SPECIAL GUEST! 🚨 - $UFD Duster joins US from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

• 0:16
  Hey guys, welcome to the live stream.
• 0:18
  Welcome to the basement. You're looking at our friend
• 0:20
  Vincent. We are continuing our dusters
• 0:23
  around the World Series where we're talking to UFD key
• 0:27
  community members that are spread all around the globe
• 0:30
  today. It's a big pleasure for us to be
• 0:33
  joined by Vincent, also known as the Bullion Duster within our
• 0:37
  UFD community. He's joining us all the way from
• 0:40
  the the The Netherlands. Easy for me to say.
• 0:43
  Vincent, welcome back to the basement.
• 0:45
  You were here in person a little under a year ago and now we're
• 0:48
  connecting electronically. How are you doing, Sir?
• 0:52
  Yeah, thank you, Ron. I hope everybody can hear me
• 0:56
  well. I'm doing very well.
• 0:59
  I had some very busy travel the last weeks and soon I will be
• 1:04
  travelling with Dusty to China, by the way.
• 1:09
  But I'm doing very well and I feel excited and very happy to
• 1:14
  be in this live stream, Ron And of course, a year ago when I I
• 1:19
  believe it was March, I was face to face live with you in the in,
• 1:26
  in the basement. Yeah.
• 1:28
  It feels so different to be almost, I feel almost more
• 1:31
  excited today because when I was in the basement, actually your
• 1:37
  presence made me very comfortable.
• 1:40
  Ron Yeah. And.
• 1:42
  And you, you brought these from the airport.
• 1:45
  So everybody knows Vincent is a very accomplished professional
• 1:50
  in a, in just, you know, it's a big, big honor to have you here.
• 1:54
  You travel the world for business.
• 1:56
  I know and, and always find time every day to be engaged with the
• 2:01
  UFD community and, and also provide us with some
• 2:05
  unbelievable data, which we'll talk about a little bit later as
• 2:08
  well. And yeah, it's you're one of the
• 2:12
  the handful of dusters who was right here physically with me.
• 2:16
  And that was a big honor. And I think it, it says a lot
• 2:19
  about our community of the friendships and the connections
• 2:22
  that we've made with each other. But again, and then I'm going to
• 2:25
  be quiet and let you talk. But this is all around the
• 2:29
  world. I mean, we appeal to people in
• 2:33
  Europe like you in the Netherlands, people in Africa,
• 2:36
  South America, North America, you name it, Africa.
• 2:39
  I mean, everywhere we, you know, people can access our community
• 2:43
  and be part of what we're doing. Yeah, Roman, I was actually
• 2:49
  already in your basement two years before you started UFD.
• 2:55
  You were on my way to the office.
• 2:58
  I already was listening at a daily basis to your silver live
• 3:03
  streams. And I've learned a lot from you.
• 3:07
  And actually, I've been building my stack of silver in the last
• 3:13
  years actually based on your experience, but also your
• 3:19
  deflections on the, on the, on the world's economy.
• 3:23
  And to be honest, the today's economies are flabbergasting.
• 3:27
  We have, we have this Greenland crisis today.
• 3:33
  We are seeing silver and gold at all time highs.
• 3:38
  We are seeing Bitcoin and UFD today, a bit hits, but I believe
• 3:44
  and maybe we can talk about that later today, I believe we have
• 3:48
  an extreme resilient community and we are here to stay on.
• 3:57
  Yeah. I, I, I agree with you 100%.
• 3:59
  And, and I want to get your perspective as somebody in
• 4:02
  Europe, because I'm reading that this Greenland situation is a
• 4:07
  big, big deal to Europeans. Like maybe they're not too happy
• 4:11
  about what's going on there. Is that a a fair assessment of
• 4:15
  the feeling that you're getting being someone who's in Europe?
• 4:19
  Yeah, to almost home. Let's not talk too much
• 4:22
  politics, but I I brought I brought some silver coins.
