price to continue to go up.
So I can't hate him for whatever he's doing.
Whatever he's doing is working.
You got to update your Twitter handle again.
Cause bit before 20 is fake.
I have to change it, right?
I got to wait for like Twitter blue so I can like take away like.
So for the whole week, we're all going to know for a fact you got fucking trolled hard.
And that's just rough on your ego.
You just show up in our conversation like that?
Pinned up the mint schedule for today.
Not a lot of stuff that I know anything about, but we have the magic eating runes platform launch.
We have the evolution of cults on base.
Post photographic perspectives.
Open edition drop on base.
We have coma and board eight yacht club board meeting of a three year anniversary.
I think the only one that looked interesting to me and it was just based off the art was this coma one.
Looks a lot like Kaiju Kings on soul.
I don't know anything else that's going on today.
I mean, we do have Steven up here.
He does write, you know, his weekly art thread on everything that's minting today.
Is there anything on this schedule that I'm overlooking that I'm passing by because I don't know art that well.
How are you doing this morning, Steven?
You doing all right, my guy?
Yeah, no, there's a couple of them that are on this list that I was going to talk about once we got past runes.
And you hit two of them up front.
It was ISO Metro and the Post Photographic Perspectives 3 over on Fellowship.
Both of them are really solid.
One is a group show and the other one is a collab of two artists that are being released by what I would call a relatively new platform.
I spoke with their founder on color commentary two weeks ago.
But the group is called 8nap Art.
Basically, they've got a great eye for art at the head of it named Jared Paws.
And he is working with a number of different generative artists on dropping a series of collections for his specific pass holders and the community over the next couple of months.
This is just the first of them.
We've got together two absolute legends in terms of generative art and Rich Poole and the paper crane, AKA Rick Crane, to do ISO Metro.
The palettes on it look great.
I would definitely say it's worth taking a look at.
But what we're seeing between that and Post Photographic Perspectives 3 is that this week is very clearly a, let's consider it a week of rest for art on ordinals.
It's just going to be a very slow week for it because a lot of artists are pushing out into May because of the fees.
Kind of called that one last week and you could see it coming from a mile away.
But I got to tell you, it gives a lot of the artists that are over on ETH and Solana.
I'm not going to say Tezos because who gives a shit.
But realistically, ETH and Solana artists have an opportunity to kind of take back a little bit of the limelight on the timeline.
So I'm feeling pretty good about those.
But what you were talking about with Koma, it's not something that I was looking at.
I think it's just another fun PFP free mint on Sol.
But that's kind of all that I got on that one.
But if you have any interest in learning more about AI art, especially that which is on chain, highly recommend you check out that group show, Post Photographic Perspectives 3.
The theme for this one is called Taming the Machine.
And the entire thing is curated by Alejandro Cartagena.
And he will be featured later on today on the Art as Alpha show, which I have been fortunate enough to be continuing to support alongside Matt Medved over at NFT Now.
So that'll be a really interesting interview.
You can learn more about it there and then get in on it if you're interested in it.
There are a couple other mints coming up later this week in the digest that I think are worth keeping an eye on.
But I can certainly bring those up later.
That's just the ones that are in the mint guide that you posted up top.
So if, for example, the audience would like to have more Art Alpha on this show, I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you that you need to be resharing the space.
Right now we're at 64 reposts.
Typically I'll share more Art Alpha on the show around 69.
Reshare the space because we've had a ton of ruins alpha today.
And we're just going to get into some more.
Who's on the show tonight, Color Commentary tonight?
Color Commentary tonight.
We've got three very big platforms upcoming.
One of those is a project that's upcoming.
We've got Live Art showing up to talk about Human by Yiman Jin.
Great artist, trad artist out of China that is coming over officially to drop on Ordinals for the very first time.
That drop is scheduled now for May 8th.
We've got Number XA, which is a collaborative effort between a couple of big names that you're probably familiar with in the Ordinals space.
And then last, but certainly not least, if my posts would ever actually load, we've got the Disruptive Art Gallery.
They're the ones behind the recent Matt Delorier drop filigree.
And we're going to talk a little bit with them about what they have cooking and what you can look forward to seeing from them across Ethereum and a couple other chains, I believe, in the not so distant future.
So that show will be tonight at 7 Eastern.
Hope that you guys will join.
And that's partnered with the TDA.
Steven's doing a great job.
Is that picked up by NFT Now every week now?
So they're picking up the first half and syndicating that over on NFT Now every single, hopefully Monday.
Unfortunately, this week's was a little bit behind because I had to go a little bit AFK for the last couple of days for a funeral, unfortunately.
But yeah, there you'll be able to find that over on NFT Now for anything that's minting this week.
But you can always rely on the All Eyes and Art Digest on my profile to see everything for the next 30 days.
So fucking killing it, bro.
Congratulations on the NFT Now thing, man.
That's I got a hint of that from winners.
Told me about it last week and then I checked it out.
I'm like, damn, Steven blowing up.
And I mean, it's nothing out of, you know, it's not like this is a surprise.
I mean, you have one of the most in-depth art threads that's out on the space.
So the fact that they realized that kudos to NFT Now.
So kill you. You're killing it, man.
So shout out to you for doing that.
So I'm going to have to reverse and we're just going to like kind of pivot here a little bit.
Right. So got a bunch of stuff that's on on the docket for you guys today.
But I guess one thing that was kind of breaking yesterday was the SEC to SEC officers or agents were basically asked to resign or basically, I guess, over.
