Yo-yo, yo-yo, yo, what up? What up?
Good morning, Good morning G MG EH, Monday up or wrecked over
at? October.
It's October now. I'm done.
I'm. It's just October again.
I'm I'm just, I'm tired of it. This morning was too much.
You know, up direct over October.
Let's. OK, fine.
October 16th, 2023. Look at that.
Another beautiful day to have a beautiful day.
I got my coast in the house. Ovi.
What a what a morning. How you doing today?
I'm good man, your your camera is looking good.
You got the I'm just back on the Logitech because.
You're on the Logitech. It looks better than it usually
does, so the last six weeks. OK.
Yeah. Yeah, like bad lighting.
I guess I'm back on logy at home with like my.
Product lighting. Yeah, my my shit is still
broken. But guess what our lens is sold
out in Switzerland and England and it was sold out here.
So I'm. I'm still trying to find the
land and so I didn't have it in Europe.
But you know, I'll, I'll get this sorted.
Wait, I hope I didn't lose my camera.
I know that I've come to think about it.
I couldn't. I didn't unpack my camera
anyways, so that's what it is. I'm finally back home though.
And you're right, it does look better like this.
I just wish it could be zoomed in a little more.
But you know how it is with that with the Logies out here.
But let me tell you something. There is no better feeling than
the feeling of being at your own desk.
Yeah, that's. Well, it's like being in your
own bed, isn't it? Yes, exactly.
Your own bed is like goaded. But though, like sometimes, you
know, like a good hotel bed, like you know something.
I don't have size here, you know, like sometimes you go to
hotel like nice little like king size action, those are fire.
But but for me, like as soon as I sat down here and I
reconnected my Rd, my computer, I got my two monitors going.
I was like, OK, like, you know, for me, like, because this is
where I operate like at least 10 to 12 hours a day, right?
So it's like. Yeah, you want your ship there.
The main thing is the screens. It's so much better having like
actual screens rather than a laptop screen.
I just don't. I just can't do a plain laptop
screen to be especially for the show, like running the show
with. How else can I?
Switch off and look at other shit.
Ohh you for you, for me, For me it's important because like
that's I usually like have my topics on my on my shit there
and then like my like this screen is just for the show
right now. So it's like I can just like
screen share blah blah. But it was a hassle.
But listen, we made it happen. We're so back.
We are very back, you know? And yeah, a lot of stuff
happened in over the weekend, but especially this morning.
It was very a very intense morning.
Mendes on the way now, but today on the show today to day one, we
were so back two, but we aren't thanks to Cointelegraph.
Michelin for the Explorer 3 drop will join us for five quick
minutes. They already have their space
coming, so they're just gonna come in 5 minutes talk about it
and then and and then go back to their space and NFT.
We saw some movements on flooring protocol over the
weekend, The Gutter Cat Gang Pump.
We saw some zombie sales, the one and one bit I believe.
And as usual on Mondays we'll have Stubbs artist Brian Tubes
Starboy coming today at the end of the show to talk about the
beautiful artwork that he has created for this week's stuff.
So anyways, with that for to do where they talk about the market
here, Ovi, give us a TLDR Listen, we'll get to TL to the
Telegraph and the hold debacle as soon as a Michelin is off.
They're coming like 7 minutes, but how's the market doing?
Or the market strong, strong across everything today.
So equities are up today. We're up one. .1% on the S&P 500
up 1.3% on NASDAQ. Interest rates are doing OK.
They they are a bit high today. They're a bit higher from
Friday, so just something to keep in mind there.
But stocks are strong. We are heading into earnings
season now, so just watch out for some of the big tech
earnings over the next few days and weeks.
And crypto is strong too. I mean forget even before the
coin Telegraph then we had a lot of Bitcoin strength over the
weekend and coming in this morning Bitcoin was just below
28. Ki think we're above it now but
it is a Bitcoin LED rally. Like Bitcoin Bitcoin is down to
0.057, Bitcoin dominance up to 51.4% and we started to see a
lot of that strength over the weekend.
So this all happened Pretty coin Telegraph headline, obviously
something we haven't covered yet.
On the show on Friday, we. It was confirmed that the SEC
would not appeal the court ruling over the grayscale
decision. So that was a small positive,
but we just saw what we expected really.
We saw a quick bounce and a quick sell off and then moving
on. But it seems like there's some
kind of like Bitcoin catch up rally over the weekend that's
coming through today again, all pre coin Telegraph.
Yeah. I mean, the market seems to have
been doing well before that. Happens the headline What?
What was the head? The headline was tight.
So if you go to my profile hold, let me send it to you, I put it.
I missed it completely. I just saw everything.
You missed. You missed the whole fucking it,
says the headline. Here let me show my screen
headline was this uh breaking SEC approves I shares and then
guess what though No sorry sorry that was not the headline our
faces you know Sam's remove the topic on the side real quick.
