Recorded: Jan. 6, 2024 Duration: 2:19:52Space Recording
Full Transcription
In a world characterized by unprecedented connectivity and decentralization, the community of communities stands as a testament to the power of collective ingenuity.
Together, we'll discover the limitless possibilities of the Web3 movement and the remarkable individuals and communities who are shaping the future.
Stay tuned for a showcase of inspiration, collaboration, and boundless creativity as we dive deep into the heart of the community of communities.
Welcome aboard.
I now bring you our host, Die Revolution.
Good afternoon and welcome to the Web3 community of communities space.
Tonight, we are featuring some incredible people.
It's also a bit of a different space tonight than how we normally do it.
We will be featuring two guests, but we will also be allowing some guests to come up later on in the space.
But first and foremost, more importantly, happy Saturday.
We hope everyone is well and safe.
Happy New Year. Hope everyone has been having a great time with the family over the Christmas and New Year period.
If you do celebrate or you don't, but either way, we are super excited.
We are happy that everyone in Web3 is still thriving and moving forward and coming ever closer together.
As always, I will give everyone a brief breakdown of what we're going to be doing in the space and how we're going to be conducting it.
And then I'm also going to introduce all of the team and then our first guests of the night.
So, first of all, we have a core team of eight.
We have many people who support us very closely and also many communities and projects and founders that work closely with us as well.
But tonight, as always, we have our team on the stage.
Almost all of them turn up to every space, which is absolutely phenomenal, if you ask me.
But I'll dive into that nonetheless.
So, tonight we will be featuring predominantly Salty Sharks.
We've got some really exciting updates for us.
Super excited to have Rob here to speak about that.
We also have Stone Sloths here for the first time, which is awesome.
Another great project that we've been around for quite a few years.
So, it's great to finally come close and speak and get to know each other on a more personal level because that's what we're about.
As small as Web3 is, it's also very large at the same time.
But without further ado, I'll introduce the rest of the team and then our first initial guests.
So, first and foremost, we have Christian from the Stray Dogs Club, the Dogs' Official, the Community Community Core Team and the Shibu Society.
How are we doing, Christian?
How are we doing? It's Saturday today.
Looking forward to tonight's space.
Always enjoy hearing updates from Rob.
And can't wait to meet Stone Sloth.
So, let's go.
Let's go.
Yeah, no, nice one, Christian.
I know you're always a super busy man.
It's incredible.
You guys are phenomenal.
How busy real life is, how busy Web3 is.
And somehow, every day, we manage to show up and do our thing.
Absolutely incredible.
We also have two cohorts for every single space.
It can change sometimes because the team's epic and we're always standing for each other at all times.
We have one who isn't here just yet, which is Tricky Buddha.
I'll let you introduce where he's from because I'm sure we already know.
But that's awesome anyway.
It's a great intro that I don't even want to try and ruin.
And we also have the bacon sandwich.
Bacon, happy Saturday, sir.
How are we doing?
Hey, what's up, guys?
I'm going to be a little bit absent for the first 20 minutes.
I've just got to drive back from my mate's place.
I kind of stayed a little bit later than I was intending to.
But what I want to do, I want to jump down to listener because I can hear it better.
And then when I'm back at home, I'll request to jump on the panel again.
Sweet.
No problem.
Nice one, Bacon.
I appreciate you listening.
Lovely.
Nice one.
Jumping in and explaining that as well.
I appreciate that.
But for the time being, we will get some other co-hosts on just because you can have more
people on stage when you have more co-hosts.
So I will get our legendary team up as co-hosts for the time being.
But yes, we also have CryptoTour in the building.
Let's go.
How are we doing, Tony?
Oh, I know he's working as well today.
He may be a bit busy because this man works seven days a week.
He is a man of many skills.
Master, what is it?
A man of many skills.
Oh, I can't remember it.
Hey, Mickey.
That's the one.
How are we doing, Tony?
How are you doing?
How is everyone?
I'm good.
Thanks, mate.
Oh, sweet.
Good, thank you.
Good, thank you.
I have been working.
I'm just getting my tea, settling down for this space.
Looking forward to it.
Yeah, I can't remember that quote.
I was trying to think.
It's actually annoying me.
I mean, man of many trades, master of none or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't remember what it is.
Anyway.
Or there's one where there's all the gear, but no idea.
Yeah, definitely that as well.
That's awesome.
No, glad you're all right, Tony.
I appreciate you jumping up as well as working.
But yeah, I'm definitely all the gear, no idea kind of guy.
But yeah.
Anyway, without further ado, we also have in the building, we have Rob from Salty Sharks.
Rob, how are we doing, sir?
Good morning.
I know it's good evening for you, but it's good morning for me.
So thanks for the opportunity to come along again.
Actually, I come along as much as I can to these because I love to listen to the various speakers
because you guys do some amazing spaces.
But yeah, thank you very much for inviting me along to give an update this morning.
It's been amazing.
So I'm running on about three hours sleep, but that's okay because I've also had some coffee.
So I feel pretty pumped.
Nice.
Wow.
Yeah, three hours sleep.
That's rough, that.
They actually say it takes three hours before your body starts to feel the effects of benefiting
from sleep.
So it's probably better that you've only had three because any more, you would have been
even more tired probably.
Well, that might explain how I'm feeling right now.
That's good to know.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just what they say.
It takes three hours before your body starts to feel the benefits of sleep, which means
if you've not had more than three hours, you're not going to feel the downside of not having
enough sleep.
So I think you might have found a little leap hole in the system there.
We might have to...
Maybe a glitch in the matrix.
Yeah, that's the one, yeah.
That's the one.
Three hours sleep.
Maybe that's why the prime ministers only have three hours sleep, so they don't feel
the effects of being tired.
That could be it.
Or those prime ministers are just also on their way home from Bacon Sandwiches' mate's
place, and that's probably why they can't get any more sleep.
Yeah, yeah.
That's more viable, to be fair.
I think that's probably more...
Yeah, he's well-connected, that guy.
Yeah, he is.
He knows everyone, just keeps you quiet.
Yeah.
Hey, can I give a shout-out to Christian Droglons?
I mean, he is an absolute phenomenal legend and supporter and helper, and he just did a
couple of video edits for me, and I gave him the video, and I just asked if he could potentially
help me out with a couple of video edits, no time pressure, whatever.
Anyway, he just got it back to me within that sort of 24-hour period.
Which was just remarkable, considering he's ridiculously busy, and he's working on far
more important stuff.
So, mate, I really appreciated that.
That was just absolutely epic.
I wasn't expecting it back so quickly.
But thank you so much.
You are amazing.
Thank you, Rob.
But no worries.
He's so modest as well.
Look at him.
Just like, yeah.
Just, oh, did I do something?
Yeah, Christian, you are a legend, sir.
But yeah, Christian is a legend.
He's one of them.
He'd be like, oh, I'm really busy for the next few days, so we think, oh, he's not going
to be around.
But the things that need to get done still just get done.
He just speaks less.
It's incredible.
I don't know how he does it.
But no, definitely the man to ask if you need anything, because he's one of those that
if you can't do it, he'll either learn how to do it in record speed or just somehow manage
to make it happen.
So, yeah.
Definitely love you, Christian.
You're a legend.
And he doesn't take compliments very well at all, or anything very well, to be fair.
Go away.
There you go.
Takes it like a chip.
Your Honour.
But yeah, no.
So, yeah.
Thank you to everyone for jumping in tonight.
We appreciate you guys turning up every single week.
It really does mean a lot.
It does normally take five or ten minutes for everyone to join, because I know people
are always in multiple spaces.
It's multiple times a day.
It's Web3.
So, I like to play a few songs that VI underscore NFT made for us.
So, if you want to see more of the music he makes, check him out.
And our introduction is also made by a guy called Shaggy from CBW Radio.
He's an absolute legend.
He has his own radio station, like, officially in the UK and in the United States.
And it's also very Web3 friendly, and the man is absolutely iconic.
But yeah, so, just for people who may not know who you are, Rob, which I know will be
probably, everyone will probably know who you are, but for people who may play back the
recording, or just in case we make any content for later down the line, or for when people
look back in history to see how all these iconic Web3 moves are made to take Web3 to
where it's going to go, and they listen to us talking about these projects.
If you could just give a brief introduction of you and your projects, that would be splendid,
sir.
I will, and I'll keep it as brief as I can as well.
So, I'm Rob Kennelly from Australia, Toowoomba, Australia, and I'm the CEO and founder of the
Salty Sharks Uprising.
So, we're an entertainment and education brand focused on marine species conservation, specifically
sharks, rays, and turtles.
We have three main key pillars of our brand, entertainment, which is the story, the epic
story of the multiverse, which is available in an audio book and written, as well as comics
and games, of which we've released four games already, and we're working on our flagship
TCG at the moment, and I'll tell you more about that a bit later.
And we've got an animation series that is in the works in discussions for the second half
of this year to commence.
And then education, which is obviously a very key part of it.
If you're going to change the hearts and minds of people in regards to a topic as important
as sharks and shark conservation, education is critical.
So, education is a key part of and a key pillar of our brand, and I have some very exciting
news on that, which I'll share a bit later as well.
And then, obviously, the conservation aspect, which is where we partner with real-world agencies
like Finns Attached, who've been our partner now for well over 18 months, getting close to
two years now, and they're a US-based research and not-for-profit charity that are involved
in shark, ray, and turtle research and conservation, and have been doing so for decades.
And they're an incredible brand, an incredible business, and we provide them with funds, shark
tags, and promotional support, and marketing, and merchandise, and so forth, and work with
them to promote shark conservation.
So, that's sort of who we are in a nutshell, and I can go through some of the elements
of that with you all a bit more down the track through the spaces.
That is absolutely incredible.
Thank you for that, Rob.
And what an exciting project, and it's so amazing that not only is it super exciting for
people who are just passionate about Web3, but it's amazing for art enthusiasts, game enthusiasts,
people that care about animals.
And even if people don't particularly care too much about animals, it's still great that
good things are happening as a result of what you've built, and I think that's absolutely
remarkable.
Thank you, mate.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's been a long road to get to this point, and I know we're one of those brands that
people in Web3 go, oh, I've sort of heard of them, but I didn't know much about what they
And when they start to dive deeper into some of the stuff that we're doing, they realize
that it is a very deep well of incredible content, incredible activity, and an amazing
community.
Community is at the very heart of what we do, because you can't do anything without solid
people around you.
I mean, our community has been with us for over two years, we're part of the community
of communities as well, which is just an incredible brand in and of itself, and we're part of,
obviously, the book project and all the things going on there.
But some of the stuff that we do is very much groundbreaking.
It's innovation.
From my understanding, it's the first time some of this stuff's been done in Web3 at all.
So, yeah, it's kind of really exciting to be at this sort of position at the moment, going
into 2024 with so many huge elements that are coming to fruition, and people are seeing
that the holders are getting just incredible value and benefit and utility from all that
we're doing.
So, hence, the fact that the NFT product, which is a very small part of what we do, but that
product is just sustaining itself, its value, its desire.
Obviously, the art is top-notch, and people are really seeking them and collecting them
and benefiting from them.
So, amazing.
Yeah, no, we appreciate the kind words.
It really does mean a lot.
And it's awesome to be around people that are so passionate, that take this so seriously
and are working really hard and adding value at every opportunity.
It's an absolute breath of fresh air, and you're a phenomenal individual, Rob.
And I know we sing each other's praises quite a lot, but it's just great when you're around
people that inspire you and also keep you on the right path as well, because it's, you
know, when you're around good people doing good things, it just helps you look at yourself
and go, you know, where else can I add value?
And when people also add value to you, you know, you start thinking, how can I add value
to them?
And, you know, if we all have the same mindset and ethos, then, you know, we're all just
adding more and more value as we go.
And it's also inspiring, you know, sometimes when your tank's running a bit empty and you have
three hours sleep and you're, you know, you're up at a crazy hour in the morning
to speak to some bizarre northern British people.
And, you know, you just need that little bit of motivation, and it's great that we can
get that from each other.
But anyway, without further ado, we've got Mike Smart in the building.
Mike, good afternoon.
Happy Saturday.
How are we, sir?
What up?
Just feeling salty, you know.
Let's go.
Yeah, the shark is in the building.
I'm just kidding.
True.
Yeah, we should have had that as the introduction of the space, actually, shouldn't we?
Yeah, no.
And, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that would have been a good one.
Actually, speaking of song, I'd like to give a shout out to someone in the audience, Mitch,
who's down there below with the fancy PFP there.
Mitchell created for us our anthem, this incredible song for Salty Shark Uprising.
So it's called The Saga of the Uprising.
It tells the story of the origin of the uprising and the purpose and, you know, really leads
in heavily to the story, the characters, and the purpose of what we're here for, which
is obviously marine species conservation and also Asian conservation as well.
It's a truly amazing piece of music and song that he wrote, produced, performed.
He did the whole lot.
It is just absolutely epic.
It is available on OpenSea for 5Matic, and we have the amazing folks at Collab Center.
Sorry, Alex, who works with them, is putting together a music video of sorts for it as well,
which we'll be releasing hopefully very, very soon.
