1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,720
All right, good morning. 
Good morning, GMGM, everyone. 

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,680
It is another beautiful day to 
have a beautiful day. 

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,120
In fact, it is beautiful here in
Chicago. 

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,040
Sun is shining 75°. 
It's an incredible summer day. 

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,960
Welcome to another episode of 
FOMO Hour. 

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,480
This is episode 189. 
Today is Wednesday August 28th 

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,480
2024444. 
No Froak today. 

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,200
That was my Froak impression. 
Enough of that, we've got Mando 

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,760
on with us here as always. 
Mando, Jim, how you doing? 

10
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,520
Jim, guys, how are you? 
Doing fantastic. 

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,240
I was just telling Logan I'm 
ready for school to get started.

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,320
So my daughter is back in 
school, my son is not. 

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,800
He doesn't start till next week.
So I've been running some daddy 

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,440
daycare every day after the 
show. 

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,760
It's been a lot of fun, but I am
ready for his school to start 

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,640
next week and get back into the 
the fall routine and and lock in

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080
a little bit more as the the 
boys in the trenches like to 

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,760
say. 
Folks, you might recognize a new

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,320
face if you're on the stream. 
He has been with us on FOMO hour

20
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:13,080
once before. 
You may very well recognize him 

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,840
from the lucky lead spaces that 
we used to run every day after 

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,400
FOMO Hour together. 
Folks, we've got Logan Hitchcock

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,120
on with us here. 
He is the editor in chief over 

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,400
at Lucky Trader. 
I'm not really sure there are 

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,160
many folks out there who have 
followed the NFT and or Web 3 

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,960
space closer than he has over 
the last 3-4 years. 

27
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,080
So excited to have him on. 
He's going to be pitching in for

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,360
the next several shows while for
Roque is out helping us with 

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,600
that NFT meme. 
Web 3 contents. 

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Logan, Jim, how you doing? 
Hey, good my Tyler. 

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,600
I'm doing well. 
Excited to be here. 

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,560
Zodia. 
Yeah, cutting out a little bit. 

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,960
It was good back in the studio, 
so maybe sometimes the sun. 

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,240
Is when we go live. 
Try it again. 

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,039
How about you? 
It sounds like the same. 

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,440
Same. 
Yeah, maybe it'll even come 

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,920
back. 
Sometimes it, sometimes it. 

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280
I mean, I've been in this 
position so many times. 

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,520
Sometimes in the third host, 
yeah, it gets hurt. 

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Yes, maybe exit, try to get back
in while we wait for Logan to do

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,000
that. 
Folks, what are we talking about

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,360
today? 
It was a busy day of news, so 

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,960
we're going to start with 
Mando's market report. 

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,480
As always, hopefully find out 
why is everything dipping then 

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
tunt telegram that it stopped 
producing blocks. 

46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,400
It seems like no one even cared 
or or seemed to notice. 

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,960
We saw Robin Hood at Solana 
support sun pump flipped pump 

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,600
fun on the day. 
Much to Justin Sons delight. 

49
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,280
We got Donald Trump launching a 
new NFT collection. 

50
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,040
We got magic Keane launching 
their own pump fund for NFTS 

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Machi is back with a pre sale 
and Pac-Man is endorsing this 

52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,560
one. 
Plus, we will do our Arbitron 

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,600
update of the week and there's 
some juicy headlines in there. 

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,840
It's a solid dock. 
Very busy day of news yesterday.

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,520
So we've got a lot to get into. 
So why don't we just get right 

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,280
into it? 
Amanda, let's kick it off with 

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:26,840
your market report. 
Can you dig it, GM everyone? 

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,160
So yeah, go on. 
What happened? 

59
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,880
We really fell out of bed. 
It felt like Bitcoin hit all the

60
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:38,920
way down to 58 K yesterday. 
ETH, wow, ETH is just God 2400. 

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,320
It hit and then bounced and then
salon, I think went down to like

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,040
140 area 142 and then bounced, 
but not a great day. 

63
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800
We've bounced a little bit, 
nothing sustainable, but we're 

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,640
just right back to that 60 K 
area that we've been hanging 

65
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,560
around for weeks now. 
Weeks basically since the start 

66
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,200
of the month and basically for 
the last six months. 

67
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,800
We were at 60 K on the 26th of 
February. 

68
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,720
We're we're at the same level 
again today. 

69
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,200
So haven't moved for six months 
guys, everyone not having a 

70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,040
great time, but it is what it 
is. 

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Bitcoin dominance continues to 
rise as she's gone up to 58, 

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,240
roughly 58% right now. 
So not not been great for a lot 

73
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,280
that altcoin season that people 
were calling for just just 

74
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,080
another false dawn it felt like 
which is kind of got a lot of 

75
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,320
people frustrated in terms of 
specific headlines like crypto 

76
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,040
sold off and stocks didn't 
really do much. 

77
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,080
Stocks were OK yesterday. 
We've got NVIDIA earnings today,

78
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,560
which some people are saying 
like could cause a wobble in 

79
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,840
stock. 
So I don't know how crypto will 

80
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:52,360
react in that world, but yeah, 
we we have been the divergent 

81
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,680
between stocks and crypto has 
really grown since the start of 

82
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,240
this month. 
Stocks bounced basically back to

83
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,520
unchanged. 
And crypto is still down a 

84
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,080
decent amount from where it from
where it was like 70 K on on 

85
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,840
Bitcoin when they had that that 
dump earlier this month. 

86
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,520
So I think people are getting a 
little bit more frustrated about

87
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,720
that too. 
Like, why haven't you got your 

88
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,520
money in tech stocks? 
I do think it will turn around, 

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,240
but people getting increasingly 
annoyed. 

90
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,960
In terms of Telegram, yeah, 
Telegram was still one of the 

91
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,880
main headlines. 
They did stop producing blocks. 

92
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,280
But there has seemingly been a 
lot more diplomatic pressure put

93
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,560
on France. 
There was a headline out today 

94
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,360
that Macron had actually invited
Durov, you know, which I thought

95
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,720
was pretty funny. 
And then he gets arrested at the

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,160
airport. 
Macron says he's got nothing to 

97
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,880
do with it. 
And then the UAE seemingly has 

98
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,920
cancelled a big order for 
fighter jets which which would 

99
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,280
be in billions of dollars or at 
least halted it until Jirov gets

100
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,360
gets out of prison. 
So I haven't checked what the 

101
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,480
Poly market line saying today. 
Like surely his chance of going 

102
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,600
getting out has increased I 
would imagine since that 

103
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,160
headline. 
I was just looking at me. 

104
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,640
I guess it's one day less as 
well, right? 

105
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Like so. 
Yeah, that's the problem. 

106
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,800
Is pretty. 
High. 

