Transcript

Yo-yo, what up? What up? Good morning. Good morning. GMG, Wednesday, March 6th, 2024. Four, Four. Look at that. Another beautiful day to have a beautiful day. I got my clothes in the house. OSF, how you doing? Maybe. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. Interesting times. Did you survive yesterday? I don't have any leverage. So I haven't had any leverage since since December or November after.

I just like lot. Like the thing about leverage for me is like I had levered longs and I had them in like November right before, obviously right before the market ripped and I got liquidated right before massive rips. And I was just like, this is just stupid. Like I'm like, I'm not good at trading on leverage. I have the right view and I'm just losing money in it. So I just stopped taking leverage basically. Wow, that's a that's a good call. That's a good call. That's a good call.

That's a wise call that I wish I'd listened to, but I did not. But we're good. I did survive as well. I did survive as well because similar to you, I only had like one position on and it wasn't even wiped. Wiped so but but but but but but mistakes were made mistakes were made but we're still back it seems after yesterday so today on the show today today what do we got here.

Daily market report as usual you know let's talk about yesterday's we'll we'll talk a little more about yesterday's pretty insane Wick notably 40% that Wick console pretty sure that was the worst waked down since FTX in 2022 if I'm not mistaken with a billion dollars of liquidated long so but the market seems to have immediately somewhat recovered. With Bitcoin back above $66,000. ETH is just on a tear.

And so, Lana, I mean, if the FTX estate would stop selling, maybe I would be doing better, personally speaking. But it's OK. But it's OK. We'll talk about this stuff in a moment. Memes. Huge bounce back on the memes. I mean, study that right. Huge huge huge huge bounce back with whiff the hat is definitely on. Obi the hat is definitely on with Whiff flipping bonk sheep flipping those. I mean, all the meme bounced. All the meme bounced though. We'll we'll be talking about

this. We'll be talking NFTS, We'll be talking NFTS and some overall news. And last but not least, we will be joined by the new Here cast. And of course Dan Sickles, who I already see in the studio, will be joining us to talk about what you're up to. I'm a huge fan of new Here. Personally speaking.

May be part of the movie, may be part of the movie, but that's not what we're here to talk about today because we're going to be revealing the cast live on air a little later today and I'm pretty sure the cast will be joining us for their short clips. Which is super fucking cool. And again, a project that is powered by Arbitrim. So Arbitrim, Gang, Gang, Fam, fam and all that good stuff. But anyways. Anyways, Anyways, without further ado, let's get right into it.

Daily Market Report brought to you by Rogue Radio. Yeah, hey guys. So macro nothing to really add like we we're up a little bit in equities. I was one thing I would say is interest rates are rallying quite a lot, we're we're now down to 4.11% on 10 year that's something like a 20 basis point move in the last few days and that's ahead of payrolls on Friday.

So I don't know if that's because positioning in the interest rate market was short and people taking off those trades ahead of payrolls or people getting bulled up into payrolls. I don't think it's the latter given the the recent payrolls numbers we've had. But that's something just to bear in mind. In equities, Coinbase stock is just it really ripping like Coinbase is up another 6% today. My mom is balling up the $5000.

Yeah, So, so now our price of 230 and that I think hit lows about 40 or $50, you know just last year possibly Even so when we had all. The SECSEC stuff, $33. $33 like that mental that's almost a 10X on Coinbase since since last year for an equity so it was just pretty insane and we're obviously used to that in in in crypto. So yeah that's everything on macro we just have payrolls on Friday which is going to be the main thing crypto.

I mean look we we touched, we were just short of all time highs yesterday on on Bitcoin and then we just had this massive, like we had this with multiple nukes. Yesterday we had one massive nuke after that, which I think was during our show and then we had the the absolutely like killer nuke. Afterwards when I was off, I was

actually off the desk. I was out playing football and I came back and just like what the hell Like the timeline was in tears but the prices were the same and I was like I was like what's everyone complaining about it what the hell happened? And then I looked at the charts. I just was like massive like hammer candle basically of like this like big red Wick down and you know it completely bouncing back. But yeah look I just think it's really a case of funding was

extremely high. It is just so easy for a Bitcoin whale to come in and just dump a little Bitcoin and force which they did force force those liquidations buy back and do it in huge size where they make a shit load of money. So that's what happened. I think that's going to continue to happen if funding gets out of control and you can see like it funding eased up, you know, from your funding heat map. Now it eased up right after and then it started to like tick

back up again. And actually looks like it's a little bit better than it was when I checked this morning. But it's just going to be this is what you're going to get in this market. You're going to get because so many people are taking leverage. You know, I'm not talking about us, but I'm talking about just newcomers into this market who don't know anything about funding rates, don't know anything about how this market works. We'll be like, Oh yeah, I can like 5X long Bitcoin.

Let me just do that. And you're going to get like you're going to get an increase in funding rates as a result as a consequence of an influx of the retail market because people will be doing it without really knowing the implications. And so I think we're going to continue to see these kinds of moves where we'll go higher, we'll keep the long term trend is going to be higher, but you'll get these violent candles

down. And honestly, the easiest way to predict that opposition for it is just to look at this funding rate heat map and look at when funding goes high and when it gets north of 100% on Bitcoin, that's when you know there's there's something on the horizon. There's going to be a bit big Red Wick down. And if you're just in spot, it doesn't really matter, Like you just have to like, you know, hold your hold your own when when it drops down, Yeah, or even buy those dips.

But on leverage, it's like when funding gets high, take leverage off when it's all cleared and reset, maybe you can put leverage back on again and then, you know, stay away from when funding is high. And I think that's the, you know, that's really the move here. But it's tough because you know, sometimes funding is high and things keep going higher. But then you're just kind of like, you know, walking this tightrope where it's like you

just fall over at any moment. I think that's what happened. And you know, today really ETH has been the strong performer out of all of this, like ETH. BTC is back up to 0.057, having dropped to 0.053. I think recently Solana is really struggling, man. Like Solana is that like, so salt Ether is at 0.033, which I think is the lowest it's been in almost six months now and I just think there's probably VC tokens that are unlocking like every day or every. Week No if the FTS is FTS estate.

