Podcasts about miami art week

Este podcast también se podría titular “A contracorriente”. ¿Por qué? Porque mientras muchas marcas, especialmente Premium, rectifican sus planes y ralentizan la electrificación de su gama, como Aston Martin, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche o Toyota entre otras… Jaguar se tira a la piscina del eléctrico… sin mirar si hay agua. Este es, probablemente, su último cartucho… Este es un podcast difícil, porque confieso que Jaguar es una marca que me despierta mucho cariño porque lo que ha sido, hasta hace muy poco, pero que no entiendo lo que hace. Como esas parejas de las que sigues enamorado de cómo eran, pero no de cómo son. Os pongo en antecedentes: En enero de este mismo año se ha presentado en la Miami Art Week el Jaguar Type 00, la nueva filosofía de marca con nuevo logo incluido. Un coche que hace días se “dejo ver” por las calles de París… cuando lo recargaban con un generador diésel. Se ha hablado de diseño y sobre todo de “filosofía”, poco de tecnología. Porque la información sobre la tecnología de este modelo y de otros que supone que llegarán a finales de este mismo año es aún escasa y poco creíble: Cerca de 1.000 CV, una autonomía de hasta 816 km según mediciones WLTP y periodos de carga mínimos. En tan corto plazo de tiempo, me parece la carta a los reyes. Jaguar quiere reinventarse debido a su mala por no decir nefasta situación, pero, ¿cómo ha llegado la situación a este punto? “A perro enfermo… todo son pulgas”. Este refrán se podría aplicar a Jaguar para explicar su situación actual. Pero vamos a entrar en detalle sobre los motivos por los que, en mi opinión, ha llegado a esta situación. Los clientes. ¿Cuál es el cliente de Jaguar? Recuerdo cuando hace unos 15 años el recién nombrado director de la marca en España me hizo un comentario en broma, pero que era muy serio: “Uno de los problemas de Jaguar es que sus clientes están entre los 65 y la muerte”. La gama. La oferta de la marca es más bien escasa, 2 berlinas muy parecidas, 3 SUV muy parecidos y un coupé y desde luego ninguno de ellos ha sido renovado recientemente. Esto en el momento de escribir estas líneas, porque Jaguar ya adelantado que estos modelos desaparecerán de su catálogo antes de fin de año. La fiabilidad. O más bien la falta de ella. Sinceramente, no voy a entrar en detalle, porque no me gusta “hacer sangre”, pero la calidad de la marca no está a la altura de su historia, de su fama, de su precio y, lo que es peor… de sus competidores. Las consecuencias. Os doy un dato: Las ventas de Jaguar en el Mundo han caído desde 2019 a 2024 aproximadamente un 66 por ciento. En 2024 se vendieron poco más de 60.000 unidades, frente a casi 200.000 de hace ahora casi 5 años: Un verdadero desastre. Y eso no es lo peor. La bajada de ventas y el aumento de los costes de las garantías, entre otras cosas, han sido la causa de pérdidas de dinero importantes que han tenido como consecuencia que la marca haya evolucionado poco sus “viejos” modelos y no haya lanzado nuevos modelos. Y en una especie de “huida hacia adelante” como consecuencia de ello, la marca quiere reinventarse, ser innovadora, rupturista y reposicionarse. Quiere se la marca de “hiperlujo” he leído por ahí y “mirar por el retrovisor” a Lexus y Mercedes… un poco subiditos de tono para una marca en pérdidas, ¿no os parece? Pero es que además quieren conseguir esto con una gama 100x100 eléctrica. Y eso es ir… a contracorriente. Todos sabemos cómo ha acabado la apuesta de VW por el coche 100x100 eléctrico, cuando decidieron que la marca alemana no pasaría por una tecnología “de transición” como era la híbrida y que su gama de modelos con motores convencionales sería en tiempo récord 100x100 eléctrica… Otras marcas fueron más listas. Toyota nunca se dejó seducir por los “cantos de sirena” y fue muy prudente con este tema… lo que le ha reportado muy buenos resultados, tanto a Toyota como a Lexus, que han dejado, muy inteligentemente, que los experimentos, los hagan otros. Caso aparte es la británica Aston Martin. ¿Cuál ha sido su estrategia? Se trata de una marca a la que le va razonablemente bien, muy parecida a Jaguar por su imagen muy británica y dinámica. Pues, sencillamente, no tiene ni un solo modelo en su gama que sea eléctrico y el que tenía anunciado para este año… lo retrasa a 2027. La pregunta es: ¿No os parece que Jaguar va a contracorriente? La apuesta de la “nueva Jaguar” es arriesgada, pero la marca lo tiene claro y ya lo ha anunciado: Tendrá tres nuevos modelos que serán de “Hiperlujo”, muy modernos y eléctricos 100x100.

Electric surfboards are redefining water sports, merging high-performance engineering with artistry in product design. The industry, once niche, is now accelerating thanks to advancements in e-mobility and battery technology. With increasing consumer interest in high-end, sustainable recreational vehicles, companies like Lind are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. In fact, Lind's electric surfboards boast 27 horsepower and speeds of roughly 35 mph—one of the most power-dense electric vehicles in the world.So, what does it take to create a product that is equal parts cutting-edge technology and beautiful design? And how is the market responding to this level of innovation?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Anders Dellson, the CEO of Lind, to explore the evolving landscape of manufacturing, technology, and design. From the early challenges of building electric surfboards to the role of artistry in product development, this conversation highlights the intersection of form and function in the world of premium water sports.The main topics of conversation…Design Meets Technology: Lind's electric surfboards are designed to look and feel like traditional surfboards while integrating advanced propulsion systems underneath the board for a seamless experience.The Challenge of Power Density: Engineering an electric surfboard requires significant power in a compact form. Lind's boards use 192 battery cells to generate an impressive 27 horsepower.The Artistry of Surfboards: Beyond function, Lind is committed to aesthetics, collaborating with artists and even showcasing their boards at Miami Art Week to emphasize the beauty of their products.Anders Dellson, who serves as the CEO of Lind, specializes in product innovation and high-performance technology. With a background in engineering and an early career at McKinsey & Co., he has spent over 25 years leading companies across tech, software, and mobility industries. His expertise in business strategy and scaling innovation has positioned Lind as a leader in the emerging electric water sports market.

After creating a media storm a few weeks back by announcing a bold newdirection Jaguar this week defined its bold new design language during Miami Artweek.. Understandably, the traditionalists went into overload at the reveal of whatit called its Type 00 design language. The five-metre-long coupe in vivid pink saidto be a pure expression of Jaguar's new creative philosophy, explained in justtwo words: exuberant modernism. According to Jaguars chief creative officerGerry McGovern “ the Type 00 is the result of brave, unconstrained creativethinking and unwavering determination – the foundation stone for a new family ofJaguars that will look unlike anything you've seen before.” It's certainly that, anexceptionally brave move ending 89 years of tradition and one can understandwhy the company expects to only retain around 10-15 percent of its existigncustomer base.

Mazda has made its name creating cars that enthusiast drivers love, and we have two examples of that this week in our road test segment — the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Mazda3. Of course, the Miata needs no introduction. For decades, it has been a go-to renowned for its sharp handling and perky, fun-to-drive demeanor. But is it the right choice for Maine on the edge of winter? Co-host Chris Teague will have his thoughts on that. Across the country in more pleasant climes, Host Jack Nerad got a weeklong stint in the Mazda3 2.5T Premium Plus AWD, the highest-end version of Mazda's highly praised compact sedan. He discovered that the Mazda3 continues to combine performance, luxury, and advanced technology in a surprisingly affordable package. Featuring a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G turbocharged engine, it delivers 250 horsepower and puts that power to good use via its all-wheel drive and G-Vectoring Control Plus. Its sleek exterior boasts 18-inch black alloy wheels and LED lighting, while inside, black leather-trimmed seats, heated front and rear seats, and a dual-zone climate control system provide a premium-brand experience. Then there's the infotainment system. The Mazda3 has a 10.25-inch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system, but does its idiosyncratic control scheme spoil what is otherwise a stellar potential purchase? Jack and Chris will give their thoughts. In the news this week, those seeking a battery-electric pickup will find Tesla's Cybertruck is making waves with its new lease pricing. We'll have details on if the deal is as good as it first seems. Jaguar continues on its controversial way, unveiling the jaw-dropping Type 00 concept. It blends futuristic design with electric luxury to deliver something both new and remarkably retro. Chris and Jack have their reactions to a vehicle that some describe as shocking. Also in the news, Hyundai has just introduced its first three-row electric SUV, the Ioniq 9, showcasing versatility, tech innovation, and sustainability. With Nerad in attendance, Volkswagen pulled the wraps off the newest iteration of its Tiguan compact SUV, Genesis unmasked its 2025 GV70 crossover, and Ford has announced its Ford Mustang GTD supercar will be the subject of a short film available this coming week. Our special guest this week is Steve Center, Kia America chief operating officer. Host Jack Nerad sits down with him for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of EVs in America, the upcoming regulatory climate, and,of course, Kia's newest vehicles, two of which were unveiled at the Los Angeles Autio Show. In this week's Listener Question, Tony from Fresno asks if buying a used hybrid is a smart move amid rising gas prices. Jack and Chris dive into the pros and cons.

Shoot us a Text.Welcome Michael Wood to the show to talk about the Jaguar vision reveal and it seems GM is backing off its battery building game. We are on the ground in St Augustine filming More Than Cars season 2 so follow us along on social media to see what we get into today. Show Notes with links:Jaguar's latest concept car, the Type 00, was unveiled at Miami Art Week, showcasing a radical design departure for the iconic brand. The design cues will inform Jaguar's electric grand tourer slated for 2026.Features sharp, angular styling with a "strikethrough" design motif.The cabin is influenced by architecture, featuring brass bars and a stone seat plinth."Totems" offer personalized experiences with lighting, scents, and soundscapes.Two striking color schemes: Satin Rhodon Rose and Inception Silver Blue.Marks the rebirth of Jaguar with a focus on sustainable luxury and bold aesthetics.GM will sell its stake in the $2.6 billion Ultium Cells battery plant in Lansing, Mich., to LG Energy Solution. The facility, nearly complete, will become wholly owned by LG and supply batteries to another automaker. GM expects to recover its full $1 billion investment in the plant.The site currently has around 100 employees and plans to scale to 1,700 when fully operational.GM CFO Paul Jacobson stated the move aligns with improving EV profitability and efficiency, emphasizing, “We believe we have the right cell and manufacturing capabilities in place to grow with the EV market in a capital efficient manner.”This sale does not affect GM's stakes in other Ultium battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee, or its planned partnership with Samsung SDI in Indiana.GM and LG will continue to co-develop prismatic battery cells to reduce costs and improve energy density, alongside introducing more affordable lithium iron phosphate cells for North American EVs.LG Executive Wonjoon Suh noted the deepening collaboration, saying, “Together with GM, we've already made tremendous progress.”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Épisode 1224 : En novembre 2024, Jaguar a surpris le monde entier avec un changement radical de son image de marque. Exit le célèbre félin bondissant, emblème de la marque depuis des décennies. Place à un logo minimaliste et une campagne publicitaire au ton disruptif. Dès les premiers instants, la communication orchestrée par Jaguar a pris un chemin inattendu. Que s'est-il passé, et pourquoi ce choix ?1. Une communication audacieuse et délibérément provocanteTout commence le 19 novembre 2024, lorsque Jaguar publie une vidéo intrigante sur ses réseaux sociaux. Le clip, d'une trentaine de secondes, met en scène des mannequins vêtus de tenues colorées et futuristes, évoluant dans un décor abstrait. Pas une seule voiture à l'écran, seulement une musique vibrante et, à la fin, l'apparition d'un nouveau logo doré : deux « J » en cercle. Le message d'accompagnement, « Copy Nothing », annonce clairement l'ambition de Jaguar : briser les codes et s'éloigner de l'image classique du constructeur britannique .La stratégie se poursuit sur X (anciennement Twitter), Instagram et LinkedIn, avec des publications minimalistes mettant en avant le slogan et des visuels artistiques. Rapidement, la campagne attire les regards, déclenchant une avalanche de réactions contrastées. Les critiques affluent, mais l'objectif semble atteint : tout le monde parle de Jaguar. Une semaine plus tard, Jaguar tease une deuxième étape de sa communication : la présentation d'un concept-car lors de la Miami Art Week, confirmant que la campagne n'est qu'une pièce d'un puzzle plus large .Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com ! . . .

On Tuesday Jaguar in a major move from tradition announced a new beginningas it moves to release an all-electric range. And its obvious that the new breed ofJaguars will be nothing like we've seen before. A bold new design language andthe creation of a new type face for the Jaguar logo on a new line of models thathave no connection with the past. Their new war cry – Fearless, Exuberant,Compelling – this is Jaguar, reimagined. A bold move 89 years after its founding.All will be revealed during Miami Art Week on December 2 when the first newmodel will be unveiled. The company's re-invention based on selling fewer cars athigher prices and have them deliver healthier profits and an expectation thecompany will only retain 10-15 percent of its existing customer base. It's a boldmove by any measure that will upset Jaguar traditionalists. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, the author of “The Hungry Season.” Finally, artist Raphael Delgado. City of Sacramento's Proposed Budget & Camp Resolution Update Sacramento released its proposed budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year, as the city aims to close a projected $66 million shortfall. That same day, Mayor Darrell Steinberg and District 2 Councilmember Shoun Thao unveiled a new proposal for Camp Resolution - a city sanctioned, self-governing homeless encampment.

