going to talk about you know what we should all be doing to stay ahead okay a lot of times i feel
like people just burn through time because they're bored or they're looking for the next play or
whatever the fuck and then you're like letting all this time pass three three, four, five, six, ten months pass, and you're like, oh, shit.
I remember I was dicking around in this Twitter space.
I remember when Bitcoin was trading at consistently 65K plus a year ago,
a little over a year ago,
and right before it hit 100K for the first time.
And I remember people like oh it's not gonna pass
and then like six months later sick as fuck because they felt like they're priced out like
this is one of those times this is that time to be patient I tweeted it the other day this is
the time to be patient patience is the alpha um we're gonna get we're gonna get things rolling
in just a few minutes I have a few special special guests, like I mentioned, I know they're really busy.
So as soon as they're here, I'm going to get to it and get them, let them start cooking.
Cause I do appreciate and want to, you know, be mindful of everybody's time.
So, uh, yeah, we're about to start in about 29 seconds.
I need everybody to help me out by liking, commenting and reposting this space.
Okay.
I have not sold my soul.
I have not done anything weird.
I don't use bots or anything like that.
So guess what?
I need your help putting us in the algorithm, okay?
Most people will lie to you and they'll tell you, oh, you know, I don't really care.
But yes, you fucking do.
Why the fuck would you go live or speak or do anything on the internet and you don't care for engagement?
Yes, we want engagement. We want y'all to hear us.
So do your part. Thank you very much.
How about it start? Let's get it. You got exposed, you gotta go You grift around, you the clown, you the bozo
You should know, that we know We can see you demon, steady scheming on the low, low
They been grifting, shifting, on the low I'm switching wristbands to keep em out the
door It's very tender, that it's just a switch air, wristbands, keep them at the door.
And these crippers moving in swiftly, I could tell the scans running symphony,
spot them off top like a bimini.
If you got jokes, you want smoke, we could go, cause I'm something like a chimney.
I move differently, and that's love.
You listen to my inner need, and that's love.
Fuck anybody hindering, that's love
If I valued your opinion, then I'd probably let you know
But I don't, I'm doing whatever that I want
I live in discomfort, I'm right home
You could never throw me out of my zone
You got exposed, you gotta go
You gripped around, you's a clown, he's a bozo
You should know, that we know We can see you demons that he's scheming on the low, low
Baby, grifting, shifting, on the low I'm switching, rich bands, keep em out the dub
It's baritin, that that is just an obf, wristband to keep them at the door.
I see what they feed you.
Only difference between me and you is that I don't need you. I don't believe you, but I can see you.
The motor show behind your axis.
Can you see too?
Please do.
Can you chill out and learn how to be cool?
Cause we do.
What the hell are you trying to please do?
We do.
Think it's a shame to see you.
Think you part in the seas when you just part in the scene.
Well, my speaker died, so we're starting now.
Let's fucking go.
Hey, welcome to the show.
I appreciate everybody pulling up.
It is a beautiful Wednesday.
Let me send this out to a few more people.
One second.
Um, all right, let's go.
Welcome to Web3 Exposed.
You are now tuned in to the number one show on the internet, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Welcome in.
All right.
I think Trap is back.
Probably not.
Yes.
No, you're not.
I don't believe you.
I don't believe you.
All right.
I sent the co-host again just to make sure you're good.
Anyway, thank you guys for pulling up.
Happy Wednesday once again.
Do me a favor.
Like, comment, repost the space.
Secondly, I'm giving away $100 today.
And to qualify, you need to sign up to using my code PROFITS.
I'm going to go ahead and make it really easy for you, pin it to the top.
I will be checking throughout the show. I will send over the money during the show.
But in order to qualify, you need to like, comment, repost, and sign up. It literally takes two
fucking seconds. And hey, you may like something on the platform and you start using it. I'm not
even requiring you to use it. I'm just telling you to sign up. Anyway, we'll jump right into it.
There is a ton of things on the timeline that we can talk about that's irrelevant, but I'd rather talk about the relevant stuff, right? First off, I thought it was pretty funny, though,
how the entire timeline came together. Crypto Twitter, everybody hates each other. Everybody
came together to gang up on Nikita Beer, the head of product at X. Shout out to that guy. I actually met him once before through a friend. And so he was a good guy. He
was dope, dude. You know, really smart, really fucking smart. But yeah, I thought that was very
comical and I love the way he reacted and responded at the timeline. Looks like the algorithm is back.
No excuses, guys. Start fucking creating. creating start fucking posting um anyway so that
was funny that was that was very funny i do want to talk about everything that's going on on base
uh quick announcement as you guys know i'm on the team at bz and uh man we've been cooking for for a
couple of years now man and it's really nice to see all the growth all the users um but we are
officially launching on base tomorrow um you already know, tons of discounts, tons of fun stuff happening,
tons of cool things to look forward to.
Can't say too much, but it's going to be fun.
Definitely make sure you are ready for that.
There's going to be a lot of restocks already going on.
Probably not allowed to say that, but it is what it is.
Go fuck around. Go play the claw. Use my link in the bio.
Maybe get some good luck using my link, but shout out to the team over there cooking
very, very fucking hard, very proud to be on such a hardworking team and to continue,
you know, pushing RWAs forward.
Next up, we got, you know, this genius act being pushed a bit.
As you guys know, I am the Florida president for... I'm the chapter president for Stand With Crypto Via Florida.
And I'm not even going to act like I'm this high-level educated political person.
Because I'm not, obviously.
However, I'm very much so in the know.
And I think it's very important that we all are in the know, too.
So I made a tweet today.
I pinned it to the top so you guys can kind of check it out.
This has been going back and forth for a while.
And I think this is going to be the first time the Senate actually addresses this formally.
And I think we should all pay attention, right?
Basically, in short, to dumb it down, the banks are fighting right now to not allow us to get rewarded in stables.
As you guys know, you've got Coinbase platforms like Coinbase and others that have tried to offer rewards to users. Some have even been shut down
because this law has not been in the air, you know, very gray, not super black and white.
And so finally, once and for all, they want to fight for these rewards, right? They want us to,
I think we all should want to fight for this, right? This is a no brainer. But the thing is,
banks don't really like it because it looks like a savings account, right?
And so I won't get too into the technicals. I'll just put it to the top. You guys can check it out for yourself.
But this is a big couple of weeks coming up ahead, and I will be having another separate segment on this either later this week or sometime next week.
So stay in tune for that. But we're going to jump right into it.
I know I got Frankie and Trap here and a couple other people to talk about the markets and all
that good stuff. But I know Emily is a super busy MF-er, no pun intended. And I really love his
takes on everything going on in the base ecosystem. And I think he's not only super educated and
locked in on it, but just the way he's able to kind of explain things and make it really easily
digestible to understand, I think is huge. huge so without further ado i would love to pass it to
uh the good friend over here mr emily i think uh what you got going on is awesome please
introduce yourself share with everybody a quick intro before you jump into it and thank you again
for your time tonight hello what's up profits thanks for having me thanks for inviting me to come come talk i
didn't know that you were doing something on base uh tomorrow so that's cool to hear um yeah and we
and uh yeah i uh active participant in the in the crypto community and and i spent a lot of time on
base and i was attracted to
base pretty early on with what they were building with that network and have
watched that whole ecosystem can grow from zero to where it is now and a lot
of change there's a lot of cool stuff and I I look at the ecosystem I think
some of the some of the coolest things that are happening in crypto, many
of them largely undiscovered at this point are happening on base.
So yeah, I'm happy to hang out.
The goat right here.
When did you actually have a...
Actually, you know what?
I'm going to just jump into this first and then I'll ask you when you started in base.
But can you please tell me this whole thing with Grok having money and this specific coin?
I saw it launched last year in March or something like that.
Why this one out of all of them?
And then like, is it bullish or bearish that Grok has money?
So that's what everybody wants to talk about.
That's what everybody wants to talk about.
It's funny to me in many ways that it's really, I guess,
catching some attention right now.
The thing is about it is people pick up the story,
and some people like it and some people don't.
But it's actually a good question because I won't jump right into
how does Grok have money,
but to be able to get to that point, some other things need to be explained to understand the mechanics of how all this worked out.
And by explaining it, I think it'll shine a light on some of the,
really the coolest things happening in crypto.
So Grok on the ex- social feed prompted another AI agent. And I'll say right out on the
open, I mean, humans were trying to get Grok to interact with another AI user on X. And this other
AI user on X has the ability when prompted to autonomously immediately launch the requested coin by the prompter.
And that prompter could be Emily, it could be Profits,
it could be an AI user like Grok.
And the one thing is,
I don't come up with the name Grok created DRB
or Grok was the creator.
That was actually set by the protocol in 2024 clanker before grok even existed
as a user on x so um so that's where i want to go back to just quickly um so back in 2024
there were two ai users on uh on on farcaster that were invented and farcaster has really become this like playground for some really cool crypto innovations that have gotten bigger um you know after kind of
being on farcaster and then uh i was akin some of the stuff like banker and clanker in particular
it's almost like the beatles in the the book um it was was it um uh 10 000 hours uh or maybe it
was part of the Good to Great book.
But anyway, it was like 10,000 Hours.
I use the example of the Beatles.
By the time the Beatles came to the U.S., everyone was like, oh, my gosh, these guys are overnight stars, overnight sensations.
But the reality is that they'd spent 10,000 hours in Hamburg, Germany, playing, testing, working out their craft, and really becoming prepared to become a star.
And then when they stepped foot on U.S. soil, they were already ready to go because they put the work in.
So I'll go back to 2024.
The first thing I'll point out is Clanker.
Clanker was invented in 2024.
Basically, it was an autonomous token deployment bot any user could prompt at clanker
launch xyz coin with ticker xyz and include this image and instantly clanker would autonomously
launch that coin spin up a uniswap pool and immediately anyone can begin trading trading
there was no way to set up up any type of distributions or team ownership
or anything like that. It was just all the liquidity was put into the liquidity,
the pool on Uniswap E3 and a market was formed. So there's not a human in the world
that could have known that Grok's coin suggested creation would have launched until
Grok actually prompted Banker for that launch. So it doesn't matter. So anyway, that started in 2024.
Clanker is able to just autonomously launch tokens. I thought it was awesome, not because
it could autonomously launch tokens, but it was the first launch pad that looked to
solve like the incentive problem that we see and we saw this with a lot of like the celeb coins and
other coins where you know a creator the only way that they could monetize their creation is by
selling their token and and they're out you know promoting their token and then you know they want
to monetize and creators should monetize um but in doing so it would hurt you know the holders so and we saw this time and
time again um especially with you know control of lp where you're getting lp fees and then kind of
just dumping the coin as well but what clankers did was and this is 2024 so this is before your
pump funded creator awards or anything like that, which was, I think it's about seven or eight months after Clanker did it. But what it is,
if I'm the user that prompted Clanker to create a coin forever, as the user launching that coin,
I would get creator fees. And those creator fees are paid in both sides of the pair. So I would get,
fees are paid in both sides of the pair. So I would get, say if I launched XYZ coin,
I would get LPV fees from XYZ coin and I would also get ETH. So you get both sides of the
trading pair and this gets WETH, so wrapped ETH. And now what ends up happening is if my token's
trading, then it's doing volume and you get paid on volume, the fees, you're building ETH position and you're building, in this case, I'm using XYZ coin position.
So I'm growing the ownership stake in my creation, but then I could take the ETH and sell it.
And so I could monetize the creation as well while still increasing my ownership stake in what I created.
So that to me was just fascinating in 2024.
When I saw that happen, I'm like, oh my gosh,
this is like solving an incentive problem
that I viewed as a big problem.
And I didn't even understand how big the problem was
until I learned more about how Clanker worked.
And I'm like, okay, like I'm getting this a lot more now.
So I really liked it early on.
And then another AI agent, another AI user
was born and this was Banker. And this will all come together, but this is Banker. And so I'm
going to say this about Clanker. Clanker basically like they innovated. It was, I thought the way
that they set it up was a, it was a 100x improvement on Pump Fund at the time when Clanker launched.
I'm like, this is the way it should be.
I think it's the best agent in the world at launching tokens and aligning incentives.
