Yo, yo, yo, what is going on? How are you guys doing today? I got probably about 30, maybe 45 minutes before I have to jet. Gonna go get sushi and watch Practical Magic 2. Not my, uh, not my choice of movie. I'd rather go see The Uprising, but, you know, gotta please the ladies, you know what I'm saying? So I thought we guys could just talk today about whatever you wanna talk about. Bull market, um, things you guys are looking forward to, things you guys are kind of, uh, happy about, uh, market stuff, whatever you wanna talk about. Let's do it. Um, anyone else wanna say hi? Wanna talk? So I'm not really, uh, used to doing spaces or hosting spaces too much, so maybe we can just wait for a few more people to get here and listen to a little bit more music or whatever you guys wanna do. Let's crack one open, get the party started. I know a few more people are joining. So a few ways to do this. If you wanna talk, I can-- You can just raise your hand, and I can give you the mic, or I can just make it a free-for-all. Okay, here we go. Approved. What's up, Alex? Hey, I have a question for you.

Overview
This Apu community Space opens with a discussion of global liquidity, Federal Reserve policy, and how participants think about a potential crypto bull cycle. The conversation then turns to Apu's large holders, governance, marketing, NFTs, and requests for greater transparency. Later sections cover disagreements within the community, meme-coin launch mechanics, investor positioning, and the importance of recognizable culture and authentic participation. These chapters summarize the participants' discussion and opinions, rather than verifying their market predictions or allegations.

Sure.
You were saying something about that fed, the Fed turns risk on. What's that all about, man?
Um, I can definitely talk about that, but do you mind turning off the background music?
Oh, is it kind of, uh... Is it too loud?
Yeah, it's just hard to speak over.
Oh yeah, for sure. Okay, one sec. That's the good thing about, uh, analog music.
Right.
So I can just, uh, turn it on and off with a switch. All right. So, uh, b- is that better?
Yeah, that is much better.
Cool.
So your question was, you know, what do I mean about, um, the global liquidity market turning risk on?
Yes.
Okay. So-
My interest
... here is essentially my thoughts on the matter, and I have to say I'm not an expert in economic policy. I just, I essentially found an analyst that successfully predicted, uh, bull markets in the past. He essentially found an indicator.
Nice.
And he basically said that you essentially have two levers that the Federal Reserve tries to pull whenever it tries to influence economic policy, and the biggest lever that they have is this, um, federal funding rate. So this is the amount of, uh, interest rate that, that treasury yields pay. So this is essentially like the amount of money that is, um, necessary to borrow, to, to borrow money.
Right.
And, uh, a lot of people, they just assume, you know, I want the federal fund r- federal fund rate to go down, because if it goes down, then it's cheaper to borrow money, and if it's cheaper to borrow money, then it's easier to put that money into risk on assets.
Right.
Um, but that's not really the only thing. The thing is, is like there's also inflation, and-
Mm-hmm. Which has begun
... when people look, when people look at inflation, uh, and this federal fund rate, they, they essentially try to figure out a way to get money for free and put it somewhere or park it somewhere where they can make more money.
Oh, that's what they were doing with Japan.
Right. So that was the Japan carry.
Right.
Um-
And then they just
... carry trade
So it's not free money anymore, right?
Exactly. So when the Japan carry trade wound down, um, a lot of risk on assets collapsed because there was no longer that liquidity in the global liquidity market, uh, to be able to invest in these, um, risk on assets and, you know, Bitcoin suffered from that. So I'll... When, when people look at Bitcoin or whatever, you know, they make this mistake and they try to kind of conceptualize it, um, based on some sort of like unproven thesis. For example, they say, "Okay, Bitcoin is a store of value," or like, "Bitcoin is like a settlement layer between central banks." But this particular analyst, his name is, um, he goes by Capital Flows, he essentially says, "You have to look at the actual effect. You have to say the purpose of a system is what it does." And what essentially happens is that Bitcoin ends up being a sponge for global liquidity.
Oh, interesting.
So it's... Over, over the last, whatever, 10 or 15 years, the only times that Bitcoin has gone up is when, um, real rates have trended towards zero or actually had become negative.
Well, that, the hal-
So it, it-
Right
... um, so you know, that goes into something like completely, completely different. So when people look at the halving, um, they, they sort of like attribute this magical four-year cycle-
Right
... to crypto. But you know, there's, there's one major flaw with that problem or there's one major flaw with that, um, type of analysis, and that is the four-year cycle, um, has historically been associated with a model called stock-to-flow, and stock-to-flow essentially failed. Essentially, there was a, there was an analyst in the past and he said, "Okay, so Bitcoin is subject to the stock-to-flow model." Basically, uh, there's, uh, amount of tokens that are issued, or rather the amount of coins-
Oh
... and when these coins are, are like halved-
Right
... then there's not enough Bitcoin for demand and, you know, it, it follows this particular trend.
Right.
But unfortunately that's, you know, not exactly true anymore because there's so many more tokens on the market, so you know, anyone-
And with that-
... whatever
... you're saying that it's not true anymore because the halving is a lot less impactful than it used to be, essentially, in layman's terms.
So the halving is less impactful than it used to be. That is true, but also there's a lot more crypto assets available to invest in as well.
Right. But wouldn't it, uh, still be king BTC, the, you know, BTC controls the, the, you know, the market?
Sure. You know, BTC does-
And-
... control the market, but-
And that, and the cycle has been-
S-
It's, it's, it's speculative that it, that it's not gonna be as impactful as it was before because each of the last four years, I mean, it's fallen a pretty, uh, suc- uh, pretty, uh, determined, um... What's the word I'm looking for? Consistent.
Substantial.
Yeah. And consistent four-year cycle. I mean, it hasn't failed yet, right?
Well, I mean, it, it kind of did fail because everyone was predicting that Bitcoin would be, um, at like 180,000 in 2021, and it-
But-
... essentially only 3x'd.
Right. But then it... Okay, you're saying that it, it sl- the, the, the, the bull cycle or the... Yeah. It, it, it slowed down a little bit, right?
Yeah, essentially there's a flattening out.
Right.
But my, my point is, is, is like when people attribute the halvening or whatever to the four-year cycle, you know, there's no evidence to suggest that, that it's true because-
Are you saying the sample-
There's just-
... the sample size is small?
Yes, the sample size is indeed small.
Okay. But previously the four years there has been some kind of... Maybe it could be even psychological, right?
Well, here's the thing. Over the last two cycles, the global, uh, or rather the global liquidity cycle has actually been correlated to a four-year cycle.
Oh, I wonder if that would-
But that's another... Yeah, so there's no reason to suggest that it could be correlated in the future, but it m- it might be.
Right.
But-
I think that-
... for this particular analyst
... if anything else, it seems like f- it seems like a lot of the financials, uh, s- a lot of the economies and fi- and, and, uh, financials happen in cycles and they, it kind of happens in four-year cycles. So I think Satoshi Nakamoto kind of did that intentionally with Bitcoin and timed it along these like cycles and Arcadian rhythms, but that, that gets pretty-
I mean, the, that's certainly possible, but that kind of goes into like these conspiracy theories about whether or not, you know, Satoshi was close to the Federal Reserve or something like that, or rather the people that are involved in it.
Ooh, yeah, that's, that will be a, uh, the next spaces for sure because- ... I am like, I'm gonna w- I'm gonna research that. I'm gonna look into that because I'm a conspiracy fucking nerd.
Yeah. Well, basically, um-
That's how I get my dick
... just... Right. Just to summarize my, you know, the previous topic, essentially, um, what I'm waiting for is for real rates to go down, and that is essentially something extremely simple, which is the federal fund rate minus the, um, inflation over a two-year period. So I'm waiting for that to start trending towards zero. I expected it to trend towards zero, and I expected it to be zero already, but unfortunately it didn't happen.
Yeah.
So, uh, you know, a lot of people are like, you know, I'm not, I'm not trying to name names, but whatever. People are like begging me to invest into a poo and, you know, I really wanted to, but if I had done so at the time that they wanted me to do that, I would've 10X lost my money.
Right.
My 300,000 or whatever would've turned into 30,000.
Well, you know, that's cool that you can get on these spaces and talk about it because I, you know, and what you're saying makes sense. I've been following the, I've been following that, um, as well, and you seem to be able to articulate it a little bit better than I c- I can. But I, um-
Awesome
... you know, I also s- see what's going on with the US bonds, the bond market, you know, and-
Yeah
... all the, every country's been selling US bonds. They've been like, it's like been like a fire sale and they've been buying gold instead. So I wonder if Bitcoin, if that has anything impact on the Bitcoin price or the future of Bitcoin price here s- shortly.
Well, you know, from just a personal perspective, I'm always gonna bet against the U- US economy. I'm just completely fed up with all the, you know, the entire financial system. I don't really particularly care, and that's why I have my, um, portfolio diversified into assets that are not dependent upon the US economy. So I essentially have 30% in real estate, I have 30% in precious metals, and I used to have 30% in crypto, uh, but didn't work out.
Yeah. Well-
So
... I think, y- you mean if you look at like what happened with stocks, right? And, uh, I think we're in a crazy AI bubble right now. I mean, everyone, there's even meme coins that are named AI bubble.
Uh, sure.
Bitcoins, you know, like, um, so we're in a big AI bubble right now, and that's extremely risky at this point to, to-
Yeah
... to be in it.
But-
And I think that's-
... it's risky for-
Yeah.
Sorry, go ahead.
I just, I was just gonna say... Oh, you can hold that thought. I was just gonna say I think that crypto has a long ways to catch up because it's still stuck. It's, it's not even at its previous bull cycle prices when we were pre-inflation and now everything-
Sure. And I-
... inflated and yet, except for crypto. So if-
I agree
... crypto's gonna catch up, that's gonna be a huge fucking run. Like I, when they say 400,000, 400K Bitcoin, oh, easily. That's just to account for inflation.
I agree. There's trillions of dollars in, uh, derivatives market and bond market and all of the other asset classes that can all funnel into crypto. But there is another thi- you know, a tangential topic that I want to talk about, and that is, um, when I make an investment, I try to make sure that I have custody of my assets because I have a feeling that a lot of these old fucking boomers are all gonna lose their ass. And-
I do
... the reason they're gonna do that-
Market
... um, is they're essentially going to write laws, uh, which have, they've already started essentially claiming that the custodians that are holding your, for example, um, ETFs and your stocks and whatever, you're essentially just an unregistered creditor to the bank that you're invested in or the brokerage firm that you're invested in. So essentially they can be bailed out with your own portfolio.
Yeah, kind of like when you own-
That's really-
... private equity, right?
Yeah. And that's essentially the risk that you take when you invest in these stocks. So I'm okay with like losing money and not having any exposure to, uh, ETFs and stocks and all this custodial fund stuff because I don't want to wake up my day and have like some letter from my, from my bank that says, "Hey man, you know, like, uh, your money is ours now."
Private equity.
And I think a lot of people are gonna lose their ass-
Oh, 100%
... um, in the next five or 10 years.
I mean, they've already had private equity which has been crashing out and then, uh, people haven't been able to, um, sell or take-
For sure
... their money back from private equity. And-
For sure. And-
... and private, and these, these companies aren't even using Uh, their own money for these data centers. They're using private e- equity to do it, and these private equity have insurance, health insurance companies that are actually taking on the debt to build the data center. So that way when the, uh, when the health, when the health insurance companies go under, there's a law that the boomers made to protect themselves, well, to protect, protect people under the guise of health, right? And so these health insurances can't go under because it has to have to pay out to, uh, the health insurance claims. So essentially the taxpayers are the ones that bail out when the data centers go under, if that happens, if that scenario plays out.
Yeah.
That's what I heard.
That's wild.
That's what-
The, you know-
... talking heads said
... like, there, there's just going to be s- like, an unprecedented amount of fraud in the, in this entire economic system, and a lot of people are simply not ready for it. The only people that are gonna, you know, come out unscathed are the ones that didn't get too greedy and didn't start chasing all these whatever fads that, um, custodial markets offer them.
I, I think it's kind of ironic that, uh, the stock market has turned into the crypto market.
Yeah.
I mean-
I mean, I would fucking invest in Pokemon cards over, over a market-
It-
... or, like, whatever stock market.
Exactly. It's gonna... It's, it... I'm looking at the volatility. Um, well, it's, it's up only so far, but I mean, it feels a lot like previous crypto cycles. So I find that interesting.
Yeah. Well, you also have to understand that, you know, this is just a game of musical chairs, and eventually it'll all come crashing down.
Yeah, and I think that's done intentionally.
Yeah. I mean, you, you essentially are investing according to the greater fool theory thinking that, you know, there's gonna be some idiot-
I think-
... down in the future.
The crazy part is, is that this happened right before the Great Depression.
Oh, yeah. There's definitely historical parallels.
Uh, before the Great Impression, uh, the Great Depression, like, anyone and everyone was making money in the stock market. You just, you could buy whatever you wanted, and it would, it would go up, and people were just l- living that, you know, high, high on life. Like, people were advertising, um, you know, up only forever and all these other things, so... And then the, the stock market crashed and people lost everything. So I don't know if it will be-
Yeah
... as bad, but a lot of people are gonna be losing their asses, and a lot of people are gonna be losing, like, their pensions and shit like that, which is gonna be pretty sad.
For sure. You know, this system incentivizes, you know, it... R- well, rather, um, people don't wanna work. You know, that's just the simple, the simple fact. Because you can make more money in speculative markets, and you're not contributing to society in any meaningful way, and as a result, you know, eventually society collapses, right?
Yeah.
If no one's working and everyone is investing, you know, who's making, who's actually, you know, contributing the, uh, the actual labor to the society to keep it functional? You know, obviously it's not, and we, we can abs- absolutely see the slow collapse of the entire Western global society pretty much all at once over the last whatever, however long you wanna talk about.
And that's why I, I, I feel like that's why they've been importing, um, third worlders to the, all across the, the, the Western, um, countries.
I mean, that's one of the reasons. But, you know-
Well-
... whenever you're talking about this particular conspiracy or whatever, you're al- there's always gonna be some reason-
Replacement theory. I mean, you know, it's-
Yeah
... a conspiracy 'cause we're s- we're, we don't have any hard evidence as to the motives of what they're doing. But, I mean, we could see the timeline of how it's, of, you know... We could, we can, we can guess what the motives are by-
Sure
... by the, the pol- the, you know, every, all the X factors going on at the same time, right? So-
Yeah. Well, I mean, once again, you look at the system-
Like-
... you see... Sorry, go ahead.
Oh, no, go ahead. Yeah. I was just saying correlation. All right, cool.
So I, I was just saying I don't say conspiracy in a, as a negative term. I'm just saying, uh, there's a very, like, there's a very interesting phenomenon that occurs, uh, whenever you dive into these conspiracy theories, and that is there's always going to be some reason for someone. There's enough evidence. It's as, it's as if reality itself generates the evidence for whatever particular person is looking at that particular conspiracy. So someone might say, "Okay, it's the Kalirji plan. It's the Jews, you know, they're importing this." The other g- one might say, "Oh, well, you know, they're trying to do, like, this great replacement, um, because, you know, there is, you know, better tax bracket for, for these H-1B Indians or something like that." Um, another conspiracy theory might say, "Oh, well, you know, this is just, like, economic policy. It's, it's all related to money." But, you know, you know, everyone has their own idea, right, uh, about anything that happens or any, any particular conspiracy.
I think it's reptilians.
Yeah. You know, that it could be reptilians too.
Fucking lizard people.
Yeah.
That's who it is. No, I, I was, I had this, I had this, like... I was just... Sometimes when I drive, I drive my daughter, like, 35 minutes to fucking school in the morning. Then I have to pick her up, and I have to drive another fucking 35 minutes, 'cause I wanted to move as far away from her mom as I could. So I bought my house in another s- basically 35 minutes away. Uh, anyways, I had, I, like, just, like, the, I just... I'm driving, and I think about shit, you know? And, like, that's when I have my best... I turn off the, the music, and I just kind of daydream, you know, and I just think about everything going on in my life or what's going on around the world, um, what's going on with crypto and the Apu community or whatever, you know. And I-
Yeah
... today I was driving back after dropping her off, and, um- I, uh, was thinking how, uh, fucking gay history is. Like-
Not only is it gay, it's also fake.
Exactly. That's what I mean. Yeah. It's like, fuck, so fucking fake, right? Like, um, the his- the, the Smithsonian, like, hides fucking all the evidence. A- any, any evidence that goes against the mainstream narratives, the Smithsonian, like, hides it and, and, and never talks about it. And you try to call them up and ask for it, and they're like, "Yeah, we don't have that." You know? So I feel like, uh, the-
Yeah
... Smithsonian is part of, is in on it. And it's not just the Smithsonian, it's all this, uh, the entire institution that makes our, uh, society work and run smoothly, right? And so I think that, like, what happens is, uh, society or h- or human race is this, uh, test or not te- I don't know, maybe pet pro- project or test or something like that, where they, we, we get up to a certain point, a certain ceiling of, like, technological advancement, medical advancement, you know, just enlightenment, knowledge, right? And then we, we get to a point where we become a threat to whoever runs this simulation or this game or this project, right? And, uh, they don't want us to achieve, they, they don't want us to become, um, uh, what do, what do you call it? A s- civ- a race, a level three civilization. Whereas, like, you c- you reach, like, inner planetary, um...
Well-
Like, how we-
You have to understand, I, I don't believe in space. I'm actually a flat Earther.
