João Graça, Co-founder and CTO of language operations platform Unbabel, joins SlatorPod to talk about the present and future of large language models (LLMs) and their broad impact across all things translation and localization.First, the CTO explains how Unbabel was founded to address language barriers for people using services like Airbnb, combining MT with human validation to improve translation quality.João believes that LLMs are quickly replacing neural MT models as much more R&D is going into LLMs vs NMT. He highlights that LLMs can handle more complex tasks like automatic post-editing, source correction, and cultural adaptation, which were previously difficult to achieve with traditional models.He also tells the backstory of the company's decision to develop TowerLLM. João shares how Unbabel's approach involves using open-source LLMs, fine-tuning them with multilingual data, and applying techniques like retrieval-augmented generation to improve translation quality in production settings.Despite the advancements, João acknowledges that human intervention is still necessary for high-stakes translation tasks.The podcast concludes with the hiring environment for AI talent and the future directions for LLM development, with João expressing optimism about the continued progress and potential of these models.

The Money of Mine team had a blast digging into 3 peculiar stories today – a junior mining company doing a share buyback, the wide world of vanadium and the old Nifty mine. But, before we tucked into these stories, we had to share with the Money Miners a piece of poetry that was written for us. We can assure you that this one is well worth a listen. On recent episodes we've covered some pretty curious corporate behaviour, and European Lithium (EUR.asx) was worthy of discussion by being one of the rare ASX-juniors that have bought back its own stock. Matty then delved into Neometals' (NMT.asx) offtake agreement, and naturally that led to us having a dive into the entire vanadium market. This included looking at both Australian Vanadium (AVL.asx) and Technology Metals (TMT.asx) projects. To round off the show, we shared our thoughts on both of Cyprium's (CYM.asx) recent financing rounds as they look to restart the old Nifty copper mine. All Money of Mine episodes are for informational purposes only and may contain forward-looking statements that may not eventuate.

Dr Jenny King , Co-Director at the Center on Trauma and Adversity Associate. Professor at Case Western University, neurobiologically-informed doctor of social worker, therapist consultant, and author and I sit down for an intimate conversation on trauma and somatics, breathwork, and more. As a trauma specialist deeply interested and trained in the neurosequential model of therapeutics (NMT) developed by Dr. Bruce Perry as well as traumatic stress in the breath, Dr. Jenny King has developed techniques that work for her clients, and for herself. She's a big believer in amassing easy, accessible tools we can use daily to bring our nervous systems in balance. As we discuss more fully in this interview, there is no magic practice that works ALL the time for ALL the people. What works for you one day might not be as effective as the next. After all, she explains, we are a complex person, full of all that brought us to this moment, which is also unique. Dr. Jenny and I also explore how we collectively, but uniquely (weird, right?!) experienced the trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic trauma,and how, frankly, it's not over. While there's been a cultural push to bury our heads in the sand and not look at how this affected us—whether because loved ones became ill or died, or because our way of life so radically changed then and now. As humans, we are widely adaptable which is amazing, but sometimes we adapt to hide from difficult emotions. And, collectively, we've done a pretty damn good job of that. But we are experiencing the consequences of that collective head in the sand. Dr. Jenny and I explore what we can do to move from this collective malaise to health using those easily accessible tools that work so well—the breath, movement, being vulnerable and sharing our truth with others we trust and love. We get curious about where we are, and really see it and experience so we can learn from it and move on, growing all the while.I know you'll love this conversation with Dr. Jenny King, and you'll want to know more.Find out more about Dr. Jenny King:Web: https://drjennyking.comInsta: @drjennykingFacebook: @drjennykingFind out more about Melissa and The Fully Mindful:Coaching with Melissa–Book a free, no-strings attached call to find out how embodied coaching and breathwork can help you uncover your worth, discover who and where you want to be, and catapult you into your purpose:Book a Free 20 Minute Call with Melissa

Nic McMahon, CEO of United Language Group (ULG), joins SlatorPod to talk about the language service provider's (LSP) mission in connecting language and culture to create meaningful outcomes.Nic recounts his journey in the language industry, from junior project manager at SDL to ascending to the role of CEO of ULG. He highlights ULG's goal to go beyond translation services and prioritizing outcomes, cultural connectivity, and bridging gaps for better accessibility and engagement.The CEO explains that one specific area driving demand for ULG is the welfare cycle of non-English speaking communities, where the LSP aims to ensure access, equality, transparency, safety, and privacy in their language services. When working with municipalities and private sector healthcare providers in the US, Nic emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural influences within the target audience's network. Nic shares that HIPAA is a significant factor in the healthcare industry, particularly in relation to translation services, and is intertwined with transparency and patient safety.Nic discusses how ULG uses workflow automation, translation memory, and call management technology to help remove manual processes and improves the efficiency of translation and interpreting cycles. AI and machine translation have seen rapid adoption in recent years, with AI-driven neural machine translation (NMT) being used in 60% of projects at ULG.The pod rounds off with ULG's outlook, where they are particularly interested in leveraging AI, such as optical character recognition, language recognition, and NMT to enhance outcomes and engagement.

In this week's SlatorPod, we are joined by Christian Federmann, Principal Research Manager at Microsoft, where he works on machine translation (MT) evaluation and language expansion.Christian recounts his journey from working at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence under the guidance of AI pioneer Hans Uszkoreit to joining Microsoft and building out Microsoft Translator.He shares how Microsoft Translator evolved from using statistical MT to neural MT and why they opted for the Marian framework.Christian expands on Microsoft's push into large language models (LLMs) and how his team is now experimenting with NMT and LLM machine translation systems. He then explores how LLMs translate and the role of various prompts in the process.Christian discusses the key metrics historically and currently used to evaluate machine translation. He also unpacks the findings from a recent research paper he co-authored investigating the applicability of LLMs for automated assessment of translation quality.Christian describes how Microsoft's custom translator fine-tunes and improves the user's MT model through customer-specific data, which degrades more general domain performance. He shares Microsoft's approach to expanding its support for languages with the recent addition of 13 African languages. Collaboration with language communities is an integral step in improving the quality of the translation modelsTo round off, Christian believes that the hype around LLMs may hit a wall within the next six months, as people realize the limitations of what they can achieve. However, in a year or two, there will be better solutions available, including LLM-enhanced machine translation.

As the days become longer, there's a slight chill in the air. We begin to wrap ourselves in fleece blankets, long socks, and light candles. Maybe we start to miss or recreate the traditions and memories of our loved ones if we're not spending time with them. Maybe we're searching for the perfect gift to bring a smile to someone's face or we're beginning to brainstorm for the upcoming year. No matter your plans or festive ideas, I invite you to reflect on your year and celebrate & spread the cheer around all of your previous small wins of 2022.

Suicide Ideation Suicide Awareness September is National Suicide Awareness Month and I wanted to bring this episode to the listeners around the globe. Suicide is twice as high as homicides and one of the leading cause of deaths in the US. The numbers increased in the early 2000s and only keep climbing due to traumas such as job loss, stress, and violence. Today we will look at the SI and how bring overall awareness to support those who may have lost someone to suicide or to those that may struggle with suicide ideation. What is suicide & suicide ideation? What are the symptoms SI & can it be diagnosed and prevented? How does trauma increase suicidal ideation? What does support look like for individuals with SI and those that has lost a loved one to suicide? Quotes “One day, you'll wake up and things won't hurt as bad. You'll be able to remember the good things about your friend and not just the end. For me, that's when I knew I was finally able to move on.” – Kristin Svinth “A person never truly gets over a suicide loss. You get through it. Day by day.

Friends - join me for a discussion with Dr.  Bruce Perry where we talk about all-things trauma, relationships, meaningful medicine, how to begin tough conversations and the importance of this work.Dr. Perry is the Principal of the Neurosequential Network, Senior Fellow of The ChildTrauma  Academy and a Professor (Adjunct) in the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the  Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago and the School of Allied Health,  College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria Australia. Over the last thirty years, Dr. Perry has been an active teacher, clinician and researcher in children's  mental health and the neurosciences holding a variety of academic positions. His work on the impact  of abuse, neglect and trauma on the developing brain has impacted clinical practice, programs and  policy across the world. Dr. Perry is the author, with Maia Szalavitz, of The Boy Who Was Raised As  A Dog, a bestselling book based on his work with maltreated children and Born For Love: Why  Empathy is Essential and Endangered. Dr. Perry's most recent book, What Happened to You?  Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey, was released  in 2021. Dr. Perry has conducted both basic neuroscience and clinical research. His neuroscience research  has examined the effects of prenatal drug exposure on brain development, the neurobiology of  human neuropsychiatric disorders, the neurophysiology of traumatic life events and basic  mechanisms related to the development of neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. His clinical  research and practice has focused on high-risk children. This work has examined the cognitive,  behavioral, emotional, social, and physiological effects of neglect and trauma in children,  adolescents and adults. This work has been instrumental in describing how childhood experiences,  including neglect and traumatic stress, change the biology of the brain – and, thereby, the health of  the child. His clinical research over the last twenty years has been focused on integrating emerging principles  of developmental neuroscience into clinical practice. This work has resulted in the development of  innovative clinical practices and programs working with maltreated and traumatized children, most  prominently the Neurosequential Model©, a developmentally sensitive, neurobiology-informed  approach to clinical work (NMT), education (NME) and caregiving (NMC).

