This is a special episode and is part of podcasthon. Podcasthon is a global movement bringing podcasts and channels together in service of all the AMAZING not-for-profits out there. This discussion revolves around doing HR in this kind of organization. There are so many great NFPs out there, but I am on the board of Trinity Place Foundation of Alberta. They provide housing for people who are hard to house and those with limited income. Given current housing conditions and the personal struggles of some people, this is so so important! I was happy to interview Jennie Deneka, the dynamic and passionate CEO of TPFA. Jennie has a background in healthcare and has been at the helm of TPFA for 4 years. She is currently guiding the organization through a transformation and was happy to talk about what NFPs TRULY need from HR. LIke:- Be a generalist. Many NFPs are smaller so you will have to do a lot of things.- You have to be realistic. NFPs often have small budgets and you have to make do. - Maybe you can also be really creative and get some great things done- The mission of the organization will fuel you. It's not the only thing that matters, but it helps a lot. It was a pleasure to do this and highlight the great work of so many charities and not-for-profits in all of our communities filling gaps and helping critical causes in our communities. Consider donating to a charity in your community or to TPFA. You can reach TPFA at info@tpfa.ca

Not for profit organizations have different HR considerations. In part, their employee tend to be incredibly passionate about the organization's purpose. They'll often sacrifice their own well-being in service of it. And in many cases, they're expected to do it. Dimple Dhabalia, a lawyer, humanitarian and this week's guest, has a powerful story about what she learned after years of humanitarian service around the world. She burned out, but instead of doing what the rest of us would do, she wrote a book. Her book is called "Tell Me My Story: Challenging the Narrative of Service Before Self." For anyone working in service of people, there is a lot to learn from this thought-provoking conversation about unique consideration of doing HR in NFPs. For example: ❣️ "Being human is messy. And serving humanity is even messier." ❣️ Systems and culture drive employees to put the organization and their humanitarian service ahead of themselves. ❣️ It isn't all on the organization. Change starts with individuals. ❣️ Ultimately, individuals and organizations have to change together. ❣️ We (and especially women) are taught to give, give, give and that will only take us so far.

For this episode, Toni is joined by Pam Greenhill who runs the popular YT channel Bloo´s Self Reliance urban homesteading and wellness channel. Through it, and her hands-on workshops Pam teaches people how to grow, stock up on food bargains and preserve while on a budget. She is a qualified chef, nutritionist, dietitian, herbalist and naturopath, mother of 2 sons and foster mother of 72 children.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Relying on supermarkets is expensive and makes it hard to eat well. Only a small % of the food they sell is healthy and nutritious. Teach your kids how to grow, cook and preserve food. That is how Pam learned. Community matters, you are stronger together. Even an unexpected big bill can leave you unable to afford food for a few months, so it makes sense to be prepared and have food for emergencies. Be prepared in little ways for example having a blanket in the car on cold days. Plan your meals and shop around for ingredients.  Only some things in discount stores are cheaper. Make your washing powder. Live mindfully.   BEST MOMENTS “Every spare inch of my front and back garden is growing food. “ “Preparedness is more about life happening but you not being inconvenienced by it. “ “What you can grow yourself, or what is locally grown is so completely different. It's like they were grown on different planets. . “   ABOUT THE GUEST Pam Greenhill is a dietician, nutritionist, herbalist, naturopath, retired chef, creator of the Rainwater Self Sufficiency program and owner of The Bloo Pixie Studios which is soon to be registered as a PCIC.  A single parent at 17 with 2 sons, Pam has fostered 72+ children. Raising them in a home where growing and garden-to-table cooking is the norm. Teaching them life skills to help them on their healing journey.  Pam runs Bloo's Self Reliance YT channel where she teaches self-sufficiency and helps those with few resources to plan for life's unexpected emergencies in a no-nonsense but light-hearted way. https://bloos.food.blog  https://www.youtube.com/@BloosSelfReliance  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087737348646   https://www.instagram.com/bloosselfreliance  Threads - Bloo's Self-Reliance  BlueSky - @thebloopixie.bsky.social  https://www.tiktok.com/@bloos_self_reliance  https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebloopixie  WORK WITH ME If you're ready for greater clarity and confidence to create the freedom and alignment, you crave in business and life.

Toni is joined by Andrew Waite who has spent most of his working life focused on adult education and chairing organizations like Mencap. For 30+ years he´s worked tirelessly for diversity and inclusion and now runs three community interest organizations all of which are having a significant positive impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS People in the LGBQT community still suffer a lot of bias. Most of which is subliminal or unconscious, but still harms the person subjected to it. Most companies are still not doing enough about diversity. Many jump on the bandwagon of inclusion events for social media purposes. Recruit properly, never employ someone or accept a volunteer because you are desperate. You have to know your clients to truly provide them with what they need. Lots of people taking lots of small steps is a highly effective way to make true change. When setting up a business you need to be realistic about how fast it will grow. In year 1 Andrew´s turnover was only £800. Not having a board or trustees to run everything past can make it easier to get things done, which is a benefit of setting up your own business. BEST MOMENTS “Pride is a protest. It's just actually turned into more of a celebration these days. “ “You have to stick to your principles … then you've got the respect of the community you want to work with. “ “Our job is to be wise on how we're spending our money because we do make a difference depending on where we put our money.” Andrew Waite Bio Andrew Waite is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in education and community work across various sectors. He began his career in private sector training and later established SureStart Children's Centres for Westminster Council. After founding a charity to deliver adult training and childcare, Andrew became Chief Executive of a Mencap charity and Chair of Trustees for Barnet Mencap. He later founded Impactful Governance, a consultancy supporting charities, which led to the creation of two more organizations: Impactful Futures, focusing on environmental projects, and Impactful Lives, addressing LGBTQ+ issues and social change. www.ig-cic.org.uk            www.il-org.uk    WORK WITH ME If you're ready for greater clarity and confidence to create the freedom and alignment, you crave in business and life.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with global economic attention should have shifted to tomorrow's labour market report for September, but the US waterfront strike, and the Middle East tensions has sidelined it.However first in the US, there was a minor dip in the actual number of initial jobless claims last week, but a lesser dip than expected. There are now 1.62 mln people on these benefits, the lowest level since November 2023.And as you would expect, the level of job cuts in the US has remained very low.Tomorrow's non-farm payrolls labour market reports is expected to show a rise in payroll jobs of +130,000.Perhaps in something of surprise after the wavering factory PMI, the ISM services PMI came in much better than expected. It revealed the strongest growth in this sector since February 2023, amid faster increases in business activity and new orders. And that was mirrored by the internationally benchmarked version.US factory orders in August weren't as strong, little changed from the prior month to be -0.6% lower than the same month a year ago.The US East Coast & Gulf port strike is entering its third day, unresolved. But there are signs of progress in negotiations. The Canadian port strike has ended now.With China closed for holidays, all the equity market signals are being squeezed into Hong Kong which remains open. And that is not good for their property stocks which have had a heady run-up based on the stimulus signals. Now those property stocks are falling just as sharply as investors realise the fundamentals are just not there. And the expected ¥10 tln fiscal 'bazooka' has still be be launched. It is still being talked about and is still expected, but it won't happen till after the holiday week at the earliest.In the EU, there are signs that producer prices are rising again, up +0.4% in the bloc in August from July, but down -2.3% for the year to August which was a lesser rate of decline from the prior month.And later today, the EU is expected to approve an increase in tariffs to as much as 45% on electric cars imported from China, a move that officials said would help protect European carmakers from a glut of cheaper vehicles directly subsidised by Beijing.Those same subsidies have caused Toyota to pull back on developing EVs, because they are no longer commercial to produce.In China, price cuts along with those government subsidies helped the likes of BYD to boost monthly deliveries to all-time highs in September.Australian exports retreated slightly in August, but their imports retreated more, so their monthly merchandise trade surplus stayed at about AU$5.6 bln. But that was only because gold exports stayed strong boosted by sharply rising gold prices. Without those, their surplus would have halved.The latest IMF review of Australia isn't entirely convinced they have a sustainable disinflation trend underway and they warn them to prepare to do more to get price stability. They also say Australia needs to build many more houses in its efforts to tackle unaffordable housing and its pressures.Container freight rates fell another -5% last week as weak demand overcame the costs of the security issues in the Middle East. But that only dipped prices to 146% of pre-pandemic levels. Last week's weakness was mainly outbound China to Europe. The transpacific rate levels were unchanged. (Backhaul prices are now very low.) Bulk cargo freight rates slipped -2% last week after a long runup. They are now about +13% higher than year-ago levels, the same from the pre-pandemic period.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 3.84% and up another +6 bps from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$2655/oz and up +US$5 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +US$3.50 at just on US$73.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is still just under US$77.50/bbl. Middle-East tensions are now starting to affect these prices as the never-ending 'retaliation' cycle shows no sign of ending.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 62.2 USc and down -½c from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are -20 bps lower at 90.8 AUc. Against the euro we are down -40 bps to 56.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 70, and down -30 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$61,134 and down another -2.9% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has stayed modest at just on +/- 1.8%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Sarah is known for her pioneering work in de-biasing HR processes and fostering inclusive environments where diversity thrives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has biases. The lack of diversity at the top demonstrates that there is a lack of equality in the workplace. Inequality outside of work plays a significant role in inequality at work. If you take on the bulk of domestic chores, and child and elder care duties, you don´t have as much time and energy left for work. Plan for what you want to do in your career. You don´t have to be liked to do well, you have to be respected. Get yourself seen - network with those above you and people outside of your firm. To get to the top you need a sponsor. Be authentic and do work that you enjoy. BEST MOMENTS “None of us are as inclusive as we think we are. “ “It takes certain people to sit above the parapet to get things done. “ “My husband would say I am stubborn. I say I am persistent. “ THE GUEST Sarah Churchman is a pioneering global DEI and Workplace Wellbeing leader with over 20 years of experience in professional services.

