# NFT SEASON IS AROUND THE CORNER

> Source: [NFT SEASON IS AROUND THE CORNER](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Rfp3wRE82E0)

## Summary

In this Wednesday stream, the host reviews the latest NFT market moves, from the flawed mechanics of the new Triple T token launchpad to surging V1 Punks, Normies, and Bored Apes. He also analyzes token listings (VVV on Robinhood) and Hyperliquid's HYPE rally, and shares community tools for traders.

### Key Points

- **Triple T token mechanics** [03:03] — Triple T launched 10,000 NFTs; anyone can burn an NFT to launch their own token, earning 50% of trading fees, while NFT holders get 30%. An initial ~98% extra fee drops 1% per block until it reaches 1%, creating a buyback flywheel.
- **Pump.fun comparison** [04:50] — A friend found a token that did $2M volume on pump.fun, netting the creator $18K, whereas the same volume on Triple T would earn only ~$10K after burning a $250 NFT — nearly half the income.
- **Break-even math** [06:39] — With the current floor, a Triple T token needs $46K in lifetime volume just to recover the NFT cost. Most of the 140+ launched coins have zero 24-hour volume, making profitability unlikely.
- **99% fee is a blocker** [07:33] — Starting at a 99% fee, buying at 90% requires the coin to reach a ~$1M market cap just to break even — the opposite of the fast, easy money meme coin traders seek.
- **Host exits Triple T for a profit** [10:09] — The host sold all his Triple T NFTs, making a couple thousand dollars. He credits trader James 007 for helping him time the exit and avoids burning any NFTs.
- **V1 Punks surge** [13:39] — V1 Punks were trading at 1.8 ETH a few days ago and have since more than doubled. A zombie punk sold for 35 ETH and an ape punk for 56 ETH.
- **V1 vs V2 Punk rotation risk** [15:42] — V1 Punks are the historically first CryptoPunks but V2 caught on. A full rotation could give V1 holders a 9x while crushing V2 (currently ~$8,700), which the host would hate to see.
- **CryptoPunk top hat sale** [20:57] — A top hat CryptoPunk with an aesthetically pleasing trait combo sold for 130 ETH (~$276,000), well above typical top hat sales near the floor.
- **Florentines break 0.1** [21:53] — Florentines recovered from a 0.03 low to break above 0.1 after the artist Cardi confirmed an official token page. The host is skeptical of NFT tokens but likes the idea of spending tokens on traits.
- **Normies hit 0.4 for the second time** [24:20] — Normies crushed back to 0.4 ETH, cementing itself as a potential blue chip — only the second new large-supply PFP project after Good Vibes Club to sustain a strong floor. The host regrets paper-handing at 0.12 and 0.06.
- **Bored Apes react to Figgy CEO news** [26:22] — Since Figgy became Yuga CEO a month ago, Bored Apes rose from 5 ETH to 11 ETH and now hover around 10 ETH. The host wants Apes to hit 100k floor to restore vibes.
- **Ebisu mint gets botted** [34:14] — Ebisu, a comic-style art project with no whitelist, minted out instantly due to botters. The artist still made ~$75K. The host argues whitelists for legitimate holders prevent bot takeovers.
- **VVV Robinhood listing fizzles** [41:24] — VVV only produced a 20% candle on its Robinhood listing, while Pepe's listing caused a 100% two-day surge. The host questions whether Robinhood listings have lost their pump power.
- **Hype keeps outperforming** [43:34] — Hyperliquid's HYPE token is the host's best performer at $51, approaching its ATH near 60. Coinbase/Circle increased exposure and staked; Arkham data suggests Goldman Sachs opened a position.
- **Hyperliquid as a super app** [45:44] — Per a post, Hyperliquid isn't targeting the $3T crypto economy but the $600T global asset market. The host wonders about inevitable KYC/regulatory evolution.
- **Waypoint community tools** [56:03] — Waypoint offers a wallet tracker, mint scanner, volume tracker, alpha pings, sports market alerts, insider-trade detection, YouTube summaries, and liquidation alerts — some features paid, some free.

### Conclusion

The stream offers a ground-level view of current NFT and meme coin sentiment, with the host cautiously optimistic about an upcoming run but skeptical of launchpad mechanics and Robinhood listing effects.

## Transcript

didn't auto switch. Welcome to a surprise Wednesday stream. Uh today we got some NFT stuff to talk about. We also got hyper liquid that's the turnout is because I typically do Monday to Monday and Friday. The goal
would be to get it to 5 days a week if there's enough content. There needs to be enough stuff for me to speak about. Um let me just click the publish button here. Boom. Make sure all the streams are fired off. Great. Yes, they are.
Um Yes. So, let's just jump right into it. familiar faces. Uh ayo, what's good, bro? NFTs, yes, sir. Love the song. Thank you. Thank you. I've had that since 2021.
Thank you for asking. Uh let's make sure this is still I don't know why my screen is going dark. And then I'm going to switch screens. Let's hope it's still working. Yes, it's
we are way too far. We are going to start with Triple T. Welcome, captain, to the stream, sir. Um
about Triple T 10,000 tokens, which launched last week. The NFTs did really 0.15. Oof, now they're getting obliterated. Uh but let's talk about the token. So, essentially the way it works, there was 10,000 NFTs. Anybody can burn
an NFT to launch their very own coin, and then they would get 50% of the trading fees. The holders of the NFTs would get 30% of the trading fees. And
whole flywheel where there's uh buybacks from the initial 98% extra fee, which goes down 1% every block until it reaches 1%. Um
And then you know, everybody's making money, ideally. Now, the problem is most of the coin In my opinion, the the fee really hurts it, but you could see there's one The top token is currently at 400k market cap. After that, I don't
know why they're both called one though one in the first. After that 338 and then it kind of just you know, dies out. They start at 50k market cap. So, most lower, yeah, most of them are up 12k. I guess
somebody bought. But if we look at the volume on a lot of these, the volume is just absolutely dead. Let's let's fill Oh, you can filter it by volume now. Great. Volume, 24-hour volume.