Oh, weird. That's inter- That's, uh, hold that thought. I, I might come back to that. But what I was thinking is like this. Anyways, here's what happens, right? So, like, every 200 years, uh, we, we basically get wiped out, and, And that's why we... And, and, and, and then there was the, these systems in place, and I think it's a, there's a system behind it all, right? And th- they're the ones that control the narratives. They control the history. What... 'Cause what we get taught in school is just all fucking scripted, right? So they control the history. They control the s- the narratives. They control the, the, the, the academic, what, what we, what we are taught in school, like, what we're told to believe, how we're told to behave, our financial systems, our, our, um, our hierarchy of power. That's all controlled-
Sure
... and created. And it's similar with every cycle of humans, right? We, we reach this technological advancement. That's what we don't... That's why, and they, uh, tell us these stories. Oh, these pyramids are just tombs for emperors, you know? Like, bullshit, you know? But they, they know what the, what it is, but they couldn't, you know, they don't wanna tell us because that would blow the lid off everything, you know? And I think if, if a civilization does find out early, then they get, uh, wiped out early.
Well, you know, I have some thoughts on the matter. You know, ultimately, you're never gonna get to the bottom of anything, like, any of this. I've, I've done my due diligence.
I-
I've looked into everything that you could possibly imagine, and ul- you know, ultimately, I realized we're suffering an epistemological crisis where we don't know anything, and everything is fake and gay. And you really-
I think-
... have to ultimately understand that we're in a spiritual battle.
100%. 100% agree with that. It is a spiritual battle.
Hey, who is they?
They are the reptilians, the lizard people. That's hypothetical.
The Jews?
It's, uh-
If you, if you wanna figure out who they are, open your Bible, look at Revelation 3:9.
I'm gonna have to look that up. Revelation 3:9.
Does it say the Jews?
Let me find out.
Is that Patrick? It is.
Hello.
Hey.
Hey, raise your hand if you have a Zyn in or a nicotine pouch.
Oh.
Nice.
What'd you say? What'd you say? Say it again.
I have three, I have three pouches in. "Behold, I will make thee of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews," "and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know what I have loved thee, to know that I have loved thee. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews and they are, and, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee." Revelation 3:9, King James Version.
I also love feet and hate Jews.
That's what it sounds like, huh?
Yeah.
I-
So these people, they're really good at changing definitions.
Oh, yeah. Fuck yeah, they do. I've noticed that. Like definitions are-
Yeah. So, so you have a particular word, and then they change the definition of that word, and then they say, "Okay, uh, this is what was written about this particular word, and it applies to whatever, because this is now the definition." And everyone's like, "Oh, okay. Ho-hum, I believe that," you know? But, but actually it's not true, you know? And they did the same with the word Jews.
And they did the same thing with the word faggot.
Yeah.
Because I think in many countries, faggot means, like, a cake. And in our-
I, I don't know. I didn't look into that
... and in our, um, culture, in the Western, uh, countries, faggot meant cigarette
Yeah.
And now it's, now-
Well anyway, should we talk about Appu or something, or what, what's going on?
Uh-
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. I'm wondering what, what, what, what's going on with the frog, man?
Okay. Yeah, let's get into it. Um, so here's my thoughts on the situation, is, you know, I, I get why people are upset, why, why people have been upset with, uh... You know, imagine this. You know, I think, I feel like we have to be empathetic and, and have an open mind about all this, you know? And, and I try to understand where people are coming from first. I feel like you're not gonna gain any ground with anyone if you don't. Um, so I feel like people are upset, and I think the n- the bull, the bear cycle naturally is gonna, you know, add to that because people are gonna be spinning the whee- their wheels on every day, you know, trying to do something. Do something. Dubs, do something, right? And, you know, there's people that they feel aren't doing anything at all. So, you know, they see a group of people trying hard and working at something hard every day, whatever that may be. Making content, um, being active online, and then you have other people who just disappear. But... And I get that, and I get, get why they're upset, how that could make you feel jaded, like there's some people that are doing all the work and there's other people who aren't, you know? But at the same time, you're gonna have that in every, no matter what coin you're in, no matter what community and you're in, you're gonna have that. And you're even gonna have that in the bull cycle. Because what's to say you're... And every community has this because whether you're in SPX or you're in Ticker Bitcoin or Dog Wif Hat, you're gonna have people that randomly buy a coin, and it'll be a whale, and you may not know who they are, and they'll just buy it and they'll buy 100 other tokens. They'll buy a big share of it, and they'll do whatever the fuck they want, and they'll just be a ghost behind the scenes. You know? It's just volume. So I feel like you have people who are like that, that aren't transparent. You never see or hear from them, and they'll do whatever they want. And then you have the people who are transparent and try to do a little bit of both, right? They're active in the community. They wanna be active in the community, but they don't necessarily have the time in their life for it, for it all the time to be consistent at it. So, you know, they'll try to make themselves known. They'll try and help out here and there w- with what they can. But at the end of the day, people are gonna have their own value, what they provide. Some people can't be online every day to, to, you know, raid or do whatever, but they'll sh- they'll provide value in other ways. And I'd rather have someone that I can see and hear and that I know about that doesn't do anything than someone who I don't see or hear and doesn't do anything. Does that make sense?
It does make sense, Marty, but there is one other thing that I want to add to that, and that is there's this misconception that the whale group or whatever, the whale chat of w- of which I am the leader, is sitting on their ass and not doing anything. The true, um, how would you say, unaligned actors in this space are the people and the wallets that we don't even know who the fuck they belong to.
I agree.
So I'm-
I was looking at the Ethereum.
I... Yeah, exactly. So I am looking at the top 100 holder list, and we essentially only account for, whatever, 70% of that list. The other 30% of that list is unknown whales, unknown wallets that have been consistently selling for the last two and a half years, and continue to do so. But instead of, like, being idealistic about it and saying, "Okay, so let's just invite all of these people," or whatever, "Let's get them, let's find them," or whatever, these people are anonymous for a reason.
Yeah.
They want to be able to sell without anyone fucking up their s- you know, their shit, really. They don't want, they don't want people to get angry at them, um, because, you know, they're selling into whatever, you know, retail volume.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, they don't want to be found. There are, there are some that do. Like, I would estimate that there are whatever, like, maybe 20% of the people I haven't found, even though I've done my due diligence, and the ei- other 80% are covert for a reason.
Do you know what-
And you know that-
Do you know what data lakes are, Alexander? Do you know what data lakes are? Does anyone here know what a data lake is?
Uh, why don't you provide us with a definition?
So my career is in cybersecurity, and I've been doing it for a- You know, I'm just, like, doxing myself here. You can see my face. You know my what I, what I... I'm like, my se- my SecOps is horrible. I just, I'm kind of at an age where I don't give a shit. I have guns, so come find me. You know, that's your problem. I, I'm in, I'm in, fuck, in a, an area where it's all surrounded by gun-toting Americans. Uh, but anyways, that's neither here nor there. Anyways, I, I do cybersecurity. I've done it for, like, 15 years, and so I have a seat at a data lake. And, uh, there's a lot of three-letter agencies that also have access to the same thing, and that's what they use daily. So I was thinking to myself, you know, uh, technology with AI is getting so advanced that here pretty soon, you know, everything's going agentic, uh, uh, now, and they just rolled out with six, which is pretty amazing. I just, uh, y- it's crazy what it can do. Uh, but you pair that with a data lake... Now, data lakes, it's a pool of, uh, it's, uh, it's essentially what it is in that name. It's a lake of data. But here's what the data... And these data lakes are fucking massive, right? Like, massive. They store the entire internet into them. The, the past, present. The past and present. Uh, there's nothing that a data lake doesn't have. And we're talking about Telegram chat histories, private and public, Discord chats, private and public, Facebook chats, private and public. X- I mean, maybe n- maybe not X. I don't know. Elon, uh, is pretty good at encrypting messages. I would say that's, that's probably the most, um, the safest place to fucking talk on. But the point of it is, I'm trying to say, is about people hiding an- an, uh, anonymity, right? Um, is I don't think that's gonna be possible soon with the advancements of AI mixed with data lakes, because you can have AI go through the data and you're, you know, you can have the most skilled, uh, blue team, red team, purple team, you know, um, threat hunter data anal- uh, an- an analysis, right? Um, but pair that with, with AI who can go through millions of lines of text keywords looking for whatever you want, trying to find matches-
Matches
... then-
I, I understand your point.
Yeah.
I understand your point. So, um-
What I'm trying to say is I don't think that they're gonna be anonymous pretty soon.
That's true.
Counterpoint.
And-
Counterpoint
Go ahead
What if I'm homeless, unemployed, on EBT, and I'm Black?
Well, then you're probably...
You're better off than a white guy.
I can pretty much say whatever I want on here then, right?
Yeah, you really don't have any, any reason to give a fuck.
So maybe that's what we should all do then. We should all just quit our jobs and start taking melatonin.
Yeah, I mean, a, a lot of people do do that. There's plenty of chats that are essentially, like, you know, "Be a nigger to the system," you know? And, uh, they just behave exactly like them, and they get the results that are exactly like the results that they get.
Maybe that's what we should do with our Apu.
Just be niggers?
Yes.
I mean, we've tried everything, right? We might as well try that.
I'm down. I gotta switch to Newports.
Shit.
I don't know if I... That might get some use. Um, um, menthol's kinda harsh on my throat but fuck it.
Let's all buy guns and then we can go to the next SPX rally, and we'll just go steal a bunch of their wallets. And then we'll swap with Apu.
Take their cars too 'cause they have more money than us, so fuck 'em. That Lambo's mine. Get out.
We should steal their liquidity and pour it into the frog.
Ooh, I like that idea.
See, this is what we should be discussing in the whale chat. This is why you guys need me in the whale chat.
Well, you know-
Well, you know
Why don't you just buy-
Why don't you just buy $900 million?
Well, I'm fucking poor, okay? I'm unemployed. I'm on EBT. Um-
You gotta finesse it, nigger.
How much, how much EBT you got? I'll buy some off you. What's up?
$800 a month.
All right, so you ship me my groceries, and I send you, I send you Apu. What's up?
You're gonna send me one billion, Apu?
No, I get a discount. I want... How am I gonna send you one billion?
How am I gonna-
You buy $800-
How am I gonna be a whale then?
You guys, how much do you got right now?
None. Zero. I'm homeless, I'm unemployed, and I'm on EBT.
Yo, Pat, stop, stop lying, papi.
I'm Black, I'm lesbian- I'm transgender.
I mean, if we really did wanna be the nigger coin, Pat would be great. A great whale.
Me too, actually, for that matter.
That's what I'm, that's what I'm saying, man.
Blue, blue collar dudes, right? I'm Nigger Kev. Nice to meet you guys.
Welcome.
Me and Kev could really shake some things up around here. If you just give the reins to me and Kev and let us take over, we could probably turn this whole thing around.
Can someone be a whale? Can someone be a whale with, uh, EBT?
Yeah. Do you guys-
I can verify Kev's
... do you guys accept food stamps?
Dom Pip does. Holla.
Can I, can I buy some of your NFTs with my food stamps?
Can we make a whale EB- a, a whale EBT NFT collection? I like that idea.
See, Alex, you're just not thinking hard enough, man. You probably never even imagined EBT being on the table, did you?
Or, you know, cartons of cigarettes. I think that would be another currency.
Yeah. Popcorn should accept EBT on his merch store.
Yeah, and cigarettes.
Yeah.
I like that. So what, what would you say about... What do you, what do you think about opening up the whale chat to just everyone? What do you think is... What are the pros and cons?
Well-
And it wouldn't be a whale chat
... the-
Oh
... I guess, I guess, well, it wouldn't be a whale chat, that's the first thing. Um, it would just be another side chat, you know, and there's plenty of side chats in, in Apu. The-
I do-
The issue is-
I do-
Like I'm not trying... Sorry to interrupt you.
I disagree
... asshole or whatever-
We need more side chats. We need way more side chats or is that enough? I'm only in like seven.
So, you know, just to answer in a like- In a way that doesn't sound completely retarded. The, the thesis that I have is that the largest holders are the most invested, they've spent the most money to, you know, into this project, and they should have a voice in coin governance. And everyone has an opportunity to, to buy, especially after this two and a half year cycle or whatever.
Yeah.
Um, we're, we're in the shitter and, you know, people are still not buying the coin to become whales and, you know, it's kind of concerning.
I agree.
I was a whale, like, three days ago.
Nice. I mean, I only became whale when I, when it dropped down to like, you know, this under 10 million. So I mean, I've been buying a little bit every month. It's kind of slowed down, I'm gonna start buying here again soon before the next, before the next bull cycle. Uh, I feel like it's gonna be here pretty soon, and then we're gonna start... The, here's another thing that I'm kind of fucking worried about though, is that Solana fucking is, is in a fake it till they make it type deal, and it's starting to... They're starting to make it. They're starting to become the de facto, uh, meme coin volume, you know, for, or trading for meme coins, right? They're attracting most of the volume for meme coins, like real volume now. And, uh, they're also getting all the new meme coins, so that's kind of concerning. I, I think that liquidity will eventually throw, flow back into Ethereum, but when, right? Because I can easily buy a Solana me- any Solana coin I want right through my, you know, exchange, so it's a lot easier to-
Yeah. We do have exposure to the Solana ecosystem because we are bridged to Solana.
Right.
So there, you should be, still be able to buy Apoo on Solana through whatever decentralized exchange that you use.
Well, so you can buy Solana meme coins through a centralized exchange now.
That's true, but-
That, you know, that makes it, that opens a lot of doors, makes it a lot easier for, you know, onboarding new people, so-
Well, it's po-
... it's up to you to move his ass.
Not, not every single, you know, Solana token is tradable on a, on a centralized exchange. Like for example, um, there's whatever, hun- 10,000 coins launched per day or more on Solana. Um, if you can buy those, you can buy Apoo as well. That's, that's essentially the point that I'm making on, on that same platform
When I search Apoo in the exchange, it doesn't, it, it just brings up the Solana memes.
Yo, Alex, what's the volume on Apoo on Solana right now? Do you know?
Let me take a look. I mean, it's, it's probably quite low. Um, let's see.
This movie better be fucking good. It's Practical, Practical Magic 2, it's probably gonna be shit.
Uh, volume is 1, 1,000 per day on the Solana. But yeah, you know, the thesis is like, you know, Ethereum will, will eventually, you know, attract liquidity.
But meme-
You know, that was... I mean-
Previous cycles we didn't have a Solana ecosystem as big as this. Solana backs it-
You know, that's, that's true. But you know, people change their opinion about, you know, Solana pretty much like-
Right
... every week.
That's a good point. That's a great point actually, 'cause everything is just cyclical. One minute Solana's the hottest and everyone's like... Then the narrative gets changed to Eth memes and they're all undervalued.
You know what your guys' problem is?
S-
You're not asking yourself what having Pat on your side can do for you. What kind of leverage you have by having Pat with you on your side.
All right. Tell us, Pat, what is that?
Well, really the possibilities are endless. It's up to you and your imagination to decide, you know? Everybody, everybody wants a piece of Pat, okay? Everybody's trying to get in on-
Facts
... the Pat action, but-
I already got some of that
... but I'm very, um, about that-
What's, what's Pat action? What, what, what does Pat do?
A lot of things.
He gives good football.
A lot of things.
Football.
Okay? Indiscriminate things and mainly what I want, right? Mainly whatever I want to do. And so that's kind of my biggest power is if I want to be a part of something, automatically the value goes 10X, maybe even 100X. And you know, the public might not know about that, but it's 'cause they're all stupid. Everybody's is stupid except for me, and I have to tell everybody what's cool. I gotta tell everybody what they should like. And that's kind of what I've been doing, but not as hard as I could be, right? There are, there are other ways to go about this. Right now I'm just tweeting, right? But the whole world is my oyster. I could go out in, in real life and maybe even force people to buy the coin at gunpoint, right? Maybe, maybe I could-
How about this?
What?
Go force people to buy Apoo at gunpoint and then you can take 20% and the rest you can just, you know, buy Apoo with it and burn it.
Why would I burn it?
Well, that's the problem is that nobody is actually serious. We got Pat up here saying dumb shit.
Oh.
Serious.
Oh, is that saucy?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Is that Chick-fil-A sauce?
What's going on?
Let me lick you.
What do you mean, dumb shit?
Well-
Yeah, it's only gonna people and tell them to buy APU.
Uh, yeah, dumbass. You don't think that would work?
If you burned it, then when you eventually go to jail they couldn't get it back.
Yeah, exactly.
That's valid.
It's permission-less.
All right. Let's ask, let's ask a serious question. What are we doing to get people on board, Alex?
Oh, yeah. What... You do have an ini- initiative, right?
That, uh, that should stay-
Uh, we're making NFTs specifically for whales. You're not allowed to buy the NFT unless you're a whale already.
That's old. That's old. I'm talking about what's new for our pool. What's coming up? That's what I wanna know.
All right. So we're gonna start accepting ABT.
Dude, you're coming on here and you're just being like some Nigerian going, "You know, Dev, do something." Right?
Well, no. We-
Yeah, it really is
... it's a good question. I, you know, hey, listen, I, I think in these spaces there's enough room for e- all personalities. And, uh, you know, I, I like Pat coming on and fucking around. It's, adds some fun to it. And then some people wanna ask me-
No, sure. You know, whatever. I don't care who talks. Whatever. Oh, they can have their own opinions, but, you know, it doesn't mean that I can't not voice my own.
No, I-
Wow, Alex, you blocked me?
Did I?
Why would you do that? Dude, you are a homo.
Dude, it's not personal.
He blocked me too. There is-
I didn't, I didn't even look at who I was blocking.
Right.
You know, there's a lot of people, there's a lot of people that block me too, and I'm, I'm not even worried about it. It just-
This is, this is unbelievable, man. I might just take my talents elsewhere.
Oh, no.
Hey, uh, so let's talk, let's get the conversation back onto what i- initiatives that, you know, are, are going on right now to help the coin.
No.
Yeah.
I don't even wanna talk anymore. This is-
Patrick
... fucking unbelievable
... Patrick, let's relax. Let's relax
This is unbelievable.
It's unbelievable.
This is a betrayal.
Hey, counsel
Patrick, let's relax.
It was a heavy ga-
Pat, do you have any, um, do you have any anti-anxieties at your disposal?
