THE DAILY ALPHA💥💥
Recorded: March 16, 2024 Duration: 1:35:22Space Recording
Full Transcription
This week, my profile pictures change, the logos change.
Hopefully you guys can recognize me.
So I'm an OMB motherfucker.
And then we got Habibi up here now.
What up, Habibi?
Right, bro.
It's like not only a rebrand for a TDA, but for all of us.
So it's all good.
It's the villain arc.
That's right.
That's right.
When I saw, I mean, a lot of people like yours a lot, man.
I've seen a lot of positive comments saying that's their favorite one.
I manifested this one.
I don't know if you saw earlier this week.
I was like, I want this hoodie with this AK-47 or N16.
And I sat there yesterday and was praying and doing, you know, Hail Marys and rubbing four-leaf clover together.
And I sat there and I'm like, I'm going to wait for the menpool to clear this.
I'm not going to cheat.
And I waited, like, 30 minutes.
It cleared, turned on Magic Eden, and got this.
And I was just, like, floored.
I was like, this is what I wanted.
So, yeah, I'm super grateful.
I'm burnt out as fuck this week.
It's just been a lot of just blessings.
And I'm just happy to be here and just been, you know, blessed with opportunities.
And I don't know, man.
This week's been fucking nuts.
I think a lot of people have made, like, pretty good money.
There's been a lot of, you know, we've had RuneStones airdrops to random people.
We've had Bum go to a billion dollars.
We've got people getting OMBs.
It's just been a really, really good week.
And I'm just kind of like, what's your way for, right?
Yeah.
You can't beat this week, though.
This week has been probably one of the better weeks for, like, the whole Web3 community than for, like, since, like, 21, I feel like.
So, I'm just sitting here and just, like, grateful for me.
But I'm just grateful for a lot of people that are making money and stuff.
And I'm kind of burnt out because it's just, like, dopamine all over the place.
So, really quick, let's just do some housekeeping.
Also, Alpha, we're having issues with you connecting, my man.
So, it's just spinning.
But we'll get you up here.
Either drop down and reconnect.
So, first and foremost, we got Allison's thread pinned up to the top.
Shout out to you guys for supporting us, how you guys do.
Shout out to you guys supporting Allison as well.
Taking time out of our day to do this recap.
It's a way for you guys to listen to the space but also go through this thread and kind of pick and choose what applies to you, how, you know, you're going to use it, and how you're going to do your own research.
So, shout out to Allison for doing that.
That's also how we allocate any kind of whitelist, any kind of participation.
Anything that we do here at the TDA is in a sense of deserve to earn, kind of a proof to work, proof of work.
And the work is free, right?
Just go support us, show love, and, you know, we show love back.
Next, we got pinned up to the top, I'm So.
Shout out to Chris Mann for sponsoring us for the beginning of this month, last month as well, bringing us into this BitBat Valley in the I'm So universe.
I'm So is an interoperable cross-chain infrastructure and ecosystem between Bitcoin and Solana.
It's powered by the Evolve token, which you can find on your favorite sacks or decks.
Currently, you can earn Bonk and other crypto by playing the Endless Runner.
Slated with five different mini-games to come by the end of the quarter.
And then a little bit more info up top, Chris has just shared something with me in a couple of the DMs as just kind of a summary of everything we've learned about.
The I'm So ecosystem over the last month and a half, and then just what's to come.
So, first and foremost, for everyone in the TDA that did participate in his ornament,
there will be an airdrop of the TAP token and other land assets, as well as the BitMap Valley kind of integration into that.
So, something to keep in mind, whether you have one champion or two, each one gets its own kind of like loot box allocation.
If you buy on secondary, there's also a different tier, but you are entitled to all the airdrops as well.
And then lastly, just to finish it off, he was just explaining that he's in the process of setting himself up for full integration with OKX to support their BVM wallet.
And kind of really on board and double down on onboarding the Asians, right?
That's one of those things that he had a huge influx of kind of just Asian interest to the point where he even had to bring on the translator.
So, shout out to Chris and I'm So Man, got my champion chilling in the wallet, just waiting to see what's cooking up, man.
It's been a pleasure, and I think this is the last show we're sponsoring.
So, shout out to Chris for believing in us and using our platform to kind of promote his project, man.
It's super grateful.
Like I said, this week has been kind of overwhelming, like not just for me, but I think for a lot of people are just kind of been grinding out this bear market.
And some people have missed some things, but I'm pretty sure in the past month, if you tuned in to TDA or you've just been participating for the past two or three months, you've hit on something and you stumbled into $1,000 or $2,000, $3,000.
Heard so many people say they got into BOEM and just used that money to mint OMBs.
I'm just, I'm overwhelmed, and I'm just kind of like, dopamine's just everywhere, and I'm kind of running out at this point.
And I'm kind of glad this is the last show of the week because I need two days off to just to like recalibrate.
It's just been kind of overwhelming seeing, like even our birthday, just people coming up here, giving us props, you know, saying thank you, and then just seeing everybody else just succeed.
It's just, it's a really big week for everybody, and I'm just super grateful to be here and participate and just be here for the ride with you guys.
And I think this will probably go down, you know, in history.
Like we'll talk about this five, 10, 15 years from now.
Like you believe like we were part of this, this time, and look at the opportunities.
We were here, like remember the good old days when we got airdropped for just participating for a few hundred dollars on a chain.
Like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I'm just happy that I've met all you guys and that we're doing this together.
I feel like this week has been a big win for the whole Web3 space.
It's kind of bringing back Wagme vibes where everybody's kind of participated in one some way or somehow in the past month.
Well, it's in that nature, like, similar to kind of what you're saying, right?
To me, it's, there's always times, right?
There's times for planting, and then there's times for, you know, going out there and picking what you planted, right?
And so we-
There'll be time enough for counting when the deal is done.
Well, yeah.
And then, I mean, the real basis of this, right, is the fact that you sit in the cut, you learn these tools,
you learn how to navigate the space, you're losing money, you're seeing other people get dubs,
you really don't understand kind of why or what's going on, right?
But the reality is, I mean, that's just practice.
You're just showing up for practice every day trying to hit the ball, right?
Because that way, when you do show up to a field like this of full abundance, you know exactly how to move, right?
And that's what we've been practicing for.
It's not for these singles, right?
Like, people think, oh, I've been practicing for two years, I got a single, I'm good.
No, no, no, the single is cool.
Everyone hits singles, everyone hits doubles.
Don't discredit yourself, right?
But in reality, we sit here and we get familiar with all these tools.
We need to know, like, what to do, what's fake, know how to DYOR, all that bullshit is for situations like this.
So when you do see all this opportunity, you're like, I've been waiting, right?
I know how to go in and out.
I know how to set slippage.
I know how to use a bot.
I know how to move to this location.
Hey, money's going to rotate here.
This is where it went last cycle.
Let me just check.
I'm not going to ape, but now I know to check.
This is where money rotates for, right?
So to me, I really think that that's kind of situations like this.
And if you were caught, I would say in the sideline, not as prepared, didn't have all your tools ready, didn't know what to do.
Don't get mad.
Don't hate on the next man.
All you got to do is figure out, yo, what tool are you using for that?
Cool.
Let me get familiar because next time this comes around, I need to know how to go in and get out, right?
What are you doing for that?
Where did you find this?
So use this L, so to speak, as a learning experience.
Like, go ask people who are winning and figure out, hey, how did you prepare yourself for this?
How were your bags ready?
And so that's just what I see, man.
It's kind of like we've been here for two years or in the bear and everyone been riding it out.
No real bull, right?
But it's for situations that when you get weeks like this, and this is the first one, there'll be plenty more.
And so when you get weeks like this, you know how to execute.
100%.
We're just breaking structures.
Like, being at an all-time high before the halving.
Have a meme coin on Solana.
Go to a billion-dollar market cap in two weeks.
Like, we're in calf market.
This is even the bull market.
You're probably going to have fucking, and by the end of this, a fucking meme coin that goes to a billion market cap in less than 24 hours.
You just continue to break past norms.
And it just makes me, like, super bullish on this space.
And the people that have been here participating know the tools.
You guys are going to fucking kill it, man.
So shout out to y'all.
Shout out for participating.
And I'm just, like I said, I'm kind of just like, man, I need two days off.
This has been overwhelming just seeing everybody win and just all the support.
So shout out to you.
We got some boys up here.
We got some of my favorite people.
We got Alpha up here.
We got Swag.
We got English.
I'm going to go throw it down to Alpha real quick.
How you doing, my guy?
Glad to be on the same team as you now, man.
Been waiting a long time for this, so shout out to you, man.
Yeah, bro.
Like, this is all a test, bro.
Like, a lot of people that got these PFPs are, like, being tested as we speak.
Like, and, like, it's going to be the next filter out moment.
And it's going to be cool to see everyone getting filtered out and, like, people that need the money, which is cool and stuff like that.
But it's going to be, like, who's going to, like, withstand the fight, bro?
So, like, so it's a fight right now.
And you got to keep fighting it and just believe what this is going to do.
Like, these pictures are going to be selling for, like, 200K, 300K plus.
So you have the fight in you, you know.
But, nah, besides that, man, I'm, like, super, like, super happy.
I'll always, you guys are always Alpha in here, bro.
So, like, I just pulled up.
Like, I haven't pulled up in a long, long time.
I'm always just chilling downstairs and just, like, do my thing.
But I think this is one of those days.
We got to pull up and just show, like, got to show those fucking eyes, bro.
Flex those eyes.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, I've always, I always appreciated your support, regardless if I was at OMB or not.
But, like, just, like, ZK's message resonates with me so much.
If you knew me in real life and you know where I came from and where I kind of step away from to get to this space,
you would know that everything ZK stands for in this movement is right up my alley.
I just couldn't participate in that political environment anymore because it was stressing me the fuck out.
But everything ZK talks about, promotes, even the images, the political images,
I know exactly what he's talking about and exactly what he's doing.
So, this is, like, out of all the NFTs and all the collections that I've seen,
this is the one that resonates with me the most.
And that's why I changed my profile picture, right?
Because this isn't something I'm looking to sell.
I want to be part of the movement because I've been part of this movement since 2013.
And I just kind of had to step away and just sacrifice that cycle for learning about crypto.
And it's kind of all kind of intertwined now.
And it's all kind of, like, a perfect, like, I wouldn't be here without that.
