Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Web3 Exposed. We are about to get started. Don't worry. Don't worry. I heard. I heard. We'll address it. Let's get it. Like, comment, repost.
Yeah. Tentions is definitely rising. T-Done right now.
T-Time. T-Time, T-Time, T-Time. T-Time like I got a cup of this shit. T-Time like gone for the quarter to six.

Yo, it's Friday night. I know you little motherfucking DJs wanna go have yourself a drink. Instead of having a fucking bottom shelf option, why not a top shelf option?
Repost the room, drop your .es, and maybe you get blessed with some meat. And then you can get a top shelf drink instead of a bottom shelf drink!
Listen, a lot of people would justify giving you an NFT that's not even valued at $4. By the time I try to get the transfer, I done paid $6 in gas fees.

Pretty bitch, but I came from the gutter.

And I'm proud that I'm still getting bigger.
This is a boring guy, I'm stuck in the rut.
Lamborghini run with a hop at the chart.
Pretty bitch fight going with a big ass butt.
Yeah, pretty face and a wasteful gone.
And I'm making them we hold on.
And I'm making them we hold on.

Like, damn, see how I move.
It's everybody that comments is probably about to get some ETH.
Just 12 motherfuckers, say less.
But I like this song a lot.
Stop fucking with me, man.
We got lightning on it today.
You're a general arresting.
You feel like a boss, but I'm waiting to raise.
I'm a kid to the sinner with me in my feelings.
Don't you got me feeling no way?
I ain't saying I'm a dick.
I don't have a responsibility all because I fall for the pain.
I don't need to touch my team.
Edderall makes niggas feel like Superman.
Now I see why certain of y'all act a certain way.
I'm going to make it take me away.
I know my dogs in this bitch.
I know they don't shoot shit, no.
And my little brother turned to a drummer.
And now you got to love them.
Routine all fucked up this morning.
But it was 100% worth it.
She actually is now seeing like, damn, okay, my daughter is actually an adult.
She literally treats me like a kid still.
But I'm like, mom, I got a routine.
When I'm over there at her house, she's like, yo, I got a routine.
And now she gets it over here.
She's like, damn, I get it.
No, but that's definitely a great fucking excuse to skip a routine, your parents.
Especially if you still can talk to your parents.
So, reach out to your parents if you haven't already in a day, a week, whatever.
If you're able to, man, definitely, definitely recommend that.
Anyway, welcome to Web3 Exposed, 4.30 p.m. Eastern.
That fucking Celsius is hitting right now.
That doesn't mean that you go get shit-faced all weekend.
That means that you should fucking double down on some work, on some reading, on some studying.
Because you got extra free time.
And do something that majority of people are not doing when they're not doing it.
And I promise you, you can come out on top.
100% will come out on top.
I am 100 million percent addicted to Frientech.
And it's not like a, let me see.
I'm addicted to seeing the activity.
Now, I know there's a lot of people that are not understanding how things are working.
And they don't know who to buy and trying to make money.
And, yeah, you're going to get wrecked if you do stuff like that.
But I'm just fascinated with how quickly they're updating things.
I think the TVO is at, like, 40 mil or something.
Lots of just back to the social currency conversation we're going to get into later.
But it's just kind of justifying and determining, like, what is actually going to matter.
There was a conversation I saw in a chat earlier.
Somebody was like, yo, who the fuck is so-and-so?
I don't even remember the name.
And then somebody was like, oh, this is, like, fucking Steve Nash's best friend.
Like, so you had to, like, you got to know.
Like, it's one of those if you know, you know situations.
And the person's key, like, pump because some didn't know who that was, right?
Like, some type of silent celebrity or whatever.
And so, like, things like that I see happening more and more.
I'm not going to say me as an example because that's not a good example.
But I even am finding people.
I'm like, oh, who the fuck is this?
I've never seen them in my life.
All because I saw them on the, I don't know, the little global activity, right?
I'm not here to pump anything.
You guys get real fucking emotional when we talk about anything that has to do with stuff like that, which I can understand.
But anyway, I'm bullish on new tech.
I made a post yesterday that is just exciting.
It's a breath of fucking fresh air to see you guys doing something different than footing each other and fucking getting rugged by each other.
Even though, you know, this whole coin meta is finally, y'all motherfuckers unwoke the fuck up.
Stop fucking rugged each other.
Stop launching coins on each other.
Stop front running each other.
Like, this shit is disgusting.
Like, it's so fucking sick.
But again, at least we're having new combos.
At least we're excited about something new.
I, on the other hand, am very much so excited for launching.
Yeah, I'm just going to shut up now.
Anyway, make sure you comment.
Web3 Exposed has officially begun.
Why do you say that, prophets?
Because all the low frequency motherfuckers will not have a fucking chance against you.
Keep your frequency high.
I'm not saying get high on drugs.
I'm saying keep your frequency.
You focus on what makes you tick.
You focus on what makes you better as an individual, as a human, as a dad, as a mother,
as a girlfriend, as a boyfriend, as an employer, as whatever it is you do, whoever you are,
double downing on yourself is the motherfucking best alpha that you're ever, ever going to
get on any Twitter spaces.
Fuck me and fuck this show.
Triple down on yourself before anything.
Obviously not fuck the show, bro.
I think Scott is about to pick up his son, so he'll come back in a second.
Will, amazing to see you, my friend.
What's the market sentiment of the day?
I can drop that in a second.
You know, first off, I want to start off with, you know, I had my carbs this morning
and I missed the gym about six months ago.
So, uh, been digging deep, right?
Been digging deep in this crypto market, having a hard time breathing because I gained so
much weight, but you know, you know how it is.
Uh, no, I'm just kidding.
No, I did gain a couple pounds, so I'm not going to lie.
So, anyways, getting into the news.
Um, I wanted to touch base on a couple things.
So, I know there's a lot of fear, uncertainty, doubt, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
Um, I was digging through some info here and I saw, I came across this, uh, artist.
I don't know if we've ever discussed this, but basically payment giant MasterCard partners
with Solana, Polygon, Apto.
Yeah, that was last week I saw that actually.
And then it's, it's funny because they kind of considered Solana to be relevant and everybody
was kind of hype off that, which I'm bullish on.
I'm, I've always been bullish on Solana as a, if it could fix its tech, I'm not bullish
on how they run their structure.
But yeah, not, not, I don't think it's talked about enough.
So, the, the, the thing I wanted to bring out specifically, right, in, in the one that
I was reading, is the reasoning behind this partnership is, is specifically towards NFTs.
I don't know if people read into that portion of it.
Um, cause I did read the whole thing and kind of go through like, why would they be interested
in these chains or what would they be interested in on them?
And I think they're just recognizing that NFTs exist there and it's probably the best way
to capitalize on NFTs if they're looking to do so.
Um, so that, that's kind of what I see, right?
And, and I, I think a lot of people do see Solana specifically as like the NFT kind of
It is one of those, but, uh, so are some of the other ones.
Um, but yeah, outside of that, that's, that's basically kind of the, some news I wanted to
I wasn't sure if it was spoke on or not because I haven't heard anybody talk about it, but
it's very interesting when it comes to that.
Um, I did also throw up some, uh, some charts and stuff like that, um, on the total Bitcoin
crypto market cap, I think it's, it's another thing that's just not looked at enough.
Um, not understood enough.
Um, the interesting thing that I found is that typically when you go up high, you're, you're
stochastic, this is a, an indicator that's on your charts.
Um, and, and you can call it a coincidence, you can call it whatever you want, but it seems
to happen every single time.
You continue to trade the high end range of the stochastic on the monthly.
And then once you hit your bottom end range, you're 30, it does not mean you're at the
Like it can keep on going.
Uh, and, but you'll stay at that bottom on the stochastic specifically, right?
Um, once you start to move out of that bottom though, on the stochastic and I'll throw up
a chart here in a bit and I'll kind of throw it up there for you guys to see.
Once you kind of move out of the bottom of that stochastic, you kind of signified or signaled
Now, will you catch the exact bottom?
Um, will you catch the exact top using this method?
It's probably not going to indicate that because if you, if you took that as an indicator of
the top, the last time you'd probably sold the first top, you would have came down and
then you just saw it come back up and you'd have bought the second top and that would
So you want to let the trend once it's shifted down to kind of continue down on the higher
And then from there you can kind of look at where the market is.
So anyways, long story short, um, basically we, we've hit that bottom.
Um, we rolled across that bottom and now we've moved out of that bottom.
Now we're, we're overextended again, which is fine because typically you don't come back
down until you hit the next bear market from the way that it's set up.
Um, you continue to stay elevated.
Now you can come down to like the 50 range, which is your mid mark and you could roll out
of that, which is what I'm anticipating.
Um, I think if we come down to that mid range, we're probably looking at like 19 K 20 K somewhere
in that range, but you don't necessarily revisit your lows and you don't, you don't form
I know, I know there will be people at opposite ends of that, that, that portion that may
be a little triggering to some people.
Um, but you know, this is, this is just what it is.
You know, this is me kind of looking at the charts, trying to find patterns that match
and trying to form a story.
Essentially that that's what, that's what you do as an analyst.
Um, but you know, overall in the higher timeframes, that's kind of what I'm seeing right now.
I, I, I don't, I don't think we can see lower lows based on just that alone.
Now, does that mean that's, that's a definite?
I mean, at any point a structure can change or, uh, or a pattern could change or structure
So I never come into the, you know, the room with definites.
I come in with, you know, probabilities.
I think the probability of going to form lower lows is a very low chance.
Um, I think again, a lot of people that are talking about macro, I think they're just way
too early to the bear trade.
Uh, believe me, like, um, and, and Shanice knows this like profit.
She knows this like in 2021 at the end, I was like, sell everything.
Like everybody was telling me how bulled up they were and how we were going to go super
I was like, nah, this thing's done.
Like it was, it was so easy to visualize the top.
And I'm telling you, like, I'm not, I'm not saying I'm some kind of mystic that can
read into a ball, but I'm pretty sure we're, we're near a bottom if not, you know, already
And so, you know, I'm continuing to dial in in these markets.
Now, the issue is right now was with all coins specifically, I could see them forming
So I do want to, I do want to be very specific about what I'm saying with that.
Um, and if all coins can form lower lows, you already know what that is, what that
If you're dabbling in NFTs or dabbling in all coins.
But I think if you're looking to put in what we call stink bids, which is spits way below
floor price and people are willing to accept them that even with lower lows, if your project
survives, um, you could, you can get in at really good pricing.
It's almost like you're, you're offering OTC on NFTs because you're allowing people to
They're going to see significant losses on their current price, but they have no buyers
where they're sitting at in price.
Which means they're going to have to endure that drawdown or they can just sell to you
for, and take a haircut on that and move on to something else.
And that's, that's what we call capitulation, right?
That's your capitulatory move.
And a lot of people have been doing that on the NFT side.
I've, I've been doing it to people left and right.
Like literally putting them at, like, I've been putting like $50 bids on like things
that were like 50 ETH and people have been selling to me.
Like, I, and I know you see me and be like, well, that project's dead.
Might be, I might lose the 50 bucks.
Might lose a hundred bucks.
You know, I'm doing it on a lot of these and I'm telling you guys, like, you're seeing
a lot of the market capitulate pretty hard right here.
So, I mean, overall, you know, that, that's my sentiment.
I think like if we're going to see a bear market, I think personally, it's going to be
That's, that's where I think it'll, it'll start.
Um, I'm just saying, like, I'm, I think the market's going to run again.
And I think that we'll, we'll see that this whole, this whole recession thing is going
to play much later than what a lot of people think.
I was already an adult when that happened.
A lot of people in here never, you know, they were probably born at that time.
So like, it's a lot different for me than it is for a lot of people because
a lot of you are coming to the market.
You know, you may have some education or you may have a lot of education, but you got
And I know, I know some of you may not believe that, but like, that's, that's just how it
It's just like work history.
If I go into a job and I'm like, Hey, I just graduated college.
The job's going to scam me on my hourly.
I don't have any experience, but like, if I come into a job and I got 10 years experience
on my belt, they'll pay me whatever I want.
As long as with, as long as it's within reason, right?
As long as it's within reason.
And if, if you can, like, I can tell you this, you can go to a $60,000 job.
I'm just throwing this out there.
I know I'm ranting a little bit, but you can go to a $60,000 job and you can ask for 90K.
And if, if you can explain to them why you're worth 90K, a job will give it to you.
Like, I think a lot of people just don't realize they can get more value than what they actually,
what their actual job says they can.
Like, you can go to something like Indeed and it'll tell you, Hey, your cap is 60K, but you
can ask for 90 if you can provide a reason, you know, within reason to get that 90, right?
If you're like, I'll go above and beyond, I got all these things that I'll do extra, you
know, I'll work on this side of things.
I'll work on that side of things.
If you're working two or three, three people's jobs and you're saving the company money, they're
more than willing to pay you.
I just want to throw that out there.
Crypto market, again, altcoins down, probably more.
I would say Bitcoin is going to kind of hold in that T market.
I think it's capitulating pretty hard.
I would say indices as far as stocks and everything like that, they look okay.
My anticipation is to see all time high before we end up kind of getting that, that breakdown,
I would say in the market a second time.
And if you look between 2000 and 2008 lows, you'll see that it formed a lower low.
I did the same thing in the seventies.
It did the same thing in between 2010, 2020.
It always comes up and retouches the highs before it retouches the lows and it sweeps the
lows a little bit deeper on that second low down.
So I'm anticipating the markets to run into those highs again.
You know, it could be 4,500, 5,000 spy, and then probably come back down and revisit the
lows and hit those 3,200s that a lot of bears were looking for.
I think they're just so early.
The real part of the market where you have to be careful is when bears and bulls kind
of come together in harmony, where they're both like up only, and then you know you've
But yeah, when the bears capitulate, the upside's done, right?
And same thing with the lows.
But yeah, that's my thoughts on the market overall.
I have a question for you, and then we're going to jump right into the conversation.
I've been wanting to talk about this for a few days, but to be honest, I'm glad we don't
talk about things right away because a lot of people talk about things or think it's relevant
to talk about so they can pump their numbers, even though they have shitty-ass takes and
don't understand why they're talking about it.
But we simmered a little bit, a little bit.
So Nakamigos is coming out with another .05E.
Same amount for holders, which I don't know what the fuck is the point of being a holder.
Will, any take on the business plan that they decide to go along with in launching another,
I think it's 10,000 pieces on the chain?
I mean, if it's not a game, I don't see the reason in it right now.
I think you should just continue to try and build value for your holders and building value
for holders and not extracting liquidity from them.
I know that may be a hot take for a lot of you, but that's really just my thoughts.
Like, I'll give you an example of a project that keeps dropping NFTs but has something
And, you know, again, I'm not shilling.
Actually, I won't even give you the name.
There's a project that has NFTs and they keep on dropping NFTs on every single chain, but
they have an actual game, right?
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's done properly, in my opinion.
But I've rarely seen it done right.
And it's cross-chain and you can battle cross-chain.
So you can have ETH ones, you can have BSC ones, you can have whatever you want, right?
And they have like a specialty one for each one and you can actually get buyouts from the
team on certain ones and so on and so forth.
So they'll buy you out at like much higher dollar value if you get the rare ones.
So, I mean, obviously low percentage are going to get them, but I'm just throwing that out
there as far as like, you know, what the opportunity is there.
But you can also earn them through playing the game, right?
So there's a couple different methods with that.
But the whole point is, is even though they drop a lot of them, the value stays because
they have a product, right?
They have an actual product.
So just throwing that out there for that.
I do know a way to gamify Frientech too, if you want to talk about that.
But I've been throwing it for a few minutes.
This motherfucker gets on Frientech, his shit pumps.
