I don't think he's the 57 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: best two guard period, but I think he's the He's 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: having the best season of any two guard in the 59 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 3: league this year for sure. 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: I feel like, Bro, can we put him in that 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: MVP conversation? 62 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 3: You look at his numbers, you know what I'm saying. 63 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 3: I mean, he can say I'm the best player on 64 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: a one seed. That's the criteria, you feel me? 65 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, yes, I wouldn't say he's he's 66 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: having a better season than Steph or KD. Right, I'm 67 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 4: not saying he's a better you know what, I mean, 68 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 4: better player, but the best player doesn't always get the 69 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: m v P. 70 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

He's been that good and and the 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: two game winning shots only just kind of stamps what 78 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 4: we've already kind of been thinking but haven't been saying. 79 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: You know, I think it's like an old head's like 80 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: wet dream too, because these are shot making ass shots, right. 81 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 5: I mean the. 82 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: Double one off, one leg falling out of bounds over 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: good defense, like crazy shots. Yes, I think what what's especially, 84 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: I don't you know if the MVP things interesting. It's January, 85 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: you know what I mean for sure, But. 86 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 4: I'm just saying, we talk, we've been talking about that 87 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 4: two or three weeks ago. 88 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's the leading MVP. Now Katie's the 89 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: leading VP. Motherfucker. 90 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: We two months into the season, let's continue to Yeah, 91 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 4: for conversation, you feel me, I think. 92 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: I want him in the conversation. Obviously, if I had 93 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: to vote, i'd vote for him just because it's more interesting. 94 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I just I do feel like 95 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: there's something here to be excited about, where even people 96 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: you know, which I think, like us, people who understand 97 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: the basic analytics of where basketball has been headed with 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: why three points are more valuable than two points, et cetera. 99 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm still excited to see someone who's doing this his 100 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: way that you know, could have listened to people saying 101 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: you don't fit in the league, whatever, whatever, and just 102 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: has remained himself, has remained the best version of himself, 103 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: and it's kind of getting to see those flowers bloom 104 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: from what he's planted over his entire career. I think 105 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: that's really special, and I don't feel like that happens 106 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: a ton in the league anymore. This this whole season 107 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: feels like a bitch. 108 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: You thought you know what I mean, You thought you 109 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: thought you couldn't play this way. You know what I'm saying. 110 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 4: You didn't want you. You thought I wasn't as value 111 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: as I thought I was.

I think I think it's great to 123 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 4: see him doing this. 124 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: Damar biz the Compton Heights School basketball team which I cover, 125 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: a new pair everyone on the team with new pair 126 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: of shoes when the playoffs start. He personally paid because 127 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: the school district wasn't doing it to redo the floor 128 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: and to put in air conditioning in their gym. They're 129 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: in the same league as all the Long Beach High 130 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: School is. They're the only one that has air conditioning 131 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: in the gym because DeMar Derosen wanted them to have 132 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: a better gym. So when they retired that man's number, 133 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: which I got a chance to cover and catch up 134 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: with him because we covered him in high school. It's 135 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: like you would not have known that he was currently 136 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 2: in the NBA as an All Star caliber player when 137 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: that happened, because everyone there knew him personally already, hundreds 138 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: of people, and he did not come in, and with 139 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: all due respect, he did not come in, you know, 140 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: take a picture with the jersey up on the wall, 141 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: shake a couple of hands, and duck out. He was 142 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: in there, and I stayed in there just to watch 143 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 2: it happening. He was in there for two hours poster 144 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: the ceremony was over, to make sure that every kid 145 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: who wanted a picture with him, everyone who wanted him 146 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: to sign in their fucking school folders, because some of 147 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: them just stayed after school and weren't prepared. He signed whatever, 148 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: he took pictures with whoever. And you you don't you understand. 149 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: I'm not even casting aspersions on people who don't do 150 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: that shit, because it's not necessarily even the safest thing 151 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: to do sometimes. But he was in there the whole time, 152 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: and you know, that's who the dude is. He's a 153 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: special guy. I think that because he was in Toronto, 154 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: which is I think literally as far away from confident 155 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: as you can get in the NBA. Right, I don't 156 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: think we've necessarily seen his story told fully, but you know, 157 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: he's an incredible person. He's a great advocate for lupus 158 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: as well as for pancreatic cancer that his father, Frank, 159 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: who's a legend and Compton, passed away from. And I 160 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: couldn't be happier for him to have this success. And 161 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: I'm sick as fuck that he's not on the Lakers. 162 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: So a discussion for another day. Discussion for another day, yes, 163 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: for sure. 164 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: But also I think Lamar isn't having the season he's 165 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 4: having now if he's on the Lakers. You know, he 166 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: got that you that leash is too long for him 167 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: to be himself. And I love it.

I share and I share I 202 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: share with Lauren before you guys hopped on that because 203 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: of my friends and the impact that some of this 204 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: stuff has had on them, I'm wary of John's argument 205 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: has been the spread information, let people make the decision 206 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: mis information, which is why I'm very happy we have Lorna. 207 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: My point was, you can't spread information in a vacuum, 208 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: and there is no doubt and maybe this is a 209 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: good starting point that there are white tech bro NFT 210 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: evangelists who benefit from an inflated temporary interest in the 211 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: financial side of this, who are going to be fucking 212 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: thrilled that we are talking about this subject to a 213 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: black audience. That's a separate conversation from the artistic and 214 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: technological value of NFTs, but it is to me a 215 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: real world conversation. So you seem to be perfectly positioned 216 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: to actually talk about all sides of this, Lauren and 217 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: I will shut up and turn the microphone over to you. 218 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, like, I think that's a great, great intro. 219 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 5: I appreciate I appreciate any conversation around NFTs that's that's 220 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 5: start with that really important like climate like intro, because 221 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 5: it's true, like I can't just come in here and say, okay, 222 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 5: so NFTs non fungible tokens, but that we can't start there. 223 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: We have to start with there's this. 224 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 5: Thing happening and people are creating wealth out of nowhere. 225 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: That's what got me interested. 226 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 5: I did not care about NFTs or crypto until I 227 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 5: realized people are just getting rich off it, and then 228 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 5: until I realized that it was people who were white, 229 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: and I was like, historically, I shouldn't be a concern. 