But that is just an incredible song.
I'm super proud of it.
He's just done an amazing job, and I can't shout him out enough, seriously.
An absolute talent.
So, yeah, I should have had that keyed up to play.
I do apologise.
I don't have it ready to go.
Let's go.
No, that's awesome.
And, you know, a massive shout-out to, you know, being so creative.
And again, adding more value as we go, you know.
And, you know, just having people that help bring to life what it is that you're creating
and give it that extra feel that you just can't do on your own, you know,
and having, like, music that's, you know, tailored to what you're building,
it just really does bring it to life, and it makes you almost feel 4D
from just a 2D image that you had in your mind.
Yeah, it really does.
It honestly, it kind of took my breath away when I heard it.
You know, it's just so well done, and it's got the passion,
and it's got the conviction, and, you know, it's just a rousing sort of,
I suppose it's a ballad in a sense, but it also has all the sort
of modern musical elements to it.
You know, it's just an engaging piece of music.
You know, I'm not the best at describing music,
but I love it when I listen to it, and, you know,
his efforts have been outstanding.
So, and it does add a huge element to the brand.
And, you know, when the brand has, as you know,
with Community Communities, you've got your own theme song as well,
so you know very much the power of that.
So, you know, for a brand to have that music and theme song,
I think, is just epic.
So, yeah, big shout-out to Mitch.
I just posted the link to the one that I bought for the Salty Sharks theme song.
So if anybody wants to listen to my NFT, they can,
or they can go buy their own.
Where can they go buy it, by the way, on your website?
It's available on OpenSea.
So if you're in our Discord, you just go to the marketing channel,
and it's available in the marketing channel.
And I will post up a – I'll post up to the Jumbotron a link to it as well,
mate, so people can find it easier.
Yeah, I just – like I said, I just posted mine.
And thanks again, Mitch, for the extra one too,
because I bought one and then I got another one in my wallet.
So bonus.
Just on that, that extra one is the – that's how fast he is to handle
that third web contract vulnerability.
So he actually redeployed the contract to protect against that vulnerability,
and that second one was the airdrop of the one you purchased.
Nice.
Well, they both play music, so that's nice.
Yeah, they're both pretty phenomenal.
So, yeah, yeah, it's good.
So I just wanted to give him a bit of a shout-out because, you know,
so many people help us with what they do,
and so many people contribute to the brands,
and, you know, they just – they deserve a mention.
Yeah, fair play for that.
And it makes all the difference, again, you know,
someone that's taking the time to use their skill to create something
for an ecosystem as epic as yours,
and they get to feel good for doing that as well.
You know, that's that extra, you know, feel of validation,
and it's awesome that you do that on a public platform for people to hear that
because, you know, Mitch has done an incredible job.
So definitely a massive shout-out to you, Mitch,
and I will find something on your page that replicates what you're doing,
and I'll pin that at the top as well
so people get the chance to look deeper into you and who you are as well.
But, yeah, no, I'll do that right away.
But we also have Stone Sloth in the building as well,
so I'll say hello to you too as well, Stone Sloth,
and then we can dive deeper into some of the Salty Sharks updates,
if that's all right.
So, yeah, welcome to the platform, Stone Sloth.
Sorry, I don't know what your name is just yet
or what you would like me to refer to you as,
but welcome and happy Saturday.
Yo, thank you, man.
Regarding the name, I'm called Reece,
but a lot of people know I go by the name Sid the Sloth.
You know, it fits and stuff, so Sid goes well.
A lot of people call me Sid and I'll take that,
but no, I'm doing good.
It's nice to get on the space.
I hopped in the one yesterday
and just listened to that conversation for about an hour.
I loved it.
It got pretty deep and that's what I like about it,
but I know Trey's been trying to connect us
and then you just get into the daily grind
and then you just never seem to get them jobs done,
but no, I'm super happy to be on the space tonight.
So, yeah, thank you for getting me up.
Yeah, thank you.
We appreciate that.
And, wow, you're British.
That's awesome.
That feel good of, I know this guy who lives close to me,
but yeah, because the UK is like super small,
so you're probably a stone throw away.
But no, that's awesome
and it's great that we can connect as well
because, you know, it's probably the same for you.
A lot of people that we connect with
are from everywhere else in the world,
so it's great to, you know,
find people also on home soil as well,
which is epic.
So, thanks for joining us.
Yeah, no, 100%.
When I heard you bringing up the team
and then a few more British
and then the Scouse and, yeah, it was dope.
I was like, this is the space.
And a lot of stuff that I'll talk about,
it's nice because people understand me
that little bit more.
Obviously, regarding the name of the project,
you'll probably all got questions
of the route that we're taking
and obviously the British people get the feel better
because they understand legalisations
and stuff like that.
So, it's nice to chat to people
that are on my kind of level as well
and going through the same kind of time of the,
I don't know, I think we're in the past times,
but just going through our time over in the UK
and stuff, it's definitely going to be a good one.
Yeah, no, definitely.
It's an hard one to explain,
but I know exactly what you mean.
So, I know it's great.
It definitely makes me happy
because, like we were just saying,
a lot of people we meet are all over the world.
So, it's great when we can be around people,
understand the lingo
and the way the legalities are
from our neck of the woods, shall we say.
So, no, I'm super happy about it
and looking forward to getting to know you more as well.
So, yeah, Sid the sloth,
I'll definitely go with that.
People used to call me that growing up,
but it wasn't due to sloths.
It was just because I looked like Sid
to some people, apparently.
But, yeah, I couldn't change that, unfortunately.
But, yeah, so, no, nice somebody.
We will definitely dive back into you
and your ecosystem a little later on,
if that's all right.
But we will move forward
with the updates from Salty Sharks
and forget that I ever said
that anyone ever referred to me as Sid the sloth
so that it never happens again.
But, anyway,
would you like to dive into your ecosystem
more on your updates, Rob,
so that everyone forgets
that I was called Sid the sloth growing up?
Oh, mate, I'd be happy to.
And I'd also be happy just to remind everybody
that this is a recorded space
and that Sid the sloth reference for you
is probably going to stick.
So, not to take it away from Rhys,
who obviously is the original Sid
because it's, you know,
it's his brand, Stone Sloth.
But, yeah, you're probably going to have that moniker
for a while, mate, sorry to say.
I was going to say exactly the same thing.
You said it now, mate.
That's it.
That's it.
You're gone.
I'm definitely going to see it there.
A personalised Stone Sloth now
just for this moving forward.
So, yeah, get your artist on it.
I think so.
I think so.
It definitely has to happen.
I've already got the artist on it.
As soon as you said that,
I was like,
we'll get something going for this guy.
No kidding.
Legends.
Legends.
Sorry, Mickey,
but now you've said it,
I just can't unsee you.
Sorry.
I've also derailed the whole conversation.
I do apologise.
But, yeah,
it just gave me some flashbacks,
that's all,
that I thought I'd forgotten about.
So, yeah,
just need to contact my therapist
and then get back to it.
No, I'm just kidding.
But, yeah, wicked.
So, let's go.
Let's dive into these updates
we've been so anxiously waiting for, Rob.
I'm super excited about it.
No, no worries, mate.
And thank you so much
for the opportunity again.
So, look,
I'm not going to go with you
through all the different aspects
of the project and the brand
because that would take two hours
and, you know,
I don't want to bore people to tears.
But just in terms of the updates,
we've got some incredible stuff
happening right now.
This month in particular,
we'll be redeploying
the first-issued comic
migrating it from Ethereum to Polygon.
The core reason behind that migration
is obviously that third web contract vulnerability.
So, we obviously shut that down
as soon as it became an issue
and dealt with it.
But now we're taking the opportunity
to migrate it to Polygon as well
for a lower fees perspective,
but also to tie into our,
you know, future comic editions
and also the game,
the trading card game coming as well.
So, that comic issue one
will be redeployed
and airdropped to holders
within the next day or two.
And then issue two
will be launched as well.
So, that's kind of super exciting
because I'm really pumped about issue two.
It's the first double episode
of the Adventures of the Salty Seven
and I've been just dying
to get this particular issue comic
out for our audiences.
It also contains NFTs
from holders
as characters in the story.
It's the first of our adventure stories
that actually does that.
And each of those holders
was paid a royalty
for their NFT to be included
because obviously,
they own the IP rights
to their NFTs.
So, they were paid a royalty.
Their NFT is part of the story.
They're key characters in the story.
You know, they're not just
they're not just bit part characters.
They're key characters in the story,
which is really, really exciting.
And yeah, so it's great to see them
come to life on the page,
you know, in a comic format
as well as having the NFT as well.
So, I'm just really excited
to get that out
and see them being part of that.
So, that's coming out
within a week to two weeks
for that issue two comic,
which is cool.
We have a game day presentation.
I know that Hangry Animals
is also presenting on that day, Andy.
Oh, sorry, he's done the second
or third day,
but we're on the first day.
And that's a presentation
through the Game Starter Collective.
Sorry, Gaming Starter Collective.
And they're bringing together
VCs and game studios
and angel investors
and a bunch of other people
who are extremely experienced
in the gaming industry
to hear from Web3 game developers
on the games that they're developing.
So, we'll be showcasing
the trading card game,
which is in beta mode
testing at the moment.
And, you know,
that's a great opportunity
to not just bring, you know,
investors on board,
but also to start that PR
and marketing
and get that sort of game
out in front of the bigger players
so that we can,
when it's ready to launch,
we've got an opportunity
to really kick that off well.
So, I'm super excited
about that game day demo.
And that also ties in
with our gaming grant applications
through Albatrum as well,
which we're hoping to hear back
from very shortly.
So, there's tons happening
on that front,
which is really exciting.
We've also just launched
our latest game offering,
which is the Atlantis Subracer.
So, the Atlantis Subracer
is a spatial platform-based game
and it's designed to tie in
with our education platform.
So, I mentioned earlier
the three pillars of our brand.
The education brand
is a key part of that
and that's a metaverse-based
education offering.
And this game
is a key part of that.
It's a very fun game.
It's just a racing game,
but it happens to be
a racing game
that's underwater
on the ocean floor
and you're racing submarines
around quite a challenging track
through canyons
and small tunnels
and, you know,
over little rises.
And it's just a really fun,
challenging game
for people to get involved in.
Totally free.
Free to play.
You don't need a wallet to connect.
You just use the link.
The accessibility of the spatial platform
is what's so cool about this game
is that you can play
while you're, you know,
you might be taking the kids to school
or picking them up from school
and you've got 15,
20 minutes to wait for them to be out
or you can be jumping on your mobile phone
and doing a couple of laps
of the sub-racing track,
which is really cool.
So, available on mobile,
tablet, computer,
VR goggles,
you know, the whole bit.
So, really, really cool game.
It's got a couple of games
within the game.
So, there's a gem collection
game on the track as well.
So, once you build up
a perpetual count of gems,
it unlocks new sub-designs
for you,
which is kind of cool.
So, it gives you different subs
that'll perform differently,
have better handling,
you know,
some have better speed,
you know,
and just look really cool
and different.
So, those sub-designs
that are being built
are going to be reflective
of the orders
within Salty Shark.
The orders are the clans,
if you will,
that are reflected in the story
and the comics as well.
So, if you're in our Discord,
you would know about the orders
because you'd have selected one
and we're representing that order.
And we also have
multiplayer race mechanics
that should be live
within a day or so.
And that will allow people
to set up multiplayer matchmaking
four races
in the circuit,
which is super exciting as well.
And then they get...
We need to do a community night
on that, I think.
Oh, yeah.
I reckon we could rally a few people.
What's the max per race?
If you're in a multiplayer race,
I think there's probably going to be
probably up to four in a race,
in any given race.
You wouldn't want any more of that
because the track will get
too challenging for them
because, you know,
you'll be ramming each other
off the sides of the tracks
and...
That's a part of the fun.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's a fun one.
So, yeah.
So, you can definitely line them up.
Basically, the way the multiplayer
will work is that
once someone starts
a multiplayer race,
it'll remain open
for like two minutes
and people can join that race.
And then either the time elaps
and the race starts
or the person who started it
can select begin
and the race starts.
So, it's up to them
how many people
they want to let in
the multiplayer race with them.
But it'll actually teleport
those people
to their own version
or instance of the track
so that you can race
on that track
and then you come back together
in the other instance.
So, it just keeps it nice
and tidy.
And there will be new tracks.
Oh, sorry.
Yep.
It's unrelated
to what you're talking about.
Go on.
Carry on.
I'll come back to it.
Oh, no.
I was just going to say,
so we've got new tracks
coming as well.
There will be two other tracks
coming all based around
the adventure story
of the multiverse
or as we call it
the salty verse.
So, those two tracks,
extra two tracks
will be available as well.
So, it's, you know,
it's one of these games
that is a great little time waster
before you realise it,
you know,
you've spent an hour
trying to master the track
and get a great time.
And there'll be rewards
that we give out
for the best times
and we've got a leaderboard
that's already in play
so you can see your results
on the leaderboard
and how you're travelling.
So, yeah,
it's kind of cool.