Every person needs a mentor for personal and career growth.Bio:Liz Jaluague is a Toronto-based cybersecurity engineer and Canadian Army reservist. She earned a BSc in Biochemistry and a postgraduate certificate in Computer Security and Digital Forensics, and has been a non-profit leader in seven different organizations since the age of 19, currently volunteering with a NFP cybersecurity organization. She believes in the power of mentorship from her own experiences, Liz consistently commits her time to guiding others along their professional paths. Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/existentializm/ Quotes:“When you're constantly learning different skills, you kind of remember that everybody is a different level, and it's a humbling experience.”Episode Highlights:On today's episode, we delve into the captivating story of Liz Jaluague. From navigating cultural experiences to challenging conventional career paths, Liz shares her journey of resilience, determination, and growth. She shares insights into the ethical implications of cybersecurity, the power of mentorship, and the impact of cultural influences on leadership. Childhood Memories:Liz grew up in a Filipino family in Toronto. She had a great understanding of both English and Tagalog. In Tagalog, there are suffixes that one uses when addressing people older than them to show respect. At some point, Liz started questioning why she wasn't accorded the same respect as a young person. She dropped the suffixes, and it caused her issues with her parents. A year or two down the line, her parents came to term with it. Later in her own life, she came to value the respect accorded to elders and now sees both sides of the issue.Cultural Influences:Growing up, Liz had a desire to learn new things and really valued the learning culture. She was able to grasp a lot of new things but learned later on that she couldn't ace everything and became more selective with her learning and more humble in her approach to others.Liz's parents had her much later in life which gave her an opportunity to learn from her older cousins.Influential Groups:After university, Liz volunteered in several NFP organizations, currently with a cybersecurity non-profit. Looking back at her leadership journey with the NFPs, Liz realized that the people she most admired had a sense of purpose, and in every job, she connected with the mission and vision of the organization. Liz vividly remembers a time when she was in Las Vegas for a conference and she recognized one of the sponsors. She walked up to him and thanked him for giving her the opportunity to make friends working in that organization. The simple act of gratitude gave Liz a mentor.Personality and Temperaments:Liz describes herself as a pessimistic optimist. By nature, she looked at things glass half empty since her family didn't have a lot of material means. On the flip side, Liz learned to adapt and understand that things always work out in the end.Cultural Epiphanies:In Belgium and the Netherlands, Liz began to consider cultural differences through the experience of a glass of water in restaurants and different types of door locks in AirBNBs. What brings out the best in Liz?:Liz loves working with people who are authentically themselves. She is not a fan of hierarchy. Soapbox Moment:Do you have a question on cybersecurity? Liz invites you to send her a message on LinkedIn, and she will be more than willing to answer the question.Support the show

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Resources for farmed animal advocacy: 2023 roundup, published by SofiaBalderson on December 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Tl;dr - This is a curated and useful list of farmed animal advocacy resources that came out in 2023. We (Impactful Animal Advocacy) sent this compilation out in our free bi-weekly newsletter and thought it might be helpful to others in the EA community. There is is not a comprehensive collection of all resources, but if we missed any that you found significant from 2023, feel free to add as a comment. Enjoy and here is to even more impact for the animals in 2024! Acknowledgements: thanks so much to our Comms Lead Allison Agnello for this edition, as well as our readers, who viewed this newsletter 20,000 times in 2023! Themes Over the past 12 months of curating Impactful Animal Advocacy (IAA) newsletters, we've noticed several trends. Here are two that are prominent in our collection of 2023 resources: Movement infrastructure In the animal advocacy movement's growth this year, we've seen an increase in services provided directly to animal advocates or organizations. There has been so many new initiatives that we developed a Meta resources wiki to keep track of them all! This expansion reflects a recognition of the diverse needs within the community and how projects can benefit from support and area specialization. Here are a few categories of increased infrastructure: New meta organizations ( The Mission Motor, NFPs.AI, us!) Advocate training courses ( See section below) Supporting groups in developing countries ( Animal Advocacy Africa, Good Growth, Thrive) Refining how we measure and compare across species Given the large number of possible ways to help animals, selecting the most impactful approach can be challenging. This year, we've witnessed a increase in research accessibility and applicability for advocates. This is not just about providing information - it's about helping us integrate this knowledge into practical strategies. As a result, advocates may be better equipped to make informed decisions on where to focus their efforts across different species and geographic regions. How one might compare welfare across species ( Moral Weight Project sequence) How much pain do different species endure ( Welfare Footprint Project) - watch the recording of the workshop we hosted for them here How bad is brief, severe pains versus chronic, milder pains ( Dimensions of Pain) How many animals are impacted, and where ( Our World in Data) Updates we found helpful So much has happened this year.

For the first time ever[00:08:59] Not gone. If you're listening NFPs are not gone, they're just getting started[00:11:58] The best way to think about cryptoids is I like to describe it is you take a a toy company like Mattel and a gaming company like Nintendo. Yeah. If those 2 companies had a baby, and it was born on the blockchain, it would be cryptos, and that's kind of what we're building[00:12:30] As somebody that's creating IP in in building something from scratch, from the ground up. I don't like to perceive what we're building as investments. I like to to build something with fun and fandom at the forefront and enjoyment and entertainmentAll Quotes[00:10:49] So here's my Donatello, right, from Ninja Turtles[00:03:49] So every other toy company basically copied the blind bag model[00:12:30] As somebody that's creating IP in building something from scratch, from the ground up. I don't like to perceive what we're building as investments. I like to build something with fun and fandom at the forefront and enjoyment and entertainment[00:08:59] Not gone. If you're listening NFPs are not gone, they're just getting started[00:03:21] I was spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on these toys, because you're a good dad[00:08:33] I believe in what you're building because I've seen you build stuff and sell stuff and move on to what's next on there and as an innovator and a creator and just a brilliant mind on where we're at with technology[00:11:58] The best way to think about cryptoids is that you take a toy company like Mattel and a gaming company like Nintendo. Yeah. If those 2 companies had a baby, and it was born on the blockchain, it would be cryptos, and that's kind of what we're building. I love that[00:06:21] We had this little side project from 2018 to 2020. Nobody cared about it whatsoever[00:09:58] The Star Wars Unboxing experience is a whole other level. Like, this is like, we put our hardened souls into that[00:13:16] And for us, we wanna start with fun, fandom, enjoyment, And then look if we do those things well, then they should be worth something 1 day just like, you know, the Pokemon company. Right? When they created the first, you know, Pokemon sets of cards in 19 99, they didn't think that a Charizard was gonna be worth a million dollars[00:06:02] Let me build a passion project with my daughter[00:05:23] Here's this multi-billion dollar segment of the toy industry. That's predicated on collectability and scarcity[00:02:18] This whole thing was really inspired by my 10-year-old daughter Victoria. At the time, she was 6 years old. And this was back in, like[00:07:29] Here's this passion project called Crypt Toys. Now we need a real company behind it[00:05:28] Here's this thing that Fred's talking about, this blockchain NFT thing, we could now combine the 2 and do digital toys. For the first time ever[00:02:50] So my daughter started to get obsessed. Again, she had just turned 6. She was obsessed with these things called LOL Surprise dolls.[00:07:10] The world started taking NFTs and digital collectibles seriously.[00:00:31] I mean, last time you and I connected podcasts wise. Right. It was on lessons via leaders, which I we were just tracking before the interview was a real big motivation after I saw your little podcast studio setup, Like, I need to do that, and I went on to do that. So, it's all your fault, Will.[00:00:05] This is the Beyond The Story podcast. A show that goes way beyond the story[00:11:04] We wanna give both modalities here. Yeah. Oh, that's scary.