230 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: That's how I. 231 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 5: Want to get involved, to see what the buck is 232 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 5: going on here, because I'm not like, I can't let 233 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 5: us miss out. 234 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: That's that's truly the intro I had into it. So 235 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: that's where I'm coming from. That's the bias. 236 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 5: And then I'll say n f TS and crypto, uh, 237 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 5: blockchain technology, all this stuff is a it's called it's 238 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 5: called web three. So Web two, as we now understand 239 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 5: it is like Twitter dot com, Instagram dot com, Google 240 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 5: dot com. 241 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: Web three is supposed. 242 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 5: To be a decentralized Internet experience where the people own everything. 243 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: Right. 244 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 5: This is again I'm very intentional about about saying supposed 245 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 5: to be okay, because one thing too is that I 246 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 5: do not think Web three is at its place ship 247 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 5: where it's this great thing that's going to change everything. 248 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 5: So then the next thing I would like to explain 249 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 5: is that NFTs all crypto art is n f ts. 250 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: All NFTs are not crypto art. 251 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 5: I have this almost zero interest in crypto art. It 252 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 5: all looks terrible to me. I'm sorry, I'm getting in 253 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 5: tuble for saying this because I work at an NFG platform. 254 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: But crypto art to me, has it. Don't hit like 255 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: I see it. 256 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 5: I'm like cool for you and whoever wants it, but 257 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 5: I don't get it. N f ts are what has 258 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 5: my interests. N f ts are a thing that and 259 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 5: this is where I slightly sound as though it's a 260 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 5: supporter of NFTs, if you will. But NFS can be 261 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 5: so many things that interest me. For example, you can 262 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 5: have an NFT project that can be anything. And the 263 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 5: one I like to always talk about is Astroheads. Astroheads 264 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 5: is basically. 265 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: The pokemonon of NFTs. 266 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 5: You get these characters and they have traits and they 267 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 5: have like abilities, and you can like use them in 268 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 5: a game that the game hasn't been built yet. So again, 269 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: it's everything about NFTs is speculative. 270 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: And I don't only mean that in. 271 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 5: Terms of it's the it's value, like there are people 272 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 5: who purchase pictures of apes for ridiculous amounts of money, 273 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 5: and again to me, I don't get that. I think 274 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 5: they are capitalizing off of off of fomo people are 275 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 5: just like, Okay, this thing's happening, and I want to 276 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 5: have one and have as an avatar. 277 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: I guess okay. 278 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 5: But NFT projects I think are the future and and 279 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 5: the the one thing I'll add before you know, opening 280 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 5: up to like more discussions time, I'm not just talking 281 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 5: talking is NFTs are also a key to dows. DOW 282 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: is a dao AD central decentralized autonomous organization. There we go, 283 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 5: and the whole idea of a DOW is that the 284 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 5: people who are invested in it also have the power 285 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 5: over it. So imagine if Instagram was a DOW. Clearly 286 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 5: it was not, but if it was, everybody who has 287 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 5: an Instagram account could could say hey for bringing back 288 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 5: chronological feeds, and they would have to because that's wh 289 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: who owns it, as who controls it. There isn't a 290 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 5: Jack on Twitter. There isn't a whoever runs Instagram. Oh Mark, 291 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 5: I guess now is the owner of Instagram. There isn't 292 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 5: one person, you know, I mean, who's like I hope 293 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 5: he he understands how we use this app and they don't. 294 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll start with that. 295 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: Can you can you talk about. 296 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: The metaverse a little bit because I think, like how 297 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 4: that I'm wondering, like how like n F T and 298 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 4: all that connects with that as well. And I've been 299 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: doing some research and it seems like you know, when 300 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 4: I hear about the metaverse. 301 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: At first, I was thinking of like looking at like 302 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: you know. 303 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 4: It'll be a bunch of dungeons and dragons niggas on 304 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: that motherfucker you know what I'm saying, like you know, 305 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: But but no, honestly, I said, more research, it became 306 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: more real to me, and I understand, I guess some understanding, 307 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: but I would like for you to like kind of like, 308 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: you know, break it down a little bit for somebody. 309 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 5: In what what your understanding of it is? For first, 310 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 5: if you don't. 311 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: Mind, the metaverse to me is like you know, we 312 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 4: talk about the multiverse, different dimensions, different universes within the multiverse. 313 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 4: The metaverse is like a different you know, another universe. 314 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: But I think it's like the Internet version. Okay, you 315 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So it's like our lives, but 316 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: how we live them. Uh, you know, I guess digitally, Okay, Okay. 317 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: So that's perfect. I I love talking about the metaverse. 318 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 5: I'm trying to be trying to figure out how I 319 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 5: can like just just be specific and not go all out. 320 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 5: But the way I always like to to to start 321 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 5: with the idea of the metaverse is that is the 322 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 5: video games, because I feel like it's always the easiest 323 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 5: entry because it's kind of the most common US most 324 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: common entry into the metaverse. 325 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: So, for instance, I would assume you guys all play 326 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: two K or have played two K. Yeah right, but okay, 327 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: so in two K, if. 328 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 5: You play my player, you can start out. You don't 329 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 5: have anything, you can't play very well, your gears awful, 330 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,479 Speaker 5: you know, blah blah blah. 331 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: You work your way up. 332 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 5: You have an apartment, you can get a skateboard if 333 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 5: you want, you can get Jordan's, you can get all 334 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 5: these things, and they exist in the game. 335 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: In the metaverse. 336 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 5: All those things would have actual value and be able 337 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 5: to be taken anywhere you want because you own it. 338 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: So, for instance, in the real world. 339 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 5: If I put on a hat, that hat's going to 340 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 5: go anywhere I go right or or anywhere I want 341 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 5: it to go. In two k I can't take the 342 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 5: Jordans I buy and have them on in in in 343 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 5: grand theft auto in the in the future, the metaverse, 344 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: it means everything digitally is linked. It's one big metaverse, 345 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 5: which why I hate that Facebook chage their name to 346 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 5: meta because we aren't there, and b they are the 347 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 5: last company I think should be in charge of the 348 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 5: metaverse for the reasons. 349 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't think they've been handling controlling the world's 350 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: flow of information. 351 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 5: Well, listen, this is a perfect comparison though to crypto. 352 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: Of course, Crypto has. 353 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 5: Terrible scammy people because it's the same people who were 354 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 5: in Web two point zero trying to get into Web three. 