Go with your question, mate,
before I move on.
Oh, yeah.
When's the next expo?
Because I really enjoyed
the last one.
I had a really good time.
Yeah, absolutely.
We are planning
on the next expo
for February.
We wanted to give
sort of December,
January a break
because people are,
you know,
on holidays and,
well,
when I say people
on holidays,
obviously anyone outside
of Web3 is on holidays.
Everyone in Web3
doesn't take all of those.
But we gave it
a bit of a break
for December, January
and we're bringing it
back in February,
which would be really cool.
So, yeah.
And as I mentioned,
with the Subracer,
it's very much
a game in spatial
but it's tied
to our education piece.
So some of the purposes
of the game
really don't relate
too much
to the general player
like us,
you know,
going in there
and playing the game.
It relates to students
that are participating
in education programs
and learning programs
within the education centre
that they can actually
go into this environment
as well
from that education centre
just via a portal.
They can,
you know,
do some racing.
They can do
some learning.
They might get tasked
with going around
and identifying
all the different
marine species
that are swimming
around the track
because if you're
in the track
you'll see that
we've got a ton
of different marine species
that are actually
swimming around
as 3D models
within the track.
So they might have
to identify
those species
and report back
to sort of
the classroom environment.
So it becomes
an engagement tool
and a learning tool
so it keeps them
interested and engaged
when they're learning
in a virtual environment
as well.
So that's kind of
one of the purposes
of the track
and of the game
which is a mini game
for the brand.
So yeah,
so that's that
and I guess
that leads into
the rest of our
Metaverse
environment.
So we've been
building
feverishly
over the past
couple of months
a number of
different environments
for education purposes
in the Metaverse.
You would have seen
as you just mentioned
Expo Island
which is the
Isle of Avalon
which is where
we host expos,
we did movie nights,
we did presentations
in the auditorium,
heaps of different
things there.
We've got our
what we call
our Holder's Lounge
which is a
sort of relaxed
lounge type environment
which showcases
the brand
and allows people
to sort of gather
much like they do
in Discord
but they gather
in a virtual setting
with their avatars
and they can have
conversations
and you know
just listen to
different music
or watch
sort of movies
and different
presentations and stuff
so they can do that
within the lounge.
And then we've got
the game
obviously
the Subracer game
but the piece
de resistance
is what actually
pulls all that together
which is the
Oceans of the World
Aquarium Centre.
So this is a
very large
three-level centre
that
brings all of
these elements
together
gives access
to them via portals
but also provides
specifically Web2 people
with an opportunity
utilise
a centre
where they can host
different education
activities.
It's got classrooms,
it's got auditoriums,
it's got boardrooms,
it's got meeting rooms
and it's got
it'll have information
on obviously
for us
it'll have information
on our marine species
and our education
piece around that
and our partnership
with Finns Attached
and it will have
an opportunity
for other brands
to showcase
their
brands
in that
environment
you know
in a perpetual way
sell their merchandise
sell access
to their products
all of that
can be done
from within
that environment
that centre
it's
almost
complete
it will be
ready for
launch
and showcase
within the week
and it is
it's just
yeah it's just
amazing
the feedback
from people
who have seen
it so far
has been
just mind-blowing
they absolutely
love it
and a centre
like this
gives
a lot of people
in web 3
and web 2
an opportunity
you know
engage with it
utilise it
without necessarily
having to go
through the
expense
building it
themselves
and hosting it
themselves
it provides
a place
for others
to come
as well
which is
really exciting
and that
kind of leads
into a little
bit of alpha
I've got
and I can't
say too much
we are
in the process
of signing
our first
web 2
education
brand
to utilise
metaverse
environments
for their
education
platforms
which is
an absolutely
huge
thing for us
it's one
of our
core
deliverables
on our
roadmap
and it's
the first
of our
I suppose
brand revenue
streams
outside of
NFTs
because
for us
as a
brand
we were
never
intending
to have
NFTs
as our
core
revenue
stream
it was
never
case
it was
gaming
products
generating
revenue
and it
was our
metaverse
environments
and education
environments
have
already
negotiated
onboarded
and we're
ready to
sign them
deliver
that
platform
to them
for their
education
purposes
and host
it for
them
tailor
it to
what their
needs
and they'll
be using
environments
and our
platform
for that
which is
super
exciting
it's
happened
earlier
than I was
expecting
I was
expecting
it would be
sometime
in 2024
that we'd
be able
to do
this
we've
actually
been able
to bring
it forward
this
particular
education
brand
is based
in the
they
have
a lot
other
connections
with
other
education
institutions
in the
Web2
world
they've
also
got a
focus
conservation
both
ocean
forest
conservation
so that
was a
nice
lead-in
as well
just
absolutely
pumped
to be
able to
deliver
this
to kick
this
huge
pillar
of our
brand
sooner
than
expected
Sounds
like
progress
to me
incredible
very
exciting
definitely
a great
question
because
these
Web3
Expos
phenomenal
I don't
know
if you
want to
respond
what
said
there
before
anything
else
I was
just
going to
you said
you had
updates
didn't
realise
there
were
many
think
fact
that
you've
these
metaverse
spaces
that
people
could
utilise
utilising
think
really
cool
they
share
that
same
belief
conservation
which
ties
like
it's
making
moves
it's
making
connections
Thank you
mate
absolutely
look
at the
of the
think
it's
about
that
network
connections
ability
just
people
work
within
Web3
together
which
I know
we do
with
guys
community
communities
a lot
other
brands
we have
some
amazing
partnerships
Web3
also
it's
about
building
partnerships
that
network
Web2
well
because
it's
onboard
people
into
Web3
through
those
connections
this
opportunity
it's
been
something
we're
working
some
time
able
deliver
this
then
board
literally
hundreds
thousands
students
into
game
spatial
education
environment
spatial
kind
it's
beginning
isn't
it's
exactly
what
talked
about
need
want
we're
actually
seriously
really
doing
yeah
exactly
it's
been
brought
life
actually
really
exciting
it's
phenomenal
what
happens
as well
when
right
people
brought
together
as well
because
there's
just
this
whole
vibe
around
this
entire
ecosystem
that
you've
built
communities
that
surround
that
can't
that
it's
something
that
have
experience
it's
great
that
doing
this
environments
like
spatial
grants
people
opportunity
enjoy
more
personalised
manner
where
people
can be
more
expressive
skins
that
they
choose
also
able
show
imagery
videography
people
better
understanding
what
it is
people
talking
about
it's
definitely
future
it's
very
engaging
just
imagine
give
student
planet
earth
chance
walk
into
classroom
down
with
paper
textbook
opportunity
walk
into
virtual
environment
that's
gamified
in a
where
they
opportunity
look
they
want
look
which
think
they're
going
more
engaged
with
feel
they're
going
best
response
think
know
answer
that
yeah
think
choosing
spatial
a lot
this
stuff
going
really
beneficial
project
because
that
super
barrier
entry
just
need
email
address
cracking
it's
simple
like
it's
minimum
barrier
entry
100%
think
that's
that's
exactly
what's
allowed
start
onboarding
companies
like
this
that
because
I've
done
presentations
other
businesses
based
when we're
looking at
other
platforms
as well
all the
different
things
we've
been
doing
metaverse
space
about
year
biggest
challenge
people
have
it's
much
work
understand
there
they
need
educate
they
just
fall
away
they
just
lose
interest
becomes
difficult
back
burner
all that
sort of
stuff
with
spatial
makes
simple
easy
they're
very
excited
about
possibilities
that
allows
them
move
from
there
more
what
there
myself
what
build
that
that
partnership
with
education
platform
that's
what
we're
doing
we're
going
make
that
available
I've
some
pretty
exciting
content
to show
within
a week
which
will
that
center
that
oceans
of the
world
aquarium
center
it's
going to
blow
your
mind
it's
really
amazing
yeah
that's
awesome
I've
just
pinned
something
well
isn't
video
that
looking
video
talking
about
recent
expos
some
have
been
this
industry
years
it's
like
meta
builders
have
been
doing
this
years
trying
people
value
absolutely
exhausting
really
awesome
that
guys
stick
long
enough
people
taste
because
people
just
don't
once
they
they wish
they'd
been doing
a long
time
because
they
realize
that
there's
so much
more
in it
than
initial
reason
doing
first
place
think
that
that's
that
we're
trying
better
highlighting
that
only
are you
going to
learn
something
and have
opportunity
network
with
people
similar
wavelength
also
potential
partnerships
collaborations
that could
take
place
also
no one
interested
just
aspect
industry
industry
could
people
that
become
more
deeply
invested
into
your
ecosystem
there's
so much
to be
taken
from
this
guys
have
done
incredible
building
this
years
making
point
where
people
just
seamlessly
enjoy
with
simplicity
downloading
an app
and adding
an email
and then
away
you go
because it
wasn't that
easy
when you
first
started
building
these
yeah
100%
yeah
it's been
definitely
a challenge
over the
time
and a
challenge
which
I know
you guys
understand
I know
Mike
smart
definitely
understands
as he's
been doing
the same
thing
and building
it as
well
you know
it also
brings
people to
the partners
as well
so as much
as we're
doing this
to obviously
bring attention
to our
purpose
which is
marine
species
conservation
education
in a more
broader
sense
it brings
these
web2
people that
are coming
into
this
environment
you know
being part
of this
adapting
and adopting
brands
metaverse
ecosystem
saltiverse
but it
also means
that they're
going to get
to see
and experience
the partners
brands
and the
partners
metaverse
environments
because
everybody's
got their
own extra
take on it
their own
little bits
of extra
things that
they want
to showcase
in the
metaverse
space
and it
just brings
people to
because one
of the
downfalls
at the
moment
metaverse
content
is that
it's so
sparsely
populated
you know
like
it's just
got so
few people
in each
of the
ones
bringing
these
people
into
salty
verse
in a
web2
sort of
education
platform
means that
there's going
to be
hundreds
and thousands
of people
that are
part of
those
platforms
and their
customers
and their
education
products
and bringing
them into
the metaverse
in a more
centralised
and when I
say centralised
I don't mean
centralised
control
I mean
centralised
location
and that
means that
they can
then
the place
looks fuller
you know
people attract
people
crowds
attract
crowds
and when
they start
to come
in and
see these
particular
environments
and then
follow the
portals
and follow
the links
and follow
advertisements
if you will
from our
Web3 partners
they'll see
others as
well
and then
they'll start
expanding
their horizons
and that's
what allows
all of us
to you know
to lift
our environments
to another
level
so I've been
a big fan
of the saying
a rising tide
lifts all boats
and I thoroughly
believe that's
true
yeah I
completely agree
with that too
and it most
certainly does
I first heard
that quote
from Zal
or his ex
profile is
better call
but that's
such a great
quote and
that's exactly
and you know
we're trying
to do a great
job of
highlighting that
in real time
and it's events
like that
that do just
that
that lift
everybody up
and you know
reminds everyone
what all the
hard work is for
and it's just
good to see
people you know
when you see
anyone talking
about something
that matters
to them
and is passionate
about
that you know
you really see
people come to
life and it's
great that
they can
showcase that
and have
what they've
built come to
life as well
so yeah
it's just got
a great
overall feel
to it
and it's
awesome that
you're able
to you know
onboard
you know
web2 brands
as well
and have them
see that
so I'm
excited to
see that
unfold
that sounds
really exciting
yeah
so I've
probably shared
probably more
than I should
have at this
point
but look
we're signing
them up next
week so I
don't really
care
it's exciting
times
and it's
a great
crowd
you know
and you
guys have
been huge
supporters
and friends
and helpers
and yeah
at the end
of the day
if you're
going to
share it
anywhere
this is a
good place
to share
but we'll
be showcasing
what these
partners are
doing and
what they're
utilising the
environments for
but you can
imagine just how
popular the
sub racing game
is going to
be with all
those students
can I just
say I've
pinned to
the top
snapshots of
when I was in
the sub racing
game it's
amazing I would
recommend anyone
to go and have
a look it's
got whales and
sharks and all
sorts and big
massive squid of
some sort or
octopus
it's cool
definitely recommend
checking it out
that would be a
blue ring
octopus that
well said
well done
get you
get you
yeah look at
him go
that's it
Rob I love
I love it when
you come and
chat because
you've always
got you've
always got
stuff going
on you
you're always
making progress
I'm always
excited to
hear what
you've got
to say
Robo Rob
thanks mate
I appreciate
it and thanks
for the
opportunity to
share these
updates as
well so
that's
awesome
so how
do we
get in
like if
someone was
to want to
become like
an investor
partner what
would be the
best way would
it be through
the NFTs or
would it be
through something
else like a
token distribution
no the best
way is just
through the
NFTs mate
you know it
gives people
an opportunity
to you know
access all of
the different
features of
the brand
you know it's
not just about
the metaverse
stuff or the
saltyverse stuff
it's also about
the comics
it's also about
the games
and that IP
ownership the
chance to own
a character
and a story
you know I
think this
it's an
underrated
aspect to
not just our
brand but a
lot of the
brands in
Web3
and a lot
of the
brands in
community
communities as
well is that
you know you
own with the
NFT and
and the
ownership of
that IP
and the
asset which
is you know
named character
if you will
you own a
character in
a story and
and you know
and potentially
that character
you own that
character in
the comic you
own that
character in
the animation
show so
imagine if
you could have
gone back in
time and
bought owned
the character of
Raphael in the
Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles for
example
you know just
how valuable
would that
be as a
character that
you owned
now that's
the sort of
thing that we're
all building at
the moment and
yes it's the
you know it's
the early days
of Web3 and
you know everyone
keeps talking about
how ridiculously
early we are I
think 2024
though is going
to be the
year which
people start
to talk about
how people
have missed
out on the
early boat
but because I
think 2024 is
going to be an
absolutely huge
year for crypto
and NFTs as
well but owning
a character
that grows and
exists within a
multiverse environment
comics animation
series etc I think
is going to be
incredibly valuable
so you don't want
to underestimate
that sort of
return for
holders but
there's also
other returns that
they're getting
right now like
holders right
now earning
Matic monthly
on our
Surf's Up
game board
you know so
we had one
holder admittedly
he's a very
large holder so
I'm not going to
shy away from
that but he
earned he
claimed 410
Matic off the
Surf's Up
game board this
month that was
his prize claims
you know it was
a particularly good
month for him he
hadn't claimed
that high previously
but through the
combination of
traits in the
NFTs he holds
for the random
generated game
board of this
month he was
able to claim
410 Matic so
you know that's
some incredible
return on investment
for holders who
are able to sort
of claim those
rewards each and
every month just
by clicking claim
on a digital
scratch and win
board so you
know there's that
sort of return on
investment that's
live as we speak
you know there's
obviously the games
like the sub
racing game
and the Minecraft
game there's
you know discord
games that are
unique that you
won't find anywhere
else like shark
attacks and then
there's you know
we haven't even
launched the trading
card game yet but
when that goes
live you know the
opportunity to rent
your NFT and earn
rental income from
your NFT to other
players in that game
is just phenomenal
and we couldn't ask
for a better platform
to start promoting
that trading card
game than with the
education partners
that are coming on
board for our
metaverse environment
that are literally
bringing hundreds of
thousands of students
to you know our
brand so from a
marketing perspective
for the trading card
game I'm pretty
pumped.