In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Olivia Thornton, CEO of Cricket ACT.   We hear from one of the few female CEOs of a major sporting body in the Australian Capital Territory. Olivia shares her insights into guiding a sport towards the future whilst addressing its past.   Olivia explains her transition from high-performance athlete to CEO and the similarities she's found in building successful teams. She explains the importance of recognising strengths and weaknesses and complementing these skill sets.   As a state body, we learn how Cricket ACT engages multiple stakeholders and partners to achieve its objectives, the benefits of accessing shared services with other state bodies, and the resources of its governing body, Cricket Australia.   Like many organisations, though, Cricket ACT has recognised the relevance of diversifying its revenue streams, and Olivia outlines how she has engaged in partnerships to support this.   We also hear about the challenges of inheriting the financial implications of the National Redress Scheme and how the organisation has implemented policies to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for its community.   Finally, we learn how cricket stays relevant by offering multiple programs and formats to meet changing societal tastes and how organisations need to be resourceful and nimble to manage these changes.

Chris shares his experience adjusting to changes in government funding models and how the organisation is reducing their reliance on a source that can change with government agendas.   Chris also talks about the organisation's transition from a secretary to a CEO approach and how they manage to work with high-profile members to create a cohesive strategy for lobbying. We hear how regular, coordinated efforts are more successful than once-off interactions with policy-makers, and Chris provides further tips on how to build influential relationships with government members.   Finally, Chris explains how he has tailored Salesforce to handle their complex member election process and the benefits of customising the platform for grant management.

We officially have done over a hundred episodes and we're coming up on our, our one, one year anniversary. [00:00:21] I feel like, uh, that's a, that's a big accomplishment. And in NFT years, what. Time seven . Yeah, I feel like we've been in this for, for quite a long time. You know, it is nice looking at some, some NFTs and realizing that they are now long term , uh, gains, you know, not everything is just short term gains and, uh, well, you know, certainly not all gains anyway, but you know, it is nice when the, some of those get into the longer term holds. [00:00:48] Um, but yeah, it feels like a very long time we've been doing this, George. Yeah. It's, uh, it's been interesting. I was looking back at some of our earlier episodes, also episode idea. We should be like, have we learned anything it's a year later, we'll find out when our, when our anniversary anniversary is and, and go for that. [00:01:05] But there's some early projects I'm like just laughing at. And I'm like, oh, I remember when I was into that. But you know, just this time, last year we were looking at metaverse stuff. Right. We were like, oh, this kind of seems like a thing. And it was before all the announcement and pieces like that, but getting. [00:01:20] You know, land, uh, land sales that have gone, like, I'd say like the full circle at this point of beginning, middle, and now, you know, end as we were looking at what was the. And Ft lands. What was it? Ft. Worlds. Those are the ones Ft, worlds. They were well, I mean, they got up over 10 at one point. I think they're bad. [00:01:37] No, they start like this time last year they were at like 0.1 and I was like, well, this is a joke, cuz I feel like they didn't ask permission at all from Microsoft on what they're building on. And they're on an old version of it didn't matter. The tech didn't matter. But then it does because obviously Microsoft issued that whole like, Hey, uh, you guys can't do that. [00:01:56] This is, you know, this is our land and you kind of like quasi built on it, unintended and you know, the, the price is taken a, an ax to it. So, yeah, what's, what's kind of amazing. Here is I'm looking at the, uh, the floor price and it's it's 0.85. Um, but we're, do recall that. I believe I actually, uh, got out at 0.7. [00:02:17] So as much as it's fallen, it's still , it's still above where you were. I thought you sold one above one at one point, but. I don't think I did actually, but you know, um, I don't need to go back and look at it to confirm. It's not like you can find it permanently on the blockchain forever and ever. Yeah. [00:02:34] Right. yeah. If we're playing that game, I've got, I've got more than mine, uh, fair share of that front, but you know, getting into it, you know, of today, what do you see in the news going on here?

They were put on blast by P a N Ft. And you know, they've, they've certainly, uh, they've introduced a new stolen item policy. So I guess now you actually have to file a police report within seven days of the theft. [00:03:11] Um, and there are more options. For the new buyers to, to get that removed. Um, I tend to see a lot of details on, on what those options are. Um, and then, you know, they basically are still recommending that, uh, people go to another marketplace if, if they are having problems. So, you know, it's, it's something, but, you know, I guess you still get careful don't use a different marketplace. [00:03:35] Yeah. I mean, I, I guess maybe they should put something in there that you can't, you can't resell a, re-list an item after purchasing it for seven days or something, and you actually wanted to make sure the customers were in the clear when they bought it. But, you know, I don't think that's gonna happen. [00:03:51] Yeah. It's something, obviously we're, we're moving markets. We have a lot of power. We try to use it responsibly. This is a good first step though. I also noted that, you know, they're, they're, they're seeing that there's like falsified people submitting these transactions. So like, hypothetically, like let's say, you're like, you know, you're frustrated that you sold something and you're like, oh, uh, I was hacked, uh, it was stolen. [00:04:15] Give it a back. Right? Like you need a police report. You need to have some sort of. Follow on of, uh, of law and repercussion. If you're, if you're faking that, not to say that people, I have no clue what percentage either way is, but they're, they're starting to realize a touch of responsibility in the process, which is important because what's happening now. [00:04:37] Won't scale. They can't. Yeah, I am. I'm looking forward to seeing some of these police reports though. And, and, you know, just imagining what those conversations will be like. Well, the truth is. You know, like insurance fraud is real filing for fake loss and stolen items like that, that comes with severe consequence, you know, think insurance fraud. [00:05:01] So, you know, to that end, you know, there is other elements of liability. Like we have homeowner's insurance, we have renters insurance when something gets stolen and resold, like you are able to go to various bodies. So this is like almost even, you know, the start of, especially if you're pulling in the police, the next step is saying like, oh, I potentially could. [00:05:19] Individual insurance for myself. And they could look at, you know, also the blockchain and also in researching it. Guess what, as smart as we all think we are and like hiding things. If you're not, it's all on the blockchain, you can and will be found if you're dealing to a wallet that you ultimately end up owning and pulling back to yourself. [00:05:37] So they're, um, you know, it's a road to legitimacy and I think there's a lot of second order thoughts that kind of come from what open C is suggesting here. Yeah, well, I'm glad to see they did something good work, good response to, to, uh, our, our podcast reason to open sea. I know you're listening still on point. [00:05:58] All right, our next, next headline here. We've got, uh, Reddit, they're migrating their community points, which have been part of the, the system for forever. They're MI migrating these toum Nova. So this is a layer two on Ethereum, um, will be powering their, their community point system. So this is very much moving over to the blockchain. [00:06:17] You know, we've talked about how things, you know, something like Reddit is very. I kind of already used to this sort of, uh, idea of, of digital ownership. And, uh, here it is. They're, they're moving over. Toum I think this is also interesting because you're seeing web two social move into web three, and they're only doing it on certain, as I understand subreddit, such as the R you know, subreddit cryptocurrency, where the community is kind of ready for this, but you. [00:06:49] I think you're getting into, how do you make micropayments micro compensation for micro contributions of content to a network that makes money, right? You have a whole bunch of essentially unpaid writers when it comes down to it on social media platforms, putting out general content. And this is the start of saying like, whoa, how would we potentially share some of that value? [00:07:13] Push it out rather than consolidate. and, you know, I, I think Reddit is, is perfect. Cuz you can divide this by, you know, the, the subreddits, the communities can decide whether or not they wanna compensate the group members or not. [00:07:29] Yeah. I mean, I, yeah, I mean, we talked about, I think it makes sense. We'll start seeing this power. Other, uh, other point systems are seeing different, uh, layers, par power, other point systems here soon. I think, you know, we've talked about, I think airlines are, are right for this as well. So, uh, I wouldn't be surprised if we see, uh, some big changes or big announcements like this, uh, coming up in the next few months. [00:07:50] And of course, arbitrary is a layer two on top of Ethereum. [00:07:54] Uh, speaking of. Companies getting into, uh, crypto and NFTs. We've got Starbucks. I think you had actually mentioned this, but uh, little more information on this. They are, uh, going into NFTs. You'll be able to, uh, earn these by instead of just getting points when you, um, When you, uh, buy at Starbucks, you able to earn actual NFTs, you know, show how, how big of a, a big shot you are at, uh, at Starbucks, I guess. [00:08:20] Um, you know, it's, it makes sense for them as well. You know, it's, it's a place where people are very used to ordering digitally and, and even earning points and, and, uh, you