Is this the number two number the second time, this big conferences happening? Uh, second time in about six months, but no, they've had it. I think it's a. Conference. They actually were doing these pre pre pandemic and everything at one point. [00:00:20] So I guess technically but yeah, they did the last one in November next one coming up, uh, end of June. So pretty soon as, uh, as this is released I will be heading out there you know, hopefully. Hopefully we'll have good things to report, but we're going to look ahead a bit and see what we think may happen. [00:00:41] You know, it is a big event for the NMT space. Yeah. It is huge. And we've got, you know, certainly we'll have you there. So you'll do some live reporting actually. No, you'll just let us know what happened. I think it's just really hard to actually run around with a microphone and do stuff. When you're at a conference speaking as somebody who's tried to do that in the past. [00:01:01] People are busy and you want to talk about stuff. There's apparently 1200 speakers at this thing. So I think if I just turn my phone on, I can just start recording people and I'll ask a question and pretend like they're answering me. I'll get us out there. Hey. Yeah. This is a random from a, all about affordable NFTs question for you. [00:01:22] Again, that's all about afforded that's great stickers. We don't know, but we don't even have. I think if our audience gets to what we, Hey, we passed our hundredth episode. Congratulations. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not releasing any more. We're done. This is just us talking to each other. Okay. I think that's, that's what it was for the good for the first 50 or so anyway. [00:01:48] Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, yeah, no plans, no plans for drop yet. When we, our audience gets big enough, well, we'll reward people in the discord somehow. Alrighty. What is the news? All right. Yeah, news. We've got, so there's optimism, token drop. The airdrop is live, uh, launched a couple of days ago. We had mentioned that they had releasing information on this. [00:02:12] You could check a little while ago. This has actually come out. There was big demand for it. Some people were able to sort of get ahead of the launch or Buckhead of when they publicly launched this and a claim theirs and sell a bunch right away. So, you know, in the short term that hurt the price. There's also been some, uh, some discussion about what's going to happen here with further airdrops. [00:02:32] If you'll remember, we discussed this in the past that this is the first airdrop, they haven't announced exactly how many they're going to do, but I think they said this is 5% of the total The total number of tokens. And I believe that 14% will be airdropped. So they're still going to do more there's discussion now, if they will, or if somebody proposed in the, uh, the governance form that anybody that sold immediately would not be eligible for the future rounds. [00:03:00] You know, there's some discussion. About that, uh, you know, both sides. So, you know, I think that whether they go that way or not, or just, you know, you would just give it to people that are holding it at the time. You know, I think there's potential to still get more airdrops ad out of this. You know, as we've just talked about optimism a little bit, they it's another. [00:03:19] Ethereum, roll-up a layer to Ethereum network that allows for faster transactions, fast, cheap transactions. There's, uh, I I've used it a bit. You know, I was getting ready for the airdrop year. Uh, you know, and I think that there, that. It sounds like this will be the first of a few potential, uh, potential layer, two airdrops. [00:03:39] But certainly the first, uh, our first, uh, couple of their airdrops, so that's been big, you know, definitely adds, uh, some liquidity to the space and, uh, give some people some, you know, some ease to play or, you know, I'm sorry, some OT to vote with. Yeah, cool. I got to go check to see if, uh, if I got any, I move money through, but probably not enough to make a meaningful difference, but, uh, I'll go take a look. [00:04:02] What I will say is a lot of these drops have gotten much sharper in terms of stopping farmers with various things in place. So I'll just be honest. I moved money into it and I moved money out of it. I wasn't using the optimism network. And so I'm not expecting very much. I think those are, those are becoming harder to sort of game. [00:04:22] And they have to really like, if you're going to go actually earn the drop for anything coming up and to see that like any of these like Twitter threads that are like, oh, and then do this, do this, do this. Like you actually have to go in and seams use the platform, vote, participate in the discourse. [00:04:36] Let's your contract actually hit a few things in the network. So, yeah, optimism had a few different criteria when they did theirs. They are a few different options of how you are options of ways to get into it. I guess, eligibility criteria. One was that you had, that you had used any other layer too. So I think you should be eligible even through your polygon use since you've used that fairly heavily. [00:04:57] Then anyone that's voted on a. Uh, on a, uh, by the governance forum in the discord, I'm sorry, in the Ethereum world. And I believe gnosis signers. So, you know, that's a little different, if you have signed on a gnosis contract, then he signed her on a multisig, uh, transaction that will also qualify. [00:05:20] So the RF, a handful of different ways that they've tried to, uh, reward people. PR not only just optimism users, I think they are trying to, to build a network. And I shouldn't say that it was not from the optimism team that suggested that optimism, people that sold the token, uh, the airdrop right away would not get the, uh, the token drop. [00:05:40] So, you know, there's no nothing official about that. You know, I think that there, if you go and use it and can find, you know, ways to use it authentically, you know, will be able to. To qualify for that next round. But you know, like George said, it is getting a lot more complicated. Actually we have another article here. [00:05:57] I've got a link here for, uh, top five airdrops and how to get them. So this is from Bankless, uh, you know, they've been, they've been pretty on top of the airdrops it's one that I looked at, uh, towards the beginning of the year. Uh, they had mentioned optimism at that point. You know, that a few others that have definitely worked out a hot protocol. [00:06:17] They've got one I believe coming up. It sounds like maybe the out, by the time we were listening to this one. So go check out. This article they got open in here is, uh, number one, the open protocol, O P Y N. Uh, let's see, what else has mentioned. I think they've got across protocol. They've got Mehta masks. [00:06:36] So if you have, uh, if you've done exchange. In Metta, mass, you know, gone from ether to USB-C or something like that. You may be eligible there. Uh, they've got Zuora, that's an NFC marketplace. I'm not exactly sure of what the, uh, what the specific use cases for the marketplace. And then they also mentioned that the layer two ecosystems. [00:06:58] So that being that including optimism Lot of others there as EK sing start where arbitrage them, you know, these, they've also gone through some of the, the things that you can do to qualify yourself with, you know, keeping in mind that these protocols are getting much smarter about how they handle. [00:07:17] These airdrops trying to make it so you can't farm them, use a whole bunch of wallets. You see that a lot in the past. So I think that's great to see that in general, it will be going to less fake people and more one-to-one users. Yeah. What I'd say is the, if a lot of this is like, oh my gosh, this is so many different things. [00:07:35] Throw a dart at one that doesn't have a coin yet coming out and just dig in right through. But Ethan, there, you can move. You can just move your needs to that's it. Move your, you look around, participate. You know, buy a thing, flip a thing, immediately, show transactions, like, just learn it. I think this is important because it's going to hopefully incentivize people that are like, kind of doing this on the side. [00:08:01] Like we all have different jobs and shit we do during the day. And then actually then the, like your side households night households, like this is a good way to say, like, okay let me go learn about a thing by moving money in. And you're going to get rewarded in terms of learning. And then you can go buy one of those pointless JPEGs that we talk about every day. [00:08:20] That's right. So you can see your, see your tokens that way, right? Oh, absolutely. You got elaborate. [00:08:25] All right. What else we got in the news? We've got, oh, that's right. We've got Kanye west. Who has been out around saying no to the NFTs for a while. Now he has, uh, filed for some trademarks of metaverse and NFL trademarks. Seems like someone has convinced him that there, there may be some dollars dollar signs over there worth getting. [00:08:47] So, uh, you know, not that I think Connie may be motivated in that way, but, uh, you know, He'll bring some attention to the space. Yeah. You know, from convictions, loosely held famously held up. I build things in the real world. I don't dare do this. Drops it on Instagram drops. The mic walks away less than six months later. [00:09:08] Yeah. Aping into getting all his easiest names. Uh, another eith idea, Yves name, address idea on the last celebrity alternative names, all of those sort of celebrities are going to be rolling in if they haven't already. Especially the ones that are claiming they're not like, come on, go get it. [00:09:26] Maybe Jim carried out Eve looks like he's active. He probably already grabbed that one. Jim Carey became an NFT collector, bought a one-on-one on super rare. And, uh, it was a steam relative fee sizable purchase. I believe. Let's see. It was 20. Uh, this was a piece called devotion by Ryan Koopmans. So interesting here is that he chose to mean it's a pretty big splash to go with your first, uh, NFP as a one-on-one 28th purchase on, on super rare, you know, regardless of what you have, you know, getting into the space takes a, uh, I dunno, it takes some getting used to it, so surprised to see that as a, as an, as a first purchase, but, uh, interesting. [00:10:11] Why? Why are you surprised at that since. Uh, 28th, super rare purchased, you know, I guess it depends how you're coming at this. I think a lot of, you know, I certainly, I have a lot of super air pieces. A lot of art pieces from their 28th is a lot for anybody to make as a first purchase, I believe. When buying a JPEG, I think it's a little bit different. [00:10:30] To to understand that before you've tried it a few times and understand that you hold this in your wallet. You know, that being said, this is the first name, that public wallet. We don't know that he hasn't tried this under, you know, something that some other pseudonym or, you know, another anonymous wallet, or even that he maybe had some help from someone that had been convincing him of this, showing him the ropes for a while, or at least I hope so. [00:10:55] You know, I think it does. I think superhero has been somewhat. Over the past year as PFPs and these collections have really dominated the space and super rare. I think it's starting to get a little more attention now as a, as a platform for one-on-one art for, uh, for some of the higher end art pieces. [00:11:18] A I don't know didn't, you know, not these just JPEGs that are. Pictures of, you know, a lot of different variations of pictures and nothing wrong with those. I think they can be good art, but they aren't necessarily the same thing that art collectors are generally looking for. Yeah. I think there's kind of some intelligence of buying a one-on-one because you are the floor. [00:11:40] There's no like, oh gosh, what a dumb mistake. You're like, it's mine, it's worth a million, 1,000,008. I just listed. Okay. Also I think with, with his obviously like Brandon cachet, he's got the ability to kind of really know, you know, Ryan Koopmans maybe a bit more and add cache to the overall artists and, you know, not that he needed because he's got some amazing, uh, amazing work on, on super rare. [00:12:03] It's uh, it's not dumb. I will say that because you are a market, this is Stockholm based photographer. By the way, I have had heard of him looking at his art a little bit more. Definitely go check it out. It's get some cool pieces. You know, he good looking stuff. Nowhere near affordable. No, don't look at it in that respect. [00:12:22] I was just looking at if there was a play with, uh, with anything else that's created now, there's no, there's no affordable flat breasts. All right, everyone. Move on. [00:12:28] All right in the, I guess, one other news thing, news item here, we've got that a Florida art dealer was arrested for selling some fake Boskiet, uh, pieces as NFTs. This was a well seemingly a real art gallery selling these NFTs on authorized. Good to see it. You know, we know that there's a lot of, a lot of copies out there. [00:12:56] Glad there's somebody, somebody working to crack down on some of this. Yeah. It's, you know, it's just showing you the laws paying attention and there's a lot of scammers out there and, you know, double check, triple check. Constantly, I don't know. I think a lot of folks in the ENA world that have been here for more than six months are getting hardened and so hopefully less, less likely to get. [00:13:19] I hope so. Yeah. And you know, I just know there's a lot more coming in and ghetto is be careful. [00:13:25] All right. Well, I think, oh no, we, we I've been looking for an affordable, here's what I think we did the shopping list last time. Uh, I think I went with moon, birds and avatar, not blue moon. Unless moon birds buys moon cats. You started what? I did hear someone talk about that. That was me. I just talked about it just now. [00:13:51] Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah. No, this is not financial investment. So I brought on two projects. Uh, last time I say, let's challenge ourselves for the shopping list. Like what's in, what's in your sort of like watch list right now. All right. We can go back to this, you know, and, uh, let's see. I. Well, what am I watching right now? [00:14:09] What do, I mean, I've got a lot on my list that I have mentioned here in the past, you know, at this point, although I'm not buying more of the, uh, Alison hace is, you know, those were on my list wrong until they got way out of range for me. Let's see. Well, I'm still watching few oceans, but I think I've mentioned those. Yeah, I mean, you mentioned. Yeah, we'll get to that in a bit, but also they're, they're coming out in the F and F T N Y C. And I think you mentioned that they were also at, you know, the Gary B's conference. So I didn't see a big pump after that, but it's been, it's been inching up. [00:14:45] It's not a bad one to keep an eye on. I think we've mentioned that before. W well, if you've got someone to kick us off here, kick us off list. I am watching, I keep mentioning. But I didn't say for last time, my shopping list is and I'm watching for that Florida drop post wrecked guy. It had an initial bump somehow, and it, uh, it definitely moves around quite a bit, but I want to get this, uh, my, my absolute definite buyer price is 0.3. [00:15:12] If this thing hits 0.3, I'm definitely buying another. So the network gives you access to their, you know, discording community and clearly you get drops. They're continuing to invest, uh, in in and out. We're going to, it's the original D Jen's not the, uh, the version two that they created. So that's, that's one on my list, uh, for sure. [00:15:34] Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, I have two of those now. I actually was able to pick one more of the 0.3 when people were trying to make this work, this is what people are trying to sell to get the, uh, the rec guy. So I was happy to get that and I still have one rec I probably should have sold that, but that was, I was thinking that I, I liked the DJs as the overlooked play. [00:15:55] They're well-recognized getting a lot of attention. So here's one that's on my list and this is one that you actually I think you have this, and we've talked about this before, but it is the pod Gans by Tinder van Arman. So this, we each have one of these, but you still have one. Is that right, George? [00:16:12] I do. You know, I'll make it a gift of whenever I sell it, it'll guarantee that the price will go up and that's when you can use your, your indication. I am the harbinger of the price about to go up whenever I start. Right? So this is the floor right now. It's at 0.4, four. So, you know, it's not. Super cheap, but this is also a very thin floor. [00:16:35] It goes from 0.4, four to 0.49. The next one is 0.639 and then 0.7. So in four listings, we go from 0.4, 4.7. I think this is still a, a platform that I like that it's just one of the first three on this platform. Uh, one of the first three projects on the brain drop platform. Sorry, I was blanking on that name for a second. [00:16:56] But I think the platform will be around for. A while and that it will, will deem value over time. Pindar is a respected artist. So it's one that I'm looking at. I've made a couple of bids, nothing coming in quite yet, but it's, it's really quiet over there, which, uh, which I like as a buyer, it looks like, okay, so one sold two days ago was the last one. [00:17:17] And then five days ago, six days ago, 12 days ago. So four sales in 12 days is pretty quiet, I would say. So that's, that's one that I'm looking at, keeping an eye on. Yeah, you have to be careful because