"I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going. I respect the past, but I'm a person of the moment. I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place." - Maya Angelou. Let's take a look back from the end of 2020 with the launch of Top Shots to the start of 2021 with Beeple 69mil sale at Christie's to the launch of BAYC and Veefriends in May, which led into a summer of Opensea doubling in secondary trade volume and the launch of some of our favorite projects like Lazy Lions, CryptoChicks and many more. It's also fun to throw in some of the journeys we have had with this podcast going to NYC on Nov 1st, launching the podcast and Mint 365 on Nov 11th to dropping our NFTs on Dec 12th. Yes, a lot has happened in the last 18 months, but truthfully the other way to look at it is most of these projects, tools, and communities are just now celebrating their first birthday so the next time you hear someone say you are still early... Remember how right they are as now hopefully you have a better understanding of the past so together, we can build a better future together!

In episode #192 I told you my strategy for buying the lazy lion cub I wanted at half the mint price. The strategy worked but I didn't buy it. Not because I didn't want it… but because I spent all my ETH before I could buy it. While interest is way down in the space I feel like it's a good time to share some secrets with faithful listeners like you. I'm going to share the game plan for my next few purchases.

The Lazy Lions is one of the blue-chip ETH communities. However, even their price is down considerably. About 2 months ago they had a 2 ETH floor, now they have a 0.5 ETH floor…but the Lazy Hats, a trait group within the project have a 10x higher floor despite not being the rarest trait.

I've talked a lot about emotional marketing and we know FOMO is real within the NFT community.... But we also have to be honest with ourselves around us making emotional decisions while also looking for projects that are building emotional ties within their communities while nobody is watching... Lazy Lions were one of those for me and after 7 months of watching from afar I jumped in and grabbed this one: https://opensea.io/assets/0x8943c7bac1914c9a7aba750bf2b6b09fd21037e0/7363 As always: DO YOU OWN DAMN RESEARCH and we hope you enjoy coming on this Mint 365 journey as we buy an NFT every day for 365 days: https://www.nft365podcast.com/mint365 The 1st DAILY Podcast buying an NFT mint every day for a year!

What Are NFTs?An NFT (non-fungible token) is data added to a file that creates a unique signature. It can be an image file, a song, a tweet, a text posted on a website, a physical item, and various other digital formats.This basically means that someone can own a digital file (and that it's marked with code to differentiate it from any digital replicas).Connect with Sebastian here: Instagram.com/PodcastLaunchGuyCheck out Sebastian's NFT collection here:OpenSea: https://opensea.io/podcastlaunchguyNifty's: https://niftys.com/podcastlauncher

I mean, we talk all the time about projects.We talk about community. I mean, this is a big one and they're showing up in the chat. They've got 6,000 people in the discord, almost 50,000 followers on Twitter. And this isn't a new project. I mean, this minted back in August and this community is just getting stronger and stronger. Absolutely. So funny story, right.We first found out about this community when we shot an episode and then the comments, you know, they started, you know, talking to them. We tweeted something out when Zynga, I don't know if you remember that Chris and went crazy. So when Zynga is now, so, you know, thank you guys for tuning in. It's going to be a great episode.Yeah. I mean, the chat spoke, right. And also, I mean, mass, you saw it, right. We put out a couple of tweets sharing the preview of this video. Right. And the engagement on those tweets was insane.

Again. We air the roadmap Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 2:00 PM. Eastern time. Mass before we get into the interview. I think we need everyone in the chat to roar. Right? I want to see some roars out there and we can play our trailer and get started with this interview again, mass, I mean this minted at 0.05, we've got a floor price of over one it's sold out in its first day.And again, this was back in. You know, so a different time than what we're seeing now. All right. So joining us on the roadmap today, we have Asher the co-founder of lazy lions and nine. The developer got to go ahead, bring these guys on the stream. What's going on here.We've been doing that lately, where we do these trailers. We love putting those trailers out, you know, on Twitter, getting some engagement built up, but it's a great way to bring on our guests, right? It's almost like entrance music to play you guys onto the stream. So we're glad that you liked it. And we're super excited to have you guys on the stream and also this loyal community in the chat.Right.Super excited for this one. So yeah, that's definitely going to be exciting. And I just noticed now, as I'm looking at this. I came in a bit more casual with my hoodie and I see you've got the real Madrid shirt and all that.All right, guys. Well, let's dive into some questions. Uh, before we get into Lacy lions, one of the first questions I always like to start with is. Tell us about your experience with NFTs prior to lazy lions, where you collectors, were you investors or was lazy lions, your first entry into the NFT space? Uh, let's start with nine on this one and, uh, hear from you.Yeah, sure. Um, so NFTs for us was very interesting actually, because when we first started, we were very into sort of like. Um, so we used to play a lot of games when we were younger. Um, and that, and then we start to learn about, you know, crypto it first started when we got into cryptocurrencies. Uh, we know a little bit about that and it started to move into NFTs.I personally had an action collected any NFTs at the time, but it just tied in like the way that I understood it was like, oh yeah, it's on a blockchain, you know, proof of ownership. There was rarely factor involved. And that just took me back to our younger days when we used to play games and it just resonated with us and we spoke about it and we're like, yeah, this is, this is the space.And when you were, and then we started to work together and getting to the NFV space and start looking like building lazy lines from the ground up. Um, that's really how it started. I personally didn't collect any, I know Ash, I think you've, I think you've bought one, but yeah, he touch on that more. Yeah.Ashley let's hear from you and FTS. Were you in before lazy lions? Yeah, for sure. Um, I mean, just.Uh, code up different things and then, um, you know, taken to market. That was always a lot of fun. Um, with crypto, for me, um, I wasn't like a big crypto guy, like even during the. Um, it is that the, the vibe that really interested me, cause I saw the value of the metal offsets. It still makes a lot of sense, but it didn't hit me as like, oh, this is going to be a really big thing.Cause I couldn't see it being like a cultural impact, but NFTs for me, it was beginning of this year. And as soon as I like started that. To me, I'm like, this is not going anyway. Like digital ownership. Like we grew up, you know, playing video games where you've spent all that time and energy and money as well, but you can never take that thing outside of the game.And it's like, now you can actually do that. It's just, so for me, it's a no brainer. This is definitely not going anywhere. Um, one of my favorite entities actually like a full lights. In our bungalow and a bungalow is an NFC that we dropped where you can showcase your other entities. Um, it's actually forgotten ruins character.Um, and this probably ties in with what nine was saying. You know, we'd be gay. This girl playing greenscape loved that game and that little guy. Like, he just reminds me so much of my childhood. I tell you, I don't know how much that could go up in value, but I don't think I'm ever going to sell it. So, um, I guess a collector before, before these lines, if you want to.Yeah, it sounds like he's not going to sell it. Well, awesome love here in the video game. Talk as well. That's a common thing that we hear from different people behind NFT projects. Uh, you know, nine, you mentioned a little bit, uh, U2, uh, you know, getting involved together. Wondering if we can hear, or if we can hear more of the background, how did this team come to be and why the decision, you know, to, to launch lazy lions, uh, why a lion, why this type of artwork any a behind the scenes insight there?Yeah, sure. So it was, it first started. I think it was actually my birthday when we first started discussing like, um, cryptocurrencies and. It's a lot of getting into it. And we were talking just back talking about different coins that we were interested in. Um, and then later down the track, I believe it was Ashley that came up to me was like, Hey man, have you heard of NFTs?And I was like, yeah, I've heard of them. They pretty much just like JPEGs. Right. And he's like, yeah, but you can actually own, like, you could see those as NFTs and there's a very flexible and it all started resonating. And we're like, you know what? This makes sense. This makes sense to us being video game players, back in the days, it all like proof of ownership was a big thing for us being able to actually prove that you own this NFT just made sense.Uh, just made sense to us and we thought, you know, just discussing it. And we sort of just branched out to the team as well. And they all understood the. And then pretty much from there, we just thought, you know what let's just think of, um, think of the next best thing. And with that with us, we always went back to our heritage.So lions were pretty much a part of our heritage cause we were from an, a student. So that just resonated with us and we just yet went full throttle with that. Yeah. I mean, just a few other things as well. Like the whole Kings and Queensland, hopefully my audio is working better now. I'm using AirPods and I realized it was a different setting.Um, like just growing up, we've always referred to each other as Kings, right. Like even just with mates around. Um, and I feel like that's something that's just hit off for you. What would the community, and it's probably a small thing. Like there might be people in the audience outside of the lazy lions community.Coming to their king or queen, but I think it goes more than that. Like it ties in with that values, which is yes, we're all Kings and Queens, but no one's above anyone else. And I feel like that's something that resonates with a lot of people in web three. Um, so yeah, just a few little things like that.Love that. So guys, so the floor is over one eighth, you guys have over 86 K into this school. And the 49 K on Twitter. So how do you guys personally measure the success of this project? Let's start with you Asher, if you can tell us a little bit more. Yeah. You know, it's, it's interesting. Like there are a few different ways you can, you can look at it.Um, and that, and that we do track, right? Like obviously we've got our own KPIs that, you know, we had really, really smart people who know the ins and outs of, um, the whole economics behind it. Yeah. Tell us what metrics we should be looking. Um, and the community knows that, um, it, it ties in with that mission, which is pretty simply it's to become the, the biggest and best entity community there is.That's, that's our mission. Um, obviously we're a bit biased. We think we've already got one of those. Um, but to be the biggest, it's very black and white, so that's what we're aiming for. Not to put anyone else down. I, I love some of the other projects that are out there, but that's just our mission anyways.Right. Um, so that's one way that we track success. Um, That's small quantitative like qualitative, just speaking with community members, the five, particularly in this dip right now. I feel like for me, um, that's what really just reassures me that we're on the right path. Just, you know, you jump into the discord, you see what's being posted.You have chats with community members. I try to say. Um, spend a fair bit of my time just having those, like one-on-one chats with community members. Um, I feel like that's a really important thing. Like just, um, like really like, Hey, like how are things going? Like, you know what he feels blocking us, like real deeper conversation.Um, and that's just been like, it's not obviously like all positive, like they're always things that we can be improving on, but overall it feels like we're on the right track. So that's, that's the way we measure it. Yes. We've got data that having those conversations with community members, um, tells me we're on the right track.I love that. Yeah, same. I like to hop in a discord and you know, you see the activity level. You know, there's been so many discourse throughout this period that are just dead, you know? Cause it's, we're kind of an embarrassed market, so there's no one, you know, having conversation, seeing you guys have this activity is amazing.Uh, how about you a nine? What, what, how do you measure the success of the. Yeah. So similar to what, similar to what Ash said. I think for me personally, it's during this fast success of the project, just jumping into the discord and seeing how active it is on a, on a daily basis. Being able to hold these, um, conversations with, you know, my team members and, you know, moderators and community members.And they're all, we're all on the same page. We all understand what the, you know, what we're here to do. And just, yeah, just seeing how active for me personally, because I'm more on the community is just how active it actually is. And seeing the word being spread out, spread out on Twitter, spread out in discord.That really just resonates with me. So I love that. So can you guys tell us a little bit more about bungalows and how they, uh, you know, coming to the lazy lion world? