00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,500
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to all you green-eyed fiends and welcome to

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:10,360
Fiendish and Friends episode 2.

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:17,360
In just a single week there has been a wave of Bitcoin Cash excitement, news and developments,

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:24,160
including BCH upgrades locked in for May 2025, including virtual machine limits and arithmetic

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,320
and big ints, allowing for elegant and more sophisticated scripting than ever, and all

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,760
on layer 1 Bitcoin Cash.

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,880
BCHBliss 2025, the number one decentralized P2P Cash conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia,

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,440
has been announced for May 2025, more information coming later in the show from the BCHBliss

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,000
conference organizers.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,360
BitAuth and ChainGraph pre-release upgrades made available on Docker Hub and live in BitAuth

11
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,800
IDE, allowing developers to experiment with all the Bitcoin Cash 2025 upgrades through

12
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,120
the Bitcoin Cash node BCHN.

13
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,720
The Reaper NFT collection originally launched on Smart BCH is now bridgeable to cash tokens.

14
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,680
Community friend Teepee has launched a FundMe campaign and will be joining us next week

15
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,200
to discuss exactly all the goodness he's offering the community and why you should seriously

16
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,560
consider funding him.

17
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:30,240
New flipstarter PurelyPeer, driving financial inclusion and community growth with decentralized

18
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,560
peer-based advertising, including geocaching games, has launched and has already raised

19
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,200
a whopping 140 BCH out of a 287 goal.

20
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Xhandle Bitcoin made a joke about Bitcoin Cash coinciding with a 20% increase in price,

21
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,280
making BCH to over 500 euros.

22
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,720
More evidence that no publicity is bad publicity.

23
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,820
The Fiendish Friends token is officially claimed on Cauldron Dex and has soared to sixth place

24
00:02:03,820 --> 00:02:05,520
in Total Value Locked.

25
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,240
Its success picked up a lot of attention and we can confirm that the Fiendish token has

26
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,960
now been officially entered into the Bitcoin Cash podcast and Meme Master Luke Pryor's

27
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Meme Coin Competition and is available on Cauldron Dex with each token used in social

28
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,120
games, exclusive access to goodies and services and is backed at a minimum by one minute of

29
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,440
Fiendish services, consultation, expertise and time.

30
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,080
Fiendish and Friends made it into the news, published by the Bitcoin Cash Foundation's

31
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,320
weekly ecosystem roundup.

32
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:47,280
And if you want to keep up to date with BCH news, just follow their accounts at bchf.org

33
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,720
on X.com for weekly news updates.

34
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Last but not least, big news from our American friends, Gary Gensler, chairman of the SEC

35
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,080
who has done more damage to the crypto space than even Do Kwon, which is kind of ironic

36
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,800
as despite all the damage Gary did through protecting investors, he didn't protect a

37
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
single person from Luna's 40 billion collapse.

38
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,240
He has announced that he's standing down from his post in January 2025.

39
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:28,680
So give a thumbs up or a heart emoji to say farewell Gary Gensler.

40
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Fiendish and Friends official stance on this is good riddance.

41
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,800
We all pray that this is a sign of ushering in a more forward thinking, free market, libertarian

42
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:44,880
stance on the revolutionary technology enabled by decentralized blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

43
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,420
That was the news.

44
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:50,520
This week, Fiendish and Friends are running a new competition during this episode for

45
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,120
a chance to win a big stash of Euro tokens that can be used to place predictions and

46
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,920
wages over at bch.guro.

47
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440
And I'll post a link to a deck where you can get some more information about what their

48
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,200
services offer.

49
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:10,160
All you have to do to win is come up with the very best, freshest, catchiest Fiendish

50
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,400
and Friends catchphrase and win 50,000 Euro tokens.

51

00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Or grab the mic and share your catchphrase with us live on air.

54
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,740
A further splurge of 50,000 Euro tokens will be shared with everyone who joins in the competition

55
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:39,520
with a good entry but doesn't quite make it to the winning spot.

56
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:46,480
On today's episode, we have joining us Sayashi Nakamario, founder of Badgers.cash and Fundme.cash

57
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,520
to tell us a little bit about what his products offer and why he's so invested in Bitcoin

58
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,680
cash.

59
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:58,680
And BCHBlish conference organizer Jeremy joins to talk about the hottest P2P cash conference

On that note, let's get started and let's give a big warm welcome to our first speaker,

72
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Saurishi Nakamario, founder of fundraiser website, fundme.cash and BCH bankers platform,

73
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,600
badges.cash, where Badger coins are generated for locking up BCH for a certain period of

74
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,600
time.

75
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Saurishi, welcome to the stage.

76
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,760
It's wonderful to have you on Fiendish and Friends.

77
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Thanks Fiendish.

78
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,840
Can you hear me okay?

79
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:15,840
My check.

80
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,560
Are you there, Saurishi?

81
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,600
I am.

82
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Saurishi, there's a mic is on button.

83
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,040
There you go.

84
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,040
Hey, are you with us?

85
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Can you hear me now?

86
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,040
I can hear you.

87
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,040
Can you hear Saurishi?

88
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,040
Yeah, yeah, no problem for me.

89
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,040
Have we got a mic?

90
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,040
Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.

91
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:49,640
Can you hear Saurishi?

92
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,400
Have we got a Twitter issue?

93
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,720
Then I invite to speak again.

94
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,720
Okay.

95
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:04,360
As we can see that despite the many billions that are spent on Twitter tech and X.com spec

96
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,720
tech, there are still some issues to have.

97
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Saurishi.

98
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Oh, wonderful.

99
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,080
I can hear you loud and clear.

100
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,080
That's great.

101
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,080
So welcome.

102
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,080
When in doubt.

103
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Yes.

104
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,080
Sorry about that.

105
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,080
This is normal.

106
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Glitches within Twitter spaces is to be expected.

107
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,320
So yeah, welcome and lovely to have you here.

108
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,120
Yeah, thanks for having me on.

109
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,240
I'm from IT.

110
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800
So you know, turn it off, turn on again, usual works.

111
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,800
That's right.

112
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800
It is the ultimate guide for anyone with issues.

113
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,880
So yeah, glad that's working because if I was to turn it on and off, off and on again,

114
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360
we'd lose the Twitter space, which wouldn't be so great.

115
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,960
So Saurishi, I'm sure the audience would love a little introduction from you.

116
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,800
Who you are, what you do and why Bitcoin Cash.

117
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,320
I'll give a quick version.

118
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:04,280
There's actually a very long version on the Casual BCH podcast on Help Me Cash as YouTube.

119
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:11,880
So I was working in IT for like 10 years and decided to switch over to coding like three

120
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,320
years ago to get more involved in the community.

121
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,600
I learned about Bitcoin back in like 20, late 2010, I think.

122
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,640
And since then, I've just kind of been learning, but never really took a front seat in anything

123
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,760
just because I didn't have a coding background and feel like I couldn't really speak in those

124
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,760
conversations.

125
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,360
So everything was there.

126
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:38,000
A lot of people in Bitcoin were very technical, so it was very intimidating.

127
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,400
But over time, got knowledge and just wanted to do more than just kind of sit on the sidelines.

128
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,960
So started Help Me.Cash, which is just a link aggregation site, and started getting involved

129
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,560
in Smart BCH when it was a thing, which first got me into coding.

130
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,760
And then when that exploded, I jumped over to learning Cash tokens.

131
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,640
And that's where Badgers and FundMe have come from.

132
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,320
Yeah, that explosion with Smart BCH.

133
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,160
That was a painful time for a lot of developers.

134
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,800
And it's wonderful that you stayed on.

135
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:23,200
So what was it that made you decide to stay on and move your efforts from Smart BCH to

136
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Cash tokens?

137
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:32,120
I've been in Bitcoin a very long time.

138
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:40,160
It's kind of the typical OG Bitcoin person that's in BCH is that it's the first.

139
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,160
It logically makes sense from a technical and economic standpoint.

140
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:51,120
And SegWit happened and SegWit 2.x didn't happen and exploded.

141
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,760
It's just kind of tossing the towel and then it's all in BCH at that point.

142
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,600
So I was all in Bitcoin and then all in BCH after the fork happened.

143
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
And I've kind of been on that the whole time.

