What up, what up? Good morning, good morning GMG Friday, July 19th, 4024 Look. At that. Another beautiful day to have a beautiful day. I got my coast in the house. We I've swamped coast a lot this week. Monday I started the week off with with Ovie and Mando was like an OG and I'm ending the week with Tyler and Ovie. Tyler, Ovie good morning. How you guys doing? Good man, good to be good to be back twice in a week. Twice in a week dude, it's funny. You know the bull market's back.

Want to come out and talk about it? Yeah, definitely. That's how we know it's back. It's almost like ETF's are getting ready to launch on the 23rd literally in like 2 business days, right? Because tomorrow's the weekend anyway. So it's almost like we're right there, right there at the start line, not the finish line. Tyler, how you doing this morning? Feeling great. It's my son's 5th birthday today so he's. 10.

Of five we did presents already. We're going to the ice cream museum have a nice nice big day and then big party tomorrow. So it's a it's a blockbuster weekend in the in the Tyler D household here. I love that. So what do you, what do you do for a 5th birthday for a kid? What are you throwing tomorrow? What are you? What are you doing? Yeah, so we've got like 8 to 10

of his friends coming over. We've got a big like bouncy house we're going to put up on the roof with like a, a water slide part of it. And it's it's playing in that it's water balloons, popsicles and ice cream for a. Couple hours you clean the bouncing house on the roof. Safely, yeah, we've it's strapped out. We're only four floors up, so I'm in the mid rise. So it's not that high. OK.

So it it'll be fine. And then what's nice about having to you, you learn this when you get into the kid party scene. The advantages of hosting the party yourself versus going off site is you're a little bit more flexible on hours. So if you're having fun, parents are having a few drinks while the kids are playing, you can run three or four hours versus, you know, if you go to the the gymnasium down block 2:00 to 4:00 and you're out the door

and. Then I've heard from many parents, I've heard from many parents that the alpha to go to kids party is having a little drink, not too much, you know, it's. Just common than you think, at least in Chicago. In Chicago, I'm talking like the the 9:00 AM kid parties have drinks so. But the kid party scene, yeah, Brad picked up on that. That is so funny. Well, look, parents take notes. Parents take notes here. I mean, we're, we could start a

kid show soon on this show. I mean, I at this stage, I'm the only one without a kit. Like even on the rug radio team, like everybody's got kids. Sam's got a couple kids. You know, Bernie's got. I think Bernie has a bunch of kids. I mean, he manages 2 discords, you know, he, you know, you got Loxy's got like three kids, you know, everybody's got kids on my team. You know, Jennifer's got two kids too. Oh my God. I'm like, I'm not late. I'm I'm 29. OK. It's good. It's good.

It's good. It's good. Don't thank you, Ovi. Thank you very much for that. See, Ovi just had a kid. How, how's it, How's I'm going to check in again. Like how's, how's it being a dad, you know, five days later. I already asked you that. But how's the baby doing? She's doing well. Yeah. I love it, man.

It's it's the best. It's definitely a change because you just have to like all the all the shit that it is like, oh, I'm going to go like go for beer now or like, I don't know, go out for go out to a restaurant to eat dinner and all that stuff kind of changes because, you know, so we can't, we don't even have dinner at the same time because it's like, oh, you watch her and I'll go eat and then we'll swap like shit like that until she gets older. So, but yeah, I'm loving it.

I love that I love that sounds a lot of fun. We'll get there where we get there. But anyway, so there was a show today today. I'm not sure where mando is, but I'm I hope he's OK. I hope he's OK. He was meant to be here, but it's OK. We got Ovie daily market reports. Ovie, I'm going to give you the market report even though you came originally correct. So so start Googling. What happened?

Never knew what's going. On it's not like you ever knew what was going on with the market when you would do the market OK, you would find out at like the show's at 10:30. Ovie would find out like 1029 what's going on. So anyway, daily market report as usual, macro, crypt, all that good stuff. We have a big week next week with the ETTS going live, so it's going to be really important. Then of course, Tyler's top 100. I'm sure you have a a bunch of stuff to talk about.

Also, what the fuck with this crowd strike thing this morning, Like the whole world went down right? Which is wild. That was crazy. And then last but not least, robot. Today, robot, robot, robot. We have man. So we've been talking about doodles a lot and they're two ETH. So I added four doodles. We have 7 mil ladies, 4 punks, five apes, sorry mutant apes and

then 1-2 like 7-8 red guys. So we have a lot of different NFTS for play out of the 25 last robot spins, it's been 24 red guys that have all gone back to the floor beds. It's time see, we're keeping the we're we're keeping the volume alive. Ovi and then but today, today this changes today this changes. Last time we hit a big, big punk Ovi was on with us. So this time we're hoping that we get a big hit for two lucky witness. But there's a catch. We're not doing Twitter pickers.

