Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, hope everybody is doing well.
I'm just getting some links sent out.
Greatly appreciate if you guys retweet better yet.
If you would like, hop over to w3lp.io.
There's a mission up to share the space.
Get in there.
Do that. And I'm going to
drop the links in some of the group chats.
Get some more people in here. And then, yeah,
we'll start a conversation. Hope everybody's good, though.
And we'll get it moving
in a minute or two.
All right.
All right. in minutes I saw friends in the front row they'll leave when I'm finished and
lighten my name's gone because the ones who gas you up only come around when the flames are on end Fuck it. My fingers are burning from the top All right, all right.
Let's get into it.
GM, everybody, happy Wednesday.
If you'd want to come up, you want to chat,
be a part of the conversation, definitely request up. Happy to get a take on everybody today,
showcase, highlight, and vibe.
GM, Art, thanks for co-hosting. Happy Wednesday. Good morning, Tom.
It's my pleasure, always. You know, I cannot left you alone,
but I'm happy to see Murph today with us. How are you, Murph? Good morning.
Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning, Art.
It's good to see you as well.
How are you doing, Tom?
Space Kitty?
I always mess up your name.
We got Champion and maybe Squares in here.
What's up, everybody?
Thanks for having me up, Tom.
And I hope everyone's had a wonderful and blessed week so far.
And I hope you have a blessed rest of your week.
Yeah, I appreciate it, Murph.
Sheba, GM friend, how are you?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Happy Wednesday.
I'm cooked after yesterday.
I played disc golf.
I've been biking with my brother, who exercises way more than I do.
But I exercise, but he's a cop, so he's a little bit more active than me.
We're doing these 12, 15-mile bike rides every day,
and then I decided to play disc golf yesterday.
I'm like, ah, this will be fine.
It ended up being 88 degrees, not a lick of a cloud in the sky.
So by the time I got home after that whole excursion, I was like dead.
So I pooped today.
How's everybody doing?
Bunky's on top.
Floor's thin.
How'd you do in disc golf?
I mean, I didn't do terrible, but it wasn't.
I was like average of what I usually shoot.
I'm usually like low 70s, high 60s, and I shot a 73.
I had a few fives.
A lot of it was I was spiking the disc too much.
I would throw the disc, and it would come off nice, but then it would fall,
and then instead of rolling, it would just end.
I have a roll on mine, and sometimes a roll goes the wrong way.
So I'm working on directing the way I throw it, the way it lands, and if it rolls, it rolls in the direction I want it to roll most of the time.
So that's what I'm working on.
Are there a lot of courses in Jersey?
Not in Jersey, but in a 40-minute drive from where I live.
I guess most of them are in New Jersey.
There's a shitload of – yeah.
So the state of New Jersey has a lot of discourse coffees.
It's like seven in an hour radius from me.
They're all really nice. All different types.
Some are in the mountains. Some are
just like a plain field.
They just have between trees.
There's a big one
with a nice trail in the middle. A really long
bike trail where people are tanning and there's a
park but then there's a whole section that's
cut off just for disc golf.
They just went to that one yesterday.
I liked it, but I was too fucking hot.
When you're climbing on the mountains, there's shade.
So you're playing disc golf, and it's a lot more workout, but you're not dying.
I don't know, guys.
I wasn't even smoking.
I didn't even take out the joint.
I was like, it's too hot.
If I take out the joint, I'm going to pass out.
But man, I was cooked. I went to bed at 11 I take out the joint, I'm going to pass out. But man, yeah, I was cooked.
I went to bed at like 11 o'clock last night.
I woke up today at 6.
Look at you.
I went to bed at 9.30 last night.
I was feeling good, boy.
I've been slacking on the rest.
So I went to bed early.
I felt like I was getting sick.
So I can typically tell when I'm coming down with something.
So a little bit early.
I feel good.
Rejuvenated today.
Tackle the day.
But yeah, glad to have you, man.
What do you think?
How many more moonbeard do you think can fit my picture?
I was going to bring it up.
It's wild how many you have.
That's awesome, man.
We can fit more.
I guarantee you I can fit more for you.
Are you actively just searching crowns now?
If I say that, people are going to start
listing them for too high.
That's good.
Let me ask you this. Do you have a favorite?
Or are they all up for sale once the
you get to
corner the market?
The bottom left.
The bottom left. That's the OG.
Won since 1947. I love that one.
The Moon Eyes. Brand new. I love that one. The Moon Eyes, brand new.
I love that one.
The purple one is a mimic to the OG, so I really like that one.
It's a different color nose, right?
Depends on how many I end up with.
Depends on where they go.
I don't know.
I'm expecting them to go to like two or three ETH.
That's why, even in the short term, by the end of the summer,
I'm expecting them to be like two or three ETHs, that's why, like even in the short term, by like the end of the summer, I'm expecting them to be like two or three ETHs.
And then the crowns, I'm expecting them to be like a lot higher, especially when the floor is thin, the traits.
Especially the Moonbird collection, it's tough.
I'm very, very vocal on the Moonbird collection, especially in the past, because that collection, when it was taken over and all the OG people have their birds and the people that like dump, they dumped.
But if you look at the Moonbird floor,
it's very, very thin, very, very thin.
So the traits are very, very thin.
The traits are very controlled.
I'm not saying it was Spencer,
but as soon as Spencer came in,
people were sniping traits and re-listening them higher
and sweeping floor and listing floor things higher.
Like people were sweeping at 0.5
and then re-listening at like 1.8.
And then they got the 0.9 or 1.8
and then they let it dip to 0.7 and they listed themlisting it like 1 ETH. And then they got the 0.9 or 1 ETH and then they let
it dip to 0.7 and they listen to them for
1.2. So people are out there trying to make profit.
But yeah, I'm going to play with it. I think
it's a short-term game. It's really good.
Crown trait's really rare.
I think maybe I'll get lucky and I'll
get really thin and the crown trait floor will be
like 4 or 5 ETH and I'll get a few people to
capitulate. But if I'm holding like 10 fucking crowns,
I don't control that bitch. That floor is mine.
