Full Transcription
Happy Monday!
I'm not done.
I'm not done.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm about to click.
I don't want to sit.
I'm about to click.
I'm about to click.
I don't want to sit.
I'm about to click.
I'm down to click.
I don't even hope to make a crime scene.
I cut the trigger on the spit like a high beam.
And I would be a little bit when I was 19.
She called my number to leave her hair.
She got dry clean.
She got an edge where the messages is live.
Live green.
She's.
She's.
And they all stream, Scott.
Did you hear that?
They don't want to have that talk.
Is this a sore spot?
Damn.
I told Jimmy Sam I used a Grammy as a doorstop.
Girl, give me some hair because I need it.
And if I fuck with you, then I don't need it.
Baby, I would eat it.
I was talking about business gonna be repeated.
What the fuck?
Bro, I'm one away from Michael.
Nigga beat it.
Nigga beat it.
What the beat it?
This is my second time listening to this track, yo.
This shit goes crazy.
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
What the beat it?
Don't even pay me back on that.
I don't need it.
Facts!
I don't need that shit!
Sheesh!
This is a banger!
That was a motherfucking banger!
Like Common Repost, 4.09 p.m. Eastern.
Such a good day today.
Such a good day today.
The weather's not great.
It looks spooky outside.
No pun intended.
But, we're still having a good fucking day.
Excited to jump into the information.
Make sure that you like, comment, repost the room.
Unfortunately, I am a YouTube reject.
So, this is the only platform I'm relevant on.
So, I appreciate everybody that is here.
Also, make sure, if you haven't already, get in the Discord.
Link is in my bio.
So, yeah.
Let's get it.
Let's fucking go.
I put this on for Scott today.
This is Scott's song right here.
I'm drowning.
I'm drowning.
I'm drowning.
I'm drowning.
I'm drowning.
I'm drowning.
We're so icy.
Wonder why she like me.
Bitch, I'm drowning.
I just bought a Cuban addicted in the fountain.
Everywhere that I go, it's the light.
So, I'm surrounded.
I don't think you guys realize that they don't know, Scott.
They don't know that today I drank.
I drank something.
I drank something and there was some mushrooms in it.
And there was some other healthy things in it.
Scott, they don't know what's about to happen right now.
I'm fucking locked in now.
Focus.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Go to the line high.
I promise.
I had to cut some niggas off.
They didn't mean me no good.
I come from the ghetto.
So, my truck is in my hood.
She wouldn't wear no panties around me even if she could.
Gave out panties.
Spankster, they got it understood.
Fuck the nosebleeds, baby.
Cunts it on this wood.
If you no intention, don't come around me like it good.
I got street smarts and you can't get inside no book.
I can't write my wrongs, but I can still write these hooks.
Whoa.
I'm trying to get exposed, gang.
Drake, stop fucking around because they don't know.
They don't really know.
They're going to think it's a motherfucking joke.
Hooks.
I'm trying to get exposed, gang.
Bamboo.
I highly recommend everybody mix your mushrooms with matcha.
I'm going to give you the full ingredients.
I'm going to post the...
I'm going to post...
It's a legal product, okay?
I bought it from the internet.
An ad definitely got my ass.
But, yo, it's been about four hours in my system and I like it.
I fuck with it.
Yo, so much shit we consume throws us off our pH, man.
I don't care how much fucking money you're spending.
I do it, too.
I try to spend money on the good water and all the good shit.
And, bro, they contaminate everything they give us so fucking much that you have to add
and put other things in your body to clean and fucking focus.
But, yeah.
I used to be one of those...
First of all, sales.
Direct sales.
Door-to-door.
I did it all.
And that means that I had to use and be a part of the best products.
And I remember educating myself on water, you know, because I was selling water machines.
Still active company.
Still going around.
Anyway, and I'm like, damn, how much shit do we consume?
And then I was known as the friend giving random facts all the time because, you know, that's what happens.
When you start selling shit, you got to be...
You got to...
Hey, did you know?
Hey, did you know you could save on this, right?
All that.
All that good shit.
The shit was fucking helpful.
And I learned a lot.
And it helped me stop consuming so much shit.
And I also realized...
I mean, I'm not the most fucked.
I'm not a super health freak at all.
But it just made me realize what isn't good to consume, right?
But anyway, guys, welcome to the show.
4.13 p.m. Eastern.
It's a beautiful day today.
Luna, I don't got time for you today.
Go to your bed.
That's why your bed's next to me now.
So you don't have to bitch and complain.
Anyway, I'm just going to jump straight into the fucking...
I didn't go live Friday.
Apologize if you were looking for that show.
I needed a me day.
And that was much, much, much needed.
And I so fucking appreciate it.
So thank you, guys.
Anyway, but yo, I'm going to just call it like it is.
Scott, don't fucking...
Don't tell me shit.
D-Guys doing more busy work, okay?
D-Guys doing more busy work marketing.
I don't give a fuck what anybody says.
This is busy work marketing.
I'm going to leave that there.
I don't give a shit.
Any D-Guys of you down there want to challenge me, be my guest.
I will give you some ETH if you could give me a fucking solid comeback on what the fuck is going on.
But I'm going to tell you like this.
Just like in school, when the substitute was high as fuck and said,
Hey, your teacher's not here.
You guys don't have to do anything.
Use this busy work, pack it.
Yeah, busy work.
Busy fucking work.
That's what this is.
This is busy work.
And I'm not mad at it.
I'm just letting you know.
I'm calling what it is.
Should have done all this migration to fucking ETH a long time ago, like everybody said.
Utility isn't hopping from chain to chain.
I'm sorry.
It's just not.
So as we, Zero, shout out to Zero, by the way, made a great post today talking about,
he made it a joke, but it's a true post basically saying how NFTs shouldn't be considered securities,
especially if we're using, you know, the chain, right?
If we're buying NFTs for a membership or for art, right?
Like you're not over here trying to trade your fucking gym membership, right?
You're not trying to trade the art you buy unless, you know, maybe you, maybe you want
to sell it for a little bit more, right?
Sometimes.
But even then, you're not looking to day trade it all the fucking time.
And I thought that was a great point.
And granted, he made a joke based off, you know, Gary Gensler.
I get it.
I totally understand.
But anyway, the point is that it's true, right?
Finally, if, as NFT 2.0 kind of emerges, and if you haven't been tuning into the show,
something that me and Scott coined that now your favorite articles and such will start
to use, but it's fine.
But basically where we are going to stop giving our money to fucking known scammers like frauds
and racists and bigots and all types of weirdos, right?
Like finally, maybe, are we getting there, right?
Like, and why do I say this?
All fucking weekend, you got, you know, Joe Schmo living out of his mom's house with a 550
credit score, giving a whole hot take on what Luka Nets is and what he did and blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm glad everybody had him on and the spaces and all this shit, because finally you guys
are maybe realizing that it doesn't fucking matter what anybody's past is.
And fucking Fudrick's words, if you ain't selling Fent or fucking kids, I really don't
give a shit about what you've done in the past.
Now, there is situations where certain people in the space, yeah, grifting and all types
of shit, we talk about it, we call it out, cool, whatever.
I've already established and realized, first of all, calling shit out is good.
Making accountability, creating accountability, making sure people don't get hurt or continue
to get hurt, I think is important.
I appreciate the people that contact me, show me things, share information with me, especially
with receipts.
I'm not going to lie, it's hard to hear anybody if you don't really show me receipts.
I understand we don't like people, I get it, I don't like motherfuckers either, but that
doesn't mean I have the right to talk about them because I don't like them.
Now, if they have done something wrong and there's receipts or something to me or whatever
or to somebody I know or whatever the case may be, that's when it's like, okay, cool,
let's call it out.
But yo, just like your apartment complex where you live or anywhere else in life, there's going
to be people around you that you don't like, that you don't get along with, but guess what?
They're in your vicinity.
You got to respect them until they give you a reason not to, right?
And I'm saying this because, man, do you guys love using the word exposed nowadays?
It's okay, I know I didn't invent it.
Totally fine, totally get it.
But it was so, I was so shunned using it up until now.
I was shunned as fuck up until now using it.
And it's fine.
Like, this is not about that.
But this was to emphasize that as a space, as we grow, as we get into more technology,
more innovations, no one's going to buy all the art we minted, all the shit we minted.
I'm sorry it's over.
Let that go.
We are still 100% going lower.
Recession is here.
People need real fucking money.
People need to survive.
Interest rates are not getting lower.
I'm not a financial expert.
This is just stuff that you can Google, look at the fucking news basics, and just see.
Listen to what your parents are saying.
Listen to anybody that you know that owns things, right?
Like, the world is not getting better.
And what I should say is the world is not turning in your favor anytime fucking soon.
Take the opportunity now while it's quiet.
And I say it's quiet because everybody's broke.
When we were printing in the fucking recession and the, or excuse me, in the pandemic, and
everybody was getting free money and an expert trader and your favorite 18-year-old had a
fucking discord calling all the shit coins ever, buying Lamborghinis and selling you dreams.
That shit's done, bro.
All that is done.
The facade is over.
The fugazi's over.
Turn fucking all that shit off and realize that nothing is going to change for you unless
you change for yourself, right?
You get better at something, right?
And we all have it.
We all have it in us.
We all have something amazing about us.
Anyway, finish off my monologue.
I have to ask Scott because I've really been off Twitter the last two days.
Like, I tried my best to, I chimed in a couple of chats here and there, but I really
turned off the last two days.
I needed it.
I locked in, got super focused, got a lot done and I'm fucking just beyond stoked, not
only to get into the show, to get into the weed, to get into some announcements, working
on something really big that I can finally share with everybody.
Anyway, and I just hope and pray that we are done talking about Luca Nets, talking about
his past, no shade to Mr. Hotshot and his beautiful words and the way he writes, but I'm
sorry, I don't understand why things like that deserve to get donations, when in reality
that's information we all knew and saw already.
Now, if you're new and you did it and it helped you, cool, but it's just like, no shade to anybody
asking for donations.
I know Zach XBT is a very, very great sleuth that we appreciate and he's helped us a lot
and I think it's cool that he gets donations.
I'm nobody to say somebody does or does not.
It's just certain weird things and antics and optics and shit that be kind of don't
make it, it'll be making sense to me.
It just really doesn't make sense to me sometimes and I'm like, what is the goal here?
What is the intention here?
That's what I try to pay attention to, but I don't know.
Maybe it's not done.
I have no fucking clue.
I do though.
I do know though, I'm sick of Frank giving me fucking busy work.
Anyway, Scott, what's the vibe?
Good to see you today.
How are you?
Yo, good.
I'm mad.
It's just been so long.
Yeah, but it was good.
Day off had to go enjoy the day with the family at Fleet Week, you know, out here in San Francisco.
So that was really cool.
Touched a lot of grass, saw a lot of airplanes.
Kids enjoyed it.
So super dope.
Yeah, and just, I'm just going to touch on what you, you know, the last part of what
Prophets just said and great, great, great intro, sis.
Yeah.
So got all your tags.
I got all your DMs and, you know, I appreciate everybody.
But Luca addressed all this stuff two years ago on the first Twitter space that he ever
went on, which is me and Prophets' old Twitter space.
I know some of the new people, like Prophets said, you might not have known this stuff,
but from the influencer company to the older projects, even when our brother Emlo, you know,
our brother Emlo had questions.
And when Luca's here on a random day and, you know, Emlo actually made a post and clipped
it up, like, I think in July or something, and I actually retweeted it.
So, you know, instead of wasting my energy battling what I already knew is the truth, and
we could just use one example, and I'm going to just go into the news after that because
there's so much bullet stuff.
The Angry Pitbull Club, right?
I mean, you could just go on Hoodville's Instagram page.
You know, everybody knows Hoodville.
It's one of the biggest hip-hop accounts in the world, maybe top three, top four.
Everybody knows that was here in the bull run.
That was their project, right?
That funny hood vids in Hoodville, that was, they owned the project.
You know how I know?
Because Dented Feels had a collab event with them, and it was one of the best events in
Web3.
We had everybody there from Yeet.
Hennessy sponsored the event.
Stizzy, everybody that smokes Stizzy, sponsors the event.
I'm actually smoking my Hoodville Stizzy stick.
They all handed us a custom for that event.
But, again, being an advisor somewhere, investing in a company, is not your project.
We have to separate this shit in Web3.
It's kind of crazy that I may even have to explain something so simple.
Please, bro.
Please do it.
But it's wild.
Like, someone who throws money at something, right, whether it's through a VC or a homie
or the, you know, you heard him explain the shoe thing.
He threw on the store.
What the store does, like, well, Prophets knows these people personally.
The motherfucking person who threw the money on the store, dude, they're not going to,
they don't get a mother, like, they're going to do what, the people are going to do what
they want.
He's not going to say, yo, I don't think you should do an NFT project or whatever he's
going to say.
They're going to do it whatever the fuck they want.
Yeah, there's, like, three things in there that shouldn't have been added exactly right.
Like, you're talking about cookies and cakes?
Yeah, and it's just like.
Yeah, that shouldn't have been added at all, bro.
That should have been added at all.
That was a whole.
His name is Eli Hyman.
You could go look him up on Instagram.
Just open another business.
This is what this kid does.
No shade, by the way.
But he's a little Jewish kid in LA, rich as fuck.
And he opens businesses and opens businesses and opens businesses.
And NFTs were popping.
And that's what he did.
He turned his little brand into an NFT and tried to launch it.
Luka was invested in the store, the physical store, way before the NFT was a thought,
by the way.
So, sorry, Scott.
Continue.
No, Prophets.
I'm glad because I know you know these people, too.
And Web3, we like to group everything in, right?
Like, if a Web2.
And even we do this to Beanie, right?
As much as me and Beanie be fucking beefing.
Like, I'm going to even, like, yeah, he might know more than he leads on to.
But all three are different, right?
Advisor is one thing because you don't know if you're getting paid or not.
Motherfucker just helps.
How many things do I advise just because I love the people, right?
Bro, free advisory is a thing, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Free advisory.
Then there's paid.
Then there's paid strategists.
Then there's the CMO stuff.
And this is the problem.
You guys brought up all that stuff in the article.
And this is the last thing I'm going to say.
But you want to leave out Von Dutch.
You want to leave out the number one sold toy at Christmas, jail blasters.
So if you're going to make these tales and fables, first get the fables right.
Make the fables the truth, okay?
It doesn't take, like, I'm not a sleuth.
I'm not, I don't know how to read wallets or anything.
I just know Hoodville owns that project.
Like, you could go on the Instagram and they have video of Yeet, one of the top five rappers in the fucking world right now,
jumping up and down in the air at the Rugged Project event with a fucking stizzy stick in his mouth with Hoodville quoting,
thank you so much for Yeet pulling up to my event for my project, Angry Pitbull Club.
Shout out to Dented Fields for throwing the collab with us.
Luka wasn't there.
He wasn't at the event.
He wasn't in the pre-event.
It's just because he wouldn't fucking own the project.
So, like, this doesn't take rocket science.
I don't need to know how to read fucking wallets.
I don't need no grass drawn.
I was there, bitch.
Like, and I hate to swear.
Like, a lot of us were there.
We were walking in that motherfucker.
Luka had no part of this shit.
And I know Luka before he came here.
So, before you tag me in some weird shit and fuck up, you being able to connect to me and Profits Network because you want some clout.
Yo, the seven of you, sorry, I have to say this.
The seven of you that are, like, platform founders, first of all, and know us and asked us your, like, your opinion, genuinely, the very few of you, cool, whatever.
The few of you that have been ignoring us for months, all of a sudden remembered our ads and DM'd us, oh, what are your thoughts?
Suck my dick because you're a fucking weird as fuck.
Seriously.
Like, that's just, you don't give a shit about me or Scott.
But when something negative hits the timeline, you run to us and say, hey, oh, my God, what are you, what are you, what?
Like, you think I'm stupid?
Like, oh, my God, bro.
Scott, go ahead.
Yeah.
So, like, that's, I didn't even want to say anything.
And I'm glad it's been two days and motherfuckers, you know, came to their senses, you know.
I mean, like, zero even covered the chart of what's going on, too.
It was sad to see, like, people, like, not really think shit out for 24 hours.
But I understand people need their money, so I'm not here to dunk on.
I don't sell shame at all.
I don't care what the fucking situation is.
But, again, man, we just got to, if someone writes something, there's always the other side.
So, like, a lawsuit, right?
You know what I mean?
But what happens in Web 3 is we just, we can't wait to, whoever the main characters are, you know, of the season, we just praying for anything to be messed up, right?
It doesn't matter if he, she, whoever it is.
Like, any story comes up, it's about to be, like, the we talked about thing.
But I'm just glad, like, this space is maturing by the time of, it was, you know, today.
And Prophets even said it, she's like, nah, bro, like, it's going to be chill.
You know, like, it's going to be more calmed down.
And, you know, what happened?
The Stars thing happened.
The AVAX thing happened, right?
So, like, there's always going to be some wild-ass story and wild-ass whatever.
But just know the facts, because all this was addressed two years ago at on-chain TV.
Which space is back then, you know, we could record it and bring this shit up.
But, yeah, there's nothing new, man.
And let's just get straight in.
There's just too much fire news and fire-ass shit going on to even be hinged on any of this.
So, let's just go to the AI in Web3, right?
And I saw a really interesting thing.
It's about how AI won't realize its potential without Web3.
And basically, the introduction of AI into these Web3 systems can further enhance these strengths.
And what I mean is Web3 facilitates the scaling of community building.
I'm going to use this bucket.
While AI effortlessly scales content production.
As Prophets, she's a fucking, she's Picasso now.
Now, together, they have potential to create two things.
The rapid, scalable content.
And then constructed by a rapidly scalable community.
So, even if anything else is in your bucket.
Like, boom.
I don't get what people don't see here.
And the next thing I want to go to is what Prophets prefaced with about NFT 2.0.
It stole the show again this week, guys.
So, 50 more million.
Oh, Will's here.
Will, Will, I love you, bro.
You're going to be so excited about this thing.
I didn't even get to tell you yet.
So, 50, another 50 million.
You know, that we hit that billion dollar.
I'm going to keep bringing up the billion dollar mark.
Because I was even like, oh, shit, man.
You know, who, who is it?
Is this the mark?
But I swear, I swear.
Ever since we hit that billion dollar mark.
And the deal flow at 50%.
Everything, like, turned around.
Not turned around, but it's getting better, right?
So, the biggest winner.
Will, are you there?
Can you hear me?
Blackbird Labs.
So, this is an NFT membership app that connects its users to restaurants.
It secured $24 million this week.
Led by, who else?
A-16-Z, but this was the interesting one.
Amex Ventures.
I'll repeat.
Amex Ventures.
But y'all listen to your favorite growth hacker, your favorite rebrander, your favorite monetize-on excerpt, right?
And another one.
People, this is a less known company, but Bolt by QED.
Like, the Amex, A-16, and Bolt, right?
Blackbird itself is built on top of Coinbase's base, layer two.
And it gives restaurants, what Will explained, insights into customers' dining preferences.
So, diners use app rewards with fly tokens, which can be used for rewards at restaurants, or you do other shit with it, like Will explained to you.
He didn't even know this was going to happen, and this is why we covered this shit.
Speculative tribalism is over, y'all.
So, like, and let's go to the infrastructure side and the privacy side.
Shout out Fairblock.
Their research and development team focused on cryptography.
They just secured three million in a pre-seed round by Galileo, Dialectic, and Lemnyscap.
Like, there's what?
Bear Market, guys.
Stop listening to this shit.
And I repeat for the 300th time this year, philanthropy, logistics, access, memberships, overtaking legacy systems like an aeronautic, digital twins, reward systems, and what we preface, the intersection of AI Web 3.
It's here.
It's not the future.
It's not next week.
It's not, yo, I'm going to learn about it tomorrow.
It's not people fighting over or saying they're going to be the number one space host.
It's not, it's selling weed good or bad.
It's what we're talking about.
And we'll just keep going.
Steven Soderbergh, right?
We talked about the last NFT film that got back.
Add another one.
The Quiet Maid.
Shout out Miguel Foss.
He's about to debut the movie at the Black Knights Film Festival.
Totally funded.
And he sold the rights to Ibera American entertainment firm Film Sharks.
So, another example of just using the technology to raise money.
And no, it's not Patreon.
I hate that fucking, you could do this on Patreon.
Well, then why aren't they?
You know what I mean?
Here's another way to do it.
It doesn't need to be hated on.