I don't know how to explain it, I guess, doing corrupt things inside the government and NFTs and crypto and the price pumped off that news.
I don't know if there's any kind of update on that or if that was overblown, but that that happened yesterday, which seemed like was a nice little rally for crypto yesterday.
But we do have a lot of stuff going on on other blockchains and I'm just trying to find go through my bookmarks and try to bring some of that stuff up.
But one thing that was pretty exciting that I saw was on the ton blockchain.
This was announced about nine hours ago and Nakamoto games, super bullish on Nakamoto games.
It looks like they're going to be building on the ton blockchain, which is big news.
You know how bullish I am on the ton blockchain, you know, telegram has over 90 900 million users and the ton blockchain, which is the telegram open network is basically been killing it for the past two to three months with onboarding.
And it looks like we have Nakamoto games is moving the whole new level.
We're building on the ton blockchain up upgrading the largest messenger in the world.
We have some new coming that will place Naka and telegram at the forefront of the main street of docks.
We're changing web three forever ton news.
So this is from Nakamoto games.
It looks like I don't know where they were.
I guess they were at EVM or they might be building on beam or something like that.
But it looks like they're moving their whole operation over the telegram, which is pretty it's pretty bullish.
There's not a blockchain that has over 900 million people and this has 900 million on a telegram app.
I'm not saying it's all on ton blockchain, but that conversion, I think, is the main duty of the ton blockchain to integrate their wallets and integrate those 90 900 million people onto the ton blockchain.
And like if we're looking at user base and we're looking at things that could possibly be the next up and coming games, it's probably stuff that might be built on top of ton.
So just wanted to bring that up. Nakamoto games is a big bag that I have.
And just seeing this update makes me even more bullish at the fact they're kind of bridging themselves over to one of the top blockchains, up and coming blockchains in space.
So did you saw that? Did you did you end up getting that phone?
I know they sold out, which was pretty bullish.
Yeah, I got that phone is like one hundred and thirty dollars for the ton phone.
And yeah, then they over the weekend at token 2049, they had their updates on the integration of USDT.
So ton blockchain is going to have their own stable coin.
I guess USDT is not their stable coin, but they're going to have stable coins on that.
They're going to have wallet integration.
They're going to have sticker packs that artists can create and get royalties on it.
So ton is making some moves, man.
I know one thing that happened over the weekend was the not coin got delayed a little bit.
There was a there was a game that was just the tap, a tap game that was on the Telegram app.
And they were supposed to have their airdrop or their TGE this week and they postponed that.
So that's one kind of bad thing that happened.
Mean coins over there going ballistic.
And now we have Nakamoto games bridging over there, too.
So just kind of some bullish news.
What up, Shekinah? How you doing?
I want to ask you, like, what do you think about what is it?
The Tether kind of collaborating with some with with Telegram?
I just said any of the games that are coming on to ton will end up.
Just kind of utilizing us here.
Where how does that continue to grow?
I think that stable coins could be a great way to give out because I think one of the issues with Web3 games is the fact that the token that you doll out to people is pretty volatile.
I mean, that was kind of the downfall of Axie Infinity was like everybody was making this money off smooth love potion.
And then it was at like a dollar, dollar 50.
And during the bear market went to like 30 cents.
So I always thought the best way to to have like adoption of Web3 gaming is actually issuing out like stable coins because it's not as volatile.
But then you like say you made 30 bucks, you know, you make 30 bucks the next day, like your 30 bucks doesn't turn into 15 bucks overnight when there's volatility.
So I think maybe the US the stable coin coming on the ton could be a way for people to diversify their coins.
But also maybe these games might like integrate like a dollar or a stable coin into the reward system, which would be less volatile for people.
And they don't lose their their like winnings overnight if, say, the market's volatile.
So I don't know if that happens, but I've always thought that having some kind of stable coin for gaming would be beneficial instead of having some volatile asset that can go up 30 percent overnight or go down 30 percent over.
That means you have to give them real money.
God forbid. Right. God forbid you give people real money.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. Yeah.
Well, then I'm going to give you the legal background.
It's the regulations and it's the chaos of, yeah, all the licenses, et cetera.
So that's why they wouldn't do it. Yeah.
I mean, I think I thought it was pretty bullish.
I don't know if it actually moved.
If anything actually happens based off that news.
But, yeah, there was big some big developments on ton blockchain.
Still doing the up the up rock thing to kind of still integrated in that telegram?
They're getting a bunch of news as being the next launch partner on the Jupiter launch pad and shit.
So, yeah, I don't know if you're still I'm still doing it.
You know, anything easy, you know, on the phone and I got, you know, it's running right now.
It's running on that phone.
And then I'm playing Call of Duty mobile and it's running on this phone.
So, yeah, man, got it going.
That was a pretty big news.
The fact that that was going to be on the Jupiter launch pad.
I know we got in before that announcement.
So, yeah, a lot more people are doing that now.
I just want to see what that token worth, you know, so that's the only thing that's important right now.
But but yeah, right now it's it's worthless.
So, you know, just just stacking and hoping.
Yeah, that's that's what we all do is stacking hope.
But yeah, that was that was big news over the weekend.
So that's going on getting into some maybe some upcoming projects that I found.
This one was retweeted by Jesse Pollock on base.
One of ones all animated point one on base reenter for a giveaway.
Jesse Pollock is the marketing.
I guess he's the marketing or he's part of the base blockchain, but he's the one.
He's kind of like the Gary via base.
Anything he retweets gets tons of attention.
He retweeted this three hours ago.
