Good morning, good morning, good morning, GM, GM.
Hey, Pony, hey, T-Web3, what's up, guys, re-X the space, I'm back, finally, finally,
finally, for the only space of the week, I believe, from the Moonshot community, but
better, better just this than nothing, busy times for us, but please re-X the room, we're
If you want to come up, say hello, we'd love to, we have a lot to catch up on, so, yeah,
I'm really happy to be back, fully energized.
Sorry, that was the wrong song, my bad.
Oh, no, help me, darling, please, you see me round here.
Oh, no, help me, darling, please, you see me round here.
In the night, on my knees, you take me down, now my smile around, that I'll ever get out.
Oh, no, help me, darling, please, you see me round here.
In the night, on my knees, you take me down, now my smile around, that I'll ever get out.
Last time, she'll come down, she's put her lovin' all over this town.
It says she carry, carry silver dagger, lady never staggered and cut me down.
Oh, no, how am I gonna make it through, all these things I fall victim of because of you.
She take me under, ooh, my heart got thunder, girl got me beatin' through the sea.
Last time, she'll come down, she's put her lovin' all over this town.
It says she carry, carry silver dagger, lady never staggered and cut me down.
All right, good morning, welcome, everyone.
Hope you guys are doing okay.
I feel like I was trying to keep up with everything.
I feel like I did an okay job just to, you know, be checked in as much as I could.
But, you know, I ended up turning off my phone two days in a row.
Of course, I turn it on at night, early in the morning and at night.
But, you know, during the day, it's just nice.
It's just a nice feeling sometimes to just be completely, like, hidden.
If you want to come up, hang out.
Hello, Gordon, Yamaza, Christine, so many people.
I am trying to get a grip on the week before it already runs away from me.
We're going to do our reveal on Wednesday for the 40 who haven't seen their NFTs.
Then Thursday, I'm flying to Santa Fe to do the NFT Santa Fe event at Meow Wolf.
So, yeah, we both got a big week.
You got your talk in Vegas.
I'm sure you're going to tell everyone about it here.
And I'm going to be setting up my Discord finally, too.
So, a lot of stuff to do.
Get ready for the next drop.
It looked like you were having an incredible time at the beach.
Well, I definitely want to talk about all your achievements this week because it was huge.
But no, my week was, you know, I just decided to, like, okay, as a European person, I have this theory.
If you really, really want to take a vacation, you need three weeks.
One week is, like, dipping your toe.
You know, that's what the people do that in Europe.
You know, in August, they just pretty much take the whole month off.
Because here's what happens.
The first week, you're so tired.
You're just going to sit on the beach, stare, like, at the blank.
Blank stare in your face and, like, just do nothing.
Like, you're not productive at all because you're literally dead.
So you're trying to recharge as much as possible.
Second week is when you want to, like, diversify what you do.
You know, like, live a different life a little bit.
Or, like, you know, do some different things that help you boost, you know, your liveliness a little bit.
Try living in different environments.
And the third week is when you want to go back to work.
You know, the third week is when you're like, oh, my God, I'm so bored.
I want to go back to work because I have all this energy.
So that's how we do it over in Europe.
I don't think it's a thing here in America.
So, you know, I was like...
The only time I had three weeks off in the last ten years was when I was recovering from surgery.
Hey, Nifty Cat, good to hear your voice.
I'm stoked to see your play and songs in action.
You've been so supportive.
But I was going to chime in, too.
We just don't know how to do this in America.
You know, we look at all, like, we look at Europe and they're like, ah, summer vacation.
They're off for, like, six weeks.
Like, meanwhile, we're, like, arguing with our boss about taking one week off.
I mean, not going to lie, that's another reason I quit my damn job finally.
It was like, I'm just tired of that shit, too.
In addition to wanting to just do the music.
I mean, it's not like we're not going to be working harder.
But, yeah, like, me, you were just able to go, like, I'm taking a second week off.
I'm just getting chilled out.
I'm not, you know, these guys will be back when I'm back.
And I'm going to be better when I get back here.
And you've got to do that.
We just don't know how to freaking do it in the U.S.
I mean, I think it's, like, a matter of mindset, you know.
Like, in America, you're kind of, like, you're on your own in many ways.
So, it's kind of up to you, right?
It's just a completely different system over there where you get paid vacation, you know.
And you get, like, you know, your sick days don't interact with your vacation days.
It's a completely different thing.
But, I think, you know, I was able.
But, to be honest, it was hard.
Like, it's, that's what I'm saying.
Three weeks is the right way.
Because the first week, you're tired trying to completely switch off.
Like, I had to turn my phone off and leave it in my room before I went out.
Because, otherwise, I would, like, I would be so drawn back to it, you know.
Like, it's just hard to switch off.
You feel, oh, no, I'm missing out.
Like, time really does go much slower when your phone is off.
I don't know if you've noticed that.
How do you handle, like, the back of your mind, though, of, like, the messages building in your DMs or emails?
Because you're like, oh, I'm turning my phone off, but then I'm going to have a pile of stuff to deal with.
As someone who DMs her all the time, can confirm.
The pile exists anyway, so it's just going to go from bad to really bad.
And I'm like, at this point, I can't.
There's only so much I can do.
So, yeah, like, I got to the conclusion, you know, there's nothing that can't wait for a few days.
And sometimes it's just helpful to think about it a little longer, you know.
But, again, I did nothing.
I just, you know, couch potato on the beach.
I did see a lot of dolphins, though, which was amazing.
I'd never seen dolphins, like, close up.
And there was a lot of dolphins just coming through all day and swimming, like, 50 feet from the beach.
So you could really go close.
And, you know, that was beautiful.
So that was the highlight of my trip, just seeing dolphins almost, almost being able to touch them.
So, yeah, but it seems like a lot happened.
So, Tony, actually, tell me.
Like, you minted out this week, last week.
Instead of it taking the two to three weeks I was hoping for, it took closer to six to seven when it was all done.
In context, though, obviously, we know it's a very bare market right now.
And so the, you know, the idea that we faced those headwinds and just kept grinding away, you know, and you know this very well.
We let us sale by sale sometimes, conversation by conversation.
It's almost like, you know, at this stage, at least of the project, it's like bake sale.
It's like we have a bake sale.
I don't know if you have those in Europe, but it's like you go and you buy brownies for a dollar or two, you know, to raise money for something.
So it felt like definitely bake sale mode toward the end, one conversation at a time, one sale at a time.
But, you know, really, and I've got a mega, mega giant posting I'm working on about this V and I'm going to shoot out later today.
Lessons learned, et cetera.
We grind it through and we kept at it.
And we really, really found a base of about 70 true collectors for this first drop of 100.
And that was really important to me.
You and I chatted about this, you know, maybe do some promotions, maybe do some giveaways.
The only promotion I did was I offered a custom song at mid number 75.
And even that, I mean, so that whoever's collecting there is interested in the art and some future utility and not in an NFT that they can turn right around and flip if they so desire.
So it's not a primarily financial motivation.
I really resisted that right now.
I'm going to do bigger drops of more songs in the next set of drops for Judgment Day and I will do promotions then.
There'll be a time and place for that.
So that was one of the things I stuck very firm on.
I did not want to deal with that.
I really wanted to find a group of true collectors who, you know, they're going to form.
I'm calling you all now my disciples.
My disciples and going forward are acolytes who are going to spread the good word of Judgment Day and really help us build awareness around this really cool project.
So I feel I feel amazing considering that.
And I think the other big thing, V, is, you know, I really wanted to demonstrate it to everyone involved.
And you knew this because you already knew me and a handful of folks here know me.
But, you know, I just I want to make it clear that I'm going to deliver that.
You know, this is what I do, whether it's tech startups or, you know, one off installation projects at Burning Man or some custom, you know, event.
I'm going to bring the goods, you know, always.
And, you know, in addition to the album, that's going to be the live production.
And as you know, it's just the beginning.
We signed on a production partner.
I'm still trying to figure out when we're going to announce.
So to me, it's all of a piece.
You know, it took a little longer and I had some anxiety around that, mostly, again, because I wanted to demonstrate to the folks that are collecting that I'm here for the long haul.
And, you know, I've really fed off that support and enthusiasm for the folks who are in the project.
And it's probably about a two third mix of like Web3 types.
And my my group of folks who are, you know, much more on the spatial computing 3D metaverse side, who maybe this was the first NFT they bought.
So there's some onboarding going on, too.
Long story short, feel really great.
And we're taking a little bit breather on the, you know, next NFT drop, but we're planning it.
It's going to be multiple songs, probably like four hundred four songs just because there's a lot of overhead and work involved in launching it, you know, tracking it and all that.
So it's going to be bigger, but it will be the same idea that it's limited set of songs connected to the numbered cards.
We're just going to do multiple at the same time this time, but it'll still be a blind mint.
So this time, you know, you'll be like, I don't know which of the four songs I'm going to get.
So, you know, changing the game rules a little bit, but sticking to the same rarity structure, maybe introduce a few extra things.
But that's all, you know, taking time.
Raina's working on the art.
I'm thinking about structuring it, you know, the drop and working with Robin on that and talking to a friend about getting the discord set up.
So, yes, breathe and enjoy this week on talk at Santa Fe about all the stuff we're all doing as a family, as artists supporting each other and then come back and get that next drop ready.
You know, I can only imagine, but but I admire you for, you know, I like I know it's tough.
You went from only doing like 20 was a 24 the first one to like big jump to 100, you know, with significant like utility and price.
You know, it's it was not like a super, super cheap NFT.
So, I mean, that's the way to go.
Like you need you need that also motivation to keep building, I think, you know, and that's what I've been thinking also in the past week.
I did a lot of thinking or like, is it worth, you know, is it probably worth sticking to your vision through this?
And not letting whatever market or what people say slow you down.
It's it's just if you have a strong enough vision, you're going to get through it.
And, you know, thank you.
My enthusiasm and support during this was invaluable via a lot on a personal level.
You know, can't express my appreciation enough, but also just your story and your, you know, what you've done in the last year and a half to two years is has been a kind of North Star because you have always stuck to that vision on your own projects.
And you don't get too swayed by someone coming at you with a new gizmo or a new idea or a bunch of B.S., you know, or, you know, I don't know, trying to kind of reframe the conversation in the market.
And, you know, NFTs going to zero and all that other B.S.
Like stay true to it, because, you know, at some point, the bull we know, the bull is going to come back if we could predict when we would all be billionaires already.
But we know it's going to happen.
And then we're in a cycle, you know, down cycle.
But, you know, we see that, you know, it's going to come out the other end.
There will be bulls again.
And imagine the nonsense that's going to ensue in the next bull cycle, like when everyone starts coming in with all the money starts coming in, when there's even more startups vying for our attention, when the media companies, you know, in the wake of everything else going on, start coming at us with knives.
I mean, it's the next one's going to be fucking crazy, V. So having the compass, you know, having that direction in mind and that vision is what is going to ground us right now, I think, you know, in the next in the coming months.
And then then the final ingredient, I think, is like, do we have the staying power?
I mean, for some people, it's it's it's largely a financial matter.
Right. And so, you know, can we can we grind through a few more months to several months of, you know, this time to get to when things are really going to be going?
Well, and maybe when ETH is, you know, flying up again and people can actually take some gains and all these other things, you know, can we get there?
You know, I know I'm going to be able to survive it.
I'm confident in my abilities and just where I am financially to be able to stick through lean times.
But I think that's a big factor for a lot of people, too. Right.
I mean, not everyone maybe has the luxury or didn't, you know, make bank on an earlier collection.
And, you know, they really, you know, that cash is an issue right now.
So, I mean, you can't I wouldn't judge people either too much in times like this.
Maybe we can judge them when things are going better.
Yeah. So all that's a factor to be.
But, yeah, for me, I'm just like really having strong, you know, figures as exemplars right now is really guiding my action.
And so I didn't really panic through all this.
I was just like, yeah, stay the course.
Timing is what it is. It's out of our control.
Let's just do what we do.
I believe in the art. I believe in the people involved.
And that's going to get me through it.
Absolutely. And thank you.
Thank you for the kind words towards me as well.
I was actually just reflecting myself, like, how in the hell did I do, like, those hours last year?
Like, right now, I was like, how was that possible?
Because, like, my kind of my experience has changed a little bit.
You know, I feel like last year was a lot about like a numbers game.
You know, I just had to be on spaces all the time, all the time, all the time, gather people, gather people, gather people nonstop.
And then the second year, like, my entire experience is changing where I don't have to do that as much anymore.
But I have to maintain and at the same time progress what I have, right?
So, like, community, utility, tools that we're building, all those things that is actually a lot harder than what I was doing last year.
Like, now I'm much more like, oh, my God, how do I do this?
And so sometimes, you know, like, sometimes it's hard to keep the vision going, especially when you are doing a lot of, like, you know, grunt stuff that you really like.
I wish I could be on spaces all day and just sing again.
But at the time, it felt really like a lot.
But I don't know where I'm going with this.
But just I'm also thinking, you know, on a daily basis, like, keep your eyes on the prize and don't forget what it is and don't get wrapped up and all the little things, you know, along the way while still stopping and smelling the flowers along the way.
You know, it's a difficult balance.
But I want to go say hi to Rosa.
And we have one also here on the stage, which, by the way, is one of my first ever, ever collectors.
Like, first, first, first, first, first.
So, as his name says, yes, from January 2022.
Like, and we're going to meet this week.
So I'm going to I'm excited in Vegas.
I just wanted to say two things, which is welcome back.
I also just took two weeks off following the drop of my Genesis.
And, yeah, we definitely need the time off.
And I feel you being European and just wanting to take, like, an entire month to reset.
And the second thing I just want to say to Tony, like, a major, major congratulations for your drop.
Like I just said, I recently did my Genesis, like, my first ever drop in a bear market.
But I think as well, like, the fact that you've managed to mince 70, firstly, is incredible.
And I'm actually kind of happy that I released my Genesis in a bear market.
But the thing is, I swear to God, if you gave me a piece of paper, because it's a bear market,
I think I could name about 40 to 50 of the collect of those 84 collectors.
And the rest, I can't because I'm really dyslexic and have a bad memory.
But, like, I kind of like that element in a way.
And so I'm very excited for when it's going to be a bull market again, or who isn't, of course.
But at the same time, there's definitely beauty in it being bear.
And, like, I think we should continue dropping.
I'm already planning my second drop for October, actually.
And the biggest lesson I've learned from it was something that Miss V taught me,
which is I'm going to price it higher.
Because I priced my last one at $5, which was way too cheap.
