Though sharing our faith is one of the most important purposes we have a Christians, many of us fail to do so for two primary reasons:Fear of what others might think of us.The fear we won't know what to say. Three lessons on how to share your faith: John 9:13-17; Focus on what you know You don't have to KNOW everything! John 9:18-23; Share YOUR story NOT somebody else'sJohn 9:24-34: You're not an expert on everything BUT you are an expert on your own experience with Christ!Just remember, your purpose as a Christian is not necessarily to be an expert theologian.Your purpose is to be the ultimate expert on your own experience with Jesus!Theme: How to share your testimony Scripture: John 9:13-34 Simple.

Theme: How can NFT buyers detect wash trading on a project Detecting wash trading on an NFT project can be a challenging task, but here are a few things NFT buyers can do to help identify potential wash trading: Check the Trading Volume: High trading volume on an NFT project is generally a positive sign. However, if you see a massive amount of trading volume that doesn't align with the number of active traders, that could be a red flag. Analyze the Transactions: Analyzing the transactions on a blockchain can provide insights into the activity of an NFT project. Look for large numbers of transactions between the same accounts or transactions occurring at irregular intervals. Check the Token Holders: Reviewing the list of token holders can reveal suspicious activity. If you notice a high concentration of tokens held by a small number of addresses, that could be a sign of wash trading. Research the Team: Do some research on the team behind the NFT project. Check their track record and reputation in the community. If they have a history of creating similar projects that were involved in wash trading, that should raise some red flags. Check for Social Media Activity: Watch out for excessive social media activity around the NFT project. If the team is constantly hyping up the project and there's little substance to back it up, that could be a sign of wash trading. News: At Least $37M Worth of y00ts NFTs Migrate to Polygon From Solana in One Day Ticketmaster Tests NFT-Enabled Pre-Sales With Avenged Sevenfold Tour Real Estate Investors Buy Solana NFT Home for $246,800 Amazon's NFT Plans Teased in a Receipt Mailed Friday Afternoon Amazon NFT Marketplace Could Feature Beeple, Pudgy Penguins - Blockworks NFT collector accidentally destroyed a $129k CryptoPunk ROugh Transcript [00:00:00] Day. You sound good. I'm leaving that in. I know. I sound good. Thanks. Oh, this we are, we live. We're rolling in, like I think this is what popular podcasts do. All right. Yeah. This week you sneaking how, how NFT buyers can detect wash trading on a given project. We know it's happening, but is it happening to us? [00:01:07] I'm excited to get there, but first, I don't know. What are we seeing in the news right now? Andrew? Oh man, George, thank you. You, you put the, the news headlines together for us this week, so man, so I'm trying to earn my keep. Yeah, this is, this is big, but, ah, man, I, I've definitely been, been keeping pace with some of these. [00:01:27] You got a couple that I, uh, didn't, didn't notice earlier, but man, we'll start off with Utes. Utes have migrated to Polygon 37 million worth. So this is, we talked about this a little bit, like what does it take to actually migrate and it does take active holder, you need to do something and. We've seen a, a large percentage, uh, of holders actually do that. [00:01:55] Uh, I don't know. I'm trying to, I'm trying to formulate like what this means. It seems like you should just do this out of value. Of course. Is there something that we should be looking at in terms of a platform usage or, or network usage that you're seeing? What, what's your take on this? One is that I kind of see this almost like an N b A draft or whatever, N f NFL draft, right? [00:02:20] Where, where projects actually can and are being lobbied by these L two L one s, what have you to, to move over and you better believe there's like somebody paying somebody for, for this. But you know, I. Think also, this is on the second hand, a vote of confidence or lack thereof when you are moving off of your main, uh, platform like Solana is Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:02:46] Honestly, not the home of the largest projects. And if you want to become one of the largest projects is there. And then the other thing I'll say is it gives me a lot of faith actually in some of those, uh, tezos bets that we made with regard to artists there. Because one risk frankly is like, I'm betting both on this artist, this piece of. [00:03:06] And Tezos in the future of that, something that, look, I haven't dug into enough, but if they're using these wormhole bridges to move from one to the other. That's interesting. Yeah. It, it is interesting here and I'm, I'm curious to see how this plays out. I, you know, as I mentioned, did not, uh, put the, the news headlines together here. [00:03:25] Did notice one project that's actually migrated from, uh, ETH to Polygon and now to Arro. And I'm curious to see how much of this is sort of chasing the, the, the hot, uh, the hot L two. And you know, I hope that it is not that you know, I, I think that Polyon has a lot of features that that will sustain and. [00:03:50] I can see that there's going to be a lot of attention on, on zk Rollups, on, on Arro just other L two s in, you know, in the nearby future. Yeah. Well, I wonder if also there's in the future where Ordinals are like, oh no, we've broken and been dis disinvited from the party at over, at, uh, at Bitcoin Central. [00:04:10] So, overall, I'm bullish on these wormholes, though in the back of my mind. I do know that whenever you build a bridge, you. A hole for attack. And we've seen a lot of bridge based attacks. So I'm a little absolutely concerned of signing any contract like that. I'm not the first penguin in that pudge water. [00:04:30] I'm skeptical and of, of the, uh, security of bridges in general. All right. Getting onto the next one. This one, man, this one's interesting. So we got Ticketmaster testing, NFT enabled presale. So this is this. Ticketmaster actually selling NFTs. This is a Ticketmaster allowing artists to use NFTs to grant access to. [00:04:55] Pre-sales to early access to, to tickets. This has been, Ticketmaster has been in the headlines a lot recently with, uh, some of the problems with specifically Taylor Swift's concerts and how fast they sold out. I think most of them sold out before, uh, the, the actual public sale. They were all sold in the public, uh, in the, uh, pre-sale. [00:05:16] And there were a lot of questions about how. The people that were deemed, uh, somewhat led longtime fans. I can't remember what the, the term was, but they used the term, there was a lot of questions about how they were determined. So I think there's, you know, ticketmaster's least responding here. It definitely not a company that. [00:05:36] Would be, you know, that's, that's web three first. And it is interesting to see that they are, uh, dipping into nft Enable sales. So this is a Avenge seven full tour. Uh, was a little surprised to see that this band was touring. But then again, uh, you know, don't, don't pay that much debt to it. I dunno, what's your take on this, George? [00:05:55] What do you, what do you see in here? I'm so excited by this, and it was like kind of floated under the radar a little bit. But think about it with regard to functionality for just a second. The question of why an artist actually can produce an N F T that has value is through the roof. Now, that one use case, the fact that frankly, ticket Master is a wash with freaking front running, little arbitrage monster. [00:06:24] And guess what? If you wanna front run my favorite band, cuz I've been a fan for a decade and then upsell me cuz they charge too little at the right, wrong price and then make a vig all the way. Guess what? You have to be a holder like I was cuz I found my band. I bought the N F T and I can be rewarded like. [00:06:43] What a ruthlessly pragmatic use case, and it's exciting. I'm shocked. I am shocked. Do that band early. Show it. Come on. Yeah. But then the band can offer value directly to those, those users. Absolutely. This is freaking perfect. Look, I, I don't expect this rollout to. To be perfect. No, and it's going to and it's better. [00:07:07] We're moving in a good direction. Well, no offense to Avenge Sevenfold, but I think they're the lower bar of maybe not Taylor Swift in terms of testing, so Right. Hey Steve, it works. It's a great way to test. Yeah. Again, no, no, no offense to the band. I don't know much about them. I think it's great that they are, you know, they're definitely willing to test this out. [00:07:29] I imagine that they had to, to agree to this. I hope they did. But very cool idea and I'm, yeah, definitely keeping tabs on this one. All right. This is, man, this is another one that has, this sparked a lot of headlines. This week. We've got a new real estate N F T platform. Uh, this is. Uh, home base. So they sold a home this week or this past week in Macallen, Texas for about 245,247,000 via N F T. [00:08:04] So it's not the first N F t, it's not the first home sold via N F T, but this is, I believe, the first on. So, Well first on Solana, I believe also the first, that was actually the first platform was solely dedicated to that. I could be wrong, I thought the other platforms were more dedicated to non NFT sales and this, and those were sort of, uh, I don't know, like, you know, side project, uh, sort of acquisitions. [00:08:35] But definitely interesting here. It's, it's, I've had a few people bring this up to me, uh, in the past week. You know, you mentioned the, I mean, even the feature of being able to be, uh, purchased in a a digital currency is a big, is a big thing. What they're doing here, I believe is actually owning the house with an LLC and then selling the N F T cause we still have the problem of. [00:09:05] Legal ownership of a, of a home. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know that that can't be done. You can't change that on the blockchain yet. I, I, you know, I don't expect that to change anytime soon. And there are still ways to sort of incorporate existing laws with, you know, again, this is with trusted intermediary, so you know, there are problems. [00:09:26] It's not perfect and it's interesting. Yeah, I mean, we see fractionalized ownership as a other possibility here when you have that N F T to be able to, to chop that up and, you know, in the good old traditional real estate fiat world we had. Mm-hmm. You know, I think it's like what Picasso trying to do that among others who are like, all right, you 10 people own this thing. [00:09:48] This may be a bit different if you have like 10,000 owners. I don't know if you all. 20 seconds of home ownership, but probably works differently. Stop by, take a picture. Use the bathroom. You have, you have bathroom rights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. [00:10:06] All right, so we've got some news about Amazon's NF t plans. We discussed this recently that Amazon has n F T plans. There's been a bit more that has come out recently. Uh, there is basically a leaked email saying that there will be the potential to resale, uh, to resell the tokens or these, these digital assets that you have. [00:10:31] There's not a ton of information here as it. I mean, it, it legitimately looks like a, a leaked email here. Did you have a read of this one, George? Yeah. They're just saying like, the opportunity to like resell is being like limited, something's being locked. So there's kind of be some sort of, it seems like initial drop, so maybe there's like an access token. [00:10:53] I am complet. Way, way, way overreading into this. But what we are seeing is like snapshots into like Amazon Pay with transactions built into it seems like the interface and integration with Amazon Digital, uh, pieces. So, Look, I am not throwing the party for mass adoption, even though this article is like really hoping for it. [00:11:15] Fine. Yeah, I don't see that. But look, it, it's not getting stopped. It's certainly not taking the path of like Facebook's metaverse that is no longer doing metaverse, but still is meta. Right? So one thing I note, uh, you know, I've noticed about Amazon is if you try to get a, if you, if you were to return, you get the option to either get the refund in. [00:11:39] Amazon balance or back to your credit card and you