You grifter around, you's a clown, you's a boy.
So we should know.
Then we know, we could see you demon-ass demon.
We see all you demon-ass grifters.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Grifting, shifting, under long, switching.
Respect, keep around the dumbest way. All right, all right, let's go. Let's get it.
Habibi, come to the... I'm just practicing, all right? I'm just fucking practicing.
Welcome to the show.
I have so many things to talk about.
Yes, I know, my artifact people people i don't know what to say
we got a rugged hard body and now the ordinal enjoyers are dancing on our graves
because the ordinals apparently fixed this problem but uh we'll talk about all that in just a few minutos.
Sui, Pokemon, vibes, vibes, vibes.
We're going to talk about that.
Top five side events at Token 2049.
We're going to talk about that.
We got Raheem from the ArtsDAO pulling up.
Hopefully it's 3 a.m. in Dubai, so hopefully he makes it.
He said he would.
They're hosting, like, bangers.
Bangers after bangers after Villa.
Penguin party.
Ton of cool shit.
So, definitely going to go into that.
What else?
What else?
Tea time.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to get into tea time a little bit later.
So, stay tuned for that.
But, if you haven't already, like, comment, repost, tag a friend, and drop your Solana or EVM address because it's going down.
I give away money every single day just for you participating, and that is my token of appreciation.
So thank you.
Will, I know you're getting a pump right now.
Mr. Will is sending us to pump it up.
He's pumping his bags, pumping his motherfucking salary, and pumping his muscles.
Welcome.
Thank you for being here, Will.
Let's jump right into it.
How's it going, sir?
I'm good.
I'm good right now.
It's just muscles right now.
Just muscles right now.
But yeah, Bags have been pumping.
I think overall, you know, the market's pretty interesting.
I think Sui, you know, it's a nice little call.
Nice little tiny call, you know,
a little tiny call saying that it was going to be the next chain to pop off,
just like the other two, basically Solana and ETH.
And, yeah, nobody was really on board with that. You know, $0.70 Solana, $1.78, $1.79 Solana.
I mean, not Solana, but sorry, Sui.
My apologies, Sui.
And nobody's on board with that, you know?
But people are still chasing Solana.
So I always find that interesting.
Solana's been in the rain for almost a year.
Hasn't even been able to escape that velocity
yet doesn't mean it won't but you know it's just been there for a year it's been kind of
i don't know not a lot of upside really you can play the memes but you know if your if your main
coin isn't moving what is the upside potential of your memes it's only your memes so i would say
like if you're if you're looking for exponentials i'm pretty sure that's
not how compound works compound's supposed to work in both directions supposed to work on your main
coin moving and your altcoin moving yes hot take a lot of people are going to hate on me for saying
that but it is what it is right i'm i'm not the person to really care that people hate on me it
just doesn't bother me because you know why because i don't i don't bullshit i don't pump and dump i don't do any of that shit i literally just come in and
say it like how it is um bitcoin hovering around 95 95 i can go back and find the post i'm sure
other people can search my timeline for it too but uh i gave two options you know roughly around like 80 and i said like you
know you should be buying any bitcoin first off below 80. oh there's a cap right on they're passing
by so you should buy any bitcoin below 80 and then above 80 from 80 to 85 i said you could take a short and i said if you flip 85 close the short
right and i said this before we even got to where we are like well before we even got to where we
are and i said if we get above it you can go long and we saw basically bitcoin flip from short to
long um above 85 and go back all the way up to 95. now here's here's the kicker right it
doesn't mean we're gonna run to 100 120 130 tomorrow next day next week next month it we've
hit a level of high high high resistance um if we can't break above 95 this will be the rejection
zone where we'll come back down i'd look look for like 85 retests, something like that.
You know, maybe we even get a little lower.
Maybe we hit it like a 78.
We'll see if we can get there.
But I think that this resistance right here will hold for a bit.
A lot of people are getting excited up here.
You're seeing some of your memes.
Like, I mean, they're not even really running.
If you zoom out and look at these charts, they're absolutely atrocious.
They're still down 90 plus percent. And people are like screaming out of time like, oh, look at this one
and look at that one. It's like nothing's really moving. It's like you're just you're seeing a
rising tide lifting all ships type of price action essentially right now. You're not really
seeing runners at the moment. So liquidity flow is there lightly. There's a light trickle of liquidity flow.
It just makes me question as far as, you know, the stock market not really being able to get
a leg up either. Makes me question the move. But, you know, till we see what, see how this plays
out. Ultimately, you know, spot bids below, below 80 are a discount. They're a blessing in disguise.
And people should take it as
such if you don't get that anymore well that was your own fault for you know basically sitting there
listening to the people larping on the timeline how we're going to 30 and 40 and 50 and this is
the new bear market and yada i mean new bear markets typically break below pre below previous
price action right below previous consolidation there'll usually be
a break in what we call a bms right a break in market structure um there's been no break in
market structure in almost every move we've had up every every market structure move has been the
previous high not being violated by the previous or by the current loan and we saw that again with
the recent low right when we basically hit in like 76 74 which is right in the range where i was you know telling people like hey and
i again i document this stuff on my timeline i literally just write it out so people can see it
and then call me out on it later and like you know either you're larping or you're not and
you know 74 was kind of that range where I was saying people should be looking to bid, looking to buy, buy discounts.
And it wasn't just Bitcoin.
I was saying, like, you should buy anything you think relatively is within that range.
If you think Bitcoin is ever in a bottoming structure, even if your altcoin, like, if your altcoin is 90 plus percent down and it goes to, like, 93 percent down, it never mattered.
Because once Bitcoin
bottoms it's gonna lift up the entire market so your coin is likely to bottom
also with Bitcoin unless of course you bottle conex if you buy a clonex you
woke up today you had no image on your on your PFP and yeah that whole thing
happened I thought that was pretty interesting the pokemon suey thing you know profits threw that to me um i i i'm pretty bullish on it but like
i don't know man we'll see we'll see how it plays out i've seen i've seen this happen with like
marvel with spider-man with lots of different things man and they come in and they do this and then they disappear our rangers do it too last cycle uh 2021 i was actually more bullish on power
rangers to be honest with you that's a pretty decent ip um and i thought they were gonna
actually run with it and yeah that whole thing fell through so um we'll see how that turns out
um and that that profits i don't know if you remember uh vv but vv was the original um chain
where a lot of these uh we'll say marketable you know i i i mean i have a whole v wallet and i have
stuff in there i don't know if they're worth what they once were but i think some stuff is still up
there's a community there yeah yeah exactly and that's that's where a lot of that came from right
but like a lot of people don't even know that,
but like the on-chain like trading cards and everything else,
they came from V.
And I think not enough, not a lot of people probably know that
because they haven't been around long enough.
