2022-08-23T13:07:34.93Z piovincenzo_:  Uh huh.
2022-08-23T13:07:44.162Z piovincenzo_:  You got that Drake at man Shady?
2022-08-23T13:08:15.448Z piovincenzo_:  Good morning ladies and gentlemen. It is Tuesday, August 23rd and you are listening to the NFT morning show. We do this show Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM where we talk all things and then talk about the projects that are hot. We talk about the projects that are not.
2022-08-23T13:08:45.972Z piovincenzo_:  And we discuss all of the stories and topics that are being discussed in the NFT space. I'm your host PO here with my co-host nifty Nick signal, the Illest newsletter writer in the NFT space. King kicks the CEO of Crypto Raiders and the best NFT trader that didn't make money off of board API club. Easy to bodega. The Sultan of Solana, a rising star in the NFT space and about to be all over your feed. Salana side NFT.
2022-08-23T13:09:18.061Z piovincenzo_:  God, the former number one holder of the nifty portal NFT, but now just an absolute badass writing one of the biggest newsletters in the NFT space. Week in and week out Spencer you're gonna know who he is. I don't have to give any intro, let's just say he's getting, he's getting his fund on quad, a big Fanny pack guy and moon bird holder. We also have some other speakers that we're going to bring on stage today and today's show is sponsored by Internet game. They are a previous.
2022-08-23T13:09:50.335Z piovincenzo_:  Answer Show and we have another session with them today to discuss what they have coming out next. You're not going to want to miss this one. It's a really, really, really fun project. Really, really fun Web 3 business, right? Forget about NFT project. Just Web 3 business. So I'm really excited to dive into Internet game. I'm actually going to rewrite the tweet that's pinned to the top, so don't retweet that one just yet. I'll have a new one pinned in. Just a second. Had a little technical issue
2022-08-23T13:10:07.128Z piovincenzo_:  Today again, this show happens Monday, Friday 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM Eastern Time each night we have links to all of our content like our YouTube podcasts and other platforms. Spotify, Apple podcasts. You know all that stuff is pinned to the top, so we're going to dive right into it. But before I go any further, nifty Nick, how's it going?
2022-08-23T13:10:11.351Z allnick:  How's it going, Pierre?
2022-08-23T13:10:15.528Z piovincenzo_:  Let's go well. I mean, you already know I'm doing well how you doing?
2022-08-23T13:10:18.915Z allnick:  Doing alright, my orchid died.
2022-08-23T13:10:21.756Z piovincenzo_:  You're you're you're what?
2022-08-23T13:10:22.48Z allnick:  It's a set. My orchid is dead.
2022-08-23T13:10:35.988Z piovincenzo_:  Well, I'm sorry to hear that man. What I will say is that you know plants that are not like the kind that you only have to water once every two weeks are hard to keep alive.
2022-08-23T13:11:00.454Z allnick:  Well, I tried to keep it going and and so I did an emergency surgery. One of the plants was not doing very well so I decided to trim the roots or prune them where there were some issues. There were some there were, there were some issues that were having or there were some roots that were having some issues and I thought you know what I'll resolve this. I'll rectify it. I'll give it a new pot. I'll give it a new fertilizer and.
2022-08-23T13:11:13.041Z allnick:  Yeah, I mean it. Unfortunately I added some Moss in there as well to maintain that moisture. And still despite all my efforts, I left for a few days and came back just dead flowers falling off.
2022-08-23T13:11:19.955Z allnick:  I don't know it just it's a bad sign man. It's a bad sign.
2022-08-23T13:11:23.236Z allnick:  And so it's about, hey.
2022-08-23T13:11:25.688Z piovincenzo_:  Ohh, get out of here. It's not a bad sign. You're just not that. You're not good at plants. That's all. That's the sign.
2022-08-23T13:11:34.114Z allnick:  You just don't, you just don't recognize the signs from orchids, you know. As they say, there's look, Marin reads the stars. I read the plants in my apartment.
2022-08-23T13:11:36.536Z piovincenzo_:  OK well I yeah.
2022-08-23T13:11:57.84Z allnick:  OK. And and I'm just saying, I'm just saying that's what what happened with the orchids. And when two or, you know, when one orchid dies, they're like, oh, you just killed an orchid when two orchids died together, it's a situation, I think one saw the other one dying and the other orchid was experiencing grief and is now going through a grief death.
2022-08-23T13:12:06.819Z piovincenzo_:  When you say like 1 orchid saw the other one, you just mean like they're in the same pot, so it's all one orchid plant. It's not like 1.
2022-08-23T13:12:20.609Z allnick:  No, it's not one plant. No, you would be incorrect. Or two plants in the same pot. So it's not one plant. That's not how that works. There are two individuals that shine as individuals. They also shine together as well.
2022-08-23T13:12:23.394Z SpeculatorArt:  OK, I just googled origins. There's 75 bucks. I'll, I'll send you a new one buddy, alright?
2022-08-23T13:12:29.994Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:12:27.144Z allnick:  Yeah, why are you mad about my orchid?
2022-08-23T13:12:29.628Z SpeculatorArt:  What color you want? I got blue, white and I got lilac on my screen.
2022-08-23T13:12:30.384Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah.
2022-08-23T13:12:33.477Z allnick:  OK.
2022-08-23T13:12:36.477Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:12:53.012Z piovincenzo_:  Well, all I know is I almost had like, one of those plants that's like basically like the equivalent of like a cactus die on me because I wasn't paying attention and I was watering it and the water wasn't draining. So you you you gotta have a little bit of a green thumb to keep these things alive. But I was at your house the other day, Nick, and you got like four or five other plants that are looking great.
2022-08-23T13:13:11.892Z allnick:  That's yeah, that's correct. I mean, I didn't say all my plants are dead. That would have been devastating if all my plants were dead. That would have been, that would have been more than a sign that would have just been Nick shouldn't shouldn't own plants. That would have been the the situation there, but no.
2022-08-23T13:13:15.468Z allnick:  That that's not what was going on.
2022-08-23T13:13:27.153Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:13:48.011Z piovincenzo_:  OK, well, I'm glad to hear it. Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, there is a new tweet that's pinned to the top that is your your key to the Internet game giveaway. A little technical issue with the last one, but this one is good to go. So if you retweet that tweet that's pinned to the top, it's the one that starts with we're giving away three-game token NFT's on our show this morning. If you retweet that and then follow Internet game, the correct Internet game is in there at this point and stick 
2022-08-23T13:13:58.368Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:14:02.411Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:14:04.581Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:14:18.739Z piovincenzo_:  Today a much better chance of actually winning that giveaway than if it was just one, and if you know anything about Internet game, maybe you don't. You're gonna find out today. The first season of Internet game, which you know we talked about long ago. It was that they were actually our first sponsor on this show, so they've been around the block. It was a big hit and they have some updates, some news events. You know, gearing up for season 2 here, it's going to be a good one. It's going to be 
2022-08-23T13:14:24.646Z piovincenzo_:  Orchids any any? Uh, you know. Exotic plants in your house? I'd be curious if you have a a green thumb.
2022-08-23T13:14:33.587Z SpeculatorArt:  No, I stick in my lane my my wife does some things with plants but she kills them every year. She just goes and buys new ones every year.
2022-08-23T13:14:37.573Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:14:43.652Z SpeculatorArt:  She's just kinda it. It she just just accepted that and it's nice. She just go get a pick out new ones every year. It's the cycle of life, you know.
2022-08-23T13:14:49.443Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:14:54.499Z SpeculatorArt:  You know, I I appreciate a good plant. You know, I I can, I can barely find matching socks in the morning. I don't. I don't. I don't need a plan or an animal to look after.
2022-08-23T13:15:07.991Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know I I love how you describe that as the cycle of life as like a person buys a plant and then lets it die and then buys another one. I don't know if that's exactly what the circle of life is, but yeah, you're right. I learned long ago.
2022-08-23T13:15:15.79Z piovincenzo_:  That you have to get like the plants that don't require any attention. I'm sure nifty Nick already learned that too. Apparently with the orchids.
2022-08-23T13:15:28.337Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:15:26.209Z SpeculatorArt:  Yeah, he needs one of those, like bonsai trees that you have to like water once a year. You know what I mean? And it it you could, you could probably, like, give it saliva, you know, once a year. I know it survived. That's what you need. You don't need.
2022-08-23T13:15:30.045Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:15:32.451Z piovincenzo_:  You stopped in your tracks. I was gonna let you finish.
2022-08-23T13:15:36.009Z SpeculatorArt:  You got the point, right?
2022-08-23T13:15:41.43Z _thesignal:  
2022-08-23T13:15:56.346Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, he's done. He's done all right, well, uh, signal, live from her European holiday it's August 23rd SIG. You know the end of the hall at the at the end of holiday is fast approaching. How do you feel about you know, not just being on beaches and by the sea 24/7? You know starting in a couple of weeks here.
2022-08-23T13:16:27.628Z _thesignal:  Ohh man, I as much as I love holidays, I like fast Internet connection more and that's been the most frustrating part of this holiday. It's just that you're not guaranteed that Wi-Fi broadband speed or it's just Twitter doesn't rug you. Everything connects quickly and you're not just sort of stuck there trying to get signal, holding your phone up in the air, praying that the like the reception gods will give you 3 bars so you can deliver the weather report. So that part of things I definitely wo
2022-08-23T13:16:44.107Z piovincenzo_:  Whoa, nick.
2022-08-23T13:16:44.721Z _thesignal:  The best plant I have which requires watering once a week is the rubber plant because infantry it brings love, prosperity, fortune and money. So Nick put that in your in your apartment and your luck's gonna change and you only need to water it once a week. There you go. Alpha for you people alpha.
2022-08-23T13:16:51.193Z piovincenzo_:  Nick, did you hear that? It sounds like you might have had one of those plants during air drop season. You might wanna get another one.
2022-08-23T13:16:57.828Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:17:14.863Z allnick:  We'll see what happens, OK? Like, let me just mourn my my orchids. Like, I don't understand. It's like everyone's just disrespecting the fact that, like you, yes, the plants come and go. I get it. I'm going to. I'm going to survive beyond this situation that I've been experiencing at the moment. But it doesn't mean that we can't pay our respect and acknowledge.
2022-08-23T13:17:20.464Z allnick:  That have come before us to give us air OK?
2022-08-23T13:17:24.194Z allnick:  Just feel out here disrespecting.
2022-08-23T13:17:25.122Z _thesignal:  Look at.
2022-08-23T13:17:26.263Z piovincenzo_:  Jesus all right signal. Please take it away. Say save us the the the weather report please.
2022-08-23T13:17:32.877Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:17:32.798Z allnick:  Thank you.
2022-08-23T13:17:56.697Z _thesignal:  The weather report today is dedicated to Nick's orchid, may she rest in peace Tuesday, the 23rd of August. So overnight volume folks that's been sitting at 17 million. We're just, we're just hanging around here there, there there hasn't been much action on the upside or the downside, which is good or in this holding pattern and we continue to see this midweek and throughout August onto the leaders. There isn't much change here. In fact prices have held pretty steady overnight. Stand out here is 
2022-08-23T13:18:27.087Z _thesignal:  Tapes. That floor is getting extra. The floor price difference is getting extremely thin. Is now at .5 ETH, so no doubt we'll see punks flip apes again overnight. Pudgy Penguins is leading the open sea ranks. They've had a string of announcements in the last weeks. They've had the toy line, the new Advisory Board, which features meta and seat. Sorry, partnerships for Meta and Nanson. And of course, last night, the rarest Pudgy sold for.