know it's equal value and they will give it to you a lot faster. If it's Amazon balance. There's similar things with if you get the delivery At a later date, you know, they'll give you a dollar credit or, or, or something, you know, digital media of credit. [00:11:58] But they are definitely trying to do these things where you have credit within their ecosystem. I can absolutely see a play here towards making that more of a unified ecosystem where those credits can be valued across, uh, multiple platforms where they are. Right now. Right now it's, it's, it's a single pla, like it's a single usage. [00:12:23] Most those incentives take. Gotcha. Yeah. Well, the last one I found, I mean, I saw it. I saw it on Twitter. It made my heart hurt. I felt so bad. But here, here's why I'm pulling this out. An N F T collector accidentally destroyed $129,000 crypto punk. Oh yeah. And. This is particularly sad because frankly this is like being run on like cnbc.com and so right now, like this is the kind of thing that brings N F T into the mainstream. [00:12:55] Like the, the, the articles we're talking about are like coming outta like. Coin desk or out of, you know, like, uh, you know, decrypt in our ecosystem, this C N B C, not our ecosystem. This is what the public's view of NFTs really is. It is a hot mess where even people that know their stuff lose their stuff. [00:13:16] So this is just the sort of like cold water on frankly, anybody who thinks like, Hey, the user. Experience is fine the way it is. Like it's just not, it's not the one it, [00:13:29] yeah, that's a good point. W w I just don't even know what to say. There's so much to be done for user experience in web three. It's, oh, man. It's, it's frustrating. There's a lot of potential. I guess I should look at it that way, right? Yeah. Lot of upside. And you know what? Frankly, if you are, you know, a holder of crypto punks, you just got that much more rare. [00:13:55] I'm like, at this point, how many get accidentally burned? You know, if you're moving stuff. Well, I mean, with crypto, if you doing stuff, test something with a different wallet, a different, like, I mean, I don't play at that level, but I mean, I have a couple NFTs that I would be, I wrapped in, I had a punk, I wrapped a. [00:14:12] It scared. I mean, it scares me thinking about that. And I also don't quite understand how you, uh, you don't understand how you burn into it. Address book. It's, it's, it's really too bad. I, I, you know, peop you know, mistakes happen. That sucks. Yeah. There it is. Right? Like, and at certain point, like, you're like, oh, it's on you. [00:14:29] You made a mistake. It's on you. Like, how many times are you gonna say that? You're like, no, it's really on the ux. It's, it's just not where it needs to be for people to be moving around this level of asset. So heart goes out to you fella. Yeah. Start with, look, if you're listening to us and considering purchasing your first N f t that is a punk, I'm gonna say reach out to us. [00:14:53] We'll help you. Don't do that. We'll buy something else. I'll sell you something for a lot, a lot less. Okay. Hit me up. Buy a moon cat. How about that? Discord And wrap the moon. Cat. Go wrap that moon cat. I got a deal for. Yikes. This is not financial advice brought to you by, we don't have an affordable project this week. [00:15:15] We're, uh, they're all affordable. They're actually some, I'm, I'm looking at that recent art blocks thing. I think there's like some shopping to be done coming up. I think, oh man, this is actually one other piece of news art blocks coming out with their own marketplace. This is, this is big. I. For the, the generative art marketplace. [00:15:33] So we've seen all the problems with not even problems. We've seen the, I should shouldn't say, just problems. We've seen the wars with royalties, with, with platform fees. Art block is coming out their own, their own platform for secondary sales. I think this is going to take a good percentage of the, uh, art block sales. [00:15:56] We'll see what happens. Archipelago. Another attempt at being a marketplace for, uh, generative art, sales, never fully caught on. I think this has more potential because it is from PL and there's a really dedicated community there. It's sort of where I. Was able to get a lot of traction with my dashboards early on, and I know how feverish that community can be. [00:16:21] So I am, I'm, man, I'm definitely watching this one and, and curious to see how this goes, to see what, uh, what sort of fees develop there. Open sea. Is not focusing on those fees right now. I mean, even talking with people there, they are focusing on minting fees. So, you know, there's a platform that's trying to, to, to do something a little bit different. [00:16:47] I, I, I'm, I'm curiously where these platform wars end, I think we're far from, from settled. I'm still skeptical of blur being the, the, the king as everybody seems to be, to, to be crowning it right now. And man this. Uh, I think it'll be more, uh, more of a shake up than, than maybe people are letting or, or people are, uh, predicting right now. [00:17:11] Yeah. I, I think you have a much better pulse on the art blocks marketplace opportunity. Uh, I just, I just dunno how you compete with zero fees, but maybe there's, Additional experience elements. Maybe there's like a custodial holding where you protect somebody's assets. I, I, you know, I don't know. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't look, I don't know entirely how it's gonna go, but I think there will be incentives and look, a lot of people do things with the, the promise of maybe something happening in the future. [00:17:46] All right. Yes, the scene, oh, that in mind there was a rumor of a mask token going around this week. A a meta mask token that has been dispelled, unfortunately. Didn't see a few dashboards pop up. I don't know if, if anybody's still hoping. It seems like those have been dispelled, so I think we can move on now to our, to our project. [00:18:08] Would you have for us this week, George? The pro. I mean, I don't have any projects. Here's what I was gonna say. I'm watching these recent, uh, I'll say like one ETH projects that Kevin Rose was highlighting on his podcast. Mm-hmm. And he was like, his affordable is one eth mine is like Hmm. Point two, 0.1. [00:18:26] Yeah. But I'm curious, anything that he sees sort of value in at this point and then sort of watching the, the normal hype cycle go up and come back down. So far, every time we have talked about. Wait, watch and see it drop. Like it, it happens. So. Oh. Huh. We haven't been wrong. No, we haven't been wrong. We haven't been wrong in our estimates that you should wait and watch the number, number go down and then go shopping. [00:18:54] So, uh, I'm kind of like waiting on a couple of those. I'm like doing this sort of like picking up the trash of like two weeks later off of Kevin Rose's recommendations to see like price and luon. Because there's quality somewhere in there, certainly with artists, and if he's hyping that artist once, they may have it again. [00:19:09] But, uh, yeah, that, that's like my, my current thought. Anyway, we are talking about wash trading, how to identify it. And just to be clear, yeah. We've talked about recently, right? It's what we discussed this recently, like what is actual wash trading? I think it's, man, this is, Good, good topic here cuz we, it has come up in recent episodes and it's hard to define. [00:19:40] Yeah, well you know, it depends on who you talk to cuz I don't even know, like technically they say like, you know, in February we had that huge bump and it was up 126% versus the previous in terms of activity happening on X two. Why do blur looks rare And we, we saw and have speculated. Potentially, you know, according to certain researchers, like what one in five transactions I've seen anywhere from 20 to 40% quoted as being wash traded. [00:20:09] I think it can be difficult. Technically what we're talking about, it's market manipulation and it's when, uh, you know, someone basically trades with themselves to like one wallet to another, to artificially inflate the price, give this illusion of liquidity. Of a little bit of that FOMO drive up. And then once at a certain point, everyone, you know, gets the signal, then they begin to, to dump on the public once they think it is a, a project on the run, and it's. [00:20:39] It seems very hard to stop and we see a lot more of it. So here's the question, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm looking at a project, someone listening is looking at a project. Mm-hmm. What are some of the elements that we're looking for to identify wash trading, to set off a little pattern recognition for us. [00:20:59] You mentioned earlier volatility. Volatility in general, spikes in activity are a pretty good, uh, indicator. I, if you see something that shoots up abnormally from where it was, that's a pretty good indicator that there's something inor abnormal going on now. I can't say that that's, you know, a hundred percent true if there is something, you know, if something shoots up, you know, we also know that there's a lot of cases in NFTs where there's a news of, if you own this, you'll get X airdrop whatever, you know, some something of that sort. [00:21:37] So there are cases where it just happens, you know, but definitely it's worth looking at when there's volume spikes. There's a, one of the issues that I see. That the reliance on volume as a metric of, of, of, of leaders, of dashboards, uh, is very easy to to game, especially when you have, when you can do these wash trades that really don't cost much, especially if you put the, when we've got 0%, uh, platform fees. [00:22:11] If you can put in 0% royal. Uh, you know, you're not really. You know, really it doesn't really cost anything to do this wash trading, and it can get you to the top of many different leaderboards across different, different platforms. Crypto Slam recently did a, uh, did analysis of the wash trading that is happening on blur and found, found much more than what was being at attributed to wash trading than some of the. [00:22:42] Some of the other researchers out there, and it's not saying those researchers are wrong, I think it's just that their methodology was maybe outdated compared to what was being done on blur. There's things change over time and incentives definitely drive, uh, behavior and I think that we have to keep that in mind as you know, as these incentives are put out. [00:23:07] The behavior will change and adapt to, to maximize their, those rewards. Yeah. So you're mentioning here like what, what we can do here is like check the trading volume, and so here are the triggers. You have high trading volume, fine. However, if you see a lot of volume that doesn't match with the number of active trader. [00:23:30] That's a flag. So you're looking for not just high volume, but high volume of unique wallets as far as you can tell, and you're absolutely right. This is on the rise too right now because frankly, back when we started this podcast a couple years back, you know, the gas fees would chew you up. And so if you're out there thinking you're, oh, I'm totally scamming got, you're paying a per a hundred dollars triple digits all the time. [00:23:57] That was what the norm was, right? And now we're seeing, oh, I got excited when I saw something under like, oh, $90. I'm pulling the trigger 20 right now. I'm like, when I see 80, I'm like, man, there's something crazy going on. And that. My, my gas fees used to be on current affordable projects. Ency crashed regularly anyway, that way. [00:24:21] So there you go. Here's your trading volume. So it's volume versus unique traders. Here's another one. You can analyze the transactions. A bit and just like look at the activity of the project and you are looking for those large number of transactions between the same accounts. And you can kind of eyeball this almost, right? [00:24:39] Like, is there a clever way to do this, Andrew? [00:24:41] I mean, I know you've created dune dashboards, right? Where you could put in a project and you can kind of look at the, the top traders. Is there a way to see like, oh, it's between these two? No, honestly, folks more clever. Openly has really good, uh, mm-hmm. Charts on this at this point. Open C'S Incorporated Great charts right in there. [00:24:59] Gem has some different ones and, you know, gem being owned by openly, it's actually different, but I found that those are so much more, uh, accessible and useful. There's so