1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
But it's only 20 more than what we have, right?

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,580
104 active or something like that?

3
00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:05,220
110 active?

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,500
Welcome to Game of Nodes, a weekly podcast from independent

5
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:14,580
validated teams.

6
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:21,640
Welcome to Game of Nodes, a weekly podcast from independent

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,860
validated teams.

8
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:29,820
And we're discussing expansion of validator sets again, or at

9
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:33,100
least is it expansion of validator sets or is it expansion of

10
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:34,080
business opportunities?

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:34,580
I don't know.

12
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:36,740
But there's quite a few launches.

13
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,740
Can we talk about, can we talk about launchers tomorrow?

14
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:41,620
Are we going to be here tomorrow?

15
00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:46,620
That was a poorly phrased question.

16
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:49,320
We talked about launches that are occurring tomorrow.

17
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:49,980
Is that what you're talking about?

18
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:50,300
Yeah.

19
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:50,700
Yeah.

20
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:50,900
No.

21
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:55,020
I thought that was implicit in the word.

22
00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:56,460
We only had this show once a week.

23
00:00:56,860 --> 00:00:59,260
Well, the wording was ambiguous, but I thought the meaning

24
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:00,220
was clear.

25
00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:02,980
It could only really be one of the lists.

26
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:06,340
So you didn't want to instantly, I don't worry about drinking.

27
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:08,060
It just leave the potty.

28
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:09,340
Semantics matter.

29
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:09,700
Okay.

30
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:12,380
This is a podcast that is, is, is, all right.

31
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,860
It's dreamily accurate in all aspects.

32
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:18,140
So wait, before we get onto that point, I do want to, so she'll

33
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:18,900
see this correct.

34
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:21,420
And you're, we were talking about the Aptos stress net that's

35
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:23,260
coming up starting Monday.

36
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:26,660
And we, we're all running multiple nodes for that.

37
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:28,540
And I thought that they were going to, I thought that might

38
00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:31,500
be because they're expanding the set, which would allow someone

39
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:33,060
on this call to be able to get into that set.

40
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:38,220
But now I'm realizing, but, but now I'm realizing that, that,

41
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:41,020
that he's correct that we're running that because there's 113

42
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:44,180
validators in the set today, but some of those are much smaller

43
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:45,180
in terms of stake.

44
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:48,620
And so it's the larger stake Genesis valves that are performing

45
00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:50,900
two nodes apiece to be able to make up that total number, which is

46
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:53,820
about a 10 more than what's currently in Genesis, which means

47
00:01:53,820 --> 00:01:57,500
the door that I thought was open for our fourth colleague is

48
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:59,980
actually much smaller.

49
00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:01,660
Maybe it's just a sliver of a crack.

50
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:04,140
I thought it was why I don't, I really did.

51
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:06,380
I, I totally misread what was going on here.

52
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:11,780
So after a year, I am, I am pretty used to being ignored by the

53
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:12,980
Aptos Foundation.

54
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:14,020
You're beat down.

55
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:19,940
I mean, I think that's the life of an Aptos validator to some extent.

56
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,500
I mean, honestly, it's a life, it's a life of any validator.

57
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:23,780
It's a life of any validator.

58
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:27,980
Yeah, when you're not being ignored, when you got problems really, I've

59
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:31,700
noticed that when I'm being ignored, I have a quite easy life.

60
00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:37,820
And when we're not being ignored, it's usually because there's

61
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:39,580
something new about to happen.

62
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:44,860
And because we're relatively on the ball with things, we've, you

63
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:47,700
know, just, just need a bit of help testing something that's

64
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,380
going to involve a hairy operation in production.

65
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:53,380
And you're like, listen, I mean,

66
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:57,340
that the, this, in this job, you can't fall in love.

67
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:02,140
So you can't fall in love with like a chain or the idea of a chain or

68
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:08,180
being in a specific set because we are colleagues or you can't fall in

69
00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:11,660
love because it's all fleeting, right?

70
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:12,980
Like you could get pushed out of that set.

71
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:15,020
Like we've been pushed out of osmosis like three times, right?

72
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:16,540
Like I really want to be in that set.

73
00:03:16,540 --> 00:03:19,140
Do I have the capability of holding onto that and wanting to do that and

74
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:22,900
blah, blah, blah and investing that not necessarily, but you can't fall in

75
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:23,620
love with that, right?

76
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:26,220
You just have to move on to the next one and see who takes you to the

77
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:26,580
dance.

78
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:29,740
And even if you're in the dance, hell, like you still might have the

79
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:32,700
opp, you still might get, uh, I don't know.

80
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,660
So it's kind of like, you go home with somebody else.

81
00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:42,180
Nation of what artifacts says when he says, oh, you got to kiss a thousand

82
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:43,540
frogs, you do.

83
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:45,660
I was going to bring up artifacts as well.

84
00:03:46,780 --> 00:03:52,060
And I would say combining it with the wisdom of punk, uh, mastermind,

85
00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:55,940
genius man, Jeff Rosenstock, nothing's forever, dude.

86
00:03:56,340 --> 00:03:57,220
Nothing is forever.

87
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:58,380
Nothing's forever, dude.

88
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:01,340
It's what's spray painted on the back of a guitar that is within my

89
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:02,140
eye line.

90
00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:06,820
And it may be pithy, but it is one of those quotes where you're just like,

91
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:08,780
as the chorus to a song, you're just like,

92
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:15,620
devastatingly accurate and infinitely quotable because it's just true.

93
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:17,820
Anyway, thanks, Jeff, for that one.

94
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:18,460
Brutal.

95
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:21,620
That, that's like one of my, my favorite things that artifact taught

96
00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:25,300
me when we were out in East Denver, he was like, all right, when you get a good

97
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,740
business contract, here's the most important thing I can teach you.

98
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:30,540
Sit down and shut up.

99
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:34,020
Don't even let them know that you exist because once you exist, they

100
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:35,460
realize they have to pay you still.

101
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:40,060
So just sit down, shut up, make sure they don't ever have to contact you and

102
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:41,140
try not to contact them.

103
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:43,300
She'll see this like, wow.

104
00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:44,860
Wait, wait, wait, but that's funny.

105
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:45,740
Hold up, hold up.

106
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:47,100
That means no, you're paying.

107
00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:50,940
That is like, that's the antithesis to everything we teach on the game of

108
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:52,260
Windows, get rich seminar.

109
00:04:52,460 --> 00:04:53,100
That is true.

110
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,820
But once you've already up to the top, then where do you go?

111
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:57,460
Once you've got to the top, you're like, all right, I'm done.

112
00:04:57,460 --> 00:04:57,860
I'm here.

113
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:01,220
I'm just going to play the problem from the jungle book.

114
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,460
You've you're up to the top and you've had to stop.

115
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:06,420
And that's what's bothering you, man.

116
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:10,860
She'll say, did, did John tell you that specific story?

117
00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:13,500
Yes, it's related to a specific network too.

118
00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:14,180
Yeah, but.

119
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:17,020
Oh, as soon as you open your mouth and like, oh yeah, we're paying you.

120
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:18,900
I heard that story as well.

121
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:19,500
I know exactly.

122
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:22,860
I think we were together actually when we might have heard that story.

123
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:26,020
Yeah, this story, so I'll have to ask.

124
00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:26,740
Yeah, I see.

125
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:29,060
Yeah, well, you didn't come to the thing, but motherfucker.

126
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:30,220
Right.

127
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:34,220
You didn't come to fucking smart, calm Barcelona, motherfucker.

128
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:36,060
So what do I, what do I got a private plane?

129
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:37,340
I can just fly around everywhere.

130
00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:39,780
Why being next May?

131
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:42,220
Yeah, booked in next May.

132
00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:45,220
I got a book flights in a con, but I'll be sleeping on someone's couch

133
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,180
because I'll be poor by the time I get there, paying for the.

134
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:49,220
Full consensus, consensus.

135
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:50,020
Yeah, consensus.

136
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:50,380
Yeah.

137
00:05:50,380 --> 00:05:51,860
Oh, I have my ticket for that.

138
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:52,380
I've got.

139
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:53,180
Oh, did they come through?

140
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:53,580
Oh, good.

141
00:05:53,580 --> 00:05:54,700
They came through today.

142
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:55,540
Oh, sweet.

143
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:56,060
All right.

144
00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:57,060
Yeah, I'm going to.

145
00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:57,180
I'm going to.

146
00:05:57,180 --> 00:05:57,460
I'm going to.

147
00:05:57,460 --> 00:06:00,180
But I don't know if I will actually be able to come.

148
00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:01,180
Oh, my God.

149
00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:01,820
It's fucking.

150
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,020
I got a dev ticket.

151
00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:05,180
I got a dev ticket, so I was just like.

152
00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:05,980
Figure it out.

153
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:06,980
He's got important.

154
00:06:06,980 --> 00:06:08,580
He's got important shit going on though.

155
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:09,580
Yeah.

156
00:06:09,580 --> 00:06:13,580
I mean, if I get my Viva out the way, I don't know.

157
00:06:13,580 --> 00:06:15,180
It's also time away from family, isn't it?

158
00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:16,380
It's fucking ball.

159
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:17,380
Like to go.

160
00:06:17,380 --> 00:06:21,180
I can't wait to get away from my unborn child to go to Texas.

161
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:21,580
No less.

162
00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:22,180
That's like.

163
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:23,580
It's in Texas.

164
00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:24,580
It's in Texas.

165
00:06:24,580 --> 00:06:26,780
Maybe I thought it was in Denver.

166
00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:27,180
At least.

167
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:27,780
No, it's not.

168
00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:28,180
I'm not.

169
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:28,780
I'm not.

170
00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:29,580
I'm not.

171
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:34,380
I don't know that good low altitude open carry state, baby.

172
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:36,380
Open carry barbecue.

173
00:06:36,380 --> 00:06:37,380
This is getting less exciting.

174
00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:38,580
No abortions.

175
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:42,580
You've got to keep Arizona's.

176
00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:43,580
Arizona's all right.

177
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:44,580
It's been to Arizona.

178
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:45,180
I like that.

179
00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:47,980
That fucking hot though, like hot.

180
00:06:47,980 --> 00:06:48,580
I haven't noticed.

181
00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:55,180
Oh, like it was like Morocco hot, you know, when you're like, why is anybody out during the daytime?

182
00:06:55,380 --> 00:06:58,980
Because that's the thing that's like Phoenix, Arizona, right?

183
00:06:59,380 --> 00:07:01,580
So that you can work normal hours.

184
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:04,180
They just missed water everywhere.

185
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:14,980
So you just always walking around in a mist of water and you're like, the solution to this has been worked out in every other hot country, which is you just don't fucking go to work till five

186
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:17,380
p.m. and you work till like 11 p.m.

187
00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:20,980
And then you sleep and you sleep through the hot bit of the day.

188
00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:26,580
Like go around Morocco in the summer, like go anywhere at lunchtime.

189
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,380
You'll see no come because people are smarter than that.

190
00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:30,980
But here's the thing, though.

191
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:32,980
Americans think that they're better than nature.

192
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:38,980
That's why you read about hikers that died because they were like in flip flops and no water all the time.

193
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:40,580
You read out all the time.

194
00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:40,980
Yeah.

195
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:43,980
Isn't that always a guy in Florida, though?

196
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:45,180
I read this story.

197
00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:54,180
Oh, God, no, no, no happens in Oregon like three or four times a year where they're like, yeah, we sent the National Guard and National Guard's all pissy about it.

198
00:07:54,180 --> 00:07:59,780
Because they're like this this guy, he came out here and flip flops and no water or a backpack.

199
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:00,780
His phone's dead.

200
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,180
Why did he do this?

201
00:08:02,380 --> 00:08:03,580
His phone's dead.

202
00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:06,780
And while he is when camping without a tent.

203
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:09,780
Yeah.

204
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:20,380
To be fair, though, like I think the only reason that doesn't happen in the UK is because nowhere is really further than about an hour away from anywhere else.

205
00:08:20,380 --> 00:08:21,380
Like, right, right.

206
00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:27,380
We like like the greatest wilderness we have is like you could get there in a helicopter in 45.

207
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:28,180
Right.

208
00:08:28,180 --> 00:08:33,380
Like little you could you could just point in any direction and walk and you hit a pub like within two hours, right?

209
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:34,380
Like, yeah.

210
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:35,380
Yeah.

211
00:08:35,980 --> 00:08:36,980
I died out there.

212
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:38,580
I'm not even kidding.

213
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:43,580
Like you can be in the middle of nowhere and you're you'd be like, fuck, I'm actually a bit lost.

214
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:45,580
Yeah, this is pre-mode off lines or whatever.

215
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:49,180
And you can actually walk up a hill and then just be like, oh, yeah.

216
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:57,180
Because every valley has a village like there's there's this thing you do called Duke of Edinburgh where you it's basically like hiking and outdoors stuff.

217
00:08:57,180 --> 00:09:05,380
The long and short of it is at some point when you're about 16, they just dump you in the peak district for like three or four days.

218
00:09:05,380 --> 00:09:11,380
And every night you have to be in a certain place and you have to carry all your food with you in your tent and blah, blah, blah.

219
00:09:11,380 --> 00:09:13,780
But but during the day, whatever.

220
00:09:13,780 --> 00:09:15,380
And that's literally what happens.

221
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:18,180
You just walk up a hill and you're like, there's a town there.

222
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:18,980
Should we go to the pub?

223
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:19,180
Yeah.

224
00:09:19,180 --> 00:09:19,580
Right.

225
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:19,780
Yeah.

226
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:22,980
I can see how many hours we got before the checkpoint.

227
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:25,180
Like, we're going to get served.

228
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:25,580
Yeah.

229
00:09:25,580 --> 00:09:26,980
It's the middle of the peak district.

230
00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:28,380
I think we'll get served.

231
00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:33,380
The only thing is you're not supposed to they because they because they obviously they think about this.

232
00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:35,380
You're not supposed to carry any cash on you.

233
00:09:35,380 --> 00:09:39,580
You specifically get given I think it's like granted this was when I was a kid, right?

234
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:46,380
So a long time ago, you're allowed to take a couple of quid for the phone like for a phone box as like emergency money.

235
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:53,980
But you weren't allowed to take, you know, enough money to buy a meal because then they were like, obviously you'll find a town and then you just buy some food.

236
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:57,380
You know, you'll find a lot of food on you.

237
00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:59,380
You know, you'll find a lot of food on you.

238
00:09:59,380 --> 00:10:00,980
You'll find a lot of food on you.

239
00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:02,980
You'll find a lot of food on you.

240
00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:04,980
You'll find a lot of food on you.

241
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:08,180
So you just like put put 20 quid in your sock.

242
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:09,980
They don't give a shit.

243
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:11,980
They're just like, where you got your pockets?

244
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:13,380
You're like, nothing.

245
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,980
And I like checks out off you go.

246
00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:17,980
They'd like just go up a hill and be like, there's the nearest village.

247
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:21,980
Well, the Rose and Crown looks like it looks like a goer.

248
00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:22,980
I thought he's tied a fucking iPhone to his.

249
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:23,980
I thought he was tying a fucking iPhone to his fucking bokeh.

250
00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:24,980
And then like, I was just like, he's the fucking bokeh.

251
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:26,980
And then like, I didn't even know what to do with my iPhone.

252
00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:28,980
I wanted to take an extra iPhone like, like, literally sticky taped an iPhone to my way to my screen here.

253
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:30,980
I tried to do the same with an Android phone.

254
00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:34,980
And it doesn't like it technically can work, but it's a huge hassle.

255
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:39,980
You got to download apps on both sides and jump through hoops and sacrifice a lamb.

256
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:41,980
It's pretty bad.

257
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:47,980
So the only way I can get better image than that is to actually have my DSLR up there, but there's a lag

258
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:49,980
and it's annoying.

259
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:52,380
Yeah, I was just shopping like what other options are there?

260
00:10:52,380 --> 00:10:54,900
Cause I don't even have an old iPhone sent around.

261
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:58,180
So, and they're all DSLRs, but you get that whole bunch of issues with that, right?

262
00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:02,260
The other problem I've noticed is a lot of these devices that aimed at gamers.

263
00:11:02,260 --> 00:11:05,140
And so they're just like all the drivers of windows and actually don't work

264
00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:06,420
super well on my Mac.

265
00:11:06,740 --> 00:11:06,900
Yeah.

266
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:14,020
So like this camera on the windows partition of my Linux box is actually much better

267
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:14,660
quality.

268
00:11:14,660 --> 00:11:15,980
Like it works way better.

269
00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:17,700
It's like, I think it's a 4k camera.

270
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,740
Um, and on the Mac it's like, I'll try my best.

271
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:27,780
Did you ever do a call with Jake when he had like Linux installed on like an IBM or something?

272
00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:30,020
Oh yeah, on ThinkPad.

273
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:31,820
Yeah, it was like a top of the line ThinkPad as well.

274
00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:37,580
It's all, it was like, it looks like he's like, you know, um, what's the matrix when

275
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:41,940
they're like outside of the matrix and contacting people and like screens always like fudgy.

276
00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:44,180
There's a game of nodes episode with him like that.

277
00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:46,820
It's like, there's like blue lines cutting across sideways and everything.

278
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:47,820
Yeah.

279
00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:50,180
That's very par for the course really.

280
00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:52,340
Um, yeah.

281
00:11:55,340 --> 00:12:04,420
Um, my, uh, one of the academics that I've been working with, uh, is like where you go

282
00:12:04,420 --> 00:12:05,260
during the week.

283
00:12:07,020 --> 00:12:07,380
Yeah.

284
00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:08,340
Yeah.

285
00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:08,660
Is it?

286
00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:11,820
When you talk about school, same thing.

287
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,420
When you get, when you talk about school, you have to put breaks in so we can get our,

288
00:12:14,420 --> 00:12:16,060
we can have time to put our jabs in there.

