The timeline is going absolutely 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,280 insane right now. You'll love to see that. 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,720 It's just it's just pure chaos and absolute madness. 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,640 This morning in the space. And we're just on the last day 21 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,120 of Jan. We have 11 more months left to 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,360 this year. This is starting up, starting up 23 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,120 the races pretty well in 2024. Why? 24 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720 You absolutely love to see it? So today on the show today, 25 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880 Today I'm going to speed run through his topics because we 26 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,440 have a big show ahead. We have a big day ahead. 27 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,120 I see some familiar faces in the audience. 28 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,960 I see a lot of friends, I see a lot of homies. 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,360 You absolutely love to see that. I see a lot of squiggle PFPS in 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,680 the audience that wonder why. So today on the show, today, 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,040 today, what do we got? What do we got? 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400 Market report, as usual. Bitcoin, E soul, all that good 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,680 stuff, yadda yadda yadda. You know we're going to talk 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,000 about Jupiter Air job that just went live at 10:00 AM Eastern 35 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,480 Standard Time, so 30 minutes ago. 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,480 Pretty much like to talk with town at the moment. 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,440 Solana has not broken. Boom. 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600 Love to see that. So so let's talk. 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,120 We'll talk about this stuff quickly and then NFT recap. 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,960 ETH sold Bitcoin. And last but not least we will 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,040 be joined by the man, the myth, the legend. 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,840 If there was a Mount Mount Rushmore of NFTS to be built 43 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,880 right now, he would be on there. That would be carving his 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,240 wonderful face on there. Eric Calderon AKA Snow Fro is 45 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,120 going to come on. I don't know if the news is out 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,640 yet or not, so I'm not going to front run it, but he's going to 47 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,000 come on and chat with us for the last 15 I think 20 minutes bit 48 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,680 of the show. So excited. 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,320 I've obviously seen a bunch of of more the artsy side of of CT 50 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,960 on here. So thank you for tuning in. 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,960 It's going to be a great show and as usual at the very end of 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,680 the show we will be giving away $1000. 53 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,360 Thanks to our partners at Robit, we've been giving away $1000 a 54 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,960 day, pretty much. So it's five. 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,920 Wait, I I wait. I have the thing. 56 00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,800 Why am I saying it? It's 5. 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400 There you go. So we've been giving away $1000 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,720 a day every single show for 15 days. 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,800 I think we give four or five away. 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,360 I'm losing count. Today is either 5th or $6000 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880 that we give. And just got the news that since 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,520 we didn't set up the spins for today because we couldn't Friday 63 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,680 Mando we're giving away $20,000 worth of loose boxes. 64 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,000 So it's 4 spins, it's 5K pop. So Friday, a lot of winners. 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,240 If you're live on the show, it's gonna be good. 66 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,720 I cannot, I cannot wait to see that happening. 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,520 But all you have to do to enroll to win is retweet the spaces and 68 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,400 follow Formoire and Robot, which is super simple. 69 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120 Bottom right, there's a purple box drop AGM, right? 70 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,320 Because you know me, I love my GMs. I like it when you guys say 71 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,480 GM to me and then just retweet the main spaces. 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,320 Nothing else. It's, it was posted from my 73 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,040 account. It's at the top right now. 74 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,600 It's pinned there just bottom right corner purple box and 75 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,040 retweet. And if you follow us we'll pick 76 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,520 a winner and you got to be in the space though our goal is 77 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,400 only to give money to people that are live on Twitter spaces 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480 with us. We've been very open about that. 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,160 That's all we want to do is, you know reward people participating 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,400 with our contest anyways. Anyways, we have a lot to talk 81 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,440 about today. There's a lot going on in the in 82 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,400 the space right now. I see Mando firing off tweets as 83 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,920 as we're on the show. So you know what? 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,040 I'm gonna go to you first. Who is? 85 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,680 The main knackle Daddy of the land. 86 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,520 Can you dig it? So I I was just driving for now, 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,600 so I am catching up slightly but this we had a little bit of a 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,840 wobble overnight. Bitcoin headed down to around 42 89 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,160 1/2 K ETH headed below 2300 at one stage and Solana hit I think 90 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,560 9897 actually at one stage. So definitely a bit of weakness 91 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200 on a technical level. We obviously just hit like a 92 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,320 lower high for Bitcoin there. So like we kind of went up to 93 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,160 whatever it was 50 and then people were saying oh that's a 94 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,360 lower high and that was the case for a lot of different altcoins. 95 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760 So people are expecting this maybe to be a bit range bound 96 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,120 for a while now. So it's just something to be 97 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,920 aware of like from a from a like a consolidation period. 98 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080 This is looking more likely like you might be ranging for a 99 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,520 little bit here. That being said, like it still 100 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,400 feels relatively strong out there in terms of flows. 101 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,800 You saw another 250 million going into the ETF. 102 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,560 I'm sure you're going to see some of the figure again today, 103 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600 maybe maybe even higher. So bullish on that front, it's a 104 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,320 big day for macro, a bunch of different stuff going on. 105 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,000 Yesterday you had, you had Microsoft and you had you had 106 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,840 Google earnings. Both Microsoft earnings seem 107 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,480 decent like the outlook maybe wasn't incredible and and same 108 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,840 for Google. So, so stocks did sell off 109 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,600 slightly down about a percent yesterday and I think they're 110 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,400 down again today. So slightly weaker the macro 111 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,280 outlook and we have the Fed today. 112 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,720 We spoke about that yesterday, but it's. 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,080 FOMC of the year. I mean, I personally think that 114 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,480 that they've got to stop all this rhetoric of like higher for 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,080 longer, like inflation is coming down very, very quickly. 116 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,840 So I I personally think we're gonna see a bullish, bullish Fed 117 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,120 today. A lot of that has been priced in 118 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520 that like stocks been ramming into this for for a while. 119 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,240 But I do think we're gonna see a bullish Fed. 120 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200 So there's that China still looking like a complete 121 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,240 disaster. I think Chinese stocks hit five 122 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,920 year low again today. They've been announcing huge 123 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,880 stimulus but doesn't seem to be working that well. 124 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,680 They had another weak manufacturing figure. 125 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,800 So like on a global basis, the US continues to kind of out 126 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,120 outperform I would say, although you are seeing like higher 127 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,920 stocks in in Europe as well at the moment. 