you have to, you just a lot more patient, a lot more game of patients there. And it's, it's hard to tell if the overall market is more about holding or more about folding right now, but I agree that's a mighty thin floor. [00:17:40] I mean, yeah, that could move quickly. What are we getting out? That 4.3 was the mint. That was a 0.1 minute. Actually we did a 0.1. That's good. Yeah, I liked it. So that was, it did get up over, over one eighth at one point. You know, I don't expect it to get up there immediately, but you know, like I said, I think if you're, if you're patient and you can buy at the right price, I hadn't thought of that. [00:18:05] That's a good that's not bad. That's not bad at all. As if I needed another thing on there. Okay. I remember add more to your watch list. Don't jump, don't jump at prices. That, that don't make sense. Just find another project to look at. If you're getting too, too close to jumping a little too high. [00:18:26] Remember what else? I will say another one on my watch list is dead fellows. Now this is pretty high still. But dead fell is, was, you know, sort of, it had a, had a peak of, you know, it was kicking up at like four and a half Yves at one point it's down at 1.27 and. Pretty strong community, female, a female artist who's, you know, definitely known in the space, had a strong following. [00:18:56] I mean, what else could you add about, you know, it's one of those 10,000 PFP, 6,000 owners, so large owner distribution, and it's just, you know, it's running out of steam in a downmarket and we'll say I almost even added. Dead fellows. And to my, my list of potential winners from NFTE NYC, I know that Betty from, uh, the artists Betty with a, you know, Eve of course simple for me is speaking at, uh, At NFTE NYC on the main stage at radio city music hall. [00:19:28] So that should have a pretty big audience. I think that has potential from, I don't know a ton about the project or the Otter artists specifically, but she's very well known in this space and seems very well liked and well-respected fully doxed. And then around the space, I think it's going to bring some more attention to the, to that collection and, you know, I think that's what. [00:19:49] You know of these, you know, like you said, we're starting to see some separation of the winning projects and what the, on the ones that are going to be around here for, for at least the foreseeable future. And that, that does, that's starting to look like a good potential buy. What is the, what's the floor on that, George? [00:20:06] I think I called it at 1.2. Yeah, 1.2, 1.3. And, you know, there's, there's sales every single day happening in and around it, a back door into this also is, you know, we mentioned Ash chapter two, metamorphosis, you know, technically Betty's got pieces on there right now that are actually at like 0.2 or 0.1. So that's like an affordable play, uh, for yeah. [00:20:32] Creator dead fellows. Yeah. So she's got an animated on Ash chapter two and I'll include the link in the show notes. I just want to be careful though about. Oh, someone's on the stage. It's going to make them pump. Like I never actually see that come to bear. It just, I, I wouldn't do it as a, I certainly wouldn't look at it as a short-term pump play. [00:20:48] I think it's more about the space starting to respect the collection as a, I think that's right. Respect and recognize artists Capitol. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, you know, you know, unfortunately it seemed that a lot of the, sort of the, the women PFP projects, you know, world women rise has not been just good and they don't, you know, I got to say they don't feel super connected to the NFT space overall, where. [00:21:19] Yeah. I mean, I see that, but he's posting, you know, regularly interacting with the community and, you know, even speaking at this event, you know, that, that says a lot to me. Yeah. I mean, I agree over time, someone is willing to like continue to push and like recently detoxed herself as well. So you know what you're getting as opposed to, you know, it was, it was 20, 21. [00:21:41] It was like much more fashionable to be like, oh, we don't know there's mystery here. It's like, no, There is authenticity, mystery being trumped by authenticity of who the artist is and how they're going to align their identity with a project over time. So, uh, interesting. Yeah, I don't, I good stuff. You, so you kind of see what we're looking at and how you should have your own list. [00:22:03] You should play the game of like your side watchlist wallet. It'd be like, what if I did this? It's a fine game to play, uh, and really looking for people that have, uh, Uh, the, the projects that will have the persistence to push through the, the bear market. [00:22:19] All right. All right. Well then why don't we. Move on to our topic, looking ahead to NFT NYC, like I said, I will be heading out there. So if anybody is going to be around the New York area that, you know, let me know of course up in our discord, there are events going on all around New York for this. And I think it's kind of fun to just look ahead what we think may happen. [00:22:43] You know, what the user may emerge, you know, there's a lot of people attending things it's supposed to be about 15,000 this year. I'm not sure how much. You know, last I saw they were, they jacked the price. So I bought my ticket right away after the first blending, or maybe it wasn't right away, but like they, they did an early bird and I think I got a ticket for, you know, 150 bucks. [00:23:03] And last I saw they were like 500 and some odd. So they've, uh, recognized that people are interested. Wow. I mean good on you. Nice shit about too, right. [00:23:14] There's a podcast about that actually. Yeah, so some things I'm looking ahead to, you know, you mentioned that will be out there. I, I think that, you know, he's still a young artist. I think a lot of people don't know him. I think that there's going to be some, I don't know anything about any official plans. [00:23:27] I think there's going to be some more paint parties there. I, it seems like. Then building up some bigger collector base. I've seen that, uh, that paint collection, you know, getting some, some good buys and it, you know, it goes up and down a bit, but I think that he could be one of the kind of winners of the space that as people get a feel for the. [00:23:48] I don't know the physical connection to the pieces and actually painting there. And I think that some buzz could build around that. And again, this is nothing looking at, like we're not looking at short-term price action here. We're just trying to, to look at some of the things that need some of the, uh, I don't know, trends or ideas that could, uh, gain some steam here. [00:24:07] Yeah, it's just, it's important. I mean, I think I learned a quick lesson at that through a lot of things, but also sort of econ realizing that it's just a parade of a braid, a parade of people and there's over, it looked 15, uh, 1500 speakers, uh, at this. So just because someone's talking at this does not mean their project is about to go up and also keep that in mind when you're going to start to see, you know, as seen on NFT NYC and as a validating station. [00:24:38] There are a lot of folks that are attending and also speaking. And so keep that as that sort of validating thing in mind, I'd say, yeah, definitely 1500 speakers. You have to, basically, if you were late, you didn't, you didn't want to speak, you didn't want to apply to speak. I thought I'd go. I thought it'd be more rare this way. [00:24:58] You know, I'd be one of the few not speaking and actually on a legitimate case that you could have done a solid Dean analytics talk that people would have been like, oh, well this is just useful. Probably. Yeah. You know, and instead I used to do like getting on a stage or no, is that like, you're like, yeah, I'll pay. [00:25:15] I can't say done a whole lot of that. You know, this is, this is pretty comfortable talking to everybody, right. From right from a desk here, though. You prefer this audience of us. So talk to me about an FTE NYC. You know, we'll do a follow-up from it. What is your strategy going into this? Are you trying to hustle to get dropped? [00:25:34] Do you think? Like there's certain parties and you'd be like, oh, here's my pull-up proof of attendance. Yeah, there's a few things I'm looking at, you know, there's, there's, they have more, it seems a little bit more organized. Like we said, that there's a lot of speakers. They sent out an email today actually asking which afternoon and morning session people want to go to on the first day of this looking at the, uh, various locations that they have, but also kind of getting an idea of, of what they'll be covering. [00:26:00] So. Areas that are sports in, that are more on the investing side that are more focused on the community aspect. So I, I like that. They're trying to give some tracks to this this year. So that makes it a little easier. I was definitely jumping around between buildings relatively quickly, quickly trying to make it to from one, talk to another that started, you know, maybe 10 minutes later, but with. [00:26:27] 15 minutes walk away. Uh, so I think this will be nice that they're trying to, to put these in the same place. I don't know about the two yet. There are a ton of, of non offsite, uh, events. So I know that moon birds is doing a big one, a big event. Of course, board apes are doing a big event. I think they've rented out some huge place on the pier for the whole weekend or, you know, some fear. [00:26:53] It looks like a massive place, you know, as, uh, as of course a board apes lake to do it big. But I think, you know, I think that this will be the first time that a lot of people will get a chance to, to attend an in real life event, you know, as this is, it's the first big end, really big NFT one. Well only in a couple of months, but we know how much that means in NFG in the NFD space. [00:27:16] I think it's great. It's keeping the community engaged and connected and. Keeping the energy, uh, with, uh, the core group of committed folks that are, are going to be quintessential to building and supporting through the dip. You know, I'm looking at the program and it's kind of interesting to see how many ways they divide it up. [00:27:37] And there's general art, film, music, gaming, sports, social fashion, collector, legal ticketing, finance all with NFT tracks inside of it. So they're really starting to. To separate out and show up kind of like, this is kind of like how south by Southwest got overtaken by a south by Southwest interactive. If you're familiar with that conference and kind of what a, what a spectacle it became. [00:28:01] And I've, I've been to that a number of times it is fun and it just, it is playing fun. Do you actually end up learning anything though from like a speaker or is it just everyone pumping their bags? Yeah, that's a good, that's a good question. I mean, I don't know that how, I mean, who's getting on stage and giving away what they think is a real secret here. [00:28:18] You know, what they think some serious alpha, just a thousand of you need to know. Right. It's a lot of people, you know, finding something to save, putting themselves on the stage. Right. And I think that's, yeah, that's a lot of what it is. It's a lot of just bringing people together. I think I'm not sure that you learn a ton at this. [00:28:39] Events. I think some of the, I think probably some of the smaller events are, you know, maybe the non-male stage and looking for very specific things. If you're, you know, if you are very into film NFTs, you may be able to learn something there because there's just so little out there right now. And I think that's a chance that you can actually engage with, with people that are in the space. [00:29:03] I saw that there are many, you know, many of these stages end up being, or many of the audiences ended up being quite small with this number of speakers. So if there. Something, I think that's a potential to learn something, but yeah, otherwise you're not learning something, you know, it's, it's like taking a, uh, you know, a huge lecture course in college or something, you know, when there's a lot of people in the, in the room. [00:29:25] It's, uh, I'd say the quality goes down a bit. Yeah. Well, uh, it'll be exciting to have, uh, have you there and let us know what you let us know what you see. I'm uh, I'm eventually going to go to one of these things. I just, I I'm. Yeah. I, you know, some of the things that I'm looking forward to, I know that super rare has an art gallery out there. [00:29:45] They opened up a, uh, calling it a pop up for the summer in like the Soho neighborhood art blocks is going to be doing a big event in a Samsung building there. So I think they'll be able to have a lot of there, a lot of pieces on display that are actually moving. You know, I've certainly had a hard time finding ways to display a lot of pieces, especially ones that have movements. [00:30:05] I think, you know, I think that. These in real life events have, can still go a long way. You know, we're still gonna coming out of, of diver. Nobody was doing anything and NFTs have certainly burgeoned. During this time. We have not seen how they can be fully used to use sort of the digital and in real. [00:30:24] Uh, aspect here. I mean, with these conferences, it's very clear that it's like, it's the floating crap game where if you've got, uh, a membership to a group and you're like, where do we meet up? Or wherever that conference goes, you get this like special access to a thing is becoming more standard. I know also the Vayner Vayner sports pass folks are offering up like an event and trying to see how many people would RSVP. [00:30:44] So I don't know. Did you sell yours or. Yeah, I, I can let you want, if you want to go to the party you gotta gotta give it back though. You gotta promise to give it back. I think that's, I think I can do go there with my, with my past. Tell them to. To when, when floor and when moon tell him, I said when, when moon. [00:31:04] Yeah. I mean, it'll be interesting on the mood is at different parties. You know how people are, [00:31:08] we get a last minute notice that the party has been moved to the basement. It was a party and it's a cash bar. I think that's the perfect signal to us. Everybody have you seen, but I put my cash into the, [00:31:20] well, you take a JPEG. Here's my phone. Oh, here's a quick question. Are you going to go with your hot wallet on. I'll go with, I'll go with a, a hot wallet on my phone. Not my, not my primary wallet. Yeah, no, I don't want to use that. And you know, hopefully, you know, that's something that I'm hoping will, will change here. [00:31:40] You know? Right now we've seen some tickets tough, like, oh, here's like, here's a book, here's a situation. Right. I'm just gonna put it out there. There's going to be an eight fast getting, you need to show that you have the wall that has the eight. I needed to do something I think right now. And I think that, you know, we've got to figure something out. [00:31:55] This isn't a great system that you should have to have a, a potentially a hundred eighth, uh, ticket on your hot wallet while you go to have drinks at night with a bunch of other, Hey, I'm having a party in the middle of New York, but everyone in order to join has to have a hundred thousand dollars in cash in their pocket to walk in the. [00:32:18] Yeah, this is where they are and when they'll be there, it's certainly something I'm keeping in mind. I heard some, some stories of people, you know, you have to worry about the physical type attacks. Yes. I mean, there's, it's certainly a brute force attack you really? And when everybody realizes that there's a lot of NFP collectors there and you know, I mean that, or at a party that is, or moon bird's party, you know, everybody's holding a 28th piece to be there. [00:32:46] You know, that's something to think about. I know don't, I'd also say the bigger, I think the bigger risk is probably. Uh, people that people that really know it, you know, people that are there that can take advantage of the fact that maybe you've had a couple of too many to drink and they know how to use a Metta mask wallet, and they hold one of these and they know how to get rid of it quickly too. [00:33:08] You know, that's, there's a lot of different mistakes. You can do it on your own, but when there's a lot of savvy people around the, you know, I'm certainly going to be more careful. I don't want to, you know, if I have to have something there, I, you know, if I have to have somebody to get into. A party. I'd rather be able to show it a different way if there's a third party sort of verification thing. [00:33:29] And I, I hope that there's something like that coming along. You know, I think these NFT ticketing, I think NFT ticketing when I went last, November yellow heart was doing one of the kind of off-site events. Uh, it was in the back of verse gallery and it. It was one of the only ones that I actually saw making use of it. [00:33:47] And it was pretty good, but not great. And I think that we're going to see a lot. That come to play here. And I hope that we see some that are finding a way so that you don't actually have to carry it in your hot wallet. And maybe I don't know what the answer is, but I'm sure someone's thinking about that. [00:34:03] Well, look, I'll go out on limb and say, if you need it and you want to hold all of your X copies, squiggles and whatnot, it's like right here, you know where to find me mostly stable that just ship it or, okay. Yeah, no problem. Here we go. Uh, w you scheduled for a podcast today? Oh, oh no. [00:34:21] All right. Thanks for that. And we're excited to kind of learn more as you learn more about what's going on there.