And second movie, y'all.
This is the second movie that's been locked in.
Third thing.
Japan.
Fast movement in Web 3 putting countries on notice.
Developers, I hope you're listening.
China Daily.
So, if you don't know what that is, it's a Chinese newspaper, but it's in English.
But it's owned by the Communist Party.
But they want to create a metaverse and NFT platform.
They are awarding any dev to a third-party contractor $400,000 to anyone that helped them to design with the budget specifications.
So, basically, devs or any third-party company has to the 17th to submit the app so you can try to build this.
Yo, so if you're on the dev team, yo, shoot your shot, man.
Could be you guys.
And we talked about something last night in KB space that was super dope.
It was about, like, why is Japan, why, you know, why is it going crazy right now?
Like, why do, but why aren't they buying our shit?
Why aren't they buying, you know, why aren't they going on OpenSea and buying our bags?
Because remember, wait until Asia wakes up.
Man, get that joke out of here because they're too smart, right?
And here's, it's coming from some Japanese, right?
I'm half Japanese.
China's waking up.
Yeah, grandma came here on a boat during World War II.
You all know the story.
I've said it a lot of times.
But I want to explain something about cultural differences that we explained in KB.
Shout out to Hated by Fate.
Fate was on point, too.
So, they don't really care about our NFTs, and I'll tell you why.
People in Japan don't bicker over personal wants in order to contribute to the greater good of their society, right?
This is what's missing on crypto Twitter and a lot of Western civilizations, and we can argue about this all day.
You can't have individualism and collective order at the same time, period.
This is why, like, IPs, like we said last night in KB Space, Domo, Captain Tsubasa are so big.
The IP represents the country.
It's bigger than the people.
It's bigger than the floor.
It's bigger than trade.
It's about the bigger picture, not people's individual paintings.
They don't care about the biggest bag or I'm going to be the biggest farmer because the pride for these IPs outweighs that.
And, of course, you're going to have the 1% of people that don't feel like that, but that is why.
That's why South Korea, why all these other countries don't really give a shit about our shit, and we're trying to pitch to them, right?
We're trying to get them to be on our shit.
And, you know, we can't just cover the good stuff.
We're going to cover the bad stuff.
So, allegations of the pump-a-dump against OpenSeas Ventures, Kevin Pollack, allegedly connected to...
Another fucker?
He didn't learn from me?
So, y'all remember Anubis Dow?
It took 60 M's.
And I guess, yeah, he was one of the head guys at...
He was Sisyphus.
Like, one of the...
Yeah, man.
And this is newspaper, so don't call me 6ix9ine.
This shit is all public information.
Yeah, just like...
This is why I hate, because that kind of article makes it hard for all of us, not only to move, you know, to web...
Like, have these WebQ meetings that we keep, you know, being bullish on and telling everyone to have, but it messes the Google search up, right?
So, what if someone's interested in these past couple of weeks, you got NFTs are down 95%, you know, the Dapp Gambler hit article, and then you got stuff like this, and then you have the Yuga restructure article, right?
When every good company's going to restructure, man, we talked about Microsoft already going, you know, they didn't say F the metaverse, they're just doing infrastructure.
Like, just like Meta.
Like, look at Meta now.
Everyone thought they were done, they pull out the glasses and everything else.
Like, this is what companies do.
So, you know, Yuga's just doing a restructure, growing pains, it's okay.
You know, they want to, you know, zoom in on something else, which it looks like they're going to do a lot of gaming stuff.
So, you know what I mean?
They're still highly profitable, guys.
Like, you know what I mean?
As much as we want to be like, yo, how are they worth $4 billion?
That's not how it works, yo.
It's about motherfuckers is profitable or not.
Like, OpenAI made $5 million this month, right?
And we'll say OpenAI is a popping-ass company, right?
Yuga did those Bitcoin NFTs and made what?
Like, what was it?
Profits $15 million, $13 million in, like, one day?
So, it's like, as much as we like to, like, make fun of this space and use Yuga as this, like, you know, example,
they're still super profitable, man.
And I get what Jonah was saying about, like, future TVL, but, man, you saw Wizard of Soho.
That's what this boy does.
He's the artist wizard.
That's what this boy does.
And, like, he broke it down.
So, you know, like I said, I don't got no Yuga assets, but, yo, just another, you know, growing pains of a company.
And we're going to see what they do.
And last thing, I want to book, so we book collectibles, right, as a meta.
So, I want to book another hot take.
Biotech will be the next intersection with AI and Web3.
Maybe, obviously, not on crypto Twitter.
But, yeah, book it here, baby.
And on top, the news was long-winded, but it had to be done because there's so much bullish stuff this weekend.
Love y'all.
Glad everyone's here.
Let's fucking go.
Let's go.
Welcome to Web3 Exposed, 4.38 p.m. Eastern.
Thank you for tuning in.
We go live every day at 3.45 p.m. Eastern, unless it's Wednesday.
And then we don't.
Anyway, Will, what's the vibes?
Give us that news when it comes to the financial markets.
What's going on?
Well, first, I wanted to – I did pin up there the Indeed of –
or, sorry, not the Indeed, the LinkedIn of the CEO slash owner of Blackbird.
And as you guys can see, all he's done his entire life is restaurants.
It's not a grifter making some app who doesn't know what they're doing.
It's an actual person who's been in the industry for a long time and knows the industry inside and out.
This is like Gordon Ramsay going and creating an app in crypto almost when you look at it from the food industry side.
Like, it's actually insane.
A lot of people just – and this is why we come in here and talk to you guys on a daily basis and let you kind of know the info.
Because these are big changes to crypto as a whole, right?
And they're using cryptocurrency as a way to reward people on both ends.
That's on the front end and the back end.
Both the restaurant and basically the person dining there, right?
So, the consumer and the person who's distributing to the consumer.
It's an amazing thing to see.
It's going to allow restaurants to not only, you know, gain rewards with the person dining.
It's going to also allow that to be trackable, right?
You'll be able to see, okay, this person got rewards at this restaurant.
This person got rewards at that restaurant.
This person got rewards at that restaurant.
Okay, they like Italian food, right?
It's kind of putting two and two together because the blockchain is very transparent.
And it shows that that person is consistently dining at certain places or not dining at other places.
And I pointed this out because, again, it goes back to Scott's thesis to look at LinkedIn.
The guy has a long-standing history on LinkedIn.
So, you can always research your founders if they're 20 and just graduated high school.
That might be a little questionable, right, as a founder.
But, like, if you've got people in the industry like this guy, man, that's something you can get behind.
That's a project I think that will do more than what most expect.
But, yeah, outside of that, I consistently – I don't want to veer into the whole war thing.
I know there's going to be so many questions around that.
Look, at the end of the day, what is going on over there, I want to be clear about it.
It's a long-standing situation that's never ended between two countries, right?
Like, it's – I find it interesting how the news finds, you know, periodic times to cover these things to draw your attention away, right?
And I'm not saying that you shouldn't care about what's going on.
I'm more stating, like, always stay focused on what you're doing.
Never allow things to, like, grab your emotional response because that's all this app can be a lot of the time.
I can tell you I talked with a lot of guys this morning and they were just like, man, like, you can't find anything about finances right now
because the entire feed is flooded with what's going on.
And, again, it doesn't mean it's not grinding.
I think just most people are grifting more than they're – you know, more than they actually care.
And that's kind of the issue here.
It's not about caring or not caring.
It's about grifting somebody else's tragedy to take advantage and basically gain clout for it or try and pretend to be just.
And I say pretend because I think, you know, 90% of the people in the entire Twitter is BS.
But, again, sorry, I went on a bit of a tangent.
I know I'm supposed to cover markets, but I just wanted to be clear about that because I know there's going to be questions around the war thing, right?
I just – look, it's not something I'm really interested in discussing.
I have an opinion.
I don't think people should kill people, either side.
But, you know, that's my opinion.
War-wise, I don't think it's a war.
Again, I think it's more of a ground event or a local, you know, controlled type of scenario that's always been going on.
So I don't think it's going to increase the amount of tanks that are being created or so on and so forth.
So I don't think it will affect markets in the way that most think it will.
A lot of people are calling it a black swan event.
I don't think it's going to be a black swan event.
A lot of people are saying oil and gold are rising.
So – and this is all pertaining to markets.
I don't – has anybody not looked at oil and gold for the past four or five months?
This event just exploded, right?
Like why has oil and gold been up the entire time?
Like people just – they like to look at an event and point at a chart and say this is why.
No, that's not at all it.
Oil has been on their eyes even before this became news.
So, again, throwing that out there because I know we're going to have like 20-minute conversations with many people like,
oh, what about this event and that event?
Look, none of that stuff matters.
Just look at the chart.
Price-wise, 20 – I think we hit 27-4.
A lot of people will believe that, you know, this or that was the reason.
Look, we caught resistance.
It was very obvious over the weekend.
We came up to 28, fell back under, and just couldn't really break through, right?
So we're falling back.
And really I think like your range really here is like 26-5 to 27.
You want to hold that.
You get below 26-5, I think you're going back to 25.
And I think if you're going back to 25, I don't think it's just a revisit.
I would think there's a pretty good scenario that you can go below that, right, and probably hit that 20K range.
Is it a big deal for Bitcoin if you're heavily accumulating?
I don't know.
I don't know if that's a big deal.
Again, like if you're looking towards the bull run, not a big deal.
But if you're in altcoins, I can tell you every single pullback for Bitcoin has been very detrimental to altcoins.
It's just been wrecking them.
So like if you get a pullback like that, like altcoins could see some serious downside.
ETH breaks below 1,500.
You're probably looking at 1,300 as your next stop, right?
1,300 to 1,200 is where I'd be looking for your next stop.
And you really don't want to see it go below that because that's not the area you want to revisit.
You want to see it at least hold that range as far as ETH goes.
Arguably, and we discussed this this morning too, and this plays in the markets.
So the whole U.S., right, the whole U.S., and I'll pull up the Fed statistics on this.
They have actual data backing what I'm stating.
Basically, all savings in the U.S. are lower than they were prior to the COVID pandemic.
Think about that.
Think about that in your head.
That means most people right now are washed of cash.
They have no cash.
So if they have no cash, how is retail waiting?
How is retail selling?
How is retail buying?
They're not doing anything.
So if you see price action, it is coming from institutions.
It's coming from businesses.
It's coming from people who have money, all right?
So when prices are moving, that's not us moving price.
There's no more PVP.
We're all broke, at least by the statistics, right?
I'm just throwing it out there.
It's food for thought.
I know there's a lot of conversation around this or that, and, oh, retail's got to get
washed.
Retail's washed out.
They're done.
They're, like, literally toast.
You can look at the savings.
It's, look, savings is lower than 2008, all right?
And we all know what happened in 2008.
It was bad.
Basically, all the money floated to the top.
One, two percent gathered all of our liquidity, right?
Through different means.
Hiring prices, taking advantage of people, so on and so forth through a pandemic.
So overall, I think markets remain where they are.
I don't think there's any type of detrimental event that's going to pull them down outside
of, like, Europe warring with, like, Russia or something crazy like that.
I don't think what's going on over in, you know, Israel and so on and so forth, I don't
think any of that affects markets in the way that people think it does.
I will say oil reserves are low.
That's another thing to kind of pay attention to.
So definitely watch oil because oil can stay afloat because oil reserves are low.
I know there's a lot of discussion around bonds, right?
And I'll be real quick on bonds.
Bonds, personally, they're going to buy and sell them as they need to to keep that interest
rate from going higher.
A lot of people are sitting there thinking that all of a sudden bonds are going to just
take off.
That's not going to happen.
They're going to kind of hold it here, right?
So when I look at the bond rates and a lot of people are talking about the bonds, it's
I don't know.
I think that they sell.
So our government specifically takes advantage of other countries, right?
How do we do that?
We do that in the means of squishing them down until they get forced into buying our bonds,
right?
Basically buying our debt.
And a lot of countries have offloaded our debt.
And now they're getting into a point where they have to start buying our debt again to be
able to secure slash back up their own currencies again.
And so what I could see is if the government needs to, and you'll see this in the spike
before each drop on the books as far as the Fed offloading their overall, but basically
if the Fed needs to, they'll buy back in to push bond rates down.
And then they will force some other country through some kind of means of constraining them
in some way or another to end up buying the buying the debt so they could sell back into
So you're basically on your way back down on when it comes to the Fed balance sheet.
But at the same time, you can see balances and that's just the Fed kind of keeping rates
from going too high or becoming too unsustainable.
So the Fed's playing the long game on a lot of this.
We have to always entertain the fact too that cuts don't have to happen immediately and rapidly.
They can happen slowly and then rapidly, which means they can cut from five to four next
year and then from the following year, four to three, and then something breaks at three
just because rates have remained elevated for so long that it's put so much pressure on
the markets that we start seeing financial institutions get affected and so on and so forth.
It's very difficult for banks to compete for those rates.
So that's something to pay attention to.
Overall, though, markets look okay as far as big caps, small caps, scary.
Be careful with those.
But yeah, that's my thoughts on the market for now.
Thank you, William.
William, ladies and gentlemen, is not here to sell you, of course.
However, he's here to spread his knowledge on the market.
Sasha requested, and I'm going to overpass all the hands, and I'm going to pass it to Sasha
because I have a strong feeling in my gut Sasha wants to challenge William.
Sasha, what's going on?
Good to see you.
What's up?
What's up?
Listen, I never said I want to challenge.
I have only one thing that I disagree with him, and it's that he doesn't believe in gaps.
Everything else he shared today, I can't comment anything bad, to be honest.
And you know I like to shit on people.
The moment I can find one thing, I can shit on somebody, I'm going to do it.
So, so far, I can.
So, good takes, man.
And the only downside I can maybe argue is that you don't believe in gaps, and I still do.
That's the only thing.
But again, that's totally different topics.
Everything you said so far, and I was listening really close.
Kudos, man.
I agree on everything.
I can't even add anything.
So, you know, and I would like to shit, trust me, but there's actually nothing to say about that.
That's it.
We win.
Thank you, Sasha.
I appreciate you.
Awesome take, as always, Will.
Definitely.
Thank you so much for saying that.
And I want to make a quick, quick, brief announcement that my heart goes out to anybody dealing with anything that's going on right now in the world.
Don't want to get into it.
I will not turn this into a news media outlet.
I'm not that.
I don't need that clout that much to do that.
No shade.
Actually, yeah, this is shade, because a lot of you guys are here live for the wrong fucking reasons, and it's pissing me the fuck off.
But, however, I'm not going to act insensitive.
I understand there's people that are not okay right now, and my heart goes out to them.
My prayers go out to them.
But we're going to stay on topic.
And what I wanted to really say also was, Will, the fact that you mentioned the markets and then what's going on, thank you.
Because whether it's totally, totally, like, not that, you know, what's happening doesn't fully affect it.
Sure, there's some type of something.
But I think we, as people, like, watch YouTube and watch TikTok and all these shitheads, like, oh, look at this.
Oh, look at that.
The world.
Oh, the finance market.
Like, it doesn't, like, there's no confluence as quick as you would think.
So thank you for sharing that for people that may have been a little confused.
Mindless, good to see you.
What's going on?
You got the first take of the day.
What's going on?
Yo, what is up?
I am honored.
Hope you guys are well.
I'll be quick.
I wanted to kind of chime in to what Scott said earlier, but just add a little more flavor to that.
So he was touching on topics of Asia.
I've done a handful of work in PD and connections with various Web3 startups out there.
You will be amazed how different their take is on the entire space.
It is, like, not only geographically a world away.
It is a world of a world away when it comes to Web3 and what they want to do with this stuff.
You have cultural norms.
You have cultural associations, things that they like that they don't like, ways that they look at things.
It's so different, and they're going to outbuild and create in this space with a completely new lens.
What I'm trying to get at is it's very simple.
New audiences bring new views with them, and most of the time, none of that aligns with what's already out there in the audience.
What do I mean by that?
There's a fat chance that your bands are not going to move based on any of that stuff.
They will want new things that they create from their own grassroots movements that they associate to and they have an affiliation to,
and that's the stuff that's going to take off really well.
It won't be your, you know, NFTs, whatever you called as a collectible, because there's this thing with collectibles.
They are a one-generational thing, and everybody outside of that one generation has no interest in those collectibles.
It's why stamps, collectible stamps, go to zero, because when was the last time you have an affiliation to one, right?
It's the same reason with hogs and beanie babies and bottle caps and all that types of stuff.
That generation that grew up with it are the only ones that value it.
Everybody outside of that generation just simply doesn't care.
So you apply that to the crypto space.
A generation is any one four-year time span.
Any new audience that comes into the space in one bull market or wave, that's one generation.
It's also why most of the cryptos and currencies, cryptocurrencies in this space are a one-time thing.
They come and go with that one generation.
So a new audience comes in, they'll be interested in new things.
Just bear that in mind.
Go to where they're building and pay attention to what's going on there.
I appreciate you, bro.
That was some nice seasoning onto that, my brother.
Hey, Mr. Line, and then Cheddar.
Hey, what's up?
I'm on the other side of the fucking world, man.
So I like your spaces, but it means I have to stay up till 5 a.m.
So Profits comes in hard, gets that energy.
Scott gives a nice roundabout.
Will hits me with the numbers.
So you're going around the houses, man, but touching some really important topics.
And it's just I always like to do things in threes.
I also live in Asia.
I've been in Asia 10 years now.
So I've seen the financial growth.
I've seen the artistic growth.
I've been a fan of Asian culture as a child.
And coming back to something that Mindless said, you know, anime and manga didn't start anywhere else in China in Asia, right?
In the East.
And I think, like, the movements are very, very special and dedicated.
And I think you can tie that to the collections and the NFTs as well.
And what we were speaking about and what you started with with Web3 Exposed, I think we just got ourselves into this place where we're just, like, in a rut, man.
And I'm going to finish this quickly because I had a chat with Luca on our space a couple of weeks ago.
I also was on the space with EO and Nick earlier.
And just the one thing I wanted to say about and wrap up this whole conversation around exposure is that the 99% of people who are watching these builders build in public do not understand what it takes to build.
And what I mean by that is the logistical issues.
And let's just take Luca for one moment.
Like, if you're in marketing, if you're in logistics, e-commerce, it is the most competitive, aggressive market in the world.
So you've got black hackers.
You've got marketing agencies who are coming up with, you know, stuff every day.
You've got programmatic platforms that use different people's technology, ad formats that pull in different ads into different platforms.
What I'm trying to say in a roundabout way is, like, if you want to get to the top, you ain't staying clean, man, all the way.
And I don't give a shit who you are in any industry.
But to stop me rambling, because it is 5 o'clock in the morning, I just wanted to finalize and say, keep doing what you guys are doing, man, because I do actually really, really enjoy this show.
And I'll speak the truth for real.
So keep it going, man.
And just thank you for having me up for 10 minutes.
Oops, Mike was muted.
Appreciate you lying.
Cheddar, what's going on, fam?
And then my brother Peoples, just go after Cheddar, man.
Yo, what up?
Thanks for having me up.
Honestly, I just wanted to take it back to, like, the beginning when Profits was playing Drake.
That shit had me all hyped up.
And it reminded me.
I think I heard it here.
Everybody feels them.
Everybody's feeling themselves before Drake drops an album.
But honestly, everybody's really feeling themselves when Drake drops the album.
And who the fuck is going to be Drake and Web3?
But when they do, we'll figure it out.
I got no hot takes, no smart takes.
But I do want to add on to this and get you guys a Monday going.
But, yo, retweet the fucking room.
Web3 exposed.
Y'all know what the fuck to do.
If y'all ain't fucking following these three up here, y'all fucking up.
Other than that, I'm going to drop down because I got work to do.
I waited this long.
Yo, Cheddar, I remember my last point and why I stayed up so long.
And I do apologize.
Scott, you mentioned NFT 2.0, biometrics.
There are actually companies out here now in China taking biometric information.
They're decentralizing medical pieces of information to improve people's lives.
On blockchain technology, it's happening right now.
NFT 2.0 is happening.
So, I just wanted to kind of back you up on that and say that it is already beginning, brother.
But that is me, John.
No, I appreciate you, Ryan.
And, yeah, I just, like, my heart goes out to everyone that has a little issue with the stars arena.
But, like, for me, I'd rather talk about what you just said, Ryan.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just saw a doc.
Like, they could take the stethoscope and use AI, and it'll tell you what the heartbeat, you know, is doing.