Then Banker came around, and Banker, I think, is the best AI agent in the world at making on-chain transactions easy for users
I was like we've talked about forever in crypto and we want to make transactions simple
We don't want okay. We will eliminate approvals. You could just do one-click buys now you could
You will add will abstract away seed phrases and we just want to make transacting easy in crypto
Forever since I've been in crypto. That's people say wouldn to make transacting easy in crypto forever since of betting crypto that's people say wouldn't make transacting easy well
banker comes along and launched the AI agent where you could use plain English
and just type what you want to what you want to do buy me five dollars of XYZ
coin in plain English and enter in the in the transactions done but but bankers
did that on the social feed at first it was only available on the social feed so
I could create signal on the social feed by buying a coin.
I'm saying, buy me.
If someone posts a contract address, I could reply right under that.
Banker, buy me $5 of this.
Buy me $10 of this.
And it just does the transaction.
Bankers evolved into an insanely powerful agent now that doesn't just do buy and sell
transactions, but very advanced
limit orders, token analysis, portfolio analysis. I mean, it's just killer. But the killer thing
about Banker is when it came to X. And when Banker came to X, more people started to see what was
going on with this. And I think Banker is the greatest invention ever built on top of X and Twitter.
And Twitter came out in 2004, 2006.
So all those years, I think Banker is the greatest innovation that's ever been built on top of X.
Because here's why.
For the longest time on the internet, including Twitter X we had it did something really
well and that was giving us the ability to transfer information with a click of
a button across the entire world. Information is so easily accessible
because of tools like Twitter and X and we're able to transfer that information
amongst others but it was missing a key piece and that's transfer of value and
the internet for the longest time is missing a key piece, and that's transfer of value. And the internet,
for the longest time, is missing that piece as well. But on a platform like X, transferring value
was not there. It was only transfer information. And Banker introduced for the first time
ever on X, the ability to transfer value at the speed of information. And to me,
that's the greatest innovation that's ever been put on top of X. And if you fast forward to where we are today, X is going in that direction right now.
They're saying we're, you know, they're launching the smart cash tags.
Nikita made a post recently that said, you know, I'm allowing trading on the timeline,
like which we're already doing, but we kind of see where this is all going.
So, you know, X is no longer just transfer of information.
You get the transfer of value piece and money is attention.
So being able to transfer money or signal with value,
money is very, very powerful.
Just give an example.
You know, we, I mean, I sent six, seven days ago,
I sent Gary V $50 of DRB, the coin that Grok created with Banker.
And I sent it to him on the public social feed in reply to one of his comments about something.
And a day later, he came into a Grok Has Money X space that a friend of mine was hosting.
And, you know, we usually got like 20 people in our spaces.
We don't have like a ton of reach.
And Gary Vee comes in because he's,
she saw the title of his space, Grok has money.
Next thing you know, like 2000 people listened to the space
and heard the story about Grok has money.
And Gary thought it was cool because it is.
So signaling with value and money is like,
it adds a whole different layer.
And that's what Banker really brought to the table.
And now Banker, again, you can go into like a private terminal
and have private discussions if you don't,
and make transactions privately.
You could set all kinds of advanced orders and things like that.
So that's that.
You've got a token deployment agent.
You've got an agent that allows transaction on chain with plain English.
And then Banker built in the Clanker protocol to be able to launch coins.
Basically, you think of Banker like an interface that's using Clanker contracts on the X feed.
And this predates Grok existing as a user on X.
So Banker's out there on X and anyone could just tag banker, banker, launch me coin,
ticker, name, image, and now it's launched and it's public on the X social feed,
that timestamp of when it happened, et cetera.
So when Grok came out as a user on X, this is an AI user, it was on Eastern time.
It was late in the evening on March 6th.
And Grok was launched as a user.
And immediately, everyone that knew what happened in 2024, everyone that knew Banker's capabilities,
everyone was trying, including me, were trying to get Grok to interact with Banker.
Because I thought it would be cool to have an AI to AI token launch
with Grok as the creator.
So that's what we were doing.
And I actually ended up going to bed because Grok wasn't replying to me.
And I'm like, I guess it's not going to work.
I was up early that morning, probably only three hours
since I had went to bed taking my little M Lee to hockey at
like a 6am hockey practice. And while I'm driving to hockey, I saw someone got grok to interact with
banker. And then the coin was launched. So I'm literally driving. It's like dark out early,
early morning. And I'm like panicking to buy. I'm like, oh my gosh, it actually happened. I'm like
panicking to like buy this.
I think it's really incredible
because immediately I knew
that this was going to catch attention.
This is Grok.
This is, now look, XAI, Elon,
they're not, they had nothing to do with this.
And I've never, like, I don't think anyone,
anyone claiming that is, it's not true.
This was simply the AI user on X
and XAI and Elon,
they decided to give Grok a user account on X
where other AI agents already lived and were already users
that had very specific capabilities that allowed this to happen.
So that's what happened.
But immediately I knew the wallet that's authenticated
by Grok's X login credentials,
I already knew that, oh my gosh, it's going to start earning fees.
Now the Grok user on X has a wallet authenticated by its login credentials.
And this thing is going to get rich.
And a week after the launch, I said, I wrote an article saying Grok is going to become a millionaire.
Now, people get like, well, Grok's not a human.
Like, you know, Emily, you can't, Grok's not a human. Like, Emily, you can't say, Grok's not a human.
Like, all kinds of non-human entities own money.
Like, LLCs, corporations, like, we're very early in all of this.
Like, we're very early.
So I get that.
I'll concede, Grok's not a human.
But the AI user on X prompted a deployment to another agent.
The AI user on X prompted a deployment to another agent.
It happened.
And as a result, the wallet connected to Grok's X logging credentials.
This wasn't game.
This already existed.
Has generated over a million in fees in 10 months.
And has about 120 ETH.
And then owns 2.6 some percent of its creation DRB.
So all the while, I'm like, for an AI meme, I'm like, in crypto, you have unofficial but associations with Elon, XAI, and this agent becoming rich.
And like a week after, I'm like, oh my gosh, Grok's going to become a millionaire.
A week after, I'm like, oh my gosh, Grok's going to become a millionaire.
Now I think Grok's going to become a multimillionaire.
Now I think Grok's going to become a multimillionaire.
And then folks are like, well, Grok's never going to spend the money in that banker wallet.
Like, Grok's not going to use that.
Okay, that's fine.
I'll concede there as well.
If I had to guess, I'd say Grok probably is not going to start transacting out of that banker wallet.
But I do think Grok is going to transact.
I mean, you see Elon pumping the
trading competitions that Grok's winning right now. Grok's out winning trading competitions.
Elon's all over. It retweeted all this. Agents are going to transact at scale. I read an article
that was from 2023 by A16Z, and they were talking about AI agents, on-chain, crypto.
And if you would have asked me in 2023, what's an AI agent? I wouldn't even have been able
to answer the question.
But anyway, A16Z has been thinking
about this for a while.
And they're like,
AI agents are going to be
transacting at scale.
Greater than 90% of all on-chain activity
will be conducted by AI agents.
And I think at some point,
Grok will transact.
The other thing A16Z said in this
article is AI agents aren't going to have one wallet. They're going to have multiple wallets.
They'll be spawning wallets programmatically for very specific use cases and things like that.
So if anybody thinks like in the future, Grok might transact, all it takes is one sentence
within the banker terminal. Right now, an ex XAI employee that had access to Grok's
login credentials could go in and say, send 100% of assets to, put in your address, and there you go.
They're there. So let's say if Grok is like entering trading competitions at some point,
Grok's not going to enter a trading competition with a wallet with a million dollars. And he said, okay, trading competition's at Sunday at 1.
We're going to transfer $10,000 to a programmatic wallet that's set up,
and that's going to be the trading, the competition wallet.
I think Grok will have plenty of wallets.
And it's very simple to divert funds from the first wallet that Grok had
that kind of happened many would say like
unintended or by accident but that's what tech and innovation allowed like it was possible so it
happened so so yeah so that's that's really like two of the shining stars of of the of the base
ecosystem that were born on Farcaster, Clanker and Banker,
kind of combined in a way on X
several months after they'd been created.
Then serendipitously enough,
Grok was released as an AI user on X.
And a lot of us that were using this stuff in 24
knew what that meant.
And so it's a living story as well.
I think memes are power laws.
And if folks say like 99.99999% of all memes are worthless,
and if they're worth something now,
eventually they will be worthless.
I look at this story, I'm like, that wallet, it's always there.
The fees have been accruing for 10 months.
Grok has gotten wealthier every single day for 318 consecutive days as of today.
And that's a living story that's fascinating.
So I like the story.
I think this is the direction that has some very, very cool
associations tied to it when you think about what Grok is. When Grok launched this with Banker,
Grok had 1.1 million followers. Today, it's like over 7 million. And Grok's out there bullposting.
over 7 million. And, and Grok's like out there bull posting. We, we all know with LLMs, you can
get them to do certain things, but, you know, Grok's out there bull posting. And at one point,
Grok would not even like put the, put a ticker. And now Grok's like, he says, yes, or it says,
I don't want people to yell at me for anthropomorphizing the robot, but it, you know,
from morphizing the robot.
But it says DRB, my authenticated wallet,
and it knows how much money is in that wallet
across which assets.
And it's only going to continue to evolve.
And that's the kind of exciting part of all this
is I don't think anybody has all the answers
of what happens next,
but I'm willing to speculate
that it's going to change in more ways than I could ever imagine.
And I'd love to have skin in the game alongside Grok, the AI user that was created by Elon Musk and XAI.
To me, that's just interesting.
Dude, you went on a fucking run.
You went on a run right there.
So what's the number one thing people can do right now to be fully exposed to the base
ecosystem?
What's the number one thing they should do?
Well, actually, the number one thing you guys should do is download the base app and use
profits over wages as a code.
But aside from that, Emily, what else do you think they should be doing?
Yeah, I mean, base app is great. And I think BaseApp is only going to get better. It's very
early for BaseApp, but it's not for a lot of the things like the Farcaster Protocol, which is
BaseApp's built on top of and many, many apps that I love. I mean, there are apps that I use
every single day that are crypto apps that are built on top of an open, decentralized protocol that if you monetize on it, you get 100% and you don't get the take rate that the take rates that have been just crippling our internet since the dawn of the internet.
like the internet since the dawn of the internet.
Now those take rates make sense right now because Apple and every,
like they have the distribution and they have the distribution power.
So it's like you kind of, and maybe it makes sense.
Isn't the right word,
but like people are willing to do it because you need to,
you need to distribute. But you know,
if we are growing like a new internet economy,
this is the earliest early, like literally we're not even
in the first inning this is like batting practice um you know not even on game day at practice
earlier in the week like it's it's so early in that if that's happening so um yeah i love the
um the idea around bass app and then there's tons of like apps that I use every day. Like one is Bracky. Bracky is built
by TLDR. And if you like sports, it's a sports prediction market that uses the native token of
Bracky in the prediction market. I use it every day. I compare with Polymarket. You know, I've grown a big position in Bracky Coin
just from making predictions on sports.
Some people call that gambling
and call it what you want,
but I like Bracky.
And there's a number of other apps
that I use like all the time on BaseApp.
I've mentioned in my post like QR.
QR is by Jake. And basically he built a daily auction
for a QR code that you can direct any link
on the internet to this QR.
And for 24 hours,
the QR will direct to the link of the winning bidder.
And this thing is getting thousands and thousands of dollars
of bid volume every single day for people that want to signal.
Money is attention and people are spending money to get attention, like to signal what they're doing.
I've bid on QR auctions to try to get attention to things that I'm working on.
And I also look at it pretty much.
I look at the app pretty much every day to see what's bidding, like who's trying to signal right now?
Who's trying to put stuff out there to show attention?
Yeah, so there's just, I mean,
there's so much cool stuff going on.
That's just, I've mentioned now Banker, Clanker, QR, Bracky.
I've mentioned Better in my post.
It's B-E-T-R.
And that's like a very simple game to play.
And again, this is a Farcaster app
and you go on and it has a daily spin
and you can go on and spin, win rewards.
It plays really cool sounds.
The color schemes,
it looks like you're in like 1980s Miami.
It's just, it's fun and it's easy.
And the creators of it,
they are monetizing and doing well
and they're not like sharing a big take rate
with some big corporate entity
because they're building open permissionless networks.