128 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360 But the US is definitely the strongest out of the pack right 129 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,640 now. And yeah, for crypto, everyone's 130 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,960 just focused on this Jupiter AirDrop. 131 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,160 So Jupiter came it. It's been bouncing around. 132 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Where is it? Right now it's trading at close 133 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520 to a dollar. No, it's trading $0.70. 134 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,360 All right, $0.70, so that's 7 billion mark. 135 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,960 I mean that is high. We're already talking about 136 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,560 higher than UNISWAP here. I think it hit 1.2 at one stage 137 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,160 when I was driving back I thought it was. 138 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,040 Crazy. It actually opened at 2 Bucks. 139 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,240 Wow. Yeah. 140 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,840 So I wasn't really around for all of that. 141 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,440 So like so I I I didn't see all the bouncing around but this 142 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400 thing will this thing will fly and that initial Wick, like we 143 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,000 said, no exchanges really got access to it beforehand so they 144 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,760 all had to buy. So I think some people would 145 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680 have realised that they were going to get seen off in having 146 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,400 to buy it higher. It's going to, you're going to 147 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,360 see huge, huge volumes, I think a lot. 148 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,160 The claim is ongoing right now. A lot of the front end daps are 149 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120 down like they're experiencing like quite a heavy load on 150 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,040 things like Jupiter. I think the site was down for a 151 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,080 little bit. You saw Phantom go down 152 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,720 yesterday. Yesterday the the Solana Devnet 153 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,240 was actually down for most of yesterday and there was some 154 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800 like Oh my God, like what? What the Hell's going to happen 155 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,880 here? There has been some talk about 156 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,960 the fact that they were like prepare, they were like using it 157 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000 internally. They were preparing for this as 158 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,520 a load, but Solana's been up the whole time. 159 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,480 This is, this has got to be one of the biggest air drops. 160 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000 It's definitely the biggest air drop in terms of market cap 161 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,680 ever. It's also got to be one of the 162 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960 biggest in terms of number of people. 163 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,960 Suddenly suddenly using the chain I put out a tweet before 164 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,400 just like looks fine. Still producing blocks, no 165 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:27,760 issues. I just. 166 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,320 Posted that. Who who did so? 167 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,480 Austin Austin Federa, I just posted that this chart saying 168 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,919 well that was boring and he posted this. 169 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,720 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. 170 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,640 Of TPS and everything. Let me go to what you shared. 171 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,919 Oh, nice. OK, there you go. 172 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,880 So yeah, I mean there was some FUD going into that people were 173 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,560 pointing to that was why Solana was down, got hurt yesterday. 174 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:57,200 It's because the Devnet was down, seems to have been past 175 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,680 this with kind of flying colours. 176 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,760 I think that if I'm honest, if you to speak to a lot of people 177 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,360 are still sceptical on Solana. I think the first thing they 178 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,120 would say is you can't trust it. It goes down all the time This 179 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,640 this is they've had two pretty big stresses recently which is 180 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,040 the when token which is a huge air drop for a lot of people and 181 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,720 then you've had now had this Jupiter air drop. 182 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,680 Look, I'm not saying this line will never go down again. 183 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,320 We had easy come on our our rec radio show and said he doesn't 184 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,640 think it's ever going to go down again just the way that it's 185 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,280 been set up now means like they basically basically a number of 186 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,000 different things would have to go wrong in terms of the 187 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,720 validation for it to go to go wrong. 188 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,280 It's a very, very small possibility but it could still 189 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280 happen. But yeah this is this is 190 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,080 definitely going to make people pay attention. 191 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,000 I think the fact that nothing happened and also the fact that 192 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,080 people were fighting it into it like oh Salon is going to go 193 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,800 down tomorrow seems to have done it. 194 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,320 OK so bounced since that. I think it it was trading at 195 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,440 like I said 9899. It's now it seems to be running 196 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,840 as we speak it's it's kind of just breach 101 and the market 197 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,280 is also rallying so so bitcoins back up above 43 K it is hitting 198 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:10,440 30/23/20. All coins are rallying but maybe 199 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,080 not as much as as majors right now. 200 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,000 They definitely got hurt yesterday and meme coins got 201 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,240 hurt you just got GMEGME is hitting where is GME right now. 202 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:24,440 This morning was at 40 million yeah it's still at 40 million. 203 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,160 It annoys me because I saw it at six and over. 204 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,120 You pudded me out of the pudded me out of the trade. 205 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:37,440 So the only meme coin that's really higher if I'm honest. 206 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,040 Like if I go onto deck Screener, literally every other meme coin 207 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,600 is lower. Apart from this GME coin. 208 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,800 It has not been a good the fabled meme coin pump has yet to 209 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,040 materialise. It may materialise now like. 210 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,280 Well. Not yet. 211 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,760 Yeah. I think the first move is that 212 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,320 play around in Jupiter and the next move is, all right, I got 213 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,680 to play for the next AirDrop, right. 214 00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:00,760 So if this stays at 7 billion, this the next Airdrop's going to 215 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,280 be used as well. So like people are, people are 216 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,120 going to be people are going to be spinning up new meme coins 217 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,960 every 5 minutes I think. So that's going to be an 218 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,440 interesting space. What else is there from a from, 219 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,600 from a perspective, there were some very bullish headlines 220 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640 yesterday about predictions for ETH. 221 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,760 ETH. ETH has become a little bit like 222 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,920 doge. I don't know if you've seen 223 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,080 this. People are picking up on it like 224 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,160 so. Traditionally those rallies 225 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,280 that's the final rally before the market dumps ETH. 226 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,960 The last two times ETH has rallied and taken the lead in 227 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,760 rallying. The market has then subsequently 228 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,200 dumped. So there's this ETH rallied 229 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,200 yesterday and then a lot of people were like oh fuck. 230 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,280 And then we yeah we did dump. So it's but that was kind of on 231 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,400 the back of some headlines that Stan chartered which is a kind 232 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,760 of auk such Asian bank came out with a came out with a 233 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,520 prediction that ether was going to hit 4K on the back of it ETF 234 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,320 coming in in May. Some of the other banks have 235 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,800 been a bit less sceptical, a bit more sceptical on that. 236 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,280 JP Morgan in particular has been very sceptical on it. 237 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,560 Bloomberg analysts still think I think 60% of their last on their 238 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,560 last one. So like it's still 5050 but they 239 00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:10,760 came up with a very bullish piece. 