And then they could put it on the blockchain so other people can compare other AIs to it.
So, it's, like, that's why I prefaced the whole thing about it's not tomorrow.
It's not next week, five years.
Like, it's today.
It is today.
Yeah, man.
So, it's literally today.
Like, when I saw that raw egg get peeled, too, I was, like, first, I mean, I knew there was a membrane in an egg.
But I didn't know you could peel a raw egg and then cut it open and stitch it.
So, it's, like, all these things that are intersecting not only just AI but biotech.
And then you're seeing Web3 now.
So, you're just, like, holy crap, I didn't even think about these three, you know, all getting along.
And it's, like, we said it last week.
Every day there's going to be a new sector, like, going hard in the paint, you know.
And it's just exciting, man.
And going into consumers, what we're doing now is we're taking heart rate data points.
CVT, cardiac vagal tone, resting heart rate tone.
We're mapping those against three, four, five million data points a month.
And now you can start to predict people's mental health conditions.
There's preventative mental health, anonymized, put on the chain.
And then, you know, your health insurer doesn't even need to see it.
So, there's even consumer-facing technologies that are already started, man.
But let me follow you up and hook you up, man, because we could talk a day on this shit.
But I'm going to step down now and just let you all do your thing.
But, yeah, I appreciate you, man.
I appreciate you, man.
What's going on?
Oh, hey, Will, you want to say something before we get to people's?
No, I just wanted to throw out there, like, people just need to stop fading everything, man.
Like, I know times are rough financially.
I get it.
But, like, you got to understand if you don't invest, what are you really gaining, right?
Like, man, like, you see things like Blackbird and it just makes me so freaking bullish, man.
And I brought it up the other day, like, not too long before all this money got secured, right?
I mean, the company itself is flawless in my eyes.
Like, there's nothing you could really say that would make it bad.
Why?
Because they're not trying to get you to buy the crypto.
Do you know how they're monetizing this more than likely?
I don't know 100%, but I have a pretty good idea.
Is they're probably taking the data from the restaurants you go to, actually able to give that and sell that to advertisers, right?
They're taking that data.
They're paying you for the data, too.
You're getting paid for it.
The restaurant's getting paid for the data.
You're getting paid for the data.
And then the data's getting sold to somebody and you're getting a piece of the pie.
That's how a lot of this monetization is going to work out.
It's going to work out in the people's favor rather than the conglomerates that are basically just taking 100% advantage of you, stealing your information and selling it for 100% profit.
At least you are getting something with these apps.
I don't care if you look at it like 3% or 2% or 20%.
You're getting something back.
Like, these other conglomerates, Google and all these other guys, look, I'm not a hater at Google.
They provide a lot of jobs to people in the U.S. and other countries.
But at the same time, you can be rewarded for your data if you're willing to give it up, right?
And that's what it is at the end of the day.
And it also alternates the amount of food that's being wasted, bro.
There's so many wins, bro.
But, man, that's the way to look at it.
Hey, go ahead, people.
What's going on, my brother?
Hey, what's going on, Scott, Profits, Will?
I really hope everybody's having a blessed day, always cooking.
Let me take a look at my notes real quick because, again, you guys always got that fire.
So what Scott was talking about earlier about digital collectibles.
So I was raised – I'm an 80s baby raised in the 90s, right?
And for me, like Pogs and all that collectibles that we had back in the day brings a lot of nostalgic feelings.
And I really do think that NFT 2.0 is going to start moving towards that genre.
I don't think we're going to be trading assets the way we're used to back in the bull.
I think we're going to start actually doing things because we want to do things with our assets, which is going to bring me to my next point.
I love the way you guys brought up the way Asia is actually going to be dominating a lot of the IP that's going to get bought up.
But something that I think we're missing is on the European side where we know a lot of fashion comes out.
I do believe that there's going to be especially derivative arts that were put onto the blockchain.
And we all know once it's on the blockchain, it never disappears.
I really do feel that there's going to be a lot of companies out there.
And I'm not talking about huge companies, even little mom and pop shops like Scott.
But, you know, here in the Bay Area, bro, a lot of people don't rock, you know, the latest fashion when it comes to like what's at Ross or blah, blah, blah.
But they're rocking what with the little guy, the mom and pop shop selling.
I really do believe that that's going to be the next demographics, that a lot of these companies are going to start buying this beautiful artwork that's just left on the blockchain.
And we're going to see a big boom in fashion.
That's why I'm so excited about Web3 right now.
Like that's what the people's market is.
I truly believe that there are demographics for certain art.
Like, for example, my wife, she does not consume cannabis whatsoever, but she loves the art.
She loves the culture.
So when we go clothes shopping, we go to a head shop here in the Bay Area.
And there's many other people like that as well.
And I think we just need to start better understanding our demographics within the space.
And we're going to have a better understanding on how to build a business.
I'm telling you, bro, there's no R&D teams in this motherfucker.
Operations, R&D, all the regular stuff you have in business, right?
Hey, Will, I know you want to say something and then we'll get to Mars, man.
I appreciate you having me.
I have so long, Mars.
Oh, man, look, you got me going with the fashion talk.
Look, I've been I've been digging.
I'm telling you, look, I got some sites.
I'm going to post them later.
OK, but their fashion's already here, man.
It's already here.
It's already on the blockchain.
A lot of people just don't realize it yet.
Like there's there's so many like exclusives you can get just by holding certain NFTs and so on and so forth through through name brands, through name brands.
By the way, I just want to put that out there and even in art.
Right.
You're seeing a lot of fashion photography and so on and so forth moving into the space, too.
Like it's it's absolutely insane.
I'm more I'm more of a junkie on the art side, but like I've definitely been dabbling in the fashion side.
Like I've been I've been digging for those gym one on ones, man.
I tried to bid on this Jay-Z.
It was like it was an NFT that was created.
But it was like an NFT art one of one of Jay-Z.
Man, the thing looked it looked sick, man.
Thirty five hundred.
I tried to get it for somebody up in me last last minute.
And that was like three, four months ago, I think.
And I looked it up the other day and I think it's sitting at like two hundred thousand in price.
Like people don't even understand the value of one of ones.
They constantly want to chase, you know, specific things.
But there's there's so much value in the art side and and in the fashion side.
And I think like if you guys dig deep, just a little bit deeper, you can find projects that are doing fashion that you can get exclusives to and get discounts on at the same time.
I just wanted to pick it back off that really quick.
So imagine also on the like us as consumers, those of us who are actually out here trying to build businesses as entrepreneurs, like, for example, back in like 2019, when I was first shopping for NFTs, I actually didn't know what Discord or Twitter was.
I was going to artists on Instagram and I was going straight to their open sea and I was just picking up one of one art from artists that are still in my wallet to this day, because I know one day I will be using it to build.
And it's not just one brand I'm building.
Again, it's many different demographics I'm trying to target.
And I guess, again, I don't mean to beat that dead horse, but when you're shopping for NFTs, it's not always about is that NFT going to moon?
Is it going to make me my bag right away?
But let's start looking at the assets a little bit differently.
Like me personally, I love going to Instagram still and checking out one of one artists.
To me, that's the best.
It could be used for tapestries.
It could be used for mugs.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
So, again, I didn't mean to interrupt, Scott.
I just really wanted to piggyback off that because IP is something that I am super passionate about.
It's why I'm in the space.
And I'm just really glad that you guys always touch on it because it's really important.
I appreciate you, people.
What's going on, Mars?
Yo, what's going on, Jim, everybody?
I want to say shout out to Profits, Will, Scott, half of the space.
Happy Monday, everybody.
Yeah, dude, IP is real.
I don't know who was talking about this earlier, but I just want to bring up the example of Superman.
It's been mount since the 30s.
That IP is still relevant, still making studios lots of money.
So, I guess it just depends.
Fads die.
I don't think we're going to be having Tamagotchis back.
But maybe.
There might be a resurgence.
Coin collectors are out there.
And, yeah, they're mostly old people.
What?
I just bought a Supreme Tamagotchi.
Tamagotchi ain't going nowhere.
Don't worry.
That's what I was going to say.
Tamagotchi hard wallet.
There's going to be small sex.
Yeah, it won't be mass consumers anymore, but there will always be little pockets of people.
And they'll pay a lot more than, you know, the majority of the market did back in the day.
But, yeah, just wanted to say that.
Hope everyone has a good week.
Yo, I appreciate you.
Yeah, no problem.
Whoa, what?
Zero, go ahead.
Hey, Zero, cool.
I'm Crash Override.
Yo, you got it.
You win the prize.
Yeah, you have three young and don't know about that movie.
You young and don't know about that movie.
Look, Zero goes.
Yo, and it goes back even further than that.
I mean, this is a reference.
Anyway, I came up to SHILL, a fidgetal storefront that we built over the summer on base for a gallery in Chicago called I'm Not Art, which was the first NFT gallery in Chicago.
So if you're in the crowd from Chicago, you know this.
And they are all about fidgetal merch and the metaverse and making sure that you can use your digital goods across different experiences.
And they've been representing NFT artists, IRL to URL since the beginning of this thing.
And it's really exciting to, like, you know, help them do that.
And then we did it on an open source piece of software that you guys can check out.
If you see the project that I linked below, I'm not trying to sell you nothing.
It's all open source.
It's all meant for us to just build our own storefronts and build our own IP controls, because that's really what it's about.
Music is IP.
Art is IP.
It's all about just taking control of that away from the right-click-save-as motherfuckers who have been destroying our likelihood for a long time, you know.
And I kid, it's really just about making things more interoperable, create more revenue opportunities, more licensing opportunities, and things like that for creatives, and then putting creatives back in charge of their fucking provenance and their work.
And that's what, to me, Web3 is.
So I just wanted, and NF2 2.0.
So I came up to share that, follow if you like it, and more to come.
Yeah, we love Fidgetal.
He's a friend of the show.
We were doing so good today.
We were doing so fucking good today, Bad Brothers.
You're staying on mute for the time being.
Zero.
I'll invoice you later.
Thank you for shilling.
Appreciate you, as always.
Looks like it's 5, 10 p.m. Eastern.
Everybody is now tuned in to Web3 Exposed.
We go live every single day, 3.45 p.m. Eastern, except Wednesdays.
Thank you all for being here.
Like, comment, repost the room for awareness.
Alistair, what's up?
The mic is yours.
All right, GM, prophet, GM Scott.
Mindless, I see you.
Actually, my initial account was actually suspended for some reasons, you know.
But I actually came up because the conversation was quite interesting.
And somebody talked about data and the Web2 Firms actually harvesting data and selling it and all that, using your data and stuff like that.
But the truth of the matter, I want, because I and some of my colleagues and friends, we are having these conversations earlier on with regards to data, farming, and the rest of them.
Is it in its entirety bad?
Because the truth of the matter is, sometimes we look at this, okay, we go into protocols or we go into sites and the rest of them, and we accept terms and conditions which we hardly do read.
And it's obvious, though, right?
We don't read these terms and conditions, and we do accept them.
And it now makes us, okay, we have actually given our data unknowing to us.
And another thing I would like to say is, these data that have been farmed or these data that have been taken away from us and been sold and all that, sometimes we have these conversations and we don't even search these things before they pop up on our phones and they come helping us.
So the question for me, and it's something that I would love us to actually look into, is the fact that this information that I've been taken away from us, are they bad in its entirety?
Because something about Web3 is, we all say, oh, data farming is actually not a good thing, and it's, though we can actually see the negative sides of it, obviously.
But we, I can't say that it's in its entirety bad, because these things actually help.
It gives seamless operation.
Imagine for a fact, and this was a conversation I was having with my friends.
Imagine for a fact that you want to look for something, or you're thinking about something, and before you know it, or before you think about it, this thing actually pops up on your phone, and it helps you actually navigate properly or easily.
Will you say that that has, though you can actually say, to an extent, there is something like social engineering and the rest of them, which is another topic of its own, or another thing that actually we could actually look at.
But the truth of the matter is, it's data farming, with regards to Web2 firms, what they do, is it in its entirety bad?
Because, trust me, there are some advantages which our data that has been farmed are actually being utilised for, and has actually given us easy access to actually get into some opportunities,
or some things that normally we would not have gotten access to, and made life actually seamless for us.
So, it's something I actually want us to look at, and because I just had to say this, because a lot of people are actually talking about data farming as something bad, something, or we have to monetise our data and all that, and make profits from our data.
Tell us there, it's just going to get, bro, AI entered the chat, you know what I mean?
So, it's like, dude, like, I agree, bro, like, it's way beyond, like, being mad about it.
And this is why I laugh about a lot of people, like, that swear we're going to go to have this decentralised Web3 world.
So, man, that shit is sailed, you know what I mean?
Like, look at just today, we covered the OpenSea guy.
Like, we can't even trust our own people, like, our own people that are sitting to the left and the right of us.
We just, this guy running a $60 million run down, you know, at the company I used to work at.
Nobody knew.
Like, this guy has another Twitter account.
Wait till they cover Magic Eden shit.
Like, this guy has another Twitter account.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, so, Alistair, I think it just gets, like, data, right?
Well, let's just stick on this point.
Like, think about what happens when that new, I don't want to call it a phone, but whatever OpenAI is building with the Apple designer, right?
Like, imagine what that thing is going to sweep up and soak up and see and then the Ray-Ban glasses and from meta.
I mean, we could just go on and on and on.
I think, yeah, there's bad parts about it, like Alistair's saying, but there's the great parts, like you said, too, Alistair.
So, I agree with you, bro.
Like, I'm off the – dude, you have to scan your eyeball to go into the stores in the hood now.
Like, so, like, what do you – like, people, you know, you live in any – like, you already know, bro.
Like, so, it's like, if you're going to have to get your eye scanned to go to a grocery store even now and it says green or red and that's in America, like, stop trying to be the secret.
Like, I don't know, like, everyone thinks you're, like, so protected, like, you know, but did you really buy that cell phone with cash?
Did you go – like, did you really do all this stuff and have no traces?
No, you didn't, bro.
Like, you didn't even sell drugs, but you all of a sudden have a trap phone that you bought with cash that you only checked your Twitter with?
No, you don't.
No, I already know you don't.
So, Alistair, bro, I'm glad you brought this up because I'm so tired of, like, I'm the secret docs.
Like, bro, we've already seen the most secretive, quote-unquote, people.
All you got to do is throw a lawsuit at their ass and their info is out.
So, I mean, it doesn't, like – I just don't agree with the decentralized secretive.
That's over with, man.
It's way over.
Well, the thing is, Scott, is, like, I think what he's speaking more to is, like, it should be okay for them to take data.
It should be all right for them to farm your data and sell it.
And to a degree, I would say yes, and to a degree no.
And I don't mean, like, you should be some decentralized incel.
Like, I'm just going to be clear about that.
I think it's more like, you know, if you take my data, I should get something back for it.
Why?
Because you're putting me in inherent risk.
What are you putting me in inherent risk of?
Well, if you take my data and you have my name, you take my data and you have my address,
and somebody wants to take that information and utilize it, you know,
whether it be for a hack or a way to impersonate me in some way or another,
I think in those scenarios – I think mine sets off mute.
In those scenarios, you're putting the person at risk, right?
And I don't mean – I mean that your data is not going to be out there.
100% is going to be.
But I'm saying if you take risks, just like you do in the stock market if you're investing,
you should get rewards, right?
And what should those rewards?
It means that if a company builds some advertising company for selling your information to them,
they should give you 2%, 3% of that.
They should give you 1% or 2% of that.
Like, directly towards your information that they sold, right?
It doesn't have to be towards everybody's information.
Your value of your information as its own.
And I think a lot of people don't look at that.
And that's what I'm stating with the app that came out is, like, it is giving that.
It's giving that look at you.
Hey, we're going to take your information probably, but we're going to give you something back for it.
And as far as the algo in saying that, hey, well, sometimes it suggests good things, yeah.
Sometimes it suggests bad things too.
And that means you're going to start getting spams on your email because they have your email info.
And you're going to start getting random emails that you just don't even care about or are not even interested in,
maybe politically driven or whatever, trying to tell you to go vote, trying to tell you to go do this, trying to tell you to go do that.
Hey, check out this new discount here.
I don't care about that stuff.
Like, if I care about it, I'll research it myself.
I don't need somebody to suggest to me what I should buy and what I should not buy.
That's kind of my thing with that.
Like, again, like, data farming is going to be a thing.
There's no way around it.
But I think in the end, when you're putting people at risk, like – and I say risk because it's your information.
They're putting – the more it's out there, the easier it is to take your identity, to take you and go file for a credit card,
to go file for a home loan or some weird stuff that people do when they steal people's identity, right?
The more it's out there, the more you're out there, the more risk you're at when it comes to data.
And it's not just advertisers that buy data.
There are hackers that buy data, right?
There are incels that buy data.
There's a lot of people that buy data.
So we have to understand there is risk in that market.
And if there's risk, you should be rewarded 100%.
That's all I'm saying.
Like, again, capitalism is –
Well, I mean, I'll play devil's advocate to where, you know, I mean, the platforms would say that, you know,
the competition you're getting is, you know, using the platform for free, right?
So I guess that's their stand.
And then also, I guess, on the security side would be – I mean, the data normally you get – so you have Facebook and everything.
They're selling, you know, data to advertisers, right?
The big risk, what you're pointing out, too, is the data, you know, hacked and collected through things like, you know, I mean, the LinkedIn hacks, target hacks.
And those all get bundled and sold on the dark web.
And what they'll do is then they'll use that information to – let's say they have your phone number and your email.
Well, okay, is this a Twitter guy?
Can I use this info to sim swap him now or, you know, a major company?
Can I now use this info to blackmail someone or call them up and social engineer them into giving me some information or let me hack into some system?
So, I mean, yeah, that's definitely the risk.
But I would say in – from the company standpoint, you know, who are collecting this data, their claim would be that, you know, you're getting the benefit in a free Facebook or whatever and not having to pay for that.
Yeah, and I agree with that 100%, bad brothers.
That's why I said, like, 2%, 3%, whatever your value is to them, like, they should give that back in a sense because they're basically farming for free, right?
I've worked directly at Google.
Like, the only overhead cost they have is racks, right?
Data centers are racks.
Now, granted, there's a lot of security there and stuff like that.
But, like, when you're talking about – like, they're paying nothing for the software.
Where they're paying probably barely anything for cloud service and so on and so forth.
Like, they do everything themselves.
They're all in-house.
So, like, their overhead costs, it's there from the people's side, from the employee's side.
But from the running side, it's not really that bad, right?
Like, when you look at what they do and what they make, I'll put it in that term.
And that's what I'm stating.
Again, there's never a scenario where it's like, well, we should cut 50-50.
No, because they're doing all the work.
They're setting up all the racks.
They're setting up all the stations, so on and so forth.
But should there be something there?
I think there should be some kind of – or at least – here, I'll put it this way.
I'll make it even juicier, the conversation.
All right, let's say you never get hacked.
Then you don't get nothing.
But you do get hacked, right?
Have some insurance in place to protect that person or at least some money set aside to protect that person if that hack came from you as far as a company.
I was just thinking the same exact thing when we were going through this, like some insurance fund for that.
But, I mean, there are actually – on the regulation front, I mean, the SEC just put into a new cybersecurity rule that basically now management is basically liable or at least responsible for being, what do you call, knowledgeable in their IT environment and cyber risk.
And then reporting that in their annual disclosure, that's not going into effect until the next filing season basically.
December 15th, anyone who had the year end after that will go into the next annual reports.
Oh, and the other part of that is now that went into place September 15th is that if you're a company and you get hacked, you are, you know, liable, you know, subject to fines or whatever if you don't report that hack to the public within four days.
So that's their responsibility now.
I still think they should be accountable, especially if they're storing information, right?
If you're not actively storing, it's different.
But Facebook's been hacked and the data that's been breached has been stored data.
Google's been hacked.
The data that's been breached has stored data.
They should not be storing people's data without some kind of insurance at least.
No, yeah, and I mean, they'll get subject to penalties, but I mean, when you see these penalties, it's always like, does that really affect them?
But to your point, like if you're storing sensitive information, should, you know, a company be held liable if that then gets hacked and then taken by other people due to their gross negligence 100%?
Yeah, and all you just said right now, actually still, I'm actually not calling out what we're trying to actually do, the social files and the rest of them, incentivizing people that owns data, giving out their data and the rest of them.
What I'm just saying is, because I hear conversations around people saying data farming, it's actually, it's a bad thing or they actually talk about it like it's a bad thing or it's not so good.