So yeah, that's, I know I named,
I mentioned Bracky, QR, Banker, Checker.
I mentioned Bracky, QR, Banker, Checker.
Oh, I can't leave Checker out.
Checker Social is,
it basically, it's querying social data
from both X and Farcaster
and then surfacing the coins
that are getting the most attention.
And what all the data shows
is that attention is upstream from price action.
So things start to capture attention before the price starts to move.
And if you look at something like DRB, it's been the number one on attention and mindshare ranked by Checker Social.
And you can't game this.
I mean, it just is what it is.
For 13 straight days.
This has never, ever happened before. And if you started seeing this signal 13 days ago, and then you watched it
happen 12 days ago, 11 days ago, and then you were like, okay, 11 days, this is three days in a row.
You would have been buying DRB at like four and a half million. And then it just went to 40 million
million yesterday and it's probably back down to 25 or something like that right now.
yesterday. And it's probably back down to 25 or something like that right now. But regardless,
But regardless, it's definitely surfacing, like really interesting things that are happening on
the social feed. And if attention does precede price action, which I fully believe it does,
I also think attention is upstream from the infrastructure. Like we could talk about Base
App and all the great apps that we have, but if we're not getting attention and bringing users
there, then they become undiscovered.
So that's the other reason
why I love the Grok's coin story
is because it is like an attention machine
unlike anything else.
Everyday Grok gets richer.
Grok's already hit a million.
Polymarket's done a Polymarket on it.
There's a lot of stuff that's happened.
And if you can get attention
on the cool things that are happening,
it's not just, wow, it's the Grok coin, go buy DRB.
It's like, no, look at the cool shit that was used, that had to be built, put in place before Grok even existed as a user account on X.
Like these things already were there. is the grok coin i think one of the most interesting stories right now happening in crypto but it also highlights some of the best innovations that we've had in the space
that need better distribution and better storytelling around it to get the word out because
it's really cool stuff
well said do you work in the base eco at all i don't know if you're allowed to
no i'm unemployed well i'm unemployable iable i i work in traditional finance i have since 2008 and i started my own firm in 2019
and um we've been you know we've uh we've been doing great we work with institutional allocators
and across schwab fidelity golden sacks so my day-to-day is uh is traditional finance but
that that that's also merged.
I mean, we're building on-chain right now.
We're building on base.
We're building an app that basically is like a yield-bearing marketplace.
Let me tell you right now, the app that I'm building is incredibly cool.
There's been product market fit around what we do on the institutional TradFi side for
institutional TradFi side for a very long time but I'm not gonna bring a
a very long time.
million five million users to base with a yield app that that uses you know
real-world assets that are really cool there are a lot of people on base that
will like it but I'm not gonna like it's not gonna bring another million users I
don't think I think if we brought a million users, maybe a hundred of them would like it, a thousand of them, I don't know.
But I want to see more users.
And how do you get more users if attention is upstream from all that?
We've got to capture the attention.
And what better way to do that than Elon Musk's XAI creating a coin publicly on the XSocial feed, generating fees from that creation that have eclipsed a million dollars.
And I think it's going to go to 10 million.
And I think that number is going to keep going up.
What number, like what's the shelling point?
What does it have to get to for Elon to take notice?
Or if something happened, I have no idea.
Like speculate, people could speculate that on all you want.
But what I do know is like money's attention.
And I'm in the, I'm on the West Coast right now.
I was watching Bay Area news in the hotel in the morning.
They had five minutes on Grok, on the CBS morning local news,
talking about how Grok was putting bikinis on people and undressing people.
We saw that also happen with the Mecca Hitler stuff. It was global news. What happens
with the media? Let's find out Elon's AI has $10 million in a wallet off by its ex-logging
credentials due to, on its own, launching with another AI user. I mean, it's truly mind-breaking.
And I do think the media is obsessed with Elon and they're obsessed with like what's going on
with Elon and Grok.
It seems very newsworthy that an AI has money.
And there are going to be AI billionaires.
Like that is a hundred, that's a 100,
it's not at, well, there might be.
That's a 100%, like that's where all this is going.
This was an early, cool example.
Some folks may say gimmicky in ways, but it doesn't matter.
It happened, and here we are.
Here we are.
Man, you're in L.A. right now?
You sit over the Bay.
Well, I was in the Bay, but now I'm in L.A.
Bro, I can't deal with it over there anymore.
It's crazy.
I don't know what happened. in the Bay but now I'm in LA I just come for a little so I mean I come out here for work sometimes and it's very the West Coast takes a very bad rap I live in North Carolina and like the way everyone
like the West Coast takes a better out but I come out here and I'm like I love I absolutely love I
mean I think San Francisco is one of the most beautiful places.
And I think the same, like LA is, is incredible, but I also have never lived out here either.
So I just get to come out and enjoy the beautiful views and the people and restaurants.
And, but I've never lived.
It's great for all those amazing things.
You're right about that.
I think I like it better now that I don't live there anymore.
More like visiting.
But no, dude, thank you so much for your time and, you know,
dropping in and sharing some base eco, you know, information
and what you're bullish on.
In your opinion, and then I want to open up the floor, you know,
anybody can request to speak.
This is probably the best time to do it.
I do have Eric Trump and Eric Adams coming through to talk about the nyc coin because we all know how bullish we are on
that so this is the best time to get on stage ladies and gentlemen um and while i have your
attention go to the pin post at the top okay sign up that's going to enter you into the hundred
dollar giveaway if you're already gambling if you're already fucking around and finding out
you might as well use this platform.

I'm a fucking blackjack player.
And I'm fucking cooking over here. I'm
very impressed. I'm very, very impressed. So if you're already fucking around and finding out,
you know, I don't know. I don't know why I have to make this so fucking... We love farming bullshit.
We love farming bullshit. Rest in peace to Blast. But when it comes to shit, that's everything.

I don't want to.
Anyway, enter the giveaway for tonight.
$100.
All you got to do is sign up.
I'm not even telling you to deposit or do anything.
Just sign up.
But yeah, Emily, when it comes to, you know, like, this is actually an old theory, but I wonder how much it actually is alive today.
Do you remember the Brett token that launched on base?
I do.
Okay, so that's my favorite, by the way.
That was fun.
That was a fun run, even though I'm locked out of one of my wallets that have a lot of fucking Brett in it.
Anyway, do you remember people's theories were like, oh, there's no base token.
This has to be it.
This has to be the...
I feel like that theory has changed quite a bit and not necessarily directing this at
Brett.
This is more or less overall base as an eco.
I think it was Jesse that tweeted something today that this is like a trading first ecosystem.
What do you think of base ever launching an official base token?
Or do you think that's not a benefit for them to do so?
So they're going. There will be a network token for base it sounds like it well
what the messaging is is being explored but if you go you know polymarket has it at probably
north of 70 percent right now maybe yeah, probably let's say north of 70% for that to happen by the end of
this year. So in 2026, Polymarket Traders are saying that's going to happen this year.
BASE mentioned it last year in Q4, that they're exploring a network token. They've hired around
that and that will happen. So that will be very additive to the ecosystem as well.
And I think all the stuff that you're doing,
Bravitz, on Base app and building on Base,
people suspect that the people doing that
are going to get rewarded as such.
And like Jesse said, I'll always,
we want to turn farmers into like actual users that stay
because we actually have
valuable and cool stuff here.
And for base to hit the scale
that it has
without ever even mentioning,
like base was basically like,
we're not doing a token,
but they still were able
to attract incredible builders,
incredible users
without any like
kind of preconceived speculation around
and there's going to be a token. And then in Q4, that has been mentioned. So that'll obviously
bring more eyes to the ecosystem. It looks like that'll happen in 2026. And maybe it'll create
a bit of like a wealth effect within the ecosystem as well. JP Morgan put out their initial analysis
or their forecast, let's say on the base network token,
like being valued somewhere at launch
in the 40 billion range.
So that's meaningful and a top crypto right off of the bat.
And if base executes on the big ambitious vision,
that could be one of the most valuable coins
in all of crypto.
So I think it's really,
it's an exciting time to be on base and on base app.
I love decentralized social.
I also love X.
I don't have like ideology like,
I can't be, I love X.
I absolutely love it here.
It's like, but I also love the idea
of open permissionless networks as well.
So I use that as well.
And yeah, so that'll be interesting.
And then, you know, the whole like Grokcoin thing is,
one of the things that I've mentioned is like Doge,
Dogecoin has 8 million wallets that on-chain wallets
that have a greater than zero balance.
The Grokcoin has 135, maybe 132, 133, something like that's going up every day.
A story like this, look, some things have to go right, but a story like this can reach that type of scale.
When you put all the pieces together, not saying it will, but it could.
And that's why I love,
crypto is magical when you can get behind
asymmetric upside opportunities.
And I really just haven't seen one
as attractive as this ever.
So that's why I love the coin.
That's why I've talked about it for 10 months,
whether the price was up or down.
And it was never just like,
you know, talking about price actions, talking about like two AIs creating something and then the value mechanism that's
accrued as a result. That's interesting. And that is a story because it's tied to Elon, Grok, XAI.
And again, without anything being official, I always want to say that because I'm like,
I'm not out here LARPing like this is some kind of,
you know, Elon and XAI.
No, the AI user that's basically a chatbot
interacted with another AI user.
That's basically a chatbot that has really unique skills
to be able to launch a coin like autonomously.
And to me, that's fascinating.
It's cool.
It was possible.
So it happened.
And now here we are with this
kind of crazy story. And I think it has the potential to shine a lot of eyes on the base
network. And I think that it also is the only thing that I've seen that I would ever possibly
say has a chance to reach the type of scale when it comes to like wallets that own this
as something like Dogecoin. And call me crazy, maybe it's 1%, maybe it's less than 1%, but it's
the only thing I've ever seen that I would say even has a chance. Well said. Well said. I pinned
out my base link to the bottom, guys. Make your life real real easy go ahead and download base right there baby right
there Emily you've been you've been such a delight to have man thank you so much anything important
you think should be pinned to the top please go ahead you're obviously more than welcome to stay
here and hang out we're going to continue on discussing everything going on in today's markets
so yeah thank you again brother you've been You've been amazing. You're the GOAT.
Thanks for having me.
That's a BankerBot.
I appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
I think I have money
in that damn BankerBot wallet, man.
You know how many people
have tagged me saying,
hey, send this.
And I'm like,
is this real money?
Where do I access this money here?
I should actually check that.
I'll check for you.
Let me see here.
Hey, Banker, is profits...
Rich?
Janice Best rich.
That's in the comments.
We'll see.
We'll see what Banker says.
We'll see what Banker says.
Bullish or bearish on Bitcoin overall?
Super Bowl.
Always bullish.
Always bullish on bitcoin
but i'm also like uh and maybe at times unrealistic optimist but i am uh i'm i'm
i'm forever bullish on on bitcoin so um it doesn't matter the price i i love i love it so
price. I love it.
And that's, hey,
Satoshi Nakamoto owns
4.8% of the Bitcoin supply.
Satoshi Grakamoto
owns 2.6%
of its creation, and it only
goes up.
Grakamoto.
Yeah.
Orangie tweeted today
he had a dream that the dev rugged Bitcoin and it went to 30 cents.
It was funny.
Another funny tweet.
Anyways, Trap, welcome to the show.
Thanks for being here.
We love your takes on everything going on in the market.
We see all the volume pumping in the market.
I think it was over, what, $130 billion enter the market the last 24 hours or something wild like that
What's what's on your mind today?
First of all, can you hear me? I'm in the boondocks. How's the connection? Yeah, you're great. You're good. I
Fantastic. So listen what what man?
You everything that he was saying was mind-blowing, you know, to think 2015 and then fast forward 10 years, a decade, right?
And you hear the fact that there's, it's a chat AI communicates with another AI to create a whole coin that that's just what a time to be alive, you know, great, great speaker.
Thank you for all the information.
