Behind the Mic
So I'm so excited, I can't even talk. So, actually, I got to jump off here, but. Well, no, I just blew a tire, so I got to go deal with that. What is going on right now? All right, well, you look great. Thanks for coming up. Yeah, you hilarious guy. Go deal with your tire. Og. Goat in the space just blew his tire, everyone. So he will go take care of that, but I'll kick it over to Phigital and then. Joey, Joey, I see you're raising your hand. We'll go right to you next. I completely lost my train of thought. What was what? We were even talking about four blown tires and shit. Dude, I don't think RWA solved that, but at least he could document it. I think you're talking about, like, how you got into this shit, and that's kind of a boring story. There's two things. There's the first part, you're excited. But I think there's two cool things that are interesting to bring up about how you got into real estate, Fin X, etc. There's the traditional finance side and then this guy coded for quant, which is amazing. Can you talk a little bit about how you've bridged the two worlds, maybe? Because that's like, it's a bit of a meteoric trajectory from, you know, very normal, incredible computer science job to this new FinEx decentralized world. Talk to us about that love to, but I didn't learn how to leverage using some dry powder. It was by accident. Yeah, give us the cool part. Well, actually, you know, I get geeked out on TA. TA is one of my favorite things to do between him and the other dude. I always hire a TA. Like, there's a group of people who will take some TA classes, technical analysis classes of all kinds. And for me, I take master classes through TA Institute or whatever. And so one of the fun things I did, and I since I had a coding background at first is, if you see charts on my screen earlier, like hex showing a red buy sell indicator, like the Facebook indicator that I use, like, I would write those little scripts into my own system and then I'd marry those with quantitative easing indicators and then dump those in some github vault that I'd never see about again. Okay, so it was cool. I play this Secret Horner like, you know, coding in my mom's basement, habitatting in code and then running three houses at the same time. So you went from that, and like, how did you stumble on the part that was more the real estate based part? So I remember reading this headline, a guy on my guest, interview on a podcast goes, hey, did you hear that blackstone, you know, destroyed the US. single family property renting market. I was like, actually, they bought the majority of single family homes. That was one part back in like, because in 2011, you know, it's like, we're still just kind of getting out of the out of the great financial crisis. So they bought up hella properties, and they're buying them so cheap. So they're the largest landlord in the us. And when they bought all that momentum, all like that first step that they took was to syndicate all of those single family rental restaurants, houses, you know, businesses, even office buildings, like those all got syndicated across the C, C footer. And I remember delving into that and reading that, like blackstone was like blackstone invesco, all of a sudden, all these places were doing this, and I was going like, this is insane man. So I got into actually, at that point, I had more equity,.my goal to hedge for the same reasons. Because I was like, why aren't we adapting what's been going on over there? Why don't we learn from those? And, you know, buy up all this extremely cheap Jesus, I just paid someone a hundred. one dollars. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? So that was part of it. And at the same time, it really was actually, if you can think further, think globally. Globally at the same point in time, Um, iot was being unified, like unified cities and unified, uh, brick and mortar stores. We weren't doing these to like, to learn, like Silicon valley style, but it was more like global presence for Google is now sending like wifi signals to streets across externally and all the cities, downtowns, and burbs. I was there to haggle a percentage. So smash cut to Tulsa. We have standardized markets. Now we have TA. Now we do this with quant stuff I did over at bank to standardize that, all of a sudden I knew these guys in California. They were like, hey, you know, do you guys want to do something? I was like, yes. That is intersecting of those worlds, right? Like, that's pretty amazing. So that was it. I moved to Cali. Oh, man. A little better than Tulsa. I could talk about this stuff for like hours because it's so fascinating for me. Your journey is amazing.and I think this is where we have this conversation about having our communities online and just being passionate about but also then translating it effectively into the Dia space. So, um, unfortunately, I had a truckload, oh, so many things on my mind, but I really have to ask Phigital, like a back in circa seven when he was like, hey, you know, we can all leave the roles we're playing now, which is all great, but I love this little process of FnX and moving it forward there, you could jump into the room, you could have, you know, a few dozen people that you really care about, and we just kind of work with this with, like, what Dan was saying, what Joey was saying, everybody's giving their outputs. That was always awesome because every time I heard people were too big about their investments, career, career stations, account manager, they were like that sad deathless PA. You're nothing to do with that. I'm not PA, I'm CPAs all day. I truly believe they do not know what each other does is what he told me. So he was like, so blockchain is fluid. Everything is quantitative. Everything should be moving. And then that's how Finex and RWA came along because so many projects made sense. It was too big a tent, so we're bringing all this together for the reason that you were just telling me is that we create more streams for inputs to actually participate rather than just exist to this high end old market that, you know, two people get, two percent, get the value of. Exactly. You just, exactly, you know, love it, love an ex, but you know, you need to keep moving. So thank