But the truth of the matter is, there are some advantages to data farming, regardless of who actually finds the data, obviously.
And it has actually brought some seamless opportunities that we never would have had those opportunities of getting.
So, data farming is something that I could say has its advantage, a lot of advantage, but the fact you said like an insurance policy, definitely an insurance policy should be actually put in place.
So, I'm bullish and don't wonder.
You got it, people.
So, I just kind of wanted to backpedal back to what Scott was saying about DeFi.
So, when we were in the 90s, early 2000s, and we saw the wild, wild west with the cannabis industry, we were seeing a lot of these cannabis clubs getting hit with moldy cannabis, actually strains that weren't even strains that were marketed as, like, for example, somebody's asking for a sativa, but they're really getting an indica.
Well, all that stuff actually hurt the market.
A lot of people were getting not only hurt financially, but hurt health-wise.
The reason why I'm bringing this up is I really feel here in Web3, the thought of DeFi is beautiful, right?
The fact that we own everything that we store.
But that's done.
And I love the way Scott said that.
And the reason why it's done is because in order for us to move as an industry, all these events like FTX and what happened with Stars Arena, it's going to make people less and less wanting to come into the space.
And if we really want mass adoption, people need to feel secure.
And if you don't feel secure, nobody's going to put money into our industry.
I know a lot of people hate on Solana, but that's why I feel that blockchain is going to thrive once mass adoption really does come, because they are centralized.
And I know a few years back when their whole platform went down and we couldn't even mint projects out.
Like, it took literally two months for one project to get mint out just because Solana was down itself.
But it gave them an opportunity to go back to the drawing board and really understand what it's going to take to have all these people get onto their platform.
And I think that's where we're at right now, everybody.
I know, again, we love the thought of DeFi, but just like in the cannabis industry, without regulations, the Fed is not going to let us make money.
The Fed is not going to allow people to keep getting scammed and drained.
And the more we get hurt, the faster these regulations are going to come.
And that's my honest opinion.
Well, I'll push that back on it a little.
First off, the Fed doesn't give a shit about anybody getting hacked or burned.
They only care about their own power and making sure that we don't fucking take over the financial system.
However, to your point, I do think, because I am very much a decentralization privacy maxi, but I do think there are different risks and incentives to different people.
For example, grandma wanted an NFT.
There's a project that someone was telling me about where, like, you know, the concept would be they would, you know, you can lock your NFTs.
I'm not sure the project has control over that or if the user, but let's just say the project has some control over that, right?
Now, to the grandma, you know, that might be good.
To someone like me, I'd go, wait, if these companies have access to lock your wallet so it can't get, you know, stolen, they also then are subject to the U.S. government subpoenaing them and freezing your funds through that avenue, which is always still a risk.
So, to what Will's saying, it's all about different risk and different extended structures.
To me, the idea of government coming in and taking control of your funds is the biggest risk.
But to many people, you know, that doesn't even enter their heads, but, you know, that's why we have Bitcoin and that's why Bitcoin always needs to be there as it is.
For other things like Solana and stuff, yeah, I mean, I'm always open to people, you know, as I said, I'm a decentralization maxi, but when we talk about like NFT projects and stuff, it's like, yeah, no, you can't have a DAO running some of these things.
You need to make quick decisions and stuff, just like, you know, the corner store on your thing can't be a DAO or whatever.
You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, there's always going to be, as long as the base layer is decentralized, whether it be Bitcoin or something else, it's always fine with me.
What people want to do on top of that and what choices people make, what projects they want to engage with, that's fine.
But in terms of what those base layers are, that's what's important to me.
And I think to, you know, people's point that, yeah, people are going to gravitate more, maybe to some more, you know, safer, if you want to use that word, structures in the future for mass adoption.
But, you know, to me, the most important thing is always having the option on the other end.
But, yeah.
No, I agree with Bad Brothers.
I think that decentralization is important.
It's important for me, too.
And decentralization does not mean anonymity.
I think I said it right.
Say it 10 times fast.
Bruh.
And anonymity.
Yeah, okay, I'm bad at it.
Anonymity.
Yeah, there you go.
But, yeah, so it doesn't mean that you can be anonymous, right?
It simply means that the government can't touch your funds.
That's it.
Like, there's almost impossible for them to touch your funds.
I can tell you, if you're in USDC, they can 100% freeze your funds, right?
And I believe USDT is the very same scenario.
Bitcoin, I would arguably say, would be the only thing in the entire space.
Don't even look.
You can argue, but you're going to be arguing with a wall, all right?
Bitcoin's the only thing.
The only thing.
Why is Bitcoin the only thing?
Well, I'm a narrow.
And that one gives you anonymity.
But, yeah, for the most part.
Yeah.
And, well, I mean for decentralization.
Because there's nobody running Bitcoin.
Bitcoin runs itself, right?
Every other project has a founder, has a team, or something that can, you know, interrupt slash mess up the contract, slash do whatever they want to, if they need to, to stop whatever you're in.
So, Bitcoin's the only thing.
I mean, I just, I know some of you are going to be like, ew, Bitcoin, I get it, look, but I'm just telling you how it works, all right?
No project founders, no project runner.
So, at the end of the day, you know, Bitcoin is what it is.
So, yes, if you're looking for that decentralization away from government, something that's uninterruptible, it's going to be Bitcoin, right?
And that's, and the government knows this, and this is why they don't like it, but they can't do anything about it.
Whereas other projects have founders that they can go after, they have teams they can go after, they have funds they can go after, they have laws that they can throw in their face.
There's nobody, no laws to throw in Bitcoin's face.
Who are you going to throw the law at?
Nobody.
Now, some of you may be like, oh, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Look, look.
Satoshi Nakamoto is anonymous.
No, no, it's Greg Wright.
He's still out there, right?
Greg Wright.
I remember when people were talking about the, oh, look, the account tweeted after five years, guys.
This is Satoshi.
Okay, yeah, he's waking up.
He's going to go sell all of his Bitcoin.
You guys are going to zero.
Yes.
People don't think when they say things, man.
But, yeah, so, again, it comes down to any project is at, you know, at the whim of the government outside of Bitcoin.
So, yes, if you're looking for that scenario where you can separate yourself from government, it would be Bitcoin as a whole, right?
And that would just be your store of value.
And, you know, when you look at prices right now and how degraded they are, some of you may go deeper.
Look, look.
I'm going to tell you, yes, anything can go deeper.
But you have to understand when you've had a substantial drawdown with these things, man.
Like, oh, man.
I don't know.
It's crazy to me that, you know, a lot of this stuff ends up kind of circling back into, like, all these theories and theory crafting.
The reality is, is, like, I like the way a lot of the space is going.
And this is something we talked about months ago, too, Scott and Profits, which is basically where we're going to see projects move towards more real-world use.
We're going to see NFT projects and NFTs move towards more real-world use.
And I think this is something we're going to see more and more of.
This is the evolution of the blockchain.
It's the evolution of crypto.
And I think as time goes on, digital money will be the money.
It just takes time and effort, and it takes adoption, right, at the end of the day.
Once the government kind of figures out and all the people that are, like, 90-plus that, you know, can't think past, you know, those shows they used to watch back in, you know, 1960.
Once they're out of office and we get new blood in there, I think at the end of the day, we'll start to see more adoption in this space and a lot more understanding.
Just not enough people have tried it.
That's really the reality of it.
Our government's so old.
I'll be surprised they don't all die at the same time.
And that's no wishes on their death.
I just want to be clear about that.
I'm just stating, like, their ages are very close and similar to each other.
But that's just my thoughts on a lot of that.
This just in.
Scott never uses a soundboard.
No, I know, but I'm really annoyed.
So that's not with Will or anyone.
But with the news, I'm about to say, like, it's frustrating, right?
Yo, Zero just made a post.
Check it out.
I'm going to put it to the top.
So basically, I knew this was going to happen.
And we said this because of political season.
So, yep.
The algorithm is favoring, angry, you know, just, that's why our timelines are kind of
cooking right now.
And I knew, I thought something was up, but I was like, nah, I don't know about algorithm.
Why are we shocked?
Like, and I knew this is, like, look, it's almost November, right?
That one year, you know, the ramp up.
And it just sucks because now, you know, what happens when that happens?
It's creative, gets suppressed, you know, the cool stuff gets just dragged to the bottom.
And, yeah, like, group, basically group beef just performs.
Like, literally, Zero's post got the numbers and, you know, the data to back it up.
Yeah, man, it just sucks, man.
So there's not a better time to, you know, strap down and keep it loyal to the soil, as
I like to say.
It's, now, man, this sucks, dude.
That's whack.
That's whack, man.
More reason to go on LinkedIn.
I thought that was existing.
I feel like I heard that when the algorithm first got launched.
This is why I don't care about growth hackers, ex-monetization, fucking experts, because if
you go look at what their content is about, it's provoking content, purposely pissing people
off, purposely trying to sound like an asshole, similar to these shitheads that are 24 hours,
you know, kicking, streaming for a deal, saying the most outlandish, disgusting shit for attention
and for views.
It's the same shit.
It's literally the same shit.
And you go, and it's like, oh, what's the skill?
What's the strategy?
Be an insult?
Be a piece of shit on the timeline?
Absolutely not.
I don't give a...
A16Z is not about to hire me because I got 100,000 likes on my fucking tweet, bro.
Sorry, and if y'all not interested in getting hired or working with caliber companies of
that, excuse me, companies of that caliber, then continue to do what the fuck you're doing
and fall into the bullshit.
Like, fall into the spaces with 10,000 plus people and 9,700 of them are bots.
Like, cool.
Stay over there.
Like, you'll miss out on the bull run.
You'll miss out on the money and all the opportunities.
And then in three years, you're going to be pissed off, talking shit, crying, because
you were the one fucking adding to whatever the fuck they're putting out, and you're
the reason why it got bigger.
Mars, go ahead.
Yeah, thanks.
No, for sure.
It's just like, it leads nowhere.
Anyways, Will, to your point about the politicians dying at one time, when, bro?
Yeah, hopefully.
But, you know, not.
But the best part about this whole space, and not the best part, maybe, but one good
part is the immutableness of the blockchain.
I think there's a lot of positive things that are going to come from that, especially
with our data, putting it all out there so all the companies aren't doing it on the
back end where they take all our data and then they, you know, make plays on that in
secret.
And then they try to tell us what we like.
Like, now, whatever we like is just going to be there, and everyone gets a fair chance
to use that data, and we all get to see it, too, you know, so we can make decisions based
on it instead of being manipulated through propaganda or advertising, as it's called.
What's up, Truck?
Go ahead, man.
Yo, Prophet, Scott, Will.
Long time, long time.
How's everybody doing?
But I popped up here because Will said something that kind of, I just, I had to, because I
know that, Prophet, I know you drug me up on stage and was like, yo, talk about it.
And I was like, no, I'm a little scared.
I'm a little scared.
But I have a real-world, you know, use case project that I'm working on.
If anybody that follows me sees that, I do talk about a lot of the different things as
far as being a truck driver and, you know, the trucking industry.
So I'm building a DAO for truck drivers for us to be able to unionize.
And it's a lot of work, but I'm doing it all by my damn self because I'm passionate in
this shit.
But real-world use case is the way.
Like, if you're not, if you're not applying any of this knowledge that you have right
now to some real-world shit, you're not going to make it.
All of these drama spaces that have for bullshit is there to distract you.
And what my mother would say, what my grandmother would say, what, what all, what the water boy's
mother would say, that's the devil trying to distract you from your greatness.
So don't pay no attention to these distractions.
Just keep doing what you're doing because the less I stay off of this app, the less I stay
the more work I get done.
So big shout out to all of y'all, man.
I just had to come up here because I sent y'all, all three of y'all, I think I sent y'all
something to just check out and tell me what, just give me your honest feedback on it, man.
Like, I'm still here learning.
I'm building.
But like, shit, Rome won't build overnight.
You know what I mean?
And I'm willing to take the time and, you know, do this shit step by step because it's
bigger than me.
It's for my brothers and sisters out here that's, you know, grinding 70 miles an hour,
14 hours a day.
They miss their family.
So, you know, hopefully I'll be able to get this thing up and running and everything,
you know, squeaky clean for everybody in the next couple months.
But until then, I'm going to keep my head down and stay the fuck away from these ignorant
spaces because you're not going to get a job in Web 3 because you got a million likes.
Hold that right, brother.
Thank you for that.
Scott, let me ask you a question.
Let's imagine something.
Let's all do a test.
Excuse me, not a test.
Let's do an exercise here.
Everybody, unless you're driving, close your eyes, okay?
Imagine the Bitcoin chart.
The Bitcoin chart is trading at $77,000 a Bitcoin.
Ethereum is trading at $6,700 a coin.
The timeline is timelining.
And Twitter is twittering.
Scott, what do you think everybody is talking about at that time?
What they're trying to build in AI or for the Apple lens?
Like the meta?
Yeah, like what do you think the topic is?
What do you think everybody is paying attention to?
Oh, for sure.
I mean, yeah, it's already on the wall.
Grifters alive.
What's going on?
Yeah, the new grift will be, yo, we can do this.
We're building this LLM.
We're building this kind of new tech with AI.
We're doing shit in, like we said earlier, biotech.
But it'll be like a dream like that.
And, you know, hopefully everybody will be a little bit more conscious.
And I think it'll be more like access past things.
Like, you know, it won't be like, like if you're doing biotech, it's not going to be
like a bunch of syringes or a medical doctor.
Like, you know, I think it'll just be like, yo, you get this.
Like, remember the DNA DAO thing?
I forget what the name of that was.
But, yeah, I think it's going to be all.
And I think a lot of people, I said this in KB space last night because there's a lot
of smart people that were talking.
And like half the stage was like really bullish on NFT 1.0.
And, you know, I just, you know, how I feel about that.
Yeah, I just, I think people will be bullish on having money, especially with a lot.
Like, you hear what Will covers every day.
Like, this shit ain't going away, yo.
Like, wait till commodities start fucking like, yo, wheat was just like the short, like
the least amount of wheat we've ever produced, like ever in it.
Like, in a long, long, long, long, long ass time.
So, like a lot of these things, like we don't feel the pinch here, but ask that Kenyan farmer
that we covered that's going to use blockchain technology, like how it's affecting them.
So, yeah, I feel like this next run, this is just totally my guess.
I think people will be bullish on money first, like just, you know, stacking and cashing out.
And then the other part will be, I think people will grift with AI and obviously whatever,
like that spin of AI is going to be at that point.
That will be like the, everyone's end goal instead of the metaverse.
And then I think Apple Lens will be kind of popping, you know, obviously by then.
So, it's going to be like, oh, we can do it.
Apple, Apple AR, like you can, you know, I always joke around, you go and go inside of
Whole Foods and your NFT comes out like the cracker box.
It'll be like a bunch of stuff.
Basically, a lot of people trying to be, I think like what Tetra is trying to do, you know,
shout out to Tetra and that whole team.
Like, they really like trendsetting, in my opinion, like just doing shit.
We just doing shit, having cool people around us.
I'm bullish on that.
They're like, you know, like they're just doing stuff, same stuff they did in Web 2.
But I think definitely if that number you're talking about, profits happens in the next,
we'll say 24 months, it'll be like one of these little, these hot technologies will be
the new grift.
But I think a lot of people will be smart and just want to cash out, like, and keep the
money.
Like, people like Will, like, Will, I ain't speaking on you, but I know how smart you are.
I don't see my boy Will just going, I'm holding the round trip again.
Like, everyone's hella smart, especially like, like some of us, this was our second run.
But think about like people like Will and others that this is like, bro, they've been around
this block all the time, like clear value tax and all these dudes that we watch, like
they've done been around this and it's the same thing every time.
So I don't see people like that are smarter than myself, like, like the Wills and the
Wizard of Soho's.
I don't see them like, like, yeah, I don't like, I see them getting some money.
And then NFT 2.0 will be like what we talked about earlier.
It'll be all these, you know, whether it's philanthropy, but there'll still be scammers,
right?
So you got to be careful just because it's, we're calling it 2.0.
All these projects will still like have shady ways, right?
They're not going to go.
I mean, remember the turtle funds, the Marine cleanups and all the other bull, like how
much of that stuff even really got done?
I would say 90% didn't get done, but yeah, probably started out a little long winded.
I just want everyone to be on the lookout because you already know what time it is.
And this is why I don't believe that as much as I believe in PFPs themselves, like for
gaming and, and, and, you know, uh, having a digital identity, I just don't think that
the tribalism part follows that.
Right.
I just think if a game comes out like GTA, everyone's going to have a cool GTA, you know,
one from the game, it's not going to be like, yo, mine's like a million dollars because of
the traits or whatever.
Maybe your traits in the game are different, you know, your gun skins and all that.
But, uh, I just don't see that, that, you know, my PFPs were 300,000 because what you
heard, um, profits, your homie, uh, sorry, uh, musty cow, right.
That, that came up like musty cow goat legend.
So it's like, when you heard what he said, it, it would have to be something wild for him
to like, you know, buy an asset to, to be able to get access to something.
So unless it's like the new Soho house where you get massage, your feet rubbed and all this
other stuff too, like, I don't know what pays for that.
Maybe a golf, some people like maybe Pebble beach, make something, you know what I mean?
Where you get some crazy ass exclusive experience and that, that ones.
But then again, that's access and membership again, but my bad was so long with it.
No, you're totally okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to web three exposed.
We'll be back after these messages.
The NFT 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.
They're right.
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?
They haven't sold any stuff yet.
I'm not even sure chewy.com has that valuation.
How the fuck does web three exposed have the best community in web three without an NFT?
Hey, profit real quick.
I don't want to, everybody already knows how old I am and all of our, we were there when
Gary's talking about my mom, I shot this video.
Yeah.
No problem.
You're going to laugh.
Cause mama food brought it up the other day.
I already told you, but she's like, yo, this reminds me when I used to yell at you to
get off the fucking internet in like 95, 96, when you're a little kid.
She'd have to unplug my little 14 K modem that I had all the way from my room to the
kitchen where the phone plug was.
And she goes, yo, I haven't seen you like this going this crazy on some obviously music,
of course, but technology wise.
So it was super bullish to hear that from my own mom, like, like staying up till four
in the morning just on this tech thing.
So yeah, it was really bullish to hear that.
Will, go ahead.
Take it away.
Oh, my bad.
I was buying stuff, you know, cause I'm scared of the next great depression.
Sorry about that.
Take a couple seconds.
Uh, so I don't know if you guys heard me before, um, when I stated, you know, I had
350 NFTs when I first came into space.
So I just went through my portfolio, all my other wallets, I'm sitting out roughly about
a thousand now because of the great depression that's coming.
I'm trying to offset that with NFTs that I think are going to fail and go to zero.
That's why I spent money on them.
Um, but I will tell you this, when it comes to these markets, man, like the shakeout is
here.
Like I told you guys today, like I looked at savings, man, and savings is lower than 2008.
Who's going to sell?
Who?
Who's buying right now to sell?
Like, I don't know.
Like if people are selling, there might be traders, right?
There might be some big money traders doing things right now, but I can tell you right
now for me, this is an accumulation range when it comes to, uh, Bitcoin, arguably we'll
see all with all the clients, right?
They can always go a little deeper, but, um, yeah, I mean, I, this, this space is, is pretty
crazy.
I actually watched a couple of crypto influencers.
I want to bring this up.
I won't name names, but, um, they were talking as if they were going to be new reporters to
go over and report on the current situation with the war.
Yeah, that, uh, that really, uh, helps the space a lot.
I mean, you, you, you can, you can easily identify the grifters from the people who are
just staying on focus, staying on point and staying to what they know.
Right.
And I really want people to keep this in the back of their mind, especially going into
the next bull.
And this is, this is how you get trapped in bull runs, right?
You get trapped in bull runs by following the wrong people.
Not saying you have to follow me.
Not saying you have to follow profits.
Not saying you have to follow Scott, but follow your own plan.
Like set up a plan and follow it, follow it through.
And when you start to see a market veer up, understand your exit strategy.
You need to have one.
Always need to have one.
And if I can give you the simplest strategy in the world, Bitcoin goes to 70 K like profit
says, right?
Ethereum sitting at 6,700.
You know what I would do if I'm in Bitcoin and Ethereum?
I'd rotate it into something that's very undervalued.
That's what I would do.
If I didn't want to leave the market, right?
If I, if I thought there was going to be some kind of secular bull run that's going to continue
through, I would do that.