107
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Why is this not on the? 
Oh that's I'm on the new page. 

108
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Let me go to the home page. 
Oh wow, Telegram founder Durov 

109
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,600
released. 
Wow. 

110
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,160
Oh. 
I've just seen that it just. 

111
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:25,400
Happened. 
It's up to 94. 

112
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,280
Yeah. 
Wow. 

113
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,480
There. 
You go. 

114
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,640
Wow there there might be a free 
4% for those who are following. 

115
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:36,520
It's only at 96 on now it's at 
97%. 

116
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,760
You got to act fast. 
You can release. 

117
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Man, huge news. 
I would. 

118
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,760
That is not what we expected. 
Yeah. 

119
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:47,360
See. 
Oh, now he's 1992. 

120
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Are we sure? 
He says he's been released, but 

121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,280
then I don't know if that means 
if he's out of custody, he could

122
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,560
be still under house arrest, 
right? 

123
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,160
So it's now got the 50% chance, 
you know what I mean? 

124
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,080
Like I don't he might be 
released. 

125
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,360
Released from custody is quite a
bit different than. 

126
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,960
Under House in terms of the bet,
sure. 

127
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,200
I don't. 
Know what that means? 

128
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,120
But yeah, he's been released it 
looks like. 

129
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,040
So, so be careful betting this 
one folks, until we get more 

130
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:22,280
concrete news. 
But good news, I think in 

131
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,840
general, yeah, perhaps I I've 
been surprised with how Ton's 

132
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,760
been treated. 
It's at it's back at $5.70 with 

133
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,520
the the network went down for 
six hours. 

134
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,120
Well it went down because of the
dogs meme coin. 

135
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,600
It wasn't to do with Jirav, it 
was to do with dogs. 

136
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,440
And so they had a pretty well 
known meme coin that was being 

137
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,520
released on Binance. 
And then I think when that got 

138
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,800
released, it then took down the 
the chain because they just got 

139
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,960
overloaded with transactions. 
So I think that's what it was 

140
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,280
really linked to. 
It wasn't actually linked to 

141
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,640
like Juror of being imprisoned 
in any way. 

142
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,800
But yeah, not a good look. 
Definitely not some good timing 

143
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,720
for the Tom blockchain for that 
to happen. 

144
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,920
But yeah, I think they're 
rounding on the back of that. 

145
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,280
I don't know. 
I mean, when it came out that 

146
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Macron had had basically invited
in. 

147
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,360
Doesn't look a good. 
That's enchantment, right? 

148
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:25,120
So pretty funny, yeah. 
And the $80 billion, eighty 

149
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,480
billion dollar, yeah, deal 
blocked from the UAE, seems like

150
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,559
that's pretty big, pretty big. 
Not small. 

151
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,120
There was some news that he had,
like he'd had his phone tapped 

152
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,840
by France and the UAE like 
together or something like that 

153
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,640
since 2017. 
Like I saw that headline out as 

154
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,600
well, which which I thought was 
interesting. 

155
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,200
Like this guy's been under 
investigation for a while, it 

156
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,840
seems. 
Yeah. 

157
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,800
Duro's phone hack in 2017. 
It says the joint operation code

158
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,400
name Purple Music hacked Duro's 
phone due to the UA ES concern 

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,440
over the use of Telegram to 
recruit operatives and plan 

160
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,400
attacks. 
Durov was like, yeah, so it 

161
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,080
seems as though it seems as 
though he this may have been 

162
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,160
planned for like quite a long 
time, but it could be 

163
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,160
entrapment, you know, like the 
fact that he's if he if he was 

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,760
invited by Macron seemingly has 
already backfired. 

165
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,400
There was some some more like, 
let's say more macro headlines. 

166
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,120
It felt as though again, there 
was some talk about Iran about 

167
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,880
to attack Israel. 
So I didn't know if the sell off

168
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200
was maybe linked to that. the US
said that and we've 

169
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:41,480
traditionally sold off a lot 
when that sort of stuff 

170
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,720
happened. 
So maybe maybe it was something 

171
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,880
to do with that. 
There was other than that, it 

172
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,840
was all kind of good stuff, if 
I'm honest. 

173
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,200
Like there's been a make a dowel
rebrand, but that's not really 

174
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,560
market moving stuff. 
But there was there was some 

175
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,720
news the NASDAQ is going to be 
pitching now Bitcoin ETF. 

176
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,960
So I think Blackrocket, I 
pitched that before that could 

177
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,600
massively increase the volumes 
and activity going on in the 

178
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Bitcoin ETF. 
Again, it was the first outflow 

179
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,880
in 12 days or 13 days from the 
Bitcoin ETF. 

180
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,200
It wasn't ginormous, but yeah, I
was surprised. 

181
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,480
I woke up this morning, I was 
like, how what happened that we 

182
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,800
hit 58 K and it felt like a lot 
of people had that exact 

183
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,720
feeling. 
It was like crypto just sold off

184
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,720
by itself and maybe we'll find 
out later. 

185
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840
That's what made it so 
confusing, right, Is so I was 

186
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,880
checking stock futures and 
everything was basically 

187
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,280
unchanged. 
So it wasn't markets like across

188
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,200
all markets, it was just crypto.
And then I don't know if you saw

189
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,320
this. 
So this is the headline. 

190
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,960
It's been circulating. 
We don't think we have all the 

191
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,840
details yet, but finance has 
blocked the crypto in some 

192
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,200
Palestinian accounts. 
The initial headline was they 

193
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,400
had blocked all Palestinian 
holders. 

194
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,480
They came out and clarified that
it was users in Palestine tied 

195
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,000
to known terrorists and it is in
line with their general AML anti

196
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,480
money laundering policies. 
So we still know the full story,

197
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,520
but that news was kind of 
breaking right when it was 

198
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,760
dipping. 
So I didn't know perhaps it was 

199
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,160
related to that. 
I'm not sure what that would 

200
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,400
cause a sell off like we saw. 
We also saw what Arc B had $100 

201
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,480
million in outflows yesterday, 
so that that killed the the the 

202
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,400
Bitcoin ETF streak. 
The, the sell off happened when 

203
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480
the Bitcoin ETF flows were 
announced. 

204
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,720
So I think it was after that was
announced then you had this this

205
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,440
dip. 
So I assumed it was to do with 

206
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,000
that. 
I think the the the finance 

207
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:43,080
story that had come out 
yesterday morning, but then it 

208
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,680
had been resolved by later in 
the day and then seemingly came 

209
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:47,840
up again. 
So I don't really know. 

210
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Yeah, that's going to be another
one to watch. 

211
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,720
I saw it start to get some 
cheddar on the timeline. 

212
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,000
You know, Sir, we've talked 
about this. 

213
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,320
I think this is kind of your 
thesis. 