FTX stuff too. They're selling, they're selling and they're just selling it. Just yeah, and. You know what's the worst? They're selling at 1:30 and paying people back at 16. Horrible. Yeah, it's mental, right? Mental. I do. I do think Solana has a really good long hair because I think it's underperformed quite a lot. And Seoul? What Seoul feels like now is what ETH felt like in November and December. When it keeps covering the 2000s.

Yeah, exactly. It just, it just wouldn't move and every time it would rally, it would get Seoul back down and everyone would be just frustrated. Eventually that cell pressure will clear and I think Seoul can do really well. And compared to ETH, I think Seoul is something that can really be a three to 5X from here this cycle. I think. I think that's not crazy for for Seoul.

Some people maybe even say it can be a 10X, which I think is also not like crazy crazy if you have a real, real bull market. So risk reward, I actually really, really like Seoul here. But you're not going to get instant gratification. It's not going to go up to, it's not going to just correct today, tomorrow, maybe even not next week or next month.

But there will be a time where it will just start charging ahead just like how ETH is now and you want to have be positioned for it ahead of that I think. And the meme coins like whiff got listed by Binance yesterday. It was a sell the IT was a sell the news until. Until. Yeah, until Asia walked in and and it's now sitting at north of a $2 billion market cap. I think yesterday the Binance listing was a point where lots of people want that was their target to sell and people just

sold. I mean I took off most of my position yesterday. I still have still have some on but I was like my thing was like if it gets to a billion dollars I'll sell and I'll if it gets to I'll sell some and as soon as it gets listed by buying I'll sell some And I it got listed and I and I sold and I obviously I should have waited a little bit but. But yeah, right. Because like at the same time by the way you have dog whiff coin

like clapping clapping. Yeah. On on stage right now they they dog whiff hat right now was like just clapping the smashing the clap emoji. I think we should we should stop pause on this and study this for a second. Right. You had a plan. You stuck to it. I had a plan that was exactly, you know, like I got into this thing obviously very cheap, so I had massive, massive gains. And for me, I was like, the worst thing would be if I just didn't sell it and it went a lot lower.

I was like. You've done that before. We've done it before. Yeah. Well, at this point it was for me. For me it was like, it's not really about whether it goes higher or not. It's just like I've made a lot of money on this. I want to like take some profits. And so I did. I was like, OK, by that testing, I'm going to going to reduce some. And so I did. And but you know, by the mistake I made last bull market was not leaving moon bags, not leaving positions on.

And originally when I minced all those apes, I sold all of them. I should have kept some. And so I kept, you know, I've kept, I still have a million tokens. So I kept. I still have quite a large position in it. Yeah. I love how that's like my moon bag. It's a $2,000,000 moon bag. Yeah, it's so like. It's wild, isn't it? I like. I just like. It's a free bag, right? At this stage, you're very deep in profit.

Yeah, yeah. It's it's just like, I've just forgotten what the numbers are now because I'm just like whatever, You're just not thinking about it and like playing with these numbers and then you're just like, yeah, this is my, this is a moon bag. And it's like, this is the last 25% of my position. It's just this moon bag. It's like, oh wait, it's like a $2,000,000 moon bag.

But I want to, I want to hold on to that for a while because I just think you know there's some possibility we see like doge and ship kind of stuff and this market gets crazy and you know I'm going to write it for that. But you know you had, you had other things pump as well. You had you know Myro I think had a finance futures listing and was moving on. That morgue is at all time highs right now. It's fast approaching 500 million.

So we had a lot of weakness in meme coins in the last two days or so, and now they're just taking another leg higher, which is like pretty bullish, like it kind of makes you think for any meme coin connoisseur like ourselves in the last two. Years. I love that. Well, you have a mean coin season and everything you have like a blow off top kind of thing and then everything just sells off and then it's just dead for ages and it felt like we were at risk of that two days ago.

So to then see things come back even stronger after that, I think it's pretty bullish. So we'll see, I don't know we'll see. Well, I think it's, I think you know what, we had Susie on Rec radio today. And so let's talk about that. What, what do you say? I watched the hotel. It was great. Something really interesting because like I've always been like well, if you make loads of money you should take profits and you know take profits on the way and all that kind of stuff.

And which I still think you should do. But he he provided a different perspective which was like which I think holds true for many of these meme coins that are doing well now. Which is like you know if you were lucky enough or fortunate enough to buy something where you could get like a big position in it for very cheaply. And that thing really starts to take off and become a big token.

And you shouldn't sell any. You should, you should ride it because it becomes very difficult to have that much size in it and re enter that trade. And that hit home for me about, you know, on stuff like dot, like WIF and and MOG and all this stuff that was like super, super cheap a few a few weeks

ago. And you could get like, you know, if people were able to buy like millions of dollars of, you know, millions of WIF tokens, for example, for just a few 100 bucks or a few 1000 bucks, Which is like a generational opportunity. But if you sell too early and you get to this point, then you don't really have much left.

But if you just ride that thing, then suddenly you just have like a plethora of tokens that are very hard to access for in a token that, you know, like something, some of these coins now are going to be doing really well throughout this pool. So I thought that was an interesting take and kind of made me regret some of my sales, I think. But whatever you can't, you're always going to have some regrets. You're never going to be able to time it. Perfectly.

