Full Transcription
I appreciate you bro
We also have
Doglins in the building
It is Christian Abbott
From the Stray Dogs Club
The Doglins official
Community Communities
Core team
And the Shibu Society
How are we doing Christian?
I'm all ready
I'm okay
Happy Saturday everyone
Glad to be here again
I love how Christian's
I love how Christian's name
Just gets longer and longer
As time goes on
I don't know
What's the next one going to be
You need to add some more
There's some more accolades in there
Let's do
The Catcoin maybe
I'm doing something for them
Okay
Yeah yeah
I'm doing something for them
But I might be able to join the team one day
As well
That's it
Depends on how good of a job you do
If you do a good enough job
They may get you on the team as well
So we'll have to throw that in the mix as well
Exactly
Looking forward to tonight
The Catcoin core team
Catcoin core team
Oh god
That's going to be a really long mouthful
That one
Yeah I'm going to start sounding like
Our epic rapper guest here as well
You should do it in a rap actually
I know yeah
I might not have to
But yeah
We do have a core team of eight
Which we normally get up on the stage
They can't always all join
Because we're always working in the back end
At the same time
But I think we have just about
Half of them here at the moment
Also we normally have two co-hosts
But one of them I think
Must still be away with family
It is that time of year
So we do have to do that
Yeah it's Christmas
I think a lot of people are doing family stuff tonight
It's not good enough
My family's right here
My family's right here
You don't do IRL
It's just
It's just Web3 and that's it
But no I'm just kidding
But yeah
We also have Miss Evie in the building
But she's not on stage just yet
And we also have the one and only Tray
In the building as well
He's not on stage yet
But we will introduce our guests
And then we will start with
V-I-N-F-T
If I'm saying that wrong
Then it's like five or whatever
That he might represent
Then do forgive me
But anyway
It would be six
But yeah
Well that's
So yeah
That makes more sense to be fair
But yeah
So V-I-N-F-T
Happy
Happy Saturday my friend
How we doing?
I'm getting your name wrong
Happy
Yeah
GM and
Happy Saturday
To all of you
Thank you for the stage
And I salute
All the people here
I really appreciate you
For being here
With the holidays and all
That means
Real commitment
To the NFT space
Well
My IRL name
Translated to English
It means black
And additionally
It has the initials
Derived from
My given name
Yeah
That's
Yeah
That's why
The handle
Black V-I
And yeah
Looking forward
To share more about
What I'm building
Thanks
Yeah
No problem
Thank you for joining us
Yeah
We're super excited about it
You know
We love the music as well
And we appreciate you
Making that
What a great way to get
You know
People's attention
You know
I thought it was absolutely brilliant
And you know
We appreciate you
Letting us use that
And we play every space
And you know
We always give you a shout out
But I was calling you
V-I-N-F-T
But now we've featured you
And I know it's black NFT
I can make sure I say that correctly
And you know
Give you the official shout out
Every space
So we appreciate that
But yeah
I will jump back to you
In just a moment
But yeah
So yeah
Thank you very much
We also have
Hypebeast
Who we're featuring tonight as well
Super excited about that
Because we haven't featured you guys yet
Good afternoon
Happy Saturday
How we doing guys?
Hey hey
Doing great man
This is Baffles
Behind the
Hypebeast
PFP here
My full handle is
Baffles
Mother of Dragons
Bringer of Doom
And Ruler of Lands
So you can get the whole title
Okay
You and Christian
Will get on absolutely fine
Yeah
That sounds a bit like my title
Yeah
Let's go
I absolutely love that
I need to remember that
Just so I can say that again
What is it again?
You have to say that again
It sounded too good
Oh no no
Now it's just Baffles
I can't do it again
Yeah I was going to say
The title Baffles People
So it kind of works
I love it
But no
Nice to meet you Baffles
We appreciate you joining us
And you know
We're super looking forward
To breaking down
Your ecosystem too
And getting to know
You guys more as well
So yeah
So as I was saying earlier
We feature two guests
We give each guest
Up to an hour long slot
You don't have to take
The full hour
If you either can't
Because you don't have
That much to talk about
Or whether you
Where you just don't want to
That's totally fine
But you know
Almost all projects
Do take the hour
I mean if any
More often than not
People take longer than that
Just because
When you start to break down
Your journey into Web3
You know
Yourself as a founder
Your projects
And everything in between
The time absolutely flies
So you know
We do it like this
Just to give you guys
A more laid back approach
So that you're not just
Trying to like rush it
Into a ten minute slot
You've got enough time
To you know
Really talk about it
But also to give people
Who are listening
The chance to really
Get a good understanding
Of what it is
That you're building
And who you are
As a founder
Because you know
That's probably
The most important part
Of any project
Is you know
The people who are behind it
Because you know
If people want to invest
Especially financially
You know
You want to know
That you're getting involved
In something
That you can trust
And you know
It's not something
That is just built
In an instant
It takes a long time
So it just gives people
To get a better feel
Of the founders
Behind the project as well
So yeah
So we will start
Tonight's space
With black NFTs first
And then we'll move
Over to hypebeast
So I hope
That that's okay
Yeah
Thank you for the stage
So basically
I'll go right
Into the
Into the
What I'm building
What I'm building
It's a very complex project
With lots of perks
And that will bring
A lot of value
For the NFT holders
I'll try to keep it
As simple as possible
And to the point
And yeah
If you have any feedback
Will be highly appreciated
As we all know
Web3 is community based
And the best way
To grow community
Is with content marketing
The case I'm making
Is that
Another idea
To own on the blockchain
Is multi-purpose content
Keep in mind
That this is only
One of the perks
And not the full utility
Of the NFTs
I'm presenting
The most consumed
Forms of digital content
Are short form video
Educational content
And hip hop music
So in the project
I'm building
I've merged
Educational content
About web3 and NFTs
With hip hop music
In short form videos
Recorded on blockchain
As NFTs
Yeah
I've shared
The piece
To get a feel
In the plus community
Group chat
Keep in mind
That short form video
Is the feature
Of content
And anyone
That will have
Access to a platform
To generate video content
Will basically
Rule socials
I have already
Launched
33 NFT videos
On the Polygon blockchain
Priced at
100 Matic
Basically
That's around
70 USD
And the point
Is to
Do a fundraising
To build
The project website
Just to begin with
In the web3
I think we need
Some kind of
Checks and balances
I do a fundraising
For a specific task
I complete that task
And launch more NFTs
For the next task
And so on
All the videos
And music
Are I generated
And the holders
Will have
Full IP rights
Over
Over this product
The main idea
Of the business
Is to eventually
Build a web3
Web platform
Where any user
Can generate lyrics
Can upload
Their own images
And integrate them
Into a video
When the video
Is generated
The users
Will have
The possibility
To either
Receive the files
Via email
And yeah
I wanted
Also to address
The idea
Of onboarding
Given the possibility
For a user
To mean that
Video is an NFT
That will be
Transferred to
Their crypto wallet
Of course
A step-by-step
System will be
In place
That will
Make this task
As frictionless
As possible
And if they
Choose this option
They will receive
A 10% discount
And yeah
With this
I want to showcase
The main feature
Of the NFT holders
That the NFT holders
Will benefit from
Revenue share
Basically
It will work
As follows
Like I said
I've already
Launched 32 NFT
That I'll be using
To build
Project website
After the website
Is built
I'll be launching
Another 100 NFTs
As you have seen
The result
Of the video
I've shared
It's already working
But everything
Is generated
On my computer
To generate
This type of
Content
Is very difficult
Because it takes
A lot of
Computing power
And at this
Point I'm still
Exploring solutions
To make it
Web based
So the first
Web version
I think
The best option
Is to just
Get a website
Running
With all the
Features
But only the
Lyrics
Generated
To be
Working online
All the other
Options
Like music
Generator
And video
Generator
Generator
To process
Them locally
On my
Computer
So yeah
The ones
That trust me
With their
Hard-earned money
To start
Receiving revenue
As soon as
Possible
And yeah
I think
The best way
To make that
Happen
Is to
Reimburse
100%
Of the investment
To the holders
That means
From the first
Video sale
That means
That 100
Matic
And after
That to
Share 10%
Of the price
Of each
Video generated
I'm thinking
To price
These videos
In the range
Of 70
After
This phase
Is finished
I'll be
Launching
Another
NFTs
And use
This budget
For marketing
Purposes
And business
Growth
So yeah
There will be
A total
Of 100
NFTs
You can
This is
A long-term
Sustainable
Business
They can
Generate
Revenue
For holders
As long
As they
Have the
NFTs
It also
Means
Bringing
Liquidity
Into the
Space
Because the
Videos
Will be
Sold
In fiat
Mostly
And that
Will be
Converted
Into
Crypto
What would
Be the
Use of
These videos
And platform
The videos
I've
Already
Launched
As NFTs
Are all
About the
And web
Three
Space
Think about
What engagement
You'll have
If you post
A GM video
On hip hop
Primes
It's
Outstanding
It's never
Done before
And will
Generate
Engagement
In your
Community
That means
Likes
Comments
Shares
And yeah
That will
Help with
X algo
For reach
From
Web2
Perspective
Just think
How many
Applications
This
Can have
Let's
Someone
Wants
Promote
Their
Business
That
Will
Amazing
Explain
What
They
Music
Complemented
With

Basically
They

This
After
That
They
Click
Generate
First
Step
That
Information
Will
Come
Back
Website
generate
Those
Videos
Computer
Send
them via email or via crypto crypto wallet until i find this feasible solution to integrate all
of this on on the website because there are not many servers in the world that can generate all
of this stuff and put them together okay cool man i'm thinking like you know for for me for my brand
and for die revolution imagine having your book you know like i'm thinking like your web free book and
then everyone could come and then they generate like a jingle or some sort of do you know what i
mean like cool intro into their book page or their brand page yeah that would be that would be amazing
you know to sort of integrate that into it as well that would be really cool but yeah because i mean
first of all great questions unify as well um it's great for people to learn the process as well and
just to see where where you're coming from as uh as well um black nft um because it's a a really
great concept for sure and i was going to ask as well um you know have you got things in place to
assure people who purchase the songs and the music that they've got uh you know rights to use that
legally so that they can play it or benefit from it financially as well and you know there's not
nothing that's going to catch them out copyright wise or on any legal standpoints as well
yeah great idea i think um i'm going to the next i'm thinking the next year the first thing the first
thread i'm gonna write is with links to all the uh software and music with links to the terms of
conditions from where so basically um i'm not sure how up to date uh we are on uh chat gpt api but
there those are 100 free to use on the music generating side yeah i'll just shoot a link
to uh to uh the pace to the terms of conditions on meta when they say that it's uh free to use
for the ones that work on uh on that uh on the on the software yeah absolutely i just think it'd
definitely be a great touch especially for people that may want to purchase music and then use it
commercially or for their brands or businesses you know like people may want to create something for
um you know a video they may be they may be making and you know if they can utilize you know
the thing that you've created so that people can have a song written and music created i think it's
brilliant especially for you know for people who can't afford to pay for the full production of that
for someone to sit and do that you know they could utilize what you're what you're building together to
create that is i think it's a great addition to you know many people especially in web 3 that are