CapRadio Sacramento Government Reporter Kristin Lam provides an update on the latest developments from city hall. Book ‘The Hungry Season' Following the end of the Vietnam War, thousands of Hmong refugees resettled in the United States - many making their way to California's Central Valley. Fresno and Sacramento are home to the largest Hmong populations in the United States, only behind Minneapolis. For many refugees, farming provided a bountiful resource of nourishment, community, and reconnecting with family ancestry. A journalist spent seven years in rice fields, intimately learning the story of one radiant Hmong woman - and how growing her ancestor's rice in the San Joaquin Valley led to newfound power. That intimate relationship, along with years of research, transformed into a literary portrait. Lisa M. Hamilton is a journalist and author of The Hungry Season: A Journey of War, Love, and Survival. Artist Raphael Delgado Sacramento's Raphael Delgado has added a new accolade to his bio - “Best New Exhibitor” at Miami Art Week. The artist behind the giant mural of “California Bear” that lords over 21st Street joins Insight to talk about the business of art festivals and what he has planned next.

MadameFraankie's work is centred around recontextualizing the day to day documentation of black life. She is drawn to highlighting the various ways Black people hold space and occupy their time. Within her work she attempts to capture micro-communal moments, gestures of love, and curiosity. MadameFraankie's work draws comparison of these documented themes against the social and ethical norms within American Culture as a means to reshape black narration and photographic storytelling.She attributes the  reshaping of her understanding of community and artistry to the arts and music scene in Memphis, specifically working with Tone Memphis . Having recently exhibited with the space during Miami Art Week 2023,  MadameFraankie is excited for her work to take on a larger scale in both size and subject matter during her residency with Crosstown Arts. She explains how aspects of her identity like being both Black and Southern impacts how she thinks about and creates art. We learn about her upbringing in the military and how moving around the world produced a longing for aspects of identity and a sense of home that she now conjures in her photographs. Living in Memphis, MadameFraankie turns her camera towards the mundane aspects of Black life, championing the joy and tenderness in her community.  Connect with us:Madison Beale, HostCroocial, ProductionBe a guest on The Artalogue Podcast

"Art and music are the same, they're just different dialects." The Chicago house music legend talks about co-curating the photo exhibit Walk The Night and nightlife's '90s heyday. Ron Trent grew up in Chicago, where he dreamed of being a musician from a young age. He would end up becoming one of the architects of the Chicago house sound and working alongside contemporaries like Chez Damier, and across the pond, Basic Channel. His label, Prescription Records, became a renowned purveyor of the deep house sound. He spread his vision from the American Midwest to New York, Europe and beyond. In this talk recorded live at Miami Art Week, Trent talks to Resident Advisor music critic Kiana Mickles about the songs and dance floors that shaped him in this early part of his musical trajectory. In addition to playing some of his favourite jazz, funk and disco songs, he reflects on clubs like Studio 54, Paradise Garage and The Warehouse, which he claims matured him as an artist and irrevocably shaped the trajectory of club culture. Trent was instrumental in co-curating an exhibit called Walk The Night (which premiered at this multidisciplinary event), a photographic homage to these spaces and other historic clubs around the world. To hear more about the legacy of Trent's favourite clubs and the music that shaped him, listen to the episode in full.

What is the future of digital art? Josh Baer sat down with Beeple for the first episode of The Baer Faxt Podcast during the opening of his immersive new B.20 museum in Charleston, South Carolina earlier this month to ask him how his vision for the future of digital art and NFTs has changed since we first spoke in November 2021.   Before catching up with Beeple at his B.20 opening, we revisit our prior conversation, when we sat down at The Bass museum during Miami Art Week to talk about his rise to prominence in the art world and the beginnings of the NFT community.   At that time, he had just sold the hybrid digital sculpture Human One (2021) at Christie's for nearly $30 million. This week, the dynamic, first-of-its-kind artwork is on view in Hong Kong at the M+ museum, while its sister work S.2122 (2023) is making its debut at Art Basel Hong Kong.   Subscribe to The Baer Faxt Podcast for much more to come on our first season as we unpack the inner workings of the global art industry through candid interviews with key players in the business as they offer their perspectives on art and the market in the U.S., Asia, Europe, and beyond.

Block199.io Interview For our very first guest podcast, Rantum spoke with ElBarto_crypto  a Dune wizard and crypto data scientist, working on research at Block119.io. Recently, he's researched and published on topics like NFT Hodler segmentation, airdrops, and NFT wash trading.  How to check if a collection is made of hodlers or flippers Check wash trading volume for collections & platforms What tools el_barto uses to use to analyze collections What topics he plans to research next   Rough Transcript   [00:00:00] Rantum: All right. Uh, here we are. I, this is ran. Andrew, here I am with our very first guest. We've talked about this on the, if you've listened for a little while, we've talked about this on the intro for a long time, that we would have guests, we've, uh, yet to actually do that and. Well, that's up until today. Uh, we've had, uh, we have a data sign, another data scientist joining us today. [00:01:06] He actually reached out his Alberto Crypto as he goes by on Twitter. On Twitter. He reached out, uh, and asked to, to be a guest on the podcast. And, you know, I, I felt like we really needed to, to actually do it. So here we are. Welcome to the show, El Baro Crypto . [00:01:24] Elbarto Crypto: Gne. Well, thanks for having me. I've realized in life if you just asked people enough, they either get sick of you or they let you do something. [00:01:30] So in this case, I'm glad to be the latter. [00:01:33] Rantum: Yeah, yeah. Really excited to actually do this. You know, it's a good needy, you know, little instigator to, to make it happen. . Perfect. I love it. So tell me a little bit about yourself. How'd you get where you are? How'd you get into crypto? [00:01:48] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah, so I am actually a data scientist by trade. [00:01:51] I worked in marketing analytics for probably a little longer than a decade, doing everything from segmentation, machine learning just writing basic SQL queries. Got to spend a lot of time doing customer analytics for very large brands, uh, in the marketing space and. Sort of caught the Bitcoin bug in like end of 2014 ish and you couldn't do really anything at that point. [00:02:17] You could just send Bitcoin to each other and that was, that was fun. . And then yeah, Ethereum ICO came. Um, once again, people still just, you know, sending Ether around, maybe trading on XX Ether Delta, these crazy, um, underground exchanges. Uh, but once for, for a while, you know, really the only thing you could do is, is not get caught up in a scam or an ICO scam. [00:02:39] And then, uh, right around 2019, I believe it was, um, dune Analytics launched and that was like sort of. . That was sort of like the great equalizer for data scientists because now all of a sudden you have this platform that you could tap into to query the blockchain, you know, for free, honestly. And that was like the, the most beautiful thing. [00:02:58] You could just easily share careers with people, share dashboards with people. Then this Analytics community, sort of, joined around that. And then other products like SEN launched, um, flip side crypto, a lot of these, you know, data open blockchain on, on BigQuery. And so now all of a sudden you, you know, you didn't have to worry about data engineering running your own validator, running your own node. [00:03:18] You could just. Query data and you build, you know, beautiful data sets. And, uh, I think a lot of things like in the marketing analytics background, definitely applied to crypto just in terms of, you know, user retention who's actually using products, machine learning, things like that. So yeah, absolutely. [00:03:34] It's been a very natural transition to, uh, to analyzing data. And now, uh, now. It's gotten crazy. analyze a lot of data on Yeah. Yeah. , it's, it's a lot of fun though. Meet a lot of the people like yourself. So, yeah, [00:03:46] Rantum: similar background. I was, I did a lot in, in e-commerce, analytics, marketing, uh, for this and, you know, fem way into crypto. [00:03:53] And, and it's, it's, it's really exciting having access to all of the, the data as opposed to, you know, just what the, uh, the one company that you're working with, uh, provides. Right. [00:04:03] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah. I mean, that's such a good. Like I, I think people don't realize like how special this data set is if you go work for you know, like a big enterprise company, even as a data scientist, like, well one, like you probably don't get access to data right away. [00:04:17] You probably have to get approved. You have to, you know, build the trust of people to start analyzing data. Um, here from day one, you know, it's, it's open right here. You can even, I think Google BigQuery even gives you $300 free. Uh, so you can just tap in immediately and. Securing data. It's really, uh, it's really amazing. [00:04:35] Rantum: Yeah. Yeah. How did you. , what was, what did you get started with when you started on Dune? I mean, you saw that it was available, there's free data. What, what were the first projects that you got interested [00:04:46] Elbarto Crypto: in? Yeah, so the first thing was just really looking at like what, who's using, uh, who's using the platform? [00:04:52] And as many, many people know, my dog who's in the background, he's, uh, he's, he's running from farm to farm is what he's doing. Uh, many people, uh, I think at first it was just creating, you know, The raw blockchain data itself to really like, understand what's going on. I think, I think one of the biggest problems people face is there is this open data set, but immediately they, um, get inundated with these, uh, very specific contract calls and they have to, um, decode data and all of a sudden you're dealing with OS and hashes. [00:05:25] And I think at first people get really like overwhelmed. And I remember looking. , um, dune for the first time and just seeing all these contract abstractions, like, I think it, it must have started with Ave back then, but just thinking like, what is going on here? Like how this is, this seems impossible. So I think it definitely takes a lot of patience, but at first it was just, you know, how many people are using the Ethereum blockchain? [00:05:47] You know how many people a day are using it? How many people used it last month and now are using it this month again? So it was really, for me, it was really just basic before, um, really diving into like more more of the abstractions around like ave and then compound and really seeing that lending side and then really just trying to visualize like who's making big D trades, you know, just very basic, like, hey, just let's just sort dex trades by u SD volume and like, let's just see who's buying things. [00:06:14] So I think like, yeah, at first it was like super basic because honestly it, it's very overwhelming when you first look at it. Yeah, absolutely. [00:06:20] Rantum: I mean, having all of the data available is, is great. And it's also overwhelming, right? Having all the choices. Exactly. [00:06:29] Elbarto Crypto: Everything's thrown at you at once. It's uh, yeah, it's a lot of our. [00:06:34] Rantum: How did you, you know, or 2019 it was, you know, a lot of D trades, you know, then we got into, you know, the kind of defi after that and then, you know, saw, you know, NFTs come, you know, big in, you know, in 2021. I, you know, it's is when it was, you know, really took off. How did you, uh, What, what did, how did you start working with the N F T data? [00:06:56] Um, and how'd you find that different than working with some of the, uh, the early token data? Yeah, [00:07:01] Elbarto Crypto: I like, the reason I like N F T data a lot is because, um, the same token, i e d and the same, um, the transfers across trade. So I think one of the biggest problems you have with Dex trades and analyzing like defi data, , um, people can immediately go anonymous. [00:07:19] Like, if I make huge Dex trade I can then just go back into Binance or just send my phones back on a Coinbase or and then it just becomes like an, an empty hole. Like, well, what happens with that person? What happens with that token? But for n n T data, since it's all on chain and you can't really, and each token is, is essentially a, a unique token, it really lends to some interesting analytics around. [00:07:42] how long people hold NFTs. So I think that's what one of the things that drew me to it was, it's understanding the nuances are obviously like very complicated, like with lost shells, which we'll probably talk about later. But from the very beginning, it made sense to me that like ID one is always ID one and it always corresponds to the ID one. [00:08:03] So it, it really lends to some beautiful, like long-term a. , um, with NFT [00:08:08] Rantum: drill. Yeah. That, that non, that non fungible aspect really takes exactly [00:08:12] Elbarto Crypto: way, right, . Yeah, exactly. I think people take, I, I think, I think people don't realize like how unique that is. Uh, and definitely allows for, for interesting transac for interesting analysis. [00:08:22] Rantum: Yeah. I mean, I, I've definitely found that interesting. When you look at NFT collections, I mean, you can't look at trades as, you can't look at every trade as the same. I mean, there are. oftentimes reasons that things are trading at, at much, maybe something significantly higher than the floor. You know, sometimes there aren't, and you know, we know there's a lot of wash trading out there. [00:08:42] Um, have you found that, have you found that aspect difficult to decipher, you know, what is real versus, uh, sort of the wash trade or how much do you [00:08:52] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah. Uh, shout out to Hilda today for, for introducing a new, uh, uh, wash trading flag. So at first, like I remember this is like really dating myself. So like, well let's, you know, starting with like the looks rare, um, that was like when, when people first like, oh man, yeah, that, um, wash trade concept of like, hey, volume is exploding, but in reality like people are just nibis and terraforms. [00:09:19] Yeah, exactly. So I think it's like, yeah, I think it. It's so interesting because you, you, you can do very basic, you can