And together we rise, and we're taking back our soul.
And we're falling in love with you.
And we're all fighting for you.
And we're all fighting for you.
And we're all fighting for you.
And we're all fighting for you.
I Now bring you our host, DiRevolution.
And welcome to the Communi- community's Web Three Space.
We hope everyone has got it, everybody as well.
afternoon, happy Saturday and welcome to the community, community is web through space.
We hope everyone has got everybody as well. Thank you all for joining us. It does normally
take about five, sometimes 10 minutes for everyone to join us and get in and get up
on stage. So I appreciate the patience for everyone that's dropped down into that bottom
right corner, hit that purple button and share the space. We really appreciate you guys.
Do apologize for my voice. I'm still getting better. I've been unwell for a while. If no
one has ever heard my voice before, just pretend like it's normal and we are all good. But
I will give a quick breakdown of how we normally conduct our spaces. First of all, we get all
of our team on stage and then we have our guests on stage. We do our spaces a little
bit different. Normally spaces will have between, you know, five and 15 projects come up and
speak. We feature one or two guests and we have a two hour space giving each guest the
opportunity to speak for up to 60 minutes. If you're not used to that, it does sound
like a lot, but trying to break down a full ecosystem in a five to 10 minute window is
near impossible. So it's a great way to have a nice chilled, relaxed vibe as you talk about
your journey in Web3, break down your ecosystem, gives people an opportunity to check out all
your information, join your Discord, check out your website, go and take a look at your
amazing artwork on OpenSea or BrokenSea as you'd call it, unless it's on Rarible or even
if it's on Aurora's Exchange. But in the meantime, thank you everyone for joining. That's
how we conduct our spaces. The guests don't have to utilise the full 60 minutes. Just
know that you have that time to have a nice chilled vibe with us and break down your ecosystem.
So first of all, we'll just go through the room and we will welcome all the team on stage
and then we will welcome our guests for tonight. So first of all, we have Tricky Buddha. How
are we doing, sir? It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys, sponsored by Shibu Society.
Yo, what's up fam? I'd like to see the community communities coming together again on a wonderful
Saturday. Happy to be here. Yeah, shout out to all the legends in the room. Make sure you give
it a retweet and tag some friends. We are going to have an awesome interview here with the gangs
in New York. Welcome for showing up. I appreciate you being here. We're pretty much right off the
get-to. That's great. Love seeing the community coming together. So yeah, Rev, nice to hear you
doing a little bit better and happy to be here. Thank you, sir. It's definitely nice to start
filing today. You know, when you hit that peak point in the next day, anything, there's light
at the end of the tunnel again. So yeah, looking forward to going back to being a little bit
unhealthy now. I'm just kidding, but thank you, bro. Yes, I appreciate you, Tricky, and shout out
to everyone for joining us tonight. We really do appreciate your time. We definitely look forward
to speaking to gangs in New York tonight, which we will get to these legends in just a moment,
and also a massive shout out as well to Trey for making the connection. As always, he always brings
amazing people to us. He's an absolute icon. He's in many communities, always showing love and support,
so massive shout out to you for that, Trey. We're definitely grateful to have you on the
co-team, my friend. We also have the bacon sandwich. How are we doing, bacon? Boys and girls,
Saturday, again, doing the thing that we love, coming together to talk about people's projects
and that. But yeah, good stuff. Absolutely. It's definitely flying by this time stuff.
It's a good job that we don't do time in Web3 because we're all in different parts of the world,
different time zones and all that. It's just, as Tricky says, it's just GM 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. We're also really looking forward to the announcements we've got for
later as well. Yeah, definitely. I'm really excited about our announcements. Definitely
looking forward to that. We also have Kristian Abbott from the Stray Dogs Club. The dog is official.
It's community communities and the Shibu society. How are we doing, Kristian? Yeah, happy Saturday.
I'm here again, still working in the background, but I'm listening in. Always working in the
background. Your background might as well just be your foreground. Well, you know my background. You
know my background's my wallpaper, don't you? Yeah, same here. You made my background. I've got a
very busy wallpaper background. Yeah, you have. For anyone that's listening, were Kristian's
background and his work is his foreground. Don't let him confuse you on that one.
Yeah, let's go. All 27 people that is Kristian's background. I don't know how I feel about that.
Nice one, Kristian. We also have Kripto in the building. How are we doing, Tony?
Hey, Rev. I'm doing good. Thanks. Looking forward to this space. Thanks everyone for joining.
Let's go. Absolutely. Let's go. And we also have Trey, the man himself. Are you at work, Trey? Or
can you speak to us, bro? No, I'm here. I'm just getting ready for the space. I got my cookies.
You know, I'm good to go. Looking forward to hearing what the gangs bring.
Let's go. You have to have your mic on muted though while you eat them cookies. You can't
keep that to yourself. I bet absolutely everyone was like, please don't.
But without further ado, we do have more team members who will be joining us shortly. As I said,
time zones and sometimes it does take a minute for people to get in. We appreciate everyone being
here. But our guests for tonight are gangs of New York. So gangs of New York, welcome. Thank you for
joining us. Happy Saturday. Hey, how you doing, man? Happy Saturday. And, you know, thanks for
having us. We appreciate it. And I apologize for, you know, the confusion last week. It was just
crazy. Crazy time. We had about probably three different spaces going on. But there's no
excuses, man. We do apologize for that. And it'll never happen again. Well, man, you're here, dude.
You know what I mean? That's it. You're good. You're healthy. You're all is well. We don't
mind. Honestly, we just love being together. We love talking all things web three. So, you know,
it's a shame you couldn't make it, but everything happens for a reason. And I'm sure tonight it's
going to be absolutely epic. So, you know, thank you for joining us. Yeah, no problem. And whenever
you're ready, you know, for us to go, we'll be here. You know, we got General up on stage. He's
our COO. You know, I don't know if he wants to introduce himself a little bit. Absolutely. How
are we doing, buddy? Welcome, welcome. Great. Thanks for having us. Yeah, my name is Nick Weigel.
I am the COO of IFP Labs. We have our, our Discord, our X page down there in the audience.
Feel free while you guys are in here throughout this space. If you like what we're listening to,
go into the, into the Discord link in there. And that's how you're going to get in. We do have a
time sensitive matter in front of us. Unfortunately, we're kind of under the gun here and we are
shutting down our whitelist tonight at eight, eight, yeah, eight 30 p.m. And so we're going
to close that down tonight. And then tomorrow night is mint. So we're opening at eight, eight,
eight p.m. Eastern time tomorrow night. And so we have a space going on before that. So we're
really excited. But if you guys like what you hear tonight, that's how you get in. So without
further ado, I'll pass it off to John. Hey, real quick. General, we actually extended that. It will
be two p.m. tomorrow to get your whitelist in, you know, because the dev don't really need a whole
lot of time to, you know, get this CSV file loaded up into the smart contract. So we extended it a
little bit to give people a little more time. You know, I don't want to rush anybody is more than
we have to. I love it. That's great news. So all y'all don't have to be a stress my bad for putting
that on you. Panic over everyone. Calm down. Everyone calm. I'm just kidding. No, that's
awesome. But, you know, thank you both for joining us. We appreciate it. And like we said, you know,
we've all got so much going on in Web3 alone, never mind the IRL. So it's, you know, don't ever
worry about being late, not making it. We all do it. It happens to the best of us. We're just
super excited about learning about what you guys do, getting to know you a little better. How we
normally start it is we normally ask you to give us an introduction of who you are and then how
you found Web3 and then what it was about Web3 that sort of got you to build a project in this
industry. So if it makes it any easier for you, if you could just do that, that would be awesome.
Thank you. Yeah, a hundred percent, man. So my name is John Williams from, you know, a little
town in upstate New York and have been a day trader, you know, probably for about the last
10 years. I day traded stocks for about eight years up until I found the NFT space two years ago.
It'll be two years this month. One of my friends introduced me to it, you know, introduced me to
crypto. He said, hey, man, you got to check this, you know, you got to check this stuff out. I made
a whole bunch of money off it, you know, that. So obviously I'm intrigued. So so I check it out,
man, you know, do some research, you know, and, you know, I come to the conclusion that, you know,
basically my first thought of Web3 was, you know, like from the research I did and, you know,
looking online and, you know, my. OK, so was like, let's say you got a palace in Paris, right?
You know, this these were my thoughts anyway, like, you know, anybody, you know,
whereas like before, you know, only the elites could have a stake in, you know, something like
that. And, you know, from from what I gathered, you know, Web3 was a place, you know, to give the
little guy a chance at something like that, you know, you know, where they tokenized the palace
and everybody buys, you know, a little share of it, you know, through this tokenization, you know,
and that was the idea that I had, you know, and I still think, you know, to this day, you know,
that's that's kind of what Web3 was supposed to be about. And it's supposed to be about, you know,
putting, you know, maybe house deeds on the block chain and car titles, you know, just just
utilizing it for, you know, everyday stuff to make it more secure and, you know, have have a
little longevity. You know, so I jumped in feet first, you know, I started on Solano, I started
on Cardano with NFTs, you know, in their ecosystems. But it was a little too slow pace for me. And,
you know, then black chains. And so I jumped into ETH, you know, and I was right at the tail end of
the bull market. And, you know, it was when the grind was was still, you know, the grind was real
back then. You know, so I found this community called APians. So I jumped into APians, man. And,
you know, when I said the grind was real, it was real. I mean, it was when chats were going, you
know, a mile a minute, you'd lose what you said in a matter of seconds, you know, six, seven different
conversations at once grinding for a whiteless spot. You know, and I was kind of a loose cannon
back then. You know, I still am, but I have it under wraps, you know, ever since I started working
in space and, you know, I had had a little more professionalism. So, you know, I quickly, you know,
made a name for myself. You know, I was I was that guy that was always speaking up, you know,
saying what was on everybody else's mind. You know, I didn't I wasn't scared to say stuff to
me. You know, and just so happened that, you know, the founder of APians,
you don't like that about me, you know, so I went to work on the team as a moderator.
Excuse me. And, you know, I think over a couple months, it was unpaid at first, you know,
I was just trying to get my footing, you know, get my foot in the door. And, you know, after a couple
months or a month or so, I came to him and I said, hey, listen, man, you know, I'm doing a lot of
work. And, you know, I feel I've earned my place on the team. You know, I think it's, you know,
time to start getting a paycheck. So, you know, he agreed, you know, it wasn't a huge amount,
you know, a couple hundred hours a month, but I was grateful, you know, so and then, you know,
a couple months later, you know, he ended up making me, you know, a partner of APians,
and I own 5% of, you know, the company. So, you know, he was a young guy, you know, he was, you
know, maybe early 20s, you know, he was a little inexperienced. And, you know, he made a lot of
decisions in the beginning that kind of set us up, you know, to fail. And by the time, you know,
he realized that, you know, he could use our help, the community's help, and the rest of the
team's help, you know, I think it was just kind of too late, you know, so that the holders were
wore out, man, they were they were tired of being screwed over, and things just fell apart,
you know, so I ended up resigning, you know, and then I went over to Alpha. And I've been working
over at Alpha for, geez, probably the last seven months, I actually just resigned on February 1.