I think it's hard to have any regrets holding back a million WIF tokens that you are pretty much got for free at this stage. I have to say like we we have to recognize the trade was gorgeous. Like when you tweeted. When you tweet text in the chat in December saying you I dubbed my 2 for dances to weave bids for with corn. Dude, I'll never forget I remember following you into the trade I bought. So that's when I sold $100,000

worth of another token. What I did is I put 25 K into like a an Angel which is now like pretty much like 30X, which is awesome, but you won't get it until it's like you know back. So it's going to take a year, so that doesn't count. But the rest of the 75 Ki tailed you and I put into WIF and at the time was like I was like 75 K at 75 mils. So it was like I had like I remember it was like 992,000

tokens or something like that. So I I slowly got like 2,000,000 tokens and like 5 days later I was up to 100K. So I sold it, right? Naturally, I'm like, yo, I made 200 grand in five days, right. You know bear market PT. Like do you realize like only in the space am I like fuck I made 200K. Do you know what I mean? Like it it's it's actually mental. And so here I am with my with my bag and bear market PTSD still and I'm like dude like surely this can't keep going up.

Like I'm like I I made money like I've lost so much money trying to leverage trade in bear market this and that. So I do that, you know, but in and out again. So you know, I wasn't like fully out then was in out the whole ride and now here I am like like no corner, but obviously bags and like other memes that are doing really well, but like full on supporting the cause. Like I want to see this going to $10. Like I want to see this going

like $40 old Shiba thing. Like I will support this dog with a hat. I will keep my hat on as long as this dog exists whether I have the corner or not because I think it's good for the space. Like I know some people want to say crazy things about meme coins and shit but like like retail comes in through Coinbase finance, all this stuff. Like they buy this stuff 1st and then they get into the space then they make a little money or not and they get to see the

other stuff. But I I I'm a fan dude. I I love that. I know a lot of people around me that that made a lot of money whether it's a little bit of money or a lot of money. Like it's just it's just good. Like what you know, I I I just wonder like will the dog keep its hat on at 6.9 dollars? Absolutely. Absolutely. I think you know like I said the mistake I made in 2021 was not riding my winners long enough and I think I think the the the solution and I've I've go back

and forth. It's like do you want to take profits or I want to like ride it or blah blah. I think what you need to do really is you need to like when you're up big you just need to take some profits and get your principal back and maybe even more cash it out and then what you have left. I think you really have to be like, OK, I'm just going to ride this thing because who knows how crazy things can get in the cycle.

And you know, like in 2021, Doge went up 10, you know, Doge had a Ted X when it was already at whatever, like 2 billion or $3 billion market cap, something crazy like that. Or or maybe it was shape or maybe it was both. I can't remember. I'm reading all these stats, right. So you do have this potential

for like crazy, crazy moves. And I think this cycle because like people made so much money on meme coins last cycle and because people made money on Pepe last year, I think the idea of like getting involved in meme coins is not as stupid as it was before. And I think it attracts more sophisticated capital and perhaps even institutional

capital. So I think you're we're going to run it back with some crazy meme coin levels and and market caps again this year and I just don't think we've seen it yet. I think we're still very early to it. So you know, for people who are up big, I think take some off so you don't feel bad if you round trip because you already take, you know, monetize some, but you know really leaves some on because who the fuck knows where some of this shit can get to.

And I think if something tells me like deep down, it tells me we're in for some, like really crazy price action. And I'm just trying to get it's hard, it's really hard to hold on sometimes, but I think you just got to hold on and ride it. It's going to get silly. It's going to get silly. I think this is really good advice. And that's why I kind of wanted to double down on your Like

Whiff story. Because people see the numbers, see this and that, but they don't sound like the hardest part is actually holding them with conviction. Like I'll just say here, like my biggest conviction. Hold has been long all along. I think it's public at this stage, and I and I did it from a public quality, for what it's worth. But I bought like I bought it. I was going back to my transaction today. I think it was July 20 or August something I forgot.

I I got to find a Texan again but it's like it was then and then just held it because I was like fuck it, it's down and it was like 8 months of the same thing. So I was like and these guys are like everywhere and every car is like fuck it, I'm gonna hold this thing and now it's worth like almost half $1,000,000. So like I can't wait. I I I hope so, right. I'm hoping now that I don't become this bag holder that round trips again because I've done it a lot. Y'all I've round tripped a lot

of shit. But like you know like this thing keeps going and it gets silly then you know it it's gonna get it's it's gonna be it's gonna be pretty crazy so I'm excited anyways. Anyways Matt I don't know what we're doing today but there's 800 plus people watching us live on air OV at the moment and 300 plus on spaces. So we are very back. Remember what did I say two days ago I was talking to over and the boys I was like guys study media numbers. Like study media numbers.

That's how you start seeing things. We're pretty much hitting all time highs in numbers every day here and I absolutely love to see that. Listen, on the market side, honestly we don't have Mando to do the more like in depth type of things about majors and stuff. But you know, we're looking good. We're looking good. Total market cap for crypto is still under 2 1/2 trillion dollars. So we have a solid 4X to go from

there. Ovi, question for you, when do you think we start seeing like alts moving again? Like it seems like it's a little stuck here, like all the money's going into memes, majors kind of like, you know, sticking to their guns here like eat Bitcoin soul. Like what what what do you guys think here? Like what do you what do you guys, I'm used to think you guys what do you what do you think like we start seeing some alts

move again. I saw Pentoshi tweet about this morning saying like like what we're about to see on alts is probably going to be like massive. Like what? When do you think that that machine starts rolling again? I think it's going to be if the ETF gets approved in May May. But yeah, this is the crazy thing because like alts are already up a lot in the last few months. You know some things are up. Five to 10X mean coins are up, 10s of XS, maybe even 100X in

some cases. But Bitcoin dominance is still 54% and the total 3 chart whatever is still like way off. You know where where it has been. So I mean at the risk of sounding too bullish and too aggressive, there is a scenario where ETF gets approved in May, Bitcoin dominance falls below 50% because it creates a big ETA rally and we see alts, you know do multiples of of where they

are from now. And that's the big, I think that's now like the big opportunity here like if that happens that could be a very good trade. It's, you know, this is for me the reason why For me it's just like holding something like spot soul or you know, maybe some other L ones like say or whatever even like somewhat injective, you know, holding some of that stuff.

