5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,200

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm so thankful for all the people who have been

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,640

00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: doing episodes, like particularly last week's episode, and then we

00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: did win a couple of weeks ago about n f

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: t S. These have been solo episodes, so they kind

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 1: of stretched me a little bit outside of my comfort zone.

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Some thankful for all the positive feedback we've been getting

13

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: the messages I've been getting about these episodes. So we're

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna do it again today Today, I wanted to spend

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: a few minutes talking about some of the terminology I've

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: seen with people that I follow, like on Twitter and

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: others on Instagram. Also, like, there are there are people

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: that I follow who are also really really big into

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: n f T s and they had they used some

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: terms in a lot of their tweets that I want

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: to make sure you understand what they mean. I'm one

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: of those people when I see it, when I come

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: across the term in a book, or I come across

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: the term just like reading an article and I don't

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: know what it means, I'm gonna hit the Google. But like, yo,

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: like what does this mean? But I understand not all

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: of us do that. I understand that sometimes we just

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: take for granted that we will understand if we keep

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: reading this sentence or whatever. But I what I want

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: to do today is take a moment of people who

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: have not done dug deeper into uh a phrase that

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: they've heard or perhaps UM in the acronym. What I

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: wanted to do today is dig into some of the

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: most popular ones, the most frequent ones I've seen come

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: across my feeds, and hopefully they are ones that you

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: may have seen and maybe you've had some questions about them.

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do my best here to explain a

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: lot of these things so that hopefully by the end

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: of this episode you are more equipped to win and

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: be successful with your journey into non fungible token So

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get super deep into things that have

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: nothing to do or I shouldn't say that for things

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: that are not specifically related to n f t s,

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of directions we can go and

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: we can go really deep into dials, we can go

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: really deep into smart contracts, we can go really deep

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: into currencies, and they are all relative to n f

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: t s. But I want to go specifically into things

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: that are most most specifically specifically twice, I want to

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: go specifically into the things that are most directly related,

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be some things I don't mention, So

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that up whenever you put together a

60
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: list or something like this, there's somebody who's gonna say, well,

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: you didn't do this one, and so that's gonna happen.

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: But some of the things that have been most frequently

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: across my desk, I want to make sure that we

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: explain today. So if you've ever heard of the word

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: or the phrase insider trading. So think of this as

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: you work at Coca Cola. Coca Cola is a publicly

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: traded company. Let's say you're an executive, you like the CTO,

68
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: you're a vice president of a division, and you know

69
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: that Coca Cola is about to get into selling n

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: f T s, and so you know that the minute

71
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Coca Cola announces that they're going to sell n f

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: T s, their share price is going to move. If you,

73
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: being vice president of a division CTO CFO of Coca Cola,

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: go ahead and make bets on that movement before anybody

75
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: else even has an opportunity to understand what's happening. That's

76
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: called inside of trading. Right. So there's a word in

77
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: n f T space called alpha. What alpha means is

78
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: your alpha ng into something means you have access to

79
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: like important insider information that most people don't know. For instance,

80
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: we just released, um the afro Tech World Metaverse n

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,120

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Tech World conference comes up April UM. So we just

83
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: we just dropped remember that, put a bookmark there. We

84
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: just dropped the afro Tech World n f T ticket,

85
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,400

91
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: you get to be a part of the community. So

92
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: I knew that this was coming. We just announced it

93
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: like this past week. I knew weeks ago this was coming,

94
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: so I have insider information. So if I was to

95
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: dig in, I was alphaing into the afro Tech n

96
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: f T ticket because I had important insider information like

97
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: nobody else knew this. I had insider information that the

98
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: world did not know, and I got into it before

99
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: everybody else had an opportunity to see what was going on.

100
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: So I alpha into the afro Tech World n f

101
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: T ticket. Our for alphae in in motion aping into

102
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: something aping like like monkey, like ape a gorilla aping

103
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: into something. Um. So we've all seen this. If you

104
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: have anything to do with you know, if you've got

105
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: a Twitter account, you've seen people aping and stuff. I

106
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: don't care like what you follow on Twitter. You've seen

107
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: people just go dumb about certain n f T projects.

