Whoa, yo-yo, yo. Holy shit.
What up? What up?
Good morning. Good morning. 3 MGM Friday.
God Lee. What day is it?
What date is it? What time is it?
September 13th. Friday the 13th.
Oh, spooky 202444. Look at that.
Another beautiful day to have a beautiful day.
I love my coast in the house. Tyler Mando, how you guys doing
today? Fantastic man, how are you?
We are. I mean, it's another day in
paradise, you know what I mean? 100.
Percent. Just another day in paradise.
How you doing Tyler? I'm good.
I might be a little more excited than than Mando.
I mean, the energy in the rug radio room is electric.
It is electric. After the the news broke, he was
we saw in the Myriad opening video.
Make the news. We're talking about someone in
the room here making some news. We're definitely we're
definitely, we're definitely making the news, that's for
sure. I've been I dude, this is crazy
for me because I have been holding my tongue for so fucking
long. I mean, you guys have no idea.
It's like it's been forever. And so I think start working on
this. I can get you the exact date we
were in Japan 'cause I remember having to plan all these times
and and calls like with 13 hour time difference for the people
involved. So it was August 29th.
So what's that two weeks ago? Wow, something like that.
So we've been we've been working on this for two months.
I mean, it feels like two months.
Let me tell you that for for two weeks now.
And here we go here we go. We're, we're headed tomorrow,
Lago, tomorrow afternoon, you know what I mean?
We're gonna be a little weekend in Palm Beach instead of
Singapore. So.
So in case that wasn't clear, I'm not going to Singapore token
2049 something. Came.
Up though our team will be and we are running a few events
which I'll talk about later during the show but you know
it's yeah, I I I don't know if it hit yet like it hit yesterday
at some point and I was like really feeling like I have a
video of me like I was like my hand was like going like this
like my I was just like I didn't know what was going on because I
didn't know exactly what time Donald Trump was going to post
this video. I actually wasn't expected to go
live right away. So, so we cooked the thing up
and it went live. And so in the, and yeah, this
all happened. I'm I'm sure we're going to be
able to get into the to the to the details of that in Tylers
top 100 today and and after the fact and also like I'll be live
on the show on Monday morning. Then I'm headed there.
So that'll be fun electric show and then I'll be live on the
show also Tuesday morning, the morning after.
Oh shit. So I'm going a little side
quest, lads. I'm I'm and I'm taking everybody
with me on this, on this experience of a lifetime, which
is going to be my little trip to Mar a Lago.
But let me tell you guys, it's a whole, it's a whole, whole whole
production. Like this is, this is big.
I've been, I've had to focus only on that all week long.
Like it's, it's pretty crazy. There's like a, you know, 7-8
person production crew involved myself, writers like it's, it's
a lot. It's a, it's very, very heavy on
the, on the production and, and it's not easy to make happen.
Everything's meticulous and all eyes are on you, including
including good ones and bad ones.
So I'm going to need like a whole like spiritual bath after
after this week. It's going to be interesting.
Hopefully I don't fumble or choke.
Anyway, so that was a show today, today daily marketing
report as usual. I mean, looks pretty sideways to
me, but let's talk about what's happening in the space.
Tyler's top 100. Let's see what Tyler's got for
us. I, I have a feeling that I have
a feeling that, you know, we made the news.
We made Tyler's news overnight. And then last but not least,
we'll have robot spins today. So the last two of six last two
of six spins that that we're doing this week alone.
So excited to see we fixed the spinner.
So we'll have a code as well ready.
And then as usual, this show is a word by galaxies, a no code
Web 3 platform that empowers creators and communities to
become owners. Check out galaxies XYZ on X.
But anyways, anyways, anyways, Mando mando mando mando.
Where's my mando button? Close out the week for us, baby.
G. MGMGM Yeah, great to be part of
this. The Grug Radio fam getting the
Trump and the Trump interview. Crazy.
Everyone in web, everyone in Web 3 was trying.
Yeah, they were. I think a lot of people are kind
of not so happy about that one. Yeah, there's a lot of, you
know, I, I, I see in a lot of like AI, don't call them
competitors because I don't believe in competition.
But they do have a lot of creators and other media
companies seem to make fun of the fact that rug radio got the
scoop. But I'm sure they'd love to have
the interview, you know? Has anyone else even interviewed
him in crypto? I I think this is the first
crypto centric interview for Donald Trump ever, right Tyler?
I was realizing that this morning.
No one. At Bitcoin Magazine.
This will be the premier premier crypto interview because the
Bitcoin speech wasn't really an interview, right?
Right. Shout out to Bitcoin Magazine.
