The first time he sent that I was like I was like on the way to meet him like IRL like you know here in
Miami and I'm like girl my bad
I'm running late and he sends me one of I didn't know what it was. I just was thrown off
He sent me one of Morgan Freeman and he's like, no worry Shanice. I'm here sitting down. So it says some shit
I was fucking crying. I didn't I'm gonna rush
He just I got was tripping hilarious really a eyes is absolutely taking over on all levels shout out to pray and GBT
JPEG GBT I know you guys are cooking some cool shit with that excited to see anyway guys. Welcome to the show
We had a lot of uh, we have a lot of cool people here. We had
Charles from nifty Island here. It was unofficial. It was unpaid. It was it was I thought it was
I thought the title work. It wasn't the title. It was somebody brought him here. No, I'm just kidding
It was great though. It was awesome to have him here. Ask questions
Will was trying to kiss his ass and clearly I don't know get a job or what the fuck's going on will so
But we asked the hard questions
I'm just kidding. Well, we asked the hard questions and I think he handled them pretty well
He ended up really well was a great space
If you haven't already get in the discord link is in bio
We have a wild trading chat going down where we throw lots of opportunities more importantly
Right ups draw ups of the of the market
We have a live stream tomorrow going down in the discord
Uh brought to you by myself and will it's gonna be fun
Will's gonna do a whole lot of charting up and you guys could ask questions. It won't be for fucking hours
Uh, because it's saturday, but it'll be tomorrow evening sometime. I'll share the time in there
So make sure you get in there to get notified
Um, but now i'm i'm not as fucking I I know you guys like why is she so like no
I said, I had a great day. It was productive. I don't want to yell at you guys
Like I did yesterday yell because once again, we fell for hype mint
Uh, you guys expected amazing art. The art is ass
Respectfully not that this ass it's more that it's already been done multiple times
And I don't understand the the catch. I guess when we hear the announcement about an announcement about an announcement
We're gonna get the alpha. So i'll just go ahead and continue to talk my shit and wait
But i'm not really motivated or excited
uh what they come out with because you got things like
You know, uh, and and and i'm not biased. Uh, I I maybe I sound biased
I was I would have minted a if I would have made crypto and debt
I would be saying the same thing
A hundred percent. I would have sold it for a profit and i'd be saying the same shit
I'd be like yep, I came up because one of you are idiots. So I would have said the same shit
So don't don't oh she got she's no fuck out of here. You know, I've seen the name profits. Come on
We make profits in our sleep. It's not the point. The point is
Uh, we as a space get really really easily manipulated
Uh, I could almost bet and I just looked through it only for 10 minutes
A lot of that engagement was bodied more importantly
You got the right people talking about it mixed with that. Nobody cares about the bots a lot of accounts
We notice bots and we make know not to fuck with it. And there's others that really don't even notice or care
So we just ignore it. Uh, and i'm saying this like this because let me give you an example and this is not to
To to give this guy flowers or or fucking suck them off or any of that. None of that
Okay, none of that, but this is a person that's been building consistently for a long time a project
Um did what he's supposed to do. It's minted out
Got a lot of a success got a lot of great feedback. I think there's probably minor flood here and there
It's also on a different chain
So that's something to take into consideration
But uh trevor and his and his ninja mints, right?
Why didn't that get enough get excitement?
Look at zk and omb all that shit got hyped up and all that once these mild sales started going on
There was some crazy sales that that literally that project minted out yesterday in 5x. I think instantly the uh, the ninja product
And you got people fascinated paying 13 14 15 18
2 grand on a on a white list on another list for the undead project
Right respectfully in my opinion no culture. No real fucking no juice over there
Just a for outside looking and maybe there's a secret discord. I don't know about that has the best alpha ever. I don't know
I just it just makes me think
Damn, and I know trevor doesn't give a fuck like right. He's killing it. They're killing it. I'm making an example of
Where we spend our time and our energy. Am I saying one project is better than the other not necessarily
Utility i'm talking about real community real culture and then hype and what we talk about
It's okay that I don't talk about the the most craziest thing in web 3 and I don't and I have you know
Like talking about Gaza and all in the war and to get these wild numbers. No, I'm not I'm not interested
We'll the numbers will grow as they grow more people get onboarded into web 3 more people want to listen to the show
That's just what it is. It is what it is. I'm not here to
Entertain here everybody here in web 3 I get I know it's I know we love it
I'm so grateful for you all but in reality if if if it was to just keep this shit
X amount of listeners and all that this the plot would be lost the plot is lost
So i'm staying this little
As we gear up to get him back into the all-time highs and things are coming and tech is coming about and actually being
Uh, you know coming to life things have been in talks and works for years and finally coming to life
I just genuinely hope we learned a lesson and we can move better, you know
4 million was taken out of the market yesterday. Congratulations. Shout out to you and the team. Awesome
But what the fuck is next like I I just I just want to know and so um
We can't change the space. We can't change crypto crypto
Literally is ran by most of the scams right a lot of the money that is played in these legit projects
Hey, some of the money ain't cleaned. It is what it fucking is
You know, and that's not me to say if it's right or wrong or any of that
I'm just pointing out just the facts, but
I hope we spend more time on actually quality quality projects here in 2024
There's people working their ass off to make some real quality shit. Anyway, scott talk to me. How you feeling today? Happy friday
What's going on over there?
Oh gm, uh, there's a lot of shit. I'm gonna try to cut it down. I don't want to
Sit here, uh for forever and bore y'all with news, but there's just a lot of shit going on
As much as the market's down
It's like I'll that we'll talk about it. But man, you're seeing some whales buy up crazy, bro
So i'm just like I you know that little devil on your shoulder. It's always it's like yeah sell some of that shit, bro
Uh, nah, fuck that bro. I got my dog wheel right here
He about to train your boy tomorrow and this is what I love about this space. Like I don't know
Um, i'm a shitty trader, but I I know
The companies right so I need to connect the two so so shout out will I hope everybody jumps in the discord tomorrow?
I'll for sure will be there uh learning with y'all
Uh, so yeah, don't miss it. Um profits and will gonna gonna teach us some shit
Um, you know, so we were talking about china for a few days
Uh, I think it was like last month. We were talking about the chinese metaverse alliance
Um while they were talking about banning crypto at the same time
Um, they they they they've spoken so they hope to set up an industrial standard
Um, it's called the miit. They said that as an idea
Metaverse quote unquote involves blockchain cloud computing
AI in other various multimedia fields
Um and predicted that in the future these technologies will be applied to a range of possible
But china doesn't like crypto y'all yo, that's the industrial mecca
Imagine when they start doing I you know what let me just save my energy because uh
Because it's gonna be a good show. Just keep going. Oh, I know. Um
We love chat gbt, but I know the web 3 homies love change gbt
Uh, so give you guys announcement
They're doing something called gt protocol where they're bringing AI powered auto trading to crypto
Will I would love to hear your take after I finish this?
I I hear both sides about this stuff. Like I don't know how much
It like AI is going to be involved
But it's basically going to be a partnership with change gbt pad
A launch pad and incubator providing mentorship community access and a token launch infrastructure
So something to keep your eye on stress the uh, the change gbt gang out there
Uh, we've talked about root protocol a few times over the last couple months
Um, they just secured another 10 million in seed funding
And yeah, like we said january 1st, it's quarter one motherfucker's got money. It's just like the music business
Uh, and the funding was going to wrap back up again
Root says the strategic infusion
Is set to catapult their vision of creating a unified digital identity service for web 3 platforms
And shit the two funding rounds, uh combined I think
The valuations are over a hundred million dollars. Uh, so congrats. I know a couple of our peers
Uh, uh work over there and doing stuff over there and got funded. So congrats to everyone at root
They're working with blockchain company. Uh, I think it's finchnia
Foundation to create web 3 games based on their popular franchises
Has joined this foundation as a governance member through its sega singapore subsidiary
And said the partnership expands to develop web 3 games. So
Uh, I know a lot of the sega web 3 will sega singapore teens super active on linkedin
And a couple of their workers be on twitter. So shout out to them. I like what they're doing
I like how they're building slow. Um, we keep my eye on it
Uh, so u.s based tracks t r a x
Um, they build themselves as a content aggregator and social marketplace helping music artists build a digital space
For their die-hard supporters sounds like a thousand fan theory type thing. I was really surprised. They raised three million dollars
um, and they're looking to seek opportunities, uh through artists and partnerships, uh events and
Uh, so whatever that means, but yo, I never even heard of this. So congratulations to tracks
Uh just shows you as as unpopular as web 3 music is uh to a lot of people
Uh, there's people still, you know, trying to iron out the wrinkles and build it out
Uh kati launches a 25 million dollar ecosystem growth fund to accelerate privacy on e
Basically, they offer a faster lighter
secure privacy solution providing a ground for diverse apps including
Uh decentralized exchanges private ai training governance beyond
I haven't heard of these guys. So I don't have a good take or a bad take I just saw
The fund and i'm bullish on anyone throwing that kind of money out to to come build
So if anyone knows any about anything more about it, it's coti. So if i'm butchering the name, uh, forgive me
uh another uh round, uh web 3 staking protocol, uh
I think it's pronounced killing. Sorry. These are these are tough today kiln
Uh, they offer a suite of white label infrastructure products
And yeah, they raised 17 million dollars. Uh, and some of their notable partners are crypto.com and coinbase. So
Uh, congratulations to everyone over there
So this is super interesting and now bear with me because this is like this little lengthy part
So everyone knows outlier ventures
They they published a real crazy report, right?
So a lot of these rwa reports are coming out like this week. Some of them are 100 pages
So this is wild the authors believe those estimates that I told you about 10 to 15 trillion
Remember when I went off about the t word
They said this on the low side
And let me break it down. They're just not just like saying that right? Let me break it down
I know saw is gonna like this. So
They note that most estimates use a percentage of market values such as bond or real estate based on current growth forecasts
If there's better price discovery enabled through tokenization, then the values of those assets will rise
Additionally, they believe estimates overlook newly created assets quote unquote and segregation
Which can increase the value of an asset by quote unquote segregation
They mean splitting an asset and we'll talk about this yesterday
Into different rights which can mean the sum of parts is worth more
An analogy is when conglomerates are divided to garner the actual values of the separate businesses
So a recent example as well
Was when hong kong monetary authority in 2022
Goldman sachs was involved the bond essentially had three valuable elements the right for repayment the right to receive coupons
Quote unquote interest and then the carbon benefits. So the issuance
Separated the carbon benefits as tokenized mitigated outcome interest you can look this up mo eyes
Described as carbon credit forwards and then this supports the separate trading of the two types of token
I know that was a lot to take in but yo 10 to 15 t on the low end
I'm excited and the last thing I want to say is uh
We talked about the walmart truck, right? Oh, that's my favorite example for iot and eot
Hey, yo peek y'all better hire
Or sponsor with the exposed so
They just integrated ay do
It's a platform facilitating interaction among iot devices
From different companies and this will enable iot devices from any manufacturer to communicate with each other and upload data
And communicate with blockchains and execute commands that they support
I thought this was gonna take a while. No, they said hope my beer scott. We were already doing it
You ain't too slick my guy. Uh, we're already cooking and again, there's a million ways to get it
You don't have to be a shit coin trader. You don't got to be a web3 game shiller. Yeah, i'm taking that shot
To deepin running nodes rwa's mining analyzing risk and returns on city indexes
Share your bandwidth on your computer share your gpu
Share the resources you give away for free to everyone on your phone. Anyway, stop waiting on the sidelines or boom
We're going to be in this market again. Give me the same position you were from 2021
Sorry, it was a long long news story will what's up. I'm glad everybody's here
Super excited to get into the market today. What's going on will?
Uh, it's over, you know, like like every other day. It's over
I I wanted to talk about a few things and I think a lot of people are ignoring I guess the obvious I posted it up above
Um, I gave everybody the amd play basically for free. I didn't say anything as far as like
I guess too much on my timeline, but I definitely posted it. I posted prices. I gave people kind of my outlook on amd
And where I thought it would go now again, i'm not trying to you know tout on one trade because it's just one trade
Ultimately, though. I think it goes a lot higher
I think the the biggest takeaway here is is this the expectation of more upside, right?
That's that's more or less more of the conversation than it is
Um trying to say hey, I made this one trade ha ha ha it's it's more about
Why did this trade play out? Why does it work out and why do we continue to see these trades work to the upside?