But it's also just, like, the opportunity arise, right?
And the cool thing is that, like, a lot of the people that are rocking Orange Eyes now
were, like, meticulously chosen, right?
Like, you guys have an OMB for a reason.
Like, and that was, like, literally, you have to understand what reason it is.
And if you want to be part of that reasoning, you'll fit that reason.
But, like, if you have an OMB or you're doing that, it was meticulously picked, bro.
Like, yeah.
Oh, we've heard stories, my guy.
We have heard stories.
Yeah, even the people getting, like, the denials, right?
It's kind of wild on that note.
And it's one of those things that, like, yeah, people were talking in the crowd about paying
the 0.9.
And I'll tell you this, man.
As someone who has sat and participated in Normals for a long time and been taught many
lessons, right, have seen us fucking around and shit being from $2 to $90k to the idea of,
hey, is this more than just us chasing money?
What is the bigger picture here?
It takes a while, right, for you to actually learn that.
But once you do and, like, you feel the coin drop and it clicks, you realize you're, like,
all right, cool.
This is, it's a little bit more than money.
Like, I was more than eager to pay the 0.29.
Like, yo, please let me in.
You know, choose me.
And so it's a little bit different approach once you kind of hit that pivot point.
Yeah, 100%.
And, Alpha, I don't know your time, so I'm going to get right to the question because you
might be in or out, but Tiny Vikings, man.
I talked to you about it earlier this morning on the community space, but we've put a lot
of people on the FMO token, spreading that out to Wallet, and I started receiving my Tiny
Vikings last night.
So can you kind of break down what's going on here?
The airdrop isn't complete.
I just want you to kind of confirm, like, what's going on with Tiny Vikings and all that
shit.
If you can give us, like, a brief breakdown on it real quick before you leave.
Yeah, so, like, the team, like, we paid, like, over, like, almost one Bitcoin to do
all this.
And we have, like, we picked out, like, the most, like, degen, OG community to airdrop
a lot of these stuff, right?
Like, if you hold Fullmoon FMO, like, it's our BRC20 token.
That's part of our ecosystem.
Fullmoon is just, like, a DeFi, like, Bitcoin experimental project that does a lot of different
protocols.
So that's one of the protocols that you got rewarded, right?
So, like, I also run, like, Tiny Vikings, right?
And Tiny Vikings is a runes project that is actually a media content creation, right?
So, like, you'll see that Tiny Viking actually develop kind of more dynamic than your typical
runes token.
So eventually it will turn into, like, a 2D to a 3D, like, image that you'll be able
to toggle back and forth just from, like, the code that we inscribed into it.
So, yeah.
So if you had FMO, you hold the Cub, you had some of these collections, you'll be airdropped
to Tiny Vikings.
And, like, Tiny Vikings should be listed on Magic Eden.
Let's say Wednesday we should be done.
We specifically batch at around, like, 10 to 15 sats for B-Bite to just make sure that
that cost is, like, around that, like, 1 to 0.8 Bitcoin.
That's, like, what we want to budget into airdropping all you guys.
But if you had 10K FMO, you're 100% going to get one.
All OMB holders will get one.
Puppets, PMBs, Quantum Cats, Bitcoin Frogs.
A bunch of different little, like, yeah.
We just picked a lot of OG collections that, like, I fucked with.
And I know, like, even, yeah.
A lot of different, even, like, low-key, like, collections that, like, no one even knows
about in the space.
I just, like, decided just, like, all right.
These are, like, they have to have one, blah, blah, blah.
And, like, it's just, like, all of it is an experiment.
And this experiment is going to do well.
Like, if you look at what Tiny Vikings are, like, Segaverse, like, had, like, $2 million
raised from, like, Forbes and stuff like that.
So, like, yeah, it's going to be kind of cool, guys.
Oh, we would put people on.
I think the majority of the space has FMO based off the alpha that you gave, Chief.
And then we kind of dispersed that through the space and let people know, like, hey, get
this in your wallets.
And I've walked through probably two or three people on how to transcribe and put it into
separate wallets.
So, everybody should be prepared.
And I just wanted to clear up the airdrop and, you know, and making sure that there was
more to be airdropped.
Because I was kind of like, two?
Like, fuck, man.
I got, like, seven.
No, I'm not saying.
I would just kind of like.
And the worst thing for me, I don't like to show anything because I like to provide
alpha.
I don't come here and show my shit, bro.
If you want to know about myself, you go and hit me up.
I was doing it for you.
You know, it's like, you know, shilling is the worst, like, habit, bro.
Like, I don't like to train people to come up here and show, bro, because this is an alpha
space, right?
Stay poor if you don't get any alpha.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
And the community achievement talking about this is how this OMB community kind of reminds
us of the Bored Ape community back in 21, where a lot of the top projects came out of
the Bored Ape community.
And you guys are starting to start your own projects.
And, you know, having an OMB and being part of this community is going to give you, you know,
probably priority access to all these ordinal projects that a lot of these red eyes, blue
eyes, and green eyes are going to start, you know, pushing out during farther and farther
this bull market is.
So, yeah, I mean, hearing you guys this morning talk about, like, it was pretty much paid.
Everything you've been airdropped and participating has pretty much paid off all your OMBs over
time.
So, just looking forward to, you know, connecting with you guys and just learning what you guys
are building and getting the kind of, like, inside edge on it.
So, shout out to you, bro.
Shout out to you.
But, yeah, let's get down to Meta.
You have his hand up, and then I'll just throw it over to my other boy, Swag.
And we got English up here, and we got Solana Sweeper.
So, what up, Meta?
Long time, no talk, my guy.
Bro, it's been forever since I've been on this stage.
I can't believe it, yo.
Fucking crazy, yo.
I can't believe that I saw y'all with, like, rocking OMBs.
Bro, what a fucking ride.
I mean, what a ride.
I've been watching you guys, and I got to be honest, you guys are the guys that taught
me how to fucking make Bitcoin out of thin air, bro.
Like, before I met you guys and I was in the TDA, I thought Bitcoin was something that
was out of my reach, bro.
Just looked at the fucking, looked at how much it was.
I was like, yo, this is out of my reach.
I'm not going to.
Y'all dudes showed me how to fucking make straight up cash out of thin air in Bitcoin.
And I appreciate everything that you guys have done.
I haven't been able to come up here and throw flowers for you guys, but what a ride and what
a circle to see you guys rocking the OMBs from the honorary node monks.
And I got to say, it is an upgrade.
Chief, your shit is a banger, bro.
Holy shit, bro.
That shit looks fucking fire.
I love it, man.
I love y'all.
I just wanted to come up here and give you guys your flowers.
I appreciate you guys so much.
Come on, you got to shut out the reptilian hoodie, too.
If it wasn't for these guys, if it wasn't for these guys, I wouldn't have made a bag
on OXPT.
I wouldn't have made, I wouldn't have got 14 fucking rune stone airdrops, bro.
If I wasn't paying attention, if I wasn't throwing fucking all this shit that I've been
doing for the past, since fucking summer, bro.
I mean, bro, I can't say enough.
I just want to say it's TDA or stay poor.
I love you guys.
I appreciate everything that you guys do in this space.
It's mad love.
Chief says it all the time.
Shout out to you for participating when everybody was calling ordinals dead and everybody was
calling this space a joke.
So you had conviction while the whole world was telling you you're wrong.
So shout out for you for supporting the idea that cryptocurrency can actually be a thing.
That's you.
That's you.
You did it all, bro.
Yeah, we gave you the information, but you clicked the buttons.
You had the conviction.
And that's half the battle.
So shout out to you, Meta, man.
Shout out to you, bro.
And you do this all like, what time is it where you're at, bro?
You're doing this in the middle of the night sometimes.
Shout out to you, bro.
No, it's actually daytime for me.
Every time you guys go on, like, in the morning is, like, when my real work, like, stops.
And I'm sorry I haven't been able to come through and, like, provide alpha.
I've just been, like, really busy.
I somehow landed a Web3 job, which is fucking stupid because I thought I was trying to get away from that and just be, like, you know, a degen and fucking throwing money at everything and see what happens.
And then somehow I've got into, like, doing tasks, bro.
And it makes it so hard to come up in the space.
But I will definitely pull up more.
I just wanted to come up and shit.
Bro.
What's your time zone, bro?
It fucking warms the heart to see you guys.
What time zone are you at?
I mean, UTC plus, I'm, like, not UTC, Central European time, basically, plus two.
But I got to say this.
It warms the heart to see you guys rocking OMBs, bro.
Straight up, bro.
And I used to be, like, am I going to ever buy an OMB?
I'm watching you two, two of my favorite fucking people in Ordinals, rocking it, bro.
Bro, I ain't got no words, bro.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's fucking awful.
I'm grateful.
I'm blessed.
Shout out to you, Swag.
Yeah, man.
It's great.
Metta, I mean, you were a pivotal part and you are a pivotal part of the community.
Whether you come up or not, I mean, you were here laying bricks down when other people didn't want to lay bricks down.
And, you know, like, whether or not you passed the mantle on or you're always welcome to come up and, you know, continue it on,
and that's the whole point, though, right?
It's about contributing while you're here, while you're around, and really making the best of while you're around, right?
Because, once again, we told you guys, I mean, the idea, the way I see shit, right?
I mean, a tree trunk, right?
The trunk is 20% of everything, right?
But it's what keeps you grounded.
So we're the trunk.
You guys are all the branches.
Y'all are the leaves.
Y'all go out, do your own fucking thing.
Go expand.
Be yourself, right?
But at the end of the day, the base knowledge comes from the trunk, right?
The base where you can always come back, and if you need anything, we're here.
So, I mean, just change the way you look at shit.
In a sense, we're all working with each other, right?
It's just one is not better than the other, right?
There's just a lot more branches and a lot more leaves.
Therefore, you look bigger.
But at the end of the day, one can't be without the other.
So we need you guys just as much as you guys want us or need us.
So, go ahead, English.
Oh, I am muted by accident.
But what's going on, GM, brother?
What up, brother?
Just a good day, man.
Like Expresso said, I think it's just good for everybody, bro.
I think, you know, spirits are high.
People are feeling good.
People are winning again.
0.03.
Sheesh.
What's 0.03?
The rune stones hit 0.03.
Oh, I've been saying it, dude.
Like, I get a feeling when things are, like, this new kind of thing.
And, like, as cool as R6 was, and who knows?