You could still be in for like 5 or 10X trades and you can kind of just like hold them without having to really do anything as opposed to like trying to get the quick money on leverage. And I think that's the big I I think that's a big opportunity

set from here. I I really do and I still don't know if the ETCF will get approved or not but what I do believe is if it does get approved we're going to see a big big big move in alts I think and we we're not at levels where we were last cycle for alts yet we're we're we're really not like all the gaming stuff is well off all their highs right like still multiples off. So I'm I'm I'm pretty bullish

on, on that standpoint. I'm just very cautious of funding and these this volatility we'll have. But I think it's like volatility upwards I think and in a way it's good volatility for you know if if funding keeps getting, if leather positions keep getting wiped out like every other day that's pretty good because it just means positioning is constantly being cleaned.

If you have this big build up of leverage leather positions over weeks and weeks and weeks and it doesn't get wiped out and that's pretty bad because that could cause a serious crash. So I think this regular big down Wick every two or three days or so, maybe even multiple times a day is actually a really healthy thing for the market because it keeps resetting positioning at a frequent pace, which I think is good. I think it allows us to keep going higher.

Yeah, it's it's going to get silly real quick. I mean, the first person, Tommy Sell, may go away. This man. I'm slapping them across the face, let me tell you that. So it's not, I mean, it's not going to be a salamander away if he gets approved, I'll tell. You that right? Yeah. But if it does, then maybe we do go away. Yeah, If it doesn't, then yeah, we're all we're all going to fuck off. Maybe this time around, because last year we didn't do it, and it was.

It was made in November sucked and like, made October ish. Remember, Like that whole like summer last year really sucked because it was like dragging. Like everything was just chopping sideways, sideways, sideways. We're all waiting for the next leg up. Next leg up. Anyways, hey, can we get to 1000 live viewers on video? Y'all, let's get some retweets. Let's follow. Formal hour. Appreciate you all watching us live. Hang tight. We're not done just yet with

y'all. We have some amazing guests coming on in a tiny tiny bit. It's going to be a lot of fun on this station to unveil the cast for new here, which is. Honestly, sick initiative. I'm a big fan of it. But anyways, let's talk, let's talk, should we talk? I mean, look, I think we've done the rounds right in terms of like D5, look, Bitcoin ETFs are still ripping, everything's

good. The one story yesterday about Bitcoin though quickly that you were talking about about like people buying, like selling it. At the highs there is a minor OV. There's somebody that mined 1000 Bitcoin and that sold it all exactly at $69,000, which means that he pretty much went from 0 to $69,000,000 in 14 years. Mental. How insane is that? There was a transaction showing that there was famous screenshots going around and I'll find it put on the screen.

But basically that person, that person literally like mined Bitcoin in 2010 and sold at the top. My only question is like, we're not going to sell shame someone who turned nothing to 70 mil. But why? It's 69 K Couldn't you let it hit 70 K? What would you have done? Would you have? It's like, will we even have held this long? That's the next level, Diamond hair. You have to like to be able to hold things for a long time.

You either have to, like, already be rich where that extra money doesn't mean anything to you, or you just have to be not care about the money. Or you just have to be like, just fucking mental, really. Dude mental mental it's it's absolutely crazy man. We've I I have to say I'm pretty hype right now it's hard for me for to hide it there's 1000 people watching on some video like like and that's without the

spaces. So I I I got to say like I'm pretty hype for this right now and and it feels really cool because like we've been streaming video through the entire bear market. This is like the 600th episode. I know this is episode 73 but we had like 2 iteration of the show before so we're over 600 deep. I wish Mando was with us right now to cherish this moment but it's pretty fire. It's pretty fire to. I sent them a screenshot. I was like what's going on? I'm like I have no idea.

We're just cooking but you know maybe people excited about with maybe people excited about new here. Maybe people are excited about the market again OV but but it's a it's a pretty cool signal and I love to see that we stream live every single day. I'm going to chill out one more time because we really work hard on this here on YouTube, Rock Radio and on on X. We always post a broadcast every single Monday to Friday at 10:30 AM Eastern Standard Time.

And it's always bangers, that's for sure. If you were there in December, you would have heard OV ape into whiff. You could have become a whiff millionaire if you were there with us in December. Obviously playing here, but this is really hype and exciting moment. Anyways, before I go on to our awesome guests and really good friends of mine, let's maybe quickly glance over what's happening in NFTS. Obviously not as exciting at the moment, always like that.

So if you go to digens, digens of finance, again, something really cool that OVA Mandel's built with their team and and let's just go here and look at how we're looking. It's not looking great, that's for sure. I saw Skull of Lucy trade yesterday. Obi, it's good for you there. Yeah, I saw that 70 ETH pretty good with the ETH valley. Yeah, fellow crypto punk ended up buying and his punk is pretty cool. It's like a wild white hair with like clown nose.

I thought it was pretty fun so that was cool. So I saw Skull of Lucy trading another fedenza. Trade punks are just they're just trading. Like it's just it keeps on trading with the crypto. I mean man, with ETH being so high, I'm only assuming crypto punk floors just like keeps on rising in dollar terms right? Like we must be wow $211,000 right now for floor crypto punk. Pretty wild to see this price at the moment, do you think? Do you think we see a million dollar floor crypto punk this

cycle? Yeah, I do. I do. I do too. I do believe, Yeah, I do believe. So I think we, I think we will. There's some nice punks on the floor, man. Like the that 4th last one is a really nice one. Fun, yeah. Yeah, she's clean. She's very clean. This one's clean too, with the That one's really clean. I don't usually like clown eyes as much, but clown eyes with the makeup and the blonde hair up, it's nice. There's a lot of this one's great.

