He highlights that early flood risk assessment can prevent unexpected costs and facilitate better negotiation outcomes.

This week Jess and Caroline sit down to record together live in LA, where they are joined in studio by a very special guest: Alexandra Anele! Alex is a talented makeup artist, content creator, dedicated NFE listener, and Caroline's first YouTube friend – so it was a delight to have her on to share tips and hot takes on all things beauty and personal style. But it's not all makeup and beauty; the crew also ruminates together on if you can have a career in social media without losing your mind. Naturally. Plus, we've got a complaint about packing for trips, a flirty husband whatado, advice on breaking up with your therapist, and what it means to work hard at something and then find out you hate it. Put on your safety goggles and buckle up, because this episode is equal parts science and art, kooks!

Jess and Caroline are just two sporty girls who are too busy collecting baby teeth and committing to unnecessary extracurriculars to keep a busy schedule. But here they gather on a Sunday morning ready to repeat to you exactly what their therapists said this week. First, Jess is thinking about quitting a hobby that no one told her to pick up. Who know that was even possible?! Caroline talks her through it and then offers deeper context and examples on a hard hitting truth shared in last episode: Peace is letting people be wrong about you. The two go back and forth on when and how this can apply, even diving into one of the hardest areas to put this advice into practice: with family. A hot take on imposter syndrome, affirming tarot card reading, and idiotic musings on time zones, middle age, and more round out the episode.

The hater and lover are reunited after a month of doing absolutely nothing besides sending each other bedtime texts. Caroline does have one more thing to show for her break, though: a new sport she's invented. Or at least a concept that will improve the sporting experience for her? The details aren't important. The two move onto bigger topics as Caroline shares a Tony Robbins quote that stirred her into action recently: “the path of least resistance will never make you happy.” She's happily taking on new challenges in her work, while Jess shares a story of turning down a new opportunity in favor of balance and long-term goals. She even references a book (*gasp!*), Radical Candor by Kim Scott, to elucidate her point. They settle on the hard truth that periods of ambition can only exist thanks to periods of rest, and discipline is in the eye of the beholder. Finally, a couple of dating red flags that SEEM fine, until you get a good morning text from a Hinge dude who thinks he should run for president.

In this conversation, Jonathan and DJ discuss the potentially huge opportunity with properties in flood zones. National Flood Experts assists property owners in potentially removing a property from a 100 year FEMA flood zone. This could be a huge value-add, as properties in flood zones can be very difficult to sell. NFE can also assist a property owner to reduce their flood insurance premium.

The mood is malaise as Jess and Caroline mosey into a conversation about platonic male/female friendship that they certainly weren't prepared to tackle. Similarly, Jess wasn't prepared to start vlogging this week, though she definitely tried after feeling so inspired by Caroline's recent YouTube video. The compliments lead to an existential question: What do you wish you were appreciated for more often? Caroline does NOT appreciate gym bros who don't put back their weights. At least she has a new NFE sweatshirt to comfort her. Do y'all want merch? Also have y'all heard of the moon? It apparently is full at the end of every month and also menstruation is hard. Romantic body types don't make sense but lush yin somehow does. Hands can be hot and there are give or take eight different kinds of feet. Just because we know this doesn't mean we want our toes sucked, and oh also Caroline is still haunted but that doesn't mean you need to DM Jess. __ This episode was edited by none other than our prince, Abi Newhouse.

It would be off brand to open with anything other than hair talk, so Caroline gets right to critiquing her new haircut, which is unfortunately more Brooklyn hipster than it is American Girl doll. This triggers memories of eyebrow and leg hair shame from middle and high school, setting the groundwork for the rest of the episode: everything is a lie. Starting with the lies that people tell about romance in their long-term relationships! Jess can't stand it, so she insists on sharing how she and her boyfriend have recently found connection in the mundane, including a story about dumpster diving plus video game foreplay. Meanwhile, Caroline's done keeping her recent fantasies to herself. Being breastfed by a man is nourishing and gender-bending, her boyfriend gets very small and very far sometimes, and most importantly she cannot marry Jess even though it's all scheduled and everything. Marriage is a scam but we like it! Dunkin cold cream is actually whipped cream which is actually cold foam. Claw clips are fertile (even earthen) ground for disagreement. And playing sports in high school is not a personality. Neither are Jess's college a cappella days, but the difference is she'll tell you she's cute - no questions asked. Finally, a game of Super Theoreticals inspires a conversation about avoiding sadness at all costs, only to get horny thinking about Lion King moments later, and that's just what you get on NFE! __ This episode was edited by none other than our prince, Abi Newhouse.

Aconteceu nos dias 18 e 19/07 a Reunião Técnica sobre a NFe e NFCe, onde participam os Fiscos de vários estados, além de empresas que atuam no segmento. Nesta reunião foram abordadas diversas mudanças para estes documentos como por exemplo, a questão do FIM da NFe Assíncrona, questões sobre possibilidade de postergação de mudanças já programadas entre outro temas. Nesta edição do podcast, nosso consultor Italo Giurissato, vai contar um pouco dos principais pontos discutidos na reunião Convidados: Italo Giurissato, Consultor ACBr
A slower week in our lives means a hair appointment becomes content! It's not an episode of NFE if we aren't complimenting someone's hair. Caroline's bangs are refreshed, though her hands are wet and neck is aching. Nothing putting her dangly feet up and chatting with Jess can't fix. The two shift gears and launch into an exploration of what manifestation does (and does not) mean to them. Too often does the internet rely on manifestation as the answer to all things - just announce you're a lucky girl and speak your dreams into reality! While Jess has had some "success" with certain elements of this philosophy, it's so much easier said in retrospect. Privilege and luck are companions to hard work and time in achieving pretty much anything, not to mention Jess's knack for hope and positivity and Caroline's preference for doubt and cynicism. That's right; both can work and have a place. We're a hater and a lover blah blah tropes. That is until dating is the topic at hand, in which case any singular approach falls to the wayside as Caroline and Jess both lose all sense of self and stability. Has anyone figured this out?! How do you trust a charismatic bloke like Harry Styles and how did this conversation so quickly transition into owl pellet nostalgia? In conclusion, a well-answered Hinge prompt is hard to come by. One could say they're seasonally dependent. __ This episode was edited by none other than our prince, Abi Newhouse. __ Share with a friend! Subscribe and rate us on your favorite podcasting app!

This week Caroline and Jess are recording TOGETHER IN THE FLESH, and you'll hear our excitement right away. Yes, we know the sound quality suffered our first time with an in-person setup, but that's why 1) we're constantly saying we're not professionals and 2) our full episodes are posted on YouTube. If you stick around here though, we appreciate you, and we recommend you listen without headphones this week. Take in the chaos while driving or showering or cleaning the house. Force your roommate or partner to listen with you. Or kick out your kids for some solo NFE time. In this one, we take on another round of WHATADOS (our term meaning listener-submitted questions for which we are unqualified to give advice). First, Caroline gets fired up about a relatable listener who wonders if it's wrong to want to look better to impress other people / for the male gaze. Then, Jess opens up about her ongoing plight to overcome trust issues in relationships. We also talk about Jess's first time being recognized in public (ily Grace), Caroline's laser hair removal journey, and an oddly specific ick from Jess. The butt strip is the best thing in the whole wide world, and we are each a very different part of Fridays. __ This episode was edited by none other than our prince, Abi Newhouse. __ Share with a friend!

With Caroline out on vacation, we decide to add a solo episode option to our rotation, as Jess reprises her tried and true format from her Peaking days: Jess Thots. She opens up with a petty complaint to honor her long-lost co-host, then dives into a highly requested topic - finding yourself after moving to a new city. There's no quick hack like there is for creating tiny Ziploc bags, but she cites "fake it til you make it," "give yourself an out," and Google Maps lists as the best tools in her arsenal. She then shares more about her recent experience going solo to her 10th ever John Mayer concert, and talks about how much of a flow she's in now that NFE is a part of her life. A nice lil deep dive into what's been on the lover's mind lately to keep y'all fed for another week. __ Share with a friend! Subscribe and rate us on your favorite podcasting app!

Vieraana Katariina Pitkänen, eli Katsu, joka on kilpaillut body fitnessissä SFU:n/IFBB:n alla. Fitness-urheilun lisäksi Katsu opiskelee oikeustiedettä.Katsu kilpaili viimeksi koko vuoden 2021. Hän piti vuoden 2022 taukoa niin, että puoli vuotta meni vaihdossa USA:ssa ja toinen puoli vuotta siitä palautuessa ja tulevaan valmistautuessa. Seuraavaksi hänellä olisi tavoitteena kilpailla syksyllä 2023 NFE:ssä, Arskassa ja tietysti MM-kisoissa. Sitä seuraavat alustavat ajatukset kilpailemisen suhteen ovatkin sitten melkoisen mielenkiintoisia, ja näistä kuulet tarkemmin painamalla PLAY.Katsun kanssa jutellaan myös opiskelun ja kilpailemisen yhdistämisestä ja lisäksi häneltä kysytään klassikokysymys siitä, että olisiko hän mielummin heikomman tasoinen voittaja kuin viime kerralla lavalla ollessaan vai selkeästi oma paras versionsa ja paljon kehittynyt "häviäjä".Ja nyt voit painaa PLAY.Ota yhteyttä: fitnesskulma.podcast@gmail.comIG: @fitnesskulmapodcast Hosted on Acast.

Its Christmas time yet again, and in true NFE fashion, we do not cover any Christmas movies (but we will play some background tracks that sound kind of like Christmas songs). On this very special episode, Snobby Bobby and Crude Rude Dude fight it out on which is their preferred "least celebrated" John Carpenter "Classic". Sound confusing? No problem Simple Austin will explain it all to you and we might get a visit from another show favorite.

Jess and Caroline are feeling much more at ease in the third installment of NFE...so it's no wonder their conversation moves from hot takes on weddings and showers, to breaking down Caroline's current dating conundrum, to Jess' fascination with stuck porn. Things devolve pretty quickly in this one, and it's exactly the vibe they've been craving these past couple of weeks. This episode is definitely not for everyone - especially the kids in the car with you, and the haus of DeBakey, Winkler, and affiliates. Don't say we didn't warn ya. __ Share with a friend!

