Thank you. Thank you. Just wanted to see if I'm connected. Hello, hello.
Hello. We can hear you loud and clear.
Sandy, you will be here momentarily.
Hello. Thank you. Well, well, well, GM, GM, GM, or good afternoon or good evening, depending upon where you
are in the world.
We are super excited to get started here in our spaces.
And Brian, are you on?
Yes, Sandy.
How are you doing?
I'm doing great.
How's your Thursday so far?
It's going very well.
I'm enjoying the great weather.
It's summertime.
Summertime blooms.
So everything's going well.
How are you doing?
Yeah, it's beautiful here.
I know we start kind of Easter weekend this weekend.
And I know that's kind of the start of spring and everything, too.
So I cannot wait.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Now, where are you joining us from today?
I actually just arrived on the East Coast in Atlanta.
So I'm actually on the 2 p.m. roll call for today.
Oh, and what are you going to be doing in Atlanta?
Something fun or something you can share? Oh yeah. Um, I do a couple of retail, uh, industry, um, business meetings. So, um, I have some clients out here. We just, we're just, uh,
meeting up for some lunch, but, um, yeah, most of the time I'm actually in the Silicon Valley in San Jose,
constantly, you know, constantly working with Web3 people, of course.
But, yeah, today I'm on the East Coast.
Where are you about in the world?
Well, today I am in lovely Scottsdale. It's always beautiful here. It leads out of the
summer. The summer gets really hot. And tonight I'm so excited because this evening we have a
robotics event in Phoenix. They've got ASU and a couple other really cool robotics companies
that will be shaking it up. So we're really super excited to see, you know,
how far the humanoids have come and everything, you know?
Oh, definitely.
That's cool.
Are you attending?
Is this something?
Yeah, I'm going to be attending this afternoon.
Yeah, I want to go see it.
It's like ASU, which is Arizona State University,
which some of you may or may not know, they graduate more computer science and engineers than any other university in the United States are graduated at ASU or Arizona State University.
It's based here in Tempe or Phoenix, and it's just got wicked smart people.
people. And so whenever they have something, I always like to go and attend it. And yeah,
And so whenever they have something, I always like to go and attend it.
if anybody's here in the region or the area and you want to know more, let us let us know
about that as well. But Brian, I thought we would just get started a little bit. We just announced
dot Bobby, which is in honor of your blockchain, Bobby blockchain. And what I was hoping that you could do is maybe share a little bit with us about,
you know, what, what Bobby blockchain is, how'd you get started, tell me your origin story,
if you don't mind. Yeah. So let's all imagine we, we all arrive at a vacation hotel in Cancun
and we, we, we'll re-arrive a little early. Check-in isn't until 2 p.m. So, you know,
we get there around 10, 11 o'clock. So, at the lobbyist, they say, hey, would you like to check
your bags in? So, imagine if when you check your bag in, all the bags look the same. You pretty,
you know, you'd have to obviously tag it and kind of make sure,
double check to make sure that that luggage is yours when you check back in. But also imagine
on another side that when you check in your bags, all the bags are different and they have a unique
identity and, you know, their own style to it because you see it as different guests staying at
the hotel.
So, this is kind of how we looked at Web3 in a way of how we could solve some problems
and bring great utilities and solutions to the industry.
So initially what we did is that we created a search engine, the Bobi search engine,
which is completely encrypted. We've used software from the Linux Foundation that's, you know,
open, available to the public to use through their GitHub repositories and things of that nature.
GitHub repositories and things of that nature.
And then we realized that even building this,
this isn't something that people are going to be excited about,
to just use, oh yeah, there's a search engine out,
let's use it when they're already comfortable with Google.
But we thought that maybe they will be more
interested in a social search with the community.
So, like, what if, you know, with this brand of .bobie with unsuppable domains, they can create a social identity brand that attaches to the new Internet, which we have now.
So, we've obviously we've looked at your company for a while.
Before we launched the .bobie,
we've acquired a few other domains
in y'all's ecosystem as well.
So we knew the potential
of what y'all already brought to Web3
and we figured that maybe we can add our spice to it.
So that's kind of like the origin of how we got started and why we got started.
You know, we went into the search engine industry and we've, you know, we've reached 100,000 live users since December, which is great.
But we realized that it needs a more social approach to it.
but we realized that it needs a more social approach to it.
So the .phobe,
obviously planning on registering in 2026 and getting a registry for ICANN
that's how we got started.
Really exciting.
And I mean,
anything you want to share about how, you know about how it's going, any use cases, anything just to get people really psyched up about how your journey's been so far?