much more accessible than, than many that are platforms Now, I don't go to a lot of the dashboards that even I set up and, and created, uh, because most of the information I, I need is right there at this point, and. [00:25:24] That's, I mean, it's, it's great. You can look at things like, so when we're looking at those, when I look at those, I'm looking at things like how many, you know, at, at the top holders, at the, uh, how many are owned by the top holders? What those, like who are those top holders? Looking at the recent activity there's. [00:25:43] Yeah, if you haven't played around with that, that, that, uh, tab definitely check into that one a bit more. It gives a pretty good overview of, of the, uh, collection at this point. Yeah. And another one here is look for, and we talk about this, the, the weighted distribution of ownership. So if one wallet owns more than. [00:26:07] A number of percent. Like as soon as you start talking about owning like 5% or more of a project, like massive alarm bells should be going off. Especially if there's a cause that person can move that market very quickly. The team being paid, I think that's, again, they're holding like, like that's lockup. [00:26:24] Like, you know, I think there's a different thing there that can actually be good. I'd say if they aren't selling, but the second they start selling, that's, that's a bad sign. Right. Yeah, it's a very bad sign. Uh, alrighty. Uh, you can research the team. You mentioned the team. You wanna understand who they are, their track record. [00:26:47] We have talked about this ad nauseum when you're analyzing a project, but again, if they are that anonymous team, which we do not love, and you can't tell whose wallet is, who's in there, uh, they probably have a, his, you know, a history of creating these project. Have a strategy behind wash trading that hypes and then drops on the public market, right? [00:27:08] Because their job is to design something that looks good off the bat, has confidence, but is anonymous and they have enough wallets to move things around. And you know, it's a i, I think it's a rinse and repeat. I think there are digital teams running this play again and again and again. Right now. I think there are, and I think there are plenty. [00:27:30] Named agencies, teams, backers doing this as well. I've, I'm, unless I'm, unless against the, the AAN teams, if they have a track record, if you can prove that you've done something I've seen plenty of cases of, of non and on teams being yeah, like here's my, my reputation in a, an adjacent area like trash removal, and now I can do crypto NFTs. [00:28:00] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I wanna see a track recording crypto. I mean, I think there's a lot of ways, I know there are a lot of ways to prove yourself without actually, you know, operating, you know, operating a contract that. You know, millions of funds or even hundreds of thousands. There are ways to prove without doing that as the first step. [00:28:22] Alright, a final one here. I don't know if you have others beyond it, but I really like this one because it is the anti signal. Basically, check social media for the project, and if you see it pumping on like Twitter, not even pumping, but just a lot of chatter on Twitter. About the project that's like just excessive or spammy and like, you can tell now, which sort of like profiles are, are junk. [00:28:50] Like if you see that type of hype on social, like give a search for, I'd say run, don't walk, follow, see people you follow, keep that that filter in mind when you do these searches and see if it's actually people that you're, that you're confident in. And if they're talking about it, you know, maybe that's. [00:29:07] Story, but see what they're saying. I have definitely found that, oh, I found that I get a lot more dms from people pumping things and then look at like, who they're, you know, almost, they're not followed by anybody that I know. Like that's a pretty good rule, even though they have a good following. But. [00:29:27] Ah man. There's always new scams out there, right? Yeah. Well, it depends on the day, but I think that's a good, I think that's a good way to look at it with those different options, you know, as we, uh, get to the end here. I don't think we're gonna have time for Vitalik again this week. I know, I know. [00:29:43] He's been waiting in the waiting. He's waiting. He's like on the line right now. I just, you know, uh, maybe I'll send him a moon cat M&M's only and I just dunno if we can do that. No, I can't. I don't have the technology for that. All right, well, I will see you out there and leave a, leave a rating. Leave a review. [00:30:04] We love those things. Later, later.

It's like, how would you do it? What are the elements? What would it look like? What would you need? So first off, Andrew, what is, uh, what's going on in your wallet? What's. Oh man. So I playing or I played around Alene. [00:01:10] Oh, I think it minted a couple. One in my main wallet of this. Uh, well, I don't know, I should get into the maybe next project, next episode. Um, we've talked, look, there's this cool project from Deca. Deca has been doing some cool stuff. Um, they have one from, um, that's. Matt Cain, cool artist called Etch. I've been playing around with it. [00:01:32] You can MIT these. They're like, I dunno, they're very cheap to mit, but they, you can combine them with, um, with NFTs that you already own and then add words to them. Um, deck has done a, done some interesting projects they definitely work with, with impressive artists. And they come back to these projects to eventually close these things. [00:01:53] And, um, so I take a look at them. If you're, uh, , you know, I dunno. Maybe I can get into it more another time, but that's something I've been playing with anyway. New in my wallet. . Yeah. Spoiler alert. We may feature it in our next, uh, next episode a bit more. Uh, Daven and Daven have to buy something new. Yeah, they're, they're cool, they're cheap. [00:02:13] They're, I think they're like oh, oh eight. Nice. All right. I'm happy to say I've, uh, I foamed in, uh, I missed my reserve price because I just fell asleep at the wheel. But I, I foamed in, I got myself one of the, uh, one of the cock punch, uh, little roosters. Uh, after seeing that, uh, Tim Ferris was like legit starting that podcast, launched actual episodes is creating content around it. [00:02:39] And also, uh, I kind of like was pulled in after I saw that even on his main podcast, he's using his ad. To promote it, uh, which is, you know, is pretty sizable. So if he continues to do that, that ad space just has value in and of itself as an attention. and you know, he's talking to Steven Presfield, the guy wrote that. [00:03:00] You gonna have to skip six minutes now before I start listening. . Hell. Yep. 17 minutes in, you get 30 seconds of content. Uh, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's valuable. It's because people listen to themed into it. Yeah. IED into it. Um, yeah, I just took a look. Those, those, uh, etch pieces are 0.008, which as we, as we look at this right now is about $10. [00:03:24] Um, so, you know, don't, they're not going to go up a lot in value immediately. This is something that, you know, you can get them for that price. Obviously people are going to just keep getting, uh, new ones. Um, I think the idea would be for what you could potentially do with these, what they might make you eligible for later on, especially if you have a collection. [00:03:43] Um, so. Cool. Wanted to mention that after, since we had already spoken about them a bit. All right. What news we have? What's that? The news. Let's get her some headlines if we ready. Yeah. Let's you have you have more top line on, uh, on Deca or No? No, I, I think that's, that's it. I think we're. Looking at, uh, we're gonna talk more about, about NFT marketplaces because that's, that's the biggest thing that's going on right now. [00:04:10] Different marketplaces trying to, you know, whether you're, whether they're adding. Royalties back in, taking away open seat. Can't seem to make up their mind. But Magic Eden has been doing some, some impressive work and they have, uh, now launched, uh, polygon support, um, that's big. They have also introduced a discount and reward system for, for users. [00:04:32] I mean, I think this is maybe one of the more authentic ways to, to go about it is actually just saying what it is. You know, what they really want to do is, is create a loyalty program for users. We've seen how, uh, how different marketplaces have gone about trying to reward with the different tokens and. [00:04:53] It's been, it has, you know, the jury's still out on how that's working for Blur. Uh, it's hard to say that it's been super successful for rare in terms of, of staying power in Mar uh, uh, in the, the N F G marketplace, uh, landscape. But, you know, magic, heat, and I think they're, they've got, they've done some things right? [00:05:15] I can't say. You know, use the, the marketplace much. Um, just looked around and, you know, I have been impressed and I like what, what they're doing here. Well, I think one thing that when we were playing with Magic Eden, I was really impressed with were the analytics and the breakdown of projects and distributions. [00:05:31] And, you know what, Hmm. I think without Magic Eden, without them in the game open, Would not have that new beta functionality of analytics wouldn't be there. It, it's not, you know, like a monopoly by itself is not about to increase or improve the, the service without, uh, competition. So I am absolutely rooting for Magic Eden to keep pushing the quality of what these platforms should be able to produce. [00:05:56] All right. And speaking. Marketplaces and, uh, man, we've got flow. The, the, the, the, uh, blockchain that powers the, uh, the top shop marketplace. Um, you know, which has been relatively quiet. We've talked about how that has, they've really failed to make much of a, a comeback after, um, after seeing a lot of attention. [00:06:19] And now flow is down to about 90 cents. It's the all time low. Um, and I wouldn't , they're also saying the dapper has downsized further, doesn't seem good for this alternative blockchain. And you know, it makes you think like what happens to these. You know, to these assets, do they sort of get lost over time? [00:06:37] How do you know if it makes you think a little bit more about the underlying asset? You know, if, if people don't care that much about that, what does the, what does the N F T really mean and how much value can it hold? Yeah. Is the N F T value, uh, retained outside of the network or? only as far as it's built on that platform. [00:07:00] When it comes to something like an N F T on Tezos or Solana, for some reason, it's my feel that like if it's a legit, especially more on Tezos, that like it will have life after as opposed to it's only good in the context of its micro marketplace. Put another way, if I take my LeBron James card out of flow, transfer it somehow, cuz there's a bridge at some. [00:07:26] it really actually is kind of pointless because it can't be comparatively priced and traded in and amongst its peers in the same way. Does that make sense? Yeah. I think it's maybe a matter of art versus a collectible. Um, when we're talking about a, a piece that's collect, that's created by the artist and, and put on the block that blockchain, I mean, that. [00:07:49] The, the card, the, the top shot card of LeBron James wasn't created by him. I think if, if there was some something that, you know, was more directly tied, maybe it would have more value. And I think maybe that, I'm not saying that it, it completely, um, holds value, but I think there is something more to it than the collectible that. [00:08:10] Sort of becomes when the, when the collection becomes less relevant, it's hard for, for any single piece to hold value. And I, I tend to agree with you that there's a, it's a greater chance for the art to, to hold through when, when Tezos has been such a, um, such, such a common place for. For artists to, to go explore, especially explore, especially early artists to jump on because like the fees were low, easy to mint, like, you know, and it seems like it has, it feels like a grunge, it's almost like, it's almost, yeah, it's almost a, you know, the, yeah, the, the, you know, garage, the garage kind of place to go do your work. [00:08:51] The, I don't know, like a, yeah, grungy kind of, you know, the. , the minor leagues, you know, like the, the place to kind of work it out. And sometimes you like, there's some really incredible work and you, I mean, I'm not saying that everyone's looking to go to e there's some artists that have stuck there and a lot of them, a lot of the artists that have produced great work on Tezos then go on to also do work on, on e Man, you get me excited. [00:09:15] I wanna go tezo shopping again. I liked the, when we were doing, I liked that string of stuff that we were doing. I, I was. You know, looking back, I'm like rarely embarrassed about the random stuff I pick up on Tezos as opposed to like the random PFPs. When I like look back at our past projects, I'm like, do I really still hold a stupid raccoon? [00:09:30] Yeah, I do. I like, I'm gonna go burn it somewhere. Right. Yeah. Like I'm not super proud of that. I really like. , you know, some of those artists we picked up. But hold on, here's a, there's like another narrative here on this. Like, I just was curious in your mind, like, what do you think the, uh, like the peak price that flow hit was? [00:09:47] I wanna like, kind of like test your soft and a, uh, stupid market cap memory. I, you know, I, I don't know, but let's see if, I'm gonna just guess we're probably, uh, I don't know. Did it get $12? Playing at home. Guess a number? Uh, it is higher than $12. Do you wanna guess again? 