240 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,280 So I think people got very bullish on on ether on the back 241 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:20,640 of that like I said, the ETF outflows that have been good and 242 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,800 NFTSNFTS were broadly lower. I think yesterday there were 243 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,600 some, there was some, there were some rises like you saw, you saw 244 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,160 the big Sotheby's Mint, sorry the big Sotheby's sale for 245 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,560 Starry Eyed grew and that was the big sales there. 246 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:39,720 And then you had Roop Smile Mint did like a 5X and a couple of 247 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,520 other smaller projects did well. I think creeps is starting to 248 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,360 rally again. Obviously you got Portal coming 249 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,480 relatively soon, so. All right. 250 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Well, that is quite the roundup. You're you're on one this 251 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960 morning. Shout out to sorry Mando 252 00:12:53,960 --> 00:13:00,680 minutes. Sorry this it slipped out. 253 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:04,680 It slipped out first here. Let me go to one place for your 254 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:08,800 minutes, you know, let. Me aggregate the aggregation of 255 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,880 your aggregation, bro. Anyway, I've never seen anything 256 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,600 like it. I'm 90% of the whole thing. 257 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,280 Cats. Is crazier cats? 258 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,000 I mean, this is. I mean, if anything, this is our 259 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760 stage, right? So, yeah, you can say rockets, 260 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,600 are you on? Let me pull the curtain back a 261 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,160 little bit because you went all the way deep to NFTS here. 262 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,880 Let's talk about what's happening right now. 263 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920 So on the market side, it seems like things are holding up 264 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,760 pretty well. We got a little little bounce 265 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,240 from yesterday night that you're talking about. 266 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,040 I'm, I'm like curious to know what you guys are thinking now 267 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,680 that troop has dropped. Obviously we're talking about it 268 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,160 yesterday. We're kind of like guessing like 269 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,600 what happens there. Of course, like seems like a lot 270 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,760 of liquidity has been sucked out of Minkorns for the moment and 271 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,120 it's probably going to keep happening. 272 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080 A lot of people have not been able to claim yet obviously and, 273 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,720 but that's not because Solanzburg is just the front 274 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,720 ends like you just mentioned Jupiter and and and. 275 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,400 Which was expected. A lot of people like all these 276 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400 front ends will break. Every single one of them will 277 00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,840 break. Not surprised, right? 278 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,800 But The thing is, the chain itself is fine. 279 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,160 OK. And so which is all that 280 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,640 matters. I mean, OV what do you think 281 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,560 happens here? Right? 282 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,800 Like now the claim has happened, obviously it's kind of soon to 283 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,040 guess where it settles. Binance has been pushed to 11:00 284 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,400 AM, so another 11 minutes until it goes out there. 285 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,080 What do we, what is this? Are you hitting your 286 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,720 expectations here versus what you were looking into yesterday? 287 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,560 I knew we've been talking about Jupiter back and forth a lot 288 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,840 over the last couple of weeks. So what do you what do you what 289 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,800 are you seeing here? I think it's too early because 290 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,680 what I'm seeing on Twitter, people are a lot of people are 291 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,400 still unable to claim their dupe and that's a big impact, right, 292 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,520 because you know presumably at least 20 or 30% of them are 293 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,560 going to sell their dupe. So I think it's too early to 294 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,680 judge because the flows seem to be mainly on centralized 295 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,880 exchange. Obviously, we just talked about 296 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360 how the front ends are all down as well. 297 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,280 So people, it seems like people aren't really able to 298 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,880 effectively trade or claim on chain right now. 299 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,320 And there's been a lot of like trading on sexes, which isn't 300 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,240 really going to be like the main meter. 301 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,280 The volume, I think. I think, yeah. 302 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,080 So it's too, it's too early to say given where the price is 303 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,320 now. I think you have to imagine that 304 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,640 once people are able to claim and sell, the price goes lower. 305 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,360 But at the same time I also think most buyers probably have 306 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,160 their money on chain as well and want to want to buy it on chain 307 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,120 rather than like bridging it to sexes. 308 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480 So I don't know like I think it's kind of like whereabouts I 309 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,160 thought it would be. It's kind of to be honest with 310 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,640 you, it's right where the price right now is literally where the 311 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,640 where it was trading in the grave for the last two or three 312 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,680 days. And I think once everyone sold 313 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,840 their AirDrop, which usually happens over the like you know 314 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,200 once most people have sold it usually usually happens in like 315 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,200 the first few hours of trading. Then maybe you could potentially 316 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,240 see it like rally all the way to to one. 317 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,440 But for me, I feel like it's going to be in that like unless 318 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,400 like the market changes, you know that while Seoul stays at 319 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,480 one O 1 and while Bitcoin stays at 43 1/2 Ki think the range on 320 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,200 on Jeep is going to be somewhere between like you know 70-70 321 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,680 cents to a dollar or something like that. 322 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,760 That's that's kind of like my hunch. 323 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,120 I think we have to wait and you know there's there's a lot of 324 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,920 like people keep talking about like Oh well we've seen mean 325 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,240 coins rally but we'll see the rest of salon ecosystem rally. 326 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,360 Well, we just have to wait until people are are actually able to 327 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,800 sell their dupe and then spend it before we can assess whether 328 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,760 that whether that was correct or not. 329 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,680 Like mean Coins won't rally right now because people don't 330 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,120 have any juice to have me have to sell their dupe. 331 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,400 But if they don't rally in two days or three days, then, you 332 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,160 know, or even by the weekend, then there's an argument to say, 333 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,240 you know, people didn't roll it, roll it into mean coins and 334 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,440 maybe they put it somewhere else. 335 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,440 So too early to to judge the impact right now I think. 336 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,040 It it looks like here I just got reposted what Moon Overlord 337 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,960 posted. So the Jupe launch pool is 338 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,360 almost out of tokens. This just in. 339 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,640 It's pretty wild man. Do you want to kind of explain 340 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,680 what this whole launch pool is all about and what I mean? 341 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,680 Yeah, I mean, I I kind of know what's going on there. 