can definitely see, um, see the use cases here for them. I'm excited. They actually haven't announced which blockchain, but they are definitely gonna be choosing an environmentally sustainable one, cuz it's definitely part of their ethos. [00:08:43] And also the backlash would be amazing. And there's kind of like a, a rumor baked in here that they're potentially waiting for. Ethereum's merge, which is penciled in for September. To potentially make an announcement. But if I were a betting man, and I am, I would bet polygon. So put it on the list of things that three a is, is predicting and will probably come true. [00:09:05] I'd go polygon. What would you say? Yeah, I mean, that would be my guess as well. I was actually somewhat surprised that Reddit wasn't on polygon just because they have INED so many, uh, major deals already in have more, uh, real, real world use case or use experience than, um, many of the other layers at this point. [00:09:24] All right. And, uh, let's see, speaking of, you know, the various Ethereum layers, we've got suggested tentative dates for the merge, the merge is coming. It sounds like we've got, there are two potential dates suggested, looks like it may fall around September 15th. Um, so we will see, um, that was, that will be, let's see the Paris upgrade, uh, the be. [00:09:48] Upgrade will target September 6th. So this is, this is right around the corner. This is it's real, definitely seeing some, um, uh, some price movement in Ethereum recently, and gotta think that the merge is on people's minds when they are buying. [00:10:02] So the, what is the recent test network? The final test network, uh, went through successfully as of the other, yes, go girly. I believe it is G O E R L. I, although it's yeah. I wanted you to. Pronounce that . Yeah. Which I mean, Gole, Gole, I, I don't know, you know, it's, uh, I believe it's a German city. Um, so I, with a, in the O is got, got some of those dots over it. [00:10:28] So, you know, I'm a great successful one, two, it was successful. Absolutely. I mean, it's, uh, you know, since. The summer has been impressive in the development timeline seems like things are going as planned. And, uh, the merge is hasn't been pushed back. It sounds like it's actually been moved up somewhat. Um, so, you know, as we're recording this, we're in mid August and, uh, you know, we're about a month away. [00:10:52] It's exciting. You know, I think it's, it's hard to say what has been priced in or not priced into this. I'm not smart enough to tell you. I will say you have a lot of factors going for you, the biggest and maybe underpriced piece, maybe the environmental component, like this is the number two, uh, crypto currency currency platform. [00:11:14] And it's by going. By effectively going, you know, green-ish right. And sort of greatly reducing going from like 4% emission to 0.4% emission. It becomes this very acceptable, logical choice on, on a lot of levels. Not only just to build on, but to invest in. So. That alone could, could move. I think a lot of, of the market, not to mention the actual underpinning of the code, we've touched on all of this already, but you know, in some senses, if you're in the NFT game, maybe we begin to get to the road of stability. [00:11:49] In price, like we're, we're carrying less, I think in the game of empty about what price Ethereum is though. It definitely matters but the freaking stability, because right now let's just be honest. Like if you think this price is gonna two X in the next 30 days, are you really about to like buy that next? [00:12:07] You know, G maybe not probably waiting. So, um, a cooling effect, maybe we'll talk about volume prices in a bit. Anything else on the. On the radar for you thinking about the, the merge of. [00:12:21] No. I mean, I think it's, I mean, you're spot on just saying that, you know, the price movement E is not good for, for NFTs. Um, you know, we'll get into some of this a bit more. I think, um, we're talking about the project MarketCast but you know, we, we definitely have seen, um, maybe some, not as many transactions as, as maybe, or not as much volume as we, uh, maybe would like in the NFT area, but. [00:12:46] You know, hopefully once the price settles down a bit, we will see that pick back up again. Awesome. Well, we don't have a specific affordable project unless you're gonna surprise me with something. So I thought maybe we'd take a quick look at what is on what is on your shopping list or at the very least, what have you picked up in the last week or so that you haven't talked about? [00:13:07] Yeah, that's a good question. I've, you know, I've been putting some bids out there. Um, you know, I was looking at some of the, uh, Um, the col de decentralized, you know, put some bids haven't had any of those hit yet, but notice some people getting those at you already have one though, right? You're trying to, you're trying to gobble up with, I don't, I don't have one at this point, actually. [00:13:25] No, I sold both of those. So we both, when people were accumulating them in order to, uh, try to get the ascended version. Um, so that's now done. That's where you needed. I think five of them. Um, so they're, they were butt up. It's gotten a little softer there. Uh, haven't had those come through, but I've been putting offers in. [00:13:41] Few different places. How about you? Have you had anything hit? Yeah, a little bit. I landed, my I've been talking about it. AARs, you know, putting my E through my mouth is because I, it hit below my threshold and I am gonna pat myself on the back. Cause I weighted, unlike in the past I showed a touch of discipline. [00:14:00] So I weighted it down from when I was hovering around 0.7, five to 0.5. And I, you know, one of my bids was accepted. Arguably, maybe I could have picked it up for 0.4, five, and now who knows if it drops further. It hit to this price. Um, it's fun to be in that, you know, sort of community. I think it's, uh, as I mentioned before, has a lot of upside in mic Johnson as somebody's gonna continue to hustle, it seems so I'm still digging in and like, you know, as excited as he can be to join another, another project. [00:14:28] Yeah. I mean, it there's, there's a lot of listings out there right now. We've definitely seen, um, I, I mean it, in a lot of the projects that I'm looking at, we, I'm seeing more listings. I think, you know, that does the price movement recently has got some people thinking maybe I'd like to, uh, to, to cash in some NFPS for E um, you know, I, I, I'm not terribly concerned about, um, Some of the E or NFT prices coming down. [00:14:52] Um, in my opinion, you know, these are things that sort of stable, you know, they, they do tend to benefit from stability. So, um, you know, looking at, you know, definitely looking at making offers different places and seeing if there are people willing to let things go relatively cheaply. Um, but yeah, I don't know if it's actually. [00:15:11] The only, uh, the only I can think that I picked up recently was, um, was the ledger market pass, but I've actually sold that since. Um, so that was the ledger. Um, as in the hardware wallet, they have a marketplace coming out. The, the, the ledger pass itself will give you access to some of the new drops. It wasn't particularly, um, Uh, it wasn't overly interesting to me to keep, uh, going with some other new projects, um, that, you know, it was one that I, uh, that I held for for a week or so there, um, you know, not a long term hold though. [00:15:48] I picked up I Adam pass. So I, I submitted to this. This is, um, A creator community where they're talking about collectively creating. And this is part of Adam verse.com. I'll include that in the show notes and it it's super cool. Actually, it's all about sort of a bunch of creators that have different skills, abilities from like writing animation marketing. [00:16:15] And they're all sort of like, I mean, we're collaborating on like what will be created and the ideas that, you know, uh, there will be a, a creative output. And then ideally the, any proceeds that happen would, uh, potentially get divided among it. But it's, it's, it's super interesting because it's, um, you know, trying to, you know, connect, uh, writers and creators in the same, uh, in the same game. [00:16:38] So. Um, it's not really something that's traded. There's like, there's no volume cuz they don't really allow trading to happen. So it's really just about the, the, the membership, uh, component. And it's one of the more interesting gals. I I'd say I'm a part of cool that's one that I had not heard of yet. [00:16:55] George. Oh, look at me. Look at me, Sean. Yes. There's no trading volume. So you know, you're do, you're doing it ESP. If you're a creator. Or interested in that game, like I would say that's, um, it's, it's a fun one to check out. Um, I should note that I I've noticed little nouns have come way down in price. I don't know how those will, uh, you know, how those will fare, but I do see that there are still, you'll still see some good nouns, um, get picked up on secondary for, for over 0.3, even over 0.4 at times. [00:17:27] Um, so I actually think that's a, not a bad one to, to keep an eye on, um, at least trying to maybe. Maybe snipe a, an auction. If you could see a particularly good one, there's still, uh, some PO some opportunity there to, to resell as well. Now, you know, I'm a, I'm all in on little nouns. I was able to snag a, a top 100. [00:17:46] So just to put a finer point on it, like I will constantly be looking at, uh, definitely not the floor, because if you wanna get in there and bid it's like, go for it and try to like snag one. That looks cooler. It looks interesting. Um, because there's only four out 4,600 out there and there's 1700 owners. [00:18:05] Um, and there's, you know, in terms of volume in a given day, uh, around call it 2020 items changing hands. But what you can do is actually go with, um, uh, oldest. So you do instead of price, like low to high by default, you do just like oldest and then you hit buy now. And this is kind of how I filter through. [00:18:26] And then like, I'll do a. Look and be like, oh, interesting. Is there anything that is in the top 100 for, for sale even, and, and right now there's only like three of them available there. So every now and then someone gets desperate and just posts something. Even, I'd say maybe the top 1000 might have some cache, but uh, I'll I'll say Andrews, talk me outta that. [00:18:52] Yeah. I mean it you're right though. I mean, if you're looking at the top, let's see top thousand, it looks like you're still gonna be at a minimum of. Wait, well 0.4, 2, 5, 5. I see a 