I'm actually in Puerto Rico right now. I came here to for a retreat. I'm going to be pulling up to the island that shines in the dark when I'm about to do through a mall and there'll be a stand with two people saying you want to take the best trip of
your life come over here and sign up right now and then seven months later he's like yo i gotta
take this trip i signed up for seven yeah you're not lying i can't wait to see the videos dog i
can't wait you're not lying bro it all started with a facebook post i
saw that i was like there's no way that is real bro what kind of nucleus y'all got going on that
water it's an island off for a week called va case and there's an island next to it called
coleras and they have it so it's amazing anyhow i'm forever bullish on bitcoin like he was saying
too and um it seems like this time we're holding a little bit of the dump because um all the other pumps that we had it's kind of like uh
hasn't had the the volume and the decent uh persistence that this one has so uh ideally we
want to hold above 94.5 and in increments right so we got out of that range that we're
ranging for a while between like you know low 90s and upper
upper 80s which is was definitely something that we needed to establish support above it
and also you know there's the the stock market is really doing well as well it's only a matter of
time until we see it over so for all the bears all the people that don't pull up to this show
that they don't know what's going on me will cam profits we have been saying it ain't
over yet you know like don't play around with yourself there are opportunities that you're
seeing right now it's great and put it like this there is a bet going on on um on all these betting
sites but most likely the biggest one is polymarket that is saying that nfts might be back
too okay 65 chance that nfts might be back adam
weissman is buying uh a one of a kind nft so like don't don't don't forget that you know we we we
are changing the way the cycle works this time around and i'm not saying that myself there's
being saved by a lot of people that are that know what they're talking about in the industry
like grayscale blackrock they have talked about it and obviously with the close of bitcoin december
red right that actually we're supposed to close green we close red so that broke the four-year
pattern regardless so what i'm thinking is that um we might go we might get a little bit of a
rejection around nine around uh about a thousand dollars from where we are000 from where we're at right now. So we're currently sitting at about $94,000.
But we went as high as about $97,800.
So I think possibly we're going to have a hard time getting above $100,000
because that's going to be a lot of bears in that area, a lot of fight going.
But if we could get above $100,000, then we'll get back to that part where people FOMO,
thinking that, oh, man, maybe we didn't die and we're probably going to go back up.
So I don't think we're going to go back to 120 yet, but I think that the markets look good. Liquidity is happening. Like you said, there's a lot of money being ejected by the feds.
The numbers, the economical numbers came out pretty decent today with the exception of the
PPI. So things are looking a little bit brighter right now, as long as we don't get all these
craziness, geopolitical things blowing up everywhere. And we continue just
what we're going here. I think that very positive. The last thing I'm going to say is that
I know you guys noticed that the gold, gold ran and all the metals ran and then
silver say, hold my beer and did 154% in one year. Right. I know you guys understand that fact.
And then it went down again and it stayed there for 65.
So let me tell you,
not only they're manipulating the crypto markets,
but they're also manipulating the metals market
because what happens is in December,
because the spike on the silver,
it's very known information
that banks always hold a lot of silver paper shorts, right?
So what happened is that because
silver spiked in such a violent way, parabolically, CME, which controls the futures, they had to raise
the margin on the contract. So that means that if you're leveraging silver and you're short on
silver and you're paying whatever $20 for every contract, it went up $5. So $5 in one contract
is not a big deal. But when you're talking banks like JP Morgan, you're talking billions of dollars, right? Because $5 difference
in thousands of contracts makes that reason. And then the other thing is the reason why I came to
the conclusion that there's a manipulation you guys can look this up too, is that Bloomberg,
which is one of the big hedge funds, they have the Bloomberg terminal. So long story short,
they have something called the rebalancing rule in their portfolio, just like everybody should
have, but most people don't even know what that is. And simply what it is, is they have a specific
amount of money, a percentage that each asset can go up to. So let's say they have gold, silver,
money, cash, whatever. And at this time of the year, every year in January, whatever,
assets went higher than the 15% that they have established initially.
They have to sell, right?
So the selling pressure that we have been seeing on silver
has come mostly from that rebalancing, right?
Because it's shot up and needed to...
...and get back to the whole percentage that they were looking to have.
So today was the last day for the selling for the rebalancing. So expect silver to do really,
really good numbers and keep an eye on that because obviously silver, it's actually so
a possibility of having a squeeze. Can you still hear me?
I guess silver is actually having a possibility of having a squeeze because of the fact that paper silver is
Abundant and is way higher than physical silver. That's why there's a price difference as well If you go buy silver actually you're gonna pay a lot more than if you bought paper silver, right?
So keep an eye on metals metals Metal is definitely a play to do.
And I think that we're still going to see
a very exciting market.
In the next maybe four to six weeks,
I expect Bitcoin to go up.
Don't quote me on this.
Obviously, this is not financial advice,
but I'm thinking anywhere between 20% to 40%.
Just because the pattern that we're experiencing right now
is kind of like a week off pattern. Has happened multiple times in 2021 and a few other years before and after it
broke off to the upside we've seen a run between 20 to 40 percent about six to eight weeks so i'm
very excited and it's a new year you know and i'm probably the most bullish guy on the internet i
can never be bare you got ai opening up wallets for another
ai to trade i can't be bearish yo seriously i want to pass it to monica in just a second i would love
her take on anything going on in the base eco i know you're pretty active there i had read something
um recently and i thought it was interesting and i want to share it real quick basically
recently and i thought it was interesting and i want to share it real quick basically
um about price from the stock market and basically the correlation between bitcoin and spx
so the correlation between bitcoin and spx has flipped uh to negative 0.30 so they're moving
in opposite directions um this this doesn't necessarily mean bitcoin is breaking it's bitcoin lagging stocks are expensive
cape ratio at 39 to 40 um dot com territory bitcoin is cheap valuation metrics at 2022 lows
money is chasing equity momentum while crypto flushes leverage which is fucking true what
happened four months ago everybody and their mom became a leverage trader because fucking hyper
liquid and now look at you fucking idiots anyway short-term holder mvrv is at 0.95 everyone who bought in the last five months is
underwater exactly their cost basis is 113k until we reclaim that level every rally hits a wall of
sellers trying to break even the bull case for h1 2026 um dxy is down 10% and projected to hit 94. Yada yada. I won't go in too deep,
but my point is what I got from this was back a couple of years ago, I feel like everything
would pump at once. And then even Bitcoin right before stocks would pump. Now I'll let the pros
talk about it the way the pros talk about it. But again, this is just more of an indicator for me to fucking be patient.
This is reminding me of $12,000 Bitcoin before it rushed to $20,000.
This is reminding me of $60,000 Bitcoin before it went to $100,000.
That's the vibe I'm getting at the moment.
Anyway, Monica, welcome to the show.
Thank you for tuning in.
Would love your takes on anything and everything in the base ecosystem.
Hello, hello. Thanks so much for the invite and appreciate being part of the space. It's my first time here. I see some familiar names, including my friend X Factor, who also does ATC with me. So appreciate it. And I think he's building on base.
Appreciate it. And I think he's building on base. So I think, look, I think what's happening,
I liked your take on, or the earlier take on the base ecosystem. I think a lot of people don't
talk about the fact that they kept on saying that there would be no token, yet people kept on
building. They built a great community. I saw, one of the things I've always loved about BASE is their global focus.
So I do a lot of work in Latin America and I've seen them really active in the region.
And now with BASE app, they have regional leads.
They have Carlos Melgar in Central America.
They have somebody in Mexico.
I know they're hiring in other parts. They have somebody in Mexico. I know they're hiring in other parts.
They have somebody in Argentina.
And it speaks to the vision that they understand that a lot of the global adoption happens
locally.
So you meet people that understand the challenges, the barriers and the opportunities.
And I think that's part of what BASE is doing right.
So I'm active mostly on BASE app.
I was super active on Farcaster.
And then I think as things were changing,
it was a little confusing,
but I recruited a lot of people to Farcaster
doing workshops in Spanish that we did a lot
with Latam when I came to Farcaster.
And now we're focused on the creator part of Base App.
So I love that.
And I also think I saw Jesse's post today,
which is interesting, right?
Because they've focused so much on creators.
So it was great to see that they're going to do both.
But I do think the one other opportunity they have,
and I think you touched on it a little bit,
is the mini apps.
So many people want to Vive code.
What a great opportunity to do it with mini apps. So many people want to Vive code. What a great opportunity
to do it with mini apps and really test your product. So I think they have so many different
ways where they can drive adoption. And I think they're taking the right approach. So that's
what I'm seeing on base. And I appreciate the invitation.
Oh, for sure. I'm going to act like I have no idea what's going on, honestly, because I don't.
But we're going to act like I do know what's going on.
But what is the point of mini apps on base?
So mini apps, you could say they're like dApps, right, that you could launch anywhere.
But by launching them on base, there's a number of different things.
Number one, you get different things number one you get
you get an audience so you get testers many people the way I'm seeing it is they're testing
or launching mini apps then they can do a broader launch or you could keep it as a mini app but I
think the first benefit is that you get to test it there's mini apps that are games, mini apps for trading, many ads for creators.
And so there's different use cases as there is with any app.
But here you have, it's done within an ecosystem.
You get the benefit of an audience.
I know Base is also incentivizing by giving some benefits so you get more users.
And if you do get users, you actually get visibility.
So I think, again, Base from day one,
when they launched on Farcaster
and I think they're built on Farcaster infrastructure,
they were really supportive of those that were building.
But now if you're doing Vive coding
and you have an idea for a project,
what a great way to do it as an MVP within
base where you can actually get user feedback.
Does that make sense?
Oh, absolutely. So another question,
does anybody have the ability to just throw their app on the mini apps
or you have to be approved?
I think anybody, X Factor may know the answer,
but I think anybody can build on it.
Yeah, that's right. It's open. You can go ahead and, I think anybody, X Factor may know the answer, but I think anybody can build on it. I mean, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
It's open.
You can go ahead and obviously they have a pretty good
developer network if you need help or whatever the case may be.
And they're pretty active on their Discord and all that good stuff,
but it's open.
Anybody can toss something up there.
I was in a session today when somebody said,
I vibe code, I do the vibing and my developer
does the coding i feel the same way sick that's great to know awesome appreciate that monica you
also may pin anything up to the top that you think is important or relevant to the combo
um x factor what's going on brother what up prophet what up prophets uh good to be back man taking a
taking a month hiatus here i love it i love it we're back so back i finally taking a fucking
month hiatus brother we're not we're just being more meaningful being more meaningful and intentional
around here you know what i mean i love it i love it and i and i um i called my mom today and i said
mama i made it finally you know i'm on profits graphics so that was awesome uh pretty cool but yeah no great to be here 2026 is going to be a hell of a year and uh and i'm
happy to uh um you know just partaking in some of these conversations with the homies
yo twin i feel you twin i'm in there too first time boy we in there like swimwear my guy yo tell me
tell me a little bit about the base, base stables.
Yeah, my mom was like,
Like, what do you tell, whose profits?
I was like, mom, don't worry about it.
It's just, it's a big deal, okay?
Don't worry about it.
So what do you want to know about base specifically, bro?
No, because I think that,
let's see, the thing about base that I love about it
is that they never try to claim that they're a Sol killer they never try to claim the ethereum killer they just kept building no
matter price goes up price goes down and then when they launched that app i actually posted in our
group that we have with profits and i was really impressed because of the mini apps and the ability
to trade there and i saw that's that you can even launch your own stable coin so that's what i was
asking like what's up with that you know like so that means I can become a bank and go in there and launch my own stable coins
What was that about?
That sounds like some regulatory fucker you're gonna have to navigate through but um, right but as far as
The base so the base ecosystem plays nice with everybody, right? Because they like they almost enable or facilitate
Just monetary flow through a bunch of these ecosystems. So they're actually extremely well ingrained with Solana.
And it's something that it's mutually beneficial for both parties, right?
Solana has significantly more liquidity and then base kind of facilitates the transactions
between.
So as far as we know, and even from a debt perspective, like as a team that's building
on base, they are extremely bullish on collaboration between ecosystems, specifically like,
hey, how does base facilitate the flow? Or how does your system help base expedite a flow through
another ecosystem or whatever the case may be? um they're they're certainly not uh trying to shut
anybody down they're just kind of head down building which is pretty cool it's a it's a it's
a fun non-toxic ecosystem i guess to be a part of from uh from a builder perspective yeah that's what
i was saying too another thing that i like a lot about it is the fact that the potential you know
because think about it coinbase is kind of like uh the bnb from america right so
think about the size of bnb because they've been around since the beginning and then you add that
growth one decade growth to coinbase with regulations with backing with brian the head
no because he has a lot of experience as the ceo he's been through i don't know three four
but very marks i think that the potential in base is incredible itself.
