What went wrong? What went so wrong? We're looking back at our predictions, uh, and, and the year in NFTs a little bit. . I think this is what I like about the episode we did a little while back that just reviewed every single project that we recommended and just held up the mirror, and this is kind of doing that, but with what we were speculating about around this time last year, December, January, periods of time, and seeing how it either held up or didn't. [00:01:16] Uh, gosh. Anything new in your wallet? What's going on for, for you? Right. [00:01:21] Uh, no, nothing too new in my wallet. Recently, I talked a bit about that edge project. Haven't done much, uh, much else since then. Um, You know, I guess, uh, you know, looking at, uh, looking at moving some of the, the, the mistakes that I've made, you know, those, uh, end of year, uh, tax harvest, tax loss harvesting, so working on that a bit, but that's, uh, you know, that's not that exciting to talk about the, the lose the losses, right? [00:01:50] No, but I guess that's, that's true. I've also been doing a lot of, moving of, of pieces that I had. I, I think it's super important because, you know, I, I look back and there were moments where, Liquidating staked coins to buy NFTs. And like both went down, but at the moment of liquidation, those coins were actually worth quite a bit. [00:02:08] So really spend some time doing that because frankly, it's locked on the blockchain and if you don't do it now, you're gonna kick yourself to earn tax time. So, you know, go back, uh, and, and really, uh, look through those, look through those losses. And also think about any moments, like, I'm, I'm thinking back to my Peg Axi stuff where I was like, you know, VIS was pumping that was like that, like fake coin. [00:02:30] these like, uh, flying horses threw off and I couldn't believe how much money he was coming in. Sorry, which, which fake coin from which horses? Which fake coin? This is from Pey? Uh, not, uh, no, no. Not my, my very legitimate horse racing. Um, on Zed, which I love. But no, but like, here's the thing. Those coins were worth a lot. [00:02:50] I was getting them, I was selling them, but then I was like half of those money I was using to buy more stupid flying horses. Um, and so the part I saved, I don't regret, but the part I spent technically, those were taxable events. I bought an asset then, then went down. So just play that out in your mind as you're like doing your your N F T harvest. [00:03:09] Yeah, we talked about this a bit more on a recent episode, so if you didn't give that a listen, you know, because it said taxes in the, the title, um, might wanna go back and just give it a, a quick listen as you're, uh, getting towards the end of the year here. Yeah, yeah. I, that's true. All right. What have we got in the news? [00:03:27] Oh, right. So, man, we talked about some of the. It's the big grifts that were happening in. Man, this looks a bit , a bit like some of the ones, some of the items that we talked about in that last episode. But there are, uh, people coming after Justin Bieber, Jimmy Fallon, uh, for their basey, the, their board ape endorsements. [00:03:49] I'm not saying that those are related, but man, this does, uh, it doesn't look great and it, there were a lot of suspicions at the time of, you know, how much they were maybe getting paid. , you know, that wasn't on the chain. Uh, and that they were being, these were basically being purchased by Moon Pay on behalf of celebrities. [00:04:06] So it's not entirely clear how much, uh, the celebrities were paid versus getting paid. And we may see, uh, some of that information come to light with these lawsuits. Yep, yep. There's a big difference, right? If you're getting paid to sponsor a thing, you're need to disclose. , if we were running ads, if we were like, we were also try to be clear on, you know, this podcast when we talk about, oh, like I, you know, I make my jokes about Polygon, but yes, I hold polygon. [00:04:35] Like when we own a project, we, like I hold this project. You also have to say if that project was given to you or paid for by someone else, because there's an assumption from the market that you chose to freely of your own will go and, and buy a thing versus, no, no, I've been just paid. Paid to drink smart water. [00:04:53] Okay. That's. But you need to disclose that. And I think because of this like gray area of like, oh, it's an N F D, like it's, you know, totally on the blockchain, no one will tell like, if you're doing something wrong and you know it, like people are gonna find out , like, especially if you're a celebrity. Uh, I'm here, I'm here for those, uh, for those investigations. [00:05:14] I'm here for that. Yeah, I'm, I'm very curious to see what happens with those. Some get some, uh, some juicy information on those deals. All right. We get the next one, man. Actually, you called this. You freaking called this without. I never even saw it in the news. You were always calling this though, so you're good to have a I told you so. [00:05:32] Woo. Nice. . You get no money, no fanfare. Yeah. , I afraid. Oba. A whole bunch of smugness. You can be so smug. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. , smug mug. . Oh man. So we've got another old, you know, early internet era, nineties internet era, uh, company making it a comeback. I guess some of those. Os, uh, like Limewire and some of the others, but this one we've got Win amp coming back with a N F T with a music player that will support NFTs music. [00:06:05] NFTs. I actually think this is kind of cool idea. I don't know how to play music NFTs other than going to a website, and I know that that's not very, it's just not a way that I'm gonna ever listen to a collection of any, or, uh, listen to my music. It's having to go to a website for. Specific song that I wanna listen to. [00:06:24] So I haven't tried this out. I like the idea of actually being able to bring all of your collected music into one interface and play it all there. I can't, I, I was actually a little surprised to hear that Win Amp was, was around it all. Not clear to me if this is an original, you know, original, uh, company that's still working on this, or if it's been bought out. [00:06:47] But, eh, I used this project for, for years, back in the day. , there's something romantic about this. I, I, I was so ready to hate this, and I have to take a step back and say, yeah, I'm from also like an era where I would play a record. I would play a cassette, I'd play a cd, but I could, you know, in those moments, you'd be showing to the audience or to whomever, like especially if you're playing a record, like I have that record. [00:07:14] And for NFT music, a lot of it in your mind, you're like, oh, just play it on Spotify. You're like, that doesn't exist on Spotify. Yes, you could right click save, dump it into a file, push it onto a server, connect that server to your spot, like it gets a bit of headachy. But then there's also this like, oh, if you're playing it for friends or doing something like that, I could see it whole like device standalone to be like, in the same way that we're talking about digital picture frames, my mind immediately goes to, you know, it's an N F T player and it could have N FFC functionality so that if somebody else were. [00:07:48] They could be like, Hey, here's my album that I have. Like Oh cool. Just makes it a touch. More romantic. An I R L sense. Yeah, it does. And I, you know, I think they, yeah. They're onto something here. You know, we've , I dunno, this next one actually is, is maybe somewhat related. Uh, the SOUND XYZ platform has seen some, some impressive usage recently. [00:08:10] Uh, that's the, the title here is say that the NFT Minting goes Stratospheric on sound. . So this is, you know, I know what that, I'm not sure if I'd quite go that far, but, uh, you know, we do see. The, it's getting used. There are more people, uh, starting to get into, into music NFTs. Um, you know, it's something that actually I, well think, we'll maybe touch on this later, uh, that, you know, I had talked about early in the year, and for the most part I would say that we haven't seen music NFTs be a major, uh, Major impact on the N F T marketplace, um, overall this year. [00:08:45] And there's a lot still happening. Uh, you see a lot of new marketplaces, a lot of new tools being introduced for, for music creators. And you know, like to see that, that there are mints, uh, happening, even if it's not maybe, uh, you know, the, on everyone's, you know, the, you know, it's not the front page of open sea or anything like that, but there's a lot happening here. [00:09:06] But still alive. And they, uh, share some of their data. They've onboarded 240 artists, dropped 709 tracks, reached 6,200 unique collectors, minted 33,000 NFTs and paid 4 million directly to artists. I think that's, you know, pretty great. I think on the, the million, 4 million to artists, uh, that's something pretty impressive because, you know, it takes a whole lot on Spotify to like earn enough 0.0000. [00:09:34] You know, units of money to actually get there. So, uh, I like that final stat. I'm less impressed actually by, uh, by the mint volume there, you know, in terms of 33,000, you know, like that's like, you know, a, a Tuesday on, um, Tuesday and Open Sea. Hey, I mean, Reddit's, uh, certainly putting up much bigger minting numbers than that, but yeah, 4 million directly to artists. [00:10:00] I think there is something there. You know, as you said, the, the, the royalty structure in streaming music is not very good at all for, for artists, and I think that there's a, a real, uh, potential to solve, uh, some, some problems there anyway. Oh man, what a reversal here. So Apple, we talked about Apple a couple weeks ago in that they were going to impose a 30% tax on all transfers, including going, uh, trying to get a cut of gas fees, Ethereum gas fees for, for any transfer if even a from of a, of an N F T from one wallet to another. [00:10:38] Now, uh, seems like they, they maybe are, are listening to feed. Seems unlikely that Apple would do that. But, uh, I suppose if they actually do once in a while, listen to what people have to say and they have reversed that they're going to allow, uh, external, um, apps in that could bring in crypto and NFTs. I, I'm quite surprised by this, the idea that they will allow external with apps, This is, I mean, they've never allowed external apps at all. [00:11:05] So I think there is some something here, like there probably, there seems to be a distinction of what they'll allow in the, in the app store. These are, if you, early on there, there are many features that were not available on on iPhones and there are a lot of, uh, and he would jailbreak them, definitely used to do that, to even able to get a lot of other features that, uh, from apps that weren't allowed. [00:11:28] So I think it'll be somewhat like, That you'll be side loading these. Um, most Android phones also do this where you don't necessarily have to get an app through the official play, the Google Play Store, you can get them from unofficial, um, you can get an unofficial app. Uh, but it's sort of a use at your own risk, uh, mentality on those from, from Google, from Apple, I assume, with this one as well. [00:11:54] So, uh, Hey, I think this is better. You know, I think they maybe realize that there's , you know, that's a potential huge loss of, of a cust of customers if there's really no option to, to interact with, with crypto outside of paying 30%, which is, you know, just completely unfeasible. So what I'm reading, and obviously the news is updating by the, by the day here is. [00:12:18] They're preparing to open iOS competing app stores and that N F T component only for the European market, but not the American market. I missed that part. . Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but uh, as I go down that article, like, uh, oh yeah. Mark Irman writing for the Bloomberg says Apple is preparing to do this. [00:12:42] So it wasn't clear to me if I, I see that they're doing it to comply with those, if I've read it as they were, that was sort of the impetus. But not that it would be different for the two stores, but that is possible that they would act. Yeah, that it could just be that they allow it where they have to and, uh, and not allow it in the us. [00:13:05] Yeah, this isn't, I'm not dancing, I'm not dancing yet in terms of this being like, oh my God, everything's gonna change. I'm not heading back to Apple with my phone, but also choice anytime soon. . No, no, no. Uh, also though, like just as a reminder is technically impossible to charge a 30% fee of gas because that would change the transaction amount, which would change the gas, which would change the transaction. [00:13:33] It is a recursive loop that doesn't end a snake eating itself if you try to take it in Ethereum. But if you just said you try to take it in the actual transaction to it, if we're going to just say, well that was $12 and 38 cents in gas, we're going to charge you 30% on your Fiat Apple Pay connected credit card or whatever. [00:13:53] Um, , I'm sure they'd be happy to do that and, and send you the accounting for it too. Figured the way to do it, I guess. Yeah. , but absurd. Absurd. [00:14:04] Okay. I think, I think you talk about the, the project Etched by Deca. I know you were excited about it on the last episode. I've actually minted one of these and I, I think it's like pretty cool. So here's my, like, layman's understanding of this. Like I connected my wallet, I. It looked through my NFTs and said, Hey, take one of these and then shove it through this algorithm that makes it into this cool etch, which is like, you know, uh, obviously a generative art piece, circular multiple colors. [00:14:38] It looks like one of those, like, uh, Steno grafts. I'm pronouncing it wrong, but like, you know, where you have those like various designs where the pencil goes around in a circle? In a circle and, uh, it's a good looking thing. I guess I don't fully understand it. Maybe you can explain a bit more. Yeah. Uh, I could try to, I know that it's a, it's a experimental project from Deca, as we talked about. [00:15:01] And, and Matt Cain. And Matt Cain is the, uh, he's a very, one of the earlies. OG crypto artist. He's been around the space for a long time. He's, uh, one of the early, uh, super rare artists, has a lot of pieces there, um, that, um, go for a, a very premium price. He's also the artist behind the Gazers Arc Blocks collection that, um, I think is now at something like a 35 eighth floor. [00:15:26] Um, and it's a very interesting collection. He's a. Big time in the big time coder in the way he goes about his art. Um, those pieces, the, the Gazers collection changes over time in response to the moon phase. Um, and this project is definitely experimenting with his, with his coding and bringing in, uh, bringing in. [00:15:45] The, your own bringing in collections or pieces from your own N F T collection and then combining it with, um, with these works as just like, as George was saying, I think it's a stenograph maybe, is that ? I dunno the exact word wrong. I love somewhere someone was like, they don't know the answer. It's stenograph. [00:16:04] So then, yeah, then you've got the idea here is that you can etch these words onto the blockchain. You know, he's saying that we don't actually get words typically etched on the blockchain. So you, when you, you have to add text into this, um, in order to sort of commemorate, them to, to remember these words on, on the blockchain. [00:16:23] I don't know where this project. obviously in the future. I think, you know, there's a lot of potential for, you know, maybe using these to combined in, in further ways or even, you know, to string different words together. Um, you know, I have no idea what may play out here. I would just, I'd be surprised if this were the end of it. [00:16:43] Um, other projects that they, I mean, their DECA project is an ongoing, um, Just an ongoing creative project where you, they keep adding new levels that you can get to with points. Um, I think they, well, they've done, they've done a piece with, uh, with X copy in the past, um, that has given a holders access to, or given them, I, I think, I mean access, but has given raffle, um, Raffle entry, uh, two. [00:17:13] And I, you know, there, I just think that there's a, a good chance that they will, they will end up doing more with this. So probably worth minting, uh, one at least. And, you know, maybe a couple if you want to experiment with, uh, you know, putting maybe a phrase together. Yeah. I put my, one of my favorite, my noun, uh, my noun 83 in there, and I minted that out. [00:17:34] I think it's worth it for mint price, uh, and has upside to get to play with some tech. Um, yeah, I like this project. Uh, so it's deca.art. Yeah. Show us, show us your, your, your cool ideas in the, the discord. You know, show us the words that you came up with and, you know, just, just don't say anything too bad about us in, in, in the description. [00:17:52] Hello. That's right cuz whatever you put in the description is actually minted there. Worst idea ever. Terrible. It's actually kind of interesting. Um, Alrighty. So the theme, what we get wrong, so we're looking at back, you know, we scanned through our, what we were excited about, kind of podcasts and what was top of mind. [00:18:13] So last year around this time, we were very excited about. Coinbase, n f t. It was like when, when we actually have an episode when Coinbase, n f t as though it were like some magical event that would automatically turn all of the users of Coinbase into fervent rabid N F T monsters. Uh, how did that play out, Andrew? [00:18:38] Ah, I