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Um, and so I guess when we started, right, like we had a few things, um, In mind for the roadmap. Um, and we didn't want to be different just for the sake of being different, but at the same time, it's, it was very obvious to us that if we just, I guess, copied what other projects were doing, like we could find our own way.I think that that was a bit lane. Like that's not what we're about. Um, we're in a new space. I think there's a really good opportunity for us to build something unique and that's fun to us. Right. And it's something that was that we noticed during our research of NFTs, like at the beginning of the year was like, how do you show these things?Yeah, that was the question I had. Um, and I spent a fair bit of time looking into that. I still feel like there's no great solution, um, in real life, if anyone has something like, you know, a great way to like show them off in frames or whatever the ambulance go down, I'd love to know. Cause I want to bring out obviously my line, um, and a few other odd faces.Yeah, that's in the real world. And, um, you know, in the digital world, you know, how do you show these things off? I've seen a few like, um, social media websites, but nothing great. So just to us, it was like, well, Twitter ban is not being used. Profile photos are what if we could show off NFTs in the Twitter banner, um, and you know, sticking with our values as well, which is to be inclusive rather than.Being exclusive, which I think a lot of other projects really focused on, you know, they're trying to build this exclusive community, um, and that works for them and that's great, but where we're different to that, you know, we're trying to, you know, we're aiming to be inclusive. So, um, sticking with that nature, it's like, you don't just have to show off your lazy lines and, um, without new bungalows DAP, which is on dot com, you can edit any bungle.It, you have to include any NFT that you weren't. Even if it's not lazy lions related. So, um, yeah, that's, that's how it works. It's a bit of background as to why. That's awesome. So me and Chris liked to ask this question on to our guests, every episode, what are some of your favorite traits from the lazy lion?So were there any unique traits that you particularly liked that no one knows about? Let's start with you nine. Can you tell us a little bit more, you know, which lions do you like the best or what traits do you like the most. That's a good question. That's that's a great question. Um, which ones are the ones that are being slept on?Let's let you personally love, you know, honestly, I think I used to love the, I like actually like the, really like the lederhosen. Um, it is one of the ones that I had originally as my PFE or my line had it. You had the better hosing shirt out of my eyes, and I believe it had the halo just look very innocent.So I was like, yeah, this one, this one resonates with me. Um, but I think that one's a little bit slipped on as well. It's, it's, you know, it is one of the rare ones as well, but you don't see too many people will actually actually with it. Sowhat about you Asher? Um, there's a couple big. Uh, a big party guide just because of the whole childhood thing, but, um, basically these, uh, these sorts of fire, I think, um, and I know I'll get in. Um, I'll get a bit of stick if I, Aaron, and he's proud of that team as well. He is a community manager. I know he loves the lazy hat.Um, so that one should probably get some recognition as well. I think that one's probably a fan favorite. Yeah. That's been some call-outs for us, steak mouth in the chat as well. It looks like there's some fans of the meat and the steak out there in the chat right now that guy's going to get about 50 steak bouts.So that's why, that's why, that's why. So there's a little bit of a bias going on. Oh man. Well, Sorry. There's a little bit of a little trait combo that I like as well. So if you have like a, if there's a scratch body and they have a ripped shirt, you can see the scratches underneath the shirt, which is what just comes out really nice.So it's a little thing that I sort of go for as well. I like the nice, nice call out there. What about you guys? Yeah. You know, I seeing them, I like the steak right there, you know, and again, I, I know there's someone in the chat, you know, bias towards that, but I liked the steak. I liked the party hat. I know there was the halo, um, you know, some of the different, uh, the headpiece traits.Um, I liked, but I also have seen some real clean ones too. Uh, you know, that are impressive. Uh, what about. Um, football Jersey, you know, big football guy. And then I do like, so I do like anything theorem based from any collection. I'm always trying to find like, is there a theme chain or anything like that?I saw you guys having it there in business shirt. I like that one as well. So yeah, exactly. That one right there. So always those little subtle pieces. I think that's cool. Definitely. All right. Well, you guys also have roar words for your owners to reward the community members. Can you tell us a little bit about.Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Um, this is probably what been one of the biggest, uh, I guess like catalysts of the project, particularly at the beginning, uh, at the early stage of, sorry. To put it simply, uh, rewards is what it sounds like it's a rewards program exclusively for lazy lion holders. So this is one of the advantages, or I guess, utility of being a lion NFT holder.Um, every month you're eligible for rewards in the form of eight by completing activities that, uh, That benefit the project. So, you know, community engaging activities and part of those, you know, they change from month to month, but one of those might be, you know, setting your profile photo or on Twitter to your lazy lion entity.Um, and you know, I feel the little things like that, and that might be why you see, you know, quite a few, um, you know, about how those changing their profile photo, um, to the lines, particularly the, the early stages, but what we found now, it's really interesting, right. Um, And I should probably explain why we did this, but what we've seen is like, it was a good reason.It was a reason why a lot of, um, people I guess, came to the project. Um, but what's happened now is like, it's becomes so insignificant where they just, they love their lines so much. They don't really care about rewards anymore. Like, that's a lot of the feedback that we get is like, yeah, that was really nice at the beginning, but it's like now I love my profile photo so much.I'm not gonna change it. Even if you would've paid me to. So it's like, it's sort of changed, um, how they, how they view it. Um, but I think it's important to like, to explain why we did this. Um, it's sort of like a marketing expense, I guess if we, if we look at it that way, like from the project's point of view, like I know a lot of other collections and then this isn't me bashing anyone else.Go down the route, which is the easy route of, you know, paying like an influencer to change their profile better and, you know, paying a big amount, a large amount of Psalm, one influence, a change, that profile photo. Great. We saw that as a big crunch and we're like, is there another way to do this? Um, but obviously we still need to do marketing.Like obviously the project needs to be marketed. Um, and we're like, what if instead of just giving it to one celebrity or influencer. What if we just give that to the community and instead of just one big amount to one person, we just spread it out to the community. I'm like, well, that ties in with the whole, you know, web three N model.So that's how we went. And we just created a system that allows us to do that. Essentially the community gets rewarded for, um, marketing the, the project. And I feel like that's worked one just for us. Yeah. I mean, that's my, that's my opinion, but I think, you know, if you jump on Twitter and you just look at all the activity from lazy lion holders, it feels like it's sort of evolved beyond that as well.This is awesome, dude, this is some alpha for anybody looking to start a project. Seriously. I noticed that there's your marketing right there. And if you're looking to create an NFT project, yeah. I mean, what a great way, love that. And, you know, look at the numbers you guys have too in building the community and the community.I mean, being so loyal months after the launch. So clearly that rewards is working. Um, I saw a picture on Twitter. That you guys had a meetup in New York city, some lions holders. Um, were you guys involved in that? Have you met any, uh, lions holders and, uh, you know, talk to us about future events for lion?Hey, the Kings and I wish we were that. So where, um, we're still in lockdown here and study CD. Um, so I think we're just now starting to get out of lockdown, but as soon as we can fly out, like desperately, we'll be meeting up with laser line holders, but no, that was community led. Um, a lot of, a lot of really good feedback actually from that one.Um, everybody seemed to really enjoy themselves. Um, but yeah, that was a little community, but we'll definitely look at doing more of that. Um, as soon as we're able to fly out. That's awesome. I mean, showing the initiative by the community there, I mean, that's something we don't see out of every project, uh, doing these, you know, these meetups.So a, another great sign of how big this community really is. Um, I did see, you know, that there are quite a few celebrities that also own lazy lions. Um, that's something we talk about a lot on the show. A lot of athletes does Bryant, Josh Hart, Seth Curry, uh, Tyrese Haliber and also we've got Jake Paul John rule.Uh, talk to us a little bit, you know, I know you guys didn't go after all these celebrities, what does it mean to see some of them get involved in the project in terms of validation going forward? Man, it's really cool. Uh, it's really cool, but you. Uh, just in general, just with the community, like what I know it's sort of gone away from the question, but just what we love, 4,600 holders, like jumping into the, or like I sometimes find, must find myself just going like, well, is this sort of like a dream?Like you sorta just have to step back. You're like, well, I'm just going to wake up. And that damn like went back in August. This never happened. Or just, you know, continuing on with whatever else we're doing. Um, so it's sort of surreal like that just with the community, which is a really cool thing. But, um, no, I mean like the celebrities in the.Uh, the athletes, um, yeah, that's been all organic or organic. Sorry. I'm like nothing from us anyways. Like