20 . It is higher than $20. Do you want to guess again? [00:10:14] Oh, oh, man. Uh, okay. How we doing? People at home? Where should I go? How are you doing? ? Higher, nowhere 40. Yeah, 39.24 and it did that during the fever pitch of April of 2021. Like right when everybody was jumping on to this, like, what a great way to onboard fiat people into NFTs. Look how easy it is to get your money in. [00:10:43] Come on, everybody. The water's warm. Wow. Ouch. Wow. Yeah. Ouch. Ouch. anyway. . Uh, in other news anyway, you wanna find another way to, uh, depress people? Send your, to use. Well, there's a new way to use your credit card to buy NFTs. You know, you don't have to use dapper or, or flow anymore. Meta mask is now enabling. [00:11:12] Users to buy NFTs to buy ETH using PayPal. So, you know, if you got your PayPal hooked up to a credit card, hey, it's right there. I mean, it is good to have more onboarding options. You know, I think we're gonna just, I, I, I feel like Beta Mask has been trying to add new features. It feels a bit like they, I mean, they hadn't innovated the. [00:11:33] on wallet features in, in quite some time, and it feels a bit like they understand there's a lot of competition coming and it, that's the, the most direct experience that people have, uh, with their, their assets. And there's, uh, uh, a lot of potential for improvements. So, um, you know, interesting, it's, it PayPal's already sort of a digital currency. [00:11:54] We're just linking it to a little bit further, so pretty natural here. Yeah, pretty natural. And I think part of this is being pushed by the fact that Stripe, I think we talked about this in the news, launched its own mm-hmm. Fiat on-Ramp. What is amazing about this is that, well, like right on the heels of us talking about how Flow by Dapper Labs was so good at turning a credit card into flow, like into coins that I would buy the cards with. [00:12:21] Boom. Done. That functionality is now. Three clicks away on Stripe to embed on your site in the same way that you collect credit card payments, you can now turn those payments into crypto. They have an on-ramp, you know, tested and built. So it's like everybody now has that type of on-ramp capability that, you know, dapper had this like unfair advantage and it was like all about flow. [00:12:48] This like beautiful user experience, like that's now being adopted. Everyone. I think that's huge. Yeah, it absolutely is huge. And I, I think the man, the ease of of, of being able to transfer these, I mean, to, to buy and, and move these, uh, from, from, uh, fiat currency to, to crypto, I think is going to become the, you know, the, the easier you can make this in your wallet, I think the better for users. [00:13:14] I think there's just going to be a ton. I a ton of new opportunities to, to go between these two. It has been somewhat of a difficult, uh, process and it's also why I think we've maybe run into problems where we don't really know how much is, is held. You know, how much these, these digital. Dollars, you know, these, these U S D, uh, U S D or denominated currencies. [00:13:38] We don't really know how much is there, but I think this is a much more direct way to see how, how the flow is going when you, uh, have people d just buying it directly and going into their own account, into their own meta mask, holding it directly rather than, uh, Hey, trust us. We bought it for you. Just, uh, you gotta hold it. [00:13:55] Yeah, this is the not your keys, not your crypto argument. And I agree when the on-ramp is pushing people to have their own custody, for better or worse, um, we have a system that is safety built into the decentralized nature rather than centralized systems of trust, which have been, um, eroded to the point of non-existence thanks to ftx as example of how quickly you can just steal customer. [00:14:23] You know, fortunately in other news, he's been arrested finally. Um, but he, um, you know, he is, yeah, actually maybe remembered, hopefully for inoculating the next group of users, uh, that come in, uh, to just frankly not trusting anything with a centralized exchange. A fewer money is in a web two database. It's not. [00:14:47] Yeah, I mean, uh, it's something that we've, we have touched on before, how much NFTs have done to to, to get more people to use their own wallets, to self custody, to their assets, to be. To be accustomed to using their own wallet. And I think that's part of why, you know, you've seen meta mass become so popular because it was, it was kind of the default. [00:15:08] It was what was everybody was using and then there was a huge surge and it was all, there's a lot of NFTs and we've seen some, some attempts at, at NFT wallets, and I think now we're understanding of this is, this is really a, a major touchpoint for customers. Is, you know it, how they're using their wallet, especially if you're, if you're providing on and offboarding, uh, or on and off ramp, uh, channels for or for your users. [00:15:34] And then you start thinking about, you know, if you are the, if you're a bit responsible for, for how the transactions are presented, you know, you need to. You know, you've seen Meta mask improve, how they, uh, present what you're actually signing. Uh, when you sign a transaction. I think we'll start to see some of the, some of the, I don't know, the, the backend features become much less. [00:15:57] Present and have these, uh, these interfaces become mu much more friendly for users. And then, we'll, on top of that, I think we'll start to see more. Um, I don't know if it would necessarily be through token, uh, just giving token rewards or, you know, what it may be. But I think we will start to see, um, see these wallets and, and start competing much like the, uh, the N F T marketplaces. [00:16:21] Uh, Yeah, I'm embarrassed. I'm looking at the buy options in my, like meta mask right now. I don't see it. I see Coinbase pay, uh, transact moon pay wire. I guess they're rolling it out soon. It's an announcement, so I have, I have yet to use it. [00:16:42] I got the same, I've got no secret hidden features yet either, so yeah, I'll have to wait and see when that actually goes live. , oh man. Okay. Oh, wait. Next we've got, we got ANCA Brands. They're launching their own ppf, P N F T Collection Mind Mocha Brands, you, they own a piece of just about every. Gaming, N F T Company, um, seem to be invested in everything and I, I, you know, I guess looking to, to raise , raise some more funds, uh, or I mean, release a P F P N F T collection. [00:17:17] Sure, go for it. Like, I don't know if now is the best time, but Right. Who knows? It's the way, it feels a bit like they're just, I'm trying to raise some more money, but hey, you know, I hope this works from, uh, definitely not something that we are recommending at this, uh, as our feature project because George has a great one for us. [00:17:38] This would've been a gem like last year, cuz each one it says, I'm like reading it. Well open up the utility called realm. Utility realm, huh? Well, yeah. Represent a collection of core pillar. . Um, metaverse. Uh, metaverse. Buzzword. Buzzword. Buzzword. Grow community. Yeah. A year ago. Benefits member benefit. This would've been a plus a year ago. [00:18:00] Oh. Play through games. Good game and game assets. This is buzzword bingo. I think it's. Solid . Uh, anyway, uh, yeah, I have , I have an affordable project for you. Um, so, uh, announced, I think it was, you know, around 12 December 14th, maybe I forget exactly the date, but you two can now own a Donald Trump collectible card. [00:18:28] That's right. Collect trump cards.com. , I, this is not a joke. Uh, this was literally something that, uh, the former president, uh, announced, um, in a press conference as he's wanted to do. And these are limited edition trading cards and they're only $99, 45,000 of 'em, right? Yeah. Yeah. So you two can get one of the rare 45,000 of them. [00:18:54] Um, you know, there's utility here as far as I can see. You can win thousands of prize. , um, Miami Dinner with Donald Trump, a Mar-a-Lago group Cocktail hour, a group se a group zoom session. That's pretty good. Look, so we are mocking this and I think there actually is something to like the idea of being able to release a project that did, you know, if you did this the right way and, and could do something, there's something there. [00:19:21] However, I don't. I, you know, I, I don't think it's, you know, I'd be surprised it's the thing if it, if it really, um, delivered on all those promises, I suppose is , right? So, hold on the floor price right now if you want Trump digital trading cards and we have this link is, uh, currently 0.008. You know, depending on when you're doing that. [00:19:44] Uh, so far, 86 eth in total volume has been done across 25,000. items. So these things are going, and here's the thing, there's a tight-knit community that is very interested in this stuff and there, you know, there might be value here if you wanna like, try to flip something, um, on like one of the like, You know, special prize things, although I, it's on Polygon, right? [00:20:08] I assume this is why you're bringing it up. Cause you gotta pump your polygon bags and score another one for the Polygon Biz Gev team. They are out there working it. And I got, you know what? See, polygon doesn't care if you're on the left to the right or the crazy. They're out there, they're out there making blockchain space and selling it for you affordably. [00:20:29] Uh, absolutely. Hey, there's the, it is the choice. It's the choice for a. Project like this, you know, Starbucks, Nike, Trump. All right. So you get a sweepstakes code. All right? You'll receive an email with sweepstakes code enter shoes. Please enter a valid email address when you purchase. Uh, you'll enter that entry code sweepstakes win trump prizes.com to see if you're a winner. [00:20:55] No purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes technically so you could go enter those sweepstakes without buying this, by the way, cuz they're using sweepstakes. for those of you who are, uh, nerds out there in this sort of, uh, legal nuance of how sweepstakes work. Um, interesting. Yeah. So that's also, I'm assuming there's no on chain, uh, proof of a winner. [00:21:16] No. No, there's no on, so I don't like that Then, so like my angle is gonna be like, oh, is there like, um, a rare one that people don't fully understand, they give you a chance? Like no, it's uh, only on purchase. Do you get a chance? To enter a raffle, which by the way, you can enter for free because how sweepstakes works. [00:21:34] See how that works. Um, and then it's, you know, the price is still holding though on. Um, as you can see, George has, has looked into this . He's, Hey, he spent some time looking into the rules here. Has somebody, what does that stack of handwritten, he play arbitrage on this got behind you there? Huh? Is there [00:21:52] I'm the proud owner of, uh, what was it? Trump for Senate dot eth because I think at some. , they're gonna want that. And I'll be happy to take all of that money and donate to two progressive causes. I may keep some along the way, you know, I mean, I think you should just go sweep some floors. [00:22:11] not that