mean, Coinbase NFT is out , um, it's. Uh, maybe it's maybe not as big of an impact as we thought. Is that, does anybody understating it? ? I'd put it at the top because I think it's the number one thing we got wrong. I learned a lot actually. Whenever my expectation versus reality is like that high a delta, it really helps me like look back and be like, like, what don't I understand? [00:19:06] And I. From that point, I, I think was too much in the world of like how excited I just was about the ownership of NFTs. And I thought when other people got this opportunity, my assumption was that it was a barrier to entry. Like it was some sort of like, oh, too hard to cross into this ability to purchase things and Coinbase will make it easy. [00:19:28] And it's, it's not about ease of purchase necessarily, uh, or at least the way they. . Um, it's really about the different ways that functionality has to be built into things. So, you know, I, uh, I had this assumed thing that would be automatically adopted by everyone has of the market, and instead it was like a dead feature out of the door. [00:19:48] Yeah, I think there was maybe more self selection than we realized in the people who were interested in NFTs. They had largely already found their way to. To self custody to to use meta mask. Yeah, largely meta mask. , maybe some other , some other, you know, extensions, you know, and at the end of the day, you know, we're we're saying it was a huge hurdle and there's a lot of people, if you've really wanted to get into it, it's not as, as, you know, people listening to this, you know, you know that you can get into NFTs and, um, it's not the most technically challenging thing if you, if you really want to do it. [00:20:25] So, you know, the idea that maybe that was the biggest hindrance, um, to holding. You know, to holding people back, you know, that were, were into crypto, but didn't want to, to get into, or that, that wanted to get into NFTs and just didn't have access to it. Yeah, I think we made a big mistake there and it's definitely something I've tried to keep in mind. [00:20:45] you know, as, as new projects have come out, new products are released, . Okay. Another one, sort of a prediction thing we were looking forward to was the Super Bowl. We thought that NFTs would be featured prominently and crypto would be featured prominently. Following onto adoption, what we didn't realize is that one of the biggest advertisers for crypto in the Super Bowl was actually one of the largest, uh, perpetrated Ponzi schemes in recorded history. [00:21:12] Ftx being the leader out there paying for a lot of place. . And so it actually had the complete inverse effect. Yeah, there was, I mean, we did see a few ads, huh. Um, from some big companies, but yeah, it definitely did not bring people in, in the, yeah. In the end we saw a lot of celebrities pumping N F T or probably crypto, that's not looking so good anymore. [00:21:36] It definitely, again, you know, I think we're, it was the idea that, you know, More exposure, just gonna bring people in. And you know, we had already, we had seen that wave. I think that wasn't what was going to do it, man. That's, uh, that was a big miss. I think it's surprising that, uh, we're still seeing some companies talk about trying to do a another, uh, or to. [00:21:59] Invest in a Super Bowl ad, um, after we saw a pretty considerable amount spent last year and ooh, I can't imagine that the R ROI has been good on any of the, that money . Yeah. I feel that people are still feeling the rug burn, but we'll see. Uh, okay. Another one, games. We were incredibly bullish. I was leading the charge on this, I'll say like every game. [00:22:21] I was like, someone's gonna figure this out. Someone's going to. , you know, the next big thing out there. And what happened was there would be hype cycles, and they were far shorter than I realized. Uh, you know, I started this episode talking about like some of the things I'm, I'm selling from Pegasi, which completely imploded, but you know, I, you know, you can look at all pretty much games. [00:22:45] Even Red Village. We were really excited about it. Just, uh, it wasn't there in terms of being able. Figure out an economic model that sustains right play to earn or play and earn. We were kind of always like, oh, which will, you know, be the thing that the truth is, it doesn't work yet. You know, if the game doesn't start off as fundamentally fun, addicting, something I wanna be a part of. [00:23:09] uh, you, you, you really have a hard time, I think starting with an N F T first mindset versus a game first. Um, and we haven't seen it in the market. We haven't seen, uh, even the largest ones like Atlas, um, you know, come to fruition in any meaningful way. Yeah. I don't know. What do you see on this? Yeah, I mean, I think there was, I know there's been a ton of investment in different gaming projects and we have not seen the. [00:23:38] Uh, the adoption that you'd expect at this point? You know, I thought, and I know that there, there, it can take some time. I am hoping that, you know, we still see something. However, I think we've talked about this before. I think that there's a strong, a stronger chance that we get a simple mobile app type of game that's. [00:23:57] You know, maybe not all that impressive. And it is just what, you know, it gets a lot of users and, and you slowly, or people don't even realize that it's happening. Um, and maybe isn't this, this nf this huge invested, uh, investment, um, N F T project that everybody's paying attention to. You know, I think maybe that's too obvious and. [00:24:19] Trying to go about it a little, uh, too head on. Um, you know, I could be wrong, but it feels like there's gonna be a different, a different tactic that ends up working here that, that maybe, uh, makes better use of the blockchain or integrates with a blockchain in ways that we beyond just owning an asset in a game. [00:24:39] Yeah, I mean, for all that said, you know, AXI Infinity for the past seven days has done 364 Eth Ethan. , like that's real, right? 37,000 sales, like people are still playing as Yeah. There's still interest. There's still, I mean, I think that's the thing, you know, you're seeing that there's still interest, there's still people there and you, maybe we are out of some of the hype cycles. [00:25:00] You know, the, the prices have certainly come down, but that's true everywhere. And uh, uh, there was a ton of investment. As I said. I think that probably, uh, Increase the, the value of some of these with the, the expectations that there was going to be things come, you know, releases coming right away and, and more investment and, and more, uh, more public players coming into the space. [00:25:23] And, uh, you know, gets, gets back to what we've said. You know, it's, this is a. We haven't seen a sudden surge. This is more of a slow growth, uh, type of, uh, at least right now, that's where we are in, in, in the crypto space in general. I mean, we are not at the stage of seeing, uh, you know, just a, a surge of people come in and. [00:25:43] I think that's gonna be true with the games too. We're gonna have things that are crypto native, that, that maybe get some, get some, get some buzz in the crypto area first and then hopefully can, you know, lead to things that, that get more mass adoption. I don't know if those are actually the same type of game though. [00:25:58] Yeah, yeah. It's a good question. Uh, another one we were, I think you, so you, you were a bit more excited about this than I music, you know, looking at the opportunity for music, NFTs, I mean, on the heels of hearing sound, X, y, z calling, calling their numbers stratospheric, which, you know, I, I don't know, 30, 33,000, I dunno that I would say stratospheric, but hey, but you know, we got win amp. [00:26:24] Um, you know, that's what's, you know, no, I'm not gonna take this as a win. But, you know, I, I do think there's still something more coming here. There is a lot of investment as said, there are. There is real usage. It's relatively small, and the fact that there is a problem with, with how music is distributed and, and paid for in the, like the digital distribution of, of music is, is broken. [00:26:49] I think there is, you know, potential here because of that more so than than industries where you see it working pretty well. Um, you know, there's a bigger opportunity. . Yeah. I think it's got a more near term success probability because you're talking about artists with true fans, and those are two critical ingredients, I think, to generating that type of value, um, and utility. [00:27:14] It can also, you could imagine, blend, uh, blend into IRL events pretty elegantly. Um, I think there's tremendous opportunity there. I think it's just, uh, Got a bit more road, thank goodness, get to that market that Taylor Swift did not get involved with ftx. There, there there's a story that they had tried to sign here to a hundred million deal, but if they had actually done, I don't know, maybe it would've turns out that would've saved them or something. [00:27:41] You know, they, they would've handled the ticket thing and just pocketed all that money. , yes. Yeah. The joke that I was like, Aaron is just like, I mean, It's, uh, I'm very impressed. I, I keep waiting to hear any sort of statement from, uh, Taylor Swift's team, but like what, um, what remarkable presence of awareness to be like, why, eh, I don't like it. [00:28:04] Something smelled like, cuz a hundred million dollars is, yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, for anyone, a lot of money. I don't care who you. . And so something must have thrown off an alarm bell. But the joke of the matter is that Sam made a calculation, right? Like this is a smart human, that he would've just taken all of the fans money, who would've obviously wanted to buy NFTs on their platform and paid her with it, and then kept everything left over, right? [00:28:31] Like, can you make more money? Right? Like that's essentially what you're doing. You're buying someone's celebrity, monetizing. taking the people's money who think that they're saving money and putting money into an investment account or savings account or stablecoin on your platform, buying an n f e on your platform, uh, and you're just taking and paying that person and you can just keep repeating that again and again, which is very interesting. [00:28:53] Um, and it's destructive force in it. So that did make me think the other part of this, you know, we're talking about the music distribution and how digital music is played, and we also know. The ticketing industry is very broken, and that's where I think you could see some of these come together. And I know that there's a problem with, with the access to venues, and a lot of the artists that we're talking about on, on these, you know, that are producing on sound at X z I don't think are, are at the level of, of needing to worry about that, you know, the, the larger venues at this point, you know, maybe this does need to start from a, you know, a, a more grounds up kind of, of, of manner. [00:29:30] And there's something to, to, to combining those, giving access to your biggest fans, giving them the option to buy tickets ahead of others, and you really understand who the fans are. Not giving access because they're a, you know, a Capital One Gold, whatever member, you know, that doesn't show that you're a, a fan, you know, if you, if you have a, yeah, you can have that n ft. [00:29:49] You, I mean, yeah, maybe you bought the N F T, but you've at least had to do something to. To, to show you're a fan and if you're, you know, if you've been along for a long time, you've got that NFT cheap, you know, at when before they were, before they were anything. And it, it's almost like, yeah, I, I knew the band before they were played, you know, before they made it to the top 40, whatever, you know, that kind of the idea before they blew up and, and you can prove it. [00:30:12] Yeah. And, and those artists, those artists are there now. So maybe we do an episode where we look at Sound X, y, Z and be like, are there. Are there upsides there? Can we play in that? Um, or is, oh boy, that's a tough one. No one of many, right? It's really hard. I'm like, I like listening to music, but I'm sure someone can do it. [00:30:30] Pacemaker or someone. Yes, someone can do it. Uh, all right, I like that music tee. Uh, I can go quickly through this one. World Cup. , I thought, uh, the number one attentive sporting event in the world combined with NFTs and soccer would do something. It didn't. Um, new coins were sort of created fan coins. Uh, there's definitely people making money, but the people that are making money are the ones that are launching projects, not holding onto projects and flipping. [00:30:56] I've seen, yeah, I think they're running some those riff play. See last episode. What do you need? A major event with attention. Uh, yeah. So not, not much there. If you were gonna make money, you would've done stupid soccer balls based on the country and seen how many, like, go and do some incentive there, like it, um, a nothing burger. [00:31:20] And so a thing that I'm gonna realize similar to Coinbase and Super Bowl. is that future event is already priced into whatever asset you're looking at, um, in many ways, uh, because the new attention is not bringing new customers at a level that's gonna move the price in any substantive way. And that's what I'm seeing. [00:31:42] All right. Uh, another one. We were very bullish on N F T tracking tools, um, and NFTs and sas, and we're like, oh, despite our own reservations, The SaaS. Yeah, no, we pointed out the problem and then we still, I mean, you know, I still like my wagni, uh, wagni tool, but like, I didn't need it, use it enough that it's been worth it, but it's not the value of, of the, the NFT itself is certainly not worth it. [00:32:08] Yeah, no. Um, and so NFTs is SaaS, um, don't really work. And when we say that, we just mean when you buy this subscription access to some software. that requires ongoing maintenance, but you just have a one-time fee forever, like very clearly, like doesn't necessarily work. Um, anyway, we didn't see the value there. [00:32:28] Um, how about this one? We had a general, uh, shade against Solana and like not trusting Solana NFTs and things on there. Uh, we did, Hey, we had an open mind. We had an op. I like that about us. We had an open mind. We did dabble on there. We did play on there. Um, but how, how do you feel like this turned. In terms of our prediction, oh man, pat and I, pat and ourselves on the back here. [00:32:52] Right. We have stayed away from that. Yeah. It's a bit of a, um, you know, I think it is one that was easy to get caught up in. And look, it's not that like everything else has been perfect, but that has had risk from the start. You know, when you don't have access, some of the time it's as good as like, , I mean essentially never. [00:33:12] Um, so I, that always scared me, the downtime over there and, whew, I'm glad to, to not be involved in that ecosystem. My fear was also around the percent that investors held and would be dumping on the market. Mm-hmm. . And again, if you are paying a price for a thing in that currency, and then, I don't know, let's say a bunch of investors are looking to dump their bags on you as quickly as. [00:33:38] Possible gonna do it. Uh, that's gonna have a very, very negative impact on, um, on the price. Um, you know, and then like the SPF debacle dropped that price from 30 from, it was dancing in the thirties for a while down to less than half. So it was dancing in like $12 range. But, uh, a year ago, do you wanna play the game, Andrew? [00:33:59] Guess that price? What was Solana at? Well, a year ago it was Solana at. . Yeah. A year ago, if we were like, buy some one OFTs, that's the place to be. One 30. You plan at home. Gotta get a higher number. A little higher than one 30. Keep going. One 60, keep going. Uhoh. Two 30, . There we go. It got up to 1 97 so like, oh boy, just take a pause. [00:34:26] Right? Like this time last year we were throwing shade and so on it cuz we were saying, I don't know if I trust the underlying asset. Now, yes, you can throw eggs at Ethereum all you want, but it sure as shit didn't do this type of drop where it goes from 1 97 down to a. $14. What happens to that N F T? You bought a 200, remember that episode? [00:34:46] You did. What is, you know, when a a hundred percent gain is in a gain? This is exactly what we were talking about. Yeah. Oh, my N F T went up three x in value. I'm sorry, the coin you were on went down 99% in value. What does that look like? Well dig aloe. Look at Solana. Well, that's what that looks like. [00:35:02] That's what that looks like. So, um, you know, you're, you're picking up pennies in front of a steamroller if you're trying to flip on a, on a platform that's got that much hype. Um, so the things we've got wrong, I will take it. But, um, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty, pretty bullish on that one. I think we, uh, hopefully guided somebody away. [00:35:23] Decisions like that. All right. Uh, and we were, you know, related here. We nailed this. I love, we're laughing on this. We nailed it. did we, we really focused on, on the eth the Ethereum network. We did. Uh, so we have in here, the merge will boost the market. And this was sort of a broad sentiment that I think we had moving in the air. [00:35:46] I can't wait for the merge. It was, it was gonna come out in June, then it was gonna come back, whatever. Uh, No, you don't think, has that not I haven't really looked at, no, no, you, no. I've been holding off and looking at the price cuz you know I'm gonna be untake and I didn't really wanna look at the price until I could Untake so. [00:36:07] We're not, not doing so good. Not so hot . No, it's uh, it's not right. Like, so the merge, here's what I will say. I'm excited that the NFTs that I own on Ethereum are green by the sort of measurement of energy storage usage. Ah, not in the green. I like that. Uh, they're not in the green . They are green, but not the way I kind of wish they were. [00:36:32] Right. So the market didn't respond. It didn't. , uh, the type of, um, I guess hype and adoption of the Ethereum network. You know, it's just people still building. So, uh, even when the event impacts the underlying technology of the thing, making it more stable and secure. Uh, and by the way, ultrasound money, because guess what Ethereum is doing, the operation of it, selling block space is technically reducing the overall supply. [00:37:03] you know, month by month, uh, because of the new way that staking works, uh, which is pretty cool. Uh, but no one cares. Uh, no one cares about that. And we thought they would, they don't . Oh, that, yeah, it was, you know, glad that it was, uh, a relative non-event because if it had, it had a potential to, to really go bad if it didn't go smoothly. [00:37:26] So I guess that's good, but it definitely was not a catalyst for, for, uh, the market in any way. ? Nope, Nope. Thought it would be. So I think here's a big takeaway. Like, um, the news is already priced in there. It is. Don't get excited about a thing in the future. The news is already priced in. Um, . I would, I would say playing in the right areas makes a lot of sense. [00:37:54] So like, in a macro sense, uh, I still like the idea of playing in the, the domain of music. I, I am very wary about games. I have learned a lot about the game dynamics that don't work. I, I'm nervous about like, going all in on any other game. Um, so I'm probably not doing that anytime. We may have to get into another, maybe we'll have to get another predictions for what's coming, but I guess wanna go through predictions. [00:38:19] I'm sorry. We'll do a prediction episode so we could be really wrong. Again, , I would definitely steer away from, from any of the ideas that any a signal event would be a, a big catalyst for either price or participation in, in NFTs. You know, that's, I, I've, everyone is not coming. That's the banner. Everyone is not coming. [00:38:41] It's gonna be a trick. . Yeah. I mean hopefully incoming, you know, hopefully it's a , I think. I'm kidding. Not a slow trickle out . Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't say which way. Uh, alright, well there we have it. Um, I think maybe, we'll, we'll go for our predictions episodes. If, if we feel, uh, if we feel motivated, we'll come up with some stuff. [00:39:05] Yeah. We're really, we're coming up to the end of the year again, man. It's, uh, yeah, definitely been a different year than, than what a, than what either of us thought it would be. And I think than, than what most people thought it would be. Man. Have you look at back at just the crypto has been dominated by, Uh, just scammer after scammer and grifter and, uh, all looking like it was the legit stuff. [00:39:28] And man, I'm, I'm ready for, ready for something new. . Yeah, I, um, I, I think if you survive, like you weren't, you certainly weren't early when you were coming in to 2020 ones like hot market. But if you're coming in now and you've survived this, like you are officially. Yeah, you're official og. I think if you've survived this market and are still interested in doing this and, and experimenting hurting stripes, whether or not that's rewarded, who knows? [00:39:55] Yeah. You have stripes. I'll mint them for you at the low, low price of how much you willing to pay. Yeah. . . Alrighty. Yeah. Uh, hey, if you haven't gotten us a gift already, leave us a review on whatever player. Are you happening listening. and uh, yeah, we'll probably have another episode, but in case we don't, uh, have a happy holidays.

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has secured regulatory approval in France, according to a release from France's capital market regulator, the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers). Binance is now a registered Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) in France and will be permitted to custody digital assets; facilitate the purchase, sale and exchange of such assets; and operate a trading platform for them. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) said Wednesday it has opened the beta version of its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace to the public. Coinbase saw just 900 transactions and 73 ETH (around $210,000) of sales volume in the debut week of its beta, though Coinbase did not say how many users had been granted access to the platform. Starbucks plans to launch a series of non-fungible token (NFT) collections, according to a company blog post published Tuesday. In addition to just NFTs, the company alluded to a full-fledged “Starbucks Digital Community Web3 platform” possibly tied to mobile payments in-store.

We know there's a lot of new Coinbase NFT platform, people jumping off that waiting list and jumping into a very interesting world of, you know, buying, selling, holding, flipping, surviving NFTs. [00:00:20] So excited to share some of our rules that might just help you. And also if you've been collecting for a bit first off, Andrew, what he's in news. [00:00:30] Hey, George Juliet. Let's see. What are we looking at out here? We've got what we talked about. This one, we've got optimism. One of the layer twos that saves you a lot on gas. They have announced. Oop he token airdrop or I'm sorry. I think it's the Opie token. But it's the token airdrop is announced. [00:00:51] They haven't actually released the token yet, but you can go on and check the amount that that maybe you are eligible for other various qualifications in here. I do like some of the things that they've done, they wanted to both check if you've used the optimism network. But also check if you've done things like vote on No snapshots on. [00:01:11] And I'm sorry if they, if you've contributed to get coins of their multipliers, if you've done multiple of these actions and those really add up. So we don't know what the value of this yet, but it is the value of the token yet, but it sounds like this will be a relatively substantial Airdropped for a lot of people and it should bring some liquidity to those options. [00:01:33] Those people that are on optimism. One note that I happened to notice the the the NFT network quixotic it's the optimism. NFT platform saw it's biggest day in volume by a large share after the news that that was coming. So there's not a lot there that interests me quite yet, but it is maybe something to, to just keep an eye on and maybe familiarize yourself with if you know, if you are getting any of that optimism, token, it could be a fun thing to to check out later on. [00:02:05] oh, I moved some money in and out of it, but I don't know if I did enough of the checklist for I'm on. [00:02:10] like the app. I can't find it, but I'm the I'm excited and, you know, we kinda knew it was coming. Well, we'll say, have you checked if you're getting any, [00:02:17] Yeah, I did. And I did qualify. So I'll say I'll get the link for so you can check this here and you can connect your wallet or put the or put another wallet address in and check that. And we'll put that in the notes. So it's exciting. [00:02:30] I drop into our discord. You'll go, well, we'll put it there and I didn't get any, I didn't, I'm not eligible. I didn't do enough. Only two transactions. I didn't go vote on. yeah, optimism, user repeat optimism, user download or multisig centers. Yeah. Donated to get coin and priced priced out of the theorem. [00:02:48] I don't even know what that means. Anyway, [00:02:50] yeah, it was, if you've moved it, if you've moved east to other layer twos, if you've used polygon and stuff. So there were other bonuses in there. Another note here is that they announced this will be the first airdrop. They do have future airdrops plan. So if you did not qualify for this, you know, not worth just It will maybe worth still using the network to qualify for a future one. [00:03:11] I think that's a great model actually, to reward people that have used it and incentivize new users. I think this could be, we're going to see a lot of, of airdrops I think coming up with these layer twos they've had a good discussion on this on bank list on the potential layer to. Wars and how they may use airdrops to incentivize usage. [00:03:34] So you know, I think it's definitely worth taking a look at you know, if it's, you know, I'm willing to to take some of their, their marketing spend as a user and, and give them a shot. [00:03:44] Yeah. And just to be clear when we talk about layer twos, I guess for the most part at the layer two is something built on layer one, but in the context of what we're talking about right now, it's layer two is built on a theorem specifically. [00:03:55] good point. Yeah. Especially on this episode is we're talking about some, some, some new things. Let's a it's a generally a much cheaper network use and Ethereum much faster. They use optimism in particular roles up many of these transactions. So they combined them into one. And then confirm these in one transaction on Ethereum, so that you get the security of having it on the Ethereum network while reducing the fees that have to be paid. [00:04:19] In optimism's case. Case the fees that you still pay a fee, there's still a big savings. So the savings that they take are put into the the public public goods portion of this, they, they use the funds to pub, to The fund public goods may S basically meaning developers, building different tools that could be used by the entire network and that are kind of needed to bring new people in. [00:04:46] So it's, you know, ideally a, a sort of a flywheel where you're using the, the funds that are saved to build new apps, bring new people in, get more people using it and increase the fees to give back to the public good society of that network. So very interesting to see here. I think we'll see more. [00:05:03] Definitely go check out if you are eligible and maybe move some ether over there, if you park and you know, be eligible for the next one. [00:05:10] Yeah, that's a good that's a good tip there. Next you have fungible heroes and if ti project signs with WME and I believe this was a past featured project of ours and non-potable heroes, right. [00:05:22] Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I thought we should mention this one. It's a, it is a past project we've mentioned. They started with, they signed with a big entertainment agency. There had been rumors of this for awhile. So there's definitely good. Seen some, some new action there. I don't know. I know a lot about what may be coming. [00:05:40] You know, I'm sure there's rumors going around the discord and all, but nothing official of, of you know, anything announced yet. But you know, we've seen some other. Collections get involved with entertainment agencies and, you know, it does give an option for for new things to come out of it. [00:05:56] You know, whether it's in film or some sort of you know, I don't know if more of a online entertainment thing, you know, that seems to be the, the play they've been going here. They published a comic book recently, and I think they have plans for another one. So could see it going that route as well. [00:06:12] Yeah worth taking a look at the floor for non-refundable heroes. The gods is at 0.07 and unfundable heroes is 0.09. If I'm reading these numbers. Right. So still in the range of affordable, but we'll be going through a spoiler, our affordable project. Keep us honest, or we're going to meet backtrack on some of those pieces. [00:06:30] So you just got your update on the. We jumped on it early. [00:06:33] Yeah. [00:06:34] This next one, this next one breaks my heart. [00:06:37] Oh, this is a tough one. So we've got a, let's see the acoustic dreams project launched in minted and it was already priced at the bleed out for Eve to get into this. It was the act Utah. Several years actually to our dreams. But anyway, there's 34 million spent on this. They were trying to do a true Dutch auction that would allow everyone to pay the same price. [00:07:02] Everyone would get everybody that paid over the final asking price would be refunded. But unfortunately the, it was not coded well. And. There's 44, 30 $4 million essentially locked away that nobody can access now. So that was the refund or I'm sorry, it's not the refunds. It's the total that was taken in by the, by the project I believe. [00:07:23] Is that right? George? [00:07:24] That's correct. In terms of the smart contract and just the guitars. This was a 3d avatar project based on Akio the original character created by a former major league baseball player, Mike and Johnson. Was inspired and thus then created a character who is a young black boy that dreams of becoming an astronaut inspired by an actual question he got from his nephew. [00:07:47] So it's like a really great story narrative here of someone bringing certainly a different perspective and audience into the land of NFTs and then a poorly coded contract. Some of the details of that, I think I almost understood it was effectively that they. You know, expected to unlock after X number of transactions, right? [00:08:07] So there's going to be 5,400 whatever transactions. And that didn't account for some people that I don't know, minted more than one in one transaction minted, two mints at three. So they never hit that number, but now all the things are gone, so they can't get more transactions. And so in forever lands, like there's 34 million worth of Eve burned and gone. [00:08:26] And, you know, they're, they're left, needing to, to refund and go about, you know, how, how you Yeah. So, I mean, unfortunately he Mike Johnson is a very successful, successful artist in the space and has brought in a lot through a, another, I think it's KU chapters of project. They are saying that they're going to, you know, make this, make this right. But obviously that is that's $34 million. [00:08:52] It could have been going towards the development of this project. And there was a lot of excitement around it. And I, you know, I'm not saying that it's, that it's done, but it's certainly a big challenge. And, you know, it's really just to pad to see because it's, you know, it is a, you know, it was a poorly coded contract, but regardless it's a, it's an unfortunate outcome. [00:09:09] Yeah, it's just, you know, we were talking about, it always seems like there's just so much news going on all the time. And I think that's in large part because we don't talk about. errors that happen in web two, we don't talk about, oh, you know, such and such, you know, site that no one really cares about wind down. [00:09:26] You're like, all right. Yeah. Went down. It was some errors. However, in web three applications, when you make a mistake, it means that your drop can literally burn millions and millions and millions of dollars to a level of which gets to a newsworthy piece. So every week it seems like, you know, if there's a hack, if there's a mistake, The stakes are just much higher in the land of what? [00:09:47] Three. [00:09:48] Yeah, the big stakes here and yeah. Always try new things and there's a danger with that, but why don't we run down some of our past affordable projects? You know, we mentioned one here already, but I think we've got some new things to, to get onto. [00:10:04] We do. So we will try to keep this somewhat quick because I'll just be honest. It took me like, I just buried my head for a month and I didn't have the time and energy to go and update the, like, you know, 60, some odd projects that we've got in here. But overall here's the game, right? We're we're tracking the date of when we actually had it on the podcast. [00:10:21] So then it's the assumed you by the floor or whatever our note is. And then you just held it. We don't even have like, oh, you sold it at its peak. Maybe we can go back and be like, oh, if he had perfect knowledge. But it's just, if you had bought it and held it. And so the total gain would have been 2.5 eith a gain of 144% on your overall piece. [00:10:42] So it's kind of, you know it's interesting and it's fun to look at. And also I think it helps me just look at it and I think everyone should do this themselves. Every time you look at a provider. Oh, I think I might buy this. I think I might buy this and we'll get this into some of our tips, like keep a track of it. [00:10:59] Cause it's very sobering. When we look back, we're not going to cover them, but there's some, you know, there's some misses in here and we, we aim small, Ms. Small, but we also invest small. So we lose small. And I think that's an important framework for, you know, all about affordable thinking. And so that said we'll go into. [00:11:20] Nifty Lee DGN. This is down off of its peak currently at 0.33, when I looked at it I don't know if there's anything new with regard to like comics we talked about that came out or pieces they're working on their. [00:11:33] I haven't heard much newer to them. It's not one that I'm very excited about at this point. I sort of moved on with that one and, you know, I think we've seen a, I don't know, we saw them try out the plater earn model and it definitely had some excitement. I think we've seen I don't know a lot of people move on from this play to earn excitement. [00:11:53] Not saying it's done, but it definitely isn't. As high in article's list. And I think that nifty, we be Gen-Z is sort of one