And it actually did kind of, like, undervalue my art.
And considering there was, like, live haunts in it, I think I'm going to do my next one at at least $20, if not $25.
Which is still affordable.
Like, it's still affordable for what it is.
But, yeah, major congrats, Tony.
I'm definitely going to be picking one up in the next few days.
I just spent way too much money clubbing in Greece with my friends.
But once I have this payment come through, I'm going to pick one up.
Yeah, you'll have to get the first drop on the secondary.
But there will be another drop in the next few weeks.
We don't have the date set yet.
And or, you know, there may be other ways to obtain one.
But, no, congrats to you.
You're incredibly talented.
And, yeah, I hope you did learn that lesson of maybe, yeah, price it a little bit higher.
I mean, only you can set the value on this stuff.
You and, of course, the market together.
Don't let anyone else tell you.
But, you know, we're going to tell you.
V and I are going to tell you, raise your prices.
You're incredibly talented.
You're only selling a certain amount of these.
You have other musicians to pay.
You have your own overhead.
I mean, you have to figure all that stuff out for yourself and make it work for you financially.
There's nobody who's going to wave a magic wand and just give it to you, right?
Especially in this day and age we're in right now where everyone just seems to want to take a piece and not give anything back.
But, yeah, I mean, you are so incredibly talented that those words mean a lot.
And can't wait for the next one.
I'm excited for you, Rose.
So I think, see, the thing with the price, I think it, like, you really just have to look at, okay, how much effort did I put into this?
How much money did I spend making it?
How much do I need to make to make that money back, you know?
And that can give me enough to maybe provide some utility and things like that.
It's like an honest conversation, you know?
And as long as you have that honest conversation, it's not like you're, you're, you know, scamming anyone or anything like that, you know?
So I really think, but, again, like, there's nothing wrong with the low price.
But when I heard it, I was like, damn, this is really good.
And I can hear there was a big hole, like, machine behind it, you know?
I knew how much it would take you to make that.
But I didn't mean to, you know, deroute you or anything like that.
But I'm glad that you're, you're thinking about it for sure.
How have you spoken in ages?
It's been a minute, yeah.
I've, I guess my advice to everyone is, you know, I've had some music ready for a while.
I've had, like, this 888 music NFT project ready for a while.
I had all the metadata kind of ready.
But I think also just being patient and, like, if you have a vision for something, patience is important to really execute on your vision.
But I don't think it's important to necessarily tie yourself to any of the outcomes.
Like, I think with this space, the biggest thing is that when you do something on the blockchain, it's there forever.
And I think, really, if you have a story, if you have a vision, like, for me, I don't care.
As long as I can explain the story of the team, because I really focused on building a team this last year, kind of disappeared.
But I feel like I have an amazing team.
I feel like I have the grounds where we can succeed and continue to go.
But as long as I tell the story, as long as the art and music speaks for itself, and as long as you have a vision behind something, it doesn't really matter.
At least to me, this is my opinion.
Because if you tie yourself to the outcomes, it's just going to be very, you can say, oh, this didn't succeed.
But, like, you just have to have this unwavering kind of passion and persistence and patience behind what you do.
And I think the universe will kind of align everything.
So I really believe in the art that I've put together.
I really believe in everything.
And then it's just really a matter of sharing the story.
And it's going to be there forever.
I mean, it doesn't really matter if it's a month, if it's six months, if it takes years.
But I do think at some point, as long as the story is there, and as long as the art is there, and as long as people can experience it, it'll speak for itself.
And I put, like, 100% effort into kind of having really cool artwork.
Like, I have a really cool golden egg.
And all of this is, like, you know, I've been working on.
I have this whole team in Nigeria.
And I have these crazy splits where this is going to actually make it for them.
Like, once this project sells out in the future here, it's going to give them the ability to get the equipment they need.
Like, I'm taking such a small portion of it because I really believe, like, the whole point for me, the whole point of this project, the whole point of everything is to share.
You know, without a producer, without the singers, without the whole team, there's nothing.
And I'd rather take a much smaller cut and share with everyone and share everyone's story individually.
And I think eventually, whether it's a month, six months, a year, people will resonate.
So, yeah, I would just say bear market, bull market, it doesn't really matter.
I think just put 100% of your effort.
A lot of people are so focused on the market.
Put 100% of the effort into the product and the vision, and it'll speak for itself.
I've been hearing, we've been kind of keeping in touch, you know, sporadically through it all.
And I've been hearing a lot about what you're doing from you.
Thanks for keeping me updated, for sure.
But so I do, I am excited because we're going to see each other this week.
So you live in Vegas, right?
I didn't realize that you lived in Vegas.
I moved to Vegas, actually, this last year and a half.
It's been such a crazy journey.
I have a producer in Romania.
I'm actually going again next week to record with the lead singer for Mamma Mia.
And then finally, there's someone who is actually big on Twitter spaces.
Her name's like Francesca Simone.
She was doing a tour with Beyonce, and she was the lead guitarist for Kehlani.
It took me 540 days to get a hold of her, and I finally got her on the album.
So I've just been really persistent, really patient, just really having a vision.
And I've been putting together a team of, like, really talented artists.
So I've been going to Romania and just going in the studio.
And actually, I've been working on a lot of Daft Punk stuff.
So we've spent the last year and a half getting equipment that Daft Punk used to use.
It's, you know, getting a talk box, getting all this stuff.
But the thing is, if you have a vision for a sound, a lot of people kind of skip.
They think, like, plugins can do everything, but it's not plugins.
You need, like, hardware.
You need vintage hardware.
You need, like, really specific stuff to achieve a specific sound.
And I think being patient and willing to invest everything in that and not being in a rush.
Like, this next thing I've been working on, it might take a year.
It might take three years.
I just care that I achieve the sound and the vision of what I want.
And for me, the biggest thing that I was lacking was a team.
So I've been putting together this, like, dream team behind the scenes.
But now I feel like I have the team.
Now it's really just kind of step by step.
So my goal is to, I have this Love Dimension project.
I'm trying to force myself to drop it on 11-11-2-3.
I don't care about the marketing.
I don't care about the promotion.
I have a really cool story.
And I just want to, like, force myself to put a date.
And I worked really, really hard on it for the whole team.
And I think, like, as long as I tell the story, as long as I show everyone, I mean, most of the team, I'd say, like, 70% of the project.
These are people all over the world.
These are unknown artists.
But they're extremely, extremely talented.
And I put a lot of effort into the metadata, just making sure that the metadata is, like, following the metadata standard.
So, yeah, I'm just going to force myself, drop something, do it as best as I can.
And I'd rather learn along the way.
And there's no such thing as failure.
It's just a step forward.
And then, yeah, it's been a crazy journey.
It's my second time going to Romania.
I've been in the studio and stuff.
And it started off with just, like, this crazy spiritual experience a few years ago.
And the universe told me to make music to heal the world.
But I had to be really patient.
You have to, like, to build a dream team, I had to keep following up with people.
I had to keep begging them.
I had to keep being really, really, really, really persistent.
And you can't get discouraged.
But I feel like the people I have on my team, they're all aligned.
And we're all on the same mission here.
I think, like, if you have an idealistic vision that everyone can achieve, if you win, everyone wins.
That's kind of the motto behind my team.
And supporting each other, you know, through the good and the bad, that's what's going to make us unstoppable in the long term.
Super excited to meet you.
Super excited to meet everyone.
And, yeah, I'm just going to definitely drop this project no matter what.
I'm just forcing myself to do it.
And it's really important for my team.
This is actually, you know, $5,000 or whatever, thousands of dollars that the project can make.
In the future, it's very different.
Money works very different in Nigeria.
Like, for them, that $5,000 can get them.
That could pay their rent for an entire year.
It's very, like, that could get their equipment that they need for the rest of their life.
So money works differently in other countries.
But, yeah, everyone needs help on my team.
And I've been supporting them as much as I can.
But I actually officially opened up my publishing company, signing up for the performance rights.
And it's been crazy, just step by step, making this, like, I have really big dreams and really big ambitions.
And, you know, the difference between me and other people is I actually, you know, I spent a few years in the business industry.
And I have, like, a lot of successful businesses.
And I thought it was all useless.
I thought it was, like, why am I doing something I don't care about?
This isn't my passion or my purpose.
But what I realize now is, like, everything is meant to be.
All the things that I learned from my software companies and my businesses, that's the biggest advantage I have in the music industry.
And it's something really, really cool.
So I'm super excited for everything.
And I'm working as hard as I can.
Violetta, you've always been an inspiration behind that, like, hard work.
And, again, I've just been working really hard.
I had this big transition a few months ago where I was, like, I need to be a leader.
And that's kind of what I've seen from you from day one.
And you have to be a leader.
I mean, it just is what it is.
It'll all pay off in the long run.
It's so, so good to hear what you've been up to and catch up.
We'll have plenty of time, I think.
And, yeah, I mean, I'm excited to see it, to hear it.
And just for context, me and Juan met.
Yeah, I think he bought, like, one of the first five NFTs I ever put out.
It was, like, the tail end of the bull market.
But I was still, like, oh, my God, these people are crazy.
But I don't know if you knew, but those early ones, I've been selling for, like, bags lately.
I don't know if you've seen.
They've been doing some private sales and stuff.
But I'm seeing, even though it's bare, I'm seeing people really valuing those early ones.
So, yeah, I'm hoping it will continue and then blow up in the bull market that we're all hoping for.
We have a bunch of friends up here on the stage that I want to say hello to.
I want to say welcome to everyone.
I want to say repost the room.
And I'm truly, utterly disappointed in the number of reposts that I see on this space.
So, if you've not reposted, thank you, Max, if you've not reposted the space, go right ahead and do that right now.
Because that's the only thing that I ask for, okay, in this crazy, crazy bare market, is that you repost the room to your friends.
And that's it, okay, because I am going to lose all my dollars in Vegas this week.
I was just commenting to Max.
My strategy is what I did last year.
I take the most, like, messed up, torn up dollar that I have in my wallet, like $1.
I call it the floppy dollar, okay?
And I play that because I believe in the underdog.
It's going to roll up, like, do you take Ethereum at this casino?
Wait, but how many times did you go to the casino to have, like, a technique?
I only went to Vegas once before, but this technique worked every time.
Just get the most ugly dollar you have in your wallet and use it at the slot machine.
If you lose it, well, you don't want to have that gross dollar in your wallet anyway, right?
That's not worth your worth and your time and your sight.
And if you win, you know, glory to the underdog dollar.
Sorry, Bea, I can't let I call it the floppy dollar go by without some sort of pointing that out.
I call it the floppy dollar.
So, Violetta's strategy for the casino is the floppy dollar strategy.
That's not financial advice.
The Violetta is not a financial advisor.
They're not a security, Gary, if you're watching.
Do your own research, mate.
It's not a security whatsoever.
It's not a guarantee of any kind.
It's just a win-win for you.
Because if you lose it, at least you get rid of that ugly-ass dollar.
If you win it, glory to the floppy dollar.
You know, so that's how I like to see things.
Just find the silver lining in every possible scenario.
But the floppy dollar is one of those that, like, when you hold it, it just flops.
You know, it doesn't, like, it's so worn out that, you know, it has to go somewhere.
So, anyway, that's my strategy.
Thank you for being here.
Today's the only space of the week, I believe.
I will host the Polygon space on Thursday.
So, if anyone wants to come, it was really fun last week.
So, we should do it again.
And I think we traumatized the Polygon community.
Because it started all, like, okay, so what's your journey?
And then we start DJing hard.
So, we're going to do that again.
But I just got news that Jeff, down for a green, is also coming to Vegas.
So, I'm excited about that.
Christiana should be coming.
We should be seeing a lot of people.
But I want to say hi to Jaden and Max and Coop and Kayla also.
But, Jaden, I was listening to your space earlier.
Awesome space, as always.
I see you've been very active, very productive lately.
It's good to hear from you.
You know what I'm saying?
I have a meeting in 20 minutes.
And I was going to take a nap.
But I was like, nah, let me join a space.
And I saw you hosting a space.
Let me hop in here so I don't go to sleep or anything.
I heard you guys talking about Vegas.
So, I got to touch on this real quick.
I've only been there once.
And this is when I was underage.
And I snuck onto a slot machine because I love gambling.
You know what I'm saying?
Even when I was underage.
And then they kicked me out.
But I have the perfect strategy that I think you should take that's way better than the
sloppy dollar mechanic thing you got going on.
You know what I'm saying?
This is what we're doing.
Oh, I want to go to Vegas so bad.
This is what we're doing.
So, you got to start off, right?
With $5, $10, whatever you want to start off with, right?
This works at practically anything.
I'm telling you a foolproof plan.
You know what I'm saying?
So, you start off with $5.
You start off with $50 at a blackjack table.
Buy yourself a drink, right?
If you lose, this is where it gets fun.
If you lose the $50, the next time you go all in with $100.
You know what I'm trying to say?
You have to double the $50.
You're going with the $100.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm talking about.
If you lose, this is where it gets even.
Yeah, I'm telling you it works.
If you lose the $100, this is where it gets a little more exciting.
And you're going with $200.
You know what I'm trying to say?
And you basically, this was my gambling strategy.
You basically keep doing this until you win, you know?
You know what I'm saying?
Violeta, you've got to put a warning on that.
You've got to just say to people that that is not a strategy.
It's like when they ask you, like, when someone with DJ, it's like, okay, here's how you do it.
If you want to, you know, buy the PSYOP coin, you send him in his wallet.
You send him, like, 0.1 ETH.
And then he steals it from you.
And then if he steals it from you, you send him 0.2.
But in case he doesn't steal it, you know, then great.
You go buy yourself another rugged NFT.
But in case he does steal it, send him 0.3.
You know, you just keep sending until he doesn't steal anymore.
No, you got the second one slightly wrong.
Because to get your money back, you've got to keep doubling.
But the problem with that strategy is you kind of quickly get to 1,000 X with a few doubles.
Yael was crying the whole time while you were saying that story.
I was like, this motherfucker's probably been in so many stories where he's lost, like, the craziest amount of money I can imagine.
Yael, tell us all about it.
Gambling's illegal in my part of the world.
We don't even know about electricity yet.
But, seriously, there's no, like, slot machines in the UK?
I was just going for a fact.
I was like, am I losing my mind?
I'll start with the floppy dollar thing, and you know what I'll do?
If that floppy dollar makes me $50, then I will use your strategy.
I think the floppy dollar was rebranded during that last conversation to the sloppy dollar.
So, rebranding's the meta, V.