the, the teams specifically bringing in those ones. Um, but yeah, I think it's really cool. Like, it just goes to back, I guess they had belief in either the project and the community or, you know, it's probably because they resonate with the art as well.Um, like from a few of the things that I've seen. Um, which I guess makes sense. You know, everyone feels like, you know, a lot of people feel like they're aligned, particularly athletes. Uh, um, yeah. It's, uh, Awesome. I got a highlight Tyrese Halliburton for a minute. Cause we talked about him last week on the show because the big news was that he, uh, wore a pair of sneakers during an NBA game, featuring his board ape on his shoe.So my question for you is, you know, has there been any talks of Tyrese Haliber and having his lion on his shoe? Is that something you guys would love to see? And what has the reaction been from the community of that possible? I think that's so cool. Hey, like now that we're seeing it as he's going into a culture like that.Yeah. That's um, no, that's awesome. Um, I got a lot of respect for board apps as well. I mean, they sort of paved the way for a lot of projects out outta here right now. I think it'd be really cool if you wanted to do something like that. And with the lazy lines, I mean, I dunno, how's the community feel about that?That guys in the chat, let us know. I mean, I'm seeing a comment here when lion shoe, uh, you know, if that's something you guys would love to see an NBA game with lazy lion, uh, sneakers being worn, uh, you know, I know we got a ton of press about the board apes shoes last week, and it was really cool to just see an NFT, you know, on a shoe in real life.There it is on screen. Um, you know, and I love her and changed his shoes. Uh, you know, pretty much every game. So I have a feeling, you know, that he's not done and there's his lazy lion there on screen. So, uh, can we get that on a shoe? I think that'd be pretty sweet. Yeah, that's awesome. You called it Chris.Let's see it let's make it happen. The crowd would be roaring. David says great comment there, Dave. All right, guys. So back to the discord really quick. So again, you guys have over 80 K discord members, you know, I'm sure we've all been crazy. Discords where they're spamming and just out of control. What do you guys do to manage the discord?Now we've got a great team, great team, and that's, um, you know, not just, uh, uh, in just the community managers that we have in there, but even the moderators as well. And I think anyone in the community with. Um, you know, a lot of people I could shout out individually, but yeah, the mods, the community managers, um, I support team and even just like the RA, we've got like different roles.Like we have one called like a role, uh, Royal king, sorry. And these are like community members that are sorta like self appointed by the community itself. It's funny. It's like we don't even choose. It's like, it's very obvious it should be this role. And they're the ones that are sort of. The community outside of the actual moderators.And I feel like the community itself just does a great job of like, self-governing like if somebody comes in and sends somebody that something that they shouldn't it's very quickly resolved by itself, which is just a beautiful thing. Um, so it's like, even though we, you know, the more and more we scale up and grow, um, it hasn't been too much of the.Um, but yeah, that's, that's how it sort of does it, so it doesn't get, like, it gets crazy at times, for sure. Especially on like, you know, Lauren's days and like rewards, especially. And we've got that one coming up this Friday. Um, when the, uh, Downey's sent out, it gets pretty, did pretty well on that day because it's a bit of fun, but, uh, now it's all governed quite well.I think that's awesome. How active are you guys? Both in the discord. And do you have any like favorite channels in there? I'm probably a bit too active in the, um, in the disc, like considering, like I'm also, I'm like leading up like the product team and obviously like, uh, just trying to keep my eyes on everything else in the, in the project.Um, but man, it's just so addicting being in the discordant. Like what do you, I guess it's just like, it's hard not to be what up in the, in the moment. And then you're sitting there for like half an hour, just chatting back and forth with everybody in the. And the community. I think you get FOMO too. Like you want to scroll back and see what you've missed.You said this falling through your phone for a little bit to try to catch up with everybody and what they're saying, but in terms of favorite channel, I would have to say it's probably, um, it's probably, it's probably cabana bar. That's our, that's our main channel for lazy line holders. Um, so it's sort of, you know, it's only available to them.Um, but when that channel starts to pick up, it's really fast to pick up on. There's a lot of great discussions that, um, Uh, so yeah, you learn a lot and it's, it's great speaking with the community, uh, specifically lazy line holders. And then, yeah, that would be probably my favorite channel. I'd say there's lots of learning.Yeah, love that. So we've seen a lot of discord hacks over the last couple of weeks, you know, discord, Twitter, hacks, you know, different kinds of schemes going on there. Are you guys taking any precautions towards, you know, protecting the discord? Uh, let's start with you. Yeah. Sure. So recently we've done like a, an audit of our bots just to ensure that there's no, no leftover bots that are lurking, that we sort of don't need.Um, majority of our web hooks. I know they can be either a bit risky, um, in regards to, yeah. So I know that one of the disciplines I apparently got, you know, got it. They got into it because of a web hook. So we started to, you know, just review the web books, make sure they're all clean. Make sure there's nothing we don't know about.Um, we've started to leave sticky bots, uh, sticky notes in each of our. I know that sometimes you can get DMS from fake collab land. Can you try to verify your NFTs? So we have sticky notes that, um, you know, just say, make sure, like, just confirm correct collab, land, which other scams, it leads the country, uh, of that channel so nobody can see like, so no collab then can sort of see who's typing, you know, exclamation mark join to verify that.And if they, so just little things here and there to reach clean up the discord, make sure there's nothing that's sort of, you know, leftover to ensure the safety of the community. That's what we've been doing, just to make sure that nothing happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty much that. And um, I mean, cause our discord is like so important to us as well, right?Like it's such like it's front and center of our. Um, like the project strategy, right? It's like, that's what we're really trying to grow and build a community. Cause like we've always said that like the project is the community, the community is the project. And like we're making a, we're making our bed on the discolored platform.Um, that's not to say it's perfect. Like I feel like there's, you know, there's a few things that I, you know, I'd love to suggest as a disco, um, team members and just, you know, things that I think would benefit the. Um, overall, particularly as entity and crypto is becoming more and more of a thing that's using discord.Um, cause like we've let so many important, um, possibly it's like we've got like a professional networking section. Um, cause it's funny. It goes, it's sort of gone away from the question, but it sort of ties into like what's the value in an annotate? Um, like that's a question that I've, you know, I had asked her a few times basically for people that aren't encrypted, like why would you get an NFTA?Like what do you actually get out of it? Yeah. Uh, like one of the most obvious things is the community. And some people just look at that and go, oh, like, what is that? It's like, well, like, you know, it's just because they're cartoon characters. I think the stigma is like, people think it's it's little children or like fat kids in their mother's basements that are buying these entities.Right. And it's like, that's not the, that's definitely not the case. Right. Like, Like we're speaking with, you know, mid like C level executives with doctors, with lawyers, like whatever their industry they're in, you know, our reporters, like people at the top of their industry, right. Are like really smart, intelligent people.So it's like, um, how much does it cost to get into like a professional networking? Um, uh, you know, like, oh, like, you know, how will, what's the cost of that to be a part of that? Create those kinds of connections. Right. And that's something we've doubled down on. So we have like a whole professional networking section and in the discord, um, like we have gaming sections, um, marketplace, uh, like all of these other things.So it's really critical to us. And security is really important as well. Um, those hacks are pretty scary. So it's just things that were, yeah. Like what, what nine said, those are some of the things that we're doing to make sure that, that Allstate. Uh, secure love that. So you actually just led me on to the next question I had for you guys.I'm going to have a list of pull up this chart here. So someone posted this in the tweet and the tweet last night, and it's interesting because it breaks down all the demographics, right? So there's, you know, 4.6 owners. Yeah. So this is really interesting, right? Gender, you know, 92% male, 8% female, top three age groups, 26 to 35 leads.Uh, 36 to 45 is second. See, I wouldn't have guessed that 19 to 20 five-year-olds is third. Uh, this one to 53% are married. 44% are single 60%, no kids, 33%, one to two kids. Can you guys tell us a little bit more about all these stats, man? This is really cool. Yeah, it's really interesting. I think some of those numbers would love for them to be a little bit different, um, particularly cause we have.And I think if you compare it to the average would probably be a bit better. It's basically in terms of, you know, having more or, um, more females in the, in the project being inclusive as obviously one of our core values rather than being exclusive. Um, but this was just part of a survey that we, we did a while back, um, Uh, yeah.And it's interesting, like target market is, you know, 25 to 45 year old males, obviously high disposable income as well. Um, but, uh, yeah, it's definitely interesting. We thought other brands would be, you know, would love to see that kind of information, particularly now as we've got the collectibles, um, you know, probably sneak thinking a bit too much of that.Um, but just to look at about that, but that's something that we've got coming out. Um, Quite soon. Uh, and that, I think it's an opportunity for, you know, we've had so many requests to do like collabs, um, you know, so many projects that have hit us up and we're like, Hey, can we do something? And we just haven't done anything with them strictly because we just haven't wanted to pay like any influences.That's not been our strategy on the really cringe. Um, it just goes against that values. So this is an opportunity for us to actually partner up with brands in a meaningful way. So that's why we shared that. That data. Um, and I think it's quite valuable daughter to, to anyone in any entities, but yeah, that's, that was the reasoning behind it.Awesome. So one of the things we've talked a lot about on the roadmap, obviously NFTs have seen huge interest this year. And we also have news that Coinbase a leading crypto platform is launching their own NFT marketplace. So they actually pulled their audience asking for favorite NFT communities. And of course the lions community.Came through and roared and Coinbase actually retweeted. And they said roar louder for the people in the back. Please. Uh, tell us what this means. Uh, you know, have you been in talks with Coinbase at all or is this just validation that Coinbase sees the large community here? Um, that's one of those things where I probably shouldn't say too much, maybe just because I can't say too much, but I think, yeah, that might be enough there just to say that you can't comment.So maybe we got it. We got it out of Yeti. But I think it's really cool. All right. I think it's really cool and it's