• 4:29
  These are 75 Morgan and peace dollars.
• 4:34
  And I emphasize the words peace and then Europe.
• 4:38
  Of course, we have a long history of collaborating well
• 4:44
  with the United States, but I think the opinion currently is
• 4:50
  that Mister Trump is a bit randomly shooting at, at, at
• 4:56
  Greenland. He wants to buy it.
• 4:59
  He wants to acquire it just, and I read that today just because
• 5:04
  he didn't get the, the, the Nobel Prize Prize.
• 5:09
  So I, I think the Europeans take this fairly serious, but also
• 5:16
  sometimes with a bit of a smile, but take it fairly serious and
• 5:21
  the markets are taking it serious as well because a silver
• 5:26
  I think did go to $90.00 an ounce gold is testing 4000
• 5:34
  several 100. So I think we will remember 26
• 5:39
  as a very, very special year. Yeah, you know, and, and I think
• 5:44
  that the situation with Greenland actually says
• 5:47
  something powerful about Unicorn fart dust in our community as
• 5:52
  well. Because I've, I've said this a
• 5:54
  lot over the last month or so that like when we come together
• 5:58
  as part of UFD, we, we set aside a lot of our political beliefs,
• 6:03
  a lot of our individual like things that can be galvanizing.
• 6:07
  Whether you're a, a, a very conservative person, excuse me,
• 6:11
  or you're very liberal, or you are in the United States or
• 6:16
  you're in Europe like you and I are together.
• 6:19
  That's a great example. You and I are together right now
• 6:22
  as friends within the UFD community.
• 6:25
  And you aren't mad at me because I'm an American and we aren't
• 6:29
  arguing about whether or not Trump is good or bad and
• 6:32
  Greenland blah, blah. Like we're we set those things
• 6:35
  aside and come together, you know, because we have this joint
• 6:39
  mission within UFD. Does that make sense?
• 6:41
  Does that? I think that's one of the more
• 6:43
  powerful. And then I want to get your I'm
• 6:45
  going to have two, two prong question.
• 6:47
  Then I want to get your perspective because you've
• 6:49
  traveled literally, it feels like to me everywhere in the
• 6:53
  world, OK, pretty much a lot of places.
• 6:56
  And and do you think that most people in the world are good
• 7:00
  hearted? I know you were in, I think was
• 7:02
  it Pakistan lately? Or maybe sure.
• 7:04
  I don't know. Some like really what to me seem
• 7:07
  like exotic places and I see you with a smile on your face with
• 7:11
  people on the street. Like do you feel like like
• 7:14
  generally most people in the world are really good hearted
• 7:16
  people? Vincent.
• 7:18
  Well, let's just start with your last question because I'm
• 7:21
  passionate about that. And maybe to build some context,
• 7:26
  I, I do now work for an American company actually we produce
• 7:33
  labels for the T-shirts and for all kinds of apparel.
• 7:38
  And I am the global environmental health and safety
• 7:43
  director. And basically my role and the
• 7:47
  role of my team is to lead safety and environmental
• 7:52
  practice to leading levels. And we know you can also, you
• 7:56
  can only go to leading levels when we are driving culture and
• 8:01
  we are people centric. And sometimes I do get this
• 8:07
  question, Vincent, to which country do you travel?
• 8:13
  Where do you really like to travel and which people do you
• 8:17
  like the most? And to be honest, my answer is
• 8:19
  always I like to go to all the countries because to be honest,
• 8:24
  all the people take care for their colleagues and all the
• 8:28
  people take care for their friends.
• 8:30
  So I'm one of those persons who believe in the goods of the
• 8:34
  people. And that is why I was attracted
• 8:37
  by your purpose. You, you invented for you have
• 8:42
  the good attracts goods because it's very close to to my
• 8:48
  purpose. Well.
• 8:50
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, people everywhere.
