Speaker 1 (02:24):
What's the chain of du jour now?
Is it?
Is it based still?
Is it back to soul?
Is it something else?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I think it's like, in my opinion, like I still am
holding a lot of ease, but Ithere's a lot of shit going
plays on soul right now becausethe celebrity stuff that's about
to get liquidated.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I feel it it's going down so bad.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Should I be leveraged , craig?
I had to try it, I had to tryit.
I had to try it, I had to tryit.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's like a drug right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah.
It's my second time I lostmoney the first time and I was
like that feels right, thatfeels right.
I had to try it.
Ak, do you ever play with thisleverage?
It was on Jupiter, it was justanother button.
I clicked it.
I said what's this?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
No man, I know myself I can't do that dude, I'd be
broke so fast.
I have fun with the, I sit inspot.
I have fun with the shit coins,with money, that if I
completely lose it tomorrow I'mall right.
But you know, I know, I knowhow I am by you know, by this
(03:32):
age I'm like dude because I gofull, I go full force man Like I
was.
I was probably come up likepretty decent my first time and
then just be full on hooked andthen just get wrecked.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
That's how it goes.
I'm about to get wrecked.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I think, it's $120 sold and I'm absolutely
liquidated $120?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
That would be rough.
It's not that low right nowit's not, but it got to $140 and
it was at $180.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
By the way, this is not financial advice for anybody
.
Anybody listening to anything.
Do your own shit, we lose, wewin, we dance.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This feels like legal protection.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You notice, there'll be one person that listens and
is going to blame the BFG forjust ruining their family.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Don't single me out over here, you're the influencer
.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Of course he's a green, we'll blame him how?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
many followers on the purple app.
The most followers?
Oh my God, dude, here'ssomething so like.
I don't even remember what thereal number was now, but I think
it was like.
I think I was at like 25,000.
I could be making this up nowat this point, I don't remember,
but all of a sudden, like thebots came in or something.
Dude, because I, there's no way, like I doubled over the past
(04:49):
few weeks.
Are you up to 50, dude?
I'm over like 70?
I'm like yeah what?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
so?
I haven't been on the app in afew weeks.
I don't know what I'm at.
Are you getting paid still forthe d?
Is it still dgen yielding?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
uh, no, I mean it's never that, never really
correlated with that, so much Imean it's just, you know, it's
like I don't know, but the D-Genstuff I mean right now I say
it's more fair than ever interms of like look at the
leaderboard.
I think I'm like number 40overall in like tip aloe, which
(05:21):
I like, and it it's nice becauseit's like and I have like 17
000, which is way lower than itused to be like.
It used to be like 200 000 twoseasons ago.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You know what I mean but yeah, but I haven't been
posting on there really, aka,you're on there a lot too on on
forecaster yeah, I mean Ihaven't been quite as much
lately, I've just been busy,super busy.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But yeah, I mean out of everywhere I'm on there the
most.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Did you get any of the drop?
I was able to?
I don't know how, because Iguess praise be Ed and Mark for
just reminding me to use the app.
I did very little and I got myD-Gen bag from like season one.
I think they just gave awaygifts.
I got tipped or something, andall that for the little bit of
engagement I was doing and Irode.
I just rode, that was it.
Were you able to like pull fromit like well, ed's a special
(06:10):
case, be a, that's special.
You were like top five on thedamn platform you know what?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
you know what the yon ?
Um, I think, like two seasonsago, I ended up close to number
one, as like well, at leastsomeone is human.
Yeah, um, but but Jan was, janwas above me like a season
before that, so like he's donevery well, you know too.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That was a very good benefit, like a year plus two
year salary, job kind of thinggoing on.
Even at current prices it wasstill good, like were you Austin
, were you able to get any outof it or not?
What was it like for you?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
No, I did good, especially the the first couple
of seasons.
Yeah, yeah, I mean I did.
I mean I made a good amount foryou know, for what I typically
make.
You know, I don't, I don'ttrade like big numbers, but like
Same same.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm a, I'm a micro bagger, maybe nano bagging is
the way to call it Like for ahundred, 200.
My most is like when I do well,like that, first Solana, run
from what?
Six, eight months?
I shouldn't say first, that'ssilly.
The Bowdoin one, the one.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Was it last summer?
Oh wait, no, no, no, sorry,when you were saying Seoul.
When you were saying Seoul, ohyeah, yeah, Like that, yeah, so,
like the.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Bowdoin run and all that.
Now I missed the mother run.
There was another run there onthat Iggy Azalea one.
Yeah, Like so I did well enoughthere, where I was able to kind
of punch up my risk number,yeah, where I used to throw like
150 bucks at anything in crypto.
Now I like started creeping up.
That's where that long positioncame from.
(07:47):
I was like let's go, what'sthis mean?
And now I watch it going justvery down.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
How far can I find this?
Yeah, yeah, what does this do?
Yeah, yeah, I can't sell.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I was kind of the same way.
Yeah, I did pretty good on likethe Bowden and then like Boom,
and I did pretty good on likethe Bowden and then like Boom,
and well, actually, like firstwas like Unibot, unibot, like
really last summer was that lastsummer that would have hit big
with that.
Yeah, I was like playing withthat.
(08:19):
That was like my, my play money.
And then like Unibot, and thenI did pretty good on that.
I actually cashed that out tolike Soul.
And then Soul went up and thenlike unibot, and then I did
pretty good on that.
I actually cashed that out tolike soul.
And then soul went up and then,like soul, we got into like the
bowden and the bone, and thebone was ridiculous, that was
insane, like that was such agood um, and then yeah, and then
(08:39):
that kind of rolled into likethe dgen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Uh, and luckily, luckily, I cashed a lot of that
dgen into e, which like so smartI'm learning at least yeah,
nice, I didn't do that very wellyeah so, so, yeah, it's, it's
been pretty good, but but what'sthe vibe?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
what's the vibe now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Like though is is it not as hot as boom?
Like is it?
We're in the give it like aheat check, because I felt like
the bowden boom, all that housethat felt like frothy that felt
like people are gonna kill eachother right now, dude, that's
what it looks like that's.
Yeah, like the timeline bro.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh, but not a forecaster.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, but okay see I've I messed up my algorithm by
.
Sports got hot Like it's theStanley cup and it's the NBA
finals.
I like a lot of sports.
It's like a perfect escape forme.
So it's another reason when NBAplayoffs come, I always go down
in crypto, like always.
Now it's almost over, so thenI'll, then I'll get back in it,
(09:44):
but my timeline on X every timeI go on is now heavy sports
because I haven't been as crypto.
It's very heavy sports becauseI haven't been as crypto.