But now you're starting to see other sectors, you know,
start to build off that trading card sector and everything.
And I think the trading niche is a good one.
I think it's a good one to build off of.
I think it's a solid scenario as far as like an investment vehicle
because it's real IP.
That's what it is.
When you start getting names like that involved, Pokemon,
you start getting like Power Rangers,
you start getting real IP involved,
that has more staying power, in my opinion,
than these new IPs that are trying to, well, what they call themselves, IP ips that are trying to well what they call themselves ips um that are trying to create new ips and typically will fall apart within a year or two
so i i have more bullish on the major names it's just you know some of them will stick some of them
will will back out you know like basically like nike was a back out situation which kind of sucks
um but i think these no no no no no no hold. We'll get into this after we go to Raheem,
but Nike been left the situation.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not Nike's fault.
In my opinion, it's the creators.
They grind it up,
and they're not being creative anymore.
So that's my hope.
But we'll get into that in a little bit,
you know, in just a few.
But I know what you're getting at.
I get what you're getting at.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. I got you. Yeah. I get what you're getting at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
I got you.
Yeah.
I don't know the full stick on that, to be honest with you.
I've just been watching from the sidelines, like, just getting lamb blasted with tons of info on it.
But it hasn't been very clear who's at fault, right?
So everybody always says Nike whenever they say who's at fault.
So maybe I'm just wrong on that whole discussion. And I'm okay admit that you know I'll admit when I'm wrong um but yeah so
you know that's basically my take on the market like I'm I'm bullish on the market overall I
think things will turn around in time I just don't think like hey everybody jump in uh this is the
next hot one like I don't think it's that time yet right i think it's
still time to be calm still kind of time to watch this play out and if you want to dca i think dca
is smart i wouldn't buy into that suey pump either by the way and i'm very bullish on suey
very bullish on suey but don't buy into pumps do not buy into pumps even if you're bullish on the
chain did we break a major uh resistance or not yet not yet not yet you got to get above like 350.
no no i'm sorry for bitcoin oh uh i thought you were talking about suey i was like
and you know what's funny suey followed bitcoin to the same exact resistance too
on its chart right that that that 350 mark i think is a major one um for bitcoin it's 95 i
would say i say but you have to like flip it you can't just like go up and
tap it and back down and tap it and back down and tap it and back down because when you start to see
that that's what you call resistance right so to get above or let me let me explain this a little
bit for people because some people always say flip it and they'll say like 95 3 and they'll be
like okay it flipped 95 3 no that's not flip So a flip is kind of like, you always say the major level, right, as a trader.
So you say, okay, 95 is the major level.
But the real discussion around flip is like you got to get above like 2, 3, 4K above that and then hold above 95.
And that's where you get your real flip.
That's where you can start being like okay we actually flip this bullish but unless you see some moves like that it's it's not going to be a flip so
you can go up and you could poke through 95 you could sit there and keep poking through it over
and over again you you could go up to 96 but if you go back below 95 again you you haven't really
established any type of uh any type of support and so you're basically still at resistance
essentially just for the audience's sake just so you just so everybody's on the same page on how
that works because i think a lot of people get confused on what that is or what it means no well
said thank you you guys are just tuning in welcome to web 3 exposed we go live every single day
6 30 p.m eastern except wednesday. We're going over tons of cool shit
in the market. Today we have the amazing Rahim on the stage. I know it's 3 a.m. in Dubai. Habibi,
you're the best. I owe you some food and drinks when I see you. Thank you for coming through.
Rahim is the president of the ArtsDAO. The ArtsDAO has been doing really cool stuff for a while.
Basically, Dubai is Web3 home, where Web3 culture and community converge.
I'm super bullish on, honestly, anything Raheem does because this guy's just amazing.
Great heart, great soul.
Met him a few times, fellow ape.
And I'm delighted to have him on the stage today.
Raheem, welcome.
Thank you so much for being here.
I know you're probably super tired, but love to get a little bit of your background and then jump right into all things 2049 and Art Style.
Of course. Thank you so much for having me, Profits. GM, everybody, it's nice to actually be in a different spacecraft. So happy to be here. Happy to have a lot of you guys visiting dubai i think the one thing i would
generally say and this just goes for like i would say conferences that happen in like two parts of
the world one is asia and now middle east is to like really explore those pockets of crypto i
think like for example i i'm born and raised in dubai i've been here all my life i think the
crypto seed in terms of like builders and investors and products that
have been building over here are so different to what you see on like crypto Twitter and I think
it's kind of interesting to explore that as as someone who lives in another part of the world
because it makes you realize where the money is flowing you come across like protocols and
ecosystems that you've probably never heard of for example example, one of my friends, I've known them for four years.
They've been running a decentralized media company called Myco.
They've absolutely been killing it.
They've been operational for four years.
They recently opened up an office in Egypt.
They just announced yesterday they have their ads on every single,
not every single, but majority of like the taxis that are running around dubai
they're super successful they recently did a 10 million race from saudi arabia probably no one on
crypto twitter has heard of it so the reason i'm mentioning this i think like for everyone coming
to dubai like do take some time to explore some of the niche dubai crypto communities dubai crypto
network sure you'll see like your friends from the current projects or like everything that you hear online, but make sure you explore that. So just wanted to give that
nugget out. But just to give you guys a TLDR, I'm basically the co-founder and president at Archtao.
We started back in 2021, been doing like NFT events, crypto events way before NFT NYC existed,
way before AFES existed, because that back then we were
coming across people who had like about like 50 apes or like 60 punks i used to have a friend of
mine who at one point owned about like 20 fidenzas so we just like realized like there was this big
pool of people in dubai who were just like in the nft space So we kind of like built like a community around it. We used to have a DAO.
We are kind of moving away from that model.
And we recently just announced our permanent clubhouse,
which will be coming by end of this year.
The whole idea is that we believe that Dubai is becoming the hub for Web3
and we want to be your home.
So the whole idea with this like clubhouse is,
okay, if you want to like come degen, if you want to work out, like if you want to co-work with other crypto people, you want to hang, you want to have your meetings.
That's the place to be.
But we also want to focus on the other side of everything that we do.
So we want to host like music nights over there.
We want to host fitness mornings over there because we fundamentally believe that just because someone is in crypto doesn't mean you don't do other things so yeah
we are kind of like building this like home for everyone to come hang out i've been speaking to
a lot of the web3 ips because we'll have like a big food and beverage ecosystem at this villa
so i've been speaking to a lot of the s in Web3 to have the products being sold and distributed there.
That's something Web3 struggles with.
So, yeah, that's in a small chunk of information.
That's what Artstyle is, and that's what I'm building on a long-term time frame.
Heck, yeah.
Well said.
I'm super excited to visit.
I can't wait.