do very good analytics, just the basic, you know, SQL group buy statements, and this is, this is Data Pod Science podcast. We'll just go right into and nerding it out. But you can do very like, easy analytics with, you know, group buy day, you know, what's the volume of n ft sales? [00:09:41] And I think a lot of a lot of mainstream publications like to just look at like, okay, um, volume is down 80. . But in reality, like it's obviously much more different than that. So, we now know that, uh, a lot of volume all looks rare was really just people farming will look for a token just mindlessly trading tokens. [00:09:57] And so from there it, you know, it'll, it, it forced people to sort of think a little deeper in terms of, you know, a trade is not just a trade and you know, what is an actual wash sale trade or and now I think. . It's interesting because blur almost, it, it forces you to rethink about analytics once again, because we know like what a, a wash trade is now. [00:10:18] But now there's like these very interesting, um, analytics going on about people, you know. Taking this one step further and doing all sorts of crazy placing orders like slightly above the floor price when they not be a wash sale or maybe swapping out NFTs. So like let's say if you own a board ape and you just want to farm, you don't really care what ape you own and you just kind of wanna farm the the blur sale, you can sort of just. [00:10:42] Sell eight, buy another one, sell that one, buy another one. You're not really changing anything. Even taking slate laws [00:10:48] Rantum: to Exactly, yeah. Of the blurred to eventual, blurred [00:10:51] Elbarto Crypto: token . Exactly. In the hopes of getting a $50,000 airdrop. Uh, so it's interesting now, like, as these N F T models evolve for, for revenue for these exchanges, like then doing the due diligence of analytics to, to figuring out, you know, what's. [00:11:09] Rantum: Yeah, it, it's, you know, we see these incentives and, I mean, we've seen all these, uh, sort of vampire attacks on open sea and different ways to try to maybe disincentivize people from gaming, the systems, and it seems like. Collectors or, you know, maybe not, and maybe those, I shouldn't really call those people the collectors. [00:11:28] These are the, the people out there. There's somebody that's going to figure out how to, to make the most of the system. And, you know, it's, it's a tough one when you to, to, to look ahead and realize what people are going to [00:11:38] Elbarto Crypto: do, . Oh, absolutely. Yeah. And I think it's, it, it's, I don't wanna say it's fa as an analytics person, but like it definitely makes you think, and it definitely challenges you to say, , how can I use data to, to understand what, what's really going [00:11:53] Rantum: on? [00:11:55] Yeah. I mean, it, it is, I mean, all of these different crypto charts, there's always, you know, looks all steady until there's a serious inflection point and something drastic changes. And, and you see this all the time. I mean, you know, and in just the volume that you see among opens sea and blur and, and looks rare and, you know, you, you sort of need to know the story behind why these, these things are changing so drastically. [00:12:17] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah, exactly. And I think that makes you a better analytics person too. Like I, you know, if, if you're looking at break into this sector, and you know, like on job interviews and things like that. Like definitely bringing up points of like, well, why do you think um, hey, this data looks like the way it is. Is it sustainable? [00:12:33] Exactly to your point. Like, is it sustainable? Like, what's really going on here? I think, do you really have a ability to differentiate, like in this space, if you can bring these, you know, differentiated analytics. So can you tell me [00:12:46] Rantum: a little bit about block 1 99 and then the N F T Hudler segmentation that you've been working? [00:12:53] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah. So, um, we are essentially just a research firm. Uh, we do research for, you know, individuals for protocols, uh, all across the stack. And so a while back someone was essentially wanted to understand, you know, what, you know, how people, how different N F T projects are and what their users look like. [00:13:15] So for example, like if you have an N F T project where. , most of the holders are people that you know, are these larger whales? Maybe just like trading in and out of things, you know, what does the long-term engagement really look like versus an N F T project where a lot of people. we're in it from the beginning. [00:13:37] And, um, they're true loyalists like of a project. And so what they were trying to understand was, you know, should I, you know, invest in this N F T project because are are the people that are really long term holders. So the way to do that, and, and it's really a, a beauty of the blockchain is you, you can, uh, you can essentially just take all the holders of a certain n ft collection and then you. [00:14:02] uh, count how many NFTs they own. Some the amount of volume that's been spent look at, you know, are they how much wash sales have they done? How many floor sweeps have they done? So you essentially have this data frame of, you know, the 10, you know, the 5,000 holders and, you know, what's all their N F T activity. [00:14:19] From there, you can just like run a kme segmentation to find these different, um, groups of, of people and then figure out like, okay, well what is their activity in the entire N F T space? So if you see that, you know, 90% of the holders, you know, on average holding N F T collection for 20 days, or are the, you know, top 10% of traders on X two, Y two, you may think twice about buying that FT collection because, you know, people are just flipping it for the sake [00:14:47] Rantum: of Flipp. [00:14:48] Right. Right. And so when you're looking at these, the activity, you're looking at activity from all [00:14:55] Elbarto Crypto: NFTs, [00:14:56] Rantum: that, that may have ha uh, been passed through this wallet. You're not looking at necessarily that specific collection. Right, [00:15:01] Elbarto Crypto: exactly. Yeah. And I think like, you, you know, you can, you can almost sort of like then do this matrix if you will. [00:15:08] Like, you could segment, um, just like current activity and then sort of like create this matrix of like Yeah. All other n ft activity to get really, like, dive into. How the users play out. But ideally, like what you're looking for and in the case of this person that they were looking for was, they wanted to see that people who are like true contributors to the N F T community or they had like strong holdings and like what would held on, would hold on a lot. [00:15:32] think like some good examples of that are like, if you look at pudgy penguins, um, shout out to the, to the poo group. Um, a lot of them have, if you, you just look at simple like distributions of how long they've been the project for. Like a lot of them, um, have held since the beginning almost. And so you kind of look at that community and say like, okay, is that's something that I wanna do for the long term. [00:15:54] and the price. And, you know, the price has done pretty well. They had on a recent mini surge this, um, past couple of weeks. But it makes sense because, you know, just the supply of, of poos to hit the market is if no one's selling, it's always going down the, the number, the amount of supply that's hitting the market. [00:16:11] So, um, it makes sense that, you know, eventually, uh, Prices price go up. So Right. Versus, uh, versus like, you see [00:16:20] Rantum: the sustained interest, I guess is, is something that it's a little hard to measure from inactivity, but if they're not, if they're not dumping, there is something there. Right. . Yeah, exactly. [00:16:30] Elbarto Crypto: And I think that's the, that's like the holy grail of NFT engagement is how do you measure engagement of, of the nons sellers. [00:16:37] Because right now I, you know, Like volume does not equal engagement. If someone is selling their N F T, they're the least engaged with the brand. [00:16:45] Rantum: Right, right. Volume is is a very poor measure of, of the quality of a [00:16:50] Elbarto Crypto: project. Exactly. I, the problem is like unfortunately, like we don't have another way to, to do this. [00:16:55] And I think like the ways so far, it's interesting looking at the, the board ape ecosystem and, and, and maybe you can see. , you know, how many people are participating in governance or how many, you know, a polls also hold ape coin. But, you know, getting outside of the blockchain, you know, engagement becomes a much more interesting thing. [00:17:18] I think the evolution of NFTs should be some sort of like, loyalty, you know, coming back to the marketing world, you know, some sort of like marketing, uh, you know, CRM engagement platform where you can engage like outside of the blockchain. . Uh, so it's, it's, it's definitely in its ancy. And I think I'll, I think, I think NFT brands that are, are data first and are looking to expand their analytics capability are definitely gonna do better. [00:17:43] Rantum: Yeah. It feels like there's just a lot not being used. I mean, you can obviously find out so much about your, your holders and what their interests are just by looking at the wallet, and I don't think that's being, being used by many, uh, project creators or uh, leaders at this point. [00:17:59] Elbarto Crypto: Oh yeah, absolutely agree. [00:18:01] Rantum: Um, so you've developed something called an nf or you're working on something called an N F D D Gen Score. Can you just tell me a little bit about that? [00:18:08] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah, so I'm looking for someone to take this over actually. So DM me because I'm going out on crypto paternity leave soon. But essentially, uh, there's something called the defi, um, D Degen score, or it's just, I think it's just called DEGEN score. [00:18:23] um, your defi activity, right? And I, I want to build, I'm in the process of building, haven't built yet. Sort of like this N F T engagement or D gen score of, okay, how many you know, how many projects do you hold? How many mints have you done? How many, how many trades have you placed? Um, the idea here is more along the lines of it's almost like a segmentation, but. [00:18:46] if you're an N F T project, that's going to whitelist some you know, whitelist or project for certain holders or addresses. It would be nice if you had an idea of, of, you know, who would you want to whitelist this for? And like, do you wanna exclude certain groups? Do you wanna include only people with above a certain score or, you know, have had certain engagement? [00:19:06] So I think it's like really meant for, you know, hopefully for projects to better understand. , Hey, let's, you know, make this let's make this white list. Like for people that really care about NFTs or like people that aren't just gonna like immediately dump, um, these NFTs. So there's a lot of ways you can do this. [00:19:24] I, I would want to almost optimize this for like, engagement with NFTs instead of just like farming to dump. But I think that's where the hard part comes in. [00:19:36] Rantum: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think we're seeing, I mean, we're so sort of a misalignment, so many places of, you know, where are the, you know, what is activity and, you know, what, where is the, you know, where are the royalties coming from? [00:19:46] When you're thinking about all these, uh, these different issues, it seems like we come back to the same thing. The people that are are selling are the ones that are co, I mean, you know, obviously a, a cell requires a buy, but that's when the, the income comes into a project. When. Ideally you just want nobody to, to really wanna sell. [00:20:05] Right? And [00:20:05] Elbarto Crypto: yes. Yes, [00:20:07] Rantum: exactly. How do you, I don't know. I'm not, you know, I see that one, I know that one of the projects that you wanna work on is, uh, trying to calculate the royalty income and, you know, do you see that as being a sustainable model going forward? [00:20:21] Elbarto Crypto: I, you know, I'm very mixed on this because I used to think, like, I used to want projects. [00:20:26] I used to really like the royalty initiative because I think it is fair in some sense. . I think if we were to eliminate royalties like tomorrow, I think they would force N F T brands to start thinking of like alternative business models because yeah, like as we said over and over again, like the royalty optimizes towards people selling. [00:20:47] In reality, it should be the complete flip of that. Like the most engaged people, like across every brand, the most engaged people with the brand are the ones like creating the revenue for you. I, while I, I don't know exactly where I fall in the royalty space right now. I, I, you know, it's not, luckily it's not my job to do that. [00:21:07] Yeah, right. . But I think that like, it would force n f T brands to think of new revenue streams that I only think will help them. Because right now royalties are obviously limited to people that are buying and selling NFTs. And the goal is to. a brand. Just a brand in general, right? Like when you think about Ferrari, like everyone knows Ferrari. [00:21:30] Their, their brand recognition is beyond anything. They, I, I was surprised though. I was looking at their, their income statement and they, the majority of their money, they still make off of selling cars, selling parts, et cetera. I think only like 15% of their revenue comes from like merchandising and things like that. [00:21:46] For an N F T brand, that should be the opposite. It, in my opinion, like 15% should come from royalties and then 85% should come from some other I don't know what that is. Hopefully someone smarter than they can figure that out, but yeah. Yeah, it's [00:21:58] Rantum: tough to say what that is because they're, you know, as collectors. [00:22:02] I, I think people expect to get something from that. Mm-hmm. . And as we've seen recently with the, uh, artifact uh, Nike, uh, project, you know, people are not terribly happy when the, the, the next part was the ability to buy something and, you know, maybe a discount. So, you know, I think that still has to be worked out and I'm, I'm curious where that does go. [00:22:23] Yeah, I'm not , I'm not exactly sure where I fall overall, you know, I'm very pro royalty. Artist, but I think that's a very different thing than, than these 10,000 piece collections. You know, when I think of art, you know, I'm thinking of small collections or, or even one of one. I see that as being a sustainable model going forward. [00:22:41] Very different than, you know, 5,000 or 10,000 because you've always got other people that are, I mean, it becomes a bigger issue for the liquidity of a project when you've got a five or 10%, um, royalty, uh, fee built in. [00:22:54] Elbarto Crypto: Oh yeah, absolutely. Like the art box, when you have only have 200 of them, you would hope, yeah, you would hope that some sort of wallet royalty, right? [00:23:01] Yeah. But um, it's also, yeah, like when people expect something, it's