[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs, our theme trickle-down economics, essentially. How does historic value actually get impacted? And how does that significance plan to Andrew? It was going, what do you see in the news?

[00:00:15] Yeah, I think this is a good topic. We have seen a lot of, a lot of movement in different projects ever since that ape token was dropped.

[00:00:22] And it's been interesting to see where it has fallen. So we'll get into that a bit more during the show here. But let's see to start off. We've got another shot or another headline with open. See all we've always got something going on with open seat. And this one is in case you haven't noticed yet they have rolled out credit card payments directly on open sea.

[00:00:44] So you no longer have to have already purchased your crypto somewhere else. You can actually purchase crypto, right. Or purchase the NFT via. A credit card similar to have nifty gateway and some other platforms do it to open. See has this. Now it's been out for a little bit. You may have already noticed this if you've been on the platform.

[00:01:04] I don't know. I haven't taken a look yet at how if that's actually if you can see this on chain, I assume that there, that this must be visible on chain, but it's done in different ways. So it would be interesting to look at how much it's being adopted by users.

[00:01:18] Yeah, I'm curious. I mean the moon pay application doesn't actually serve as a wallet.

[00:01:24] You still need your own wallet connected. So there's no custodial element, but what this also does, it's not just a small payment feature, but think about what a credit card is. It's buying on credit. It's not the same as saying, Hey, I have to actually have these assets in the form of ether west in my.

[00:01:44] Wallet it's. I am going to borrow money from a financial institution to make a transaction here that I have to pay back in 30 days or pay a, an APY on. It's interesting.

[00:01:59] Very interesting. Yes. We've seen a lot of discussion around this, on other platforms other. Robin hood comes to mind. So it'll be interesting to see what happens here.

[00:02:10] Yeah. I mean, it makes me a little terrified. I may just never do it because I gotta be honest. I'm one of the ways I stopped my fricking FOMO and clicky clicky of just running around and buying stuff nonstop is actually a throttling. The amount of these that is in my wallet at any given point and, and just, just taking it away from the hot wallet and moving it to staking or moving into other places so that I think.

[00:02:33] I feel like, oh my gosh, here's an opportunity. But only for now, now, now, and having my credit card attached really removes friction in a way that I don't think helps the the inner demons.

[00:02:43] Yeah. That's, that's a dangerous one. I am likewise going to stick away from a connecting that I do have ways to spend my ego as it is.

[00:02:53] And don't need to add to that.

[00:02:55] All right. We have how the FBI made its first NFT rug pull bust just in time to save other would be victims. So reminder rug pools, meaning the founders create a thing. And then they just run away with the money after making many, many

[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. We're talking about the Coinbase open C and F T effects. We just made that up just now, just for you. Andrew has.

[00:00:10] Going well, back in our normal recording scheduled George, it's good to, good to talk NFTs again. I feel like

[00:00:17] people would probably really missed us and we had a, I gotta say I didn't appreciate the aggressive schedule of the Monday, Wednesday, Friday until like we were both traveling for a week.

[00:00:28] It it makes it very difficult to stay on top of crypto news and also record. So I'm glad we're back. Yeah.

[00:00:35] Yeah. I mean, it's tough to stand up a crypto news. Anytime you take a day or two away and

[00:00:41] things, it's disturbing. I feel like it's, when you take that break, you realize how much, no, sadly or truthfully time you're putting into like looking at all of these things, because when you don't do it, you come back and you're like, oh my God.

[00:00:55] What's what's an internet. What's what's it been to?

[00:00:58] Yeah, it's a lot of times Dan, on top of these things.

[00:01:02] Yeah. But real quick at the high level, from the, the past seven days, it looks like NFTs up about 27% and there are certain projects that are taking off, but again, it's a lot of the power law, a lot of the common names you see moving and the long tail shrinking, but there's a couple of new, new folks moving up.

[00:01:20] Yeah. Yeah. We've definitely seen some big, big volume it seems to, at least as we record this, it seems to maybe topped off a bit. But one thing I've noticed is the number of sales has been climbing. It was the, just the other day was the most sales in a single day that I've ever seen and NFTs.

[00:01:41] So are at least on a theory and based NFTs. Not just, was it a big volume day, but it was. Well, so a lower average price and we've seen in the past, but that's, I think that's a good sign. I think the number of sales is

[00:01:54] that's a fantastic

[00:01:55] sign, probably a sign that more people are getting into it.

