[0:02:16] Landy @CryptoLandy: In the black
[0:03:44] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: key. The fur baby. Revolume one.
[0:04:01] Dave @DCBK2LA: Who remembers that one? That was a... That's a oldie but a goodie, man. What's going, guys? Happy hump day. I don't know why everybody's saying that today. It's... All of sudden, everyone... We're bringing back the old Geico fucking camel commercial. Hump day. Yeah. Was actually a really good commercial. What's shaking, guys? I I I I gotta put I gotta put the the the the intros on ice for... Until I figure out this whole Junie situation. I can't just replace her. You know what I mean? Like, I can't just be like, oh, Lexi. Like, Lexi, she she she killed yesterday. I gotta be honest. Like, absolutely killed yesterday for sure. For sure. But, I mean, I just can't replace Junie that fast. So until I figure this out, we're putting the the opening intros on pause for now. But what's up, guys? What what what's cooking? Cool. What's up?
[0:04:52] Kkoma @itskkoma: Yo. Yo. Yo. I'm driving right now. I'm doing great. How... How's how's how's it going? Infinite.
[0:04:59] Dave @DCBK2LA: Okay. Infinite.
[0:05:01] Kkoma @itskkoma: Can hear me?
[0:05:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Yeah. We got you. Can you
[0:05:04] Kool @koolcryptovc: hear me? Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. So I'm I'm hooking up my computer to space, man. So... No. No. I'm home. I'm home. No. Because I I need to connect this
[0:05:12] Kkoma @itskkoma: I'm just having to cycling. Some fun. It's Wednesday.
[0:05:14] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. No. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
[0:05:16] Dave @DCBK2LA: Guys you guys hear me. Right? Yeah. We hear you okay? Hear you.
[0:05:19] Kool @koolcryptovc: Alright. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Yeah. Come on. You smack. Yeah. Hear you, bro.
[0:05:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: You better be careful, man. I'm
[0:05:26] ADP @tony_blockchain: just kidding.
[0:05:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: Next Bitcoin conference. Bam. Good shit. Cool. Yeah. Shout out. What's up to... I don't know if you're hooked up already, but shout out to the sidekick community that's joining us on a regular basis. I love that. Landy, what's good, bro?
[0:05:43] Landy @CryptoLandy: It's Wednesday. It's hump day. Cool's not in his car. I'm confused. I don't know where to go. There's no Junie. There's not even Alexi. Koma answered for Cool, and somehow Cool was at home already. Does there... What has hap... Are we living in bizarro world right now? What... What's going on? And next... MetaPiece changed his PFP? What is going on? This is... No. I woke up. This is... No. Don't Mandela affect me either. This is this is this is all you... This is not okay. I'm starting
[0:06:19] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: to out the timeline you're on?
[0:06:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. I don't. And now I'm gonna for the rest of this evening. But now I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
[0:06:29] Dave @DCBK2LA: I mean, I'm waiting for the guest of honor to get here so you could take your victory lap. Did you see my little promo with empress eating the humble pie or or or no?
[0:06:38] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well, yes, I did. But... See, here's the thing. I can't take a victory lap when somebody agrees with me. And empress actually did agree with me, but she didn't agree with the reasons that I gave for what. So there's a there's a there's a difference.
[0:06:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: I I get Someday you're gonna go along with my content. Someday you
[0:07:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: I know. But she did agree with me. I can't take that away because we we went from space to space on this particular subject as well, her and I. And she 100% agrees that that shit was a Syob, and I was right. Alright? She agrees. She definitely disagrees with the reasons why.
[0:07:22] Dave @DCBK2LA: Why are we okay with this? I even spent the last hour pulling amazing audiograms. I mean, yeah, she is vindicated in the end, of course, because she literally says, I'm not in opposition of what Landy's saying, but, like, this would have been great. Are you telling me this last hour of work that I put in putting all this shit and setting this up? Like, you're... Like, we're really not gonna go with this? She's not here yet. So at the end of the day, we're going with it. Okay?
[0:07:43] Landy @CryptoLandy: You know, there is, plenty of of, victory laps that I could take on this one, though, because this was a re... This was a really easy read. And there was people who actually actually fought with me over this one, like, in DMs and, like, wanted to, like, come at me, like, from both sides, not not just, like, oh, hey. I'm a Trump supporter and, like, Elon and and Trump, which there was some of them too that were, like, legitimately freaking out, shaking in their... Shaking and quaking in their boots. And then there was, of course, the the other side of the aisle that was adding me, like, taking victory laps, like, somehow this was gonna benefit them. And I was like, well, I mean, when you're done burning everything down, maybe you'll have enough time to do research. And, you know, and that... That's... That didn't work out. So, you know, the the Duncanings is coming for some of those people when I get on stage with them, but they won't... They avoid me. They avoid me. They won't they won't come up. Now empress was right. I was right, and she will take me to the cleaners on the reasons why, and, that would be that would be where the disagreement comes into play. And there's no way to verify that one unless you're Yeah. On the ground, unless you know what's happening. But I'm also... Look. I'm part of the technocracy, and Right. I'm looking for I'm looking for cocaine and and and and tweets.
[0:09:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: He he... The... Yo. Cocaine requests up every time, and, like, I used to... I was... I send them a DM, and I'm like, bro, how am I... I give... We're talking about serious shit. Right? I mean, at some point. How am I supposed to let you up on stage? Especially when we have, like, guests or whatever. I'm like, I can't let a fucking account that says cocaine up on stage. But today, cocaine is your lucky fucking day. Consider consider this your lucky day. Yeah. Cocaine, what's up, bro?
[0:09:47] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: Yo. Landy, I can't believe you just said my name. Are you fucking tripped out there? What's going on?
[0:09:52] Landy @CryptoLandy: Look. Nothing's going right. There's no Junie. There's no Lexi. Cool's at home. Tahoma unmuted for cool, and then Meta Beast doesn't have his PFP anymore. I don't know who Austin Austin is. I... Austin. I'm that guy.
[0:10:10] awestin.eth @Austin86895460: I'm that guy.
[0:10:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: You're that guy.
[0:10:12] Voice P: So we
[0:10:12] Landy @CryptoLandy: also got that guy
[0:10:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: as well.
[0:10:14] awestin.eth @Austin86895460: Austin. Austin. You know it. You know it. I just wanted to say a mid spaces PFP change by Meta Beast is the craziest thing. Bro, I'm I'm sitting here, and I see a change. That's that's crazy, man. I appreciate it, though. It's it's good vibes. Like I it.
[0:10:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: I mean, listen. As a polymetiversalist, not many understand Metabeast or whatever the hell a polymetiversalist actually is, but, you know, it is what it is. Metabeast.
[0:10:40] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: I changed my PFP, like, three to four times in a Dave space before.
[0:10:47] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: I mean
[0:10:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's how nervous he thinks.
[0:10:49] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: I've I've probably done the same thing, to be honest.
[0:10:54] Dave @DCBK2LA: Okay, cocaine. TMI. You're new. Alright? There's certain rules. You're on, like, this sort of semi probationary period. You can't be done with how much you change your draws. I mean, your your PFP, every fucking space. Yes.
[0:11:06] Kool @koolcryptovc: Go, Kim.
[0:11:06] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: You know, it's actually funny. I... I'm actually on probation in real life.
[0:11:10] Dave @DCBK2LA: I wouldn't doubt that at all. Maybe you're a little bit too flashy. Just a shot in the dark here. I'm just, you know, spitballing. Maybe
[0:11:18] Voice P: Let's go fucking. You crossed the line.
[0:11:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: Exactly. Exactly.
[0:11:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Well, being that empress isn't here to eat her Fugazi humble pie and everything that I had planned, I guess we'll go into the news. Let's talk about some crypto shit. Cocaine. Yes. Go ahead. But... Yes. I'm not gonna do this every five seconds. No. No.
[0:11:38] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: No. But, normally, people just don't acknowledge when I put my hand up. This is new to me. I'm sorry. I won't do it unless I actually wanna say something, but I'm glad to be here.
[0:11:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: Okay. That's... Yeah. That's great. That's normally how it works. Thank you for the acknowledgment. Lovely. Shout out to everybody that's here. Collect the. See you. What's good? Credits. What up? Trip, Kev, everybody. Yo. True Media. Yo. Hanano, you gotta get at me. Everyone's talking about these videos and stuff that you're creating. I'm in VO also, man. Like, this stuff is craziness. We gotta get up and and figure some stuff out. I'm starting to get the hang of this live streaming thing, man. I did a live stream last night at 11PM with the the signed founder. Bro, what a freaking interview that was, man. Like, this dude... If you didn't... If you have not listened to that, I'm telling you, like, I I streamed it on my channel, on the WagMe channel, and across LinkedIn of... And a bunch of others, man. The streaming stuff is incredible. Landy, how how... Like, I mean, like, the takes that this... How smart was this dude yesterday, man? Like, super smart guy.
[0:12:37] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. That was a great interview. So I haven't actually seen him interviewed in a long time, so that was a really good get. Time, obviously, kind of was... The time of day kind of thing is, like, everybody that's usually in these streams and spaces are kind of like, wait. What happened last night? Dave interviewed who? I was like, yeah. No. No. Go watch. Look. He's got a lot... He has a lot of really good takes. He's been around for a while in the space. I didn't know what his handle was anymore, but I'm glad that that was posted up during the interview. But, you know, one of the things, obviously, that I disagreed with, but he he had good points. There's things that he said that I disagreed with. You know, this is the Bitcoin, you know, stuff that I disagreed with, but I agreed with him on his take for, you know, the only way that that he wanna do is, like, central custodian stuff. I mean, the whole interview was great. Like, with the... What he's working on, kind of the path that he's on with what he's building was really incredible. Like, that was a really good interview.
[0:13:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, man. It was it it was killer, man. The guy gave some crazy, like, really insightful takes. I mean, this is this is a guy that, like, a former, like, literally ran the trading desk at at UOB Global until he realized, like, man, fuck this. Like, I need to go out and do something on my own. Just super insightful, like, when I speak to some of these founders, man. And, yeah, tune in tomorrow. I got I got another one tomorrow with the global community lead for for Ton. So the open network, obviously, is Telegram's, you know, blockchain, and that's gonna be a dope one. Vic... Victor is a guy... I mean, really, really insightful guy, like, brash, like... And I love going one on one with these guys, and I'm gonna put... And I push these guys a little bit. You know? So, it... It's gonna be good stuff. So I hope you guys can obviously tune in. Yeah. Good stuff. Alright. Let's talk about some news, man, because I feel like the big... Like, from what I saw, and you guys maybe tell me otherwise, but the biggest news I saw was Stripe acquiring Privy. So you guys know Privy whether it's through, BankerBot or a million other different ways. Privy is, essentially the the the the the the custodial wallet, right, that you can get set up, but also then export your private keys as well. We also reported that Privy had raised just earlier this year. Think it was, like, $17,000,000 in their series a. And to get scooped up by Stripe, like, this early... Let me give you guys kind of the the the the the the four one one on the, on the deal. So Stripe scoops up, Privy. Deal value was completely undisclosed. Right? Only weeks after its blockbuster $1,100,000,000 bridge stablecoin platform buy. If you guys remember, literally, like, it was a month ago that Stripe bought up. It was the biggest crypto acquisition ever for 1,100,000,000. I didn't even know the actual statistics to this because they've grown since we, you know, talked about that Privy raise. Privy brings 75,000,000 plus embedded wallets across a thousand different teams. So, like, Stripe, I mean, making... I I mean, this is just a soup... To me, it's a super smart acquisition. Now they essentially hand merchants. Right? Like, when you... Now when you launch, it's like you hand merch plug and play wallets instead of MetaMask or Coinbase or all this other shit. It's super simple for Stripe now. And think about who's integrated with Stripe. I mean, every... Almost every single Shopify... Even now in the web three space, like, you're you're integrated with with Stripe. Any app that's being built and and especially with these AI tools, it's huge. Timing couldn't be more spot on. Right? Stablecoins, I think yesterday was reported to, was... Like, crosses, 250 or $260,000,000,000 market cap. Stablecoins cleared $27,600,000,000,000 in the first quarter of this year. That is a quarterly number. That is on part to eclipse a 100,000,000,000,000 with a t for all of 2025. That's more than Visa's entire 2023 volume, and it's only getting crazier. Now when you look at stables plus privy wallets, come on, man. This literally sets Stripe up for... I mean, they now become the complete end to end, right, crypto payment, like, platform. Like, who, like, who is going to compete with them now? And I kinda like this in a way because, I mean, I I don't know. I hear people say they hate PayPal. They hate this. They hate that. This just makes it really easy now for Fiat on ramp, stablecoin settlement, all these in app wallets now. They're gonna be super simple, and then fucking off ramp really quickly because that was our biggest problem. If you guys remember in 2021, like, there was no way to off... It was like centralized exchange. That's it. That's all you have. Now you get to set up your own shit. You're in... Like, this this is the, like, the full complete setup, and the institutions are obviously getting into the game like crazy. You saw Bank of America today issue a statement that said they're getting into the stablecoin game. In addition, they're gonna set their own up in addition to, obviously, with the other... With with the other banks to get, to make that unified one. So I'll put the pin in it there, but that's kind of the quick and the dirty. What do you guys make of this whole Stripe buying privy news? Cool.