The past few years have witnessed the great success of Diffusion models (DMs) in generating high-fidelity samples in generative modeling tasks. A major limitation of the DM is its notoriously slow sampling procedure which normally requires hundreds-to-thousands of time discretization steps of the learned diffusion process to reach the desired accuracy. Our goal is to develop a fast sampling method for DMs with much less number of steps while retaining high sample quality. To this end, we systematically analyze the sampling procedure in DMs and identify key factors that affect the sample quality, among which the method of discretization is most crucial. By carefully examining the learned diffusion process, we propose Diffusion Exponential Integrator Sampler (DEIS). It is based on the Exponential Integrator designed for discretizing ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and leverages a semilinear structure of the learned diffusion process to reduce the discretization error. The proposed method can be applied to any DMs and can generate high-fidelity samples in as few as 10 steps. In our experiments, it takes about 3 minutes on one A6000 GPU to generate 50 k images from CIFAR10. Moreover, by directly using pre-trained DMs, we achieve the state-of-art sampling performance when the number of score function evaluation (NFE) is limited, e.g., 3.37 FID and 9.74 Inception score with only 15 NFEs on CIFAR10. 2022: Qinsheng Zhang, Yongxin Chen https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.13902v3.pdf
Theme: Can we stop saying blue-chip NFT? In the land of equities https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bluechipstock.asp One criteria: Have you survived 1 year or more and lived through a bear market with the same team maybe you are a blue-chip… Affordable project: Bankless DAO: https://www.bankless.community/ Discord shout out: https://opensea.io/collection/avius-animae from JohnnyMac6969. https://medium.com/@johnjannuzzi_89786/avius-animae-is-just-the-beginning-327196677852 NFT NewsRantum NFT Market Data, Cryptoslam.io NFT Headlines: Blue-Chip NFT Collections Hit Harder Than Bitcoin in Crypto Rout Azuki Founder Rugged 3 previous projects. Instagram is Rolling Out NFT Tools This Week, Letting Digital Collectors Clearly Show That They Own an Image Transcript: [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. Can we stop saying blue chip NFT? We'll get into that at first, Andrew, what he's seen in the news? [00:00:10] Well, I think you know, this is maybe alluding to one of the things that I'm seeing in the news because ah, we saw this as Zuki has been. Maybe claim to be a blue chip and Ft who that has taken a big hit. The the founder came out and exposed himself to have been a pro Ben, the founder of three previous projects that, you know, you can debate the, the, how much of rugs they were, but he definitely took a lot of ease and didn't deliver everything. [00:00:42] Deleted socials, maybe impersonated a female persona in a, in a Twitter does account for one of the projects. So all these things, so. That's a Zuki project clearly fell out of the blue chip status quickly. The floor went from over 20 to under 10 fairly quickly. Although I believe it's still holding around 10, somewhat, surprisingly to me, I haven't looked at the last day or so. [00:01:10] But yeah, that's a, that's one that I think is maybe triggering the the title here is I think we've got to look at this. There's no such thing as a blue-chip in NMT because they are an FTS. Pictures, they're JPEGs. They are digital files. And we've only been doing this for how long there's the oldest ones are like six years old. [00:01:31] I mean, like the oldest, oldest, oldest, come on, you know, there's no such thing. We know that there's no value assigned to these are most of the time. So there's no such thing as blue chip. We got to get over that. Right. But that's what we were seeing out there in I don't know, other craziness that we didn't even get to talk about last episode [00:01:50] It was, it was a bombshell that this went off and like, it was like everywhere. And then suddenly it was just, we didn't even mention it last time. Cause it just like, you know, it would have been the entire focus of a whole episode, but you're like, ah, well, so it goes, you know, like what? [00:02:04] Yeah. Do you know what the floor actually is on a Suki now, did you [00:02:07] Yeah, it's a little over 10. I just peaked it. So it's, you know, the community is holding strong, but there's a lot of A lot of negative, a lot of negative pressure there. And also it's just, I can't get behind the impersonation elements. The, you know, I want to be careful because founders are allowed to fail. However, the way you fail is very important in crypto and rugging is just something that's gotta [00:02:31] mean, you could fail, but better disclose what your failures are, disclose your past projects. Say what you're doing now to learn from that. Not after the fact not this was, you know, and I listened to a Twitter spaces that he went on with. Andrew, Wing's a kind of social NFG, social media personality. [00:02:51] And, you know, it was really disappointing because he gave very run-around answers. Wasn't. As much as far as follow-ups and didn't seem to really understand why people were upset with the whole situation. So little unclear to me why he wrote the article. There were some rumors that others knew about this and were kind of forcing him to come out about it or else they were going to meet the news. [00:03:14] So I don't know about the veracity of that, but there's also the, I don't know maybe doing this when when there's. A lot of other negative news, you know, to hopefully have people sort of move on quickly. And I don't know. We'll see what happens here. You know, I'm looking at the sales right now and they are solid. [00:03:31] There's a lot of sales happening. So he is certainly taking in a lot in royalties as these 10 plus eats sales. Just roll in every, a few minutes here. [00:03:41] Yeah, well, it's like as, as they trade hands, he does well on volume. So, you know, okay. You know, not a project that I kind of ever got into around another title and you're going to be seeing, I think a lot of this is the, this from Bloomberg Bloomberg out of blue-chip NFT collections hit harder than Bitcoin in crypto. [00:04:02] And so it's, you know, it's definitely true where you're not down 30% or, you know, under a hundred EAs on board apes and punks have fallen as well. You know? I don't know. What do you see in this? [00:04:14] I mean, it's an attention grabbing headline. I'm not, it doesn't mean a whole lot. I don't know what blue chip means also. I mean, over what period, you know, if we want to say a year ago, Four dates have done pretty well compared to Bitcoin. If we want to go, you know, a week ago, it's different, you know, I mean, that's a sort of how, how it goes. [00:04:35] It really depends what you're measuring. So I don't know. And they're using the term blue chip, which I wouldn't. I [00:04:42] Yeah. that's, the blue and that's the blue chip use, right? That's why I had to include it. I had to include [00:04:46] as that is funny. And you know, they certainly, I don't know if you're going to look at the non Bluetooth. I would say gets a lot worse. [00:04:54] Yeah. Okay. Instagram rolling out and hefty tools this week. I guess it depends on when you're listening to this, but they're letting digital collectors show that they own a image. So there you go. Following the, you know, falling with Instagram what Facebook always does, which is copy and paste, ironically for NFTs in terms of features that Twitter has already rolled out. [00:05:17] So now that. Maybe I, you know what, there's no like, oh, this'll bring in everybody. It is another little sort of minor move of web two to web three that might interest seven people [00:05:29] Yeah, and it's not a real big move. I did notice that they're working with a few different chains, including polygon. I think that's what they were launching on initially. So I think that is interesting. That polygon is being used there. I think we'll see. [00:05:40] I can bring my horses. I can get my horses into play. [00:05:43] Well, yeah, and I think it's good for that, for that layer to start getting used or getting used by bigger, bigger customers that maybe need to roll up more of these transactions. So I think that's good to start seeing them actually realize that that could be a problem later on, rather than just going on a theory of only, and assuming that it will just work. [00:06:05] And I, you know, I don't think that's gonna work for Instagram users when the fee, when they see these. Are insane on the Ethereum network. So going into polygon sounds like the right move and it makes me a little more optimistic of a polygon as well. Not that I haven't been big on polygon to begin with. [00:06:22] Yep. Nah, I'm in long polygon, but been a little painful to be old in the old MADEC token, as of late [00:06:27] Yeah, absolutely. Right. Hey, you [00:06:29] bit. The interesting nuance here, just speaking from my own perspective and what I've, what I've seen is that, like I have an Instagram account. There's no way in the world. [00:06:39] Then I would change my picture to an NFT because I have a different personality there. My web two socials are very, very, very, very different. It's like, there's this like, you know, [00:06:52] nighttime, I'm mostly stable daddy during the day. I have to be a reputable human being and also a dad and also somebody on social who's posting pictures of the kids. [00:07:01] Like I'm not going to put up. You know, I'm joking. I'm not going to post my, my, my horse as my profile pics. So, okay. On the positive side though, I'm a little [00:07:12] Maybe that says more about your NMT collection then. [00:07:15] I've Hey, maybe I can, I'm still trying to get one of these nouns, like that might do it now. It's just, you know, I just don't like the signal unless it's like designed for that, but you're right. [00:07:25] Maybe I [00:07:26] Yeah. Well, I think that's something that we need, you know, that we'll need to be champ or overcome. That is a challenge. If people don't want it at all, they're into it. You know, what is the right way for Instagram to maybe come into this? And I don't know what it is. I don't know. I'm not sure if they're just trying to force their way in here, but you know, if we need people to come in to make this grow, you know, we're going to have to see some other adoption than, than what we have right now. [00:07:49] but the Domino's are there. Right? Because if you look at Oculus and that whole ecosystem, you know, pulling in NFTs is just one step to the left. Now they're beginning to go in that direction of allowing these these entities. And like that starts to get me interested if suddenly I can like bring in my skins or whatnot into, you know, moveable elements. [00:08:09] So we're seeing the beginning of the beginning. Something to be hopeful for, but again, I'm not holding the breath. All right. Any else? Anything else in the headlines before we move? Move into [00:08:19] No, nothing else from me. [00:08:21] Okay. So I have got an affordable project kind of. That's the funny thing is I've been talking about this prior to, you know, everything melting down and I still like it as a play. [00:08:33] The Bankless Dow. So Bankless is, I would say the number one most listened to crypto podcast or for certainly Ethereum based podcasts. They have, you know, guests like. You know, the metallic and they pretty much can get anybody on this. On this podcast. They have a tremendous listenership, a very active discord in the Bankwest stout essentially is by membership. [00:08:57] If you have a 35,000 of the Bankless token, and that then gets you access to you know, their community, their, their alpha, their conversations, and also just a ton of voting and a very impressive network. And so that. You know, it's a token, mind you and everything is a pretty volatile. I don't know if you've noticed, but their play here is coming back to NFTs in their conversation with Kevin Rose, who you remember is behind moon birds. [00:09:28] And their conversation there, they were kind of picking Kevin Rose's brain about, Hey, how would you do an NFT drop if you were us? And his first statement was just like, you've got to reward the people who were there at the beginning, the people who are your original holders and people that are downloaders would be potentially one of those groups. [00:09:47] So this is, as you can see speculation upon speculation, but at the very least, you know, I think you're, you're part of a community that has attention and has loyalty and has. And when we think about things, that'll survive a fire. I know that they are committed to continuing that podcast. They have survived previous bear markets, one of those indicators, and I think they might be around. [00:10:10] So I don't think an NFE is coming anytime soon, but when prices are low might be interesting. What is your hot take on this, Andrew? [00:10:18] I like it take, huh. Now these guys have been around building. They have been wiped out. They were around in 2018 and I listened to their podcast all the time. I think they produce some of the best content, really insightful. They know. The crypto industry. They like, I mean, as well as anybody that can talk about it. [00:10:38] And I really liked that they've been here when nobody was paying attention when they lost everything. When everybody left, if that did happen again, I'm pretty sure they would continue doing the same thing. So that makes me a very I don't know, I'm very bullish on, you know, being part of anything that they will do. [00:10:57] And I think that is a great way to get in just to any project that they may end up doing, you know, who knows what they, what they have planned. They definitely seemed interested in maybe launching something. They've got the bank west Dow, and I know they, they talk about building even more. They built quite a following. [00:11:15] And I think this is, this is worth getting into, if you, you know, if you're, if you believe in the Ethereum system at all, you know, they're going to be here. So I like it. [00:11:26] Awesome. And then I have a quick one from our community, actually. And this is one from Johnny. And this is I'm going to mess up the name of this one, for sure. AVS anime, AVS anime. And that the artist is basically created these generated images, which are very sort of uplifting pro-social and passionately. [00:11:52] They're supporting the LGBTQ. I am community and with part of this and they're you know, they're looking to, they have not disclosed how much they're giving, but they're getting a part of it away. But really, you know, just cool looking images and full disclosure. I don't own any I will say they mint it out. [00:12:12] I believe it. [00:12:12] was 10,000 and there are about 3,400 owners of is in the affordable range of 0.01, three. And they do have a discourse. [00:12:22] Yeah, I really like the art on these they're cool pieces and it sounds like a cool project to be a part of, if you just want to support this. Cause I don't know a ton more about it, but I'm glad someone was able to bring this to us. Thank you, Johnny. [00:12:35] Yeah, they stated that half of the mint profits will be donated. And I don't know about continued sales, but worth worth checking out a unique art. I will say that this is not like sort of, you know, lift and shift from a, another one. Seemingly hand drawn and then sort of again, generated cool stuff. [00:12:52] Thank you. All right. Can we, can we start over? I mean, can We stop saying blue chip? [00:12:59] We may be doing that right now. We may be in the process of that. Although I have a feeling we're just knocking them off one by one. [00:13:06] Yes until there's none left. Okay. So I thought it'd be fun maybe to start with like, you know, in like Bluechip parlance, right? Like when you're talking about blue chip, it was first described as high price stocks in 1926. remember that date, right? When an employee at Dow Jones observed that certain stocks trading at $200 or more per share were like, kind of like a poker chip that of, you know, blue, white, and red, where blue was simply more and, you know, kind of funny that it was coined in a period of time where the 1920s were pretty volatile with regard to stocks, but you know, it really refers to a blue chip. [00:13:47] That has been operation for this a generally a number of years, but you're thinking like Coca-Cola Disney, right? These are companies that have been in the game for 30 plus years. And so you're, you're sort of really thinking about what a company that has survived and up and down market. Maybe multiple times a history of execution has delivered on promises time and time. [00:14:12] Again, you know, has value in the. No, maybe even throws off a dividend. Like there's just, it has very clear characteristics. They're seen as less volatile investments highly liquid, a lot of these words I'm using and not [00:14:27] They don't describe the NFCS [00:14:29] I've been describing. [00:14:30] I mean, I think it'd be hard to, it's hard to even describe that too many stocks. In today's age because things are so volatile compared to them. And, you know, I know that it was quite volatile then, but that the, the day to day volatility and the way that things shift quickly now is, is quite different. [00:14:48] In much faster trading, we didn't have people that could just trade at at their fingertips at any point. So I think the idea that anything could be Bluechip especially. Such a ridiculously volatile and illiquid market, like NFTs is pretty preposterous. Really. [00:15:08] Y it kind of irks me though, is the false sense of stability. I think it imbues on things that just happen to be very expensive. There's a huge difference between something that is very expensive and something that is very. And I think that's like, let that sit for a second. And I get very uncomfortable when, you know, people start, you know, especially with people who maybe can't afford her, it's on the edge of what they can afford. [00:15:37] Start pining. After something that they had imagined would hold their value. You can even look at something like crypto punks, which is, you know, the, the OJI of OGs of, you know, what we look at for NFTs. Do you remember. The company got bought straight up. So that is just a different company now, Right. UGA labs now controls that asset. [00:16:01] And if they want to destroy, demolish change, whatever that brand, they can sure you own the asset. But I'm looking at these as like small companies that are running to drive the attention and value and utility. Of these assets and I, I, I don't think there's a single project. I could point to that even fits the following very base criteria, having survived a year or more, and also have lived through a bear market and crypto with the same team. There you go. If you, if you can check those boxes for me, go ahead and call it a blue chip. I'll give you a second. [00:16:42] Right. Yeah. We've definitely had an issue of people, conflating price with blue chip and we see over and over that high prices leave a long way to fall. And we're seeing, I mean, we are seeing them kind of be taken down and right now, you know, I guess people are still considering board apes and maybe punks. [00:17:01] Although, you know, you've got to think that punks over. We'll never be able to to challenge board apes as a brand in any way. I mean, they're owned by the same company that clearly wants board apes to be the king there. And, you know, they should, it would be wrong for them to let another brand challenge that, but, you know, what are the, what are the more tried and true brands? [00:17:24] There aren't any you know, larger labs probably had the longest Longest record, but I think they've done a lot to sort of tarnish their reputation and they've let go of the brand anyway. You know, I don't know that I, I'm not sure that, I mean, I certainly would not put board aids in a blue chip or even the team and the blue chip category at this point. [00:17:44] We've got to see, they've got a lot to prove. And at this point, the other side minting is you know, not looking great interns. How the energy market has fared since then. [00:17:56] Yeah. And just a week ago, had we been marching through the blue chips? We would have been a mentioning Zuki. [00:18:04] Exactly. Yeah. Zuki. I think the others that have been up there, I don't know, maybe a Clonex the, what have we had? And we've had a cool cats were up there at one point. I mean, right. Artifact. I mean, maybe because of the, you know, there's all these, all these. Priced are these, you know, these big collections that are priced high that are considered blue-chip. [00:18:26] And, you know, I think if people, especially when the price is, I want them to be blue-chip because you don't want to think that your 20 EPS could all of a sudden be worth for Eve and you know, the truth is that it can happen and we've seen, and we've seen what happens in when people run to get liquidity exchange, certain tokens for what they think it's worth. [00:18:48] And that there's not quite as much liquidity there as it was. As they believe, and it changes the value pretty quickly. And that can happen with your NFTs as well. [00:18:58] And, and in short order, because the market for the other side can, can vanish very, very quickly. All right. So again, I say it here, like if you've survived over a year and you've lived through a bear market, so it's like has to be over a year because bear markets come and go. With the same team, maybe you are a blue chip. [00:19:16] So right now there are no blue chips be very careful. And that's why we always like to make affordable small bets on what's. What's out there.