2022-08-23T13:18:28.549Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:18:56.389Z _thesignal:  $630,000 overnight and the pudgy floor is edging towards 4 Earth onto PCK meta. That one is facing considerable FUD. After taking one month to reveal delaying the reveal and then the collection was filled with duplicates. Not just duplicates were looking at twins triplets, quadruplets, so upon floor upon reveal that floor price tanked 50% and is now at .22.
2022-08-23T13:19:26.812Z _thesignal:  Onto chromy squiggles and they are back in the news after Kevin Rose bought a hyper rainbow squiggle for $240,000. If you haven't looked at Rose's vault, he probably has one of the most impressive collections of art NFT out there. He has 23 squiggles for denzel's ringers, one of 1X copies. Autoclaves, 9 punks, and the list goes on. So interesting that he's choosing to pick up.
2022-08-23T13:19:58.026Z _thesignal:  A hyper rainbow squiggle in these markets, and lastly, NFT were pranks. They swept doodles Genesis, cyber brokers and Aku dreams. Overnight. Alpha from the Doodle CEO in their discord is that the full length album featuring Pharrell is coming out is is coming out and that will also have many of the big artists on it. The Genesis boxes will have their first edition wearables and space doodles too is in development.

2022-08-23T13:20:28.089Z _thesignal:  With world class partners on the floor and doodles, Genesis boxes is .2. Overall the high end of the market for the past weeks is seeing sales on the art block side, especially around season one collections and with less noise on the lower end of the market, it's becoming much easier to spot the projects under one ETH, the ones which are getting picked up and the ones which have the highest convictions from the whales. So for now, with volume in the mid to high teens crypto arranging hair, we co
2022-08-23T13:20:32.911Z _thesignal:  Karma skies over the next 24 hours, so for now it's back to you folks.
2022-08-23T13:20:36.261Z _thesignal:  
2022-08-23T13:21:03.52Z piovincenzo_:  Fantastic weather report as usual signal and just a couple of other updates from the Nifty Daily Digest which is written by signal five days a week. It is our newsletter you can sign up at the nifty.com we touched upon this in yesterday's YouTube video and and signal mentioned it a little bit there in the weather, report the rarest pudgy Penguin sold for 400 etherium or $630,000, the last sale before that was actually for 225 etherium.
2022-08-23T13:21:33.551Z piovincenzo_:  Which was 787 K at the time of that sale. So there was a loss in dollar terms of 157 K, but a gain of over 150 etherium wild sail. There people are bullish on the Penguins. We talked about them on YouTube yesterday. Ben Dao, which we discussed at nauseum yesterday on the morning show and on the YouTube show the founder code and coffee proposed emergency changes to the protocol if the vote passes. There could be 6.
2022-08-23T13:22:03.919Z piovincenzo_:  100 Plus liquidation auctions of Border beachclub, mutiny, Beachclub, Clonex, Azuki and doodles over the next month. Crypto exchange FTX hey, we know them. Their revenue soared 1000% in 2021 to a whopping $1.02 billion, making them the industry's third largest crypto exchange, only behind Binance and Coinbase. FTX shout out to them, there are titles.
2022-08-23T13:22:34.042Z piovincenzo_:  Sponsor coming up in the world top three. Let's go and last but not least, MTV introduces the best Metaverse performance award category for the Video Music Awards. This would definitely be relevant if it was 2002. I don't know if it's relevant anymore in 2022, but six Metaverse musical acts are up for nomination, including Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and the K Pop group.
2022-08-23T13:22:34.79Z piovincenzo_:  BTS.
2022-08-23T13:22:35.607Z allnick:  What?
2022-08-23T13:22:37.726Z SpeculatorArt:  Well.
2022-08-23T13:22:38.906Z piovincenzo_:  You like that one, Nick.
2022-08-23T13:22:42.034Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:22:56.869Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:23:03.781Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:23:06.808Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:23:03.921Z SpeculatorArt:  It to you. I don't know about you, but I'm also really excited to hear that Pharrell album. I actually googled it. Some of the leading singles on it is #1. Why you gotta rub me like that, baby #2 when we all going to make it again? And of course, everyone's got to remember the crowd favorite. Remember when you swept that floor? But I think the whole soundtrack probably would be great.
2022-08-23T13:23:16.163Z allnick:  What's this?
2022-08-23T13:23:17.795Z piovincenzo_:  Nick, it sounds like you gotta make. Did you have a comment about the, uh, MTV VMA's incorporating the Metaverse or or maybe the the Pharrell album having three records that are all focused on and FT lingo?
2022-08-23T13:23:24.856Z allnick:  I'm just wondering if this award is based on like people who are singing in Fortnite. Like, is that like the idea? I just don't even get what it means.
2022-08-23T13:23:27.04Z piovincenzo_:  I think it.
2022-08-23T13:23:29.667Z allnick:  Like what? Like what? What does that category even mean?
2022-08-23T13:23:30.964Z allnick:  It.
2022-08-23T13:23:36.965Z piovincenzo_:  It means if you're performing in the Metaverse, MTV's got their eyes on it and they're gonna acknowledge. Yeah.
2022-08-23T13:23:46.679Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, but.
2022-08-23T13:23:48.809Z allnick:  Got it. So it is metaverse performances. So they're saying, like, hey, you performed in Fortnite, what a performance. You didn't even need to show up. You literally just like hit play and then and then and then and that's it.
2022-08-23T13:23:53.879Z Lucky5Micah:  Yeah, if you if you start singing in a Call of Duty lobby before the game, you're eligible for the award.
2022-08-23T13:23:56.004Z allnick:  OK, excellent.
2022-08-23T13:24:00.824Z piovincenzo_:  But look, at the end of the day, someone's gonna perform better than someone else, and whoever performs the best gets the award.
2022-08-23T13:24:08.982Z allnick:  I'd like more information on this cause I'm still a little bit confused, but you know it is what it is.
2022-08-23T13:24:11.716Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:24:24.405Z piovincenzo_:  I think the music industry people are gonna get confused. They're gonna have to hit up my guy spotty Wi-Fi for some consulting because he's an old pro at this point over a year deep into performing in the metal metaverse, having all the technological stuff. The metal verse.
2022-08-23T13:24:32.035Z allnick:  Metal verse. Now that's some shit I can get behind. There we go. I think you just invented the name of the next metaverse and it's just going to be for metal music.
2022-08-23T13:25:02.919Z piovincenzo_:  That's what I'm talking about. Reminder ladies and gentlemen, pit retweet the tweet that's pinned to the top for a chance to win one of three Internet game NFT's that we are giving away later in the show. You're not gonna want to miss this one. It's definitely a really fun and engaging NFT. You know I would call it a project, but really, it's just a Web 3 business that's not going anywhere. So I'm really excited to discuss Internet game later in the show. Retweet the tweet that's been to the top
2022-08-23T13:25:34.081Z piovincenzo_:  Uh, but diving into the NFT market, you know I'm seeing pudgy Penguins still hold the number one spot. We talked about that yesterday on YouTube. We just discussed that big sale. It's good to see an actual quality project, you know, emerge and get some appreciation. I'd love to throw to NFT. God, who pays close attention to the FT space, writes that newsletter that I discussed earlier so he knows what's going on in the NFC space. You know, NFT go when you look about, look at where we're at, like
2022-08-23T13:25:34.498Z piovincenzo_:  That is.
2022-08-23T13:25:45.372Z NFT_GOD:  Yeah. I think the thing I'm seeing is all the innovation at the moment is being placed in marketing, which is I think the biggest reason we're in this huge bear market is.
2022-08-23T13:26:04.021Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:26:16.516Z NFT_GOD:  People are spending so much brainpower on how to market their projects better, how to how to get more people in. And while there's been some interesting things like youths and what Franks have been doing youths, which I think is incredibly unique marketing he's been doing with the youths list and all that very little people are putting any innovation at all into the actual projects themselves and the utility, and it's I think that's a big reason. No one's coming in and actually buying these proj
2022-08-23T13:26:28.857Z NFT_GOD:  Oh, I want to buy a dual now so I can swap the cartoon hats and my doodle, right? So very little brain power is actually being placed on this innovation. It's all in the marketing, and I think this is the market. Just gotten totally tired of that.
2022-08-23T13:26:59.59Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, I mean look, so there's a couple of things. There's layers of issues as to why the space is not expanding at the same rate that it used to be. And by the way, for everybody that's like, you know, in the audience that's maybe like an NFT purist and thinks that maybe it's not necessary for the space to expand. Guess what? It totally is. Either the space expands or it straight up dies. So you wanted to expand and my belief is that without question it will expand, but it takes, you know, like 
2022-08-23T13:27:30.725Z piovincenzo_:  Innovation in the projects. It takes better user interface and I know we talked about that a lot, but it's just true like it's. It's just too hard to buy an NFT if you've never done it before right now and there's so much risk of getting scammed. It's like totally outrageous. So all of those factors come into play. I mean, I know I just mentioned the sponsor, but Internet game you you guys are going to hear has some like actual innovation on the on the NFT front. Not like just the marketing fron
2022-08-23T13:28:00.442Z piovincenzo_:  You know, phenomenal marketing. The other thing is that I was talking about someone that comes from the traditional, like, collectibles industry, the comic book industry, over a period of decades last week. And he was saying that there was a period of time where Marvel Comics was going deeper and deeper and deeper into making comic books, storylines, characters that were so esoteric and so, you know, only for the purists, right? Like nobody from outside.
2022-08-23T13:28:31.454Z piovincenzo_:  Marvel ecosystem was actually going to buy the new comic books that they were putting out. They were basically only putting out comic books for their existing fan base, and you were seeing the numbers just dwindle and they were getting smaller and smaller and smaller. New people weren't buying comic books. The space just wasn't expanding and he made a direct comparison to where we're at in the NFT space. Right now, he's just like I see the exact same thing on the NFL in the NFT space. He said he
2022-08-23T13:29:01.043Z piovincenzo_:  Right. Because it's so only for the people that are already in the market. And I would challenge anybody like who in your life has come into the NFT space recently that wasn't in before, right. So that's kind of the period that we're at. And the way that Marvel got out of that is they just kind of rebooted. They did like a fresh start and they started telling stories that were more, you know, interesting for a mainstream audience and that's really what you want to do. And so when I see guys like
2022-08-23T13:29:24.928Z piovincenzo_:  You know, Punk 6529 announced that he's gonna be doing this course. He's going to be pushing to onboard new people. And when you hear, you know, all, all sorts of different people in the space, you know, talk about that, like educating people on boarding new people, that's nothing but a good thing. You definitely want to do that. So we need more of that. Mike G, you have your hand raised. Do you have a thought on this or a thought on something else?
2022-08-23T13:29:55.827Z Lucky5Micah:  Well, it was kind of off of what NFT God said, which I totally agree with is that we've just seen so much innovation on the marketing side and not so much on the actual tech side. But that reminded me of and I'm not involved in this project yet. I just think it's a really interesting Ave for NFT's to be going into. But DraftKings relatively recently came out with a a type of game called Rainmaker and it's essentially fantasy football, but the players are.
2022-08-23T13:30:26.24Z Lucky5Micah:  NFT's and to use them in your team you have to own the NFT of that player. So I think that's an avenue of like combining gambling with with verifiable ownership of like you have to own the player to use them in your roster is something that I'm not sure DraftKings has implemented correctly. But I think that area and the fact that it's not super hard for someone to get into that style of of you know, gambling combined with you know this is like daily fantasy sports gambling specifically but that 
2022-08-23T13:30:33.629Z Lucky5Micah:  I think it's a really interesting approach from like a technology or a use case that that might actually get leg soon.