It's very heavy sports, so I'llgive it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
But I'm spending more time sports wife.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You know stuff like that regular life with that I
need to figure out how to curatemy farcaster timeline a little
better.
That's the thing I follow youguys and stuff stop hey I'm on
the rower, though, dude.
I'm rowing daily, you look goodoh yeah man I feel well, I'm
getting there.
It's baby steps, but I want toget a crypto ritual backing
(10:20):
because I love it.
But here's the real thing too.
You can't my favorite thing, no, no, no.
Well, that's you definitelycan't dude, except soon.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Soon I'll have siri do it.
I'll have the ai do it, butI'll say make me a shitty trade
right now.
Soon I'll have siri do it.
I'll have the ai do it smart.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
But I'll say make me a shitty trade right now,
because I would have done thatfor me, do it for me I have a
running machine right over hereand I haven't gotten on it like
more than once or twice becauseI literally will be on my runs
or whatever, just sitting on myphone and it's such a nice thing
.
But I will tell you, it's nicewhen you're on track.
You have to be very carefulwhen you're doing that elsewhere
.
Dude, I have eaten it and likealmost really hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, I won't do it.
Running is a terrible habit,terrible, it's absolutely brutal
.
Again, I won't make him talkbecause he's coughing, but Mark
is a professional footologist.
He touches feet for a living,so he knows running is terrible
for you.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's not a footologist I messed that up.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's not a footologist, it's because I had
a gummy already.
He has a fancier name I alwaysworry about ed.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, why is?
That because you're alwaystexting in the middle of like
100 degrees while you're out fora run, while you you're doing
trades Like we're.
Just, we need a tracker on youso that way, when you do bite it
one time, we can find you.
You'll be happy to know that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I do use Garmin Connect.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He has bitten it before.
You've tripped before.
I think.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh, dude, I mean, I've had your like really close
calls.
I've had your like I've reallylike biffed it.
And then one time though, Ireally like I was running down a
trail and you know, sometimes,you know what it is it's like
and this is what I talk to markabout.
Sometimes it's like every oncein a while I just don't not to
like get get into, like what'smy, my running issues, but like
(12:05):
I don't lift my right foot,totally well enough, and I'll
catch like a rock or something.
You know what I'm saying.
And, dude, I didn't lift it onlike a trail and it caught a
rock and I, freaking, my arm waslike bent for like two, for
like two, three, four days.
It was weird looking.
I was like, oh, strange, ithurt, but anyway, that's not
good doctoring my man, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Awesome you look.
You look fairly fit.
What's going on, are you?
Are you doing anything in thereal world other than lifting
children, or whatever it is wealways do yes yeah, yeah, I've
been, uh, I've been in a prettygood routine lately.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I've been going to the gym, uh, so I I kind of like
see the tracks boom, tryingdude, trying dude.
There's this dude at the gym.
I'm like no homo, but superjealous.
His traps are so massive.
I just he's there every, nomatter when I go, he's there and
I'm just like dude that's whyyou got.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's what it's shrugs and these and stuff.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's all the stuff that hurts.
I like shoulders.
I like shoulder workouts.
Dude, getting some goodshoulder action there's going on
.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's nice man yeah, I like faking it by, like
flexing hard and being like whatisn't this how I look all time.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I can't wait for this fall to be over so I can relax
and stop.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I can stop flexing Dude.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I saw, I saw something literally in the last
like 24, 48 hours where Iliterally thought to myself is
this guy like pushing hisshoulder, like shoulders forward
?
It was like a photo of it,interesting, interesting, how
that kind of happens.
It was like a photo of it,interesting, interesting how
that kind of happens.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
you know, if you look so tight, you look so tight
like you're clenching yourbutthole up.
You know they're trying toohard.
You know it, dad, you guys aregoing to pull me back in.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I am going to finish the sports, though I'm going to
finish the sports first, but Iwill dabble in the DJ.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Everyone's been busy, you know a baby, you're not
missing too much.
Twitter is wild right now it isreally crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
People are just going at each other.
Wait a minute.
I saw some full nudity porn onTwitter.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's not unusual.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I've never seen that before.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
When did?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
that happen, where you could just get that, I
thought you had to jump throughhoops or be of a certain age.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
The hoop is the quote tweet from Ansem or somebody.
Whenever they tweet one ofthose out, or something like
that.
That's the only time I evercome across it.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's a name I've heard is like a, like a tabloid
name, this Ansem character.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
He's been getting into it lately.
I don't know, me and AK werejust talking about this to
someone else in discord, likeyesterday.
Like personally, I've alwaysgotten along well, well with him
, you know.
So I don't I at all.
I just think it's a situationwhere people are like really
getting on his case and he'slike had it and he flipped out
on people, dude.
So, you know, do I necessarilyagree with what?
(14:56):
And he didn't even apologizefor that today.
He was like dude, like peopleare getting my case, it was my
fault.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Who is he, though?
Is he just an influencer, oryeah?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So he's like last cycle I think I came across him,
but he's really been reallypublic always about his trades,
like all, and giving out thatinformation for free, and I've
always appreciated that.
You know what I mean.
Making that money, yeah, andhis bullishness on Solana is a
big reason why I was reallybullish on Solana too, you know.
(15:29):
So right around the same timeframe when, I you know when,
know, when we were all talkingabout that, you know he was
making tons of posts about thatand that's actually what I think
, what really.
I mean he was already a bigaccount, but that's what really
catapulted him um this cyclemakes sense his bullishness.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
as the people post and like the stuff happens,
followers follow that.
Well, that must be what'shappening to you, though I have,
like, no followers on Farcasterbecause I'm not putting the
time in 60,000 bots and thenlike 20,000 followers?
I don't think they're all bots.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
You don't even know.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
No, I'm serious, you don't even know, I really think
like I had around 25,000, Ithink I don't know If the
Farcaster devs were listening Ithink I had a hundred thousand,
but yeah, it's 25 000 and all ofa sudden, though, like it
really started double, like likeit picked up like really
quickly and that that that's.
That was just unusual to mebecause it was around the same
(16:21):
time.
It was like I think that theymade it or they decentralized it
a bit right.
They removed some of the stufffrom the channels.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It trust me, I mean I'd love to have, don't get me
wrong, do any of you guys?
Austin, I don't know about youI read a lot of newsletters,
like when Ed used to write anewsletter, I would read it.
Maybe you did as well.
I don't know Again a timelineof it.
So I read other newsletters.
Milk Road is this one I alwayslike because they're fun.
It newsletter have any of youheard of it?
(16:54):
No, no, so, and what happenedis I won a free year of their
pro.
Now I've been so unplugged Iwill do this after the nba
finals.
I get into their discord, buttheir pro analyses have these
interesting tidbits like thecurrent one.