289
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:16,620
Yeah.

290
00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:19,340
You have to put that fucking square hat on when you start looking.

291
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:22,740
The little bingley bit.

292
00:12:24,740 --> 00:12:26,940
What are you going to do when you're actually Dr.

293
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:29,260
Frey, because then it's like, we've already been calling you Dr.

294
00:12:29,260 --> 00:12:29,700
Frey.

295
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:31,580
It's going to be worn out by that point.

296
00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:32,820
Are you going to be Mr.

297
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:33,500
Dr. Frey?

298
00:12:33,860 --> 00:12:34,300
I don't know.

299
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:38,820
I imagine I'll probably just go like, I have a doctor at fuck off.

300
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:39,700
Yeah.

301
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:42,860
You'll be, you'll be too distinguished for this fucking show.

302
00:12:42,860 --> 00:12:43,420
Let me tell you that.

303
00:12:43,420 --> 00:12:44,260
Yeah.

304
00:12:45,380 --> 00:12:46,500
I am the doctor now.

305
00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:48,340
Yeah, exactly.

306
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:49,060
Look at me.

307
00:12:49,740 --> 00:12:50,180
Look at me.

308
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:52,100
I'm the doctor now.

309
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:52,660
Yeah.

310
00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:53,380
I don't know.

311
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:55,340
I don't know.

312
00:12:57,620 --> 00:13:00,340
Ben Davis says, in fact, that no, no idea what the hat is called is excellent.

313
00:13:00,340 --> 00:13:02,020
What's that square one with the dangly bit?

314
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,380
Look, I'm a graduate motherfucker.

315
00:13:04,580 --> 00:13:08,540
I mean, it's a bit rich of, it's a bit rich of an old to be going on about school

316
00:13:08,540 --> 00:13:10,260
when he could barely find the word in the dictionary.

317
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:10,860
But anyway.

318
00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:11,700
Yeah.

319
00:13:12,820 --> 00:13:13,460
Hey, man.

320
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:14,740
Fuck you.

321
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:17,660
We don't have dictionaries here.

322
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:19,140
I don't get on with books.

323
00:13:20,260 --> 00:13:24,540
Yeah, I've got a fucking big stack of books over there that I've never read.

324
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:30,740
Do you know, like the answer is always just in a book.

325
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:32,820
It's a question of whether you read the right one.

326
00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:36,940
Yeah, that's kind of shut the fuck up.

327
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:38,660
Shut the fuck up.

328
00:13:38,660 --> 00:13:43,300
Yeah, this, this is out is 9% and it goes down very smooth.

329
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:45,140
What is it?

330
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:46,180
Guinness that I'm not sure.

331
00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:48,260
Oh, Guinness is about 5.2.

332
00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:48,740
I think.

333
00:13:48,940 --> 00:13:49,140
Yes.

334
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:49,980
I think it's quite low.

335
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:51,980
It's actually really low calorie as well.

336
00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:55,340
Relatively speaking, 125 calories for a big old can like this.

337
00:13:55,580 --> 00:13:57,620
That's like half of what a cider would be.

338
00:13:58,140 --> 00:14:00,500
Well, he gives us a shot of sugar.

339
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:02,540
Wow.

340
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:03,980
You guys are kind of harsh there.

341
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:06,980
I got a drink.

342
00:14:06,980 --> 00:14:07,380
Sorry.

343
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:10,260
It gives me the indigestion because I'm old.

344
00:14:10,260 --> 00:14:12,300
So yeah, it's quite acidic cider.

345
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:13,700
Yeah, it is.

346
00:14:14,580 --> 00:14:19,460
The Frey, are you are you taking your beer piss warm in tradition or?

347
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:21,620
Oh, no, it's not bitter.

348
00:14:21,620 --> 00:14:23,460
You only have bitter at room temperature.

349
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:24,620
Oh, OK.

350
00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:26,620
Sorry, I didn't know.

351
00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:27,700
Come on.

352
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,020
I thought you all just did all your.

353
00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:29,380
Fuck it.

354
00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:30,020
Idiot.

355
00:14:30,860 --> 00:14:34,380
No, like Cass, there's this difference between.

356
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:36,540
I think what's it called?

357
00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:39,180
Keck, Keck temperature and cask temperature and stuff.

358
00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:43,260
Like there's like room and then there's a fucking.

359
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:44,740
Yeah, do you know Ben Davison's in the chat?

360
00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:47,100
He'll remember the the correct word and the thing.

361
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:50,180
There's like room temperature and then there's like cellar temperature

362
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:52,900
for for kegs and casks like it shouldn't ever be.

363
00:14:53,380 --> 00:14:57,660
It's the warm beer thing is is like not a thing.

364
00:14:57,980 --> 00:14:59,820
Like they're always below room temperature.

365
00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:01,700
It's just that they're not cold.

366
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:04,740
I'm a firm believer in all drinks are better colder.

367
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:05,860
Like red wine.

368
00:15:05,860 --> 00:15:06,420
Don't care.

369
00:15:06,420 --> 00:15:07,980
I want to cold really.

370
00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:08,540
55.

371
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:09,100
Oh, yeah.

372
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:09,860
55 degrees.

373
00:15:09,860 --> 00:15:13,100
Oh, we can drink red wine together.

374
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:13,660
Wait, how?

375
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:14,420
Like you need to.

376
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:14,860
Fuck.

377
00:15:14,860 --> 00:15:16,260
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

378
00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:18,140
I don't know what I do it up into Oregon, but.

379
00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:20,940
Like ref, like refrigerated cold.

380
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,540
Refridgerated cold or like red wine cold.

381
00:15:23,540 --> 00:15:25,060
Yeah, refrigerator cold.

382
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:27,660
Like 30 like 37 degree cold like that.

383
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:28,020
Yes.

384
00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:28,740
Yes.

385
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:29,380
Yes.

386
00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:30,500
That's wrong.

387
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:31,860
That's right.

388
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:32,620
That's right.

389
00:15:32,620 --> 00:15:33,540
That's right.

390
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:34,260
The word.

391
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:35,780
I do put on.

392
00:15:35,780 --> 00:15:37,180
I am not happy.

393
00:15:37,180 --> 00:15:38,300
They're not happy.

394
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:39,380
She'll see.

395
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:41,820
They have very angry.

396
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:42,980
Vintners.

397
00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:44,300
Look, I'm not going to lie.

398
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:49,340
I know people who get their box of wine into their plastic cup

399
00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:51,020
and throw some ice cubes in there.

400
00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:53,700
And I almost like throw up at the whole situation.

401
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:55,700
For a box of.

402
00:15:58,420 --> 00:15:59,300
Do you have a box of?

403
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:00,620
Over there.

404
00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:02,100
It's got a great name, hasn't it?

405
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,140
Is it it's like a goon?

406
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:06,820
No, there's all kinds of names.

407
00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:09,660
What was it begins with a G, doesn't it?

408
00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:13,020
Like the kinds of people who are buying that call it like lady in a boat

409
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:16,340
because it's got a picture of a lady in a boat on it.

410
00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:19,460
I thought there was like a one word like lady in a boat.

411
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:23,100
Like like Aussieism for the bag of wine.

412
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:23,820
Oh, yeah.

413
00:16:23,820 --> 00:16:25,780
Goonsack. Goonsack.

414
00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:28,900
You are so close to the fact that he didn't just take that.

415
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:30,940
Your gas ridiculous.

416
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,740
He said a goona.

417
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:36,660
I think goon which probably is because I think of Bundy.

418
00:16:36,660 --> 00:16:38,580
Yeah, but it's like cheese.

419
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:41,220
Well, it is a cheese.

420
00:16:41,220 --> 00:16:42,940
Gooders, gooders of touch cheese.

421
00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:45,580
Yeah. Yeah. No, they call it a goon bag.

422
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:47,660
Quite popular.

423
00:16:47,660 --> 00:16:51,340
Yeah. And in the young crowd at the parties with you,

424
00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:56,060
your goonsack of like just cheap white wine.

425
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:57,420
Yeah.

426
00:16:57,420 --> 00:17:00,300
Thing is, though, there's enough deep, like really pretty decent

427
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:03,660
Australian wine that you can probably buy bullshit cheap wine

428
00:17:04,140 --> 00:17:07,300
in Australia that's actually like reasonably good.

429
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:08,980
Yeah. Yeah.

430
00:17:08,980 --> 00:17:12,020
I mean, like, I don't know, you can get like 20 bucks one

431
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:14,220
that's half decent here, I guess.

432
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:17,740
But, you know, for for something that's actually tastes good

433
00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:23,300
and has a good like finish and texture, it's like maybe 50 to 80 bucks.

434
00:17:23,820 --> 00:17:25,300
Australian, I suppose.

435
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:28,580
So it's not like France where it's like three euros and you're like fucking hell.

436
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:30,140
Yeah.

437
00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:31,540
What is that?

438
00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:33,420
Is that like a good fucking hill or a bad fucking?

439
00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:34,140
Yeah, good.

440
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,740
I could. OK. No, yeah, it's expensive.

441
00:17:35,740 --> 00:17:37,900
Yeah. I mean, they're good as early wines,

442
00:17:37,980 --> 00:17:40,140
but so are we buying those cheaper than you are?

443
00:17:40,140 --> 00:17:41,420
Maybe.

444
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:44,700
Well, the the labor in Australia is fucking expensive.

445
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:47,860
I don't know if you get like a good bulk rate to get it out.

446
00:17:47,860 --> 00:17:49,660
I don't know if they got like some sort of trade deal.

447
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:52,460
We have like all kinds of alcohol tax.

448
00:17:52,460 --> 00:17:53,540
So you probably get it.

449
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:55,060
We do without the tax.

450
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:58,820
Yeah. But to be honest, like when I was in the states last,

451
00:17:59,220 --> 00:18:02,180
I went and looked at the liquor stores and I'm buying,

452
00:18:03,220 --> 00:18:06,180
you know, like good whiskeys for cheaper here than what you are.

453
00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:07,740
Well, I fair my.

454
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:09,660
Liquor is pretty expensive here.

455
00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:11,660
Actually, we talk about dependent as well.

456
00:18:11,660 --> 00:18:14,460
It is it is extremely state dependent because because the overlying tax,

457
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,060
similar to gasoline, things like that.

458
00:18:17,060 --> 00:18:19,300
I just want to say from the chat,

459
00:18:19,540 --> 00:18:23,300
Ben Davis says the poshest person I know has their red wine cold.

460
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:25,020
However, from memory.

461
00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:30,180
OK, I'm not going to dox the area of the country that Ben, I believe,

462
00:18:30,180 --> 00:18:33,540
lives in, but I will just say that the poshest person that lives there

463
00:18:33,540 --> 00:18:34,820
probably isn't very posh.

464
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:36,540
Shots.

465
00:18:39,780 --> 00:18:40,780
Jeez.

466
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:46,180
I would ideally then made a joke in the accent and then I realized

467
00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:47,300
that is also doxing.

468
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:50,980
So out of respect, I'm just going to mute my mic, have a little juggle to

469
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:57,140
myself and then yeah, we have done alcohol tax chat before, though.

470
00:18:57,420 --> 00:19:01,340
So unless you want me to get the banner, the totally tax time banner out.

471
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:04,500
I'm trying to remember what what I can do.

472
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,540
Oh, Jacobs Creek and what?

473
00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:07,540
No, not Jacobs Creek.

474
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:09,020
That's like a cheap.

475
00:19:09,020 --> 00:19:09,620
Penfolds.

476
00:19:09,620 --> 00:19:10,220
Penfolds.

477
00:19:10,540 --> 00:19:11,540
I have some Penfolds here.

478
00:19:11,540 --> 00:19:12,940
That's a that's a damn good wine.

479
00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:14,500
Well, Jacobs Creek is the cheap one.

480
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:15,020
Yeah.

481
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:15,540
Yeah.

482
00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:17,940
And I think the other two hands is that another one?

483
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:19,180
I think that's Australian.

484
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:20,180
It was real good.

485
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:22,580
But those are probably those are hands.

486
00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:24,100
Those are probably 80 bucks here.

487
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,500
Did you just sneak a reference into something there?

488
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:27,060
No.

489
00:19:27,060 --> 00:19:28,060
No.

490
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:29,060
I did not.

491
00:19:29,060 --> 00:19:30,060
Okay.

492
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:35,900
So back to the question that kicked off this entire meander.

493
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,700
Can we talk about the chain launch that is tomorrow?

494
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:39,700
Oh, that is one.

495
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:40,700
Let's talk about it.

496
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:42,220
Do I DX?

497
00:19:42,220 --> 00:19:44,260
Yeah, it will see other one.

498
00:19:44,260 --> 00:19:45,260
Celestia.

499
00:19:45,260 --> 00:19:47,260
Do I DX and Celestia?

500
00:19:47,260 --> 00:19:49,060
Well, Celestia is watching tomorrow.

501
00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:50,460
I don't think it's tomorrow.

502
00:19:50,460 --> 00:19:52,460
Celestia is soon, isn't it?

503
00:19:52,460 --> 00:19:54,620
Well, I mean, what is Celestia?

504
00:19:54,620 --> 00:19:56,340
Well, the airdrops already happens.

505
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:57,460
I guess the chain must be running.

506
00:19:57,460 --> 00:19:57,780
Hang on.

507
00:19:57,780 --> 00:19:58,860
Wait, what the fuck?

508
00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:03,300
No, so the airdrop, the way that worked was you had to register it on test net

509
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,460
that you wanted it for main net.

510
00:20:05,460 --> 00:20:06,460
Kind of weird.

511
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:08,820
OK, what the fuck?

512
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:10,660
So they would have had a contract and then snap,

513
00:20:10,660 --> 00:20:13,300
showed the contract and then put that in the Genesis.

514
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:17,140
Yeah, I mean, well, except the state.

515
00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:19,700
Well, yeah, the state will work, but only if you do some fucking.

516
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:21,340
OK, fine, whatever.

517
00:20:21,340 --> 00:20:23,700
But I thought Celestia wasn't Cosmos I'm enabled.

518
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:24,700
So how?

519
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:29,980
No, I guess they could have a custom module, couldn't they?

520
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:31,060
That would make more sense.

521
00:20:31,060 --> 00:20:33,060
They have custom module, they snapshot the state of it,

522
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:35,740
and they throw in the Genesis.

523
00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:37,540
And then when the chain initializes,

524
00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:40,380
you can have five fucking tokens worth nothing.

525
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:42,860
You know, I think you're overthinking it.

526
00:20:42,860 --> 00:20:46,940
The snapshot thing could have just been like them accepting a transaction

527
00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:49,460
and then exporting it to a CSV that they manually upload

528
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:51,540
via ScriptLator into the Genesis.

529
00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:52,540
Like.

530
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:55,180
I mean, you could also do that.

531
00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:58,540
Yeah, actually, I think I have a rough script that does that.

532
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:00,820
Yeah, I mean, if I were to do it, that's basically what I would do.

533
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:04,420
It'd be so much easier than like relying on actual Cosmos SDK stuff.

534
00:21:04,420 --> 00:21:07,740
I'd be like, OK, they hit yes, pop into the CSV.

535
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:08,780
Let's go.

536
00:21:08,780 --> 00:21:14,460
I've seen quite a few no JS Jason Wrangling scripts.

537
00:21:14,820 --> 00:21:16,660
Is that one of the few times when you're like, oh, yeah,

538
00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:19,900
parsing a massive JSON file is not ideal.

539
00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:22,540
Back to CSV is the fucking best.

540
00:21:22,540 --> 00:21:23,860
CSV is great.

541
00:21:23,860 --> 00:21:27,580
Line by line format that you can lazily read.

542
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:29,540
You never run out of memory.

543
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:32,300
You can parse an infinite CSV, folks.

544
00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:34,020
Do yourself a favor.

545
00:21:34,020 --> 00:21:35,580
Just use CSV.

546
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:36,780
It's a text file.

547
00:21:36,780 --> 00:21:38,140
It's widely understood.

548
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:40,140
You can serve it over a web browser.

549
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:42,740
Every browser understands it.

550
00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:45,620
Every web server understands it because of the HTTP.

551
00:21:45,620 --> 00:21:49,020
The headers, it's just supported everywhere by everything.

552
00:21:49,340 --> 00:21:51,940
What happens if you need to use a comma in your data?

553
00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:53,940
You have to escape it.

554
00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:56,140
Mm hmm. That sounds annoying.

555
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:59,340
I mean, anything that would be exporting it, but just do it automatically.

556
00:21:59,340 --> 00:22:01,300
So exactly.

557
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,660
You should just write better software if you have a problem with that.

558
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:10,100
It's yeah.

559
00:22:10,580 --> 00:22:13,140
So yeah.

560
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:14,780
So that's that.

561
00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:17,820
The idea is tomorrow before the four.

562
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:19,180
The yeah.

563
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:20,620
V4. Yeah. So D.

564
00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:21,820
D. Y. D. X.

565
00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:26,860
Man, I am pretty like I don't want to say excited, but I'm pretty interested

566
00:22:26,860 --> 00:22:30,060
in the whole situation, the whole show.

567
00:22:31,460 --> 00:22:35,100
Mainly because it is the only while it's the first chain to launch

568
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:38,020
with significantly different tokenomics.

569
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:42,220
And it's going to be operating on V3, which is on Ethereum

570
00:22:42,220 --> 00:22:47,180
and the new D. Y. D. X. chain simultaneously for a while.

571
00:22:47,180 --> 00:22:49,300
So people don't have to like go straight over.

572
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:53,540
But I think it indefinitely was the word I heard until they figured out.

573
00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:54,460
So I think it's got a long while.

574
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:55,140
Really?

575
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:55,540
Really?

