I'm going to go to the next video.
I'm going to go to the next video. I'm going to go to the next video. way back god gotta love it when that shit happens man and like all the time nowadays
yeah i i don't know if it was it doing it the entire space or what did it start at a certain
point i wonder and i wonder if the recording's okay i'm gonna go listen to the recording after
and see if that comes back okay yeah we touched on some good stuff man i i really hope it is
uh worst case scenario i think the people that are on stage that were, I may, when I pull my archive, I should be able to also pull, if it sounds good, I can just send it to you guys.
Okay, sounds good.
Worst case scenario, but I'm hoping that was just like a partial issue.
Because I saw a lot of people spamming emotes, like according to what was going on early, but I did notice things a little bit later.
So maybe that's what was going on uh early but i did notice things a little bit later so maybe that's what was going on so i think we were okay for for the earlier part and then it started happening later okay
cool um i'm gonna pass it right over to you actually if you want to dive the second part
take two into uh the ta section of things yeah you know, we just got to give everyone a little pee break,
a little joint break.
It's all right.
Everyone takes a little,
just grabs a little snacky.
Did you get my big man and stoner song
that I made for you guys?
Dude, so I saw it while I was in the space
and I didn't want to leave the space to listen to it,
but I'm going to listen to it as soon as it's done.
Oh, dude, it's dope.
It's fuego.
It's pretty dope.
I was like, hey, I think they'll like it.
Maybe they can use it for their spaces.
Of course I did.
God damn it.
Sorry, you.
No, you're good.
I'm going to put my headphones on after I talk,
and I'll listen to all the spaces going on,
because now I have FOMO that I haven't heard it.
It's just like a jam.
I've been writing songs all day, man.
I wrote another Dragon Punks one. I wrote a wrote a green pill collective song which i'll jam at the
end of this day um sucks because the prompt wouldn't let me write every single project in
it which is annoying so i i'm gonna have to do another one somehow somehow i'll figure it out
but i'm getting all right with the the you know i mean it's pretty easy to use not rocket
science but there is like a there is the art about writing ai songs you know
um dude 100 there's there's a you you have to really well i mean rick teaches it right where
rick is teaching people that about how uh ai prompting and using it properly is actually way more beneficial.
And there's so much more tools and utility to that with the ability to talk to AI.
Speaking to AI is different than speaking to a human because AI can give you a lot with
a little bit of detail.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
I mean, do you want to get into the TA side of things,
or are we going to – we're just taking a little – Yeah, D-Bros, he's got his hand up.
Sorry, go ahead, D-Bros.
Oh, you know, bro, I was just going to say,
I didn't hear a D-Bros song in there, dude.
I was like, oh, man, I feel the love there, bro.
I'm like, all right, let me tell cory get cory on
your asses you know like how about this how about i just how about i'll write a d bro song just for
you guys and i'll highly highlight cory in there yeah perfect i'll clip that shit put it on our
website you know i'll send it right to cory in the private element can we have it as an outro you know maybe there was a needed outro for the day so we gotta we
gotta play a lot i got a couple i got a couple we could we could throw on i mean i just go on
at it all day well driving around shouldn't be messing with that stuff while you're driving but
you know talk to text helps a little bit hey yeah no problem you know don't recommend it don't recommend it yeah not uh driving advice but
it can be very uh very proactive if you're good at it i'm on the road on the road every day for
my business so just you know unfortunately in between stops i'll try to you know not not text and drive but uh crypto stoner if you want
to you want to slap the ta on the on us we can that'd be cool yeah we got a lot of ta this week
too you know it's crazy um charts are wild um mean, a lot of beer bags probably looking a lot better than they were
last week, but obviously nowhere near back, uh, to where we were, right? Like your, your bags are
just like back to, Oh my God, I made so much money. Um, but we're making it back, catching up some
ground. Do I think that we're back yet? No. Personally, I think that we got
some, we definitely got to retest the bottoms at some point here. I know it looks really good right
now. And I will say that I am impressed at how well the bulls have been doing with the longs
and how much they've been able to take control the whales that have been playing of the market to
push it up as high as they did, especially before we got numbers on, you know, we didn't have tech
numbers coming in yet, even though those are coming in good now. So that's going to be good
for the market for the rest of the week, by the way. So a lot of the earnings reports are starting
to look pretty good on the stock market side,
which means that crypto is going to also probably receive a little bump.
We're going into Friday, though, tomorrow, so that's going to be a big dictator on,
you know, what the short term is going to look like.
I had mentioned last Friday on our space that, you know, you could probably open a short,
but you need to be careful.
And sure enough, if you would have opened up a short, it would have been okay. It would
have had to been a quick one. Um, cause we bounced back so fast, but, uh, you know, uh,
I guess right now we're just still in that sideways trot. Um, we haven't broken any upper
resistance barriers that would make me believe we're going to go back to a hundred K. Um, we haven't broken any upper resistance barriers that would make me believe we're
going to go back to a hundred K.