There is going to be more upside like and that's that's that's what a lot of people are absolutely sleeping on I think I think
People seeing grayscale offloading don't understand the complexity of what's going on with grayscale
Um with competition basically in the market for their specific marketplace that they held, you know
Exclusively for a long period of time
Which is now no longer exclusive to them. It's now open to bigger players who are offering better rates
And uh people are not considering that they're actually looking at this like oh grayscale's offloading
They're trying to exit on all the utf news. It's like that's not what's going on at all
You're probably seeing some type of uh, you know investor slash
customer rotation out of grayscale grayscale
Into blackrock etf's arc etf's so on and so forth
Just because the rates are cheaper they're cheaper rates and that's that's why they're probably more or less
repositioning themselves to
Not be too heavily weighted in an asset that is not being accounted for by investors or customers
Which is what you should always do is which is what we call rebalancing your books
Um, so that that's what i'd assume is going on there with grayscale specifically, you know
And their dumps and their constant movements into coinbase
And everybody's looking at every move into coinbase as if it's some kind of sell-off scenario. That's going to push us into some
The market's been eating their their buys or their their cells the entire time
The asset has has been just as just as much, you know
Uh just as hungry as as the bid side
And I think that's what a lot of people are not paying attention to too. There's basically a buy wall essentially at 40k
Anytime you come into that range, it's getting eight up
And they they've continued to kind of retest retest retests
And really, you know, and I posted earlier today. I I truly think that the bottom is in for the current move
And we'll probably revisit highs before we visit revisit lows now. Could I be wrong or not? Sure. Sure. We could sweep
It's a mood to a lower position temporarily and then I'll move right back into the range again
Um, I could see that easily too, which it probably pushes in the 37 38k range
But I don't think we'll remain that very long if that ends up happening
The longer and longer that this plays out the less and less likely you're going to see low 30s
I know a lot of people have their eyes on low 30s
Um again time capitulation is the same as as any type of other capitulation
You need capitulation to happen. You need it to happen fast if you can't get capitulation to happen fast
It's not going to happen. You're going to leg again
And that leg is going to be in the direction that you're already moving which you know, ultimately I think will be higher so
Overall i'm looking for bitcoin to remain ranging between 40k roughly and 50
Um again, I think we might be able to form a higher high here, but I don't think it'll be much
I think it's just gonna be a range more or less for probably the coming months
Going into the habit and then even coming out of the habit. I don't expect us to do exponentials right away
Probably two three months after we should start to see some price action movement out of this range
So a lot of people are gonna be like, oh, this is boring. This is horrible. I don't want to be invested
Well, I could tell you if bitcoin ranges here altcoins are going to do a lot of things
So you have to keep on paying attention to the market specifically on that factor
A lot of people are getting scared out of their altcoins getting scared out of their positions
Now granted for good reason obviously, right? There is there is some significant downside in comparison
But at the same time you have to pay attention to what is actually occurring
And so while you're getting these dumps you can basically position yourself better
On these altcoins to be able to capitalize on the pop off that they should see
Um, you know whether that is actually coins or you're talking about all coins like chain link and engine
I'm talking about bags that you want to hold into the bull run. So not shit coins
It's more about lowering your average than it is about you know
Coming in and be like i'm gonna sell here and buy here
I think the people that are sell here buy here don't know where here is
And you know, they're they're consistently going to uh, sell these positions and then buy a lot higher while they're waiting for lower
Again, and I and I think that's the majority of people i'm seeing a lot of ta guys to talk about how
manipulation is manipulation that and and I tend to
Always lean on the factor that if you're saying manipulation, that means you knew it was manipulation
And if you knew it was manipulation, how are you not able to capitalize on the play?
Right, and this is why manipulation or people using the word manipulation without having evidence of manipulation
Are just literally talking out of their ass
They have no nothing to back that the whole point
Other than them just saying it because they don't actually understand what's going on
They don't actually understand the momentum. They don't actually understand the trend
They don't actually understand anything as far as markets go and these are the ta guys that I tend to watch
I do try to mentor people like that. I don't try to shit on them
I try to come into their their their feeds and and help them understand
And that they're willing to listen and i'm more than willing to help out because that's just the type of guy
And no, I have no affiliation. I want to point this out too before we close out the whole market scenario
I have no affiliation with nifty. I've never been paid
I have anything to do with them
I have my own money. I have I have things that I do for my own money. I don't need anybody's money
I was asking genuine questions
I do think that you know, there's some cool stuff there and I think that there's some horrible stuff there
I think they're terraforming is actually absolutely garbage
But I think like, you know, there's the other aspects of what they have going on are pretty cool
Like I played the shooter stuff. I thought it was actually not too bad. Um
And that's just me giving my honest opinion because that's what I always try to give I try not to be too harsh
Unless too harsh is needed right some funny shit's going on
I'm definitely going to be harsh and funny shit meaning like you're playing with somebody's money
That's where i'm going to have issues. But yeah outside of that just you know continue to play the market as it is
Amd absolutely blowing out. Um, I think it's gonna it's gonna basically follow invidia, you know as invidia continues to push
Uh, amd is going to be just a laggard to that so continue to watch it. Um, i'm thinking like 250 275 something like that for
For amd year end or 2025. Maybe maybe i'm a little too early on that one
Um, but I definitely think we can get into those ranges
whereas, uh, invidia itself i'm thinking like
Probably around 800 and I know that sounds extreme just draw a line across the highs
You can see the high-end trend it is it is a high-end bear div, you know on a multi-year, you know facet high
But I don't tend to play those because you know
It's it's you got years and years of data there and you know, even though you could be like, oh it's going to fall over
At some point it's like just follow the trend as it is
You know where your top is, you know where your bottom is run the channel and you know, play the charts as you see it
Yeah, overall though i'm i'm positioning a little bit more today
Um, that's pretty much, you know, all i'm looking to do
I don't really see a lot of reason to be upset about price
While a lot of people will leave every time they see a red candle and uh, you know
It is what it is at the end of the day, but that's that's pretty much it as far as press
How important do you think it is to
Uh, because I love sidechains high communities, you know, one of the biggest, uh
things I noticed when coming into web 3 and 20 like 2020 going into 21 when the hype cycle really started
You know different side chains and
Different communities going crazy, you know salana
Luna coin when that was a thing there is still people in that community that have not drifted into like cosmos
But how important do you think it is to not only be an amazing community member, but do research on other things as well
To other things because I mean so many people lost their everything, you know on on the one chain on the one coin
So from your experience of trading and and you know having exposure to the market for over 10 years
Well, what do you what do you recommend?
How do you how do we get exposure to all the chains and opportunities without being overwhelmed? Like scott's been sending shit every other day
Like new d pen and rwa specific coins and opportunities. So I I feel like uh, how do you find yourself being?
not overwhelmed when doing research
Uh, I just I I don't I don't tend to get attached to any coins specifically whether it be e salana
Uh, bnb like I I I watch people
Shit on bnb all through the bear market time. I was gonna collapse
Uh, be you know, finance is gonna collapse and all these other things and there's still people today. They're still saying that
Um, and and I don't I don't care about like people's opinion. It's just an opinion at the end of the day
I I care about where the liquidity flows are going and then I pay attention to that specifically
I don't I don't care about I don't I don't want to say like I don't care about salana or I don't care
I care about crypto as a whole like I think it's great. I think it's a great technology
I think it's you know, it's it's able to kind of give that transference of wealth
Uh from you know, a lot of these higher guys who come in and get washed every single cycle because they think they're buying
In the middle of the market when really they're bad on the top
Um, and i'm talking to the big dollar guys, right? Not not not you and I not
Your average joe not not your 10 million dollar guy. I'm talking like your your billions, right? Those guys coming and getting washed
um, but yeah, I mean overall as far as like chains like
I like to go to different chains of silver that but I can't get involved with like if people start getting culty with me
Like I can't I can't do that, right? That's just not my mo like i'm not i'm not a cult member of anything
Like i've gave fair assessments on azukis. I've gave fair assessments on plenty of different nft projects
I've gave fair assessments on apes. I gave fair assessments on games of you know, and and I look at it
Like okay, if this thing actually does really well
It can provide liquidity and this is where I need to be trading or where I need to be invested. So
Um, I just I try not to get in the mindset of you know
I need to only be on salado or I need to only be on ethereum or I need to only be on avax
And I I talk to people consistently about avax gaming. They sit there and laugh at me and i'm like, bro
There's actual liquidity there like just pay attention
You know in that again, that's just people getting in their culty ways versus, you know, just looking for liquidity
I think fishing for liquidity is important
Thank you, sir appreciate that I mean
It's easy to get overwhelmed. I I recommend staying staying consistent on one thing. I remember last year or even before that
From I don't know. This is just an example, right? But uh
Myself scott a few others like, you know, you find your niche of what you really like. I think that's important
I think um leash is so important. I remember 2016 2017. I was literally running around with my head cut off in different telegram chats
Trying to find the next big tent 2050 x of icl coin
But I didn't understand niche of like certain technology and certain things and like defi alone is like a niche and then you got deeper
Um, so I think that's important to find something that you're fascinated with
but there comes a point where
Even your fa doesn't matter anymore. That's that's when you know, you're kind of topping in the market
there comes a point where it's just hype hype hype hype hype hype move on to the next site and
That's where you know, the market is kind of overblown, right?
And that's where it can get out of control and you can lose yourself the most especially
Liquidity wise and it's where you got to really start dialing back your investments
You know either if you think there's a substantial bear market, like I thought going from 2021 into 2022 and
I mean, you know this profits when we're in the group we were in I was just like yeah, this it's over
The way the market was moving and everybody was just moving from one asset to another to another to another to another
And the quiddity flows were so high everybody was in profit. Everybody's in profit
Even your biggest losers, you know were in profit
In 2021 and that's not a sustainable market. It's never a sustainable market for everybody to be in profit
So at the end of the day, what does that do that draws in the the max liquidity when everybody sees everybody in profit
So that everybody comes in and when I say everybody I mean the most investors you're probably get to capitulate and enter
You know at that point now you're kind of stuck and now you've got to look at the market and you gotta be like
All right. Everybody's in here. Who's gonna bring liquidity now?
And they're like, oh the base there's no no everybody's in here. Everybody's in the room
There's nobody else to bring liquidity. It's done like
And and though that's when you know, the bear market has hit right? That's when you know, things have settled in
like I had people that were
Telling me on the way down and even even though they realized that we actually hit a bear market, right?
They were like, oh we can get a little bit more out of this
I'm like, why are you worried about a little bit?
I'm like you're gonna get wrecked trying to get a little more
I'm like just hold your position. Like don't don't don't be positioned like go cash
Or you know go something that's not gonna get crushed
And a lot of people wrote this thing all the way down because they thought they can get a little bit more
I'm trying to say this in the nicest way
It it shows people's bag size, right?
Because when people are that thirsty to get just a little bit more
You didn't make a lot. You probably didn't make a lot
Whereas the people that are ready to reposition and ready to see that downside when it comes
They probably made a decent amount
They they're able to look at the market from a reasonable standpoint
And then there are those guys that make a lot and they lose it all to the downside
And then sell the bottom. I watch a lot of people capitulate the bottom of bickwind
I watch a lot of people capitulate the bottom of the stock market everything else. Like just sell they sold everything easy
Easy on me will easy on me will easy on me, buddy
I'm just saying like it happens a lot and it happens to the best of us
Whether whether we want to want to think it does or doesn't it happen to me my first, you know first three years
buying tops and selling bottoms and then I'd actually like
Really dial in my my ta and be like look I need to come up with a strategy
Not just coming up like all right
This is how i'm gonna just roll and then i'll change it up when the market change again
Now granted. I do have a little bit of a flow to mine like I do kind of change it
Depending on what type of market conditions, but I tend to always have the same conditions
That I follow and that's just in simple invalidations of validations like invalidated
It's not me crying and saying I I should be right the market's manipulating
It's me saying shit. I was wrong. I need to reposition. I need to understand where we're going
So i'm gonna wait on the side and let this market figure out what it wants to do and then when it gets to a good level
And that's what really made me, you know work this thing through 2022
I I'll tell you this like I didn't see many successful traders in 2022
I really did not like I I did fairly well
But I did not see many successful traders in 2022 like down my timeline
Nobody was shorting. Everybody's saying there's going to be another bounce
Every single time and it just kept going deeper and deeper and deeper
And they were just telling their follows keep buying keep buying keep buying and maybe they're above water now
You know, but ultimately they weren't at a certain point because they were buying much much much higher like 60k 50k 40k
You know just kept buying all the way down. It doesn't mean that that strategy won't work long term
But you have to understand when you're in an overextended market when you're under extended
Look at all you farmers on the fucking stage that'd be oh my bad
I wasn't near my phone. Uh
But be excited about this shit like the profits you said the niche right? I love I love what you said
because your niche will find
Other shit, right you find your niche. Yeah. Oh, this is super interesting like like with me and profits
It uh, like, you know, we we fuck with collectibles, right?
so like that's how the whole little rwa road got got open and then we
We thought it was cool. How you could tokenize uranium
So we covered that one day and then all of a sudden that led to another thing another thing us finding peek
Fucking all this other stuff and then all of a sudden it's something a lane that I could use right?
Like that that that interests me
And boom, it doesn't even feel like work. It doesn't even feel like you know, you're just doing doing what you're doing
as opposed to what profits are saying
Like when you when you do it by by force
All of a sudden you're like, oh i'm gonna be a talk about gaming because gaming's popping now
That that energy runs out. It's almost like people in the mute people will always hit me up
Yo, scott teach me how to make beats bro. I won't make a million dollars
Like bro, it doesn't work like that, but you gotta actually like to make music. You gotta actually like
Do you want to learn scales? You know what I mean? Like do you want to like?
Do you even want to play in the right key?
Like yeah, I mean the simple shit like that
But you gotta you gotta like this shit if you don't like this shit
It comes out when you do a space like if you're not a real gamer
And I come to your space and you having a gaming space I could tell
First five minutes, bro. You ain't even excited. You know what I mean? You're excited to get that sponsorship bag. That's that's cool
But it's not gonna last right you're gonna get six months down the line. Hey, welcome to
All right, welcome to wendy's
Because you gave up on it
You can hear it all of a sudden motherfucker play call of duty for seven hours
And get prestige badge now all of a sudden they're like, okay that
You know what i'm gonna start advising million dollar game companies, uh and and being in business development and last thing
With the all you new bds that I just just came out of nowhere
You're don't be like i'm a bd. You're a salesman bro. Be proud of it
That's what a bd is bro. You're selling bro
I you chuck every word but that word, you know what I mean?
So if you knew the bd at least we read some books on business development
Read a book on partnerships. This shit is man. That is I want someone to scrape everyone's profile
It used to be nft advisor
Everyone's profiles head now. It's head of bd of
Fucking whatever director of ice with obtain the fucking bills. That's why we know how that went out
But now you got gaming advisor
And bro, you never did one thing in web two, you never did nothing in web two and a half
Yes, you're gonna tell you're gonna tell a company how to break a legacy system and get web three gamers
Popping and they have web two gamers
Yo, yo, yo, bro. That's exactly what we have in my industry
Tag jonah real quick tag jonah. Y'all this one's for him and you know, hold on scott never says that
No tag jonah, he went off the other day about web two
Crossover shit right about how all those things don't cross over bro. What's up with nifty island fam?