2022-08-23T13:31:03.752Z piovincenzo_:  1,000,000%. And it's gonna take time for them to, like, absolutely nail it, right? Hopefully they don't make like a big mistake the way the NBA did with top shot where they're like, Oh well, we're gonna print more FT and make more money, right? And then everything's gonna end up going to 0. But that's what people that are outside the NFT space will learn, is that the verifiable ownership, the things that you're talking about, is what it makes things better. It doesn't make it worse, right? So th
2022-08-23T13:31:08.08Z piovincenzo_:  What do you call it a dynasty league or a legacy league where you? Yeah yeah.
2022-08-23T13:31:09.726Z piovincenzo_:  They.
2022-08-23T13:31:10.844Z Lucky5Micah:  Yeah, that would be. The exact example would be a dynasty league, basically.
2022-08-23T13:31:37.263Z piovincenzo_:  So there's people like I have a friend group I I've been out of this league for so long because they take it so damn serious. I've literally been out of the league since I was like 22, but since we were like 22 years old, we're we're in our early 30s now. They've been in the same league and there's other people that are like that and something like this just makes that incredible and makes it so you could potentially have like a valuable asset coming out of it. Obviously I don't understand 100% 
2022-08-23T13:31:51.34Z piovincenzo_:  Like prospects
2022-08-23T13:31:57.716Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:32:07.572Z Lucky5Micah:  Was just like just to better paint the picture too. What I imagine is that if you did it correctly, you could have these player NFT's come out when they're in college or or when they're you know, like if you're if you're doing it for golf, so prospects so that people buy these and it becomes a capital market of how good the player is, right? So you could start this so early on and say we're printing the FT's of anyone who makes it into college, and they're super cheap. And then you have a capita
2022-08-23T13:32:11.833Z Lucky5Micah:  Of essentially, the athletic prospects of players.
2022-08-23T13:32:14.281Z SpeculatorArt:  Like a girl, I got to say that would have made bank on Joe Burrow baby let's go.
2022-08-23T13:32:15.52Z piovincenzo_:  Well.
2022-08-23T13:32:18.233Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:32:25.615Z SpeculatorArt:  Did Cam Smith 2-3 years ago.
2022-08-23T13:32:26.722Z Lucky5Micah:  Right. Isn't that would that be such a cool idea though? I was thinking about with like golf, like you could literally start early on like the players in the lowest level and then they're super cheap and then if they become the next, yeah, exactly so like.
2022-08-23T13:32:31.572Z EasyEatsBodega:  Yeah, but the opposite side of it's like getting a Johnny Manziel and aping the hell out of it and watching it go to 0.
2022-08-23T13:32:33.019Z piovincenzo_:  But that's.
2022-08-23T13:32:34.598Z Lucky5Micah:  But that'll be fun as hell.
2022-08-23T13:32:36.587Z SpeculatorArt:  I mean, dude, if you're betting on a Midget in Pro Football, you ain't gonna make it easy, you know I'm saying.
2022-08-23T13:32:37.472Z Lucky5Micah:  Right.
2022-08-23T13:32:38.387Z piovincenzo_:  OK, right.
2022-08-23T13:33:11.043Z piovincenzo_:  But yes, and and and you know what? You're gonna well, first of all, that's incredibly cool. Second of all, I think that we're gonna go in that direction. And then third, you are going to have so many Bros that think that they're literally the GM of like, a professional team. Like, Are you ready for this? Are you ready for a house? You're like, guys already take fantasy sports and following pro sports serious as if it's their job and they don't make any money off it. Maybe they break even or los
2022-08-23T13:33:18.836Z piovincenzo_:  But you are gonna get guys that are literally like to check it out. This is my job, man. I just buy NFT's of young college players and I nail it.
2022-08-23T13:33:22.726Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:33:21.715Z SpeculatorArt:  No joke, I would be so into this. I would be so unbelievably though.
2022-08-23T13:33:25.974Z Lucky5Micah:  I would, I would, I would sell every other in FT to basically play the the early markets of players.
2022-08-23T13:33:34.338Z _thesignal:  
2022-08-23T13:33:33.858Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, I mean it's it's gonna be a thing we got a lot of hands raised signal you raise your hand go ahead then I'll throw it to FT God and then we'll keep working it around.
2022-08-23T13:34:04.295Z _thesignal:  Yeah. No, I was just gonna say like I there is a huge amount of innovation happening in this space and this is one of the fastest growing spaces. So I don't think it's the innovation that that's that's the challenge. I think the innovations is actually on the it's sorry, it's on the PFP side. If you look outside of the PFP side, you have ideas like like something like token proof. It was the the idea at the founder fond he talked about it in sort of end of December or January. By March he had th
2022-08-23T13:34:35.272Z _thesignal:  And by June, all the biggest projects we're using it at NFT NYC and it's just accelerating, going faster and faster. I think the challenge that's happening right now is that the stories and EPFP collections need to become more interesting so that more people come into the space. But we are seeing that if you look at what world of women is doing, if you look at what 10K10K GF are doing, you see what V friends is doing. They're all doing it. But because we're all looking at this on a day-to-day ba
2022-08-23T13:34:49.008Z _thesignal:  And we don't sort of look at the bigger picture, but everything we're talking about is happening every single day in the space, but it's happening just sort of more outside of the PFP collections and the storytelling is is happening within the project, subject said.
2022-08-23T13:34:58.68Z piovincenzo_:  I couldn't agree more signal. You also have to think about how long it takes for this stuff to develop. Nick, could you give me a quick breaking news? Just a quick one and then we'll get back to the converse.
2022-08-23T13:35:01.382Z allnick:  That's the wrong yeah.
2022-08-23T13:35:06.657Z piovincenzo_:  That was applause. I mean, I'll always take applause from you, buddy, but if there's a little breaking news you can hit me with, that'd be perfect.
2022-08-23T13:35:09.222Z piovincenzo_:  Just.
2022-08-23T13:35:10.162Z allnick:  I know I got, I got the instructions OK I I know what's going on. This is breaking news.
2022-08-23T13:35:10.501Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:35:12.366Z allnick:  It's a sound effect.
2022-08-23T13:35:40.747Z piovincenzo_:  Did you OK? OK breaking news? There was just a sale of an ex copy piece to a collector named dreaming of Xcopy. Go figure for 500 Ethereum, 8, Etherium $806,000, the original sale of the piece from ex copy to the first collector was on March 6th 2019, so just over three years ago for a whopping.
2022-08-23T13:35:56.75Z piovincenzo_:  $137.00 so if you think NFT's are dead, dreaming of ex. Copies, like clearly thinks that they're not and just deployed $800,000 into a single art piece and it goes to show.
2022-08-23T13:35:58.447Z SpeculatorArt:  And he doesn't even own it, PSCL.
2022-08-23T13:36:20.84Z _thesignal:  Yeah.
2022-08-23T13:36:21.001Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, exactly. And it's so it goes to show that over A3 year period, a whole lot can change in this space and that that curve is parabolic, right. So we're moving faster. So 3 three years from here is A is a longer time than three years, you know, from 2019, right. So signal you raise your hand again. Was there something you wanted to add on this and before I throw that? Yeah.
2022-08-23T13:36:46.068Z SpeculatorArt:  Trying to hit that X copy, right?
2022-08-23T13:36:51.856Z _thesignal:  Yeah, I was gonna say, actually, there's a rumor going around on the grails, this is purely Aruba, that potentially there could be an ex copy in the grails too. That's what the community is talking about and I think it was Zeneca I'm pretty sure swept tons of grails. And I think his strategy is going to be just to mint every single one. Because if there is a huge artist within Grails too, yeah, well, if there is one or if there's, if there's a Dimitri, if there's a Tyler in there, I mean.
2022-08-23T13:36:55.743Z _thesignal:  Payday man great strategy. If you've got the capital to do something that big.
2022-08-23T13:37:21.146Z Lucky5Micah:  
2022-08-23T13:37:25.696Z SpeculatorArt:  I wouldn't be surprised with that at all signal because I I think some people think that like Kevin Rose isn't super connected in this space. Like I don't think it's a coincidence that Moonbird switched to CCO right around when Xcopy was talking about it, right around when a 16Z was talking about it. Like they seem very, you know, there's there's a connected crowd Dom from Loot and Kevin, we're talking on Twitter so I think there's some interesting things going on. I wouldn't be surprised if X c
2022-08-23T13:37:42.55Z SpeculatorArt:  Gotcha.
2022-08-23T13:37:48.166Z _thesignal:  Well, they went down so they so they they minted they came out around 4:00 if I think they were. And then they just sort of went down to sort of 3.13 point two. And then I'm pretty sure it was Seneca who came in and and then swept and there's been some other sweeps that have come in. But I mean that is a strategy that I would take if I could if I had the capital to just buy 16 grails. That's what I would do.
2022-08-23T13:37:49.228Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, I think.
2022-08-23T13:37:59.68Z _thesignal:  
2022-08-23T13:37:59.207Z Lucky5Micah:  Are there certain? Ohh I was gonna ask, yes are there certain ones that are like way overpriced though? Like people have already made that bet on it being somebody famous because you. You'd recognize an ex copy, right?
2022-08-23T13:38:30.022Z _thesignal:  No. So the idea is that the artists are trying to hide who they are through their work, so there's some that are very, very obvious. Note actually did a whole episode with Pear on this about Grail so you can watch that and there's lots of info, but just the quick summary. So some of the artists are are really obvious, like there's a grant yarn, and everybody knows that's him. So the idea is if you know who the artist is, that's going to have the highest addition because everybody's going to minc
2022-08-23T13:38:55.533Z _thesignal:  Then people will be like Oh well, that doesn't look interesting and it could end up having the lowest number of additions. Therefore the highest value at the end of this when they do the reveal. So there's some game theory happening here, which is why Grails is so interesting, and I think it's been underpriced given market conditions, because girls one was in the bull that was very different, but right now it's been underpriced and not meant and not much attention.
2022-08-23T13:39:11.601Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:39:14.07Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:39:14.072Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, I mean that's a great call signal and Zeneca said that he sold his ape coin to do it. So we'll see how that trade ages. I'd imagine it it'll age well that that would be my thought. NFT God, you had had your hand raised. Was there anything that you wanted to add to the discussion? I I see the hands not raised now, but yeah, go ahead.
2022-08-23T13:39:44.407Z NFT_GOD:  Yeah, I was gonna just do one final point and last one, but I guess I can kind of touch on what we just said too. Which is I think art is really the only use case that makes sense at the moment for NFT, especially for the broader audience. I was coming back from a wedding a few weeks ago and I was talking to a really smart friend of mine who owns a business and I was trying to tell him why, you know NFT's are working, why he should get into it, and every single use case I gave him, whether as a 
2022-08-23T13:40:00.559Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:40:02.218Z NFT_GOD:  Other than art. And so I think really at the moment we need to think about when we come out with innovation or come out with new projects is why is this necessary on the blockchain? Because I think answering that question is the only way we'll be able to onboard new people at the moment, you know, except for the fact that we need to make it easier to get on boarded.
