2:51
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Oh,

S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)

S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
My DMs.
4:47
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You better come get your man.
4:49
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
If you wanna be way more than friends.
4:51
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
What?
4:52
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Way more than friends.
4:53
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
What time are they to say?
4:55
S… Speaker 2 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You're not full.
5:24
S… Speaker 4 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Good morning,
5:25
S… Speaker 3 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
everybody.
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Good evening.
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Good afternoon.
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I don't know where you are in the world,
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but wherever you are,
5:37
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
welcome to Chronically Unchained.
5:40
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Today, we have Sam.
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Sam is an old friend.
5:44
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
He's been talking about this and building this for such a
5:49
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
long time,
5:49
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and I'm really happy that...
5:52
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Pocket Dragons is finally seeing the light of day.
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
They are putting so much effort into everything.
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
The visuals,
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the videos,
6:00
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
none of that is AI generated.
6:02
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Everything is being super intentional,
6:05
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and I know that for a fact.
6:06
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But before we talk about all of that,
6:08
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Sam,
6:09
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
welcome.
6:10
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Who are you as a person before being the founder
6:14
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
of Pocket Dragons?
6:15
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And then how did you decide to create this project and bring
6:20
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
it on chain?
6:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Hello, Mariana.
6:23
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Yes, we've been chatting for well over a year now about
6:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Pocket Dragons,
6:28
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but a little bit of an insight into my life.
6:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I am a DJ still for many,
6:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
many years.
6:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I've been super fortunate in the DJ world to travel around,
6:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
play in front of the big crowds and all your favourite artists.
6:40
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I still DJ to this day a couple of times a year at festivals,
6:44
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but most of my time is spent building Pocket Dragons.
6:48
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I am Australian,
6:49
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
so if my accent is not clear...
6:52
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Always hard to understand.
6:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I apologize in advance.
6:54
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And the final thing I'll say is I've been in crypto for 10 years.
6:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I've seen everything,
6:59
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you know, the ups and downs,
7:00
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the meme coins,
7:01
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the ICOs and everything in between.
7:04
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And the reason why I'm building Pocket Dragons is for this sort of,
7:08
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
for this reason,
7:09
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
is because I got sick of scams.
7:11
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I got sick of low quality effort.
7:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And the NFT bar is very low,
7:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I believe.
7:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And it's an interesting time.
7:18
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
um so i thought you know what last year let's put a team together let's build
7:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
something long term and then into the room pocket dragons i
7:27
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
love that i love that i love um i
7:31
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
love that you dj i love that you've been in crypto for such a long time i
7:35
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
mean i think it's a nice contrast to have to do something and
7:39
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
read life and meet actual people and then also most of your time spend your
7:44
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
days locked in on a computer screen
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
creating digital assets.
7:49
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Super,
7:50
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
super, super cool contrast.
7:51
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I think both are needed.
7:52
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Getting started,
7:56
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you guys have been building pocket dragons for a long time.
7:58
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
How did you even get the idea of dragons,
8:01
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
pocket dragons?
8:02
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
How did it all start?
8:04
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Tell me the story.
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I want to know the entire story.
8:08
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Yeah, I guess this is how I sort of met Mariano,
8:11
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
if people are wondering.
8:12
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But I sort of found abstract early last
8:17
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
year, I would say.
8:18
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And it was a very popular chain at that time.
8:21
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Things were popping off.
8:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And the whole concept of their platform made total sense
8:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to me.
8:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
People still to this day think it's dead and so on and so forth.
8:29
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But I've been in crypto long enough to know that people just jump from the hot topic
8:33
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
per se.
8:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And as long as the...
8:36
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
projects have enough funds,
8:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
they'll just keep building until their time is to shine.
8:40
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And I feel like I know what Abstract's trying to achieve,
8:43
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
so there's definitely no hate for me,
8:44
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
from my side of view,
8:45
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
for Abstract.
8:46
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But that's where it started with Pocket Dragons.
8:48
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I met someone there,
8:50
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and then this project started off as quokkas,
8:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
of all things,
8:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
because I'm like, what is a cute animal?
8:55
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But then I realised,
8:56
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
if you guys don't know what quokkas are...
8:57
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
They are a dirty animal actually in Perth,
9:00
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Australia, but they're the ones that smile.