Volume, 24-hour volume. Um I feel like it didn't switch. volume. Okay. Um volume, but it's still showing the market cap. That's just weird. I want to
see the volume on them because, you know, a big a big issue for me is why would you launch here instead of launching on like pump fun where one of my friends actually checked and a token did 2 million volume on pump fun and the
creator made $18,000 versus if you did it on this app, one you have to burn a $250 which is now lower, but then two, you only make 10 grand for 2 million in volume. I say only, it's a lot of money,
but, you know, 18 versus 10 grand, it's almost double. So, there's already that big incentive. If we look here, they kind of tweeted Let me zoom in for you guys. Is that one good?
Let's do one more. Okay. Deploying on TTT show skin in the game. no. Filtering low quality tokens. Absolutely not. It does not at all. This is a meme coin
launchpad like any other launchpad out there like pump fun. There's going to be a load of trash and only one or two coins are actually worth anything. coins are actually worth anything. Rally's 2,500 supporters instantly. I
completely disagree with this as well. It It not. Everybody's here to make are here to trade. These are meme coins. The founder is launching them because he is making 50% of trading fees. That's what the founder cares about. We're all
fully aware, right? Uh, and people are trying to make money. Fair launches with tested mechanism. True. Uh, well, it wasn't tested yet. Now it is tested and everything works, thankfully. But, there's a million
launch pads out there and the main one is Pump Fun. And then, uh, only 9,910 Metaverse land, okay. Um, does that matter? I don't think so. Return to mainnet, that I love. Um, I love you. Thank you very much. Uh,
so, yeah, I don't really see how most of this stuff is bullish, to be honest. You know, they kind of just created their own launch pad. bullish. You know, I posted my opinions before things went live, some thoughts
on 10,000 tokens, saying, "With the current floor, you need $46,000 in lifetime volume, uh, in order to just make your money back, which most people are not going to hit." Most coins, you know, I went to look at the NFT strategy
coins. Punk Strategy had over 100K that day. Uh, three of them had over 5,000 volume, like, you know, from 15,000 to 5,000. 10 had to between 100 and 1,000. And then, over 100 coins, cuz there's like 140 something that have launched,
have a literal zero volume on 24 hours. That's what most people's coins are going to be at. And then, the other thing that bothers me is the 99% fee. Out the gate, most coins aren't going to get traction because of that fee. So,
you're already putting a blocker on the launch of these tokens when a lot of the excitement in meme coins is getting in early, getting it fast. right? Seeing the multiples have of how much people are making. But, if the
market cap starts at 50K and there's this 99% fee, if you buy at 90%, you need the coin to go to like a million dollars just to break even. That is not fun. That is not good for meme coin meme coin traders, okay? That's not what we
coin traders, okay? That's not what we look for. We look for fast easy money. So, I feel the mechanics around this are just completely backwards and I want it by this. I'm just sharing my opinion how I don't like the mechanics. And then I
think there was also some confusion around Jack Butcher which I had as well. In my last stream I said the art was from Jack Butcher. If you actually look through the article, it just says the art They don't say that they don't say
inspired, but it's Um basically you can fork Jack Butcher's like work or something through like the GitHub and then use the code to generate your own art which essentially is what they did. So, it's inspired by Jack
Butcher. Jack Butcher obviously engaged with it was it which is great, but it thought, "Oh, it's Jack Butcher's art." Which, you know, unfortunately isn't the I said, checks are which are deflationary as well, checks are at
point two. Like just go buy checks instead. I don't know. Um so, yeah, the NFTs are are down. I'm really happy I played this one well. I had sold only played this one well. I had sold only three above point one two ish area and
then they went down the first time here to uh point 08 and then I was talking to James 007, a great trader, definitely throw him a follow. him some love and and pull up his profile here.
Yeah, James, really good trader. Uh definitely give him a follow. Um so, I was chatting with him in DMs and he was saying, were at point one two actually, he was telling me like, "Oh, I'm selling here."
mine listed higher." And then they went down to point 08. He I saw him he started buying cuz we track his wallet. Uh and then he said like, "Yeah, I think they they get one last leg up." Which I thought they would get a leg up. I
up, but then I really started to think about it and like the whole flywheel that guy released that tool which showed you how much you can make based off trading volume and I was just like yeah, everybody's wildly overestimating all
their calculations are done based off of 1 to 5 million average volume per token. There's a 0% chance that happens. So the NFTs are down. Thankfully I sold 14 I was kind of debating if I should burn an NFT, but I definitely will not. It's
it's just not worth it. Especially that Oh, I sold all of them. Let's go. good. Um crazy money here. I probably made like a couple thousand bucks. I should have
made way more if I played this better if I swept at the lows instead of playing League of Legends, but you know, it is what it is. I made profit. Um Can this flywheel is broken and they're going to need some crazy runners. Like that's the
comments I'm seeing. They need to manufacture runners, which that's the manufacture runners, which that's the unfortunate truth about the market. Um where you know, a lot of these like pump fun
these new launch pads, you don't realize how involved they are with tokens, okay? They get runners going, they get people on board, and they get this stuff to really take off and that's what brings attention to the launch pads, but it's
no longer enough to sustain. We need more. You need natural runners and in my opinion with the current mechanics, that is just not going to happen. Uh because natural runners and it's this debate like do I buy at 40% tax or not? I'm
probably going to get You're taking an immediate 40% loss the second you buy. That is not cool. Like nobody wants that.
play jungle now. My main is Shaco. I mid I play LeBlanc main and I just got into playing since like 2020. I'm extremely toxic. I've been uh chat banned. I've been full season banned. Like they just took away my access for an entire
had to play 10 games without being reported. I had to win 10 games without being reported. It was funny. Um Yeah, so uh you know, I'm happy I exited. I hope this works out. Look, if
out. Let's go look at some of the holders. Uh who's exiting? holders. Uh who's exiting? Um I wonder if TMA TMA had like 50. Did had 40. Wow, he hasn't sold a single one.