Theme: If we build it, will they come? Top collections surge, while most collections move sideways/down Active NFT wallets have fallen, despite new platforms, tools, apps Long-awaited Coinbase NFT Marketplace has not brought new users Building and investment continues in NFT platforms, tools, etc Affordable project: Bankless DAO (35k BANK needed for membership - Bankless DAO price, BANK chart, and market cap | CoinGecko ) NFT NewsRantum NFT Market Data, Cryptoslam.io NFT Headlines: OpenSea Acquires Gem to Invest in 'Pro' Experience Genie NFT Marketplace Aggregator Teases A $GENIE Token or Coin Coinbase's NFT Marketplace Gains Less Than 150 Users in First Day Open to Public NFT Marketplace Zora Raises $50M In Seed Funding Meet the Dune wizards: The college students, VCs and crypto rebels wrangling on-chain data to help people make sense of the Web 3.0 world. Here's how they got started — and what it takes to secure paid contracts Nike's NFT Sneakers for the Metaverse Are Selling for $8K - CNET Transcript [00:00:00] The day on all about affordable NFTs. If we build it, they will come question mark. And I think you kind of know when you're asking, unless it is a field of dreams that is dropping an NFT in your wallet with ghosts baseball players, you might have to work a little harder to avoid that, that, that dreaded sideways motion of your NFT not taking off, but that's our theme. [00:00:23] What's the news. [00:00:24] Oh, great. Yeah. Talk NFTs again, George. Good to talk here. I am pulling up my notes. As you made able to tell the, where did I see of tabs? I got them here. [00:00:40] I have open C acquires gem to invest in pro experience. So. [00:00:46] Yeah, I thought that this was a good move by open C Jim dot X, Y, Z. We've talked about this one a little bit. It's similar to genie. You can buy multiple NFTs at once. And we'll also accurate from multiple sources. Although I think it's primarily just taking everything from. Right now, maybe some looks where it may also not be taking any from other platforms soon, but I think this is good to a good feature, to be able to. [00:01:14] Offer offer people looking for a bigger traders that aren't less looking to just buy maybe one or two pieces at a time. They're really trying to move significant amount of money around and want to maybe buy 30 of you know, 30 of a collection at one time or more. So I think it's E it gives them it gives them a lot more tools here. [00:01:36] I think the other nice thing for them is sort of stops this aggregator from. Potentially becoming a competitor at some point. We've seen how aggravators can grow quite large and open. See, just just acquire one of the, the biggest one right now. Although we'll see how the market reacts. Genie, as we've got here is going to be releasing a token of their own. [00:02:00] They vowed to stay independent. He has said that he, the founder said that. Ben a pre was approached by open sea as well, and refuted their offer so wants to stay independent and actually be able to work with multiple marketplaces. So we'll see. If that, you know, which model work, it turns out to be more successful here. [00:02:20] I think it's a good move by open. See, I am a little surprised that Jim had decided to sell there. I think it is, it's good that we've got one that will stay independent and be able to actually work as a real accurate. [00:02:32] Yeah, this pro experience and certainly for Wales looking to like, look at a market and buy up like a certain type of rarity of a project and be able to do multiple things. It makes a lot of sense, but I gotta be honest in, in the future where NFTs are lift listed on separate platforms. Be it, you know, referable looks rare, coin Bates, NFT. [00:02:56] Like you're going to need to see a holistic view and bid across platforms to find where the opportunities are. So I, you know, I get it as a, as a feature, but the real feature is being able to look across platforms. And if you're not allowing that, then I'm kind of confused. [00:03:09] Yeah, I think, yeah, I think that the cross-platform functionality will do big benefit to Jeannie in the long run on here. And actually. You mentioned Coinbase marketplace that has opened to the public has not seen a lot of action quite yet. I got the email that it is open. It was I dunno, I guess I was kind of expecting a little bit more of an event with that, or a little bit more of an announcement, something going on. [00:03:35] It not surprisingly has not seen a lot of a lot of transactions because there wasn't, I don't know. There wasn't much to get people there. [00:03:43] The headline here is on its first day. The market floor has opened up and saw less than 150. I'm not missing a thousand. I'm not listening a million. No, no, no. A hundred and one five, zero, no other. [00:03:57] million people on their list. [00:03:59] 150 new users sign up for its platform. According to analytics. [00:04:05] You know, I've been, I've been unimpressed with some of the, the usage of the looks rare platform. It, because it's so incentivized. And that it's mostly washed rating. However, They've at least tried to incentivize people to get there. I'm not sure what, what the impetus is for anybody to go use the claim basin Ft marketplaces right now, besides it being on Coinbase. [00:04:30] I dunno. It's not proven. It's not great. I thought this was actually going to be in beta for a lot longer. Was surprised to see that they announced it that quickly. And without any apparent fair, fair fanfare. [00:04:42] I my heart hurts so much because I like, I mean, you've heard us talk about this. I have looked forward to this kind of like moment where a bunch of people will be like onboarded and brought on. And it's just such a reminder that like, you just can't bet on the. bet on the roadmap. You can't bet on this like high expectation of a thing, but this is gotta be below all manner of expectation. [00:05:03] You know, I've, you know, I've had blog posts do better in a single day than this. This is not a, this is not an acceptable thing. You know, and obviously this stock took a massive tumble as a result of, of, you know, I guess a number of things, the general market, but also on this, and it's down like 30% over the past month. [00:05:22] But coming back to what I think they could have, I thought was going to happen here is that you already had users using the app and they were clicking in a single experience. They've just created a new destination or you have to go through and upload had they tied it into. The actual app and that experience and bringing those things together, like, oh, there you go. [00:05:41] But instead they, you know, similar to like Facebook trying to compete with, you know, Instagram, they, you know, didn't end up being able to achieve that. And then he just bought it. They bought the whole software and brought those users in there. But if you're trying to create a whole new marketplace from scratch, simply because you have a branded name, like it's going to take more to your point than that. So Ouch in [00:06:06] So I don't think there's going to be the catalyst that brings the next wave in which maybe we'll have to discuss a little bit more here. [00:06:13] I think, I think we have spilled enough ink and words over the expectation associated with the Coinbase entity marketplace. And just going back to the episode, we just had valuing the product versus the promise. And I think we overvalued the promise a little bit, just a little. [00:06:30] yeah, yeah. All right next. We've got that. Let's see. Another marketplace raised 50 million in seed funding. I think this just kind of goes along with what we keep saying. There's going to be more marketplaces. They keep raising more money. It's not necessarily a single marketplace world. So there's that one this next bit is a bit of a self promotion. [00:06:52] There's, there's a dune or a, I'm sorry, a, a, an article in business insider, et cetera. Dot com on dune analytics wizards. I was included in that, that article. So I've included that link. I think you should definitely go read it or at least you know, try to, if you weren't a wold from it, but there's a lot, [00:07:12] quote. What did you, what did you quote in here? [00:07:14] Yeah. Oh, it is paywall bone. Sorry. I thought there was a way to, to preview it initially anyway. Yeah. What. So, yeah, they, they were asking me about about how I got into blockchain analytics. What were, you know, what is could be discovered there, you know, and that, you know, I'd let them know a little bit how I got into it initially, which was prime will actually do looking into social tokens initially. [00:07:36] Was doing some, some dashboards for some bounty work and then got really into dune and let them know, you know, how I how much I like looking into it, because it tells you so much more than what you see on these surface level numbers. You know, we know that there is a lot of there are a lot of numbers that aren't quite what they seem in in NFTs. [00:07:54] So I, I, I really like looking into the. Trying to look at who the wallets are and look at the, the, where those, where funds are moving around a bit, trying to looking at those things, but also look at look at where big collectors are, are maybe moving into next, see what's going on there. So A lot of different ways you can use this stuff, but it's I was, I was happy part of that. [00:08:19] And I am bullies looking more into those, those blockchain analytics. So fun to be part of that. [00:08:27] Yeah. it's pretty cool. To be in a, an article in business insider with the title of meet the read the wizards of of dune and certainly your work there, it's like, you just constantly hear it. Like, Hey. The dashboard for this. And it's, you know, part of that, that open stuff. And we'll have the link in the show notes. [00:08:45] And of course your NFT marketplace, data links super helpful for understanding what's going on. Cool. Very cool. I'd be a little worried though, every now and then someone wants to talk to me about like the NFTs and my wallet. I'm like, ah, did you docs yourself in that? [00:08:59] Yeah. [00:09:01] Oh, he's out there. [00:09:03] Yup. Yup, yup. Yeah. Yeah. There's, you know, it's out there. If you look hard, you know, and I'd say even this this, I, you can put it all together. Right? [00:09:12] Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. Congrats. Super cool. Well, maybe I'll have to get some new kicks, some new Medicare. [00:09:23] Oh, God. Nice segue into the Nike NFT crypto kits. Yeah, for, for A mere $130,000. You too can have digital sneakers. [00:09:35] A wait that's, that's the premium stuff, you know, but the floor, I think, is down much lower than that, but they, they do look cool. So they, there is a, these came out of the artifact company. This has been part of, let's see, it was part of the artifact. I can't remember the name of the original NMT, but then they had Sorry. [00:09:55] They had a box that came out of the monolith box that was given to the holders. So then the monolith box was opened and it had these, these crypto kicks along with a vial, the vial, axes, and skin for the for the sneakers. So there's different rarities of those vials to, you know, different look they've hinted that there'll be able to change. [00:10:15] There'll be more changes to these with, with, with what's coming in the future, on the roadmap, you know but you'll be able to actually make these sort of one-on-one sneakers and be able to print these artifact has done something like that in the past. They did that for punk holders. About a year ago, gave them an option to do a, the one-on-one speaker. [00:10:34] Each one was actually unique to the punk itself. So I think that's probably where this is going in at some stage in the future. I think there's going to be potential for merging different ones for trying different ways to customize and make it unique. Artifact has definitely one of the leading companies here and I think it's cool to see them actually put that Nike the Nike logo and see that in the in the digital version here. [00:11:01] Yeah, and it looks like there's like 10,000 items, but they said there's 20,000 total and the floor price is hovering around 1.5 as of right now. So kind of cooling off [00:11:13] a vial. Of course. So, [00:11:15] oh yeah. Okay. [00:11:16] you gotta get a vile to have any, you know, to make them look like anything. So yeah, they have cooled down a bit, but Nike. There are certainly a lot of Nike collectors out there. So we'll see if maybe some of those sneaker heads move over into NFTs. I've know that plenty of them have already. [00:11:32] I'm not, [00:11:33] Yeah, it takes up less closet space. So, yes. [00:11:35] That's right. You can have a [00:11:37] I dunno. Might be one to watch. Like if, if, if it gets quiet, like I think there's something to be said for the. The first Nike shoe drop and the sneaker head and memorabilia. I, I wouldn't go, I wouldn't attack it at this price. [00:11:49] No, not in this environment at that price either, but I think there is maybe an entry point that that makes sense there. Because I think artifact is a, is going to be pretty, I don't know, a big company. Fashion NFT space and fashion being that the way that Nike is fashion. And so I think, you know, being able to add Nike's anymore, just that swoosh is a huge, a huge benefit, but also the, the the collector base that comes along with Nike. [00:12:17] I think that that could be very beneficial over time. [00:12:20] I just put it on my watch list. So if it gets, gets us somewhere interesting, better believable, bring it to the project. All right. If we build it, they will come top collections, surging, but let's just be honest. Most collections. When you say most like 99% of projects, sideways or down. [00:12:38] Yeah. And I, I said sideways, you know, it's tough to say, you know, day to day exactly what it is, but you know, if they're not moving up anyway and they're, they're, they're, they're moving not much. And that's what we're seeing. I think in, you know, more recently we've seen some downward price movement and maybe that's even across the board for the law for a long time, we saw that the games were primarily in those board apes mute Napes You know, I'd say in a Zuki, we've seen him run in the doodles recently, but really everything else needs sort of mid-market the affordable NFTs or even not so affordable NFTs those next year. [00:13:18] If it had, there's not a lot, not a lot happening there. And, you know, despite this sort of these record volume days, it's not spilling over to, to lower volume projects or lower priced projects. [00:13:31] I feel that's because some of these large mega drops launch projects of moon birds, and the other side, you go lab stuff and they just sucking all the oxygen out. Like, look, there's a handful of users, right. We pegged it at there's like under a million there's 350,000 active wallets, depending on what you're looking. [00:13:52] It's only so much, frankly, ease that people have running around with. And if you're dropping it all into these projects. [00:14:00] and sucking it out, is it like at a certain point you've milked the cow too much, like what's going on. [00:14:05] I think it's some of that. I think it's also that you see some of these, that the best projects, the best collections launching. More collections, printing more, you know, making more NFTs available. And while they, while they initially released with a, you know, a 10 K hard cap or, or maybe even smaller, you know, they've realized that, well, we could just make a second collection and that second collection may have twice as many. [00:14:32] And we're seeing that oftentimes that second collection has a lot more a lot more pieces. So it's getting a lot more people and ability to get in at a lower price that becomes. You know, an alternative to maybe the, instead of getting the second or third or fifth best project of, of that category. [00:14:50] You know, maybe if it's you know, some sort of a race car play to earn thing. I, you know, when you want, you can instead just look at the best one. I'm not a, it's not a real world example, but instead of looking at, you know, looking at the, you know, 17th best PFP project that is basically following the roadmap of. [00:15:08] Of, of merge of eventually we'll have a metaverse we'll do another PFP drop. They're just doing the same thing that the biggest ones are doing. I think you're going to see people just move. Try to move up a little bit by being in, by, by being in a related collection to the best projects. Instead of being with the competing project that probably isn't going to be able to overtake those leading collections. [00:15:33] So, And your active NFE wallets have fallen despite new platforms. And so [00:15:41] yeah, I shouldn't say as a new active wallets is more, I knew. Yeah. Not onboarding as the pace of onboarding has slowed. [00:15:51] Yeah. And we just talk about that with the long awaited Coinbase, NFT, we talked about it so many times there's 4 million people on a wait list. Like that had to mean something, but actually. Maybe you come back around and say like, let's just people clicking buttons on, you know, on the Coinbase app. And you're like, yeah, sure. [00:16:05] I'll join a wait list, click click, fine. But it's not really customer acquisition in the way that we thought it would be because those customers, if they want it NFS probably already want to gone and did it, but it wasn't the that smooth transition that, that we were hoping for. It just, Hey, you know, it just, it really took some wind out of the sales and this is going to be. [00:16:25] This is going to be a very careful time for ed say, throwing money around on an is like, continue to do it, but I'm being very, very judicious on it. There's no sort of like, there's no longer this, and then that's going to happen moment. I think this is just grind, slow and steady over time. [00:16:42] Yeah. And I think this is where we're actually going to see a lot of projects die. A lot of these, these projects are not going to make it. People are going to become less interested. Maybe it's part of that, that, you know, oh, the realization of, oh, this is actually what we're building and people realizing, well, you know, that's what it is. [00:17:01] I'm not, that's not what, I'm what I actually came for. You know, there's going to be some of that. That could be some of the sort of consolidation that we see here getting rid of a lot of the extra. And hopefully we will see some, some big winners that, that do come out. But yeah, I think you're right in being wary of of buying new NFTs right now. [00:17:20] Yeah, that's it. I'm I'm now I have a, an investment thesis that like kind of, you know, continue to evolve and share here, but there are still like, you know, opportunities. That then get presented under priced assets, especially when enough people get bearish and enough people are looking the wrong way, right When everyone's looking at the shiny object over here, that means there's a whole world over on the other side. And then you can evaluate the, you know, going back to our previous episode, the value of the actual product, as it sits as a piece of art or as a game token piece in a stable game, or however you look at that versus promises, cause like most of the promises dry up, you can then maybe assess that and say like, Hey, what will the next phase. [00:18:00] It's not going away. It's going to go through cycles. Those cycles are going to be faster. But the other issue I see is a little bit that I, you know, I used to play poker online and in the early days it was pretty easy to win money because the players weren't good when you're playing against uninformed markets and people you can do disproportionately well, But when you start to play against people that know their stuff, you, the edge gets taken away. [00:18:29] I'm feeling like maybe that might be happening in a, in a tighter market where you don't have that many new people coming in with new ease. Not that like we're competing against each other, but if you're playing the like value and slip game, like as the market gets tighter and smarter, like projects that are full of. [00:18:44] That, you know, if they build it, they assume they will come because there's just general users being ready to throw around things and not do due diligence and not care about the team and not sort of check what's going on. Like you just have to be more and more buttoned up. So if you build it, they won't come. [00:18:57] You're playing in a game with much more sophisticated players. As of right now. [00:19:02] there's not 4 million suddenly new wallets that came from Coinbase. So that means, you know you got to step up your game when you're playing with better. [00:19:09] Yeah. Yeah. I think the market has definitely changed. People are more knowledgeable, there's more tools available. And when the the rate of new people coming in slowly. It's a, it's a bigger problem. [00:19:23] Yeah. So if you build it, they will not come where we're here. So we're, we're trading around our. images with each other. I do think there's value. I am ever optimistic, but I'm just going to figure out what the, what the next play is. All right. Andrew. Thanks for bringing this to us. [00:19:37] All right.

