Games Rule Top of Sales Charts | Do Apes Need to be in Museums? | Rolling Stone Says Your NFTs are Worthless |

Welcome back to another episode of NFT catcher podcast. We'd like to remind everybody that nothing on the show is meant as financial advice and to please do your own research. Thank you and enjoy the show. Now the subject is NFT. They're known as non-fungible tokens or NFT. These are floating in popularity. This is a technology that will ever change the way people interact. So it is happening whether you understand it and like it or not. You have now joined Jenny from the blockchain and Michael Keane on the NFT catcher podcast. What's up everyone? And welcome back to another episode of the NFT catcher podcast with me, Jenny from the blockchain and my co-host Michael Keane. Today's Sunday recap is me and Michael just talking about what has happened in the past week in the NFT space. Actually on Wednesday, it was international NFT day. So let's kind of claim this our international NFT week episode, I guess. So yeah, happy international NFT day, everybody. If you didn't celebrate, it was on September 20th. Michael, how's your week been? It's been good. It's been good. The weekend. It's long weekend here in South Florida. We have off from school tomorrow, today Sunday night. So with the kids, we would swim in, doing all kinds of stuff. Tomorrow's the beach. So nice. Yeah, it's been a family weekend. Yeah, go ahead. I thought about you today earlier when I was stretching. I was stretching and I was like, I thought about you. Yeah, because I usually always like my hot yoga. And I'm like, hmm, I wonder what stretching would be like in the burning, you know, burning sauna. Like, yeah, it's even better. It's even better. You could stretch so much more. Really? You stretch more or you see more flexible. You're more flexible in the heat. Yep. It loses up your muscles. Yep. I'm on a streak. Now literally six weeks from when we got back from our like vacation at the beginning of August, I am six weeks every single day. I've been in there every single day. Wow. That's that is a amazing because I was reading. I like to lay out by the pool and read and I was reading the compound effect, which is like book I'm currently reading. And it was talking about building habits. So saying like, first of all, it takes three weeks to kind of, you know, develop a habit to where it feels a little more routine. And but then it was talking about how hard it is to break a habit. But anyways, habits are habits are hard, but you kind of are supposed to start out like small steps and work your way up to stuff. But what kind of motivated you to just like go all in and start doing hot yoga like every single day? Well, I'll tell you what motivated me. Honestly, we were at Vcon. It was awesome. Had so much fun. All our friends, you know, hanging out and partying. But I was like bigger than I've ever been. My clothes didn't feel gray. They were thin gray and everything. And I was drinking soda. And I just, I just didn't want to do that. And that was real. That was a lot of the motivation when I came home from that. I was just like, I need to at least start losing weight. That is just started going really well. And then I just got really into it. And here I am now. So did you start with the yoga and then naturally you started wanting to eat healthier or like, well, I stopped drinking soda right away. That's like, when I came over from Vcon, I just stopped drinking so because I know that's my worst thing. Yeah. And I've done yoga in the past. So I went back to yoga, which just was, it was nice. And I just, you start getting better every day, get a little better now. I'm like, I look really clear. It's in my poses are like better. Oh, you're like a gym days. So I got flight. But like eventually, eventually, I'd like to, I mean, you know, keep going and going. I know I'm going to get better and better if I can really stick with it. That's amazing. Yeah. I love that for you. That's, that's incredible. And there's no better time than now, right? It's like passes the past. A lot of people have bad habits, but you just got to focus on what you can, right? You are where you are right now, you can't help that no matter what you do or think. So wherever you are right at this moment, you know, there was a lot of people that Vcon have been motivating that guy that that was on the stage right before you rock it. I mean, he did, he lost more weight than I lost, you know what I mean? And like, I was like, Dan, that guy just just go do it. And if you just do it every day and just keep going and going and going. And you feel good too. Like, but like, I'm here. You are the better you feel. Like it's honestly like amazing. Like it's definitely an unlock. It's a level up. Yeah. And like swimming with my kids that I met just with my kids, we went for like an hour. I was like climbing it out of the pool, chasing them, we're jumping everywhere. Like, so I really probably couldn't have done that for so long before. That's awesome. So your kids are like pumps. Yeah, they are for sure. Hey, anything it's funny. All right. Well, we'll get into NFTs here. Yeah, let's get into some NFTs stuff. We do got so we couldn't do a lot of topics today. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of stuff to go over. So, uh, Machi's proposal passed. We tried to see like it would. Yeah. Uh, it's 16 million ape tokens in favor, 4.1 million to those were his. Oh, wow. Okay. And there were 8.6 million voted against. So even without his, it was going to pass. But he got it to go through. So whatever, there's going to be this new token, the damn token, people are going to be trying to buy it. It's probably going to go up and first. Right. And he was going to control it on. He doesn't have any. I'm sure. Oh, yeah, his people have some for sure. Right. I'm sure he's got nothing to do it in any way. Just complete philanthropy for this. No, I do know that he's doing for sure. As far as complete philanthropy is all he's here. He's just a nice guy. Yeah. Help people out. Yeah. Come on, everybody. How could there be 8 million voted against it? I mean, if there is a bunch of, if this, you know, he does end up putting a bunch of NFTs in museums, like, I would love to see that. Like, that would be cool to see. Sure. That would be cool. And yeah, I don't know where that what museums that would be at. But if that starts happening, like, I mean, I've always been, I go to museums a lot and not a lot, but I like to try to go when I visit somewhere new and obviously you really only see physical or you don't really see digital. Like, I never see