building brands and projects that are built around you know metaverses and and nfts i think it's a great
little feature
yeah um yeah basically the the music i'm using to to train uh this ai is uh all over the internet and
it's free to use basically there is even on uh in google uh on their search one second to
see exactly how that it's called um yeah basically they have uh a database with there's a database with
uh let's say uh new artist wants to to promote their uh new music they shoot it as free all over
the internet so anyone that wants to share it they wants to use it because for from their side that
that means promoting their uh their brand right yeah and i've seen a lot of that and um yeah yeah
they understand music a little bit because people there's also platforms that have like free samples
and stuff as well isn't there i mean i don't know what the the legalities are around it commercially
but i know there's definitely a lot of music that people create instrumentals and stuff for stuff for
people to uh to use for free i've definitely seen a lot a lot of those around but like i said i don't
know the the legalities around using it commercially but you'll know more than me on that
as long as long it yeah it depends uh on uh each artist in part basically but there are databases uh
where artists uh agree to use their uh their music commercially and what when whatever use they uh
because yeah for them it means promoting and uh this ai are is uh using those types of music to
uh so there are a couple of when the the mid-journey uh started it was a big problem with uh because
mid-journey didn't ask a lot of painters a lot of photographers to use their uh their stuff right
yeah absolutely yeah so to bypass the astor the meta ai uh meta um
uh uh meta audiocraft made uh database with uh artists that uh don't have this kind of issues
and uh yeah the the this ai is trained on that the database yeah no that makes sense so they have a
database of music that people can utilize for free especially music that isn't tied up in any prrs
licenses and that type of thing yeah exactly it takes a lot more to train the eye because the
database is a bit small compared to all the artists in the world but yeah that's what it is
and uh yeah this is uh i think this is the best way to respect the the work of the artist and move
things forward but like i said it takes a lot of time takes a lot of coding it takes a lot of
tries and errors and yeah and uh and so on yeah no absolutely um and you know like i said if you're
gonna have all that information on your website as well at least that way you know your your your
brand and business is covered as well then because then you can you know obviously give people the
reassurance that everything that you're purchasing people have got full rights to use however they see
fit because you've got you know you've got your bases covered and you've got all the proof that you need
to you know sure that that's the case because obviously you know no one can send the word for
it they need it in writing don't they yeah on on the other hand most of the i generated content if
it's images if it's music if it's video uh basically there there is no country in the in the world that
regulates this this stuff because they don't know how it takes a lot of money it takes a lot of manpower to
to to pinpoint to and say that's copied from that place right so uh yeah but like i said the the
database uh we are uh using we're 100 that it's absolutely free to use so yeah
so how um you know you've got an nfc project built around this so how does it have you got
lots of different song pre-made songs that people can sort of select through you know because i imagine
you've got um a lot of a lot of this on open sea for people to be able to purchase are you able to just
talk talk talk through that process as well yeah basically all the there are only 33 nfts at this
point uh everything is absolutely unique um and yeah basically they're minted there all are already
minted on uh on the blog on polygon blockchain and uh yeah the ones that uh will purchase these nfts will
have the the right absolute right as any other nft to use them whatever they want they can uh use them
for engagement posted on them and uh on their timeline and for likes comments shares they can use them
in spaces they can also use them to monetize in uh one tick tock on or on youtube but uh this is only one
of the first the main perk of these nfts is the revenue share model because uh when i start promoting the
the content generating platform to businesses to people to different groups
uh percentage of those people will uh generate videos they will uh after each video is generated they
will uh pay uh a price and uh yeah a percentage of that price will go back to the to the to the holders
group predictive. All right okay so you've got you know are you collaborating with artists and and
lyric writers as well so that you can also have people who also do this as a career choice as well
or is it just the um strictly just ai generated music
I'm thinking in the future, I'm about to launch around 1000 NFTs and yeah, if there are any
artists that want to use their artwork, especially photographers or painters or digital artists
that want to use their artwork in the videos, I'm open to suggestions, collaborations and
so on. And yeah, we'll find a way to make it happen.
Yeah, no, that's great. I think that'd be a brilliant connection and a great way for people
to collaborate as well. There is some, there is a lot of art in Web3 and the NFT space and
I'm sure it will be a good idea to put it to use as fast as possible.
Yeah, it would be super cool if, you know, if artists could just drop their stuff into
a library and then if it was used in a generated video, they would get like a percentage of,
you know, royalties or whatever that looked like for you. But that might be super cool,
you know, just have like a sort of pool of open data that people could drop anything they wanted
into, anyone, anywhere, any art. And then if that got generated into a video and that video was
produced and that video got views or traffic, that would be, you know, really cool.
Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely. But yeah, this is to have the collections and
to promote it to, I'm just thinking at this point, to promote it to people that would want to
make a video for their business, that would be a bit hard. But to use them in my NFTs that I'm about
to launch and pay the artist a percentage of the sale of the NFTs that I think would make more sense at
this point, for me, at least.
Very nice, man.
Yeah, I agree with that as well, because, you know, there is a lot of issues at the moment in,
well, probably globally, but, you know, predominantly Web3 with, you know, IP, people's IP rights being
infringed and, you know, people's artwork and ideas being stolen and just changed ever so slightly and
then used as their own and people are benefiting from it. So it's great if there's, you know,
ecosystems out there being developed that are respecting that and giving, you know,
both sides the opportunity to, you know, offer up their artwork to be used. But then people also who
may not have the creative skills that somehow have a pool of, you know, artwork and music and
lyrics that they can, you know, use to create the things that they're not able to create themselves.
Yeah, definitely, because I'm building this business for the long run and I'm also trying to find ways that
will not roadblock me on the way moving forward. So, yeah, I'm trying to take all the precautions and,
yeah, make all the things as clean as possible.
Yeah, that's great. And have you got a website up and running now? Or are you still in the process of
creating a website?
No, I've already launched, like I said, in Web3, I think we need some checks and balances.
I'm doing currently with these NFTs, I'm doing fundraising to build a project's website. After the
the project, after the website is built, I'll be launching more NFTs, building the next step, launching
more NFTs and building the next step. I'm trying a new way to develop an NFT project.
Zai, do you mind if I, if I just drop a little like mini pitch about Unify to that point? I don't
want to take, you know, I want to ask you first for permission.
Yeah, I mean, uh, is it just a quick one?
Um, but yeah, if it, if it's built up around, you know, the project somebody's talking about,
then yeah, there's no, no issue with that.
Okay. All right, cool. Yeah. So I'll just do a super quick one, right? So,
you know, like what you've just said, like you, you're raising money through an NFT collection to build
a website to gain awareness and like trackability and scalability to drive traffic and diverse
revenue. And so Unify, the whole point of Unify is we allow people to build on-chain e-commerce
websites for free and then monetize that system through their, um, engaging and incentivizing
their community. So, you know, again, I don't want to, I don't want to like overtake the thing,
go too deep on it, but you know, what you're saying that you want to do like as a foundation
is we might be able to help you just to get that sort of base level, um, recognition and
brand awareness within Web3, just using our platform and creating a brand page.
And then from there, obviously you can still do your raise and you can build a website alternate
to that. But this is just, this is a really great example of why we've built Unify, right?
Is so that people who don't have the budget to build a website, to create the foundation
of the dream that they have and the vision that they have to bring new value and utility
and onboarding to Web3. That's exactly what Unify is there for. So, you know, if there's any way that
we might be able to help you, I'm just letting you know that, you know, feel free to reach out
and we can, we can have a conversation about building your brand page and giving you that ability,
certainly in the basic sense.
Yeah. It's really, really appreciated. I should, uh, follow and yeah, let's, uh, let's, uh,
connect and explore how we can, uh, grow together.
A hundred percent.
Yeah. Thank you for that Unify. You know, that's, that's not even a, I won't even say that's a pitch,
you know, that's brilliant, you know, because that helps, that helps, you know, this project with,
you know, what they need moving forward, you know, because, you know, not every project that we speak to
or a fully built out project that have got the funds, the awareness, the team, the community,
you know, more, a lot of projects are still in that, in that, on that journey and, uh, still,
you know, building out the, their ecosystem. So, you know, having an ecosystem like yours
that helps people along that way, I think it's brilliant that, you know, you can now make that
connection with each other and help each other moving forward. I think that's brilliant.
Yeah, man, you nailed it. Like, it's exactly that. Like, I feel like this is such a young ecosystem
and every project and every founder has not only like already taken a step to prove their commitment
to bringing something to fruition, but they've also taken a step in, in the most difficult
ecosystem they could possibly make an effort to build anything in. And so, like you just said, you know,
like DiRev, I see you out there every day making content. You inspire me. Like your, we had a space
the other day and like my new year's resolution is to make a piece of content every day, like with
no excuses, because my excuse is always a reason to not do what I know needs to be done. And I see you
out there doing it every time. And so like, you know, the, the fact that V's up here, you know,
he's, he's from a web two environment. He's seen the future of web three and he's taken the plunge.
And so we've built Unify to make that transition as like seamless and painless as possible
and in the most secure way. And, you know, like this, this is, this is why I think this is such an
important ecosystem and why DiRev, what you're doing is so important because you give people a platform
to go out there and just build awareness and network because your network represents your network.
And, and that's so important in, in this ecosystem.
Yeah. Thank you for the, uh, the compliments and I appreciate that. And, uh, yeah, no, it's what
we're doing as a team as well, you know, cause you know, the, the most part of what happens,
um, you know, I'm, I'm sort of the finishing product of it, you know, the content I create,
Christian, you know, Mike Smart, you know, they've been in the backend making all the content,
putting it together, the artwork, they're structuring it, making sure it's professional.