How big is the NFT market? The answer 47. No, [00:00:09] that's not exactly. I think the spot on. Yeah. Good to talk to again, George. [00:00:16] Yeah. So we're going to cover some news. We're going to cover some projects. We'll probably remember to do all of those things inside of here, but just to start, we've got little oh, here, the us government connects North Korea hacking group with last month, 600 million Ronan exploit. [00:00:34] As you remember, Ronin is the the currency under lying, the Axiom infinity game along with SLP, which is the earned revenue. There was a problem in there where frankly, they got us for all of their ethos that people were holding. They're going to be made whole because there's a lot of money floating around. [00:00:54] So I don't know if there's anything else on this interesting North Korea. Yeah. [00:00:57] There had been some rumors that it was probably a state actor around the time, just because there was so little information coming out about it. And 600 million is kind of a large number to not, to have a lot more discussion around. [00:01:11] So not too surprising if if you had kind of read some of that, the Lazarus group they'd been known crypto hackers in the past. So. You know, interesting. There's about 450 million tied to one address specifically unclear where the other, I don't know, 150 million or so is all right. Well, anyway, let's see, we've got the next bit of news here. [00:01:35] We've got news of Coinbase NFTs. Cool. It sounds like Coinbase in a P is coming out. Right, George, [00:01:41] stop it. You're you keep teasing me with this and I'm done. I'm done with it. It's never going to happen. Not going to. Never gonna make it. [00:01:49] So they've got a three-part. Film series coming out with the board API club. [00:01:54] They did, they announced this didn't seem to be huge news in the board. Ape world is bigger news in the Coinbase world. Interestingly in quick days, it did slip in there that their NFT marketplace is coming very, very soon. So, you know, they have a different scale than some of us. But you know, maybe that who knows what that means, but they are, they're at least finding a way to put themselves in the conversation with board apes at this point. [00:02:23] Yeah. I mean, they've got the wallet app, which I think is actually much bigger than folks realize because it's tied to the mobile. And it's tied to your ability, frankly, one of the best and easiest on-ramps for turn and Fiat into crypto at, at low costs and low friction. And you know, even knowing what I know, I still use the Coinbase to my private wallet, you know, conveyor belt. [00:02:51] What do you use actually to get your, to get Fiat's or are you just no longer. Moving stuff that way [00:02:58] yet. I haven't done that in awhile. Move Fiat to crypto. Got a, got a good, a good amount of crypto at this point and move around and crypto much more often. But that is a good point though, that, that they do have that wallet. [00:03:13] And they do have a very long pave and see that you've just made a note. They have a very long waiting list for their NFT marketplace and heard it's as big as 4 million people at this point. So you know, they, and the Coinbase NFT marketplace, I believe it will. Some point, you know, it is becoming a running joke around you know, around the NFG world of, because it has been such a long time and especially as fast as things move in in crypto world. [00:03:45] Yeah. Well, I I'm not holding my breath and I'm moving, I'm moving on from, from hopes to sort of make making other other plans. When it comes, hopefully it'll move the market because that's a lot of people that enter into it. Once you get an idea of how big the NFT market is and isn't we'll get into that a little bit more later on in the episode. [00:04:07] Next step, next story we've got here. We've got Lego coming into the metaverse. They've partnered with epic games and they are looking to make a child friendly. Metaverse you know, so I think this will be more in line with I'm not sure if it, it roadblocks or The other one craft Minecraft. [00:04:29] That's actually the one that I'm more familiar with, they know, but there, and I think from what I know, a Minecraft is much more actually kid safe than roadblocks is as a platform. So I'm sure they see that and see an opportunity. They're so interesting that they are getting into this Lego. [00:04:46] Does, you know, it seems like it would work with a lot of the the Minecraft style of building with blocks. They could use. You know, use a Lego like block to, to build in the world and partnering with epic certainly gives them a, a big leg up again, getting started here. [00:05:05] Yeah. Well, we'll see you know, talking about this next generation of just fully normalized to ownership and creation in on online ecosystems. [00:05:16] I actually liked that partnership. I like that. Groups like that, getting together as opposed to saying like, yeah, let's trust mark Zuckerberg with our, with our kids in the metaverse, which is not the first line I'd maybe go for and in, in my bed. [00:05:30] Yeah, absolutely. You know, I do think that like has has a good reputation and we'll work to uphold that you know, with a metaverse that is actually safe for kids. [00:05:43] Yeah. I mean, in epic games, obviously that's the creator behind 14. Which, you know, say what you will like it's guns and whatnot, but they have really brought the multiplayer battle Royales to the foreground. And also I respect the heck out of that massive donation in aid to Ukraine the other month, like totally, I think it was over 80 million. [00:06:02] So hats off and respect. They know how to manage youth in an ecosystem on. [00:06:08] Absolutely. All right. One more news item here. We've got another company entering the metaverse and other, a fashion apparel company under armor. This time I, a gear I'd say, but a Nike Adidas. And now under armor, all very active or sorry, Nike. [00:06:28] Adidas are already very active in NFTs and the metaverse and now we're seeing under armor also getting into the space. So, you know, as we've been saying, you know, I think this is just going to become, every company has some sort of metaverse play at some point and it won't be such news, but you know, at this point we're still, you know, I think it is still somewhat headline grabbing when when these companies do make plans [00:06:51] yeah. [00:06:52] In this Tweet. And here the Nike recently now 6.7 million Robox roadblocks players had visited the virtual Nike land store talking about attention. And you're talking about attention in these digital ecosystems. So brands are definitely waking up cause they realize where the next generation of consumers are spending time and might be making. [00:07:15] All right. Well, let's move on to our affordable project. George, you've got another one for us today. And what do you have? [00:07:23] So for change, it's not soccer. How about that? [00:07:28] Well, wait, so it's gotta be a stable, stable base game, right? [00:07:33] Kind of, but no, not even as the Lindsay's. I've been watching and you've probably heard this before. [00:07:39] Alluvium for, for awhile. It's kinda like then in, you know, I got a lot of stuff on the site in the side view Ramir but essentially, you know, I can dedicate like many, many hours to the lore of what's being built around Eluvia, but they have technically not launched as a full game. They are going to be a think of it as what the next. [00:08:00] Brand of Pokemon will be in the metaverse and that's most exciting implementation. And they've got a tremendous discord. Right now they don't have anything in the NFTE land that frankly I would be getting into, but they do have a token and it's that sort of dangerous game of token defense. The the game, but you know, right now, just looking at the overall just size internally, they've got I believe something like, you know, 42,000 folks on YouTube, 290,000 on Twitter, and then what they called survivors 190, 4,000 in there. [00:08:42] So they've been under development for a while now, the sort of reason I'm bringing it up now they've got Eluvia island, V I L V. Total. And, you know, you, you can look at the price and move around, but I think the play right now is to potentially look at getting in at whatever your size is for some of that Eluvia token. [00:09:02] Cause they have just launched they're staking V2. And so they're staking V2. Earn yield on that, but also sort of, kind of be ready once. Once the play starts watching and they've got a, a game launcher that's going to come, it's gonna be a desktop downloader, and they've got some amazing graphics and art here. [00:09:22] They have a fully doxed team. And they've just, they've been building for a very long time. Look the risks of this, as I've said before, like, you know, when game and you're sort of play this game of like waiting and. But I'll tell you a good time to get in. It's like a team that can execute and finally does launch will, and they do sort of hit part of this, like be able to capitalize on a community, ready to go and look, there's going to be the next Pokemon, the next branded, catch them, breed them, interact in this multi game world. [00:09:55] They've got all of the game dynamics really planned out and it's. There's going to be a winner. I don't know if it's this one or not, but it's something that I'm kind of watching the side. What do you see about alluvium from, from where? See. [00:10:07] So I've heard this one talked about a lot and you know, I think he gets, I don't know if it's getting a lot of attention, but it's certainly getting mentioned in a lot of NFT circles looking they're looking ahead to what's coming. [00:10:21] I, like you said, there's not a ton there for NFTs at this point. So it is kind of playing on the future. That being said, I think it is somewhat overlooked at this point. And you know, if they are able to. You know, to, to make this work, even if it's, you know, I think you have to be, you have to be wary that any of these games are going to run into the same problems as, as we've seen over and over that, they're going to go through a, a good cycle and then maybe run into problems. [00:10:50] But I think. If you're aware of that cycle, there is an opportunity here. You know, it would be, I would, if the price does increase by a lot, I would definitely look to maybe at least a move you know, move the original investment out and, you know, then if you are looking to hold long-term you know, that would be the way that. [00:11:13] Would look to play this kind of one. [00:11:16] Yeah. And they've got some tremendous marketing goals, such as like Guinness book record for largest pot for a game played, but they've got the sign up for the auto Bandler private beta right now. But there's sort of testing and getting an idea of what's going on. [00:11:31] So it may be a period of time where the price is low interest is kind of at a, at a point that might make sense to test it out and take a look to see if this might. Something that that takes hold, but obviously, yeah, like there's nothing better than playing with the house's money kind of building on that. [00:11:48] I had some other updates that I wanted to throw out there of past projects. One, the red village, they are running active tournaments and I have been playing in them. I've been winning with some of them. I've got a nice guy. He's got like a 50% win rate. He's a little drunk. It was an R for my R one is not performing very well. [00:12:07] Mary wind Claus, just saying interesting. I don't know. She's she's just not achieving like, like prior, so I got a Druid doing it and it's actually, you know, it's, I'm, I'm, I'm really excited for them because I feel like I've watched their sort of story unfold for a number of months. But it's, it's That's actually working. [00:12:24] It's actually fun. The other one is Pegasi back to stables. He knew I was going to, I didn't talk about soccer stables. So here we go. I guess they have a super fascinating burn mechanics. So this has been the wildest ride. I think I've ever been on for. Peak value and then peak crash. Like it was so aggressive because of the, [00:12:49] and you own dose. [00:12:51] So I think that's really saying something [00:12:53] I've written some waves I've written. Yeah. And I owned a fish. So that's thanks for disclosing. That's great. Sorry, [00:13:02] is that a, was that not? [00:13:03] I at least I at least took my initial. I follow my own rule. Take the initial investment outside. I did something smart there, but there's a different universe where I made a lot more money, but I still believe in dovish. [00:13:14] I'm a. Anyway what happened with Pegasi is they sort of ran up in the price for the, the base currency and then which is called biz. If you want to track it and you can kind of look at a story and it was like crash. So it was up at like 25 cents. And then I was like down at like 0.04 cents. [00:13:34] So pretty, pretty epic bottom falling out, which is just the nature of play to earn games that expand and breeding. Right? If the breeding is increased, you can see it every single time that effectively there's no other side of the market and re reason to keep it. What they have done is reasonably rollout and they did this on April 14th. [00:13:53] So it's been a little while. So it'd be interesting to take a look at where the market is, have created a burn mechanic for general Pega. So the base peg is. The Pacers that you have to burn to and admins to get a epic and to get a rare, to get a legendary. So they have this sort of, you have to burn more, to get more into a higher tier. [00:14:12] That'll let you earn more. So they've actually sort of rearchitected the whole way that the token will be earned and it sort of is going to neutralize this like massive breeding problem that happened where the proliferation of. Very low tier horse. Peggy's got introduced into the market, so I'm optimistic and it might be interesting if you kind of heard me talking about it and take a look at like this inflection point where things are at the Flory, Flory, McPherson, and seeing what's going on there. [00:14:43] And one of the tactics might be I'm looking at. Looking at undervalued founding. So, you know, remember the don't buy what you can breed founding and, or potentially the the legendary, which are now are of higher value because they can earn a heck of a lot more than the other ones. So I'm very curious, it's a team that develops and does stuff, but you know, nothing, nothing like seeing dynamics play out right in your backyard and saying hope that works. [00:15:11] All right, Andrew, how big is the NFT market go? [00:15:17] All right. Well, not very, I would say overall, there we go. Seven. Okay. Oh good. Todd. You know, this was something that I've, I dunno, it came up. It came up recently when I was looking at I guess it was on Twitter and someone was talking about how they're at an NFT event and asking others if they knew how many active users were on, on open sea. [00:15:40] And, you know, at this point, you know, everybody seemed to be way off and, you know, there's about 500,000 active monthly users on an open seat. And to put that in some perspective, Instagram has 400 and 545 million monthly active users discord as 121 million. So when you think about the fact that, you know, every NFT project seems to have a discourse. [00:16:06] Yeah at most you know, maybe there could even be double if people aren't actively trading, but even if there's a million NFT holder using discord, there, it means there's another 120 million using discord that aren't NFT that they're, aren't using open C on a monthly basis. So this is, you know, it really puts it in perspective how few people. [00:16:25] Actively trading NFTs on a monthly basis. And I think that's, it's really important to consider here. You know, there's a lot of talk like, is it over? Is it I shouldn't say a lot of times there's always discussion of, you know, with new, with new technologies of whether, you know, the bubble has been burst, whether, you know, it's, it's all over, whether it was just a fad. [00:16:44] And I think, you know, when you looked at this, we're seeing that the numbers are growing, but it's still. It's still quite small. You know, at 500,000 users we're talking about, you know, more like a, you know, a relatively successful iPhone app or mobile app of some sort you know, that's, that's what the numbers are at this point. [00:17:05] And granted, you know, Things that have, you know, you have to actually be spending to be an active user, but that's, you know, that's, that's not that hard. Once people get into the crypto the crypto crypto world and have their wallet ready to, to move some crypto around and into NFTs. [00:17:25] Yeah. Something like the total active. [00:17:28] So you're, I think you're, you're right to look at like monthly active, cause there's like people that maybe got dropped one thing and then like left it alone and like ran away. But it's like anywhere from a million to 1.4 million, but in terms of active wallets, it is so, so small that, yeah, like when we were talking about how like, yeah, the liquidity could be pulled out by one project, because by the way, there's, there's only half a million of us running around with E doing this sort of thing, which you know, is a good reminder that this is still very, very new in terms of an adopted technical. [00:18:04] But yeah, there's definitely hype. There's definitely gonna be pullbacks, but I get to say, like, when I hear from, you know, different people in various podcasts and interviews of like how, when they first realized that this is the ownership layer of the web and how excited they got and how they found these communities, it is a type of excitement that I just don't see, like going away. [00:18:28] So it's very sticky for the people that get into it and enjoy it. And it kind of like pulls people in, in the same way. I'd say that like it's apt to compare it to a social media platform where it is it's an experience is improved by the, the you know, end of number of nodes in it, right. Extra people in it create extra value. [00:18:53] And it accrues in that way. In the same way, I think is true for a lot of these discords and NFT. So there is a, a virality, a K factor here that is positive and seems to be trending up. Though they're going to certainly be dips along the way, but you know, it's hard to argue like the run-up that you saw in 2021, continuing, but I think it can easily be done when you look at again, 3.7 now 4 million, like people on a waiting list. [00:19:22] On, you know, [00:19:25] the thing I said, the waiting list, the waiting list is now about eight times the size of the number of monthly active users on open. See, that's, that's, that's a lot of people that are waiting to that. And if half of [00:19:37] them fall into a coma and say, I don't feel like it, that's still four times the amount of monthly active you four times the amount. [00:19:47] Not necessarily maybe liquidity, but certainly individual purchasing, which gives me more hope for some of those longer tail projects. Right? If the folks that were interested in buying the, like the top tens, like, oh, I've got to get my Zuki. I have to get my board ape. Like they would have already done it. [00:20:05] I think this is much more about the retail interest of getting into entities in a safe, vetted way. That is not the wild west of openings. [00:20:13] Yeah. I mean, I think there is, I mean, I think there are a lot of people that will actually end up on open C after trying out maybe Coinbase and empty, you know, we've seen this happen in the past that you know, it can lead people to to other platforms. [00:20:28] But certainly having a I don't know, a safer platform to try it out on initially. We'll make it a little. Easier for people to at least take that first step and understand what it means to own an NFT. And like you said, once you do own it and understand the, the ownership and the, how that plays in. [00:20:47] And I think it's so much easier to understand by actually interacting with these. So, you know, I, I do think that Coinbase we'll have we'll have. They big marketplace and a big effect, but I think it will also bring people into the space or into open sea and into some of these other more decentralized, not that open seat is, but these other marketplaces that are maybe not custody such as nifty gateway or Coinbase and make people more willing to try these out after they've had the experience of actually owning one of these in a safe environment. [00:21:20] Yeah. I mean, obviously. Super cost-prohibitive. So on the contrary to this, like the MCOMP to saying like, look at Instagram, it's viral. Look at like candy crush is 119 million people. Like frankly, the starting point for NFTs is, can be embarrassingly high for certain projects. However, you know, Solano got listed. [00:21:42] I am the first one to say I'm not a huge fan of the salon ecosystem, but as. Projects of higher quality jump onto that platform, you know, like, yeah, you're going to be able to get in quite easily for like under a hundred bucks and play a different type of game and interact there. And so it'll be really you know, it'll be exciting when it happens and we'll do an emergency podcast and say, oh my gosh, it's happening. [00:22:06] We have another note in here though, around the total value. So it's like a different way of measuring the NFE market. We're talking about. But how do you look at the sort of value quote, unquote of, [00:22:19] yeah, you're right. This is, so this is another way of looking at it and this is. Specific to crypto art, digital art, and not necessarily NMT collections, but crypto art.io is a site that tracks NFT art and they value. [00:22:34] They have an estimate of about 2.8 billion for all of. All of digital crypto art. I'm not that sold last year. Just the total value. So the, just to put that one in perspective, the volume for traditional R for all art last year, including digital was 65 billion. So. We would have seen, let's see, almost 22 weeks or so. [00:23:03] The, we would had to seek a 22 X the turnover of all of the digital art for it to equate to that much. So there's just a very small amount. That's whoa, a small amount of art, but also a very small amount of value that's currently on on the blockchain and in NFT art. So I think that we're going to start seeing that change. [00:23:22] I think there's going to be a lot of traditional. Art collectors and art institutions that are moving into crypto in the future. You know, especially as more as more users come in, you know, it becomes a I don't know, any more meaningful piece to hold. And, you know, as you said, that's when the. [00:23:41] Inflection point in the metaverse will be when these digital goods become more meaningful and more, and therefore more valuable to us than a physical goods. And I think that's what we will see with some of these physical arts are these digital arts over time. [00:23:55] I just don't see how that isn't the future of this. [00:24:00] And it's weird. Cause I, I sometimes have to like look for alternative narratives to be like, oh, all of this is going to blow away. Like the wind. It's not going to say. No, I'm not going to save that thing. That by the way, has to sit in a warehouse or behind a screen that you can't ever see, but it sits over there as opposed to like my ability to use this in the metaverse use this in the real, like, I can put it up on a screen here and be like, Hey, here's my art. [00:24:24] I mean, I went over to the other day. I saw your art rotating the wall, and I'm like, I'm very jealous. I'm going to get one of those things, but I'm gonna get the next version that gives me a little more. [00:24:31] Oh, no, [00:24:33] I'm going to get the V2 can get the V2, but I just, I think just to come back to it this is the early adopter stage. [00:24:41] If you look at adoption cycles, we're in a micro height moment, let's just be very clear, like we're in a hype moment, 90, 95% of, if you look at the top 100 projects gone, go away. If you, if you look for the next five years, will they still be around? And that however, I think in the overall market and then in playing into it saying like, this is something you have to pay attention to. [00:25:05] And that's what gets me excited about this. And, you know, it's why I got fired up to do this podcast because I think this forces me to do the research and pay attention to it and also stay with it because there's, I will, I will say weeks where I'm kind of frustrated at decisions I've made quite a bit. [00:25:22] And like, that's the other thing it's like, it really stings. Like when you, you know, you buy a dud horse and you're like, why did I do that? [00:25:28] Great. I mean, if you think about the fact that anyone can. Yeah, can basically try to sell at any point. And, you know, even in these companies that are, you know, these, these projects that are trying to build something early, you know, it would be akin to someone saying, yes, I'm ready to invest in a, you know, at a seed round. [00:25:45] And then maybe two weeks later saying, you know what, as it moved fast enough, I'm ready to sell. And that would be, you know, that'd be kind of crazy. Kind of what we're working with in NFTs. So we haven't really had this sort of liquidity to a marketplace you know, and all of these different projects trying to do so many different things at the same time. [00:26:06] You know, I don't know that there's an apt comparison to look at for for what we're seeing in NFTs. Right. [00:26:12] I, I struggle, you know, you have to kind of cobble together a bunch to get there, but you know, also saying like, okay, if you're an early adopter, early adopter phase or about to go through a bit of a trough and a pullback fine. [00:26:24] But long-term like, where are we now versus where is it going to be? You know, you hear me talking about games non-stop and like trying to, you know, guess on soccer, but the smartest thing. Recently is kind of picking up on your lead of, of looking at capital a art versus PFPs things that are created by artists that are really defining the art movement of this time. [00:26:47] Like I'm still very much long on that. And I think they're, they're getting overlooked. They truly are. I'm really excited. I picked up a Sarah Zucker piece from that Ash chapter two and I also picked up And so, you know, I'm, I'm pretty pretty happy about both and holding on to both for a little while. [00:27:09] And it's because I know they're going to continue to create. And I think that there's like a moment in time where certainly, maybe it goes up and down, but longterm it sort of epitomizes like a type of artists at that at a moment right now that I hope that like one I'd want to display it. It's. And, and to sort of survive. [00:27:29] They're like, oh, it's not part of this PFP project that the community went away. Like the community is people that identify this as art created by an artist in this moment, that is a typical of a style and format that was Sarah this time. [00:27:43] Yeah, I think that's, yeah, that's great. I mean, those are two artists that have definitely shown dedication to their work and. [00:27:50] I think he can be pretty comfortable knowing that they will be around here, be around in the space. Interesting. Interesting to note the dead fellows artist is also a female seat. So we invested in two of the more well-known females in the in this face. So [00:28:08] you're [00:28:09] given a little hint on our next our next step. [00:28:12] I want to give way too much alpha. Don't want to get. [00:28:14] All right. So how big is the NFTE market? Keep in mind, very early 500,000. They'll you'll see like numbers, like a million, but monthly active users. What we care about, people throwing things around and a lot more to come. Obviously when, when Coinbase is the elephant in the room, but it continues. [00:28:31] Yeah. If you were, [00:28:32] if you were in and if these at all right now, you were early in the space and well ahead of many others, and there's a lot left to come, I would say. So feel free to hop in our discord. We encourage you to up in our discourse yet [00:28:44] it have some projects. Stop me from continuing to find horse, horse related. [00:28:48] If you have, honestly, if you can find something that relates to horses and playing soccer or something, please bring it to versus playing [00:28:56] soccer. You immediately get in our discord at three NFT and you bring that to me right now.