So yeah. Let's go.
Indeed. Yeah, no, congrats on all the
new scoops. And then we have a
thing, like I told the affiliate, we're going to work on
something extra for you guys. And I
even thought of a way, I was really stoned last night,
I even thought of a way where we could even have the people
that don't go to New York to participate.
Which is super dope.
Participate in what?
I can't tell you.
I can't tell you.
I can't tell you yet because I'm already saying too much.
You know me.
What is it?
It's just for the affiliates.
It's something extra that we're going to be doing for affiliates.
You heard it here.
We're all getting moonbirds.
Way to go.
Thanks, Sheila.
We'll have just 15 projects in the next 30 days and everybody here can have a moon bird.
As long as moon birds don't go to 3E.
But yeah, it's nice.
We're always trying to find...
It's a nice incentive, but we'll talk about it more
next Tuesday at our meeting.
Do you mess with the new art?
I've never seen you actually switch any of those birds
to new art birds.
I like the new art. don't get me wrong.
A lot of them are really, really nice in the new art.
I always busted Colin's balls on some of the trades because they suck,
but some of them are really, really good.
I do like some of the new art, but yeah, I just like the pixel.
I think when you guys are in other side, though, it's probably going to be new art renders.
It's going to be 3D of new art, obviously.
I mean, if they did Voxlet, it would be kind of cheese, in my humble opinion.
I'm up for a Bloomberg trading card game.
I'm here for it.
Listen, I hope everything you wish and want comes to fruition, but I don't think it'll help.
I'm not trying to fud or be negative.
I'm leaving.
No, listen, I just don't see it as a positive uplifting
spot. No, no.
Don't go anywhere. We just started.
You know what?
You're going to take over Pokemon.
Moonbirds will be the next Pokemon.
Moonbirds will be the next Pokemon.
You heard it here. They'll definitely do better than
Gary V's cards. That's the truth.
I don't know if that's true, but GG's.
Let's hop over to Rambler.
Rambler, GM friend.
Hey, what's up, everybody?
Yeah, my job is always super nice and interesting.
And because there's so many different stuff that I do in a day, right?
Sometimes you have to...
I choose all their problems that you have to, I choose.
There are problems that you have to solve and things that you really want to do.
And you always have to make a sort of a choice.
And the problems are like big, hairy balls.
You don't want to touch them, but you have to just reach out, grab them, jerk them, turn them, make Bob your uncle.
And then, yeah, make the problem, step out, move over to the thing that you really love to do.
So it's always uh i don't know
super interesting i have a lot of fun there are a lot of uh bob your uncles so now i'm gonna do
some fun stuff create some new stuff the credit card email thing all the testing although you
have to do it a million times see if you can break it of course you can break it. Of course you can break it because everything can be breakable.
Then, yeah, move over to CreateJoke.
I think I had maybe six or seven demos yesterday,
which is always super interesting.
And it's just nice to hear what people want to build.
Sometimes he asks for something totally impossible,
then has to toss it over the rod.
He gets upset immediately because he always has a giant amount of stuff that he has to do.
And then I have to push him a little bit.
There's some other people who want to create something
that we've already done a thing
before, but then we shut it up.
We have to turn it on again. So it's
also super nice and interesting.
I'm having a fantastic day.
I sound a little bit
wild and busy, but that's just
in my happy state.
Yeah, Rambler. Good. Eventually, great segue.
I want to talk about Glyph a little bit, too.
And I think the stuff that you guys built
will be a decent segue
to kind of talk about what they're doing.
Space Kitty, GM.
Haven't seen you in a minute. Happy to have you up.
Hey, good morning. i'm just jumping up to i just needed to tell shiba shiba i have there's a music artist on that come over rambler shiba so i'm gonna send you guys
some information to reach out to him um yeah i've just not been online sorry
like have some irl stuff going on it's like a lot um so yeah but yeah it's good
to see you guys.
Super nice to hear you again.
Hey, thank you. I appreciate it.
I'm going to be trying to get back
And I feel like I recovered enough.
Yeah, just send them to the Discord.
You know, the best way to organize it, right,
if they have any questions, Discord, Discord, Discord.
Ticket, ticket, ticket.
Yeah, everybody needs to take a little pullbacky.
I always say this, even in the meetings,
like spend the week Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
spend the time, and if you need the extra time,
take off a week or two from Web3
and do the IRL thing.
But I get it.
We're here.
It's good to hear from you, too. Shout out to everybody that's here with us this morning where's handsome by the
way son of a gun you guys been really busy the past couple days very he's literally been busy
like he he didn't like I mean me and him were just dming back and forth so he's on that whoa
he has time for you. What the fuck?
You gotta have a better voice, Sheba.
I talked to her this morning. It's okay.
we'll get him in here later.
We're cooking until... I can't believe it's fucking June.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaking of, real quick,
June 1st was my daughter's birthday.
She turned four. I'm getting old.
Happy fourth birthday to your daughter.
I want to make sure we get through everybody, say our GMs, and then dive into some real chat.
But GM, out.
I think I just saw that you're officially coming to New York City.
Incorrect?
Yes, correct. Yo, let's go. I think I just saw that you're officially coming to New York city. Correct. Incorrect. Correct. Yes.
It was back and forth.
It was on and off,
but now it's definitely on.
I'm planning.
I'm booking my travel today.
As soon as I do some stuff,
I'm doing some stuff on the back end now to try and get ready for NYC.
I'm pumped.
I'm excited about it.
Now that I know Sheba's giving away moon birds and shit,
Oh yeah, dude. We're all going to make it now.
Thanks, Sheba. Real legend.
Nope, you're good. Thanks. Appreciate it.
It's recorded. We caught it in 4K.
It's recorded.
I'm going to record and print that shit. I know what I said.
Gamble, GM friend.
Hope you're driving safely to work.
How are you doing today?
GM, I actually just turned my truck off. I am officially
at my office. I'm in the Washington office today, so it's only like 15 minutes from me, which is
great. I am having to, like the Rambler said, massage those hairy balls right now. My IRL job,
that's how I feel. It's a vicious cycle, day in and day out doing this, but Web3 is just keeping
me alive and going and flowing and I'm loving
my day is good.