342 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,319 I think. I think Meow tweeted the other 343 00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:16,960 day that like the the initial, the initial liquidity pool was 344 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:22,240 being set up with a different range for Jupiter as like the 345 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,560 initial launch pool. I I don't know if they were 346 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,560 involved in setting up because sometimes that's an issue with 347 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200 like with tokens, like if the team is actually involved in 348 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,880 staying at the locality pool. But there there's definitely one 349 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,760 which he was clearly paying attention to. 350 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,880 I don't know if he actually set that up and obviously it may be 351 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,160 moving out of range, so like it may, it may they may have 352 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,680 already reached it. Yeah, I mean look at that, this 353 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,360 is pretty wild. How many achieving transactions 354 00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,520 are we at? Like is there even a way like we 355 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,920 can just go and look like I saw obviously someone messaged us 356 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,320 saying it did $100 million of volume in 35 minutes, that's the 357 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,520 1st, 35 minutes and everything stayed in time. 358 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,160 So that is impressive that is that is really good to see. 359 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,840 I saw easy had like 180,000 tokens to claim. 360 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,640 And so it's it's great. It's great him and a lot of 361 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,120 people that have been like you know avid Solana enjoy yours 362 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:19,280 like for the for the past, you know for the past for for the 363 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,520 past year or so are getting, are getting, are getting heavily 364 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,400 rewarded here.

Did you see the Ripple founder 413 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,160 hack? Yeah, what the hell was up with 414 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:57,520 that? It's. 415 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520 Just you got hacked, right? Dude, so so there's the Ripple 416 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,480 got hacked for $113,000,000 right before the show, so it's 417 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,240 here. Per the Crypts article, Ripple 418 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,520 founder hacked for 100 and 3013 Sorry, $1,000,000 XRP drops five 419 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,800 points. Ripple's XRP token dropped 420 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,360 following word of $112.5 million hack, which Co founder Chris 421 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,120 Larson said were from his personal accounts. 422 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:24,840 I didn't see this. I saw that. 423 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,320 Did his Twitter get hacked as well? 424 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,800 I just maybe I just saw the headline, but. 425 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,080 Let's I mean this literally just happened. 426 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,040 I mean, you just posted it on X, yeah? 427 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,320 See, look at this. It's Zach's BT picked up on it. 428 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,480 So it's 22200 and 13 million XRP tokens that were hacked. 429 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,040 Wow. That's crazy. 430 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,440 And they've been laundered through Mexi, gate, finance 431 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,400 crack and OK, XHGXHBTC etcetera. So this was like a pretty 432 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,000 organized coup like type of thing going on here. 433 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,680 Like one thing people you you have to realize with Ripple is 434 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,800 the reason why the SEC came out after them is is the team owns a 435 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,120 ton of fucking tokens like it's only it's $1,000,000 market cap. 436 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,020 9 tokens Yes, that's insane. I mean, Chris Larson, Co 437 00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:14,560 founder, said yesterday there was an unauthorized access to a 438 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,560 few of my personal XRP accounts. Knox, not Ripple. 439 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,160 We were quickly able to catch the problem and notify exchanges 440 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,560 to freeze the affected addresses. 441 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,640 Law enforcement is already involved. 442 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,320 This is wild. This is This is a big hack. 443 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280 Yeah, definitely professional, right? 444 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,240 But it was laundered through multiple different exchanges 445 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:38,760 which. Is strange. 446 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,200 I mean, look at that. Look at this chart that Zach 447 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,400 posted, right? It's shit. 448 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,640 That is insane. That is absolutely wild. 449 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,120 Anyways, hate to see that whether you like Ripple or not, 450 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,400 you know XRP or not, this and that, Absolutely hate to see 451 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,160 another hack happening in our space, but you know it is what 452 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080 it is and that just happened this morning as well. 453 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760 So that's that. And then you know you kind of 454 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,000 went over and over NFTS and went out again, but you know 455 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,200 everything seems like kind of like stalling on the Solana side 456 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,920 because we're waiting for what's going on with Jupiter. 457 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720 So of course like some cell pressure on the on some of the 458 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,920 solar NFTS, but not crazy amount versus the tokens. 459 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,840 On the ordinal side, the Quantum Cats mint is today the remint. 460 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,880 So you get to mint again.

I love that. 574 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,760 Congratulations on the acquisition. 575 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,560 We love to hear some good M&A in the in the space. 576 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,160 You know, there's a lot of it going on, you know, and and I'm 577 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,360 not even surprised. The Sansa platform is awesome. 578 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,720 I remember Dee's putting me on that. 579 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,240 I think two years ago or whenever it came out, it's. 580 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,960 Been about a year, a little bit over a year, yeah. 581 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,920 Yeah. And and it's super cool. 582 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,720 I mean I mean Eric you know question would be like what 583 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,200 about Sansa like drew you into the platform right to to to make 584 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,560 this move in the first place? I mean, it's a beautiful 585 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,040 generative art browsing experience. 586 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,440 It was built originally just for art blocks and you know it's 587 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,960 like these these two dudes basically built this thing that 588 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,040 I've been wanting for a really long time to exist to art blocks 589 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,520 and without having to give them any input, they literally built 590 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,200 like exactly what I think art blocks needed. 591 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,840 Like they were taking in our engine partners as royalty 592 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,840 situation kind of got weird and uncertain. 593 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,640 And you know we we have a secondary marketplace on art 594 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,440 blocks, but that's just for the stuff that's on art blocks dot 595 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,440 IO these guys basically took in our our engine partners and give 596 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280 them a home and a place to like showcase the work so that it 597 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,000 felt cohesive and it was a really nice browsing experience 598 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,960 for for generative art and they did that on their own and they 599 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:10,120 did that as a as a very agile duo all in the course of a year. 600 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,640 They've created this beautiful thing and it's something that 601 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,240 we've kind of been. I mean, that's how I've been 602 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,360 browsing generative art outside of what, you know, is on our box 603 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,480 dot IO. And you know, I don't know, R 604 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,000 Block's always had pressing priorities. 605 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,120 I mean, this is kind of what happens when you're building a 606 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,320 Web 3. It's like it seems like there's 607 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,840 always something pressing. There's always something that's 608 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:36,400 kind of keeping you busy. And we've never really been able 609 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,880 to build something like this out to bring all of our ecosystem 610 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,800 home in one place. And just with the acquisition of 611 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,920 Sansa, we now have the, the the honor of bringing everything 612 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,600 home and now everything that's ever been minted on R Block's 613 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,200 technology is available in your wallet. 