214
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,600
But Kaleo, he updated some of 
his predictions for one. 

215
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,360
So he, he, he, he walked back 
his Bitcoin dominance. 

216
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,480
His Bitcoin dominance had topped
thesis. 

217
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,400
He walked that back and said, 
no, he was wrong on that. 

218
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,840
And then he also said, he drew 
out his chart saying slowly but 

219
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,200
surely closing in on the end of 
our time in the 50s, sixties. 

220
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,400
But basically he's saying we, we
go up and down until November 

221
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,240
and and then up only after the 
election. 

222
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,120
So it it seems to be that that 
is becoming a maybe a little bit

223
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,800
more consensus. 
But like October is historically

224
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,600
a very green month for for 
crypto, for Bitcoin. 

225
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,600
So perhaps you know, we'll see 
it sooner than that. 

226
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:49,560
I think another macro headline 
here for crypto, Robin Hood has 

227
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,240
announced a deeper integration 
with Solana. 

228
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,480
So Robin Hood wallet added 
support for Solana. 

229
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,800
This means that any Solana 
tokens can be self custodied 

230
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,280
within the Robin Hood wallet. 
Plus you can now do sends 

231
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,520
receives of any token across the
Solana blockchain. 

232
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,640
So I think that was somewhat 
big. 

233
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,920
You know, we'll see if the Robin
Hood traders, you know, convert 

234
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,240
from yellow options to Solano 
meme coins here in droves. 

235
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,800
But perhaps that is opening I. 
Think they re added it right 

236
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,160
they they've gotten rid of it 
and then they re added it. 

237
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,200
It sounded like they got rid of 
it around like the SEC charges 

238
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,600
and I think they they re added 
it. 

239
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,920
So this was kind of like them 
walking back a decision they 

240
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,640
kind of made before. 
That's a good clarification and 

241
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,080
they they also what infamously 
sold everyone salon at like 16 

242
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:45,240
or or something. 
So perhaps some some salty 

243
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,160
traders. 
Take it off at the they take it 

244
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,000
off at a bad time. 
The other headline which is 

245
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640
breaking right now is that the 
SEC is charged open C would call

246
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,280
given open CA wells notice, 
which I think is now doing the 

247
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,000
rounds kind of half known. 
I think a lot of people had said

248
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,640
this had already happened a 
while back, but it seems like we

249
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,360
got information about it now. 
Yeah, I'm just seeing this. 

250
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,680
So this broke right before the 
show 17 minutes ago. 

251
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,440
Open CEO says Mt Marketplace 
received Wells notice. 

252
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,000
They're pledging $5,000,000 to 
help defend creators against the

253
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,360
SECSEC threatening to sue us 
because they believe NFTS on our

254
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,360
platform are security. 
So the SEC is calling NFTS on 

255
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,800
open sea securities. 
Devin Finzer, open CCEO. 

256
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,480
He's saying we're shocked to see
we make such a sweeping move 

257
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560
against creators and artists, 
but we're ready to stand up and 

258
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,920
to fight. 
I guess. 

259
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,800
So Mando, I guess. 
So you're saying there was some 

260
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360
chatter about this? 
Like I, I hadn't heard anything.

261
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,520
So did you? 
Do you have any other context or

262
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,600
or info on your side about like 
when we heard? 

263
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360
When we heard earlier in the 
year that a bunch of do you 

264
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440
remember like there was a round 
that the SEC sent a bunch of 

265
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Wells notices to tons of 
different companies in crypto 

266
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960
and that we wouldn't know who 
they were. 

267
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,760
A. 
Lot of people mentioned Openc at

268
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,120
that time, but I don't know this
may this this may be when they 

269
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,400
go in public with it or maybe 
they just got it. 

270
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,240
It looks like that that Jiro of 
headline might be slightly 

271
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,720
different as well. 
Telegram founder and CEO Padwell

272
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,840
Jiro has been released from 
police custody and is now being 

273
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,640
transferred to court. 
So I don't know if he's going to

274
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,560
be charged and I don't know if 
that means he goes under house 

275
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,440
arrest or if he is that even him
being released. 

276
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,000
I don't know what Pony Market's 
saying about that right now. 

277
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,280
It seems 77%, yeah, I don't 
know. 

278
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Yeah, So back to this market. 
So it's bouncing all over the 

279
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,000
place. 
Logie pointed pointed this out 

280
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,920
for us. 
So trans, I'm in the fine print 

281
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480
of the bet transporting Dura to 
another location of custody will

282
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:59,600
not resolve TS if he's released 
from custody by resolution date 

283
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,000
but remains in house arrest, it 
will resolve yes. 

284
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,360
But but that's not where we're 
at right? 

285
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880
So it sounds like so he's just 
going to to court. 

286
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,320
So I don't know. 
Is the no still the the live 

287
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,280
side of this? 
I, I, I would say no, Yeah, you,

288
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,480
you talked very long. 
Is my audio better now or no? 

289
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,360
What? 
The heck, sorry. 

290
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,200
I don't know that feels like it 
could resolve to no to me like. 

291
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Yeah, I kind of like the no side
this. 

292
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,600
Yeah, it's back down to 70%. 
So it got as high as 93. 

293
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:45,880
Yeah. 
So you got to be careful. 

294
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,560
But in the the news when it 
comes up to, oh, it's 

295
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,440
plummeting. 
So back down to 64. 

296
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600
It's definitely feels 5050 as a 
as an odd now I would I would 

297
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,400
about the no on that. 
So maybe this is a a good seg to

298
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,480
another story that has a very 
interesting polymarket bet and 

299
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,800
that is Trump and it tease. 
So yesterday we got the we got 

300
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,440
the bombshell announcement from 
former President Donald Trump 

301
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,440
here. 
I'll I'll just play a clip from 

302
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,119
the the video that which was the
announcement 

303
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720
even beholding some bitcoins. 
That was my favorite my favorite

304
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:54,360
part of the the video there. 
So this is I I've called it his 

305
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,520
third collection. 
I missed the mugshot edition. 

306
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,640
So this is actually Donald 
Trump's fourth major NFT 

307
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,960
collection drop. 
So for TLDR of the set, they are

308
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,560
his digital trading cards just 
like his prior NFT collections. 

309
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,880
They're priced at $99 each. 
That's very interesting because 

310
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,080
the total supply could be up to 
360,000 cards if there is enough

311
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,280
demand. 
They're minted from his site 

312
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,960
directly. 
The cards will reside on 

313
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,400
Polygon. 
Secondary is closed. 

314
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,800
There is no transfer or 
additional resale until January 

315
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,880
31st, 2025. 
And these came with some big, 

316
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,520
big incentives. 
So buyers of 75 and or 250 of 

317
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,200
his cards got perks like dinner 
with Trump or a private cocktail

318
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:49,000
reception that seemed to have 
caught the eye of a notable 

319
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,600
personality. 
Crypto Twitter being thread guy.