You know, you know, they've made sure that they've done the due diligence on what it can
and can't be done. The legalities, what will or won't get us in trouble. Um, so, you know,
I'm really fortunate to be the, the fun side of it and the face of it. You know, I get to it,
I get to do all the enjoying while they get to do all the stressful stuff. So no,
I appreciate the, uh, the compliment and it's, we're fortunate to, uh, you know,
have a great team that helped the process and make sure that we get everything that we need
to get done every single day. But, you know, thank you so much for saying that, bro. I appreciate it.
Yeah. 100, man. You definitely deserve it.
Yeah, no, it's awesome. And it's great that we can grow together, you know, because we haven't
all got everything we need. And that's what makes Web3 so powerful is that we can, you know,
we can build the, that's the whole point, isn't it? It's creating the solution to people's problems
and then collaborating with the people who have the problems and you being the solution that,
that, that way you can both move forward. It's incredible. And you've done a great job
of that yourself. And, uh, you know, I'm sure there's, you know, almost every project to some
degree could utilize your services, even if it's just to utilize your platform.
Yeah, but that's it, isn't it? You said it. It's like we, we help people to solve their problem,
but then you also give them a stage to solve their problem, but also then provide the opportunity
to solve the problems of other people for the problems that you don't solve. So like we're at
this sort of foundation building stage where everyone really is, is inherently helping each
other. Obviously there's those that are having a negative impact. Um, but overall, just the fact
of being able to lift each other up in one way or another, you're bringing a new aspect to that
same project that could potentially help in a way that you were never even thinking about
and the same way, vice versa.
Yeah, definitely. No, well said. And, uh, yeah, great, great, great perspective for certain.
I appreciate that. That's awesome. But yeah, so that's great for you as well. Black NFT, you know,
you've got a platform there that you can utilize to help fill in those gaps and, uh, you know,
help take your, your vision to the next level.
Yeah. Looking forward to, to explore the, the possibilities. Yeah. Uh, if you are talking,
uh, if you, we were talking from, uh, the legalities, uh, yeah, I think it's worth mentioning that
the, the company will not be based in the, in the U S. So there will be no issues with these NFTs being,
uh, uh, security taking, uh, into account that they, uh, based on, on, uh, revenue share. Yeah.
Yes, Mike, welcome to the stage on the space. Um, you've got your hand up, sir.
Yeah. I just wanted to mention that while it might not be an issue for people, the person minting,
it will be an issue for people in the U S that will be participating because the, the laws would
be for the people buying the assets as well. So if we are purchasing unregistered securities
that would be considered a security in the United States, then we cannot participate legally is that's
how that would work from our end of things. Uh, yeah, I got it. But I, I don't know. I, uh,
just had the conversation a couple of days ago with, uh, with a lawyer exactly on this, on this topic.
And, uh, she assured me that, uh, as long as the, the company is not based in the, in the U S not the
holders, not the company will have any, any type of, uh, issues with, uh, with these NFTs being a secret,
but yeah, well, I'll just have to look more into, into it. Thanks. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, no problem. Yeah. I just, I'm like, there's a lot of stuff, information going around and things
change all the time. So it could be different tomorrow than it is today. But as far as the lady
that we interviewed for NFT, the movie that worked for the sec, she gave us pretty clear guidelines of
the type of things that we can and cannot legally do. Uh, but yeah, I would like this to speak with
a lawyer, you know, so basically what you're saying that there are some, uh, some issues, uh, a couple of
years back with Kim Kardashian, uh, selling, uh, some kind of crypto that was, uh, security. So
basically, uh, SCC, uh, went after all the holders that, uh, bought that, uh, that crypto in the,
in the U S basically that's how it sounds like. Yeah. Like let's say for example, like I can buy guns and
sell guns in the United States without any repercussions. But if I were to sell you a gun or
like, let's say someone in the UK, a gun, them purchasing that gun for me is illegal. So I can
legally do whatever I want with these guns, but someone from another country cannot. And it's the
same type of concept. I got it. Yeah. Let's, like I said, I'll, uh, just have to look more into it or
yeah. Thanks. I have to say, I think like the only thing I'm aware of, and that's an awesome point
that you make, uh, Mike Mehta, um, is the only thing I am aware of, and it's well worth speaking
to one link solutions. Okay. Mike, um, like they are literally web free legal advisory and they are
fantastic. They, they work with a lot of the big blue chip projects, but the one thing as far as I am
aware is that if you are doing like work to prove that you are, you know, achieving a task or whatever,
then that, that revenue share side of things is okay. Oh, okay. Got it. Got it. Thanks.
Yeah. It's great to, uh, always keep up to speed with, um, you know, the way things are on this
standpoint, because it's, um, like Mike perfectly put, you know, it's, it's always changing and
evolving. And as long as we always keep up to speed with, you know, what is and what isn't,
or what can and what can't for everyone that we don't, we won't get caught out with anything.
And I think that's the, the important part, like Mike's been in this industry for such a long time and
he's seen it all multiple times over. So we're lucky that we have Mike around as much as we do,
because that way we're always, you know, one step ahead rather than, you know, being caught out and
getting slammed with something when you not, when you least expect it. So yeah, definitely great to
have the, uh, the outlook that, you know, the legalities are extremely important. And, you know,
I think a lot of people have had the same thought process of, oh, as long as it's not in the US,
it's fine. But I'm pretty sure that now maybe it may still be a gray area, but they are going to start
really buckling down on that. And, you know, with the blockchain being there for everyone to see,
they may not come for people straight away, but, you know, once they, uh, start utilizing AI
technology, I think, you know, they'll probably already have applications in place to be able
to track every transaction that was ever ill-just from the, from the get-go, I imagine. So yeah,
I think it's definitely important to make sure we've got our bases covered.
But yeah, so moving forward, um, we're almost coming up to the end of the first hour.
Um, we really appreciate the, uh, the breakdown Blacks NFT. Um, have you got anything else you'd
like to, uh, add about your ecosystem before we move on to our next guests?
At this point, uh, yeah, thanks. You were all, you were all great. Thanks. Uh, thanks for
everything. And, uh, yeah, looking forward to speak with you again. The hour goes so quickly,
huh? It's, uh, it's the fastest, uh, fastest hour of your week, I bet.
Yeah, it always flies, you know, when, uh, when you first think about speaking on a space for an
hour, cause most spaces are like 15, 20 minutes. Sounds like a really long time. But, you know,
once you start diving into it, you know, and you start to talk about things you've been working on
for months, it soon flies by. Start to think an hour's not enough. But no, I appreciate your, uh,
your time tonight. And, um, you know, I do obviously, we'll, we'll still be in communication
for the foreseeable, but I definitely wish you the best with it from that you're building. And
we look forward to getting you back on and finding out where you are in a few months time. I'm
sure you'll have made steady progress by then. Thank you so much. Looking forward to it.
Yeah, cheers. Thank you so much. Yeah. So we will be moving over to
Hype Beast. Um, thank you so much for the patience for the first hour. Um,
absolute testament to you guys being patient and, uh, supporting our first guests for an hour long.
We appreciate that. Um, thank you to everyone as well who's shared the room and put and
reposted that. We really appreciate that. That helps us get more eyes on all of these amazing
projects. So yeah, we will move over to our next guests, Hype Beast NFTs. Thank you for your patience.
How are we? Hey, no problem, man. Like, uh, we've been in the space for over a year now. And so
Twitter spaces aren't anything new to us. And I remember pretty clearly my first Twitter space,
how nervous I was and, you know, how rough it was to find the right words to say and, and, you know,
props to the VI over there for, you know, coming up and, and sharing what he's doing. And, you know,
I know it's nerve wracking brother, but just keep doing it. It'll get easier.
Yeah. Well said, buddy. Um, definitely well said, and it's a great point to make, you know,
public speaking on any regard is difficult, you know, especially when you're being questioned about
things and you know, you're talking to a room full of people you've never met that, you know,
it's recorded people are listening. So yeah, testament to everyone, you know, it's, it's,
it's not a difficult thing to do. So especially if this is the first time you spoke about your
ecosystem as well, you did a great job. Well said, well said, thank you for saying that.
Yeah, absolutely. So Hype Beast is kind of in the same vein. Um, we're, we're in the same
neighborhood is what the blacks NFT over there is doing. Um, Hype Beast is okay. The, the pitch,
right? The, the way we market it, it's AI generated, hand curated, uh, one of one gallery quality NFTs.
Uh, Hype Beast is an NFT art project, right? This isn't, uh, commence, you know, 25 of these things.
And then in a year, you're going to be a millionaire. This is about art appreciation. This is about
golden boy. Our founder found a love for AI generated art, and he has been working tirelessly to
perfect the art that he's putting out. Um, this, the current collection that we're minting right
now is not our first. We've, we've put out quite a few collections. Um, and it's all in hopes that
somebody in the community will find that one piece that resonates with them. I don't care if you come
by 25 Hype Beast. I want you to come find that one Hype Beast that you want, right? Um, we want the art
to speak to you. Um, we've, we've got multiple different genres of art so that we can find
something that everybody can appreciate. Um, we have haunted, which are kind of scary and graphic.
We have graffiti. Some people like the graffiti art. Um, we have holiday stuff, which is more festive and,
and, and happy. Um, we just launched our, well, we just launched back in January,
we launched our OG collection, which is the big collection. Everything else has been small in
comparison. And, uh, the OGs are the ones that have some utility to them. Um, and then recently
we launched our new holder, uh, NFTs, um, for giveaways, which is the Hype City Beast, which if you
think back to the days of like Grand Theft Auto Vice City, that's the kind of style this art is. Um,
we really, really want you to find one piece in any of our collections that, that speaks to you
and that represents you, right? All kinds of different animals, all kinds of art styles.
But that doesn't mean that just because you're buying art, that it doesn't have some benefit to it.
The OG collection has images sprinkled through it that are actually going to be showcased in
the art book that the founder has just completed and we are getting ready to self-publish
and hopefully get out on the marketplace soon. Um, if one, if you're holding one of those images
that's in that art book, you will get royalties from the sale of that book. Um, he is also trying
to push that art out into real world settings. We want people to appreciate it who aren't even in
web three. He's got connections at art galleries and we are trying to get the art out there so that,
you know, your mom and dad who don't know anything about crypto, they can go somewhere and appreciate
it in person. Um, obviously everybody wants it on March. Everybody wants, you know, to wear it around
and see it in real life, but we're thinking bigger. We're, we're focusing on the art portion of this.
