Behind the Mic

So, like, you can get somebody to, like, you can wrench attack somebody’s bank card, too. You can just be like, you know, send me this bank transfer instead of, like, tell me your seed phrase. I guess it’s just like, the perception that, like, if crypto people have, like, the former perception that crypto people have money, that would. That would drive people do that. Yeah. The jurisdiction of tracking down, like, fiat currency, like, in a, like, I don’t know, domestic setting versus, like, international, like, it gets a little hairy. There’s only so much that, like, the law is going to do on behalf of your bitcoin. Sorry, they’re not saving your coins, but the bank, they’ve got, you know, money set aside for losses. They’ve got billions of dollars, you know, to deal with that sort of thing. So, yeah, I actually have a separate identity question about how, like, PFPs often are collections and whether or not you guys get the sense that, like, putting on a certain PFP allows you to wear the kind of identity of the collection and sort of become part of the hive. Because I think, you know, we can also track certain behaviors, like, I don’t know. Like, maybe there’s certain behaviors you affiliate with a bored ape. Maybe there’s certain behaviors you affiliate with malady, like, that are kind of, like, built over time, culturally, any takes on that? There are. I feel like this is something I should probably consider more because I just realized, wait, I actually created a PFP collection, right? Because I’m a photographer. I’m shooting real people. Sometimes I don’t think of it as such, but it certainly was intended to be a PFP project from the start. So I think it’ll be interesting, like, once the inscriptions are out released to the wild and people start actually, like, claiming ownership of them and using them as pfps, like, how that will manifest because they are photographs of people. But I deliberately created characters and created them to be, like, the most cartoony representations of humans so that. Authentic. Yeah. And the traits also, like, someone immediately just did going to it. The traits are going to be, I want to combine, like, just combinations that I find compelling and different sorts of adapt more than, like, any sort of immediate recognizable traits to create another type of archetype catalog of, like, differently emotionally compelling types of people. But I guess that would definitely lend itself to the collective identity. That takes it a step further, though, because, you know, if it’s not like the traits are randomized and you’re trying to, like, make different sets, it literally is saying, like, these people are all existing in the same dimension, and this is what they look like and how they behave and how they are perceived by the general public at large. And that’s powerful. I haven’t seen a lot of collections do that. Usually it’s like, oh, you have the rare, you know, yellow trait, whatever it is. And this, I think, has a strong opportunity to shape a narrative, shape stories that we all become part of to I mean, when we think about collections, one of the big things that I think about is, like, bodogos to touch on, like, a current meme that’s happening right now, like how quick was it to put a pitbull in a life jacket and say he’s swimming in Miami, and all of a sudden everyone is like, that’s a life jacket in pitbulls. Like, that’s it. That’s everything. It didn’t take much to develop meme that. And now I feel like when I watch bodogos, I kind of lean into, like, OK, like it is blodo, it is all about memes. And that transitions me into kind of something broader, which actually you all touch on with SCA. Like, how important is versatility in artistry and in understanding the process and psychology of creating the collections anyone want to touch on that? Well, and by the way, I love this. I want to hear more from SCA, but it is even in like, because I came out of, like, the West African experience. If you look back at, like, the early days of SCA, it was just joking. Like, he didn’t really feel like it kind of hit him early and necessary to the east with a kind of joking of your own narrative. Then I’m sure, like you referenced, it would have been completely disastrous, but with great insight, the knowledge that he was more of that kind of right angle and made sure couldn’t to like square, move wrong. You know, the level of versat by SCA, is super critical. I’m so glad SCA was able to provide insight. And don’t let me forget Calvin, about you can now rely on the space space, FOC like, especially across different dimensions as well. So we are able to help bridge the likes of Nick more space time, play and tease. I think you know some people jokingly get married to their positions and they just want one and you see like parity, like yielding or reflecting community, right? They might just like be literally on a brace back ride or something more niche, you know, I appreciate you a lot. Pass the loot on next time with you bro. Yeah, everything Calvin said, so true, but putting on a certain property protocol, different ident agreed, stressing, really important, also reduce square if all exist, more adapting community. I like when you find yourself, you know, adding the right good line doesn’t matter if all exist, you’ll still surprise folks. And yeah, you know, I think it’s like, bro I just like love the shit you’re doing and want you to get more of varying and credibility, upload levels, man! Just reliving all this, just epic storytelling, man. I realize this is like the most restrictive artists. So it’s very fun and happy, man, this is an ultimate experience, community.