And, you know, I learned a lot there. You know, I ran that community with Lady Boss. And, you know,
we had a good time, we had fun, you know, I learned a lot. And, you know, over the last two years,
you know, obviously, like everybody, you know, that's here for the right reasons, you know,
you see issues, you know, a lot of issues in the space. And one of the first issues I had noticed
was, you know, like I explained, you know, like, employees being underpaid, employees not being
paid at all. You know, and it was really bad back then. You know, even devs were being stiffed and
not paid, and, you know, designers, moderators, community managers, and, you know, my thoughts are,
you know, it's these, these individuals, you know, the community managers, the moderators,
the devs, designers that that really make the project, you know, without them, there is nothing,
you know, and they were being taken advantage of, you know, so basically, my thoughts were,
you know, let's, let's start, you know, a full scale employment agency for, you know, exclusively
for web three, you know, we bring the employees to our platform, you know, that way, the employees
or employers have to come to us, you know, and then and then we set the rules, you know,
because that's how it's supposed to be, you know, and I wholeheartedly believe that.
So, you know, that's where all this, you know, kind of started, you know, the games in New York
IFT labs, you know, it was only teams at one point, you know, and, you know, another issue that I had
noticed was, you know, you have these founders, CEOs, you know, they meant they get hundreds of
thousands of dollars, you know, back then, apiens case millions. And they just, you know, they get
these big heads, they get these small heads, you know, they feel like, you know, they don't have to,
you know, own up to anything, you know, because they're this big shot. And, you know, which is why
we formed a board, you know, it's why I decided to go the route of a board, you know, for teams
at that time. You know, because I'm human, I'm not exempt from that, you know, who knows,
it could happen, you know, which is why I wanted to set it up so it didn't, you know, so I went on
and I found, you know, individuals like general individuals like lady boss, Gil, you know,
boss with Adam, Randy, you know, we have our dev, our designer, Mr. Snowcat, you know, we have a
wonderful board, like minded individuals, you know, people that have proved themselves over the last
couple years, you know, as people with integrity, people that you can trust, you know, and like I
said, they proved it, you know, it's not just talk, they've proved it, they've been in the space for
years, they've, they've been the same person for years, and they proved themselves, you know,
and these are the type of people that I wanted to surround myself with, you know, people that will
hold me accountable, people that I'll hold accountable, you know, and we challenge each other,
you know, because that's huge for me, you know, I want to be challenged, you know, if somebody
feels that I'm doing something wrong, I want to be challenged, you know, because I'm the type of
person that'll take a step back and, you know, I'll look at what you're telling me, you know, and if
I agree with you and, you know, I tend to be able to, you know, put my pride aside and, you know,
see what you're seeing, you know, look at it from your side of things, you know, and it comes easy
to me, just because of some things I've went through in my life, and, you know, I've had some
struggles in my life, and, you know, I tend to forget sometimes, you know, it's not as easy for
other individuals, you know, which is why I've made it a point to, you know, be able to put myself in
other people's shoes and, you know, see things from their eyes. So, like I said, it's really
important to me, you know, to have be surrounded with individuals like myself, man. And, you know,
that's just a little bit about me. You know, we were really just we're in it to, you know, to help,
you know, where we're doing the bear, you know, basically taking back the bare minimum that we can,
you know, to still keep sustaining and, you know, giving out as much as we possibly can,
well into the future. We just want to help the little guy because we've been the little guy,
you know, for the last couple of years, we've been in these communities where people are getting
scammed, robbed, robbed, not paid, you know, so, you know, we just finally got sick of it.
And, you know, here we are. So I hope, you know, that explains a little bit about who I am and,
you know, why we're doing what we're doing. Yep, that's exactly it. And then I met him
through avians. And again, my name is Nick Weigel. I was in the United States Marine Corps.
I did four years in their honor, really got out and then went to school and got a bachelor's
degree in business management, a minor in human resources. I married my beautiful wife, Lauren,
eight years ago now, and we have four children together. I adopted her two oldest kids. And then
we had two together. So we started a life here in Ohio and it's been beautiful. I do renovations on
hotels nationwide. And that's what my company does. So we work with Hilton's and Marriott's.
And I work with the franchisees every day and really big projects and stuff like that. So that's
what I do daily. But I came into this space a little over two, almost three years ago.
And I came into a project called Babes Clan and I was told by my buddy, I got to get into this NFT
stuff. And I'm like, all right, I don't even know what it is. And he's like, well, you got to try,
you got to trust me. And I'm like, all right. It was back when Ethereum was expensive, man.
It was like almost four grand for one. And, you know, this NFT wanted three, basically a full
Ethereum. And I'm like, damn, I got to pay $4,000 for this NFT. This is crazy. Like, I don't even
know why I would want to do that. And it sounds really stupid. But he's like, no, you're going
to make money and, you know, generational wealth and all this stuff was talked. I'm like, oh,
this is great. Like, that's exactly what I'm looking for. So I believed it and I went in on
it and I got in on it and, you know, it worked out. Everything was going great. This project was
rocketing, you know, but they told me I had to stake my NFTs. I'm like, oh, okay. They said,
you're going to get max rewards if you do this. I said, all right. So I did it. And then, you know,
they locked it up and I couldn't get my assets. Well, then the project shot up to like 10 ETH
and I couldn't even sell one. So I was just sitting there with these things and, you know,
come to find out they ended up, you know, rugging later on down the road and we lost a bunch of
money. And, you know, throughout my time, I kind of traded some stuff and made my money back
throughout that project. So, you know, I don't feel bad for me. I've been really smart in my
investments and my strategies and how I go through Web 3. And, you know, we kind of want to teach that
to everybody of how we've navigated and how we've made money in this space, even when there's not
money to be made. We're really crafty and we can find ways. And, you know, there's opportunities
out there if you know what to look for. So, you know, that's a little bit about us. You know,
I myself, we started this board got together. There's 11 of us. And we started this company
called IFT Labs, which is Infinite Finance and Disruption Labs. And we did it because we want to
make money and we want to, you know, be vocal about it and have some fun while we're doing it.
And so we knew that we were going to be the community. We're the board. So we don't have
one founder in this that's like running the show. John likes to pretend he does. But we all know
that we all have a very important role in what's going on. And it's been really impressive being
in my position in the company, just seeing everybody do what they do and do it well.
You know, just giving them their flowers all the time because they're so damn good at what they do.
This has been under a time crunch. We did this all within a couple of months.
We put everything together. We got the business started. We got the LLC. We got everything going.
And we're all doing this on our own, just in our own times and coming together as one. And so it's
been really, really incredible witness. And so we're getting ready to do our mint tomorrow. And
so I'll let John get back into that. Or if you guys have more that you want to talk about before
we get into, you know, what we are and what we do. Yeah. Well, first of all, that is incredible.
Sorry, tricky. Go on, bro. I was just going to say, hey, this is great. I love the background.
And I think a lot of us can relate to that. I was like, you're getting getting paid in web
three. What's that? But this is awesome. So before we continue, though, there's a little issue.
There's only like half the retweets on the room. So everybody get down to that purple button and
retweet the room if you haven't. Let's push this out. It's recorded space. If you want to take that
retweet off afterwards, that's all good. But this way, you know, we can get it out and let people
know what we're doing here. Let's go. Let's grow. You know, that's all. That's all.
Yeah, let's go. And that's amazing. And, you know, fair plates for, you know, coming together like
that, because it's not easy. You know, we absolutely love people and togetherness and community.
But people are very complicated. You know, we're working on different time zones all over the world,
different backgrounds. And, you know, we say this in most spaces. But what we love about web three
is it doesn't matter what your background is, how much money you've got, what religion you are,
where you're from, what your age is, how big or small your family are. It's just about working
together to create something that benefits everyone involved. And you can't go wrong when
everyone's got the same mindset, a vision that's incredible. And as long as we see value in it,
then it's got value. And the only way you will fail is if you see that as an option.
And yeah, what a great background story you both got. And it's great how you've come together.
And, you know, we're really excited to learn more about you guys. So, you know, we appreciate the
backstory. And having four children, as soon as you said that, I thought I can definitely relate
to that, because me and my wife have got five children, and it's definitely a challenge. So
to be in web three and have children, every credit to you, my friend.
Yeah, it definitely takes a lot to have the kids, but I have a wonderful wife that, you know,
supports me in the back end. And, you know, that's very important, too, in my world. So
I got to give her her credit. Yeah, I'll choose on that. Every great man is an even greater woman,
that's what they say. And we'd be lost without them. But that's the beauty of, you know,
a great team, you know, coming together and helping each other. And, you know, that's what
life's about. And, you know, we lose sight of that sometimes, especially with, you know, the way that
the world is, you know, we're born into a system we didn't create to do things we don't want to do
for people that don't give two shits about us. So it's great that we're able to create a future of
our own. And I know this is going to sound really cliche, but they say the best way to predict the
future is to create it. And that's exactly what we're all trying to do. So, you know, we really
love to hear great stories and people coming together and succeeding like that. So, you know,
huge respect to you guys for that. Yeah, and shout out to the whole crew showing up, you know,
lady boss, I've been hanging out with her for a little bit. I love seeing her in the spaces.
We got our friends, crypto toe, and a lot of people here rocking the plus rhino tough. Just the
room is great. Jimmy tricks that, you know, there's a lot of friends here. I appreciate
you all showing up, man. Much love. Yeah, absolutely. Well said, tricky. And yeah,
thank you to everyone for rocking up and for sharing that, showing out the room. We do really
appreciate it because when you were great projects like this, so I just muted everybody. But yeah,
when you were great projects with a great team, you know, working together to really make something
happen, it's, it's awesome. And, you know, we're in a really unique position. Like you were saying
before, gangs in New York, do forgive me. I forgot what you said your first name. I think you said
it was William. If I'm completely wrong, I apologize. No, it's you're halfway right. It's
John Williams. Yeah, I know that William is in there somewhere. But yeah, like you were saying,
John, you know, the elites have got a way of doing things. And we're in a unique position
now to be able to create something incredible that we can benefit from. And if we work together to
protect it, that we can, we can lift each other up. And I do say this probably in every space,
but the best way to help Web3 succeed is to create an environment that people want to build,
learning, growing. And we do that by coming together, lots of different communities that
are all building different things, you know, we can collaborate and partner with each other.