He gets so fucking excited.
I found the loophole, man.
He starts to get so fucking excited.
No, I definitely want to hear about that in just a second.
Anyway, thank you all for being here.
I'm about to pass away some ETH.
I'm going to give away some ETH at the top of the hour.
All you had to do was repost and drop your .eth to be qualified.
I promise you, it's not from a multi-sig.
Anyway, I'll give it to Bad Brothers really fast.
I thought that if you're a holder, it's a free mint now.
Oh, that's new information.
I thought that's why he said you were happy to get it.
I bet you they heard all the bitching.
Stone, you want to say something?
No, that's what I was going to say.
No, I said that's really good.
You're creating value then, right?
Just kind of like how they did for the apes that gave mutants, right?
So, very similar situation.
So, 20,000 new Migos on the chain.
I can't hear Bad Brothers, so I wanted to jump down and come back up real quick.
I just want to give you a heads up.
Bad Brothers, are you minting the knocks?
I mean, if they get to public, I might mint one.
Just because, I don't know, I thought the whole conversation around it was pretty funny.
Because, you know, there's so much speculation around this and, like, the team has released absolutely nothing.
Like, they have a license agreement for, you know, hey, if you want to take this and build a game off of it, you can.
And they added, like, some lore, I guess, around the characteristics of, oh, this guy has speed.
This guy has agility or whatever.
But there is literally no indication that they are ever building anything.
And then people got, like, so pissed off at them for, like, asking for .05 for just releasing a different collection.
And they're, like, oh, they haven't done anything and, like, the community is doing everything.
I'm, like, yeah, they never said they were going to do anything.
And it just goes back to the whole conversation we've had, like, a hundred times of, oh, are you a consumer or are you an investor and all that?
And my thing is always just be, what is the team saying?
Like, even if, you know, it's a wink and a nod to get around the SEC for some of this stuff, if they treat it or message like, you know, they were building something or whatever and then they don't, and then you call them a rugger, that's one thing.
But when a team doesn't even have those expectations out there, they literally just released an NFT.
And people are hating on them for not being what their expectations of an NFT project are.
I just found that whole sequence to be amusing.
It's just people not knowing that, you know, how to invest correctly.
They don't understand when you're an actual consumer or when you're actually investing.
And a lot of people consume and don't realize they're consumers at the end.
They're not laughing at anybody's fault if you did do that.
I'm just stating, like, what's the problem?
We need to understand this definition.
But it's like, even with that, where it's like, you know, people have had conversations.
Every time you have an NFT, you're basically a consumer because you have no equity or whatever.
And it's like, so you should expect nothing.
But at the same time, I'm like, OK, if the team was saying they were going to do X, Y and Z, and then they didn't do it.
And now you're like, oh, why are you hating?
You have no right to complain, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like that whole conversation, I always found it fucking stupid.
No, these people, I don't care about the law.
These people said something and they didn't do it.
That's what pisses me off.
If it's one thing to do something and then fail, that's OK.
I got no problem with you.
But, you know, and then when you have something like this where they literally say nothing and then people are upset about it, I'm like, come on, guys.
Yeah, the law actually can get involved if they do say something, right?
That's what happened with the whole Disney thing, right?
I think it was one of the projects were saying that we were going to be as big as Disney, and that's what got held against them in court when I'm going to court for it.
So, yeah, you have to be careful about what you say.
I get it with some of these projects.
They're just trying to be careful.
But you can build things and build value without indicating that I'm offering you anything, right?
And I think that's what a lot of these projects lack.
They lack any type of creativity when it comes to building value in their NFT projects.
NFT Drew, welcome to the stage, fellow Aquamarine.
I appreciate it, fellow Aquamarine.
Will, from that perspective, I think you were just saying that.
Do you think that it's more on the project or it's more on the people because all that has been associated with not being able to do is pure speculation?
Do you think it's the people that are speculating because there's not enough information and that's the project's fault?
Or do you think that everyone should just be mad at everyone else for just making up bullshit and spreading rumors across the board and just hyping that up?
I think – I hate to say it, but, like, people need to look at what you're investing in.
Like, I almost said DYOR, but that's so cringe right now.
But, like, I'm just being real.
The problem is people are not willing to look behind the curtain, right?
Like, you can ask a team, like, hey, what are you guys doing?
Well, we're just making some NFTs.
Okay, you know what they're doing.
So are you wanting to consume those NFTs or do you want to, you know, move on to something bigger and brighter?
And if they say, hey, we're going to build these NFTs and we're going to build this game, we're going to do this and we're going to do that, and they build out a roadmap, hey, that's something you can invest in, right?
That's more of an investment versus actually coming in and being a consumer.
And I think this is actually a great conversation, I think, in this space specifically because there's a lot of people in here who play with NFTs and don't understand whether they're on the consumer side or whether they're on the, you know, semi, you know, be able to make some money off of it side, which means, you know, you're building utility and so on and so forth.
We won't even call it investment, right, because investment involves you getting residual, and residual involves some type of SEC security situation, and SEC security situation means you need to have a real company and you need to be registered.
So, you know, again, I can go deeper into that conversation, but, like, it's the same thing with stock companies, right?
Like, there's so many layers to this that a lot of people just don't understand it.
If Jack down the street, who just turned 22 yesterday, goes and makes an NFT project, that doesn't mean that you're going to make anything off of that NFT project.
A lot of people, they want to buy it, and they want to have expectations of a pump, but they never sell them to the pump, right?
Then they expect the second pump, the second pump never comes.
And then they get another pump, and they're like, oh, it's going to see the first pump, and then it's, like, half the move of the first pump.
And then, you know, like, people ride these things down to the floor because they're not paying attention.
Yeah, I think it's just, you know, the bad financial literacy habit of everyone.
I mean, especially in Nakamigos, right?
And, like, it was a free mint, so, you know, you bought into it with no expectations, expecting the most.
I think that's what everyone in the space does, which is absolutely insane, especially with the one-time investment.
And then there's no additional recurring revenue that's being picked up other than secondary, which shouldn't be accounted for at this point.
And then, you know, the other people that bought at the top, super unfortunate.
My pocket's deep in that, unfortunately.
And you bought that based on the hype of the price going up.
And so the price goes down, and you FUD, and you expect the most, when yet the only thing you bought in for was the price going up.
And there's nothing ever stated to be expected anyway.
So, like, it's just, you know, it's the Spider-Man meme looking at each other, but really, like, it's the Spider-Man looking in the mirror.
It's not laughing at others' misfortune.
It's the repetitiveness of this pattern with people, right?
And it happens with the same people over and over again.
They go and borrow money from the bank.
Then they go and they start hawking their car.
And they start doing, like, they just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper and deeper because they don't understand what they're doing.
And that's really kind of the issue in the space.
Like, I don't try to come in and give, like, financial advice or anything like that.
I'm just giving you guys, like, kind of the process of people's downturns and why they end up in these situations where they're like, hey, this place is a scam.
Because after about a year or two of them losing everything, if they haven't gone homeless, they're probably telling everybody, hey, don't ever touch crypto.
Again, it all comes down.
This space is the wild, wild west, right?
A lot of people like securities.
Everything's out there for you to see.
Why do people like crypto?
They like speculation, right?
A lot of people like speculation in the space.
But there's a lot of things that you don't have to speculate as much on, whereas other things you're really speculating, right?
And I think that that's what a lot of people don't understand is, like, when you're getting into the high speculation plays, you're at a high risk to lose.
And when you're getting into the lower speculation plays, you're at a lower risk to lose.
Both of their ROIs are going to be similar.
I know some of you may not think it is, but it is.
Like, you're just you're adding extra risk for no reason.
So I always think it's interesting and funny with the whole, like, a lot of us came into the space because we heard an announcement through, like, this Web2-ness that people were making money.
But, like, you know, after the first couple of times that you dabbled into the space, like, at that point, you do become, like, there is no, I don't think there's an option of are you either an investor or a consumer?
I think you just become a consumer at this point, you know, like, if you're really an investor, I think your routes and your tactics would be a lot different.
But that's just I hate to say it.
Like, most people here are just consumers.
And it baffles me that we have these kind of conversations when it's like we don't have these conversations in real life with the products that we consume or that we interact with on a daily basis.
It just happens to be in this space.
Like, I'm all for, like, talking about things.
But, you know, when it comes down to the bitching and the crying sometimes, and I say this respectfully, like, yo, just understand your place.
And when you understand your place, shit just goes better because then you know how to pivot from there.
That's just my only outtake on this.
I wanted to add to that, too.
I would say this, though, Cheddar, and I have done this with myself, right, with myself looking in the mirror.
When you go browsing on Amazon, you're like, oh, you got some of that, you got some of this.
A lot of people are not asking themselves that question.
They're just, like, repetitively patterned, get on Amazon, buy something every single day, right?
There's a ton of people that do that.
They're like, oh, it's $2?
Okay, I'll buy a bunch of those.
And then they'll try the product, they'll send it back, and they'll be like, all right, just get my money back and just keep doing this.
And they just keep on spiraling money through Amazon over and over and over again.
This is the same thing that people do in this space.
They go and they lose a little bit of money.
They make a little bit of money.
Then they lose a lot of money.
Then they make a little bit of money.
Then they lose a lot of money.
And it's a downward spiral.
It's funny because I do predict this future.
I predict the future where it's, like, TLC, hi, my name is so-and-so, and I have a digital hoard collection.
And they're just hoarders.
And it's just a bunch of freaking, like, man, like, yeah, I bought a bunch of these rugs.
I just happen to get free stuff from it, and I just keep it in the house.
But, you know, that's just a lifestyle.
No, Cheddar, like, you just made me just actually think of something.
I remember, like, growing up and listening to my great aunts.
They'd be on the phone, and they'd be listening, like, on the home shopping network, just buying shit.
And you mentioned hoarders, bro.
Like, they still have all this fucking shit all over the place.
Like, it makes so much sense, bro.
We're just hoarding all this digital shit.
Yeah, that's why I brought up that analogy, man.
It's just, people don't get it, so they get it, right?
If you find yourself never asking yourself, do I need this?
Then you need to go back and kind of go to the drawing board, right?
Because if you're not asking yourself, do you need this?
Are you asking yourself, did I look into this project enough?
Because you never ask yourself if you need something or not, right?
And when I look into things to invest in, I look into them from a deep perspective.
I don't just come in like, okay, all this thing's pumping.
I always look at things the opposite of your normal person.
I mean, I'm retail just like the rest of you, but I understand the difference between a consumer and a producer, right?
Somebody who produces products, they can produce knowledge, they can produce anything, right?
And somebody who consumes.
And consumption will not make you money, right?
What makes you money is stop listening to people that are going to tell you something's going to go 1,000x and understand I got 5x, not time to move on, right?
Or at least take my initial and some of my profits, I'm out.
And some people are just not willing to do that.
They're not willing to take it.
You think it's an L to sell at a profit.
I see you on the top there.
I was just going to say, you know, it's a lot easier.
Or it's not easier, but I was going to say, oh, oh, you know, in the bear, you have a logical mentality, mindset of trading.
And in the bull, you have an emotional mentality for trading, right?
Because obviously FOMO and everything else is in play.
And it's so funny to say that hoarder shit because that ass, you know, the bull make you do crazy shit, bro.
I got like 23 black hoodies in my closet and they still in my closet.
But I guess I am a hoarder.
This is step one of acknowledging it.
So I think, like, if you're a collector in this space or, like, depending on why you're here, then, like, you're a consumer, right?
But, like, and I think a lot of the things that people are selling are consumables.
But I don't think most people here are consumers.
I feel like most people here are gamblers who are, like, gambling on consumables.
Like, the way that people gamble on kicks and shit like that.
Like, there's some people buying them for one reason.
But, like, yeah, that's what I think most people here are doing.
The funny part is that you can usually get out of those plays if you're patient, right?
Even if you're gambling on consumption.
Like, if you look at something that, for instance, like Punks, right?
Look how hard Punks fell off before it blew up.
Like, a lot of people don't understand, like, the concept of, like, buy low, sell high, right?
They don't understand the concept of, you know, if you're in drawdown, don't sell at losses.
Like, they're just not willing to do that.
They think that because I've lost money here, I need to take that lost money and put it somewhere else because it's green.
And then you lose money again.
And you continue to do that until you wheedle down your entire portfolio.
Look, do you know who the patient are?
I have a bunch of crypto that I just bought recently.
I staked it with anticipation for the next bull run.
If I stake it, guess what?
It takes me 30 days to unlock.
So, like, this is the difference between patient people and unpatient.
If you're not patient, there's ways to fix that.
You just have to find them.
Yeah, like, what I do, I do a little bit of both.
Like, I'll stake some, right?
Like, I'll have ETH that I know I'm going to play with because, like, I have people in this space.
Like, I just like to support, you feel me?
So, I'll throw ETH at shit that I don't care if it goes anywhere, right?
I'll just put the ETH there.
It doesn't matter, right?
And then I'll have other ETH that, okay, I know what I'm doing with this.
Let me go ahead and stake this.
Let me get this percentage APY back because, yeah, this is going to blow.
Yeah, and, I mean, it doesn't mean take, like, shit either and stake it.
Like, I'm not going to buy some coin that just came out yesterday that's called Floormat
and go and stake it on some random, you know, arbitrage platform that I've never heard of.
Like, I'm looking to buy things that make sense and stake them on platforms that have liquidity
just because I know I can get my stuff out.
And if I don't, I don't, right?
Like, you never know 100%, so I could lose it.
But I always have hedges for losses, right?
So, like, I take percentages of my positions and I stake them.
The other percentage, I leave it loose in case I want to play with it.
But I don't sit there and try and flip losses all day.
I think this is a horrible process.
And a lot of people do that in the NFT market, and that's why they get down bad, right?
They get into this one thing, they bought it for, like, $40,000, then they get it to the next one
because their project went down to, like, $20,000 or $30,000.
And then the next one, they got it for less.
And then that one gets down to, like, $5,000.
And now they've got $2,000 to play with.
They buy their last NFT that they didn't get into with the last bit of money they have
because they keep on selling at losses.
And then all of a sudden that project's just not performing the way they thought it should
because they're trying to flip back up to their NFT that they sold much higher
that they can't even get back into now because the floor price on that one's way higher
than the floor price on the one they just bought
because they wheedled down their profits by trying to flip back and forth.
And then, you know, they get upset at these projects.
They're upset because they're trapped.
And I understand the feeling.
I understand the feeling.
Yeah, and that creates more speculation because it adds to the confusion, right?
And then with that confusion, you want to talk about it.
And then now you're being open about this.
And, like, you start speculating on what you become.
I mean, what you start speculating on becomes truth to you, right?
Like, you're just spreading – like, it's all fucking – it's sad.
It really is, like, a mental battle, right?
Like, we have to be more aware.
Like you said, we have to be aware of, like, what we're purchasing, what we're buying.
If we're actually the consumer or we're actually, like, helping contribute
and adding on to the ecosystem, like, what is our position?
What's our real position?
Or if it even is an ecosystem, right?
That's the other question.
I've seen a lot of projects just min out, min out, min out, min out,
but they're not making an ecosystem.
They're just making copies.
And those are two different things, too.
I think there are projects out here building ecosystems.
There's projects – and, again, that's use case, right?
You're building a reason for value of your asset, regardless of how you look at it.
Now, granted, you always have to remember the art sector even, right?
It's a very niche sector.
It's a specific sector, so if you're getting into those type of things when you're talking art and everything,
you've got to understand that you've got to have some strength when it comes to selling, right?
Because you're going to get some people that are going to really low price you, right?
They're going to low price you, and you have to not take those.
Like, art is a specific sector.
It's just like selling a car.