Wow, he really believes in it. Uh I'm shocked he didn't. uh This is the Blokies uh founder, too. Interesting. Um yeah, so that was a fun experiment,
Um yeah, so that was a fun experiment, but yeah, I don't see why it uh it would do better than any other launchpad. Uh let me just catch up on still working. Let me try switching interfaces. No, it's broken.
Uh I'm really going to have to fix this cuz it's getting really annoying. Boom, it's live. Let's go. Here we go and boom. Uh let me read some comments Why do you speak Why do you not speak about Normies NFTs? Uh we can.
I I've spoken about them literally the last like three streams. Shown in on my sister's YouTube. Welcome, welcome. Normies flying call around 0.16. Yeah, I I faded as well, unfortunately. You already know what I'm
about Monster. Uh Peak Masters League League. A lot of stream. Let's play together. Yes, sir. Carry me. Uh Monster, what's up? Let's uh let's keep moving on here.
Boom. Uh after this, let me close some of these tabs just because it's going to make my life easier. Here we go. Next, we have the V1 punks running, dude. Over we have the V1 punks running, dude. Over 2x. These were trading at 1.8 ETH not
even a week ago, just a few days ago. And I know it's easy to say this, okay? But I was actually looking to buy because I was like, "Oh, yo, I could get Unfortunately, I didn't buy because I felt like a LARP. I was like, "Oh, it's
going to know it's a V1 punk and it's not, you know, the the V2 punks like the the grail of of NFTs." Uh, and I didn't buy. I should have just bought it as a trade because, dude, I'd be up you know, if I bought multiples, I'd be up
done really well. We've seen some crazy sales here. If we go to the activity, uh, let's filter by uh, let's just put the price of ETH. Let's just put $15,000. Apply.
Uh, we had Okay, we got the cop There's some you know, there's some aesthetic-looking ones that that did well, but we this uh, zombie punk went for 35 ETH. And then we also had an ape punk sell for uh, 56
ETH. So, you know, this is really good to see. Obviously, there's some hoodies and stuff that went for a good amount uh, as well, but that was a while ago, right? In the past couple days, we've had a few hoodies, but really these the
ape punk and the zombie punk. Now, all this is happening because they figured out a way to like I look, I don't fully know the lore. Something was wrong when they originally launched these and then they launched the V2 punks, right? And
the V2 punks are what caught on even more cuz the contract something was they've fixed it and this is what is really driving all the hype behind this. I did read the um, no, wait. There was another post I
wanted Yeah, this one. Uh, I did read this post um, which I agree with this take saying like okay that we have this new stuff and like it's sort of like a battle between historically first and the one that
historically first and the one that caught on. And now, like let's pretend all the money flowed from the current punks that are trading it from the the the ones we look at punks, right? The CryptoPunks that we refer to trading at
$72,000. Imagine all that money flowed and the V1 punks flipped V2 punks, which are currently at $8,700. So, roughly a 9x from here. Obviously, that would be great for V1 punk holders, right? That would be a
really bad though. There is a lot of money behind the V2 punks. Right behind these CryptoPunks. There is a ton of money. And I I would not like to see this rotation. As much as I would want to, you know, get into a V1 punk
and have it go to 30 ETH, I would not like to see that money, that 26 ETH, come from all these punks and for these punks to go to zero or to go to four ETH or whatever. That would not be good in my opinion. I want to keep seeing these
punks go up and I want to see V1 punks go up. Like how much were they at back Uh let's filter by all time. At one point, these were trading at 15 ETH and they kind of trickled down. So, you know, I hope they I do hope they go
to 10, 20, 30 ETH. Uh but by that point, I hope these punks are at, you know, 50, 70, 80 ETH, 100 ETH, right? Um that's what I would want to see. So, I don't want to see this rotation. You know, I had bookmarked this, but I didn't have a
chance to read it this morning. V1 punks one V1 punks are up 70% on the news that you can now interact with the original contract to buy and sell V1 punks. So, explains um how they fixed it, which doesn't
that they fixed the contract. The funny thing is I I a post this morning. Uh let me grab it a post this morning. Uh let me grab it from my my bookmarked posts if I can.
Let me zoom out a little bit. Bookmarks. I think I bookmarked it. I think I bookmarked it. No, what was his name? His name is It's Ellie, I'm pretty sure. The person who posted about this.
The person who posted about this. Um But I think he said like the funny thing about all the hype around V1 punks and
them fixing the contract is there's only been one sale using the new method, I didn't look, but if that's true, that's really funny. Yeah, so I fumbled this one. I wish I would have bought one, but um
I think they could still do well. What's the difference between them and punks? Really no, it's literally just they were launched first. There was a launched the V2 punks. So these are historically first and but the other one
is the one that took off and got all the money. Agreed. Agreed. It's confusion is never good for a market. That's the last thing
you want. Hyper hype is at 52. Let's go, bro. Hyper hype is at 52. Let's go, bro. Unless V1 come punks become beanie baby Little Oh, you mean beans. I thought you were saying beanie babies. Yeah.