108
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: Another bookmark. Put put a bookmark their projects. We're gonna

109
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: come back to that. Aping into something means, it's it's

110
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: it's effectively like embedded in the DNA of fomo fear

111
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: of missing out. You see something going him on, an

112
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: n f T project going crazy, and you go and

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: you buy you you like, invest into that n f

114
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: T project without even doing much research at all. And

115
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: these could be scams, these could be valid projects, whatever

116
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: they are. You're just getting involved very financially fiscally irresponsibly

117
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: because because you just see a bunch of things happening

118
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: in the space and you're like, I'm about to go

119
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: and drop half of my savings into this particular project

120
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: without reading a white paper, like, without getting any without

121
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: doing any homework. It's just irresponsible. I don't care how

122
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: many people talking about it. It's irresponsible if you have

123
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: not done your homework. Air drop. I want to talk

124
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: about air drop because this is actually something pretty cool

125
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: and it's a great way to increase your n f

126
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: T library, your personal holdings. Air drop means, let's say

127
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: you are a part of a discord channel, and like

128
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Gary Vychu, like Gary Vanychuk has, they do a lot

129
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: of this with V Friends. Let's say you're part of

130
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: V Friends discord channel. What they will do is in

131
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: order to generate interests around valuable V Friends n f

132
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: T s is they will drop free n f T

133
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: s in exchange for you doing something or being engaged.

134
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: That's why they will drop these things to just reward

135
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: people who are engaged in the community of V Friends.

136
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: So let's say I was a matter of fact, I

137
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: was watching or listening to a discord conversation. UM want

138
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I want to say about three weeks ago, there was

139
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: a football game on and it was on one of

140
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: the sports channels of V Friends discord channel, and they

141
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: were you had to listen for a period of time

142
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: and if you listen or I should say, if you're

143
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: still listening around the time where they announced the where

144
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: the how like what do you have to do to

145
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: get this free n f T, you were then rewarded

146
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: with that n f T. So, for instance, um, they

147
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: would say okay, like on like every half an hour

148
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: or once an hour or whatever, they would announce we're

149
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna open up another channel on V friends on discord

150
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: and right now, for the next five minutes, you can

151
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: go to that channel, and whoever goes into that channel

152
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: and drops, you know, the A pound sign whatever, you're

153
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: gonna be rewarded with this n f T. This air

154
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: dropped n f T. But you had to be listening

155
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: when they announced that they were going to open up

156
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: that channel, because the channel wasn't always open. So it's

157
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot like you ever listened to radio back in

158
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: the day and they were giving the way tickets to

159
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: like a future concert, and they would say, you know,

160
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: you have to be listening for the phrase that pays,

161
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: And so you have you're listening all day long waiting

162
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: to hear this phrase that pays. And then as soon

163
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: as you hear the phrase that pays, you gotta call

164
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: in in order to get those free future tickets. But

165
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: if you weren't listening, let's say you got out of

166
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the car. Let's say you, you know, turned off your

167
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: headphones for a minute, and you missed the call for

168
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: the phrase that pays. You missed your opportunity to get

169
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: those future tickets. Is this air drop to work the

170
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: same way. So if you're listening like to a discord, conversation.

171
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: They can drop that free n f T whenever, and

172
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen in a variety of ways. I'm just

173
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: using the discord example as an example. You know, this's

174
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen via Twitter, that's gonna happen in your d M.

175
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna happen all sorts of ways. That's happening

176
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: live at a at a show. But they will drop

177
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: n f T s free n f T s in

178
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: exchange for your engagement, just rewarding people who are part

179
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: of the community. Okay, I see, I have probably have

180
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: to speed up or I'm gonna just do this in

181
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: two parts because I'm taking a long time to get

182
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: through these doubt UM stands for decentralized autonomous organization. So

183
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: there are a lot of or more and more projects.