Um, the last year we have not been focusing on, you know, what a lot of projects have been. We, we not
so big on the utility in our project. We're more on branding, on marketing, on building communities
and building reputations. Um, we have partnered with a ton of different projects. We have collabed with
artists. We've got a music artist, Nessie the Rilla. I don't know if you guys have heard of
him before, but he is fantastic. He did our hype beast anthem. Um, I'm not set up for audio here,
but I do have it. If you guys would be open to hearing it later, but it's, it's a banger. I said,
it is my ringtone. It is the intro to our Twitch stream that we do with marble racing. It's kind of
a community engagement thing and hoping to spread awareness about our, our brand. Um,
um, literally we joined up with, um, the aura exchange recently, and we found that the best
utility that we have when we partnered with them was in the collaborations and partnerships realm
because of all the, all the partners that are in that exchange, um, community, we can tap people
much faster that actually fit our brand. Um, we don't have to go and sit in a Twitter space and listen
to people for an hour and then start a DM conversation with them and try to, you know,
build a relationship that way. We find people that match what we're doing and that, that fit in when
we bring something out. Now that doesn't say that we're not trying to do utility. We still are. It's
that we're focused on the art. We've tried things like a rewards card program. Um, it ran for a few
months. It did pretty well. And then OpenSea tried to start messing with, um, the royalties for the
NFTs. So it kind of hampered us. Well, we pivot, right? Not, not everything you throw out at the
world is going to stick. So we have to be able to pivot and move to something else. Um, recently we've
started developing community building games. Um, we've got a custom duck race type game that we're
putting out that other projects might be willing to buy from us to use for their communities. It's
customized for their project. Um, we've been working on a custom rumble bot for discords that
people can have customized to their project. These are things that we're looking not to sell to
the holders, but to other projects. Um, we think that by offering tools to projects,
kind of in the same line as the, uh, the, the market, the website builder that was just talked
about a few minutes ago, we think that by marketing to other projects is a better, more, um,
sustainable way to go. I don't think there's ever going to be a shortage of projects in web three,
um, holders, right. We see that people's, they just change hands. They, they don't, we don't,
we're not getting a lot of new holders in as my point, we're seeing a lot of people bouncing around.
So we are, we're focusing on the projects themselves. Um, we have other ideas for things
that are coming. Um, we're a small team, so they're, they're a little slow, but people that are here in
our community now that are buying our NFTs, they are here because of the art, because of the
community. And because of the fact that we're not going anywhere, right? We've showed longevity.
We've shown that, you know, yes, we minted a bunch of NFTs and we we've made some money,
but all that money has gone back into the project and they see that that's where that money is going,
right? We're not lining our pockets with it and bouncing out and going and starting another
collection somewhere else. We're here to build. We're here to try to give them what they want,
but also to make sure that the art gets out there. So that's a long winded, you know,
elevator pitch, I guess, but I'm open to any questions you guys got. And I, I'll just focus
on the art part of it. That's where our main focus is. Yeah, no, it's no problem. That's the
whole point of the hour. And, uh, you know, the people who listen in are of the understanding of
that and, uh, very patient and open in to learn about ecosystems like this, you know, this is,
you know, years of work and many people working together, you know, for long periods of time to
create this kind of magic. So, you know, we, we love it. We appreciate you, you know, taking the
time to really break it down and help us get a better understanding of what it is that you're
making. Um, and, uh, yeah, or exchange are amazing as well. So it's great that you guys are a
partner project in there as well. Yeah, for sure. I don't know if y'all found that the,
the accessibility to other projects has expedited how fast you can create collaborations and
partnerships. It's, it's a, it's a, um, I don't know, co-sponsoring tool on steroids. It just,
everything goes faster. Yeah, that's brilliant. Definitely great to, uh, have that, you know,
that place to, uh, to network like that. And, um, yeah, no, I think that's brilliant. You know,
we're in there as well, which is awesome. We love those guys and, uh, you know, we're looking
forward to, um, to collaborating closer with the projects that are in there as well. So,
you know, it's great that you guys are in there too. Absolutely.
Yeah. So, um, so to dive deeper into what you're building, you know, what is your, your vision long
term, you know, what is your, your end goal, if you will, you know, I mean, that may be a quite a,
an open question because, you know, there may be a multitude of things, but, you know,
what is the overall view of what you would like your ecosystem to look like five years from now?
So, yeah, again, it all comes back down to that art, right? Like our collection,
this, this current OG that's minting now it's 10,000 pieces, but that's, it's already generated,
right? We've already curated all those pieces. We're hoping that people stay here and find a piece
that fits them. And I know I already said that, but like, it, it may take a while to get to some of
the rare images. Golden Boy only puts one ape in every collection he does because he's kind of got
an anti feeling against the apes in the space, right? I don't know. Every other project seems to
put out something with a monkey on it, but aside from that, like, we want the holders to kind of
voice what it is they want from us. We're, we're being led by them because we're focused on the art,
right? And I know a lot of the projects out there are coming into this space with,
well, I've got this idea. This is going to be a great utility. We'll toss some art together and
we'll get that utility out there. I think we're approaching it from the other side. Like, here's
our art. Now, what would you like to see us do with it? And we're, we're listening to them. And a lot
of them have come with some really great ideas. We've got one holder. He, uh, mind you, I didn't mention
this. You have full IP rights to the images that you meant. So one of our holders is actually
talking about opening. I believe it was a gym with his, uh, NFT holdings and, and branding it with,
uh, hype beast stuff. Great. Go run with it. The only thing you're not allowed to use is use the
hype beast name, the images they're yours. You bought them. Um, you know, obviously
web three hasn't quite caught up yet with the actual JPEG being stored on chain yet. I know there's
some projects out there that are doing it. We'll, we'll get there. Right. But I hope that
as we go and as we build out and we find the utility that our community wants that will,
will focus us on a direction. And so in the next five years or so, I hope that we found that niche
that we can fill and that we are, we are programming. We're devving toward, um, golden boy,
the founder. He is, uh, from the video game dev world previous to web three. Um, and that's why
we're trying to bring these community games and stuff out to, to sell to other projects or to market
to other projects. Um, I don't know if hype beast game is a thing in the future. We haven't ruled it
out, but obviously, you know, that stuff takes money. That stuff takes planning for web three gaming is,
is, is, is tough, right? Like you can issue a token with it or a coin with it. And next thing
you know, it's completely worthless because it got drained in the game. You have to plan this stuff
out. Right. Um, I come from, uh, YouTube before I did interviews with a lot of projects before I came
into dev on a project and I've seen pitfalls of a lot of these projects. Um, I think the tech is going
to move us somewhere new and we need to be ready to pivot with it. So just because we don't have a
utility now doesn't mean that there won't be something revolutionary coming out soon, whether
it's hype beast or whether it's any project, right? Like the technology is fast changing. AI is catching up
and starting to take over everything. And I think that web three is going to explode in the next five years or so.
So real quick, um, this is short round. I'm one of the other devs with the hype based team,
and I just kind of want to add a little bit to that with utility. And we keep saying, you know,
as the technology changes, as web three grows, we have to be ready to pivot, to change, to grow with it.
But that doesn't mean that every time that we're creating or adding a utility, we're not adding
utility for utility sake. We really want to make sure that what we're adding actually brings a true
value, whether it be monetary or whether it be something that is for the holder. So all of the
utility that we're looking at and that we're testing and that we're proposing is all things
that we make sure aren't just, just because, you know, we don't want it to be like that.
Yep. A hundred percent.
Yeah. I was going to mention too, like a lot of the beauty of web three and being a part of
communities like this one is that we're all building stuff like games and comic books and
feature films and stuff like that. So it's great to not have to recreate the wheel. And if you want to
segue into providing utility for your holders, you can just, you know, partner up with somebody who's
already doing it. And the beautiful part about having your IP is that you can just jump it on over
into a 3D rigged character and become something, become a part of something that's already in motion.
Yeah, exactly. I, like I mentioned before with my coming from YouTube, when I was talking to
projects, one of the ones that I found that absolutely fascinated me was actually film three.
It's, it's a sector of web three, right? Where they're actually producing films on chain and stuff.
I can see the IP that we are putting out there. I can see that in animated series or even a, you know,
CGI film or whatever. I can, I can totally get behind something like that. Is that the direction we'll go?
I don't know yet because that's, that's a lot of money. That's a lot of time. That's a lot of
planning that goes into that. Well, I would love to see it go that way though. And that's the beauty of
the style of IP that we have is that we have genres that we can lean to, whether it be a comic book or
whatever. I'm, I'm open to whatever the community throws at us. I'm, I'm willing to look into it,
see if it's marketable, if it's financially possible and to see if the team, if we can build
out the missing pieces we need to keep moving forward. And that's, that's been our mantra all
along for over a year now is, you know, keep giving the community what they want and keep
pushing forward to the next thing, whatever that is.
Yeah. I just, um, it's really inspirational stuff. I think, um, you know, building with the community
first, again, like it always amazes me how these spaces seem to, um, uh, draw like-minded projects.
Obviously, you know, it's marketed that way, but, um, you know, it seems everyone up here is building
with the greater, um, the greater good in mind, I guess, you know, with the community in mind,
with how individuals can benefit with, um, decentralization and independence. And,
you know, to hear some OGs speak in the way that you're talking, um, and with the experience that
you've got, um, I just think like, you know, it's, it's clear to me that this is such a young
ecosystem that the potential that is about to be unleashed is just ridiculous. Like,
I don't think anyone's really aware of how big this so-called bubble is. And when it pops,
it's, you know, people like you, people like DiRev that are out here all day, every day,
you've done your 10,000 hours, you're, you're, you know, experts in the space, you have experience,
but the difference is, is that you're building with community, you know, with, there's no individual
in charge here, you know, like, yes, we guide and we, we, we put our voices out there, but overall,
it's the, the group, the hive mentality of that, you know, unified, um, community that's guiding
these projects. And that's why I think like the next five years, like you say, it's going to be
insanely exciting because there's generational wealth happening, there's opportunity happening,
and there's innovation happening. And this is, this is like, um, you know, a moment in history that
we're lucky to be a part of, I think all of us. Yep. I agree with you.
Yeah. Thank you. Well said, buddy. And, uh, yes, it is, it is great that so many like-minded people
come together and, uh, you know, work together on building these incredible ecosystems and, uh,
you know, Hypebeast sounds incredible by the way. And, you know, just the more I look through the
website, the more I just see how, how much time and energy and efforts gone into it. So, you know,
I am looking forward to, uh, hearing more of this unfold. Um, but before I do, Bella,
welcome to the stage. How are we? Happy Saturday. Happy Saturday. Hey guys, look,
you know, adopt a plus first thing, because we are trying to promote positivity in web three.