like they, they don't understand like the, the basic like lifetime value, the customer acquisition cost ratio, which is, which is completely flipped now because if I buy a doodle right now, uh, doodle will get, you know, whatever the 3% of. [00:23:24] $6,000 sale. So let's call it $180. Like great. Uh, yeah. That, that's tough for them. . Yeah. Yeah. To give me more, uh, to give me, I, yeah. I think people definitely expect $180 more of stuff. And I know, I hear, I hear doodle putt was really fun, but. . [00:23:44] Rantum: Yeah. I didn't make it over there. I was, I was down in Miami and I did not get to go to that. [00:23:48] Elbarto Crypto: Unfortunately. , I'm sure, uh, I'm sure many of the doodle holders though are, are, uh, negative. Uh, yeah. So that's like one of the issues, right? Like if you become a doodle holder, you expect the world, but like the, the economics just don't work yet. Hopefully they do in the future, but Yeah. Or like, I mean, I think this, like, I think this introduces like new. [00:24:10] New forms of business. Like if, if doodles were to, you know, create these events, but like you could lend your N F t to somebody to go, or you know, that they would pay a fee and like lend a doodle or something like that. I think like there could be interesting innovation there. It's just. [00:24:28] Rantum: Yeah, it is, it does feel like it's still to be determined how, how to really structure these for, for a longer term. [00:24:35] You know, it, it reminds me a bit of. Just as you saw advertising in, you know, online advertising, it got more and more expensive and, you know, there's more promotions and, and things to get people to come and, and click. And, you know, you're talking about the, the lifetime acquisition. You know, it went from early on when you were advertising on, on Google, you know, you could make. [00:24:54] You know, you could even maybe make a profit on, on a sale or something. And then it turned into a longer and longer lifetime and you just saw that the cost go up as it sort of got inflated. And, you know, I think Barta that was maybe, you know, there was obviously more money being spent and you saw that there was a lot of, a lot of venture capital coming in. [00:25:12] Um, I'm wondering like how that's going to start affecting. , you know, these rewards and everything. You know, if it's going to be, you know, in, I mean, I assume that it's going to get redistributed, they're like less middle men. You know, you can, it's being given directly and, you know, it's hard to recognize what is, what's, what's real versus, you know, what's sort of artificially pumped in [00:25:32] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah, absolutely. I, yeah, and it'll probably take another year to play out to see what these, yeah. What this looks like. But, [00:25:38] Rantum: um, what else are you, uh, excited about? Right. . [00:25:40] Elbarto Crypto: I think definitely like the more of the in-person experiences, um, within the NFT space. I think like I, I, I am glad everyone is mad at like Live Nation and Ticketmaster right now because I, I hope that, uh, I hope that somehow the N F T space, uh, can solve for that somehow. [00:25:59] Uh, like I'm a big fan of India Top Shot. I, the product is beautiful. It's just a, it's a great experience, but you know, like as a, as a, as a top shot, like minnow, not quite a plankton, I'll, I'll call myself a minnow. Uh, you know, I'm definitely looking for that, like further engagement of like, with, you know, with the team that I like or with the player that I like. [00:26:22] Like how, how does that like work and, and, and sort of like what's the next step for them. Certainly looking for, you know, forward to that. And then I think like on like the zuki uh, collection, you know, I. , I kind of wanna see. They have great, like website. They have a great website right now. I think they're, you know, they're branding. [00:26:40] It's really on spot. I'm, I'm really a [00:26:42] Rantum: lot with, uh, with, with wearables as well, right? Yeah, [00:26:45] Elbarto Crypto: exactly. Like I saw, I, I, I was just like walking around, uh, where I lived the other day and someone was wearing, wearing a, um, a Bathing Ape shirt and I'm like, I'm like, oh man, I, I'm kind of like, I'm hoping like bored ape supplements that, or something like that. [00:26:58] So I'm definitely looking for these like real world experiences, like the bridge between the two and then, yeah, like in like the new innovations of, of business models for these, uh, and like when, you know, when everything will just airdrop, you know, that's what I'm looking for. . [00:27:13] Rantum: Yeah. Right. Air when Airdrop [00:27:14] Yeah. When [00:27:15] Elbarto Crypto: airdrop, I'm just gonna mask token. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Just one day, just give it all to me, you know? Right. Yeah. [00:27:21] Rantum: That would be, those were nice back, back when those were just coming out every couple weeks. Right. it, it was nice. Yeah, it was [00:27:28] Elbarto Crypto: nice. Uh, have [00:27:30] Rantum: you been to, uh, many in-person events or have you gotten to get to. [00:27:33] Elbarto Crypto: I, you know, it's funny, before the pandemic I used to go to a lot and I tell this funny story of, um, I went to a, this is like really gonna show my age. I went to a Dere meetup which is, for those who don't know, is, uh, is a, a Bitcoin esque product. And, um, , they, the where I went, they ordered, um, they ordered 10 pizzas, but only eight people went to the event. [00:27:57] So, uh, that just kind of shows you like how, uh, popular crypto was in [00:28:03] Rantum: 2018. [00:28:05] Elbarto Crypto: I wanna say. This was, um, I bet they didn't pay for the pizza with Bitcoin anyway. No, they, no, they did not. Uh, they used good old Uncle Sam dollars. So it's. It's really interesting to see like how how far things have come. And, and I was, uh, I went to an event, like a coup, a pretty small event, um, about a couple months ago. [00:28:25] And, um, it's good to see the energy back with people. Um, I like to see that. I, I, uh, I think I'm gonna make a huge, you know, I'm, I think I'm gonna make a splash next year by trying to go to some of these places, but, um, it seems like, uh, it seems like, yeah, there's good energy there. . Uh, yeah, [00:28:42] Rantum: I've enjoyed getting out to some events. [00:28:44] Just was at Basl as I, as I mentioned, and, uh, hoping to get to N ft N YC again, uh, this coming year. They seem to just, uh, make, make it difficult and move the month every , every event, . Um, lovely. So you can't really, you can never predict it, but , did you say anything? [00:29:01] Elbarto Crypto: Was there any interesting activations at, at Basil? [00:29:05] Uh, [00:29:06] Rantum: so NFT now had a big. Two blocks are so. Just for their own event. But then they had different booths within there where art blocks was there and Meta mask was there. And, uh, nine dcc, uh, which I talked about, um, recently, they had a min a shirt there, a one of 1200 was a snow fro. Oh. Uh, inspired art on this shirt. [00:29:32] So they worked with him on that. So there were some, there were some definitely cool, uh, N F T events. Um, you know, it was a little quieter in the N F T areas than, than maybe I I expected, uh, compared to, compared to something like, I mean, N F T NYC is just, it's, it's pretty big, you know? I know there's. [00:29:49] There's some complaints about, uh, the event. And, and I would also say that you don't necessarily have to go to, to the official event to, uh, to find many things to do. I mean, that's, that's, that's definitely the case at Basel, you know, where it's very unofficial. It's part of ma maybe it's part of Miami Art Week. [00:30:05] I'm not sure if it's technically even, even that. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right, right. But yeah, the in-person events I think are great. You know, I think people are still kind of getting out and I think part of, you know, even the, the fashion things, it's part of kind of bringing. Off the screen, off the, you know, off the computer and making it a little bit more real [00:30:23] Right. Exactly. [00:30:25] Elbarto Crypto: Step away from farming. It'll be, you'll be okay. You don't have to get all of them. [00:30:29] Rantum: Yeah. Right. , So you have, you have some new dashboards coming soon, but you are, you're well right now. It sounds like you are, uh, paternity leave. Huh? [00:30:38] Elbarto Crypto: trying to figure out how to make, how to do a swaddle. Yeah. So, oh man. Yeah, [00:30:42] Rantum: I remember that one. . [00:30:44] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah. Any need tips? Let me know. Yeah, I mean, I'm always looking on, you know, always looking for new data. [00:30:48] Um, always trying to build, you know, Data dashboards really to help people understand, you know, how data's being surfaced. You know, I've got a lot of like, you know, research projects on the back burner. Really trying, really, like trying to go after this question of like N F T engagement and you know, what kind of, who will be around for the long haul. [00:31:07] And then really, I am very curious about this defi N F T overlap. I, I think there's very, you know, I think the two are very separate right now, and I think people just assume by building a, a lending NFT platform that everyone will just come, you know, no questions asked. But in reality, the reason people got into NFTs is not because. [00:31:33] they're also excited about uncollateralized lending. Like they don't know what any of those words mean. And frankly, I don't think , I [00:31:40] Rantum: don't think anyone. Right. Yeah, that's good. Good [00:31:42] Elbarto Crypto: point. Yeah. So I, I, but then at the other hand, like on the other hand, I, I think, you know, if you have a board ape, you know, if you did get lucky and held on for all this time and you're sitting on, you know, $70,000, , it would be nice, you know, to realize some of these profits or, you know, maybe you have a dog who's going off to college and, and you need to pay tuition. [00:32:07] Uh, you know, it would be nice to realize maybe the little, these profits, um, yeah, [00:32:11] Rantum: right. For fractional [00:32:12] Elbarto Crypto: ownership. So I think it's definitely an un, an untapped area. I, I don't know how it'll work though in terms of UI and, and execut. [00:32:21] Rantum: what, uh, what, what, what have you been active with in what, in your wallet Recently? [00:32:27] Elbarto Crypto: What has been my wallet? I, you know, I'm like a, a real, a real defi, uh, degen. Uh, recently I've been, uh, I've been, I was like really bad farms that I've been going into. It's, uh, it's pretty sad. I, I've been trying to figure out recently, you know, some of these like NFT projects that have really gotten sold off. [00:32:47] there's a lot of work going behind the scenes. So like Rumble Kongs, for example. Um, this was like a project that really, you know, had a lot of hype. Um, so I own a couple Rumble Kongs in, in full transparency. This is a project that got a lot of hype. I think Steph Curry was wearing a Rumble Kong hat at some point. [00:33:04] Okay. ? Yeah. And like they have people working on it behind the scenes. You know, there are, there are truly people working. They are alive. Um, they are, you know, programming. I'm, I'm gonna check, I'm gonna check the floor [00:33:15] Rantum: price right now. Here's mine. And the ones that are, they're still busy and haven't left. [00:33:20] I mean, we know that a lot of these are going, they're going to zero. And, um, it is. You know, finding the ones that are still busy and gonna keep building through, you know, through the bear. That's, that's, uh, it's key if you can find them . [00:33:34] Elbarto Crypto: Right, exactly. So, yeah, you know, I'm kind of looking at that area a little bit. [00:33:38] I've been trying to like, you know, look at more like these illiquid art blocks, collections. Yeah, . I just don't know right now like what the best way. I don't know what the best way to display them or engage with like other people or like really engage with the artists is yet. So I'm still trying to like, I also just don't want to get ripped off by like buying, you know, something for like four E and then being like, what have I done, like [00:34:02] Rantum: immediately? [00:34:02] Right. But I mean, there's some, there are some very pricey, very illiquid pieces in, uh, in our blocks. You know, there's definitely some, some grape buys. Uh, can be difficult to tell the difference. And, you know, that that's the beauty of NFTs, right? , yeah, exactly. [00:34:18] Elbarto Crypto: Um, you know, I, I respect what the pudgy team is doing. [00:34:20] Uh, I don't own any poos maybe, you know? Yeah. [00:34:24] Rantum: That is impressive. They're, they're the strength of the holders. The D Gen score is high, huh? Absolutely. [00:34:29] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah. And they're really, uh, they're really executing there. So, um, you know, shout out to the team there for. Putting something good together. So yeah, that's like, I've been really trying to think about like, you know, what projects are still actively being worked on and, and sort of like, can you scoop up any, any good values? [00:34:46] Uh, yeah. And like, you have to like what it is, right? I mean, like, I don't, like if I buy something I, you know, honestly, like I don't wanna sell it. I, I, uh, You know, I'll just hold on [00:34:55] forever. [00:34:56] Rantum: That's the best way, right? Just by what you, what you actually want to own . [00:34:59] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That way if it goes zero, you feel a little less bad. [00:35:04] So [00:35:04] Rantum: yeah. Hey, we all have at least a few of those, right? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Awesome. Uh, so where can people find you and, uh, [00:35:12] Elbarto Crypto: You. Yeah. You can find a very inactive crypto account starting today at El barto underscore crypto on Twitter. Uh, I'll be back in February. Don't worry. [00:35:22] Rantum: You do have a list of, uh, research for I, you know, people will wanna get some homework. [00:35:25] There's, there's some . [00:35:27] Elbarto Crypto: Yeah. If you feel like you have nothing to do over the, over the break and, uh, you wanna. do some NFT research. I have plenty of projects for people to hand out. So Is the baby here already? No. No. It, it's coming soon. Yeah. All right. Well, [00:35:42] Rantum: so very exciting. That's awesome. Um, anything else you wanna add before we sign off here? [00:35:47] Elbarto Crypto: You know, I would add if anyone has any advice on having a bo a dog stop barking in a shadow, like please reach out to me because, uh, it's been a, a constant thorn on my side. He's a great, he's a great pal and a great farmer, so welcome to you. [00:36:01] Rantum: That shadow's throwing him. Awesome. Well, thank you so much Alberto Crypto. [00:36:04] This is awesome. First interview. Uh, very excited, and we'll have to talk again soon. [00:36:10] Elbarto Crypto: Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. All right.

For this episode, we talk about all things Miami art week and what we loved, and what we could have missed.