Um, we've gotten close, but you know, we're just, uh, we're still in a lot of testing
tariff talks could go bad next week.
We also have may coming up.
A lot of you guys that trade, you know, that may is a, uh, in may go away.
Um, a lot of people take profit or don't trade at all or the you know
trading just kind of goes sideways so um i would say with the tariffs and may coming up that there
could be something that leads us to that downtrod back into the low resistances of the high 70s
um starting there and seeing where we could go back from there.
And I see my boy Invisin down there.
If you guys don't follow Invisin, make sure you go follow.
He does a lot of charting and he's good at active charting.
Hold on.
There's a truck coming by.
One sec.
Yeah.
And also, yeah, yeah.
Invisin.
Hey, bro.
You know what?
We know the markets are going to be down.
So just everybody take a break from a chart and go build.
You know, build.
Just build when it's down.
Build, build, build.
Yeah, if you're not a day trader, then you build right now.
And if you're a day trader, you know, you're making,
you are still making good moves right now.
You're following the market trends.
We're seeing these little dips, these little pops.
We know when they're coming.
We're opening our shorts. We're opening longs on the way back up. We're profit taking those
longs, right? You should be setting stop losses higher and higher, the higher the chart goes,
so that if it liquidates, you don't lose more, so that you can keep a lot of your earnings.
If you guys don't know a lot about that, y'all need to go follow TWOP, Mama Bear's son.
lot about that. Y'all need to go follow TWOP, Mama Bear's son. TWOP is really amazing at trading.
He understands markets very well. He traded futures on the stocks for a long time. And I'm
just plugging a lot of people today really because the market is a lot sideways that do charting,
like Invisin. Like I said, he does live stuff with us. And so on Fridays, you can learn about
how he sees the charts and if
you follow his page you'll follow you'll see that he calls when drops are coming when pumps are
coming where liquidity is if you guys follow me you know that I'm posting a lot of I would say
liquidity information like global liquidity where the markets are going, stuff like that, so that we understand
where to make those moves. And if you're not doing that, if you're not into trading,
then during this sideways time, your investment bags should sit and chill,
accumulate what you want to accumulate, but you shouldn't be caring about whether they're down
or not. You should be doing what Decentral Bros. Justin said over there. You should be building.
You should be doing what Decentral Bros. Justin said over there.
You should be building.
And I always say in all of my spaces and the spaces I'm a part of, make sure you guys are supporting.
And if you are buying projects, they should be the ones that are working right now.
This is when you should be supporting the projects that are going to be ready for the bull run, not the projects that pop up the week the bull run starts.
Those projects aren't going to have a lot of utility.
They're not going to have a lot of backing foundation structure the the projects that
are building right now these projects are putting in the time while everyone else is scared and ran
away from the market so these are the projects i recommend you put that money into and it's not
financial advice but it's my opinion of how you should be trading in the market right now, which is looking what to buy into that's building, what has utility, what has good community, and then holding those
bags and supporting those until we make that bounce. And then understanding dollar cost,
average profit taking so that you don't necessarily wreck the charts that you support so that you can
also understand that you can profit take while also helping another project
instead of hurting it. So there is so much to learn about all of that. The Green Pill Collective
and what we're building in all of this community, bringing every blockchain together, projects from
everywhere together, a lot of what Big Lou was talking about, which we need to get in more
contact and hang out more because your visions, the things that you're seeing are the exact same things I'm seeing.
And I absolutely love it.
And, you know, so with all of that, it's sideways time in the charts.
We're probably going to be testing some more bottoms.
I would say if you're a short term trader, if you're a day trader and you do short terms, really pay attention to your stop losses because the market's going to be moving quick just so you don't get caught out and you don't get caught with your pants down.
You don't want to get liquidated.
So that's about it I got for this week.
Follow those accounts like TWOP and VISN to get your information if you are trading so that you can know what's coming up.
Invisin to get your information if you are trading so that you can know what's coming up.
Tomorrow we run a space with a genius pothead.
I always say intellectual pothead, but it's genius pothead.
And I just wanted to shout those out and make sure you guys get some love and follows.
yeah shout those out make sure you guys get some love and follows bro ta is always just i don't
know the way you explain it is like a way that i think everybody can like take something from it
so always thank you for that crypto stoner appreciate that um yeah um so it wasn't by
accident that i brought the green pill collective and and the Trenches together in this space.
I'm kind of a fan of blending people that have similar mindsets.
I think it works out really well.
I did that when I was in the music industry a long time ago.
So I know it works here as well.
But I do want to bring up our next guest.
Let's bring up visitors.