[00:01:58] I didn't know, to take a look at the the number of wallets that day yet, but but I think in general, if we're seeing more trading it's, it means people are going to see this as a more, see project is more viable to continue to get into and be able to get out of.

[00:02:12] Okay, what else do we see? We have open C just said they're integrating Solano, NFTs and ape.

[00:02:19] Yeah. All right. So, so wanna MTS, we haven't talked a lot about this, although we have talked a little bit about cross chain raising and we have not talked much about Solana NFTs. It's a big marketplace and they're coming to open sea. And as you've mentioned, that's an exposure to a lot of people with a lot of an FTE capital.

[00:02:41] This is a chance for sort of at least merging markets and for better or worse spoken, see is the. The leader, it's the town square and all copycats. It's also important. Well, sorry, copycats, maybe unfair. Other marketplaces will probably see this and realize they have to follow in suit that there is more than one hub and, and pulling them all together will spread that sort of larger larger, long tail of individual purchases.

Transcript

[00:00:00] today on all about affordable and FTEs Unchained, my NFT Omni chains, verse multi chain. We're excited to be talking about this topic. The first Andrew, what are we seeing in.

[00:00:12] Yeah. It's it's been a little longer than usual since we are recording here. So we've got some, some news to catch up on George.

[00:00:20] Yeah, we both took a little break. We took a break for two seconds and then we're like, well, maybe

[00:00:24] well, you know, it was a, you know, an extra day or two and whew. There's a lot that happens. So yes, some big news here. We've got a big time act.

[00:00:34] One of the biggest crypto history, 625 million. And this is very NFT related because it was on the Ronin network, the network that backs ACCE infinity. So 625 million. Taken this was from users' accounts essentially where they had parked their Eve using it on them, using it on the road in network.

[00:00:56] So they, the Pronin team has come out and said that they will reimburse all users here. So that's good, but it is a, you know, it's worrisome that that this can happen apparently five of the nine I'm sorry, the five, five of the nine. I'm forgetting the name now. The

[00:01:15] We're taken over.

[00:01:16] So they put some, they put some extra provisions in there for extra security. But yeah, that is big time. They're going to take 150 million or so from Binance to help reimburse people. But I assume they have the rest of it available that is still going to hurt. One part that is sort of funny about this is the hackers.

[00:01:38] Shorted the ACCE token R I'm sorry. Yeah, I think it was the ACCE token on before the news of this came out in the news did not actually tank the value as they expected. So they did get stopped out of those positions. So that is kind of funny of flow. They are doing quite well with what they were able to get away with.

[00:01:59] Well, I mean, yes and no. What, what they got away with, as I understand, was moved to FTX, which was, and is a control bank for crypto, Right. That's not a decentralized movement wherever. So I'm not quite sure what the plan is because that stuff could get frozen pretty quick. I think it is pretty remarkable that that amount of sort of, you know, theft doesn't really impact the price.

[00:02:25] Yes. There was a drop in, in Ronan, but it like spikes back up on April 5th and it's, you know, back down, but it doesn't, it wasn't a collapse. Right. It might as well have been an Elon Musk tweet and things kind of kept rolling.

[00:02:38] Yeah. Yeah. I guess it was the Ronin network. You're right on that one. Yeah. And it was surprising. I've spent a year. At least it has been a pretty bullish crypto and NFD market as of late. And I think it's, you know, in that, in this kind of environment people are willin

[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. We're talking about the value of CC zero creative commons zero. And brand-building excited to get into that one, but first one, Andrew what do we see in this.

[00:00:13] Yeah, let's see, let's take a look at what's happening. We've got some, we've got decentral land fashion week. Let's see. I don't know the specific dates of this, but we've got a handful of, you know, traditional clothing brands getting involved with this. I've noticed Tommy Hilfiger Estee Lauder.

[00:00:31] So a lot of names from a, you know, traditional. Fashion that are getting involved in, you know, there's a case to be made that maybe that will not be the way that this this kind of works out. That those end up being the most successful brands of the metaverse. It's an article here from decrypt that.

[00:00:48] Talks about how Nike has already acquired art in fact, by and sees that they need a different brand, a brand that seed that is metaverse first understands what is popular, how to create things that work in this world versus the physical world. So interesting that they have this fashion week I'm curious to see, you know, what comes out of this and how hu.

[00:01:10] But who impresses the most? You know, I'm not typically into a fashion week like that, but I am curious, you know, I think tech is a big part of this and that's going to play a big role here.