355 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: Now. The reason I like web free is because there 356 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: are there. 357 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: Are these altruistic optimists, people who truly want to decentralize everything. 358 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 5: Twitter should not control everything, basically should not control everything, 359 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 5: et cetera. But there's also, of course, the people who 360 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 5: are trying to take over that because they understand the 361 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 5: power is going to have, and that scares. 362 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: Me a lot. Of it. 363 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 3: So, Lauren, I've got I think I have a pretty 364 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 3: basic understanding of what NFTs are, and I'm lay it 365 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 3: out for you. I want you to tell me how 366 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 3: on point or how off base I am with this. Okay, 367 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: So my understanding of NFTs are and NFT is kind 368 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 3: of a stamp of authenticity by the creator of a 369 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: digital intellectual property. And this is kind of a movement 370 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 3: to kind of monetize the shift that our world has 371 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: been making from a print world to a digital world. 372 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 3: Is that kind of a fair assessment here, Yes. 373 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: I would say so. 374 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 5: The word monetizes hard because it is still true. But again, 375 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 5: everything I say is always that we aren't we aren't 376 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 5: there yet. That's a really big head to me. So 377 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 5: it's like I'll tell people all the time, you know, 378 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 5: having NFT is amazing because the idea of NFT to 379 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 5: come back just a bit, and n f T is 380 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 5: a digital asset on the blockchain. The blockchain is a 381 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 5: transparent digital ledger. And I know everybody hats his word, 382 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 5: so'm I'm gonna switch up a little bit. NFT on 383 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 5: the blockchain is a transparent bank account. It's saying I paid, no, 384 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 5: it's saying I created this thing at nine to twenty 385 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 5: eight am on on January second two, I'm twenty one 386 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 5: boom and then on January or it was purchased by 387 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 5: this point this person so our like it was a 388 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 5: really comparison Venmo. How you can see everybody's transactions. 389 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: Right right right as the blockchain. 390 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 5: The blockchain is the is the Venmo act activity to 391 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 5: ab right, so it keeps. 392 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 4: Track of everything that's being done, like sale, who created it? 393 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: All of that? You know how much was paid? You know? Okay, okay, okay. 394 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 5: So I think that has a really really that foundation 395 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 5: is the most important part of NFTs. Everything else is 396 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 5: happening right now is everybody trying to put it into 397 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 5: action and can get paid off of it. But that 398 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 5: is the key. Is that for instance, I go, I 399 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 5: go viral a lot on Twitter. 400 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: Was. 401 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: On camerava viral sometimes or whatever, and I don't really 402 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: get anything out of that. 403 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 5: I mean like like I'm not paid, I'm not I 404 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 5: don't often get a ton of new followers because of it. 405 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 5: But if it was on the blockchain, you know, the 406 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 5: idea again, this is not reality yet. The idea is 407 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 5: everybody would see I created this here, and here's everybody 408 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: who used it after me, you know, and so in 409 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 5: the in the in the future, the hope is our 410 00:20:54,119 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 5: digital engagement such as retweets, likes, shares, will have a 411 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 5: a financial component to it. 412 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, wow, we are Tyler will be rich. You 413 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: will be rich too, I would yeah. 414 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: Filthy, Yeah, that's the idea for me. 415 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 3: So so the blockchain, you know, basically to kind of 416 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: blow down, it is a an open world, transparent transaction history. 417 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: Perfect, yes, gotcha. 418 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So you have a on your website, uh, Lauren 419 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: Chanelle Allen dot com. You have a really great simple 420 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: page called n FT is a starting point. And of 421 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: all of the links that were flying around in the 422 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: group chat back and forth, by far, I thought that 423 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 2: the best thing I'd read about it, in part because, 424 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, even though you work for an NFT platform, 425 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 2: you are not a you know, blinders on evangelists of 426 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 2: this and and you acknowledge the difference between goals and 427 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 2: reality where you're hoping things will go and where they 428 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 2: are yet. And one of the things you talked about 429 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 2: is decentralization. And at the end of that I I 430 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: really appreciate you talk about the problem with centralization that 431 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: you were just discussing that. Right, We have all contributed 432 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: in some way, Lauren, You and Tyler have contributed an 433 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 2: enormous way to Twitter's net worth and you don't get 434 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 2: a cut of that. Right again, Well, you know what, 435 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: but this is something Okay, no, but genuinely that's true. 436 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: And I've talked We've talked about this on the podcast. 437 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 2: I had a Twitter account because I had to for 438 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: work and I was not on it, and then I 439 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 2: followed Tyler and now I have a ten hour a 440 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: week Twitter addiction and have four ten years plus. Right Like, 441 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 2: Twitter has made, however, much money off of selling ads 442 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: to me, and they have not given any of that 443 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 2: money to Tyler. So one of the goals of decentralization 444 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 2: is a more just distribution of where the funds generated 445 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: are going to. You acknowledge on your starting point page 446 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 2: that you know that hasn't happened yet. We're not at 447 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: that point yet. I love from a philosophical perspective those 448 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 2: goals of decentralization, but I am a full on cynical 449 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: person generally, and the path that will go from where 450 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 2: we are now to that world, I don't personally know 451 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 2: what that looks like. You are much smarter about this, 452 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 2: if you're much more educated by this stuff than I am. 453 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: What do you think that would look like? And how 454 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 2: much aside from the philosophical optimism, how much sort of 455 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 2: like real world hope do you have for ten years 456 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 2: from now we have you back on the podcast and 457 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: we're talking about a very different Web three world as 458 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: far as social media and creators and everything. 459 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: That's tough. Great, it's a great That's the big question. 460 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 5: It honestly is like, it's like, Okay, this is all 461 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 5: a great idea, how do we make it happen? 462 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: Well me, and let me just add really quick, because 463 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: that's not an entirely fair question. I'm not suggesting that 464 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: the technology is not worthwhile if it does not solve 465 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: institutional racism, et cetera in America, because otherwise we would 466 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: never do anything. Nothing is going to solve all the 467 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 2: problems we have. If it moves us ten percent towards 468 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: Tyler getting paid for the money that Jack Dorsey is 469 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: generating from his content, that's a huge movement. I'm just 470 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: asking about even moving at the one What do you 471 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: think that would look like? 472 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: I think a great. 473 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 5: Example of the direction it's going and where it could 474 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: be in ten years and should be. Is what actually 475 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 5: just happened a month is ago with E N S. 476 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: Do you guys?