Fuck this. I quit.
Malt liquor? Do you have some of that?
I quit, and I'm taking all my good-ass ideas with me.
Well, too late. You already used them all. We have-
I'm going, I'm going over to SPX, okay? Uh, and I'm gonna start taking hormone blockers- ... and I'm gonna wear a wig.
Is that what they do?
I don't-
Yeah
... listen, I don't know why SPX gets so much hate, man.
And I'm gonna start wearing makeup.
That, them guys over there, them guys over there is something diffy. I ain't gonna lie.
Yeah. I'm gonna look good as hell. I'm gonna glow up, and you're all gonna be jealous.
All right, Patrick. Let's relax for a second.
Especially you, Alex.
I wanna know-
Fuck you
... what, what's our pool got cooking in the fucking kitchen, Alex? What's going on?
Yeah, Alex, tell us what the latest-
I think you guys, you guys, you guys really sound broke and desperate asking this guy what the fuck's going on with the price.
Yeah, how the fuck is he supposed to know-
I'm not asking-
... dude?
But I'm not, yo, hold on
He knows no shit.
I'm not asking what's going on with the price.
Are you guys serious?
I'm asking what do we got cooking in the chef's kitchen.
Nothing. Nothing, Don. Nothing's cooking, okay?
Nothing.
'Cause Alex is fucking clueless, and he doesn't understand culture. He doesn't know what-
Can you guys hear me? So I'm just gonna, uh, interject real quick. And everyone, shut the fuck up just for a second, please, 'cause I do want Alex to s- to tell everyone what's going on with the liquidity risk project. It's, I can't remember what it's called. Capital flow or something. So can we all just shut the fuck up for two seconds? I'm gonna unmute it, and then, uh, he can say his piece, and then we can move back to bullshitting and jerking off. Okay.
Alex, I'm gonna rape you. I'm gonna come and rape you in real life.
Can I, can you rape me first?
Who is this, who is this Pat guy thinking he is?
All righty. Um, basically I have some money, uh, at my disposal, and I want to pump the chart, uh, the moment that the global liquidity cycle indicates that it's moving to risk-on assets, because I believe that Apu can attract that liquidity. To that extent, I am waiting personally to invest my money at that time. Now, a lot of people, they say that I'm preventing them from buying or that I'm, like, predicting drawdowns or something like that, but I am not doing that. This is just my own personal money that I'm willing to invest into, into Apu, and I'm literally telling people when I'm going to do it so that they can front-run me. I'm telling the entire community when it's going to happen.
Yeah, I don't, I mean, it's, that's pretty cool. I don't see many whales doing that.
Right. So basically you go to the Capital Flows chat on Telegram, and if you see... You know, I've g- I'm going to make my wallet public. I'm gonna buy it with one wallet. I'm not gonna use secret wallets. And if people are seeing that I am buying, they essentially can just fucking port, full port into Apu. And essentially this will create a cumulative effect where Apu attracts the liquidity it deserves at the precise moment that macro goes risk-on. But, you know, it requires patience.
So your genius idea is to buy the bottom and have everyone copy trade you
That's basically it.
Awesome.
Because the best marketing is the chart.
Awesome. I'm glad we could get to the bottom of that.
Oh, let's, let- I'm not a ga- I'm not the gatekeeper for FU initiatives.
What's the difference with that and 5G?
Do you understand that?
What's the difference between that and 5G? You guys cling on 5G all the time like he's some... You guys are dogs on it. Like-
'Cause 5G has aura
... at least Alex actually has-
5G has aura, okay?
At least Alex a- he doesn't have aura, bro. You're, you're gonna have to have aura.
5G has aura.
He doesn't have aura. These are from meetings.
Yeah. Uh-
That's the difference
... yeah, he has 300 and he sees something eth too he stole from the wallet. But at least Alex actually says shit and has plans. You guys still hate on it. It's amazing. What does 5G do? He just hypes you guys and blows smoke up your booty hole with Happy. "Hey, Froth, buy Happy." Like, for real, you guys are deadass right now. It's so fucking stupid. Good job, Alex. I like, I like the initiative. I like the thought process. I like-
Sauce, you haven't even been around for two years, buddy. You've been having a fucking mental episode. You've been having a psychotic break.
Yeah, that's cool, Pat. Says the drunk that's fucking drunk at 12 o'clock in the day or whatever time. It's still daylight and you're smashed already, bro. Shut the fuck up, Pat.
Sauce. Sauce. Sauce.
And you know what? And you're a fool, man.
That is hilarious, dude.
Nobody likes you.
You're literally the alcoholic here.
Sauce, let's relax.
You can talk when I'm done.
Let's relax.
I'm just saying, bro.
Let's relax, Sauce.
There was that one point in time where Pat was known as a heavy fucking degenerate and nobody wanted to associate with him until it became beneficial for the High Council, which is why they paid Pat. And Pat- ... you know what I'm saying is true.
Patrick, how much did they pay you? 'Cause I never got nothing. Hola, give me kiwis.
Dude, I fucking wish I could be paid to be a drunk, degenerate alcoholic.
It definitely wasn't 8K. It, it definitely wasn't 8K a month, that's for sure. I really finessed the hell out of those guys.
Thank you, Sauce, for that because, uh, I feel like we should get, uh, get, uh, everything out, how we feel.
You hear that, Alex? High Council's paying me. Maybe if you paid me, I'd be on your side.
Uh, I wish... You know what? I hope they pay you the entire amount of money that 5G stole. I, I hope they give it to-
I do-
... to you. I don't-
I do too
... I don't feel you've become a whale.
Do you actually think that he stole that?
Wait. Okay. I, I mean, yo, can I, can I say something? Pat's a little buzzed right now. Can I say something? Why do we keep going back? We're never gonna heal, okay? We spoke about this months ago. Why are we going back to 5G? Why?
Let me ask you guys something.
Why are we going back to Alex?
Where is the proof?
He has no life.
Where is the proof that 5G stole this money?
Alex.
So we do have, we do have, uh, the... It's all on chainsaw. On the, on the Etherscan we can see that he extracted the money, and then we don't know where it went from there. So you can deduct, uh, if we haven't seen any of it for... spent on the community, then where is it, right? I mean, if he can... And every time we ask him, they sidestep the question. So if there's-
Culture
... transparency involved, why wouldn't they just say, "Hey, here's what happened."
Culture.
Listen. Uh, we already spoke on this. We got past it. Why are we making a space going backwards?
Well, I don't... That's not my goal, but at the same time, if people are still... If people do still have feelings about this, then I don't want to, you know, mute them. How about this? Let's- Your feelings are valid. How you feel is valid. And- Let's table the 5G stealing community funds discussion for another time. Let's wait for Culture to release his data package so that we can all see all at once on his Etherscan. I mean, it... Yeah. It's, it's-
Me. Let's... Like, me, honestly, honestly, me, I don't think 5G stole no 500K, Alex.
Do, do you think he split it between-
Yeah. I don't think so either.
He did not steal 500,000.
So is that the- Once you- Is that just vibe or...? Once you look at the evidence, you can make that decision for yourself.
Look, Shroom told me 5G can bench three plates.
The... And I believe it. He could bench three and a half.
Yeah. I believe that. I don't think that he would steal that money.
Nah.
Okay, so it's just vibes, right?
What you mean vibes?
I'm a really good judge of character, buddy.
I- I-
I, listen, let's honestly-
Yeah. He is
... okay, let me put myself in 5G's shoes. If I stole 500 motherfucking thousand, you think I'd still be on X?
Yeah, you just in here chilling with us?
I mean-
Nah
... it's worked so far.
Ah.
The wallet, the wallet... Listen, at the top of the wallet, the top, how much was in that wallet?
John, let me explain something to you. No matter what we say about 5G, you're not gonna believe it until you look at the actual on-chain evidence.
I looked. Listen, I looked at the documents-
Well, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this
... when you made the document. I looked at the document.
Who was paid, who was paid for the last, like, three sponsorships? Do you guys know?
So Bane claims that it's, uh, community. Yeah.
Out of pocket. They're coming out of pocket for it.
So why would... Or do you think Bane is lying to you?
Um, I do think Bane is lying to me.
Why?
Why can't they just tell... say that then? Why don't they just say that and say, "Here's the receipts"? It would clear everything up, right? I mean, seriously.
Where else do you think they're getting the money from?
I don't know. They haven't set... They haven't had to provide any transparency.
Do you think they're actually pulling the money out of their fucking pocket to do this-
I do
... and then just stealing the... Like, that doesn't even make any sense.
I would say, I'm just saying the only way we know for sure is if there's accountability.
Okay. Well, here's my point. Let's say they did take the community funds, okay? Now they're paying for these sponsorships out of their own pocket, allegedly, from your, from your point of view. So they're using the community funds at this point, right? They put it in their pocket and they took it out to pay for the sponsorship. What's the difference?
So why would I-
Hey, guys
... pay out what-
It's Friday. Go ahead. What's up, bro?
Have you guys heard of SPX 6900?
No, what's that?
Who-
No, I never heard of that one.
Well, plug us in.
It's an anti-traditional finance movement.
Are we just gonna ignore-
It-
... what I just said? I feel like I just completely-
No, I hear you, Pat. I hear you
... made you guys look so foolish.
Patrick.
I just made you guys look so stupid.
Patrick.
Oh, yeah.
That's-
Patrick, I, I hear you and I believe you. You know?
It just doesn't make any sense-
I think not
... what you're telling me. If you guys aren't paying for the sponsorships, who the fuck is paying for it? Just think about that. The guy who's-
Okay
... telling you he's paying for it is telling you how he's paying for it, and you're like, "Oh, he just-"
No he isn't
... "stole this money and then he got this other money out of nowhere."
Yo, yo, yo. L- hear that.
Okay, Patrick.
You hearing that?
How about this? Let's say that there's some amount of money that was stolen. Let's say it's 500,000. Let's say that that's not a real number. Just for the, hypothetically speaking. What if every partnership that is posted costs only 1,000, right?
It doesn't.
What if they post... Well, okay, the point I'm trying to make is that it's a hypothetical argument. There's no accountability for the missing funds. We don't know how much is being spent. We don't know what the administrative costs are. We don't know how much has been pocketed. None of this is transparent. The only on-chain evidence we have suggests that there is a premeditated pattern of fraud which indicates that 5G has created four different centralized exchange accounts and systematically funneled the community funds from the so-called community wallet into those centralized exchanges.
Okay, again, the same people you're accusing of taking this money-
Pat, you sound gay, bro
... shut the fuck up, Sauce
How much more of 5G's dick can you get down your throat?
Shut the fuck up, Sauce.
Hold on. But hold on.
Shut the fuck up.
And yo, you-
They took the money from the community wallet and then they're paying out of pocket
... can you mute this guy? Can you mute this-
You gotta put in, you gotta put in-
It's a little bit complicated, all right? I've been listening to your drunk-ass ramble, sucking 5G's dick. It's gay now.
All right, so here's the thing. I just removed Pat from speaker. Pat, you can come up at a separate date, but you're just overpowering the conversation here. Listen, there's vibes. I've heard what you guys have said, and there's, and it sounds like to me that you're just, like, off, going off of vibes and, and, and the partnerships, and that's fine. You, you've made, that's pretty, that's your, you know, what's this you're saying. I like 5G's aura. I believe he's telling the truth. There's paid partnerships. Okay, that's great. But what, what we're trying to say is on, about this topic, and we can move on to something else, is that what we are asking for is accountability and transparency. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, especially when it's coming to, you know, the community. If you care about the community, why wouldn't you c- why wouldn't you want to see transparency? What, why wouldn't you want to s- see, see where the, where the funds have been spent and where they haven't been spent? Why, why not? I don't get it. Why wouldn't you want to see that?
There's also another thing that I want to say. We don't know what those funds have been used for. That is a given. Now, when we asked 5G what happened to those funds, he claimed four different things over a six-month period. The first thing he claimed is that he did not take it. Then he claimed that he took it, but he deserved it. After that, he claimed that he took it and used it for ApU. And then later he claimed that he took it, hasn't used it b- for ApU, but will use it for ApU at some point in a future date. Okay? Those are four diametrically opposed statements which indicate that there is lying going on.
Right. Just logic, critical thinking. I mean, is that so hard to do? I mean, if you want what's best for the community, why wouldn't you just look at, look at these things and ask yourself these questions? We're just asking questions, right? That's all we're doing. All we want is transparency. I, I, and, and then you're, and you're coming up here, and you're, and you're over, and you're talking over everyone, and I get it. Like, I'm all, I'm all for-
It's o- it's okay, Kosher. You, you muted him. It doesn't matter anymore.
I'm all, I'm all for fucking around on the microphone and having a good time and laughing, but when it comes to some serious stuff, can we just have a fucking, just talk about it without it being some bullshit thing, you know? I mean, that's all I want to say on that. It's like, just anyone in a leadership role, you want to be a high council, you want to call yourself high council and, and provide some leadership for a community token, I'm all for that, man, and I will help out as much as I can, you know? But at the same time, all that I want in return is a little bit of transparency. I spent 25 Eth personally on NFTs. That's a lot of money. And I w- and I, I did it 'cause I care about the community and I want to see those, that money go to the, the community, to marketing or to whatever, you know? I thought I'd also have a little bit of say in it as well, I'm not gonna lie, you know? And if I don't, fine. I'm not butthurt about that. But I mean, I, I've always been ve- vehemently against UFC partnerships and fight- fighting partnerships 'cause they don't fucking do anything. What, what has, has the, has the… Let me ask you a question. Does the partnerships with the UFC, have they, have they fucking done anything for the, for the exposure or price of the token? Has it moved as, an inch? I mean, that could be just as much of a failed project as the Well NFTs then you could say. So why is there all this hate against the Well NFT project when 5G's marketing didn't do shit to begin with? And we s- and, and that cost at least 389 Eth. So that's all I want to say about that.
Okay. Uh, so notwithstanding that, you know, that's potentially an argument for a later date, um, that is a little bit, like, above and beyond the actual facts. Like, anyone can say, "Okay, you know, I used this money for this, I used this money for that. You know, I believe that it's, you know, that I w- I used it for is useful for ApU." You know, this is all just, you know, opinions. Um, but you know, if we look at the facts, um- We can, we can essentially see a systematic pattern of fraud. Um, all the evidence suggests that, um, that money was taken. Uh-
We only have-
There's one other thing on here
... we only have speculation unless there's transparency and accountability, and that's all. So why don't we just put this conversation to Rex, right? Why don't they just show us the receipts, and then we have all the evidence, and then no one has to speculate on anything anymore. It's right there. Either he did or he didn't. And, and, and I wanna know everyone in the high council, I mean, did, did they know where the funds are going? Do they know? 'Cause no one wants to answer the q- the question. So did they split it up between each other?
Yeah, this is all speculative.
Well, it's, it's... Of course, like that's why I'm asking the question, right? And not saying-
Yeah
... nope, they split it up against with each other. That's what they did with it. I'm asking it. I'm just... I, I'm, you know, in court that'd be called leading the question. But, you know, maybe we should get Blue on here to to d- since he's the, the lawyer guy. But anyways, I digress. All we're asking for is just some accountability and transparency.
You know, I'm-
There's no
... I'm actually-
Go ahead.
Dude, I'm, I'm so happy that it's finally came to this point. Dude, I was on the same thing two years ago, three years ago when I left Apoo, because 5G and Shroom are shady. They really are. And they used the beef between me and Maxi as part of the little stunts that they were doing. And before, you know, I gave him the benefit of the doubt with the NFT project, I really did, even though we all knew it was shady as hell for the, for everything to happen the way it did, just so conveniently. Uh, you know, we... Yeah, okay, shame on... You fool me once, shame on you, but then they kept fooling us over and over and over again. And once I realized that Shroom and 5G had some weird shit going, using me and Maxi to pit each other against ourselves, having no accountability, like you said, with leadership positions, it's like we're trying to send this coin to billions, but here we are stuck in the weeds with this infighting, and you guys just can't tell Maxi to get out of here or something, or something along the lines of that. We're just gonna keep this infighting going because it generates drama, generates content, and it generates some more cult conversations that they could have in their Telegram and space, not perpetuating any price action just for them to be mad later down the road at Alex when things... Y- you know what I mean? And, and 5G gets away scot-free because everybody's on 5G and they, they think 5G's some cool guy. I've never had a conversation with 5G. It's always been text. I never had a real authentic interaction with 5G. It's always been on inter- on the internet and through text, right?
Right.
So I don't know where these guys get this affirmation. I don't know where they get this, this loyalty to 5G. I don't know where it all comes from, you know? Maybe 'cause they're probably unhappy and they got it at a low market cap, so they're probably like, "Okay, cool, like, I'm winning right now temporarily, so I don't care what's going on. It's not my problem."
Well-
Right?
And, and here's what we need to do, guys, is you need to step outside of this. Walk away, like I said in my video. Walk away for a little bit and then just think about things, right? Just fucking think. What do you see with your two eyes? And then what do you see on-chain evidence? And I see a history of division in the community, of drama. I see missing Ethereum that was supposed to, that was supposed to go for a community project. And you can say, "Well, they paid for these sponsorships and they paid for this." That's great. Show me, show me the, the receipts. S- I wanna see the... And, and then we d- then we can drop it and move on. Isn't that what leadership does? You know? Isn't that what leadership does? Don't they squash drama? Don't they sh- provide accountability? Don't they provide transparency? Don't they lead?
Not if, not if there's monetary gain-
That's, that's-
... on the back end.
What's, what's the incentives, right? What's the real-
Content.
Yeah.
Cult. Cult, cult content. Bonding.
And then-
Bonding over negative trauma.