576
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:59,580
Well, they said they said, I mean, a long while, meaning like, I think

577
00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:03,740
there's so many people who've written kind of trading type of structures

578
00:23:03,740 --> 00:23:04,940
on V3.

579
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:05,620
Yes.

580
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:09,540
That and large traders that they said, we're not messing with any of that.

581
00:23:09,540 --> 00:23:17,420
So there's a bridge which is built into the new chain, which is kind of cool.

582
00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:21,820
It's got the Oracle, which is built into the new chain, which is also kind of cool.

583
00:23:21,820 --> 00:23:26,820
Because everybody knows how much of a fucking pain it is to maintain an Oracle.

584
00:23:28,620 --> 00:23:33,620
And also, but on the tokenomics, besides all the token unlocks

585
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:38,420
and all the regular bullshit, the rev like there's no inflation.

586
00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:45,300
So once the token launches, the supply is the supply and all of the supply

587
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:46,980
comes from Ethereum.

588
00:23:46,980 --> 00:23:51,140
So if you want to have tokens on the DYDX chain, you got to bridge it

589
00:23:51,140 --> 00:23:56,340
and nothing is created or destroyed on the DYDX chain itself.

590
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:59,140
So all of the tokens already exist.

591
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:00,500
You have to bridge them over.

592
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:04,820
There's a bunch of token unlocks on Ethereum very soon, like in, what is it?

593
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:05,660
November sometime?

594
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:07,380
What is it? November sometime?

595
00:24:08,540 --> 00:24:12,340
But all of the revenue is paid in USDC.

596
00:24:12,860 --> 00:24:17,620
So all the revenue on the chain, it's all from trading on the chain

597
00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:20,060
and it's all paid in USDC to the stakers.

598
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,980
So well, I knew that it was all in USD or all paid to the stakers.

599
00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:26,420
I just didn't realize that it was denominated USDC.

600
00:24:26,780 --> 00:24:27,020
Yeah.

601
00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:31,340
So if you have a look at your your test net validator, you'll see that you have

602
00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:37,820
no commission in that IBC denomination, which is the

603
00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:45,740
DYDX, but you will have just like a bunch of USDC from the trading fees.

604
00:24:45,740 --> 00:24:47,780
So pretty awesome.

605
00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:51,500
To me, that means that you can actually value that chain traditionally,

606
00:24:51,820 --> 00:24:57,060
like where you would use a discounting plus return method

607
00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:03,260
to actually value what that coin should be worth based on an expected return

608
00:25:03,420 --> 00:25:04,420
plus some risk.

609
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:12,940
So I think I calculated it this week that and this is not financial

610
00:25:12,940 --> 00:25:15,100
advice for anyone and my math is pretty bad.

611
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:16,380
It's on the back of an envelope.

612
00:25:16,860 --> 00:25:23,380
But my my grew to mentally calculation was fair value of about six bucks

613
00:25:23,380 --> 00:25:27,100
based on a 10 percent return in stable coins.

614
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:28,500
So where is that?

615
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:30,260
Where's that USDC liquidity coming from?

616
00:25:30,260 --> 00:25:31,860
Like, is that how are they minting that?

617
00:25:31,860 --> 00:25:33,260
Is that like native?

618
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:35,660
They've already been minting it in Genesis.

619
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:40,780
So it's it's already in a like a module controlled account from Genesis.

620
00:25:40,780 --> 00:25:43,100
So as people bridge, it comes out of that account.

621
00:25:43,340 --> 00:25:45,100
But what's supposed to come from Noble?

622
00:25:45,340 --> 00:25:46,580
Oh, so they're buying Noble.

623
00:25:46,580 --> 00:25:49,100
Oh, sorry, USDC, not the DYDX.

624
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:50,180
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

625
00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:51,700
Are they buying that?

626
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:54,820
They probably they probably have a deal with Noble.

627
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:58,020
I mean, they have to purchase it because Noble is basically buying it from

628
00:25:58,020 --> 00:26:00,180
Circle or however they fucking works.

629
00:26:00,180 --> 00:26:01,180
Probably. Yeah.

630
00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:06,860
And so so they're so and then they are there pools associated that or no?

631
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:10,260
Like how like it's a mark.

632
00:26:10,940 --> 00:26:12,340
Yeah, like the trading platforms.

633
00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:14,300
So it's a book.

634
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:15,620
So you know, it's an order book, right?

635
00:26:15,620 --> 00:26:18,180
So there's a straight order book for that for so there.

636
00:26:18,540 --> 00:26:21,620
So those reserves on USDC, those are DYDX.

637
00:26:21,620 --> 00:26:23,060
DYDX owned reserves.

638
00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:26,500
And so based on staking and other types of things, that's basically

639
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:28,100
coming out of that that structure.

640
00:26:28,540 --> 00:26:29,780
Well, then why?

641
00:26:29,780 --> 00:26:30,660
Why reserves?

642
00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:32,140
Why do they need reserves?

643
00:26:32,140 --> 00:26:33,060
Where's USDC coming?

644
00:26:33,060 --> 00:26:33,820
Who?

645
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,140
It comes from the traders.

646
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:38,420
So when the traders trade, they have to have USDC balance.

647
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:39,540
Oh, I see.

648
00:26:39,540 --> 00:26:42,180
So that's a fee that's coming in from the traders on the USDC side.

649
00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:42,420
Yeah.

650
00:26:42,420 --> 00:26:46,540
So when you trade, it takes a fee and that's instantly distributed to the stakers.

651
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:47,580
I got you.

652
00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:48,020
I got you.

653
00:26:48,020 --> 00:26:50,100
Instantly or is that a epic based?

654
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:52,900
Oh, I couldn't tell you that, but I would assume it was.

655
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:54,660
I'm assuming it's by block.

656
00:26:54,660 --> 00:26:56,700
Wow. OK. Cool.

657
00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:00,420
So so you have to have USDC to trade and that gets basically distributed based on.

658
00:27:00,420 --> 00:27:02,140
Oh, there goes the tape.

659
00:27:02,140 --> 00:27:03,620
Oh, no.

660
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:06,020
Oh, no.

661
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:08,140
My FOMO has kind of disappeared a little bit.

662
00:27:08,620 --> 00:27:09,220
That's expensive.

663
00:27:09,220 --> 00:27:12,300
I mean, someone just needs to make a fucking bracket for these things

664
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:16,620
that doesn't only attach to a fucking Apple monitor.

665
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:20,300
They do get a really good one, man.

666
00:27:20,460 --> 00:27:21,060
Yeah.

667
00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:23,820
It's due to also the gorilla mount where you strap in your phone

668
00:27:23,820 --> 00:27:26,980
and then it's got the three legs and you can just attach it to fucking anything.

669
00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:30,420
Oh, I know you're talking about the one that can like anchor over.

670
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:31,580
Yeah, that's one.

671
00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:33,980
I'm going to lose in a box somewhere around here.

672
00:27:33,980 --> 00:27:36,780
It's super useful.

673
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:39,140
Just that is fucking hilarious.

674
00:27:39,140 --> 00:27:40,900
So they but there's a shit.

675
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:42,340
Go look at just Google.

676
00:27:42,340 --> 00:27:43,420
Go on Amazon.

677
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:45,340
Look for like a iPhone monitor.

678
00:27:45,340 --> 00:27:47,420
There's like a thousand of them.

679
00:27:47,420 --> 00:27:50,740
So for those of you listening on the podcast players, we know you do exist.

680
00:27:51,140 --> 00:27:56,060
What has just happened here is Null's iPhone has fallen off his monitor,

681
00:27:56,060 --> 00:27:58,420
whacked into the table and he's now fiddling with it.

682
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:02,060
If you're wondering what we're talking about, that is it.

683
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:05,220
And if you're thinking we're 30 minutes in and we haven't talked about the news yet,

684
00:28:05,780 --> 00:28:06,660
you'd be right.

685
00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:08,420
So.

686
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:09,660
Well, hold on.

687
00:28:09,660 --> 00:28:10,700
We deserve a little credit.

688
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:11,940
We talked about DYDS.

689
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:12,940
I mean, we've talked about DYDS.

690
00:28:12,940 --> 00:28:14,220
The active conversation.

691
00:28:14,220 --> 00:28:15,540
To be fair, it's pretty it's pretty active.

692
00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:18,820
And it was actually interrupted, if anything, quite a flowing conversation

693
00:28:18,820 --> 00:28:20,620
by the demise of the iPhone.

694
00:28:20,660 --> 00:28:24,700
So, you know, I shouldn't be so down on what's happened so far.

695
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:27,020
I do see it sliding down the monitor

696
00:28:27,020 --> 00:28:30,260
because your head keeps going up in the frame.

697
00:28:30,260 --> 00:28:33,780
So so the freight, I don't think we're finished on DYDS

698
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:37,940
because I saw you put up the the CircleStake logo

699
00:28:37,940 --> 00:28:40,100
even for just a brief second.

700
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:45,260
But I think this I think this spits in the face of the CircleStake narrative.

701
00:28:45,620 --> 00:28:47,620
And I would like to hear your opinion on that.

702
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:49,980
I mean, they're basically doing what Kajira is doing, right?

703
00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:51,740
Except for Kajira.

704
00:28:51,740 --> 00:28:54,340
Kajira's got no inflation.

705
00:28:54,340 --> 00:28:57,140
So and their fees are paid in trading.

706
00:28:57,540 --> 00:29:00,300
Yeah, that's our own stable, though, right?

707
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:04,500
No. So the way that Kajira does it is they basically all trading

708
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:07,180
like probably Taker and Maker fees go to Stakers as well.

709
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:10,740
And so you end up with just an insane amount of tokens in your commissions.

710
00:29:10,740 --> 00:29:14,900
I think it would be more sense to probably do it.

711
00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:17,700
DIYDX is doing this where it probably goes into some sort of escrow.

712
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:21,780
And then it converts it to USDC and then pumps it to the Stakers.

713
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:23,940
I think that's a smart idea.

714
00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:26,900
I think that they should just change their system

715
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:31,060
so that all fees are paid in IST or USK or whatever the fuck.

716
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:31,700
USK.

717
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:32,340
USK.

718
00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:36,580
So I was going to say, I think actually the fact that they are trying

719
00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:41,380
to make a system that pays for itself is admirable.

720
00:29:41,740 --> 00:29:45,740
And as Noel says, I will give credit for I don't think it is.

721
00:29:45,740 --> 00:29:48,580
I think it does fly in the face of the circle state narrative.

722
00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:52,700
So heavily pushed by the cynical Mr. Frey.

723
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:57,460
However, the Honourable Future Dr. Frey.

724
00:29:57,820 --> 00:29:59,140
So fucking.

725
00:29:59,140 --> 00:30:02,380
So I started writing my first paper, right?

726
00:30:02,380 --> 00:30:08,140
And it is on systemic risk and very heavily influenced

727
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:11,340
by a certain prop that you may have seen in the Cosmos

728
00:30:11,340 --> 00:30:13,900
causing some drama in the last couple of years.

729
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:19,780
But there's essentially there's a narrative that says that a lot of the stuff

730
00:30:19,780 --> 00:30:24,780
that privacy nerds care about is like future problems.

731
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:30,380
Like nobody is going to de-anonymise you anytime soon.

732
00:30:30,380 --> 00:30:33,500
You money is as good as anybody's public ledgers are great.

733
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:38,540
That's the kind of general consensus in.

734
00:30:38,540 --> 00:30:40,380
Well, the general consensus.

735
00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:42,300
That's arguably the general consensus.

736
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:46,500
Contention here is very much overtaken by events.

737
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:47,980
That is not the case.

738
00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:52,740
And, you know, oh, actually, I was going to say, you know, and I remember

739
00:30:52,740 --> 00:30:56,380
that you Serpa was not in fact at the conference in Amsterdam

740
00:30:56,380 --> 00:31:01,940
where I saw artifact where on the trade floor, every single company

741
00:31:01,940 --> 00:31:05,500
that went to this FinTech conference that was anything to do with blockchain

742
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:10,100
was all about scraping a blockchain and trying to work out who the fuck all the people were.

743
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:14,500
And it was a bit embarrassing that obviously a bunch of VCs had thrown

744
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:18,380
a load of money at these companies, and then they'd all turned up at the FinTech

745
00:31:18,380 --> 00:31:21,100
conference with 20 of the same fucking product.

746
00:31:21,740 --> 00:31:25,500
But what it does tell you is that a lot of money is being spent

747
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:32,540
a lot of money is being spunked up the wall in the bear market on how can we find out

748
00:31:32,540 --> 00:31:35,900
who the fuck you are and what the fuck you're doing on open ledgers.

749
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:37,660
That is the big game in town.

750
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:42,420
The last two physical blockchain meetups I've been to a company has been

751
00:31:42,420 --> 00:31:44,740
presenting on that being like, hey, we're not the enemy.

752
00:31:44,740 --> 00:31:45,700
We want to work with you.

753
00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:49,100
We have all these reasons that we care about your privacy, but we are also

754
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:54,140
systematically working to undermine your financial privacy.

755
00:31:54,140 --> 00:31:55,460
Fucking assholes.

756
00:31:55,460 --> 00:31:55,980
Anyway.

757
00:31:57,180 --> 00:32:01,580
Well, see, the thing is, all you need is some sort of like scan for your eyes

758
00:32:01,580 --> 00:32:06,540
so you can like identify yourself on the chain privately and then be

759
00:32:06,540 --> 00:32:08,060
stored in a central database.

760
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:09,300
It's very, very sensible, really.

761
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:12,500
And the AI involved with this somehow.

762
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:16,460
So anyway, the long and short of it is I'm writing a paper that says

763
00:32:16,460 --> 00:32:21,500
if you have a public ledger, token fungibility is fundamentally a myth.

764
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:25,100
It's a myth that relies only on the good grace of the system and granted.

765
00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:29,780
A lot of economic systems basically rely on the system continuing as if

766
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:31,420
all of the failure modes don't exist.

767
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:31,780
Right.

768
00:32:32,140 --> 00:32:33,060
That's a given.

769
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:37,980
But every time we talk about all these systems that rely on stable coins,

770
00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:41,900
I look at a stable coin and I look at the fact it is an account based

771
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:48,340
abstraction and I go, that is fucking massive systemic risk.

772
00:32:48,340 --> 00:32:52,540
So the whole thing kind of seems fucking doomed by design to me now.

773
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:54,060
Maybe I've been thinking about it too much.

774
00:32:54,940 --> 00:32:59,100
But stable coins are like the absolute one area where, you know,

775
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:05,020
you could have like shit coins and not be not have any privacy because

776
00:33:05,020 --> 00:33:08,780
most shit coins, you don't have many of them and you use them for really

777
00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:11,260
specific things like trading or doing something.

778
00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:13,780
And then you trade out of them back into a stable coin.

779
00:33:13,780 --> 00:33:16,580
But the fact that my stable coins are still in the stable coins,

780
00:33:16,580 --> 00:33:20,740
but the fact that my stable coins are still using account based

781
00:33:20,740 --> 00:33:24,580
abstractions is, I don't know if I'll say that like, even whether or not,

782
00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:26,900
like there's obviously people spending hundreds of millions of dollars

783
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:28,140
trying to de-anonymize you.

784
00:33:28,700 --> 00:33:31,140
I mean, it's all a bit of a mess.

785
00:33:31,140 --> 00:33:32,100
So I don't know.

786
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:38,660
The least compelling part of the entire party is the USDC thing for me.

787
00:33:38,660 --> 00:33:41,780
And I know I'm a fucking prick about USDC being shit anyway.

788
00:33:41,780 --> 00:33:42,780
So sorry.

789
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:44,300
But yeah.

790
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:49,420
So wait, hold on, you're saying that USDC then is less trustworthy than USDT?

791
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:50,420
Is that what you're saying?

792
00:33:50,420 --> 00:33:52,940
No, I'm saying they're all kind of potentially a bit fucked.

793
00:33:52,940 --> 00:33:53,940
Okay.

794
00:33:53,940 --> 00:34:01,700
But from DYDX standpoint, because it's systemic risk,

795
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:05,300
it's like the 2008 financial crisis, like it's not real until it's real.

796
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:09,300
Like, MBSs aren't going to collapse until they collapse.

797
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:13,460
So YOLO, right, would be my summary of all of that.

798
00:34:13,460 --> 00:34:18,940
Like, I think the DYDX model is sound, but the stablecoins aren't sound.

799
00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:22,620
So my beef is with stablecoin, not with their general approach.

800
00:34:22,620 --> 00:34:28,460
And actually, I think what Noel described is, yeah, is reasonable.

801
00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:31,380
I think actually, both of what you guys were saying,

802
00:34:31,940 --> 00:34:35,660
we'll see what you were saying about escrow and presumably that's related to

803
00:34:35,660 --> 00:34:36,420
taxable events.

804
00:34:36,420 --> 00:34:40,300
I think that is like, that's a, to be honest, a programming model

805
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:43,860
that we need to think about more as programmers, I think, in smart contracts

806
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:48,260
and on blockchains, which is, you know, rather than, you can calculate

807
00:34:48,260 --> 00:34:52,820
stuff in shorter epochs or even at block length, but actually batching up

808
00:34:54,100 --> 00:35:00,340
largest operations into like longer timeframes, I think is eminently fucking sensible.

809
00:35:00,700 --> 00:35:05,100
And it has been happening as like, you know, loads of protocols in the cosmos,

810
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:07,900
especially ones used to cause them, that can be changed more quickly,

811
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:11,500
have been changing the way that they work on that respect to cause fewer taxable

812
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:14,500
events, which I think is a good thing to do.

813
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:18,700
And then like Noel says, like in general, like the more we talked about this a lot

814
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:19,500
with Tara, didn't we?

815
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:23,180
Like back in the day, like the closer you are to something comprehensible

816
00:35:23,180 --> 00:35:26,540
to a user like a stablecoin, the more successful your protocol is going to be,

817
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:27,300
probably.