of the other people that have tried this, and it's going to be a challenge. You know, we've talked about the challenges with, with these gaming things anyway. So it doesn't look great in my opinion, but who knows? [00:12:10] It could turn around. [00:12:11] You really don't and I think there's actually a really great lesson here of any game promise in a roadmap because they actually delivered the game. I went and played it. I moved my little character around and I bounced off the walls and it was amusing. And then I was like, do I really want to play? Like, I'll just be honest, a flash version of a game of me running around. [00:12:30] Or do I want to go jump on my Oculus and go do something more dynamic? Yeah. No. I think the brutal truth may be that, you know, layering in a web to game with your avatar running around. [00:12:40] in a, in an interface is like it's fun once, but does that really drive utility with a capital? I don't know. But we're both still holding at that's a quick summary there running down the list I say with Zed, they have a token drop coming. [00:12:56] The snapshot has already been taken, so that may open up a whole lot of new, interesting pieces of the price of courses is hilariously low. The legendary Nakamoto that I would have recommend you getting would have lost you point to eith. So I'm sorry to anyone who took that advice, but I think it's important to note that. [00:13:15] Long Zed, but I think I have to make it much longer. We had the sandbox in here which is up from one where it recommended it. But as down, certainly from its high, which is interesting to watch the sandbox come back down. So it peaked when we were tracking it, you know, about 3.3, I think it got up a little higher than that. [00:13:32] And it's currently trading at 1.6. You know, we talked about the sandbox land and that land issue. You know, as, as number go up when it comes to number of land plots, other things go down and in terms of price what's next, when you want to talk about Andrew [00:13:46] You know, we we've got some that we've just recently mentioned on here, so I don't think it's worth getting into those. Let's see. Red [00:13:54] The stars. I have a stars has been up and down and that's one that I keep looking at because I think it's one that well, I shouldn't say even up and down, it really hasn't moved all that much, you know, because it is such a low price, but I think that is you know, that's a relatively good thing for a, a project that is still. [00:14:11] Ricky reputable. So I dunno, it's still one that I keep coming back to and think maybe, maybe that could get some more attention at some point. [00:14:19] Yeah. [00:14:19] see they're out. But when it, yeah, you're right. When we look at this, there's a lot of things that just aren't. You know, they are great. And I wouldn't recommend them at this point. [00:14:28] In many cases, you know, and, and you know, I think that's something to kind of keep in mind and you know, how many of these projects are just, I don't know, lingering aren't going anywhere. And I think we have to kind of keep. keep that in mind as we go forward and picking projects, you know, are these things. [00:14:45] And I don't think that we're usually saying they're likely to take off, but you know, is it worth it at some of these with some of these small projects? And it has me thinking a little bit more. [00:14:55] Yeah, it's again, it's great to sort of look at it in the rear view mirror and maybe we'll go next time and say like, you know, would you still look at it? I made notes in here for that. I would say one thing that I've seen moving a little bit is the the Wagner w GMI, the, that sort of access to a tracking thing that we frankly love. [00:15:15] And. 0.3, three, last time I checked and you know, that, that was an interesting interesting one because it has utility. And also we're looking at utility in the sense that maybe as more. [00:15:27] people jump in and need to track more projects might be a play, but there's a lot of those coming out. I'll say in terms of, Hey, finally, a way to look at all of your all of your portfolio. [00:15:36] Yeah, I think that's that's good to keep in mind. There are, you know, just because something is doing something now you've got to remember, will they be the ones or will they be the only one doing that? Will they be the leader in that area? And that's something that I'm trying to keep in mind going forward here. [00:15:53] Know, maybe we could get into some of the discussion in another, another episode, but, you know, I think if it is good to look back through this and see, you know, what has you know, what has been a success, what hasn't. And I think it's, you know, we'll also get into some of the, our rules to keep in mind when you're doing this, because, you know, you've got to know your timeline and, and understand what your, you know, what you hold and, and kind of what you're looking for out of the project. [00:16:18] And in many cases, [00:16:20] Yeah, last one. I'll say, cause I could go on for, I mean, I actually keep up on a lot of these, but I'll, I'll leave it with human park actually had their drop, which was a really cool interactive metaverse type of style coming out of the land of. Zed, but it's a different project being run by that, that studio over there. [00:16:37] But the floor is currently pointing to three, five, but frankly was zero. They dropped it for free. All you had to do is design one and they sent it to you. So, you know, the cost basis can't be beat. And I also think there's something to be said for the original batch of these nudes as they call them these avatars that are part of the original batch. [00:16:56] And so it's still affordable if you missed it. I still think there's a window and they have a, a pretty impressive. At a pretty impressive start and roadmap out of them. knew that you would not throw a dart out here. Should we get into it? [00:17:07] I think let's get into our rules, our seven rules of jumping into NFV fees for all those new collectors coming in. Huh? [00:17:16] Okay, let's do it. Number one, be aware of scams and rugs. We talk about this quite a bit, but this means to me that when you are looking at pressing mint or pressing buy on whatever platform you're looking at, you should double check the site. You should. Double-check the discord official links section official links section. [00:17:34] You should go on to other platforms, other NFT platforms, and just confirm that that collection looks like the collection that you're buying in. And always assume the first thing you have found when searching on open seat is a scam because the scams are literally optimizing themselves to show up in that feed. [00:17:52] I think that's a good number one. [00:17:54] Yes, scams are everywhere. Everywhere. Don't click on links ever. I mean, [00:18:01] Don't trust us, Trust us, [00:18:03] trust there. If I don't trust there, if [00:18:06] trust, but verify. [00:18:07] know, really verify, you know, make sure that you, so there's a lot of things you can do. You can look at the contract. If you're trying to admit something, get the contract address, go into ether, scan, put it in there. [00:18:18] If you like, this is, if you don't understand what that means, don't mint. Don't mint. Okay. If you do make sure that you're looking at the current. Address and just check that there's actually activity there. That's a big, big, a very easy way to just see that it is a valid contract. And if you aren't sure in any situation, I mean, there's situations where you're getting the link directly from discord and you see it as official links and it matches up with everything else. [00:18:44] Well, you just do it three times, but assume that there's someone trying to scam you every time you do something and in NFTs, [00:18:52] Correct. Yeah. Check the domain you're going against. And so even after saying this, you're probably not checking enough. Number two, ease in hot wallets is risky. What do I mean? The amount of ease that you're carrying around in your wallet, in your hot wallet, while it just means that the thing that you're using to authenticate on different sites, we know we talked about web three applications, like. [00:19:12] Is if that can be immediately quickly accessed, anytime you click a click, a contract. And so that, you know, one thing could be gas accidents, meaning that like, oh gosh, my gas I had, I was playing with my settings or it's a, it was a weird time to buy something and gas was absurdly high and was like twice the price of the thing I was trying to buy, but I had to buy it so quickly. [00:19:31] I just clicked because we're trained to click quick. And so one of the things that can save you and does it happen to me is like, I don't keep much in my hot wallet and I accidentally pressed the thing that would have been an extra thousand dollars in gas. And like had I had that in there, it would have cost me that much that transaction would have gone through. [00:19:50] So I actually deliberately keep a small amount or a smaller amount of E in my hot. Just for that sort of, you know, to thine own self be true. Cause I clicked quickly. The other mentality piece here is that having Ethan in a hot wallet is kind of like running around with chips at a. You're just a little bit more like likely to quickly put it on black by this quick thing you can FOMO in so fast. [00:20:15] Oh, it's right here. But if you have to force yourself to move from system one to system two, thinking, meaning you take more than 30 seconds to think about it. It can, it can force you. So think about that, that kind of difference. Any other nuance on this tip? [00:20:30] Yeah, I think that, I mean, that's like in part is, is good. Just a mentality that you don't have it right there available. It takes a little bit extra. He even takes maybe some, some gas to actually have to move it, not such a bad thing. And just separating things, you know, even as a, you know, putting it all in one, one. [00:20:48] It means that if that wallet, if something happens to that wallet, you're really at risk having five separate wallets, not such a bad thing. If one does get hacked, not saying that, you know, you want one to get ever get heck, but it is, you know, it's a way to, and to help help keep yourself a little bit safer. [00:21:06] Okay. Number three, pretend to buy your first three NFTs and see how they would have done do your own. Keep your, you know, keep yourself on. Hypothetically do it. You know, when I was when I was a kid actually like I think some of us had this like go, you know, you had this pretend stock, stock picking and stock market where you'd like, pick your thing and track it. [00:21:27] I think you should do the same thing and just realize what would have happened, you know, give yourself a budget and be like, I'm going to hypothetically, you know, start my own investment thing and I'm going to put three down. I'm going to put one eighth into it and then see how you would have done. And I think you'll realize like, oh my gosh, if you just get rubbed once you're like, well, this is interesting. [00:21:44] What did I miss? What did I get? Right. So I would say play it as a game first before you play it with with real, with real stakes, if possible. [00:21:52] Yeah, absolutely. I think that is, you know, it, it helps you to understand where you're buying it. Are you buying it at the right point? Are you just doing it? Because it was pumped by an influencer at the right time, or you being somebody else, you know, are you there exit liquidity as, as, as often said, you know, you don't want to be in that situation and learn if you are following the right people. [00:22:13] And that is, you know, that's not easy to say who the right people are. It takes time. I would say to, to understand, and I, I don't know. On social media, but who are you looking at? Who are the people that you trust in the space and go slowly because you know, the people that are worth trusting, aren't going to make it are generally going to just show up and tell you that it's a FOMO event. [00:22:35] You know, and maybe that's getting into our next one. Here is FOMO certainly plays a part in this game. [00:22:41] I think for FOMO, it is, it is the currency. It's the emotional currency of a lot of these projects. And so one thing to think about anytime you're about to buy is consider the opportunity cost of that money. Let's say you're going to mend something for 0.3. Well, look at least several other projects that are out there. [00:22:59] That what else could you get for points? You know, could you go and get an avatar, look through our affordable list and be like, there's still some stuff there that might be worth shopping. It may not be as hyped in the moment. It may be in a cooler sort of state in terms of launching what's going. But I would say, look at look at that to tie it, try to tamp down your FOMO. [00:23:20] I know for sure this would have helped me so much. If one of my rules is just like, before you buy, what else could you buy with this money to spend five minutes? Well, and then suddenly it was like, oh, because what's going to happen is you get sucked into another rabbit hole and then you get to like compare next [00:23:36] that's a good point. There's always another collection. There's then there's another one coming. They're making more of these things. There may be some rarity to that in that collection in itself, but there's another collection coming and you can keep your teeth ready for that. [00:23:50] No, your timeline, just going into a project. Are you going to hold all this thing or photo of this thing? I mean, fold for dear life, you know, you're just trying to flip for deal life or hold it. So it's just a mentality and just acknowledge that. [00:24:01] upfront. I can, I can say I make the error of getting into a thing and then getting too attached to it and not flipping it when I probably should have. [00:24:09] Yeah, I think that's really. And to put in there, you know, are you trying, are you looking at this as a short-term flip, are you looking at this as something that you're ready to hold for, you know, for a year or longer and try to understand that when you're buying it, because it really, you know, if you do think it's a short-term flip and the price goes wrong, you know, maybe that is time to just go ahead and get. [00:24:28] Quickly because it's not one that you want to be holding for it long-term at that point. And you know, it's too bad, but sometimes you do have to do that, you know, on the other hand, it's I like getting into ones that I'm much more comfortable holding for a year. And oftentimes those. Going to appreciate quite as fast for whatever reason they're there. [00:24:48] They're slower. They aren't the quick ones. It seems, you know, we do see that momentum plays a big a big role in NFTE. So those longer ones don't always get that that same mentality from everyone. [00:25:00] next one. I have. Come up with your own rubric, consider what your rubrics is. The checkbox of that you have, we have a checklist that involves judging the team, judging the community, the art and the utility, some combination of that saying, okay, there's a balance here. And sometimes it's weighted toward one or the other, but come up with your rubric of what you think and then try to apply it and just acknowledge that like, oh, this checks some of these boxes, but maybe I'm compromising on the team, which is not done. [00:25:29] Okay. That's minus one. So, you know, have some fun and develop your own methodology. [00:25:34] Yeah, absolutely. And think about how, what you also have, you know, you don't need to obsess illegally, double or triple down and have different the same, or have collections that are doing the same thing over and over. If you, if you have some that are much more focused on art, you may want. And I've made a better portfolio and have some that are more utility-based, you know, and start thinking about those. [00:25:56] But I would say, always look at the team behind the project, no matter what that is extremely important. Look at that team. We've talked about whether docs or undocks is the right way to go. There are, you know, in most cases we believe docs is way better and certainly having a, a track record of success. [00:26:15] Pretty much a requirement. So look for these things and no matter what you do, make sure that it's a team that's going to stick around and be at this. [00:26:23] Love it. And you got a number seven for us. [00:26:25] Yeah. Well, I mean, maybe it's just putting a lot of these together, but slow down, you gotta slow down, be aware of the hot tips. There's people telling you things that are, they are telling you this to get you to do something in the moment. Feel like you got to go, go buy that right away. Cause there's only so much time. [00:26:44] And it turns out at the same time they're actually selling happens all the time. Be careful and really slow down and think, is it something that you want to hold? You know, as we've mentioned, is there another option out there? Most of these collections are going to go to zero. We're going to see if there's, there's going to be some big winners. [00:27:02] We've seen some huge winners and we've seen some, some mediocre winners and we've seen so many scams and some, so many legit projects that just aren't going to make it and it's too bad, but you've got to know that and be. Just be wary, slow down. Take your time. [00:27:21] Yeah. And I would say even, not even the malfeasance there, cause it Can come from a friend who's intends to hold, but here's, here's the, the social nuance of somebody giving you a hot tip. It means that the project is getting toward a boiling point, a tipping point, a social proof layer that enough people have told a friend to tell a friend. [00:27:40] That, you know, not saying it's a Ponzi scheme, but there's a point at which that falls off the edge and new buyers aren't coming in. And so if somebody is giving you this sort of excited tip, like, oh, go do this thing right now. How many people you have to just realize, have been told the same thing prior to you hearing us, which means where are you on the hype cycle of this project? [00:28:00] And a lot of times I've found that even I'll just shout out to myself when I've gotten really excited about a project, that's like hype, it's like pumping. I'm like, oh my God, everyone's talking. Yeah. I'm not the first to know. I'm not the one who knows at that level. I'm usually when I'm the one, I'm the one who gets it. [00:28:16] Right. Like even with the gray boys, I just got lucky. I threw a dart at that and it would probably be like, we're going back to that. One of the better hits. But I got lucky with that. I didn't know anything. I was like, I guess like, all right. If that thing goes up, that thing will go up. I didn't know, in the moment. [00:28:29] So keep in mind. If somebody is excited saying, you have to do this now, it probably means 1700 other people have already followed suit and you might be at the like price you. [00:28:41] know, price, inflection point, which is a dangerous place to play. [00:28:45] Yeah, that's a good point. No, that you are generally not the first one to hear the news. So there are other people playing on that news and selling on the house, on the news, on the room or whatever it may be. We know that a hype is a big thing in NFTs. And the news when it is delivered is often not, not so not so good for a pro projects, Bryce. [00:29:06] Well, that's what we got for you. We always remind you in the show closing, but you know, don't risk, which you can't afford to lose. Andrew. You said it most, I will say it pretty confidently. 90% of the projects are going to go to zero. And even you can look at our, our list are our scoreboard. You can look at it. [00:29:25] We kind of know a little bit about this stuff, I'd say. And even still with us throwing darts that are somewhat informed as best we can look, we, we missed on some of these, you know, they're, they're down, some are out. But it's fun. So keep in mind, these are JPEGs on the internet that we call web three, Andrew. [00:29:46] Thanks for helping us with this. [00:29:48] All right. Good talking, George. [00:29:51] Good talk. Good luck out there.