2022-08-23T13:40:32.4Z piovincenzo_:  Well, real quick and feel free anybody to disagree with me. I feel like I have an answer for him and that's that. It's just better because of permanence, because of the literally permanence that that's the big thing, the fact that it's an actual permanent entry on the blockchain that anybody can see forever. We don't have that sense of permanence in the same way it's it's it's almost like, I know it doesn't seem like much and somebody could like, look, I'm from North Shore, Boston, right? So I'm
2022-08-23T13:41:02.489Z piovincenzo_:  Somebody from, like, Charlestown, if you ever seen, like, the Ben Affleck movies like the town to see what people are like from from where I grew up, I'm picturing like some guy wearing a Red Sox cap being like, what do I need that for? You know what I mean? And, like, talking to that guy, the reality is, is that even though it's, it doesn't seem like it's a lot better, it actually is. It's kind of the same thing as like when Bill Gates went on David Letterman in the early 90s and was talking ab
2022-08-23T13:41:33.802Z piovincenzo_:  It's like, well you'd be able to potentially listen to a baseball game on the Internet, and David Letterman said, have you ever heard of the radio and the audience clapped right? But now, 20 years later, we all know that the power of the Internet was a lot more than just trying to replace video. It's kind of the same thing, right? So someone might be saying, like, I don't need the blockchain for this, I can just do it on this centralized platform. Why would I need to incorporate the blockchain? 
2022-08-23T13:41:42.014Z allnick:  O.
2022-08-23T13:41:42.703Z piovincenzo_:  And I'm pretty sure now I like Spotify in my phone a lot better than having a like I would never have a portable radio in the same way.
2022-08-23T13:41:43.774Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:41:51.283Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:41:58.19Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:41:57.508Z allnick:  Are are you saying that because people didn't realize there was potential for the Internet, there was an equal potential for NFT's, but we just don't get it? But I don't have a good explanation for what that compelling reason is.
2022-08-23T13:41:59.181Z SpeculatorArt:  Yeah, you're David Letterman in this story, Nick.
2022-08-23T13:42:00.661Z allnick:  OK, OK, got it.
2022-08-23T13:42:20.4Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:42:28.908Z piovincenzo_:  No, I'm saying like the the the sense of permanence. Like if I have a fantasy sports athlete that's blockchain defied, the the process of buying, selling, trading, keeping that asset is much stronger on the blockchain. If you don't believe that, Nick, I'm surprised that you're in the FT space. Like, what if we were just trading JPEG pictures of board apes on a centralized platform platform. They weren't blockchain unified. You couldn't put them into a cold wallet. You couldn't, you know, put the
2022-08-23T13:42:31.984Z NFT_GOD:  
2022-08-23T13:42:34.472Z piovincenzo_:  Only scratch on the surface of that part. I I don't know if you misunderstood what I was saying there.
2022-08-23T13:43:02.233Z allnick:  Yeah.
2022-08-23T13:43:00.63Z NFT_GOD:  PO the issue is, is I don't think many people are concerned that like DraftKings is going to go out of business tomorrow and they'll lose all their players, right? Like I've been in a Fantasy Football League for 20 years now on Yahoo Fantasy and I still got like the same players in the same dynasty league going. And trust me, I'm the biggest NFT believer there is. My names literally. NFT God. The issue is, is we're not going to be able to on board new people until the use cases match up with the
2022-08-23T13:43:17.885Z allnick:  Because.
2022-08-23T13:43:19.443Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, but I mean, I think what you're saying more is that the use case is just really flat out on the nose at the same time, like when you think about it, why wouldn't you want the asset to be on the blockchain and and it would put you in a go ahead?
2022-08-23T13:43:31.45Z allnick:  But like if you're playing Fortnite, you just don't give a shit like the reality is, is you just don't like I if I go buy some skin for my game or I'm playing Rocket League and I get a different car, which I did once.
2022-08-23T13:43:40.34Z allnick:  I don't care that it's on Ethereum or not like legitimately. I do not care and I think what. All the all that he's.
2022-08-23T13:43:43.573Z SpeculatorArt:  Well, you're not even you're probably not even using the right car, Nick, so maybe you should care a little bit more.
2022-08-23T13:43:43.884Z piovincenzo_:  What?
2022-08-23T13:44:12.208Z allnick:  OK, well that that that's a bigger problem. I'm not a professional with this, but all I'm I'm in agreement with NFT God which is just like as a consumer interacting with these things, which we're saying NFT's are going to disrupt. I don't need this thing in order to do it. The only really clear cut example and I'm in agreement again is art, where you have an entire industry where there's a lack of transparency and there's ambiguity as to like is this. The real thing is this not the real thing?
2022-08-23T13:44:43.126Z allnick:  And so it solves a number of problems in addition to having this record of provenance where I don't need some historian to go and like figure out what the hell was going on with this painting 100 years ago. Like no one needs to do that because there is a concrete record of that, which is just a clear. So I think in the art space, it does solve a very clear problem. I was thinking that when we saw the price of everything and that collector is discussing how he's speculating.
2022-08-23T13:44:48.258Z allnick:  He's basically just storing in a spreadsheet and there's one company.
2022-08-23T13:45:01.281Z allnick:  Uh, today that stores a record of and I'm blanking on what the name of it is, but I was chatting with an art collector the other day and he was telling me about it about a company that stores a record of all the private market transactions of art.
2022-08-23T13:45:19.567Z SpeculatorArt:  
2022-08-23T13:45:26.569Z allnick:  But even still, they only have record of 50% of it or something like that, so it's imperfect. So I think the blockchain does solve a lot of things within the art market, but you're going to be hard pressed to convince someone and and that's that's the problem. I'm not saying that I don't think NFT's will solve problems, I'm just saying that right now, in many ways they don't actually solve a large number of problems with those things.
2022-08-23T13:45:55.976Z jesseshalfon:  
2022-08-23T13:45:54.975Z SpeculatorArt:  Now, Nick, you're you're 100% right, especially with the gaming because one of the biggest like gaming like peer-to-peer trading, markets of digital assets is in CS go. You can trade like the skins for your guns and there's literally skins that are worth like 5060 seventy, $80,000, right? There's people that made millions trading these and it wasn't attached to the blockchain right? And attaching it to the blockchain wouldn't have made it significantly like better or worse. So I do think you and
2022-08-23T13:45:58.348Z SpeculatorArt:  Applications for the blockchain. Not everything needs to be on the blockchain.
2022-08-23T13:45:59.849Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:46:14.042Z piovincenzo_:  You get.
2022-08-23T13:46:18.166Z piovincenzo_:  What?
2022-08-23T13:46:19.569Z jesseshalfon:  Same thing for subscriptions too. I mean, if you're on someone's e-mail list and you're paying 999 a month and you have been for a year, someone could just say, OK, you get a sweatshirt, send me your address. Like. You don't need the blockchain to do that. I mean it. The one click sign on is nice. Sorry for the noise. I'm doing some proto Dang starting with the kids here the analog way. So maybe the blockchain is good for something. But yeah, I think a lot of times it's a forced use case.
2022-08-23T13:46:21.142Z sgsand1:  Yeah.
2022-08-23T13:46:50.544Z piovincenzo_:  Real quick. I mean, you brought up Fortnite. If you watch the board API Club Founders interview on the Nelk podcast, when they were asked about, you know, use case for NFT, they literally immediately bring up Fortnite skins as they like. Go to example because, OK, it sounds like CS go has this built in marketplace. Not every game has that. Maybe you're betting that every game is going to build a built-in marketplace. Kicks do, does the does the creator of that game. Whoever makes CS go, did they
2022-08-23T13:46:59.136Z sgsand1:  They don't.
2022-08-23T13:47:21.788Z SpeculatorArt:  I that's a great question. I actually don't think that they get a royalty when it's traded and may be wrong. People may push me on this, but they do make money off of like you need to buy keys to like, unlock the boxes to get the skins. And so I know that they definitely make money that way, but it is like like kind of like a centralized service, meaning that like, they can ban accounts, right? So like people that have maybe done sketchy things or maybe not, they've like had their account banned
2022-08-23T13:47:31.232Z SpeculatorArt:  And they have like no real recourse, right? So there is an advantage to the blockchain, but I mean at the same time openc has, like you know, banned NFT's on it, but yeah.
2022-08-23T13:47:32.574Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, I mean real quick.
2022-08-23T13:47:35.409Z SpeculatorArt:  Yeah, yeah Ben says Ben says Steam does take a fee so they do have secondary too.
2022-08-23T13:47:50.719Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, they take Rosie so real quick though. The bottom line is it is only a matter of time before AAA gaming incorporates blockchain into their games. Whether or not the user realizes it. It'll be on the black chain. Yeah, the blockchain the blockchain may may.
2022-08-23T13:47:57.907Z SpeculatorArt:  I I I totally agree. That's why flow is so popular with some of these companies, right people because like they realize the consumers really don't care and they just want the convenience.
2022-08-23T13:48:17Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:48:28.03Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, and maybe it doesn't happen next year. Maybe it doesn't happen in five years, but at some point because the technology is superior and it just makes everything really streamlined and it makes it better for both the user and the creator. It will be fully integrated, so like I can't, not, you know, know that it's just a foregone conclusion. Like 1000% it will be incorporated. I know that that there's like Web 2 gaming Maxis that disagree, but the bottom line is like there will be blockchain.
2022-08-23T13:48:49.052Z allnick:  The.
2022-08-23T13:48:51.084Z piovincenzo_:  Integrated into AAA gaming, whether or not you know the user realizes it and they probably won't realize it, it won't matter. They won't care. Just like when you make a phone call, you don't know like what kind of technology is making the phone call. You just make the call. It's going to happen. So I can't get past that. And as soon as like, you realize that, that's when you start to have your gears turned. I know Spencer was looking to get a word in, but Nick, go ahead.
2022-08-23T13:49:21.156Z jesseshalfon:  
2022-08-23T13:49:21.123Z allnick:  The the distinction that you got to draw, though, is the distinction between what the customer wants, the consumer wants, and what's technologically helpful. And even on the technical side, well, building on blockchain is not a faster path to market. It's not a faster path to get a development done. It just isn't. It's easier when I own the database than when I I have to interact with a system which could be slower, and so it it doesn't improve.
2022-08-23T13:49:27.038Z allnick:  The development experience and in many cases it doesn't improve the user experience if.
2022-08-23T13:49:31.542Z allnick:  Well.
2022-08-23T13:49:34.985Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:49:33.087Z allnick:  Well.
2022-08-23T13:49:36.348Z allnick:  So.
2022-08-23T13:49:37.356Z jesseshalfon:  I can't. I can't believe you just got through that point, Nick. Without using the term product market fit. You deserve some kind of award because Josh Bobrowski would have would have fit in product market fit and skeuomorphic in that in that point somehow.
2022-08-23T13:49:39.685Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:49:38.689Z NFT_GOD:  And look labs.
2022-08-23T13:50:02.459Z piovincenzo_:  What?
2022-08-23T13:50:04.45Z allnick:  OK, no, but but no. But legitimately, those two things. If you can't acknowledge that component of it, then like, then you can't solve the problem. Which is saying, well, what problem am I solving? So, like, if you're not at that point, rather than just being like, yo, it's inevitable that NFT's are going to kiss, assume the world which they made. There's various areas where I think that there's definitely value for it to be used.
2022-08-23T13:50:07.734Z piovincenzo_:  It's blockchain blockchain will consume the world and thus NFTS. Yes, go ahead.
2022-08-23T13:50:23.658Z allnick:  Yeah, I I don't know. Anyways, I'm not here to just like bash, NFTS, and indefinitely, but you. But sometimes, like in order to solve the real problems you got to look yourself in the mirror and say, what the fuck am I doing? Like what? What? Like what value am I really creating?
2022-08-23T13:50:24.27Z SpeculatorArt:  You're killing orchids. That's what you're doing.
2022-08-23T13:50:28.083Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:50:55.728Z allnick:  That's what I've been doing so that this morning involved tears in the mirror. But I'm just saying, like legitimately, as an industry you gotta end up doing that. And the joke that all like web two people love to make and I hate calling it web. Two people, people who I know from the technology space were like posting tweets about it. It's like there was a tweet that went viral the other day. That was Web 3 founders looking for a problem to solve. And with three people running around after a duck
2022-08-23T13:51:00.752Z piovincenzo_:  It's a good joke.