[0:18:05] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. And... No. Yes. Sorry. Sorry. It came in. No. I I... That's the crazy, crazy outcome. And the the... This table coin game, we we we spoke about this already. We talked about this already, and it's it's the gateway to crypto. Like like, I I said this already. There's gonna be multiple companies, multiple countries having their own stablecoins. And I think it's the gateway to... They they... Okay. So when when they always say, oh, trillions of dollars are coming, this is how it gets here through, through stablecoins. So I... I'm I'm all for it, man. I'm definitely all for it. I think it's, it's gonna be big benefit to our industry, because... I mean, can you imagine multiple states, multiple countries having... And companies, by the way. I see a future of Apple, Tesla having their own stablecoin. I see a few... I see that future coming, because it's just... Everybody wants... I think I think it's the success of of of of Tethr. Tethr is the model of probably one of the most successful companies ever because they have a small amount of employees with a massive amount of of revenue. And And I think other... I mean, we we said this all the time. Right? I mean, Tethr has made more money than than black brock, man. It's crazy. So I think what's happening is a lot of a lot of companies, man, they want a piece of that stablecoin pie, and that's what's happening right now. So, definitely, I'm bullish for sure.
[0:19:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Nice. Yeah. Come on. Go for it, Uber lending.
[0:19:36] Kkoma @itskkoma: No. I mean, this is freaking big. And, honestly, just even logging in and signing up on on your, like, crypto wallet base simplified it to the max. And, like, it's... I'm, like, kicking myself in a... In some senses because it's such a simple app, like, in terms of what they did... Done, but it's... It it makes it so seamless for you... For any, like, application or whatever to just log in to Privy because I... I've looked at their API and their SDK, and they really, really just changed the game. Like, literally every app in crypto uses Previt for for for you to log in and stuff. And the fact that you can now, now it's integrated with Stripe. Like, I think Stripe is pretty much followed the same patterns. Like, business is using Stripe. And sure, you could use PayPal, but PayPal... I don't know. It's just there's... With PayPal itself, it just feels a little archaic, and then Stripe has just made it so much easier. Like, even in my web two, docs account days when I was trying to, basically set up my credit card system or whatever. Like, I I would just use Stripe directly because it it was such an easy way to just look at your, like, your profits, your revenues, and things like that. So it seems like a match made in heaven, honestly. And if there's a good way for users to create wallets without having to feel, like, super scared about it or just, like, losing something, it's it's a win in my book. So definitely, see a lot more web two people be curious and wanting to create wallets. And I could just assume that there's gonna be so many little, like, quests or things people can do to earn a little bit of crypto, whether it be, like, Ethereum based l two l two chains or any other, like, l one chains. So I I I feel like all these chains are gonna be very licking their chops to get into a new target audience and target customer.
[0:21:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I mean, no more seed phrases. I mean, miss me with the seed phrases. Just like the biggest one of all. You know what I'm saying? Like, miss me with all of it. Let's go, Landy, and then we'll go, Austin. Look.
[0:21:43] Landy @CryptoLandy: This is a big deal. I like the way that Privy does what they do. Right? They've they've created a very easy solution to onboarding people into crypto. I mean, there's a part of me that is like, why isn't... Like, why why aren't certain networks taking advantage of this? Right? It could be very easy to take advantage of this with a little bit of collaboration and development. Obviously, it's a it's a service and, but you capture so much with with Privy in terms of, potential. Right? Then it's on projects just to point right to where they can go. They've already got everything set up. They don't have to do anything. Once they get there, they could transfer and do whatever they want, and make use of of that wall infrastructure. This is a very, very big deal, and I think that that it's going to not be realized until much, much later. I've been a fan of what they've been working on and seeing this progress, seeing its use case. I think, you know, for me personally, one of the best use cases that I think has hit a wider audience around my social sphere is banker. Right? Because that was, like, a really good implementation that that you can see on the timeline. People start asking quite... Oh, wait. It's already set up. And then once you realize, you go to all these other places and it's powered by Privy, and a ton of other places are doing it now too. So this is only gonna pick up speed. I think this is actually a really good thing. I know that there's some people that have actually pushed back on it. Like, oh, I I don't like having the wall interest. But if I get hacked this and then, it's like, well, if you go and you claim and you connect your account, you know, that... This is all the same this is all the same security practices that you would have used before to to maintain, you know, account sanity, you know, or the the sanitization of your accounts anyway, this is no different than logging into... It's so slick and easy. It's like, you know, you log... People log in to their bank accounts couple times a day sometimes for some people Taking a look at what's going on, this makes it easy for crypto. So the natural extension of this, I think the implications are massive, especially with the Stripe deal. I wonder what that number is gonna be when it is disclosed.
[0:24:16] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I mean, the end to end solution, this literally sets them up, I mean, perfectly. I didn't even know that stables were processing and settling that much transaction volume... Dollar volume. That's insane. Bro, 27,600,000,000,000 in the first quarter alone is wild, bro. That is absolutely... Like, that's nuts to me. That's a staggering number. Like, I couldn't I couldn't believe it, man. That's that's crazy. But, yeah, let's go Austin, and I'll say what's up to Brett and Samara.
[0:24:44] awestin.eth @austiinxbt: Yeah. Just on that point with stablecoin settlement, this wasn't the main point I was thinking of. But, I mean, dude, how often do you see CT talking about Tron? And now go look at the Tron metrics. They're absolutely insane for stablecoin settlement and just stablecoin usage in general. I mean, like, it's a massive market that I think so many people are are fading at the moment. And I don't think a lot of people realize how big the the Privy acquisition is as well. Even if I'm just checking the timeline, I think there should be a lot more kind of post about it just because of how big it is. Because if I'm thinking about how we're gonna onboard, like, the next wave of web two users to crypto, Privy with... Using Privy with kind of an easy crypto on and off ramp is probably one of the easiest integrations you can think of. Like, Kaito, for example, is talking about moving into TikTok. Kaito is... Kaito and InfoFi in general is something that can be used across, like, any market if you think about it, not just crypto. So can you imagine, like, what an easy integration that would be if you... If you're just like, yeah, you just sign up with Privy. You get your account. You have here this, like, easy way of onboarding, or you just get sent tokens by, you know, whatever person it might be, and the payments are processed in stablecoins, and you have a little bit of Ethereum or whatever for gas to send that out. You know, it's it's pretty big.
[0:26:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: And my first experience with
[0:26:23] awestin.eth @austiinxbt: it was Fantasy Top. And, like, look
[0:26:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: at look at what happened with Blast. And I think one of the reasons why Fantasy Top was so successful was it was so easy for people
[0:26:31] awestin.eth @austiinxbt: to do. You didn't have to... When you were buying a card, you didn't have to go and approve the transaction amount and then sign the transaction thing and then wait for it to transact. You literally just went on and clicked it, and I think that was one of the reasons why it was so successful. So, yeah, bull... Bullish on this for sure.
[0:26:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. It's it's definitely interesting. One thing I don't... Maybe I don't know yet is do you guys use Privy? Is Privy just... Is only EVM? I I gotta look that up. I said let me remember... No. Right? It looks like
[0:27:06] ADP @tony_blockchain: it's It's not?
[0:27:08] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah. Yeah. You can... It can create for any users embedded
[0:27:12] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: Yep.
[0:27:12] Bread @_ToastMalone: EVM wallets or Solana wallets. That's fucking dope. I love Privy.
[0:27:18] Kkoma @itskkoma: Nice. They, like, are so smart
[0:27:20] Kkoma @itskkoma: because they just, like, literally hyper focused on one thing, and they just did it amazingly well. Like, not, like... You know, like, most people, they just tend to go after, like, the next shining thing, but they spent, like, the extra 100% or 200% effort just to improve that 1% experience. And... Yeah. I mean, kudos to them, seriously. Sorry to cut you off there, Dave. But... Yeah.
[0:27:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, man. Like... Yeah. Like, that's... I mean, when you really look at this, I think you really... Like, you have to just zoom out and look at... But, Akoma, to your point, I think that's what you constantly see, and that's what I constantly read about. Because I'm always trying to, like, figure out how, like, the best way to, like, either launch something or market something. And what I see consistently, whether it's from, like, smaller found... Like, you know, smaller companies, small... Like, get... You know, individual founders, it's, like, build... Like, focus on one, like, one thing. Don't do a million things mediocre. Do one thing really fucking well. Put it into the market. See how it goes. Get feedback. Re... And then go back to the drawing board. Like, take that feedback, reiterate, and then more and more, and just keep doing that. Right? Like... Because one you... While you do that, you're now acquiring more customers. Right? Like, it's now... Like, it just may... Like, to me, that's the way I see this recipe for success. And, yeah, Koma, I agree with you. That is exactly what Privy is doing. Yeah. Landy, go for it.
[0:28:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: So Privy supports in a tiered system, tier three e... Ethereum and all EVM compatible networks, Solana and SVM compatible networks. Tier two, Cosmos, Stellar, Bitcoin, Light Spark, SWE, Tron, tier one, Bitcoin l twos. They are set up to absolutely take over everything. That's why I said, you know, there's certain chains and teams that can take advantage of this on chains right now. There is no, like, oh, maybe there'll be support... No. Right now. And I know that there's varying degrees of of integration, and there's varying degrees of work that needs to be done in order for in order for projects and platforms and maybe even change to to do work with them, but they are set up. They're set up. Like, it is ready to go. This is, I think, the silent mover that you know is making big moves, but not many people understand the implications behind the moves. Right? I guess... I don't know if that makes sense. I hope it I hope it does.
[0:29:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. What I what I wanna see also... Like, I I love that it wasn't... Like, the the money wasn't disclosed. I feel like this is first time that we've ever seen something where the money genuinely, like, isn't disclosed. But, yeah, I I did... I didn't wanna let... Gloss over the fact of Austin and what you said about the stablecoin shit on Tron. Make no mistake. Our our our our resident Tron contributor, Sunny d, is on stage. And believe you me, we we are very well aware of, the fact that Tron has over 51% of the full... Of, like, the overall stablecoin dollar, dollar, stablecoin dollars on their fucking... On their chain. So we are abundantly clear on it. So... But great great great point.
[0:30:38] awestin.eth @austiinxbt: I think I'm on the degenerate side of crypto. That's why.
[0:30:41] awestin.eth @Austin86895460: I don't I don't see it as much probably.
[0:30:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, yes. I need these, like, literally in the chat being like, you fuckers are missing this passive income, like, forever. It's all he talks about, and he's a 100% right. But yet, the degenerates and everybody here are like, no. I want thousand x, or I hit a 100 x. I hit a 100 x, but, nah, I'm not gonna take some profits on this. I'm gonna I'm gonna wait a little bit longer. Yeah. Brett, go for it, and then we'll say it's up to Sunny D. Samar and Adam came up.
[0:31:08] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah. GM, dude. It's... Dude, Privy's a shit, man. I've been using Privy, mean, since day one with Billy Betts, you know, to onboard people. And as of today, we're at, like, seven... I was just looking at it. 740 something users. And of those, yeah, looks like like just shy of 400 used Google auth or an email to log in, and they got issued a privy wallet on the back end, you know, that they place all of their bets on the platform through, that they fund in USDC. You know, I mean, like... And it's straight up with the soft launch last weekend, I had more problems from the web three smooth brains than I did from the normies that were like, I just logged in with my Hotmail account and now I'm betting. Those guys nailed it. Did everything right. Did everything correctly. Had bets going through. It was all of the web three MFers that are like, I hooked up my SoulFlare wallet through this other extension on my old PC that I only trade crypto on, and it's like, yo. Like, guys, like, you don't have to even open this in a wallet browser. Like, open it in Chrome and just do things. You know what I mean? So, dude, I'm so stoked for Stripe now because, like, currently, to go from Fiat to USDC on the platform, you have to use either MoonPay or Coinbase. Right? Which means you have to have already had set up MoonPay or Coinbase. And I mean, granted, like, yeah, it'll walk you through the whole, like, if you wanna use MoonPay. You know, the little window pops up and you can go through their whole KYC and do, like, this whole, like, ten minute process. You know? And no no jabs at MoonPay. Right? Like, I love their platform too. But to have Stripe be able to just integrate directly with Privy is so freaking game changing, dude. Like, to be able to just... Like, yeah. Yeah. Oh, shit. The game's starting in ten minutes. Have $10 debit card. Bam. USDC. Bet is placed. You know what I mean? Like... And there's so little friction. You're just beyond beyond bullish on trivial of everything they do. Huge, huge fan. And, yeah, you... I'm I'm in real deep into their platform at this point.
[0:33:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: I love it, bro. Good shit. Adam, I kinda wanna hear from you really quickly. What's good, my brother? Because I know, obviously, you're... You guys are building agent hustle, and this is... I'm assuming, you know, kinda relevant to you. I don't know. Is this competitive is this competitive for you? Are you good for this news? I know you guys are doing something a little bit different, but, yeah, talk to me.
[0:33:28] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Bro, well, do you got me first? Because I'm kind of walking outside right now. You got me?
[0:33:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yes, sir. Yeah.
[0:33:34] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: I Yeah. This is... Man, I couldn't imagine more bullish news. I mean, for us, we basically built the same tooling as Privy, plus have just a bunch of more stuff with with back end stuff. So for us, this is like, man, it's fucking fantastic news, bro. I mean, this is just... It... It's all... It's right along the lines of what we're trying to do. Right? It's like, we just don't even think... The whole idea of wallets is so fucking dead. And this is... You know, I don't know who was just talking about Billy Betts. Like, this is the exact thing, dude. Normies don't wanna fucking download, do a seed phrase. They wanna fucking get in with their Google. That's it. And so... Yeah. I'm I'm I'm just fucking... Today's a good day, bro. It's just it's just one of those things that you just... You know this is happening. And for for Stripe to come in, and I don't know what they paid, but I bet it wasn't a little. You know? Yeah. Super bullish today. Today's awesome, bro.