Motherfucker got 1200 followers combined bro on every fucking social app off twitter
I got I got questions, bro
I got questions because now profits gave you the opportunity and it sounds like you got bag of titans because that's your client
So, you know, I mean we just trying to we're trying to get the real answers here real quick though scott like
And what you said, it's perfect. Like I get that all the time people like what do you do for work?
I tell them what I do for work
How much do you make and i'm i tell them how much they're like, how can I do that?
It's like dude, like you don't even know what I do
It was like you have no clue like how this even how this even comes together
Like why are you asking me how you can do like get into a career that fits you?
That that's all it is at the end of the day like why are you worried about how i'm making money or
Because I make money we talked about yesterday will the makers and the takers the takers
Are looking for the advantage the makers are building the advantages
Right. And so like that's when you that's when you love it because you know
If somebody like comes in and it gets you for a little bit
But who the fuck is feeding you the rest of this week because I learned my lesson today
Right and I can do without because I made my shit from scratch
Right with these hands and I don't know. I kind of agree with that
We we have the same shit on my level of gas
We have a whole bunch of sales people that whenever someone needs to have a meeting
It's either near the president of the company flying out
It's like you work here and you get two percent of let me make
I don't know three and a half four million a month, right you get
Up to two percent of that, but I have to go tell the customer why we're better than everybody else
Knowing I hate putting shoes on knowing I can't fucking stand putting shoes on
I mean that's exactly how it is. Like you said is like you're the sales people, but
Are you making tech sheets for him? Are you doing quantitative analytics on their progress? Hell?
No, I mean you're buying motherfucker sandwiches. Like that's not sales. That's just showing up on time
Hey again, how the fuck can you be a web?
How can you be a gaming bd?
But you never worked in gaming who you bringing bro who you bringing?
Dude, what the fuck man? I I don't get it, bro. If you never did it in your life before
You don't have a network except for the fucking 18 people who play web 3 games. Who the fuck are you bringing to my company?
Salesmen, like I I who are you connect? Do you even know a voice actor?
Do you even know a professional player from the san francisco shock?
I'm a music producer and I sure the fuck do
And i'm not bd and no game shit no more. I gave up after banger games y'all can roast me for that
I roast my fucking self motherfuckers went out and bought a bunch of board apes and shit with the fucking vc money
Oh, well, I guess you said we can roast you
Well guys welcome to web 3 exposed, you know, we're live and well happy friday
My second favorite person in web 3 chicago is here. So he's gonna pass all you guys
And he's going first with the first take what's up, sir?
Is everybody in web 3 paint chips
Absolutely chicago and you've been right about everything. It's crazy and I digress with letting it with letting it for sure
Guys I I mean, yeah, i'd like to announce that because of myself proclaimed
Excellence in mortal combat and mario kart that i'm gonna become a game
Consultant. So if anyone's looking to overpay me for very little input
Um, feel free shoot me a call shoot me a text shoot me a dm
Call me if you want to reach me
So like I don't know like we'll we'll work for like 500 bucks an hour one hour max a week
That's all i'm doing. It'll probably just be a nut kick and telling you to do something else
But if anybody's interested like feel free, I was the absolute best at mortal combat notice chicago said hireable not affordable
Just put some respect on it
Well, I was giving a fucking discount bro. I ain't fucking taking a fucking job for fucking
And whatever the fuck that works out to them a year. I don't need 40 hours at that. I was just trying to be fucking nice
Oh my goodness, um, you guys might want to pull outside of gaming consulting is much higher
But for gaming I figured that's a modest answer considering that mortal combat stand near
It's like it's like pretty much you can buy me a really nice sushi dinner once a month
But you can't come and i'll talk to you on the phone
I don't do sushi, but we could figure something out like I mean that would probably be like in addition to like
$500 plus dinner. It's pretty much like vegas hooker prices
Yo for real our director gig at doodles
Wow, i'm coming high I don't care no more that oh my god, yo, I will say uh
You know we've had a lot of meetings in space. Um,
Chicago absolutely deserves
Even half the amount of people's paychecks in some of these companies
He will give you more insight and alpha than these fucking zoomers. Y'all be hiring, but that's neither here or there
Uh 20. Oh, we already passed 20 comments
So looks like one of you lucky people are about to get to me. So all you did was like comment repost. Listen
Thank you for being here. Appreciate you
Uh, whatever man. What's up?
How are you doing over there? I'm good. I'm good. Um
Scott you I think the comment that you made about being into music. I think that struck a chord with me exactly
It's it's exactly that sometimes if you're into it, you know the industry and
You're not necessarily faking it, right? Um, that's kind of
Something that I had to try to understand a lot of people in the space
They wanted to jump into the you know, the gaming stuff
And you asked them the question. Hey name me some of your games that you spent a lot of hours on
And they're just like today I asked a really big founder of this and the the way that he answered the question
I was like shit. Should I embarrass this guy on stage or not? Like and it's a very hype mint by the way a
and I wait I don't know I I don't want to disclose it because
Then already people flood me all the time. They think i'm like a negative nancy. I just like asking questions
Ask more questions. We're gonna actually get to the bottom of who's building some real question everything. Yeah 100 percent
This is the space where everybody wants to just pump my bags this bullshit like pump my bags bullshit and it's like
There's a possibility that the person claiming to build something has actually never fucking built anything
And they might be telling you that. Oh, yeah, we've been doing this and we have these
You know, uh amazing games and this and that and you find out
This guy's literally gonna ghost as soon as he gets the mint money
He's gonna fuck off and it happens it happens
And that's why I always try to when I interview founders I do amas and stuff
One of the biggest questions for me always is try to figure out instead of you know
Talking about your project and how you're gonna do something amazing for web3 gaming. I want to know about you
I want to know about the history. Why are you building in web3? Why not just stick to web2?
Why are you coming here? So
And it's it's interesting because some of these guys
cannot answer properly and you can hear it in the voice because they just beat around the bush and it's like
You're not even getting to the question. It's like somebody asking you yo name your favorite hip-hop album
If you're gonna give me some bullshit and you're just gonna beat around the bush like oh you can't pick somebody and this and that
Yo, at least you got to give me your top five or some shit or at least give me a rationale
So yeah scott what you said about the music thing bro. Trust me
I feel I feel you on that bro. If you could hear somebody that's not into a genre faking to be
Into a genre, you know what i'm saying? So thanks for uh, thanks for putting that out there, bro
Yeah, I mean that that that works somewhat but like
I would say you want you want you want both sides, right? You want somebody who's
Who's played games and you want somebody who has it so you can see how easy it is for somebody who's retarding, right?
Um like me and so like if it's easy for the people that have mental disabilities like myself
Um when you're getting into video games
Um, then it's easy for a lot of people. That means that you can pass onboard
But if it's only easy for the pro gamers
It means you may not get as much, you know catch from everybody as as you think you will
And so I I think that that there is there is kind of a two-sided coin there
Uh when we talk about these things
Um, by the way, i'm just i'm just playing like I've I've I played a lot of games
Like i'm i'm not a developer not at all. Not at all. I've never developed the game
I've never put together a game. None of that shit. Don't crawfish now will you're in it. Don't crawfish now
I'm being straight up. I'm not gonna have anybody come back and try get me later. Not gonna happen
Uh, I try to be straightforward about shit and that's that's just who I am
I've played I've played a lot of games
So I just I try to compare and contrast and see what I think works and doesn't work and then i'm like, okay
I'm not a developer, but from a player standpoint
It's not bad right or it is bad or you know any of those any of those scenarios
Um, so I think like there's there's a two-sided coin there
But if somebody's trying to like come to you like scott was saying and be like, hey, how do I how do I mix music?
And they say that the second you tell them how much you make
That's a problem, right? Like that's a problem. They're not interested in what you do
They're interested in what you make
And those people are the people that that have to be weeded out specifically and I don't mean like we're the weeders
You know we're the people coming and weeding them out
It's just good to know who they are
So, you know who where to not put your money because you know, it's going to get absolutely obliterated
All right, some hot takes one. I don't give a fuck about games. They're cool
But they're not worth all the arguments like people get way too fucking caught up in the financials of gay of the gaming industry
It sounds silly. You know love jonah, but even him like it's like, uh, it's like what are we fighting for?
Like let's have fun with that, right? Like set that aside
I i'm tired of the narrative that people are too stupid to make their own decisions
Or you know that they need the decisions
But you know, we just need to like really start with the accountability shit first
Like together because we do like hold that accountability personally
Right, like there's a certain level to that shit that like when people start writing off everything on somebody else's, you know
Um ecosystem or you know the blame game to me is just like fucking
It's it's annoying because like I said, I don't get to blame any of my problems on anybody else right now
And nor do I want to right like like if i'm bro, like if i'm broke, right
And I don't get paid by the next client that ain't on the next client
That's on me for making all those decisions over my life that put me in that situation with less than more
Right, and that's like the basis of accountability if I go to fucking france to go dance with the d gods, right?
And and I get robbed at the fucking train station
Like maybe I put myself from the wrong situation
In the wrong corner of a place or you know
So it's like people got to start like looking at their own position as their own position and in the community
We all become stronger from that
um in relation to what whatever man was saying like
Um, you know and scott like yeah do it like we all know this do what you fucking love
Like and then it ain't it ain't work. Like I I spend 16 hours a day on my computer because I fucking love it
Um, you know, i'm not the best developer
But i'm probably more passionate than some of the best developers which will make me get to the point
I want to get to right and it's like that's a personal venture
Um, you know and I don't think people should you know
Kind of uh carve an axe at each other on like personal ventures, right?
And like the idea that like, you know, I've heard people say it's like, oh we're all here for the money
It's like motherfucker. We all need money to go to the grocery store that like goes without saying if you're a grown-up
Yes, you need to make money
But like there are people that took a pay cut to do something cool that
Aren't getting less money than more money off of integrity and and doing the right thing versus the wrong thing, right?
So i'm a big believer that like i'd much rather have
$200,000 I made the wrong the right way
Then then to go get two to five million real quick the wrong way
And you know and that's a sleep on myself, you know, I mean money's great
But like what the fuck are you buying?
You know, that's where i'm at with them people just like they all want to get this fucking money
But if you ask them like what would you do when you get a billion dollars?
They'll just tell you how much they're how they're gonna get more money and it's like, okay
So you're gonna do nothing productive for pretty much anybody if we give you the crown. So let's uh, you know, let's maybe
Uh stop handing out these crowns to people because they got money
Like let's let's investigate what they're actually fucking doing
Because like that's why I love this show. It's like somebody come up here with hype with uh, with you know power of
Of audience and then we're basically gonna ask them, you know, the brass tacks of what they're fucking doing
Now I think we need to ask ourselves that more every day like what the fuck am I doing?
And I and that question to myself i've gotten uh, some great challenges that i've had to overcome
And that shit's made me stronger not necessarily richer
But stronger and and then when I get richer i'll be uh, i'll be flush, you know, that's how I feel about it. So
Looks like pendant of top
Chicago feels the same way about artifact senior. Go ahead, sir
I just wanted to come up here and say it bit boys fault. Uh, so we were blaming people
Uh, ever since he came back and was the conqueror or salana where we did pump salata did pump
I think he's he's the he's the main signal and uh, therefore he gets all the blame
I couldn't agree more with that tick
Uh, if you're somebody as well looking for designs hit up that guy senior, he knows what he's doing. What's up peoples. Go ahead
Hey, good afternoon fam. I really hope everybody's having a wonderful friday
I just kind of want to bounce off what will and scott just said, you know something i've realized not only in this industry
But in life period it's passion before money
And that's something that I really feel a lot of people lack like for example
My wife is a tattoo artist, right?
But yes, we do take care of our children with that
But she genuinely loves what she does if she goes a day without tattooing. It's not herself anymore
So something i've realized what we have to do in this industry. What will said is
What do you actually love to do?
So for example, if you've never been an onboarding manager for a web2 company or anything of that sort
How do you expect yourself to be a mod in a discord project?
Their job is to onboard new people to the project, right?
But if you don't know how to speak to people you have zero professionalism. You don't know how to articulate
You're not going to onboard anybody
Another thing that i've realized too within this industry is because everybody's hiding behind a pfp
And I do know a lot of people are doxing themselves more
But imagine if you're a founder and you have this bright idea
If you walked into a bank right now and they were to ask you what's your business development plan?
What's your overhead cost going to be? How many employees are you going to need and you have zero answers for them?
They're going to say sorry bubba. You're not cut out to run a business. I think we need to start
Basically holding people more accountable when this industry with those same questions
So again, it's not about like dogging people. It's just making sure that they're actually here for the right reasons
another thing that I think is it's very dangerous to portray yourself as a
how do I say this as a professional in any topic because
Just because I use adapt and i'm sure everybody in this audience has used one before
I am not qualified to explain to you how it works the mechanics behind it and all that good stuff
But if we want to talk about onboarding and stuff like that cannabis education, that's me
But that's because I love it. I'm passionate about it. So I just kind of want to throw that out there
It's okay to love something. It's okay to want to learn new things as well
But don't portray yourself as a professional because at the end of the day, you can't hurt somebody out there
Do you think we're trying to onboard too much? Do you think onboarding should just happen naturally?
You know, I think it's a fucking buzzword
I think you guys talk about it, but don't do shit
What does that mean is the buzzword because like when I heard about dogecoin or whatever back in the day
I figured out how to do it and I got onto it, right?
No one told me he just he was just like, you know, oh and it got I got curious
But had he been like, you know those back in the day your facebook friends from high school with dmu
Low-key trying to reconnect but they were trying to sell you some like tupperware or some shit
Like no one tried to do that with me on crypto. Like I figured it out myself. What percentage are you of the population?