They were like the first people to share the video as soon as it
came out. They're quick with it.
I fuck with those guys. But yeah, it's, it's gonna be,
it's gonna be huge. That's my news of the day, man.
Like that's the biggest news today.
Donald Trump's doing literally an interview with Rogue Radio,
which I think is wild. And obviously the whole family
is of this world Liberty Financial.
So get to find out what that's all about on Monday.
Yeah, that was that was kind of the biggest news.
I think there was some a lot of questions about, you know, was
this project going to launch before the election or after?
And now, now it looks like it's going to be Monday.
So I'll be interested to hear what happens with the whole
family there. Other than that, let's just go
quickly to majors. We're basically where we were
yesterday. So Bitcoin flirted with going
lower, flirted with going higher and then it's stuck around.
It's 58, Kay, You saw Zoran Cole, the most vocal bear on the
timeline is. It a real screenshot or a fake
screen? Let's let's let me post a go
ahead and then I'll share my screen.
I mean I I. In my current region I don't
have access to bibet anymore but he is definitely on the bibet
leaderboard. So I don't think like this is a
full fake. But who knows maybe it's an old
screenshot or maybe he dropped a bit but he got a lot of got a
lot of pushback for. I think he gets your community
noted, which I thought was hilarious for his his
screenshot, but he closed his shorts.
It's kind of what I said yesterday.
I think I think there's a decent chance we're going to go up to
like that chart. If you bring up a Bitcoin chart
right now, it looks like it's just put in a higher low.
Here you go bro. Here you go, lad.
At least maybe not on the the daily is basically an equal low,
but on a four hour chart it's definitely a higher low.
So so. Was this not a higher low here?
I meant to ask you yesterday. So this is what I'm saying.
It's like we're talking about the, the broader big trend,
right, rather than and we're going to wait to see.
But the longer this goes on, the more it looks like a high, like
it's put in a high low there. So that's that's why it could be
a good sign. So yeah, I'm hoping, I'm hoping
that's the case and we will and we will see.
But Bitcoin, yeah, like I said, I think Victor's got a 60K.
Solara slightly underperformed today.
It's kind of what we said yesterday.
It's a lot more news. I told you about this what 2-3
weeks ago said, look, this is something that I'm aware of
going into QQ 1. You see Vitalik getting smashed
for selling like 100K ETH. Right now there is billions of
dollars of FTX which they own or they have sold.
I don't know how much they actually still own because I
don't know the full extent, but they've sold a decent amount of
it locked to various similar hedge funds that that unlocked
schedule. A large bit of it is in Q1.
It's in March and February. Yeah, March and February.
So, so you're going to see headlines around this like
people aren't getting unstaked, getting ready to sell, right.
So just just get ready for that. And there was a, there was a
small amount, I think 27 million got unstaked by the FDX wallet
today and people it was all over my timeline again.
So I don't think it's a crazy amount like it's about two to 3%
of overall Solana circulating supply at the moment.
And and Solana already inflates at like 6 to 7%.
So it's only versus inflation is actually even done that big, but
those sort of headlines are the sort of things that freak people
out. So it's it's something to note.
And interestingly, this isn't just like a oh, nothing's doing
well, like the all L1's continuing to push on here.
So it's been a really good week for Sui.
It's been a really good week for NIA.
It's been a really good week for ton tons back to five and a
half. I'm trying to think of other big
ones, but it's been, it's been a Phantom's.
The other one Phantom had had its test net for its Sonic
upgrade and that went well. So all L ones are really
outperforming ETH and Solana here.
Yeah, if you look on a three-week that's that's a
daily. So Polygon obviously migrated.
Let's do let's do what, 30 days? Let's let's check 30.
Days. Well do 2 weeks maybe.
Two weeks. OK, let's do.
Let's do last two weeks. There you go.
Last two weeks top gainers. So sui, yeah.
At Quant Uni, BSV Ave., Phantom Star.
Net some of these, some of these were obviously the the AI coins
which which had been destroyed and then bounced around, bounced
higher after NVIDIA results. But look phantom's there Sui's
probably the one that has the most eyes on it right now.
Sui is definitely the one that has the most eyes on it.
Interesting. And look, I have no the issue
about Sui and it's probably right.
Like they they clearly did a lot of different influencer deals in
the space. So it's a lot of questions about
like, oh, you know, is this another VC?
This this was classically done at the same time as Aptos.
It was AVC coin from two years ago.
I think now roughly, maybe, maybe slightly less, but and it
has has unlocks like it has. It also has huge unlocks, very
similar to Solana, but the market cap is 2 billion, you
know, so, so people can run it up a little bit.