We finally get to talk about Coinbase NFT time. It is time to speculate. I'm so excited. Your mic is not on. All right. Well, we have been talking about it. We already, I feel like, and now we finally get to to talk about it with a little more substance, but we're in based NFD has launched and at least in beta, what does it all mean? [00:00:29] Basil? What does it actually mean? It's launched. That means we can all get access, right? Andrew, like we can log in right now and start using it, right? Not exactly. Yeah. I'm not clear how many people actually have access to this. [00:00:39] Small as a hundred people, which may be ridiculous if it's that, then they really got to clean up the spam. They can literally just point out. Who's stop it. Stop it, John. You're the only John on the platform. Stop it. Well, anyway, I think that it's obviously big news and it came on on April 20th. [00:01:01] You know, on a date that there are many other I dunno, and Ft, shenanigans launching all sorts of projects themed for the day. And I'm not sure why Coinbase did it that day, but they did seem to wait maybe for the you know, I'm sure they were doing some regulatory issues, the official, why they had to use that date, but, well, no I'm saying I'm sure there were some things going on behind the scenes. [00:01:26] And then you do wonder if maybe their crypto experience led them. Launching that post NF, I mean, post a us tax deadline time. I mean, they do know how that tends to affect the crypto markets. Yeah, that's right. I mean, frankly, it didn't obviously moves a lot of money around. It usually causes a lot of sell-offs in equities and that probably extends to NFT markets as well. [00:01:50] So like we're finally through this. Terrifying annoying, wait and see tax time. So maybe this is like kicking off a, a new start, but we'll get to some more of like the speculation on what we can tell. Cause neither one of us have an account. The other big thing that happened in the last week and we were talking about it. [00:02:07] Oh man. This was the inverts moon, birds. We thought it would be big, right? We thought it would be big and somehow it was bigger. So I'm just going to like this is a Kevin Rose project coming out of the proof collective and proof podcast. And, you know, there's you know, it's a utility it's utility token gives you access and they're going to build them. [00:02:31] It's. It's copy paste a roadmap. Like we'll have a metaverse we'll have a thing, except it's being done by somebody who was the founder of big who's used to executing. Who's built up an audience of whales. So it's, it's ridiculous. Can you give us some numbers? Cause I'm just using abstract. Can you put it in context? [00:02:48] In terms of how big this launch was? Right. So I guess we should start by saying this minted. Two and a half Eve. And it was a, I think we mentioned this previously, but it was a raffle, only a white list. So I don't know how many entrance they had, but you know, if you were on that, it was like winning a lottery spot because they immediately were going for 80 or so I think nine Eve by the w. [00:03:12] Lowest for that I saw. And at that point I I thought that maybe that was a little overvalued and thought I would have a chance to get in at a lower price and they just kept on climbing. They've done. Let's see, the first four days they set a new open, see record. 240 million traded. The initial, it should say the initial sale brought in about 78 million directly. [00:03:36] So that's that's certainly going to get the attention of other other people with maybe the following or network that someone like Kevin Rose has and the experience that he needs, someone like that has. I'm sure they will look at that 78 million. In you know, a matter in a very short period of time, you know, as, as we know that there was a lot of buildup to that. [00:03:55] But that is an impressive Mount. And now they've got 240 million traded. They are taking, and I believe, I believe it's a seven and a half percent cut of the of the, of each sale there. So I thought they were. Oh, I believe it's seven and a half. Let's see. So I could be wrong, but let's say that, you know, even at the so I guess we're at about 18 million, they've taken in at seven and a half percent on that 240 million. [00:04:23] Although I believe that I've looked at a number just recently and it's, they've done a good number, a good number more than that. I believe it's up over maybe 400. 15 million now versus five days. So we're talking about crazy numbers. It's, I don't know. It's, it's done much more than I anticipated, as I said, you know, I do feel like that train has left the boat at this PO but the boat left the station at this point for me. [00:04:51] And I missed that one. Unfortunately, you know, but I do think. You know, it's hard, it's hard to, hard to surmise that this won't influence a lot of other people to launch projects like this. I can't imagine that many will come even close to the success of this project, but you know, you can, there's a lot of wiggle room in there to do quite well without getting to a 30th floor. [00:05:12] Yeah, look, we're going to dive into a lot of the implications of this. You know, we were, we were both sort of like we had parked some ease and I think we both have a, I had a reservation price. I'll say my reservation price was five eighth. Had those things gotten to five eith I would have pulled the trigger and it was, I just feel so frustrated that I was like, I knew it was coming. [00:05:34] I knew it was going to be big. I knew it would be a worthwhile investment, but I like looking at it. I can't be angry for no. Blindly pulling the trigger at eight E like, I can't, I can afford it, but like that's, we're talking about a massive investment in a startup company, right. In essence, that is been around for a year. [00:05:55] Like the proof collective has been around for you. We can get into it. But I dunno, I was frustrated because I really wanted to get one. I felt like I had followed the project prior. I knew about doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. So, yeah, that train left and. I I'll just be S I'll save it for the next episode. [00:06:13] I'll save it for next episode. Well, it's a, yeah, it's impressive. So yeah, we will have to talk about that some more, get into that with what this means, you know, there's a lot going on still. You know, at this point we've just seen that floor climb and of course, we'll keep, keep watching where it goes, because I think it does have a lot of implications for the NMT marketplace. [00:06:32] You know, or they'd have to market as a whole moving forward. Small one here, the sandbox years up to raise 400 million at a 4 billion valuation. It's really strikes me as a lot of money. Yeah. I mean, I I'm gearing up for that too. Does this mean they have someone ready to, to give them that money? [00:06:51] I mean, that, that is a, that's a big valuation. I feel like it's a sandbox has been somewhat overlooked. Recently it seems alphabet with NFP world sort of taking over that. Voxel, like building in the don't know, with sort of a gaming aspect to it, but but clearly their wealth, they're still at least attempting to get 400 million. [00:07:11] That would be a, an impressive raise. Okay. Yeah. All right. I say we jump into an affordable project. You found us something interesting. I'm excited. I know nothing about this thing and I hope you don't pre. Well, we'll see, I hope you don't get me to buy another thing, but right now, just full disclosure, I don't own any of these things. [00:07:30] Do you own any of these fellowships? I do. Yeah. So this is so it's called fuel world. It's fuel paint drops. A few OSHA's is a young NFTE artist. Believe he got started in an FTR last year, 17 years old 18 now does a lot of, I mean, he does a lot of paintings including in real life painting projects where people can even kind of participate in some of the paintings, but very influential artist. [00:07:58] I think he's in. That we'll we'll sort of help. We'll help bring a lot of people into the space. He's got quite a following and as an artist really seems to influence people to want to want to interact with the pieces. So. Does paint drop was actually a nifty gateway, which I'm sure Georgia, you know, won't like but it was a, let's see, it was an open edition originally. [00:08:22] And each paint drop was 1000 was $1,000. There are paint drops that, so there's paint dry. That are multiple drops within them. So if somebody had bought maybe three at the at the nifty gateway auction, they were then minted into a single NFT that then contains three paint drops. So if you look at the collection, you'll see different paint, drop sizes. [00:08:48] Most of them are, are of course, just one single paint drop the total collections about 7,300 pieces. So that includes all of the different Large, a larger size paint drops that were amended in the NFT PR in the original open edition collection. Excuse me. So the, they are going to be part of a fuel world. [00:09:10] There's not a ton of details on what that exactly means at this point. But they, the, the paint and the amount of pink in your drop will sort of be, will this determine how valuable it is within the world can be redeemed for different Different things within the world. He does a lot of clothing has had a lot of like shoes done. [00:09:30] Some drops with artifact, a company we've mentioned the past and it's now owned by Nike. So I would imagine there'll be some opportunities to. Redeem for different pieces maybe to combine these pieces. So I think this is a longer term, hold the floors around 0.4 eith right now, which let's see today's traces. [00:09:54] Let's see how much that is over the over the original mid price. What do we got here? So, yeah, we're just a little bit. It looks like 1300 or so. So it's a little bit over the floor. I've seen some, some people buying them in bigger batches, but, you know, I think he can be patient and be able to pick them up for not much over the mid price. [00:10:13] And I think it is one that would be a longer-term hold good to get exposure to a young artist. And I think it'll be an interesting project. The future world. You know, whatever that is launched, you know, have to stay abreast of the, the infer, their info there, but could be interesting to see what he does with that. [00:10:29] Yeah. It seems like there's also an access element to this as well. If you go to that site, fuel world, that IO. So this is like is their first generative and it's definitely like talking about. You know, giving access to future potential drops unlock things and fewer world, including canvas and fuels. [00:10:51] So like definitely not just a PFP, how it say ER, it looks kind of cool and yeah, I mean betting on young artists and, you know, sort of first community level. Is interesting little pricey for, for affordable. And I always like you, you joked, you're like, oh boy, it's from nifty gateway. Like yes, nifty gateway, ha I have some issues with it. [00:11:15] But it's great for on-ramping. It is great for pulling in new artists. And also recently I realized, I didn't know this before that they actually found. Like they convinced people to do. And I did not, I did not know that actually that's so they've they've certainly brought that that's certainly a win for the NMT industry in general. [00:11:36] I mean, it's hard to imagine that that everything that has happened this past year would have happened without people's. With, I don't know, let me say, I mean, not certain things would have happened. He certainly helped bring a lot of attention to the industry and a lot more money into it. Correct. I think he accelerated the sort of Christie's level game for sure. [00:11:56] Which then sort of imbued the rest of the artists capital a, that we're working for a long time originally in the medium, also that lift. So again I, I will say. Just to come back to the statement though, when I look at a piece that I saw an open edition mint on nifty, it means it's saturated the market of people that value the thing at X price. [00:12:20] And we've even seen that with our own holdings in our X copy pieces, which are like oscillating above and below mid price right now. And that's fine. So that is just stuck firmly in the back of my mind of like, this was an open edition. Probably for 10 minutes and it's saturated the market. Now the floor does seem to be holding in and around this point here. [00:12:42] So like that post, like, it looks like it dropped on on April six and it did have a little peak trough kind of game there. So take a look at it and remember like go back and listen to one of our thin versus thick floors on this. But this is. It's relatively one other note I would look at if I were to get it. [00:13:03] If I were advising someone to get one of these, look at the doodle count, there is some rarity there, and sometimes you can find most of the one page. Drops are single doodle count, and I don't know how much this will matter, but the there, the two doodle counts are much rarer and are often sort of the hidden in there at the floor price despite being much rarer. [00:13:30] So I think there is an opportunity to maybe pick those up When people don't quite realize that there is a difference between them you know, and it may not mean anything in the fuel world, but it could. And I started that and I think it could at least help in a when selling it once people start realizing there is a different level of rarity to those, oh, this is awesome. [00:13:50] Good job bringing us up. I'm definitely gonna look at it. And again, just shut out. Like when I'm going to look at it I'm not sure yet, but I like that. It's not just a PFP. I'm looking for things with utility. I'm looking for artists capital a, that are going to be in the game and build up a style and brand. [00:14:06] And yes, I definitely have heard ferocious come up a bit. I'm also gonna use the wagging tool to like, do exactly what you said. Look for the. It was called a trait gap Delta and looking at the trait gap deltas. So it basically means there's like a whole bunch of mini floors based on all of these silly traits. [00:14:22] Some of them don't mean anything. And some of them actually mean that you can find something that has I high Delta, right? You want that large difference between like where it's listed at the low versus the next highest price which can get a little junked up when you have a ton of. Traits, but it's worth taking a look at. [00:14:41] So just sort of sharing a bit more of like what it means when kind of look at a project because each one is unique and we could spend forever on it. But thank you for bringing that to us. Very interesting. All right, well, let's move on because we finally get to talk about Coinbase NFT marketplace. [00:14:58] I was, it, this was like announced. Nate the chatter around, I believe it was, I think it was no fun a year in crypto township, you know, six months. Exactly. That's the fuck, man. That's a long time ago, you know, we've had, we've had multiple seasons. There was a bear market in December, you know, and then we had the rally in January and then we