The Starving Artist's Guide to NFTs

WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.040 Can you believe they sponsor this show? Like, don't they read through the 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:09.070 transcripts and see how many times I say fuck and how little I care about 3 00:00:09.789 --> 00:00:26.899 corporatism? Jesus Christ, play some of that rock music. Well, Hey, 4 00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:31.820 welcome back. It's the Friday after Thanksgiving, you know, the long 5 00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:37.009 holiday weekend in America. How are you? I hope you survived. Well, 6 00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:43.210 clearly you did survive. You're here. So Hey, now what's up? 7 00:00:47.770 --> 00:00:52.240 Yeah, so I got an email from my podcast hosts, sounder DOT 8 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.240 FM, and it said change of terms, blah, blah, blah. 9 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.520 We've now turned on monetization by default. You have to go turn it off 10 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.230 if you don't want to. It's for whatever, like what the fuck cheese? 11 00:01:08.069 --> 00:01:12.950 So it turned out to be easier to turn on the ads then to 12 00:01:14.069 --> 00:01:19.299 turn them off. So we'll see. I'll let the ADS play. I 13 00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:22.739 don't know what fucking ads play before this show or after the show. I 14 00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:26.900 have nothing to do with that. I just know that if enough of them 15 00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:30.019 play, they'll give me some money and I can pay to fucking host the 16 00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:36.010 podcast. So the podcast will then pay for itself. If the ads bother 17 00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:38.930 you, let me know. We're for free to make fun of all these 18 00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:44.250 fucking companies. I heard the gap, I heard a McDonald's AD. You 19 00:01:44.329 --> 00:01:49.040 know, fuck all those companies whatever. So it's fine, just let it 20 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.959 go. The old thing I didn't like ads because I listened to podcast in 21 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.239 the car and the particular car I use has really crappy interface. I'm into 22 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.670 good interfaces. Well, this one there's no fast forward in ten seconds or 23 00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:07.509 thirty seconds. It's there's one fast forward button and it goes completely to the 24 00:02:07.629 --> 00:02:14.030 next episode. So if I'm two thirds the way into an episode and I 25 00:02:14.229 --> 00:02:17.060 think the back button will take me ten seconds back because I missed something, 26 00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:21.300 no, it takes me all the way back to the fucking Intro, like 27 00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:25.219 God damn it. So I don't like ads for that reason because I don't 28 00:02:25.259 --> 00:02:31.729 know how to skip them in my listening environment. But apparently most people have 29 00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:37.250 a little skip button. So if you hear an ad, just fast forward 30 00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:39.330 through or something whatever. It's not like anything I say is that important. 31 00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:46.360 Anyway, I digress. Today I'm talking about so yeah, I've been talking 32 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.080 about the past few episodes and FT's, which probably dry and you fucking crazy. 33 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.800 I know when it's you know, like a topic on Saturday night live 34 00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:01.669 and probably half the dinner tables in America whatever. So I apologize if it 35 00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:07.270 sounds like over and again. So I won't talk about them as much, 36 00:03:07.389 --> 00:03:12.270 but I do like talking to the artist who create them, and there's you 37 00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:17.020 know, there's plenty of artists creating nfts that have mental illness in their history, 38 00:03:17.259 --> 00:03:21.060 so that's kind of cool. There's tons of people I can have on 39 00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:23.500 the podcast now. That makes it a little exciting for me, and you 40 00:03:23.659 --> 00:03:28.129 right, but I have to apologize to my friends, my real life friends 41 00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:31.210 and a couple of my friends on twitter who have been harassing to make their 42 00:03:31.289 --> 00:03:36.889 art into nfts. I Apologize, like you. Nobody you don't have to 43 00:03:36.969 --> 00:03:42.759 turn your art into nfts. And there are some downsides to the NFT world, 44 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.800 as I call it, like especially nft twitter, and we'll get into 45 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.360 those in just a minute, because I know when I edit some of these 46 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.639 podcasts they say things like Oh, what's not to like about nfts? Well, 47 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.229 speaking in context, what I'm talking about there is the mechanics of locking 48 00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:03.750 your art onto the blockchain and getting royalties from it whenever anybody wants to buy 49 00:04:03.789 --> 00:04:08.710 it into the future. That's the pure context. But now there's so much 50 00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:14.860 