This week was something likeethina.
Ethina is a stable coinyielding thing.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I don't know if these are like or uh it's.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was spelled with an E Okay T, h E N Okay A.
Some again their.
Their whole weekly thing isabout stable coins and yield and
shit and I just never know.
I mean, is the, it's they?
They boast 300,000 subscribersbut you never know if that's
just like all right, let mefollow this.
But I've been intrigued and Iget the giggles from their memes
(17:35):
and stuff so I think that's fun.
I just never know if the info'sany good.
So I just copy trade Ed as muchas I can, as much as I humanly
possible.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Dude, don't copy trade.
I mean literally, you copytrade me.
The only thing that you do issell really early every time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But you lock in the proffies, man, you lock in the
proffies, that's a good advice.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I was talking to my buddy the other day and I was
saying I would probably be downpretty bad right now.
I'm pretty bad right now, but Istarted eventually.
I was like I would always see,see Ed like sell and like, like
sometimes like a little early,you know, it still goes up a
(18:19):
little bit, but then he'ssitting happy because it
eventually comes back down.
So I'm like, well, this guy'sbeen around, he knows what he's
doing.
I'm like maybe I should trythat and every time I do it.
I'm happy about it later.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It feels good.
Dude, you're four, four eath,uh, what do you call it?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
uh, what was that?
The swatches?
Yeah, dude, you got a four eathswatch you must have like.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Was that like an alt?
One must have been one of thetop sales was it one or a bunch
of them?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
it was one.
Yeah, yeah, I got a.
I got a rare minted, aone-on-one and yes, yeah, I
actually sold it for once, cause, yeah, dude, dude, absolutely I
sold a hoodie based pump.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I got a lucky draw on the base and that felt like a
miracle because even thoughthere's a heater to the cycle,
it cooled off by the time by thetime, by the time you now again
this is.
I got to give Ed and Mark propson this too.
But like I would have neverheard of on-chain guys I don't
even know if they're doinganything now.
They seemed cool and all, but Iwasn't really connected to that
(19:22):
.
It was just like it was rippingand I was able to turn some of
that into some Solana wins andthis other stuff.
But yeah, I got that base punkand similarly, but you crushed
it.
I actually like I have a swatch, but I kept it.
It was only a base ass, a floorone or whatever.
I like them.
It's the art meta.
Never, never like full scent.
(19:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It just didn't do it.
I bought like a, a semi floorone that I liked.
After I sold that one, you know, because they're they're pretty
cheap, the floor ones yeah, sobecause I like and they remain.
So they remain just as they arecool yeah, but yeah glad I sold
that one man because there's noway of getting 44 now no, no,
(20:07):
even someone like that's.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
The thing about selling early is like you know.
I don't even know was I talkingto one of you guys just about
it earlier in the channel, butit was like you know, I sold my
boom early and cost myself a lotof money, you know unrealized
money, of course, but then themoney that I sold with like
D-Gen and stuff like that andother plays, you know, ogs or
whatever, just taking profit andstuff Like I made more than I
(20:32):
had would have made if thatmakes sense.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So it all came back.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I was browsing.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Sorry, go ahead by the way yeah, go ahead, go ahead
.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I was just going to say I was browsing some of my
old favorites.
I was texting you guys aka Idon't know if this ever happens
for you Like I actually like ArtBlocks.
You know, series 1, the curatedlike Bubble Blobby by Jason,
that shit I can stare at for fora long time.
It's just really cool and I Imight.
They're getting low enoughwhere it just feels like I just
(21:03):
might buy myself one as a giftto myself, kind of thing.
Knowing now, of course, if theyrip again like the before times,
I would sell it.
I would.
I wouldn't get that level ofattachment, but I think I want
to get one or two of these artblocks from back in the day that
like they were the first thingI meant it.
They drew me in that punkscomic, you know that kind of
vibe felt so good.
(21:23):
But I was showing my wife likeI had some wins in that time and
I was like, babe, look at thisthing, Look what it's going for
now.
And she's like, oh, that's cool, that's like a thousand bucks.
I was like, do you rememberwhat I sold it for?
She's like no, and it was likea lot more than that.
So I was like, look, it feltlike I made a good decision
Because there were people thathold on to.
They held on to those 2021rares thinking, well, I have a
(21:45):
rare, I can't leave, it's goingto be there, it ain't there.
That's how they get you, dude.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
That's how they get you.
I just hate people that like Iget upset when you sell stuff
Like gosh.
I know everyone should just becool with whoever's doing
whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I did see for funsies , just to bring up a topic we
all love to hate.
I saw moonbirds has new art, Ithink you know what?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I saw that too, and they're still terrible.
So yeah, the art itself, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I know, I was just teaming you up, brother.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I know, I know, I was just kidding.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
The art itself is good.
I think it's better than thepixel art myself.
I don't know.
It's done, man, it's done.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Am I correct they sold?
Didn't it get sold to Yuga Yuga?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Bored apes, punks, they're all suffering, man, and
if they're all suffering, and ifyou have, like you know, punks
which generally were consideredthe blue, like you know, the
gray.
Yeah, bored, bored apes, whichare more considered below that,
and then whatever, and then.
But if there's a suffering,then like I'm not buying moon
bears, dude.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Just waiting for those art blocks to come down.
Again and again, I'll snag some, I just don't know.
Again and again, I'll snag some.
I just don't know.
Do you guys think that stuff'sever coming back to, even when
there will be more people usingcrypto?
It's growing, right, we know it.
There's more and more peopledoing it, there's more and more
people owning cryptocurrency,but will ever there be a care
(23:12):
amongst those who are not?
2021 ish, 2020 ish, for, likeart block series one?
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Okay, go ahead, dude.
I can see like um, I can seelike a similar cycle to like
baseball card or sports cards,you know, where it like
completely dies for a while andthen you get that you know, like
sports cards is typically like,I want to say like 10 years or
something, maybe more.
It's long, it's long, you know.
(23:41):
But then, like it comes back.
And then that old stuff yeah,there you go.
Uh, that old stuff like noteverything, but some stuff gets
really hot.
Oh, dude, jordan, yep, I gotsome.
I got some cards stashed awaythere I love luca, dude, I
(24:03):
fucking love luca.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
But sorry, I was just saying like I I loved your take
here because I hadn't connectedlike you too, I like maybe it
would come around like cards.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I could because I've lived through three card cycles
yeah, yeah, exactly yeah, I cansee it coming back.
And then people are like, ohman, you know, whatever these
projects were, like this was thefirst one and then this was
like the first you know 10Kproject, or like whatever you
(24:32):
know.
People always come up withdifferent reasons why they're,
why they.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yes, they do, they make them up?