Hey, no, but senior a I actually knew senior on fake a y'all motherfuckers was clowning me on my facebook
I actually mean senior met in the end of 2020
Not just now because gary v said it this is 2020
What uh, what's funny too with uh with seniors fucking asking? Oh my bad. Hold on. My kid is crying
Sorry guys. Hold on go to someone else though
I mean onboarding is a buzzword. It should be analogous content drives
Uh the necessity for ownership, right? And I think this is where we lose the boat on crypto is we aren't able
to make it real for other people
You know by way of analogy and I mean, I don't know that's it
I have to describe high level shit to I don't want to call them
Them apes but people who care very little about the technology or or the technicality of the things that they do
And it's like you should because you could die and they're like it's fine
We have good insurance and so you know
Like you consistently have that thing and so most people if they think that their espn and and their payment platforms work
Then what do they need a different thing for and so so for us like we either need
Explain it or elucidate the finer points of what it is
That's beneficial to them or find that bridge like oh, would you really like to play this thing?
Well now you can play this thing
Exactly the way you do it somewhere else
But the benefits are this and I don't think we've reached that yet
In the gaming side because i've played a lot of the games and they're like, I think we're gonna get at people with this and it's like
Are you replacing something that they do currently because you want someone to try some triple new shit?
Like here's a game that you haven't played
With art that's not as good as the shit that you currently play that costs
Definitely the pfp costs more money than you would pay for a title
Like it's it is too much of an ask at once
You know and then some of us are gatekeepers and secretive
Business develop it as scott would say you need to be a real fucking bd and understand the nature of human beings and how
You know, what's good everybody, uh, I know I just want to say uh
Yeah, fuck anybody calling themselves an expert in crypto because like we've all been here for like not that long
I feel like that 10 year thing is like super porn, especially with nfts
Like you know, like at the end of the day, like nobody really knows what they're doing
So, uh, I just wanted to say like, uh, I think who was saying that peoples was saying talking about that
So I just wanted to one up that that point
All right, so I don't want to ruin any consulting jobs I might have in the future but I got a web3 gaming question
Since I haven't played anything since mortal combat or technically mvp05 winnier sports lost baseball
Why the fuck does any of this need to actually be?
Considered web3 like isn't the whole concept of this games that work
That have a wallet that allow you to hold little things that you can play within the game
That don't actually play in the game
But the blockchain sends a little note to the game to tell it that you can use this special skin
And you own it and you can sell it
Like isn't this just an add-on to a playstation? Like there it is. There it is my man
Simplicity like that's the only like that that's the thing to me
Like if you told me that I won in a game and I beat it
I fucking beat mike tyson and I got special gloves and now I can sell them to somebody who sucks at tyson's punch out
Like what is the game doing with interaction to the wallet with the exception of giving it the okay?
That you have those gloves that you don't actually have because they're digital
But you do have them because you can sell them or transfer them
Like what am I fucking missing that like why is web like give me one selling point on why web3 gaming is a word
Hey, can we uh, please tag all these web3 gaming experts because we've been we all agree with you chicago
Like but I would love all these I thought I was crazy
I'm not allowed to ask certain questions because i'm not qualified i'm not an advisor for a game
Like isn't it? I mean scott knows well i've given him my critique on this one
But isn't this the same fucking shit as music?
Like nobody's fucking writing music on web3. No one's selling a web3 album. Like if you want to have
Chicago, I love that because I people get mad at me because I called
Back in the day blau had a space called nftv's uh music nfts aren't real
And everybody even are like our own peers and homies were fired up
But for me, it's a variety of that. Yeah, it's a merch extension
Like that's on the blockchain and i'll say this again. I bring this up
David bony sold royalties his bonds like 30 years ago
And chameleon air did this fan club shit in the myspace days work and just
And justin blau tried it again and realized that it doesn't work here either
So take that shit back to the toilet where it belongs
Where were the dreamers at?
Listen i'm all for it like i'm all for innovation and music
But like nobody has to like sit here and like fix a reason that they need this
This is like somebody telling you that there should be five seat belts in cars because one seat belt wasn't enough
Not arguing statistically you could be correct five seat belts could be safer than one seat belt
I don't know, but is it worth wearing four extra fucking seat belts to get there?
It's not even about the safety it's about the cost technically it costs more to be dead
Uh in the whole, you know number of people in the car
Yeah ferret, I mean, but but what's the added value of any of this like like music?
Don't get me wrong. If anybody changes it and says you can't listen to something without it
But like all you're doing is replacing
The approval from apple or spotify to let you listen to music with something that's on the blockchain
Like I mean I get the gimmick I get that like first couple people to drop something it's out there same thing with gaming
But like I mean, what am I missing that like the only thing playstation's missing to tell everybody to go the fuck home
Or a computer game's missing to tell people to go home
Is a vault for your assets that you win or buy in a game?
I agree 100 with this music and it's crazy that it's been coming up and like realistically
I think everybody's just looking at it wrong, you know, like a majority of people currently don't buy music
They stream it they pay a subscription and they just stream their music. Nobody really read ten dollars, too
Listen, I didn't even i've never used spotify in my whole fucking life
The first time I ever turned a music subscription is when apple let me click the right button twice and look at my phone
Like it's all right. Cool. I'll subscribe if it's that easy
Like that's all it fucking takes. I didn't want to buy any more albums. It's the same shit with music though
Like, you know, don't get me wrong the idea
Of what what the fuck is that scott? What is justin blouse fucking company?
If it wasn't illegal to sell music royalties as a security
Like I mean if somebody wants to write that contract with a lot of people like all I mean
This is really just the labels fucking replacement
Like if there's a song that's hot enough that's making money in streaming
But then you got to flip it what asshole's going to sell their streaming royalties for less money than their streaming royalties are worth
Like, you know, like hey scott music do web 3 our
Dude, they're a tool to like and that's why I think people are getting confused
You know, it's like it's not a way to sell music and track royalties and do all this thing
Yeah, they can be done, but it's not the best use case
You know realistically the best use case is that direct to consumer follow-up that being able to identify true fans
You know things of that nature, you know that I don't think I don't need to get that data
As an artist from the streaming spot. Hey, hey, y'all see what taylor swift is doing right now, right?
She's doing all this like, you know, you do this. She's gonna be she's gonna be an exception to every fucking rule right now
I'm talking about she's literally doing web 3 quote unquote web 3 reward shit without it
She's literally killing it without I mean, dude. Listen, I had seven. I have
Make a claim here. I had 700 fucking taylor swift fan club accounts
That I paid 70 a year for because all they did was fucking made you have to buy something to get utility of something
That was worth more. This isn't like reinventing anything like i've had a thousand justin bieber fan clubs
I got you two accounts that are fucking 20 years old because every year they keep adding to it
That doesn't need to be on the blockchain
Like there's a lot of industries that don't want shit on the block same reason that the ticketing argument goes on
Like the biggest problem is the real people who actually sell tickets and sell numbers
Don't want you to see the dirty shit in the backend
Like that's the main reason why nfts can't work or blockchain won't ever be adapted by ticket master
Because they have to be able to hide it and if you hide it, what's the point in fucking moving it?
Go ahead, whatever man. Can I squeeze in? Oh, sorry guys. Sorry
No, no, no, no, go ahead. Go ahead. I'll go after him. No worries. Okay
Yeah, thanks man, so sorry about that actually
uh, it's like so spot on that it's hard to
deny it i'm kind of an optimist
Uh too hopeful about chain, but especially the last point you make that uh, this isn't necessarily
Something like when we're talking about blockchain the fundamental thing there is like it's a decentralized computer
That's generally transparent and of course majority of these businesses are kind of extractive at least to some degree
So if we're sure they're not the ones that want it we kind of had this conversation a couple days ago
I'm not sure if it was in this space
This is one of us pretty good the most but it was the kind of like, uh, a question about
Like the fundamental philosophy of what made blockchain so popular in the first place like the first product was bitcoin trying to be
Because the money system is like great in theory
But it's kind of got all of these kind of layers of corruption
or things that don't necessarily
uh benefit the base user at the cost of
Like benefiting I guess the people that control the system. So there are situations like there's a
game situations that come to mind one of them is like let's say you're playing like
I don't know. It's like let's say you're playing a game of like blackjack. It helps to know
How many cards kind of exist?
At the beginning before you start the game depending on
What the rules are of the game you might want to change your strategy and there's no
Nothing to say like in australia. For example, we have like, you know, 30 decks
And in some places they have like strictly one deck to let people know and they can use their
Another example is for example
Very recently there was a game called maple story. They were selling like millions and millions of dollars worth of
Might be presenting a certain amount of stats where they say like you have a five percent chance of earning this upgrade
But actually in their game code, it didn't really exist. It wasn't a five percent chance
it was uh, like maybe zero point five percent chance and majority of their player base didn't know this another example is
a little bit more kind of like in the physical and
Blockchain space there was of course pokemon cards. We know they're very very popular
Baseball cards, they went through the exact same historical thing where they became popular
They became something that people would kind of go to
collecting with a certain expectation the expectation also being
I guess maybe some assumption but there's some also like the way that it's presented you kind of have
These expectations. So in pokemon's example
One of the guys in the factory was just storing all of these like holographics and super rares and stuff
So you'll see products on chain
That are a little bit better regulated like that. And of course, it's not going to come from pokemon
But if we realize that we're getting like better products outside, then I think we start to at least
I guess like bring a counterweight and start to build onto that expectation
That we kind of know to some degree and have a higher desire
But yeah, like you said a lot of those things are absolutely true and they have to be
Interpreted into the software in most cases. The software is like centralized in 99 percent of cases and it's not necessarily
regulating all of those but it could be the inventories it could be like the
Stats it could be the numbers. You would know how many exist and where they exist
It's got to be from the primary that's the whole key to all of it like the future can change on that right on
But like you can't you can't go back retroactively and start tagging shoes are all this shit
But you can easily put an nfc chip in between the two pieces of cardboard at the factory
Like you can I mean those are the changes that can happen in physicals
But I wouldn't collect jordan cards if all of them were psa tens
None of them could be damaged none of them held that part of hit, you know
Like it's the those are the pieces that you have to have for physicals though
Like you have to have it from the manufacturer in a way that makes it call it too hard to counterfeit
Like that's the difference. Yeah, it's the same reason you don't see new printed
Fake jordan rookies that are good. It's because that card is 35 years old
And you can't age that thing properly. It's you know, there's different things in the way they do it
But yes, if everything was chipped
Then you only get into like the scam of whether or not somebody could in theory like reach ship a card
But that's not even it's not feasible. It's the same as like, you know people washing two dollar bills and turning them into hundreds
Um, you're a great conversation by the way guys, um really dope I
You guys know i'm usually extremely opinionated to a point where I have a question for you
Are you practicing to be an arbine singer? Why you sound like berry white?
Yeah, it's just why do people say that? I just
I just speak into the phone and you know, um, what's what's my homies?
Like you're talking like you just met a girl on hinge and you're just connected the fuck
Okay. Okay. I'll try and speak a little bit louder. I can't it is what it is, man. Um, leave me alone
Uh, so what was I gonna say? Now you threw me off. Oh, okay
so the thing about web3 gaming, um, there's
There's pros and cons to it obviously and sometimes I think to myself i'm like
But now if you're in the eastern part of the world where you have less liquidity less money
And you see this as an opportunity
I feel like the use case is so good. It's so good
I I just hope that we get a lot of builders that are not just trying to extract liquidity from these markets
Because there's also that there's a lot of people that will build here
Um just to extract liquidity
And then there's other people that are going to actually try to build a legacy here
Um, they're going to try to build stuff that lasts for 20 30 years
Um, I asked another founder today on an ama
A game that he spent a lot of time playing it or you know, what's his background and he said final fantasy
And I was like, uh mfr is a gamer because you know, i've played that game for decades
If you if we talk about gaming some we have to remember sometimes people just play games forever and as the world becomes
Digitized it's just another
Sphere where we feel like that has to belong gaming has to belong there, too
And then it goes back to the history of this whole crypto stuff and where it came from and how it started
You know for some of the people that are eth maxis
Um, you know one of the reasons why vitalik even jumped into this whole thing with you know, ethereum and and all that is because
He was a gamer first. He was and and if people that don't know the history read up on it, right?
He was he was a gamer first. He was
Uh, and it was there was some sort of frustrations with the farming of the assets in game
And he felt like there needed to be you know, a currency and stuff
I I understand from like somebody that is playing like mortal combat
Um, you're like why the fuck does this need to be you know exist on on blockchain?
But if you're looking at it from like strategy games, um
There's a lot there, you know because in strategy games you build stuff you trade stuff you you try to collect resources you're farming shit
So from that perspective blockchain is probably the best place to build something
so I guess i'm just thinking like okay, what if I was in you know, one of these countries where
like for for example like axi infinity it exploded because there was a lot of people in the philippines especially
That were playing this game and they realized well
I can make so much money if I just play this game farm this and you know
Take some liquid and pay my bills and eat food and all that stuff
I'm extremely bullish on web3r gaming. I think the biggest thing is
We just have to dodge the bullets because not I from if there's a hundred games that get launched
Maybe three to five will survive the rest are probably going down the toilet
So I think that's also part of the equation part of the the the understanding of who's really here building shit
And who has an actual backing?
It is important to look at you know
The runway that some of these people have as well like in terms of being able to build and scale some of these
Uh things and the other the last thing i'll say too that's something we need to focus on as well
If we're having these kind of discussions
This is something that a lot of people don't talk about and it's extremely important because if you're going to build something for
This whether it's this bull market or you're trying to build something for the next decade
How to gamify your game you need to figure out how to scale it how to have layers to this
Um, it's a big fucking chess game. If you're not a chess player, you need to at least understand how that works, too
I'm pretty sure whatever man will get smoked in chess. Go ahead bread
Yeah, yes a few things right I think again with the gaming it's you know
The big argument is that it's like, you know, you can bring your assets across different games, right?