bullish. No, there's no, I It feels like, you know, after you, you tear a, after you tear the top off, there's no continued value on this. Uh, as far as, uh, as far as I can see, right? People are doing it. , you know, I mean, unless they probably get access to events, so, right. There's that, I don't know. Um, anyway, that's, it's affordable. [00:22:36] Um, I don't know though. So , you wanna lead us into our topic now? Unrelated topic. Just so happens that these two things are just right next to each other on this totally unrelated topic of how to run the perfect N F T. , we are gonna just sort of go back and forth of what are the elements. So let's just say, I don't know, we were lacking of moral compass and we were consultants on a project and they're like, well, we wanna maximize how much money we can draw from an audience. [00:23:10] What are the elements? That you would bring to bear? I can kick this off if you want, unless there's something you're like itching to kick us off with. No, go ahead. I have some ideas here. You know, I, I, we've all definitely seen a ton of griffs in the NFT space. Man, it's, I, I don't know that I, the perfect one's tough because there's some stiff competition for grifters and, and crypto and NFTs. [00:23:37] All right, so here's my first one. You have to start off with complete and anonym. or complete celebrity. So you need to take one of these extreme polar tracks. You need it. No one needs to know you or everyone needs to know. Let, but you still, yeah, I'd say you gotta be attention. You gotta be. You've gotta create a, a, a mindset of us versus them is, is part of that. [00:24:04] It builds, plays into that. Because with the small one, it's a, you know, it's the, the David versus Goliath. With the, even with the bigger group, you still feel like it's, you're, you're the, I don't know, maybe the, the marginalized group. . So it is a us versus them mentality that you sort of, you need, I think for running a grift. [00:24:24] Okay. So you're gonna bring in the US versus them or, I'm writing all these down us. Yeah. Well I think it's actually a great pro. It's actually something that it, that goes into a great project, but it's also part of a, if. Buying into the, the graph. So I don't know. , it's, you know, careful here where we say great pr, what's a great project versus what's the, what's the Grift, right? [00:24:45] Lovely. I lovely. End up a love. We end up actually like being like, oh no, that's a good project. I'd buy that. Well, we'll see what we end up. Okay. Can't be in the middle. You're saying ? No, no, no. Uh, I would say you need. A 10,000 or less supply. I think supplies have to be limited so that you can, later when you get to it, manipulate the price, uh, because you need to, when we get later, and I don't wanna spoil, but you need a, uh, less than 10,000 batch of, or 10,000. [00:25:18] Okay. Yeah. For NFTs, yeah, I would say that's generally true. I guess it, what I'm thinking is generally you just need to, the other part is maybe you need to control a, a, a good portion. You, you need to be able to control a good portion of the assets in, whether it's directly or, or, or setting up a, a nice network. [00:25:40] Where you know that there's a, a certain amount of control and, and guaranteed votes or what have you. If, uh, it comes to those things. Yeah. If it's like a Dow or something. Okay. That's, that's mine. So, uh, a controllable 10 K or less batched, what is, what is something you would add? Uh, we'll just, you know, I think. [00:26:01] The, the idea that it, that you can control a high percent of those assets and I think having maybe more, ah, having the network of people to, to do this, um, that can, hmm. That add. So the network of people that, that will be able to control in all that will be able to help control the assets and also add what seems like more credibility to a project. [00:26:27] I think getting people, the, the, the grift almost, you've gotta get some, some credible people in it to make it look good. I think those have been common in many of the, the grifts that, the biggest grifts that we've seen, . Yeah, no, you need um, sort of a credible whale, right? A credible N F T whale. Mm-hmm. or someone basically not you to vouch to vouch for it cuz what you're trading on is trust. [00:26:53] Yeah. Whether it's, yeah, I think it's generally, you know, influencers or Yeah, I mean the N F T influencers, you know, we see different levels of those and pH man there's some you need pay so off for that. Okay. So I think you need a tight initial white list that is oversubscribed. , you cannot leave things on the shelf. [00:27:14] I think people have to have felt like they missed out. And if you are meeting the entire demand, the entirety of the demand, um, You're gonna have a problem because there's gonna be no one to FOMO into secondary and tertiary markets. Yeah. You gotta guarantee that sells out right over even if you are in there yourself. [00:27:33] I know. Yeah. Well, I think that that goes back buying. Can we control own books a lot? Buying your own books with, let's say an RMC war chest of money? Hypothetically speaking, if I wanted a book to go to, number one, I would use a war chest of campaign funds to buy my own book in mass. So drove it up hypothetically. [00:27:50] I would do that with NFTs. Just literally, no, I'm literally saying that it's not even hypothetically. So oversubscribe whitelist, and it must sell out. [00:27:58] What's the next step in our grift? [00:27:59] All right. What do we got here? Um, I I can keep going. Oh, go for it. You what? Hit us with the next one, George. , this is very important. You need to have a very high creator fee. Oh. Because you're gonna be taking advantage of secondaries, right? You need to get a taste. Yep. Yep. Uh, so I don't know, let's say around, hmm, 10% or more. [00:28:27] Totally unrelated fact, I'll give you and the listeners at home, one guess at what the creator fee is for Trump Digital trading cards. Hmm. [00:28:39] All right. I think another one would be an example of, of winners. You gotta show the, the people that have won from your project that have done really well. You gotta have some people that. That, uh, can, can vouch that have sold something for a high price, um, that have, that make it look like a successful good project to be in and whew, I wanna be like that. [00:29:02] I'm gonna call that. Like, that's such the Ponzi round one, right? Ponzi round one has to be people that have flipped these four a win and then you make sure those people get pressed. It is critical because that's what starts that greed. where it's like, oh my gosh, people are buying these things up. I bought mine for a hundred dollars. [00:29:21] I flipped it online for $300. You don't believe it. So perhaps you're thinking about with that sort of, uh, arsenal money. Now you're gambling a little bit, but let's be honest, you're, you're a grifter. Uh, you need to be sweeping that floor at some point, but also pushing it up for certain people to then talk about it. [00:29:39] So maybe what you do is, I would say, put a finer point on this, the proof of. , uh, I would pump the rarity. I would look at the rarity and then like make a game on that. But I would even go more, uh, sinister than that. Uh, I would have somebody buy something that is like technically rare and then have another account pay and overpay for it between those two accounts to show that people are overvalued. [00:30:03] Good old wash trading. Huh? Strong wash trading on high. , uh oh Yeah. Show that demand. Cuz people aren't just, they're not just buying the floor. They're, you know, they're, they're big fans of this thing. They believe in it, right? Well, the rare ones, maybe if you get a rare one, if you mint another one. Oh my gosh. [00:30:21] You know? So that's, um, just a, I feel like I kind of, I did a plus one on yours there. So here's my next thing. I think we've done that with a couple of these. . , you. All right, so here's my next thing. You need a future hyped event that has potential utility, but is not entirely clear Utility. Yeah. You gotta have, you gotta have promise of utility. [00:30:42] Something's coming. Something. You're gonna get free something. You're gonna get access to something, a big thing will be announced and you're gonna wanna hold this thing when that thing happens. I need, you need a hype moment When a holder's only event. On Fire Island or Fyre Festival? . Is it ? I forget where Fyre Festival is. [00:31:07] It was, I don't remember. I got something, I got that wrong. You know what I was talking about? ? Um, here what I'm saying, a hypes moment in the future that is, uh, both exciting and unclear. not, not specific. You need a non-specific, exciting thing in the. I don't know. I feel like people should hire us for this stuff. [00:31:27] We're given all the way gold here, man. I know, but you know, when you look at this, it's like this is, if you change a few words here, it's actually what you need to do, . It's like it's a lot of the effort. . No, but like the wash trading is a bit like that's over the top. Right. Obviously. Yeah, I, I understand that. [00:31:48] But no, there's, there's obviously things you would take out and there are things like, hey, if you actually, you shouldn't be super specific about saying like, Hey, we're going to have a token that launches in mid-December of this at this time and it's gonna drive you this much value. That's definitely not promise, date, and a token. [00:32:05] Oh yeah. Never promised dates. Again, I said hyped moment in the future. I didn't say date. Uh, that is exciting and non-specific. Um, alright. My, my next one is, and this may take a little more technical investment, but you need, you need to get staking and yield involved. You need to have people holding actually, so you need Oh yeah, yeah. [00:32:28] A certain amount of volume flipping, but you need people like staking that thing so that they are not constantly dumping on the floor. Cause the danger here is. , um, people dumping to the floor. Um, and that's the thing that you're artificially trying to boost up. Yeah. You wanna, yeah. You want 'em to hold that You wanna maybe reward them by, with maybe tokens for, for holding that I would even say, yeah. [00:32:50] I mean, I think the tokens get a little scary to me cuz that's how you piss off the s e c, but. If you're really grifting, you probably want tokens. So I'm gonna say token. I mean, if you're Grif. If you're grifting, you are absolutely adding a token in here. It's what I think best. Best the best. Yeah. I mean, it's easiest way, it's actually, it's, I think it's easier to lock up supply of, of tokens without people generally noticing. [00:33:18] Compared to NFTs , it's yes. Um, alright. Tokens and staking. You know, I haven't mentioned, I think the art has to be passable or unrevealed, [00:33:29] but the problem is on the reel. I think there's a, you can be unrevealed, I think. Yeah. There it has to be passable. It has to be, yeah. It has to be somewhat legit. There needs to be something. There's gotta be some belief that, hey, look, this is, there is real effort that went into this. It's not complete junk. [00:33:47] They've clearly spent time on this and, and, and, um, at least gotten the right artist to work on it. So they're taking it seriously. Yeah. I would actually go an AI generated route here. So it's like you can claim something nuanced, but you didn't have to pay anybody for it. And, you know, train the ai Well, if you, I mean, if you train a chat g p t to start spitting. [00:34:10] New ideas for the AI that, Ooh, yeah, there you go. Bun, boom. Done. I mean, boom. Done. It just passable, art passable. It can't just be a copy paste of board ape, like I think we're even on a grift level. Like we're kind of pa, we're above that . We're above that. There's stuff in here. There is, and I think, you know, if I was gonna add something, maybe we spoke to this a little bit before about getting, you know, credible influence involved, but I think getting big, getting a big investment of some sort in, in the project that's even outside of the N F T, you know, essentially we believe in this so much, you know, that looks really good, right? [00:34:49] The Andreessen writes a check for the, the underlying platform tech. You're like, What could go wrong? Yeah. I mean, if they're valuing just the tech it that much, imagine what the, the N F T is gonna be worth in the future. I mean, that's the real asset here. I used to say like you needed that discord community running