I don't know what you're going to be tomorrow, or anyone else in this room, for that matter,
because rebranding's the meta.
That just sounds like it's wet.
Damn, I don't know why I said sloppy.
Regardless, I'm going to play at the Rogue Bunnies party, at the Breathe event, and speak
So, it's going to be a nice four days over there.
One last stretch of summer.
Cristiano will be there, too.
Mr. Yello, I wanted to tell you, I missed you terribly last week.
So much that I was telling my boyfriend the whole time.
You let your family down.
You let your community down.
You let the whole beach down.
It was like, you know, you step down.
You know, we need our leader every now and again.
You may be on a beach enjoying yourself, but we missed you.
Now you're going to Vegas playing your sloppy dollar strategy.
I mean, that just sounds disgusting.
I mean, that just sounds disgusting, sorry.
It's tough to be a holder at the moment.
Yeah, Mr. Yello doesn't sing as good as you.
He performs in your absence.
And it's just not the same.
We did do a space in your honor, V.
Like, we slapped one together hastily last Thursday.
It was a shit show, but we had fun for like two hours.
We talked about, like, conspiracies.
I can't remember what we even talked about.
Basically, I think I asked ChatGBT to summarize it, and they said total bollocks.
Basically, two-word summary.
Who built the moon is a good space title, actually, to get people in.
I won't get into the whole conspiracy here, but it's a long-ass story.
I told it in this last week's space.
But really interestingly, Noel Gallagher has released an album now called Who Built the Moon.
And so, it made an impact that way.
We should absolutely do a space.
We'll get all the conspiracy people in, Max.
We need treasure up here.
He's the king of this kind of thing.
But I tried to switch off my phone.
And, like, you won't believe how many things just come up from your soul.
You know, you actually start looking at yourself from the outside, you know.
And understand you're on this long and winding road and everything.
You know, it's weird when there's not, like, a notification pinging you every five seconds.
Like, I actually got a lot of ideas.
You know, sometimes just letting your mind wander a little bit and do its thing.
It's super important and it brings value back.
But I wanted to say I was happy as I was seeing lots of people receiving their vinyl over the world.
That's a really exciting thing to see, you know.
And it's weird because some people that live very close to the fulfillment center have not received it yet.
And some people that live on the other side of the world have received it.
But, yeah, it's happening.
U.S. services, V, they're just the worst, aren't they?
It can get to Italy faster than it can get one state over.
Yeah, I'm still trying to grasp it.
But, guys, before people have to leave, I know Jaden has to leave.
Before, I want to give you guys the hack.
And Nessie's up here, too.
And Kayla with her hand up.
But I want to, and Cristiano just arrived.
But I wanted to give you guys the hack of the day.
So, I have figured out how to get your impressions up on X.
It's smooth and it's working.
Now, you have to put your reputation on the line just a little bit.
I hope you guys don't mind.
But, you know, I'm doing it for the community, right?
I'm doing it because I'm tired of spending all this time on this app without getting paid.
So, I'm like, okay, well, let's boost it a little bit.
See, because my GM tweets.
But, anyway, because despite, you know,
the GM tweets and stuff and the engagement being good,
that does nothing, okay, to your X check.
It does absolutely nothing.
With, you know, my normal impressions that I get are, like, around, you know,
$50,000 per day, which, you know, is great.
Um, but it doesn't really get you any X check.
The highs that I've had, once it was August 22nd, I got $100,000.
Well, today, just this morning, I started around, like, $7,000 for a couple of hours.
I'm at $306,000 impressions.
So, and I was totaling about 4.2 million impressions in three months, you know,
and I needed to get to five.
So, I got $300,000 just this morning.
So, I'm getting there, guys, really, you know, little by little.
But I wanted to share the hack.
And, really, this is not something that's secret.
Because I believe creators should get paid.
And I know you guys grind on Twitter a lot.
But, you know, sometimes people have tricks and they don't want to share them.
Because there is, out there, you know, some X checks to make for everybody.
So, I'm basically just using this AI called TweetGPT.
And I'm going and looking.
And it's a Chrome browser extension that you attach.
And you connect your Twitter to it.
And then you go under, like, trending tweets.
You just reply, reply, reply.
Like, even four or five times the same tweet.
And you let ChatGPT do it.
And you can set the tone of the reply.
It can be, like, passive-aggressive, humorous, supportive, whatever you want.
And that's it, pretty much.
And so, it's you that's clicking post, obviously.
But you're not writing it.
But the AI is learning to tweet, basically.
And it's replying for you.
Now, you can't do it with tweets that only have, like, GIFs.
You can't do it with that.
So, you have to, like, make it up yourself.
But for anything else, you can use it.
So, yeah, that's the hack.
And if you look at certain tweets.
And then you look, there's, like, five of my replies.
And it looks like I am a complete lunatic.
Because I'm saying five different things in five different tones.
You know, it's completely weird.
Just this morning, I got 300,000, over 300,000 impressions.
So, just wanted to share the alpha here for people that are spending lots of time on X.
You know, I may want to try this out.
Mate, tiny bit of alpha as well.
You only have to hit that threshold.
And then you're monetized.
There's no, like, going back.
You don't have to sustain it.
So, if you think you can hit it in the time period, it's worth just being mental for a month.
Even though, the moment I used AI, everyone in Violeta's chat was like, has Mr. Yellow been in fucking hacked?
Yeah, because you were using it for your tweets.
And I was like, this does not sound like him.
You were posting once per hour with a tone that really didn't match your personality.
And so, I thought, okay, this is weird.
But here, you're replying to other people.
You're being a reply bot, basically.
And so, nobody's really going to see it unless they have notifications on for you.
And also, when I showed it to Treasure, he was like, that sounds like you.
So, he said, I think the bot might be learning your behavior, too.
Yo, can I ask a question?
Shout out to you for sharing that.
So, can I read one of your replies?
And can you say if it was a bot?
So, is this reply you, or is it the one thing that would make this better is if JFK's account started tweeting about how the moon landings make?
I heard the first part, and that is bot.
The one thing that would make this better is if JFK's account started tweeting about how the moon landing was fake, period.
Yeah, for fuck's sake it is.
It's like, what's the moon landing?
Yeah, that kind of thing, right?
But sometimes I just reply to the same tweet with five different moods.
So, and people take you seriously, and I'm always like, should I engage and let them know?
This is meant to save me time, you know.
Violetta, for the algorithm, replying to people that engage with you is very good.
There's no end to this algorithm situation.
But if people are engaging, go back.
Because you might get another engagement.
It definitely scores well, for sure.
But I've seen, like, okay, this morning, what was this?
It was a tweet about the dress that people weren't sure if it was blue and black or gold and white.
You know that infamous dress?
Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with you that you think it's the wrong color?
Well, no, I didn't actually write anything that was my opinion.
I just wrote, okay, here are all my comments.
If you think the dress is white and gold, you're probably a vampire.
I don't even know what that means.
So that was one of the answers.
Second one was, like, argh.
Because you can choose pirate mode, Cristiano.
It'd be like that sometimes.
The mind would be a strange and mysterious thing.
That sounds like something me'd say.
Also, I'm always in pirate mode.
And then there was another one.
Another one said, that's a good question.
Maybe you should ask your optometrist about it.
That one got a lot of engagement.
So chat GPT is going to get you into fights now.
It's just going to have sassy answers.
And it's like, what did you say about my mom?
You know, one of those was, ahoy there, mate.
I've ran into a couple of the pirate ones.
They're like, I believe me JFK might be running for president, Darian.
And I just wanted to share the alpha because I actually saw this from someone else that shared it.
And I was like, damn, this is the only thing that actually makes sense.
When you see all those engagement tweets that tell you, you know, be a reply guy.
Spend 12 hours a day replying.
Like, none of us have time for this.
But if you carve out maybe one hour, you know, in the morning as you're having your breakfast and listening to a space to do this, you know, it could, it could help.
And you're literally just clicking, clicking post, but you're not writing anything.
You know what, maybe they never even said that.
Maybe NFT God isn't NFT God.
It's just an AI tweeting for him.
And, like, all this, like, advice to, like, hey, do all these tweets and do this, it's not even coming from humans.
It's just robots being, like, I want them to tweet more so it'll train us better.
So, anyway, that was the alpha.
I want to go to Kayla, who patiently has been waiting.
Thank you so much, Kayla.
Kayla's Pops is my handle.
This chick confuses everybody.
What have you done with her?
But, Tony, Violetta, thank you so much for having me up here, Violetta.
Nessie, I support the hell out of you.
I got your wolf track last night.
So, appreciate everything you're doing for the space.
One, I just wanted to talk on how you, you know, not worried about failure.
I just wanted to remind everybody, you know, winners aren't afraid of losers.
Winners aren't afraid of losing, but losers are.
Failure is a part of the process of success.
People who avoid failure also avoid success.
Failure is something you can only prevent by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
So, no matter where you stumble, just pick up and keep moving, you know.
But, the title of this is Web 3 Has to Change, and I have a few thoughts on that that I'd like to share, if you didn't mind.
I mean, that's just kind of a clickbait title that I put up there, but it's also just to trigger people's thoughts.
So, I would love to hear your thoughts, Trevor.
Yeah, like you, I've had a bit of time to reflect on things, and I chose to reflect on, I'm not an artist or anything.
I support artists, but I reflected on Web 3, and here's what I got.
To all the critics, doubters, and haters, and those who left Web 3, our setback may have amused you, but our comeback is going to confuse you.
Those who are able to build should continue to build.
Continue to build your project, your brand, your community, and your network.
Continue to build your bag, too.
You can buy more at good prices right now.
If you have the liquidity and know what you're doing, you'll make most of your money in the bear.
You just won't realize it to the bull.
Feeling sorry for yourself and your present condition, whether it's your bags being down or your project not selling,
isn't only a waste of time and energy, but it may be the worst habit you could possibly have.
Ambition is the path to success.
Persistence is its vehicle.
Vision without action is hallucination.
The secret to getting ahead is getting started.
The crypto economy and the NFT market are ultimately driven by people.
No matter how dire the situation, as long as a group of people have the desire,
then a turnaround, a rally, and progress can be possible.
Coming together is a start.
Keeping together is progress.
And working together is success.
We need leaders in this community who have had previous success and respect.
Those who know the way, go the way, and show the way that people will come together for.
The interest in the NFT market depends heavily upon three things, I believe, in ascending order.
It may be appealing, may be a little different, but something catchy, you know, and cool that people can relate to.
We need projects that have utility with actual value.
Projects can have in real life value and or Web3 value, but people need to comprehend and understand what it is that they are getting.
And then the third thing, most important thing, is the community.
It has to be active and engaging.
Founders or team members need to be active or at least keep the community up to date.
Keeps people active in the project.
And an active, stable community can help cure this terrible disease of loneliness and social isolation
that is prevalent in the U.S. and the world.
The communities will thrive.
We need forward thinking people with big ideas who challenge the norm.
Think outside the box and invent the world that they imagine instead of conceding to the limitations of current dilemmas.
That's how innovation happens.
We also need our outside partners to be just as invested in this as the NFT community, such as exchanges not given the option to give 0% royalties to artists and founders.
These royalties are the tags that keep the artists, the community, and the communities alive and thriving.
Success is getting what you want.
Happiness is wanting what you get.
I'm so glad that you did that again.
UD did that the other day.
I think it was in King Pepe's space, right?
And, dude, you just blow my mind with that entire thing because, like, he summed up, like, literally all the lessons we learned in the last year in, like, one document.
That was incredible, man.
Cristiano, I feel like you need to set that to music and wrap that.
I was telling him when he played it, Tony, we were going nuts.
I was like, that's, like, the Web 3s, like, wear sunscreen.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, let's just set that to music, and we're going to take a recording of it and set to music because I think it's brilliant, Trevor.
It's like a mission statement, you know?
It's like you wrote our mission statement.
I've edited it a little bit and added some things, took some things out and all that.
Try to make it concise, but shit, there's a lot, you know?
It's going to take spaces like this that brings people together in Web 3 to help do that.
And, Violetta, you're one of those leaders, you know?
You have a huge following.
You command huge respect.
You know, so, you know, you getting behind this, I know that you're positive as can be.
So, I appreciate everything that you do.
Tony, thanks for listening to it again.
Nessie and Cristiano and Darius, I know you've heard it before, but just want to get that message out there.
Thank you so much, Trevor.
And I'm glad that you're going around spaces to spread that message as well.
It is really what we need to hear sometimes.
And I see, sometimes you put the clickbait title and then it pushes out these kinds of things that, you know, happen to be what you need to hear, even if it's a clickbait title.
I want to tell you guys something funny that just happened that I want to go to Nessie and say hi.
So, I commented, I replied to a tweet about some kind of video game that I don't know anything about.
And I struggled with that one because I was like, oh man, what am I going to say?
Like, it kept, it's called Shiver or something.
And I don't know what it is.
So, I kept trying to find a good tweet.
And the best I could find was, wow, everyone really likes Shiver.
And then someone just commented, why are there always NFT guys commenting the most generic stuff?
Because we're our robots.
And they said, so they can get interaction and get paid.
So, people in other corners of X think about us in this way.
Our reputation precedes us.
Anyway, just wanted to give you a real-time update.
I'm actually in the gym right now because I can't touch grass since it's raining a little bit.
So, I am touching some plywood, hardwood.
So, yeah, I'm here with AI Love.
We in the gym, hooping three-on-three, about to run it back.
It's the two-time, two-time, web-free basketball champions, baby.
We back-to-back with it like Drake.
But, yeah, just wanted to say hello.
You know what I'm saying?
Definitely glad that you took a break.
Definitely well-deserved.
And, yeah, you know, just wanted to say hello.
I am about to drop back down, though, because I got another game to win so we can get these
back-to-back-to-back championships now I'm talking about.
But, yeah, man, much love.
You know what I'm saying?
If you don't have a moonshot or another life, you need to get another life in order to take
that moonshot, because I will travel far and ride to reach my destination.
Your one-on-one listening experience.
Have fun touching the hardwood, Nessie.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Always supporting, even when you're doing other things.
It was so good to see you in Michigan.
So briefly, I was planting my...
It was like the Bay Rapper.
Like, it was nice, but it was bad also, because I...
He literally arrived, and less than an hour later, I had to leave.
But it's good that I was able to see you, give you a quick hug, you know?
Anyway, next time, hopefully, in Miami at Art Basel.
Hopefully, that'll be the next opportunity, I hope.
But I want to say hi to other people, and I have to give you a heads up.