• 8:53
  And I think that's a powerful force and advantage that we have
• 8:57
  with UFD, right. Like we aren't, we aren't
• 8:59
  focused on one niche of, of, of of a community.
• 9:02
  We aren't focused on, you know, a specific hobby or a specific,
• 9:08
  a celebrity or a specific political movement or anything
• 9:11
  like that. We're focused on the fact that
• 9:14
  most people in the world that I think the vast majority are good
• 9:19
  and, and want good things to happen and want peace and want,
• 9:22
  you know, camaraderie and to be part of a community.
• 9:26
  And, and the fact that we are also available everywhere in the
• 9:30
  world, right? You don't have to have a bank
• 9:31
  account. You don't have to have a big
• 9:33
  investment account or anything like that.
• 9:35
  We're accessible to all these people.
• 9:38
  We think over time as we continue down this Rd. little by
• 9:41
  little is going to be a big competitive advantage for our
• 9:45
  for our project. Yeah, I agree.
• 9:48
  Well, then we, we, we, we like, like the silver community.
• 9:52
  I feel we have a pretty resilient community.
• 9:57
  When I joined the silver community, sometimes I was
• 10:00
  scratching my head. Will this price of silver ever
• 10:04
  go up? And compared to two or three
• 10:08
  years ago, we doubled or quad tripled the price of silver.
• 10:14
  By the way, I'm not looking too much to the price, but to be
• 10:17
  honest, silver has been horizontal for quite a long
• 10:20
  time. And then boom, the, the, the,
• 10:24
  the context in the world changes.
• 10:26
  We see a lot of depths in Americas.
• 10:28
  We see a lot of uncertainty in the world and whenever there's
• 10:33
  uncertainty, a lot of people choose for safety and that is
• 10:40
  the reason why they move to precious metals.
• 10:44
  And that is also why I believe more and more people will find a
• 10:49
  way to UFD because I almost see UFD as silver 2.0.
• 10:56
  It is the safe harbor in the in, in crypto.
• 11:01
  And I see in our community that we are taking care whenever we
• 11:06
  see on the on the trend line, we are missing some people.
• 11:10
  There's always someone asking, hey, how is this and this person
• 11:14
  doing? And then there's always a Death
• 11:17
  Star who says, hey, I will contact the person just to ask
• 11:22
  how they are doing. So in UFD, we are taking care
• 11:27
  for the community for the long term.
• 11:30
  I'm not here as a crypto trader. I'm, I'm really silver bullion
• 11:36
  owner. I'm here for the longer time and
• 11:41
  the same I apply in the UFD. Well, I I'm not a crypto trader.
• 11:47
  I'm here for the long term, yeah.
• 11:50
  Yeah, you know, I'm not a crypto trader either.
• 11:53
  I've bought Solana and I've bought UFD and I've held I used
• 11:59
  Solana to buy UFD. I'm not a a quick trader and I
• 12:03
  think that's another unique and we'll talk about this a little
• 12:06
  bit later. I want to, I want to talk a
• 12:07
  little bit about the Co relations and the similarities
• 12:10
  that I see between crypto, UFD and and precious metals, But I
• 12:17
  think that's another kind of defining quality of UFD is that
• 12:22
  sure, there's traders out there and that's great.
• 12:24
  You know, I used to trade when I was younger.
• 12:27
  I had to learn my lessons. I'm a what I consider to be an
• 12:30
  investor, right? Like buy and hold, find
• 12:33
  something you believe in. I bought silver over the years.
• 12:37
  I don't keep it here at my house, but I've acquired, you
• 12:40
  know, some silver. There's I've never sold an ounce
• 12:42
  of silver. Never.
• 12:43
  I don't know that I ever will. I look at it as generational.
• 12:46
  I kind of look at UFD in that same way.
• 12:50
  Like I don't have, like people ask me, well, when are you going
• 12:52
  to sell your UFD? I'm like, I don't think about it
• 12:55
  'cause I don't have any plans to sell my UFD.