Yeah, just like with anything in Web3, it needs to be so user-friendly for people to just be onboarded that, you know, we wanted to incorporate our understanding of design
and build out our bobe.io search engine to where it's not a hassle for someone to use it and feel
like they have to like re-learn something. So like when we approach Web3 in general,
So like when we approach Web3 in general, we try to look at it from the customer's experience standpoint for what they're doing.
But yeah, this journey has been very interesting.
I actually started mining Bitcoin.
That's kind of how I got started.
started but it's transformed into building out you know a full layer one blockchain with a team
of people from all around the world which is pretty cool. Is y'all's company I'm sure y'all
are y'all have a lot of remote workers and a team. Yeah we're a fully remote company right now. Yeah, we do a lot of things with people all over the world.
We have customers.
I think it was like 126 different countries right now.
We've got 4.5 million domains out there in the wild.
So, yeah, so we're pretty jazzed.
We are pretty excited about what's,
you know, what's happening. And why don't you talk to us a little bit about why you decided to,
you know, come in and do a .vobie? Like what was the motivation? What value were you hoping your
user were going to get? Talk to us a little-level domain like
what stopped them from just like being pretty much a layer one but that's neither here nor
there and why they did it it's just that we saw that maybe you know using that approach to
how people will use our search engine would kind of make us stand out from emerging brands.
So I think initially, we don't really know too much about the registering process because we just got started.
But as we go through this journey, we want to see what are all the capabilities of being a TLD, a top-level domain, and how it could affect Web3 because there's not too many companies out there doing it.
capabilities that are foreseen in the future that if maybe our team works on it, then we can solve
some problems or find solutions that are happening in Web3 right now.
Yeah, I think, you know, it has so many features to it. If you have a .vobie, you can obviously
transact in crypto. That's our number one use case 10 to 30 million
people do that every week which still blows my mind right brian 10 to 30 million resolutions
every week and we're in a you know we're not in the best market and we're still seeing a lot of
usage and utility which i think is pretty amazing and then you guys also did some really cool badges.
You want to talk to us, Brian, about your badges and kind of, you know,
how are you planning on communicating with your new .bobie community that's out there?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Our badges are pretty cool.
be cool this is they are they are really cool yeah we have this idea of like you know challenging
They are really cool.
goliath when it comes to either search engines or challenging apple with you know uh handheld
devices so um we we have like a technology team that just does research to try to create something
to where it could challenge these companies so like we've had
animators and designers um and use graphics to try to morph like what if we could do this with this
device um because i personally i loved when um the razors came out and the blackberries and i'm like
the keypad was really great um i don't know if i'm the only one
that feels like that but it'd be cool to have a newer model device with a keypad so like things
of that nature is kind of what we put on the badge to like say hey technology although we're
moving forward we still can incorporate some past um you know tech that was pretty cool and people, I believe, enjoyed it.
So that's kind of like the basis of some of our badges.
And I just always think, too, that drones shouldn't always look like so robotic the way they are.
Like, why can't they mimic nature?
So it's just like, let's have one look like a dragonfly or a bumblebee or hummingbird.
You know, so I think AI and different drone metrics in the near future could imitate more of nature.
So that's kind of like why we emulate that on our badges.
So that's kind of just about why we decided to implement those other than initially we wanted to do like microchips, which is pretty like boring for the common person.
Just look at different design microchips that we're working on.
But I think the digital physical goods that we created are a better representation of our company.
goods that we created are a better representation of our company.
And if you look, it's quite, I think it's quite fascinating.
If you look at some of the badges that they have, which are,
which are really freaking cool.
And you can find those out on,
if you're going to buy Bobby at get.unstoppabledomains.com backslash Bobby, you can see some of the cool ones there.
For example, he's got Community Builder, Rising Star, Advocacy Champion, and any of those.
He can give you any alpha through the communications, et cetera, that will work.
And it looks like you also still have a lot of your premium domains. So, you know, if you look at like a zero dot
bobe or a one dot bobe, you're only going to be able to buy one, one dot bobe, that's it.
And then once that's gone, it's gone. So I do think you might want to take a look at the,
you know, and see if there's any, you know, single digits that you want to grab.
We are making those available right now as well.
even, you know, doing the group chat, what do you think are going to be the key areas or use cases
that will help drive your community forward? I definitely believe in the group chat model.
It's, I think that people are loving more sub communities within Web3 to where incorporating
group chats with usernames so they feel like they're a part of an ecosystem
is pretty cool.
So definitely most excited about that.
And just the use case of the usability of the app,
creating a wallet hasn't been more simple
than it has been today.
You can almost do it in like three easy steps
for most companies.