I have an important meeting at, like, the top of this hour, so I could either, you know,
if people are degening, I could either let it, you know, degen, or I have to go, because
it's quite an important meeting, and I have to leave again tomorrow, and I just came back
last night, so, you know, it's a bit of a stressful day.
I wanted to, of course, say hi to the other people that we have up here, and also just
let you know, maybe a quick recap of what's happening.
So, one thing I wanted to say is that we have halted, for now, the claim of the free
prints, because we need to do some restocking and some bookkeeping and everything like that.
It's hard to keep up as it's happening in real time, but I think most people that needed
So, for now, we're just, you know, pausing it for a second, and then we'll reopen it,
you know, when we're ready, when time comes.
I did want to say, you know, people should be using the marketplace.
If they want to get their moonshots or their Another Life, they should use our marketplace
and not go to OpenSea or Blur.
I know there's some still that are listed on OpenSea and Blur, but you are paying a fee
to them if you use OpenSea and you're not paying anything to me, you know.
So, just so you know, you know, I don't want to force you to do anything, but that's what's
If you want, you know, if you want to give me and the team the creator royalties, then
you should use our marketplace.
Also, that you can, you know, maybe give us some feedback.
I actually received an email and a few messages from community members to give us feedback
So, that's really up to us, you know.
Also, they can give me, you know, maybe some advice or whatever tips if, you know, they
have some features they would like to see and we can start working on them.
So, I really do encourage people to use it.
It is integrated to my website, my official website, violettazoroni.com.
Built it with First Mate.
So, definitely, guys, you should probably use that one.
I'm glad to see that so many vinyl records are going out to people.
Honestly, it's one of the best feelings in the world and the jerseys too, you know, to
just see like the physical piece of music going out to Europe and California and Canada
and Germany and, you know, the States, everywhere.
Actually, one arrived in Italy the other day, which made me really emotional because Luca,
who's in our community, he's from Torino in Italy, I believe he's the first one to ever
hold one of my vinyls in Italy where I'm from.
Like, not even my parents have one.
And so, it's like, you know, I had to come all the way from the U.S.
It's almost like I'm going back home a little bit.
So, it's a really good, you know, feeling for me to know that there's someone over there
I will be going to Italy.
By the way, I'll be in Europe for three weeks.
And I have some shows in Belgium.
One in Belgium, one of our community members is organizing.
He's using his utility to get me over to Belgium to speak and perform at the university, business
He teaches that as a professor.
And then I'm going to go to Berlin as well, do a lot of songwriting in October.
That's what I'm going to do.
You just said, I was going to say, when is this?
So, the thing in Belgium is October 26th.
So, I did actually want to try and gather a few Europe-based holders to see if we could
get a little meetup going.
I don't know if that's possible, you know, maybe a little short notice.
But we'll see if we can make it happen.
I'm just trying to, you know, get it all together as fast as possible.
And then there's Berlin that I'm going to.
So, if anyone's, like, in Europe around that time, I would love to meet up.
Let's not forget maybe Romania, too.
Yeah, I was going to get there.
So, after Belgium, I'm going to Romania for the event that Johan is putting together.
A few of us, music and FT artists, playing with an orchestra.
That would be really cool.
And then I'm going back to Italy and then back here and then to Miami shortly after.
So, there's quite a lot of traveling happening in the next few months.
So, you know, I'm going to try to keep up the spaces as much as I possibly can.
I'll be back in the old time zone.
So, I'm going to have to, you know, adjust with that, too.
And then one of the exciting things that I wanted to, I'd need to make a tweet about it and a proper announcement on Discord.
But a few of us are going on the Moonshot Cruise, guys.
So, Bahamas, Haiti in December, the week before the holidays.
So, October, December 18th to the 22nd or 23rd, something like that.
Five nights, Royal Caribbean cruise, leaving, departing from Miami.
And it was Treasure's idea.
Actually, okay, so some of us have booked it already.
But I know that one of our holders, Rumbleverse, has some kind of, like, deal that maybe if there's a few people, like, booking it, it can be cheaper.
So, I'm trying to, like, grasp who wants to go, when, because probably if people want to go, you know, they should probably start getting on top of it.
Whatever you pay, it's all inclusive.
So, all you can eat, all you can drink and all that.
Um, it's a massive boat, and it's in the Caribbeans, and it's December.
So, I think it's what everyone will need.
Um, so if you, if you can, if you want more information, we have a channel in the Discord about this as well, the Moonshot Cruise.
So, yeah, just wanted to mention that.
Uh, of course, anyone's welcome to come.
And the plan is to just take over the lounge every night with music and make music.
So, you know, they have a piano, we'll have guitars, drinks, and we're just going to have a great time.
So, um, yeah, that's what I wanted to say.
And then, oh, yeah, and then when I'm back next week, I'm going to start putting out new music, guys, because I'm tired of waiting.
I had a lot of stuff to put together, a lot of stuff to deliver, the utility, the website, the marketplace, this and that, the vinyl, the print, the jerseys, all the stuff, get my engagement up, get paid on X, and all these things, so that I can finally put out some more music.
And I have some collaborations on the go, and I'm excited.
I actually want to explore more collabs.
So, um, you know, I'm just going to start putting things out, you know, and, and see, and see where it goes.
Um, I have, I have a few songs ready to go.
Um, and I am going to, and I'm going to tell you now, this is, this is a little bit of a pre-announcement, but we'll be doing, I will be putting up my, um, ordinal song, uh, for sale in case anyone wants it.
Uh, we might do an auction, so that's, I had to hold on to it for a while because, you know, I was very attached to it, and I wanted it to be mine for a little bit, but I have some crazy utility that comes with it, and, um, initially I wasn't sure, like, you know, this has a lot of value to me, but, you know, I wonder.
And then, you know, I started thinking, I think it does have, the song itself, a lot of value.
The fact that it is the first and longest song with visuals ever inscribed on Bitcoin, on such an important set as well.
It was inscribed on a set mind, uncommon set mind, the day that I started my career, May 26, 2013.
So, and the song was written 10 years later, exactly.
So, it's like taking a piece of something made now, putting it back on a canvas made the same day 10 years before.
So, those layers, in my opinion, have a lot of value.
Uh, this song, the moment it sells, becomes CC0 and the art.
So, anyone will be able to use it, do whatever they want with it.
Uh, remakes it, you know, put the art on t-shirts.
So, I'm giving up relinquishing my rights to that song entirely to give it to the community.
And then, there's another piece of utility attached to it that I don't want to reveal yet, but it's pretty massive.
And it's something that, you know, I like anarchy.
You know, I like, you know, I was talking to Matt this morning.
I said I read Johnny Rotten's biography when I was 12 and I took it by heart.
And I was like, that's who I want to be when I'm a grown-up.
So, that's what I'm doing.
I'm just like, fuck it, you know.
If I decide it's not, it's not.
You know, so, that's kind of what I'm doing.
And so, this utility that I attach to it is something that, you know, it would have been hard for me to do maybe last year, a couple years ago.
And it's something that I know a lot of musicians would be very scared to do.
But at this point, I'm like, community is community.
You know, this is the most precious thing I have.
So, I want to give more value as much as I can.
So, yeah, this utility is pretty massive for me.
It's like what we have almost for, like, the ultimate utility if you have all of my NFTs, but times 10, all in one.
So, yeah, I just want it to be, like, a huge grail.
So, that's going to happen, you know, in the next month or so.
Yeah, and then a lot more things.
Just take a minute to say.
Yeah, I mean, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see.
Because now it's a weird moment, too, you know.
But also, like, we see the market's really down.
Also, Bitcoin and stuff is down and everything.
So, I'm like, maybe this is a good moment, you know, instead of waiting for the bull.
I know it's easy on the bull because, you know, people seem to be throwing the money around.
But I don't want it to go to someone who's going to, like, heavily speculate on it.
Like, and it's probably going to be easier for someone to get it when it's literally cheaper right now.
V, I think it's genius because it probably means your first two holders will be straight away in profit.
Because, like, the first one who buys it is going to get it a good price.
They're definitely going to be able to, you know, when volume increases.
And it is increasing a little bit on all the rules.
But, yeah, second person is like, cool, they can probably sell it for an upsell, too.
So, I think it's perfect time.
Like, what I'm thinking is, obviously, I want to sell it for a value that I think, you know, is worth it.
Because, again, it took me three months to decide to actually part with it.
Because, and ordinals were hotter when I inscribed this.
Like, ordinals were, like, at the peak when I inscribed it.
And I was like, ah, this is value to me.
Like, I want to keep it, you know.
And now I'm like, all right, well, now is probably a good time.
I want the people that own it to actually be the ones to get the most value out of it in the future, you know.
But, of course, I want to be satisfied when I part with it.
And that's, I think, you know, a requirement you need to have when you part with something that you created.
But I want to make sure the conditions around it are optimal for the person that acquires it to actually gain the most later.
Because it is going to eventually return back to me, you know.
So, that's kind of the mindset I have about this.
So, yeah, I don't care, you know, if it's going to go to 100x in five years, you know, now is the time.
And, like you said, even if the asset itself doesn't necessarily, like, blow up if they bought it, you know, when Bitcoin was 25 and then it goes to 35, like, that's already a huge win for them.
But it's fucking history.
It's more than the floor price.
It's just a piece of history, isn't it?
And that's why I was hesitant.
Like, when I first inscribed, I was like, okay, like, you know, I'm going to sell it.
And then I just, I don't know.
I kept making up excuses, you know.
I was like, ah, not yet, not yet, not yet, you know, not yet.
And now I'm like, you know what, time to move on.
Like, the 10th year of my career is ending.
So, I should give it to someone else now, you know.
So, yeah, because that piece commemorates 10 years, anniversary of my professional career.
So, anyway, we'll talk about it more when the time comes.
But I kind of wanted to throw that out there for people to reflect on.
And I even thought, you know, there might be a few ways to go about it, right?
Because, of course, this is, you know, a big piece and one person may want to have it.
But I know there's things like potty bids used to be a thing at one point on ETH.
I don't know if they do it on Bitcoin, if it's possible.
But, like, where a community owns something, that's also something that, you know, maybe could be cool to experiment with.
We'll see when the time comes.
So, and, yeah, I want to say hi.
I know Sarah has her hand up, but we've had some people up here that don't put their hand up because they live here, like Stephen.
So, I wanted to still say hi to Stephen.
Oh, it's, I just woke up from a nap.
I was in the corner of the room.
Did anybody say hi to me when they walked in, or did you guys just all walk right past me?
I'll just say, oh, hold on.
Happy Moonshit Monday, Moonshitters.
I hope you're having a great Monday.
I just got home like an hour ago.
You left us again, and I feel like my heart is being, oh, Apollo came to me.
Apollo made up for everything.
Don't worry, V, you're fine.
Your music makes up for everything.
That's what dogs are for.
You're really becoming a true-blooded American, and we love it.
Today in ADHD theater featuring Stephen.
Let's just flip it in reverse.
You've got your art in Dubai.
Yeah, I've been super busy just building a bunch of shit in the background to keep everything
connected, and as, you know, things grow with the marketplace, with FirstMate, they're
going to start releasing some tools, and I'm going to be testing them for, like, the OpenSea
storefront stuff to be utilized through the marketplace.
We're talking about winter wallets, because to me, that's the, like, that's, like, the ultimate.
I mean, if you can have your own marketplace on your website, or just direct to the marketplace
that's yours, and tell people, hey, you don't need to go open a MetaMet.
You can actually just go ahead and use your credit card and collect, and the same thing
like Object does, or many other websites, people will just use a credit card, and it
will put it into a nice custodial wallet, and I think, like, that's a huge way for, like,
IRL friends and family and all that stuff that, you know, are crypto-averse, they don't
want to, you know, go through the whole thing.
Um, that's the way to get them in the door, and it's all based around our own self-custody,
owning it ourselves, because it's ours.
Oh, um, also, yeah, I've been submitting my art like crazy.
There is open calls everywhere, just connecting and meeting more people in the space every
day, which I think is wild, especially on the art side of things.
Um, super busy with the acting stuff.
My Genesis Sun Foundation is on the grid in Mondior Gallery in downtown Dubai, which is
Um, yeah, a lot of, a lot of stuff happening, a lot of stuff happening, and, um, and there's
still the topic of debate, like, around, like, the whole AI art thing, which is, like, I'm
just, I'm, I'm, I want to be, like, can we, like, point me as the point man?
Like, I want to be that guy to be, like, nah, bro.
So, um, it's just another tool, just like photography was, everybody was scared of that, and guess
Y'all got cameras in your phone, your pocket, everybody's got a camera right now.
So, um, it's just, you know, we're early.
Um, so, yeah, no, it's, like, a lot going on.
I don't even know, I'm probably missing shit, but that doesn't matter, uh, because I'm here
Oh, I hear everyone in a great mood, honestly, honestly, everyone's in a great mood.
Honestly, honestly, Nate.
I love it, I love it, Steven, I love it.
I mean, you, I love your tweets, I love the tweet that you made this morning.
I actually have to do, Jaden always posts these tweets where he's, like, branding, you know,
he's talking about branding, and it's very aligned to what you tweeted, where, like, if
you keep experimenting creatively, you are, in fact, working on your branding, which is,
you know, it was a great take.
I liked to, I liked reading it.
Well, because, like, we're talking about engagement and X, right?
And, yeah, the AI tools are great, um, and all that stuff is great to help with, like,
But at the same time, as creators, our purpose is to create and connect through the art.
You know, if so much emphasis is put on just sitting on the social media platform working
on this content, you take away from your time creating.
And inevitably, it does a disservice to your branding in the long run, because as long as
you're creating, I mean, I think the tweet was, the consistent pursuit of creativity is
in itself brand building.
So as long as you continue to create, your art will inevitably connect, and that will build
He's building a brand of new Chewy toys, and I think he's struck on a goldmine, so he's
But, yeah, I mean, just keep creating.
That's the brand building.
Letting people know that you are the consummate creator, and there is nothing that's going
to stop you from continuing to create.
Even if this space disappeared, even if you were creating before or after, whenever, you're
And that is your purpose, is to create and share your creative vision with the world and
connect with the people who resonate with your vision and choose to support.
The people that collect are people that truly support and uplift, and they basically, they
empower you to continue your creative vision and share with that with the world.
And without all of that and the community, at the end of the day, you're still going to
I do spend more time on X than creating.
But at the same time, like you said, you know, maybe you're just creating something else.
It's still, that's something that I learned with Web3, you know, musicians, artists, and
you're a perfect example of that, Stephen.