So aware I'm like I'm not super but as I said before, like one
thing the cycle has taught me is that I'm not AL1 maxi by any
means. Like when we.
Find the right L1 I saw. So I, I, I actually want to ask
for your take on this tweet. It was moon Overlord yesterday
saying that the L1 trade is cooked because first went from
Bitcoin and then Ethereum was a new narrative went to Ethereum.
Then you went to Solana and Solana like arguably does
everything you want from a fast L1 in terms of like speed TPS,
like an adoption and mincoins, whatever, everything like what
do you, what do you guys think about this?
I'll go to your first band of that.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts, he says.
I'll share it here because it's similar.
It's on topic what you're talking about, he says.
Honestly think the L1 trade is dead.
You had three chances at it. Bitcoin is Seoul the newest
iteration? Seoul has point O1 cents, so 1
penny fees and nearly instant settlement time.
What do you think about that? I think that's a very short
sighted look at look, look at things.
Although I do think that Solano is is easily ahead of things
like bring up, bring up multi party.
You can see all the different dominances, all the different
changes. Let me just send.
Oh no, no, I know that that's we did the right.
Shot right, then you're like. ADA, you're trying to, you're
trying to pick up a fight with with Cardano, motherfucker.
I'll leave a link. I'll leave a link have.
You seen his new arc trying to fight with this?
Is this? One, I have seen it, yeah, I've
got made no notification, so I see all of it.
So, right, so you can see there, right, like Solana dominance has
gone down, but very recently and you start to see the others go
like the L1 trade always feels really good.
And then and then you realize it's also very competitive like
ETH. If you're an ETH holder, you'd
be like East the best. And right now we're all saying,
well, Solana is where we all are.
But those narratives change with price and they change with and
and flows can move very, very quickly.
Look how quickly Solana was able to like massively increase.
It's it's TBL and it's and it's D5 volumes in a very short space
of time. So although I don't think, I'm
not saying I'm AI like Sui, but like B&B, for example, you know,
B&B CZ is coming out of jail in a couple of weeks.
Like there's a narrative there could cat the, the, the, the the
biggest coin, the meme coin from B&B on this side.
Could that go to a billion? Yeah, like I think don't rest on
the idea that Nel 1 is just the easy trade of the cycle.
Bitcoin is the only easy trade of any cycle.
If you get caught up with being because what sometimes happens
then is the coin starts underperforming and then you
become not a community member, but you start to become quite
dogmatic. And I, I had that same thought
about EAF at the start of this cycle.
And as a trader, you just got to recognise that.
Are you in it because like of the emotional attachment to it
or because you really, really believe in it?
And it's not like I don't believe in Solana, but you know,
mean point trading has died off and they've got upcoming
unlocks. Like there's no, that's
completely objectively looking at what can cause flood for
that. That doesn't really.
Whereas B&B, you could argue, OK, well, mean points rating
started to pick up. It's easy.
He's getting out of jail. They're kind of in the clear of
all the recent FUD, and they don't have massive unlocks.
They actually have a burnt. So yeah, like, I guess what I'm
trying to say is don't just don't be a maxi for anything.
Look very objectively at what's happening at L1's at all times.
Yeah. Yeah, of course, as I'm just
going to say here as you FUD my bags.
It's OK, you know, and Mando said more eloquently than me,
but I think I have a simpler view on it as I don't think the
L1 trade is going away. I think we've got exciting new L
ones coming, perhaps with Monad Beriche and others.
We've got, you know, existing L ones kind of building into their
their next or laying the groundwork for their run up Sui
and say and like for for people who are participating in the
space, like they, they want to invest in and bet on these L
ones. Like what else is there?
Like if you take L ones away, what is there?
You've got L twos and and meme coins and some and a handful of
daps, right. I feel like L ones are still one
of the strongest categories for folks to to. 100 percent, 100%
Speaking of trading and then I'll go to Tyler's top 100
because of the few things I want to talk to you about.
Speaking of L ones, you know we have Vitalik, right?
Had a lot of thoughts on the timeline yesterday.
I'm sure you have. So do we think this is real or
fake? So this he got the community
noted about how the the commas are different fonts and
everything's different. What's the deal here?
What? See this one?
You got community noted for this right about the different fonts.
There's been a lot of comments about Zoran like that he's
faking his PNL and that sort of stuff, but I'm pretty sure he is
on the in the top accounts on bibit so.
Can so surely one of our listeners on bibit bro?
Is someone on buy bit able to just tell us?
I think it's called deleveraged or something like that on buy
bit, but it's. Someone check the buy bit
account and and let us know you know.