I told my son about the
Minecraft thing because
he plays a bit of
Minecraft and I said
oh my friend's got a
world on Minecraft and
then he kind of huffed
at me and he was like
yeah but which version of
Minecraft is it which
version of Minecraft is
it that your game's on
I bet he's I bet he's one
of these bedrock maxis
isn't he I don't know I
don't know enough about
it to really say that's
all right tell him tell him
it's on tell him it
requires Java so it's it's
the Java Minecraft the
Java version version 1.19.1
which is easy the version
is easy to get like you
just you can just change
the version within the
launcher for Minecraft so
that's not a problem but
it's not bedrock compatible
some of the features that
we've implemented like
teleporting way stones and
those sort of things require
Java so so it's a Java
based bedrock is the is
like the bedrock is like
the Xbox version and the
Java is the PC version
isn't it or you can get
both on PC okay okay
cool cool cool I'll let
them know yeah that's it
mate yeah that's incredible
as well that you know one
of your holders has earned
that much that much from
just enjoying the game you
know so it's great that
that is you know already in
full motion and I guess it's
also as well the perks of
you know getting involved
early as well because if
you're good at it and not
many people are I'm not
saying that's the case
because I don't know but
not too many people are in
competition you've got a
chance to you know get
yourself up there on the
leaderboard haven't you
yeah well the surf's up
game board is available to
any holder and there's no
time limits on on most of
the rows so if you hold
those NFTs you can claim
the prizes it's it's
literally it's literally the
biggest digital scratch and
win game you've probably
seen so you just go to the
website click the go go to
our you can go to our
website or go to our
discord click the link to
the surf's up game board
connect your wallet it reads
the NFTs from the
collection tells you which
ones are eligible for
different rows and allows
you to claim your prizes
it's that simple if you
want to know how the
mechanics of each of the
rows works we've got an
explainer video on that in
the discord so if you're
going oh well what do I
got to do to win more
well listen to the explainer
video and it tells you
about the different rows and
how they randomize their
criteria each month so then
you can start looking to
collect traits that are
that fit together to give
you more chances to win
higher amounts but you
know we've we have people
with only one two three
NFTs that have won 30
Matic in the last month
you know and you don't
have to do that too many
times to repay your
investment so it's pretty
cool yeah
probably a good spot to uh to
transition over to our
other guests um did you want
to add anything extra on to
there rub no no mate no i've
talked long enough uh i've
clearly bored the crowd
because they're just they're
all stunned silence so um i i
want to hear from uh reese and
stone sloths as well you you
you stunned you stunned me
every time you arrive mate so
i think you've wowed the
crowd more than stunned us
you know you've done a
phenomenal job and you know
you've been so consistent and
building and you know one
thing after the other and
everyone that's involved in
your ecosystem is happy with
it it's functional and it's
working and uh you know
fair play to you and for
coming in here as well after
only three hours sleep to
talk about it when you've
probably not asleep because of
it is uh is awesome so fair
play to you on that nice one
rob we appreciate it no
worries brin thank you no
that's what you were saying
earlier uh there is actually
a sleeping hack uh not many
people know about it but if
you can sleep two or even
three times a day um you can
get away with like four to
six hours sleep a day that's
the that's the sleep hack
wow okay that's good to know
that might be worth a try um
finding time to actually sleep
two to three times a day even
if it's only for small
amounts is a challenge still but
i'm gonna go for it
so it goes back to our our
cavemen days so um the the
men predominantly uh would
stay awake at night on shifts
um and then they'd go out in
the morning to hunt and then
they'd come back at midday with
with food and they'd give the
give the food to the women to
prepare and they'd go for a
sleep and then they'd come
back later and then they'd
party um so uh it kind of goes
back to our our roots um of
having two sleeps a day or more
oh i quite like that and i like
the idea of being able to you
know club my woman on the
back of the head and drag her
home to cook a meal for me as
well i mean obviously if we're
going to go back to caveman
days i'm going to do that
naturally uh and then she's
going to kill me for even
thinking about it
so i was gonna say you dug it
all so deep you was a you was a
level with the bottom of the
ocean there but i thought that
probably suits you well so uh
i love it man that's good
thanks bacon
yeah that's awesome because
uh the sleep hack i'm using at
the minute is getting no hour
sleep at any time of day and
i've got 24 hours a day to
work so i could do to switch
that up a little bit but yeah
anyway nice one rob and uh
nice one for the sleep hack
there but i'm gonna try that
and i've got a reason now as
well science you know you
can't you can't you know just
trust the science that's what
we've been told on it so yeah
i'm just gonna trust the
science but anyway sorry
without further ado we have
got stone sloths in the
building thank you so much for
joining us we're super
excited about this our
british friendships are
getting ever larger and i'm
super happy about that as
well so uh yeah welcome to
this space thank you for
joining us and uh yeah if
you want to give us a brief
introduction of who you are
um you know what your
project is um we could dive
deeper a little into that if
you like and then just give
us a brief introduction as to
you know how you found web
three and what it was that
brought you to web three to
build in the first place
that'll be epic
yeah for sure for sure so
obviously you know my name
now is reese uh but i do go
by the name of sid sloth and
everyone in the discord it's
sid and even on the spaces so
i'll rock with it that's fine
we'll go with that um but
yeah so to start we've been
building uh personally i set it
all up on my own we've got a
few little members they're now
helping in the mods and stuff
but back in the day because
obviously it's a fresh space so
many new faces especially you
guys i'll take you back to the
start um so i was probably i've
been in the space around four
years and i was investing into so
many projects and and when i was
investing we was in the bull
this is what i want to get
clear was in the bull market
uh and loads of them was
revenue streams and this and
that and all these false hopes
and everything like that and
i can get i can 100 say that
not one of them is about now
um and it just pissed me off
just to another level just to
i don't get why and it wasn't
even failing the project was
good they had the community was
there but they still did it
anyway so i took a step back
from investing and i just wanted
to jump into a founder shoes and
just do it myself uh so for about
six months i was i was coming up
with ideas and building just just
on pen and paper and on the ipad
and just playing around and i come
up with stone sloths um it's a
little bit of me um i can
definitely connect with it and it
was just funky and i just wanted
to do something a little bit
different that i've not seen
there's lots of animals projects
like so it just it just felt like
it was right uh so i created the
gen one collection over a year ago
now um i did everything myself so
that not the smart contract i use a
platform called launch my nft map
you might have heard of it just
for easiness i didn't know what i
was doing but i was going to give
it my best shot so we used the
platform all the artwork i did
myself all the discord set up and
everything like that was just
purely done on my own and we
minted that collection out in about
two months 555 so it wasn't massive
amount and we only did it for 0.1
sol and the reason for that was
this was just to build up a
community um just to get people
there just to get people knowing
about the project and we did have a
full-on blown roadmap pin because
at the time that was what it was
about you had a roadmap and not many
people stuck to it but we hit every
single pinpoint on that and it got us
to where we are today so that's a
little bit about me uh if you got any
questions on that i'm happy to answer
i'll i'll dive into a little bit to
where it brought us yeah no i want to
guess i want to guess where you're from
um because here you've got a slightly
northern accent uh but not quite as far
north as as uh as mickey i think so
i'm gonna say you're somewhere between
run corn and manchester
yeah yeah i'm i'm over well i'm in
south yorkshire
oh okay i'm a little bit off far from
manchester and stuff a little bit off
but yeah not far so south yorkshire
yeah go on mickey sorry i jumped on you
there
yeah no it's all right um when you live
in the uk that's the first thing you
want to know whereabouts are you from
it's the most important thing you know
we don't see many brits coming through
here so you know it's uh we've got to
know where you're from that's it and
just to put that into perspective to
everyone else that probably thinks we're
all crazy is when you know roughly
whereabouts someone's from not only can
the banter kick in because you've got
50 different things to say to them on a
banter level but also you probably know
50 percent more about that person just
from knowing whereabouts they live than
not knowing so in the uk with it being
so small you could probably fit it in
america like 55 times or whatever the
crazy number is um yeah it just helps
tell more more about an individual but
also it helps with the banter because
that's just how we roll in the uk but
sorry no definitely think that it's
awesome that you took it upon yourself
to you know create your own your own
project because i think that's been a
sad shame for a lot of people to get
stung enough times that you know you
end up wanting to just think i just want
the thing i'm trying to invest in so you
know the fact that i inspired you to
then build that yourself is a great
point for people to know that you're
in this space for the right reasons you
know yeah 100 and like i say i i really
didn't know what i was doing on the
founders perspective i knew how to
invest i've been around crypto a while
but taking the step into that that kind
of side of things i had no clue so i
learned a lot of homework uh the
internet and hopping in other discords
and chat to people that could help me
along the way um but the first roadmap
was there was no set goals of you're
going to earn this you're going to get
this because i couldn't promise it
because like i said i was starting off
from from scratch and i've never done
it before and so the goals was let's
try and mint out the collection let's
then build on that and look at what
what kind of roadmap we can build as a
community because at the end of the day
everyone's investing to get something
back and if they don't have a part in it
i kind of i don't really understand why
you're trying to suit the audience as
much as possible and if they get in on
the roadmap as such that you're going
to keep that community
so like i say it wasn't a roadmap that
was going to give you the world
and but it was a roadmap where we just
had constant progression and two years
later we're here now so i definitely
think it was a wise a wise move to get
the ball rolling
yeah definitely because you know nobody
knows what they're doing when they
first enter the industry and no one can
even hide the facts and i don't think it
takes anything away from anyone if
anything it's credibility to be honest
about it you know and you learn as you
go and if you're getting funds in your
ecosystem as you're building you know
you can make the improvements and you
know strengthen the infrastructure you
wasn't skilled at the time enough to uh
to build yourself so you know it is a
bit is a building process but also you
know people just want to be a part of
something but a part of something that
they can trust and enjoy and i think
that that means more than having the
best thing in the world to start off
with you know if people can see
potential in you and they like the vibe
of the community that they will happily
you know spend a few years growing with
you rather than seeing a complete end
product straight away so no i think
that i think that that's awesome to be
honest
yeah no it's perfect you said that
because that's going to bring me on to
the next step
to dive a little deeper into the
project that's all right with you and
i'll go in
yeah absolutely go for it don't worry
no no pressure we've got plenty
plenty of time
great stuff so yeah so like you said
people having their inputs and
whatnot it's got us to where we are so
we met at the og collection a year ago
like i said it we had no eyes we just
had a few
i would say around 500 community members
which is not bad
and obviously the standard we want to
be it's not that much so
the smaller collection size was
just uh obviously i didn't want to
bring out the thousands and we we
mint in for two years not that it's a
bad thing but
fresh projects and stuff like that it
can also give it a bit of a the
opposite effect that you want in the
thinking that's its first time it's
going on it's going on a long a long
time now we're not seeing anything
so we stuck with a smaller project and
we minted out in two months
and like i say it wasn't a lot of
sold but it gave me enough funds
because at this point i was just in my
own pocket everything was out my
back pocket from the irl job that i
worked
and so it was nice to regroup a
little bit and then i said right
here's where we are we've completed
every single step of the roadmap
we've got this amount
where what do we do next
and then we all got the idea as a
group community of just to carry on
the project and bring out something
just
new with utility
uh with the purpose of the nft
so that's when we came up with the
um and the v2 the ogs originally was
going to be a burnt mint pass that's
what i wanted to do so in fact the
invested in these to then get the v2s
for free so there's going to burn the
nft they've got
get the upgraded art and then the
utility that comes with it but
after the mint out the floor price
went up to about two 2.5 sold we was
trading daily and i was just i sat
back and i was like i don't want i
don't want people to burn these nfts
let's run them keep the project going
that's that's what started where we
are now so we've kept it going
um and those holders just get the v2s
for free regardless so they don't
have to burn the original they get to
keep it and all the utility comes
with it and then get the v2s
uh so for the v2s we i hired an
artist this time around we paid a
developer for the smart contract like
when when we call it an art upgrade i
like to call the whole project as an
upgrade everything just went up a
million times um so we minted that we
started the mint in october uh of last
year and that's a 5555 collection this
time we had a lot we've been building
for the year so the community grew
um the holders was growing we we had a
lot of big holders that and then
dwindled them out to a lot more people
so it helps us grow when people list i
don't see it as a bad thing it just
helps us expand and get new eyes and
other investors in there so we went for
a lot bigger collection size and in the
three months we've minted i don't know
the exact percent but it's over 70% so
we're just sat with less than the 2000
letter mint uh and i'm speechless that
honestly it's unbelievable the support and
the community that we've got over there
right now is is booming i think it's
just because we've kind of built
everything as a community so everyone's
on the same page there's not even any
questions asked in the discord i mean i
love questions and everything like
that but because everyone's grown with
us there's no questions needed um so
everyone knows where we're at um there's
no hidden secrets or anything like that
um but the utility is the big part of
the v2s because the art was okay i did
the art i'm not an artist but it was
all right but then i wanted to bring the
bring the people and the investors
something that they could just sit and
look at and be happy with i'm not saying
