Yo-yo, yo, what up? What up?
Good morning. Good morning, GMG.
Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday, May 24th May two 4th 20244444
You know I keep seeing fours everywhere.
Mando, I got my clothes in the house.
Mando, how you doing today? I'm doing good man, How are you
brother Mario's today so hopefully the audio is OK.
The it's so funny when you say the Marios.
I'll never forget the first days I got my boots on the ground.
I got are you what are you here, Elon?
Boots on the ground, Elon. Elon, please, Elon.
Elon. What?
What are you, Elon? Ah, Mando, you are.
Hammered. You are clearly still hammered.
Let's just let's just get it out there.
Let's just put it out there for clearly hammered this morning
the. Whole like side of my head hurts
like not even like a headache like the whole of my skull, like
the whole of my like the whole of my life.
Like I went to this circle. OK, so here's how what happened.
I woke up yesterday. I went to a circumcision party.
That's why I wasn't at the show. So like, yeah, it's literally so
the Jewish people, you know, my girlfriend's Jewish friend's
Jewish, you know, I do some of the stuff.
Anyways, I went to something that they call it Brits.
You know me, me. I remember when I got
circumcised, I was four days old at the hospital.
They snipped me done. Didn't throw a fucking party.
But the Jewish people, they like to throw a party.
I'm, I'm, I'm all for it. So I went to a Brit Miller, you
know, at like 8:00 AM. So this is where my day started
and and it was downhill from there.
It's because of the baby, because of the circumcision, you
know. It's just down.
Just just just didn't want to be there through the screens, so
you just got to have it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's exactly what happened. No, no, You know, we went out
last night in Montreal. I'm rarely home and I have like
3 friends in town and we went to see them and here we are.
But so I was going to go home at 1:00.
I didn't expect go home at 4:00. But here we are 444.
See, am I worrying? See, see the, the, the downside
of this thing, right? Actually, I know you wear one.
I actually really like it. The downside of it is when you
go out, just leave it at home and don't wear it until next
day. Because it said that my sleep
score is 43. I got used to an optimal 9480.
More after I got it because you just realized that your recovery
is so bad. Yeah, like the recovery, even
the even worse, right, It gives, it gives you like 57 recovery.
Like look at this, this, this means you not want to go out at
night like you when you wake up and you see, you see this,
you're like, dude, I am never drinking again.
Like I mean, look at this, I'm never drinking again.
I'm never drinking again. This total sleep 4 hours 43
efficiency 79 though. So that means that 4 hours 43
minutes I put them to work. Restfulness fair.
R.E.M. sleep 8%. What the fuck does that mean?
Associated with dreaming? Memory consolidation?
Man. Does that mean I actually really
slept 23 out minutes? Not right, no.
No, I don't. But you definitely didn't get
much deep sleep, that's the certain.
R.E.M. Sleep 23 minutes.
R.E.M. sleep makes up anywhere between 5 to 50% of your total
sleep time. On average, the optimal amount
for healthy adults starts from 1 1/2 hour.
Oh, my. I am going to.
I'm going to nap after the show. You know what?
Yeah. Loxley.
Loxley's got me covered. This.
That's OK. Anyways, today on the show
today. Today.
You know what? You know what, though?
We're still here. We're still here.
And the show is earlier than before.
Before I used to like, on nights like this, like on mornings,
days you like, kind of like be in bed.
It's like 10:15 now it's like Nope, shows 10 yeah gotta get
up, gotta get up anyways, today's show today, today,
today, today. All right, let's just see what
Sims is not in store for me. Let's see All right, Sims, let's
let's hope. OK, there we go Crypto's going
to zero. I I I go home, I say I actually
did look at the price of Solana. I was like, what?
What how y'all trading like we didn't get an ETF yesterday, so
let's talk about that ETF yesterday, the 19B4 forums
approved blah blah blah blah blah.
We have a lot to talk about on that front Yes.
It was historical actually. That's why I celebrated mando.
You know it started my day started with the circumcision
party and it was like ETF did come on you know I was like that
meme, you know like can't believe I'm living through all
this like this is my life. No, no, no, no, You know I live
in the meme yeah. That was literally me yesterday.