184
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: I should say that owning an n f T in

185
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: this community, in this project allows you voting rights and

186
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,239
Speaker 1: whatever the voting rights are written to be as dictated

187
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: in the smart contract. And so particularly like let's say,

188
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: if you own a red Head n f T, I'm

189
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm making this up. I'm making up an n f

190
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: T project, and they're called the red Heads. There are

191
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: ten thousand red heads in this particular n f T project,

192
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: and all the characters in this project have red heads,

193
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: everything for monkeys to people too, squirrels, but all of

194
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: them have red heads. Okay, but the DOW says, if

195
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: you own a red head n f T, you get

196
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: a voting right to say what the next head is

197
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: going to be in the next set of ten thousand.

198
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: So everybody who owns an n f T gets one

199
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: vote in this particular scenario. You own you own one

200
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: of these red head n f T s, you get

201
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: one vote. If you own ten, you get ten votes.

202
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: And so the next project is going to drop in

203
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: three months, and it's written in the smart contract what

204
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: power that particular n f T holder has that is

205
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: correspondent to their votes. So if again, if I have

206
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: ten redheads, I get ten votes in this particular scenario

207
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: that says I get to dictate alongside my ten votes

208
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: that I want the next set of ten thousand um

209
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: red heads to actually be orange heads. So now I

210
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: have ten votes to make the next collection orange heads.

211
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: Now what's so cool about this is there you can

212
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: foreseeably see a day where this could actually be like

213
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: a homeowners association or actual government to where where people live.

214
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: If you if you own an n f T for

215
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, Detroit, Michigan, you could help to dictate what

216
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: the future of Detroit, Michigan looks like with your vote.

217
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Who's going to be in the state legislature with your vote,

218
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: your n f T vote n f T s. I

219
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: don't want you to think of n f T s

220
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: as just art because n f T s are not

221
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: just are they We are using them primarily to hold

222
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: art today. But it's an n f T is a

223
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: technology that can be across any vertical and it could

224
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: actually have real life implications to how you live and

225
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: move in the world ultimately. So that's the direction we're

226
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: going in, which is why these conversations are so important.

227
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: So an n f T as part of a DOW,

228
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: a decentralized altonomous organization, could dictate whether your grass is

229
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: allowed to be three inches or four inches because you

230
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: hold a vote inside your homeowners association, which is an

231
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: n f T, which is part of a DOLL in

232
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: this world, so that is your vote. Your n f

233
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: T serves as your vote as part of a DOLL.

234
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: A decentralized autonomous organization gives you voting rights. So the

235
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: next two phrases are actually kind of my favorite too,

236
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: UM definitions that we're gonna do today. One of them

237
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: is out of alphabetic order, but it makes sense to

238
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: do with them together. Um. The next one is diamond

239
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: hands and paper hands. Um. These are fun to me

240
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: because I love the conversation that we have when let's

241
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: a bitcoin drops by ten percent over you know, a

242
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: period of three days, and like, people like the world

243
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: is on fire or you know, Ethereum goes up ten

244
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: percent and people like, you know, there's a rush on

245
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: this thing. There's a rush on those coins. There's a

246
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: rush on Sheba. And then as soon as you know,

247
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: it goes down one tenth of a percent, you know,

248
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: people like, you know again the world is burning. So

249
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: n f T S, you know, these these are the

250
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: two phrases that we're gonna use specifically regarding n F

251
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: T S. Diamond hands is when you describe a person who,

252
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, what, I believe in this. I believe in this,

253
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: you know art, I believe in this particular project. I'm

254
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna hold onto it. I don't care what you're talking

255
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: about with the value. I don't care what you're talking

256
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: about with the price fluctuations. I don't care what you're

257
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: talking about with the volatility, the negative news. I'm holding

258
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: onto this because I believe in it, or I'm gonna

259
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: hold on it for some other reason. But I'm holding

260
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: onto it for whatever my reasons are. I'm holding on

261
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: to these n f t s regardless of the volatility

262
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: in the marketplace. Paper hands is kind of like the

263
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: opposite of diamond in So paper hands is somebody who's like,

264
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm getting rid of this, and they might

265
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: actually be losing money on the on the cell of

266
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: their crypto or their n f T because paper hands

267
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: means you sold it at too low of a price.