Theme: Are all NFTs in YugaLabs lifeboat? 25% of ETH-based NFT asset https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/apecoin Affordable project: Degenz - Collection | OpenSea NFT News Rantum NFT Market Data, Cryptoslam.io NFT Headlines: Want fries with that Ape? NFT restaurants are officially a trend. The Bored Ape Creators Are Taking on Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Vitalik Buterin Covers First-Ever NFT Issue of 'TIME Magazine' GameStop Ethereum NFT Marketplace Beta Launches With Loopring Integration - Decrypt Transcript [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs we're talking about are all NFTs in the UGA labs life boat. I like it. It's gonna be interesting topic talking through it. And Andrew, what do we see in the news today in NFT land? . [00:00:14] Well, we've got some board aid news to start us off. We've got a some stories about NFT restaurants. We've seen a handful of them popping up lately on new. [00:00:23] One was just announced down in the LA area from a restaurant, or that has four or five chains already. But seeing a couple of these pop up also have seen let's see, it was universal music. They've purchased a few Asians. Four apes three or four apes. Now they're putting a music band together, similar to the gorillas put using the board apes. [00:00:47] So starting to see these H be used a lot more in brands and I don't know the way that people have talked about it, but actually seeing it come to fruition of that year. Yeah. When you see this, it's [00:00:58] just really sort of the culture following this and you know, it's a funny picture of like board ape imagery on. [00:01:04] Fries on a burger thing on a soft drink. It's, you know, also being used for really expensive sushi. It says lavish sushi establishment. So it's kind of weird to see a brand being extended in these like extreme directions and like what what's the net result. I'm not quite sure, but you know, try to be parsing out various flavors of that. [00:01:26] I think in the. [00:01:27] Yeah, absolutely. So next we've got that board aid. We get, we talked a little bit about this board. Apes are trying to build a metaverse, you know, somewhat as a antithesis to the Facebook Metta world that may be coming or whatever that may be. This is more of a web three native crypto native, metaverse and that's sort of how people are positioning it right now. [00:01:50] So interesting to see. How, how the NFT or, you know, world crypto NFT world is reacting to this versus the meta play when that was announced. [00:02:03] And they're look, they're there. Just checking every single box on the playlist of launch a project, do the secondary airdrop launch, a coin launch a metaverse with a land sale, right. [00:02:19] Drop in on, you know, restaurants and themes. It's, [00:02:24] you know, go, go to [00:02:25] go to the playbook of the common roadmap, except they execute, right. Like ideas are cheap. Execution is real. And, you know as we mentioned, like that airdrop of the eight token in the last episode, you know, it, it happened it's real in, in sitting in like 2.2 freaking billion dollars. [00:02:42] It seems to be roughly holding somehow value. As of, as of this. [00:02:47] Yeah, I was, I was definitely not so sure that it would hold value as long as it has. You know, and we'll see what happens, you know, who knows by the time you're listening to this, I'm sure it's moved in one direction or another, but I really don't know at this point, I haven't paid all that much attention to the price movement other than just hearing it once in a while to see, you know, what has happened. [00:03:07] Let's see, moving onto the next news item here. We've got a time magazine. Pretty active in the NFT world. They have released their first ever NFT issue and they've got metallic, uterine co-founders and ease of going on Facebook, Ethereum on the cover of this. And interestingly, in this article, in this interview, he talks a bit about how you know, he's not necessarily happy with how. [00:03:30] The, or the, the current state of a theory of, and how NFTs have maybe glorified some of the aspects that he doesn't necessarily like about this, including just wealth and attention that maybe go on with board eight. So he wasn't necessarily. They specifically call them out, but a lot of people read it as a sort of an anti, a board, a kind of stance from metallic. [00:03:55] And, you know, he took it from a point of it's that there's a lot of wealth inequality. There's a lot of eco issues that are definitely are glaringly obvious in this industry right now. And and those are, I don't know, I guess board eight and NFTs are kind of the face of that. [00:04:12] Super powerful to see obviously the first entity issue of time with, you know, metallic and also it just, you know, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. [00:04:22] Like I think it's super interesting that he's just like, look, look, here are the problems. And he talks about the top three over your investors jumping in with more than they can afford to lose. The public flaunting of crypto wealth of like that sort of freaking Lambo culture. Like that's that's shit. [00:04:38] Like, you know, it's, it's really turns off a general population. Even though some are attracted to that. And then the one is the high transaction. So, you know, making it essentially only used for like huge amounts of finance or, or gambling, like he really wants to see the utility of this. And it's also important to note. [00:04:58] Metallica is very different than mark Zuckerberg. He doesn't own right. The controlling voting shares of the theory, certainly massively influential, but you know, this is not necessarily his like sort of command and control and that's really awesome. Right. And he doesn't love everything that's happening in the platform, but he also can't just shut it. [00:05:19] The way that a Zuckerberg, [00:05:21] right. He calls, you know, buying a board ape and then whole ecosystem, just straight gambling. He's like, that's gold camp. [00:05:27] There you go. You built it, but that's how people use it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, a bit of a funny part that came out of this, you know, there are a lot of, a lot of negative comments about the the look of metallic on the cover of this. [00:05:40] And people were comparing him to. To a, you know, got a Tom Brady, they went with addicted. There were a lot of different, a lot of different descriptions, but I actually could see him. One of these, he actually, you know, I could see the Tom Brady look a little bit, but he, he mentioned that he didn't know who Tom Brady was. [00:05:58] And Tom Brady then took some time to introduce himself. And I don't know that Tom Brady gets to do that much, but he said he was a big fan of a tall, like, you know, as we've mentioned, Tom Brady has been he has been used in a lot of ads and has his own autograph. NFT platform. So, you know, I think he genuinely is a fan of metallic. [00:06:19] I think it was pretty cool to see this the all time, the greatest all-time quarterback saying that he's a fan of the tele who doesn't know who he is. So, you know, maybe that means something in our culture at this point. [00:06:30] Maybe it's why I keep coming back to like how disparate the cultures of NFL in crypto are and why I'm always like, so excited about the NFL coming in. [00:06:38] Because if like, if that sort of Venn diagram gets. I think it's a huge on-ramp, but [00:06:43] that's absolutely hilarious and [00:06:45] happened over Twitter. So Twitter, it can't, it's not all bad. And then Twitter, not all bad. [00:06:50] Let's see, we've got one more story. We've got game stuff again. I feel like we're talking about them a lot. GameStop has launched eight marketplace and an empty marketplace, which we have talked about. And because they had raised money from a mutable X, of course, they've launched that on a note they've launched on Lupron. [00:07:08] No real reason, no. Given Lupron announced this man. Now, GameStop is saying that they're going to support both of these. Of course, they've raised all this money from a mutable X. And as we mentioned at the time, they then immediately dumped the coin, which caused the coin to go down pretty [00:07:28] drastically 40% or [00:07:29] so. [00:07:30] Yeah. And in this case, it's the opposite. Now loop ring is a, is I think jumped about 40% once this news hit because nobody saw it coming because there had been no word of it. The bring just announced it. So not much. I don't know what's going on here. You know, GameStop is they're good at putting themselves in the headlines. [00:07:50] I don't know if this NFT marketplace is going to ever be meaningful though. [00:07:55] Yeah, I guess we will see time will tell. I will definitely wait and see and not jump in on this one. Actually [00:08:03] give it a, give it a minute or two. Let it, let it be. So Andrew, [00:08:07] I feel like we've been letting our audience down by not giving them affordable projects and partially because look, if they don't have something good to say, we're not going to say it, but you found something interesting. [00:08:17] Why don't you share with this collections? [00:08:19] Yeah, that's great. D gins and Ft. Let's see. So this is a, let's see how many pieces is, this is a hefty collection of let's see. Oh, no, it's a much smaller collection than what it says. Sorry. I am not stressed. This off is about 4,000 pieces. It gives you access to a NFT alpha groups. [00:08:38] So it's a group that discusses new projects discusses news in the NFT ecosystem posts updates each day. They got my attention when they put out a report on the rare token from super rare when it was especially low they. Saying that it was a good buy at rallied abouts. I think over a hundred percent since then they put out six new reports just this past week. [00:09:04] And it seems like that's just going to be a regular thing. They've announced they've got five more coming next week. So I've found those helpful to look at even. Not projects that I'm necessarily getting into. It's great to get some insight into what people are thinking and seeing around around the NFE ecosystem, they've put out a lot, or they put out a lot of content each day. [00:09:23] Two of the people behind this are hosts of a warning Twitter spaces show and rugged radio, a once a user owned Audio platform. That's currently done Twitter spaces, but they do a morning show there with, let's see it's O S F N F T, who is a, he was an early punks collector and has been in a lot of a lot of big projects and seems to be quite influential in actions. [00:09:49] I seems to be, he is quite influential. You know, when he posts and is quite knowledgeable about the NFT ecosystem. Great. Mondo is another one that is on there and Baroque, who is a artist and a sort of social, an FTE person or social media, NMT influencers. So they all are on that show and do a lot with this project. [00:10:10] They post daily updates starting with more of a marketing. Wide outlook, you know, macro outlook of what's going on in the world from a financial perspective and then how it relates to crypto and then finally into NFTs. So they post a lot of content That just gives you a lot more than you can possibly track on your own. [00:10:32] So I found that helpful. Let's see, we've got a floor of about 0.2 right now. I have one of these right now. I got in at that price as well, or right around there. So there's different types of characters. You know, like I said, it's, it's getting you access. So, you know, you can, you can get. Spend some time looking at the the different rarities. [00:10:52] There are some different types of let's see different there's lobsters, there's some different characteristics, but you know, you're looking to just get in to the discord. You know, you can look at something around that floor price, but try it out has been holding fairly steady around that price recently. [00:11:09] And let's see, moved up. It wasn't. The town in the 0.1, five range for a while there. And let's see for a couple months it looks like or a better part of a month. And then has moved up recently. So, you know, it seems like people are noticing, you know, I don't know if they are planning or I shouldn't say they, they do have one. [00:11:31] Other project that gives you access into it. I don't know if they're planning any others. I think it's just these two projects that give you access to the discord. So it is limited in how many are out there. The account that they have systems that they have on open see is wrong. They mentioned, so it's a little hard to get the exact number. [00:11:48] They say there's about 4,000 pieces, but this, and I think that's weird. I said to the other [00:11:52] open, see, it looks like it's saying it's like, it's an 11,000. But yeah, that floor is definitely moving. You know, what I do like is the community based like access as long as there is a dedicated content generator associated with it, like just access to another freaking discord is like, need that like a hole in the head. [00:12:10] But not a bad call saying like, all right, here are people that are, you know, talking about topics intelligently. So interesting. I will take a look full disclosure. I don't own one. I may FOMO in, although I'm trying to get myself a little breather after a recent, recent. [00:12:24] All right. Good one. Yeah. Sorry. [00:12:25] Went on a little long there. It is a project I liked, so yeah, take a look if you're looking for more news, but we also, we also share a lot of good stuff in our own discourse. So hop in there. If you are looking to to discuss projects and we've got links, we've got we've got some discussion going on and always welcome new people there. [00:12:43] Great. Thanks. Alrighty, let's move into the theme. I'm excited about this. The concept here is, you know, are all NFTs in the UA labs, lifeboat. We all live in a UGA lab submarine and rough back of the napkin with that recent purchase of the SS behind you know, or the BuyBoard natives buying crypto bonds. [00:13:06] Right. And. They roughly have about 25%. I think this is right 25% of east based NFT assets. However, you classify that, which is massive. If you think about how many different projects are out there, that, you know, one company is now controlling this much. And with that, that's, you know, it's a lot of ease. [00:13:28] It's a lot of NFT value and they're now sort of dictating this larger play. We already mapped out is sort of following this Pete by number, but feels like roadmap of things you do after you have done your initial drop. Yeah, I think it's [00:13:45] worth taking a look a little bit more about, you know, how they actually did this. [00:13:49] You know, they all came pretty quickly here. You know, they bought that IP, they announced the the Abe claim right after that. And then they announced the the funding, which had been rumored for a while. You know, like a day or two after that. So it's been a lot of news for you guys. It caused a lot of movement in different projects. [00:14:11] You know, we talked about it, the other side video and how different projects were featured in there. Definitely seen prices of some of those projects rise because of that. They've since fallen back down for the most part. But I wouldn't say that for the overall, because of me, bits of definitely Held pretty strong surprising to me that they have done as well. [00:14:33] You know, but I think beyond that, we've seen that this ape coin has, it will, it's done well, but there have been a lot of people that have sold. You know, I think one. One interesting aspect here is that they released this in March, shortly before the us tax deadline in April where a lot of AP holders may, may owe some, some taxes if they have sold any at this along the way and still hold some, they may not necessarily have the liquidity, but this certainly helps if you are in that situation, because this was a big airdrop for for. [00:15:09] I am holders. And then there's the people that don't necessarily need to to sell to, or, or to sell for taxes, but maybe can use that in other projects. And initially we saw that going into some of these other projects that were mentioned, and, you know, I think there was a thought that it would sort of float more of the NFT marketplace. [00:15:28] And I think a lot of that. Largely stayed within the UGA labs ecosystem, whether that's just into other NFP project from board apes to, to the the kennel club or the mutant Napes or even to some of their other IP, like they need that or punks, you know, I don't think those are as popular, but there's, I think we're seeing a lot of it stay within that ecosystem rather than go out to other parts of the ecosystem, you know? [00:15:51] And it's, so it has helped some of these other projects, but I don't know that it's helped as much. As, as maybe some thought. And the other side of that is, you know, if, if they falter, I think that it could be bad for the NFT space as a whole. [00:16:07] Yeah. I feel like that's what you're hinting at. You're saying they are now the, you know, the banner for NFTs, good, bad indifferent. [00:16:16] And then here is a company which [00:16:18] can do well, it can do poorly, but it is [00:16:20] motivated by. You know, shareholder value is it's taken on investment. It is now on a very distinct course and you know, we've yet to see what happens. I think there was inevitable. There's an inevitability to this right, where you've got the pendulum that will swing from all right. [00:16:39] Here's a highly fragmented, decentralized market with a lot of different brands, a lot of different small players, all playing all at once. Inevitably one of the fish gets bigger than the other ones and figures out how to. And then swallow too, and then sort of capitalize on it and follow along with the way financial markets always do a power law where 10% of the things have 90% of the asset and a distribution. [00:17:04] And so, you know, this is kind of expected. I would maybe say that there's probably more, more to come either by them buying. I don't know if they would buy more, but others realizing like, you know, boarding. I mean you labs, I'm sorry. UGA labs now have five of the 10, five of the top 10 most traded by sales volume and FTEs on the interwebs. [00:17:28] Like that's, that's a lot. So I said 25% of overall value, but like just of the top 10%, they have half of that list. [00:17:36] So one important distinction between the collections that they've created versus acquired is the commission. There is no commission on punks, or maybe it's a, it's one of the reasons me, this have been used so much in wash trading on the looks rare platform because there's no commission there [00:17:56] really quickly, what does commission [00:17:57] actually need? [00:17:58] Right. So the, so commission. Brittany into contracts so that the the creators get a percentage of the sale. So I [00:18:05] believe, let me challenge you on this. I don't know if it's actually written into the contract. I thought it's something that the platform has to honor based on the intent, because you can go to other dark markets and trade around that. [00:18:18] I feel like that. Yeah. [00:18:19] I, I don't, I, yeah, I, I don't know exactly how I, I don't know because I, I don't know exactly how it works. It's certainly something about the, the, the The project itself, the collection itself, because there were collections that were being used. I mean, if there is something set in the contract, I don't know if there's a way for platforms, essentially, not to honor, I guess I know there's a way for a platform to just not honor it. [00:18:41] Like it's not immutable to the contract being [00:18:43] written. Like you can incorporate, it's not fun to transfer that it actually happens the platform and students to pay it out of. Know, I think that should probably be addressed if there is a, you know, a fair way to do so. But I, you know, I think that is important to think about, even if they're getting huge returns from the board apes, there's been massive tradings since all this has happened, I, you know, was looking at it the other day. [00:19:08] And I think I've realized that I think. Within a few days, they had taken in about 63 million in fees from the trading. And there's really no cost to them. I mean, there's, these are digital assets that are being traded at this point and it's on a marketplace that they don't run. You know, they're paying eight fee to open, see, or your character looks rare, but they're also not spending anything beyond that to, to, to do this. [00:19:31] So let's see. It's a very. It's [00:19:33] taken like 2%, 5%. [00:19:36] The question, I don't know. I would say I was going to guess two and a half. It may be as much as five. You know, I, I, we should look at that. Yeah, let's look it up [00:19:43] real quick. Cause I, you know, what's curious, I'm just looking at the past seven days right. [00:19:48] Of, of transactions for just boardings, right. There's been like 216 of those that happened and let's say. They get 5% of that. I mean, they made 3.5 million on just board apes, changing hands and seven days for, you know, the cost of breathing air. And so, you know, similar to the way that, you know, Google has got this money printing machine called, ad-words and certainly apple has its money printing machine called the app store. [00:20:21] Look, [00:20:21] you know, [00:20:22] the, the numbers are there. As long as you're able to keep the marketing brand and value there, it's like awesome. In terms of generating that kind of revenue, but interesting that I didn't realize that NEBA is set up at a zero fee on those, which, which kind of hurts in that kind of volume as it moves back and forth. [00:20:39] They're like, Ooh, you know, what is the, what is the ongoing value of that? And Ft to, to the, to the credit. [00:20:46] It is a two and a half percent commission fee for a UBA labs on each each secondary sale. So let's so divide [00:20:53] my number in half. That's still whatever, you know, like a couple million dollars. It's [00:20:57] incredible. Yeah. I mean, it it's, it certainly adds up. They've been doing huge numbers recently. You know, they keep adding, adding more ways. [00:21:05] It shouldn't say that that ape token is. Was officially launched by the, the board API club Dow. It's not by UGA labs and it does. So it's not any. It's not, it has no stake in UGA labs has nothing connected to the the revenue or to the commission there. It is a Dow, you know, I will see what spins out of that. [00:21:27] You know, as we know, a lot of doubts are created and there's a big challenge to getting something going, you know, that thing said, I could see this token being. In there. Metaverse for sure. We've seen some drops. Recently I know Snoop dog did one that was an album or a song, I believe that was only available in the able token. [00:21:44] So I'm sure we'll see use cases like that. You know, maybe it becomes a dose like meme going, but it's, but it's a power instead of instead of dojo powered. Yeah, [00:21:54] and they're they're going to push it right. That all it all has to succeed. Right. And so if that boat continues to rise, so to do that, [00:22:02] The overall [00:22:03] fate of entities, I think I'd take the contrary to you on if it sinks. [00:22:07] I don't think it sinks the overall market actually. There could be a positive externality of that, which is they stopped sucking all the oxygen ahead of other projects. Right. Because like so much money is going in and it's like, oh, where do I go? I just go into this one corner. And suddenly it sort of starves a long tail of projects out. [00:22:25] I feel like [00:22:25] . I don't think they're going to be. Okay. Anxious to get back into other lesser known projects. That's, that's what I fear. That's interesting, you know, we'll see, you know, I think they also have the potential to grow the market so much at this point. And I think that's, that's really the , that's what I'm hoping that they are just leading many more people into this and that they will become a smaller part of the market because the market grows so much. [00:22:48] And, you know, I don't know. It's great that they have such a large large stake in the say of the market at this point. Yeah. [00:22:56] I don't know. I think the people they onboard are like coming in and buying a $200,000, whatever, and then they, they're not like a real potential user. Right? Like they're not running around with that with a hot Pollock. [00:23:07] They're like, all right, put it in a desert, put it out of sight and then like, hold it, set it and forget it. They're not like necessarily jumping in and active in the community. I think there's like a weird handoff of. Kind of just cold collectors, maybe rolling into those sides. Yeah, certainly [00:23:22] I could see that, you know, I would say the counter is this ape token is actually the easiest. [00:23:28] It's the easiest way for anyone to get involved in the ecosystem. You really, anyone can exchange any amount to be part of this now in some way and have some small part of this. Whereas before I think you had to, I don't know what. I'm sorry, what is it? I always forget the name that the kennel club. I don't know what those are at. [00:23:45] Not my, I don't think it's a super other popular project in general, but I think those are still, if I dunno, 60% of the [00:23:51] time, the teller, the number nine, they did 10 million in last seven days. You know, they're real right. And I'm sure we're it April. [00:23:59] Hmm. Wow. And that's, that's a solid race war for a project that nobody really even talks about. [00:24:05] It just it's just because it's. [00:24:07] and, you know, it's part of it's, it gets you in there. And I think, you know, we're going to see a lot of people just by that token to have part of UGA labs too, even though it's, you know, as I said, it's not part of it, but here's why it's going to be correlated with how with the success of Hugo labs three [00:24:22] years from now, you could have the option of buying well at this price, eight X copies or one. [00:24:29] 48 kennel club. Like it's not even a question in my mind. And maybe that's like, what I feel like, you know, Vitalic is, you know, saying or not saying when he's like, that's called gambling, right? Like, you [00:24:40] know, the, the thing I always keep in my mind is this, the rate of [00:24:45] increase the shorter, the timeframe that. [00:24:47] Right where it goes from zero to absurd. The shorter, that amount of time, the more likely is that same half-life existing off the back end, the faster it goes up, the faster it rips down as opposed to, you know, slow, steady growth over time that sort of grinds improves and grinds and proves is more likely to have that type of staying power. [00:25:08] So we're dancing on the edge of a knife for sure. And you're pointing. That there is a, there is a major spike and bubble in certainly maybe this valuation is hard to say what these things are all valued at, but it has risen in a short timeframe which sends off certain alarms. [00:25:25] Yeah, I think you're right. [00:25:27] You know, it's kind of the opposite of the Lindy effect that we've talked about, you know, really want long steady or, you know, slow, steady is a lot better than the fast like this. You know, there is a, a lot of profit to still. Taken by people for a long time on the way down. So, you know, you've got to keep that in mind, and I'm not saying that that's going to happen. [00:25:47] I'm not saying that it should, or that these are overvalued. I don't know. You know, I'm not saying that I. It's not one that I jumping into at this point. I think that's a good, good way to think about it. Would I rather have eight of those X copies that we were just minting on the last last episode or, or one of the the kennel club and, you know, I, you know, it is, to me, it's easy to say that I'd rather have eight of those Zack X copies. [00:26:13] Oh, you did [00:26:14] accidentally by two less, we forget. [00:26:16] Yes. Still, still a little short of the EPA. It's still funny. It is. Yes. Yes, it is for some of us. [00:26:23] All right. Anything else that you want to tackle on this theme? [00:26:27] No, I think that's good. You know? We'll see how this evolves. [00:26:31] All right. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Theme: What if… I had one month to spend 5ETH & couldn't sell any NFTs I bought for 3 years?

