1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,640
Look at that. 
Look at that. 

2
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:04,080
You've got your own theme song. 
I didn't even know that was 

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,880
gonna happen. 
That just happened with our 

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520
producer. 
J6 clearly came in, was 

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,240
listening to the show yesterday.
He owes us a few favors given. 

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,600
He won a few prizes on rec radio
and now has decided to put you 

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,080
guys in. 
So you're now official team 

8
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,760
members, it seems like. 
How do you feel for one more day

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,200
then I'm firing? 
You back. 

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,760
That wasn't. 
I'm just happy that Cows finally

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,890
like, has a name. 
Because like, he was just done 

12
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:31,970
dirty this whole week. 
No one. 

13
00:00:32,409 --> 00:00:36,890
I've been carrying the show and 
I was lost off the titles I 

14
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:43,370
scheduled in faces on Tuesday 
and then so we already had. 

15
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:45,690
And then I couldn't find the 
many ways I was like, right, 

16
00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:47,330
this is easy this way. 
But today I was like, right, 

17
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:49,450
that's it. 
Cows gets an official mention. 

18
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:52,130
It also looks like Farooq is not
gonna be here next week. 

19
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:54,570
He is gonna be in Singapore 
time. 

20
00:00:54,570 --> 00:00:57,630
He let us know I was potentially
gonna go out there. 

21
00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:00,070
I'm not. 
So it looks like it's me and OSF

22
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:03,670
and who knows? 
Who knows how they show? 

23
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:08,350
It there is a spot up for grabs,
like one of you will make it. 

24
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:13,310
That's all I'm gonna say. 
That's no, look, Cows is already

25
00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:17,470
saying that he carried and he's 
the new Farok, so I don't know, 

26
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:20,070
but that's crazy. 
So Farok is just like, no, he 

27
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:23,550
had his birthday and he's just, 
he's just off, isn't he? 

28
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,400
I mean, this is a lot guys in my
opinion. 

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,320
The funny thing is is, well, I I
took a week off in August and 

30
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:31,040
the whole show stopped during 
that week. 

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,800
They both decided that they 
weren't going to do the show and

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,320
then the week, the week that 
they take weeks off, I have to 

33
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,560
continue. 
To do this show, well, they 

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,840
didn't take it off. 
Hold on, hold on, hold on. 

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,520
We actually ran for a grant a 
whole event in Toronto that 

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,240
week. 
So a whole event. 

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,760
So that was a crazy week. 
But I mean. 

38
00:01:53,610 --> 00:01:57,930
I mean I, I, I gotta admit this 
it's like it's you guys are 

39
00:01:57,930 --> 00:01:59,690
definitely you know put it in 
the work. 

40
00:01:59,730 --> 00:02:03,090
I mean it's it's like every day 
you have like the fresh hot news

41
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:04,330
and then you're just delivering 
it. 

42
00:02:04,330 --> 00:02:07,970
I mean that's it's not easy. 
It's not easy exactly. 

43
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:09,650
I appreciate that. 
Thank you. 

44
00:02:10,009 --> 00:02:13,490
Appreciate. 
That you go in this room by 

45
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:16,170
Friday. 
Like first Monday everybody was 

46
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:19,290
like la, la, la, and now Friday 
everybody's just like, Oh yeah, 

47
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:23,020
I'm carrying this on my back, 
buttering me up so she can come 

48
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:24,860
on next week. 
That's how it is. 

49
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:27,740
Clearly, when I said it's gonna 
be one of you 2, now she's 

50
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:30,460
throwing the compliments. 
You do a great job, like showing

51
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:33,220
up during the bear market. 
Callie's not playing the game 

52
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,620
clearly, of course. 
Right. 

53
00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:38,380
Well, we are sponsored again 
today by cracking NFT. 

54
00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:39,820
We obviously had the on 
Wednesday. 

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Great guys. 
Interesting to see how they're 

56
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,560
building it alongside a bunch of
different communities. 

57
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Be sure to check out their 
webpage, It's kraken.com for 

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Rugradio to see some of the 
stuff that we've got coming up. 

59
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,920
So they're gonna be partnering 
with a bunch of different 

60
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,120
creators across rug radio for 
the next month. 

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,200
We are super happy to have them 
alongside us. 

62
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,920
And yeah, we might as well get 
straight into it. 

63
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:06,510
Cuz again crypto rallied and 
then just went straight back 

64
00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:08,790
down to where it was. 
It felt like we were on for a 

65
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:12,510
bit of a positive day for once. 
Maybe we'd break out of this 

66
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:16,430
range and that doesn't seem to 
have happened, which is a little

67
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:21,270
bit sad. 
But in terms of the topics to 

68
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:25,280
get into, the first one I 
thought we'd mentioned was the 

69
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:30,160
news about the CFTC seemingly 
coming off the D5. 

70
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,640
I don't know if you guys saw 
this news, but we've all been 

71
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:34,600
worried about the SEC for a long
time. 

72
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Obviously they've had some 
pretty big fights against key 

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,480
members of the crypto community.
It now looks like the CFTC, 

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,560
which is the main exchange for 
derivatives and futures stuff 

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000
that we were talking about 
before is now coming after a 

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320
number of different D5 protocols
for trading. 

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Some of these seemingly to US 
investors. 

78
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480
And this, this puts into the 
cross, has a bunch of different 

79
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,280
decentralized public changes 
that we we see in the space. 

80
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,800
DYDXI think it was one of the 
big ones, but it's just another.

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,080
They seem to be less aggressive 
I would say. 

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,680
I saw another headline saying 
that they were going to, they 

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,360
were going to start like a 
conversation with different 

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,079
people about how to become more 
compliant. 

85
00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:22,110
But it's oh, that was today. 
Just bring up many minutes 

86
00:04:22,110 --> 00:04:27,030
again, maybe it's through today,
but yeah, it's not a great 

87
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:29,270
situation. 
I think to have another 

88
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,830
regulatory board in the US 
coming after them. 

89
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:35,750
So pop twist, the CFTC could be 
a bigger enemy to D5 than the 

90
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:38,910
SEC. 
CFTC claims that OX Open and 

91
00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:42,470
Direct X will offer legal 
digital asset derivatives 

92
00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:46,380
trading and they have kind of 
come out of them. 

93
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:49,900
These are, to be clear, these 
are all US based companies and 

94
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:52,940
obviously the CFTC only accounts
for US based companies. 

95
00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:56,140
So a lot of decentralized 
protocols are not based in the 

96
00:04:56,140 --> 00:05:00,220
US or a lot of D5 in general. 
It's not based in the US, It's 

97
00:05:00,220 --> 00:05:02,060
actually doesn't really have a 
domicile. 

98
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:06,020
But yeah, interesting to see and
I think a lot of D5 people were 

99
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:10,100
pretty worried that this could 
be the next leg of like the 

100
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:12,220
government basically getting 
involved in FIFA. 

101
00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:15,770
What do you think has? 
I didn't read the whole thing. 

102
00:05:15,770 --> 00:05:18,130
I read bits of it. 
It felt like they were focused 

103
00:05:18,130 --> 00:05:24,050
on people who are offering 
derivatives based on like, not 

104
00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:25,770
necessarily on crypto assets, 
right? 

105
00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:30,290
Like on a lot of these companies
you can you can trade like like 

106
00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:34,690
synthetic equity derivatives. 
I think it felt like that was 

107
00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:37,900
what they were focusing on. 
I'm not sure, no. 

108
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:38,980
I think it's for everything I 
think. 

109
00:05:39,060 --> 00:05:42,140
I think it is also for for 
crypto, but because it because 

110
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:45,180
for them if it's a derivative of
a commodity, it doesn't really 

111
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:47,100
matter, right? 
They fine. 

112
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:52,340
It's also under their remit. 
So I think I think. 

113
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:54,780
If that's the case, coming after
everything, yeah. 

114
00:05:55,140 --> 00:05:57,380
If that's the case, then all of 
these companies will just leave 

115
00:05:57,460 --> 00:05:59,420
the US and it will push 
everything offshore, which is 

116
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:02,180
kind of what we saw with FDX as 
well, right? 

117
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:08,560
At least this feels like there's
some a bit more clarity here 

118
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,200
rather than the SEC. 
The SEC is just like you've 

119
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,800
broken the rules, We don't know 
what the rules are. 

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,280
Whereas the CFC, I think is more
about that These guys are 

121
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:22,160
unregistered rather than like 
they're necessarily enemies of 

122
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,840
the state, but we don't know in 
what way. 

123
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,480
I think I feel less concerned 
about it because it's more 

124
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,440
what's the right word. 
It's more defined what they're 

125
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,920
trying to do right. 
I would agree they seem less 

126
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,040
aggressive than the SECI think 
like you said, they're only 

127
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,960
coming after US based domiciled 
exchanges at this stage, which 

128
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,760
is a good, much better scenario 
than than the SEC, which 

129
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,920
seemingly just came after every 
token that was issued, 

130
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,040
admittedly by US exchanges. 
But still, yeah, I agree with 

131
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,120
what your take was, which is 
that this probably just moves 

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,040
everything offshore. 
There was another tweet actually

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,280
which came out yesterday by Alex
Sebetnik who is the CEO of 

134
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,040
Nansen I believe. 
Yes, CEO of Nansen came out with

135
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,360
the top ten countries for crypto
adoption, Singapore she came #1,

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,120
Switzerland #2UA E #3, Hong Kong
#4 and US #5. 