268
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: Let's say somebody today like I don't even know what

269
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: crypto punks are going for, but let's just say you

270
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: know they're going for like a bunch of heather, and

271
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: the cheapest one you can find it's like a hundred grand.

272
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: So now somebody goes and sell its for dollars. That's

273
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: paper hands, because like, you sold it way under price,

274
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: you got it. I don't have to go deeper into this, y'all.

275
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: I'll get the point, y'all. SMERT. The next one is

276
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: probably the fastest definition. I'm gonna have this whole episode.

277
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: And it's a drop. I told y'all to Bookmarket when

278
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I said earlier, a drop just means it's the launch

279
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: of the n f T, Like we just launched the

280
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: Afro Tech World Metaverse n f T. It's officially launched.

281
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: We dropped it. Boom. The next one is actually probably

282
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: the most fun to do UM and that's d R.

283
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: And this is not like Kristen d R or this

284
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: is not a fashion this is d R D Y

285
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: who are? This is when you should do your own research.

286
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: This is you know, remember that you might have heard

287
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: the story of the people who bought what's the show

288
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: that was on Netflix squid Game. So these people, a

289
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: bunch of people, a lot of people bought these squid

290
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: coins that it was a play that earned cryptocurrency squid.

291
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: It was called squid and a bunch of people bought

292
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: these squid coins, and the the developers of these coins

293
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: didn't allow people to resell the tokens, and so ultimately

294
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: it was deemed like a rug pool, which will come

295
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: back to and maybe part two because I'm going over

296
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: long rug pool. Um. They didn't allow people to resell

297
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: those tokens, and then the people who developed this coin

298
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: is token took off with everybody's money. It was a scam.

299
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: And so if you would have done your own research,

300
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: you probably would have read the white paper. You probably

301
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: would have looked into the founding team. You probably would

302
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: probably would have looked into things that they may have

303
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: done in their past. You would look at the resume

304
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: to see, you know, are these credible people to be

305
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: putting together a new project. And before I invest a

306
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: bunch of money, instead of just going on the hype,

307
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to do my own research. Do you or

308
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: do your own research instead of just going with the

309
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: hype because you're listening to people all on the internets,

310
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: you can lose your money. Don't follow the hype, pay attention,

311
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: then do your research. Floor. Um, this is I kind

312
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: of mentioned this before and when I was describing another

313
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: term a minute ago, and it was about like what

314
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: is the cheapest way I can get into a particular community,

315
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: So like the floor is the cheapest item in a

316
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: project like crypto punks. So let's say I want to

317
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: find a crypto punk that I can afford and I'm

318
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: not jay Z, so I don't know what. But jay

319
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: Z paid for his let's just say he paid like

320
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. And so I'm not jay Z,

321
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: and I can't pay seven hundred fifty dollars for a

322
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: crypto punk. And it's I go. I go to you

323
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: know whatever they're settling them, maybe they're on open Sea.

324
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: And then I go and look, Okay, well, if I

325
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: can't spend seven d fifty dollars, what is the cheapest

326
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: crypto punk I can find? So I just did a

327
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: quick Google search and what I found was the cheapest

328
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: crypto punk that is available today is UM three thousand dollars.

329
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: So you have to determine whether that's manageable for you.

330
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: But that is the floor for n f T s

331
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: in that particular project, three thousand dollars. That's the bottom. Fomoh,

332
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't have to spend a bunch of time here.

333
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: You know what fear of missing out is. I know

334
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people buying crypto punks. I know a

335
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: lot of people buying um B, a YC board, a

336
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: yacht club. I know a lot of people buying these things.

337
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: Unless you know, I can go and feel some type

338
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: of way because I'm I'm missing out this you know,

339
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: money grab and so that's a fear, and so people

340
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: do strange things when they're afraid. And so you don't

341
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: have to go buy things, but a lot of people

342
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: do buy things because they fear like they feel like

343
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna miss out. So it's a fear of missing out.