2022-08-23T13:51:28.306Z allnick:  Done, and it's it's pretty funny because in many ways there are. Yeah it's. It's a good joke, but because it's also like it's not a problem like with some of the things, it's not a problem with the art side. I whole like just straight up believe that that NFT's will disrupt that industry primarily because like I'm someone who enjoys the that that aspect of art. And I also see the problems that exist within the art market. We like FT God saying we just got to find some of those other problems tha
2022-08-23T13:51:38.196Z allnick:  Being solved and in the interim, there will be a collectibles subset of this market. I just don't know, you know, how large that's going to be on a sustainable basis.
2022-08-23T13:52:07.971Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah. And just real quick, first of all, that is a good joke because it's true. Somebody can't, like, said to me that they had a pet food. They're putting pet food on the blockchain. I was like, what the what is that? What is pet food being on the blockchain? What does that mean? Like, the blockchain is not. I don't. I just didn't understand. I was like, what do you mean? And I didn't want to like, even listen to the response because, like, I don't know what that means. And so, yes, that's why t
2022-08-23T13:52:13.526Z piovincenzo_:  No, yeah, you know all your shit I'm.
2022-08-23T13:52:16.313Z RealJonahBlake:  The joke is the joke of me doing long researchers. I'm not gonna go long, it's tail I guess. I prefer you saying that I could give financial advice at least that one's funny.
2022-08-23T13:52:25.018Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, but I I'm. I'm compliment complimenting you because you really know your shit but we can't go like super duper deep on the gaming but you yeah go ahead.
2022-08-23T13:52:53.084Z RealJonahBlake:  I'm gonna yeah very quick so so uh yeah blockchain and gaming makes actually perfect sense it but it doesn't matter for the consumer. Like the consumer side is going to be the same but you need to understand is that the thing that blockchain does better than anything and NFT's enable this because NFT's are nothing more than just tracking devices. Is open data go go apply for Riot Games go apply for epic. Go apply for any of these big games and access their API because good luck.
2022-08-23T13:53:23.803Z RealJonahBlake:  You're probably not going to have any ability to do so. And that data, which the God metric here is unique active wallets. That data is openly accessible to anyone. It's ethically easy to actually mine it because it's anonymous data and that purchasing data, as well as user data on the active wallets creates really efficient marketing campaigns, brand campaigns, game game data, research, it's it's a gold mine for information. And the most important part, and I'll sum this up very quickly, is the
2022-08-23T13:53:54.351Z RealJonahBlake:  My only thesis on why through Gamer will work is because of capital efficiency. Funds have LP's that demand updates and data on the things that they're investing in. You can't really do that if you're investing in a game that works with the publisher, because the publisher is gonna own most of that data. So all these funds raising billions of dollars to invest in games are going to demand that Web 2 qualified publishers at least put their their assets on the blockchain because it offers more inf
2022-08-23T13:53:59.187Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:53:56.802Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:54:19.689Z RealJonahBlake:  The last one minute thing is there's a an esports organization that's decentralized that just proved actual use case. This week they won a Web 2E sports event that had $1,000,000 prize pool, and it's pretty much completely decentralized. They're called black hand, and it had a $1,000,000 prize pool and it was a Pokémon Unite World championship and they won it. They came first place against real teams.
2022-08-23T13:54:22.4Z RealJonahBlake:  
2022-08-23T13:54:30.273Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T13:54:50.198Z piovincenzo_:  Look at that Jonah ladies and gentlemen, coming through and just throwing his weight around real quick. Ladies and gentlemen, retweet the tweet. That's pin to the top. We're giving away 3 NFTS by Internet game. Our first ever sponsor back in the day and now back for season 2 with some crazy updates that you're going to hear. This is a fun one that plays this. This conversation today is so perfect leading into the sponsored spot with Internet game because you're going to hear what innovation look
2022-08-23T13:55:08.01Z piovincenzo_:  And retweet that tweet that's pinned to the top and follow Internet game. Four chance to win. This is gonna be sick. Spencer's probably bursting at the seams right now to speak. I gotta throw to him. He's gotta a fresh crypto punk. He just took the crypto punk out-of-the-box. He's running around his house with it like it's Christmas morning. Spencer what's going on?
2022-08-23T13:55:35.733Z sgsand1:  Not not to be the dead horse here, but I think like one thing that's interesting about we're talking about this guys can these other things. I actually think that if they were on the blockchain, it would be better for consumers because the way that this works a lot of the time is that there's actually third parties where you buy off of the platform on the CS go skin with U.S. dollars and then those CS go skin owners have bots that are on platform which then transfer it to you and that's how a lo
2022-08-23T13:56:07.765Z sgsand1:  No, because the that's how third party systems interact with ownership. There's a lot of risk, and there's been a number of times when you know, add the blue games like CSGO or Fortnite have banned sort of changed the rules with which third parties interact, and oftentimes it's trapped. A lot of consumers capital and, or sometimes even businesses, capital. It's it's. It's messed with the ecosystem really substantially. And one thing that I think is really important about Web 3 is that you can't 
2022-08-23T13:56:39.482Z sgsand1:  You can't. You don't have the ability to mess with other people's ownerships of in games items. And I also think we'll see a lot more interoperability of those items. So another issue is that, like if the game sunsets or there's a new version, oftentimes your items don't persist to the new newest version or across games. Whereas if you look at like, who are the best CSGO and Fortnite skin designers, it's the founders of artifact, right? Like, that's that's that's their background was they they d
2022-08-23T13:56:49.135Z sgsand1:  Like 3D models that could be interoperable across multiple games. So I think that to me like the the battle between web three and web two and a lot of ways gaming.
2022-08-23T13:56:58.993Z sgsand1:  The ability for the market and the users to have control over the market, the assets versus the ability for the game itself to be fully in control.
2022-08-23T13:57:03.002Z piovincenzo_:  That's what I'm talking about, nifty. Nick, you got your hand raised. Let us have it.
2022-08-23T13:57:10.423Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T13:57:22.788Z allnick:  Everybody's wrong, no? I I was going to say the biggest the the biggest argument for all this stuff is basically that right now the corporations that are making these games that have compelled people to play because they all have.
2022-08-23T13:57:38.218Z allnick:  That there is an area of this market which are which is inefficient and unfair and and essentially what the argument is is the player is being exploited, their time is being exploited.
2022-08-23T13:57:58.007Z allnick:  For the benefit of the corporation and that the user is not getting to participate in the upside of where they've invested a bunch of time, they've made a bunch of money for the company and they, and instead deserve some sort of compensation or something for the time that they've spent.
2022-08-23T13:58:18.681Z piovincenzo_:  That's what you would do.
2022-08-23T13:58:29.426Z allnick:  That's literally the foundation of a bad relationship. Like imagine you go to a restaurant every day and you're eating at the restaurant every day. You're the best customer at that restaurant and then suddenly one day you turn to the owner and you say you know what? Dude, I now own your business because I've eaten here so many damn times that food is so damn tasty. No that. But this is, this is what we're saying. It's like that food is tasty. That's why you ate there. You didn't eat, you didn't 
2022-08-23T13:59:00.377Z allnick:  And so that's like the foundation of a lot of the different things that people are arguing now. Do I think that there's opportunities in games like, let's say other dude comes in and they end up building something, and suddenly there's an entire ecosystem of games where which support this interoperability. We've seen that tried to make that happen before Google attempted to do this to out open Facebook. Essentially where they would like, say, look, we. We think that this data users should make t
2022-08-23T13:59:31.905Z allnick:  Portable across network. So when I go log in, sign up for Tik T.O.K, I can bring my Twitter data with me. When I go sign up for Facebook, I can do the exact same thing. It failed miserably because the incentives were all aligned for the corporation. You have to completely flip things around to enable the incentives to be so heavily skewed towards the the end user. But the problem with that is what's the incentive then for the corporation who's building this stuff? And and so that's the thing, wh
2022-08-23T14:00:02.763Z allnick:  I have not fully come to terms with yet personally and this is just a personal thing where I have not come up with a compelling reason for a company to go invest heavily to skew the favor so heavily for the user rather than focus on building a great game. And that's just something that I really can't. I can't wrap my head around because if if if you make a shitty restaurant I'm not eating there like it doesn't matter how how compelling you say if you make me a co-owner.
2022-08-23T14:00:05.404Z allnick:  In a restaurant, which sucks.
2022-08-23T14:00:36.191Z allnick:  Be like, well, what the hell? The restaurant sucks. So now I gotta show up and suddenly making my job to make that restaurant a better thing when I already have a job? It's just difficult for me, to, like, buy that that argument so that that's the thing that I'm not fully sold on. But you know, power to people innovating in that space. Because it's interesting when we all collectively own something, but we just see that model fail over and over and over again because the people building it aren'
2022-08-23T14:00:39.46Z piovincenzo_:  Real quick, John. Did you ever response to that real quick?
2022-08-23T14:01:11.038Z RealJonahBlake:  Yeah, completely disagree, but only because I have a totally different thematic than this is for the consumer my the theme is capital efficiency. So most games that are AAA level, it's very expensive to actually make new games. I think people misunderstand how much money it takes to actually make a game, and publishers spend a lot of money on R&D to actually make these games work. When one game actually hits for these big publishers, it is their first desire to make it a live service because the
2022-08-23T14:01:41.789Z RealJonahBlake:  They're going to at some point either be illegal or inefficient to make money on. One of these is micro transactions through like Rarity on cards. It's actually, I mean, it's pretty sure it's illegal in Australia, it's illegal in Belgium, it's being reviewed in the UK and the US has been looking at reviewing it. But these publishers have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on lobbyists in order to keep that type of micro transaction and live service actually possible. So having volum
2022-08-23T14:02:12.3Z RealJonahBlake:  Revenue in order to keep sustaining product. The other side is capital efficiency for VC's and for for funds. The reality is now we have democratized capital that wants to invest in gaming but does not have the industry know how. Nor the same means as a publisher who is pretty much dominated this space. And VC's are going to force games that want to raise money into being Web 3 compliant in order to get more access to data, because that's how they're going to compete against publishers, and publ
2022-08-23T14:02:26.112Z RealJonahBlake:  And and I think people don't realize is being a game developer is really fucking hard because it's hard to find money because investing in games like investing in a movie. It's a very risky business and so these are ways to sort of derisk the investment and sort of have this Open Access data.
2022-08-23T14:02:48.734Z piovincenzo_:  Well, bam. Alright, we're gonna move on from gaming a little bit. I know we got kick some mic up with their hands raised. Retweet the tweet that's pinned to the top. Ladies and gentlemen, we're diving into that sponsored spot. In about 10 minutes, follow Internet game, you'll be entered for a chance to win one of three NFT's that were given away kicks. You got your hand raised, man. You're the CEO of a crypto gaming organization. What's going on?
2022-08-23T14:03:21.438Z SpeculatorArt:  What's up, man? Yeah, I know we want to shift gears. Talk about some, you know, other things going on in NFT's. I do agree with what Nick said. If you do the math it doesn't make sense to like if if you cut players in more you take away from the game and then how do you develop the game? I think there's some answers long term with that, but it's a really a good criticism, but I've been looking at the market man and just feeling like, you know, we're we're seeing some. We're seeing some bottoming
2022-08-23T14:03:32.729Z SpeculatorArt:  It's it's it's good to see you. I don't think it's all doom and gloom out there, right? Like, of course we had the big pudgies run up. That's huge mutants up to 13.7 from 11.9.