you, thank you to those people, including yourself. I appreciate that. It's always a lot of fun, and I definitely really am glad that you brought that up because, like again, a lot of these ideas are to take what used to be, um, not heads down too much there, but it was kind of stuck in the mud the whole time. And then it opens up this whole new world of grassroots everywhere. It's like, for me, I thought I had the most people before last together, we really believed in this. And when we pushed forward, there's a lot of resistance, but the right person, right people that can justify and believe, get why we're moving this, there was a lot more growth and a lot more passionate people to get involved. Can I throw it back to doc? What gets really, really exciting about what you're looking at in terms of Finex RDF ways? Yeah, I mean, what's really interesting about what's happening in that space, see what people really understand when you got those sticky people? Is that for the first time in pretty much since the invention or advent of modern civilization, for the first time, these people are given a piece of ownership over a lot of the goods that they've seen. And, and that's, and that's incredible because here, though the opportunity in the US is in the lower croft enjoy between 120 to 3000 contracts per claim. Especially if you're traditional oil fields. When you talk about like fractionalized benefits, these people pound a monthly mat, like bigger than my joke, big broader bigger than that. So these people can see because if, especially at Texans, like Texans, um, the Texans so much there's they have that pure love, especially like my two kids want to be in O and G. O and G home ownership and bringing that onto the blockchain gives them all the benefits and premiums that people want and people dream of. So it's really interesting talking about people versus interesting products. For sure, I think somebody actually just pinged me early on, they were like, holy cow, like I was waiting to see what the updates were going to be this Thursday. I was going to be busy. Now it's like 930 143. Here I sat the entire time. This is so great. And this is why we want to do this right. It gives everybody an opportunity. Like you have a suggestion, like Tony brings it up and he'll come back. Of course, like I'll go around, I'll go read, like I'll read some throwback stuff for you. You never know. It could be a TA. I love that TA approach mentioned. Um, I'll follow suit and one, and priceless sinned monetization was fantastic for me. It makes perfect sense looking at the sector and how you guys worked within, you know, smaller than what you can do your projects like that, um, and that whole three years span you put together, I put forth it, like a food truck, like let's get trucks here. you put your trucks in, your goods go onto this blockchain so you can do pre-owned goods of all kinds going forward. I think, instead of probably just like guys can actually get your goods, pre-owned cars going forward, um, with that blockchain proprietary metrics back up 1999, 2000 the way back proof of sale and just basic things metrics like making reliable and viable too. Totally agree. Yeah. Thanks so much for bringing that up. Really appreciate it. And again, back to TA, Joey could just tap you on TA, what did you want to add about Real world assets? Yeah. Thank you so much. I can see, we have loads of space, but there's also loads of velocity either. and, and I mean, I just wanted to mention one other use cases of like, we've, we've, we've definitely got the space side, but the other thing that I've been particularly proud of and, and Phigital, remember the Drew and the guys, the best thing that we've seen was when they were adding windows over the windows before they had, uh, added the blockchain when people couldn't see add in that so that they can effectively jump in and start straight away on transactions without any pre protected zones. This really has been, uh, impressive on my side. So great to hear. Great to hear. For me, I get excited when I see that happen for the first time. Like, in general, all those things that they were talking about, mentioning it just makes me happy to see. Like I said, note, James, man, back at you, James. I am here real quick. Well, it's true notes. I kind of just participate in everybody doing what they're doing and my alarm will probably ring so I'll do it right. I'll do it for them real quick. No, it's been, this has been awesome, guys. Definitely, definitely the best part for me, uh, usually I'm heads down. James, good guy. So it's the first part. So when you get into these spaces, it's like, I want to check out some peer-to-peer because I wasn't sure whether someone mentioned that earlier and it really comes right down to peer-to-peer because up until that point, until proven otherwise, nobody was willing to give up on their business. So first source just shared to us for his sense of team building. I think you initially just love to participate and support the rest of your team. Has anyone else had any thoughts or amongst your teammates? doc? I just wanted to just stand back and like, I always like to shout out everyone that really participates. I mean, for me, it's been awesome, particularly on TA. I think you're right on TA on that side. Okay, cool. James, is there anything else you want to share? Small bursts in between. I'm good. Shepard, shepherd really stoked to meet you there. I mean, like james, with that, it's really about hammer space, you know? Has anyone been had been to hammer space? They probably just love just getting in there, you know? and so and I think this is where everyone ultimately gets super excited at times because you would get let's say, you know, those times when you wanted to look at it for, like, analysis especially, uh, that group you've seen on, uh, that ethos into analysis so that we could hang out and have our conversations long since we participate in all sorts of projects together. That has been cool and way better. hit me up to see the piece on the sentiment sentiment plays that and really share some real world examples. But before that, hey, we look forward to you all listening on this podcast from everywhere. Take care, everyone. So