144
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:08,400
So when Smart BCH actually died, that was a decision of I actually had a very large

145
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:16,000
EVM project and I had to decide either do I go to Cash tokens and rebuild from scratch

146
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,080
or do I very easily hop over to some other EVM chain?

147
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,280
And I played around with like Avalanche and looked at Solana and stuff.

148
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,240
But my heart wasn't in it.

149
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,440
I am a BCH person, a Bitcoin person.

150
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,480
But also just from the logical standpoint, Cash tokens and I think I've said this a few

151
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:47,840
places, it seems like a Solidity 2.0 for BCH where Ethereum got massively popular because

152
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,520
of its programming language.

153
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,920
And when Solidity came out, it became very easy to do.

154
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Cash tokens on BCH just seems like that.

155
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,040
It's another version.

156
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,080
It's we're potentially at the beginning of another huge explosion of adoption.

157
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760
So why not jump in first?

158
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,880
Yeah, definitely.

159
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,520
I think there's a huge amount of potential for everything that is being built here.

160
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,000
That's why we're all here, right?

161
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Because we see the importance of decentralized money and how, I'm guessing, you've been in

162
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:25,080
the community for a long time that you've seen that from the cryptocurrencies that you're

163
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,720
aware of, that Bitcoin Cash has something that's built for that future.

164
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,360
And maybe, could you give some insight for those that listen to this that maybe new to

165
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Bitcoin Cash or unaware of what benefits it have?

166
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Why Bitcoin Cash over for something like BTC or any other crypto that you're sort of aware

167
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,480
of like Ethereum?

168
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,160
What makes Bitcoin Cash the one that draws to you and that pulls you back and keeps you

169
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,160
invested?

170
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,320
A lot of it comes down to the economics.

171
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:01,560
It's all about users and having people use it, the most amount of people possible, but

172
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,440
then not going to the extremes that the network can't handle.

173
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,200
So it's kind of like that.

174
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,840
The three bears with BTC being too small, BCH being just right, and then SV showing

175
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,840
that going too large doesn't work.

176
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:25,140
So growing over time to allow all those users and providing enough to incentivize the miners

177
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:28,560
to keep the network working long term.

178
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:34,760
It's a very in-depth discussion that is hard to get across people in the very simple terms.

179
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240
From my view, anyways, I'm bad at doing that.

180
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,000
But just like the overall design of the technicals and economics, it does work.

181
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
The design works at Hoshi the way he designed it.

182
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,320
So that's kind of why I've always went to follow that path of what makes sense.

183
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,800
It does work.

184
00:12:52,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Yeah, for me, there's so many aspects of Bitcoin cash that I think is so important.

185
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,520
So I think the original design of Bitcoin is just phenomenal, is brilliant.

186
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:12,120
And the idea of a store of value and means of exchange, this was the critical part.

187
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,400
And I think it's really interesting because the fork BTC was crippled, became the store

188
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,360
of value.

189
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,280
And it'd be very difficult to make it a means of exchange.

190
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Whereas Bitcoin cash kept that means of exchange, still has some work to do on the store of

191
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,160
value.

192
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,400
But this is where people like yourself and all of the building that happens can easily

193
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,200
rectify that.

194
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,800
But nevertheless, the technology has continuously improved since that split in 2017 to make

195
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,080
Bitcoin cash even a better means of exchange and to be even more smart while still scalable.

196
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:54,040
So for me, that makes Bitcoin cash the clear winner, certainly from those two, without

197
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,520
going into Ethereum or that sort of model.

198
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:05,280
But thinking about builders, and I think we've discussed this in person, that buildings and

199
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:11,200
products is what's going to lift BCH up and get those users up and get the value of the

200
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,200
network up.

201
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:18,600
One of the products that you've created is Badgers Cash, which I've sent a link in Twitter

202
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,800
so anyone can check that out.

203
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Maybe you could talk about Badgers Cash.

204
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,640
What is this site?

205
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,160
What made you create this site?

206
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,480
And what does it offer?

207
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,360
So Badgers is actually the second project I started working on once I had cash tokens

208
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,320
and somewhat making sense in my head.

209
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,560
And doing time locks on Bitcoin isn't new.

210
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,080
And I think BTC even can do it at some rudimentary level or something.

211
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,960
I'm not 100% on that.

212
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,560
So since I was having problems with my first project, I wanted to get something ready for

213
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,560
bliss.

214
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,080
So I decided, well, let's do some sort of time locking thing.

215
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,240
And because we got cash tokens, we can create tokens.

216
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,280
So why don't we reward tokens?

217
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,760
So it's basically just staking.

218
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,640
And so I did that.

219
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,400
So you lock BCH and you get Badger coins back for it for the amount of time that you've

220
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,400
locked.

221
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:22,480
And how many Badger coins do you get for a period of time?

222
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,120
It's 111 on the website.

223
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:30,600
So that's one Badger coin is equivalent to locking one BCH for one block.

224
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,440
OK.

225
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:42,920
So just as I was developing it, mostly Badgers was me learning what I can do and what can

226
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,520
be done.

227
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,560
And so you also get an NFT back when you unlock.

228
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,720
And it's honey is what I called it.

229
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,120
And right now it doesn't do anything.

230
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,080
And every time you do an unlock, you get a honey.

231
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,880
But it does track how much Badger coins that block did.

232
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:04,080
So in the future, for example, we could set it up so that the honey gets merged together

233
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,080
into one NFT.

234
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:11,520
And that's almost like it's tracking the fungible token value that the NLTs had.

235
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,580
But it's on an NFT.

236
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:16,240
But you could still use that in things like the game thing that I've been working on as

237
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,240
well.

238
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Oh, game thing?

239
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,240
So mostly just.

240
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Did you go on?

241
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,240
It's on my Twitter.

242
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,240
It's not a hidden thing.

243
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:28,440
I think it's just that.

244
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,200
With me and cash tokens, I've just been trying to learn and do things and see what I can

245
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,200
do.

246
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,600
So I did Badgers.

247
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,600
So it spits out fungible tokens in an NFT.

248
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,440
And so then I made a normal NFT, what people think of, you know, just a picture token thing

249
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,720
that you can buy.

250
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,520
So on the Badgers cash website, if you go to Mint tab, there's a normal NFT collection

251
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,520
of 10,000 Badgers.

252
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,880
There's like 160 sold or something right now.

253
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,880
The difference.

254
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,400
So again, just trying to explore cash tokens is because they're NFTs, they have a little

255
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,940
bit of data you can save on them.

256
00:17:05,940 --> 00:17:10,440
So I just stuck in a bunch of randomly generated numbers on the NFTs as well.

257
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:16,280
And those are stats, stamina, dexterity, strength, attack, defense.

258
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,820
They don't do anything right now.

259
00:17:17,820 --> 00:17:26,400
But the next step was, well, can we plug these NFTs with cash tokens, hack into a web game?

260
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,840
So there's nothing online right now except for some pictures on my Twitter, but it's

261
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:35,720
just a basic like side scrolling 2D shooting game where you got one of the Badgers and

262
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,800
you can connect your wallet and it'll see your NFT and you can click your NFT and it

263
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,880
takes your stats on the NFT and it affects the game.

264
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,360
So you'll do more damage, you'll run faster, that type of stuff.

265
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:49,960
Oh, that sounds fun.

266
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,920
And I saw your Twitter post on this.

267
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,760
You posted, you had some quite action after Bliss.

268
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,660
Oh, sorry, just to go back a little second.

269
00:17:59,660 --> 00:18:06,640
So it sounds to me then that Bliss 2024, so that was May this year, that encouraged you

270
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,920
to really put the pedal down and get Badgers cash out there.

271
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,920
Is that correct?

272
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,920
Yes.

273
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:22,680
Absolutely, I got to the hotel the day before and I was working on Badgers that night and

274
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,760
doing updates just before the conference happened.

275
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,760
Love it.

276
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,760
Love it.

277
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,960
And this is, BCH Bliss for me was a fantastic experience.

278
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,760
I actually met Sayoshi there in person and he got to give me a live presentation of the

279
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,800
stuff that he's been working on.

280
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,480
And I loved the atmosphere because there was a lot of builders, a lot of tinkerers, a lot

281
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,640
of developers there just trying out new things, which is exactly what Sayoshi has done here

282
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,020
with Badgers cash.