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,440
It does feel like those those 
four there are going to be far 

138
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,720
ahead of the US as as the years 
come up and it looks like, I 

139
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,120
don't know if you're if you're a
in crypto right now. 

140
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,480
Do you do you ever really want 
to domicile in the US? 

141
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,360
This feels like just it's gonna 
get caught doing something 

142
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600
wrong. 
Yeah, downside big upside bad, 

143
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,560
upside small. 
I think it's interesting. 

144
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,120
I saw this post as well, but it 
didn't. 

145
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,960
It didn't. 
I don't go into detail about 

146
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,800
what the. 
At first I thought it was like 

147
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,600
percentage of people using 
crypto, but it kind of is just a

148
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,550
random index, right? 
I think, I think I didn't delve 

149
00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:58,510
into it that much deeper. 
I just kind of took it at face 

150
00:07:58,510 --> 00:08:00,950
value. 
But yeah yeah, kind of made 

151
00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:02,470
sense to me. 
Switzerland has a bunch. 

152
00:08:02,510 --> 00:08:04,430
I mean I think the Ethereum 
Foundation is based in 

153
00:08:04,430 --> 00:08:08,070
Switzerland alongside a number 
of different crypto firms. 

154
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:11,470
Singapore, Singapore recently 
actually looks like it could 

155
00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:15,270
could not. 
They hired, sorry no not hired. 

156
00:08:15,310 --> 00:08:20,070
They elected a non friendly, non
crypto friendly president in the

157
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:24,000
last week and they've brought in
some pretty strong regulation 

158
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,880
against stablecoins or at least 
that would make making 

159
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520
stablecoins pretty difficult. 
Obviously there is some context 

160
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,159
there that will happen with 
Lunar and all that sort of 

161
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:39,679
stuff, but it is maybe looking 
less friendly whereas the UAE to

162
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,880
me, I mean you're there Mika. 
It feels as though everyone from

163
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,930
crypto is moving there. 
Yeah, I mean, it just makes 

164
00:08:47,930 --> 00:08:50,850
sense. 
Why, why wanna, you know, if 

165
00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:53,850
you're working in Web Three, why
I feel like kind of like, I 

166
00:08:53,850 --> 00:08:56,690
don't know, like a criminal. 
I feel like in North America you

167
00:08:56,690 --> 00:08:59,610
just feel like I'm doing 
something I shouldn't be doing 

168
00:08:59,610 --> 00:09:02,050
when at the end of the day this,
all of these tools and 

169
00:09:02,050 --> 00:09:03,890
technology is the next phase of 
the Internet. 

170
00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:07,530
So it feels good in the UAE 
knowing that the government 

171
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:10,970
supports you. 
There are people that see this. 

172
00:09:11,550 --> 00:09:13,790
As it is, which is an 
opportunity. 

173
00:09:13,790 --> 00:09:18,070
So yeah, definitely makes sense 
why people are are going there, 

174
00:09:18,270 --> 00:09:20,950
why I went there for example, 
right. 

175
00:09:20,950 --> 00:09:23,830
Like you just it's so weird 
about about this industry which 

176
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:26,390
is just a tech industry that 
people feel like they're 

177
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:28,110
criminals just for like being 
part of it. 

178
00:09:28,510 --> 00:09:30,630
There is some obviously some 
criminal behavior going on, but 

179
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:31,990
as there isn't many, many. 
Different, yeah. 

180
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:33,750
But it's like that. 
It's like that everywhere. 

181
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,870
It's so it's so really, you 
know, it's silly. 

182
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:38,510
It's a little. 
There's obviously things it's 

183
00:09:38,510 --> 00:09:39,590
not. 
It's not silly. 

184
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:43,710
There's things that are. 
To be under covered like to 

185
00:09:43,830 --> 00:09:46,510
uncover. 
So you know that's what we do I 

186
00:09:46,510 --> 00:09:48,550
guess on the show when we're 
talking about these things. 

187
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:51,390
I think we go deeper into like 
what's really going on and then 

188
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:54,430
you you hear about all the World
News and then you're like, this 

189
00:09:54,430 --> 00:09:56,150
makes sense why this is like 
this so? 

190
00:09:56,570 --> 00:09:59,330
I think education is key, which 
is why I'm taking my notes from 

191
00:09:59,330 --> 00:10:01,170
the Mando minutes. 
Meet the minutes. 

192
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:03,610
My God. 
So that's the aim. 

193
00:10:03,610 --> 00:10:06,290
We're trying to peel back the 
layers of what the fuck's going 

194
00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:08,650
on here. 
But yeah, I thought that was an 

195
00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:10,610
interesting headline. 
People pointed to that as one of

196
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,490
the reasons why we didn't 
continue the rally. 

197
00:10:12,490 --> 00:10:15,970
Like people were saying that 
this is bad for D5. 

198
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:20,570
Any D5 protocols that have 
operations in the US could get 

199
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,440
could get attacked. 
This does involve in particular 

200
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,720
the like derivative exchanges 
which have been pretty big 

201
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:33,640
recently, things like dydx, GMX,
but but this could extend into 

202
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,480
other things. 
It does feel like, yeah, I don't

203
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,080
want to be labeled a criminal. 
I do not want to be based in the

204
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,400
US for most of that reasons. 
I think the other side of this 

205
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,440
is that you can see the 
Crowdfire guys being going to 

206
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,840
the ACFCC being like, look, if 
we're not going to compete with 

207
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320
a bunch of unregulated guys, 
like they need to, everyone 

208
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,520
needs to be playing by the same 
rules. 

209
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,320
If they're going to come in and 
stop offering derivatives in a 

210
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,040
big way, I if I was them, I'd be
going to the regulator being 

211
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800
like, look, we play by the 
rules, these guys should as 

212
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,400
well. 
That's what it felt like to me. 

213
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,400
Yeah, right. 
The second thing I think we we, 

214
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,080
we would go into is Solana. 
A lot of people have Solana bags

215
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,480
in the space, obviously Solana 
big NFT ecosystem. 

216
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,760
Interestingly the Solana 
ecosystem is moving, has been 

217
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,680
moving more toward Open AI and 
this is God, this keeps going 

218
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,200
more towards a Solana phone. 
Recently, I know you guys have 

219
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,410
seen this, but they brought out 
a phone which is meant to to 

220
00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:41,970
kind of prioritize security 
firstly, and Marcus Marcus Brown

221
00:11:42,370 --> 00:11:45,930
Brownlee, who's like a very 
famous tech reviewer. 

222
00:11:47,210 --> 00:11:52,290
Wow, 17.4 million subscribers 
did a review of the Salon phone.

223
00:11:52,290 --> 00:11:54,730
I won't go into like what's put 
on the background, you can come 

224
00:11:54,730 --> 00:11:57,650
and see, but basically just said
it was terrible. 

225
00:11:58,090 --> 00:12:00,130
I don't think you've listed the 
whole thing, but it was. 

226
00:12:01,390 --> 00:12:05,070
He just said that the, like, the
operating system wasn't great. 

227
00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:08,070
The only, the only interesting 
thing thought was about the 

228
00:12:08,070 --> 00:12:10,550
cable that they used to connect 
it, some sort of special cable 

229
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:13,830
that stops some form of phone 
jacking that could take place if

230
00:12:13,830 --> 00:12:15,670
you charge your phone in public 
places. 

231
00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:19,510
But I didn't think it looked 
that bad to me. 

232
00:12:19,510 --> 00:12:21,830
I don't understand why his 
reaction was so progressive, but

233
00:12:21,830 --> 00:12:23,030
he does. 
I mean, you watched his 

234
00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:25,190
interviews quite a lot, like you
watched his stuff quite a lot 

235
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:28,430
that you got it. 
Like he does go into Usha of why

236
00:12:28,430 --> 00:12:31,450
something is better than another
thing and he has a really 

237
00:12:31,450 --> 00:12:33,290
detailed knowledge of all the 
different products in the 

238
00:12:33,290 --> 00:12:34,850
market. 
So I look at this and think 

239
00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:37,930
that's quite a cool phone. 
Like, I don't know, looks like. 

240
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:39,410
You're not a tech guy. 
You're not. 

241
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:44,970
You have no understanding or 
interest in tech I think does 

242
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:47,690
not consumer products. 
Tech consumer products to this 

243
00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:52,010
level, right This is. 
The thing is, I think his point 

244
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:53,730
is that it's like too expensive 
for what it is. 

245
00:12:53,730 --> 00:12:56,090
It's like a basic, a very very 
basic. 

246
00:12:56,810 --> 00:13:00,170
Android phone which should cost 
like 200 bucks but it costs like

247
00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:03,010
it did cost 1000 and now it 
costs 600. 