It's like, you know, when it comes to 551 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 4: like smart contracts, where you know, say so blue to Gray, 552 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 4: he's an actual artist, So he's not just making fucking 553 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 4: apes that look like basic ass fucking clip art, you 554 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 4: know what I mean. He's an actual artist that you know, 555 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 4: you know, grew ian it was was was broke for 556 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 4: a while on that artist grind. Now it's making good 557 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: money and things like that. Might sellers art for like 558 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 4: ten five, ten, maybe fifteen K. Recently just sold a 559 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 4: piece on as n FT one of a kind and 560 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 4: it went for like fifty some thousand. 561 00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: What I really love. 562 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 4: About that is that probably bought that shit was probably 563 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 4: one of the rich white guys we were talking about, 564 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 4: and he was gonna flip that motherfucker for once more. 565 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 4: But because of the smart contract and written in the programming, 566 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 4: there will be you know, like Blueta Gray has to 567 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 4: get some of that money as it's flipped by rich 568 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 4: people who are using his work to flex on other 569 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 4: rich people, you know what I'm saying exactly, And so 570 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 4: like these are the things with that I feel like, 571 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: I don't know if digital art is like you said, 572 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 4: we talked about this on the phone and you're saying 573 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 4: this is like the least most interesting part of NFTs 574 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 4: to you. 575 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: It might not be it. 576 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 4: And you know what I'm saying, I like it for creators, 577 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 4: but it might not be it as far as a 578 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: rich get rich king. But the concepts to me are 579 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 4: what's powerful and important. We didn't have a lot of 580 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 4: artist friends who sell their shit to rich white people, 581 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, for like four K, and 582 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 4: then that person sells that motherfucker for ten K or 583 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: fifteen K, and they never see any of that money, 584 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying afterwards when they're the creator, 585 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. 586 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: So I think, like the concepts are beautiful, you know. 587 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like smart contracts. 588 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 5: The idea behind them is even after the first transaction transaction, 589 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 5: I purchase X from this person. If that person wants 590 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 5: to raise silid, I can put it in the contract. Okay, cool, 591 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 5: I get fifteen percent. 592 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: Or whatever it is. 593 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 5: And again it's the idea that the creator should constantly 594 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 5: benefit from their creation. Something else I really enjoy about 595 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 5: this idea smart contracts is he is creators the creators 596 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 5: in the future, what we won't have to do what 597 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 5: we do, which is try to appeal to everybody and 598 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 5: hope I get ten percent of that to invest in me. 599 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 5: You all you need is that one person who understands 600 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 5: the value of what you're creating, to say, you know what, 601 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 5: this is worth however much, because that's what's happening. 602 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: With apes kind to me, I would never spend over 603 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: a dollar. 604 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 5: Dollar okay, but there is one person out there who. 605 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: Says, know what, to me, that's worth this. It's it's 606 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: and I think it creates. 607 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 5: It creates a more intimate relationship between the creator and 608 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 5: the purchaser or whoever. Again, in theory in the future, 609 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 5: I don't think we're here right now. It's possibly a 610 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 5: it's possibly head in a different direction. But I'll also 611 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 5: say the n f T space and the crypto space 612 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 5: are very very different. So like the crypto space is 613 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 5: like a hold by the dip, you know, like thoughts 614 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 5: and I'm like any of that stuff. 615 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: Really I'm dabbled, but. 616 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 5: Like I'm I can't be like, oh, you should get 617 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 5: this coin and I don't know that stuff, and those 618 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 5: people are very scammy to me. 619 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: Those they are you know, it's not just you and 620 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 2: I know that stuff pretty well. And that's that's that's 621 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: what I think. They are different. You're absolutely right there 622 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: different obviously, but I do see similarities. And that was 623 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: sort of what I was going to ask. Is like bitcoin, 624 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 2: the idea of decentralizing from World Bank, from the Fed, 625 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: from you know, returning financial power more so to individual people. 626 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: There's an obvious philosophical appeal of that. However, there's also 627 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: you know that you run into the way things apply 628 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: in the real world. And you know, I think a 629 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: thousand people own about half of bitcoin, and it is 630 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: a pump and dump scam of I'm going to say 631 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: something about, wow, hey, bitcoin just signed a new deal 632 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: with I forget what country in South America is going 633 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: to use it as a currency. Great, the value goes up. 634 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: These people can then sell at a high rate. People 635 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 2: they don't because it's they don't have to disclose that 636 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: they sold it. They can then do a press conference 637 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: and say we're actually having some real trouble with the 638 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: technology that's that's underlying the bitcoin. The value plummets, real 639 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 2: world people right lose their money. The people then can say, Okay, 640 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: I cashed out at one hundred, so I made a 641 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: million dollars. Now the value went down to fifty, I'm 642 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 2: going to buy twice as much as I just owned 643 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: with the million dollars that I made. Like that, that's 644 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 2: the That's where I run into the sort of my 645 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 2: own cynicism. I guess about at the we've been saying 646 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 2: the rich white people. We said rich white people. We 647 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: can say Twitter, the market cap, you can say whatever 648 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: you want to say. Those people still have all the money. 649 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: Very true. 650 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 2: So my cynicism and life experience to some extent just 651 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 2: makes me feel like they're not going to give that 652 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 2: up because we've created an interesting new technology. 653 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: It's a fantastic point, it really is. 654 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 5: I had a cool exchange on crypto where I bought 655 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 5: a coin at like half a cent if that or whatever, 656 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 5: and I put in like one hundred dollars and at 657 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 5: the end of the week I had like eight hundred bucks. 658 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I get it. This is 659 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: how you scam people. I was like. 660 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 5: I was like, no, I get it now, because it's like, 661 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 5: if you have money, you can get more money. I 662 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 5: don't like that, Like that is not okay, you know 663 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 5: what I mean, Like like, had I put. 664 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 2: In a had eight hundred millions, right, don't even talk 665 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: about that, you know. It's just like, okay, I get 666 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 2: and that And that was the what I would say 667 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 2: is sort of the trap that I mentioned before. I 668 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 2: have a lot of friends who don't look like me 669 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: who got three thousand bucks two thousand bucks off of 670 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 2: stimulus check. They're seeing people and I would say this, 671 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 2: I mentioned this to John. They're seeing people like John 672 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 2: who are maybe more educated, people who are more people 673 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 2: who are up on trends and stuff like that, talking 674 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: about oh I'm doing this with crypto, not that John 675 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 2: you were specifically, I know, but the people that are 676 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 2: sort of like exactly, we're just speaking too, right. Yeah, sure, 677 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 2: they're seeing people that have moved into law, but they're 678 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: seeing people that have moved into Long Beach, not the 679 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 2: people who grew up in Long Beach. Does that make sense? Okay, 680 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 2: they're seeing those people saying, Okay, I made this money 681 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 2: off crypto, and they are the ones being pumped and dumped. 682 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 2: They are the ones going, I got two thousand bucks. 683 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: I'm buying in it's a hundred. But look it went 684 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: from fifty to one hundred over the last month. So 685 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: if it goes from one hundred to two hundred, right, 686 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 2: and then instead it goes the other way because they're 687 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 2: being I'm not gonna say scam, not related scam, but 688 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: they're being manipulated one hundred percent. So that's the yeah, that's. 689 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 5: My yeah, And I think I think that's why on 690 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 5: on my book, on my website, on on on any Twitter. 691 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 5: The threat I do in any condition I have, I 692 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 5: always sarted with with NFTs and it's not crypto because 693 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 5: you know, like I I the crypto world, I don't 694 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 5: do it. 695 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not that person. I don't have any 696 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: piece in it. The only inside I have is people 697 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: are being scanned. 698 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 5: I don't like it, right, I Mean it's so real 699 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 5: like and so I really really do try to create 700 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 5: a bude because here's because although all that is true. 701 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: It is it is very cool the idea of crypto 702 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: currency with n f t S. 703 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 5: And again I'll use the the E n S example 704 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 5: because for free, I got like like like like like 705 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 5: five thousand dollars. I didn't touch it and it kept increasing. 706 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 5: If I was paid five K, it wouldn't be increasing. 707 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 5: I mean, I would have five k, which is great. 