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.

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.

People pay more to cut the line, continually driving up prices Layer 2s offer more transactions at lower costs, with enhanced security New layer 1s are not tested and proven Affordable project: The Meta Key - Collection | OpenSea https://themetakey.com/  NFT NewsRantum NFT Market Data, Cryptoslam.io NFT Headlines: Yuga Labs Sees $561 Million in Otherside Ethereum NFT Sales Within 24 Hours - Decrypt  Yuga Labs Has Refunded All Unsuccessful Otherdeed NFT Minters  Seven-Hour Solana Crash Blamed on Bots Swarming Candy Machine - Decrypt  ApeCoin to Migrate from Ethereum After "Turning Lights Off," Causes Controversy  Bad Reporting FUD from WSJ  NFT Sales Are Flatlining - WSJ  Project news: Human Park drop, Crypto Unicorn Game launch     Rough Transcript   [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs, we are talking about why NFTs need all to layer one networks, I guess, alt layer networks, not even layer one networks as part of the larger ecosystem as Ethereum becomes a bit pricey which may be a nice lead into some of our news items. How's it going, Andrew? [00:00:22] Good. Good. Yeah, I would definitely be hesitant to say that you need all wear ones, but we will get into that a bit later. Yeah. And it is a little timely with some of the new. Then going on. Of course the big news recently has been the other side or the other deeds, a land sale from Hugo labs they released, or they 100,000 plots. [00:00:47] They brought in let's say. 561 million in trading within the first few days that all sorts of records is the one day high for the most sales ever. That has been the, the big talk everywhere. And of course this mint did not go without some pickups. [00:01:05] Yeah. Th the critiques are, are many. And obviously like, look, there's going to be fun, thrown around quite a bit when it comes to this, but the gas prices spike to ridiculous levels. And I think. Peek of around to eat. So that means minting plus to eat which is, which is pretty ridiculous. And, you know, certainly burns a significant amount of Ethereum. [00:01:29] Did they quote how much at your end they've? They tracked that was like burned as a part of this transaction. [00:01:35] I saw it was over a hundred million worth, a hundred million dollars worth anyway. So yeah, so yes, it looked like initially they were going to have this be a Dutch auction. They abandoned that for some reason, the Dutch auction, the idea is that it starts at a higher price than, than most are willing to pay. [00:01:52] It drops over time. And. So you've got you don't have everybody jumping in at exactly the same time. So they abandoned that model ended up going with a flat 305 eight which was, I believe about two and a half eith at the time. That, that has fluctuated greatly since then. And both are I guess, negative, but but it's fluctuated a lot. [00:02:13] But any way that when they did abandon that, they also announced that there'd be multiple ways. Of minting so that you can mint to in the first way, if you were on the wait list you'd had to fill out the KYC form, which neither one of us had done because they had not said what this was for at the time. [00:02:31] So they did have an idea of how many there were there ended up being aren't. There were over a hundred thousand that had done the KYC. Then people were looking at how many had actually approved the contract. And I held enough, eight to mint either one or two and within two hours or so before the mint actually occurred, they or some people figured out that it was going to mint out in that first wave due to the number of wallets that had approved it. [00:02:59] And. So there were people jumping, you know, trying to jump the line, painting incredibly high gas fees because they assumed it would be worth it. That of course is you know, now factored into the cost at least on their side. But yeah, that's, it, it, it, it slowed down the entire network because any women transacting doing anythings had the same gas fees and, you know, it was for at least a few hours. [00:03:22] That it was like this. So yet really slow down the network. You go afterwards announced that it was clear that Ethereum was. Able to handle the 80 for the Hugo labs ecosystem, which you know, I think there's a lot of ways to, to say that there that is maybe faulty, but they also did create this by, they knew how many people had the wallet. [00:03:47] They knew many, many lands were available. So it seems like a supply demand issue in many ways regardless of the gas. But yes, it was over a hundred million. Sorry, burnt. They were going, or they are going to, I think they have refunded all of the unsuccessful mentors. There are many people that did not get their mince through. [00:04:06] So they have refunded that. And I guess the other part of this, they haven't announced that they need to launch their own their own layer for the ape. For all of the ecosystem. So it seems like they've maybe retraced or, you know what is it they're maybe not going to go that far right away, but there was a lot of discussion of whether they manufactured this for the purpose of announcing a new layer. [00:04:32] I don't know, you know, it's, it's hard to say that they, they could have put that all together. But it, it. Yeah, they definitely gave an example of why problems with Ethereum at times when there is huge congestion on the next. [00:04:47] Yeah, it's hard to speculate on the, you know, using it as an excuse. I don't think you needed that as a, as a narrative. Like you just say that as you want to create it in New York, there's, you know, the Ronin network out there, there is you know, flow with NBA top shop. It's like, there's very much a precedent for large networks doing this. [00:05:07] It was you know, by their own Testament, a incredibly poorly done. You know, the limitations of the net where you can't be surprised when you go outside in the rain without an umbrella and you get wet. There are limitations to the network. And if you drive an unprecedented amount of whales and to a short period of time and squeeze them on gas and they all ratchet it up, it's just a function of the, where the network is right now. [00:05:31] It will be better in a year. It'll be even better in two years, but you do that on pretty much any network it's going to have a problem. So, you know, I you know, It went poorly, you know, like that that's, that's how it goes. And you know, they, they did refund some people, but you know, right now, if I sat there and I, you know, you said it's about two, two and a half year, it costs roughly depending on what you did with ape, right. [00:05:55] For fermenting it. And then on top of that, you add the fact that you paid another two weeks in gas, like you're underwater, you're below floor price currently Flora's at 3.59. And also I w I don't know if. If I'm UGA labs, like, and I don't have, like, I don't know, fully developed game ecosystem for how all of this land is going to get used. [00:06:17] I don't know if I'd be jumping into creating an alt layer one right now. I'd be focused on how I deliver value on. [00:06:22] Yeah. And I think that actually kind of leads us to a next story here and we can get into a little more discussion of the layers, but the next story is over the weekend, we also had a Solano crash. It was down for seven hours. It was another layer, one there, where there's. There were bots forming a candy machine and a T type of thing on Solano. [00:06:42] So it crashed the whole network. So that was actually down for seven hours, not high fees, it was just unusable. So you know, that's the other side, you know, when you don't have a very stable network it can completely go down, you know, Ethereum it's, it's made to be expensive at times because. There are a lot of people that want to use it, and you have to be able to deal with that when it does happen. [00:07:02] As opposed to just having the whole network crash, [00:07:06] Yeah, it stops spots by making it prohibitively expensive to, you know, process a whole bunch of transactions in a tight, tight, tight amount of time. Yeah. And there's a difference because the word crash was being thrown around for it hearing You didn't crash. It reads gases to absurd. So Ilana [00:07:22] prices, right? I mean, it's, it's an absurd traffic jam it's and to get through it, you're going to have to pay an absurd amount. Now the difference, I guess, would be the roads. Closed. There was no getting on the roads. There was no access to roads on the Ethereum network. You couldn't do any, I mean, I'm sorry, on the salon network. [00:07:43] Yeah. Sorry, I don't want it want to make that clear on this Alonda network. There was no access to the roads, so different story there. You know, and I think you get into a little bit more of that. Let's see. Yeah, we've got this story about the A print potentially migrating away. I would say that there is, there is precedent for causing or showing people why something could be, you know, another network would be needed. [00:08:05] And that is quite the event to have a ton of eyeballs and probably worth spending a hundred million on to, to show people, look at how bad look at how much bigger we are than the Ethereum network. We completely crashed it and, you know, get people to move over to that other layer did that other and. [00:08:22] Got to look at. I don't know. I don't think that that's necessarily what was, you know, I think the idea was to make it a big event and it was, and, you know, we can see with 561 million being traded. It they've certainly succeeded in making it big now, you know, I think there's a lot more, whether it's, you know, how successful it could be, but the. [00:08:41] It's way too early to say if, if this project can be successful or not. Anyway you know, maybe that brings us to our next headline here. This is, this is quite the, the headline is all over the place here. What do you have for Joe [00:08:53] Wall street journal says NFTs are flat-lining and they do no manner of research. They were so excited to find one way to cut data in a certain odd inaccurate way that they could run this title. You just get this sense that. There are journalists just itching, traditional minded, hates tech, just itching for like, see it was all a fraud. [00:09:17] And now I can go back to the way things were. I can ignore the fact that the property layer of the internet is coming in. That, you know, blockchain is a real thing. They just can't wait for it so much. So that with no manner of diligence whatsoever, the wall street journal put out something that was so factually inaccurate and quickly. [00:09:35] That one of my favorite newsletters just broke this down so quickly, but basically saying in the article that NFTE sales are down 92% since September. And so like, they loved that, but like, frankly, they're, they're not. And if the volume on open seat hit all time high, all time highs, thanks to even what we just saw. [00:09:54] 480 million in sales volume on May 1st alone. And then like they show this chart and it's significantly high. You know, they're claiming that the number of active wallets are down 88%. The truth is that there's probably over 350,000 active wallets in the last week has been that way for 14 weeks of the last 17 weeks. [00:10:13] So it's like not decreasing at, at all. And, you know, it's It's great. When you can just look at blockchain data and say like, no, those are the numbers you say, whatever you want. Like, it's just, you know, when you get into this, like, I hate the, the narrative of fake news, but it's much harder to do that when you can pull data reports directly from from the source, it's all open. [00:10:40] Yeah, and well, it also leaves this all up for interpretation. I think that's one thing that we're struggling with right now is that all of this data can be sort of taken how you want it. Any data can really end that we don't have a lot of standards to look at. It's not like looking at. Looking at the stock market. [00:10:59] And I'm not saying that these are stocks or investments necessarily, but looking at the same everybody agreeing that these are the numbers we are going to use to gauge the health of the market. There's a lot of people that are just taking whatever they choose and, and running with it. And there are a lot of, a lot of peoples that would like to to tell the, the story of the end of the NFC and or the NMT market. [00:11:20] And. You know, and we'll find anything they can and that's, what's been done here. So it's certainly been it's been thrown around a lot. There's, I've seen some other headlines kind of I don't know, maybe playing on this one and saying that you know, trying to be more accurate with what they with what is going on. [00:11:37] So this is, this is certainly not it. And I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the reason for this is besides just trying to, to give that headline to everybody that's looking for. [00:11:49] Larry just such clickbait junk. And the joke of it also is that the largest day an open seat history just happened. Okay. Okay. Now there are points. I would write the article a different way actually. Like if I were to actually write it, I would just say like, you know, the NFT market is becoming a winner, take all extreme, you know, 1% play where it, you know, there's a hyper consolidation right now just around mega projects and an absolute sort of like shift in that direction. [00:12:18] And I could, I would have maybe parsed the data in a different way of saying like, unless you've got. Over six grand or, I mean, frankly, over like 10 grand to play, like NFTs are not for you like blue chips go up, but other things go down like they're, they're intelligent ways to write the article. If you spend more than 30 seconds looking at actual data but I don't want to give these folks any new ideas, so I'll hold back. [00:12:41] All right. Why don't we? Oh, no, you've got some project [00:12:44] Oh, I got some fun project news [00:12:46] right. Yeah. [00:12:47] we, you know, we went through and updated our, keep us. honest. And so, you know, looking around the human park project had a drop this like obelisk looking thing is kind of funny. They dropped it to all holders. We have no clue what the thing is for, but you know, it's out there. [00:13:02] It's a thing and it's showing that they're continuing to develop. And I still like that project quite a bit. It's built on the polygon network and then the crypto unicorn games. So we talked about crypto unicorn, Atlanta. You know, a while back and I will say, Yeah. [00:13:19] that was on March 4th. The gland we recommended was like, 0.17. [00:13:23] And it actually, since this launch is now hovering around 0.4 or or on 0.2 for basic, and it's really it's pretty cool. You know, there's an actual gameplay dynamic there. You know, who knows, you know, it's, it's play, it's a play to earn type of thing, but there's a whole dynamic marketplace and planting and playing around there. [00:13:41] So might be worth worth look if you haven't seen it or if you have got it. But I always, you know, I'm always thrilled when the, Hey here's a game that promised they'd make a game and they finally launched. Cause it's very hard to do that. So applause to that group and you know, it works. I logged in, I planted some random rainbow seeds and I harvest. [00:14:02] Now I've got more of them and I'm not quite sure what to do with that. [00:14:05] All right. Well, we'll move on. I've got an affordable project now. On here for us this week called the medic key. This is actually the fourth edition just came out. So this is about a year old, I believe. Cause I remember you know, now very obviously stupidly passing on minting that first one. And those are our four eighth floor. [00:14:25] This is the fourth. These are, I guess, one of the earlier utility type NFTs. The gives you access and discounts on various Properties or sorry, various places around the web. Really? In web three, they have quite a big, quite a lineup of partners. It's run by. Let's see. He's I don't know what this name is. [00:14:47] Maddie BCL blogger. Is the the Twitter name. He is. Got a big following there and has been around the space for a long time. Definitely has a good understanding, good connections there. So this is the newest the newest key here is that the floor is, I think just under 0.2, as we're looking at this what I like about it is a team been around. [00:15:09] I think you're going to continue working at this. And then it is in that utility area that we have been looking at recently, [00:15:15] Yeah. it's