So I don't know if these have launched yet.
But the fact that Jesse basically retweeted it makes you think this is going to do pretty well.
It looks like there's like retweet to enter a giveaway.
These are animated punks.
Some of the stuff that is kind of trending.
I have this tool that basically analyzes engagement on Twitter.
Some of the top Twitters that are getting the most engagement on runes is Koala on the Impala.
So if you want to think of this as tokenized attention, this one is getting the most engagement in the past day.
So maybe there's maybe some price to go up on that one.
Another one is dogging in the hood.
This is one that kind of came out of out of left field for me.
It's the first Robin Hood based meme coin incubated by Game Swift.
So Game Swift is using computing power and AI to revolutionizing gaming.
The first ZK EVM modular gaming blockchain AI powered launcher.
So this one's getting tons of engagement.
It looks to be some kind of game with social tasks.
So long awaited campaign has just started one day ago.
Complete social tasks, mint NFTs on base and make yourself eligible for upcoming airdrop.
Out of all the stuff that's trending in the past day, this is at the top of the list.
So I don't, you know, they kind of came out of nowhere.
It looks like people are going to be doing the social engagement one and minting these NFTs.
And things on base are popping off pretty big.
So throwing that one out there.
Some of the stuff that is getting engagement on BTC is this one called Ribbit BTC.
They have one tweet of this 3D frog.
I don't know if this is a rune or if there's an ordinal, but something that's getting a lot of engagement.
Another one is cats on BTC.
It says you have 24 hours mint price free.
You basically have a Google documentation here.
You put your Twitter handle.
It asks you if you follow them.
It asks it to like and tag two cats on this post and enter your taproot wall.
You have two hours until 25 hours has passed to basically enter this.
And it looks like this could be a rune, but this is getting a lot of engagement probably based off this kind of airdrop in this kind of Google document.
So just throwing that out there as something that is getting a lot of attention.
And then the last one that was on the trending list is this one called Runic Remnants.
Runic Remnant extends a hollow invitation to ordinals faithful.
Six esteemed ordinal projects have banded together to grant 12 GDC whitelist.
Hold an entity on any of these OG projects.
Fill out the form and get ready for excavation.
Spread the word and like and retweet.
The window closes in 48 hours.
If you hold the node monkey, ordinal, maxibiz, pups, tokens, taproot, wizards, quantum cats, and honey badgers.
If you fill out the form, it looks like you're going to be eligible to, I don't know, get this rune and possibly get this airdrop to you.
So they have a Google form pinned up there.
If you guys want to get into that, that's up to you.
So that's kind of some things that I was looking at over the weekend.
You got some breaking news?
We are literally right now in a group chat with the technical team at Maxi who is currently integrating runes.
And we have already filled out and submitted our application.
There is a very high probability we will be the first rune tradable on Maxi.
Isn't Maxi shutting down to U.S. citizens in June now?
And I don't know if you've ever used a VPN, but you should.
I just teleport between Brazil and Germany like on a daily basis.
Hey, and Brazil's the alpha for everyone who's using a VPN.
For gambling, exchanges, this, that, and the other, Brazil is the fucking alpha.
They're in Singapore, like in the Philippines.
But they, like someone said, they have a lot of issues.
Like I think Hong Kong, like the regulator there, they have an issue there.
And then there's elsewhere where they have some issues just on licensing stuff.
So it just depends on where you are.
So you want to look at that.
I mean, I've traded $3 million worth of leveraged volume today on Maxi.
I'm pretty comfortable with them listing the token.
They're not in Brazil because at some point...
Physically teleported to Brazil.
Dude, I'm just an atom, bro.
I'm just a whole bunch of atoms, dog.
We can exist in two places at once.
It's on the quantum level.
Dude, I don't know what you want me to say, bro.
Kind of going back to the first one that you pinned up, the Koala on Impala.
That was actually etched and deployed by Quarry, the founder of Magisets.
And he's been doing a few memeable ones over the last couple of days.
And that was, I think, the first one.
He did Wall Street Bets, Elf on the Shelf.
So I think he's really just doing these.
They're not pre-mined or anything like that.
And some of them have been pretty low cap.
Some have run up to a million market cap, quote unquote, on OKX.
So if you're into kind of like degening into runes for the Wind Feasor, though, I would just follow Corey because he's been doing a lot of these.
Yeah, Corey's been killing it, man.
I actually, when I hear people and they say that they laugh because of this, I'm like, all right, at least this one's funny.
But yeah, Koala on Impala is, I think, probably one of the top ones that have been etched in the past 24 to 48 hours.
I personally think that that's one of the funnier ones.
Something from Orr, was it Wiz Awards?
So Wizards, fuck, I don't know.
But it looks like they've got something going on on the 25th, which is on Thursday.
So you can mint, sweep secondaries, their meme here is, I don't know if these have runes,
but just kind of getting into like the Wizards theme on NFTs and Orinals.
And then we've had that BitBoy 1 that I was telling you guys about.
And this didn't mint out instantly.
You were able to get these for .0088.
And these are basically the Game Boys that are basically hardware wallets and you can play games.
These 3X over the weekend, these were sitting at like .03 yesterday.
But you basically can, they basically airdrop these to us since we bought them.
And you could basically play games on this Ordinal itself.
So if you did get into these, this was something we talked about a few weeks ago.
Anybody could have got in.
I know the site crashed instantly, but it took probably two hours for this to mint out at .0088.
So just another win, another win there for anybody that got into that.
And I have like six phones.