What if you had five Ethereum, one month to buy NFTs and you had to hold them for at least three years. So you had to hold all three years for NFTs that you bought this month. It's just a fun thought experiment to see what we come up with. [00:00:20] But first, Andrew, what are you seeing? [00:00:22] Yeah. What do we see now here? Let's see. So we've got March madness just started as we're recording this and we've got all sorts of NFT drops around this. I've been surprised by the number of NFT drops here. And if NFTU was the first one that I heard about, and then there was a let's see, another one from draft Kings. [00:00:43] But they've been quite popular. They both sold out the draft Kings one. It was a draft Kings. I believe it was their first direct and NFT collection that they, they had. Created before they had just hosted them on their own marketplace. That was 12,000 pieces. The an NFTU from recur was let's see almost nearly 18,000 and FTS there they've been popular and selling on secondary as well. [00:01:08] So I'm surprised that it has been as popular to is took me by surprise here. Anyway. I expected a lot during the Superbowl. Didn't really think about how much it may come into play with the NCAA tournament here. And I think. It's interesting for a couple of reasons that this will have exposure for a whole month here, essentially as the tournament spans multiple weeks. [00:01:30] And the other part is that we have the, we do have, the players could potentially start using NFTs as a way to. To cash in on their likeness, which has not been possible for the most part in NCAA history. It's interesting that those are coming at the same time. So watching that kind of closely over the next month to see how much, how much their exposure NFTs get during the during media publication of the events and how much the uh, uh, the market responds to to these NFTs. [00:02:01] How much do you think is dapper labs? Again, the folks behind NBA top shot and also now the the new NFL all day behind any. [00:02:09] No, I haven't heard their name as being directly tied to any of this, I don't know if there's. Who knows the reasons that maybe you would think they would be there, but I don't know if there's maybe an MBA issue with NCAA or I, that's a, that's outside of my knowledge, but I haven't seen their name come up in any of this NCAA NFT talk. [00:02:28] Yeah, it says N F T U largest unified collegiate sports, digital collectible NFD marketplace. Okay. Not going to be on my buyers list, but I think it may help people jump onto it. And if you're able to bring in some of the sports audience, you've seen a lot of success from dapper. Good luck. [00:02:44] Yeah, absolutely. It's not on my list either, but I am I am interested in the news of this or of these collections. [00:02:50] Okay. We have the Pixar drop, so I love Pixar and we've heard Disney getting into the NFT world. So what is this Pixar NFT drop sells out on the. [00:03:03] I never actually said that out loud. I think it's V the BV platform. So yeah, drop, they had a number of different, our picks picks our characters from their various movies available as NFTs, and it was popular. Not surprising that Disney has found their way to this and is using their IP. I think we've discussed this in the past when we heard some rumors of them getting into this, that they'd have amazing intellectual property rights to all of their characters, all their movies to. [00:03:30] Using NFTs and they have started doing this already. And it it sold out quickly. I had seen news of it and was actually somewhat interested and it sold out before I had a chance to to be able to admit it. And I haven't looked at it closely since then, but it has, I know that they had a decent amount of volume and let's see, it was almost 55,000 pieces. [00:03:51] Yeah, total volumes 3.3 million. It starts type saying. [00:03:55] It's an impressive amount and I'm sure we'll see a lot more from Disney as they are pretty good at this startup sort of thing. [00:04:02] Yeah, I've heard they're decent at branding as far as yeah. Something to check out. Yeah, a lot. I don't know about that. Big players in there. And especially if they're doing it the right. way, we've seen also big players do it wrong, with I would say last year tops, I was like my biggest like heartbreak. [00:04:17] So the question is it a money grab or is it a brand building established play? So we'll wait And see there, but Hey, maybe it ends up on the affordable list. Probably not at those prices. Okay. [00:04:29] lastly, we've got a report here and just to report and a lot of people have talked about how NFTs are. Inversely related to crypto prices. We've talked about it a bit. When crypto prices don't do well and FTE prices tend to do better. And the thought is that you're spending less us dollars for the same NFTE. [00:04:49] Doesn't seem to hold as true as the prices also do well during a NFE bull runs for the most part. And there's some news or report from Nansen a an FTE analytics company that has that they put some numbers behind this. So there's a very negative correlation between the two. So it's a interesting report here to jump a chance to dig into this George. [00:05:11] So it was interesting when they're building up this NFT 500 similar to an S and P 500 or the blue chip index. So they're putting this index and pairing it against saying, how does this perform against prices? When Eve goes down, how does this index go up? Because it's hard to say NFTs as a whole. [00:05:28] So they're basketing this top group and showing how it shows strength. When in fact may maybe going down. It is giving me hope that during a, down a down cycle, which is where we are, I think Right. now that actually. Still makes sense to be shopping for or potential NFTs are the keep in mind, the historical window that we get to look at something like this is remarkably short, especially hilariously comparing it with something like the S and P, which is, standard and Poor's history of the stock market, as opposed to history of when we were putting digital images on the internet. [00:06:03] Yeah, but the history, and I think there's a few more regulations involved with going public and trading on the sec regulated market versus minting a new collection and being one of the top 500 at this point. Doesn't exactly sound Bluechip. I think that may need to. They need to be reduced somewhat. [00:06:22] I didn't read that it was 500. I did read they're basketing these in different indexes. I think it is. I think as we see the market mature, we will see different index products, even if they're just for tracking and tracking the health of the market. And we'll see them come together that look at NFPS in more nuanced categories, such as maybe 3d worlds or PFP projects and get a little bit more nuanced than just saying these are the top 500, I think for awhile, we probably should be hesitant to say that there's really 500 quality and FTE projects out there. [00:06:54] Yeah, that's fair. All right. Should we move into our affordable. [00:06:57] Yeah, here we go. What do you got for us today, George? You get another one? [00:07:02] I look, I fell bad again. I apologize already last episode. [00:07:07] for last week, I felt like I didn't bring the as awesome as I could have. And here it is, this is the killer one. So this is looking at a project called add a star Ava stars. And it's our creator is someone like Jimmy dot E I believe it is, but at a very well-known collector, throwing back to it was established in February of 2020, and it is all on chain generative characters. [00:07:34] And it was, I would say second to auto glyphs for full on chain art, according to my rough NFT history, and also a sort of collective agreed history of this. Along that same time was also chain faces a project that we called out a little while back, but avatars is all on chain. These images that are, they look like a profile pic and they have various designs and formats and layouts. [00:08:03] And currently I will say the floor of this is that 0.1, one, five, which I think is remarkably low for a project like this. I will say that. The project also now has the ability to mint replicas. So when you go in, make sure that you're looking at and finding originals, and as best I can tell you can find that in the in the filters of course, but the replicas. [00:08:30] the wave attribute I believe is what you're looking for. There. A prime and replicant. [00:08:35] there it is. Yeah. So the primes are 25. Thank you, Andrew. There are 25,000 primes and only 326 replicants. And again, the ability to recreate new ones so that you can merge and mix traits is paired. As long as you buy an art token, art tokens are currently around 50 bucks. So I think there's one. Interesting history here. And it's just, I feel like it's just getting overlooked because of all of the new hotness running around. Andrew, what do you see on this project? You actually, you're old enough to have actually mentored this back in the day. [00:09:10] So I had one yet, so they've got different series of these. And I had one, I believe, or I had a couple from one of the later series. I didn't have one from the earliest series. As I look at these now looking the gen zero series, there's only 200 of those. Those are the hefty floor price of 19.5 E whereas all the others are much more reasonable. [00:09:32] The the gen one or the series ones looks like they start at a 0.1, two, five. So I think it would be interesting to look, know, if we're looking at some of the historic value, I think it'd be just going to look at the release dates of those. I am sure the is that again, zeroes are actually the oldest pulling up. [00:09:50] One now. So the gen ones was still like this pier was actually. To Jimmy, the creator on May 12th, 2020. So that's actually pretty interesting that is sitting at the floor right now of the gen ones. That's a pretty old piece and has some historic value. Also consider when looking at this as just the various rarities of the attributes. [00:10:13] When I, so when I invented one of these, there were how it worked was you could create your character using picking various hair attributes or skin. No, Tats different things like this, but then at different times they would take a selection of the of these different choices away. Throughout the minting, they would reduce the numbers. [00:10:36] So some of these become more rare both by the fact that they aren't available at a certain point and some are chosen by the people that do them. So it's worth looking at those, I think. Cool project still. It's a relatively, somewhat large collection at 25,000, but I certainly wouldn't say that is a reason not to to look at it. [00:10:55] We've seen very large collections go achieve quite high for prices. Not a reason to stay away. Definitely interesting project here. And I think it's a good reminder to look at this one. I, I've realized I actually do hold one of these in my wallet right now, as I look at this I had one yeah, I had sold some, but I do have one in there. [00:11:13] I may look at, they look to pick another up here, George. [00:11:16] So here's how you can tell us a good project. I brought this to the table and I think, I may have convinced you to go buy another one. [00:11:23] Absolutely. I [00:11:24] good project. Yes, [00:11:26] really interested when you [00:11:27] also full disclosure. I may have just bought a man bun, a gen one, man bun. [00:11:32] did you do it as live on air as we're [00:11:35] I did it live on air gen one minute. Gas was too low for meeting with. [00:11:38] Ignore it. And also it's man been only 1%, 1% of man bonds. So there you go. Full disclosure. [00:11:45] I'll let you know listeners, when he matches his avatar. I assume he's going that way soon. [00:11:51] I don't think I can do it. But this is, so this is exactly. If we're going to tie into the theme here on the smooth transition, what would you buy right now? If you had five E and couldn't sell anything for three years, right? Those two things are unique. One of the guardrails here is five eight. Yes. [00:12:10] This is well beyond our normal affordable project. But the guard rail there is saying like, all right, you're going to put a sizable bet. Would you buy all into one thing or would you spread it out? And then if you have the mindset of holding for three years, what does the market look like? [00:12:24] And in some ways it takes the. This FOMO, panic of oh my gosh, this thing just ripped and dumped. I got to get in on it. Do you really think it's going to last three years from now? And it just puts a different lens on it. So I will kick off our debates saying, I, I brought out a Starz because it is an old stablish collection, at the prices run up way, way back in the day, but know. [00:12:46] It's been mostly drama, but I think when a larger community looks at the historical context of NFTs, this has a place in it. [00:12:52] Yeah, I agree. I think this holds a place. I think it also has a respected creator. Very likely to stick around the industry and not not be out of the picture in three years. I think that's an important thing. We've talked about this recently and our, just our most recent episode about the role of the creator in establishing value. [00:13:11] And you've really got to start thinking. Who are the creators that will stick with this, with the teams that will grow and continue to work on their projects for three years. And that's not easy to say at this point, because most of these projects are well under a year old avatars. We've got something different here that is, we're actually looking at something that's two years old here. [00:13:31] And, I know that's not a lot, but it's a lot more than what most teams have at this point. [00:13:35] Yeah. So in my basket, I would say I would be looking for projects. That are like this. And I don't have, like this full list, but I want something that was minted in 2020 or 2019. And maybe I would shop, I would put say or two weeks toward just shopping on like a looks rare or something like that to be like, All right. Let me find artists that have a cohesive collection that have been doing the work and trying to pick up. Varieties of art. Obviously you're not buying the next copy, but that's not to say you can't find some glitch art potentially in some early works like that. So I would consider pieces like that, that just have art with the capital, a types of appeal and an age to them because I get nervous. [00:14:23] I would get nervous. If anything, if I'm buying and holding for three years, I get nervous of anything that was like minted with. Hysteria where like the last four or five months I think it's just a different atmosphere. And if I'm going to hold something through three months, I better know that. [00:14:37] Like for instance, that the other episode I talked about calling up human park and I know that the virtual human studios is behind Zed run and they're funded and that that's a studio that's going to be around for awhile. that's interesting. Although I wouldn't throw out there. So what, w where would you throw a bucket of your five five-year magical investment? [00:14:55] All right. Yeah. So I think this is a, it's an initially question, what's going to stick around we've talked about. One project that I, that is historic in the past and we've mentioned it. And I think Boone cats is one that I would still put some in. And I think there are some concerns about how active they'll be. [00:15:11] But I also think that, if assuming things continue to. That the NFD marketplace continues to be active, that the team will be around that they do have plans to be on Coinbase. And I think that is good that the team will be around that long. And that it's a historic project. Going back to 2017 I don't have to look at the floor price of that recently, but I believe that's around half an ear. [00:15:33] Could do that well on, and still have a lot to play with and get some historic value there. I like the avatars play as a another I don't know, maybe one of the earliest PFPs that isn't, isn't punks and certainly had a lot. Customizability than almost any project that we still see now. [00:15:51] So I liked that play a lot there. Again, I think the historic value is I don't know, it's important to look at, and, but we also need to start thinking like, are there teams now that are going to be supplanting these more historic teams, as we've seen with UGA versus larva and I think that's a, that's a tougher question. [00:16:08] To answer right off the bat. What's your thought on that, George? [00:16:12] I think. Looking at a scan. If I just scan what is on the top crypto slam top traded top volume. I take a look at that and I'm like here's a perfect list of exactly what I would not be throwing money at right now, because one it's just not affordable. With, if we're talking about an ape or a immediate, like maybe you could grab a meet at four for that right now, but I absolutely would not do that. [00:16:34] Because again, when I put that guard rail of five feet, I wouldn't want to put it all in one big purchase and then hold it for three years. I'd much rather see it spread across a few bets one or two of which could go to a larger return and spread out. [00:16:50] And then, remember the conversations about reputation and what might happen there. I've seen. Other works, I think I'd want, I want to get into some generative pieces. And I know you're the expert really on, on a lot of those those generated pieces, but, I know we're both collectors of pod Gans. [00:17:08] And I think some of those are interesting and I I would want to dig in to say like, all right, what's the generative plan. I can't afford a squiggle. I know you got squigglies for days. But what is the the affordable play of it's clear that in this moment of time, right? [00:17:21] Three years from now in this moment of time. Oh my gosh. People went absolutely nuts for generative artwork. So how do you fill out part of that in important? [00:17:31] That's a good question. I was thinking about that and it's, like you said, I do have some squiggles and I look at that as a somewhat being a safe Safe play in generative art. Yes. Expensive. But I I. Tended to go there because it wasn't quite as susceptible to the, how the market is reacting. [00:17:48] It was the first art blocks project that really led the way for a lot of these. And, again, I looked at the historic value there. So I think it's, trying to look at some of that, what has changed things, pod Gans, I don't know if it definitely changed things, but it certainly was the, it helped establish that new. [00:18:02] That new platform for AI generated art, China. So I think trying to look at look at the pieces or look at artists that have been transformative. We've talked about a an affordable project from Dimitri cherniak in the past, I think in general, trying to look at some of those artists. [00:18:20] Like Casey Reyes who's another, just very influential generative artist who maybe is somewhat overlooked in NFTs at this point. That could be an interesting one that I know that he has some pieces out there that are fairly affordable at this point. And. I don't know, certainly seems like he's interested in sticking around, has done a number of projects and is working on a lot of new projects with art blocks and bright moments teams that I've worked with a bit. [00:18:44] Some other artists that I tend to think of Tyler Hobbs. I would just keep an eye out for things that he's connected to. He does a lot with the feral file. I'm sorry. That's I, you know what I have that mixed up that is Casey Rio's that does something with federal file, I believe. I think that's an interesting platform to look at as something that's been somewhat overlooked but does generative art. [00:19:05] And another thing that we've talked about in the past is looking at non theory based NFTs. And I think. The worth putting some into a platform like Tezos we haven't gone into it a lot. There are certainly plenty of different platforms to go and do, but Tezos is one of the earlier ones and there has been a lot of generative art there. [00:19:26] A lot of just art in general, I would say. I think so that's a, it's a tough one to filter through. We've started to look at it a bit and it's a little overwhelming. I have some pieces there from when it was a lot newer and there was a lot less there. It was a lot easier to just navigate that world. [00:19:41] I haven't spent a lot of time that recently, but I think it may be interesting because there's a chance that there's. Some other, some additional historic value added to those pieces. I don't know enough of about other chains at this point. Such as avalanche or over. Phantom any those too, to know what the NFT world is really like there. [00:20:01] I would stay in with Ethereum for the most part, but perhaps put a little bit into other chains to just play that potential that they end up, that those chains just end up being popular in the end. [00:20:11] Yeah. If we're talking on Teslas, the only one that caught my eye, I did a little bit of a dive on object.com. That's O B J. A t.com, which is like the open sea, for for the Tezos and market is Tizzard's, which seems to be. Randomly generated little lizard Tizard things. And it seems to be the G project as far as that can go on that platform. [00:20:34] So that might be my play there. I'll do more digging to decide if it's like affordable makes sense for a project to feature. But I would throw a dart at that maybe and part of that portfolio, because again, if it's been around this long, it holds a place it's ridiculous for its own. It could have value again in three years. Cause what we're doing is walking this in a box and not touching it for three years, which just forces you to think a little bit differently about it. Notably absent. I was thinking about this notably absent from my basket would be game NFTs, simply because with games I'm very bullish this year on that, but they take so much careful monitoring. And management that I wouldn't necessarily trust that it would make sense to hold it for three years, as opposed to have some sort of unique opportunity to do something weird with it. Flip it, breed it, whatever it, and so I, we get nervous putting games in, into this basket that said this is a bit of a cheat, but I have been thinking about how important. How important. I think that dapper labs is going to be in the next three years of onboarding people and specifically their flow token, I think gets overlooked. Now it's not an NFT play, I'm thinking about how. It is a backdoor into saying like, all right, I'm not gonna collect NBA top shot or the, maybe NFL, I'll take a look at it, but it could be a backdoor at the same. [00:21:55] How do I make a bet on that platform as a whole? I'm an NFT way looking at flow token, but That's a little bit of a cheat. [00:22:03] yeah, that might be a little bit G I wouldn't actually rule out as an MBA top shot. I don't have much, but I do have some, a couple from season one. And again, somewhat of a historic thing helped usher in a lot of people to NFTs and. Debra labs going away anytime soon. I don't think, I don't know what the price is. [00:22:21] There are a lot of like right now, I'm sure there are values to be had with certain players, certainly that you could put some towards that with the five, eight under the five eith allocation. And feel like he's still got a lot to play with otherwise, but I think that might be interesting again. [00:22:36] To get out of necessarily just going with Ethereum based NFTs. And I think that is a question that we'd have, that you really have to look at when you're saying buy and hold for three years. What do you think of the chain that it's on is that network going to continue to hold value or to rise in value and are the pieces that are minted on it, going to hold that value or, are they gonna be valued in. [00:22:56] USD. And, if the Arrium, I shouldn't mention the report that we talked about earlier was talking about a theory based NFTs and they made that very specific. They didn't, they're saying that. The value of the NFTs that are held in a theory, them were held a value better than crypto tokens over that time period that they looked at. [00:23:16] So it's, it is interesting that you've got to take into account the value of the tokens that the the NFT is actually transacted in. And we've talked about that a bit in the past. I think, when you're thinking about this, how much are you taking that into account? Do you think of Ethereum is going to continue to hold that. [00:23:31] I think if I'm putting out all of the horses in the race, absolutely. This year, we're going to see the improvements to proof of stake over proof of work in the merge and Ethereum as a platform, if you look at it with regards to a PE ratio, it's actually being used, burned and utilized a lot more than any other token. [00:23:53] And in our current drop a lot of tokens have taken a haircut. Eve is still, hanging in into the mid, 2,500 to 3000 range. And it's still, half off, a high, as opposed to 90% off of a high, it is a strong platform to, to bet on all ready on a risky asset. [00:24:10] And yeah, I think that is why we've brought up that. [00:24:12] article and I like this basket, I think this basket would potentially do. It's risky. And we're talking about, buying images and find images on the internet. But I think having that lens, especially during right now and during recession shopping, we're where things are down to have that mindset of like, all right, there are, there is value out here and there's not a lot of customers running around, buying up stuff. Where's that value instead of. Trying to contemplate whether or not you should, ape into Abe token, which I have already warned, I believe will go down because of money versus go and find a project it's just straight up overlooked, but has long-term potential value. [00:24:48] Yeah, I like that play. I think going small, with a lot of these different projects is the way to go here. It's really difficult to pick one that is definitely going to work out in three years, especially at that five eighth level. I think, at any level, I should say I don't think that I could say with a hundred percent, or I can't say with a hundred percent certain that any of these will be around in three years. [00:25:09] So it's better to take a number of risks here and try multiple things. And I think there's a lot of value to be had in the market right now, if you can sift through things and come up with the projects that are being overlooked, it's not necessarily the easiest thing, but I think we've had a few good ideas here. [00:25:24] And I think that they can also, by looking at some of these. It's leads you to others. If you start looking at things that are admitted at a certain time, you can start finding other wallets. It may have been active at that time and what else it may have been doing. It takes some digging, but I think, if you had a month to do it, and this is the way that I would start going about it. [00:25:40] All right. I say we wrap it on there. It was a fun. What if keep it in the back of your mind? What if you had to hold whatever you were buying for three years and it. [00:25:46] may change how you are making that next purchase. Andrew, thanks so much for the advice and thoughts on. [00:25:53] All right. Good talking, George.