2022-08-23T14:03:41.825Z SpeculatorArt:  So I just love seeing that doodles floors looking solid moon birds oddities up to 1.62.
2022-08-23T14:03:46.746Z SpeculatorArt:  10K TF combat creates up to 0.76.
2022-08-23T14:04:18.334Z SpeculatorArt:  So yeah, there, there just seems to be some some good movement and and some healthy price action. I think that we had a little bit of doom and gloom because of Earth crashing so quickly down to this like $1600 range. So you just get like 20% like wiped out on your USD price on NFT's and people kind of freak out a little bit. That exact same thing happens when we had the big meltdown in May and June. I don't think people remember, but like moon.
2022-08-23T14:04:49.332Z SpeculatorArt:  Words like we're at like 15 Earth when Earth was below 1000 like board a Yacht Club was at like 75 ETH right when Earth was below 1000. Like these projects like went through a huge flush look like much lower. So yeah I mean I'm just seeing some positive signs out there. I think it's like good if you're active in the NFT space. I think that you still have to be very selective and you have to bet on mostly on new things. But I I think that the there's some good things happening.
2022-08-23T14:04:51.027Z SpeculatorArt:  Out there.
2022-08-23T14:04:52.248Z piovincenzo_:  There we.
2022-08-23T14:05:15.045Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:05:14.768Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:05:18.306Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:05:22.349Z jesseshalfon:  Yeah, there's a another indicator that signal missed. I'm getting, uh, some more random messages from people during the show. I got one here from Natalie, she says, hey, with two wise she has two followers and posts more thirst traps than Jessica or Trotsky, so this could be a real love connection, but I don't even know how you get through your. I don't know how you get through your messages because I get so many stupid messages during your show. You must get like 400 but I do have one project t
2022-08-23T14:05:25.355Z piovincenzo_:  What?
2022-08-23T14:05:28.085Z piovincenzo_:  He's back.
2022-08-23T14:05:53.031Z jesseshalfon:  DL the architect, it looks really cool. Yeah. He's on to a new project cause crash test joyride was such a massive success. He's got a, he's got to, you know, move on to the next big thing. So we have to do it because because he's coming from crash test, of course. The crash test discord is like, what the hell? I still haven't even gotten my, my socks with the, you know, stupid joyrider on them because I think he literally got kind of individually doesn't from his house. Although the branding on
2022-08-23T14:06:02.848Z jesseshalfon:  It actually pumped for a minute. I think CEO and I sold mine into the sold most of ours into the pump. Went to .19 again, but he has a new project. It's supposedly with some. Pretty cool.
2022-08-23T14:06:27.422Z jesseshalfon:  Web 2 individuals that looks really cool. It's you know bad timing. It's coming off of another project that you know or probably says he should invest in, but he's just the artist on this and the art was pretty cool on crash. Has joy ride so they got some kind of mysterious drop coming in a day or two. Runaways of the neverworld, they're just I think I was legally obligated to mention it because it's coming from a DLP architect.
2022-08-23T14:06:35.041Z piovincenzo_:  I'm meeting up with him this weekend to swap out the sweatshirt that he gave me for a different one. He's a nice guy, tall guy.
2022-08-23T14:06:36.682Z jesseshalfon:  If that's if that is true, is that true?
2022-08-23T14:07:07.153Z piovincenzo_:  That's true. He lives in Brooklyn. He is an incredibly talented artist and all like you said, all the branding on everything is completely insane. The quality of the clothes is insane, everything's just dope. When it, when it's on the art side, you know, driving secondary buys to an NFT project is really hard. That's what a lot of people learn when they start making NFT's. That's what a lot of talented artists in the space learn. Even though their art is literally incredible, figuring out a way 
2022-08-23T14:07:30.161Z piovincenzo_:  From the FT market is not the easiest thing in the world and I I see a lot of quality artists, incredible artists that aren't able to do that. And then you see other ones like Justin Aversano and and you know other big names that you can name that are masters of it real quick. I gotta throw to Mr and so that that project is interesting. It's called runaways of the never netherworld is that what is it?
2022-08-23T14:07:34.428Z piovincenzo_:  Run runaways NFT at runaways.
2022-08-23T14:07:50.239Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, a lot.
2022-08-23T14:07:50.778Z jesseshalfon:  Run away, yeah, it's runaways, NFT, runaways NF if you want to check it out it's still a closed discord so they're doing that whole game but maybe that's good because they'll keep it community small for a while but I mean I would check out if you look at the other people that are involved in the project, that's some pretty cool people bad timing but cool people.
2022-08-23T14:08:12.521Z MrLongNFT:  
2022-08-23T14:08:28.115Z MrLongNFT:  
2022-08-23T14:08:21.629Z piovincenzo_:  Have to check it out. Uh, if you know you, you gotta take a look at these things and look whether the people have backgrounds in Web 3, right? Because we've seen a lot of web two people come in and they, you know, maybe didn't understand how to drive secondary volume to the project. Real quick, I got to throw to Mr Long NFT, a former former nifty portal whale. I don't know if he's still a nifty portal whale, and he is a valued member of our discord, a valued member of our audience. Today, he's g
2022-08-23T14:08:27.264Z MrLongNFT:  
2022-08-23T14:08:28.57Z piovincenzo_:  Over the past 24 hours, my assumption is that it's going to be done in character, but go ahead, Mr Long, take it away.
2022-08-23T14:08:30.78Z MrLongNFT:  How to file? Thanks for having me back.
2022-08-23T14:08:35.057Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, thanks for coming in character alright.
2022-08-23T14:08:41.821Z MrLongNFT:  The the the joke I wrote this morning is dependent on you correcting me on the pronunciation of your name. Can you do that please, bye.
2022-08-23T14:08:42.471Z MrLongNFT:  
2022-08-23T14:08:44.815Z piovincenzo_:  My name is not pronounced Pyo. It's pronounced PO.
2022-08-23T14:08:51.714Z MrLongNFT:  Well, tomato, tomato. Let's dive into what I'm calling the disco around.
2022-08-23T14:08:54.024Z piovincenzo_:  OK.
2022-08-23T14:08:54.372Z MrLongNFT:  Alright.
2022-08-23T14:08:59.319Z allnick:  Wow, what it? What a joke like that must have been a ton of effort to figure that one out. Tomato tomato.
2022-08-23T14:09:02.319Z allnick:  I'm dying over here.
2022-08-23T14:09:03.791Z MrLongNFT:  That has been weeks.
2022-08-23T14:09:08.796Z MrLongNFT:  
2022-08-23T14:09:10.902Z piovincenzo_:  But Patrice Patrice O'Neal is just bang it. He said he's gonna come out of his grave after that joke is you brought him back to life alright, go ahead.
2022-08-23T14:09:37.73Z MrLongNFT:  That has been weeks in the making, so I'm glad y'all appreciate that. Let's start with a couple of shoutouts. First of all, Laguna Carters keeping the discord in line doing the Lord's work over there. Pop can is buying portals above the floor, rust is dropping. Banging artwork on the Daily Press is the 10 KTF king. He might be wagging me son himself, we don't know, and gentle tornado is keeping us hot. I snuck on the shield, the portal POC. Sack me.
2022-08-23T14:09:44.296Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T14:09:44.739Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T14:09:48.921Z piovincenzo_:  I can't sack you right now, man. Just please keep going. I'm enjoying this.
2022-08-23T14:09:50.717Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T14:10:19.123Z MrLongNFT:  Alright alright, on to the serious stuff. The big project of yesterday is is not one Mr Long can easily report on it's big brain stuff. It involves mitten and harvesting digital trees. The project is doomsday garden and it involves a lot of math. My wife has a big brain and tried to explain it to me but I was too drunk to understand and I'm too hungover now to explain what little I understand honestly. Just find the post from hi I'm Alex in the portal if you need to know more. He made some grass
2022-08-23T14:10:26.868Z MrLongNFT:  Was on the morning show yesterday. That's your tree guy. Hi, I'm Alex. It's not going to be Uncle Nick seeing as he can't even keep an orchid alive.
2022-08-23T14:10:32.832Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:10:43.563Z MrLongNFT:  The other big project was Easu, which is the sister project of Saccadic synonymous easy covertly on his show. So I don't spend much time here, but they're big news. Is their mint price of .2 and they stated the reason for this high price is that they need cash. Go figure.
2022-08-23T14:10:48.811Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:10:54.87Z MrLongNFT:  The useless, useless rolls on and keeps tweeting who's been accepted. Notably, Mr Long has not been accepted even though I have the dust ready in my wallet.
2022-08-23T14:11:00.82Z MrLongNFT:  
2022-08-23T14:11:01.281Z piovincenzo_:  Notably, everyone on on NFT, Twitter's talking about that Mr. Long has not been accepted onto the UK list.
2022-08-23T14:11:08.107Z MrLongNFT:  I know, I know. Frank's gonna get that message one of these days. I got the dust ready. Like I need more dust in my life.
2022-08-23T14:11:12.532Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:11:17.394Z MrLongNFT:  But I'm brimming with jealousy for the youth, honestly, and the note in Uncle Nick date on the mountain that could have definitely used 1/3 wheel.
2022-08-23T14:11:20.83Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:11:37.561Z MrLongNFT:  Wrapping up, y'all mentioned the pudgy Penguin sales on that floor is hovering around 3.8 people posted some Penguin artwork yesterday. So are they a blue chip? I I don't know the D Gen alert though. Is the pudgy Pepes that's the Djin play we're looking at in the discord. It's climbed the point O3.
2022-08-23T14:11:48.587Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:12:09.016Z MrLongNFT:  Or sham do on Twitter scooped one up and then said he's selling today. So I'm not sure we're still buying this derivative, but shout out to pipes for making a comeback. Drives used to be just apes, and now we got we got green guys. And I have to say PO might have pioneered this, this Pepe Meta real Pepe OG. But that's the roundup everyone trees ezu youths, pudgy Penguins and pudgy peppes. And don't forget, there's a 10 KTF battle today.
2022-08-23T14:12:15.397Z MrLongNFT:  If you know you know it's an honor to represent the good people of the portal discord back to y'all.
2022-08-23T14:12:18.816Z piovincenzo_:  Well, that was fucking fantastic. You are a funny bass.
2022-08-23T14:12:48.92Z piovincenzo_:  Wow I I'm speechless. Bad well ladies and gentlemen retweet the tweet that's pinned to the top, it's sponsorship time. We're going to be talking to grish from Internet game and we are going to learn about some actual innovation and web three. If you retweet the tweet that's pinned to the top and follow Internet game, you will be entered for a chance to win one of three NFT's. And when I look at the number of retweets on that, I think your odds are pretty damn good right now. So we're gonna dive 
2022-08-23T14:13:20.874Z piovincenzo_:  From the nifty portal discord, in an epic recap, I'm seeing a a standing ovation via gifts in the discord right now. People are feeling the Mr Long recap. I don't know. I think that would be hard to do. Every day you're basically writing jokes. But I don't know, we might, we might have our guy. I don't know. We're going to figure that out. We're going to figure it out anyway. Onto Internet game. Now we're talking.
2022-08-23T14:13:26.022Z piovincenzo_:  The first ever sponsor of this show has returned. Never left. What's going on, amigo?
2022-08-23T14:13:34.714Z internet__game:  PNG Nick signal NFG morning show listeners. It's it's great to be back. Thank you guys for having me.
2022-08-23T14:13:46.015Z internet__game:  Yeah.
2022-08-23T14:13:49.749Z internet__game:  Yeah.
2022-08-23T14:13:51.744Z piovincenzo_:  Absolutely Chris pumped to have you man. I mean dude, you got a lot to talk about. You and me. Had our prep call I guess last week about this and I had my mind blown. I'll just have you dude. Take it away man like what's what's the story? What's up with Internet game?