614 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,320 I mean just think like for the last however many years, there 615 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,560 was no way to see everything you've minted on our Plex tech. 616 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,040 Like you had to go to open seed to see it all together, which is 617 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,400 fine. But the browsing experience for 618 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,240 generative art is a better browsing experience when it's 619 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,960 catered and tailored to generative art. 620 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,480 That's what the Sansa team has done. 621 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,920 OK. That's awesome. 622 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,760 Congratulations with that. So what does that mean for the 623 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,040 other collections on Sansa, Like are they going to stay on there 624 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,400 or is it just going to become like an art blocks marketplace 625 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,720 slash secondary platform? Look we're going to figure it 626 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,320 out. We have, we have a lot of 627 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,840 figuring stuff out to do like the last thing I want to do is 628 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,240 remove artwork from from a platform. 629 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,600 It's also misleading because it is kind of part of the art 630 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,080 blocks ecosystem. And so we've we've got, we've 631 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,600 got some work to do. We've got a little bit of 632 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,680 digging to do to kind of figure out we need to kind of be in 633 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,480 touch with those platforms and see you know and navigate that. 634 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,680 But for the time being, you know the majority of the work that's 635 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,680 on Sansa has been our blocks work or our blocks related work 636 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,800 whether it's bright moments or any of the the amazing engine 637 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,720 partners that are on there. And so the the vast majority of 638 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,200 it belongs there natively. And then what we do with with 639 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,960 the other stuff, I mean I I just see that there's opportunities 640 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,960 to kind of explore that and you know, potentially give artists a 641 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,800 a, a home where that they can show everything that they've 642 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,600 created whether it's art bots or not within one profile. 643 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,320 So we'll explore that. We'll figure that out. 644 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,000 Hopefully in the next couple of months we'll we'll have more 645 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,640 answers. That's awesome. 646 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,240 I love that. Go on, Mando. 647 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,680 I say I love this, like, I actually didn't know about this 648 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,720 this site, but there's been a few attempts to like, do this 649 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,880 well, and this is, this is really nicely done. 650 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,800 Like you can really look through everything. 651 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,560 It feels like a gallery experience, right? 652 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,680 Like, it's it's nice. I I love the feel of it. 653 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,160 It's like the perfect home for art blocks. 654 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,040 I remember seeing it first when obviously, like our bodies like 655 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,800 you know, super into art blocks and everything you do has been a 656 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,040 big supporter. And when you showed me that, I 657 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,360 was like, damn, this is so clean, right? 658 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,600 Because like obviously the open sea experience in other 659 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,080 marketplaces is not the best when it comes to like get seeing 660 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440 all the different artworks and all the different creators that 661 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,760 you have at art blocks. Obviously there's a lot of 662 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,000 collections past, you know, present and and future within 663 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,960 your ecosystem. So I think this is a really cool 664 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,440 acquisition. Again, like Web Three within Web 665 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,760 3 acquisition is so fun, right? Like it's just, I love that. 666 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,680 Same way we teamed up with like the Crypt and stuff. 667 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,920 Like I just think you'd love to see that. 668 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,000 So how does that what does that change Eric for, like for your 669 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,560 creators and the collectors? Well, I mean, there's a It's a 670 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,800 bunch of things. Like for the for for starters 671 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,320 our blocks dot IO will remain art blocks that IO right we have 672 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,920 a a very special thing going there that's just you know our 673 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,040 our more selective releases and that'll stay on its own bespoke 674 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,240 website and but like one of the things that's really interesting 675 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,400 to me is that we are obviously we're working within kind of a 676 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,880 bit of a more fine art category there. 677 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,120 We're really kind of try to elevate the medium of generative 678 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,520 art and we're very sensitive to the way that we portray that 679 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,320 artwork. But we're in an ecosystem of, 680 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,600 gosh, where I came from is, you know, being AD Gen. and like 681 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920 messing around with like coins and punks and all these things. 682 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,720 And so we know that the browsing experience, like what the Web 683 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,360 Three community is actually looking for is things like 684 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,480 rankings and sweeping the floor and that kind of stuff. 685 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,440 I'm not interested in putting a ranking at the front page of our 686 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,040 blocks dot IO that is you know like even even if we are in Web 687 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,960 Three that just doesn't feel like the right message to be 688 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,560 sending when we're really trying to elevate this stuff is as art. 689 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,440 But we can't ignore that other side. 690 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,840 So what we get with Sansa is this ability to start leaning a 691 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,480 little bit more into the web three side and being able to 692 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,600 maybe do collection offers and you know one day maybe do 693 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,199 sweeping of the floors and analytics and rankings. 694 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,000 The things that we have trained ourselves in this ecosystem to 695 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,280 use to to determine what to follow and who to follow or 696 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,520 maybe what the next artist is that that's that we're going to 697 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,679 dive into. And obviously you know that can 698 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,840 lead to various different collector personas whether 699 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,760 you're literally flipping, speculating or become a patron 700 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,199 of one of those artists. Like you can really get to know 701 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,920 their history by having some of those analytics and stuff. 702 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,199 And so number one thing is you're going to get a little bit 703 00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:59,880 more of that pro experience than what you get on artbox dot IO, 704 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,800 which is just more tailored to being kind of like more art 705 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,160 forward. Besides that, as a collector, 706 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,880 you not have all of your stuff in one wallet. 707 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,320 And so of course, eventually we'll combine all our wallets 708 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640 cause a lot of us collectors have kind of gone deep and have 709 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,160 a lot of different wallets for different things, but that you 710 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,080 couldn't do that before. So if I wanted to see my Bright 711 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,760 Moments stuff, I mean I can see it on the Bright Moments 712 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,880 website, but with the full live view, etcetera. 713 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,360 Like I had to go to Openc or I had to go to Sansa and I 714 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,760 couldn't just kind of see everything in one place. 