I looked at Vanessa. I remember looking to Vanessa.
I was drunk. I was like babe, we won.
She was like what do you mean babe?
What do you mean? We want I'm like, babe, we got
the ETFs. She was like, fuck yeah, fuck
yeah, You know what I mean? She was like, she was like
giving me like a whole macro report on the map.
How would that matter? Is that what that means for the
future of of of of of of our children anyways?
That and then all its means and dreams.
All its means and dreams. So we have we have scar.
Wait, Scaramucci Solar TF I gotta look at?
I didn't even notice. I didn't see it since God,
that's like in Scarabuchi's soul ETF.
And the title's what? OK, I mean, if we want to start
pumping out a narrative of salon ETF, let's go.
I'm in. I'm very in for that.
That does help me. I'll go.
Did you see Algaran ad yesterday?
Algaran ad that attacked Solana, Bitcoin ad theorem.
Dude, that is crazy, bro that I thought that was funny.
Anyways, I think Gary Gansley was so fucking chill.
I'll go around anyways. Hard coins, I mean meme coins.
Yesterday we got to talk about that.
All streams and dreams. You had Mark Pepe.
I mean, it was Crip Pepe going six point like $6 billion man,
though. All you had to do was buy Pepe
and log out forever and you had and you would have won.
Anyways, we'll talk about that Doge dog.
Rest in peace. We're all gonna have to find
like a a a song or a sound back for that Sims, We have to
observe a minute of silence later during the show for Cabuso
the doge dog. You know, we have to it's just
it's just it's, you know, it's crypto focused show.
And then yeah. And then last but not least,
this show is presented by Muppet to buy crypto with PayPal.
Well, or sell, but it's just buy.
Fuck the sell thing on on the on the ad read download the moon
pay app or and also powered by fair side network.
You know the coverage you need insurance for for for for wallet
for wallet drains scams and all that.
You know what that's funny. We should it says to buy and
sell crypto with PayPal. Dude, what the fuck, Keith, we
got to remove. We're going to remove the sell
button from moon pay. That's what we're going to do.
We're going to remove the sell button until tomorrow.
Tim. This dying of laughter in the
studio is so funny. Anyways, without further ado
Mando, I got to give this out to you before before I drive this
short of the ground.
Yeah, good day, good day. Yesterday at least if you don't
check the price, all the other news is good, right?
We got the ETCF approval. At least we got the 19 four BS
approved you've got, which interestingly, it doesn't mean
that the ETS are going to trade. They're going to trade probably
next month, potentially even in July or August.
You know, Galaxy Digital come out and say they think July or
August. Some people think next month.
But yeah, that was left interesting.
There's a story out about Polymarket because Polymarket
had that. Will EVE get its ETF this month?
They voted that they did, but arguably you could argue that
the ETF hasn't actually happened yet, just the 19 four BS have
been been approved. But bit of a historic day there.
Obviously everyone was seemingly positioned into this.
ETH is up 25% on the week and we had kind of volatile price
action into the news. We then rallied on the news and
then dumped afterwards and that kind of was across the board.
Everything, everything was kind of dumped and continues to dump.
I, I think there's a couple of reasons for that.
Firstly, well, yeah, three reasons.
You already had a bit, a big, a big move here.
So 25% in a week is not a small move for ETH.
Obviously it's had its biggest day in like 3 years.
I think this week is probably the biggest week in, in just
over a year for ETH. So definitely a big move had
already happened and it was quite violent.
Secondly, I would say they're not going to be immediately
trading. So we're going to be talking
about ETFs now in, in a couple of years, sorry, a couple of
months. And I would say finally, there's
obviously still this grayscale. So they have a ton of and I
think people will be aware that that will probably be one of the
first moves. So mixed, mixed response there.
I think immediately the market has now started to look at other
tokens. So in the last 24 hours you had
the Coinbase CLO come out and say he thinks that this ruling
means a bunch of different things can be classed as
security, as commodities. These remember EVE has been
listed as a commodity for this, for this ETF, which is very,
very important. So interestingly.