Maybe it does as well, maybe better.
Like, I don't know.
Like, it's nobody knows.
I don't know.
Nobody knows.
But my gut feeling is that, like, the network effect, the timing, the actual aesthetics of
the rune stone.
I've been people seeing, like, incorporating that rune stone into, like, memes.
Like, into a bong, like, oh, like, the ice in a bong, and, you know, into their, like,
family photographs and stuff.
And, like, I could just see that picking up.
It's, like, there's going to be a specific ticker that goes along.
It's not going to be called rune stone.
But by that time, people are so attached to that, like, ecosystem, whether they, like,
they made money by selling it, by their holding it, by they got, like, airdrops from it.
Um, the interesting thing is that, like, the value of R6 goes down over time, but not necessarily
your allocation.
That might be a pro or it might be a con, because it might, like, steal away the momentum, because
people just see the floor price going down, even though the market cap isn't necessarily
going down when you do the math.
But, like, optics are everything.
And I just think it has a ton of momentum.
And if you see this start to be swept even more and more higher, people are going to be
like, well, obviously, that's the one.
And so right now, even at that price, it's still, like, a 300 million market cap or less
coin.
And I think if he, he's been pretty smart about this.
If he picks, like, a really good ticker that people just like, that it's funny or it's
iconic or whatever the case may be, and, you know, fungible tokens are hot and all this
other stuff, I mean, and if people get airdrops based on this allocation, because, like, although
I'm not that familiar with Solana, like, I know one of, like, the benefits of Bonk was,
like, a really, really wide distribution.
And this has the widest distribution of ordinals.
In a way, like, there's a narrative being forming that this is, like, the token to unify
all ordinals communities.
And that's a pretty strong narrative.
Well, on that note, too, it's like they're completely different mechanics, right?
One is, like, a flat IOU, like, you bring this in, and I hand you your allocation, and
this is what each one of these, if you have 50 of these, if you get 10 tokens, you're going
to get, you know what I'm saying, 10 tokens times 50.
The other one is an actual miner, and that's kind of what you were saying, that perception
of floor price going down, when in reality, it's, you retain everything that you're supposed
to redeem in, right?
Your IOU isn't the miner.
The miner is just what allows you to get more, quote-unquote, IOUs.
So, obviously, if you sit here and you're like, all right, cool, I've stacked my bag.
I no longer need this miner.
I want to sell it before the miner is worthless, right?
Just like any kind of mining is if you're doing, like, hey, I want to sell before the
halving, before it gets harder to mine.
I need new equipment.
So, it's just an opt-in kind of thing.
But, yeah, the floor price on that one, R6 has kind of slowly been dwindling down.
Right?
I don't know if it's just newfound attention due to the runestone themselves, but runestones
are sitting at a .028 floor right now, and R6 are at .068.
It'll keep going down.
There's no way.
Like, the smart money, like, does the calculations, the people that swept the people there, like,
they're just going to know that it keeps becoming lower value.
Like, obviously, there's other things that go into it, like, okay, does this give you,
like, access to something outside of just one ticker, a text?
You know, is there another mechanic that makes you, like, a blur incentive type holding where,
like, it makes sense to keep holding it because it'll continue to add value.
So, there's always that dynamic.
The reality is, do you want to gamble on that, right?
When you can just cash out and have a certain amount of things.
So, there's a couple things at play.
Like, it's a very complicated but well-executed, like, Ponzi, if you will, or gamification.
And so, I do think there's going to be people that will buy it when it's pretty cheap,
even if it doesn't make sense in terms of, like, how much you're mining R6 itself,
based on the theory that, hey, these guys are not dumb.
They know that they want to incentivize the value of this,
and so they'll continue on this, you know, kind of carrot in front of you.
So, at first, it was, okay, you're going to get the first runes or the speculation of that,
and then they'll maybe do something, you'll get access to the first decks.
I don't know, whatever they want to do.
Well, it also serves as a benchmark, right?
I mean, the fact that there's no real kind of redeem system on Ornals, right?
It's not like, hey, give me your stone, and then you get this, like,
due to a smart contract or whatnot.
So, I can see, you can go to best-in-slot and say,
hey, can I get that list of everyone that received a rune stone?
I want to reward the year one OGs.
And that's literally a metric now that can be provided from best-in-slot
and just say, hey, what's up, kid?
Or go one step further,
so you can kind of weed out the dead wallets and just say,
I want the snapshot of all the wallets that actually redeemed the IOUs
and realized the quote-unquote rune, right?
And then you know, hey, these are wallets of all OGs that were present year one
and that are actually have access to all these wallets, whatever they are.
And then, boom, you're there,
and it's now a new kind of category of either airdrop or whatever it may be.
Yeah, almost like some people likened it to, like, the Solana phone kind of thing,
like, you know, like, the people that are, like, vested into the ecosystem type thing.
So, there's, like, a lot of, like, crazy narratives I've heard.
And, like, T.O. asking if, like, hey, will anybody make a tool
so I can snapshot everybody who owns a runestone but doesn't have it listed,
that type of thing.
And then, like, I think it was LIFO that said,
okay, like, I'll make the tool for you.
Or one of these guys, you know, I'll make the tool if you,
yeah, it was LIFO if you buy 10 wizards.
I don't know.
So, a lot of people are thinking about this as a distribution method either way.
And I think owning a runestone will be pretty good in this airdrop meta phase.
Oh, yeah.
Liam, I have to say, if Russo's gets to .069, it flips Basie.
Do we think it gets to that high?
Or, I mean, it's a lot of –
A hundred percent.
Do you think it does?
I think it gets to that high.
I'm calling it now.
A hundred percent.
All right.
All right.
All right.
We'll hold you to it.
You put it on wax.
We're going to record it.
And we'll come back in a few weeks and see if we flip .069, man.
That's going to be –
Are you going to shave your head into a mohawk if you're wrong?
I'm not as crazy.
We need the mohawk vid.
Yeah, we need to see that.
Yo, tight it real quick.
Titus, if you're trying to connect, bro, you've been trying, like, twice.
It's not working.
Either fucking – I don't know.
Try again or get a new phone.
I just saw this this morning.
It's kind of crazy.
Urgent.
Tyran Gumbria, U.S. citizen and head of Binance Criminal Investigation,
has been kidnapped by the Nigerian government without charges.
His arrest marks a flagrant violation of international law.
We call on the POTUS to ensure immediate release.
These motherfuckers are mad for something.
I don't know what it is.
Was it Binance not in Africa or something?
But they kidnapped this motherfucker, and it's going all over.
I saw it on the news.
I saw it on stuff that isn't crypto.
So people are starting to talk about this, and it's pretty crazy that they're kidnapping motherfuckers.
They're better with education, bro, because in reality, like, look, if I – even if I kidnap one of you guys,
the chances you fucking know your seed phrase, bro, probably zero to none.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, this is the most pointless kidnapping.
We need to have education.
You need to be like, look, the person is worthless.
Like, literally, the person is worthless.
They're not – you know, so we need what sources the person.
But I can only imagine you're sitting there getting tortured, bro, and they're like, what is – how do we access this shit?
You're ahead of Binance.
You're like, dude, I just – I don't fucking know.
I don't know the words.
Yeah, you got to talk to my intern, bro.
So, yeah, like, it's just the crazy shit because it's like, dude, what's the point of – leave me alone?
And they're not going to get it.
So, it'll be funny to see, dude, that – poor man.
Poor guy.
Go ahead, Titus, and then we'll go to Shekinah.
Yo, yo, yo.
So, I just figured out that if you have – if you're like – so, if you request and then you tab out and you go to deck screener,
whenever you get on stage, you can't hear anybody.
But it happened like three times in a row because I was trying to look at charts while I was requesting.
It's a sign, bro.
It's a sign.
It's a sign that deck screener is tapping your fucking mic.
He's checking his bomb bag.
Did I sell too early?
Is it up higher?
Like, that's what he's doing.
Go ahead.
It's a sign that you need to just be a collector than ever I ever have in 24 hours or 48 hours.
I got in on that pre-sale like, oh, my God.
Your phone's ringing, bro.
Yeah, I'm going to answer that.
Titus is like, fuck that phone, bro.
It's the Nigerian government.
They're like, you made too much money.
You're next, my guy.
That's what they're saying.
Yes, sir.
What's up, Shekinah?
What's up?
Hey, what's up?
What's up?
Yeah, no, like, I thought, I mean, I know the, like, the Chamber of Digital Commerce, and
I think it's really funny that they're kind of posting that.
And, like, I get why the Nigerian government did it.
So, basically, like, Binance, because, I mean, yeah, more Nigerians are preferring crypto.
And it's making that, I forget the name of the Nigerian currency, but it's driving it down.
Like, I mean, it was almost, you know, already pretty much worthless, but it's driving it down even more.
And then Binance doesn't allow, like, the exchange.
You know how we can buy crypto with USD?
You can't do that with the Nigerian currency.
No, I'm going to add on to that.
I think we covered or talked about this on the show maybe, like, a week or so ago when I was talking about the Jamba phone that I bought
and how it's catered towards, like, Africa and just different African countries, right?
And that was the biggest pushback is that you're having individual countries, right, inside or basically nations inside Africa
that are just pushing back and banning it completely.
And it's kind of like, I don't know if the phone was, like, the Trojan horse kind of approach, right?
Buy the phone, and then, hey, it happens to be connected to Aptos.
But, yeah, I mean, now that we're seeing this now and what you're saying, it just reminded me of us talking about this
maybe about a week or so ago because of that, because I had ordered the phone,
and then I saw that a bunch of stuff was going on in Nigeria about crypto.
I mean, I think there are two sides, too.
Like, because when I was in Japan, like, I had never heard of, you know, like, Japanese startups trying to go into, you know,
into Nigeria specifically, building up, you know, like, trying to educate but also sell their product, you know, in Nigeria.
And, I mean, I see two sides.
Like, I see what, I know the government is just greedy and mostly corrupt, but at the same time,
like, what I'd like to hear about or would like to see, well, then fund, like, your own Nigerian,
like, your homegrown startups because I've heard many Nigerian, like, crypto founders and enthusiasts, like, on Twitter.
And so I would love to see their government actually, well, then put whatever money you got into, like, your own country
and then build it up from the ground up.
And then if you want to shut out, you know, some of these other, like, you know, like, foreigners,
then, okay, that's different.