There we go. The the top that the bottom one
was that was the one they put was breaking SEC approves.
I shares Bitcoin ETF then they edited it 35 minutes ago and
added reportedly as if they weren't the ones that reported
on it. Ohh when they deleted it.
Bad guys. Coin Telegraph Hang a hasn't
shame. And then ohh, there's an
apology. Hold on, there's an apology.
We apologise for a tweet that led to the dissemination of
inaccurate information regarding the Black Rock Bitcoin ETF, an
internal investigation currently underway.
We're committed to the transparency and we'll share the
findings of the investigation with the public once it is
concluded within three hours. It's pretty, uh, pretty legit.
It's pretty legit. Right.
My wrong choice of words there, maybe.
But yeah, I'm just confused Why, like, they edited the tweet
before deleting it. And if they were so, like, they
thought that it was so wrong of them to do that.
Like, this makes no sense. Like this is like a bullshit
apology. Like this is just something like
trying to sweep it under the rug, you know?
It's just so absurd to me. I don't know.
It looks like it was tweeted by Nate Chastain.
You know what's crazy, though? Like this is like immensely
worse than what Nate did. Yeah, this is pretty bad.
This is so bad, whoever. Someone's getting fired.
I mean really on nifty Portal they were full on like naming
the person that was like the coin Telegraph, like head head
of like Twitter or whatever, like social media.
I don't want to do that because like, I don't want people like
going crazy on him. But they were like going at it
like fully. And it was, it was this is
crazy. I mean, what happened is so
crazy. One of you's notifications.
Are on. Yeah, that's me.
I think it's so absurd. Yeah, maybe it's so absurd.
Which just happen like that Wick to let me pull it up again.
I mean, that wig was just out of the way.
I got out of the work pretty beautifully, actually.
I was in lights and know what the hell happened.
How did you even catch that without looking at, without
looking at the how, without knowing what happened?
Because I was just like, what the whatever it is, this is just
gone too far. Ohh.
Cause you're at lunch, right? That's what you're saying.
And I'm like, why? Dude, look at this wig.
Like look at the Hour Candle right there.
So I was like, whatever it is, it's just too much.
I have a question, Why does crypto always top or bottom at
perfect numbers? Like right here, The Perfect
Lily topped at 30,000 point O. This feels so fucking
manipulated. Can I please?
I've been wanting to ask this for a long time but never wanna.
I don't wanna act like feel stupid but like now I'm asking
it. It's all the time the same
thing. Like it's always perfect
amounts. Is there a reason for that?
Whether it's. Whether it yeah manipulation
30,000.00 the exact not here, not on Binance.
Ohh I I got out of it higher on on roll, but for sure.
Ohh wow that's wild. Why did it go on over there?
I'm trying to find it 30 point Robert went to 30.5.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I know psychological.
That's where a lot of the pain points are in often options
markets or futures markets, so. Yeah, people.
Just. People often put their like
their stops around those sort of levels.
There was like, a real reason why that shit happens.
Man, some people must like some shorts.
Must have just got, like proper. That was long, actually, but I
got obliterated. It's funny you see all these
like CT alliterated. Because I went long at 28
something. As soon as I saw I was 7 minutes
behind. So I saw all these text in the
group chat. He was like, oh shit, I got
approved. I was like, fuck it, I'm aping a
first research later and I and I went bang, bang, bang, and I
went like berserk and I just like lost 50%.
So that sucked. But I don't think I'm the only
one here, So I don't feel like it feels horrible, like it
sucks, but I feel like, I don't know, we're we're not, This is
not gonna be just the end of this just now.
Like what happened just now is just absurd.
It's so unprofessional. It's crazy.
You're a long time hold. Ohh exactly.
You went from being you. You went from being a what is
it? You're you're.
You turn your If you hold long enough, you turn your, you find,
you turn, you become a long term holder or whatever it is.
What's the quote? Yeah.
If you turn from your time from a short term trader to a long
term holder, exactly, exactly. That's what it is, Matt.
It it's just, it's just one of those days where it's like
beyond your control and like there's nothing you can do about
it. What do we think happens next?
I mean we're talking about market.
I know Michelin is meant to join us now though for like 5
minutes, but in the meantime they're coming like what do you
thinks happened now like we saw some obviously like I think we
bounced back down to 27. If I go on 15 minutes here, we
bounce back down to 27, seven and then start rallying again to
22. My question to you guys actually
is, if this is what happened on a fake news by one outlet, what
happens when the real news comes out?
Yeah, I think. I think the reason, that's the
reason why we've bounced. I think people have got a taste
of. What it might look like and
after Friday, the probability of the accepting it is higher.
There's a lot higher in my opinion.