They're already speakers, so that's great. These guys got a lot going on man they're uh they are a collection on solana
they're launching um their oyster collection but they're also building a competitor to magic eden
um these guys are highly intelligent i've been in a couple spaces with them listening to what
they had to say and uh it's really cool and i think you guys have seen pat around in the
discords um he's uh one of the founders of the oysters so i'm gonna go ahead and bring him up
to the stage and he can let you guys know what's going on yo yeah dude thanks for uh thanks for
hosting the space it's getting a little it's getting a little late over here i'm uh i'm
thinking about what i'm gonna eat for dinner to be honest But I know I've been having a good time listening to all you guys talking and
dude me like as a
Not as much of a day trader, but it's been tough, you know with the chop in the market. It's kind of just
You know, we're all waiting for a golden bull run all accumulating some bags
I've been buying a lot of XRP stuff to be honest. I'm on abstract now and you guys probably on abstract couple weeks ago
I got my dragon puck. I'm on Abstract now. You guys brought me on Abstract a couple weeks ago. I got my Dragon Puck. I got two of them.
And yeah, I'll probably grab
some more. And I'm farming some Bitcoin.
That was like the very first thing that
popped up on my screen. I was like, screw it.
There's some ETH. I'm farming some Bitcoin.
But no, I'm going to
explore a little bit more on Abstract. But yeah, man,
we're building the Oysters Collection.
We're also building the Kosha.lol
launchpad, which is down there in the listeners.
Myself, Pat, I joined up in the Discord today.
Thank you guys for the invite.
It's definitely awesome to be connecting with other guys
in the GreenPill Collective.
And Joe as well.
You guys might hear Joe on chain.
He's around.
He's doing it.
He does his Sunday shill-tacklers every other Sunday.
He does his New Money Crypto YouTube channel.
He's getting some good views there and stuff. So definitely pull through to his space on Sunday.
We're hosting one tomorrow. I believe it's at 3 p.m. that I have up on our page there. And yeah,
I mean, we're deploying first on Solana, but then we're going to be doing stuff on SWE second,
and then hopefully EVMs by the end of, you know, perhaps this summer. We'll see. It's a Q3 thing for us on the timeline right now.
But me and Big Man were yapping away earlier
about, you know, kind of innovation
and, you know, how rarity and NFTs
can be integrated into games
and just all types of cool stuff.
But yeah, the Oysters are a collection on Solana.
The first collection that's going to be launching
on the kosha.lo launchpad.
You guys can navigate to the Twitter.
The Twitter is in the Oysters bio as well.
I haven't
really done that much with that uh that account yet except for had our community come in and you
know show us some follows and raids so we're gonna you know once that's completely launched in public
and the launchpad's live we'll uh we'll start building more in public but for now we're still
putting the finishing touches on the tech behind it um the kicker is the organic rarity that you
know most of you guys have probably heard me spiel about for a while.
But basically it creates more of a free market system.
It's a way that deployers can come on and they can upload their NFT's metadata and all their attributes and their traits.
So all of your character's shirts and its eyes and the different unique things about it.
You can easily and seamlessly upload those things
into the Kosha Launchpad.
We can even work with you if you want custom UIs.
As simple as you may only have JPEGs and PNGs,
we can still build you out a custom landing page
basically on the Kosha Launchpad.
Your users can then come on and create their own characters
kind of like what's pinned on our oysters page there
except that's like a prototype from a couple of years ago it's um going to be you know much newer and sleeker
updated and um that was initially that actually that uh pinned tweet that's on our profile
is actually we were initially going to do this project as just the oysters project we hadn't
conceptualized building it into a full launch pad yet um and you know it's kind of going to be like
a one-off thing
we're going to build on the utility packages that we have now we have some cool utility inside of
the oysters project that involves gym chains and IRL experiences um and getting our community
discounts and value in other ways um you know I could yap for for hours on and on end if I was
to go through the whole oysters project and the coach launch pad one of the other cool things we
have with the oysters collection is we have um Ryan Katan from nickelodeon so he's he's done all
the art for for the oysters he's created the earl earl's his name the uh the original oyster um and
yeah and the uh the kosher launchpad the you know organic rarity system users can you know come in
create their characters and it's a scarcity based thing so uh you know the the shirts that are chose the most are the most common, and then the ones that are chose the least are the
most rare. Like a traditional collectible, you know, kind of a simple take on, you know, what
we think, you know, digital collectibles really should be in the future, you know, kind of putting
that, you know, power back in the minter's hands. And basically, you know, I mean, it's really,
it is a little more complex in terms of the math
and algorithms behind it, but at the end of the day,
like it, you know what I mean?
You go in, you create your character
and then it pops you out a rarity ranking determined
by all of the users' choices collectively.
So, you know, if there's, you know, 6,000 users
and, you know, let's say, you know, 3,000 of them
choose one shirt, well, that shirt's obviously going
to be a pretty common attribute.
And then if you have nine attributes in your NFTs build, then each one of those is going
to be factored in through the algorithm and it's going to pop you out a rarity ranking
for each NFT.