And if we don't vibe with each other, we can still coincide with a level of respect for each other
and help the industry thrive the way that it can do. And if people come to this industry and see
people working together, creating amazing spaces like this and giving each other a platform and
lifting each other up, then, you know, people will want to stick around and find out what it's all
about. So it's great that you guys have got the same ethos there as well. All right. All right.
I mean, if you want, I can jump right into it now. Is that what time it is? Absolutely. That's
what time it is. Let's go. So, you know, as you know, I like a lot of things you were saying,
man, and we definitely agree, you know, that that's why we're doing it, you know, and the partnerships
that we have aligned ourselves with, man, you know, they're also great people, you know, they've
came in and shown a lot of love, you know, we've known them for some time or at least known of them,
you know, and we just want to form alliances and partnerships, you know, with like-minded
individuals, you know, and like you said, our board, man, it's just full of, you know, full of people,
real people, you know, with families, you know, Gil's got seven kids, General's got four, you know,
I got four with dogs and cats and, you know, it's just, you know, we're real people where we're a
good majority of us are docs, man, and, you know, I just, it's been truly amazing. It really has.
And as I stated in the beginning, you know, it all started with teams. I won't go too much into teams
because it's, you know, that's not why we're here right now. But, you know, it's important because
that's where it all started, man, and, you know, teams means a lot to, you know, all of us,
you know, but it will, like I said, it'll be a full-scale employment agency, you know, and it'll
have, you know, like a gamify effect to it where you go and you do employment, employment auctions,
and, you know, we'll have some DID and verification systems, you know, to verify, you know, what these
people are saying is actually true. You know, and we've done this through a partnership that we
formed with a company called Spark Plus. And what they are, if you haven't heard of them, is, you
know, they utilize Web3 technology and Web2, okay, they're not really involved in the Web3 space,
but they utilize the technology and they built out this platform called Solo. Now, Solo is
basically what I envisioned for teams, pretty much everything, you know, it has the verification
system, you know, it has the DID, you know, it has everything, you know, I was truly amazed when they
gave me the tour of this because, you know, in my mind, you know, I thought we were gonna need,
you know, a team of four or five devs to build this thing out because it's pretty complex,
you know, but come to find out, you know, through a community member, you know, introduced us to
these people and they just had everything we needed, you know, and they want to come into the
Web3 space, they just don't have the network for it, you know, and that's kind of where teams
comes into play. We're gonna utilize, you know, their tech and, you know, it's ready to be white
labeled, it's ready for market, but, you know, we just don't feel that it's the correct time to push
something like that into the space. We feel still too a little, a little immature still, you know,
and, you know, moving on from that, you know, some events have transpired over, you know,
the last six, seven months in the space, you know, in the trade fly space and, you know, with all
these pools out here and, you know, people getting money held and just things of that nature, you
know, and like I said, you know, I've been a trader for quite some time, you know, I got
fairly good at it and, you know, I just wanted to help, you know, and after we brought the board
in, you know, we kind of got our thinking caps on and came up with the idea of gangs in New York
and what gangs in New York is, is it's a collection of 2,222 NFTs. We're pushing 1,850 of them out to
met. There's around 200 that are going to partner projects, you know, that were reserved for partner
projects because like I said, you know, they came in, they showed a lot of love, they supported us,
known them for, you know, some time, you know, they can also be trusted and, you know, we just,
you know, want to give back as much as we can, you know, and it definitely is a mutually
beneficial relationship, you know, because we were just starting out, we definitely needed the support.
So, you know, it works both ways, you know, when you want to, when you form a partnership,
you know, you want and you need it to be mutually beneficial for both parties, you know.
So, like I said, you know, we're pushing, you know, 1,850. There's an outreach for partners.
Each team board member will get six because that's our max met, the six, and, you know, they came on,
you know, on their own free wills, you know, nobody's been paid, you know, which is why we're
allocating them, you know, we're allocating, you know, some, some ETH out of, you know,
met funds back to the board, you know, because they've worked their asses off, you know, we all
have, and, you know, it's, it's been great. So, as tomorrow, like he said, February 4th,
2024, 8 p.m. Eastern, we have actually started locking our Discord down already, you know,
just channels that, you know, that don't really need to be visible right now, and, you know,
tomorrow at 2 p.m., the rest will be locked down, you know, we're locking the whole entire Discord
down, especially, you know, with the hacks that have been going on the last couple of days.
We will have a support channel open. You won't be able to see what you write, but you can
type in it, and, you know, we'll be able to see on our end, you know, whatever questions that you
have, and we'll also have a VC open until 7 p.m., which is an hour before initiation,
and then the VC will be shut down because we're going live in our X space.
So, we've taken a lot of safety precautions to keep everybody safe, you know, because it's just,
that's the most important thing, you know, we just had our whole Discord revamped, you know,
we had somebody come in, they revamped our whole Discord, tightened up security.
So, everything's good to go in that aspect, in case anybody was wondering, you know, because,
like I said, that's most important. So, with gangs in New York, one of our first, you know, utilities
will be funding a heist. So, let's say you come in, you met one NFT, okay, you know,
because that's all you need to utilize everything we have to offer, just one asset, that's it.
And so, that one asset will give you a $250 minimum limit and a $1,000 maximum limit
to fund a heist. So, you go into our decentralized application, you know, it'll recognize that you
hold that asset, and it'll tell you that you have a $1,000 maximum allocation. So, you know,
you deposit your 1K or whatever it may be, you know, it'll be on the BNB chain, USDT, you know,
cheaper on gas for everybody, cheaper on gas for us, it just makes sense. So, and then a week later,
sorry, excuse me, and then a week later, you know, you have the potential of earning back some
substantial rewards, you know, we currently are in our third round of beta, our first round, we did
15% rewards back, you know, that's principal back and 15% on top. Second week, we did 20, and,
you know, this week, we're sitting pretty close to 25 right now, and we're about four days into it.
So, you know, it's got a little better each week. You know, we've had to adjust things, you know,
ever since these ETFs, because you know, the market moves a little different. But you know,
it's been good, and you know, getting more and more as we go. So that's our first utility is
to funding the heist. And 80% of you know, that 15% or 80% of that 20%, whatever it may be 5%, you
know, because every week's not going to be a great week. I have to stress that. And you know, I stress
that with everybody, you know, you're not going to have a great week every week, it's just not
feasible. And anybody that tells you that they can, you know, give you crazy gains every week is just
lying to you, you know, they're blowing smoke up your butt to get your money. You know, so but the
thing is with us is we'll be transparent, you know, we'll have the integrity to, you know,
do the right thing. You know, we'll let you know what's going on, you know, we'll give you your
options. And you know, we'll go from there, you know, we'll figure it out as a community.
So like I said, 80% goes back to holders, which leaves 20%, half of that 20% goes directly into
what we call the trap house. So in the beginning, 30% of our initiation proceeds are going into the
trap house, right? And then every week, there's an extra 10% that's getting added to the trap house.
So what the trap house is, you know, let's say, you know, I can only afford one on an FTG,
I can't really afford to jump in the house right away. You know, but what I can do, you know, is
every quarter, I can collect taxes out of that trap house. So it'll be split up equally between,
you know, each NFT every quarter, you know, so you could just, you know, imagine, you know, what if
it ended up looking like three months from now, you know, especially, you know, even with just the 10%
being injected into it every week, you know, but that's not all it'll be doing, you know, it's,
that's the trap house is a beast, okay. It'll be linked to an auto trader, it'll be scaled across
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, to begin with, you know, and it'll be implemented with our strategies
that we use to trade. You know, it'll also have, you know, somebody that's dedicated, you know,
a little bit of funds, you know, to mass mint, hyped whitelist, you know, free mints, what have
you, you know, just any opportunities that we can find in that area. And, you know, it'll have
somebody dedicated to, you know, sniping token launches with a sniper bot. So, you know, we're
at the first fight a little bit. You know, we'll also, you know, have some into some spot trading
and things like that. Because, you know, we got three months. So, you know, we got a little bit
of time to play around and, you know, maximize the trap house, you know, which is our goal.
You know, so we got the heist, we got the trap house. And then after that, you know, we'll be
holding weekly seminars. I myself will be doing the seminars. So, you know, let's say you want
to learn how I do what I do or how, you know, our other trader does what he does. Right. You can come
into these seminars once a week, which will be held on a Google meet. You know, I don't like holding
them. I tell everybody I don't like holding them in discord because it's laggy, you know, you pull
that screen up at lags, you can't hear jumps. But regardless, we'll be doing it on Google meet,
you know, and I'll be walking people through, you know, my trade setups, you know, and, you know,
I'm sure we'll catch weeks where I'll be able to do live trades. You know, it's just if the setup
presents itself, and it's there, then then yes, I have no issues doing that. You know, and I want
to teach whoever wants to learn how I do what I do, right, I want to walk them through step by step,
you know, how I set up my trades, how I find my entry points, what indicators I use, you know,
pretty much everything. And, you know, I know it sounds a little crazy, you know, because, you know,
that's really what we're relying on, you know, to to sustain, you know, but, you know, I also know
that not a lot of people are going to want to learn. I wish more people would want to learn,
but it's just the reality of the situation. Most people just want to put money in, take money out.