digital. So I don't know how that would work with an NFT art. Like, would it be digital or would it be, I guess it would have to be digital. It would be digital. I'm pretty sure. So have you seen Rafi, Rafiq, Anadal, who we spoke about the few weeks ago, who does the AI and NFTs. He has a Rafiq. I think it's at MoMA. Let me look. He has a huge display. Oh, Jasmine was talking about MoMA. Modern Museum of Art in New York. Yeah. It's called unsupervised. And it's like this huge moving AI, like, beautiful thing. Ed's digital. Oh, look at. Yeah. So I get, I mean, digital art will be there. But like, you know, like, you could all, like, Machi could have brought together six people with beautiful apes and accomplish the same thing, just landing their apes to museums. Yeah, or whatever apes. I don't want to see apes in museums. I want to see something. He's going to have, but he's doing all you think it's like more than half you gassets. Oh, yeah, obviously, I guess that would make the most sense, but it's just you gassets. It's going to be more than half you gassets. It's not going to be like beautiful, but I mean, well, that's not like super cool art, but, you know, whatever. It's weird. But it passed. We'll see. I mean, I guess it's a drop in the bucket to the down. I just like, what could you do with $11 million? You could like, you could, or I really thought about it, but you could do a lot. Yeah, we talked about this last week. You were saying, um, wait, I, because I asked what would you do with $11 million? You said, you would like adopt a bunch of kids or something or like foster you said, didn't you say if I, uh, if I had to spend a bunch of money on it, yeah, if we were like one thing, one thing, yeah, right. It would be helping the kids that are in the foster system. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So when you're a foster parent, do you, because you only get the kid for like a, like a short period of time, right? Here's how it works. When you go, so you basically give like what you're kind of looking for. They want to know ages, sibling groups, the amount of kids, um, and everyone's looking for something different. Some people are looking for long term. Some people are looking for foster to adopt. And then you put all your parameters in what you're looking for. And, but it's not like, uh, Amazon where it's like pick, you know, you can pick off the shelves. It's whatever horrible situation happens to come across. And if you're next in line, they'll ask you if you're willing to take the child. And literally I, I say, we went through it a lot. It's kind of like baby roulette. When you're going there and you're picking up a kid, you don't know if that kid's coming to your house for 24 hours for six months or for 18 years. Literally. What? Wait, you don't know that? I thought that you could give a preference for time. Now, you can, but the every situation is so different. If you get a kid in your house, you're only wanting to do for one year. You're not going to, um, most people are not going to like send a kid somewhere else, but that does happen. There are families that want to foster and not adopt. And there are kids that sadly have to move from house to house. There are bad situations because foster parents get paid. So they're, it's an amazing, you know, there's amazing people to do it. But there's also have been horrible situations with it because there is money to be made and people foster kids and they, you know, like that, that can get messy sometimes. And you know, there's been problems, other kind of problems. But it's, it's a really, really horrible situation for, you know, for everybody for the kids, for the parents, a lot of times it's big sibling groups. There might be groups of six or seven all spread out between like ages one and 15. And it's not, it's not right to separate them. You know, you like, because, because they want to be together and they care about each other and they take care of each other. Right. There's a, it's, it's really rough and to see it. It can be a real heartbreaking. That's interesting. Yeah, because I always thought it would be kind of cool to like be a foster parent for like, but I see I'm kind of, I was kind of thinking you'd be cool to do the thing where you're kind of like, oh, it's kind of messed up. If you're only like, take them in for like a year and then they have to go somewhere else. Because I, I don't know, like, otherwise, you're just going to be in the foster care anyway. So like, there's also teens that have a hard time getting placed. They're in group homes. Right. A lot of that. But they also come with issues in the road a lot of times. Some are amazing. But you know, they grew up in a really hard life. Like being really at the kids, no matter what the parents do or have done, they're in prison, whatever, the kids always idolize the parents. Yeah. That's what they tell us. And we definitely see that. It's, it's pretty well. We're lucky enough to have good relationships with all three of the birth mothers for our kids, which is really cool. That's good. And they're all nice. And they all love each other a lot of them. And it's, it's really, it's a nice, it's a nice setup. Do they like see them and everything? Yeah. Yeah. We get together. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, we get together. One's over in Tampa. We drive over there once or twice a year. We have a couple of local. Well, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah. That's, I mean, that's great. Yeah. I just feel like it'd be, I don't know, cool to kind of make a, I don't know, be able to have a positive impact, even if it was just for a short period of time, because I remember when my aunt did that and I was living with her and she took in like a teenager that was like about to turn 18. So, yeah. Obviously, then she was about to be an adult. And you know, she was obviously really like troubled and everything. But it was like, it was cool. Like to just be able to like kind of spend some time with her and, you know, she had a rough life, but be able to like have fun and like do fun things and like just like do positive fun stuff. Sure, that other things are possible. Give her, give her a glimpse into, you know, their possibility way to live, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Definitely. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of opportunity for that for sure. Okay. Yeah. Let's, let's keep going. Sorry. I'm just like, damn, we're making this not an NFT pod today. Interesting stuff. I, that's a lot of my, I don't know, like getting a little person like that and talking, because it's really, it, it was interesting journey. And it's, and there needs to be light shining on it too. People should think about, you know, it's anybody that would think about fostering. It's not that difficult to get certified as long as obviously it could be as like FBI background checks and all. And, oh, shit. Did you background shining everything? Oh, yeah. Of course. What did you have a criminal record? Well, then you're probably not going to be doing it. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, Jenny. Was that that tax evasion? The SEC came in. But if you just been arrested, which I haven't been to jail, does that? That, that thing, though, probably the person for a French, asking for a friend. Yeah. Is there like, was it like a misdemeanor on your record? Yeah, misdemeanor. I think you ended up getting your motives. This is so long ago, but public and toxication or something. I cannot speak on it. But, uh, yeah, I just regrets, you know, yeah, stealing makeup from Sephora. No, I'm actually never, I've never been in the shoplifting. I know that's a kind of popular thing amongst young people. I've never been to that. Yeah. Yeah. Like all tick tock and stuff. Like people will like brag about like shoplifting. Like, yeah, young kids and stuff. Like it's the thrill of like getting away with doing something and getting something for free without having to pay. I don't know. Oh my god. That's amazing. Why does like stores in the major cities are closing like big giant stores because people are stealing stuff from them. Right. Yeah. I like sketch locations and there's like closing around the splomer now. Yeah, pretty much. All right. Let's see. So I looked into what I didn't look into, but Ali, our old friend Nioh used to be the artist formerly known as Nioh Sporen. Oh, yeah. So he messaged me with this nice tweet talking about what D market is on the mythos chain that keeps coming up. That was number one last week in the sales volume. And it's this game. Have you ever heard of counter strike global offensive CS go? Yes, actually. I heard it. It's the marketplace for their skins and weapons and stuff. Yeah. Got it. So I tried to download it and log in. But it wasn't that the capture wasn't working for me. I was doing that the same afternoon just to see if I could like play a little bit and see what was up. But that's what it is. So counter strikeable offensive. I mean, we always talk about Web 3 gaming. That seems to be doing pretty well at the moment. I've definitely heard of CS go. I didn't know that that was where you could go to like sell skins and stuff. Yes. And whatnot. Yeah. No wonder it's top in the charts. I know. That kind of means gaming is that that kind of means that gaming is like taking over Web 3 a bit, right? Sure. I mean, like gaming. And do you consider like draft Kings Rainmaker's gaming? Because like, that's where the volume is these days. It's so rare. Draft Kings. CS go. You know, there's not a ton on Ethereum. Of course, because in the gas and everything, but the high volume stuff. I don't know if I'd say gaming's taking over Web 3, but I think it's making a bit of an impact. I think I think it's coming and coming. Did you hear about one of these guys called the Pirate? Let me find this real quick. Pirate Nation. Proof of play. They got funded $33 million if you heard about. When did this happen? Just recently. It's only Google pulled out. 33 million recently. Yeah. Like something in Web 3. Like a week ago. Proof of play. It's in Web 3. Yeah. Let's see. What's that? Play a Web 3 gaming startup led by Farmville's co-creator. I'm it. Yeah. I remember that. That Facebook like farm game or yet as a care of the animals and all this stuff. That's hilarious. Oh, and listen to this. This is good. I'm glad we're doing this. I think the things running out. Proof of play led by Farmville's co-creator. Mahajan, who we could try and get on. He was on call through with Captain announced this week the company successfully secured $33 million in funding to begin developing new games of Vera Way from the play to earn gaming infrastructure. They're calling it proof of play and their first game is that Pirate Nation. And I think that there is a re-open addition happening right now. Let me look this up. There is open addition happening that we should try and get. Oh, it's free. Oh, yeah. That wasn't even on my list, Pirate Nation. But since we started talking about Web 3 gaming and they are, I mean, that's a huge raise in this day and age. When was the last time someone raised that much? Yeah. I don't think it may be doodles or something. Yeah. I know. We were talking about Machi raising a lot. But that's only $11 million. You're right, dude. It's $33 for Pirate Nation for Proof of Play. So check that out. That's pretty cool. They're doing cool stuff. Next up, Nakamegos, I could jump out a window on this one. Oh, snap a doodle there, man. So there was that three-hour mint window where you could get one free for each. And I knew it was coming out day, but I didn't set your reminders on my phone. And I just got busy. And then I went and I was out picking up food for dinner and I was getting ready to cook. And I picked up my kiss from school and I just missed the stinking mint window. And I want to have six free ones and the floor is 0.11 at this point. I'm going to sold them, Pirate. I know. Sorry. I rage sold three of my Nakamegos. Yeah. I rage sold to you and I'm going to go. Yeah. That sucks. I mean, when you forget something, I don't blame anybody. It's totally my fault. Yeah. Three hour mint. It's kind of like people complaining about the three-hour window. I'm not going to complain about that. Like I will take four responsibility. I knew about it. I shouldn't have better reminders set. I know that I'm too much of a stoner to Hey, you win some you know, you can't win everything every time. So totally, totally. And I just blame myself. So I'll win. You know, it is what it is. But they're doing they're doing pretty well. Like it's pretty funny that the Nakamegos is 0.2 and the closer 0.11. So like you wouldn't have to think that it's such a high percentage. But there's more to these and there I think there's commercial rights and I think there's like each of my different powers and they're like working through some kind of game. Like they could like what if they come out like we're fortnight or whatever. You know, they need like something like that. I love to miss them. Right. Uh-huh. But now I only have three left. I definitely rage sold three of them. Yeah. I always I was like, love this project. Yeah, yeah. I just wish you had the only thing the only reason I sell all six is because as soon as I do, I know they're going to 10 ether something. Yeah. The second I'm out, the second I'm out, they're going to, they're going to blow. So. Well, you got to just keep one at least. But two is good because then you can sell three. Well, I three. Yeah, that's good. I have three for the moment. We'll see what happens. But I didn't buy any of the cloaks. I'm feeding, I'm feeding the cloaks head. Yeah. I hear mad about them now. So you're not going to buy any. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ugly ass cloaks. I know. Screw those cloaks. I know. I probably would have hit like the most rare one. Oh, what a nightmare. What a nightmare. You brought up a clubhouse before the show. So my one of my oldest buddies from clubhouse, Aaron Haber. Do you ever hear me mention him before? I'm going to talk about comedy. He started a comedy metaverse blowboard. It's like a comedy club under the board apial club. He's. That's. Yeah. Aaron Avery's like, he's like, he's like, he's been a comedian for a long time. Radic. Rad a real life comedy club. He's been like in the comedy scene. I used to host clubhouse rooms. Good buddy. We were actually chatting the other day. But he has his project below board. They came out like a year ago, minted. I think they minted like a thousand of them or two thousand of them or something. And he has this metaverse built where it's token gated. It's the. The Monaverse. You know, Mona. They're metaverse. Mona. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't know until his project. But it's cool. It's cool. It's a really nice big, huge space with all kinds of rooms and artwork and things to do. And they are hosting this week, the 27th, 28th and 29th, a three night standup comedy event for Apes of Mutants Only. He's air dropping tickets to everyone's one. It's working with token proof. And it's. It's supported by the 8th council. So it's the first ever. He said, he's going to. He said, at the very least, I'm going to be a trivia question because on the first ever, let me see how he put it the first ever metaverse event to get a grant from the the AYC council. That's awesome. Yeah. So I don't know who the acts are or anything like that. But yeah, it should be a good time. And I got a ticket. He's going to air drop me a ticket. I'm going to come in. But you have to be in April. I'm sure. So I'm not invited. Wow. I'm 100%. Do you want to do you want a ticket, Jenny? I will. It's fine. Wait. It's it's it's IRL something in real life. No, no, no, it's a metaverse thing. Oh, I see. Yeah. So it's a comedy. But like you can also depending on how close this stage you are, you was talking about this like that committee can hear you and you can laugh and things like that. What? Yeah. And it's like spatial where if you go far away, they can't hear you. You can go to other rooms and see you have to have your mic on. That's so interesting. You don't have to. I mean, you can eat your mic. Yep. That's actually really cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. He's doing some cool stuff. Aaron's a good dude. He's building for the right. He's one of those guys that's building. And he's doing something really cool. And he's keeping it going. And like, even doing something like this is neat, hopefully get some eyes on it. I don't want to invite him on the pod. I will invite him on the pod. That's a good idea. Yep. 100%. Aaron's a good he's a good conversationalist. Well, I love good stuff to talk about. Okay. That's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Totally. Aaron's a little kind of stuff. All right. I love it. I'm going to invite him. Oh, listen, he's going to be listening to this because I told him I was going to bring up. Is he? Oh, shoot. Let's go. I hope so. I told him I was going to bring up the project. So maybe he won't maybe won't we'll see. We'll see. Shout out. Aaron's the old friend. We're going to try it. We're going to try and do that. All right. That's called board silly, by the way. The event his his project is below board. The event is called board silly. Well, Clack B-O-R-A-D, of course. Yeah. So everyone check it out. All right. MLB.Eath, sold for only half an ETH with 13 months left on the registration. That's so low. I don't know what happened there, but. Yeah. I mean, you know what that reminds me, though, is that this is actually. No, no, no. I was just going to say this is a good reminder that if you have an ENS name registered. Oh, you need to look to get it. Yeah. Make sure if, you know, because for me, mine's five. Mine just registered for five years. But I'm so always conscious of that. Because if it expires, the registration expires, it goes back on the market and somebody else can freaking register your ENS. And there's bots watching. There's bots watching. Totally. So make sure you extend it. I mean, you could even extend it while, you know, it doesn't have to be up. You know, this time is up for you to like, you could just continue to extend it. And I mean, I don't think it's all that much gas. But obviously the the longer you extend it, the more money it costs. But it's not like a crazy amount. Like it's like, it's decently affordable. I think it's like, I don't know. It's probably like 20 bucks for five years. I want to say I can't say for sure. But, um, but yeah. So just keep that in mind, folks, because I know a lot of people like two years ago were really into, you know, the ENS names. And so I just want to remind people about that. When I saw your, um, topic note, yeah, yeah, that's good. That's, that's really a point. Uh, the price is very, if it's a shorter one, they get very expensive. Uh, Ali Ali dot, he was telling me he's probably going to let his expire, because it's point two, he's the year to register it. Oh, wow. Okay. I know. I don't know. Yeah. You're lucky. You have a long one. Yeah. Jenny, the blogging is like, the freaking longest name ever. So, yeah. Did you see the Yut's rebrand? The Yut's rebrand. I nod. Yeah, rebranded with like these different colors and different like fonts and there's a good new thing. I don't know what they're, you know, it's just a rebrand. And they're calling it that. I guess we're in the rebrand meta. You've heard that. So that everybody's rebranding. Yeah. Yeah. And if he got a rebranded. I think he kind of started that. Yeah. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. And now, like, the man, I, I'm seeing like these Twitter rooms and it's just people talking to each other about how to get engagement on Twitter. That I'm just like, I don't know about that. Right. Cause it's like, you know, uh, so there's always going to be the people that are following like, that are chasing the algorithm and trying to really like maximize engagement and they're really like looking at Twitter as like a business in a way where they're, and then there's the people that are like, I just want to have fun and I just want to interact with my friends and I just wanted to be more chill. And I don't want it to be so serious. So it's like, and I feel like those two types of people are always conflicting. And I totally understand both sides of it. Cause I've been on the like, you know, when I was a tick tocker for a living, like, I was on that side of things, the business side of it where it's like, okay, if that's how you're making a living, like, you're totally looking at it like that. But now I feel like I'm more on the, I mean, for Twitter, like, I definitely am on like the fun side of it. Like, I don't really care. Like if people see my tweets or whatever, like, trying to engage in bait or whatever it is. But I, but I understand that. I totally understand that. And yeah, if you're really trying to maximize engagement, you do kind of have to be a bit of a slave to the algorithm. Like, it sounds like, yeah, my Twitter is so dead. Like I literally get like, like I eat pork buns and glitch, who's actually a local buddy of mine who I see around town. Uh, those like the two people that like, they must have notifications on for me. Cause I like the two people that like my tweets every now and then I'll get like 15 or 20 likes. And that'll be like huge for one of my tweets. Oh, it's funny because I kind of don't see your tweets. I guess I need to start engaging with you. But Andy's, I always see Andy's tweets. Like I'm like, I think I'm Andy's number one fan. Like I always like, yeah. So anyway, our producer Andy, that's who I'm talking about. Yeah. But yeah, and he is not like super popular or anything. So I'm just like, now, like the first like, how dare you say that's funny. I don't know. I don't see this stuff. My, my Twitter, it's embarrassing. Like, I don't even know why I post anymore. I just have to be like, it's fine. I'm not embarrassing. No, I'm not. I don't really care. But like, it's just like, it's just things that there's so much out there. It's just not picking me up. But I'm still meeting people. I was added to do a message group called the wag mi cabal TM. It's trademark. So it says the wag mi cabal. That's us. Yeah. I was going to be added to a cabal. That's a, it's a, it's a, it's a bunch of, uh, who pep and people. I don't know why I was at it. It's like 200 of pep and people. I don't know what they're talking about. They're talking a lot. So I was, but I was, I was just joking. I don't mean like, I was randomly get out of the groups and you're like, what the heck? Like, I kind of hate when people do that. Leave without that. That is what I have for a year. I know. Yeah. And it shows when you leave. It's like Jennifer suit a lot. Exactly what I was going to say. That's it shows, it doesn't need to show when you leave, right? Yeah. I had been in groups way too long, like for fear of like, maybe, but recently, I've just been like, fuck it. And I've like left some groups and and I don't even care. Like, I just don't want this to always be because when you're in the top. Oh, always. And then there's so many messages. And I don't have notifications on or anything. But it's like, whenever I go on Twitter, it's like, oh, it's always there. And I'm like, I don't even care about this. You're wise. It always. I'm a kind of a couple like that. Not the one I'm in with you if you're the, if anybody, if you're listening. I know. I'm only in a few now, which I like. I'm in some doodles ones, but you're cool. But I don't chat much. I'm not a huge chatter. Like, I'm more of like a silent behind the scenes reader that just reads. And then that's it. Like, but yeah, I'm a lurker, I guess. Yeah. I mean, it's how you kind of keep up on what's going on. And when you know things are breaking, just being on Twitter and in our space, at least. Yeah, for sure. We do have some bad news this week. Rolling stone. Let us know it. You know, it's over. I think is this might have to be a last episode. Let's go home. And if he's dead, their research tells them that 95% of all NFTs are basically worthless. It's funny because everyone like outside of the NFT space is like, oh, oh, my God. I knew it. Like blah, blah. You know, they're kind of shocked by that. And everyone in the NFC space is like, what else is new? Like, that's not news to us. Yeah, that is right. Yeah, we know that. And also, it's just interesting because it's just, of course, 95% are, you know, worth less than, I don't know, points are one. It only makes sense. That's like saying, like, oh, 95% of YouTube content creators, you know, don't make money. Exactly. Exactly. Focus on the winners. Like, most people, and it's like average people, like average people are, you know, not great. Like, so you can't be extraordinary. Like, everyone's extraordinary. Like, obviously, it's only going to be the top percent. So the same with NFT projects, like, yes, the top five percent are the ones that are actually worth it. You just focus on those. Like, nobody's seeing them other ones that are worthless. But, yeah. And it's just, it's the same as most other collectibles, baseball cards, 95% are worthless, you know, probably freaking 99%. It's clicking. Rolling stone to the job. Rolling stones turned into a horrible. It's a shame. What's happening? Rolling stone. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. But they got what they got what they bargained for. They got a lot of clicks and everyone's talking about it. Oh, yeah. That's all it is. Like these news outlets, like, they're, they just post-holderizing extreme, like, things to, like, illicit reactions. That's all they have to. Because everyone's so desensitized too. Like, they're just, like, nothing shocks anybody anymore. Like, you really have to be extreme. There's something to, like, catch your attention. Yeah. Yeah. And stuff comes and goes so fast. It's just, like, yeah, it's hard to catch people's attention. The last time I heard about Rolling Stone is when they had board apes on the cover. Oh, shoot. Wait, they have on the cover. Like, oh, they're like, yeah. Well, they sold them and people have them. Board ape Rolling Stone cover. I do remember when I was a popular magazine, like, growing up, Rolling Stone magazine. Oh, yeah. I loved Rolling Stone. Yeah. It was a limited edition magazine. So I think board apes are okay. Oh, okay. Well, that's