248
00:13:03,810 --> 00:13:07,530
And then the only crypto things 
about it are like the seed vault

249
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:11,130
where you can store yourself on 
a seed phase adapt store which I

250
00:13:11,130 --> 00:13:14,970
think a lot of other phones are 
trying to integrate and then 

251
00:13:14,970 --> 00:13:18,770
some other thing where it's like
I couldn't get it. 

252
00:13:18,770 --> 00:13:21,330
Also, I just don't know why 
people are releasing but like 

253
00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:23,650
Samsung and Apple are going to 
dominate you whatever you do 

254
00:13:23,650 --> 00:13:25,730
right? 
Like is a phone. 

255
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,560
There was a time when in the in 
last year when was like booming 

256
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,080
and everyone was so high, people
were saying the next iteration 

257
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,920
of this is hardware. 
And that's I think why the team 

258
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,400
started working on this. 
And then and then nobody's left 

259
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,920
apart from us three and a couple
of people in the chat and now 

260
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,560
there's a phone. 
I mean it's such a niche appeal,

261
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:52,400
Solana as well and you could 
only use it with Solana. 

262
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,820
So you can't bridge to east or 
anything and the push back on 

263
00:13:56,820 --> 00:14:01,260
that is that it's clear that the
App Store run by Apple is not 

264
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:02,540
going to be that crypto 
friendly. 

265
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:07,580
It's going to put 30% charges on
every single app purchase or 

266
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,660
transaction that happens. 
Which is why even with things 

267
00:14:09,660 --> 00:14:12,100
like friend tech for example, 
and various different, they're 

268
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,820
doing like these, they're not 
doing App Store apps, they're 

269
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:19,260
doing like direct to your home 
screen, start apps, right. 

270
00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:23,530
So they bypass all that App 
Store stuff and they feel as 

271
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:27,050
though that's a big thing. 
Like mobile is a huge, huge 

272
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:29,250
thing for adoption. 
And if the App Store is not 

273
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:32,930
going to be there doing it, 
Solana wants to do its own 

274
00:14:32,930 --> 00:14:38,850
version of an App Store. 
Meta Mask I think, came out this

275
00:14:38,850 --> 00:14:41,290
week and said they were going to
do their own version of an App 

276
00:14:41,290 --> 00:14:43,450
Store as well, Multichain, 
including Solana. 

277
00:14:43,890 --> 00:14:47,530
So maybe we see something like 
you open up your meta mask app 

278
00:14:47,530 --> 00:14:49,970
on your phone and that has its 
own App Store. 

279
00:14:50,170 --> 00:14:53,260
But I still think Apple would 
comfort, like I still think 

280
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,140
Apple's going to get in the way 
of that sort of stuff. 

281
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:57,780
So I, I don't know there's been 
other people that have 

282
00:14:57,780 --> 00:14:59,660
considered doing a phone. 
I think I think a lot of people 

283
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:01,100
thought Ledger would come out of
the phone. 

284
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,740
They they they released, they're
big in hardware, right? 

285
00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:05,540
They they've got that stacked 
product coming out. 

286
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,660
There's been talk about them 
doing phone for a long, long 

287
00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:10,980
time. 
I on boarding is so tough. 

288
00:15:11,420 --> 00:15:14,060
It's so tough. 
It's so cumbersome and if 

289
00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:17,020
Apple's going to make it even 
more difficult and maybe we do 

290
00:15:17,020 --> 00:15:19,700
need some hardware, but I agree 
it's not the market to release 

291
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:20,860
it. 
No one wants this right now. 

292
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,960
What do you think? 
I think that the hardware that 

293
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,800
is going to progress this 
industry is actually the Apple's

294
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,480
Reality Pro, like the XR 
headset, because that's going to

295
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,080
make all of these digital 
collectibles and art pretty much

296
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,600
like, relevant. 
Like why look at your Open C 

297
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,120
collection on, you know, your 
Apple MacBook? 

298
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,240
Like that's the hardware. 
Why not use the XR headset and 

299
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,800
then see it all around you like 
come to life, You know so. 

300
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,960
I think that that's going to be 
the hardware that's going to 

301
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,560
change the game. 
But what's interesting is that 

302
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,080
you are right that the app, 
Apple App Store at the end of 

303
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,080
the day, like it's not so quote 
UN quote Web 3 friendly. 

304
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,480
So maybe that's like the real 
purpose of a phone. 

305
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,040
And if you want those, you know 
that the the Web 3 apps, then 

306
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,800
you might just need the salon on
the phone. 

307
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,440
But I actually saw this video 
and I was like, I don't want to 

308
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,000
play it because I just don't 
want bad news. 

309
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,960
But I'm going to watch it later.
Yeah. 

310
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,680
I don't think Solana really 
cared about it. 

311
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,160
I think the price of Solana 
seemingly is like unchanged 

312
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160
since it came out. 
And I don't think people had 

313
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,480
high hopes for this phone 
beforehand. 

314
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,240
They cut the price recently and 
everyone was like, none of these

315
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,520
are selling. 
It's pretty obvious. 

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,400
So I don't think people were 
like waiting on bated breath 

317
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,640
this to be a massive success for
people. 

318
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,600
So it is what it is. 
I don't think the Solana phone 

319
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,480
is going to be like a game 
changer. 

320
00:16:50,670 --> 00:16:53,870
I this is the first time I've 
met heard it really mentioned on

321
00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:58,830
the timeline for a while like 
let's say weeks so it doesn't 

322
00:16:58,830 --> 00:16:59,750
feel. 
Months. 

323
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:03,750
Maybe even it was NSCMSC when 
people were talking about it. 

324
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:05,310
Was that right? 
Yeah. 

325
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:07,230
But it got some air time when 
they cut the price. 

326
00:17:07,670 --> 00:17:11,990
But then again, I think that 
again, it didn't make it feel as

327
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:16,349
though it's going really well. 
So I think, I think people are 

328
00:17:16,430 --> 00:17:19,480
probably going to sunset that 
eventually and also this was 

329
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,440
this was made with had a huge 
budget right. 

330
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,839
FTX is still going that's when 
they just like do all this stuff

331
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,560
and I just don't feel like this 
is going to continue to get 

332
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,040
continue to get funding. 
But you know we'll see Hopefully

333
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080
Salon does come back strong 
talking about apps that are 

334
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,720
doing well. 
I don't know if you saw it today

335
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,280
but friend tech again is going 
it's going pretty nuts. 

336
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,440
I only know this because I 
actually do use this site. 

337
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:49,950
What's your, what's your P&L so 
far? 

338
00:17:50,030 --> 00:17:53,070
Give us some trading insights. 
I don't really trade this year 

339
00:17:53,070 --> 00:18:00,190
about like having a an account. 
I feel like which people would 

340
00:18:00,190 --> 00:18:02,630
buy shares in is that like I 
don't really want to be buying 

341
00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:06,070
selling shares in my in friends 
and all I ever see on the 

342
00:18:06,110 --> 00:18:09,710
timeline is like people get 
absolutely destroyed for. 

343
00:18:09,790 --> 00:18:14,150
Oh, I have. 
I sold Laura Wolf for like $100.

344
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:16,150
It was great. 
It was it was awesome. 

345
00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:17,470
Yeah. 
No, sell your friend. 

346
00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:20,150
No joke. 
I mean, I did just for fun cuz 

347
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:22,550
like, why not, You know, I just 
wanted to test it out. 

348
00:18:22,550 --> 00:18:25,350
But I definitely did sell my 
friends. 

349
00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:27,590
It was very funny. 
I've kicked people out of group 

350
00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:28,550
chat. 
No, I'm joking. 

351
00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:33,990
But I think the only issue with 
me with Friend Tech is that I 

352
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:36,990
wanted to see what it was like, 
like the process of, you know, 

353
00:18:36,990 --> 00:18:39,870
pulling out money, putting in 
money, putting in money wasn't 

354
00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:41,390
an issue, is actually pretty 
quick. 

355
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:46,670
But taking out your money from 
Friend Tech, it's like, I still,

356
00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:49,870
I think it takes like the way 
that I did it with base and 

357
00:18:49,870 --> 00:18:52,470
everything, like bridging. 
I don't know, it said seven days

358
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:54,550
or something and I still haven't
seen it. 

359
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:59,030
So let's see. 
Oh yeah, I must. 

360
00:19:00,150 --> 00:19:02,230
That's not a friend. 
Yeah, that's just A roll up. 

361
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:06,070
I think, yeah, that's just made 
the the bridge or something with

362
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:08,790
with base, yeah, quicker 
bridges. 

363
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:12,350
Yeah, I just wish they would 
have told me that. 

364
00:19:12,350 --> 00:19:15,030
It's going to take that long 
before using that because 

365
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:16,390
obviously I could have used a 
different bridge. 

366
00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:21,310
So beware. 
Beware the optimistic roll up 

367
00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:23,150
the name. 
Why it's called optimistic is 

368
00:19:23,150 --> 00:19:26,090
because they are kind of 
essentially hoping that the 

369
00:19:26,090 --> 00:19:28,970
transactions are right, but then
they have this like 7 day period

370
00:19:28,970 --> 00:19:31,690
where they can double check and 
that's the reason why it takes 

371
00:19:31,690 --> 00:19:33,050
seven days for you to get your 
money out. 