So this is definitely going to drive our industry forward.
So looking forward to those features the most.
And what kind of use cases do you think you guys will use or leverage as well?
Is there anything that you think, you know,
could become your favorite use case as well?
Like for logging into a gaming app with .bob?
I don't know what kind of apps are typically building on top of you. Actually, let's start there. favorite use case as well, like for logging into a gaming app with .bobie.
I don't know what kind of apps are typically building on top of you.
Actually, let's start there.
What are the apps that are building? That's a great question.
And it's mainly industries of what, I mean, to mimic Google is those same companies.
So the Amazons, the Targets, I mean, we'd love them to have target.bobie on our platform.
So then, you know, eventually they can,
users can attach their wallets and use the currencies, you know,
in their, in their wallet.
So that's kind of what we were projecting out there.
But who knows,
maybe builders end up building games and things of
that nature like you said um with axi infinity and um other um dApps that are out there so um
i know who we'll see what will happen but i'm projecting like the amazon.bobi or you know or
bigger companies to come in and like say hey we want to use your domain to do e-commerce or companies that, you know,
that are on search engines that want to be found and be seen faster with more
exposure and everything.
And you mentioned earlier and thank you guys for joining.
I'm joining us. Let me pause for a second. My name is Sandy Carter.
I'm the COO of unstoppable.
I'm joined here by Brian who who is building out Bobi Blockchain.
Just recently announced the .bobi TLD.
And we're just chit-chatting for like 30 minutes.
And then we're going to flip over to Nathan, who's doing .calicoin, who also has a really cool story as well.
I just want you guys to get to know the projects because I think that's what causes me to fall in love with them is understanding what they're doing. Here at the
end of this one, probably about 1125 Pacific, so at the 25th March, I will open it up for questions
for Brian and I'll give away three .bobie domains as well. So get ready for that. We'll get started on that one just here very,
very shortly. But Brian, you know, as you're building out this level layer one blockchain,
which I think is freaking cool, you now have your .bobby on chain. And you mentioned early on,
almost immediately when we started chatting, you started talking about ICANN. Tell me why that's so important to you and why everybody here on the phone
should understand your plans with .bobie and ICANN.
It started with me learning ICANN through Unstoppable Domains. I think y'all's website
and y'all have an education portion to it to where it's not just
acquiring domains but you you learn about the industry so once i you know started buying
domains from your company i looked more in depth to it and i realized that you know the ican
industry is really big and that's kind of like the foundation of the internet for most countries.
I mean, if we look at it,
we rarely see like an Italian domain,
unless you go directly to that link.
You get what I'm saying?
Or like, we rarely see sites from Singapore.
We're kind of restricted to our country's domain registry.
So I think that Web3 gives us a possibility of reaching more of
a global audience simply because there's less restrictions to the way it's searched differently
from like a .com or a .us or .it for like Italy or things like that. So that's kind of, you know, how we've approached it
to where we're still learning as we go,
but I think there's a lot of opportunity
of blending the traditional ICANN registries to Web3.
You know, so.
And I think this is really interesting
because he was like, right away,
he was like, I'm all in on this. I really want to, you know, drive this and have this, you know, move us forward.
And, you know, I can I think is so valuable.
I also think that, you know, Bobi will probably not have a lot of competition, which will be an easier way to get .bobie for ICANN, which again then has just
tons of potential as we're moving forward in the space to have .bobie as an ICANN TLD. And I do,
you know, that is part of what we look at. We look at things that can be, you know, just a Web3 TLD
like .u. We know .u will never be ICANN and that's okay. We know there are ones like .bobie
who want to be both Web3 and DNS, and that's great, too, because we love all of our TLDs.
We think all of them have a lot of potential and a lot of future as well. So I'm going to do one
more question, Brian, and then I'm going to open it up to the audience questions.
I would love to know from you, like, where do you see what you guys are working on?
Where do you see that headed in the next two to three years? Like, do you see a consolidation of blockchains?
Do you see more growth in blockchains? You know, kind of tell us what you're what you're looking at and what you see in the space.
at and what you see in the space? From our perspective, looking at the industry,
it's based primarily for me on the market conditions and the temperature of the space.
If people are more bullish, I think we're going to start seeing more emerging projects come out
in the next two to three years, especially with our current leadership.
So, you know, giving if there are Bitcoin strategic reserves or more ETFs, we're probably
going to see more customizable blockchains, I think, for like banks.
They're going to have their own type of blockchain system and warehouses or oil
companies will have their own system, but possibly interoperable with each other so
they can communicate better than the traditional system.