I have the Solana Saga 2.
And now I have the Bitcoin BitBoy 1.
So if you haven't told, I haven't been told, I've been basically just hoarding all these technology things
and basically thinking it's going to airdrop me enough money to pay for my initial investment is kind of my thesis here.
So that's something that we saw over the weekend.
And then we had something this morning of this ultimate wallet.
So Jupiter acquires ultimate wallet and our mobile team more info in the thread.
So we're excited to share that ultimate.
And our mobile team has been acquired by Jupiter.
Solana is leading an exchange.
Jupiter has grown blah, blah, blah, the number one marketplace.
It's been an exciting journey for us, blah, blah, blah.
The current ultimate app will be sun-stated on May 22nd, 22-4 until now.
You will be able to use the wallet as normal.
Of course, your funds are safe.
While this course means you won't be able to use the ultimate anymore in the near future, we're thankful that you will be part of our journey.
So, I mean, what do you, Chris, you're someone that's, you know, native to Solana.
Is this basically Jupiter's attempt to, to be like a marketplace plus a wallet?
Like, what do you think this information, like, how can you dissect this information?
Is this something that's bull for Jupiter?
I know a lot, like, a lot of people are, like, aggregators.
I know flooring app, which basically aggregates, like, floor price is basically coming out with a wallet, too.
Now you have Magic Eden coming out with their own wallet.
Do you think Jupiter is coming out with their own wallet where you can buy, swap, and trade everything on Jupiter inside of a wallet instead of a DEX?
What do you think, Chris?
This wallet that basically they just bought.
Oh, yeah, because I'm listening to this, right?
I'm not talking to my team right now or trying to figure out the logistics.
Figure out the logistics of how the fuck we are going to promote this because I don't think you guys heard me and it's okay whether you did or you didn't.
The ticker is literally intergalactic.
I mean, what the fuck, dude?
Not only is it a banger name, but, like, dude, all these relationships I built, like, I forgot I was an affiliate from MechC.
I forgot until yesterday.
And I was like, oh, shit, because I don't shill it or nothing, right?
I think I've, like, earned $400 in fees and I've traded just retarded amounts of money on that site, right?
So I reached out to my affiliate contact yesterday and I was like, hey, I need to talk to the listings manager.
And then they put me through and then the listings manager was so intrigued, they were like, well, would you also talk with our technical team and provide some documentation to make this process a little faster and easier on us?
So then we're doing that today.
Like, these motherfuckers are moving fast, right?
And I'm just sitting here thinking, Cube Exchange is hands down the best experience, okay?
But because none of you who have to KYC can do that from the US or Canada or India, it puts Bart in a very tough position.
So he's going to build some other tooling that can be open to any project, very much like he did the candy machine on Solana, which has done just billions and billions of dollars, right?
When I say Bart, I'm talking about the founder of the candy machine, got it?
Him and Jordan, they founded that.
They launched DAA, they helped E-Gods, they helped with Utes, all that.
Like, those are the guys right there, all right?
So they have the best exchange.
But that doesn't matter to the people who are filling FOMO and who are trying to get an order book experience.
Right now, it is very challenging to trade these tokens on Unisat and Magic Eden.
And until there is more, you know, I guess, infrastructure developed to facilitate and breaking down transactions in a more simple manner,
it's going to be difficult for people to buy and sell because if anything does pump, the amount of available shares is crazy.
Right now, our token is on Cube using an AMM to keep the price around three cents within a certain amount of tokens, like two million tokens or something.
So if people who have the token coming to them today decide to sell and they were to sell, you know, a million tokens or something, that price would start to go down, like it'd go down to one cent or whatever.
And if there were like a million tokens bought over X amount of time, it would go up to four cents or five cents.
So they've already implemented this tech, right?
But the thing is, the barrier to entry.
It's not like he's not aware of it.
It's just he lives in fucking Chicago.
So what is he supposed to do?
So at the end of the day, it's as simple as depositing Bitcoin.
Or was it the last space I was in?
I'm preaching a lot of rhetoric.
You talk on a lot of spaces.
I'm just fucking rhetoric, dude.
You don't even stop to breathe either, bro.
No, dude, I don't need to.
Breathing is for pussies, dude.
And double ape, I don't want to hear it.
I mean, at least I got a good take behind what I'm saying.
I'm waiting for the take.
I'm just waiting for him to like, all right, I'm going to pay you for the take.
I'm going to pay you for this spot because I just shilled my project for free again.
No, I was thinking, do I need to hit up Rocky?
You know what I'm saying?
My point is, if this goes through, well then it opens up the table for every one of them,
And it is actually very easy to do this.
With BRC20s, it was very challenging because of the inscribed to transfer.
So even though you were depositing to some of these sites, it was very hard to withdraw
and there was a long waiting period for withdrawals.
But with runes, there won't be because it works like Bitcoin.
And that's really the point of all of this, is this is a much bigger deal.
So they're talking it's going to take months for infrastructure.
It's going to take months for this to create this user experience.
Motherfucker, it looks like it's going to take a couple days to simplify the user experience.
Wait, so you're saying that the answer is centralized exchanges, right?
How did Bitcoin get to $73,000 if it wasn't for fucking centralized exchanges?
That's always been, it's always been the way, is make it easier for users to adopt this
and Bitcoin didn't start going crazy until it was easy to buy Bitcoin.
Look, if you guys want to buy some Intergalactic on spreadsheets, let's fucking run it.
Well, we just got an update 44 minutes ago.