Right. And then I d- I've never seen a leader of a meme coin before, or a group of, of leaders, unless they were scammers or ruggers, that have pivoted from one coin to another and then used that to, to, uh, give them the views and the, and the impressions toward their new coin. Have you guys-
While attacking a whale from the old coin
... What's a-
Yeah, that's a great point
... what successful project out there you guys can do that? Let me ask you a question. How many ti- how many years have you guys been in the space? I've been here, uh, since the beginning. Since the fucking be- I, you know, Ethereum was $3 a coin. I, I bought into the Ethereum DAO, and then I got hacked and I lost all my fucking Ethereum. So I made a lot of fucking mistakes, right? So, but at the same time, I, I made a lot of money through the, through the DeFi e- aura, era. That was fun. But I'm just saying, in my experience of... I've seen... Go through my timeline of all my posts. I have like 24,000 posts, posts on X if you don't believe me. Go through my history.
I've been in this space since, um, August of 2012.
Yeah, so just about as long as I have. But so I'm-
I've seen every scam you can imagine.
Yeah, exactly. Me too. And I'm, I'm just saying that this follows, this follows along, along the lines of more of those scam... what I've seen with scam behavior than I have with legit project behavior. When there's, when, when people start scapegoating, providing, uh, and, and creating division and drama and, and subverting the topics when you start to ask questions, that's what scammers do.
I know.
That's what they do. And then they sidestep the question-
I won-
... when you ask them
... I wanna ask you. Okay. I'd like to squash this narrative that I'm trying to take over the community or something like that, that I'm trying to be-
I've never once gotten that impression from you, Alex
... Yeah. And you know, obviously if you talk to me, if you actually talk to me like a person, you'll realize that everything that I shitpost online is just a fucking joke from, like, fr- 4chan culture.
Right.
You know? That... Because that's-
Exactly
... how I came into, into the frog.
People say stupid shit on here-
Right
... all the fucking time. But what I can see with, with you is your transparency with your wallets. Ultimately-
Sure
... that's what I'm think- that's what I'm gonna, that's what I'm going to judge you on, is does your actions on chain align with what you, what you say? And that's exactly what I've seen. And on the, on the flip-
Right
... of that, w-when
But here's the thing. I'm not-
I, I've, I've seen-
Let me, let me talk for a second. I'm not trying to blow air up my own ass, okay? I'm just saying, if the actions of a single individual dictate the outcome of a decentralized meme coin, then it's not worth investing in.
Exactly.
Okay? And that's why I don't want any fucking power in this, in this community. Um-
Well, you know, that's, you know, the, you know, what, in my experience, not just in crypto but in business or whatever in life, it's usually the people who don't want the power that are the most deserving of it. And I'm not saying that's what we should give you or anything, you know, 'cause the re- I don't want, I didn't want that responsibility either, you know? But I, I'm, I'm, I'm willing to back someone who does. And, and don't get me wrong, and 5G and the High Council and everything, they did a great job of rallying everyone and, and, and providing leadership at the beginning, and it was great. But, you know, things started to fall apart, and there's some red flags that started to come up, and, you know, in, in the worst times of things, people expose themselves. They either rise-
Sure
... to the occasion, or they expose themselves. So we can go off vibes. We can go off what we, what we see people do on X. We can see the feelgood posts. We can do the funny memes and say the f- say funny shit on X and bullshit, talk about cartons of cigarettes and EBTs, and that's fun and games, and I love it, but at the same time, y- you gotta start having serious conversations, hard conversations, and you need to start asking questions. And when people sidestep those questions and start pointing fingers and scapegoating other people, then that's a red flag.
Yeah. And, you know, ultimately, there really is no, is no point to this finger-blaming. We shouldn't care who the leader of Apu is because all it does-
I don't care who-
... is it makes everyone complacent.
I don't care.
It makes everyone go online and go, you know, "Oh, Dev, do something," you know? This is just retarded.
Right.
Apu is a decentralized meme coin, right?
Right.
We should be contributing to it in our own way, the best way that we can, and we should be able to know how to work together without, you know, being, be- being stolen from or whatever.
And, and that's the thing is at the end of the day, it's fucking gone. And it's-
Yeah
... so it doesn't matter, right? It doesn't matter at this point what can we do to move forward. And so I, you know, and you're saying, "Hey, I'm gonna put up some of my fucking own money, and I'm gonna be matching, you know, buys." And you can, you-
Yeah. I mean, that's, that's what I can do. Um-
Is it, is it the perfect solution? No. But it's a f- it's something, right, to get us started in the right direction. And, and maybe it work-
You know, it-
... it doesn't, but at least you're fucking doing something. So.
Right. And o- one other thing is, that's not really the only thing that I'm doing. Like, I'm trying to dox all these whales, and I'm trying to get them to participate in that, in the community. Um, there are whales out there that are not aligned and th- and th- and they're selling, but you don't know about them.
Mm.
I'm trying to make sure that everyone is known so that everyone has responsibility and accountability. And-
And, and who created this narrative, right? And that, that begs another question. That's what I do. I, I ask questions. Is who created this narrative of the whales are bad? Because if anything, if they don't underst- you have to understand how crypto works. Whales can be good, and whales can be bad. It's not this hierarchy class of plebeians and, and, and whales, right? It's, it's nothing like that. The, the point, the thing that you're trying to do is you're trying to provide transparency into the good whales and the malicious whales, the good w- the good wallets-
Right
... and the malicious wallets. That way, people can see it for themselves. They can see, okay, these guys are selling into the token, and these are the ones that aren't. And the ones that aren't are the ones we can see, and these are good people. So if anything, you guys should be schlopping on the knob of the whales that are transparent because that is a good thing. They're trying to show you that they have no malicious action. And the fact that Alex created this plan is actually pretty smart because a lot of meme coins don't have that. They just have huge wallets that are farming people. So it's a good plan, and I don't get the hate on it. I don't, I think that hate's manufactured, to be honest. That's what I think.
Yeah. Let me explain something to everyone who thinks that 5G is your friend. 5G was my friend for a year, until he wasn't, until I was no longer useful to him, and the same thing is going to happen to you.
That's generally how it-
Thank you
... that's generally how it works. So if anyone has anything else to say, I'll open it up. I didn't want this space to be all about the, you know, the 5G, but, you know, hey, it's on people's minds. You wanna talk about it. I said what I need to say. I'm not gonna, you know, dr- keep repeating the same things over and over again. You guys can, ultimately, at the end of the day, believe what you want to believe. Um, I don't believe anyone on X. I believe what I can see with my two eyes. I believe what's on, I believe if I can see something on chain, if I believe I can ask someone a question, they're upfront and honest with me, and they're transparent with me, that, that, I don't give trust out. Trust is earned, and I will trust you when you answer questions, and you provide some transparency, not just because of good vibes and, "Trust me, bro." Doesn't work with me. But you're, you, you're free to do whatever the fuck you want. Go ahead, uh, Sauce.
Yeah. Well, I wanna thank you for letting me up on the stage. Um, and it's good to talk to you too, Alex. Um, yeah, I'm... So there's a lot to, there's a lot to cover. You know, I was one of the first people, and like you said, I don't, I'd never wanted, like, I don't wanna be one of somber- somebody that's, that has an, an affection to the coin, to the price action, to any of that. I just wanted to be somebody that did the spaces and have fun and perpetuate community with my bros. But it got to a point where it got weird. And like how Alex said, "You're only useful until you're not useful." And my use ran out when they realized that they had... They, not only did they pull the NFT stunt, they could also just keep pulling these stunts with the drama and have this whole cult-like community, 'cause everybody took the cult shit way too far.
Way too serious. Yeah, so-
Way too far.
I mean, it's supposed to be a meme, it's supposed to be funny, not like actual, literally.
But f- you know, and I don't wanna bring it back to the Boogeyman, but he took advantage of subjective minds. He took advantage of spec- of s- you know, speculative price action, showing charts, trust a plan. Um, very manipulative tactics. Not leadership tactics, but very gaslit, very manipulative tactics. Very subversive. And I started kind of pointing that out to him directly. Like, you know, and he, they don't like that. Scammers don't like that. So I did have the, the b- the great Sauce crash out. But what really, what really bugs me is that he has all these cronies, all these goons, and I won't name all their names 'cause they get like little, you know, ego boosts out of it. But it's fun for them. They have like this very s- uh, vindictive personality about them. Most are to the point where they get it on Alex, "Do something. Make price go up. Whales are bad." And those aren't their own thought processes. Those are thought processes instilled by you know who.
Exactly.
The person that's telling them the whales are bad. Why? Because the liquidity's drying up on that particular coin, so they have to make a new one. So there needs to be new, uh, there needs to be new agendas, there needs to be new incentives, and there needs to be that speculative price action again, which they have it again. So I'm glad everybody's starting to realize who the hell that guy is.
Like wake the fuck up.
'Cause I figured that shit out early on.
Wake the-
And wake the fuck up
... wake the fuck up. That's a good, that's a good song by, uh, Kill Army. It's a Wu-Tang, old Wu- Wu-Tang derivative. Wake the fuck up.
Oh, yeah. And you know, Alex, I just wanna apologize to you 'cause I was like acting like a very, you know, uh, you know, cocky fucking idiot on the Telegram telling you like, you know, what I told you about the price and all that, and it's gonna... 'Cause I kinda already knew what was happening with 5G, and I didn't articulate it that well with you, so I do apologize.
I appreciate that. Thank you.
And there's other communities. I... There's other communities that have, uh, commented and DM'd me telling me that they heard, they've heard of, that 5G was shady too. So I mean, it's not just like us in the community that think this. It's kind of an outside opinion too, guys. And I think that there's a, there's a big reason why, uh... I think APU could have hit billions. I really do. And, and, and it-
It really could have
... and it, it still, I think it still will, right? It's just we're set, we're set back a little bit, but we're gonna have to refocus and, and do this and, and refresh our, the people's, um, our, what they think of us. Our, their opinions of us, right? So, uh-
If I, if I may, can I just toss in one more thing real quick?
I verified some Pepe whales back in the day, and I was in their whale chat.
What's up, Sauce?
Oh, uh, I don't know if I have bad reception or not, but I just wanted to point out, do you guys remember in the early stages of all this, the people who doxxed themselves were the ones that... Like, Bellows doxxed themselves for the interview. Grape doxxed themselves for the, the ads. Like, all the prominent early on m- members of the community ended up doxxing themselves while the scammers left. They never did anything.
Yeah. And when you ask them to, for some transparency, like, "Why should I, uh, doxx myself for you?"
Yeah. I, I know, um, one of my friends from even before APU, who I got into APU, he basically said, you know, they're not wor- they're not worried about someone coming to their house and stealing their crypto. They're worried about someone taking retribution against their scamming.
Yeah.
And that's why they don't doxx.
Yep. Exactly. That's what it looks like. But you don't know for sure until they provide their wallets, but they never will. They never will. Instead what they'll do is they'll gaslight, and they'll point fingers at someone else. So, with all that being said, I do think that we have a path to move forward, but first what we need to do is we need to look at the past and we need to talk about it, which we have, and we need to just move on, with or without them, and, uh, you know, get to work on some projects, get to, get the vibes going back. And I, I think that, you know, we can move forward and we will move forward. So, whatever we have to do. You know, maybe they'll move on to another token and that, that'll be their new thing, but... And we can just move on with APU. Uh, I did, I did talk to some Pepe whales a while back when APU was at, like, 100 million, and I said... You know, they said they loved the meme and that they, they, they, a lot of them wanted to in- to buy APU, but the community was too toxic at the time, and it was too risk-averse. And I, and I f- I didn't know what they meant by that at the time, 'cause... A- and now I see it 100%, you know? So take that with a grain of salt, but you will. I did see their wallets and, you know, they were Pepe whales, but... You know, I think that if we, if we change... The ultimate point of that is I think if we change our, our, uh, our image and we show, we manifest the meme of APU, not the fighting, not the toxic bullshit, but, you know, a meme about friendship Um, jokes, in, in a sense, you know. And I think it's more attractive than toxic fighting and gaslighting and calling everyone, you know, slurs. So that's just my opinion.
Yes. I definitely agree, and I would like to reiterate that we should not care who the leader of Apoo is. So Apoo is a decentralized meme coin. That's why I bought it, right? I didn't know of High Council's existence. I didn't know who 5G was. I just saw that Apoo was a relevant cultural meme, and-
Same here
... I believed in the thesis that eventually all of these altcoin baggies are gonna full port into tokenized communities, and I believe that Apoo is the best representation of that. Okay? Right now, we're doing this sort of like incestuous fighting with each other over a 5 million market cap shitter-
Yeah
... which is essentially what we've made it.
Yeah.
Now, no one will remember any of this in a bull market.
Right.
No one will care who the OG was and who wasn't, because let's say that Apoo goes to 100 million market cap from five. Um, I'm not saying that's the top. Let's just say that it gets there. That means that there's gonna be 95% new people in Apoo, and we're gonna be 5% of the, of that community. That's something that everyone has to realize, that we have to make Apoo, the meme coin, palatable to investors. Okay? We should put all this infighting aside and present a unified front, and we absolutely should not be diluting our attention between two competing smart contracts, no matter what it is.
Seems like common sense, right?
Yeah. I'm really glad you had this space, man.
Thank you. I should do it more often. It's fun.
This, this right here, this right here is exactly what this community needs, is this. This type of... Whatever this is, we need more of this.
I agree. And, you know, I think there'll be, there'll be ti- conversations that are fun, there'll be conversations that are hard. There will be conversations that are heated, but ultimately at the end of the day, we're all still here, and, you know, we have a, we, we all w- have a goal in mind, and we can achieve it together, not by fighting each other.
You know how with... Remember how this all started way back in the day? We had all these different crypto niche cliques. R- remember? Like way, way back there was the Link Marines, XRP Army, the Slimes, like, all, like the Bowties. We all kinda came together and that was the strong... We even have a meme about that, and somewhere along the lines we lost that.
That's true. That's a good point.
Let's, let's get it back.
I don't, I don't think anyone really liked the XRP Army, though.
Yeah, yeah. But they were with us.
You know, e- every, every normie friend that I have, that's the f- they still ask me, "Should I buy... When should I buy XRP?"
I'm telling them you should buy APU.
You do know that banks can just create their own stable coin? That's what they're doing, right?
Dude, I had this guy tell me that the United States is gonna absolve all their debt with XRP.
Nice. He's gonna make it. All right, guys. I gotta get going 'cause I have but 30 minutes to get to the movie theater. I got a date tonight. Um-
Uh, are you gonna keep the spaces running or are you gonna-
Yeah
... call it good?
I'm running for you guys and-
Oh. Does that mean everyone gets to talk?
Uh, yeah. I mean, I, I think we make someone else the leader of the or the... Let me see if I can do that. Space. Is it in space settings? Speakers. Every... Should I do everyone or should I just make someone the leader that can control the mic?
You should make Alex the leader just in case someone comes up and starts talking about race or just some st- like just, uh, just, uh, just fucking the whole vibe up.
Yeah. Um, all right. I'm going to invite co-host. So if I invite someone to be the co-host and they are the co-host, um, and I leave, will you guys take over or we'll end the space?
Yo, b- before you, before you leave, I just wanted to make a couple of points of things that you brought up there with like funds and the NFT, Whale NFTs, and UFC events and all that stuff.
Yeah.
The Whale NFTs was objectively a retarded idea, right? Because the NFT collection is already 7,777. What, what drives value is scarcity. So coming up with another NFT collection to, to, to just like flood that is pretty fucking retarded. And if you guys would've actually like brought that to the community that actually buys the NFTs to begin with, then we could've avo- avoided a lot of headache and a lot of problems. You guys just went ahead and did it, and it caused a massive rift. People dumped their bags because of it, created, uh, a vamp because of it, tried to kill our token because of it. So it was objectively fucking retarded, right? Whereas- ... sponsoring UFC events is actually a great idea because it gets us out of our crypto bubble-
Does it, though?
... and exposes... Uh, absolutely it does, because those are massive events with lots of eyes on them that non-crypto normies will watch.
Okay.
And they recognize the frog because it is a cultural icon.
Right. Okay. S-
But before the first event-
Go ahead
... the guy Grape rugged the fucking website because some asshole in here tried to lowball him. So that's another stupid thing And you guys are listening to Sauce, who's a fucking jeet, and all he's doing is sitting here bashing all the people that have put in the work incessantly for the last couple years.
And I'm sorry, who did I bash?
Dude, you... What do you mean? You've been sitting here bashing 5G the whole fucking time.
You're talking about one person.
Yeah.
And, and, and-
I, I feel like-
And, and bashing the, the high council as a whole
I feel like I-
So, like, and those guys aren't even here-
You act like I'm new
... to defend themselves or put in their side of the story
You a- you act like-
You're just saying all kinds of fucking nonsense
... you act like I'm lying and I'm new. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you feel that way.
I'm not saying that you're new, but I'm saying that you're a fucking jeet.
Okay. Why do you say he's a jeet though?
Because you jeeted his bag.
Okay. Have you sold the-
But why?
So there you go.
But why?
Have you s-
Doesn't matter why.
Why?
You're a fucking jeet.
It doesn't matter.
That's all there is to it.
It doesn't, it doesn't matter
You don't even hold the token and you're sitting here fucking bashing.
Fair. Have you sold any APU?
No, I haven't.
Okay.
Bullshit.
Not a single token.
Okay. So another question for you. Can you, can you, can we see, can you, can we see the-
And, and you guys are trying to doxx people. That's another fucked up thing
We're trying to do-
Yo, they doxxed me, first of all. You need to get your facts right, bro. I'm, I, they, they doxxed, they doxxed one of my addresses, okay? And I'm still here on the stage, I'm still talking. They tried-
Yeah, you're here just to bash people
... they, they-
That's the only reason you're here, man
... I'm not here, I'm not here to... First of all, that's a very immature outlook, first of all.
Dude, that's, everybody can hear it.
That's, it's very immature.