Um why what are aren't what aren't the doginals? No, I don't know what the doginal dogs are. Um Is it a Is it on doge or is it a
But yeah, their website is cool. I like the website. are the ones that are unwrapped and these are the wrapped ones with the wrapped. So yeah, these ones are unwrapped. Oh, look, I like these. I
a nice one and buy it, but like I don't want to you know, I'm not going to pay for a hoodie 16 ETH. I was kind of debating what should I buy and I was Grifter. And funny enough, OpenSea this morning
is showing me Grifters. So, is this a sign I should be buying a Grifter? I think once they run, they can run pretty hard, you know, go above 20 ETH. Nobody seems to want these green ones on the floor, the fat green ones.
Obviously, these are the cool ones, like the the skull looking one. What are the traits? Um, asset type, legendary. What are the legendaries? Oh, can't afford that. Um, okay, there's four different types.
So, there's the Wretch. Interesting, the bigger round one. There's these ones, which aren't these the floor ones? Yeah, these are the They're like the second most rare. That is so weird. I guess I just don't
these, personally. Oh, no, not these. I prefer the Shady ones. but they're too expensive. I'm not paying 20 ETH. I want to pay floor and Uh, the Shady. Yeah, the Shady's are the coolest.
ain't buying that. Buy an ape. I have an ape. I already have an ape. I have an ape and four mutants in my wallet.
Bored Ape, Mutant Ape, boom. Already got it, sir. Um, let's close this. We got some CryptoPunks. Hopefully, they continue. some really good sales on Punks. Just the other day, we had uh, this top hat
one, which normally top hats don't sell for this much. I've seen like top hat hats sell close for the floor, but this one is very aesthetically pleasing, right? The the hat The beard, the earring, the glasses. I don't care for
it. So, this is why this one went for 130 ETH, like $276,000 for a punk.
big sales uh that happened recently. Let's look at the activity filter by price. Let's do um We have to do Let's do over 100,000, I guess. It might be too low. Um Yeah, this This This one looks like a
Went for 50 ETH. Um when was this? Now, 3 weeks ago. was the craziest sale recently. Interesting. Florentines doing really well. They broke over 0.1 after a low of 0.03. I
day one. Um a lot of people didn't understand that you could add your own traits. So, the ones that had traits, because the website was broken, were going for two, three X the floor. Meanwhile,
um let me just make sure this is working still. Yeah, meanwhile, uh no sense. But now, the floor has recovered. There was some really good buying pressure. And then, was this yesterday or the day before? There was
lot of people are excited because they did announce a token. The artist, uh Cardi, did confirm that this is an official page. I'm kind of wondering, though, why is there hype behind a token? We've seen how many NFT tokens
launch, and they just They suck. Like, you were better off flipping the NFT than holding the NFT and getting the token airdrop. And with a project like use of a token? Like, we don't need a token for this. Now, there is
the fact the option to change your traits, right? That's the whole like customize your own character. Are they going to do a token where you can go buy traits, right? There's maybe kind of like Kaiju originally did, where
Our waste? Was that the name of the token? Where you're able to spend our waste on traits, which was really cool. Like there was some really cool traits. going on? But yeah, if they if if the artist is
going to do that, I like that. That's a cool idea. Now, would I buy the token Would I hold the token to to just for with that utility? Absolutely not. But if you want to customize your character and you use the
customize your character and you use the token, hey, why not? Um so, cool to see and you know, I'm not going to compare it to Normies, okay? Because I don't calling that it's going to go out of 0.4." But the the pump here was giving
me Normie vibes. Like it went, you know, it went down, it rallying behind the artist, and it started going up, and there's like legitimacy behind this project cuz the artist is actually trying to do
only. Not to say that art only projects aren't legitimate, but there's a lot of money. Whether it's on royalties, whether it's on mint fees, whatever it is. Will you get a Punk Man? No. I ain't got no money for no Punk. I
afford a Punk, but I'd rather buy like HyperLiquid. I guess I can get a Punk as a play on or maybe get a V1 Punk. said you never talk about Normies. We talk about Normies literally every
episode. Absolutely crushing back to 0.4 for the second time. Congratulations, You know, absolutely killing with this project. I unfortunately flipped all of mine at like 0.12. It went back I bought back in. It went down. I papered at
0.06, I think. Had I just held, had I just had conviction and faith in what or even looked into it, to be honest, I would be up nice right now. So,
congratulations to anybody holding. You know, I know Adam is a top holder here. Not that he cares about money. The dude's a literal billionaire, but really this project do well. You know, it's nice to see a new project, right? Do
well. It's mostly we only talk about legacy collections and the only other project I can think about that launched recently that has a strong floor is Good Vibes Club, right? And now the second one is Normie's. This is another one
that is doing really well. That is, you know, a large supply, right? I'm not like that. I'm talking about a large supply PFP character project that is doing well and is kind of cementing its name as a potential blue chip. And I
like the direction of Normie's and, you know, hopefully these things continue to trend upwards. Nice, you're holding Normie's since .005. Let's go, dude. That is dope. Gorilla, a video covering hype and
comparing revenue generation to pump fun. Yeah, I So, tomorrow I have a a tutorial on hype. On how to you how to buy stocks, how to buy SpaceX on videos, dude. It took me like, you will not believe how many takes I had to do.
You'll see it on the chart, the real takes I did, but I did like 50 takes and four times. I'm a really rusty with my videos. I got to I got to get that muscle work working again.