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, but I can see that Historically relevant.
Yeah, always come up withdifferent reasons why they, why
they?
Yes, they do they make them up.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, uh, but I can see that historically relevant,
yeah, yeah this is the first onethat a friend of mine that I
kind of knew bought he wasreally do a lot of things.
So, yeah, yeah, you justconvinced me, though I'm gonna
buy a couple of bubble blobbiesone at a time well, and that's
another thing like early on, Iwas so attached to these things.
It was tough to sell, it wastough, I was able to do it.
(25:00):
I finally got there, but itlike kept me up at night.
Now, after going throughwhatever, I guess maybe a one
cycle, ed, you'd have to tell mehave I technically been through
a whole cycle now, if I've beenin since early 2021?
Yeah, I think so.
Like last cycle, I've Thenthrough one.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
And this is number two, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, so, like now, I don't feel as attached to the
nifties as I used to yeah.
What's your specific ravage bythem?
Correct, I just want to be incrypto.
I never want to leave crypto,but I don't feel that emotion
that I used to feel.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
It was tougher to sell back then.
I don't know if any of you havehad that.
Yeah, definitely diminishment.
When I first first got intonfts I was like man it it was.
It was tough.
You felt like you're like inthis little group and you know
everyone's like oh everything'sgoing to a million dollars.
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Uh, and I mean, like ed alluded to earlier, like
people are brutal, like yousmell them, they're just like oh
, you fucking pussy, like youknow it's rough stuff, but I
mean that makes it hard to plugback in a little bit too because
(26:17):
, like, as we were talking aboutearlier, I'm spoiled that my
favorite thing about my cryptojourney I was able to take out a
crypto.
That's my friendships with withyou know, ed and Mark like they
became close friends.
I like meeting other people too, aka in the discord, like I'm
not throwing negativity towardthat, it's just these guys I'm
texting with every single day,yeah, every day.
We have a friendship like that.
(26:38):
So I think that makes itactually harder for me to plug
back in, because I feel likewhat I got out of it outvalues
everything else.
Like money's cool, money's great, but like and art is cool too.
I'm not trying to shit on artas a concept.
I love it.
I have a lot of respect forpeople that are good at it, but,
(26:59):
like, friendship is rare.
Friendship is rare and tough tobuild.
I'm going to get to see Marklater this year.
We're going to VCon.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's going to be incredible man, that's awesome
we're going to take our baby outthere.
I think my mom's going to makethe journey so she can watch the
baby and hang out.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I might try.
It's not far from here.
Tickets are damn near free.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
The tickets are very affordable.
Vcon this year I paid the most.
Year one I paid like 500 bucks.
Year one, yeah.
Year two I waited a little bit.
It was like two somethingthere's $60 right now to a three
day conference that there's abunch of like actual people.
I own my own business, so likeI will get benefit from this no
(27:46):
matter what.
Yeah, like it's not about thenfts for me yeah, I, I went.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I went the first year actually, I don't I don't have
a v friend, but buddy, my buddydoes and we went together and
did What'd you think?
I had so much fun.
I had so much fun Like.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I went to events.
I went like, met people, I gotNFTs.
Year one was actually my bestyear because I got the admit
ones.
Back then I met G money at anevent and he had this RFID thing
that ended up being a tokenthat got me an admit one.
Back then.
The admit ones were like whenthey remember, do you?
(28:26):
I don't know if you guysremember that one.
When it first came out, no oneknew.
Oh, my God, they're veryaffordable now.
That's a hurtful thing.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Oh my good job.
You sold it.
No, yeah, oh, I sold two ofthem Almost immediately.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I would have sold for less.
They ripped to like six ETHfrom nothing.
They were a free mint.
They ripped, but I was at aconvention working.
I'm showing David the phone.
I'm like this is my nightmare.
I took myself off mobile so Iwas like, well, by the time I
get home, it's going to benothing.
I get home and it's like 11.
And I was like what what?
(29:01):
Yeah, I think I saw one at 13and one at 11.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
So I am not mad at all, I'm not mad at all.
But it does say 0.27.
Now that is rough stuff for thepeople that paid up there.
I feel badly about that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
It's the way she goes right, but I like what they're
about.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
That was an interesting meta.
I don't know if you guys likethe membership meta, the club
meta and how that ran for aminute, Because it wasn't about.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Unfortunately yes, unfortunately, I'm very familiar
with this.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Oh right, my bad, my bad.
That was that other one, onethat was the purple place.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
We don't talk about the purple place now there's the
new one, the new purple place,which is the good purple place
well, that's farcaster that'swhere apparently I need to spend
a little bit more time andcurate my feet a little better.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's what we'd call a callback.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome,you're welcome.
We laced that shit up.
What?
What other stuff do you getinto, though?
Like, obviously you're intodoing art.
What other stuff are you intothat's non-crypto related or
working out which works out realwell?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Yeah, yeah, man, yeah , I mean lately just been been
working, working in real life,uh, and uh, yeah, we've been
watching my nephew, but he wasstaying with us for man, I think
that was like October orNovember or something like that,
(30:28):
and he started staying with us,but now he's, he's back, uh,
most of the times with hisparents, um, so that's been nice
Cool, that was keeping uspretty busy.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, well, now you get to like sleep yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Yeah, it was like it was a lot for a little bit,
cause we actually we took him inand then we had just bought a
house and we were doing a bunchof work to the house and I was
(31:13):
like slammed with work mode fora while because is uh, is a lot
trying to get him transitioninto like how we live compared
to how his parents were livingbefore.
That, uh sure is, is a lot butum, but it's awesome.
I'm glad we're in a position tobe able to help out and see,
that's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I like bringing the nieces and my kid together.
Cousins bring that all around.
But I am distracted now that Ithink is that a humidor behind
you?
Because I do like a cigar, youknow you like cigars?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
yes, sir, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I do.
I'm not an aficionado, I'mactually like probably pretty
much a bitch when it comes tothem because I do flavored ones
sometimes.
I definitely break the rules,like you know.
The brand see this is.
This is why we would get alongin any facet, not just digitally
, because that's the thing Somepeople get all uppity about,
(31:59):
like if they like a thing, yougot to like it only the way they
like it.
Bourbon's like that.
Except I got a great friend whosaid just what you said Austin,
like you like what you like.
Man, if you want to put thisshit in with Coca-Cola because
you like that, you drink that.
I'm never going to shit on you.
Now he's pouring me $150 stuffwhen he's doing it.
But like, I respect the game,but I also like what I like.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I'm going to be 40 soon, like let me just have what
I like.1, dude, I just want toput A1 on my steak.

So now we all know, and nowevery, every listener, single
digit.