So I mean, me personally, I think we're bullish on seeing a lot more companies emerging,
especially blockchains, but they're going to be able to communicate better,
even with the AI tools we have now. It'd be great for someone to focus on AI to be able to communicate with other AI. That would be a great AI tool. I know it's the most challenging one, but
I think that'd be a great feature to have. Yeah, I think that's cool. And you know what?
Yeah, I think that's cool.
I do. And you know what? I don't know if you saw, but we announced earlier with an AI platform and that AI platform has AI agents that live on it.
And their vision of the future is that every one of those AI agents will have its own digital identity or own domain.
digital identity or own domain. And each one of those will also have its own wallet.
And each one of those will also have its own wallet.
So imagine that I'm, you know, I have an AI agent that's a bank teller. You know, today,
I trust a bank teller to be able to distribute certain amounts of money, pay out certain things
for me as a member of my employee staff. And they see an AI agent with his domain and his crypto
wallet being able to do the same thing.
And that just really blew my mind. You know what I mean?
That we could think of an AI agent having that sort of power and identity, you know, digital identity as well.
You know, that's really cool. I appreciate new projects joining in with their own perspective on how they can help Web3.
new projects joining in with their own perspective on how they can help web3 um so yeah that's that's
cool um i'm looking to get one possibly i need to do more research in our company um that's what i
always tell people too you know even with our company do your research you know go to bobe.io
check out our you know company um look at what other stoppable domains are doing. I think they're a huge, um,
asset for web three. Um, so, you know, don't just get a dot,
but we get, you know, buy, well, you have a Friday domain still going on,
right. Where it's five bucks for. Yeah. So yeah.
Yeah. Buy, buy a.com every, every Friday until,
until the opera ends.
So there's more to that than just buying a .bobie.
But, yeah.
Yeah, I completely agree.
Well, let's open it up now for any questions for the audience.
And every question, again, I'll give away a free .bobie if you guys, you know, give me a couple of different choices, but if you have a question,
raise your hand up right now and we can, you know, give Brian some more questions while you
guys are thinking about those. Brian, what do you think, you know, if you're thinking about
blockchains and you're seeing, you know, we have layer ones, we have layer twos, there's lots of
changes going on, these industry-specific blockchains.
What do you think is going to be the most significant change that blockchains will see in the next year?
It's honestly what's the favorite chain of customers.
So, like, for example, everyone's using Solana right now
because of the meme coins.
And at one point,
Binance was that, you know,
that blockchain.
So, you know, I think going forward,
it's going to be what is going to be
the popular chain that people can kind of
get in early and kind of have fun with it
and make money.
I mean, in all honesty, to make money with it.
And, you know, with Phantom Wallet and all these deck screener,
you know, I think it's going to be like Solano's that are going to succeed
because they're making it fun and easy and quick to get in.
You know, so that's kind of how we look at it, too,
is like how can we make it easy,, fun and quick so people can search, you know, get a domain and use our product without having to explain it too much and be profitable, of course.
Yeah, obviously.
OK, we have our first question coming up here from the wonderful dot crypto.
You're a speaker now go ahead and fire
your question away to brian all right hey um can you hear me yeah all right sweet um my question
actually is to you sandy i i mean i appreciate you brian of course for having this session
but sandy i have a really quick question about... Sure.
Will you guys ever have, like,
.Atlanta domains coming?
Well, we are working with a ton of cities.
I recently went to a mayor's conference,
and I'm actively working with several right now.
If you've got someone that you know that you think could speed up that process, that would be great.
Oh, definitely.
You do? Okay, that's awesome.
It took me about a year and a half to get Austin closed.
Just because cities are very complicated.
So I'm actually at the Atlanta Blockchain Center.
at the um i'm at the atlanta blockchain center and um we actually have the president of the
stanwick crypto chapter at the blockchain center so we probably could i could somehow probably
connect you to or you to marlon williams which is the owner of the blockchain center and um yeah
we could probably get something going with that but But that was just my quick question because I was interested.
And I've had my .crypto domain since 2021.
Oh, that's awesome.
Well, thank you.
And thanks for the offer to connect.
I really do appreciate that.
You guys wouldn't believe, like, there's a lot of the closures that I do that a whale or that one of my, you know, just nice customers
or users introduces me to someone. So that would be great. Yeah. Yeah. So that would be,
that would be amazing. Okay. I'll just, I'll talk to them later today after our thing. And
if I can connect, I'll send you a message. Yeah. I just DM'd you. Okay, thank you so much. Yeah, I just DM'd you. So now
if you don't mind, you
see our unstoppable host over there.