Yeah, so glad glad Four Three's are doing well, glad Normie's are doing well. Let's move on. Bored Apes, here we have Figgy. This was I could have covered this on Monday, but I forgot. It's been a month since announcing my
transition to CEO at Yuga. The team has done great work over the last 30 days and the next few weeks will be an important part of the shift Bored Ape Yacht Club. So, really excited to see what they going on they got going on
what they got planned for the upcoming weeks. You know, Apes went from 5 ETH to 11 ETH when Figgy announced that he was CEO, slowly, right? Not a pump and dump. And now they're kind of just hovering around 10 ETH. So, I would definitely
Obviously as a holder, right? I'm selfish for my bag, but I just want Bored Apes to win. I want them to win as a PFP collection. I want the vibes to come back. I want them to go to 100k floor. Again, for my bags, but also for
the meme of, you know, don't at me if you ain't got that 100k PFP, and to just, you know, laugh in in Web2's face like, "Yo, oh yeah, these worthless JPEGs you keep talking about whenever you trash on Web3, you're always talking
you trash on Web3, you're always talking about um bought his ape for 1.3 million." Like, first of all, he didn't. It was gifted like I don't know why they're always focused
on that. Uh so, I want them to go back to 100k, and I think that will bring a lot of vibes, right? People like things more the more expensive it is. So, I think 100k would be an amazing target for them. And by then, you know,
million or something like that. If that happens, I I can't predict the future, but I'm kind of feeling something happening right now with NFTs. I'm normally talk about NFTs talk about it. Um
Will we get the 2021 vibes? I hope. I don't expect it, but I do still think we're going to get a good run. But, if we do go into an era where, you know, the money printer's turned on, we're in a risk-on environment, people
it's it's almost like we get that blow-off top, you know, where things just go absolutely nuts. I think NFTs are going to play a serious role in that Excuse me, a serious role in that world where,
flex. And then it all goes back down again, right? Everything crashes. It's going to crash again, but I'm going to ride it up, and I want to take advantage Um so, really excited to see what the team's got planned, um both as a holder
and just somebody who likes the brand. Um do I have this twice? Yes, I do. Uh figure we just covered this. Let's close that. Uh let's talk about some mints and The Beaks mint price released. Any thoughts? Was that real? I saw
thoughts? Was that real? I saw I saw a post from Discord, but I wasn't sure it was actually real. Um oh. No more reposts without those notifications.
what what project? Beaks Beaks Beaks. Did they actually post the price? Yeah, I saw somebody in a Discord said like it's .03. That's the real price. You know, for a 1,400 supply, I don't mind it. Yeah, I don't see an actual
price. I don't know if they confirmed confirmed it. Howdy chat. How you doing, Um if it's .03, like I don't mind that. It's a low supply. It's a legit artist. want to make some money, right? It makes no sense for him to do this for
absolutely free. And then people hate him cuz the price goes down like um you time. I don't know how much his web two work goes for, but he seems real like very good, uh very talented. So, um
think that's a very fair mint price, especially for him. especially for him. So, what what is .03 ETH? $70, dude. Isn't whitelist selling for like $300 for this project?
Um yeah. If it's .03, I like it. Yeah. .03 is fair. We minted Momoguro for .22, bro.
Oh god. Um moving on. We had a couple mints do decently. We had these Dino Sprites. Like I faded these, but a lot of people in Waypoint cooked on these. I know Nexus, Captain, and a bunch of others had them and they did really well
cuz these pumped like crazy. So, they're like crazy. You know, If if you held a lot, they pumped like crazy, right? But I know some people had like 300, 400 of these like fun little projects that are doing well. Uh which I like to see. Then
uh we had some art projects. So we had The World Is Violent Enough uh by Noper. did much though. I think the mint price was pretty much 0.04. Yeah, 0.042. Okay,
now unfortunately they're under the mint price. Um for a very small supply it's shocking. And then the other one uh let me just refire this so it doesn't break. Uh the other one was this one uh Impact
Memories. Now this artist actually really cool. I looked into some of his one-of-ones. Some really great work. I'm a I'm a sucker when it uh would it be this one?
No. I mean it is, but um I should have I should have prepped this early in advance. Um let's just go to early in advance. Um let's just go to His wallet wouldn't be called that. Um
could pull it up on Twitter after. Uh but he's a he's a really cool artist. I go to his Twitter. What am I doing? Here we go. Uh so this is actually a piece I love. Dude, I love Ghost in the Shell. I love
Dude, I love Ghost in the Shell. I love Cyberpunk. So I love this style. Um So really cool artist. Uh added him to my art list. But uh this collection did well. Uh at first you know it went to almost 0.1. I think a lot of people are
seeing these low supply collections and they're just you know they're hoping for Gift of Time. Gift of Time was at 0.02. It kind of slowly built up. It went all the way to 1 and 1/2 ETH. It is still holding around 1.1 ETH last time that I
checked. Um you know so I think a lot of people are just minting this art stuff hoping it does that. And you know if you minted it you still got out in profit if volume kind of slows down. When that usually happens, I don't know.