good. I just wanted to add real quick, kind of going backwards a little, someone made a comment about, like, their transformer. And one of the things we always talk about in this space is how do we onboard more people and then how do we get them to stay? And I think for me, what I love about real world assets, collectibles and all these things on chain is this is stuff that people actually have a passion and love for. Right? Like we're seeing this in the collectible space where we're onboarding people from web two because they genuinely have a passion for when we say nFt, right, we mostly think of like, you know, monkey jpegs and whatever, right? But when we explain to them like, hey, listen, you're passionate about magic, the gathering or Pokemon or whatever, and this is what we can do with it if it makes it sticky for them and they get it. And that's why I think this, like, sect, the sector of the blockchain with deep ins and Rwas, has so much more sticking power when it comes to onboarding, what we like to call normies. Because these are the things that people are passionate about, like real estate, people that are into real estate, it's because they're passionate about it. It's because they genuinely want to, like, invest and grow their portfolio and be part of this collect the same thing with collectibles. So I think that's the biggest difference when we're talking about like, what we're doing in comparison to, you know, what everybody else is doing, whether it's like, you know, community is utility and we're going to have toys and whatever, like, these are things that people have, like, grown up with, or it's a major part of their life already and we're just creating a better solution. I agree. And, and this little thread I've been pulling on over the last couple of days with this crazy rerun up of GameStop and roaring kitty coming and roaring back, there's also a narrative underneath here that we can really seriously pull at, you know, about upsetting the Apple card and sticking it to the man and creating, you know, alternative ecosystems. I love that kind of stuff. It's just, it gets me jazz, frankly. And as long as it's also delivering value, like I think that's, that's a great addition. For sure. I think I appreciate that. Like, again, that's the big difference, right? is the deliverable aspect of it, right? I mean, at the end of the day, um, we're just, we're just doing another thing before the next, right? And then this ties in perfectly, you know, a fun part about it, I'm always geeked about this when, when you're sleeping on my ideas though, but I was like, not tonight guys, let's talk about this. This next part, no, it's really a cool thing and I think you guys mentioned a couple of things on that front. Again. one. of the fun parts is, is getting together is that we pull and pull this out because I think it's fantastic. I think traditionally there's been a lot of people that have people like Greg, Greg put his first space, but now with moving everything to necessary second channels and planning on the blockchain was not as fast as I thought. Well, so communities catch up from changes on that front as well and then growing the other from good older assets, you know, like growing them into life now. So good. You know, It's like, we could talk for hours about like, can, can we make this cap valuable to anybody? and it's like why don't we continue building this out? Absolutely keep designing new opportunities as we go out. This is what it's all about. Creating that inclusion could be great experiences to build your skills too. Like fucking curious about why I was moving on to get those metrics as, as easy as you did. Now you're giving me those and then moving them forward into the area where I wanted to get to and then move on to that next area again. So for me there's so many motivations. total motivation moments for me really again and seeing the stuff happen is completely different and this is really why we're doing this because the overlap of it just adds a good participation metric and we cheer each other on when we see the things added right to the space and then moving on to look at next good stuff. Great stuff. So I'm basically at this point in time when you say forwards keep moving on what continuity does cohesiveness is there and is it really crucial when you move into this next point and so far it's been a really massive drive nothing like a cat, cat moves over a mountain and why you really thought that's weird but when you really start participating you see why that just makes it a lot extra special good experiences to build again and create those teams a bit easier. Absolutely keep building and I think the biggest motivating factor of running and seeing what you really wanted to build from before pulling this together is beyond what inclusion does too. So personally I wanted to just say you guys thank you when I people really for me it's a good practical base feel like basics and a lot of people want more of this newness, these trial runs and from then on, you got to keep going on there's really good value, ties back into a bigger picture. And that bigger picture always built segment by segment. For me, inspiration happens right here, kept right here bringing the old and new and then bringing this to a standard that's totally holistic for me. Get very excited for me. then making it better continuously then you pull and see the time zones move forward. It's like what's happening right now, we asked for this and they're bringing it. Give us a quick alpha of what happens next. Okay. Definitely for me it's retention. It's speaking to seeing how many people are passionate about like moving the space, cohesiveness, giving that place to then participate and build out with so many like scaling and delivery constraints happening out there but inclusion and good complementarities they do make real standard partnerships with real projects anyway. So base for motivation through inclusion and scaling really good. So absolutely micro important rule of thumb, cohesion, think it's been really standard into Ohio, long-term scopes and goals they come together when you do offer them participation on the same line. E for really true valuable impact on long-term obviously because I really