really exciting time. So we'll see what, um, you know, we'll see what happens with the platform. And then we will got a lot of hopes. Um, but at the same time, you know, like we've got to be a little bit skeptical.Like there's a bit of pressure on them to make sure everything comes out. Well, it's not a guarantee or anything. Like we saw what happened with like Google plus, right. Um, just because you're the biggest doesn't mean it's going to be a guarantee, but, um, I think the fact that they moving into entity.Entities and they're focusing on it as is extremely bullish. Right. Um, so I've got, I've got high hopes and they got my support. Love at Google plus. Wow. Take taken me back there. I definitely, I definitely had a Google plus account where I would share links to articles that I wrote to try to get increased page views, but yeah, goo Google plus a diet and unfortunate death there.But yeah, that's a phrase I haven't heard in a while. Um, I think we have AR in the chat and I believe there was a mention of a tattoo. We do have a picture and a video of this tattoo. Uh, again, we, we talked to a lot of NFTE teams, right? And w we occasionally see strong engagement and we do not see too many tattoos.So tell us a little bit about, you know, uh, why this tattoo came to be, um, looks like AR you know, called out for the floor price and then got the tattoo. Is this something you guys do about at a time and how did the community. Man. I think everybody loves it. Like look at how clean that thing. Like man, whoever the tattoo was like.Yeah. He's, that's a really good word. But um, no, that was all right. That was something he called out back when we first, when we first launched it, I remember seeing that and it was like, um, did he say it's like, when were you reached to a, I'm going to get my live. And I remember looking at that and like, obviously, like I'm extremely bullish on what Wade I've got completely.Like from the early days, I was like, sure, like, you know, we can do, we can achieve whatever we set our minds to. Right. And I still believe that. Um, so I was like this, guy's going to have to get a tattoo of his life. That is a sweet looking tattoo. Uh, I mean, loved watching that video. So clean, so shout out to the artists too.Um, but yeah, I mean, seeing someone get a tattoo, I mean, that's great validation for, for the longevity of this project and the community. So, uh, an AR in the chat, I mean, a nice looking tattoo and thanks for joining us for the stream today. Uh, along with the tattoo talk and validation, another area where we've seen NFT projects, you know, connect with their community.As we just had Halloween and I saw some lazy lions, Halloween costumes. Um, you know, is that something that you guys, uh, you know, called for, did a contest at all? Or is this just people happen in because they wanted to dress as their lion. Yeah, this was just, this was purely community-based. Um, when I actually saw that image and retweeted it on the main Twitter account, that was absolutely awesome that people were getting so involved.I really liked it. I'd love that lazy hat as well. It looks so clean. I want it personally, but it was, yeah, that was just completely community driven in hold a competition. They just went out of their way and yeah, it was just beautiful to see. That's awesome. Uh, yeah, I mean, what a cool Halloween costume.That is a sweet looking hat too. Um, but keep that in mind, any lions in the chat, if you're looking for a Halloween costume next year, I know it's a year away, but start planning to work on your lion costume now. Um, so you can be ready. Uh, you mentioned a little bit about collectibles, right? So we got a little bit of a teaser.One of the things we are called the roadmap after all is we always try to hear about, you know, what's next. So I know you guys can't share too much, but can we get a little bit more information on collectibles and maybe what's ahead for lion holders. Nine, if you don't have a problem. I mean, why not? Like I've got a lot of respect for these show, so, yeah.All right. So essentially this ties in without values and mission as well. Right. Which is obviously like our value is one of our values is, you know, rather than being an exclusive community, which you don't know a lot of other. Uh, you know, focusing on being, which is fine and like that works really well.And I've got a lot of respect for a lot. A lot of other projects, I would never bash another one, but, um, like ours is to be inclusive rather than exclusive. So, um, we're trying to build obviously the biggest and it's the community, that's our mission. And part of that is bringing new people that aren't necessarily in entities right now.And I feel like we sort of shoulder that responsibility as well. Um, you know, just from what other people have told me, it seems like we kind of, one of the leading projects now, at least like in the top, you know, I think like on open slate, like top 40 or all time trader those types of things. So I feel like we have a responsibility to actually, um, you know, to try and lead the space and, and bring in new people into the community rather than just, you know, those existing members who already have entities.And I think the challenge is. Because it's still so early, like the interfaces and everything, it's not super easy to get into it. Like I just, the act of having to create a wallet and minting and gas, it's sort of like, you know, I said, it's like, if you're telling a friend or family member of someone that you know, coworker about entities and they're not in it already, it's like, Hey, we've got a lazy lion.This community is amazing. Oh, cool. How much is it? And he's like one eighth and I look up one eight. They're like what? That's not how I'm going to get started. Right. So it's like, okay, how can we say. I have those, um, people still become a part of the community without having to fork out that much straightaway.And that's where this sort of referral program collectibles thing came to mind. So essentially what it is is every community member or every new person that you invite to the community, all they have to do is join discord and they will get a pack of tokens for free that they can claim on our website.Um, and this pack will be a random, you know, it'll be a set of cards. Um, you know, like we had to have a lane, next one will be, um, uh, like, uh, Thanksgiving. Right. Which is what we've got planned. So that's probably a sneak peek there more than I should. Um, so there'll be, you know, a set of eight, eight, uh, Thanksgiving cards.Um, and every pack that you open, you'll get two random ones. And the idea is complete the set and you enter to win a lazy lines. Um, so this way, anyone who's not in the community already can just join up, join the discord, get a pack. And if they want to get more packs, they just invite more people. And we cover the gas company.These tokens appear on open. See they can list them free without having to pay any gas that's all covered. So someone could come in, not pay a single cent, get one of the rare tokens, list them and then, you know, make a profit or try and complete the set and win a prize. Um, and I think it just ties in, like we said, without values gives them an opportunity to experience what minting is.Um, and then, you know, bringing in the ecosystem and understand the true benefits of web three. So. A bit of a lengthy explanation, but yeah, that's, that's what the collectibles ideas. We appreciate the background there. Yeah. When's the launch. Yep. So right now that is in, um, we've got like a soft bed or internally.Um, that's scheduled for launch, uh, next week, next week. So we've got rewards this week. Oh, wow. Is that a big thing? And then we've got this coming out next week. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, pretty excited. You'll definitely see. Um, I think this will, yeah, we'll see how it goes, but I can see it having a pretty positive effect.I think so. Yeah. I, we we've seen some of these card ones do well too, and that's a great way. Like you said, to bring new people into the community and also the referral program, uh, you know, I'm a big fan of that. So. You know, uh, we wish you luck with that. And thanks for breaking that news here on the roadmap, it's always exciting to, you know, hear what's next from these projects.And, you know, I think that, uh, community out there is loving. Absolutely. I mean, that's amazing bringing new people in is the biggest part of the game. That's that's really awesome. Uh, let's take it to, we have some questions from the chat here. Um, the first question that I saw earlier in the interview today, we had a question from Brendan bald.Uh, he's asking, do you guys have any plans or hopes to develop the IP into film or TV or even comic books?So the cool thing is I've already seen a few projects do it. Um, and I think they're just, you know, they hold the, uh, lazy lines and, uh, feed themselves once you hold it, you're able to go and create these things yourself. Um, I suppose things like we're open to it, but there's no immediate plans for it, but I've seen a few cool things going around on Twitter.Yeah. I love that. Um, let's see. Do we have any more questions from the chat here, Chris, that we want to think we got most of the questions answered. Well, you know, uh, people loved hearing the Coinbase conversation again, and people loving this roadmap talk. Um, we're seeing merge now asked from Morgan. Um, you guys, I think you, do you have some merch already or pens for Merck in the works?Uh, we've got much in the works. So, um, you know, I've seen, what's been being worked on, um, I think the community's going to love what we, what we release with this. Um, so yeah, not, not quite yet, but that's in the works. It's coming out soon. And then mass. How about that? A question there from a breezy in the chat, uh, that, that could be a fun one.Oh, yeah. So when Arizona ice tea collab, can you guys tell us more about that? Is that a rumor or, you know, is this question coming out of nowhere? Um, yeah, I mean, there's nothing like official going on. Um, what's nice. Is it sort of ties back into the collective. Um, to cause now, like again, if there are any brands listening as well, I feel like there's definitely an opportunity for the brands who are wanting to get into entities, particularly with like more established projects.Um, at least for us, this is an opportunity for us to actually partner up with brands in a way that's actually beneficial for everyone involved. So, um, you know, if we were doing those, you know, biweekly, um, releases of collectible cards and one of them. The Arizona theme, just for the sake of argument. Um, but yeah, not nothing official, but we're definitely open.Perfect. Yeah, I did see Arizona as one of the owners mentioned in the, uh, celebrity spotlight, um, on that cool graphic and the facts that we shared. So I think that's where maybe that rumor comes from. Um, but we'll wait. We'll wait to hear more details from you guys in the future. Well, I think that's going to do it for today's interview, you know, nine Asher big.Thank you for both of you coming on our show. I know it's early morning where you guys are at, um, your flexibility with doing that. Also shout out to the latest science community. I mean, mass, look at them. They're in full force here in the chat during this whole interview. So a shout out to lazy.Absolutely. I mean, this has honestly been one of the biggest communities I've seen and I'm personally measured by the Twitter. You know, I see on my Twitter, the profile picture, I mean, I see a lion, I would say one out of every 10. If that, I mean, you guys are killing it. I can't wait to have you guys come on again and just, you know, do some updates in the.Yeah, man, this is a lot of fun. Um, I have like, everyone's been waiting for it for a while. So this is tape spot. It went by a lot quicker than I thought it would. you know, but, uh, yeah, not, King's definitely out there doing this. Yeah, well, we will, we will have to have you guys back on. Um, so thanks again, nine and Asher, uh, before I let everyone go here, uh, mass, we do not have a show tomorrow.Um, I know I said we're going Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 PM. Eastern time. Benzinga is hosting. PAC awards. And actually there's going to be some awards given in crypto and NFT categories.