they don't with the ogs but this this
art upgrade you'll see if you see the
ogs in this collection is
it's on another level and so that alone
was was a big part of things bringing
better art to the investors just because
they deserve it anything they deserve
good art at the end of the day if the
utility didn't come they've got the
utility of the art
um so being the stone soft base obviously
this is why i was so happy for the space
and having you uk guys to understand
where we're at as a like a country and
stuff and for where we could be um it just
makes life a little bit easier when i'm
talking to you guys so this was always a
long-term project and a business plan for
like 10 years we know we're not we're
nowhere near legalization but we're
working towards it so this is a 10 year
it's a forever for me personally but
just to give a brief description it's a
10 year it's a 10 year project that
we're aiming for it's the long term um
and we want to be one of the first uh
uk companies on the cannabis scene when
it comes it's gonna come it's inevitable
but like i say a matter of time it is
just we don't know when um but then the
other aspect was i can't have people
coming here for 10 years just holding
their teeth to see what might come in 10
years so then we have to build utility
now and what that's led to is opening
our own official vape juice company
fully licensed in the uk and to sell
pretty much worldwide with who's
actually manufactured the product
um so we've actually now got an irl
business which is where we bring the
web two and the web threes together
which is something that needs to
happen for us to grow and i think it's
just it's the way forward yes we come
on spaces and we we talk to other web
three people but then we're not
exactly growing we're meeting new web
three people don't get me wrong but
we're not bringing a new audience
uh so with the the vape juice it was
so we set up a company and for the
vape juice purely because the the
marijuana scene and stuff it's a long
way off and we've set up a company over
in denver with a cannabis company over
in denver sorry that allow us to have
discounts and everything like that to
sell our own products and stuff so we've
actually managed to to hit the fan base
of the marijuana scene in america
already but obviously for you guys in
the uk that's why it's nice to talk to
you guys it doesn't benefit us we
can't order it we can't get it shipped
or anything like that so then it was
the task of right i've got that side
of the world kind of okay now we need
to focus on the uk and under the
umbrella that we are with the smoking
side of things what better way and what
bigger business in my opinion right
now in the uk than the vaping industry
and so i reached out to a company it is i
personally think it's the biggest in
the uk if you if you guys in the uk
think of like the top three i guarantee
it's within the top three that's
actually manufacturing our product
and it took a couple months don't get
me wrong and a couple of pivots and
they didn't reply to be honest with you
it was a long shot and then i got the
thumbs up one day and everything just
turned on its head i was like oh this
is for real and so now we've been
building we've been getting vape juice
the flavors and stuff we've been
testing them they've been creating
them and then so it's funnily enough
it's actually this monday we'll be
getting our very first batch of pretty
much the nailed flavors it's the last
taste just to make sure we're happy
and then mass order so within the month
we'll be having over like two and a
half thousand vape juice bottles
five different flavors
being delivered and the good thing
about that is it's a lot of balls to
sell to a web 3 industry
that don't obviously we've only got a
small community
but sorry but with having the web 2 side
of things obviously it's the biggest
aspect of smoke a lot of people are
vaping now in the uk and it was just
the route that we had to take so what
we did i went around the shops and
stuff and showed them the brand and
started reaching out to local shops
and wholesalers and we've managed to
sign about five different deals so as
soon as they land at my door i'll be
taking them they're going to be
distributed across the uk into actual
shops
and this is how we're going to be
bringing in the revenue streams so
the revenue streams are something
that we always wanted to do i'd been
promised it many times i never
achieved it and that's why i went
down the revenue stream because
that's what i've been let down on i
wanted to make sure
i know it was possible and i knew it
was possible but it takes a lot of
hard work
so we're doing the revenue streams
and that'll be coming after mint out
but the nice thing what we're doing
now what i like to think with the
products coming early we haven't
minted out
we can build up the revenue stream
we've already got a pot that the
money's already going into so when
the when the mint out comes it's
not something that people are going
to say right we've minted out
revenue streams are going to be six
months because you're not an
established business you're not
going to be making thousands
overnight
fair enough so that's why we're
doing it now so when we hit that
stage we are going to be ready
um i've got a post i mean if you
guys want to pop it up if i can it's
just a breakdown of the revenue
streams
uh just to give you a good idea of
how we're
yeah you can pin anything you want
to pin my friend you can pin 10 15
20 things if you want that's
totally fine
great stuff let me just see if i've
got it in
yeah that's not
don't go mad we don't we don't
want 20 things
yeah so there we go so it's just a
nice breakdown of revenues we went
on a basis it's easy to work from
10 000 pound profit is a lot don't
get me wrong and it's not something
that like i say we're aiming for in a
month or two months it's going to be
down six months down the line if not
a little longer but it just gives
people a nice round figure and an
example uh and it's the breakdown of
obviously the figures and everything
like that
so the og collection like i said we
wanted to keep it running uh that
was where the community started and
to see how far we've come now they
a bigger percentage of the revenue
streams so that's why obviously the
ogs are keeping the value and
everything like that and then we
also have special traits um which is
the weed jar trait they're also going
to get most of the percentage of the
revenue
um and then the rest gets dwindled out
between the collection and how we're
going to run the revenue streams it's
going to be 50 percent of all profits
we can't be dishing out everything
obviously we've got to sustain the
business we've got to reinvest so we
get our initial funds back from the
investment the profits we split 50 50
for more reinvestment and back to the
holders so it's just a nice figure
for people to see um and it's
something that we can do we know
we've got like i say we've got the
funds already in a pot building up now
which is nice uh but not only we've
got the vape juice coming we've
already actually got our own rolling
papers out for stores in the uk as
well so people that do smoke the
marijuana and stuff like i say it's
hard over here it's so low key and
stuff like that but there's loads of
shops and we've signed about we've
done a few more deals the vape juice
is about five so far but we've got
them in about i would say around 20
different stores are rolling papers so
like i say the revenue streams is
something that i wanted to promise i
wanted to fulfill but we're already
doing that before mint out so i'm i'm
super happy about that uh so that's
like the revenue side of things but
just i might be able to help you with
with the juice stuff um i know i know
a few juice people um and they're all
kind of connected um like they all
kind of know each other um but yeah
they're into all the vape juices and
all this sort of stuff um so i might
better help you a little bit uh maybe
meet some people you don't know about
amazing yeah if you don't mind i'll
dm you definitely like i say i'm
coming into something not blind but i
i don't know everything about it but
it's a start and like i say just
connecting and growing it's going to be
beneficial for sure and and getting
these shops to sign the deals to have
them in stores regardless of the web
three side of things however they sell
it's just nice to know that we've got
the backing from the web two people
and that's how i think we're going to
bring in the new eyes so on the bottles
and the packaging we've got our own qr
codes and the website and there's
nothing out there like it you'll see
the rolling papers on some of the
tweets and stuff when you're walking
to the shop and you look on the
counter it's so different and unique
because people aren't doing it i've
never seen nfts on the bottles or
anything like that um so
it's just going to attract them and
once they hit the website they're
going to see a nice broken down we're
going to get a broken down way of how
to get a phantom wallet how to get an
nft because what that's going to
allow the holders by holding the nft
is the discount on the vape juice so
hopefully people will see in the web
too oh i smoke this and i'm getting it
daily oh just by holding the nft i'll
be saving 10% each time just buying
through the website so that's just
going to entice the new people that
don't know about us just have the
daily smoke and just get them into
web 3 so that's a nice way we're
bridging the gap um for the vape
juice like i say they are going to be
nfts on the bottom we're going to
specify the flavors so what we think
well we've already designed it to be
fair so the first one is strawberry
lemonade and we're making a special
skin of like a strawberry lemonade for
the sloth just so it represents and
it's really on brand and then what
we're going to do after that because
once we're minted out we've got a
trait shop we've got hundreds of
traits lined up that are going to earn
extra on staking which i'll get into in
a little while um so once we get the
trait shop from running those skins
that are on the vape juice bottle will
be available to be purchased out of
the trait shop and then what that
allows the people to do for the
holders they upgrade and swap out the
skin trait they get that bottle of
juice flavor for free so there's so
many ways around getting the vape
juice and if you just want to buy the
vape juice and that's it and don't
bother with the skins it's their fear
at the end of the day if you're
buying the vape juice you're going to
be getting revenue shares back on the
vape juice so it's a win-win all
round um but to get into a stake in a
little bit we've got both of our
collections staking on the same
platform it's real smooth and we've
implemented the trait staking so we've
got we've got a few traits like you
can see on the psp there's the crown
then we've got drippy bodies like
they're all melting and and several
traits where people can earn added
extras so we have the sloth token and
there's no value to it um but it
stacks up real quick when you start
getting nfts with duplicate traits and
stuff like that that earn extra sloth
and the sloth token we're like we
have a sloth shop in the discord and
people can come in i know there's one
bloke in the audience now who comes in
weekly stakes his nfts claims his sloth
token hops into the sloth shop and he
actually buys a v2 nft so he's using
his tokens to purchase another nft which
is then going to give him revenue
shares back so it's a nice circle of
just constant progression um but that
token then will be implemented into the
discord where you will be able to come
in and use the token maybe twice a month
to buy the vape juice so just by a
stake in the nfts you're getting two
bottles of vape juice a month for free
uh but it's going to be sustainable
there's obviously it's a token that
has no value people are getting
discounts on the web 3 side of things
but obviously what we've got to
remember is we've got connections and
companies that have signed deals that
are just going to sell in their stores
in the web 2 so we've always got the
backing of the web 2 which we're
bringing into web 3 so in a nutshell i
mean that's that's everything about the
sloths um the progression over the
past two years is having this dream a
year ago before mincing out the first
collection to where we are right now
thinking in two years we're probably
going to have a very established
vape juice company it's a bit surreal so
i appreciate you getting me on and
having the time to listen any questions
firing over i'll be more than happy
yeah first of all congratulations and
all the success of everything because
what you know to start off of going
into something with you know a little
experience and being a founder to
then you know get these places lined up
ready for your for your vape juice and
definitely a future flavor for you and
you can have this one for free sloth
sauce but anyway that's one for the
back burner but i think it's brilliant
that you've managed to establish you
know a full circle of revenue but also
a way for web 2 and web 3 to connect and
you know you'll have the people that
won't even interact with the web 3 side
of it because it just won't care then
you'll also have people in web 3 that
will interact with the web 2 stuff
because it's web 3 orientated you know
because i think that's how this
industry sort of works isn't it you
know people that i've got just got the
passion for it like that you know like
people that are super passionate about
specific brands will engage in
different things they probably normally
wouldn't just because it's that brand
and they want to support it you know
like you get people who are on a top
of the range bmw car who will join
bmw groups to you know interact with
that type of um environment just
because the the more the more a part
of a part of it than than the normal
person so i think it's pretty
incredible how you've managed to
establish all of that just from
someone that got fed up of being
stung by the industry and now you've
decided to you know go at it yourself
and just work at adding value for
people so you know first place to you
for being that type of individual to
begin with you know it's an absolute
honor to showcase people like yourself
and uh you know proud of you mate for
whatever that's worth yeah i really
appreciate that man i mean i'm not the
only one that's been rugged and i don't
want anyone to think oh my god he's not
the only one it's not how it was it was
we've all been there and i wanted to
make a safe haven where people could
come in to a founders project that's
been in their shoes for several years
and not necessarily seen as a founder
just who just runs the discord um
because everyone has their input the
sloth vape the vape business all of
the flavors that we've gone for was in
the sloths and vape suggestions channel
the community made them so the
community getting what they're asking
for and that's what i really wanted to
do i'm all about giving back the
community that is literally all i ever
wanted to do so with the ogs what i'm
giving back the community is an nft
that's gonna bring you something some
value to the nft whether you have to
burn it to get an upgraded art piece or
like i say like we chose the route of
keeping the nft and bringing out a
whole new collection but it was never
anything too over promising and
something to disappoint anyone and i
think being able to do that and then
to see where we are today that's why
the community is so strong because
they never imagined this either so i'm
on i'm on a real super super good
journey with the community at the
moment and all we want to do is
expand that and just and just give
back to all you guys as well that
aren't in there and just try and grow
even more and like i say become a real
business that's how i see it at the
minute it's a business we've we've been
to all the banks we've got all the
self-employments we're fully
registered to sell the vape duty it's
not just something that it's took a
long long time so to have all the
boxes ticked off and just ready to
start selling it is something that i'm
super excited about and i can say the
community has been there daily
just knowing them on a personal level
they come in and chat and they ask
questions about the business and i'm
able to reply instead of oh just give
me a few more days and that was the
stuff that i was getting all the time
so to be transparent i'm in the
discord 24 7 i know i was hearing you