[00:01:20] Yeah. I mean, I don't quite understand that title of why big Brands won't we will fashion in the metaverse. I just I disagree with actually I think what's going to happen is if anyone gets, I dunno, say really good at doing shoes. let's say the metaverse that I don't know a company like Nike is just going to buy them.

[00:01:37] Like we have just seen, right. It's just self fulfilling

[00:01:41] Brands Yeah are generally good at being really good at brands, fashion brands, especially it's not that they necessarily have a superior technology in baking clothes at this point. I mean, I guess you could argue that Nike is more Technology driven then maybe some other fashion labels, but you know, I dunno it we'll see how it plays out.

[00:02:02] I see that there could definitely be metaverse native brands that have a leg up on traditional brands, but those are still gonna end up being folded into those same the same big money brand, a big brands.

[00:02:16] Fair. Yeah. Oh gosh this is half one Satoshi island. So it's official that there is now an NFT slash crypto paradise and the Pacific ocean just off the coast of Australia. I believe the name is creatively being called Toshi island and they finally got approval to do this. How do you feel about.

[00:02:39] No, I, I don't know a whole lot about it. It sounds ridiculous. I wasn't. I had to actually see the headline a couple of times to realize that, oh, this is a real island that people are planning to really open, I believe in 20, 23, they have plans to have people live there. You know, we'll see if that actually happens.

[00:02:58] That sounds like one of those things that may be pushed back. It definitely. Why is this needed? And

[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs we're talking about are all NFTs in the UGA labs life boat. I like it. It's gonna be interesting topic talking through it. And Andrew, what do we see in the news today in NFT land? .

[00:00:14] Well, we've got some board aid news to start us off. We've got a some stories about NFT restaurants. We've seen a handful of them popping up lately on new.

[00:00:23] One was just announced down in the LA area from a restaurant, or that has four or five chains already. But seeing a couple of these pop up also have seen let's see, it was universal music. They've purchased a few Asians. Four apes three or four apes. Now they're putting a music band together, similar to the gorillas put using the board apes.

[00:00:47] So starting to see these H be used a lot more in brands and I don't know the way that people have talked about it, but actually seeing it come to fruition of that year. Yeah. When you see this, it's

[00:00:58] just really sort of the culture following this and you know, it's a funny picture of like board ape imagery on.

[00:01:04] Fries on a burger thing on a soft drink. It's, you know, also being used for really expensive sushi. It says lavish sushi establishment. So it's kind of weird to see a brand being extended in these like extreme directions and like what what's the net result. I'm not quite sure, but you know, try to be parsing out various flavors of that.

[00:01:26] I think in the.

[00:01:27] Yeah, absolutely. So next we've got that board aid. We get, we talked a little bit about this board. Apes are trying to build a metaverse, you know, somewhat as a antithesis to the Facebook Metta world that may be coming or whatever that may be. This is more of a web three native crypto native, metaverse and that's sort of how people are positioning it right now.

[00:01:50] So interesting to see. How, how the NFT or, you know, world crypto NFT world is reacting to this versus the meta play when that was announced.

[00:02:03] And they're look, they're there. Just checking every single box on the playlist of launch a project, do the secondary airdrop launch, a coin launch a metaverse with a land sale, right.

[00:02:19] Drop in on, you know, restaurants and themes. It's,

[00:02:24] you know, go, go to

[00:02:25] go to the playbook of the common roadmap, except they execute, right. Like ideas are cheap. Execution is real. And, you know as we mentioned, like that airdrop of the eight token in the last episode, you know, it, it happened it's real in, in sitting in like 2.2 freaking billion dollars.

[00:02:42] It seems to be roughly holding somehow value. As of, as of this.

[00:02:47] Yeah, I was, I was definitely not so sure that it would hold value as long as it has. You know, and we'll see what happens, you know, who knows by the time you're listening to this, I'm sure it's moved in one direction or another, but I really don't know at this point, I haven't paid all that much attention to the price movement other than just hearing it once in a while to see, you know, what has happened.

[00:03:07] Let's see, moving onto the next news item here. We've got a time magazine. Pretty active in the NFT world. They have released their first ever NFT issue and they've got metallic, uterine co-founders and ease of going on Facebook, Ethereum on the cover of this. And interestingly, in this article, in this interview, he talks a bit about how you know, he's not necessarily ha

[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs, the team buys the next copy. Hopefully we are actually on this episode live because of when we're recording and when this drop is happening going to be talking through our hopeful ability to buy the X copy dropping on March 24th. on the Nifty gateway, Andrew.