We're tired of people gaming the Twitter picker. We want to reward people are actually listening to the show OG listeners. You see how people react whenever like an OG wins, right? Like Sarah not long ago, Bernie, etcetera, like everybody gets super excited. So I think I did on the show. I'm going to ask a question. It could be about OB could be about Tyler grab something they said. And if you're in the comments of YouTube or the broadcast on X, rebroadcast on X every, you can

comment there. And I see it on my right hand side. Anyways, I see all the X comments. You're going to be selected to come up. So we'll give you extra time to get on your phone and come on the show. So that way we know that you're attentive. Attentive. That's a word, right? Yeah, new word unlocked and so and so. There you go. So anyways, anyways, anyways, without further ado, let's get right into it. Daily market report brought to you by Rogue Radio. Who's if? What's the word?

Wow, what throwback. I feel, I feel all, I feel all nostalgic with that I. Love. That all right macro we had a bit of a a quieter maybe even a weaker end to the week. There was a decent down move in stocks yesterday. You know like we've we're at the moment going through a summer where pretty much like every day or every other day we've seen equities, NASDAQ and the S&P 500 hit new all time highs. So to have a pullback, I think

it's pretty natural. Obviously we had the tech issue worldwide tech issues today in Microsoft systems. So that maybe kind of spooked things a little bit this morning. But futures this morning around change. We had a down day yesterday. Something I would look at, I was recommend looking at right now in equities and looking at the Russell 2000 index. That's a an index of 2000 of some of the more smaller and what perceives to be riskier companies.

And that tends to be a good metric or bellwether of risk appetite in traditional finance. So if you look at year to date moves, NASDAQ is up about 20% year to date. And the Russell 2000 is only up I think 11 or 12% year to date. But there was a day this week when it was up 3 1/2 percent, which is a big move for that. So keep an eye on that because people have historically also compared that to crypto as well. You know, the idea about crypto is like, OK, I've made a much

money on stocks. Where can I go next to make that bigger return? And that will happen when like the the music stops playing on stocks where whereas right now you've had crazy returns on NVIDIA and all, all all this stuff because of the AI bubble. So as soon as that stabilizes, a lot more people will look to bigger return profiles, which historically has been cryptic. But the Russell is a good index

of that as well. And I think it's seeing that three 3 1/2 percent move in one day earlier this week is a is a sign that perhaps some some of the more traditional participants are looking further at the risk curve now. So keep an eye on that crypto man. We're off to the races again this afternoon. Yeah, Bitcoin 65 1/2 Ki see on my screen right now, Solana is very strong. Soul's up against Bitcoin and

ETH. I think Soul ETH is yeah, Soul ETH is at the one of the highest level it's been since May. We're at 0.048 now and that's just a massive green candle up. So Seoul is definitely leading the charge, but things look strong in crypto. We had, I mean, honestly, the last two days I've been wondering why we've been selling

off. I just, yeah, I just, I couldn't put my finger on it. And there's obviously been a lot of speculation coming out from yesterday about Donald Trump potentially announcing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve currency for the US. And that would be an insanely, insanely positive catalyst. I mean, right now, the US owns 210,000 Bitcoin, which is north of $13 billion worth of Bitcoin.

And if you look at that from like a business mind, all they have to do is announce something positive for Bitcoin and suddenly they're making billions of dollars in PNL, right? And then they can either decide to sell that or they can be like, cool, this is a strategic reserve currency now. And by the way, we're one of the largest holders of it in the world. Or you other countries you keep, it's about time you start fucking catching up and then you

end up pumping your own bags. So that's how I would look at it as like a trader, as a business person. And I'd like to think Trump is more that way inclined than, you know, all this other stuff, all these other reasons why the US tends to quash it. So I think that's a very interesting thing to watch out for. The rumour is that he potentially announces that at the Bitcoin conference, which he speaks out on the 27th of July. So in my opinion, we're seeing a delayed reaction to that.

I really think for me, even if there's only a 10% chance for that, Bitcoin should be up massively on that. But yeah, we'll see how things go. Right now, Major's leading, but we'll see. It looks like it lagged, right? Like, 'cause you were texting yesterday, like, hey, like, why is Bitcoin not moving, even if it's just a rumor? And I was like, well, it's just a rumor. Nothing's nothing's moves until

it's like just a rumor. But it's true that headlines usually have moved markets in the past. They should. There was, I mean, look, maybe someone bought a bunch of the Germany Bitcoin and then they're now taking profits because they made a quick few 100 mil or whatever it is. It could be that, But just we

keep saying this. I keep saying this every time I come on. We've just had insane amounts of positive headlines, positive speculation and there are major, major positive catalysts to come I think in the next six months. They are not to be faded and I genuinely believe than this rally we're in right now, this move higher we're seeing right now. I think this is the move that takes us to new all time highs on Bitcoin. I think we're there now. I think this is the start of

phase two of the bull market. I really believe that. Yeah, no, you're right. So this clip, I thought this was an old clip because I mean, he's made that speech before, but was that from yesterday? This is no, this is not from yesterday. This is an old clip, but it's. Because everyone is like new, but it's this is not new, right? I look crazy cool. That was the one where he says he wants to make it the right to self custody, a right and then