If you could,
thewonderful.crypto, if you can
just DM them what
.mobi you want,
we'll get that sent over
to you as well. Alright, thank
you so much. Yeah, thank
you. I appreciate it. Any other questions?
Any other questions? You get a free .bobie. It's a worthwhile adventure. I'm surprised 135.x,
you haven't raised your hand because you always raise your hand. And Johan, thank you for coming
on board. I saw that .hi is your sign today. That was pretty interesting. Super cool.
Any other questions? We'll do go in once, go in twice. If you do have a question, you can ask it.
You can ask about anything if you want to.
You got a shy crowd today. Yeah, I guess it's Thursday and we're getting ready to head into the Easter weekend.
Maybe that's the issue, you know.
OK, well, Super Brian, thank you so much for joining us.
You're welcome to stay on and listen to Nathan.
Nathan is pretty incredible dude as well.
You guys should chat and get to know each other, too.
We're going to flip over if you guys come up with questions to know each other too. We're going to flip over.
If you guys come up with questions, keep thinking about it.
But I'd like to bring Nathan, if you could come up to the stage.
I don't know, Greg, if you can help me bring him up to the stage as well.
And thank you, Sandy.
And thank you, everyone, for joining the Spaces today.
We appreciate it.
And thank you for, I have to say, thank you for your partnership.
It's been super fun to work with you. I absolutely have loved, you know, you make speedy decisions,
you make insightful decisions. I love your future view for ICANN. So thank you for being such a great partner as well. Really appreciate it. Okay, so let's, Brian, hang with us. There we go. It looks like we're bringing Nathan up.
Nathan, can you hear me? I can. Can you hear me? I can. Thank you.
So this is our next project. We launched .calicoin.
I need to change my microphone.
Can you hear me?
So we launched .calicoin.
And .calicoin was created by Nathan Copeland.
was created by Nathan Copeland.
Unfortunately, he's been living as a quadriplegic following a car accident in 2004, I believe,
which led him to not just give up, but one of the things I admire about him is that he
now has BCI, an implantation that enables him to have these electroids
implanted in his brain so he can control a robotic arm
and send sensory feedback.
Pretty amazing.
And I love him because of his resilience,
because of what he's doing in the Web3 space,
but just because of the way he's approached life.
And this is really the first meme coin that has been done by a cyborg.
So Nathan, welcome.
All right.
Hey, can you guys hear me?
Yeah, we can hear you.
I had all my Bluetooth headphones.
And when I talk, apparently it turns the speaker part off.
So I had to switch it around so yeah thanks for
having me yeah awesome to be back on yeah why don't you talk a little bit you want to talk a
little bit about first of all why don't you talk about BCI because you also have some really cool
things you're doing with charity around Calicoin as well.
Yes. So BCI stands for brain computer interface.
Also called BMI usually, you know, in other countries,
but America we use BMI mostly for something else.
So BCI. And I guess we'll start with, like Sandy said,
in 2004, I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed.
And 10 years ago, my actual 10-year anniversary
of getting BCI implants is in two and a half weeks, May 4th.
I joined a BCI study at the University of Pittsburgh where I had four electrode arrays
implanted to a motor cortex that let me do things like control a robotic arm and a computer cursor and things like that.
And two in sensory cortex. I'm the first human in the world to have implants in sensory cortex, which allows them to send a little bit of electricity directly into my brain in the area that is responsible for
feelings on my hand. So they can send a little zap directly into my brain and it will feel like
a sensation coming from my actual hand. And yeah, like I said,
my 10 year anniversary is coming up and that's awesome.
I mean, it's one of those things that,
now last couple of years,
Neuralink came out with their BCI implant and kind of brought BCI into the forefront of, like, people's brains as an actual thing, not just sci-fi.
by but I mean it's been an actual thing for for a while just kind of not as public like Elon Musk
did a lot of you know a lot of work getting it seen by a lot of basically the world and
basically the world and uh yeah so i i drew the calico cat using just my brain signals
uh controlling the computer cursor and uh uh like paint program on on my computer
and i've you know years ago made that into the first NFT that was made with BCI.
And I sold that eventually.
And just two months ago, I decided, you know, to do another world first.
And that was make the world's first cyborg created meme coin.
And, you know, I think it's awesome.
I just like to do things with BCI that are things that have never been done before.
And I think they're good ways to showcase that BCI is a real technology.
good ways to showcase that BCI is a real technology and it's, you know, it's kind of
a technology that's going to bring hope to a lot of people with these kinds of injuries that kind
of don't have agency over their own bodies and, you know, kind of feel like they're never gonna be able to do
the things that they love anymore, like drawing and playing games. And so as part of Calicoin,
I've decided to give 10% of the supply
to the BCI Pioneers Coalition.