• 12:58
  It's something that I, that I believe in that that has a, a
• 13:03
  finite, A finite number of coins out there.
• 13:07
  And like you said, with the community and what the community
• 13:11
  is doing, I think that there's great value to be harvested and
• 13:16
  almost infinite value to be created because of the community
• 13:21
  as we head down the road. You know, you mentioned UFD and
• 13:26
  I think you referred to it almost like digital silver.
• 13:29
  And it's interesting that when I created the original UFD meme,
• 13:33
  now we've since moved on. We have our own, you know, IP
• 13:36
  that we own. But the original meme was the
• 13:39
  little foam key chain. Here's what here it is right
• 13:42
  here, the original sitting on top of Hey there they are High 5
• 13:47
  buddy, sitting on top of two American Silver Eagle coins.
• 13:52
  Yeah, and I, I like it. And I, I got this as a present.
• 13:57
  This is my squeezy or my dusty, which is travelling all the
• 14:03
  world with me. Ron, actually, I think you
• 14:07
  signed it on the bottom. There is a coat underneath it.
• 14:10
  So it has a special coat from you.
• 14:13
  Thank you. This is a unique collector's
• 14:15
  item and for today I I brought to silver coins.
• 14:22
  Actually I bought I think from the US Mint.
• 14:27
  They are called 25 Morgan and Peace dollar coins and they are
• 14:33
  reverse proof to coin set. They look fabulous.
• 14:38
  They were way too expensive. So I normally don't buy any
• 14:44
  silver with a lot of premium. Maybe the premium here was 50%
• 14:49
  from the US Mint. But to be honest, price in
• 14:52
  silver has gone up like hell in the last weeks.
• 14:56
  And actually I think the US Mint communicated last week that they
• 15:03
  had to re evaluate the price and they I think doubled more than
• 15:09
  doubled the price. They are currently asking for
• 15:12
  these beautiful coins. And the reason I bought them is
• 15:17
  I think 25 will be a memorable year and 25 has been a memorable
• 15:23
  year. That is why I wanted to buy
• 15:25
  them. And they are sitting together on
• 15:28
  my desk when I'm in the office with with Dusty looking to why
• 15:34
  how I'm doing my work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:36
  Well, and you know, if they if they call Bitcoin digital gold,
• 15:40
  which is a common thing that I've heard over the years, I
• 15:45
  feel very confident referring to Unicorn fart dust as digital
• 15:49
  silver because the available supply of silver is very
• 15:54
  constrained and the available supply of Unicorn fart dust is
• 15:58
  very constrained as well. And again, I want to ask you
• 16:01
  about your read on the data that comes through.
• 16:04
  The other thing I want to draw and I want to share with the
• 16:07
  viewers, because most of our viewers are from our UFD
• 16:10
  community as we're doing this live stream is that and, and
• 16:14
  Vincent touched on this. I was in the silver community
• 16:18
  really for decades and got really involved probably 5 or 6
• 16:22
  years ago. And the way that I feel about
• 16:25
  UFD right now is very similar to the way that I felt about
• 16:30
  silver. Just my opinion.
• 16:32
  I'm not a financial advisor any of that great stuff, but the
• 16:35
  same way that I I felt about silver two or three years ago
• 16:39
  where I knew that there was so much value there, but the market
• 16:44
  wasn't necessarily reflecting that.
• 16:47
  And and that's the exact same way right now that I feel about
• 16:51
  UFD and I get even a little more excited because I love the
• 16:56
  silver community. I have wonderful friends.
• 16:58
  I love silver. I just do.
• 17:00
  I love gold too. But I'm really have always been
• 17:02
  a silver guy. And I can tell you that with Web
• 17:04
  3 and even silver, right at the end of the day, yeah, Silvers
• 17:09
  physical UFD is purely digital, no doubt.
• 17:13
  But at the end of the day, value, even with silver is
• 17:17
  created by a community of people in the world that are, that are,
• 17:21
  that are agreeing that it's that that much that valuable.