But there will be, you know, the few people that want to come in, and they actually want to take
the time and they want to learn, you know, and what that does is it makes them independent from,
you know, all these other entities out here, it even makes them independent from us, you know,
they can become independent, they can trade on their own, they can build their own portfolio up
and not have to depend on anybody, you know, to do anything for them, you know, and that's my goal,
you know, if we can even teach one person how to do that, you know, I feel like we're doing our job,
you know, and if they choose to sell, you know, because they're doing that, you know, great,
that's great, man, you know, we taught you how to go out and do your own thing, you know, now you
don't need us, that's awesome, you know, so I'll let somebody else in that wants to learn, you know,
and, you know, that's pretty much my thoughts behind that. And we will also be offering,
through a partnership that we'll be announcing here in the next day or two, we'll be offering
access to an NFT alpha discord, where our holders will be able to go in and they'll be able to
utilize their alpha calls, you know, for NFTs, tokens or whatever they got going on, they'll
be able to, you know, utilize their whitelist, you know, they give away a lot of whitelist projects
in there and, you know, they, they, they farm out of tokens, they do countless things, you know,
which our holders will have access to, they also, you know, have platinum tools, nexus tools, you
know, they have a partnership with bearish capital, you know, our holders will be able to utilize all
that as well, you know, so that's another thing that we'll offer. And also, I think around, you
know, five Ethereum from the initiation proceeds is being donated to an organization called
Children's Miracle Network. And now what they do is, is they help, you know, young kids with,
you know, rare diseases, you know, whose parents can't really, you know, maybe necessarily afford
their doctor trips, you know, that are far away because they have to see a specialist or,
you know, they can't afford their medications or whatever it may be, they just, they just help them
out, you know, and they get them through it, they help them get through it. So we'll be donating to
them, you know, from, from the mint proceeds. And every quarter, you know, we'll also, you know,
sit down with our community. And you know, we'll come up with another organization that we want
to donate to, and what percentage that we want to give to that organization. And we'll be doing that,
you know, as a community, you know, it won't be just us making all the decisions, you know,
we want to involve the community because you know, we, we are the community, you know,
we've been the community for the last two years, going through all these struggles. And so, you know,
our main goal is just, you know, give back as much as we can, you know, without hindering our
sustainability in the process. And I think that's pretty much about covers it, man, gangs in New
York, you know, we'll always just be trading, there will never be nothing else with gangs in New York,
you know, might level up some things along the way, but you know, it'll always have to do with
trading, you know, and then, you know, obviously quarter four, maybe, you know, maybe q1 next year,
you know, we'll talk about, you know, bringing teams out, you know, but that's later on down the
line. That's awesome. So we can jump into your discord for most of that alpha and the learning
opportunities. What would what would you recommend? Do you have like a telegram or anything like that
too? No, we just do the discord. And, you know, it's just real simple. I mean, we use,
that's actually one thing I forgot, we utilize the drip, you know, for white giving out white
less and things like that. You just come in and, you know, you let us know you're new, we'll get
we'll get you set up, you know, you go in your dashboard, you link your wallet, you can either
do it through open C bio code, or you can do it through metamask. Doesn't really matter which,
you know, it's a read only for either. You know, I actually have a relationship with the team
that built the drip bot, and I've known them for quite some time. You know, so you can come in
there, you can do that. We also have quests that you can do and things like that to earn your work
and, you know, enter for the prizes. You know, there's a lot of good NFTs in there for prizes
already, you know, Quirky's, Horde, all kinds of stuff in there. You know, that's just something
we wanted to do for people, you know, before we even launched, you know, just to let them know
we're not we're not playing around, you know, we really want to give back and we want to help.
So yeah, mainly through Discord, man, that's that's pretty much where we're at right now.
I don't really care for Telegram. A lot of scams go through there. You know, it's not
as easy to lock that down. Yeah, I mean, either way, everyone should just not accept DMs from
people you don't know. When someone DMs you or calls you and you don't know them, just ignore
that, you know, go to your communities and vibe with the communities. And that's how you really
got to find people and keep everybody safe. But locking that stuff down can be hard. That's
awesome, though. You're definitely in the right place. You know, we're big here on collaboration
and education, like that's real the real big passion points of mine, and a lot of us on the
team, you know, in the community community. So that's awesome. I'm definitely looking forward
to tap in a little bit more. Like we do some of that alpha calls and stuff like that. But yeah,
I love I always love talking to traders. I got a finance degree and did day trading for a while
there. So yeah, we can have some good conversations. I'm sure. Yeah, that's awesome. If anyone has any
questions, feel free to come up to the stage and raise your hand. And you know, you're welcome to
ask anything you want. Now would be a great time for some questions. So also right now you are
you're you're taking for whitelist right now, right? You're not are you minting anything or
you just have the whitelist going right now. So right now it's just whitelist whitelist will
close tomorrow at what did I say 2pm Eastern whitelist will close tomorrow and then the
initiation goes live at which is mint. It goes live at 8pm Eastern.
Awesome. And what is whitelist and price and what's the public price?
So there is no public it's it's straight whitelist, you know, and it's 0.05 Ethereum across the board.
We wanted to make it cheap. You know, I mean, I know it's not too cheap, but you know,
compared to, you know, entering into any of these other ecosystems that offer something like this,
you know, you're paying, you know, three something like that just just to enter the ecosystem.
And you know, then you have to, you know, lose sleep at night and worry if you're even going
to get your money back, you know. So, you know, I think it's priced perfectly, you know, and a
majority of it is going back anyways. So that's awesome. Yeah, I like that. I like that you're
putting stuff back into to giveaways and stuff. Do you have like a number or like what percentage
of your mint funds or go back into giveaways or anything like that? So 30% is going into the
trap house, like I said, and that's just for, you know, the community to draw on every quarter.
You know, and our hopes is that, you know, with it linked to the auto trader, you know,
it continues to grow. But even without that, like I said, you know, there's another 10%
going into that, you know, every week. So 30% is going to that, you know, and like I said,
there's a percentage going to children's numerical network, I think around five east.
It's about maybe, I think, 20. Actually, it's 30, including the dev going out to across the 11 board
members. You know, because like I said, they came out on their own free will, they haven't been paid,
you know, for the last few months. And, you know, they worked really hard, you know, so I think it's
really important to reward them as well, you know. And, you know, there's a lot of expenses associated
with, you know, having an LLC, you know, we have to worry about taxes. And, you know, we also have to
take, I think around maybe close to seven, Ethereum, and put that into the team's development,
because right, we have to still pay for that tech. You know, they're not just going to give it to us,
they would. But, you know, we have to pay for them to let us utilize that tech. And, you know,
white label it, obviously, with our branding and things of that nature. So, you know, so I think
after everything's all said and done, you know, we're looking at a safety net of around like 25
Ethereum, you know, that'll be put into treasury, and it'll be utilized for expenses over time and
things of that nature. Awesome. Yeah, that's cool. I'm trying to get into your discord right now.
I'll say also welcome. We got I know we got Tony on the stage. We got Kaguya up here as well.
I appreciate you stopping through. Feel free to raise your hand if you have any questions.
And yeah, let's see what else was I thinking? Got any other questions here for him, bacon? Let's
grill this guy. He was mentioning partnerships earlier. What type of partnerships are you guys
looking for? As an example, we know a great ecosystem called a slice of pie. And they've
got an ecosystem built around trading as well. And it just sounds like that you guys will probably,
you know, be a great potential for partnerships with each other. So I was just wondering if
you had specific partnerships in mind and if you did what that kind of look like.
So I mean, like I said, you know, we just basically looking for partnerships with
like minded individuals, you know, we don't we don't want to partner with these, you know,
yeah, whatever. Yeah, we're just I won't say we're just looking for partnerships, you know,
with like minded individuals, you know, people who who have integrity like us, you know,
who want to see the best for web three. And, you know, what we did is, you know, we offered them,
you know, like I said, it was one K max per per NFT, you know, to deposit into a heist or what have
you. And, you know, so what we did for our partners, you know, that came in and supported us and showed
a lot of love. And, you know, we offered them, you know, we're gonna build out their own subdomain
for them, you know, so rather than their community having the commandment our NFTs, which they still
can do, and I'm sure some will, you know, they can utilize, you know, their own subdomain, which is,
you know, just an extension of our decentralized application, it'll have their own branding,
you know, and they'll have the power, you know, to set their own requirements, you know, like say,
let's say they wanted to hold one NFT of, you know, their words, theirs, you know, to utilize
their platform, you know, they can do that, they can set their own requirements, they can set their
own, you know, limits, and things of that nature. And, you know, we require them, you know, to hold
the first tier was, I think, 15 NFTs for a 20k allocation for their community, the second tier
was 30 NFTs for a 50k allocation for their community, and the third tier was 50 NFTs for
a 100k allocation for their community, you know, and we allowed them to reserve them NFTs, you know,
so their funds are due tonight to reserve their NFTs, and then there'll be airdrop to them tomorrow,
you know, so basically they'll have, you know, an extension of what we got for their own community,
you know, and like I said, we have one that's offered us access to NFT alpha discords, another
one that's offered us some other things, and you know, it's just mutually beneficial, and we're all
great people with integrity, and it's just been great, I don't know, I don't know how to explain
it, man, it's a really humbling experience for sure, you know, and I just, I didn't realize, you
know, the network that we had, and which is why it's been so humbling, you know, I kind of, you
know, just went over my head a little, I guess, you know, I knew I had a good network and built up a
good network for myself, as well as everybody on the board has, man, but just the amount of support
and love that we got, man, it's been overwhelming, and it's been amazing. Yeah, that's incredible,
and it's great when you, you know, when you realize how great your network is, and it's also when
everyone's understanding as well, you know, once you all provide that level of support for each
other, that everyone is only better for it, and I think that's the key, and something that's just
magnificent that web3 brings is that the togetherness, you know, it's business isn't normally like that,
and this is sort of, you know, we call it a movement for the people by the people.
Live our passion and connect and network and build in ways that we never could before,
and, you know, if, imagine if the whole world had a side gig or something that they did alongside
their jobs, they would be so much more at ease with life, because they weren't just solely
dependent on what income yet, they was not only living their passion, but their passion was paying
them and making their life better for it, and I think that's what's so amazing about this,
is that we all have an opportunity to not only do what we love, but benefit from it as well,
in more ways than just financial, you know, we get to connect with people all over the world,
build things, and like your project, you know, providing to a children's charity,
like that's absolutely epic, knowing that when you do what you enjoy doing, that there's children
that benefit because of it, and that that just wouldn't have happened without you guys doing
that, and I think that that is absolutely amazing, so, you know, well done for factoring that in,
because you just didn't need to do that, but you did, and I think that that is absolutely incredible.
Yeah, I appreciate that man, and it really is, it's important, you know, what the hell is the
point of doing it if you, you know, yeah, at least can't get back and help a little, you know.
Absolutely, and that's what this is about, you know, we're not just building for ourselves right now,
we're building for our families, you know, we're building for our children, the next generation,
and if this is the standard that we're setting now, that as our children grow into this, you know,
just providing that help because you can, it's amazing because we're creating value that just
simply didn't exist, and we're not only making it a value, but we're utilizing it in the real world
and helping people along the way, and, you know, who would want to stop that, you know,
who would want to get in the way of something that had so much
incredible value in it, and, you know, we really do love hearing stuff like that.