You need to find a specific buyer for those things when you're trying to sell them.
And the patient, they make out.
Like, people sell them at losses, and then somebody going to make life-changing generational money off the sale
because they were willing to wait for the right person to sell it.
But the person who sold it the first time, they're mad.
They're mad because they sold for, like, one one-thousandth of the value of what the other person got.
But, again, you have to – if you're into a specific sector, you need to know that sector, too.
So if you're in the NFTs, JPEGs, you need to know that sector.
You need to know it from the back end to the front end, what could build value, how value can be built.
And if you can think of those things from a creative side, then you could probably come up with something better.
If not, you can look for projects that have that value.
But if you can't do either one of those, what are you really investing in?
Because you don't know what you're investing in if you don't know how it works.
That's just the fact of it.
Like, when I go into layer ones, I know what layer ones are, right?
I know what layer twos are.
I know what layer zeros are.
I know what non-fungible token means.
Because I think a lot of people in this space think it just means NFTs as in JPEGs.
And it doesn't mean that at all.
Sorry, I took my headphones off, so I might be extra loud.
You know, that new iPhone life.
What the hell was I going to say?
Okay, I fucked myself up.
I'm going to meet myself, and I'm going to come back on it.
But it was to interject on something that you had said, pretty much.
On the NFT side, JPEG side, or like?
I think just in general, I think I was just going to say, like, just the sentiment.
I think how you brought up the point of just, like, the investor side and all that.
And I keep hearing that word.
I'm like, by default, that person just becomes, if he's already having trouble there, he's a consumer.
And you look at the real world, right?
And it's not for everybody.
Not everybody signs up to be, like, a broker or, like, a trader and everything.
We know our place in the real life.
We just have this facade that we think that we can all become traders.
And this whole Wagmy thing fucked it up.
I'm going to say it, and I think we've said it in this stage before.
Like, not all of us are going to make it in that industry.
Like, even myself, I came in here, and I got lucky off of a bag.
I can only tell you what the market sentiment is and what the emotion is because I can read people.
But I can't tell you charts.
That's why I like listening to this one because Will kind of, like, drops knowledge.
But even then, I don't take advantage of it because I know my place, but it's nice to know these things.
And I think the whole industry would just be better when we all realize that shit.
Yeah, and I want people to know, too.
Like, I don't think I'm smarter than any of you, really, to be honest with you.
Like, I just, I know how to read liquidity, right?
I know how to read money.
Like, it's just a different look.
It takes away the emotion for me because otherwise, like, I'm just digging through and trying to find projects with fundamentals.
And I can tell you, fundamentals didn't work out in the bear for anybody.
That market just got destroyed as far as the fundamental market.
That's on all sides, stocks and crypto.
So, just like, we just really have to pay attention to what we're building into and understand what we're trying to get into.
And, again, if you don't read charts, it's still okay to invest.
The point being is, is you got to look, okay, what's my drawdown?
What's this project doing?
Is this project pretty solid?
And then you have to have anticipations to hold that project if you're not a chartist, right?
If you don't understand analysts, that's fine.
That's perfectly okay to not understand it.
You just got to be able to withdraw or at least hold until the next bowl is what I would say, even if there's more drawdown.
Did you want to jump in there, Ryder?
I would say hey to Scott, but I know he's not listening in right now.
Sorry I missed you guys all week.
Been traveling, but back on solid ground.
And I will add some, I'll add two pieces.
You know I've always got positive energy, so I'm feeling you.
I just need my positive internal love.
I totally agree with what you said earlier.
You know, you got to love yourself first.
You got to look after yourself first if you want to really be a positive, true person and keep your values.
I do want to add another piece beyond this, which is what Will was saying.
And Will, man, I love your take on things.
It is not often that you come across people that actually speak the truth from experience and understanding and playing with things and learning and failing and growing from it.
But I want to add something as well, and that is one of the things that I think we're really lacking today.
But we're lacking particularly in this space when we talk about like NFT projects and founders and creators and whatever else.
What we don't have is a lot of the information or analytics or background or details on these founders and groups that are building these projects.
So a lot of what we're doing or a lot of what people are doing is speculating and gambling.
Because unlike if you go look at a Web2 project, everybody's doxxed, you know the founders, you know who they're raising money from, you know you can go to Crunchbase, you can go to any of the VCs, you can look at their pitch decks, you can understand how they have their path to revenue,
you know what their visions are for going from an idea to some kind of friends and family kind of fundraising to pre-seed and then to a true product market fit and then hopefully a series A, series B, etc.
Like Web3 just does not have that today.
We have speculative information around, oh, this founder is a cool guy or a cool gal or whatever they identify as.
Or this person has been successful in investing.
That's what they tell you.
We don't have complete transparency into their investment results or their returns and whatever else because they're probably using 10,000 wallets and they're hiding a lot of stuff.
So I think it's very, very difficult to enter into, I'll use the NFT space as the conversation was flowing, but to enter into an NFT project or take a position with an NFT project, knowing that probably 99% of those just don't have any of the fundamentals behind them.
We don't know what the team are really about, so you can't take enough of a calculated approach to, what's the potential of this being a rug?
You're just going off what you think you know or what you think you've read.
So I just wanted to share that because it is important and I am not a heavy investor or trader or whatever else.
But it is very important to use data to make a lot of these decisions as opposed to somebody did the, gave a great analogy of using emotions during a bull market.
And I guess using your analysis or your research during a bear market, but it's so true.
It is really important to use valid data points before jumping into any project.
I think it's only going to get worse.
And, you know, I was saying this like a year ago when, you know, the regulation conversation was heating up and all that.
Like, now, basically, people can just excuse, especially projects that are coming out, any question with, oh, you know, the SEC, yada, yada, yada, right?
Where, you know, a year ago, if you asked hard questions to projects and they didn't answer it, then you can get some indication.
Oh, okay, they may not be legit.
They may be a rug, yada, yada.
But I think now it's only going to get harder.
Yeah, but doesn't all this come down, though, Rhino, to specifically you as an individual?
Not you, but, like, the investor or the person who's trying to be an investor as an individual?
That's really what it is.
That fucking Vegas Wi-Fi sucks.
Are you going to picture him, bro?
This is the best audio experience on Web3 Twitter, man.
I'll talk in a minute, but go ahead right now.
I wasn't saying anything.
I was laughing at the fact that the batteries in your Sony Walkman headphones were running out.
I got an iPhone just for everybody else, okay?
The yellow Sony headphones.
No, I was saying, though, like, it comes down to the individual investor, though.
Like, you can't blame anybody but yourself and put your money in something, right?
And you can blame the company.
Like, at the end of the day, I can point fingers all I want.
But unless I got, you know, seven, eight figures to go after them with a lawyer because they just took seven, eight figures, so they're going to fight me with it.
And is there any reason to be mad at them, right?
Like, you can be, but what does that anger do?
It does nothing for you as an individual.
The best thing to do is just, you know, lick your wounds and move on and just be smarter about your moves next time.
And I wanted to add one additional piece because you did mention this about...
I know you have deep knowledge in L1s and L2s and that you even look at projects where you just grab some...
Buy some tokens and stake them.
Absolutely fantastic because for anybody that actually does understand L2s and how they operate, particularly with proof of stake consensus mechanism, you're actually helping secure that network, just so you know.
So, when you buy the tokens or when you purchase tokens and you stake them, you're actually increasing the security of that network and for your, basically for your tokens that you are staking or loaning to the network, you are rewarded.
So, you should receive, you know, it's usually around a 0.1% return on your tokens, roughly somewhere around there.
So, but yeah, just so you know.
But, again, do your own research because not all projects are 100% decentralized.
So, be careful of who you're staking with.
No, I was just going to add, yeah, like, at the end of the day, like, you know, you got to focus on you.
Pay attention to what you're invested in.
Like, I don't, I can't make it any clearer for a lot of you, and I know that's, it's difficult at times.
You want to get caught up in the hype, but, like, it, look, whenever I feel FOMO, I just don't buy it.
I mean, that's, that's, that's my simplest solution, man.
Like, if I'm feeling like I can't turn the blind eye and I'm looking for something else.
I'm going to tell you what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for my fucking ETH wallet to give away some ETH.
It's not from a multi-sig.
All you had to do was repost the room, like it, and drop your daddy below.
If you dropped it in the alpha chat, you get bonus points.
Shanice, how do you know if I dropped it in the alpha chat?
Because I'm in every one.
I'm in every single one, whether you think I am or not.
This profile, my alt that none of you will ever find.
Anyway, so at the end of the day, we all agree that you either become a consumer or, or you become a consumer and you know you become a consumer and you don't bitch and moan and complain about things.
However, do I think that certain things shouldn't launch?
I don't, I don't, like, first of all, I'm not to say who should launch and who should not launch anything in this space.
But as everybody stated here today, nobody promises you anything.
If nobody, there's a justification, right?
This is the problem with, like, influencers doing this.
This is what Ben Darit started.
Is it his fault this continued?
No, but he started this meta of, like, let's fuck with your brain and justify why we're going to rug you and tell you we're going to rug you.
And then there's things like Nakamigos or MFers where, like, it was genuinely anonymous and it was genuinely nothing to expect.
And then people just created, like, there was, like, a community created out of it.
A lot of people are trying to do shit like that and they fucking can't figure it out because they just suck.
I mean, this is a tough market to navigate.
So I don't blame people that get sucked into stuff.
Like, I know how hard it is.
So it's a lot easier for me than it is a lot of people.
So I understand your pain.
The biggest thing that I think a lot of people just got to look at, you know, and understand what you're getting into.
Again, if you're buying a shit coin or you're buying some kind of shit NFT coin, we'll call it a shit NFT coin because people are used to the word coin after shit.
At the end of the day, those are not projects.
Those are gambles, right?
You're like, all right, did I get an A?
Like, that's what you're doing with these, especially in an illiquid market.
I would say very similar things if you're investing in people that are telling you they're going to flat out rug you.
Like, these people are literally telling you, like, hey, this thing doesn't do anything.
I remember people talking about certain coins, and we'll talk about it, that had a multi-sig, that basically stated, what is the use case of the project?
And they said, there isn't one.
And people were still buying.
Like, again, this goes back to people wanting an out, but that's not the right way.
Like, the only way to get an out in reality is be patient.
People hear about people making 100x, 1,000x, so on and so forth.
The people that are doing that are patient people.
They're not people who bought a month ago, and they made 1,000x, 2,000x.
A lot of these people that you're hearing that made it, like, we can go with Dogecoin Millionaire.
Those people were buying for years, right?
They were buying and hoped for years through the same thing, and eventually blew up.
Like, these are not people that bought, you know, an illiquid coin or an illiquid NFT project and expected it to go up in a month or two because they need to pay the rent.
Like, if you're playing with that type of money, you shouldn't be at all.
If you're putting it in here, you should be – pay your rent, right?
Like, don't – like, crypto's not going anywhere.
No, pay your rent is different.
But, yeah, like, I don't know.
Like, I'm just trying to drop some knowledge on you guys.
I know we like to discuss a lot of the dev side and everything.
I think the dev's important.
Like, the dev side's important.
I think, you know, these projects are important.
They're important in the fact that they're helping build out the space, and we're trying to navigate an area that really has never been navigated before.
So, we're trying to find that value in this area, and everybody's trying to do it.
I have a path in my head.
I think there is a path to do that.
You know, when I see that project do that, I'll be an investor, but I haven't seen it yet.
But I think some are trying.
But, yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people, they just love to speculate in this space.
They think that's investing versus consuming.
Like, what are your thoughts on that, Propos?
No, I was just going to literally pivot, and, you know, I think it's official.
I think we should address the elephant in the room.
You got finessed to get into a frat club.
You got finessed to get into a frat club.
Bad Brothers, stay on mute.
That's why you don't have a fucking D-God as your PFP.
You have his arch-nemesis enemy.
Which ZK built D-God, let's be honest.
Lots of get crazy added right now.
But, yeah, let's get into it.
Captain Dadpants will never come up here.
I think he thinks his listeners are going to follow him here, but he will drop his Twitter
post under the spaces, which is fine.
I'm going to pin it to the top.
Hopefully, he gets some engagement.
But, no, it was funny as fuck.
So, this pitch show is coming out.
Rhino knows what I'm talking about.
I think this pitch fucking show is going to be cool.
The people are part of it?
Why the fuck would I ask Mario Nafal for fucking money for my fucking idea, knowing he scammed
Like, what the fuck logic is that?
Everybody else on that panel?
The only person I have any respect for is Wendy.
And that's just because that's just – I've seen her before.
She collected with all these fucking nincompoops.
And I have a soft pace in my heart for her.
And she's also a woman in fucking crypto.
Anyway, what do you want, bad brothers?
I mean, I first saw her like early 2020, and she was doing – on YouTube, doing her trading
So, seeing her come up, it's been great.
But, yeah, what are you going on?
What are you talking about?
Like, ZK, we had like – he still says he loves E-Gods and Frank and everything.
I mean, it's definitely two totally different directions in terms of project idea and where
I mean, when you think about it, ZK's posts are literally subconsciously shitting on
E-Gods because he says NFC shouldn't have utility.
No, I mean, I think it is – I mean, more general.
Art shouldn't be changed.
The metadata shouldn't be changed on the blockchain.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, D-Gods definitely applies.
Like, and, you know, he hasn't been afraid to when, like, he put out those little videos
and, like, put, like, Yugo or, like, D-Gods in it, like, down the fucking 300 thing.
He's not afraid to do that.
But, yeah, I mean, I don't think he has any ill will towards, you know, D-Gods or Frank
Well, listen, you're – I love – this is why I love you because you just listen to
the unimportant part of the conversation.
I was fucking around about that.
Now, yeah, I figured that halfway through.
Do you feel finessed by D-Gods?
Do you feel finessed by D-Gods?
I mean, what do you call it?
At the end of the day, it was kind of like –
Anybody out there fear of finesse, please request.
I want to talk to people that feel finessed like I do.
Do you feel finessed because they called you a consumer and said you're not an investor?
Now you're triggering me.
Now you're triggering me.
Are you gaslighting me right now?
Bad Brothers, what is your take?
At this point in time, they had dropped the ball.
Just like pretty much every other motherfucker that overhyped you and sold you a dream.
So how did they come back from this?
I mean, what do you call it?
I'll totally admit that they dropped the ball like with season three.
And, I mean, the one thing I'll give them is, hey, they delivered something.
Maybe we don't like it and everything.
But it was like it was something.
But at the end of the day, yeah, I mean, it's not what people expected.
I mean, because this was something –
Like the points parlor is something more I expected out of points.
But then the problem was I feel like it was around maybe the end of June or whatever
when the first delay came out.
It was like then he really started overhyping it.
So me, I had my head in like something like this.
And then it was like, oh, okay.
You said it's going to break the internet and change everything.
So, like, it's probably something really amazing.
So, I mean, I think that was the biggest fail on that front.
But, yeah, I mean, how do they come back from it?
Especially in this market, I just don't know because it seems like, you know,
you can't do anything to win in this space in terms of putting something out
Now, you could say everything projects put out is bad.
But, I mean, still, at the end of the day, like, I'm not 100% sure what they're going to do from here
I mean, you know, at some point, I think you really just got to focus on the bread and butter,
which has always been the live events and that type of thing.
The fuck I got to spend $27,000 for that type?
The bread and butter, bro.
I can't believe it's not butter or is it some cheap-ass butter?
My grandma always used to have that shit.
David doesn't like that butter.
Yeah, so my opinion is just, like, I'm going to have two points to it.
I think there's a lot of founders that spend too much time in the space or not in the space,
but regardless, they're bailing out products that the community is not asking for,
and then they come to, like, whatever it is, and people are like, what the fuck is going on?