344
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: It's called phone gas. We talked about this on podcast before.

345
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: But gas is the fuel. It's the toll that you

346
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: pay for playing in this game on the Ethereum network.

347
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: So I mentioned before on the podcast that every time

348
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: you interact with the blockchain, you are using computational power.

349
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: So gas is the fee you pay for that computational

350
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: power because those computers somewhere in the world, all over

351
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: the world use electricity. And more so, you are paying

352
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: for that computational data that block to be adjusted based

353
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: on your activity, whether you're buying n f T, whether

354
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: you're selling an n f T, whether you're minting an

355
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: n f T. Every time you interact with the blockchain,

356
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay for it. It's called gas. It's the

357
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: tax you pay metadata. This one's fun for me because

358
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: I take pictures and I'm a videographer and an editor.

359
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: So you know, whenever have you if you've ever taken

360
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: a photo like on your iPhone or for an actual

361
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: like you know, camera, like a cannon or whatever, and

362
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: you put it onto a computer and you open it up,

363
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: you can sometimes see a bunch of other stuff in

364
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: the file that you didn't realize where in the file.

365
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: You just thought the picture was in the file. But

366
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: then you find the name of the file written on

367
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: this you know, get info. You find like the date

368
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: and time the photo was taken. Inside the image, you

369
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: find the camera information. You find the settings that the

370
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: camera was set to at the time the photo was taken.

371
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: You find all where the photo was taking in the world.

372
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: You find all this other data that you didn't realize

373
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: might have been baked into the image. You just thought

374
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: you were taking a picture, but you didn't realize you

375
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: were collecting all this other information. That's called metadata. And

376
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: in every n f T, there's other data outside of

377
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: just the visual thing that you might see. There is

378
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: other information that makes that n f T unique. It

379
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: could be the name of the author, it could be

380
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: the dating time it was created, It could be the

381
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: device it was created on. That can be spelled out

382
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: in the main day in the metadata. It could be

383
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: the location the n f T was creating. All this

384
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: other information makes that particular n f T unique and

385
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: it's baked into the n f T. So I've been

386
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: doing a lot of creation of my own n f

387
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: T s, and we're gonna talk about that because that's

388
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: called minting in n f T. I did an episode

389
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago that was like, how to

390
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: mention your first n f T. It's a very valuable episode,

391
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: So if you have not heard it, please go back

392
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: a couple of episodes ago and listen to how to

393
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: ment your first n f T. And So, what minting

394
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: in n f T means, it's when you put a

395
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: digital asset into circulations so that it can be bought

396
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: by somebody else. And so let's say you create a

397
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: piece of digital art, or you took a picture of

398
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: a piece of art and you made it into you know,

399
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: a f T. You put it on the blockchain that

400
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: you went to open See or some other platform where

401
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: you can mint n f T s, and you put

402
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: it up for sale. You put it up for auction.

403
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: That's called minting inn n f T. So when you

404
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: take a digital asset, you place it on the block

405
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: chain so that it can be purchased by somebody else.

406
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: You you put in the circulation and somebody else can

407
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: be You can buy it, they can sell it, they

408
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: can collect it. But whatever they are doing, they can

409
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: only do it because you put the item up for grabs.

410
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: PfP profile pictures. So if you've probably seen if you're

411
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: on Twitter, like jay Z's p FP his profile picture

412
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: which is a crypto punk, and a lot of other

413
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: people have their profile pictures set to their n f

414
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: t s and for instance, like these are not just avatars.