No, and I think we're, you know, it's like, you know, there's more and more communities,
you know, like ours getting together and standing together, you know, and I really feel like we're
just on the cusp of a new era in web3, you know, where, you know, these great communities take
charge and stand up, and, you know, we start seeing some change slowly, you know, slowly but surely,
and, you know, you've seen a lot of this game stop, and, you know, there hasn't been so many hacks,
and maybe it's, you know, just because it's not to bow around, you know, who knows, I guess we'll
see when it comes back, but, you know, I really do feel that, you know, we're on the cusp of something
great, and, you know, I think things are going to start turning around. Yeah, I completely agree,
and I just wanted to touch on the support for the children's charity again as well, because
there's another ecosystem that do the same thing, and it's amazing because you've got loads of content
to show you exactly the support they were able to find, and that's Shibu society, they're another
phenomenal project and community, and a part of their project is helping children with disabilities,
and they've got lots of footage on their YouTube, and you can see their team go in, you know, and
take care of the children, they're cleaning them, taking care of them, you know, giving them help,
and it's just amazing to see the level of, you know, humanity, like this is more than just digital
art, what people really are, not are utilizing blockchain technology for its intended purpose,
you know, of adding value and bringing people together and then using it in real time to make
an actual difference, and it's great that we have an opportunity to have an impact on the world like
never before, and we get to help each other in a way that we can enjoy, you know, and people are
building and learning all the time, so I just think it's absolutely fantastic, so, you know, third
play for building a team and a community around you guys in a way that is making a difference,
you know, it's very difficult because, you know, we've all got a lot going on in our real lives,
I know I keep mentioning that, but, you know, at the end of the day we are just people, and we can
only do so much, and we don't know what that amount is, but when we come together we realize
that it's a lot more than what we thought it was, and, you know, the more efficiently we can work
together, and the less friction there is between people from the divides created by whoever, you
know, when there's no divide on religion or race or, you know, how much funds you've got, and people
are just coming together to try and add whatever value they can that literally anything is possible,
and, yeah, that really, you know, motivates us and gives us the passion to turn up every day and do
what we do, so, you know, every credit. You know, general don't ain't gonna like this, you know,
like it when I say this, but, you know, that's one thing is it's never really been about the art for
me, you know, a lot of people, you know, maybe 40-50% people, you know, probably more than that,
really. They really enjoy the art, and that's really all they're here for in the NFT space,
you know, but with me it's never really been about that, you know, I respect the creators,
and I respect the artists, and, you know, it takes a lot of work and a lot of talent, and they have
a lot of skill, you know, I'm not saying I don't respect it because I do, but it's more about the
networking in the community and what we can achieve together, you know, and that's what it's
always been about for me, that's what drew me in to Web3 when I first jumped in, because it's just
truly amazing, you know, I've met better people in this space than I have my entire life, you know,
because like I said, I've, you know, I went through some struggles and had to, you know, overcome some
hurdles in life, and, you know, I haven't really ever been surrounded with, you know, the greatest
of people, but, you know, since I've came into Web3, I've just met some truly, you know, amazing
people, you know, and these are people that I've never even met face-to-face, and they would do more
for me than a lot of people throughout my life, you know, so it's just, it really is, it's amazing, man.
Yeah, and share play and credit, you know, every credit's here for that, because, yeah, I feel,
we feel the absolute same, and, you know, we say there's quite a lot that, you know, people will
never really understand the connection that we share and the passion that comes from just getting
that support, you know, and you don't even need to meet people in real life to have that connection
or to make that difference, and you never really know what impact you're going to have on somebody
else, and what your passion is going to do for other people, you know, just doing what you're
doing the right way, and having a purpose and providing value every step of the way will,
you know, work magic in places that you didn't even realize, and sometimes you will never even
really know what that is, so, yeah, bonds get created, and we all share a passion,
and, you know, a lot of people are here for money too, and that's okay, you know, because
we all need that, that's how the world turns, unfortunately, but it's good that, you know,
when we hear about teams, you know, getting paid and people making money, that's brilliant,
because we need that, and it's great that we can do it like this in ways that benefit
in a multitude of ways, you know, because some people are just here for the vibe, some are just
here for the art, some are here just to make some money, but it's great when there's that many
different ways in which people can, you know, get something out of it that, you know, that's
how we can all win, you know, and a lot of people are of the mindset of, you know, just adding that
little bit more value than you take, so, yeah, fire away, General. Yeah, I just wanted to add in,
you know, we've come together and built this community with all of these communities that
we've been a part of for all of these years, so everybody that you see in there is like family,
and it's incredible to see people already chopping it up in the VC and already talking tactics and
what they're gonna do, and, you know, we're gonna be in there, I'm planning on being in there in the
mornings and just sharing time if anybody wants to talk, get stuff off their chest even, because I
know, you know, me being a military guy, you know, mental health is a big thing for us, I have PTSD
from being at war three times, and so, you know, sometimes it's good to just be able to get some
stuff off your chest, and so, you know, we'll be open and just honest with everybody, with the
community, that's just who we are as people, and we look forward to, you know, learning more about
you individually, so thanks again for having us up here, we got to run to another space, we have a
space here soon, so we got to hop into that, but man, we thank you guys for inviting us up here,
and just, you know, spending some time to get to know us, and we look forward to carrying in, you
know, these conversations on well into the future. Yeah, absolutely, we appreciate you joining us,
and we've got a lot of really cool things in common, and some other collaborations as well,
which we probably should talk about, so, yeah, we'll definitely chat more on the back end,
we have this amazing book collaboration with crypto magazine, it's going to be in 23 countries,
100 hotels, we're just absolutely pumped about it, it's super low entry, because it's all just
a community project, you know, honestly, we're all doing this for the love of the game, most of us
here, the community communities, doesn't get paid for what we're doing, we're just here to collaborate
and grow, so, yeah, definitely tap in with us, because that book collab is an epic opportunity,
crypto magazine, if you get in there, it's like 10 to $14,000 for two pages in that magazine,
you know, like five to seven per page, we have a double page spread basically for 150 matic,
it's just an epic opportunity, yeah, yeah, it's going to go up, we do 10 books, then we're going
to make cartoons and video games, because our guy from Hangry Animals, Andy, he's already done that
for his project, so we already have, this is all a lock, we just need to get people to, you know,
organize, we're going to do 10 books, the 10th book will be 1500 matic, because they each go up
150 matic, so, yeah, this is the first one, we would love to have you guys involved, and yeah,
we'll talk more on the back end, for sure. Yeah, 100% man, looking forward to it, I think, I think
they're about, you know, five minutes out, maybe from the other space, man, so if anybody, you know,
has anything, feel free to ask, or, you know, whatever, appreciate you guys having us, man,
it's been a blast, and, you know, it was a pleasure getting to know you. Yeah, that's been great,
like, thanks, thanks for joining us, I think you've got a really cool thing going there,
people are impatient, and I think having that part to pay people from, will hopefully keep people
engaged, and keep people involved, and, yeah, I'm excited, I'm excited to see what you guys can do.
Yeah, I tease to that as well, and, you know, general, you know, thank you for your service,
you know, and it's great that you guys, you know, value mental health, you know, we're all advocates
for mental health, we have a mental health space, we do in our Telegram group every Tuesday, 9pm
UK time, ran by Miss Evision on the space right now, but we, you know, we have an hour, a long
slot that we use, you know, normally we just chill together, but everyone is of the equal understanding,
and if anyone wants to talk and get things off the chest, that there is somewhere that they can
go to do that, you know, and that's, we have a plus next to our name, I don't know if anyone's
noticed that, but that plus is a way that we can represent each other without sacrificing our
profile pitches or our names, it stands for web3 togetherness, adding value, we are of the
understanding that everyone adds value regardless of their skill set, and we advocate for mental
health, so, yeah, that's what that stands for, but no, we appreciate you guys joining us tonight, and,
you know, we appreciate you've got to get off, so whenever you guys have got to go, we totally
respect that, you know, thank you for giving us an hour of your night, and, you know, giving us a
deeper dive on you guys and what you're all about and everything that you're doing, and it does, it
sounds absolutely amazing, and we look forward to collaborating on the back end, and having
conversations in the back end, sorry, so yeah, thank you. Yeah, we got to run, but thanks for
having us again, and we definitely want to come back and spend some more time with you guys,
and get to know, you know, what you guys are doing at a deeper level too, so, you know, I'm just going
to come step in as a listener from time to time, you might see me jump in, so I love just vibing
with people, so thank you. It's a shame you can't stay, because we're planning to talk about the
book in the next section, which is more about us, so unfortunately you're going to miss that,
but hopefully some of your guys in the audience will stick around and let you know what we're up to.
So, I mean, one of us can stay at least, right? I mean,
it doesn't really matter to me who it is. Yeah, I can hop off, you can stay with me. Sounds good.
All right, man. Thanks guys, yeah, there's no absolutely no pressure if you've both got to go
wherever, we appreciate it, but now if you want to stick around, we appreciate that too, thank you.
But yeah, no, we're super excited, we've got some updates to talk about and, you know, we're really
looking forward to it, because, you know, we really value community and collaboration and
it's amazing what can be done together, and this project is designed to really showcase the true
value of Web3 in how, you know, we can all come together to work on one thing that uplifts
everybody and, you know, we're effectively utilizing our network to make this possible.
So, yeah, just before we dive into that though, you know, thank you so much for
giving us a deep dive on your projects and it sounds awesome and, you know, we definitely
look forward to finding out better ways in which we can support you guys and, you know, how we can
support the charitable side of it and the mental health side of it too, because, like we said,
you know, we're all people and we can create an environment where we feel safe and comfortable to
be ourselves and, you know, prosper as communities and change the way that humanity works on a
digital level. So, yeah, definitely excited because anything is possible.
Yeah, hey, what I'm going to do is I'm going to hop down and hop back in on my personal account,
you know, that way, you know, one of the other guys can utilize this account in the internal space.
Yeah, sure, no problem. It'll be OG Dubs. That's the other account. So, I'll come
in and request. Awesome. Yeah, thank you, buddy. We'll see you in a second.
So, yeah, I mean, we've got this NFT book project where we're inviting
up to 100 people to collaborate with us to create a book that showcases everybody.
Go on, Rif, take it away. Yeah, sure. So, basically, we're creating a digital book,
which is also going to be a physical book as well. We have 100 pages available. Currently,
33 pages of the 100 have been minted. As of today, every day that passes, we are going to burn
a page. So, pages will either be purchased or burned. So, the countdown starts of tonight.
There is a post I've made at the top that's been pinned. Our website is currently under construction
because there's some changes we've made to make. So, as soon as that's been done, we can
have the website up and running again, which has all of our information, a breakdown of who we are,
what we're trying to accomplish. We have a team of seven, all who are fully docked.
And we are the core team of the community of communities. And our goal is to help
highlight the right side of Web3. We want to bring people together. We want to uplift the industry.