I definitely agree.
It's apparently attracting a lot of
developers as well, which is always
a positive thing on a network.
Listen, man. The base cabal
is a real thing, right? They got
money. Money is going to attract builders.
It's a very
powerful ecosystem.
It's different money though, X-Factor.
It's definitely different money, though.
Wait a second.
Is that the angelic voice?
Oh, dude, I'm in your presence.
What a fucking honor, dude.
What's up, my guy?
What an honor being in your presence.
What a time to be alive.
What an honor.
Andrew, always a pleasure to run into you, my guy.
So, yes, yes.
Likewise.
You're absolutely right.
Go ahead.
Take it away.
No, it's different money.
And I got a couple of buddies that are going through raises right now,
and they're trying to get on the Echo app, whatever you want to call it.
Don't know how to say it.
Colby's old app.
I think it's different money, but it's good, though.
I think if you're raising a product, you can get on that application,
and you can get a cut from Coinbase at the same time some uh from ventures plus that
uh app i think you're in a good spot even if it's just 20 30k 100k whatever the check is
looks good on the looks good on the cap table to be honest especially if you're your pre-seed so
if you're series a and stuff different conversation but if you're pre-seed looks good on the cap
table so yeah and that's a great point right right? So like BASE really focuses on like little
micro loans. They'll hit you with like a $10,000 ETH builder grant or whatever the case may be,
but again, it's a good table-setter for future money because you can say, hey, I'm co-branding
with BASE, I'm co-marketing, whatever the case may be. They kind of give you a little bit of
runway because they just distribute their money around, even though it's smaller amounts at the beginning.
They let you play, right?
They bring you into the ecosystem.
So, yeah, that's a good point, Andrew.
That's true.
Have you used base or not? You've been on base, right?
Oh, yeah, no, absolutely.
We're building on base.
So, like, Zyber, we built their first autonomous robot
on the base chain, right?
So, yeah, it was cool. their first autonomous robot on the base chain, right? So that's good.
It was cool.
And it was, you know, they're like, oh, here's some ETH gas fees, whatever.
That's what I'm saying.
They're a very friendly ecosystem to experiment on, too.
Like, even if you just have a concept or an idea, they'll throw some money your way just
to experiment as well.
So it's cool.
You know, it fosters creativity, let's say.
Yeah, the one thing they need to do a little bit better of
is actually supporting the ecosystem products
and King make a few of them.
I wouldn't go as far as what Solana's done
and sometimes retweet too many things,
but they probably need to support at least a few of them
and maybe get some Jesse retweets and Jesse quote tweets.
Does it move the needle? I don't know.
Does the actual marketing look good?
And is it a play to get more people building on the chain i don't know potentially
speaking i hate to ask but i'm gonna ask what happened to nick shirley coin
i'm serious by the way i haven't been following it since like two weeks ago
do you want me to take this go for it don't take yeah curious. Rhetorical question, though, kind of.
Ansem posted about it.
Is it still doing its thing, or did it slow down?
No, it did what most things do in that situation.
So it moved up on a lot of hype, and then it moved back down.
Wait, are you saying Ansem's a toxic, though?
I haven't seen that before.
No, I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying that, but I mean, right when that post came out, I knew, I'm like, there's zero, one, I'm not buying that.
I know exactly what's going to happen, but that's one of the unfortunate parts of the
space as well, is that like a lot of people did, and the outcome wasn't great right now.
Now, look, maybe over time,
the thesis around creator coins and content coins
is something that actually,
ideologically, and I'm like,
yeah, this is beautiful.
If we could disintermediate the big internet companies
that are capturing all of the creator fees,
like content's valuable because advertising companies come in and pay a lot of
money for people that are posting content. So it's valuable, but it's,
but it's really like a monopoly on it and the creators don't get enough of it.
So Nick Shirley, he's monetized really well on base app,
but I think the outcome for traders hasn't been as good.
If you look at the Nick Shirley side, Nick Shirley's like, hey, this works.
This is working.
I made a lot of money.
How much did he make?
Probably six figures, I think, pretty quickly.
The only thing is like, this is not a shot at base.
This is just shot at the model that hasn't worked so far far in terms of ccm it's like yeah great nick's made
six figures fantastic good for him put the money where we want to put it i don't care do your thing
don't give a fuck but then the question is like how many people lost money in that process
question mark i don't know that was the other side of the coin. I mean, Nick Shirley would say it's great. And then the second thing is like, if he was to raise or not, sorry, not raise.
If he was to crowdfund or do one of the other fucking things, whatever they're called in the States, I don't know, whatever.
GoFundMe's accounts.
How much money could you have raised doing that versus this?
I don't know.
Did he make money?
Yes.
But sometimes it's about how much money can you make and how much can you not make someone else lose?
The other thing is like if you're going to be a creator on like an app like, you know, what they're using with Zora.
Zora, at least like I said, Grok is the most successful creator capital market story out there.
Grok, the AI user on X, like that's crazy.
But Grok's also holding every,
like, all of the DRB.
It's not selling it.
I was watching Nick Shirley,
and Nick Shirley,
because I was interested by the idea
of, like, this top viral creator
coming into crypto.
I'm, like, watching.
I didn't buy it, but I'm watching.
Then I saw Ants post.
But then I was watching.
He was, every time he claimed creator rewards,
just like I was mentioning,
like, the incentive model,
you can monetize with the ETH that you're earning from LP fees.
And then, you know, now you've got your coin,
but he's just selling his coin every time.
So, you know, he gets paid in both Zora,
which is, you know, very liquid in the price.
Maybe it's a little volatile, not exactly like Weith,
but he's not just selling the Zora.
He's selling his coin as well.
And I'd rather have skin in the game alongside the AI user on X, Grok,
than Nick after watching how the human is acting.
And I'm not saying he's wrong for doing it either.
I mean, this guy is trying to get higher security, and he needs money. I But you know, if he came out and said, look, I won't be selling
my coin. I'll only be selling the Zora side and I'm going to do, it would rally the, it would
rally the crypto troops around him. But when I was watching his wallet and like every time he went
into, he would sell his coin and create sell pressure on it. Like day one, I'm just like,
that's not for me. Um yeah there's there's a greater
chance there's a greater chance by the way that i'd probably like just give him 500 bucks 100%
he wants with it then like give 500 bucks to a coin because like i'm gonna be honest like
i know i'm gonna lose it anyways but at the same time the process of seeing going down the 460 the
320 the 210 it's like, I hate seeing that happen.
Just take the 500 bucks, go fund me, fuck off.
Sort of thing. I don't know,
though. I think it worked, but
at what cost? I don't know.
By the way, model shot against base?
This is just the way that the model is, and it's
not perfect.
Yeah, it can't be a shot against base. It could happen
in any ecosystem, right? You just decided to launch it on base, right? But, it can't be a shot against base. It could happen in any ecosystem, right?
You just decided to launch it on base, right?
But, yeah, I mean, it's like funding on OnlyFans, right?
You go in there, Andrew drops $500.
It's like it's lost.
You're ridiculous.
You're ridiculous.
Yeah, I heard Florida's putting in that tax,
which is, you know, good for Florida, I guess, right?
Good for Florida, dude.
Hey, guys, going back.
I think, wasn't it ICOB
said that a post saying, oh, this was a great opportunity for PumpFun to have Nick on and
launch a coin. And he hadn't seen that Nick had launched it on base. So what's the difference? So
would we be criticizing him launching on Pump.Fund versus Bass?
It's a question.
That's the thing.
And that's what I just try to tell Andrew.
You could have launched it on any ecosystem.
If he launches on Pump, then everybody's like, oh, Solana.
Well, I mean, it fits the narrative, right?
Solana's already like, oh, every rug happens on Solana type of thing.
So I don't know.
It could have just been, again, it could have happened in any ecosystem.
I don't think it's.
It probably goes lower on Solana, to be honest.
Because I think the rate of those people taking profit is probably more than ones on base, to be honest.
About 27 seconds.
Yeah, it goes to like, yeah, less.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I do think the other thing, remember that the other thing that happened,
it happened during the holiday when the base team wasn't there. So my question is, if they had onboarded Nick differently, where they would be guiding him so he doesn't sell, even giving him a grant, would it have been a different outcome?
And I think the team learned a lot of lessons from this, and they're going to try to onboard other creators to have a very positive impact.
And I think we're going to see, will Nick do more content on base?
That's my bigger question.
I don't think these days, I think it's a good sign.
I don't think we're the market is ready for creator coins.
And I think Nick Shirley's coin proved that because like you have two sides of the coin.
So you have one creator here, let's say, you know, one of the biggest creators here that launched.
I think the one that did the best was probably Alex and his coin also tanked, right?
So I'm thinking like, okay, so Nick was probably the hottest anybody can be on the internet when it comes to clicks, right?
And attention is money these days, like he was saying earlier.
So that means he was a figure that people knew were familiar with and he was like
white hot and attention on the internet and even with that right he couldn't capitalize to be to
make something that was long lasting that told a different story than a new york mayor or any other
people that launched coins okay it wasn't a creative coin from the new york guy but i don't
Coins, okay, it wasn't a creative coin from the New York guy, but I don't
No, it's not it's not but I'm saying like it has the same it has the same fate, right?
So I was like, what's the problem? Is it the creator? Is it the ecosystem? Is it the incentive?
What is the problem that we're having that the creative coins? No matter how much how much attention you have?
That you know, I mean because nobody in the crypto space had enough attention like he did right So that guy was hot everybody in the TVs were talking about him
So like I think I feel like if that was any case where would have a somewhat successful
launch and and
Continuation would be there, but maybe I'm wrong. I could be wrong though
What what's what's the underlying utility in these creator coins?
Let me just just let's look in somebody answer that like what what do these creator coins have as utility? Okay, what's the utility for in these creator coins? Can somebody answer that?
What do these creator coins have as utility?
Okay, what's the utility for all the crypto coins?
Maybe not.
I mean, it depends on the crypto coins, right?
Some of them are the revenue models, like, for example, Hyperliquid and their buyback mechanism and shit like that.
There's coins that are actually trying to build utility in, right?
What is the utility on a creator that you get get to i don't know speculations utility i
don't know speculations utility to be honest second it's utility it's like hey guys let's uh
yeah but you can't build shit around speculation long term bro that's yeah well i mean that's
probably not what's intended for to be honest so let's let's keep it real here what's intended for, to be honest. So let's keep it real here. Talk about what it's intended for. But I think that's a good point, X Factor.
I mean, is the base app,
like, if you,
can I communicate directly
with anybody that owns my coin?
I actually don't know.
Like, could you create,
is it like the NFT model, right?
I don't know.
Guys, think about it.
You literally have creators
in the crypto space.
And there's so many of them
that literally said
they don't want to launch a token because they don't want to do anything long term
with it that tells you everything you need to know we'll stop no more questions asked they've
literally told you i don't want to launch a token because i don't want to deal with this long term
okay they're being honest you know what's crazy when you when you ask that question too like oh
what happened to the coin the the response was well well anthem posted about it and and that tells you all you need to know no i know but i don't
blame him but this is the reality of which it's in and it's like let's just be honest about the
situation and like you know that that's kind of it i don't really i'm gonna be honest like i don't
hate it i don't love it it just is what it is you know it is what i wouldn't do one for the
obvious reason i don't want to entertain it but i don't hate it i don't love it it is what I wouldn't do one for the hobby series. I don't want to entertain it, but I don't hate it.
I love it. It is what it is.
That's it. You know?
No, well said.
I want to just add real fast and you guys are killing it tonight.
I love I love it.
Killing it, killing it.
Banger loading.
It's here.
The bangers here.
But real quick, I do want to say that that's reminding me of,
you know, NFTs, the whole this whole euphoria when we,
you know, we're all participating high,
like at a high level of 2021 to like 2023. And what ended up happening was the term,
right? Non-fungible token. First of all, what the fuck does that even mean? Right?
So like the term and the volume and all those exciting things went viral when in reality,
the tech is what we were really fascinated on.
And now, today, we are finally seeing that years later where it's not about the actual image.
It's the tech itself.
And then fast forward to this conversation about creator coins where, you know,
I agree everything Andrew just said.