They're a nonprofit group that has kind of just amassed, I guess, BCI users from, you know, all the
different studies around mostly America, but there are a couple from other countries.
And it's just a place where, one, we can all talk to each other.
BCI can only, like, you can only get it through a research study at this point,
and those are usually locked down with like personal information of people is not out there, but we've kind of
this platform is big enough that we can reach out to new BCI users or people that have had
it in the past.
And it's kind of like our own little support group to talk to each other about our experiences,
but also a platform for us to talk to the world about our experiences and uh you know do some advocacy for
you know things like neuroethics and and rights to brain data and all that kind of
uh complicated stuff that isn't an issue right now but it will be in uh shortly in the future and
uh yeah i just think they're they're awesome and i saw saw the chance to kind of
really help them we're always trying to think of ways to fundraise for that group and
of think of ways to fundraise for that group and we actually had our monthly call a couple weeks ago
and we were kind of joking but uh we're like oh i guess we can't do a car wash because none of us
are going to be able to wash cars but i think that would still be a funny funny thing that just pop up
on the side of some road car wash but yeah just make people get out and wash their own car
yeah i love i love that and you gifted um your calico cat so i know that johan is like probably
super excited that you drew that Calico.
We actually tried to get that Calico just as an FYI, Johan. I thought that would have been
really a cool TLD. But you gifted one to the CEO of Tether, right?
Oh, so the company that makes my brain implants is blackrock neurotech and a few years ago
tether invested like a lot into blackrock neurotech and so they actually um
made a print and gifted them to um one to paulo uh he got the calico and the other guy whose
made a print and gifted them to um
name i can never remember uh he got uh it's called fourth meal it looks like a taco but it's actually
a cheesy gordita crunch uh baja blast and a packet of fire sauce, which is my favorite meal at Taco Bell.
That's really cool.
I love that.
He has one hanging in his office, which is super cool.
And what was your dream of doing a dot calicoin?
I mean, why did you set that up?
And I mean, why did you choose us to work with?
Well, that started with when you were,
had you on my spaces and that was actually,
doing that with you was a suggestion
from someone in the community and
so like a couple days before when I was you know watching some videos and and reading about
all the all the crazy cool stuff you're doing with web3 and saw that and then you just was like, hey, do you want to set this up? And I thought, yeah, that would actually be kind of awesome.
And, you know, so it's just one,
it's way easier to tell someone, you know,
I'm Nathan.Calicoin if, you know, you want to,
you know, do some transactions over the over the blockchain and just i thought it was awesome to
have just like a fun easy way for people in the community to you know be like hey we support
calicoin and and here's a here's a cool thing you can do
and here's a cool thing you can do.
Yeah, and it has such power too,
especially like if you're purchasing a meme coin
because you can do that crypto transaction on it.
You can get groups together.
I know Nathan, you and I have chatted about that
a couple of times too,
the groups based on your badges
and your badges are cool too.
Like I really like yours. I know that we, we love both these as well,
but your badges are super cool and your PFP is a cat.
So Johanna, I would have thought you would have been like all over this because
I know you love cats, but if you look at the badges that he's got,
he's got advocacy champion with a cat. He's got legend with a crown, a cat with a crown, innovation,
a cat with a light bulb on it.
There's just some really cool things that he's got going on in the community as well.
Anything you want to talk about in terms of the badges
or in terms of how you want to leverage these?
Uh-oh, Nathan, can you hear me?
Can you guys hear me? Greg, can you hear me?
Yeah, I think he dropped down down he might be coming back up
okay great yeah i just sent him an invite to speak okay great thank you yeah this is kind
of interesting isn't it i mean imagine if you were in a car accident you became a quadriplegic
but instead of giving up you go out and you research all this bci you become one of the
first to do it and you keep continuing. Right.
You're looking working with Web3. You're just keep on keeping on and you give part of what you're doing to the BCI organization.
So it can make more progress, not just for you, but for others.
And this is why I love these stories about the different projects, because, you know, each of these projects has really cool things going on.
So I feel like I'm almost the luckiest girl in the world because I get to meet people like Brian and people like Nathan and, you know, others who are just doing super cool projects for really cool reasons.
so I love that.
So I love that.
If it's not too late,
while Nathan comes back up,
we did have two people ask the question in the pill,
so I don't know if that still counts for them.
What questions did they ask us?
He asked, I replied to him.