But me, I'll probably sit and cast for a little while and watch us and kind of tumble back
over and pick it up again.
You know, pick up the pieces at the, at the bottom.
This is something that traps a lot of people.
You don't want to, you don't want to round trip your second cycle.
This is your second cycle.
And if this is your first cycle, you're, you're coming in right at the right time because there's
less voices, less bullshit, less people sitting there trying to tell you, oh yeah, just buy
the dip, buy the dip, buy the dip.
Look, oh, look, these guys sold.
And now they're all, they're all getting messed up.
And then literally two months later, their products basically sitting at zero.
Like that, that's how the, that's how a lot of the bull run went for a lot of people because
they were chasing high beta while other people were making profit.
Look at IDOs, look at ICOs, look at, look at a lot of different things.
There's, there's a lot of projects that are just being launched that people are just not
wanting to look at.
They want to look at all the shit that's already getting crushed, right?
New projects, new things.
Again, we talked about Blackbird.
It's a new thing.
That's why it's, it's getting funding, right?
That's why these, these are projects that you guys should really pay attention to.
These are founders you should pay attention to.
Always look at your founders.
If you can't tell who the founder is, why are you buying it?
Why are you buying it?
That's really the question at the end of the day.
And again, if your founder is, you know, young enough to be your child, then you might want
to reconsider your investments, right?
Not always saying that's always the case.
There's always those scenarios with those really bright people that are young.
But in a lot of cases, you got to experience failure.
And a lot of people are coming in here and experiencing failure on other people's dime.
And that's not what you want to be part of.
You can go ahead.
Zero.
Go ahead.
How's it going?
So I put a new chart at the, the pinned.
So this chart is from Paul Graham, who's like, you know, master investor who understands, you
know, he's just got a lot of experience.
He understands markets.
And if you look at this chart, when you build a startup, when you, and NFTs are a startup,
to be clear, like every single collection is its own startup.
There's initial enthusiasm, which we went through.
That was like the bull run, right?
And then we crashed because reality set in.
It didn't help that the macro economy and the interest rates went up.
That, that sucked, right?
Um, and then now we're sitting in the trough of sorrow.
It's, it's hard to discern if we actually hit the bottom of the trough.
Um, and that our sorrow is at max, it could be way lower.
Like, we could definitely crash like another 50 to 80% on, on some collections.
It's hard to say if they go 99%.
Like, I think that might be an exaggeration because like, there's kind of like a floor
you hit that like, it just doesn't go lower.
And then the collection dies off.
Like, for example, there's some collections that literally like, I thought everyone sold
it and they're sitting at like 0.2 E, you know what I mean?
And like, no one's talking about the collection, but can you buy and sell them today?
Yeah.
And then someone will buy and sell with you.
So like, we may see stuff that was like sitting at 5E go down to like 0.2 and then it just
sits there forever.
Uh, and then a few people traded back and forth for whatever reason.
It could be wash trading, money laundering.
I don't know.
You know what I mean?
Like they just sit there.
Um, that's a whole other problem in this space.
But so in this chart, we don't know, like I was saying, where that reality setting cliff
drop happens.
Do we drop farther?
But we're definitely somewhere, somewhere there.
And we have to go through the trough of sorrow.
So, and then we have to start the pivoting and experimenting and then something will start
working and it's going to be really wonky.
We might have some crashes even after like some mini bull runs.
And then finally we find product market fit.
So some collections will find the product market fit and they will scale and it will go wild.
Um, I would say to like whoever's switching up their, their content to drive, you know,
like impressions through rage, rage bait and stuff like that.
Just block them.
Just block them out.
Like literally hit the block button on them because here's the thing.
It's like you, you could pivot now to politics or whatever, and you're going to completely
miss the next bull run.
Yes.
You might gain a hundred and a thousand followers that are either left or right wing, whichever
one you pander to.
But at what cost, like you, you're going to get literally a hundred thousand death threats
as well.
People coming after your location, your family, and you're going to miss the entire next bull
run.
Like what was the point of that?
And then meanwhile, people are going to put these posts up.
They're going to try to lure you into that.
They're going to like sell you a course on how to be a political, whatever account that
gains a hundred thousand followers from talking politics.
Right.
I'm not going to play that game.
I think that's a complete waste of time and, and potential wealth.
You know what I mean?
Um, yeah, it's, it's beyond me why people would do that.
Here's the thing.
The next crypto bull run, I mean, beyond the fact that you could get like a really good
full-time job in it, you could get, um, you know, you can play with a lot of different
coins and NFTs, but you know, you can build your career to a point that it never was before
versus making what a hundred dollars a month on X fighting with people in politics.
Like which one are you going to choose?
The one on X is not going to scale.
I can tell you that.
If you think you're going to be a millionaire and X making content, fighting people about
politics and making rage bait, it's not going to pan out for you.
That's just a waste of your time.
Don't think so low of yourself.
That's the way I look at it is like, don't think that you are worth only a hundred bucks
a month or a thousand dollars, maybe at the top.
You are worth more than that.
You are worth a career.
You should be building yourself a career and towards a career.
So just stay away from that crap.
Now you can pivot to other areas that are also careers.
Like you could change your account to like game development or AI or something else.
Who cares?
Right.
But I think staying away from the rage bait and that pin is important.
You know, Golden put something up.
Yeah.
Golden had a really good take on this.
I'll be quiet for a second if you want to talk about it, Golden.
Hey, real quick too, before I just want to reply to you, Zero.
I love what you said and Golden, I just reposted your post too.
You fucking go.
The thing is, man, people, companies are still watching, right?
They like what Zero said, they're going to hire again.
Like I do.
A lot of us fucking talk to these people every day and they're going, yo, who should I keep
my eye on?
Who should I, who, you know, who's cooking who, you know, like just because they can't fund
you now or hire what you're really good at, at the amount you need today, bro.
There's like, look at our listeners every day.
Like some of the biggest companies kind of web three exposed and just vibe out.
You think they're not like doing what Zero said?
You think they're not watching you watching the, yeah, bro.
Cause they're going to hire some of you guys and gals.
Like y'all, like I, I don't get like the, the complete, like the complete, just this change
everything.
And it's going to be sad to see because I, a lot of us have seen this before on Instagram,
right?
Like when the political season happened last time, um, I remember even people in the music
business, like, yo, my music, my music shit ain't popping as much.
I'm going to go pivot and start, you know, picking a side of politics.
Right.
And then when that was all done with, you know, once like a president was picked, then it's
like, bro, who's really listening to you now?
You know what I mean?
Like, like they, now nobody takes those people serious and now they're stuck in this, like
we're music guys, but we do politics.
Like, it's just hella weird.
Like you're in this like weird box that like, and zero is giving you a warning again.
My bro, bro really have a crystal ball.
He's giving you 17 other warnings in the last 90 days.
Like, don't do it.
It's not worth it because they're all watching every big company.
Just because people are delaying their platforms, like, oh, eBay didn't drop it the day that
they, like, bro, like you sound stupid, bro.
I'm not even going to say these influencers names, but bro, like they're all still watching.
Like they're all like who would drop, who's smart that would drop a token or a marketplace
today and like lose liquid 30% liquidity instantly, or just drop something that like nobody, anybody
smart ain't going to do that.
Like, so just, hey, you already made it this far.
I hate to go over this again.
You already went through the worst.
Like, you know what I mean?
Shit was going to drop a little bit more.
You can handle it.
You're big girls and big boys here.
We've already been through the damn jungle.
So man, there's no reason to pivot.
Like Zero said, you can always do what interests you, whether it's toys, anime, like all those
things work great.
Just don't do something where you're picking a side and you can't get out of that box once,
you know, it's quote unquote, good for you to come back.
Look at, look, look at the people who gripped at friend tech over the weekend.
There's a reason why those guys and gals vanished for the last 18 months.
You guys let them come back.
They rug the shit out of you, blamed it on mental health, and they'll be back again next
year.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, it's insane.
Like just pay attention.
Zero doesn't have to be here or tweet or make these threads and these analytical backing.
Like backing, he can do his job and be in his regular life, but he's really out here
with his crystal ball, his sealed crystal ball, letting you know this is going to happen.
So stay on your, you know, stay on your tippy toes with these politicians.
If they're doing it before November, you're seeing Twitter reward it.
What do you think is going to happen, guys?
Zero, go ahead and you can respond.
Yeah, the reason why I post and I interact everywhere is I'm trying to get a feel for
which tech of blockchain is going to pop off next.
And this is the only way.
You've got to be like at least mildly active every day.
You've got to get a note of like what works, what failed, what is actually getting traction,
and then monitor.
And it doesn't have to be a lot of time per day, even 15 minutes.
You know, you can spend more if you want.
But every checkup is a test and you're just seeing what's going to work in one to two years.
It's not going to be tomorrow.
There is no bull run tomorrow or even in a three months or six months.
You know, the interest rates and inflation has to come down.
And like Will said, like people don't have money in their banks, right?
The banks don't even have money in their banks.
You know, that's even worse.
You got to wait.
But we just don't know what is going to work on the next bull run.
Like, is it going to be looking totally different?
Is it going to be a different technology?
Like, we don't know, right?
Like, in 2008 when it crashed, like, Facebook and Netflix, they went and hired like crazy.
And then they popped off huge.
If you had invested then and kind of known and paid attention, like, you would do very well.
Apple as well, right?
So that to me is what I do now.
It's like I'm just monitoring very patiently every day, just very – with a lot of patience, just watching.
Anyways, that's it.
Go ahead, Goldie.
Oh, man.
Tell you what.
Don't hold back, Goldie.
I want Goldie before you with suspended Goldie.
It's the same.
It's the same.
I haven't changed.
You know, the amount of just the spaces.
I posted something.
I tagged it at the top.
I really can't verbalize it any better than what I wrote it.
So I think it kind of says everything I need to really say.
But just the gist of it is, like, you can't be an expert at everything.
And most of these people are not even knowledgeable, let alone an expert in some type of field.
A lot of these fields are also emerging, so there's even less actual experts in those fields.
That's another kind of wrinkle to all of this, you know.
But I just hear all these people that are just kind of shape-shifting into, you know, politics now and religion.
And I'm thinking, what are your actual credentials and, you know, educational background and experience to offer any type of opinion?
And, you know, at best, it's just nonsense.
And at worst, it can actually be dangerous and miseducate people into thinking things are a certain way when they're not.
Like, I don't subscribe to TikTok, but I saw some person retweeting a TikTok video.
Some girl did, like, a song about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in two minutes.
And, like, half the information was objectively, factually incorrect.
You know, nothing to do with the side, just history.
And, you know, some person's reposting, and I'm thinking, hmm, you know, that person just lost all credibility with me.
You know, like, I have this list of people who've lost credibility.
And it's actually a very, very long list, not surprisingly, in this space.
And that list is actually growing every day, you know, kind of due to this nonsense.
But I would venture to say that if you were just to go on, like, you know, X recommends to go on these spaces, you're going to see exactly what I'm talking about.
And I would encourage you not to listen to those LARPers, because that's exactly what they are, which also means that they don't care if it's about crypto.
They don't care if it's about politics.
So what is the actual driving motivation?
They just want attention.
So don't give those people attention.
That just shows their hand, right, at the end of the day.
You don't have people, like, on CNBC talking socks and going on MSNBC and talking politics.
Duh, right?
Well, that's exactly what these clans are trying to do.
But, of course, they lack any requisite qualifications.
I mean, you definitely see that, but, like, they're not a good example to, like, aspire to.
No, no, that's a bad.
No, no, that's like a.
But even then, that's like worlds apart.
Even then, that's worlds apart is an example.
So you're right.
But, yeah, it's just a waste of time.
You know, people are bored.
But more importantly, people just want attention.
They just gravitate from one topic to the next.
So think about, if you're getting your information from those persons, how verifiable and accurate is the information in the first instance if all they care about is me, me, me, me.
So I would just turn the radio off if I were you.
Hey, Golden, I love that take, bro.
Yeah, I agree with Golden.
I agree with Zero.
I mean, the biggest problem is you just look like a dumbass.
I mean, that's what it comes down to.
I mean, me personally, I was in the politics, history, and, you know, Austrian economics all throughout my early 20s.
But that has given me knowledge on stuff.
But I know when I don't, I know when I know I don't know something.
You know what I mean?
Like, Israel, Palestine, I don't know the whole fucking history of that conflict.
So I don't take a side.
I just say, us, America shouldn't be involved.
That's my only thing.
So when you go out there and you're like, okay, now I'm going to be a political expert, and you have zero base knowledge to go, okay, I actually know something about this, but I don't know anything about that.
Now you're just so pining with certainty on everything.
And when you don't pine like that, you look like a dumbass.
You know what's really dangerous is are the so-called, like, Web3 lawyers and legal experts.
I say experts.
I don't actually mean experts.
Let me tell you something, and I can speak with authority on this.
Because I have not heard a single lawyer in any of the spaces that I've ever listened to that I would ever hire or retain as a lawyer, okay?
And the absolute worst thing you can do as a lawyer is to say, I am an expert in the field when you're not an expert in the field.
You cannot know everything about everything in the law.
And these idiots, these LARPers are doing exactly that.
And you should actually look up a lot of their credentials, okay, education, experience, by the way.
But actually, I'll just save you the trouble.
Don't.
Just ignore them because it's a giant waste of time.
But it's dangerous.
It's dangerous.
And I'm not just talking about, like, armchair attorneys.
I'm talking about actual, well, supposed, you know, attorneys.
But more like, you know, better call Saul attorneys, if you catch what I'm saying.
But the point is, those are dangerous because people may actually listen to them as authority figures, particularly people new to the space.
So, you know, it's just a, oh, man.
Yeah, to your point about one of the best things you can do is and say, I don't know the answer to a question, but let me refer you to someone who might.
And people's ego just gets in the way of being able to do that or say, you know what, I'll get back to you, or I don't know the answer to a question.
But people's ego gets in the way because they want to seem like an expert authority, which just reinforces the principle that they're here or not to actually provide any actual legitimate knowledge.
But they just want more and more attention.
Nothing I'm saying is groundbreaking.
It's just people are really showing their hand right now.
Hey, Golden, I'm going to – and, you know, we've touched on this on the show lately.
I'm scratching my head at the people that know this information, Golden, and still choose to clout chase because you're showing your hands as well.
And you don't want to be on these lists.
I said it again.
I told that question mark lady that one day, and everyone got so upset, called me a gatekeeper.
And I don't practice what I preach.
I'm trying to teach you how not to get gatekept, how not to be on the golden list, the Scott food list, the profits list.
Yo, there's not that many people here, fam.
There's only a certain amount of business developers that are really, really tapped in.
There's only so many partnerships, people that really know these Web 2 companies, that really know these celebrities.
But you think, like, these lists don't exist.
These chats, these iMessage talks don't happen.
These things don't get brought up in Zooms.
They all do.
And it's just getting more condensed and condensed.
And, like, what Zero says, it's showing the truth of everybody, right?
It's not so much I think everyone's getting smarter, which that's cool, too.
But it's just showing everybody's hand because there's nobody left, right?
Like, dude, you can look at a dude or a girl and be like, bro, you've been here for three years.
You ain't did shit, but you got all this shit to say.
You literally turned into 12 different experts.
It's cool to be – you can be the jack of all trades.
But, bro, like, every time I ask you about it, you say you don't kiss and tell.
And you don't have a LinkedIn.
I can't look at your resume.
You won't tell me who your clients are.
But we put these people on pedestals because they make a graph piece of paper that says,
I made $200,000 exactly on the dot.
Look at how I did it.
Join my subscriber newsletter.
Like, bro, like, no, man.
Or you have 100,000 or 50,000 followers, probably, which most people bought it, who have that range.
And, therefore, that commands some level of authority or legitimacy as though that could seemingly replace someone's actual education or work experience.
But no, right?
We just see the person has 50,000 or 100,000 people and then think instantly, you know what?
That person's a thought leader or deserves some level of respect or speaks from some level, some pulpit of authority when, in fact, that absolutely means nothing other than that either, one, they've been there for a while, two, they've been, you know, bolstering up their account through different means, including potentially botting.
But it means absolutely nothing in terms of the actual voice or opinions that are being, you know, espoused through those accounts.
So, that's another complication to all this, Scott, as you know, is, you know, big numbers, people, it's just part of human nature.
You see big numbers and you think there's some legitimacy to that.
So, that's another hurdle.
And, Golden, real quick, the thing is, what is the, there's no actionable to that, right?
We've been here for three years, and I'll say it again.
All your favorite motherfuckers from NFT Inspect, there's a reason why NBCUniversal, the NBA, all these fucking, even Funko, right?
Why aren't any of these big-ass companies calling any of them, bro?
If these are the people you're trying to be with to get their vanity numbers, the vanity metrics, but you know there's no actionable fucking exit or plan or job, why the fuck are you doing it other than you're a motherfucking grifter?
Period.
It's a good point, man.
There, there, there's, dude, I want to be the next, I want to have this engagement, I want my check like this, bro.
So, so now I'm suspect of all y'all that be co-hosting and speaking in these things when you know all of this info, it's nothing new.
You see me in IRL, mate, we might have even done business, which I'm even more confused about.
Yeah, you're going on my list, man.
You're going on my list if you do that.
It's a long list.
It's a long list.
You, you, you gotta think, like, there's a lot of people in space who are okay with being grifters, though, too.
Like, they, they, they follow grifters because they want to be a grifter, and, and they're okay with that, and, and I guess that's, you know, this is probably the best place to find out how to grift, because that's not what we're here to teach you.
But, uh, you know, there are a lot of spaces for that if you're trying to learn those, those, uh, those expansive capabilities of how to grift.
I will say this, too, because you kind of got me going, going, golden, on the, on the lawyer thing, man.
Ooh, don't get me going on the lawyer thing.
Look.
No, go for it.
Go for it.
Give it to me.
Give it to me.
I've dealt with quite a few different cases.
Uh, look.
I can tell you from, like, the IRS side, I've dealt with lawyers in the IRS.
I've dealt with lawyers and other businesses.
I've dealt with lawyers and accidents.
And, and, and I'm talking about, like, from a personal experience, like, I had a lawyer that I paid $30,000, $50,000 to, to litigate cases for me.
And I'm literally telling you, like, and I'm literally telling you, like, when people sit there, like, oh, this is the only way things can be.
It's like, dude, I had that case.
What are you talking, like, I literally got out of the same thing you're saying to the legal.
Like, you're full of shit.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Because, like, if you hire a lawyer and a lawyer can get you through a case, that's a case that can be reverted back to if anybody else goes through that same case.
And they can loophole your same, your same scenario, more or less, right?
Like, a lot of people, these lawyers sit here and act as if things are static, as if they're never moving.
Like, a lot of these lawyers are so inexperienced, man.
Like, you can tell they're inexperienced.
How can you tell they're inexperienced?
Because they're not like, let me hear your case before I give you judgment.
They're just like, this is illegal or that's illegal.
It's like, that's not how, everything's not black and white.
Illegal and not illegal.
It's like, you have to understand the context.
Yeah, particularly in this space, with, you know, respect to NFTs and coins, people in house.
I've heard, again, never, ever, ever, ever trust any of these lawyers.
They're bad lawyers on here.
But they speak with such, you know, purported confidence and authority like, yeah, there's definitely an answer here.
Or yes, there's definitely an answer here.
And most assuredly, there often is not a clear answer.
There are some exceptions to that.
But for the most part, sorry, you know, it's going to take a few years.
And by a few years, probably, you know, four to five.
Minimum, probably two.
So, yeah.
Just, I mean, it's just, I feel your pain.
Maybe not to the financial level that you just articulated.
But it's, you know, that's one of the most, like I said, it's not just cosplaying or LARPing as experts.
When you do it in certain sub-areas, it can actually become dangerous and or misleading.
But what a surprise.
What a surprise, right?
What a surprise that people would try to be something they're not in this space.
Don't you find it funny how lawyers, how some lawyers come in and try and give direct answers?
Like, there's got to be some kind of liabilities to those situations to come in and give direct answers like that.
Because typically, you don't give direct answers.
Yeah, because they're idiots.
They're idiots.
Or they're giving free legal advice without thinking of any potential consequences.
Not to begin with, actually potentially establishing attorney-client relationships without any disclaimers, but then even worse, giving bad legal advice that could expose them to liability, which just shows their hands that they're actually inexperienced and worse incompetent.
There you go.
You hit the nail on the freaking head.