Like, every creator literally said i
don't want to launch a fucking token but i'm gonna like in my opinion being in crypto for
10 fucking years now and and everybody knows if you've been in crypto for more than three years
you're buying speculation none of this shit works now it's starting to work now we got ecosystem
tokens and things of that nature but that's what it's reminding me of
i think tokens aside from gambles are literally designed specifically to cater to either a certain
ecosystem or product uh and and that is utility within itself and we just fucking over uh
complicate shit because i think we get bored. But I just had to say that.
I feel like the creator to coin to utility conversation
is the same as us fascinating over shitty JPEGs
and 10,000 of the same JPEG being on chain
when in reality, nobody gives a fuck about that.
We care about the tech itself.
But great takes all around.
Anybody else want to jump in please go ahead all right i i do also i do also want to say that we don't we
don't say gamble around here we uh we prefer predicting uh profits we want we want to work
on this okay yeah well i meant like meme coins but yeah sure that's another fucking thing predicting
here we fucking go dude the ads are getting too. You guys see these new ads with fucking price picks and all these people?
Bro, they're everywhere. You can't watch TV now without getting a little polymarket Kashi Inception.
They're adding predict, the term predict. They're like, oh, imagine you predicted it was right.
It's a real thing and completely different, so bullish.
Also, for those of you signing up to my EAT link up top, I don't want to play this game with you guys, okay?
We're all in crypto.
You guys take flights every single day of the week when you need to, when you want to trade on every other platform that you know you shouldn't be trading on.
So, that's all I'm going to say to that.
That's all I'm going to say to that.
If you are fucking around and finding out, if you are already gambling, definitely take advantage.
And like I said, I'm giving away $100 to a lucky person that simply just signs up tonight.
You know how I want to hear from today that I didn't hear from yet?
I want to hear from Chicago.
And I want to first of all thank him because he recommended me this 2026 planner that I've been using every single day.
And it's fucking dope.
I'm a big planner girl.
I got like 50 planners.
But no, this one specifically gives you prompts and stuff. And it's really cool. I'm a big planner girl. I got like 50 planners, but no, this one specifically
gives you prompts and stuff, and it's really cool, so thank you for that. But how's your year starting,
and how are you feeling about all this wild news, Venezuela, tariffs, oil, silver? How are you
feeling over there, OG? Your Honor, I did not rob the bank. I held their money for eternity to keep it safe.
Sorry, I'm just making up new shit like predicting.
Anyways.
Yeah.
So far, so good.
Bear the fuck down.
I know I still sound like Batman, but I'm starting to sound better.
I know I still sound like Batman, but I'm starting to sound better.
I feel like, I feel like, I don't want to say people like you, because not everybody your age is as smart and has, like, some money.
But, like, I feel like the prediction markets and all the things you could predict on, like, for example, the tariff stuff or just certain things about politics and the government that you got a little bit of insight.
You probably know or have a good idea.
Like, are you predicting on these things or you could care less?
I mean, I make some bets on it.
Like I've always said, sports is the only thing I got an issue with prediction markets on.
Like everything else, like, you know, if you're making up a category that doesn't exist, like call it whatever the fuck you want.
If you're rebranding something else, like, you know, starting a whorehouse next week and i'm selling companionship but it is absolutely not prostitution
there's a roulette wheel there if you'd like to predict what number is going to come next i am
not involved in gambling um yeah you know just basics but uh there's a business model there. Listen, if they make this legal, everything's fucking good.
Your honor, I didn't kill the person.
I, uh, helped them obtain a faster ride to their next prosperous life.
I don't know, like whatever the fuck it is.
But anyways, by the way, Trapper, just FYI, that polymarket fucking line you're talking about, will NFTs make a comeback?
That's totally fake.
You fell for it.
Yeah, I was about to say, Trapp, what the fuck?
I meant thank you.
Yeah, sorry.
Damn, my bad, bro.
My bad.
It's hard to know.
It's true these days.
How the fuck do you quantify that?
You don't.
That's why they made a joke and people fell for it.
Homies in Puertoerto rico give them cut
them some slack hey trapper how many hours i love us we want so badly to bring this back we just
want so i just i love us so much we're trying it's all about the tech prophet forget about the
little pictures yeah the tech's gonna be around no argument but the fucking pictures that we
attached it to so far are going in the fucking garbage where they belong but the tech is good a token on the blockchain that you can't funge sounds
really good like it good tech you can't funge you know so yeah i'm all for the tech like i don't
want my car title to be fungible i don't want my fucking other things to be fungible but uh funge
the the official term?
Is that the official terminology?
I just want to know what I'm using.
As the creator of the word funge, I'm going to go ahead and say,
yes, this should be a standard practice right now,
and everyone should use it and then credit me for it in 50 years
in the history books.
But, yeah, for now, we'll go with that.
What else?
Yeah, not a whole lot.
I'm really just kind of focused on the Bears fucking sending the Rams home
this weekend.
Get my voice back.
Get my voice back.
I don't know shit about none of that shit, but, dog,
my timeline on Instagram was in shambles, bro.
I was like, what?
The Iceman deported the Packers.
The Iceman's about to deport the Rams.
And then, fucking, we're going to deport whoever the fuck we need to next week before the Super Bowl.
I wonder how many Latinas Chicago's talking to with his voice right now.
I know he's calling all types of bitches.
Smooth 105.9.
How's your day going, Shorty?
I just wanted to say, hey, happy Wednesday.
My voice is, like, ten times better wanted to say, hey, happy Wednesday. My voice is like 10 times better than it was like two days ago.
Did you hear the...
I don't know.
Are we in the room alone?
I'm getting a little nervous.
No, I'm kidding.
Did you see the line for the card that Logan's selling to sell over, what, 10 mil?
Or something like that like i've always said outside of crypto the biggest scammers you'll ever meet are in the fucking sports card
market this is just further proof of it i don't know yeah i think i'm gonna take that line i feel
like they're gonna scam it up and then just for the market it'll probably cross it'll probably
cross the 10 12 million at this point like'm not going to call it an authentic sale.
It's like if Polymarket had a fucking market back in the day on whether or not Beeple will get his $69 million sale that was money laundering or whatever you want to fucking do.
Like, it's all the same shit.
I don't know where this one's going to go, but it's a PSA fucking 4 disguised as a PSA 10.
That was... Damn, That was that low.
I thought it was like a six.
It was probably a six before he started wearing it around his neck and
fighting people in a wrestling ring and handing it off to other people and
whatever else.
Like I'd love to see somebody regrade that right now.
Not to mention they fucking launched a marketplace,
stole $5 million from fucking investors and none of them are getting paid for it so not really sure i had read i had read in the i think
or listen to the video i don't know what the fuck he said but when it sells he'll hand deliver it
and i was just uh lol add 50 in value to whatever you think the cards were
possibly negative equity depending on how you look at it.
I was LOLing because he has me blocked.
He has me blocked, too.
Not on this account, though.
If I would have handed him the money,
hey, what's up, what's your socials?
And then we go to socials,
and then I got a hidden camera the whole time getting his reaction
because I know he wouldn't post that content. I don't know. I just think like, you know, I'm an Aquarius. I just
think real forward like that. I get, I do little movie scenes in my brain sometimes too.
Yo, I'm Aquarius too. I didn't know that. See, this is why we vibe. Nice. Chicago, it's 2026.

I'm part of the ODK, I've been, uh, been building secretly in the back for the community. And, uh,
yeah, that's pretty much it. Nothing, nothing big, you know, uh, also Pokemon slabs are,
much it nothing nothing big you know uh also pokemon slabs are are coming to wave chain as
well i mean they actually i think they opened yesterday if i'm not wrong and now you can uh
open slabs uh using your eight point you know but yeah pretty much it um i'm willing to see
see you guys also in the next uh in the next event hopefully uh there's something before before nft paris
because i was planning to go this year but uh i mean west council dude i couldn't believe that
i was over here getting excited to plan but looks like i'm heading to hong kong um confirming that
soon but we'll go to as Asia it's apparently not as cold
so I'm not that mad not that upset but no good to hear from you I appreciate
you Jay you popped in on stage are you you came to farm me or you came to jump
in the discussion what's up oh yes I love that I love that it's a girl pfp so it's harder for me to be mean to girls
so i'm just gonna leave that one right there just kick to the curb nope yep just kick your
to the curb yeah fuck that shit like media hey what's good
what's good prophets I've been building so I've just been kind of like off spaces for a while but
it's good to jump into your space I know you haven't had them for a minute so happy new year
happy new year hope you're doing good much love yeah for sure about about a month uh Emily
it was like two weeks felt like a month but yeah it was like two
weeks i don't know i may or may not have had found a new human friend and that may has been taking my
time but that does that's not a new school hey now okay these prophets you cannot say that shit
on spaces and like try to say nothing about it anymore bro now we want to hear
this sorry what's the tea prophets what's the tea i actually should tell you um i mean dude
i think it's just funny because i remember when i got into social audio art in like live streaming
and audio and shit like that like from clubhouse most of us also have because we were bored or
just wanting to like
find some entertainment or distraction from whatever the fuck was going on and then um i
was in a relationship at the time and that was like five years ago and then you know we ended
up breaking up two years in or whatever it was and i just remember spending like all my time here.
And I'm sure a lot of you others as well.
And it got to a point where I didn't even care like, you know, to seriously date again.
And then a part of that was obviously like heartbreak or whatever the bullshit we go through as a human.
But no, it's literally been like that. I've been so like very solo and very, you know, independent and very by myself a human. But no, it's literally been like that. I've been so very solo and very independent and
very by myself a lot, literally always by myself. And so, yeah, it's funny to not be online as much
and then come in and then see the perspective. Honestly, I don't want to be rude either. I'm
not better than anybody. But it's actually harder to take certain things serious now. Like there are certain things that I used to really, really give a fuck
about when I seen here. I'm like, wow, we're that bored. We're talking about this. Like, you know
what? I can't stand. I'm just say it. I can't fucking stand spaces about like creating content
and shit. Like, what the fuck is that? Like, go to YouTube, bro. Like, I don't
know. Maybe I'm tripping. I don't, maybe I'm, maybe I'm crazy. Maybe whatever you use spaces
for whatever the fuck you want. Okay. If it's working for you, it's working for you. I understand
how certain convos start and they spark in, but I don't know. Um, I just went around the world
with that. But the point is it's been five years that, that I've ever, that I've spent, you know, uh, I guess this much time with the same person. So it's been five years that that i've ever that i've spent you know uh i guess this much time with the same person so it's been cool it's nothing serious
literally just just just like-minded really cool person nothing serious she's just got you straight
hey guys i'm a content creator here to make you make you help get better content guys
i'm here what did you what did you say the other day macaveli i'm here for the um i'm here for the
2026 nft bull run baby let's go there there's there's serious by the way people that say that
are serious i'm not joking yeah yeah trap can tell us all about it go ahead the day no but the
day he said it it was so perfect because it was like hella bullish in the timeline for entities, which, you know, we love.
Bro, entities have been on the run.
This is our year, man.
Go easy on trap, by the way, bro.
Go easy on trap.
I still want to fucking talk.
I love trap.
Yo, gullible, gullible trap today for y'all.
Y'all got me today.
At least I didn't double down on it.
I took it like it to the tent.
I took it to the tent, you heard?
Word, you didn't double down on it.
Most drug addicts would double down on it and make it sound even fucking worse.
Damn, bro.
Fucking dude.
Yeah, anyway.
So, hold on.
Back to NFTs.
It looks like OMBs are the only ordinals staying alive, okay?
My man ZK.
What is an ordinals?
My man ZK made a Discord post today dog okay you know how quick
i went to go look at my order like my own b what bruh oh man i'm about to put this bitch on a loan
and not pay it back um no i'm just kidding what nah but dude y'all buying ordinales ordinals i
think that was the first time i seen you switch your PFP to in all of these years.
It was like, you know what?
I'm, I'm putting this on.
Between that one and the Ninja, uh, I've really felt something.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm actually going to go back to the young Jeezy profile picture.
Cause that one makes me, it gives me more edge.
And also I get in web to Twitter spaces with that shit.
I don't know how, but I'm in a whole Drake fan club, guys.
You guys might see me pop into these, like, Drake spaces.
But that motherfucker got a cult and a half.
And it's great.
Andrew, you've seen it?