Other humans will now know thecore ingredients of war worse to
share right worse to share.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Worse to share worse to share.
I love it I worked a bar too.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I was a bartender.
Were Were you on?
Were you bartending?
Were you serving?
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yes, I started off as a security actually and then,
uh, then became a bar back andthen, yeah, bartended, and then
actually it was like the barmanager for a little while.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Um, did you crack a few heads as security?
Just you know, bam, get themthe fuck out of here.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
This place that I used to work when I started was
rowdy.
It was a beach bar and soeveryone would start drinking
early.
Right when we opened like 10o'clock, they'd start drinking
heavy and by like the evening,especially like weekends.
Like there was a summer wherewe had a fight, probably every
(34:52):
night, because we weren't weweren't like really staffed, for
we had like minimal security,you know.
So like when I started workingsecurity I was just checking IDs
at the door and I was the onlyone there, and then when I
(35:13):
started bartending, the companywas like well, we don't have to
pay a security guard because ourbartender used to do security.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Oh, that stinks.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And it was me and this other guy.
Oh yeah.
Man we got in so many fights.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Have you ever kicked a person in the chest and made
them like blast through a windowor something?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
kick, no, no but uh no front kicks no front kicks
one time there was like therewas like these four ginormous
dudes and uh, and there was thisold timer that uh used to be in
the bar night and he actuallyused to be a badass.
He trained like Chuck Liddell.
Because we're in the.
(35:55):
San Luis Obispo area, but he waslike 75 or something by this
time.
But he would always run hismouth and so he started saying
something to these guys.
And then I looked over andthey're like going at him and I
just ran over and like jumped onthis dude's back and like we
(36:16):
fell into this.
There's like this little ATMroom that was like on the side
of the bar and there's nocameras in there, and the guy,
the old guy, his name is Mikeyhe's like hey, there's no
cameras in here Hit him withsomething and we just started
freaking brawling.
Dude, it was crazy.
It was two on four, yeah yeah,how did it end up?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Obviously, you look handsome as hell.
You didn't break anything toovaluable.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Luckily those guys were pretty drunk.
So it was, yeah, got dealt withone of them pretty quickly.
And then, yeah, dealt with oneof them pretty quickly and then
kind of had another guy on theground and the other two guys
kind of at that point were likeall right.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
They didn't want none .
Yeah, they didn't want none.
That means you broke some noseor something.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
How tall are you, AK?

pretty, but like, but like in ayeah, but yeah, luckily I mean
thenice thing about that is like
(37:39):
those guys are usually drunk.
You know, because I'm not the,I'm not the most badass dude
like, definitely not.
There's so many more peoplethat would whoop my ass but
usually like the people that areacting like idiots in a bar.
Like one, they're drunk.
Two, they're not tough, becausethe tough guys usually don't
(38:01):
act up you know, because theyknow what everyone's asked
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
There's a quiet confidence about that, kind of
like Ed's quiet confidence abouthis excellence in crypto, which
I think is wonderful, I thinkthat is the right way to be.
You see what I did there.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
You see what I did.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Well, here, I'm just shedding praise on all my
friends and not trying to makeMark talk too much because he's
sick, poor.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Mark dude, I know man , that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I appreciate that, but I wasn't going to miss this.
They can.
I've been trying to meet upwith them for like two years now
.
At least you can find.
Oh, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Well, hey, maybe we can coax him into a VCon ticket.
He's already been year one.
They are literally $62.
We would definitely see oneanother there.
But yeah, man, I mean, thanksso much for for jumping on the
pod.
This is literally just a casualconvo situation where we're
really just trying to have waysto connect with friends again.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I come back.
Oh my God, craig, what are youdoing?
Yeah, dude, come back.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well see I'm still in , I feel in, it's just a time
thing, so then, if you'retelling me, are there trades,
trades to be made that arepositive, net positive trades.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You would be more active.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You always have been.
Once the D-Gen side of Craigunleashes or there's a Craig in
the armor.
It just crumbles and then he'sfull force.
You would do pretty well,because they're always in there.
I don't make every play or jumpinto every play, but I'm always
seeing what people are sayingand stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
What's the chain of du jour now?
Is it?
Is it based still?
Is it back to soul?
Is it something else?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I think it's like, in my opinion, like I still am
holding a lot of ease, but Ithere's a lot of shit going
plays on soul right now becausethe celebrity stuff that's about
to get liquidated.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I feel it it's going down so bad.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Should I be leveraged , craig?
I had to try it, I had to tryit.
I had to try it, I had to tryit.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's like a drug right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah.
It's my second time I lostmoney the first time and I was
like that feels right, thatfeels right.
I had to try it.
Ak, do you ever play with thisleverage?
It was on Jupiter, it was justanother button.
I clicked it.
I said what's this?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
No man, I know myself I can't do that dude, I'd be
broke so fast.
I have fun with the, I sit inspot.
I have fun with the shit coins,with money, that if I
completely lose it tomorrow I'mall right.
But you know, I know, I knowhow I am by you know, by this
(03:32):
age I'm like dude because I gofull, I go full force man Like I
was.
I was probably come up likepretty decent my first time and
then just be full on hooked andthen just get wrecked.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
That's how it goes.
I'm about to get wrecked.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I think, it's $120 sold and I'm absolutely
liquidated $120?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
That would be rough.
It's not that low right nowit's not, but it got to $140 and
it was at $180.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
By the way, this is not financial advice for anybody
.
Anybody listening to anything.
Do your own shit, we lose, wewin, we dance.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This feels like legal protection.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You notice, there'll be one person that listens and
is going to blame the BFG forjust ruining their family.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Don't single me out over here, you're the influencer
.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Of course he's a green, we'll blame him how?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
many followers on the purple app.
The most followers?
Oh my God, dude, here'ssomething so like.
I don't even remember what thereal number was now, but I think
it was like.
I think I was at like 25,000.
I could be making this up nowat this point, I don't remember,
but all of a sudden, like thebots came in or something.
Dude, because I, there's no way, like I doubled over the past
(04:49):
few weeks.
Are you up to 50, dude?
I'm over like 70?
I'm like yeah what?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
so?
I haven't been on the app in afew weeks.
I don't know what I'm at.
Are you getting paid still forthe d?
Is it still dgen yielding?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
uh, no, I mean it's never that, never really
correlated with that, so much Imean it's just, you know, it's
like I don't know, but the D-Genstuff I mean right now I say
it's more fair than ever interms of like look at the
leaderboard.
I think I'm like number 40overall in like tip aloe, which
(05:21):
I like, and it it's nice becauseit's like and I have like 17
000, which is way lower than itused to be like.