Sad thing is, it's a 5 trait, but the earring is hidden. I don't really like that. So it's actually like there is an earring on this punk you see, but it just doesn't show here. So it's hidden trait, which some people like. That's my old punk. Look at that for Oak punk. Well, that's my buddy right there. I sold him for 110 Eighth though back then. Look at that. Not bad, huh? Maybe, but that was to upgrade to new punk. So we spent the whole amount, if I could tell you one and then

some. Also, what happened on Punk's yesterday? Did you see Alexander Arno trolling us? Possibly in the worst time, Paul. Oh, you didn't. You were at football? I missed it, yeah. What happened? What happened yesterday? Is that Alex? Oh, it's not even there anymore. Oh, it's here. So Alexander Arnault, you know, CEO of Tiffany and Co and also son of billionaire, you know, one of the richest men on earth, Bernard Arnault changed his PFP to the alien punk 3100 and then put GM.

So everybody immediately was like, let's go, let's go. He bought the punk 2 seconds later he goes. Too many rumors. So I had to make a joke. Not only proposed, but close Congrats to the new owner of Punk 3100. It's not me. Hit me up for Tiffany and Copenant. But The thing is, he made that joke during the 40% crash on Seoul and like that $10,000 went down on Bitcoin. So it's probably like the worst time joke in the history of like

jokes on CT Yeah, it was wild. And then Flamingo Dao made the same joke. But the thing that they don't understand, and I want all 1200 listeners live on video to know this Ovi actually bought that punch. I'd say because it's because everyone, even the son of the richest man on earth is larping as an alien punk when my Co host literally bought the punk. So like so to me like that's just signals. Like that's just signals that I'm looking at study that, study that literally you have.

You know host opinions are their own. So I love, I love I love Sam's. He's so quick with the Proms. I just want everybody to know that's my Co host. He got the alien punk. OK OK so so there's only one there's only one punk 3100 and it and it and it's in the wallet of my Co host we and we have it. Anyways back to Digense. Look I'd say boarding floods once again hitting all time

highs overall. Like I saw some tweets about like the floor of all their collections and whatnot this is normal which for us going down like you know all this conversation started rising was the first time that we saw mutant Cell under mint price OV rare rare like since MIT and that was like what, a couple years ago on or three ETH. So Mutants are selling 280. You have board apes selling at 18 ETH. But with ETH being so high I mean you're still looking at $70,000 per JPEG.

So you know sometimes it's good to play devil's advocate and see it the other way though you know 150 high to 18 ETH flow here is not great of course for you know overall the only collection that's clearly up is milady OV. I have to say, like with all these coins, like the meme coins going up, I don't want to see a world where like my ladies can't go like just parabolic once people start taking profits like let's be. Honest. Yeah. It just feels like a lot of it feels like some capital rolls

into my ladies. I. Think, tell me all these, like, Mog dogs and like, yeah, hey Bros and you know, like all these people are not going to go in. Like, you know what I mean? Like the whole Remilio movement, like this thing is just going to go in bonkers. I still have my one. It's still vaulted. That's my son or daughter. It depends how you see it. But it's a it's a really nice one and I really like it. It's got a little Chrome hearts hat. It's fire.

It was my girlfriend's PFP for quite a while And then anyways, punks look pudgy Penguins, you know little listen. Overall E retracing all across the board. It's time for pandas being up on the day finances selling. I have a question for you. I saw these retweet something earlier saying that surely this has to be like it can't get worse on the art side. You're reckoning we're bottoming

here on the art side. This is one of the only first times ever where there's zero concurrent auctions on Superware today. Yeah, it's, I mean it's a tough one. It's a tough one for the art market because what we saw in 2021 was people buying art in order to speculate on NFTS and speculate on an asset class. And that speculation just changed a lot.

Like, you know, it changed from something that wasn't so liquid to something that was a lot more liquid and people moved away from it. And I think it's a, it's a bit of like a sad one because it brought a lot of artists. Well, it brought a lot of artists into the space. And now I was like, you know, where the fuck has that money gone? Where's, where's that capital gone? Like, will we ever get that back? I think things will come back.

I think. I think people want to you know, when you do really well, you want to go out there and buy something to like flex or treat yourself or whatever it is. But when it comes back, I'm not really sure. And you know the one one of one art now really is like you the only people who buy it are people who like art. Like no one buys it to speculate. And you, you just don't have that market anymore and maybe it

comes back. I don't know like if if you start getting some big sales and people making some some good flips then it will come back. But people just don't really buy art to flip anymore in NFTS. I don't think like maybe on generative art, but like very rarely on one of one art. So yeah, it's just a it's a challenge market. I hope it's in a market that comes back because it was one of the most global markets, but. It'll be back. It'll be back. Art list forever.

You know, it's one of those things. It's not like art or crypto art or NFT or whatever. It's art, right? So it's not like art is dead overnight. This is the real thing thing about artists. Before there was NFTS, there was artists, you know, and they'll find a way, you know, that's

the, that's the. I feel like it's like a class of people that like no matter what will always at least try to find a way to like make it. Speaking of which I'm about to bring, I hope y'all ready Dad, Bruce and Hannah. I see y'all in the studio. I'm about to bring some fire artists up here. But you know, it's it's a class of people that you know, just just don't fucking stop. And that's something, you know, that should be recognized on the