American made Bitcoin right. Yeah, it's protects you from Elizabeth Warren and. Hakoons Yeah, yeah. Edmar Goons Yeah, that that one, that was that was a good one. This this latest, this latest rumor, which obviously for now would call it rumor until it's he actually says it himself. But if that's right, like I saw, I saw a stat, I saw a stat that that Mando shared yesterday. There you go, Right, Tyler? Like what do you think on that? It was US hold gold holdings are

$579 billion. This is real. This is a big deal. Yeah, that's the opium number right there. As soon as I saw that, my eyes lit up. I think even like the base case, right is if he announces it and if you're even, you're like a bear on it being like a real thing. Like they, they might just hold the 210,000 they've got, right, which which is still a positive outcome because it's, it's a lot of cell pressure. But I mean, if they actually start accumulating it, I mean, there's a huge gap.

But what Obi just said that they've got, we've got 13 billion in Bitcoin versus 580 billion in gold. If you actually believe that Bitcoin is digital gold and it's the the next big thing for this digital era, those numbers, they don't lie. Like that's not the right split right between digital gold and actual gold. It should be much even if you want to say you know just on a market gap basis should be a 5 to one right four and 1/2 to 1/5 to 1/6 to 1, not 300 to one or whatever it is so.

Do you know who thinks Bitcoin is digital gold? Larry Fink? Larry Fink? Maybe Larry Fink? He's slamming the buy button today. We know it. We already know he is. Yeah, Speaking of Larry Fink, or very own Larry Fink, Mando, or should I say Mondo now that he sits in France. Mondo how you doing? I'm doing great man. Sorry I had a call which overran. Good. You're good. I I love every morning much say I'm doing great. I RZ Meadows like the epitome of like doing great. Like every day.

Yeah, another day in paradise. Dude I I cycle cycle high for the Mando crypto portfolio. Let no screenshots. No screenshots. To send. Ovi, hold that screenshot to yourself, motherfucker. You know what happens the last two times? I know there was a time in the group chat where Mando and Ovi went band for band. First of all, I never felt more poor in my life. The second of all, the market collapsed like 30% on the back of that. We're back. We're back, dude.

Remember. Oh, so that that high, OK, Remember that time, Obi? Obi says. Just like, yeah, I'm feeling so good about my cycle that Solana goes from 15 to 115, Yeah. JLJLP. Baby JLP. Guys you. Guys have got to get involved. I mean, I mean Nando, I mean was going to you know, obviously Obi just gave us his his take on a on the on the market. But no matter where how I put it like, look, this is solely this is BTC Dom, this is total 3.

This is Bitcoin, this is ETH and sole no matter what I look at, I don't do charts, mate, right, But E looks good across the board. I mean man, what do you think? I think, I think Solana looks like it's about to go to 200 market looks good. I am very, very bullish. I I mean the strategic reserve stuff, that's a game changer.

Like if, if Donald Trump says the central Bank of the United States should have Bitcoin as a strategic, as in a strategic reserve, assets like that will FOMO in every single central bank around the world. And we've already seen some of this, right? You've seen some of like the, you know, like the El Salvador's of the world's. Some of the South American countries have been like, yeah, we're going to we're going to accept these legal tender.

You know, some of them have gone as far as to have like their own domestic supply like like El Salvador. But if, if Donald Trump comes out and says at Bitcoin national, hey, I want to add Bitcoin to the strategic reserve, like I said yesterday, like central banks own trillions of dollars of gold, like trillions of dollars of gold. If if they start doing this with with Bitcoin, yeah, this this could get very, very silly. Yeah, it's, it's looking great.

We're just lady just talking about that and mention your tweet from yesterday. And then Tyler was saying like if that's the case like this, like what 4 1/2 to one or something like 5 to one kind of like ratio. There's a lot of catching up to do on the on the Bitcoin side. And we all know what happens. America leads and usually the others follow. Yeah, so so so yeah dude, if Trump wins and this happens, maybe I don't have to leave Canada because Canada loves copy pasting.

America makes my life easier. No, don't worry. Don't find a way to fuck it up. If anything, I need China to start buying Bitcoin for Trudeau to wake up anyways. So that's that's a sorry my fellow Canadians. I just, you know, I I I can't help myself. I cannot help myself here. I have this like wrist Wiener on my on my camera, but I feel like it's off putting.