708 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: You know. 709 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 5: I think that like how crypto can grow and fall 710 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 5: is still intriguing to me as a cryptocurrency, a currency. 711 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 5: To buy n f t S crypto as a stock 712 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 5: as an investment, I don't. 713 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 2: I don't. 714 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: I can't coed, I mean like, I don't. 715 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 5: But but because our our our lives are increasingly digital, 716 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 5: and I studied in grad school that the experiences we 717 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 5: have in our digital spaces the physiolog physiologically mirror our 718 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 5: experiences in the world. For example, if you're at a 719 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 5: party and you get rejected, how that feels. This is 720 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 5: these is the same in your body, in your brain 721 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 5: as being blocked on Twitter. You. I mean so, I 722 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 5: guess as a person who really understands and appreciates that 723 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 5: our whole world is increasingly digital and our currencies are too, 724 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 5: and the US dollar ain't all that stable if you 725 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 5: want to get into. 726 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 4: That, people making decisions with the US dollar that might 727 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 4: not benefit us but benefits certain sects of people as well. 728 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: I'm just not behind cryptocurrency is interesting. It hasn't been. 729 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 2: We're not there yet, you know what I mean, not. 730 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 5: There yet, And but but I but I guess I 731 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 5: want to highlight going back to the idea of the metaverse. 732 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: Right, I play, I play grand that thought of a lot. 733 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: Still I love it whatever. 734 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 5: I have all these cool cars and ship right, and 735 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 5: I have a house like in the hills and it 736 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 5: has art in there, and it has. 737 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: I have a dog in the game, Like those things 738 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: are going to increase and become more important to us. 739 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: They are. It's like people get. 740 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 5: Their account, don't suspend it on Twitter and lows all 741 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 5: connection to their friends because most of time you don't 742 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 5: have each email and phone number. It's real, it's it's 743 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 5: a real ass connection, but it's not it doesn't go 744 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 5: off that platform. And so the idea of the decentralized 745 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 5: that sensations that everything that happens online you own, you know. 746 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 5: It's like Twitter can't take it from me, Like I'm 747 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 5: still have this connections, and again I have to keep 748 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 5: saying we aren't there yet, but that's what I hope 749 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 5: keeps happening. 750 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: I hope we get to because I live online. 751 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 5: I prefer being online. I'm an introvert. I like, I 752 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 5: don't I don't want to be in people's faces. I 753 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 5: don't want to be there, you know. 754 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 2: But you know, because. 755 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 5: I met John and Tyler online a couple of years ago, 756 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 5: and it was it was it was real to me. 757 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 5: It was like we were friends and then you know, 758 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 5: and then we talked on the phone before and then 759 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 5: we met up in person, and it's like all that 760 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 5: happened because we that we value you our digital connection. 761 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't like, well, close the laptop. I don't know 762 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: about him anymore. 763 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 4: You know, this podcast wouldn't exist without those digital commingtions 764 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 4: we all met through the this, you know what I'm saying. 765 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 2: So, and we've also talked with like Zach Fox and 766 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 2: several other creators about how uncomfortable they are that their 767 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 2: careers and relationships have happened as have our relationships and 768 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 2: to this podcast extent, careers on a privately owned website 769 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: that is traded that I shouldn't say, private, publicly owned, right, 770 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 2: like traded people have made a ton of money off it. 771 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 2: We are tangentially those people in that we figured out 772 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 2: how to make money from creating a podcast or whatever. 773 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 2: But we're not making the money generated from Twitter. We're 774 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 2: not participating in a trillion dollar market cap. You know 775 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 2: that that Yeah, anyways, So but that, but that is like, 776 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 2: that's the conflict. I see your point about the optimism 777 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 2: on the digital space, because that already happened. Yeah, like 778 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 2: that's already the like Dan Bongino is controlling what forty 779 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 2: percent of America thinks because he owns Facebook, like because 780 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 2: he owns the news feed on Facebook. Yeah, but like, 781 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 2: but that and you're so right that that already happened. 782 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 2: So it's it's understandable to want or certainly to need 783 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 2: something to follow it in terms of how that stuff 784 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 2: is regulated and commodified. 785 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 4: And you were talking about Mark and how like we 786 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 4: hope Mark understands how we interact on here, right. I 787 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 4: was I quoted Chris Crack on a on one of 788 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 4: my posts. It was like, black don't crack unless you 789 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 4: coon it. I'm a nigga, I can say that shit, right, 790 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 4: But my shit was taken down because somebody complained about it, right, 791 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 4: because these algorithms don't understand the niggas talk like niggas, 792 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 4: and niggas can talk like niggas. You feel I'm saying 793 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 4: same thing with Twitter when not my shit was block. 794 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 4: You feel what I'm saying, and so like I've built 795 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 4: up a certain following. This helped me actually get paid. 796 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 4: You know what I mean, I'm getting paid to we 797 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 4: I'm getting paid now because of what I've done on Twitter. 798 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 4: If this other fuckers with that an that that's created 799 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 4: these algorithms that don't understand that niggas talk like niggas, 800 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 4: and niggas can say ship that other people can't say 801 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 4: and it's not disrespectful and take my ship from me 802 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 4: in a metapverse, that doesn't happen. 803 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying A good point. 804 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen if. 805 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 5: Wait, it doesn't happen if And it's part of the 806 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 5: reason why I'm actually currently learning the code. 807 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: We need non white programmers. 808 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 2: Yes, algorithms and. 809 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 5: Everything it has it has it has biased and I 810 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 5: hate people are like, it's the computer, it can't have bias. 811 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: Like we need to be the people coding this ship 812 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: Like that scares me because. 813 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 5: That's not like I don't see a current a current 814 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 5: wave you know of of people like us coding. 815 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 4: And and the protech is stuff like that are trying 816 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 4: to push it, but it's not you know, growing we 817 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 4: need that. 818 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the analogy that I heard and it is 819 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 2: why we've got my wife and I got our kids. 820 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 2: You know that coding is something that we're looking at 821 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 2: for them. Is that learning the code now is like 822 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: learning to read after the printing press was invented, right 823 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 2: like that? Not knowing how the code is going to 824 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 2: make you functionally illiterate in like thirty years. Yeah, and 825 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 2: so it is, it is important. But my kid, uh 826 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 2: is learning cursive right now in fourth third grade, which 827 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 2: is like probably not as valuable. I thought they stopped 828 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 2: teaching that because nobody, nobody that you're gonna type and 829 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 2: you're gonna type in cursive? Is that gonna make it 830 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying, that's that's that's I'm like, 831 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure his third grade teacher does not listen 832 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 2: to the pod. Hopefully not. 833 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: Interesting comments on my teaching style. 834 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 5: I heard. 835 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 2: You out to class, please, but. 836 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 5: It speaks to the idea of of centralization and decentualiation. Also, 837 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 5: I'll add, you know. 838 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: On my Instagram and stuff and this tracks me up. 839 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: But this is the climate. 840 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 2: You know. 841 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: Hairstylists often often book clients through instagrams everything that'sage you 842 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: in there. 843 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,839 Speaker 5: So when Instagram went down, like whenever it was last year, 844 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 5: people lost clients, appointments, they couldn't contact their Their own 845 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 5: business is on a centralized platform. And again that's the 846 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 5: idea where I'm like, yeah, that's not good, you know, 847 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 5: like decentralization is is the way. I don't know how 848 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 5: we get there, but I am thankful that there are 849 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 5: people much smarter than me trying to figure it out. 850 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 3: All right, I got, I got, I got a basic 851 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 3: ask question. Here are the Are the values of NFTs 852 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 3: volatile or are they like set? Like Like what I'm 853 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 3: asking is, say you buy one of those little weak 854 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 3: ass eight avvis for like four stacks, right, will you 855 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 3: wake up one morning and it's at twenty five hundred 856 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 3: or is it always going to be four thousand? And 857 00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 3: if you can't flip it then you should out of luck? 858 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 3: Is that you see what I'm saying, It's. 859 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 2: Only worth anything, and this is true of all specultive assets, 860 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 2: whether it's an NFT or whether it's the Honess Wagner card. 861 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 2: It's only worth what someone's going to pay for it. Yep. 862 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 2: If you find somebody to pay for K for it's 863 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 2: worth for right, and so's that's why you know, the 864 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 2: conversation John and I first started having when he was 865 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,800 Speaker 2: just talking more so about the art on NFTs, and 866 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 2: I was saying, look, this is the definition of a 867 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 2: specultive asset bubble. And it's nothing pro or con about 868 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 2: the art, but there is absolutely an inflated demand for 869 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 2: it right now. And you know, maybe it creates a 870 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 2: new market and things continue to run. 871 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 5: I don't think it's I don't think currently happening is 872 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 5: is sustainable. 