What are some of the โ I mean, I know you you're gonna say you're biased to all of them but what are some of the events you're super excited to host or help i guess uh put together at the at
the villa uh for 20 or 2049 so one of the things that i feel like that is fundamentally broken in
the nft space uh in the d5 crypto space is that everyone loves to do like independent shit and it
is pretty broken i'm pretty sure you all of you guys can attest to that.
Like even during token in Dubai, there are like 350 events.
And I just think like this model is kind of broken.
I fundamentally believe we will eventually go down the same path that Comic-Con does,
that Gamescom does, that CES does, where a bunch of protocols, where a bunch of companies,
where a bunch of products come together and do events. So that's what we've been focused for. Like the last two
years, we did Artstyle Festival. Again, we had like a very different vibe to it. We didn't want
to do a conference. It was very much focused on music and art and culture and just like experience.
And one of the things we want to do is always bring multiple different projects. So one of the
things that we are doing this year is we have this concept of the art style guest house.
So we have like a massive villa that we've essentially rented out.
The first two days we are essentially hosting the Pudgy Penguin and Abstract event at the villa.
The third day we are doing an event with Midnight Club.
If you guys have heard of that, it's like an exclusive club very much around the lifestyle experiences in the space they did events in miami
if you guys were there for the avax house and they've done something in singapore as well
we are then doing an art style open house there's something like you know if you guys
not to like plug myself but if you guys are looking to meet a dubai core community just like meet and understand what's happening in Dubai, what's being built in Dubai, drop by.
It's like an open house that's running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dubai time.
Have your meetings there.
Have your calls there.
Work together.
Come by.
Say hi.
And yeah, then we have the pregame karate combat event happening the next day.
And we are also working out, hopefully, we're just fine-tuning details,
haven't announced yet, the CryptoPunks Brunch.
And I love the idea that we are able to bring different projects,
different ecosystems.
We're going to have rec drinks throughout the week,
a bunch of other cool shit.
So yeah, come by and explore the Dubai community.
Oh, I can't wait any uh direct alpha for myself and
like melina who are coming for the first time ever i already have all my skirts and bikinis packed
uh as well as my modest clothing anything else i should be taking note of i've put down i've put
down some threads on my profile if anyone wants to check out.
I'm born and raised here.
I know a lot of people when they come, they want to do your typical,
very typical Dubai shit.
We obviously don't do that.
So I put out this whole thread of people should do things that are non-crypto bro things,
very cultural, very local to who we are, what we do over here.
So make sure you kind of have a look at that.
Dubai is great for its food.
I personally believe it has some of the best restaurants in the world.
So again, put some of that over there.
It is going to be super warm.
It is going to be nice in the evenings.
Not too bad.
During the days, it is going to be super warm.
However, in my experience, what i've realized is i feel like
dubai is way more prepared for summer than europe is then half of europe is for winter so i don't
think it's going to be as bad uh unless like you guys are out in the sun but yeah other than that
just like everything is super accessible you get like cabs easily you can order when you guys are
back at home 3am you can order what can order whatever the hell you want for food.
It's an easy city to move around.
But yeah, just do keep, just do be mindful about the traffic in Dubai during peak hours,
which is 5 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.
Just be careful of that.
But other than that, it's going to be awesome.
It's going to be fun.
And you guys are going to have a good time.
Oh, I can't wait.
You're the man.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to pin up some of your threads to the top.
If you have anything specific to our style that you would want to pin up, please feel free.
But, yeah, thank you so much for coming through today.
I know it's super late.
I can't wait to reunite with you again next week.
It's going to be tons of fun.
But, yeah, thank you, Rahim.
I appreciate it.
I know it's pretty late over there, so I'll let you be.
But, yeah, definitely pin anything to the top that you think is important.
Awesome.
Thank you for having me.
I'm looking forward to opening some packs.
I hope that's happening somewhere during the week.
Oh, yeah.
We're grateful to have you, and I can't wait to see you.
Oh, I got you.
I got you.
I know you're going to be super wrapped, but I'm hosting an event at Seven Tails on the 1st.
But regardless, I'll be at the villa, so I'll bring you some pack street anyway.
So no worries.
I got you, Rahim.
We'll have fun.
Thank you so much.
Vibras.
Vibras.
Yeah, I've been here about Ardol for a long time.
Like three years ago, like when I was building Bandol.
Yeah, we had a Telegram group before.
Do you remember that, Rahim?
I am so sorry I don't remember this.
It's okay, it's okay.
Do hit me up. I would love to connect again and stuff.
But yeah, I think my memory has gone...
As the years go by, my memory is getting worse. So feel free to shoot me a message and I would love to connect again and stuff. But yeah, I think my memory has gone.
As the years go by, my memory is getting worse.
So feel free to shoot me a message and I would love to connect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You remember Bendout?
Because we built Bendout before for M&T's landing, peer-to-peer landing protocol.
Oh, of course.
Like, I've used Bendout a lot.
But I didn't realize.
Maybe you spoke to someone else from the team.
But yeah, I would love to hear what you guys are up to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to co-founder before, yeah.
Yeah, all right. So, we have a lot of this talk. Thank you again, Rahim.
You're more than welcome to stay. I know it's late, so feel free to stay, go, whatever it is, but definitely excited to see you next week, and congrats on everything art style.
You guys are killing it. Keep it up. Um, so I'm gonna, uh, man, I'm gonna talk about
this artifact stuff. Um, you know, I don't think most people are not surprised actually online.
I think a lot of people are surprised. A few people that kind of try to be negative about a year one are not surprised i'm sure um so you know i feel bad
for those that were diehard fans a lot of people were um i really do it's not cool but i think
this opens up a bitcoin conversation um meaning, you know, we kind of, Uri's been having a field day on the timeline.
Like, oh, that's why I thought all those NFTs were nothing.
You know, I thought they were good for nothing.
Technically, this is kind of why NFTs on Bitcoin work, no?
But yeah, let's jump into it.
Before I do, let's go to my boy Levi.
Welcome to the stage levi
what's up good to see you yo good morning everybody i'm doing fucking great profits
tell me how the fuck you're doing i'm fucking awesome what's's up, bro? Appreciate the energy. How's it going?
Bro, 100%. I just had the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. And so I got to be
gassed up. It had fucking barbecue sauce, sweet, tangy barbecue sauce, pimento cheese on a fucking
toasted bun. Oh my God. And their sweet tea to fucking die for. I was all about it. So I'm in
a good mood. I'm high on caffeine.
I just popped a little
a little nicotine
Zingham into my mouth.
And yeah, I am feeling it.
The only bad thing
that's bringing me down,
I'm not going to be a Dubai.
I know.
Cry now.
Don't cry.
Don't cry in Dubai,
but go ahead and cry now.
But I'm still feeling it.
I'm getting ready for a stream.