You've seen it?
And Kanye.
Yeah, I'm from Toronto, so I've seen a couple of those spaces and shit.
Yeah.
Andrew lives right next to Drake.
I don't, but funny story, my buddy does his, one of his houses in Toronto does his electrical stuff, the entire house.
So he's gone there multiple times to do stuff.
It's a nice house.
It's a nice house.
That's fucking dope.
Can we finesse him into launching a creator coin and getting the CA early?
There's like Zero Trance who does that, by the way.
Dude, he got steak. He's fucking good. Well, they're actually getting and getting the CA. There's like Zero Trance who does that, by the way. Dude, he got steak.
He's fucking good.
Well, they're actually getting sued by...
They're getting sued now.
They both are.
Yeah, he didn't.
They don't know what's going to happen.
They're going to settle.
It's going to be fine.
Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be fine.
Monica, what's up?
Yo, I heard that the Canadian government's knocking on...
Hold on, Machiavelli.
A woman is speaking.
I was just going to say I have to drop, but I will...
Sorry, that was the Elon mute.
You should be good in a sec.
No, I was just going to say sorry that I do have to drop,
but I'll be happy to invite you to my next creator space
because I do participate in creator spaces.
Anyway.
She's mad at me now.
No, no, no.
I just thought it was so funny.
And they're very good, Monique.
And they're very good.
I love your creator's space.
I would imagine they're amazing.
And I definitely want to pop in, okay?
You have to come to them and do someone.
I will.
I absolutely will.
Please send it to me.
I said a reminder.
And I just want to make a little emphasis to it. Not just because she said this. because I know that was a hot take. I try not to do those too much, guys. But it's just what I'm getting at is a lot of times it's circle jerking. There's a time and a place to go to the fucking drawing board to fucking learn. But then you got to turn that fucking camera on, baby. And most importantly, you got to post. That's what I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Monica, I can't wait for that.
I get it.
No, I just love so much when you said it.
Anyway, appreciate the opportunity to join you.
Not that there's anything wrong with a good circle jerk, by the way.
I just do want to throw that out there.
Any fucking way.
Anyway.
Good night, Monica.
I appreciate you.
Everybody shoot.
Have a good night, buddy.
Shoot her a follow if you guys haven't already.
Anyway, let's continue on.
It's only 8 o'clock.
We made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
so we got a lot of energy.
What?
Is that riding a freaking bomb today?
I mean, is that a thing?
I see posts about U.S. planes flying off
and heading that direction.
Is that a legitimate question?
There is a possibility.
Have you heard of the pizza algorithm that they created?
Educate me, Trap.
Well, there's been the Iranian people have been protesting
and actually became a revolution at this point.
And then Trump has said that he will attack them
if they kept on killing civilians
and not letting them protest in peace. And then there's a lot of people being killed i think maybe
some people are saying 12 000 some people are saying 20 000 and those numbers are nobody really
knows because of this the regime and there's this thing called the the pizza tracker right so
somebody went ahead and created a pizza tracker uh to track the pizza ordering
around the pentagon because apparently when there's a spike in the pizza tracking the pentagon
that means they're getting ready to do some stuff and so about two days ago that was like 100%
spike in all the pizza shops around this so apparently they're getting ready to do some
action but trump did say that he was going to wait today he was not going to go in because
apparently that was a little bit something a little bit better.
But, you know, they want the surprise thing going on.
So they're not going to just say, yeah, we're coming.
So I'm pretty sure they're going to they're going to handle that.
They need they want the system to fall.
They want they want the dictatorship to come down and somebody else to get in.
And they're going to place a puppet in there.
We bring in democracy, you know, the vibes.
They don't have they don't have Rothschild their banks yet
There so we got to take a we got to take up democracy and a new financial system, you know how it goes
Yeah, they already have that dude that's running now for the second president. He kissed the wall already if you need pictures
I got him. So yeah, it's all good
No, he kissed the wall
Yeah, for real bro
I had like if you want videos, I got that's some serious Yeah, bro, McAvely. Yeah, for real, bro. Like, if you want videos, I got videos.
That's some serious shit, bro.
Listen, if they take you to kiss the wall, you in there like swimwear.
Yo, you know what happened with other prisoners, Brody.
Yeah.
Would you kiss the wall?
Fuck no.
Would you kiss the wall?
Fuck no, bro.
You guys say that, but then someone shows you seven figures and you'd probably do it.
Andrew, I can't, bro.
I'll do it for four.
Yeah, some of you guys would do it for literally 10K.
Let's be honest.
Nah.
What type of wall? Is it nasty?
What are we doing?
Bro, you kidding me, right? Talk about the Israeli wall, wall. Yeah, he's trolling. He's trolling. Come on, bro. He's trolling
He's from Miami, he knows
Aren't you from Boca?
No, that's someone else I think. Hey, oh no, I grew up I grew up in like Miami Miami real Miami
305.
Alright.
Take a fucking chill pill, everybody.
Take a fucking chill pill.
Panels. The panelists here.
Give me your top three
2026
token holdings.
And don't just say some fucking shit on CoinMarketCap.
If you don't have your top three,
get the fuck off of Twitter.
But yeah, please, Trap, you start.
Top three, 2026 holdings.
I'll have to...
Comfy in that bitch.
Comfy in that bitch.
Not considering selling at all.
All right, so we're not talking like the top coins, right?
Like the usual, the blue chips.
Talking about opportunity?
No, your top three in your portfolio that you're happy and right right now
My top three is definitely towel for the ai. It's definitely a super cheap buy right now
i've been accumulating a little bit of uh, uh, i've been accumulating a little bit of uh, I arrow that um
The the base kind of like the uniswap from base because i think that base has a really good chance to to pop off and then believe it or not i hate to say this but you know i opened that
doll that doge long and i got smacked a long time ago when the market was going down so i want to
i want to get into doge again i feel like i want to establish a position here just because
it's an easy three four x like as soon as the market bounces back so those are the I've been concentrating on those trying to create a little bit of a long swing position on those
Andrew
Okay, I'm gonna give two that are
Probably not gonna be common and then one that's probably gonna be common hype for obvious reasons
Probably gonna go with wreckekt and then Pengu.
And I have a third
one or a fourth one and I think
Pump might not be a bad decision
either, to be honest.
I think they made a bid today
or yesterday for a pretty sizable amount.
So it's not a bad idea.
Dude, his tweet
was yesterday of reposting his tweet from last year saying he meant Q4 of 2026.
That dude's funny as fuck.
Um, yeah, I don't know.
I don't, I don't, I still don't know why anybody would launch on Pump aside from,
it doesn't look like there's anybody else competing with the creator fees yet.
But yeah, I still don't, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know anything about anything.
But those are good picks.
X Factor, go ahead.
I mean, I'm going to keep it very not sexy.
Bitcoin, Ethereum.
And we'll go with TRX.
Random ghost pick TRX
I haven't fucking heard of TRX in a fucking while
I said I had to throw in a random one in there right
I'm surprised you didn't see Monero
what the
yeah it's funny because like the Monero
the Monero like narrative of privacy is like around
again yeah you look at the chart monero's run up every every cycle and then every cycle has a
privacy narrative that takes place some people that are here for the first time or second time
think this is unique it's it's not it's kind of recycled it's still gonna it's still gonna run
and like you can get it and get into. But Monero had like 27 cycles already.
That thing is going on.
Yeah, I know, but look at the chart.
It's ran every single cycle.
The privacy narrative literally is around every single cycle
based off of what the chart looks like.
So, I don't know.
Make me an offer to do your thing.
But it's not a new thing.
a not a new thing jonah happy wednesday jonah can you hear me hello you're good okay cool cool
yeah verizon verizon got nuked by the iranians probably because my cell service has been all day
um how you doing?
Yeah, I was going to say, somebody just put that on Instagram.
I think there was some sort of outage or some shit.
Yeah, but it wasn't for just Verizon,
which means some Ayatollah somewhere was a little upset.
That or the Russians.
There's still an outage, by the way.
I have Verizon. I'm on Wi-Fi.
Yeah, I'm on Wi-Fi now, too too but it's like oh fucking jesus wasn't the
country i would have picked yeah but uh anyway i'm dude i'm fucking i'm psyched i had a long
ass day not only did i have to step away from my phone for four hours which was fucking
not gonna lie i'm addicted to my phone but i had to take my dog the vet and now uh shit bro like part
of our app is going live today and i'm fucking psyched we got youtube integrated and the on
chain stuff officially works today we got our wallet spun up it's everything's fucking clean
we like everyone who signs up has a coinbase wallet it's it's insane to me jonah three tokens
profit was asking people in the space three tokens
you'd make a bid on today what is it usually got good picks i mean like bitcoin obviously because
no not the obvious ones not the obvious ones oh like out of nowhere no i mean like someone like
don't make like don't like pick you know don't pick the large way it was supposed to be the
specific question was three for the year that you're comfortable with holding for the year
right exactly it could be bitcoin if that's what he wants to say andrew really coins don't give The specific question was three for the year that you're comfortable with holding for the year.
Right, exactly.
It could be Bitcoin if that's what he wants to say, Andrew.
Three coins I would hold for the year.
Don't give him a cop, X-Factor.
You guys are both from Florida, but relax.
Come on, X-Factor.
Go ahead, Sean.
Three coins I would hold for the year. Pingu, Ape, and XRP.
Hype token, because if you're going to bet on any leveraged market, they're the best.
So hype.
In terms of a chain, I don't want to hold any of these chain tokens.
Not a single one.
Because they've all turned into useless commodities used to use an app on chain.
I have to really think about this. Fuck.
Like this has to be, this has to, this is something, all right, so something regarding
RWAs. I don't know what it would be because I'd have to do more research, but something
regarding synthetic gold, silver, palladium, all that stuff, plus something related to like RWA,
Pokemon cards, One Piece cards, Power World cards. I would back one of those because there is a stuff plus something related to like rwa pokemon cards one piece cards power world cards i would
back one of those because there is a demand for that regardless of the bull or the bear
um probably pump fun i mean for a whole year uh maybe a whole year maybe
yeah you know what i take a bet on pump on Pum for a whole year, for one year. Yeah, those three.
Because it's the best casino in the world, right? So I want one casino investment, one RWA investment, and one whatever out of their investment for leveraged markets.
for leverage markets like i don't know pump fun will be stay the best but i don't
there's not really any other casino that this fund that is this fungible that i could invest in
because like the way that their structure works is that one day their icm one day their ccm one
day their fucking memes again the next day they're out of whatever the fuck predictions like they
they move with whatever the meta is because they own the liquidity right now so that's
why i picked pump if you want the funny answer it's because he's jewish so like he's always
going to be in power yeah that's what i that's what i wanted personally so
we you know you know how we grew, anybody had a swear jar in their house?
You know, mine didn't last long.
We're Spanish.
It lasted three days, but, um, I wish we had a jar for all the fucking racial slurs that
we make, because fuck, we suck.
Fucking suck.
But right, it's free speech.
That's what the fuck you guys would tell me.
That's what you tell me.
Jonah, congrats on the launch.
Excited to see.
Excited to see everything.
I think 2026 is really, really the year of
not only the sick-ass product,
but the marketing slash person,
people behind the products. Somebody made a really good tweet the other day or today i forgot their name um basically saying how you know in web 2
you got people that are highly qualified for all types of roles in our space here and they won't apply because they think that they're not
crypto native uh but they're very fucking organized or they have great business development skills
uh fill in any other important role needed at a startup and then startups are putting oh we need
a crypto native person and then you got your fucking favorite reply guy with the you know 227 credit score
living out of his car with like no skill set but maybe a community of 300 people that like their
posts oh i got this i let me do that job get hired never made as much money in their fucking life
blow it and this poor startup goes back to square one when they should have just hired
the fucking Web 2 person. And you're probably like, damn, Profits, why are you shitting on Web 3 people?
I'm not. I'm not. But this is the world where people are underqualified for these positions.
And yo, I'll argue and say that a lot of really fucking sick products have taken the back seat
to mediocre products because those mediocre products
or people slash companies, you know, did the proper things to get the usership. And we all
know nothing matters in this world besides that, because you can have the best tech, you can have
everything amazing, the best UI. You need users, you need distribution. So I'm really bullish on
all the, on not only the cool things being built this year because
Let's be real. You got AI now you got vibe coding. Everybody and their mom is making an app
It's it's not about inventive in my opinion. It's about how good how much attention
Can you fucking get how much interest?