had another bear market and another rally. [00:15:22] And I don't know what we're at now, but it, it moves fast. So we've got a few cycles here since. Launched. It is the, as we mentioned, it's a beta, so we haven't actually gotten to list or, you know, use it directly, but you can actually use the, you can go onto it. Anyone can go on to the to the site and try out certain aspects of it. [00:15:41] So yeah, what's your, what's your impression, George? A bunch of things. One, anybody can go to NFT dot Coinbase dot. And I'd encourage you to go there and click on the things. There's a lot that I feel like I can Intuit by looking at the UX decisions. And so some of, some of these pieces are, there's a discover section, right? [00:16:02] Where they're trying to use this as an editorial, very clearly an editorial driven kind of thing. But also there's going to be like a for you section so that maybe they're going to curate NFTs based on what's in your wallet, as well as trending collections. And then there's a very interesting. Accounts to follow, and that really speaks to the social second, cause this is a platform for a social second type of utility. [00:16:28] And it's much more of kind of like an Instagram vibe meets open sea, which is very interesting. My mind immediately goes to the way that, you know, if you use Venmo, it made PayPal social, and suddenly you have this like funny feed of like, oh, so-and-so pay them for. Gambling or beers. What have you? This seems very clear that because they have this like little add button and it's like add an ad to follow for, you know, they got the blue check marks, even they even have the blue check marks. [00:17:00] So I think you see a much stronger profile first type of imagery, which means they're associating and bringing in an FTS as the primary medium of sort of the social post. Yeah, I agree. This is it. It seems very social. I wouldn't say social maybe first, but social forward. And much it's something that people have maybe, I don't know. [00:17:26] So he'll ask for an open seat, you know, and then I think a lot of people are also wary of opening it up to. To the opening up these social aspects, because I mean, as we've seen on on Twitter and even in emails, there's certainly a lot of potential for for, for deceitful links that being said, you know, if they're ready to actually monitor and, and, you know, clean up what is posted on their marketplace, you know, I think it could be a very interesting feature to add in here. [00:17:58] And you know, obviously we've seen that Instagram is quite successful by they let people share pictures. Comment on them. So I, you know, adding some of that into the NFT world, which is so visual as it is, could certainly be. I do think it's interesting that despite the the sort of social forward part of this, that it's, there's, from what I've seen, there are complaints about people registering accounts without any sort of verification or account names without any verification. [00:18:26] So you've had in certain instances, some sort of web them, sorry, that's some sort of NFT Twitter. Personalities being faked on the NFL, on the Coinbase platform. And those names inside of one case, it's a name being held for, you know, held for some, you know, read some of that type of price. And, you know, that's a little disappointing that there wouldn't be a little bit more engagement with the current community. [00:18:52] I mean, it's, it's not that hard to go and find who are some of the big influencers in And if T Twitter and, you know, in various other places and at least make sure that those people are verified on the, on the platform, because I think that would go a long way to helping people have more security on the, on the platform in general, the mistakes that are going to be made. [00:19:14] I think it's really smart, albeit frustrating that there's a limited number of people in here because frankly, if, if something is wrong with the contract, something is wrong with. They probably want to figure it out in a small contained environment rather than 3.7 million over 4 million. Now, probably on this week. [00:19:32] It's just, yeah, that's what I've heard. I've heard over 4 million, so yeah, it'll, you know, it's hard to imagine that they can, you know, how they will be able to monitor comments in a, in a way that I don't know it in a way that keeps users safe. So I'm wary of, of how that works out. You know, we've seen that. [00:19:51] How hard it is to kind of monitor what, what things are being posted around on social sites. On many other occasions and, you know, although 4 million is nothing compared to those networks, that's still a lot of people that could be posting and very difficult for one platform to, to fully monitor, I believe. [00:20:09] Yeah. I would say the overall UX is. It's clean. It is a very visual, obviously the point of it is to get out of the way of the beautiful, weird, bizarre art that you have. And so I I'm impressed really with just how clean this is. Maybe that's to a fault, as you may miss some of the features you are used to in terms of being able to dial into a project, but it is really accessible, I'd say, which is what you need. [00:20:39] For that larger adoption, because I'll be honest, even still with all the open sea updates, it's still very wild west and easy to make mistakes. Also. There's comments. Did you see this on individual? So that's part of what I was referring to. Yes. And that comments that are being left there. So I've seen a lot of negative comments being left with other people's real names and that's, you know, that's a little, I don't think that's a great user experience for anyone. [00:21:06] So, you know, that's what I would hope would get cleaned up in some ways. But yeah, like you said, it is it's, it's very visually pleasing. I do like that there is some I don't know, curation to this. It's not complete, not any contract will just automatically be listed here. At least that's what I've understood. [00:21:27] But Han looking through the comments, it's, it's a lot of junk in there. So we'll see if that can, you know, how much that adds to it and it, you know, if it gets to a point that it's not, I don't know. I'm not sure what they'll be used for. I'm not sure if, if there's a lot that it can, that can be positive out of that for these NMT collections that I don't know. [00:21:48] It's not like you're looking at one piece of art that needs to be criticized. Yeah. I know. Obviously, like everyone's trying to pump their own bags and, you know, go about unleashing their discord armies on no, this or that. So it's definitely something that's going to be. Manipulated quite a bit because there's both social and financial incentives in play. [00:22:09] And also remember the internet. I'm trying to think, you know, my first approach here was to kind of browse through this shop section and just get a feel for what's getting posted. And frankly, like what is at the front door, right. Like, so I look at that front door and trying to figure out what are people going to be driven toward potentially as like, oh, what makes sense from like first person? [00:22:32] As in like, what will potentially benefit from a reasonable floor for a good project that is listed here and I'm having a hard time kind of getting that because I get trending collections, which is just not helpful. It's like, yeah, okay. Go buy a moon bird. And like, that's not what people are gonna do go to shop. [00:22:51] And one of the things I did is like, look at price lowest. I could imagine people doing that because there's limited numbers of. Features. So that'll say like, okay. And I'm trying to look for anything of quality in this like lowest list NFTE, because again, this many people wander into a new store, they have access to capital. [00:23:10] Like what they're going to do is shop this. So I'm trying to figure out if there's an angle on analyzing the UX and what's listed and picking up any of these projects. I haven't found any alpha yet. I might have some in the next podcast, but I'm I'm looking around. What do you think. Well, yeah, I guess there is something there, you know, I don't know how much the, you know, how much the collection or, you know, what's offered on the platform will change as they evolve and as they start letting new people in you know, I obviously didn't, haven't heard much about the plans of actually opening up the marketplace to more users. [00:23:42] So we don't know. You know, at this point, I would imagine it's a pretty small amount of volume that's being done on the platform. You know, and that's, that's going to change, you know, as we've mentioned in the past, and there's a Coinbase effect to tokens and we've, we've talked about how that can happen with NFTs as well. [00:24:01] And, you know, the idea is just more exposure to more users is generally very positive for. Dogan for a NFT collection, especially one that is already doing well. So I think that that's, you know, we're going to, I think it is worth watching what happens here. You know, I think it may be somewhat early to start making our, our plans of which projects may may be featured once they open it up to more people. [00:24:28] Because we really don't know that part yet. You know, we really don't. I'm really interested in this sort of discovery though. There's something here and this for you, I don't think should be sort of overlooked. I'm talking about nfte.coinbase.com/discover the discovery element because what is that the top of, for you for the 40 you discovery page right now? [00:24:50] Just curious or what are some cold blooded creepy? Okay. I've just, I mean, I imagine this is a personalized feed here. Is that, how can I, cause I'm not signed in, but it seems to like, it's like changed. It's true. Yeah. That's a, that's a good point. I'm not signed in either, so I don't have a wallet. Then I see a doodles. [00:25:10] Then I see a psychedelic stuff personalized to me at all. No big projects, but, so here's what I'll say. Why that's interesting to me is because. There are more individual NFTs listed on open sea than there are. I've heard this like pages on the internet, right. Websites on the internet because it has proliferated so much. [00:25:33] So that means that discovery is sort of this huge opportunity. And like, I'm wondering, is this going to be algorithmically generated editorially driven based on my price range based on. What interests and, you know, it's similar to the way many, I think artists have found potential success because they are, you know, in an EDM category that gets picked up and they get added to playlists. [00:25:56] And so paying attention to how this sort of curates, not just at an individual level, but macro, it may be like, this is like the, the front page of aol.com when you land on it. It may actually carry some, some influence there. So again, I don't have the. I don't have the next tech action, but this is like what I'm seeing. [00:26:16] When I look at the page and potentially extrapolating about what 3.74 million users do when they wander into this? What the heck should I buy? Like what year is interesting? Right. I th I think one thing that's important to take into consideration is kind of the level of user that will be coming in here. [00:26:35] You know, we're not as much talking about the early adopter, the, the, the person that's as willing to put up with with some of the technical challenges, you know, I think they're trying to overcome that. I don't feel like there's going to be a whole lot of, I think there's. Multiple chains listed on here eventually. [00:26:53] And it's not going to be a whole lot of impetus on the user to figure out the technical challenges. It definitely feels like it's made to make it easy much like Coinbase has made crypto easy for someone to just connect their bank account, put some money into a token. You know, now I don't know how many tokens are on there. [00:27:09] It used to be a very small number to make it simple. You know, but I think that's kind of the approach that they're going to take here. Relatively simple to get started. You can get, make it friendly, make it for the next that next wave of adopters that are curious, but somewhat hesitant right now. [00:27:27] And it's, it is a very different I'd say it's a different user mindset than, than the average open, see user opens the users are, are, you know, have been more willing to take those risks and are on these, you know are willing to put up with maybe the problems. But this will be a new, you know, it will have a lot of influence where, how will they direct attention for people that aren't thinking quite as Quite the same way as other users that maybe are thinking of in the verify, you know, trust, but verify sort of mentality. [00:27:59] That's more accepted on web three and, or sorry in like the I don't know, in the open web three then these sort of dated marketplaces. Yeah. I I'm just, you know, I'm excited. I wonder how quickly they're going to roll this. Yeah. Yeah. That'll, that'll be interesting. I mean, I'm sure that some of that depends on how it's going and the feedback and everything, but yeah, that we've got to watch this now because you figured that it's, we're not going to see those long delays of, you know, something soon and then hearing nothing for, for six weeks at this point. [00:28:33] Yeah. Well, they they're in the game, they're in the game now and it's going to impact them. And it will be bringing in more liquidity, more liquidity to more projects. Yeah. I don't know what it means in terms of the NFD marketplace, but I do know their, their stock has not been doing well since its IPO. [00:28:54] I believe it's quite low, so I could definitely see them trying to use this to instigate a little bit more action in. Stock. I, you know, I can't, I have no idea exactly how that would all come into play, but it seems like NFTs are. Sort of being used as a way to to bring back some of the the forward thinking growth mindedness of investors that has sort of fallen by the wayside recently. [00:29:26] Oh my gosh. You're not kidding. The past year. It's down 53%. That's ouch. Ouch, ouch. Currently Yetta. Yeah. Right. Should have actually, instead of this, stuck on a button. Although, I don't know, a year ago, you may, you may still be down. I don't know what the price, not 53% though. I can tell you that. No, not that much. [00:29:47] All right. I'm just looking through the show notes. Oh, KYC. I had a note. I know your customer stuff may be in play for some of these projects though, if you're coming. So here's the game. If you're authenticating and coming from Coinbase, right. And they're managing your wallet and this is like a management. [00:30:03] It's KYC. They know that they know your information and you know that they know that. Which has tax implications and reporting and just know that going in. However, they also, from a report I heard are allowing for just connection via meta mask in the, I have the Coinbase wallet. Right. That's interesting. [00:30:22] Right. So that's like, okay, that's a, that's the side door. So part partially KYC there. And it seems like any projects, you know, once you're in the door, you can kind of be listing stuff. I thought it was going to be much more. Curated, but from what the list I just looked at, it seems a lot more open than I realized. [00:30:40] And yeah, if you're checking out on an individual project, it's, it's nowhere near sort of where you need it to be for filters and like, understanding like what's going on with the product. It's like really feature lacking when it comes to like, Well, we were just talking about it, right? Hey, look at this, you know, filter on the attribute for number of doodles associated with it. [00:31:00] Like none. No, no, none of that's there yet or who knows if it's there or not, and maybe they're going to rely on other pieces. And in the back of my mind, you know, just to put my own bags here the Wagni tool like comes into, you know, hand quite quickly when you're saying like, look, I need something to analyze what's going on. [00:31:19] I see. There's like interesting things going on. Coinbase, but I like, I want to check out what's going on with these traits and details. So these third-party tools I think we'll have a run-up of interest as well when people realize like, wait a minute, like, what is this project actually doing? What are the traits? [00:31:37] What are the angles? Who are the holders? And it's also going to drive up, I think, speculation based on influencers, on the activity of influencers and being able to track whale, wallets, and like their moves are just going to be much more. Associated with, for example, like Elan tweets about buying Twitter and suddenly shit goes wild. [00:31:55] Like, look, if pump punk, you know, X number, whatever, tweet something, or now a NFT posts, something in their feed. I think it's going to be much more about like alerts and people paying attention to it. So there may be a, a greater consolidation around these NFT influencers. W I have an episode theme for that in the future. [00:32:16] All right. We'll have to get onto that later. I think we have covered everything on this one, George. We did it Coinbase up. I can't believe we did this episode. I was so happy when it came. I didn't, I beat, I beat you to it. I was like, ah, I posted it in our discord. So yeah. Join us in discord. We have conversations about this, you know, tell us where we're right. [00:32:37] Tell us where we're wrong. But if you're going to. A five-star rating, please do it on whatever app you're listening to. If you're going to leave a three-star like just leaving the discord, just let us know. All right. Thanks. All right. Bye George.