I mean like buy bit leaderboard. Surely somebody just posted it.
Surely someone has it right? Let's check it out.
Buy bit leaderboard. That's September 7th.
He's not in the top four, that's for certain.
First upgrade people by they're looking for his Internet.
Oh wait, it may be my apparently he's done this before.
Look at that how he deleted like this here.
Oh shit, found it. Oh wait.
Oh, he. He's up.
He's up $12 million this year. That's pretty good.
So why does he need to Photoshop something?
I I don't know. Someone said he used to be on
the labor board, but not in the last few months, so that last
month says. Yeah.
So I think he he had an initial account called something like
leverage and then he opened a different account called
deleverage and it was unclear if he got liquidated on the first
account. Got it, Got it.
So he now has an account which is 6 weeks old, which is called
deleveraged, which is up 12 million.
Damn. It's unclear what happened to
the last account because that account only really turned up
when Bitcoin was at like 65 and everyone said that he like
chopped himself up and got liquidated.
Interesting. Anyway, he he swings it around.
Swings. It around he did definitely does
swing it around. So he was.
Up to $1,000,000 from a short on Bitcoin at 60 K and I was like,
oh God, like how levered are you?
That's like a 4% move. There's a 4% move and you're up
$2,000,000. Seems like the sort of thing
that you can get recked on pretty quickly.
Yeah, Yeah. I guess we'll see.
I just want this market to go up anyways, Tyler.
Before we jump into my this one last macro thing, got to got to
put my interest rate cut bags 50 bits back over 30%.
Really. I think some 50.
Bits is really good for us, right?
Massive trades went through yesterday in in macro on in the
rate curve on predictions that we see a 50 bit rate cut.
So there was nothing really PPI was yesterday, which is the
producer price inflation which came in matched expectations.
So there's no real big difference.
But as soon as that happened, as soon as the rate cuts chances
.50 bips, gold hit an all time high and stocks had a rally.
So there there is an expectation.
It could be expectation, it could be A50 BIPA.
All right. Well, well, let's see.
Let's see, let's see where that takes us.
When, when is that FOMC right. So end of September.
Next week. Oh, it's oh shit.
I think it's next. Week FOMC.
No, it's September 20 something right?
Oh, that is it. No, September 18th.
Oh, it's, it is next week. Yeah, it's in four days.
Well, it's just on the second day, right?
September 18th, I think it is. Yeah, no, it's, it's 1718,
right. So, but it's on the second day,
right? On the second day, so it's in,
it's in five days. Wow, guys, next week is going to
be a big, big week. Holy shit, big week for crypto.
Oh my God, no pressure. All right, Tyler, what do you
got for daily NFT and crypto analysis?
Tyler on FOMO, our calls to kids.
And our top story, Donald Trump announces he will launch World
Liberty Financial on an X Faces with Rug Radio on Monday Night
Live from Mar a Lago. Folks, it doesn't get much
bigger than that. Can't wait to get into that with
Froak here in a minute. And other news, Big Mike Michael
Saylor bought another $1.1 billion of Bitcoin via
MicroStrategy now holds over 244,800 Bitcoin in his bag
there. Coinbase, they now wrapped
Bitcoin products CBBTC. We talked about that yesterday.
It's already accumulated $100 million in market cap over a in
base aerodrome that Aerotoken also benefited up 14% on the day
and memes Tron Memely or Sundog, we pulled it up yesterday on the
show. It worked to $1 billion after a
$2,000,000 Unchained buy, now holding at 340 million.
So a big Wick to fill there. We got some breaking news right
before the show. Wormhole in World Coin are
bringing the World ID to Solana, allowing for real human
verification for app builders over on slots.
That's a big news and protocols. Magic Eden is going to expand to
monad, marking its 5th blockade treasure.
Dow announced the launch of an L2 on ZK sync.
Predict that fun. They launched a new fancy top
market where users can bet on Who Will Win fancy top main
tournaments. And then hamster combat.
Their hamster token went live on Binance launch pool and super
earned a lot of NFT headlines on the day as well.
Zagabond This is the top story NFTS Zagabond and Azuki
introducedan-ime.com a new platform aimed at transforming
the anime industry through web three tech and X Copy Edition
man X Copy remains scorching hot.
In addition of 10 called Mortal sold for 200 and 28th over half
$1,000,000. Clair to Source are teaming up
with Gameloft to create a mobile game featuring their signature
characters. That's a huge, a huge
partnership there for Klainos. Then a bit of sad news.