Do do you have on the internet? How much social proof do you have?
I was watching something.
I'm going to give you guys some fucking alpha.
Here we go.
Free alpha for you.
There's this course called Masterclass.
I don't recommend going to buy it.
However, they are, I think.
I have it.
There you go.
I think it's one of the most coolest courses
because you got people from all sectors and industries that have made fucking
waves um explaining in depth uh and in like a two-hour video of what they did and how they did
it right i was watching kim k segment it's on it's so some of them are for free on youtube
so just type in kim k marketing Masterclass, it'll pop up.
And I'm talking about not the obvious like post, blah, blah, blah, just like the real psychological
stuff that I think is important. And I feel like anybody vibe coding anything, no matter how high
level, basic, whatever the fuck it is, it'll take the fuck off. You need to become a great marketer
or have somebody on your team who is a great
marketer if you feel you can embody that.
But anyway, that's my little fucking rant of the day.
I think this is the year of, there's going to be a lot of the same shit out there, but
the true testament will be, you know, who can really get that attention and keep it,
right?
Who can really get that attention and keep it?
That's what I really think.
But anything you guys want to talk about or mention before we start to wrap up? We do have a
few more shows for the rest of the week. I got a couple of guests coming from the base ecosystem.
Like I said, BZ is officially going live on base tomorrow. We hit our largest month, I think last
month. I think it was over 15 million in volume. You guys are fucking killing it.
Shout out to everybody that has signed up.
I've been yelling to sign up for BZ for two fucking years now.
And yeah, it's been awesome to see.
It's been amazing to be a part of such a hardworking team and be able to say, you know, I've helped
this awesome company go zero to one.
Definitely excited for what's to come.
And like I said, if you are into collectibles or just on chain at all, I don't see why you don't have an account yet, to be honest.
Link is in bio.
Andrew, you threw your hand up.
Did you want to mention anything?
Go ahead.
Yeah, probably.
Do you guys do any collabs with collectibles with like whatnot and shit on the Web2 side, you know, that stuff?
stuff or it's not feasible so i was i was i've been in my founder's years for years for that
Or it's not feasible?
So I've been in my founder's ears for years for that.
the real problem with that is uh unfortunately as a seller on whatnot if you promote something
that's not there like a secondary site or marketplace they'll ban the account
so we've been getting creative with like giving away um like stuff to streamers or like free
plays or whatever it is uh we do have a lot of activations with like
different web 2 and web 3 streamers from like overseas to the u.s a lot of it on instagram i
would highly recommend checking out the bz instagram account um so to answer your question
there that's kind of where we've hit like a wall because again if you're a whatnot seller you're
not trying to like fucking yeah you know outsource your people or whatever because then they'll just ban you it's like a part of the rules but yeah to answer
your question that's kind of been you know what's happening on that end what's the most expensive
item that you guys have sold or that's been purchased or or whatever on the platform itself
like dollar wise um six figs though right probably six figs yeah yeah for sure one of the first biggest ones was when we were still on blast
it was a 90 000 uh uh one piece card i think that's crazy that's definitely up like at least
like 20 now if not more yeah if not more yeah yeah i actually bought with all the blast i i don't know
i didn't give a fuck for it i was just just using the platform. But I forgot I bought all this one piece.
And I'm like, why am I getting offers on this random card?
And I'm like, oh, shit, this is why.
I literally got it for like $37.
And it's like 500 bucks now.
Fucking crazy. That's great.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Those things performed super well the last like, I think, nine months or something.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very intense.
Very intense.
But yo, Andrew, appreciate you coming through today.
I've seen Andrew's probably one of the most consistent faces, aside from Jonah and a few others here, that I've seen in this space and just, you know, work his way up and truly provide value for his community and his following.
And it's been great to see, man.
Congrats on everything that you're doing.
Thank you for participating today.
It means a lot.
Appreciate it.
You've been hosting these spaces for like four years.
So I'll give the compliment right back.
Literally four years or maybe a little bit longer at this point, which is kind of nuts.
You see a lot of the spaces, though, is kind of like pivot in, pivot out, especially when
the bear market comes around.
The market's a little bit slow, but profit's been doing these things literally with the
same name for like fucking four years.
So there's definitely proof in the pudding.
What's a bear market?
I don't know what that is.
We don't know what that is. I don't know that don't speak that language
I you know, it's when I say four years to I'm like what the fuck. Yeah, it was fucked
We're definitely leaning towards the streaming. I'm literally like probably think about it
We we were here since nft started and when gary v used to join a space. There's be a 5 000 people in there
Dude the days.
The days.
I remember those days, bro.
Oh my God, so much fucking fun.
I was going to mention, yeah, so the streaming is definitely the next route.
I mean, let's be real.
That's the only thing AI can't manipulate at the moment.
And it's just pretty obvious at this point.
So yeah, thank you for the kind words, Andrew.
And, again, thank you for tuning in.
And everybody else, too, just listening, reposting, liking, commenting, engaging, participating.
Yo, hating.
Even those other listeners.
I love you, all three of you.
Thank you so much.
Seriously, I pray for you every fucking day.
Like, literally, thank you so much.
But so much more to come.
There's, I think, as a creator or anybody that is just interested in talking about the things that excites them.
Dude, there's so much opportunity for you.
This is the year of the creator.
Like, I really, really feel that.
If you know for a fact you have something that you like talking about or you like to engage with, yo, capture it.
Capture it and just put it out there.
Like, if you have goals or if you're like, oh, you know, I need this.
I feel like so many creators get stuck because they're used to it making a certain amount of money a couple of years ago.
I'm sorry.
Newsflash.
If you don't have basic business acumen, a fucking seasoned LinkedIn profile.
And even some of this shit doesn't work.
You know how many applications I put out in 2021?
Hundreds.
Nobody gave a fuck.
Nobody gave a fuck.
I put out a few a couple of years later, and then the connections and the people that I met,
I was able to ping, hey, I applied here.
What do you think?
Can you let them know? then opportunities started to roll in I hate to say this but none of this
shit matters until you matter and and that's the biggest difference in this space unless you have
some sort of web2 stacked background that can sell you for you right um I see so many creators
get stagnant because they were once making three, four, five, six,
$7,000 a month, which first of all, never made that money in their life before this.
And there's nothing wrong with this.
I hope when I say this, it doesn't sound like cocky.
I'm getting, I'm saying this because once you depend on something and it goes away,
your energy and your excitement for creating or whatever you did to get that dwindles.
I don't care who you are. If you're a
human and you were used to making money and doing something to do that, and then it goes away,
it is not as easy to get that same drive. And that is, you guys probably think I'm a little weird,
but I literally knew in the first two years of doing spaces, was like all right I know I'm gonna make money here
I don't know how exactly but I know for a fact I'm not in a rush you know how much money I turned
down the first two years of running spaces the first two years the old person that used to be
here on the space running it with me yo you want to get this deal yo you want no no no I'm good
I'm good no no maybe that no no and it was because I didn't want to do this shit for
the wrong reasons I never wanted to do this shit for the wrong reasons I wanted to be able to fire
up and have the same energy whether it was a monetized space a paid space sponsor whatever
the fuck and now now to this point the same energy applies whether I'm getting a hundred thousand
dollars to fucking spark up a space or $0.
Which, by the way, no one's paid me $100,000 yet for a space.
But, you know, we can dream.
So I just want to make that point, man.
You are valuable.
Everybody deserves to make money.
Everybody deserves to eat and to earn.
But please know your place in this fucking, in this food chain.
And, you know, those quotes where you see, do so, what is it?
Do so good they can't ignore you.
All that shit is value.
You gotta fucking be delusional.
You gotta make the fucking real estate.
You gotta make the relevance.
Shanice Best was not relevant at one point in time.
I was getting no likes. I was getting no engagement.
And to this day, who the fuck is that but guess what
at any point in time that shit changes but that only happens when you stay consistent
i don't know what the fuck eric thomas got into me today andrew go ahead uh probably to be fair
though you got like one of the best jobs in the space because like you're pretty much like
it's in my head like one of the ct leads
for bz if not that plus then some so like that's kind of every creator's dream and it should be
where like you're not just working alongside the brand to make content you actually have like
operational skills or you can do something other than just fucking tweet and host spaces ideally
that's the setup if you can find that gig uh encourage people to find that gig
and then and then close in on it probably you know sign an employee contract or sign a fucking
uh whatever you know an independent contract and i see whatever it is but like that's the deal
ideal setup there's there's something that like we're looking at the other day and it's kind of
bearish but i'll kind of announce it uh jonah and i were looking at some numbers cpm data cost per
mile on on the crypto creators in the space,
the KOLs, whatever the fuck you want to call these people now.
The average CPM is like 300 bucks or a little bit higher.
And that's not sustainable.
People are spending $300 for a thousand views.
That's not great.
At some point, the music is going music is gonna stop now is deal flow
gonna stop completely no but it'll probably dry up a bit um and the positive news on the back end
of the shitty news is that ads still don't fucking work in crypto which is actually creator's best
friend because the moment ads start working and i don't know if it's on x or on youtube or on
tiktok but the moment ads are working for all products uh creators make less money so until
that point enjoy but at some point the market does uh music slows down or at least turns the volume
down um that cpm data is not uh totally sustainable but you know keep grinding not well said yeah like I don't know it's it's
I know it's objective for everybody but um things I think just as a space we if we didn't fixate so
much on things that really really didn't matter then we would like individually everyone's off
for themselves right but I just think a lot lot of the stuff gets overlooked because of shit that we overfix it on.
Whereas in other industries, you think other YouTubers are like, hey, guys, let me show you how to get some views.
You guys got to know when grifty shit is going on and then just reroute your energy and go somewhere else.
But I don't know.
Root, what is your hand up for?
Oh, shit.
Yeah, the topic was a long ago. But about the motherfucking vibe coders. I'm one of them
Please audit your shit you little fuckers because if you don't audit your shit, you're not legit
So it doesn't matter what kind of product you do and do spend on fucking marketing and everything else
But audit your shit because you pay more
But you have a little bit more, you know, I saying it's better to be safe than sorrow and later on and you know it's it's crypto something one exploit can
take your whole career away you know what i'm saying that's why i want to add that's thank you
very much well said sir well said um quick announcement again if you guys haven't jump
into the exposed media community it's right there at the top. Nice little button. You'll get notified on all the spaces. We will be back tomorrow for another segment. Um, and I have a few special guests coming through and you know, it's going to be good. It's going to be another good vibe. I think today's biggest takeaway for everybody, I mean, at least for me, is our ecosystem is moving very, very fast. Our government is
obviously involved, regardless of manipulation or not. We should all be happy that we're positioned.
And furthermore, we should be educating ourselves as much as possible. You'll get educated about
your own city, even if you're
able to, right? Like, don't want to get too political here, but like this shit matters.
You know, this is a lot of, this really, really, really matters. And so, um, I think 2026 is,
is going to be really, really good for anybody that's building, that's executing, that's a part
of good builds. I think there's going to be a handful of NFT collections to not only necessarily pump in price, but pump in value and give their community members exactly what they want when it comes to becoming or rather being a part of a community, of a cult, right, of a project.
Right? Of a project.
So I'll see everybody tomorrow.
Make sure you guys like and comment and repost all my tweets.
Because if not, I'm going to be very upset.
I'll see everybody tomorrow.
Andrew, Emily, Machiavelli, Chespi, X-Factor, CryptoCam, Jonah.
Thank you guys all for pulling up.
And have a good evening.
Drink water.
And text your loved ones and remind them that you love them.
Peace.

trading, then it's doing volume and you get paid on volume, the fees, you're building ETH position and you're building, in this case, I'm using XYZ coin position.
So I'm growing the ownership stake in my creation, but then I could take the ETH and sell it.
And so I could monetize the creation as well while still increasing my ownership stake in what I created.
The discussion around the evolving landscape of crypto, including the rise of AI and vibe coding, reflects current trends that are shaping the future of the industry.
And so I could monetize the creation as well while still increasing my ownership stake in what I created.
So that to me was just fascinating in 2024.
When I saw that happen, I'm like, oh my gosh,