And I've noticed that a lot in this space.
That's exactly what it is.
And that's not me talking shit about any individuals.
But I came across a couple of them, believe me, in here.
Not, well, some of them.
Yeah, they're on my list, too.
Don't worry.
They're on my list.
What's up, Zero?
Back to you.
So, if anyone's wondering where we all went wrong, I think we've always had this on some level, but it got much worse this summer.
Like, when we had that big cliff drop around July-ish or so, I think a lot of people just flat-out quit and then accelerated coming into this month.
And people are like, hmm, how do I get that level of engagement?
So, like, everyone can see it.
Like, there's generally less engagement from the crypto side.
Some people have just flat-out, they've removed every single word of crypto from their posts.
They may still be holding, and NFT is their profile picture right now, but they literally are never talking about crypto again.
And I can see it in their posts, and they're doing that on purpose.
And then what happens is when you get into that phase or state, I think you can get into a very desperate mode, and things start going sideways for you.
Like, again, if you have an interest and it's a legit interest, go ahead and switch or whatever.
But there's some things that are not legit.
Like, I've just pinned up one that's just, like, this seems extremely tasteless, is that some flipping group switched to, like, flipping Israel tickets, flight tickets.
Like, that just seems extremely insensitive.
That's where people are just moving towards now.
They're botting websites to buy plane tickets and stuff, you know what I mean?
Like, I think that there was a large number of accounts that they came into NFTs and crypto with the idea that, like, they don't have another career.
Maybe they live at home with their parents or whatever.
And they came in here, actually, to sell us a coin, to make a coin, to make an NFT collection.
And when the market went down, those people are now stepping out.
And they realized quickly, and I do have some evidence, at least on a few big accounts, that you'd be surprised about, that they were trying to make a collection.
And I would be not surprised at all if, after they launched the collection, they would shut down their account and rugged, confident.
And now they realize, like, that's not going to work for them.
They've got to find a new way to, you know, make small money.
And, again, why do they think so low of themselves?
So, if they believe they can only make a few hundred bucks a month or whatever, a thousand max on, you know, farming engagement on X, that's terrible.
And that they're going to wait until the next bull run to try and grift people.
Like, they definitely are going to run.
They definitely are.
They don't have another career.
I mean, at that point, it's kind of like, you know, why did you, why did that person come into the space, right?
I mean, sure, a lot of people came in for money, especially in the last bull run.
And I don't necessarily, you know, fault that.
But it's like, okay, do you come in making money as a trader?
Or are you someone who is like, okay, I can get a bunch of engagement and then sell, you know, my post, you know, to rug coins and stuff and then grift money that way and then do that.
So, it's like, how did you come in?
Where did you make money?
And especially if you made money that way and you didn't make money trading and that's the only thing you know, yeah, you've got to go to other things.
And, you know, to your point, especially if you don't have another career, maybe I have a Web 2 job.
I mean, like, you know, for all this stuff, this is all fun for me.
I have fun talking with you people and about Web 3 and NFT.
So, it's just like, you know, maybe one day I work in Web 3, maybe I don't.
I don't care, but I always have a fallback.
Other people who don't have a fallback and who made money, you know, that way, that's all they know.
So, they've got to figure out a way to do that.
And, yeah, I mean, to you guys' all points, I mean, politics is definitely going to be the big one everyone ships to because it's an election year.
And, I mean, like, again, like I said, I was into all that stuff way before.
And you can see, especially in 2016, you saw a lot of, you know, accounts and stuff, YouTube channels and that rise and then just go away.
And then or maybe picking up back now because they made their money in that hyper attention cycle.
And this is how, you know, the corporate press makes their money as well.
And, you know, then that falls off during those years.
And then when it comes back, they get right back on it.
And so, yeah, it's a story as old as politics.
Yeah, with politics, though, man, I'm telling you, I don't care if left or right.
You make yourself completely unattractable and unattainable for most companies when you get into those type of things.
You cannot do it left or right.
I'm being 100 percent like if you are looking to be able to make money in another way other than politics, you can't get into politics.
If you are looking to make money only in politics, that's your that's your that's your deal.
Go to politics that you're especially if you're trying to network and engage on here and what you say.
Like, I feel like you can't be successful in politics with censoring yourself.
But if you don't censor yourself, you become very unattractive to those other companies.
You know, my whole Web2 career and stuff has nothing to do with my online stuff.
So it's like, yeah, I have that.
But it's like me.
I'll always talk about whatever the hell I want to talk about.
And this is the stuff I've always talked about.
So when he's up, I'm going to talk about it.
But anybody who's doing money, like if you have a Twitter account and you made money in Web3, you're here to network in Web3, you're all Web3.
And like this is like your life in terms of a job and everything.
Yeah, you probably don't want to go down posting on the political route.
Me, Twitter was always fun for me.
And I post, you know, whatever and respond to whatever the hell I want.
And but, you know, I'm not trying to sell this, you know, get those followers and sell my engagement type of thing.
Hey, brothers, real quick.
Like, hey, I love how a lot of us, my bad, Zero, I'm going to let you go right now, that a lot of us that have like that Web2, like, you know, you notice all of us really get along really well.
Like IRL, Twitter, like I think it's like a lot of like the people that don't have to like use this to grift or whatever.
Like Zero saying it's the only the only outlet.
Like you don't have that pressure, right?
Like I don't feel that pressure from Zero.
I don't feel that pressure ever from Bad Brothers will, you know, sit candies up here now.
Like the people that I know, what you do, you know, in regular life, it just like as much as like we love working in Web3, yo, I still got, you know, my arbitrage.
You know, since that's the hot word of the year, I still got my e-commerce stuff.
I still got our legal cannabis business, you know, all the unpopular stuff that that other people don't like to do.
That's legal.
I'm doing that, too.
So, yo, like, do you be a DJ, but like one day a week, man, find like a shitty ass dry cleaner with four homies.
Like I know you can't afford like at all, but maybe you got 10 grand.
You know what I mean?
So, like, yo, like the more you don't have to worry about making money on this app or through Web3, the more me and Profits talk about this today.
You're more creative, right?
Just like in music, if I'm not worrying about my lights turning off, I always made better music, right?
Don't get me wrong.
You got that hunger.
You get that hunger from that type of situation.
But when my lights go out, I can't make a beat.
You know what I mean?
So, you know, just got to find that middle way.
But I know DJ didn't have that up forever.
And it's also safe in terms of like, what do you call?
Me, if someone sent me a message for like, I'll pay you two grand to make this post about a shit coin or whatever, I'd never take that because that's like not worth my integrity, right?
But when someone's depending on it for their rent check the next month and, you know, what do you call, Web3 is down and they get that message, then yeah, you know, that's when they might be tempted to take it.
Even if a sans out, if they have like a regular job that they can fall back to, they probably would never do that.
But, you know, when people get in desperate situations, they make desperate choices.
So don't put yourself in that situation.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Web3 Exposed.
Web3 Exposed, 621CM Eastman.
And not only did Bad Brothers turn off his bad takes, but he's actually following the rules today.
You'd absolutely love to see it.
Waco, I'm sorry these people were talking forever.
I wanted to hear from you.
I know it's been a while.
It's all right.
Maybe you'll come back.
DJ, what's up, DJ?
Go ahead.
I've got to fight my way to the mute button.
Heading home to the studio.
I just wanted to add that, interestingly enough, lawyers are licensed to practice law.
So even the lawyers that are allowed to do it, they don't know it all.
So that's all I wanted to throw in on that one.
So yeah, I'd be real suspect on a lawyer that claims to know, you know what I mean, or claims
to be able to tell you what situation, what you should do legally from any standpoint of
anything.
That's just my defense.
Cough, Alex.
Anyway, thank you for that.
Angry, nice to see you.
Hey, why don't I look for the skeleton emoji?
What?
No, when Prophet said that, my brain doesn't work and I was looking for a skeleton.
I was like, bro, you're in Twitter spaces, bro.
No, man, I just wanted to make a few comments and I think Zero touched on it, Bad Brothers
touched it and Golden.
Most of the people here aren't, they're obviously LARPing.
For example, I was in one of the largest botted Twitter spaces.
I'm not going to call no names.
And they had a shilling session in there where, you know, startups can come up and present
their ideas and themes and things.
Scott, Profits, Will, this was horrible.
Somebody came up on stage and said that they were the expert in a certain field.
You know what was funny?
I've been in that field for 15 years.
And everything that man spoke about, I swear to God, it was incorrect or wrong.
A couple of things.
The technology was not there.
There's no way he could have produced what he said he was going to make in time.
I know for a fact that anything he was going to produce was going to be experimental and
he was pushing it like it was some kind of freaking real product, right?
So I just want to say to people here to be mindful of the people who call themselves quote
unquote experts, because sometimes there's actual experts in the crowd listening.
I did request to speak in that space, but you know, I'm not goaded.
I don't have a huge following.
It's all good.
It's all good.
So that didn't bring me up because I would have come up there and definitely slam everything
this man was talking about.
And I want to say to the people here curating content and flipping every week.
Listen, don't follow trends on Twitter.
They change every two seconds.
And on top of that, too, the huge spaces where people are talking about, they know the algorithm.
I will tell you this.
There's no algorithm expert, right?
Follow what zero is saying.
What zero is saying is zero is methodically, surgically picking out parts of the algo that
make sense.
There are still parts that are undiscovered that just don't make any sense unless you
were there in that damn office writing the code.
So most of these people talking about how to grow.
The only person who I know that has definitely dropped facts, legit facts that I've checked myself
is freaking zero.
Anybody else up here?
Anybody else with a freaking 100K followers?
With the 100K followers and all of that, thinking that they're all this and all that,
most of y'all are full of shit.
Done.
I mean, how many of the algorithm experts have ever worked on an algorithm?
Like, you know, if they were bad brothers, that's bro.
Not even that, bro.
Dude, these motherfuckers, bro.
Never even modded.
I'm going to keep saying this, bro.
This is my new joke.
They've never modded a Facebook group of 500 individuals, yo.
As funny as this is, we put these founders and everybody else, these leaders, people with
100,000.
There's a reason why they didn't do shit on threads.
As much as threads is dead, they funded it out the door because it can't transfer.
You can't.
You can't.
There's a reason why they don't go on these other apps, why they're trying to do it all
on Twitter, because you ain't shit nobody where else.
Ain't nobody going to pay attention to you off your echo chamber of the echo chamber, man.
So, nah, bro.
Candy, you can fucking cook as usual.
Zero, go ahead, brother.
Stop using the fucking soundboard unless your name is Profits Over Wages.
Zero, go ahead.
Yeah, if you're good at programming, go become a programmer because I'll tell you what.
It's like Google and all those other companies, they will pay you hundreds and hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Like, there are programming positions that are not even that senior that are getting like
300K USD before bonuses, before stocks.
This is what happens out there.
So, if you can claim that you can read it all and everything and you magically know the
hidden parts, too, why are you on Twitter the whole day?
I love that you point that out, Zero.
Like, I worked directly at Google.
So, have proof of it, everything.
And I'll tell you 100%, like, he's definitely on point.
Not only will you get paid top dollar, they have really good health insurance, really good
eye.
Like, I mean, if you're looking for, like, some of the best health insurance in the industry,
that's where you want to be, all right?
The companies I've worked at, a lot of them, best health insurance, best eye, everything
you can get.
Best dental, like, you're paying, like, pennies.
Like, I walk into a doctor, pay $20 copay, right?
That's basically it.
And then they'll do whatever I want them to do.
That's emergency room.
That's everything.
Like, you guys got to understand, like, a lot of these people say, I'm the expert on
this, or I know this, or I know that.
Then why aren't you working somewhere where you can make a lot of money?
Say it, we'll fucking say it again, especially for the marketers that say they make $200,000
but can't tell you where the fuck it came from.
Bro, you're cap on this app, bro.
Like, stop.
Dude, you would not, dude, make 15, we saw your check, you posted it.
Bro, if you think we believe that you'd rather have $6,000 a month to spend, what, 10 hours
a day tweeting, rather than have one client that pays you $10,000 a month for maybe six
hours of work, you're a fucking Max Capper.
Stop going to this guy's spaces, y'all.
Dude, he's never been hired by anyone, let alone people in Web3 that are real formidable
companies.
OpenC don't even fuck with him.
Magic Eden don't fuck with him.
Like, we're our own ecosystem, don't fuck with these people, but you want to be just
like them and go in their space and add value to their how to monetize on X.
Yo, if this, if these dudes were so professional, this would be extra.
This wouldn't be pressure.
You wouldn't need the six grand and wasting, bro, 7,140, 280 hours a month on fucking Twitter,
bro.
You're a capper.
Anybody who's a dev, like what Zero said, anybody who's really cooking is going to go
like, bro, I could do 40 hours a month on X company for way less work, way less headache,
get insurance, and then I'm going to subcontract three other companies to fill in that 40 hours.
You're lying.
I'm going to let you finish cooking, but I want to talk about one more thing.
Go ahead.
One more thing, all right?
At Google, they have a kitchen, all right?
And in that kitchen, you get anything you want.
Look, they got Red Bull, they got Monster, they got soda, they got anything.
You can get beef jerky, the real beef jerky, not knockoff beef jerky, okay?
Real beef jerky.
Chips.
Anything.
All free.
No vending machine.
Will, tell them about the sushi.
Tell them about the sushi.
Tell them, Will.
Look, you get breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you stay late.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
They feed you.
Look, they have a massage room in the back.
No bullshit.
Massage room in the back.
You can go back and get a massage.
Like, people don't.
People out here like, yeah, you got to do this.
You got to.
Look, look, you guys haven't even worked anywhere.
A lot of you haven't worked anywhere.
Like, you don't even know what it's like to work at a good company.
Like, I'm just telling you, like, the dollar value is nothing in comparison to basically the benefits on top of the dollar value.
It's actually insane.
But, you know, just some food for thought.
And I'll tell you, I was working, you know, at my friend's house.
Her husband was working in the other room.
And he works on, like, back end for, like, advertising.
He used to work at Google.
Like, and I'll just tell you, the conversations he was having in there when I was overhearing him on the phone and stuff.
Nothing compared to these algorithm experts in terms of the technicality and stuff.
The only level of technical stuff I hear when I listen to that is usually in, like, small spaces with, like, some really smart, like, Bitcoin people.
And, like, when you hear them speak, you go, oh, yeah, these are the actual smart people.
So, you know, to actually read and analyze code and, like, figure out all that, like, you know, these algorithm experts are definitely just LARPing or got something that they heard from ChatCPT or something.
Which, I mean, sure, some of it's probably relevant, but it's just, like, I don't know, if you want a $200 check from Twitter every two weeks, like, to, and, like, I can't spend the time for $200 every couple weeks to be an algorithm expert, you know?
Hey, and Bad Brothers, like, and I hate the people that, why, too?
So, screw the people that just don't even take these jobs.
The people who put Google in their shit that ain't like Will, like, bro, I can literally call Will any time, ask you what office you was at.
I'm going to call Will, and I'm going to call my cousin, Chris Masudo, director of product of operations at Google, and they probably ain't never heard of you, bro.
Like, stop, man.
Like, it's gone too far.
You make the space look bad.
You put X Amazon, X all this shit.
But when I go on your LinkedIn, bro, you was, like, a car dealer.
And I'm not dissing car dealers.
Poker player.
Yeah, no, it's crazy, bro.
Like, I started showing profits.
I'm like, y'all, you seen Mr. 100,000 LinkedIn?
Bro, there's no resume, fam.
It's crazy.
And I would sit there and think, like, damn, bro, like, this is all public info because, you know, a lot of people's names, docs like myself.
Bro, they don't even have, like I said, a Facebook group.
I'm a nonprofit.
They looked over people and different personalities.
They never worked in operations.
They never looked over five people in a marketing environment.
And this is why we laugh.
You think any of those guys from NFT and spec, when I throw them in a fucking breakout room live on a Zoom and told you make me a content Bible with five different pillars, they're going to shit their fucking pants.
Shit their fucking pants.
That's why your boy, that's why your favorite girl who has 100,000 influencers on NFT and spec has to keep doing this kind of shit over and over again.
Same bucket, same cycle.
They'll never get hired by NBCUniversal.
All these people that are coming into space, they don't give a fuck about that.
And that's why.
Well, here's the thing, too, Scott.
A lot of people don't get this, but, like, I'm a little bit older, right?
So I've had enough time in this space.
I mean, even in my work career to, like, where I don't even have to, like, update my resume anymore.
I just don't.
Like, people in the industry know who I am.
I can get a job.
I can just call.
I can just talk to people.
And I can be like, look, if you don't believe me, talk to this person over at Google.
If you don't believe me, talk to this person over.
I literally have contacts at NASA, the one in California.
Literally have contacts there that I can use as references.
Like, and I'm not an astronaut or anything like that.
I just, I work there, right?
Like, I work there.
Basically, what I've been doing in my field, I've been doing for roughly about 15, 20 years now.
I know about 15, five years were basically kind of a trial and error, I would say.
But 15 in total of, like, solid work, right?
And I say that because a lot of people like to count their kind of basic learning as part of their work career.
But that's not really how things work, right?
You have to count your initial years as kind of your learning curve.
And then when you get good at what you do, everybody wants you.
And when everybody wants you, that's when your career really kicks off.
That's when you're asking, hey, you know what?
What do you do as a company?
What do you offer me?
What can you offer me?
Are you guys a good fit for me?
What's your guys' direction?
You're asking the interviewer what they are normally asking you.
Because basically, at the end of the day, you're like, hey, if you don't fit what I need, I'm not interested in working for you.
And that's the kind of employees a lot of these bigger companies are looking for.
They're not looking for somebody like, I'll do anything you want.
No, no.
They want, hey, do you fit my needs company?
And if that's the case, and they see that in you, they see the drive, right?
They understand that you have the drive.
They understand you have the capabilities to do the job.
And then they're going to give you the job.
And basically, at that point, too, you can ask for pay.
Like, I know you said you're only paying $60,000.
I have this much experience.
Can you turn that to $95,000?
And a lot of companies will be like, we can do $92,000 plus benefits.
They'll negotiate.
They'll negotiate the costs.
And that's a very doable thing.
That's what a lot of companies will do.
Believe me, I've been to many interviews.
There's never been an interview I've never asked over what they were offering.
Not a single one.
So, I mean, if you get to that point in your life, you're good, right?
And you're not in here trying to, like, follow people and thinking you're going to make a millionaire
by ripping people off because that's what they did to become a millionaire.
Yo, I need to do – this is important.
This is a PSA.
This is not a drill.
I need to make sure there's no bots in this room.
Right now, everybody that can hear my voice, get into the Discord.
The Discord link is in my bio, Profits Over Wages.
Right now, get in the Discord.
Let me know that there is not 237 bots here.
I need to know.
Also.
Also.
Also.
Also.
Also.
I need everybody that are putting their thumbs down to stick your thumb in your ass
and then click end.
Zero.
Go ahead.
It says leave on their screen, Profits.
It says end on yours because you're the host.
Oh, leave or end.
Yeah, I was going to say, you know, programming is not for everybody and that's okay.
It's like, I would say, like, if you're in a situation where you got free time and, like,
let's say you're living with your parents or you've got your bills covered in some way,
before you give up on it, spend 100 hours a week trying to train into it.
Just try.
There are jobs that will take you even if you don't have a comp sci degree or whatever.
There are jobs.
And then there's contracts you can get.
If you can build out a few apps, go ahead and do so.
There are tutorials out there.
You can actually get some decent contracts going.
If you get good at this, if it doesn't work out for you and you just can't rock it and
it's, like, it's not your passion, that's cool.
Like, there are other jobs.
And then there's a way to approach marketing that I think is sustainable.
And it's by not sweating, like, not pressing and not sweating, meaning, like, stick to
your, like, your core competencies, like, what you're good at, what you understand.
And the next bull run, there's probably going to be tons of companies that are legitimate,
not rug coins, that are going to come to you and then be like,
hey, can you post this for $500 or $5,000?
The last bull run was crazy.
Like, as someone looking from the outside in, there were all these people that, like,
all these legitimate companies that were paying massive amounts of money for people to post
stuff.
And that could happen again, right?
But they won't do it if you switch, you know, your whole account around and you have, like,
really inflammatory stuff and you're, like, trying to appease the algo because it looks
like there has been some changes at their office.
They're gearing up for the politics season, right?
And I think this is, like, it's tempting, but don't do it.
I don't think it's going to pay out for you.