And they're just like, wait, I thought this is what you wanted, but clearly it's not what they wanted.
But on the other standpoint, because I try to understand both parties, the other side of it is that we're asking for too much,
and the expectations are so high.
Like, let's be realistic.
I feel like all this was meant to happen at some point.
The crumble effect was going to go all the way down, and I feel like we're going to revisit this shit in a year
and then start talking about the progression.
But at this point, you're right.
Everything's going to go down, but it goes to two points, you know?
Founders building shit that the community does not want and they think they do,
and the other aspect of it is community asking for things that are unrealistic, you know?
I love having you up here, man.
I was going to say to that, that's a really good point because it's like, first, it's like,
oh, no, we're not listening to our holders.
Like, not that they say that, right?
They just execute, oh, we got the best plan.
Then they fuck up, and this is not just D-Gods.
But then they fuck up, and then it's like, hey, community, what do you want?
And then it's like, wow, we can't deliver what they really, really want.
Let me act like I'm going to deliver.
So double-edged sword, and this goes back to the business before NFT conversation,
business before NFT project, rather.
Don't go to market because you know you can, and you have a following, and you have people
that will buy or consume whatever you, you know, whatever.
That's why I'm bullish on Front Tech.
Yo, I bet you money so many founders and people that launch shit are kicking themselves in the
face right now after something like Front Tech is coming out.
Because they could have just let shit innovate and then capitalize on their following in that
one way without thinking they had to launch a shitty-ass project, and now they're fucking
No one's going to say it.
Will, go ahead, and then Rhino.
No, I wanted to kind of lean into that a little bit with the whole thing.
You want to back that ass up into it?
I don't know about that, but you know, like, no, I'm just joking.
No, like, a lot of these, man, man, I have so much to say, so little time.
A lot of these NFT projects, man, like, I don't know.
I wanted to throw out something a little bit, might ruffle some feathers a little bit.
Does anybody consider that the NFT market might be a little bit diluted?
Oof, you're pissing everyone off with that one.
I mean, it's just a question.
And only, like, 30 of us here.
Remember back in the day when your mom didn't want you to have all that sugar?
When she didn't want you to have all that sugar, she put some water in the Kool-Aid?
It's very diluted, William.
Like, you got the red color, but you don't have the flavor, right?
But, yeah, so we have to consider that, too, when we're talking about liquidity flowing
Like, if somebody drives a two-week project, and I think it's going to be a successful
project, I'll probably buy it at 0.1, right?
Like, that's just what it is.
While somebody else buys it at 2, expecting it to pump.
Like, that's where the market is right now.
Like, I don't care how successful it is.
Like, you can come out and say, hey, we're partnering with Disney.
We're going to work with the U.S. government, yada, yada, yada.
And you'll pump for probably, like, a week, and then you're going to dump right well below
Like, and I get it from the side of, if you're a team member or you're working on a project,
But here's the kicker, right?
I think that if you're looking to get into these projects, if you're building projects,
if you're building into the bull and you're not launching in the bear, I think you'll be
That's just, you know, my hot take on that whole conversation.
Rhino, you got the floor.
I am going to add to that.
I'm either going to say something that's going to sound good or somebody isn't going to be
I always speak about the maturity of a business.
And as far as I'm concerned, without product market fit, you're just a fun basement project
and you're not a business.
And I feel like what we're now uncovering, because it was all, you know, unicorns and
rainbows during the last bull run, but it surely ain't that right now.
And what we're starting to see right now is what project, and I say that as singular because
I'm going to say that we have probably less than five projects, actually deliver some form
of product market fit or some kind of true value.
Forget about the investment side, but true value, which may be in an experience or a physical
good or something tangible.
And I think what we, like this whole conversation just feels like this, is you look at a project,
something that you either want to be a part of, whether it's the community or in this case,
owns some kind of cartoon character graphic, and you want to drive some value out of that
or you want to receive some value in return from that.
Rhino, real quick to add to what you're saying.
Imagine if Frank came out and said, hey, one of our 10,000 holders is going to get a Rolex.
One is going to get, you know, this Louis Vuitton bag.
But instead he came out and said, one of our holders is going to get a Happy Meal, one's
going to get a free Coke, and then one of you will win a 12-pack.
What are your thoughts on that?
Wait, that's what he said that you get, though.
Yeah, you got the Happy Meal.
You got like one of those, what are those egg things that you get?
And then you, like the chocolate eggs, and you open it up and there's a little toy that
you get to play with it in there.
I can't remember what those things are called.
Hey, hey, someone did win a Tesla, right?
It wasn't the Plaid, John.
It wasn't the Plaid, John.
But, I mean, it was a Tesla, though, so that's still cool.
Anyway, that was kind of my take.
I was going to add to this one piece that I guess is a little bit of slight alpha from
the business side is that when looking at these projects, whether it's the NFT projects
or whatever else, there's usually four key metrics that we try to look at, and that's
the team, which I spoke about earlier.
It's almost impossible to find that information about the team.
Like, you know, can they fundraise or whatever else?
And then, of course, how are they going to drive any value or traction behind this?
So, it's the Wild West out there still.
Y'all need to tap in with Rhino.
He's definitely building in the space.
I'm a little sick, so am I bad if my throat all cuts out and shit?
But, no, I love the point that Rhino brought up and a bunch of people touched on.
It's like, there's a lot of shit where if you just look at it from face value, like, it's
not a fucking project or remotely a business.
And, like, a lot of the things in Web3, like, in even layman's terms, they don't offer a
single thing outside of maybe, like, a dopamine exchange or a little bit of a social currency
But, like, bro, don't tell me you've gotten anything out of your NFT that you couldn't
have done yourself or with, like, a completely other IP or completely different team behind
it or, like, none of that shit actually fucking matters.
And I feel like we get so lost in this value exchange of, like, my getting something out
of it because the space uses these buzzwords to make us feel smart.
Like, yo, no disrespect, we're all a bunch of fucking morons.
And, like, we just get so hyped on ourselves that we fall for this shit of them being like,
yeah, generational this, fucking blockchain tech that.
I just, like, it's, I see everyone trying to find the best value they can.
But, like, there's no value being offered in Web3 outside of what you can extract from
And I think that's the biggest problem we run into is, like, we're asking opinions and,
you know, options and questions to people that don't know how to do anything with their
life in Web3 or outside of Web3.
So, it's, there's really fucking nothing being brought to the table here by any of these projects.
I wouldn't consider them projects.
I wouldn't consider them businesses.
I think most NFT-related bullshit is just that.
It's NFT-related bullshit.
And people just need to stop buying into it for that.
Like, like I said, you can do so much shit.
Everyone in Web3 right now would be exactly where they were if they never bought an NFT.
Like, all of the utility and value comes from you guys and what you put out there.
But I fucking love this space.
It's a really good conversation.
Profits, I appreciate you having me up.
Shout out to Cheddar and all the other homies in here.
I would say, like, I think you're, like, 80% to 90% right.
I mean, but you would agree that, like, you know, something like Pudgy, right?
Like, that now, you could consider a business.
I just wanted to make that.
Them motherfucking toys is flipping.
I got the dun-dun-dun-dun.
You got the dun-dun-dun-dun.
I'm at Disney, so I only came up here to say I love you guys.
Shout out, Scott and Profits.
And I wanted to say, who's active right now?
Definitely not the network and the three crooketeers.
By the way, I changed the name, guys.
It's the three crooketeers.
I'm active at Disneyland.
Yo, crooketeers is crazy as fuck.
Yo, David, have a good one.
I haven't been to Disney in ages.
Web3 Junkie, you got the floor.
Just want to jump in real quick.
FDX is permitted to liquidate 3.4 billion of crypto assets.
Well, it's headline news pretty much across lots of the news agencies right now.
And it's not, yeah, it's pretty bad because you know the story, you know the vibes with
FDX, and it's, yeah, he's going to sell all that crypto that he had.
And it's not, and it's...
Man, they're not giving none of it back to nobody either.
They're just going to sell it all.
Binance CEO also stepped down.
We never talked about that, Will.
Why didn't you talk about that?
Is that not relevant information?
Yeah, so like the CEO, like a lot of people are taking this as like, oh, he's scared.
A lot of other major roles also stepped down before that as well, which I don't know if
that means anything technically.
Honestly, I think they're restructuring, and I think that a lot of this has to do with
Binance US, because I think a lot of that was what was being, you know, looked at by
I wanted to touch on, and so I don't see it as anything significant.
I actually had the CEO, I posted his stuff, but he basically stated, you know, hey, there's
no issues with Binance, yada, yada, and the reason Binance isn't going to fall over
is because they pretty much control the entire Asian market and that whole side of the world
when it comes to liquidity.
They had the majority share, basically, is what he's stating.
He's like, they're like 80, 90% of the market on that side.
That makes me feel uncomfortable.
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is when it comes to that, but I mean, CZ's been in the market
A lot of people just anticipate some kind of downfall for some random-ass reason.
Like, he's had enough time to build enough liquidity where he can stabilize any type of
move I would say the market's going to make against him.
I'm sure he capitalized very heavily at the top.
And then on top of that, too, I want to throw out there with the FTX thing.
And yes, there is an unlock coming.
And yes, they got approval for the unlock.
But all the Solana, I mean, March 30th is a dump, I think 30% or something like that.
But most of that's locked for like five years.
They'll have to OTC it at losses to be able to pay back investors.
And that's the whole point of selling this.
The whole point of selling it is to pay back investors.
So investors will get paid back probably through some kind of class action lawsuit, yada, yada.
They got to liquidate everything first, consolidate all the money, and then be like, all right,
this, we were able to recover 60% or 70% of the money.
This is how much will get distributed.
Obviously, it'll tear down.
We talked about that before, too.
I posted a thing on the tier system.
But, you know, you got accredited investors and so on and so forth, which are top of the tier.
And then, like, whatever's left up for basically your Normies get.
When I say Normies, I mean us.
But outside of that, like, a lot of the Sol can't be dumped on the open market.
So it's not anything detrimental, I would say, to Sol specifically.
But there will be some downturn on the whole point market, I would say, in some sectors based on what they hold.
The silver lining in this is like, you know, it's locked for five years.
What other asset or anything like that could ever do that, right?
I mean, that a judge couldn't somehow break through if the law allowed?
I mean, they physically cannot do anything.
Yeah, they can't stop the unlock.
The unlock, it's in place.
There's nothing they can do to unlock that money.
So, yeah, like I said, if they won out quickly, they're going to OTC at losses.
If not, then you're going to be waiting at least five years to recover the rest of the money on the Solana side.
Listen, let me ask you a question about Solana, Mr. William, before we go to B-Skeet.
Skeet, skeet, skeet, skeet, skeet.
What is this whole situation with like the way Solana's run as like as an entity?
How do you, what's your take on that from a higher business technical standpoint?
Because I love what people are trying to do on it.
It's just, I don't like how it's so MLM-y to me.
I don't know how else to explain it.
Solana to me is like the corporate baby, right?
Retail, it's not necessarily for us.
And I would say even on the investment side, I mean, the fact that they were able to lock in FTX into a five-year deal and none of the other cryptos they held were able to do that.
Like that says a lot, right?
Like FTX saw the potential in them.
And I think that's what a lot of people don't realize is that everybody sees the potential in Solana except for retail.
And, you know, you usually see it last.
So that should be kind of your signal on like how you should feel about it.
I'm not saying go buy a bunch of Solana because I think it goes much lower in price.
But like I do think institutions are very interested, just like they were in Ethereum, right?
Like everybody in, I don't know if everyone was in 2019, but everybody thought Ethereum was done.
They thought it was cooked.
And Ethereum became an institutional baby and every institution loves it now.
And I think Solana will be probably the institutional baby of the next cycle.
Yes, it is very centralized.
That's what institutions like.
So the more control the chain has, the more they like it.
Because they can stop transactions.
There's all kinds of things they can do with that.
I guess you're saying Solana is the corporate.
Would you say the corporate baby?
And their hands off, motherfuckers.
Once I learned that, that hurt my heart.
I was wondering why Raj had followed us, bro.
I was like, man, what did we do?
You want to be like Ethereum.
But it's a whole different way, bro.
Like, your users are different.
Like, everything's different about it.
Like, Will just said everything Will said is different as well.
So I get, like, you want to be like, yeah, we're going to be hands off with the marketing.
But, man, like, look what, like, I don't know.
I just think if they were a little bit more hands on, I don't know.
I think it would play out better for them.
I mean, am I the master that knows everything?
But I feel like they have too many people that are outgoing, outspoken, you know, good people on that chain.
And it just doesn't fucking matter.
Like, they can't even sell their phone or keep their top three projects, you know, happy on the chain.
And so it just, I don't know what, I just wish, I guess I knew the direction, but I don't know what they're doing.
I don't know what they're doing on the marketing side.
Like, how do you battle, how do you battle base?
How do you battle all these other chains that, you know, have a lot more plug, kind of same, kind of centralized type format?
I guess we'll see who wins this battle.
But Solana's that went from my first favorite of those types to, like, my third or fourth now.
I was just going to say, like, they just had that Visa deal a couple weeks ago.
So it's just like, what do you call it?
I mean, at the end of the day, I don't think it needs to really be one.
And I think the fact that, you know, Solana is a layer one.
Like, you know, from big company standpoints, like when you think about, like, ERPs and things like that, that they use, like, you know, there's so many different things that could be little nuances that just make sense for that company, right?
So the way Solana, you know, is built like that, like, I still think they could be, you know, very successful.
Even if, you know, Ease or Polygon is at the same time.
So, yeah, I think I'm bullish on Solana.
You think if Frenzac was on Solana, it would be moving as quick?
Let's clear the air in the room.
OP is a stack that base is utilizing.
So if you're bullish on base, you're bullish on OP.
Outside of that, you know, the rest is what it is.
Why would they launch on Solana?
They should have launched on Solana.
Dude, that's a good-ass fucking, like, not even shit-talking.
Like, ain't nobody would have fucking touched me, bro.
Like, I ain't even hating it.
You know I love Solana, but that's just a good-ass...
So you think nobody would have touched me?
No, I think the Solana, you know, the homies, like, the ones that, you know, all the DJing
homies were the fuck we did for sure, but for it to take off like this...
Most people didn't run to it right away because it was on a different chain.
Remember me and you sent E to the fucking wrong chain like an idiot?
I didn't know, like, when you send it back, it's different.
You ain't got to do all that.
It just automatically goes, like, to your coinbase.
Like, I was calling Alex Trippin' like, bro, what the fuck?
And, no, it just goes in your regular fucking balance.
So if anyone fucking trips out, yeah, it's just in your regular shit.
Base shut down last week, but nobody talks about it.
So it will be 2-5 next bull.
Like, okay, I'm never fading any price ever, ever, ever.
I like talking about tech.
I'm not like every other bozo that doesn't understand crypto.
They just learned how to wash their ass yesterday.
They just learned what it means to fucking long and short things
and talk about their fucking know how to trade.
I got sold at, like, $10 and sold it at, like, $200.
I am not bullish on things not executing.
Sol's been around forever.
Why did BASE come out of nowhere and something cool come out?
And then now it's being used.
Am I asking a weird question?
Look at that rollout for BASE, though.
It was super well-funded, super well-backed.
Like, they're not messing around.
They've got big funding coming for it.
And they picked Optimism because it was shiny and new.
I kind of see it the opposite way.
They saw that Sol was being faded.
They saw Optimism was coming up, so they went that way.
But that's just what I think.
I want to jump back in the conversation a minute real quick, and I'll be fast.
But for me personally, what I was tripping on is the amount of projects I aped into like an idiot
and bought into on dreams and thoughts and thinking they were going to do things.