Solana NFT side. Listen, same, same as yesterday. I'm not going to go over it too much. Mad lad's up and that's it. Obviously it's not like that's that. It's not like NFTS are dead, right? So it's just like coins are just ripping too much. And if you're a newcomer to space and if you're a D Gen. what are you going to buy an NFT here when it's stagnant or you're going to try and like thousand X on the coin? Like you got to study the

mentality of like retail, right? And that's just how it works and there's nothing you can do about it. But that is not the case for ordinals, which is just like the counter example of absolutely everything that I just said. Ordinals just keep on ripping and ripping and ripping and ripping higher. One fun side I noticed on Quantum Cats is that the listings went down by like 70%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there was like there was a moment in time where like there was like 600 quantum casts

listed. And that's a lot because like there's only 3000 of them. You're down to like, and I'll tell you right now, 284 out of out of two point 4K owners and 3.3 K supply. So not bad, not bad at .4 Bitcoin. So for anybody who minted that, congratulations. And yeah, the rest of the ordinals doing good little drawdown on puppets. But besides that, you know, ordinals are doing really,

really, really good. I mean I saw some other stuff meant today and people were like sharing it on the timeline, bunch of honoraries flying around. So you absolutely love to see that. But anyways, anyways, this is a good, this is, this is a good round up and I think we're good there. And the other thing last thing is Frantech is back, but we'll talk about this maybe tomorrow when we have more time.

But it seems like points are selling for a lot of money on secondary markets like I saw points going for as much as $10 per point OV. So it's it's it's crazy. In case you didn't know we we got to run the Frantech meta back. So let's go that's that's another thing that is that that seems to be doing extremely well. Anyways, and without further ado, let me welcome to the stage Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Our special guest of the day, fellow Arbitrum.

Enjoy yours. NFT enjoyers, Crypto enjoyers. What's up, Dad? Hunter Bruce. The new Here crew. What's up y'all? Yo. This is real this. Is real this? Is so real, man. Is this you guys are finally coming on the show like yo, we're. Finally here we finally made it. That's insane. That is wild. So TLDR but then obviously, well I'm going to pass it to you Dan and team to like kind of like you know intro intro all this

for us here. You know what's new here, what you guys are doing, what are we unveiling today because it's it's really exciting. But I met Dan because every single person and their mothers kept telling me about, yo-yo, you should connect with this dance sickles guy. Yeah, you should connect with this dance. I'm not even making this up. Like because you're a fellow punk. So it's like a part of the punk community. Like everyone's like, yo, like

this dance. Sickles is crazy, crazy movie about Webster and Crypto. Obviously I heard about the Sundance stuff. Insane. I can't wait to like, this is actually a really big deal, like, movie wise. You know, they're probably not going to prop themselves up. Like, I will prop them up. But let me tell you guys, this is a big deal. And then, and I mean that. And so and point being, they're like, yo, you should connect with this guy.

You should be in the movie, You should connect with this guy. You should try like they're making a most fire movie about Krypton Web three over the last three years. And I know you guys have a lot of content, so I'll let you guys

go and explain. But I met them finally at the Beeple Studios, opening for the grand opening of The Beeple Studios, when I had the chance to work with Hana and Bruce there in person, they mic me up and I was the person that you'll see at some .1 day in the movie that went to People studios, interviewed people and it kind of like the People Studios opening through my lens. Extra points. I was lit by the end. So it was so much fun and so and

it was super cool. So when Dan, Dan reached out and said that, yo, we're doing this cool thing, we're unveiling the cast for the short clips first as NFTS. And it was like, yo, it's on Arbiter. And I was like, yo, dude, come on, come on. We got to we got to finally cook together. Let's find a time. And then I know you guys were part of the Shake Shack Arbitrum activation Denver just last week, which I heard really great things of and about.

And then now we have this. So then hope that was not too much hype for you, you know, but you know, you're a big movie guy, you're a big behind the scenes guy producer. So you know, I kind of had to like, do that. But then no. I appreciate it. I appreciate it, man. No, you did, you did great. You did great. And you know, I mean like you said, we've been following the space for, for three years now.

And I mean like one place to start is like, you know, we, we have been sort of watching from the wings and you know, like I've been listening to this show since you had that early theme song. What was it like? Like it's a beautiful. Day. Have a beautiful day. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So I mean like we, you know we we've been sort of watching this, this space grow up over the past few years and it's just been it's been remarkable to

see. I mean OSF, we were watching you boxing like only a few weeks ago. Congratulations on the alien punk. But yeah, you know, it's it's been a, it's been a tornado, as you guys know, you know, and it's it's been, it's been like something that's been unbelievable for us to capture. And you know, we're working on a film. It's an epic film that that will be rounded out this summer is when we're going to be finishing the feature film.

But you know, as with everything in crypto, we didn't want to stop with one big sort of commitment. We wanted to make more media. So we are launching a series of short films that will be premiering in April. And basically they're profiling like some of the best thinkers and voices and creators in the space.

But more than that, like, they're also videos that, like, we're really hoping that you can sort of pass to people that, you know, that might not understand what's going on here, you know? So we're really working to sort of create media and content that that's sort of acting as a shorthand, you know, so you can send to mom and be like, yo, this is Snow Fro talking about generative art. This is this is how he breaks it down and and that you can share this library in this way.