The timing of it, I don't know. I sort of think the timing of it
personally will be in January. Which is Kathy Woods ETF ARC.
But yeah, like, I think people are kind of realising that the
next headline for crypto is probably a +1 and -1 steps.
Absurd that, do you think, though?
They aren't gonna prove anything until until January.
That's that's my view. Genzel literally waited until
12:00 PM on the final day. So not appeal against grayscale
like there's no way he's early approving any of these ETFs.
So I think we're waiting until January.
That's the last possible day he can wait wait until.
But I think I think it's going to get approved.
I think, I think it's it's now they didn't appeal.
Grayscale, he's not just going to pull up another reason to to
block it out of his arse. So I think, I think it's
definitely going to happen. I think Bitcoin to keep on
outperforming like the other reasons on Bitcoin right now is
just the world is is becoming a more uncertain place.
Gold if you didn't see last week, gold rallied about 6% in a
week. And during that same time,
crypto was kind of down. So there was a lot to catch up
for in that narrative. And I think that's what's
happened this morning. So I wouldn't be surprised if
Bitcoin keeps that performing here.
But yeah, I I think this is. This is one of these things
where narratives are important and um, on a really bad down
day, let's say let's say Bitcoin was to go like 25 K and we're
heading into the start of December or let's say end of
November, Everyone's going to be like it's 40 days.
It's only 90 days until the approval.
But like when that starts getting down to 40 days, 30
days, 20 days, people are going to firm up, they're going to
former, I'm telling you right now.
So I think December is going to be a very, very strong.
For crypto. Or at least it will retrace
whatever move it does and it will go higher.
Um. And that's mainly a Bitcoin
narrative as well. So I think you can be frustrated
here and people are being frustrated in some of the old
coins. But I don't think it's something
to fade until after January. OK that's fair.
We'll see what happens on that front.
I agree with January. Sorry.
I'm just like going through all the responses on the coin
Telegraph apology message and it's just it's just wild.
Someone posted that the deck to their like to they're like to
the tweets that you can buy and shit.
Do you guys think someone like bought a tweet from them and
posted this? Surely not, right?
It's funny because you can see all the you see all the CT
traders who are short who are just like really pissed off now.
So I'll probably get liquidated. Probably he was the intern.
That's so funny. Look at this one.
What was it? It's or is it?
It was Luke Martin. I just posted it.
I just I just lost that one. He was hope.
It was prepaid for so crazy. This is so funny, but like, how
do they know this investigation is gonna last three hours?
We will know the outcome in three hours.
Like, honestly, I would have just played the card of like, we
got hacked and played shit, you know?
I mean, like, I don't know this. Is, Yeah, but they probably know
that. I mean, you know what?
Happened. They just need 3 hours to
formulate a response. Yeah, $65 million of Bitcoin
liquidated within minutes. This is alright.
I wanna I want. 65 Five million Bitcoin liquidated within
minutes following fake reports that Black Rock Support Bitcoin
ETF was approved. Anything big buying of spot
Bitcoin before the headline though?
Like talking about it? Yeah.
Yeah, they've been big buying spot Bitcoin, which is a big
deal because most of the trading for the last few months has been
in futures. It's been people trading perhaps
and that sort of stuff. But this morning you saw big,
big bars of spot Bitcoin and that took funding negative
across the board. So there was real buying this
morning. This isn't just some like pump,
somebody came in this morning and bought a lot of Bitcoin
spot. So I do think that that this
isn't something that we're just going to go back down again like
there was real demand. This.
I don't think this was like manipulation.
No, it's true. I mean you.
Yes, we're talking. I remember waking up and you
guys were both already talking about how like the markets like
really strong this morning. It's just like that happened
after that. I wanna get back to that in a
second and get some more thoughts on everything that
happened with Telegraph. Just quickly we are joined by
former boys here. See you at Nifty La Infinity
Lab. Sorry, you are helping Michelin
with their entry into Web 3 and you guys have an ongoing spaces
going on right now. What's up man?
How you doing? Yo-yo, yo.
What's up everyone? Thank you Farah for receiving
me. Super excited right now.
Super stressed too. Learning about 10 minutes bro.
The space. It's crazy we had we have like
500 plus people with a lot of different partners.
So super excited to be here mate.
Thank you for the invites. Should I, should I just like go
and and do a quick overview or? Yeah, I think I know you guys
are busy, have your own space going on.
Once you give a quick overview of what's happening, I mean I
think it's pretty cool that Michelin is getting onto the
space and I don't think you guys are selling US tyres today, so.
Wow. I mean, maybe in the future.
You never know bro. Maybe in the future, yeah, a
little tyre change on in the Metaverse.
But tell tell us quickly like, what would you guys do?
So you guys partners with Meme Land.