• 17:25
  And when I look at the UFD community with Web 3 and, and
• 17:29
  because there's a, there is a difference between, you know,
• 17:32
  Web 3 and kind of the Web 2 communities, like the, the UFD
• 17:37
  community is deep and in crypto, right?
• 17:40
  I know that Bitcoin, that's what made Bitcoin so successful was
• 17:44
  the depth and the belief of the community.
• 17:46
  And when I look at what how deeply ingrained and connected
• 17:52
  the UFD community is, it's like nothing that I've ever seen,
• 17:55
  which makes me even more optimistic on a personal level
• 17:59
  about UFD. Yeah, I like your comments.
• 18:04
  One, I think to almost both groups have so much more in
• 18:10
  common than they differ. So I think whether you trust
• 18:16
  the, the yellow gold or the white silver or the digital UFDI
• 18:23
  think it is about having a bit of healthy distrust against the
• 18:30
  Fiat, the, the, the basically our money, which is just
• 18:35
  becoming Unicorn fart, just worthless paper.
• 18:41
  And I think that is the, the, the commonality in between the
• 18:48
  silver and and the UFD community.
• 18:52
  And we take control in our own destiny.
• 18:57
  You call it the destiny. And, and I think that is a
• 19:01
  really a good idea. Rotate some of your Fiat in
• 19:06
  gold, silver and limited crypto. Invest in the crypto where you
• 19:13
  know the owners will not wreck you.
• 19:17
  That is, I think also unique about UFD.
• 19:21
  We are the trusted coin. We have been surviving 25.
• 19:28
  We we are still here for 13 months while 99% of all the
• 19:36
  crypto created in 25 have been disappearing on So we we are an
• 19:44
  established top 20 mean coin and we are here to stay.
• 19:52
  Yeah, they're calling us. They're calling us a blue chip
• 19:55
  meme coin. They're calling us in OG, which
• 19:58
  my friend Georgie 420 kindly educated me on that OG stands
• 20:04
  for Original Gangster, and that's apparently indigent.
• 20:08
  Like, like the blue chip term is trad Phi, you know, stock
• 20:12
  market. You know, IBM when I grew up was
• 20:15
  a blue chip stock. Kodak, Apple and Microsoft are
• 20:18
  probably blue chip stocks now. The more degen crypto side of
• 20:23
  things refers to Unicorn fart dust as OG, right?
• 20:27
  Original gangster. Like where we've been around,
• 20:30
  everybody knows about us. Everybody's, you know, we had
• 20:33
  some big meetings last week. I had some conversations with
• 20:38
  some big people in crypto and they all say the same thing like
• 20:41
  we're watching you, you're on our radar screen.
• 20:45
  It's a big, big deal. And Vincent, I want to circle
• 20:48
  back to something you said earlier because I agree with you
• 20:51
  100% the similarities between silver investors and gold
• 20:57
  investors, But again, focus more on silver and crypto investors
• 21:01
  and in particular UFD investors. They are, they are so similar,
• 21:05
  right? There's this little difference
• 21:07
  between being physical and being digital.
• 21:11
  It's almost like the analogy that I like to use.
• 21:14
  It's almost like crypto investors and precious metals
• 21:18
  investors are like like siblings that were separated at
• 21:21
  birthright. They don't realize how similar
• 21:24
  they are or they're like twin siblings that don't get along
• 21:29
  right. They're like exactly the same in
• 21:31
  most ways, but they but they maybe there, there can some
• 21:35
  sometimes be a little friction between the communities.
• 21:38
  But you're right. I mean, it's I, I think the
• 21:41
  driving force behind it is this is this reality that crypto
• 21:46
  investors and precious metals investors recognize and realize
• 21:49
  that like the Tranfi monetary system that's out there with
• 21:55
  printing the, you know, dollars or any of the Fiat currencies,
• 21:59
  the euro or the yen, any of it, it, it really doesn't make sense
• 22:05
  long term, right? And if you can find something
• 22:08
  that has value and, and is also scarce, right, it can't be
• 22:13
  printed. And I'll, I have to say it at
• 22:15
  least one time on every live stream that I do, and that is we
• 22:18
  can't make any more Unicorn fart dust.