Well-
I'm not here just to bash 5G
If Uncle bashed 5G, then I did too. I mean, I'm, we're asking-
Right
... questions. I'm just saying, I, I don't think the leadership has been very good. And I, and I think that there are questions about the F funds that need to be answered. And if there's nothing to hide, then why not just show us? I mean, is, is that, am I wrong for-
Well, Pat made some pretty good points there, and you guys booted him, and then just listened to this fucking jeet
He actually didn't make any points
I didn't boot him, I just-
There we go.
So the community funds got stolen out of the wallet. So if you think that they're paying out of pocket 'cause they stole those funds, you know how disingenuous of an argument that is?
Dude, that's all, it's all part of it, right? Like-
That's not even an answer
Y-
So
... do what, do you think all that's-
Any, any other questions?
Like, Jesus
Did, did the UNF-
That's okay
... events lead to any price action?
Dude, we're in the middle of a fucking bear market, man.
Even-
Everything went down
... they're even doing it in the-
Not just us
... they were even doing it in the bull market, UFC fights. They're-
Yeah. We didn't, we didn't really see much of any price action, honestly. In fact, Gregor might've been the local top-
Dude, the-
... at one point.
I mean, I mean, I think that bec- the whale, it had, it didn't have as bad of effect as the whale because of the division, you're right. I think that-
No, it, it, it was an exciting thing that people actually enjoyed
... I will agree with you about the whale. It was a disaster, the whale NFT.
Yeah, it was. It was objectively fucking stupid.
I agree with you on that. And, uh, I, I disagree about the UFC thing, though. I mean, the, that's not, you know, that's subjective. Some people are gonna say, "Well, it's exposure outside of the crypto."
That, well, that's exactly it, right? It is exposure.
I, I-
And, and fuck it, our boy won the goddamn title too-
Are they gonna be buying crypto?
... so that's pretty cool.
Are they gonna be buying crypto, those guys? Are they gonna be buying APU, really?
I doubt it. They're not.
Dude, I don't know, man. I didn't track the wallets of every single attendee at the, at the, uh, UNF events, right?
Well, you're saying, you're saying these things are big deals, but yet we're not seeing anything to correlate that.
Except for the fact that we've got the most recognizable frog on Earth.
I agree with you on that.
And that's, that's before all of this. So we didn't actually really do anything.
That only adds to it, brother.
So we, so technically your argument is we haven't done anything, we just need to be nice to 5G. All right.
You haven't fucking done anything. Do you even hold the token right now? And you're still fucking talking.
We're talking about something that happened three years ago. We're trying to bring it back. Apparently you're not having-
Bring it back? Then go buy a bag then. Go buy a bag instead of being-
You're not, you're not, you're not trying to have a serious conversation
... instead of fucking crying
You're not a serious person. Nobody's crying. You're not a serious person.
You're not serious. You don't even hold the token, man.
Hey.
So shut the fuck up.
Sure. Sure, buddy.
Actually, can you guys chill for a sec? I, I don't, I think that out of everyone, the, you know, that supports 5G and that's, you know, I think Herb has actually been the most logical and well-mannered person. I mean, that's not saying much, right? You don't have, the competition isn't really high for that. But at least he's bringing up some points that e- that are arguable, right? And, and I agree with some of them, you know. But listen, I, I think the, the whale I- NFT idea was actually not a bad idea. I think it could've been executed better. But the-
No, it, there's nothing about it that's good, dude. Our top NFT holder almost dumped his bag because of it.
Yeah.
And it made people dump-
It's not me
... all of their bags and try to destroy our coin by vamping it.
I guess we-
So there was absolutely nothing good about it.
You-
Why the fuck would a whale wanna buy an NFT that he can't sell?
Yeah.
It's so, it's, it's subjectively stupid.
No, I, hey, you're not wrong. You're not wrong on that. So I, I agree that it was a disastrous idea. Um, I have some pretty good ideas, but then I'm just the idea man, right? The thing about me, so I've proposed a lot of ideas to the community, and I'm willing to work on some of these ideas myself. But what, everything starts as an idea, right? So what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to get other people to partake in the conversation with me about these ideas, 'cause that's how they start, with a conversation. But every time I propose something, I'm either ignored or I'm told to shut the fuck up, just because of that's kind of how our community is. Um, and then I get mocked and ridiculed and say I'm an idea man. But what I really do is I'm, I'm trying to propose things to invite people into conversations with me so we can get the ball rolling and we can start these things. Like, I, I think that honestly the best way to get a, an, uh, attention is to do a Silicon Valley ro- route, and that's create a platform that everyone can use that has no financial incentive, no token, that everyone can just start using. And once it gains adoption and it gets really popular, then we can start saying, "Hey, buy APU," out of just nowhere, right? Just drop it out of nowhere, and you have 50,000, 100,000 followers, because everyone just doesn't even know you're associated with the token. And then you just build anticipation, you build, you build hype, you drip clues here and there. You get some speculation. So, um, I, you know, I have a lot of ideas like that. I wanna start, I wanna start some of these pr- projects. But the thing is, we're a community token, and, um- And I, I don't, I don't wanna do things that may, uh, impact the token without other people's support. So when I, when I talk about ideas, it's just mo- mostly an in- invitation for other people to join me in the community. I just wanna say that as well. That's been... That, that's something that's been bothering me.
Yeah. That's the, that's the power of memetics. But Apu doesn't have a memetic ceiling, which is why it inspires so much creativity with its holders.
And maybe-
Which is kinda why the whole, like, everyone taking the cult shit too serious just seemed very, like, in bad taste.
And maybe-
You know, we're supposed to just be having a good time.
Maybe we might fail on some of these projects, but, you know, the cool thing about doing an anonymous project to start, and then you can see if it fails or not. If it's successful, then you can later add Apu to it, right? But if it fails, no one knows it's, uh, tied to the project. That's something to think about.
Well, the only project should be Apu. There shouldn't be any other project in my opinion.
Well, what, what I'm trying to say is this. Say you had a platform, a marketing platform for a meme coin, just for example, right? This is not saying this is-
It's, it's-
You don't have to-
Sauce, you're sitting there fucking saying that shit, but you've been begging to get into the happy chat. So what the fuck are you talking about? Like, you're a retard, man.
You know, people like this guy-
Why is this guy even talking?
People like this guy are sad.
You don't even hold a token. Shut the fuck up.
Are you... Did you just come here to argue and get your voice heard? Are you actually coming here to actually have a conversation-
No, I came here to counter some of the bullshit-
... like a grown adult
... that you're fucking talking about.
You're just... You're mad because I'm talking bad about 5G. Let's just be honest here.
Dude, you're talking bad about-
We, we get, we get your stance
... about, about all the people that are the fuck-
Listen, we get, we get your stance, okay? Alex is bad because he made the Whale NFTs. 5G is good because you have a very, uh, a- you have a very big crush on him or something. I get it.
Herb, can I ask you a question? Um, you know, do you think that 5G and the high council should provide transparency and accountability for the NFT project funds or no?
Uh, if it's... If, if things are getting spent on community needs, then fantastic.
Do you think we should-
Cool.
Do you think we should be able to-
I don't think any of them should have the docs, and I don't think that some guy who cheated his bag should, should be taken seriously.
Hey, Sauce.
Who's, who's... When he's saying bullshit-
Well, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it
... and he's been begging to get into the other chat of another token.
I haven't, by the way, been begging.
And then now he's sitting here saying that we should only have one token, like-
This feminine-
... you're full of shit
... aggressive attitude, like, just-
Okay
... like, being argumentative and not being argumentative.
Sauce-
It's really old
... can I ask, can I answer one of Curb's questions?
Yeah.
I gotta go meet, like, my date. This bitch isn't gonna fuck me, so um-
Okay, great. You can stay here.
Yeah. No, I did, I did, uh, promise her I would go, but I... This is, is good. This is getting good.
Okay. Let me, uh, let me just clarify. Uh, there is a narrative being spun about me that I low-balled 5G about his domain, and that is why, uh, he redirected the domain apu.com. I would like to tell you that is inaccurate. 5G approached the existing high council team, which included me, and threatened-
Great. That's great
... to redirect the domain unless we paid him $300,000. 5G and I discussed the situation, and we came to a mutual conclusion that we should send him a lower offer. I did not act unilaterally in offering Grape any amount of funds. They were not even my funds to offer because those funds would've come from the treasury wallet, and ultimately 5G had the final say. In fact, it was 5G who sent him that offer.
Which people already knew that... Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. There you go, Curb. Hopefully that, that answers your questions that you had.
I mean, it didn't answer all of his questions. Another situation is I took on a role as director of operation because everyone fucking aged out. No one didn't wanna do any more work except for, you know... I'm not gonna say it was just me, but I was one of the only guys left that was actually doing shit. So once we got the hyper liquid bridge completed, the high council realized that I was a useful member of the team, and they brought me on as a very low-level role called the director of operations. From a business standpoint, it's not even C-level, right? C-suite, as in chief whatever, whatever. I was mostly an ideas guy and the execution guy. We had, you know, multiple stuff that we, you know, came together and discussed, you know, whatever was a good idea, whatever was a bad idea. We came to a mutual, um, understanding, and every time that I came up with an idea, I would tell them, "Listen, guys, I'm not married to this particular idea. If the community doesn't want to approach, doesn't wanna do this, then by all means, let's not do it." And every single time I was met with, "No, no, no, it's a good idea. Let's do it." And of course, in a bull market, every idea sounds fucking great. Everyone expected funds... Uh, the, uh, federal fund rate to drop, but it didn't. It just so happens that the Whale NFTs were launched at the exact moment when the market shifted down, and that's why everyone blames the Whale NFTs for whatever Apu's so-called failure.
No, dude, the, the Whale NFTs aren't blamed for the market going down all around. They're blamed for causing a massive rift within the community where-
... holders dumped their bags and then subsequently created a vamp and tried to fuck us over and caused all kinds of bullshit, which w- subsequently would scare off any new potential investors. And at the same time, top NFT holders wanted to dump all of their NFTs as a result as well. Mainly I'm talking about Moondev. He, uh, he ended up not doing that, but that was a very real concern.
Well, let's talk about why these things happened in the first place.
I think that's cool.
Yeah. Yeah, he is. Either way, like some of this stuff is kind of retarded, and, uh, I don't know why the fuck we're even listening to Sauce.
I don't know. I like Sauce personally. I mean, I, I don't get the hate, but I'm not... Like I said, I haven't been-
He's-
Not a holder
... it's 'cause they're, they're, they're, they told, they've been, they've been told to hate me by 5G for the past three years. They're just like hitting... They're hit, they hit their head over the head. They hit, they got their head hit o- hit over the head with a hammer multiple times.
Do, do you own a bag?
So, like-
Do you own a bag?
They, they don't, they just... He doesn't even know what he's mad at.
Do you have, do you have any tokens?
He's just mad because he's told to... He's, he's mad because he's told to be mad, and that's the whole reason why he's here. He's not here for logical discourse. He's not here to be, like, have an honest, logical conversation.
Oh, I think he's been-
He's here, he's-
I think he's been pretty well-
And okay, s-
I mean-
So the reason why I quote gene in my bag is 'cause there's cause and effect. There's correlation to what these guys do. There's a- there's... So e- and everything wasn't all peaches and cream. You know, some of us have been here longer than others, right? Some of us have been here since day one. Um, I don't think you have, Curb, but I know I have. And I've learned, I've, I've been in special chats with guys. Been in special chats with them, and I've got to know them personally on an, an intimate level throughout those years of, of having the coin. So I don't know where, I don't know, like, I don't even know you, okay? And I don't know why you think you know me. You come up here and you have, like, all this, like you have the, you know, the, the right to talk to me the way you do. I mean, you're entitled to your opinion, right? And that's cool. But what you don't understand is that there's a lot of things that happened prior to the whale NFT drop. The reason why that happened was because there was infighting because of 5G and Shroom and all these other guys having a need to have content to keep the bond together with these guys. That's the problem. So once the infighting was done, we had a mass fallout. Once I sold my bags and everything happened, we had a bad, we had a bad infighting situation after that, which turned the whole entire community into this weird 4chan group chat, we're gonna trauma bond off negativity from now on, essentially. That's where the whole... And that's why the whale... And then they got Alex aboard. They got Alex on board a little bit after that happened because they needed a new source of whatever they needed. So then Alex had these ideas for the whale NFT, and he has a lot of technical analysis. Like, he, the way he describes things makes sense. He was trying to time it with the market, which is very admirable, but sometimes you can't do that, right? So there's, there's a, you know, there's levels to this shit, right? And just because you hear-
Hey, so just in case anyone wants to know-
Just because you hear bad about me for the past two years, like you're in fucking Popcorn space, and he's passed out drunk, and these guys just talk bad about Sauce, you don't know all the other shit that's happened before. You don't know all the steps other people have taken to get to the point where we've gotten, right? You're just told to be hateful, and you're told to think these thoughts.
Yeah, so-
Go ahead, Matt.
I think it would be a little bit more useful to have a productive conversation if we didn't all try to make personal attacks against each other. Like, for example, there's no need to say that someone is a drunk, right? There's no need to say that, um, that someone is a drama queen or something like that. Just, you know, stick to the facts.
If everyone would like to know the real reason that, uh, people don't like Sauce, it's because he freaked out like a little girl and started calling, uh, Shroom's child names. He started talking shit to a literal child and then shitting on all of his friends while we sat in a group chat and discussed how can we bring Sauce back to sanity. We discussed for a week, what are we supposed to do about this guy who is having a mental breakdown because he's our friend, and we wanted him to stop having a fucking-
Yeah. We're not gonna entertain that weird shit.
Yeah, just um-
Alex just said, Alex just said, "Don't personally attack," and now he comes and tries to personally attack me. I don't know. See, I don't know where this, this weird, vindictive, you know, spiteful attitude comes from. I'm sorry you guys don't like me because you're told not to like me. I just... Sorry about that. I'd hate me too if I wasn't you. Oh, and the reason why I was talking shit about Shroom and his kid was because they split the Eth from the community wallet. Him and 5G are in cahoots with each other. And all these other guys, they're totally clueless to what's going on. But yet they bash somebody like Alex, who has good ideas and actually pr- tries to push the needle forward. It blows my mind. These guys have blow ports, and they're telling the fucking whales, "Make number go up."
You know, that's actually a really good point. So there, there is like a, uh, the culture of this token is essentially, um, dictated by the original events. So Grape came in, and he was essentially the finance guy for the high council because he just was spend- spending money willy-nilly. Um, eventually he got- Chewed up and chewed out. Um, but that's beside the point. Now everyone expects whales to, um, finance the, um, token projects, and everyone has their own pet ideas about what they, what they should be. Um, but what you guys gotta realize is that the whales have lost the most money out of everyone. Uh, there should not be an expectation for whales to fund anything. Um, if they do fund something, it's going to be something that, you know, that they come up with because it's their own fucking money, right? No one gets, um, no one gets, uh, the ability to unilaterally decide what others should do with their own money. That's socialist. It's two wolves and a sheep arguing what to have for dinner.
Yeah, but Alex, we're... Uh, and, and again, it goes back to the beginning stages of, of how these people got introduced to the coin. They're, they're being told whales are bad by the high council. "Whales are bad." You know? And then they, they tried... Once they can't facilitate the whale culture, once they realize that there's no money coming to them as they thought they would be getting, it, everything changes. You're not of use anymore. There's no use to the, to, to these guys. And it's, it's a really shitty feeling, you know? I mean, you're, you were cool with them for a year. I was cool with them for a little longer, and it's like, yeah, I thought we actually were decently friends. Like, I thought we were like, um, you know, that we're in this together, but it's only really one-sided, you know? And it's really a cold feeling realizing that, you know, these... At the end of the day, the whole friend ideology, I mean, not that, you know, you take it too serious, but you'd like to think it has some merit, but it, it's all just, it's all just bullshit to these guys, really, you know? And now it is what it is. So I'm, I'm, you know, I'm with it. I'm with the whole APU train. I'm, I'm with the coin. I want this. I wanna see this coin go to billions. We coulda had something great happen before in the past, but due to bad leadership and bad choices made, it just went to shit, and that's fine. That's okay. Uh, it doesn't mean that things can change. Um, so, you know, I, I, I do wanna just let you know that whatever we, whatever I need to do, bro, like, I'm with it, dude. Like, I believe in this coin, and I don't really care about what all these other pagers say. I don't care what anybody thinks. They try to dox me. They try to say I'm this. They try to call me an alcoholic. They try to say that I'm insane. They try to say all these weird, very neg- like, um, just not, not good people, really, frankly. They're not-
So let me, let me interrupt you for a second. I, I just wanna let you know I'm not taking any of this personally. It's no big deal to me. It's water off my back. It really doesn't matter, and it ultimately shouldn't matter to you. Um, if you are upset at something that happens on a screen, just, you know, turn your phone off and, you know, go touch grass. It's really no big deal.
Definitely not, definitely not upset. It's at the point now where I don't have any remorse for the things that I've said to these people, 'cause these people aren't good people.
That-
So when Crib comes up here and starts talking smack about things I did three years ago, yeah, I was... It was justified because these people, they're not good people. I'm, I'm, I'm sitting here investing my money into a coin, and it feels like I'm giving it away to somebody, you know?
I get that.
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sell my bag.
Th- this is, um, something that unfortunately happens. You know, we're in a decentralized community, and not everyone's gonna have the same opinion. Uh, but eventually, you know, scammers run out of money, they move on to other things, and we move on, right? And, you know, that's what we should do here. So let me ask you this question. Um, I'm not trying to say that you're a bad person for selling because you did not agree with the actions of the individuals that were in APU, but let me ask you this. Consider the fact that the best time to make money is when everything seems bearish. Considering this, let's say that we're nearing the end of the bear market. Are you interested in buying APU at this point, or are you waiting for this entire thing to unravel?