372
00:19:34,450 --> 00:19:37,570
So if you did something bad on 
the chain, they have the seven 

373
00:19:37,570 --> 00:19:40,050
days because they were 
optimistic of the star that they

374
00:19:40,050 --> 00:19:42,690
were right. 
That's basically where I guess 

375
00:19:42,690 --> 00:19:45,210
that came from. 
So optimistic always means seven

376
00:19:45,210 --> 00:19:47,210
days out. 
They there was talk about them 

377
00:19:47,210 --> 00:19:51,130
maybe reducing it to like if it 
was even to increasing it if one

378
00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:53,800
of the two. 
But that there will always be 

379
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200
some sort of time delay when you
try and get your money out of an

380
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,720
optic rollup unless you do like 
one of the the other bridges 

381
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,040
which makes it a slightly 
quicker process but sometimes a 

382
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,400
little bit more costly. 
But yeah, it does feel like that

383
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,080
that app is it's no longer only 
fans account, it does feel like 

384
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,080
it does feel mainly crypto 
people trying to farm this 

385
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,240
AirDrop. 
But it is still doing a crazy 

386
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,200
amount of. 
I mean the top accounts are 

387
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,950
worth like 5 E now. 
Like what's really happened is 

388
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:24,830
people are buying the top 
accounts because they think 

389
00:20:24,830 --> 00:20:26,910
that's gonna be the main way to 
get the AirDrop. 

390
00:20:27,630 --> 00:20:30,630
So it's got a very exponential 
curve. 

391
00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:34,830
Like the top ones are really, 
really high now, but. 

392
00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:39,230
I got scared because I was like 
on the top trending page like 

393
00:20:39,230 --> 00:20:43,310
when they made like that 
trending page and my PFP was 

394
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:46,780
with like. 
Just a different industry, you 

395
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:50,260
know, And I I got a little 
worried because then I was like,

396
00:20:50,260 --> 00:20:54,180
Oh no, I don't really like for, 
you know, my brand and stuff. 

397
00:20:54,180 --> 00:20:57,660
I don't want to be associated 
with like certain things. 

398
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:00,300
And then I saw I was on this 
like trending list and then I 

399
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:03,220
didn't want people to think 
like, oh, I was doing. 

400
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,620
You know what they were doing. 
I don't know what any of this 

401
00:21:05,620 --> 00:21:07,420
means, but it sounds. 
You don't. 

402
00:21:07,460 --> 00:21:10,780
I'm being cryptic, yeah. 
I'm on Fensack, but I don't know

403
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:12,380
what Mika. 
You don't know what I'm talking 

404
00:21:12,380 --> 00:21:13,220
about, OK? 
I don't know. 

405
00:21:13,220 --> 00:21:17,260
I'm just like or like bought 
some sort of trending thing like

406
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:19,500
you can buy trending things. 
I've seen that's what you're 

407
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:21,060
saying. 
There was just, I think 

408
00:21:21,060 --> 00:21:27,100
everybody at the same time who 
was doing only fans like joined 

409
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:31,900
Friend Tech and then my PFP got 
caught in that. 

410
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:36,090
You know, genre of trending And 
then like some, like really 

411
00:21:36,090 --> 00:21:39,490
popular like Twitter, the X 
person, like posted and then 

412
00:21:39,490 --> 00:21:42,370
everyone was like, wait, you 
know Mika has this or like 

413
00:21:42,370 --> 00:21:45,130
what's going on? 
And I'm just like, no. 

414
00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:47,890
So then I got like, I'm like, 
hey, I don't want to be, I don't

415
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:50,450
want to be like, I'm just scared
because I don't want people to 

416
00:21:50,450 --> 00:21:52,250
think like to get the wrong 
idea. 

417
00:21:52,250 --> 00:21:55,610
So I kind of, like stopped like 
using it too much. 

418
00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:57,930
And also there's so much 
controversy because it's like. 

419
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:01,680
You know, first I was excited 
because you have to use new tech

420
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,960
in the Web 3 space. 
Like, no matter what you're 

421
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,920
doing, you need to try out new 
apps, new products, or else 

422
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,000
you're just kind of you're lost.
You're you're, you know, years 

423
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,360
behind. 
So I tried it right away, like 

424
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:15,560
the first day and then saw Kobe 
using it. 

425
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,480
Everybody like in the industry 
who you know, I would like. 

426
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,880
Watch. 
And now it's kind of just like. 

427
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040
I don't know, is it? 
Is it OK to use it? 

428
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,640
Mando, you're using it like so 
that's bad. 

429
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,200
That's my history of this sort 
of stuff, right? 

430
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,920
There's clearly been a few very,
very publicly failed experiments

431
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,280
where people have lost a lot of 
money. 

432
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:43,520
I think this is as successful as
how the the accounts use it. 

433
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,400
And I actually think some of the
accounts that came in, let's say

434
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,400
the only fan style, there was a 
few like gamers who came in. 

435
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,480
We basically just used it to 
make a quick buck. 

436
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,040
I do think that increasingly I'm
also seeing some value from what

437
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,240
people are doing in there, like 
for example, KB M, but I'm going

438
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,040
to put all of my levered trades 
in this chat. 

439
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Now that essentially is like an 
alpha group. 

440
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,040
But people do pay for that 
stuff, like people do pay to be 

441
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,440
closer to top traders or top 
thought leaders in the space. 

442
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,580
So as long as it doesn't just 
become like what we just saw, we

443
00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:22,100
took about yesterday, it's like,
right, I'm going to dump this 

444
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,620
coin on my followers as long as 
there's actual value being 

445
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:27,180
created. 
And I think you will see that. 

446
00:23:27,460 --> 00:23:30,300
Like I do think the accounts 
that are doing that are 

447
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:34,180
naturally going closer to the 
top and the accounts that just 

448
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:37,300
used it on the back of their 
name and aren't really using it 

449
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:39,820
to provide any sort of utility 
aren't actually falling down. 

450
00:23:39,820 --> 00:23:42,780
So I do think there is, you got 
to be careful because I think 

451
00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:45,740
that as I said, I don't think 
you should be buying shares of 

452
00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:48,860
people for speculation that like
oh, he's famous, he'll go higher

453
00:23:49,380 --> 00:23:52,340
I think. 
But there is genuine like 

454
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:55,780
interactions that that can be 
done this way, which I think 

455
00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:58,540
could be valuable to people and 
I can see why that will continue

456
00:23:58,540 --> 00:24:01,100
to be valuable to people. 
If KB M decides to make that his

457
00:24:02,060 --> 00:24:04,860
like alpha chat, then people 
will pay to be part of that 

458
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:06,780
chat. 
And the same with a lot of 

459
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:09,930
these, a lot of these top guys. 
So I think that's there is some 

460
00:24:09,930 --> 00:24:11,490
value to it, but let's see what 
happens. 

461
00:24:11,490 --> 00:24:14,330
I think for now, whenever I've 
mentioned like spoken in the 

462
00:24:14,330 --> 00:24:17,450
chat, there's clearly a lot of 
people in there just farming the

463
00:24:17,450 --> 00:24:20,130
AirDrop right now. 
So I think you'll only really 

464
00:24:20,130 --> 00:24:23,730
know how good this is after the 
AirDrop. 

465
00:24:24,770 --> 00:24:26,930
Wait, what's the AirDrop? 
Like? 

466
00:24:26,930 --> 00:24:29,450
What's happening with the 
AirDrop cows? 

467
00:24:29,450 --> 00:24:31,930
Do you got a big AirDrop? 
What's going on? 

468
00:24:32,770 --> 00:24:33,770
Who are you? 
Are you? 

469
00:24:33,850 --> 00:24:36,290
I'm not a big you have a share 
of. 

470
00:24:36,290 --> 00:24:37,880
What's your name? 
Wait, what's her name? 

471
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,840
Kathy Woods. 
Your love. 

472
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,680
Is that? 
Is it Kathy Woods? 

473
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,680
Wait, are you okay? 
But if Kathy Woods or Harry 

474
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,880
Potter was on friend tech, how 
much? 

475
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,360
How much would you just go all 
in? 

476
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,520
You have to choose who shared 
friend. 

477
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,480
Tech's interesting. 
I think the incentives are wrong

478
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,140
like. 
But rather than a running 

479
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:06,180
payment to be a member of let's 
just say an alpha group, I pay 

480
00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:09,580
you like $3 a month or 30 bucks 
a month or 300 bucks a month or 

481
00:25:09,580 --> 00:25:12,180
whatever. 
Because I think your alpha is 

482
00:25:12,180 --> 00:25:16,180
good if we're sports betting or 
whatever, whereas this one, it's

483
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:19,500
all front loaded. 
So there's no incentive to like 

484
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:22,140
keep the alpha coming. 
And I find that very 

485
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,940
interesting. 
I also find it interesting that 

486
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:28,060
all of the numbers about like 
the great performance of this 

487
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:32,320
kind of protocol. 
Focused on TVL which is like 

488
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,880
that's just because the top 
accounts have gone up in price. 