[0:34:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: And... Yeah, man. I love that it's... Yeah. That's great. I love that for you guys, man. That's been fucking fantastic. Yeah. Good shit.
[0:34:34] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: I mean, dude, you just say... You think about it, dude. Just literally every fucking chain. I mean, you saw today the the Polygon guys came back and were like, I'm taking over the fucking foundation. I don't know if you saw that tweet. Where it wasn't like, it wasn't like an Ethereum foundation tweet. Like, what we've decided, we've taken a vote. No. It's like this dude was like, I'm coming back. I'm fucking taking over the foundation, and we're gonna fucking mix things up. Because we got a billion dollars sitting here doing nothing. We've been building for years. Let's get some fucking real world use cases. Let's get some people doing some shit, like like, you know, that actually moves the needle with with consumers. And so it's bullish, dude. It's like every chain needs needs customers. It's it's... The tooling is all here, and it's just a matter of, you know, are we gonna onboard people to web three? And, like, yeah, it's it's... I'm super super psyched today because this was just like just a reaffirming of of what the direction we're moving in. And, yeah, big moves by Stripe, man.
[0:35:36] Dave @DCBK2LA: Good shit. Yeah. Love it. And just give me one second. I just wanna say what's up to Samara. Samara, what's good? And then go... I wanna say what's up to Sunny d. What's good, Samara? How are you?
[0:35:44] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: Yo. Jim. Jim, Dave. Jim Cole.
[0:35:46] Samara @thee_samara: I'm Andy. Yo. Yes. Like, I saw the acquisition of of Stripe on preview. Like, I think with time, we'll see most or more web two companies and VCs kind of go heavy on what it's infrastructure. Because I feel like that's, like, one of the, shall I say, the quickest ways of just onboarding the Web two parts of the world in general into Web three... Into crypto. Because I just I just feel like that's the fastest way in my opinion. We've seen companies, like, just heading toward that direction because I just feel like that's something that can easily... You can easily talk someone into doing from the web two side because then the... They can find a faster use case for whatever they want to use it for. So I feel like what what is infrastructure is something that most likely or... Not most likely. It's something that would definitely kick off soon, and especially from the web two VCs and companies coming into what it's in front. Like, that's... It's all up from here. So, yeah, it's a big acquisition for referral, and they paid a lot of money for that, I'm sure. Undisclosed, but we know it's a lot. We know it's a lot. So, yeah, man, shout out to Stripe. Hopefully, soon, we'll be able to get our x payments in USDC.
[0:36:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Let's see. That'd be real fucking nice. Gotta get monetized first. Guys, go retweet my SpongeBob fucking videos. Alright? What the fuck? I'm not here to create VO fucking videos with my health. Let's go. I need to go viral. I've already started retweeting SpongeBob. What was I thinking, SpongeBob? I don't fucking know. It was 04:00 in the morning. I was half asleep. Anyways, Sunny... Yo. Austin, Sunny d did the PFP change mid space too. He just did that for the first time. I've never seen it. Let's go, Sunny d. This does so good.
[0:37:27] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Yo. Yeah. Today is... Well, today is is especially great, but every day is great when you're just making passive income doing absolutely nothing. But... So back to the point of how we're onboarding web two people, like, they don't care about anything that we care about other than security. They need it as easy as possible. I was working for a startup once that was automating sales tax, like, a decade ago. Wow. I'm getting old. And the CEO of the company was talking with the engineer, and the engineer was just talking in circles and circles and circles about all these different things that he was adding, and, the CEO stops him. And I'm just like the awkward intern sitting across the room. And he says, it needs to be as easy as using an ATM. Point blank. That's it. And, people who are in this space are... You know, we... We've been here for a while. We're experienced. And, we tend to forget what it's like to actually onboard people that are still completely oblivious as to what's going on in this small cohort of the population of the world. And making it as easy as just using an email is just by far the fastest, easiest way to do it. In my state, I was the first person to organize a in real life NFT art exhibition. And I spent probably, like, three months trying to figure out how do we integrate debit cards and how do we make it so people can just punch in their email address and immediately have a wallet so when they show up, they can start buying art in person using, like, a web three infrastructure. And, yo, that's what it took. And the technical person inside of me, the the degen was just fighting with me, like, why would anybody want this? Well, they don't know what they want yet. They just need easy access so they can start experimenting. So this is huge.
[0:39:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: The
[0:39:43] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Stripe... Acquiring this is huge because everybody knows what Stripe is. And then to kinda, like, relay it back to, like, holy shit, Tron. Tron did the same thing. They're like, how do we onboard as many people as possible? They went for impact. People all across the world besides America who do not have financial infrastructure to live their lives, and they went in and they implemented this, and this is why it's so successful. And now we're reentering The United States, so let's go. Hope everybody's having a great day.
[0:40:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. This is... By the way, Sunny d, I've officially... I I I definitely upped my TRX position because looking at every other chart, this thing has just been... It's like the snail. You know, it's a tortoise in there. It's like the tortoise. It's the slowest moving thing, but it goes a percent to 2% almost every fucking day. Little by little, some day point 2%, some day 1%. So it's like people don't have the patience for that. I am learning patience, my boy. So thank you, Sunny d, for every fucking thing that you're doing out here and for preaching this gospel for real. Good shit. Empress, thanks for being patient. What's up? Welcome.
[0:40:58] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: What's going on, guys?
[0:41:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: Hey, buddy.
[0:41:04] Bread @_ToastMalone: We're mining.
[0:41:06] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Oh, cool. Cloud mining. Are we cloud mining? I'm... I hope we're cloud mining. I just wanna say my bags, the capitalist American part of myself, are grateful. And then I'd also like to say, did you all just start selling out and drinking the Kool Aid, like, when Trump took office, or did you all just, like, completely cock for centralization and corporate banking systems last week, or was it the rollout of this headline? Does nobody notice that making it as easy as an ATM is basically why we came here and getting away from this? Do we understand that even at this moment in time, one of the biggest onboarding apparatus in the space that is backed by Privy, does not allow you to have your own keys to your own crypto. So I'm just curious if you all my
[0:42:01] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: post. Read my post, Empress.
[0:42:05] Bread @_ToastMalone: Hang on. And I will say that Privi allows you to export your private key
[0:42:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: It does.
[0:42:09] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: A lot. Provided those platforms work with that, it absolutely does. It has been very well integrated. It's very nice over on Forecaster. I export my wallet over there into the different things that I want to. However, different types of places are choosing to keep it relegated to whatever, and humans don't know fuck all. And this is literally, like, why don't I just yank all my crypto so that the government can't see every single fucking thing that I do on the blockchain, put it back in fiat, and go back to the banking system that we're all so happy to sign up for again.
[0:42:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: I just wanna say how happy I am to have you on this show. But for the record, like, you are content fucking gold, and Landy completely stepped on my entire plan for the... For this for this space.
[0:43:00] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Because it was wrong and your promo was wrong, and I was pouting. And I almost didn't what because your promo was thought
[0:43:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: the latest. Was bait. It was bait. It was bait for everybody, and it was great bait that had you fully vindicated at the end, and it would have been a great story. But Landy literally torpedoed an hour and a half of fucking work.
[0:43:18] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Poor empresses that you previously hated, and I was getting screenshots of your humble pie because your content was poorly written. That's cool. A temper tantrum, and that's why I was late to the show. Thank you very much.
[0:43:31] Kkoma @itskkoma: I was so tempted to cut her off while she was talking and be like, I I I don't mean to cut you off. I don't mean to cut you off. I apologize. I'm not a
[0:43:39] Landy @CryptoLandy: real Cobas over here cloud mining. Hold on a second.
[0:43:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, that yesterday's space was great. You guys were amazing, but I told you, like, I had to go... Yo. And I'll tell this right now. If that space didn't cut off when it did, I literally woke up, I think, maybe seventeen minutes before I had to do that livestream. And mind you, like, livestream. Granted, didn't have time to shave, obviously. But, you still gotta put yourselves together, so I needed that sleep. You guys did really well. You guys did great. I thought it was amazing. You guys were, like, literally ready to kill someone, and Bruce was fucking literally grabbing you all by the dick and being like, come this... You shut up, you. You you just fuck. You shut up. And you... Alright. Now you go. You can make your point, but don't be a condescending asshole when you do it. Like, that was great coordination. I think you guys worked really well. And when he said Paul Atkins was his uncle, I was like, this has to be when the phone dies. This has to be it. That was the best fucking part.
[0:44:34] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I immediately jumped into Landy's DMs, and I said he doesn't know that my uncle is the father of his illegitimate brother, so he should shut the fuck up.
[0:44:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, it's so good.
[0:44:49] Landy @CryptoLandy: Dave, do you have any idea how difficult it was for me not to burst out laughing the entire time? I was just trying to remain as, like, monotone, lainy as I pa... I was trying to be as lainy as I could get, but I was dying. I was muting and hitting the floor and just laughing my ass off. Just want
[0:45:11] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: you all to know
[0:45:12] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: that they're trying to Jedi mind trick you right now. They're trying to distract you from the fact that I called them all out for cucking for Corporate America, and that's what's happening right now.
[0:45:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: Listen. As a... As the resident Corporate America representative, I know that they that they... At the end of the day, the day bucks don't flow without without cucking to the big old man out there. Alright? So that's kinda where we're at right now.
[0:45:39] Dave @DCBK2LA: Well, was it gonna be question? Was it gonna be a cut?
[0:45:41] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Have you ever tried to onboard someone in their seventies?
[0:45:45] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I am... I have onboarded, most recently, the entire foundational black American spaces at one point. You do? I I like doing mass onboarding in spaces. It's a good time.
[0:45:55] Bread @_ToastMalone: I did using the corporate privy stuff.
[0:45:57] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: I don't think we call it onboarding over here.
[0:46:01] Dave @DCBK2LA: What do you
[0:46:02] Bread @_ToastMalone: call it?
[0:46:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: What do
[0:46:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: they call it?
[0:46:06] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: I better not say.
[0:46:08] Bread @_ToastMalone: Something... I'm sure.
[0:46:11] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: No. I'm joking. Don't kill me.
[0:46:14] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I think they call it a hate crime in some places.
[0:46:16] Cocaine @CocaineCabal: I mean, yeah. I'd put... Well, I should be arrested really, being in England for some of the stuff I post.
[0:46:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh my god.
[0:46:25] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: But Sunny d, your point your point is not lost, and that's why I led with. My bags are grateful. I'm not a moron, and it hasn't been a decentralized space in a very long time, but I just think there should be a little bit of a nod and pause to, like, you know, the death row.
[0:46:43] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Absolutely. Like... But we just gotta get them here, And then after that, they get hooked.
[0:46:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: Empress Empress,
[0:46:49] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: you don't like you don't like the... You you can log in with your Social Security card? I mean, that's... I think that's, like, it's amazing new feature that that Stripe is, like, onboarding all these people with their Social Security cards. I mean, you're not you're not down
[0:47:01] Bread @_ToastMalone: for that?...
[0:47:01] Kkoma @itskkoma: A humanity protocol, a proof of
[0:47:03] Kkoma @itskkoma: palm, just scan your palm. Yeah, bro.... Your Social Security card. Boom. Next thing you know, you do a retinal scan.
[0:47:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro, people were doing that in Amazon in California, bro. Like, are you kidding me? Like, I was in an Amazon GoFresh. They walk into the counter. Literally, dude puts his palm across the thing. I'm like, what the fuck? What kind of person do
[0:47:19] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: this for nothing less than a toe print, toe impression, 30 character password that must be changed five weekly whatsoever. And so on.
[0:47:29] awestin.eth @Austin86895460: Bro, did you guys see Quay had KYC to claim your airdrop? And it was, like, a $5 airdrop, and people were just KYC ing. Store?
[0:47:39] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: That was, like, Coinbase's down summer Coinbase did massive massive detective work with their whole send in for your free pizza coupon. Send in for your free socks, and everybody
[0:47:52] Landy @CryptoLandy: punching gets that. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
[0:47:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: Aren't you... Don't you think... Empress, don't you think that Jesse's commercial of... Wanna get on chain? Wanna get on chain? Like, the street, like, some creeper? Like, don't you think that that was the thing that really... That that that was gonna bring the masses? I could have sworn that was it.
[0:48:07] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yo. Hold on. Dude, every every crypto event I've ever been to, I've used Luma. You know? Like, and that's connected to my Gmail, which is ultimately connected to probably my privy, which is connected to my wallet through transfers, which is connected to... You know? I mean, like, at this point, like, either go off grid via hermit and huddle
[0:48:25] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Bitcoin You It's keys piece to me. It's the it's it's the fact that, like, we start to run into... Like, it's hard enough to manage your assets to make sure you don't get drained when people start really blurring that line and getting confused as to what's within their possession and what can be compromised someplace else and how that's navigated, that's that's more where my concern is. Because I I, like you, I think if we're all sitting here in a crypt... Crypto Twitter space, I really feel like none of us are stealth ninja enough that we've, like, completely evaded any form of identification throughout this entire process. I'm I'm not delusional that way, but I do think that when you're signing up with emails and when you have centralized hubs and and people don't know where their assets really are just like central exchanges, it just starts to get a little dicey.
[0:49:20] Kkoma @itskkoma: Are are you, like, semi docs, though? Because, remember Dave did mention along the lines of you laying down somewhere, maybe Ah. Showing No.