And hopefully, it opens a lot of doors like we were talking about earlier you know opens all the doors to build on things that already exist like trait swapping um
rarity hunting you know things that have kind of fallen off a little bit in the nft space in the
last couple years like in 2021 it was really you know it was really hyped up um you know jpegs
collections people have that sentimental value um to those nft but there wasn't, you know, they hadn't built as,
as, you know, more comp, more complex gamified experiences, I'd say, and made it so, you know,
each aspect of those ecosystems was, you know, kind of, yeah, I mean, it's really just putting
the, putting the power back in the, in the user's hands to each step of those ecosystems, instead
of things like just, you know, having a utility token. Well, now we have it. So, you know,
your utility token can be built upon like an organic version of supply and
demand kind of, uh, it's kind of like how I put it. Um, you know,
there's a ton of other cool stuff, but you know,
right now we're collecting beta projects.
We're going to be the first project to launch on the Kosher launch pad just to
kind of test the tech, make sure everything is seamless.
You know, there's obviously audits and things that we have to go through.
Like we're planning on doing a big audit before it goes public, you know, with maybe like ServTik or something similar to that.
I was over at East Denver kind of exploring some of those options.
And yeah, I actually talked to the Solana Foundation about it as well.
And, you know, yeah.
So just, you know, doing BD and partnerships for down the line, want to get like a kosher app, you know, and like you said, you know,
compete with magic eat and eventually that takes building a whole marketplace and, you know,
having those specific traits and be able to be inspected. Right. So when you have magic eating,
you can go and inspect each, each attribute, see how rare they are. You know, right now,
a lot of the collections have been able to hold their, you know, high floor prices. Um, like the
example I gave earlier was, um, when we were talking was, you know, D-Gods, like people have
had a really, you know, sentimental connection to those. The art's dope. It's a really cool
collection. It always has been, you know, but there wasn't that much movement ever in the
markets and they were kind of just pushing liquidity events instead of having like,
you know, consistent volume and things like that. You know, another point of manipulation has been people just wash trading, you know, it's been like founders have the,
founders have the power, you know, you typically just have bad actors coming in and abusing,
you know, things like launch my NFT to get their collection off the ground. They'll have hype,
they'll have lots of engagement on their Twitter. But then they have the discretion of which
attributes are the most rare. So, you know, they'll be able to put the rarest combinations in their own wallets that they got to choose in the first place, which was,
you know, which NFTs were the most rare. So, you know, then you'll have situations where even if
the price might pump up after mint, right, even if it does dump down, let's say, you know, it comes
up after mint, there's 5,000 of the 10,000 NFTs are in founders' wallets. Even if they offload all those NFTs and the floor price drops down under Mint,
they can typically still offload the rarest NFTs onto cult community members
that don't really know what's going on at all.
One of the cool things that Joe describes, it's called MetaView Plus.
It's a cool aspect of the Kocha Launchpad.
Users are going to be able to see basically every parameter that the founders set.
So we can't really control exactly what happens in the market.
In theory, you could definitely still have somebody that comes in and spends a ton of
money on the collection and dumps everything at once.
But the users will be able to see all of the different parameters set.
The last thing I'll touch on is the token tethering options that
we have that we offer. So, you know, if you want to come in, upload your collection, get your
community there, drive demand, you can use your your tokens or your your collections or your
projects, utility token or meme coin or whatever it may be to tether it to a specific price. So if
you want if you had a meme coin and you wanted to release an NFT along with that coin,
you could come in, give your users that gamified experience, but then you could also give them a
discount if they use your own token. So let's say $19.99, you could tether the token to $19.99 USD
in Seoul, and then they'll be able to pay. And then if you want to pay in normal Seoul, you pay $25,
kind of adding another layer of, you know, demand for your
ecosystem, right? That's kind of what we've been all about is trying to push the collective,
you know, ecosystems experience, like how can we give more tools to those founders,
as well as, you know, being able to build cool IP, and, you know, opening doors that we can
continue building on stuff. So, you know, there is like a longer term roadmap with a lot of steps
involved to get where we want to go. You know, but for now, our main stuff. So, you know, there is like a longer term roadmap with a lot of steps involved to get where we want to go.
You know, but for now our main mission is to, you know,
build the Oysters community, mint this out, or, you know, mint this.
And then, you know, we're doing the beta stage.
I think right now we only have like six projects,
but we're definitely looking to get that up to, you know, 20-ish.
And that beta test will probably run around the mid to end of June.
So we have some time.
We'd love to connect with all of you guys in the back channels as well.
If you do plan on releasing another collection
or want to release like a prototype collection
with perhaps a couple hundred NFTs
to test out the Kosha launchpad
and see if your users enjoy the experience
or whatever it may be.
I've kind of proposed the idea a lot of times
of kind of like Patreon collectibles,
where if you add like a gated,
it kind of automatically adds that kind of gated aspect to it
where if you already have a collection that's released,
well, then you can add, let's say,
100 or 200 collection to raffle systems,
like we were talking about bounties earlier.
And just the possibilities are endless when we connect, man.