• 22:20
  We have digital scarce. It's, it's a, it's a, it's a,
• 22:25
  you know, I think it's interesting because silver and
• 22:30
  gold are the oldest forms of money.
• 22:32
  They've been around for 4005 thousand years and crypto and
• 22:37
  UFD are kind of the newest forms of you would maybe use the word
• 22:41
  value, right? And, and, and those two areas
• 22:45
  are the ones that I've been most focused on.
• 22:48
  But you know, it's kind of AI don't know an irony or a paradox
• 22:51
  that that they both are are independent, which is the big
• 22:56
  thing from the Fiat system. So yeah, it's sorry I went on a
• 23:00
  little rant there, but it's something that I feel very
• 23:02
  passionately about. Yeah, I'm passionate about that
• 23:05
  well as well. And if you understand that an
• 23:10
  ounce of silver in your hands is important as a silver stacker
• 23:16
  and you also already understand that it is important that you
• 23:20
  have your crypto, your own wallets.
• 23:23
  And I think that's also unique about UFD that we have
• 23:28
  established this fantastic partners with Moon pay it also
• 23:33
  Ledger. And I move my body a bit in the
• 23:38
  middle. You see the the dusty in the
• 23:43
  middle of the screen. Actually, I use that as one of
• 23:47
  my pictures on my Ledger. So if anybody today has not
• 23:54
  protected their beans in a in a Ledger, I have gone through the
• 23:59
  process pretty late. I moved my beans in November.
• 24:04
  I was always a bit excited to do so.
• 24:08
  But when you went to the Paris Ledger meeting and the Nano Gen.
• 24:14
  5 Ledger came out, to be honest, even as a boomer it is so simple
• 24:23
  to install to work with and I had no stress whatsoever.
• 24:31
  So I have, I don't know, 90% of my beams safely stored in my
• 24:36
  Ledger and the other 10% I keep on the on the central exchange
• 24:43
  to to make moves in if if I want.
• 24:47
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ledger. And it's not just you.
• 24:50
  It's over 20% of the world's crypto is secured on Ledger and
• 24:56
  yeah, the Nano Gen. 5. And thank you for bringing this
• 24:59
  up, Vincent. The Nanogen 5 is awesome, but so
• 25:03
  is their new app, the Ledger Wallet.
• 25:05
  It allows people to do everything basically they need
• 25:07
  to do with crypto. And I love this little, little
• 25:10
  catch line they have now. Ledger is offering the
• 25:13
  convenience of a software wallet with the security of a hardware
• 25:17
  wallet. So yeah, then it's a big honor
• 25:21
  for us as a community and for me with Ron's basement to have
• 25:25
  Ledger supporting us and Moon Pay as well.
• 25:27
  I mean, Moon Pay. Moon Pay was my entry door into
• 25:30
  crypto. I mean, I, you know, 100%
• 25:34
  honest, 14 months ago right now, I knew nothing about crypto.
• 25:41
  Hold on. Sorry about that.
• 25:42
  Nothing about crypto and it really maybe heard of moon Pay,
• 25:46
  but didn't know who moon pay was.
• 25:48
  And you know, I did some research.
• 25:50
  Moon pay was my my first experience converting Fiat into
• 25:54
  crypto. And I think that for our
• 25:57
  community, as we've got a lot of other maybe boomers and even
• 26:00
  just new younger people who want to get into Unicorn fart dust,
• 26:05
  it's a real easy entry entry ramp to get people into our
• 26:09
  community. So yeah, I mean, we are
• 26:11
  affiliated with two of the best companies.
• 26:14
  You know the other thing I want to point out about Moon Pay and
• 26:17
  Ledger. Oh, hold on one.