got this funny graphic spinning around. It looks like a souped up. technical card that as that kind of spins around. So it gives you access to just general pieces, right? Like it's like e-commerce stores, it says eligible for airdrops. [00:15:38] That's what I was trying to get at. It's quite a range of, of access and features here. It's not exactly what you would expect, not strictly web three. It's not just a, and it's certainly not just like for people that are doing minting or something like that, that a lot of different use cases here. So I think it's worth taking a look at. [00:15:55] Especially at that floor price you know, watch around. I don't know, I've been watching the floor too closely, but it's one, I'm going to start looking at a little bit more and look for maybe a good price to enter it. [00:16:07] Yeah. And again, I see what you're saying in addition one is like at four eith yeah, it's a wide range. It says, you know, potential conferences, virtual worlds in decentral end and sandbox. Clubs rooms, experiences. So it. [00:16:21] really seems like they're, you know, you're not buying art, you're buying access. And, you know, we have seen that sort of access on the rise. [00:16:27] And I liked the bet on at least something that has got a proven track record of doing this, not just like here's a brand new thing, we've got no connections, but we've got this access token. Good luck. So, you know, proven, proven pieces there. Yeah, flora 0.2 right now and yeah. Worth watching. Certainly if, you know, as each slips and maybe long tail projects kind of get overlooked this is an interesting one. [00:16:51] And you said you owned one or no? [00:16:53] I do not own one yet. I should, should note that as of now I do not own one. Just starting to look at that now. So it may change by the time it comes out. I may buy one. I've been but I have not got one as of this recording. [00:17:07] Take a [00:17:07] All right. Well, [00:17:08] Hold on. I want to see the team [00:17:10] okay, hold on. Yeah, let's [00:17:12] chase that down. the medic, he.com and they have a fully doxed team, which, you know, big check, big check mark. Yeah. [00:17:22] And they have a very large team looking at. Probably 24 employees and they they, again, they have a founder and a co-founder and these folks seem real with real names. So good. That's my other big [00:17:37] would be one improvement I would say is they could put the website on their open, see listing instead of going to [00:17:45] ended up on referable. Yeah. [00:17:46] Right. I think, I don't know if they're [00:17:49] feedback, if you're, if [00:17:50] some sort of comment here, but Well, we'll put those, we'll put that in the show notes. For folks oh, okay. Onto our theme. So as we just noted, the theory of networks have become, will become very expensive. And again, this is by design for the stability of the networks and for, you know, validating number of transactions that go on. [00:18:11] So, you know, Andrew for you, you know, why, you know, why do NFTs need this all layer, these these layer twos to, to get where we need to go versus I'd say maybe the con The counter to that, which is why not just, you know, wait for the merge, wait for the urge and wait for Ethereum to just get better over time. [00:18:30] Right. So I think that for one, we've got to refer to more of the know NFTs that need a lot of transactions, things that are used in games think that you're using transact, moving around a lot, maybe lower priced, NFTs things that are just requiring you to do a lot on chain. When you're talking about high valued NFTs things, Bunks or board apes, you know, I don't think there's a problem with those being on a theory. [00:18:56] And given that the, the fees are relatively. It's a relatively small amount of the asset percentage of asset value. Now, when you're going out to these other, these other places where you've got to where you're transacting more, and those fees are really adding up that's when you've got to find someplace else, someplace else to do these transactions and layer twos specifically Ethereum layer twos, give you give both the stability of the Ethereum now. [00:19:23] The security of the Ethereum network and the ability to transact cheaply and quickly so they can hold, they can handle many more transactions and they do this by do, by handling all the transactions on their network initially, and then rolling them up by combining them all and writing them to the Ethereum network in one batch, as opposed to. [00:19:45] Maybe a thousand transactions going through individually, they can write one transaction. So it's much cheaper by putting them all together. It's much faster and it still relies on that network. So that. That's the, that's a reserve. The way that those layer twos can actually handle it. And the reason is that these NFTs just need more. [00:20:06] They need so many transactions that it's just not feasible to be doing it on layer one, as soon as we explained what the costs getting to where they are now. [00:20:13] So to be clear, can you just name some popular layer twos that live on top of a theory? I'm just to put names on this thing. [00:20:21] Yeah, that's great. And we should Solano. I'm sorry. Solana is not one. We were talking about Solano earlier. That's eight layer one. Sorry. That was on my mind. That's another layer one. And I wanted to make that clear. That's the layer one. So as far as layer twos, now we've got polygon. We've talked about that in. [00:20:39] Slight discrepancy of whether it's a, an official layer two or not, but we'll, we'll just include that for, for intents and purposes here as a layer two on Ethereum. And it's been around for, for, I mean, pay relatively long time for these layer twos. And it it's considered pretty stable. [00:20:56] There have been some, some bugs that have been found, which is a good thing. You know, you want these networks tested and you want to find that there are things so that it is getting better over time. Another one is optimism. They we mentioned them recently. They've recently had a, they haven't had the token drop yet, but they've announced it. [00:21:15] And you can check your balance there that you have a, an NFT marketplace quixotic. It's not very popular yet. But it does make it much more feasible to do these and Ft transactions on that layer. Let's see. Some others would be arbitrary them. Zika sync, these don't ha arbitrary, arbitrary has more of a NFT marketplace. [00:21:38] Though it [00:21:39] All brains lives, right? Or do I forgot? [00:21:42] That's right. Yeah. So it's on the, we've talked about this a little bit. It's a treasure of marketplace. Magic and treasure have both had some issues, both security and team wise. So, you know, there's, aren't, you know, I think that is one thing to keep in mind. These aren't without risk. [00:22:00] They have less risk in my mind than, than layer ones where They really haven't been tested in any way. I shouldn't say in any way, but in any large scale, Way over a long period of time. That makes me nervous. These layer twos. I'm not saying that you don't have to feel a little nervous about these. [00:22:22] We've definitely seen cross some cross chain hacks but they do offer more security and keeps it a lot closer to, to eat. Which personally, I just prefer in general, I think that. That that will hold a lot more value over time. Regardless of, of how so the sort of the multi chain I don't know, future goes here. [00:22:48] You know, we don't know exactly how that'll play out, but I think things that are connected to the Ethereum network will benefit by being on that theory of network. [00:22:56] Yeah, they get to borrow the security of a theorem and depending on obviously how they're coded, but get to borrow the security of Ethereum and then add the, the speed, the transactions per second, that, you know, as you mentioned, games need in general, frankly, for large-scale adoption, you're just going to need more throughput and. [00:23:15] And you don't have to look very far back earlier in February, there was 320 million stolen in that. So on a bridge attack, like, okay, fine. Cause a PE firm, which is predominantly how salon is backed. Just wrote a check and they're like, all right, done. And the other pieces, the underlying token that underwrites, these, these various platforms is a, is another sort of added layer of risk, or I would say. [00:23:44] Saying. All right. Well, how much are you creating of that token? Is it depreciating or appreciating? Because anything that you transact on there is denominated in that took is paid for, for minors or for staking or for the, the market price of that. And if you are dealing with a unstable volatile or deflationary or aggressively deflationary under written token for that platform, then like, all right, what is your net worth? [00:24:11] That's a good question because it's. Based currency could be in Solano, which has dropped quite significantly. And twenty-five percent more if it's going to be printed this year. I remember them people in crypto getting pretty angry when the U S government printed 40% of its currency. Okay. Next year, you know what, they're going to do print another 25%, you know, that they're going to do. [00:24:31] So I think that's another consideration, but yeah, getting back to security, that has to be the table stakes, I think for for any platform that's going to let you hold. I want to know that that property is going to be there and not get. [00:24:44] Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, I think it kind of goes back to the idea of. Of UGA potentially launching that ape chain. And to me, the ultra, there's an alternative where maybe they partner with one of these existing layer twos and bring it over to one of these where they've got these, they've got all the benefits of being right next to Ethereum. [00:25:06] And, you know, I guess the other part of this is it's a lot closer to people's wallets. They don't want, you know, When you don't have to get your, get your funds onto another chain completely. It's a lot easier to go between layer one and layer twos. You know, it's, it's easier to be able to bring those funds over there. [00:25:22] Know, I think that's the way I would hope that they would end up going here so that they can stay closer to those Ethereum routes and still get the benefits of transacting, cheaply, moving things around quickly. And, you know, I would think. Benefit a lot of benefit. One of these layer twos, you know, as we've talked about, I think that there could be a quite a war for users. [00:25:42] So if you can sort of, you can guarantee that you're going to get the, the UGA the, the Yugo holders to come on over and, you know, they do make some noise. They tend to they tend to be, to, to tell people about the things that they're doing. And you know, I could see that being a good marketing play for one of the. [00:26:01] Chains instead of just, you get potentially rolling out their own and hoping for the best you know, as we've seen the minting wasn't the best. And it would, I would be concerned with them watching their own, their own network and not having issues there. I mean, it would be hard for anybody to do, and they certainly haven't shown that they they're without making mistakes in the technical realm. [00:26:27] We just leaving roll back the clock. Whenever you're listening to this. They're not even able to keep their Instagram password protected. They got their Instagram hacked. It costs their folks $3 million in NFTs that were stolen from them. A very basic hack that was then posted from that channel. And you want to create a scalable layer, one that competes with Ethereum, that's been in business with some of the smartest people, developing it for a number of years. [00:26:58] And you know, how many millions, billions of dollars in it. I mean, even want to compete with something like the Ronin network that got hacks for 650 million. [00:27:07] I'm not sure if you've heard about some of the great projects that have launched on the Ethereum network. There's all sorts of them. [00:27:13] board apes. [00:27:14] Yeah, that's right. [00:27:15] have heard It there's one the, a theater of network. [00:27:19] Punks crypto pumps. The, you probably heard of that when you acquire your entire company is built on it. I feel like it was just a throwaway statement and they had to walk it back because at a certain point, you know, you, people will begin to realize you're just making more and more promises. [00:27:34] And it's just like a pile of promises that will eventually be developed. But I think building an alt layer one is a ridiculous statement. [00:27:42] Yeah. Yeah. It seems like that maybe won't be happening. I know immutable has has made some noise about trying to be a partner. Of course [00:27:50] And immutable is a, is an alt layer one. [00:27:52] That's right. So they have, they're also the ones that have partnered with GameStop. It seems like they are good at partnering those in the right place. [00:27:59] So I don't know if that'll happen or not. I haven't heard a whole lot about that marketplace recently, but then again, there are more and more marketplaces all the time and we're seeing little bits of activity. Just, just spurred up everywhere now. [00:28:13] I'm hearing a lot about avalanche and then sort of their, their own scalability. Haven't seen a lot of like big name hacks, which is not necessarily say good or bad. You know, their, their token is incredible. I mean, everything is down but that's, you know, one where I see some smart people starting to load up on, which is interesting as a layer one that I'm like, I'm gonna like take a look at some more and then there's wax, which has been in the game a long time, but just. [00:28:36] You know, I think MLB had the largest type of relationship from a, from a high level with them last summer. And that really didn't go anywhere. And any of them [00:28:46] sort of drop today and I don't think I'm not sure what chain that was on. Are you, do you know what. I don't know. I should say NLB. Sorry. This was tops specifically. [00:28:56] is different. Yeah. [00:28:58] Yeah. Nevermind. I realized I [00:29:00] Is there any other layer, one that's on your radar? [00:29:02] No. I mean, I'm more. [00:29:06] I'm more aware and more into the out layer layer twos than the not layer ones. I would say. I'm not quite as in tune with those. [00:29:15] Yeah. I mean, obviously for us, we've recommended projects on polygon, you know, I've seen it in action. I've used it. I trust that I've been able to bridge things back and forth and. Easier and easier. Because anytime you're, you're moving between Queens or between even layers, you need to use these bridges, which means you need, you know, that's another point of failure that can occur. [00:29:35] So, you know, one, one layer one layer, one layer, two bridge that I like a lot is Umbria. A lot of folks use that one, but yeah, look NFTs are going to need getting back to our theme here. Layer to layers that are, they're going to get there, be it a polygon, arbitrary optimism, others that, that build on top of it. [00:29:54] And organizations that launch on a theorem and don't code their stuff the right way, and then get angry that it didn't work. Cause they have like large files, small pipe and high expectation of a window of which people that act. You know, it's like someone getting angry when their website crashes, what we sent everybody there, but we only had you know, bandwidth for a hundred people and we coded it that way. [00:30:18] We need to create a new internet because our website crashed like Dakota did poorly. You launched it. Ineffectually and yeah, it rained on you [00:30:27] Right. There are technical limitations. [00:30:29] the new inner. [00:30:30] You gotta, you gotta deal with those. This is, this is nothing new. There have always been technical limitations. You can, you know, there are ways to break systems. Believe it or not. [00:30:39] It's. Yeah, I guess that that final metaphor just seals it for me. I mean, a new, I need to create a new internet. My website crashed because I put a shit server and dumpy code and okay. I enough ragging on it. It was a successful drop. It was a historical high day, like an amazing to watch. And in the same, same week, a, a wall street journal say like, and if these are flat-lining and then an all time record broken after an all time record was broken by moon birds. [00:31:05] There's a funny things happening in the end of sector. And we'll definitely keep an eye on layer twos. All right. Andrew. Thank you. [00:31:12] All right. Good talking, George.