489
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,800
I don't know if that's is that 
because users have increased, 

490
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:42,520
number of trades have been going
up and prices have been going 

491
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,120
up, but those are the only two 
metrics that have been put out, 

492
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,280
which to me says that's true. 
Which to me that says users 

493
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,520
might not be going up at the 
same rate. 

494
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,080
So the first thing I would say 
against what you said is it, I 

495
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,610
agree with you mean like it's 
weird in that unique churn like 

496
00:25:59,690 --> 00:26:02,650
you need like people to set, buy
and sell shares to make money, 

497
00:26:02,850 --> 00:26:05,930
but people you can't just buy a 
share without somebody selling 

498
00:26:05,930 --> 00:26:07,730
it. 
So like, it's not. 

499
00:26:07,730 --> 00:26:09,410
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
You can do it that way. 

500
00:26:09,450 --> 00:26:12,570
So like people have got hundreds
of holders for example, and if 

501
00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:16,010
the platform grows to thousands 
of users then it does it can 

502
00:26:16,010 --> 00:26:19,090
naturally just grow to meet the 
new demand at the same time. 

503
00:26:19,090 --> 00:26:22,650
So I think it's not totally 
front loaded, but I do see what 

504
00:26:22,650 --> 00:26:25,250
your point is like. 
There is an incentive also to if

505
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:27,370
no one set buys themselves your 
shares, like again, you don't 

506
00:26:27,370 --> 00:26:32,490
really have the incentive to 
provide, yeah, two valid points.

507
00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:34,970
Again, nothing is perfect. 
I I think it would be 

508
00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:37,050
interesting to see. 
I think they will tweak this 

509
00:26:37,050 --> 00:26:38,690
with time. 
It's also very expensive to get 

510
00:26:38,690 --> 00:26:42,410
in and out of shares. 
So again, without an AirDrop, I 

511
00:26:42,410 --> 00:26:45,370
feel like people will be far 
less likely to to do this sort 

512
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:48,290
of stuff. 
But a centralized platform for 

513
00:26:48,490 --> 00:26:51,370
for these sort of smaller groups
I think I think can can be 

514
00:26:51,370 --> 00:26:53,370
successful and there's a lot of 
hate for it. 

515
00:26:53,450 --> 00:26:56,290
But I actually do think that if 
you're providing the right 

516
00:26:56,290 --> 00:26:58,880
content, people will. 
People will pay for it. 

517
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,280
28,000 doesn't it is it is a lot
of beef that they have. 

518
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,160
Yeah. 
Third thing we should talk about

519
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,600
is the nouns fork. 
I don't know if you guys have 

520
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,600
seen this. 
I know, Kelly, you want to talk 

521
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:12,280
about it today, but nouns Dow, 
which is one of the biggest dows

522
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,840
actually in dows, they've got 
thousands of beef. 

523
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,480
I believe it's gone to nouns 
down. 

524
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,240
See how much they have. 
You know it's. 

525
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,800
They are seemingly yeah let me 
share this tab. 30,000 eat 

526
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,160
nearly. 
There is a fork happening right 

527
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,480
now where which has been spoken 
about for a while but you can 

528
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,280
now basically rage quit the Dow 
and take treasury from that from

529
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,480
that sale. 
I believe these nouns are 

530
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,180
trading at like 20 before this 
was announced and that has now 

531
00:27:57,180 --> 00:28:01,060
changed to trading at like the 
fair value of the treasury. 

532
00:28:01,060 --> 00:28:05,460
So they basically now just trade
at where the treasury is every 

533
00:28:05,460 --> 00:28:07,060
single day. 
So people are trading in them at

534
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:11,860
like 3435 E There was a period 
where they traded at a premium. 

535
00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:17,750
I think they traded as hard as 
like 100 E at one stage to where

536
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:20,550
the treasury is now. 
They are basically just trading 

537
00:28:20,630 --> 00:28:23,270
exactly in line with the where 
the treasury is and there's now 

538
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:25,590
a chance you to get out. 
So if you own announced out and 

539
00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:28,190
you're not been happy with 
what's going on announced, you 

540
00:28:28,190 --> 00:28:31,590
can also leave which is just an 
interesting move. 

541
00:28:32,150 --> 00:28:33,070
I don't know if that's a. 
Good. 

542
00:28:33,150 --> 00:28:35,870
Wait, what does that mean? 
What does that mean? 

543
00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:41,270
You could just leave So Dows. 
All Dows really have a have a 

544
00:28:41,710 --> 00:28:43,990
have a way to rage quit, it's 
called or. 

545
00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:47,380
A lot of dows have this concept 
of a rage quit, which is you are

546
00:28:47,380 --> 00:28:51,500
able to leave the Dow with your 
percentage of the treasury. 

547
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:54,860
This is particularly common in 
like investment dows. 

548
00:28:54,860 --> 00:28:59,140
Things like Flamingo, Dow or or 
various other ones like you can 

549
00:28:59,140 --> 00:29:04,900
just leave with your cut. 
The treasury and nouns now have 

550
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:09,380
decided to do this. 
So basically a lot of people who

551
00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:12,340
own nouns or some people who own
nouns, I don't even know. 

552
00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:14,860
I'm not as cleared up with the 
community is, but there was 

553
00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:19,470
definitely like after they 
closed down the discord, after 

554
00:29:19,470 --> 00:29:22,390
they closed around some of the 
centralization aspects of it, 

555
00:29:22,790 --> 00:29:25,750
people were like, well, this 
isn't really working like no 

556
00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:28,230
one's. 
They weren't typically happy 

557
00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:29,830
with what's being done with the 
funds. 

558
00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:33,870
It became more like a charitable
style vehicle I would say. 

559
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:42,150
And the prices of the nouns were
trading at like 20 even though 

560
00:29:42,150 --> 00:29:44,960
they were backed buy more than 
that in the treasury. 

561
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,360
Essentially the average back 
will be around 35. 

562
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,840
Now they're basically saying if 
you're not happy you can leave. 

563
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,880
So people are leaving and 
they're leaving and that's mean 

564
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,200
that the price of the nouns has 
gone back up to 35 because at 

565
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,880
any time you could leave for 
that that level. 

566
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,920
So the risk of being part of 
nouns is kind of tiny I think. 

567
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,040
I think in fact I don't know if 
you agree with this, but like 

568
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,880
they could now trade up to like 
40 or 50 because the risk is 

569
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,300
very very low. 
Now to owning a nouns, cuz 

570
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:16,180
you're it's basically zero, 
right? 

571
00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:17,020
Well, you can't. 
You can just leave at any. 

572
00:30:19,820 --> 00:30:23,220
The fork needs, the fork needs 
20%, right? 

573
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:26,020
This initial fork and then that 
forms another Dow and then you 

574
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:31,660
can grade that down. 
So like or if. 20% of people are

575
00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:33,180
not happy and they just want a 
new Dow. 

576
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:34,580
They don't even want to rage 
quit. 

577
00:30:34,580 --> 00:30:35,820
Then they can fork it and then 
you. 

578
00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:40,340
So you can have multiple noun 
dows doing slightly different 

579
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:42,980
things, some doing charitable 
stuff, some doing commercial 

580
00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:46,420
stuff, some doing whatever 
cultural stuff. 

581
00:30:46,420 --> 00:30:51,100
Which I think is interesting. 
It all stems from the fact I 

582
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:54,140
think it stems from two things. 
The 1st is that they have this 

583
00:30:54,140 --> 00:30:56,460
massive treasury. 
The community votes on what to 

584
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:59,520
do with it. 
It leaves it open to essentially

585
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,000
like some kind of malicious 
attack where somebody, somebody 

586
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,840
owns 51% of the nouns, but there
is a centralized like founder or

587
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,120
noun committee veto. 
So you can have a situation 

588
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,080
where I'm 51%. 
I always say the only proposals 

589
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,560
that get passed are ones where I
pay myself the whole Treasury 

590
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,000
and the that just gets vetoed 
permanently. 

591
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,080
And then to send this so to the 
it's an equilibrium state, but 

592
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,660
it's just pointless. 
I think that was the original 

593
00:31:27,660 --> 00:31:33,260
genesis for this mechanism, and 
personally I think it is. 

594
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:38,540
It's just admitting it's kind of
failed in some way. 

595
00:31:38,740 --> 00:31:41,780
Like you failed to establish 
collective vision, you failed to

596
00:31:42,380 --> 00:31:47,780
create a protocol or where that 
is stable and working towards a 

597
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:49,420
shared vision. 
And it's just a it's just a 

598
00:31:49,420 --> 00:31:52,140
transfer of wealth. 
It's literally a transfer of 

599
00:31:52,140 --> 00:31:55,340
East from people who bought 
their nouns for 100 E. 

600
00:31:55,790 --> 00:31:58,070
The people who bought their 
nouns for like less than the 

601
00:31:58,070 --> 00:32:02,430
current market value of the pro 
after Treasury. 

602
00:32:02,670 --> 00:32:05,230
That's all it is. 
That's a very interesting point.

603
00:32:05,270 --> 00:32:08,070
It's a very, very. 
Like, it's kind of depressing. 

604
00:32:08,150 --> 00:32:09,790
It's kind of depressing. 
It's literally. 