320
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,560
So we we saw this kind of 
breakout live if you were on 

321
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,600
crypto Twitter. 
So we saw that the antique 

322
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,040
collection drop and then if if 
you Scroll down, you can see 

323
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,200
some of the the variety of 
incentives. 

324
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,560
So if you buy five cards, you 
get these gold branded Trump 

325
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,560
sneakers. 
Buy 99 cards, you get 2 pairs of

326
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,440
sneakers who who wouldn't want 
an additional pair? 

327
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,480
15 you get a little bit more, 
but then where it gets juicier 

328
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,080
is at 75 or 250. 
So with 250 cards bought which 

329
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,280
is $25,000 roughly, you get 2 
tickets to an Ultra VIP dinner 

330
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,640
with Trump and a friend. 
You get 2 VIP tickets for a 

331
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,280
cocktail hour with President 
Trump as well. 

332
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,160
So apparently again this caught 
thread guys. 

333
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,520
So he, he went in and bought 
this and now there is a live 

334
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,520
polymarket bet on will Thread 
Guy interview Trump before 

335
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,120
October of this year. 
So an important detail of this 

336
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:59,280
bet, the dinner I, I want to say
is being held September 22nd. 

337
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,280
So the dinner will take place in
this time frame. 

338
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,640
It's just a matter of will 
Thread guy be able to land the 

339
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,920
interview here? 
18,000 bet I love it. 18,000 

340
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,880
bet. 
Well, it's going to be a lot 

341
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,560
more. 
I'm probably going to bet this 

342
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,240
after the show. 
So so let's let's talk through 

343
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:25,240
it a little bit because this is 
a this is an interesting one. 

344
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,320
The market will resolve to yes 
if footage of Donald Trump 

345
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,480
answering at least one question 
asked by a third guy is released

346
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,840
by September 30th. 
Otherwise resolves to no. 

347
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,040
So that opens this up to a lot 
of different possibilities. 

348
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,720
So this is not a sit down 90 
minute podcast with Trump. 

349
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,040
Like in fact, Malcolm D guys was
able to pull this off at just a 

350
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Trump rally by asking him a 
question on film and getting a 

351
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,360
Trump response. 
So that this bet to me kind of 

352
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,120
comes down to a is third guy 
going to be in the room? 

353
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:01,640
It seems like yes, if he's 
telling the truth and I don't 

354
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,600
think he's lying about it. 
Me, it's going to come down to 

355
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,280
are they going to allow cameras?
If if they allow video inside 

356
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,200
this room, I think he's a 
favorite to to get one question 

357
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,280
answered. 
If he's got a private dinner and

358
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,480
a private cocktail hour with 
with Trump. 

359
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,160
What are you thinking? 
Should we be looking at yes on 

360
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,320
this? 
The market doesn't love it yet. 

361
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,200
I bet yes on this, Yeah, for 
sure. 8:00 to 1:00, not a ton of

362
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,480
liquidity. 
So every $200.00 is basically 

363
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:37,400
moving this up a percent here. 
So this is going to be a line 

364
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,680
that's going to take some time 
to to get much action into the 

365
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,360
the trump cards themselves. 
Any were you surprised to see 

366
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:48,320
him launch another antique 
collection mid campaign? 

367
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,720
No, not at all. 
That seems that seems very 

368
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,600
standard for Trump. 
He's going to make 35,000,000. 

369
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,400
I saw that if it if it goes 
through, right, Like why not? 

370
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,800
You know, he's, he's bullish for
Bitcoin, right? 

371
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,880
Like if you're plus some 
Bitcoin, you want to you want 

372
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,640
to, you know, go after your man,
then feels like this is going to

373
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,320
this is this might mint out. 
That was going to be my question

374
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,040
is how many of these do you 
think will mint? 

375
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,720
So as of this morning when I 
checked, we had about 17,000. 

376
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,960
So, so minting has slowed down. 
It looks like we're right around

377
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,240
17,400. 
That means about about 300 have 

378
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,760
minted in the last two to three 
hours. 

379
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,240
How many is it total? 
360,000 total can be minted, but

380
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,880
I believe they will likely cut 
the cut the mint at some point. 

381
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,680
Yeah, there's no way this mints 
out. 

382
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,920
Have gotten to like 4546 
thousand. 5% minted so far 

383
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,200
basically. 
Yeah. 

384
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,600
So he's already made 1.7 million
though, like even just 5%. 

385
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:08,040
He's made 1.7 million on the on 
the collection already 917 

386
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,280
owners have minted 17,000. 
So, so we're basically talking 

387
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,480
about the average is 200 MTS per
per wallet if I'm doing the back

388
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,760
of the napkin math right here. 
So I guess everyone's kind of 

389
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,400
going for the dinner almost or 
there's a lot of folks pursuing 

390
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
the dinner. 
So maybe third guy will have 

391
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,760
some competition. 
Logie, are are you back with us?

392
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,440
Have you had a chance to or any 
reactions to the the the Trump 

393
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600
in a tea collection drop? 
Well, I'm going to try. 

394
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,160
Can you hear me? 
Yeah, much better. 

395
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,000
OK, sorry, Sorry about that. 
I just ditched the mic for right

396
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,920
now. 
Wild. 

397
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040
All I can say really regarding 
Trump, I'm sorry I didn't catch 

398
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,240
any of what you folks would have
said about it. 

399
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,400
So try to repeat, but sorry, go 
ahead. 

400
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,120
Where are you? 
Going to leave. 

401
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,640
We walked through the we walked 
through the thread guy interview

402
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,680
as well as just the basics of 
the the NFT collection itself. 

403
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,920
Perhaps we'll get your thoughts.
Are you, are you going long on 

404
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,160
or yes on thread guy landing 
this interview? 

405
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,160
What do you think? 
Yeah, my initial reaction was no

406
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,400
way, but given some of the terms
here, just recording Trump 

407
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,800
answering one question. 
I mean, the other D Gods member,

408
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,160
right, That kicked off all that 
stuff from earlier this summer 

409
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,840
that that would have resolved 
to, yes. 

410
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,080
Correct. 
So in that instance, I mean, I 

411
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,160
feel like, you know, I like Fred
guy. 

412
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,560
I feel like this is this is 
something that he's going to 

413
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,680
kind of put on his back a little
bit having this market out there

414
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,040
and he he's going to find a way 
to get it resolved. 

415
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,680
Yes, we know. 
Whatever it, whatever it takes. 

416
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,200
I think so too. 
It's going to end up being a 

417
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,520
nice $25,000 investment. 
Not cheap, not not a cheap buy, 

418
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,120
but if he lands it, probably 
well worth it. 