Okay, excellent. Yeah, I replied to him on the on the ticker but yeah he did ask it was from whole boy i'm butchering his name boy on them oh johan oh
yeah we love johan we'll definitely give johan johan, if you just send a DM to our unstoppable host, you'll get a free .bobie.
And what was the second one?
C underscore savvy as the future of Bobie.
But you asked right after you asked.
So I'd answer this question as well.
Okay, that's perfect.
If you can get a hold of them.
I don't see them in the space right now. Do you see them in the space?
No, I don't. I don't see them either. But they asked a question a little while ago. I'll DM them.
Okay, great. Okay. And Brian, I have to say, you've got amazing birds chirping behind you.
I'm a big bird lover. Every time you come on, I can hear your birds chirping. I love that.
There's a couple of cardinals that live in the area.
Oh, awesome. Okay, and Nathan, we have you back, right?
Yeah, I don't know. Like, it kept adding me and then dropping me, so I just refreshed the whole page.
Okay, no worries. Yeah, one thing I did hear you touch on was, you know, trying to help others. And this is a point I always want to make about BCI users in general. like i said the only way to get a bci right now is through a research study and everyone
that joins one of these studies um they do it to help you know the next generations of people that
come uh after because you know we all agree to join these studies and you know they don't last forever and the implants don't last
forever so we know you know it's always going to help the people after us uh a lot more and so
you know i started 10 years ago and uh since i was one of the the very first uh you know i did a lot of i always just say like boring stuff but i mean
it's research so you got to do a lot of stuff over and over and you know you don't know
you don't know what you don't know in in the beginning and you know so all the stuff i did
you know let them learn about the brain brain and how these interfaces can work.
So now that, you know, every year more people are being implanted than the year before,
and those people don't have to do all the same boring stuff that I did,
they kind of just leapfrog down that line.
frog, uh, down that line, like, you know, uh, technology just kind of snowballs and,
and, uh, yeah. So I think that's awesome.
That is awesome. And it is awesome that you think about giving to others, you know,
so many people today are just very selfish. It's just all about them, all about what they can do. And I've always
been a big believer that you should always reach back, help pull someone forward. You know, it's
what life is really about, right? It's about helping other people. It's not about just making
everything perfect for yourself. I think those are the happiest people. So I'm really proud of
what you're doing and how you're doing it.
How would you, you know,
do you want to talk anything about the meme coin, Nathan?
Do you want to give us a little rundown on how the meme coin is doing?
I mean, it's,
we definitely hit some rough patches in the beginning.
And then now most recently, it just seems like everything is
down uh the whole world is down basically but uh there's still a community that's uh hanging on and
really uh supporting me and helping me um keep things together and i'm super thankful for that. I'm just, you know, trying to reach out to
people that, you know, kind of have more experience to me with these kinds of projects.
uh when i made my coin i really had no plans after like clicking like launch and then sending
a tweet out i didn't realize you need to go on spaces and and you know build a big community
and stuff like i just i i didn't know and uh it's awesome that, you know, there are people that are willing to help me.
But I still, you know, I want to keep growing. And, you know, I think I need ideas and some help to try and make that happen and so one of the ways was you know i thought you know with giving this uh
percentage to the bci pioneers coalition that you know we could you know rising tides all that
lift all ships that's you know everything's going to be funner if the people around you are also succeeding.
I'm trying to work on getting a bigger announcement video of our partnership with the coalition going.
It's just real life is kind of making that a really slow process.
And then, I don't know, I'm hoping like in a couple weeks when I hit my 10-year anniversary,
there's probably going to be, you know, a bit more buzz in the kind of science media area and hoping I can kind of leverage that
into getting some more eyes on Calicoin and just trying to grow the community and,
you know, find the people that have the ideas of how to, how to keep growing.
It was really cool when we were on the spaces.
Nathan has just such a strong community of people who want to support him and
want him to succeed as well.
He, you know, he would love for any of you guys to join the community.
All you guys are so wicked smart.
If you guys have ideas about, you know, how to do better with his meme coin,
how to do better with his dot calicoin, et cetera.
I know he would love to spend some time with you and learn from you as well.
I was just amazed at that community, Nathan,
that you had on that Twitter space. The first
one, remember the first one you asked me to
join? I thought the people were just
so nice and kind, and they really wanted
to see you win. They wanted you to
do fabulous things.
Yeah, and that's
super awesome, too, because they
came together and
put down questions for me to
ask you. And cause you know, some of them were already way more familiar with you and the things
you've done, uh, than I was. So, you know, things like that, uh, uh, are super appreciated, uh,
because, you know, it just, you know, helps facilitate a funner, more informative conversation
for everyone. And yeah, I'm always happy to chat with anyone about anything really. So,
yeah, especially if they have ideas for the project.