I just want to come up here
and fucking scream a little bit,
you know? Oh, fuck. Yeah, plug it. Plug the stream to for a stream. I just want to come up here and fucking scream a little bit, you know?
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Plug the stream to the top, too, if you want.
All good.
Definitely all good.
So we have some, I got some, like, artifact OGs coming through in a little bit
to kind of give their opinions.
But I pinned some stuff to the top, some, what's it called?
Like, I guess, you know, threads
and things of that nature, but, um, I'm going to just, you know, I'm going to go to my girl
real quick, Melina, Melina, do you have any, are you shocked at the artifact stuff? Are you,
I don't think you're shocked. Uh, I'm surprised this is the, this is the, this is the one though.
This is the NFT collection where we, uh where we don't see the images anymore.
I know the people on Bitcoin are so happy right now.
They're like, we're going to show everyone why they need to bring it on Bitcoin.
So they're having a blast on that side.
No, I'm not shocked.
I mean, I always knew that I could lose my nft um that way you know what i mean
but yeah the cloud flare shit though that shit's crazy that's just diabolical like yeah yeah yeah
that was diabolical in the fuck like wow but yeah let me uh read some of these these bookmarks here
some of these bookmarks here.
Hold on a second.
Hold on, hold on.
Fucking Udi.
Funny thing is that the Clone X issue
has already been fixed,
but none of the Gravedancers
will post anything about that.
Here's another one.
So ideally, for those that don't know,
basically, Artifact started started in 2020 pretty much during
covid um they were kind of working in secret in a sense um they start to kind of get attention
they start to go viral um you know it was it was doing well it got a lot of attention then in 2021 um they basically minted clone x right it was uh it was
a thing to mint i remember the fucking marikami ones were like hot so the hype was huge they made
around 100 mil from the mint 100 mil that's a hundred fucking okay. The biggest news came in December, 2021.
Basically, Clone X was now, you know, you know, officially, what's it called?
Bought by Nike.
And boom, this is where we're off to the races.
Now, since then, I remember friends, like I even onboarded a crypto from the resale world.
Like this was like, oh, this makes sense to me.
I'm going in.
I'm buying tons of shit.
So they bought it.
Like I get it.
Like I, you know, you know, I get it.
I was a little priced out.
I'm not going to lie.
That was, it was like, I don't know.
It was like 10, 15,000 at the time or maybe a little more, probably a little more.
Cause it was like 60s and these was like like high but um anyway so this became a thing um but since this all kind of
happened uh basically holders got fake promises and little in return so airdrops um definitely
kept them happy you know i'll say that i remember when those boxes airdrop and motherfuckers sold them for like 6K, nobody even knew what was inside of them. However,
I think what ended up happening is since they weren't producing fast enough, and I remember
talking about this on Spaces. So I'm kind of, I'm reading this article that was written by Star
Platinum, shout out to him for putting this little thread together. But this is like interesting for me because I remember resellers, hardcore holders were calling this out and it was just like, oh, just wait, just wait, just wait, just wait.
So in 2025, they this is 2025 is now, but basically January of this year, they announced they're shutting down.
They shut they basically are shutting down and that
Nike abandoned the project. So this is what I take from all of this. From the inception of the Nike
announcement, I remember in the very fine print where it was very clear that the people that ran
Artifact originally had complete, pretty much control of creative.
Nike comes in, obviously has a say.
Now, I can't fathom or wrap my head around how you fail raising so much money unless you had to give a lot of that money to Nike.
Now, I don't know the specifics.
I'm still reading stuff.
But I don't understand how this fucking failed.
I don't get it. I don't understand how this fucking failed. I don't get it. I don't understand.
My other hunch is that somebody didn't want to keep forking the bill to keep this alive. And
Nike doesn't give a fuck enough. Let's be real. They're known to team up with a creator, with a
fucking famous person, whoever, celeb. And then months later, you'll see a
different sneaker. For example, uh, let's say that Sean Witherspoon, Sean Witherspoon came out
with this concept a long time ago of like this smiley face thing. Uh, I don't know who originally
coined it, but the point is he came out with that. It came out with a sneaker with Nike. Boom. It
fucking popped off. It resold for like 2K, I think, at the highest point.
It was the 97s, the Air Max 97s.
And very, very shortly, right after that launch, Nike dropped a whole bunch of GR bullshit with a little smiley face.
Same thing with Travis Scott sneakers.
Very similar silhouettes, colors, colorways.
And I get it.
It's literally the game.
That's what Nike does.
That's how they make their money. It makes sense. So again, I don't understand truly where it went wrong, but
back to this IP conversation, like this is, I think, a perfect example for anybody buying into,
oh, it's so cute and I can do this. Like back in the day when I used to hear, oh, we could buy
youth and I'm going to make a brand. Like shut the fuck up. Nobody cares for
that. Nobody cares for that. Like nobody truly gives a fuck. Now what carries a brand and what
makes things relevant is an iconic person or platform or both. And I'm not saying brands can
succeed without it or whatever, but it just takes that much longer. I don't think Artifact would
have got as much clout that they got if Nike wasn wasn't involved so i'll digress a bit but um i i was
actually gonna go to one six because he told me he has a sui play ready for me can't wait for that
appreciate that one six wait so you're telling me you didn't get one? No, I don't have one.
I can't believe it.
Oh, my God.
You know, it sold out, though, but I'm sure, like, I woke up this morning a bit like, okay, what's today?
Listen, I don't like pre-ordering shit for seven months.
So when it was available months ago, I didn't do it.
And then I think it was available again. My bad, Melina.
No, but I was going to say, like, to 1-6, like, how come it sold out today?
Was there something, like, I mean, there's so much news about Sui that we could talk about.
But I was a bit shocked today.
All of a sudden, boom, sold out.
Is there something that we missed?
Well, you've got to figure that the Dubai events are going on and stuff, right?
They're supposed to be announcing some partnerships there.
I can't say what they are because I don't have a definite answer to be completely honest with you.
So I'm
waiting for confirmations to know and it would all
make sense on why these sold out
as well. I mean, I'm sure everybody saw
the Pokemon announcement as well
and people are misinterpreting that
basically like...
You have the directs on that?
Huh? You have the direct info on that
because I'm sick of everybody's
on what the pokemon thing it's very simple all you have to do is look up exactly what pokemon
home is and it'll tell you exactly what they're doing right it's literally basically like uh
traits um and like storing the characters or moving characters in between different games
that they allow you to um that's basically what pokemon home is right uh and that's just one
thing that that company owns, right?
Like, nobody's looking into everything else.
They're just looking at that one name.
So I'd say just do some research on what that company is, right?
And you'll see other names, and people will be pretty happy, I would think.