[00:00:24] Good. Just so you know, watch and watching this drop today, it's been good. There's been a few different parts to it. The edition that we're looking at is still coming up here, but it's the final part. And man, it's been exciting to watch some pretty big bids on some of the auction items early on here.

[00:00:40] They were an addition of six and addition of 12, I believe that addition of six was a. I think the minimum was about 70,000. Sorry. I lost track of that one. At the end. Let's see. Have you been watching this as, along the way, George?

[00:00:56] I've been looking at it. And then just to take a step back, explain what's going on nifty gateway.com is one of these NFT platforms that is a much, much more curated experience there. I'll just be honest in the past. And a touch critical that some of the drops they're just lack community behind it and community is what drives marketplace values.

[00:01:18] It has been pretty thin secondary on a lot of general pieces though. They are able, I will say this very able to bring in amazing artists and I'll just say an ex copy is something that I thought was beyond my general purchasing power. So we have our eye on one in particular, the max Payne open edition it's max Payne and friends.

[00:01:40] And it's very much in the style of glitch art X copy. That is really emblematic of one of these art movements. And I'm excited about it, but in. I'm already breaking one of the rules that I claimed I was buying a piece that is one eith I claimed I would only

[00:01:59] you said I believe you said,

[00:02:01] over 180, so I think you may technically be okay here and I even on, and I'm going to go a little further here on nifty your gas lists.

[00:02:10] Oh,

[00:02:11] Until you get it out you've gotta, you gotta pay something to get it out of the the wallet there, but it's this is the first time I've heard a lot of people talking about nifty gateway in awhile.

[00:02:21] They do get a lot of big artists still. I was looking through some of the recent drops, but it seems like people were really excited about this one. And X copy is an artist that little. Oh, it's everybody seems to know beyond even if they're just into maybe PFP and FTS profile, picture type projects, they still know the name X copy.

[00:02:42] They recognize X copy. And a lot of people still don't have it. Don't have a piece from him. So this is one of the this should be one of the biggest mints that he's done. Maybe the biggest there has been some criticism about the one eighth price and. It thinking that it's maybe too high looking at what's out there right now the cheapest four piece is about three and a half E I believe.

[00:03:06] And that's that's an addition of 600 from NFT boxes that was done last year. So you know, I, it is an expensive mint. It is also quite a bit lower than what the market is priced at right.

[00:03:20] now. I understand why people think it may be too much there are. He did it.

[00:03:24] It is it's an artist that has proven he'll come back to pieces and will deliver value. And doesn't forget as collectors.

[00:03:30] And so to clear it up a bit more, an open edition means that as many times as hu

Transcript:

[00:00:00] today on all about affordable and FTS. The question session is actually good for and FTS. Andrew, what do we say in the news?

[00:00:08] Yeah, what are we seeing out here? We've got new companies, new, what I'd say traditional finance type of companies coming into the metaverse. We've seen lots of companies keep buying properties and filing different trademark.

[00:00:21] Applications for metaverse usage and we've got this terrific last couple of days, you've got American express and HSBC, both announcing plans for the metaverse. I think it's just with trademark applications at this point for Amex. Although I believe that HSBC is actually going the 3d world route and acquiring some land rate in the sandbox.

[00:00:44] So actually haven't noticed many financial. Institutions going towards the sandbox. It seems like decentral land has been the platform of choice for whatever reason for financial companies. But certainly I've seen a lot of activity with the sandbox. So interesting that HP SBC has chosen to go there.

[00:01:00] Yeah, it's interesting. I was like, which one you're going to go with? I would say to central and far more established and more detailed graphics and user interface there. As far as that goes, in terms of being able to run around an actual metaverse, but people are moving to.

[00:01:13] Yeah, and it seems like they are taking it the very literal metaverse way of being greedy world.

[00:01:19] We'll see if that ends up being the way that a lot of people play with the metaverse or interact with these companies in the metaverse. But that is the way there they seem to be going at this point. In other news, we've got English, premier league. We've talked about them a little bit and how the bidding was getting crazy.

[00:01:34] But the thing eventually went to consensus a big OT company in the NF or in the crypto space. They are the creators of Metta mask in FIRA an IPA or a API that runs a lot of NFT. Services behind the scenes and a number of other things, but it's a big company. So they are partnering with the premier league and it's a big money.