419
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,320
We, we got into NFTS. 
There's a lot of NFTS stories 

420
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,040
going around yesterday. 
So another big one was out of 

421
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,120
Magic Eden. 
I call it the pump fund for 

422
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,200
NFTS. 
It's not exactly that, but it's 

423
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,040
it's kind of that. 
So they launched this product, 

424
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,440
it's called Mint terminal. 
They're describing and 

425
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,200
effectively aggregated all the 
different types of minting 

426
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,840
platforms into their own 
terminal that they're calling 

427
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,360
near instant minting, as I 
understand it. 

428
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,480
I saw Wally posting about this 
as well. 

429
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,920
So if there are any primary 
mints happening, they will pull 

430
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,280
those in to their site. 
So you no longer have to worry 

431
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,840
about going to external mint 
sites. 

432
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,200
You can mint those NFTS directly
through Magic Eden, which I kind

433
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,640
of like, right? 
It feels like it. 

434
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,760
It removes, you know, a risk 
vector from the the calculation 

435
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,280
of minting new NFT projects. 
But Logan, curious for your 

436
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,520
reactions to this one. 
Is this what we needed? 

437
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,080
Do we need pump one for NFTS? 
I like this. 

438
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,840
I like this a lot. 
You know, it's a little bit 

439
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,160
different, as you mentioned, 
it's, it's more of an aggregator

440
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,720
versus just a pure creation 
platform. 

441
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
But you know, one of the things 
I think was really great about 

442
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,720
Pump dot Fun is kind of like a 
democratization of access to 

443
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,920
meme coins for everybody. 
You know, like beforehand, he 

444
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,760
kind of had to be able to source
them via random tweets or, you 

445
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,680
know, a person you happen to 
follow. 

446
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,640
This puts it all in one place, 
which I really really like. 

447
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,400
Right now access is what base 
Polygon ETH is that it? 

448
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,080
I believe so, yeah. 
Yeah. 

449
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,480
So I mean the mints, like I've 
been scrolling through the mints

450
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,040
that are available, nothing's 
really jumping out of me, but 

451
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,680
that's, you know, not too 
dissimilar from the pumped up on

452
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,000
experience thus far. 
Exactly. 

453
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,360
It's like, I don't think we're 
going to get to a world where 

454
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:51,120
we've got the the boys in the 
trenches minting dozens of NFTS 

455
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,880
per day. 
But I like the aggregate feature

456
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,080
and I think they just they 
continue to build and ship. 

457
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,360
So it's bullish for Magic Eden 
ahead of their potential token 

458
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:05,800
launch, which is now one of the 
main events on. 

459
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,560
The Did you see Magic Eden? 
The ME token got out of the 

460
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,720
whales market this morning. 
Oh, I did not see that. 

461
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,960
So do we have? 
What's this thing trading at? 

462
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:18,720
When I looked this morning, 
maybe three or four hours ago, 

463
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,280
there was about $8000 of volume 
and I think it was at 0.1, so 

464
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,600
$0.10. 
Looks like maybe it's changed a 

465
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,400
bit since. 15 cents, $138,000 in
volume. 

466
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,520
But we don't know what the 
conversion of any tokens to 

467
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,040
diamonds is in any capacity, 
right? 

468
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Not that I'm aware of, no. 
Yeah. 

469
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,360
So I don't know if you're buying
this token at what like what are

470
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:48,680
your assumptions? 
I kind of always wondered that 

471
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,920
with some of these some of these
pre markets. 

472
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,960
But exciting action nonetheless.
We'll see how this token trades.

473
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,040
Hopefully good news for those 
who are expecting hundreds of 

474
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,120
thousands or perhaps even 
millions of tokens. 

475
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,440
On yesterday's show, Jeeves 
surprised us with a punk's 

476
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,640
derivative. 
Meant we started the show with 

477
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,640
it. 
These this Peanuts collection, 

478
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,920
it ended up being the fourth 
highest NFT collection traded by

479
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,360
volume yesterday. 
It meant it for point OO5, it 

480
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:24,520
was I think public and they 
tripled up there at point O 16. 

481
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,960
So. 
So no, not a huge gain by any 

482
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,280
means, but a little bit fun. 
Perhaps a sign that we are back 

483
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,240
that a derivative collection has
at least been a winner here. 

484
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,320
Logan, curious, did you, did you
mint these? 

485
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,800
Did you get any of the peanuts? 
I did not mint. 

486
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,040
I tuned in yesterday to watch 
you guys talking about this and 

487
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,000
had to do a double take. 
Fun. 

488
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,560
I guess I don't have a really 
strong opinion on them. 

489
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,560
I think this is say, higher 
effort than some of the Punk's 

490
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,520
derivatives we'd say, and it 
deserves maybe a check mark for 

491
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,320
that. 
But I'm not going to be, I don't

492
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,520
think, adding peanuts to My 
Portfolio anytime soon. 

493
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,200
Man, I think you're on mute. 
Is that a 10X since we were 

494
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,120
looking at them? 
It's like a 2X. 

495
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,080
So they're like point O point 
OO7. 

496
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,280
We were talking about them. 
They hit like point O23X. 

497
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,840
Like this is a a sober reminder 
of where the NFT market is in 

498
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,440
August 2024 in the heyday. 
This is a collection that could 

499
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,080
have run into what, half an 
eighth, one eighth, maybe lost 

500
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,960
at the right time with the right
momentum. 

501
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,080
So we're not there yet. 
But hey, at least to some 

502
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,640
positive action on the board. 
I couldn't believe how high it 

503
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,640
was this training comparative to
everything else. 

504
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,800
So now it's down to 5th, but 
really only the four majors are 

505
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,720
are ahead of it in daily volume.
Which is another reminder of you

506
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,280
know, how low the daily training
is on the ETH NFT leaders. 

507
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,960
But a fun one we'll continue to 
track. 

508
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,840
I'm not sure how much longer 
that story will go. 

509
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,600
Big news out of the PUPS token. 
So this is one close and dear to

510
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,480
both Faroque and myself. 
Logan, maybe you as well. 

511
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:19,000
So PUPS, they are opening a new 
bridge to Solana. 

512
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,760
So PUPS had their first big 
parabolic run when they opened 

513
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,480
the bridge for the BRC 22 Solana
that got Ansem in the door and 

514
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,240
then eventually Arthur Hayes 
token ran from, you know, 5 to 

515
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:38,160
10 million to to 900 million at 
peak is since round tripped all 

516
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,160
the way back to a thirty $40 
million range. 

517
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,120
They've done the token split, 
which basically rendered the 

518
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,280
salon token untradable because 
it didn't go through the 100 to 

519
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,440
one conversion. 
My understanding of this bridge 

520
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,880
is it will allow you to do that.
There's a migration component 

521
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,400
allowing folks to kind of do a 
backdoor conversion. 