And we are all about community and collaboration. And we created a platform to help give people the
opportunity to showcase all the amazing things that they've done because we have a huge respect
for all of these amazing people and projects that have put hundreds and collaboratively thousands
of hours together to build something for their communities, for each other, and to help build
passions and monetize themselves. And we have an opportunity in Web3 to be our own brand and
utilize this industry to create huge value for ourselves and for each other. So, we're super
excited to be working on this NFT book. So, currently, as I said earlier, there's 33 pages
that have been minted. If anyone is interested in getting involved, you can reach out to any of the
team and we can help teach you about the project and give you the information that you need to
to do your own research, take a look at it, see whether you vibe with it. But just to help you
conceptualize it, if you are a project founder and you've got your own project, just imagine that
if you were to purchase a page in our book, that your NFT character will play a role in a story
that we're telling. And we're doing this in a way where all the projects that are involved can all
support the project. They can tell the world about it and people will also be able to have a book
that the NFT character is in and you can read that story to your children, to your family or friends,
or anyone can read that book. You can tell people about the different projects that are in it,
the different good causes that they do. There's quite a few projects in the book already that
have got great causes with the project, like Douglas for example, Christian, he's on the
co-team, he's done so much amazing stuff for the community communities from the smart contracts,
the artwork, the website, lots of amazing attributes towards the infrastructure that we do.
And this book is something that we're super passionate about because it's given projects
a little, the smallest barrier to entry for maximum exposure is possible. And we're fortunate
to have some great people in our network, one of those in which is the crypto magazine where the
book will be featured in, which is currently available in 23 countries globally and the top 100
luxury hotels as well. And we're super excited about that. So the projects that are on the front
cover of the book will be seen on the page in the magazine that we're featured in.
Do you forgive me? I'm just going to go and quickly get a drink of water. I got tricky old
back and I don't know if I need to take over for a second. We've always just started to go,
I do apologize. Yes, that's all good. So yeah, we've obviously got crypto magazine,
super psyched. They're actually involved. They've bought a page as well, which is pretty cool.
We've got Andy, our friend at Hangry Animals. He's going to be pivotal to sort of polishing
the book, making it look epic. If you want to see what Epic looks like, he's got a bunch of comics
already going. He's got games he's done before that link in with the Hangryverse. There's a game
upcoming for the Hangryverse. He's also got this chet token, which is like an early access token
to what's been developed. It also gives you a 3D skin. You can wear in the metaverse and stuff.
We've gone ahead and given the chet token to all of our collaborators so they can have a play
around with Andy's things, which is really cool. Review back yet. I'm just rambling here.
I just got to say, we got another plus in the room. Shout out to Winston for adding that plus
right there. Just dropped you a follow back, man. Let's go. Let's go. Thank you, Winston. We
appreciate that. We appreciate anyone that adds the plus to their name. Apologies about my voice
there. I had a nice drink of water and it feels a bit better. We really do appreciate anyone that
adds the plus because it stands for a multitude of things. One of those things is the togetherness.
We all believe that regardless of your skill set, we all add value. Everything that everyone does
in this industry is equally as important as the next thing. There's people out there who are
building that need to support people that just love the community vibe and want to be a part of it.
That is absolutely essential. These spaces would be pointless if it was just us talking to each
other and no one listening to it. There's so many amazing opportunities in Web3 for artists,
voice actors, developers, web developers. It's awesome that there's lots of different ways in
which people can be rewarded. People who are doing engaged to earn, learned to earn,
that type of thing as well. People are getting the opportunity to not only learn but to earn while
they do it. What we really appreciate about the industry is there's lots of people from
third world countries that just don't simply get certain opportunities from parts of the world that
they're living. Web3 really changes that because it just really opens up the doors to absolutely
everybody and that people can learn skills that they couldn't before. They can earn while they
do that. We know of people in Web3 that are providing for their families from assets that
they've earned whilst learning, participating, and it gives people the opportunity to get involved
in things that they couldn't before. Web3 is absolutely awesome for that. Christian is
aka Doglands is very kindly made a post for people who want to get involved in the book.
We've pinned that at the top, so if anyone does want to get a page in the book, that's pinned at
the top for people to go and jump on that. I just want to dive into what Bacon was saying
about Hangar Animals, who we've collaborated with. We've been a part of the community communities
forever and the founder Andrew Minton is a phenomenal individual. He's been in the
animation industry for almost a quarter of a century. He's taught in colleges and he's got
an absolutely phenomenal skill in a multitude of different areas and he is helping us with the book
as well. He also has his own ecosystem also known as Hangar Animals and the Chet Pass is basically
a membership pass, which is an NFT, and anyone who purchases a page in our book will also get
the membership pass a drop to them for absolutely free. That pass is an NFT. You can also mint one
of the Hangar Animals on mint day with that, so you basically get two NFTs. The NFT that you can
mint with it on mint day will be available for around $50. The Chet Pass itself is for $25,
so you can purchase one from the Hangar Animals website if somebody just wanted to get the pass,
which also with that Chet Pass you also get a 3D fully rigged avatar with full IP ownership as
well, which you can utilize in multiple different metaverses. So it's an absolutely awesome
opportunity because Andrew is utility mad. He's all about adding value to the early investors,
to people who support early on. There's lots of different ways in which you can interact with his
ecosystem. They also have a food token as well, so if you do support their ecosystem, if you
support them on social media, you can join their Discord, send proof of that and earn food token,
which has got no monetary value, but you can utilize the food token in their ecosystem to
buy NFTs. You can use it to buy merchandise and I think you'll be able to utilize it
as part of the in-game assets as well, because what Hangar Animals are creating is the
hangryverse, which the bus and the book grants people access to the hangryverse as well,
which is an RPG open world game, which is going to be absolutely incredible. You can take a look
at the website and check out their YouTube and you'll be able to see content of that being built.
You can also join the Telegram group as well and you can watch Andrew as he builds that in real time.
You can talk to him about it, ask him questions about it. It's an absolutely phenomenal ecosystem
and that is the point behind this book is collaboration and people can be as involved
as they wish to be on the creative side. We're always open to hear what people can do or in
ways in which people want to add value, because there's lots of different ecosystems.
For example, one of the projects that are in the book is the color community. You can check out
their website which is colr.io or color. That is two Hollywood film producers. They are creating
the world's first ever Web3 funded feature film and they are incredible at what they do.
We're really excited that those guys are going to be in the book and also that the book is going to
be in the feature film as well. The project is still live so people can check out their ecosystem
as well and you can purchase some of their NFTs. I think they've got three NFTs available at the
moment. One of them is a membership NFT and another one is a founder's pass as well. If you purchase
one of the founder's passes that you're then eligible to get your brand in their film.
Sorry, fire away, Christian. Yeah, I thought I'd give you a break because you're giving me a
sore throat. Thank you. Just go and have a swig of water or something. Yeah, cheers, bro. Oh, chocolate.
Oh, chocolate with a little drop of honey in it. Oh, chocolate's good for hot chocolate.
Have some chocolate. Your voice. I'm contagious. You're contagious, sorry.
Yeah, stop it now. Right, you're good to go. Yeah, I'm good to go. Thank you. Yeah,
if I have any more honey today, I'm probably going to turn into a wasp and you all know how
I feel about those things. But yeah, no, so as you can hear from the different projects and
ecosystems that are in the book, you know, we're really excited about it because they are doing
phenomenal things in web three. And I think we all can appreciate the value of a multitude of
different communities coming together to work on one thing that uplifts everybody and gives us
something that we can showcase to the world to highlight what's possible in this industry.
You know, so it goes from a physical book that people can look at, they can hold it, they can
read it. And then there's the digital book that integrates into the hang reverse so people can
access virtual environments, they can access games, you know, they can learn about ecosystems
that are creating films that, you know, color create films in the real world, you know, these
guys, Hollywood film producers, you know, they've got an incredible network and ecosystem. And
that is what this is all about is about coming together, sharing our networks, you know, because
we're all always looking for those different partnerships and projects that we align with that
we can work with to add more value to the people that believe in us and that invest in us and that
want to really utilize the industry for what's possible. And there's some people that were,
you know, that were working with and that were getting to know that are
on the absolute brink of creating things in this industry that just don't exist in the world yet.
And, you know, we find that absolutely fascinating and we're really excited about it.
But yeah, Christian, you know, I don't know if you want to talk a little bit about your project as
well, because, you know, the project that you're building is amazing and got, you know, a lot of
real world valued as well. I'm not in the right space to do that at the moment. Sorry, but
you know, that's all right. Not a problem whatsoever. But yeah, sorry. I know you're always
busy and you've probably got like 15 times open and eight different things that you're thinking
about. But yeah, tricky. It's like with you as well, bro. You know, tricky was the first page
purchased in our book. You know, it was the first project to believe in the book and what it were
that we was trying to accomplish. So I do have to give you a shout out for that. And it's awesome
that you saw the value and, you know, put your money where your mouth was. And, you know, it's
amazing that, you know, another 32 pages have been minted after that. And there's so much value and
so much skill and incredible projects involved that, you know, it's exciting to be able to,
you know, play our part in making history and having showing the world that many brands can
come together with the outlook of togetherness and community, you know, and let's say we get 50
projects in this book. That's 50 different communities working together to uplift one
thing that highlights everybody. And you can just, you know, imagine the power that's behind that.
And that's that's the most important part about it. Yeah, absolutely. And it's kind of so this is
one thing about the book as well. You are max allowed two pages per project, right? And I'm
actually telling this to a couple different friends, you know, I have a couple of friends
who have beasts, right? The beasts are like 0.25. Like they're, they're pretty up there. I'm like,
well, if you're spending 0.25 on a beast, spending 150 matic to send it around the world and into
the magazine and a book might behoove you, right? That might be a benefit. But you only get two per
project. So anyone could really if you're a good person, you know, you're in the community and you
want them into page and put like your beast in or your donkey and you can you can put in pretty
much whatever NFT or any kind of picture image character with what you want to have you. So
the first two beasts to get in, you know, like a kid called beast might not actually get to get
his beast in there because I think my friends Harriet and juice are going to get their beast
in the book. So he'll have a chance maybe the second book if he doesn't respond to my DMS fast
enough. But there's a lot of great projects out here. And if you've got IP and you want to send
it around and you want to make it more of a character, you know, if you're coming out with
books later or you're going to plan on using that IP for something, this is a great opportunity to
give it some massive exposure, right? So everyone should be considering this, not just founders,
you know, but if you're holding NFTs and you're believing in that NFT, well, you can help send it
off, you know, let's send it, man. Let's send it. Mince yourself a page. Yeah, absolutely. And, you
know, one of the things that we're excited about is, you know, let's just say you mint a page,
you know, you and you've got that NFT, you know, then you get a check pass, which is another NFT,
which enables you to mint a hangar animal, which is another NFT. Then you get a 3D avatar with,
that's fully rigged and you have full IP ownership over that. So you can use that in any any metaverse
that you can scan it into. So then you've got early access into the Hangryverse and everything
that they're building. And once you see what's going on in the hangar animals ecosystem, you know,
you'll be extremely excited. So what we're trying to do is, you know, open the doors for the world
to gain access to these digital assets in these virtual environments for as little
barrier to entry as possible. And thanks to having the great network that we've been fortunate enough
to acquire over the years we've been in the industry, you know, we're able to get that into
a magazine that's got global exposure. So that, you know, the book will be shown around the world
and people can learn about it and see all the brands that's in it. But we're also trying to
create a networking opportunity for the people who get involved as well so that people can,
you know, meet more people in the industry. And, you know, the people that we've been fortunate
enough to connect with vibe with our ethos of, you know, lifting each other up working together.