The problem with that is that you would need every game studio out there to all play with each other
Right and that's just not going to happen
Right. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a bunch of private chains and they're going to use it on their back end and
Realistically, they don't need to you know, I mean we're already seeing epic, you know on fortnite. You can earn skins for your cars in uh,
You know, so I mean you can already bring assets across their games in their ecosystem now and I can almost guarantee
They're probably not using blockchain for it, you know, because why why would they need to?
You know, I think that there's a lot that could be done with games, but realistically at the end of the day
The blockchain is just a database
You know and it's an immutable database
So the only benefit realistically I could see in gaming is like high scores, man
You know, like everyone loves getting the high score at the the arcade or whatever like online tournaments things like that like don't
Commit it and now you have that, you know time and date you have the high score bragging rights. That's about it realistically
You know that I think that would really even be beneficial to use the chain
You know and uh with the physicals that we were just you know, talking about briefly before that, you know
I think that's something that we've yet to see
Um is for high end, you know goods and products and things like that
It's going to be kind of like a almost like a ub key type system, you know, where you're like
Yeah, you have an nfc tag, you know embedded into whatever product
But then you also get one when you buy that product as far as like your key or whatever, you know
And those two are linked, you know
I think at that point now you're not really going to be able to counterfeit because you're not going to be able to
You know tap and unlock the app or do whatever however ux somebody that designs that around
You know, I think that that's going to be a huge huge unlock for the you know
The rwa space once somebody figures it up
No, I was just going to say on that rwa space thing like I agree with you on that but like
How am I trying to word it
If it's there to stop counterfeiting
Then it only works on super high end
Like we already know that when china has too high of a cost to produce something without enough demand
It's the same way that like in sneakers the dorenbacher collection doesn't get faked
Because they use random one of materials on something. They can't do the volume of
To be honest, like I mean even if people have luxury items
How many people are actually giving a fuck to go scan their bag and show somebody that it's real?
Like, you know like in the high end luxury department
Like for the most part like people who have that stuff don't need to prove it to anybody and that's what the nfc
Or whatever chip you're going to put in there is
Like it only matters on sale
So like you're developed you're spending a lot of money to develop something that only matters
For the sale of a product and only matters for x amount of years more
Because I mean, you know, like anybody using rfid like
Get a flipper zero and you can fucking change
It's the same reason that they send stolen cars to canada and fucking come back with new vins
It's not going to be that different
Like it's still the tech inside of a chip. That's 15 years old 10 years old and doesn't have
don't know it doesn't have a reason to
There's nothing new like everybody's using rfids and nfc chips like they're new but they've been two cents on amazon for a decade
I think the value becomes an insurance as well because I think if you have high end luxury products you're going to insure them
Improving that authenticity for any claims things like that. I think it's
My insurance agent hypothetically allegedly is the person who puts extra shit on there that I don't own
You know, like call it what it is
But the insurance company is like there's a little part of it people at the top want to like do this
But do they want to spend the money to do that?
Like I don't I don't think that like that's the
Like what is it really doing when you insure that you have it to the insurance company? They're already taking your word for it
Like, you know, it's kind of like I mean, I use the chris farley
But it's like you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass
But i'd rather take the butcher's word for it
How much for a rack of ribs
Oh man, but yeah, you're not wrong chicago
But I do think like like with the nfc chips like being being around for a long time, right?
Like we saw the same thing with qr codes like qr codes are finally starting to take off and be implemented
Took like almost 15 years or more for these things to actually be taken seriously by like even the biggest corporations and now they're integrated in like
Every system and like and so inside of like the supply management chain
And then you start to balance that with nfc chip
You get what you get is like a more robust data data set and it's like and if data is going to be god
For the next, you know hundred years on this planet
Like I said, you know, no disrespect to the real god
But you know, essentially we gotta like we gotta figure out ways to leverage that
And um, and that's where the nfc chips I think are actually going to make their big push is like it's just like a necessary
Step in the right it's and not in the right direction, but in that direction like it's already progressing there
Right, and it's just going to take people like a while to actually like what scott was saying integrate the
actual sensors and interfaces inside of all of these different supply chains
Because that's what scott was bullish on like right before you got here he was talking about in depth
Was like the idea that now like walmart is essentially already integrating all of this stuff into their supply chains
Like as we speak right. They've been ahead of the ball
How expensive are nfc chips?
Like if you buy like a billion like if you're a bear like are we talking are we down to a penny under a penny?
Like I don't know where they actually like the price of paper
So I mean even used to even use the price of paper
Like this is why for sports cards
You just basically went and doubled to two and a half times the cost of a card
because all it was was raw paper and now you have to add in the
You have to add in the construction of it to make sure that they're in between all of it
You have to deal with like that kind of stuff
That's why I just say like it all works when everybody makes it the standard
But then you have to wait five ten years for it to be relevant
You're not going to go there's no good way to go backwards
Is that this whole thing is based on like the fact that people will burn capital to get data
Right, like they will make large burns
It's already been been assumed by every bc that we're going to burn x amount of capital to grab y amount of data
And and then we'll be able to make z so it's like as long as as the juices work to squeeze which like
A couple of senses negotiate like okay
If I got to pay a couple of cents to put a sensor in all these places
It makes sense if that if that ends up over 10 years yielding 10 dollars, right?
That's why i'm bullish on iot eot as opposed to I mean
I see like the nfc chip like obviously I pitched the shit to lego live like yo fucking use this so you can't boot
Lego lego shit, so i'm still bullish on that shit, but i'm more bullish on what you're saying
Saul where the device the iot device can actually you know execute a smart contract maybe when one day
Our iot devices will be fucking the size of nfc chips, but we're not there yet
So that's why i'm more bullish on iot. Obviously I talk about all the time making eot
And more on that device side as opposed to like putting um, like chicago saying
The chip and everything I think there's like a middle answer
For like that and it would be like what chicago said maybe five years
Already the bluetooth like isn't that the whole point of it?
Like you're not actually doing anything with the physical piece of one cent paper. It's what's interacting on the device
At the end of the day like we're talking about something that's that's already invented. I mean you got air tags, right?
The thing that that's basically pushing this, you know for tracking and so on and so forth
That a lot of people don't even realize that you're utilizing for tracking
Yeah, but this is like the hey babe swallow that air tag meme
Yeah, yeah for sure and and I do agree on the insurance thing, right?
Like I've never had an insurance like flood or fire scenario where they haven't just been like how much was it?
All right. We'll write you a check
And so on and so forth they don't care they don't care about any of that stuff authenticity only matters in secondhand market
Secondhand markets don't make enough money to be able to capitalize on adding
Extra scenarios to authenticate something like if that was the case
They would just go to the store at the store authenticated and then show you proof that the store authenticated that it's uh, you know
A Gucci bag or whatever. So because people aren't willing to do that
They're definitely not going to be willing to go any other routes to to prove authentic
Authentication again, secondhand market is like the worst market to actually try and get in on and try and create for you
Never want to create a significant market
I don't want to give an artifact any fucking credit but it's like the one thing artifact
Probably does right or it has for the future of night. It's okay to give them credit chicago
No, they don't deserve shit
They're fucking retarded. Sorry to anybody that offends
The interaction of what you can do with an nfc chip in there
Is what everybody's reaching for like you don't need new tech for it
Like if you put that nfc inside there and I write an app
That's where i'm getting all my data
I'm not getting it from the chip inside it like the chip or the card or the sticker or anything. It's authenticity
Nobody really fucking needs the authenticity part at this scale
What they need is the interaction like I got fucking art on my wall
If I could walk up with my app with my phone right now and tap it and it gives me exclusive access to buy the next one
That's what they're reaching for. That's where the data comes from like all you have to do is put an nfc chip in
And then six months later when you do the next one you tell people to open your app tap your fucking phone
And you're the only people that can get that because you just proved you have it
Like that's all it is. Or a chicago
What if you had a sensor in the shoe
And uh when you walked a hundred miles on this fucking top layer
They have those in the crypto kicks like that's why i'm using it as an example
Like even though it's a terrible shoe that they overcharged for and wouldn't put nike's name on it because they didn't want to fucking
Like that's the whole point like everybody's talking about like check it out these air forces will fucking you know
You can verify authenticity no offense
I fucking never needed to fucking legit chuck a fucking shoe by fucking fake or fucking real factories from nike for a minute
Like I don't need you to spend money i'd rather you just keep that stuff to yourself but
And also a lot of people don't a lot of people
Chicago let's go be outside with it. That's it
The interaction is fucking cool kids in school want to fucking show somebody their fucking shoe and say tap it if you want my access
But the whole idea of making physicals into a digital world is you should hold the physical
And that's it like it shouldn't be something that sits on the fucking chain and you trade the nft to trade this
Or whatever the fucking everybody's doing
It's just this simple interaction of what an nfc chip is like if you come to my house and tap the little thing that says wi-fi
With your phone it connects to my wi-fi. It's an nfc chip inside a little sticker. I bought for fucking 30 cents on amazon
That's the value of it. It's the same shit. We've had for a decade. Well, yeah
But it's like the integration how it takes time, right?
It's like the technology can be there but then integrating it into the current systems without breaking them
That's like that's where the finesse happens and that's where like the marketers get their panties in a bunch
And they're trying to over market something that's not necessarily ready
So because we knew about these things doesn't mean they were like ready to go to market or actually be integrated into like
A global shipping mechanism, right? Like like the old people that run the show
They're not ready for a lot of these movements towards like full-scale, you know
Data, you know abstraction where like everything is data and it moves the needle without us asking
Right and like and so the automation that's like this is where the push and pull comes is like the nfc chips promote automation
Which for a big portion of the world signals like you're going to be out of a fucking job
So there is like generally a pushback to even like implementing this technology because ultimately even if it works for you now
It's going to work better than you in the future
And you know and that that puts people that kind of like this weird loss with themselves
I don't think it comes down to that
So I think it comes down to cost at the end of the day the cost over everything
If the cost is not feasible, they don't give a shit and that's basically it
I think that's the way people always have to look at this never look at it as anything other than that
You know outside of that too
I think the only place that really you know, it makes sense to track things would probably be perishables
Right to really tell through if you're buying something that's expired or not in those scenarios
It does make sense to track perishables, but outside of that things that aren't perishable, you know, whether they're authentic or not
You know again, you can go to a gucci store and say hey, can you verify this is authentic?
They'll tell you straight out the bag as soon as you buy it
Look at look at when look at when china got good enough with a louis keeper or a louis neverfull
Oh for sure like that was the that was the time when fakes changed when louis couldn't tell you if a neverfull was fake
I mean cookies cookies buys by i've heard this
I don't know if it's the truth
But you know maybe somebody can confirm but I heard cookies buys like knock off product if it's good enough
That's already bagged up in their bags
Like they're knockoff bags and they'll sell it in their store because they got the license to sell that product
It was funny. It's like it's one of those worlds where like people
If it's good, if it knockoffs good enough, nobody gives a fuck and it's gonna move right? I mean, no, no
I I think people do care but I would
To add to it, um, I I think what you're talking about though chicago and you'll probably agree on this is
um, you know that that's more or less like a a dynamic shape or a dynamic change in in uh
Basically, you know copies or so on and so forth like those those are scenarios that do occur where they kind of switch up and get better
Um, whereas like once that's caught on to then then, you know
Now we're back at the trend of being able to track and figure out what's fake and what's not
But those do happen from time to time and that that's just because you know people get better and better and better at
Recreating things and especially after you've been creating a louis vag for like multiple decades. Like you're you're definitely going to be pretty
At a certain point, uh, so yeah, I agree but I I don't think anybody ever buys
Um counterfeit on purpose. I think people buy a counterfeit on accident
Hold on on your your way off if you think the counterfeit game, isn't real
No, no more more. I think it's real more people buy counterfeit for real reasons than buy it by accident
Like that's why canal street is canal street
Like, you know call it what it is
But people aren't going there like trying to get a discount on real they're accepting that they have something that looks
99% as good and the average person can't tell you like most people spot a fake on somebody because the person who has it shouldn't
Like that's the reality that too for sure like but that's the bigger one. Everybody else doesn't care
Like I mean I consider and tell you plenty of people
I mean like i've sat here a million times and been like shit
I could put that fake blank on and no one's ever gonna say a fucking word to me. It doesn't mean that I would
also, they don't fucking favor big guys, but
Regardless like that that's the whole point like the fake i've always been a believer that fakes drive up the real market
In anything like every shoe that's ever been faked became bigger. I don't care what anybody, you know says to that
It's like a validation, right?