I know you guys partner with a bunch of other projects on Web
Three. I hear you.
We may have some cool stuff on the way as well.
So you can just give us a TLDR here before you go.
Let's go, let's go. I will just do a quick overview.
I just said so many things happen, so I think everyone
knows me. Seen as a tyre brand, maybe not
everyone knows that there are also behind their mission guide
sometimes. That people don't make the link,
but it is the same entity. So they they are coming to Web 3
pretty much because they've always been pushing people to
you know experience new thing and I think that's what they
want to provide. So what you can expect, expect
from machine if you join is pretty much exclusive
experiences that they will provide with all their different
partners. So it can be VIP experiences for
motorsport events, Moto GP's across the world, 24 Hours of
Lemons, a lot of different races where you could be invited. 8020
copter tour made the team made the pilot sees the strategy of
the race. It could be also invite to start
restaurants for two people across the globe meet the chief
maybe some cooking lesson with some chief.
So possibilities are pretty much endless.
It's just a question of you know setting up things and and some
take a bit more time, but we do have a lot of different, I don't
want to say utilities, but more advantages and and experiences
to leave us to to live with us and then like we're working of
course. So many different things.
I think the the one that is really interesting is the
mission get the Web 3 Explorer guide that is pretty much the
Web 3 version of the Michelin Guide, but it's Co created with
our community and our partners and probably with radio Two if I
may, if I may say. And so the the Web 3 for a guide
is pretty much a safe place for everyone that we're trying to
build where we will reference and list all the best projects,
tools, marketplace where we know it's safe.
And legit. And you know, I think it's it's
a hard place in what 3. So it's good to have some legit
institution behind something like this.
And then it will be, of course created with everyone, because
the committee will be able to vote, our partners will be able
to vote too. So that's what we're trying to
build here and of course as you said, we're building a lot of
different partnerships. So we just announced that we'll
have some threat in our collection from Gojira, from Mad
Lads, so from a genuine and there also.
And the Mainland collaboration, we just announced it, I think an
hour ago. That was the biggest of the day.
I cannot develop too much on this.
But in the following weeks, we'll definitely do more
announcement. We just wanted to, you know,
make the announcement today of the collaboration because it's a
big, big news and just to say, OK, it's legit, we're going to
move on this. But yeah, I mean a lot of
things, mate. I'm, I'm hyped up right now.
Of course. No, listen, that's really cool.
I mean phase one is the allow list, right?
I'm, I'm sharing on the screen right now.
So that's today. Yes, today.
So phase phase one whitelist yeah one minute per person.
Then phase two is hello list 2 main per person and then public
OK and main price 0.05. So I like that.
That's fair. Price, price, I think it's
pretty good. It's a small supply too.
Looks like you guys have been doing this for a minute.
I know you guys have been. We chatted months ago, so I know
this has been months making listen, I like the idea.
I like our Web 3 Michelin Guide and.
And I like, you know, the idea of like, you know, obviously
giving people access to different things that you guys
doing, especially limo and everything.
Food. I know, I know.
A lot of people like free food, so.
For sure. So thank you for coming, man.
And I'll try and pop by your space after we're done, of
course. Let's go and thank you the Rock
Radio family. Enjoy your space.
Thank you for Rock and the whole team for your help and I will
see you later. Thank you guys.
Alright, have a good one. Ciao.
Yeah, there you go dude. The brands are still getting
into the space, you know? The NFT NFT's are not dead, you
know. I think it's pretty cool though.
You know big brand commenced shipment.
I'm. I'm all about it.
Hopefully we make it to the Web 3 guide.
You know we get like a imagine. What do you think like Rodrigo
should get like a Michelin star or something like is that how
that be cool red guy like you know put like a Little Miss.
Is that how they're gonna rate it, You think like mission
stars? Like we got 0.
Yeah. Teams should be that you get 0.
Yeah, part of NFT. 'S yeah it should be the dive
bar FT exactly that's exactly. Anyways so back to the back to
what's happening with Coin Telegraph.
So obviously the Black Rock ETF is not approved.
That was we had people from Bloomberg, people were from a
bunch of different or news organisation, you know,
confirmed that the news was fake.
So I mean, dude. It's pretty ironic, isn't it?
Because like the reason they were blocking it because it was
because of market manipulation. Well, that's a good point that.
So here's the thing, right? I wanted to bring, I wanted to
bring this tweet up by Keyboard Monkey, right?
And I think it's really good. So, he says.
One of the gripes the SEC had against BTC ETF approval was the
potential ease of manipulation within the crypto markets.
Today, definitely telegraphing a step back in.
Any positive investments that had been made, By the way,
keyboard. That's a great play on words
here. What are your thoughts here?
And this makes us look so stupid.
It's so bad I I can't start begging.