guys about the sleep it's that's why we
do it though we love it the sleep the
sleep can wait um but yeah no i
appreciate you getting me up and just
giving me the chance
yeah and that's incredible because
none of that would have existed if you
hadn't have done what you did and
yeah i don't think anyone thinks
anything negatively to be fair and
yeah many people have been stung and
the people just want to enjoy the
industry because they know the value
that it has and they know that it's
something that you can enjoy and it's
great that you know you've got a
great connection with the community
because you know that is that is
where the value is and where the
power comes from and you know that's
where we all grew from especially
whether whether people take it into
the levels of you have of you know
building something yourself but you
know we all start from a community
somewhere um but i just want to jump
over to rob from salty sharks because
he's got his hand up far away rob
thanks mate i just wanted to you know
give him a shout out like reese is it is
reese isn't it well i know it's sid as
well but yeah mickey's also
but um but yeah i just shout out to
you like what i absolutely loved
hearing about what you were saying is
is just the business oriented nature
of it you know the fact that you're
doing it as a business with long-term
goals you know five ten year plan
and beyond and you're setting it up as
a legitimate enterprise fully
registered like i had questions
throughout your your presentation if
you will i had questions and you kept
answering them i'm just like oh yeah
he just ticked that off no he just
ticked that off as well um you know and
in relation to you know how you're
managing your um your token as well i
think that is excellent and how you
approach that i mean with an eye on
obviously what's coming regulation wise
and and it's coming very soon for the
uk obviously um but yeah you just you
just had it really well nailed so been
down the same journey you've been on um
been just as frustrated as it sounds
like you were as well uh and make full
credits here you've you've built
something that i think is is
sustainable for the future and some
so super impressive thank you
yeah i when i get compliments i really
appreciate it but yeah it's hard to
take but now you'll see him in the
audience we know graham and grazer
every time we hop on a call we get
talking about salty sharks and stuff
so i hear a lot a lot about you and
for what you're doing and i have a
community member like grazer that but
he knows his stuff and he says it how
it is and i hear nothing but good
reviews about yourself rob so hats off
to you again i'm sending them all back
to you mate i appreciate the kind words
and that's what it is it's a
sustainability because that's just how
it all turns into a not a rug not
everything's a rug don't get me wrong
they try and they dwindle out but
looking at long term and
sustainability with an irl web 2
business is definitely the route to
take because web 3 we're still early
trying to do it just web 3 solely
you'll just start selling to the same
customers in the same eyes and then
they slowly get bored so coming into
the web 2 is it was um the only
option personally for me and the
vape juice funnily enough was never
even on the roadmap the v2 is
literally we had a few pinpoints and
that was it every time i hop in a
space i'll say oh we've another door
is opened we've got a connection over
in denver with the cannabis company
you get discounts for being a holder
with them we were going down the path
a little bit more building towards our
goals and then another door opening
is the vape juice and so we're just
taking every opportunity we get at
the moment uh and i think we've
taken the right ones and i think
they've put us on a nice path to
success definitely not just for me
for everyone if you vape you're
going to get them cheap you're going
to get revenue shares back if you
don't so which i try to really like
i say giving back to the community
is giving back to everyone not
everyone vapes not everyone smokes
weed not everyone is not everyone
does the same stuff so we've
pinpointed the discounts for that kind
of things we've discounted for the
vape juice if you don't vape and
you just hold the nfts every month
you're going to be seeing a little
bit of revenue stream back so i really
think we're doing well uh i wouldn't
be here without the community or you
guys hopping in the spaces and
listening and just showing the
support so yes i've managed to build
up good but without the community we
wouldn't be here so hats off to
everyone who's in the space you say
what you said there about roadmaps is
so spot on like you know roadmaps can
become blinkers that prevent you from
seeing opportunities whereas you know
you guys are you've got a framework
you know which is great you've got a
direction which is great but you're
open to those opportunities that come
along because you're not fixated on a
roadmap you know i think roadmaps
started in web 3 as a you know in my
opinion anyway i don't mean to be
cynical but i think they started as a
as a lure to try and suck people in and
get them to invest and show them a
bright shiny you know picture of the
future and a rosy outlook that is never
going to happen and it just it just
sucked money out of people sadly
whereas a proper roadmap should be like
a business plan you know it's it's an
evolving document it's a living
breathing document that you know has
got to be open to opportunities that
come up and you've done that you know
you've spotted those opportunities
you've jumped on them and you're making
them come to life which is amazing and
just on the grazer topic you know he's a
top bloke for sure and he's a great
supporter of you guys i know he talks to
me about you guys a lot as well and i
love hearing about what you guys are
doing uh he's a great guy um but like
everyone they've got a weakness they've
got an achilles heel they've got
something that obviously is is pretty
horrible about them and with grazer
it's got to be west ham hasn't it like
i mean seriously really west ham well i
wasn't going to take it there but now
you have i mean yeah wow and he's not
he's not a speaker so he can't defend
himself no that's it we can go a little
bit longer until they decide to bring
him up and then we might have to drop
out yeah then we'll run for the hills
yeah uh yeah like i mean seriously if
you get if you're in england and you're
not a tottenham supporter what the hell's
going on so anyway never mind i'll move
on i'll move on no but yeah i couldn't
agree more uh the roadmap and
unfortunately they did suck me into these
stupid roadmaps that on the the 6th of
april at 20 past three they're going to
release this and that and that's when
you start getting people where's this
where's that and it just happened
unfortunately so i didn't want that i
didn't want to go down the route of
that like i say i just wanted to do my
best and give back and to where we are
now the progression to in two years
it's i can't really actually picture
where we could be in two years because
um yeah it'll just get me too excited
yeah and that's it um just to jump in
real quick that once once your horizon
has been broadened so much um i mean
just to put it into perspective you know
that the only topman hotspurs supporter
lives at the other end of the world you
know that should put that into
perspective so that's that ends that
discussion sorry but you know like
you've achieved although you had every
hope in you to achieve what you're
aiming to achieve when it actually
happens and things start to feel real
and you realize hold on i can do this
plus more and you're getting the right
people around you and you're getting
the support and then start getting the
eyes you know and i think that's what
the real roadmap is is the people that
are behind what's taking place and if
anyone is to see what your project is
if they were to see your track record
and see where you came from and what
you've been doing all this time there
is no better roadmap than that because
that helps people see you know who you're
trying to associate with what you're
trying to accomplish you know what
you've done how you conduct yourself
so i i always look to um personally the
people that are doing the project rather
than what the roadmaps say anyway so i
think you were right as well on that rob
that you know it was a it was a
luring tool i mean i know that some
people didn't may not not everyone
only used it for that purpose some
people just wanted you to see sure look
this is what we're we're trying to do
and here it is and also a schedule for
them to work to you know it was probably
taken advantage of by the best part of
people that took advantage of people
wanting to invest in a brighter future
because you know we're all here for
multiple reasons but making money is
definitely one of them it's an
opportunity of a lifetime you know we're
in the biggest innovation since the
internet and it's giving everyday
people with a passion a good heart and
the right intentions an opportunity to
really do something with that and that
doesn't very often they happen um but
yeah no dive in there uh reese
yeah no it was that point like you said
everyone that we're all here for at the
end of the day the money side of
aspects but it's not just that it's
growing and bringing more eyes into it
just so we can have a better ecosystem
but like you said with we was that was
another goal i wanted to allocate yes
giving back to every community member
is key but also you get community to
members that are divided into and this
is coming from an educational man that
told me this he's in the space uh you've
got to look at the people that are in
there for a quick flip we've had people
making thousands of thousands of
dollars on our nfts literally just by
flipping them is amazing they're getting
looked after the people that are coming
in for the long term and they see the
revenue streams and the goals they're
sweeping them up but just wanting the
quick so we've really got a sustainable
uh a sustainable project within the web
three and then within the irl side of
things so yeah with the realization like
you said with even just the rolling
papers i've just pinned them up that's
the last pin i won't be making it 20
but they're the papers that come and
then when they arrived at the door and
i had to try them and then you just
sat there i'm thinking this has just
come from two years of hard building and
yes it's just rolling papers but the
satisfaction i got let alone the high
just it was another high just by
sitting and then we distributed them to
the shops and then it all um kept
um progressing from there but yeah no
100% like you say when you really see
things coming to life it makes all those
sleepless nights and hard work 100% worth
it yeah absolutely and it's um it's like
you said you know it is a tough one for
for you to have the project you have when
it's you know it's not the act some of
the things that your youth that you've
created you know isn't as friendly in
the uk yet for legal purposes as it is in
other parts of the world which you know
it is funny because i see nothing wrong
with it at all you know i grew up around
it i utilize it myself at one point i
don't anymore but i don't see anything
wrong with it because people's
perspective of it is only based off
whether they're told it's okay or not
because if they were told it was okay
no one would bat an eyelid so it is a
perspective based thing in my opinion um
and for the most part people utilize it
for the right reasons you know but i think
sugar is much more dangerous you know
i've seen that kill millions of people
and damage my children and affect them
in real time you know i give my kids
children and i've got a war on my hands
you know i've got so yeah i think that
it's very perspective based and i think
hopefully in the future as things change
and sort of rules and regulations and
laws hopefully that will work in your
favor too so that'd be something else
the recourse system to uh to look forward
to as well yeah and that's the thing
100 and like i say we couldn't wait i'm
saying 10 years it could be even 20 we
can't put a date on it we don't have a
clue and like i say you can't keep
this community for 20 years with with
no utility at all just holding and
waiting for that day and so that's when
like i say we we chose different routes
and we brought utility for everyone
and that's why obviously with being the
brand name that we are that's why the
first thing that i did was reach out to
a few companies we got a connection over
in denver and so we've got a full
collaboration that creating our own
product and people in on that side of
things or even worldwide where it is
legal because they're fully licensed to
ship worldwide in legal states we've
managed to already half fulfill our goal
of being in the cannabis industry
already so building up a brand within
the vape juice company and just web3 in
general when the time comes it's not
going to be oh who are these new guys
on the scene it's going to be oh those
are the guys that have been building
for however 10 years with the vape juice
and the rolling paper and just stuff like
that so i think when the time comes we'll
be fully established and ready to hit it
pretty hard
absolutely and you know you've got to
remember you start from nothing you
know you're building from the ground
up you know and this is just part of
the process you know looking back at
this in five years time it's going to
be absolutely insane i mean i can i got
goosebumps when he told me about just
sitting there with the skins and that
feeling of you know this this has come
from two years of hard work to someone
else that's just a piece of paper and
they probably don't even know how to use
it but to you that's years of as hard
work and no sleep and networking and
phone calls at crazy hours and you
know sitting on spaces at all hours of
the night you know and i'll let you
dive in there because i know it's
relevant to what i'm saying but
that was exactly when literally i was
talking to people and was like it's
just a piece of paper that's just
going to burn and i was like no you're
not even seeing what you don't
understand yes it's a piece of paper
but like i said it's been two years of
building it and you're not coming to
me for this these rolling papers
you're going to go in for your bread
and your milk and you're going to be
picking them up out of your local
stores and and then when they hear
that they're like oh shit i kind of
understand a bit more now but like
you said there's people that don't
understand it's a bit of paper but
for me it's it's just giving me a
whole nother lease of life and like a
lot of people i have to work six days
a week and doing my normal i love my
job been at the job for 10 years but
it's not what i want to do i want to be
working for myself and i want to build
something that i've built with a group
of not group people a massive amount of
people and just take it to another
level and so yeah it's tough but
100% worth it when you start seeing
the results it just just makes you
work a bit harder definitely and you
know when you're around the right
people it helps strengthen that and i
started to you know thankfully for i'm
so fortunate with the people i'm
surrounded by it's game changing and
life changing but also it helped me put
a lot of things into perspective you
know and people you care about when
they don't see value in what you're
doing it really sucks the life out of
you but i started to add the same value
they added on what i was passionate
about i added to their opinion so they if
they saw what i was doing is worthless
and so was their opinion of it and the
people that value what it is that
you're doing you know the opinion has
more value because it it works in your
favor but it's also learning to have
the perspective of have learning how
every single situation is to work in
your favor even things that affect you
negatively because you know you became
a guy that disliked nfts to a bit you
know a businessman a successful businessman
because success isn't dictated by money
you know money is a result of success it
isn't what success is it's just
something that comes off of it and what
you're doing right now is you've got
direction and i think for a man and
obviously a woman too but just speaking
as a man you know to have direction is
a huge success because you're not just
stagnant you're not just going nowhere
you know you're at the beginning of a