I'm going to get through this beautiful Wednesday.
Let's let's have a great space.
Tom hope everybody here is having a good one and good to see you space
I miss you and I miss everything that you've been doing.
All right.
let's chat it up.
Happy to have everybody.
Again, if you guys want to hop on stage,
if you want to add anything to the conversation,
thoughts, feelings, opinions, just request up.
Happy to chat with anybody and everybody.
Let's dive into Glyph a bit.
So if you guys aren't familiar with W3LP or AIOW,
one of the features that they've been building behind the scenes is,
correct me if I'm wrong, gambler, but credit card adaptability.
So people that don't have APE or aren't able to bridge APE or I'm guessing
SOL or any of the other chain tokens that allow minting,
you guys are building an interface and a platform
to be able to add credit card payments as well.
Is that correct?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And the glyph thing, we already had it,
I think for maybe two or three weeks,
we had a button on the W3LP that which says get ape.
And that was the glyph thing.
We had it in a testing thing
but people could already use it
and now it's fully functional.
They updated all things
so it's just pretty awesome.
And yeah, the credit card,
it's a wild west out there.
It's absolutely crazy
what hoops you have to jump through.
We had the same thing
a little bit with Coinbase
when we wanted to get a merchant account over there.
Also, we had to get some letters from a notary and from the Chamber of Commerce here in the Netherlands.
So it's just, and they're super busy, of course, because everybody wants it at the same time.
Because, yeah, everybody's thinking, hey, that credit card thing is pretty nice.
So when a lot of people want it and there are not enough people to facilitate,
then the prices go up exponentially, which makes it, yeah,
what happens is they make it super expensive and then you have to go look for
certain features that you have to get or build yourself or find some other options
because you don't want to make it unpayable.
It cannot be that only the credit card payment is going to be more expensive than running a whole platform.
So that's what's happening.
But it's super interesting just to see how they build up their different prices, right?
Because let's say in every credit card payment thing, there are maybe 10 to 15 different features that can be on
there. And the features can be which payment methods, not only credit card, but also in
every different countries, you have some digital payment things that you can use in the Netherlands.
It's Ideal, Canada, whatever, you have all different ones. And then that's a feature,
of course, then swap between chains. Some have four chains, some have eight chains,
some have 12 chains.
So it depends a little bit how far do you want to take it?
Do you want to take only the chains that you're using right now,
or do you want to build it out?
If you want to do it later, how much is it going to cost extra?
Some people say, okay, for every collection that you're adding
that you want to buy with a credit card, you have to do a new KYB.
The other one, for the company that's doing it.
The other one says, no, the whole thing is KYP.
It's okay.
We just do your company and you have to do your due diligence with the people that are
minting on your platform.
That's just super chaotic.
But it is, as I said, interesting.
And what happens is when you start with it, you have one sort of a vision that you want
it to be, and then just stuff gets added.
Everything gets crystallized out
and then you understand a little bit more how these
things work and you should never just
jump in with the first
offer that you get because
that will cost you all your money
short and dandy
yeah no it's a
good point thanks
I applaud you guys for building something that can potentially onboard people that aren't familiar with wallet custody or not having the means or knowledge to bridge over Ethereum or buy Ethereum or bridge to Ape, etc., etc.
or Bridge to Ape, et cetera, et cetera.
And it's one of those things
that when I see an announcement from Yuga
announcing Glyph and slow the tie-in
to like their F1 stuff,
which is I think how they're trying to market it is great.
I think building infrastructure
or like we said, like future-proofing onboarding
into the future is important. I just look at tech like that as
underutilized at this point. Yes, it's great. And it's future-proofing, getting people onboarded,
but unless there's a way that they're going to market to a mass audience, I just don't see it as a thing that is, I don't know, helpful at this
point in NFTs and crypto.
It may be a hot take, and I'm also willing to hear everybody else's thoughts and opinions
But if we're dealing with the same pool of people, how will that actually help us onboard
a larger audience
into crypto in general and NFT space?
And if everybody else feels the same way, totally.
I fell off the stage because somebody calls me
and then I get kicked off and then I want to drive back.
So the last thing I didn't hear, but maybe somebody else can ask you.
Sorry, buddy.
No, no, no.
You're good.
All I'm saying is I think it's a step in the right direction, but without proper marketing or a large project or some sort of integration.
Not saying that F1 is or is not that, but in order to get people to fully understand the value behind digital
collectibles and the crypto Web3 space, I feel that the tech that is being built or at least
brought to market feels underutilized. So I mean, just a thought feeling opinion. But Murph,
your hand went up. What's up? No, I agree with what you're saying. And I feel like it's
underutilized. And I also feel like
there's a lot of people out there that are, you know, afraid to get into Web3 because they don't
know exactly, you know, what to do, like what you're saying and getting something like this
and getting people onboarded and getting them in. You know, it's going to take, like you said,
it's going to take a lot of trial and error, in my opinion, because it's not going to be perfect
the first time. But I do believe it's going to be something that's very beneficial for the
space it's just going to take time you know fair point for sure uh we're also we're a bit tainted
uh taboo in in our industry too where i feel that uh we highlight um we highlight gambling
we highlight degeneracy as a net positive for our space. And you look at
big Web 2 audiences or big Web 2 companies as how do we actually integrate into Web 3,
even in the most simplest way to get people to care or pull part of that market into, into what we're doing,
building and highlighting and supporting every day.
I look at like,
I don't know.
I think I just saw Vicky post something about like the 40th anniversary of
like Jaws on her timeline and they have like collectibles.
So it's like,
popcorn collectibles or there's a cup collectible to highlight the 40th
anniversary of Jaws.
And I'm like,
you know, what's cool. Like stuff is great. Don't get me wrong. I think stuff has its
has its mark in our space. But I also was like, you know, it would be way cool is if there was
a digital collectible, if there was just a PO app or something that people that went to the movies
would be able to collect. Like, I think QR codes is as cheesy. and I don't know, old tech as they are still have a place because people understand what they are.