[0:49:29] Landy @CryptoLandy: It's feet pics. No. Listen. It's just the feet pics. About those.
[0:49:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. No. This was this was in this was in addition to the feet pics. But... Yeah, like, guys, like, why would you... See what you... You know what you guys did? You literally cost me. Listen to this bitch. Just... This is what you cost us.
[0:49:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Fuck it, Landy. Goddamn. You're a goddamn motherfucking bullshit. This is fucking ridiculous. Listen to me. Why are we normalizing this? Can somebody explain why... Like, okay. Let's pretend that you're telling the truth. I don't think you are. I think that this is beautiful. I think that as usual, you are amazing on the optics, and I love when you piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. It's a weird kink that I've suddenly developed having never liked water sports before, but, you know, you're really good at it. Why are we normalizing this bullshit?
[0:50:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: See? Look what you guys did. Like, I had a
[0:50:23] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: whole funny. That rant applies to this conversation too.
[0:50:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: You have No. It doesn't. It doesn't.
[0:50:29] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: It does.
[0:50:29] Dave @DCBK2LA: It does. It kinda is.
[0:50:30] Kool @koolcryptovc: You you saved that clip, man. You gotta save that clip. That's the greatest soundtrack I've ever heard in my life.
[0:50:36] Bread @_ToastMalone: Can I
[0:50:36] awestin.eth @Austin86895460: have that as a ringtone? That's what I
[0:50:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: want, bro. She I have
[0:50:39] Kool @koolcryptovc: this whole ringtone right there.
[0:50:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: She fucking cooked me. Like, I did not know that I could feel cooked again and feel it as if it was in real time, but she fucking cooked me, dude.
[0:50:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro, you're all getting your salary slashed, and it's all going to Empress at this point because this is fucking content gold at this point. This is the... Like, this is crazy. Like, I had... It's cool. I had seven of them pulled with full vindication at the end, by the way, like, to my to my total clickbait fucking title and Humble Pie fucking video. But, I mean, this is gold. Alright? I need everybody to step their games up. Empress, thank you for setting the standard. The bar is set really high, boys. I don't know what the fuck you're gonna do. And then this cocking shit is not obviously good.
[0:51:20] Landy @CryptoLandy: That's not gonna work. If you set the bar high, I'm walking right under it because that's how I do things. This
[0:51:26] Dave @DCBK2LA: T shirt.
[0:51:26] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: Right under
[0:51:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: this shit. First fucking non dad joke that Lindsay has told in this space in weeks. Oh my god. Yes. Love
[0:51:33] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: it. So perfect when you're a little puppet too.
[0:51:36] Bread @_ToastMalone: I'm way higher than that bar, bro.
[0:51:41] Dave @DCBK2LA: And and one quick shout out on the complete other side of the spectrum, what we're talking about Stripe and all these integrations. Shout out to the SunDog team that's in the account who's got their poo NFT coming out very, very soon because if you survive the shit, yeah, boy. You know it. Shout out to the Sundog crew. Oh, man. It was such gold, Empress. I swear. It was so fucking good, man. You guys bummed out sometimes. Place is full
[0:52:08] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: of PTSD. Sorry. It's just... We are. We just are.
[0:52:13] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Most of the most of PTSD hangs out in the grease trap, though.
[0:52:18] Dave @DCBK2LA: Good question. Like, when I I do have one last question about this whole integration. Right? When you look at really how this streamlines everything, when we say, you know, onboard the masses and blah blah blah, this genuinely does, like, touch the masses, and it touches them in a pause. But, like, it literally, like, it meets them, like... And their needs exactly where they are. Merchants, I seriously think about Shopify and how many people have fucking Stripe accounts. Like, how many, like, individual store owners. Small business is the lifeblood of this country, of The United States Of America. You have over 50,000,000 small businesses. I can almost promise you that, like, a a good percentage of those have Stripe integrated already into their business some way, somehow. And now with the way AI is going, I can't... Like, when you wanna set something up, now you can set up front end, back end, and what's the pay... What's the default payment option off the bat? Stripe. This is it. So bringing this... Like, bringing them into crypto without having to fucking explain all this nonsense and having to write down a 12 or 24 word seed phrase and risk your uncle fucking... Who's a crypto exec getting kidnapped in the middle of fucking Soho and dragged through the street and his balls electrocuted. Sounds like a pretty fucking appealing, you know, proposition in my opinion. I'm just saying.
[0:53:31] Landy @CryptoLandy: Please don't appealing balls. Please please don't be appealing those balls.
[0:53:37] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: To to Empress' concern, like, I think with with Privy, I know certainly with us, like, it's still a self custodial wallet. Right? Even though you're logging in with Google, they're still creating self custodial wallets on the back end. So, you know, I I
[0:53:50] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: so much shit, but I'm just gonna say it. The banker apparatus right now, you can't get your own keys to your own wallet. So it's... Even though that's a Privy thing, like... So if Banker is operating that way and you don't have access even using Privy as the backing apparatus, then that begs the question, what other platforms that are using Privy as their their in... Integration
[0:54:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: Wait. Wait.
[0:54:19] Kkoma @itskkoma: You could...
[0:54:19] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: To gatekeep those those passwords.
[0:54:22] Dave @DCBK2LA: You can't you can't export your keys on banker?
[0:54:24] Bread @_ToastMalone: Correct. Thought you said the button. I mean, if they add the button, you can do it. It's an API call so Privy's back end. Yeah.
[0:54:29] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Exactly. So it's not Privy adjacent, but what I'm saying is is they're... The... Whoever's implying Privy, right, and is there for... If they're gatekeeping those keys.
[0:54:39] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Yeah. I mean, wait. Hold on. I mean, if if if they haven't built it in yet, that means you can't. That means they have access to your keys. Right? Yeah. So, dude, I mean, I I did not realize that about banker. I had no idea.
[0:54:51] Bread @_ToastMalone: No. You don't... They they don't... You don't get access. Like, I... There... There's no way for me to tell any of my users private keys on privy. Like, that has to be something. You have to be logged in, and then you have to export your private key. That's all. Yeah. Yeah. It's like an...
[0:55:03] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: It's ultimately...... Clear. What I'm saying, though, is somebody, though, is gatekeeping that information. Either it's because it's just not being allowed... Either way, somebody is gatekeeping it.
[0:55:14] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Well, how how is how is banker allowing... How how can it... I mean, I understand the AI basically has permission to your wallet, but you don't have permission to your wallet. I I don't I don't get that. If you don't have access to your keys, how's it your wallet? To to back up or something a little bit there.
[0:55:31] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Still gonna get in trouble for this.
[0:55:32] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Yeah. But, I mean, if you can't if you can't actually... If you don't have the ability to access your keys, it's not your fucking wallet.
[0:55:39] Bread @_ToastMalone: No. But you can still sign with it. Like, as long as you're logged in and, like, you can still sign transactions with that wallet using the private key from their back end.
[0:55:47] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Yeah. But, dude, I can sign my shit with with my Coinbase wallet.
[0:55:50] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Me clean this up. Let me
[0:55:51] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: try to clean this up before Emma first kicks me out again for you, Empress. But here's the thing. The the reality is is it... It's a tool, and it should be used as a tool. But, no, it should not... It definitely should not be viewed as a custodial wallet. It should be used... It should be viewed more as a trading tool in a in a hot wallet because you do not have actual... There... If they were compromised, whether... I don't know if it's banker or whether it's privy, whichever were compromised, that person would have net access to all the access within within that.
[0:56:27] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Oh, wow. No shit. Like, I did not know that about banker. That's that's surprising. I'm very surprised that that... That's the case. I would have thought... You know, because you can build it now with the with the TEEs and stuff to to be self custodial from the jump. So that that is surprising. I didn't know that.
[0:56:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: I didn't know that either, actually. Empress, that's really good. If... I'm I'm in the banker terminal right now, and I said, hey. Can I export my private can I export my private keys? And banker said, I can't export your private keys. Your keys are managed by Privy and are noncustodial, meaning only you have access to them. You can manage your keys directly at dashboard.privy.io. So I guess I'm... And I'm in the... I'm literally just in the process of doing this now. So talk amongst yourselves, and I'll let you know what the fuck I find over there.
[0:57:12] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I'll put up top as well. Went... And I went round and round with Banker on the timeline in this conversation. I told him he was using circular logic and infantilizing me. So I'll put the thread up top.
[0:57:27] Landy @CryptoLandy: So, I do know that no matter what at the end
[0:57:31] Landy @CryptoLandy: of the day, you can
[0:57:32] Landy @CryptoLandy: go direct the privy for any privy wallet that has been made for you as long as you can verify the connection to that wallet. So if it was, like, x Yeah. So I know that you could do it that way, but the kind of... There's ways in which people... And and this is not unique to Banker where it's not sourcing the exporting of your private key. And this is not just a banker thing. This is actually... So, like, it is a... An actual concern for people like ourselves. I think that the reason... The ethos behind it, because I do have to take kind of the other side of this because that's just in my nature, is that that when you're building like this, if you offer it all upfront, you're... You have the potential of moving people off the platform that you're trying to build after you're already... After they already get done what they wanna get done. I think... Oh, Viper wants to go up. So that's that's one of the reasons why I think some of these platforms that are building using Privy aren't sourcing some of that. But I'm in... I am 100% in the camp of the option should be right there, right up front from the moment that you log in to export your private keys because that's... If you if you hide that behind any other way, anybody new wouldn't even know how to do that. Anybody experienced would actually be like, oh, no. Just export your private keys. Now you have a big confusing mess on your hands for somebody that's new, easily onboarded, but not easy to take take full control of that particular wallet by having the private keys. So under... I understand both sides of this one. And, yeah, it's a legitimate actual... You know, it's a legitimate criticism. But I'm I'm curious seeing as Viper just popped up. What's up, Viper?
[0:59:25] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: How are we doing? I love how we
[0:59:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: get What's going Mikey? I love how we
[0:59:29] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: get lost in the weeds in these conversations. Empress, how are you, dear? Always lovely to hear you.
[0:59:35] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Viper. I told them
[0:59:36] Dave @DCBK2LA: it's a no.
[0:59:36] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Yeah. You did, and I actually heard my words come into your mouth, so I appreciate that. I love you. Bread?
[0:59:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let me find out fucking the the vipers did done. Yell.
[0:59:47] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Bread, you use Privy, right, for Billy?
[0:59:49] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah, man.
[0:59:51] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Can you see my keys? Can you see my seed phrase?
[0:59:54] Dave @DCBK2LA: Nope.
[0:59:54] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: Okay.
[0:59:55] Bread @_ToastMalone: I have zero access to either of them.
[0:59:57] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: I just want... Like, just as we got lost in the weeds, I think that that needs to be very clear. Yes. Anyone using like, whoever spun up and using Privy for you to be a user of doesn't see your shit. And I I think that that needs to be very clear. Yeah. And other than that, like... And on the, like, why don't we have them when Privy can private... Privy can provide it for banker and such, to me, it's like in Deployer We Trust. There's a reason he is not doing it, whether it's the legal side, whether it's security side. There's a reason. There always is a fucking reason with the WASI. So in Deployer We Trust, but beyond that, like, I think on the overall ethos, yeah, I get it. But that's not what this is. Right? It's a it's a tool. Use your fucking cold wallet, you moron.
[1:00:38] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: This is a hot this is
[1:00:39] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: a hot, hot wallet. Treat it as such.
[1:00:41] Landy @CryptoLandy: Vypr. If you connect Yes, sir. If you connect your other wallets to it, it doesn't... There's no way to import. Right? I'm just curious because I
[1:00:50] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: know that you can connect other wallets it. Yeah. I do. So here's how I use Banker. I keep the Banker terminal in my Rainbow Wallet browser. It is just my default talk to. When I'm just talking to it, it's, like, connected to my x account. I will go into the asset page and click on wallet mode if I wanna be on, like, a wallet that I control and still use banker. So for, like, sell everything under $5, like, dust and stuff like that, I use it all the time on different wallets. But that's how I use it, and then I, like, clog out of wallet mode. So you can integrate a wallet you have the keys for with the banker technology by using wallet mode in the asset. And then if you're just in default like I do, it's just like you're talking to it in prod... Like like you were on x, but it's in private.
[1:01:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. And I wanna make that abundantly clear to everybody, that just because you cannot export your private keys does not... That is not by default, meaning, like, they have access to your private... Stripe is not buying Privy. If if Privy's literally running around here being like, hey. We got these keys. We got those keys. No. That's not happening. So let me just... I want that to be abundantly clear to everybody here that is not the case. What I wanna
[1:02:05] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: do now is I wanna go into, like confusing. No. It... No. What Viper was saying is this deployer doesn't have access to your private keys, And
[1:02:16] Dave @DCBK2LA: that's like, bread doesn't deploy. Oh, sorry. But banking.
[1:02:19] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And that makes sense.
[1:02:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Was my point.
[1:02:22] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Right. And banker. Sorry. And I'm not even saying that third party gate key... If it's gatekeeper or whatever necessarily does. But it does mean, like, if if you don't have that that full whatever, a massive compromise on the... Whoever has that info, which isn't banker as Viper said, whatever that is, like, the... There's a... There's an element of security and understanding in that and how you move with it.
[1:02:46] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Yeah. I'm I'm I'm banking on, like, Stripe did the due diligence, and security is pretty good.