The SEC delays Franklin Templeton's Ethereum spot ETF.
So a lot of people are basically saying the ETF is going to be launched for Ethereum in May.
Definitely looks like them trying to create some native yield by staking your Ethereum inside the ETF
and ETF is not going to pass and Gary's not going to let it happen.
So they've been delaying this.
And it looks like these ETFs are going to be pushed off maybe until after the election.
I don't know how this gets pushed through, but I think they asked for too much too soon.
And it looks like the spot ETFs for Ethereum are getting pushed back.
But I don't know what's going on.
Like, do we have any Swifties in the fucking audience?
Because I'm delivering a lot of shit from fucking Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift official store, 439 New Sanford Road, Lavergence, Tennessee.
It looks like she had a record.
And I'm delivering her new album.
I'm not a fan of hers, but that shit is everywhere on social media.
It's all over my fucking truck.
I got like 17 records I'm delivering of Taylor Swift today.
But on Saturday, I had like 60.
That's pretty cool because she just came out with it.
Friday, she came out with an album that she announced, I think, at the Grammys or whatever.
Like, they buy that shit digitally and then they need the fucking vinyl.
She's making a lot of money off of it.
She's already a billionaire.
She has to create those records so she can make a little profit.
But like kids like vinyl these days.
They don't even like streaming.
They're like, I want the old shit.
I'm delivering the fuck out of this.
Because they're limited edition, bro.
They're running in their back.
And I mean, I do live in Missouri, the Kansas City Chiefs.
I think we basically have a lot of Swifties here because of Travis Kelsey.
So maybe I'm just going to blame Travis Kelsey for all these deliveries today on these Taylor Swift records.
But let's go down to Steven.
The reason why you're seeing it is because apparently this album has the very first Travis Kelsey reference.
So that's probably why as many of them are going out in your area as they are.
But I wanted to drop one little tiny bit of breaking news.
Because apparently BRICS members are exploring stablecoin payments right now.
Just an interesting global development that may or may not have significant implications for the future of crypto.
So hope that you guys like that if you are from Brazil, Russia, India, China, or South Africa.
Otherwise, I guess, you know, we can fuck off with our fiat, right?
Yeah, I don't know how this is going to affect things.
But the one thing that is bullish, I don't know if you guys saw the Alex Finn, Mr. NFT God came out with a thread yesterday about how X is basically announced, X payments announced.
So everything just learned about to be insane future for access will become your bank account completely replace the services like Venmo, which I've been saying forever store your money and earn interest.
I don't know how the SEC is going to like that tip creators buy products from vendors and creators use X payments and physical stores.
Anyway, you use money, you'd be able to do it on X.
You should never have to take your money on X.
There is no social platform that will have this type of functionality.
This is absolutely explode the creator economy.
Creators will have more ways than ever to monetize.
2024 year is the year of X.
There is no platform more exciting to be on.
So it looks like we're going to start getting X payments here being rolled out before the summer.
And apparently from Alex, this is going to be a way to onboard the Web3 economy.
But other creators that are going to start moving over from YouTube and TikTok over to X based off these payment rails.
And I would imagine you'll be able to buy crypto on there, too.
So this could be bullish for Doge.
I know a lot of people are speculating that you'll be able to tip with Doge.
I don't think that's going to be the only cryptocurrency.
But yeah, it looks like this is going to be rolling out relatively soon.
They got licenses in like 25 states.
So yeah, it's going to be like Venmo, but on Twitter.
And I think that you'll be able to send and buy and trade crypto on here, too.
And maybe we can get runes on X here and swap between runes.
I don't know why we couldn't do that.
So pretty bullish news for crypto, but pretty bullish for, you know, replacing Venmo.
So today they just announced X TV this morning.
So apparently they're going to have their own shows.
I know Tucker Carlson was already pretty heavily in here, but it looks like they have like SpaceX probably just back in that kind of creator economy that they're really trying to trying to just build out through here.
It really seems like X is about to be the everything app.
So surely moving toward WWE on here.
There are some other announcements of like some other categories that are going to be able to be streamable on X.
Yeah, it looks like this app's getting built out pretty quickly and a lot of stuff can build in the background.
But yeah, a lot of a lot of changes coming to X in the next year.
You have a question then, because now you're making me want to like buy the stupid blue check.
Like, do you actually make, is it like, I don't know, does it pay for itself?
And what's the, I guess the rate of like the return for when you get the blue check?
I'm assuming that you're going to have to get one of those to be able to kind of recoup what you're talking about with X.
So yeah, like, like, what are people making, you know, that, yeah.
But I'm not talking about their furokes because, you know, that's a whole nother thing.
Like, I think it's like, you know, for like normal people that don't have huge followings and they kind of just post content.
You kind of see like maybe like 30, 40 bucks.
Like if you hit, if you're hitting like the minimum impressions.
And if you pay monthly, it's like, I think like 15 bucks for like the premium plus package of X.
So it kind of does pay for itself.
Well, if you do it through like desktop, it's cheaper.
Cause they charge you like an up fee because you're doing it through the app store.
So that's kind of always, always the easier bet.
Just do it through desktop and not the phone.
Um, and you'll get a huge discount, but you also get the Grok, the AI built into X.
No, I've, I've, I've seen that.
I can't access it, but I see it.
There's a ton of new features now.
And I, people use Grok for everything.
It's, it's kind of like their own search engine built in with, um, X.
And you can ask even like research on web three.
Like if, if you look at a project and you're like, Hey, can you tell me about node monkeys?