9:02
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So if you've ever seen a selfie with a celebrity and you look up like smiling animal,
9:06
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you'll most likely see these little quokkas and they're on this island there.
9:09
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So it started with that idea and then it snowballed into many AI art
9:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
back then and trying to figure out where we could fill a hole.
9:16
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You know, penguins have been done,
9:17
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
tigers have been done,
9:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
bears have been done.
9:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And I'm like,
9:20
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you know what, I haven't seen a good dragon project.
9:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So it started back then and then...
9:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to cut a long story short,
9:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I guess, would be we've done the NFT art four times.
9:32
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We've gone through somewhere between five to 10 different artists.
9:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I've gone through multiple developers through this whole process
9:39
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
because, not because they're bad,
9:41
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but it's not easy to work for Pocket Dragons,
9:44
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I would say.
9:45
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We are a team of four and we live and breathe Pocket
9:49
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Dragons.
9:50
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So I understand people have kids and family and lives outside of this.
9:54
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It's just they're not built,
9:55
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
they're not made for Pocket Dragons to be on part of that team.
9:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So we work seven days a week,
9:59
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
all of it.
10:00
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We are all locked in in regards to Pocket Dragons.
10:02
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And we really want to build a premium project and bring it to market
10:07
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
instead of the,
10:08
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I guess,
10:09
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the norm that you see out there in the NFT world.
10:11
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So we're trying something different.
10:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We have Goodwin,
10:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
who is a 3D animator.
10:16
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So none of our animations are AI generated,
10:20
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
all done from a 3D animator.
10:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
If he was living in America,
10:24
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
he'd probably be working for Disney.
10:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And if someone hasn't checked out our latest trailer,
10:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Basically, that went live about two hours ago.
10:32
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You can have a look at his work there.
10:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Very, very solid guy.
10:36
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We also have Hearty,
10:38
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
which I believe he could be in this space,
10:40
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but he might be busy as well.
10:41
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
No, I see his name there.
10:42
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
He is from America.
10:44
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
He also pretty much has his bed in his computer room and the community man.
10:48
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
He's literally locked in 18 hours a day,
10:50
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
sleeps for the other six or however many hours are left,
10:54
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and then doesn't even get to see his fiancée or girlfriend.
10:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
uh that much so he works like crazy and we're very lucky to have him and
11:03
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
then we have tj who is a developer could have worked for amazon
11:07
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but decided to build pocket dragons with me he was a chess champion at
11:11
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the age of five uh and he's an absolute freak at ai so we have the
11:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
team we need for now we don't need more people due to the fact that a
11:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
small team means less expenses and that means we don't have to extract from
11:23
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the community and we have a big big plan uh internally
11:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
where we have a 12 -month roadmap even after Mint.
11:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We know exactly what we're posting for the next foreseeable future.
11:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We know the captions.
11:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We have a storyline.
11:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We know what we're deploying.
11:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We have multiple activations.
11:39
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
All these things have been pre -planned for a whole year,
11:41
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and we look forward to showcasing a lot of that to you guys as
11:45
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the weeks go on,
11:46
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and we want to earn people's trust,
11:48
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
earn people's respect,
11:49
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and this takes time.
11:51
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And if you have been into Pocket Dragons and gone through the experience of the 3D
11:55
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Hatchery and things of this nature,
11:57
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you can see that we want to build an experience where you can enjoy it,
12:01
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
it's more memorable,
12:02
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and there's a bit of love and care that has been taking place.
12:05
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We also,
12:06
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to add on to this,
12:07
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
understand crypto.
12:09
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We understand crypto markets.
12:10
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We understand people don't just want necessarily to collect,
12:14
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but we want to hit every mark possible that makes sense for a crypto person to come
12:18
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
in.
12:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
whether they want to invest or whether they like the IP or whether they do want to just collect.
12:23
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We want to hit all those marks all at once.
12:25
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So it's been a long year.
12:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I can say it's not easy to build something of this quality.
12:31
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There's a reason why people don't do 3D.
12:33
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There's a reason why people do quick,
12:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
short bursts and then disappear into the sunset.
12:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So we've spent a lot of love and care,
12:39
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
all self -funded by yours truly,
12:42
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I guess.