It also didn't, it bypassed Gary Gensler's vote.
So this was actually voted by a separate area of the SEC.
So he actually didn't even vote on this.
He's been completely bypassed. It feels like in all of this,
he's he's obviously still been vocally against it.
But yeah, just interesting to see that you had, you had
Coinbase immediately relist XRP in the US, You've had Scaramucci
come out and say, I think we're going to get sold ETF next year.
You had Standard Chartered come out in the last 30 minutes with
a report saying they think an XRP and a salon ETF are coming
next year. And then you had Grayscale move
to create trusts around 2 new tokens stacks, which is a
Bitcoin L2 and near which is an L1.
So very, very interesting in that people are starting to
think that this could be, this could be far reaching for a
number of different tokens that we are going down the
commodities route for tokens that Gary's basically been
sidelined here. So that was the that was kind of
the ongoing thing that this could be bullish for all coins,
but we haven't really seen that sort of price action.
So ETH, ETH is now just under 3700.
Bitcoin's still hanging around 67 K.
To be honest, Bitcoin's becoming stable hasn't really it moved
up. It's been just.
Sideways time. Yeah, sideways for the last few
days, Solana. This.
Went down lower. Since March actually did.
Yeah, exactly. And then you had I think for
Bitcoin. For Bitcoin is this is slightly
you know this isn't may be the best scenario you've got that
guy Jack Marlow's go on TV the other day and.
Basically. Say this Oh.
Cringe. Yeah, they basically say that,
you know, there is no second best.
This that is the standard, that is the standard mantra of
Bitcoin Max season, and it now looks like ETH is.
Looks like there is a second best.
Is the second best. It's it is the second.
Best commodity, which has been the main thing that that's been
bashed against ETH this whole time.
What about this? Like why is Solana?
Why is Solana trading like Scaramucci's not talking about
an ETF? What's going on?
I want answers. Well, I mean, it doesn't look
like it doesn't look that bad to me from that job, I'm honest, I
think. Like why are you guys selling
coins? Like who's selling?
Who's selling? Who's I don't like I.
Think a few reasons it's just that this is we've been talking
about eating a new a new, you know, selling point for a year
maybe more like it's gone inflationary.
So ultrasound money was suddenly not really working out.
The security aspects have been questioned because of all the L
twos actually not being necessary and then the ETF was
seemingly moving away from them and it felt like it could
probably be put in the same camp as a lot of other things.
This this really does change the narrative and it changes the
narrative about what will potentially happen on there.
So This is why I thought it was such a big deal two days ago.
So I think Solana now is in the all right.
Well, we got to hope for, you know, it goes down the same to
the path. It's slightly different.
Like Solana will probably have to have some form of a futures
ETF first. That's that's one of the reasons
why the ETF got accepted. It was it was to do with the
correlation between the price of the futures and the spot.
I think we will imminently, imminently see a different firms
try to list a Solana futures ETF because I think they will
recognize that that's the path that it needs to go down.
There was some the final bit of the FTX locked up Solana was
sold I. Believe earlier today.
Wow, the final bit. The final bit was sold.
How much Solana was that total? In the low billions in the but
this was the, this was the final amount.
So I think it was in the hundreds of 1,000,000, but that
was sold for 102. I was the guy last night.
Man, though, you just made me
remember. He was reminiscing with me about
how he bought 30,000, so like $8 and he gambled it all the way
and I was like, what? He's like, don't worry, I also
have a lot more soul. Anyways, it's just crazy how
soul was just $8. Yeah, I just bought Solana $8,
like gamble and soul Casino. I was like, it might not be that
early. I've been the last this morning.
I bought a lot of Solana. Well, I mean, I don't blame you.
I I generally. Like a lot of Pepe as well, but
we could talk. About yeah, dude.
So can we, can we talk? Can we talk about Pepe, please?
Can we spend like, can we, dude, first of all, I'm sick.
Don't ask me how I'm doing. I'm not well, I actually had a
fucking lot of I mean, you did too.