Now, the beast. A story for me is when I found the beast, I just, I found home. I mean, you know,
I'm home and home for, but when I found Hype City Beast, they just, they're, I can go in there and
say, Hey, how are y'all not feeling the best? They bring me up. It's a community. So
you know, we, I'm getting all emotional now, but all right. Anyway, we love the beast. We love
community of communities and Trey who's with you, but get the plus, listen to the beast. They know.
You're amazing, Bella, as always. Thank you so much for your positivity. And it's, it's great to
hear that you care so much. And it just goes to show that this is more than just a group of people
that are confused about what could or could not be, you know, it's so much deeper than that.
You know, we all realize the value of this and how this can uplift all of us and the people around us
and the amount of value that can be interjected into the things that are moving forward is just,
there has no limit. So thank you for always highlighting that, Bella, and you know,
caring so much the way you do. So we appreciate you. Thank you.
Yeah, we love you, Bella.
But yeah, so as always, Bella always hits us in the heart, which is amazing. Thank you very much. But
yeah. Back to you, bro. I'm loving the way that you've integrated so many different attributes to
the ecosystem. And like, you know, Mike said perfectly about the IP ownership and that,
you know, if you, if there's ecosystems that already do specific things that you can collaborate
and utilize each other without having to, you know, reinvent the wheel.
Yeah, that's, that's the, the, the main thing that we've been focusing on for months now is like,
you know, we have a very good, um, diverse dev team where we've got, you know, somebody with game
dev experience. We've got a writer on the team. We've got a couple of people that are fantastic at
social media and marketing, um, branding. Like we've got all these things in place, but we're not all
inclusive, right? Like we couldn't go out and just create a film with our IP. We need to collaborate
with that. We need to, to make those connections. And that's what we've been doing is focusing on that
while, you know, pursuing the little things that we've been trying to do for the project.
Um, we'll touch on the, the elephant in the room. A lot of people want to bash like mid journey,
mid journey is what gold uses to create the beast. Um, we, we've kind of coined a saying,
I guess you wouldn't tell a photographer that his picture of the sunset is an art, right? Um,
just because he used a tool to capture something in his view, I guess, in his viewfinder, the way he
sees it that's already out there doesn't mean it's not art. Um, everybody sees the sunset differently,
right? And just because somebody took a picture of it doesn't mean it's not art. He goes through
every image that he generates with mid journey. And I mean, you've probably seen a ton of NFTs coming
out that are AI generated, little fuzzy, cute creatures. Well, they've got nine toes, you know,
they've got an eye that's looking the wrong way. Like he goes through and make sure these things are
legitimately as picture perfect as he can get them. I think a lot of people want to easily pass off
that AI is doing it all. He has put in countless hours to, like I said, curate these by hand to make
sure that the stuff that's going out is the best. And if one happens to slip through the crack and a
holder, you know, recognizes it and tells him, he goes in and fixes it for them. It's not just,
you know, Hey, sorry, it's minted. It's yours now. Like, Oh my gosh, his eye is crooked. Let me go fix
that for you. And he'll fix it and refresh the NFT form. There's heart behind these NFTs. There's,
there is absolutely art involved. Um, I don't know. Like I said, people bash on AI art pretty hard.
I think that all of us that are creating some kind of art in the space are using tools.
The fact that AI does the pen to paper portion for you, I think is, is a weak excuse to say that
it's not actually art. Um, it's still gorgeous to me. Um, when the haunted hype beast actually
launched back in October of last year, I wasn't even on the team. I was a community member and I
saw the art in a Twitter space. I wailed in, I bought so many of those haunted because I thought
it was different. I thought it was super cool. I could see them being used for like heavy metal
music video montages or whatever. Like they, they, those things, they're goth. They're,
they're awesome art to me. And then, you know, he released the graffiti beast collection was
essentially a thank you for being a holder. These are what I'm giving you. They weren't minted. They
were just given out for prizes and, you know, for holders to do what they wanted with, you know,
that's one of our top sellers right now on, on secondary is the graffiti beast. People love that
little style of, you know, spray paint on the wall. And then, you know, when we moved into holiday,
mind you haunted, haunted beast are only a 600 piece collection, 666. The holidays are only 500
in that collection. When we minted those out, we decided those are the whitelist spots.
Or the OGs, right? The big 10,000 piece collection. And that's because the people that bought in on
those collections, we knew they wanted to be here. We knew they liked this art. We, that's why we use
those as the whitelist. And then the 10,000 piece collection, we're operating in the black, right?
Like we don't have to go out here and go like mint now, mint now, mint now. We found a US dollar price
that we liked for the quality of the art that he's putting out. And as the ETH price has changed,
we've adjusted our mint price to match that dollar range. So it's always in the affordable range.
If we'd left it where we've launched that at 0.04, I mean, that's over a hundred dollars now,
you know, that's, that's ridiculous. We don't think, I mean, I think the art's worth that,
but we don't think that's fair to the holders to ask them to pay that much.
So we've reduced our price all the way down to 0.015 at this point, right? We wanted to keep it in that
40 to $50 range ish as best we can. And we're not going to change it every day, obviously,
but we're going to keep it there in that area. And then like the, the hype city beast that Bella
loves the hype city beast was us again, trying to find something, an art style that that community
liked and just give it to them. We're not minting them. They're there for community engagement.
We're giving them to people. If you want to go sell them and make some pocket change on,
on Polygon, go do it. Right. That's why we give them to you so that you can get something back.
I don't know if we're here for, for, you know, just to make a buck. I don't see why we're giving
away two full collections. You know what I mean? So I, again, I, we're art focused,
we're community focused and that's where the heart comes from.
Yeah, no, I love that. And you know, the artwork is incredible. And I think you touched on some
good talking points as well in regards to, uh, you know, people's perspective of is AI art,
art or not art, you know, but before I dive into that, Mike has his hand up fire away, bro.
Yeah. And I just wanted to comment on that specifically too, because it is a good talking
point, right? Cause like some of us have been here before AI was available for us to use for
our projects. And like, for me, you know, I use AI sometimes to market with and stuff like that.
But when people, when you look deeper at what the AI actually is, is the culmination of hundreds
of years of people's talents combined into an algorithm that just shits out, you know,
different versions of those talents. And when you think about how long it takes for a true artist
to get the skills and hone those, the shading and certain techniques that you can recognize,
uh, per artist, you know, that you can't just, you know, come in and then just expect people to give
the AI quote unquote artists, the same type of respect that you would give a real artist that
has actually honed their craft over a decade or longer and created something that's unique that,
that, you know, just can't be printed out. But in the same sense,
people like you and people on your team who are actually sitting there, you know,
making sure it's quality and, and being able to hone your craft in prompting the,
the right questions, it's a whole different type of art. And that's what people don't respect from it.
And I think that they should, because I myself have used AI quite a bit and you can't just pump out a
perfect image if you don't know what you're doing.
People in mind too, that there's an art to the prompt that you have to put in there to get the
images you want, right? That takes a long time for him to craft to that prompt that goes in there,
because there's, like you said, multiple art styles. He has a very specific art style that
he likes for all of his realistic images. He's crafted a prompt that returns those images to him,
and it maintains a quality that he's expecting from it every time. And again, if it spits out
something sideways, he'll go in and he has to recraft that prompt so it gets him what he wants.
So there's art, not just in the visual form, but also in that written portion as well.
Yeah. And that's, and that's a different form of art as well. And so for people like me and there's,
I'm not the only one who has been here for quite some time, spending thousands and thousands of
dollars on artists to help curate something that is, is, you know, unique and quality. And then to
have this era come along and, and say, oh, okay, well, all of your time was moot because now we have
these professional artists, you know, but it's just AI coming through and making some super epic
shit. When it took me weeks and weeks, you know, curating the, or, uh, you know, finding the right
artists to fit my vibe and then waiting for them to finish something and going back and saying, Hey,
bro, like, I don't like this change that. And they spend their real time doing it. And now, you know,
the tools have just accelerated to a point where that created a, uh, an era of boomers, if you will,
for the web three space to where we, we expect to have the similar success that some of these AI
artists are having. And it's just not happening because you can't match the, you know, the art
quality of what can be produced today. That is not human beings. Yeah. And I think, I think you're
the nail on the head there with that, you know, because both deserve a respect in their own right.
And I think that that's the perfect way to look at it. And I think that, you know, it does require
a men's skill to create AI correctly, because like you said, it doesn't just do it on its own.
It requires the skill of knowing how to prompt it, but then also how to then, you know, nurture
that image to a perfect end result. But at the same time, an artist who does spend, you know,
a decade home and a craft isn't going to have the same level of respect as an AI artist that
doesn't necessarily need to do that. So I think, I think that's the nail on the head there is that
they both deserve an absolute respect for, for being two totally separate things. So I think, yeah,
they are, you know, most definitely different, different in different leagues of their own. But,
you know, being an AI artist, I think is the top end of AI generated art that does look absolutely
incredible due to the correct prompting and the prep skills and, you know, the correct, you know,
because you've got to have an eye for art, haven't you? You know, you've got to be able to know what
you're looking at and know how to look at it in a way to get the best result at the end.
So I think that was perfectly put. Sorry.
On the flip side, on the flip side of that argument too, I'll tell you like the space,
right? The, the whole web three scene, the whole art scene, both they're separate, but they're
together. Once they catch up, it'll be a moot point because I go back to when NFTs first came out,
right? Like it was all generative art. It was all layers. And to me, I was like, well, I mean,
that's kind of art. They drew the things, but they had the computer, put it together for them.
And now my wallet is full of those things, right? Like it's our perspective shift and our, our taste
shift along with it. I think once everybody realizes AI is not going anywhere. And like,
once we have some of the, um, uh, IP, uh, royalties or the credits or whatever in place,
whatever needs to be there for the artists to, to feel attributed. And if something of theirs that
was used in the creation, I think everybody will catch up and, and the, the whole scene will shift,
right? I think it's still early for AI art. I think where I think hype beast is ahead of the curve on
it. Whenever we're talking about, you know, trying to lay foundations here for, um, art respect or art
acknowledgement. Um, that's, that's the other side of that, man. We all bought apes that were
generatively layered at the beginning, right? Well, I mean, I was making NFTs before the apes
came around. So I have a little bit different perspective on the matter. Yeah.