So that's something that we're starting to build in the lead up to this feature and if you head to Glimpses dot Art right now you can actually check out a drop that that's paired with these premieres. We basically developed this really cool mechanic where one token corresponds to one film to 1 short film that will start premiering in April. And as you watch that film, once you finish the actual token will evolve, the art on the token will evolve and there's multiple

steps to that. We don't want to give away too much of the surprise, but basically yeah, it it will continue to evolve as you interact with new year content. So if you head to Glimpses dot Art, it's actually a free mint. We're we're really trying to on board new people into the space and show how we can use blockchain technology to to sort of you know activate and experience new media coming out coming out of the space. Hell yeah. Look at the Is that. Oh, you guys have reach as a

partner too. Love that. Oh yeah. Yeah, we love the reach, boys. That's fam. I've heard of this media brand before. Let's go. We got Ralph Paul with real vision. That's so cool. You guys have all like lady this all fam Avastars, shout Jimmy Bright moments. You got Seth obviously the crypto rock radio. That's us. You got reached. That's Fam Mocha Accelerate Art. That's so cool. Zora the. Whip. Drizzle. Yeah, man. For Garden Ruins, Dude, that's like, literally like a family

affair right there. No, it's great. It's great. And I mean like we really want to be showing off the best of who's working in the space too. Like that's something that New Year's very much all about. We want to be a place that people can land and sort of be like, hey, where do I find great info? Where do I like check out the good podcast that are happening every day and we can sort of direct them to places that we know and love. Dude, this is this is this is

really, really, really cool. So let's talk about let's let's pull the curtain back a time. Yeah. Let's pull the curtain back a tiny bit then I definitely want to. I need to hear from my girl Hanna, and I need to hear from my boy Bruce as well. Do you want to explain a little bit of what new here is first? Like, let's let's like, 'cause I I did the whole hype thing, I know the movies for later. We're here to talk about the

short stuff, OK? But give us a little, like, come on, explain to us what you've been cooking and you hear because it's really cool. Like, this is one of the coolest things. I think it's happening. The NFT side art side of like the the space. Anyone. Anyone of you sorry, open-ended questions or hard with those 3 guests?

OK, so here's what I'll say. First, I think people hear a documentary that Dan, our team is working on a documentary, and they have the wrong idea about what the heck this is that they're about to get. This movie is going to be the best damn Internet movie that we've ever seen.

That is our aspiration. That's what we're trying to build and what that feels like a little bit like, as in Wonderland goes to the metaverse, the the way that this film comes together is from the point of view of a fictional scripted character named Rookie, and they have magical sort of chance encounter that leads them down the crypto rabbit hole.

They're a pizza delivery driver in the real world and their computer sort of takes on this living, breathing metaverse quality that becomes a very, very immersive journey into this story of of an ensemble of artists. We have filmed with 100 artists over the course of 2 1/2 years and and in that metaverse we tell the history of this spade where it's going so that all sort of like looked like some of the stuff that you see a little bit in glimpses.

We built these 3D virtual worlds where this history unfolds and other to Bruce to add anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's how you broke. No. Oh, Hannah. Oh, she's back. OK, cool. Go ahead, Bruce. Oh, yeah. No, no. I just, yeah, real quick. I said my photographer, like on the film, what I'm deeply honoured by is like the the artist. The artist, sorry, the artistic collaboration we've had with the subjects in our film.

You know we've really been exploring different aesthetics like for example I've I've really delved deep into AI filmmaking with one of our subjects Sarah Silver like she has been really pushing the limit of what we can explore technologically visually aesthetically and and what we've learned through the collaboration.

I think it's it's really like making the film so unique and deep and also on the other side of that we're collaborating with someone like C3 you know who's who's like visuals are so minimal and stunning and and we've been trying to represent that in the movie too. So like we're we're really trying to like capture the aesthetics and styles of of the artists and such as in our film in a way that is, yeah, fun and empowering. It is fun.

You're coming from someone who was you know that that you know boots on the ground with y'all let me tell you you know being in Charleston with you guys was was was hell of fun. I need to bring back those clips or something because that was that was really. Yeah. We can get them. We can get them for you for sure. That was, I just can't wait, like one movie, 11 movie, you know? Soon, right. It's yeah, it's looking like it's looking like fall or winter.

Yeah, of course. I mean, multiple, homie. That's how that's how it works. You just, you just sign up for them. Yeah, no, but fall, winter will be like the official premiere. You know, like you you finish an independent film and then you sort of like figure out where to place it, what festival is going to host it best and that that'll be like the next steps for us once this is finished. Hell yeah, I absolutely love to hear that. Anyways, today we're here to talk about something different.

I will different. Well, that kind of pertains to it, but kind of different. So let's talk about what Y'all doing. Obviously Arbitrums involved 11 short films, all releasing, releasing, profiling, 11 of the most brilliant, audacious and boundary pushing. I read your words artists cheat code just read what what the what the actual people behind it.

Right. But artists in the space, in the world, honestly in this industry and so we're here to avail that the left, the cast members do you want me to put a video like how we doing this? Are we doing this? Yeah, you you can pull up the page, go to go to glimpses dot art. You'll actually be able to see each glimpse on there. So where do I go? Like do I go? Claim now? Actually, that'll pick up the Zora site where all of them are hosted. There you go. There you go. There you go.

Each of these tokens corresponds to an episode that we'll be releasing starting in the spring. Let's start with the bottom Let's go all the way to Glimpse. Number one, let's go to bottom right there. This one there. We go. Let's hit it. Let's see this. So how does this work? Talk to me more about it. So essentially, as you watch the video once, the video premieres for glimpse #1, which will correspond to the first episode. Once you finish watching that, this visual will actually morph.

And there may or may not be several stages to how the actual token evolves, but it will depend on you interacting actually with the content. Is that enough? Is that enough or still too cryptic? It's cryptic. It's cryptic, It's cryptic, but the visuals will change. It will be. It will be revealing more and more about the actual episode itself. OK, OK, this is fun.

This is a lot of, you know, it's funny like when I was in Paris this time around someone came and asked me about what's the like, have you ever seen like any like film or like movie Web 3 endeavors and such? And so like, there's definitely a lot of interest into that. But I don't think we've seen like yet like the wand that's gonna that has pierced through really into like into into into Web two. What do you think it's going to take for like Film 3 to really

take off here? I mean I think that like, you know, messing around with different mechanics and like how you can use blockchain to like actually create new audience experiences. I think that that's going to bring a whole new wave of people to to this tech and these

ecosystems, right? So like this is a simple mechanic here that like took us a few months to actually develop in house whereby there's an Oracle that essentially tells when you've finished watching a video and that will tell your token then to shift in terms of the visual. So I think that like this is just a simple use case that could be applied in any number of ways, say when you finish watching or listening to a podcast for example.