You had a trillion tokens, right?
I had a lot of Pepe. I've I've done good.
I've done great. I'm very happy in life, but
that's crazy. But I gotta say, I put a tweet
out yesterday. If you're not happy about the
Pepe rice, like you're coping, doesn't even matter if you your
sideline, not sideline, dude, this fucking coin is at six $6
billion. Look at that.
Do we think this is, is this the one?
Is this going to $80 billion matter?
Is this the fucking shit coin from our cycle that's going to
do the Dogecoin run to $80 billion?
Is this it? Because if there's one coin,
it's pepper. I put out a tweet yesterday
which is that. Tommy.
Wall Street has not really participated that much in crypto
and the reason why they have not is since the CTF is because they
didn't know what everything was classed as.
Now that everything can be classed as a security and sorry,
as a commodity and particularly meme coins.
We're going to see there was, there was some headlines or
rumours yesterday that Coinbase is going to start a meme coin
basket and Pepe could be included in that.
We're going to start to see this a lot like they're going to
start to, to, to do what they did like in on Wall Street in
the 1980s. They're going to create ETFs,
they're going to create baskets, they're going to create options
and swaps, all this sort of stuff like derivatives like
this. They can really go after
something like this and people don't know how to invest in the
mean coin space, but they want to have exposure.
So the good thing about these like these bigger market cap
coins, particularly the ones on ETH, right?
This is also the reason why MOG I think has been rallying.
But like they, they can very quickly have a path to being
included in those baskets because if ETH is a commodity
and these are mean coins, then you know they're going to be
commodities too. So I think Pepe could go a lot
higher. Like not just, not just like a
2X like I think you could do it could it could, it could
generally go a lot, lot higher. So I think that that was a, and
the price action is telling you that as well.
Like, it, it, it kind of tells you that it's, it's acting like
that. I'm not saying, you know, it
can't have dips, but my my view is that this is very, very big
for these meme points. It's it's the first thing I
bought when I first heard that story.
Because I think suddenly you have a lot of clarity and you
don't have these issues around grayscale dumping on you either.
You don't have yeah, you just don't.
It's a much cleaner ETH beta. I've I've seen your tweets about
like the distribution of meme coins, like how you think, like
it's just, there's no overhang. It's no like the local FTV
conversation, which by the way, what happened to that
conversation? It's like so weak.
It's so one week ago and it is. One weaker, but I think that's
just Pepe. Pepe I genuinely think could
could still be the corner of this cycle, but I do think
that's the case for a lot of memes and Solana memes as well.
Like Solano probably will go down this route as well but
you're seeing. You remember?
This is what a lot of name coin dev dev would say totally.
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Turbo do. You remember Turbo, dude?
Of course I remember Turbo dude, that shit went to like a billion
dollars or something, right? Or like 200 million through
doing Pepe right? Where do you think it is now?
Dead 2. $100 million turbo Any meme coin on Sony is roofing
dude. Yeah.
You're lying. Turbo Toad hit 200 million
overnight. What?
400 million. No, I know.
About mugs I got I I got a big bag of mugs.
So what? Yeah.
Can I bring the chart up on on the show?
It's OK. It's too many liquidity.
Hold on, it's too. I still have a bag of this so
you've just made my fucking dare.
I did not know about this. This is the coin that like
people were beef, remember the beef over like the fucking
influencers and not like there was like these versus Pepe and
fucking and OV. OV was like, remember?
Like the number one holder was the number one.
Holder of this? No, wasn't it was the 1st AI
made by the artist? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. It was the whole yeah, yeah, the
whole like in AI Corner. It was like.
Yeah yeah, the whole pre sale AI is pretty shit.
What do you think about it? You know what though, you're
right when you when you think about it Sims, that fucking pre
sale that nobody participated in made from an artist meta like
that actually was early dude I. It's the only reason we bought
was because of what happened in here previously on this year.
That's it. That the only reason it was
because of this. So Turbo's just casually hit 200
million. It's an EVE meme coin, right?