It could be a sign to get out. I I'd have to look in how Gift of Time actually performed cuz I think it did it was like a slow cook. But uh glad these need to understand what you're buying. You are buying literal art. You are
buying little art literal art that is only as good as the demand that comes in bought it to collect it and you want it in your wallet, amazing, right? Then you you know, obviously you don't want to see it go down, but uh at least you have
the art that you wanted to collect at ideally a mint price. If you paid 2x for it and then it goes down, that's very frustrating. Um that's kind of what's happening like with the the No Notice collection from uh Modest, right? Uh
plenty of people, myself included, minted some for a flip, some cuz you like them and you want to hold it, but uh yeah, it's kind of attracting the the wrong crowd, which I'm part of that crowd. Um but you
footing eventually. Uh and then this morning we actually had this mint called Ebisu. It's basically back to mint price, but it went Oh, they went to 0.02. Oh, not even. Okay, 0.015. Um
Oh, not even. Okay, 0.015. Um yeah, so uh this artist is a comic like an Archie comic book style, like more of a modern take on it. Uh I went to his IAM page. You know, he's worked with some pretty big artists, uh ASAP
Rocky. I don't know most of these names. Sony Pictures, Paramount, uh Adidas and Sony Pictures, Paramount, uh Adidas and stuff. So, he's done a lot of stuff. Um been an artist for a while. I I like the art. They minted out way
too fast uh because of botters. This was a botters paradise. And you know, floor. So, there was no whitelist phase for this. It was purely for bots. The artist made I think like 75 grand. So, GG's to the artist. And uh we'll see if
based on the price. Uh it reminds me a lot of a Cardano collection I originally got to in my old videos. I had the frames on the background in my office. Um bro, the botters are messing
just taking too much of the supply and then they're mass dumping it, which I what? It was $10 profit like after fees, maybe $8
profit. But if you have you know, a hundred of them, then you're making $800. I completely understand why the botters are doing this, you know? Uh this is why you need to white list. You need a white list. It doesn't have to be
don't know, make a white list for like punk ape pudgy Azuki holders, whatever it is. You make it that you need to have legitimate assets in your wallet. Um that that I think would help things out. Would it have minted out? Maybe
out. Would it have minted out? Maybe not. artist would be disappointed. Now the artist has 75k. Does he care about the back punks. Uh when I meant when I commented on the back punks guy like,
"Dude, he lowered it from he was saying should we lower it from 50 to 20 per person?" I was like, "Make a white list for all these collections cuz you're literally said like, "Why should I care about botters? None of those collections
are pixelated collections." Like the dude was completely lost and now his project's at zero. Again, not that he cares. He made the money. Um but yeah.
is somebody brought this up uh last week or on Monday actually during my stream. Um somebody brought it up, which was really cool. A day later, they opened their website, which I really like this. It's like a a good you
mute site. Um yeah, it cool you I like this kind of stuff, you know, you just run through it. It's going to ask you for your your wallet. You don't have to connect anything. And then it's going to break
down, right? It's some character who's redacted shows up and kind of like shuts things down. So, I'm not convinced we have white list yet, but I think doing this puts you on a list and there's probably going to be future steps that
you're going to have to complete later on, which I like. I like the game. I mystery part of this kind of stuff rather than just like submit your wallet, you have white list, boom, onto the mint. Um so, yeah, I definitely have
to look deeper into this one, have a chat with the team because there I this is really cool work uh what they're doing. So, free to enter. You don't have to like pay anything. You literally just go to
the Hermeans and then uh go on the website. There's a password, okay? People are asking me about what's the password. Uh look through I don't want to leak it. Um Is it I can I find it down here?
I don't want to leak it. I com- Somebody asked me it on my post about it and I commented uh that I don't want to leak it. Let me go find it. it. Let me go find it. Um
affiliated with this project. What? Despite the bio? Uh no, it is bro it's Despite the bio? Uh no, it is bro it's not it's not real?
Darn. That's really disappointing. I thought there was I thought there was a bunch of clue I'm going to have to ask the guy who who brought it up on the show uh because there was a lot of um
apparently clues here. Um yeah, that's unfortunate. experience. You You what? It could still be something really cool. You got white anything. Uh but it's a very bad sign
that they put Now's Research in their bio. Oh, they put not affiliated now. That's a shame. Clarification on the attribution in just completely broke your project,
acknowledge and respect the need for clarity identity We previous phase powered by Now's Research in our bio unintentionally.
Uh the phrase was really intentioned by as the technology attention. We will continue AI narrative. I think they really had something and uh now you just really had something and uh now you just dropped the ball completely.
it's a NFT mint. Uh hopefully it still does well, but off to a bad start. Uh The website was really cool. Uh so I'm I'm not giving up on it. Um that was just really unfortunate.
Uh moving on, we have a hint at a mint price for Hollows between 10 and $50. 30 bucks. You know, if you went as low as 10 and as high as 50. Um I saw this morning he said like oh, you know, a lot of of reaction to the mint price. People
You could he could have announced a $1,000 mint price and people would be like I love it. Can I have white list, you know? Uh you got to be careful where people will just say anything and then they will stab you in the back. Um but
you know, for for a creator like Ali to be releasing this if I did a collection, like I want to make a good amount of money for it to be um for him to releasing this like I do think it needs to be a decent um
a decent mint price. And let's say what's the supply? Is it 5,000? You know, at $25 you'd make over 100 grand, which is a lot of money, don't get me wrong, but I don't know. I I wouldn't do an NFT collection just to
make 100 grand. Like if I do a meme coin or an NFT ever, I'm making over a million dollars. Like that's how I'm looking at it. To go through the hell like I want to make over a million especially that one, I pay half in
taxes. Half goes to my government. So, I'm already down to 500k, and then you need to invest a lot into whatever you're doing with unless it's art only, right? If it's art only, then I get it. I probably wouldn't
probably do like a secret name or something. Um yeah.
to tokens. Moving on to tokens. Um I will we'll go through the comments after. We have VVV is now available to trade on Robinhood, which is great, including in New York. Wow. Uh but
honestly, has Robinhood lost their motion? Like have they lost their motion? If we look on the chart, this is the candle from that announcement. That the candle from that announcement. That is a 20% candle getting listed on
Robinhood. If we look back to Pepe, when Pepe originally got listed on Robinhood, let's switch the market cap. Uh let me zoom out a little bit here and find it. When uh Pepe originally got listed, it had let's just go from the bottom. On
it had let's just go from the bottom. On November 13th, it went up 75% on two in November 13th, it went up 75% on two in two days it went up 100%. It 2x from I believe yeah, from 5 bill all the way to 10 billion.