But the other problem is block blockchain can't physically put something into a physical good
A person has to be responsible for that and if anybody's realized about shitty people for the past 20 fucking years 30 years
shitty people will still find ways to do things at the top
And then you get into the consumer side where like they don't want to have an exact number of something out there
Because it hurts them same way ticket master can only show you 30 of the tickets
Like they don't want that ability to be there
Oh my don't even get me started on ticket. Oh, don't get me started on ticket master. I mean i'm just being honest like
They're trying fucking flow
There's a reason that the same people that are regulating this with the shitty sec or the same people who fix that game
But like that doesn't you know it you're right the corporate greed is the top of it
But like the whole thing is there has to be a need for something like people always say find a problem and solve it
Most of web 3 isn't real problems
It's fake problems that are people are trying to sell you to solve it
Like that's is you know, like i'm okay with every product in the country that costs over fucking 10
Spending a penny to put an nfc chip in it
And then you let people basically do what they want to do with that database of those nfc numbers
But that's all it really is like, you know, like you can say whatever you want about nfc chips
But just wait till the factory says send me back the chip i'll send you a new bag
Like i'm in the real i mean you can call them fakes you can call them unauthorized
But like, you know, if I want to get a fucking sample jordan right now, that's a fucking twenty thousand dollar shoe
It's not coming from down the street. It's coming from the actual nike warehouse
Like it's just you know, you gotta just accept that like
Blockchain can't implement something into a physical all they can do is trust that the person who put it in there is honest
But I think that's what that's you're right and that's what like the nfc
In between the blockchain in real life kind of offers is like the chance for robotics to possibly automate portions
Not everything but portions of these processes and whether it be like that's like, you know
Like you're talking about validation of of real versus fake. I think I gotta say it's going to be more
Logistics is where it's really going to like come
Sports cards might be your easiest robotic collectibles. Yeah
Again, I'm just you know, because like that one's one you could actually document through a machine
I mean don't get me wrong like people then would have to expose
At least like somewhere of a loop of production because otherwise you still don't have the trust
But like in a sticker that goes between two three pieces of cardboard and
Like yeah, you could absolutely put those into there
But then it all comes down to what the company wants to do with it
And it's it breaks down to like the first person to actually make a system that makes money in public is like
That's when it starts to happen, right?
It's like none of this stuff we're doing right now happened until somebody went and made a bunch of money publicly
With this technology and then people become interested
So it's like that's kind of where we're at now
I think it's like a lot of the technology is sorted people are trying to figure out how to implement it into like
Revenue models that work and they can go sell to a c-suite that makes sense where it's like
This makes sense for x y and z you might lose
You know upgrading your systems
But once your systems are upgraded you cover that cost then you're going to get all of these benefits
Right, and and so that's like I think where the industry is now in relation to our relationship to rwa's depends and then integrating ai
With all of these things at once it's like it's a lot to take in for somebody who might be 65
And in control of a huge budget and not know what to do with it
But no, he knows the world's moving under his feet faster than he can stand up
We were just kind of at the standstill I feel like and it's not gonna until the change in guard really happens where we don't have
A fucking 90 year old president, you know, no shade to 90 year olds
Um, you know, I think we're going to be kind of at a standstill still waiting for you know
The players that own the money to make the actual you know, buy and purchase of these technologies
Isn't it more savings though and like inventory management than it is authenticity right now with like the whole key pin space like yeah
I think that's a big plan
Like to me the plus is that you can put stuff that's all shipped in a room and I can push a button and I can
Read how many are in the room? I can read what left
It's not really about I can tell how far something is for me
Like those are the reasons I figured that like this new era of you know, what you're talking about makes sense
It's not the authenticity of it
Like there's so few case uses for where authenticity really matters enough and it's kind of like, you know
It's no different than an nft. Once somebody sells something
They don't technically give a fuck if you got ripped off buying one that's damaged or buying one. That's this
They only care about how people feel about fakes
I think the strongest point going forward is going to be d ids, you know
And being able to prove that you have and hold verified credentials without having to actually give up who you are or release any sort of
Identifying information, you know, that's going to be the powerhouse play where blockchain really shines in authentication
You're not going to have to give up any use like I got friends who won't use an I pass right now
Even though their license plates are tracked by camera because they think the cops are going to follow
Yeah. Yeah, so like with d ids, you know, not not digital ids, right?
They're digit or decentralized identifying documents, you know, and essentially all it is is it's abstracted information across
You know, it's encrypted across the chain so that you have now essentially you can just show that you own
A verified credential from whoever issued it to you
You never have to actually but then your insurance but then your insurance company's not going to take anonymous holdings
They don't have to because like essentially they can prove through the the issuer of that verified credential that you are you say you are
Whether you hold what you say you hold
It's got to be shipped versus like a follow along like the things that come along with it
Like the using an nft as a certificate to match an item
that makes less sense to me than
Something that's embedded and that's why I still always say you can't go retroactive on all this
But if the future is that everything has that and the ability to do that
You're still going to have, you know, 50 plus of the people that aren't going to go and make that interaction
They're just going to have their item like you send me a pair of shoes and i'm putting them on my feet. I don't need
To necessarily prove that and like the masses don't it's for that limited one percent niche of the world
Yeah, it's gonna be more so for like, you know documentation, you know, like teaching credentials and driver's licenses and
You know a diploma from wherever or a certificate from wherever, you know
Proving that you hold those and you have those without having to necessarily give out who you are
It's just going to take longer
But like, you know, whatever we want to use a deed to a car all the way down to a certificate to whatever you want
Like a verified way for that on a digital id
Sure, but we're not talking about selling anything. We're just talking about proving
Stuff that I mean, it's you know, same way
I mean the post office and the dmv haven't fucking advanced in 40 years because they don't need to
But it's the other people that are going to have to fund it to make their lives easier for everybody to do it
Yeah, it's ultimately has to be mass adoption that's the reason why dmvs and medical industry is the greatest example, you know
It's like retroactively trying to integrate this stuff into the legacy systems in place across
Every single minute difference between kaiser permanente and etna and you know
They all have their own little bullshit things
You know and trying to create and unify a system like that is I mean good luck
You know, I think maybe one day we'll get there, but I don't see it like on the immediate horizon anytime
It's not on the roadmap for sure
I'm pretty happy. We don't have it because I don't want everybody to be able to look up that I didn't finish high school
I'd rather just lie to people
You guys are funny. I'm glad Chicago's here having the combo out loud
We're gonna we're gonna as a community. We are going to
Make sure that this man doesn't miss the wave. This is uh, this is that's what we're gonna do. He fades everything
He thinks everything is illegal for good reasons
I don't fade everything. I make plenty of bad decisions
You know, we need you to poke holes bro. That's like as devs
This is why i'll never get hired as a consultant
You'll never see me on a fucking council because the only people that fucking want somebody to tear their product apart
Are usually their enemies?
It's like the coke and pepsi fucking blind taste test. They only fucking use the edited versions that show their narrative
I don't know talking with you has saved me a lot of time
Like the times we talk it saves me a lot of time
Like you cut a part of a plan the right way with like practical knowledge, right?
And so the most uh technical person needs practical knowledge to be able to sort out the actual problem in the solution, right?
So it's like yeah, we need that
That's the same thing with artists artists and artists and business people in this space
You know, it's the same reason everybody's got debt for columbia fucking art school and nobody knows how to turn it into a fucking business
You give people your truth is what's important. That's like, you know, a lot of people when they give feedback is not their fucking truth
So they're just like regurgitating some shit that doesn't actually help anybody
You were looking for time saving scott's looking for time saving when i'm sitting here fucking calling out a fucking plan and calling it fucking stupid
You know like whether or not i'm right or wrong. I'm the first person to say sorry when i'm wrong
Like there's no argument with that
Like if all of a sudden scott fucking told me a year and a half ago music nfts at a wave and I said it's fucking
Stupid and it worked like all right, bro. I'm gonna be the first person to say I was wrong
It's kind of like punchy penguins
I didn't see him being here. I'm wrong. It doesn't mean I never disliked it or liked it from the beginning
I just gave honest opinions. So I didn't think it would get to this level in this amount of work
All right guys, hold on so we got a special guest here
Who bring them out bring them out bring them out bring them out
It's hard to yell when the bat rails in your mouth
All right, first of all what a show's been really good. I love the conversation
If you guys haven't already get into discord link in bio, uh, we do have
The boy poppy in the house. It's uh, it's been busy. He's been packed out. I know you're busy
I know you got it a lot going on. So I appreciate the time
Um, so i've known known this individual for about 10 years now. It's kind of wild
We've been through all types of things and industries and I think one big major correlation
We both agree with is the importance of of community
For as long as I go back. I I remember myself building out communities as well as
As poppy here and uh, he he was able to translate that beautifully here in web 3 in my opinion and come in and
Sell something launch something as easily as he could have with the amount of liquidity he has and the abilities and resources
He has he went another route, right?
He you know, he decided to stamp and work with a a community already in web 3 that's already established
As we all know the quirkies. I remember back in the day way before this happened
Uh on scott's old show we uh, you know
We pumped the quirkies and we brought some liquidity to that train. It was fun. It was fun times. Um,
I I had purchased a quirky for like 0.2. I remember it was great
Uh ended a nice little, you know, nice flip. It was awesome. Shout out to the quirky community
But besides the flipping that's not the best part. The best part I think was I saw
Consistent they were and they're still consistent and there's a lot of enhancements and I see a lot of changes and
The ceo sin seems to be having his figure on the polls
Or at least working with the right people that do and I respect that and I think that's great
Um, and so we got poppy here to kind of give a little bit of his background and give his insight on uh,
What's going on at quirkies and first of all?
Thank you, man. I appreciate you. What's going on? How you doing? It was good. It was good. Well much love chinese. Uh,
Pretty cool. I I remember
Uh, i've known chinese. Yeah, like you said it's it's really 10 years. I believe this year
Uh, which is actually no now a little bit over. So, uh, we're closer to 11 then then 10
Um, but it was funny. We were on a space one time
When there was some stuff going down with with bordie beow club you hosted a really really big space
It was like I remember there's just thousands of people on it was when the uh rider
Uh with the whole riders. Oh, yeah
It was funny because we're on the space and and like to be honest
I didn't connect the dots
Like I always knew you as prophets and I never clicked the profile and you're like, oh, yeah
You know like we come from the same and I clicked it i'm like yo chinese. What?
It's pretty funny. So, um, you know, anyway, it's been it's been amazing because you've been
A really good support of my journey and i'm very grateful. It was dope to hang out with you and
scott I was pumped because I didn't think i'd be able to make art basil and uh
We were flying out of miami the next day and it worked out
so I got to go over there and support what you're doing and
And uh got to got to depth up scott the man
Uh, somebody defamed his penguin. It was pretty rude, but uh now he's back full docs. We cleaned it up
It was funny but uh, but anyway not a lot of great things came from that event, you know as uh
I was only there for the one day, but I linked up with several people that
You know made a made a significant difference. So
And uh now i'm happy to be here happy to be building. I think you know this space we we
Listen, first off. I want to say like sawl and will's i've never interacted with you guys
But uh, obviously i've crossed paths with chicago along the way and hearing the three of you go through also, uh
Like hearing you guys talk about the chips. I was gonna sit back and just listen personally
I was about to text you chinese like nah, let them keep going because
It's a new world to me and um
We are doing some stuff with nfc chips
It's more data driven. So I I agreed with a lot of what
Mainly chicago was happening on because I think some like people over
They overhype what the technology can be but I also do think it's significant, right?
and and you guys highlighted some things that I didn't even think about so a great conversation and um
Any anytime you guys are talking chips i'm down because I want to I want to use the tech in the right way
I believe you know, we'll get into some quirky stuff and what we're what we're really looking to accomplish. Um
But but anyway, I just wanted to give you guys some
Some love for that because nobody's really talking about it and we just implemented our first
Uh, you know chip collection last week
Some exclusive stuff we sold out in in an hour and we're going to be doing drops pretty much every month of the different skews
We want to use that data to
Reward the holders and just to do some unique things for people that are you know collecting our stuff. So anyway, uh good stuff and
Chicago i'm not scared of the uh
Your your brain, bro. You know, you know, you don't intimidate me. It's it's I think you you move in a way. That's very uh
Uh detail oriented and you know, sometimes people need to hear the truth
So I might come to you for some for some of that, uh for some advice along the way
But anyway profit listen, and i'll say this bro your quirky stuff
It's moving in the right direction
The reason I gave you guys so much shit is because you leached on to those fucking turds at alien friends to get fucking
Moving at the beginning and that whole flood the fucking timeline raid bullshit that you guys were all
Interchanging like once the dust settled you guys had a chance
But as long as you guys played it in like that little realm of fuckery
Like you're not pretty funny though. I wasn't even a part of quirks at that point in time
I didn't know what an alien friend was till a few months in so I don't
There was a lot of crossover in the beginning
It was just this fucking white list and raid everybody and then watching people swap back and forth and the same fucking, you know bullshit like that
That was the downfall. It was built off of bullshit
It corrected itself and then somebody had a chance to take off with it and like whatever you want to call it
Like I don't have any like negatives to quirkies, even though I never bought one
But it's just one of those where the kindergarten years were tarnished
I appreciate that bro. Well, yeah, we're you know, i'm sure profits we're gonna get into it
but I think there's uh, there was an opportunity I saw it and uh,
No, my goal is to do the right things and and kind of lead by example in this space because it doesn't happen
Very, you know, so appreciate that
If you get if you get it even a neutral endorsement from chicago, i'm taking that all day. So appreciate you, bro
But profits was good. Thanks for having me on seriously
It's uh, usually you do the spaces and I would come every day seriously to support you guys
it's this is the hardest time because
You're way better. Yeah. All right. I'm in my i'm in my office. So i'm like literally on i'm like i'm
A foot from the router. So we should be good
No, absolutely. Absolutely. I want to know why quirkies like there's thousands of communities out there
What what made you choose them? What made you put the lure that the poppy sauce over there pause?