I think it's so, so bad. It's pretty bad, yeah.
I mean. On the one hand, it's could be
manipulation. On the other hand, someone could
just make a really dumb mistake. And this mistake could happen in
any financial markets like. I remember when I was trading
Imagine Markets, there was like a headline that came out from
like the Angola Prime Minister that was like we're
restructuring and people like the bonds dropped from like 90
to 10. And then he was like, well, no,
we're restructuring like our cabinet, not like our fucking
bonds. And then they didn't went all
the way back up again, so like. Like shit like that can happen.
You're good. Um, but I just don't.
We just don't know like if this was intended manipulation or
not. Yeah, I mean, what the?
This this happens in trade finance all the time, like
manipulation happens traditional finance all the time.
I'm sure this is. The thing is, if he was
manipulation, If it was manipulation, they wouldn't have
put out the second tweet. What's the second tweet that
reportedly? That means that somebody else
has looked at the situation and been like, ohh, yeah, this is
this is true, right? Or like ohh somebody else has
told us this information, but that's that second tweet.
That's the one that needs investigating.
Because if it's some rogue employee who's got the Twitter
account and he's just put that out and he's gone 1000 X long on
on whatever, then then yes. Then you can.
Understand it. But somebody has done that and
then looked at it, what, 1520 minutes later and gone like,
Yep, actually that's right. So I think that's the one that
needs to be investigated. To like this do you know what
they should have posted though Honestly they they should have
the the the intern should just gone back and posted this for
sure in case of an investigation by any federal entity or
similar. Imagine would be crazy.
Dude the memes are fucking insane right now.
It's so funny. You're right.
So the second tweet is what you get invested because like
reportedly, it's like what happens next And also reportedly
Kobe said that, if that. Jeff was approved, I think
something around eating his own Dick.
Yeah, is that if if Coin Telegraph legitimately was the
first report that he would ease and Dick.
Yeah, he said. Statement.
Cotton. He said.
Ohh wait. He deleted it.
Wait. Ohh wow.
I don't know. Kobe just went at it.
I can't find a screenshot of of him tweeting earlier, but he
definitely put something out there.
He said so someone said we're so back and then he said if Coin
Telegraph actually broke this news legitimately first, then I
will eat my own Dick on live stream and then so that's that's
it was an eventful morning guys because I'm back to being
morning time here when all these things happen.
Let me tell you something different but this hitting.
The second everything gets rolling before the show, it's
definitely different anyways, so that was the morning.
I think we don't need to report much more on it.
Don't know. And So what happened by now?
Yeah, I did see that. That the robot tweet was
hilarious. Obviously I don't.
Think the whole bit one was so funny.
It's but it's not real like when you go to close beds.
Yeah. See you as usual see trader
Aguilar like cooked. But yeah, that was hilarious.
Like that was also very good reply I go this you and.
Someone like this is so funny. Like look at the coin.
Telegraph Photoshop on top here. So good.
This one's doing numbers. Like this tweet is doing 421 K
views. This one is definitely doing
numbers. Even as Zach's like what Oh my
What do we think happen? I think someone tipped them off
and they didn't Fact Check it and they printed it because I
think with all these reporting agencies there's like a massive,
it's just like all the people who post breaking this, breaking
this punks over 400 death or whatever.
Like it's always like oh can I be the first person to post it
so I can get all the cloud for it.
And I think you probably have the same mechanics and dynamics
in the reporting industry with this kind of stuff.
So I think someone just tipped them off or something like that
with fake news and they just didn't really Fact Check it and
just went ahead and. Printed it because they wanted
to get all the cloud for it and now it's you know.
Saying on their face. Yeah man, What do you think?
What do you think is the is gonna be the outcome of this?
Maybe they had a conversation with somebody at the SEC's, like
a source who said it, and that source wanted it to be off
record, and then they posted it and then they realised they
couldn't even write the article because the source wouldn't say
it. Like maybe it's one of those
sort of scenarios. OK, that's fair.
Oh my I've got ohh. This is so good.
This is so fucking good. 100% she was behind.
It Ohh. Yeah, so good.
People on audio is the famous picture of Nancy Pelosi on the
phone. And it goes, it's going down
Monday morning. We've got a 10 minute window
going. Telegraph is posting a tweet.
Oh my God Alan Carroll. That is a good well let me just
retweet it for the people want to see it that man you know the
timeline remains undefeated when it comes to stuff like this
Anyway so in other news I now go to we have Brian tubes down
there if you want to request to speak up bringing up he's our
he's our stubs artist this week with flooring protocol NFT's
look our NFT's making a comeback too that we see someone of a a
bottom of NFT if you guys. I don't know if you have
followed what happened on the on the NFT side there, but
flooring. Protocol seems to be this new
protocol that, you know, just launched, right?