715 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,160 So now we have everything in one place and we can keep adding our 716 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,320 engine partners. In fact, right now any engine 717 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,240 partner that we've ever worked with is going to appear on 718 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:38,680 Sonset. And so that's middle term. 719 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,680 Also adding some features for collectors, for example, the 720 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,040 ability to render every single token that you've ever had at 721 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,200 whatever resolution or an animation, that's something that 722 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,440 Matt De Laurier actually built a really beautiful tool a couple 723 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,320 years back. And open source, you just kind 724 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,480 of like it was a website, you type in a token ID and you could 725 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,640 render your token. But like it's, it's amazing. 726 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,560 But like now we can do that at the token level for every single 727 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,640 thing that we've ever minted. And so ultimately what we're 728 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,800 trying to do is create more of a top down approach where we 729 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,480 provide an infrastructure layer and then everybody, whether 730 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,360 you're a collector, whether you're an engine partner or 731 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,400 whether you are a creator benefits from that 732 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,320 infrastructure. I mean, look, the only place I 733 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,160 know to go send a token is open C Like if I need to go transfer 734 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,880 an NFT, I'm going to open C It's 2024. 735 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,080 Y'all. I just don't understand in 2024 736 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,440 that we don't have AI mean. Maybe there's a couple avenues 737 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,640 to do that, but like that's just not a standard practice. 738 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,360 We will implement token sending on the Sansa website so you can 739 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,560 send your token to your vault instead of having to like exit 740 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,080 the platform. You know, looking at what 741 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,160 loyalty kind of reward programs look like when everything is all 742 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:54,240 under one roof, and then finally adding minting functionality. 743 00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:57,240 You know, right now we've had 50 engine partners roughly and 744 00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,360 every single one of them had to build their own minting 745 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,680 functionality into their website. 746 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,480 And that's great because I think a lot of partners need to have a 747 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,600 bespoke website. They need to kind of have their 748 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,120 own experience that's branded. But a lot of people just want to 749 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,640 experiment with the generative medium. 750 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,160 And I want our box to be a hub for creativity and innovation 751 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,080 and experimentation. And that means investing in the 752 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,720 creative side, maybe investing in some marketing, but not 753 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:23,920 investing in all the technology that you need just to offer 754 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,160 someone a mint button. So the mint button is something 755 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,200 that we've kind of built, we kind of for in, in some ways 756 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,120 kind of invented it within this ecosystem. 757 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,160 And that mint button has become incredibly commoditized. 758 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,320 There's a bunch of competition. There's really great platforms 759 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,800 out there and we're more and more leaning into just making 760 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:44,440 that a recognizable kind of unit within our ecosystem that that 761 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,440 people will hopefully recognize as like you know, this is our 762 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,120 Prox minting and this is the R Prox purchase flow. 763 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,640 So I mean just that's just a few things off the top of my head 764 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,640 that that will. It's great. 765 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,640 And there's more. There's a lot more to it. 766 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,840 I mean, that's awesome. I mean you kind of touched on 767 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,000 that, but maybe I'll ask more specifically like, like how does 768 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,800 this acquisition of Sansa contribute to like the future of 769 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,640 our blogs, right. Like I know you just said for 770 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,720 example, like it's a one stop shop, one place to view your 771 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:18,200 collection, finally transfer your assets without having to go 772 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,520 through open. CI had to do that like 2 days 773 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,440 ago and it was such a hassle. I'm not going to lie, like it's 774 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,000 just absurd how crazy this is. But you know, like how does this 775 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,360 exactly contribute to the future, right? 776 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,280 Like what comes now? OK, you're quite Sansa. 777 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,200 Whoa. I just saw the decrypt article. 778 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,320 Just go live now. I'm going to. 779 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,280 I'm going to pin it. But you know, what do you what 780 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,120 do you what? What does that mean for the 781 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,560 future of art blocks in general? I mean a little bit of it is 782 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,640 just kind of getting back to a little bit of a Web 3 ethos. 783 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,920 I mean, you know we have art blocks dot IO which was created 784 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,880 originally. It was like, you know, a a 785 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,240 platform for hosting generative content on the Ethereum 786 00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:01,000 blockchain and it kind of had this breakout moment as a just 787 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,120 art platform. And that's one of my proudest 788 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,600 achievements. And I say that all the time, 789 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,840 like all the work that's on that platform is one of my favorite 790 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,320 things, one of the proudest things I'll ever do in my entire 791 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,240 life. And we in in response to the 792 00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:16,000 market conditions have increasingly reduced the cadence 793 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,080 of that and try to be more and more selective and in the 794 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,520 process of kind of just not really given a place to be a 795 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,840 platform for creative content on the Ethereum blockchain. 796 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,240 So what this does for the future of our blocks is expand and 797 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:33,240 enable us to kind of make it easier for people to participate 798 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:36,560 in the creative in the generative medium and hopefully 799 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,680 bring their own audience. Yeah, what we need is we need 800 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,360 more people. We need more people here to come 801 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,720 buy your bags. Like that's literally what we 802 00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,600 need more than anything in the world. 803 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:50,040 We have a a incredible group of patron collectors that have been 804 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,920 here studying the artists, supporting the artists, giving 805 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,920 feedback, buying the art, and they've been here from the very 806 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,240 beginning. They've they've only doubled 807 00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:00,560 down and reinforced their love for genitive art and digital art 808 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,520 in general. And I think what, what, what 809 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,240 would make us all feel more excited is to get more people in 810 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,360 and at the level of kind of what our blocks, what we call kind of 811 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,320 flagship or curated does like that's that's a high level, 812 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,000 that's expensive and it's, it's meant to be, you know, a little 813 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000 bit more exclusive. I'm not an exclusive person like 814 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,240 that's, you know, I've always been about all about inclusivity 815 00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,240 and trying to get stuff available and make it available 816 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,520 for people. So you know, this allows us to 817 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,960 have a little bit more breath. It allows us to facilitate 818 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,240 people to not necessarily sell to the same people, but 819 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,600 hopefully to sell to some new people, to attract some new 820 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,520 people. For artists maybe to be able to 821 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,440 self publish one day into their own collector base. 822 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,320 And I mean, in the end, Art Blocks is a platform that I 823 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,640 built out of a out of just, like, pure passion and a love 824 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,880 for the generative medium, but also like curiosity for 825 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,280 blockchain technology and how it intersects with that medium. 