toxic behavior on nft twitter and that's where you have to go, particularly to 51 00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:18.420 sell your art. But let's back up a little bit, because the title 52 00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:24.220 of this episode is basically nft for starving artist, so we need to get 53 00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:29.569 back to the origin of that statement here. So here's what's up and a 54 00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:33.089 little background. The idea that anybody can put their art up and lock it 55 00:04:33.250 --> 00:04:40.879 down and profit from it is amazing. The problem, though, not anybody 56 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.959 can do that, and a lot of people that are making nft's are pretty 57 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:53.629 privileged and they don't understand how many people maybe are left behind already simply because 58 00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:59.029 they don't have the very necessities of life, let alone a tablet and a 59 00:04:59.069 --> 00:05:03.149 stylust or a computer or, you know, away calm fucking IPAD. You 60 00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:08.139 know, pick your pick your tool. These things all cost money. Oh, 61 00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:11.420 and electricity. That means you have to have a place to live that 62 00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:15.860 has power, that's turned on, and none of that makes a difference if 63 00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:19.500 you don't have any food because you're hungry and you have to steal food from 64 00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:25.449 the grocery store. You following me? Not Going to get too dark just 65 00:05:25.610 --> 00:05:29.410 to start reality. So my heart is kind of near and dear to those 66 00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:33.370 underdogs, or also people that kind of society has forgotten, because when I 67 00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:38.800 was young, like thirteen, fourteen years old, I was kicked out completely. 68 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.879 I had nowhere else left to live, so I bounced from home to 69 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.160 home forevermore until I got in my like twenty, twenty one year old, 70 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.269 got married, started off, got lucky, you know, had a good 71 00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:54.110 life for a while, that kind of thing. So that was all good, 72 00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:58.550 but my heart's always been out there for people that are just been shunned 73 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:02.149 or just kicked out, scapegoaded, however you want to frame it, from 74 00:06:02.149 --> 00:06:06.579 their families, from their lives, whether they already had a mental illness or 75 00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:14.060 whether that situation, being abandoned like that or neglected, caused a mental illness. 76 00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:16.980 It doesn't really matter, because you get locked into the same cycle regardless 77 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:21.290 and it takes a lot to break out. Fortunately I broke out. So 78 00:06:21.410 --> 00:06:26.009 I always had the idea that I should give back, like because I'm like 79 00:06:26.050 --> 00:06:27.889 yeah, I made it through, I can give back. So I worked 80 00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:30.329 in Juven Hall when I was younger for like five years, worked as a 81 00:06:30.490 --> 00:06:35.000 as an activities coordinator there, and then most recently I was the director of 82 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.959 a nonprofit, what they call hotel in San Francisco, and that place had 83 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.759 a hundred and sixty apartment units in it, and in each of those, 84 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.310 well, I'd say eighty percent of them were people that were, for lack 85 00:06:48.350 --> 00:06:53.709 of a better term, crazy, mentally ill of some sort, fresh out 86 00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:57.829 of homelessness. So they hadn't been taught how to live in a home or 87 00:06:57.870 --> 00:07:00.189 a homed environment, in shelter. They didn't know how to live in shelter. 88 00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:06.300 And you sprinkling about twenty percent of people who were able to tolerate that 89 00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:12.259 environment just to live in a cheap spot, in a killer location in downtown 90 00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:17.250 San Francisco, which otherwise cost a fortune. But by living and working in 91 00:07:17.490 --> 00:07:21.689 that hotel, man, I saw so many stories and heard so many, 92 00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:27.649 you know, vibrant lives, share what they had to give that are not 93 00:07:27.889 --> 00:07:30.839 being captured, will never be captured, and that just leads me to think. 94 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.279 Imagine all of the senior citizens right now who live alone. They don't 95 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.439 know how to capture a name of this, but they want to express they 96 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.279 have art inside them waiting to come out, but they have no way to 97 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.389 get it out because they don't have the funds that are on fixed income. 