Today's episode is inspired by a Coinbase_NFT twitter space that went down with special guest Gary Vaynerchuk where he highlighted many different aspects of NFTs, trends and focused a lot on helping the 1.3k listeners on how early everyone really is... As one of his examples he talked about a friend who said he was early into twitter when he joined in 2011 and Gary told that guy that he invested in Twitter in 2007 so even 4 years after Gary saw value in Twitter others still felt like they were in early... That's when GaryVee mentioned a couple of us in the live twitter space audience that he's known for a good while including myself referencing how I was just a kid and less mature when I was early on to web 2.0 but now with web 3.0 its an entire different ball game. So with that lead in I decided to lean into why and what you can do if you feel like you are late or maybe you realize you're early but you feel this need to pushing something out right away or having FOMO about missing out on something if you don't launch or buy-in to all the projects right now. I've always appreciated GaryVee's take on the future and trends and I felt this was a perfect one for an episode on the podcast.

How big is the NFT market? The answer 47. No, [00:00:09] that's not exactly. I think the spot on. Yeah. Good to talk to again, George. [00:00:16] Yeah. So we're going to cover some news. We're going to cover some projects. We'll probably remember to do all of those things inside of here, but just to start, we've got little oh, here, the us government connects North Korea hacking group with last month, 600 million Ronan exploit. [00:00:34] As you remember, Ronin is the the currency under lying, the Axiom infinity game along with SLP, which is the earned revenue. There was a problem in there where frankly, they got us for all of their ethos that people were holding. They're going to be made whole because there's a lot of money floating around. [00:00:54] So I don't know if there's anything else on this interesting North Korea. Yeah. [00:00:57] There had been some rumors that it was probably a state actor around the time, just because there was so little information coming out about it. And 600 million is kind of a large number to not, to have a lot more discussion around. [00:01:11] So not too surprising if if you had kind of read some of that, the Lazarus group they'd been known crypto hackers in the past. So. You know, interesting. There's about 450 million tied to one address specifically unclear where the other, I don't know, 150 million or so is all right. Well, anyway, let's see, we've got the next bit of news here. [00:01:35] We've got news of Coinbase NFTs. Cool. It sounds like Coinbase in a P is coming out. Right, George, [00:01:41] stop it. You're you keep teasing me with this and I'm done. I'm done with it. It's never going to happen. Not going to. Never gonna make it. [00:01:49] So they've got a three-part. Film series coming out with the board API club. [00:01:54] They did, they announced this didn't seem to be huge news in the board. Ape world is bigger news in the Coinbase world. Interestingly in quick days, it did slip in there that their NFT marketplace is coming very, very soon. So, you know, they have a different scale than some of us. But you know, maybe that who knows what that means, but they are, they're at least finding a way to put themselves in the conversation with board apes at this point. [00:02:23] Yeah. I mean, they've got the wallet app, which I think is actually much bigger than folks realize because it's tied to the mobile. And it's tied to your ability, frankly, one of the best and easiest on-ramps for turn and Fiat into crypto at, at low costs and low friction. And you know, even knowing what I know, I still use the Coinbase to my private wallet, you know, conveyor belt. [00:02:51] What do you use actually to get your, to get Fiat's or are you just no longer. Moving stuff that way [00:02:58] yet. I haven't done that in awhile. Move Fiat to crypto. Got a, got a good, a good amount of crypto at this point and move around and crypto much more often. But that is a good point though, that, that they do have that wallet. [00:03:13] And they do have a very long pave and see that you've just made a note. They have a very long waiting list for their NFT marketplace and heard it's as big as 4 million people at this point. So you know, they, and the Coinbase NFT marketplace, I believe it will. Some point, you know, it is becoming a running joke around you know, around the NFG world of, because it has been such a long time and especially as fast as things move in in crypto world. [00:03:45] Yeah. Well, I I'm not holding my breath and I'm moving, I'm moving on from, from hopes to sort of make making other other plans. When it comes, hopefully it'll move the market because that's a lot of people that enter into it. Once you get an idea of how big the NFT market is and isn't we'll get into that a little bit more later on in the episode. [00:04:07] Next step, next story we've got here. We've got Lego coming into the metaverse. They've partnered with epic games and they are looking to make a child friendly. Metaverse you know, so I think this will be more in line with I'm not sure if it, it roadblocks or The other one craft Minecraft. [00:04:29] That's actually the one that I'm more familiar with, they know, but there, and I think from what I know, a Minecraft is much more actually kid safe than roadblocks is as a platform. So I'm sure they see that and see an opportunity. They're so interesting that they are getting into this Lego. [00:04:46] Does, you know, it seems like it would work with a lot of the the Minecraft style of building with blocks. They could use. You know, use a Lego like block to, to build in the world and partnering with epic certainly gives them a, a big leg up again, getting started here. [00:05:05] Yeah. Well, we'll see you know, talking about this next generation of just fully normalized to ownership and creation in on online ecosystems. [00:05:16] I actually liked that partnership. I like that. Groups like that, getting together as opposed to saying like, yeah, let's trust mark Zuckerberg with our, with our kids in the metaverse, which is not the first line I'd maybe go for and in, in my bed. [00:05:30] Yeah, absolutely. You know, I do think that like has has a good reputation and we'll work to uphold that you know, with a metaverse that is actually safe for kids. [00:05:43] Yeah. I mean, in epic games, obviously that's the creator behind 14. Which, you know, say what you will like it's guns and whatnot, but they have really brought the multiplayer battle Royales to the foreground. And also I respect the heck out of that massive donation in aid to Ukraine the other month, like totally, I think it was over 80 million. [00:06:02] So hats off and respect. They know how to manage youth in an ecosystem on. [00:06:08] Absolutely. All right. One more news item here. We've got another company entering the metaverse and other, a fashion apparel company under armor. This time I, a gear I'd say, but a Nike Adidas. And now under armor, all very active or sorry, Nike. [00:06:28] Adidas are already very active in NFTs and the metaverse and now we're seeing under armor also getting into the space. So, you know, as we've been saying, you know, I think this is just going to become, every company has some sort of metaverse play at some point and it won't be such news, but you know, at this point we're still, you know, I think it is still somewhat headline grabbing when when these companies do make plans [00:06:51] yeah. [00:06:52] In this Tweet. And here the Nike recently now 6.7 million Robox roadblocks players had visited the virtual Nike land store talking about attention. And you're talking about attention in these digital ecosystems. So brands are definitely waking up cause they realize where the next generation of consumers are spending time and might be making. [00:07:15] All right. Well, let's move on to our affordable project. George, you've got another one for us today. And what do you have? [00:07:23] So for change, it's not soccer. How about that? [00:07:28] Well, wait, so it's gotta be a stable, stable base game, right? [00:07:33] Kind of, but no, not even as the Lindsay's. I've been watching and you've probably heard this before. [00:07:39] Alluvium for, for awhile. It's kinda like then in, you know, I got a lot of stuff on the site in the side view Ramir but essentially, you know, I can dedicate like many, many hours to the lore of what's being built around Eluvia, but they have technically not launched as a full game. They are going to be a think of it as what the next. [00:08:00] Brand of Pokemon will be in the metaverse and that's most exciting implementation. And they've got a tremendous discord. Right now they don't have anything in the NFTE land that frankly I would be getting into, but they do have a token and it's that sort of dangerous game of token defense. The the game, but you know, right now, just looking at the overall just size internally, they've got I believe something like, you know, 42,000 folks on YouTube, 290,000 on Twitter, and then what they called survivors 190, 4,000 in there. [00:08:42] So they've been under development for a while now, the sort of reason I'm bringing it up now they've got Eluvia island, V I L V. Total. And, you know, you, you can look at the price and move around, but I think the play right now is to potentially look at getting in at whatever your size is for some of that Eluvia token. [00:09:02] Cause they have just launched they're staking V2. And so they're staking V2. Earn yield on that, but also sort of, kind of be ready once. Once the play starts watching and they've got a, a game launcher that's going to come, it's gonna be a desktop downloader, and they've got some amazing graphics and art here. [00:09:22] They have a fully doxed team. And they've just, they've been building for a very long time. Look the risks of this, as I've said before, like, you know, when game and you're sort of play this game of like waiting and. But I'll tell you a good time to get in. It's like a team that can execute and finally does launch will, and they do sort of hit part of this, like be able to capitalize on a community, ready to go and look, there's going to be the next Pokemon, the next branded, catch them, breed them, interact in this multi game world. [00:09:55] They've got all of the game dynamics really planned out and it's. There's going to be a winner. I don't know if it's this one or not, but it's something that I'm kind of watching the side. What do you see about alluvium from, from where? See. [00:10:07] So I've heard this one talked about a lot and you know, I think he gets, I don't know if it's getting a lot of attention, but it's certainly getting mentioned in a lot of NFT circles looking they're looking ahead to what's coming. [00:10:21] I, like you said, there's not a ton there for NFTs at this point. So it is kind of playing on the future. That being said, I think it is somewhat overlooked at this point. And you know, if they are able to. You know, to, to make this work, even if it's, you know, I think you have to be, you have to be wary that any of these games are going to run into the same problems as, as we've seen over and over that, they're going to go through a, a good cycle and then maybe run into problems. [00:10:50] But I think. If you're aware of that cycle, there is an opportunity here. You know, it would be, I would, if the price does increase by a lot, I would definitely look to maybe at least a move you know, move the original investment out and, you know, then if you are looking to hold long-term you know, that would be the way that. [00:11:13] Would look to play this kind of one. [00:11:16] Yeah. And they've got some tremendous marketing goals, such as like Guinness book record for largest pot for a game played, but they've got the sign up for the auto Bandler private beta right now. But there's sort of testing and getting an idea of what's going on. [00:11:31] So it may be a period of time where the price is low interest is kind of at a, at a point that might make sense to test it out and take a look to see if this might. Something that that takes hold, but obviously, yeah, like there's nothing better than playing with the house's money kind of building on that. [00:11:48] I had some other updates that I wanted to throw out there of past projects. One, the red village, they are running active tournaments and I have been playing in them. I've been winning with some of them. I've got a nice guy. He's got like a 50% win rate. He's a little drunk. It was an R for my R one is not performing very well. [00:12:07] Mary wind Claus, just saying interesting. I don't know. She's she's just not achieving like, like prior, so I got a Druid doing it and it's actually, you know, it's, I'm, I'm, I'm really excited for them because I feel like I've watched their sort of story unfold for a number of months. But it's, it's That's actually working. [00:12:24] It's actually fun. The other one is Pegasi back to stables. He knew I was going to, I didn't talk about soccer stables. So here we go. I guess they have a super fascinating burn mechanics. So this has been the wildest ride. I think I've ever been on for. Peak value and then peak crash. Like it was so aggressive because of the, [00:12:49] and you own dose. [00:12:51] So I think that's really saying something [00:12:53] I've written some waves I've written. Yeah. And I owned a fish. So that's thanks for disclosing. That's great. Sorry, [00:13:02] is that a, was that not? [00:13:03] I at least I at least took my initial. I follow my own rule. Take the initial investment outside. I did something smart there, but there's a different universe where I made a lot more money, but I still believe in dovish. [00:13:14] I'm a. Anyway what happened with Pegasi is they sort of ran up in the price for the, the base currency and then which is called biz. If you want to track it and you can kind of look at a story and it was like crash. So it was up at like 25 cents. And then I was like down at like 0.04 cents. [00:13:34] So pretty, pretty epic bottom falling out, which is just the nature of play to earn games that expand and breeding. Right? If the breeding is increased, you can see it every single time that effectively there's no other side of the market and re reason to keep it. What they have done is reasonably rollout and they did this on April 14th. [00:13:53] So it's been a little while. So it'd be interesting to take a look at where the market is, have created a burn mechanic for general Pega. So the base peg is. The Pacers that you have to burn to and admins to get a epic and to get a rare, to get a legendary. So they have this sort of, you have to burn more, to get more into a higher tier. [00:14:12] That'll let you earn more. So they've