So thanks for having us, definitely.
And, yeah, we'd love to talk more about the markets
and really everything we've got going on.
You know, I could talk for hours about the oysters and kosha.
So, yeah.
Dude, you guys are – your guys' plan is insane.
So I just want to say I wish you guys were doing EVM way before June
because we would, you know, abstract would you please tell me you guys are gonna incorporate
abstract yeah definitely are down the line I think the very first thing that
the devs like because we have the mason I shouldn't say well I mean it's a big
deal we have the May 7 timeline so that's when the when everything is going
to be complete and people can start onboarding their uis um you know right after that they're going to go into um building
evm and sweet which shouldn't really take that long um obviously it's also like finding other
projects that also have capable devs try to build something together like we were talking about
sock city and the sock puppets earlier about potentially doing something where it's like you
could just you know onboard your 3d modeling right right? We haven't done anything 3D modeling
and animated for the oysters,
but in theory, if you go and you build your character,
if you have a create your character system
with the UI that's then connected
to an already existing marketplace,
in the meantime, while we're building those things,
it should still work in the same way.
Then you can go and you can upload,
you can have, if we're able to work with other devs,
use that character in games and things like that.
Abstract's definitely on my list as well.
I've written down a lot of stuff about it
on my notebook over here,
even though I'm kind of still a new,
it's definitely on the list for this summer.
Awesome.
Yeah, I mean, I'm really excited to see
what you guys come up with and build.
I mean, I was intrigued the first time
I've heard you guys talk and we were talking and you invited me to come to your space and absolutely love the you
know love the fact that you're in the green pill collective as well that's that's awesome man i
mean it's like it i feel like a lot of the projects you know coming up right now we're all just going
to roll together through through everything it's it's really cool to to have that like that build
these friendships and be able to take
it you know be able be able to always have each other's backs and stuff i mean i think what you
guys are doing is great yeah yeah 100 i don't know if i'm i might be rugged maybe you're rugged
um my computer might be tripping i sure hope not. But did anybody have any questions?
Anybody want to ask any questions to Oysters?
If you do, throw your hands up.
I don't have a question.
I'd like to speak to him privately in DMs.
Much I can go, dude.
Yeah, definitely would love to connect with any of you guys
that are trying to do either either planning on launching uh your collection you know yes or want to do something
new i would i would just like to talk to you about everything um private in dms if that's okay
yeah dude i just shot you a follow-up you know know, I'm an ambassador for Mintify. You know, I've seen everything that they're building, like, the last three years.
And, you know, there's been eyes on magic and everything.
So it would be very interesting to speak to you about what you're doing.
Don't get me wrong, I've got an affiliate badge with them,
but I need to be careful what I say here,
but yeah, I'd like to speak to you.
Y'all just chatting to you.
I can see his laughing in the crowd,
but I need to be careful what I say.
But, yeah, I need to be careful what I say, as I said.
So, yeah.
That's cool.
Let's connect, my dear friends.
Get together and chat and DMs.
EAC, you've been up here on stage.
You want to say anything, my dude?
I just want to say, you know, shout out GBC.
Shout out Dragon Punks.
Legends building here.
Yeah, just, it's great to see, like, such a space filled with, like,
builders and community members.
And, yeah, I just wanted to come up, support.
Awesome. Love you up, support. Awesome.
Love you guys, too.
I am holding my ESC dearly in my wallet that you guys sent me, and I like mine because he's kind of – it's my personality,
so I absolutely love it.
I'm going to go – if everybody's down,
I don't know if Primal Dark wants to come up here and say anything.
I was going to go and start reading some lore to our our next chapter i'm only gonna read like i said a
section of it not gonna do the whole thing because last time i think i read for 20 minutes
that was pretty insane so um we'll try to keep that at minimum and uh go ahead go ahead hey so uh yeah one thing i wanted to talk about too is uh we i think we
talked about this a little bit on uh rick star's uh last space but uh with the green pill collective
uh and uh it's not not just from like all the projects, uh, being involved standpoint, but just like the sheer, like knowledge standpoint that they all bring.
Like it's so many groups of people with, uh, you know,
such a vast different, uh, amounts of experiences and, uh,
you know, that,
that level of experience and what everyone can learn by coming to these spaces and
uh and just seeing like you know what is what is this guy's experience what is this founder's
experience uh there's gonna be you know everybody comes from you know different backgrounds and
there's gonna be knowledge there that uh it's like a crypto university. Like you're not going to, um, be able to find that anywhere else.
Like I've been in crypto since early 2017, started researching Bitcoin in 2016, I was completely on my own. I never had any network or any groups of people like this to,
you know, reach out to and ask opinions or be like, hey, you know, what do you think about
this project? Or what do you think about this concept? And I didn't even see anybody doing
something like this that I could even just like pop into a space and follow.