Yeah. Apes came around at the end of the Renaissance, in my opinion, like the, the Renaissance
2.0 was pre board, a pre, you know, pre generative art really. And when they started incorporating all
this generative art is when it became something less valuable in my opinion.
I agree. I, the, the oversaturation definitely has not helped.
Something else with the AI art that I find really appealing, and this isn't just AI art, it's AI in
general is that it is also helped with accessibility. There are people that have these beautiful images
in their head and maybe they're just not able to put pen to paper. Um, there are people who have
disabilities that prevent them from making this art, but it doesn't make what they have in their head
any less, um, worth sharing. So now they have a way to build that out and to use AI to create the
prompts. And it's, it's basically using the technology to just grow something. And again,
I just very clearly there, one is not better than the other. They're both super important in their
own ways. And honestly, for example, the graffiti beasts, which I think are super fun, the graffiti
beasts being AI generated could not have been created without somebody sitting down with a spray paint
can and creating graffiti art in the first place. So it's kind of, it's just the, the advances and the
technology passed it. So it's, it took and required those hours of somebody making that art physically
to make it come to life digitally as well. So they all kind of feed into each other and have grown
into something that is just big. Yeah. My mind goes to 3d houses, like 3d printed houses.
We wouldn't have been able to create 3d printed houses if we hadn't had architects building,
you know, from scratch for decades or hundreds of years. And, you know, so like saying that a sound
structure isn't as valuable as another type of sound structure, because the technology advanced
would be ignorant. And I would agree that that would be the same for this conversation as well.
It's just that to be able to move past the bitterness as a, as a whole from the people that were here in the
beginning who have their ideologies planted, you know, and then the people who are coming here
after all is said and done, who have new ideologies with new experiences that are equally as valid.
It's just that communication between those two is what's going to be the most difficult thing to overcome,
I think. Yeah. And I was just going to say that so perfectly put, because I once went to an event
and there was two artists next to each other, one was an AI generated art based project and the other
one was an actual artist. And I think this doesn't take away from AI generated art, I just think it elevates
artists in general, even higher to say that they was able to do that from a
skill they took 10 years to learn, you know, so I think they are, they both require lots of skill.
And like you said, Mike, that, you know, a solid structure is a solid structure, however it was
created. So I think you're absolutely right on that, that, you know, I don't think it takes anywhere
from takes anything away from AI generated art. And it's just going to be the perspective
between the people that utilize either the skill sets that they have created over years or, you know,
prompting AI to create amazing artwork.
How many, how many songs, how many songs out there are made with the same four chords, right?
Right. All of them.
Right.
All the nineties anyway.
Yeah. A hundred percent.
But yeah, I must, I must say as well, that high based art is absolutely incredible. And the detail is
phenomenal. Uh, by the way, I think that, yeah, definitely incredibly, incredibly skilled AI
generated art for sure. It's not just, uh, your everyday type it into an app. It's definitely
a very skilled individual. That's got a great eye for art. That's, that's carefully put those
together. I've just got to just, you know, I just had to add that in.
Yeah. Yeah. And, and like I said, the, the popularity of the free collections that we have
out there is insane. The hype city beast that we, that we're currently just giving to the community
for being awesome community members and engaging, like people have gravitated, gravitated toward
that collection. Bella absolutely loves them. And, um, I, I think it's a nostalgia thing, right?
Cause it's kind of in that art style of, of like Grand Theft Auto by city. Like I said, um,
I like it because the colors, right? I personally gravitate toward the bright, um, you catch any of
my streams anywhere and you'll see it's all purple and pink and blue. It's bright neon colors. It fits
me to a T, uh, custom NFTs that I've had made it. It's always those color schemes. So I gravitate
towards these as well. It's just a matter of you finding what it is that you like in this, in,
in any of these collections, right? If, if you can grab one, dude, I'm telling you there,
the floor is so thin on our collections and nobody, everybody's diamond hand in these things.
They don't want to give them up, but the few people that have listed have undervalued them,
I believe. And if you can scoop one up off the floor of any of the collections or meant one,
that's not too expensive to meant, you're going to find something that you like in some of these
collections. And, um, short is actually my, my wife. Um, we are doing merch for the, for the
project and she has started putting these things on, um, metal signs. I have them hanging behind
me when I'm on stream, the, the colors and stuff really pop when they're supplemented on the metal,
like they are. And I would love for everybody to have one of the beasts hanging in their office or
their home, you know, in the bedroom or the living room or somewhere. It, you don't even
have to frame it. Like it's already a piece of art hanging on the wall. And if you resonate with a,
with a particular style or a particular beast of any, any of them, it could be a lion or a
llama or dog or whatever it is, whatever it speaks to you, I want you to have it.
So if you're in the, in the space now or in, you know, you're like, Oh, that's kind of cool.
Come engage with us and get in our discord, play games. We're constantly giving stuff away.
Whenever you go to claim your prize, not only do we ask for your wallet before we send you your
prize, we ask you what your favorite beast is or what your favorite styles are like their clothes or,
you know, whatever we want to tailor that prize to you. So you appreciate it when you get it.
A lot of people are just like, Oh, this, this person won. Let me throw them a random NFT.
If they don't appreciate it, right. They're going to floor it. If they don't appreciate it,
then it just sits in their wallet and never gets looked at. We want you to go back and look at it
again. That's the whole point.
Yeah. And that's great that you've got that, you know, that mentality as well for making it
something that people enjoy because I think that that's what makes this so different,
especially when it comes to web three is it's, it's more, it's, it's, it's, it's more than just
the, the, you know, the art itself. There's so much more to it. I'm trying to think of the words
just slipped my mind, but you know, it's more like, um, you know, like a, like a genre.
It's a multitude of different experiences that have combined to create the end result.
You know, it's that makes that a more enjoyable experience because you get the art, you get
the community, you get the, you know, the, the, the people in the community as well that
really create a vibe that you just can't explain. You just have to experience it.
And I think that when you get the multitude of, you know, having a, you know, especially
when it comes to like having events and stuff and you've got loads of people that you vibe
with, with art that you enjoy and you have that entire experience. I think it's just, uh,
you know, I think it just makes the product itself more valuable because of who you get
to be around as a result of holding it. We're, we're so adamant about like getting more eyes
on the project and rewarding people that are, you know, engaging and whatnot. We have a community
member, well, we have a few of them actually, but one of them, y'all, y'all might know him from
other spaces or he might've been in your space before. Def Oglesby. If you don't know this man's name,
you're missing out. This man has the biggest heart. Like, is he in here right now? Yep.
He's in the audience right now. This man is so giving and so awesome for the community.
He gives stuff that he mints as giveaways for us. We recognize that he is coming out of pocket to
help promote us. We just dropped him a handful of NFTs today. And we're just like, Hey, there,
go give these away. Don't give away yours. Keep the ones you want and give the rest away.
Like we really are a project with heart. I know it's, everybody's going to tell you that, but
legitimately here, take this, go do what you want with it. Get rid of them. Keep the ones you want.
It doesn't matter to us. We want you to know that we appreciate you and that we appreciate what you're
doing word of mouth wise for our project, right? We can't be in every space. We can't, you know,
our tweets don't hit every person on Twitter, you know, Instagram, TikTok, we're trying everywhere,
but the more people that help spread that, if we can foster that, if we can, if we can show them that
they're appreciated and we appreciate what they're doing, I think that's how we grow. I think that's
how we do it better. And that's the same thing coming into these spaces and connecting with
projects like yourself. You know, if there's something we can do to help y'all advance,
I'm hoping that y'all look at us and think the same thing. Hey,
these guys are pretty awesome. Maybe we can do this together with them or do this for them,
or at least give them, point them in the right direction, right? We, nobody's going to make it
on their own. Everybody's either going to have to get out there and get in the ditches with a shovel
and, and, you know, dig that ditch themselves, or they're going to need an army behind them to help
get that word out there. And since it's just art, right, we want everybody to share that art and say,
look at this, this is what, this is what they're about. Yeah. And, and I couldn't agree more to that.
Yeah. And, you know, like, and just to help you see it from our perspective as well, you know,
a lot of questions that we ask and the things that we talk about, isn't necessarily because
we think a certain thing or believe a certain thing. It's because those conversations need
to happen. You know, there's a lot of, there's probably, and probably will be for years to come,
a lot of tension between people who strongly believe that, you know, hand-drawn art is the only
real talent required in art. And then there'll be people who think differently, but listening to us
talk about it and give those opinions and perspectives will help start those conversations
and maybe have people, you know, have the, you know, horizons broadened on the topic and help
them see it from, from both perspectives, you know. And I think that it's great that we can have them
conversations on them topics as well and have, and have people, you know, just hear that conversation
take place and see it from both sides.
Yep. Like I said, I'm here to grow with everybody. I'm here to grow with Jeff Oglesby. I'm here to
grow with the devs on the team. I'm here to grow with community of communities. I'm here to grow with
people I don't even know yet. You know, I don't think I've ever met a stranger, right? I'm here,
open. Let's talk. Let's see what we can do together. If we can't do anything together,
that's fine. But Hey, I met a new friend, you know, I met somebody else that appreciates the
web three. Yeah, exactly. And, uh, that, that predominantly is our mindset is that, you know,
we want web three to still be here 10 years from now. And it won't be if we're all fighting and
competing, you know, when instead we can be at a bottom layer coinciding and at a top layer,
you know, building together and, uh, you know, helping create an environment for people to build,
learn and grow. And that will only take place if we, you know, create that foundation for people
to do so. Um, I can see your hand up as well. Unify far away, brother.
Yes. Yes. Nice one, man. Yeah. So like, again, just hearing what you guys are saying,
right? Like about the community, about rewarding them, about, um, being able to see who's doing what
and, and how much they're doing, right? Like, again, like we feel unified so that you can
track and incentivize and reward your community through, uh, community marketing. So like by
building a brand page with us, you'll be able to then allow community members to sign up and
generate their unique affiliate links linked direct to their wallets, and then go out and create
funnels could be a post, could be a blog post, could be a YouTube video, could be a TikTok video,
whatever. These guys are going to be able to use those links to drive traffic to your product
services, community brand page, whatever it might be in return for a commission, you know?