• 26:20
  Susie just said something Vince, but I want to .1 more thing out
• 26:23
  about Moon paying ledgers. These are companies that are
• 26:26
  actually adding value to crypto. There's so much extraction that
• 26:29
  goes on in the world of crypto. But like both, you know, Ledger
• 26:33
  obviously helping with security and all the other things they're
• 26:36
  doing and Moon Pay bringing new people in and hold on one second
• 26:40
  upstairs, Susie had something to say.
• 26:43
  I didn't hear you, Susie. Over.
• 26:46
  The bullion duster. If he goes, his friends ever
• 26:50
  call him Vince or Vinny. Or does he just go by Vincent?
• 26:55
  OK. Did you hear that's a tricky
• 26:59
  question, Susie, So call me Vincent.
• 27:04
  The the bullion duster, the bullion is a bit related to
• 27:09
  that. I'm a stacker.
• 27:10
  The duster of course I'm related to to EU of D community with
• 27:16
  actually some of my study friends called me a Cousin
• 27:20
  Vinny. That was a movie long time ago.
• 27:23
  But please don't call me Vinny. I'm Vincent.
• 27:27
  OK, so we're going to call you Vinny from now on.
• 27:29
  What is your mother? What does your mother call you?
• 27:32
  What does your mother call you, Vincent?
• 27:35
  Oh, she's calling me Vin. VIN.
• 27:38
  So that's, that's the short version.
• 27:40
  And my mum, by the way, is doing pretty well.
• 27:44
  She had some big health issues. We had to move her a few weeks
• 27:49
  ago from her house to an elderly home.
• 27:53
  But she's she very happy. And that is maybe also a bit of
• 27:57
  a message always. We always think that people
• 28:01
  somewhere else have a happy life.
• 28:03
  Everybody saying, oh, Vincent is happily travelling all the world
• 28:07
  to be almost. We all have, we all have our
• 28:10
  struggles and that makes us this fantastic community.
• 28:19
  Sometimes I have a call with Brazilian Jack or another
• 28:22
  friends in the UFD and that makes the the the the the
• 28:27
  community pretty strong and we take care of each other one.
• 28:32
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
• 28:34
  One more side question about your mother.
• 28:37
  And I'm glad to hear she's doing better.
• 28:38
  And Susie piped in here and said she was glad to hear as well if
• 28:42
  your mom was is hanging out with a couple of her friends, maybe
• 28:46
  having lunch, and all the mothers are bragging about their
• 28:49
  sons. What's what?
• 28:50
  What's one or two things your mom's going to say about you,
• 28:53
  Vincent, as she's bragging to her friends about her son Ben?
• 28:58
  Yeah. So I think she's really proud on
• 29:04
  what I am doing, but she's always smiling that I always
• 29:10
  change the world. So I am, I have been site
• 29:14
  manager in the past, I have been in various roles, but after
• 29:18
  three or four years, I want to do something new.
• 29:21
  So my mom is always very proudly saying, Oh, my son is doing
• 29:25
  this, this and this, but in the two or three years time he's
• 29:29
  doing something different that is.
• 29:31
  So I'm looking for new experiences and new people, new
• 29:36
  processes. And that is probably the reason
• 29:40
  why I joined UFD. As I told, I was already three
• 29:45
  years into your silver podcast room and when you initiated UFDI
• 29:51
  was to be almost scratching my hat.
• 29:53
  But within two weeks I still remember the first beans I
• 29:59
  bought. I bought hundreds of dollars of
• 30:01
  U of D's beans on 2nd Christmas evening in 24 and since then I
• 30:09
  have gradually building up my my my my my pot of of beans and I'm
• 30:18
  now pretty sizable narwhal. But this was a really a
• 30:23
  conscious decision. So I'm a bit overexposed to
• 30:26
  silver and UFD, and UFD is my only meme coin.
• 30:31
  I've not invested in any other meme coin.