We'll have the co-founder of referable, and we'll also dive into the news and some current and upcoming drops and events to talk about, but without further ado, everyone, this is the.All right. What's up everyone? Yeah. Welcome to the roadmap. Benzing us new NFT show. We currently air Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:00 PM. Eastern time. We're working on getting more showtimes cause I know everyone on. Wants more NFT coverage. So if you guys would like fencing to add more NFT shows, go ahead and hit one in the chat and go ahead and smash that like as well.So we can get started up. Let me go ahead and bring on my cohost mass mass. What's going on with. Yo what's going on, Chris? How you doing today, man? Doing great. I mean another exciting week, right? There's so much always going on in NFT lay on there's mints every day there's events, every day. There's, you know, uh, new NFT drops for existing products.There's new roadmaps put out. There's just so much going on out there. Absolutely. Well, first of all, the shout out to the chat, I'm looking at it right now. It looks like we have some. Does he dragon, uh, owners in there. So shout out, you know, thumbs up really quick. Let's get the show going. Uh, so shout out to them.We have some amazing headlines to get to today and yeah. Yeah. We're going to have to dive into dragons in a minute. Uh, it looks like that community is showing up in full force today, uh, mass it's Tuesday. So one of the first things we like to do is talk about the last week, right? So I want to talk about last week's top 10 in sales volume real quick.No surprise Axion infinity and leading the way again for the third straight week sales of 109.0 million. Then we had crypto punks. Number two, art blocks. Number three, again, no big surprises. The big surprise was cup cats, right up cats coming in fourth place, 16.9 mil. Sales volume of 3300%. Um, that was the big gainer and then cool cats at five board apes at six mute Napes at seven and then the other big gainer, lazy lions that eighth lazy lions up 36%.They did have a NFT drop that we'll talk about in a minute. So they did see some heavy volume from that. And then mass, I went and I looked past the top 10 and the other big surprise. Was NBA top shot. They had sales value of 6.8 million last week up 91.8%. Um, I think they were 14th place. So again, not in the top 10, but a nice increase.That was a project we highlighted last week that it was gaining some more, uh, you know, steam getting back up and running. NBA, top shots forth all time with sales volume of 720 million. So nothing to sneeze at here. That's our top 10, uh, mass let's get into some, uh, recent mints and events. Uh, tell me about these galactic apes.Yeah, so we had a stealth drop this weekend, galactic apes. They dropped no marketing. They shut down their discord. They didn't post anything on Twitter. Uh, they have a Genesis drop, which is around a hundred pieces. They launched before board apes. And I think the floor for those was around 15. I think it's definitely much higher now.So there was some sort of substance there, but they dropped 10,000 pieces. I think it was it. What? Saturday night they sold. Yeah. Sold out in five minutes and then just the hype after that has been absolutely insane. I'm a big fan of the art. If you look at them, they're pretty cool. Um, yeah, so the floor is around one eighth right now.And you know, there's some sort of gamification they're doing where you have to collect, you know, the apes, they have three different types of IOPS. They have gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees. You got to collect all three to play the game. Which we're going to see soon what they mean by that. But a lot of hype here.Were you able to meet Chris or have you followed up with them? I followed this project. I wasn't able to mint. Um, the timing just didn't work out with that contract, but I mean that this artwork looks great. And I like the fact that there is three different classes, you know? Having that gamification, you know, wanting people to collect all three or have more than one ape, I think could provide, you know, some additional value.Um, this is a project where, you know, it's one east now and I think the, the flipping's done. And I think this one could have, you know, some long-term lasting value. So I'm definitely looking at it, you know, as more of a long-term play here. Uh, I think the value is going to increase. Absolutely. Yeah. And then I know something big happened yesterday.Do you want to tell us what that was? As far as we had a big slab? Ah, changes. Yeah. I mean, we always talk about celebrities on the show. Again, celebrities don't make or break a project, but when you get a big name to attach themselves to your project, especially if it's as well known as Shaquille O'Neal Shaq himself.15.5 million followers on Twitter and he changed his profile picture to a creature creature world, a well-known, uh, NFT project and mass, no surprise here in the last 24 hours, creature sales $6.2 million. Number four in sales value on cryptos Liam and sales value of 1000. 144%. That is the shack of fact.And this one's got some other big names in that too. I think Gary V owned some, um, you know, and some other big celebrities. So this isn't a first one. The floor price is 2.35. Now on these, um, I think it was a well under two before, more like closer to one. Um, I mean, and these sales just took off yesterday.I mean, this is kind of a different one, right? We, we haven't seen as much artwork like this, so I, I like it. And Shaq didn't really make an announcement. Right. He just changed his profile picture so that there's a chance he could put out a tweet or say something about creature and that could, uh, bring even more value.What do you think? Yeah, that's the crazy part, right? He didn't make an announcement. He didn't say anything. He just changed his profile. And that's it. And you know, and that's so crazy that that created this wave of FOMO, you know, big whales started buying after that and the price shot up. I forget what it was at before, but it's kind of substantially.Um, so yeah, if he does shout out, we don't know if there's a collaboration. We don't know anything. We don't know if he's just a fan. If it was paid, we don't know anything at all. So it's going to be interesting to watch for the next couple of days. I liked the art, uh, creatures, you know, th I think it's different.I think it's definitely blue chip material. So we'll see where that. Um, another big mint that happened yesterday. So it seems like we're in the cycle of cute profile pictures now. Right? So a lot of these cute profile picture NFTs. Going through the moon here. And we had a big one yesterday, winter bears.Uh, were you able to meet those Chris? You know, I wasn't, I'm sad to say that I was actually on a call with a team member here at Benzinga. I saw the activity picking up and by the time I got off the phone, these things had already sold out gas was running crazy, but I mean, it shouldn't come as that big of a surprise, right.Once people saw this, this cute profile that is, you know, the, the hot play right. And look at that. I mean, a 0.2 floor, I think it hit almost 0.3 yesterday. Um, you know, and these were cheap to mint, right? So this was a, a nice project for anyone who was able to, uh, to catch that move there. Exactly. And it seems like, you know what it is, it's a FOMO from cool cats, you know, these all kind of resemble or seem inspired by cool cats.Cool cats at ten eight floor this weekend, there was a big celebration. It was trending on Twitter. So it's no surprise that people are priced out of that. They're trying to find, you know, projects that are cute, like this, and you know, can build community. So community is a big part. Plus the cute profile picture.Definitely. So then the next project I'm scared to talk about. Cause the chat might start going crazy, but we have, we have dizzy dragons. So dizzy dragons, they announced an update to their roadmap. Right? We are the roadmap after all. That's one of the things we still look at, you know, on these projects. So I remember watching this project when it was like 0.0 3.04.They did a fusion where you could merge together to have your dragons sweats, a deflationary project. Right? So there's 6,000 of them right now. The floor is 0.19, and they're actually still fusing through, uh, Thursday the 30th. So that's going to be the last day that you can fuse under the current road.And then they announced that they're expanding that busy universe and lower with a new collection. So if you own a fuse dragon, you will get a free claim to the new collection. So right now, if you were to buy two dresses, Fuse them together. You're going to get a free mint on that next project, a mass, you know how much I like, you know, the, the roadmaps and I like buying into these projects where you get a new NFT out of owning.I'm a big fan of that reward system. I think it provides good value. So here you have two things, right? You have deflationary, there's going to be less dragons out. To getting a new claim to me, that's a win-win. So, uh, I I've been looking at these dragons, hopefully I'm not driving the price up too much right now talking about them.Cause, uh, this is what I, my watch list. What do you think mass? Yeah, so I'm a big fan of deflationary, uh, you know, roadmaps. I like to see less supply or just, you know, ways to reward early community members. And you know, we're still so early in that of T world that doing this, you know, as the projects take on, you know, as more people join.There's less supply, more demand your award people, that huddles. So I love it. And I liked the art. It's pretty cool. Yeah. I'd love the art and it sounds like maybe we need to have the, the dizzy dragons team come on a future show and tell us more about the roadmap in this artwork. So if you're out there, hit us up on Twitter, let us know, and we, we can get Drizzy, uh, you know, with everyone on this.Let's do it. Um, so speaking of, you know, drops, we have not, uh, not fungible bones. You've seen those Chris. I have, they were kind of cool look and right. Cause they were kind of unique. Um, you know, something I hadn't seen yet, um, you know, the skeleton. So we also have a bit of a Halloween theme and mass, these things got hot in a hurry.This is a 10,000 NFT project. The floor is point to, um, you know, this was a cheaper project to begin with that people just said, no, I, I, this one might've been free. This one just shot up in a hurry. And it got a ton of attention. Exactly. And just, yeah, like you said, Halloween's coming up. This seems like a perfect Halloween, like huddle play.Look at that 180 7 eat. That's crazy. Yeah, we might, we might have to do a show on, uh, some Halloween NFTs cause man, I I've been lucky. I I've been thinking, Hey, what's going to be the next, uh, NFTs that everyone, you know, circles around for, for Halloween. We're already seeing some move up. Uh, but I think there's a couple more that could be going.So, uh, stay tuned for that. A future show here. Um, maths, we've got, uh, another. You know, well-known project, lazy lion. So lazy lions, the mint price was 0.05. They sold out in less than five hours. And these things, they recently dropped a bungalows, which were free for all holders minus the cost of gas. Um, and look at that floor price, the floor price to two on these now.I mean, and you heard me say 0.05 to mint that I've seen lots of people with this. I'll picture, which again, that's part of the, that's part of the, you know, the big, uh, you know, bull case for NFTs, right? With some of these ones that are animals. They're cute. They do well as a PFP, as you want to see a lot of people that have them as their PFP.Yes. I've seen a lot of lions out there and I think they look cool. Right? I mean, great artwork. You've got some different, uh, traits there. I mean, the, the cigarettes, the different hair color, you got hats on some, I mean, we got the beanie hat there and then the bungalows right there. I mean, that's kind of cool.Right? Where's your lion going to live? You get a free mint of a bungalow for your, for your lion to, uh, to live at. So a nice reward again for the. Yeah, that's a great point, you know, and I've the lays line community. I see them everywhere. You know, like you said, profile pictures. I see so many of those on Twitter, on divert.And to me, that's a strong sign of the community. So that's really cool to see.Awesome. Well, I, I, I know we've got one that is on referable. Let's save that one for when we get into our interview. Mazza art blocks. We talked about it last week, right? The Cromey squiggles. Did you happen to see that there was another big sale for the Cromey squiggles? Yeah, there was a big sale. I think it was me crummy squiggle 4 6, 9, 7 for 945 Eve, which is around 2.8 million.Uh, there's been big sales in the last week or so, which is interesting. Cause you know, art blocks has, you know, there was a slight dip in the last couple of weeks. So it's interesting to see, you know, the squiggles going for these all times. I mean, those things just continue to, you know, set records and, you know, $2.8 million for a crummy squiggle that that is insane.And art blacks continues to do more and more drops a mass. How about alpha Betty? Right. We had alpha Betty team on not too long ago. And we saw that floor price rise over the past couple of days. We did see some well-known traders and discords, you know, circle around this, but also. Alpha Betty announced a Dow, right?So current and future owners of alpha-beta will own part of the Betty Dow where they will get 2% of secondary sales. And then that Dow also owns 132. 