nonstop and pieces like that. [00:35:12] I feel like there's a little discord overload. However, I, I think there might be a value for like a rarity play of like, if you own this type of. you get access to like the Trump disc or the, sorry, oops, I'm some exclusive thing. Let's say you hypothetically had a social media asset, uh, some exclusive room in, in where you could only enter if you had a thing. [00:35:37] Yeah, uh, yeah, I think there is a, maybe the discord number isn't as big or the activity, but yeah, you better have a, a ridiculously large social media account, even if you are getting, you know, 32 likes from your 38,000 fans or whatever it might be. Um, I also have another one non redeemable. Right. This is the, this is the golden, this is the golden utility. [00:36:05] And this is the, this is one of the things that like, not to throw shade at Nike, but you know, they offered up the boxes, right? And then after the fact said, only if you're in the United States, like, I mean, okay. Ish. , but what if it were even tighter than that? Let, like say there's like a traveling, you know, hotdog stand or major speaking event that you happen to be doing around, and only if you're there at that time can you get access to it. [00:36:33] But that's, that's for the fine print. You get access to backstage at a thing if you're wearing certain things in certain places at certain times. And you can do a fine print, but it could look like access on the top. You know, I think Gary V did this like pretty honorably I would say, with regard to conference events and access. [00:36:52] But you know, he's not meeting and greeting the like 40,000 plus holders of his, his pieces. But there are a lot of promises out there. [00:37:04] So I guess, uh, you had mentioned something about 10 K or less. Uh, you know, I, I'd say that's how you start. But if you're really a top-notch grifter, you don't end with one collection. There's more because it's so, you know it, you've got to grow it because. , there's, there was so much value. I mean, you know, we know this, you know, these projects are a bit of Ponzi, so if you got some winners, you know, you need some more money to keep pumping in and let's get new buyers in here. [00:37:33] We're expanding the ecosystem. We're taking in more money and delivering maybe even less than we were before. . Yeah. A second, a second and third round. Yeah. I mean, of. Of that NFT drops. Yeah. Th this is a lot of golden here. I think, you know, if, if we hadn't given away all the secret sauce here, we could have been dynamite consultants for this [00:38:02] Yeah. Uh, So for the record, this is not financial advice. We don't recommend you do this. We are speaking on behalf of ourselves, not any of the companies that either of us work for , just in case. No, definitely not that we've seen in the space at all. Um, this isn't based on, I mean, oh man. Could, uh, Felix, like we need someone to just do a mashup of all of the worst things that have happened in. [00:38:30] I don't think we need that. . Yes, I, it's sort of the Silicon Valley H B O show of just the N F T crypto space. Man, that could be very entertaining. I would watch it. I would watch it. It deserves to be done. It deserves, I mean, we're gonna get a sandbank and free documentary, but I think we need something bigger. [00:38:46] Oh man. That's gonna be painful for some people. I mean, hum. Luckily, not one of them, but I mean, you know, other than the contagion, you know, we're all part of that. Oh, yeah. No, I guess I am a, a indirect victim of that bs. All right, so here's what we have just to run it down so you can hear it all together. [00:39:03] How to run the perfect N F T Grift Extreme and Anonymity or Extreme Celebrity with a. Foster the US versus them in the narrative 10 K or less in your badge so you can control a high percentage of those assets and bleed it off. Credible, N F t, whale or influencer being publicly involved, oversubscribed whitelist. [00:39:25] You must sell out even if you're buying your own book. High creator fee, we recommend 10% or more proof of winners, right? Ponzi initial round of wash trading would be it cuz it's even better if you're wash trading, picking up a piece that you know is valuable and then reselling it to yourself and another anonymized wallet making a big deal about how rarity is spiking. [00:39:46] Then you need a hyped moment in the future. That is a both exciting and non-specific. Something big it is coming. You'll be surprised. You may know the people. Say words that inspire people, don't put a date on it. Tokens and staking. That's just functionality you need to, to hold the floor. Uh, unrevealed art for a period of time. [00:40:08] And then it has to be passable Art that is not a complete copy that people can narratively tell themselves like, all right, this is close enough to art, or something I like and. Some sort of outside investment news to the company. Uh, exclusive social entry that elite pieces give you. Unredeemable utility events, i r l or what have you, and a second and third or as many rounds as you can possibly make to really milk the heck out of your audience until they are, uh, completely broke, until you cannot get any more money out of them. [00:40:44] And then you find a new audience and need the same thing, you probably need to go. Probably with a NA anonymity and then go to Extreme Celebrity because after you burn down your name, it's hard to do it again. It's the top level. I feel like that's, uh, pretty solid. Good advice out there for ripping people off. [00:41:03] Yeah, this is solid. I mean, man, we've seen some hyper success using these tactics. Uh, I feel like if we just, you know, we can put a book together or something, you know, get a few, get a few nice quotes from different people in the space, they'll, oh man, this will be a hit. Oh gosh. . Here's the . I have nothing else to add. [00:41:25] This is a perfect, sometimes you have a perfect episode. This, this is a perfect episode. I think everyone learns something and I'm very disturbed. All right, see you out there. All right, good one.
Theme: How could a man with no official authority, no military might, and no loyal allies possibly be a king? Yet this is what Jesus claimed to be. And for this bold statement, the religious “leaders” at that time roused the people against Jesus to the point that they called for his crucifixion. But in the unlikeliest of ways, this is how Jesus would show himself to be the king he truly is. Because in going to the cross, he would suffer the punishment for the sins of the world and win paradise in heaven for all who believe in him. For the thief on the cross and us, we see Jesus as the king who is now at God's right hand, ruling over all things.

We're asking the fundamental question. How many should I mint? 1, 2, 3. All right. I don't want to spoil it. No spoilers. We'll let you know exactly how many demands, the exact number. You know, you can use this formula any time. No. Okay. Now that we've over promised on that one, what are you seeing in the news? [00:00:23] All right. What are we seeing out here? Oh man, goblin town, this, this, and if the collection has sadly taken over the space and it's not just this one. So goblin town is, is kind of a, a term used for bear markets. This collection dropped at just the right time. It was a free mint. I believe last I looked, it was up at seven and a half feet or so. [00:00:44] Uh, it's insane. What this is doing there's they've had some, I don't know if it's just Twitter spaces or. Uh, you know, clubhouse or whatever that they're just, it's like six hours of people making these Doblin sounds. I don't know what's going on. There's a ton of knockoff collections similar to this. [00:01:06] It's all over the place on the leaderboards of a volume right now. There's just, I don't know. This is what everybody's turned to because you know, people can't turn away. Even in a bear market, they got to find something and I don't own any of this stuff. It's fun to watch a, I I'm glad people are having fun. [00:01:24] I'm glad some people have made some serious, easier, you know, be careful a little. So, you know, this is, this is also where you can get burned really fast. Yeah. I mean, in the seven day, look on crypto slam. I see goblin town, like second to board ape, which is just impressive in terms of overall sales volume. [00:01:41] If we're talking about sales volume, just like number of, uh, things change in hands, you know, overall, the overall marketplace for NFTs in the past week is like down seven, 8%. I think, remember our adage here, the faster it rises, the faster it falls. Right? That sort of the thing that burns brightest burns briefly. [00:01:58] So I don't think we need to talk anybody out of not buying this. So don't worry. You have one of these and you've got it for free. You should sell this. Okay. This is financial advice. We don't get funny. That is financial freaking. That? No. So we're why are we saying, uh, certainly like, remember moon birds that went up very, very quickly, but it had an established docs team. [00:02:25] This isn't like, nobody knows who the person is like, so, okay. Could be anybody. And guess what? Usually people have chosen to be, uh, anonymous for a reason as we have begun to find out time and time and time and time again. So that is a huge factor. Again, the speed at which bitch it went up. And then also I'll just be honest, like you overall art, not there. [00:02:48] Uh, the community is funny. I will say that meme community is real means are like, it's not a joke. Well, it is a joke, but it's not a joke. And how much the value bedded and imbued in it is as anyone who has ever seen Elan wax poetic about [00:03:04] Elan news. We're not going there today. Now we can skip it on for, he doesn't do too much in an empty. Now. All right. But yeah. Well, so we'll move on to the next story here. We've been talking a little bit about a theory from, uh, ENS names and we just saw that artifact, uh, recently purchased by Nike. They scooped up the dot sploosh dot Ethan name for 19.72 E. [00:03:30] Uh, homage to the, uh, the founding year of Nike get that's 20 that's about $35,000 at the time. Uh, you know, it's moving quickly up down. So I w you know, who knows what it is while you're listening to this, but yeah, that's some serious eat their congrats to the seller who, who thought to, to get the dots, woosh dot neath. [00:03:49] I mean, that's not even smoosh daddy. That is dots. Daddy for 28. So ENS names are hot. Yeah, I just, I don't understand how you find the seller for these things. How do people end up finding them? But that it's good to see, you know, that's, that's some serious adoption. I mean, we had that, we were talking about sort of the per usual, remember the, the, the domains with, uh, the numbers, the three number domains that daddy, if it's like, that's been on the like absurd rise. [00:04:20] It's it's worth. If you're, if you're looking out there, we set it in the previous one. We don't know how to make it an affordable project, but daddy's names are affordable, wildly affordable. So if you want to go speculate, the problem is you have to speculate on a lot of them. Cause if you're buying, what is it? [00:04:32] swoosh.dot dot swoosh, Dottie. Like it's an absurd thing that just happened to land on the branding. Bingo coin of it. But you know, there's, there's still a lot of names out there. If, uh, if you're out there, I mean, you can fish, you can fish, but yeah. And then you get to do one by one. I've definitely spent some time looking for different things. [00:04:55] A lot of dead ends. So you gotta be patient looking for, for the right name. Well, what's your approach to that? I mean, not giving away your secrets, just you look around and variously. Think about it. I end up doing it forever and then realized. My great fines are not actually very good finance at all. I think. [00:05:13] And I've registered a few, but yeah, thinking of trying, trying to think of like domain names and, you know, then didn't see the whole four digit number coming, or I think all the five digits are gone and I'm sure all five digits are gone at this point. That's only 10 K so we know how fast those go. I'm sure. [00:05:30] You know, I'm sure, you know, the numbers have been popular, but I still can't imagine that there's somebody just flipping, you know, 7 3 9 1 2, 4. You know, each day, you know, all these numbers. I think it's hard to understand how you know, how to find all of these different numbers in the end, but, you know, strong