But I don't even see the government doing that.
And that's one thing I wish I would see them do instead of just, like, arresting people.
I mean, they ain't kidnap them.
Don't go in the fucking country if you don't know the laws and you don't know how the government works, to be honest.
So, like, I'm just saying, like, what kind of privilege you thought you had?
So they're showing you what's up.
But I wish Nigerian, I wish the African governments, you know, like, would, yeah,
would invest in their own, like, startup economies and push them forward.
So is this the government mad at crypto and they're just trying to do a message?
Which are, are, is this anti-crypto kidnapped?
Like, I'm trying to understand it.
It's, it's, it's, they're not profiting.
So, like, Binance ain't paying the bag, ain't paying the extra bag.
And it's driving down their economy and their people, like, like, Africans all over the dang continent
are preferring crypto, no shit, you know, to, like, to their local currency.
And it's, it's screwing over, you know, like the governments, but the governments, I mean,
they are corrupt and, but they not get in the bag that, by that they want Binance to be paying
them under the table.
I would say that's more.
So the civilians, the civilians are choosing crypto because their government's corrupt and
they continue to print.
So the government's like, hey, let's kidnap the Binance CEO and maybe we can get it into
this.
Yeah.
They aped the bone presale.
So I'm just saying, like, do we see the civilians now rising up against the government?
Cause they're taking away kind of their, their opportunity and their wealth.
Like what, what, what is the civilians dude?
Cause I mean, that's happening in, in a lot of the, I guess you'd say the lower margin of
living countries, right?
Brazil is, is definitely one of those.
And El Salvador is actually happening the same way, right?
To where the banks, these traditional banking systems have been established, rooted shit.
They ran everything, right?
They were the puppet masters or are the puppet masters for the entire country, right?
For these massive nations, millions of people for years.
And so now when you have, right, like the president of El Salvador, dude, you know who hates that
man the most?
The banks.
Like it's, that's, that's who he's affecting a hundred percent directly is the banking industry
is the traditional way of finance.
And so when you think about it, I don't think it's the people that will be uproaring against
the government, but more so the traditional finance systems, right?
Finding ways to do pushback and to have issues, right?
That was one thing that El Salvador had an issue with when he stepped down because he had
to be stepped down and couldn't be president for three months was the banking committees
and all of them try to infiltrate and basically take over during those three months and kind of
just say, Hey, look, you know, he's not president.
Let's push this.
This was all fucked off.
So it's really not necessarily, I think the people versus the government, but more so inside
itself, its own infrastructure starts not turning on them, but yo, our industry is kind
of dwindling down, man.
We need to do something.
They're no longer coming to the banks.
You need to do something.
Hey, you're not getting interest.
And so that pressure starts coming in, becomes political, you know, and then it's the cycle.
So, yeah, let's go, let's go over to the meta.
I think he has some insight on this.
Go ahead, meta.
Yeah, I had to like come back up since y'all talking about African issues and as an African,
I can just tell you straight up what's happening in most African countries is inflation is like
running rampant, rampant.
I mean, I know the West complains about vacation, but in Africa, like most African countries,
Nigeria included, Ethiopia, almost every single African country you can think of except South
Africa, what's happening is inflation is getting out of control.
And what people are doing right now is in order to hedge against the inflation, they're
paying, I'm talking about, for example, me, right?
The official, the official exchange rate for my, for my native currency for a dollar is 55.
I pay 125.
Imagine.
Okay.
That's, that's, that's more than a hundred X that I'm spending because I understand that
every year the money is going to trash.
So what am I going to do?
I'm going to pay a premium two times, two and a half times more to get my money out.
And what that happens is it constrains the financial system.
Just like Keith said, there's no money going around.
There's no money in banks.
Banks can't loan that money out because it's going out through unofficial channels, right?
Through hawalas and all of this.
And this is what's happening.
And governments, most African governments, this is what they're trying to crack down because
they can't keep tabs on the money.
You know, like you can go to an absurd amount of money.
It's not, it's not like the U S where everything is tracked.
So I think most governments are trying to fight this because if you take out that money
literally, and you're paying a premium, what it does is it puts a constraint on their financial
institutions, on their banks, on their lending and everything else.
And that money can be tracked.
Good.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
Okay.
Yeah.
GM, GM.
Concerning the old Binance, uh, personal being kidnapped.
The issue here is the government is trying to control the old cryptocurrency, um, whatever,
because they see it's beyond their power.
They see the youths have been liberated.
And one thing I've known about our government here in Nigeria is they don't want to see the
people like prosper.
They want the people to always depend on them instead of them kidnapping or trying to send
the Binance out of the country.
They should try to understand the technology.
Crypto has a lot of technology that can actually help, uh, um, I cannot economy, right?
Can help us grow, can make opportunities, create jobs and all that.
But the government would rather have it all to themselves than allow the people enjoy the
benefits of this.
If you check the exchange rate of the Naira, the crash didn't start from when cryptocurrencies
or Binance came to Nigeria.
Actually, it started right from the, um, the onset and it's been going on for years, years
and years.
The government's been corrupt, um, funds entering and exiting the country, the government borrowing
funds.
We don't even know where the funds like stupid funds are allocated to unreasonable things.
And the people are scared.
They see the Naira.
Our exchange rate right now is 1,600 Naira to $1.
That is a lot.
And, um, I heard in the early days, it was a Naira to a dollar.
That was the exchange rate.
But right now it's 1,600 Naira to $1, which is so, so bad.
So people were trying to hedge against this by buying the dollar, holding the dollar cross.
I mean, obviously you don't expect all your investments to go down the drain and all that.
So you try to, uh, find a way to hedge against this.
So I see that people were buying into the dollar more on Binance.
I mean, the, um, crypto exchange rate for dollar is better than the bank rates because
the bank offers it at a lower subsidized rate.
So people would actually rather keep it in the cryptocurrency rates.
So the government, they decided that, okay, Binance, they don't want the people to have
power and make more money and all that.
So they decided to go crazy and then start the whole issue with Binance.
But then they keep, they seem to forget that when a door closes, right?
Another opportunity opens or there's always many alternatives.
It's not just Binance.
Right now we can't even access Binance websites without using a VPN or OKEx.
But there are other exchanges out there.
So we would obviously go to the next one.
So the issue right now is they should look for a way.
I don't know if the old squandering of monies, whatever that he said Binance did, I don't
know if it's true or no, but if it's true, they should come to like an agreement or maybe
take things to court.
But I feel like the best approach right now would be for them to sit down with Binance,
you know, liars and look for ways to carry the whole exchange forward and, you know,
benefit the people.
So that's just my take on the whole situation.
No, that makes sense because you already have Binance in there who's willing to pay fines
and is set up as a business, right?
So instead of closing that door and basically not receiving anything and pushing people towards
somewhere where you're not going to get anything, right, might as well say, hey, clearly I can't
stop you.
So let's figure out a way to where we can make this somewhat beneficial for both of us
or for everyone involved.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Sorry, just one more thing.
There was a time they banned before we could buy cryptocurrencies directly from Binance with
our bank cards and bank accounts.
Then they decided to ban it.
And if you trade cryptocurrencies, right, you get money transferred to your bank account.
And then there's a description that says cryptocurrency.
They close up your account and seize up your money.
But then it went on for like, I think a year or two.
And then they decided to scrap it back and said, OK, we've come to an agreement, blah,
blah, blah, with Binance.
And now you can withdraw directly to your bank account again and you can buy cryptocurrency
directly from your bank account.
But right now, I don't even know why they decided to go back on their words and, you
know, just make everything escalate this much.
It makes no sense in my opinion.
Yeah, I don't think you can go back from kidnapping, bro.
I think that's like, you know, there's there's a lot of fucking steps in between that we could
have probably talked about and, you know, amicably.
But like, how the fuck are you going to say sorry?
Like, look, bro, I mean, I didn't really mean to do this.
I was just under orders.
Yeah, I saw this this morning and I was like going on the other websites and they're talking
about like, oh, this might escalate quickly.
And so I figured we'd have a conversation.
I do appreciate you and you and Meta coming up here and giving your, you know, your views
on it, since you are part of that community and know some insights of how the government
works over there.
So super valuable.
Thanks for bringing some insight.
I'm going to really appreciate the old crypto community and the TDA for, I mean, changing
my life in, I mean, it's not it's not much that I've made, but it's honest work, to be
honest, because I really don't know where I'd be right now without cryptocurrency.
So I'm so grateful for all the alphas.
I'm grateful for everything you do for the community, for trying to, you know, make everyone
win, as opposed to other communities where they just try to, you know, gatekeep things.
They make it token gated and don't even care about other people.
But I see the TDA always trying to, you know, carry everyone along, doesn't want to leave
any man behind, which is so, so beautiful.
And I'm so grateful to Expresso and Chief and thank you so much for all you do for us.
And yeah, it's TDA or Stay Poor, baby.
100%.
Yeah, I appreciate you, Clyde.
And yeah, we're just, I mean, the information's free.
Why should it be gatekept?
I mean, information runs this.
And ever since the internet came out, I don't know why.
Once we get into Web3, we think that this information should be paid for.
It's just weird.
And that's why I'm just trying to make everything free because no one's doing it right.
But I saw this yesterday.
We talked about this.
Like, when do we think that maybe, you know, these governments that use Bitcoin as, you
know, legal currency are going to start buying ordinals?
I don't know if someone heard the space and started doing it, but El Salvador's new Bitcoin
wallet has received 465 portal inscriptions and donations.
So if they didn't want it to be part of the treasury, now it is.
Now they're getting artwork sent to their wallet.
But the thing is, they're probably not running Ord.
They don't know what Magic Eden is.
So this man is like, yo, I don't know what the fuck is going on, but we're getting sats
sent to our wallet daily.
Like, people are just sending single Satoshis.
He is confused as hell.
He's like, all I have to do is...
You know he's spending that shit.
Yeah.
All you have to do is publicize your wallet and you get single sats in.
And he's like, I don't understand.
And we're over here thinking we did something.
And he's just sitting there like, oh, a penny.
Another penny.
We should send O&B to this wallet.
Chief, you think he enabled ordinals on his X-Force wallet?
Right.
That's the craziest thing.
But here's the thing.
He did say he was transferring to a cold wallet.
And Ledger does have ordinal support and can read it.