No, I, I still have, I still have 330 million APU. I still have APU. I still have coins. And this whole, like, this whole, like, Jeet... I don't care. This is the first time I heard about the Jeet thing. But yeah, I'm still here. I'm still involved. I'm not, I'm not, like, I'm not, like, a immature person. I don't have low T. Like, I'm here to try to make money and, and actually have good logical conversations with you guys, and try to figure out, like, how we can make the coin not a laughing stock of crypto Twitter, have kind of people change their sentiment about APU.
Okay.
That's what's important to me.
Okay. Um, may I ask you, what percentage of your crypto portfolio is in APU?
I'd say about tw- like, 20, 20, 25%.
Okay. Um, let me see what my percentage is. Let's see here. Uh, 99.8%.
Holy shit. Yeah, but I like, I like your thought process, though, betting against the, the financial structure of the United States. It's going to shit.
Yeah. So I mean, obviously APU is-
Yeah
... a small percentage of my net worth at the moment. But in terms of the actual crypto that I own, it's, it's exceedingly high. I basically have just a little bit of dust in some other wallet, and that's it.
Yeah, I love the memetics with the poo. It's literally, it's literally ruthless. You could do so many things with this character. That's why I love it so much.
Yeah.
There's so many things that we can do.
You know-
The IP's there. It's amazing
... I like to say that there's a lot more numbers above a certain market cap than there is below, and that's why-
That's why I-
... that there's, like, an uncapped app upside, right? And if there's an uncapped upside, you should not be begging people to sell to get, um, smaller entries.
Guys, guys, I like that better.
Are you guys, are you guys interested in having a conversation based in reality at any point today?
That's what we're doing. Um, did you wanna contribute, or?
Yeah, I've tried twice, and you've kicked me from the space twice both times that I have.
We're, we're having a conversation, right? What'd you like to contribute?
Uh, yeah, I was trying to. Um, but I'll just, I'll just go back to where I left off before you kicked me again. We were discussing for a good week how we could speak to s- some sense into you to get you to stop crashing out on us.
Really, Pat? We're literally having a conversation, and you're coming here making it the Pat show. Really, bro? All right, I'll unmute you. Go ahead and just say what you wanna say. You wanna say it so bad.
Pat, you gotta click the, uh, mic to talk.
Yeah, I said I was going to pick up where I left off because you kicked me from the space when I was trying to have a real conversation with you. So once again, we talked for a while about how to talk to some sense into you because we liked you. You were our friend. You were the guy who actually got me into the group chat. I actually liked you, and I defended you for a while. I defended you longer than I should have because you were embarrassing me. It was embarrassing to be cool with you, and now you're coming back, and you're acting like we're all bad people. Dude, Shroom was literally saying how close he was to you and saying that he's confused as to how to reply to you because you were bashing his fucking family, going crazy on the timeline over some stupid beef between you and Maxi over what amounts to, what, $20 today?
What amounts, what amounts to $20 today, but since today, how many years ago has that been, Pat?
The, the fact of-
Let's be logical decisions here
... the fact of the matter is it's pocket change. It's nothing, and you guys got into some crazy beef, and then you started taking it out on everybody.
That wasn't even, that wasn't even... Now you don't even know what you're talking about.
Okay.
Okay, cool. All right, well, I appreciate you for coming up. Uh, was that it? Or-
See, now you're acting like a little bitch
... was that it?
Like, why are you acting like such a little bitch?
No, like we're, we're literally-
You wanna talk about low T, and you're all fucking passive-aggressive and shit
... it's not the Pat show. I'm sorry. I'm s... No, dude, it's-- I'm sorry that you think it's the Pat show right now. Unfortunately, it's not the Pat show. We're just trying to have a conversation about ApU. And honestly, Pat, I'm, I'm, you know, I'm sorry that you felt embarrassed, but I'm glad that I got you in the group chat. But at the same time, I don't even know who you are. Like, this is the first time we actually had a voice conversation in who knows how long. So don't try to, like, act like we've known each other 'cause that's weird. All right, bro? So yeah, any-- If you wanna contribute to a conversation like a grown adult, that's what we're trying to do. But look what you did. You fucked it all up. Good job.
Hey, can you stop muting me? Can you stop doing that?
No, it's actually kind of fun. It's actually-- I haven't been a co-host in a while.
Yeah. Yeah, I know. This is super big for you
... but I'm really sincere to try to have a conversation here, but not argue with Pat. No, I'm trying not to argue with Pat. You know what I mean?
I just wanna, I just wanna be consistent.
It's kind of embarrassing.
I want us to be honest. I want the truth to be out there. I don't want you guys to keep, uh, lying like you are because that's all I've heard is bullshit-
About 5G?
... and lies about everything, about all of this that has happened.
About... No, it's just about-
Literally every single thing I've heard all of you guys talk about this whole time has been a lie
... it's about 5G. You're just upset about 5G. That's it. You're just-
Buddy, I don't know 5G
... so you're saying all of the things you've talked about, bro.
I don't know you. I don't know any of these fucking people, okay? I don't know any of you.
But you got paid by them.
I don't know Alex.
You got paid by Shroom.
I don't know Shroom. I don't know Popcorn.
That's why-
I don't know Seek.
So, so then there's no reason for you to be on the stage then because you're not trying to contribute to the conversation is what you're literally telling me right now.
No, I'm actually trying to have a conversation.
Seriously.
You keep getting upset and muting me like a little girl.
I'm not upset, actually.
You're very upset.
I'm trying to have a conversation.
You're crying. You're damn near in tears over there. That's why you keep muting me. You can't handle somebody speaking to you like a man.
So when I-- So when I take-- When I, when I do this, when I, when I, when I do this, when I do that, are you crying now, Pat? Because you wanted to talk like a man and make it the Pat show? Get real, fucking dumbass.
Yo, Sauce.
Seriously.
Sauce, can we, um, can we get Alexander as a co-host as well?
I'm-- I want to, but I can't do that. It's, um, culture. It's culture space. But yeah, we're trying-- I'm trying to have a fucking conversation.
I think Culture is still here.
Bro, I'm not trying to have Pat come in here.
His, uh, his new girlfriend wouldn't have sex with him, so...
Yeah, he left her waiting.
Is, is Culture here? Got him. Uh, let me DM him, see if he's alive.
Yeah, we need you as a co-host, Alex.
Marty. All right.
Yeah, the whole therapy session, that's a weird vibe. Let's not do that. You know? We're grown men. We're not like female Karens in an HR space. We don't need to talk about that shit, you know? Let's talk about the coin and what we can do as a, you know- Let's bring the vibes back
So listen, um, I can be a co-host, but, um, you guys need a... Someone needs to lead the conversation. Um, it's not something that I wanna do. I, I'm willing to answer any questions that, that anyone has, but-
Do we just wanna... I'm in my car. What's up? Do, do do we just wanna end it here and just be like, "Hey, yo, let's, uh... We had a, we had a good talk. Good talk, guys."
No, it's good.
Or do you guys wanna keep talking?
Keep the momentum, yeah.
They want, they want the chat, uh, or rather, they want the Spaces to keep running.
All right, we'll keep it running.
And they want you-
And the show goes on
... they want you to make me co-
Show goes on.
Bird, can you make Alexander a co-host as well?
Hey, can, can you... Yeah, make Alex... Yeah, make... Yeah.
I, I think I can do it now. Accept-
I thought I did.
There we go. Okay. Uh, let's see. This is my first time. Let's see. Maybe Ramza wants to talk about his feet.
I'm more, I'm more of an ankle guy myself. What about cankles? You like cankles?
Uh, yeah, just getting in those folds. Ooh, baby, some butter.
Like folds in a biscuit.
Hells yeah, brother.
Shit.
That's what I'm talking about.
So, um, are people supposed to, like, request to talk and then it pop- pops up on my screen?
Yeah. Yeah, it'll just be like you'll see a thing that says requested, and then from there you can approve the requesters.
Right.
Or you can just make it a free-for-all. But that, I don't, I don't like that method because it gets chaotic pretty quick, and then everyone just leaves.
Right. Okay. Well, anyone who wants to, like, talk, just, uh, push that button and I will, I will push the button when we're ready.
I think next time I host a Spaces, it's gonna be conspiracies only, and we just, like, fucking go off for hours about conspiracies.
Oh, I got a lot of those.
Yeah. Hell yeah.
The world is definitely flat, for sure.
Think so?
Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't think I buy that one.
The fly cameras-
I don't think I buy that one
... they're being used to gather a database on Christians-
Dude
... so they can cut our heads off, 'cause the military has military grade guillotines since 2015.
If you don't think the Earth is flat, just sell your poop.
Uh, shit, but what... I mean, we have images from space that show it's spherical, right? So-
Images that were-
Those are fake
... videos made by the Jews.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
What is a trip is Saturn.
I don't know. I gotta-
When you look at the stars in a telescope they look like water splotches or whatever, but Saturn actually looks like a planet. It's a trip. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Saturn looks like a planet?
Yeah, it's a-
Hey, Culture. I got a, I got a quick question for you.
It's a trip.
What's up?
Are you able to turn down the volume on your mic a little bit? Because it's picking up the road noise.
Oh, it is? You know what? I'm just gonna, I'm gonna mute myself and go watch this movie, and, uh, chill. I, I wanna talk more to you guys, but I'll just do another Space with you guys another time.
All right.
This is my, this is my... I'm in my Type R.
Good for you, man.
You guys hear that? You guys hear the pulls?
Hell yeah.
Just another elitist whale.
Bullish on real life.
Hey, it's just a, it's just a Honda Type R. It's not like a Lambo.
Not yet.
But I did all the work myself. I got... It's, like, I got a stage two kit in it, and I, uh, modded the ECU, has a downpipe, front pipe, uh, air intake, new radiator-
Sorry
... uh, performance radiator, performance, uh, intake, performance, uh-
Very impressive. Can you, uh-
Yeah
... can you share your horsepower-
Feels like 400 horsepower
... on, uh, on your car and, uh, go over it?
Yeah, let's do that.
Yeah.
I feel like that's worthy of everyone's time.
Right.
Okay, guys. Well, it's been real. I'll leave it open for you guys, and I'll talk to you later.
All right. Have a good one.
Drive safe. Enjoy the movie.
All right. So if anyone would like to get on the mic, just push your mic button and I'll approve it.
Um, Alexander, quick question for you, and, um, I only want you to answer on the condition it's not going to stir up a whole bunch of unnecessary drama. Um, at this point, what are your uninhibited thoughts and opinions on Happy?
Hmm. How do I say this without, um, stirring up drama? Okay. Uh, I actually have a technical analysis on Happy, and it's, it's completely outside the realm of any particular opinion. I can share my thoughts about that. I just have to pull up my notes.
While he's gathering those, um, Sauce, good to hear from you again. It's, um, it's been quite some time. I hope you're doing well.
Yeah, it's been a long time. Been a couple years. Nah, man, I'm good, bro. I'm good.
Oh, yeah. Are you, uh-
Hope you're, hope you're doing good too.
What are you up to nowadays?
Oh, I got, I got a little bit of Happy. I got some Apoo. I'm still in the market. Um, yeah, dude, just dealing with real life on the side. Just fucking try- still trying to make it, bro. Obviously, I don't have enough money. I'm still here, so, you know. Um, oh, I w- dealing with, uh, two-factor auth- authific- uh, authentication requests. Uh, you know, just shit that happens when you get doxxed by, you know, people who you thought were your friends. Just all the fun stuff, bro.
I heard some, uh, bits and pieces about that earlier. I hope that, um, the drama diminishes-
Yeah, they, they, uh-
... outside of the coin
... I, I was trying to build, trying to build lore for the fucking coin, bro. And, uh, I was talking to Lamour, and fucking, uh, just, you know, she ended up leaking my number. And then once they got it, bro, they went crazy insane with it, and they made, like, all these alt accounts, they team... They tried to, like, make me feel weird. They tried to say I lived in a park, all things to kind of me, and try to shoo me away from the, from the whole entire community. It's just, like, so whack. It's so low energy. It's so... And if... Like, I want, I want-
Okay, I have, uh-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're good
... I have my Happy notes. So this is notwithstanding any personalities involved or anything like that. This is a sim- this is simply the, uh, objective problems with the Happy launch, and I can go over them. There's like six of them. So number one, uh, they didn't use the Happy merchant image itself, but instead two yellow hands. So anyone looking to invest in the culturally relevant meme of the Happy merchant will not understand that this meme represents it. So essentially, if you have to educate your buyers what your meme actually is, you artificially cap your upside. Number two, uh, the ticker is Happy instead of something that actually makes sense in the context of the meme itself, like merchant. And so this is a limitation of the actual Pumpfun, um, launchpad because it only allows six characters. Which brings me to my other points. So in order to break out of the Pumpfun casino, you need support from Pumpfun itself, the company, and they'll never list this meme on their platform because the owner of Pumpfun is Jewish, so its potential is capped forever. Uh, number four, launching on Pumpfun artificially caps whatever support you could have gotten from the Apoo community because everyone remembers that 5G has been shitting on Solana and bull posting about Ethereum for two fucking years. So you would have to be brain dead to alleviate that cognitive dissonance. Number five, there is already a Happy ticker on Solana for Happy the Dancing Cat, and this artificially caps your ability to attract buyers because they'll simply buy the older ticker instead of yours. And, uh, number six, the Happy chart has essentially been raped by bots. $130,000 of liquidity has already been extracted from everyone that has invested in it, and the reason this happened is because it's essentially, um, a soft game. So, like, when you launch on Pumpfun, there are these bots that expertly acquire 80% of the tokens by tracking the prevalence of coordinated team buying and injecting their orders in between them, resulting in an automated system that steals liquidity from every potential future pump for a near, uh, zero cost basis. And, uh, which brings me to point number seven, um, the culture of Solana relies exclusively on, um, platforms like Bubble Maps to figure out whether or not they wanna invest. And the problem with, the problem with this launch is that Popcorn essentially wasn't careful, and he bundled 30% of the supply, which is visible on Bubble Maps for everyone to see. As a result, no one's gonna fucking invest in it, and it's all just gonna be cycling their own money because they're gonna look at Bubble Maps and see, "Okay, this, this shit is bundled to fuck." You know? And they're just not gonna buy. And those are my-
That was great
... opinions about the launch.
That was fucking awesome.
Uh, thorough analysis that exceeded all expectations. Can't say I agree with every one to a fault, but nicely done.
I thought about the whole Pump thing too, with the owner being Jewish, never listing that one. Zero good points as well. Yeah, man. They're gonna... That was good. Good stuff. Yeah, not to mention they're on the timeline begging people like Froth to get his community in on it. It's so whack, bro. It's so whack.
There is a final point, and it speaks to the, the competency of the, of the deployer. So the problem-- There's a existential problem with Happy, and that is, is that its liquidity expressed as a ratio, uh, liquidity to market cap is lower than 10%. So what this means is that it's really easy to pump, but it's also exceedingly easy to dump. Um- The first, uh, like couple of big coals that they gave out supply to, the first time they, you know, they, they dump their tokens for free, they're essentially going to take all of the liquidity that's available and, uh, and the chart will come crashing down.
So I am by no means a, um, chart reader, technical analysis guy, um, as is a subset of the holders for any given project. Um, any insights on the chronology here? Um, w- when do you predict that happening?
Well, we, you know, for Happy to survive, uh, we essentially need a continued and sustained bull run, and, uh, if we start retracing, if the big caps start retracing even 3 or 4%, um, the remaining, um, bots that are in- invested in the coin, uh, are going to sell their token, which is 6.5%. So the bots still own about 6.5%, which represents about 70% of the available liquidity. So essentially, uh, it's not a timeframe type of thing. It's more like you have to watch the big caps and, uh, if they start retracing, that's gonna be reflected in Happy's chart as well, and this is all going to be automated.
Say, um, rather sharp analysis, Alexander. Thanks for that this afternoon.
Yeah, thanks. No problem.
Yeah, I wish, I wish everybody makes money off it, but it doesn't seem like it's that viable. Not at all. How do you go about, how do you go about when you, when you look at these things, Alex? How do you go about it usually? How long you been doing that for?
You know, I came into this, uh, into this ecosystem, I guess you could call it, knowing absolutely nothing, and I just learned from the people who did things better than me. And, you know, unfortunately, a lot of those people have aged out and are now gone, and I'm one of the few people that are still left, you know, kinda like picking up the pieces of what they used to do.
'Cause I don't hear too many people talk about, like, the, the k- type of paradigm you have and how you f- how you view the market and timing it. Not too many people talk in these regards, at least not the people that I've listened to or talked to on Spaces as of recently. So it's somewhat like a, it's like a fresh take almost to hear someone, like, from how you explain it, you know? It's almost like a breath of fresh air almost, kinda like re- revives the whole spirit, you know? It kinda gives me that whole speculative aspect again with a kinda say, "Oh, we can take this thing," you know? That's, that's, that's what, that's what we need, man, and that's, that's, that's the vibe, honestly.
Well, you know, I appreciate-
I d-
... the compliment, but I wanna say I'm not, like, an expert in any of these fields. There are people that are doing this that are a whole lot better than me. It just so happens that I'm a prominent member of this community, and I like to participate in it. Um, there-- The people that are doing these sorts of analyses, they're quite hidden. You know, they're not really interested in participating in the community. They're just, you know... They have a shorter time preference than me and, you know, they're mostly in it for the money.
Yeah. Learn... A lot of people need... then held in space, so makes sense why there's... When people are told to see-- think cer- certain things, they think that that's like the breadwinning thought process. You know, they don't need to have the results. It's just, you know, "Oh, this guy that I follow on Twitter is saying this, so I need to just follow along with it," whether it's the price of Bitcoin, some meme coin, whatever it is. People don't actually like, for ins- You're, uh, you're... Take it as a compliment if you want, but people don't take the time to actually figure out who they are as an investor, you know? So that's, that's... It's a breath of fresh air to actually hear somebody talk about things on like, not just a, a, you know, like a macro level, but, you know, just overall, you know. And you can't time the market, but, you know, just at least that, that thought process is there, which is important. It's not just, you know, "Here's a chart," and you're gonna circle something on the chart, and then, "One day, guys." You know what I mean?