It's not new in the sense that it was.
It's what's his name again? You know, the guy that's like
buying all the apes. Him Capital.
Him Capital so is launched by PIM Capital and it looks like
NFT's are now getting some more liquidity through this new
protocol, clawed flooring protocol.
I've just said again, sorry and it looks like it's working
pretty well thus far. It's obviously not live for all
like all like collections. Yeah, it's just like I think.
Have elementals, youths and and pudgies, which is like NFT that
they have been buying up over time, but it looks like it's
kind of like you know bringing some liquidity into the market
and you know pumping some floors in that in that sense and if you
guys have looked into it at all. I haven't looked into it, but I
did realise this was the reason why they came in and bought some
NFT, right? They wanted to get.
Just going and this is where they're gonna make money on the
other side. So yeah, curious to see how it
works. Yeah, same here.
What do you call this? Tokens like you tokens.
What is this? Called mute, I think.
You. As in the Greek letter MU.
Is that what it is? A Greek letter?
I don't know. Better person.
Ohh that did maths at uni, so he's a he's big and old with
Greeks, yeah. Big on Greek terminology, so it
says Mute tokens are collection specific tokens that are big
that can be generated by fragmenting your NFT.
Mute tokens introduce revolutionary methods to fully
capitalise on the project success.
They are tradable with no friction or fees on dexes and
soon after on other major exchanges, so.
Obviously that send the you know FLC token, I think yesterday
like completely sent it. It was up like few 100%.
I'm not too sure what it's up now but that that worked out
pretty well for them and it seems like this was the reason
why Pimp Capital has been you know they've been acquiring a
lot lot lot of NFT. So I'm assuming that Next up
it'll come from 40 apes. I just assumption because they
have been buying a lot of apes, it's not live yet for for that
specifically but I don't know. Do you guys have any thoughts on
on, on on like turning NFT's completely into like?
UH tokens at this stage or is that is that is that something
that is gonna help the market at all?
Because it seems like the more we have like this, maybe the the
Merrion it'll help bring more liquidity in, but I don't really
understand it fully. Yet it seems very similar to
pseudo swap. Do you remember pseudo swap?
You create a pool of different NFTS.
You put all the ants in the pool and whoever puts their left in
the pool, their special token which might which whose value is
going to be. Correlated to the amount of
activity on the platform. So it's it's just another
version of what originally remember was NTX was like the
original pools and then pseudo swaps are doing them and now
flowing flowing protocol is going to do them.
I think it is just another extension of turning NFCS into
old coins. Um, but it will probably provide
some form of a of a bid for people as these pools are
initially created. Hmm.
Yeah, looks like. Well, that's interesting the way
it works. I guess we'll see more as it
come as it keeps going, but. Traders probably loving that and
we'll see where the markets actually you know I don't even
know where the NFT markets are. Let me pull up DJ's real quick.
Is that from Gutter cat which I don't know if you saw one to.
Like with the wind, man. The.
Windows. Why the wins?
Now. Yeah, matchy.
Matthew Sweet those as well. He's really polished here to.
Big art lover match A Big Brother swept the winds of
Yawanawa yesterday. However, aside from that though,
they were already very strong, like they were already up to
like 9. Only they were, really.
Feel good. Yeah, what?
They look so good and look, I think they're they're really
good question. They do, they do look, they do
look very well, very nice. They're beautiful.
Honestly. I mean look at that like when
you see them all like on one screen, like fully reveal the
beautiful look. The floor is 12 eighth, but you
know it's pretty much like pretty thin to like 15 E It's
pretty wild. Obviously that came on the back
of you know them revealing and then having the announcement of
the momma acquiring one of one of the pieces by you know.
Wow. Rafiq.
Rafiq, Anadol sorry. And so and so this would
happened but you know we'll see what happens on FT market front
but there's not you know it's just seems to still be quite
weak. The pledges are holding strong,
well above 5/8. The winds are above 12 E the
board's. I don't think there's really
moved far from like 23 to 25 region in very long time means
that 475. It's a gutter cast that was a
big winner obviously like drop 166% over the last seven days.
Little bit of a pullback over the last 24 hours as they jumped
like 1.48, but the entire like gutter cat ecosystem was going
pretty hard, whether it's the pigeons, dogs or whatnot.
So we saw that go up pretty well.
But it's been a minute since I went since I looked through the
floors. I'm not going to.
Yeah, I haven't looked in a long time.
Some of them. I still don't understand why
they're still above one, I'm not gonna lie.
But good to see. Good to see you guys.
So that's that was that on that front And then of course we saw
a zombie sale for 400 each. So it was the Rosy Cheeks
cigarette zombie which sold for 400.