12:42
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And we are thinking long -term for this project and really want to make
12:46
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
a dent in the NFT world.
12:51
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Sam, for those who don't know,
12:52
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
what chain are the NFTs going to be on?
12:55
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
What have you guys already revealed when
12:59
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
it comes to anything related to this NFT?
13:02
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And yeah,
13:03
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
just those technicalities first.
13:05
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So for all those who don't really know and are new to the ecosystem
13:09
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
so that they know what's already out there.
13:14
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Yeah, so in regards to Chain,
13:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we haven't announced that,
13:16
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but just know we are looking at your popular
13:20
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
ones like your Robinhood and Ethereum and things of this nature.
13:24
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I'll just leave it open -ended for now.
13:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We don't really want to say too much,
13:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but again,
13:29
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we're holding that close to our chest to a degree.
13:32
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But just understand we understand narratives and things of this nature.
13:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
In regards to what we've revealed,
13:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we are doing this sporadically.
13:39
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Obviously, if we told everyone here everything on day one,
13:43
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and showed all of our animations and all of our all of our cards and everyone will be bored
13:47
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
like they're like okay this is all done what's next what's next so obviously we've done this
13:51
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
purposely uh in a way where it's staggered out over a period of
13:55
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
time but we also want to make it into a story like you don't go see a movie and
13:59
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and like you don't just watch the trailer
14:01
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
of a movie and go yep i've seen it that's enough i know i know pretty much the ending on what's going
14:05
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to happen uh you go to the movie you experience it you don't want to know the ending you want
14:09
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to enjoy the journey so that's exactly what we're going through currently at the moment um
14:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
in regards to more reveals as we've been pretty uh holds
14:17
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the cards close to our chest currently
14:20
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
The reason for this,
14:21
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
again, is that whole storyline -driven thing.
14:23
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But just know we have probably released only 5 % of what
14:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we have planned.
14:28
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We have a lot more up our sleeve.
14:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And just for more context,
14:31
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we haven't bought any KOLs.
14:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It's all organic.
14:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It's all through contacts.
14:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We,
14:38
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I guess...
14:42
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We haven't fully activated everything,
14:44
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but again,
14:45
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
this all takes time with building trust because everyone's been screwed over in this space too
14:49
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
many times.
14:50
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And just know that we understand what people want.
14:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I've been in crypto 10 years,
14:54
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
so don't just think this is a quick flip project.
14:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So that's a long...
15:00
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
way winded way of saying chain unknown but we know what what is popular and where
15:04
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we could sit and what we revealed is very little other than 3d animations and
15:08
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and things of this nature that's awesome
15:13
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to hear you know because lately most of the most people
15:17
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
have been getting cooked on multiple projects they've been minting
15:22
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
stuff getting listening to promises and then and then getting
15:26
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
literally cooked but
15:28
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You guys have been here for a long time and you have put your face on that as
15:32
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
well. So we've seen,
15:34
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
for those who don't know,
15:35
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Sam has been hopping on one -on -one calls with so many people,
15:39
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
with so many other founders,
15:41
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
with so many creators,
15:43
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
community members.
15:44
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So you have been putting in a lot of time to connect with your community
15:48
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
as well.
15:49
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And I know Hardy's been doing a great job.
15:50
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
The entire team has been putting a lot of effort into that.
15:53
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But you specifically as a founder.
15:56
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You haven't been doing that silent,
15:58
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
hard -to -reach type of persona,
16:02
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but you've been actually talking to your people.
16:04
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
How has this been getting received from the community?
16:08
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Have they been happy about it?
16:10
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
In your opinion,
16:13
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
has this been worth it in general?
16:17
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I mean, I've always found it funny with community building or like even founders.
16:21
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I understand founders are busy.
16:23
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I definitely understand that because you're trying to put out fires,
16:25
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you're trying to build things,
16:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you're trying to grow things and you don't want to micromanage everyone to a degree either.
16:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
At the same time,
16:31
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I've never understood because at the end of the day,
16:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you have a product and especially early stages,
16:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you...
16:38
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You need to build trust within the community.
16:40
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You just need to know what do they hate,
16:42
S… Speaker 6 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
what do they love.
16:43
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like I'm literally in there most days.
16:45
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And again, I don't know if people get sick of it,
16:46
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but like I'm replying to people.