522
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:07,840
So now that the PUPS token rune 
will be tradable on Solana once 

523
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,440
again. 
So Logan, maybe I'll toss this 

524
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,440
one to you as well. 
Is this, is this going to be 

525
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,800
enough to save PUPS after this 
save Mark? 

526
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,200
What? 
I'm not sure to save it, but 

527
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,360
it's a step in the right 
direction. 

528
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,440
This this essentially gets rid 
of the BRC 20, is that right? 

529
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,000
I think that's how I understand 
that. 

530
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,720
Or at least it makes it 
obsolete. 

531
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,280
I mean, not everybody's going to
do it, but, you know, there's a 

532
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,240
lot of fragmentation here. 
A lot of, you know, just too 

533
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,440
many details, too many little 
things that people would need to

534
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,040
do to be able to trade this 
effectively. 

535
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,720
So smart people did really well 
with the Arbs early in the day. 

536
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,120
But, you know, for your casual 
holder, PUPS holder like myself,

537
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,240
you know, too many things, too 
many things going on. 

538
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,240
So yeah, I like this. 
Get to a more simplified version

539
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,720
of PUPS and, you know, re 
establish sort of the, the 

540
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,840
narrative around the token, 
which I I think was lost for 

541
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,680
quite some time, this sort of 
like rabid community around 

542
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,560
PUPS. 
So hopefully that comes back up 

543
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,160
11%. 
I'm I'm happy with that. 

544
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,160
But let's make pups great again.
What's the market cap now, pups?

545
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,840
47 I think I saw. 
Yeah, 47 million. 

546
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,280
So I'm still up 50% on my 
initial buy at at a $30 million 

547
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,360
market cap, but down 80% from 
the the peak where I could have 

548
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,720
sold this thing. 
I've seen worse, I've seen 

549
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,240
worse. 
Bucket yes yield token down 99% 

550
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,320
and then down another 99%. 
Well, this is a good sig to 

551
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,520
another token. 
I know Mando you're going to 

552
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160
jump in a few, but would love to
get your thoughts on this one. 

553
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,880
So I laid out the bull thesis 
for the the this Machi token. 

554
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,240
So Machi, notorious crypto 
Twitter founder, influencer, I 

555
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,400
don't know what you want to call
him. 

556
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,760
He's back. 
He's doing another pre sale. 

557
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,560
His last pre sale he raised 
something like $30 million that 

558
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,680
the token effectively speed run 
to 0. 

559
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,160
So you would think there 
wouldn't be a ton of appetite 

560
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:10,200
for this one, but you would in 
fact be wrong about that. 

561
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,320
So he introduced this new Machi 
token, literally his namesake. 

562
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,080
It's he's calling it the 
unrogable meme coin on blast. 

563
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,000
And that's because it's powered 
by baseline markets. 

564
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,680
Registration is starting soon. 
A few details, $5,000,000 cap, 4

565
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,840
million to the LPA, million to 
leverage buybacks and burns, no 

566
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,120
team allocation. 
He lays out all the blast 

567
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,600
communities which will be 
eligible for the pre sale and 

568
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,040
then how to get into it. 
I think what really made this 

569
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,280
one interesting for me. 
I'll see if I've got the tweet, 

570
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,800
but Pac-Man, Pac-Man Blur 
effectively endorsed this one. 

571
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,240
I did not see that coming. 
Let me see if I yes. 

572
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,640
So here here's his tweet. 
He retweeted Machi and said Pump

573
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,520
fun showed the power of 
innovating on token launch 

574
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,120
designs, baselines token launch 
mechanism extremely novel and 

575
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,480
I'm excited to see it in action.
So he's effectively endorsing 

576
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,280
baseline markets more than he is
Machi. 

577
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,520
But still, it seems like you 
could interpret this as an 

578
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,280
endorsement. 
I laid out my bull case. 

579
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:20,360
Mando, what do you think about 
this one? 

580
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:22,239
Are you going to? 
That was a dangerous tweet. 

581
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,719
I feel like from you, like you 
must have known when you hit 

582
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,800
send that you're going to get 
some blowback on that one. 

583
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:34,000
I saw it. 
I was like, I mean, if if Matt 

584
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,480
is going to launch another mean 
coin, this seems like the best 

585
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:42,000
way for him to do it. 
So maybe, I don't know, is this 

586
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,760
like the only meme coin now on 
blast? 

587
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,000
So Andy is still over on blast, 
but there's really not much. 

588
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:51,840
Let's let's take a look at the 
board. 

589
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,800
I think I've seen Pac-Man 
retweeting like the Pew Pew 

590
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,720
token again. 
Or maybe that's the blast 

591
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:00,880
account. 
Oh God, there there's nothing 

592
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,560
over 10. 
So Andy is down to 8 million, 

593
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,600
so. 
Maybe you do become the biggest 

594
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160
meme coin on blast. 
No more. 

595
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,400
Yeah, well, I don't know. 
It feels so. 

596
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,640
To be clear, this would now mean
4 million ETH is just locked up 

597
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,800
forever. 
No one can ever touch it. 

598
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,400
I think so. 
I'm not super well versed in how

599
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,800
the baseline markets work. 
I'm still trying to understand 

600
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,320
this. 
So how does Machi make money out

601
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,400
of this? 
I don't I don't know if he is. 

602
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,240
I think he's probably just doing
this for the fun. 

603
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:41,160
But like I also, I don't know if
like descending 4 million E that

604
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,760
no one can ever touch again as 
well. 

605
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,400
Is that is that good? 
Looks like East is going to have

606
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,440
some more value over the the 
long term than whatever this is 

607
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,680
so. 
Yeah, you know what I mean. 

608
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,600
That's why my first thought when
I saw this was like fuck we're 

609
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,760
just going to be. 
It's like they did this for NFTS

610
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,600
for a bit right? 
What was the NFT thing that OV 

611
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,760
did? 
Blasts, whatever it was. 

612
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,240
Oh yeah? 
Oh, did you remember the name of

613
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:09,040
the the Minting blaster? 
Blasted. 

614
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,720
Yeah, this was like blast a bit,
but like, they burned the keys, 

615
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,600
so we just. 
Ethan's just stuck there forever

616
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,280
now, like no one's ever going to
get it off. 

617
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,280
Unless you just turn all the 
NFTS in right, then effectively 

618
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,360
everyone right? 
That was fine, though blasted. 

619
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,240
That's that's the way it worked.
So if you turn in the NFTS, it's

620
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,760
fine because it's all it was all
like a it was a refundable. 

621
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960
But this just feels like no 
one's someone's get there. 