And then when shit started to fall apart, I looked back on what I had participated in
and saw that actually the founders told us the whole time what was going on.
They just also allowed us to imprint our hopes and our dreams and our fantasies
and our speculation onto their project.
But when I look back on what actually happened, most of the time they actually were telling us
They were just also allowing us to dream, and we went with the dream side of things.
And that's kind of the lesson I learned about it is when these people tell you what's going on,
listen to it, break it down, and then don't try to expand on it.
Just try to focus on that.
That's all I wanted to say.
Now, B-Ski real quick on that point.
I mean, yeah, I mean, you do have the people who slow rug and like say they're doing things
and don't do things, but I mean, even to a lesser extent to what you were saying,
like D-Gods, right, where I was thinking, you know, something like Points Parlor
before it was like hyped up, right?
And then like when you go into spaces, people like come up with the craziest ideas
or like suggestions, and then they'll be like, oh, these could be implemented
in like five minutes, right?
They could just, you know, do things.
Hey, bad brothers, can we start telling the truth?
Points Parlor was made by Dented Fields over a year ago, bro.
This is what I hate about this.
This is what I hate about this space.
Yeah, Dented Fields had pack opening, physical packs, prizes, points,
a way to not dilute the collection by putting your Dented Fields to sleep
with the traits that you got in the pack.
You could also get other things with the points.
But I think there was two other projects that did the same.
You know, it's just like when Captain said they were the first generative project
to be able to switch your male or female on chain, that was Cap.
We made them apologize, you know, for that particular project
I was working on at that time.
That's the thing about this space.
It's whoever makes the hoorah, hoorah, the loudest, you know, gets the eyes
when some of this shit that was like drum roll for a month or two months,
the shit was already out.
Like, where's the love to Dented, Charles, Paulo, and everyone
for dropping this over a year ago?
Like, without diluting, you know what I mean?
Straight up, put your shit to bed.
I thought it was a good idea, but you know what I mean?
It wasn't the big influencers.
Denton's a very quiet kid.
You know, he's not your, you know, he's an introverted kind of guy,
so he's not hoorah, hoorah, you know, on the timeline.
It's just whoever, it's just like how I'm telling you guys
how the blockchains are working out.
People would rather go with a better marketed chain, like Bass, you know,
who had cut, like B-Ski, B-Ski said, you know,
the dope-ass people they fuck with, Coca-Cola.
Like, bro, they came to fucking, they didn't come to fucking around,
they came to Thanos shit.
Like, and for me as well, I'd rather go with a more marketed,
As much as that sucks, and I see my own people get fucked over,
that's where we're at in the space.
If you do choose the other, man, good luck.
It's going to be a real fucking struggle,
and until things come out where we can automatically dilute the collection
with a mechanic, you know, later on or down the line,
I'm not going to show who I think that'll be yet,
but Zero even touched on it yesterday about the holding 25%.
Like, this is all going to be the future of this.
For you speculator, trader, floor watchers,
that it's going to be the future where you're going to have to hold amount of money,
or you're going to have to freeze amount of money,
or motherfuckers ain't going to fuck with your shit.
You can say, yeah, now, wait till the next bull run,
there's going to be a bunch of new idiots at the door.
I don't know, there might be a couple,
but I think a lot of motherfuckers are going to be a little bit more smarter
than what we think, you know what I mean?
I think there'll be new money.
I'm not saying that, I'm not stupid, but they'll have Will.
They'll be here, people that never left, putting them on game as well, too.
So you're going to have some that slip through the cracks,
but I don't think everybody's just going to be a dumb fuck and just repeat,
So it's going to be like what Will said.
You got to catch, you know, it's going to look like Nye's falling.
Some of them are going to be cool,
but some of them are fucking, are going to be long gone,
and they're already long gone now because, like, B-Ski,
was that you, or Bad Brothers, that we don't listen to them.
And remember a year ago, guys, when we used to call things slow rugs,
your favorite influencer said there was no such thing?
Where are they at now, man?
Try to dunk on all of us who said what a slow rug is,
and they try to say the word doesn't exist.
It's just another way to FUD the project.
Rhino, what's up, brother?
Scott, my Bay Area brother.
Bino, I'm waiting for you.
I actually want to add a couple of things and ask a couple of things related to what you just said.
So, particularly around the marketing of a chain.
So, because I see this all the time.
A lot of people will say and agree with you that they would rather build on the most marketed chain
or the one that, for some reason, because of marketing, are like the household name.
But what I think a lot of people forget is that even if you market it well, like what you said,
if Solana blew it out the park with their marketing initiatives,
they really, you know, hooked the people into, yeah, Solana, Solana, Solana,
then maybe people would have launched, oh, they would have launched Frentech on there.
What it doesn't take away from is what's happening in the back end of the business.
So, we'll even mention this about Solana being heavily centralized, not decentralized.
I mean, how do you, and this is a genuine question,
how do you then turn around your marketing initiative or your marketing spin
knowing that for the better part of the last, let's call it 18 months,
Solana was down every other month or, you know, they had outages and whatever else,
which should never happen in the concept of blockchain in a decentralized world.
So, what's your take on that kind of perspective where even similar to a lot of the polygon announcements
that we hear about constantly, in fact, Will and I spoke about this a couple weeks back,
where you have all this amazing marketing, Polygon's like your household brand,
but Polygon also burned through a quarter of a billion dollars last year
and had to lay off a mass amount of their team.
So, yeah, I guess with that in mind, how would you take that spin, the marketing spin?
Well, battery's running out again on his headbutt.
So, that also woke me up, too.
You know, just to speak on the other side,
y'all know, I look up to Ryan White that's like a dude I like.
You know, I admire what he's accomplished, not only at YouTube,
but obviously what he did at Polygon.
So, the first alarm for me was when he left, right?
What else could Ryan have done?
But then the other argument is what you said, Rhino.
Look what Ryan did, and y'all motherfuckers still can't get shit, like, fully.
So, then it makes me go, damn, you could have Ryan White also.
So, which one, like, you know, like, I agree, right?
I don't know which one is right.
Like, even though I would like to go, like, with the next Ryan, you know,
when Ryan comes back in quarter four, I would love to, whatever he's doing,
well, you know, fuck with him, whatever he's doing in there.
But I don't know, like, you know, if Ryan did all that for Polygon,
I don't know what else he could have done.
But, Will, you back, brother?
I think, like, if you are marketing right now instead of building,
Like, and I think this is the approach a lot of these companies are taking.
You're seeing Google do the same thing.
You're seeing Microsoft do the same thing.
None of these companies are marketing right now because the market has no
So, they're not getting enough liquidity to pay for marketing.
And so, they're like, okay, we can either keep our team or we can market
ourselves into the ground.
So, they're choosing to pay their developers to continue to develop so that
way they're able to afford to keep their developers, I think, in most cases
because these companies aren't as liquid as people think they are, right?
So, they're just trying to keep the people they have without, you know,
taking away the value of those people at the same time.
I think that's something very important to look at.
And the companies that are advertising right now, they're really running out of
They're screwing themselves.
Again, I think you should be building through the bear and marketing through the
But that's just my thoughts.
I think you're spot on, Will.
I'm glad you answered it in that manner because those projects that are investing
in their devs, actually investing in building the tech and building viable products, will
come out on top at the end of it.
They can market it whenever.
When people start actually entering the space, they can start marketing again.
And just to touch on the, what were you talking about, base, you know, the reason, this is
my take, the reason why they were so successful in their launch and why they will continue to
Remember, they have access to 100 million users from Coinbase.
Like, it's a no-brainer to be able to onboard and use people.
And they took a great bet forking optimism.
I thought that was actually a really, really smart decision that they made from a tech
perspective and staying in the ecosystem.
Zero has officially arrived.
I mean, some people got paid 50 cents or whatever from Elon and everyone's hype.
Oh, I can hold a whole space.
I don't know if I should be upset.
That means that I suck at engagement or I should be happy because I didn't put as much
effort and I still got paid a similar amount.
I don't know what to say.
Like, showing off how much you made is almost like giving away that you don't care about your
It is a very dangerous ladder where, like, people are promising all these things.
But the facts of the matter are is that the ad revenue of X is down 60%.
And now Elon's fighting the ADL directly.
Just imagine if you're a company advertising on X and your employees get together and they're
like, hey, now pull that back because they're fighting the ADL like Elon's fighting the ADL.
But the ad spend can go lower.
Like, and I think he might be doing this on purpose.
So, like, to make his court case against him, he might say, like, hey, look, it's actually
You know, like, he just really wants to prove a point.
So, what I'm trying to say is set your expectations to a reality of data.
And this is not a platform to really get rich on.
It's more to make good quality connections.
And that's why I do encourage people to go on spaces and talk nicely with people and build
relationships and stuff, right?
It can be very valuable to you.
There's probably a whole bunch of people in the audience that just have never spoken.
You know, like, you know, go up on stage, repost it so your buddies can see that you're
here and then just talk about something and it can really help you.
So, that's much better use of your time than to try to earn money.
I don't know what you're earning, like, one penny per post, you know, type of thing.
It's not going to be effective for you long term.
Like, there are people who will, who benefit from telling you that you're going to be rich
If they're selling you something, their get rich scheme, like, they need you to believe
that you're going to get rich on X, right?
For you to buy their get rich scheme.
But that's already existed before in other industries and platforms.
There's always, I was making fun of this earlier today was like, you know, those, those, like,
the bros that sell the three hour work weeks, they only work three hours a week because
So, what are they teaching you in this program?
Like, how does that work?
Like, so, so the only way that you can work three hours a week and become rich is if you
take their program and resell it yourself and then tell other people that they can work
Eventually, this doesn't pan out.
Everybody in the world can't be paying each other for the three hour work week course and
You know, it doesn't make sense.
So, anyways, think about what you're doing and where you're spending your time and making
Like, you could be listening to spaces and absorbing the training in alpha and then, like,
Like, typically, I try to do a workout or something and that's very effective for you.
Or you can be reading and doing things, but you can listen in the background.
And I do encourage you to make this a habit and a cadence to listen in on the space, even
if it's just a recording after or whatever, because you want to keep a pulse in the market
for when the upswing comes.
Because the upswing and the roar back could happen any time in the next one to three years
and it would just be wild and you'd be caught off guard.
And the only people that are going to really, like, understand how it works are the ones
that kind of stuck to their, you know, willpower of, like, staying in and just keeping a pulse
And, you know, you want to be the person.
So, we talk all about NFTs.
You know where, like, the people made real bank is before the NFTs spiked was, like, in the
So, like, Axie, Illuvium.
There's a bunch of other coins as well, like, game coins that they went wild in 2021.
You wouldn't have known and you wouldn't be participating in that unless you were, like,
attending a really good Discord or you were part of a group of people who were just, like,
So, I do appreciate, Will, when you do, like, the market update and stuff.
It's, like, even if it's, like, the same every day for 90 days because we're in a choppy
market or it's a bear market, you need to, you miss the one day when there was, like,
the alpha and then you're out of the game.
Like, you've got to keep that pulse.
Check the prices of everything.
Get a feeling and then you can log out, you know, or do whatever you're doing or just keep
Anyways, yeah, that's why I pop by and I do appreciate the space for existing because,
you know, other spaces might be, like, drama the whole space and that's fine when you're
bored, but you've got to keep a pulse on what's going on.
You know, stick to reality.
Like, ultimately, you have to have a career and you have to pay your bills and everything
and we have to understand markets.
And this isn't about being all about money.
It's, like, it's just flat out insane to not understand stocks and then speculate of goods.
It's, that's just, like, that's just, what are you doing?
I mean, it's, like, if you're not focusing on that stuff, you're probably going down a
route that's, like, very dangerous for you.
And that's where a lot of grifters go.
When the grifters find out that they can't understand investments and speculative goods
and, like, building a career set, they go and grift and they focus on drama, you know,
malicious intent or, like, you know, or manipulation and stuff.
And that's a whole other corner.
I just stay away from that.
Just become good at something and spend a lot of time with, to it and don't quit.
That's what you should do.
But I like that, Will, that you talked about marketing and stuff.
But I'll be quiet for a moment and I'll talk about marketing later.
Oh, Zero could talk about whatever he wants.
Zero's always cooking, bro.
I ain't even got to co-sign Zero ever, man.
He top, top ten legend already.
But yeah, man, like, what was Zero said, yo?
Like, I'll use my damn 6L, for example.
I never edited a video in my motherfucking life.
Now, my favorite artist and photographer reached out to me because he saw my shit inspired by,
that was inspired by his art.
Literally all in 21 days, y'all, I taught myself AI and now certified all this shit with what?
Profits, what we doing, like an hour or two a day?
That's all I was thinking out of my time.
Still got time for the kids.
Still got time to do Web3 Exposed.
Still got time to take every call me, Profits, and Will got to take.
So, man, there's no excuse right now.
And Tetra yesterday, it's good to be back because y'all know my spirit went to heaven when Tetra came up.
Like, yo, he put everybody on fucking notice, bruh.
He literally just showed you nobody uses none of the open APIs, none of this fucking stuff that you can build off of.
The fucking lenses for Snapchat and, you know, and the other stuff.
Like, they're just showing you that, you know, that you can just free shit out there.
Yeah, I got my $34 check from Elon.
So, you know, start attending my spaces, how to monetize your X account, and then buy the course in my bio, and you too can earn $34.
No, I don't even have that shit set up.
But, yeah, to the, what do you call, the business, I mean, the blockchain stuff we were talking about a little bit earlier.
I really like this thread that Profit posted from Scott, where it's just, like, this is a lot of stuff we don't talk about.
Like, I used to work at EY, which is one of the big four accounting firms.
And, you know, oh, dropped my phone.
I still follow, like, a lot of people from there and stuff.
And, like, I see posts from, like, their blockchain division, like, all the time of stuff they're building.
And, like, that's all business-to-business-facing type of stuff, right?
So, you know, I think there's a lot of opportunities for that on, like, Solana and things like that.
So, I mean, just to say that, you know, we mostly focus on these, you know, JPEGs and these builders with their actual, like, you know, serious shit going on that, you know, goes behind the scenes that, you know, we don't even pay attention to or aware of.
Bad Brothers, big dog shit.
That's why, like, I don't even look at, like, floors.
Like, man, unless you're, like, you know, making money up and down, like, then cool.
But, like, if you're just a builder in this motherfucker, like, and that shit really ain't your swag, like, don't even look at it.
Like, what Bad Brothers said, all this B2B behind-door shit, and I hate to say it every other day on the stage, it still goes down.
Like, none of this is stopping.
Just because you see shit bleed to a billion dollars investment, that's just because, you know, AI came and took people's lunch just for now.
But that doesn't mean it's going to keep sustaining like that.
It's going to start evening back out.
So, like, yo, man, like, all the opportunities here, I just want to say again what Tetra said.
Like, man, there's all these fucking tools for founders, creators to just build free shit.
Not the fucking founder who can't even shit their first fucking hoodie drop from two years ago.
Like, your challenge, go in that fucking Discord, like, what the fuck y'all doing?
I heard Tetra say he's doing all this shit for free.
Gigi making packages by hand.
What the fuck y'all doing?
They don't even got an NFT project.
So, man, let's start challenging some of these motherfuckers.
If you don't want to do it, hire somebody that'll go fuck with these tools, man.
Let's fucking get this AR shit going.
Let's fucking get this Watson open API with the AI shit going.
Like, what the fuck's the excuse, bro?
Like, after Tetra said that, yo, everyone, y'all are on fucking notice, bro.
I'm going to just turn to old Scott Fool and just start being a fucking troll like I am on fucking Instagram.
Yeah, and with that AR shit, like, Apple's headset is better.
Bro, your comments on people's posts get hundreds of likes.