You know, just because you're an actor, it doesn't mean you can't do art, you know, or
And whoever put artists in a box, creators in a box saying, you're a musician, you shouldn't
be just singing, or just writing songs.
You know, so I also try to look at it that way.
So thank you so much for articulating on that.
I do want to go to Sarah, because I think she just tweeted that she bought her first Another
Can Sarah, can Sarah get a hand?
Welcome to the fam, Sarah.
You know, this, this is a big deal for me.
Because I've been struggling financially for a while now.
Um, and I've had the rug pulled out from underneath me.
IRL, literally, had to move my home from one place to another, from a house, all the
way down to a one-bedroom apartment.
So I've finally been in the same job, in the same place for a couple of months now, and
my finances are getting back on track.
So I was like, I'm gonna buy me a Violetta Music NFT to support her, because I fucking
And if I could just hear some beautiful music from you today, it would make my year.
I support all the creators, the amazing creators in the space.
You guys are what it's about.
Sarah, first of all, welcome.
You're already part of the community, obviously.
But, you know, now you have the token, uh, the membership token, so to speak.
But, um, first of all, welcome.
And, and second of all, I'm, you know, really happy that you're in a better position.
I, I, I didn't know, you know, what was going on in your life.
And I'm really grateful and, um, moved to the fact that, you know, only a couple months
after, you know, you're starting to get back to, you know, the position you want to be in,
you know, you treat yourself with, with some music, you know, with some art and some music
and you deserve it, you know, because I know it can be tough.
Uh, you know, I was definitely, uh, a struggling, very unstable, not financially stable artist
for pretty much a whole decade.
So, um, yeah, it's tough.
And I know also the feeling of getting back on your feet or even on your feet for the
first time and rewarding yourself with something.
Um, you know, I, I know that feeling too.
So yeah, congratulations and well done.
And I would love to sing you a song to celebrate this.
And do you know which, which song it is that you bought?
So maybe I can play that one.
I did it while I was on spaces, so I couldn't really play it and listened at the same time.
Um, so I can probably try it for you.
Um, and if I'm not wrong, you use, did you use the marketplace or?
I got to use first mate for the first time.
I was so excited about that.
I'll sing that one for sure.
Steven, you're much excited.
Why are you coming at me, Yamaza?
You're always coming for me.
That's a compliment, sir.
Don't you get me coming at you.
And anyways, it's because you're like, I just woke up from a nap.
Next thing you know, you're going a million miles an hour.
What the hell's going on here?
Are we two peas in a pod, sir?
My voice is a little bit rough.
I got a lot of humidity last week in Florida.
That is the worst excuse I've ever heard.
I hung out at the beach too much, guys.
My head was a little tired.
It was good for my time, but not my voice.
No, you know what the problem was?
Was the humidity in Florida?
Second thing, you go back in the condo, and it's like air conditioning.
And I don't know if you guys know, but Italians have a fixation.
We have actually a term to describe what happens to you when you get hit by the air conditioning.
I saw it on a reel on Instagram the other day by an American who was like,
Italians are fixated with this thing.
You see them, it's 105 degrees outside, and they bring a little scarf, a little handkerchief,
because you never know that you get what we call in Italian, il colpo d'aria, which is a hit of air.
It's just a little air hitting your neck right across, and it's going to block your neck off,
get your sore throat, and it's just going to ruin your entire summer.
Why does it sound like a colpo d'aria?
You don't mean hits of air.
And so I just grew up with this, like both my mom, my grandma, everybody, my dad.
No, que prende el colpo d'aria.
You get the hit of air, put a scarf on, you know?
Is that why we carry scarves everywhere?
The hit of air, I think it hit me, you know, the air conditioning, and it's true, guys.
Because then when you know it, now that you know, next time you go walk your dog,
and you don't bring the scarf, you get into Starbucks, you get your latte,
the air conditioning hits you right on the neck.
Then you come back, you're sneezing, you're like, oh, damn it.
Por favor, el colpo d'aria con marijuana.
I got a touch of the air, guys.
So what was the word for it, dude?
I've got a touch of the air.
The name is colpo d'aria.
It sounds like a cup of diarrhea.
In C-O-L-P-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A.
It's in D-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-
well that's because i was trying to you know fit in and not to get bullied by everybody
in new york oh my god yeah no you won't believe it like me and my mom got both really really hit
hard by the corpo d'aria for sure because when she came back she was like i was sick
had a temperature for like a week and i'm like i know a couple that yeah that's what happened
see in the uk when we say we've got a touch of the air we'd say open the window
that's what we'd say it's just a completely different approach to life you know like you
guys are love the cold in america they also love the cold but artificial cold well ask anybody in
england right now they're dying of heat they wish they had what they call air con or whatever
air con that's right yeah what they call air con what what they call air con that the air con and
stuff honey back in the box press the mute button please press that big red button
yeah actually someone's vacuuming outside my door right now can you hear it are you still living in

you know window or my family came
visit me here and they was like all
about the air conditioning like a violata thing

it's like the wind will hit you you know so it's crazy you know that

yeah they hate it i mean most of you know
houses over there they don't have it and they just
they soft they definitely soft
i'm all eastern european we got we got a word for it too
blowing their neck ah that's the trick i love it
if you got any europeans in the ring blowing their neck

that sounds that sounds so creepy you'll go behind somebody and blow on their neck
dude it's real it's real sneaky is what it is i'll tell you

so we're here to moonship basically
i'll turn the volume down real quick
we're here to moonship people
we're going under the mattress
i'm here to moonship and chew bubblegum
and i'm all out of bubblegum
so let's go let's turn it dark
welcome to the dark side of the force
you guys are like little fucking
yeah shout out to goblin town
uh kate did you hear the tactic about that
i recommended for your next match
it's called uh culpe daria
it's gonna be your new finishing move
yeah if you're battling any europeans
you just blow a little wind on their neck
especially if they play soccer
does anyone know the reference
well uh keith i'm really excited
to be able to hang with you
it's like the middle of the week
which is actually awesome
it's way cheaper to go to vegas
in the middle of the week
if any nft like conventions come here
i'm like i feel like i'm obligated to go
you're the welcome committee
yeah it's like if i don't
it's like what the fuck am i doing
and i'm here on twitter all day
and i just smoke weed all day
so it's like i have a lot of free time
i should be going to the strip
and seeing my nft friends if they're in town
and let's support all of those
you know all of you guys that are going
so you know i'm sure everybody has a tip jar
so you know i'll throw in
a little something or another
because i know that they're going to be
even though we can't be there
so i'm totally like to keep this going
let's make sure that the money's flowing
and and going to where it needs to go
i definitely will be bringing you guys there
i'll be doing the show every day
and giving you guys recaps
bringing people onto the mic
and then i meet and stuff
and i'm a big proponent of like
the information should be free
hiding alpha behind things
so i i'm really excited to like
just go there and collect
as much information as possible
for those who couldn't you know
spend the money to get there
i mean if anyone's interested
you know what we'll be doing that
uh we'll be doing the show
from the convention every day
for the next we do it every day
and it's kind of like moonshot
it's like a sister show of moonshot
it's the same kind of vibe
you'll see a lot of the same people
it's like my daily dinner
it's like it's become such a habit now
and i gotta go do the replay
is part of building a healthy life
building like positive habits
and you're like i feel better after that
it's like eating your greens
stability and and like you know
about what i've been going through
it's like when your world is getting turned upside down
it's nice to be able to like have that consistent
now that i'm finding v space
i don't think that i was as aware of it till lately
like i can add that to my like daily dose of
hang out with my friends in the morning
i end the day with with expert advice show
i've been doing that every single day for
i mean i've been doing our show every day right
you guys are my first friends
i think consistently for the last
and i haven't missed a day
because it's having that consistency
like having that daily support of friends
and you don't have those creeping
you still have the creeping thoughts of
and what if my music is suck shit
and what if i'm delusional
and all these things right
and then it's like having friends
i'll just shut that part of my brain off
it's well known that community
is like a major part of well-being
of men you know good mental health
is having a community that you trust
i think it's the most important
wow that doesn't seem like it went well
no it just uh it actually got pushed
as i was about to open it
i saw there was a message
you got a touch of the culpidati
we still have not said hello to Steph Guerrero
only recommendation to do
we were working our way there
jeez you were gone what four minutes
i've been doing spaces from my desktop
it's been very productive
because i listened to all of you being
while i was tapping away some emails
um i kept hearing my name being mentioned
flip over to the right tab
no you guys went on with a conversation
so i was like okay never mind
i don't know if you've seen that meme of like
the guy that's like trying to speak
and then he just keeps getting interrupted every time
oh i'm i'm living the meme right now
it's just a bunch of kids really happy to see each other on monday
we i kept wanting to go to you
so what is this cruise y'all keep talking about
sorry i'm a little out of the loop
because i've been also having a crazy
but i'm a big fan of cruising
one of our community members and friends
so he can claim his utility
why not do it on a cruise
i thought that was a great idea
and we're extending the invitation to
as many community members as
and it departs from miami
i'm sad because i wouldn't be able to make it then
if you do get more than ten people together
i'm pretty confident you can write to the cruise on and they can give you a group rate
if anything i would say at least try for that
so you can save a couple dollars but
i definitely i recommend always going on cruises because it's fun
it's probably not the best thing for the planet but um
but it's just a fun time and it's like nobody gets lost um
everyone just kind of parties together and you make new friends so
it's a great great way to spend time with people
what about if you leave the boat
sorry mister i have a question
what about if you leave the boat
and one person gets left in
you gotta find your way home
yeah but like that rarely if ever happens
there used to be a reality show of cruises
i don't or i don't know how i ended up watching it
and like the whole episode
it was like at every port they were like we're missing three people
we're missing four people
that's probably why the reality show doesn't exist anymore
because that's the whole drama is just people being left behind
um and you know that gets old quickly
but yeah like they that rarely ever happens you have to
you really have to be late
um and if you do miss a port like it's so crazy
because if you do miss a port in the us
and the second port is in the us
you can't even catch up because you have to pay like a crazy tax
so just don't miss don't miss your your way back
um i just recommend like start partying around the cruise
or be back on the cruise like an hour before you're supposed to
and then you're usually fine
um i wonder who would be the first one to to get lost
i i would so get lost on the ship
i don't need land for that i'd be lost
i'd be in the fucking engine room or something
you'd be in your own private yellow room
okay that i was mentioning how um i've been on a few cruise ships
and every time i end up convincing the captain to let me drive the boat
i go and i'll talk to him for two or three hours
and be like tell me everything
yeah all you gotta do is be like tell me everything about your boat
like i'm so interested and he'll take you around your boat because they're obsessed with their boats
and then after a couple hours of that like they'll be like hey you want to drive it
and it's like i thought you'd never ask
there's no way that is such an instagram flex
i don't you can't take a picture of it but like you can you can drive the boat
i thought you'd never ask
yeah for 15 seconds everyone in that boat was in severe danger
i was like i want to turn it so bad
oh i'm driving the titanic
hit a bunch of buttons just the intrusive thoughts to overcome you
the call to dockside was strong
well we should go play him some songs the captain and you know
tell him you're a pirate and you're about to hijack his boat
i leave the pirate part out before
tell me everything about your boat
they don't like that word
yeah have you been the video of the pirate
i'm just a pepe punk on that boat i'm not a pirate
i was gonna say speaking of pirates
has anyone watched the one piece show on netflix
like it teaches you how to be a good friend
how to be a good community member
it's like mandatory viewing i think for web 3
luffy the monkey like the main character
like his relentless optimism and positivity
just reminds me of certain people like in web 3
that are just like we can do it
i'm gonna be king of the pirates
like it's just such a great
it's just such a positive energy
now before anybody tries to call on yellow
let me just talk a little
and just delay him being able to talk
do you know who gamera is
i'm gonna mispronounce it
i haven't heard of gamera since the 80s
but yeah i just wanted to throw that in
before yellow got to say a word
it's the same people that did the 3d um
v can you kick out leonardo da vinci please thank you
you can to kick it out to the da vinci
i'm coming back in with my flying machine
he's flooding me in my private things v
i think he wants to hear yellow speak
he was thumbs downing the fact that i was interrupting yellow and not letting yellow speak
he's messaging me in my special areas
yellow get the hell out of here
he's touching me in my special boys place
he's messaging my private
yeah i'm gonna bring the gossip
what did you make of the paulie versus faroq spat
i thought he'd been hacked
i'm gonna have to go catch up
so maybe somebody could fill
two different voices for each of them yelling at each other please
i didn't know i can't do that
i can't do either of them without
believe you can and you can
whatever you think they would sound like
oh yeah faroq such a fucking wanker
you're doing an amazing job
it's amazing what you're doing
remember when you were a fan of mine
why are you not playing your background music
adopts a certain approach
it's not the approach for a lot of people
he might want to think about
then faroq woke up this morning
i'm really fucking sorry about that
i shouldn't have done that
it was totally unprofessional
yeah that was the quick summation
so i'm just going back on his
he woke up chose violence
paulie and all of his friends
because they mean way better than faroq
and then he's going back to being like
maybe i don't want to fight
it's super spaces violetta
it's it's super spaces is destroying the fucking space unfortunately
i can tell you the next 10 people are going to be fighting it's the top 10 people on super spaces this week and they all just fight with each other to be like i'm jealous because you're number one and i'm number ten or you're number six and i'm number five you know it's it's i told you it was going to destroy the space it is but it's going to flush out all the bad people who are only focused on you go
that's people having problem in their mind because