And I think that came into part two on why they came and minted out, basically,
because people realized okay this
sui's not fucking around right so so he's not fucking around we will be attending base camp
as well we can't wait um by the way there is one six gonna be there no no no i don't know who needs
to hear this by the way you can make tweets about attending events without being paid to.
I don't know who needed to hear that.
I know some of you won't make a fucking tweet unless you get paid to because you're a piece of shit.
But, yeah, I don't want anybody getting it twisted.
The content house Exposed Media is putting on is funded by Exposed Media.
And anything that is ever funded by anybody else will be very specifically stated because I I've I love that I will I will tell you all you know whenever
when if and when people decide to fund what we got going on oh best believe I'm gonna be the
biggest cheerleader because guess what that means somebody believes in the vision bro believe I'm going to be the biggest cheerleader because guess what?
That means somebody believes in the vision, bro.
And I'm never going to shut the fuck up about that.
So I just wanted to make that real clear.
I'm going to share this, but you don't got to do everything for money.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Anyway, anyway, anyway.
Melina, you ready for Dubai?
Habibi.
That's all I've been saying.
And my husband is just like, shut up.
He's going to be there enjoying the fun.
He's going to be courting us.
Tell him we're going to be, uh, we're going to be different women while we're there.
I feel like I'm going to have plastic surgery the minute minute i land like that's the vibe that i'm getting i'm not gonna lie oh man yo uh one one six what uh what
launched today and um what's going on over there in the suey world anything anything new i don't
know what launched today i mean obviously we've been speaking. I'm just going to shameless shill, right?
We created a game on Zui.
Basically, it's 1,000 NFTs.
50% of them die each round. At the end,
there's a survivor. They win the pot.
The lowest pot's 80 Zui. Top pot's
800 Zui. It's a continuous game.
Once
a game ends out, a new game starts
consistently. And basically, tomorrow
we're doing our free mints. So, the free games, we have a shit ton of prizes in there just so that people can understand
you have to play the games to participate yeah yeah oh yeah okay okay fair enough fair enough
that works okay no profits you can't just retweet the tweet and hopefully you win no no hey hey no
i don't know what you uh like i gotta plug up to a pc or no honestly it's very
simple it's like the it's like battle royale type style i guess you could say right because it's
very basic right now we just want to get the concept out there because we're still building
on it and i mean that's the plan right um but it's literally very basic uh your nft is going
to change daily uh and the storyline will change daily right um and that's
about it because it's it's a gamified raffle in a sense right as well bringing web 3 into it and
then like i said we are working on other things with it too it's not just a game right we have
a bunch of free shit coming out that sui as a whole needs right like uh let's say eth you can go to etherscan type in a project and
it'll give you every single wallet so you can just whitelist a whole project right if you want to do
quick so he doesn't have that yet so like that's just one example of what we built out and just be
given for free right just so that people can use it new projects anybody um but yeah that's that's basically what it is i'd say
the nft is a claim process um so when you win if you win if you survive the most use will just end
up like the 99.9 percent uh not many people in the real world are even the top one percent so that's
just what happens right um but it's a claim you can either claim it uh sell it with the items
on it or just hold it like a like a vault right so that's another thing to it as well kind of
built in a vault mechanism if somebody wants to use it as well there's custom games with it right
so let's say profits you wanted to host one on the space you could put uh 50 suey inside of it and tell everybody in the space go mint uh and you
can set it to a 10 minute game basically right so it'll only take 10 minutes to do a giveaway per
se um just there's a bunch of little stuff has this model been done before this is pretty unique
no uh it's not actually who came up with this you no i'm just kidding i know you want to i know
you got a whole little i know i know you you know, there's a bunch of you guys.
Yeah, it's just a group of us, right?
We've been here since the early ETH days, basically.
Just quietly in the background.
We just didn't show our faces everywhere.
That's just not what we're here for, right?
But yeah, we wanted to build it on ETH,
but to launch just one game, it was .3 gas,
like just for us on the team side to run the game
so we just gave up right and then we followed liquidity to soul um and then we were like hey
let's try here tried building it uh souls items when they're locked you can't work in or around
them basically and add into them so that just ruled out everything else we wanted to do as far as
like adding in prizes while the game's going and stuff like that and then we followed liquidity
again to sui um and then sui's prices started dropping everybody started getting bearish and
we were like fuck it let's try building this out and that's basically what we did we just
sat there quietly built it, and then here we are.
Let's go.
You're a legend.
You know, I like how you said that, because I think,
I remember when I started seeing you pop up on Spaces,
and I'm like, who's this little fucker?
Who's this?
And then I heard you speak, and I was like,
he doesn't really give me grifty energy.
Let's keep listening to him.
And what I've seen, and correct me if I'm wrong, you kind of have already seen and known, you probably have known of this space. Maybe you haven't. Maybe I'm an asshole
and I'm an arrogant piece of shit. And I think everybody knows about me. But I feel like you
knew what spaces are like out there and like with big stages. And then you kind of did your thing
and just kind of hanging out and added to the convo.
And then where you have an opportunity, you jump in and you share it.
Because I think I heard I for sure heard you one of the first times, I think, on Alpha Space.
And that's what even made me. I'm not going to lie. I love I love the kid. He's great.
He's great. Some of that just can't like NB. I just can't do it. I just can't fucking do it.
integrate uh some of that just can't like nb i just can't do it i just can't fucking do it
but um yeah there was one of the times where um you were there just spitting and i was just like
oh shit it's dudes you speaking suey and like more integration going on um so that's you know
i was like yeah let me let me tap in but my point of this whole little rant is i appreciate
people like you and don't make me eat my words in six months.
Don't rug us.
But, no, I appreciate people like you that do their thing in the background.
Well, that's one good thing, right?
Like, to be technical with what we built out, it's impossible for us to rug, period.
Like, we can't rug, like, at all.
Like, no matter what's put into the prize pool, no matter how much money is there, we can't touch it.
The winner touches it, and that's it.
No matter what.
Like, once the game starts, it starts, and nobody can change it. But, yeah, no, we can't touch it. The winner touches it, and that's it. No matter what. Once the game starts, it starts.
Nobody can change it.
But yeah, no.
Definitely not a grifter.
Definitely have never been a grifter.
No, no.
My whole point is, though, you use your brain.
You're like, bet.
We're out.
We're ready.
Let me get on these spaces.
Let me do my thing.
That's so respectable, bro.
And I get so many DMs like, yo, can I get a call with you?
And yo, I'll take some of y'all's calls, but man, I see why idiots charge for just a five minute breathing conversation
because you motherfuckers don't even know what you got or what you want to do. And you want people
to give you insight for free, right? Where you should just do the thing, build your shit and
go fucking get yourself out there. And just get on stages,
and don't think you could come with your personal company page, shithead. Come on your personal.