Rantumbits.ETH   talks about the different events at Art Basel Miami 2022. https://www.artbasel.com/?lang=en   Rought transcript - don't judge [00:00:00] Well, we've got a quick podcast here, topic on all about affordable NFTs, where our very own Andrew went over to Art Basil. You know, we talked about, you were there day one, but I felt like there was more to say. And so this is just like a quick recap of, you know, it's been a week or so since you've gone. [00:01:05] you know, news is settled. Time to settle. What are the things that are still sticking in your mind from actually getting to walk around on the ground in Miami? Hey, uh, yeah, it'd be good to talk a little bit about this. I was, hadn't really gotten to experience much of Basel before, uh, or when we last spoke about it, I was just heading over to some events, um, and got to a lot of events over the course of the, the. [00:01:31] Three, three nights I was there. Uh, it went by quickly. Um, there's got over to the convention, uh, the convention itself, uh, which is where Art Basel really is. And, and Art Basel is a, uh, it's an event that happens in four times a year. It's based actually in Basil, Switzerland. Then there's one in, they have an event in Miami, uh, Hong Kong and. [00:01:55] Wanna say, I think it's either London or Paris. I, I, I could look that up. I'm sure you could too, if you're really interested. . Um, so this is the Miami version I had never been before. Went over there and this was an enormous exhibition with very high end artwork of most. Mostly newer artists. I mean, newer being, uh, the last a hundred years or so, and there's some really impressive artworks on sale. [00:02:17] Uh, so I should say on display, I mean, the art galleries, they, you can buy them, um, or one can buy them if you have the, uh, , the funds. But, um, you know, there were some, some very pricey works. There were things that were also reasonable. In many cases, the prices aren't listed, but you see works from, from, uh, from artists. [00:02:35] Uh, Picasso for, uh, I guess Banksy was over at another, I. Maybe I could, I could, I'll separate that. Um, uh, but Kandinsky, uh, uh, uh, Trent Morro, any many works from, from just artists that, um, that, you know, um, that by naming it, if you aren't maybe the, the most into, to art. But, uh, there's some, there's a. It, it's impressive the number of galleries there and the people that have traveled from all around the world. [00:03:05] I mean, you can hear just different, uh, different languages being spoken and, and, uh, just the galleries that are representing, uh, different, um, cities around the world. Um, it's quite impressive. Yeah. You know, based on some very soft, uh, research by myself, 23 countries, you know, 160 plus galleries. I mean, it's, it's massive. [00:03:27] Been going on. Was supposed to start actually in 2001, happened in 2002. Uh, cuz it was postponed due to nine 11. So it interest, yeah, it was quite 20th anniversary. They were, I was actually surprised at, you know, maybe I'm just used to, uh, N F T events, but the, the lack of, uh, swag that they were not giving away anything along with the, you know, $75 ticket or so it seems like. [00:03:51] You know, you maybe want somebody walking around with a bag or, or whatnot. If you do, um, you know, if you get people in the door, but, uh, maybe that's, maybe that's not, not their game. . Yeah, maybe not. I'm curious, you know, were you able, here's an objective question, right? The ticket cost $75. There's premium tickets, which cost whatever. [00:04:11] Uh, you have to pay for a hotel. You have to pay for a. Here's the quick question. You know, it's been a week. You got new NFTs, I noticed. I see your wallet. , objectively speaking, are the NFTs you got potentially if you sold them, not like right now, would it cover the cost of the trip, assuming you paid full freight? [00:04:29] Oh, uh oh, man, that's, that's tough to say. You know, Miami, you know, there were. A lot of events to go to, tickets to buy, um, you know, and, and staying there. It, it's a, I used a lot of of points, uh, on that trip. It's, uh, but the traffic was, it's crazy how much traffic, uh, or how much time units sp sitting in traffic. [00:04:51] So this was the, the main Basel events, and this is all really part of Miami Art Week. Um, as, as they're really trying to , you know, to. Um, you know, market the, the whole week in Miami, um, most of the, the Basel or like the real Basl event is on Miami Beach, and then that's a lot of the, the super high end galleries are over there. [00:05:14] And so there's a lot of people that come over to drive over to Miami Beach, which is accessible by, uh, essentially two narrow bridges and they get super backed up as we were getting on to go back from. From Miami Beach over to A to N F T Now's event, um, which I'll speak about in a second. Um, it, the said it would take up to about 15 minutes as we, as we pulled onto the bridge, the driver told us it would be an hour, and, uh, he was definitely more correct. [00:05:45] I, I fell, I fell asleep on the way over anyway, it wasn't so bad for me. And as I woke up, I said, Hey, wait, it's. It's only been two minutes AC, or we've only shaved two minutes off the time. I know we've been in the car a long time. So, um, you know, I heard a lot of stories of people just sitting in traffic. [00:05:59] Um, so it was. Definitely not as bad over on the, the Miami side. And that is where most of the N F T events were. Uh, there was one event that, or one, a big expo that was sort of in between. They had a, they had some digital arc there and, um, I should, uh, Tezos was a, uh, I guess that was actually at, at Basos Tezos did have a, was a sponsor at, uh, Basl. [00:06:24] Um, so there was some n ft representation there. At the, the other one it was a little bit more, um, modern art. That's where I saw Banksy. Some, um, more, uh, s, I don't know, maybe established or traditional fiat based artistry, . and also someone that, you know, if you had, if you had thought about, you know, if you had told someone in the, you know, maybe 1970s that this artist that had done a lot of graffiti would end up being one of the most popular artists of this time. [00:06:55] And I think you go even LA much later than that. Um, you know, that would probably, uh, sound pretty surprising. So what I. You know, what I like about that is I think that there's a, a big opportunity for, for N F T artists to, to make headway here. And that it's a, it's a, it's a place that's generally, um, more accepting two creative ideas done well. [00:07:17] Um, so, you know, kind of hopeful that, you know, we can start to see NFTs move up in these, uh, in these different events and, and become more of a focal point at them. Um, the N F T now event was, they had. I mean, it was like two or three blocks sort of, uh, sectioned off down there and then down to, uh, I don't know, an area of Miami, um, that had a lot of, it seems like there were a lot of sort of storefronts that could just, that were. [00:07:44] Empty and could be used for pop-up stores. So Meta Mask had a booth there, art Blocks, uh, 90 cc, who is a fashion company. Uh, and I, I think I mentioned this on a previous episode, they were doing a live. Minting of live minting printing of shirts there. Uh, so this was a collaboration with Snow fro. They made 1200 unique shirts. [00:08:09] You could, uh, actually go there and mint your shirt, get, you'd see it display on the screen. There's a, I'm gonna get a co-op of your shirt at some point when we hang out. Yeah, well, yeah. So they do, they put an they right as you're there, you see them put the NF seed chip in, uh, in the shirt. They put your. [00:08:29] Your, your squiggle design, you know, your squiggle inspire design pops up on the screen so you can see it in the, in the lounge area as you're waiting. And, um, they did a really good job of, with the, uh, the presentation of that. And, you know, it was, they, the box was really impressive too. I should, uh, you know, if I, that was good at these, at sharing photos, like, you know, I, I would put something together, but, uh, , I'll ask. [00:08:51] I'm not so, so good at that . Um, you know, I can talk about it, but it doesn't sound so cool, does it? I mean, hey, depends on the audience. Really Awesome. . Like, it sounds cool to me. Kinda. Yeah. Hey, it was really cool. I mean, they did a, they really did a great job. The events were, were nice there. Um, the other, uh, you know, big, uh, or one of my favorite events there was the, uh, the FOCs Paint party. [00:09:15] I was waiting for that one. The paint party? Yeah. So it was the second paint party that I got to go to. The last one, uh, was, the last one was in New York. N F T N Y C, uh, this past June. Um, and those were painting canvases, big canvases that were stung from the ceiling, and those have been made into the canvas NFTs. [00:09:34] Um, so this one was a little, was different in that you're painting t-shirts and actually all sorts of different fashion items. The t-shirts you got to take home with you. The other items such as Adidas sneakers, Jean jacket style, you know, jean jacket, whatever, you know what I mean? , those types of jackets. [00:09:57] Uh, just pants, all sorts of other items. Uh, all bright white when they were, uh, you know, put out there, those were available for anyone to paint on, but those had to stay there. So I imagine that those will become part of a new, uh, collection of some sort that will be released in the future. You know, the idea being that everybody chipped in on these, uh, These, these object as well. [00:10:19] Uh, it was a fun time there. They, they do a really good job of getting people in. It's a, it's a lot of people that come in and they keep it manageable. Lot of supplies. Big warehouse, big space. They have food, they have full zip up suits, I gotta say put on. Sounds like they have the most buttoned up. Type of I R L meets N F T game. [00:10:40] Is that fair? Like walking, walking around. You have been to two, you went to one in NYC and now one in, uh, in the Basel, right? In Miami, yeah. Yeah. This, I mean, there's a lot of these. I didn't even mention that my wife came on with me on this, this trip and, you know, so I was, You know, trying to make sure that I was doing things that weren't entirely, uh, N F T and, you know, staring at your phone and geeking out and being like, Hey, uh, you know, but this was one that I, speaking of, which I thought was a, Hey honey, I know she listens to all the episodes. [00:11:07] Thank you. Okay. We'll see if she hears that. Yep. Uh, . Oh, big test. Oh boy. Oh man. But, I mean, shoe had a good time at that event. It should. She painted her own own shirt there. I, you know, did have a couple of, of tickets. So, uh, it was cool to, to be able to do that one and, you know, go to some of these events that it's, it's so much more than staring at your phone. [00:11:29] You know, there's some of these, you know, it's, it's, it's a, I mean, that's a certainly experience that we'll both remember going to. It's something that you, I mean, yes, I had done it once before, but, but it's a pretty, it's a pretty different thing than what you would normally do, uh, when you're, and like you said, it's approachable for other people, like, Goes beyond this, like, Hey, look at my digital collectible. [00:11:48] Or I have access to this like special room where there's like, okay, another opportunity to buy a thing. As I understand it, they like scan you at the door, dress you up in a, like a suit so you don't get your clothes. What hand you a spray paint can and say have at it kind of thing? Yeah. There's all sorts of painters, spray paint, there's all sorts of, I mean, there's markers, there's, you know, just all sorts of things around, there's, you can hang 'em on walls and other guidelines like, don't draw a bunch of dicks everywhere. [00:12:14] No, I mean, there's. I think, huh, maybe, maybe Fis has, has done a good job of that. You know, he's able to curate, curate it downstream being like, yeah, I mean, you gotta be a holder, I guess, to get in. So, you know, maybe there is something there. I don't know what it would be like in other collections or in other project, I mean, [00:12:35] I don't have a lot of hope for Dick Butts, but Okay. Yeah. I'm not . Right. Um, but yeah, I mean that was definitely one of the best inter inspiring experiences. Uh, you know, the N F T now one I felt like was a little bit more targeted at people that already knew a lot about NFTs, uh mm-hmm. . They had, there was a very cool gallery in an old bank where they put, uh, they put. [00:12:58] Some of the, the especially high-end pieces, like an X copy on display in the vault, uh, which is a cool thing to walk around. Um, it just was somewhat, um, and it wasn't the most, it wasn't the easiest for my wife to get interested in, you know, I probably would've spent a little bit more time there, but I felt like it was very targeted at people that already knew something. [00:13:19] And I, I'd love to see that kind of expand and, you know, bring people into this that don't know much about it. Make it something that you. I know you don't have to have known so much. You don't have to be so ssed in the N F T world to, um, to really have a good experience at, uh, a awesome final question, I guess is would you go back, would you do it again? [00:13:43] If so, what would you do differently? Yeah, I, I would like to go back. I don't know that I would go, you know, next year. I'd like to go back at, at some point and see. See the progress that NFTs make over time. I think that they're, I think that NFTs will become more, uh, more of a focus of some of the galleries. [00:14:04] Uh, you know, maybe we even, and I, I guess that's something that I'd be interested in seeing. You know, are we going to see, are we gonna see. Galleries or, or, you know, crypto native spaces pop up in, uh, in, you know, more official Basel places or, you know, are you gonna see super rare there? Are you, are you going to see, um, bright moments at at, at one of these? [00:14:30] Events, or are they going to continue to really do things separately? Or are we gonna see the, those mainstream galleries that are at Basil, are we gonna see them start to adopt NFTs? You know, I, I think that's Look, follow the money. Follow the money, follow, like, yes, probably. Unless there's like a certain [00:14:47] Well, I think there's, I mean, I'm sure there'll be pushback from certain, certain people in, in the art world and. and there's going to be competition. So it's gonna be a matter of, you know, who, you know, I didn't see a big push yet, and I would be interested to see how that changes over time. You know, I think it may take, it may take a couple years, uh, and as I said, it's, I mean, it's a lot to go to as far as , I mean, getting there from for, for a weekend, from Fr, from San Francisco anyway. [00:15:14] But it's definitely something I would be, be interested in, in checking out again at some point in the future. . Well cool. It's very interesting to at least hear it from your perspective being on the ground and then like a little time passing so you can kind of absorb what's actually, uh, memorable about it. [00:15:29] Cuz it seemed like at the time, very overwhelming. You were trying to find like a Geocache X copy somewhere, . Oh man. Those went fast. I never got anywhere close to those. Never were anywhere close to it. All right, man, man. Yeah. I guess maybe it's, no, I was watching your, try to spend some more time there, but that's how, man, there's just so much to get packed into these events. [00:15:47] That's part of the, the, the fun of going, I think. All right. Well, uh, thanks for sharing that. [00:16:25] No, no, no, no. Don't, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do it. There's one more thing, but wait, there's one more thing. What he, Andrew was