0.4, five, five. Yeah. And there's number 9 56. That 0.4, 2 6, 9. Um, actually that one looks like it just sold and was re-listed um, interestingly enough, it was, uh, it was sold about 45 minutes ago for just 0.19 and then someone immediately re-listed. [00:19:23] So, you know, someone does someone's following your logic. There should be more value to you in the top thousand. You're definitely a good place holding that, that top 100 though. I, I should have some you then I hope that, uh, you know, some of our listeners did . I was, I think I did a decent job shouting that out, but I will say in everyone's defense, I was real depressed because that same day, like Ethereum had taken a 50% ax. [00:19:45] And I think in like, Like three hours or something. It was like, it was so dark when I was there being like, uh, fine, I'll do this, but that, yeah, that's, that's one to take a look at. And again, I like that because of the way that Dow is structured, right? Follow the money, the money, every 10th, one of these things is going into its own backyard and there is definitely money there. [00:20:08] And, you know, if you, if you think nouns are doing well, then little nouns are like a slice of that. So I dunno, I like it. It's on my, my list. I'll put that filter by the way in, um, in show notes. [00:20:20] I mean, the other things in my wallet is like, I bred another horse because I'm real excited about the upcoming, uh, upcoming changes Zed has, uh, going on in there. Um, like I need another, I think I just need a hundred horses. I just, I need to hit that. That milestone. Absolutely. I mean, I it's it's I've I've come rather disappointed. [00:20:37] You don't have that many yet. You gotta get to a hundred. I mean, Andrew, there's a filter. There's a constant filter to say like, do you have over under a hundred horses? And I'm like, you, like, I should . I mean, yeah, you, you should have, well over a hundred at this point. Let's uh, let's encourage George second wallet. [00:20:54] Actually, I might, I have to go check my second wallet. Oh God. I gotta go. Oh boy. [00:20:58] All right. I feel like, um, is there anything else on the, uh, the affordable shopping list right now? No, I think that's, I think that covers it, you know, making bids and, and seeing what hits, but, you know, be, be patient. You can, you can get some people, uh, maybe a little desperate to, uh, to, to get E right now. [00:21:17] Agreed. Um, so I definitely picked up the, uh, the play, the pray station, um, after our pod, uh, I picked. That one. Oh, all right. The, from Joshua Davis. Yes. The art blocks one. I like that. Yeah. I think if you're collecting art blocks, you know, there's, there's definitely a decent backstop on that. And that floor is at point 11 right now. [00:21:39] All right. Onto the theme. So we are talking basically about market cap, so NFT price.com. And, you know, they're, you know, everyone's got their, their sort of hook on it, but it is a data aggregator price, price, floor tracker, and then it just does the fun thing of saying, well, what if we multiply, um, the total amount of the value of price floor versus the collection size. [00:22:06] And that's how you end up with like a market cap of 1.4 billion for board ape, right? Or, uh, crypto punk set 1.3, uh, 1.3 billion. So it is this idea of saying. There is an inherent value and it's at the floor. If everything's sold for the floor, this is what it would be. Um, I think it's also interested. They show listed slash supply ratio and you just sort of have like a, a scarcity element there, uh, as well. [00:22:32] Um, which, which is curious, I dunno, what do you see in when you look at a, a market cap, anything of use. Um, you know, I think one, one of the good things with market cap is that it gives you a way to compare floor prices or more than just floor prices, but compare collections beyond floor prices and account for the fact that many of these projects have different numbers of pieces. [00:22:54] You know, we do see 10,000 often, but obviously we see, you know, 5,000, you see 20,000 see very different numbers. And there, you know, that's a lot more holders, a lot more people that need to hold onto those, or, you know, you continue buying. Um, and you know that we're, we get these market caps and it's, you know, I, I think one thing to keep in mind is that's a pretty. [00:23:17] And it's, it's always optimistic because it's assuming there is liquidity at that floor price. And, you know, we, I, we know that once somebody starts selling that floor price is going to move. And if there's a lot of sellers, we, we generally know which direction that's going to go and that's gonna be down. [00:23:36] Um, so I think it is, it's good to keep in mind that these. These floor cap or sorry, these, uh, um, these market caps. There's, there's not a lot of liquidity generally speaking behind these projects. Exactly. So the liquidity question is like, could all of that technically be sold. So if you were, you know, nine, 9000th person selling, like no one would be on the other side of that buying. [00:24:02] So I think it is a bit of. I don't know, mid bit of misleading data to assume that like, oh, we could immediately get all that money for our place. You need that many buyers on the other side. Uh, for, for doing that. Um, I also like to just sort of like the quick number, so example, like I know you're a rug radio holder for, for instance, um, we've talked about it, but the rug, radio Genesis NFT, you know, there, there's only 1.2%, um, sellers on that. [00:24:30] So like most of the folks are actually staking that. Right. And so you're like, oh, interesting. Um, it's kind of just like a different look at what, um, A thin floor might be, um, the floor on that by the way is like, I think it's like 0.2. It's in the background of my mind of like, eh, maybe I'll put that on my list. [00:24:47] Yeah, I, I do like looking at the number or the percent listed, I guess that's even even more indicat than, than the number of listings. Um, you know, one thing that I think we need to keep in mind is this is generally open sea. And as, as far as listings go, and, you know, as we see more and more markets or marketplaces proliferate, and, you know, we see, you know, X two Y, two, and genie and, and looks rare and. [00:25:12] I'll take little bits. We're not always getting a complete picture of how many are really for sale. When we look at these, I think it's a great metric overall. Keep in mind, some projects in particular may be more active on other marketplaces. So, you know, there's look around a bit when, when doing these, when you're doing your, uh, research, you know, I've definitely started noticing that you need to really check more marketplaces now because, uh, you know, open sea doesn't have as much of a stronghold. [00:25:41] And I think that's probably going to continue. I think, you know, some of these aggregators, these data, um, aggregators they're. Right now they're not taking listings from all of the, the various marketplaces. Um, for the most part listings are off chain. So that would be using, um, you actually need to use APIs generally speaking, to get the listings, um, from the other marketplaces. [00:26:05] So, you know, I think we'll start seeing improvements there, but, um, Definitely isn't a perfect measure. Um, I think it is, this is something that's actually included on the, uh, w gmi.io tool as well. You can see how many, um, new listings there are in a day and how many, or, you know, whether it's gone up or down. [00:26:24] I do like looking at that gives me some idea of, you know, if it's, if people are, are. You know, getting more tempted to sell because the price has gone up or, um, you know, people are actually holding because, you know, they, they wanna hold or hold it for the long term. And aren't necessarily all that concerned with a, you know, 0.1 E increase. [00:26:43] Um, it that's that I find actually more, I, I pay more attention to that than, than market kept generally speaking. Um, I don't know. How about you, George? Do you, do you look into those at. Um, yeah, I'm much more of a Hawk on, on the sort of volume. I wanna just wanna know how, how quickly or how FOMO a, I should be on my, my bids, uh, on whether a project is moving or not. [00:27:07] And frankly, I'm like, I, I'm really only looking for things that are asleep. I want, I, I want something that, uh, I I think has value and is going to, to wake up later. Um, and if it's already moving, it's a signal to me is like, I missed it. I'm like, I'm fine with that. I'm good with it. Uh, the other side of it is I'm a little, you know, not too asleep. [00:27:28] I think I was, you know, looking back, uh, a year ago, this time. Was I think more enamored with just sort of like old projects for the sake of old, like, oh my gosh. Like how old this thing is. And like it's been a year and I don't think that really has played into this market valuation at all. You know, my, my bets on like crypto bots, my bot, like my bets on chain bases simply because they were just like OG and original and, you know, have, have been in the game for a while. [00:27:55] Like it. Uh, it doesn't seem to play in. And I think there are, it's more about utility, um, ongoing interest of the project because, you know, I'm, I'm looking at something like chain faces and I'm like, there's a low number listed, but I know that's because it's just low attention completely. I almost like it has been forgotten. [00:28:13] Yeah. You know, I, I, I think that may be, you know, trying to look at the number that are listed in a day compared to the number of sales, um, would probably be a, you know, really helpful, uh, metric to have, you know, see how fast the, the inventory is turning over essentially. Um, Because I've definitely seen some and there are times where I just go list something and it's maybe the only one listed. [00:28:35] And, you know, I know that it's not exactly going to move anytime soon, despite being the only one listed, um, And that is, yeah, there's a lack of attention if people aren't seeing anything happen, um, you know, open sea has made the default, uh, for new listings to just be 30 days. So, you know, there, if you're not in there and either not changing it doing longer listings, there are definitely times where there's just no action. [00:28:59] Um, you know, and that's one where we, if you looked at how many sales per day and how many listings per day you'd have a much better, you'd have a much more accurate view of what's really happening with the collection rather than having to go look at the, the activity manual. Yeah. All right. Well, I think in a, in upcoming one, I wanna dive into some transaction actual like macro data and, and look at that. [00:29:21] Look at some of your charts, any other, any other thoughts we had on this theme? [00:29:25] No. I mean, I, you know, I think this is, it's a good one to keep in mind, especially for comparing different collections and also getting an idea, is this, you know, is this absurd? Is there, you know, is there really that much liquidity there? You know, if you see an absolutely massive number, you know, in the, uh, the market cap, I think that might be a good sign that it, uh, it's a little bubbly. [00:29:44] It might be time to, to list because certainly other people will be listing as well. Yeah, you get into this sort of like we were to tie the real world price to earnings ratio and it'd be way outta whack. You'd be like, really? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's, we're still developing some of these metrics I think. [00:30:02] And you know, I think there's even just thinking about how, how fast the, the inventory does turn over is, is important when you're, when you're thinking about getting into these collections. Yeah, no, it's it, it could be actually a, a warning signal of saying like, well, wait a minute, this is just it's. So out of whack and sometimes to see the big number can help you realize like, wait a minute, this is, you know, you're telling me this is got the valuation of like a fortune fortune 100 company. [00:30:27] And you're like, it doesn't like this, this asset simply doesn't have that. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, it's hard to say that many of these , that aren't seeing a whole lot of, uh, revenue, um, beyond, you know, a small percentage of, of what's traded each day. Um, it's hard to imagine that that a lot of these can sustain some of these just massive market market caps. [00:30:50] I don't know, crypto Dick butts might make it. You know, I think that deserves it's it's market cap. Well, I'm give you crypto. Oh, here's here. all right, Andrew, you gotta guess as we sign off, what do you think in, in dollars the, uh, the market cap for crypto Dick butts is. Uh, let's see. I think it's well, there's about 7,000. [00:31:12] I believe there's 69 69. And it's three E or so. So we've got 21,000 E nine. So what do we have? 400 and something, 440 million or something? Well, you're off, you're off by a zero. It's like 30. Am I off by a zero? Oh, five zero. Okay. I added one. All right. Sorry. I mean, you could, if I had said doodles, you were you were, well, I mean, I knew was gonna be something absurd, but you know, I don't know the Dick, but what has been interesting and kind of expected that with a pump a while ago? [00:31:46] It has now it's, uh, man, that's that's that's the CCO one, right? CCO summer, apparently. Yeah. Oh, that's a good topic for us. What happens when you know, you get CC'd like all the moon birds people did. Um, we had that in the news article, not too long ago. That was unfortunate for them. Well, legally, man, what you own is not yours anymore. [00:32:07] Sorry. Yeah, that's an interesting one, especially because that was advertised as, uh, being part of the project that you own the IP so interesting that you never owned the IP because if you did, they wouldn't have been able to change it like that. Learn as you go. All right. Good talk. See you out there. All right, George.

How [00:00:43] are the proceeds from NFT sales actually used money goes in. [00:00:49] Where does money go? We'll dive into Andrew, seeing some NFL? [00:00:55] Andrew: Yeah, I do have a kind of thing. News from See, I guess a couple of big things. one thing, they just changed the look of the site around quite a bit. So if you haven't been on there recently should go check that out. A few new things. Definitely looks a little bit different, looks a little lot more social on the um, on the, uh, profile page. But other big news was they released their sea port protocol. Um, couple of things. Parts of this one. it's going to allow people to trade NFTs rather for ease. You'll be able to say that maybe you want to trade a uh, Uh, I don't know, gold ape or something, and say that you'll, that you'll take specific, uh, Zuki pieces and that's one to bring up. [00:01:42] Now, try to go some high end. [00:01:43] ones, you know, is what I was trying to say there. without going into the projects where we actually talk about them. But anyway, you'll be able to trade them for specific traits. The other part is that this protocol will allow other people to use kind of the back has already built to run their own third-party marketplaces. Um, so this is, I think it's actually pretty big news here, uh, will allow a lot of people to, um, uh, sort of, you know, give it a shot of making their own allowing that. But I think in the end, that competition will make, you know, as we've talked about having more marketplaces pushes these forward and I think, uh, improves the product in the end. [00:02:21] So I'm excited to see what actually. It happens with the trading of NFPS. I know there have been out there. There's also been involving those are involved, but there's a lot of people that use those sites and, uh, in not great wage, which has made them a little hard for me to want to get into. [00:02:39] But I would be interested in trying out trades on the open seat platform. or on a trusted marketplace was using their Yeah, the open-source part gets me excited because it's additional functionality that. [00:02:54] George: could be brought to bear, I think, and even specific projects. and I've seen this probably [00:02:59] most popularly in me, bits where me bits actually had the ability to [00:03:04] post and trade and [00:03:05] interact, um, the uh, the actual uh, from a back and forth. [00:03:10] But this is across project, but also [00:03:12] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah. We'll see what happens here. I think it's, it's, it's cool to see that that's coming from open. See, because it hasn't always been thought of as the most open platform. Um, but They are definitely, uh, opening up, uh, their backend here. And I'm excited Oh, I'm just excited to get farther and farther [00:03:29] George: away from anything resembling money and more of a horse based anything that brings us towards that is [00:03:35] Andrew: That's right. Trade your [00:03:36] George: horse. Sorry, digital horse based economy. [00:03:39] Andrew: Right. and of course we'll that, that will be the, the peg in the long run, right? Um, boy, my breath though. [00:03:47] Yeah. [00:03:50] All right, we've got some other news here. We've got uh, big Crip, or sorry, big a VC firm. They have launched any new $4.5 billion crypto fund that is billion with a B that is huge money. Um, you know, it's not necessarily a NFTE specific, but I am sure that some of this will flow towards NFTs. [00:04:11] Um, so I think it's, it's, it's, I mean, it's an absolutely huge number and good know. Remind people that there is a lot going into to crypto, even when the prices may be aren't going up. Uh, just keep that in mind. [00:04:26] George: I think things like this speak to total addressable market and be built right. That will get the next a hundred million people onto the platform because you're not getting that amount of money, unless you can answer the fundamental question of who is the total addressable market and how do you get them there. And I think there's going to be a lot of innovation brought to smarter UX and Wallace onboarding Fiat beyond just like send it to Coinbase and then send it around. and I think it's a, you know, a very positive sign. that you know, time spent right now on crypto and collecting NFTs right now is like, I'll just be honest. like, it's tough to watch number, go down every single day. It is a different place to see that, like, Hey, there's a huge increase coming in terms of building an investment, If we were seeing, if we were seeing right now diminishing amounts of money being be spent, guess this was just like that hype cycle that. that was one and done. I think what you're seeing is the builders and [00:05:34] VCs realize that this is just the beginning of [00:05:37] something. This is new tech yet to be applied rather than like, wasn't it weird when we all lost our minds in 2021 around NFTs? Yeah. Back to normal, [00:05:49] the amount of investment just in Q1, you know, dwarfs any other previous. [00:05:53] Uh, I mean, obviously Andreessen Horowitz pulling in Billy's is a weighed into that, but the amount of investment, the amount of dry [00:06:02] powder being put behind a new [00:06:04] projects that are rebuilt, uh, is significant. [00:06:07] Um, it'll be interesting to sort of play off of our, where, then move into the market? [00:06:14] Andrew: Yeah. Well, we do know, where at least some of a 16 Z has moved some of their money. Recently, they led a round or at least participated in around, uh, Adam Newman of rework new. Uh, chain flow, carbon and 70 million going into to see. So those two stories, both coming up this week. [00:06:34] Doesn't always, uh, doesn't make me super confident that, uh, we're one of these. I mean, sounds like, sounds like an, another layer one that's being run by Adam Newman. And, um, I don't know, I have a lot of questions. We've had a lot of Romans with alt layer ones as it is, and it doesn't exactly have a lot of, or give people a lot of confidence. [00:06:59] So we'll see where this goes. And I really hope that most of this 4.5 towards, uh, things that are a little bit more, um, uh, well tested in marketplace then than these new L ones. [00:07:11] George: So you're saying that flow carbons And GNT that token it's on [00:07:15] its way. It's not a, it's not like on an [00:07:18] Ethereum level. So, yikes one, however, just to say, I is looking to create carbon offset accreditation and tracking for it. I mean, you know, clean, the Dow has already done, I think, an amazing amount of work and sort of that sphere. [00:07:40] And, you know, they've had the successes that they've had. I will say to Adam Newman's credit, uh, that gentlemen can sell people on things, uh, quite well. And one thing I know you need to [00:07:52] sell folks. [00:07:54] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So, this works out well and you know, it is what it uh, benefiting, benefiting our, uh, ecosystem as a whole, I guess. [00:08:08] George: Also, I will say [00:08:10] in terms of like, there are many risks [00:08:11] associated here, I'm actually oddly if the person's fairly wealthy and not likely to like a bunch of money out, you already did that with the last company he's done. Hopefully you won't get money out. Right. Cause history