873 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 2: And I think that I think that like the apes like, 874 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 2: there will be as there are with every speculative asset bubble, 875 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 2: including trading cards. The Honess Wagner card is still worth 876 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 2: a lot, but there are a billion times more trading 877 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: cards that moms and grandma's bought for their kids to 878 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 2: be their retirement plan or the college plan. I made 879 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 2: the joke in the group chat, I have four copies 880 00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 2: of X men number one that my grandma bought me. 881 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,800 Speaker 4: Right, I got a copy with Superman Died because I 882 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 4: thought that was you know what I'm saying, And that 883 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,760 Speaker 4: was not seventeen time. 884 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 2: And that was being sold to people, and that is 885 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 2: still being sold now. There are still comic books that 886 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 2: you can buy that are very valuable. But the bubble 887 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 2: popped in the nineties, right, and the bubble popped on 888 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 2: Internet stocks in the two thousand and the bubble popped 889 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,800 Speaker 2: on the stuff people were doing with real estate. The 890 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 2: bubble popped as I talked about on the Dutch tulipmania 891 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: in the sixteen thirties, like like asset bubbles pop, A 892 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 2: bubbles pop, they pop every time, and it's like it 893 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 2: is a you know, in economics, it's a documented five 894 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,720 Speaker 2: step thing. I think the only argument on the NFT 895 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 2: asset bubble is are we in three or four on 896 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 2: the elation ecstasy rise or are we moving into the 897 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 2: profit taking? And I don't know, because the people who 898 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 2: own this stuff are either taking their profits now or 899 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 2: they're not. 900 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 5: But what I was, I would say the products that 901 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 5: interest me in the NFT space are one they have 902 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 5: two things. They have community and they had utility. Those 903 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 5: two things to me aren't speculative. 904 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: You know. 905 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 5: It's like, if you have a group people who are 906 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 5: who are invested in this one thing, that's going to 907 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 5: keep keep growing because humans are humans, you know, like 908 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 5: that's what we do. And then if you have utility, 909 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 5: which is I think the important part of the Ethereum 910 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 5: network and everything, it's going to also keep being back 911 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 5: keeping valuable. 912 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: The projects that also are. 913 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 5: Transparent and say X amount of tokens are going to 914 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 5: the people, and X is to marketing and this and 915 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,439 Speaker 5: that also I appreciate, you know, but but the ape 916 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 5: stuff and the crypto are and I don't know how 917 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 5: to tell. 918 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, how you ask. I'm just like, I don't 919 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: know how that that works. It's like if person interested, 920 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: it goes up and then at some point TikTok, TikTok, 921 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: it won't be worth about it. 922 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 4: I think when it came to like the digital art, 923 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,760 Speaker 4: the way I look at it is more from creators 924 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 4: because I have That's the space that I existed. You know, 925 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 4: most of my friends are like creative people, you know 926 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 4: what I'm saying, or in that space. So I was 927 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 4: looking at the opportunity for creators to you know what 928 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 4: I'm saying, make potentially make money from the platform, the 929 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 4: communities they built, you know what I'm saying. And you know, 930 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 4: as they as the projects continue to get worth more, 931 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,439 Speaker 4: like with the smart contracts, they continue to make money. 932 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 4: So that's how that's that's the aspect I was coming from. Also, 933 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,320 Speaker 4: like I like the concepts as well, you know, and 934 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 4: I think Mike was looking at it as an investor. 935 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 4: I didn't even I'm not saying I never thought that's why. 936 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 2: That is what's driving I mean, and I'm just talking 937 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 2: about talking to seeing a lot of regular people in 938 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 2: my time. That is what's drawing people in is the 939 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 2: oh twenty dollars worth. 940 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: I will always tell people that's not the move, at 941 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: least right now. 942 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 4: And I was never going to say make that move. 943 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 4: This was more for like, yo, here's information, do what 944 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 4: you want with it. But I was speaking from a 945 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 4: space the side of a creator. I think it's what 946 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 4: Mike was saying as far as like bitcoin being shady. 947 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, one thousand people own forty 948 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 4: percent of it, and I think, like bit with bitcoin, 949 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 4: they're never going to make any more bitcoin how much 950 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 4: money is how much bitcoin is made is the only 951 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 4: amount that will be made. They'll never change that, so 952 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 4: that'll never fluctuate, you know what I'm saying. 953 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 2: But well, but they could decide to change it whenever. 954 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 2: That's my point, and that's where decentralization, I think is 955 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 2: a great goal, but it's so delicate as to how 956 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 2: you get there. Because look, you we talk about how 957 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 2: the FED has made decisions that benefit white people, you know, 958 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 2: like a million percent, right, but the FED is also 959 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 2: has to issue press releases and hold the press conference 960 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 2: every time they make a decision. I can go on 961 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal right now with a glossary and 962 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 2: the ability to google a shitload of words. I'm not 963 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 2: going to understand and read about what the FED chairman 964 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 2: is going to do this week. Like he is tracked 965 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 2: in the financial world the same way the president is tracked. 966 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 4: Right, And they might lie to you and that shit, 967 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 4: but they had to lie to you, you know, they 968 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 4: had to get on the recorded and lied to you. 969 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 2: By saying interest rates are going up. Like just as 970 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 2: for example, I didn't know shit about money until like 971 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 2: basically until we started the Patreon for the podcast. As 972 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 2: you guys know, and I had enough money to where, oh, 973 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 2: I should learn something so that I don't go through 974 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 2: with some other family members of mine went through. 975 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 6: Motherfucker, you was commedary thing, you know, big TV niggas, Funa. 976 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Broke boy, you know. But 977 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 2: I learned enough that when I saw, okay, because of 978 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 2: the pandemic, they're lowering interest rates. I went to our 979 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 2: mortgage guy and I said, I want to refinance the house. 980 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 2: And we lowered our monthly payment on our mortgage by 981 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 2: three hundred dollars. And I went to a bunch of 982 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 2: friends of mine who I know don't know fucking shit 983 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 2: about money, but who owned some little piece of long 984 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,359 Speaker 2: beach or whatever, and I said, let's go refinance. Let's 985 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 2: get some money out of this ship. So you know 986 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 2: what I like. So that's always my thing is the 987 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 2: difference between learning to work within the system from the 988 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,319 Speaker 2: cynical perspective now, which is not how I felt ten 989 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,240 Speaker 2: years ago of I can't do shit about shit except 990 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 2: trying to take care of my family, versus how do 991 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,439 Speaker 2: we decentralize things to where it's a more just world 992 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 2: for my kids to grow up in? U A great point. 993 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 5: I think it's almost a great summary on what if 994 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 5: you will about the the n f T space and 995 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 5: kind of crypto. 996 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't want to do crypto. 997 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 5: But the n FT space, which is currently present day, 998 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 5: it is a great thing to be involved in if 999 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 5: you're interested in like decentralizing in the future. 1000 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: How do we do it? How do we figure it out? 1001 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 5: I'm not convinced a single person, and I have a 1002 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 5: ton of friends who are creators, artists and everything. 1003 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: I've never been like, you should create an NFT. That's 1004 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: how you're going to make your money right right, right right. 1005 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 5: But I think it's important to understand it because I 1006 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 5: feel like it's going to be a quick shift between 1007 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 5: what is this and crap I missed. 1008 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 4: Out right, and that's my thing. That's what I'm thinking. 1009 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 4: Here's information. Like I said, I don't know if it's 1010 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 4: it now, but there's a good chance'll be it. You 1011 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 4: want to get him to this, you know what I'm saying. 1012 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 4: At least understand it because when it's time to tap in, 1013 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 4: you can tap in right now. 1014 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 2: I don't know. Like I said, I ain't telling nobody 1015 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,320 Speaker 2: to buy no motherfucking apes. You feel me. 1016 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 4: I know, and I know, motherfuckers, I got a homie 1017 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 4: that butter ape mate and it is worth hundred seventy 1018 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:16,840 Speaker 4: five k you feel me? 1019 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 2: That's cool for him.