So maybe if he opens up his Ledger, assuming he's using a Ledger or something like that,
it'll show, you know, a bunch of just bullshit.
We should send an O&B to him.
Like a political piece of art.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
Send yours, bro.
I'm just saying, like, hit up ZK.
Probably it's like a thousand.
You can send it as like a giveaway.
Like, here you go.
But go ahead, Swag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, first of all, I hope you guys appreciate my politeness today with the hand.
Second of all, I love you.
The level up is fucking real.
Is that, okay, third of all, I think it, bro, I'm fucking tired.
Yes, this has been a week.
World peace is not a fucking meme.
And the shit we were just talking about is why I'm here.
Like, there is imbalance in the world and Bitcoin brings balance.
As do other, you know, shitters we all know and love.
But I stay on O&B.
I'm trying to continually scream at people that, you know, are looking at this as just a casino
and don't necessarily see all the underlying things that some of us see.
And I don't necessarily want to go out there and talk about it all, but I'm going to make
memes and try to make you fucking want to look into it further.
And so that's why I'm here.
I'm so fucking pumped.
I pulled, I'm so rugged by Elon, though, because I have an orange eyes that was like, literally,
I screamed.
I was on the phone with my brother FaceTiming him.
I screamed so loud, I woke up his family.
And, bro, it was, yesterday was a fucking day.
I didn't get anything I was supposed to get done, done.
But, fuck it.
We're ascending in real time on the timeline.
And fucking, you know the first rule.
Yeah, I told my girl she could have guac too, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
That was the first thing I told her yesterday.
Bro, my girl was just in the city for some fucking bachelorette party.
She comes home with a bacon, egg, and cheese for me.
Like, we are fucking living.
We're living right now, guys.
I'm about to go take a walk.
But, yeah, Bohm is really surprising me.
And I'm just thinking about.
And I'm taking a walk because I never fucking sent the money to that pre-sale.
God damn it.
I know.
A lot of us didn't.
But you could have got in later.
Like, a day or two later.
Yeah, I don't do later on shitters.
15X or whatever it was.
It's absolutely crazy.
And I think the reason why this broke records is because of no gas on Solana.
Yeah, I know there's a lot of, you know, cons behind that.
But the big reason why I didn't get in Pepe was because gas fees were too high.
And I was just like, I'm going to wait until gas fees go down.
But on Solana, you see a shitter and you see it running.
Yo, that's a good call.
Just go put it on there, bro.
Yeah, I mean, we've been seeing that as, like, the biggest differentiator between the two for so long.
But to actually get to see it in action and see things fly and you're not paying fucking fees.
Like, it's good stuff.
That's why people rotate so much.
Literally, that's why people rotate so much.
Because you're not literally.
Yeah, it's the jeter chain, bro.
All their jeters.
$150 for, like, before you're like, I'm going to rotate.
There's a chance that I'm going to get, this is going to rug.
And I'm going to pay $100 for gas.
So you're like, fuck.
And then I got to pay another $100 to get it out if it does start to rug and falling knife here.
And maybe, like, a 10% tax, too.
Yeah.
So here, you're in and out.
And you can just, you can literally change your mind within a second and maybe pay, like, a dollar for going in and out of a shitter for one second and changing your mind.
Like, it doesn't matter what size or without.
So it's a little different.
You need, like, a leading KOL on these fucking meme coins, too.
I mean, look at, like, Pepe.
You had Pauly.
Bitcoin, ticker Bitcoin.
You had Archick.
Mog, you have KMoney.
With the bomb, or with bomb, you had, or with, you had Ansem.
With bomb, you have, like, DZ and Farouk and Beanie shilling it.
Bear Pepe, all those fucking memetic masters, dude.
But those guys, that would make me bullish on it when I was listening to these people.
Like, I supported Dark Farms since the beginning.
I've never sold an NFT.
I'm like, this 60% of this, people that are holding this token are, like, bag holders and would never sell anything Dark Farms.
I'm like, this is going a lot higher.
I even bought some yesterday, I'm like, when it was dipping.
Yo, that's actually a good question.
Do you know, like, how much is actually allocated to people that work?
I think it's, like, 60%, bro.
Like, 60% is to his friends, bro.
So it's, like, the majority of them are a bunch of bag holders.
And I was, like, yesterday I saw it dipping.
And I'm, like, yo, I'm going to buy some.
So I threw through, like, three solid, and I woke up this morning, and there was, like, a Binance listing.
And I'm up another 3X.
I'm, like, dude, like, this is a crazy-ass thing.
And I think we're going to continue to see meme coins on Solana just run up crazy.
I think this is just kind of, like, a realization that we're kind of breaking norms this cycle.
And the next, like, now that we have a record of a billion market cap in 48 hours, people are going to try their hardest to kind of beat that.
Now it's going to be, like, 36 hours.
And then we're going to probably have one at peak euphoria next year, and, like, one that went from a pre-sale to a billion in less than 24 hours.
But these gas fees, no gas fees is really helping accelerate the process.
And having, you know, main people like B and E and D shilling it helps a lot.
But this is crazy, man.
A lot of people made a lot of money off this.
And I know multiple people that made, you know, their O and B mint off just fucking putting three or four Sol in on, like, the day after, bro.
We need to change the fucking terminology, bro, or else the feds are going to be here.
Was it 100 acts after one day?
Yeah, it was.
For pre-sale?
Fuck, bro.
If you threw two Sol in pre-sale.
I tried not to look at the charts.
But I was planning to put more than that.
So don't even tell me the conversion.
I don't want to hear it.
Yeah, it's a house.
It's just a house.
We'll just do it like that.
We'll get the next one, guys.
We'll get the fucking next one.
Don't go back.
On that note, too, real quick, Basil.
This whole next one meta that's going around right now.
So you guys understand that every time something else comes out, more attention comes out, right?
It's going to be – it's basically making the game harder, right?
If you look at this, every single time a new pre-sale comes out, every single time more and more eyes are being attracted to this, it's crowding the trade.
Not saying that there's not money to be made.
Not at all.
And I wasn't necessarily talking about the next pre-sale meta.
Just in general, I'll get the next one.
I am because that's what's going on right now, right?
It is the pre-sale meta.
And a lot of people are just sending money.
And this is the exact same thing we've seen on ETH.
We saw this with Ben.ETH.
It's the same phone all over.
Yeah, exact XPT is punching the fucking wall right now.
Which one was the one that got $10 million for the pre-sale yesterday?
Was that WTF?
Or which one was it?
No, that was Karo.
Oh, my God.
So he basically accumulated $10 million in less than 24 hours.
But putting WIF on the sphere took four days.
Like, what the fuck?
Like, what the fuck, bro?
Like, how does the sphere take four days to get 650K?
Greed versus understanding of memetics.
I know.
It's crazy.
Like, I just couldn't understand the dynamic behind that.
But, yeah.
Interesting.
Basil, your hand went up and then it went down.
So go ahead, my guy.
And then we'll throw it to you, Flynn.
Oh, yeah.
So I'm just, you know, talking.
I think, you know, most of the people here have been here long enough to know how this goes.
So, yeah.
Just because one pre-sale did a lot of pump.
You know, we've seen it, as the guy said, on ETH and before that, too.
Like, just because this did a lot.
Just please be careful, guys.
Because, like, there's going to be a lot of people.
And there are already a lot of people putting, like, their wallet addresses saying pre-sale and that shit.
So just be very careful.
But I wanted to comment also on another point.
You guys were talking about, and this is a huge upside, too, for shit coins.
Like, nobody wants to pay gas, $100, $150 for gas as you buy in or, you know, want to get out.
And at the same time, you know, transactions were very fast.
But I'm not sure if you're exposed.
How much is your exposure to a base on Ethereum?
Like, recently, they had, after the Denkin update that happened, the transaction fees there are around, like, almost $5, I don't know, $0.005 per transaction.
And they're having, actually, good meme coins.
There was a meme coin that was launched, I think, early March, late February.
And right now it sits around $450 mil or $500 mil.
Is it Brett?
Is it Brett?
Yeah.
I wrote a thread about, you know, base and the whole stuff.
So in case you want to be enlightened, feel free to do that.
But do your own research.
And base seems like a good atmosphere for some tokens.
There were people mentioning also there's going to be an airdrop on base.
It was denied at the beginning from official sources on base.
But there's a lot of speculation is rising up right now.
So anyways, I just want to mention that since you're talking about meme coins and transaction fees, and base seems like a very good solution for Ethereum.
Oh, hell yeah.
We need to get the bots.
There's a lot of people I know that are doing base, too, and they're farming wallets over there for that, right?
They're doing shitter specifically for...
I also see blast as well when that comes out.
And I really think that the blast issue, though, right, for one, is that lockup when you need to remove your money.
But when they actually give an airdrop, everyone, all the fucking blasts that, you know, people have been falling in love and romanticizing for the last six months that they were going to have, you know, once that all gets distributed, then you're going to start seeing the, quote unquote, like, casino pop, right?
Everyone is kind of tied up in there.
They have their little card.
Their card has no money in it.
They got the $5 that they put to buy the card, you know, but they're waiting for everyone to get their cards filled.
And then that's when blast will really kind of take off.
It has low gas fees.
It's essentially, quote unquote, Ethereum, right, or an L2 version of it.
So same kind of narrative as base, right?
It's just now you're picking whether you want to run Coinbase or whether you want Paradigm, right?
So I would also, if you kind of want to continue down this meme coin route, just to start exploring, you know, these other chains that have similar environment setups to basically farm and then see pros and cons.
Dude, I think if, like, Brett is obviously the leading meme coin on Coinbase.
And from my understanding, I think Brett is a character in, like, the Pepe cartoon, I'm pretty sure.
So it has, like, Pepe vibes.
But I think a lot of people are fading that this is Coinbase's chain.
And what is Coinbase known for?
Tokens.
So if they have a leading meme coin, I think those coins could possibly be listed on Coinbase faster than ones that, like, come out on Sol.
So I think just, like, the Coinbase listing could possibly, like, pump a lot of these faster.
I mean, just look at Boom.
It got listed in 12 hours.
And that's really brought the price really fast.
But I would imagine if there's some leading coins on Coinbase that become, you know, $500 million, that the Coinbase team doesn't want to get that exposure and listed on Coinbase.
And, like, look, why wouldn't you want that liquidity?
Like, that's what I'm saying.
I think a lot of these tokens on base are going to be listed on Coinbase a lot faster.