And it's just really exciting to see so many people wanting to lift each other up like this.
So, you know, if there's any projects that want to get involved or want to ask any questions,
you know, we're all about giving everyone the information they want first, seeing whether they
vibe with it. And, you know, we're always open for projects to, you know, add value in their own
unique ways. You know, there's some projects that want to put unique QR codes into their artwork
that links to a mint site so that if people get the actual physical book, then you can mint an
NFT that you can only get access to from mint in the book itself, you know, so the book will come
with an ability to mint NFTs that way as well, which is, you know, another exciting part about it.
Yeah. And there's actually some new tech we can create. Anything can be created into a QR code.
Right. So we could actually this is something I just thought about recently. We could take our
physical book and actually turn it into a QR code. So if you look at your physical book with a camera,
it will register as a QR. And then that can link to a website maybe or augmented reality or who
knows? We like we have a lot of options at that point to really like play with other things.
Yeah. And I was actually talking to a project yesterday who are going to be getting the book
as well. And, you know, I won't give any alpha away on what they're working on. But I assure you
that what they've managed to create with NFTs has never been done and will blow people's absolute
minds to smithereens, which is absolutely amazing. So yeah, so we're super excited about it.
You know, we're going to be burning pages every single day until all the pages are gone.
So yeah, if anyone wants to know any more information, definitely reach out.
There is a link to our website pinned at the top. And that should link you to the ability to
the mid-site as well if people want to do that. We always ask if anyone wants to join our Telegram
group that you can do that too. We'll get that dropped in the comment section below.
That is where a lot of the people we connect with are. And that is where we spend all of our time
and is the easiest place to access those is through our Telegram group,
which is also where we do our mental health spaces every Tuesday as well.
Which, you know, it's always an absolute amazing vibe when we're in there with everybody.
We did used to do those on here, but we're getting too many trolls. So we decided to do it over there
instead. But if anyone has any questions, or if anyone wants to come up and talk to us about
anything that they want to talk about in regards to the book, you're more than welcome to.
I pretty much covered what I wanted to cover. So if anyone wants to come up and introduce
yourself, talk to us, tell us what you're doing in Web3, please come up. You're more than welcome
to do so as well. You know, we're all about networking and connecting. And we absolutely
love speaking to people, especially people we haven't spoken to before. So I'd be interested
actually to hear Kirk, the crypto therapist down there, and what he thinks on the book projects.
I'd love to hear his feedback and his thoughts on the book. If you were available to chat,
Yeah, absolutely. That'd be amazing. And yeah, so,
og dubs. Thank you for coming back up on your original account. I don't know if you have any
questions or you have any thoughts about it. I think it's pretty amazing, really. You know,
when you first started talking about it, when we first came on, I didn't know you were actually,
you know, minting pages in the book and all that, man. And it's pretty cool concept. You know,
honestly, I don't never heard of anybody doing anything like this. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but
I just can't think of anybody off the top of my head, man. You know, and not to mention that,
you know, you're right, you know, you are getting plenty of exposure, especially with
crypto magazine. You know, there's so, so many people that utilize them. And, you know,
it's a great opportunity, you know, for not only you guys, but you know, for anybody that's minting
the page in the book, whether it be a founder or community member or, you know, regardless,
it's a great opportunity, man. And I would really, you know, love to chat about it. So, yeah,
let's fucking do it, man. Absolutely. We're always available, man. You can get in touch with any of
the core members of the team, you know, Direv, myself, Bacon, Christian, Trey, you know, we got,
we got in this EV, Tony, we got lots of people on the core team that can help you expedite or,
you know, direct you in the right direction. And it's all on our website. So that's what's up.
It'd be awesome to have you. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, bro. And, you know, there's absolutely
like zero pressure, you know, some people just don't want to get involved in stuff if you've got
enough going on. Some people just might not vibe with it, you know, and that's totally cool. You
know, it's not sort of a situation where it's like, Oh, you know, I don't really want to get involved.
So I'm gonna have to just dump these guys for a while. You know, we just, we came and we came
about from being, you know, lots of different people learning about web three, learning how
to build in the industry. But we all started on nothing, you know, the entire community communities
were built on a zero dollar budget. And we used to trade in skill sets, you know, we'd have people
opening to the build websites, discords content. And we actually originated over on TikTok. You
know, that that's, that's kind of where we started. And we were, we were dancing between TikTok and
discord. And, you know, people were putting discord events on and, you know, we were all
turning up to each other's events. And that's sort of how we originated. And, you know, that's
what this concept kind of really complements is that building something together and making it
as affordable as humanly possible so that projects that just don't have that marketing budget don't
miss out on opportunities to sort of get that exposure and network and find people that they
can connect with. And, you know, because we all have to start somewhere. And it's great that we can
do something and pretty much everyone has an opportunity to get involved with it.
Yeah, you know, that's the thing, you know, there's a lot of them projects out here,
you know, they're doing absolutely amazing things, you know, and providing, you know,
actually utility and a lot back to their holders and their investors. And, you know,
they just get overlooked, you know, you know, they're not part of that, you know,
circle jerk or whatever it might be. Yeah, absolutely. And that's sort of like what we
have always been, you know, really honored about is that that vibe is that, you know,
you just can't buy it, you know. And, you know, we've been really fortunate that like, for example,
people who rock the plus, there's people who work and live in Hollywood that rock the plus,
like Ben Earl is such a cool guy. And he's just all about the people in the community.
His love for his art is all he values when it comes to Web3, you know, and he's one of the
best selling comic writers for Marvel. He wrote one the recent Daredevil, and he added the plus
to his name because he just valued the community vibe. And that's what is at the core of everything
we do is community, you know, and as Bacon likes it, when I say, you know, we love community so
much, we put it in our name twice. But that's what it's about. It's just about, you know, all
working together. And we're all doing our own unique thing, but we can add value to each other
along the way without putting ourselves out. And, you know, that's what we have, we value above
everything else. Yeah, cheers. Cheers for that, Rev. I always wanted to just welcome my friend,
Coke, to the stage. Welcome back, actually. You came and you spent loads of time with us
talking about yourself and your ecosystem and your music and stuff. So welcome back, man.
Hey, appreciate that, brother. Thanks for calling me up, man. Yeah, I'm excited for this mint tomorrow
for sure. I'm all loaded up and ready to go. So looking forward to that. And yeah, this is a cool
idea with the NFT book thing. I knew some other people that were kind of working on putting books
on the blockchain. And I just think it's a really cool idea. And, you know, anything to do with
gamification, or, you know, just just interesting tokenomics, right with, because there's just so
much you could do in this space, right? And that's what I love. I love experimentation. I'm very much
about just branching out and trying to, you know, be a part of as many communities as I can be.
Because I think there's just so many people in this space that have so much to offer. And we're
all on the ground floor of what web three is going to be in the next 10 years. So, you know,
now is like, when we get to experiment and do really cool things, and, you know, hopefully,
there's a nice historical record there for everybody so they can see, hey, you know, this
guy did this, and this group did that. And, you know, I just think it's really cool. So,
yeah, I love what you guys are doing and appreciate it, man.
Yeah, thank you, bro. We appreciate that. And, you know, thank you for coming up. And, you know,
while you're up here, friend, you know, there may be some people don't know who you are, what you do.
So, you know, I don't want to spend five minutes and just let people know who you are, what you do,
where they can find you. And if you've got anything going on, definitely throw that out there and
people can check you out, bro. We'd love that. Yeah, I appreciate that, man. Yeah. So,
I'll try to be quick. Yeah, no, no, don't worry about being quick. Take your time. We love it.
We love you. And yeah, throw it out there, bro. I appreciate it. I can sometimes get long-winded.
So, if I go too long, you just stop me. It's totally fine. But, yeah, the short version is
basically got into Web 3. Well, I got into crypto back in like 2016, kind of more officially. And
then just stayed in the market for a lot, you know, a lot of years, did a lot of trading,
got into projects really early, stuff like that. I wasn't doing music at the time. I kind of
stopped doing music a little over a decade ago and just, you know, got burned out of the whole
the whole music industry and all that. And then, what was it, 2022, I discovered some people that
were kind of putting their music on the blockchain. I was like, oh, this is really interesting, you
know. So, I kind of got into some of these communities and, you know, like Violetta and,
you know, some other people and, you know, just thought this was like a cool idea, you know,
putting, putting music and on the blockchain and doing like a different kind of way of putting
music out there. And even to that point, I still wasn't doing music, but it really just inspired
me to kind of get back into it. And then, you know, I just kind of started picking up my guitar again,
you know, playing more. And then finally, after a few months, I decided, I don't know, maybe I can
throw something out, you know, I don't know. So, I ended up doing my first release in October of
2022. And yeah, it's been a wild ride since then. And like I said, recently, well, I released
my last, my latest project through token tracks, who is headed up by Tommy D. People know who that
is, legendary producer out of London. And I sent him the track that I was going to do. And
it was funny, because, you know, I'm nervous sending it to him, because it's him, right?
But I just like, you know, I just wanted your feedback, if you have anything, or if you're
cool with it. And he got back to me, he's like, he's like, man, I really like this, but I can hear
some other stuff going on in there that, you know, maybe is missing. And he's like, you know, you
want to send me the stems? I'm like, really? He goes, yeah. So I'm like, okay, so I sent him the stems.
And a couple of weeks went by, I kind of thought, he's probably not going to do anything with it.
But then, you know, he finally got back to me. He's like, Hey, what do you think of this? Sent me a
remix, you know, I was blown away. Like, it was just very, like, different, you know, sounding.