818
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:31,380
So Noel's 100% on the money with that too, I guess.

819
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:37,980
Well, I am pretty like just interested to see how it plays out.

820
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:42,900
And to be honest, like, we're not talking small potatoes here either.

821
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:45,860
Like that platform does a lot of...

822
00:35:45,860 --> 00:35:50,980
Well, so Ben Davis in the chat said the interesting thing, he said a few things,

823
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:55,140
but one of the interesting things is that it has a Kajira like model,

824
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:58,580
but with volume, right?

825
00:35:58,580 --> 00:35:59,100
Yeah.

826
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:01,420
And that, I think, is the interesting thing.

827
00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:05,580
It's like, okay, what if we don't do a circle stake, but we also have volume?

828
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:10,140
That is, it's fucking mad to say that hasn't been tried in the cosmos yet,

829
00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:12,620
but it's been tried, but not with volume.

830
00:36:12,620 --> 00:36:19,380
Yeah, but in S, it's also the trading pairs are far outside the cosmos.

831
00:36:19,380 --> 00:36:24,700
Like it's using Tendermint, but this is not a Cosmos order book.

832
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:25,820
No, it's not.

833
00:36:25,820 --> 00:36:30,460
Bitcoin, Ethereum, like Chainlink, like all the big boys from Ethereum,

834
00:36:30,460 --> 00:36:31,700
they're not really trading.

835
00:36:31,700 --> 00:36:35,980
And I think they like the thing with DYDX is that they're going to,

836
00:36:36,380 --> 00:36:41,940
as much as possible, abstract away the fact that you're on a DYDX,

837
00:36:41,940 --> 00:36:44,060
on a Cosmos SDK chain.

838
00:36:44,060 --> 00:36:45,300
It doesn't matter, right?

839
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:49,740
Yeah, to the users, it will be the same experience except faster.

840
00:36:49,740 --> 00:36:51,260
And I think that's the point.

841
00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:55,900
Right, yeah, to the users, it will be the same experience except faster.

842
00:36:57,060 --> 00:36:57,940
And cheaper.

843
00:36:57,940 --> 00:36:59,300
And cheaper, yeah.

844
00:36:59,300 --> 00:36:59,820
Right.

845
00:36:59,820 --> 00:37:02,740
So with all this said, the interesting thing here about talking about

846
00:37:02,740 --> 00:37:07,780
between Kajir and DYDX and Osmosis is Kajir actually just flipping DOSMO.

847
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:12,700
It is now above Osmosis's market cap, which might be some sort of

848
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:17,260
representation of people seeing, oh, well, DYDX has this model.

849
00:37:17,260 --> 00:37:20,900
Kajir has a very similar thing, maybe be worthwhile to, you know,

850
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:23,420
in market cap, is that right?

851
00:37:23,420 --> 00:37:24,140
Yeah, yeah.

852
00:37:24,140 --> 00:37:25,820
But aren't you, go ahead.

853
00:37:25,820 --> 00:37:28,300
But aren't they, they're generating, what does that mean exactly?

854
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:30,100
They're generating their own token, right?

855
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:33,700
So is it, it's not trading volume because I just saw some stat that like

856
00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:36,900
Osmosis has like 93% of the trading volume in Cosmos.

857
00:37:37,420 --> 00:37:40,060
So what does market cap mean in that?

858
00:37:40,260 --> 00:37:42,260
And do you know what that, what they're defining that as?

859
00:37:42,620 --> 00:37:44,580
Like just a value of the tokens that are underneath, right?

860
00:37:44,580 --> 00:37:50,060
Like purely, purely, there's so much koojee is and here's the total volume

861
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:51,500
and it's out there and this is what the price is.

862
00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:52,180
Yeah.

863
00:37:52,540 --> 00:37:52,820
Yeah.

864
00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:57,660
So like it's above Osmo and CoinGecko right now, which is interesting.

865
00:37:57,660 --> 00:38:00,700
It used to be, you know, a hundred places behind it, or not a hundred.

866
00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:01,580
Yeah.

867
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:03,340
Several hundred places behind it.

868
00:38:03,620 --> 00:38:05,940
I'd be interested in the actual volume moving.

869
00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:09,740
Like that, that, that, I mean, in the number of like daily users and those

870
00:38:09,740 --> 00:38:12,380
types of things, like, because the other stuff is kind of manufactured, isn't it?

871
00:38:12,940 --> 00:38:14,020
Like it's not many.

872
00:38:14,260 --> 00:38:15,780
I mean, it's all manufactured, right?

873
00:38:15,780 --> 00:38:18,060
Like we all, like, come on.

874
00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:18,860
Yeah.

875
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:22,620
I don't want to burn the whole house down, but yeah, but like, yeah, you're right.

876
00:38:24,060 --> 00:38:24,380
Okay.

877
00:38:24,940 --> 00:38:26,340
Yes, it all means nothing.

878
00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:26,820
You're right.

879
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:27,660
If we bear it up.

880
00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:31,980
I have actually realized, I just, I was just listening to you guys talking

881
00:38:31,980 --> 00:38:37,620
about this and an intrusive thought pops into my head, which is I think the rebuttal,

882
00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:43,100
the rebuttal of my paper is actually that you can defeat the systemic risk

883
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,220
with a circle stake, right?

884
00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:50,060
So I feel like every time you say circle stake, it takes on a different meaning.

885
00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:53,020
It's a very useful term.

886
00:38:53,020 --> 00:38:53,460
Yes.

887
00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:54,820
But right.

888
00:38:54,820 --> 00:38:55,540
So, okay.

889
00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:58,500
So, so you know how the financial crash in 2008 happened, right?

890
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:03,140
Which was that people kept going, oh shit, we've just uncovered all the systemic risk.

891
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:09,820
But what if we made another derivative that would then just amortize our risk into

892
00:39:09,820 --> 00:39:13,460
a higher order derivative and then we could sell that even more?

893
00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:18,900
I think that the problem I'm describing is a amortized in crypto in the same way,

894
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:23,220
which is that you're like, wow, shit, there's loads of systemic risk with USDC.

895
00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:30,180
But hey, if we put it into noble in cosmos and fucking any other ecosystem, whatever,

896
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:36,300
just keep fucking spaffing it into more ecosystems, then like eventually the

897
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:41,300
token is so widespread that even if it goes to shit in its original incarnation,

898
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:43,740
like even if Ethereum halted, obviously not going to happen.

899
00:39:43,740 --> 00:39:46,420
But the bridge died at the other end.

900
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:49,580
There's still noble USDC fucking floating around.

901
00:39:50,020 --> 00:39:54,100
You've just created so many different representations of the same fucking thing

902
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:56,420
that it's too big to fail, right?

903
00:39:56,780 --> 00:39:58,300
The circle stake wins.

904
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:04,380
I'm so distracted by your fucking like academia look now with your

905
00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:05,940
toxic hair and your fucking turtleneck.

906
00:40:06,940 --> 00:40:07,700
I had this.

907
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:08,100
I had this.

908
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:11,380
I had this stuff like, oh, yeah, you fuck with.

909
00:40:11,380 --> 00:40:12,420
Yeah, but now you're wearing it.

910
00:40:12,860 --> 00:40:14,620
So I was wearing it last year.

911
00:40:14,860 --> 00:40:18,340
You just hang in the club and look at it and think to yourself one day,

912
00:40:18,340 --> 00:40:20,540
Dr. Fray, one day, that fucking day's come.

913
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:22,700
And now you've got it out here.

914
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:25,540
You got that turtleneck almost touching your fucking ears.

915
00:40:25,540 --> 00:40:29,220
You got like this tough to shit going over your head now with your.

916
00:40:30,020 --> 00:40:31,260
It's pretty good hair.

917
00:40:31,540 --> 00:40:31,940
Yeah.

918
00:40:32,580 --> 00:40:33,140
Don't be hate.

919
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:34,260
Just because I got more of it.

920
00:40:34,620 --> 00:40:37,780
And this is a Submarinus jumper.

921
00:40:37,780 --> 00:40:42,020
It's a very practical item of clothing for the cold and old and winter.

922
00:40:42,020 --> 00:40:43,380
It's look like I'll come to your defense.

923
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:44,660
I remember that turtleneck.

924
00:40:46,140 --> 00:40:46,860
Oh, thank you.

925
00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:47,340
Thank you.

926
00:40:47,820 --> 00:40:51,580
Just remember hanging on the shelf in the background with all the other

927
00:40:51,580 --> 00:40:51,740
shit.

928
00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:52,020
Great.

929
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:53,420
It's great fucking jumper.

930
00:40:54,060 --> 00:40:56,860
You're you're kind of slowly morphling into Matt Damon and good

931
00:40:56,860 --> 00:40:57,420
wheel hunting.

932
00:40:57,860 --> 00:41:01,820
And I feel like I feel like the rest of us are just morphling into a janitor.

933
00:41:02,340 --> 00:41:05,380
No, the rest of us are Ben Affleck just trying to be like, go, dude.

934
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:06,260
Yeah, make it happen.

935
00:41:06,260 --> 00:41:06,460
Yeah.

936
00:41:06,460 --> 00:41:08,020
Yeah, yeah.

937
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:10,420
Don't talk to us like you're talking about Williams.

938
00:41:10,780 --> 00:41:11,700
Like a chucky.

939
00:41:12,540 --> 00:41:17,540
Like the way I see the rest of us is like a non player character just sort of

940
00:41:17,540 --> 00:41:20,900
backing up and walking into a door, backing up and walking into a door.

941
00:41:21,540 --> 00:41:25,180
Unlike the phrase just drives the spaceship over the top of the door.

942
00:41:25,420 --> 00:41:26,220
I'm fucking.

943
00:41:27,220 --> 00:41:30,180
I you know, I wish I had actually made a meme of it.

944
00:41:30,180 --> 00:41:34,740
I could pre preload it into our into our slick podcasting software.

945
00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:39,380
One of my favorite memes, which is not really a meme because only I fucking use

946
00:41:39,380 --> 00:41:39,620
it.

947
00:41:39,940 --> 00:41:44,020
But you know, in Goodwill Hunting, when there's that scene where Chucky goes

948
00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:49,940
to the job interview that I literally can't even remember what Ben Ben, Ben Damon,

949
00:41:50,660 --> 00:41:54,860
Matt Damon, Ben Damon, Matt Damon.

950
00:41:54,860 --> 00:41:56,420
I can't remember what his fucking character is called.

951
00:41:56,420 --> 00:41:57,780
Who gives a shit doesn't matter.

952
00:41:58,220 --> 00:42:01,860
Ben, Ben Damon is supposed to go to that job interview.

953
00:42:01,860 --> 00:42:04,540
And then Chucky goes to it instead.

954
00:42:04,740 --> 00:42:09,660
And he's just like, Ritz Heiner, you know, with his arms wide and he just

955
00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:13,620
leads back in the chair and they're just like, who the fuck is this Joker?

956
00:42:13,620 --> 00:42:14,660
But look on his face.

957
00:42:14,660 --> 00:42:16,460
He's so certain it will work.

958
00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:17,860
And of course it does.

959
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:21,220
That is the single best moment in the film.

960
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:25,940
And I have a screen grab of that and occasionally just add a word on top of it.

961
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:29,940
But that's the that's the don't ask, don't get that moment.

962
00:42:29,940 --> 00:42:31,740
I was like, Hey, no.

963
00:42:31,740 --> 00:42:33,820
And next week, the word's going to be circle stick.

964
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:36,100
Circle stick.

965
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:38,220
Yeah, something like that.

966
00:42:38,220 --> 00:42:39,220
You saw it.

967
00:42:39,220 --> 00:42:40,220
You saw right here.

968
00:42:40,220 --> 00:42:42,220
First folks, the Frey Maming.

969
00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:44,540
I mean, fuck, we should just.

970
00:42:44,860 --> 00:42:45,540
You know what?

971
00:42:45,540 --> 00:42:51,100
So to the title of this podcast, right, we did the whole validators of the real

972
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:51,900
heroes things.

973
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:54,380
I made the fucking t-shirt design, right?

974
00:42:54,660 --> 00:42:55,660
That happened.

975
00:42:55,940 --> 00:42:57,140
You Serpa vetoed it.

976
00:42:57,140 --> 00:42:59,860
So the t-shirt saga.

977
00:42:59,860 --> 00:43:00,860
Oh, really?

978
00:43:00,860 --> 00:43:01,860
I didn't veto.

979
00:43:01,860 --> 00:43:03,460
I just didn't think it was that funny.

980
00:43:03,460 --> 00:43:04,460
Was there a vote?

981
00:43:04,460 --> 00:43:05,460
Okay.

982
00:43:05,460 --> 00:43:06,460
There was no vote.

983
00:43:06,460 --> 00:43:08,460
Do we need a prop?

984
00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:10,460
We didn't put a prop in the dial to be fair.

985
00:43:10,460 --> 00:43:12,860
I mean, did it really happen if it wasn't voted on?

986
00:43:13,860 --> 00:43:17,700
If it didn't happen on a public ledger, was it really even a thing?

987
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:19,500
Much like much like paying our news game.

988
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:24,860
Yeah, like it just, you know, the super the super had a fucking an opinion.

989
00:43:24,860 --> 00:43:28,500
But I mean, there's two other people in this now, like maybe we had a differing

990
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:30,500
opinion could have written in fucking comment.

991
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:32,900
No, so I fucking hated it.

992
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:34,380
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

993
00:43:36,380 --> 00:43:38,980
You think my feelings would be hurt by that?

994
00:43:39,980 --> 00:43:43,020
I have much thinner skin than I actually have.

995
00:43:43,020 --> 00:43:45,580
I don't give a fuck with that fucking light.

996
00:43:45,580 --> 00:43:48,220
I can see through your skin into your fucking bone.

997
00:43:48,220 --> 00:43:49,220
That's true.

998
00:43:49,220 --> 00:43:50,220
That's true.

999
00:43:50,220 --> 00:43:53,740
Weird lighting in here for a while.

1000
00:43:53,740 --> 00:43:56,780
Lighting in here for a guy that's quite brown as well.

1001
00:43:56,780 --> 00:44:01,060
Although maybe I look more brown than you right now.

1002
00:44:01,060 --> 00:44:02,700
I'm not this brown in real life.

1003
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:03,700
This is all the camera.

1004
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:07,580
Yeah, this is probably more the massively over exposed to be fair.

1005
00:44:07,580 --> 00:44:09,820
It's also the camera has like a lighting ring on it.

1006
00:44:09,820 --> 00:44:15,140
So I'm getting like blasted in the face by really helpful white light.

1007
00:44:15,140 --> 00:44:16,780
You're right.

1008
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:19,780
Cheek is so fucking overexposed.

1009
00:44:19,780 --> 00:44:20,780
It's not funny.

1010
00:44:20,780 --> 00:44:21,980
Like there is not.

1011
00:44:21,980 --> 00:44:23,140
Yeah, that one.

1012
00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:25,740
Oh, is it reverse camera?

1013
00:44:25,740 --> 00:44:31,540
That cheek is like got so much overexposure that it's just part half of your face is white.

1014
00:44:31,540 --> 00:44:32,540
There you go.

1015
00:44:32,540 --> 00:44:36,300
It's even that way without the reading light.

1016
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:37,300
Weird.

1017
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:38,300
Weird.

1018
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:39,300
Weird.

1019
00:44:39,300 --> 00:44:40,300
Weird.

1020
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:41,300
Yeah.

1021
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:46,540
And the weird thing is that this light, I think, yeah, it's kind of more on that side.

1022
00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:47,860
Fucking it is, mate.

1023
00:44:47,860 --> 00:44:50,740
Like literally the only thing that's here is a wall.

1024
00:44:50,740 --> 00:44:52,860
There's a wall there where my hand is.

1025
00:44:52,860 --> 00:44:53,860
But I don't know.

1026
00:44:53,860 --> 00:44:56,580
Maybe it's reflecting off the wall.

1027
00:44:56,580 --> 00:44:59,700
Anyway, it's not important.

1028
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:01,900
I mean, should we continue with the news?

1029
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:04,340
So paint your room black, get some softboxes.

1030
00:45:04,340 --> 00:45:05,340
Okay.

1031
00:45:05,340 --> 00:45:06,340
So here's the thing.

1032
00:45:06,340 --> 00:45:08,460
We've tried a bunch of t-shirt ideas.

1033
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:10,020
We tried the iDump shitcoins.

1034
00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:12,340
We tried the GoMod tidy.

1035
00:45:12,340 --> 00:45:14,060
None of these things have happened.

1036
00:45:14,060 --> 00:45:18,620
The one t-shirt design that does exist, it actually exists.

1037
00:45:18,620 --> 00:45:24,180
We fucking, those of you who are a Cosmiverse may have seen this guy.

1038
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:25,180
They do exist.

1039
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:26,180
All these exist.

1040
00:45:26,180 --> 00:45:28,780
It's not that it's anybody can.

1041
00:45:28,780 --> 00:45:30,380
This one exists.

1042
00:45:30,380 --> 00:45:31,900
Anyone can create a t-shirt.

1043
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:33,460
It's the actual building of them.

1044
00:45:33,460 --> 00:45:34,460
They're making up the t-shirt.

1045
00:45:34,460 --> 00:45:35,860
This is where it's all falling apart.

1046
00:45:35,860 --> 00:45:40,940
I think at this point, our most iconic contribution is this.

1047
00:45:40,940 --> 00:45:41,940
Yeah.

1048
00:45:41,940 --> 00:45:43,820
And I think that's the t-shirt.

1049
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:50,180
I think by default, by a sheer grinding down, an evolutionary process, a battle to the death,

1050
00:45:50,180 --> 00:45:58,100
a thunderdome of t-shirt apathy has led us to the only survivor being circle steak, the

1051
00:45:58,100 --> 00:45:59,620
only logical conclusion.