[00:01:57] And he goes a three-year deal for ended up being, let's see almost $600 million. So we get a lot of money here and I would expect big things from this partnership.

[00:02:07] Yeah. I think big sports, new audience, global market. I really like global market coming into it because. The more, you can also diverse away diversify away from just American buyer's needs.

[00:02:19] There's less oh, here's this week happened to be good news from the executive order. Who knows what next week is. So the more you've got a global stability in the market, the better and healthier, I think you end up with as an NFT marketplace.

[00:02:32] Yeah. And I see you've got one other item that you've just added to our list.

[00:02:35] Your George, what do you guys are tasty?

[00:02:38] One. There are whispers of a meta mask airdrop area. Again, being the stuff that gets handed to you because you are using a platform, holding an NFT or doing something that indicates that your wallet is in fact involved. And, mask is the probably number one safest smartest way to be interacting with your NFP is logging in and going between different websites like open seat and others.

[00:03:03] They have confirmed that they are going to launch their own token. The rumor and now we'll do our best to keep track of it is that anyone has made a swap on the platform, may get an airdrop when they introduce t

So you had to hold all three years for NFTs that you bought this month. It's just a fun thought experiment to see what we come up with.

[00:00:20] But first, Andrew, what are you seeing? 

[00:00:22] Yeah. What do we see now here? Let's see. So we've got March madness just started as we're recording this and we've got all sorts of NFT drops around this. I've been surprised by the number of NFT drops here. And if NFTU was the first one that I heard about, and then there was a let's see, another one from draft Kings.

[00:00:43] But they've been quite popular. They both sold out the draft Kings one. It was a draft Kings. I believe it was their first direct and NFT collection that they, they had. Created before they had just hosted them on their own marketplace. That was 12,000 pieces. The an NFTU from recur was let's see almost nearly 18,000 and FTS there they've been popular and selling on secondary as well.

[00:01:08] So I'm surprised that it has been as popular to is took me by surprise here. Anyway. I expected a lot during the Superbowl. Didn't really think about how much it may come into play with the NCAA tournament here. And I think. It's interesting for a couple of reasons that this will have exposure for a whole month here, essentially as the tournament spans multiple weeks.

[00:01:30] And the other part is that we have the, we do have, the players could potentially start using NFTs as a way to. To cash in on their likeness, which has not been possible for the most part in NCAA history. It's interesting that those are coming at the same time. So watching that kind of closely over the next month to see how much, how much their exposure NFTs get during the during media publication of the events and how much the uh, uh, the market responds to to these NFTs.

[00:02:01] How much do you think is dapper labs? Again, the folks behind NBA top shot and also now the the new NFL all day behind any. 

[00:02:09] No, I haven't heard their name as being directly tied to any of this, I don't know if there's. Who knows the reasons that maybe you would think they would be there, but I don't know if there's maybe an MBA issue with NCAA or I, that's a, that's outside of my knowledge, but I haven't seen their name come up in any of this NCAA NFT talk.

[00:02:28] Yeah, it says N F T U largest unified collegiate sports, digital collectible NFD marketplace. Okay. Not going to be on my buyers list, but I think it may help people jump onto it. And if you're able to bring in some of the sports audience, you've seen a lot of success from dapper. Good luck.

[00:02:44] Yeah, absolutely. It's not on my list either, but I am I am interested in the news of this or of these collections.

[00:02:50] Okay. We have the Pixar drop, so I love Pixar and we've heard Disney getting into the NFT world. So what is this Pixar NFT drop sells out on the. 

[00:03:03] I never actually said that out loud. I think it's V the BV platform. So yeah, drop, they had a number of different, our picks picks our characters from their various movies available as NFTs,

Transcript:

[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. We're talking about whether or not the creator's reputation dictates the value of the NFT. I'm excited to get into that theme, but first, Andrew, what are we seeing in the news?

[00:00:13] Hey, George. And NFTs again yet we are seeing what we see volume trending downward over all, but it is starting to pick up a bit. I noticed on a weekly basis. So seeing it pick up a bit, and I think that's been a lot to do with board apes, recently, board apes Mutant apes, the board.

[00:00:32] Is it the board kennel? Sorry, board Abe kennel club. The three projects. Taking a lot of volume recently, there was anticipation of a big drop or drop of a new token, the ape token from the board a creator's you, the labs that has now dropped, and we've definitely seen a ton of volume there. So I think that's been part of, what's been picking up the volume, but I think that's also a spurred some activity away from those projects, as well as, some people are selling and help a lot more ease than they had, especially if they've been long-term holders.