We do have a, there's a community page here on X
and a telegram.
And then the official account for X that I made
is at Calicoin underscore.
So it'd be awesome if people joined that and shared that around.
That's awesome.
Thank you, Nathan.
Okay, my friend, 135.x.
Let it rip.
All of you are amazing and I love you.
That was it well I'm just kidding I really appreciate you all
you're you're awesome unfortunately I missed a lot of the space but what I did
here I was I was so impressed and I'm always thankful for unstoppable because they're they're partnering with people that care and
For a long time. I just I wasn't on that track
I was really distracted in my life and then just one day it all clicked for me and
And people became the focus and within with business, you know
If you put people first you're gonna make an insane amount of money
But if you put money first You're just going to make an insane amount of money. But if you put money first, you're just you're not going to make a lot of money.
So I just I really appreciate anybody that puts people first.
Not that it's about money, but it's always about the people and the bonuses, the money.
So I really appreciate you guys. Thank you.
That's awesome. And if you want a free Calicoin, if you just DM, you know how this works, 135, just DM our unstoppable host there.
And he'll make sure that you get one of those too.
What other questions do you guys have?
Any other questions for Nathan about, you know, what he's doing with BCI, about the meme coin or about the TLD itself?
Don't be shy.
Just raise your hand and he'll answer any questions that you have.
I'll ask while we're waiting for people to come up. Nathan, what do you think is the, you know, where do you see the future of this Web3 space going?
We talked to Brian. You know, Brian was talking about how he sees blockchains. What about you? Do you have any, you know, kind of any insight on where you think the market is headed or, you know, any G2 you can provide for folks?
I'm still learning about the things that are even possible, especially watching your videos
and then learning about these domains and stuff.
And it's just, I think it could go a million places that I can't even imagine.
The actual market, I don't know.
Hopefully it goes back to normal. I see some questions
coming in now.
Yeah. Okay.
Idris, one of my favorite. You'll love him.
You want to ask a question?
Just make sure you come off a mute.
Idris, you're up on stage hi can you hear me
GM everybody
thanks for the amazing space
and my question
always I mean kind of bothers on
the metaverse because it's like a way
of making web 3 sticky so is there a way of gamifying a Cali coin are they doing something
that has to do with gamification or the metaverse can anyone speak on that please thanks
Can anyone speak on that, please? Thanks.
Yeah, like I said, when I made Calicoin, I didn't really have any ideas of, you know, the steps that came after.
So, you know, that's one of those things that I think is, like, a really cool idea.
But also, like I said, like,
I don't know how to do anything like that.
And so I've, you know, if I amass into the community,
someone that is, you know, more familiar with, you know,
gamification and that sort of thing
it would be awesome to kind of go in that direction since I was not connected for a while
we kind of skipped over like you know what I would like to do with theicoin and one is definitely NFTs you know I'm working on one right now
that I just plan to give everyone that's holding Calicoin and then I don't know maybe
you know a series of ones that either go to like people that hold like, you know, a certain threshold of Calicoin or have held for a certain amount of time.
That's one of those things that, you know, I also don't know a ton about Solana NFTs and how that would be implemented.
But I think that's definitely one of the steps I want to make.
Yeah, that's cool. Thank you so much. I'm excited for the future of CaliCoin and we're looking forward to hearing more updates in the future.
I think we lost Sandy. I invited her back up to co-host,
but I think she dropped down for a second.
We'll see if she can come back up.
Sorry about that.
I got booted, Nathan.
So I heard what you said,
but I couldn't speak again.
So I think,
it's weird when it happened to me too.
It's just,
it is strange.
Idris, if you want to just send a DM to Unstoppable, we'll get you your .calicoin as well.
Well, our time is up.
I like to be very respectful of people's time.
I want to give a big thank you and big hugs to Nathan for Calicoin and for his partnership
and for what you're doing overall in the world,
as well as Brian for what you're doing and how you're establishing your new blockchain as well.
And most importantly, I want to thank all of you guys who came to listen to hear about these two new,
very interesting projects and what they're doing and why they're so special.
Why did Unstoppable decide to partner
with them? And you can see each one of them has a very special, very essential story as well.
I'll just pause. Any last questions anybody has before we let everybody go for the afternoon?
Okay, well, thank you, Nathan and Brian. I couldn't ask for better partners. Thank you for
getting us set up for all of our whales and all the UD fam. Thank you for Nathan and Brian. I couldn't ask for better partners. Thank you for getting us set up for all of our whales and all the UD fam.