1052
00:45:59,620 --> 00:46:00,620
Okay.

1053
00:46:00,620 --> 00:46:01,620
I have to step in here.

1054
00:46:01,620 --> 00:46:07,540
I feel like you feel like that our only contribution to society is the circle steak

1055
00:46:07,540 --> 00:46:08,540
sign.

1056
00:46:08,540 --> 00:46:11,420
I mean, I still really like the North Vido shirt.

1057
00:46:11,420 --> 00:46:13,660
The North Vido shirt really did it for me.

1058
00:46:13,660 --> 00:46:14,660
That's a good shirt.

1059
00:46:14,660 --> 00:46:15,660
That one was fantastic.

1060
00:46:15,660 --> 00:46:16,660
Did someone design that one?

1061
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:17,660
No, it was great.

1062
00:46:17,660 --> 00:46:18,660
Yeah.

1063
00:46:18,660 --> 00:46:19,660
I think, I think, right?

1064
00:46:19,660 --> 00:46:20,660
You ignored that too.

1065
00:46:20,660 --> 00:46:21,660
Who made it?

1066
00:46:21,660 --> 00:46:23,660
I said, I said, let's go.

1067
00:46:23,660 --> 00:46:24,660
I don't know.

1068
00:46:24,660 --> 00:46:26,460
We have plenty of good ideas.

1069
00:46:26,460 --> 00:46:30,060
It's the actual creation.

1070
00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:32,340
It's the, we just, we all have a problem with finishing.

1071
00:46:32,340 --> 00:46:33,340
Literally all of these.

1072
00:46:33,340 --> 00:46:37,980
But like, we do have a problem with finishing.

1073
00:46:37,980 --> 00:46:39,860
I fucking don't.

1074
00:46:39,860 --> 00:46:42,300
I got a quote for t-shirt printing.

1075
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:47,740
I just need to know how many, because you need to know how many colors dipshits.

1076
00:46:47,740 --> 00:46:50,420
It seems like you have a problem with finishing.

1077
00:46:50,420 --> 00:46:55,100
Sorry, your t-shirt is a legendarily bullshit.

1078
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:59,460
Our t-shirts with fucking legendarily legendary.

1079
00:46:59,460 --> 00:47:08,020
So I have actually engaged a artist for a new shirt to draw a picture of your balls.

1080
00:47:08,020 --> 00:47:12,180
Look, the content is not important at this point.

1081
00:47:12,180 --> 00:47:15,220
We're still spitballing ideas, but.

1082
00:47:15,220 --> 00:47:19,180
So you hired somebody to redo the King's t-shirt.

1083
00:47:19,180 --> 00:47:27,660
I have made a hire for an artist and given them more ideas than you can poke a fucking

1084
00:47:27,660 --> 00:47:28,660
stick at.

1085
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:30,660
This is going to look like Picasso soup.

1086
00:47:30,660 --> 00:47:36,100
I don't think that paying someone on five recounts is hiring is the thing.

1087
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:39,340
Do you think your ideas are the direction that person needs?

1088
00:47:39,340 --> 00:47:49,300
I think they should take my ideas, put them in a box, come up with their own ideas, which

1089
00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:58,300
is why I'm paying them five bucks and then present those ideas to me and convince me

1090
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:01,100
that I need them.

1091
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:06,940
And I'll proceed to give them another five bucks.

1092
00:48:06,940 --> 00:48:09,900
Will your shirts be printed before consensus 2024?

1093
00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:13,500
I believe in our collective issues with finishing.

1094
00:48:13,500 --> 00:48:14,500
I don't know.

1095
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:17,220
Don't mind fucking issues, mate.

1096
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:18,220
He does.

1097
00:48:18,220 --> 00:48:19,220
He did have.

1098
00:48:19,220 --> 00:48:20,220
I do have a needle cash shirt.

1099
00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:21,220
So it doesn't exist.

1100
00:48:21,220 --> 00:48:23,620
I mean, I have a shirt.

1101
00:48:23,620 --> 00:48:24,620
Like we all have a shirt.

1102
00:48:24,620 --> 00:48:26,340
I do have a King knows shirt.

1103
00:48:26,340 --> 00:48:28,500
I don't have a shirt.

1104
00:48:28,500 --> 00:48:30,500
But you do have a sticker that's on my laptop.

1105
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:35,300
Wait, no, I'm pretty sure you do have a fucking shirt because I saw one and oh, no, was that

1106
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:36,300
sticker?

1107
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:37,300
I had a shirt.

1108
00:48:37,300 --> 00:48:38,300
You know what?

1109
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:39,300
No.

1110
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:41,860
Highs actually had shirts and hoodies and stuff printed.

1111
00:48:41,860 --> 00:48:44,300
So there are actually shirts that exist of five under five.

1112
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:45,300
So I take that back.

1113
00:48:45,300 --> 00:48:46,300
Yeah.

1114
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:47,300
I have a problem finishing, but high.

1115
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:52,780
Pretty sure I saw one in Amsterdam, but that wasn't one of my size.

1116
00:48:52,780 --> 00:48:54,980
I was like, ah, damn.

1117
00:48:54,980 --> 00:48:59,500
What if what if I made patches and people can make their own fucking shit?

1118
00:48:59,500 --> 00:49:02,100
You just give them the patches and they sew it on there like grandma.

1119
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:04,100
Well, you could just do that on Redbubble.

1120
00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:07,500
Again, actually good shirt rather than a shit.

1121
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:08,500
Yeah, they're pretty shit.

1122
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:12,500
You know that redbubble ones are good.

1123
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:17,940
I still make a few quid every year from some shit Emax puns that I put on Redbubble a few

1124
00:49:17,940 --> 00:49:18,940
years ago.

1125
00:49:18,940 --> 00:49:24,060
And every time there's a conference with Emax users, somebody buys like 50 fucking stickers

1126
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:25,500
and I get two points of beer.

1127
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:26,500
It's great.

1128
00:49:26,500 --> 00:49:27,500
Really?

1129
00:49:27,500 --> 00:49:28,500
For an Emax?

1130
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:29,500
Yeah.

1131
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:30,700
You're not the one that makes.

1132
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:32,500
So one of them, I actually did an illustration.

1133
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:37,300
I think it's the only illustration I've ever done as like an actual illustration.

1134
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:38,300
I drew it.

1135
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:39,300
I fucking drew it.

1136
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:44,140
It took ages and then I then, because I didn't really know what I was doing, I scanned it

1137
00:49:44,140 --> 00:49:52,140
into the computer and then I rewent over it with like essentially brushes in illustrator

1138
00:49:52,140 --> 00:49:53,140
or Photoshop.

1139
00:49:53,140 --> 00:49:55,500
I can't remember one or two to actually then draw out the design.

1140
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:58,900
It took fucking ages, definitely not how illustrators would actually do it.

1141
00:49:58,900 --> 00:50:03,780
And I made this design and I thought it was really proud of it and it occasionally sells

1142
00:50:03,780 --> 00:50:06,220
a t-shirt or some stickers or whatever.

1143
00:50:06,220 --> 00:50:08,060
And I was like, hey, that's kind of cool.

1144
00:50:08,060 --> 00:50:14,140
And then I was cycling home from work one day and I was like, huh, the word Emax is

1145
00:50:14,140 --> 00:50:16,820
the same number of letters as back.

1146
00:50:16,820 --> 00:50:21,780
And I was like, what if you put the back to the future logo, but you put the word Emax

1147
00:50:21,780 --> 00:50:23,220
instead of back?

1148
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:25,580
It doesn't even really make sense.

1149
00:50:25,580 --> 00:50:28,780
Do you have a shirt that says Emax to the future?

1150
00:50:28,780 --> 00:50:32,340
I don't own it because the joke doesn't really work for me.

1151
00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:37,300
Like it's sort of adjacent to a joke, but it's not really a joke.

1152
00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:38,980
But I just made that.

1153
00:50:38,980 --> 00:50:40,220
It took five minutes.

1154
00:50:40,220 --> 00:50:44,780
I put it on Redbubble and I think it's made me about $400 at this point.

1155
00:50:44,780 --> 00:50:45,780
Wow.

1156
00:50:45,780 --> 00:50:46,780
Yeah, I know.

1157
00:50:46,780 --> 00:50:48,580
Like, I'm not even kidding.

1158
00:50:48,580 --> 00:50:52,300
When there is a conference where there are a bunch of Emax users, some guy will be like,

1159
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:55,460
that's kind of, is that funny?

1160
00:50:55,460 --> 00:50:56,460
I don't know.

1161
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:57,460
I think it's funny.

1162
00:50:57,460 --> 00:50:58,460
Whatever.

1163
00:50:58,460 --> 00:51:02,940
And then they buy 50 stickers and then I'm like, cool.

1164
00:51:02,940 --> 00:51:03,940
Whatever, man.

1165
00:51:03,940 --> 00:51:09,060
That's really a testament to the quality of Emax user.

1166
00:51:09,060 --> 00:51:10,060
Yeah.

1167
00:51:10,060 --> 00:51:17,220
I mean, what can I tell you other than, I think there are things that take loads of time and

1168
00:51:17,220 --> 00:51:19,900
effort and not the ones that ever make you money.

1169
00:51:19,900 --> 00:51:24,700
The things you're proud of are not the ones anybody else ever proud of.

1170
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:30,820
As a project, you know, our project here, the potty, I think the only product we've

1171
00:51:30,820 --> 00:51:38,020
made or someone here made, fucking wasn't me, that is any good is the Wagtag sticker.

1172
00:51:38,020 --> 00:51:39,020
We should just sell those.

1173
00:51:39,020 --> 00:51:40,020
That's a great sticker.

1174
00:51:40,020 --> 00:51:41,020
We could sell those.

1175
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:43,380
We could sell those as a pin.

1176
00:51:43,380 --> 00:51:45,380
Yeah, it's just the delivery.

1177
00:51:45,380 --> 00:51:46,380
Yeah.

1178
00:51:46,380 --> 00:51:47,380
But we could do that.

1179
00:51:47,380 --> 00:51:48,380
We have those.

1180
00:51:48,380 --> 00:51:51,060
We have those game of note stickers, which I think are pretty good.

1181
00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:52,060
We could just issue this.

1182
00:51:52,060 --> 00:51:57,780
So in the chat, Bandei has said, is the is the jumper secret game of notes merch?

1183
00:51:57,780 --> 00:51:59,500
Yeah, we can.

1184
00:51:59,500 --> 00:52:04,300
We can sell you a Submarine is jumper with Wagtag on it.

1185
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:06,460
No, no, no, no, just classic.

1186
00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:08,900
Just the classic maybe blue.

1187
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:12,260
So you just want to become an apparel company now and not put anything on it.

1188
00:52:12,260 --> 00:52:14,420
You just want to sell the fucking shit.

1189
00:52:14,420 --> 00:52:15,420
And let's see.

1190
00:52:15,420 --> 00:52:16,420
That's right.

1191
00:52:16,420 --> 00:52:18,540
Well, I was one of them.

1192
00:52:18,540 --> 00:52:19,540
That's right.

1193
00:52:19,540 --> 00:52:23,420
Yeah, we never got the shout out in the in the picture as far as I can tell.

1194
00:52:23,420 --> 00:52:24,420
That's right.

1195
00:52:24,420 --> 00:52:25,420
We did.

1196
00:52:25,420 --> 00:52:26,420
We do.

1197
00:52:26,420 --> 00:52:28,420
We did do a second one to one NFT baby baby onesie.

1198
00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:29,420
The onesie is amazing.

1199
00:52:29,420 --> 00:52:31,420
That was a good onesie is framed.

1200
00:52:31,420 --> 00:52:33,100
Yeah, that was good.

1201
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:41,020
Yeah, I I pressed the button and had that produced IRL after after provided.

1202
00:52:41,020 --> 00:52:45,700
It took many of us to really make that happen.

1203
00:52:45,700 --> 00:52:50,540
I had to create the graphic and do all the work of that and like get it all correct and

1204
00:52:50,540 --> 00:52:53,700
right size it and then I had to send to you and you had to click one button.

1205
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:56,580
I was really it was definitely a team effort on that one.

1206
00:52:56,580 --> 00:52:58,580
There was more than one button.

1207
00:52:58,580 --> 00:53:00,460
I had to fucking upload it.

1208
00:53:00,460 --> 00:53:01,700
I had to size it.

1209
00:53:01,700 --> 00:53:06,020
I had to painfully sit there and decided if I wanted to pay the money or not.

1210
00:53:06,020 --> 00:53:08,460
And then I had to fucking press the button.

1211
00:53:08,460 --> 00:53:10,060
Rema says, well, the baby grew and it didn't fit.

1212
00:53:10,060 --> 00:53:12,020
Yeah, that's what happens with those.

1213
00:53:12,020 --> 00:53:13,340
That's the yeah.

1214
00:53:13,340 --> 00:53:14,860
So part of the fun.

1215
00:53:14,860 --> 00:53:21,700
I think, OK, so I've just OK, as a side business that might actually be profitable, I think

1216
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:25,980
you probably could sell these jumpers in America, right?

1217
00:53:25,980 --> 00:53:30,940
Because these are really cheap because they produce a load of them for the Royal Navy and

1218
00:53:30,940 --> 00:53:33,140
they have they have a specification.

1219
00:53:33,140 --> 00:53:35,420
They have an MOD specification.

1220
00:53:35,420 --> 00:53:39,420
They have to be made with British wool and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, anyway.

1221
00:53:39,420 --> 00:53:41,180
And they have to be like particularly hard wearing.

1222
00:53:41,180 --> 00:53:42,540
Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.

1223
00:53:42,540 --> 00:53:50,780
I don't think there is just a lineup of people wanting to wear British wool, robbing a bank.

1224
00:53:50,780 --> 00:53:52,140
Hold up.

1225
00:53:52,140 --> 00:53:55,460
So the thing is, they're actually really durable.

1226
00:53:55,460 --> 00:53:56,580
They're really warm.

1227
00:53:56,580 --> 00:54:00,940
They're really good and they're really cheap because they have to make fucking loads of

1228
00:54:00,940 --> 00:54:02,820
them for the Royal Navy, right?

1229
00:54:02,820 --> 00:54:08,140
So why could you not just buy them in England?

1230
00:54:08,140 --> 00:54:11,940
Because I don't think you can buy them elsewhere because they're military surplus, but you

1231
00:54:11,940 --> 00:54:18,380
can buy them bulk here, then put a new fucking label on them saying fucking Billy Big Bulls,

1232
00:54:18,380 --> 00:54:21,900
Fancy, Jumper, B. Steve Jobs.

1233
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:22,900
You're a twat.

1234
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:24,220
You want to be Steve Jobs.

1235
00:54:24,220 --> 00:54:25,220
Let's fucking go.

1236
00:54:25,220 --> 00:54:29,220
That might be a long name to put on the on the neck.

1237
00:54:29,220 --> 00:54:31,220
Is that the URL?

1238
00:54:31,220 --> 00:54:32,300
Yeah, whatever.

1239
00:54:32,300 --> 00:54:36,420
You guys, you guys understand marketing better than I do.

1240
00:54:36,420 --> 00:54:37,860
You fucking tell me, right?

1241
00:54:37,860 --> 00:54:42,620
So then you put your own fucking thing in the neck of Rue, right?

1242
00:54:42,620 --> 00:54:48,060
And then put a fancy swing tag on it and then wrap it up in brown fucking paper, right?

1243
00:54:48,060 --> 00:54:52,820
Which you can get a warehouse, just get a bunch of people to do that.

1244
00:54:52,820 --> 00:54:57,460
And then you fucking sell that shit for $200.

1245
00:54:57,460 --> 00:55:03,660
And believe me, that would be, you would be getting a very healthy margin on that.

1246
00:55:03,660 --> 00:55:06,020
Nobody wears turtlenecks is the problem.

1247
00:55:06,020 --> 00:55:11,900
Okay, so we have that's a very, that's like peak hipster.

1248
00:55:11,900 --> 00:55:17,100
You could stand at the front of your local college and flog them and at a pop up stand,

1249
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:18,100
maybe.

1250
00:55:18,100 --> 00:55:21,180
I mean, if it was 19, I mean, it's very more profitable than being a Cosmos father.

1251
00:55:21,180 --> 00:55:24,420
They tell us fucking face it academia is all over that look.

1252
00:55:24,420 --> 00:55:28,380
You could sell them like the whole tough week.

1253
00:55:28,380 --> 00:55:34,380
No, no, no, you need to paraphrase it is one of those like beanies that don't go over your

1254
00:55:34,380 --> 00:55:36,740
ear, the ones that are like itsy bitsy.

1255
00:55:36,740 --> 00:55:41,740
Yeah, like rolled up thing that the silo's way that with a year.

1256
00:55:41,740 --> 00:55:42,740
Exactly.

1257
00:55:42,740 --> 00:55:43,740
Yeah.

1258
00:55:43,740 --> 00:55:46,380
Or we should we should brand that square hat with the dangly thing.

1259
00:55:46,380 --> 00:55:47,380
Oh, yeah.

1260
00:55:47,380 --> 00:55:49,380
Yeah, that's true.

1261
00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:50,380
Yeah.

1262
00:55:50,380 --> 00:55:52,380
Maybe we should.

1263
00:55:52,380 --> 00:55:58,860
If you were a game and nodes square hat with a dangly thing at graduation, that that would

1264
00:55:58,860 --> 00:55:59,860
be respect.

1265
00:55:59,860 --> 00:56:04,860
I don't think I'm not sure you graduate and do you graduate from a postgraduate?

1266
00:56:04,860 --> 00:56:09,380
No, I think you just up on stage and then you got to wear robes and then did it.

1267
00:56:09,380 --> 00:56:10,380
I don't know.

1268
00:56:10,380 --> 00:56:11,380
You could get one of those.