98 00:07:45.509 --> 00:07:47.310 They you know, any little bit of income over a certain amount they have 99 00:07:47.389 --> 00:07:50.910 to report and then they lose their government funding and it's just the whole shit 100 00:07:50.990 --> 00:07:55.350 show. These people are kind of locked into a fucked up lifestyle and they 101 00:07:55.430 --> 00:08:00.259 have no way to create. Yet they have lifetime decades and decades, and 102 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:03.980 there's we're talking people from like sixty, seventy, eighty up towards of ninety 103 00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:09.740 years old. Some are even older, that have so much art and creation 104 00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:13.170 stuck in their soul that they could get out that they're not able to. 105 00:08:13.569 --> 00:08:18.050 So I think it's kind of incombent upon us that do have the means, 106 00:08:18.089 --> 00:08:22.209 or are generating the means through our you know, crappy new gifts and pet 107 00:08:22.290 --> 00:08:26.879 J pegs, maybe to help on board some of the people who have absolutely 108 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.159 nothing. So for sure that means setting up, you know, classrooms and 109 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.960 places where there are computers for people to use or even take home or give 110 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.080 them, you know, tablets and things like that. Just needs to be 111 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.350 organized. But man, if there was a nonprofit that was specifically geared toward 112 00:08:43.789 --> 00:08:46.429 getting the poorest of poor people with the right gear in their hands and the 113 00:08:46.509 --> 00:08:50.149 connections and, you know, teach them how to on board, on to 114 00:08:50.269 --> 00:08:54.549 open see or object or wherever, and just show them how to do it 115 00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:58.860 and then give them grants so they can fund a wallet for a little bit, 116 00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.700 teach them how to buy art, how to sell their art and those 117 00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:07.980 kind of things. That's as a huge audience we're missing right now. It's 118 00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:11.570 people that just aren't on computers right now. To begin with. Those people 119 00:09:11.570 --> 00:09:16.330 all have art inside of them. That's far more valuable than somebody who just 120 00:09:16.450 --> 00:09:20.929 picked up a tablet in the stylus three months ago and started drawing Jay pigs. 121 00:09:22.289 --> 00:09:26.200 It's just not possible to have tenzero hours of experience in six months. 122 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.799 So just two heads up. That's going to be kind of ongoing theme. 123 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.559 Like what do we do about the poor people? What do we do about 124 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.789 the poor people? How do we help the poor people get their computers together 125 00:09:37.909 --> 00:09:41.909 and get their, you know, creative setups going so that they can start 126 00:09:41.950 --> 00:09:46.950 creating the art, telling the stories? I'm sure they've got poetry, they've 127 00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:50.029 got painting that could be digitized, you know, real life painting that we 128 00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:52.379 could take photos of. They've got cameras. We can give them cameras. 129 00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:56.980 They can take pictures of things of their lives. There's so many things that 130 00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:03.379 would just enrich the Internet, enrich web three, if we just had better 131 00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:07.090 access for them and to on board people with absolutely nothing. I'm not talking 132 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:13.769 about poor folks that use Tz I'm talking about people that don't have any money 133 00:10:13.809 --> 00:10:16.929 to put into a wallet, to even open a bank account, to get 134 00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:20.409 a coin base account, you know, those kind of folks. We need 135 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.080 to help those people and in my mind I can envision it all the way 136 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.360 through the end. It seems pretty straightforward and I may actually turn Emo Dojo 137 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.309 from like a drum Dojo to and nft on boarding Dojo where it's just a 138 00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:45.669 nonprofit that exists to on board super poor people into the NFT world. Let 139 00:10:45.750 --> 00:10:52.860 me think about it. All right, this next part is for artists of 140 00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:58.259 you that have a couple hundred bucks that want to try to get into NFT's 141 00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:07.529 that's easy. Wait, let me clarify. It's simple. It's not easy 142 00:11:07.409 --> 00:11:13.090 because there's some mental gymnastics that go on in the nft world. So it 143 00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:18.159 is simple, but don't get carried away. I think I've described earlier. 144 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.919 Or you can figure out how to get involve with the you know, the 145 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:28.000 setting up the thing. Basically just put a couple hundred bucks into a etherory 146 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.639 and wallet or a Tes Wallet. I've tried out this new money. It's 147 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.070 called Tz because it doesn't the transaction cost are next to nothing, whereas the 148 00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:43.909 transaction cost using etherium can be upwards of a hundred hundred fifty bucks just for 149 00:11:43.990 --> 00:11:48.340 the transaction cost. Even if the item only cost five dollars, the transactions 150 00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:52.259 a hundred and fifty bucks. So here's a some things right from the beginning. 