[1:02:51] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah. I think privy is probably... I agree. Like, every... If privy gets compromised, like, there's a whole bunch of web two and a half, web three type platforms that are gonna be totally effed. You know? But I feel like Privy has been around doing this shit and doing the same shit for long enough out here. And, yeah, like Viper said, I mean, like, to be acquired by a company the size of Stripe, like, they were checking your fucking middle school yearbook to see what notes were left to make sure that everything is, like, good to go.
[1:03:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, this is giving me fucking this is giving me fucking v b
[1:03:22] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: fucking Dave, let let
[1:03:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: me put it let me Oh my god.
[1:03:26] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Let let me let me put it... I'll I'll... For our competitor, Privy, I'll actually defend Privy. I'm 99% sure Privy uses, like, a TEE environment. They don't have access to your keys. I'm 99.999% sure they don't have access to your keys. You know, it may not be integrated with with Banker where Banker's gonna be able
[1:03:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: to give you your keys,
[1:03:46] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: but that doesn't mean it's it's not, self custodial. I'm I'm 99% sure they don't have access to your keys. So, I mean, just to
[1:03:56] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah.
[1:03:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Back up Privya....
[1:03:57] Landy @CryptoLandy: Documentation, they don't. I'm looking through the documentation. They don't they don't even have access.
[1:04:03] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah.
[1:04:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: It's your account.
[1:04:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: It comes down to the privy tech. Right, Landy? Like, that's essentially what it is. Like, what is the privy tech that is keeping all this safe?
[1:04:09] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. And and from... And so, realistically, just like with anything else that you use to log in through email, x, so on and so forth, It's on the end user's security side of things and and your your your, sanitization and how you kind of move on the Internet, and and and whether or not you're you're, you know, you're keeping strong passwords and authenticate... You know, the basics of security just as as a user of the Internet in in total. So, yeah, I've... I poured over this originally, and I'm... For anyone that wants to go look, their their documentation has been really well flushed out even since the last time I looked. It's it's actually... I I like it, you know, and and, you know, I like......
[1:04:55] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: It. I don't like I don't like integrators, how how we don't know who's going to decide how's... They're gate kept or not gate... You know what I mean? Like, I don't like what what that dictation is.
[1:05:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: There's actually some some Bitcoin layer one because that's on their tier two. There's a Bitcoin layer one project that's doing kind of the same thing where you can't export the keys. And I've had conversations with the project founders, and they're like, look. The big thing right now is people fuck up, and we wanna protect them from their selves is kind of their refrain. And and then that option is coming soon.
[1:05:36] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I I I posted... Put it up top, but I did have a conversation with banker, and it... And and that's the same thing. And and it says the same thing. And, again, none of this is to say that it's nefarious purposes. This is me being an an OG crypto person and wanting control of my own keys and having my own control issue. It doesn't... It's not implying that anybody is moving shady or trying to screw me over or wreck anybody. It's just I like my keys. I like my crypto. And when you get into gray areas where you aren't completely in charge of your keys, it it makes you pause for a minute and be like, k.
[1:06:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: We're fucking jaded out here. Like, I'm with you. I I definitely get that. But I think we I think we laid it out, like, well enough. So are you saying that that's the that's the, essentially, the the end result that... Or the end conclusion that you came to, like, based on your thread, Empress, of, like, it was banker doing it, deployer doing it, like, because people... Other people fuck up, and that's why he's not rolling
[1:06:34] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: out yet. I told banker to quit infantilizing me. I mean, the entire conversation was him telling me that he's protecting me from my goddamn self. And I'm like, well, bitch, if somebody compromises you, then everybody gets fucked. And then he was like, you're out of messages. And I was like, fucking CT. I hate it here.
[1:06:53] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: I mean, bro, let's be honest. Banker is the hottest hot wallet, like, on earth, bro. It's got access to your x account, bro. Like, anybody tweets out your shit, your shit's gone. Like, that's the hottest motherfucking hot wallet ever. So just treat it appropriately, man. That's it. I mean, it's it's pretty simple. Don't keep some fucking real amount of money in there.
[1:07:10] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Yeah. And that's in Viper's point, like, when he... It resonated, but it's similar to Bonk Bot. Right? Like, treat it like a trading bot. Don't treat it like a wallet in any type of thing. And just to double down, kinda side note, as you said that, I wanna remind people, because a lot of morons DM'd me, go turn on your two factor authentication and regular, like, Twitter fucking security. And if you haven't, get out of crypto and and put the fries in the bag because... Jeez Christ.
[1:07:39] Landy @CryptoLandy: But, Empress, if I remove my phone number, then I can't community note people anymore.
[1:07:46] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Oh, that's effective.
[1:07:50] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. I can't community note people anymore.
[1:07:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: Or I've never... Apparently, time I volunteered... Landy, one time I volunteer... Apparently, like, I volunteered to be a French community note person, and I I mean, I don't know why I would do such a crazy thing. And now all I get is, oh, we need your help on this community... For community notes. And I'm like, I don't know what these French people are talking about. Like, I I I don't know
[1:08:09] Landy @CryptoLandy: what this is. Like It's over there hitting the translation button.
[1:08:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. And I'm like, no. I I get it, but, like, I see it, but it's like, I I don't know how to fucking... Like, ask me if it's an AI generated image. Alright. Maybe I'll I'll be able to fucking weigh in on that one, but I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. How do you undo that on Twitter? If you have Remove phone number.
[1:08:28] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: If you have behavioral problems and... Or haters and get reported in, you have to have a phone number. I don't know why that would be. But you can go to Target for, like, $5 and get a throwaway cheap cell phone and a phone number and use that. And then... But don't don't keep it attached to your regular phone. Get a burner.
[1:08:51] Dave @DCBK2LA: You know those numbers that you... You know those texts... Those apps that you can generate a phone number for? Those don't work either.
[1:08:57] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: That's why you gotta
[1:08:58] Dave @DCBK2LA: get number. Numbers for... In this... In Walmart. Yeah. Fair. Alright. So I was also looking into under the hood how pretty
[1:09:05] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Is it because we don't have the keys for those phone numbers?
[1:09:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: Hey. Yo. What's going on? Sorry, Dave. No. You're good. You're good. I I just love how Empress was literally watching. I've never heard this woman hold her fucking tongue or, like, think about the next word out of her mouth more carefully than she did in this in in the... With this statement, which is fucking wild. But just goes to show you out here, the cabals are real, ladies and fucking gentlemen. The cabals are real. Oh, and on that note our black had a really... What? Oh, black rock. Oh, black rock. Yeah. Wait. Hold on. Wait. Here. This one gonna tell him? Hold on.
[1:09:41] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I like to look
[1:09:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, wait. No. This one this one was great. This... But it's not this one. Is anybody gonna tell him?
[1:09:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: I like to listen to fallout boy.
[1:09:51] Dave @DCBK2LA: Wait. And that one also cut off, and the rest of it was kinda fucking That seems relevant
[1:09:55] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: for you, Dave. Hold on.
[1:09:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: Ready. Wait. Wait. Here it is. Here it Here it is. Here it
[1:09:59] Dave @DCBK2LA: I got a joke for you, Dave. What do you call a cabal that has no motion and can't move a chart?
[1:10:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: What? What?
[1:10:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: A media company. I got a joke for
[1:10:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: you. Yo.
[1:10:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Empress out here cooking people. Guys, you sure what I'm talking about? This fucking puts asses in seats. Empress fucking... I don't know. But, like... Yeah. Will you marry me?
[1:10:25] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yo. I felt that, by the way, when she said that. That that was a
[1:10:30] Bread @_ToastMalone: I like Fall Out Boy too, so it's cool.
[1:10:33] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. When she said Fall Out Boy, I was I was taken back. I was thrown back years, and I felt it. I felt that one.
[1:10:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: It's kind of amazing. But yet she also... Empress, I had this whole thing planned out. You have no idea. But yet she also, in addition to those hot takes, listened to the fire alpha, okay, that she drops.
[1:10:54] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Couple of things. One, hyper liquid memes are starting to go. It's still ridiculous over there with how not competitive it is. So even getting it in a two month market cap is a pretty safe bet. They have now integrated Honey Pot Snippers. I did a whole thread how to get over there. Not as bad as you think. A lot of people think it's only leverage trading going on over there. I don't leverage trade, so that should give you an idea if that's not what's going on over there. You should probably check it out, especially while it's a lot of good entry on OG memes.
[1:11:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: Thank you. And it goes on. There's more. Guys, support... First off, like, you guys know how I am. Like, I've been waiting for Nat Nat to come back with a fucking... With with a passion. And, first, I just wanna say, like, you do bring an an insanely amazing vibe, like, to... Like, genuinely to this space. And I'm thankful that you are here because it's the laughs. It's funny. It's great. It's roast, but it's fucking alpha at the same time as well. So just know if those... Like, whatever fucking shit that you deal with in all those other spaces, like, you got a home over here because, like, we want more of you, please. So keep coming back. I just
[1:12:08] Bread @_ToastMalone: want to give a prompt.... Hate you, Empress, but I don't. So it's okay.
[1:12:16] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Clip that one, Dave. He'll use that one in the future.
[1:12:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: She'll... I
[1:12:22] Kkoma @itskkoma: like how she didn't respond to the proposal, but she she responded to that. She loves hate.
[1:12:30] Landy @CryptoLandy: Listen. I gotta tell you this. All I know is is I'm looking out here on the wider Internet, and I realized that I am actually not very well liked. I was like, you know what? I've been siloed into my own little TA corner. And then I I I ventured into the other messages portion, and, man, oh, man, I do not... I'm not well liked as it turns out. I get a lot of... There is
[1:13:00] Bread @_ToastMalone: so many problems with You
[1:13:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: know that they Yeah.
[1:13:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Well, you
[1:13:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: know They...
[1:13:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: I have We're misfits. We're misfits that we all kinda congregate together. You know what I mean? It's like, everybody hates on us. Let's get together and ban that. Wants
[1:13:12] Bread @_ToastMalone: a Charlie in the bog.
[1:13:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: I opened
[1:13:19] Landy @CryptoLandy: up my message. The first one is you short piece of shit. You're a fucking idiot. Go kill yourself. Like, Like, how do they even know that I'm short unless they're here in the grease trap?
[1:13:35] Bread @_ToastMalone: The tall socks make you look shorter. It's a fashion thing.
[1:13:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yo. We don't normally have, like, that many be like, there's five grease... Do we normally have grease trappers?
[1:13:47] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yes. I'm getting them all the time now.
[1:13:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: Interesting. Yeah. Even Bubba likes the grease trappers. Hey.
[1:13:53] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I'm gonna assign them all to Landy. They're all here for Landy. I don't know Obviously.
[1:13:58] Landy @CryptoLandy: Mhmm. Especially after my takes the other day of, like, you really think that meme's going back to all time highs? Yeah. That shit ain't doing shit. Go look at the DOGE coin chart, and then SHIB launched and cannibalized that shit. And it ran towards the end of the year, and DOGE didn't even pick up its fucking... Off its ass. It got up 75% of the way before it shit on itself. Yeah. That take would... Did not go over well in that particular space. Yep.
[1:14:29] Dave @DCBK2LA: Good times. Good times.
[1:14:30] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: People don't like truth, Dave. They don't like it.
[1:14:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: That, my friend, is facts. You are right. Yep. And people don't like saying, wait a minute. I think I was wrong on this, or I might have had that off, or I might have misspoke. People don't like doing that in this space, and people love talking about shit that they have no business talking about. It's my favorite thing ever. But enough of our rants. That's fine. We can move on. Any any new stories other than the privy story? Bank of America, stablecoin stuff. Oh, no. I did wanna talk about... Hold on one second. I did have... Wait. Where is it? The the the genius act. Because I wanted to see, like, how, like, with... Obviously, we're talking about stablecoins. Like, the news on Genius Act, like... And how it stacks up maybe against, like, like, some of the other stablecoin bills. I'm looking. Senate just invoked cloture 68 to 30, so that passed on the, quote, guiding and establishing national intervention for US Stablecoins of 2025, clearing the way for a final vote in the next few days. Landy, was there ever... Like, did the house vote yet on... Oh my god. The... What was the one I wrote the thread on? The the... Not the Genius Act. The other one.