yeah you know there's people like you know we have the space going on you have the space going on keith has spaces every single day you know and and he's probably up there like in the top hosts you know and like we're all like very we're stacking hours for sure but it's not like i would never think never in my mind i would think to like fuck anyone oh my god like you don't do spaces for the numbers and spaces you see you provide value in your
have other things you have a full ass like 10 year roadmap and plan and things that you're going to provide if you were just someone whose job was to get numbers in the thing and you're botting your spaces to try to get more people in there and someone else is holding spaces at the same time as you to draw your people away you know what i mean like he's pissed off probably pissed off all the spaces because he hosts spaces exactly when they do it and he pulls 900 people and then their space drops completely down to like you know a couple hundred people and they can't make their money anymore because they used to make money by selling to advertisers like farouk makes money by selling to advertisers
beforehand and then dumping on people so it's like as much as it's like funny that he chose violence it's like he's not a good thing for the space the what he what he does mario too like none of these people that are getting paid front like behind closed doors to dump on people that's insider trading but less ethical and it's and it's a not just sec but it's fcc violation i've got to put some balance on that though i don't disagree with any of those statements but i thoroughly disagree if you think paulie is a
he's a you know a power for good in this space i didn't say that i said they're salty about the fact that he holds spaces at the same time as them and pulls away all their viewers
yeah that's what it is yes where it started it it's jealousy it's like super spaces and jealousy and he's trying to get a rise out of him so when paulie gets farouk to act like that paulie kind of won he's trying to get a
a reaction you know what i mean fruit could have just woken up and just gone out with his business
it's all charged like he does he did stoop down to his level and he looks dumb
yeah he did he did he went he went to paulie's level yeah except paulie you fucking got him yeah
but that defines paulie's level at the same time farouk is a step above it and farouk went down one level
he had the high ground anakin never give up the high ground
why i mean the thing is is i i wonder if people like that you know actually at one point focus on like
like uplifting artists like actually did something you know of real substance to the space that that
would be nice and i know that farouk has rug radio but um i don't know you know that's why i started
the pepe punks and that's what we're doing every day here and that's what we do every day on extra
device and it's you know it's it's we can wish everyone else did it but or we can just do it every
day like we do you know what i mean because we do we uplift artists we support people and it's just
you do that and eventually it radiates out let these people destroy each other eat each other they're
they're here for clout they're not here to support they're here to extract value let them let them eat
each other what's everybody's general perception on on farouk right now um because i'm i feel like
i'm getting conflicted views because i think originally i mean he started out on clubhouse i remember
hearing him when he first started speaking and he got a large following because he was just a fun
guy he was talking about he was the fun nft guy he was unproblematic um but now i keep hearing his
name come up in all of these different issues what what's the real gripe that people have with him
now is he ripping people off he had a thing called the saudis he was dropped a bunch of these saudis
project this is when i stopped being a fan of his in the very beginning of my time here and he was
dropped like something like 40 or 50 of them and then showed them on his space and then sold them
immediately like was selling them as everyone else was buying which is the definition of instead of
trading doesn't mean anyone's a bad person or not it just means they're they might have to pay a
fine or go to jail later for what they've done that's all they just broke the law it's like it
doesn't mean you know i'm friends with ex-felons they broke the law they understood what they did
they got rehabilitated you know in their mind or whatever found some kind of stability or religion
or something and are better people now so he just that's all he needs to be held accountable for you
know what he did and people that do that need to be held accountable for that because that is
literally what ends up getting all of us wrecked and rugged you know we can complain about getting
rugged or we can go back to like what how does that start and stop it before it starts and say hey
this person is getting paid a bunch of stuff to tell us about it on a space that's advertising that's
not a conversation that's not you know ethical i want to answer your question also from my perspective
like yeah i don't know about actually this whole thing this specific uh situation uh that that
christiana is describing and but um i just think like in general you know there's nothing wrong with
being a fun guy on spaces and providing content and all that but it's just kind of a trend that i
personally have been seeing you know in the space where there's people that are really good at hosting
spaces you don't have the media companies they have personalities charisma um that just end up
focusing on again in italian we have this saying fried air which is like a whole bunch of nothing you
know what i mean it's like okay there's so many artists in the space you know that are actually doing
things and you seem like evidently you're a smart guy because you can you know put together a
company and build a brand for yourself like actually do it for something that matters like
you know he's not the only one who's famous like keith is way more famous than him you know and not
because keith is here no but then i think it's different because like i do a lot of spaces uplifting
artists and doing all these things for artists and buying art daily and doing so much i try to do so
much for people especially in the bull market things are down and i'm still doing the same
but people don't get paid to uplift artists and it's not it's such a down time that like a lot of
these pfp people they don't give a they really don't and i'm seeing it and a lot of people have dropped
off and people have changed their tone with me people used to treat me so much different it's so funny
and then now in the bear market and i'm like i'm doing the same thing people are like oh you're on
tez you're doing tez stuff like oh cool like i'm like dead or something it's just weird but i i know
i do see all of it but it's whatever you know you gotta like the good people will support artists and
music artists and all kinds of artists and then you know there's always gonna be just like clout
chasers and people that want to fight and make all the drama and people love the drama too it's just
like a part of the ecosystem like people love drama shows people love just like watching fights like
not even fights like real fights like arguments and like the i don't know it sells drama conflict
yeah yeah yeah yeah the fact that they get paid like what you said is a good point right
like you haven't changed you know and i i like people that do have a profile but they you can see that
they're just being themselves right and they do what they want to do um and that's not the case for a lot of people
and i'm not judging like faro personally you know like i'm sure he's a fine person but you know it's
just when you do have a company that's supposedly there to uplift artists and creators why even wasting
your time and probably like keith said because he does not get paid if he supports artists and you know
but he probably does get paid more if he gets the drama going however artists also don't get paid
him a lot of the times to do their their work and so it's just you know this this thing where you
know i worked really hard personally to build some kind of platform on twitter and i'm not famous or
anything to begin with but i worked really hard and like one thing that i one thing that i saw helped
me build a platform was supporting artists honestly like however i could you know maybe i couldn't afford
to buy it but i would always give a space like on the spaces and and retweeting and stuff like
that so that is i don't know why people don't do it though even if you don't get paid directly
you know it's gonna pay off in the long term that's what i they're not thinking long term though they're
not thinking long view you see what i mean if you were in here to real quick cash grab and get out
and you're like why have i been in for a year right i was supposed to be in for three months and i was
gonna steal from these dgens and leave like they're not you know what i mean like it doesn't make sense
for us because we're thinking of two different goals like we're thinking of hey let's help this thing grow
and if they're like hey let me just come in grab some money and get out they're not
going to be community focused they're not going to be end goal focused right like they're going
to do things that don't help like you know like the best examples like destroying the environment
like the way that humans we've done our thing whether you believe in global warming or not you
know you can we pollute right we litter we know how to do that and that's the short-sided mindset
it's like ah screw it my grandkids will deal with it they'll clean it up right so these people are
treating web 3 like that like ah someone else will deal with it and it's like those of us who have
been here every single day for like years are the ones who are gonna have to clean it up and so why
don't we stop letting them trash it that's all i'm saying like as they're doing it we could just stop
letting them trash it because we're gonna have to clean it up and they're gonna leave just like they
always do and they're gonna come back when there's another you know bull run and be like hey we were
here the whole time and so i'm just as someone who does it every day i'm fed up with like that's why i started the
pepe bunks to get a bunch of people together to be like you know what screw it these people are
shilling they're breaking the law they're lying they're stealing i'm done i'm done being quiet
about it you know what i mean and i hope more people do speak up because it's like it's up to us
to keep them from trashing this space that is our home as well and we have a right to call it our
home we have a right to be here you know caleb if you wanted to respond sorry we are long-winded
no no it's it's okay i mean i'm new to this space and you know i and obviously the reason i'm
asking these questions i know i'm kind of getting into podcast mode i have a podcast so i'm always
interested in in how to change web3 because that's really the the premise of it but the talk is web3
has to change right so how do we bring accountability to the space knowing what we know right because this
answer changed over the years two three years ago the answer was web3 it's like oh everything's on chain
we're all here love happiness blah blah but now we've seen realistically um there were too many bad
players in the space that took advantage of the kindness that that we were extending with those
messages um so what how do we bring accountability to this space now what works i mean it says there's
no cut and dry solution right but one uh like daily thing that we could do is maintenance right and
i always say like we want to be the block to be the blockchain we wish to see or you know we are the
human blockchain and the same way a blockchain will have validators right the validator nodes are the
things that make sure that all the transactions are valid and there's no one you know trying to
be anything sheisty right and so we are the validators here the people who are here consistently
and here daily are the ones that can look around and i have a photographic memory i know everyone in
this room i know three personal facts about each person in this room you know and so i can tell you
i can validate them i can say oh this person's cool like when we do me yeah oh what's that who's that
who's that i'm just kidding oh yamaza yamaza will always ask you if what you're eating if you're
eating something he also has beautiful beautiful hair and he shaves the sides and the underneath of
it um backs and he's one of the sweetest person you love the people you ever meet
listen to which it's in um all i was saying was that we have to be the validators we wish to see
right and validate the people like on pigeons of new york we do on the chopped cheese on wednesday
right we do this thing like this whose man is this and you can't come up on stage unless someone
on stage vouches for you right and then like you vouch for someone and they come up and then you
both get thrown off stage if they say some dumb shit so it's about that you know be the chain you
want to see come on there it is i was so close there it is that's what i need you for well be the
chain you wish to see right so if we can all um and this isn't like care bears link arms be like we
care it's just more the opposite it's more like being like hey this person's cool this person's cool
that person is a piece of scammer and get them out of the space right now you know what i mean
it's like it can't be like no more name mr nice guy i'm sorry we can't be nice this is what happens
when we're super nice just let everyone steal our purse and shit and so it's like we have to
you need more people like you know keith in here to you know roundhouse kick them in the face and be
like get out of here and i hope everyone you know is inspired to you know maybe realize that you have
a right to be here as well and and even if you're not a vc even if you're not a big banker that's what
web3 is for the people it's decentralized finance and it's been set up and propped up by vcs who will
get in touch if a vc backed company called me or violeta to do something you bet your ass we would
be like let's have a long ass conversation because you would have to check off seven billion boxes to
get to get over the stink of like who you're funded by right other people like farouk would not do that
and that's my only issue is that we can't if we're trying to be good gatekeepers of the space to
stop nefarious people from coming in you can't have people who speak for us who are like
come on in coinbase give me all your money and i'll show whatever you want these people these
same people were showing frentech okay and and we had a four-hour space like beating down frentech
and we were right it didn't even last a week so it's you know what i'm saying like there has to be
validation for that for people who were like it's not cool to to fud things and say hey i don't feel
safe about this maybe this isn't the best thing maybe it's not a get rich quick game that's not cool
that doesn't get you followers so it's like i'm keeping track of these things we have some hands i
just want to be respectful i'll put my soapbox away no no worries i know steph also has her hand
although she can't raise it but she she commented she has her hand up uh so but mr yell has been
waiting wow so patiently uh for such a long time so let's go to him and then doge and then and stuff
it's a bit of a diversion mate and it's going back a little while but um do you italians have
any phrases that aren't about air um because you you've given us two tonight and they've both been
about air in some sort of way so do you have some sort of fixation in italy about air is it evil or
something uh you know i just want to i told you we're scared of it it makes us sick it makes us ill
we can't go to the beach or go eat outside what about those rides at the amusement parks that like
blow air on the back of your neck to give you like the real experience oh my god uh that does not sound
good that's too much cool without you wait imagine v if they took her on one of those and she had no
clue that's gonna happen maybe it's because we don't have tornadoes maybe that's what it is i don't know
and so we're not used to it but what the other ride tornadoes how does that oh never mind
speaking of did you hear they arrested the tornado cash founders
what is this a joke this morning swear to god they arrested both tornado cash founders this morning
i don't know what you're talking about oh tornado cash yes okay got you um there's a guy in turkey
too who uh who was taken in for like a two billion dollar um uh marketplace scheme also he got 11 000 years
literally wow i'm sure he'll get out seriously is that real yeah he got 11 000 years
they're gonna download his brain into a computer make him work off the last like
fuck knows man 11 000. i don't know how they're doing it but yeah 11 000.