names are definitely going to be a good play here. [00:05:54] I just tried to get 8, 6, 7, 5. Jenny, can I turn to you? Definitely not a Dottie to dress buddy's already burned to. All right. And you know, maybe we should move on to the next one because we're seeing how strong, what it means to have an ENS name. That is an Ethereum name. Of course. Now we've talked a bit about Solana we've. [00:06:14] Uh, I think George finally was able to buy into a project. We had a couple instances recently of Solano, some bugs with the chain. One was that it was. It was down by, or is running behind for 30 minutes. Then the, uh, the whole chain just went down for another four hours. This isn't, this isn't that unusual, unfortunately. [00:06:38] And it is one of the security risks that we talk about, like going to, uh, many of these other alt layer ones, those being non Ethereum layer ones. Yeah, it drops the price of Solano also kind of tanked like 14%, who knows why, but probably not, not because it seems to break on a weekly basis for multiple hours, which is, you know, the antithesis to reliable. [00:07:03] And what's more when that drops. So to does any underlying, you know, NFT that you have on, on the platform, right? I don't know. I really I'm trying not to be such a hater and I, that's why I bought my, I have my see fish. What is it? See society, fish. I bought we posted in a reason, one, so disclosure, I have one of those cool analytics behind that. [00:07:27] You know, I'm hopeful for the platform overall, but like, it's just, you know, you got to have a platform that's reliable enough to stay up and instill confidence. And if it doesn't, there's a lot of downstream negative. And along those same lines, we've got another headline here. There is a new Luna chain that was launched a Luna 2.0, it crashed immediately. [00:07:48] I think it was over, down over 70% right away. I think it is close to dead again. So, you know, kind of saw that one coming who's that. People weren't putting much into that. I assume it was people just getting airdrops and then immediately selling. But yeah, let's be careful getting into, to any other of these new chains that aren't tried and tested. [00:08:12] No trust, no token. And really it's just, you know, it just serves as another sad headline here. Hopefully some of the people that I got just completely run, run over and the last one got a little bit of, uh, an ability to recoup some of that. But again, you know, can, can we just stop creating these unstable coins and these these pieces have just hurt the market now? [00:08:38] Well, yeah, I think that's it for a headline. So let's move on to our affordable project, which. When George is going to talk about today, it wasn't his originally. Tell us about this, George. All right. I have to, I'm not sure if I'm going to reserve. Thanks, but good old myth. 47 dot east, uh, in our, in our discord has been talking about flour. [00:09:03] It's not that myth. 47. Hey, there's Keith address the names? Like what about name and then number, name, and number. All right. Let's park that in the back. We'll have a brainstorm later. Myth, thank you for bringing this and also keeping up the trend, uh, and really what this is. It's a, it's a game, it's a staking game. [00:09:22] Uh, and it's on it's on a theorem, these funny looking flowers, the flower fam, where you can get the, uh, project, right. Flower fam flower fam. Yeah. And we have the Lincoln here and essentially what you can then do. Currently like the floor is at 0.1, three, three decent activity around it. But like, it was only about 12% of them open for sale because 88% of them are staked and they're staked because when you stake them, you can earn what's called Huntington's. [00:09:54] So you stake your JPEG and then you earn yield on that. So a classic sort of yield play here. You can save up that honey coin and then buy things like a B, or the ability to attract, to be things that would then accelerate your staking rate. They've got land plans, other drops planned. It is a pretty robust discord. [00:10:13] And so far the honey USD is holding up. But I think the play here full disclosure, I, you know, I love rollercoaster. So I jumped on this one. Is to, uh, to take a look at it and, you know, try staking a fire if you want to get in on it. But also keep in mind, you know, the I'm making $4 a day. So I will I'll, I've made my money back, all things considered in a couple months. [00:10:37] So I don't know. Uh, but here's the thing. These types of dynamics work completely fine. Right? The defy game dynamic is fine until it's not fine. When the music stops number drops pretty quickly. And I've been saying this in the discord. So I I'm in this, but also have sort of flashbacks to Peggy exi, where it was fine when all of these guilds were jumping in and buying new assets in the marketplace. [00:11:04] This is very important. The money must come from somewhere. Right. That coin is supported because people are buying it like me. I just spent money in to play this game. They get a percentage of that that goes into the economy. They're going to launch new flowers, secondary market, as long as people are buying and you see new people coming in, you're fine. [00:11:24] Once that stops and profit taking starts, right. Everyone has upgraded to a certain level and they start to say, oh, I don't care about yielding that much more. I care about cashing out and you can look at these flows on contract and whatnot. Once the amount of sort of minted honey is being superseded by the spent money, the spend meaning things that are transferred out of the ecosystem. [00:11:47] Once that inverted. Number drops fast. I actually thought it was a lot longer window for when that would happen. And I thought that would Peggy assay. I took back my initial, my initial amount pretty early, but then I kind of like, oh, every best. I thought it would last a few months, even at inverted. It doesn't when it drops, it drops quickly. [00:12:04] Cause there's not enough market volume volume in terms of the number of holders of the actual coin to sustain a price selling pressure, which will again, drop quickly. So here's the. Absolutely not financial advice, but if you are going to get into it, monitor that. And as soon as you can you take out your winnings, you take in what you were, you know, spent a play with it, and then you're much safer playing. [00:12:30] And be wary of doubling down when you're at or nearing top of this because you're juggling knives. And so there's the full disclosure. It's a cute looking game. Well-built, I'm very impressed with the technical elements so far, it's easy to use. So Bravo to that, leaderboards, whatnot, cute looking flower. [00:12:48] I'm going to try to get a B I'm sure I'm going to get, I'm going to make mistakes. Even after I said this I'm going to hold too long. I guarantee it. [00:12:55] All right. Yeah. I think you were right in describing this as a rollercoaster. Ups and downs. And remember that rollercoasters take a lot longer to go up than they do to come down. But yet he, you seem to be a sucker for a rollercoaster ride and just remember to get off the rollercoaster, they don't keep going. [00:13:12] Nothing good happens to ride the roller coaster too long. Good. I'm going to send me back to run it, run it again. I'll say, do you have also, do you have some Thai food? I just want to gobble down a whole bunch of Thai food here. I'm just super hungry. Some of them settled. Whatever right. Well, thank you for bringing that one to us. [00:13:32] Myth 47 and George for talking about that, I think we'll move on to our topic here. How many Timmins knit them? All right. Let's just mint the ball, all the things, all the things. I think in a previous episode, we talked about sort of when you have conviction, get more than one, so you can hold one, sell one in this classic, like, all right. [00:13:50] I paid for what I got in four and I think that's fine advice. However, There's a nuance to it, depending on what, you know, what the base price is and what your appetite is for being able to afford that. So I've seen, you know, recently we talked about, I had an opportunity to admit to us Nazis and I, and I didn't, I think, you know, it was 0.1. [00:14:12] I was like, eh, I had medium conviction and now looking back, I'm like, I wish I got to, however, there's others that went to junk and I'm like, glad I didn't get. Yeah, I think that's a good point. I think, you know, we've talked a lot about, you know, weighing the risk and reward of, of these and, you know, I think it's worth thinking a little bit of like, what is the worst case here? [00:14:33] What do you think the floor could be? And if we're, and if we're thinking at about, you know, with, for me, the OSA NACI one was, was a smart play because I felt like it was a pretty low low risk that didn't. It was minting relatively quickly, a lot of good collectors. And he's a known collector. No on-site and an artist in the space. [00:14:53] And it's felt like a low relatively low risk. You know, I thought that it could hang around 0.1 to 0.2 for quite a long or even the I'm sorry, even like 0.07 to 0.15, more like that for a time that it's risen pretty quickly to, I think it's around 0.4 right now. And certainly gone faster than I thought, but it's, I've thought about this a lot more and trying to, trying to wait for those types of plays, where I see a little bit lower risk. [00:15:23] And, and when I do see that putting. Uh, you're missing a couple more because it does give you the opportunity. I mean, there's a confused things that it does. One is it gives you the opportunity to potentially mint something, especially rare. You know, when you're thinking, when you're minting, you're getting it at that, you know, the original price. [00:15:39] And you do have the chance of getting something rare. So there, you know, if you believe in the project and you think that it's worth. That 0.1 or whatever the mid price is, you know, theoretically a rare piece from that collection should be worth, you know, some percentage more than that, a mid price. So each mint has a little bit more value and if you do it enough, you will get one of those. [00:16:01] But the other thing is, is that you can, you can pick what you want to hold on to. You can also, like you said, George sell without being out of the collection. I find that it removes a lot of the emotion to me about. Whether I want to sell a piece and maybe end up with nothing in the collection I'm able to sell, maybe recoup, you know, maybe even if you meant three, you know, maybe you can sell one, two or sorry. [00:16:27] Maybe you can even sell to two that you paid for everything. Like you were alluding to, uh, with the flower Fran project, you know, and take your perk of, take what you put in out and then still be able to, to stay in the project and. Not feel like you maybe made a big mistake and, you know, watch it go up and don't feel like you get to be a part of it. [00:16:46] So here's the contrarian view to this though, is that 95% of projects that go through a mint end up with a price that happens below the floor. They just don't make it back. I'm also one to say, like I kind of buy and then I kind of wait and look at it. I'm like, Hmm. Did ya? So I think there are times where I'll get in on a mint, but then watch and wait and say like, all right, what's happening. [00:17:10] So for instance, you know, we're, we're kind of looking at it now. And the, the ex copy that we got is down to 0.6, seven that's X copy. So I would say that if you had time that, well, you could have sold one for. I know over 1.5 each and you know, I should have done that. Cause as, as I did live on the podcast, I meant that to did not mean to you, you know, I'm sure if I did been to, you know, what I should've done was sell on once that price got up to at least one and a half you know, I think that's, that's, that's what I try to do a lot more now and trying to be more conscious of taking some profit to cover the mid. [00:17:54] At the beginning, I would say that there's generally I, you know, yes, you're right. That a lot of, most of the time projects mint out in the floor price ends up below the mid price. I think there's often if you're picking the right projects, there's often a little exuberance around a mid doubt and The potential to, to, to sell something for over the mid price at that point, you know, it's not obviously for all projects, you know, you want to be picking the right projects, you know, and that's something that I think is