It used to be like 200 000 twoseasons ago.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You know what I mean but yeah, but I haven't been
posting on there really, aka,you're on there a lot too on on
forecaster yeah, I mean Ihaven't been quite as much
lately, I've just been busy,super busy.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But yeah, I mean out of everywhere I'm on there the
most.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Did you get any of the drop?
I was able to?
I don't know how, because Iguess praise be Ed and Mark for
just reminding me to use the app.
I did very little and I got myD-Gen bag from like season one.
I think they just gave awaygifts.
I got tipped or something, andall that for the little bit of
engagement I was doing and Irode.
I just rode, that was it.
Were you able to like pull fromit like well, ed's a special
(06:10):
case, be a, that's special.
You were like top five on thedamn platform you know what?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
you know what the yon ?
Um, I think, like two seasonsago, I ended up close to number
one, as like well, at leastsomeone is human.
Yeah, um, but but Jan was, janwas above me like a season
before that, so like he's donevery well, you know too.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That was a very good benefit, like a year plus two
year salary, job kind of thinggoing on.
Even at current prices it wasstill good, like were you Austin
, were you able to get any outof it or not?
What was it like for you?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
No, I did good, especially the the first couple
of seasons.
Yeah, yeah, I mean I did.
I mean I made a good amount foryou know, for what I typically
make.
You know, I don't, I don'ttrade like big numbers, but like
Same same.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm a, I'm a micro bagger, maybe nano bagging is
the way to call it Like for ahundred, 200.
My most is like when I do well,like that, first Solana, run
from what?
Six, eight months?
I shouldn't say first, that'ssilly.
The Bowdoin one, the one.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Was it last summer?
Oh wait, no, no, no, sorry,when you were saying Seoul.
When you were saying Seoul, ohyeah, yeah, Like that, yeah, so,
like the.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Bowdoin run and all that.
Now I missed the mother run.
There was another run there onthat Iggy Azalea one.
Yeah, Like so I did well enoughthere, where I was able to kind
of punch up my risk number,yeah, where I used to throw like
150 bucks at anything in crypto.
Now I like started creeping up.
That's where that long positioncame from.
(07:47):
I was like let's go, what'sthis mean?
And now I watch it going justvery down.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
How far can I find this?
Yeah, yeah, what does this do?
Yeah, yeah, I can't sell.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I was kind of the same way.
Yeah, I did pretty good on likethe Bowden and then like Boom,
and I did pretty good on likethe Bowden and then like Boom,
and well, actually, like firstwas like Unibot, unibot, like
really last summer was that lastsummer that would have hit big
with that.
Yeah, I was like playing withthat.
(08:19):
That was like my, my play money.
And then like Unibot, and thenI did pretty good on that.
I actually cashed that out tolike Soul.
And then Soul went up and thenlike unibot, and then I did
pretty good on that.
I actually cashed that out tolike soul.
And then soul went up and then,like soul, we got into like the
bowden and the bone, and thebone was ridiculous, that was
insane, like that was such agood um, and then yeah, and then
(08:39):
that kind of rolled into likethe dgen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Uh, and luckily, luckily, I cashed a lot of that
dgen into e, which like so smartI'm learning at least yeah,
nice, I didn't do that very wellyeah so, so, yeah, it's, it's
been pretty good, but but what'sthe vibe?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
what's the vibe now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Like though is is it not as hot as boom?
Like is it?
We're in the give it like aheat check, because I felt like
the bowden boom, all that housethat felt like frothy that felt
like people are gonna kill eachother right now, dude, that's
what it looks like that's.
Yeah, like the timeline bro.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh, but not a forecaster.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, but okay see I've I messed up my algorithm by
.
Sports got hot Like it's theStanley cup and it's the NBA
finals.
I like a lot of sports.
It's like a perfect escape forme.
So it's another reason when NBAplayoffs come, I always go down
in crypto, like always.
Now it's almost over, so thenI'll, then I'll get back in it,
(09:44):
but my timeline on X every timeI go on is now heavy sports
because I haven't been as crypto.
It's very heavy sports becauseI haven't been as crypto.
It's very heavy sports, so I'llgive it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
But I'm spending more time sports wife.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You know stuff like that regular life with that I
need to figure out how to curatemy farcaster timeline a little
better.
That's the thing I follow youguys and stuff stop hey I'm on
the rower, though, dude.
I'm rowing daily, you look goodoh yeah man I feel well, I'm
getting there.
It's baby steps, but I want toget a crypto ritual backing
(10:20):
because I love it.
But here's the real thing too.
You can't my favorite thing, no, no, no.
Well, that's you definitelycan't dude, except soon.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Soon I'll have siri do it.
I'll have the ai do it, butI'll say make me a shitty trade
right now.
Soon I'll have siri do it.
I'll have the ai do it smart.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
But I'll say make me a shitty trade right now,
because I would have done thatfor me, do it for me I have a
running machine right over hereand I haven't gotten on it like
more than once or twice becauseI literally will be on my runs
or whatever, just sitting on myphone and it's such a nice thing
.
But I will tell you, it's nicewhen you're on track.
You have to be very carefulwhen you're doing that elsewhere
.
Dude, I have eaten it and likealmost really hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, I won't do it.
Running is a terrible habit,terrible, it's absolutely brutal
.
Again, I won't make him talkbecause he's coughing, but Mark
is a professional footologist.
He touches feet for a living,so he knows running is terrible
for you.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's not a footologist I messed that up.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's not a footologist, it's because I had
a gummy already.
He has a fancier name I alwaysworry about ed.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, why is?
That because you're alwaystexting in the middle of like
100 degrees while you're out fora run, while you you're doing
trades Like we're.
Just, we need a tracker on youso that way, when you do bite it
one time, we can find you.
You'll be happy to know that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I do use Garmin Connect.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He has bitten it before.
You've tripped before.
I think.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh, dude, I mean, I've had your like really close
calls.
I've had your like I've reallylike biffed it.
And then one time though, Ireally like I was running down a
trail and you know, sometimes,you know what it is it's like
and this is what I talk to markabout.
Sometimes it's like every oncein a while I just don't not to
like get get into, like what'smy, my running issues, but like
(12:05):
I don't lift my right foot,totally well enough, and I'll
catch like a rock or something.
You know what I'm saying.
And, dude, I didn't lift it onlike a trail and it caught a
rock and I, freaking, my arm waslike bent for like two, for
like two, three, four days.
It was weird looking.
I was like, oh, strange, ithurt, but anyway, that's not
good doctoring my man, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Awesome you look.
You look fairly fit.
What's going on, are you?
Are you doing anything in thereal world other than lifting
children, or whatever it is wealways do yes yeah, yeah, I've
been, uh, I've been in a prettygood routine lately.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I've been going to the gym, uh, so I I kind of like
see the tracks boom, tryingdude, trying dude.