So in The land of abundance or the land of and [00:00:58] seeming to dictate what price [00:01:00] something should go at, and we'll be teasing out some of the different models out there, open Metta versus versus what you know large and small projects you go labs, sandbox, and the like, or are up to. But first, Andrew, what are you seeing in Yeah. What are we seeing out here? Right. We've got some headlines here. Well, we've got this article that I think was worth pointing out here by Kobe a influencer. He's been around the, space for a long time, but he said that he had recently been someone on the. The Abe council, the, the, Dow responsible for actually issuing the coin to get their opinions on some governance staking of the parking it somewhere and earn a more by parking it there. So he. this opinion that basically the, this isn't What staking was initially staking was meant add more security to a network by having someone both the that in this case would be ape along with maybe Ethereum. [00:02:03] So by parking it there you, you're showing more belief in the coin. And that more value locked up for that which allows them to build with more confidence. So now we've got a lot that's, what's kind of being proposed with this eight point. And it's not. Certainly not looked upon all that. Well, by, by, Kobe in this, article as he's saying, there's, it doesn't add anything to it What they should be doing with this is building building more that can be, maybe build a marketplace for the for the Eagle labs. NFTs, you know, they get you, as you pointed out that he spent, or there were over 60 million spent in fees of the last year on on open sea alone. [00:02:46] So there's a lot of potential to build, that could could bring more people to the ape coin. I don't know, a more natural way than maybe just giving them a more tokens to, to lock up. So it's an interesting, definitely interesting article. I think it's worth reading through gives you some ideas of how the, the history of staking and how it's And you know, I think this, this. Ape coin a coin has potential to, we've seen it has potential to have some big influence on the NFP market. Certainly when it was dropped, it had a lot of inflow or have a lot of influence, bought a lot of liquidity to the market. and I think it's going, you know, they're trying to make this the coin for the big land sale, which we're going to be talking about today. [00:03:28] So I, I, you know, I think it's important to keep, keep tabs on what's going on in with the. [00:03:34] Well, It's incredibly smart because they easily could have just made the land sale and Eve And collected Eve. But instead, what they're doing is forcing people to buy right. Buy the coin, drive up, [00:03:49] pricing it and pricing it and eight well. [00:03:52] Yeah. Pricing at big move. Right. it's not pricing it on the P And L it's like no. an eight, which is going to drive more people to have to again, transfer that much, right. Three eith it [00:04:04] into a coin. And by the way, I driving up the [00:04:09] prices of the damn thing. So you need to get more aid coin, [00:04:12] like, you [00:04:12] know, there's, I'll tell you what, there's a few people over a few brain cells And they're doing some smart things. [00:04:18] If you're [00:04:18] like looking at it from. And economic perspective. And, you know, I think it's important to have that narrative [00:04:23] of like, you know, you're misusing defy and you're going to break things like, okay. I mean, [00:04:29] it's, you know, it's got to function and it's being extended. And so it's kind of [00:04:34] interesting to watch people that are older in the sector would be like, oh, you're, you're doing it wrong. [00:04:39] That's not how you're supposed [00:04:40] to use defy. I kind of see a little bit [00:04:41] of that and ringing, Yeah, I I don't, they didn't see that as much. I, think that there is a, there's a lot to be said too, you know, rather than just admitting that lock up a token, you know, say they're not going to sell the token. And there's, you know, he values that well, I believe he had it at $7 billion or so if that's $7 billion, could it be. Could be deployed in many ways to bring people to the ecosystem rather than just emitting more, which is also diluting anyone that doesn't do that. You know, So there's a lot of a lot of mechanics that go into it. You know, we're, I don't know, we've seen, you could be quite successful the way they've rolled it out, rolled far. [00:05:21] So well, I should say this isn't technically yoga And you know, it is heavily. Influenced by the UGA team. So, I, you know, that's, that's a question that he you know, brings up as well as, you know, the fact that there is there's some lockup on the tokens by the investors team, but [00:05:40] And there's an unknown lockup. is just like discloses, like, and an has got lock [00:05:44] up. And it's very important if you're playing this game to understand when those [00:05:48] cliffs are. [00:05:49] Right. So there's not, not all of this is locked up. There's some already, already available for those investors, early investors and the team to sell. They unlock more at about six months. And that's, that's because at the same time they're incentivizing everybody else to hold. So, you know, just be wary of. [00:06:08] Of what's being said, and what's being done. I'm sure there will be other reports. And I'm not saying that they are definitely going to sell and dump it just that they do have that opportunity. And there's a lot done to to incentivize others to not do this. [00:06:23] Yeah, I'm not [00:06:24] So anyway, [00:06:26] anyway, [00:06:27] moving on, we've got ponder where ponder, where the developers of moon cats. We've talked about them in the past. They have that they may be selling off the IP to cats. Interesting story here. [00:06:42] Well, I was because I feel like it was the last week where I put you on the spot. I was like, would you buy more moon cats? Or would you buy like this other thing? And you're like, oh, I guess I'd buy more moon cats with this. Right. But like these older projects, that frankly have have the, sort of the history behind them and they have a team and there are people that hold them. [00:07:02] Like I think the [00:07:03] project. Really kind of, I'll just be honest underperformed for where I think [00:07:07] it could and should be because you know, maybe these, [00:07:10] these folks are developers and they're not marketers. clearly there's a strong element of marketing community must be developed. But anyway, the the net effect of that is that there's been a I think you know, it's starting to come back down [00:07:23] again from, from what I see in activity, but it was downloading. Point three, two. goes below a 0.3, them. And I feel like they knew it and they just ran up and on the car. [00:07:35] Yeah, they did have a good little run here, so we'll see. We'll see if any buyers emerge. I'm definitely curious to make a little bit more of this project. It seems like one that is talked about by, I don't know, by everyone at some point and definitely has underperformed. it's it's, it'd be exciting to see somebody else get an opportunity to do something more with it. [00:07:56] Definitely not. Marketing is not the strong suit of the team behind this right now. So much like the larva lab think they comfortable developing and not as into the marketing of things. [00:08:10] I feel like moon birds could just like buy this with one day's worth of trading volume. [00:08:17] Moon cats. Aren't good for birds. I can't imagine. [00:08:20] You get your owls? It's very much a similar graphic style. I got to say it wouldn't be that, [00:08:25] true. It's true. They got the moon, [00:08:27] stretch. [00:08:29] the moon verse. else did we have here? Oh yes, I saw this one. George, you've got a good control on NFT data storage. [00:08:37] I know this is kind of a bit more of a wonky one, but this it's important. To understand like how they're sort of mapping out and where things are living. And basically it's sort of showing us where things are being Over time, if your file is stored on a server on an Amazon cloud infrastructure, and somebody stops paying the bill, [00:08:57] your NFT is gone. Image is Sure. You still want. The code that's on the chain, but the image right where it points [00:09:04] to who've gone so that, you in the past is where IPF asks. a protocol file storage, I think is in play of putting the actual assets on chain when you're assets. [00:09:16] And this is just kind of breaking down [00:09:18] kind of where things live and it's, I dunno, it's a good technical an [00:09:22] understanding cause this much money on a JPEG, you mind, my mother makes sure the server bills [00:09:27] are paid. [00:09:28] Yeah, did mention that a lot of Ethereum projects make use of IPFS, but also make use make use of Penn pinning service to share easily, get URL to the IPFS so that Kenyatta is somewhat at a point in that it's single company providing those links. [00:09:51] So if something did happen to their servers or to the company there those links would break. it's best if link and, or a alternative link with projects using that our weave is also mentioned, and I was surprised to see that our we is actually the preferred method for projects on Solana. [00:10:08] That's. Surprising because it is a more secure from my my vantage point. Anyway So it's it's good. And there are some theory projects using it. I think we'll start to see more attention being paid to where these things are, are actually held at least perspective when people are looking at these projects, you know, we haven't fully experienced you know, a long. haven't seen a lot of these projects be around for a long run. Yet many of, most of them are under a year old. So it's still going to be a developing story. What happens as people lose interest in our move on to some of the on some of these projects and the bills go new project who dis the breakdown is interesting. Yeah. Are we've is definitely now kind of on my radar as a result of this, but for NFT, metadata storage for the top 100 Ethereum collections, they have this interesting pie roughly call it 50% are on IPFS. 40% are meaning that sort of, you know, got to pay the server. [00:11:12] And 9% on chain and 3% are weave. And the R wave is like um, basically you pay at one time and they So That's like, all right, that [00:11:22] generations anyway. [00:11:23] yeah. But what happens after [00:11:25] to like relax fella? Not your problem, right. those are dead people problems. Ethereum NFT media. [00:11:32] So media is slightly different. A lot more people, it looks like 60% rely on IPFS and those top hundred collections for media storage 27% centralized, and our we've has 4% on chain, 9%. It's interesting to, you know, where, where are your wallets captain? And then they Do the breakdown by as you mentioned, Solana and polygon. [00:11:52] So this is. I love this article. Actually. I love articles like this. I wish they actually looked at more than the top 100, but interesting data. [00:11:59] Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, let's move on. Let's say we do, we [00:12:05] don't, have an affordable project for for you this week. Let's see. Do [00:12:08] I, I was checking out one, I'll be honest and I ruled it out because the community had died a bit and it was affordable. it just make sense. I ruled it out also because I felt like it was a Dow that had a target to acquire a noun and they didn't achieve their goal. And it seems like when you don't achieve that goal, like it's like, it's a rallying point and it'd be great. and it's really wonderful. Let's go get the constitution. Let's go buy this like super expensive thing and make it our mascot. But like the is it's a very all or nothing type of vision and mission. And so that's. It's less so like, oh, aim for the moon land on the stars. it's like no, no, no. It's like you aim for the, moon Or you land on earth cratering down because the community says, we can't do So it's, you know, it's kind of just an interesting take away, but yeah, no affordable project. Quick note on past projects though, is peaceful battles have begun, peaceful that X, Y, Z. [00:13:09] He's hilarious, double dragon style, [00:13:11] graphic, a little fighters, you get three battles and it's really a fun game dynamic just to play it out a few, if you haven't been in there, you basically choose your attack style. [00:13:21] You have a couple of days to choose it and you matched up [00:13:24] against. And it's like this game theory the, you know, water to beat fire? Or do you think that they're going to choose something water? So therefore you should go with lumber. So there's a whole funny back and forth game [00:13:36] dynamic going on. [00:13:37] Fireplace on piece falls about [00:13:39] 0.15 right now, I guess. So fun stuff. Interesting game dynamics. I'm all about the games. All right. Digital land and scarcity. You go labs, you go labs, other side, [00:13:51] no scarcity, No scarcity. Well, I, I shouldn't say that. I mean, I shouldn't