It'll do like a whole, whole bio on it.
So it's, it's, it's definitely building out like its own little ecosystem.
Then yeah, I'll give it a try.
Like I said, I'm on here enough.
I, I don't pay for the $22 one, but, uh, I, I hear there are benefits.
So definitely check those out.
What do we think about, what do we think is going to happen?
Isn't everyone over there tipping each other with fake coins.
Now we have like real pain.
I forgot to bring that up, dude.
I got airdropped some DJ in the other day.
I was like two weeks ago on a Friday.
I got airdropped $77 of DJ.
I think it's like a hundred dollars now, but I don't know what I did.
I have my wallets connected, but yeah, I think, I think still DJ in is a, is a play,
but we also have friend tech coming out here soon.
So maybe we're getting the revivance of like social fi and social media and web three.
Someone probably tipped you.
Cause I think you're incentivized to tip people right on there.
People are getting huge allocations now.
Like the third guys of the world are getting huge allocations to, to tip people.
And so basically if you follow or like interact with their stuff, or even if you don't, you
Um, I'm on, I joined Forcaster last week and I just like did a swap on a coin on like Emily's
post and he, he tipped me.
Um, yeah, it's, it's, I think signing up for Forcaster is pretty easy enough and, um,
you might just make some money off people giving you free money.
You know, my biggest problem, I think, I think board apes are going to have problems
on Forcaster because like, there's all these links you have to click and all these commands
And it just looks sketch, right?
It's like, I don't know who to believe or not, but I have to like click on this stuff.
So be careful clicking around over there.
Uh, it looks primed for some fishing links to be honest.
It's pretty, I don't know.
Like I definitely get your point, but I think you can kind of tell the difference and it's,
it's not as the same as X, but again, apes don't read.
So my, I will agree with you if that's what you think.
I will, you know, you can hesitate because you have like PTSD of these like fishing links,
but I'll, you know, you can miss out on a lot of money if you're not like, uh, being
active over there and clicking on.
I got to go deliver these packages to this church real quick.
Um, you guys can bring something up.
Um, no, yeah, really quick.
I didn't want to pin something to the top.
Ords are announced their airdrop, um, their upcoming airdrop.
Um, so a couple, I would say like a month ago, they started doing the boxes similar to blur.
So if you just connected your wallet, you got some boxes.
So it looks like that'll start in two days.
I know people mentioned those orders are passes and that's beneficial for this too.
So, um, yeah, if, if you haven't, I would say just go to orders are and do the, the box claim.
And then that'll start pretty soon on phase zero and then phase one will be right after.
So, um, yeah, looking pretty good on that one too.
Um, and then, uh, kind of just going back to what we were talking about Jupiter as well,
opening up to the top, it looks like they are kind of building out their own wallet and
looks like they're trying to make it super easy to trade on, on their mobile.
Um, basically trading any token anywhere, um, with zero one click and zero fees.
So the beta is going to start in May.
So it looks like they pretty much bought that wallet and are ready to roll it out pretty soon.
Um, so that's, that's looking pretty good as well.
Selling may go away, right?
So, um, those are pretty good.
Um, and then I see X posted up some to the top, another community or drop from the RIO network.
Our weave is kind of creating their own ecosystem.
And, uh, you know, our weave is like a file storage, but I think they're like pivoting a little bit to kind of, it says, ARO is a network of decentralized gateways and permanent domains.
For the R weave ecosystem.
And they have like this airdrop that you could do.
Our community airdrops are coming, running a gateway using an R weave name service, delegate stake our gateway operators, upload data through our drive app.
You're ahead of the game.
There is still time to be early, get involved now and stay tuned.
Uh, so, um, here's also another post from there and learn more about the ar.o network testnet.
Um, join our discord breed.
Um, the network token white paper.
Um, this is the last post of the thread.
So yeah, are we, uh, looks to, you know, not just a file storage, uh, thing for salon anymore.
It looks like they're getting into like AI and name services.
And it looks something similar, uh, to ENS here where if you have a name service and you're basically using their R weave name service or delegate stake to a gateway operators.
Looks like you're going to be eligible for, um, their token airdrop, uh, possibly.
So throwing it up there as an opportunity.
If you do, or if you do want to get involved, there you go.
I know they have meme coins that are being built on top of it now.
So definitely, uh, looking to get more and more into that kind of ecosystem.
Uh, pretty bullish on our weave, but, uh, that's something that I saw yesterday.
And then obviously we've had news of D gods consider returning to Solana.
I don't know how that's going to affect the price, but the price has been up, uh, since the announcement.
I don't know if the salon people are going to bring back, uh, Frank with open arms or if they're going to continue to troll him.
Um, but yeah, that's the price is up.
Uh, I think it was like 1.6 each this morning for D God.
So it looks like they are returning to Solana here relatively soon.
And it'd just be interesting to see how this, uh, floor price, uh, reacts to having assets on like four different blockchains.
I don't know if that's bullish or bearish.
It's probably more bullish because instead of having a 10 K collection on D guides, you probably have more of an 8 K collection.
Cause you have shit on like four different chains or maybe like you are going to be similar.
So, uh, pretty, pretty crazy there.
Listen, when you're winning, it's hard to stay mad at people.
I would imagine that BTC D guides will be able to be bridge too, but I think they're going to be launching some rooms for BTC D guides also.
I think I've heard some rumblings about maybe a rune for the D guides too.
Um, Binance, uh, unveils a spot copy trading feature and automated strategy tool expansion.