16:47
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I'm doing tickets.
16:48
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I'm literally having one -on -one phone calls,
16:50
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
like you said, because it just makes sense.
16:52
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like there shouldn't be some sort of hierarchy.
16:55
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I'm not a fan of like titles either.
16:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like, you know,
16:59
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
someone has someone's a CEO and someone's this,
17:01
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
someone's that.
17:02
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It's more so like even within our team,
17:04
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
like everyone is the same.
17:05
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We're all equal.
17:06
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like I'm not better than anyone else and neither are they.
17:08
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So I always found it interesting why founders don't get involved in
17:12
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
regards to the community.
17:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I like doing it.
17:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I get to know people.
17:16
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And from the ground up,
17:17
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you can find out,
17:18
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
okay, what's not working?
17:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
What's wrong?
17:20
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like where can we improve?
17:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And I think that's a given,
17:24
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
especially when you're doing a startup this early on.
17:25
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So I think it's great for community building.
17:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Again, the community...
17:28
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
themselves can answer if it's a bad or good thing.
17:33
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But I enjoy it.
17:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I think it's a better way to go about it and build trust over a period of time.
17:38
S… Speaker 3 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Absolutely,
17:41
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
dude.
17:41
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I mean, when people trust you as a person,
17:44
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you know, today I watched a reel on Instagram
17:49
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
of a girl that was talking about the importance of founders
17:53
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
being present.
17:54
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And she was like,
17:55
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
She was giving this example,
17:57
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and I'm going to post something about this later,
17:59
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but I need to say it in this space.
18:01
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And I think everybody is going to really enjoy this thing,
18:04
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and you've been doing that,
18:06
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
which is, imagine your sister had a
18:10
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
cookie brand,
18:11
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and then another stranger had a cookie brand.
18:13
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Nine times out of ten,
18:15
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you're more likely to buy a cookie from your sister's brand rather
18:19
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
than the stranger,
18:20
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
because you know your sister,
18:21
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you want to support her,
18:22
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you love her.
18:23
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Even if that stranger has potentially a little bit,
18:27
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
like the stranger's cookies are a little bit better,
18:29
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but you still want to support your sister because you're emotionally attached to her.
18:33
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You emotionally love your sister and you emotionally know that this is a
18:37
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
person that you want to support.
18:38
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And it's the absolute same when it comes to founders.
18:42
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
In crypto and outside of crypto,
18:43
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
like in business in general,
18:44
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
if a founder,
18:45
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
if you know the person that is building a brand,
18:47
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you're definitely more likely to support them when
18:52
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you know them rather than when it's just a person that doesn't want
18:56
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
anything to do with you and they're just tweeting from a
19:00
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
logo and never like posting from the personal accounts.
19:03
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So you being here on Spaces and you just speaking
19:07
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to those people is very important in my opinion.
19:10
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Yeah, I just want to touch on that a little bit actually because it's really well said.
19:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There's a reason you sort of buy,
19:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
people buy from a story or not the product itself.
19:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So like even if it's your sister or whatever it may be,
19:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you don't literally buy like the cookie itself because it necessarily tastes good.
19:26
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But there's a reason why when you see influencers with like millions of followers and
19:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you can tell if they're disconnected from their community because if they promote something,
19:33
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
no one buys it,
19:34
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
right? But you can have someone with like a thousand followers.
19:37
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but they're so engaged in their community that people will purchase because of that story.
19:41
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Now, I'm not here to tell people to purchase the Pocket Dragons or anything like this,
19:44
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but it just goes to show you when you build a true community,
19:47
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
a loyal community where everyone is part of it,
19:51
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
they feel like we're moving forward,
19:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we've got a movement,
19:54
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
that's where you see real change.
19:56
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And this is what we're trying to do with the NFT world because everyone's just jumping.
20:00
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
from project to project because it's not their fault.
20:02
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
You can't blame people going,
20:04
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
okay, we're going to do this project and then we're going to leave in one day.
20:08
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It's sort of the founder's fault because we're not giving them a reason to stick around.
20:11
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There's no reason to hold this NFT.
20:13
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There's no reason to stay around with that community because you don't care.
20:17
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So we're going a different route.
20:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We're trying to build emotional connection with the dragons.
20:21
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We have a story.
20:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We want to build a community where people feel wanted and seen.
20:25
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And then also utility.
20:27
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I don't want you just to hold the collectible,
20:29
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
the NFT, and just be like,
20:30
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
cool, this looks great.
20:31
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But what does it do for you?
20:32
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
How does it make your life better?
20:33
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
What upside do you have?
20:35
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like, take away the financial side.
20:36
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
What else can it do for me?
20:38
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So we're trying to hit all these markers across the board,
20:40
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and that ties back to what,
20:41
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Mariana, you just said with the whole cookies thing.
20:43
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So there's a reason why we do everything.
20:48
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Exactly.
20:48
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It makes sense.
20:50
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And it's even going to make more sense as AI in this age continues
20:54
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to grow and develop and this technology keeps on taking over because it's going to be
20:58
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
so easy to build a product,
21:01
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
right?
21:01
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
It's going to be so easy to build a product.
21:03
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
The only thing we have left as human beings is just like taste and
21:07
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
creativity and coming up with things without basing ourselves on
21:11
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
references like AI does.
21:12
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So there's going to be so many people trying to build things.
21:17
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
uh trying out and it's easier to actually build those things now so the
21:21
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
only thing we have left is emotional connection um
21:25
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
i'm currently reading a book called the most it's it's called the marketing rebellion
21:29
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and then the sub headline is the most human company will win and
21:33
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
it's a book from 2018 and we were they were talking about
21:37
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
all these rebellions and how genuinely
21:42
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
The only company and the only founder that's ever gonna be able to succeed in this day
21:46
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
and age as technology keeps on advancing is the one that's very human and Honestly,
21:50
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you guys are really
21:52
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
As I can see,
21:53
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
at least,
21:54
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
you guys are prioritizing community a lot.
21:56
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And I've loved the website experience.
21:58
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
I've participated in it to experience the whole thing.
22:01
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Everything is very high quality.
22:03
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And it shows that you're not just using sloppy technology
22:07
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
to just get the thing going,
22:09
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but you're actually putting in a lot of effort and a lot of creative effort into
22:14
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
building everything here.
22:15
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So other than...
22:18
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Other than what we have now and a lot of things that are going to be revealed,
22:21
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
when people come into Pocket Dragons,
22:25
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
a very important question is,
22:28
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
who is this for?
22:29
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Like, who are the people that would enjoy Pocket Dragons the most?
22:32
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Is it the artists?
22:34
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Is it the gamers?
22:35
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Is it collectors?
22:36
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Who are you trying to talk to?
22:38
S… Speaker 1 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And what is it that they can expect when joining this community?
22:45
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
yeah i mean obviously ideally like we have to separate it for stages
22:49
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
or phases that we call internally because right now like what is our audience
22:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
in uh twitter or x i should say is most people are here and
22:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
let's just be fully transparent is it's a crypto crowd they're looking for financial upside
23:02
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
or like an NFT project to get into.
23:05
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
That's probably step one.
23:06
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So that's our core audience for now.
23:07
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We definitely want to pivot to more so the IP collectors side
23:12
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
of things.
23:12
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And there is collectors within the NFT space.
23:14
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There definitely is.
23:15
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And like people have seen this with this Adam Wiseman guy and there's multiple other people
23:19
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
that actually like collecting.
23:21
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
They like the look of the art.
23:22
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
They're very proud of these digital collectibles.
23:24
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
And that is definitely a route where we're going to push.
23:28
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We also want to go deeper and a bit further than just in the Web3
23:32
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
space.
23:32
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
Now, everyone in here knows because they've all probably been burnt or some way,
23:36
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
shape or form from an investment standpoint.
23:38
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
But what happens is you buy
23:42
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
a project and then you'll be left holding these NFTs and then it doesn't do anything for you.
23:46
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
There's no utilities,
23:46
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
no these things,
23:47
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
right? So,
23:48
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
obviously,
23:49
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
we're trying to build more of an IP brand and that takes a little bit longer than a quick
23:53
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
little flip situation.
23:55
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
So I would say our core audience is crypto and Web3,
23:58
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
but we want to pivot from that to go outside of that.
24:01
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
We want people to come and,
24:03
S… Speaker 5 (space_72a72cb086704df59d9cb781e6a7afc9)
as an example,