1269
00:56:11,380 --> 00:56:15,340
You could get like a giant gold medallion with the chain and put that over your.

1270
00:56:15,340 --> 00:56:17,580
Even they just say thanks for the cash, Egypt.

1271
00:56:17,580 --> 00:56:19,700
And then they tell you fuck off.

1272
00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:20,700
Fuck off.

1273
00:56:20,700 --> 00:56:23,940
Enjoy your that would be funny to do with your watching bullshit.

1274
00:56:23,940 --> 00:56:30,180
Good luck out there.

1275
00:56:30,180 --> 00:56:33,940
The world's moved down while you've been in here.

1276
00:56:33,940 --> 00:56:36,420
Fucking idiot.

1277
00:56:36,420 --> 00:56:37,420
I am.

1278
00:56:37,420 --> 00:56:42,820
Yeah, I had a whole thing where I was I needed to debug some stuff on the server the other

1279
00:56:42,820 --> 00:56:46,100
day very urgently.

1280
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:50,780
And it was literally like the only place I could.

1281
00:56:50,780 --> 00:56:54,540
Well luckily there's the fucking loads of buildings now in central London that are owned

1282
00:56:54,540 --> 00:56:59,020
by University College London that I can swipe a pass go into and there's free fucking Wi-Fi,

1283
00:56:59,020 --> 00:57:00,180
which is great.

1284
00:57:00,180 --> 00:57:06,220
Actually very high strongly recommend a PhD is a very expensive way of getting free Wi-Fi

1285
00:57:06,220 --> 00:57:09,180
throughout London.

1286
00:57:09,180 --> 00:57:12,340
And then you just like sat there with all these like you're just like fuck, fuck, fuck,

1287
00:57:12,340 --> 00:57:14,700
fuck, fuck, like in the corner of like essentially a library.

1288
00:57:14,700 --> 00:57:15,700
They're all libraries.

1289
00:57:15,700 --> 00:57:16,700
There's just loads of loads.

1290
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:19,580
You see how it has like fucking 19 libraries or the fuck anyway.

1291
00:57:19,580 --> 00:57:21,820
That's probably more than it has whatever anyway.

1292
00:57:21,820 --> 00:57:27,060
And you're just like, there's no like what the fuck am I doing with my life more than

1293
00:57:27,060 --> 00:57:30,780
being my age in the like huddling the corner of a library.

1294
00:57:30,780 --> 00:57:35,460
Well there's all these fucking kids sorry with their lives ahead of them.

1295
00:57:35,460 --> 00:57:39,620
And you're just like, why aren't the fucking ports mapping properly?

1296
00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:42,700
And you're like the life of a validator man.

1297
00:57:42,700 --> 00:57:43,700
Fucking.

1298
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:46,380
It's like I'm actually 24.

1299
00:57:46,380 --> 00:57:50,180
This is just how it's aged me, you know, fucking.

1300
00:57:50,180 --> 00:57:52,180
I'm actually 20.

1301
00:57:52,180 --> 00:57:53,980
I'm actually 20.

1302
00:57:53,980 --> 00:57:56,420
Do you know what it's really weird as well?

1303
00:57:56,420 --> 00:58:01,340
You talk to undergraduates and they're talking about like, like, like I can remember it and

1304
00:58:01,340 --> 00:58:02,340
it is very real.

1305
00:58:02,340 --> 00:58:05,100
Like I don't want to diminish it like it's fucking stressful being a student in your

1306
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:09,300
final year and whatnot and looking at the world of work and being like fuck, what am

1307
00:58:09,300 --> 00:58:10,300
I going to do?

1308
00:58:10,300 --> 00:58:12,980
I need to fucking pay my rent and shit.

1309
00:58:12,980 --> 00:58:18,580
But like it feels baffling, you know, when you've been doing this shit for too long.

1310
00:58:18,580 --> 00:58:25,820
And you're just like, oh yeah, yeah, imagine not having to just buy default fucking work

1311
00:58:25,820 --> 00:58:28,180
like that it's this new thing that you're worried about.

1312
00:58:28,180 --> 00:58:29,900
You definitely want to do.

1313
00:58:29,900 --> 00:58:30,900
Fuck.

1314
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:32,900
I don't know.

1315
00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:33,900
Yeah.

1316
00:58:33,900 --> 00:58:39,820
Like do you ever like look back at your misspent career in tech and be like and then you like

1317
00:58:39,820 --> 00:58:43,020
I guess is what you do when you see somebody who's on a different point of their career,

1318
00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:44,020
right?

1319
00:58:44,020 --> 00:58:48,420
They haven't even started their career in tech and you're just like, you should do it, obviously,

1320
00:58:48,420 --> 00:58:50,340
but it is a Faustian bargain.

1321
00:58:50,340 --> 00:58:51,340
Young Padawan.

1322
00:58:51,340 --> 00:58:52,340
Only in blockchain.

1323
00:58:52,340 --> 00:58:53,340
Don't watch your blockchain.

1324
00:58:53,340 --> 00:58:54,340
Don't watch your blockchain.

1325
00:58:54,340 --> 00:58:55,340
Whatever you do, don't watch your blockchain.

1326
00:58:55,340 --> 00:58:56,340
Just stay away from that.

1327
00:58:56,340 --> 00:59:03,340
Just stay the fuck away from that basically would be my recommendation.

1328
00:59:03,340 --> 00:59:08,420
I was coming back to Schultz's comment on Kujira and Asposys and market caps and all

1329
00:59:08,420 --> 00:59:09,420
that kind of stuff.

1330
00:59:09,420 --> 00:59:12,220
I was just back on CoinGecko looking at that data.

1331
00:59:12,220 --> 00:59:13,220
That's actually you're right.

1332
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:20,700
They definitely flip position in terms of market cap with Kujira at 168 million and

1333
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:22,700
Osmo at 166.

1334
00:59:22,700 --> 00:59:29,740
But the trading volume per day is almost 20x on Osmo.

1335
00:59:29,740 --> 00:59:31,820
I got 4x from what I was looking at.

1336
00:59:31,820 --> 00:59:36,420
I got Kujira looks like it's about 1 million and Osmosis is about 4 million per day.

1337
00:59:36,420 --> 00:59:43,180
Kujira and CoinGecko shows Kujira at 600,000 and Osmo at 10 million.

1338
00:59:43,180 --> 00:59:44,180
Interesting.

1339
00:59:44,180 --> 00:59:45,660
I looked at the different websites.

1340
00:59:45,660 --> 00:59:47,460
I went straight to the source.

1341
00:59:47,460 --> 00:59:48,460
There must be different.

1342
00:59:48,460 --> 00:59:49,460
I don't know.

1343
00:59:49,460 --> 00:59:51,900
CoinGecko might be getting from God knows where they get their...

1344
00:59:51,900 --> 00:59:52,900
It's fine.

1345
00:59:52,900 --> 00:59:53,900
Research, showdown.

1346
00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:58,580
I'm just restating what's on CoinGecko.

1347
00:59:58,580 --> 01:00:00,700
Yeah, it's interesting.

1348
01:00:00,700 --> 01:00:04,820
I'm really curious on the actual volume on each thing.

1349
01:00:04,820 --> 01:00:08,900
I know Osmosis drives the majority of actual moves.

1350
01:00:08,900 --> 01:00:12,500
But because it actually goes back into one of the news items, which I don't really want

1351
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:17,540
to talk about, but one of the news items this week was that something comes to the realization

1352
01:00:17,540 --> 01:00:19,980
that Osmo isn't the real hub.

1353
01:00:19,980 --> 01:00:21,540
This is Rama's.

1354
01:00:21,540 --> 01:00:25,180
Rama says that bots trade on Osmo only.

1355
01:00:25,180 --> 01:00:26,180
Sure.

1356
01:00:26,180 --> 01:00:30,220
No, but there's no doubt about it.

1357
01:00:30,220 --> 01:00:32,700
You make that case for any of these.

1358
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:35,020
You're doing that bots trade on Kujira as well.

1359
01:00:35,020 --> 01:00:37,220
You know, at this point, I am all of...

1360
01:00:37,220 --> 01:00:38,860
Crypto is just one big bottom.

1361
01:00:38,860 --> 01:00:42,900
It's always just like a circle stake.

1362
01:00:42,900 --> 01:00:48,220
I also am like, at this point, when we have a kind of, we're all drinking beer fireside

1363
01:00:48,220 --> 01:00:51,300
chat, we really should just have Rama and Ben on.

1364
01:00:51,300 --> 01:00:55,500
Because all we're doing is talking to the chat, which is Rama and Ben.

1365
01:00:55,500 --> 01:00:56,500
Yeah.

1366
01:00:56,500 --> 01:00:57,500
Yeah.

1367
01:00:57,500 --> 01:00:58,500
That's not a bad idea, honestly.

1368
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:00,260
And reading their news, which...

1369
01:01:00,260 --> 01:01:04,180
Anyway, so I guess, Sunny, he's coming back.

1370
01:01:04,180 --> 01:01:05,180
There's a...

1371
01:01:05,180 --> 01:01:11,980
I'll put a link in the show notes to both his tweet as well as there's a link to the

1372
01:01:11,980 --> 01:01:13,340
Commonwealth, or not Commonwealth.

1373
01:01:13,340 --> 01:01:15,780
It's on the Adam Cosmos...

1374
01:01:15,780 --> 01:01:17,420
Did we mention that?

1375
01:01:17,420 --> 01:01:18,420
What the hack chat is?

1376
01:01:18,420 --> 01:01:20,140
That's what I'm doing right now.

1377
01:01:20,140 --> 01:01:21,140
900,000.

1378
01:01:21,140 --> 01:01:22,140
That's what I'm doing right now.

1379
01:01:22,140 --> 01:01:23,140
You pay attention.

1380
01:01:23,140 --> 01:01:24,140
So you said...

1381
01:01:24,140 --> 01:01:25,140
Get in there.

1382
01:01:25,140 --> 01:01:26,940
You said that kind of has sort of...

1383
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:28,420
I'm trying to bring it back on Rails.

1384
01:01:28,420 --> 01:01:29,420
Smoothly, smoothly.

1385
01:01:29,420 --> 01:01:30,420
Yeah.

1386
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:31,780
And to the news segment.

1387
01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:33,780
So smoothly, in fact.

1388
01:01:33,780 --> 01:01:34,780
That Noel fell asleep.

1389
01:01:34,780 --> 01:01:35,780
Yeah.

1390
01:01:35,780 --> 01:01:36,780
Noel certainly...

1391
01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:38,780
Should we talk about the news?

1392
01:01:38,780 --> 01:01:39,780
Yeah.

1393
01:01:39,780 --> 01:01:40,780
I made that presentation.

1394
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:41,780
That's how smooth it is.

1395
01:01:41,780 --> 01:01:43,020
So the fun thing about this piece of news, right?

1396
01:01:43,020 --> 01:01:45,420
So the piece of news is that...

1397
01:01:45,420 --> 01:01:50,420
Why do we have to derail everything of progress on this episode?

1398
01:01:50,420 --> 01:01:52,100
I didn't realize that you're doing this.

1399
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:54,100
It was very smooth, very smooth.

1400
01:01:54,100 --> 01:01:56,820
So Noel's kind of cocked us up.

1401
01:01:56,820 --> 01:01:58,820
Let's shit on it now.

1402
01:01:58,820 --> 01:02:01,580
Osmosis, right?

1403
01:02:01,580 --> 01:02:03,860
Isn't part of the Atomic Economic Zone.

1404
01:02:03,860 --> 01:02:06,260
Once a bit of the pie, Rama's words there.

1405
01:02:06,260 --> 01:02:07,540
I'm using them verbatim.

1406
01:02:07,540 --> 01:02:10,060
Thank you, Rama.

1407
01:02:10,060 --> 01:02:12,820
Requesting 900K atoms to use as protocol and liquidity.

1408
01:02:12,820 --> 01:02:13,820
Osmosis.

1409
01:02:13,820 --> 01:02:18,340
The fun thing about reading this news item in particular is that when I...

1410
01:02:18,340 --> 01:02:22,860
Back to the previous point about people we should just have on the podcast.

1411
01:02:22,860 --> 01:02:28,780
When I was reading the links that Rama had posted to this piece, I just discovered...

1412
01:02:28,780 --> 01:02:33,780
Ben Davis' thoughts on this exact piece of news on the thread.

1413
01:02:33,780 --> 01:02:35,780
And was like, that's interesting.

1414
01:02:35,780 --> 01:02:37,780
Thank you, Ben.

1415
01:02:37,780 --> 01:02:42,780
Maybe the real circle of stake was the viewers we discovered along the way.

1416
01:02:42,780 --> 01:02:44,780
What was his piece of news on this?

1417
01:02:44,780 --> 01:02:54,780
Oh, just that Ben wrote a quite substantial write-up on the post that Sonny had posted on the atom forum.

1418
01:02:54,780 --> 01:02:55,780
Oh, yeah.

1419
01:02:55,780 --> 01:02:56,780
I do see Bendy one.

1420
01:02:56,780 --> 01:03:00,780
Anyway, so I'll put a link to that prop.

1421
01:03:00,780 --> 01:03:01,780
So, yeah.

1422
01:03:01,780 --> 01:03:03,780
So anyway, I mean, also increase...

1423
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:07,780
The comment was increase Osmos TVL by 10% increase the atom.

1424
01:03:07,780 --> 01:03:11,780
And ST atom stride atom liquidity by 50%.

1425
01:03:11,780 --> 01:03:12,780
I thought that the...

1426
01:03:12,780 --> 01:03:18,780
I read through a bunch of the comments associated to this and both stride supporting this.

1427
01:03:18,780 --> 01:03:23,780
And I saw Bendy's and Robo's comment associated this.

1428
01:03:23,780 --> 01:03:30,780
There's so many people that in this thread culling out that the idea that Osmos has become a consumer chain as a part of this prop.

1429
01:03:30,780 --> 01:03:36,780
And I thought that was just fascinating that that had like that came up where that any...

1430
01:03:36,780 --> 01:03:45,780
So the AES or this idea that we're trying to be able to take this source of wealth within the cosmos.

1431
01:03:45,780 --> 01:03:52,780
And so therefore anything that gets used to that source of wealth has to be a consumer chain.

1432
01:03:52,780 --> 01:03:56,780
And I think in my eyes defeats the whole fucking purpose of this ecosystem.

1433
01:03:56,780 --> 01:03:59,780
Well, and like, sorry, continue with your talk.

1434
01:03:59,780 --> 01:04:00,780
No, that was it.

1435
01:04:00,780 --> 01:04:05,780
It's just fascinating that like, if you went back two years, I know the baron, all this type of stuff,

1436
01:04:05,780 --> 01:04:11,780
but if you went back two years, this idea that if anybody wants to take a liquidity or therefore they have to be a consumer chain

1437
01:04:11,780 --> 01:04:13,780
and we have one validator set, it goes like...

1438
01:04:13,780 --> 01:04:17,780
I would never would have thought that conversation would have happened 18 months ago.

1439
01:04:17,780 --> 01:04:19,780
It's just interesting what drives that.

1440
01:04:19,780 --> 01:04:22,780
Yeah, it's driven by DJs rather than by...

1441
01:04:22,780 --> 01:04:24,780
Well, it's kind of...

1442
01:04:24,780 --> 01:04:29,780
Yeah, well, it's a bit like, I don't know, it's a bit Lord of the Rings where I have my precious.

1443
01:04:29,780 --> 01:04:37,780
And precious, like this precious is that we have this huge amount of like, we have this huge value that we've created in this thing

1444
01:04:37,780 --> 01:04:39,780
and we're trying to figure out how to protect it.

1445
01:04:39,780 --> 01:04:45,780
And so anybody who wants to come and take a piece of that, like, then we instantly clam up and that we have to...

1446
01:04:45,780 --> 01:04:52,780
We have a method with ICS to be able to use a position to take advantage of those consumer chains, right?

1447
01:04:52,780 --> 01:04:57,780
Or to be able to make them an income generating type of source for my precious.

1448
01:04:57,780 --> 01:05:00,780
I believe you're actually talking about rent.

1449
01:05:00,780 --> 01:05:03,780
I believe you're talking about becoming a rentier class.

1450
01:05:03,780 --> 01:05:04,780
Was that me?

1451
01:05:04,780 --> 01:05:07,780
Well, so it's essentially rent seeking behavior, isn't it?

1452
01:05:07,780 --> 01:05:13,780
Where you say, I have capital, I would like rent for my capital.

1453
01:05:13,780 --> 01:05:22,780
You want my capital, so I'm going to demand rent in exchange for any marginal benefit extracted from my capital.

1454
01:05:22,780 --> 01:05:24,780
But that exists anyway, right?

1455
01:05:24,780 --> 01:05:27,780
You could do that just by having LPs and having...

1456
01:05:27,780 --> 01:05:29,780
There's processes to be able to do that.

1457
01:05:29,780 --> 01:05:41,780
What this really is, is not that I'm taking rent for that capital, but I'm taking ownership of your home and renting it back to you from an ICS perspective.

1458
01:05:41,780 --> 01:05:46,780
So it's like a traditional bag kick, actually, isn't it?

1459
01:05:46,780 --> 01:05:49,780
But ICS doesn't take ownership.

1460
01:05:49,780 --> 01:05:50,780
I don't agree.

1461
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:52,780
They don't take ownership?

1462
01:05:52,780 --> 01:05:54,780
No, they just provide the security, right?

1463
01:05:54,780 --> 01:05:55,780
They still...

1464
01:05:55,780 --> 01:05:56,780
Well, you're a lot...

1465
01:05:56,780 --> 01:05:58,780
It still has all of its own token.

1466
01:05:58,780 --> 01:06:04,780
If anything, I think ICS chains are taking advantage of Adam.