283
00:18:50,020 --> 00:18:51,640
But it's a really interesting concept.

284
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,240
The idea that you take your BCH, you take it somewhere, you lock it up in a permissionless

285
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,200
way that's also dealt with with a smart contract.

286
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,600
So Sayoshi can't steal your money or steal your website.

287
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:12,400
Once that contract, the time passes and however many blocks you set to lock that BCH up passes

288
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,120
then you get your BCH back and some tokens.

289
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,120
And this is a really interesting concept.

290
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:26,680
It encourages people to remove BCH liquidity from the market and to lock it up for some

291
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,680
fun and games.

292
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:35,840
But then, as I saw after BCH Bliss, you were sharing some posts, some nice images of the

293
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,840
characters that you had from Badgers cash and slowly adapting that and moving that so

294
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,720
it was becoming more of a game.

295
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,920
But I haven't seen much of that over the last few months.

296
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,800
I can't remember when the last post was, but I certainly there seems to be more action

297
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,440
after BCH Bliss than today.

298
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,440
Is that correct?

299
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,600
And if so, what's happening with that?

300
00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:00,960
Are we going to see more progression or are you calling off and working on something else?

301
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,560
So one thing I'll jump in real quick since I forgot it.

302
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:10,080
So the Badger tokens right now, there's only one use case on the minting page.

303
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,640
You can mint one of the Badgers.

304
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,140
They're 0.03 BCH by default.

305
00:20:16,140 --> 00:20:19,340
If you provide 10 Badger coins, it cuts that price in half.

306
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:20,880
And that's part of the smart contract.

307
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:27,240
Again, just kind of experimenting with what you can do.

308
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:33,920
For the, there's been a lot of stuff happening in the background.

309
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,920
I think it's been about two months since I really touched Badgers.

310
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:44,560
After the conference, I actually during the conference, I had a little bit of a mind epiphany

311
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:51,360
of the issue is having my first project and suddenly realizing the mistake I made and

312
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,660
being able to fix that when I got back.

313
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:58,840
So after the conference, fund me.cash got released a few months later, which is for

314
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,000
BCH people like Flipstarter.

315
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,240
So it's crowdfunding, but it's directly on the chain using a smart contract.

316
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Since then, there has been multiple projects in the works.

317
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,560
A couple big ones, some I can't talk about yet.

318
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,560
Some that are on pause.

319
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Myself, I have a couple other side projects.

320
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:34,800
Nothing officially announceable at the moment, but one to do with BCH loans.

321
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Another to do with a different way to do crowdfunding.

322
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,620
And then that one's kind of like the first steps into the BCH DAO stuff.

323
00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:53,960
So actually being able to have people pool money together and vote on what it can do.

324
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,000
And that almost kind of ties into fund me too.

325
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,720
So I actually made an article a couple of years ago about bch.do on read.cash.

326
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,000
And that's kind of everything I've been doing has been like the steps towards that.

327
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,640
Yeah, it's really exciting.

328
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,760
I've got a lot of questions about fund me.cash.

329
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,680
I'd like to explore that a bit more.

330
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,480
Before then, I saw Cheep, you gave the thumbs down when Saharishi mentioned about BCH loans.

331
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,120
Is that something you want to come on to stage and talk about?

332
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:24,000
It'd be interesting to hear your take.

333
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Maybe not.

334
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,960
But if you do grab the mic, I'd love to hear why you have some questions there.

335
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,200
But yeah, looking at fund me.cash, this is really interesting.

336
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,760
So fund me.cash is, as you said, an alternative to Flipstarter.

337
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,160
And oh, Cheepie is requesting the mic.

338
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:48,200
Okay, add speaker.

339
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,560
So Cheepie, once you've joined, yes, let's hear your take on that.

340
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,040
What was the thumbs down on?

341
00:22:53,040 --> 00:23:00,920
What's your concern there?

342
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,960
You can probably only hear me on the left side if this is the same as the GP space earlier

343
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,960
today.

344
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,440
My thumbs down wasn't about loans.

345
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,440
It was about all of the projects that he can't talk about.

346
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,080
So yeah, so many.

347
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,920
You want more?

348
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,680
I want to know what's happening.

349
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,400
Now it makes sense.

350
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,960
Yeah, I mean, we want more, right?

351
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,600
We want more projects and we know that so she's up to some juicy stuff and we want to

352
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,160
hear about every last detail.

353
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,640
What a tease.

354
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,120
What a tease.

355
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:36,800
So my thumbs down was just about being in the dark and I don't like it.

356
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,800
So that's it.

357
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,800
You're right.

358
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Let's squeeze Sire actually by the nipples and get all the information out of him before

359
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,760
he leaves.

360
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,120
Yeah, so actually, I'd like to tell me about fund me.cash.

361
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:52,920
This is something that's relatively new and is an alternative to Flipstarter.

362
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,360
So why would someone choose fund me.cash over Flipstarter?

363
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:59,360
What benefits does it have?

364
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:04,200
So the first downside of fund me.cash is there is a fee involved whereas Flipstarter is technically

365
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,200
free.

366
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,880
You just have to run the server and website and stuff yourself.

367
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:15,120
So that's kind of the flip side of the benefit of fund me is that it's very easy to use and

368
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,920
that's what the fee is paying for.

369
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Basically, you just go to the create page, you put in your dates when you want the campaign

370
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,520
to end, how much VCH you want to raise, and then you just throw in your description and

371
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:33,440
images and you hit go and then you hit confirm on your wallet and you're good.

372
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000
So it just simplifies crowdfunding quite a bit.

373
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,480
It also allows people, pledgers, people that put money towards VCH towards campaigns to

374
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,680
refund at any time a lot easier in my opinion than Flipstarter.

375
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Here you need to use the ElectronCash wallet with the plugin and it does work.

376
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,280
It works fine.

377
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,280
I've used it before.

378
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520
So I'm not talking down to Flipstarter at all.

379
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,200
But because of cash tokens, we can expand the capabilities a lot more.

380
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,320
And there's like so much stuff I could add to fund me that is on the list, the big list.

381
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,160
Yeah, that's the gist.

382
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,640
Yeah, I have to admit I'm a big fan.

383
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:24,000
So I've seen this happen many times with Flipstarter or the different variants of it that someone

384
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,120
left some money or gave some money to the campaign.

385
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:31,480
It was maybe sometimes got disappeared and then didn't know how to get it back or if

386
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:38,520
the Flipstarter didn't succeed, they lost access to that particular seed or how they got the

387
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,200
money back or depending on how it was done.

388
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,960
And for me also, it was a little bit of a challenge.

389
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:51,440
Now with fundme.cash, you can use a wallet connect supporting wallet such as Paytaka and

390
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,960
you can just connect your wallet into that, send the money with great ease.

391
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,920
I haven't refunded anything yet.

392
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,960
I'll just wait till Chipe's fund me almost gets funded.

393
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,480
Then I'll yank the money.

394
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,520
No, I'm only joking.

395
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,120
But I assume that that works and works effortlessly.

396
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:12,840
I can certainly see it's just a click of a button.

397
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,680
So this is a great website, I think well worthy of the fee.

398
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,520
And I'm guessing that's why people like GP are using this because they see it as so easy

399
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,880
and effortless for people to offer their support to campaigns that it's well worth the fee

400
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,640
of sorry, what was the fee again?

401
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,280
Was it 3%?

402
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,600
So to create a campaign, it's 0.01 BCH.

403
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,000
It's a flat and it's 1.5% to claim.

404
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,360
Okay, even better than I thought.

405
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,600
So one thing with fund me, one thing with yeah, considering my Kickstarter for example

406
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,320
is 8%.

407
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,200
And they go can go all the way up to like 15.

408
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:02,840
After doing some research on it, which I didn't do until after fund me was already created.

409
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,880
So the one thing with fund me is that the contract is open, open source and but it's

410
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:14,280
also open in the sense that the functions to interact, allow a service fee.

411
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:21,140
So that 1.5% fee that fund me charges, it uses those function arguments, but anybody

412
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:24,260
else can create a website that also does that.

413
00:27:24,260 --> 00:27:30,120
So if somebody wanted to use the fund me, the contract behind fund me and not pay the

414
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:34,180
1.5% fee, and this is shooting myself in the foot, but that's okay.