never repeats itself. [00:08:24] He's got enough dollars. So this can be like, you [00:08:30] Andrew: Maybe we should start looking at the new lunette shame. heard new loon is going to be so much better than last. The is for losers. [00:08:39] I think I'll stay away from that one. But I think this is interesting. There's some, you know, they're not the only name. There are some other big names on the list investors here. So it's one to keep an eye on anyway. [00:08:53] George: Yeah. Okay. A hacker tool hacker. [00:08:58] NFT artists, people's Twitter. [00:09:00] And you know, when people lost hundreds of thousands of dollars as to problem of crypto Twitter, and having [00:09:06] all of your wallets, [00:09:08] connected to the ability for attackers to after Twitter, um, they reportedly may have lost these investors, uh, $438,000 worth of cryptocurrencies. I mean, that's [00:09:20] Andrew: I mean, it's a relatively small one compared to all the other scams and hacks that we are at many of the other ones that we've talked about. But, uh, you know, just another one to another way or thinking to are I guess, you know, don't always even trust the links from, from the accounts that you do follow the authenticated accounts because you know, those can get hacked too. [00:09:40] And if it seems too good to be out of the blue or whatever, you know, Give it a second and slow down. Yeah, I think, you know, if you listen to [00:09:51] George: any of our stuff, it's, you know, trust, but [00:09:53] verify all these, [00:09:54] things. and I, I, I genuinely [00:09:57] think it's project owners to do a little bit of what [00:10:02] I said of white hat hacking and [00:10:05] trying to trick your own audience, just to [00:10:06] steal them against potential. And it doesn't make sense, don't do it because anything can we're talking about a lot of money now when certain projects get up there, but again, the onus is on the owner. [00:10:22] Andrew: All right. Well, why don't we move on to our affordable project? I actually have one for us this week that, uh, mentioned in the discord. there, you seen that. I mentioned I was minting this minted, a few of these, and this is a collection called across the face. by. [00:10:38] Uh, Nigerian NACI is an artist that I've been familiar with for a little over a year. Now I hold of his, but I was excited to see this collection come out. It's uh, on the async platform, which we've past. Um, this new async blueprints platform Uh, a bit of it's a degenerative art platform, it's not quite, it's not generative in the sense of gender of code building these pieces. [00:11:03] It's all pieces exist. Then they've run different variations come out. Um, so. They're all of them. It's a bit of a self portrait, I guess, of him in various stages with gait across the face. Um, there's a reference to a object actually on the face of each of the characters in the set. [00:11:24] Uh, it was a thousand pieces. and it did 4.1. Each floor is right? Um, I I really like this set. I like how it looks. It's very much, uh, very much in of these other I've seen. Um, and, I think it is, I think it's a great way to get new collectors involved in some work. [00:11:43] Um, as we've seen with some of these other blueprints, um, from Colby and the X coffee ones are now, certainly in, uh, those went up quite. Immediately, but even the Colby ones now I think are up over one E that piece. Um, and So I think this is a good one. If it's, uh, if, uh, you know, for a long-term hold, um, I think there's a good chance that it was a Nazi is still relatively, um, Uh, not well-known in the space and, and that a lot of people will come to know him. [00:12:14] He's been working, um, with blockchain art for a considerable amount of time now, I mean, over, you know, at least compared to most others over three years. Um, so I think that bodes very well for how he will age in time. people come to appreciate, uh, blockchain art specifically. [00:12:31] George: I like this too. it's a thousand items as you. And 334 owners. I like that sort of small batch art a rather than PFP, like here are like 10,000, because generated as many as you want it, but this is a very focused, smaller batch. And definitely says something I say as a, as a collection and the great time to sort of say, all right, You know, who is an artist is going to continue to build over time. And Uh, you know, as you mentioned, The art, the art is unique. it's not a derivative and it is in his style. I'll also say, cause I've been, you know, I've been in picking up individual artists in this way that I like the collection. It seems like the collection also carries cache because if it's like uh, buried in so rare somewhere in unique, obviously the artists but I'll just be honest. you need that secondary to be able to find it. And if you [00:13:31] can't find it, you're not going as many [00:13:33] competitive bids. The pieces [00:13:35] are just not going to move. So I like that this is a collaboration between the, the, [00:13:40] async blueprints and super rare in this case. [00:13:44] Super rare, so that it's potentially a larger [00:13:47] audience of this will be found in the future rather for esoteric people who know [00:13:52] how to like perfectly search that said, don't you think there's going to [00:13:55] be much smarter art platforms that, like Kool-Aid around artists rather [00:14:00] than just collections. Yeah, I can definitely see, you know, more artists specific. They, you know, maybe that's something even see spin up out of, You know, some sort of, uh, Open seat marketplace for specific artists pieces are collected in there or, you know, in a small number. I mean, I could see that being somewhat of a gallery style where you could select people to be in or select even different collections to be in a specific marketplace. [00:14:27] Andrew: Um, no, I do like that this, this is on super rare and async, and. It's interesting that You know, I don't, I'm not sure what the super rare part is actually adding to it at this point. You know, you have the knitting sink. Um, now the, the trading is primarily on open sea and super rare. Um, you know, you can view them on there. [00:14:50] So I'm curious to see where superhero. Goes with how they're expanding, trying to expand their platform. you know, at this point it. doesn't seem like there's much there other than you can view them on that platform. I, guess you tend to sell them, I believe, buy and sell them there, but it's not, it's certainly not where most of the trading's happening. [00:15:08] I haven't checked if there's there. has been any at this point. Um, I think that there's A potential for these to be used to build. You know, to build new pieces too. You know, we've with the with his blueprints piece, um, or he's doing that where You can put multiple pieces together to build a new one or build special additions. [00:15:27] So, um, it's, it's within the blueprint system. And I would, you know, I would like to see something like that maybe if, you know, come out of this at some point or I'd be interested to see it. I you know, I also love that the pieces as they are, but I could see that potentially being something that is in play down the road. [00:15:43] George: Yeah, full [00:15:44] disclosure. I uh, picked up one as well. As soon as I [00:15:46] saw that you, dropped that in the discard. And I was like, well, that's good enough for me. I'm going in? And [00:15:52] Andrew: Yeah. There's a lot of, lot of good collectors in there. A lot of other artists, uh, they're now Armin, I noticed, uh, um, Brian Brinkman, some other artists that. [00:16:02] have been around the space for a long time. You know, I think that it was the NACI has a lot of respect from, from well-known artists in the space. Ransom bits is in here. I see recently purchased a couple hours ago. [00:16:14] Yeah, I have, I picked up a couple on of drive. I like the idea of putting a few of these together and making a collection and I want to get one in each of the objects on the face. So yeah, I am, I'm a holder and [00:16:26] George: Oh, so you, so there's different objects in the trying to pull that, together. Do you think that's going to be worth something or you just like, from an art standpoint, [00:16:32] it's just school. [00:16:33] Andrew: I think it will look cool together. You know, I think. there is potential that maybe There's something like that having a full set of each of the objects will at least look cool and trying to put some variation in what the objects are and what they're wearing. you know, there's different things that. [00:16:47] Yeah, different hats. There's different, um, clothing. So there's a shirt and tie. There's a basketball Jersey. There's, you know, I dunno there's even more, um, more ways. There's four different backgrounds. I don't know if the yellow is pieces in the past that I've seen. [00:17:03] Um, but I think that, I don't know the backgrounds even add a lot to this there's I think. There's a lot of ways that people could end up putting collections together. And I think it would be, it'd be cool if there were a way to, to, to put these together in a way that, you know, builds a new piece or something, or take something out of this. [00:17:23] But, you know, I have no idea, something like that will ever happen. [00:17:26] George: So you're just planning, playing an app, but you're going and you go? along. I know you've been keeping the powder dry, So thank you for bringing this to us as a really interesting one. Okay. [00:17:37] Andrew: right. Well, why don't we move on to our theme? [00:17:41] George: So I think this is in particular to PFP projects larger 10,000 pieces that are put together [00:17:48] by, you know, a [00:17:50] developer group and agency. What have [00:17:52] you proceeds or a Dow certainly. Now [00:17:56] look, money is made. Where does that freaking money [00:17:59] go? Like hard and fast. It goes to a wallet. So whoever has the keys to those wallet [00:18:05] has that [00:18:05] money. [00:18:06] So technically you could just run away with. [00:18:10] So, how do you start [00:18:12] from there is like where, where does the money go and how can you tell where the [00:18:15] money might go? [00:18:18] Andrew: Yeah, I think. this is a good question because I mean, we've got a lot of projects that talk about building a community and they raise a of funds and it's not always apparent. How much, or, You know, at all, will be spent to build that community. And we've certainly seen a lot of rogue projects where, you know, someone really just takes, it, takes The, ease, shuts it down. [00:18:37] We've also seen a lot where it's completely normal And open that the