1467
01:06:04,780 --> 01:06:08,780
They're basically getting free fucking validating.

1468
01:06:08,780 --> 01:06:10,780
So they're having their cake and eating it too.

1469
01:06:10,780 --> 01:06:11,780
I don't agree.

1470
01:06:11,780 --> 01:06:13,780
They're taking advantage.

1471
01:06:13,780 --> 01:06:15,780
Except their cake's a shit cake.

1472
01:06:15,780 --> 01:06:17,780
Well, but it's not that...

1473
01:06:17,780 --> 01:06:18,780
Yeah.

1474
01:06:18,780 --> 01:06:19,780
There is no cake.

1475
01:06:19,780 --> 01:06:20,780
That's the point.

1476
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:21,780
They have no...

1477
01:06:21,780 --> 01:06:22,780
Fucking gummy bear.

1478
01:06:22,780 --> 01:06:23,780
I don't know, but...

1479
01:06:23,780 --> 01:06:25,780
Well, it's not a fucking gummy bear either, no.

1480
01:06:25,780 --> 01:06:26,780
It's nothing.

1481
01:06:26,780 --> 01:06:27,780
They have nothing.

1482
01:06:27,780 --> 01:06:31,780
Well, they have their nothing and it gets to exist for free, basically.

1483
01:06:31,780 --> 01:06:32,780
Yeah, but that's the point.

1484
01:06:32,780 --> 01:06:33,780
It's nothing.

1485
01:06:33,780 --> 01:06:34,780
If you have...

1486
01:06:34,780 --> 01:06:35,780
No, that's...

1487
01:06:35,780 --> 01:06:36,780
If that stops...

1488
01:06:36,780 --> 01:06:37,780
No.

1489
01:06:37,780 --> 01:06:39,780
If that stops, their party stops.

1490
01:06:39,780 --> 01:06:40,780
What do they owe?

1491
01:06:40,780 --> 01:06:41,780
What do they owe?

1492
01:06:41,780 --> 01:06:48,340
What you were just saying is that Adam was taking ownership and thus reaping the benefit

1493
01:06:48,340 --> 01:06:49,780
in a rentier-like behavior.

1494
01:06:49,780 --> 01:06:51,780
Yeah, I'm pretty solidator-safe.

1495
01:06:51,780 --> 01:06:54,780
I'm saying that Adam doesn't get fucking anything out of it.

1496
01:06:54,780 --> 01:06:57,780
They get to provide security basically for free.

1497
01:06:57,780 --> 01:06:58,780
True.

1498
01:06:58,780 --> 01:07:00,780
No, they do get something out of it because they can...

1499
01:07:00,780 --> 01:07:01,780
They get to say, oh, we've got an...

1500
01:07:01,780 --> 01:07:04,780
They can stop their chain and then you go to zero.

1501
01:07:04,780 --> 01:07:05,780
What?

1502
01:07:05,780 --> 01:07:08,780
How much closer to zero can some of those things get?

1503
01:07:08,780 --> 01:07:10,780
Okay, fair point.

1504
01:07:10,780 --> 01:07:13,780
That's like near at the bottom of the long term.

1505
01:07:13,780 --> 01:07:20,280
Okay, my point is, look, I don't give a shit that much about all of this complete libertarian

1506
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:26,880
stuff, as you know, but a big portion of this entire fucking circle stake is supposed to

1507
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,780
be against the idea that somebody can tell you what to do.

1508
01:07:30,780 --> 01:07:37,220
And fundamentally, although it would result in a systemic collapse of Adam, when you

1509
01:07:37,220 --> 01:07:42,220
agree to ICS, you are under the cosh of the Adam economic zone.

1510
01:07:42,220 --> 01:07:43,220
Right?

1511
01:07:43,220 --> 01:07:48,220
It is like being a state in the US and saying, we will accept federal jurisdiction.

1512
01:07:48,220 --> 01:07:49,580
It is conceptually similar.

1513
01:07:49,580 --> 01:07:54,660
You have like, okay, I'm fucking really mixing metaphors here, but whatever.

1514
01:07:54,660 --> 01:07:57,580
Some stuff you get to work out for yourself, some stuff you don't.

1515
01:07:57,580 --> 01:08:02,140
Fundamentally, if you fuck up enough, the US Army comes knocking at your door, right?

1516
01:08:02,140 --> 01:08:07,340
And in the case of permissionless blockchains, which are primarily economic in nature, the

1517
01:08:07,340 --> 01:08:11,140
only thing they can really fucking do is shut you down, right?

1518
01:08:11,140 --> 01:08:16,600
But fundamentally, on a really serious level, you don't own anything, right?

1519
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:21,040
So long as you're renting your security, you are a renter, right?

1520
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,780
It is like renting a flat versus owning a flat, something like that.

1521
01:08:24,780 --> 01:08:30,980
At the end of the day, your landlord can, under certain situations, perhaps ruinously

1522
01:08:30,980 --> 01:08:38,900
for themselves because of some economic circumstance around throwing you out, right?

1523
01:08:38,900 --> 01:08:42,580
And it might be economically ruinous for them to do so for whatever reason.

1524
01:08:42,580 --> 01:08:43,580
You might sue them.

1525
01:08:43,580 --> 01:08:44,580
Who knows?

1526
01:08:44,580 --> 01:08:46,420
But they can throw you out, right?

1527
01:08:46,420 --> 01:08:47,500
That is always a risk.

1528
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:48,500
And that's like...

1529
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:57,300
I don't agree with that analogy at all because there has to be an exchange of something to

1530
01:08:57,300 --> 01:09:02,420
be a renter like handing you a fucking empty envelope is not renting anything.

1531
01:09:02,420 --> 01:09:04,060
Well, so I think you're correct.

1532
01:09:04,060 --> 01:09:07,060
I think the problem is people are...

1533
01:09:07,060 --> 01:09:09,260
They're saying that they're going to pay rent, right?

1534
01:09:09,260 --> 01:09:12,700
Like, that's the big argument that they're saying, all right, so by taking us on, you're

1535
01:09:12,700 --> 01:09:14,620
going to earn all this rent.

1536
01:09:14,620 --> 01:09:16,820
And the reality is they're not actually fulfilling it, right?

1537
01:09:16,820 --> 01:09:19,060
Okay, but doesn't that make my point...

1538
01:09:19,060 --> 01:09:25,140
Certificate a renting analogy, but doesn't that make my concern about risk even more

1539
01:09:25,140 --> 01:09:26,140
about it?

1540
01:09:26,140 --> 01:09:30,780
You're in the position of being a renter and you're a deadbeat, right?

1541
01:09:30,780 --> 01:09:35,660
So not only are you in the weak asymmetric power position of being a renter of the thing

1542
01:09:35,660 --> 01:09:40,020
that keeps the party going, but you're also a deadbeat renter who isn't paying any fucking

1543
01:09:40,020 --> 01:09:41,020
rent.

1544
01:09:41,020 --> 01:09:42,020
I think that's a risk.

1545
01:09:42,020 --> 01:09:46,060
That's what you're saying is that they're hostages to Adam.

1546
01:09:46,060 --> 01:09:47,380
I don't think they're renting.

1547
01:09:47,380 --> 01:09:48,380
Yeah, 100%.

1548
01:09:48,380 --> 01:09:49,380
Yeah.

1549
01:09:49,380 --> 01:09:52,460
But a renter is a hostage to a landlord.

1550
01:09:52,460 --> 01:09:57,420
I don't know if that's fair though, because I don't actually see a reality in which the

1551
01:09:57,420 --> 01:09:59,980
validators go, you know what, neutron hasn't paid us.

1552
01:09:59,980 --> 01:10:01,860
We're running on this extra hardware.

1553
01:10:01,860 --> 01:10:02,860
Fuck them.

1554
01:10:02,860 --> 01:10:04,540
Let's vote them out and then kick neutron out.

1555
01:10:04,540 --> 01:10:06,540
I would probably vote on that.

1556
01:10:06,540 --> 01:10:08,380
I'd be like, I'm ready to rock.

1557
01:10:08,380 --> 01:10:11,740
Well, not necessarily against neutron, but like...

1558
01:10:11,740 --> 01:10:16,380
I mean, eventually, if it continued the way it was going, it would happen, right?

1559
01:10:16,380 --> 01:10:19,060
Yeah, so you think that would happen?

1560
01:10:19,060 --> 01:10:20,060
There would be such...

1561
01:10:20,060 --> 01:10:22,500
People tend to shut down Chihuahua like three times.

1562
01:10:22,500 --> 01:10:26,180
The only chain that I'm aware of that's been shut down is Cerberus, Kerberus, whatever.

1563
01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:27,180
Yeah.

1564
01:10:27,180 --> 01:10:28,860
And that even shut down was contentious.

1565
01:10:28,860 --> 01:10:30,540
That wasn't even 100% voting.

1566
01:10:30,540 --> 01:10:31,540
Shut down is being...

1567
01:10:31,540 --> 01:10:33,660
Shut down is separate being kicked out of the ICS.

1568
01:10:33,660 --> 01:10:35,660
Like, you would...

1569
01:10:35,660 --> 01:10:40,140
Because back to the Adam validators set, I know that we've made...

1570
01:10:40,140 --> 01:10:47,820
There's a ton of rules and I guess provisions around what validators have to participate

1571
01:10:47,820 --> 01:10:49,700
and how much ownership they have.

1572
01:10:49,700 --> 01:10:50,700
There's...

1573
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:54,420
They've broken the kind of the idea of having a validator set to be able to make this structure

1574
01:10:54,420 --> 01:10:55,780
fit, right?

1575
01:10:55,780 --> 01:10:57,100
Because the incentives aren't there.

1576
01:10:57,100 --> 01:11:02,340
Now, eventually, not saying it's where we are, but if those pressure gets higher and

1577
01:11:02,340 --> 01:11:07,060
higher and the number of ICS chains grow and the losses keep going, then those rules would

1578
01:11:07,060 --> 01:11:08,260
change again.

1579
01:11:08,260 --> 01:11:12,180
And at some point, is it possible that they say, fuck this chain, get this chain out of

1580
01:11:12,180 --> 01:11:13,180
here?

1581
01:11:13,180 --> 01:11:14,180
And they have to move off?

1582
01:11:14,180 --> 01:11:15,180
Yeah, of course they would, right?

1583
01:11:15,180 --> 01:11:16,180
Like, I mean, that's...

1584
01:11:16,180 --> 01:11:17,660
I would think, why wouldn't that happen?

1585
01:11:17,660 --> 01:11:20,940
Like, they would... somebody would find that and say, we're going to get this out of here.

1586
01:11:20,940 --> 01:11:21,940
It's not valuable.

1587
01:11:21,940 --> 01:11:23,580
It doesn't mean the chain stops.

1588
01:11:23,580 --> 01:11:24,580
It just means that export...

1589
01:11:24,580 --> 01:11:27,060
It just gets kicked out of the renting situation.

1590
01:11:27,060 --> 01:11:28,220
I don't like that analogy.

1591
01:11:28,220 --> 01:11:31,020
Ben, I just say anything at this whole conversation.

1592
01:11:31,020 --> 01:11:33,580
He is fucking walking around in circles in his room.

1593
01:11:33,580 --> 01:11:34,580
I just can't fucking understand.

1594
01:11:34,580 --> 01:11:35,580
You still embed them, so it doesn't matter.

1595
01:11:35,580 --> 01:11:40,300
I just can't fucking understand why people understand your keys, your crypto, but somehow

1596
01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:47,140
people in Cosmos have got this fucking idea into their heads that, you know, not your

1597
01:11:47,140 --> 01:11:48,140
ledger.

1598
01:11:48,140 --> 01:11:49,140
Yeah, totally fine.

1599
01:11:49,140 --> 01:11:50,140
Your crypto.

1600
01:11:50,140 --> 01:11:53,980
It's like, no, you run the ledger or you don't fucking run the ledger.

1601
01:11:53,980 --> 01:11:57,780
150, 200 validators is already not decentralized.

1602
01:11:57,780 --> 01:11:59,660
It's already fucking theater.

1603
01:11:59,660 --> 01:12:01,380
It's a complete joke.

1604
01:12:01,380 --> 01:12:05,140
It is massively vulnerable.

1605
01:12:05,140 --> 01:12:09,820
The only reason that, you know, is that luckily 200 people can never agree on anything, ever.

1606
01:12:09,820 --> 01:12:15,620
That's the only reason that there isn't any major risk factor from a 200 validator set.

1607
01:12:15,620 --> 01:12:19,220
And then it's like, okay, we're going to centralize all the remaining chains into this and this

1608
01:12:19,220 --> 01:12:20,660
big basket of risk.

1609
01:12:20,660 --> 01:12:21,660
And that's totally cool.

1610
01:12:21,660 --> 01:12:24,860
It's like, yeah, okay, at that point, let's just fucking give up.

1611
01:12:24,860 --> 01:12:26,540
Like IBC is the party.

1612
01:12:26,540 --> 01:12:29,740
The entire party in the Cosmos ecosystem is IBC.

1613
01:12:29,740 --> 01:12:36,740
And ICS is just fundamentally, it takes IBC and it just makes a mockery of it.

1614
01:12:36,740 --> 01:12:37,740
I don't know.

1615
01:12:37,740 --> 01:12:38,980
I just don't know how to put it any better than that.

1616
01:12:38,980 --> 01:12:39,980
Like I think it's a joke.

1617
01:12:39,980 --> 01:12:46,300
The two technologies are fundamentally antithetical to one another.

1618
01:12:46,300 --> 01:12:47,540
I think that's a bit of a stretch.

1619
01:12:47,540 --> 01:12:51,860
I don't want to consider them antithetical, but I do think it kind of like makes you squint

1620
01:12:51,860 --> 01:12:52,860
a little bit, right?

1621
01:12:52,860 --> 01:12:56,300
Like mesh security, I think fits pretty well within the IBC narrative.

1622
01:12:56,300 --> 01:12:57,300
It does.

1623
01:12:57,300 --> 01:12:58,300
Sure.

1624
01:12:58,300 --> 01:12:59,700
ICS doesn't hit that.

1625
01:12:59,700 --> 01:13:00,700
Harder and more difficult.

1626
01:13:00,700 --> 01:13:01,700
But yeah, I agree.

1627
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:02,700
I love Sonny's comment.

1628
01:13:02,700 --> 01:13:06,620
So he's going to, what would be a suitable form of alignment that doesn't involve adopting

1629
01:13:06,620 --> 01:13:10,900
an immature technology like ICS v1?

1630
01:13:10,900 --> 01:13:12,620
Working blockchain.

1631
01:13:12,620 --> 01:13:16,300
We deal with it.

1632
01:13:16,300 --> 01:13:18,620
We're sure technologies, my man.

1633
01:13:18,620 --> 01:13:22,220
Gold ratio said, why in the earth would the hub give us most of $6 million more in liquidity

1634
01:13:22,220 --> 01:13:25,700
when they can keep it in house on neutron and duality?

1635
01:13:25,700 --> 01:13:30,700
Well, part of the reason is that osmosis is 93% of the actual transient.

1636
01:13:30,700 --> 01:13:33,100
I don't even know how to use neutron.

1637
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:34,100
Yeah.

1638
01:13:34,100 --> 01:13:37,780
Actually, I had a look, I had a Google duality after that comment because I was like, what

1639
01:13:37,780 --> 01:13:38,780
the hell is that?

1640
01:13:38,780 --> 01:13:40,780
It's a slipknot album, isn't it?

1641
01:13:40,780 --> 01:13:41,780
I don't know.

1642
01:13:41,780 --> 01:13:44,780
I don't really know a slipknot.

1643
01:13:44,780 --> 01:13:49,980
I mean, I literally, I know that one song that always comes on when you go to a metal

1644
01:13:49,980 --> 01:13:57,020
silent disco at a festival, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, that one.

1645
01:13:57,020 --> 01:13:58,020
That's a slipknot, isn't it?

1646
01:13:58,020 --> 01:13:59,580
I quite like slipknot to be honest.

1647
01:13:59,580 --> 01:14:04,060
I haven't listened to it in a very long time, but in like high school, that was my jam.

1648
01:14:04,060 --> 01:14:08,140
I was more of a system of a down kind of guy.

1649
01:14:08,140 --> 01:14:09,300
I know what you got.

1650
01:14:09,300 --> 01:14:12,260
What is actually launched on neutron?

1651
01:14:12,260 --> 01:14:15,540
I am not aware of anything other than like Astroport.

1652
01:14:15,540 --> 01:14:17,100
Do they, do they do anything else?

1653
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:18,100
Does anyone know?

1654
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:20,500
I don't, I'm looking to do it right now.

1655
01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:22,500
I'm not a validator there.

1656
01:14:22,500 --> 01:14:26,500
So because I ain't on the old at home on the old at home.

1657
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:27,500
Tom.

1658
01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:29,820
Hey, what the fuck is this bathroom incident about?

1659
01:14:29,820 --> 01:14:33,900
I read the thing and it's, it's just looks like someone's memeing hard.

1660
01:14:33,900 --> 01:14:34,900
The old coach.

1661
01:14:34,900 --> 01:14:35,900
Yeah.

1662
01:14:35,900 --> 01:14:42,500
I, so the news item here is that there is a Twitter link and then shown us from Oxdow,

1663
01:14:42,500 --> 01:14:44,100
which I don't know who this person is.

1664
01:14:44,100 --> 01:14:45,980
I don't know if he knows who this is.

1665
01:14:45,980 --> 01:14:46,980
Yeah.

1666
01:14:46,980 --> 01:14:52,780
It isn't, isn't it is the name of the, of grandpa sister, grandpa Simpson's squadmate

1667
01:14:52,780 --> 01:14:57,780
who died while taking the, when you don't have to, you know, when they have the top

1668
01:14:57,780 --> 01:14:59,820
team in the Simpsons.