so excited about this extra one thing. We turned on the microphone again, and we're spending the money on the tape right now. . Oh, man. It is, it's pricey. I think we, we did just, I picked him up from Costco the other day. [00:16:43] So, cassettes? No, you know, I, I forgot to mention the, this, this ridiculous. Um, At M Machine that was on display, or it was a, it was an exhibit by, uh, MS. C H F mischief Mag. I, I, I don't. They've, they've done a lot of magazines and a lot of, um, kind of ridiculous products before. This was one where they had an at or an at t m card reader that would take a picture and a, and would, uh, grab the balance that you have in your in your account. [00:17:20] So I believe the, uh, the leader ended up being, The, uh, artist Diplo who had something like 12 million in his account, his at TM account, which is both absurd and ah, I mean, it's absurd. I don't know, but, but it's, it's quite a, I mean, that, I just felt like that was, it is something of, of like, what, what is an N F T of this? [00:17:46] Or is it just. Yeah. There's no nft. I wish there were, but you know, I, I was, it just felt like there's, there's a lot of that in Miami. There's a lot, because I would buy the N F T of DIP bank account balance. That's, I'm showing something interesting. All the, yeah. Right. Because I think there is something at this time, at this place, that guy had a lot of money in his account. [00:18:02] Mm-hmm. , that's a, but that's a digital. There is something to that that's like, it's showing digital wealth, right? It's just a bank account and I wanna show it off somehow. And I don't, it made me think of once people start, I mean, you see so many people there trying to show off money. It's a Fiat Plus, right? [00:18:20] That's a Fiat plus. It's, I, that's something that I, I felt like was, you know, I don't know, maybe we're almost missing that people need, people want people to show this off, and I think that there's a lot of people that can realize, that, will realize that you can actually show these off a lot easier than you can show off the thing that's hanging in your living room. [00:18:37] That's pretty hard to get someone to come over to your living room and see it. But if you can show. Somebody that you own this piece of art on the blockchain, there's something there. So it was just an idea that was kinda in my head, after seeing that thing. And eh, people like to flex and show off well, and it's a good thing for NFTs and, and ridiculous. [00:18:58] Part on the blockchain. And as we were saying, it's uh, bellwether, it's a bellwether for N F T adoption in the art world, which is probably its strongest footing in use case right now. Although there are many, many use cases. Uh, but in terms of if we're talking about, you know, price and value, um, that's where we're probably seeing it. [00:19:17] So thanks. Thanks for sharing. Glad we, uh, spent the time on the tape,

Uh, at this point, I, I imagine, uh, folks have already heard the Tim Ferris, uh, launch of his nft, but we'll get into that in a bit. How it, you know, livened up the market a little bit, gave it a little cock punch. [00:01:06] I guess that's a thing we say. Boy. Yeah. I mean, you know, crypto needs more, more odd sayings to have people overhear in other conversations. Right from, from Normies. So now you can talk about, it's been minutes cock punch. Yeah. Did you mint, you didn't get the minty cock punch, right? I was on the wait list. [00:01:24] I was right there at exactly the right time. It felt like the old days of, yeah, it felt like the good old days of like, oh, I didn't know I was in a gas war. Cause I thought I was. and approved pre whitelist. Exactly. At like the time when they said to do it and it got gased. I was like, whoa. I didn't think that was what we were doing here. [00:01:42] Yeah. I was fortunate to have, fortunate enough to have one, uh, mint spot for that one and a, a raffle. Um, so it did mint, uh, those, yeah, it's been, been quite some volume. People get into that a bit more, but, uh, anything else new in your wallet recently? George? Well, uh, I already was, uh, celebrating the fact that I got the artifact Nike dunk, uh, not too long ago. [00:02:04] Uh, still pretty pleased by that. But then I got dropped these, uh, shield Age things that I think, um, came as a result of one of our previous, um, uh, previous projects that we talked about. Uh, the sort of, um, looking for it, but the, the membership. So I hadn't gotten an interesting drop in of it. So yeah, I cotu tsunami sum. [00:02:27] Pronounce that. Yeah, we did mention that one. Or, um, yeah. Cool. I, uh, had one, uh, I picked up one new piece today from Colby. It was a very small edition. Uh, uh, it was a hundred edition, hundred pieces total. Um, there were 70 for sale, quite really small. They were 0.2. It was a project they hadn't heard about artifacts. [00:02:48] So that, that's those kind of interesting to check out a lot of 3D objects from. As they state a hundred, uh, premier crypto artists of col use is the latest one. We've had some others there too. Um, I think those are, I, I can't quite tell what's going on. They were, like I said, they were at 0.2 at one, uh, from the, uh, mint, but they were really just for sale on, on open sea, so it wasn't quite minting. [00:03:13] It, uh, you're actually picking one of the, uh, the existing tokens and, and hoping that. out , you, you just beat somebody else to it. So missed on a few, got one. Uh, no, but it's, uh, little different experience. Um, it does feel like there's, you know, overall it does feel like there's, there's people waiting around for the right projects. [00:03:35] Yeah, I mean, I think the, the degenerates are still here. If you look at like N F T sale volumes, , um, over the past seven days. Um, they're, you know, slightly up actually, uh, overall by about, depending on how you're looking at it, just on the Ethereum network by like 10%. So I wonder if, you know the, there's a, a December end of year bump, but I mean, we've been talking about it. [00:03:57] I do have to do some harvesting. I'm like, it's kind. The clock is going and I'm gonna be so frustrated with myself if I didn't like, uh, go through the old, uh, catalog of broken dreams. We'll call them. Yeah, at the very least, I mean, I would say it's something I did last year was even just swapping. Tokens from the same collection with other people in that had pieces from that collection. [00:04:19] Um, you know, if you're looking to, to move your token, um, you know, and, and sell it cheaply and then pick one up from another, if you don't, you know, maybe just wanna help somebody else out, maybe hop in and discord, look at ways that you can take a, uh, you know, realize a loss, um, and maybe help somebody else out. [00:04:36] Those, those losses can be big when it comes to tax. Yeah, well, I'll be in our discord. I may have a Bonny or two that I bought at the wrong time. . Yeah. Up in our discord up project Discord, you know, uh, we, we are not , we're not, uh, excluding ourselves with this need to, uh, to, um, to take some losses here. Yeah. [00:04:59] Well, on the news side, uh, looks like. You've shopped quite a bit here. You've got a ledger, just launched a new hardware wallet for your NFTs. Am I dumb? Like why? Like, I thought we could just toss our NFTs on their last wallet. Like what is special about this thing? Yeah, so this is, it's, it's an interesting wallet here. [00:05:17] This is, um, little bit different than, than what you've seen before. A lot of the wallets that we've seen have been very much like u USB keys. Hmm. Uh, this is a, this actually has images. It looks a little bit more, it's a, about size of a credit card or the, uh, length by width of a credit card. It's thicker. [00:05:35] It's designed by Tony Fidel who, uh, was with. Apple for a long time was the, uh, the designer of the, the iPod signed many of their, of apple's famous devices. Um, so what this does is put along the side, it's a, um, the sign, there's a digital screen that you can label it with, and then on the front there's also a digital screen, so you can see your NFTs there. [00:05:59] Um, trying to make it a little, um, more okay activity happening on the device. Um, and they've used mostly hardware wallets out there. It's a little. Putting a key in and then really doing most of it on your, on your computer. Uh, I guess all I've done is as my desktop or my laptop, I should say, not on my mobile with a, uh, With a, uh, hardware wallet. [00:06:22] Um, you know, that being said, uh, yeah, so there's a, looks really cool. That being said, hasn't actually been, uh, tested out much yet. Um, you know, ledger is a, a trusted name among hardware wallets. It's not one that I've used, uh, personally. Um, this is, this does use Bluetooth, which I've been, I've been somewhat hesitant to, to, uh, use a, um, hardware wallet with Bluetooth. [00:06:47] Um, to me it's. The potential risks seem not worth the, the convenience of, of not plugging it in. Um, but I, I am curious to see what people think about this once it, uh, is fully released. I mean, it's some beautiful piece of looking tech, I'll say that. Mm-hmm. and a lot more than I think we've seen for a while. [00:07:08] Yeah. I, you know, it's kind of one of those things like, I don't fully understand. The upside of having a screen, because I use my, uh, mobile phone to show things when I wanna show it really quickly. Like, oh, I own this thing. And like, um, and makes me nervous. Silly. One of thing around still putting the safes a lot. [00:07:27] I don't wanna Oh, but then I usb Well, um, but I think it, you know, just having more options, um, for hardware wallets I think is, is great. They. They're, they're relatively underused at this point by, by the crypto community. I think. [00:07:42] Let's see, next here, we've got some more, uh, Nike Artifact News. Um, so they are hinting at a, a move to earn, uh, type of, uh, feature for the, this new shoe that they have dropped. I think we, we talked about this a little bit. Um, they discovered they. They announced the physical shoe, um, at nf? Yeah, at the NFT Now event. [00:08:10] At, at, during Miami Art Week. Art Basel. Um, and now sounds like they may be going, um, a little bit in the, uh, direction of, uh, uh, why my, what's the, uh, the one that's done this already? George, uh oh, the, it was on Solana, right? Right. Oh God. Oh, hold on, man. Blanking, blanking, . Um, but you know, it's interesting, you know, they've, we've got a couple, actually I think we have two items, step, a step in. [00:08:42] There we go. You know, definitely a bigger name in this. And you know, we've seen them, I don't know, we've talked about with step, it's big. A lot of that is. About advertising and then being able to, uh, get you to check these things so that you're, you know, getting exposure to the new ads and everything. So, um, interesting that they're interesting to see that Nike's also getting into that. [00:09:00] I would think that they would be a little bit more of, uh, gaming it or gaming it so you can get your own points and whatnot to, uh, use in their ecosystem. Um, [00:09:11] we. Shoot up. We've got one other, uh, Nike story here. Um, that. I'm actually just throwing it in. Um, so this, so part of this news was a little disappointing to some of their, uh, longtime holders of the, the monolith boxes. Uh, this, the news was the shoes would only be available to ship to the United States. [00:09:36] This had never been discussed before in, uh, in any of their drops. When they, I mean, they've gone from the artifact shoot to different. Nike monolith boxes and, and whatnot. So this has, uh, definitely disappointed some of the holders. We've seen some, some, uh, big price drops in, um, a couple of their collections as well. [00:10:01] Um, you know, so they're, um, it's not clear to me if this, the, the move to. Part would also be blocked outside of the us. My, my hunch is that it's not going to be supported outside of the us so that would be a, you know, relatively big detri detriment to the international, uh, customer base. Yeah. I'm managering They're having a real fun time in the, in the legal department. [00:10:24] I just, I was also looking at this, are we, are we saying that there's another official word for the. Physical, digital called Fidgital. Are they gonna stick with fidgital as a real word? Are we doing that? I, I mean, it's pretty bad, right? It's a, we gotta do better on that. It feels, I feel like it's going around and I really don't like it. [00:10:44] I think it's too late. It's not up to us. You're telling me I'm still ruining, I'm still rooting for my ons. I just wanna call NFTs ons. Come on, . I. All right. We get onto our next story here. So, oh man, we've talked about Reddit and how they're just killing it, but not with NFTs, of course, with digital collectibles, right? [00:11:05] So they have, they're not NFTs, very clear. Definitely NFT Man, 216,000 minted in a single day. This is a new record for, for their platform and I. For any platform, um, you know, outside of somebody just saying that they maybe minted a whole bunch of, uh, tokens on their own. Um, this is, this is crazy. They just keep coming in waves. [00:11:28] People are, there's new creators. Just, just learning from what's been done before and, and killing it with, with new releases. This is cool. I have not, you know, I, I still haven't fully jumped, you know, fully. Uh, jumped into that NFT or the, uh, the Reddit n f t universe. But man, this is, this is great. Yeah. And guess what? [00:11:50] It's all happening on Polygon, I'm pretty sure here. Um, , full disclosure. Yeah, I like Polygon. [00:11:59] Okay. We've got, finally, we've got ape. Staking coming and it's causing problems because of course, right? You guys rolled something else out. Uh, there are people that are losing all of their, to their steak tokens because they sell, they do not realize that they're bored, ape or they're muttin or whatever. [00:12:21] Ape they might have or dog or whatever. I don't exactly know how the, the staking works, but it, it is essentially the key to the tokens. If you stake with, if you stake the tokens, you must have that NFT to get them back. Some people don't seem to realize this, think that's maybe based on the, the wallet instead, other people losing some pretty big, uh, big token amounts from this. [00:12:43] Um, this is one. The numbers look insane right now. There's people . If you go on Twitter, you'll find people talking about, you know, retiring, living off the, uh, the staked token income. You know, we've seen how these play out. If you're thinking about anything back like that, please, please look at how those have played out in the past, every single time. [00:13:04] Not like, oh, maybe this is different every single time. , it's almost tiresome watching that movie play out again and again. And just to explain the way that like staking is promised is you lock up your coins here, we give you yield from the magical yield ferry. Don't ask any questions about the magical internet money that will obviously just keep coming as long as you keep pumping the price and nothing will ever happen. [00:13:30] Cuz you know, music will always keep playing. The money must come from somewhere and you know, I would hope. , anybody new getting into it would realize that. But if you're already in, here's the weird thing, I will say this as somebody who has been in the middle of, you know, the circus while the music is playing and it's like pretty amazing, you know, when magic money is just dropping into your wallet. [00:13:55] It just doesn't last though. And it, you know, it can, it can be hard to pull out, but like if you possibly can, you know, capture that initial investment as quickly as possible. And, you know, do not think of it as like a huge opportunity. It just, where does the money come from? And it can't be magical Internet fairies. [00:14:15] That's the answer. [00:14:17] All right. Hey, do you remember that, uh, story about we're gonna buy the Constitution? You know, all the, the, oh, it was getting, that was like a year ago today almost, right? Yeah. You know how that died? Well, it's. Another, there's another group getting together trying to buy the Constitution, um, constitution DAO two. [00:14:37] This is another copy of the Constitution. Remember, if you remember from the last one, it was, it ended up being bought by, uh, Kenneth Griffin from Citadel, um, , Citadel Ventures. He basically saw that Dow had raised about 40, I wanna say about 45 million or something. So that is 45. Oh one, you know, whatever it might be, ready to go 46 million and, and, uh, beat that bid. [00:15:04] Uh, I think they're trying to, so they're selling NFTs with this one. I, I know they're trying to not say exactly how much they have. I don't know exactly how it's gonna work. I mean, it's on chain, but, you know, I also think it's a pretty different environment than, than maybe we were in at that time. So we'll see. [00:15:22] What kind of money gets, uh, gets raised. To, uh, to go after this addition. Is that the Affordable project? go? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you wanna bring that one. . I just like on their site, they've got Nick Cage, they're really playing it up. Um, just a picture of 'em. Not like public endorsement, but, uh, pretty funny. [00:15:47] Good luck. I don't understand the, I mean, the utility of own. an artifact like that, but I guess I do. At least it's worth something, right? Like ar arguably, like if you have people like, uh, Ken Griffin, like spending over 47 million to buy the thing, there's some market out there. Yeah. I mean, they're not making more. [00:16:11] Well, I mean, I guess, I don't know. Are they, are they on the blockchain? I don't know how many there really are [00:16:17] They've raised 36 eats so far. I just found that app. So maybe it's a ways to go. 36 eth Looks like they've total public amount raised so far. Th what's No, you're missing. It's gotta be more. That's not gonna do it. . They're getting boy. [00:16:38] All right, well, we'll see what happens. We'll, uh, we may come back with an update on that . Yeah, well, we talked, well talking about, speaking of Polygon, as you were earlier, we got Starbucks and their N F T efforts back here. They are actually rolling these out to beta, uh, beta testers now. Um, I, yeah, we've talked about how we haven't really, uh, seen much about this, but, you know, maybe there are just more beta testers being able to use the points and everything, but, you know, they're, they're moving ahead. [00:17:09] That's. I'm kind of shocked to see that nifty gateway is going to be powering their marketplace. Yeah. Why? . Why? Why? I mean, why am I shocked? Why are you No, no, no, no, no. Why are you shocked? , uh, why are they, why are they doing that? Why are they throwing in with a centralized NFT marketplace that has ties to Gemini Winklevoss twins that I think owe or owed as much as 900 million from the FTX scandal and collapse? [00:17:40] I don't know. Just questions. Just questions. Full disclosure. I have, I think, systematically removed every single, uh, nifty I had on that. , uh, just in case. Yeah. Not so bad. Can't hurt to have that in your, your own wallet, right? It's self custody. Mm-hmm. [00:17:58] Well, I can talk about Zed cause I know we're gonna be pushing our, uh, We're gonna push in our talk about Cock Punch, uh, a little bit later. But, uh, look, Zed, the, I would say the game that, uh, really got me into NFTs, uh, with regard to horse racing and whatnot, uh, you know, they're still kicking four years down the road and they have a major update to the platform, which is always kind of funny because there's a lot of people who bought a lot of these horses. [00:18:27] And a lot of, I know, yeah, I know of some, I know of one in particular, one of them. Uh, but they're, I will say impressively updating and not afraid to sort of innovate, but they're adding like levels, which is gonna increase, um, how people are getting like, experienced points on top of their horses. So, you know, it's kind of interesting to see that they had an original asset near Horse, which was an N F T, but there were hidden attributes, um, that could sort of only be seen on their system, not necessarily publicly. [00:18:55] You could see their stats. So, These NFTs are sort of evolving in a game, in a way that I don't see any other game doing. And they're, you know, , they're doing it all on the blockchain. It's all in public, right? It's happening on Polygon. So they're trying to just make it, um, you know, more fun as a, as a gameplay. [00:19:13] And, you know, I have a bunch of these horses that are being lent out on a regular basis now. And, you know, people, people are, are racing them. Um, it's interest. Awesome. I feel like we should have like, theme music for, for the stables, the stable report or something from, for George. What's going on with, with not stable report? [00:19:35] it's, it's mostly not stable. It's actually stable. Let's not moving too much. Awesome. Um, let's see. So we don't, well we're gonna discuss a big project today. We don't have a specific project that we're. Going to, uh, to bring, I don't think, unless you, you have a surprise for us at the last moment here, George. [00:19:56] I don't have any buzzer beaters. You know, I think, uh, I, I'm still just, uh, enjoying the fact that I picked up the, uh, The artifact there. But I will say because of the, uh, , because of the news that we just talked about with Nike and people being, I think, a little frustrated, um, the floor price is, uh, well below where I, uh, would say you, yeah, I was talking about buying it before you had, it was such a great buy until that. [00:20:24] It looked like you had a great offer on it and things had kind of started picking up and then the news came out and, uh, you know, as, ah, it does feel like, man, anytime you, you actually release news, it's just, it's never good. Uh, floor Bryce is at, uh, 0.28, uh, call it two at 0.29. So, um, it is lowest it has been in quite some time. [00:20:46] So if you think Nike can, you know, figure out how to make shoes a thing, uh, you know, maybe. Uh, pull up on it, but it's, um, yeah, I don't know. It's pretty much kinda my, my joke that I kind of expected that is like, as soon as I buy it, I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Yeah. Has that fallen knife right. I'm sorry. [00:21:07] That is important. So let us, of course, let us know, uh, you know, we'll, we'll get to talk about Cock Punch and everything here. Of course, you'll have to let the, uh, let the community, let the, the listeners know if you do pick one up. Cause we know what that will we'll do to the price, right, George? Oh, right to the mo. [00:21:21] Well, I mean, this podcast is definitely gonna drive it right back up, so no worries on that. Moving markets every day. All right, so we talked a little about this project. We, we, everybody knows about this at this point. If you're. Yeah, you probably do the Tim Ferris project that, you know, he started talking about on his blog. [00:21:40] It's, you know, really kind of funny looking, uh, chickens, but it's a whole fictional, we are preveal here to just noting as we, as we record this, we are pre preveal. Uh, so, you know, who knows what may have. Post reveal. Yeah. Uh, well, I I did try to get one. You actually got one. Uh, it's sold at 0.3 and, you know, sold out in like classic in inside of minutes because there was like far more. [00:22:11] Uh, I think marketing, uh, associated on it, uh, easy. Great marketer, isn't he? The guy knows how to market things, right? Like, you know, this is the person who, you know, made, basically made it under the scene with like a four hour work week, right? Where. , he actually came up with the title of that book after, like running a bunch of different ads to see what people would click on. [00:22:32] And he is like, oh, that . So, uh, he's certainly been in the game and he has, you know, friends like Kevin Rose, who as soon as you, I think have him on your project in any way, shape or form, saying like, I'm gonna support this. Like, there's just a lot of institutional. Uh, and old holders that all just follow him no matter what. [00:22:54] So right, you get the proof holders, you get the moon Bird people and anyone that just feels like they maybe missed out on those and still is a big fan. You know, I think overall we've, we've seen a lot of collections recently that I think speak to people that, um, maybe are of a similar age background, whatnot. [00:23:15] To Tim Ferris. And you know, one of the things that he was great at with his marketing of his books was really understanding where to, to make it feel like he's everywhere in a specific community. And I think he's done that here. He's been on Kevin Rose podcast. He's been on, he's been on just, just all of the, the major, uh, n F NFT and Crypto Media [00:23:37] Um, it's been on that tour and it's, it would be hard to not know about this if you're, you're in crypto. Um, This was, I mean, it was impressive volume here. This was a collection of 5,555 pieces. Pretty, I feel like we've seen a lot of collections going smaller recently, maybe with, you know, with the, uh, the editions of the market and, you know, this is a, this is a big collection sold out quickly, as you said. [00:24:04] I think, you know, you mentioned that it was about 10% overallocated not clear to me that it. It was only 10% based on how quickly that went. Uh, I think it may have been more regardless. It's, I mean, it's, it's impressive that there was this much just waiting out there for this, this project. He, he's then acted as a collector in the space, although I, as far as I know, his wallet is, is not known. [00:24:31] Um, but he has been at different events that reached out at the, uh, the, uh, Martha. Event for art blocks, um, as was Kevin Rose. Um, so, you know, he's, he's definitely been around and seems to understand a lot of the, some of the nuances of, of, of the NFT ecosystem and how to release a project. But this is, it's pretty different than from anything he's done before. [00:24:59] I mean, this is a, it's a, it's gonna be a fictional. Right. With these characters. He's launched a separate podcast to, I dunno if you'd say to support it, but it's sort of about kind of the, the creative exploration of this project. Right? Yeah. He's done some unique things here. Obviously we talked about the item size, which is different. [00:25:21] Uh, he has made it very clear, I, I don't think he's having a discord. Maybe that's, , he is promising exactly zero utility . Um, and like he's doing it like very much upfront, which, you know, if you look back pretty different than, you know, the Kevin Rose style of being like, oh, I'm gonna be sending you like all this kind of stuff. [00:25:43] You're gonna get alpha into discord. You're gonna be part of this. Like, I think Tim is just like, look, I design some really cool, funny, uh, art that pairs with an entire, uh, story narrative that he's just going to launch and. Uh, whole podcast behind it. And so it'll, um, you know, it'll be a potential creative asset, uh, that he, you know, tries to, to build behind. [00:26:07] And I see Gary Vaynerchuk trying to, you know, do this with, or talk about doing this mm-hmm. , uh, with, uh, v Friends, right? How there's gonna be stories associated with all these like little motivational cri critters running around business like, okay. Uh, This is, um, an interesting experiment. I was, I was frustrated. [00:26:27] I, uh, I really did wanna get one, but now I'm, you know, sort of hawing this, uh, , this price. Uh, as it kind of comes down, I think there's like, uh, probably a lot. What are we looking at right now? We're at point, point, uh, nine, six. Um, and I know you obviously picked it up at 0.3 probably on Right? This wasn't, I mean, I saw at one point there. [00:26:49] Solid sales at 1 1 5. And then it seemed to come back down to one three when I last looked at it, uh, before, before going to, to, to sleep the, uh, the night of, of the mint. Um, so it's come down a little bit. very, uh, I'm curious to see what happens with this. It's, yeah, it's very ex, almost the opposite of, of proof and what Kevin Rose has done in terms of not, you know, promising nothing. [00:27:15] I don't know exactly what to expect, um, in terms of the project and it, and it's not, it's not the type of project that I would typically just jump into. Because of the lack of details and lack of clarity about what's going on. It's the Tim Ferriss name certainly is, is what's carrying this project right now. [00:27:36] Yeah. Uh, clearly that's, that's in there. I, I do see that they did over 7 million in, you know, the first seven days and like, it hasn't been seven days, but it's been, you're sort of like aggregating a few days. , uh, whenever this comes out, I think it's also, um, it's interesting to see. I have never seen something of this volume, uh, go directly toward a nonprofit, uh, the Foundation, uh, which, you know, it is Tim's Foundation, so you're like, yeah, I did go to a nonprofit, but I think it's maybe slightly different what it is. [00:28:10] Your own personal, basically like nonprofits, you're running. Right, right, right. Like that, I mean, yeah. You, you get go do good work. That's fun to do with it. And you know, there's something about, you know, try, you know, believing in what you're doing. But yeah, it's not giving it away. We're not going, it's not going. [00:28:27] The Humane Society, I mean, again, look, there's a lot of oversight. Um, you know, because it's a, you know, they have to file as a public charity, uh, a nine 90, which you get full, uh, disclosures on how people are compensated. So you get the top three people that are compensated at the organization. Like my other, my other world is deeply in nonprofits, so I looking at this from that lens too, being like, holy cow. [00:28:52] Like if, you know, had a celebrity in a way to, to do it, like guess what? Like he, you don't pay taxes when you donate all of that money to a nonprofit and then you use it operat. You made money. So one of the things that, you know, I would give you, I imagine if he's giving it to that, that's also giving money to a nonprofit, even if it's his, it is a filed, we could, you know, I have a, I have a nonprofit that I run and I could have a drop and I could send all of the money to that nonprofit and I could hire me, which I do. [00:29:28] I work for it and I pay myself through it. I, I, I'm, I don't mean to be throwing any fud actually at, at all. I'm just looking at it can be done the wrong way. It can be, there's a lot of, there's a lot of variables in here, and we've seen cases where it's not done right. I'm not, neither of us are saying that that's the case here, or if Ferris is doing the, let me just take that clip, and we're like, well, hypothetically, , I think we've seen some issues where people have tried to, To maybe give money to certain organizations in the crypto space to maybe make things look better than they are. [00:30:09] Again, not what's happening. It just can be done. Um, and it hasn't been done too, some pretty ridiculous, uh, degrees in crypto anywhere. Well, The other question that kind of raises in my mind here, um, is that, let's just be honest, like it takes money to build community, to build assets, to build that podcast. [00:30:29] He's going to now all of the secondary sales, of which he gets 6.9% because he's a goofball, 69%. Like it's just funny, , 6.9%, uh, of the transactions that, um, you know, I, I don't know what networks are gonna. You know, allowing this, or not allowing it with author fees, but like, that's how that will actually generate its initial revenue, right? [00:30:55] Like, although