415
00:27:34,180 --> 00:27:39,320
They can create a website to interact with the contract and just not pay the fee or just

416
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,320
pay themselves the fee rather.

417
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,760
So they don't have to pay for it.

418
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:50,160
Fund me was initially another project of me learning and I wasn't necessarily thinking

419
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,160
this was going to be like a business, but I kind of got talked into I shouldn't be afraid

420
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,720
to make money.

421
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,400
So kind of throw it out there, see how it does.

422
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,600
And a lot of the improvements I want to make to fund me might end up being a new contract.

423
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,240
So it might get locked down more, it might not depending on things.

424
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,220
But a lot of the features of fund me are mostly front end stuff.

425
00:28:15,220 --> 00:28:19,480
So somebody could throw up their own website with a much better front end because fund

426
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,360
me's website is a little janky in places.

427
00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:27,080
And it's just there to encourage people to try and do things.

428
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,000
I think that is incredibly honorable.

429
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,880
So just for everyone out there who is unaware, the point zero one BCH is roughly five bucks

430
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,200
and that's what it costs to list.

431
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,640
And I think this is a good amount because it prevents sort of spamming and just people

432
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,040
putting up all sorts of junk on there.

433
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,960
So access a filter in that part.

434
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:52,840
And what I can also say there, Sashi is the way you talk about how you set that up and

435
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,680
the fact that you're even talking about how people can bypass the fee structure that you've

436
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,680
put in there.

437
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,160
It speaks to the BCH community and that's the sort of community that Bitcoin Cash has.

438
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,160
And I would say to a fault.

439
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,160
So it's fantastic.

440
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:14,400
I love working with Bitcoin Cashes because they are very morally good aligned people.

441
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,680
But absolutely it's fine.

442
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,600
Not just fine, it's good.

443
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,160
And BCH has start creating businesses around their ideas, profitable businesses, because

444
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:31,680
everyone needs to finance to be able to pay their rents, to pay their food.

445
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,800
And if you want to have children, for example, everything costs money.

446
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:42,480
And so when you're earning money from your business, your BCH oriented business, that

447
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,160
allows you to spend more time, more effort and dedicate more resources and try out even

448
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,080
more things on Bitcoin Cash.

449
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,940
So this is my message to the community.

450
00:29:50,940 --> 00:29:53,200
It's okay to earn money doing what you're doing.

451
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Do it fairly, do it honestly as you have done.

452
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,040
You've set the fees very clear, the fair price.

453
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,160
People get to choose if they want to accept that or not and they can choose another service.

454
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:07,040
And if they do choose to accept that, then the fee is part of that bargain of having

455
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,560
that really frictionless experience, which of course the less friction there is, the

456
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,400
more likely people are to contribute and the more likely you are to get that amount anyway.

457
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,320
And people can adjust that into the amount that they need to raise if it plays a role

458
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,320
in that.

459
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,120
So my advice to you, Soshi, is please feel free to lock that down.

460
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,440
I'm sure many in the community, if not anyone that you care about, would agree with that

461
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,920
because we want to see more developers be able to fund their BCH endeavors through their

462
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,040
own entrepreneurship.

463
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,760
So not having to ask to reach out for money because it's not always there.

464
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,000
And we want to make sure that things continue and developing in this space.

465
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,160
So yeah, that's just my take on that.

466
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,400
Yeah, it's been a discussion I've had.

467
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,480
But the cash starter contract, which is behind FundMe, is on the blockchain.

468
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,480
It's there.

469
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,960
It's not going anywhere.

470
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:08,960
It's fully open and anybody can use it hundreds of years into the future.

471
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:09,960
That's great.

472
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Although I'm guessing maybe in hundreds of years the future will have something even

473
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,600
better.

474
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Most likely.

475
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,600
Most likely.

476
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Yeah.

477
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,600
Great.

478
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:25,800
Then, yeah, is anyone in the audience have any questions for Soshi?

479
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,800
I do.

480
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:33,200
I would love to hear a little bit more about, I've been impressed to see that the traction

481
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,320
on the site is starting to build up.

482
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,200
You know, firstly, with this one campaign, two campaigns.

483
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,160
Now there's already a bit of a backlog.

484
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,720
And that's great because that's a huge, another upgrade over FlipStarter.

485
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,840
Because all the FlipStarter were hosted separately.

486
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,080
It's great for decentralization, et cetera.

487
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:54,440
But it made it very hard to keep track of what campaigns had been run before, who had

488
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,760
funded them, what they'd done, what they'd promised, et cetera.

489
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,680
But with FundMe, it's also naturally aggregated together in one place.

490
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,360
And you can just look back in the history and find those.

491
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,480
At the moment, it's small enough that you can just quickly scroll around there and find

492
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,620
what you're looking for.

493
00:32:09,620 --> 00:32:14,320
But in the future, that will become harder and harder to do, especially as like for I

494
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:20,160
am the first FundMe and I'm probably soon going to do my second FundMe campaign.

495
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,920
So it would be great then if there was like a section with or a filter or something so

496
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,800
that you could just look for Bitcoin Cash Pod guys.

497
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,800
You could just see the history building up over time to create confidence for future

498
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,360
investors, right?

499
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,360
In another campaign.

500
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,120
And in that way, get people into recurring income working in the industry.

501
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,840
So I'm wondering what sort of plans, if any, there are for improving that visibility on

502
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,840
the delivery.

503
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,800
Like you could have a little delivered status.

504
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,600
You could check up on people after a little while, give them a space to write an update

505
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,080
over time, anything like that would be awesome.

506
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,120
And also separately, which is sort of related to stats at the top.

507
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,560
I love the stats where it says how many BCH have been raised, how many people have been

508
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,400
funded, et cetera, as those numbers take up over time builds so much credibility for

509
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,400
the site.

510
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,560
And that's great, but that might also be something else to improve in the future in terms of

511
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,840
more metrics, graphs, linking that to how many people have delivered or how much has

512
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,840
been done, et cetera.

513
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:31,600
Yeah, the stats on the site are technically static except for the total raisin pledges

514
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,000
supposed to dynamically update.

515
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,880
But there's a bug with that right now, which I know what the problem is, I just haven't

516
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,800
got around to it.

517
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:45,960
But doing the historical, like the archived campaigns and everything around that, once

518
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:51,480
we start getting more campaigns is definitely near the top of my very big list, being able

519
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,520
to filter them and do things like that.

520
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,640
So there's definitely plans.

521
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,760
I got some ideas around some of it.

522
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,200
So that will happen at some point.

523
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,240
It's just a matter of when.

524
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:10,120
The only real major feature I've added to FundMe recently was campaign creators can do

525
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,740
an update now on their campaign.

526
00:34:12,740 --> 00:34:18,880
So Jeremy, like you could actually go to your old FundMe that you did and there's the update

527
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,880
tab.

528
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,380
As long as you're connected with the address that created it, it'll automatically show

529
00:34:23,380 --> 00:34:27,400
up a little edit box, just like when you created it.

530
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,440
And you can put whatever message you want in there and submit, and then it posts it

531
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,840
as an update that everybody can see.

532
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:42,240
So FundMe that I actually did for the learning classes, I think it has two on it right now,

533
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:43,760
just as an example.

534
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,440
So yeah, definitely a lot of things around that are at the top of the list.

535
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,640
It's just a matter of time to work on it.

536
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,440
Yeah, as always.

537
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:58,280
But that's super cool because then it's turning into almost a bit of an accountability, sort

538
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,680
of get for free as a part of doing that.

539
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,760
Like I already have the Bitcoin Cash Podcast website and I can make a big effort to try

540
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,560
and record a lot of what I do to build up this credibility.

541
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,360
But the easier we can make that for new people, like somebody new coming to the community

542
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,720
might not know that that's what they should do or that's how they...

543
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:22,440
So the more we can help people with the tools inbuilt right there to build up that credibility

544
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,440
and help them get the best chance of delivering the results and getting funded again.

545
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,440
That's just absolutely amazing.

546
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:34,440
Yeah, that was kind of the idea around the archive and having it set up like that.

547
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:41,160
And also it's like another thing that's on the list is allowing pledgers to vote against

548
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,480
campaigns that have finished of like, do they approve or not approve based off the funding

549
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,880
or what happened to the campaign?