2022-08-23T14:14:22.306Z internet__game:  No, for sure. Well, first of all, again yeah, thank you so much for having me again. Really, really interesting conversation this morning. And I mean frankly. So like a lot of the stuff that that I think about that we talked about internally. You know, really resonated with a lot of like left God's thoughts and perspectives. Even NFT Nicks analogy about the restaurant like these are the things that we we think about a lot, because in a lot of ways, when we think about Internet game, we we refer 
2022-08-23T14:14:53.173Z internet__game:  Of T's but you know, just just to give you guys like a quick primer for those of you who aren't familiar Internet game, my name is Chris. I'm one of the cofounders of Internet game based in New York City. A long time technology operator background in you know product product management, you know management, consulting, venture capital and then growth hacking in particular and you know for us or for myself in particular, have been involved in the web 3 space since 2015 and Internet game again is 
2022-08-23T14:15:23.983Z internet__game:  Largely because we came from a very different place, right? So my cofounder Jordan and I really built Internet game as an expression of this particular thesis that we had, which was the social media itself would be increasingly more incentive based. It would be interactive and it would be community driven. And so for us, we saw this convergence between essentially social media and casual gaming as this kind of macro trend that was occurring. And even when you think about like the Metaverse and a
2022-08-23T14:15:28.784Z internet__game:  As well, right? The movement towards this like 3D more interactive Internet.
2022-08-23T14:15:50.37Z internet__game:  But you know, for us what we really wanted to experiment with was, you know, can we make the Internet more fun? It's really our our major focus here. And so Jordan and I basically started working on the Internet game. I mean, we started, really. I mean, for a little bit longer, but like about a year is really kind of where this this really kind of came to be, where we were already working on this kind of.
2022-08-23T14:16:22.68Z internet__game:  Whole idea of like live stream and casual gaming elimination style contests. But then something very funny happened which was there was this tiny little show out of South Korea that came out that all of a sudden became this huge global sensation, right? And then no prizes for guessing right? It was squad game and you know obviously this hit the world by storm but it hit Jordan and I really really hard just because we were already working on something very similar which was this whole idea of lik
2022-08-23T14:16:41.23Z internet__game:  And win aboard it, right? And like that was really just kind of where we started. And so then from there we decided to really kind of just like lean into this idea. We basically took some of our pre seed funding. In fact half of it and we bought a board ape. We set up our website. We set up our discord and this thing just took off right? So we basically did, yes.
2022-08-23T14:16:45.569Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:16:47.217Z internet__game:  I appreciate that.
2022-08-23T14:16:50.82Z piovincenzo_:  Hold on one second, Chris. Wait, so you raised money like you you had a seed round, it sounds a pre seed and you and you took half of the money you raised just to buy a board 8?
2022-08-23T14:16:58.555Z internet__game:  Yeah, and that's actually kind of one of my favorite stories. Just because you know you don't hear too many founders, you know, kind of betting the farm on a border. But I mean, we did.
2022-08-23T14:17:01.597Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:17:03.695Z allnick:  
2022-08-23T14:17:03.266Z piovincenzo_:  Nick? Nick, what do you think of that man? Like I'm like God?
2022-08-23T14:17:04.364Z RealJonahBlake:  I think you shouldn't tell that story in public.
2022-08-23T14:17:07.529Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:17:08.905Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:17:07.583Z allnick:  Yeah, I I I'm not going to comment on that one.
2022-08-23T14:17:10.12Z piovincenzo_:  Go ahead, Chris.
2022-08-23T14:17:10.785Z allnick:  I mean.
2022-08-23T14:17:39.738Z internet__game:  I mean it, you know, for us you know for us, I think it was one of these things where we wanted to show people that we were serious, right? Like so many of these projects out there, right? When we talk about FT 1.0 and all this kind of stuff like what are we doing here, right? Like and I think Nick. Nick's thoughts in a lot of ways are very very sober. When when you think about the the the market that we went through over the last year where you're essentially kickstarting technology companies i
2022-08-23T14:18:09.97Z internet__game:  Like, hey, like, we bought the board ape, right? Like, we are serious about this. We put it into the prize pool. You can see it. We set up our discord, we docked ourselves. We built the product in advance, right? We built our games in advance, right? So the way that Internet game essentially worked was that we basically held our mint in February of 2021-2022. Shit. And basically we, you know, did $2.1 million in top line or in Mint revenue. But the way that we work is we took 60% of the Mint rev
2022-08-23T14:18:18.613Z internet__game:  So we spent basically over $1.1 million on the most pipe, most attractive, most sought after NT that were actually voted on by our community.
2022-08-23T14:18:49.573Z internet__game:  And then what we did is we set people through here, these kinds of the nation style contest, all like kind of squid game for NFTS, we're basically people had to compete against others for the chance to win these amazing prizes. And you know, so for us this was again a very, very different model. It was so different looking from everything that you're seeing if space, which was like PC's with jetpack utility, you know, so on and so forth. We were something where like from the mint to the delivery
2022-08-23T14:19:21.658Z internet__game:  We delivered the prizes and yes, plenty of people walked away with board apes with unclaimed acoin. We gave away doodles and the sukis and I don't know neotokyo citizens lands like you name it right hundred hundred plus prizes and so plenty of people were happy. But the thing that we found was that unanimously right unanimously our discord people that participate in Internet games. So this is the most fun thing I've ever done in web three and so for us what we really say is that like are you are
2022-08-23T14:19:24.381Z internet__game:  That is the experience that we provide for people in the NFT space.
2022-08-23T14:19:41.85Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:19:49.392Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:19:54.601Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, and that's what I wanted to really focus on, right? Because that's what people need to understand is there's been other examples in the space. Definitely not gonna like name names, but there's other examples in the space where people try to do things that are gamified, but the experience wasn't fun enough. Where people came out on the other end and were satisfied with their purchase investment. Whatever you want to call it right, but you all got really positive feedback, and we're coming i
2022-08-23T14:19:59.809Z piovincenzo_:  I'm assuming you're expecting that. Again, like can you talk about the experience of participating in Internet game?
2022-08-23T14:20:30.589Z internet__game:  Yeah, of course I mean so wanted like as the you know, as one of the people operating the Internet game for season one, I can tell you that I you know, certainly lost years off of my life, right? Like it actually felt like I was just throwing. We were throwing like a party every single day like I'd never seen like such engagement and giddiness and joy like Internet game is very different from again. A lot of the AAA games that Jonah mentioned and and like these games that are like you know, they
2022-08-23T14:21:00.895Z internet__game:  For us, it's one of these things where we just basically wanted to be additive to people everyday lives, right? So you know, we're we all have jobs. We go to work, we go to school, whatever it is that we do. Internet game was this thing where you basically logged in 1015 minutes of your time. You know you do your score. You see what's going on, the discord. You see that there's a lot of syops and fun things going on. It's just really engaging, kind of like interactive community thing. You're ess
2022-08-23T14:21:31.376Z internet__game:  Essentially right, so these games are highly accessible. They're built for everybody, and but at the same time there's a ton of fun, so you know, in season one we just took people through this entire kind of again, emotional rollercoaster of this experience, right where you know they're playing against other people they're scoring, they're, you know they're hoping that their score is good enough to make it to the next round. They're trying to, you know, they're teaming up with other people to he
2022-08-23T14:21:47.247Z internet__game:  They're so fun, right? It doesn't need to have all the bells and whistles in the world is kind of what we realized because as long as the game is is exciting, engaging, addicting, fun, etcetera. And then you have this, this kind of state component where you're playing for something. It's just this incredibly enjoyable experience.
2022-08-23T14:21:57.061Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, and the people that I talked to after the sponsorship, uh, you know, members of our staff and and people that participated the first time really thought it was fun. Easy as his hand raised. Easy did you participate the first time?
2022-08-23T14:22:20.841Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:22:21.429Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:22:27.611Z EasyEatsBodega:  Yeah, I bought 5 tokens for the first game. I loved the game. I thought it was awesome. Like just the community engagement was really cool. You guys had a game in which it was like basically picking one of three options and one would get eliminated, one would get the most points and one would lose it. Just providing a lot of cool like game theory to it. Actually opened it up for a Twitter poll and Twitter. Their vote got me eliminated. So that was fun. But the cool part was like you had all thes
2022-08-23T14:22:45.33Z EasyEatsBodega:  And channels based on what you pick. So there was like all kinds of different moving pieces, but it didn't feel overcomplicated like that was probably the biggest win. Was it felt easy enough to understand on a moving scale. And I thought that was really cool, but I guess my question here is are you bringing back any of the games from season one into season 2 or will it be completely new games?
2022-08-23T14:22:49.483Z EasyEatsBodega:  Awesome.
2022-08-23T14:22:52.594Z internet__game:  It'll be largely new games. We will have a the return of menfolk will, but it will not be.
2022-08-23T14:22:52.837Z EasyEatsBodega:  Ohh nice.
2022-08-23T14:23:23.165Z internet__game:  Yeah, but it will not be like you remember. So I think that's also kind of the craziest thing, right? Like, so between season one, season 2, what's happened? Right. So season one, in a lot of ways, we were this fringe project, right? Like, people would be like, where's the PFP? What do you mean that I need to participate in? Seems like I need to buy another NT domain. It was just, again, this entire thing where there was this entire Miss education of the NFT consumer, right? Like, they were like
2022-08-23T14:23:54.417Z internet__game:  Writing what the promise was, and all this kind of stuff as opposed to like being like, hey, these guys are actually executing and providing something for us now and in a lot of ways like season one. Like we said, we used our our pre seed funding for it in a lot of ways. It was like this multi $1,000,000 international alpha. It became a lot bigger than we expected it to but you know still manageable in a lot of ways but since then you know we've raised millions of dollars from a lot of the best 
2022-08-23T14:24:24.739Z internet__game:  You know, even during this kind of more quiet time, right. We refer to Internet game season 2 as the bear market battle, right. There's significantly less alpha out there. You know, there's, you know, you can basically, like, look at the 1/2 projects that are willing to launch, right. A lot of these quality projects straight up sitting on their hands because they don't see the point. Right. And then even somebody that's coming out with a point to Earth mint people are like, Oh no way, you know w
2022-08-23T14:24:56.292Z internet__game:  Agreement like don't get caught with the FT and so for us we wanted to provide this more engaging experience so you know with us now we're back and we're like, hey, let's do something really awesome for the NT community during this quiet time, right? Like let's build that experience that easy you know participated in. But like again, it's this tremendously fun thing. But now again, our our levels have like really kind of shifted upwards, right? Like we have our team like we're a team of 12 now. 
2022-08-23T14:25:03.856Z allnick:  So.
2022-08-23T14:25:04.32Z internet__game:  Really shit when you see season 2 because it's almost like this, like Mario party, like experience, where the games are just on another level relative to season one.
2022-08-23T14:25:12.624Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:25:20.854Z EasyEatsBodega:  No, that's I did have one question there, just to follow up. I mean, I noticed that you had G money on the team from like a I don't know if it's like a speaker for it, but I'm curious what that actually looks like because I know he's the one that wasn't as much like visuals, conversations, stuff like that, like show almost. So I'm curious what that's going to look like and I promise no more questions.