151 00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:56.980 If you're an artist and you want to get involved, I would recommend 152 00:11:56.860 --> 00:12:03.409 following the music industry into the teszs coin. So get a tes Os Wallet, 153 00:12:05.210 --> 00:12:09.049 you know, put like fifty bucks on there. Go Get yourself a 154 00:12:09.169 --> 00:12:13.169 dot tes name. You can just, you know, Google Dot tes domains 155 00:12:13.210 --> 00:12:20.480 or tess domains, tesz Os is Tezos, and then go to a place 156 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:30.470 like objectcom, oh B J Katiecom, you know, kind of clever way 157 00:12:30.509 --> 00:12:35.029 of spell it object, and get you a little account set up. And 158 00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:39.750 it's basically as simple as like any other social media platform is. You simply 159 00:12:39.789 --> 00:12:45.580 upload a JPEG or a gift or a little small, you know, movie 160 00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:48.899 five I'Le and it could be anything. Could be you, you know, 161 00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:54.100 dancing in your living room. It could be a logo you designed, could 162 00:12:54.139 --> 00:12:56.179 be a guitar riff you just played. I don't know. Anything. You 163 00:12:56.259 --> 00:13:01.730 want to like lock into eternity on the blockchain, basically, and that's the 164 00:13:01.809 --> 00:13:05.649 fun part. So basically, the hardest part is just getting set up, 165 00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:09.330 and what you're set up, you can put your postep now. The second 166 00:13:09.409 --> 00:13:16.399 hardest part is promoting or even having to be on social media, twitter, 167 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:22.000 for example. So the idea that makes crypto and blockchain in particular so awesome 168 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.990 is that the technology is decentralized. That means no one party isn't charge of 169 00:13:30.750 --> 00:13:33.429 the technology. Everybody is in charge of it, everybody can see it, 170 00:13:35.509 --> 00:13:41.700 and that whole thing's great, very transparent. However, decentralized does not mean 171 00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:48.820 democratic and it doesn't mean fair. It just means the software is decentralized and 172 00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:54.059 it also means everything's transparent. So you think that would make there be less 173 00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:58.850 crime. However, that's not the case either. There's no more or less 174 00:13:58.929 --> 00:14:03.929 crime in Crypto, in the blockchain world than there is in real life. 175 00:14:03.330 --> 00:14:07.129 We're dealing with the same humans here. So humans in the real life. 176 00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:11.440 You know, ten percent of the time they turn out to be criminals. 177 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.600 Same thing in the crypto world. Ten percent of the time someone's running a 178 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.279 fraud out there, a pyramid scheme, you know, pumping up their stupid 179 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.200 profile picture, get everybody to spend a bunch of money on and then just 180 00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:26.070 you know, that's it. Taking your money by those are all. That's 181 00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:28.750 all, it's all I was doing. That's the whole trick by and so 182 00:14:28.909 --> 00:14:33.870 the people who do that are actually investors. They're like day traders back in 183 00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:39.100 thecom days. They got into Crypto, they have extra money to spend and 184 00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:43.740 they're just having fun making more money, basically. So, as an artist, 185 00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:46.620 avoid all of those people. You're not there for this. You're not. 186 00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:52.490 You're not starting NFT's to get rich right now. You're starting and FT's 187 00:14:52.610 --> 00:14:56.889 to get started. Just start. This is like when the Internet first started. 188 00:14:58.450 --> 00:15:01.769 This is that all over again, and FT's are just starting. So 189 00:15:01.929 --> 00:15:05.889 just go start locking down your stuff and getting used to the tools. Don't 190 00:15:05.929 --> 00:15:11.559 get involved with the profile pick projects. The PFP's is they're called board apes, 191 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.360 punks all that. Those are day traders. Those are wealthy people trading 192 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.830 visual examples of their wealth. That makes sense. In other words, it's 193 00:15:20.830 --> 00:15:24.429 not for you. If you think like that's what you're trying to sell to 194 00:15:26.669 --> 00:15:28.389 that I mean, I would even think of selling your art at this point. 