And so you have analytics so you can see who's doing what the name, the username of each community
member and how much traffic they're driving. And, you know, when I hear you guys speaking so
passionately about it, it reminds me like why we built what we built, you know, because it's,
this is exactly why, because like we are nothing without our communities and like they're all so
dedicated and so passionate about our dreams that we've put into the world, right? To be judged by
others and to be able to track and reward those is like a special feeling, I think, and the ability
to really connect with individuals. Now, I loved what you were saying when you were talking to
VI down there. I already followed you. I plan to be reaching out and having a conversation because
I think that that would benefit Hypebeast quite a bit. We definitely need to have a conversation.
Love that, man. Yeah. A hundred percent. A hundred percent.
Yeah. And that's exactly what this is, this is about, is about, you know, connecting on these
levels and, you know, finding what we vibe with and how we can, you know, move forward and build
together on, on, on the great things that we create. So it's amazing when, you know, people
listen to different people speaking and, you know, people network and connect like this and we all
grow as a result of it. I think it's amazing. But Jeff has his hand up. Jeff, welcome to the
stage and to the space. How are we doing, buddy? Have you got a question, my friend?
Well, first I wanted to start off by saying thank you to you and the co-host here, because if it
wasn't for you guys holding this amazing space, you know, there's no telling where we'd be at. You
know, we wouldn't be, you know, meeting and actually being able to work together in the future.
Number two, when I started into a project, I don't usually jump in just because of the
artwork. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I want to get to know the developers, the team, you know,
get to know the people in the project and the community to make sure it's something I want to
be involved in. And then when you find an amazing project like Hypebeast with amazing art with all
these different, you know, drops that they're doing, I mean, it's just even, you know, AI or not,
it's still, you know, click on my PFP right now. You know, look at that. I mean, it's just so
perfect. It just pops. You know, there's so much going on in the pictures, uh, in the community,
in the artwork. I mean, the dev team is amazing. Uh, but cause I was getting tired of, I mean,
and don't get me wrong. I've still a big part of a lot of projects, but I don't know how old you are,
but back when I was in school, certain times of the year, we'll say like Easter, Christmas,
Thanksgiving, the teacher would pass out a photo or picture to all the kids and then we would color
it. So some people might have a green Turkey. Some might have a brown Turkey. Some might have a blue
Turkey depending on how they wanted to color it. And that's what all these NFTs look like. It was just
the same picture with just different colors, different backgrounds. So it reminded me of growing up,
you know, that's what we all did in school. You know, when you, with this AI art, you can actually,
there's no way you can duplicate this. You can try putting the same commands in twice
and it'll give you a totally different picture. So it's not going to be like a copy of a copy of a copy.
We love you, Jeff. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna lie, brother. Like I've, I've appreciated
you in the space for so long. So thank you for coming up, man.
Hey, no problem. And the other thing I'd like to do, I don't know how you guys want to do it,
but as even though I love this PFP that I've got, I want somebody in this room to be able to accept
it today. Just figure a way of getting, giving, doing a giveaway. And I will throw this, this PFP to
somebody in this room today.
Ah, no, that's amazing, bro. Yeah, no, Jeff, thank you for, for coming up and for speaking and, uh,
for offering such a kind gesture like that. I think that's incredible. Um, yeah, fair play to you on that.
And you're absolutely right. And how it's all about, especially when it comes to art, it's how it's
perceived to the, to the person, you know, and who, and how they see the world in regards of how
they're going to value, value, value that art, you know, and when you've got AI generated art,
that's so clean, um, that it really does trigger people's people's, um,
I can't speak tonight, you know, people's imagination, you know, and really, and really
piques people's interest in certain ways. And I think that just, just looking through the artwork
on the website and on OpenSea, I think it's so, so, so crisp and so well put together. I think that,
you know, even if AI art isn't your thing, I think that this will be highly respected just for
how well put together it is.
And there is one other thing I'd like to say. I don't care who, whoever's in this room,
look to the left, look to the right, look right up above you, look below you,
click on one of them PFPs. And if they have a link tree, share the link tree,
like something in their, you know, space on their page, you know, share some of this artwork,
you know, we got to get more people seeing what's out there. So, you know, it's free to like,
it's free to retweet, it's free to share, you know, don't, you know, don't be stingy with it.
You know, if you see something you like, let your friends know, let everybody that's following you see it.
You know, let's get more artwork out there available to other people.
Well said, bro. Well said, most definitely. And, and, you know, that's one of the things
I love so much about Web3 as well, is it's not just an incredible piece of art, but it's,
it's what surrounds it. And it's the people that surround it. And, you know, and it's the difference
people choose to make in these ecosystems as well. Like it's, it's so much more than just art.
And I think that's one of the most amazing parts about it is that, you know, once let's
take this as a great example. And again, for the kind gesture, thank you. But to someone who
may win that NFT will then want to learn about the project. So they'll join the community,
find loads of incredible people. They might find friends that they will vibe with for the next
10, 15, 20 years. And that came from one guy and no one had ever spoken to before that did a kind
thing that grew into an NFT that then gave someone a door into a community that then may choose to
purchase NFTs, use the IP rights and build a whole business and a brand around it and benefit so many
people just from, just from something that could have never existed at all. I think it's incredible.
It just really does showcase that we create the value. And if we can work together to uplift each
other and help support each other's communities and ecosystems, because there's enough room for
everyone. I think that Web3 will be a much better place as a result of it. So yeah, Jeff, you're a legend, my friend.
Yeah, if you're not following Jeff, you need to be following him. He finds the best projects,
and he is the best community member. You want him in your communities.
Yeah, no, I agree. I strongly advise everyone definitely consider showing support to each other
like that. And if you vibe with the art and the projects and the people, definitely follow each
other and support each other. And let's work together and show the rest of the world what
we're about. Because like I said, this runs so much deeper than just a PFP on the internet.
We're all people behind these profile pictures that really care about the world and what's in it,
and the Web3 world. And we really want to help each other, help other people find. It's not just
about helping us get seen by the rest of the world. There's people out there in the world that
need to find us to have their lives improved. And I'm not saying that's because we're something
special, although I feel that everyone in this room is. I just mean that, imagine not finding one
of the communities that you're in that you care a lot about, and knowing the impact that they've had
on your life, that people are yet to experience that. So we can work together to help people find
these amazing communities that they're looking for. So yeah, well said Jeff, and well said Hype.
Hey, Bella, fire away. You don't have to put your hand up. You're welcome to speak anytime.
All right. Thank you. Jeff, Southern. I catch a hint of a Southern accent. Can you tell me?
Missouri. All right. All right. Blown there. I thought you were Southern like me, but still love you.
Let's go. It's a small world that we live in, and it's even smaller in Web3, and I love that.
But yeah, let's dive deeper into Hype Beasts, because first of all, the website is incredible
as well. I was looking at that earlier, and for anyone that may not know, definitely check
out their website. It's absolutely brilliant. They've also got a 24-page white paper that you
can read, and if you really want to understand the project, you can go and read that and learn
literally everything you would need to learn. It's just hypebeasts.io forward slash hauntedhypebeasts
as well, if you want to just predominantly look at the hypebeasts that Baffled was talking about
earlier. But I think this is a great ecosystem, and I think you've done an amazing job of piecing
all of this together. And we're of the understanding as well. We know the hours that go into building
a community and a project, and just that white paper alone probably wasn't built in a day.
And I think that the way that you can clearly see that you've worked really hard and trying
to add as much value to the holder as possible, and also create such a friendly community as well,
which is very difficult to do, especially at the bottom of the longest bear market in history.
You know, huge respect for what you guys have managed to put together. I think it's amazing.
Thank you, and thank you for having us on the space tonight, because, you know, I'll be honest,
we've been burnt out on spaces, right? The oversaturation with Twitter spaces has been
getting worse and worse, I think. People, I mean, I don't know if you've seen viewership decline or not,
or listeners declining any or not, but, you know, I was of the mind that, hey, maybe we should move to
Instagram or TikTok and just do, you know, lives over there or something as opposed to Twitter spaces.
But to see the format that you've brought forth in your Twitter, in this space, I guess,
X space, whatever you want to call it, like, the format's appreciated, right? You give us time to talk,
and it's not just a quick 10-minute shill, and then we got to go sit and listen and retweet a bunch of
stuff. I like this format. I really do. Being able to talk not only about the project, but about the
tech and about the emotion behind why we do what we do, I think it's great, man.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie. You said earlier that an hour wasn't going to feel like a long time,
and when I first heard an hour, I was like, we don't have an hour's worth of time, and you're right,
it just flew by. So thank you so much for being so engaging and letting us share our passion
for both the community as well as our project because we've said it from the beginning. We're
not on an island of our own. We're not going to be able to do this alone. In this bear market,
we have to work together. We have to build our community. We have to do everything that we do
for the communities, and this space has fit so well with that. So thank you so much for inviting us,
and I know we followed you from all the main accounts, and I know for a fact the entire team has
been on. So we've all followed you from our personals as well. So we'll be definitely reaching
out. Yeah, thank you so much. Honestly, that really, really means the world to hear. And you know,
that's the exact reason as to why we do it like this because we honestly understand the passion
that goes in and the amount of hours and effort that it takes to create something like this. And
it means, you know, everything that we all build personally or whatever projects that we're a part of
means a lot to us personally, but also the people involved, you know, the team, the investors,
the community, you know, and we're of that understanding. So we appreciate that outlook.
And I'm glad that that hour felt like, you know, you could really break different sectors down because
that's what we really want is because, you know, let's take your white paper for an example. You know,
that's 24 pages worth of information as best as you can to describe your entire, you know,
vision. You can't fit that in a 15, 20 minute space alongside 10, 15 projects and hope that
someone was able to catch your project as well as all 10 other projects. And that's nothing against
those spaces. They definitely serve the purpose and have a value. But yeah, we want to do stuff
different. And, you know, for the longest time that, you know, that our numbers weren't as high
as everyone else's because it wasn't as action packed, if you will, or as, you know, or as snappy.
But we, you know, we're all about helping people showcase the value that they're creating and the
passion that they feel. So we, yeah, we appreciate that outlook. So thank you so much for saying that.
And if I can real quick, before you leave out of here, I want to pay it forward. I want to offer
to you another project that you might want to reach out to, to have up on the space. I see her down in the
crowd down there. If you go follow LKM land, she is speaking on behalf of Advantis. That's a great
AI web three security tool. I've been a fan of theirs for over a year. And LK, she started speaking
in spaces and stuff. And I think she's doing a fantastic job. Y'all should follow her and reach
out to her about possibly getting on one of your episodes, because I think that your listeners
from that, I'll drop the form in the chat below. And then you can click that, fill the form out,
and we'll invite you guys on.