i think he did something bad
where's that but um there you go
yes but they they captured one of the tornado cash founders the other one is russian and he is on the
run he's rushing away he's rushing on the run i was gonna say that is the best way where's the
punchline it's the best way to be on the run rushing if you're not rushing yes yeah yellow stop

what up violetta tony christiana oh yeah what up keep you non-dm answering mother
blessed son you're gonna send me a dm this morning but not respond to mine yet
god i still love you though all right so like hey how you doing oh yeah yeah
from you okay go ahead start you're busting up my thought process i'm too high for this all right
here we go so i was having this great idea the other day about trying to figure out a way to
expand web3 more right what do you guys actually think about blockchain voting if we were able to
change the voting system to blockchain now here were my thoughts behind it number one you cannot rig the
blockchain because once something is inscribed on that bitch it doesn't go anywhere right you could do it
buy and the way the onboarding part would happen is like when people go to take their ids in like
they would normally sign into the system it's going to give them like a wallet id number instead so they
would put their vote using that wallet and it would just say that wallet goes there right it's public
information but it's not going to have your name or identity attached to it right because it's going
into a system right so it's still anonymous and your votes still count but you can't actually like rig and
cheat the system but in doing that process you are technically onboarding people into the basics and
beginnings of understanding what a blockchain does and i think that could then lead them into trying to
understand cryptocurrencies and expanding their knowledge into web3 what are your thoughts on that
i think it's brilliant have you met um uh january um i forget her name exactly there's a congresswoman
uh that's in web3 that's talking about blockchain what was it january curry right possibly um and she
was talking uh she's like a senator i believe or congresswoman and she's been talking about blockchain
voting and also the um the u.s postal service uh in the united states got a patent for blockchain voting
back in uh 2020 actually so it it definitely is something that we should work to i really really
believe in it personally like i think it's you can't have privatized companies for those you don't
know about the american voting system there's privatized companies that um own the voting systems and
can do really whatever they want and there's no oversight um and if you say you want to inspect
the systems you go to prison or you get arrested like like donald trump did so it's a yeah i think
we're long overdue for like some kind of security and in voting you know i'm so sorry i missed it
what what was the solution i think the solution is keep talking about is to get you know you can get
with that congresswoman and we have to decide that it's wanted we have to decide that it's something
that we want we have to bring it up in this debate season you know as there's debates there's ways
to sending questions things like that if you go to your local town halls like there's like an rfk rally
on friday that i'm going to like you know what i mean like just go to local things and get the mic
and ask a question and just actually get it on their radar and be like what do you think about
blockchain voting would you be willing to you know put that as a forefront of your campaign you know
and then whichever one does support that candidate i guess you know what i mean there's like
unfortunately we have a candidate based system in the u.s um so it's less about issues we don't really
bring up the issues and bring up a person who's going to bring up all those issues hopefully and we
hope that they don't totally screw us over which they usually do because they get paid once they
get in the office to not do those issues right so um hopefully you know we can solve it but i don't
think it's a thing that we're solving this year i think it's going to take like five ten years of
political will and like people wanting it and saying this has to be fixed you know there's gonna be such
rigorous kyc i mean there's gonna have to be especially i i can see dow voting for not just uh elections but
also little changes local and government um on little laws little bills making it a lot easier
for people to vote that would be so incredible because just requiring people to go in person
i really think that that's a major contributing factor to why we have such a small turnout of
people voting all the time it's this is a basic american right um it's also sorry i'm sorry to interrupt
um but i so i had got to vote online for the ecuatorade elections because i have dual citizenship
um it's also not mandatory like in ecuator it's mandatory so everybody votes like it's not a thing
so um that that's also a great a great way to get people to vote um you just force them everyone's
already enrolled um registered and then they have to vote um so that's a really nice way and if you don't
and if you don't vote it's like you have to pay a fine which is not ridiculous i think it's like 50
dollars or something i mean it is ridiculous if you're like don't have obviously i'm for very very
low income but but it's that that's what it is um and you can vote like an ecuator you can vote online
i mean this last election was kind of like a shit show there was like a bunch of issues and there's
definitely some shady shit that happened because it wasn't like blockchain verified but um or anything
verified it was it was very shady but but that's the case i also want to reiterate like donald trump is
not being prosecuted because of what he's saying it's not a first amendment like trial it's because he
did things that went against and violated laws um so yeah just like make sure we're like clear on
that language here because that's not the reason um that he is being prosecuted right now and then
the last thing i wanted to say is um which is what i wanted to say earlier is the way we keep we fix
web3 is like we stick to it and we see the problems like the problems that i see for example is
i don't see representative panels being put together i don't see any of these things being put
together and i'm holding my friends accountable you know what i mean my friends who are like yeah
i agreed to be part of this panel i'm like that panel is all dudes or all white dudes like
why are you in that panel why aren't you making it more diverse and they're either requesting that
more panelists get added or that the panel get reshifted because that's what we want to see right
we want to see a future that's representative where all of us are collaborating together where it's not
like the women are working over there the men are working over there and everyone's like
separated we want to build something together um and it's the same with accountability i feel like we
forget a lot of times these mistakes that happen like oh it's just because these guys already worked
on this project and it was semi-successful but was it successful what actually happened to that
project what happened to those funds what ended up happening in the end because this is what happened
what happens these guys just end up having these resurrection moments where they're like oh yeah i'm
back remember that other project i launched that like nothing went nowhere like here i am again
with another project to pitch to you and because everyone heard a lot of buzz on that first project they
think oh they're successful so let's fund them instead of funding like hey here's this like
random little group of people like ragtag group of people that are working on this thing that could
actually be really cool they're not interesting because they didn't get the buzz the first time
around in the bold run and so now a lot of the builders that are like in web3 like working right
now and especially for musicians they're doing really cool it's just they're basically like
self-funding it and bootstrapping it themselves and so you're not going to hear from it because
those people are not going to have the funds to like pay a publicist to get it to be on like
some stupid forbes list or whatever um and so as a result they're not seen as successful but to me
like the tools that they're building are way more successful and we're not paying attention to that
because you know we're just gonna like listen to this guy who like got a bunch of followers in the
bull run and he has more validity heck the top talking head in music nfts or web free music or
however the fuck you want to call it is this dude who has no experience in the music industry he's not
even like a music fan he's admittedly said that he's never listened to to freaking most of the nfts
he has like and yet everyone's like yeah let's book this guy for panels he's gonna be the person
that like speaks in all of these things because i don't know because he was able to raise money
because he got a bunch of money from crypto and he's able to raise money and gets a ton of a ton of
buzz but he has no actual experience so he's not even building like tools that people but fans or
musicians wants he's just like out there like making a name for himself and like look at these people like
what are they doing that they want to become celebrities themselves or are they actually
providing value to the community you know what i mean it's just like this whole fucking justin
quote-unquote justin beaver drop happened it was like a shit show because yeah they communicated
wrong they made everything incorrectly they just cloud chased because it was somehow tied to justin
beaver it had nothing to do with justin beaver and yet we just keep allowing that to happen you
know this is the second time they do a drop like this well they did it with rihanna before now
they're doing it with justin beaver and everyone's like yeah justin beaver came to the blockchain
it's like guys come on did we not learn a lesson this has nothing to do with justin beaver let's
get these guys had one percent right they have like one percent of these these royalties and then
they split that up one producer who actually he owns it's more way more complicated than this but
like he actually owns 11.9 almost 12 of the track when it comes to writing and the master but he is
surrendering like so all together if you do the math together it's equivalent to one percent but
then he's giving part of his percentage and again like they're not accounting for streaming
um what is it streaming uh i forget the fucking term but like streaming basically depreciation
like the song streams a lot when it's first released but not so much um later um because
it's not like it hasn't become a staple song that's not a staple song for justin
so they like basically pitch people that you can recover your investment in so many years but that's
not true because that map does not add up to all of that again you're also not buying any part of
a copyright like he's not giving you his copyright history he's giving you the right to collect royalties
on the streaming only so if he does make any money from any other thing that has nothing to do with
streaming nobody's making that money if you're buying this nft um so there's like a law of diminishing
returns where it's like it's gonna end up being a ponzi like they'll keep putting out more and more
so yeah oh my god i forget what the term is they call it in the music industry but it's like
streaming it's yeah something like that but the point is like this whole nft cover was done wrong
but they did the exact same thing with the rihanna drop and they continue to say like the rihanna nft
the justin bieber nft and like hello like we know that that's not the case we know that that's not the
case and so and then yet we keep covering you know and you see all of the web free music people
saying like justin bieber is coming to the blockchain like repeating all this copy that we already said hey
this is duplicitous this is wrong we are not okay with this this is not what it is and yet they're still
doing it and no wonder the sec took down the rihanna nft and openc had to delisted the same
things can happen with this justin bieber nft because they are it it just it's kind of shady
the way they're doing things but again we're not like everyone's just like applauding it like booking
them and like let's book these people on a panel because they did this and we're like we're validating
these people when we know they're doing wrong things and we're just doing it for i don't know clout
chasing or money chasing like it's not it's not things we're like like i said there's people building
really really cool tools um but they don't have like a ton of like resources so you don't hear of
them and so then they're continuing to live in obscurity they don't have as many followers like
they don't have a hundred thousand followers so therefore like what people say like that person
doesn't have a thousand followers they're not as cool as this person and we know those vanity metrics
don't matter so i feel like that's that's where i feel like we're failing because we continue to
uplift these people and like we retweet these people and say this guy did this this that or we adopt the
stupid term of on-chain music because some dude decided that was a new term like those are things
that are like annoying to me because i'm like this is why things keep repeating like we're going to
keep repeating ourselves if we just keep elevating these things that we know are wrong because we're
clout chasing and that's not cool steph do you think part of it breaks down to like the pareto principle
like the 80 20 or like you know like the 90 of the results are going to come from 10 of the people
and like it sometimes feels like there's always going to be that 90 that don't care and the 10 who are
actually here building the web 3 that the 90 are going to use and throw their garbage out in and
litter in and things like that and break the windows and you know and show rugs and it's almost like
that's why i when i'm building a thing called the pepe punks dow and uh why i'm building it down now is
to get into you know governance and understand governance and understand the challenges of it
how do you get people to vote how do you incentivize people um you know how do you like and i really i i'm
going into it with open eyes understanding that if i have 200 people in the community there's going to be
10 or 20 people that are actually voting and that's okay you know what i mean and just being
okay with it right now the 10 or 20 people and then maybe you know they'll make that cool and
they'll make caring cool and governance cool and people will see what we're doing with those dow
funds and supporting artists and sweeping artists floors and paying musicians for shows on spaces
and then we'll get this cool competition thing where they're like oh i people like love to hate me
so like oh hey cristiano i want to do better than him i'm going to donate more money
you know and then we get in a great competition where it's like you know i'm going to donate more
than you you know i just feel like the way like people are communicating things is like it's so
messed up it's like either nfts are all financial assets which they could be or but i feel like we're
just not thinking of the truth as potential what it is like i think the magic of violetta's community
for example is not in the fact that like she has sold this bunch ease she has pushed this time but
yes those are great those are points those are data points that she can definitely like push behind but
it's more like these people are holding on like they're not leaving they're here and they care
and so like that's sort of what to me is what matters right and what is special about like web3
and all of that um and i do want to say coop said um they did so they didn't take down the nft
but they like delisted it from openc and then um i don't know what they did but this is a cure
um that's the case realty backed nfts are not are not yeah they're securities um but yeah i just feel
like it's about like carrying yes a lot of people are going to clock chase a lot of people are trying
to do this thing but we know like we know how to weed out the the like the good from the bad and we
just need to like truly get behind it and say like hey no this dude is a grifter like we're not going to
support this guy stop retweeting him or stop replying to him and i've seen it you know what
i mean like the space that i'm in the morning with jane and violet like it gets more listeners than like
other stuff and it's i think that's where we need to be headed and be headed right like this space
needs to have more listeners and other stupid spaces where they're just like shilling you like
shady things you know so that's that's kind of what it is i feel like we just need to like keep holding
each other accountable like hold this front talk to each other too and i feel like that's fair you
know what i mean if you see something that like hey that doesn't sound cool and i've done that too like
i've dm'd be a lot i'd be like hey that was kind of weird um and the fact that like she takes the
time to be like why like and we have this conversation and we can keep having these
dialogues that's gonna help a ton and that's what we need i'm i'm just a little like wary of this like
whole self-segregated silos that we have like the fact that like some of the men in the web3 space
still don't know what boys club is is like like mind-blowing to me like how do you not know what
boys club is um or the my vff project like all these women-led projects like the men have no idea that they
even exist and that like to be honest stuff i don't know what either of those are i don't know
what that is either and i'm a man exactly but that like blows my mind like these are all like women-led
projects that have done like incredible impactful things and and are like you know onboarding more
women and giving them tools to do this so it's like just i don't know like that to me boggles my mind
the fact that like we've created the silos and then we stay in the silos like i it takes me a lot of
times and i kind of go everywhere but but it is important that like we get to know these projects
and we support them you know what i mean these pfp projects have brought a ton of utilities sometimes
women-led pfp projects and we just ignore them you know what i mean like we know hugs you probably know
hugs if anybody knows hugs here they're like always putting artists to the forefront well that stemmed out
of like the my bff project which was the original kind of massive onboarding of women and that was done
and 20 and i think the beginning of 2022 and they brought all these women on board and it was
awesome like they they created i saw it happen they created like something like 4 000 wallets in a
matter of like you know one live stream and so those things are cool and are happening but like other
people don't know about it because it's not whatever it was not like the cool happy trending thing it was
still cool to build um but yeah it's just that that like that still blows my mind like i can't believe
people don't know what what boys club is i think that's like sorry to interrupt i think um i i wanted
to go to kirk because i know he has to leave shortly uh so i i wanted to say hi to him he just said he's
got to jump uh very very shortly but i did want to say something like personally this is my my opinion
like the you know i'm really and this might sound weird but if you know me you know what i mean like
i i i i don't care if it's a women-led project or a man-led project i i don't care like to me that's
not at all like a factor that i take into consideration and and and you know you know
why not because i don't think women are good but i don't think it should matter if you're a woman or a
man you know that's something you were born with and not something you worked for so as much as like
of course i am a woman you know and i want to support women i'm not going to support you just because
you're a woman just like i'm not going to support you just because you're a man you know so like
that that's kind of what i think but apart from that i do agree with you you know in general like
things that are good in general should be paid more attention to you know and music at the forefront
art at the forefront and we have so many people i love jayden space like he holds the the fort down
like every single day non-stop just just like us here so i think um you know these are really the
the important things but one solution may just be like this is you know this is life like it's
it's like that in web 3 it's like that in web 2 like i came to web 3 because it's better than web 2
to be honest there's worse people you know in the music industry in web 2 than there are in web 3
so um yeah anyway don't want to bum anybody out you know like i feel like it's good like we're we're
we have bull market vibes i feel in in the music and art space in general and as long as we keep
them high like that we're gonna be good and we're still here you know after such a long time um with
no drama and and stuff like that so um anyway you know appreciate appreciate you a lot stuff for
everything you do for the community i want to say hi to kirk because i know he has to jump busy guy
kids 50 jobs 15 music nfts many projects he's working on what up hi yeah honestly hi yeah honestly
all the stuff how you doing
no i'm good i'm i'm like back to work today i had like two weeks off um
boo yeah no wait boo two weeks off or boo back to work i was saying boo learns
classic um yeah no we had fun uh in michigan last weekend uh really cool definitely wish you could
have stuck around a little bit longer um how was it kirk i wanted to ask like after the whole thing
because for you it's a big deal like i mean i feel like it was a big deal for everyone but i feel like
especially you know after you know your success after not thinking you could you know the whole
story that that i also mentioned that at the festival you know if people don't know kirk never