Of five or six things that all that were all equally as important to me
Um, number one the streetwear action sports slash graffiti part of it. Uh, my cousin
Now he's a little bit older than me. He's probably like
He was a teenager when I was a baby put it that way
Uh, he's a a known artist in in
New york, uh, he's worked with some
He did some stuff for you know album covers, but for the most part he's looking for the next
You know, I didn't appreciate it as much when I was a kid, but like I got a little bit older
Uh seeing you know the work that he did he did a ralph's Italian ice if any of you have ever the
Staten island there's a ralph's Italian ice. He did that mural. It's like pretty well known for new yorkers and
He was just kind of explained to me how that worked and
Saw him doing skate decks. So like that that like streetwear
Skateboard, you know type of vibe was what attracted me to quirkis in the first place because I always loved playing tony hawk pro skater
um, and so I thought that
In web 3 people want a digital identity that connects them to something and quirky's always
Weird and sometimes we're not like embracing those things
Um, but but with quirks the art and the culture that was the root. That was the root of the whole thing
And then obviously, you know skateboarding
traits surfing traits and
hiking and many other things and
I always admired uh, I have you know plenty of supreme stuff as well. And so it just made sense. Uh, the second thing was
If you look at data and analytics the last two years we've flushed a lot of
You know people out of the project that were you know, really just there for money
And there's a lot of there's a lot of people and that hold you know, one quirk five quirks or
A hundred two hundred that I mean go look at the blockchain. It doesn't lie
We just ran from point four to one point eight
And none of those wallets moved and I mean these are people that I built great genuine friendships with they're not holding
For me, they're holding us
And so I think easy for me bet something that I didn't do
I didn't want to jump into that
Every time I create a random wallet comes out of nowhere and starts dumping because they're just paying for the quitting
This is a much different situation. So the community was easy to bet on
And honestly the the move going to the team has only made people more bullish, which i'm extremely humbled and grateful for
Um, but it just makes me like it drives me to actually deliver real real shit because
I can't let these people down, right?
So like that's been a huge driving motivational factor and you know, chinese, you know how I roll I I
I I kind of like my back against the wall. I kind of like being
Oh, i've turned i've turned you know, even a really shitty
Maybe turn it on and off. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on the wi-fi button, but I I got most of it
But I definitely wanted to just make sure you're not overpaying for your inner. Hold on
Hold on. Oh, tell me that's better. I switched to the actual mode
All right, I switched to the actual
I'll be calling. We're so happy that he's not the only one now. It's great
Will we just be friends brother whatever you threw I got you bro. I got you
Um, but yeah, I know the core thing was the community and no, yeah, you're way better. Thank you. All right
Good. Good. Good. All right, so
Also in this big clean name outside of a small group of people
Most people don't know what what it is. Most people don't really know what it's about
Um, and I like that because it's not like I had to go pick up a dead project off the ground
That has pissed off holders and this terrible like dying reputation to be honest
Uh yesterday a big reason why we had a run was a lot of old holders came back and were excited
So that's exactly what I was going for right? I wanted I wanted to make this move because I felt like
It still had a good rep and then you know, look i've been building here. I've never taken a dollar
I've used all my own money to to make moves and
I'm, not taking a salary. We're actually, uh, a hundred percent of the royalties that we bring in we're putting back into the project
And I felt really interested in creating something especially in ETH
But I think we could probably say across most NFP PFP projects because they're getting a bad reputation
Um, or people are still pretty skeptical because
You know what we're going to probably have to do
When they need more and then the delivery hasn't been great across the board
And I just felt that there was an opportunity to change that last piece is IP
Um, I genuinely think that this is one of the only dynamic IPs that can go
Uh, we're working right now getting some of the stuff. We're working on
We dropped today actually pretty excited about it. Um, we dropped today, uh in a teaser
But it's really just the graphic layout of an energy drink that we're doing
Um, it'll be a little bit different than what's on the label that that's just a mock-up
But we wanted to get the art out there in the announcement because we're getting ready to actually launch
You know, we're we're we're also going to work on some stuff for
Gamers, we're working on stuff for adults, you know, we have a lot of collectors that are parents or you know
30 40 50 year old guys who love collecting and and women too men and women
So I think it's very dynamic in the demographics. We can reach it's not a one-dimensional thing
and not a shot at any project, but a lot of
They say your vibe attracts your tribe a lot of projects. I don't go to these events really to be honest like I think
beat basil is one of the only nft events i've gone to because I just don't feel like going to another frat party or
Circle jerk to be to be honest. So we want to do things a little bit different i'm just being real
Yeah, well said man, I resonate with that a million percent this is uh
Absolutely standing on this one of the most diverse communities within this whole cult, right?
Within the web3 cult we're already
Kind of like unfortunately a little segregated until we get better at onboarding
But you know, i'm never never gonna feel like i'm gonna just just and I know I ripped my mutant, right?
And that's I love my mutant. I love my apes. I love the community there, too
Um, but never ever looking to be only specific to one community and I know
you know people get finessed and uh, they think
Certain people are in your community or they want to be a part of it because they bought it and all that weird shit
But no, I genuinely there's a lot i'm involved in bro. I go to azuki events. I flew to an azuki
I don't have an azuki like I I I like being involved, right? I like being involved in and everything
Seeing what everybody's up to
Um, thank you for uh for sharing and I think um
They did a great job and made a great decision having you on on the team. That's uh, that's super bullish
So excited for the future. Very proud
I I appreciate you. I actually just realized it's seven o'clock already. I have a call the guy called me three times. Um,
No, you're good. I figured I appreciate you. This was I appreciate you. We we we will chat and um,
I know we're actually you're opening doors for me and i'm i'm extremely grateful. So
You know, it's really just the beginning and and look if you know, nothing about quirkies
I'm not going to tell you to jump in or whatever
We're doing that's what i've been encouraging people
I've been jumping on a lot of spaces and encouraging people to just just watch what we're doing
I want to earn people's respect because I think
Part of the issue is when people buy things and they don't really necessarily know the vision or they don't feel comfortable
They end up they end up letting that asset go
Um, and I don't I don't really
Wake up in the morning go let's pump the floor
I wake up in the morning and like how can I onboard new people from web 2 and web 3 that's my ultimate goal
Um, and I think some of the things we're doing
Like uh the game that we're going to be a part of
Everybody talks about web 3 gaming and and I think it gets overused quite a bit
I'm very happy and excited about what we're doing and I hope
Within the next 30 days we can make that announcement and show people because it is also going to bring back a little nostalgia
So anyway, let me run. Um, this is a pretty important meeting, but yo Shanice Scott, uh, everybody up here
Uh tons of love and gratitude. Thank you guys. I will be back
Um, and i'll be in touch with you Shanice if we're doing like a big announcement. I would love to do it in tandem with
Anyway, if anybody has any questions, my my dms are open. Uh, that's the other thing
I think we communicate better than everybody and that's my goal as good as as good as anybody
I should say not better but as good as anybody in the space
I want to be reachable and accessible. So
Big love man. I appreciate you
707 heroes on the stage. Chicago is here. Chicago before I ask you this question and don't run away
Don't run away and I'd even prep you. I didn't even text you and prep you don't fucking run away
But before I go there we'll be back after these fucking messages
It's insane because the first year of people discovering it their scamiest friend made
$83,000 selling a penguin with a penis in its eye
That yo Gary called the penguins going to $83,000 people don't get it. They're right
It's the same reason people didn't get the internet in 99
You have normal people saying how the hell is peps.com worth 85 billion dollars
They haven't sold any stuff yet
How the fuck are y'all talking about media?
So like with 400 how the fuck are you talking about onboarding people with 300?
Scott's youtube channel has more subscribers than anyway
Let's see if we can onboard
Right now right now into rwa scott
So all in scott both. No, i'm not opposed to this. I think it's a good industry
It doesn't mean that it's going to make everybody money
But like the concept of it being something that's filling a need
I'm with you like music nfts. I was off right before it started
Why do we have to keep making that the ass of the joke fuck music nfts?
Owning a warehousing company and fucking the robotics that go inside of it
Neither of them are ever going to be in my future, but it doesn't mean that i'm not still cool with learning how to
And he's like man bro, what's this pink shit you talking about he's like, you know what's crazy
That's because it's all brought it up
And chicago keeps it 100 and we're all friends he didn't say it was saw
I get on the phone with saw and saw goes bro
I was just on the phone with chicago for hours trying to tell him about peak and I was like it was you motherfucker
I was like, I should have known but this is what I love all y'all bro
All right. First up. First up. I told you it was saw and then you said oh that oh, I thought saw told me bro
I don't want to kill your story or anything, but you got too high that day. I definitely told you it was well
I think that's maybe I think that's maybe how I open the conversation. Well, well if people are getting deep end research
You know, no, like I love scott because scott's not afraid to like seek out new information
And that's where the gold's at man. You gotta break new ground to find that gold
She just ain't sitting in the river like it used to, you know, you gotta we gotta get it
Whatever happened to that fucking nft project with the chick and the dude who were gonna make a bunch of toys and I got a bunch
Of these turds in my wallet
They are they do go buy planosaurs. They just made the fucking toy
I can't I don't want to I don't want to buy a toy. That's fucking more expensive than a fucking jpeg
Just sounds fucking kind of weird. I kind of was just waiting to see what they were gonna do before I sent them to a burn wallet for tag
I'm trying to onboard chicago into rwa's man
Onboarded doesn't mean I gotta fucking invest but I don't mind talking about it. Like it's actually something with that's not on board
I mean saw might have been the fucking nah scott probably gets first fucking first mover rights here on fucking
The rwa conversation then saw fucking decided to like
Take it to like sophomore year and now i'm just not sure if I want to graduate high school
No, this bitch ass motherfucker wasn't slander and klanosaurs or was I hearing incorrectly?
What fuck is a klanosaur did I did I hear to play dinosaur slander in my motherfucking ears in a twitter space
Bro, you don't even own the nft
Bro, this is the thing like this is why the clomes are always cussing you out
Because when I see it, I fucking say with my chest
Yeah, the clothes dropped the ball. Did I not just come up here and say with my chest curl? What the fuck?
You don't even own a claim store. I'm not saying it with your chest, bro
About super cute and I told them they make that's what it was called and they make they made the klanosaurs plus she
That's what you heard. Okay
I'm around that's their company now, chicago
What was that old school tv show with like the dinosaurs and like the baby dinosaur?
Yeah, is that what was it called though? Not this dinosaurs
Yeah, jim hansen's dinosaurs. Yeah. Yeah, that still is the coolest dinosaur. I just got an echo figure, bro. Let's go
Are they dropping chris hansen dinosaurs? Well, what was that?
The goat. Oh man, not ryan karson, bro. That guy ever comes back
Somebody's to be fair. I've only seen him be a fucking rapey around fucking adult women
I haven't really seen him go into the underage group yet
I love the trigger words that can just like clear a room. No
I mean the clay that the klanosauruses are cute and I got a shirt from what from nftnyc
They're all right. They're cool. I still haven't bought a salon nft yet
I got a free monkey from my phone and I sold it, but i've never bought one yet
See already for some for some emies
Prophets you've got to go about take some emies or what?
I'm on salona right now though with the deepens for the video card. Um
Compute power i'm i'm kind of vibing that out
Because it's like I got all these video cards too from when I used to mine ethereum
Now I can actually put them into use and uh, get a little bit of capital back because you know
You always think that you're gonna be able to put this shit on fucking like
Craig's list or kadiji, but ain't nobody buying this shit, bro
I've had my ebay listings for like eight months. Nobody wants them
I'm, so bullish on that shit, especially what you guys are doing kuro like this shit's next level, bro
Like and make it easy, right any gamer is gonna be like well
Most gamers are gonna be they got the most gpu for for available, right?
Who's not gonna want to touch one little fucking click of something and fucking
You know all of a sudden you're you're getting rewarded for shit
That's just sitting there stagnant or you're getting paid for data that you get for free to google
Fucking everybody else and their mom and you never had a fucking problem with it
Now fuck that i'm putting this damn airplane antenna up with bread and saw and sam, man
And we fucking are getting the radium pay 200 million dollars for flight data
That's one fucking company like in a year. So like no, I I need mine
No, I'm not like that's why i'm so on this deep end shit. It's literally using resources
That you already fucking had like literally and sam, man brought up the dopest point where he said, uh
What uh is the easiest way for company to monetize on on the data that that's out there
Like it's so low lift for a regular company to to do it as well
so like i'm just so fucking bullish on on all of it the the rewards the technology and
Dude, like I said, you could be a garbage man. You could be
Fucking into drones you could be a miner like not a miner who mines like crypto a fucking miner in a fucking cave
Like they're smart mining now, like there's a fucking place for you in this motherfucker. So yeah extra resources and now
Dad uncle auntie could actually fucking have a good idea
Could you ask what the fuck problem of their sector is?
They tell you the nephew or the niece and then you guys come up with the fucking solution
So i'm here for it. I think dude. I got an idea
So you steal a Cadillac converter and then you take a helium mobile phone and you glue it to the bottom of the car
And now you're up like 1500 to cover the startup costs
And you're printing every day in coins
But you need the flux couple you need the flux flux capacitors. No, it's all it's got to solve your problem
You want you wanted to give homeless people phones who will never hold them and they only go two to five miles a day
But if we get the postal service and then we steal the catalytic converters
And you get all the routes you've pretty much just mapped the whole zip code
You start shipping catalytic converters for for uh, for information and making it to these different hats and scott's
Put the IOTs on the big old tortoises the ones that walk like a mile a day
We have them over there map map map and shit out, bro
You just need to find expensive. You can actually fit them with a solar panel too because they got enough light
Man all the people will be at my fucking facility like
scott's that's why I didn't do the turtle racing, you know all the people that do the turtle racing
Out and someone's on tiktok saying bro. What if you didn't do hamsters you put the turtles there?
I'm like, oh nah, bro. They'd be at the they'd be at the doorstep. Like what the fuck?
But scott I called I called al I was like I was like, uh, you know office helium mobile shit
I was like, so what if we just like did the obama phone again?
And like just gave gave out a hundred thousand phones to different, you know homeless people
Yeah, we we ran through the metrics. He made some very strong points. It may be like yeah
The $500 investment will get left left at the fucking needle drop off and then it'll be like a whole
Yeah, a whole head exactly like i'm gonna text you something too. It's those codes. I promised you for your community
Oh shit, I might know I might know what else man
I heard my name. I don't know. Did you sell the d-god yet?