415
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: These are not just just pictures that somebody said, Okay,

416
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this my avatar, but these are verified

417
00:23:54,800 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: like algorithmics set it set uh pictures and so often

418
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: in order to create like a p A an actual

419
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: p FP, you need you need to attach your digital

420
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: wallet to the platform, like for instance, on Discord, I

421
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: can connect my coin base or meta mask wallet to

422
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: my Discord, which then verifies that I own this particular image,

423
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: whether it be a JPEG, a PNG, or otherwise. But

424
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: it is my profile picture now, so I said it

425
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: as my profile picture, but it's verified that I own

426
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: that particular image. It's unique to me project. If you've

427
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: ever heard anybody say, you know this n f T project,

428
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: Like what do they mean? Um? And n f T

429
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: project is a collection. It's a collection of art or

430
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: other digital assets that are you know, all released as

431
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: part of like a series or some overall you know

432
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: story or roadmap. UM, like crypto punks is a project

433
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: because like there's ten and there's ten thousand n f

434
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: T s in this particular project a board a yacht club,

435
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Like that's a project. I don't I think there's ten

436
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: that ten thousand in that one also, but the collection

437
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: is called a project as simple as that. The rug

438
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: pool is something that we talked about earlier when we

439
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: were talking about squid games. Like when they go create

440
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: these tokens, these n f T s or whatever, and

441
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: then they see a bunch of people like ape n

442
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: They didn't do their homework, They just ape into something,

443
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: and you know, they stopped working on the project, or

444
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: they take the money and run, or they shut the

445
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: project down completely. All the n f T s could disappear.

446
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Because we're gonna talk about this one day too. I'm

447
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: so excited to talk about this idea. Your n f

448
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: T can disappear, and we're gonna talk about that on

449
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: another episode. Now is not the time, but it can

450
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: happen and you could have no control over it. But

451
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: the rug pool is effectively a scam. You know, you

452
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: got the rug pool from under you, so you bought

453
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: of these squid coins, these squid tokens, these squid and

454
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: their t s, and the developers did some shady stuff.

455
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: They run off with the money. Now, whale is something

456
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna end here because I actually didn't

457
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: think I would get through all of these on this episode,

458
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: but I did pretty good. A whale is somebody who's

459
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: just got a bunch of money to invest in n

460
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: f T s. Now, this is not the same, particularly

461
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: as just somebody with a bunch of money. This is

462
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: somebody with a bunch of money that has it to invest.

463
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: It's like in their wallet, their digital wallet or the

464
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: cold wallet. This is somebody who's got a bunch of

465
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: ethereum or bitcoin or whatever. They've got a bunch of

466
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: money ready to invest in their account. They are considered

467
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: a whale. So I would imagine somebody like Jack Dorsey,

468
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, immediate past CEO of Twitter, CEO currently of Square.

469
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: That's somebody like a whale. I can't imagine him having

470
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of money in his digital wallet, or somebody

471
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: like an Elon Musk they have a bunch of money

472
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: in their digital wallet. I can imagine. There's probably some

473
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: people that you and I are very familiar with, like

474
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: a Future or Meek Mill or jay Z who has

475
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of money cryptocurrency in their wallet and it's

476
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: able to be invested, or is already invested in a

477
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: bunch of n f T projects, or you know what

478
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: was select few of highly valuable n f T projects.

479
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: So what's important to know about Wales is not that

480
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: you could just point them out, but there's there are

481
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: people who can make the whole market move, like you know,

482
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: they could send out a tweet about a particular thing.

483
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: I remember when Elon Musk was talking about Sheba like

484
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: and the market on Sheba moved because he was into it.

485
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: I remember when Tesla said, you know, or the people

486
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: a Tesla said, you know, like we're going to accept

487
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: particular cryptocurrency, and then all the whole market for this

488
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: particular currency just moved. And so that's what you call

489
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: a whale somebody who has a bunch of money or

490
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of coins able to be invested, and they

491
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: could move markets should they used to wield that power.

492
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: So that is what you call a whale. So they're

493
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: obviously so many more terms out there, definitions that could

494
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: have been made that while I may make later in

495
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: another episode, but at least wanted to give you a

496
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: really solid foundation. If you get a handle of the

497
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: terms that we've talked about today, you will have a

498
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: very good foundation of, you know, knowledge that you can

499
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: build on to help you in your journey to you know,

500
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: curate a really cool n f T collection and hopefully

501
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: build value with that collection. So you can see an

502
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: r o I. So we're gonna talk more about n