say that there's no scarcity, 200,000 plots as the plan or at least the rumors. And this is, I believe it was originally from the pitch deck that leaked back before other side video Oh leaked And was officially released thereafter. [00:14:11] But anyway, the upkeep or the recently leaked information was that it would be praised ape. mentioned that staring at six, 600 ape, which is $9,000. So a hundred thousand plots then, and then another a hundred thousand plots coming in the summer is the rumor 200,000 plots is enormous. [00:14:32] That's. That's a lot bigger than, I mean, when I was looking at it a hundred quite realize that there was another a hundred thousand coming, I was already thinking that a hundred thousand was, it was a really aggressive number they have a white list that includes many of The top and Ft collections. And I don't know that that is necessarily enough to get people to to go. thousand worth of these, especially at a three Eve price. You know, we did see moon birds do crazy numbers, you know, but that was a 10,000 piece collection minted at two and a half. And if the price has run up, but the, scarcity part is helpful. [00:15:11] There, I don't it's, I think it's going to be a lot harder to see, to see a hundred thousand sellout and for that price to hold anywhere, right now I could be The my, my hesitation. Is it just that there, that first part is is so once people, once they have that, they know that there's still another hundred percent. [00:15:33] Inventory coming. And I just, I don't know if that's going to take a lot more people coming into the space or especially into the, the UGA universe. And there's, you know, most people have had a good opportunity. I think there's a lot of people that have an attitude, like, like you've had that they've missed that train. [00:15:50] Looking for the next thing, not necessarily looking to just get in at this late stage and try to hope that in the this bull run for UGA. Yeah, the metaverse hype in game certainly kicked off, right. It kicked off in the fall of 2021, Facebook famously renaming itself, Metta, you know, in the sort of peak of all peaks, the things that seem to be keeping the value when you're getting into digital real estate is scarcity. And as soon as you have, you know, just to just absurdly high volumes, especially out of the gate, then, you know, the risk is over saturating the market. [00:16:30] And the problem is like when one part of the market goes at all does because of the way floors work, I believe they'll provide utility, but that is a very, very high starting point. And maybe maybe the bellwether that like Our idea of like owning property in the metaverse is like antiquated and frankly anachronistic simply because like, oh, I understand how property works. I have address for three whatever. and this spot you know, the idea of the metaverse Mr. Rogers neighborhood of places I can own mistaken ultimately. And it may be that, you know, you don't own the land, but you. your character, you own your network. We, we just, I think we have a weird fixed mindset just to go like a little high level I own this little plot and it's like valuable and I'll do whatever you want, but like in an earnest, I don't go on a [00:17:21] different type of parallel. [00:17:22] You know, I don't go on to Instagram to look at my own And my own little plot of digital. I look at other [00:17:27] people's. I go there to see what [00:17:29] other people are doing. I want to walk around digitally speaking. and see other stuff, and I'm less so [00:17:35] about this like own owned piece of land. And I see other [00:17:40] I see [00:17:41] other projects beginning to take [00:17:43] that tack. [00:17:44] So I'm, wondering if this game dynamic is spent or is it still hold water? [00:17:48] It probably still holds water, but I'd be shocked if that 200,000 goes [00:17:54] for three E each Yeah. I mean, we'd be looking at It nearly a $2 billion raise. It'd be about, And so that would be. I mean, it would be unprecedented obviously. just, I don't think that there's enough liquidity in the NFT market or, or that, much sitting there ready to come in that they could do that, you know, and granted that's over, You know, that's, that's over So, you know, the idea, I be that one would go so well that it would, you know, for more interest in the You know, that being said, I don't know. I'm I'm, you know, I've seen how. As a crypto voxels holder, I've seen, you know, what has happened when land and it hasn't been good, you know, that has been largely, and I think that's been a effect to grip the voxels overall. [00:18:38] It had a pretty, pretty good. And I feel like has largely been surpassed by other digital lands. You know and I think we're seeing that you know, maybe there isn't, you know, maybe there isn't as much value to those and maybe that's okay. You know, we've seen another bottle launch recently, this open metaverse project. [00:18:58] Oh, M by punk 6 5, 2 9 pretty influential NFT Twitter person who has launched this, been working on it. It's pretty impressive. you can actually go in there. There's all sorts of buildings. There's a museum in there this expect United museum as a full level. Generative art most are, I think there's a generative art museum in the middle. it's, got another museum as well, but it's, a very different model Anyone at. this point can fill out a form to claim. I don't know if it's necessary to claim, but you basically can say that you want either a building a district different sizes. So depending on the size of your organization, you can go in and just say, you want to do with the land? [00:19:40] They are taking this as very not scarce in giving this land away. So, you know, I think it's, it's that they are not going with, a scarce model and, it doesn't seem that you guys has much scarcity. Either. The net one is one of looking to charge once looking at. At the prices for a tube for $2 billion in sales. one is looking for people that are most interested in building things can, can see and use. interesting to your point of, you know, what do you want out of this? And know, I think when you've got an incentive, when you can build for free, you've got a lot to really, you better make it compelling for me to come in there. [00:20:21] Right? There's not this this perceived value that is just sitting there, like look at my, look at my 60th. Plot that I am probably not doing much with, because I have six east to, to move around and, and put into these plots and probably own a few of them. You know, I think it's a very different So you know, know that that one is necessarily right. And UGA has definitely been aggressive about about pricing things recently. And they built that up by giving things away, but then it looks like they are trying to cash in on that trying to extract the maximum. Possible. They're really trying to extend the maximum value possible And, you know, I don't know that it tells you in your lifecycle. Another one to point out is the sandbox and, you know, the sandbox, we we actually had it as a, as a project. I will say we called it. that, was like a, you know, one that we actually did pretty well by, you know, the price, you know, frankly it ran up it was up there at like five eith. But currently it sits set a floor of one point. And it has steadily dropping month after month after month. You know, you could get but ultimately like it comes back to it's a map made up of 166,464 and growing the end growing part is sort of the inhibitor. [00:21:44] Point here. right. [00:21:46] Here's, you're looking at something that like, literally you have celebrities involved with built assets and dog, I mean, is, is in there. How much more, how [00:21:54] much more do you need to know? truth is if you just [00:21:57] keep printing the money machine, [00:21:59] ironically, the thing that you know, all crypto [00:22:01] is anti. [00:22:02] If you keep the money [00:22:04] machine, the land machine [00:22:05] printing people will figure out the value pretty. Well, inevitably I won't say quickly, inevitably. So I dunno, I I think we we've thrown enough questions at building this way on, I don't know. I think I would feel different if the making It so that like you could. [00:22:25] What's accessible though at 200,000 plots. I mean, if they did a third, if it was one I mean, I don't know. It'd have to be a, I mean, we'd be still talking it's too much. [00:22:36] I don't know. I mean, maybe there is a me, you said, there's almost 200,000. I was surprised to hear what you just said. [00:22:43] There's almost 200,000 [00:22:44] Yeah, a hundred and thirty six, a hundred and sixty six there only I don't understand how 9,000 listed on open. See, I [00:22:50] think it's still in, like, they're talking about where they're going to [00:22:53] end up and where they are releasing. In that cycle. So the cap. [00:22:57] And then conversely NFT worlds have held because it is kept fixed at 10,000. However, I have not seen true utility come from NMT [00:23:08] worlds, or the ability to cross and walk around worlds inside of there. [00:23:12] But that's actually that, those one [00:23:14] that climbed up and it's kind of held a little bit, it's come down off of its hot. [00:23:18] So it might [00:23:20] be that's sort of slow [00:23:24] it will see. I have, I've seen some, some integrations with, on how much people are actually using these. I mean? we're seeing all over the place. The the, the peak of many of these NFTs seems to be the the lead up to these announcements, the, the news And the announcements of the actual product and the seems to not for the price of these projects, it seems like people are much more excited. [00:23:52] Ahead of the release than they are things actually come to fruition. So it's interesting. I think that'll change at some point. Or at least does because I want to be excited. I want to be excited about what is actually here, as opposed to just hoping that the thing is even better. Yeah. could still hope that things are even better, but I think, you know what I mean? I don't think it's sustainable to just look at everything like it's going to be great. And then once it gets here, be everything. I think there are great things then some of these projects are delivering and we can't just look at this as like, well, that's it. [00:24:25] Yeah. I mean, hype, the expectation meeting reality can, can be a tough one. One more I want to just throw park, which I think is a different play. Metaverse interaction, actually their drop wa was live in this, past [00:24:39] week. So people that were [00:24:41] in there know we talked about it got their, you know, free drop no [00:24:45] minty into their wallets the other week. and that's more about curating ecosystem that is open, but it's the asset of the character that is imbued with that type of value, which is which is interesting. And sort of, is it metaverse land or metaverse identity? [00:25:02] That is where you, you store your value. [00:25:04] And so that's just like a and we're going to see a [00:25:07] lot [00:25:07] I think, a lot more [00:25:08] exploration of what's possible. that metaphor has term I think is now evolving somewhat. I think a lot of people are coming to the idea that it's not necessarily this, these digital lands in. Much more of a kind of ecosystem that evolves in between NFTs and these digital lands and crypto. So you know there's a there's a few different ways that it's going to be, you know the people are, are, these companies to do it. I am. Very wary of projects that have huge caps on the project, regardless of projects are launching. I think it's think it's a lot healthier for the launch with a smaller demand and [00:25:48] Hey, don't it look like a giant cash grab. [00:25:51] I mean, honestly, even if they kept it to 48 and you know, ecosystem holders, when it bothered me as a non holder, I think that would do more for the value. [00:26:02] I don't know that people from holders of, of, you know, of cats really is I don't know. I mean, I guess they're universe, but I don't know that it really does They still have other ways to get into it. I don't know. We'll see what happens. You know, there's different, different different tactics and it's certainly evolving. [00:26:22] Take a look at the human park floor though. It's at 0.049. I'm on polygon. Gas lists and they're they're backed by the studios that did a Zed run. So it's kind of interesting, I will say cause this is the gen one that they put out there and so yes, there will be others. But these are officially gen ones that are, that are floating around out there. [00:26:46] All right. Any, anything else to add? [00:26:48] No, I think that's it. George. [00:26:51] Alright, great topics. See out there. Good luck. [00:26:54] tactics and it's certainly evolving. [00:26:59] Take a look at the human park floor though. It's at 0.049. I'm on polygon. Gas lists and they're they're backed by the studios that did a Zed run. So it's kind of interesting, I will say cause this is the gen one that they put out there and so yes, there will be others.