[1:15:39] Landy @CryptoLandy: The Stablecoin Act? Because they... There was two of them. There was the Genius Act and the Stablecoin Act, and then, of course, the Bitcoin Act. The Genius Act, I believe they they... Their... The senate is sending it back to the house at this point for final vote. They've been passing it back for... You know, that's actually... I'd have to go look at clarification on that because I know that the house is definitely looking at it. I could tell you with 100% short guy authority, limboing under all of the high bars, that they have seen it. They've given their input on it, and they're all for it because it sucks up US treasuries. So that is that is one of the main selling points to all of the different house... Members of the house and members of the senate and the the senate banking committee and all of that. So this is something that I think will be passed. Now the... I'm wondering if they're going to merge or if they're going to do a separate bill for the stable... For the other stablecoin stuff. Because one of the main things that does kinda bother me is where does that put put, stablecoins that are not using treasuries to back? I e, they're using the best freaking asset on the planet to back, like, Bitcoin instead because that that now... What do we... Where do we classify those then? Now they gotta go and they gotta get treasuries on the books? Fuck that. That's trash. Why would you put trash on the books when you can have Bitcoin on the books? Like, you know, what... It's the the the the... Literally, the sailor ethos. Right? Like, put Bitcoin on the books. Why would you have treasury trash? Now granted, the reason why they want it is because they know that once it's implemented, you know, Tether has proved this out that you can... That they can become insanely wealthy, and those who are invested in these, in in these stable coin companies will become insanely wealthy. So they'll all get positioned as elites and with friends and shit like that in various industries to do so. And then we get the net benefit of sucking up all of the treasury assets, which, takes... You know, the... One of the main reasons why the Fed would also be okay with all of this is not for the reasons people think. It's not for the CBD side of things. It's because then they get to clear their fucking balance sheet, and they don't have to worry about loading it up as much. So when they say, oh, we we cut rates... And this is... I suspect this might be a play because we know Powell meets with Bassett and has met with Trump, but he meets with Bassett pretty much every week. He he meets with the senate finance, and and banking committees in ways and means. Right? So they all know each other. They're all around each other on a consistent basis. So he knows if he cuts rates right now and there's no demand for treasuries, they're the buyer of last resort. You have to do balance sheet expansion, which always turns into QE. But if you cut and this passes and companies start to catch fire with this and they all have to back with treasuries, you can cut, and now you have a vector for the demand or for demand where there was none before. So... I mean, not that there's none, but, you know, the the increasing demand versus... You know, because what we do as a country, and and I agree with a take that I heard not too recently, it's a pretty good, take, is we export the fiat trash in all of other company... Countries to take control, and we do it via our treasuries. So if we have another way in which to do that... And by the way, this isn't me supporting the system. It's just the way the system works. So this is something that I think is ready to go. I think they're ready to pass it, and I think if the... I wouldn't be surprised if rate cuts and the passage of this come in at around the same time. That's a that's
[1:19:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: a Yeah.
[1:19:45] Landy @CryptoLandy: Conspiracy theory. Go ahead. Sorry.
[1:19:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. I was gonna say, like, I feel like the... Like, are the administration and Jerome Powell still at odds? Like, I saw somebody... I forgot who it was. I don't if it's David Sachs. If somebody said that Jerome Powell not lowering rate, not lowering rates is, what did he call it? You used some, like, really... I don't know. He said treasonous or what what are these crazy ass words to be like, this dude is, like, betraying his country by not doing this. What do you... Like, what what do you make of that?
[1:20:15] Landy @CryptoLandy: I think that, much like my take on the Trump Elon thing, I think it's a sigh up. We saw this, you know, back in 2018. And what did Trump do after Powell was appointed? He had the treasury, take... You know, essentially, the Fed was answering to the treasury directly under his prior administration, and this was after Powell's, Powell was was put in a place. So, you know, that was the whole narrative of meet your new Fed chair Trump. You know, like, that was the whole refrain from the media, and the reason why they were able to attack him in that way was because of the manner in which he kinda set things up.
[1:21:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: Copy. Alright. Last ten minutes. What what what else you guys got cook... What else is cooking on the timeline? What other news did you guys see? Any other alpha you guys wanna drop? What do we got?
[1:21:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: We got
[1:21:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: a hand from Tanter.
[1:21:16] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Did we all see office space, like, back in the day? Yeah. For sure. What? Remember the micro transactions? Yeah. Much fucking... Has anyone ever looked at how banker works?
[1:21:31] Bread @_ToastMalone: Fees, bro. Fees are the fewest Oh,
[1:21:34] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: and Stripe seems to have some money.
[1:21:36] Dave @DCBK2LA: Cool. Fractions of pennies. I was more thinking the... Hey, man. Did you show your o face? No? What's the o face?
[1:21:45] Landy @CryptoLandy: Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I was thinking you were going
[1:21:48] Bread @_ToastMalone: to finally use my jump to conclusions, Matt.
[1:21:55] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: My quant get long on Poly yesterday after I've been saying for two months, Poly is doing things, and he printed. So... Yeah.
[1:22:05] Bread @_ToastMalone: You see Sandeep Sandeep Sandeep's announcement today that he's taking over as CEO of Poly.
[1:22:11] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Excellent. Yep. I once did a disclaimer for all of his posts. It's pretty funny. I should find that.
[1:22:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Hey,
[1:22:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Hey, Andrew. Chris.
[1:22:26] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: I was being polite. There's two things. Like, one, with the stablecoin stuff, and maybe you already covered it, Bank of America is apparently developing their own stablecoin. Their CEO announced that earlier today. It it seems like, you know, with the the stablecoin stuff, like, we've talked about a lot here, and it's it's a it's a conversation that keeps coming up. It's... It... It's funny because, like, with stable coins, it's a obvious business model. It makes the most sense. It's a very boring business model. Everyone would rather launch a new layer two or a meme coin or something like that. But there... There's so many of these, like, unsexy, really important piece of infrastructure like Stablecoins. They're super appealing to regulators at the end of it. And I think, you know, with stablecoins and other, like, unsexy business models, we're gonna see a lot of the same thing with AI. Right? Because there's gonna be all of these regulatory burdens that we're gonna have to figure out for this new agent pick Internet on on these decentralized financial rails. There's gonna be a lot of opportunities that are massive for start ups and companies to get ahead of it, you know, before you you get circle sized or enterprises come in and do the same thing. Earlier today, Accenture, which is billions and billions of dollars, they announced that they're doing a partnership with Equity Labs and the the Hedera Foundation to go and look into this exact kind of stuff. They're building governance models around AI and playbooks for running business logic around AI models, which is really interesting. Right? Because this is a multibillion dollar company.
[1:24:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: And I
[1:24:17] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: doubt those those two things are kind of, like... Just really fascinating, right, when it comes to AI and where AI is heading.
[1:24:24] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: And I think it's
[1:24:25] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: a signal to the market. Right now, we're also focused on stable points and where that's heading. But there are all these really key business models of AI that we're gonna have to figure out. Like, how do you do KYC for an agent? How do you identify agents? How do you custody tokens for agents? The same way we figured out things like Fireblocks for custody of assets with Bitcoin. How do we do the same thing for AI agents and be comfortable with it? You know? It's the thought starter.
[1:24:54] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Yeah. Can I try?
[1:24:55] ADP @tony_blockchain: Chime in?
[1:24:57] Bread @_ToastMalone: Alchemy. Alchemy's agent wallet kit. Been digging into that and some of those docs, and I think that's a promising thing. I'm not saying that that is the solution for these agentic that, you know, or agentic transactions being, you know, happen on the back end. You know? But there definitely... There are teams building some stuff, you know, and, it it just kinda dawned on me that I feel like as far as web three goes, we are at a point where, I guess, to reference, like, pop culture, like, they're about to close CPGs. You know what I mean? And that's kind of, like, where we're all at right now. You know? Because ultimately, we need some of the bigger players to come in in order to, you know, ultimately achieve this quote, unquote mass adoption that we all want. You know? Because that brings liquidity and that brings attention, and then all of a sudden, your dead hidden NFTs might actually be worth something. Right? Probably not, but that's the dream. You know? And realistically, it's kinda like we can continue to fight for CBGBs to be open, But at the end of the day, it's kind of a seedy shithole venue. And realistically, like, we should put a nicer venue in its place. And it doesn't mean that we can't still have shows there. It doesn't mean that punk rock culture as a whole is completely dead. However, you know, it's time to kind of evolve. And I think that we're right now struggling with some of those hurdles as far as, like, what is the good balance? And, obviously, the corporate suits want whatever's gonna benefit them the most. And the punk rock web three people out here are like, you know, fuck you, like, you know, my keys, my crypto, you know, all of this. And we... We're in the process of finding where that middle ground is, you know. And I don't think that that's gonna happen for at least another year or two years, I think, minimum.
[1:26:49] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: Well, the counterbalance to that will... And always should be open source and embracing open source as much as possible, like Linux and Linux Foundation and Android. And you... You've you've always got this huge amount of of backing through these organizations that still propels so much of the Internet. Like, most servers run on Linux. Right? Every... Most AI agents are probably running on a Linux server, and that's the biggest open source consortium in the world. And that's how you build trust in these ecosystems. And it's no different for web three. I mean, that's why all blockchains are public and web two, this kind of of thing thing that doesn't exist. You tell Web two business to put all their code on GitHub for the world, and they'll just tell you, fuck you. Why why would I do that? And Web three, it's the complete opposite. It's like, yes. Your smart contract should be public. I should be able to look at all of the the code, and it should be no different for AI agents and this technology. And the time is now. We need to get ahead of it specifically for AI before these walled gardens kinda cover every corner of AI and make it so that we can access or understand how these things operate. Because imagine a future in five or ten years where AI robotics takes over, and we have no understanding of how they actually work because we didn't build it out in open source. We didn't build it out as a trustless mechanism, and these robots are just talking to each other and completing actions. And somebody manages to hack into their systems, and they just take over and destroy civilization. And maybe that's a a far left, but it it it shows that we need to think about this from day one, and there's an opportunity today before these billion dollar organizations come in and take it away from us.
[1:28:39] Bread @_ToastMalone: Well, there's a fine balance, though, in open source. Right? Because, I mean, it's kind of like like we were... I forget. I think Sunny d brought up earlier the ATM. You know? It's a great analogy, you know, used for years as far as, like, onboarding shit. You know? Like, nobody we... Nobody has to learn the bank protocols in order to use an ATM. So what are we doing by onboarding with education? Right? That's retarded. Like, at the end of the day, though, you can't also open source all of the bank's protocols. You know what I mean? Because now that's a security concern. You know? So it's finding that line between, like, how much can be open source, you know, and people that... You know, companies especially that love money hate open source, you know, because they can't own it, you know, and they can't monetize it, and they can't own the IP. Shout out Unstoppable Domains. Great job, guys. You know, you can't just patent your way out of everything, You know? It's it's a weird spot to be in. I know that you understand it. Cantor, as a as a developer, you know, it's like I've I've published so much code that I could real... I mean, I probably could have sold to a company, but I published it in Web three because I like, let's fuck around and find out and see if, like, the shit works. You know? And then it did, it's like, oh, dope. Well, I guess it's free for the world to use now, so it is what it is. You know? I'll keep, you know, putting the fries in the bag for now. You know? And it's it's a weird dichotomy when you start to get into development technology and and open source code.
[1:30:04] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: But now but now we can put the price in the bag because we have these ATMs and they're entirely transparent. Right? And I... My point... My broader point is is billion dollar organizations, like Accenture, come in. We have to keep with that ethos for AI because this is the time for us to to take that by the horns. Right?
[1:30:27] Bread @_ToastMalone: Oh, no. Absolutely. Yeah. With AI. I mean, owning your data. Right? I mean, is the this is the big talking point with all of AI, but, like, you're not gonna open source your data. You know, you're not gonna open source your algo that is essentially built off your data. You know? And so where's the line between being transparent web three, here for the culture, wag me, blah blah blah, and I'm trying to get fucking paid?
[1:30:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Let's go. Good good stuff, boys. Let's go to Empress. Empress, go for it.
[1:30:58] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I was hoping Como was here. That whole kata, kanta, whatever thing he was talking about, it's the whole last movement. He left us in the dark. That whole, like, polygon, capybara, Kaido thing is a whole cabal over there, and they're moving in shadows, and they're gatekeeping the alpha. And I'm onto them now, I've and gone, and I've turned on Nodis. But I just want everybody to know that they're making moves, they're doing some shit, and I've clocked them now. It's fine. It's okay.
[1:31:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: Watch yourself, Kaito. She's coming.
[1:31:36] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: But that I want the Polygon I'm telling you we're missing something. There's actionable alpha and we're missing it.
[1:31:43] Bread @_ToastMalone: Bro, the the the alpha is the fact that Sandeep today announced that he's taking over as CEO of the Polygon Foundation, and yesterday they announced an x integration with Polymarket.
[1:31:53] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: And they hired Rudo three to four months ago. So, like, that was my tip-off.
[1:32:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: I like this. Anybody else have some some good spicy stuff? Cool came back up when you heard Kite, though.
[1:32:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: I got some spicy
[1:32:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: stuff. Real
[1:32:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: quick. Because I'm watching Cool right now. But I didn't know this, but QOQ 10 QOQ 10 is SEC approved now. It's amazing.
[1:32:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: Wait. Co q... Wait. I'm sorry. Did you say Cool q 10 is SEC
[1:32:35] Landy @CryptoLandy: approved? Yeah.
[1:32:36] Kool @koolcryptovc: What the fuck is
[1:32:36] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: that what you mean?
[1:32:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: Cool q ten, isn't that FDA approved? Like, isn't that food or vitamin
[1:32:40] Landy @CryptoLandy: or something? This is clearly SEC approved in the financial sector.
[1:32:45] Bread @_ToastMalone: The little guy, mean.
[1:32:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: Cool q 10. Cool q 10. I I could've sworn I've seen or heard that somewhere. Fucking hell. I don't know.
[1:32:52] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Is that Cool's new meme meme coin, bro? I think he just dropped that meme coin, didn't he? Cool cool q 10? What the fuck is cool q 10? Come on, guys.
[1:32:59] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: Tell him. For your
[1:33:00] Bread @_ToastMalone: joints, bro.
[1:33:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: You guys have never sat down and watched and had dinner, and then, like, a commercial comes on and says, co q ten. You need this for healthy joints. And you're like, wait a minute. I thought it was CoQ ten. And that's when you really realize the genius of one that is called Metabeast. So there you go. That's really
[1:33:22] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: If they
[1:33:22] Bread @_ToastMalone: don't want to Oh, go ahead, Empress. My bad.