It's is it off? I I just found it was on the floor and this poor Penguin keeps staring at me in the back and I don't know where to put it. And I thought it was like good here. It's a it's a wrist Wiener. You know, I have no idea if five year old should have Tyler right? But but anyways, so that's I think I mean, look, market wise. I I mean, I don't know what else to go over. I mean the memes are meaning, I mean Pepe's back up to 5 billion more bounced and it's back at 800 mil.

Even Popcat has like a massive red green candle. 830 whiff is at 2:50. I mean let's speak about that. What a what? A flipped arm again? Yeah, 2.5 now damn at 2:00. 50 what a comeback on that I mean across the board all the Oh yeah look like that was to your point man though right but you're talking about talking as top losers, but it seems like and. If you really want to get into memes, we got to talk Mr. Meggles. Let's go. I know you like that one, Tyler. Go for it. Let it rip.

We. Don't have any. So I just just get the disclosure out of the way. I I'm in, I'm in tears. I'm in shambles. Oh, sure, sure. Because I it was covering. The coin on the blockchain. Look at this chart. This thing is three days old. It's already $100 million. Now it's. Just. Crazy unbelievable. I guess even really recall.

I mean besides boom. Like I can't really recall since boom, this type of parabolic early early day price action all all while everyone who who minted the NOTS is is just down the the gas money they paid while the the Anon who dropped the niggles token is just printing along with anyone who got in early on it. I don't know. I can't call top on this thing. It could be 250 million by Sunday, and I wouldn't bet an eye.

It's up 96% in 24 hours. So during the show yesterday when we're talking about it, it's it's really up 100%. I mean, look, I feel like base kind of needed a good neem coin. It's kind of like kind of on there. It's almost #2 already, I think Toshi, I saw Toshi at like 95 million. So Brett's like up the stratosphere, but I think Migos might already be two by market cap, putting Euro aside. How do you look? It's here right by market caps, you have Brett, Brett, Brett.

So these are different, Brett. You know Aerodrome Toshi. OK, so Toshi's at one O 1. OK. So it's another 10% move, yeah. So it's it's third. I mean, it's probably going to flip that like by end of day. End of the show, probably. End of the show probably. This is why. I mean, what's the latest that had a run like this? Was Billy right on Seoul? The latest coin to have like an insane run. Yeah, I guess maybe Billy. Took a while there for Billy.

Billy was out for a while right before eight 100 like this is two or three days Coinbase Coinbase mafia behind it, right? Coinbase mafia behind it. Oh my God. I mean like they definitely like this for sure. I'm sure they like it. I I don't know if it's Coinbase behind it, but they're definitely behind Mr. Miggles. I just thought that they picked the Persian cat. That's that's all that matters. You know it. All roads lead back to to Persia, I'm telling.

I like the cat. I have to take that one do. You like the cat? Did you like, I mean, I when last time I said we like the cats, you know, and that went down. So I that I like one cat is my joy cat. You know, also political coin, also a cat coin. So right. That's the beautiful thing about Mark. You know, it could be whatever you want it to be. It could be a cat coin. It could be a it could be the other kind of coin. Anyways, Tyler.

What do you got for us NFD and crypto analysis Tyler D on FOMO our cause the kid can't. Great to batch the bears. Yeah, so crypto majors are are green now rallying this morning amidst this global cyber outage. Definitely just shaking that off. Solana leading the charge. Some big news out of base yesterday they reported that on Chain Summer their on chain summer products have generated more than $1,000,000 in revenue and another win for Coinbase

stockholders. Meanwhile, Mr. Miggles leading all memes soaring past $90,000,000 in three days. In other meme news we saw with Flip Arbitrum and this new Moon Shot app, it debuted yesterday in the Apple App Store offering a new way of buying and selling meme coins via Apple Pay deposits. Also credit, debit cards, PayPal and crypto without those wallet creation headaches. So that seems like a fun new app to watch.

In other news, Polymarket hit a new all time high in daily $20 million yesterday amidst the the US political chaos. Polyfi coins saw a lot of action as well, led by that comma token Trump. As we talked about, he's rumored to share this Bitcoin strategic reserve policy, potentially at Bitcoin Nashville, though crypto and Bitcoin were not mentioned at all in his rambling 90 minute speech from last night.

In NFT news, Yuga announced a major partnership with Pixel Vault and Reboot to bring skill based wagering into the other side. So I'm curious to learn a bit more about that. We saw the other side announced Project Dragon that's going to start July 27th at noon. And then Grant Yoon, some big news in the art world here. An old soul edition of 150 debuted .37 ETH. That's over 1200 bucks. That's a 3X for mentors. So nice to see a win back on the old NFT board.