Has Robinhood lost their motion? Like does a listing on Robinhood, where it's now available for all the No Armies, it only gets you a 20% candle versus Pepe when it got listed did a 5 billion dollar market cap jump. It 2x its market
I don't know. I feel like maybe because Pepe is already recognized as a mainstream character and now it was like, "Oh, the normies can buy in on Robinhood." Which it's a coin they'd probably turn to as a meme coin next to
something like Doge versus versus VVV. You know, who knows what VVV does, right? It's a It's an AI coin, but does the average person understand what it does and like the decentralized nature of AI and it's kind of like the meme
coin. It's Pepe is a meme coin. It's culture. You understand it even though you know, there's nothing really to understand, right? Versus VVV or Venice you kind of need to understand the tech to really get it. So, um you know, it
higher, right? It wasn't a pump and dump. It's actually higher than where it was. So, this can continue to push, but you know, I was shocked to see that the chart and it would be at $34, you know, at least. So, it was really weird to see
uh that it only got it it basically it didn't even break its all-time high or better a bigger all-time high before? No. Yeah, it didn't even break its recent all-time high with a Robinhood listing. That is just wild.
Um after that Hype continues to just be the best performing token in my portfolio. I am really happy I did not sell. I was debating selling Hype the other day because the market was going down. Thankfully, I talked myself out of
it and uh I was just like, "You know what? If it goes down, you're buying more." That's That is the correct way to look at it and we are now at $51. What is the all-time high on Hype? The all-time high is near 60. So, I want to
go into price discovery. I mean, the chart looks really good. So, uh of people bull post on it. There's so much that has happened recently. Uh regular regulatory path for stocks. I have a video tomorrow on hyperliquid for
pre-market, right? It's about SpaceX, but it applies to everything. We have but it applies to everything. We have Coinbase and um issuing or buying uh making a deal for USDH, uh but they also bought more hype. They increased by 25%.
increase, but they also increased their exposure to hype. They said they staked Uh oh, yeah. Here. Circle staked. Um I Circle? Okay, I thought it was Coinbase that increased their Maybe they both did
it, right? And now uh Goldman Sachs apparently opening up a position in the DAT per. Uh I saw this. Um do I have it? Yeah, here. Uh Arkham Um do I have it? Yeah, here. Uh Arkham saying Goldman Sachs sold $152 million
in XRP, 500 million Ethereum, 450 million in Bitcoin, and they bought That is funny to see, right? The decentralized world. These people are coming into our world. Um That is funny to see. So, I'm really happy with the
performance of my hype bag. Again, I wish I had more. Um but, you know, uh I I'm glad I have some. I have a uh mid-sized five-figure bag in hype. Uh I wish it was six-figure bag, but
um it's doing really well. Glad to see hype is continuing to do well. Here we have hyperliquid is not a crypto app. It's a super app. It's not targeting the $3 trillion crypto economy. It's targeting the $600 trillion global asset
targeting the $600 trillion global asset market. This feels like an XRP type of okay, if it pumps the price, great. But, we don't need this, you know? it's going to be interesting to see the evolution of hyperliquid. Are they Right
now, they're decentralized. Are they going to be forced into a key a path to KYC? I don't know. Um but you know, I really like hype as a platform. I like the token that it's up.
I'm sure if it was down I'd be really pissed and trashing it right now, but Um yeah, and then what else do I got for stories? There was this coin that came out on base called the sleeping giant. It ran all the way to 7 million and then
now it's pretty much going to zero and there was a few posts by Ansem and sleeping giant sitting on base right now and then you know, a few hours later Jesse came comes and says the same thing. He might have just been posting
what others say, but you know, are they doing like this person's accusing them don't know if they're actually doing that, but I don't know. Lately Jesse has been the top to stuff. Like when Jesse posted the abnormal Mfer the other day,
that was bearish to me. Like unless you're deploying serious funds, just especially from Jesse. You know, he's done a lot with coins and NFTs and posted stuff and a lot of it has just gone to zero. So I personally
don't like seeing that, but there's action on base. So base is still worth paying attention to. There was that pitch coin the other day with with um I heard Rune owns a lot of this. I don't know if it's true, but this is kind of
of around around the upcoming FIFA match, right? Um it went all the way to 4 mil. Nothing crazy, but there's been some action on base lately. So definitely worth keeping an eye out for. I haven't really touched
Hopefully there's some runners that pop up real soon. Me say me just saying that, I feel like there's going to be something. Um so yeah. I think that's pretty much it for the
before I switch my screen. We're going to go full screen here. Boom. Yes, it works. Amazing. Are there any comments that I missed that I want to read? I'm going to fix the layout. I got to fix the layout of the stream,
too. Right now, we have the me on the side here. We got the chat box under me. I've been debating putting the chat box. I wish you could see my cursor, but the chat box over over the screen when I'm showing stuff.
I got to figure out the um the at a lot of these Easy has a really nice layout. I find it's a bit crowded, but timeline, I'm like, "Oh, that's Easy's stream." You know?