622
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:40,160
That money's gone forever. 
That is, that is an interesting 

623
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,800
twist for this. 
I don't want to come out like 

624
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,880
I'm pitching this and I have no 
way tied to this. 

625
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,160
So I caught some comments on 
that in the replies. 

626
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:52,040
Not not a shock. 
It felt like it's a highly 

627
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:57,400
liquid coin in blast ecosystem 
and the downside was perhaps 

628
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,920
somewhat capped, which is what 
made this one potentially stand 

629
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,320
out. 
So we we will see not an 

630
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:10,080
advertisement in any way but. 
Actually it's a good question. 

631
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,080
Like how much? 
How much? 

632
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,960
Like solar is now just like 
locked up forever in pumped up 

633
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,520
fun coins, right? 
Because they burn their LP's 

634
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,320
too, but they're they're 
generally much smaller. 

635
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Like remember when the RTR coin 
went the the Burn LP was like 

636
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,360
crazy and I was like, oh, OK, 
well they must be serious 

637
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,280
because, you know, someone put 
in serious money into that into 

638
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,480
that LP that's also lost 
forever. 

639
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,120
But yeah, I didn't know. 
Maybe there is just like a 

640
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,200
fucking ton of Solana and eat 
now which essentially never 

641
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,120
getting out so. 
Bullish I suppose. 

642
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,240
Less, less overhang. 
Logie, are you buying the Machi 

643
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:55,160
Pruso? 
Man, I'm almost embarrassed to 

644
00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:01,240
say that I'm interested. 
Yeah, the irony here in naming 

645
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:05,880
it Machi unruggable meme coin. 
I mean, I don't know. 

646
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,840
It is interesting like that. 
You know, that meme from I think

647
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,200
you should leave that I said it 
was interesting or I thought it 

648
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,640
was interesting. 
That's that's where I'm at here.

649
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,000
You know, I was reading more 
about baseline. 

650
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,040
If you remember their yes token,
I think it's like probably the 

651
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,880
highest market cap token on 
blast. 

652
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:22,640
It's up there. 
Yeah. 

653
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,200
It's the one that came out. 
I was just reading. 

654
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,360
I mean 100. 
And 75. 

655
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,760
Yeah, So it says, I'll read this
very quickly. 

656
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Baseline eliminates the need for
traditional market makers. 

657
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,720
Since the token controls its own
market making operations, it can

658
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,800
maintain a unique liquidity 
structure that helps facilitate 

659
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560
positive price development. 
I, you know, I'm not the 

660
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,600
tokenomic expert nor technical 
one, so can't comment too deeply

661
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,800
here, but it seems like that's 
what's being deployed here with 

662
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,800
the Machi stuff as well. 
Facilitate positive price 

663
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,600
development. 
I like reading that. 

664
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,840
So we'll see. 
I'm, I'm interested. 

665
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,840
This would not be something I'm 
like, you know, putting my full 

666
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,160
weight behind for the unruggable
nature of the of the coin. 

667
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,680
Yeah, well, very fair. 
I'm sure we'll report back on it

668
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,400
once this is live. 
Well, that's a pretty good 

669
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,760
roundup of the the big stories 
from the day. 

670
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,400
I'm sure we'll follow up more 
deeply tomorrow on the open sea 

671
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,800
Wells notice as more info there 
circulates. 

672
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,600
I want to get into our arbitral 
update. 

673
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,320
We've typically been doing this 
on Mondays. 

674
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,080
We did them on, we're doing it 
on Wednesday here this week for 

675
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,640
for starters, folks, money has 
just been moving one way for 

676
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,480
regarding Arbitrum and that's 
it. 

677
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:45,080
No outflows for the entire year.
I didn't really realize this 

678
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,280
until I saw this tweet from OX 
Matt. 

679
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,120
And they're averaging 
$415,000,000 per month. 

680
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,880
So certainly bullish for 
Arbitron. 

681
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:58,480
And we've been talking about 
some of the reasons why. 

682
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,680
I've been talking about their 
orbit chain tech and how that's 

683
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,880
being used. 
And now we've got a pretty 

684
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,880
interesting new use case here 
from. 

685
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:14,680
Corn, so corn is the first ETH 
L2 using Bitcoin as its gas 

686
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,840
token. 
So it calls itself the Super 

687
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,120
yield network. 
They have just announced a large

688
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:27,560
seed raise $6.7 million here 
from Polychain, Cap Finance and 

689
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,520
more. 
So the way it works Bitcoin in 

690
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:36,320
is the hybrid gas token here. 
It's backed 1 to one by Bitcoin.

691
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,520
The key difference is it's not 
to a single custodian. 

692
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,520
They're the tokenomics seem to 
be inspired by Curve tokenomics.

693
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,400
So for anyone who recognizes 
that back from the D5 days and 

694
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,840
of course still around the the 
yield comes in two ways. 

695
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,600
Let me see if I can Scroll down 
here. 2 core tokens Bitcoin in 

696
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,640
is the hybrid gas token that is 
generated via network fees and 

697
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,160
then corn is generated via 
native network emissions and 

698
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,480
then corn stickers get to decide
where that yield goes and it 

699
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,840
seems like it is kicking off 
here soon. 

700
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,720
So this is a very interesting 
when you go into this thread 

701
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,360
here from the corn team either 
handle use under score corn to 

702
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,400
learn more. 
They've got a nice diagram here 

703
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,240
of that the corn crop circle, so
you can learn more about how 

704
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:33,840
that yield actually works. 
OK yeah. 

705
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,960
Curious if you had a chance to 
dive into this one at all. 

706
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,920
Did were you ever around? 
Did you mess around in the curve

707
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,840
defy ecosystem and or does this 
jump out to you at? 

708
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,400
All maybe a little bit, but 
nothing, nothing extensive. 

709
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,400
This this is really interesting.
I mean, a notable raise, of 

710
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,280
course, right? 
By like notable investors. 

711
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,120
That's always a good sign. 
Doesn't mean everything, but a 

712
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,320
great sign and you know, just 
giving people more ways to 

713
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,000
utilize Bitcoin, which I think 
we've been yearning for, right 

714
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,120
with Ordinals rooms. 
I mean, advancements in in every

715
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,800
way imaginable in the last year 
or so. 

716
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,160
And I think, you know, just 
further unlocking what you can 

717
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,040
do with your Bitcoin. 
You know, like the Bitcoin that 

718
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,160
I have doesn't really do 
anything. 

719
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,760
This provides an opportunity to 
gain yield from that Bitcoin 

720
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,280
that's not really doing 
anything. 

721
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,120
So super interesting. 
Great to see like a a team that,

722
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,640
you know, has raised notable 
money from notable investors, 

723
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,160
signaling some sort of 
confidence. 

724
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,320
I'm, you know, definitely keen 
to learn more. 