And those pump every fucking time.
So Brett is the leader.
And I'm definitely looking on maybe getting, like, I always like getting into the leading shitcoin on the chains.
Like, from Kaki Inu, from, you know, Wiv to now Brett.
Like, those are always, like, the plays.
And I really think that these are going to be listed, like, on Coinbase, like, really quick.
And that's going to pump a lot of this shit.
So that's kind of the thing I don't think a lot of people are thinking about.
Like, this is Coinbase's app.
Our Coinbase is, you know, chain.
What's stopping them from listing these, you know, straight to market and getting, like, normies in it?
So I think that's something that we need to pay attention to.
Go ahead, Basil.
And then I'll throw it down to you, Clay.
Just wrapping it up.
Yeah, just, you know, adding to that, too.
Like, one of the interesting things I've seen.
So what I've been in base since, like, summer.
I don't have any personal projects.
I'm not affiliated with any project there.
Just a disclaimer.
But I've been since summer there.
And I have my eyes on two projects there.
One of them is called Base.
Sorry, Paint on Base.
It's basically more for pixel artists.
You know, you can go participate in some kind of a canvas.
You have every day, like, 100 pixels to do.
And then at the end, this canvas will be sold.
And, you know, the profits are distributed to the people who participated in the canvas.
This one was there.
I think every day they do a new canvas.
And they've been doing it since summer.
I participated at the beginning.
But then, you know, I got busy with a lot of stuff.
The second one is a Tamaguchi-type game.
It's called Friend Pet on Base.
They've been live, I think, since September.
To be honest, I've been shilling this thing since, I don't know, man.
Since December, November on the group chats on Spaces and so on.
And they had...
It, like, popped off for a while, right, Basil?
Yeah, it went around 10x from its lowest point from December.
Like, it just crossed ATH yesterday and sitting close to it.
And it is still very, very small.
It still has...
Like, I was comparing its activity and the devs' activity to the price action of Axie Infinity and so on.
Because it's a similar game.
Of course, it's a different game.
But it's a similar type of game.
And it's following the same thing.
Like, I was telling people, if this crosses $2, if this crosses $1.
And if it follows the same fashion, Axie Infinity, like, also launched late 2020, I think.
And in the summer, in August 2021, they reached around $154.
They were at half a dollar during the end of 2020.
They reached, in the summer of 2021, around $154 of ATH.
Of course, different blockchains, different stories, different projects.
But also, you know, same type of game, same type of price start.
This is why I was shilling it so hard, like, a few months back.
And now this happened.
And so, yeah, I want to talk about those two projects on base.
Appreciate you, bro.
Let's go to Flame.
And then I also got a little bit of alpha.
We'll sprinkle some in and we'll keep the ball rolling.
Go ahead, Flame.
GM, man.
First off, a little testimonial.
I did pretty good last night, thanks to TDA.
Shout out to Chicken for giving us a little heads up.
He's back.
Chicken's back.
Yeah.
And he came back.
The coins come out, bro.
He came back with the heater, too.
He came back with the heater.
It was a short-term play.
But, you know, he gave us all the – he put us on the – he gave us a nice heads up.
When Little Striker – we need to bring Little Striker back.
He always had the fucking plays.
You got to get that little 12-year-old back in the group chat.
But, yeah, Chicken is notorious for fucking pumping coins.
He just doesn't – he just, like, shows up randomly in the middle of the night.
So, shout out to him.
I need to get back in the group chat if he's there.
But go ahead.
Yeah, it was perfect.
No, no, it was cool.
Just, you know, shout out to TDA for, you know, value online, offline, you know, like around the clock.
It's a 24-7 stream of information now.
And, you know, it was a nice little boost for me.
I really appreciate that.
And also the PO app.
It was hilarious yesterday.
Like, I would never normally do this.
I was having a conversation with somebody that runs a company about potentially helping out with them.
Like, it was essentially kind of a get-to-know-you job interview situation.
And somebody texted me about the TDA PO app.
And I'm like, well, I can't leave this interview, but I got to get that PO app.
So, I literally opened the app while I'm on the video call.
Because you can see the thumbnail of the video call, right?
And I'm totally paying attention to what this guy is saying.
Like, but this is also, like, totally – like, not very professional.
I'm doing the damn, like, hit-the-number crap to get the caption thing, to get the PO app while we're having this interview.
You know, that's – when it comes to TDA, you just don't fade, you know?
You got to dedicate.
I just thought that was hilarious.
And I'm glad that he didn't know what I was up to because I – it was no disrespect, but it was – I had to get that PO app, you know?
That being said, you know, there are more than just those two instances that I can, you know, recount about all the value that's been delivered.
Just listening to the TDA and then getting to contribute is what makes me feel good about everything I'm getting.
So, I appreciate the opportunity to be up here.
On that point, I'm going to post a couple tweets.
It's – there's one, and this is a – I want to give credit to the person that posted this, but there is a bunch of information, like, speculative information about rune stones.
Shout out to King Sixstring for this.
You know, you guys were talking about TO and his tweet about unlisted runes.
There's, like, a handful here.
That might be worth checking out about airdrops to holders, so I'm going to pin that.
And then also, there is – there are a couple meme coin plays that I just found out about where the pre-sales are still open.
And I will post them with this caveat.
I do not endorse these in any way, shape, or form.
I am just giving you information, and it is 100% up to you whether or not you should act on it.
This is definitely not financial advice.
That's all I got for right now.
Thanks, guys.
That's your frame.
These pre-sales just seem like a cope play.
And if you're coping, you're chasing, man.
Like, you got to take some time off and stop just going into derivatives.
Like, 99% of the time, they don't pan out, and you just get fucking caught holding the bag.
There are, like, 1% of the time where cope plays turn out to be something huge.
I would have – like, kill me if I say this, but I felt like Bitcoin puppets were sort of like a cope play of the node monkeys.
But it turned out to be, like, sustainable.
But 99% of these chases and these cope plays turn out to be nothing burgers, and you lose your money.
So I don't know why you guys continue to chase a dragon like this.
No, that's a fair point, Espresso.
And before you guys move on, if you think it's better for me to not be posting this kind of stuff at the top, I totally follow that.
No, go ahead.
People make their own decisions here.
No, I was going to say we're probably not even going to do a recap.
I mean, in terms of alpha, we've got 20 minutes left, but we might.
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
I will say this, though.
You guys want to fuck around and just keep sending money to random people?
I'm going to post this up top just so you can see how long shit's been planned out and in the cut.
So if you don't know who Quit is, Quit is a cybersecurity expert here in the space.
And basically, this meta of sending money to people is not new.
It's literally called a meta.
It comes around every so couple months, liquidity events, whatever the fuck it may be, right?
It happens.
So basically, last year, Quit said and devised a whole plan for what he was going to do the next time this meta came around.
He said that he had it ready, but the meta died out a little bit too fast before it actually occurred.
And then I have it pinned up to the top, a couple behind flames things so you guys can follow along.
So basically, what Quit did was yesterday, if you didn't know, if you weren't here a year ago and you didn't see that original tweet,
basically what Quit did was he ran his little pre-sale again, the same way that every single person now is running pre-sales.
However, what Quit didn't tell you is the more money you throw and the more money you sent him was, in fact, how big of a dunes cap was going to be soulbound to your wallet.
And so, in a sense, he took all your money, basically allowed you to send.
And the more you send, the more and the bigger your, you know, I'm a clown soulbound token was.
After this pre-sale was complete, he airdropped and soulbound all the tokens to everyone's wallet so you will forever be branded as a clown, as a kind of a Benny supporter.
And then opened a way for you to withdraw your money back and, you know, you weren't rugged, you're just a clown.
So, you keep fucking around, you're going to find out, you know, and then you're going to get branded.
And not like it really matters, you can go make a new wallet, but, I mean, just so you know that not everyone is going to be a 10X.
It's not going to be a token that pops.
It's not always just what they say, right?
It's not always, hey, pre-sale, everyone's doing it, I'm going to do the same thing.
So, just be cautious, right?
This wasn't malicious, but if it was, you're fucked.
Literally, if it was, you're fucked.
If he was just not going to give anyone the token, just send you a soulbound and then take off and be like, here, congratulations.
So, just a word of advice.
I'm not saying not to do it.
I'm just saying that there's just, this is a meta.
It happens very, very often.
This is a clear example of someone who made this a whole year ago, this whole plan, because this happens so fucking often.
And a lot of people yesterday basically fell into this and now have a shit ton of Dunes caps in their wallets.
And they're soulbound.
So, GG's.
That would never be me.
I will never sell anything.
I don't know.
I guess I'll do a pre-sale every once in a while.
I haven't done one in a while, but I'm not looking forward to doing it right now.
I'll tell you that.
I've heard a lot of horror stories in the past 40 hours of people that say, I've sent six this whole year and I haven't got shit.
It just kind of seems people are just taking advantage of this meta and a lot of people are going to get hurt.
So, I'm just like, I'm going to stay out and just save my money for runes at this point.
But that's kind of where I'm sitting.
But there is some new Sora videos that just were released like 15 minutes ago.
Pretty crazy that ChatGPT is able to do this, OpenAI and Sora.
You've got these waterfalls.
And this is all prompts, man.
It's fucking absolutely amazing.
There's one with the bee that's like super detailed, but you can see the leaves of the grass.
There's one of like, it looks like it's generated by Sora and it looks like Spain or something.
You've got buildings on a mountain.
Yeah, that one is insane, man.
How do you get access?
I think this is just in beta right now, but this shit should be available to you guys relatively soon if you have the preview version.
Gib, gib, gib, gib, gib.
But this is like way better than what I saw last time.
These are super detailed.
Like the one with the bee, you can see the bees' wings flapping.
This is going to change everything, man.
Really going to change everything.
You're going to see like people produce these videos that take two to three months to produce made in like 15 seconds.
Please don't buy into gaming and metaverse and it was already hard with Unreal Engine 5 and that shit progressing at the rate that it is.
Now, take Unreal Engine 5 and you getting duped with fucking machine learning and AI.
I guarantee you it won't take much or long, you know, for this shit to really start like affecting us, especially because.
That's a great point.
Like in the fact that people will be able to just create these like this is our preview video with.
Yeah.
This is our game.
What do you think Nakamigos did?
Nakamigos did that the day it came out.
Look at our game.
It had like lifesavers, bro.
