The Founding team of RTFKT joined the show today bringing good vibes and a slew of Alpha for the brand. The team hadn't been on spaces together in about 9 months making this a truly exclusive Rug Radio event. With their recent drop known as 'forging' going live, we dove into the details of supply and what to expect. The team was eager to share their visions for the future and dropped all sorts of juicy tidbits for anybody interested or involved in the RTFKT ecosystem. A must listen as there was just too much to cover.

Rough weekend after Friday's red candle fest for the market. NFTs not seeing much excitement on the charts but the big screen saw Eminem and Snoop Dogg perform at the MTV Video Music Awards as their Bored ape avatars with some Koda cameos.

We retouched on the topic of royalties for artists and founders alike, the conversation got a bit emotional and will speak to anyone that has an opinion about royalties in the space

The Macros had a lengthy dive today with news of the Jackson Hole meeting. Powel's message was compared to chainsaw ripping into the bullas on stage, using literal words like pain to describe what's to come.

Azuki sawa crazy rip up after news of a 101 asset purchase from Adrien Cheng. Rumors and speculation led to positive rally momentum for the leaders in the anime meta niche.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Barrel X NFTs who are taking a new stance on aged liquor trading by democratizing it and using web3 tech to open opportunity for all financial levels. Owners will have the choice to burn their 4yr Asset and redeem ~22 bottles of legit Kentucky Bourbon! LFG!

Today we had the highly anticipated guest Beeple on stage, many attribute his legendary sale as the catlyst that started the entire movement we are all involved in today. His outspoken, often political style are staples in the digital art community. On stage he was actually very grounded and down to earth. He offered realistic views on the space with reasoning to each of his points. A legend by story and character! long live the Beeple!

With OSF and Mando returned from their Ibiza adventures, we had a proper report on the macros. No earth shattering news on the market side and flat NFT markets again got the stage into a conversation about the PFP landscape. Buying into a project does not feel the same with eth at lower prices and volumes down.

Dot Earth and company joined the show to discuss their unique project that has three major highlights: 1. Combining Ens domain/functions & avatar into the nomad characters 2. A first of its kind visual block explorer 3. A chance at owning actual equity legally. They are making huge waves and their success could pivot the future path of the space as a whole.

As Mando and OSF recover from a raging stag in Ibiza, we had a market summary fill in from the wizard of soho. He poured up some hopium and gave attention to what the Fed may do in these next coming months. Deeze Fi also joined us and dropped his perspective on today's NFT market, but more interesting was his tweet that spurred on a huge conversation over the weekend and provided our title. A comparison made by Cobie, a huge presence on Crypto Twitter, caused outrage and emotions. The stage tore into the vast difference of NFTs and they lesser than alt coins, however similar the technicalities that link them are.