605
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:12,830
I'm like, yeah, I I was just 
listening. 

606
00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:16,110
You're like you failed and I'm 
just like, OK, I've not even 

607
00:32:16,110 --> 00:32:17,950
announced that. 
I hope it's not gonna be like 

608
00:32:17,950 --> 00:32:19,150
that. 
I hope it's not gonna be like 

609
00:32:19,150 --> 00:32:20,310
that. 
I hope you know you have a 

610
00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:23,910
culture dial of a noun, like all
these different dials which are 

611
00:32:23,910 --> 00:32:26,320
furthering. 
Like mission of nouns. 

612
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,440
But it feels like if you have to
rewrite your mission statement 

613
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,560
five different times, it feels 
like the initial mission 

614
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,200
statement may be a failure. 
I don't. 

615
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,480
I don't know. 
So I'm. 

616
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,400
Really got noun style? 
Go ahead, Kels. 

617
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,720
I don't know. 
It just feels like this is kind 

618
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,480
of what a lot of people felt 
like. 

619
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,920
They weren't really sure what it
was meant to be. 

620
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,360
But everyone felt like, well 
with this amount of ease we can 

621
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,160
do a lot of cool things and they
they did do quite a few cool 

622
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,120
things like they've sponsored a 
bunch of different stuff. 

623
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,750
And I think it's very key to 
very key to say like this isn't,

624
00:32:59,030 --> 00:33:02,710
this isn't necessarily like the 
failure for everyone like all 

625
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:08,750
they need is what, 167, they 
need 167 nouns, 20% of the Dow, 

626
00:33:08,830 --> 00:33:13,870
only 20% of the Dow to to to 
form this like separation, which

627
00:33:13,870 --> 00:33:16,910
is quite a low level but maybe 
20% of people don't think it's 

628
00:33:16,910 --> 00:33:19,390
gone right. 
The other the other 80% might be

629
00:33:19,390 --> 00:33:21,070
happy with what's what's been 
going on. 

630
00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:23,500
But like, if you're gonna, if 
you're looking in the worst 

631
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:27,060
possible light, yeah, it's kind 
of it's kind of bad that like 

632
00:33:28,380 --> 00:33:31,540
this DAO just decided that they 
just, you know, it's not really 

633
00:33:31,540 --> 00:33:35,460
working. 
Company successful companies 

634
00:33:35,460 --> 00:33:40,940
don't just dissolve and disperse
100% of your pro router worth. 

635
00:33:40,940 --> 00:33:44,660
That's I don't know, it's just 
funny, but it's a good design to

636
00:33:44,660 --> 00:33:46,700
prevent malicious attacks. 
But then the initial design 

637
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:53,310
wasn't right, so I don't know. 
I don't so could OK reel it back

638
00:33:53,310 --> 00:33:56,310
in one more time for old times 
sake for the explain it like I'm

639
00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:58,470
five situation. 
So let's say I bought a noun 

640
00:33:58,470 --> 00:34:04,790
style for 28th. 
Now the fork is coming. 

641
00:34:04,790 --> 00:34:07,510
Chat says one spoon. 
I don't know let's get to the 

642
00:34:07,510 --> 00:34:12,550
fork. 
So 28th is this bullish bearish.

643
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:14,630
Now this announcement like you 
could you could leave. 

644
00:34:14,630 --> 00:34:16,510
What does that mean? 
Like how does it? 

645
00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:18,870
What is happening now with my 
20th? 

646
00:34:19,620 --> 00:34:24,179
So I get my money back. 
Guaranteed 28th back if you had 

647
00:34:24,179 --> 00:34:27,020
bought it for 28th. 
That's the question right now. 

648
00:34:27,020 --> 00:34:30,659
You cannot buy a noun for 28th. 
They are now trading at 35 eve, 

649
00:34:31,139 --> 00:34:33,900
so the trading. 
Let's say I bought it at 20 Eve.

650
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:36,580
Yeah, so now you could 
technically be like, right? 

651
00:34:37,020 --> 00:34:42,100
I can form this part of this 20%
of people who want to leave, and

652
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:45,179
when we leave, I'll get 35 Eve. 
For the 28th, I paid. 

653
00:34:45,810 --> 00:34:48,570
The other thing is I don't think
It's not like you burn your 

654
00:34:48,570 --> 00:34:51,010
noun, right? 
You still are a noun, you just 

655
00:34:51,010 --> 00:34:56,090
take the bit of the bit of. 
So This is why I. 

656
00:34:56,610 --> 00:34:58,930
Think so. 
Do you make any profit or you 

657
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:01,130
just take that? 
Yeah, you make. 

658
00:35:01,330 --> 00:35:03,970
I guess if you bought it at 20 
Eve, you have a problem. 

659
00:35:04,210 --> 00:35:07,610
You can make like 15 Eve profit 
here if you bought it at 100. 

660
00:35:08,570 --> 00:35:10,650
There's no there's nothing for 
you to do unless you like, 

661
00:35:10,650 --> 00:35:11,370
really. 
OK. 

662
00:35:11,410 --> 00:35:12,810
So hold on. 
OK. 

663
00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:14,450
OK. 
So you buy it at you bought, you

664
00:35:14,450 --> 00:35:18,610
bought it at 100 E right now 
they're trading at 35 E You get 

665
00:35:18,610 --> 00:35:22,210
35 E back. 
Yeah, if you want to leave 

666
00:35:22,770 --> 00:35:25,010
clear, people might want to do 
that, like before they were 

667
00:35:25,010 --> 00:35:27,490
trading it for. 
There was no way they could get 

668
00:35:27,490 --> 00:35:29,410
out. 
Now if you bought 100 E and you 

669
00:35:29,410 --> 00:35:32,130
were annoyed with what's going 
on in the Dow, you can at least 

670
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,770
leave the 35 and people can be 
maybe happy with that. 

671
00:35:34,770 --> 00:35:38,260
So I'm not saying maybe that 
question is that's a that's a 

672
00:35:38,260 --> 00:35:41,580
sunk cost. 
We would say in in economics 101

673
00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:43,540
you wouldn't. 
That doesn't really matter what 

674
00:35:43,540 --> 00:35:46,180
the future decision. 
But you might decide that you 

675
00:35:46,180 --> 00:35:50,420
want to leave at 35, which I 
think is, which I think some 

676
00:35:50,420 --> 00:35:54,420
people will do. 
But it's more for me, it's more 

677
00:35:54,540 --> 00:35:59,300
sad because I think people had 
people just had big views for 

678
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:03,300
nouns and to see this and to see
that that actually people just 

679
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:06,260
aren't happy with how it's being
run it's it's sad and that 

680
00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:09,350
that's gone that way because I 
think you know radius Dow like 

681
00:36:09,350 --> 00:36:12,110
people trying to make dows work 
and if there are clearly some 

682
00:36:12,790 --> 00:36:15,310
tragedy of the Commons issues 
with dows like people don't have

683
00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:20,310
shared incentives shared. 
I don't know outcomes from what 

684
00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:22,630
happens within dows which are 
very, very difficult to 

685
00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:24,670
overcome. 
Like that's again you can almost

686
00:36:24,670 --> 00:36:26,350
want to want difficult to 
overcome those other things. 

687
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:31,910
But I I also think it's kind of 
bullish that that a Dow can also

688
00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:35,070
decide to do this. 
I don't know like a lot of other

689
00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:38,310
Dows you can't exit like this or
at least haven't gone this 

690
00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:40,110
route. 
Like a lot of the big defy Dow 

691
00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:41,510
for example, you can't just rage
quit. 

692
00:36:41,910 --> 00:36:48,590
So I think it's it's kind of 
good that the Dow has also been 

693
00:36:49,190 --> 00:36:58,230
able to dissolve itself is that 
they are good not doing anything

694
00:36:58,350 --> 00:37:01,270
but also getting themselves out 
of a situation. 

695
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,880
Yeah, they're all aligned. 
In terms of realizing that it's 

696
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,760
gone wrong, that's the only 
alignment right? 

697
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,360
But. 
This is, I'm establishing 

698
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,680
consensus that it's not right. 
But yeah, you're right, that's 

699
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,560
consensus I guess. 
So if you can get out for 35 Es 

700
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,920
right now, or let's say this 
passes, you can get out for 35 

701
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,890
Es would surely a Dow could. 
Surely they could start training

702
00:37:28,890 --> 00:37:31,650
for like 40 or 45. 
It's like maybe you like the 

703
00:37:31,650 --> 00:37:34,450
art, maybe you want to just like
it's it's cool to have an ounce 

704
00:37:34,650 --> 00:37:37,410
PFP that it's the same for half 
the other Pfp's out there. 

705
00:37:37,410 --> 00:37:39,970
Like you don't think people 
would pay like for that extra 

706
00:37:40,450 --> 00:37:42,970
value of like the PFP? 
Yeah. 

707
00:37:43,370 --> 00:37:46,010
I mean, they were trading at 20 
with no cash. 

708
00:37:46,170 --> 00:37:49,530
Now they're trading at, they're 
trading at. 35 cash, yeah. 