Which is what you want. Any thoughts on the AF EF.cap? Is that uh
Is that Yeah, these ones. Um what are they meant to be $20 a piece, I think? Are they minting on OpenSea or Transient?
welcome new people small enough uh that past collectors still matter. uh that past collectors still matter. So, he has a previous collection?
into it. Um other stuff? Not that it matters. Like, you look at that Dario guy. He has like
30 collections, and people are super excited for reorder, but it's like, "Why aren't you buying his old stuff?" Outside of getting white list. Um Outside of getting white list. Um Yeah, art one of one drawing originals.
Okay, this is like physical art. I want to find his digital art. Hm. Well-known OpenSea. Yeah, they're cool. you know, if is the type of thing that I think could run uh $20, we'll see. $20
which I like. Uh, but no, it's definitely cool. definitely cool. And um
into it. Um, yeah.
Remaining. Hm. Is it on OS? How do I find it on OS? Let's just try searching ef.art on OpenSea. ef.art OpenSea. ef.art Will it work? Uh, there's cities.
Is this the this drop? No, this drop? Yeah, cities. Um I'm not even streaming, bro. My bad.
he has he currently has this drop that there's still 134 pieces left. Um People are selling them at a loss. Wow. Wait, this is this drop was like a year ago? And just never sold out?
And this is a weird layout. Why is it doing this? Is this actually Yeah, cities the player. I'm guessing this is his real collection? this is his real collection? Yeah.
don't know. We'll see, you know, $20 mint price is uh is pretty cheap. It's not the cheapest, but it's it's cheap enough. Again, if you're doing this work, I get it. Degens want things for like a dollar, but it's
not worth your time to sell it for a dollar and do all that work and then and then the D gens are the ones that make the money on a flip. So, yeah, it's real Uh obviously Captain knows.
Um that's unfortunate. could have minted for 0.15. I guess he wanted the right He relisted it for 1.55
ETH. That's funny. Imagine it sells when there's still 134 left to be minted.
Uh he he's got wall work at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Oh, that's really Center in Brooklyn. Oh, that's really cool.
that does it for today's stream. Wow, 53 minutes. I'm surprised. I was like, do I just save it for Friday? But, I Yo, we had enough to to make a video today. So, I did a stream. I Like I said, ideally get this stream to 5 days a week and
just have a recurring show that people know is happening. I feel like I feel like you know, Monday Friday is good, but you kind of forget about it, right? Versus daily, it's like, oh, Gorilla stream, Gorilla stream.
Yeah, so we're going to try to get it to daily. Ideally, there's enough happening need a team. I'd probably need a team to help me come up with content. So, maybe I'll do some hiring. Why is the camera zoomed in to your face now? Uh it's my
lens. So, So, it uh I can't zoom further than this. could back up. Do you like this better, Captain?
Captain? Do you like this better, Captain? we're going to end the stream here. I called it's called a bull versus a bear
market gorilla. Um, what do you mean? comment's referencing. Uh, how do you how do you bots intervening? You're always going to have bots, but if you white list in
if you collab with certain communities like mine, Gorilla Labs, you know, can actually check that there's not going to be burners, to real members. Funkari, it goes to real members. Um, Braided's group it
Braided's group or NFT Boy or whatever group in Alpha Gems, it's all going to real members. Um, so they're not bots. And then, if you, you know, you give white list to holders of certain collections, somebody might be able to
bot it cuz they hold a lot of NFTs, but at least he holds NFTs versus just a wallet that has nothing in it. And then 50 wallets one botter is doing it and, list somewhere or he bought white list or whatever it is. So, I would collab
And did I just sell something? I heard the OpenSea noise. Um, I would collab with different communities and I would, uh, maybe give white list to you know, uh, certain holders of certain
stuff. Uh, which camera? Oh, I had it zoomed in. Oh, you had it zoomed in. Okay. Uh, why? I don't get this comment. Why? What is that? Is that a seal? Is that a seal?
You tell me. Um, but yeah, that does it for today's stream. So, tomorrow I have a video I have a tutorial on hyperliquid and then, um, Toxicitosin wants me to make a video on actual hyperliquid. Maybe I'll do
on what is hyperliquid. Get some engagement on the timeline from the hyperliquid bulls, you know? And then outside of that, I still want to make a tutorial for Padre or terminal now that it's called. Just
to shill my referral link a little bit. I mean, to educate the people and yeah. More streams. More streams. Join Waypoint. Waypoint is absolutely crushing it. The community in there is amazing. We are releasing tools very

so you can track all the top traders. And we also have um the mint scanner. If you join our community, we have extra tools on top of the mint scanner like a volume tracker. And then you could also just have the
Waypoint free. These are two different bots. Waypoint black, let's call it, and So this one comes with summaries. So every 3 hours you get summaries of what's going on in the market. You get alpha pings like, "Hey, a whitelist is
available." Or if there's a pre-sale or whatever. An airdrop, whatever it is. An airdrop checker. Then we also have a sports market. So this one is actively pinging you on news in the sports market like
whatever. And it's going to find relevant markets on Polymarket for you. a player I don't want to like jinx any player. Player A is injured and he plays
for this team. This team is playing in 2 days. Maybe the odds are going to shift player." And then, you know, we got new markets so it just immediately pings you when new markets pop up, insider trades. It's
not legit insiders, but it's wallets that are doing They're either really good wallets or fresh wallets that are making suspicious buys, and maybe they have insider information. There's also just buys for fresh wallets. We have a
YouTube summary bot, so you don't even need to could just read about them. We got liquidation alerts. We got token listed, you are going to know, and hopefully hit that green candle, and
a lot more coming soon. A lot more coming soon. Very excited. Captain in coming soon. Very excited. Captain in the audience excited, too. And um yeah, send new invite link. I still couldn't join. So, if you're on YouTube,