Yeah, definitely. We've been getting a lot of little wins on the NFT board lately. It's good. It's good. Like slowly but surely. Like there's a lot of little things going on, right? I mean, we'll talk about it soon with with Ovi and what they've got going on on the wrecked side. But like between you guys and the doodle stuff we talked about already this week, the 18 stuff that's starting to like slowly, like creep up on people, the Zuki anime stuff. I mean, it's it's it's it's it's

not looking bad. But I want to go back to one thing. I want to go back to moon shot first. Like I saw an Uzi Johnson and base carbon switch get the badge. You saw that on on XI saw they got the the the the moon shot badge. I think I saw a founder or something moon shot talk about how moon pay made it easily accessible for people in 130 countries to acquire crypto using credit cards, etcetera, which arguably one of the best

on ramps has been built. Shout out to the folks there, but Moon Shot is kind of trying to be that for meme coins, right? Is that what it is? Yeah, I mean, that's how I describe it. And it's just, it's just kind of like ignoring. It's like kind of cutting straight to the chase. Like you want to trade meme coins. That's what you're you're here for. Here's an app that you can do it.

I mean, a lot of the, the core like crypto components of like self custody, a lot of it's all behind the scenes, right? Here's an app you put your money in, you trade the coins, you see your bounce go up or down and it's all Solana. You know, I imagine that they may integrate additional chain or meme leaders in the future, but it was interesting to see that, you know, that they started with the the clear leader in the meme place. It's on solana.

I mean I when it comes to meme coins outside of solana, it's Pepe and mob like I don't see Mr. mingos. I'm sorry, but like I I I like honestly, it's like solana eco like even when my watch is like all soul tokens like it's I don't know, it just feels like that's one. Have you guys seen this moon shot thing? Ovi Mando? Yeah, I had. A conversation with them already. Really. Yeah, I was like, this thing

could be huge. I messaged him and was like hey how can I partner with Epic or just some way like. Let's oh, my favorite dev, my favorite meme coin dev. The second there's an opportunity for epic, he's on top of it. Look at that. So is Epic honored by default or do you have to do anything to get on there? I think it's on there by default. Anything. Most things on Jupiter are. No, don't you have to get listed on one shot or if all of them are really OK? I don't know I haven't tried yet.

I need to give it a shot. Huh interesting. I don't know I need to get my refling game refling game up here. I think I think this I I heard remember when sponk bought first came out MF first were making like $1000 a day on here. I mean, this thing takes off in this scenario where this takes off, I feel like it's huge for the salon of meme leaders. It's huge for like that next

tier as well, right? Like in any of the the trending tokens like that's, they're just going to be front and Center for anyone using this app. I think it's about time we have a native app that's just for meme coins, right? Like why do we always have to wait for Coinbase or for Kraken or for Binance? Like we, you know how we always say like oh we're waiting for the Coinbase listing this and that and Coinbase is going to list like 2 min coins per per cycle. True story, right?

Am I wrong? I don't think so. And like, why don't we just create our own degenerative like app that gets mass adoption potentially on the App Store and then allows like an on ramp to mean coins? Let me tell you, my little brother and folks like that, they're probably going to prefer prefer an app like Moon Shot than something like any other sex that makes it easy to buy like the usual suspects, you know what I mean?

Especially for getting to mania. This feels easy, like, you know, on a weekend, like you want to throw a few 100 bucks on a sports game or now, you know, like let's pull off the credit card and throw a couple 100 bucks into a mean here while I'm just sitting around on my phone. That feels easier than like actually buying crypto, you know, sending it to your wall. That's all that, right? So yeah. I wouldn't underestimate the power of like small tickets as

well. You know, like one of the reasons why Solana should have been so have done so well is because people can literally gamble with the dollar and not have to get destroyed by gas fees. So if you can get, you know, some of these tickers are quite small on market cap, right? So a few thousand people, if they're if they're all only gambling like 10 to 100 bucks, that can make a big difference to to some of these coins.

And now it's pretty easy. Every time you speak to your friends about how you've made generational wealth and they ask you how and you have to tell them about wallet set up and all that stuff. And I can say, hey, just download this app and you can do it. Like it breaks down a lot of hurdle. I think it's going to be very interesting. I'm downloading it right now. Wow, this is so I I never thought one day that I'd be downloading an app in two seconds on my phone to buy shit coins.

I mean here we are mass adoption. I mean, when you think about it, pumped up fun is probably the most used social Fi tool. They even have a news feed now like a 4U page on on on on. Did you see that? They just announced that like yesterday on pumped up. So they're like they turning into social Fi.

So, so when you think about it, if beam coins are social fly, I actually ironically that quote came from one of the biggest bears right now, Andrew Gang. Early on when he was bullish, he used to say meme coins are the social fly and I thought that was a banger. I don't know what went wrong, but maybe he fell in his head or something in the. Meantime, so it looks like we're not listed, but we're about to get listed. What? That's a live. That's some live alpha.

Right, the careless, careless coming up. I'm telling you, you have to get listed on moon shot so it doesn't take all the. Yeah, I just spoke to, I just spoke to the guy. I was I was getting him this morning. I was like, look, this is, this is. Good, are we getting breaking news? Is that breaking news? Hold on, I never get to use my breaking news button. I don't think Tyler ever heard it. This just in rug radio breaking news. Mando is spreading Epic listed on Moon shot.