Prohibition art then asked. They will be winding down
operations. They'll be live through the rest
of September, but reminding everyone that their art still
will live on. All right, Jesus Christ, I don't
know how you do this shit, Tyler.
That's a lot a. Busy week.
Next week's going to be even bigger.
Like we got, we got to talk about.
Hold on, can we just play this video?
How this video? I've watched this video like 100
million times in you know, I I do wish they posted the the high
quality one because it's actually in 1080P.
Maybe I'll post this, everybody gets to see it, but we got to
watch this together, right? Join me live on Twitter Spaces
at 8:00 PM the September 16th for the launch of World Liberty
Financial. We're embracing the future with
crypto and leaving the slow and outdated big banks behind.
Well, well, well, that was crazy.
I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie when that
video drop, like I absolutely lost my shit.
I've got a lot of questions for you and I know that a lot of
things are being kind of kept under wraps ahead of the
interview here. But first, like how are you
feeling? How are you feeling about?
This I'm I am. I'm feeling great.
I'm, I'm feeling absolutely great, honestly, about this.
Maybe it has it hit yet, or maybe it did, or maybe I'm just
like numb. I don't know.
It's, it's pretty crazy. I mean, there was Jimmy Kimmel
last night when live on on on on his Kimmel Live show, obviously
like he has some strong thoughts on Donald Trump, but then played
the video too. And I was like, fuck, yeah, we
got it. We got it.
We got the Jimmy Kimmel Live. Like, you know, like rug video
logo up there. So I I'm feeling, I'm feeling
good. I've been mentally getting ready
for this for a bit now since I got back.
It's just like just staying focused, working on this,
working on my questions, working on the flow, working on
everything. So it's gonna be a pretty big
event broadcasted live on video and audio across acts like we do
the morning show with a lot of guests.
Like, that's why it's the hardest part has been working on
the production side, not gonna lie, like that's the most
stressful part so that nothing breaks because it's it's, it's
gonna be, it's gonna be a lot. Well, we saw it with the Elon
Trump space, right? It, it, it lost an hour late,
like people couldn't get in. So I imagine that the production
is big. This was timely because
yesterday I believe that the Trump team also said no more
debates, so. Same day I saw that after the
fact. Less opportunities to to catch
his thoughts live. And we, we said this in the
intro, but this is going to be his first true crypto themed
yeah interview. So this is, I mean this is huge
for the the crypto space as well.
Yeah, I mean, look, I think, I mean, I'm, I'm definitely
excited for people to to to to tune in.
Listen, I'm doing my job, you know what I mean?
Like we're, we're we're a media company at rug radio and, and,
and I'm and I'm a I'm a show host.
I've been doing this for a long time now with you guys actually,
right. Mando and I have started this
show. I think we're episode at least
800 now. Four more specifically is
hitting 200 on Monday, which is ironic and I love it.
But but 200 on four more hours. So you can only imagine how many
shows is actually hosted together from GM and FTS.
And even before that, I've been doing this hosting thing for a
minute. I think I must have hosted at
least 2000 shows across clubhouse and rock radio.
So what I thought was funny is it's free speech until you
interview someone people don't like, right?
So it's like we want our free speech crypto native media and
then the second that a crypto native media manages to snack,
probably the biggest interview of the year, you know, it's it's
not so free speech. So, you know, definitely get to
see the the good, the bad and the ugly right now.
But I'm on face, I'm doing my job.
I'm a Rep rug radio on my back, you know, for forever.
That was my promise the day we launched this and I'm gonna do
my thing. You know, that's it.
People want to support, can support, and if they don't want
to support, they don't have to TuneIn.
If you don't have haters, you're not doing big enough things.
Exactly, Exactly. Dude, even Jimmy Kimmel hated
all this live. Like we got millions of views on
us. So I'm I'm all in, I'm all in.
The craziest part is, you know, the fact that we're actually
going to be doing it is in Mar a Lago.
So that's in his residence, right?
So for me, like, I guess I'll feel the stress when I hit like,
I head there, you know what I mean?
Like, yeah, walking into his home.
Like it's actually honestly, no matter how people feel, but
Donald Trump's kind of an honor. Like I his home at his place,
like setting up everything there and being able to be there.
And apparently he's got crazy aura.
So I just can't wait. You ever been in the room with
someone like really big, like really important like.
Not at this level, not not not personally, I have to admit.
I remember once I shared an elevator with LeBron James.
I almost fainted and I couldn't say hi to him.
Like I've choked. So I have a feeling it's going
to be the same type of feeling where like you walk in, you're
like, hello, Mr. President. And then you're like, holy shit.
Also, what should I wear? I was going to ask you like
that's the one of the most important questions is what?