Here's the first titled, Following COP26? Look at These 3 Sustainable Investing Strategies and 40 Stock Picks. It's by Jack Denton writing in Barron's. Now please excuse my improper pronunciations of company names in these quotes from this article. Quote. “Interested in the renewables sector? Morgan Stanley says… Look at China Jushi (600176.China), Jiangsu Zhongtian Technologies (600522.China), Luoyang Glass (1108.H.K.), Engie (ENGI.France), Ørsted (ORSTED.Denmark), Siemens Energy (ENR.Germany), FirstEnergy (FE), and Sunrun (RUN). For energy storage… Ganfeng Lithium (1772.H.K.), Panasonic (6752.Japan), Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt (603799.China), and QuantumScape (QS) are worth checking out. Across hydrogen… Morgan Stanley identifies Beijing SinoHytec (688339.China), China Petroleum & Chemical (0386.H.K.), Johnson Matthey (JMAT.U.K.), NEL (NEL.Norway), Air Products (APD), Enbridge (ENB), and New Fortress Energy (NFE) among the potential winners. Attractive bets in sustainable alternative fuels… include major oil companies Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX), as well as HollyFrontier (HFC) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC). The developing field of carbon capture, utilization, and storage offers picks including: Bayer (BAYN.Germany), ConocoPhillips (COP), NextDecade (NEXT), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY). Opportunities in electric transportation and green mobility still abound… Familiar electric-vehicle stocks such as Tesla (TSLA), NIO (NIO), and Li Auto (LI) make Morgan Stanley's list, as do TPI Composites (TPIC), Schneider National (SNDR), Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX), FREYR (FREY), Fisker (FSR), and Alstom (ALO.France). Renovation and energy efficiency also offer options… NARI Technology (600406.China), SINOPEC Engineering Group (2386.H.K.), Covestro (1COV.Germany), and Rexel (RXL.France) are among the potential plays. Morgan Stanley's view is that there are also many stocks facing headwinds… from the trend of decarbonization, including sectors such as energy; power and utilities; cement; chemicals; coal; metals and mining; industrials; automobiles; airlines; and shipping. In particular, it is bearish on stocks including Consolidated Edison (ED), Continental Resources (CLR), XCel Energy (XEL), Ford Motor (F), BMW (BMW.Germany), Nissan (7201.Japan), American Airlines (AAL), Deutsche Lufthansa (LHA.Germany), and Air France-KLM (AF.France), among others.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock and Fund Picks Post COP26 (2) Now, turning to infrastructure. Another favorite of ethical and sustainable investors, there's this article titled Infrastructure stocks on watch after bill passes Congress. Four under-the-hood ways to play it by Keris Lahiff. It appeared on cnbc.com. Here are some quotes. “‘'I think that the (PAVE infrastructure ETF) is a great way to gain exposure…' Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at Oppenheimer, says it has more room to run…Wald told CNBC's ‘Trading Nation' on Monday. ‘We're bullish on that industry because it is indeed reclaiming its leadership… It has also outperformed the S&P 500 this year, climbing more than 35%...' Wald highlights diversified motion and control parts manufacturer Parker-Hannifin as one stock at the top of his watch list… Shares have jumped this month, rising by 11%. The broad-based S&P 500, by comparison, is up just 1%. Nancy Tengler, chief investment officer at Laffer Tengler Investments… Prefers to play the group through individual stocks rather than the PAVE ETF. She picked out three names she believes have upside potential. ‘Xylem is a beneficiary of the $55 billion water spend that's been allocated in the bill,' she said in the same interview. ‘This is significant spending for water. The state appropriation bills are somewhere in the $2 [billion] to $2.5 billion range annually. This is $55 billion over five years.' ‘Then, for the highways portion of the bill, we like Jacobs Engineering. So think about the $40 billion that's being spent for bridges, that's going to benefit engineering and construction companies, and then Martin Marietta, which is obviously just the asphalt for the road,' said Tengler. Xylem, Jacobs and Martin Marietta Materials… this year all are up by at least 30%, while the S&P 500 has climbed 25%.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock and Fund Picks Post COP26 (3) Now for my second article on infrastructure. It's titled, 3 Stocks That Could Win Big Under Biden's Infrastructure Bill by Matthew DiLallo, Neha Chamaria, and Reuben Gregg Brewer. Here are quotes from the authors on their picks. “1. Reuben Gregg Brewer chooses Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE: CLF) Over the past couple of years Cleveland-Cliffs has turned itself from a steel industry supplier into an integrated steelmaker that also sells key competitors iron ore pellets and other steelmaking inputs… Cleveland-Cliffs could also be benefiting from increased demand for its steelmaking ingredients… It is, thus, heavily leveraged to the elevated steel demand likely to come from increased infrastructure spending… Cleveland-Cliffs' stock is the best-performing North American steel mill over the past year. However, thanks to the mergers used to create it, the steelmaker also has the most leverage, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.3 times, twice as high as the next competitor. 2. Matt DiLallo likes Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL) The infrastructure package includes significant funding for the energy transition to cleaner alternatives… That aligns perfectly with Xcel Energy's investment plan. The utility has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and is investing billions of dollars to achieve that bold goal. In addition to investing heavily in renewable energy, Xcel Energy is spending billions of dollars on upgrading its transmission system. It's also building EV infrastructure, including installing charging stations in major transportation corridors and underserved communities… The company said it could invest up to $4 billion over the coming decade on hydrogen-related projects to blend that emissions-free fuel into its natural gas system… The company could tap into government-funded programs from the infrastructure bill to support its spending plans. That could enable it to achieve its decarbonization efforts while creating significant value for shareholders by growing its earnings and dividend. 3. Neha Chamaria recommends United Rentals (NYSE: URI) As federal spending on infrastructure picks up, so should demand for heavy machinery like the ones United Rentals rents out. In fact, the company is already witnessing higher demand even before federal spending kicks off… Growth of 22% in its third-quarter rental revenue encouraged United Rentals to upgrade its outlook… United Rentals looks well positioned to win as infrastructure spending in the U.S. gathers steam.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock and Fund Picks Post COP26 (4) Now, this is a new style ESG ETF, Article's title is VOTE: ESG Activism in an ETF. It's by Neena Mishra of Zacks. Quote. “In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Yasmin Dahya Bilger, head of ETFs at Engine No. 1, about activist investing through an ETF. The activist investment firm had sent shock waves through Corporate America in May when it targeted Exxon Mobil XOM and successfully placed three candidates on the board of directors. The Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF VOTE, which started trading in June, intends to encourage transformational changes in companies through shareholder activism. The fund invests in 500 of the largest US public companies and comes with an expense ratio of just 0.05%. VOTE is an excellent alternative to standard S&P 500 ETFs for ESG focused investors since they can get a similar financial performance while participating in efforts to bring transformational changes in portfolio companies. Microsoft MSFT, Apple AAPL and Alphabet GOOGL are the top holdings in the market cap weighted ETF, which has already gathered about $250 million in assets.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock and Fund Picks Post COP26 (5) Honorable Mentions These are ethical and sustainable investment recommendations worth reading about but I hadn't the space to review them in this podcast. 1.