Hey, that's supposed to get. Hey, hey, kiddo. We got a special appearance. We got. Look at that. She got so excited. Hi. What's your favorite meme coin? He's like Mr. Miggles. Mr. Miggles. Mr. Miggles. My dad's got a huge bag of Mr. Miggles. She's like salad. Her mom would be telling me to sell. That's a fact, daddy. Loves Mr. Amigos and Kama actually. Kama's looking good. Dude, that was a good call of yours. Tyler. Early on the show, like at least

a month ago I think. It's looking good. I'm getting a little nervous. The the chatter coming out is that Biden's not going to endorse Kamala and they're going to go an open convention route. And it's got me feeling a little

nervous, I'm not going to lie. Well, be careful because prediction shit coins are clearly not prediction markets and we've seen that with JD Vance, right like the Vance coin and and Speaking of which, I I've been very surprised at like how poorly Trump on the ETH mega coin is is performing. We've been talking about this a lot on the back end, but I think the prediction markets are going to kill the whole polyfi token thing like completely because. I definitely think so.

I I agree with that because the, the, the, the meme coins, they're very much like buy the rumor, sell the news type things and meme coins. They're not, they're not like I think people misunderstand them say, oh, shouldn't shouldn't Trump be higher? But the Trump coin isn't like a bet on option. Yeah, it's not a bet on Trump. It's a bet that people will buy this coin.

More people will buy this coin than the people who are already holding it will sell it when the information that you deem to be relevant occurs. And if you look at this Trump coin, if you look at the holders, right, there's not even that many holders of this coin. How many holders are there of this? Let's find out but one thing. That's for sure. 32,000 holders. It's definitely gone up, but it's not it's not crazy like something like Whiff has 150K,

Pepe has 250K. Like there's only 32 K holders. So there are definitely whales in this and there are people who've been in this from the beginning and selling. So, you know, it's, I'm not saying it can't go up, but there are different, Yeah. So that was my thing like I I think like I I'm seeing those and like when you think about it, like it literally retraced and is lower than the whole assassination with and I hate to put this up, but it's true.

When the assassination attempt happened, it soared 35%. It completely retraced that and it's lower than when even on that's before he went on that stage right now. Sup 300 mil. So like it's, I think it's with the riser prediction markets, like why would you buy this if you saw what happened at JD Vance and I could dump like zero, you know, Meanwhile, I'm up 35% on polymarket on Biden to to to drop out this election. So call me GCR. Thank you. That's looking like a lock.

On $100 on $100 size, mind you, I think it's important for me to to point that out. I'm only up 30% on $100.00. So you know it'll buy me maybe one coffee in LA anyways before I go to the rec brands and all that good stuff. Tyler, what is it? Was there anything else is a big, big topic headlines that I missed on? We talked about Trump and the stuff already with Bitcoin. We talked about Mr. Migos there. Anything I'm missing here?

Part of your top? I mean just maybe a little bit deeper on Polymarket, it's incredible the numbers they're doing. So they hit a new all time high at 100 million for the month of June. And yeah. You're good, you're good. Go ahead. That's. Fine. It looked like I was like, man, are they really going to double up in July? It looks like they actually might like they're already 150 million on this month and they hit a new all time high

yesterday. And I mean, yesterday was a huge day with the RNC, Trump speaking as well as all this Biden news coming out. I mean, it's an absolute circus right now. It doesn't seem like the circus is going to slow down anytime soon. So as long as it's this active and wild, Paul and Mark Great is going to to be the the big winner here. And now there's just so many markets. There's like the dim VP markets now, like one of the hottest ones and like they're, they're sharp.

You can probably market credit. They set up these lines for like which words is Trump going to say during his speech with like 15 different options. They caught almost $1,000,000 in bets on that. Yeah, they're cooking, man. They're cooking. They're very, I mean, they're funded like so well, no need for anything. They're just, they're just cooking and killing it. So good for them. Like we have a few.

There's everyone's saying there's no product that has been built on the pathway to mass adoption. This cycle is wrong, man. Between Poly markets and the stuff like pump fun and a lot of more different things like we're we're getting there. I can't wait to see the hysteria mania once Bitcoin hits 100K. That would be absolutely insane. Someone, someone was in my replies like there's an interesting concept here, like the mix of like pumped up fun

and polymarkets. So Polymarket people are calling it, it's the news. Like this is effectively news confirmed before it's actually confirmed and pumped off. I was becoming like breaking news. So like one of the fastest place news events are spreading. It's like via the tickers of these tokens launching. It's interesting to see. Is there a way to combine these in some capacity where you've got like your breaking news feed and then like your confirmed news feed via the prediction

markets? I don't know, it's like 1/2 baked idea, but there's potentially something there. I think the other trend is quickly on on this yoga thing. I don't know what it's going to be skill based wagering into the other side. So I guess it's kind of like an E gaming, like kind of gambling on the games themselves. Speaking of which, we have another banger or I don't know if you are called banger. We got another Gaga tweet.