That was them fucking trolling your ass with Sora.
Wait till base-y gets Sora access.
It's over for other side.
I mean, they'll finally be able to be like, hey, this is my monkey.
Rig it.
That's the thing, too.
Like you can grab an Unreal Engine asset, right?
Fully rigged for gaming.
Put it into an AI and say, hey, use this asset to create a game trailer.
And I promise you, it'll create you a game trailer with that asset, you know?
And so this shit's about to get kind of crazy for us in this whole, do you believe what you see?
But that's the beauty of blockchain, right?
It's never trust, verify.
I don't care.
Immune to psyops.
Let's go.
If it's your homie, never trust, verify.
You should always just take a word of caution.
Go ahead, Clyde.
And then I got something else.
And then I got something else to put.
Pretending the Sora AI-generated videos and stuff, the devs said there's going to be a watermark on their videos.
And there are going to be a couple of other things for you to be able to identify that.
Yeah, it's a Sora-made video.
So I've got a video that I saw last night on the Sora, the old Sora AI capabilities and all that.
It was an interview with NKBHD and the devs of Sora.
I'm going to send the video to Chief's DM so you can pin it up top in case you're interested in learning more about what Sora is and what is to come.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was like, this is going to, like, that's what I was thinking is, like, we're going to see this, especially during a political cycle.
You're going to start seeing deep fakes left and right when this releases.
But I think this is also could be the rise of NFTs and verification of, like, what's real and what's not.
And the watermark is similar to what an NFT could do.
So I wonder now that, you know, we start getting these deep fakes that the conversation of we need digital verification, all this stuff,
and NFTs come back into the conversation with that.
So we'll see how that goes.
No, it's, um, clad.
That's not a, I need, like, an actual Twitter post to post it.
That's just a YouTube link.
So if there is a Twitter link that had that video inside.
That video inside.
Yeah, I'm not sure that is it.
Oh, maybe I'll just make it Twitter and not the link.
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, that's fine.
So, um, pinned up to the top, um, what we wait on that is, uh, for anyone that's going to New York for NFT NYC or ORD NYC, however you guys want to see it or look at it, um, up top is included.
A lot of our, it's just a mix, right?
It's in a sense you have a lot of Bitcoin and you have a good amount of Solana on there, right?
Uh, you have a little bit of couple of ETH hits from just block games, Sugartown, et cetera.
But something to keep in mind, if you're a holder of booze, I know he's already spoken in the Discord and kind of asked who would need a ticket or want a ticket to the Yacht Party.
Uh, same thing with Fimojis.
Uh, so just be on the lookout if you're a part of any of these communities and you're looking to attend this.
Um, just, you can ask for a ticket there and see what kind of, uh, you know, how it works for you to go.
So I think it'll be kind of interesting to be with the Magic Eating people and kind of shaking hands, getting some Diamonds Alpha.
If you can or something, um, next, this little thing.
So as, as most of you know, uh, I have mad love and I come from the Kaiju community and, uh, I mean, that's where all my honorees are based off of them.
I'm still a lizard, uh, regardless, Kings had rumor of acquisition probably about two to three months ago, uh, floor price ran up damn near two to three X.
Uh, what kind of fueled this rumor was two or three wallets, uh, freshly loaded, double digit ETH thinking like the 50, 60 range coming in and doing massive sweeps on Genesis.
They sunsetted all of their tokens, also sunsetted their merch line and, and basically everything that had direct correlation to them.
Uh, since then, um, news of acquisition has came out that is not going to occur.
Uh, they are still going to be kind of their own entity, but, um, someone more or less buying in and kind of being the, uh, primary investor.
All right.
So just to, to set the setting here on that, um, our favorite founder, meme land nine gag owns probably seven, eight Kaiju one-on-ones.
Those were his first NFTs into the space.
That's how he originated.
That's where he understood the concept of meme land as well.
Did similar tokenomics, even though Kaiju's are a derivative in a sense of cyber cons and anonymized, et cetera.
Anyway, um, in that.
I know that meme land has been talking about staking your stake, right.
Or staking your meme to receive stake.
So it looks like Kaiju is when this news comes out and Ray becomes either a partner or, or, you know, a partial acquisition, whatever the fuck they're going to call it.
Um, this could be why they sunsetted their token.
They said that you could, uh, basically swap our waste.
I think it's one for one or at a specific rate for whatever the stake token is.
And so maybe being, uh, a part of the incubated system or, or that ecosystem is what's next for them.
So, so this little guy eating steak yesterday, it clicked because I know he has basically you stake your meme land and you get steak.
And so there have always been one to tease on the timeline.
And so if you have a Kaiju, if you're a part of that ecosystem, maybe our waste is actually a place since it's no longer produced.
If you have some from when you had a Kaiju, I just keep it and not dump it.
Um, and yeah, just something to keep an eye out on, man.
It's been speculation forever that they acquired it.
Um, but I think there is something going on here, um, behind the scenes.
And I would imagine it probably comes out relatively soon.
Like you can't keep this stuff too hidden, uh, for too long because you start getting insider trading and all that other shit.
So I would imagine we'll hear some more news about this in probably the next month or two, but, uh, end up, um, this, who is Mr. 100 and Arkham is basically turned into Zach XBTC.
Um, he basically has been, uh, analyzing, or they've been analyzing wallets.
They analyzes, uh, Donald Trump's wallet, and now they're analyzing, uh, this Mr. 100.
Uh, so Mr. 100 is a BT address that receives 100 BTC at a time.
Many have speculated that Mr. 100 is buying BTC as a large fund, Middle Eastern nation, or even a Bitcoin ETF.
We believe these assertions are incorrect.
Mr. 100 is in fact an upbit cold wallet.
This is because it's a strong, consistent association with the upbit wallets, um, which match patterns of a typical exchange cold wallet.
Mr. 100 address receives 100 BTC inflows primarily from sweeping upbit.
Deposit wallets.
Some of those outflows also fund upbit hot wallets used for customer withdrawal.
Check out Mr. 100 on Arkham.
So kind of identified this.
Some people have been speculating this is Elon Musk.
Some have been speculating this is, you know, Donald Trump.
Some people are saying this is, uh, Jeff Bezos.
Some people have been suggesting, like they said, this is the UAE.
None of that's true.
So this is an upbit wallet and it's a cold wallet and they've been just kind of accumulating, I guess, for their exchange or whatever.
So just kind of, I know there's been a lot of speculation and I just wanted to kind of clear the air of like, this is who they identified for it.
And, uh, yeah, that's what's going on.
So, um, EtherFi also had a leak, uh, yesterday, um, for their eligibility for their airdrop.
Um, saw this this morning.
Uh, you go to claim.ether.fi, don't connect your wallet, copy and paste address to check until it's officially announced.
Post your screenshots in the comment section below.
So they've kind of leaked it.
You can go there.
If you've been, you know, farming Ether, you can see, you know, what your allocation is and what the requirements are.
So just thought I'd throw that out there.
I don't know really many, many people that are on EtherFi, but, uh, if you have been, there you go.
And then yesterday we had big news of the shining star on Polygon of everybody, you know, like they should do it this way.
Starbucks to shut down its Starbucks Odyssey beta program, which provided NFT rewards, um, NFT based rewards for minting on Polygon.
So not great.
They got away with that because they emphasize the word beta like a million fucking times.
Like they, every time that they referred to the program, they'd be like, yes, it is the Starbucks Odyssey beta X, Y, Z.
Like they always made sure to include that that way.
When you sunset it, you're like, no, you know, it just, it just didn't work out well.
I mean, they said they'll see us back in April.
I don't know if it's from beta to transition into, you know, I guess now, I don't know, uh, the alpha or, or, or the actual full model, but we'll see how it comes out.
Like, everybody's getting rid of NFTs, bro.
Fucking Instagram got rid of NFTs.
Twitter got rid of NFTs.
But why bother now when it's actually like taking up steam?
That's what I don't understand.
Odyssey was doing really well.
Or, I mean, at least that's what, I mean, they were talking about or making it seem like on the timeline that, you know, the Starbucks employees didn't know shit.
I'll tell you that.
Like, they looked at you like you're crazy, bro.
You'd be in there.
You're like, hey, I'm trying to earn some stamps and I need to scan this and buy this drink.
And they're just like, sir, what would you like?
I'm like, yo, which one of these gets me a stamp?
You know, for, it's, it's for blockchain.
It's on Nifty.
Which one gets me the Vinny Hager?
Yeah, I'm like, it's on, it's on Nifty Gateway.
And they're like, you're holding up the line.
And I'm like, bro, all right, y'all don't know shit.
You know, I'm, but we do have people from our community that got a whole month of this for, for going out there and fighting with baristas.
So, I mean, GG to y'all.
It was short-lived, but they're sunsetting it.
I don't know if this is max exodus or are you going to go sell your stamps or maybe these are now collectibles?
Like, you're going to keep your stamps forever because the project got sunset and it might be even rarer, right?
It goes into a weird realm of collectible now, right?
So, that's going to be the interesting part of price action.
Whether they get bought up because they're not going to ever have them anymore or they just die because we're so focused on the utility aspect and not the fact that it's Starbucks' first NFT.
Yeah, but on the bright side, I don't have to be called Flame at Starbucks anymore.
So, I can go back to my real name.
Go ahead, Basil.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, Matt.
I was reading some comments in the group chat, but yeah.
Anyways, you were saying about the Starbucks thing that happened.
Have we seen that with other known brands?
This is the first question.
And the second question is, so is this like a mental health break or they just rugged?
You know, how do you say it?
Apparently.
So, those are my two questions regarding the Starbucks coffee topic and the stamps.
And cool story, by the way, Matt.
They did rug Nickelodeon rug with Rekir.
And, yeah.
We got a bunch of those fucking cards.
We've been rugged from everywhere, dude.
I got rugged on The Walking Dead.
That was from AMC.
I got rugged on a fucking crap chicken egg.
I think that was AMC, too.
Did you get Game of Thrones?
That's probably my fault, yeah.
I got Game of Thrones, too.
Those had fucking long, long talons and the shit used to float in their hand.
Like, we just...
Yeah, what the fuck was that, man?
Like, we think these big MFers are going to come in here and do something for us.
And they don't.
And we just fall for it every time.
But, yeah.
Just a word of caution, man.
It's not new.
Nickelodeon, like I said, AMC, Walking Dead, fucking everything that you can think of we've all been rugged by, so.