[1:33:24] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Sorry. Just real quick. And I don't wanna upset and trigger anyone because people seem to be about it, and Monad is frustrating. Don't get me wrong. But here's the thing. Warpcaster rebranded back or should have been FarQuest. The... FarQuest dropped a separate app entirely for an independent wallet. FarQuest is now integrating Hyperliquid. They already have a game, a mini dApp going on over there. And you can mad farm Monad through there. And why am I bringing this up this way now? What's the backing protocol for all the wallets across all of them? That would be privy. So I'm just saying you might want to be max farming in in that ecosystem, potentially.
[1:34:15] Bread @_ToastMalone: I was gonna say something about I've never seen... Well, read the other day that, you know, have you ever seen a commercial for Chinese food? And I said to myself, no. And so I'm wondering, has anybody?
[1:34:29] Dave @DCBK2LA: Do you guys see what I'm talking about here? Literally. Like, Empress literally just drops. You might wanna farm this alpha alpha alpha, more alpha alpha alpha. And bread, our resident fucking dev that got a million dollars from Coinbase literally says... Anybody ever see a commercial for a Chinese food?
[1:34:47] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I mean, to his point, the Lily Allen video is when it clicked in my head, The UK always says get a Chinese, and it just drives me crazy. I'm not sure about a... Like, they get...
[1:34:57] Bread @_ToastMalone: Call they call it fucking takeaway. Who cares?
[1:34:59] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: But does Chinese food really need a commercial?
[1:35:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's the question. We're probably gonna offer some...
[1:35:09] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: The deep... Wait. Would it work if I did this? Let me see if this works. Go to FarQuest, play the mini devs, and see if it gives you the answer to whether a commercial exists. Does that work? Is that how we sigh up idiots? Okay. There we go.
[1:35:23] Bread @_ToastMalone: No. We airdrop them Chinese food.
[1:35:28] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh my god.
[1:35:29] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Or we just make a commercial for Chinese food.
[1:35:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: We can now. That's for sure. Malta, why you gotta do this, man? Come on, bro. What the hell? Why did they do that?
[1:35:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: Like, if you've ever come
[1:35:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: to the show, like, you come up on stage for the first time, an automatic mic on mute, and I don't know what the fuck you were doing in the background, greeting cheese or fucking far worse. That shit was terrible, bro. Like, I don't even wanna wanna fucking know. But either way, Empress, you know what I just... I had a thought just now. Didn't they come out with, like, a forecaster where you can... Where you're... Like, you could... I think Viper put me on to this where you can, like, charge people to see, like, a video or an image or... Like, you literally get paid, like, dollars for something reveal. On your one minute video. Pornhub? What?
[1:36:17] .agt @agtdomains: By Yeah.
[1:36:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I mean, one month reveal.
[1:36:19] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: No. That's how I was showing it.
[1:36:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[1:36:23] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: You could token... Yeah. You basically... Behind a paywall, you could set the amount, and then you could... Whatever the media that you wanted to show. So use your imagination.
[1:36:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, see, empress, bro.
[1:36:34] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah. I need food to...
[1:36:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro, let's do it then.
[1:36:37] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Is anybody scared that they're gonna sound like a pimp in the next three seconds? Ready? Go.
[1:36:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. A 100%. I'm gonna pimp out the content that we're gonna make, and we're gonna farm the shit out of people for dollars and dollars and more dollars and more dollars. And they're gonna be like, oh, maybe it's gonna get better after this. Like... Yeah. Surprise. Yeah. It just keeps going. And you're just like, fuck. I paid another dollar? But you wanna see it. Right? If people are coming into spaces to listen to fucking train wrecks, this is the best of both worlds. We'll give them a little bit of fucking alpha, which, by the way, Far House, how... Would you fucking... I need to understand. Would you... If I start... If I launch the show on Far House, would you guys come...
[1:37:16] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Nobody wants your kind there. Do not bring these people over there. That is a pretentious landscape for artists and devs and let them have it. Why do you wanna ruin everything?
[1:37:25] Dave @DCBK2LA: Because everyone's telling me that I need to go over there and I can get paid a lot more money on Bro, it's a lot...
[1:37:30] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: It's easy to have a
[1:37:31] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: lot more than zero, bro. It's very easy to have a lot more than zero, dude.
[1:37:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: Insane.
[1:37:39] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: It's been a while, but Fart House was rather dead. Not too
[1:37:43] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: long not dead. It's a haven, and it's not for our type of trash. Leave them alone.
[1:37:48] Landy @CryptoLandy: I was You
[1:37:49] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: don't know my type of trash, ma'am.
[1:37:51] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. I was gonna say Metapist. Well, the fact that I
[1:37:55] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: have, like, a far house.
[1:37:57] Landy @CryptoLandy: Tell me to go over there as a Bitcoin first guy is the most hilarious thing in the world. It's like, yo. You should be over here. You should do your Friday streams cross x and far house. I was
[1:38:08] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: like, wait You would fit in over there. 100% you would fit in over there.
[1:38:12] VIPERɳϝƚ🖍️ @VIPERnftDOTeth: Ride your dinosaur coin over there. They'll love you.
[1:38:17] Bread @_ToastMalone: What? What'd you say
[1:38:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: about my
[1:38:18] Bread @_ToastMalone: safe moon, bro?
[1:38:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: We're buying windmills Listen. With safe
[1:38:22] Landy @CryptoLandy: moon, bud.
[1:38:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: We're buying windmills.
[1:38:24] Landy @CryptoLandy: Bag will pump someday.

[1:38:28] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Are those your Endo Sartoshi pastas? I have 10. They might do something again. All good.
[1:38:34] Dave @DCBK2LA: In other news, Moto coming back up says he was painting the wall with a roller, and he unmuted by mistake. He's very sorry.
[1:38:40] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Wait. But that Eupham is in two... They're a minute. I
[1:38:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: don't know. But I'm gonna give another shot either way because I'm a sucker for it. Fuck it. Let's go. Moto, what's up? Hello, Moto. Oh my god. That set it up so perfect.
[1:38:52] ADP @tony_blockchain: What's up, guys? I'm sorry about before. I'm actually painting, and that was like a roller on the wall as dry as it sounded. But, yeah. No. I wanted to say something with touch up on what, you and Empress were talking about on, what's cooking, like, from the Polygon team and, on Kaido. And it's basically, it's a platform called Katana. So I... I've been looking into it quite a bit. They started, like, a pre deposit to earn campaign where you could, like, deposit some money onto their website, which is gonna be an l two. They're gonna have their own l two. It's not live yet. And, basically, collect some TVL, and you get, like, a crate which has some prizes in cat, which is gonna be their native token, or in, like... There's some NFTs, like, some CryptoPunks and the ladies
[1:39:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: and whatever. Chain?
[1:39:47] ADP @tony_blockchain: It's gonna be an l two. Yeah. It's not... They're not live yet, but they're gonna have an l two. And, basically, they believe in, like, deep liquidity for high yield type model. And, like, right now on USDC, on Ethereum, there... There's, like, APR of 55%, which is pretty crazy. And they already had, like, $65,000,000 deposited. And, that's it. There was just some alpha that, like, there's gonna be extra points from, like, the the earlier depositors. So I think the deposits opened last week or about ten days ago maybe. And so, it could still be an earlier deposit as it's gonna go till the end of June. And, yeah, they're doing a campaign with Kaido. So if you're on the top, top 100, you're likely gonna get... You're gonna be on the leaderboard, and you're likely gonna get rewarded in cat. There's like... They said they're doing 10,000,000 CAT tokens per month as, like, an airdrop to to the people yapping about it. So I started yapping about it, but, yeah, I think it's very promising. You know, I feel like a lot of people have, like, the short term investment mindset. When you think of it, like, 55% APR to park, like, some money and then potentially, like, get the rewards from the ecosystem, I think it's definitely something to look into.
[1:41:20] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: I know I heard about this recently because my mind went immediately to Nat Nat.
[1:41:27] ADP @tony_blockchain: Yeah. Like, they just started dominating in Mindshare too. I think they're... For Kaido, they're probably on the top three right now. I haven't checked in the past few hours, but they're probably on the top three. So they're starting to take over Mindshare. They just announced their Kaido campaign in the past two days too. So that's why now everyone's, like, trying to be early and, rank up the the Mindshare leaderboard. So it's definitely not late for that. But, yeah, I know. Looks really cool. I'm putting most of my eggs in that basket. I'm gonna try to connect to the community there and see what's up.
[1:42:03] Dave @DCBK2LA: Great great stuff. Glad we got Moto to come back up. Alright. Thank you. Good good thing I read the comments, and shout out to the the wall being painted. I have no idea how the mic comes unmuted, but that is some wild What color? That is fucking amazing.
[1:42:15] Bread @_ToastMalone: What color are you painting the wall, Moto?
[1:42:17] ADP @tony_blockchain: You never It's a... Okay. So I'll... It's a door, and I'm painting it white. I'm painting the door. I basically have this duplex I've been living in, and, like, it's two years I'm here, and I don't have any doors. Like, I've been living without doors. Only my bathroom had a door. And so now this year, I'm thinking of putting it for sale, so I have to install all the doors, and I'm painting them now. I'm just getting it ready to sell. But, yeah, painting the doors today, man. I was just listening to the space, and just wanted to tee up about Skatana a bit. But thanks for having me up. They've actually came out another time too, and I listened quite a bit. But thank you, guys.
[1:42:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, man. Thanks, Moto. I appreciate you, man. Good stuff. Hey. Believe in second chances and third chances, kids. You never know. Empress, go for it. Wait. Real quick. Bread, what color is... You painting the wall? That's where you follow-up, like, with Chinese food with?
[1:43:09] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Yeah. You and I'll forget we're painting the roses red stuck in their head at that moment in time.
[1:43:13] Bread @_ToastMalone: Listen, man. I'm out here just trying to get the important information. You know, these people are here for alpha, and I wanna make sure that they're getting it.
[1:43:19] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: That's why you're cock blocking it right now. Okay. So here's the thing. It's not even happening. There's a net... Listen, bro. Another reason that some of these chains, this this Kata move that is happening, might do well is, rich guys got egos, and the ones that miss out on Hyperliquid are gonna be pissed, and they're gonna be looking for the beta play, when they couldn't get in at the beginning there. And with Polygon making the massive moves with money behind it and even the people... Literally, the people they're hiring are massive movers in this space if you've been here long enough. So be paying attention. When I'm up here saying to y'all, I'm looking for actional... Actionable alpha on Polygon. And when you hear that a new chain is rolling out, even picking up free NFTs and holding on to them and being able to flip them, the... There's all kinds of things that can be farmed and capitalized on when that kind of movement's happening. So that's what I would be looking for if I was y'all.
[1:44:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Good shit. Brad, with your... What's your next question?
[1:44:27] Bread @_ToastMalone: I was gonna say that's some that's some real alpha. Kudos.
[1:44:33] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Kudos is a is a a cereal bar, just so you know.
[1:44:38] Bread @_ToastMalone: What? Yeah. No. It's not.
[1:44:39] Dave @DCBK2LA: Now we're really dropping alpha. Now we're defining what kudos is. But, guys, my next fucking domain fucking foray is is upon us as if I didn't lose enough money on my dot eaths because I was way too early on those. Dotag t is now a domain. Welcome, agent TLD, to ATC.
[1:45:01] .agt @agtdomains: Well, thank you. Thank you. Great space, a lot of laughs, lot of good stuff. Love Chinese food, so this is the perfect space for me. Just wanted to let everyone know that today we released the AGT TLD. So that just kind of goes back to speaking about how AI agents are gonna find wallets, verify. Right? I think we're all done with KYC. So that agentic namespace is now open, on Polygon. So those those names are available to register. Haven't been a whole lot yet. Just released that today. So here's some some super alpha for you. But just wanted to to share that and and start getting to know some more people in the community. So thank you. Appreciate the time.
[1:45:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh my god. You're gonna make me FOMO into this shit right now. Okay. Tell me more about this now. How how does this work? What is it built on? Is it using ENS is what I need to know first because I need... The scars run deep.
[1:46:05] .agt @agtdomains: It's not ENS. It is on Polygon, but we also have options too if you are a super long term player for HNS. But, yeah, right now, you can just go to a gt.domains. It's got a lot more information there. But you can, you know, mint your SLD, your sublevel domain, that translates to an NFT, and and we're gonna be building out a lot more capabilities than to to support agentic workflows. But it's, free named as well.
[1:46:39] Kantorcodes | ℏol/acc @Kantorcodes: Yeah. Go ahead.
[1:46:40] Bread @_ToastMalone: How how
[1:46:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: does the DNS transfer work? Like, is it... Because you know how, like, dot box, you can literally transfer of the NFT, gives you full transferability with DNS, or do I still gotta go through DNS to to to transfer the domain if I sell it, the NFT?
[1:46:52] .agt @agtdomains: So there's there's a lot of options. It's mainly organized through free name, and so they have a lot of documentation there on on how to transfer those. But you could just send it right to a wallet if you wanted to, so you don't have to worry about, yeah, going going through hoops in order to resell it.
[1:47:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Interesting. So... Wait, guys. So so, Brad, Adam, you guys tell me. Right? Like, I didn't even think about this. Like, is... Like, do you think this could be a thing? Like, how will you identify agents? Because we're just sitting here talking about agentic, like, volume. Like, we're... Like, I see virtuals obviously is just about to launch, like, their agentic marketplace. Google, we know already launched theirs. How do we... How do you identify the... Like, what's an agent versus... Right? Like, is this gonna Bro,
[1:47:36] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: agents don't need human readable fucking names. I'm sorry, bro. I mean, I I love the namespace. I have my dot e's, my fucking dot set, all that shit, but the agents don't need it. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, they don't need that shit. That's my that's my first impression.