Mike was Mike was Hella. 1026 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 4: You know this motherfucker was you know, fucking white knuckles, 1027 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 4: you know, pink knuckles? 1028 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 2: Ready hot? You know what I mean. 1029 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 4: We're telling them to scale, No, we're not. Here's information 1030 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,840 Speaker 4: that you know. Gatekeeping is the thing. We want to 1031 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 4: give you this information, learn about it, you know what 1032 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 4: I'm saying. And then as we're learning, we want you 1033 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 4: to learn to so we'll all be prepared when it's 1034 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 4: time to take full advantage. And here's here's my perspective. 1035 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 4: Since you threw a pink knuckle joke in there. 1036 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 2: The if you go on Wikipedia, Google whatever, look up 1037 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 2: the Dutch tulip panic is like one of the first 1038 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 2: recorded instances of a speculative asset bubble where everyone in 1039 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 2: I don't even know what country Dutch refers to, is 1040 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 2: that the Netherlands. The Netherlands. Thank you everyone in the Netherlands. 1041 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 2: Suddenly tulips were the thing, and suddenly, you know, the 1042 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 2: people making the you know, the eight versions of the tulips, whatever, 1043 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 2: I gotta have this, dude's tulips. People to buy more 1044 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 2: tulips because they felt like there was and and this 1045 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 2: is the thing where all this is so sort of 1046 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 2: up in the air. They felt like there was utility. 1047 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 2: People love the tulips. They're beautiful. There's an underlying value 1048 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 2: here that's going to keep going up. Obviously, the ship 1049 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 2: didn't keep going up. A lot of people lost a 1050 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 2: lot of ship, and so were you talk about gatekeeping 1051 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 2: information and spreading information. If you'd have just sat that 1052 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 2: one out for four years in the Netherlands in the 1053 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 2: sixteen thirties, that worked out pretty well for you. You 1054 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 2: know what. There was not a smart way to go 1055 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 2: about getting into that. Now. The difference with this is technological. 1056 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 2: There's nothing new technology about flowers. And when we're talking 1057 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 2: about things becoming increasingly digital, that's not a question or 1058 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 2: an opinion of Lauren's. That's obviously the fucking fact of 1059 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 2: the world. 1060 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 4: So but that's where and shit changes much quicker. You 1061 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 4: sit out four years you missed the boat, niggas. 1062 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It might have been a 1063 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 2: boat you wanted to miss. It's my point. 1064 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,320 Speaker 3: Maybe, but maybe not. 1065 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 2: It might not, you know, it might not have been 1066 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 2: the fucking tulips. So you feel me, even if it 1067 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 2: is the toolips. 1068 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 5: I think the difference is and there's a hilarious tweet 1069 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,880 Speaker 5: out there, which I hate that a camera who came 1070 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 5: up with it, but it was like we were we 1071 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 5: weren't supposed to have access to this many people's thoughts, right, 1072 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 5: whatever it was. And it's like that's the difference is 1073 00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:00,319 Speaker 5: that maybe I didn't hear about tulips and stuff back 1074 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 5: then because I live too far away that you know, 1075 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 5: blah bah blah. 1076 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,280 Speaker 1: But but right now I'm seeing all my homies apparently 1077 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:06,400 Speaker 1: talking about this, So. 1078 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 5: To me, I think because of that, I have to 1079 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 5: like talk about here's what it actually is, here's what 1080 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 5: it could be, here's a scamming part of it, here's 1081 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 5: all this, do what you will, And I keep saying, 1082 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 5: hold back do your research, don't just just dive in 1083 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 5: because all this is so new still, like I I 1084 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 5: we are still early until we missed it. And so 1085 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 5: for me it's like, because I think we're so interconnected 1086 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 5: and the we're online, people keep hearing about it. And 1087 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 5: if they if they only hear about oh wait, he 1088 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 5: looked one hundred and two hundred, okay, then they're like, well, 1089 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 5: I should try it. But if there's people at us 1090 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,400 Speaker 5: who are like, eh, but I think. 1091 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 1: That's good, and I do. 1092 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: I just want to compliment you because I think the 1093 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 2: problem that there is a John's correct, that there is 1094 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,839 Speaker 2: an information vacuum. There are a lot of evangelists out 1095 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 2: there do it trying to profit from those stories, trying 1096 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 2: to get as many people in as poss well by 1097 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 2: saying this bot for one hundred and sold for two 1098 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 2: thousand next day. On the other side of that, there's 1099 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 2: a lot of cynical people like me who are going 1100 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 2: exposing people to certain forms of misinformation is not education, 1101 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 2: it's dangerous, et cetera. Like I want to keep this 1102 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 2: ship as far away from the people who trust me 1103 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,240 Speaker 2: as possible, and in the middle there's like probably fifteen 1104 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 2: people like you we got that motherfucker on and we 1105 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 2: got on a. 1106 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: Par That's where it happened. 1107 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 5: Oh, that's where it happened overnight kind of because like 1108 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,839 Speaker 5: I remember, at one point I would pick on Twitter 1109 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 5: and I'd be like, oh, hey, I'm on my NFTs. 1110 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, it's interesting. 1111 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 5: And then one day I got on Twitter and I 1112 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,319 Speaker 5: was like n f ts and I got dms from 1113 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:41,959 Speaker 5: like people I know who are like, this is a scam. 1114 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 1: I can't believe you. Of all people, or I'm like whoa, WHOA. 1115 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm just I wouldn't.