QRs have infiltrated our, you know, our market and our, I don't know, society where like you see one and if you know what you're going to get from scanning it, you understand that and you can do it.
Whether you're, you know, a 10 year old or, you know, an 80 year old. But I don't know, I think I think small integrations to that would be wildly cool. But yeah, Rambler, what's up?
about companies who wanted to make tickets for, let's say, a festival.
And that's a little bit more web tooling.
But I think that's nice because then you have a new influx of people.
And normally, let's say, tickets cost a certain price just to create
and have the whole backend.
And if the backend is on blockchain, the only thing is some companies,
like payment companies, they don't want you to call it an nft but if it's
a ticket that people can buy for a festival and there's no winning or losing or things no gambling
it's just a ticket that you can make really beautiful people can have it in their wallet
and they can sell it to somebody else if they don't want it then people are super happy because
the festivals or the the people that we were talking to said yeah that's a nice feature
that we maybe can use and maybe we can even save a little bit of money in creating the thing because
people can do it we can add some nice moving art or some super stuff or you can have some of the
djs that gonna play they can have a little piece of music added to your ticket so there are a lot
of nice and fun things that you can do with it but it's um yeah it's just difficult right because
only as you said the the collectibles are not everything but as you said the qr codes it used
to be we had here in the netherlands that you could pop open a bottle of um coca-cola and inside
there was a thing that you maybe could win something did you have that in america do you
remember that or no wait say that again that again. Did we have what?
We had that where you could open up a Coke and you could possibly win something.
Yeah, indeed. That's what I mean. Yeah.
So that's people like that, right?
So that if you buy something, let's say you say the Jaws movie,
you buy a thing of popcorn and there's a thing there and you scan it and say,
hey, I won something.
That could be something else, right?
Yeah, that's easy gambling.
I mean, gambling on the light side of how to integrate it.
But I also like the idea of walking away with a digital memento,
something to flex, if not anything, just to remember.
I think proof of attendance is a great way to, to bridge getting
people to recognize what digital collectibles are at a very, very low cost. Honestly, like even
having just an idea of spitballing, like we should have something for the AIOW house where like it's
a QR, it's tied to the platform, gets people to use our, like use AIOW. And then whatever we choose to,
or whatever you choose to do with wallets that hold,
you know, say like, like a soul bound NFT PO app.
I just think it would be cool to say like, Hey, you were here.
We're raffling off one of the sweatshirts or, you know, and again,
like utilizing very much web to stuff.
Like I think clothing or merchandise is an easy way to do that kind of stuff.
I just hope kind of to tie it back into Glyph.
I hope that there's more.
And I know like in the space, we always want more.
We're saying when, what's next.
And the market sentiment is that it's got to move fast or it's not going to move at all.
But tying in, I don't know, tying in digital to physical always seems to be the natural course for me anyway.
But yeah, just a thought.
Just a thought.
I actually, I've been thinking about, I'm going to try to repost even in the spunky Discord.
Give Arrow another bump on.
I would love to have the option of people submitting physical addresses, like mailing
addresses for merchandise tied to whatever NFT they hold, just as you can opt in or not
at all if you don't want to have your, you know, location and mailing address,
I'd say docs, like not in public eye,
but for founders to potentially send out stuff.
Because otherwise, like myself,
for like even the books and taking a snapshot
of maybe Squares holders,
I'm like, I don't know how I'm going to end up doing this.
But having something again, like that all-in-one,
that platform that just basically says,
Hey, you can launch here. And also you can claim here and, uh, there's potential staking and any
sort of mechanic that we're going to want into the future, you know, and I know that it's a
matter of, of cost and, uh, manpower and resource, but I look at, I look at that as, you know,
what's, what's next?
What are we looking at building that's going to further this product and further the space and potentially get me to say, hey, like, there's a QR code in my book now.
And if you scan this QR code, it gives you an NFT of XYZ.
And yeah, I don't know.
I just, you know, spitball in here.
But yeah, Glyph is a thing.
Glyph is now a thing.
So I'm curious to see what their next activation will be with it.
I don't know. Did everybody else claim their F1 NFTs as well?
Using Glyph or email or Apple login? I'm curious.
I tried. I don't think I went through.
Yeah, it's a zero transaction claim.
So I think I did it three times,
to be honest with you,
which kind of seems messy.
I think I did one with an email.
I did one with an Apple login.
And then I just went through the email
or the website, use glyph.io.
I pinned it up to the top
if anybody wants to do it.
Basically connecting your wallet
and then claiming the nine F1 cards.
But also, like, and to be critical of them and the team and what they're doing with F1,
I don't think they've highlighted enough of what that quote unquote utility is behind collecting the cards, beyond collecting the cards.
I think they're going to do raffles or something, which is enough. Don't get me wrong for, for me claiming a,
a free literal free beyond time NFT that represents,
eight chains interaction with F1 racing for them to do a raffle.
I think it's great,
but I mean,
is the F1 community or the hundreds of thousands of people that watch F1
going to go out and do it?
Probably not,
but how are they going to get them to do it is my bigger question.
Also, I'm so sorry.
Bay Apes, I forgot you were up here.
I saw you squeak in and I didn't get to say GM to you, but GM.
Thank you for forgetting about me, and good morning to you, too.
Thank you for forgetting about me.
And good morning to you, too.
All those balls and twists and talk and stuff like that.
Thanks, Rambler.
For some reason, I can't get it out of my head.
I apologize.
It's okay.
But, no, that was funny.
Good morning, good morning, everyone. Tom, I was just scrolling through maybe squares and I love what you're really, really neat. So yeah, I just actually, just a couple minutes ago before
the space started, I downloaded a QR code that goes back to my Mint link. So I'm super excited about that. I haven't I've never generated a QR code on my own ever and linked it to anything.
So I'm excited to start putting that on things now that I'll be passing out, giving away in New York.