The owner, like he kept it was pretty much like a a Dutch
auction right. Like he kept lowering the price,
lowering the price during the price until he got hit and he
got hit on the 400 death bed and then which means he made 28th on
the sale but lost. Think close to $100,000, but
hey, I lost in dollars. When an eighth.
That's not too bad. That's not too bad in the in the
market that all tax loss harvest and again either.
So that was about it. But I don't.
I don't know if there's anything else on the F2 front that you
guys wanna note, but that's what I saw on my end.
Uh, no. Does everything feel a little
bit better? Not in.
If it feels as though money has stabilised at I mean, Stars
Arena opened again on Sunday. But.
No trading. Everyone flies are there.
But yeah, just just just some things trending up in the app
market, which is good to see. All right.
Well, that's a good roundup. Do we have Brian?
Yes, we do have Brian Tubes taking Starboy on stage with us,
our Stubbs Artist of the Week, Brian, Tubes GM.
How you doing? GMG M Thank you so much for
having me up here guys. It is just such an honour to to
be up here. Thanks for supporting artists
through The Bear, and thanks for letting me share my space
photography with the With the Screw.
Listen, space photography is freaking sick.
By the way, did y'all see the Did y'all catch the solar?
It was a solar eclipse right over the over the weekend.
It was only in California. No, I think you couldn't see it
where we were. I was in, I was in Europe too,
so you couldn't really see. It was like 11 AM when when it
crossed for us. But Brian, did you catch that
solar eclipse? So this weekend I was in a
bachelor. I was at a bachelor party in
Atlanta and I asked the guys if they'd be interested in like,
looking through a telescope and they were like, yeah, so all
I've brought was my solar glasses, like, which have solar
philtres and a phone. So I got it with a cell phone
and it it came out pretty decent.
OK, that's pretty cool. So you're Oh my Just.
Looked like some nerds in the parking lot holding a phone up
to the sunglasses. But it was fun.
It was fun. I love that.
Yeah. I'm seeing that in your timeline
right now. Sorry.
I'm like sharing the. Carrying your your screen and
going through your profile. So Brian, you are a deep you're
into deep space NFT, you call yourself Star Boy.
So tell us a little bit about yourself and your art.
I've seen it around before. It's pretty insane.
Thanks so much man. I appreciate it.
I have been a space nerd for a long time, just like you know,
astronomy class in school and looking through telescopes.
The first time I saw Saturn through a telescope it just kind
of changed my life. I didn't even look real, the
rings and everything and as soon as I was able to figure out how
to point a camera at the sky, I just sort of went crazy going
after deep space, nebula, supernovas, galaxies.
I was just blown away at what an amateur with like.
Pretty. Amateur equipment can get.
Can see it's just so cool what's out there in the darkness.
Anyone who is at Marfa knows that there's a lot out there
that we don't see on a daily on the daily basis.
So wait, what's your process when it comes to a?
What's your process when it comes to creating these pieces?
Like these pieces are insane. I mean, especially obviously,
like I'm seeing the piece of me share it one more time, the
piece that you create ocean red for, for today's stubs.
Like what? What does it require for you to
create something like that? So the.
Vast majority of my shots are actually taken with a telescope
which actually has extremely similar mechanics to a camera
lens. It's just a big camera lens with
a specialised camera. And the most important part
truly is specialised philtres which isolate the ionised gases,
the ionised hydrogen and the ionised oxygen in the case of of
ocean red, so ionised hydrogen creates that beautiful red and
then the oxygen glows. This doubly ionised oxygen glows
in this blue, and the special philtres are really the key.
And the star tracker to track the stars throughout the night.
And it's kind of a it's like the nerd the a nerdy form of
photography. But I really love it.
It hits me perfect. Yeah.
This is this is super cool. I, I, I really love that piece
so much. Talked about so about ocean red
right. Like, tell us more about this
piece that everybody's gonna be able to burn for on Friday.
So this is a lot of people call it the Giant squid Nebula.
I really had fun capturing it. It's it was only discovered back
in 2011. So it's it's super faint and
literally was just discovered about a decade ago.
It I love it that like thousands of years ago people were looking
up and like looking at and finding pictures in the sky.
They like, oh that looks like a lion that looks like a bear.
Now we can go even deeper with telescopes and cameras and and
start to actually find oh, that looks like a brain.
That looks like a bat, or that looks like a squid.
So this is the Squid Nebula, the Giant Squid Nebula.
And yeah, basically the capture process is you just get out on a
dark night, you get those specialised philtres on there,
and you just isolate the the plasma, the exact wavelengths
that you're looking for. And you just take as many
exposures as you possibly can. Because anyone who's ever taken
a picture in pitch darkness it there's a lot of noise to deal
with, a lot of shot. Always and a lot of.
So you just have to basically just take as many pictures as
you can and get lucky and hope for the best.
Damn, I'm looking at your Charizard piece.