easier said than done, but at the same time, it's. [00:18:29] Wedding, some things passed by if you don't have much conviction. You know, if you think that there it's a high risk, if you could give it, doesn't seem crazy that the floor price might be half the mid price. You know, if that seems to be feasible, you know, that's not, that's not great. For me to want to get into something, I wouldn't have real high conviction then if that's my prediction for it. [00:18:50] Yeah, again, easier said than done to actually to know that, but if you're, if you're looking at these things, you can generally get some sense of how fast it's minting. I, if I think it's going to. Mint out anyway. I'll probably, then I see that it's moving with some of the art blocks things recently that I talked about in the last episode I've been kind of waiting until there's about 30% minted at a, at a decent pace and see like, all right, this is, this is moving fast enough that I. [00:19:18] This is the lowest price and people are buying it. I don't think that it will take all that long to sell out. And I don't want to have a gas war and hopefully convince maybe two or three of those before it goes and get to choose something. You know, it's different with different collections. We've had, you know, we've talked about things that are pre reveal. [00:19:34] Pre reveal often is a great time to sell sort of before, you know, people buying. Unscratched lottery tickets, not sure what they are. You know, that is often a great time to sell. We saw recently a project that we're talking about in the discord record guy, we actually saw that those went higher after the reveal. [00:19:54] That's pretty unusual, but. And I think when you do have one that you're buying CRE reveal, it's, it's, that's one where it's worth selling. At least if you have a couple of words, selling something pre reveal and maybe holding if you want to play that game to see if you get something else, but not so bad to be able to take some, some profit before you know, before finding out if the practice is going north or south after the, uh, after that point. [00:20:18] Yeah. The, the other thing is like, if it's a Freeman, obviously max out what you can meant. No question. Right? Come on goblin town, goblin. You said it yourself, especially in a market like this. What I like is the confidence of saying like on the free mint, clearly the, the founders are saying like, we are going to get secondary gone. [00:20:36] Right? This is interesting. So you're saying free mint. You should meet more. Mint as many as you possibly can and frame it, like, I dunno, right? Like get yourself. Yeah. Obviously watch that gas, you know? We've had some, that's a low gas recently, although I have noticed some with that a lot more spikes days, weird days. [00:20:55] Very weird. It hasn't been as, I don't know, it's been quiet in the space, but. I don't know, I guess this has goblin town, right? So the, I want to come back to, because I was holding the point of the reveal, right? This game of the reveal of like, oh my gosh, excitement is coming. So I sold pre reveal on wrecked guy and I, you know, I made money. [00:21:17] Look, it was a free drop. So if you're one of our affordable projects was Deakin's amazing. Pick by India. What a great community. We've talked about it. That then give you a free drop four wrecked guy, wrecked guy pumps to like over and ease. Well over. I think it's down to like 0.6 0.7 now are supposed to reveal, but there was, there was a high point. [00:21:38] I made him, I made an error by selling before the reveal and in my mind, here's the. I did you make an error? No, I didn't make an error. I made half an hour is what I made. Right. That's what I most times that's the problem, right? It's an end of one, but my thinking is that the average sort of distribution for the overall resulting reveal, meaning that like we can't tell a certain image and then the owner just. [00:22:09] Changes the URL and each one has its own image. You're like, oh, this is the 1% rare. Oh, I'm in the 90%. Not rare that technically should be if the market's price right. And average emiratisation across the entire collection. So you move from this, like, am I going to get the one one-on-one 100 or do I want to get my smooth out average value right now? [00:22:29] And I'm like, I'll take the average value. And maybe that was, you know, I could've made more if I waited, I think most of the time though, there's hype, there's interests. There's people that want to play that lottery game. Cause they're like, oh, one of these could be worth 10 X the rest. And you're like, yes. [00:22:44] However, you know, what game, what game do you wanna play? If I had to, that would have been a great thing, but I didn't have the power to do. Yeah. So I think that's a case where, you know, it would be nice to have two, those were, I think they were just actually per wallet that they were given out, uh, for DJs holders. [00:23:01] So I don't really, I mean, it would be hard to have the, have gotten more than one unless you had multiple wallets, uh, holding them. So, yeah, that's a tough one, uh, for this many, you know, this discussion of how many to mint and I think you can actually apply. This idea to how many to buy when you're able to buy something at a low price, if you aren't going into it. [00:23:19] And you know, think that it's about the low as it's going to go. You know, it may be worth getting more than one, but you know, you never know. It's more looking at, you know, what a most people gotten into to the project that where most people willing to sell. And, you know, I think you can sort of learn. [00:23:36] That if you look at the activity for some time, uh, one project that George mentioned recently is the act guitars. And I've, I've been watching that activity a lot and that's just been it. Hasn't been looking for it to get down to 0.6 or so, and it won't get below point. 8.67. And even then it's just one or two, they're sticking at 0.7 and that's when we're, you know, I start to see after a while it starts to look a little bit more in tasting at that price range. [00:24:04] When you just see that anything that gets much below that is getting snapped up pretty quickly. But it's also one where, uh, they're cool pieces and. I would want it to have more than one in the end if I could, because I think that there's a good chance that they, uh, you know, that they could catch on at some point. [00:24:22] And I would hate, I would like to be right and like to stay in the collection. You know, if that, if that does happen, like, like when I say right to be right with, uh, being able to take some profits. Yeah. Because you want to hold it, I guess I'm getting a little less diamond handsy with some of my projects at this point. [00:24:41] I think. The larger sort of upside I've lost out on. And it's like thinking I have to like, hold these things forever. Like you can always get back into the project, frankly, like the chance that you were like happened to be holding, like the one thing that's going to go wrong. Uh, so I've, uh, I've begun to be getting back to our episode about head and shoulders, right? [00:24:59] Like I'm aiming for like the, the, the shoulders and knees, I should say. I'm like, I'm fine taking a profit where it is so that I can find another project, but the, the by twos is really if you're able to, especially for a smaller level, uh, the way to go and, you know, the larger, it gets larger, it can false. [00:25:18] That's where I get that. Yeah. I mean, right now, you know, executors are certainly. I dunno in the affordable range necessarily. It's it's, you know, for that, it's more that you start to see, you start to see that there is demand at a, at a slightly lower price, I guess, you know, but that's, that's one where it's a little harder like here's what I'm going to do. [00:25:39] Here's what I do. So by the way, flower fam the team, I forgot to mention not fully doxed. So lot of, a lot of great signals here. Uh, here's what I think is going to happen. There's going to be increased attention and then pressure. Cause everyone's staking their flight. As soon as the flower fam that price gets close to , I'm going to sell my flour and go get a, go get an Acura tar. [00:25:59] All right. And if that's my play, this is not financial advice. I'm talking about getting one JPEG for another gift back. All right. I like it. I like those avatars. You know, that's when we're, it would be tough to ship to a, get a couple of them necessarily. But, you know, I think that's the right to have the idea that you don't need to be diamond handed about these things. [00:26:19] It's not, you know, this, isn't the case of one project that's gonna take you to, you know, to board a planned at this point. You know, there's a lot of options out there and chances are that there's gonna, that they're going to have some success. And that it's going to reach it. You know, it's going to plateau or it's going to move along slowly. [00:26:37] At some point you had another note here in our, in our show notes that I really want to touch on and it's better to pass on mediocre projects. And with the poor risk reward profile. And save for good projects. You know, we are, you know, we had our shopping list. We're talking about guitars were, you know, bringing up these other, other projects along the way. [00:26:58] And I think it's getting easier to separate the wheat from the chaff. And while you can run around and try to find the next goblin town and bet on every single mean, like by the way, get on whatever free mint you can find do it. If that's your hustle, it's a fine game. Right. You've spent paying gas to be in the game. [00:27:15] Okay. But I think saving up and then really looking for quality projects as a play on levered leaf is, is what I'm looking at still. And I, you know, I don't think entities are going anywhere. Yeah, I agree. And that, that's good to mention that point that I mentioned that I had written there. Just, I think there's a lot of, I don't know, there's a lot of projects that are on sale for people that are going to be around the space. [00:27:40] For a long time and worth looking at those rather than hoping to catch the new lightning in a bottle or, you know, goblin town. And I mean, obviously if it's free, go for it, don't go, you know, don't go giving away your Eve and hoping that your, that it's going to turn into Maurice. Oh, and the, and the project I can never say no to. [00:27:58] I picked up another moon cat, speaking of which they fell below my buy price. I got a little orange tip. Well, smiling, happy fellows. That's a good one. And that's some it's all me. I was like, all right, what do we got here? Wait a minute. It's orange. That's rare. There's a clear face. That's good. It's happy. [00:28:13] Which seems to be they're more frownies than happies. So I got a smiling orange Tabby ready for action for under 0.3 and I waited patiently and just check it's just so much more relaxed time to be trying to. You know, even to, to projects that, yeah, it is nice to be able to, to shop a little bit more, kind of wait it out. [00:28:36] You know, it's hard at times to be patient as a buyer, but I do feel like it's easier when you realize that there's a bunch of different collections that are worth watching, putting on a list and then just be patient. Wait. I know for me, I'm trying to wait for offers to come through for the most part, unless I see something. [00:28:54] That's very mispriced. Yeah. I've been less on the offer and more on the like watching and knowing enough about a project to wait for that in this price. And I'm always looking at the recent activity to be like, all right, where's been the most like lowest low, so not the floor, but the, like the, who got desperate at one point and drop something. [00:29:14] Yeah, I should actually say I've been more, I've been using offers more often when I've already got pieces of a collection offering at a significant discount. And that's the intention is either I end up with it at a discount or maybe it, uh, you know, gets inspires somebody else to go buy it ahead of that. [00:29:34] Or at least make an offer ahead of that. You know, either way I'd be happy as far as someone picking up another piece from the collection or ending up with it at a discount. Alright, good topic. Good theme. See out there, join the discord. Remember none of this is financial advice and leave us a review so we can build up that massive audience so we can avoid insider trading. [00:29:57] That's right. Yeah.