29 coloring books, a mutant eight yacht club, five east and another one east in other NFTs. Uh, you can see some of them in that picture there, um, mass, I'm a big fan of the Dow, uh, component too.So what do you think of this? Uh, alpha-beta news. Yeah, we liked the Betties and shout out to the team. We had them on a couple of weeks ago, such a great team, and to see them, you know, bring the doubt to life is pretty cool. Yeah. I mean, I love the work. I think it's a great longterm play. They've been around for some time in the NFT world.So seeing them have a nice bounce back and trending again. And then mass, have you ever heard of these, uh, the, the bras, this is on rare trouble. Um, Alyssa, if we can get that artwork up, this is an interesting one, right? So we're going to talk to Alex from repairable and I hadn't heard of this project, but I recently found it.I like the artwork. What do you, what do you think of that matters? I mean, these are kind of cool looking. Yeah, they are, uh, the bras. Let me see, I'm looking at them now. Let's see. Yeah, they're pretty cool. Yeah. So we're going to have to do more research in that, or maybe get this team, get this team on. I mean, I haven't seen anything, you know, exactly like this, which I'm always a fan of, you know, uniqueness, something different.And again, you can find these on referable looks like they are auctioning off right now. Um, you know, so, uh, We do have an interview to get to. So I'm super excited. Uh, we get to talk to Alex niqab, the head of product, and co-founder from rare trouble. So in the south further ado, let's bring on Alex, Alex, welcome to the roadmap.How are you doing? I'm doing great. Thank you guys for hearing me today. I'm so excited. Yeah, we're excited to hear more about referable. Of course, referable is a well-known NFT platform. Uh, but we want to dive into, to some of the specifics, but first off, Alex, can you just tell viewers who may not be familiar with referable?You know, what is rare ball? Variable is all about creating, selling your own NFTs. So we started two years ago as the platform where anyone could create an MTS back then that was a luxury. Uh, every platform was closed out. To pass the B VIP, uh, invite system, get yourself verified, button variable, like everyone was able.So it's like everyone welcome NFT marketplace. And we are really into the yellow and fun and playful stuff. I guess this, this part of, of the world, uh, being, being nice design UI UX is what excites us a lot in the NFC space. Perfect. Well, uh, you know, we talk a lot about big NFT projects, um, you know, celebrities or well-known projects that launched they mint strong secondary sales.Can you tell us about some of the most successful projects that have launched on. Yeah, uh, Justin, this weekend, we had the large drop by . Uh, you can find it in the, uh, in the top collection section, uh, and the hot collection section, uh, they met 700,000, uh, just out of the five or 600. So that basically was like 30.Is there item in the auction? Uh, you can see them all over the world is the famous boys collection, uh, all over the Twitter. Uh, like a lot of, a lot of guys in Twitter have that on their avatar. I think STANY from RV. The protocol, the defy protocol has one on his avatar, so pretty famous one. Uh, and also the previous ones, a big one, probably.No. He ate a person who launched the nuts 10 K, but 8,888 K and T eight collection, uh, of his devils. So he is like long time variable user. He made several consecutive drops of a hundred, 150,000 doors, uh, over and over again with love him so much. I own one. Awesome. Well, we do know that there are, you know, uh, some other NFP platforms out there.I won't name any, but Alex, can you tell us, you know, how is referable different than some of your competitors out? Yeah. So first of all, verbal was always really appealing to the creators. So we have an extended minting functionality. You can mint NFTs with images, gifs, MP3, MP4. She cannot unlock about content.You can, you can check the arbitrary Royal. So like 50%, 30%, the way you want build that into your item and, uh, obviously customize your profile. So it of these was like, uh, get to the leaderboard. It always was about the creator himself. Follow a lot of social aspect on the platform and you have the whole following feed where only the items from the people who follow are displayed.So we love this, this social aspect. Love that. So I have a question for you as far as target audience and customers a little bit more into it. Um, you know, so how do you guys go about finding your ideal customer or target audience as of now considering, you know, all those other NFT platforms are popping up and you guys have been around for a while, which is great.Yeah. We've been around for awhile. Uh, I think our best, our best strategies to be in community. Uh, we are known as community owned and community operated platform. We launched a governance token a year ago, but that's another story, but basically, uh, it's just always be on the spotlight on Twitter. We do have a BD guy, guys that are on the lookout for everyone for big drops, the French Montana team, uh, recently, uh, Sold out there.They're physical sneakers and there are some digital left. You can check those out. Um, Um, our, our target audience is basically the more consumer-based the more mainstream audience, biggest, uh, we design variable to be simple, to be easy to use and fun. And that's why we're looking for people who just want to do something fun for their audience.So not to be like highly transactional, um, but more like cultural spectrum. Love that. And that's a great point. You actually talked about my next question, which was the governance token. So a variable has a governance governance token called Rory. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? Yeah. So we'll launch that.Uh, again, we, we started as the most open platform and basically that was another step in becoming even more open. So we'll launch the governance token about a year ago in July, 2020. And that was a massive success. We were amongst the first like 10 projects that launched the liquidity, uh, mining, uh, Um, but, uh, defy projects in their case, like waging mining is like I supplied capital.Uh, whereas in the NFT project, in the marketplace, uh, liquidity is the supply and demand on the marketplace. That's why. Rewarding suppliers and demanders and the marketplace. So basically buyers and sellers, and we distribute governance rights over the platform to the buyers and sellers that how you're you basically receive a cash back on every deal that you've made it where I's like from 5% to 20% on the G on the volume now, uh, at, at, at the time we started, that was a hundred percent.So basically everything was for. So that's the process of progressive decentralization of the variable of the variable project. You earn the ownership over that, and there is the Dow. Uh, we recently launched a product called. Uh, which is basically all the tech behind terrible that allows you to spin up your own NFC project, your own NXT experience much more faster than if you build that ground up.And the protocol is directly governed by the Dao completely built upon this open principles. Um, open-sourced community owned, uh, while, while bearable.com is just one of the apps on top of. So there is a buyer, but ACA system. And the very token is basically the key to that. Love that. So the goal of variable is to evolve into a full-on Dow then.Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Full on down. It's already there. It's not in yet in its best, uh, governance forum. So, uh, we do have, we do have a signaling era right now, which is basically like a multi-six snapshot voting, which has gas lists. And it's early. If you want to participate in the variable Dougie like Jordan, it's a really, never been a better time to do that.Let's go love that. Shout out now. Never a better time. We are gonna make it. Uh, Alex, uh, it was announced, uh, earlier this year when rarer BL uh, raised money that there was a partnership with dapper labs, the company behind NBA top shot. Can you give us an update on the, this partnership with dapper labs and what it means for referable?Basically, it means wearable that the flow blockchain is the next blockchain we are going to adopt, uh, the work isn't. They have a development, uh, it takes a lot of thought process to understand how do we combine two blockchains on the same path for him because they have different wallets and we need to not confuse the user with like, where, where do I go to, to get an item?And there is this, this. Big development under undergoing these days. Uh, I cannot yet say what they were going to launch, but it's, it's, it's basically a bit the next blockchain that we're going to and did that prolapse. Uh, absolutely amazing team. They have absolutely amazing blockchain. Um, now gas prices almost it's really chip, uh, really environmentally friendly.Well, the team behind cryptic curious, aversely knew how to build a blockchain for NFTs in June referable raised money in a new funding round. Can you tell us, do you know why the decision to, to raise money then? And what will it go towards? Yeah. So it's been a really fruitful year for variable in, in just January, 2021.Uh, we're braced, uh, as serious. See it from, from Coinbase ventures, going fund a and one K KX, all those, uh, all those amazing funds. And later, just like five months later, we raised another 14.2 million led by when rock and coin. So, uh, they, if it's basically the. The traction of the, of the market, uh, uh, which, which resulted in, in our understanding that we need to scale the platform.We need to scale the team. We need to, to hire a lot of, a lot of new team members and, uh, well, That always investments always go to the team members, uh, because you, you need, you need to have a lot of people to integrate new blockchains, very simply integrated credit card support. So the Moto is best. It's like, um, we're, we're going to be the best platform for mainstream.It's really easy to use supporting environmentally friendly blockchain. I'm going, multitasking, going to L tools, supporting credit cards, simplified log-in flow, all sorts of things like that are are for this. So at the time of that funding round, I saw an article that mentioned rare bull had $150 million in sales over an 18 month period.Is there any, a revenue or user metrics and figures that you can share with us to, to update viewers? Yeah. So the tutorial sales, the total sales, which are, uh, sit at the level of 212 million doors, uh, it's, it's a crazy number. I never, I never have thought that we will get out, uh, that crazy in just a couple of years.Uh, and with the 30 days, uh, numbers of, of, uh, 20 and 18 million over the past two, uh, respectfully. Um, so that's, that's pretty great. Um, again, where we're doing almost a million door per day, uh, in, in, in sales, um, and, and support a lot of creative. Perfect. So Alex, you know, we are an NFT show, but of course, Benzinga right where I am employed where a stock stock market news site.So one of the questions I have to ask, you know, is, is referable considering an IPO? Is that in the long-term plans? And maybe how close is referable to getting there? Oh, yeah. Uh, it's a really great question. Uh, we have not thought about that yet properly because obviously we have a, we have a governance token.We are moving towards a Dao. And in the same time we have a, a front-end app, which is a private company that can go public. Um, and basically the understanding of are we going public or are we going to full downside on with all the. It's unclear yet.Absolutely. So I wanted to talk to you a little bit more. Can you