August does the same. They're all they're all flying
because this changes EVE meme coins like they can suddenly be
commodities again. Turbo I remember was a bit of a
presale. So maybe that's maybe that's a
maybe that's a bit more difficult, but the.
Other homies right now I'm like even howd is like no what the
fuck. No one reads the minutes.
No one reads the fucking minutes.
I did not read the minutes this morning.
No I I woke up 15 minutes before the show.
But hold on I am sure I I have 0 bags in this.
I want the people to know. I just don't care if people
believe it or not but this is like this is wild.
Yeah. This is why When did this?
When did this happen? I mean, I can just look at the
chart May 20, May 20th, the. Moment, the moment the ETF
started getting talked about, right?
Like that was the play I bought Pepe, but you really should have
been buying turbo. Turbo just just absolutely
roost. And so did MOG and all these
like slightly midcap ones. So yeah, big, big, big move
there. And I think this is what we
could see now. Like you could see a lot of a
lot of these things start to get packaged up.
So big, big move in in, in meme coins, ETH still before I've
been outperforming pretty much everything.
You saw a move in Ondo today, which is like the RWA coin.
I do still think, as I said, the meme coins and RWA coins are the
strongest ETH beta plays. I think here on that coming
back. And then for me, I, I feel as
though this is going to be a ton of speculation around Solana
now. And and I think we'll, we will
probably in the next month or two see a futures ETF filing,
send it maybe even in the in the next couple of weeks, some
people will will definitely go for it.
You know what it is though, about these Mendel?
It's the narrative that it drives, right?
Like it's like, oh, we got like the CNBC thing, right?
I went viral the other day because all I did was repost a
video of like the CNBC anchor like talking about Sloan NTF and
like all it is is narrative. It's like, oh, we got Bitcoin.
Oh, ETH was like overruled because like now people are
making their own like, like assumptions, whether it was
political or not, like that's up to people, but like, and now
it's like, oh, what's next? Right.
And you're right. The, The thing is, at the end of
the day, the ETF game is a business.
It's a business to, to Wall Street and it's a business that
makes money. That's all you got to know.
Like that's not even over complicated, right?
I know, like that's all it is, right?
Like these people want ETF because it makes them fucking
money. I I, I, I think, I think we
don't. Have they want, they want money,
but they also want the power. They want the oversight.
Part of it there. It's very, you can see a world
where they're like, well, if we, if we have all the, the Bitcoin
or we have 10% of the Bitcoin owned by USUS Financial.
Institutions then. We have a lot of power.
So I think they're seeing this as like a way basically to have
oversight over crypto. They're buying our bags in the
process. But yeah, long term it doesn't
mean they they probably have more control.
What do you think about that? So yeah, I think that's.
How, how do you feel? Well, I I want to know how you
feel about all this, because you haven't you've been known last
two days. Illusions.
Yeah, I think it's I think, I think you get a it's probably
not amazing long term to have more control.
They'll prob I've I've been saying this for a while, like
with the European regulations as well, like they're trying to
push away from self custody. Yeah, quite, quite strongly.
As in any any a lot of transactions over a certain
level will have to be reported in a certain way.
Every single wallet has to that you receive funds or you send
funds to has got to be identified.
That's in Europe though, but that's that's in Europe, right?
Like yesterday you had this like what you had the pretty big law
like, well, not the law, but like you have the bill passed,
right, The anti the the CBDC surveillance one.
And also like Kansas City, KS, sorry, the state of Oklahoma,
sorry, last week also made it a human right to self custody.
So I guess it depends on where you are.
You're that's more, that is more Europe.
But what I'm basically trying to say is there's going to be more
oversight quite clearly for me here.
It's kind of, I just don't think you can have, have widespread
adoption and not have that. So I think you're going to make
a choice, but I still think there's going to be ways to, you
know, remain pseudonymous or anonymous in crypto and kind of
be off the grid. So I, I like, I like it, but if
you're going to get mainstream adoption, then then it comes
with all these regulations. Like you can't have a bunch of
boomers coming on being like, Hey, we like crypto and not
expect to get tend to have that boomer regulation hats on.