So and of course, using here, i can use it on social media as well
um and within the discord and you know everything so yeah so i'm excited about that but um no i just
wanted to touch on um also that um i like you know what you're doing and um did you have that book published or did you yeah so the
book is the book is technically self-published uh I used to have a background on uh YouTube I was
doing creator stuff uh I did that for years and uh because of my involvement on there I was an
affiliate with Amazon for the longest time. And per that,
I have a really interesting like print on demand account from Amazon. So if I design t shirts, or if I design, you know, or create a book, I'm able to get it published and printed
via Amazon. So yeah, the book itself is is self published uh i went through like um like a kindle self-publishing app that
they have and uh yeah i have a bunch of stuff on amazon so yeah yeah it's fun keeps it interesting
that's neat yeah no i know that they do um they do do stuff like that um and they're pretty good
at what they do too even with designs designs and everything. So, um, like for the outside covers.
So, um, yeah, that will come in handy because, um, I'm doing something too with coloring books,
um, for the, the baby's collection. Um, and yeah, everything's done except an outside cover. So, um, I wanted to ask you
about that, um, because, uh, you're already, you already did it, um, with your books, but I just
wanted to know if, you know, you said it was self-published, so you, you basically answered
my question about that part. Um, sometimes, you know, some people have it done, you know,
slide into a slide in my DMS, I'd be happy to just share a screen with you. We'll jump on like a
Google meet. I don't know the accessibility of having stuff published, like without that,
like specific affiliate account. But yeah, they gave it a an ISB. So it could be technically resaled. Or if I mass
bought, I could ship them off to to, you know, an actual book agency, or have them living on the
shelves in like a Barnes and Noble, which is pretty cool. But yeah, yeah, I'll, I'll definitely
fill you in on the little I know, I've only ever published one other book prior to,
and it was only a digital, it's free.
It was a digital, like an ebook that I did as a contest
with the Goblin Town community, but that's on there.
If you search my name, obviously you can find that as well
or anything else I've launched.
But yeah, no, that's very cool.
Funny enough, coloring books is likely the next move for me just to just to see how they come out and play that game with Amazon and just have, again, building IP and and the story behind it.
I like the idea of something very kid friendly. My kids love it. They also like that their names are in this current book on a dedication page so um yeah i've been you know if you're gonna quote unquote leave a legacy i think uh doing it in the positive is is the way
to go so i bought my books and they're gonna be here tomorrow tom uh murph that's sick man
definitely shoot me a picture i know a handful of people funny enough i think more people from my uh
my irl web 2 life uh have bought more books, which is totally cool. You know, I don't mind.
And they're going to live there forever.
And I'll continue pushing them.
But yeah, thank you, man.
Anybody that's buying it.
It's I think it's cute.
So and I'll share some like inside pages.
The one thing they didn't do was do a sneak peek of like the story.
But there's only, I think, 27 pages or something like that.
So they can't share everything.
But thank you, Merv.
Appreciate it.
I want to say hi and welcome up to the stage, my homie, Jay Crypt.
What's up, man?
You came up for a reason.
I think you want to interject something.
What's up?
Yeah, buddy.
What's going on, man?
Long time listener, first time caller.
What do they say that on the radio or something like that?
I am stoked to be here. And it's really
great to listen to what you guys are up to. I think it was Gambler talking about tickets.
And I just think that that is a really amazing way to integrate folks from the Web2 space. And
I've been talking about tickets for a long time. I think tickets are a very collectible item that people keep.
Like if you had tickets back in the day,
those things would be valuable now.
So I think us moving that into a digital space
is a great way to integrate folks from Web 2.
Another thing is I think just to go back to PO-OPS is,
I think PO-OPS are really the key
to getting more integration and eyeballs on Web3.
And I think that it's not as sexy as a lot of the other options, a lot of the art options and NFTs that have come out.
And these projects were integration and rewards and things like that. a piece in education where folks who are doing not necessarily like college or university
education, but if they go and take a class that's like a weekend seminar on, let's say
it was even coding, like Python coding or something like that.
And there's no proof that they attended this conference.
There's no validation of the legitimacy of the learning.
And I think PO-OPS can really provide an awesome opportunity
for people to start to understand sort of like a digital resume, a digital LinkedIn
that allows people to really just share their future, their knowledge that they've learned
with potential employers. And I think that's a really big gap between that could be bridged between Web 2 and Web 3.
As someone who's been in crypto for since 2016, I feel like we've more so recently, especially in the NFT community, gatekeep just through culture, through culture, through language.
It's like learning a new language to come onto a space like this.
onto a space like this and hear everybody say GM, GM, GM. I know that that's very simple stuff to
And here we say GM, GM, GM.
most people, but if I put my sister on here, who's 30 years old, she'd be like, what the F are you
all talking about? So I think we gatekeep through culture. And I think we have to start learning how
to bridge the gap and bring people in. And I think stuff like credit card payments is great.
But again, sort of what you're talking about, Tom, is how do you really, yeah, sure. You can pay with
your credit card, but how do you convince people that it's useful?
How do you convince people that it's safe?
I think a lot of common media pressures people into thinking that crypto isn't safe, that it's magic internet money that we're passing around, like art that can be copied.
There's still so much knowledge to be bridged.
And even to the fact of this, so again, I've been in crypto since
2016 as an investor mostly. And I'm a huge F1 fan. I lived in Australia on the racetrack.
I've gone to three races, which is pretty tough in America. And I watch every weekend. I had no
idea that there was an F1 collectible out there.
Otherwise I would have been really all literally brought that up for you.
I knew you were in the audience.
And I was like, I wonder if he knows that you can get these.
I had no idea.
So I'll be calling you after this time, but like, I should know about that because I've
been in this space for so long and like, I had no frigging clue.
Um, and so, and to I had no frigging clue.
And so and to talk about stuff like F1 also did.
I'm a huge golfer and F1 did a collaboration with one golf brand one time.
It was the only legal collaboration with F1 and golf.
And I knew about it within like two days.
So it's just crazy that we sort of like I don't know how we bridge that gap. but I think that that's, it's, there's a lot of options out there.
And I think PO-OPS is one for us to really start bringing a positive light
into like how NFTs and crypto can really like affect
and bring a positive light to people.