really cool. Yeah. I do remember, that's funny because they're involved in a season and they're like, broken, jabbing. I know. It's just whatever. But we'll show them when we get back in the bull run. Right. And what we've been saying all along and pretty, it's just like blockchain, the technology is still crushing. It's still moving along. Still doing all kinds of really cool stuff. And the PFPs, all those crazy things that people were dropping, like crazy, just they just say, you know, they're most of them on and not worth anything, just like everything else, just like everything else. But it's all good. They can keep, you know, there really is a horrible, horrible public perception of NFTs. Like, that is definitely true. I think it's similar to actually, honestly, I think crypto is a better reputation probably, but more people, more people, yeah, for sure. Yeah. It does have better reputation than everything. Yeah. Oh, my God. But, you know, that's okay. Hey, we're early folks. And you know what? Because I do think that in the beginning, people hate. And then they, and then they kind of come around to it and then next thing, you know, they're a fan. So I feel like we are anybody that's in this space right now, like toughing it out through the tough times and still here learning, building, like just being in the know, like you have such a competitive advantage over everybody else that is going to end up getting into NFTs, you know, later in life when it's more widely adopted. You know, so I mean, of course, anyone who's here now, I feel like they have tough skin to be honest. I feel like, you know, people are not phased when you say, oh, NFTs, it's funny because that boyfriend texted me that actually a screenshot of it, really something NFTs are with this. And I just laughed because I was like, that's hilarious. Like, yeah, that's money to me. And I think everyone in this space is kind of just like, we're someone phased. Right. And then if two people was saying NFTs are dead, does that there's a popular project called NFTs are dead, you know, Kevin Rose created a bit of a stir when he changed his PFP away from Moonbirds, took Moonbirds out of his profile. He had to go do some interviews, change his PFP back, put them back in his Twitter issued an apology. And, you know, he likes to put his foot in his mouth in many different ways. Yeah, it's an interesting predicament to be in as a founder. Like, you know, right. People do want to see you representing the projects that you have founded, like they want to see that. And yeah, it does make people kind of sad, you know, if you kind of change up on them. And I think people just have a bad taste in their mouth about Moonbirds with, you know, Ryan Carson leaving and kind of just being this controversial figure and him being a big part of Moonbirds early on. And then Kevin Rose kind of really hyping up Moonbirds a lot in the beginning. But then, no, things just aren't working out very well right now. And it's like, I think they're just, people are just scrutinizing him because it's the easy thing to do. And it's like, well, why not just pick him apart? And he, I mean, if he had a really strong backbone, he'd like, fuck you guys. I can do whatever I want. But he's kind of the type where he's like, and I think that's how people are like coming out of him because they know that he would apologize and change. Right. If it was Beanie and Beanie on a project and he wanted to change his PFP for two weeks, he'd be like, F you guys. Yeah. And people I'm saying they would be like, right, we can't really. Yeah, right. Like Dave Portanoi kind of like where he's just like, I'll do it ever I want. Yeah. But it's like so many that you know, can like go back on their word or like for okay, I feel like it's like, oh, then people are like, oh, they want that. They want that. That's funny. You're right. You're right. So Kevin Rose got himself a hot water again. I didn't get to into it. I did hear a bit of his interview. He was on he he hopped off with coffee and captain. Okay. Talked a little bit. So let's get to AI a little bit. There's a couple cool things happening with AI. We haven't talked about that in a while. Is that okay? Yeah. Let's do it. Cool. All right. So there's Dolly three is about to come out, which is kind of like mid journey. It's one of these text to image apps, but it's going to be their new version, which is amazing. Supposedly, but it's also going to integrate into chat GPT. So you can ask chat GPT to create children's books, and it'll do it with images now and characters. And there's a video out there. You can find that I wish I would have had the Twitter handle. I should have wrote it down, but showing somebody's using it already. They like we're able to get access to it. And it's so cool. Like and it's like storytelling with your children will never be the same. And all kinds of stuff like I love it's all the stuff we talked about six, eight months ago. You know, it's like to start to come. That is so cool. I think I did see a video about that. That's very exciting because it's like, yeah, it's it's that combination of like mid journey and chat GPT, I guess. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Bringing it together. Yeah, that's great. That's so exciting. So cool. I'm really excited to do that. Like I've been sitting just doing mid journey with my kids at night laying for bed. I still do that a lot with them. Hey, what do you guys want to see a picture of? Oh my god. I love that. Yeah. My daughter had it was like a unicorn on top of a house, rainbow colors, and it like made this beautiful thing. And now you can zoom out. And it like makes a bigger raster like she'll doing that will zoom out and go like add more things like trees and other animals. It's really cool. And it's amazing. It's really fun to use. That is such a good idea like to do with your kids. Yeah. It's like there. My son was having. He was having like trains crashing to Lamborghini and stuff. That's his. Yeah. Sorry. Uh-huh. The funny stuff. We were having a good time. Yeah. I love doing that with that. Making stories and art. It's pretty crazy. That now. And now I want to do that with my niece and nephews on it. Yes. Totally. Let me know. I'll set you up if you're not set up with mid journey. I'll set you up. Oh, yeah. Oh, mid journey. I'm right. Everyone you want to use. Well, I'm helping the new Chad Zbt. Oh, right. That's coming in October. So it should be coming pretty soon. They move pretty quick. It's just a plug-in. So you do have to pay the $20 a month to do that. Right. Yeah. Which I only use the free one for now. Right. I would like to pay because I would like to get the plug-ins. I mean, I wouldn't like to pay, but I'm right. I used to get some extra. Uh-huh. Can you please cancel? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Sure. Uh-huh. And the other AI thing I want to bring up us, Suno AI is this company. They're a really cool company, but they have this thing called the chirp bot in their discord, where you can type in any type of genre, any lyrics, or you get to have Chad GPT create the lyrics. And it makes songs for you. Really cool songs. Uh-uh. And you remember I sent you guys some that was trying to create a jingle for gas wars. Do you want me to try and do me to play the one I made? Yeah. Sounds good. Okay. The one that we liked. So I'm going to play the light. I don't think I like that one. Are you didn't like them? I actually don't think I like and you know them. Uh-uh. Now you said they're hilarious for their horrible. I said this one. All right. Let's see this one. Let's see this one. Hopefully it comes through good. If not, maybe I'll get Andy has audio. We can splice it. Let's see this go. I don't like the beginning, but watch when it kicks in for one second. After this, let's get sick right here. Watch. There you go. That's not good. Oh, um, no comment. Uh-uh. No, but the second part was better than the first part. I will give you that. Yeah. There's Jenny and Michael. There's that fire in question in the spades. Oh, man. I thought she was a ripeted. That's fine. That's fine. She was a ripeted. I mean, I'm not just doing it in there. No, no, no. Back to the drawing board. Back to the drawing board. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. So, um, and speaking of segments, that was that was our new jingle for the guest. We're a segment, which has obviously been next. We talked about doing a new segment. A segment called Where Are They Now? And I think we're going to do our first one ever. Whoa. So, so we're going to go through our old guests one by one in order of when they came on and talk about where they are now. And our first ever guest back in it was either January or February of 2022 was extreme Tom, who was one of the devs and co-founders of cool cats. Yes. That's right. Yep. Yep. So, I reached out the Tom to get in his own words where he is now. Oh. He does not follow me anymore. And I know he tried purrs. He chased up a little bit, whatever. And he did not get back to me. Nobody likes to get back to me. When they unfollow you. I know. He's like, okay, that guy. So, so I tried to do my own research to see where he is. He did leave the cool cats about a year ago. And maybe even a little bit more. He was the dev. He did a lot of the smart contract stuff. And he seems to still really be into that. He's into all the on chain stuff. He's dropped two projects. And both sold out. And I didn't go look at like four prices and quantities. One of them is called crypto coasters. And it was the first 3D immersive virtual reality compatible NFT. So, so they claim. And the other one is called baby peppers, which actually just dropped recently. And that also sold out is everything's on chain. He says you put 20,000 animated gifts on chain and saved 9th for his crypto babies. For his baby peppers. I'm sorry. He's a death. And he's at it. Do different things. Well, that's great that he's still grinding in the space. Yeah. He's still in the space. Extreme time. Not with the cool cats anymore. Still has a cool cat. BFB. Yeah. But, you know, I feel like that was his baby for a long time. And speaking of cool cats. Yeah. Go ahead, please. Well, I was going to give a little hopefully. We are working. We have someone from the cool cats. One of the cool cat founders comes on Clon. He's so very soon. I don't know when the episode will come out. We haven't recorded yet. But within the next few weeks, hopefully, I mean, I guess. Hopefully he doesn't yet. Obviously, but yeah. Oh, so excited to get Clon on. Wow. There's like thunder over here. It's actually kind of busy. Yeah. That'll be that'll be really good. McLeod. He's taking back over. He's taking back over a lead that he's doing. Obviously, he wants to get out there with some audio. So that's really cool. I'm excited to hear. He's got to say. And I remember Andy and I in 2021, we're in this like little ass room. We're club was doing all kinds of art. I'm going to ask about that for your members there. Oh, yeah. I think we're going to have a lot of great topics with him because I mean, cool cats. First of all, you'll have to talk about how you bought one on air. Like that was the first, you know, on air purchase ever and that we've done. And that was my biggest purchase ever too, when I bought my cool cat for 0.69. So and I still have mine. So I think we have a lot, lots to talk about. That'll be really cool. Yeah. That'll be fun. Andy still have his cool cat. I forget. Maybe he'll say in the chat. I don't know. It's a good question. I can't believe you don't like that. You said they're hilarious. I thought you liked my song. I said they were hilarious because I didn't want to tell you that okay, he doesn't have a school cat anymore. But no, I appreciated the effort. But like, okay, good. You know, I was just kind of like, you know, it's a mark. They didn't hit the mark. Okay, they didn't hit the mark. Yeah, great. It's obvious. They didn't hit the mark. You know, I thought that one, I thought when that lady came in on the verse, I thought she was like, fire, but I guess. Maybe I need to listen to the whole thing. I'm going to have to go back and really talk. Oh, man. Dude, never mind. Don't even bother. Few of worlds that meant so there's going to be a there's going to be a snapshot tomorrow. Everybody that has a paint is going to get a free duo. I don't think they look that great. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's why I haven't seen them. I don't even know what it is. Honestly, but I mean, I don't know. Okay. See, you're not pumped about it. But you do have, don't you have? I do have. I have a paint that has three, quite quantity three in it. But I'm only I still read it like I'm only going to get one few of PFP. I might sell right before the the right before the the snapshot tomorrow. Oh, right. I guess it's like it's like it's like point three. What'd you buy that? Uh, I forget what he sold about. Honestly, I think they were. What did he sell those at? They weren't ultra cheap. I don't think he doesn't do anything cheap. You know that the retail of these is going to be he's trying to sell the at the end for point four public sale. Oh, wow. And yeah, after the air drops, he's air dropping a bunch. Yeah. Well, so then you wouldn't consider keeping and getting the air drop and trying to sell it for like what you don't think you can sell it for like point four. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's going to be like it's just going to keep like what's next after I just don't know like these projects is if there's not like a, it's just buying the art, which is totally cool. I'm proud with anybody selling their art as much as they can. But for me, I just don't know if I need to keep driving down this train with this. What do I know? Like the paid party school but honestly, I was a holder and I tried to go to his paid party in at our basil. There's a line around block couldn't get in even as older. So like, yeah, yeah, just being honest. I'm like trying to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're always honest on the show. Yeah. Yeah. Just honest. What I'm thinking about it. Like I just don't know. Like I did have like that's that sugar town. I told you I so I bought two. It doubled up. I sold one so I had a free one. And then it was sitting like point two. And I was like, you know what? I'm just going to sell this one to make the point two. I'm not going to ride it down like everything else. That's me. I basically ran everything down. I used to never do that when I first got in. I was like flip, flip, flip, flip, flip. Yeah. And then it's just like then when everything seemed like, because then for a while, I was like, damn, I shouldn't have sold anything. Because like I had, you know what I mean? And then, uh, and then once I finally got it when I got into that mood, then I should have sold everything. But that's how it always is. Let's say like when. Yeah. And that's the thing too for cycle that's like you have to recognize when you're feeling euphoric versus when you're feeling like, you know, and it's like, oh, when you're feeling like, oh, my God, we go higher. Like that's when you're supposed to sell. And then when you feel like, oh, this is just going to keep going as zero and whatever. That's when you're supposed to buy. So it's like counterintuitive. But that's, I mean, you know, I don't know. That's kind of what you're supposed to do. But for me, if I just buy them, then I just hold Trevor and you forget to sell or not forget. I just, I don't know. I'm just a diamond hander, I guess. Um, yeah. But yeah. All right. I think we got one more topic on the list. What was it? T day. Oh, yes. How was that? I saw you. I was watching live when you were streaming with, uh, at the gentleman's name. Uh, I was on three different streams that day. So, yeah. Okay. It was. I popped on one. It was good. You were stars always. Nice. Yeah. So NFT day, by the way, if you guys don't know what started by flow, um, and I think they started two years ago, international NFT days, September 20th. And, you know, they kind of are just encouraging people to do stuff on that day. And, you know, I was out here representing evaluate, um, and I was on two tours, bases and three live streams. So it was a busy, fun day for me, though. And I also, actually, actually, I have a little something for our guests that are, um, into flow and fts. I have a gift for everybody on or of international NFT day end for making it all the way to the end of the pod. Um, if you would like a mystery flow NFT as a gift, um, head to evaluate.expresse, connect your dapper wallet and then search Gen, J-E-N-N and send me a message, um, and just say, hey, I was listening to the pod. I heard about the mystery gift. And I'll send you a three slow NFC, a random one from different. Yeah. So that's what I was doing on NFT days one. It was actually a lot of fun because for evaluate, one thing I love is that you can like chat with people and like, each is so fun. Like, it's like, it's, it's like discord, but I don't know. It's like a chat thing. It's really cool. People should think advantage of that. So yeah, totally. If you want to clear out, clear out, clear out. I know, like, um, shit, no limit, but I guess too, and I mean, I can always just buy more. I'm not it up folks. Someone bought it up with like a thousand different, like, well, you have to have a dapper wallet. I guess you can just make a bunch of dapper wallets. Yes. Okay. Um, please, somebody do not do that. Let's keep the one-per-person policy, based off of honesty. But obviously, things get out of hand. Like, I might just have to cut it. So hopefully nobody just like completely trust their brands, hack me. But yeah, it's always fun. And you can chat with me on there. So yeah, Jen, Jay, and on her value ways. So yeah, there we go. Amazing. So let's do, uh, crypto slim NFT rankings by sales volume. Okay, let's do it. Cool. Over the last seven days. Number one, draft King's Rainmakers on Polygon, 6.9 million. I have 172,000 actions. Pretty impressive. Polygon. They are two thirds of the volume on polygon. So Polygon does 9.5 million. And, uh, Jeff Kings was 6.9 of it, uh, up 36% from the prior week. Number two is demarket mythos, which we talked about is CSGO mostly, which is why that is doing so well. Just about the same 6.7 million. Number three is God's Unchained Immutable X. So the first Ethereum is so rare. And that's another kind of gaming. It's gamified. The first four are gamified, you know, NFT protocols projects, basically, which is really interesting. Lots of volume. Uh, number five is a BRC 20s. So, um, $2.5 million there on, uh, Bitcoin, NFTs. Number six is something new. This is Revers on Solana, which I have no idea what it is. Solana, go Solana. Okay. Yeah, go Solana. Solana's got 7.9 million in volume. Polygon, 9.5, Ethereum, 36 in real, last seven days. That's the one blockchain. Yep. So, yeah, you don't often use Solana on the top charts. Yeah, you don't. We haven't it a long time since like, uh, what was that? What was the D got right? D gods. And then before that, we've never okay bears. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Number seven, board API club. Number eight, Nakamego's cloaks. My favorite project. Uh, number nine is crypto punks. And they're having their meet up at people studios next weekend. You know about that? Um, I, I, yeah, you talked about it. Yeah, that's for me, sir. Uh, in South Carolina. Uh, number 10 is mutants. Number 12 happens to be pudgies. Which is cool. Praise. Yeah. And there we go for the top 10, uh, NFT collection rankings by sales volume. I'm gonna last seven days. Pretty interesting stuff to check out the stands. There we have it. Both. Yeah. See? Good one. All right. Well, yeah. Thank you all for tuning into our, uh, NFT week episode, I guess.