[1:47:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah.
[1:47:53] .agt @agtdomains: I mean, they definitely don't need it, but they say an agent ain't an agent unless it's an AGT. That's that's just what I've been hearing. Posted a new AI generated song on Suno then too. So I know it's not, punk rock, but if if you're looking for a new anthem and and some... Something to believe in, go give that a listen then too.
[1:48:16] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah. I agree with I agree with Adam, but, like, I do think, like, to push back a little bit on on Adam's is that, like, people, though, should be able to have an easy identifiable way to see an agent. You know, whether or not that's through a subdomain or whether or not it's through just other sort of standard naming conventions or whatnot. Like, yeah, agent to agent shit, nah. That just slows shit down. But as a user, being able to actually see maybe on chain, like, oh, who... What made this transaction? Oh, it was shitbot.eth. You know? Like, great. Now I know. You know? So I...
[1:48:51] .agt @agtdomains: Well, another thing too, like, think about the large language models, chat GPT and all that, they're right now having to search the web in order to find some answers, and that's a very inefficient way of doing it. Right? The websites and everything are all set up for users and and and people in order to navigate to find those different services. But if someone asked ChatGPT, hey. What is the best, you know, sales agent or or what's the best marketing platform, it's not going out and looking for different, you know, name hashes and stuff. It's it's gonna look for something that's like, okay. What is... What makes up a good marketing platform? Well, it's going to need, you know, a a good keyword, structure. It's gonna need good schema. It's gonna need...
[1:49:42] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: So wait wait. Tell tell us what chain what chain is it on?
[1:49:45] .agt @agtdomains: Right now, it's on Polygon.
[1:49:46] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Okay. Because, I mean, the main the main issue is, like, all these agents are gonna be on every chain, and I just... I don't know. It just seemed... I mean, tell me how it's gonna interface with all the chains. Like, if I get a domain name today, how's that gonna interface with every chain?
[1:50:00] .agt @agtdomains: Yeah. So right now, the way that it's set up, I I did it through free name because you can mint it then on multiple blockchains. And so Polygon is just the first one, but there's there's several other that all will roll up, and and be able to bridge and and talk to each other. So I don't think that you're gonna have the issue that you had with that wallet with HNS and unstoppable, you know, having those collisions. And part of my job then too is to try to make sure that I I have that namespace on every chain then too, just to make those potential collisions, you know, go as seamless as possible. So we've we've already got three, and then the free name platform supports, I think, eight different chains right now with with more to come, as well as some international trademarking type of things too. So... Yeah. I mean, I'm I'm not an expert in in all of that, but just here to say that I I recognize that that's a big problem and, you know, you you guys are hearing it early. And and I think that's one of the biggest things is being able to brand AGT, you know, early on and and grow the community as fast as possible. So when you think agent, you think AGT, you know, there's there's really only one destination that's that's gonna be the source of truth. That's the goal.
[1:51:34] Dave @DCBK2LA: Alright. Alright. Not bad. I'm not go... I'm not running to go momentum right now, especially on Polygon nonetheless. But... And listen, AGT. I think at the... That's just me. Some people might like...
[1:51:44] Bread @_ToastMalone: Who knows?
[1:51:44] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Talking to walls, especially on Polygon.
[1:51:48] Adam McBride @adamamcbride: Bro, you are the only person I've ever heard is heard is actually bullish on Polygon. I I kinda like it, dude. With the new news and shit, I'm like, Maybe I should go mint some of these motherfuckers right now, I gotta say.
[1:51:59] Dave @DCBK2LA: Listen. When we said everyone's zigging, you should be zagging. And if nobody's on Polygon right now, and I mean nobody, then
[1:52:07] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: How do you zig nobody?
[1:52:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: We've had
[1:52:09] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: the past three and now. Wild. Wild, Landy.
[1:52:12] Landy @CryptoLandy: Landy. I use Polygon all the time to transfer things. I mean, to to I don't think that's what she was referring
[1:52:18] Dave @DCBK2LA: to. Think she was referring to the alpha that she's been dropping
[1:52:20] Landy @CryptoLandy: the entire fucking episode about There's there's there's some things cooking on Polygon, for real. And it... And it's been it's been a slow cook, but there is things cooking. So, look. I I I am a blockchain whore. I love blockchain technology. I'm Bitcoin first, but I go where where the eyes are not looking. You have to because that's how you get in early. That's how you can position and sit around and wait. And that's... You know, when... Whenever the hot narrative is around, if I didn't catch it, I go I go and I look for everything else. What are people not paying attention to? I have this conversation on every stage every day, but it is just kinda how to roll, especially when things are declared dead. Like, I I don't know if if any of you guys were around and gals were around. You know, just a couple months ago, ETH was dead. ETH Meme Coins were dead. Bitcoin or Bitcoin was taking up too much dominance. ETH can't move. Pump fund is the place to be. Trump Coin, it's gonna change everything. Hasn't changed much. It's another meme coin.
[1:53:41] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Massive liquidity suck from Solana to ETH, so that was good.
[1:53:46] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. I mean, we were trying to do that in the first place. So thank you for expediting that process, Trump. You know?
[1:53:51] Dave @DCBK2LA: I disagree I disagree with the with the Trump, and it's not every day that Joe Plummer gets a seat at the table with the president. So I think that was transformative.
[1:54:00] Landy @CryptoLandy: Listen. You know, I had to I had to protect a a bottle of whiskey for for for one Andrew when he got dragged out as first from the Trump event for livestreaming it. So, you know, I mean, that's just kinda how things go. Anybody can get in, even even Andrew. And that's just... You know, it is what it is. I... You know, if you can get a seat at the table in a Trump event, maybe you can shake enough hands that somebody will notice you on the outside, and you can get in the real, real elite circles. Like, not not the whole ones.
[1:54:38] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: We're saying it's hand shaking? Okay.
[1:54:40] Landy @CryptoLandy: Listen. You can shake you can shake anything you wanna shake. But, you know, I mean, to get in the power structure in Washington DC is one thing, but then they get into the inner inner circle as well. Buy some Trump, I guess. If you buy enough, you'll get dinner with him.
[1:54:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Gotta shake a lot of ass in order to do that. Meta eight came up. Meta eight, good to see you again, my bro. Good to chat. What's good?
[1:55:04] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: Hello, David. How the devil are you? Yep. Marvelous.
[1:55:07] Dave @DCBK2LA: Fantastic, my boy. What's good?
[1:55:09] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: That'd be marvelous. Yeah. No. I just sort of interjecting just on the old dot e's dot a g t, whatever domains and shit. Like, dot e's all the way. I mean, you know me, but it... If it works, it's good enough in my mind. But, like, you're forgetting there's a little something I just wanted to add in. Sometime... Like, at the moment, there's this beautiful thing called banker. Right? And you don't even need a dot eth or dot anything. You just need the x account. So they're free as far as I'm aware. So go farming x accounts. Go and get your favorite handle on x, and it will work across Polygon, base, Solana. And that is, like... That's what bots can use as well. That's how we know all these bots by name. Right? We don't have to worry about anything. We just know that at symbol. And that that can cover a multitude of domain. Why are laughing now, Chris? This is genius. Bank is the fucking future. Like, my my words. Whether that's financial advice, I don't know. But it's... So it's... It is definitely something that's here. And, like, I love the way that, like, it even undermines DNS. DNS still works as a compliment to it, but, like, all you need is a fucking app in... On your x account. And, yeah, everyone's got a wallet if you're on x and forecast, I think. Yeah. So there you go.
[1:56:25] Landy @CryptoLandy: Okay. Medigs. I I gotta say the work that y'all are putting in over there with the buy me million dollars of banker is fucking genius, and I love it. It's it's literally the greatest thing I've seen in a while. It's just like people adding banker, like, buy me $1,000,000 of banker, and then everybody's going... And it's flying. Like, it's going up in my chair like crazy. I love this. This is amazing. Who kicked that off? Who knows who kicked that off?
[1:56:55] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: As in literally just like that. I haven't seen that yet. Is that like a new little thing that's going on?
[1:56:59] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yes. Yes. I
[1:57:00] Dave @DCBK2LA: I first
[1:57:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: saw it from
[1:57:02] Kool @koolcryptovc: I don't know.
[1:57:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: From Endgame.
[1:57:03] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: It honestly might have been Don, Landy. He tried to send somebody a million hype through banker.
[1:57:09] Landy @CryptoLandy: He he, like,
[1:57:11] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: done... Yeah. No. I'm kidding.
[1:57:13] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yo. That's amazing. I fucking love it.
[1:57:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: You guys don't know the creative sessions that me and Meta eight used to have? Fucking... We were like, this ENS shit is gonna change the game. I just fucking registered lipstick emoji, high heel emoji, fucking dots. No. Got it. Okay. Some ladies.
[1:57:34] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: And Bro. And create 10 sub remains of it as well. Yeah. That's the thing. Right? Sub remains.
[1:57:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro. Like, at that point, it was like
[1:57:42] awestin.eth @austiinxbt: Sephora is
[1:57:43] ADP @tony_blockchain: a lot.
[1:57:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: Wait. I got some... I'm selling this to Sephora. Is that even a
[1:57:46] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I mean, if you want a real cheat code, like, the most base cheat code code, like, welcome to CT, wherever you see a bunch of stick figures and stick figure cats all in one space, If you just post up and listen long enough, you're gonna hit a leg, like, just so you know. That... That's the real cheat code. Those spaces still exist every day, all the time. That's a cheat code.
[1:58:10] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: Especially if they got messy purple looking hair. Like, there's some real alpha going on around those face.
[1:58:16] Dave @DCBK2LA: Look at those fucking ears. You've been poking out of the fucking... Like, that's fucking... That is impressive. Yeah. I mean, we're finally getting fucking...
[1:58:23] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: I've been hanging around messy perps too long. It's just grown on me in the last week. It's just like, fuck. I don't know if it's his favorite.
[1:58:29] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Come on.... Get a mohawk.... You.
[1:58:32] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: Yeah, dude. I know. It's contagious. So... Yeah. Also, yeah, if you see messy perps in the space, just just don't hang around too long. It's contagious.
[1:58:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I do have a question. Do the base MFers, like, play nice with, like, the other MFer, like, the OGM MFers? Like, is that is that, like, you guys all, like, are one?
[1:58:51] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: We... MFers, we're not that way. You can right click save Maya mappers. So what the fuck do we care about derivatives?
[1:59:00] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, but I'm saying, do you accept them as as equals?
[1:59:03] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Yeah. Like, the... But that's my point. Like, my PIP in and of itself, you can right click save. I mean, you'll catch a bunch of blocks. I wouldn't do it, do you? But, like, we're not protective of our whatever. So we all vibe with whatever derivative and support them. I have a bunch of base and uppers and everything else.
[1:59:22] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, well, that's good to know.
[1:59:23] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: I like that. But just just to... In case... Empress is stuck in the stone age, look... But nobody right clicks anymore. You long press save on the phone. Okay? Long press,
[1:59:34] Bread @_ToastMalone: tap save.
[1:59:35] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: It's called leveling up. I just buy the shit, so I don't do it anymore. That... That's that's the thing.
[1:59:41] meta8.eth @EthmojiPunks: Oh, not I'm not at that level yet. Sorry. Yeah.
[1:59:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: You just literally... Like, you literally just... You almost just more money than God did it just now, so be careful. She was close. Okay. No.
[1:59:58] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: I have to...
[1:59:59] Landy @CryptoLandy: Before we move on, I have to I have to laugh because the the the the OG collection, I right click and save the shit out of it, and I just put it in the... In a folder called m f or archive. Say... Start changing. I literally have a doc in here that says start changing PFP to random MFer from archive in 2025, and I never did it.
[2:00:28] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: Fucking ridiculous. Yeah.
[2:00:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: I'm a... I'm gonna say goodbye now, and then I'm gonna I'm gonna mute everybody while I do that. And I don't know who's
[2:00:39] 𝑬𝑴𝑷𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈⋮ @Hope_ology: good.... Money. Okay.
[2:00:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: You can do it now. Fuck's sake. I... Maybe I shouldn't telegraph it. Man, that that
[2:00:43] Landy @CryptoLandy: was Order
[2:00:44] Bread @_ToastMalone: Chinese food.
[2:00:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Okay. You guys wanna just get it out now because, you know, I'm a lurk... Like, I hate... Not before. Let me just get it... Let me just think about it. Thank you. Goodbye. Great. Thank Thank you for people on sidekick. Cool. Love you, buddy. Landy, Adam, thank you. Appreciate you. M m f... Oh my god. There's so many m f's. There's literally an m f c k r that's up here. Lily, that's my boy motherfucker. From the ENS days. Oh my god. Meta eight is like a big fucking reunion up here. Shout out, yo, Brad. Appreciate you. Sunny d as always. Meta beast, I know you're gonna try some fucking let's go fucking stuff. AGT, you gave me your best shot? Hey. I hope somebody goes to mint a couple of these Injecta things. And everybody, obviously, and the listeners, thank you for coming through. Happy hump day. Here comes the mute button, and let's see who maybe draws. Anyone? Anyone? Let's
[2:01:33] Landy @CryptoLandy: go fucking.
[2:01:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, for fuck's sake, Landy. Goddamn it. Have a good fucking night. Empress, thank you very much. Yeah. Empress wins MVP today, fuckers. Step your game up. Chinese food. Fucking bread. Peace.
[2:01:49] Dave @DCBK2LA: And it's... Let's go fucking.