What's that never man? What the fuck you talking about?
I don't sell d-gods. I only buy when he gets mad scott
No, uh scott even superman has a kink in his armor
I got a I got a d-god's joke. I got a joke. So what is a d-god drink if he lost his shoes?
I was getting a body right actually
We're just you know, we're just a bunch of frat boys. That's all that's my d-god's dad joke for the day
But I will tell you though i'll blast off on a rookie. So I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't like fade. So anyways
Um data is the most valuable resource on the planet and it's infinite
So to me it is going to create like the biggest value creation flywheel in the next 20 years ever
Um, and yeah, I mean there's a lot of different use cases to deepen
It doesn't mean that retail consumers like chicago have to give a fuck. It doesn't mean that somebody doesn't give a fuck
And um, it is like really the only thing that really creates value in this planet anymore, right?
It's more valuable than bitcoin. It's more valuable than gold. It's more valuable than anything. So
uh own and control and essentially
Monetize your own information is going to be the next vector. Like there's just no doubt about it. You can't stop it
It's just reality. It's like the biggest, you know pimp game that's ever been done on society
By us just giving our financial information our pii or health care information, you know our dna information 23 and me etc
We literally give this shit away for free. In fact, we pay to give it to them
And they turn around and make billions on it. So
That will be the change right?
And so there's going to be a lot of different use cases mapping weather location data, whatever it is
And a lot of these things these deep in technologies
You just have to keep in mind that there's a large value flywheel that's happening like throughout a supply chain
And it doesn't necessarily have to always be about what the consumer, you know
Wants or needs many times the consumers don't know what they want right until it shows up
So just because it's not relevant today to you know, a traditional front end kind of experience
Doesn't mean that it's not like equally valuable or important to somebody like within that flywheel
So these are just things like I guess high level topics
But if you just think about the internet today
You're pulling information down
And the next like change in my view is going to be more about how you push information up, right?
So all that data it's not about like anything other than who owns it who has custody of it
And where the source is right and the source should be from us not the other way around
So I think those are going to be the changes. Hopefully that happens
Oh same man, you're cooking bro, and that's why i'm so bullish like pass me the motherfucking shoe. Let's go
No, the other example was demo, right?
Like when you go to get your car fixed at the toyota dealership act whatever whatever kind of car you got
They're gonna plug that motherfucker in all that data from your car
You didn't even know there was some data from your car coming out
You probably brain didn't even think about it like my brain never thought about it
Now demo I can push that fucking thing in my car
And now all the demo is going to use the information in my car that was never getting rewarded for fucking anyway
And now being rewarded for so that that's what I mean by like what kiero's company's doing
And and and a lot of these like extra resources shout out to get grass like what I hit one button
And and use my extra internet date internet bandwidth through my browser
Like what bro like like who who's not gonna want to do that like even my sister was like wait
What like and she doesn't know shit about crypto web 3 nothing
But obviously i'm a walker when it's time to you know
I'm not gonna say it's gonna switch to a token, but I don't know what these points are about
But uh same thing like why I was so bullish on parcel. I'm not in real estate at all zero
I don't know shit about it. That's uncle food's like lane
But now i'm over here asking will
What kind of city indexes should I be speculating on like yeah?
I'm gonna I don't believe in the san francisco housing market right now. It's my area
I'm gonna fucking bet against it like these are things
I never would get a chance to even be a part of and just like uh
The other one uh these uh, I don't want to
Shill no way i'm just gonna just say what they do a lot of these rwa platforms that have like a physical asset and not a collectible like
uh, one of them had a four apartment fucking building in australia, you know that they were getting an lp4 and like
being hero of gonda college both colleges if you get my drift and
Motherfuckers ain't gonna fucking invest in us unless you got like 200 racks cash
Like literally in the account
I could just send over to unc to like buy some of these this real estate shit or at least be a part of it
In an investment. It's never gonna happen
But now I fucking literally just sign into my wallet
And I go yo kiero. You got a hundred bucks. I got a hundred bucks
Apr on this rwa fucking whatever that that asset is and we just have fun with it
And then some of them like rewards you like their own token that you can switch for eth real quick
You know what I mean? So there's just so many opportunities that like a lot of us didn't have in different sectors
You know, especially me i'm from music. I draw shit and I
Play fucking music like I didn't have very many opportunities outside of that sector
I'm just being honest and now like I love you motherfuckers like pancakes all these people be like yo, bro
You see this shit yet kiero. You see what my job is doing, you know, like bread got some fucking shit
Saul always got some fucking wild shit. It is that pocket
And it makes it it motivates everybody else to find something like even sam man the other day say hey bro
I got I just found something
So like yeah, like that's what motivates me about all this
All this new shit, like you don't gotta be a masterful trader
I guess will be my end my any part of it. You just gotta know like yo, I believe in this company
I got a few extra dollars. I believe in these partnerships. I'm gonna fucking provide some liquidity
Like I know they're not gonna run off all my shit. They're fucking partnered with x company
So yeah, man, like shout out to will uh, because I didn't I didn't even know I could do any of this shit
I was always the scared scared guy, but now i'm not gonna miss this fucking bus
You can't cover this shit every day that you're interested in and then not partake, right?
So definitely not doing it this round
But I want to challenge everybody to take two hours of your day every day
And like learn something that you think it might be it might be out of your wheelhouse or above your head
You know like practice like making your brain struggle a little bit with information because that shit like will actually give you the insight to make
Clever plays that you wouldn't have made had you not dug into the docks or dug into the information under the hood and you know
There's a lot of angles right now to play. So it's like picking your poison. It's like one of the hardest things
It's like when I go to the candy, I all right scott and I want I know I want rices
But they got 27 different fucking types of rices. They're all probably pretty fucking good
It's not a life-changing decision, right?
But you know, you got to pick you know, once you pick, you know, you're gonna eat that
So like I feel like you know having better knowledge on what you know
The ingredients and the things we're creating here are you know
The the better you'll be able to pick when you see a set of ingredients like nah
That doesn't add up because I know this information that I found out in this document over here
And these guys are selling vaporware and like you won't be able to see that type of shit on your own without
Actually, you know doing some research on like the more finer not only like not just like the ingredients pro
but like the the level of importance for those ingredients like I I think the thing that I
Loved hearing the most was what bread was talking about with zero knowledge proofs
Like if you want to talk about data
But data only matters if you can attribute it and identify it to a single thing, right? Whether that's a thing a person a place
Etc. And so data monetization can't happen without identity
And so I always like to think about this is just the way I think about things is like what are the
Like ball bearings to this right? Like what are the the basic like very primitive things that are needed for this to work
And that need to be used for everything like for 100 percent of what we're talking about here
quite simply put you have to be able to like
digitally identify something and in this day and age, we want to be able to identify something anonymously so
Zero knowledge proofs essentially allow you to do that where I can say yeah
This is bread even though I don't have to show a picture of his jpeg that proves it
Right and that's essentially what zero knowledge proofs are
And identity is going to be a huge huge component because everything else attributes essentially your primary key, right?
so everything else that we're talking about here has to like
Attach on to something so that you know, you can essentially have any kind of monetization flywheel here
So yeah, it all rests on access control, right bread
Well, I mean ultimately it's like data by itself like you as a single individual
Like if you took all of the data you had that's available like not like yeah
I mean your social security number you could probably sell for like some good money, right?
But like your actual data is worth pennies on the dollar
Like the data that companies want is only valuable if it's been aggregated and it's a lot of data
You know, and so it's like by aggregating that data
Through anonymizing it you can now put it into buckets, you know where it's like
Why are these certain people doing this, you know versus, you know, why are they buying coke versus pepsi?
You know, and it's like well
You can now take this data and you don't really need to know exactly who that person is
To still identify like what are the other things that they're doing? What are the other shit that they're buying?
What is it because they're just a number, you know, and that's still valuable data to have for like marketing, you know
And I think that another misnomer that a lot of people do is the monetization of data doesn't have to just be
Financial, you know, I mean there's a lot of monetization in affiliate marketing and cross marketing and you know
It's like hey for every 10 starbucks drinks that you buy you get a stamp that gets you 10 off at the nike store
You know, it's like that's monetization of data, you know
Because you're actually being able to have some sort of financial incentive
To provide your data to x number of companies, you know
But again, like with sandman was saying that power is the fact that's like, yeah, i'm giving you my data
But i'm not telling you who I am
What my gender is what my age is what my location is i'm not giving you any of that. I'm just telling you that
Exactly. That's why I switched my whole you saw bread
Like I switched my whole my whole focus into like deep brand cryptography and zero knowledge because like ultimately
This is going to be like one of the glues that that protects our kids and all of our private information from you know
Certain attacks that you know, everybody's prepping for so it's like, you know knowing that it's like I think like
Like helping the consumer for me understand. I want to help the consumer understand better what these things are
So they're not scared of them when they're presenting because I think a lot of people like
When it's presented in the current state that zero knowledge is in it's like
Over the top like it blows people's brains like okay. I don't understand that like, how does that work?
And then they have 70 questions where they use similar cryptography right now
That isn't as strong it isn't as obfuscated and you know
And and they don't question that so it's like I I feel like there's got to be like a time where people understand like
That all of the world that they know today rests on cryptography methods
Right. Yeah, it's like your zero proofs are just your access point, you know, it's like all that data and whatnot
That's still a di d url, you know and di glues have been around forever
Ever, you know, because there's it's just some database encryption type stuff, you know, I mean like it's really not
I mean, it's not easy, but it's not like the craziest thing in the world, you know and by assigning those to wallets or even
Ens names or you know solana names or whatever your actual digital id is
By assigning it in its data
Document now it's like cool. You can pick and choose what information you give to whoever is asking it down to like
You know the tiniest little degree, you know, and that's how you remain anonymous in a decentralized world
Like in the world of like deepfakes and you know an automated like like scraping of data, you know
By all these different companies, you know, like nefarious actors all kinds of different things
It's like we definitely need to acknowledge that like without these types of movements
Like all of these things can break
And create like a very unsafe world where like I don't want to live on the internet in that world
We're like cryptography isn't a fucking thing. And so we'll talk crypto
I'm like, so what crypto we're gonna talk we're talking about cryptocurrency or cryptography because I think like
At the lower end of everything we do in this world of crypto
Of you know blockchain like rest these hashes that like kind of hold everything together
And I like to give them their daily respects because without them we all fall apart
And and it might seem like over the top to a lot of people but
Like and to like when you start reading into it
Like it gets really interesting
I would encourage like people to kind of like scratch their head a little bit
And try to understand it because that's like where the door starts to open you go
This is why they take so long to roll out systems on some level is like you got to ensure that some of these
Things can't be broken in the worst case scenario
You know, I mean the way to simplify it is in cryptography really is the language so
That's kind of how things communicate with each other
So to you don't have to get too heady or technical about it
Just to kind of understand the basic premise of and the real innovation of what's happening here, which is
I own and I choose and that's the same like
I guess ethos that we have in blockchain when it came down to making transactions and payments is I own my coins and I choose who
And so the next the next vector of that is definitely going to be the same thing, but like with your data
cryptography is just the way that we communicate with each other in these environments, but
In the div all these things that we're talking about. They all go together
In like a beautifully rolled chipotle burrito, right?
So like these are all the ingredients
Like you you have to have a sold-down token
You have to have a you know, one part of the blockchain has to do permission then you have you know
A zk roll up and you have a did that ties to it and then you know
And a side of ai just to dip it right and then the front end is all the ai shit
so like this all comes together in a beautiful like um kind of symphony and
Technology becomes art really quickly because it really comes down to like how you put these things together on the palette
It's not a product like blockchain isn't a product web 3 isn't a product web 5 isn't a product
They're all just tools. And so if you don't have a problem you're solving or a value proposition you're creating
Like it doesn't matter like business is still just business like you're either creating value or you're not
Kira had the most base take one day. I'll never forget it. He said it out loud
He goes web 3 is a javascript library
and I died laughing inside because it's just like
It's the facts and um, you know tool tooling is what brought us together whether we know it or not
Like if you're here for the money you can't the money came because of the tooling and like
You know from an engineer standpoint or a marketer standpoint, I think like you know
Like focusing on the selling the tooling and not the token attached to the tooling
I think is very important to kind of get back to
Because like the the real heads that have stuck around through all this bullshit. Yeah, we like making money
We like tokenizing things
But we also like the tooling and the idea that it could change and democratize a world that we don't currently control
Right. So I don't know. I mean the boring stuff always is worth the most amount of money at the end of the day
Make me some money sam, man
We're making money where we're making money what what what you're gonna sell your d god we're gonna make some money
I mean, I don't need to sell a d god to make money. So
I don't think I only I told you I only buy d gods to make money
You guys got to get that right? You got the wrong direction on it
Happy friday everybody appreciate you guys tuning in
We'll be back tomorrow with a special
Thank you for um, you know the love the engagement the reposting all that good stuff
Get in the discord tomorrow. We'll be live in there
We'll go over some charts. We'll go over some opportunities
Don't look for a fucking quick flip or some shit like that
This is just to break down some stuff and answer questions and be more interactive
So look out in there for the time on that but um
Yeah, the amazing space it has been thank you guys
Engage with your with your friends and your family can't you know text people let them know you're there you miss them
You love them care about them. You never know
uh, it's a wild world out there inflation is at an all-time high
And bozo ness is also at an all-time high. So, you know, you don't know what's going on out there. Chicago
Uh, i'm complaining about inflation. Uh, can't you tell?
Fucking groceries is just insane. Just one person. It's just insane. I can't believe it
Um, but no i'll see you guys tomorrow. I'll see you guys in the timeline stay tuned a lot of things coming
I'm not just saying that i'm not going to make anybody rich, but I definitely am we're about to shake some shit up
About that time baby. I'll see you guys soon. Peace