tell us a little bit more about the new project? Uh, the protocol. Yeah. Uh, I'm, I'm, I'm really glad that you asked. So this have been, uh, the result of basically our six months of work. Well, actually of all the two years of work, biggest, what we did is we've taken out the infrastructure behind.So the smart contracts for creating items, the smart contracts for selling and buying items, the smart contracts for royalties, uh, the tool, which is like 90% of all the code, uh, of the protocol. Tracks all the provenance, like what happened with each NFT when it was born to whom it was transferred when, and for how much that was sold, what the activity is, what are my NFT is what are the NFT insights and collection are?So this is whole like trading infrastructure. Behind variable. We, we took that and separated that into a new project, which has variable protocol. So for everyone who wants to start their own NFT project, it, it became much easier. We basically spent two years developing. Uh, our own and we know how hard that is, and that's why we, we, we made that for the community.So it's built on this open principles, open source community govern, as I mentioned. So we provide certain guarantees to the people right now. There is no, like, there is no open source indexing tool available on the market that supports all the NFTs out. So if you're building a wallet for example, and, uh, you want to show your, your customer, uh, what are the NFTs that belong to that particular wallet?You need an indexing tool that will tell you like, yeah, we know you, you can just go to blockchain and quieter. That information is like spread say in across the whole blockchain and the really, really thin layer. And we aggregate that and provide that to the. So for all the developers that want to build their project, it's, it's an awesome set of infrastructure.That's awesome, man. I love that. Can you tell us a little bit more about the revamped secondary trading? Thank you. Thank you for asking that too. So, uh, obviously in, in, in spite of this, uh, uh, 10 collections, PFP projects, uh, uh, craziness, that's going on. Uh, we, we went and revamped the whole, the whole experience of trading that collections on variable.So, uh, basically it starts, if you're a collection owner, you can go to variable, you can find that collection, you can claim ownership over that. You can set up avatar, you can set up a cover image over that. You can set up a and multiple awards. So like, let's say I want to put the 1% or community treasury.I want to put 0.5% to offset environmental impact of my collection. So set up multiple royalties and spread out the word about this collection to be traded on variable also were released the top collection section, which is now on top of the whole website, which shows you all the leader board of the.The coolest collections and, uh, we track data not only on variable, but on the whole blockchain there. So if a collection originated like 20 million, somewhere on other marketplaces, we, we, we put that data into the leaderboard. So you can find the. Leaderboard of collections on variable, you can click and collection.You can trade that collection. We, the filters by trades, uh, various types of filters, price low to high. Uh, you can now like soar this and get the floor pricing. I know that sounds basic, uh, for a lot of people. Uh, this is a available ranger at some other places, but we've been always, uh, about, we've been all this marketplace about creators, and sometimes I speak to people and they, oh, I never knew that you can trade secondary and variable at all.So I decided that they want to unpack on that you can't trade secondary and variable, and that's been an awesome experience. Love that. Yeah. So the NMT space right now, I mean, has just gone completely parabolic in the last couple months. What can variable do or what is it doing or what's going to do to, you know, kind of establish its spot.And then if T markets, you know, moving forward, Yeah. Uh, basically we stand really highly on this decentralized approach is really important. There is not many decentralized players out there. Protocol is a big play there, uh, on the marketplace layer. Uh, we are building a tool for the generator of art projects.Uh, so if you want to launch in new collection, uh, and you don't have a technical team that would help you to code or. Uh, you can approach variable and we might help you to launch this. Uh, so this, this is a nice addition to the team, but, uh, overall, along along the lines, we want to be open. We want to be decentralized and we want to be fine, fun and joyful in approaching the market.Uh, obviously going multi chain with all the new blockchains that popping up is the big part of our stress. Exactly. That's actually a great question. The salon or the car donno, any implementation of that? Any time. Uh, it's actually really interesting that you named this tool. I know Solano is hugely popular these days, just because everybody tried to scale blockchains by dividing them into shards by sharding and Solana said, no, we weren't going to do.We're going to have one just really fast and strong blockchain, uh, that, that, that played out really well for them. Uh, so Salana is, uh, in, uh, in thoughts we haven't started that, but we are really looking over this Allana and for Cardona, uh, I think it's one of the most esoteric blockchains out there. Uh, it doesn't have a lot of.The stays, they just really sparked contracts. So we haven't even approached that. The things we're looking on is flow, uh, teases polygon, uh, in polka dot. There is Moonbeam, uh, it's an EDM compatible power chain of polka dot. Uh, we're we're looking over those, uh, those changes. Awesome. Awesome. Well, Alex, I mean some great answers there.One of the questions we always like to ask here, you know, we, we try not to, to shell too many projects, but we have to ask people when they come on, what are some of your favorite projects that you own, or that you've kind of followed along the story? Um, in. Uh, it's a, it's a really good question. So I think I cover it.Some of them, uh, my, my, my probably all-time favorite is kid eight, uh, projects with DeVos. Uh, I really liked the aesthetics. It's like a bold and fun, uh, and, and the little, uh, and the little, uh, I don't, I don't have a correct for it. So. Yeah, the cure is I participated in auctions couple of times and never made it, uh, just because there was always a lot of guys who wanted that, uh, and, and were willing to fight better than me.Uh, this, this has been like absolutely amazing. I love this. So, uh, as you can see, there is not many available in the secondary sales. Everybody has got them, put them for sale like 4,000 years. Um, but you might try to get some, to get some, uh, beats. Yeah, there they are on screen. Those those look great. Uh, we've talked about kid eight before we're looking to maybe have him on the show in the future.Love this, uh, artwork and these style projects. So Alex, a great shout out. Uh, well, this was exciting, you know, I can honestly say, you know, I didn't know a ton about rare trouble, but now I think I'm up to speed. Um, I love the Dow component. Uh, I think that could be exciting for the future. So I'll be checking out referable later today.Um, so again, Team joining us on the show. Alex, sail, niqab, the head of product and co-founder of referable. Alex. Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule and joining us on the roadmap today. Thank you, Chris. And that's been exciting to be here. Awesome. We'll see you soon. Thanks Alex. All right guys, another exclusive interview here on the roadmap.I mean, mass that's exciting, right? To hear about referable and NFT platform. One of my favorite things was that he said that the platform was built based on what the creators. All about people who want to mint and create NFT projects, they support the artists, they support the creators. Um, and then also that talk at the end, right.About, you know, when you asked about, you know, Solana and some of these other platforms, I like the dapper labs integration coming soon, the flow blockchain. So some exciting times ahead. What do you think. Yeah. You know, variables interesting because like you said, it's for the creator. And that's actually, how I heard about wearable first was from an artist, you know, a very low key artists, you know, semi has worked through terrible, wanted me to check it out.Uh, so it's interesting now that NFTs have blown up, you know, gone parabolic to see, you know, these competitors and seeing what they do to differentiate, you know, Their market share in that Ft world. So arable is one of those that has been around for a while, and I'm excited to see where they go with all the Dow and the token.Definitely. Well, it looks like the chat loved the interview as well. And again, shout out to the dizzy dragons team for joining us today. Um, I also saw a fun comment from a lion owner saying maybe they should put their lion in their Disney dragon bungalow. Um, so maybe they own both projects out there.Guys it's time. There's that comment there from Michael, uh, guys, it's time to talk about some upcoming items, right? So let's talk about some future. Let's talk about some reveals that we're going to get. So if you have projects out there, you want us to look at, um, you know, again, we're not here to shell, this is not financial advice, but we love looking at projects we know or don't know, and also seeing some of the artwork.So mass I bought into a project yesterday called. Bastard penguins. Right? So bastard penguins. I got some of these and they are going to reveal two night at 8:00 PM Eastern time, I believe. Uh, are you in this project and what do you think about. Yeah, I'm into these as well. Um, you know, it's cute profile picture season, so it looks like, you know, all the cute profile pictures are mooning.So definitely I mentioned a couple of these. I will be keeping up with the reveal. I do like how they look, you know, they're, they're pretty cute. They're pretty, uh, profile pic worthy. So yes, I will be tuning them for these. What are you hoping for any traits? Any specifics there? I like that beanie hat. The Spiderman looking one and a Bart Simpson looking one that I had my eye on, but again, and then also mass.So yeah, go ahead and answer that. And then we gotta talk about their, uh, their giveaway. So what traits are you looking for? Like the power ranger, one man, one shirt. My kids love Powerade, dude. I would love that. Yeah. Speaking to the giveaway. Yeah. Tell us a little bit, a little bit more about that. Yeah. So, I mean, we've talked about projects, right?That do you know giveaways? We had secret society, a whales talk, right where they gave away a board. So bastard penguins will be giving away some, some money, right? Cash, money to a couple of winners. And then also a Tesla. They are giving away a Tesla to one bastard penguin owner. They took their snapshot earlier today.I believe so mass, you have the chance to win a Tesla just for getting one of these cute penguins. So fingers crossed. But if I, if I win that Tesla, I'm going to be pretty good. Exactly. Yeah. That's interesting to see that. Um, so is it, I'm curious to see if it's per wallet or if it's per, uh, ping when that you own it's one per penguin.One entry per penguin is what I read in the discord. So we'll, we'll see if that ends up being true. Cause that gives me a more than one. A exactly. Interesting. And then, so we have, they are unveiling tonight and then we have the bears, right? Bears minted today. What were those called? The bear season bears.Yeah. So we had a bear market bears. That's a fun name, right. And this was kind of cool artwork. And the thing that caught my eye mass, uh, this project didn't have a ton of followers on Twitter or in the discord, but then there were some articles circulated, right? That the artists of this project actually drew a comic for the new Yorker, a well-known magazine.And his story is that he lost his cool cat. He had it stolen. So he modeled this project after the cool cats. Right. And you mentioned that earlier on the show, right? There's a lot of projects out there. A lot of FOMO people looking for the next cool cats. Right? So this project meant to today. And it didn't have a lot of steam at first, but then it blew up in a hurry.Right. We saw gas hit, I think almost 400 as this thing started selling out towards the end. Um, I liked the artwork. I I'm curious to see, it sounds like the reveal is going to be in 24 hours. So I do own some of these, uh, this was 0.03, five to mint, and we're at a floor of 0.06. So a decent return right now.If you got in on this one, Um, what do you think of this one? Mass? Yeah. So