That shit is crazy. Thank you man.
That was my my superior Genesis piece.
I I so that's similar. So these are regions of space
where star formation is actively happening and basically just
these huge clouds of gas of hydrogen gas and dust are being
illuminated and ignited by baby stars.
Baby stars are crazy hot and they released a tonne of
ultraviolet radiation and it just makes the cloud glow and
you can't see it with the naked eye.
Except in very rare cases. But once you put a telescope on
it and get, you know, with a sensitive camera, you can just
go crazy and these these shapes and structures start to appear.
That is insane. Yo.
This is really cool. I have this like thing where
like every time I See Stars, I have this app.
By the way, a big shot to that app.
This is not sponsored, but I forgot the name.
It's called Night Sky. I don't know if you ever do
that. Brian and I just love to to
like, put my phone up. It tells me what stars I'm
looking at. And I got about.
You're obsessed. You you are obsessed with the
stars. Whenever I'm with you, you
always you always checking them out.
Yeah, literally. That's like a thing.
I have it started one night I was up north.
I may or may not have been under the influence of, you know,
mushrooms. And and I was laying down and I
looked up and I saw like hundreds of stars, but three of
them were shining like crazy. And my friends like bro, that
has to be planets, like. So we saw Saturn and Saturn,
Saturn, Jupiter, I think Mars. All through it in one night like
in one spot and it was absurd and I thought it made me down
the app and ever since I've just been obsessed with like I don't
know like the sky like the other like every time I see like I see
Jupiter, I'm like ohh this Jupiter.
And I just I just love seeing how I can if I can spot like
different planets right. What's some tips you got if
people want to get better shots of those, Brian?
Do you absolutely need to have like like the the, the, the
telescope and everything like this, something that perceived
fascinates me? So like what?
What is there any alpha on like? Capturing stars better?
Yeah, for sure. Man, the planets were what got
me too. They really did get me the
second I saw one through the telescope.
It just blew my mind. I felt like Galileo, you know, I
was like, ohh. Ohh, so as far as capturing
these things, you do not need crazy special equipment to get
started. Anyone, any photographer out
there in the audience probably has a camera and a camera lens.
I mean you could get started with even just shooting the
Milky Way. You know with a wide angle lens
you will quickly. If you want to get deeper into
Astro you will want a star tracker that really is a game
changer. It's basically just a little
thing that goes on the top of your iPod and tracks the stars
as they rotate through the night sky.
That is really the alpha. And then it's just a matter of
what size camera lens you want and what which direction you
want to point. Because when you look at the
Milky Way at night there are hundreds of nebula or get and
galaxies out there if you just wanna if you just wanna find
them. So that app, that app that
you've got, the night sky app or that was Sky Safari Pro app and
a star tracker and a camera and you just get out there and and
have fun. It's really, really, really it's
really addictive. So, fair warning, you might end
up with 10 telescopes after a few months, but.
I definitely define him down to, uh, to end up with telescope one
day, let's say Brian, I think it's super cool.
One more time, like you know, I just wanna show on the screen
like the beautiful piece that Brian has for us this week on
stop called Ocean Red. It's super freaking cool.
Brian, thank you so much for coming here.
Thank you for talking about your art and thank you for sharing
with us. I think it's really cool, man.
It was an absolute honour, man. I love what you guys are doing
with the Stubbs project and I appreciate you having.
Me. Definitely.
Yeah, 100%. And let us know if you have
anything else like coming up and people and you want someone you
know any call to action or if you want people to pay attention
to something particular. Feel free to for you to share
with everyone here. Ohh thanks so much.
Definitely if you love the stars get out there and look up as
often as possible. They they they're just beautiful
and they they they just get they really put life in perspective
with just how their ancient beauty you know was always
shining down. So get out there, look at the
stars, and as far as my work, I've got some some cool pictures
of this recent supermoon up on foundation.
So if if you like it you can check it out that that's where
you can find some affordable work.
Thanks so much guys. Hell yeah.
So the foundation, Brian Foundation is the one I've been
sharing on the timeline when he was talking.
You can check it out, Starboy. And there's a bunch of really
cool work out there. So, Brian, thank you very much,
boys. Ovi Mando, another great show.
Hopefully we don't get fake news.
Next time we get news about Black Rock or any ETF, it will
be real. That's.
That's hope. Let's just hope, and if not,
maybe I'll I'll. I'll double check before I send
a bunch of logs. Ohh.
That was one painful morning. I can't hear.
Amanda, I think you muted. I really wanna know what these
trades were, man. I I sent them into that.
He sent the screenshot in the. Group.
I sent you mean of his chat. You'll catch up, you'll see.
I'll ping down. We talked a lot.
Yeah, it's. Yeah, they're not great.
Anyways, you're welcome to make fun of me.