550
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,360
And like that's a whole other expansion to the FundMe contracts or the cash store contracts

551
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:59,840
rather that is I've spent a bunch of time and I do have some like basic implementations,

552
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,840
but just need time.

553
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:09,000
And that's kind of why I did the learning classes recently or planning to do them is

554
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,520
just to try and get some more eyes on it because at this stage BCH is extremely powerful, but

555
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160
we need people to actually be building.

556
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,280
Yeah, definitely.

557
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,040
More people in the ecosystem will help.

558
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,360
So Sasha, I understand you were at a BTC meetup last night.

559
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:32,480
Did you manage to get any of the people interested or the interest peak to come into the BCH world

560
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,080
and start tinkering here?

561
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,080
No.

562
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,720
Yeah, it was quite maxi.

563
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:50,840
Wasn't much progress made on that front and there was a lot of new people there to crypto

564
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:58,400
in general and they got a very big presentation about mining at home, which I just kind of

565
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,120
wanted to facepalm the entire time.

566
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,120
Oh, jeez.

567
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,000
Were they actually trying to sell that as a...

568
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,400
What were they selling that as a helping the network or making money?

569
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,640
I mean, how do you sell that mining at home for BTC?

570
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,680
Yeah, it was a little bit of everything.

571
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,800
The guys running the presentation were good.

572
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:21,600
They're actually the guys that make the bit, bit acts, little miners.

573
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:27,680
But the overall conversation was, yeah, generally industrial mining, how many thousands it costs

574
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,840
to get it working in your house to replace your furnace and stuff, which there's interesting

575
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,360
things about that type of stuff.

576
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,280
But you could just tell that most of the people that were there to learn have not really heard

577
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,640
anything about crypto and they were specifically interested in profit.

578
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,640
Yeah.

579
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:47,200
And if you want profit, you don't really want to be in the mining sector unless you have

580
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,520
millions of dollars.

581
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,640
Unless you have millions of dollars and are somewhere where the energy is particularly

582
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:58,080
cheap, it's probably going to cost you money.

583
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,040
But I think the profit is the normal reason why people are attracted to cryptocurrency.

584
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,920
We have to be honest here.

585
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:10,360
They come for the gains, but they stay for the feels, especially in Bitcoin Cash.

586
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,440
And this is where the more builders we've got, the more products that are being put

587
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,480
out there, the more people will come in and they'll see that and they're more likely to

588
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,640
come in because there's activity there.

589
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,760
There's a chance to be part of the pioneering force.

590
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,880
But I think that's the reality of whether it's 98% or 99%, but I'm pretty sure it's

591
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,320
about there.

592
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,960
People get into crypto because, hey, there's money in this, right?

593
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,800
Yeah, just to give context.

594
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,800
I'm in Alberta, Canada, and the electricity here is very expensive.

595
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,760
So any mining that you're going to do here, unless you're a very large industrial player

596
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,000
that's worked out a special deal, definitely you're not going to be making anything.

597
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,760
Yeah, I mean, I'm in Germany and the cost of electricity is about 40 cents per kilowatt

598
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,760
hour.

599
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,960
So you can't mine, not at a huge cost.

600
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,480
Just want to do a quick pause.

601
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,480
I just want to read out.

602
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:12,040
So a reminder to everyone that there's the competition to win 50,000 furu and the winner

603
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:17,160
will get 50,000 furu, runners up will get the remaining sort of just over 50,000.

604
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,160
We've had a few entrants here.

605
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,160
I just like to read out this one.

606
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,160
I think this is pretty cool.

607
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,720
So a Finnish from friends catchphrase, real money, real tokens, real talk.

608
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:25,720
Finnish from friends.

609
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:26,720
It's nice.

610
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:29,080
There's also some other ones, but it would take the next hour to read them out.

611
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,200
So I'm going to leave those ones to the side, but maybe they're going to be...

612
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,040
I certainly entered into the competition for the runner up prize, but if there's anyone

613
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:41,960
out there with a great catchphrase, do comment it in under this spaces for a chance to win

614
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,720
that 50,000 furu or one of the runner up prizes.

615
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,840
So actually thank you so much for your time.

616
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,360
And it's really, I'm so privileged to have met you in person.

617
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:58,840
And I think that what you're doing for fun is already a lot more than what many people

618
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,440
are doing for serious.

619
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,360
So I'm really excited to see the outcome of the projects that you're working on.

620
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,720
And I can't wait until you can share some more details.

621
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:12,920
And I really, I would be wonderful to be able to see you again in person.

622
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:18,400
I really hope that some magic happens and you're able to attend BCH Bliss next year

623
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,880
with your wife.

624
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,680
And, but if not, we understand.

625
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,120
But thank you so much for being here.

626
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,720
And it was always a pleasure.

627
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:28,720
Yeah.

628
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:30,280
Thanks for having me.

629
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,560
He's trying to talk me into it.

630
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,560
So we'll see.

631
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,200
Oh, fantastic.

632
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:43,600
This is, you know, we had, we saw BCH Bliss, there was 60 tickets sold.

633
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,200
And what I'm, I'd love to see it.

634
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,800
That's the majority of the people that went there from what I experienced had a really

635
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,920
nice time, shared some, some great moments with each other.

636
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,920
And I'm really would love to see the majority come back and then to grow on that with new

637
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,920
fresh entrance to the BCH Bliss experience.

638
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,320
And while we're on the BCH Bliss topic, we've got Jeremy here.

639
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:09,160
So please welcome Jeremy, one of the organizers of BCH Bliss, also developer behind Celine

640
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:15,480
Wallet and organizer of the 2024 BCH Cash Tokens Mean Coin Competition.

641
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:16,480
Jeremy, welcome.

642
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,480
Second show.

643
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,480
You're already your second.

644
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,480
Glad to be here.

645
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,480
I'm a regular.

646
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,480
You're a regular.

647
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,480
Yes.

648
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:29,920
Before we dive into the most exciting topic that you've come to talk about BCH Bliss,

649
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,240
I just want to have a quick update.

650
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:33,080
I'm sure many people are interested.

651
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,840
How's the Mean Coin Competition going?

652
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,920
How many coins have been submitted so far?

653
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,720
And could you talk a little bit about the very best of the tokens that have been entered?

654
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:45,280
And I'd love to know one of the worst.

655
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,680
Well we've had a, we've had a mix.

656
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,820
To be honest, I haven't looked at the actual wallet where we're accepting the submissions

657
00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:56,080
yet because I want to get a good sense from myself.

658
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:00,960
If I see the tokens coming up, you know, on my social media feed, if they're doing a good

659
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,600
job marketing, they're attracting attention.

660
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,480
They're attracting buzz without me necessarily knowing that they're entered immediately,

661
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,480
right?

662
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,800
Because that's exactly how you experience a token in the real world.

663
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,840
You're not, you know, you don't have a list of these are the things I want to look into.

664
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,480
You know, you just see what's out there and then what jumps out at you is what's doing

665
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,520
the best job of marketing and getting your attention.

666
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,480
So I couldn't give you the stats on the exact amount of submissions.

667
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:33,920
I know for sure we have the fiendish token that you have done, which has been quite a

668
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,240
strong entrance, at least so far.

669
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:37,240
It's listed on Cauldron.

670
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:42,400
It has a fascinating concept with being linked to your time.

671
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,880
It has nice graphics.

672
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,920
You've done this show as a tie in to that.

673
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,640
So that's very impressive work already.

674
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,360
And I think even if just that came out of the competition, it already would have been

675
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:56,360
worth that time to run.

676
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,560
But we've had a couple of others as well too.

677
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:04,640
I've seen Yorn and Smile Token have both been created and they've had some more sort of,

678
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,640
I don't know what the word is, not Pepe style graphics exactly, but more of that kind of

679
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:15,840
internet cartoon look has been catching my eye a little bit.

680
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:21,280
They've done some promotions on Twitter and so forth as well too.

681
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,680
So we're generating some buzz there.

682
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,200
And then obviously we have the two categories.

683
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,440
So people can submit in the cash tokens.

684
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,440
There's been some work there.

685
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,560
Paul, shout out to him as well.

686
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:39,880
He made a video that you've referenced before I know too about how to make coins and how

687
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,440
to list them on Cauldron and so forth.