actually sort of rearchitected the whole way that the token will be earned and it sort of is going to neutralize this like massive breeding problem that happened where the proliferation of. Very low tier horse. Peggy's got introduced into the market, so I'm optimistic and it might be interesting if you kind of heard me talking about it and take a look at like this inflection point where things are at the Flory, Flory, McPherson, and seeing what's going on there. [00:14:43] And one of the tactics might be I'm looking at. Looking at undervalued founding. So, you know, remember the don't buy what you can breed founding and, or potentially the the legendary, which are now are of higher value because they can earn a heck of a lot more than the other ones. So I'm very curious, it's a team that develops and does stuff, but you know, nothing, nothing like seeing dynamics play out right in your backyard and saying hope that works. [00:15:11] All right, Andrew, how big is the NFT market go? [00:15:17] All right. Well, not very, I would say overall, there we go. Seven. Okay. Oh good. Todd. You know, this was something that I've, I dunno, it came up. It came up recently when I was looking at I guess it was on Twitter and someone was talking about how they're at an NFT event and asking others if they knew how many active users were on, on open sea. [00:15:40] And, you know, at this point, you know, everybody seemed to be way off and, you know, there's about 500,000 active monthly users on an open seat. And to put that in some perspective, Instagram has 400 and 545 million monthly active users discord as 121 million. So when you think about the fact that, you know, every NFT project seems to have a discourse. [00:16:06] Yeah at most you know, maybe there could even be double if people aren't actively trading, but even if there's a million NFT holder using discord, there, it means there's another 120 million using discord that aren't NFT that they're, aren't using open C on a monthly basis. So this is, you know, it really puts it in perspective how few people. [00:16:25] Actively trading NFTs on a monthly basis. And I think that's, it's really important to consider here. You know, there's a lot of talk like, is it over? Is it I shouldn't say a lot of times there's always discussion of, you know, with new, with new technologies of whether, you know, the bubble has been burst, whether, you know, it's, it's all over, whether it was just a fad. [00:16:44] And I think, you know, when you looked at this, we're seeing that the numbers are growing, but it's still. It's still quite small. You know, at 500,000 users we're talking about, you know, more like a, you know, a relatively successful iPhone app or mobile app of some sort you know, that's, that's what the numbers are at this point. [00:17:05] And granted, you know, Things that have, you know, you have to actually be spending to be an active user, but that's, you know, that's, that's not that hard. Once people get into the crypto the crypto crypto world and have their wallet ready to, to move some crypto around and into NFTs. [00:17:25] Yeah. Something like the total active. [00:17:28] So you're, I think you're, you're right to look at like monthly active, cause there's like people that maybe got dropped one thing and then like left it alone and like ran away. But it's like anywhere from a million to 1.4 million, but in terms of active wallets, it is so, so small that, yeah, like when we were talking about how like, yeah, the liquidity could be pulled out by one project, because by the way, there's, there's only half a million of us running around with E doing this sort of thing, which you know, is a good reminder that this is still very, very new in terms of an adopted technical. [00:18:04] But yeah, there's definitely hype. There's definitely gonna be pullbacks, but I get to say, like, when I hear from, you know, different people in various podcasts and interviews of like how, when they first realized that this is the ownership layer of the web and how excited they got and how they found these communities, it is a type of excitement that I just don't see, like going away. [00:18:28] So it's very sticky for the people that get into it and enjoy it. And it kind of like pulls people in, in the same way. I'd say that like it's apt to compare it to a social media platform where it is it's an experience is improved by the, the you know, end of number of nodes in it, right. Extra people in it create extra value. [00:18:53] And it accrues in that way. In the same way, I think is true for a lot of these discords and NFT. So there is a, a virality, a K factor here that is positive and seems to be trending up. Though they're going to certainly be dips along the way, but you know, it's hard to argue like the run-up that you saw in 2021, continuing, but I think it can easily be done when you look at again, 3.7 now 4 million, like people on a waiting list. [00:19:22] On, you know, [00:19:25] the thing I said, the waiting list, the waiting list is now about eight times the size of the number of monthly active users on open. See, that's, that's, that's a lot of people that are waiting to that. And if half of [00:19:37] them fall into a coma and say, I don't feel like it, that's still four times the amount of monthly active you four times the amount. [00:19:47] Not necessarily maybe liquidity, but certainly individual purchasing, which gives me more hope for some of those longer tail projects. Right? If the folks that were interested in buying the, like the top tens, like, oh, I've got to get my Zuki. I have to get my board ape. Like they would have already done it. [00:20:05] I think this is much more about the retail interest of getting into entities in a safe, vetted way. That is not the wild west of openings. [00:20:13] Yeah. I mean, I think there is, I mean, I think there are a lot of people that will actually end up on open C after trying out maybe Coinbase and empty, you know, we've seen this happen in the past that you know, it can lead people to to other platforms. [00:20:28] But certainly having a I don't know, a safer platform to try it out on initially. We'll make it a little. Easier for people to at least take that first step and understand what it means to own an NFT. And like you said, once you do own it and understand the, the ownership and the, how that plays in. [00:20:47] And I think it's so much easier to understand by actually interacting with these. So, you know, I, I do think that Coinbase we'll have we'll have. They big marketplace and a big effect, but I think it will also bring people into the space or into open sea and into some of these other more decentralized, not that open seat is, but these other marketplaces that are maybe not custody such as nifty gateway or Coinbase and make people more willing to try these out after they've had the experience of actually owning one of these in a safe environment. [00:21:20] Yeah. I mean, obviously. Super cost-prohibitive. So on the contrary to this, like the MCOMP to saying like, look at Instagram, it's viral. Look at like candy crush is 119 million people. Like frankly, the starting point for NFTs is, can be embarrassingly high for certain projects. However, you know, Solano got listed. [00:21:42] I am the first one to say I'm not a huge fan of the salon ecosystem, but as. Projects of higher quality jump onto that platform, you know, like, yeah, you're going to be able to get in quite easily for like under a hundred bucks and play a different type of game and interact there. And so it'll be really you know, it'll be exciting when it happens and we'll do an emergency podcast and say, oh my gosh, it's happening. [00:22:06] We have another note in here though, around the total value. So it's like a different way of measuring the NFE market. We're talking about. But how do you look at the sort of value quote, unquote of, [00:22:19] yeah, you're right. This is, so this is another way of looking at it and this is. Specific to crypto art, digital art, and not necessarily NMT collections, but crypto art.io is a site that tracks NFT art and they value. [00:22:34] They have an estimate of about 2.8 billion for all of. All of digital crypto art. I'm not that sold last year. Just the total value. So the, just to put that one in perspective, the volume for traditional R for all art last year, including digital was 65 billion. So. We would have seen, let's see, almost 22 weeks or so. [00:23:03] The, we would had to seek a 22 X the turnover of all of the digital art for it to equate to that much. So there's just a very small amount. That's whoa, a small amount of art, but also a very small amount of value that's currently on on the blockchain and in NFT art. So I think that we're going to start seeing that change. [00:23:22] I think there's going to be a lot of traditional. Art collectors and art institutions that are moving into crypto in the future. You know, especially as more as more users come in, you know, it becomes a I don't know, any more meaningful piece to hold. And, you know, as you said, that's when the. [00:23:41] Inflection point in the metaverse will be when these digital goods become more meaningful and more, and therefore more valuable to us than a physical goods. And I think that's what we will see with some of these physical arts are these digital arts over time. [00:23:55] I just don't see how that isn't the future of this. [00:24:00] And it's weird. Cause I, I sometimes have to like look for alternative narratives to be like, oh, all of this is going to blow away. Like the wind. It's not going to say. No, I'm not going to save that thing. That by the way, has to sit in a warehouse or behind a screen that you can't ever see, but it sits over there as opposed to like my ability to use this in the metaverse use this in the real, like, I can put it up on a screen here and be like, Hey, here's my art. [00:24:24] I mean, I went over to the other day. I saw your art rotating the wall, and I'm like, I'm very jealous. I'm going to get one of those things, but I'm gonna get the next version that gives me a little more. [00:24:31] Oh, no, [00:24:33] I'm going to get the V2 can get the V2, but I just, I think just to come back to it this is the early adopter stage. [00:24:41] If you look at adoption cycles, we're in a micro height moment, let's just be very clear, like we're in a hype moment, 90, 95% of, if you look at the top 100 projects gone, go away. If you, if you look for the next five years, will they still be around? And that however, I think in the overall market and then in playing into it saying like, this is something you have to pay attention to. [00:25:05] And that's what gets me excited about this. And, you know, it's why I got fired up to do this podcast because I think this forces me to do the research and pay attention to it and also stay with it because there's, I will, I will say weeks where I'm kind of frustrated at decisions I've made quite a bit. [00:25:22] And like, that's the other thing it's like, it really stings. Like when you, you know, you buy a dud horse and you're like, why did I do that? [00:25:28] Great. I mean, if you think about the fact that anyone can. Yeah, can basically try to sell at any point. And, you know, even in these companies that are, you know, these, these projects that are trying to build something early, you know, it would be akin to someone saying, yes, I'm ready to invest in a, you know, at a seed round. [00:25:45] And then maybe two weeks later saying, you know what, as it moved fast enough, I'm ready to sell. And that would be, you know, that'd be kind of crazy. Kind of what we're working with in NFTs. So we haven't really had this sort of liquidity to a marketplace you know, and all of these different projects trying to do so many different things at the same time. [00:26:06] You know, I don't know that there's an apt comparison to look at for for what we're seeing in NFTs. Right. [00:26:12] I, I struggle, you know, you have to kind of cobble together a bunch to get there, but you know, also saying like, okay, if you're an early adopter, early adopter phase or about to go through a bit of a trough and a pullback fine. [00:26:24] But long-term like, where are we now versus where is it going to be? You know, you hear me talking about games non-stop and like trying to, you know, guess on soccer, but the smartest thing. Recently is kind of picking up on your lead of, of looking at capital a art versus PFPs things that are created by artists that are really defining the art movement of this time. [00:26:47] Like I'm still very much long on that. And I think they're, they're getting overlooked. They truly are. I'm really excited. I picked up a Sarah Zucker piece from that Ash chapter two and I also picked up And so, you know, I'm, I'm pretty pretty happy about both and holding on to both for a little while. [00:27:09] And it's because I know they're going to continue to create. And I think that there's like a moment in time where certainly, maybe it goes up and down, but longterm it sort of epitomizes like a type of artists at that at a moment right now that I hope that like one I'd want to display it. It's. And, and to sort of survive. [00:27:29] They're like, oh, it's not part of this PFP project that the community went away. Like the community is people that identify this as art created by an artist in this moment, that is a typical of a style and format that was Sarah this time. [00:27:43] Yeah, I think that's, yeah, that's great. I mean, those are two artists that have definitely shown dedication to their work and. [00:27:50] I think he can be pretty comfortable knowing that they will be around here, be around in the space. Interesting. Interesting to note the dead fellows artist is also a female seat. So we invested in two of the more well-known females in the in this face. So [00:28:08] you're [00:28:09] given a little hint on our next our next step. [00:28:12] I want to give way too much alpha. Don't want to get. [00:28:14] All right. So how big is the NFTE market? Keep in mind, very early 500,000. They'll you'll see like numbers, like a million, but monthly active users. What we care about, people throwing things around and a lot more to come. Obviously when, when Coinbase is the elephant in the room, but it continues. [00:28:31] Yeah. If you were, [00:28:32] if you were in and if these at all right now, you were early in the space and well ahead of many others, and there's a lot left to come, I would say. So feel free to hop in our discord. We encourage you to up in our discourse yet [00:28:44] it have some projects. Stop me from continuing to find horse, horse related. [00:28:48] If you have, honestly, if you can find something that relates to horses and playing soccer or something, please bring it to versus playing [00:28:56] soccer. You immediately get in our discord at three NFT and you bring that to me right now.