Mando's already smiling. That's like two shows in a row that Gaga. I'll let you read this one. I got I don't know. I'm not reading this. Dude. We can really hear Mendo's kids and your daughter just came on screen. I hate reading this. So you had Finn talking. I'd like to wager on the other side men and never actually launching. How can I do that with this new platform? Step one is you know what it is? That's yeah, man, yeah, man that you muted, but that's how your

reaction. And then Sam went the going rate is $300 million now and then you have everybody saying this is the most bullish thing thing and I don't know you have Herman the rule. I think This is why people say the UX in crypto sucks or Herman actually they used to be a company building the other side. It's mixed emotions on the timeouts. Hugo saying what are the odds it launches by end of year? I don't know.

I don't you had you had UDI chime in also here because apparently Finn works for Ronan, though he's not like the guy who founded Ronan. So it's not like I don't know. But anyways, that was that was that today on CT, right. This was really it. God, man, we get a different banger every day. So look. He's not holding back anymore. He's. No, he's not tired. Of it. He's not. He's not. Gargo's done holding back. That's that's for sure. That's twice this week he's done holding up anyways.

Only the other news with when it comes to NFTS and what not REC Brands, I mean that's what you came originally to talk about today. Tell us more that there was a tweet this week. Last week, Rec Brands Inc became one of the first companies to grant shares to NFT holders. I mean, tell us what is the latest on REC Brands? What have you been up to? Yeah. Look, we announced this in January, so it's really been like about six months in the making.

But finally last week we we actually were able to grant shares equity in the company of REC Brands to RET Guy NFT holders. We did it based on the historical snapshot which we took back in October and it was a six month process of figuring out how to do it legally. How do we do it in a way that's within the framework of the SEC and the framework of other jurisdictions as well?

And, and we ended up doing it through a crowdfunding offering in the US, which results us actually using an SEC registered dealer broker to execute this offering. So yeah, it's a pretty strong legal process, but we've done it in in a way that I believe is very watertight and and very rigorous. And yeah, after a few month long process, we finally managed to complete it last week. So everyone who participated would have got their share

certificates. Everyone you know of the people that signed up, we everyone owns a little bit of the rec brands and company. And to be honest with you, we've been working a lot behind the scenes on everything, Wrecked, wreck brands, Wreck Guy, etcetera. And this is kind of like the one thing which we needed to get done before we roll other things out and launch the rest of our

plans for this year. So yeah, it's been, you know, H1 has been very much of a fun but frustrating period of like we have all these great plans, but we can't launch anything yet because we need to get this thing done and executed. And as of last week, we finally, finally completed that. There was an interesting few piece of information that came out from it. We had, I think about 800 people who ended up successfully completing the process and

getting their shares. That's of about 3500 holders. So either we have a ton of wreck guys that are in dead wallets or I'm guessing a lot of people didn't want to go through the whole KYC and doxing process in order to do this. But I thought that was an interesting data point that we had maybe like a 25% participation rate in it. Or they forgot the deadline, you know? Or they forgot the deadline. We did have a few people off the deadline. You missed it.

Like me, I am definitely one of those people. You know what's the worst habs who also works with us and with you guys reminded me and is it is it is Santa in now I I love that I'm hearing the jiggles. It sounds like Santa Claus coming. It's fine. You don't have to mute. It's actually hella cute. It's wholesome. I I like hearing kids in the background. So you guys are all like fathered up Look at that anyways, that's really cool.

So let me ask something you mentioned you work with the SEC on that. So what's the what's kind of like the process? Are they easier? Because, you know, we paint the SEC in like really, really, really bad light, rightfully so actually in this industry because they always try to fuck us. But what was the process like for you guys on the red ring

side? Yeah, it's, it's a good question and lots of people have asked this And, you know, if there are any NFT projects out there who want to do a similar thing, we're more than happy to to chat. And we had Ray Jenko on the legal side for us who was very instrumental in getting this done. But we didn't speak directly to the SEC, but there's an SEC exemption called Reg CF It's a crowdfunding exemption which allows you to have a large amount of shells in the cap

table. It allows you to raise capital without having to register with the SEC. But it has to be executed through an SEC registered dealer broker. So in doing that, we've had to go through a compliance period for ourselves for Rep brands like I myself to fill out like a bad actor check Amanda has to do the same thing. We will have to be KYC Ed. We've had to provide like state of financials for rec brands. So, so long compliance period to make sure that everyone.