688
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,560
So that was also very inspiring because part of the goals of the competition is to drive

689
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:54,520
not only using the tooling, but actually explaining it, doing tutorials and creating new tooling

690
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,600
and where it's needed for other people to follow up.

691
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,800
So that might also be kind of in the running.

692
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:08,120
I don't know whether he submitted a token that he made as a test or whether he's going

693
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:13,560
to or if it will just be that video, but that's also caught my eye as something maybe was

694
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:14,560
rewarding.

695
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:20,840
And then we have the non-cash tokens section like we did last year with the people can

696
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:21,840
do images.

697
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,120
We've had a poll submitted actually, which I quite liked.

698
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,800
I think we've had at least one, probably maybe two videos as well.

699
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,320
So there's competition is quite hot in that category as well.

700
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,000
So it's maybe you could maybe you could share some.

701
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,640
Have you retweeted those ones?

702
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,460
I haven't been retweeting them all too much.

703
00:44:45,460 --> 00:44:49,600
And that's honestly a bit of a state of the BCH ecosystem.

704
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:55,280
These days there's so much going on that I can't just retweet, you know, absolutely everything.

705
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,200
So I have to be a little bit selective.

706
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,200
There's so much going on.

707
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:03,680
But if you go on my profile and you click on the pin post and then scroll down in the

708
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:10,080
comments there, you can see people are replying with their images and the videos and all kinds

709
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,080
of stuff.

710
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,080
There's actually, gosh, I'm just looking now.

711
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,080
There's some new ones that I hadn't seen before.

712
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,080
It's crazy.

713
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,440
There's too much stuff going on right now, BCH.

714
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,840
I've had this thought as well.

715
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,680
So for everyone that's listening, just tone it down because I'm also someone I like retweeting

716
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,760
when I see stuff that's like, hey, that's really interesting.

717
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,760
That's great development.

718
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:29,760
I like retweeting that.

719
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,800
And I do feel that I just pick up Twitter and everything I read is like, yes, this is

720
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:35,800
awesome.

721
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:36,800
Retweet.

722
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,800
Okay, that's 20 retweets in the last hour.

723
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:39,960
I better cool it down.

724
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,240
So yeah, head on to Jeremy's profile.

725
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:46,440
And I'm actually just going on there now.

726
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,600
Let's see.

727
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:52,400
The bar is going up definitely for earning a retweet from me.

728
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,440
And that's such a brilliant sign as the ecosystem grows.

729
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,640
When I started the BCH podcast, I had to do a little bit of manufacturing something to

730
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,640
talk about.

731
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,560
There wasn't necessarily tons going on within BCH.

732
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:10,960
Had to look in the rest of crypto and have different guests or talk about the history

733
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,040
things that were happening in the past.

734
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:19,080
But these days, there is absolutely no shortage and I just cannot cover everything.

735
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,720
So that's just great.

736
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:26,600
The scene is just starting to really take off in the amount of energy and activity and

737
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,600
different elements.

738
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,760
So that's a great thing.

739
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,880
And I love to see it, but does have the natural side effect that the selective pressure becomes

740
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:42,360
higher and higher and higher to break through in terms of getting retweet or segment on

741
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,400
the show or something like that.

742
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,400
And that's good.

743
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,920
That's just the sort of a capitalist process.

744
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:53,640
It's really iteration driving quality as people try and deliver bigger and bigger announcements

745
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:59,720
or projects or ideas to get that mindshare to an increasingly large audience as well

746
00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:01,200
too, which is amazing.

747
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Yeah, definitely.

748
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,840
Yeah, it's a really exciting moment for the community.

749
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:11,600
I genuinely wish we had some sort of tracker of if I was to log that, how many interesting

750
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,000
BCH developments I see, like genuinely interesting developments.

751
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,640
I'm convinced that the last few weeks alone have been just mind blowing.

752
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:19,640
Like XO being announced.

753
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,640
I mean, just today, I think it was today, I don't know, it's moving so quickly.

754
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,960
It had Cauldron decks, had their upgrades and it looks just so much better now.

755
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,840
And you can see all the transactions really easily that have happened.

756
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,080
But it's just continuous.

757
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,880
It's just things pinging off left, right and center.

758
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,520
And it's a great time to be in the community.

759
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:39,880
I love seeing this development.

760
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:47,280
So yeah, everyone is invited to join this cash tokens meme coin competition.

761
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,120
Just go over to Jeremy's X handle.

762
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,480
So that's at the BCH podcast where you can check out the rules.

763
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,400
I've also posted it in the links.

764
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,760
You've got linked to the rules and guidance on how to submit your meme coin for a chance

765
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,880
to win one BCH.

766
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,740
And now we come to the most exciting topic of all.

767
00:48:05,740 --> 00:48:11,880
So I had a great time this year, the start of the year at BCH bliss 2024, where I got

768
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,600
to meet all the wonderful, many wonderful people here.

769
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:22,440
Dago was there, Jeremy, of course, some other people that I won't mention.

770
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,120
But there was just so many, so many people there from the community and it was a great

771
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,120
experience.

772
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,240
And I thought maybe, you know, was this just a once off of experiencing such a moment,

773
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:38,480
a monumentous occasion, but no, the news came out just after the last Phoenix and Friends

774
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,480
that BCH bliss 2025 has been greenlit.

775
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,520
So Jeremy, I'd love to hear all about that.

776
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:44,520
Yes.

777
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,240
Well, I buried the lead a little bit.

778
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:50,760
I was trying to I said like, oh, well, I'm going to be making an announcement of an announcement

779
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:51,760
kind of thing.

780
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,760
And you were like, what are you talking about?

781
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,520
What does that even mean?

782
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,400
But that's what it was.

783
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,080
We're bringing back bliss for a second year.

784
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:07,200
So when we first ran it last year, obviously, it was a bit of an experiment.

785
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:16,440
You know, I mean, I have kind of a big vision for the whole bliss brand and idea because

786
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:22,680
I had seen you can just look in the larger cryptocurrencies on the coin market cap ranks

787
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,520
and just see, look, BCH is better than these coins on a lot of aspects.

788
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:34,800
You know, it might be more scalable, it has better technology, has a more dedicated community.

789
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,920
It has a smoother governance process.

790
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,120
It has more innovative projects, more passionate people.

791
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,800
And then you sort of look, OK, well, there's going to be a reason that we are number one.

792
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,800
Right.

793
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:47,800
So what are those reasons?

794
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,440
Where are we lacking and what do we need to fix?

795
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,200
And there's a few things in that in that bucket.

796
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,240
You know, it's a smaller community.

797
00:49:55,240 --> 00:50:00,320
There was a lot of problems with the history, various people lost money like the coin flex,

798
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,040
bridge scam and so forth.

799
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,040
Right.

800
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:08,400
But one of the most noticeable things that we're really lacking to massively increase

801
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:14,600
both our credibility and our visibility, as well as improve the network effect within

802
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:21,200
the community was conferences, essentially was being like physical events, you know,

803
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,600
in 2020, 2021.

804
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,080
There was a coronavirus and stuff and there just weren't any conferences.

805
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,800
2022, we had St. Kitts, which was great.

806
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:36,160
And I know I was thinking the other day, you know, that was just past two years ago.

807
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,520
Now that was in November of 22.

808
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,840
And when we were there, I remember saying, I'm sure to you and other people like, wow,

809
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,880
this is going to be looked back on as a real historic moment.

810
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:50,160
Like if you were here for this, you truly were one of the BCH OGs.

811
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:51,160
Right.

812
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,800
And then that was the conference was great and everything, but for a variety of reasons,

813
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,560
it didn't recur the next year in 2023.

814
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,440
So in 2023, we had a bit of a gap.

815
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:08,800
And so coming up to sort of more the end of 2023, I thought, well, for 2024, we really

816
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,300
do want to have a conference.

817
00:51:11,300 --> 00:51:18,120
And Jonathan had this idea to have a sort of a meetup, like a small technical meetup

818
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:23,280
to celebrate the upgrade, because that's one of the big features that BCH has is that we

819
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,120
have a regularly scheduled upgrade that you know when it's going to be.

820
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,120
And it's a bit of a shelling point.

821
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,120
Everyone can get excited.

822
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,200
Everyone can get hyped up going into it and stuff.

823
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,840
And in the past, we've done just live streams where people can join online.