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

Project success of World of Women. Self-fulling prophecy of guys having more access/headstart creating projects that appeal to guys and so on. A smart strategy could be to start looking for female-led teams/artists as the market grows.    World of Women Galaxy - Collection | OpenSea    Project: https://opensea.io/collection/womenrise Women Rise is another relatively new female-led NFT collection in the space. Yet, it's already supported by celebrities like Gary Vaynerchuk, who minted 10 NFTs during the project's December launch. In a short span of time, the project has raked in over $13 million in OpenSea trade volume. Acclaimed visual artist, Maliha Abidi created the collection of 10,000 NFTs representing women across the globe. A Pakistani-American artist, Abidi has been advocating for social justice through her art.  boys club: Only ~15% of Bitcoin and ~12% of Ethereum investors are women Of the 121 founders of the top crypto companies, 5 are women Men are 2x as likely to invest in crypto as women BlockFi found only 9% of women say they understand cryptocurrency https://cryptoart.io/artists Women Crypto groups/projects https://cyberbrokers.io/  SheFI Black Women Blockchain Council BoysClub Dao Headlines:EToro Is Aping Into Blue-Chip NFTs With $20M Fund  Nouns DAO Backs NFT Crowdfunding Effort for Indie Film 'Calladita' - Decrypt    Transcript [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs ladies rule, the rise of female led NFT projects. I'll be honest. Like we could have done this episode anytime, I think over the past six months, but we've been waiting kind of gathering some, some notes on it and excited to share some of that. Some of that conversation and alpha with. [00:00:20] First, I think we somewhat alluded to this in our last podcast to listen to that recently, just discussing this. George recently picked up a couple of pieces from the Sarah show and Sarah Zucker and Betty from the artist behind. Dead fellows. Yeah. [00:00:38] So the funny thing is, is like it's been in my like personal investment narrative for a little while and we've kind of been waiting to share it, but I, yeah, I, I'm excited to get both of them. [00:00:47] And I actually I tweeted it the Sarah shows there's soccer and saying like, Hey, picked up when your repeat. And she's like, oh, awesome. Thanks for collecting. So it's kind of cool. Like she knows me. [00:00:58] Yeah. Cool. Well, yeah, I'm excited to talk about this. I think we have seen we've definitely seen some some projects, some women led projects get some, some big headlines, so it'd be good to dig into this a bit more, but you know, as he said, why don't we start with some headlines? [00:01:13] Okay. E Toro getting in aping into blue-chip NFTs with a $20 million. Okay. So this is a, an investment platform and they are actually putting a, a, sorry, a portfolio of NFT investments together. This isn't a portfolio or a investment fund to invest in infrastructure tools around NMT. This is actually investing in the NFTs themselves. [00:01:36] So haven't seen a ton of. Direct investment. It, of course is coming from a more I don't know younger sort of financial company and not too surprised that this is happening, but I think we'll start to see this kind of thing more and more. [00:01:52] Yeah. They talk about saying they want to be one of the leading and if T collectors in the world fully deployed to collection, that already includes an Ft projects from board eight yacht club, crypto punks, and right on theme world of women. [00:02:05] World of women. I think being, I'd say the largest, would you say? Yeah, that's what I kind of look at his leg, his WomenLead NFT collection at this point. And there's been a handful of successful ones and I think that has led the way I believe in terms of price, it's still up there and certainly gotten a lot of headlines. [00:02:24] So yeah, interesting here. Next one, we've got nouns, Dow backs, NFT crowdfunding. So now in style up to something, any indie candidate film for Calla Dita definitely didn't pronounce that. Right. So what does announced dial up to here? [00:02:40] Yeah, I guess they also, I've heard about this this films and indie film is being funded through NFTs and I believe it is connected to let's see, it's connected to. [00:02:51] Martin Scorsese's daughter. She was on a. I believe so I'm now reading through this and not seeing that right away. But anyway, they announced out is putting some of their significant ease towards backing this project. As we've mentioned the past the the downscale There is the release one new NFT each day. [00:03:13] They're still going for a pretty hefty sum. So they haven't spent a ton of that. So they are putting some of that towards this film. It will be the first NFT back film. It's so interesting to see. It looks like they do have some that they actually have a bit of a trailer here. Click, I'm not entirely clear on the status of the film at this point. [00:03:34] Yeah, it seems like they're going to feature those glasses. So somehow that's going to be fit into the narrative. So there'll be a there's that like the content and that content inclusion for that nouns. That was a funny, one of it is. Just keep turning out those, those nouns every day. Good for them. [00:03:53] All right. We can move to our featured project, which [00:04:00] actually we talked briefly about this. I think one other thing we could talk about, if not, maybe NFTE specific is just the. Oh, the news that's been going on with Twitter recently, it is still a very popular place for NFT discussion. And we've had Ilan recently by about 10% of the company and then kind of put all his chips out there and say that he wants to buy the whole thing. [00:04:22] And as we've mentioned this on a recent podcast and it made the news may have changed by the time you're listening to this. But I think it will have some sort of impact on the, on NFT discussion and crypto. Twitter. So it's definitely one that I'm looking at and keeping, keeping tabs on. [00:04:41] Yeah. I mean, you see when all those announcement happened, like speaking as a dose holder the price of doge moves kind of aggressively when that happens. And also remember that as Dorsey left, he was a Bitcoin maximalist and maybe we'll actually slowing down the integration and adoption of more NFTs into web three tech into. [00:05:02] Twitter. So I think all moves there. It seems like the path of Elan having his way or not having his way, all paths lead to Twitter, more broadly deepening its relationship to web three, which will increase adoption and usage. So it's all upside from where I sit, but I'm really rooting for him to do it and then make doji official currency of Twitter. [00:05:22] And I'll be right back on my dose to the moon. [00:05:25] That's all right. I imagine that's all part of the plan. It's [00:05:28] all, it's all planned out. I just have to survive the trough. [00:05:30] All right. Well, now I think we can move on. I thought that we should at least get that in there, but let's move on to our affordable project. And once again it is George bringing one to us. And what do you have to go along with our theme this week? Wait a minute. Is that three today? This week you're doing this week today. [00:05:49] You owe me you want me I dunno, a moon cat pop for forever. [00:05:54] Oh boy. [00:05:54] All right. So ladies rule is our theme, but the project that we found is women rise. And so I guess relatively new female led NFT collection, I'll say the current floor just to get you anchored is. Two one. And that is a, I would say relatively thin floor. [00:06:15] So this thing pat us on our back, I we get 80 downloads, this could move the floor. So all the more reason to join us in the discord, because I'm about to post it there. So they'll get to see what's going on really great art here. And it's celebrating. It says and representing women, scientists, activists, artists, coders, and more. [00:06:34] And they're focused on advancing women's rights and girls' education through NFTs and web three, and even trying to build the first school in the metaverse and really sort of exciting vision. I would say it's a collection from an artist activist Molly hat, Z art is her tag and, and focused on advocating for social justice. [00:06:55] So what do you see in, in this project? I'll say 10,000 items. Yeah, 10,000 items. You've got a, let's see, we've got about 5,700 holder. So a pretty pretty good unique holder count. I would say for a collection that size as you mentioned that it didn't get a lot of attention when it came out earlier and actually had a, we got an average price of over one eith at one point it's been kind of sliding down since peaking in. [00:07:24] Let's see, mid February or so. But you know, it has, it's a fairly fairly affordable project at this point, I would say, especially compared to where it's been and where many of the sales have been. The holder count has been relatively. Daddy increasing slightly, but you know, I'd say definitely not. [00:07:44] I wouldn't, it doesn't look like there's people dumping this project. I think people are looking at this as one of the more affordable women led collections out there. As you said seen world of women do quite well and it's even grouped in with the Crypto Punkin board ape projects in the blue chip collection. [00:08:04] So I think this is a way to get in on a women led project at a much more affordable price. And one that frankly seems to be being overlooked. Maybe because who knows what the reason is. But I, I think there's a very good chance for some of these women led projects to to get more attention in the future. [00:08:24] We know that there's a lot of Hills in the space and it's very dominated that way. I think as new people come in, we're going to maybe see the the numbers shifted that for awhile. And some of these projects could benefit. [00:08:40] Yeah, just doing some trait analysis inside of whammy.io. [00:08:46] It's all over the map because there's a bunch of attributes and I really can't find a salient attribute that I would say to go on. So like it's one of those to, to take a look at more closely and see what you see in and see what like draws you to it. But there's accessories, background, badge, body clothes. [00:09:04] I make up glass hair, head helmet, light background lifts, reflection, ribs, and the list kind of goes on. There's some, some big deltas in here between floor and the gap. So this is like a gap analysis essentially of saying what is the micro floor was what I look at at, at different traits to be like, all right, where, where is maybe somebody mispriced something along the way for, for the traits are, but there's a lot of, a lot of variants here in, in these gaps speaking to again, the thin floor and the psych sort of our recent loss of attention. [00:09:36] Certainly if you have a a longer view of this, this is interesting. This is very interesting. [00:09:44] Yeah. Going on my watch list for sure. So thanks for bringing that to one that one to us, George. [00:09:50] Yeah, absolutely. This is a fun one and it's definitely on a, on my watch full disclosure. We don't own it as of, I don't know the recording of this, but who knows? [00:09:57] Because. We buy things. [00:10:00] This is true. This is true. [00:10:03] Okay. All right. Ladies rule rise, the female NFT projects and at a high level, look, the, this, the fact of this is at a high level, this is a boys club. Look, I will speak as someone who's running a podcast to two men talking to each other about NFTs. [00:10:20] You see it a lot in The numbers as well, where according to some stats that only 15% of Bitcoin and 12% of Ethereum investors are women. So that's like if we imagine a world where it should be 50 50, because it's supposed to be open architecture and pulling in everybody into this community, let's just like, hold up the mirror and look at the data which is readily available. [00:10:45] That's just sort of, not the case. [00:10:47] Yeah. I mean I actually haven't seen the data necessarily behind this. My, I think that is somewhat harder to, to come by just by wallet addresses, but I think it's pretty apparent when you interact on. Crypto Twitter discords or just look at the the people behind projects, the ones that are docs it's, it's very heavily male. [00:11:10] I'm sure you do have some, some other numbers that you can share with us here on not seeing it. But you know, it is very obvious that it's, it's a lot of males and we've talked about how will you know how there are fewer females in the space. And they, I don't know. I would say it's it's. It's almost there many are overlooked. [00:11:32] And I'd say that there are a handful that get the attention in place of actually trying to promote it to be a more more open space over are, I shouldn't say open, but more, a more balanced space overall. It's it's almost like if there's enough attention and put upon us, you that it somehow makes up for, for the inbound. [00:11:52] Yeah, some of those just sort of other top line stats of the 121 founders that they found in a research report of top crypto companies, five are women. Men are two times as likely to invest in crypto, as women. That's like a pew research coming out, block five found that only 9% of women say they understand cryptocurrency. [00:12:13] So certainly based on these kinds of surveys and whatnot, but it's look, it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy that. Frankly, if men have access to the capital and creation markets for NFT projects, then they create, guess what? She, that appeals to more men that then fulfills their sort of like next project. [00:12:35] And they can kind of go on and you see this also with top artists it doesn't, it doesn't take much sort of top line analysis. And we were talking about the total art market on the the, the crypto art. Crypto art.io, like go and look, and then as you go through, you'll realize, what do you. [00:12:52] You have people, you have POC, you have X copy, free Ross. You have basically men, men, men, men, men, for all the top pieces inside of here for, for individual orders. There are in a, we've chatted out to a few, a lot of female ed projects, the largest being a world of women that are really risen up and sort of held the rise. [00:13:16] And I had a recently the galaxy world of women galaxy drop that Andrew, I think you bought into right. [00:13:21] Yeah, I did buy some of those. And I looked at that as an opportunity to get into what I, what I sort of considered and what a lot of considers, one of the premier women led projects, as I mentioned earlier it was an opportunity that the, to expand there their whole, their group, much like a board apes did with mute names and other projects have done in the past. [00:13:43] So they're growing that and it's still a, it's not one that we can put in our affordable list. It's much more affordable than their other projects, but I think those are still about a 1.2 floor. So I think there's, there's a lot. Good things going on with that project. But I think some of that will flow over to other similar projects like this, like the women rise project in another excuse me. [00:14:06] Other projects. [00:14:07] Yeah. I mean, like just sort of continuing down continuing down that list you kind of end up with a top artists and I'll go track this down in the show notes and you can kind of look at yourself. Late at yourself. You'll, you'll see that you gotta get into like number seven before you end up with hackathon, which I believe is the first one on that list for. [00:14:25] Top artists nothing to shake a stick at 40, 41 million doing just fine and total art group [00:14:32] value, which is really right. And I believe that that's a partnership of a male and female partner there. Right? So it's Monica, Monica Rizzoli is number 10 on that list. And believe that I know that she's done a very popular. [00:14:45] Our blocks collection. So that that's that's impressive, but you know, as you said, this is largely dominated by men. Going down the list further, we've got Trevor Jones, shell, dear Mike Johnson, these are all men. And so you do have to really start going down a list and it's I wouldn't even say that it's the position, but just how few women are, are even on this list to begin with. [00:15:09] And so to take a step back in terms of the, the upside of this, and let's just be honest, like you're, you're collecting NFT art because it speaks to you you're collecting NFT art or entity projects because you want to flip it. You want value there. And I think there is a inherent rarity to. [00:15:32] Women that are leading projects or a women artists that have really defined themselves in this space, meaning they have to be that much better to have, have fought their way into it. And so that is when we look at a project like metamorphosis that we highlighted, I immediately went to what was the. [00:15:50] Female creators in that list and like, where are they undervalued? And sure enough, they were, I felt very undervalued. So I was like, yep, I'm going to go pick up that dead fellows. And I'm going to go pick up Sarah soccer because I, I liked where the value of their workforce also within created you look at. [00:16:08] Saying like at the time and Frida Kahlo getting completely overlooked and women in the art world. This is like not, not a new story, it's history repeating itself. But I think that there's a lot of upside when, by the way, remember that distribution of, we were just talking about the number of people that have bought into NFTs. [00:16:28] And if the majority of the NFT projects that have been created. By then potentially unfairly necessarily for men. What happens when that begins to hit more of a mainstream market? Where are the older projects that are going to get more appreciated by? I don't know, say half of the population holds. [00:16:48] Wallets. There's a whole side of the market that hasn't even come in we're early. And even earlier, still when it comes to a female lead female represented projects. And it's very much part of my capital, a art, a I'll say a capital, a art investment Yeah. I that's part of what I was thinking about earlier when I was thinking about I think that the, the ratio of people that are coming in is going to shift over time. [00:17:13] If you've already got a heavy, a user base of, of then it. It's natural to think that at some point that'll swing the other way. And we may have more of a lot more women coming yet. It's at a certain point and not as many quality projects to to look to. I think that could change. [00:17:31] So I actually was thinking one other project. I've been impressed with don't own. But is the cyber brokers project that's led by Josie? Who's like, what is her last name, Josie? Let's see, she's been around the NFP space for a long time. She's done pieces on super rare. Very impressive collection and super impressive artists that was doing this when nobody was paying attention. [00:17:56] She's actually married to another person in the space Andrew Stein, who I've talked to a bit as well. So they're both very in a very into NFT or they're butchering entities before anyone paying attention. And she recently put this collection together. So it's one that just take a look at, I think, to kind of. [00:18:13] I don't know. Let's see, just see a different idea of a collection this was done with SVG files which for those that aren't interested, but that aren't familiar can let's see. So there, there aren't actually graphic files in there. These there's there's I'm sorry, there aren't actually like heavy graphic JPEG files in there. [00:18:33] It's a much later weight code based way of displaying these images so that they are all on chain and it's. Relatively expensive to do, but it is cool that these can be shown in any size at all. I just, I think it's a really cool project, regardless of who's bleeding it, but it's cool to see that it's been some is a female at project, by someone that's been so dedicated to this space for such a long time and doing it when nobody was paying attention like we've, we've talked about that as being such a, such an impressive. [00:19:04] Just an impressive part of an artist's work. If they were doing what nobody cared. I think there's a pretty good chance. They're going to keep at it when people are paying attention. Yeah. Like [00:19:13] that. It's Josie Bellini. And either Rigo, I will go ahead and say not affordable [00:19:20] for. Pretty [00:19:21] impressive now. Yeah, it's a cool project. But I think it also shows where some of these practices can go. There's a lot of potential here and there's flip to other affordable projects before that unless you've got way too much, you've burned a hole in your pocket. [00:19:37] No problem. It's not a problem I have as of late anyway there are. Also some really great women in crypto groups out there. She five black women, blockchain council boys' club Dow, which is kind of a nod to the fact that it is a boys club. So it is. Or women, and there are meetups and more gatherings. [00:19:58] And I think more and more this, these types of groups will hopefully come up, educate investors and then say, Hey coming back to our thesis, like, where should we invest? Should it be in, I don't know, somebody that is creating art that represents us, represents what we believe in, or is it just a. [00:20:17] Sort of like, oh, let's go find generic project X that we can go flip. It seems to probably have maybe a bend toward picking up some of these, these projects and celebrating some of these artists in their continued work. [00:20:32] Yeah, absolutely. [00:20:34] All right. Well, I'm, I'm ever hopeful that this market is going to become more and more inclusive on every manner of it. Also speaking as a as a girl, dad I, I do hope to see a future of NFTs that are well, I guess at this point would need a lot more unicorns though. I am invested in a unicorn stable and a lot more rainbows based on our current. [00:20:56] But I know those will grow. [00:20:58] Cool. Well, good discussion, George.

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.  

EPISODE 55 | The Dead Internet Theory Weirdly similar but also somewhat nonsensical tweets, emails that seem written by bots, the same posts showing up again and again - something seems to be amiss with the internet. And some people think they have found the answer: the internet died a few years ago and is now almost entirely run by sophisticated AI bots. This is the Dead Internet Theory. We'll look at the reasoning behind this notion, a timeline of events that includes some creepy real-world DARPA projects, the state of AI and computer-brain interfaces, and a peek at the (possibly) approaching Singularity - when humans and machines will essentially blend into one thing.

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.