709
00:37:49,610 --> 00:37:50,010
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

710
00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:54,360
I guess there's sometimes happen
so I guess yes maybe maybe net 

711
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,920
net makes sense. 
Anyway I don't think there's a 

712
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,680
trade there but it's it's still 
interesting to see nouns 

713
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,120
seemingly is coming to not full 
end because I think people are 

714
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,640
still doing a lot there but it 
is interesting to go that route 

715
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,120
The the the final thing I think 
we were going to talk about 

716
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,000
today was in ship coins Matt 
Fury sold his Pepe. 

717
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,680
I don't know if you saw this, 
but like obviously Pepe the ship

718
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,370
coin I'm involved in, a bunch of
different people are involved in

719
00:38:23,610 --> 00:38:28,210
and it was gifted to him by the 
pond community. 

720
00:38:28,210 --> 00:38:29,330
I don't know if you know that 
community. 

721
00:38:29,330 --> 00:38:37,250
It's run by Pauly and they gave 
him $1,000,000 worth of Pepe and

722
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:42,990
he has. 
He has gone on and sold it and 

723
00:38:42,990 --> 00:38:44,350
serious hit. 
I'm just going to share this 

724
00:38:44,350 --> 00:38:46,910
book on serious hate to talk 
about Matt Fury's and his Pepe 

725
00:38:46,910 --> 00:38:48,750
as if that was a negative event.
The person who created Pepe de 

726
00:38:48,750 --> 00:38:51,390
Frog just a good life changing 
money off the crypto based on 

727
00:38:51,390 --> 00:38:52,990
his work that's incredibles 
happy with him. 

728
00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:54,830
So like there is two sides to 
us. 

729
00:38:54,910 --> 00:38:59,350
He obviously sold it. 
I don't think, I don't think he 

730
00:38:59,350 --> 00:39:01,030
was really involved in the start
of it at all. 

731
00:39:01,430 --> 00:39:05,310
Like I think he asked us several
times on spaces like oh, you 

732
00:39:05,310 --> 00:39:10,530
shouldn't do you want to be part
of this or And he was like, no. 

733
00:39:10,530 --> 00:39:12,450
Like I'm not gonna get involved.
So when they sent it to him, I 

734
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:14,770
think it was just a gift and he 
seemed as monetized that gift. 

735
00:39:14,770 --> 00:39:19,530
But Matt Furos obviously have a 
lot of stuff in the space and I 

736
00:39:19,530 --> 00:39:22,130
think it's I'll get the 
transaction actually here, but 

737
00:39:22,330 --> 00:39:23,970
he made. 
Wait, pause. 

738
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:32,050
Is Pepe a rug? 
Not all of this, but it is. 

739
00:39:33,290 --> 00:39:34,890
A like has it rugged Like, is 
it? 

740
00:39:34,890 --> 00:39:37,250
Is it like ever coming back or 
is it just like? 

741
00:39:37,570 --> 00:39:38,730
Over it. 
It's always going back. 

742
00:39:38,730 --> 00:39:39,570
Happy's the best. 
Best. 

743
00:39:39,570 --> 00:39:40,450
It's always coming back. 
I'm. 

744
00:39:42,450 --> 00:39:44,810
Really gonna be looking at here.
I'm trying to find the 

745
00:39:44,810 --> 00:39:45,850
transaction. 
I'm trying to find the 

746
00:39:45,970 --> 00:39:47,770
transaction. 
Good. 

747
00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:54,010
Someone asked me for it and I 
found it anyway. 

748
00:39:54,010 --> 00:39:55,410
Yeah. 
What did you guys think of that?

749
00:39:58,050 --> 00:40:01,210
I mean, he's an artist. 
Like he probably needs the money

750
00:40:01,210 --> 00:40:03,830
more than. 
A lot of other people in crypto,

751
00:40:05,190 --> 00:40:08,110
although he's done a lot of 
drops now, right like as you 

752
00:40:08,110 --> 00:40:11,070
said, a lot of NFT, he's got a 
lot of Nft's out there. 

753
00:40:11,350 --> 00:40:14,710
But you know lifestyle creep, 
maybe as he's made more money 

754
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:18,030
his life's become more expensive
and he just he needs the extra 

755
00:40:18,030 --> 00:40:19,230
mil. 
Also, he's not. 

756
00:40:20,270 --> 00:40:22,870
When people get gifted something
and it's worth a million, what 

757
00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:26,390
price did he get gifted to that?
I think he got given it at a 

758
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:29,470
million and he seemingly walked 
away with around. 

759
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,520
Looks like about 600 grand. 
So like, he's probably looking 

760
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,240
at that thinking he's not a 
trader. 

761
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,320
He's not a trader. 
He's probably thinking, fuck 

762
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,800
this could you know, I haven't 
got the stomach for this to get 

763
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,200
to 0. 
Like maybe he is a trader, but I

764
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,880
don't think that he is anyway. 
And yeah, my dad is lifestyle. 

765
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,800
Creep think lifestyle. 
He's. 

766
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,720
I think he's made millions like 
if I count up everything he's 

767
00:40:58,720 --> 00:40:59,840
done. 
I think he dogs. 

768
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:03,830
Pegs, heads. 
I think it's in the millions. 

769
00:41:03,830 --> 00:41:05,350
I mean, I think he should have 
been paid that amount. 

770
00:41:05,350 --> 00:41:08,950
Like, Pepe's been a huge 
arguably he's the biggest artist

771
00:41:09,910 --> 00:41:12,470
of Internet culture for many, 
many, many, many years. 

772
00:41:12,510 --> 00:41:15,630
Well, it's interesting. 
He seeded it. 

773
00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:17,990
He seeded it. 
He seeded it, and he did the 

774
00:41:17,990 --> 00:41:21,030
original. 
And he should make millions from

775
00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:22,270
that, there's no doubt about 
that. 

776
00:41:22,510 --> 00:41:27,310
But if he just did it without 
the millions, literally 

777
00:41:27,310 --> 00:41:31,400
millions, of people who have 
created their own bespoke Pepe 

778
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:37,720
image, it would just be an 
unknown cartoon comic strip like

779
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:39,320
it was. 
It wasn't propagated. 

780
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,360
By are you saying this 
individual should make millions 

781
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,080
of dollars for making the Pepe 
100%? 

782
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:52,720
Probably billions, but he's not 
responsible for the propagation 

783
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,440
of me. 
We are all responsible. 

784
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Is this COPE OK? 
Could someone just. 

785
00:41:58,110 --> 00:42:00,430
Because so much is OK. 
Listen, I need financial advice.

786
00:42:00,470 --> 00:42:02,830
It's not financial advice, but I
need financial advice. 

787
00:42:03,030 --> 00:42:05,590
So like what? 
Just what's happening for those 

788
00:42:05,590 --> 00:42:09,710
that like have Pepe like do we 
just do we just chill like this?

789
00:42:10,310 --> 00:42:11,510
This is this is that's 
important. 

790
00:42:11,510 --> 00:42:12,550
I just thought it was 
interesting. 

791
00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:16,510
Like famously. 
I remember when was it 2021 

792
00:42:17,110 --> 00:42:21,190
metallic. 
The creator of EVE, he got given

793
00:42:21,390 --> 00:42:25,950
billions of dollars worth of 
shit the token ship and he ended

794
00:42:25,950 --> 00:42:30,480
up donating it. 
To India and I think they killed

795
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,000
like hundreds of 1,000,000 in 
the end. 

796
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,920
I think ship tanked after you 
then donated it, but like they 

797
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,240
made a lot of money. 
It was to do with India floods 

798
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:42,480
or some sort of India charity 
and that has parallels to this, 

799
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:48,960
like someone gifted, seemingly a
creator, like a, I don't know, 

800
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,160
someone that they wanted to 
respect in the community. 

801
00:42:52,060 --> 00:42:54,900
And then they went and sold it. 
Would you have sold it Cali? 

802
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,420
If someone gave you $1,000,000 
worth of this, and it was, I 

803
00:42:58,460 --> 00:43:00,620
wouldn't any coin. 
Would you have sold it? 

804
00:43:03,260 --> 00:43:05,100
No. 
But you don't know what's going 

805
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:06,540
on as life. 
It could be lifestyle cream, it 

806
00:43:06,540 --> 00:43:08,460
could be going through divorce, 
could want a bigger house, could

807
00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:11,060
want a Lambo. 
We've never been there in 

808
00:43:11,060 --> 00:43:12,900
lifetime. 
I really hope you guys a good 

809
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:14,460
Lambo with this. 
Actually, that would be a really

810
00:43:14,460 --> 00:43:17,670
good art. 
It's like a green Lambo, yeah. 

811
00:43:18,110 --> 00:43:22,310
So just like quick recap though 
is are the people behind Pepe 

812
00:43:22,310 --> 00:43:26,110
cuz like the last I like really 
honestly life has been just 

813
00:43:26,310 --> 00:43:30,670
hidden us with it and the last I
saw was just like a post on X 

814
00:43:30,670 --> 00:43:35,590
about like how like some devs 
stole whatever so did we uncover

815
00:43:35,590 --> 00:43:36,750
few. 
Weeks ago. 