Because so often we gatekeep ourselves
and also the media does a really good job of making us look like
we're trying to scam people.
And we do a really good job of scamming people as well,
rug pulling and doing things
that don't really help us ourselves.
So thank you for letting me come up.
Also, Tom, I bought your book
and yeah, super stoked about that for you, buddy.
That's a really awesome project.
And thank you guys for letting me hop on for a second.
Yeah, thank you, man.
I appreciate it.
And you're welcome to stay up
if there's anything else you want to add to,
or you're kind of learning the spaces ropes right now.
You can raise your hand or you can just interject.
You're not going to hurt my feelings if you step on toes for sure.
Also, solid points.
The plan was funny enough with the book only because I can speak just to that is that I wanted something that didn't feel Web3 to live out there that still focuses and is central around Web3 IP.
So the people that have squares know that that's there.
And I think I did.
And I'm still struggling with it, but I need to figure out how to utilize how to give utility to holders back from that book.
How to give utility to holders back from that book.
And again, I've experienced even gatekeeping within the Web3 space with regards to that.
Honestly, JCrypt.
And it's that there are tools out there for founders or builders to use, but they are kept, whether it's on behalf of lazy founders or whether it's on behalf of money and personal gain, I think that there are things that we could all use, but even we do a way too good of a job gatekeeping it from each other.
I've been hypercritical about IP tools like Overpass, gatekeeping to a singular community and that's wildly
unfortunate. To touch really quick
even on the mass adoption stuff
I think that's why a lot of
not trying to absolutely
fluff Yuga and
apes in general
but I think that's why they
got so much traction
in that 2021-2022
cycle was because there were people that were,
that had authority,
a celebrity that used PFPs of the art and basically built brands centralizing
I think Snoop Dogg did a great job of,
was it Mr.
Bombay to like,
he puts them on stage and he and he's released merchandise with him.
And, you know, I think, what's the other one?
Happy Dad.
I just bought a Happy Dad hoodie that has their monkey on it.
And, you know, they released, like, a flavor tied to that.
I think when we see more of that from celebrity or the incentive from celebrity adoption or that larger mainstream
adoption is when we're going to have our real second, if not third, bull run of NFTs.
I was going to bring up way early in this show, the current market, and we definitely can,
but Shiba has been very vocal about this too, that we're seeing like a down like a downturn in
our nft cycle and it's unfortunate and sad and it's cross-chain uh and i feel that because we
all really much love and like what ape chain is and the accessibility and the cost to to use the
platform uh in the chain um it's upsetting and it's an absolute bummer.
But OpenFloor, if anybody has anything they want to add,
add to this.
If not, we can definitely hop into market NFT stuff.
Also, if you're listening and you guys want something
and you want to add something,
feel free to hop up, request up, just like JCrypt did.
Be happy to hear somebody else's take.
Sheba, I kind of want to ask you what,
and this isn't a call out,
but I'm very much interested only
because I don't know how you're finding it.
When you were talking about, let's say like fake actions
or fake transactions that are living on chain,
where are you looking at? Where are you looking at?
What are you looking at in order to see?
Let's get a look at the daily.
So, this happens
on a lot of the
chains. And
it happens on, I'm pretty sure it happens on OpenSea
too. I just started using
OpenSea again, I'll be honest on that also. I just
used it to browse a little better.
They cleaned it up.
It's a lot more easier to get around, to get NFTs on that.
But, yeah, I just check out the daily stuff.
And there's none right now.
But for, like, the last 45 days, 60 days,
there's just been, like, 100K a week in ApeCoin.
Like, 100K ApeCoin, like like in seven days so for about in four six weeks
and they're doing that between several collections like 10 we have over a million this is rough this
is just rough rough numbers a million apecoin in 30 days being used as fake volume so sure
sure it's going to show on the metrics, you know, even if it's
real, but there is some volume
and it's tremendously more
than the real volume.
That's the T.
That's the T. I started going between chains, too.
Obviously, the most liquidity is living
right now on Ethereum.
I think that speaks a lot to how
do we capture the audience that's on
Ethereum and bring them to those crosschains
to play within but I will even
highlight my own actions like I haven't
looked at, bought
or even traded
an ETH based NFT in a hot
I just don't have it
I think ApeChain needs it more accessible
I don't have abstract. I think Ape Chain needs it more accessible. I don't have abstract.
But abstract's even lower
Abstract's even lower with
total sales compared to
Ape Chain.
They're both not good.
I can tell you abstract
has a lot of
what Ape Chain has, which is way too many projects
all sitting at $50 for a price,
or $25 for them.
So it's...
I mean, that's what it is.
It is what it is on that.
I mean, I have Bearish.
I bought those funds.
They got a good community.
It's doing real well.
I bought that Sui NFT last week,
that Doonies.
I bought it for like 50 Sui,
and they're like 72 Sui.
So it's a lot of money.
They're not like...
That's not like 20 cents a suey.
That's like $3.50 a suey.
So there's a lot out there.
Abstract, I think, will definitely capture most of the audience
for the rest of the summer.
I mean, I think it has the track to do it, you know.
How do I put this?
It just has everything going for it right now.
Short-term to long-term goal, I see abstract in Sui,
especially with the Klanos raising an infinite amount of money
and refunding $12 million or something crazy like that.
But yeah, there's a lot of money that could be floating on Sui now.
There's a lot of competition.
These chains are competition.
ApeChain is not here just to build out ApeChain,
help ApeChain.
They've got to beat everybody else.
They've got to do better than most of them.
They're not going to beat ETH, but they've got to beat Abstract.
We've got to compete with Sui.
We have to compete with any other chains out there
that are building out NFTs.
It's PvP. It's naturally PvP.
That's how it works.
But if we expect ApeChain to grab a new audience,
they're going to have to do a bunch
of new stuff, because we lost a lot of the runway
over the last few months.
We'll see what it does. Diversify!
That's why I tell everybody. Grab your
spunkies and your hops and whatever else
you like, part of ApeChain.