826 00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,400 And I'm just trying to get a little bit back to where that 827 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,680 started. And the platform is the Web 3 828 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,720 way, right? Like, optionality is the Web 3 829 00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:07,320 way. At the beginning, we'd always be 830 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,880 like, oh man, let's get rid of the middleman. 831 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,320 Well, no. I mean, the middleman serves a 832 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,280 really, really great purpose, especially in cutting through 833 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,120 the noise. But not everybody needs to cut 834 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,400 through the noise. So giving people optionality to 835 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,960 release themselves, giving people optionality to release 836 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,720 all the different flavors of all of our engine partners, You want 837 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:25,040 to mint in person, go talk to bright Moments. 838 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,080 They're amazing. You want to release on Artbox? 839 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,320 Apply to Artbox Flagship or Artbox dot IO, That's an amazing 840 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,320 experience as well. Optionality is what we're here 841 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,360 to give and that's what we're giving to everyone of our 842 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040 creators, collectors, partners and I really do think it sets 843 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:47,200 the stage for Artbox to be to to remain relevant, as generative 844 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,160 as a medium becomes a more commonplace term in the 845 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,680 household hopefully. That's awesome. 846 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,560 Seems like a pretty cool and great moment for for like you 847 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,840 know generative art art blocks in general here as you guys are 848 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,760 going to be able to aggregate all these collections in one 849 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,200 place. Question for you like for the 850 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,360 people that like we're using Art Blocks engine, how does that 851 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:05,400 work? Like are they going to be able 852 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,440 to be showcasing on there too? Yeah, yeah. 853 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:08,880 So they'll immediately appear on there. 854 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,600 So now all of everything that's ever been art blocks related 855 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,400 appears there. And optionally they can have. 856 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,720 I mean, we haven't finished integrating this, but optionally 857 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,680 they'll be able to have minting functionality within that page, 858 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,760 so they won't have to build it out themselves. 859 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,600 Now you may not want that. Like Art Blocks. dot IO spends 860 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,160 way too much effort creating content and articles and 861 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,560 interviews for us to let people mint and ignore all of that. 862 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,800 Like, the whole point is we want to explain what the artist's 863 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,720 message was and what the process was, and so allowing minting on 864 00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:44,280 on the Sansa website would kind of defeat the purpose. 865 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,360 And so R Block's flagship as or R Block's dot IO, if you kind of 866 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,480 want to pretend it's like an engine partner is going to 867 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,520 choose to exist within the sequel, it's going to exist all 868 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,960 the NFTS exist within the Sansa marketplace, but it's going to 869 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,760 choose to maintain minting, to exist just on the R box dot IO 870 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,200 website, which has been built out into this beautiful thing. 871 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,720 Every engine partner has that choice to make. 872 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,160 They can have it on their own site, they can have it on Sansa, 873 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,040 they can have it on both. And ultimately what we're trying 874 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,800 to do is just lower the barriers to entry to be able to release 875 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,040 generative content. Generative content in some ways 876 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,000 has become very homogenized. I don't know. 877 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:20,320 You know, it's it's just something that we've kind of 878 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,560 seen over time. You've got, you know, you had 879 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,960 100 generative creators 3 years ago, you have 10,000 generative 880 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,760 creators today. It's the most beautiful thing to 881 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,480 see that many people kind of find a creative side to them and 882 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,880 start getting into the generative medium. 883 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,080 And from those 10,000 we're going to get 205 hundred people 884 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,600 that are going to rise and blow our minds in the next few years. 885 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,560 But in the meantime, we also have this exploration of like 886 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,080 generative embroidery and generative goods, like this idea 887 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,440 that like a generative thing means that somebody, everybody, 888 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,960 can have something that's unique to them. 889 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,200 We've proven that at least in the very expensive PFP world, 890 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,200 like punks and pudgy Penguins, people are very interested in 891 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,520 being identified as an individual with the object that 892 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,560 represents. Them I identify as a squiggle. 893 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,600 Yes. And so in the physical space, it 894 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,000 just feels like maybe when things don't cost 5-10 a 895 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,280 $100,000, there is an example. Oh yeah, or a race or a race car 896 00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:16,600 guy. Yeah, not to flex. 897 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,360 On anyone you know not try not to flex on anyone, but Eric 898 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,680 gifted me that in Austin. You got a good one, man. 899 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,640 And so yeah, I think there's an opportunity here to really kind 900 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,880 of lean into what the generative medium looks like. 901 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:36,000 And it it to me it it feels very well powered by blockchain 902 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,760 technology, by the provenance and all that. 903 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,640 And you know as we do this, we're going to, we're going to 904 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,320 double down on the Ethereum ecosystem, the the EBM 905 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,160 ecosystem. This is there's just so much 906 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,320 exciting stuff happening, especially as we have the 907 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,320 ability to expand into multiple L twos. 908 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,520 The minting experience, if Y'all haven't minted on arbitrary on 909 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,840 prohibition, it is a really, really awesome experience, 910 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,840 especially coming from years of paying a bunch of money on gas 911 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,480 and waiting a bunch of minutes I guess for like a transaction to 912 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,520 clear. And yeah, I think there's just 913 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,840 like so much opportunity within those ecosystems and we're 914 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,640 excited to kind of double down and and keep exploring in in in 915 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,880 the EVF space. I love that. 916 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,120 This is freaking awesome. You have no idea how like our VP 917 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,360 of Creator has been who founded audio galleries. 918 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,240 He's like in my DMS right now, like ecstatic. 919 00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:20,640 Like he's screaming to me on WhatsApp. 920 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,440 That's awesome. He's literally, I wish I could 921 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,120 share my screen. He's like screaming in the form 922 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,520 of writing. There's like. 923 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,720 Maybe all caps? Yeah, it's ALL caps LFG 7 924 00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:35,280 exclamation points and wow 12 exclamation points. 925 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,080 And AMAZING IN ALL CAPS 4 exclamation points because he 926 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,800 uses R Block's engine right to power what he does. 927 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,040 For like, it's going to be a lot easier. 928 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,600 It's just going to be a lot easier. 