What do you guys wear? I mean, you know, I'm being told
be you. Do you?
Like, obviously it's going to be I'm going to be me, but you
know. Maybe blue suit, red tie.
Maybe blue suit, red tie as well.
You think blue suit red? I was thinking orange tie
Bitcoin, you know, I got AI, got a nice Ms. orange tie.
You know that's not my little brothers.
Who a tie of the the colors of World Liberty Financial if you
got 1. A gold tie.
I do not have a gold tie. You.
Don't have a gold tie or you need 1 Amanda, you got 2 gold
ties. What would you wear?
Mando. Theo Von, Theo Von wore like a
suit, didn't he the other day? And he never wears a suit, like,
did he? Or at least he wore a suit
jacket. Interesting.
Theo Von No. OK, no, he's wearing like a
jeans. Yeah, just a suit jacket.
He's dressed normal. Definitely got to wear a blazer,
right? Yeah, at.
Least. I feel like, yeah, I think at
least gotta wear a blazer. So I think if he's wearing 1,
you gotta wear one. You need a?
Yeah, we definitely need some records.
He'll probably be wearing a full suit and tie, right?
I guess typically when he. Wears, I believe that's what,
that's what Donald Trump wears. You know what I was thinking?
Nice grey suit because Grey's neutral, you know, bright orange
tie in honor of Bitcoin. Because it is it is about crypto
after all, right. So I, I was thinking something
like that or maybe no tie so we don't overdo it either.
I'm going to need my fashion advisors here to get on that.
Yeah. Here's what folks think in the
comments here. We we need the fashion advice.
I wish I had the Air Trump shoes don't.
That would have slapped the Nikes, you know.
I like the ones you get with the the NFT purchase.
There's some good ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're actually sick. They're actually sick.
If someone's got them in Montreal, hit me up.
Size 9. That would be crazy.
A suit with the air Trump's on, you know what I mean?
Like, oh, my God, that would be cool.
That would be dressed like a red guy.
I love that tuxedo shirt. Nah, Tuxedo's pushing it, man.
Tuxedo's pushing. Yeah.
Needle. Rugrito.
Lapel pen. Fuck.
I don't have rugrito, dude. The thing is all this time I
never did anything about greater related in terms of merch and
stuff like that. We only have like hoodies that
we that we got that we got printed ones anyway.
So there's that. So I'm sure we'll talk about it
more on Monday morning and on Tuesday morning as well.
But Tyler, what else you got for us today?
Yeah, and that was the big one for sure.
I think perhaps a sign of the times situation.
So pump fun, they held the spaces yesterday with their
community and then based Carmen, I sent you the the tweet before
the show. I think he he made somewhat of a
joke. He's like, I'm judging the state
of the trenches by how many people are are participating
live in this pump fun spaces. And it was around like 1100 or
1200. I think there was about 1200 to
1500 live kind of during the the the show and he's basically
making the point that's how many people are left in the trenches.
I kinda feel like that's right. That's about where my mental
target is for for people who are active in the trenches right
now. What was the last contract
address you were sent? I I couldn't even name it
actually actually. Last night I was sent this.
I wasn't sent. I was listening to Twitter Space
and Anonymous 'cause they were talking about me and then they
dropped like this dev is not dev dog thing.
What's it called? The guy from Chart Foo remember,
you know Chartfu dropped a coin last night.
He's on CN. I know who Chartfu is.
I know who if. This guy's like the magic eating
guy, bro. Do you guys know him?
You guys know him? The guy who was like doing the.
You know the handle, but I didn't see the one.
Who was the guy doing all the sheets?
This guy, he was doing all the sheets during.
Oh yeah, I know this guy. Anyways, he dropped a shit coin
last night. Oh wow.
Yeah, it's called Devis. Oh, this one.
Oh, that one, OK, That one moved up a ton.
It was. Like 1000.
Percent. And so I was on Spaces last
night and I caught it at like 8 million.
I woke up 3X and sold it. Oh, it's 3.
Million. Wow.
Yeah, I made $4000 while listening to people talk about
me on Spaces last night. It's not bad, not gonna lie.
My dog is the deaf. Yeah, dogs are hot right now.
Yeah, so he did a whole thread about it, Tyler.
Like explain how he's experimenting to like show how
Meteora at works or something like that could be partnerships.
And he said like listen like there will be.
So he like announced everything, made a whole thread about it
then said like listen like there will be chaos paid there will be
like look he did this whole thread about it yesterday and
then he started saying like 2-3 weeks ago I decided to launch
this thing with Meteora anyways meme coins blah blah blah.