But it's yeah, it's what it's just been crazy to be is it's
just been the the flip in US sentiment, political sentiment
mainly, right. Like it's it's literally it's
Trump saying to a guy in mog glasses, yeah, people like
crypto are like crypto. And now within two weeks we have
seen sweeping changes to US regulation around crypto.
So I, I thought that was, that's been pretty incredible, to be
honest. Yeah, I mean, what a by the way,
like I I it's crazy. Frank D Gods got us the ETFs
right? I know right?
Leaves leavesy gets a lot. Easier.
Did you so did you see what? So the other day I hosted like a
like a random like, you know, I think you were listening right?
Like I just hosted a space for fun.
Like I was so happy like about just all the music.
Let me just open this upper room.
Yeah, and, and you know what, like, and then Frank came on and
he was talking about that like this video is actually
hilarious. I, I hadn't seen the video till
yesterday. Like I I didn't realize they
were talking about until I saw this.
Thank you for the statement. Yeah, with the goggles on.
A lot of the smartest people in crypto are moving their
businesses out of the US because they're kind of like the US
regulations. Because of the hostility,
correct? Yeah, crypto is moving out of
the US because of hostility toward crypto.
Correct. So what are you going to do is
stop it. Well, we'll stop it because I
don't want that. I don't want that.
I want that. If we're going to embrace it, we
have to let them be here. Yes.
Sir, the fucking kid, the fucking digas, leave it the
fret. You know what, this is one of
the times where I actually wanted to buy a digar just
because of that. Like it's like, you know, I mean
Mando because in Seoul, like I went on magic in Seoul, it's
like 30 Seoul now, now like I'm fucking you know, dude.
I thought that was hilarious, man.
What a time would be alive, man. I I feel like I've been spoken
to you in like 10 years when I was like 3 days and we talk
every day. But it's so crazy what's
happening Mando. I know.
The last night was actually only reflecting on life when the ETF
hit like I was like I went on jog yesterday for the first time
in my life. I hated it.
I hated every single step I made.
I I hate jog man. I don't understand how you
motherfuckers jog like I know people go every morning at 6:00
AM fucking joke like 1/2 a marathon like what the fuck like
were you like what? Like I thought I was crazy
deranged train crypto are. You jogging jogging in Montreal
though? No, it's beautiful.
It's actually nice. No, it's 3°C mate.
Yeah, it was a heat blast. It was 35 the other day.
I jogged in 30 Celsius, 85 Fahrenheit Freedom units 85.
Kelly was like, oh what's warm in Canada?
Fuck you Kelly. Oh, we also get a summer.
OK? God damn it.
Actually, I started Kelly in my 2 tournaments, so I need him to
keep tweeting stuff like that. Anyways, Mando, I also noticed
he's been tweeting more. I think I started you in the
common thing. I'm glad dude.
Our card holders really happy. Like you got.
We got to get you tweeting. We got to get you tweeting.
You know we can't. You're two stars.
You're two stars, Mando. I don't even know what that is.
I still have not gone onto the app but.
You are A2 star per like social media personality on on on on on
in in C2. Do you think you're worthy of
two stars? You're 5 star.
You're eight stars in my in my mind, dude man, let's let's
let's look amando, let's look amando hold on recommendo by the
what's up boom pay. I see y'all down there shy moon
pay show part You're 130th. I was like 140 people dude and
you you are the mando minutes. We can't have that.
Oh, you had a nice little. So this is how much you're worth
now, Mando, because, you know, we are commodities in the in the
words of thread guy. In the words of thread guy,
though, and actually like the way he puts it, we're
gladiators. We're in the arena, right?
We're we're modern day gladiators.
We're we're, we're we're creators.
We're out here every day. You know what though, We are
gladiators because it's tough. It's tough.
OK, let's reset. Dude, We, we gotta get you out

those folks that are coming into the space shit.
Anyways, Amanda, what else? What else is going on?
I mean we talked about Pepe, I mean Mog as well.
I mean, what's the play here? I feel like I feel like you know
what, I feel like I texted you in Ovi last.