I try to be a different person on Twitter, but I'm at the point, prophets, though, is I'm finishing the Facebook, Scott, and that's not good.
That Scott gets banned for, like, 90 days at a time and shit for being off the fucking chain.
Y'all think your favorite trolls on here are bad?
Go look at my Facebook and my fucking Instagram story.
It's the wildest shit you ever—I try to do it on threads, too, but they hate it on threads.
But we're at a point, yo, like, stop just cosigning this shit, bro.
Tetra's, like, the perfect example, bro.
Like, motherfucker doing all this shit because he wants to be creative, bro.
That's all—if you're a creator, that's all the power you should—all the drive you need.
But now you got money and people and you steal it.
Oh, man, this market, everyone's so toxic.
Bitch, get the fuck out of here, bro.
I wish I could do that with 70 million in my motherfucking wallet.
Bro, I wish I had that motherfucking problem.
If you don't want to do it, spend 75 grand, 100 grand, get you a new Tetra, another Gigi, motherfucking—and get to work and let these motherfucking holders get some cool shit for free.
You done taxed everybody to their fucking asshole.
Just like how prophets invited Gigi on stage on love.
Like, everything don't need to be a fucking vanity number or a fucking dollar amount, yo.
I'm just taking some of Zero's advice, listening to spaces at the gym.
One of the touch on some of the things that he said there was, you know, someone always told me other people's time and other people's money.
And that's like those gurus, the three-hour work weeks.
They're using other people's time and other people's money.
So that was an interesting one there, Zero.
But to touch on the blockchain stuff, I think there are lots of builders out there still trying to make up choices about which blockchain to use.
I think base at the moment is just on the tip of everyone's tongues.
But, I mean, in the dev communities, there's a lot of people who are, you know, not super sold on base.
I think to a degree that optimism is not fully decentralized.
Some of their nodes are semi or it's not a fully decentralized platform.
And that actually turns a lot of developers that I personally know away from base.
And they're still trying to figure out what chain's going to be the best for them.
But the other challenge that we do have is building products that aren't financial based.
All of the blockchains at the moment have this massive emphasis on financial products.
Now, if you build a product that isn't a financial based product, yet you have to pay for all of these transactions just to operate requests or parts of the, you know, business.
We do some, we're doing some testing with some timekeeping stuff.
And the cost to do 10,000 transactions is the same cost at a 250,000 to 500,000 transactions in a Web 2 scenario.
So there's a lot of complexities with chains at the moment.
And people, I think, are also moving to which chain's going to reduce those fees or put them aside so that they can build these products that aren't financial based products.
Bad Brothers, you're back.
Thank you for the contribution.
Yeah, to go off what Dallas said, I mean, you know, that's why Solana, like with their low transaction fees, you know, you see a lot of products on there that just couldn't be on ease because of that.
Like, World World is one of them.
Fuck, I forgot what I was going to say now.
I hit that leave button by accident.
You know, I have my hand up there and then bam, it hit it.
But, oh, yeah, the AR stuff.
You guys had Tetra on yesterday?
Oh, I got to go back and listen to that one because I love Tetra.
I was talking, he was on, like, Leap.
Dude, he cooked and he dropped Alpha here.
First, first of its kind.
Oh, yeah, that's why you got to come to Web3 Exposed every day, guys.
But, yeah, I was talking to him on, what do you call it, like, Leap Space and there was one other guy, I forget his name, who was in AR when the Apple headset was releasing and they were talking about all this crazy shit with that.
So, I'm kind of bullish on that space.
And then we just had the new iPhone, like, for pre-orders and stuff.
And that has that spatial video stuff that they were showing off with the headset.
The space is, like, moving and I'm totally bullish on Tetra.
I'm bullish on fucking fashion and I'm also bullish on swag.
Hontal down there has no swag.
I think Zero got some swag.
I feel like Zero got a little red cap, green scarf.
Hontal, I'm just kidding.
I hope you have some swag.
Zero, I want you to double down on marketing.
That was also one of the topics of the day.
Two, fuck you and your thumb.
Put that thumb in your ass.
Zero, what's the vibes on the marketing?
Going back to some of Will's points there is that I'm going to talk about three different, like, phases of marketing.
So, one, I am very disappointed in the projects that could have marketed.
So, there was a time period when things were not so bad and there just seemingly was no attempt to put outbound money to create some awareness of this technology and, like, applications of it and get products out there and field tested and get feedback.
And these were, like, very large companies that got massive funding and some mints, they did way more than anyone could imagine, you know what I mean?
It's, like, there's some mints out there, some projects that have extracted just from people and not VCs, like, $70 million, right?
And it's, like, where did any of that go?
And if you're at this phase right now, yes.
Now, much later on when the marketing would be actually, like, a waste, so to speak, and that's, like, buying brand new users when your product's not even finished or you want to save it for next year because you want to build more, that's okay.
So, I just think, like, the first scenario, the first category, when they could have marketed, they should have.
Or if somebody has a product that is pretty well built already and they want to grow a small user base but not, like, you know, hurt the bottom line of the P&L profit and loss, they should be sponsoring spaces.
They should be building up a, like, a small group of people where they can create a halo effect, meaning, like, you get feedback.
You get testing from this hardcore, smaller user base because X, the crypto side of X is smaller now.
But you can get some really good feedback from people.
You can get them involved in your product.
And I just don't see that either.
So, I don't even see, like, a small marketing, which they should be doing.
So, this is, like, Category 2 where they have built to a certain point.
And they should be spending some budget on marketing to build a small user base.
And it makes me wonder because there's been, like, $50 billion of VC money gone into founders.
That's not the extracted amount.
So, the extracted amount just from crypto Twitter is also pretty large but nowhere near $50 billion.
And I see companies, and I won't name them, but I've seen at least now several companies announce themselves shutting down.
So, I think there's also a scenario where some VCs are going to their founders and saying, like, hey, shut it down.
Give us a backup portion of the money, and we'll, like, restart you under a different company.
Or, like, you're going to keep your rep amongst the VCs.
And Will might be able to speak more to that.
But I'm seeing some, like, it looks bad to us on the outside when someone clearly has money, and then they just, like, shut down.
And it's, like, where did the money go?
So, in some cases, it's, like, some form of embezzling that we can never catch.
But in other cases, it could be the VC pressuring.
I'm wondering if you know which way it's going, Will.
Then I can talk about what we should do going forward.
Are you waving your shit?
Yeah, I just need to step out of my bed.
No, I think that that totally makes sense.
It's one of those tricky things, but I don't think it's as many as people think it is.
Like, I think that those are, like, special case scenarios.
And those are, like, your companies that are maybe ran, like, places like Bluezilla or, like, you know, we can even go to, like, Animoca Brands.
I know a lot of people don't realize that, but these companies do those type of things all the time with startups.
I watched them even do it in 2021 while the market was liquid.
Literally just shut down projects and restart them because, you know, it wasn't really what they were looking for as far as moving forward.
But, yeah, I think unless you're backed by something like that, I think most, you know, most VC investors are looking for you to continue the project and keep pushing through.
I mean, usually when you come with a plan, they expect you to execute on all levels.
And if you can't do that, you're not going to get money from them again.
So, even shutting down with funds, I mean, in some cases it could be that.
You know, VC side speculation.
I just want to put it out there.
VC side, you know, pressure.
But, you know, a lot of time I think when people do that, it's probably because they're basically rugging the project because they realize whatever their thought process was, it's not going to work out, right?
Maybe sometimes you come up with a plan, but you don't backtest it.
And I think a lot of people in this space do that.
So, it's kind of like a trading strategy.
You should always backtest your overall.
So, the justification of shutting down, knowing you're going to keep whatever funds, that shit is just, that's just a, I don't know, that's just their way of saying, yeah, I'm going to be communicated with you.
It just makes me laugh every fucking time.
Sock, welcome to the stage.
One thing about, you know, these VC deals is like part of the reason they even do what they do is because they get a certain type of stock.
I'm pretty sure it's preferred stock.
So, in the event of liquidation, you get compensated first, right?
I mean, that's part of the security of being a VC, right?
And like a VC strategy is to hit as many home runs as humanly possible, right?
It's not about, you know, getting a 2X on their money.
It's about getting a 100X on their money, right?
And this is why if you look at the VC scene, it's very top heavy.
It's, I forgot what it's called.
It's like an exponential curve or, yeah, what is it?
I forgot what those kind of industries are called.
But anyway, one thing I wanted to mention about advertising in this space and like advertising spend, ad spend, is there's not a lot of places to do it.
Like, I mean, do you want to sponsor spaces?
But, okay, if you're sponsoring spaces, when's the last time you guys have bought something as a result of a space?
When's the last time you've done something as a result of a sponsored space?
The conversion isn't very high, right?
And I think a lot of businesses, you know, I actually run a company that has advertising space, right?
And one of the problems we have is whenever we go up to people, they're just like, oh, we don't want to spend money on this right now.
Why would I spend this when we have our own stuff?
Like, we already know all the influencers.
And I think that's a common, and I don't know if I'm off topic here, so I'll wrap it up here.
No, no, you're right on point.
I think you're right on point.
Yeah, I think a lot of companies, I don't mean to mess up the flow, but a lot of companies, they don't have the marketing side.
They just have the creative side, right?
So they may have the devs and stuff, but they don't have the marketing.
And if you don't have both, you're going to have trouble.
You're going to struggle.
Yeah, and I think, especially when you're coming from a traditional Web 2 background and you're breaking into Web 3, you have the, you're generally under the idea of like, oh, I can just run a Google ad campaign.
Oh, I can just do, you know, these traditional Web 2 means.
But you quickly realize you actually can't do that because of platform guidelines, platform, you know, all of these different regulations, red tape from the government and stuff like that.
And then you start to realize, whoa, crypto, it's all about effectively guerrilla marketing, right?
Boots on the ground, getting to know people.
This is why spaces are monetizable at the end of the day.
It's because there's not a way to do Google ads.
There's not a way to do these high impression, low conversion campaigns.
And this is also, you know, what's interesting, the few things that do exist, right?
You have something like Bankless, you know, MetaMask sponsors Bankless.
They're one of the big people for stuff like that because there's just not a lot of like MetaMask can't go to market in a whole bunch of different ways.
So I think a symptom or sorry, one of the reasons you don't see a lot of ad spend is because it's a symptom of the infrastructure in Web 3, 4, stuff like that.
It's not very friendly and it's very bureaucratic.
You have to have lots of people.
You have to have community managers.
You have to have spaces hosts.
You have to have content creators, right?
It's kind of a nightmare from the Web 3 perspective.
But the cool thing about it is that or from the business perspective, but the cool thing about it is that's what makes our industry unique.
So there's a bunch of tradeoffs and the community part of what we love is also the part businesses hate.
So that's what I'll mention.
I wanted to reach into what you said there at the beginning, too, because I think a lot of people maybe didn't catch that.
But it's the same thing I brought up the other day when it was asked.
It's like, what happens in the scenario of a liquidation?
Everybody gets paid back.
I was like, no, not everybody gets paid back.
I'm like, you have a priority list.
Everybody gets paid back a certain percentage based on your priority, right?
Some get paid back nothing, depending on what can be liquidated and how much is available to go back to the holders.
And that's the scenario I was talking about when you talk about look at things like the U.S. government.
And they're like, oh, well, they can just buy things need to be regulated is because they can just liquidate it and give it back to everybody.
And everybody gets 80 percent on a dollar.
I was like, no, it doesn't work like that.
And like 80 percent of the dollar might go to your priority or your top and your accredited investors.
But your low end is probably going to get 50 cents or 40 cents or 30 cents on a dollar because they have less priority than your top end priority.
And those are important things to think about, too.
Like you will recover something from the government, but you're not going to recover it in close to your original funds when liquidations happen.
How do you guys go about sponsoring spaces?
I mean, I I've maybe been in one one space where someone's like, this space is brought to you by this or something like what does that actually look like?
I heard you guys talking about that.
Sailor, my boy, what's going on, my brother?
Yeah, so everyone's going to be a little bit different.
Obviously, I'm I'm the proponent that people should get paid, you know, their worth.
I think the don't pay creators, but let's motivate everyone to tweet for a penny each.
Like Zero says, it's like the weirdest thing ever.
Like, let's like a growth hack a penny tweet, but let's look and get mad at somebody sponsored by a protocol with a fucking VC backing or something.
But I think if you here's my thing, I've been saying this is on chain TV.
If you go by the FTC guidelines, it's like 15 sentences, man.
I mean, they're not like asking you to do all this wild ass crazy shit.
Yo, this space is sponsored by make sure that shit's at the top.
If it's if you're working for them, make sure it's not only in your bio, but you make some kind of announcement because some people think, well, oh, I'm getting paid in NFTs or I'm getting paid with a like an MOC type thing.
Like all doesn't matter what you're getting in return to FTC's guideline.
So even a fucking the big account going, we'll retweet you 10 times, bro, that dude, that's payment.
Like people think like it just has to be like, you know, a crypto exchange, like the Zelle payment that you thought nobody knew about, bro.
Like all that shit is an ad.
So right now they might not be tapping in, but I guarantee you once they rinse these, you know, impact theories and a lot of these big low hanging fruits, like Will said, they're going to go to influencers next.
So for me and profits and Will, it's easy to go to bed at night because every time we do it, if we take a big sponsorship in over like 30 days, like we're proud.
And here's the other thing.
Like I get really upset that people that do take bags in the space and then like they just run away.
Like if someone's like paying you 10 grand a month, yo, like not everyone has a VC.
Some of these people are bootstrapped, like taking it out of their 401k, their fucking savings.
Like if that's the case, yo, bro, like put that shit as your background on the computer or something.
Like if you, if you have a rough time of motivation, remember like your kids are eating because somebody's bootstrapping you five grand.
Like go, go try to find a five grand job.
Just like in any industry right now, like, like cash five grand up front a month.
So I think a lot of people, as much as we like to blame founders of projects, I also want to give love to the good ones and the ones that do bootstrap shit.
Because I've seen so many people, well, we've all seen so many of these people get fucked over, pay 25k a month for like four fucking influencers and literally got zero, like not even like impression.
Like they didn't motivate the space that they hosted for them.
They didn't grow a community for them, but they had no problem cashing that 10,000 a month.
But when they get fired, it's like, oh, fuck, this project's a piece of shit.
So, you know, I just wanted to put a balance to it, too.
But yes, I, uh, yeah, I just feel like, Saylor, if you honest with it, you ain't got nothing to worry about.
And then when, if FTC does come with the fucking four hammer, you know, in two years, you can be like, bro, running, like check all our skeletons, bro, from Paris space to everything.
You know, that shit was always, always out, out and about.
We'll use our, for ourselves for an example.
Uh, look at Paris, like Paris space got hacked that one day.
FTX asked Nick and Pio if they thought FTX was going to crash.
Like you never know in web three.
So I always try to say NFT projects are cool for sponsorships, but you have no control.
I don't want to like throw my listeners into oblivion.
Like, I'd rather do a marketplace, a protocol, some kind of tech, uh, or just highlight somebody like Gigi and Tetra yesterday.
So, um, everyone's going to be different.
You know, people are, you've got to eat.
I'm not here to fucking be the cops.
Um, everyone can make their own decisions, but as long as you go by the guidelines, um, you know, you ain't got nothing to worry about.
And it doesn't matter what people think about you by taking money.
As long as you're following the law, who gives a fuck what some dude on Twitter thinks.
I've never met you before.
Yo, what's up, everybody?
It's nice to meet you all.
It's my first time coming up here and speaking, but I did like the topic of, uh, monetizing spaces.
And I feel like for early projects, trying to get people in their Discord, grow their exit counter, overall exposure to their project, hopping in these bigger spaces could be a great way to do that.