You have to you have to send like a big, you have to send a big wad of cash to to Elizabeth Warren and. Her goons. Anna Goons, Yeah. One for Warren and one for Gensler.

That's that's how you. Move I mean look all that all that with money had to go somewhere I mean Obi Liddy dumped with from $5 to 155 for this so like he I'd be he better have been working on something else with that money not only that he did the same thing the mock you know it's been a long grind back up since he dumped his bags on us so I'm. Seeing still own still own them man, I'm getting. Well, I know you know this. This motherfucker's moon bag is

bigger than my whole portfolio. We get it anyways, anyway, so, so this is really exciting. So the next question, OB is like when poking, I don't know you talking, you know, working with the SEC, all that good stuff. Yeah. I mean, look, we've been, it's as I said, we don't deal directly with the SEC, but we've been through a long process to make sure we've done everything by the book and it does allow us

to do lots of different things. I think the main thing, main point I wanted to make on this really is like in 2021, we saw a ton of NFT companies raise capital, then had to provide value to their investors rather than their holders. We saw loads more NFT mints and everything kind of just like went, went to zero. And I felt like, look, NFTS at the moment are pretty dead apart from a few different projects. And you can't, we could have just left rec guys, rec guy and

whatever. But I do feel like there's a lot of potential. In rec brands, we've run some amazing events this year and obviously we have rec drinks we're working on now. So, but it's like if we go out there and do rec drinks, how does that benefit the rec guy, NFTS and the NFT holders and our supporters? Well, maybe if rec drinks become iconic, people want to own the NFT. That started the whole thing

off. But I think by giving these guys actual equity in the company, they now have an economic stake in what we're doing. And my thing has always been like, if you have to pivot, you have to pivot, but try and bring people, your supporters along for the ride. And that's what we did when we went from D Jens to rec guy. And that's what we're doing now from from rec guy to to rec

brand. And so look, if one day, if we crush this drinks thing and we sell the company to Red Bull and people will get paid out on that, right? People will get paid out on that. If we make a ton of money and we're able to pay dividends that one day, then then people will get some economic benefit for

that. So I feel like now if we raise capsule one day like people will have that will then have a valuation attached to the shares that they own and will be able to benefit in the economic upside for that as well. So I just feel like we've we're now on the same level playing field as our holders where we're all actually in this company now skin. In the. Games we all have skin in the game yeah it's not just like oh, we own the NFTS and we kind of hope the NFTS will go up on on

the sentiment. It's now we have actual skin in the game of on the in the company and did I it's pretty exciting. I think we're actually the 1st. I know the plague announced it and I think goblin town did something, but it wasn't for the main company. It was for like some art thing that had on the side, but I think we're the 1st. Like NFT project. Project to actually successfully execute this with the withholders now having share certificates and knowing how

much, how many shares they own. And this really is just the beginning of what we're doing. This is the next half of this year is going to look very different for the first half of this year for Rex. Listen I still have all these MFRS I'm that guy that never migrated my D jams and never claimed my wrecked brands equity man just laughing claims shit is like a meme at this stage on this show bro. Hundreds of thousands have been lost by the road.

Just unbelievable amounts of money from his pudgy Penguins, from all those ordinals. The the journey, the journey from that. I minted that shit. I kept all these are like cultural me too. These are cultural artifacts. I minted that shit bro, I minted that stuff. Look at this itty bitty titties and a Bob. Look at that literally that's the meme. This is like. I saw a couple this is this is one of my best. I'll send a mini. For my best ever NMT trades I I

stacked about fifty of these. No way. Below .1 and then they went to like .8 and sold a chunk on the way up that was hit quite the run. I love that. That's awesome. I mean, when you think about it, this was a great trade. It was the there were two trades that were similar timing of you guys. There was you guys in Pixel Vault early on. That was like two really good

trades at that era of NFTSI. Remember you guys were the first people to charge more than .1 E for mint just .11 by point O1 and everybody was like whoa, .11 ETH because you know, Bake had like kind of put the standard like point O 8 and before that punks for free. So it's like .11. No way. It was like outrage on the timeline. Like you remember early like no .11 ETH I'll never forget. I meant that that shit.

I meant the 10. It was like 1.1 ETH at the time and I don't think I have much ETH and I was like shit dude, these guys sound smart. They're British. They sound smarter than like average people. Let's see what they do. That's fun from comics to now giving equity out to to to holders of the thing. Oh, I love this one Look, I posted this rec two rec GM to you just posted this one that was actually slaps.

I may have to go back and buy like some really rare ones very cheap and just like collect it as an artifact. This is like this is something so Congrats guys. That's that's that's really cool. Excited to see you guys take over Red Bull Fox selling to Red Bull. We buy Red Bull right? We're definitely. Compete with that would be something if we bought Red Bull I don't know how many billions of dollars of red Red Bulls were yeah I.

Mean they spend like. Man. Year on marketing, so so so anyways.