824
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:44,120
But that's sort of, you know, it's really not as exciting as being there in person,

825
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:48,200
you know, with a room full of people that are so excited.

826
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:55,880
So for that reason, there was a lot of ideas that I had as to like, well, we need a conference,

827
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:01,080
you know, in my ideal vision in the future in 15 or 20 years when Bitcoin cashes its

828
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:06,280
global reserve currency used by billions of people, there would obviously be some kind

829
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,160
of mega festival or something.

830
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:15,640
You know, the NFL has the Super Bowl, the NBA have their finals, big, you know, artists

831
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:25,000
have Glastonbury and anything that is significantly large enough as a cultural has some kind of

832
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,200
monumental in person meetup type event, right?

833
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,160
And crypto shouldn't be any different.

834
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,960
So because BCH was lacking in that so much, I thought, well, this is a great chance for

835
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:41,560
us to step into the breach there and try and create something that we've been super lucky

836
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,560
this year because we had bliss and that was great.

837
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,800
And then also the BCH Argentina, which is awesome.

838
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,440
So we've got two conferences this year, and there's already two announced for next year

839
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,400
between bliss and the Townsville guys.

840
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,280
And I don't know if anybody's going to announce any other ones, but at the very least, that

841
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,560
means we're now getting multiple conferences a year.

842
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:08,840
So you can really see that the theme is growing, but we did the first bliss, like I said, is

843
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,840
a bit of an experiment on it.

844
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:15,520
I did, you know, a big vision for it, but you never know until you run it and people

845
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,960
come and actually enjoy it.

846
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,880
And as the organizers, we felt that everything went well.

847
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:25,840
We didn't have any problems, you know, we found some good sponsors and so forth.

848
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,840
There were some amazing people that turned up, right?

849
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,000
There's some real surprises when all of a sudden people started speaking and you're

850
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,240
even though you've never heard this person, the voice, but you've seen the way that they

851
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:39,280
write and all of a sudden, hang on a minute.

852
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,280
I know you.

853
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,280
Yeah.

854
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:46,360
And that was a really amazing experience that you could only have in person.

855
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:51,840
Yeah, that was a huge thing that meant that we clearly had done something right, that

856
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:57,680
we had earned the trust of people in the community to come out to an event like that.

857
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:03,400
And we were, we did make an effort to sort of try and respect people's privacy and so

858
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,320
forth that they didn't want to be in photos from the event and all that.

859
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,480
And so going forward, we want to obviously continue that.

860
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:20,200
And so bliss really is trying to be, well, Jonathan sees it as a builder focused conference.

861
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,200
And I think that's, that's right.

862
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:26,560
First and foremost, he is very heavy on the technical aspect and celebrating the upgrade.

863
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,880
And I love all that.

864
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:34,080
But in my mind, it's got that element, but it is also a bit of a celebration of BCH as

865
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,080
a whole.

866
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,400
And it needs to be an event for the community.

867
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,680
And I think those two strands work together quite nicely.

868
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,880
So yeah, we're bringing it back.

869
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:44,880
Exactly.

870
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:45,880
Yeah, exactly.

871
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:46,880
All right.

872
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,880
So I've got some important questions.

873
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,560
I guess a lot of people here are interested to know when are the tickets going on sale?

874
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,280
So we just put out a video.

875
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,880
It's on the BCH bliss Twitter accounts pinned there announcing it.

876
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:06,480
So we announced on November the 15th, which is the lock in day for the VM limits.

877
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,440
So it kind of was nicely coincided.

878
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,800
But tickets will be on sale January the 15th.

879
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:19,720
So you'll have four months and then the conference starts on the 12th or 13th of May.

880
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:23,480
Really, I guess people I'll be I'll definitely be there on the 12th.

881
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:29,040
But the actual conference starts on the 13th, 14th, 15th, be able to get tickets four months

882
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,040
in advance.

883
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:35,000
Last year, we also announced that we did the tickets in January, but that was also just

884
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,520
announced at that time, right?

885
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:41,040
This year, we're really trying to give a bit more lead time for hype and everything.

886
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,720
But we know that obviously people are going to be busy during Christmas and so forth.

887
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:53,240
So in January 15th, we'll be going live with the ticket sale on TapSwap like we did last

888
00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:54,240
year.

889
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:59,200
We might also see considering maybe having an option just that you can pay in pure BCH

890
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,080
and then get your Belma allocated at the door.

891
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:08,320
We had some people who weren't really up to date with the latest in the BCH ecosystem.

892
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:12,520
It's moving so fast that we're starting to leave people behind a little bit in that even

893
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:17,360
if they were crypto fans, they couldn't really get their head around the Wallet Connect and

894
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,800
TapSwap and all that.

895
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:19,800
Right.

896
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:20,800
But they still wanted to be a part of it.

897
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,000
So we're going to try and find a way to accommodate those people, I think.

898
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,560
But it will be January 15th sale on TapSwap.

899
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,920
Obviously, we'll do a big announcement and post about it.

900
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,960
There'll be the Belmas this year.

901
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,960
So last year, it was the Jessicas.

902
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,320
This year, it's the Belma, NFTs.

903
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,360
You can obviously choose your favorites from the ones that are listed.

904
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:48,840
We'll probably do a variety of prices like we did last year within a certain range.

905
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:53,600
And then obviously, that will be taken into the event like we did last year.

906
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:54,920
It's really a crypto conference.

907
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,240
It's not like the crypto where we're all making money.

908
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:03,440
It's like to be at the event, you actually have to be using the latest tools and actually

909
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:08,000
engaging with crypto as it's going to become popular and common in the future.

910
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,400
We're really pioneering that in practice.

911
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:12,400
I love that.

912
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,240
And I think this is great to take into consideration, as you say, the people that are being left

913
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,240
behind.

914
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,680
There might also be people very new to BCH that just want to come because they want to

915
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,760
experience what the ecosystem has to offer.

916
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,200
And I don't think, for me, a conference should be inclusive.

917
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,160
If people want to come, they should be able to come.

918
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,760
Of course, they have to pay in BCH.

919
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,080
In some way, I think that's the right mentality.

920
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:40,600
But to make that as easy and effortless for people, I think it's a good and a smart way

921
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:41,600
to go.

922
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,400
And just for everyone out there, I am financially involved in that because I've got a whopping

923
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:50,280
massive 100 euro bet to fill out all the seats.

924
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,360
So I want to make that frictionless as possible because I want to fill up those seats and

925
00:57:53,360 --> 00:58:01,040
make sure that we make it just as before, really just as exactly the same atmosphere,

926
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,840
just with a stick of dynamite up its ass, just bigger, better.

927
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,360
So you said you mentioned about the prices.

928
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,280
Are the prices going to be similar to last time?

929
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,120
Have you got any indication of how that's going to look like?

930
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:15,120
Well, yeah, I don't want to make any promises at this stage.

931
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,000
Certainly, because obviously crypto is volatile.

932
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,360
So who knows by January the 15th, certainly with how the market is now, who knows how

933
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,920
much a BCH is going to be worth.

934
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:32,840
But what I probably can say is that last year, we tried to find a nice sort of middle ground

935
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:39,560
that was cheaper than most of what the sort of crypto industry in quotation marks would

936
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:45,840
go to charge for an event because obviously we appreciate that we want to make it financially

937
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,680
accessible to as many people as possible.

938
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,960
And people also do obviously have to spend money in traveling to the event, getting their

939
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:57,600
hotel and staying in the area and being on a bit of a vacation.

940
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:02,360
So we do want to try and keep things accessible.

941
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:09,540
Last year, the tickets were roughly, it was about $250 at the US dollars at the time that

942
00:59:09,540 --> 00:59:12,080
we set the prices.

943
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:17,560
But then they were fixed in BCH and the BCH price did fluctuate significantly between

944
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:24,320
the time that we set them and then the time that the actual event was.

945
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,440
I'm getting some feedback finished.

946
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:32,840
And then so once we had that set, we just stuck with it, really.

947
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,920
And I think that will probably be the same strategy for us this year.

948
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,760
I think as we're getting close to the ticket sale, we'll pick the price that we believe

949
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:45,920
is suitable and lift up the Bellmers and then obviously they'll trade and they can also

950
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:51,200
trade on the secondary market if there's tons of additional demand.