Nobody wants to give you free clout. I'm sorry. You know, I'll do it sometimes, but you'll never see a company fucking company up here unless it's mine or they're endorsing the space. That's the
point. Some of you got to take that shit personally, and I don't understand why. Like, it's like, come on. Guilty by association,
apparently in web three is not a thing. And it doesn't mean guilty like you're bad. Like
I, you know, anybody on this stage being known to talk to profits, I think they'll be okay. I
don't think they're worried about that. I don't think they're worried about being known to talk to profits um just just as an example and so anyway mad props to you and
much much love and and good luck to you i'm pretty sure whitelist is over but uh if you want to pin
anything to the top for people to take advantage of or look into definitely do so um how many silly
plays do you got don't lie uh good enough right motherfucker dick he said i've got i got a couple i didn't go all out on them or whatnot like
honestly they were like 600 apiece yeah yeah 5.99 um but like you gotta figure when you buy sui at
68 cents and then all of a sudden it fucking blasts to five dollars it's a lot cheaper right
so uh that's kind of the advantage that i took
of it at that point and it's not even for me honestly it's i'm gonna give it to my nieces
and nephews like i rarely play games i don't even have a tv set up in my house because like i don't
even have time right i'm on spaces or i'm out hiking with my dog just doing shit right like
so like i'm not even gonna play it to be honest i'm just not gonna tell them that they're being
paid to play it either so hey i have a question speaking of dogs what'd you say
what did you mean by that when you thought i was a big dog kind of person what did you mean by that
i thought that you had like a big dog you know like a big dog like i got a new fund because i'm
a little aggressive and shit you think i'm a big dog yeah like you know it just it took me by
surprise seeing the little ones i was like oh man like i
was i was very upset honestly the yorkies my mom's that that's definitely not mine the schnauzer is
mine she's aggressive as fuck and uh has a beard so we're just mini you know but nah uh
i was like what's this motherfucker gonna say i'm soft
oh shit no no definitely not soft but the little dogs you need to get a bigger dog i'm sorry i i
will i have a fucking bro i'm in an apartment it's just pretty spacious but i think it's fucked
up to have a big dog bro i see people with a big this motherfucker got a great dane in his
in his motherfucking apartment and i'm like bro how does that nigga live with you? I'm assuming the man's
a loner, bro, because
that's a big dog. It's like a horse.
Yeah, I do
want a standard, though. I can't wait.
So last time, though, I will say that
one of these chats I came in,
I told everybody about Deep Protocol.
And it did 151%.
The next one is Sui NS.
Don't sleep on ns
three is going to lock the world yes yes pirate that's correct sui is sui is the number one
secure chain in the world i don't care what anybody says uh nah i think bitcoin is number one secret
No, I think Bitcoin is number one security.
Oh my god.
Do you think that the government, like truly though Pirate, do you think that the government's
gonna use like Bitcoin to send files and things like that to each other?
Yeah, because that file doesn't need to go to blockchain to pay a lot of money for security.
All right, I get you.
I understand what you're saying, but you'll understand what I mean one day, Pirate.
Just one day.
What does Sui believe about film and documentaries and things and stuff like that?
What do you think Sui thinks about that?
What do you mean?
You think there's builders in the film world over there on Sui?
Yeah.
Is there?
Yeah.
Huh.
There's animators from big movies that everybody's seen.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, they're all quiet.
Like that's the best part about Sui sui honestly is that like until you get to
actually know these people and sit down and talk to them for an hour on the phone you don't know
who they are they're just average people like us oh yeah i'm bringing some some hitters some web2
big names to dubai uh one of them is a huge film writer which is a good friend of mine
worked with some really big names,
dropped some really cool shit.
And I've been having ideas for documentaries
and shit like that, and I wanna do
the Bachelor version, Profits version.
But yeah, she tells me, she funds this shit herself too.
It's pretty fucking, it's impressive, bro.
And I'm like, damn dude, it's pretty fucking it's impressive bro and i'm like damn dude it's not fucking cheap
um and like really good uh you know good uh what's the word production as well so yeah i'm
gonna bring her around and network and yeah there's a couple of projects that are building
out a studio right now technically and um they're also like drawing out patents and plans for the Japanese government to put like
all the transit all the ticketing systems and railway systems on sui as well but that's obviously
in the works and like I said it's all paperwork right now it's not a definite but it's it's all
you can do is try it right oh that's fucking good that's good to know i like that um it's eight o'clock sun's down
we can start tea time we can start tea time shortly
let's go to the beautiful creatures first creatures hello how you doing hello hello i was just um i'm doing great i'm grabbing the honey
you said it's almost tea time so gotta have it sweet at least what's up actually funny actually
funny enough a mutual friend of ours would appreciate this tea i I shall tell her soon.
Oh, what?
Oh, my God.
Do tell. I'm settling in here.
So, Melina, you're going to drop that podcast or what?
What did I do? i'm just kidding um no i'm just fucking around so the suspense suspense you're killing me always always the suspense you know um yeah there's a there's a
few people that dm me this week and they were like, yo, is there a chance
I can get on stage and kind of share my story? And yes, man, you can always share anything you
want. You know, if you're in the crowd, you want to come up, definitely, you know, request if you
need to, whatever it is. Um, I'm not a therapist, you know, I know I'm not a therapist. I know I'm not a life coach or anything. I'm a mutant ape on the
internet that happens to host one of the best Twitter spaces on this app. If you disagree,
totally cool. Go to your mom about it, not me. But my point of saying all this is,
you know, I've realized that people don't want to make their true authentic tweets
that they feel or speak as how they truly feel because they're going to get shadow banned or
blocked or botted or other things. And I'm not going to front that shit's fucking sick. It is
sick. And there's always a way to go about it. There's a way to go about it. You know, I know, I know.
It hurts.
It's annoying.
I get it.
I also get let down by some of the biggest leaders in our space.
They continue to let me down.
They continue to let us down.
And it's okay.
All we can do is grieve a little, maybe cry about it, and vent!
You can always vent about it as well.
You can. You're allowed to, especially if you fucking put in work, for real, in this space.
You're not out here talking about art and minting art,
and you've never even fucking did a fucking painting in your life.
You're not out here acting like you're some amazing event producer, but you can't
even enter a country legally. Like, you know what I mean? Like you guys aren't here to do that weird
shit. You guys want to actually build and do cool shit. And guess what? I'm here to highlight you.
I'm here to highlight you. I know Melina is, and I know PowerCode does, and 1-6 does as well. Yo, Sui, bro, let me just say this too.
I talked, I sent three fucking DMs, 1-6 being one of them.
I said, yo, who's this for Sui, blah, blah, blah.
This is the most un-gate-kept fucking ego ever, bro, ever.
I swear to God, I talked to who I didn't need to talk to in two fucking minutes.
Literally, meeting there, DM there, call there.
Granted, I get it.