I was blown away. What he did with it was amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Yeah, no, I mean, he really like brought it to life in a way that I had never really thought how
to do, you know. So it was it was just brilliant. And so I was like, Yeah, cool, you know, so when
I release it, I kind of want to do something I'd never seen done before, which was, you know,
well, particularly in the music space, where, you know, I'm like, Hey, you know, I've this, this,
this whole space has given me so much, like, you know, for anybody that, you know, contributed to
me in the past, or, you know, bought my Genesis drop or anything, after the fact, like, you know,
I want to give back to these people somehow, you know, so I designed it as like a just kind of a
tiered structured NFT drop, where, you know, you just you buy a certain amount, and it gets you
certain levels of access to me or whatever, but even only one gets you into this thing I kind of
created called the web three university, which is really just like a kind of an online tutoring
platform where I just basically share my knowledge that I've learned over the years with people,
you know, everything from, you know, the history of finance to, you know, utilizing the tools in
blockchain, you know, wallets, I mean, everything, you know, some basic trading things, you know,
just, just kind of give people an overview of things that they can do it within the space and
how to use the tech security, which is huge, right? We see so many hacks going on. It's like,
you know, I want to try to teach people, hey, here's some like, you know, best practices that
you can implement in your life that anybody can do to protect you, right? So that's kind of what
my focus was there. And I've been running it now for about the last, what, five months, I guess,
or has it been that long, four or five months now, and done a lecture every month, and, you know,
just try to give people as much, you know, help and assistance as I can. And like I said, you know,
it's I think played out pretty nice. And, you know, I've just I've really enjoyed, you know,
just interfacing with people and helping people because that's really what I love to do. So,
you know, any any way I can help people like I'm here, you know, so that's kind of my goal.
Yeah, that's epic. And I'm glad that you did pick up your guitar and started doing stuff. And,
yeah, massive shout out to Tommy D. And for anyone who doesn't know who that is, you know,
not only is it legendary enough to rock the plus, but he's a multi platinum award winning
song producer, writer and DJ with over five billion streams with a B on his music.
Is it six? Wow, six billion streams on his music. And he still vibes with the community and helps
people as if is not even been recognized, which is just epic. And that is the beauty of web three,
you know, where else would you be able to get an opportunity to connect with people like that
when you're trying to do something in the industry to have access to someone like him with his level
of expertise and experience just gives you an opportunity that you would never normally get.
So the fact that you're willing to create a project, bro, and then create a web three
universities to people have access to education like that, I think is absolutely brilliant.
And, you know, it sounds like you've done a phenomenal job, my friend. And, you know,
I say this every space, but, you know, speaking in spaces isn't easy, you know, public speaking,
you know, even if you are a performer is not easy, especially when you're talking about yourself or
things that you're doing in an industry that's as complex as this one. It's very difficult. So,
you know, we have high respect for anyone who comes up and speaks. So we appreciate you giving
us a dive into what it is that you're doing, you know, and if if you've got anything that you want
to play, you know, we'd be more than happy to listen to it. If it's your music, then you're okay
with it. And, you know, we're happy for you to play something if you've got something at hand, my friend.
Oh, yeah, I appreciate that. I mean, if you guys want, I could play the
track that Tommy and I produced.
Yeah, people have heard of them. Awesome. Yeah, this is like the
the one that gets you into access into the into the Web 3 University. So
let me see if I can pull it up here.
Problem is I have it a little more accessible on my other computer, but if I go there, I'm probably
going to rug. So I'm trying to avoid that because my house is kind of weird. It's like not great for
for Wi-Fi. So yeah, so good. If it throws you out, you can always request and come back up
and we'll we'll get you back up. No problem. Yeah, that's true. You know what? Let me see.
I'll switch Wi-Fi networks. And if I get robbed, oh, you can let me know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No,
always get you back up. No problem. But yeah, no, I'm really excited to listen to it. And
it's awesome that, you know, we get opportunities like this to do what we love and connect with
people that we just normally wouldn't have access to. And, you know, that's one of our goals
with the community communities is to create a network that everybody can utilize and build
from and grow with. And, you know, so play to everyone that comes and adds value the way they
do, because there's so many amazing people like Charlie in the audience. He's a phenomenal
individual. He's a part of a couple of different projects, one being Catcoin. They also do a lot
of charitable work. They did a lot of charitable work, even during the, you know, the bottom of
the of the bear market where they were getting hit the hardest financially and still managed to do
a lot of amazing different things. That is another project that is community run. And the community
saved the projects and completely turned it around. And Charlie put hundreds of hours unpaid
to do everything he could to add value to that ecosystem so that people could benefit from it.
And most people are probably never going to even know the things that this man did to help
contribute towards making that ecosystem what it is today. So, you know, just while we're waiting
for this song to be played, Charlie, a massive shout out to you, bro. You're an absolute legend.
Hey, am I still here? Can you hear me? Yeah, still there, brother.
Sweet. All right. I'm going to go ahead and play this. Hopefully it comes through clearly.
And you can let me know if it doesn't. So here we go. This song is called I Wouldn't Be Me.
And like I said, it's written by me, produced by Tommy Dee, the legendary Tommy Dee. Here we go.
This is a perfect song, and nobody is listening, and I can't sleep for long.
No one here, I'm out of love, I'm pressing empty.
With my cold and callous heart, I have ascended and precious dreams are torn apart.
I'll never remember, and I can't scream from below, but no one would hear me.
I never knew what I now know, wouldn't be me.
Oh, no, wouldn't be a home.
Yes, indeed, it is becoming.
It hides beyond, it is a crime.
You can't spend your whole life running.
You can't spend your whole life running.
You can't spend your whole life running.
You can't spend your whole life running.
You can't spend your whole life running.
Iconic, that's the only word that you can describe, iconic, beautiful, I love it.
That was epic, and it came through the speakers pretty well too, that was awesome.
Yeah, that sounded really good.
Thank you guys, really appreciate that.
Thanks, man, really appreciate that.
That's what it sounds like on Twitter, man, I can't wait to hear that on headphones.
Thank you, yeah, I played around a lot with Twitter using different things and just, you know, life hack is using iPhone on wide spectrum, good speakers, put it about a foot away and you're freaking golden, man.
Nice, awesome. I think Trey put his hand up first. What's up, Trey?
I just wanted to ask musical influences. I hear some, I think.
Yeah, I mean, I got a lot. It's mostly, I would say British bands, like, you know, the Smiths and like old U2, Pink Floyd, things like that.
I think Tommy Dee really added a lot of Pink Floyd kind of influence into his mix of this, which is really cool. And he's a big Pink Floyd fan as well.
So, yeah, I would say that's, you know, definitely up there in radio heads, you know, bands like that. But I always don't know, like, do I sound like those bands or sound like somebody else? I don't know.
Yeah, the Radiohead and Pink Floyd.
Yeah, a lot of them. Yeah. Yeah.
What was that? You don't sound like any of those artists you said, like, coke the site.
Yeah, no, that was awesome. I think Trey's mic was just open for a moment there. But no, that was absolutely incredible. And it's great that you got to produce that with Tommy Dee.
And, you know, that's the piece of history that will be remembered for all of time. And what an achievement that is, you know, to say that that was, you know, your engines into Web 3 is pretty damn remarkable.
And I just want to move over to OG Dubbs, fire away, brother.
Hey, man, I just want to say a great song, man. You did a great job. You know, I always love hearing the artists come up before, you know, feel free to stop by, you know, our initiation party tomorrow night.

Like every week there's there's more talent and more creations. And yeah, this is great. Yeah, I completely agree.
Yeah. Thanks for having me up. I'm happy to be here. Just chill and smoke weed, eating some chips and doing some art.
It's got to stay medicated. But yeah, we try to keep these. We keep these more a little more professional, but we'll be doing some more fun spaces later on tonight.
So definitely follow me around. Turn on those notifications for those DGN hours. We will be going going hard tonight. Probably it is Saturday. So that's what's up.
Yeah. No, brother. Good to see you. Yeah, we're about to close this space out. But, you know, it was a great the great Saturday. I really appreciate all the legends showing up.
If we've got any final closing remarks, I think now is the time. And yeah, we will see you guys all soon.
Another another epic space. Just everyone coming through. But yeah, it's great.
Yeah, absolutely. Well said. And yeah, definitely work on tricky notifications is always in spaces all day, all night, every day on nine phones and six apps from three different accounts.
The man is on fire. But no, thank you everyone tonight. It's been absolutely incredible. You definitely made being ill feel awesome. That song was incredible.
We had some great conversations, met some new people, learned about some new ecosystems. And we appreciate everyone who tuned in, shared the space, shared the love.
We appreciate it. And if anyone listens back to these recordings as well, thank you so much. We appreciate you guys too.
Appreciate everyone in the audience as well. And yeah, you guys have been incredible. In a moment, I will be playing us our song that we play in out to say good night to everyone.
So if anyone does have any closing remarks, speak now over.
Yeah, I'd like to thank everyone for joining. And if you'd like to support us, then follow us on YouTube as well. I've pinned at the top. So if you'd follow us, let's get that thousand follower so we can start monetizing and start adding so many up in this web free thing.
Yeah, no, well said, nice. I'm Christian. Yeah, I did forget to mention that. So yeah, if anyone does want to show us a little bit of love on YouTube, that'll be epic because we have got so much content coming soon that we'll be putting over onto the YouTube platform from all of the different platforms we're on because, you know, we don't just do X, we do TikTok, we do YouTube and all the other platforms. We're probably going to get shadow banned for mentioning.
But if Elon is listening, we don't do anything other than X. What we just said was a complete lie. Don't show any support to any of our other socials because we'll only ever be on this app. I promise.
But no, thank you everyone for tonight. You've been amazing. We appreciate you listening to us talk about our book projects as well. And if anyone wants to get involved, do reach out. If you've got any questions, we're available all the time. And our telegram group is where you will always find us.
And you can find a link for that in my bio or get it from anyone else as well. So thank you everybody. I'm going to pull this out on our song. This song was created by VI underscore NFT.
They have an ecosystem that creates music utilizing technology to make tailor made music and music videos as well. So if you've got your own project and you'd like your own song that sounds something like what I'm about to play now, then check out VI underscore NFTs.
And he's also known as blacks NFTs as well. So shout out to him and our introduction of our space. If you didn't hear it, we have an introduction that was created by Shaggy from CBW radio.
They are a fully licensed radio station that operates from the USA and the UK. They are a very web three friendly radio station as well. And Shaggy is an absolute legend as well. And he created our intro. So thank you to him for that too.
And a massive shout out to Doglins for all of the artwork that he's created for the community communities, for the website, the smart contracts and everything in between.
And he just made one for MySpace, which I scheduled for Monday. It's up at the top. Thank you for the graphic again, Christian. Much love.
Yeah, sorry. Yeah. While we're playing this song, definitely jump up at the top and set that reminder for tricky space as well.
And we also have our chat Tuesday space pinned at the top as well. If anyone wants to learn about Hangry animals and their membership path, that would be the space to go to learn about all of that and talk to Andrew Minton himself.
Thank you, everybody. You've been amazing.
Thank you very much, everybody. And if you've got the plus, you're one of us. Catch you next time.