creators are taking a large percentage of the mint proceeded. Right away for themselves as if that's, you know, the the payment. And, you know, it's a concern that we've talked about here before, when you're getting paid a lot upfront, it really disincentivizes you to continue working and to build towards something bigger, you know? [00:19:03] And I think Uh, you know, we've seen something different in a project that George brought recently in the little nouns. Um, the, now this is? a project put out by nouns Dow, and both announced out with day, but that's all pooled into a joint, uh, joint account where all this ease is pulled up. [00:19:23] And then the doubt owners, any of the NFT owners can decide how to use that. Uh, one of the projects they spun up recently, he is this little announce, the Middleton hounds Dow, little now project that is meeting one every 15 minutes. And now they're raising funds from this. Now this is also going into a pool. [00:19:39] So this is really interesting. I think in that, you know, where this is going, it's more of buying into a collective, um, collective that. [00:19:47] gets to decide then how to use these funds. Do we know where it is? You can see it. And everybody gets a say in how those are you. [00:19:57] George: That's totally true. And that, that problem of taking that lump sum up front, and like, what incentivizes you as that continued percent of sales. Right? So that's the other side of like, where does it youth go So you have these two, you have one big moment of mint And ideally human doubt and all of those proceeds kind of roll into the bank. And then how does the, the transactions daily so you can get, I think it's max, what can you take up to 10% is what is the maximum limit on. What you can designate open, see, to give you as a percentage of a cut of any future transaction, or is it higher than that? Somewhere in there. [00:20:35] Andrew: I'm not sure, actually, it's probably around that. [00:20:38] George: So you have those two moments, uh, money up front, which is like, you know, that's, that's the big nut. And then ongoing, I see it more common saying, and then every future sale, half of it will go to charity or half of it will go to that or we'll do these other things. And that. presupposes that people are that they're going to be transactions, right? [00:20:56] Cause if there's no transactions, There's, there's no money in the door. And I think that has been one of the issues that we have seen with the long-term value of access, tokens, tokens that give access to analytics platforms you have a development team, developing things. and they're, you know, they have an update next week in one month and in two months, but the big amount of that came in was. [00:21:21] When people initially bought that. So there's this problem of you know, follow the, money on how that will sustain into a developer over time. If those are not changing hands, because people are just using the tool. There's, there's a question mark there. I see This comes back to also just frankly trust. [00:21:40] And what you're doing is saying does this person plan to be with the project or even if they do, and maybe they don't. And they're like, look, it's very clear. Uh, it was a Nazi it's like taking this money and like, you get art, I have money. Future utility is on you. it's right there. [00:21:56] It's right there in the in the logic. Um, but I think for a lot. of PFP projects, And the, I get a little suspicious. I get a little nervous when I see large percentages being tagged into future transactions without like, the utility. Like, if you're going to say, all right, you have open seat, 2.5% of the cup. [00:22:17] If you're gonna be taking 10%, the big question is how has that money that you get going to increase the utility marketability secondary value. Of the project or is it just going to line your pockets in perpetuity? That's a trigger to me and be like, this is, this is a cash grab and maybe it's done under the veil of all. [00:22:40] I don't want people to be Transferring around, so I'm setting it high to make sure it doesn't move a lot. And you're like, Hmm. I, uh, I'm, I'm concerned when that, sort of thing happens. Also. Funny thing about that percentage is that even though it's [00:22:53] like, quote unquote written to the contract, it doesn't. It's more of a guideline than a rule, like platforms don't have to follow that [00:23:02] percentage allocation. Actually, even though it's in the [00:23:04] contract open, see is honorable. That's used to do it, but there are [00:23:07] platforms that you can go to that don't honor the creator [00:23:12] fee. I think it's called in contract. they just don't write it into the, the signing of that contract from that piece. Transferring another question for me that comes with. [00:23:22] What happens if I trade that board aid for some, you know, other, other ape or [00:23:28] other things, how does that, how does that happen in my paying it fee? Am I not? [00:23:34] Andrew: Yeah, that's a good question. You know, I think that there's, that's something that's going to come up obviously as this, uh, new trading I think as A trading platform comes to be, you know, we'll have to have that, that do you, I dunno how to creators get paid, you know, but I think in general, maybe we're seeing sort of a shift in how people want to. [00:23:53] Uh, what the east to be or where they want it to go. When it goes into a wallet that is controlled by, you know, people from the community, you know, I assume it's a multisignature wallet. I haven't looked, um, particularly much into the mound stout model, but I think people there's been a lot of tension on announced out for a reason recently. [00:24:14] Um, and I part of it is that that little nouns, uh, project meeting, but people also coming to a realization that, um, you know, maybe that. A, uh, a model that some other projects should be I'll say it's really been fun inside of the little nouns, like part of that they're trying to figure out how to spend the money. and there's like, I dunno, like 30, 40 eats we're talking about and they continue, to to generate because as an ongoing basis, every 10th now, Goes to the Dow And every like 11th goes to the nouns proper now, and there's talks about like, oh, maybe we should buy a noun. [00:24:48] George: So we get like rights. Maybe we should do marketing. Maybe we should do more, uh, donations to charity. Like there are actual considerations of how you guide these funds and it is a you know, it's doing well right now. Um, And you know, might be hopefully not my pick of the year, but it is. was a good pick. [00:25:11] Uh, [00:25:11] Andrew: Yeah. I noticed [00:25:12] George: also have though, related to this like how the proceeds are used and sort of once the proceeds are done, that initial sale is done. It's on the the interest in passion And reputation of the creators to continue, right. That there has to be extra energy. uh, you know, shout out to since you brought us that one, that was, that was a very good one. And they had this amazing Twitter thread where they just talk about how they launched in July of 2021, some fanfare, they just had general PFP And they just, it was collapsing. They just, utility. They're trying to be comics. and they're like, look, we're financial folks Like we know markets like. it And instead of watching yet a new thing, they brought this thing sheer will and reputation, and started churning out actual daily posts that are, very helpful and interesting hot takes on the [00:26:05] market. And also now just delivered, uh, the, the [00:26:09] wreck, uh, the Rex guy [00:26:10] drop. [00:26:11] And so, you know, that's an example of like, they weren't getting paid at And so you have to think about that. I think with, you know, how these [00:26:17] proceeds are you There is extrinsic intrinsic here. [00:26:20] And once the dollars, sorry, sorry. Dirty Fiat. Once the Eve dries up the passion has to kick in And I've been [00:26:30] really impressed with how those folks have Have turned it around over there. [00:26:37] Andrew: Yeah, I think that's a good point. you know, I think we've, we've seen some other projects with Freemans recently, and we've seen these in the past and You know, those are, that's another one where. Yeah, I guess you are really want to continue trading. If you're really looking at only getting paid based on, uh, based on a percent of transactions. [00:26:55] So I think that's a good thing, you know, we've seen, we've seen a lot of inferences. Really get up there. And I think any, any mint that is especially high is, you know, it doesn't mean don't do it, but it does mean, you know, they earned the right to do that? Have they earned the trust and will they, you know, you know, I don't know, will they continue to work at it to, to add value? [00:27:23] You know, it's something that, you know, you've really got to keep in when it's a high, mid price. [00:27:27] George: I'm afraid of making any absolute statements, but right now you can hold me to this one. I'm really going to stay away from Hyman prices. I'll just be honest. [00:27:36] If, if, [00:27:37] X copy can't hold value for a [00:27:40] mint price. The arguably well-known names in the game, then I'm, I'm really, I'm not going to be traveling too far over 0.2 weeks for mint. And especially in that, market right now, like in hotter markets. Sure. but until the next moon, birds comes along And we see it coming and we're like, very clearly you just try to do your best to get in that white list And you know, good luck. [00:28:04] But otherwise it's It's a very sharp [00:28:08] market out there. I'll say. [00:28:10] Andrew: Absolutely. Yeah. I'm definitely watching my trades a lot closer right now because, uh, I've noticed things quickly if, if they don't have much history or even if they do, in some case, this is. [00:28:22] George: Yeah. Quick note, a little alpha here for the DGN, since they did the [00:28:27] a D E G E N Z. Uh, they did do that drop in snapshot [00:28:32] already. The price tends to drop after that, but I don't [00:28:35] think the value of this community is going away. And it might be an interesting [00:28:39] time to just keep your eye on that floor. it's currently hovering And it may drop a little bit more [00:28:45] Andrew: looking at. It was up to almost half anyth by the way. So it's fluctuating, definitely worth keeping an eye on. [00:28:52] George: the problem is I don't want to sell mine. I need This is the whole problem. Like, oh shoot. I should've got two. and it's the same thing with low now. And I'm like, I can't sell it. Oh no. And now I have this like heartbreak of watching this thing right