So Binance is basically launching some tools, um, that you can basically automate, uh, copy trading other wallets and stuff.
I don't know if that's something you're interested in, but definitely something to look at.
Um, there's a pretty cool, uh, Twitter that's called AltsDaddy that basically gives you, uh, what people have been shilling the most on Twitter.
Um, which is pretty cool.
And it basically lists, uh, the top 10, uh, each day.
So Monday's top tweeted all coins were Dion, Velo, Naka, BRN, CAS, FET, Render, UPO, props, and Rio.
Um, you know, this is tokenized attention.
Uh, this is, they're keeping track of the most tweeted, tweeted things.
So if some of these are coming up to your, uh, to your, if you don't, if you didn't expect any of these, or you saw this, this might be a good opportunity to look into it.
And, you know, people are tweeting these, I never heard of Dion, so maybe that's one to get into.
Um, but yeah, that was something, uh, that I saw this morning.
And then Coinbase launches Pepe, which is pumping the price of Pepe, uh, pretty drastically since they're able to, uh, perpetual futures are now on Coinbase for Pepe.
And then, um, Carrot for my pet hooligan was, uh, TGE was over the weekend and they got listed on crypto.com right off the bat.
So my pet hooligan has been building for two and a half years or so.
And, uh, you know, we did have some alpha back during the game five when block dice games and grape was going on about Carrot and their token.
And all you need to do is buy one of their, uh, NFTs that had, uh, tokens attached to it.
And you were able to get this carrot airdrop or the CGE.
And it looks like that token automatically got listed on crypto.com.
I don't know if anybody uses crypto.com, but pretty bullish on my pet hooligan for the long run.
So that's some stuff that I also saw.
Um, but one thing that's relatively new that I didn't see a lot of people talking about is this called shards official.
Um, so I'll pin up the tweet and give you guys a little breakdown of what shards does, uh, does look like an opportunity for people.
Um, so I'll kind of read the kind of the breakdown that I got for it.
So, uh, shards, uh, uh, so shards launched their shards farming campaign about 10 days ago.
How only a few days ago, they've launched the official social farming side.
This airdrop will likely be huge and definitely one to get involved with.
If you have some spare time shards was created with the purpose of introducing new game monetization, uh, mechanics, aligning community building with profit sharing.
As web three gaming becomes more and more prominent, big gaming communities will recognize the importance of shards as they took continuously ensure their communities are well looked after shards official is the first platform of its kind.
Shards is already secured investments from big players in the space, including earn Alliance, YGG, and its co-founder Gabby design, a cyber ventures and crypto.com capital.
Its platform is already in the use of some of the web three biggest games.
It's games that has over a hundred thousand users and plus 15 more games in the pipeline.
So, uh, how easy is the farm shards?
You basically sign up on their app app.shards.tech slash point system.
From here, they have a points tab, connect to your X account and begin either posting content with tags at the shards official.
And if you do not want to post on X, you can also complete the platform quests, such as bridging ETH or inviting friends or social quests, allowing liking, following retweeting and commenting.
There is also a daily check, which grants you, uh, points as well.
The points you earn will be converted into shards for their upcoming airdrop.
So this is something happening in a lot of people, but they do have some backing by some big people like crypto.com and YGG.
It's another social platform.
I've seen a bunch of people start doing the social, uh, engagement farming.
Somo has one, uh, and I feel a few other ones.
Um, now I don't know how popular that's going to be now that Elon's basically said, if you're engagement farming, we're going to track you to,
the source and ban your ass.
So I don't know how, how appealing that is now that you have that threat, but here's another kind of social fi shards campaign that you can get in, do daily tasks and earn points similar to portal, similar to the block dice game and similar to the place.
So, so all this, then hear a lot of people talking about it.
It does have some good backing.
So just another opportunity for, if you do want to make, uh, make some free money, uh, and do the social engagement.
Um, Steven Miller, go ahead, my guy.
So this one just came out, um, within the last hour, those of you that have been sleeping under a rock.
Um, there's a really big, uh, generative artist named Tyler Hobbs, who's done a lot of work over on Ethereum.
Um, that gentleman has just celebrated his 10 year anniversary of being a generative artist.
And in doing so just dropped his very first art book, um, called order and disorder.
And it's being dropped through unit London.
Um, there is a collector's edition and a trade edition.
The collector's edition is limited to 999 copies and is chipped with an NFC chip.
Um, so you can kind of, in my opinion, assume there's something attached.
Um, I would highly suggest going and considering picking one up.
They'll be shipping in September, but I'm a huge Tyler Hobbs fan have been like for years and years and years.
But, um, I know his work is not for everybody.
So if you love his work, if you dig it, definitely worth going and taking a look at it and potentially collecting one.
Cause there may be something attached.
Um, otherwise that is one of two pieces I had that I wanted to share with you.
Um, I'll make sure that's pinned to the top for you.
The other one is where did it go?
Uh, there is a drop coming up on Wednesday.
Three unit London from Casey race.
So Casey is one of the like more established long-term generative artists.
He teaches that a couple of the bigger institutions in the States and has done master classes around the world.
He has a drop coming with unit London tomorrow that I would just be aware of.
It's called wet and saturated process.
Um, it's also featured on the thumbnail artwork for this week's all eyes on art.
I'm just fascinated by it because Casey has done a lot of really like groundbreaking work in terms of light studies and, um, a lot of really interesting geometric work.
This is something that's very new for him.
So to me, whenever I see an artist kind of breaking out of their stylistic choices, but still pushing things forward in a way that is very native to them.