I think what surprises me is 1121 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 5: how passionately people are about a thing that is so new. 1122 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 5: The point I'm trying to make is that it's evolving 1123 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 5: so quickly that anything you hate about it, it's possibly 1124 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,080 Speaker 5: already changed. And I and I think that's what kind 1125 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 5: of keeps me trying to educate people. It's like, I 1126 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 5: don't want you guys to hate it and then miss 1127 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 5: out hate it and hold out it's fine. It's not 1128 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 5: perfect yet, it's not even close to perfect yet. It's 1129 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,880 Speaker 5: still evolving, it's still being being built. Like even I 1130 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 5: think even the fact that we still call them n 1131 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,279 Speaker 5: f ts proves we're too early to me an n 1132 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 5: f T is like asks Jeeves. Anybody asking Jeeves anything anymore. 1133 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 1: It's like, that's my point, it really is. It's it's 1134 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,359 Speaker 1: too early to be all in or to be all out. 1135 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 4: I think, and you say and you say too, which 1136 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 4: I thought was great in the write up. You were like, dude, like, 1137 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 4: if people say they know everything, there is to be 1138 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 4: weary of that. Be very weary of those people. Nobody 1139 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 4: knows everything yet we're all still figuring it out. I 1140 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 4: ain't no experts in this space. It's too early. 1141 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 2: Well, I think that was a full meal and a 1142 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 2: half of good information to start twenty twenty two.

My apprehension remains, and 1215 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 2: I would basically guarantee that at least one real person 1216 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 2: out there will end up losing money over having listened 1217 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,479 Speaker 2: to this interview, gotten interested in the ship and throwing 1218 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 2: their money where they shouldn't be throwing their money. That 1219 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,400 Speaker 2: could happen in stocks as well. That can happen. We're 1220 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 2: having people on to tell people about stocks. 1221 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 4: That are we not going to have people on to 1222 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 4: talk about stocks if that's an important way for people 1223 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 4: to you know, it's important things happened that they could 1224 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,240 Speaker 4: benefit from, you know what I mean. I feel like 1225 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 4: for I think I think we have different ways of thinking. 1226 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 4: I think it's this is one of the we agree 1227 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 4: on most things. You know what I'm saying. 1228 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 2: I think I believe this is literally the first subject 1229 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 2: matter disagreement. I mean, with all the respect to peanut 1230 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 2: butter and jelly and squirrels, this is the first time 1231 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 2: we've actually disagreed about some ship in the group chat. 1232 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like, but this is just from our aspect, 1233 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,920 Speaker 4: Like this this hot like you you talk about you 1234 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, you being a dude, stayed in 1235 01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 4: your city, you know what I'm saying, and and you 1236 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 4: know group built your life around. 1237 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 2: The people you grew up with, right. I literally couldn't 1238 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 2: do that. 1239 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 4: If I wanted to do the shit I wanted to do, right, 1240 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 4: I had to take some risks and all that shit 1241 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 4: to be able to do what the fuck I wanted 1242 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 4: to do. I couldn't build what you built in Saint 1243 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 4: Louis or what I built in Saint Louis. The opportunity 1244 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 4: just wasn't there. So I had to take some risks 1245 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,080 Speaker 4: and so like, I'm not as risk averse. I don't 1246 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 4: think even running. 1247 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 2: A nonprofit journalism outlet that I started because I got 1248 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 2: laid off here, I'm not risk adverse. I feel what 1249 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 2: you're saying, but like you know, I've had to maybe 1250 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 2: take risks you might not have taken. Whatever. 1251 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 4: I think, it just highlights some of our diffritis as 1252 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 4: far as things. The thing you think, like, hey, let's 1253 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 4: hold out telling this information because people can invest, and 1254 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,200 Speaker 4: fuck they should up. I'm like, hey, let's give them 1255 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 4: information and let them make their own decisions, because I 1256 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 4: feel like, not misinformation, the full story make their own decisions. 1257 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 2: I don't think, I mean, and I don't. 1258 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 4: I honestly don't have fens that can invest seventeen k 1259 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 4: into a motherfucking one monkey or something. 1260 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 2: I'm talking about my friends who lost their stimulus check, 1261 01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 2: which if they threw it at SMP tracker, would be 1262 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,000 Speaker 2: worth three times what it was when they got it. 1263 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 2: And that's underwritten, you know what I mean, like in 1264 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,920 Speaker 2: a very different way, and unlike that NFT shit. If 1265 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 2: they lost it, the whole tax code is written around 1266 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 2: people investing in Wall Street. It'd be a tax write 1267 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 2: off for the next ten years, right Like, That's what 1268 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 2: I'm That's what I'm saying. And you my friends are 1269 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 2: dumber than your friends, I mean, I you know what 1270 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,920 Speaker 2: I'm saying, Well, I don't. I'm just like I talk 1271 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 2: about you, but I'm just like, like I've got I've 1272 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 2: got friends who are like very intelligent, creative people, but 1273 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 2: I also have a lot of people who listen to 1274 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 2: me and who listen to the pod and stuff that 1275 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,920 Speaker 2: they see, Oh they're talking about NFT.

Like, and that's those are those 1278 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 2: are those are the people I worry about. And I 1279 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 2: do think about it. I would say the difference to 1280 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 2: me is I think about it more so from the 1281 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,760 Speaker 2: perspective of a journalist. And I've been covering these school 1282 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,080 Speaker 2: board meetings for the last two years. It's a lot 1283 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 2: of people who come and say crazy bullshit at the 1284 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 2: school board meetings. I don't write about that because I 1285 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 2: don't think it's responsible to spread uh misinformation or spread 1286 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: bad information. I totally agree with you. Lauren's not on 1287 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,560 Speaker 2: here doing that, and I thought that was a great 1288 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 2: informative conversation. But that's where I'm coming from, is we 1289 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,919 Speaker 2: already know everything that everyone thinks about everything. We don't 1290 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 2: have to highlight stuff that's going to make people go broke. 1291 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 2: That's I don't think no flus Like I knew very 1292 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 2: little about n f T s. I knew very little 1293 01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 2: about the technology. You know what I'm saying. And I 1294 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 2: think that technology will be used and the concepts be 1295 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 2: used in the future. And that's what I totally agree. 1296 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,280 Speaker 2: Let's tap in with that shit. You know what I 1297 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 2: mean to understand it? 1298 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 4: Like like I said, like, yes, people knowing about n 1299 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 4: f ts and digital art, they may invest and lose money. 1300 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 4: I'm telling you don't do that shit right now if 1301 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 4: you still listening this late the motherfucker pod, you know 1302 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 4: what I mean. 1303 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 2: I don't think you know, I'm personally not going to 1304 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 2: do that, you know what I mean. That's what Instagram 1305 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: is built on.