journey that could last decades and
change the life of your friend your
friend your friends your family their
friends their family you're building an
empire so to you you see the vision
and you feel it and you know where you
could possibly go with it and it's all
of that is invisible to people sat right
next to you at home and that is the
most surreal bizarre thing that i had to
try and come to terms with myself that we
all help each other with so you know even
though i'm not directly affecting you or
what you're building my my appreciation and
understanding of it helps add value to
it rather than take any value away from
it hopefully yeah no everything you just
said is perfect literally i i try and
explain it and stuff to my parents and
they just see straight through me and
they just said that i'm stupid and i'm
getting like like you mentioned three
four hours sleep and they just don't
understand and then like i say two
years down the line i show them and
they're like they kind of get it but
like you say they're more thinking
wow he's succeeding they don't
understand how but and but i'm trying
to persuade them into it and get them to
see how it can work but i've got a kid
myself and i've got a fiancee and stuff
so like you say it's putting the hard
work into payoff and then when you see
it pay off it's it's not just for me
it's for the family and then for the
community we have a we call it a family
we're in the stone sloth fam everyone in
the discord comes in and that's how it
is um it's just great to see and like i
say hopping on this space with new new
faces and connecting to a lot more uk
guys has just made my night 100% i'm
just so glad we got connected and trey
a big shout out to you i know you hit me
up all the time bro and and let me
know to hop in the spaces and like i say
time is is tough to juggle but tonight's
just a start and i'm going to hop in
these spaces a lot lot more often you
guys not even as just to speak just to
listen in just like i say i was
listening to the one yesterday and we
got talking about crossing the bridge
for web 2 and stuff and that's why i was
so excited to come in tonight and talk
to you guys of our plans so appreciate
it everyone in the space thank you yeah
thank you and always massive shout out
to trey he's an absolute legend um you
know we're lucky to have him on the
core team and he's connected to us with
some absolutely iconic projects and uh
you know he's one of those guys how does
he find them how does he find all these
legends he wins everything in discord
and finds all the best projects like if
this man isn't you know i wouldn't
recommend the lottery to anyone but this
man either needs to create his own
lottery and just play it himself or
definitely be put the numbers on maybe
it's the it's the motivation of never
winning the lottery that motivates him to
win everything else without shamelessly
there's absolutely dominates everything
he's the king
no he's spoken about he's spoken about in
dark corners you know people often
whisper the name trey and uh yeah it's
it's he goes around
yeah 100% it's like i hate that i love
this guy sometimes no just kidding but
yeah but this is it though it's all of
this that comes together and and and
motivates us just comes from good people
finding good people and there's no greater
fuel than that and you know i know that
when it gets down to the business you
know feelings have to be taken out and
that's another thing that i've you know
been learning in web 3 i'm a very
feeling orientated person um but to you
know you've got to learn when to factor
them in and when to take them out you
know that's another thing that you know
business teacher and just invest them in
general you know trying to take out the
emotional side of it and it's almost the
same with the people in your in your
immediate life is you know you can't
blame people for not understanding when
we all was taught the same as them but
them even more so you know that you know
we don't get taught about building value in
ourselves at school or to you know build
your own career when you think about money
and business and you think the easiest way
to teach a young person would be to teach
them how to brand themselves and and have
them looking inward because that would help
them learn you know if i'm building a
business for myself and my family you
know you're going to want to take math a
little more serious and english and it
would it would help people learn easy i
think you can't do that yeah yeah we
can't you've heard you've heard of um
you've heard of secret handshakes um
well trey has a secret handshake that
includes a wallet connect feature that's
how well known he is
yeah that's hilarious i can actually
believe that as well you're probably not
even joking but yeah no it's just like
you know trey being the guy he is and
being as supportive as he is has brought
so many people together and you guys you
know wanting to even when being wronged
wanting to have the motivation to build
something that prevents people from being
wronged and does the opposite is amazing
because you know unfortunate events
trigger two outcomes don't they either
people are going to go on the war path
and go for revenge or they're going to
want to create the thing that they're you
know they didn't get the first time
around and you know it's definitely to
be to be you know commended you know
yeah fire away race yeah a hundred
percent and don't get me wrong with two
years is it is like i say it's it's
amazing where we're at now and it sounds
brilliant but those every single day for
the past two years is the amount of
walls we've had to knock down and face
and some disappointing replies from
companies and stuff and then when some
things don't go your way you just feel
like just taking a step back and then
but the next thing i do is i hop on a
call with the he's not not even the
co-founder but we've been building for
a year now and i've got him in as a
mod and then he's slowly just more of
just a an everyday mutual friend and
then when we get to business we really
get down to business i give him a chat
we have an hour of talking having a
laugh and then we're like right let's
get back to business this is what we're
building so he i just call him the
co-founder he's not monies and he gets
paid blah blah blah but he's just a real
good friend that i've met through the
space and then when we come to
business we get to business like i say
we get the knockbacks and then we hop
on a call and we figure it out and
carry on moving the people that say
it's not going to happen and blah blah
blah just forget about those guys so
what you've said is couldn't even yeah
perfect couldn't couldn't put any more
to it
yeah no thanks bro and and that's it
you know it's those relationships
because you know you and it's great
that you've that you've taken this path
in your life because you've realized
that you have a value and your your
value is creating value in other
people and what you're building is you
know creating opportunities for the
people and it's the whole process is
this epic and it's a shame it isn't
taught in the right places but i know
that we can take it upon ourselves to
change that and that's the whole point
behind the community communities i was
trying to talk to that a little bit to
help people get a better understanding
of you know who we are and what we're
trying to accomplish you know we're
trying to bring people together and
highlight that very value and help you
find other people who share that same
value to give everyone the opportunity
to have more relationships like that
and you know we've all got that mutual
understanding and respect for each
other for trying to build what we're
building and that you know we don't
have to compete each other for where
we're at you know not i can guarantee
no two people in this space or any
space have to fight anyone else to get
to where they got to you know and if
they did it was definitely around the
wrong people so it's great that we can
all just celebrate our wins together and
we can support each other's events and
each other's content and and really
highlight what web 3 can really be
about and it's the a privilege to be
around people that see value in
themselves and that we can learn to
see value in other people as well and
really highlight that so you know we
appreciate people who come to the
spaces you know this is one of many
different things that we do you know
we even have our own project which i
try and touch on as oftenly as
possible because you know everything we
do we don't benefit from on a
financial standpoint and this project
is the first thing we've built
together to try and change that
because we want to be in this
industry full-time we want to try and
do this all the time not just some of
the time you know and this project
was the concept was put together by
mike smart who was just on the space
before under the meta builders account
because he's built a full web 3
service providing ecosystem called
meta builders meta builders in the
community communities it's the same
same thing and our project is an nft book
which is going to be a physical book
but it's a digital book as well and the
point behind the project is to it's a
community collaborative project and
it's an ever an ever evolving project
as well so there's going to be a
physical book a digital book and there's
going to be a series of 10 books this
book's the first series of the 10 once
we've done all 10 series then we're
going to look at trying to you know
mold it into like games and cartoons
and that type of thing it's also
integrated with a hangry animals
ecosystem which they're building the
hangry verse which is going to be an
awful world rpg game which is
absolutely epic if you've not heard
about it already i'm sure you will be
doing soon and the founder of that
project is helping us build the book
and anyone who purchased a page in our
book also gets one of the hangry
animal check passes which is basically
a membership pass you get a 3d avatar
which you have ip ownership of so you
will have a hangry animal avatar which
you can use in multiple virtual
environments the pass itself is packed
with utility because hangry animals are
community and utility mad so we're
super excited about that our pages for
our book is just 150 polygon sorry 150
polygon matic it's going to go up in
value per book but that's the value of
this book and we're going to just to
help it make sense to projects that are
listening in your nft character will
basically be playing a role in a story
that we're telling so you can purchase
your own page once one side will have
the artwork and then the other side
will have the storyline on it and we
want to showcase web 3 and we want to
try and help create because we're the
community communities we want to help
try and have multiple projects work on
one thing that uplifts everybody so that
if you know for example right now we've
got i think it's 30 projects that have
got into our book so far so you know when
we put this together and we go to
showcase this to the world 30 projects
are all going to talk about one thing
that involves all of us and really
shows the true value of web 3 the true
value of collaboration the fact that
collaboration is king and not only we're
not fighting each other for the top we
are uplifting each other to the top and
it's something that's never been seen
before so if anyone wants to get
involved or learn more about it we're
effectively utilizing our network to
help make this possible we've been
super fortunate in the years that we've
been in the industry to meet some
absolutely iconic people that we are
working with and are going to utilize to
help bring the most value of this
possible because the point of this is
is to help projects get maximum
exposure for as little barrier to entry
as possible our website is community
of communities dot world the link for
that is in my bio but anyone can reach
out to anyone that's got a plus in the
name and they'll point in the right
direction and that just quickly leads
me on to the next point of one of the
things that we do we have a plus next
to our name if you've not seen that
already that is part of our movement
which is we have a hashtag for it
which is hashtag add the plus and the
point of that is is that we're trying
to spread positivity we want to show
the positive side of the web through
industry but we also believe that
everyone has adds value regardless of
their skill set and we also are
advocates for mental health and it's
our way of showcasing and supporting
each other without sacrificing our name
or profile pitches so that when people
see that plus they know that they're a
part of the community communities and
that we're trying to advocate for all
of the good sides of the industry and
trying to uplift all the people that
are just trying to add value and help
other people add value as well so I
appreciate you letting me get that
that little spiel out but we do
appreciate any support that we get
either on social media or by partnering
with us on our book projects and being a
part of the 30 projects that are working
with us to create history
see if anyone has any questions on that
or anything that just said you're
welcome to ask now or at any time or
you know you can anyone can check out
the website as well
you missed one little thing and it was
the check pass also gets you a hungry
animal
yes that is correct so the check pass as
well
so the pass itself if anyone wanted to
just get the pass itself you can also
do that which for some reason I don't
know what the founder was thinking but
he's only valued at $25 so you can get
a check pass for $25 and you can also
convert it to an actual hangy animal
when they launch and I think they're
launching it between $50 and $55 which
is absolutely epic but well well pointed
out there bacon but yeah when you see
that when you see the ecosystem that
that's a part of it will blow your mind
it's epic it's one of those that you
know just like us when we meet each
other and you think you know wow another
another person that's you know adding
value that's you know this guy's got a
quarter of a century of experience in
the animation industry is a phenomenal
individual he's been building this
project for years
so yeah super excited about that part of
it as well nice from bacon but yeah
sorry Bella you had your hand up hello
how are you and thank you for joining
hey guys you know I'm good I'm I'm always
blessed another great space I am so
fortunate that I'm with salty sharks
stone sloth and you know we love this
community just just know we're always
here in the back end supporting no
matter how just adopt the plus because
it's positivity we all need positivity
right so if that made sense I don't
know and and get yourself a one for if
you don't get yourself a voodoo doll
you're crazy seriously they're awesome
they're epic if you don't have one get
three
yeah I love the artwork the artwork for
something that I really enjoy because
it's it's so different and it's kind of
it's really unique and it's this this is
a touch
absolutely and Bella as always thank
you and I know that you nearly said it
but didn't but one day you will is that
you know you're a part of community
communities too you rock that plus you
are a positive person you add value
everywhere you go you and your family
are phenomenal and for anyone that
doesn't know Bella and Gunna are they
have their own project as well with
Hound 4 called Hound 4 I can't remember
her son's name do forgive me but they are a
family in web 3 imagine imagine your
whole household having their own
project joining spaces building the
artwork making the games you know they
do that and they are incredible people
who just care about all the great
people in web 3 and they express it as
you just heard now and you'll hear
every space we do and when Bella says
it's been a great space it's been a
great space so I'll take that
definitely so thank you for your kind
words Bella you are amazing
we love you Bella thank you guys really
you know all right Gunner said love
you guys he's cooking dinner in the
kitchen love you gonna they love you
too babe I love him more if he's got a
player on the side for me
yes to borrow from Bacon's earlier
analogy Bella's been out hunting and
gathering
clubbed Gunner over the head dragged him
back
put him in the kitchen make me dinner go
but yeah I told him you better get on
or I'm stealing your wallet you know
she's getting angry get angry
yeah Gunner's a legend but I can just