I get really excited about it.
So I'm kind of excited about this one.
I think it's worth watching.
Not a lot is known in terms of the supply, um, and the mint price, but it's worth keeping on radar.
So I'll make sure that both of those are pinned up at the top momentarily.
Um, so we have the NIM airdrop that's going to be coming to dimension stakers.
Um, it hasn't been airdrop, but there is a proposal, uh, for dimension stakers.
If you are looking to get this airdrop, I would go vote.
Um, just so you're, you're active and that, you know, if you care about NIM, you know, they, if you vote, it shows that you care about what's going on.
So NIM on April 28th, uh, 28th, it's a four day, uh, thing, go time to cash your vote.
So if you have staked dimension, go onto the dashboard and vote.
If you pass it or you want to keep neutral, or if you wanted to, uh, you know, decline the vote, I think it, it's about some kind of dimension in the roll app and something about the white, uh, how they're going to roll it out.
But if you do want this NIM airdrop, I think it would be pretty smart for you.
If you stake to vote on this, they might use it as some kind of multiplier.
So just wanted to throw that up there.
If you have been staking dimension, I've been waiting for this NIM airdrop for like two weeks now.
I don't know when it's going to be rolling out, but it looks to be 15 airdrops ready to come out for dimension stakers in the next month or two.
And, uh, yeah, can't wait.
I don't know if any of this stuff amounts to anything.
A lot of the stuff that has been airdrop recently has been basically pennies on the dollars.
So we'll see how this one turns out.
So just wanted to throw it out there.
If you are staking dimension, get up there, uh, put a vote in, make sure that you do get that airdrop.
Um, so I think that probably, you know, I'm, I have, I've talked a lot today.
So I think it probably ended.
If anybody has anything else they want to talk about, feel free to come up.
But, uh, I think I'm probably rewind it down here and, uh, get back to delivering these packages.
So anybody wants to come up, share some alpha before we end it.
Um, if not, then I'll just end the space and, uh, we'll go from here.
But I guess one thing that I haven't mentioned was, uh, we've been talking forever about, uh, bats and, uh, the keyboards, my keyboards.
It looks like he had something on 420 and he's basically, uh, created this way to create memes, uh, by minting.
Uh, so I don't know exactly the dynamics, but I have a post from here.
Think about how memes are distributed and proliferated always by a collected group of individuals, not the creator.
This is exactly why, uh, creators and collectors of memes have an option to mutate the meme however they want.
Conceptually, it made zero sense to approach it from any other way.
So it looks like you're able to, uh, you know, mint these and then kind of create them the way that you want to create them.
Um, basically it says it's time to meme memes by bats is now live details, threads, et cetera, to follow highlight dot XYZ slash mint is where you go.
And, uh, so four keys are required to burn and mint for the above.
Uh, so you can link to the keys.
We've been talking about these keys forever and, uh, it looks like you need to burn four of them.
You need to burn four of them to actually mint one of these for odd numbered tokens, not visible like four.
I have minted 28 sketches that were visual explorations preceding this project.
One key, one key equals one sketch as many additions available until mint closes.
And you can go to the link there.
Um, so yeah, bad to basically been talking about these forever.
It looks like he went, uh, deployed these on four 20 and you're going to need these keyboards to burn to get these memes.
Uh, Steven, you know, a little bit more about this.
Honestly, it's been one of the more complicated mints in recent history that I have not been able to keep up with.
Cause he just, he made keys so hard to follow.
Um, but I have a ton of respect for bats and we'll definitely be shopping at secondary.
Um, I, I wanted to make sure that I gave one quick plug, um, for the fact that there's a lot of really great spaces today.
If you're trying to just break out of the rhythm of hearing about ruins, ruins, ruins, ruins, ruins.
I think the ruins are great, but I think that at a certain point, like we're just an echo chamber.
So if you want to hear some like relatively new breaking stuff that's out there in the art world, um, transient labs and Toco Deco collaborated on something that is apparently going to be making history.
In terms of how art is perceived in spatial computing environments would really recommend checking out this space.
I don't know too terribly much about it, but it's called the dawn of the spatial era.
And they are going to be talking about that later on this afternoon.
Um, but please also feel free to drop into color commentary this evening and art as alpha with NFT.
Now, I believe around 1230 my time, which is three 30 Eastern, but you can check that out over on NFT.
Now's page to get the times right for that.
And Steven hosts our weekly, uh, daily ours.
It's a, it's an art centric alpha show.
So that's going to be tonight at 6 p.m.
And, uh, yeah, we'll have that retweeted.
That will also be updated in Allison's thread.
He's fucking continue to grow.
Um, so tune in the Steven show.
Um, and I think that does it for us.
Um, I've been talking way too much as shows a lot harder.
Um, when I'm doing all the work here, but it will be, it'll get better.
I think chief's birthday's tomorrow and he won't be here.
So if you guys want to wish chief a happy birthday, get inside his DMS tomorrow and wish that man a happy birthday.
Um, and he also has some other stuff.
I'll let him announce when he comes back.
Um, so yeah, I appreciate you guys coming to the daily alpha.
We host a space Tuesday through Saturday from nine 45 to about 12.
Um, we'll be back tomorrow.
And then also tune in, uh, to Steven's show tonight.
And then like, and retweet the thread by Allison when she drops in about two to three hours after the show.
So we appreciate you guys.
It's TD or stay poor and we'll see you tomorrow.
Guys, stay safe and I'll see you on the timeline.
Talk to you guys tomorrow.