Sanna Paasimaa on tällä hetkellä yksi kirkkaimmista suomalaisista bikini fitness -tähdistä, joka antaa lajille kaikkensa.

Kaikkia tavoitteitaan lajin parissa Sanna ei ole kuitenkaan vielä saavuttanut, ja lavalla hän tekee suoritustaan jälleen lokakuussa 2020 NFE:ssä Turussa tavoitteenaan tietysti se puuttuva yleisen sarjan suomenmestaruus. Toisaalta Sanna on myös opiskelija Pirkanmaalta, jolla on tavoitteita myös muilla elämän osa-alueilla. Kysyimme Sannalta tavoitteleeko hän myös IFBB ELITE PRO -korttia. Näkyykö kilpauralle vielä loppua? Miten Sanna suhtautuu valmentajaansa Minna Pajulahteen kohdistuvaan kritiikkiin? Jakson kuuntelemisen voit aloittaa vaikka heti!

First of all is good to be back! In this episode we talked with Jo Claeys, a youth worker and a trainer who together with Denis Morel and Simona Molari, developed the training "The Power of Non Formal Education". We tried to better understand what is non formal education, how it relates to other types of education, the contact points with formal education, schools and what makes this type of learning so powerful. Jo has a lot of experience and a curious point of view, as someone that is eager to explore all the potential of non formal learning. This open approach to learning can help a lot of people that have difficulties with more formal types of trainings and education, it can become an exploratory experience where we take what we need instead of just passively accepting what is presented to us. Where the freedom – and the responsibility – for learning is really in our hands. Here are some resources that Jo shared with us, so that we could share with all of our listeners. Video tutorials for less experienced in NFE A approach on explaining the differences between formal, informal and non formal education A comprehensive description of NFe with plenty of links to usefull educational resources Any ideas, comments and suggestions, email us at talkingyouthworkpodcast@gmail.com.

Muitos empreendedores não veem vantagem em utilizar o emissor de Nota Fiscal eletrônica (NFe) da Secretaria da Fazenda (Sefaz), pois o aplicativo não está vinculado às atividades da empresa, de modo que os dados relativos às compras dos clientes precisam ser redigitados a cada emissão do documento. Por isso, os gestores de pequenas e médias empresas têm preferido operar com um sistema próprio.

Welcome! Today’s guest is Brad Hubbard of National Flood Experts. He has built a company and a career dedicated to helping people save huge amounts of money! Join us for more! What is your background that led you to start National Flood Experts? “I worked for 12 years as a civil engineer, working with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) on flood zone issues. When I grew tired of working as an engineer, I began working as an insurance agent specializing in flood issues. I noticed how many homeowners were required to carry flood insurance even though there was almost no risk for flood. I found out FEMA has a process to take these homes out of the flood zone and save the homeowner from paying for flood insurance. Before long, I helped 20-30 clients and then created NFE to help millions of Americans who shouldn’t be paying for flood insurance.” Why would someone be required to have flood insurance? “There are two requirements to have flood insurance: having a mortgage and living in a flood zone, as determined by FEMA. Being near water doesn’t necessarily mean you MUST have flood insurance, and both residential and commercial properties are subject to these requirements.” How are flood insurance rates determined? “There are different factors that vary according to different agents. The rates are not standardized but are affected by how high the home is built and how high the speculated flood may be.” Is FEMA in charge of determining flood zones? “Yes. FEMA created the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program, which oversees all federal flood insurance in conjunction with local municipalities. They categorize flood zones and update maps every 10-15 years. NFE actually benefits FEMA by helping make their maps more accurate.” So, as homeowners, is it accurate to say that we can actually CHALLENGE FEMA’s flood zone designation? “Yes. Challenge is exactly the right word for what we can do. Most people don’t even know that this is possible, because we assume when the government says something, then that’s the end of it.” Can you give us an example of how NFE can help a client? “Yes. I have a client who lives in a 55+ neighborhood and was paying $1800/year for flood insurance. Our company did an Elevation Certificate and determined that we could help her. We charged her $500 for our services, submitted our report to FEMA, and they took her out of the flood zone within three days. She talked with her mortgage lender and her insurance agent and received a $900 refund from her escrow account and $1800 back from her previous year’s flood insurance. When you are taken out of a flood zone, then you’re entitled to a refund of every penny that you paid in flood insurance from the previous year! In addition to the $2700 refund, her mortgage payment dropped by $200/monthly—all of this was accomplished in just a few days’ time!” How do homeowners get an Elevation Certificate? “It’s part of the package with a survey and appraisal when you purchase a home or purchase flood insurance. Only about 20% of people don’t have one. Our crew can complete an Elevation Certificate for $150-500. If your home has been built or improved upon in the last 20-30 years, then an Elevation Certificate probably exists. Every municipality is required to keep these as public record in order to have FEMA participation.” Does your service fee vary according to whether a home is in a low-value area or a high-dollar area? “No, our services are based on a flat rate no matter where you live.” What can NFE do for Medicare recipients? “In all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and anywhere that FEMA regulates, NFE has a way to make it easy. There is a 24-hour recorded message line: 888-289-3134. You can access our free consumer’s guide to purchasing flood insurance. Our services are 100% guaranteed, with a total refund if we can’t help them, so there is NO RISK! If you mention this podcast when you call, then you will receive a $50 discount.” Tell us what you can do to help our listeners. “For some, we can get you out of a flood zone designation and eliminate your need for flood insurance. For others, we can reduce your insurance premium in several different ways in reviewing your property and options.” Can you give us a summary of what your company does when a client calls? “When you call and leave a message, all we need is your name and address to begin our research. We will be in touch with you within 24 hours and give our recommendations regarding how we can help. There is no payment required until a determination is made that we can help. The initial review is free and the only charge happens when we KNOW that we can help (and don’t forget the MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE!)” How does your fee differ from residential and commercial clients? “The pricing is a little different, based on how much we can save a commercial client in a year, but the process and the guarantee are the same!” What if a residential homeowner has had flooding? Can they still contact you? “Yes and no. If you’ve had a flood claim, then FEMA is not going to remove you from the flood zone, but there still are things you can do to reduce your premium. Keep in mind that FEMA defines a “flood” as rising water over more than two acres and where two or more properties are affected. Flooding does NOT include broken pipes or a water main break. Your normal homeowners’ insurance covers those water damage issues. If you are paying for flood insurance, you should give NFE a call at 888-289-3134 or visit their website: www.nationalfloodexperts.com. Thank you for listening!