Yeah, thank you. Well said, Bacon. Yeah, nice one. Yeah, we have a short form that we get people
to fill out just so that we can, we always try and do our due diligence to the best of our ability
as well, just to try and help, you know, look into projects and make sure that we can, you know,
do the checks that we possibly can. But also, it helps us find people to put together in spaces as
well. And, you know, because we want you guys to get as much value out of this as possible. And
when you have two projects that we feature for that amount of time, amazingly, both projects stay for
the two hours, which I just think is amazing. So someone is willing to listen to a different project
for an hour, which is just so incredible. But also, you know, you both get to hear each other's
projects for that amount of time. And if you really resonate and vibe, then, you know, you just can
collaborate and build together. And, you know, the communities can meet, many people meet that
didn't know each other. And sometimes you recognize people that you've seen around in the space before,
and, you know, it just brings people closer together. So it helps us in a multitude of ways.
So yeah, thank you for paying that forward. And we'll definitely, you know, if you fill the format,
we'll reach out for sure and get you on this on the space. Thank you for that.
But yeah, that almost brings us to our time. So is there any more you would like to
break down on your ecosystem or anything else you'd like to talk about?
Just going to tell people, get in the Discord. We have all of our community events. Like I said,
we're doing marble races on Twitch. We're doing all kinds of different game types in Discord. We're
constantly giving stuff away. If you come in and you engage with our community and you're open,
you'll be accepted as a family member. And I promise you that we'll be one of the 200 for you
Discord Nitro people. We'll be one of the 200 Discords you keep. You won't have to choose to get rid
of us. You'll want to come in and check out, you know, any event that we've got going on.
Yeah, I just wanted to just say a massive thank you to the guests and coming to spend hours and
hours chatting with us a lot. And also you like in the audience, you know, coming here to listen and
you know, to ask questions and learn and yes, meet new people. So yeah, I love this.
Yeah, well said, Bacon. And yeah, no, massive shout out to the cohorts as well and the community
community team, the audience, you know, you guys have been amazing guests. Unify for asking
incredible questions, having a great perspective. And I'm looking forward to you guys learning more
about Unify as well. What they're building is going to, I think, help every serious project building
in Web3, granting them an ability to not only add value to their own projects, but the community
will be able to utilize projects like yours with IPRAT ownership and help everybody who wants to,
you know, make money and benefit and add value to communities and ecosystems benefit as well. So,
you know, shout out to you as well, Unify. Thank you for stopping by for the full space and adding
the value there and, you know, we appreciate what you're building as well. And that is the point of
this is that we all can work together and add more value to each other along the way. And,
you know, we appreciate that you guys appreciate the the different structure to the space and what
you're used to. It's awesome that, you know, you see value in that. And, you know, we'll hopefully
look forward to having you guys back again in the future for sure. Yeah, 100% man. Thank you for
your kind words and everyone up here like absolute pleasure listening to all of you. Like you say,
it's an hour seems like a lot. And then you start talking about something that's been in your heart
for a long time. And suddenly the hour is not enough. So yeah, big up to the IREV. And yeah,
happy to help everyone, you know, anyone, any new project, anything, anything we can do to help you,
you know, build sustainable income and engage your community. We're here for that. So join our
Discord Hitshop and definitely look at a page in the IREV book.
Yeah, thank you, Brian. Appreciate that. And yeah, no, thank you for mentioning the book as well.
You know, that is something I'll quickly touch on real quick before the end of the space.
We also have our own NFT project, which is the Community Communities NFT book, which is a
collaborative project. We're aiming to try and bring together between 50 and 100 projects to
collaborate on our, it will be a digital book, but there'll be a physical book as well that you'll
be able to purchase on Amazon. The aim behind the project is to help bring projects together, but
to highlight the true value of Web3 so that the rest of the world can see many different communities,
projects and people come together to work on one thing that uplifts everybody. We're going to be doing
a series of 10 books. This is currently we're on book number one. We've currently got about 30 projects
collaborated with us on it so far. And we're trying to help projects get as maximum exposure
as possible for as little barrier to entry as we could. The first book is only 150 polygomatic for
a page in the book. And you will, that will be a double page that you will get. So one side will have
your artwork and the other side will be a story that we're telling. So just to help you conceptualize
that, that it's like your NFT character will play a role in a story that we're telling. And we want
people to be able to read this book to their children so that you can not only read a story
to your children, but it will be a collage of many different projects from Web3. So if you even know
different projects in the actual book that you can even educate your children on this project does this,
and they'd have this impact and this project does this. And we also want to help create our piece
of history on the blockchain forever. The way that we're putting this book together is we're super
fortunate on the network that we've got, that we've been in the industry for so many years. We've been
fortunate to create a great network and we're trying to effectively utilize our network to help projects
as much as we possibly can. Just as an example, one of the people that are working with us in the book
is a man called Andrew Minton. He is the founder of the Hangry Animals project that he's been building
for years. That's due to launch early next year. He is an animator. He is a multitude of things,
but his main skill is an animator, and he's been working on animation for around a quarter of a
century. He's a phenomenal individual. Our book also is going to be worked into what his virtual
environment that he's building is Metaverse, or as he calls it, the Hangryverse, which is an RPG game
slash Metaverse, which is going to be amazing. If you just search up Hangry Animals, you will find it,
or it's in a lot of our posts as well. We're also going to be putting this in the crypto magazine,
which is the largest crypto publication in the world, currently available in 23 countries globally,
and we have many amazing projects that are in the book already, and we aim to try and get everyone
to work together to help uplift this book and showcase it to the world in a multitude of different
ways. Also, there is a pass for the Hangry Animals ecosystem called a Chet Pass, and that grants
people who have this pass early access to the game slash Hangryverse that they're building.
It also gives you a 3D fully rigged avatar, a Hangry Animals avatar, which you have IP right ownership
over, so you can use that avatar in multiple Metaverse environments. So if you purchase a page in the book,
you will also get one of these Chet Passes as well. There is more utility, but I don't want to bore
everyone to death with trying to explain this in greater detail, but all the information you need
is on our website if you want to look into it. We're always aiming to add as much value to this
project as possible, and we want to try and bring all of these amazing projects together that we find
and help create one project that we can all proudly say that we work together on to highlight how we
collaborate. So our website, for anyone who may not know, is communityofcommunities.world. That is on
my profile. Definitely check that out. You'll be able to get a greater perspective of who we are and
what we do, because we are many different entities, but one ecosystem, and that's the easiest way that
I can explain it. So I also wanted to do a massive shout out as well to MetaBuilders. The founder was just
speaking earlier. He's also one of the founders for the community of communities, and they've got
an incredible Web3 ecosystem. They are a Web3 service providing ecosystem, so definitely check
them out. They've been in the industry a lot longer than we have, but again, we're two different entities,
but one ecosystem, and we work together to create the best possible experience we can in Web3. So thank
you for giving me the time to explain that, especially when these spaces are designed to highlight you
you guys. But we just want you to learn more about us, because trust is a two-way thing, and as much
as we learn about you, and we enjoy that, we want you to know more about us as well, so we can
work together in the future and help each other improve what we do and how we bring our recall
systems to the world. So yeah. Well said, Mickey. Thank you, sir. Well said, mate. Thank you, sir.
But yeah, if anyone has anything you'd like to finish up on the space on, you're welcome to have
any final words, if you wish to, before we bring the space to an end, and we will play
one of Black NFT's songs that he created for us. That's why we're so glad we featured him tonight,
because he did create a song for us, which was a song we played at the beginning, but we like
to play that at the end as well. I've got one quick thing to add. Solana hit $100. It also had a day
last week where it did more transactional volume on DEXs than Ethereum and Arbantrim combined,
which I thought was quite interesting in the crypto space.
That is interesting. Nice one for letting us know. That's crazy.
Hey, I want to say one thing.
Fire away, Bella.
Happy holidays. I hope you guys all have a great holiday and great space. Love every one of you.
So I just want to say happy holidays. We love you.
Thank you, Bella.
Happy holidays, you absolute legend.
Yes, happy holidays. And love to you, love to Gunner, love to Hounfout and the rest of the family.
And we always appreciate you coming in and showing love and positivity and being as passionate as you
are and caring so much as you do about all of us crazy Web3 enthusiasts. So thank you so much.
Thank you so much for joining us and giving us a broad understanding of what you guys are doing.
We definitely look forward to a conversation in the back end and hopefully speak more as well with Black NFTs as well.
Thank you for joining us and us being the first space where you've broke down what you're building as well.
We appreciate that. Unify as well. Thank you for joining us.
We're just about to play his music as well.
He was the guy that made this track for the community of communities using the technology that he was talking about.
Yeah. So this is a prime example of what he was speaking about.
So this is a song created by ivy.nft. We'll play it now.
So thank you so much, everybody. Here we go.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
So we got a movement taking over, taking back the glory.
It's the community between cities and the world.
We're an instant space, connecting minds and creating a whole new pace.
We revolutionize it, breaking all the rules.
We're just breaking chains, we don't want to secure it.
We're all just here, we're all just in control.
And together we rise and we're taking back our soul.
We're going to be the community.
Let it go.
Woo! Absolutely love that.
That is incredible.
Massive shout out to IVNFT.
Thank you so much everyone, you've been amazing.
We always host these spaces every Friday and Saturday at 9pm UK time.
We also have one of our co-hosts who's not here tonight, Tricky, Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
He also hosts the space every Monday and every Wednesday at 9pm UK time.
And Miss Evie, who's also on the co-team, she hosts a mental health space in our community telegram
every Tuesday at 9pm UK time as well.
So anyone who has anything they wish to talk about, if they're just going to be around people,
but we have a mental health space every Tuesday in our telegram,
you can find the telegram through our website as well if you wish to join that
because there are many different founders and businesses and projects and developers

just in case anyone was curious of that.
You know, people add a plus to their name to represent the community of communities, Web3, positivity, adding value,
believing that everyone is of value regardless of their skill set, but also we are advocates for mental health as well.
So we did the plus next to our name to showcase each other so we could represent each other without sacrificing our name or our profile pictures.
So yeah, we have a movement of positivity and we call it, you know, we have a hashtag which is hashtag add the plus
and we're trying to show the world, Web3, in a positive light and add value every step of the way.
So massive thank you to everyone, we appreciate you guys and if you've got the plus, you're one of us.
And my favourite quote for this month is that fear has killed more dreams than failure ever has.
Until next time, thank you everybody.
Catch you next time.
Yeah, that is.
God is blessed.
God is very blessed.