imagine Gunner's gone out and done the
hunting and he's come back and Bella's
gone if you think about clubbing me
with that you're gonna be just as
unconscious as the animal so he's just
took a slight detour and gone straight
to the kitchen because he wants to
live another day
exactly he's not dumb he's not stupid
he's doing it all right
Gunner's a legend Gunner's a legend
yeah a family of legends I love it
but that's what this is about and you
know it's great that this happens
every single week you know we
appreciate all you guys the time and
energy and effort you know because
this doesn't come for free you know
what I mean although no money's been
spent from everyone being here the
amount of time people spent and
effort and energy and you know
everyone's here because they're
always trying to improve themselves
everyone's learning every day
building every day networking and
even when we're just chilling in
spaces like this you know for the
most part people are still doing
stuff in the back end you know
interacting with you know we've all
got hundreds if not thousands of
notifications every day and yeah
it's a shame that the people in our
near lives don't see the value just
yet but they will do one day but we
also can't fault them for it because
you know they've not seen the two
years that you've seen they've only
seen it from their perspective and I
know I say soppy stuff every space
but you know I think it's important
that our perspective of us and other
people's perspective of us are two
completely different people and that
counts for every different person in
your life so if we can be more
understanding of the the lack of
understanding then we will be able
to cope with that much better
because you know we know that people
love us and they love us the best
way they know how to and they can
only guide you on the life that
they've lived and how they think it
best suits us so sometimes people
don't know what's best for us
sometimes we don't know what's best
for us we can only do the best of
our ability to the best of our
ability and hope that it works out
for the best especially when you've
got the right intentions in your
heart so just believe in yourself
do the best you can and at the end
of the day we can't please everyone
and we're going to get it wrong and
if you don't take that risk you know
you can play it safe and the same
risks apply you can be in a safe job
and be fired the business can go under
you know it's no different you put in
all of your hope in the hands of
someone else the difference with this
is you're putting the hope in the
hands of yourself which we all trust
ourselves more than anyone else
anyway so I'm so proud of everyone
that takes that leap of faith which I
don't see even see it's faith just
that self-belief because you deserve
to succeed you deserve to take walk
that walk and one day you will be
able to talk about the fact that you
did that you you believed in yourself
you built what you built and you help
all the people that you would have
helped at that point along the way so
keep doing it stay motivated and if
the motivation is failing you stay
disciplined because then you can do it
regardless of how you feel and the
end result will be just as equally as
satisfying so yeah I am proud of
everyone that was your best speech ever
best ever best uh best monologue best
monologue
thank you sir I appreciate that and the
award for best monologue goes to sid the
sloth
no not me that nearly got me that nearly
set me off bro jeez
no but you spot on everything this is
probably one of the most uh enjoyable
spaces I've been in for a long time
talking to just genuine people I do
hop in a lot of spaces and connecting
but you see it's just got a different
vibe so getting on it tonight is uh yeah
it's set up another like I say we have
a path and it's opened up another door
and another another set of people to
connect with so I appreciate it
so Sid
adopt the plus
which Sid are you talking to
I want to connect with him definitely
I mean I've just had someone else who I
know you mentioned on the team hit me
up in a dm about something that he's
actually been in an industry for a long
long time and
it all it takes is just one little
one little message back and forth and
then uh the world opens up so yeah I'm
going to be in for sure
um reese like any chance you guys
would be interested in joining us for
a cross community uh atlantean sub
race tournament
always open to anything just growing
having fun
the space that's good when you mention
long term you've got to keep it fun
and enjoyable we do rumbles we do the
cross collabs and stuff so 100% rob hit
me up and we'll get it going
let's chat mate love to have you part
let's go that's what it's about
well you know thank you for the kind
words everyone and yeah this is
awesome and as long as we have each
other you know we're going to be just
fine and we'll get through those
rocky days we got this
100% and uh yeah I'm super excited to
see where everyone is in in two years
from now um you know it's it's insane
to think we're where we're at now you
know imagine where we're going to be in
two years time you know we've got a
ball run in the mist if it follows the
same cycles that it has you know there's
so many positives to look forward to
and if communities keep building like
this you know the market cycles will be
irrelevant because I think the amount
of enjoyable and most profound
connections get made during the bear
markets anyway so it's great to know
that this is what takes place in the
bear market then we can enjoy the ball
run and the next bear market will be
even more enjoyable because if we've
played it right we'll have some funds
to play with in the meantime and we can
you know be more effective in in the
in the building stages of the next
cycle so yes I think really exciting
times ahead um we are coming towards
the end of our space like I said you
know normally we we conduct it with two
guests we give them up to an hour each
um I'm glad that you had a great
experience um Reece aka old Sid and new
Sid your old Sid we'll just run with
that um and yeah because that's all
that's all we're trying to do is we're
just trying to help give people the
opportunity to showcase who they are and
what they're doing and you did a great
job of representing yourself we say
this every space you know public
speaking isn't something we're born
with it's a very difficult thing to do
it's hard to you know talk about
yourself or what you're building
knowing people are listening you know
it's very difficult thing to do and
you did a phenomenal job and you know
I'm glad we met again thanks to Trey
for bringing more people together but
fire away there Reece yeah no thank you
Brian I mean it is tough when you're
hopping spaces and you see the same
faces in there and then you give them
the spiel and you're thinking it's
been like two days since I've hopped
on a space and there's no alpha yes
we're building every day but there's
just nothing ready a lot of the
community member know when there's
something ready I'll only say it when
it's actually nailed there's nothing
set in stone until I've actually got
confirmation or the product or so to
come in and see different faces is
that's what I meant the space is it's
so different to what I'm used to and
then it just makes it easier to talk
to because yes I know the project off
by heart but it's going to new ears
and so when you're sat in front of the
audience you speak to daily it gets
tough and it's just yeah it's made
this space a lot easier and
enjoyable and I'll be back for sure
yeah no that's awesome but yeah no I
totally get that definitely in it is a
tough one because you know it's an
ever-evolving thing and people are
always you know everyone's always
excited to see the next stages but you
know you when you when you're
fortunate enough and it's not even
fortunate because it requires effort
but you know when you've got a great
community and they're
understanding and they're in it for a
long haul you know then you know the
fun I think that is where the fun
becomes even more important especially
you know when you've got people that
believe in you and are willing to wait
for the things to be accomplished that
you can just enjoy that time with them
in the meantime you know because
that's the beauty of this space is that
not only are you building with people
but whilst you're not building you can
enjoy getting to know people more
because we all know when you sit next
to someone you vibe with you can talk
them talk to them for hours and and it
feel like nothing and it's like you
Reese with the guy you're working
with you know two years in web 3 is
like it's like 20 years with how much
time and effort and energy goes and it
feels like 20 years and the amount that
you're learning all the time and the
amount of people that you're meeting
along the way you know you can go in
one space and have connected with more
people in that one day than you've
probably seen in a week in your real
life so it definitely moves at a
different pace and it's definitely a
completely different vibe from start
to finish but thankfully there's so
many good people in web 3 that are
coming together that it's become a
very enjoyable experience even a tough
part so yeah no thank you so much and
we'll quickly go around the room and
get everyone's closing remarks and
then we'll bring this epic space to an
end which it's been epic thanks to
everyone that's been in it so yeah
Tony Crypto Tour if there's anything
you'd like to add my friend
what an amazing space great to hear
you Rhys another Brit amazing love your
project but I just wanted to ask your
skins are they only in the UK or are they
elsewhere no so at the minute they're in
the UK for the stores for retail and the
guy that's one of the rooms a store he
has a wholesaler so it's going it's going
all the way across the UK in the stores
we'll get it out in the US and
worldwide soon but you can just
purchase it from our website so I can
ship worldwide so there's no
regulations on where it can go just
where it's at at the minute so it's in
the stores in the UK definitely going to
branch out 100% but it can be shipped
worldwide regardless so just hop in the
discord or in there on the website and
purchase it that way amazing love what
you do keep doing it
let's go nice one Tony also over to
Tony too aka Bacon
yeah I think we need a new closing
statement because last month's one was
a heavy hitter but I think we need a new
one Rev I'm sure you can think of one on
the spot
yeah absolutely I'll pull one out of the
back pocket for sure yeah that one for
this month's definitely been one of my
favourites though so I might throw that
one into just so that Rhys has got it in
his arsenal
yeah that's what I say
was it the one from last night
yeah it's the one from every night for
the last two months
I mean one more time won't hurt right
yeah I'm a motivational quote for the
month for the day say it every day for
two months solid
just getting it just getting it hard
wide into the brain that's all but
yeah no I've got one
I've got one created that I actually
wrote myself back from my poetic days
I'll throw that one in there
but yeah if you want to if you anything
you'd like to finish on the old said
you're welcome to do so
no no just appreciate you getting me up
there I mean it's been a pleasure to
speak to you and definitely like I say
it's made things easier because when
you're speaking to UK people and they
understand the industry and they can
connect with that just that little bit
more people they understand it's not
legal but they don't understand where
we're kind of at and then the people
get the better perspective about the
vape juice industry so over in America
the line it might be our vape juice is
probably not as good as it is over here
if that makes sense it's much it's such a
big market over here yes it's a big
market over there but they've got the
cannabis and stuff like that so it kind
of opens that aspect up a little bit
but it's nice to connect with you guys so
you can see where where we're heading
into a business and understand the
possibilities no absolutely it makes
perfect sense you know I mean you're
always going to get the people like
what that plant that grows naturally in
the ground with a multitude of benefits
how dare you but yeah you're always
going to get that side of it but yeah
no definitely and it's glad to connect
with people from from the UK that was
a really good that was a really good
impression I might throw that one in
more often but yeah no definitely and
you know I'm definitely glad we're
connected and I'm looking forward to
seeing these these these web two things
being brought into the stores and you
know seeing seeing how you showcase
that to the community as well you know
I personally love making content and
I'm going to try and allocate more time
to doing so because I like making
content about great projects that are
doing great things and there's
definitely too many to make content
about but I am on the process of
trying to make content for different
projects that I come across to help
showcase the the great sides of the
industry for sure so hopefully I can
you know show some stuff in real time
that'd be awesome yeah no nice one we
appreciate you joining us tonight but
yeah we'll move over to you Rob if you
want to have any closing remarks sir
no no you've said it all mate I can't
beat your amazing monologues bring me to
tears every time but no I just
appreciate being here with this group
of people appreciate being part of the
community of communities great
opportunity to sort of meet and hear
from Stone Sloss again I've heard from
them a couple of times but it's always
good to hear from them and you know
just yeah I love the way that everyone's
focused on you know building businesses
building brands and making long-term
plans for the betterment of this of this
market and this industry so it's been a
hell of a journey and I'm glad to be part
of it haven't always had that high level
of motivation that that we all have right
now we all have our ups and downs but you
know it we've gotten to this point and
we've lasted this long we've survived this
long and I think that it's only going to get
better and stronger and while this space
was was happening we've also finalized the
letter of agreement contract with the
educator who's coming on board with that
metaverse basis that's gone off of them as
well so it's also been productive on that
front as well so very exciting times at
the moment and I'm super super glad to be
part of it with this great community as
well thank you
yeah well said Robin and as always thank
you for your kind words my friend you know
for a Tottenham fan you're all right

you've got the round it's time to hear
the story
start a movement taking over taking back
It's the community, the communities in the West, create a chance to space, connect and mind to creating a whole new pace.
You revolutionize it, everything in all the rules.
You're in bridge, break and change.
You don't want to choose.
You're in power, all the pure and more of your control.
And together we rise and we're taking back our soul.
Everybody from this TVO community, let it go.
We're watching this video now.
We won't talk to you.
We won't talk to you.
We won't talk to you.
We won't talk to you.
And together we move the name of our soul.
What's Christmas in the West, retail?
Plus, sunshine and bright snow gently falling down.
A community, a community gathered with glee in the meta built world where dreams roam free.
The symbols of plus, uniting hearts and minds.
In the crypto winter warmth, it always finds.
Metabuild is on board, crafting dreams so bold
Web3 magic, more valuable than gold
NFC carol sing, blockchain bell time
In the community of communities, it's holiday time
NFC gets wrapped in code under the digital tree
In the Web3 wonderland, where our hearts are free
Building dreams together, like a festive rhyme
Plus signs in the air, it's a Web3 paradigm
In the spirit of giving, where the plus sign gleams
A partnership with Metabuild is building Web3 dreams
Community aggregator in the NFT space
Hip-hop Christmas vibes in the digital embrace
Let's go, that's VI underscore NFT, great music
And the quote for tonight, which is different to the one last night
Is, keep your face always towards the sunshine
And shadows will always fall behind you
So keep looking to that light and keep building everyone
You've been amazing
And if you've got the plus, you're one of us
Catch you next time
Thank you
