Your mission was to help black entrepreneurs, black creatives, you know, black musicians, whatever, whatever type of creative. You are a black entrepreneurs as well at Black at And one of the conversations we have earlier is how do you protect who this community is for? Because the point of you know, cryptos like anybody effectively can get in. You can have the allow lists, you know, but that resale could potentially
be to anybody. So how do you protect the community this mission ultimately or is that even like a fair question you know to be asking? So it's it's a fair question. I mean like if you're saying a community is for a certain type of person, then you would assume and and that is like the shared vision, then you would assume that that is what you're getting when you buy this community. So I think it's a fair question,
and it's a question that I've gotten before. UM And you know, there's not to be honest, like to be frank and transparent, there's not this technological way for us to figure out, UM, how to protect that right. There's a terms of service, there are UM rules that you're expected to follow before joining this joining our group chat, but that's really other than like self governance. That's really all that we can do to make sure that we
are protecting that space. We are very very alert though, and very much looking at our members and the new members. But a couple of things that we're seeing, uh is that So every UM large conference, I would say, or not even not even large, but there are different conferences. Were black at Travels and UM either we have experiences or we create content such as, um, you know, a day of panels and maybe a closing party or whatever
it is that we're doing at that conference. Uh So at Black Tech League and Aren't Bossil and south By Southwest and Consensus, we created these group chats for black folks that were traveling to these different conferences. And it's specifically for black that is why it's black at So a lot of people think I'm saying like black hat are black, app it is black and at sign um meaning we are black at south By Southwest or black
at Fossil. And so there's one time recently where we were at Black Tech Week and there's somebody in there and we were we were all like, I don't know, y'all, I am not bored, and so we had to like we just we went in, asked some questions and then we decided like, this is not UM a person that will be a part of our community, and so we let them know and and uh they were kicked out. So you know, we are vigilant UM and we're definitely making sure that we are checking to make sure that
this is a space for black folks. UM. The other thing that we're doing for people that want to support black AT without them being black themselves is we are partnering with different communities to UM purchase a black at token and then allow them to give them to their community members. We've had a couple of communities UM do
that and we're hoping to partner with more. UM. We think that's one of the best ways of getting your giving your community OUTPHA is giving them a place where they can not only be a part of whatever community that you created UM that our partner has created, but also a way for them to get further into Web three. Right that only increases the value of their of their token UM by allowing them to be part of other
Web three communities UM. And then we're also having we have sponsor token, so we have some sponsors that have said, you know what, I got some black folks. If I'm not black, but I got some black folks in my network that I think would be great for this, And so they bought tokens and then gifted them to others. So that's kind of how we're we're maneuvering, but everybody knows this is like a black black black space, this black tech. Green Money shared this podcast with the Be Your Closest Too,