Then he explains everything's and he was straight up like
listen, like, and then he posted this it like this, which I like.
So you have to save the image, copy paste the fucking CA right.
And he just like, I don't know, he he at least says it.
He's like what's going to be different is like transparency.
But who we're paying, there's vesting schedule.
Like I think he's taking this pretty seriously.
I don't know. So yeah.
I wouldn't say any of those are real differentiators, but I
guess it's positive to to see some live from from the trenches
coin launched overnight. People are saying that it's,
there's obviously clusters, bubble maps, all that stuff.
Listen, I don't know. I'm not endorsing this corn.
I'm just saying like we're talking about pump fun and meme
coins. That was the only thing I've
seen recently. But Mendel, you're right.
When's the last time you were sent to CA?
As a matter of fact, I haven't been sent to CA or I've seen ACA
fly around in a long time. I think the the the debate was
telling for me. I thinks folks expected that to
be like another one of the like the pump fun Super Bowl events.
And I didn't really hear any chatter about it.
I don't think any tokens really made it out and there there were
definitely memeable moments from from that debate, right?
And still nothing. So I think that's also kind of
aside. We've got a cat token or
something. I didn't see any really make it
out then the stat. I think Decrypt shared a story
yesterday that the 2,000,000 tokens launched from fun.
We've got just about 101 hundred over $1 million market right
now. Interesting just before I move
on to next topics, the code for today is rafflebot.
So you go to rafflebot dot XYZ shot Dija and Thai fell red guy
putting this together for us. The rafflebot code word is
interview, so you know how to spell that INTERVI EE i.e.
W sorry, interview, no caps, nothing interview.
So listen to the show, go to rafflebot dot XYZ and follow and
and and get in there. Just so you guys know, you have
to follow us myriad and real bit to enter.
And if you come and that I can't put this in the rules.
But if you win and you don't come up on stage, you lose.
If you win, you come up on stage, you don't unmute or show
that you're a real person, you also lose.
So I I'm I'm you know, we're we're doing this thing where the
host here can bypass that and and boot you for the reason that
we want real people just like yesterday, come up on stage and
win. So we don't give, you know,
hundreds of thousands of dollars away to butts, which by the way,
guys, we must be nearing $1,000,000 in, in, in like money
given away on the show so far. So that is, that is a pretty
cool stat. If you got $930,000 has been won
on this show so far. Yeah.
So we're going to be, we created today one punk, one punk today.
And we and the and the, and we hit the $1,000,000 mark.
So anyways, that's that about that.
Quickly, Tyler, you got a bunch of stuff.
So let's talk about Azuki. So that came out yesterday
during the whole like Trump thing.
So I didn't have time to look at it, but it looked pretty big.
It's been a nice summer for some of the the major NFT products.
We've got board apes going back to basics.
Gordon Goddard is working on the treasure hunt.
We've got the pudgy team launching abstract, broadening
its ecosystems, doodles with their short films and music
videos. Now it's Azuki's turn.
So Zagabond and the Azuki team, they announced the launch of
an-ime.com. It's a new platform again aimed
at transforming anime via web 3 text.
The product. It's part of a broader vision
for Anime 2 Point O. The idea is to create an
ecosystem where anime fans and creators can both share in the
success of the industry. For a quick summary of the
website an-ime.com and aims to offer on chain experiences
including a variety of IPS. It's developed a partnership
with Arbitrome. Shout out to Arbitrome on Anime
Chain. It will be released in phases.
It's not live yet, but users can join the wait list on the site
now. I think in Zach Ma's
announcement, he goes on to share how anime IP was the first
step in moving towards their two point O vision and now
infrastructure is the next step. And that's what they are are
building here with an-ime.com. That is the infrastructure the
market like that. Uzuki's up 13% on the data, 5.36
EI think that's one of the higher numbers I've seen from
them in in some time. Elementals also up 10% to 0.44
ETH on the day. You know, anime is huge.
I'm seeing some some stats I saw this morning when I was looking
into this global audience, over 600 million fans.
It's somewhat shocking. I've seen mixed figures, but
I've seen figures that 72% of people in United States watch
anime. I thought that felt high.
And then they they go on to say that there's actually more
people in the United States watching anime than in Japan.
Damn that's crazy. I mean, I, I was never an anime
guy and never with the watched it, but I, I always thought it
was really cool. But a lot of people I know like
are crazy about One Piece and everything.
This is this is pretty wild. I mean, good enough.
How much do you think they paid for the domain?
On the the Nifty show this morning they said that he
replied in the comments that they paid like $23,000 that it.