195 00:15:28.429 --> 00:15:33.590 I would just think of learning the mechanics of locking the shit into the 196 00:15:33.669 --> 00:15:39.139 blockchain, because that way, if and when somebody comes around to decides your 197 00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:41.259 s it is cool and it starts selling. Well, guess what? Now 198 00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:45.860 it's moving. Every time someone sells it, you're getting a royalty back, 199 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:48.539 regardless of what it is. You wrote a little high coop on a on 200 00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:52.529 a meme. Cool, that's if you did that and that's original and you 201 00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:56.250 put it up on the blockchain. What if it came popular five years from 202 00:15:56.250 --> 00:16:00.610 now? What have became super popular and you could send your grandkids to college 203 00:16:00.649 --> 00:16:03.600 or whatever they're doing, you know, thirty or forty years from now? 204 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.519 That's what I think it's all about. It's not about day trading and getting 205 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.519 into fights with these fucking, you know, bro Chad fucking guys. They 206 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.629 basically the kind of guys who are like in Hollywood or West Hollywood or wherever, 207 00:16:18.710 --> 00:16:22.870 driving around in the dumb super cars. Some expensive cars obviously are really 208 00:16:22.909 --> 00:16:27.269 nice, but some of them are clearly stupid. Just only a jackass would 209 00:16:27.269 --> 00:16:32.549 drive one these. A lot of these are the same followers that just see 210 00:16:32.629 --> 00:16:36.179 somebody else having it. They got to have what somebody else has, and 211 00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:38.820 that's the whole thing. It's back to MEMISSAS, like we talked about before, 212 00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:42.940 wanting, just wanting what other people have. So if, as an 213 00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:48.049 artist that's the worst thing, don't get involved in the wanting what other people 214 00:16:48.250 --> 00:16:52.250 have. As an artist, it's your job to create the new things that 215 00:16:52.490 --> 00:16:59.690 people will want. And you see these otherwise capable artists just chasing fads in 216 00:16:59.809 --> 00:17:03.200 the music business. That would be like everyone jumping on the grunge sound. 217 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.920 Oh, just hear what's coming out of Seattle. Yeah, okay, let's 218 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.200 all start wearing flannel. It's the same thing with the PFP projects. Oh, 219 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.269 let's all start having Ab so let's all have punks or whatever the fuck's. 220 00:17:15.309 --> 00:17:18.910 You know, it's always the latest greatest thing. But as an artist, 221 00:17:19.109 --> 00:17:23.029 why are you jumping on that bandwagon and making more more garbage? You 222 00:17:23.230 --> 00:17:27.630 know, like a five year old that's been doing art for three years has 223 00:17:27.750 --> 00:17:33.339 more experience than most of the nft artists have now. So the idea that 224 00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:40.700 they're creating art specifically for commerce, puts an artificial constraint around their art. 225 00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:45.329 It's not even original. They're create and basically it's design. It's design on 226 00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:48.130 SPEC hoping that it will sell. So do you want to be a designer 227 00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:52.529 or an artist? If you're going to be a designer, get the money 228 00:17:52.569 --> 00:17:56.730 at front and then just sell your ass out. If you're going to be 229 00:17:56.809 --> 00:18:00.440 an artist, fuck all what other people are doing. Just go make art 230 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.799 and don't worry about it. But do get yourself a wallet, learn how 231 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.880 the blockchain works, try alternate market places, like if you'd go the Etherian 232 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.910 route, you can always go to open see and choose the polygon option, 233 00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:18.869 and that's also has a far lower gas fiees as well, kind of like 234 00:18:18.990 --> 00:18:23.789 Tzo's. And when you do succeed, remember to give some back. We 235 00:18:23.950 --> 00:18:27.859 need to get the poorest of the poor people to people that live in poverty 236 00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:33.740 with no computers, can't pay their electricity, have no food in their fridge. 237 00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:37.700 We need to find at least to get those people to try to make 238 00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:41.380 an NFT, to make a gallery of NFTS for these people so that they 239 00:18:41.420 --> 00:18:45.490 can maybe sell one and pull themselves out of poverty for entire year. You 240 00:18:45.609 --> 00:18:48.890 know, remember all these TV commercials where you can adopt a kid from Africa 241 00:18:48.970 --> 00:18:53.289 or adopt a broken puppy like that? How about buying an NFT for one 242 00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:56.559 of these poor old people that's just been poor their whole lives? But our 243 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:02.559 genius artists, we can do better and I think if you start making art, 244 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.359 be mindful of the toxic behavior that goes on in the day trading world 245 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:14.670 of PFP's twitter and give back when we make it. That embodies the entire 246 00:19:15.269 --> 00:19:19.789 we're all going to make it. Mantra. Just want to say a shout 247 00:19:19.869 --> 00:19:29.420 out to Tony Kaya aims. Hope you all had a happy thanksgiving. I'll 248 00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:49.809 talk to you soon. Have great rest of your weekend and now back to 249 00:19:49.849 --> 00:19:51.130 the wall.