So you know what guys, 2X good 'cause I saw Ovi's post a poll
right last week saying are you looking for one to 2X2 to 3X
next three to 5X or 10X plus I'm at the stage cycle.
I just need a 2X. But I saw what happened with DTF
and I feel like I won a 10X again.
Like don't you feel like there's this like Invigorate, like even
manually I was like, dude, I'm in five chats with you.
You talk about 10 coins already. I'm hey, I'm back in the
trenches like. This you, you went wild.
You went wild. Yeah, called it.
Yeah, that's a random one, right, Zach?
I don't. Know you know who?
Called it again, like I just with the ducks so much that it
just keeps on going lower. So I I'm just always going to
say the duck for this shit, but we'll see.
I have a question like you know, you're a meme coin dev.
We talked about it at the highs and we got to talk about it at
the lows too. This is fair like how how has it
been? How has your experience been so
far? You're like what, three weeks in
a a month in to begin my meme coin dev.
How's it going? Nearly.
Two. Nearly two, I have to say since
since late last month, it's been tough, man.
We it seems as though like it turns out that and I only found
this out yesterday. I was at unfortunately, I was at
a funeral, but I found out just after that and somebody messaged
me being like, hey, are you friends with someone from
Slough? And I was like, no.
And it turns out like a collective, which is attached to
Slough, they ended up buying like all when when everyone
cheated after Pumped Up Fun, they bought like 10% of Epic and
I had no idea. And they distributed it to all
their wallets. And then they've just been
selling for the last three weeks.
I'm sorry to hear all this time where I'm coming in each day
being like, hey, like, I don't know why this is going lower.
It's because some Slurf guys have been hammering and yeah,
they, they've sold like nearly 100 million tokens, but they've
down to four, four, they're down to four now, 4. 44440 my God,
so. I'm just going to, I'm just
going to keep this going, man. It doesn't really change what
I'm trying to do, but it's it's definitely not been easy.
Oh my God, don't worry, don't worry, dude, I it's OK.
Like it is what it is like dude, it is what it is being being the
in this in this. There's listen.
It's been fun though, like the the space is wild.
Like it's also the attention being heavily on Ethereum which
is why the turbo thing is still fucking with me dude.
Like it's still destroying my brain right now.
Like, I can't believe we missed that, but that's what I'm.
Going for I'm going for a turbo star move.
Love. Keep it alive man, Keep it
alive. The duck to a buck dude, the
duck ducks dude, the duck fox and everything.

Orange Sky Lounge, like the big, big, big one.

They're launching this really cool NFT marketplace day.
And so and you know what? I actually respect people trying
to trying to launch an NFT marketplace in this market.
Mando, you know, I definitely I definitely, I definitely did
something that I respect, especially in a in a time like
this. Sorry, my voice.
Oh my God, dude, Jesus Christ. All right, it's launching today,
all right, and check him out. It's an upcoming gaming fight,
NFT marketplace, and you're going to have a bunch of stuff,
rewards, vision. There's really, really cool
stuff going on for them. So check him out.
That's something I want to pay attention to.
That's coming out today. What else do we have happening
today, Mando? This Algorand effort, we should
watch that. Yeah, yeah.
So I wanted to bring that up. So Algorand, so Jen, actually
Jen, our creative director here on this is Rug Radio.
She brought it up yesterday on the timeline in the chat.
Where's the where's the ad? Where is where is it?
Jen, Jen, Jen. She sent it to us in the team
chat yesterday. I'm trying to find it.
He was typing algorando. Oh, I want to play two ads for
you guys. That and the the Vanek ETTF ad
dude, that one, that one like dude, that one OK, let's play
it. Let's play the let's play the
Algorand ad first. OK, let's.
Hey, morning. Hey.
You guys take Bitcoin rack? Sure do.
I'm going to be paying with Ethereum if that's OK.
OK, yeah, no problems. Good thing I'm paying with
Solana. Go ahead and tap.
And there we go. Oh, it it failed.
Try it again. Oh, you're smart.