Go to Abstract. Pick an
NFT. Preferably ones that
have active founders. Get a
few of them, and then go to ETH and grab your favorite blue chip, and then a few of them and then you know go to
ethe and grab your favorite blue chip and then see in seven months and see where they are so
i guess not seven six but yeah yeah i don't know to to kind of highlight a couple things that we're
tying to to previous thoughts um i look at abstract as one of the heaviest gated communities though
too like when i'm launching abstract streaming and then gating to specific streamers isn't really i don't know cross chain friendly or even cross people friendly
it just it felt wildly like gated like if they wanted to grow they should have accepted everybody
that's natural it's like ape chain and they're like oh there's all the apes there like well
the fucking name of the chain is ape chain if. If it was called Pengu Chain, or Penguin Chain, I can guarantee you there'd be more of those
MFers over there also. So,
you're gonna have that lunch
table mentality. The chain,
the communities, whatever you want to call it, you're always
gonna have that type of stuff. Especially
when it comes to abstract and ape chain products.
These are two separate products, two separate chains,
created by two completely
opposing communities.
Like, there's some things that they agree on,
there's some things they constantly fight on.
So that's just how it is.
So yeah, I don't know.
Abstract had a horrible start.
Apechain had a really, really great start.
Mid-game, they both did really, really well.
And now it's like they're both struggling,
but one's struggling more on we're losing numbers and liquidity.
And the other one has liquidity and the numbers, but it's just not ending up in the right places.
And that's why they seem very scattered still on abstract when it comes to like investment.
I mean, look at Final Boats.
Look at some of the biggest projects, you know?
They haven't really moved.
They've revealed and now they're chilling.
So people are holding on to their
abstract NFTs, not really selling them.
So there's more holding over there, I guess.
What do you, I mean, I have my own opinion, but
what do you think is going to save
either or chain to be on
top metaphorically and physically?
Was it going to
take? Yeah, like what's going to bring
the liquidity
to these specific chains in order to get them to back where they were three, six months ago?
I don't know.
It's going to take liquidity and people.
It's going to take money and people and maybe some leaders to step up.
Maybe some investment money for the chain.
I mean, it's already there.
Abstract has it.
I don't know what's going to happen.
We don't know what's going on with the special counsel thing at this point.
I've talked to Ernest. I'm trying to keep
it to the loop on everything. And he said, they're still going to
run the election regardless of
if the DAO money's there or not. They can't
take it. That Yuga Labs
legally cannot touch that DAO money
as long as there's a counsel in place.
How much DAO money is left?
$150 million? $150 million. I don't know. My humble as long as there's a council in place how much down money is left 150 million 150 million
i don't know i my my humble opinion about that is that they need to be more stringent with
with dishing out money though too i think i think we have plenty of snack companies and
uh i don't know unless it's very tech-based and and open door tech-based where where we become
you know all the things that we we talk or i talk negatively about i don't think it's very tech based and open door tech base, where, where we become, you know,
all the things that we we talked, or I talk negatively about, I don't think it's going to
be helpful. And I think that money would best be utilized to build infrastructure about all the
wants and needs that we say we want and need in this chain, and then have it be open to everybody
else, honestly, give them no reason to go out and build their own but uh i also think project-wise like
maybe you can fill me in on this but like uh aren't we an aiow sorry i keep saying we isn't
aiow launching uh a collaboration with wu-tang at some point that's the question and w i was
listening to talk about grandma she's walking out. No, you're good.
Say it again.
Oh, isn't the AOW launching something with Wu-Tang?
I just don't have the timeline on it at this point.
I think they're waiting on the feature still.
But yeah, that's the plan.
We have Albatros Wu-Tang, the 444 collection, the Ursa by H.N. Africa, right?
And then there might be
two other things that are other crops.
The 100 artists
that's going to be coming out at some point too?
Yeah, yeah, the 100 artists thing.
I don't know. That's more of art
and whoever else is involved in that.
I don't really know exactly the timeline
on that collection itself, but yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I'm hopeful for Wu-Tang.
I think it could spark some interest outside of our Ape Chain bubble.
But I also hope that we do a good enough job marketing everything that they're doing.
And obviously that takes help from larger accounts that's included to spread the word
of this thing
that is wildly,
hopefully going to be
wildly accessible
outside of the Web3
crypto bubble as well.
But that's it.
We're going to be closing up
on an hour.
If anybody has anything
they want to interject
before we start saying
our goodbyes
and send-offs,
I always like to keep this show
to strictly an hour,
give you guys another reason to go check out
some other spaces.
As you do, we'll start with Art.
As you do, I'm gonna search for that F1 link
and I'll pin it up top for you, Jcrypt.
It's really easy.
You can call me after the space ends
and I'll hop you to walk you through it,
but it's super easy. But Art, me after the space ends and I'll hop you to walk you through it. But it's super easy.
But Art, anything you want to add before we close up?
Yes, but before to finish, what's a magical word you didn't mind?
Oh, thank you.
The magic word.
Let me make sure because Handsome has changed it on me before.
Let me double check.
I think it's this.
I think it should be maybe squares.
No, it's not, it's definitely not that
It is T, T-E-A
The magic word for today
If you aren't already, go to AIOW
Or I'm sorry, go to w3lp.io
slash rewards
There's a mission board
Everybody should be doing it
There's no reason for you not to do it
You're hanging out in the space. You're basically getting free points.
Do some retweets of the space with some nice words.
Um, follow some people.
I think we have some, some mint point missions up there too.
Uh, but for this one, all you have to do is go to the join the morning ape episode 25,
uh, mission and type in T T E A hit enter score your points make sure your wallet's connected
that you hold your spunkies in for that bonus multiplier and then uh towards the end of this
month we're going to be opening chests and winning some prizes maybe even a couple moonbirds from uh
from sheba i'm just kidding. I'm just messing with you.
But yeah, Art, that was the word.
Thank you for reminding me.
I appreciate it.
Is there anything you want to close out with before we move to the rest of our panel?
Yes, it was a beautiful, informative space. We had so many great people on the stage and listeners.
And I wish Happy Wednesday to everyone.