But the problem is, is that a turnoff to other people in the spaces?
Do they want to be shilled to every 30 minutes or every single space is about a project?
But, so I don't know if somebody's got a take on that, some thoughts.
Vince, I would love to give you a response on this.
And thank you for asking.
Just because I saw your bio and I saw your profile.
I'd have never met you before.
And I love seeing fresh blood on the timeline.
Um, so to answer your question, first of all, there's a way to do everything.
And personally, the way I did it, the way also Scott did it, um, a lot of other people, uh, I think tried to do it.
And then they, they kind of like, um, they fit, what's the word I'm looking for?
They fell victim to the fast money, um, personally.
And, and I never really believed this until now being in this space, almost three years, I've been in thousands and thousands.
Thousands of hours of Twitter spaces, thousands of hours of clubhouse rooms before spaces was a thing.
And it's, it's, I think it's true.
You know, most people that have never made any real money or make, made real money, like in, in this simplicity of a way.
And I say simplicity, not because Twitter spaces is easy.
Cause it's not more like they've never, you know, worked super hard for money or they made $2,000 from a fucking Twitter space or some shit.
And they've never done that in their life anywhere.
Some scammers said, Hey, I'll give you two grand if I can go on your space and talk.
And now they're counting that shit up because it just adds up and it adds up and it adds up.
And now their space is not quality anymore.
Cause they, they hold out.
I tell Scott all the time, Hey fam, I'm not holding the brand out for no, but for nobody.
I will take the L I will probably pay rent late and it's cool because the brand will never be hold out.
So to answer your question, Vince, uh, don't take every deal.
Number one, number two, uh, always be transparent and precise on how you go about your sponsor spaces.
Um, I'll go ahead and even fucking show myself.
I recommend you listen to us when we do have a sponsor spaces so you can hear how it goes.
I think we kind of nail how well and articulate that we do it because it's very clear.
And I'm also pretty picky.
I don't really care for new mints coming.
I really, now if it's already minted or, you know, there's, it's not like you're not, your focus isn't to mint out and you have a game or something.
Then yeah, I kind of, I get that.
But to answer your question, Vince, uh, even though if it's hard, uh, I definitely recommend, first of all, have a job, have cashflow elsewhere.
Um, but when you do do sponsor spaces, maybe sprinkle them around, maybe don't do every other day or don't do every day or, or if you're going to do every day, I don't think it should be a different fucking project every damn day.
Uh, cause then it's going to be like, damn, bro, it's always doing is just shilling like a random ass, maybe sprinkle it out.
Maybe make it, um, all stretched and it kind of gives it an essence that you're not there to do that.
You're doing your thing and somebody wants to support you while you do your thing.
That's the biggest thing.
Anybody else could definitely jump into this.
You just really want to be on some, like when somebody hits profits and myself, they'd be scared.
They're like, and not like in fear.
They're like, yo, Scott, are you even doing some shit?
Like, you know, like you want to be, you want the person coming at you?
Cause I'm literally like profit said, like, this is our third year.
Like a lot of us got kids or, or seeing a 10 year vision.
So it's like, why would you want to do this?
Like your fucking, our job, a rant third year, you know, actually I was a good player to use
an example right now, but y'all get my drift, uh, third year, you know, we're all third year
Most of us, unless you're like the crypto punk OGs and the crypto kitty OGs, but everyone else
like, you know, most of us are two, three years, two, three years deep.
So like, why would you want to, and I get it.
The last thing I'm going to say, I get it.
It's not like I don't understand.
Like you look in your box and you go, Oh fuck.
If I took this all, like this is like fucking six figures, but man, how are you going to
pick up those six figures of pieces?
How are you going to deal with fucking some dude going AWOL and fucking draining the multi
SIG as the dev in a different country?
Like all this shit got nothing to do with you and how good you do your job.
So even if you execute on the highest level, shit can still happen.
But yeah, man, if you just follow the rules and regulations, motherfuckers can't say shit
to even your haters, man.
I'd love to tell you why.
I was an advisor for a fun project.
Oh, actually, first of all, Profits, Vince, Vince is a GM.
I'm glad you guys got to connect.
Um, but I, I was just an advisor.
I didn't even run the project.
I had nothing to do with it other than to advise and market it.
And I would say I did what I was supposed to do, but then the founders didn't do what
I get shredded to hell for it, dude.
Um, because I was the one marketing it, but that's where it can be tough in this space.
And I feel like you and Scott would understand because you can do your due diligence and
trying to put trust into people.
And in the end, if they burn that trust, you can get left out to dry and get left hanging,
even if you weren't the one who did anything wrong.
And you get kind of tainted with the history of, oh, well, you were connected with that
or you were connected with that.
Um, that's where I think people who are, like you said, Scott, in year three or two,
or as opposed to people who are newer to the space, um, it's really hard to navigate.
Trust is the hardest thing to build.
So the best thing you can do is what you guys are doing and just be transparent, be upfront.
Like, look, I'm marketing this because I believe in them right now.
If they fail or if they rug, that's on them.
I'm putting my trust in them.
And I think everybody needs to have more of that outlook of, look, if they're marketing,
they're not actually part of the team, that's, they can't control it.
Now, a lot of people also, where it gets tricky, they hide behind that.
They say, oh, we're just marketing.
When the reality is they're the ones that are actually the founders and they're planning
on rugging or something like that.
Like, it is really hard to find good, genuine people.
And I don't know where it's quite at on ETH, but on Solana, it is really taking a turn
to where the most genuine projects and the most honest projects are literally going to
the top right now because they've been showing up day in and day out.
I don't know what it's been like on ETH, though.
I haven't been following closely, but that's my opinion.
I don't know if you guys are experiencing all this stuff that I feel like I have.
Bro, look what happened to me when I worked at OpenSea, bro.
Everyone thought, like, bro, I'm on A6TZ.
And that's a company, FUD.
At that time, this is before Blur took their lunch, literally they argued, like, they were
the number one marketplace, like, and everyone's like, hey, Scott, can you get my project verified?
I don't have no fucking, like, yo, let's verify fucking Zero's project.
There's nothing like that.
I'm got community insights and digital strategy.
And then when the royalty thing happened, like, I had any say, I'm getting calls like, bro,
I couldn't get a heads up.
Bro, I'm the bottom barrel, like, all the regular workers, like, we're just regular workers.
Like, we, like, there was no heads up.
Like, hey, you know, before we do no royalties, let's ask Scott, you know, since he's such
a pillar of the community of Web3.
But A6TZ, you know, give a fuck.
They were just, they fucking probably called.
Devin was like, bitch, turn it off now.
Like, that, I guarantee some shit like that real quick.
Like, there was no say for me.
But, man, as profits, it was really hard for me for, like, a month, a month and a half.
Like, even though I had nothing to do with this royalty shit, I wish I did have a heads
I could have told, like, you know, but I didn't.
I literally found out the same time with that tweet, everyone else did.
And this is literally the, at the time, a company that was worth fucking $13 billion,
Like, so once that happened, I'm like, yeah, man.
I don't know who to really trust fully.
Like, a full Web3 company, even if it has Web2 bearings, it's tough.
Like Fudd said, you never know.
It's out of your control.
So, Fudd, stay on, motherfucker.
Nah, I'm going to kind of die.
I'm going to say this about Fudd's take.
I understand why he shared his take.
I watched him grow in this space.
I thought he was a piece of shit, but then I realized he's not.
No, no, no, no, no, you hang on, you hang on.
So, I'll say this, and then you can respond.
I can't wait to meet him in person, dude.
Anyway, anyway, so this is what I'm going to say.
I've advised projects where the founder, after me asking months and months, more like weeks,
not months, more like weeks.
And then it turned into, like, month two.
And then it's, like, certain chain activity that I researched and also asked devs.
And I said, what does this mean?
This guy's taking money off chain.
Now, do I expect all advisors to do that?
But I'm going to say this.
We need to be better as advisors to have at least people in our corner to do research on contract.
Yo, if you think I do this research by myself, you're crazy.
A lot of people, and I'm not even going to bring this as an example because anybody can read a chain and read a multi-sig bean drain to seven different wallets.
But, yo, seriously, I really, really think advisors need to be better at understanding certain things when it comes to business basics, on-chain analytics, money, asking certain questions before getting hired.
Am I saying you're wrong for getting hired or not?
But this will save you so much time and energy, especially because the way this space works, the way a lot of everything works these days, especially for marketing people, a.k.a.
people that are social or community managers, your face and your reputation's on the line.
So you should be asking these questions, right?
First thing Scott tells me when there's a company interested, he already knows what I'm going to ask.
He's like, they're worth this much.
And he already knows all the green flags to hit.
Anything, I've learned a lot of that type of stuff from him.
Yeah, profits, tell them Crunchbase is your friend.
Now, profits be like, yo, I checked the Crunchbase.
Like, literally, I checked this already.
Like, she already, she knows what time it is already.
And, dude, it takes 30 seconds, y'all.
Like, and if you really want to take it further, you can get, you know, a premium account and really tap into everybody's shit.
But even without that, somebody could get you the number.
Like, one of us could DM you, figure it out.
But, yo, this, like, shit takes minutes to do, yo.
Spokeyo, that motherfucker calling you.
Are you calling you on a cell phone?
Like, you know what I mean?
This shit is free due diligence.
That takes five to ten minutes that nobody does.
You wonder what I've even had.
This is going to make y'all laugh.
I even had a guy make a fake LinkedIn and then make a fake Zoom call as the fake LinkedIn guy.
But, you know, I figured it out.
But this is how fucking weird all these people are.
So, like, don't just go, yo.
You know, I looked into his Twitter.
You know, I looked into her Twitter.
You know, that's just not enough right now, man.
What were you going to say?
I was just going to, because you were like, I thought Fudd was kind of like an ass or something like that.
And I was going to say, to be fair, I am.
But you took it to, like, another level than I actually am.
I was just going to agree with you.
No, you know, because I could be way off.
But I definitely paid attention to you when, like, one of your first gigs, this actually, this similar to this PFP, whatever it was.
And then I've also watched you be like, damn, well, this project sucks.
And so I've watched you learn out loud.
And it's very commendable.
So definitely respect you for how you've kind of maneuvered and pivoted your way through the space.
Knowing that you have strengths to add, you know.
I know I have a lot to teach you still.
I'll continue to teach you.
Yeah, I wanted to highlight, like, the question was about, can you market in the spaces and, you know, promotions going on?
I think the most important thing is to not own the stuff.
And that is the biggest mistake that everyone gets into is they double dip.
If you get paid for marketing and you own some of it or they give you stuff that you can dump, I think that's where you get into the big trouble.
But if you say what King Fudd said, that, hey, like, this is it, and I don't know much about them, but you're very transparent about it, then people are going to be willing to accept it.
And if you look at YouTube, they do a lot of, like, verbal ads, right?
Like, where they just, like, say, oh, this coffee, this is what I drink, but actually, you know, they're just paying us for this slot, and they don't go too far into it.
But I've been in other spaces where they're clogging up, like, 15 to 30 minutes, and, you know, maybe the host is, like, super bullish on them.
And that's just going overboard.
Like, if you take a deal, you don't have to go overboard.
But most important thing is not owning the stuff when you talk about it, because that way you're giving other opportunities for people to buy if they want, and you're not dumping on them, right?
Like, I can talk about dots, because I don't own a maxi or a dot.
See, I'm not shilling it because I don't own any.
But KingFud does have a dot mint coming up, and if you buy a maxi, you can get a dot.
And if I got paid for an ad to do that, that's okay.
But if I had loaded up, like, 100 maxis, and then I said that, okay, then now we're entering some strange territory, right?
And they're cute as fuck.
I mean, look at that little guy.
Yeah, the art is actually, it is actually truly amazing.
I'm actually surprised you were able to get the likeness of people.
Like, you're doing, like, dot versions of influencers, and it's pretty wild.
Like, so you can, like, stylize them to look exactly like people without changing the core look.
Like, it's very cohesive, the art style.
Yeah, it's going to be really easy to make one that looks like profits.
I'm just going to, like, what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to have my three-year-old do it,
and just kind of smudge their hand all over a piece of paper, and it'll look, like, almost ideal, like, identical.
But, well, yeah, I mean, the truth is I paid zero to say this and then to say he actually didn't own any.
So this is marketing 101.
Now I have to get this fictitious payment.
You know, a good meal is worth a lot.
Cake and pie, you know, and pizza.
Profits has been posting better food pics than me lately.
I don't know what Profits has been on.
She's, like, saying she's struggling to pay rent, and then she's out here eating at, like, Benihana's for breakfast.
Well, the difference is I'm being – so if I'm posting those pictures, that means I'm being taken out.
Like, your favorite Instagram model.
Don't ever post to the guy.
My favorite was three influences.
Yo, y'all wives taking me out to eat.
Y'all wives taking me out to eat, asking me for advice.
I was going to say, King Fudd, why are you not on Frontech?
I'm over here searching Frontech to buy you, to buy your key.
Terrible purchase, Profits.
You don't know how to use – hold on, boy.
You don't know how to use base or what?
I Fudded it hard when it first came out.
I was like, man, this is just, like, so stupid.
It's just more pumping and dumping.
And it faded out, and I was like, I knew it, dude.
I was right in everybody.
I was dunking on people, and they were like, you were right, dude.
And then now it's just, like, exploded.
My stress is, like, I've got stuff going on in real life, and then I'm also trying
to balance, you know, my family, and then this new project we're slowly, slowly ramping
It's like, how would I provide any value over there?
I don't have any time to do it.
So, that's my personal situation.
But I think as far as Frontech goes, I think I'm late to it.
I think I should have definitely downloaded it and invested in some homies a while ago.
I don't – I can understand that take, and I'll leave it here.
I'll go to the hands, and then if we want to come back to this, we can.
I get why you say that because of fabrication and pumping and dumping and all that.
I will say now that there's new features, like the global thing, the global feature
where you click it, and you can literally see seconds ago who bought or who sold what.
And so, I guess what I'm saying is even, like, even people with no value or nothing,
You know, that's what's happening now.
However that may sound, take it with a grain of salt.
I'm not saying or condoning anything.
I'm saying that I think it's gotten to a point where people don't care who's on it
unless you're, like, P. Diddy or, like, for example, fucking this motherfucker,
Steve Aoki, went live yesterday.
And, like, a lot of bots ate it up, and a lot of people also ate it up.
But for obvious reasons, right?
And then he bought himself, and then guess what?
Everybody sold it, right?
So it's, like, there's, like, different, you know, like, I guess ideas of why something may pump.
But I don't think you're late, number one.
Number two, I don't think anyone's going to hold anything over your fucking head.
I said the very first day that Front Tech holders may or may not get first access to Web3 Exposed apparel, right?
And that's literally all I've ever said, and that's what I continue to say, and that's it, right?
And, like, so, yeah, I hope that made sense.
I definitely understand your take.
The punk 902, the punk 9059 guy, the yellow punk, the yellow background dude that works for proof,
he was super stressed the other day, like, oh, somebody made a fake version of me, and it pumped, and people this, and people, bro, nobody cares.
I promise you, bro, nobody got hurt.
Nobody thought or nobody was sad.
When you go to the Twitter and you realize that it's not the person, first of all, first of all, you can instantly see if this is the real person or not.
You got to click the Twitter.
Just like when you check a mint link.
You got to check it, right?
So, like, again, I get it, but nobody cares.
Nobody's going to be mad or sad that you bought the fake Machi Big Brother or whatever the fuck.
Nobody – it's not like that.
It's kind of past all those, like, what's the word, very immature takes.
It's just tech, and at this point, social currency is not going anywhere.
So, hope that made sense, Mr. King Fudd.