[00:01:04] That's interesting because you're looking at an overall market past seven days, ish, up 20, 25%. But the interesting thing it's I'm not holding back. Abe anything. And so I see all this activity, I'm like, nice, but so what, it's not helping the long tail, the market, which still feels a little chilly to me.

[00:01:20] But what you're saying is when some of that profit taking occurs, it actually can lead to smoothing out in the market and money chasing up. What's the next aid. What's the next piece that people may be jumping in. 

[00:01:31] Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've seen some bigger sales know. Some notable collections some bigger sales and squiggles. Some punks have certainly rallied on news that we haven't gotten to this yet, but the news that UGA labs has actually purchased the IP to them. That's improve the price.

[00:01:48] There need bits as well from larva labs and I've seen some big artists like X copy getting some big sales. So I think there is some some sort of distribution going on. As board apes have certainly had the top price. You're not being said after the token dropped the price, the floor price would drop quite a bit.

[00:02:06] I think it had reached over a hundred. Before the airdrop and then dropped to, I don't know, maybe in the eighties after that. I also wouldn't say that's really much of a loss if you did get the airdrop I don't know what it was worth, but I I think it was a pretty hefty sum for anyone that was holding an actual board, a.

[00:02:23] Yeah. And you're talking about that news of larva labs, literally getting bought by you, the labs our Villa. The famous creators of punks and also me bits. And you go the upstart from last year, the creators of board apes and all of the derivatives inside of that, literally just bought it up.

[00:02:41] Yeah. 

[00:02:42] I would've never predicted 

[00:02:43] Than the price flipping. This is really a passing of the 

[00:02:47] it's not a flipping. It's a binding. 

[00:02:49] Yeah. And I don't know that it's really passing the torch. I think, as we'll discuss verbal labs had not necessarily handled a lot of different issues the best and you iLabs has certainly Written this wave quite well to a, they've got a great reputation.

[00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs

[00:00:03] gas is low. What should I do? And of course we're not talking about gas on the the international stage or at the pump, which is experiencing rocket highs, but Ethereum layer gas.

[00:00:16] Is it now possible that you could get a transaction through for less than a gallon? I think it may

[00:00:22] tell you I'm paying five I five bucks per gallon over here. I'd love the over-under. We should start tracking gas to gas, lowest transaction for

[00:00:30] Yeah,

[00:00:31] of gallon,

[00:00:32] could get really could get really interesting there, it's not what I thought when I first got into this and, saw the guests here as being so much more, but we're seeing it go the other way.

[00:00:40] Yeah what are we seeing in the markets?

[00:00:42] Yeah. Mark gets a little slow. Still. It's quiet out there. That's why we're talking a little bit about gas low. What should we doing? But as mentioned, we're still seeing a lot of development, a lot of investment. So notice that Warner brothers is launching a new project. They've got a DC comics themed NFT training card coming out.

[00:01:02] So these will be. A physical and digital traded card. I think that's interesting that trying to do both we've seen it sounds a little bit like a top shot take on comic cards here, though. The physical aspect, add something new there. And somewhat similarly we've got time. If they are time is still related to Warner brothers or not the time they've been big in an F keys, they are launching a children's series based on the Little's NFT project.

[00:01:31] I heard a couple other projects talking about doing television shows. Many of the projects are definitely not children themed. I would say that a good number of projects seem. Really be stuck on using cigarettes for some reason. And the littles has stayed away from that and is actually children friendly.

[00:01:49] It'll certainly get some get some publicity when it's got time behind it.

[00:01:53] Yeah. It sounds interesting, especially from the media side, when it get.

[00:01:56] And Last year I've got that Stripe is getting into a crypto Stripe, the payments giant they've been huge in e-commerce and web too, especially it seems like nearly every company has some sort of integration with Stripe at this point. And they are getting into crypto. So I imagined that their network will also be able to benefit from This and accept crypto payments within some relatively soon timeframe.

[00:02:26] I don't know what that is but I think that is big. They're partnering with FDX to begin with. FTX has been very active in partnerships in sports market and marketing through sports and trying to onboard people. And this is just another way that they will try to do it by adding a new on-ramp to get crypto via Fiat currency with Stripe.

[00:02:48] This is exactly what we were talking about in the other episode about the on-ramp the on-ramp too. I have a credit card. Can I just get into this freaking NFTE game without getting, sent all around to find the way to move my mon