thought he could do music again you know he had a different job and thought kind of gave up on the
dream until he came across it again through web three and then jumped back in and now he's playing
festivals around the country so it's a pretty big deal i think so yeah how did you feel yeah it's
it's kind of crazy i was telling somebody this the other day like um and by the way a shout out again
to you v for such a kind uh introduction uh for because i went up after v so she's like oh i'll
introduce you i was like oh man so but i it was really sweet what you said and i'm definitely grateful
for you but um yeah it was it was wild it was uh it was like the first like full set that i'd done live
probably in like almost 12 years like you know what i mean because i mean i played like the one
song in london or whatever but like actually like playing a full set like live on stage again that was
like the first time in in i think almost 12 years so uh yeah it's pretty wild um i mean i i figured i
would have been more nervous just because you know it's like you're out of the game for a while you
like you really feel it plus you know i've always kind of like i prefer being in the studio rather than
doing live stuff it's just always how i've been um but yeah it's weird i wasn't i wasn't all that nervous
at all really so it's kind of kind of cool in that way and i think it's just like speaks to web 3 and
like how you're i don't know i feel like in this space you just get way more validation than you do
in the traditional world and you know just genuine support from people um and i think that goes such a
long way for artists because you know we're you know most artists are like very self-critical i mean i'm
especially that much that way um so i i just i think the just having that web 3 you know my time
in web 3 to like work out a lot of those kind of you know what do they call it again the imposter
syndrome stuff or whatever you know i think i think it helps a lot and it really like boosts your
confidence in general just kind of like you tell yourself like like you know who cares like what
people think like i have some close friends close allies that respect what i do and you know like
what i do so that's enough you know i mean even if it's like three or four people like that's you know
that like they're always going to be in your corner so that's what's really cool about web 3 and
you know i i don't know man i know some people are like bearish or think oh we're in bear market
for everything but it's like honestly like i've never been more bullish or like excited about this
space you know i like i don't know like super down i was like no this is great like this is we're heading
in the right direction you know so i think i think it's it's just going to be good you know going
forward and it's only going to get better like the the more the closer we get to like like a true bull
run you know it's just going to get it's just going to get better i think music nfts especially they're
going to have their their kind of spotlight moment um it may be you know may take a year it may take
two years it may even take three years but i think at some point like the big spotlight's going to come
shine down on this space and you're just going to see a flood of kind of regular people start
inquiring and coming over and you know prices are going to go back up and everything like that so
you know we just got to keep doing what we're doing because you know it's it's going to come around
again for sure um without a doubt but yeah it was it was awesome uh just getting to see everybody
hang out um you know see people that i had never met before irl like you know we talked about this a
lot like especially like meta dave uh mike bass uh who else even nessie it was like you know it's like
we've been talking to each other for like over a year and like literally never seen each other
irl and you know it's like a lot of times you think oh this is gonna be weird or awkward but
it's like it wasn't it was just like uh you know what i thought kirk on your note you know what i thought
was uh cool was that as we were together we were talking about others that were not there
like with you know affection affectionate words you know like oh we missed like almost like we
missed them you know i remember we had a whole conversation about suave i see him in the audience
that's why i'm saying it because we had a whole i think the dinner the night that i was there we had
an entire conversation about suave and and like you know with just uh you know positive uh
um how do you say like like we were missing him you know i felt like that was the way and
so yeah we were also fomoing about others not being able to make it i felt yeah no definitely
and it's just cool i don't know it's it's very fulfilling i feel like you know yeah and i feel
like it solidifies just the whole irl thing it just solidifies all this stuff we've been doing
you know over the last year and a half you know um and yeah every opportunity you get to like go to
an irl event and just hang out like do it because it's really memorable um especially we did like an
in the rounds uh session on saturday night um towards the end of the the festival and it was crazy it was
like it was me taylor mike bass fondue joe ryan uh gabe shillman and then uh mark lavengood got up
a little bit into it with us it was just like all like seven of us like doing doing it in the rounds
like it was just wild it was just but it was really cool you know it was very memorable very special and
you know you create these moments that last forever you know because like i said you you for
you form these bonds with people online and then you meet irl and it just kind of brings everything
together so uh really really cool definitely missed uv wish you could have stayed longer but i know you
already had the other trip planned but hey there'll be more of these right so looking forward to the to the
next ones for sure i mean shiba fest is planned to happen every year so you know it's only going
to get better and bigger hopefully but um yeah no thank you kirk it was you know it was amazing to
watch your whole set and said i missed the rounds of course said i missed everything else but we do what
we can and uh i'm grateful i'm grateful for it i'm i wanted to bring back the attention to my
engagement farming day operation uh today uh because it's it's actually going really well
for those that don't know i'm testing something and i'm not bothering anyone who like actually
follows me or that i actually follow and stuff i'm just going to those big accounts and i've set up this
uh it's not even a bot it's just an extension that writes the tweets for me and some of them are just
i want to read you one guys because i don't know what the hell i'm writing about okay here we go
there's this this um tweet that goes if you could name the first city on mars what would you name it
and i decided to use the smart setup uh for the tone and so my answer was i think it would be really
cool to name a planet after the person who discovers it that way they would always be remembered for
their amazing achievement uh which i think is already quite a funny comment and then someone
comes back in comments what if it was james tallywhacker
and then i don't know it just it's just stupid guys it's just dumb but i'm having fun because the
things that come out from this ai are just hilarious and my tweets are getting like oh here we go this one
is going crazy i wrote the first city of mars i would name it twitter tweet tweeter you mean the
site where people share their most private thoughts with the entire world i don't think i'd want to name
it anything which has got nothing to do with the actual tweet that i was replying to and people are like
what did i just read what but it's got like the most views of all so i'm discovering the tactics and
letting you know in real time just write the most outlandish things you possibly can things that
make zero sense and those are going to get a lot of engagement i'm just telling you what i'm
experiencing and i'm up at almost 400 000 uh engagement today just today but where are you
finding the tweets to reply to do you have like a list or something like that um i well i went to some
big accounts and i set notifications on and now as soon as they tweet i go right at it and i post a
comment i found a little hack by the way so um people like nft god and things like that they have
like the big reply guys they have a list on their account like of you know what the who they reply to
right that they've typically made and you can access anyone's lists so if you go like me or violetta's
account you know you can go to the top right the dot dot dot and you can actually see uh view lists and
you can view all the lists that that person made and so you can get their like reply list you can get
like their you know their crm yeah i know that and i knew that also nft god at one point i think he
figured this out that they were public so he posted a way to make them private so they can't steal your
lists but no we're doing the opposite we're sharing the knowledge so i'm telling you if today only i got
400 000 views organic impressions i mean you need five million in three months to qualify for
monetization on x and i'm just saying like while you're hosting a space and stuff i just got my
laptop open it's not taking me any effort or time i'm literally just clicking post so who knows for us
that we spend so much time on the platform you know um and uh while we're doing something else and
stuff you could maybe experiment with that see if it works see what happens um but yeah i mean this
space has been going now for a while i completely good the meeting was pushed back so i didn't have
to close it i did want to say hi like properly hi to coop deville come on coop how are you

hanging out and and it's just a big you know i don't know about you and your goals and where you
wanted to be in a year but i definitely set a goal to be like i wasn't on stage you know i wasn't even
putting myself out there's a musician i was like i want to be on stage but this time next year just to
come full circle and to be able to perform alongside you and do and some of the other amazing people and
for all i mean i know you're not nervous about this but i am super nervous because i signed up
not knowing it was a room full of playboy bunnies and now i'm like okay no no pressure uh yeah so i'm
just like a little bit extra nervous about the performance yeah so that is happening in vegas
we're performing at the mansion 2.0 for a bunch of playboy bunnies and it's like
and cuba getting junior no big deal and that robot sofia who's i'm most starstruck by so we're
going to be performing for like not just cuba getting junior and bunnies but also like this ai
that's going to like listen to our music and decide if it wants to save humanity or kill us
based on our performances so no pressure no pressure just chill just be christianu man
yeah just be yourself i'm mostly nervous um for the playboy party because
um because um because i'm the first one of the of the lineup so and i have the calm music
so it's like i don't know we'll see i'm excited though the rogue bunnies if you're there uh mr
darius is also performing it's gonna be a a nice little gang going on so yeah yeah i'm changing my
whole set list i'm only playing prince songs now what night is that violetta it sounds so funny
sure are you are you coming uh no i don't think so um little guy's got a something he needs to do
tomorrow um but i'll text you but i was just wondering what night is that um it's the 13th isn't it

yeah i'm gonna go out in the balcony and smoke first oh yeah i'm gonna have blunts ready for us i'm
gonna be ready guys and i live here in vegas so if you guys need anything dm me and i mean it so
and um yeah let me know it's gonna be fun thank you keith thank you so much i appreciate that yeah
it's nice to have friends in the room it's like it makes it a lot easier for sure i just watched this
video oh max actually max knows what i'm talking about uh the youtuber guy who does documentaries about
like different cities and stuff did you watch the one about oh yeah he did a vegas one i want to
watch did you watch it no i'm like scared it's such a weird title i'm like i don't know you got to tell
me yeah it's pretty scary i don't think which one is it like it's the one about like human trafficking
yeah no it looks like i'm like oh god i gotta like be in the right mood to listen to watch this
yeah honestly as much as it can be it's pretty light uh because the people like that are talking
that went through this stuff are you know you can tell that they're over it uh they're being pretty
cold about it um so it doesn't like totally give you anxiety but i have to like sheds like the stuff
because vegas is crazy i mean you're gonna get approached by like everyone i know i'm sure keith knows
it's crazy yeah i mean i told dave dave metadave is coming too um and i told him to watch the thing
before we go it was like no no uh and then i told him to watch one there was there's one about detroit
as well i don't know if you watch that one i'm watching them all they're so good guys what
peter is his name look him up on youtube he's got a series instead of watching netflix this is like
like really educational for me at least i like to watch and learn since i just moved to america i
have to learn about the places and i can't travel everywhere to learn about the places and people
and different things there's so much to learn maybe maybe it's hard to realize when you're from here
like it would be for me you know for europe no it's good even when you're from here because he just gets
on like the ground level and he's like super fair and objective and gets everyone's points of views
you know what i mean and every city is like its own country here oh for sure yeah i mean it's massive
oh cool well that's i didn't realize that it would be that see that's another thing
that i'm that i'm learning so i thought i thought those are really good if you just move to america you
want to like get to know the place beyond where you just just where you live or so um that's a really
good good good series doge god so i just had a question for you be a lot of do you ever do any
car karaoke because i've been like getting back into doing car karaoke when i'm bored as well so
i posted my car karaoke video up there for you to look at i sang an old song that's like one of my
all-time favorites but i'm gonna start doing it again so i'm just curious do people actually still
just think in the car just let it go like they don't care who's around them first of all that's
fire and i'm gonna check it out check it out you use the the filter as well that's hilarious with all
those hairs coming out of your chin that's that's hilarious so i'm gonna watch it and um sadly i don't
have a car and i don't even drive so unfortunately i cannot do carpool karaoke because i can't what
if you got in the uber you can get in the uber get in the uber ride just start saying the back of the
car dude i don't know like i try to be as quiet as possible when i'm in ubers because last time i was
in an uber one of the last times that i spoke uh to the driver he called me violator instead of
violeta so like i'm not gonna talk to you guys anymore and then oh my god one super funny thing
and then we're gonna start winding this down guys because it's been three hours already this is funny
as hell right and it's perfectly in theme with moonshit monday as always um so i get in this car
it's a nice tesla you know this uber i take ubers everywhere right because i don't drive um so to go
to the grocery store i take an uber to go to you know whatever i take an uber and um so the guy's
driving and he's talking to me and then i start hearing fart noises like really loud and like long
and i was like is this guy like is he funny in the car i'm gonna leave a really bad review uh but
it almost seemed like too i don't know the timing was too perfect every time he was turning and so i was
like wait like how is this possible and then at one point i didn't say anything for like seven minutes
i didn't say anything it was so like awkward and then at one point i i i had enough and i was like
is this some kind of like ringtone you have for your phone or it's like no it's it's a thing you have in
tesla you can like turn it on and every time you you put you know you push the brake or whatever it
makes that noise and i does it i do it to a upset client like passengers and stuff and it makes people
laugh and he was like are you seriously thinking i was fighting this whole time i was like yeah kind of
um so yeah beware of that when you get in an uber that happens anyway that's as far as i go uh in
terms of carpool um anyway they have a carpool karaoke app in the tesla like and it like plays
different karaoke stuff and you just sing along kind of brilliant it's like it's the best feature
better than the fart push the brake honestly when you're getting into your tesla and someone's like
a little too drunk to drive sitting in there and playing video games and doing like carpool karaoke
like it's saved lives because you're in there for two hours and you're like oh we should
probably go now i'm completely sober good to know good to know i'll ask the next tesla uber driver
to let me try it um all right guys well riyadh you just snuck up at the last minute how are you
i'm good and actually i'm starting my own philosophy now why don't we change the term which is how are you
because every time someone asks you how are you you remember that you are not feeling good so why
don't we change the topic okay just like say uh also what's up it's the same topic we will remember
that we are not good we need to change the term let me find it i need to find another term but i love
the farting well and this guy up here oh my god every time you want to interrupt me while i'm expressing
myself so you know he's trying to say i love you i miss you oh give me the hand holy
shit okay talk to them because go back every time i don't don't interrupt me while i'm expressing myself
to the people maybe maybe i'm single maybe someone here just see me and feel like hey this is amazing
and you're just destroying the potential connection keith oh boy
okay let's hear it you see guys why i'm still single because every time i came to speaker and i
tried tried to do something one of those and they tried i'm choking on my blunt oh my god how dare you
i don't think that's why riyadh uh but i wouldn't beat myself up too much i mean you don't want to force
anyone in your life you don't want to force yourself in someone else's life like you know what i mean
like the time will come and uh don't keep keep doing you you know keep coming up keep finding these
alternative approaches you know like don't say what's up or how are you if it reminds you of how
miserable you feel don't don't do that because i might do it to the other person too so i think you're
gonna get there riyadh no worries actually violeta there is an option you can do it and it will save
many many blonde people like me and my society actually in my society arabian society all of the
songs they are speaking about the brown man and the black eyes imagine if i write you a song in arabic
and you sing it for the blonde people okay and i will promote it by myself don't worry violeta
okay so you will speak about the blonde guys blonde arabian guys and something like that
so you will create a full market for us violeta and it will be dope and i will link you with some
arabian singers that i know them and some arabian celebrities so it will be dope violeta just try it
and i'm up to do it 55 east
excuse me 55 i have it i will not be in your space now i will be married now seriously 55
see guys i said who let him up here he's he's this guy's a menace he has beautiful art though
beautiful our shit this guy's really talented but most artists are a little you know at the
really really good ones they're little you know i'm doing a weird face and i'm doing a weird hand
motion you can think for yourself but you know but they're your beautiful minds create some just
amazing things and riad is a good guy i'm just giving him i don't even know why i'm just like
i'm like it's violeta space maybe i'll be the heel i'll talk some
shit and then violeta just comes back and says some nice like true compliments and um then i'm like oh
shit he's single because i'm giving him shit it's part of the play it's part of the game you know
like this is the thing every time riad comes up someone he he says he's single and he's desperate
keith gives him shit i'm like no riad don't worry you know it's a whole thing uh so it's it's it's for
the audience guys it's it's for the audience anyway uh okay guys i gotta go unpack do laundry pack

profile or i'll pin it up top check out uh if you're into some of the stuff we're talking about
in terms of speaking truth to power and i'm just kind of creating a positive sea change in
the space of people who aren't afraid to stand up to bullies and rug pullers i consider uh checking
out the pepe punks it's a pepe punks dow it's on my profile i'll pin it up top and we're just
basically a community of people that are gathering together to put some money into a pot and say hey
let's support the musicians and let's support the artists and we're going to start with the
musicians first though because you know we're long overdue for some uh back pay for all the shows
we've played on these spaces so we want to start doing things like paying you know artists to play
and stuff like that you know when you come up and play in a space you get a few hundred bucks and
things like that and creating jobs for web three through bounties and stuff um for meme creators
and art creators and stuff like that so yeah uh it's going to be a long-term thing i'll be working
on it for the next few years of my life so if you're interested we're not trying to grow too big
too fast just we want to get the right people in so and a lot of people you know are already in there so
awesome thank you steven i mean what can i say um uh this was a great moon shit monday

foundation is flora vita beautiful floral still lifes that live forever collaboration with ai