I have a decent reputation and I do have some cool relationships with some people.
So I appreciate that as well.
But man, if you feel like you got to gatekeep some shit,
that means that you don't really got whatever the fuck you got going on.
I'm just going to throw that out there.
There's no need to be a maxi to anything.
There's no need to be culty with anything.
You fuck with Abstract.
You fuck with Solana.
You fuck with Sui.
But be truthful, too.
For example, perfect example.
There was some weird shit that happened on Ape Chain recently. A my heart you guys already know apes for life or this my those
are my dogs but yo we gotta talk about it and we talked about it and it's okay we move forward
it's you know and and that's why it's like it's like the conversation of like talking about
like apes in a negative light as if they didn't pave the way for a ton
of shit i get it gets you engagement like a lot of playbooks that are being played
are from the originators of the from the original like i don't know there's there's nothing wrong
with like like reapplying a playbook, dude.
What the hell is that term?
I think Will says it all the time.
Keep it simple, stupid.
Like you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Like you could do dope shit other places and everybody could coexist.
Like I see it happening.
Like it happens a lot.
I go to some events and some of the biggest names that you would think, oh, they don't.
No, nigga, they're in bed together, bro.
They chilling.
They kicking it.
You know?
We do have a special guest on the stage.
We've been following each other for a while.
I don't know if you're awake right now.
What's up, Spectrum?
Hey, Prophets. Can you hear me? Yeah spectrum hey prophets can you hear me yeah how you doing i'm all right pretty pretty early but it's cool been enjoying the show what's up guys oh man i'm sorry bro i know it's late i know it's late
am i seeing you in dubai or what yeah. Anything for tea time. I heard tea time's going on.
Spectrum.
Oh, Spectrum.
Tea.
How much...
What kind of tea do you like?
What's your tea of preference?
It depends on the day.
It depends on how shady or grifty people are going to be on the day.
how shady or grifty people are going to be on the day.
But I think today, like, events, like, events,
organizers who probably do fake stuff, pretend to look good outside.
But, yeah, can't make a flipping matcha tea, let alone a solid tea.
Oh, fucking at the matcha.
I like matcha, too.
You fuck up a matcha
damn bro it's kind of hard to fuck up a matcha man uh how long have you been in web 3 how long
have you been going to events and stuff um been in web 3 since like 2019 so uh when will was
talking about vv i was like oh my god like i hit like all the Disney, like I think they did like their 100 years.
I got like the waltz and the flipping Mickey Mouse stuff.
So I was like, yo, this guy knows what's up.
But yeah, been here since 2019, been all over the place, done a few projects uh do a lot of analysis stuff for a few projects
do a lot of trading pretty successful there as well but yeah nothing too crazy
so in your opinion how are the how are the people in web3 i i won't obviously i know a little bit about you i won't
share too much or whatever but compared to like your normal lifestyle and coming into crypto and
web 3 how are the people compared to like um you know web 2 for you um definitely 100 in web 3
everyone pretends to be like upright pretends to be there to do things legit.
But when push comes to shove and everyone's backs are against the walls,
and I particularly like the bear market for this,
this is when you really get to know who's desperate or is really a grifter.
That's definitely something that I would say in comparison to Web2,
you definitely get a lot of that more so probably because we're kind of like in a niche.
So pretty much everyone kind of knows everyone.
But yeah, definitely. That's definitely the biggest difference that I have.
And everyone out there probably wants to portray themselves on Twitter
as being outstanding. Everyone calls out everyone else for being grifters but once they're pretty
much put in that same position they do the exact same thing they called out people for doing.
You know and I couldn't agree more.
One thing I'll say as the host of the space and just always trying to show the, I can show when I'm biased and I'm okay with that.
But when I'm just having a convo, I try to be as unattached as possible.
But like, I'm also a human and I'm not stupid, right? Like, duh, if I'm being paid, you know,
it's easy to be more swayed and one way or the other.
And it's shitty because I wish if more people can just admit that,
some do, or at least act in the way they do,
you know, I think it'd be that much better.
Everybody loves to talk about, oh, I'm never going to promote that
if I don't really fuck with that.
That's bullshit.
You're a liar because you, you know, will fucking go do a shitty presale on a chain that nobody cares about because, you know, yeah.
But the point is, like, we all as humans make mistakes and it's okay. being a public person in any shape or form, no matter how big or small, that humanistic aspect
goes out the door because of vanity metrics and things. And I get it. I want engagement. I want
all the followers. I want all the views, all of it. I want it too, but not to the extent of
like jeopardizing me or morals or,
and I say morals very lightly.
Like I'm not a saint, you know, like none of that.
Like, but I just, I really wish we just,
I think Melina said earlier, like, yo,
if we just communicated a little bit,
we wouldn't run into so much dumb shit.
Like now the space is like, even like, this is why this specific
convo is going to get worse in a sense of it's going to come out more, but then guess what?
It ain't going to be exposed media or Web3 exposed or Shanice or profits or Melina or
spectrum talking about it. It's the space will start to police itself. And then I would think,
I would like to think people as a
collective learn to choose their, with their wallet. They, they react with their wallet and
their actions and you stop supporting and you stop the retweeting and you stop the platforming and
you stop the attending of the shittiest part, the people of this space. I get it. They gave you bottle service.
Yeah, man, I know he's a scammer,
but he gave me bottle service.
You know, or I know it's Mario, bro,
but the IBC motherfuckers gave me some bread for it, bro.
Like, I get it, dog.
But, like, man, I just wish you guys would just see
there's just so much more on the other side of that.
But, you know, I also understand people don't got time to wait.
People that I just got.
I'm sorry.
I went on a little tangent there, Spectrum.
But, you know, people don't got time to wait.
I think that's the problem.
Yeah, you literally hit the nail on the head there.
It's pretty much a lot of people are short term minded instead of thinking about the potentials of long-term gain.
I mean, yeah, it's pretty cool.
You can get 100K today, but shit, getting 10 million over two years sounds a lot better now.
10 million.
Craziest part is they'll run through that faster than if they would have just earned it.
Because at that point, you feel like,
I don't know, maybe I'm crazy. I know for a fact, money that I got at the casino on a meme play,
I'm fucking quick to burn that shit. Oh yeah. But that fucking shit I worked real hard for that that 30 that 3k i worked hard for that i'm gonna be very
specific with that because man like i don't know i don't know i get it i get it a thought a thought
literally just popped into my head for any builders out there i think what's lacking in this space
is like our dds due diligence is like really poor.
And I say that because anyone can come in and say, I'm ex Netflix or ex Disney.
And how many people really go back?
My favorite is ex Amazon.
Yep, you're right.
I'm ex Amazon or flipping.