929 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,680 Also the lift, right? Because he was just telling me 930 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,800 this would have cost him like $10,000 minimum to build on his 931 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,400 own. That's his words, not. 932 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,320 Mine. Look, the dream is that those 933 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,360 platforms get to a point where they then want to build it out, 934 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,920 right? But it just feels like we're 935 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,600 asking people to invest in three things. 936 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,640 We're asking people to invest in the content, the creative 937 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,120 content. We're asking people to invest in 938 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,440 the marketing because you have to get your word out there and 939 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,800 we're asking people to invest in this technology and a bigger 940 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,400 brand comes in. They should absolutely just do 941 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,280 that from start. But if you just have an idea as 942 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,600 an entrepreneur, and I'm coming from the entrepreneur, the 943 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,000 innovation side, like sometimes you just want to test the 944 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,440 waters, You want to try something out. 945 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,440 It's it's the the generative distribution mechanism is is I 946 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,240 think a revolutionary process of giving people things that are 947 00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:29,080 unique to them. Let's at least take one of those 948 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,840 barriers down and not have to invest in all of this tech. 949 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,560 If you just want to try something out and make it a 950 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,320 little bit easier for people to kind of tinker. 951 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:41,280 And again, all it takes is one or two of those ideas to not be 952 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,440 catered or marketed to our community, but to be catered and 953 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,200 marketed to their own audience. One big brand that like gets 954 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,400 their brand excited. I, you know, my dream is like 955 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,200 Swatch has a generative thing and like you meant to Swatch. 956 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:53,520 And like Swatch makes you this watch. 957 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,040 And everybody's sharing in Discord their Swatch when they 958 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,600 get it in the mail. Like it just seems so clear to 959 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,200 me that like that is something that would get a bunch of watch 960 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,840 nerds excited, or at least Swatch nerds. 961 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,640 Because I know some watch nerds are much much higher price point 962 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,040 sorts. Of Watch nerds on CT. 963 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,240 Yeah. So I feel like, I mean just like 964 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,080 all it takes is one or two of those things to introduce a new 965 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,480 audience to all of the stuff that we're sitting here talking 966 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,160 about every day. And that's a a, a, a task I've 967 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,600 imposed upon myself last year to get as many new people, to get 968 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,320 as many new eyes. Not necessarily based on 969 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,520 scarcity, not necessarily based on FOMO, although in some cases 970 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,320 that is kind of how things operate around here. 971 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,560 But based on like a a proving that there is value in the 972 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,680 digital object beyond that. And I think that that with you 973 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,680 know, eventually custody wallets, credit card 974 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,440 integration, account abstraction, all these different 975 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,040 things will eventually lead us to to a better place. 976 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,760 And then you know maybe my bold prediction of 2026 Apple adds A 977 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,800 crypto wallet to the phone, but that you know is delusional 978 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,680 probably. But like that, that is actually 979 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,200 kind of what would just change everything for everybody in like 980 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:00,680 the in the blink of an eye. Yeah. 981 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,200 We just got a prediction from snowfall. 982 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,400 That's rare 2026 Apple adding a a digital wallet to its to its 983 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,440 devices. You'll have to see that I'm. 984 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,240 I also think this is something that's going to happen. 985 00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:13,560 It's some it's inevitable right? This revolution is just. 986 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,760 So at least by 2036, but 2026 would be really great if. 2036, 987 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:18,920 that's too far. That's too easy. 988 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,240 Snow fro, that's too easy. But 2026 is a nice call. 989 00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:24,240 I like it. I mean, Eric, congratulations on 990 00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:28,560 everything, you know, excited to see you in Paris, I think. 991 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,040 Oh yeah. Well, we're going to see each 992 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,440 other in Paris. Are we playing poker? 993 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,240 Poker. Sure. 994 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:34,840 I would love to play some poker with you guys. 995 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,240 All right. Yeah, that sounds awesome. 996 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,880 Let's. Do it. 997 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,360 Let's do it. Let's do it. 998 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,000 Let's do us four. We're on Paris. 999 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,320 Let's add a few of the folks that are listening. 1000 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,800 There's a lot of friends listening down there, I'm sure 1001 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,600 are poker players. So we should organize a little 1002 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,040 something. I feel like, I feel like we're 1003 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,960 walking into a trap here. Like, have you been playing 1004 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,800 poker like this religiously for? Been like 12 years since I 1005 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,840 played, but I did. I did play a lot of, I did play 1006 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,440 a lot of poker. But one day we need to have a 1007 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,320 squiggle as a prize for a poker tournament. 1008 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,880 I think that would be pretty. Let's do it. 1009 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,360 Get 100 people in on that thing and do pretty fun. 1010 00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,640 That could be. I mean, yeah, we. 1011 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,480 Could I'll bring the squiggle, you bring the 100 people and 1012 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,080 we'll do a tournament. Perfect. 1013 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,040 You, you have a deal. You have a deal. 1014 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,800 I'll bring 100 people. And trust me, between us, we can 1015 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,480 bring 100 people easy. And you, can you just bring this 1016 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,600 quiggle? We're set. 1017 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,720 Perfect. I love that. 1018 00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:22,520 Eric, thank you so much for coming this morning. 1019 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,960 Congratulations to you, to art blocks, and to honestly everyone 1020 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,520 like that's in a generative art space. 1021 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:28,520 Like this is a really big moment. 1022 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,000 So Congrats.

All right. 1032 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,280 Well, that was fun. Big day. 1033 00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,240 What did I do? Hold on. 1034 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,440 Oh, there it is. Big day, big day. 1035 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,400 In the words of Barry Silbert, you know, we had that, you know, 1036 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,520 Jupiter happening, our blocks happening. 1037 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,120 That was that was fun. I love that. 1038 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,000 This is really cool. You love to see this. 1039 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,000 I love M&A in the space. Used to talk about this a lot 2 1040 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,640 years ago actually. I remember that tweet like all 1041 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,320 these M and as in the space is going to happen within two 1042 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,480 years. Like it's happening right now. 1043 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,760 2425 is going to be the year where like a lot of companies 1044 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,960 merged together, like get acquired but within WEP 3, which 1045 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,960 is cool to see, not Web 2 acquiring Web 3, it's just like 1046 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,520 Web 3 acquiring Web Three. I don't know, I kind of I I like 1047 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,280 that. It feels good.