So, you know, just being able to have access to that and it be free, like it's, it's a major thing. Like, I don't think a lot of people even necessarily can grasp at that unless you've
actually like been around long enough to really appreciate that all these people here are genuine and
uh willing to help each other out and um you know and just grow and grow and learn and
you know there's there's no dumb questions and of somebody here is going to have the experience to
be like if you have some idea, and they'll tell you like,
yeah, that's a good idea. Or, Hey, I went through something where, you know, I saw this and that's
probably not the best idea. So, uh, I just wanted to add that in because I do think the collective,
uh, knowledge and, uh, what we can all share and learn from each other.
And the whole Green Pill Collective is just like extremely valuable.
100.
It's big.
And back then too, also back then when, you know, 2000, 2021,
it was everybody just following whatever Cole said, whatever Cole told you to get.
whatever whatever coal told you to get that's what you bought a lot of them were rugs um you know
That's what you bought.
A lot of them were rugs.
i had a bad experience once where i bought a seven thousand dollar crypto bat on mint day
and uh you know we all know how that story ended so you know it's just all how you know just all
how you how you how you do it and we we've learned a lot along the way um it is nice having our
groups like this that we have for new people coming in. They
can be a part of something really special and people that are, you know, trustworthy, which
is awesome and very rare at the end of the day. I want to pass the mic over to Toads in the Trenches.
This is one of Lou's projects. They're absolutely amazing. I love the artwork,
and it was one of the first NFTs I've ever owned on Abstract.
So let's hear about a little bit what they got cooking and let's go to the toads.
Hey, hey everybody, what's up? Yeah, so the toads in the trenches was the first mint that Big Lou put out on Abstract. It was a free mint and I think we minted out in under two hours.
People have definitely been picking them up off the floor.
The floor price is steadily going up.
I think it's pretty thin.
There's not that many on the floor.
Once you're holding your toads, you can grab a roll in the Discord
and the roll itself will actually get you access to getting some airdrops of the Baked on Apes,
which is the next project that Big Lou has coming out.
And that's going to be on Ape Chain.
Linda, keep that secret.
But anyway, yeah.
Okay.
Keep it sacred.
It's an announcement in the Discord.
All right. Okay, move on.
Okay.
Yeah, so basically the Toads in the Trenches is the first project that started in the trenches.
Baked on Ape is going to be there as well.
But it was the first one that got it all started.
So, yeah, so that's what the toads in the trenches are about
i absolutely love the art i remember buying blaster sent me um one two after i picked one
up and we gave it away for a giveaway and i was like dude you know what there's some these
there's some pretty badass ones i'm just gonna go on a little shopping spree. So I think I bought like seven or eight of them,
but super cool.
I'm excited definitely to see,
you know,
where that,
wherever that goes.
I know they'll all,
they're all going to get scooped up because people are diamond handing the
shit out of them for sure.
it's,
it's all,
it's all going to lead to a certain path.
you know, daddy OG collection collection and um uh the baked
are coming and there's absolutely massive amounts of collabs and i mean i don't even know what to
say i mean linda uh who's on the who's on the so's account tonight, she knows. She sees it.
Huge, huge amounts of support for, like, the bakes.
And we just can't wait to just, you know, get it going.
And the price of it all is just – I mean, can we talk about the price of things?
Is that allowed?
I mean, are we allowed to talk about that i mean or is it yeah yeah i mean i mean nobody's i don't think anybody here is gouging
you know i mean we're we're asking like nine to i think now it's like 11 dollars per dragon punk
you know i don't see talking about it it's just um it's just uh i'll give an example where I want to talk about the price of things.
The Formula One Ape Introverse or whatever it was called.
I was offered a whitelist for that and I was just too busy.
I just didn't bother.
I'm too busy to take any whitelist for anything.
But that was like 35 Ape and that was backed by ApeCoin.
That was backed by RIDA.
It was backed by pretty much every person that could back it,
and it was only $35 Ape.
Now, $35 Ape is, what is it, 40 cents to the dollar?
So we're talking like $15?
So if you are not backed by yoga, reader, influencers, where do you stand with that?
influencers, where do you stand with that?
So we have collaborated with every single fantastic project on Ape.
There's no question of it.
But where do we stand with it?
It doesn't matter.
What is the value of, you know, buying, what, you know, buying, buying our thing?
What, what, what is different to anyone else's?
Well, I can tell you what it is.
Um, you're not just buying a profile picture.
You are actually buying something that's going to be monumental in the future.
There's no question about it and it will be a a profile picture and it will be a low
price um because of how the market is um the market is very very disappointing the market is
massive um massively liquidated because so many there's just so many blockchains
um there's so many l2s and this and the other.
You know, Hyper this and Barrier this and blah, blah, blah.
It's just absolutely spread all over the place.
So the days of high mints are a difficult thing.
I mean, let's talk about abstract right now.
What's the leading one? bossu yeah i've seen that all over the timeline for the last month or two
um it took about 65 free uh pre-sales um to mint out am i correct or am i correct
i believe so am i correct yeah i. Yeah, I'm never normally wrong.