again, yeah, there are definitely remind me. I can tell they're inspired by cool cats, but actually, you know, they're inspired by cool cats, but they have their own unique style to them. It's not a complete rip off, which I like. I actually liked these a lot.I like the T the computer one looks pretty cool. The gas masks one looks cool. One that, uh, they compared to a breaking bad. It was a breaking beer. They called it with the mass. So I like that. I mean, I'm a big fan of breaking bad. I watched that whole show. So to get a bear, you know, along that lines would be kind of cool.So I own some of these and I'm excited, uh, another, uh, you know, mint that happened today. That again, started out slow. And then it sold out in a hurry and that's why, you know, sometimes it pays to be early. Uh, you know, if you have the time to be on Twitter, be in these discords, uh, it can pay off, uh, with getting in to some of these projects.So we also have, uh, sub docs, right. Sub docs on September 30th. So that is Thursday. This week, they are dropping king from. So you will be able to claim, um, if you are a duck holder, there's also going to be a public sale. Um, so I, I kinda like this, right? You, you own a sub doc, you're going to get a frog, uh, that picture down below.Um, and your claimed frogs inherit, inherit your duck traits. Mass. That's a question we've asked a lot of these teams, right? When we had on, you know, doge pound when we had on crypto dash. When they normally do these new NFTs, it's a random draw. Right? You don't get any traits from your existing one. Sub ducks is going to do it the other way.You're going to get traits based on your current holding. Uh, I'm a fan of both ways. I don't know which way I prefer you have thoughts on this math. Yeah. Um, it's interesting. I think. Helps, you know, current holders and the other strategy is to bring in new holders, right? So it seems like this strategy is rewarding.Current holders, a little bit more, uh, you know, that bought the rare ones that have been able to, you know, build the community. It's interesting. Cause sub ducks was one of the first projects. When I first got 10 FTEs, it was sub ducks and cool cats. Those were like, you know, below one eighth floor and it's crazy to see them grow so much so quick.So I'm a big fan of them and what they're doing so far. So I will definitely try to snipe a couple of. And then right before the show started, or actually when the show started, we did have a drop mass that I was watt. Didn't get into tropical turtles. Did you hear of that one? Cheers out of this one yet, but they had a pretty big following on social media.So I'm curious to see, um, if this one sold out and what kind of reaction it got. Um, I don't see a tweet from them that it did sell it. Um, 0.03, five per turtle. Um, but this was a project I was watching cause mass, I mean, it's got that cute factor. Right. And we know how well that does. Um, yeah, so it looks like it did not, uh, catch on as quick as people thought.So it looks like a still in progress. So, um, anyone out there in the chat start trapping those projects in mass. Are there any other upcoming mints or events that you're watching that we didn't get to, to. Um, you know what it's interesting now because I've realized a lot of these projects that are successful, they're stealth drops, you know, they're, they're not marketed, they're not promoted anywhere.They just happen at a random time. So no, there's nothing specific, but I feel like the way the most successful projects right now have been stealth drops. So I will keep my eye out for those, because there's just so many projects going around. What about, yeah. Yeah. You know, that's the biggest thing is that either the stealth drops or these ones, like the bears, right.Where maybe it was on a calendar, but it wasn't on a big calendar. It wasn't widely circulated, but then it takes, you know, some different community artwork, seeing the roadmap, seeing the cute factor, right. To really get the momentum going. Um, you know, that's how I found out about. The bears today. Um, the bastard penguins, you know, I didn't see them on a big calendar.It was just a, you know, finding it through the community. Right. Which we're all about, uh, shout out. Ruelle in the chat room L asking about dark horizon. I do not know this one, that artwork though, in that PFS. Looks pretty cool. Uh, so Ruelle saying I love the art I saw from it. Ruelle give us a, some more info maybe while we're looking up.I'm guessing this one has not minted yet. Do we have a date of October? Okay. Mass. What do you think of that artwork? I mean, it looks, you know, similar to some projects, but I think it's a different enough. Yeah, definitely get into Oni, a Omni more five for this one. Um, you know, they're cool. I like them. I would look more into the roadmap and seeing the community.I liked them a lot for sure that the color pops, I think the color with these are pop a little more to me, just looking at them for. Just outside point of view really quick. What do you think of? Yeah, yeah, Andrew, I'll say in, uh, October 10th is the mint date. So we're going to have to add that to the calendar.Um, I'd like that, you know, we've got some time to do the research and look, um, I liked that color. I feel like those colors pop, especially the ones where like the face is purple and the moon behind is purple or green and green. You know what I mean? The color on the color. I kind of like. Yeah, exactly. And I think the question is, you know, what would make a good profile picture.Right. And then if it's, yes, then it's most likely going to do well, you know? Yeah. I mean, that's the big thing, right? Or are we back to Oni and you know, some of the big artwork projects being profile pictures, or are we full in, on the cute factor season math? Another thing we didn't talk about, and I don't know if you saw this, um, I know someone shouted it out.Discord. I wrote an article about it. Discord changed to where, if you are a nitro member. So if you pay the monthly fee of either 4 99 or 9 99, you can now change your discord profile picture in each individual discord, the. I did see that. And I think that's really awesome because we're involved in so many communities.And I wonder if they did that strictly because of that. I think so that was the article I wrote mass was if, if you're big and NFT is right, so discord started, you know, it was heavy in the video game community. Then it was, you know, big for stock trading communities. And now. We know all too well, right?That it is so big for NFTs building communities. So I think this is huge, right? Because you know, if I'm in a bunch of different discords, but I own a bunch of different NFTs. How do I pick which one I display across all the discords I'm in. Also, if you're trying to be a loyal member to a distance. But they see that your profile picture is a different NFT project.I mean, I've had that happen, right? How does that look? But you can't just make it, you know, F you, do you want to be in more than one discord, so you can't just make it one profile. So now if you pay, which, I mean, I think it's worth it, right? Because you also get server boosts, you get unlimited discords. I mean, I know I've hit that right.Where you hit a hundred discords and you can't add anymore, but to be able to change your profile picture, right. Why not show off the NFTs you bought. I mean, isn't that part of, you know, having that, that wallet with all these different MFTs is the value, the rise in growth and also the, the show off factor.Exactly. No, that's awesome. Actually, one other thing I want to talk about, we didn't talk about, did you see Joe Rogan who was talking about apes in his last episode yesterday, he pulled up a picture of an ape and started talking. I didn't which, which eight he was talking about how board apps. Yeah. Yeah.He was just kind of going to over the price and, you know, he was, he, uh, caught, you know, just screenshot at it type of thing. He wasn't really a big believer, which just shows us how early we are. You know, I still think public perception of NFTs are, you can just screenshot this or just, you know, a left click, right.Click save. Uh, so it was interesting to see. Yeah. Uh, I'm seeing a comment here from Omar in the chat thoughts on hall of fame, goats, mass. I remember when these came out. Um, I don't know if you know these, but it is one of the artists behind board apes. Right. And he also recently launched the vampires. So well-known artists in the NFT community.Um, I was surprised that these didn't really take off when they were launched. We have a floor right now. Point. Oh five. What do you, what do you think a goats? I think I also saw recently that they were working on an updated, a roadmap or maybe a fusion or a new something. I'm going to have to look at this, but what do you think of hall of fame?Goats, funny story. Sorry, this was actually one of my first like couple of live, live mints. You know, this is one of my first live mints that I did when they launched back in July. Um, you know, the original roadmap was, I think they were going to do a festival or something like that. And I just think it got, they got lost with all the new hype coming on.They kind of got slept on, but, you know, I liked the art, you know, I, I w I'm curious to see what the roadmap is. And the thing about these NFTs is we go through cycles, right? So these goats may end up pumping a week or a month or a year from now, who knows, considering the fact that board Dave's has become successful and they have ties to the artists.That's. Yeah. I mean, definitely helps to have, you know, the artist of one of the biggest projects out there. Um, you know, the vampire one had a huge discord, a huge demand, right. Based on him being in the project. Uh, yeah, we're going to have to check out the roadmap of hall of fame, goat lodge. Um, cause there could be something there.Um, well that is just going to about do it for our show today. Coming up after the roadmap Benzinga is premiering an education video on short selling. I know that's that evil phrase right in the stock market, short selling, but we're going to give you some education on short selling and why investors should maybe look at that new avenue mass.We do not have a show on Thursday at 2:00 PM Eastern time because Benzinga is hosting a healthcare conference covering health care. But I'm thinking maybe when that health care conference and should we whip up at a live episode of the roadmap at like 5:00 PM Eastern time? What do you think? You think the community out there wants that?Should we ask for some votes? Yeah, I'm curious to hear some votes. We'll ask community. Definitely. You're watching. And you want us to do a show later in the day on Thursday, thumbs up, leave us a comments. Um, you know, there's just so much going on in that empty world, Chris, that when you miss a day, it feels like you're missing so much content to talk about.So yeah, I think the community will be down for it. Yeah. So guys smash the like and press one in the. Uh, see us Thursday at 5:00 PM. Eastern time. When the healthcare conference ends, you heard mass and I talk and headlines and some of these upcoming mints, right? I said Thursday, September 30th, a couple of times.That's Thursday. If we don't do a show Thursday, you won't hear from us again until next week. So we're going to miss out on some stuff while it looks like there's a lion out there that wants to see us Thursday. So let us know, leave comments in the video. Um, after this airs as well and hit mass and I up on Twitter handles are there on the screen.Also want to bring up our roadmap.

NFTs? Metaverse? Minting? Cryptopunks? Bored Apes? Lazy Lions? You might be wondering what is an NFT and why someone would pay thousands or even millions of dollars to purchase one. While some people see them as “just pictures on the internet,” others view them as the future and back up that belief with huge sums of money. Celebrities such as Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Reese Witherspoon are getting in on the action, and Visa even made headlines when they purchased a Crypto Punk NFT for over $150,000. This week's guest goes by the online handle of Keyboard Monkey, and he's one of the most successful NFT traders and a prominent influence in the field. With a decade of experience in trading stocks and cryptocurrencies, he was able to spot the NFT trend early on and take full advantage of the upswing. This week, he joins the show to break down the mindset driving these astronomical values, explain the space in as simple terms as possible, and describe the success principles that allowed him to spot this trend and become an early adopter.