Mm. Sure.
That's what a lot of these guys do. A lot of these guys do that shit. It's a lot of hope, yeah.
Yeah. I mean, pictures with, with arrows is, you know, drives a lot of narratives. But I heard, uh, an interesting perspective, and that is you can essentially take whatever chart you want and have it say whatever the fuck you want. You, you have a preexisting, you know, opinion about something that might happen, and then you can figure out a way to make a chart support that, zooming in, zooming out, drawing different arrows.
Do you, um... So do you believe in the four-year cycles?
You know, I do. I, I can't really dismiss the fact that they've existed for the last however long
You don't think they get drawn out longer, like the timeframe gets drawn out longer?
There are people that think that, and these people are better at making money than, than I am. Uh, they're mostly focused on, like, high caps, and when I say high caps, I mean something that's over a billion market cap.
Got it. Got it. Yeah. I, I'm not, I'm not one of those people that wants to hear a game plan for Apu, honestly. I already kinda know where it's gonna go. Ethereum's gonna hit 10K, and then Flow's just gonna fall into it. But then if you have this idea of kind of positioning yourself and then presenting it to other people, I think that would help out as well too.
Sure. But I don't want people to mistake w- my actions for, like, some sort of unilateral decision-making. I'm just telling you guys what I personally am going to do. It's not like I came into Apu with a bunch of secret fucking whales and, you know, I'm farming the chart. You know, I bought everything with my own money, and every, every ounce of support I have in this community is just one person after another that I've managed to convince of my particular perspective, right?
You rep- Yeah, well you-
I'm of the opinion... Sorry, go ahead.
My bad. I was gonna say, you represent authenticity.
Well, you know, that's fine. Um, but you know, ultimately my point is, is that we should not invest in Apu if we think that it has a leader. Uh, it should be decentralized. Otherwise, it kind of defeats the value proposition.
That was the thought process in the beginning.
Yeah.
And somewhere along the lines, I don't know if money got involved or the High Council, whatever, but eventually it turned into there's a leader now.
Yeah. And a lot of people are really up my ass about this whole thing, because think about it like this. I don't have access to, uh, the funds. I don't have access to the website. I don't have access to the socials. I don't have access to anything. The only thing I have access to is, like, a Telegram group that I made and that I talk in, really. If people wanna listen to me, that's fine. If not, you know, they can do whatever they want.
But they hold stock in you because they know that you're a whale. That's the thing. You h- you kinda have the authenticity, so people don't have to question, "Is Alex a whale?" They know you're a whale because that's how they wanted you to present... Like, I don't know if you wanted to present yourself that way. I don't, I don't... It doesn't sound like you wanted to initially, but it sounds like it kinda just came to be that way. Like, "Oh, hey, Alex is a big whale," you know? And then... Am I reading that right? 'Cause that s- kinda seems like that's what happened. That's why people kinda have the attitude.
So I'd like to explain why the whole whale presentation occurred in the first place. So for better or for worse, people listen to the big players in this space, and they copy trade them. The purpose of, like, creating this sort of narrative that big whales are in Apu is so that the market sees that there is a significant amount of money in our particular ecosystem. And liquidity attracts liquidity. The whale narrative was never meant to be some sort of elitist, um, dictatorial, classist perspective. It was simply meant to attract liquidity. And I'm of the opinion that anyone that believes that I'm trying to present myself as some sort of rich fuck is projecting their own insecurities on the matter.
Yeah.
No one has ever said that someone is less valuable because they hold fewer tokens. Absolutely everyone's work is appreciated.
Absolutely. That's how charts get formed. I definitely agree with that. So yeah, you didn't, you didn't wanna be known as the whale, but somewhere along the lines it just came to be part of the, the, I guess, the, the culture, I guess, because yeah, we wanted to attract liquidity. But this time I've, I've already been gone at that point. But the game plan was, all right, we need to attract liquidity, but then s- it just got overcondo- uh, there's over, over-con-diluted with the whole whale narrative. So-
Well, let me, let me present this to you in this way. So after h- after Jim had left, you know, the remaining High Council members created a new chat. You know, they said, "You know, our chart's falling. You know, what, what, what else can we do? Like, you know, there are these holders involved and they have, they have opinions, right? You know, maybe we should try it." So they got me and another big whale in a, in a group chat, and then eventually, you know, I got assigned more responsibility, and one of my proposals was essentially this: um, let's figure out who all of the top holders are so that we can finally put this narrative to rest that there are secret whales in Apu that are farming the chart. So I proposed this. You know, I had people in Apu that were constantly watching wallets and all this stuff, and I started asking them, you know, who's who, you know. Created a chat with, with these people so that they could have, like, unity and cohesion because my- Expectation was that if we put all of these whales together and build a chat for them where they can express, you know, their opinions with each other and, and build camaraderie, they're not gonna FUD... They're not gonna silo and FUD themselves out of the token, but rather hold themselves together and create like this diamond hand support for the chart. And, you know, that's, that's pretty much what happened. You know, the chart doesn't reflect this because there was 100 billion tokens that were sold, that were sold by people that were not in our, in our chat, right? Over the last year, we've consistently had over like 80 billion tokens there. Uh, you know, that number didn't change. We keep finding new ones. The, the ones that, the ones that are there keep buying. You know, certainly there are some that sell, but they sell at a much slower pace than everyone else. And here's my point. This was considered a good idea by the High Council. If it wasn't, it would never have happened.
I mean, I could see that 'cause they wanted me to dox my wallet, and I didn't wanna do that.
Yeah. And I do know, I do know some whales that are... Let's see. I call them other Apu whales. Uh, let's see here. There's 31 billion of Apu represented by other Apu whales. These are whales that I know about that don't wanna get doxed. They don't wanna be in the whale chat for whatever reason, but they're part of the community. They love the frog, you know, that sort of thing. And there's another list of about 41 billion tokens of secret whales that have never disclosed themselves that I don't know about. I simply know about them because their wallets exist, and these are the guys that are consistently selling and dumping. And, uh, the goal here is if it- is essentially to get them to run out of tokens and get our side holding the most, essentially buying them up, so that once a parabolic move does come, it's not raped to shit by them like it has before.
By... My question is, is it them or is it just one person? That's, that's kinda like-
Well, I don't know
... yeah, I... A little conspiratorial there.
Yeah. I mean, honestly, I think there, there is some overlap. You know, single entities do own multiple wallets and, you know, I know this for a fact, but it doesn't mean that the entire unknown, uh, supply is owned by a single person.
Right. That'd be a little ridiculous, but yeah, there's definitely somebody, there's somebody out there who's pitching and catching more, more, more Apu than they should, doesn't wanna let it be known, not necessarily on a, on a, on a bad acting level.
Right. I mean, we don't need a conspiracy for this. It's just like, you know, we wanna make Apu something special. We don't want it to be just like whatever token, right? So to that extent, we wanna be able to create a, a culture of organic supply control, and the only way to do that is to buy up the existing supply. There really is no other way. It's not like we can blacklist wallets. We literally have to, you know, use the money that we have to, to buy everything that everyone else is selling, which is exactly what we've been doing.
Yeah. And I think it's healthy. I do. I think it's healthy price action. I think it's health- healthy movement. I think it's healthy growth pains. Um, kind of viewing smart contracts with a different paradigm, especially the Ethereum ones with more of a longer term thought process. The crypto bubble, I think, is just a very, very, you know... It, it's a very immediate thing. There's a lot of instant gratification that comes with this. So as you mentioned pr- pr- previously in this conversation, like when this coin, when everything's all said and done, moments like this, no one's gonna remember.
Yeah.
You know, and also just like, just looking at the chart, looking at the everything else that's gonna play into it, Ethereum and all that, um, the meme's not gonna die. It's gonna be around. People are gonna come and go, which they have and they will. But as long as there's still strength and as long as there's still people that are there that represent the coin and the community and the frog, that's what's important. I mean, look at Ticker Bitcoin, right? These, these guys are... They just don't stop, you know. That's, that's Apu too. There's still people in Apu who won't stop. They love the frog. They still, they still buy it, and they're not concerning themselves with the drama. They're not concerning themselves with the what-ifs, uh, 'cause it doesn't, that doesn't matter. You know? So-
Right
... like you mentioned before as well, taking a break, going outside. Don't let this shit get to you.
Yeah. You know, ultimately no one is entitled for, to anyone else's work. If you feel like you have had enough for a particular day or week or month or whatever, you can take off as much time as you want.
Yeah. And that's the thing is... You know, but when you're introduced to something as like a cult, you have to show up every day, you know? And that's not, that's not the way, that's not the way you make money in this space, unfortunately. That's how you make scammers money, but that's not how you make yourself money, which is the whole reason why I think most of us are here.
Well, sure. I mean, there is something to be said about the fact that, you know, if you're, if you've been doing something for two years and it obviously hasn't been working, you know, obviously you probably should revisit that and, you know, figure out whether or not what you're doing is actually beneficial.
To-totally. Totally. If you're doing something for two years and you're not seeing anything in return, you might, you might have bigger problems than just like crypto, you know?
Right. And you know what? The same thing can be said about me. If I'm doing something that isn't getting results for two years, then, you know, certainly that is a legitimate grievance, but that's my own personal problem. You know, I'm the one who is in charge of the amount of money and time that I put into this project, and no one else is.
Well, it's-
If this is what I wanna... Yeah, go ahead.
It's a paradigm. That's... You just see it differently. That's all it is. Someone, someone argued that's a sunk cost fallacy, but no, it's building a business. It's building s- not a brand, but it's you're investing into something, a vision. So whatever it is, however you see it, that's what you're in-investing your time into.
Right. You know, personally, I think I'm right. That's why I continue to do the work that I'm doing. Uh, if someone disagrees, they're welcome to disagree. But you have to realize, ultimately, I don't have any power in this space. You know, everything that I do is my own personal responsibility.
Yeah, but people like you and me, for some reason, we affect other people in this community, like greatly. Like you more so 'cause you're the way you are and how you are. You know, I... My, my thing's... My shit's all past tense. You know, my shit's water the bridge at the moment. But it... These people, some people just get affected and they can't move past it. They can't grow. They can't remember the actual end game. They keep moving the field goal, keep moving the post, and they kind of just lose track of what they're even doing in this market, you know? I mean, me too, two years doing the same thing. I mean, I've been there and done that. I mean, no one's perfect, and this is besides crypto. But it comes down to how serious you are as a person. Do you really see value? Do you really see this going somewhere? 'Cause I honestly see APU somewhere in the future higher than where it's at now.
Well, I, I think everyone thinks that.
They better. Well, everyone thinks that, but what are they doing about it?
Well, even, even if you are showing up every day and rating, and I hold the opinion that that is not useful, that doesn't mean that you're a bad person, right? You can do whatever you want. The whole idea of a permissionless system is that you are ultimately responsible for your own, the, for your own, like, time and money that you put into the project.
Yeah. It's basically the ticket you pay to get into Disneyland. You're not gonna let buying the ticket ruin your whole experience, but you understand that's the price of admission.
Yeah. Well, in any case, um, I think for this particular topic, I think we've, we've sort of covered it. Um, does anyone else want the mic?
Yeah. We've pretty much covered much. I had a lot of questions. I feel like I got a lot of insight actually with the space. Unfortunately, I think most people are dra- like they're, they're tuned away from APU now, honestly. I think the damage has been done with 5G and their whole happy coin. I think they've just done so much damage, bro. It's, it's gonna be tough to-
Honestly, I don't, I don't think it matters. Um, if I'm right-
Oh, yeah
... then this whole crypto Twitter stuff, it doesn't really matter right now. I know a lot of people are like, you know, very deep in the weeds about it, but sentiment changes quickly. And pretty much all Eth memes are in the shitter right now. And 5G was not involved in those other projects, and neither was I. Uh, this is all macro-driven, and sentiment comes back, um, once macro returns or once macro is more favorable to, to our existence. None of this shit will matter in the future, and people need to like put their egos aside and, um, realize that it's not that fucking serious.
I definitely agree. We're not all celebrities. Nobody knows who we are outside this app. What's up, Don?
What's up? And then you, and then Alex are p- uh, bull posting, is not doing anything. All right. So I bull post and I DCA every day. I wanna know, what other frogs are DCAing every day? DCAing, Alex, is good, no?
So DCAing is good. Yeah.
Yeah. That's what I do though. All right.
Ultimately, we want supply and control of people who have a longer time horizon than everyone else, and anyone in this community who's buying APU will help it in the future.
Oh, fuck. Yeah, honestly, these are good levels. This-- I've never seen Apoo this low since I originally got in. It's a little higher obviously, but it looks good.
Yeah. And one other thing I wanna mention is, like, I know this is a very Redditor term, but correlation isn't implying causation in this case. Just because happy launch doesn't mean that, um, that's the reason our chart looks the way that it does.
Absolutely not.
Happy is not the issue.
Yeah. It's not. Happy is, happy is gonna-
I'm not-
... it's gonna fizzle out. I keep interrupting you. My bad, bro.
No, it's okay. Um, I do tend to talk too long. But in any case, um, uh, you'll never hear me say that happy is the reason that Apoo failed because it doesn't matter. Like, I can't hold two positions at once. I can't say rating doesn't matter and rating matters, but only for happy. No, that's not how that works.
I think rating does absolutely nothing. Rating is a old... It's a lost art. It's old. It's outdated itself a long time ago. Nobody, nobody, nobody does that.
I didn't hear what you were saying that... Yeah. And I understand how difficult of a concept it must be to grasp if you spent the last two years of your life rating and, you know, someone's coming in and telling you that it doesn't matter. But unfortunately, the truth doesn't change no matter who says it. You know, this is self-evident.
As a, as a self-proclaimed rater and loremaster, and put many hours into shilling the coin, hosting spaces, and all that good shit, very rarely did we actually see decent price action during those spaces, during the rating. Most of the time it was just p- cell pressure, honestly, which kind of fucks you up, like especially-
Sure. And here's the thing, like-
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry, go ahead.
No, I was just gonna say, like, if you're, if you're heavily invested like I was, and you're running a space, and you have money into it, and you're buying, you just get done hosting a six-hour space. Everything's cool. You check the chart, but then you're down 10% and you're like, "What the fuck?" That shit sucks, but then you do it the next day.
Right. And, uh, here's an example. Like, there was this Korean pop star that posted Apoo and had 3 million followers and million plus whatever likes. And it happened at an inopportune time for macro, and it didn't do shit. But if it were... If it would've happened when real rates were at zero, it would've pumped our chart by 2X. You know, that's the kind of thing that we're talking about here. So rating matters when it happens at the right time, but you can't attract liquidity because it doesn't exist if you keep rating when money isn't cheap and it's impossible for macro to go risk on.
Uh, I mean, there's been times rating does p- pan out. Don't get me wrong. It's not, it's not black pill negative all the time. I mean, there's moments where rating hits, and, and in fact, in my opinion, I think Apoo actually almost pioneered a lot of the, the tactics that you see people take nowadays in terms of rating. You know, we pioneered a lot that most communities do to this day still. You know, aside from just bomb the medics with the, the songs, the way we went about rating spaces, the type of people we would target rating spaces, it was all very... It, it was very intelligent process that we had back then. But it didn't really yield-
I, I agree.
Yeah, it didn't really yield the results you'd expect it to. But we can't... You can't bank on that.
Yeah. So... Right. Like, the game has changed. The year... The, the ecosystem is not the same as it was two and a half years ago. Yeah.
Yeah, okay. Because, uh, my internet just showed an error.
So let me propose a particular thesis. I think because AI is so prevalent and bots are so prevalent, and AI is able to make pretty good art in a style that's basically indistinguishable from human artwork, there really isn't that much upside left for projects that rely exclusively on artwork and rating to promote themselves. It's very likely that whatever next big thing for successful midcoin-- meme coins is whatever can demonstrate a provable human element as the antithesis to the dead internet theory. What I mean by that is, there's a lot of noise on CT right now, and if you're indistinguishable from a bot that rates by saying, "Apoo up only," or posts a picture of a frog, your buyers are not gonna be able to tell you from, like, a bot from a scam. So you have to put a little bit more work into your posts, a little bit more thought that actually sounds like a person that's fucking talking in order to prove to the rest of CT that you're an actual, real person that's invested in a real token.
Consistently and not switch up while interacting and being transparent. It's a finesse. There's an art to it. Definitely there's a definitely an art to it. No one cares right now 'cause the price action isn't really the best, which don't blame them. But, you know, and then it also, it takes very, very little to kind of ruin the reputation you have on CT as well, which is why people who shill the same coin for years on end, like those are very... You have to give nothing but respect to those type of people 'cause that's fucking conviction, and everybody likes to throw that word around, but they don't actually mean it. So that's right there. That will, that, that can make you stand out alone, is if you're fucking posting the same thing nonstop while you have a niche group of mutuals that you interact with. Don't see them as exit liquidity. Don't see them as potential new buyers for a coin that you just made. Just keep it mutual. I don't think people realize how far that can go in this space. You know? And the same time, that can be-
Yeah
... easily taken advantage of.
No, I agree.
How'd you originally get into Apoo, Alex? This is like the first time I've ever talked to you.