I used to run events for 100 years in the past when none of that ever really happened and that like
obviously now everyone's rocking up with their fake gucci's and the fake diors and yeah people
really just sell this shit and because there's no like accountability how are we gonna know
so i think if anyone can find a solution i know Ethos is trying its best out there with the reviews,
and I've spoken to Serpent a bit on potentials that he could do on the platform. But
if anyone's thinking of a next side project, I think that's pretty cool, really,
where we can DD all of this stuff.
No, I totally agree. I was literally going to bring up ethos. And, you know, I've heard this a few times about ethos, which, you know, I also understand this argument where, you know, you can't fucking try to put, what is it called? Moral fi or whatever they call it.
Why? Because this is a space filled with, you know, mentalities of degeneracy and quick money and ha ha ha, LOL, shut the fuck up.
Racist villain, racist joke. Ha ha ha. You take that word so seriously. Ha ha ha. Bullshit. Whatever.
So but I don't I don't agree. I don't agree because Cause, um, I know a few of us, if, first of all, if you came from clubhouse,
I know, you know what the fuck I'm about to say you agree with, but we've seen the nice
corporate suits doing the spaces and doing the things and completely selling air, you know,
like I ran into somebody from a company that I actually learned
about like in 2017, shout out to token metrics, fucking geez. Um, and he was telling me about
basically a VC scam where they got, got for like 10 mil and it was a very like just high level,
some stupid TG, whatever. But yo, that happens more than we think.
They laugh at us on Twitter spaces because they know not to come to fucking Twitter spaces.
They're laughing at us.
They're at events, and they're doing their thing, and they know.
Oh, shit, you're on.
Let me not try to.
Right?
And it's because it just happens.
It happens at all levels is what I'm getting at.
It happens at all levels. Low level tier getting at. It happens at all levels.
Low level tier, which is this bullshit, KOL bullshit,
and my event is better than yours, and I don't have any money,
but I'm going to act like I do, and I'm going to rob Peter to pay Paul,
and blah, blah, blah.
Because, oh, my God, let me not piss off X company
that I've already sold a dream to so they could keep buying into my fucking dream I keep
selling them right so like yeah like it's uh it's the whole point is you know it doesn't have to be
this way but it is and it's gonna get worse in a sense of like it's yo I don't I hate when I have
to see a company have to put out some type of apology.
That shit sucks. That shit is, that shit sucks. And then we all expect it. And it's a call corporate. You could have saved all that. You could have saved all that by just maybe listening
to your community, uh, policing, maybe, maybe like, I don't know. I don't know. I hate that
word policing by the way, but like you guys get what I'm saying.
Just more accountability.
Like, we use that word at some interesting times.
And then times where we're supposed to use it the most, we don't fucking use it.
Yeah, exactly that.
I mean, the whole VC conversation is like a whole can of worms that we could probably open up on another
day like the amount of pitch decks I go through like yeah it's insane and like everyone uses
everyone uses the same game so I don't know but that's a whole different can of worms if I'm being honest. Oh, the worms are the worming.
Nah, man, I appreciate you pulling up.
Definitely glad to have you.
I know we've been following each other for a while.
Looking forward to meeting you in Dubai.
Oh, my God.
We got Laura on the stage,
longtime friend of the space.
What's up?
How you been?
It's been a while.
It has been a while.
So far, so good. And, you know, when you were? It's been a while. It has been a while. So far, so good.
And, you know, when you were going on your monologue, I was like, yes, exactly.
Yes, I agree. I was like, sometimes you need to go on a monologue and just, you know, speak from the heart.
And I'm like, this is why this is why we need sometimes like, you know, spaces where we could just be. And yeah, I don't know.
I think I agree with you when you were saying the whole thing about, I mean, many things. But one thing that stuck with me is like the attention that we give to the things that we don't want to see and how that creates just more engagement and more engagement.
I just give up and I refuse.
I'm like, it's not happening. Even though it's like, oh, you're one person, who cares? I'm like, well, this is the
same thing for everything. Like if we all feel that way, then I don't care. It's like, if something
is triggering me, then I'm just going to unfollow it. I was just going to look the other way. I was
like, I'm going to go about my day. I'm going to do something that brings me joy. I'm going to go
out in the sun. I think many times it's like, me joy. I'm going to go out in the sun.
I think many times it's like, yes, and things have to be called out and it's necessary to have the conversation around it. And other times it's like, you know what? This doesn't
even have to be a conversation. I don't need to leave a damn comment about it. I don't
need to entertain it or give you more likes or views or whatever, even though I'm just
one tiny person, it doesn't
matter. I feel like if collectively we all thought like that, then things would be a little bit
different. And yeah, and we're encouraging people to continue to do the same by sending the message
of like the wrong things are the only things that get attention. And many people fall for it. And I
feel like there are very smart people in the space that could attention and many people fall for it and I feel like there are very smart
people in the space that could potentially use their efforts somewhere else and eventually they
give up because they're like oh my efforts by doing the right thing or doing what aligns with
me is not working let me try the other thing and it's like you just burn your reputation for the
long term so so yeah so just a lot of it for thought. And I was actually speaking with someone in person about this today.
So pretty interesting to see how quickly sometimes as humans,
even though we know the fastest way to get somewhere,
it doesn't mean that it's always the best way or the one that you're going to
feel proud the next day when you wake up.
Agreed.
No, I appreciate the take.
And I'm excited for your event in Dubai.
I'm not going to be there, but
I'm excited for it.
Have you talked about it today already, I'm assuming?
A little bit, yeah.
Appreciate you. Yeah, it's going to be
dope.
I don't know if the venue is going to be, it's going to be dope. Um, I, I don't know if I,
the venue is going to be, I mean, there's like over 500 fucking RSVPs, but I mean, I guess,
um, you motherfuckers better be there early, but, um, yeah, it's May 1st at seven tails on the
Marina. Really, really, really nice venue. It's like a Japanese vibe with a DJ, all that good stuff.
I'll be in a skirt, hair flattened out.
Why do you have this disclaimer?
Melina's going to help me with my makeup.
I am?
Wait, really?
You're going to help me with my makeup?
Don't make me do it.
This is going to be a big deal.
This is good content, you know? I want to help you with your makeup. Don't make me do it. This is going to be a big deal. This is good content.
You know, I want to help you with your makeup, but you guys have to record it.
I'll do the contouring.
I'll have it all wrong, though.
Nah, your shit looks on point.
I just need the basics. Yeah, but it's because it's on me.
Like, I can't.
But we'll do it.
We'll do it.
Actually, I have a makeup artist coming.
Maybe I'll get her to do it.
Yeah.
There we go.
I'm actually, like, speaking of, like, packing and stuff, like, I have an idea of, like, what I'm bringing.
But, like, it is going to be a lot of flowy stuff for sure.
Loosey-goosey.
I'm having FOMO.
Like not tight.