I think it's, like, different strokes for different folks, too.
You know, like, I'm bullish on the 100 fan theory.
You know, I've been saying that a lot.
Obviously, it's called the 1,000 fan theory, but in Web3, I've been preaching for two years.
Musically, fan-wise, you don't need your 100, you know, most legit fucking, you know, Fuddamaniacs, you know, to really cook something like that.
And that's why I wasn't really bullish on, like, the fucking app.
You know, I've said this a million times.
I was more bullish on the skeleton part.
And, you know, you were smart, Fudd.
Like, even me and Profits weren't sure, like, what the fuck we thought this was.
We're, like, we called it BitClout 2.0, you know, just at face value.
But then after, you know.
And then once we found out Pancakes, Racer, you know, people from the space that we fuck with that become into Web3 Exposed and me and Profits' old space.
Like, it's just, it'd be like, Fudd, you doing some tech shit and fucking cooking.
Like, we gonna support you, bro.
So, like, so, like, I'm just happy that even after all the Fudd that happened, like, you know, now motherfuckers are, like, you know, looking at it.
What could it be instead of just that front face of value?
It's a fucking way to, like, you know, pump your friends.
Also, though, if you do, there's gonna be those people like Kobe where some fan just wants to pay $3,600 to fucking be in a chat with them.
You know, there's also gonna be that.
And then there's also, like, what Profit said.
You buy my shit, motherfucker.
Like, I'm not, you know, whatever.
The people fucking promising mutants and apes and shit and private chats.
And then you got people fucking fake pumping your tech keys.
That's fucking corny, and you're just as bad for LARPing doing that the way you LARPed in the fucking timeline.
Like, for me, I'm just, like, fucking, like, you know, I'm on my AI movie shit.
So, I've been, like, I'll show a character that ain't used or I'll show the little poster or the beat that I ain't dropped.
Me and NBA Young Boys producer made some beats we ain't dropped.
So, I'm letting everybody slap that shit in there.
So, all things that are on pressure, you know what I mean?
Like, all things in my means, I ain't got to, like, go too crazy.
Like, gave away some one-of-ones that I did and then gave away some Funko Pops.
Like, you know what I mean?
But you don't got to do nothing.
It can be something in between, something super hands-on.
Some people are even, FUD, you'll like this one.
Some people got in early on all the goaded keys.
Like, you know, because they weren't bearish on Frontech.
So, literally, bro, you can buy a key to one of these chats and it's the key to all the other ones that are, like, three E's.
So, like, because it's decentralized.
You can't kick them out, right?
Like, you can't make the guy sell your key.
So, like, there's been some funny-ass, like, ways to do this shit.
And it's really, like, yeah, man.
I'm having fun when people go, what should I do for mine?
And I just look at that motherfucker and be like, yo, bro, feet pics, bro.
Like, you know, just as a joke or whatever the fuck, just have fun with it, dudes.
Like, you know, you're seeing everything.
So, yeah, sky's the limit with what the fuck you want to fill your fucking holder chat with.
Rhino and then Will, go ahead.
No, Rhino, don't listen to him.
Sony headphones to kick back in again.
Hey, Scott, I've actually got a question for you, man.
It goes back to something you were talking about earlier, because we were talking about
this right at the beginning of the space.
And that is, where do you go to validate, verify, get data points or whatever else on
on these founders, projects, companies, et cetera, in Web3?
Like, you know, you mentioned even crunch-based, cool, great for Web2, or at least typical enterprise-type
projects and getting the details on VCs and whatever else.
But what are you doing or what are you seeing in the Web3 space, like, those data points
Anybody want to take that?
I was asking Scott, because we were talking about it earlier, but Scott's here, and he
was talking about it now, so I wanted to get his take.
But he may just be ignoring me.
Rhino's asking a question.
Can you say it, probably?
No, I'm bringing it back up.
No, he's asking a very intricate question.
I don't want to fuck it up.
While he's getting back on the stage...
He was basically asking for...
...projects, where do you go to, you know, kind of find out if it's not a rug or something?
He said something about a punch face or something.
Yeah, Scott, can you hear me, bro?
Yeah, I can hear you now.
So, one of the things we were talking about much earlier on, and you mentioned something
like 10 minutes ago, is how are you going about doing research on the projects, the
founders, the investors, the team, all this kind of stuff on Web3 projects?
Because I know how to do it inside and out on Web2, you know, Crunchbase and VC.
Checking business ethics first.
Yeah, so there's a couple ways that me and sis do it.
So, obviously, you just have the people that just randomly hit you, you go from there.
Those are, obviously, you're going to have to do a little bit more research.
But sometimes we'll get inbound from, you know, the agency that I absorb my agency into,
and they spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars doing a lot of that,
And then I can kind of go from there after I, you know, they made it through all their
But if it's just an inbound that me and Profits are getting through an email or, you know,
You know, first thing I ask is, what the fuck are you doing?
Like, I always say Stone Camel Club.
Like, what are you, what is the whole point of this?
What are we even talking about?
Like, are you, what are you, are you fixing something?
And from there, you know, you get half, half people fucking are already half-stepping.
And then if someone makes it past that barrier, now I start digging, right?
I go, okay, are you a bootstrap?
You know, if it's somebody from Japan, somebody from Asia, you know, usually if it's a VC back
from there, they're going to be on Crunchbase.
They're going to have some kind of backup.
So I kind of just look at there.
Okay, they got X amount of money in 2022.
You know, they're planning on doing XXX and this, and they hired this agency.
Do I think this is all going to work out in the equation?
Some people don't do a quarter of that, right?
No, and that's the problem.
They just go, oh, the Twitter looks good?
Like, how many of us heard this?
Oh, what, what, what, bro?
Like, literally, the Twitter looks good.
Like, this is, like, how the extent goes.
And even some of the people that have been here for two years, the marketers,
it's funny that somebody will hit us on Vise, you go, yo, should we use this person?
And I'm like, damn, bro, like, you, you haven't been here this long, but they have.
They're just not tapped in like what, like what you're saying, Rhino.
They don't know where to look or the person was doing this shit under their nose the whole time.
And that blows me away, too.
Like, this, this X amount of person's been bullshit marketing for two straight years and still getting another opportunity,
another opportunity, and not a shitty one, you know, a pretty decent one for maybe like a marketplace that's doing, you know,
some kind of different mechanic.
But really, it's all shit on Google.
Like, if it's a VC bag, if they really got money, you can, ask Rhino.
He deals with these people, too.
Like, and if they didn't, they're capping.
Bro, what are you talking about?
I don't see none of this money that you said you got a year ago from X.
And always ask somebody else.
Rhino, you know, I trust you like with everything.
So if it's a bigger thing than my plate, I'm always going to reach out to Rhino.
I'm going to reach out to Xero.
There's no dumb questions here.
I hate how, like, it's like elementary school.
People don't want to raise their hand, but they'll get their whole wallet stolen,
and they're not telling nobody about it, like, or how it happens.
Like, literally, just deadass, be quiet.
Like, it's cool to dunk on yourself.
Like, this shit not going in the history books about the fuck-ups, like, that we personally did.
So, yeah, man, Google, Google, Google, Google.
And then I even, if it's personal shit, bro, I want to know what kind of person you are.
So, like I said earlier, Spokio, that's the cheapest one.
Like, literally, you can see someone's fucking front door.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, people are not hard to find in this space, and I don't get why it doesn't take 20 minutes to 30 minutes.
And you can really kind of, like, see a foundation of somebody's life on paper.
And then, Kai, you might not get the full fucking picture, but at least you'll go, okay,
this person moves like this, they'll probably do this.
Because one of the most important things for us to do is due diligence, which is exactly what I'm asking you about.
Like, what are those data points?
Because I'm looking to learn.
I always like to learn new methods for getting those data points and how you do it.
At the end of the day, you're going to connect the dots yourself.
You're going to make the judgment yourself because there's still areas of guessing.
But I was just trying to see.
If anyone's listening in here from a company like what Rhino's talking about, please go with the people.
And I'm not speaking for me and prophets.
Take us out of it or zero.
Go for a person who don't have bagotitis that's going to be harsh and give you that things that you don't want to hear.
Because what happens is you hire Joe, Joe's cool with Jane, and so on and so on and so on.
And you get this deadly chain of just people that aren't going to bring value to you because they're cool with the other person.
Always pick somebody who's going to go, you know, fuck that, bro.
You're not right or you're not wrong.
No, I just wanted to touch on that.
I think that was some great points.
Money is always the last question whenever I talk to somebody.
Honestly, even if I were to go for a job, I'm asking a job, what are you doing, where are you trying to go, so on and so forth.
And everything's got to line up.
It's got to line up, A, with is it lined up with what I do?
B, are they a profitable company or not a profitable company?
I would say in some aspects, even if they're monetary or what they're trying to pay you is well above what you normally get paid.
Why are you trying to pay me so much?
There's a lot of people don't like to ask why.
They're just like, oh, okay, 50K, okay.
Like, it's like you're paying way more than anybody else would.
Well, what are you trying to achieve here?
Are you trying to achieve something short-term or long-term?
Because long-term, you're probably not thinking about your financials correctly.
But, yeah, I mean, that's my thoughts on that.
With the Frientech thing, though, I do want to point out that Profits is trying to manipulate my stock over on Frientech.
She's trying to push me down.
No, no, but there is a game, a way to gain the Frientech thing, and I love it.
It's that global thing, Profits.
Like, you can go through and exactly what you said.
You click on the Twitter.
You can check the Twitter.
You can check the timeline.
Hey, they got 100K followers.
They're in line with what you look for.
They just launched, so they're probably worth, like, 0.001.
Hey, that's probably a good investment for, you know, a quick flip.
And that's what a lot of people are doing on there.
A lot of people don't realize that, but you can flip people real easily on there.
You can also get in really early if you have faith that the creator with 100K followers or whatever is doing really – will do really well.
And you can hold that until the next bull run and maybe profit on that then.
So I want to also point out, too, I think a lot of people don't talk about this, but there's – I get this all the time, 100K accounts, 50K accounts, 150K accounts, willing to sell their account to me, you know, to be able to utilize it whenever I want.
And a lot of people don't – and a lot of them are scans, but there are some that actually do this.
And so, like, even though you may think the influencer that you have is some big influencer, they're probably bought it or they're probably bought accountants in a lot of cases.
Probably somebody who may have done something wrong in the past that has picked up an account and, you know, from someone else to be able to build off of that one to do the same thing again.
So you got to always be careful and listen to who you're talking to and understand voices.
I think voices are really unique in this space.
So I always listen to voices to make sure I'm not hearing the same person from a different account.
I was just going to say, I mean, yeah, whenever I was researching projects, right, it would just be like, you know, first thing actually is just go to the Twitter account, right, just because that's a bare minimum.
Like, if they can't even make that good, then, you know, what the fuck are they doing?
But then, you know, I mean, what do you call it?
You got to go to the website.
You got to look at, like, a lot of times I'll have, like, LinkedIn.
You got to look at that, see if those LinkedIn's are fake profiles.
And then really what Scott was saying is, like, 100% on point.
You got to go down Google rabbit holes.
Like, they say they're affiliated with this.
You got to look down that.
Okay, where are they, like, registered for X, Y, and Z?
And then a lot of it is experience.
Like, a lot of times it's really just been the smell test where it's just, like, what they've been, what they're trying to sell just doesn't sound right.
But, and, yeah, that only really does come with experience.
Why do you come to Web3 Exposed, Bad Brothers?
What else am I going to do?
Hey, Bad Brothers, I love you because I heard what you said on another space, Kyle.
I love you, bro, for real.
Prophets, are you slandering Bad Brothers right now?
I genuinely wanted to know why he comes here.
Because I was going to say, this is, like, I'm all for it.
I'm all for the Bad Brothers slander.
I was about to hop in with you.
But if you're showing love, I'll ignore it.
As always, you guys never cease to amaze me.
Like, comment, repost the room.
Make sure you get into the Discord, link in the bio, all that great stuff.
This show goes live every single day, 3.45 p.m. Eastern, except Wednesdays.
Web3 Exposed is here to stay.
And Web3 Exposed is here to continue to piss off your favorite influencer.
Not founders, because you know why founders?
Real founders, they fuck with this show.
LARPing idiots, they do not.
They don't like this show.
Which, you know, just because I drive an RSX doesn't mean I'm poor.
I definitely, definitely am excited for what's to come for everybody that's building.
I've been on a lot of phone calls with a lot of you.
I swear to God, I've been having, like, six calls a day just before 2 o'clock.
I don't know how I'm even able to do it.
Scott's learning a lot, I'm sure, as well.
And I'm bullish on everybody.
Bullish on everybody doing some real shit.
Not bullish on pieces of shit.
So, obviously, that's that, right?
We do have a weekend show coming.
I won't say too much, because you guys are going to steal the idea.
But to be honest, it doesn't really matter.
You guys can steal the fucking shit.
Try to steal the show, and it just won't work.
Stop being so fucking corny.
Get a mind of your own, man.
Anyway, Scott, anything you wanted to chime in on before we wrap up?
I know, like, you know, I just want to end with that.
There's hella, like, you know, there's minimal opportunity as much as there was before.
But, you know, like, just because you're not getting that call today, dead ass.
You're one of the 400 motherfuckers that ain't left this bitch.
And that's just going to always be remembered.
So just keep staying in your lane.
Don't go on toxic spaces.
And don't fucking what Zero said for the whole week.
There's no reason to change your mask, man.
There's no reason to quote unquote rebrand.
That's all you need to worry about.
It's never been about the fucking PFP.
So change it all you want.
You don't need to rebrand.
Change the voicing of your platform.
But don't come running back, bro.
No one's going to take you serious.
You look like the people coming back right now because they know kind of what time it is.
But no, man, you took a year off.
All of you in here didn't.
So don't let no one come that fucking took a year off.
And don't go settle working for another content creator under another content creator under another content creator.
Look what they've done before.
Before you sign this deal, go, what's the biggest content creator they push?
Do they want someone bigger than themselves?
If you come to Web3 Exposed, we want you number one.
What happened with BTC Digi and everybody else with number one?
Who's the only space fucking hollering, congratulating all that new top ten?
So on that, don't settle.
Follow everybody up there on left ground.
You know, I love that you just got me fucking fired up over here because I was literally about to say, if you are a creator, if you do videos, if you're a designer, I know a lot of you are.
You guys send me fucking memes all the time.
Even if you're a dev, a contract person, get in contact with me.
I'm going to send you a Calendly.
I want to get in contact with you.
Something special is in the works.
And I want to platform all of the best people in Web3.
There's some people here that you guys will never hear or see because your favorite influencer, your favorite founder is a fucking weirdo and they don't want to highlight somebody because they're scared that they're going to get bigger than them.
This shit's fucking weird, man.
This shit's really, really, really, really, really weird.
Anyway, real quick, Gary V, how are you feeling today?
Technology is remarkable.
It's insane because the first year of people discovering it, their scammiest friend made $83,000 selling a penguin with a penis in its eye.
Of course people don't, normal people don't get it.
It's the same reason people didn't get the internet in 99.
You had normal people saying, how the hell is Pets.com worth $85 billion?
How the hell is Web3 exposed the number one Twitter spaces?
And more importantly, there's no shading.
I'm not going to fucking plateau anybody because I feel like they're better or bigger or smarter.
If anything, I'm trying to braise your ass up.
If you are smarter than me, please get in my DM so I can highlight you because you deserve to be highlighted.
Anyway, everybody have an amazing weekend.
Tell them that you love them.
Tell yourself that you love yourself.
Do something for yourself.
Remind yourself why you're fucking here.
I promise you're here for a reason.
Everybody have a good weekend.