So, yeah, they slowly did what they did, and there's hype,
and haven't they even revealed?
I mean, they've just gone on and on and traded on and on.
and traded on and on um i mean as as launching as toads um i've me personally um i've given away
bearish um because i believe in them i've given away a blether pass because i believe in the
blether pass um i've given away us dollars i've given away i. I know what continues to give away.
There's more giveaways when you're coming to Discord.
I'm going to keep giving people that are committed to real people,
that are committed to what we are doing.
But there's an edge to what we're doing.
And that's where people like Mike mike who's in the crowd comes
into it mike is a different character different level um to the people that um what i'm talking
about he is like a token only guy um he is fantastic he's promoting he makes people laugh
he does this he does that but there's one, he makes people laugh. He does this,
he does that.
But there's one thing about him.
He's on my team and he's on my core team.
And when it comes to tokens and when it comes to,
teams that are going to come to the trenches,
he's going to bring them to the trenches.
and they're,
they're basically already there.
And,
you know,
we, we've got every single aspect of it,
whether it's art, whether it's tokens, whatever it is.
And I don't mean to ramble on, but I'm not going to stop
until there's 50, 100 communities under our roof.
or 100 communities under our roof.
And then maybe I'll send a tweet to Cook or Wizard of Soho
or maybe Ansem, and I'll give them a GM.
And I think that's enough for me tonight.
We appreciate it, man.
I mean, I think, like, yeah, you should definitely talk to the gpc guys too
and see what y'all can come up with i mean that's where i two two like-minded you know
entities man this is this is what this is all about let's let's you know let's expand our
horizons and be just take it over you know what i mean i? I'm going to go ahead and, uh, I'm going to read some lore now and, uh, you know, everybody say some prayers for me because this shit is long.
Sometimes it's primal dark. I love you. This is my favorite part right here, dude. I love this.
Thank you. All right. It's got my jammies on. All right. So we were at, you know, chapter,
I've got my jammies on.
All right.
So we were at, you know, chapter three.
Now we're at chapter four.
And Eon just met it, found his sister, you know, in that meeting.
And here we go with chapter four.
The sensation of falling ended abruptly as Eon and Nova tumbled into solid ground.
Eon's protective instincts kicked in.
He twisted mine and its fall to concussion.
Nova's landing with his own body.
They landed with a thud on what felt like grass, cool and damp beneath Eon's body.
You okay, he asked, helping Nova up to her feet.
I think so, she replied, brushing herself off and looking around with wide eyes.
Where are we?
The radiant form of Elra's soul stood beside them,
her golden scales illuminating the strange landscape around them.
This is Crystallia, home of the crystal tear-locked dragon, she said,
her voice resonating with calm and powerful tone.
Golden butterflies fluttered all around their majestic presence, adding even more elegance to her glowing beauty. For a moment,
Dion felt hypnotized by her glaze. This is one of the few stable realms remaining, she said.
They stood in a vast meadow under an impossibly large sky. It stretched above them in swirls of purple, blue, and light emerald green.
Three moons of different sizes were visible despite the apparent daylight.
The grass beneath their feet wasn't that familiar.
Wasn't the familiar green of Paradise Valley, but a soft lavender that swayed in the gentle breeze.
but a soft lavender that swayed in the gentle breeze.
In addition, crystalline structures rose from the landscape,
catching the light and fracturing it into rainbows that danced across the horizon.
The air smelled of something sweet but entirely unfamiliar,
like cinnamon mixed with vanilla and honey,
plus something else they couldn't name or put their finger on.
It's beautiful,
know the breed, reaching down to touch the lavender grass. It calmed, it chimed softly to her touch, producing a delicate musical note. Oh, she said, exclaimed delighted. Elrissol's
expression darkened beauty endures even as worlds fall around us. What happened to your home? What
happened to Paradise Valley valley it was no accident
what do you mean eon asked his amber scales reflecting the strange light what exactly
happened to our world the ether fall alrissol said gravely as a severing of consciousness from
reality it tears apart the fabric that binds worlds together disconnecting minds from their anchors
the fabric that binds worlds together, disconnecting minds from their anchors.
The ether fall, Nova repeated, the name sending a chill through her despite pleasant temperature.
That's caused by the tremors, disappearances.
Elrissol nodded solely.
It begins with the fractures, objects flickering in and out of existence.
Tremors increase as reality tries to re-stabilize.
Then come the major rupture, as consciousness and matter separate entirely at a sub-atomic level.
But why, Eon pressed, why is this happening?
Before our soul could answer her from the beginning to shimmer, becoming translucent, I must go, she said urgently.
The pathways between worlds grow unstable.
Find the council of harmonies.
They will explain more.
Her voice faded as her form dissolved into particles of golden light.
The fluttering gold butterflies around her scattered.
Outward, I will return when I can.
Be cautious, young brave ones.
Not all who wander between worlds do so good with intent.