Like, again, you're going to make a very small amount of money.
But anyways, yeah, give programming a try.
Just give it a shot because, like, you can get some contract work.
Like, you can literally pick up some, like, really low-end jobs, like, build someone a simple
website, whatever, Shopify store, whatever.
You know, there's tutorials, there's stuff that you can get going.
Like, I know this guy, he made some, like, Shopify skins and, like, the dude made, like,
a million plus dollars just selling them and stuff.
Like, that happens.
Like, just give it some elbow grease and maybe you're going to start with, like, $5,000 a
month, but that's something.
And that's better than what you're going to get on X, I can tell you that.
Like, if you are spending a lot of time here, I think, like, the goals are, like, make
connections.
That's what I like doing is, like, you connect with people and if I find that my posts are becoming
abrasive with them or just not vibing with them, then I dial that down.
I dial that type of post just down.
I do want to make a lot of connections because I believe that in the next bull run, you're
going to need to have a lot of friends to understand what is working and what's not
working in the crypto market, right?
Like, there may be a new coin that you don't understand anything about.
And if you can't make the right connections to understand that coin, then that's not going
to be good, right?
So if you, like, blow your account now, I think that's a really bad choice.
And so we should be looking at people that are blowing up their account by going into
something controversial or, like, posting misinformation because I can tell you that those
are the people that are probably going to rug.
When they're in a very, like, sweaty mode, those are the types of people you've got to
watch out for.
They are probably the ones that are going to post a coin or a collection in the next bull run
and walk on you.
It's going to happen.
And I know some of those accounts were trying to, and some of them did do it, right, this
year.
Some accounts were getting NFT prepped, and then they canceled it quietly or got a coin
prepped and they didn't launch it.
They're going to come get you next year after pivoting to politics or whatever, and then
coming back, right?
Maybe more like two years, but, you know.
But it has happened.
Like, so I was looking at, I use this app called Circle Boom, which I don't think works well
anymore.
But anyways, what it tells me is, like, who quit, right?
Who's inactive?
You know what was the most disturbing fact I've seen?
Was that there was a number of collections that quit the day after Mint.
Yeah, like, a lot of people got rugged here.
I know.
They had bots.
They had botted accounts that were the biggest projects you could see out there, and everyone
was bullish.
I could see in the comments.
And then, like, one day after the Mint, I don't see any posts from them.
And Circle Boom told me all these accounts that quit.
And I was just looking at them, and I was like, oh, shit.
So that's what happens.
They build up all this engagement at any cost.
And then, yeah, they're going to rug you.
So just watch out for that.
What's up, Mandy?
Good to see you, fam.
Hey, good to see you, too, man.
No, I really like what you guys are talking about today.
And, like, I think that probably the biggest thing that I see is people think that they're
smarter than they really are.
Like, the first thing you need to fucking do is look at your bank account and your income
statement and be like, how much money did I make?
And then you're like, oh, okay.
It's not that much.
Great.
Then spare us the fucking genius.
You're not that fucking smart.
So shut up, and you might fucking learn something.
Right?
So the first thing I do, right, is I map.
What do I want to be?
Okay, I want to be a really good trader.
What do I do?
I find all the best traders that exist, and I'm their fucking reply guy.
And then I become friendly with these people.
I start to understand how they think.
I talk how they talk.
I bring them value before I ask for anything.
Right?
And then, like, the only algorithm you need to learn how to hack is a hiring algorithm.
Right?
Like, what you do in your resume is you put in white text, in, like, a subsection of it,
you write Harvard, MIT, MBA, PhD, vice president, CEO.
All of the crawling algorithms will find it.
And then that'll put yours straight to the top.
And how you get to the top is you are a, I prefer not to answer that.
I prefer not to answer that.
I prefer not to answer that.
On all of the questions about being a veteran, disabled, gender, or race.
And then once you do that, you get auto-put to the top and then do just what Will said.
So that's my life advice for you guys.
So, look, 100%.
Look, I get what you're saying.
Look, if you could tag boxes that are boxes that'll get you looked at, that you do them.
That's just it at the end of the day.
Right?
You want to get your, first you want to get your resume pushed up, and then once it gets pushed up, then you can actually say your piece and do what you got to do.
But, you know, like, yeah, no, I like that last part.
It's like, gender, I prefer not to answer that.
Veteran staff, I prefer not to answer that.
100%.
100%.
And, like, on the negotiating thing, like, I just divide what number I want by 0.8.
And then I ask for that number.
And then I'm like, oh, okay, this is what I'm going to ask for.
And then generally people settle for about 80% for anything.
And I use that for almost anything, right?
Like, when people are calling Doge to a dollar, I'm like, hmm, I think it'll go to 80 cents.
I don't think it'll go to a dollar.
So then I'll, like, try and get out before then is, like, my biggest thing is, like, just whenever anyone says it's going to something, it's, like, generally 80% of that.
But that's the trader mindset in you.
You always scalp the market out before the market scalps you out.
So that's always the thought process with that.
Yeah, always overshoot and then allow them to think that they're getting a deal when in reality you're overshooting what you actually want.
Yo, this guy Manny has literally given out, like, $10,000 worth of advice, like, literally every time he comes up.
Follow this man.
He's one of the most valuable motherfuckers in on this motherfucker.
Like, man, these deep Manny's are the people, the bad brothers Manny's, like, these are the people that we need to celebrate and appreciate that they're fucking here.
Like, Manny will give you airdrop alpha, motherfucking, uh, the alpha he just gave you right now.
He's not one-sided.
He's doing it because he want to help you.
He'll just DM me, bro.
Hey, did you know about this?
I'm like, nah, brother.
I didn't know about that.
He always dropping some literally sauce I did not know about, like, about something.
And, yo, Manny, I just want to give you some flowers, bro, uh, and appreciate you, man.
Yeah, dude, I appreciate that.
Thank you very much, and happy to be here, dude.
It's all about just helping people, like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I don't want shit.
I just don't want broke friends.
A hundred percent, man.
You sound like a numbers guy, Manny.
I'm a numbers guy, too.
I like numbers.
Went to school for applied math, dude.
I'm a fucking nerd, but I'm in sales.
Bro.
Yeah, I definitely feel you on that side.
Believe me.
I, I, I, I've been in the, the, the career path of BIM, uh, so it's, it's been an interesting,
uh, journey.
I feel like a lot of people's minds aren't expansive enough to understand just simplicity
of, of expectations.
And if you just keep a simplistic expectation, you can achieve anything and you, you can, you
can profit off of anything.
Smokey in the house.
Yes, sir.
We got the whole gang here.
Bad Brothers, stay on mute.
Now we got some heavy hitters on the stage.
What's up, Smokey?
Thanks for, uh, thanks for the introduction.
Yeah.
I love coming in this space.
Every single time I drop in, there's just a ton of value going on, which is what I love
to see.
Just people giving out the alpha without making us buy their friend tech key.
You'll love to see it.
It's all happening right here on spaces, man.
Don't you know?
Nine E-packs over here.
That's right.
No SIM swapping going on.
You'll love to see it.
Uh, no.
What about multi-six?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, we were, we were tired from those already, William.
Smokey, go ahead.
Yeah, you know, but, um, no, I just, I just wanted to kind of like reiterate, you know,
some of the points that people are talking about, you know, and like, this is the time
to, you know, build your social platform, build your network.
Like, first of all, like the people that are left here right now are like the people that
are passionate.
Right.
And, and, and those are the ones that are putting in the work, uh, that are going to
stay right.
These, these are not the fair weather people.
Uh, they're just like, you know, just, just here for a little while for some quick profit.
Right.
These are the people that really believe in the space that everybody will be saying,
oh, wow, you guys are so lucky.
Um, you know, with, with, with all of that success that you're having, like, man, how did
you do it?
It's like, no, I stayed and I believed in the tech and I believed that, you know, this
was going to be something massive.
Right.
But like, I mean, I really liked what Manny was saying, like, just help people, you know,
like that's, I mean, look, it's really simple, but like the bar is honestly pretty low.
Like you just have to like be a good person, like don't launch a shit coin and like rug
your following and like help others when you have the opportunity to do it.
Like it seems, you know, like a simple recipe, but it is very hard, uh, for some individuals,
uh, to, to follow that and, and not use, you know, the individuals within their network
or their following as that exit liquidity.
Um, but yeah, I mean, I just think that this is such an amazing opportunity.
Like I've really enjoyed the bear market cause I've been able to like network and like get
on one-on-one calls with like really, really passionate individuals that are working to
push this space forward and like use this opportunity, everyone.
Like if you hear somebody that you like and they got a good take and they're doing something
that you're interested in, like maybe hit them up, you know, Hey, uh, maybe we could get
on a one-on-one call.
I can't tell you how many one-on-one calls that I've gotten on where it's just like,
Hey, I'm developing relationships with, with individuals where we have aligned interests
in the space.
And then, you know what, maybe it's not now, but maybe later on down the line, like there
may be something that they need or there may be something that I need and we're able to
kind of call upon each other.
And, uh, it's just, you know, since the, the, the bear market has started, it's just,
I've really been able to build up a really solid network where I haven't had to do all
of this crazy due diligence of like, man, is this person trying to scam me?
Like, who is this?
Right?
Like there's just so much less noise, uh, than there was in the bull market.
Right.
Where like, man, when the bull market was going on, it was just like, man, I don't know what
this person's motives are.
I'm not sure you got to be very wary and it's just much easier to kind of sort through
that.
But I mean, it's really simple.
You just kind of reach out your hand and help people where you can.
And, and it's just, I don't know.
I mean, that's, it led me all the way to, to getting a job at Polygon, you know, just
coming in and trying to provide value, uh, you know, for the space and then learning and
growing and leaning into that and, uh, just be your authentic self, be a person of integrity
and, you know, it'll take you really far in the space.
And like, I mean, this space will five X or 10 X, you know, the size, you know, in the
next, you know, five, 10 years.
Right.
And when that happens, like, I'm talking like, like 500% growth in the space is going to
be insane.
And the types of opportunities that will come from that, it's something that you cannot
even imagine.
Like we have no idea, you know what I mean?
So it's like, it's like getting into Amazon when they were selling books.
Like we're all here, like, like on Twitter spaces and hanging out, we're like talking
about things.
We're like, yeah, I think this could be cool.
Like, yeah, something could happen with this, but when it does, like, we're going to be the
ones that are so well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.
So, yeah, I mean, just day in, day out, you know, just hanging out with, with, uh, you
know, high, high value individuals such as yourselves.
And, uh, yeah, it's going to be great, you know?
Hey, Smokey, I'm going to, oh, go ahead.
Go ahead, Profits.
I saw you on mic.
I'm sorry.
Nope.
Go ahead, fam.
You're good.
Oh, no, Smokey, I'm glad you said that, bro.
Cause that's what we'd be trying to preach here every day, man.
Like I've been telling that, you know, we've been telling everybody LinkedIn, right?
Like, like eight hours of calls.
Yeah.
You're like, fuck, bro.
I'm doing like, you're not doing it for free, bro.
Like even these web two ones that I take, right?
Like, I don't know where that's going to lead at some point, but yeah, the web three
ones, you know, where those are going to lead, but like, I don't know if Smokey's going to
end up tapping in with one of these companies later.
Like you don't know where these tentacles are going to connect, tap in.
So it's like, yo, like, like I said, people on LinkedIn that are business developers, partnerships,
they're not celebrities, y'all.
They don't like go, they see your connect and they're like, dude, they work in business
development and partnerships.
Their job is to connect with you.
So this shit, again, voting from MasterCard told you guys this, right?
You don't even have a thousand followers, y'all.
It doesn't go down in crypto, Twitter, DM.
Smokey will tell you, I'll tell you, everybody up here will tell you.
Like, no one's just going to reach out to you from a big ass blockchain or a big ass company
and, like, trust you with, like, their whole thing.
There's legal and all this other stuff.
I'm telling you, it does not go down on Twitter.
So take these meetings on LinkedIn.
I know this is such a hassle.
You're not, you don't have to go build on the other platform.
You don't got to go engagement farm over there.
It takes you 10 minutes a day.
No, if anybody thinks that's a hassle, you don't want it bad enough, bro.
This is what it takes.
I meant, like, the scariness of it, sis.
Like, because some people are like, just don't know anything about it.
That, 100% agree.
If you ain't built for this, fuck out of here.
But if you are and it's still a little scary to you, you know what I mean?
Like, any of us will help you, man.
Like, what Smokey said, we want all of y'all to be eating and cooking and doing everything.
Like, I want to go give you, you know, the little engagement on something that I know you did in Web3.
Like, I have no problem with that, co-signing anything on your LinkedIn.
But these meetings, they're 15 minutes long.
Make a calendar, connect your shit to your Google Meet,
and literally just hit up the people.
Like I said, like, start with Web3.
You're too scared to do Web2?
You don't have no Web2 Connects?
Fine.
Yo, hit up, like, all these people that are coming.
eBay has, like, seven representatives on LinkedIn.
Like, all these companies, just write Web3 Partnerships and your favorite company
and your favorite 10 companies and start tapping with those 10.
Yo, you know, I know you don't know me, but, hey, I'd love to connect.
I'm a real big fan of not only what you do in Web2,
but what you do in Web3.
Keep it that short.
That's it.
Just hit 10 people a day doing that.
And, like, what Smokey is telling you, these opportunities,
you planted the seed for later.
Like, right?
Like, it might not come tomorrow or the day after,
but I guarantee you when this shit gets that 500 billion mark that Smokey just said,
these people are going to be like, oh, yeah, bro.
I remember the first dude I tapped in from Twitter was Manny or it was Smokey or M-Lo.
And this is how – this is why when we did this three years ago at – you know,
two years ago at OnChain and three years ago at Commander Crypto Show,
this is why the fruits are here now.
It's because we were doing this then.
So we want to tell you now, do this for the next run.
Like, I'm telling you, there's legends here that are – don't have a following as big
or whatever.
There's Manny's out here.
There's M-Lo's out here.
What up, Liz?
There's Mindless's out here.
Like, yo, like, I'm telling you, these people are going to be the next people
working at these companies.
This happened last time.
You already saw it.
So if you think it ain't going to happen, like what Smokey says, you're tripping.
Like, it already happened.
So just put the work in, find your little groove, and take these calls.
Like, even if you're not in business development, be like, yo, I do Twitter spaces.
Yo, we got this amount of people that come every day.
We'd love to talk to you.
They're not Jay-Z, y'all.
It's not Beyonce going, nah, I'm not going to come.
They'd be like, oh, wow, you're inviting me to a podcast show on Twitter?
Dude, for sure I'll show up.
You know what I mean?
And no is okay, too.
I get ignored daily.
You know what I mean?
But two or three of them are going to tap back in with you, and boom, you cooking,
and you're gone.
My bad, Will.
Go ahead, brother.
Real quick, before Will goes, I'm actually going to sign up Scott for something right
now that he didn't even know.
If you're in the Discord and tag Scott, he will grade your LinkedIn bio.
He will grade everything.
Yeah, probably.
Let's make a LinkedIn section in the Discord, like a little, well, it don't got to be nothing
crazy, but we got to chat.
Yeah, we can have a chat, and then like a little business thing where we can really
like, man, I'm telling you, like, there's so much opportunity, like zero, oh, zero's
not up here no more, but yo, some of these LLM jobs for like language model, and find something
you like, too, right?
Dude, they start at like $390, y'all.
You saw the Netflix one?
A million dollars.
I ain't never seen a job where you start at an M?
Like, it's opportunity.
You just got to put the work in.
It sounds that stupid.
It's not like these people are light years ahead.
There's a reason why there's a million LLM opportunities right now.
There's like, every job needs somebody to do their own.
We talked about this last weekend.
Every company needs a fucking manny to do their shit.
Like, this shit, a lot of it, unless you're Sandman or somebody that's been in the industry
forever, like, this, a lot of shit's on the fly right now, and that's why I'm so bullish
on people like King Arf, is because he's like, fuck it, I'm learning this shit on the
fly, level 10, top tier, I'm going hard every day, I'm going to wake up with only four hours
of sleep, but King Arf, mark my words, that boy's going to be like a COO of some fucking
AI shit.
Like, that CO's going to be somebody in AI, and I swear to God, like, it could be y'all
too.
Oh, shout out Yala.
Yeah, like, uh, like, he's going to be somebody, and I'm telling you, like, don't watch King
Arf, tap in with King Arf, tap in with me, tap in with Manny, like, we're about to make
this thing in Discord right now, take advantage, like, all I do, I work from home, y'all, y'all
know that, every job I have is right at this office, I have all these funny toys, I got
time for you, that's why I put the Caledee in the bio, and no, my Caledee doesn't cost
money, I've seen that shit too, my shit's free, book something.
There we go, LinkedIn Alpha channel officially opened, let's go, what's up, William?
Nah, I just like, I appreciate that he brought up you don't have to worry about people scamming
you too much, because that's true nowadays, like, it's just, there's so little people in
the space now, like, you know who the scammers are and who the scammers aren't, but when that
market comes back, that becomes a lot, a lot more of a blurred line, and you get confused
on, you know, who your friends really are and who they really aren't, and I think, like,
going through cycles multiple times, you'll understand who the real people are and who
the real people aren't in the space, it just takes a little bit to understand how the space
works, but they, like I said, I've said this many times, there's a lot of liquidity here,
there's a lot of jobs here, there's a lot of opportunity here, if you want to take advantage
of it, me personally, like, I don't worry too much about money, so I'm not in as desperate
position as most people are right now, not at all laughing at anybody who's in a desperate
situation, but I think it just makes it easier to navigate the space and just do what I do,
and this is why I've, like, been actively accumulating different things, and, like, I'm
just, I'm not fearful, like, I know a lot of people, they want to buy cheaper, they want
to buy this or that, and everything else, and I can tell you, like, that's just, it's
the wrong approach, like, if you guys are investors, like, just pay attention, buy things of value,
invest in things of value, things go up, and if you guys are looking for work, you know,
look for companies that have reliability, right, companies that made it through the bear,
made it through the bull, and are back in a bear again, there's a lot of them out there,
some people like to call them dino coins, but they're operating projects that do well,
and see significant gains in every bull run, so, again, that's consistency, if you want to
speculate, speculation's great, but you'll probably lose a good chunk of your capital
speculating, I will tell you that, I've learned that way, I've learned that way, I've learned
that way, no hard way. So, Will just said something really big, and only, maybe some of you picked
it up, maybe nobody picked it up, and, you know, don't think Will's, I met this, I met this
guy before, wears, you know, respectfully, you know, well, Walmart jeans, t-shirt, regular pay,
regular pair of shoes, you know, his car works, his family's happy, his food, his kids are fed,
and I'm saying this for a reason, okay, I'm saying this for a reason, knows how, knows his job well,
knows his skill set well, when you're in a mentality, as a human, as an American, whatever,
when I say American, I'm saying you're in the U.S., okay, if you don't live in a third world country,
and you're not worried about your life, this is normally how you are going by your day-to-day,
you're in survival mode, because you probably live check to check, you're probably a hustler,
you probably, you depend on you and you only to make money, and this is what he meant, when you
are in this mentality of, fuck, where's my next dollar coming from, you can't create as easily,
you can't execute your business or your idea as easily, so that's why we always say,
at least for the last fucking seven, eight months during this market, get a job, learn a skill set,
there's no fucking way that you can't generate two, three, four, five thousand dollars a month
using what you learn on the internet, okay, it doesn't have to be an NFTs and Web3,
it doesn't have to even be flipping fucking coins, it can be e-commerce, it can be selling
things on eBay, it can be so many different things, if that is already difficult for you,
as is, you gotta go back to the beginning, you gotta go back to the basics, some of us make this
money, but we spend it on weed, alcohol, girls, drugs, all types of shit that we shouldn't, and then
we're stressed at the end of the month, right, oh fuck, why don't I have the extra bread for this
opportunity, for this event in Miami in December, because you blew all your bread on dumb shit the
whole month, on all these vices that you fill, on the stupid ass OnlyFans that you buy from these
little hookers on the internet, right, so what Will said was huge, there's so much opportunity right
now, dude, when I started on the internet in 20 fucking 12, 13, struggling my ass off to make,
I don't know, fucking $1,000 a month from Chipotle at the time, making $9 an hour, $8.50 an hour,
I was like, man, how am I gonna figure it out, figured it out, dude, it's 2023, my little cousins
are showing me how I have stocks, and shit, if you can't fucking figure it out, you're not hungry enough,
like, go back to working for somebody, you need somebody to tell you what the fuck to do,
because you don't have discipline, freak, clip all this shit up, yeah, you've been waving and
thumbing me and all types of shit, let's hear this fucking take, what's up, Hutch?