951
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:57,280
But I think the strategy of setting the price in BCH is a good one because the price doesn't

952
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,640
change for BCH holders.

953
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:05,760
If the price goes to the moon in the couple of months, well, then that might make it hard

954
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,360
for people who want to scramble for the last minute.

955
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:12,640
But if you are already a BCH holder, then at least some of your wealth is denominated

956
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:17,320
in BCH and there's no actual change to the price.

957
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:22,560
So it's another way that we're pioneering and thinking about operating on cryptocurrency

958
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,760
as a full economy.

959
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:32,440
But we are going to try and make things accessible as we can and we'll also be responsive to

960
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,440
ticket demand.

961
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:38,000
So perhaps if there's overwhelming demand, we might release another trend at a lower

962
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:45,440
price or if we get a lot of extra sponsors that might also factor into our decision making.

963
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,480
But I can't make any promises there.

964
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,920
Yeah, that's understandable.

965
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,080
It's exciting.

966
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:58,280
And do we have some people that are well known that will be attending that aren't part of

967
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,280
the Bitcoin Cash community?

968
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,280
Well, we'll see.

969
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:09,280
You can never really tell until the day and obviously, particularly with the development

970
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,200
ticket sales, we don't even know.

971
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:16,520
We don't have the information of people's names and addresses.

972
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,920
And that defeats the whole point of crypto.

973
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,520
Anybody can just go on and buy a Belmer and whoever rocks up at the door, people could

974
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,960
even be trading them after the fact.

975
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:32,800
So whoever rocks up at the door with the Belmer is the one that gets it, really.

976
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:41,160
But that said, you do sort of get a bit of a sense as people are talking before the conference.

977
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:48,920
We certainly have seen some interest this year from Peter Risen, who is a very OG Bitcoiner

978
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,160
and a big blocker from before the fork.

979
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:55,520
He did a ton of work into scaling research and stuff.

980
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,960
Everybody who isn't familiar with his things can look up what he was involved with.

981
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:04,680
And he sort of drifted away from BCH for, I guess, a variety of his own reasons.

982
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:09,800
But having, I guess, seen some of the blitz last year and looking into it this year, he's

983
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,640
also kind of said a little bit like, I might be interested in attending.

984
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:18,880
So we're going to see what we can do to get him along because that would be a huge boost

985
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:25,440
for the community to be seeing him in action once again and really engaging with the project.

986
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:31,880
And then we've also seen a little bit of interest from Eric Wall, my, I don't know what the

987
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:41,520
word is, online frenemy who famously started the Taproot Wizards in 2023 after capitulating

988
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:46,160
on several years of believing the Lightning Network was going to fix everything.

989
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:53,640
So he's had a bit of a journey in appreciating Bitcoin through different lenses and said

990
01:02:53,640 --> 01:03:00,600
that he was going to attend last year to come and really learn from the BCH's latest innovations

991
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,080
and so forth.

992
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:06,440
And then at the last minute, he wasn't able to attend and he was honestly quite gracious

993
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,200
where he let me know privately and all that.

994
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,360
So I appreciate him for that.

995
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:17,520
But when this year was announced, Jonathan poked him on Twitter and said, Eric, are you

996
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:21,280
considering coming along this year and maybe fulfilling your promise?

997
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:25,640
And he immediately replied and said, I'll be there.

998
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:30,320
So we'll see whether or not he is in attendance.

999
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:31,320
But that would be really cool.

1000
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,160
I would love to meet him in person.

1001
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:38,120
He's done a lot for Bitcoin in his own way.

1002
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:44,920
And I also respect how much he has been able to mature in his understanding of the technology

1003
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,120
and the history and the community.

1004
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:51,840
And certainly that would also bring a lot of attention, obviously, to the event if we

1005
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:58,640
were attracting people who were previously quite outspoken critics or skeptics of BCH.

1006
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,280
So there's a lot of potential there.

1007
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,720
I mean, this is only we only just announced this one week ago.

1008
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:04,720
You never know.

1009
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,840
We still have another six months before the event.

1010
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:13,040
So who knows what could happen or what kind of attendees we'll end up with.

1011
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,600
Well, thanks so much for the information.

1012
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:16,600
That's exciting.

1013
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,040
Yeah, someone like Eric Wall.

1014
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:23,320
So however anyone thinks about him, having someone that's that prominent on the cryptocurrency

1015
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:29,280
scene to have someone like that come to a Bitcoin Cash Conference will bring in a whole

1016
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:34,320
new set of eyes and will likely sell them more tickets for people that are sort of interested.

1017
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:35,760
OK, what's going on here?

1018
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,640
Because if it's interesting, someone that's so deep in the ecosystem but playing for another

1019
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,480
team, then there must be something here worth investigating.

1020
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,320
So thanks, Jeremy, for that, and I can't stress enough for everyone that is interested in

1021
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,240
Bitcoin Cash and wants to meet their heroes.

1022
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,320
BCHBliss is the place to be.

1023
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:53,960
So I will definitely be joining.

1024
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:55,440
I know Cheapie's going too.

1025
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:56,440
So he's already promised that.

1026
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,440
That's fantastic.

1027
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:58,440
Well done.

1028
01:04:58,440 --> 01:04:59,440
We've got to sell those tickets.

1029
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:00,440
We've got 150 seats to fill.

1030
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:01,440
We're going to get everyone done.

1031
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:02,440
I'm joking.

1032
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,440
Cheapie said he probably won't be able to come because it's so crowded.

1033
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:04,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1034
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:05,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1035
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:06,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1036
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:07,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1037
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:08,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1038
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:09,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1039
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:10,440
So we've got to get everyone done.

1040
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:14,760
I'm joking, Cheapie said he probably won't be able to come because he's already sort

1041
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,880
of gave his word to another conference, a Bitcoin Cash conference.

1042
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:19,880
But let's see.

1043
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:24,600
Maybe if the Bitcoin Cash price rises, as we all suspect, over the upcoming months,

1044
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,880
then Cheapie will be able to join too.

1045
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:28,880
So I've noticed the time.

1046
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,320
We are over the hour.

1047
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,480
So it's time to come to the end of Phoenix and Friends.

1048
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,120
Thanks again to our special guests, Jeremy and Saoshi Nakamario.

1049
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:42,880
Please don't forget to follow them at the BCH podcast and Saoshi helped me respectively.

1050
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,760
You enjoyed the show and want to show your appreciation.

1051
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,680
Please feel free to drop some BCH or a Phoenix token into our wallet.

1052
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,240
The cash token address is in the description of our ex-profile.

1053
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:59,680
I'll pick up an exclusive Phoenix and Friends episode 2 NFT available for 0.05 BCH.

1054
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:04,720
There are only five unique NFTs per episode of Phoenix and Friends, also available at

1055
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:05,720
tapswap.cash.

1056
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:11,320
A Phoenix token will be given out to each one of our special guests today.

1057
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,000
And so all the Phoenix and Friends fans out there, all we're looking for is one Phoenix

1058
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:20,040
token is to send to that address linked in the ex-profile to cover the next episode,

1059
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:24,840
Phoenix and Friends number three, next week at 1 p.m. Central European Time.

1060
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,280
So just one token for 60 minutes of goodness.

1061
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:32,220
On that episode, we've got Cheapie from the Bitcoin Cash Foundation to talk about his

1062
01:06:32,220 --> 01:06:37,860
dedication and his dedicated work in the ecosystem and his current FOMI designed to allow him

1063
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:41,960
to continue at the volume and pace he has been doing over the past year.

1064
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:46,880
We've got Base Poker HQ to talk about their new BCH supporting poker platform.

1065
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,840
We've got something excited in the community lined up around this.

1066
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:57,120
And also Milan, formerly Mira Hurley, which many of you will know from the Nano community

1067
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,560
will be joining to talk about P2P Cash and why it's so important.

1068
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,320
And there's all of that and so much more.

1069
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:07,080
So if any of that interests you, simply go to Cardron Dex, make that purchase of one

1070
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:12,720
single Phoenix token representing just one minute of time and go and send that to that

1071
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:13,720
address.

1072
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,720
This was Phoenix and Friends.

1073
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,960
I wish you all lovely Phoenix, a very good morning, good day and good night.

1074
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:32,480
Take care.