the guy knows how to run a podcast, I'm sure he can get ads on top of his, like, fictional narratives and like go from there. But that, you know, it is a very different thing starting a company with like just the royalties that come off of this versus like starting a company with 7 million, like, you know, that's headcount, right? [00:31:12] that's head of marketing, head of creative, like, you know, the. Is, um, something Yeah, and you figure that most of those, you know, a good percentage of the royalties are gonna come in, you know, shortly after men. You know, as we, as we are recording this, it's really, we're less than a day and a half think we're about 30 hours, uh, from mid time. [00:31:35] Um, so, you know, we've seen a ton of volume and, well, it's hard to say, you know, the, the number of transactions likely slows down. It's hard to say what's going to happen. The price. So, you know, you don't know what the royalty, uh, royalties will end up being. Um, you know, that being said, it is, you know, he's got a big project to run here. [00:31:54] He is doing a podcast. He has, he, he announced the new podcast on his current podcast and said it was a. I think he said it was a 32nd promo for the new one. It was still a five plus minute recording because he fills those things with ads. He's real. If you've listened to his podcast, you'll know that man, there are a ton of ads and there are a ton of listeners. [00:32:16] They pay some big money. Uh, he, you know, he's found a way to make it work and he's not. Yeah, we, you know, we just talked about how it's his own nonprofit also, if he. if, if things weren't going so well. That's a lot of, a lot of money he just raised, you know, he, he's clearly, uh, clearly doing all right otherwise, that he, that he can do something like that. [00:32:36] I, I do expect that he'll be able to bring some of that to the, uh, the new podcast as well. Yeah, there's, um, you know, as I look at it, there's one wallet that has, um, like 10% of the project and it's unnamed exactly. and maybe tens like he may have just held on, he must have held onto it. So likes kinda interesting to be like, oh, there it is. [00:33:00] Like none of 'em have moved out. Um, as far as I can see, they're just like all airdropped to this wallet. So, uh, you know, I wonder how much of that supply the thing or something. I would think. Yeah. So I mean, if you're in this project, that's like one of those things that we're looking at to be like, all right, what is the distribution of holders? [00:33:22] and in a different world, right? Like, you know, you, if you have, uh, 10% of a project that will potentially just be sold along the way. Um, it's important to know that. And again, without a, a discord, I wonder if that actually kind of bites them a little bit because these people are gonna feel less of a camaraderie with each other, less of a connection and understanding of like, what's, what's being planned, other than like tuning into the, like , the podcast b. [00:33:51] Right. Yeah, that's, that is interesting. It's an interesting, interesting choice not to go with the, the discord. I think we've feel like we've seen that from, from some of the Freeman projects recently. You know, obviously at 0.3, this was not a Freeman kind of, uh, I don't know. I think we've, I'm not saying we've seen the end of Freeman's. [00:34:08] I just think, you know, people got maybe a little carried away with the idea that everything was going to be a free mint. And you know, more often I think this is going to be. I think most successful projects will actually start with a midprice because there is demand and it does give them something to play with, um, in terms of building afterward. [00:34:27] Yeah, I um, think it's another example too. You know, your. You're able to see, like, here's somebody who has, you know, uh, a brand and trust. And so if you're a creator who has built up an audience and audience trust over a period of time, like this is a playbook. And we've seen it, you know, run, uh, many times, but like, you know, really, I can only think of the, like Gary Vaynerchuk, Kevin Rose, Tim Ferris, like, uh, you know, you get some other stuff out there. [00:34:58] But in terms of like people that had. Large audience of podcasts, like running that type of play? Um, I, there's a lot more out there and I think there's a lot more creators that are like, at some point I know I'm gonna have to get into this game. Uh, I, you know, I think they'll probably care about not wanting to rug their supporters. [00:35:17] Uh, so watching it carefully because Tim cares, uh, and has c. Uh, that brand of trust. So I, uh, I don't own one, but if that price, I, I'll, I'll throw a dart at it. I was gonna ask you, what, what is your, what's your target? My target on this 1.6, I think there's a lot of people in here flipping this thing. I don't know how he kind of fully distributed it out there, but I don't think, um, the Venn diagram of. [00:35:43] overlapping. Tim Ferris fans and holders of this are, uh, anywhere near aligned, uh, right now. Yeah. There, you know, I feel like it's something, you know, there were a ton of raffles for this, um, across different projects and I, I get that to some degree that there's no way to, to really gauge how genuinely interested people are in the project. [00:36:09] And I hope that we can find ways that people. Have interest. It's something that I think if is where an artist that had released things before, a creator that had released things before, it's something that maybe you can find people that are actually holders, take a, you know, take a snapshot, something like that, a little harder with brand new projects and I. [00:36:28] I think you're right in that it ends up being just a lot of people that won and are looking to, to flip it, you know? And, and it's hard not to if you, if you don't care that much and you paid 0.3 and it's up to 1.3 the same day, or even one, it's a nice little nice little flip if you, if you don't, you know, for not doing much. [00:36:47] Um, yeah, I mean it's a, it's a much bigger buy for, for. Like you that's looking, that actually is generally interested and now you're thinking, well, what is the right entry point? Because there are a lot of people still, still flipping. Yeah. Look, it's, it's also kind of very clear that like, you know, you try your best, but like there are people in here who clearly got like, 40, 50 of these things, and I can look at them right now. [00:37:12] The top 100 owners, the number two and number three people had 47 and 58 respectively. And they are just constantly selling. They're just just completely selling into this market. And so, like, I, again, well that's the thing, right? Like maybe I, I don't have the whole narrative, but like I do and can look at Davis, I dunno. [00:37:35] I, I, if it. Yeah, you can do some more digging. See if those wallets are connected to the, the, to Tim and the team. I hope not. Cause I, you know, that's something that definitely frustrates me when I see people that have access, um, early access or, or privileged access to, to a project and getting too much at selling. [00:37:54] Cause I, you know, I'm not saying that you can't sell. , but I think that there's a, you know, there should be more of a lockup period for those that do have access. So I hope that it is not that case. Not saying it is, you know, we have seen it at, you know, in, in, in projects before. Yeah. I'll send it to you. I mean, it's like this person's, you know, made bank on this, you know, and it's clear they got a ton of these in the door. [00:38:16] I'm seeing at least, uh, 20 sales. Um, and you figure they're probably about tripling if you know at least. Yeah. Looks he's tripling. Um, on that. Uh, so again, when you're Oh, this mic cre to the pros. You though Yeah. Think I might even know who this is. , he's gonna check. Make sure it's not a friend of it. He like, oh, nevermind. [00:38:41] I think I, yeah, I might I know him. I mean, look, if you, if you get it, I mean it's not the do it. Yeah, but I mean it's the name. So wait, this, I did see this person buying a lot early, but I also think. Yeah, I guess I'd have to look at, you know, did they actually buy them or they, uh, you know, were they, did they mint that many? [00:39:03] Um, you know, I, I would think that with a raffle we'd see a relatively, um, Why distribution to a large number of unique wallets? Hmm. I don't, doesn't, uh, doesn't always work out entirely like that. You know, as you said, there's this person, a lot of these, um, it's a, you know, at the same time, you know, there may, I don't know where this project is going. [00:39:24] Um, it does feel like there is, there's a lot of demand and, and still people looking to get in and I. You know, I would think that the, there is a, I dunno, I don't see this one as one that's gonna be back to, to anywhere close to the midprice, um, anytime soon. I think, you know, it won't problem, it just won't, it just won't. [00:39:44] I, um, I'm throwing a dart at 0.6. I think the other piece here is like, I mean, this was on my radar immediately. I was like so fast to get on like the white list. I've listened to all the stuff in the past. I think I, yeah, I think that's what you can really see. The fact that like, when you have those elements, Person, trusted brand long time in the industry. [00:40:03] Probably a bit of a tech band, something funny, creative, something that they obviously put care into. And then that type of media blitz like, just try to get on the white list, you will make money. It's like, that seems now, will, should you hold it indefinitely? No freaking clue. But it's very clear when you have an over, like this is the old play when you over subscribe, drop with a, you know, a person or brand that's like trustworthy, like number probably go up. [00:40:28] Yeah. And I think that's, what a lot of people saw a year. Um, you know, people went for this mint, whether they were ready to hold it for a long time or just flip it cuz it looked, I mean it's sort of a no-brainer when, when you see this sort of attention and, and we weren't the only ones that saw it. . Yeah. [00:40:46] Well I, you know, it's disappointing cause you saw this, you, you did see this even earlier. You got on the wait list so early and I guess that's where I feel like shouldn't there be, you know, I, I won three through a raffle much later. Didn't have to pay much attention and, you know, It almost goes back to the days of when there was, uh, you know, just, uh, hustling and different discords to, you know, get on the lists and, and do all the different things. [00:41:09] And, you know, you do see that there is something to that. Cause it, yeah, it takes time and like you put in the time and you get rewarded for that. Like there's no, you know, no way around that. And. Uh, I'm surprised he didn't have us, you know, pre-buy a, a book or something to help him get another , another New York Times bestseller. [00:41:27] And, you know, I, I mean like, it's funny if he just, if he just did it, it was just, it was just almost nothing. It just said Cock Punch in the book and still I New York Times bestseller. It would've been pretty funny, dude, straight up, like, could have been a graphic novel. Like he could have gone ahead and like done it and be like, go buy this book. [00:41:42] And you're like, all right, fine, I'll go buy this. Like, I'll go buy 10 of 'em, like Gary V did that. , like, I think v2, I mean there's a book drop. Oh, so this is already done? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Tim, Tim doesn't follow . It's like Damnit. You did it first. , I love it comes back to how many like trees. Can I like incinerate to make some books? [00:42:03] Yeah. Yeah. Now that the blockchain is, uh, yeah, , I don't, I'm against books cuz it uh, hurts the environment. [00:42:11] Oh man. All right. Uh, we had one other narrative here, like, I don't know, we'll come talk about it later, but it just feels like one long band-aid ripping event after another with, you know, various platforms and fallout coming. We were speculating before we turn on the mic, like, Whether or not Heather is on the track. [00:42:29] Did we get anything right about this year? Did we get anything right about this year? ? No, I don't think so. I was so bullish. I did real predictions, but you know, I think we should, uh, maybe be more explicit about some predictions just so we can really see how bad we are, are. Did fair. We did talk about some of the themes, and I think we should try to go back to that at some point in one of our upcoming episodes. [00:42:53] All right, that's a good idea. How wrong were we about the themes of this year? , who predicted the multi-billion. Frauds and blowups. Um, oh yeah, we, I mean, we have to do a classic prediction episode. I feel like that's just, everyone loves that, have two idiots guess of what's gonna happen, like Sure. [00:43:14] Yeah. Did you, I mean, have you picked that? We were going to have just massive blow up after massive blow. Why didn't you let us know, and why are you still here listening to this? Because you should have been out of this already. So, , I, I just, I'm not gonna believe you. If you told me that you knew that was gonna happen, show me the receipts. [00:43:36] should be on the chain. Uh, but yeah, I, I really kind of hope that like 2023 is less bandaid ripping, like just if tethers gonna collapse, just do it already. Like let's just go down, go down. Oh, it's not, that's not the way you, it's not the way that's all. Bandaid are ripped off . Apparently not. I mean, it's supposed to be like that, right? [00:43:59] We are just slowly removing this, you know, as, as is constantly, uh, said in the, the x copy discord with anyone cuz it's just, it's max pain, you know? It's, it's, it's alluding to his max pain and friends that just cannot get back to. To, uh, min mint, you know, and it's, uh, just, well, that's the only, I would say, is this a fair, is this an accurate statement? [00:44:24] Is the only X copy that is below its min price? I, yes. Also, coincidentally, the only X copy that I have ever bought at Min Price. Oh man, Jess, I'm just saying coincidence, maybe. [00:44:39] Yeah, I like my, I I'm very proud to have an next copy. I'm pleased with that thing. Uh, it's, it's, you know, uh, I love the project. I think there's probably still board to come to it. And I still love the references of, man, you know, what is the max pain? That is what we will get. . Oh God. Yeah. Um, all right, well, uh, we'll go out. [00:45:01] I'll have to go hunt. I feel like we did, uh, Our projections about what was gonna happen this year. So we'll go. We talked about some themes and you know, I know, know, gaming was gonna, you like music. I was all about gaming and at that period of time I had like some, like we doing really well with some of the gaming stuff and then, you know, everything imploded. [00:45:21] Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm . We were over the metaverse though, so. We were right. , we were over the Metaverse we're like, this can't go on. Oh yeah. You know's idea of what that was. And man, remember those, those virtual land prices getting up to 20, come on, . I mean, you do more than I do because I think you held a lot more of 'em than I did along the way. [00:45:46] I, no, I mean, I had, I didn't have much, I didn't do blow on these at all. I think. I think you had a sandbox spot at one point, right? And I had That's pretty good. You had the NFT Worlds nfs that I, yeah, I, I, you know, I think I made like 0.3 on that. Sold that at 0.7 when I those got up over 10. I know . Yeah. [00:46:11] Yeah. You know. All right, well, uh, see you out there. Leave a rating reviewed, drop into Discord. Maybe we'll, uh, do some horse trading. Literally. Yeah. Swap your worthless tokens. Help someone else out. . All right, see you out there.