Happy Wednesday to everyone from Art.
Murph, second co-host, thanks for coming up, man.
Anything you want to wrap with?
Thanks for having me, man.
I really appreciate it.
Happy to be, you know, back on X and then getting in the spaces.
I've missed you all and looking forward to, you know, many more.
And I learned a lot about some stuff I didn't know today.
And as soon as you get that information, please shoot it over to me or pin it to the top.
And I'm going to be digging into more.
And, yeah, thanks for having me up.
And I hope everyone on the speaker panel and in the listeners have a wonderful and blessed rest of your day and week.
Killer, Murph.
Thanks, man.
Sounds like you're driving.
Drive safely.
I did pin up top from May 30th.
ApeCoin posted the Alpine F1 team memorial stuff.
So it's alpine.apechaincollection.com.
Definitely rather than typing it, visit the tweet, click on it, sign in with your preferred method, and then just mint.
I think there's nine of them total.
They're all gasless collectibles.
And I think what they're going to end up doing, like I mentioned earlier, is there'll be some sort of giveaway.
I think they're giving away like at least one of the things I think I saw Shab, Shab, Shab, Shab.
I think I saw him post is that they got a donation of an F1 helmet Which is pretty sick too
There's a ton of them
So get in there, mint them
Again, it's free, it's sick
You're helping support the chain by doing so
It's up there
Bay Apes, your turn
Oops, sorry
I was making a tweet.
Thank you, Tom, for this space.
Thank you, Art.
Thank you, Murph Gamble, out, everybody here.
This was a wonderful space this morning.
Very informative, other than the balls and everything,
but I'll try to forget that.
Hopefully that comes out of my vision and brain today. Um, thank you. Um, yeah, no,
just a wonderful space again, Tom. Um, you always put on great informative spaces. Um,
I also wanted to thank you, um, um, for the game night the other night.
That was awesome.
That was so much fun.
Yeah, I had a ball.
You know, the stream on Twitch that you have on your channel is just,
when you do it, it's just so much fun.
And, you know, whenever you do it again, I wish, you know, um, whenever you do it again, um, I, I wish, you know, more people here would
also jump in too, because it's like, it's so much fun and, you know, just hanging.
It's like, there's no shilling, there's no nothing.
It's just like pure fun.
Um, like Tom described it, it is just pure fun, um, with everybody that's, that gets involved.
And I had people, um, in my community that, that got involved and they loved it. Um, they had a
lot of fun. So yes, um, I'll be looking forward if you do any more, um, you know, I'm in. So,
forward if you do anymore um you know i'm in so um yeah um i appreciate that tom that was a lot of
fun again i'll say it and yes thank you for the space and um thank you for uh allowing me to speak
um with all you wonderful people um the prizes from that night will actually go out today i've
been trying to get them all out to people in the order that they won.
So lucky enough for us, anybody that ended up placing,
walking away with at least one point, we'll get an NFT.
We handed out Spunkies.
We handed out Dash Kids.
There were some maybe squares in there and our friends over at the Q Puffins.
So kind of letting people pick what they want.
And yeah, again, keep an eye out on your DMs.
Chrissy, I'll ask you this just here.
And if you want to shoot me a DM,
the only person I don't know that didn't reach out was B-Royd who hung out with us that night.
I don't know who it is.
I don't know if it's somebody from your space
or somebody that just randomly found the stream
and joined and played, but.
No, he is from my community, yes.
Cool, get him from my community. Yes. Cool.
Get him if you can.
I'll try to reach out in your Discord as well.
But I need his information to be able to send him over something too.
Absolutely.
It was super fun.
I love having you guys in there.
It was a blast.
My attempt at building a bridge between a bunch of communities and a bunch of chains.
We had our friends from appreciators donate NFTs and they were in there and it was good.
It was a lot of fun.
The community ICM4 was in there, too.
It was good.
Again, just like that, that free allowing people to to be a part of, you know, just a fun, low-key space.
It was good.
Yeah, just allowing everybody to be themselves and just chill, like, and have fun, you know?
So it was just a great time.
Thank you for that.
And I'll have him.
Should I have him shoot you over a message on his own?
Yeah, you can do that.
And if he hits me up on Twitter, that's probably the easiest for me to manage.
I'm always on here.
Perfect, perfect. Okay, great.
For you guys that didn't show up, make sure you keep an eye
out. The next
game night, we'll just include
as many communities as we can.
Obviously, you don't have to donate. I just like
for people to attend. I'll try to put together prizes
regardless, but it was fun.
And then we turned it into a happy hour. I drank three beers
and got a bunch of shit for it.
But GM, Al, I want to throw it over to you.
Thanks for popping up here on stage, being a part of the show.
Anything you want to close out with?
Tom, Tom, Tom.
We got agent.
Good morning, agent.
How are you?
What's up, man?
No, I actually just wanted to come up and say hi uh i i wanted to connect definitely uh

if you have not bought Tom's
book, I'm going to do something.
First person to go buy his book
and send me proof, I am going
to send you the amount of
ape that it costs, but double
that. You will get $30 in ape.
$30 in ape?
Look at you, Murph. Thank you, man. I appreciate it.
Yeah, it's a kid's book. Just so you guys know., pinned all the way to the top right of the Jumbotron.
I posted, I think a link is up there. It's an affiliate link because that's how I do there on Amazon.
But yeah, definitely check it out. Also, if you did order it and you, yeah, at the point where you get it, read it, any feedback.
It's not going to be the only book
in the Maybe Square series. So hit me with some feedback. I've never launched a physical copy
of a book that I've written on there. So I think that reviews are good too. Good, bad,
indifferent. Anything will definitely help kind of get some eyes on it. And yeah, that's it.
Appreciate you, Merv.
You're the absolute man.

Hopefully you enjoyed the Morning Ape episode 25.

Sounds good, Ansem.
As soon as I get a DM or somebody,
if I'm not following them or they're not following me,
messages me and I get that proof,
I will let you know.
You guys are too kind.
Thank you so much for the support.
Love y'all. Bye.