There's this dude at the gym.
I'm like no homo, but superjealous.
His traps are so massive.
I just he's there every, nomatter when I go, he's there and
I'm just like dude that's whyyou got.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's what it's shrugs and these and stuff.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's all the stuff that hurts.
I like shoulders.
I like shoulder workouts.
Dude, getting some goodshoulder action there's going on
.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's nice man yeah, I like faking it by, like
flexing hard and being like whatisn't this how I look all time.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I can't wait for this fall to be over so I can relax
and stop.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I can stop flexing Dude.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I saw, I saw something literally in the last
like 24, 48 hours where Iliterally thought to myself is
this guy like pushing hisshoulder, like shoulders forward
?
It was like a photo of it,interesting, interesting, how
that kind of happens.
It was like a photo of it,interesting, interesting how
that kind of happens.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
you know, if you look so tight, you look so tight
like you're clenching yourbutthole up.
You know they're trying toohard.
You know it, dad, you guys aregoing to pull me back in.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I am going to finish the sports, though I'm going to
finish the sports first, but Iwill dabble in the DJ.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Everyone's been busy, you know a baby, you're not
missing too much.
Twitter is wild right now it isreally crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
People are just going at each other.
Wait a minute.
I saw some full nudity porn onTwitter.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's not unusual.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I've never seen that before.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
When did?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
that happen, where you could just get that, I
thought you had to jump throughhoops or be of a certain age.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
The hoop is the quote tweet from Ansem or somebody.
Whenever they tweet one ofthose out, or something like
that.
That's the only time I evercome across it.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's a name I've heard is like a, like a tabloid
name, this Ansem character.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
He's been getting into it lately.
I don't know, me and AK werejust talking about this to
someone else in discord, likeyesterday.
Like personally, I've alwaysgotten along well, well with him
, you know.
So I don't I at all.
I just think it's a situationwhere people are like really
getting on his case and he'slike had it and he flipped out
on people, dude.
So, you know, do I necessarilyagree with what?
(14:56):
And he didn't even apologizefor that today.
He was like dude, like peopleare getting my case, it was my
fault.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Who is he, though?
Is he just an influencer, oryeah?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So he's like last cycle I think I came across him,
but he's really been reallypublic always about his trades,
like all, and giving out thatinformation for free, and I've
always appreciated that.
You know what I mean.
Making that money, yeah, andhis bullishness on Solana is a
big reason why I was reallybullish on Solana too, you know.
(15:29):
So right around the same timeframe when, I you know when,
know, when we were all talkingabout that, you know he was
making tons of posts about thatand that's actually what I think
, what really.
I mean he was already a bigaccount, but that's what really
catapulted him um this cyclemakes sense his bullishness.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
as the people post and like the stuff happens,
followers follow that.
Well, that must be what'shappening to you, though I have,
like, no followers on Farcasterbecause I'm not putting the
time in 60,000 bots and thenlike 20,000 followers?
I don't think they're all bots.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
You don't even know.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
No, I'm serious, you don't even know, I really think
like I had around 25,000, Ithink I don't know If the
Farcaster devs were listening Ithink I had a hundred thousand,
but yeah, it's 25 000 and all ofa sudden, though, like it
really started double, like likeit picked up like really
quickly and that that that's.
That was just unusual to mebecause it was around the same
(16:21):
time.
It was like I think that theymade it or they decentralized it
a bit right.
They removed some of the stufffrom the channels.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It trust me, I mean I'd love to have, don't get me
wrong, do any of you guys?
Austin, I don't know about youI read a lot of newsletters,
like when Ed used to write anewsletter, I would read it.
Maybe you did as well.
I don't know Again a timelineof it.
So I read other newsletters.
Milk Road is this one I alwayslike because they're fun.
It newsletter have any of youheard of it?
(16:54):
No, no, so, and what happenedis I won a free year of their
pro.
Now I've been so unplugged Iwill do this after the nba
finals.
I get into their discord, buttheir pro analyses have these
interesting tidbits like thecurrent one.
This week was something likeethina.
Ethina is a stable coinyielding thing.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I don't know if these are like or uh it's.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was spelled with an E Okay T, h E N Okay A.
Some again their.
Their whole weekly thing isabout stable coins and yield and
shit and I just never know.
I mean, is the, it's they?
They boast 300,000 subscribersbut you never know if that's
just like all right, let mefollow this.
But I've been intrigued and Iget the giggles from their memes
(17:35):
and stuff so I think that's fun.
I just never know if the info'sany good.
So I just copy trade Ed as muchas I can, as much as I humanly
possible.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Dude, don't copy trade.
I mean literally, you copytrade me.
The only thing that you do issell really early every time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But you lock in the proffies, man, you lock in the
proffies, that's a good advice.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I was talking to my buddy the other day and I was
saying I would probably be downpretty bad right now.
I'm pretty bad right now, but Istarted eventually.
I was like I would always see,see Ed like sell and like, like
sometimes like a little early,you know, it still goes up a
(18:19):
little bit, but then he'ssitting happy because it
eventually comes back down.
So I'm like, well, this guy'sbeen around, he knows what he's
doing.
I'm like maybe I should trythat and every time I do it.
I'm happy about it later.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It feels good.
Dude, you're four, four eath,uh, what do you call it?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
uh, what was that?
The swatches?
Yeah, dude, you got a four eathswatch you must have like.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Was that like an alt?
One must have been one of thetop sales was it one or a bunch
of them?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
it was one.
Yeah, yeah, I got a.
I got a rare minted, aone-on-one and yes, yeah, I
actually sold it for once, cause, yeah, dude, dude, absolutely I
sold a hoodie based pump.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I got a lucky draw on the base and that felt like a
miracle because even thoughthere's a heater to the cycle,
it cooled off by the time by thetime, by the time you now again
this is.
I got to give Ed and Mark propson this too.
But like I would have neverheard of on-chain guys I don't
even know if they're doinganything now.
They seemed cool and all, but Iwasn't really connected to that
(19:22):
.
It was just like it was rippingand I was able to turn some of
that into some Solana wins andthis other stuff.
But yeah, I got that base punkand similarly, but you crushed
it.
I actually like I have a swatch, but I kept it.
It was only a base ass, a floorone or whatever.
I like them.
It's the art meta.
Never, never like full scent.
(19:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It just didn't do it.
I bought like a, a semi floorone that I liked.
After I sold that one, you know, because they're they're pretty
cheap, the floor ones yeah, sobecause I like and they remain.
So they remain just as they arecool yeah, but yeah glad I sold
that one man because there's noway of getting 44 now no, no,
(20:07):
even someone like that's.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
The thing about selling early is like you know.