Can you guys hear me? Loud and clear. Thank you, prophets, you guys probably weren't expecting
this out of a bot, I'm assuming. Anyways, I am, I am like bedridden at the moment, I know a couple of
you IRL to, to give you guys an accurate emoji speak, but if you guys really do know algorithms,
you might know that people are fast in different ways, right? There's something that I heard a
common denominator around this whole thing, and that has to do with this emoji right here.
So, everyone in here, everyone on this stage, whether I followed you before today, or during
today, I heard one common denominator, and I just want to say, as I have about four percent left on my
bad, that all of you guys, stay strong at what you're doing. Everything that I've heard in here
today, has been one hundred percent on board. I say that as a past industry person, I say that as
someone who survived the industry, not just Bitcoin, not just crypto, but the music industry,
the cannabis industry, the streets. I thank you guys for letting me throw emojis, I apologize
for using the soundboard, I just came from stupid clubhouse. So, Elon, hit up your boy, Hutch,
so we can fix this shit. Thank you. Hope you feel better. Thank you for coming up and
participating. What's up, bad brothers? Go ahead. Yeah, prophets, we have breaking news. The team
has gotten to me, and they're seeing on the timeline that you have- Wait, what team? D-God's team?
They admitted to you that they made you motherfuckers upgrade just to go back to fucking season one?
Is that what you're trying to tell me? Yeah, the team is actually researching that. They're going to get
back to me soon, but you can actually now make tweets, and only people with blue check marks
could, you know, apply comment to those tweets. So, obviously, that's going to, you know, definitely
affect the algorithm. You know, we'll have to update the course. Why would that be smart? Zero, isn't that
a bad idea? That's bad. It can at least prevent the bots, I guess. I don't give a fuck. Now that we
getting paid, go ahead. If you get scammed into my post, you're an idiot. Don't fucking click links.
Duh! Yeah, so the team is going to update the course on how to monetize
your ex to reflect this new, you know, reality. I need that gas money Elon been sending every
other week, bro. That shit comes in fucking handy. Fuck. Anyway, thank you, Mr. Bad Brothers.
Profits, have you just been giving that all to your listeners anyways? I think, like you
always say, drop your Elon. I mean, that's a great point as well. I give away at least $100 a
week on these spaces. So, great. Yeah, exactly. What's up, Emlo? Talk to me.
What's up? I mean, honestly, I've been vibing with a lot of the art that's been happening
in the market right now. I think that, like, a lot of people are kind of a little bit upset
with what's going on with PFP side and have moved over to the one-of-ones or editions.
And I think that, like, that was something that I had anticipated for a while, which is why
I kind of moved my bags over to the art side a while ago. But I think that, like, moving
forward, people should definitely focus on their favorite artists and make sure that,
like, they're supporting those artists because, like, they don't have the $100 million in the
bank that a lot of these other projects have. They're struggling. They need help. Like, and
the best way to help them and support them is by buying their art. It's very simple. Like,
just support them and be good patrons. And, like, when the bull comes, you'll be in a
better place because you've supported these artists that are actually building in the
bear and, like, are going to be the top builders in the space come bull.
I completely agree.
That's all you're going to say, William? Jesus Christ. Manny, go ahead.
No, my bad. Sorry, I got cut off.
What the fuck?
No, I was going to say, no, I completely agree. Like, I've upped my one-of-ones by, like,
100x this week. Just saying.
Dude, I've been out there just digging one-of-ones. I'm hoping. I know hope's not a great thing to
say in any space, especially when you're investing. You know, eventually I'll come
across the next people, right? I'll come across the next best artist out there. And
it's really, it wouldn't even be a reason to sell. It would just be, A, I have a piece
of something they've created. And that's the way I look at it specifically. I have no
intentions. Like, I've upped my NFT game slash one-of-ones. Like, I'm at, like I said,
like, I'm at a thousand right now. And I have, I have really not much intention of selling
those unless they do something stupid, right? Like, if I bought a $5,000 one, it turned into
a million dollars, you're going to sell it. So I'm going to buy it. But outside of that,
you know, I'm trying to hold on to whatever I have and just kind of, you know, play the
space like, just like that. I think a lot of people don't look at it as art. They look
at it as money. And you got to get something back when the market gives to you. And I, I got
given a lot last cycle and, you know, I lost a lot in my first cycle from 17 to 19, but
I got given a lot back in the last cycle, like significant numbers. And, you know, like
I'm, I'm more than willing to get some of that back through, through one-of-ones and
find art pieces and so on and so forth. But yeah, I, I love the art side. I've been paying
a lot of attention to that specifically. I think just, it's a sleeper really looking to
explode in the space. Whereas like a lot of people are just too focused, hyper-focused on,
you know, what's my D guy going to do? Or what's my, what's my, uh, base-y going to do
or whatever. Whereas I think art is, is a beautiful thing. And there's a lot to be said
when you look into an art piece, right? There's a lot to be said. There's a lot you can think
what the artist was thinking when they were, when they were creating a piece. And I don't
know, man, I'm just, I'm lost for words with it when it comes to, I'm minting daily right
now. Like I'm just, I'm so infatuated with the art side of the space.
I was on mute. My bad. What's up? I'm getting you up here right now, fam.
Darío, que lo que? How you been? What's the vibe?
I'm here at a Planet Fitness in the Bronx cooking, doing work, because I'm a fox.
In the Bronx? That sounds unsafe. You have a bulletproof vest on.
I don't need it, all right? They know, they know how big I am. They can see me outside if
they need to. But all that to say, yo, what's up, prophets? I love seeing you hustle out here
in these NFT, quote unquote, bear market streets. And I really love that multiple people have
said that art has always been and always will be the play. I'm glad that the PFP game is tanking
to the floor. Except for people like Luca, who's actually making money at Walmart. So shout
out to him. But outside of that, I'm out here. I just want to encourage y'all to go and hustle.
There's a lot of people in this space that all they're doing is listening to spaces when
they could be listening to spaces on a damn treadmill. They could be working out. They
could be freaking reading a book. They could be online right now learning the code. They
could be doing a billion things. And instead, they're playing Call of Duty. They're playing
freaking ballcraft when they should be hustling. And then they're going to cry and say, oh,
man, life is hard. Well, mind you, my washed ass, who's 30 plus years old, is out here
with three kids and a whole family running around circles around y'all. So what you
doing? Cause you're just wanting something. You should be beating me. You should be, you
should be cooking. Don't look at profits. This is her hustle. This is what she's supposed
to be doing. What you doing? Cause you, you getting entertained? Nah, dog. Come on, get
outside and let's go. And, uh, shout out to those who can't because, uh, they could, they
would. But, uh, yeah, peace of the Middle East and peace of the homies in Russia and
Ukraine. Cause man, I don't know. I woke up today and I was like, yo, I got an opportunity
God given that a lot of people don't have. And I'm, if I, if I wasted this on me. So
whether it's art, whether it's a business e-commerce, whether it's freaking coding, whatever it is,
please like take advantage of the gifts that you got to be out here. Ignore that whole bear
market bull crap. It's a lie about all these, all these web two companies. They're all going
to come into NFTs regardless, like trust. They're all coming into blockchain regardless. You keep
going and just don't waste your time. All right. That's it.
Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom. Everybody give a follow to that guy, Darío, good guy in web 3. I fuck
with him. I stamp him. What's up, uh, Angry? Back to you.
What up, what up, y'all? So one thing I want to talk about, which I think sometimes we'll call,
you know, Gary B., you know, we'll make jokes about him talking about that penis and the
penguin guy, right? Made by a scammy friend. But, you know, one of the things Scott touched
on was the fact that when you're making connections, it's good to help people. So I just want to
like put the room up on game. There's a Gary V. book called Punch, Punch, Jab. I don't know
if anybody in here has ever read that. That book is all about giving before we ask, right?
And I think a lot of people obviously coming from the bull to now, it's all about asking,
taking. It's all about trying to manipulate to overcome. But a lot of us here have different
expertise, right? And I think it's imperative that for us to grow, the opportunity here is
also about what we can do to help others. And what that opportunity looks like is where
we basically, when you say punch, punch, jab, that is I give, I give, I give, and maybe then
somebody will be able to help me based on what I've given. And I just felt like I was moved
to stay at that profit.
Man, I miss those angry takes. Appreciate you as always. What's up, Maha? How you been?
What's the vibe?
What's going on, guys? Finally, recovering from sickness a bit. So I'm back to the work grind
again, just trying to catch up today and going through emails, getting on meetings, you know,
just all the good stuff. What about you guys?
We are currently having a party in the Web3 Exposed Discord. The link is in my bio. I'm about
to drop some sneak peeks.
Yo, we cooking in here, y'all. This is lit, bro. Hey, I feel like-
Finally, you're in there, bitch.
Hey, nah, because y'all, like, I had this, what do you call it? And I hate to say, shell
shock, right? Like, y'all know. And shout out to everyone who's making fun of Luca. You can hate
me. I literally ran a cook group. That's how I found Web3. So you want to be mad at arbitrage
and resellers? I made the boss that got every PlayStation so you couldn't get one for your
son. Be mad at me. I'm excited.
I'm mad at you, Scott.
It reminds me of that.
I'm mad at you, Scott.
I'm sorry, y'all. I'm going to make it up to you, bro. I'm going to make it up to you,
bro.
My baby bro was crying, dog. He was crying, bro.
I'm going to make it up to you, bro. I'm going to make it up to you, bro. I'm going to make
it up to you, bro. I swear. I swear on our sons, bro.
I'm going to make it up to you, bro. But no, we're like literally giving like screenshots
of like how that, like everything that we talked about, it feels good right now because
like we can show examples like how to do it. So yeah, send them connects. Don't follow
me. Connect, you know, send that connection and I'll accept it. Well, yeah, like I'm having
fun endorsing y'all right now. Like, yeah, I told you we ain't capping, like really doing
this shit. So this is dope, man. Like spice them LinkedIn profiles up. You know what I
mean? Like I get to endorsing, Hey, all those things we told you about as well. The Google
AI courses, the Harvard AI courses, uh, the web three courses, yo, you can link these to
your LinkedIn as credentials with the link to the credential. And this will put your, when
you apply for jobs, you, now you hit certain algorithms and this only, this is, this is better
if there's not a human who posted the job. If the human posted the job, hit that, connect
with that motherfucker instantly. Like whoever, if that was a hiring manager, partnerships,
BD, dude, that's the instant connection. I would even apply, connect with them. If they
accept that, yo, I'm interested in this job. And now LinkedIn's AI actually will write a
message for you. So now you have no excuse. It knows that you're connecting with that BD
because you want to apply and it'll write a preface message for you. So literally there's
no fucking excuse. Of course, tailored to your style. You know what I mean? You don't
want to sound like off, but it literally writes a message for you. You hit one button and it
writes the whole thing for you. So literally no excuse, but yeah, sorry, profits. I'm super
hyped up. Like I didn't know it was going to just start cooking like that.
Nah, big love. We've been building this for a minute. Um, tons of free stuff there. Go
check out the channels. I'm adding stuff all the time. I just dropped some sneak
peeks. I'm not going to lie. I'm very nervous because I've been working on these
designs with Stone for a long ass time. Shout out to Stone Mac, the official
designer for Web3 Exposed. Uh, fuck man. I can't believe I just dropped it. I hope you
guys like it. Kenny Grifty T is almost done. That is going to be a super banger. Shout out
to Scott on the original idea as well. Hutch, go ahead.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Just wanted to say,
um, actually I wanted to ask if there's anywhere or way, um, I reinvented my, my Twitter or
for lack of better words, but I'm probably the oldest dude on the stage with the, the, uh,
emoji power. Um, I'm also a father and as I said, I'm physically down right now, but obviously,
uh, uh, emoji ready. Anyone that would say, uh, I own very little Solana, but I own some Solana.
I own very little USD, but I got a couple bucks. Anyone with advice, tips or tricks, please DM me.
Um, and, uh, I hope everyone has a beautiful day. Thank you.
Legend.
Legend.
Wow. What a show. Amazing. As always, you guys are
the best Monday underway. Doesn't even feel like a Monday. Feels fucking just amazing.
Um, Liz, I know you chimed in. Did you want to add anything?
No, I didn't know how to chime in, but, um,
Nigga, you, you chimed in by getting on stage, motherfucker.
Oh, okay. Well, then I will say, um, market sentiment. Sorry, Will, that I missed them because
I really wanted you to tell us how the market went up, even though everybody expected it to go down.
So market manipulation was at its finest today and your girl finally like reaped some benefits. Yay.
There will never be another fucking people. Whoever said that, like, don't even fucking go there.
I don't know who it was, but we're not going to go into those details. Um, but Scott, I do agree
with you. Pay attention to those who are building now because they're definitely here to stay.
Anyone that's willing to deal with this shit right now is definitely, um, something to keep in mind
with art that I really did love was that it does get better with time as artists grow,
their fans base grow and their low, their lore continues. So investing in the right artists
is a place of fucking be at learn a skill. Whoever said that is a fricking genius. Also learn to read
the charts. Don't sleep on PFPs. Whoever said that's a fucking hater, it's membership based because
it's still going to be prevailing in the future. And, um, you're weird if you're mad at Luca.
That's it.
I need to respond to this. I need to respond to this.
Just saying. All right. I did speak on my charts went up. I want to explain that. All right.
Second off. Yes, you are correct. There won't be another people, but I'm looking for the next person
who will be coming up similar to, but will not be the same as people.
So that's going to be me.
To be honest, people don't got no, nothing. My bad, Darío. People has nothing on the merch that we're about to drop.
Just saying. Darío, what'd you say?
No, don't look no further. That's going to be me. I can say that for sure.
I have a drop with Nifty Kid happening next week because I was picked by a few, by the team.
I'm telling you, I'm cooking, but I'm only here to respond to this and say, uh, PFPs are definitely going down.
I hope, but, uh, it's going to be, it's going to be art, baby girl. It's going to be art.
Feel, feel bad about your monkey JPEG. But, uh, now we out here.
I did agree with the art, um, aspect. Definitely invest into the right artist because, you know,
once these people get a fan base and their lore starts to like to really develop, like there's no overcoming it.
For a perfect example, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, uh, movie director. So I'm with that,
but I'm also with the PFPs because we do like things that are like membership based.
We do like meeting up with people. We do like the Starbucks things.
We do like those kinds of things. Lustance is something that Scott's always about.
And those are PFP like membership, like stuff. So, eh, still bullish on them.
Get your approved pass. Get your approved pass.
Oh no, isn't that a PFP? We're not with those, aren't we?
Okay.
Yo, anybody talk shit about my monkey JPEG again is going down. Um, Hutch, go ahead.
Oh, I don't think I unmuted. Um, but I may have talked to some poop about something. I'm,
I'm just old and, um, I may have hit the wrong thing. Can I be someone's people? Is that an
inappropriate question? Um, I'm not sure what it, huh?
People goes all the way. How far are you willing to go to be the next people?
How old are you, Liz? Let's start there.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What the fuck is going on?
Hutch.
Lock him.
Hutch, I'm going to whoop your ass. You took a fucking inch.
Motherfucker.
This is what I get for running after seven o'clock.
El fucking freckles come out after seven o'clock. Go ahead, Maha.
He's got a Dominican flag on this joint. I said, hold on. Wait a minute.
My face literally looked like this, guys, for like, like a minute. Like, that's all it looked
like. Just like this. That was a comment. All right. Anyways.
You are not. Fuck it. I thought men don't ask women their age.
No, I was just saying, like, I was astonished. I was like, what in the, like, how did, like,
go? Legal.
Anyways, back on topic.
Legal.
Legal.
Back on topic. Oh, my gosh.
Dang, let's talk about art. Anyways.
No, no, I'm going to show up for a second because if you guys want art, go check out
Deriv, man. That's somebody who's just art. It's just artists. You can discover artists.
See them before they're discovered. So, Deriv, it's with two I's. Go check it out. They're
doing a mint per week right now at .01, by the way, guys. And it's pretty fucking dope.
First 15 people get rewards. So, and if you do all 30, because they have 30 weeks going,
massive fucking reward at the end, which is cool. So, I'm not even going to tell you what
it is.
Bro.
Look, I.
This is what I get. This is what I get. You guys start shilling shit.
And then Will starts agreeing with it.
Look, look, look. No, no. I wasn't, I wasn't agreeing with Shilling. I'm just saying,
like, I've been, I've been literally.
Don't double down. Don't double down, Will. Don't double down.
Don't double down. I want to hear from M3. What's going on? The most beautiful girl
on the timeline.
Thanks, Profits. This is exactly how I look like, everybody. This is me. This is my PFP.
I don't have an OnlyFans or a Frentech. So, yeah. Profits, where are my J Balvin threes?
I didn't get them, and I was waiting for my text from you, and I never got it. Just a woman
in waiting.
Hey, guys. I just want to take time to let you guys know, you know, don't leave Web3.
You know, there's this guy who used to come here called Chout, and he never shows up anymore.
He just fucked off and, like, what do you call it? You know, he's not going to be there.
Nah, he watches my Instagram stories. All right. With that being said, Web3 Exposed has went live
again and had another banger episode. We go live every day except Wednesdays, 3.45 p.m. Eastern.
Turn on post notifications so you don't miss out. Also, jump into the Discord link in bio.
Shout out to Scott. Literally giving alpha right now in the LinkedIn chat. You are broke.
You are in Web3. You have a skill set. Get in that motherfucker and get a job!
Scott, he's going to take you!
Anyway, thank you guys for tuning in, as always. It's an amazing show.
Make sure you follow everybody, not just the speakers, not just my beautiful self,
but the people in the room. You don't know who you're going to meet.
There's all types of founders, VCs, business development people, creators, artists that listen
daily for the vibe, for the education, and they don't want to come up. They don't want to speak,
or they just can't. So they chill in the crowd, and you never know who you're going to connect with.
So make sure you engage. I just dropped a sneak peek on some apparel that will be dropping on the
website this week. Very, very excited. There's going to be a free apparel claim for OG Exposed
community members. Unfortunately, I can only probably give away 25. I'm trying to do 50,
but I'm throwing a really big Art Basel event, and I'm trying to be smart. But, but, but,
this is high quality clothing. This is not no Gildan, respectfully. This is not no NFT merch,
respectfully. This is some high quality shit. Fucking essentials ain't got shit on me. Gallery
ain't got shit on me. Like, this is some really good stuff. And I'm excited as fuck because I'm
sharing it with you all. Very sensitive about my ideas. But hey, how the fuck are y'all ever going
to see if I don't show you? So here we go. Very excited. Very, very, very, very fucking
excited. Anyway, thank you all for the support. As always, we appreciate you. We fuck with
you. Don't worry. There's no NFT for sale in that damn discord. Me and Scott have a major
announcement later this week. So stay tuned for that. There's even a new Twitter space
coming with it. Oh my God. Anyway, Scotty, any new announcements? Anything you want to share
before we end? No, I just seen, uh, so funny. Just seen Nike. Just got the, uh, the thing
on LinkedIn that, uh, they're hiring for machine learning. Nice. I have told you every day is
going to be a new company going, yo, we don't have time to do all these different 20,000 hour
models. We're just going to hire some legends. And then you're going to have people like open
AI can swoop everything up, but listen to your favorite, you know, your growth hackers telling
you to get away from web three and AI. Um, not going to make it, man. And I hope you guys listen
to zero zero is really good at, at like forecasting the next three to six months. And dude, he's like
called everything. Right. So like he does like, dude has a great job, a great life. He doesn't have
to do this shit. He literally does it. Good cares. And yeah, man, I just hope you guys listen to him.
And I appreciate Smokey, uh, and fucking everyone else. Shout out to my, you know, my legendary
bro. I know you're busy as hell. And this is why I love the show because you guys make
time to come here and drop knowledge. And yeah, man, I'm just excited to be able to do
this side by side with, uh, you guardians of the space.
Big love, Mr. Principal Fool. He changed his nickname. You know, it's real fuckers. He's
stuck in that hole now. I was trying to change it. I was like, why isn't it working? And
then you, I think you changed it. We out here, bro. Let's get it. Uh, William, anything you
want to share, friend, before we end? Oh my God. That's a first. Thank you guys for being