So this was around the time when 4chan essentially banned all of Apoo posting, and we had to migrate to different boards. And I essentially, I came across a post that mirrored an experience that I had with altcoins, and that is like, I believed in my particular altcoin. I was an altcoin baggie for six years. I believed in the tech, in the value of the tech, and then I eventually realized that tech itself is a meme. Uh, no one cares how fast your chain is, and that meme coins themselves are essentially the, the final frontier of the entire crypto ecosystem. So essentially, the post had mentioned, that I found, was that crypto markets w- that essentially meme coins were crypto markets in their most purest form. And when I came across that post, I realized, "You know what? You're absolutely fucking right." Um, and that's, that essentially led me down the path of selling the bags that I was holding for six years and buying Apoo with them. So I b- I bought the token. I started looking around. You know, I started trying to participate in the community. I'm like, "Okay, well..." I go on DexScreener, and I load up the Telegram, and I see that, um, all it is is just like buy bot spam. You can't hold a conversation. So I'm like... I was 38 years old at the time, and this was like completely, you know, new to me. You know, I expected to go online, have a conversation, be able to talk to people, be able to chat with people, and, um, I couldn't do that in the Telegram, right? So I'm like, "Okay, well, let me just create a new chat where there's no buy bot that's constantly spamming." And I ended up doing that, and there was like very few people. It was Apoocomfy chat. Uh, the entire purpose of that chat was simply to be able to hold a conversation without being interrupted by the buy bot. So I started inviting people from 4chan that I knew. I posted the link on 4chan. Uh, got a little gr- you know, got a few people together that I knew from an existing community and said, "Hey, you know, this coin is ripping. Let's buy it." You know, that sort of thing. And then I posted the link in the of- official Apoo Telegram, and it was immediately deleted, and I got banned. And I'm like, "Well, okay, what the fuck's going on? Um, I didn't do anything." So, um, I try to like message people and, you know, try to figure out why I was banned, and it says, "Well, it looks like you were banned for posting, um, a link to a, to another chat." And I said, "But that, you know, this is an Apoo chat. You know, why can't I invite people from the existing token or, like, from the existing, uh, Telegram into, into this chat that doesn't have the buy bot?" Um, and they're like, "Okay, well, this is the official Telegram chat," or whatever. And, and I'm like, "All right. Well, I'll just, I'll just, whatever, keep to myself with the people that are, that are there, and we'll talk about whatever." And then, um... Actually, I'm gonna cut that story short. So the, uh, that was the, that was how I got into Apoo.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I got in ground level day one back when all the-
Yeah, I got in a... Yeah. I got in about a week after Palladius had rugged the token.
Oh, wow. Nice. Okay. Yeah, so you've... Yeah. Okay. You've been, you've been through the whole shebang, so.
Yeah.
So you never wanted to be known as a whale.
Well, there was, there was some problems. You know, I, I came from 4chan, the 4chan culture, and I, I believed in the pure spirit of Apoo in the sense that it had a, it had its, a certain, like, element to it that was being whitewashed by- The team that was running it. And I didn't have any idea who these people were. I essentially saw that they were turning Apoo into a meme coin that's palatable to the turbo normie, for lack of a better word. And this was very upsetting to me because I got into Apoo for a specific reason, you know. And they were essentially ripping the soul out of the token-
Yeah
... for whatever perceived reason that they might have. Like, it, it, it was essentially killing it for some, like, particular reason. Maybe it was, "Oh, you know, exchanges won't list it if it's associated with Pepe," or, you know, this ex- like, "We wouldn't be able to attract a particular buyer if Apoo wasn't whitewashed," and all this sort of thing. And this essentially created a schism between the people who believed in, uh, Apoo in his purest form and a whitewashed version of Apoo. And essentially it cul- culminated into this really big civil war between the existing, um, uh, essentially the people that were running the token and the, the buyers of Apoo who came from 4chan.
This makes sense.
Yeah.
That makes sense. Yeah. 'Cause dealing with some of the community members for, for as long as I have, you do get, you do, you do get the, the 4chan vibes off them. You do. Um, and I, I don't know what that means to other people. It, I guess it's just a term I made up in my own head to kinda make sense of things, personality, um, like personality traits.
Yeah. Like, I, I can't really put, like, a perspective on it, but, I mean, I, I, I can't put a, a name to the feeling of being, like, from 4chan or something like that, but basically it's sa- it's being able to say nigger online unapologetically without worrying that someone's gonna, like, copy paste your screenshot and send it somewhere and make you look bad, right? You, you're able to express your thoughts, uh, you know, you, you have a certain, like, freedom associated with it. And this was very, like, compelling to the 4chan investors because they came from this society where essentially, like this is after COVID and, you know, society was going to, like, fucking shit and, you know, they, they wanted some sort of bastion of freedom, uh, where they could, you know, say what they wanted on the internet, you know, do whatever they wanted without having to worry about looking bad to someone else. So when Apoo started getting whitewashed, it was very disheartening because they believed that they invested in something that they have, like, freedom from the rest of the world. And if that symbol of that freedom is being corrupted to make a quick buck, it really depresses you.
You know, with what you just said, I kind of feel bad because honestly, Alex, I feel like I might have contributed to the whitewashing of Apoo, man. I do. I feel bad. I, 'cause I made AI, I made AI songs. I don't know if that's what you mean about whitewashing it.
Mm.
But I made the songs. I made my own stupid memes. I mean, I'm not too sure if that's like the realm of whitewashing you're getting at, but...
No, I'm not saying that. Like-
Okay
... I actually like the music and I like the memes that are made. I, I'm not even particularly worried about, you know, what, what memes someone make. But this whole, like, push to make Apoo, um, like a DEI project, um, was v- was very just disheartening. You know, this like, "Oh, we're not associated with Pepe, and Apoo is i- inclusive, and he's the friendly frog, and, like, no matter, no matter how many mental illnesses you have that make you think that you're a woman when you're actually not, you know, it's okay, you know, come to our community, you know. We're not associated with the alt-right and all this bullshit, you know. Please list us on, on Coinbase because we're just such a good little goy," you know?
Mm. Yeah. Yep.
And, uh, you know, ultimately none of it fucking mattered because, uh, the thesis didn't play out. Coinbase listed Pepe without any problems regarding its association with the alt-right, and we were left just holding our dicks, you know? If we had just doubled down on our position, you know, something different could have happened.
I can't tell you how many times the high council would tell people like me or other people in the community, "It's all about optics. It's all about optics. You can't post that. It's all about optics."
Yeah. Well, here's the thing. Optics change, pendulums shift, and you always have to build for the future that you believe in. You can't be chasing yesterday's fads, and that's exactly what they were doing.
Yeah. Well, who says it... Well, Warren Buffett. I think, I think it's Warren Buffett, "The money you can make today isn't gonna be the same way you make it tomorrow." Or along the lines of that. Don't, don't quote me on that.
Sure.
Right. Yeah. Same, trying to s- trying to copy the playbook. But here's the thing, though. It's, it was an education campaign too. They had everybody on. And I think you mentioned it earlier in the conversation that is that if you gotta go around educating people, it's, that's a very zer- zero-sum game. Nobody cares. Nobody cares-
Right
... enough to put their money after you just, "Oh- "Hey, let me educate you about why Apu's different than Pepe." Oh, they're gonna be-
Right
... they're gonna be pulling out their wallet, and they're gonna be handing you $500,000 because you just gave them so much education. You just thrilled them. They're thrilled. You're telling them there's another frog? You know? Like, let's be real here. It was, it was a good thing to entertain, and I believed in it. I was part of the whitewashing.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, I, I ultimately don't care who the personalities were, you know? A lot of people, they get their panties in a twist because, like, I'm against some sort of idea that they're aligned with, and they think that I think that they're a bad person. But really, I just think the idea is shit, and they get like, oh, you know, all butthurt about it. But, you know, I'm not, I'm not taking it personally, and you shouldn't take it personally either.
Absolutely. Absolutely. There's, there's actually, like, it's... I mean, I'm a grown-ass man, man. You know what I mean? Like, I don't take any of this shit personal. It's just... I guess it's the, you're, it's, you're, you're, the expectations of, like, the caliber of person you would assume people would be on a certain level of normalcy, whatever level of normalcy that you think that might be, 'cause sometimes we're all a little different crazy. You know? But it gets to a point where people take the cult shit too far, to the point you're like, like, you're like, "Whoa, wait a minute," like, "You guys are crazy." "You guys are not... You guys need to go outside." You know? It kind of, like, makes you think about it a little bit more. You know? So whether, you know, I... Whether that's a realization of it, taking it personal, or me, uh, verbally expressing it and them taking it personal, uh, maybe it's a little bit of both, but this, all this comes down to is just too much screen time for some people. Really, that's all it comes down to. Because it got whitewashed, it feels, you have to feel like you have the need to keep perpetuating the meme. Because it's not decentralized its own thing, you have to feel like you have to keep educating people. You feel like you have to keep shilling people.
Yeah. One point-
I get it
... I'd like to make is that a lot of these, um, guys, you know, they're, they consider themselves day one OGs or whatever. They got in early, and, and they really value the, the work that they put in. But they, they really need to realize that they're an extremely small minority of the actual people who know Apu from its cultural relevance, right? There are so many more people out there that like Apu and that they have nothing to do with, um, with our token. So just because you are bag working for a particular token, you know, don't get too big of a head about it, right? Ultimately, you wanna attract those people, and you wanna assign the tokenized community and the ERC contract to the cultural relevance of the meme so that you're able to attract that liquidity. And if, if you have a big ego and all you do is talk about yourself and how much work you put into the coin, you're at a race to the bottom because you're just alienating whatever people that are left in our community and causing them to crash out.
That's a very good point, 'cause I remember one point in time we actually went after a few artists that weren't involved in the coin, but they still loved Apu. But yet we ostracized the fuck out of those people. And it's, that's a great point, Alex, because if you want your coin to be the chosen coin, and if you really wanna be whitewashed, if you really wanna say everybody can join, then why the hell are you acting like that? You know, I, I, I don't, n- I never understood. You know? Hating, you lose all aura when you hate or are just negative. It just... All aura just poof.
Yeah.
But you're right.
Well-
Well, they, some people think they're celebrities, man. Like, nobody knows who they are outside of X. But yet on X and, like, they're this, they're this crazy fucking person on X, dude. But you never heard of them, you know what I mean? Nobody cares.
Well, you know, ultimately I am thankful for the work that everyone is putting into Apu. And ultimately, you know, I appreciate them. But, you know, what I, what I think about you shouldn't matter to you either. Or like, I'm not saying you, but just in a general you. Like, you, you don't need my, uh, thankfulness. You don't need my appreciation. You can, you can do whatever you want, right? Um, if you do something for Apu and I don't like it, that shouldn't bother you.
I agree with that, 'cause at the end of the day, I want you to make it.
Yeah. Like, I want everyone in the Apu community to make a fuck ton of money. Like, I don't know where this idea came from that I want to... That I'm taking food out of people's mouths or, or, you know, crazy shit like that. Um, obviously I want everyone to make it.
Yeah, it doesn't need to be all negative That's for sure. And you know what, Alex? I didn't even know you-
Excuse me for a second.
I didn't even know you existed until basically th- you got propped up as some big-time whale.
All right. I'm back.
Yeah, I didn't even know you existed until you got propped up as some big-time whale, honestly. 'Cause that's how you got propped up as was, "Alex, hey, we got this new whale," or whatever. Like, it just got... You got propped up as this whale. So that's why I talk about you having the authenticity in the community because you're... They were told, "Hey, this guy is the whale. He has money. This is the guy that is gonna do stuff for us, uh, essentially, 'cause he's the whale." And that's a little bit unfair. Yeah, I don't think that, that... You know, I don't think that's what you really wanted, but that's what you got. And honestly, you're actually on the space talking, having a conversation, and 5G doesn't do that, you know? So I'm not trying to talk bad about him, I'm just stating the facts. I've worked with 5G for many years, and I never had a verbal conversation with the guy at all.
Right.
So that's, that's kind of weird. But, you know, when I realized I wasn't useful to him anymore, you know, he just cut you off, and same thing happened to you. And I didn't articulate that right when I tried to tell you, 'cause I'm... Sometimes I'm a piece of shit, honestly, you know? And I know I talk shit. I'm... You know, I talk shit, and that's why you got me blocked, and that's why a lot of people have me blocked. It's 'cause I talk shit, and sometimes I'm an asshole. But I just... All my anger was just misguided 'cause it was all at 5G, 'cause he just is... He's a fucking asshole, dude. And every... All these people listen to this guy, and they praise him, and it's fucking weird. So I just want to apologize, everybody, for being a piece of shit. 'Cause we had Pat coming up here trying to do some therapy session, and I didn't even know this, this is what these guys thought of me, honestly. Like, that's fucking wild. But it is what it is, man. And you know what? Like you said, you don't let that shit get to you at all. Like, yeah, you don't let that shit get to you. It's just... And like I said, this is the caliber of person. You'd think, like, they'd just be cool and normal, but apparently there's, like, all this gossip, and these guys really... They really think these things. It's, it's like, it's insane, so, you know. But I do, I do wanna keep DCing Apu, I think. I think there's big things coming. And honestly, they talk about shaking out weak hands. This is honestly the... This is the time you shake out the fucking weak hands is through shit like this, right?
What else are you invested in, in, uh, in crypto?
Fucking a lot of Ethereum. But I can't... I don't wanna talk about it because, um, you know, these Apu guys are... They're weird. I've been doxxed. One of my addresses have been doxxed. So I don't like talking about myself anymore.
Okay.
So I'm sorry, but yeah. I mean, I have just... I have Ethereum and-
Yeah
... I have this and that, but... And it's fucked up, dude, because they want me to feel ostracized and weird, so they've accomplished that on some level. Um, but, you know. Yeah. I need to get more of my money into crypto like you, though, honestly, 'cause I think the US dollar is gonna fail. Trump is fucking us up.
Well, one thing you can do that helps you get exposure, like have liquid assets, is to essentially buy XAUT, which is, uh, Tether's spot gold, uh, ERC contract. So you essentially... You get your money into crypto, you hold XAUT, and whenever you feel like you're gonna make a play, it's very easy to, to do that. That way you still maintain upside to gold. So in case there is a global economic collapse, gold rips, you know, you still have upside there. And, uh, at the same time, you have, like, uh, liquidity available to be able to invest in whatever it is that you want because your money's in crypto.
Absolutely. That's what... I mean, that's what I understand people who buy physical gold and metal phys- like precious metal. I mean, I understand it's precious metal and all that, but you could still get the same, uh, value just with digital equities. Just you don't have the ownership on it.
Yeah. I, I mean, th- there is custodial risk, but at this point, I think that Tether is a state-backed asset. I don't think they're going away. I think it's, I think it's part of the plan to... You know, part of the digital ID plan and get everyone holding, um, paper gold.
Yep. Digital IDs are definitely coming. I definitely agree with you on that. You know, I'm still, I still... You know, it's, it's one of those questions I kind of ask myself, you know, like what chain? But it's not gonna be a singular chain. It's gonna be like five chains, maybe six or seven chains that are gonna run the world. And I know Ethereum's one of them. You know, it's like a little game I like to play with myself. Like, what fucking crypto's gonna be the one that's gonna dominate the world?
It's XRP.
Right? It's the standard, bro.
I heard that banks are gonna use it.
Yeah, dude. I... Dude, I have somebody telling me that the whole United States is gonna absolve their debt with XRP.
Right.
Can you, can you believe that? I can't. But these people believe it, and they're dead serious about it.
Well, yeah, and, you know, ultimately they're just an XRP cult.
More or less, yeah, or a tech cult. Quote, "tech"-
Right
... emphasis on quote with, with, you know, hyphens. It's all, it's all a gimmick. It's all air- it's all vaporware.
All right. Well, um, we've covered a lot. It's been three hours. What do you guys wanna do? Do you wanna keep going or call it a day?
Damn, it's been three hours? That's crazy.
Yeah.
I'm, I'm, I'm whatever, dude. I have nothing to do, bro. It's, it's whatever. I've ... You know, it's ... If anybody wants to come up and chat.
Yeah. I mean, anyone that, uh, wants to chat, you know, please unmute yourselves and, and we can talk about other topics. If you have any questions, please go ahead and ask them. I'll give it a couple of minutes. If no one wants to talk, then we'll probably just call it a day.
Yep. Sounds good to me. But yeah, no, I'm glad that, uh, you know, Culture spun the space up because, you know, I've learned ... I've ... I was onto this shit, what he's, what he's talking about, everything. You know, I was onto this shit a little earlier than most, I guess, and I had a total crash-out about it. I didn't articulate myself well 'cause I was basically like, "Fuck everybody." And, you know, some people can have their opinions about it, but, you know, it is what it is at this point. That was like three years ago, so I don't know why people keep bringing it up, and I don't know why I need to address it all the time, but-
Oh, you know, that's kind of funny. Um, I can only laugh about it, but there were narratives about me that are as old as Apuh. And when I was useful to the high council- ... I was forgiven for all of these perceived slights, whether or not I did them or not.
Right. Right.
Right? And then once I was no longer-
Thank you
... useful to them, it all came back. Suddenly-
Dude, it comes back fucking t- a hundredfold
Right. But, you know, once again, I don't take it personally.
Same. I think it's crazy. I ... You know what? I gotta give them credit for how well they're good at manipulating people.
It's, it's actually the, the people's fault that are being manipulated because there's always gonna be ... There's always gonna be scammers, and it's, it's ultimately your choice if, if you're the one getting scammed or not.
Amen. Amen. I think that's a fucking great way to leave it, bro. Honestly. That's solid, man. It was good talking to you, Alex. You know, sorry for being a piece of shit in the past, man, but it was misguided anger. I'm glad we had this conversation today. I'm glad Culture spun the space. I hope he's getting laid tonight, bro. I hope he didn't fuck it up for him, man.
Yeah. Yeah, I hope so. And yeah, it's no, it's no big deal. And, and thank you for, for the chat as well.
Absolutely. No, I like-
All right
... I like the breakdown too of Happy. I like, uh ... Yeah. You have a very analytical thought process. I like that. I would give you-
Well, thanks
... a follow, but you got me blocked, so sorry, dude.
I'll, I'll figure ... Like honestly, I don't, I don't use Twitter as much as everyone thinks I do.
No, don't worry. Don't worry. Don't, don't unblock me. Just do whatever you wanna do, bro. Enjoy your night, dude. It was great talking to you, though.
Likewise. For sure.
All right. All right.
Take care.
You too.