I don't even know was I talkingto one of you guys just about
it earlier in the channel, butit was like you know, I sold my
boom early and cost myself a lotof money, you know unrealized
money, of course, but then themoney that I sold with like
D-Gen and stuff like that andother plays, you know, ogs or
whatever, just taking profit andstuff Like I made more than I
(20:32):
had would have made if thatmakes sense.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So it all came back.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I was browsing.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Sorry, go ahead by the way yeah, go ahead, go ahead
.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I was just going to say I was browsing some of my
old favorites.
I was texting you guys aka Idon't know if this ever happens
for you Like I actually like ArtBlocks.
You know, series 1, the curatedlike Bubble Blobby by Jason,
that shit I can stare at for fora long time.
It's just really cool and I Imight.
They're getting low enoughwhere it just feels like I just
(21:03):
might buy myself one as a giftto myself, kind of thing.
Knowing now, of course, if theyrip again like the before times,
I would sell it.
I would.
I wouldn't get that level ofattachment, but I think I want
to get one or two of these artblocks from back in the day that
like they were the first thingI meant it.
They drew me in that punkscomic, you know that kind of
vibe felt so good.
(21:23):
But I was showing my wife likeI had some wins in that time and
I was like, babe, look at thisthing, Look what it's going for
now.
And she's like, oh, that's cool, that's like a thousand bucks.
I was like, do you rememberwhat I sold it for?
She's like no, and it was likea lot more than that.
So I was like, look, it feltlike I made a good decision
Because there were people thathold on to.
They held on to those 2021rares thinking, well, I have a
(21:45):
rare, I can't leave, it's goingto be there, it ain't there.
That's how they get you, dude.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
That's how they get you.
I just hate people that like Iget upset when you sell stuff
Like gosh.
I know everyone should just becool with whoever's doing
whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I did see for funsies , just to bring up a topic we
all love to hate.
I saw moonbirds has new art, Ithink you know what?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I saw that too, and they're still terrible.
So yeah, the art itself, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I know, I was just teaming you up, brother.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I know, I know, I was just kidding.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
The art itself is good.
I think it's better than thepixel art myself.
I don't know.
It's done, man, it's done.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Am I correct they sold?
Didn't it get sold to Yuga Yuga?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Bored apes, punks, they're all suffering, man, and
if they're all suffering, and ifyou have, like you know, punks
which generally were consideredthe blue, like you know, the
gray.
Yeah, bored, bored apes, whichare more considered below that,
and then whatever, and then.
But if there's a suffering,then like I'm not buying moon
bears, dude.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Just waiting for those art blocks to come down.
Again and again, I'll snag some, I just don't know.
Again and again, I'll snag some.
I just don't know.
Do you guys think that stuff'sever coming back to, even when
there will be more people usingcrypto?
It's growing, right, we know it.
There's more and more peopledoing it, there's more and more
people owning cryptocurrency,but will ever there be a care
(23:12):
amongst those who are not?
2021 ish, 2020 ish, for, likeart block series one?
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Okay, go ahead, dude.
I can see like um, I can seelike a similar cycle to like
baseball card or sports cards,you know, where it like
completely dies for a while andthen you get that you know, like
sports cards is typically like,I want to say like 10 years or
something, maybe more.
It's long, it's long, you know.
(23:41):
But then, like it comes back.
And then that old stuff yeah,there you go.
Uh, that old stuff like noteverything, but some stuff gets
really hot.
Oh, dude, jordan, yep, I gotsome.
I got some cards stashed awaythere I love luca, dude, I
(24:03):
fucking love luca.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
But sorry, I was just saying like I I loved your take
here because I hadn't connectedlike you too, I like maybe it
would come around like cards.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I could because I've lived through three card cycles
yeah, yeah, exactly yeah, I cansee it coming back.
And then people are like, ohman, you know, whatever these
projects were, like this was thefirst one and then this was
like the first you know 10Kproject, or like whatever you
(24:32):
know.
People always come up withdifferent reasons why they're,
why they.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yes, they do, they make them up?
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, but I can see that Historically relevant.
Yeah, always come up withdifferent reasons why they, why
they?
Yes, they do they make them up.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, uh, but I can see that historically relevant,
yeah, yeah this is the first onethat a friend of mine that I
kind of knew bought he wasreally do a lot of things.
So, yeah, yeah, you justconvinced me, though I'm gonna
buy a couple of bubble blobbiesone at a time well, and that's
another thing like early on, Iwas so attached to these things.
It was tough to sell, it wastough, I was able to do it.
(25:00):
I finally got there, but itlike kept me up at night.
Now, after going throughwhatever, I guess maybe a one
cycle, ed, you'd have to tell mehave I technically been through
a whole cycle now, if I've beenin since early 2021?
Yeah, I think so.
Like last cycle, I've Thenthrough one.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
And this is number two, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, so, like now, I don't feel as attached to the
nifties as I used to yeah.
What's your specific ravage bythem?
Correct, I just want to be incrypto.
I never want to leave crypto,but I don't feel that emotion
that I used to feel.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
It was tougher to sell back then.
I don't know if any of you havehad that.
Yeah, definitely diminishment.
When I first first got intonfts I was like man it it was.
It was tough.
You felt like you're like inthis little group and you know
everyone's like oh everything'sgoing to a million dollars.
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Uh, and I mean, like ed alluded to earlier, like
people are brutal, like yousmell them, they're just like oh
, you fucking pussy, like youknow it's rough stuff, but I
mean that makes it hard to plugback in a little bit too because
(26:17):
, like, as we were talking aboutearlier, I'm spoiled that my
favorite thing about my cryptojourney I was able to take out a
crypto.
That's my friendships with withyou know, ed and Mark like they
became close friends.
I like meeting other people too, aka in the discord, like I'm
not throwing negativity towardthat, it's just these guys I'm
texting with every single day,yeah, every day.
We have a friendship like that.
(26:38):
So I think that makes itactually harder for me to plug
back in, because I feel likewhat I got out of it outvalues
everything else.
Like money's cool, money's great, but like and art is cool too.
I'm not trying to shit on artas a concept.
I love it.
I have a lot of respect forpeople that are good at it, but,
(26:59):

rowdy.
It was a beach bar and soeveryone would start drinking
early.
Right when we opened like 10o'clock, they'd start drinking
heavy and by like the evening,especially like weekends.
Like there was a summer wherewe had a fight, probably every
(34:52):
night, because we weren't weweren't like really staffed, for
we had like minimal security,you know.
So like when I started workingsecurity I was just checking IDs
at the door and I was the onlyone there, and then when I
(35:13):
started bartending, the companywas like well, we don't have to
pay a security guard because ourbartender used to do security.