Wasn't no shot bro. But I would have expected to add
A at least a 0 or maybe a two. Yeah, I don't have the source
for. That you sure who who?
Who is the source for that? They were.
Talking about geez, I don't have the source.
Sometimes it's public how much they trade for right.
Yeah, sometimes it is public. I forget.
I don't know the domain game as much, but I figured an-ime.com,
that's like a, that's like a crazy, crazy domain.
They've got. Good for them dude.
There's life in the tease life in PF PS right now.
I mean, all these PF PS now are not competing not only for the
PFP market, but also chain, right, anime chain ape, chain
abstract, right, different abstracts in L2 and the other
two are are L threes in Arbitrum.
But but you know, there were also this to keep in mind,
right? Like they have to now focus on
getting focus on getting, you know, people to build on their
chains right beyond the PF PS. Like some are, you know, they're
they're going more of the, you know, just chain per project
route. So I think the anime chain is
more just about their, their project and ecosystem, you know,
versus abstract, which is looking to be bigger than than
pudgies and, and trying to get other builders to come on and go
after broader consumer crypto, which is also where kind of the
ape chain is going to. So it is creating a bit of a, a
competitive L2 landscape for, for these NFTS.
Perhaps that's going to be one of the themes of 2025.
Is is the chain battles? Yeah.
For PFPS. But hey, as long as there's a
narrative, as long as they're still around, I think that's
still a win. Absolutely.
There's definitely a chain battle.
Let me tell you that after the Myriad announcement, it's the
Marietta chains that that reached out to to talk.
I can. Imagine.
This the only meetings I had this week was around that Trump
and and what we're up to. But it is it was interesting to
to see and there's definitely a lot, a lot of them at the
moment. So it'll be interesting to see
which ones actually make it right and which one live long
enough to survive that. All right.
Well, I guess that's a good wrap right around around that.
Mando, are you going to Singapore next week or just
Ovie? No, just just heavy.
Oh, he's going right. I think he's the the redacted
plane right this weekend and then and then and then we were
supposed to be on that plane actually as well, but something
came up so it's going to be tough Tyler, you're not you're
not hitting Singapore. I'm.
Not going to make it over to Singapore, so.
Far dude, I don't blame you honestly.
Low key though, I'm so happy when this came up and I had to
cancel Singapore because that way I don't have to go back all
the way that. Would have been brutal travel.
So you're going on Saturday? I am leaving Saturday afternoon
tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon late, and then Sunday we're
setting up Mar a Lago. And then Monday I'll be there
all day long so I don't have to go in and out because you have
to go through like, Secret Service sweeps, which, by the
way, receiving an e-mail from the Secret Service is fucking
crazy. OK, I have to tell you, lads,
like, having to like, fill the forms I did before the show and
do everything that was the most like, that's why I really hit.
It's like, whoa, wait, this is real, but this is really real.
I guess first it's just conversations and it's like
starts getting real, you know, tweets go out, this goes out and
you're like, oh shit. Anyways, if you're headed to
single. We know everything about you at
this stage, man. Oh.
Mother, Brother, Brother. Your name is running a an extra
check. That's, that's all I'm saying,
Mother. They have my Social Security
number. They have.
I called my mom and I said I'm like, mom, what's my Social
Security number? She's like for what?
I'm like, don't worry about it. Just give me the Social Security
number. She's like for what?
Fuck, for Donald Trump, she is like what?
Oh Lord, oh Lord, yeah, it's definitely oh man, it's it's
definitely it's definitely going to be some.
I can't wait. But look, we'll be able to talk
about on the show on Monday morning because I'll be with you
guys and then I'm heading tomorrow, Lago.
But quickly before this, I do want to shout out our event in
Singapore, which is taking place on the 18th.
So you can join Marriott Tides, which is Co hosted by ourselves,
Oros and a bunch of other super cool brands like Arbitrum
etcetera. So so that'll be a lot of fun.
And also epoch Epoch, make sure that you head there.
It's going to be hosted by 841 MOA.
It's a 2 day infrastructure summit that brings together
brightest minds in blockchain. So you'll have all the speakers
from like Bear Chain, Lyto, Mantel, Egg and Layer etcetera.
We're a media partner for that. We'll be covering it as well.
So 16th, 17th, then we have our events in the 18th and a lot of
cool stuff to do. And I'm pretty sure there's
gonna be some rec drinks around Singapore, if I'm not mistaken,
a couple events. So check out, check that out
because there's always some cool stuff.
But definitely make sure you head to the epoch event, because
if you're interested, all this blockchain stuff, all the big
founders are going to be present there for sure anyways.