I just don't think that the people that would respect that and want that are in this space right now.
Like, it's too early.
I know that people want to fuck with new technology.
But the majority of this space is a bunch of degenerates that don't care about utility and don't care about this stuff.
I think that they did a good job in experimenting, but this is something that is going to have to infiltrate culture before it becomes something that's mass adopted.
Like, it's going to be a while until people care about their points and rewards that are on chain.
Like, it just doesn't fit their product market right now because their user base isn't in way to you.
And I think you need that.
Yeah, like, you also need that back and forth, dude.
Like, if I went and baristas kind of had a brief idea of what I'm doing and I got engagement back, it made this like a quest or something that made sense.
When you go and you realize that no one knows what the fuck you're doing and you're literally by yourself, you feel like that.
So you don't even want to share, right?
I'm not going to go tell my normie friends to go download an app and go be fucking crazy.
If they already don't believe in crypto, they're not going to believe it because of this.
But if you go and you have some support and some back and forth because they're in the know, right?
If you walk up and you're like, hey, this is a program that Starbucks has.
She'll be able to guide you.
It's like the secret menu, right?
Everyone knows about the secret menu.
You don't got to fucking talk about it.
But when someone walks up and says, hey, what's up?
I'm trying to get set up on the secret menu.
This is my code or whatever.
And then they can help you, right?
Then I'll go suggest that to people.
Like, it can grow and it can have network effect.
But it was very, not necessarily disheartening, but it was just tough to even us onboard people because it's like, so, yeah, you're not going to have any help.
You basically need to try to complete these tasks and figure out what it is and, you know, do it by yourself.
And hopefully you get it right.
Like, come home, check your computer and see.
So that was, I think, one of the biggest issue of the spreading of it, right, in the actual network effect is you had no one on the other side that could be inviting and helping for normies.
Because, I mean, what are you going to do?
Tell them to come into a space and go on Twitter.
You're like, dude, I'm trying to get coffee.
You told me I could get some rewards.
I don't want to give you my email.
Get the fuck out of my face.
You know, like, that's what's going to come.
It's going to be PTSD because we get asked everywhere we go, please give me your email.
Do you want to sign up for the rewards program?
And you're like, no, no, no.
This one's different, dude.
This one's really different.
Like, it's Web 3.
And they're like, yeah, no, I'm not going to do this shit.
So you need someone on the other side is my personal opinion.
And that's what facilitates, like, the growth or else if you tell a normie they're going to get lost, they're not going to do it, and it's pointless.
So I think that's the thing.
Yeah, so it's like, yeah, it's like waiters or waitress.
When there's a special on the menu, they're like, hey, advertise this.
But with, like, Web 3 initiatives in these big corporations, there's no, like, there's no, like, they just, they don't understand.
Like, there's not a worldwide memo that goes around like, hey, you guys need to onboard people or you need to know this.
So when people ask you questions, it's just like it's very compartmentalized.
The Web 3 department has nothing to do with the Web 2 or the IRL business, and there's a fracture there.
And if it's not a totally conjoined, like, effort, all these are going to fail, right?
Like, you need a buy-in that from the whole company that this is something they want to do.
And it can't be fractionalized because people are going to come in.
And like you said, like, we've had multiple stories where we go in these places and the baristas don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
And that's an issue, too, because a lot of these baristas are doing this part-time and, you know, they turn over staff.
So, like, to onboard people into understanding Web 3 and to promote this stuff, it's going to take a lot of time for, like, just an average person working part-time.
So there needs to be a commitment from the top that this is what they do.
If there's a fractionalization, it's not going to work ever.
So that's kind of how I see it.
And this isn't just, like, a Starbucks thing.
Like, Web 3 Gaming is going through the same issue, like, where they're trying to produce games for their existing members, but their existing members aren't in Web 3.
And you're basically promoting to a bunch of degenerates that if you don't give them a token, that they're not going to play your fucking game.
So it's just like, this isn't just a Starbucks thing.
This is what we're having problems with everything.
Like, people are building this stuff for the wrong people right now.
And those people will eventually get here.
But the majority of the people, like, people, gamers, hate Web 3.
Like, until there's a change in the mindset that Web 3 is something where I can play this game and make money and this isn't a scam,
we're going to have a real hard time of having these Web 2 companies, you know, come here and actually promote this stuff and it be a success.
So it's kind of how I feel about it.
We just need more people to understand Web 3 is an option and it isn't a scam.
And that starts with us.
Like, that starts with us educating people and letting know, like, blockchain is actually preventing scams.
And this is how you revolutionize the world.
Like, a lot of stuff's corrupt.
So, like, when we can see stuff on the blockchain and it's transparent, it actually gives you more power, not less.
And it's not a scam.
So we just got to educate more and make this space more attractive to normal people.
So how do I feel about it?
Let's go to Flame and then we'll wrap it up.
Go ahead, Flame.
Yep, go to Flame.
Cool, real quick.
On that note, I totally agree with everything you guys have said.
I will say, however, on Starbucks Odyssey's behalf that for all the corporate-run projects that we've seen pop up, most of them are pretty embarrassing.
And this one at least, you know, I think had its head and its heart in the right place.
At least, you know, as much as it can for a massive monolith corporation.
But especially just, like, a shout-out to NFT Bark, to Steve, because he was really central to making it work as well as it did and trying to deliver as much value to people that were in there.
So, yeah, it's a bummer it didn't work out.
I'm not surprised just because of everything that you guys just said.
But of all the things that I, you know, took a look at and participated in, I at least thought this one was doing its best to try to make it work.
This is the most successful one.
This is the most successful thing that has been integrated into Web3 since.
And they did a really good job of not just going to their junior devs in their business.
They actually found somebody in Web3 that understood it, and look, it became successful, but it's not enough success for the company to keep going with it, right?
So, they did everything right.
It's just like you said, there isn't the appetite for it, and that community isn't in this space yet.
Exactly.
So, out of everything that's happened, they had the right idea.
They did the right things.
They contacted Web3 individuals to promote this.
But like you said, that's not enough right now.
So, we need more.
We need more people in this space, but let's go to King Titus.
Let's go to King Titus.
We'll wrap it up.
I was going to say one last thing.
For people who don't know, OniForce, pre-sales live.
If you want a whitelist, you're eligible to go ahead and claim.
You need .0098 BTC.
The public mint goes live on the 21st.
That's when you can claim your pre-sale mints.
I just want to give people a heads up because if this isn't on a calendar, I don't set a reminder, and then I miss stuff like this, I'm devastated.
So, definitely claim your pre-sale if you've got OniForce whitelist.
Yes, sir.
You got to go do it.
Got to go do it.
Who had their hand up?
Was it?
It was me.
Go ahead, King.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, just so everybody knows, I pinned up to the top Magic Eden Yacht Party, the flyer.
So, if you own any of those projects, the owners of the projects are giving out codes for you to attend the Magic Eden Yacht Party.
So, I would get in those discords and, you know, start strapping on those knee pads so you can get on that boat.
So, there should be money to be made there.
By wearing knee pads?
I'm a little confused.
Like...
Well, so you're going to have to, you know, I guess connect the dots there, I would say.
But you will probably need a pair of knee pads.
Dude, I'm trying to understand if you guys should, you know, stop buying knee pads and start buying, you know, Q-tips and shit.
Because I swear that shit's pinned up to the top and I just fucking said the exact same thing like 10 minutes ago.
But it's all good, bro.
I'm going to just pretend like y'all are here.
Holy shit, my bad, my bad.
Cooling and chilling for the clouds.
But it's all good, Titus.
You know we love you.
It is pinned up to the top, though.
If you are in any of those communities, some of them have already started allocating.
Go check it out.
Make sure you're in the discords.
So, boom.
Lastly, got something pinned up to the top.
It's by our man, Chris.
So, Express, anything else you want to say to finish this off before I go to house?
No, no.
Thanks for everybody for the support.
This has been a big week for us.
It was the TDA's birthday.
Been doing it for two years.
Rebrand, everything.
Shout out to y'all.
Thanks for the support the past two years.
And we'll be back, man.
We ain't stopping.
This is just the beginning.
So, shout out to y'all.
And this is the last day Chris will be sponsoring this space.
And if you're listening to the recording, Chris, appreciate you for, you know, believing in us and using our platform to promote your project.
So, shout out to y'all.
And I'll see you guys Tuesday.
And I don't know.
English, is Eddie back from Switzerland?
You guys going to have a space?
I think he's out there still.
Yeah.
So, cool.
Appreciate you guys.
We'll see you on Tuesday.
So, real quick, guys.
Just doubling down on what Express was said.
Appreciate y'all for coming and rocking with us for the two-week, two-year anniversary for the whole week.
Right?
Everybody's just been celebrating, just dubs individually, dubs as a family, as a collective.
And not only that, but just doubling down on the fact that we're going to be here, you know, and continue pushing on.
So, appreciate everyone that's been here.
It's a part of what we're doing, laying bricks down with us.
The point is, the house is always here.
Right?
You can always come.
You can go do your own fucking thing.
But you always know that if you need to come back, if you want to come back, you always got a spot.
Right?
And you can always contribute.
Lastly, TDA is sponsored by I'm So.
I'm So is a cross-chain interoperable ecosystem built between Solana and Bitcoin.
It's powered by the Evolve token, which you can find on the BirdEye app or your favorite sex or decks.
Currently, you can earn Bonk and other crypto by playing the Endless Runner, slated with five other mini-games to come.
And then lastly, for those of you that have or are looking at the champions on Magic Eden, a little bit of information, just doubling down once again, of Chris saying that no plans on expanding the ecosystem with any more assets.
Any assets that are on Solana and Bitcoin are the final distribution for primary characters.
Instead of going the whale route to where you need two or three champions, five, six, or whatever threshold, he's trying to build a suite of perks around owning just one.
And having that being the primary thing, because onboarding will come with tokens.
So every single champion will get its own allotment.
It won't be wallet-based like other drops.
It'll be based on how many champions or founder districts you hold.
So shout-out to Chris and I'm So for sponsoring the TDA.
We do this Tuesday through Saturday, guys, 9.45 to about 12, 12.30 Central.
It's TDA or Stay Poor.
You guys have a good rest of your day.
Be safe.
Don't get rugged on shitters.
And have a good one, guys.
You guys have a good one, guys.