Wait, we have so many questions, Nova called, reaching towards disappearing light.
You can't just leave us here.
But Elrissol was gone, leaving the Drakes alone in a strange landscape of the unfamiliar crystal realm.
alone in a strange landscape of unfamiliar of the unfamiliar crystal realm well that was rude
eon muttered stretching and flexing his wings to ensure they were undamaged from the journey
the sound of the wind chimes drew their attention across the grassy plains a cluster of tall slender
beings emerged from the grass and the horizon they were dragons but clearly not the same as
eon and Nova. Their scales
shimmered with a radiant quality or emerald and sapphire. Their limbs were unfortunately long and
graceful, unnaturally long and graceful. They moved as if floating just above ground.
Locals, Eon said quietly, instinctively moving closer to his sister, stay behind me just in case.
Don't be ridiculous, Nova encountered stepping forward. If they wanted to hurt us, they would
have already sensed it. We're just strangers here. We should be respectful. Nova always trusted her
intuition and instincts. Ian was skeptical and observed cautiously. The beings approached
communicating amongst themselves in melodic tones that sounded more like music than language. instincts. Ian was skeptical and observed cautiously. The beings approached, communicating
amongst themselves in melodic tones that sounded more like music than language. One of them taller
than the rest of the emerald crown-like structure of curling growth on his head, stepped forward.
Greetings, travelers. It said the world's reasoning, the world's resonating in the air rather than being spoken aloud.
The light, Walker, brings you to us in very dark times.
Eon and Nova exchanged a curious glance.
I am Xyloth, tearlock elder of the crystalline harmonies.
You are welcome and crystalline.
Do not fear us.
Xyloth's voice was deep and powerful.
Cautiously, Eon shook
the offered hand
as firmly as he could. It felt
cool and smooth like polished stone.
I am Eon Drake. This is
my sister Nova.
We saw Elra's soul disappear,
Nova said. She mentioned something called
the Aetherfall before she left.
What is happening? Are we
stuck here? Why are you like no dragons i
have ever seen what did you mean by this the beings exchanged looks and seemed with heavy
with meaning comes out interjected we shall speak of these matters at the renaissance spires
it is not safe to linger out in the open. The tear-locked dragons formed
a loose circle around them and began to guide them towards the distant crystalline structures.
An entire city was before them made of shimmering crystals. As they walked, more of the strange
lavender grass chimed beneath their feet, creating constantly shifting melody.
What did Elrissol mean about others wandering between worlds?
Without good intent, Eon asked as they walked.
The crystalline dragons seemed to dim slightly, their irradiant scales losing some of their luster.
She speaks of rot wings, Xylas said, voice dropping to a somber tone.
Once they were like you, beautiful dragons from your world, caught in the Aetherfell when it consumed our world.
Nova gasped. There are other survivors from our world?
Not survivors. Another dragon said in its voice.
Soft breaking ground. They are corrupted ones and they have changed.
The Aetherfell severed their consciousness from all possible realities.
As Alex explained, trapped, fractured, trapped in a fractured space of time.
They experienced every thought as an instant manifestation.
Every fear made real.
Their minds became twisted and broken, disconnected from their own spark of consciousness.
Now they exist only in
the chaos and try to harm others. They were tortured, a smaller crystal dragon with a small
ruby red horns added, tortured by their own thoughts and anger until hatred consumed them
completely. Eon felt a kill run through his spine,, now they move between worlds as the ether fall spreads. As
Zylus said, drawn to stable realities, they speak to corrupt and destroy what can no longer have,
they can no longer have. Their amber scales have turned black and green, purple, their flesh rots
within, yet they still carry, yet it still carries them through the void.
Their eyes burn with madness.
And that, my friends,
is where we stop for part one of chapter four.
Anybody still there?
Bro, first of all, you always do an amazing job with awesome so that
is the introduction to the rot wings um hope you guys could understand that and hopefully it wasn't
breaking out um we always you know encourage everybody to go to the uh drag go to dragon
punks.com go to the story, and read it for yourself.
But we always want to do an in-person reading.
I think it just makes it a little bit more fun.
Can I just chuck you?
Got anything to add?
Yes, I have.
I have.
I have.
Do you mind?
We'll get behind you.
Hold on a minute.
Sorry.
Maybe he's not there.
I don't know.
Can you hear me?
No, we do.
Can you hear us, Dragon?
I'm going to go ahead, and I guess we can end the space.
If you want to read the rest of it, you can. I will read
part two at the next Community Spaces. I want to thank our guests for
coming. Lou, it's a pleasure. Awesome job, Oysters.
I'm excited to see what you guys do
green pill collective gpc make sure you guys are always hashtagging gpc all your posts um i think
it's going to bring it you know bring bring it just a massive um jose can i just say one thing
before massive wave we've got a massive wave coming, guys. We're very happy to be a part of it.

Can you hear us? I don't think so.
Yo, dragon.
I love you.