But there's all these different ways of changing the metadata within the token layer when you interact with different layers of the web, and that's really what we're building towards. OK, OK, I freaking love that. And super cool. So are we going to unveil these artists? Let's do it. Let's do it, homie. Do you want me to do it? Are we doing it? Do you You got the list? You have the list in front of you. I have it.

You have the list. We also have a video which, well, how do you want to go about it? Let's let's roll the video. Right, there is no sound on the video though. And also keep in mind, we have 1500 people watching us on video, but we also have 400 people listening to us live on audio. So we're going to have to translate it to audio for the people in the back that are just listening. So. Mr. Dancing I'm going to give this one to you because this is this is your moment all.

Right, here we go. New here. Short films, everybody. The official cast announcement, Let's start actually with #11 is Claire Silver Claire's one of the inspirations for the film that we started with. Then I have Joy World coming in at #10, Who, if you don't know, OG 3D artist Sarah Zucker, one of the best artists in the space, one of the most articulate thinkers that we've got. And I have Elf J Trull who is Wizard Pixel Master of Forgotten Runes.

King of Ordinals. Alejandro Cartagena who is a masterful photographer. Also the founder of Daily dot. XYZ. Then we got snow Fro in the house who probably doesn't need any introduction. This is like one of my favorite episodes though. And Latasha, the queen of music in the three? Yes, she's the best. I love when she's oh wow. And we got G Ho OG. Gamer was amazing to chat with him and have him in the studio. And we got Yam Karkai.

World of women building out her world actually with her was one of my favourites. And we got artifacts. I know. This is the drippy as drippy drip, drip, drip group in all the web. Oh, look at. That and Poopy Cat Co founder of Doodles and whoa that there we go, we got through it. That is all 11 episodes. We got the official cast. We're going to be posting that on new here XYZ as well to check that out. And you can like learn a little

bit more about the artists. Those shorts again will be premiering in April. Go to glimpses, dot art, get get yourself set up so that when they premiere you can actually experience like the entire viewing experience the way it is meant to be. Super cool. It's going to be. It's going to be wild, yo. Super cool. So there's there's already 411 minted, it's free and given it's an arbiter, you don't really

have to worry about gas fees. So that's that's the right, that's the that's the that's the good part. You know when you mint on, you know alltel ones like L2 is here. So you absolutely love to see that. Can't wait to mint my free one big fan of course, actually. Well the 411 is just on one of them. I'm sorry there's 3.8000 minted already. So absolutely love to see that. Congratulations for that. I mean, last question I really have for for the crew here is like, what's next for Deep pop

studios, right? Like what? What's coming? What's up next? What? What's cooking? Yeah man. I mean, you know, long term we really want to help artists such as yourself figure out how you can be monetizing your content, right?

We want to be working in like distribution and be building out new initiatives in that way so that we can get everyone from podcasters, vloggers, to people who are creating series and like high quality films to be able to actually put their content online and use a lot of the tools that we're using to monetize and get get their work out there and seen. So that's long term for Depop, but you know it's it's very much step by step and right now it's introducing larger audiences to

the world of artists. Then we have the feature film which is going to be a much more immersive sort of epic experience. And then further down the line, you know we will actually be bringing out these tools to to the masses and then sort of show how you can get your work out there just like you've been doing for years, homie. Dude, that's that's like how we do. I mean Hannah, Bruce, maybe even to you guys. Like, you know what are you guys both most excited about?

Hannah, I'll go to you first. I'm so stoked to release these shorts and we are looking at doing that. As we said earlier in April, NFTNYC is likely the place. That's what we're looking at. It's be rewarded for people to see these little, these little slides of what the feature looks like and also start to get people connected to our cast and yeah, and have these glimpses sort of take their own life. That's what I'm looking forward to in the very near term.

Yeah, I I, I love being in in crypto because I feel like I'm always expanding my creative horizon, you know, like always, like pushing what I'm you know, learning, learning and pushing. So what I'm excited about is just continuing to do that, continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in storytelling and digital media. I I I love that this is super cool. I'm excited for all you because

I know you're super genuine. People that like put a lot of love into this project and I can't wait to see it come to like fruition for this. People asking in the chat right now what's the link to me? This glimpses dot art. So it's GLIMPSES dot art. Be careful. Scams. There's that. The usual yada yada yada. Double, triple, quadruple. Check the links Before you meant anything. Should not cost you anything. Should not cost you a thing like the gas fee must be many, many, many minimal.

So like pennies. I think so it's you should be good on that front then. Hannah. Bruce. Thank you for coming this morning. We finally did it. Can't wait for the next time you come in. We're celebrating an Oscar. Hell yeah, we are homie. Let's. Go at Depop Studios. Thank you guys for coming to see. You. Soon. Thank you. All right. All right OV the numbers keep going up. We may as well stay on. I'm kidding.

I know we both got work to do now we we got we got a lot of work to do. But big shadow, this is our biggest day ever number wise. Look at the top left. I don't know if you can see it. I know the people catching on their screens. We can I think find the studio but 1700 live listeners on video seems like we finally broke through nothing something and I love to see that for everybody follow at FOMO hour FOMOHOUR we usually have our third call. So he's pretty smart himself as well.

So and so you can be, you'll be able to catch us Monday to Friday, 10:30 AM Eastern Standard Time. We record this every day. You don't have to be there live. The live is always more fun and we then upload it across every single streaming platform. We're on YouTube. We're on Instagram, fucking Spotify, Amazon, Apple, podcast, whatever. Shout out to our guests. I mean dog whiff coin, you know, for joining us to get on stage and hanging out and just letting claps away on OV.