816
00:43:37,470 --> 00:43:40,630
The devs. 
The original devs behind Pepe I 

817
00:43:40,630 --> 00:43:42,770
mean. 
It's a shit coin dev, so it's 

818
00:43:42,770 --> 00:43:46,570
not like it's not like the devs 
of like a D5 protocol, but like 

819
00:43:46,570 --> 00:43:49,370
they after they've announced the
contract a few months later down

820
00:43:49,370 --> 00:43:53,370
the line, they then sold their 
coins, or at least some of them 

821
00:43:53,370 --> 00:43:56,570
got stolen and then sold. 
So that wasn't a good look. 

822
00:43:57,010 --> 00:44:00,170
It wasn't like a happy went down
about. 

823
00:44:00,170 --> 00:44:02,490
So it didn't. 
It didn't rug A. 

824
00:44:03,170 --> 00:44:05,330
Rug. 
Because it's not like it's a 

825
00:44:05,330 --> 00:44:07,010
mean point. 
You know what I mean? 

826
00:44:07,010 --> 00:44:08,610
Like it's not. 
A cat rug. 

827
00:44:08,850 --> 00:44:12,040
It's just it's not real. 
If they run away with your 

828
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,120
money, or if it's a if it's a if
a italic decides to just get out

829
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,040
of all of his Eve, you might be 
like, not great. 

830
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,320
Or if somebody sold, I mean 
what? 

831
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,600
We've had some examples of that 
recently, but yeah, it's it 

832
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,360
doesn't require utility. 
I was really looking at Pepe 

833
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:33,240
like the like like E. 
Yeah, well, hopefully, hopefully

834
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:35,040
you won't because I think 
they're quite different, but 

835
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,720
otherwise. 
I was. 

836
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,720
Then I think we should end on 
some, on some. 

837
00:44:41,290 --> 00:44:44,410
Being bulltards, I think there 
was something that came out 

838
00:44:44,410 --> 00:44:51,450
yesterday which was a Mexican 
billionaire actually with who is

839
00:44:51,610 --> 00:44:58,970
the the star of of the crypto TV
show that is today it's worth 14

840
00:44:58,970 --> 00:45:04,890
billion. 
I now opted. 

841
00:45:06,490 --> 00:45:09,850
I basically. 
Do you love that laugh? 

842
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:16,960
A micro strategy. 
Four or five miners and some oil

843
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:21,560
companies and some gold miners. 
That's it in the liquid part. 

844
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,440
So billionaires, billionaires 
getting into crypto, he thinks 

845
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,120
it's the he thinks it's we're 
gonna see crazy inflation of the

846
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,680
next step. 
You should listen to this 

847
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,960
interview. 
It's actually such good. 

848
00:45:34,710 --> 00:45:36,830
But what the guys worth 14 
billion? 

849
00:45:36,830 --> 00:45:39,590
He's basically put all of his 
liquid money into Bitcoin, 

850
00:45:39,590 --> 00:45:45,870
Bitcoin related investments, 
goals, anything that has says 

851
00:45:45,870 --> 00:45:50,310
host has muted your screen. 
You guys still hear me? 

852
00:45:51,070 --> 00:45:51,990
Yep. 
Weird. 

853
00:45:52,110 --> 00:45:53,950
Something just came up saying 
I've been muted. 

854
00:45:54,230 --> 00:45:56,950
But yeah, just interesting to 
see billionaires getting into 

855
00:45:56,950 --> 00:45:58,070
crypto. 
I think you're gonna see more 

856
00:45:58,070 --> 00:45:59,590
and more of this. 
I'm surprised that we haven't 

857
00:45:59,590 --> 00:46:02,990
seen more billionaires decide 
that they're gonna go into 

858
00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:05,300
crypto. 
Like if you're a billionaire 

859
00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:07,780
right now, Kelly. 
Like, do you not think this is 

860
00:46:07,820 --> 00:46:13,180
what do you mean? 
You could hedge like it's a good

861
00:46:13,180 --> 00:46:16,260
hedge for being a billionaire. 
When you're a billionaire, all 

862
00:46:16,260 --> 00:46:18,820
you care about is staying a 
billionaire, and Bitcoin is the 

863
00:46:18,820 --> 00:46:21,500
biggest protector of that in an 
inflationary environment. 

864
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:28,860
Yeah, I would agree with that. 
If you run some form of debt 

865
00:46:28,860 --> 00:46:32,700
fuels capitalist organization 
like. 

866
00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:36,260
I just feel as though Bitcoin 
is, it should be a more obvious 

867
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:38,340
heads for a lot of these people.
So I think you're gonna see more

868
00:46:38,340 --> 00:46:41,220
of this. 
I saw and I was like, this is 

869
00:46:41,220 --> 00:46:43,740
exactly why I think it should be
owning crypto. 

870
00:46:43,740 --> 00:46:45,620
Decentralized money, 
decentralized value. 

871
00:46:45,620 --> 00:46:47,660
And it got me bullish for the 
weekend. 

872
00:46:48,260 --> 00:46:50,930
Nice. 
I think that's even more true if

873
00:46:50,930 --> 00:46:56,010
you live in like a country or a 
region where you know, inflation

874
00:46:56,010 --> 00:46:59,090
has historically been very 
rampant in like politics is 

875
00:46:59,090 --> 00:47:01,250
unstable, who knows what's going
to happen, et cetera, et cetera,

876
00:47:01,250 --> 00:47:04,250
et cetera. 
With Bitcoin, you're kind of 

877
00:47:04,530 --> 00:47:08,570
insured against that a lot more 
than you are with your money on 

878
00:47:08,570 --> 00:47:12,970
local banks or it's interesting.
I'm always bullish on Bitcoin, 

879
00:47:12,970 --> 00:47:16,250
just not the end state of it. 
They need to fix it. 

880
00:47:16,370 --> 00:47:21,450
They need to fix it. 
OK, look, I think that was it 

881
00:47:21,450 --> 00:47:24,170
for today's show again. 
Like, I thought it was a good 

882
00:47:24,170 --> 00:47:26,650
show, good week. 
It's been great having you. 

883
00:47:26,810 --> 00:47:28,850
Like I said, Farokh is not here 
next week. 

884
00:47:29,050 --> 00:47:30,930
So you guys are both more than 
welcome. 

885
00:47:31,090 --> 00:47:35,290
Like, come on, any day. 
OSF doesn't say a word, so it's 

886
00:47:35,290 --> 00:47:38,890
basically just gonna be me. 
I don't know if I could do this.

887
00:47:39,130 --> 00:47:41,210
I'm taught. 
It's just like I got so much 

888
00:47:41,250 --> 00:47:43,770
look at look at all these notes.
I got all. 

889
00:47:44,450 --> 00:47:50,210
Stuff that I'm like, I don't 
know, cows maybe, I don't know 

890
00:47:50,210 --> 00:47:52,690
maybe. 
Well, me and cows are gonna do. 

891
00:47:52,930 --> 00:47:55,970
We're gonna do rug tank. 
Yeah, we should do rug tank as 

892
00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:56,330
well. 
Maybe. 

893
00:47:56,530 --> 00:47:58,130
Maybe we should do that. 
We'll get some people off on 

894
00:47:58,130 --> 00:47:59,810
stage, push us their worst 
crypto idea. 

895
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:03,570
I'm afraid of cows. 
He's like, I feel like he's 

896
00:48:03,730 --> 00:48:06,530
like, when he was talking about 
the now, I was like, ooh, spicy 

897
00:48:06,530 --> 00:48:08,410
take, like you're really just 
opening up. 

898
00:48:08,410 --> 00:48:10,210
And now I'm just like, I don't 
know. 

899
00:48:10,570 --> 00:48:12,610
Cows are gonna have like, crazy 
takes. 

900
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,600
Ali does have aggressive text. 
He just doesn't pop pop. 

901
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,400
In fact, before he's we, we ran 
himself the cows. 

902
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,640
He was a bit of a troll on on 
Twitter. 

903
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:21,760
That's not true. 
I love that. 

904
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,160
All all tweets now deleted so 
you won't be able to talk 

905
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:27,360
officially through. 
That's kind of Oh my God. 

906
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,120
OK, OK. 
Well, it was, it was super fun. 

907
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,960
I learned a lot from you guys, 
so thank you for having me. 

908
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,840
It was great and like always, 
the good way to start the day. 

909
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,380
Some some good stuff. 
Yeah, yeah, I love it. 

910
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,780
Thanks a lot. 
Thanks everyone in the audience 

911
00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:47,740
for for tuning in for this week.
We've obviously been sponsored 

912
00:48:47,740 --> 00:48:51,100
by Kraken again. kraken.com for 
slash rug radio if you want to 

913
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:54,100

It'll be me, Osef, hopefully 

914
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:57,340
Mika and Cows next week as well.
Farrok said he's going to try 

915
00:48:57,340 --> 00:49:01,380
and turn up maybe a couple of 
the early days depending on what

916
00:49:01,380 --> 00:49:02,660
what he's got going on in 
Singapore. 

917
00:49:02,660 --> 00:49:05,500
But thanks so much for joining 
us and we will see you again 

918
00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:06,620
next week.