2022-08-23T14:25:50.165Z internet__game:  Yeah, so I think in season that's a great question. So in season one we had Ethan Mecca of the host as the host and by the way, that was actually really interesting. You guys were talking about. Like the Metaverse Concerts FM Mecca just got signed by Capital Records to be the first AI rapper which is pretty pretty wild, but you're right like you know we had this whole kind of vision of having these like intro cut scenes and all this kind of stuff but frankly we just like we were dying. So like y
2022-08-23T14:26:10.247Z internet__game:  Product G Money is significantly more involved in this. We actually I was just with him on Friday of last week where we basically have him in mocap, right? You're going to see money like you've never seen it before, so we have them rigged up in an entire motion capture suit where he's essentially playing the games along with you. He's introducing every single game, but that's just because we're much more well set up for it this time.
2022-08-23T14:26:23.698Z internet__game:  There you go.
2022-08-23T14:26:24.131Z piovincenzo_:  Sounds like a jam. I know easy has been talking about live streaming Internet game, so not only will easy be participating it sounds like, but he'll actually be using you guys to get YouTube views, so I don't know how that.
2022-08-23T14:26:29.909Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:26:42.173Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:26:35.263Z allnick:  What what we're trying to the I think more so he wants to facilitate a partnership that enables that to occur more more than anything else. So how do we make that happen but.
2022-08-23T14:26:37.967Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:26:46.402Z internet__game:  HQ.
2022-08-23T14:26:50.205Z allnick:  I I feel like I saw a photo of G money in the studio doing this, so it's like the thought of making it like I'm blanking on that trivia game from before. That was like yeah HQ. So is it? Is it trying to go that sort of path?
2022-08-23T14:27:20.104Z internet__game:  Yeah. I mean, I think in a lot like HQ is actually a really big inspiration for us, right? G Money's an investor, right? G Money came across us in December of 2021, said, what is this? I've never seen anything like this invested on the spot. The founder of HQ is also an investor of ours just because I think for us it was one of these things where we really love this whole idea of interactive media. I truly believe that interactive media will become the future of entertainment, right? Like right 
2022-08-23T14:27:51.266Z internet__game:  Us where we're almost like a mix between HQ Trivia and Mario party in a lot of ways. And so the whole idea of kind of like a live game show something that was really, really interesting to us. But at the same time the thing that you always kind of need to be aware of is specifically when you have a total addressable market in the FT space which is limited to begin with, is that you people playing from all over the world, right, you people playing in Europe in LA and Hawaii and and New York in Au
2022-08-23T14:28:21.41Z internet__game:  You spend more time having fun in the discord and like you know, like messing with people. The syops in the game is like is is on another level. I could tell you guys some ridiculous stories, but at the same time it's this thing where I don't care how busy you are or how free you are. You know you have basically a X amount of tries, you're limited to how much you can spend on playing Internet game and regardless if you do it in the morning, the middle of the day at night, you do it during your l
2022-08-23T14:28:27.434Z internet__game:  Game show component to it. What we what we do is we just kind of have these 24 hour windows where you can come in and you can play the game.
2022-08-23T14:28:30.176Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:28:32.055Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:28:42.477Z piovincenzo_:  I mean it sounds epic. I mean, so like I guess you know how if people want to participate, they buy the tokens and then what is it, what does it look like from there? Do they benefit from buying 5 tokens as opposed to one? Like what are kind of the mechanics?
2022-08-23T14:29:13.463Z internet__game:  Yeah, that's a great question. So basically the way that again, like I mentioned the way that Internet game works right? And the way that we're different, right? Is like you're not kickstarting us as a technology company, you're actually participating in an experience like I like to refer to us as the Coachella of the Internet. Like you will have such a great time playing an Internet game just because it's this thing that you can do with your friends, right? Like I heard stories of coworkers pla
2022-08-23T14:29:46.484Z internet__game:  People who were participating could do this like, you know, could help each other, right. So it's just like really, really fun experience. And so for us, the way that it works, the way that you can participate in Internet game, there's essentially I guess 3 three ways. One is that you can basically participate on our public sale, which is on August 30th and you can mint and as many season 2 tickets as you want. Right. So again, you know, PO, you talk about kind of innovation or the way that we k
2022-08-23T14:30:16.904Z internet__game:  You know, onboarding the masses into what, three if you have a, you know, 5000 supply or 8000, like, you're gonna have 5000 fans. You have 8000 fans. You can't like, you can't have more than that. And so for us, it's one of these things where you can participate in the public sale on August 30th. You can get 1 ticket, you get three tickets, you get 5, you get 50, you get as many as you want. And each ticket essentially represents a player in the game. So PO, you can play a ticket number one and 
2022-08-23T14:30:43.175Z piovincenzo_:  Ohh damn.
2022-08-23T14:30:46.516Z internet__game:  OK. These guys are a team that's actually doing something. They have a business model. They are, you know, here for years to come, right? You don't have to worry about that because we have the runway for it regardless. You can essentially buy a game token, which is one of the things that we're giving away. What it does is our utility for it is that it provides you with essentially heavily discounted access to every single season. And you know, here's some alpha for you guys, like we're doing 4. 
2022-08-23T14:30:49.314Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:30:50.929Z piovincenzo_:  So our August 30th 2nd season, two more seasons by the end of the year.
2022-08-23T14:30:52.135Z internet__game:  That is correct.
2022-08-23T14:30:55.76Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:30:55.892Z piovincenzo_:  Oh, she OK, uh, kicks, you have your hand raised. What's going on?
2022-08-23T14:30:58.302Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:24.627Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:26.836Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:26.566Z SpeculatorArt:  Yeah, I just wanted to comment that, you know, first of all, I think what you guys are doing is is really, really cool. And I and I love how you're approaching, you know, building this and and looking at, you know, catering towards the existing NFT and Web 3 ecosystem. Instead of like trying to go like, you know, get normies, for lack of a better word, like I I really think more projects need to focus on just like catering to like the audience that is here and understands the technology. But jus
2022-08-23T14:31:33.781Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:40.547Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:49.515Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:52.953Z internet__game:  Either.
2022-08-23T14:31:54.068Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:31:56.871Z SpeculatorArt:  About people are all around the world, and so you can't have these like live PvP game in like a scalable way so it just letting people be able to play the games if they have 10 or 15 minutes a day and they can do it from anywhere in the world. I think that's like really powerful because let's be honest, most of the people that are bullish about you know games. These days we're all a lot of us are older people and we don't have time to play video games for 12 hours a day. You know what I mean. So
2022-08-23T14:31:58.514Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:32:00.086Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:32:12.847Z SpeculatorArt:  Experience I can get into this game. My time commitment is only, you know, 15 minutes a day, 30 minutes a day to do everything I need to do. I think that's a really powerful narrative for your project. And just web three projects in general is kind of building products that the market wants, right?
2022-08-23T14:32:43.104Z internet__game:  For sure. And I think I, I really appreciate you saying that. And again, like there was a conversation, I think it was between you and Jonah, where you guys were talking about, like, again, these AAA games. And I think John was saying, like, you know, it costs a lot of freaking money to build these games. And not only like not only do you have to invest in up front in that, but then on top of that, you know, people need to like it and then not only do people need to like it, you need to compete 
2022-08-23T14:33:13.184Z internet__game:  In a game, right? But like if there's only like 50 users or 100 users like, it's gonna take forever right? And so I think that like the for us, we sit on the other side of the spectrum, right? It only takes us 345 days to build out a casual game, and that's by design, right? We actually can move and ship product really, really quickly. So even for us when you know people saying like oh, wow, you guys gonna do 4 Internet games this year, like the reason we can do that is because we can actually s
2022-08-23T14:33:43.853Z internet__game:  And as we kind of go through our entire marketing exercise and I know we talked about like the innovation of marketing, all this kind of stuff, but like I always say, I'm like I don't want to have to, I don't want to have to educate somebody on what meta mask is, right. Like I refer to these as crypto native games and that's why we have G money as the host and the, you know, the prize is aboard ape, right. But over time, right. And like you know, when when we raised money, you know, for us it's 
2022-08-23T14:34:14.677Z internet__game:  And really kind of supporting that that onboarding in a way where people don't even have to utilize meta mask if they don't, if they you know if they don't know what it is or they don't know how to do it. But then simultaneously it's about giving different types of communities, prizes or incentives that they're actually interested in, right? Everyone that's listening right now. The reason that we've come into this space is because of economic incentive, right? We've we learn about this particula
2022-08-23T14:34:18.543Z internet__game:  Learning about these types of things right, but there's plenty of people who just don't care.
2022-08-23T14:34:28.483Z internet__game:  And so for us, you know, like you, of course we're doing this bear market battle of big money is the host and the board ape as the main prize. But over the course of time over the course of years, you know we'll be doing things like.
2022-08-23T14:34:42.655Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:34:45.702Z piovincenzo_:  
2022-08-23T14:34:47.046Z internet__game:  You know the Taco Bell's Internet game, right? The Taylor Swift Internet game, the New York Knicks sex Internet game where all of a sudden it's not really about winning a board. 8 But it's about you know free soft tacos for life. Oh, and it happens to be an NFT or if you get to meet you know your your favorite pop star. Oh, and it happens to be an FTP. Or you could sit courtside at your favorite teams game.
2022-08-23T14:35:03.247Z internet__game:  But if you don't want to, you could sell it right, and so these are the types of things that we're doing. So rather than kind of focusing on the education component and and and all that kind of stuff, I would rather just kind of circumvent that. I want to make the platform super super simple for people to utilize, and I want to give things to people that they want.
2022-08-23T14:35:26.722Z piovincenzo_:  Yeah, you're getting people in our discord. Super excited. So ladies and gentlemen, this is your last chance to retweet the tweet that's pinned at the top and and follow Internet game. I'm drawing winners momentarily AKA literally in like 2 seconds, so retweet the tweet that's been to the top. I have the software open I'm about to load the tweet. Easy you seem ultra excited about this in the Discord man are you? Are you just jazzed up?
2022-08-23T14:35:38.219Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:35:43.972Z internet__game:  
2022-08-23T14:35:55.908Z EasyEatsBodega:  Dude, I loved the first one. Like, I can't say it enough. I thought that this is like when I think of like, I hate the word utility, but like this was something that actually felt like by owning a token you got to play. It was quick, it kept you engaged. There was a whole sub thread in the nifty about it and it was insanely active, like just people talking back and forth. And this is like the perfect time to do it. When the markets quiet, this gets people excited and it's just like, it's fun. It
2022-08-23T14:36:08.637Z EasyEatsBodega:  Trading opportunities like I was flipping the tokens that had higher points in the one eighth challenge we had. There was just all kinds of stuff going on with it that I thought was really innovative and because of that I'm just like a huge fan so I'm excited to see what happens with it moving forward.
2022-08-23T14:36:09.937Z internet__game:  Yeah, easy. I should have had you speak instead of me, man.
2022-08-23T14:36:14.955Z EasyEatsBodega:  
2022-08-23T14:36:42.49Z internet__game:  I mean and again I I know, I know. We're almost at time and stuff like that, but I just wanna, you know, just again, I just want to point that out or like you know, really just kind of discuss that because again, the the thing that we're most interested in right is the practical applications of NFC technology, right? Like NFT 1.0 right? Is like again, kickstarting technology companies. All these essentially unintentional rugs, right? People are trying to swing for the fences with, you know, a mi
2022-08-23T14:37:14.282Z internet__game:  When you mint, you're actually minting for the experience. Like for us, it's like going to a concert. It's like going to a nice restaurant, right? It's like hanging out with your friends at a, you know, a particular venue at a whatever it is. Like you actually get the utility, which is fun and like like easy said, like and it's kind of funny because like sometimes all these like alpha group kind of comments about Internet game will get like posted to me. And we have these innovations in place wh
2022-08-23T14:37:21.196Z internet__game:  And you're like, holy shit, I'm in 10th place out of, I don't know, you know, a thousands of people. Let me see if someone wants to take my place, right?