1669
01:14:59,820 --> 01:15:00,820
To obscure.

1670
01:15:00,820 --> 01:15:01,820
So yeah.

1671
01:15:01,820 --> 01:15:02,820
Coach.

1672
01:15:02,820 --> 01:15:03,820
He died.

1673
01:15:03,820 --> 01:15:08,620
He got her near carrying the art out of the, out of the Chateau, right?

1674
01:15:08,620 --> 01:15:09,620
Fuck.

1675
01:15:09,620 --> 01:15:13,220
I want to eat your own Simpsons fans.

1676
01:15:13,220 --> 01:15:18,460
Coach does a, a spaces like on, I think it's like a Friday night thing in the States.

1677
01:15:18,460 --> 01:15:21,220
It's like, it's like on Saturday here.

1678
01:15:21,220 --> 01:15:24,180
And I don't, I'm not sure if he still does it, man, but I used to listen to it sometimes

1679
01:15:24,180 --> 01:15:27,460
and I was driving places and it was fucking funny.

1680
01:15:27,460 --> 01:15:31,620
But it's, yeah, but it's, it's like the whole thing's fucking satire.

1681
01:15:31,620 --> 01:15:36,820
So I can only assume that this is satire as well, but, you know, it does.

1682
01:15:36,820 --> 01:15:39,140
I really like that there.

1683
01:15:39,140 --> 01:15:40,140
Conversation starter.

1684
01:15:40,140 --> 01:15:42,740
What, what goes on in the bathroom at Osmo con?

1685
01:15:42,740 --> 01:15:43,740
Yeah.

1686
01:15:43,740 --> 01:15:46,140
It was a little bit, it was a little bit direct, I thought.

1687
01:15:46,140 --> 01:15:49,340
Well, it's not direct cause it doesn't even talk about the hell happened or who it is.

1688
01:15:49,340 --> 01:15:54,340
But, but anyway, I feel like it's one of those scenes where there's like, you know, there's

1689
01:15:54,340 --> 01:15:58,940
a whole scene and then like everybody leaves and then someone comes out of the store and

1690
01:15:58,940 --> 01:16:01,580
it's like, it's coach.

1691
01:16:01,580 --> 01:16:05,340
I had to leave a comment, of course.

1692
01:16:05,340 --> 01:16:10,020
So what's the, sorry, I just keep going back to cause it mentioned Osmo again.

1693
01:16:10,020 --> 01:16:14,700
I was just like, I can't stop thinking about that rent, man.

1694
01:16:14,700 --> 01:16:17,500
I'm going to make this analogy work for fuck's sake.

1695
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:18,860
No, fuck the analogy.

1696
01:16:18,860 --> 01:16:19,860
The analogy.

1697
01:16:19,860 --> 01:16:23,140
If I could just make them understand my point of view.

1698
01:16:23,140 --> 01:16:24,140
The analogy.

1699
01:16:24,140 --> 01:16:25,140
Fuck the analogy.

1700
01:16:25,140 --> 01:16:30,620
Anyway, we're okay now, but we're in a position now where like the during, during the, even

1701
01:16:30,620 --> 01:16:37,900
the tail end of the bull, even a while ago, you know, the Osmo was the real hub was like

1702
01:16:37,900 --> 01:16:42,340
a meme, but also like, you know, don't let your memes just be dreams.

1703
01:16:42,340 --> 01:16:59,300
You know, but I would say that the, the, you know, the Osmo is Osmo's relevance, right?

1704
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:03,340
Not to say it's market, not to mention it's market cap was so heavily correlated with

1705
01:17:03,340 --> 01:17:09,660
the success of the wider ecosystem that, you know, is, is like, I think it's a very bearish

1706
01:17:09,660 --> 01:17:11,140
indicator, isn't it?

1707
01:17:11,140 --> 01:17:13,940
That this is where Osmo is right now.

1708
01:17:13,940 --> 01:17:19,500
And like, obviously there are newer dexism, what not coming in the space and all that

1709
01:17:19,500 --> 01:17:22,660
kind of thing that, that's all sort of happened in the meantime.

1710
01:17:22,660 --> 01:17:27,820
So if a bear, if a bull market rolled around tomorrow, would we expect to see Osmo back

1711
01:17:27,820 --> 01:17:33,420
in that conversation of like the hub or do you think other things have taken its place

1712
01:17:33,420 --> 01:17:34,820
now at this point?

1713
01:17:34,820 --> 01:17:39,060
To be clear, like, I don't, I don't think that was considered in terms of ICS.

1714
01:17:39,060 --> 01:17:43,940
I think that was one of the, that was just a commentary from, from individuals on that

1715
01:17:43,940 --> 01:17:44,940
group.

1716
01:17:44,940 --> 01:17:49,340
I don't think I would not think that the Osmo team would consider that at all.

1717
01:17:49,340 --> 01:17:50,340
Well, of course not.

1718
01:17:50,340 --> 01:17:54,780
No, but, but, but like, you know, the fact that the fact that smart assets will even

1719
01:17:54,780 --> 01:17:59,660
raise that I think is a very, I think is a bearish indicator on Osmo, but it's also

1720
01:17:59,660 --> 01:18:02,540
I think a bearish indicator on the whole cosmos.

1721
01:18:02,540 --> 01:18:03,540
What, which part?

1722
01:18:03,540 --> 01:18:04,620
I don't know that I agree.

1723
01:18:04,620 --> 01:18:09,180
So yeah, like all, all dexes aren't doing well right now, right?

1724
01:18:09,180 --> 01:18:15,980
So of course Osmo going down, whereas Adam, like, I think Osmo is still mostly known within

1725
01:18:15,980 --> 01:18:18,620
like cosmos active users, right?

1726
01:18:18,620 --> 01:18:19,860
Whereas Adam is not.

1727
01:18:19,860 --> 01:18:23,620
Adam has like coin bureau that talks about it and like coin telegraph.

1728
01:18:23,620 --> 01:18:25,220
This isn't in that scene.

1729
01:18:25,220 --> 01:18:30,420
So without that marketing branch and without like the central exchanges allowing the trading.

1730
01:18:30,420 --> 01:18:34,940
And so like people understand the narrative of Adam, but they, they won't be able to see

1731
01:18:34,940 --> 01:18:38,300
it for Osmo as much for the people who actually, you know, used it.

1732
01:18:38,300 --> 01:18:41,620
I think it's true that Osmo felt like the actual hub.

1733
01:18:41,620 --> 01:18:48,020
I think that what could have saved Osmo is actually instituting some sort of IBC fees

1734
01:18:48,020 --> 01:18:51,100
earlier or at all as it were.

1735
01:18:51,100 --> 01:18:57,780
And then like, like in my mind, what should be happening is IBC should be getting fees

1736
01:18:57,780 --> 01:19:03,820
and that should go split between like validators and relays themselves.

1737
01:19:03,820 --> 01:19:07,700
The blind share, in my opinion, towards relays because relays are the ones actually paying

1738
01:19:07,700 --> 01:19:08,700
them.

1739
01:19:08,700 --> 01:19:12,420
But like if Osmo is doing, I don't remember the exact number, let's say a hundred thousand

1740
01:19:12,420 --> 01:19:17,220
IBC transactions a day, which I think is reasonable for what they're doing.

1741
01:19:17,220 --> 01:19:23,420
And it was, you know, one cent each, that's still what, $10,000, I guess $1,000 of real

1742
01:19:23,420 --> 01:19:26,740
quote unquote real yield per day.

1743
01:19:26,740 --> 01:19:28,860
Shilty thousand dollars a day.

1744
01:19:28,860 --> 01:19:31,740
I know, like I shot pretty low there.

1745
01:19:31,740 --> 01:19:34,220
I was just doing spitballing numbers, but still.

1746
01:19:34,220 --> 01:19:38,300
Shilts, I was having similar thoughts earlier on in the POTO.

1747
01:19:38,300 --> 01:19:39,300
They were controversial.

1748
01:19:39,300 --> 01:19:40,300
I didn't raise them.

1749
01:19:40,300 --> 01:19:49,900
So what I think would be like a cool proposition would be if they eliminated like trade fees

1750
01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:50,900
altogether.

1751
01:19:50,900 --> 01:19:56,940
Obviously, this, this is like, so that affects LP and stuff like that.

1752
01:19:56,940 --> 01:20:07,580
But if you eliminated trade fees and had no deposit fees, but had withdrawal fees, sort

1753
01:20:07,580 --> 01:20:15,220
of like what, or maybe have, you know, some, some lower make, I found another one, some

1754
01:20:15,220 --> 01:20:22,180
maker and taker fees, but basically like encouraging people to bring token in and discouraging

1755
01:20:22,180 --> 01:20:24,460
them to take it out.

1756
01:20:24,460 --> 01:20:27,780
So having to do something with it was, and get rid of the fucking inflation, man, like

1757
01:20:27,780 --> 01:20:30,140
get, just chop that inflation up.

1758
01:20:30,140 --> 01:20:33,140
Like there's so much pressure on that token from inflation.

1759
01:20:33,140 --> 01:20:34,140
It's not funny.

1760
01:20:34,140 --> 01:20:35,140
I mean, okay.

1761
01:20:35,140 --> 01:20:38,140
So they already kind of have that, right?

1762
01:20:38,140 --> 01:20:41,980
I think that the big reason why, I think if you were to, if I were to have to make an

1763
01:20:41,980 --> 01:20:46,620
argument for the one reason why Osmo's prices tank so much, it's because of their 14 day

1764
01:20:46,620 --> 01:20:47,860
withdrawal, right?

1765
01:20:47,860 --> 01:20:51,740
Like after Tara went down and I saw what, cause I was directly affected by it.

1766
01:20:51,740 --> 01:20:56,460
And I couldn't withdraw for 14 days after UST went under, haven't used Osmo since, like

1767
01:20:56,460 --> 01:20:58,340
that's way too much risk.

1768
01:20:58,340 --> 01:21:00,940
Like if they need to, they need to figure something out better with that.

1769
01:21:00,940 --> 01:21:02,140
Cause that's basically what they're doing, right?

1770
01:21:02,140 --> 01:21:03,740
They're instituting a form of.

1771
01:21:03,740 --> 01:21:05,900
You can, you can deposit so easy.

1772
01:21:05,900 --> 01:21:07,460
You'll get rewards every epoch.

1773
01:21:07,460 --> 01:21:11,820
Oh, but yeah, but if you, if you undo, then yeah, you get four, you, you lose the yield

1774
01:21:11,820 --> 01:21:16,980
for 14 days and it could take 14 days to withdraw.

1775
01:21:16,980 --> 01:21:18,780
It's just not the same as good staking staking.

1776
01:21:18,780 --> 01:21:24,100
I mean, yeah, Osmo has super fluid staking or whatever it's called, um, which, which

1777
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:27,260
is you, you stake whenever you're doing LPing, right?

1778
01:21:27,260 --> 01:21:32,940
But that's such a big ask compared to, I, I'm not aware of really any other ecosystem

1779
01:21:32,940 --> 01:21:37,140
that has that, where you're kind of required to be in there if you deposit.

1780
01:21:40,140 --> 01:21:44,540
Also in general, like back to your point, like LPing is like relatively high risk and

1781
01:21:44,540 --> 01:21:45,940
the reward has to be there.

1782
01:21:45,940 --> 01:21:50,620
And it's like that much less attractive in the current market.

1783
01:21:50,740 --> 01:21:58,300
So that kind of needs to be, yeah, back to the, when you have inflation, like running

1784
01:21:58,300 --> 01:22:00,460
roughshod over your token value.

1785
01:22:00,460 --> 01:22:09,580
There's just this colossal internal disincentives to LPing within your system even before, even

1786
01:22:09,580 --> 01:22:16,380
if the, the, the period was five days, three days, you're still just like, well, fundamentally,

1787
01:22:16,380 --> 01:22:19,100
if you're not making money, he gives a shit how many days it is.

1788
01:22:19,100 --> 01:22:20,820
Like, what's the point?

1789
01:22:22,060 --> 01:22:25,740
You know, there are other safer ways of, of, of making money.

1790
01:22:26,100 --> 01:22:26,500
Okay.

1791
01:22:26,740 --> 01:22:29,220
Not loads, but there are, they exist.

1792
01:22:29,220 --> 01:22:33,300
Well, the irony of course is that the L paid because of that fucking risk.

1793
01:22:33,660 --> 01:22:34,380
Yeah, exactly.

1794
01:22:34,380 --> 01:22:40,500
The irony of course is that, you know, crypto is supposed to be saving, like making things

1795
01:22:40,500 --> 01:22:41,100
faster, right?

1796
01:22:41,100 --> 01:22:44,100
Like, oh, we want to use crypto instead of banks, because banks will take three to five

1797
01:22:44,100 --> 01:22:45,340
days to actually do a transfer.

1798
01:22:45,580 --> 01:22:50,980
And then it takes 14 days to withdraw your money from, let's just call it a high yield

1799
01:22:50,980 --> 01:22:51,420
savings account.

1800
01:22:51,420 --> 01:22:53,700
It's not obviously, but like the comparison.

1801
01:22:53,940 --> 01:22:55,100
No, absolutely not.

1802
01:22:55,460 --> 01:22:55,940
No.

1803
01:22:55,940 --> 01:23:00,620
Well, but also the, the, the idea that there's this crypto idea, right?

1804
01:23:00,980 --> 01:23:08,340
Which is that nobody, this is so different to the existing financial system.

1805
01:23:08,580 --> 01:23:12,060
You know, it's only comparable to itself.

1806
01:23:12,260 --> 01:23:17,700
Is it fuck everybody who is investing money in things like LPs and they do see

1807
01:23:17,700 --> 01:23:21,580
themselves as investors, you know, albeit with a higher risk thing.

1808
01:23:21,580 --> 01:23:25,620
Of course, they're comparing it to government bonds, to savings accounts, all

1809
01:23:25,620 --> 01:23:30,260
these other things like, like, and so yeah, it's a complete, it is a bit of a

1810
01:23:30,260 --> 01:23:31,020
fantasy, isn't it?

1811
01:23:31,020 --> 01:23:35,420
I think it is back to that lack of under, it's back to the kind of believing

1812
01:23:35,420 --> 01:23:39,300
your own hype and not understanding like where everybody else is at, like the,

1813
01:23:39,340 --> 01:23:41,060
the macro, I suppose, maybe.

1814
01:23:41,700 --> 01:23:42,220
Yeah.

1815
01:23:43,700 --> 01:23:44,300
I don't know.

1816
01:23:44,820 --> 01:23:49,780
I, we, we, I L paid some of, of what I made really, really early on.

1817
01:23:49,780 --> 01:23:52,660
In the cosmos and fuck me.

1818
01:23:53,020 --> 01:23:59,260
I had to write a bunch of code to work out the tax burden on what I ended up

1819
01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:01,740
making, which was like a couple hundred pounds.

1820
01:24:02,260 --> 01:24:06,020
And it took me like three days to write the code and to come up with a number.

1821
01:24:06,340 --> 01:24:08,180
And I was like, I'm never doing this shit again.

1822
01:24:08,180 --> 01:24:09,860
It's just not worth it.

1823
01:24:10,420 --> 01:24:10,860
Yeah.

1824
01:24:10,860 --> 01:24:11,420
Yeah.

1825
01:24:11,420 --> 01:24:12,620
It was the same for me.

1826
01:24:12,620 --> 01:24:17,020
Whenever I put it through, I think coin tracker, it was like, you made like

1827
01:24:17,020 --> 01:24:22,500
$1.2 million and I was like, okay, so I'm down like many thousands of dollars

1828
01:24:22,500 --> 01:24:23,060
this year.

1829
01:24:23,060 --> 01:24:26,740
I'm pretty sure I'm not up $1.2 million just because of the way that the LPs

1830
01:24:26,740 --> 01:24:28,740
would adjust and it didn't know to account for it.

1831
01:24:28,740 --> 01:24:30,260
And I was just like, oh, Jesus God.

1832
01:24:30,260 --> 01:24:31,260
That was exactly it.

1833
01:24:31,260 --> 01:24:36,300
I handed it, I handed like our, our coinly account like, and I just like,

1834
01:24:36,300 --> 01:24:36,820
that sounds right.

1835
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:37,660
I think that's the one.

1836
01:24:37,660 --> 01:24:38,180
Yeah.

1837
01:24:38,180 --> 01:24:43,180
And then my accounts were like, Hey, so it says, you made $700,000.

1838
01:24:43,180 --> 01:24:48,460
And I was like, no, I think I made about $290.

1839
01:24:48,460 --> 01:24:50,060
And they're like, but it says all these.

1840
01:24:50,060 --> 01:24:54,260
And I'm like, I think those are just all of the transactions that made up all

1841
01:24:54,260 --> 01:24:56,180
the things that gave me fees.

1842
01:24:57,900 --> 01:24:58,460
Yeah.

1843
01:24:58,460 --> 01:25:01,500
We didn't make, it was a complete waste of time.

1844
01:25:01,500 --> 01:25:05,140
But, and then I had to write, yeah, I think to work it out.

1845
01:25:05,140 --> 01:25:07,500
And it was like, yep, it's like $290.

1846
01:25:07,500 --> 01:25:08,540
Cool.

1847
01:25:08,540 --> 01:25:09,100
Yeah.

1848
01:25:09,100 --> 01:25:09,980
Yeah, exactly.

1849
01:25:09,980 --> 01:25:10,620
Massive.

1850
01:25:10,620 --> 01:25:15,620
But, yeah, everybody watching the clock, I can see it.

1851
01:25:15,620 --> 01:25:20,060
So can anyone explain to me what in the fuck is going on with MantaDow?

1852
01:25:20,060 --> 01:25:21,940
Is something going on with it?

1853
01:25:21,940 --> 01:25:27,020
With the, so look, it's very hard to understand.