It looks like it's going to be another 27 minutes before this
transaction clears. What?
Sorry, $112, I have like three things.
Ethereum, they got that peak hour gas thing, maybe one more
time. What are you going to do?
Just wait right here without the bag?
Without the bag. I think it's going to work.
Nope, should have shot without. Grandma.
Yeah, yeah. How do we get in that line?
Remember when we saw Scaramucci in Davos?
Dude, what do you what do you think of that ad?
I think it's, I think it's a I think, I think I don't know.
I don't know what I'm, I'm what I make of this ad.
I mean it's. I didn't want to go out there.
I didn't want to go out there and buy.
Yeah, I didn't want to buy Algorand, but I just thought it
was hilarious that you actually have ads like this now, like.
I mean if your chart. Looks like this.
Yeah, I mean, it is if your, if your chart looks like this
probably shouldn't be making like fun of like Bitcoin
slaughter in theory, like you know what I mean?
Like shout out to you know, there's some folks from the
Algorand Foundation that I met a consensus last year to cool
folks. But like an ad like that, I
think it's fucking cringe as fuck.
Like I, I, I'll tell you what I like that is great.
But like the reason why it's cringe is I hate like crypto and
crypto crime. Like it's like I find it cringe.
You know what I mean? Like I find super cringe, like
the Bitcoin Maxis, like talks about the ETF as someone who
loves Bitcoin. Find cringe with ETF folks make
fun of Solana folks who like trying to run narratives against
Solana. Super cringe.
Like also bankless does and MERT calls out.
I find super cringe also in Solana folks trying to like make
narratives around like Bitcoin and ETH like super cringe.
So I find it. I do find it cringe when when
when when a corners down 95% is making fun of the other ones.
But the ad is great. The ad is really good.
I mean what, what do you think? You don't think it's?
You don't think Krypton on crypto crime is cringe?
Yeah. I mean, they've got to do
something, right? Like who uses algorithm, But I
don't know. I like it.
I liked it, Yeah. I thought it was funny, made me
laugh. Probably true about other more,
but it's I just did. I just can't believe that you're
going to get ads like that in the US Like just seems well,
like we've got come a long way. That's all I thought.
Let's revisit the other ad actually, you know, like
Coinbase like kind of front run the whole ad narrative, right.
They've been running fire ads and then and then crack actually
did a really good at her on crypto.
This, this Vanek, Could it be the fuel to a less centralized
open source economy? Could it be a future with
peer-to-peer marketplaces, payments and no middleman fees?
Could it be that art escapes its frame and music claims its own
keys? What could Ethereum be?
That's up to you and me. Enter the ether.
Let your mind roam free. Enter the ether.
Let your mind roam free. I mean, Mando, is your mind
roaming Because my mind, my mind.
Me, brother, my I love Vanek. I we don't I I read this is
like, come on, hit me, hit us up.
Dude. This work.
I want, I want the I want this show to say sponsored by Vanek.
I love what they're doing. What do you think of this act?
Yeah, I like the first one more this one.
This one was cool, but but it didn't make me laugh.
Are. You OK?
Are you Long Al Gran right now? What?
What's the story here? What's the story?
I just the worst one made me laugh.
That one made me look like we were selling a cult.
I don't know. We are a cult.
OK, so let's have this conversation.
Clearly you want to have it like what?
What's my problem with Al Gran? I don't care about the ground I.
Don't care about the ground. Genuinely I'm like I barely even
thought about it once. I just like the ad.
Actually, the ad, the ad was great.
The the ad that I was the ad was really good.
The the crypto ads are getting really, really fucking good.
I feel like we need to make a cool ad for fun.
You know, Sims, not that you're busy enough, but I think you
should get busier and let's let's create a fun ad for
crypto. Let's like make our own ad out
of all the content we have. Like a funny ad.
Like it's very serious funny. What coin?
Are you going to start pushing? No, like, like about like, just
about the like. Funny.
I don't know. Let's make an ad for Pepe or
something. This is Pepe's safe.
Pepe's save $6 billion token, $6 billion token.