725
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,400
I think also Tyler is there. 
There's like an AirDrop tied to 

726
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,040
this. 
Was I reading that at the bottom

727
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,240
of this thread? 
Oh, interesting. 

728
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:43,000
I'm making that up. 
If if so, I may have missed 

729
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,040
that. 
Maybe I'm making it up. 

730
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,320
I hope I'm not. 
You you might be, so we'll have 

731
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,560
to I'm. 
Sorry. 

732
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,120
Oh wait now just details for our
pre main net AirDrop set your 

733
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,240
reminder for the live kickoff 
event where they laid out the 

734
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,800
details. 
So I I did miss the the kickoff 

735
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,120
event that took place last week,
so we'll have to dig in and find

736
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,320
out more about how that AirDrop 
works. 

737
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,920
But you're right, it comes an 
interesting time. 

738
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,680
I think more casual crypto 
Twitter users, folks who are on 

739
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,440
the timeline have been dabbling 
in ordinals and ruins. 

740
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,880
So some more folks have kind of 
spare Bitcoin to play with an 

741
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,600
interesting potential use case 
here. 

742
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,600
And of course that the Arbitrum 
tie in. 

743
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,040
It's their orbit chain tech 
being used to power this. 

744
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,840
We got another interesting story
and Logan, I think you're you 

745
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,080
perhaps are a closer to this one
than I am. 

746
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,880
But Eva Gotche, I think a lot of
folks know that that name, that 

747
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,960
game that introduced guys to new
L3 built using the Arbitrum 

748
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,760
Orbit act using base for 
settlement alchemy for their 

749
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,320
roll up partner. 
What do folks need to know about

750
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:49,160
this? 
Yeah. 

751
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,600
So this is cool. 
This is, as you mentioned, using

752
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:56,240
that orbit technology, looking 
to create sort of a members only

753
00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:00,000
exclusive type chain for gaming.
We know gaming is a you know, 

754
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,800
massive potential on border. 
I think many people still stand 

755
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,040
convicted in that finding the 
right way to deploy it has you 

756
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,760
know, I don't think we found the
the right successful answer 

757
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,160
formula just yet, and they're 
looking to go about things just 

758
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,000
a little bit differently. 
So kind of members only more 

759
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,960
exclusive looking to almost, I 
shouldn't say control who's 

760
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,120
using the change, but just 
isolate and and thrift out all 

761
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,320
those bots in the civil farmers 
that you know, things like 

762
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,280
perhaps no shade a ton, right, 
But like some of those 

763
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,840
blockchains have unfortunately 
notoriously garnered and removed

764
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,800
potential rewards for real 
users. 

765
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,600
And so this is a really 
interesting thing it mentions in

766
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,720
here, membership, right, is 
limited by design approach, 

767
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:46,280
mitigating unbounded Sybil 
invites are limited, benefiting 

768
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,320
real users. 
So I'm not exactly sure what the

769
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,760
Do's nature is here. 
You know, there is a ghost 

770
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,520
token. 
This is going to be open. 

771
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,440
Of course, the chain is going to
be open to other games, I'd 

772
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,120
imagine. 
But we'll see what the Do's are.

773
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,480
I'm just really interested in, 
we're seeing a lot of these sort

774
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,280
of like more creator, more apps 
specific, more niche chains. 

775
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,320
Of course, that's what this 
stuff enables. 

776
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:12,800
Interesting you know to deploy 
in this way and try to limit to 

777
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,560
real users which really 
difficult problem to solve. 

778
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,280
It feels like the opposite 
approach, right of of what we 

779
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,560
typically see for games where 
you just want to cast wide Nets,

780
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,600
get as many players as possible,
and then perhaps, you know, 

781
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,360
start to filter down more power 
users from there. 

782
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,040
They're kind of going the 
opposite way and starting with 

783
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,760
the core group. 
I'm seeing one of a gache equals

784
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,000
one invite, so you're going to 
need one of these to 

785
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,600
participate. 
Yeah, and you can go actually, 

786
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,360
I'm sorry, Tyler, you can go 
right now and I think drop an 

787
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,800
e-mail and Mint commemorative 
NFT. 

788
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,800
The link I believe is present at
the bottom of that thread that's

789
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,720
sort of like gets you on the 
list to stay in tune with things

790
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:58,640
when the Geist mainnet actually 
launches as well. 

791
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,840
So if you're curious or want to 
know more, you can you can head 

792
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,720
there. 
But I think it's really cool. 

793
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:05,760
I mean, we've talked about the 
Country Club model. 

794
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,800
I mean, those words have been 
uttered a lot in this space. 

795
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,600
You know, it's worked in certain
ways with NFTS in particular. 

796
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,880
It hasn't necessarily. 
Worked for block. 

797
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,840
Chains right like that that 
hasn't been necessarily 

798
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,560
attempted yet. 
So this is a really ambitious, 

799
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,320
but also a really interesting 
and hopefully successful, 

800
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,240
whether it be proof of concept 
or you know, full rollout will 

801
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:29,360
be really, really cool. 
Interesting model. 

802
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,800
It's got base support, it's got 
Alchemy support, it's got 

803
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,920
Arbitrum support players plugged
in for sure. 

804
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,720
It's going to be an interesting 
one to follow. 

805
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,040
We saw a couple other headlines.
We won't spend as much time on 

806
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:46,440
these, but Senko, they've 
introduced a new game here. 

807
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:51,720
Welcome to Strong Buns Beach 
using that Arbitrum orbit chain 

808
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:57,000
tech and then apes and vapes. 
I I guess I I I miss exactly 

809
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,080
what this collab was for season 
one, but this is season 2 ape 

810
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:06,240
coin and babes and bored apes 
are collabing and the arbitrame 

811
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:10,760
chain powered arbitrame tech 
powered in this one as well. 

812
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:14,960
So Barbara Trump, they just, 
they keep cooking over there. 

813
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,600
Every week we've got more and 
more to talk about from them. 

814
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,880
So I'm sure we'll have even more
to talk about in next week's 

815
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,240
update. 
Go check out any of these 

816
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:26,880
projects if you are interested. 
But folks think that's it. 

817
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,040
That's going to be our show for 
today. 

818
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,920
Thanks for tuning in to another 
episode of FOMO Hour. 

819
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,480
We will be back tomorrow to 
recap the NVIDIA earnings. 

820
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,680
Hopefully cryptos higher by 
then, who knows, Expect some 

821
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,400
volatility after hours today 
when those earnings release, 

822
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:47,160
we'll hopefully dig in more to 
this open sea wells notice story

823
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,200
and everything that breaks here 
today. 

824
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,680
Folks, have a great Wednesday. 
Go make it a beautiful day. 

825
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:52,280
Goodbye.