• 30:36
  And you know what, Vincent, you are a great representation of
• 30:41
  what I believe is a UFD superpower, OK?
• 30:44
  You are a successful person, very successful.
• 30:48
  You want good in the world, right?
• 30:50
  In your accomplishing so much. I love what your mom would have
• 30:53
  said about you because I agree with it 100%.
• 30:56
  But you know what? It's not just then for the win.
• 30:59
  OK, boy, Susie's piping in, she says then, then for the win.
• 31:03
  But I mean, seriously, think about it.
• 31:04
  And I and I don't, and I'm not putting any other communities
• 31:07
  down. But it it, it.
• 31:10
  And it's not just you. There's many other people in UFD
• 31:14
  and we've got young people. We've got people older than you
• 31:17
  and I, but the you really represent what I think is like a
• 31:23
  superpower within our project, right?
• 31:25
  Like how many other projects have just the quality of people,
• 31:30
  overall quality of people that we have in UFDI.
• 31:34
  Don't want to be negative, but when I look at some of the other
• 31:36
  meme coins and what those communities are doing and you
• 31:40
  know, you know, all the dastardly deeds that go on and
• 31:42
  and a lot of these coins and, and, and when I compare, you
• 31:47
  know, I'll just throw out some names.
• 31:49
  Cuban Pete, the bean crypt wizard.
• 31:53
  I mean, there's so many I can't exit fixless.
• 31:56
  I mean there's so many Georgie, just I mean, and please,
• 31:58
  everybody out there, you know, I'm thinking of you as well.
• 32:00
  Like these are really good quality people that are like the
• 32:04
  core of UFD. And then there's the outer
• 32:07
  layers of other really great people as well that maybe aren't
• 32:10
  so involved. But there's no other, you know,
• 32:13
  I mean, like we are like, like I, I don't know how to put it
• 32:17
  into words. I mean, but we've, we've got
• 32:19
  like we're very unusual, I think within the crypto world in a
• 32:24
  very good way and that we've got some very good people and it
• 32:28
  attracts more and more good people, you know.
• 32:30
  Just well, I, I fully, I fully agree.
• 32:33
  And I, I, I, I think we have quality people, but we also have
• 32:39
  quality memes. And of course, quality attracts
• 32:43
  quality good attracts good. We have world class memes,
• 32:49
  fantastic videos. I was not exposed to NFTS, but
• 32:57
  now I have about 15 NFTS from Gimmicks and Neeru and Georgie
• 33:07
  was laughing when she gave me the first NFT as a kind of a
• 33:13
  present. Yes, here I am.
• 33:16
  I am having now more than two NFTS.
• 33:18
  I have about 15, something like that.
• 33:22
  And sometimes people say memes are a joke, but actually they
• 33:29
  are very important because they are our way of staying
• 33:33
  connected. It is our humor.
• 33:35
  It is how we keep the community strong in the days like today.
• 33:43
  Because being a duster is not always easier.
• 33:47
  My most difficult moments have been a few weeks ago when the
• 33:53
  price drops below $0.01 and to 8 cents and then you are
• 33:57
  scratching like marvel my my my head.
• 34:04
  But I kept the trust in the community and those are the
• 34:08
  moments I think I have been building my future prosperity.
• 34:12
  It has not been easy run, but ultimately the trust in you, the
• 34:18
  trust in the community, the trust in the quality memes make
• 34:23
  me where I am. I am very, very confident in the
• 34:27
  success of UFD and I believe that at a certain moment lots of
• 34:33
  capital maybe from gold and silver stackers might come
• 34:40
  partly to UFD. Because when at a certain moment
• 34:45
  people feel like, well, this asset class has really reached
• 34:49
  its highs and people start to move their investments partly to
• 34:56
  other asset classes. People are always looking to
• 35:00
  relative strengths. I look to the relative strengths
• 35:04
  of silver to gold and at a certain moment I rotate my
• 35:07
  silver into gold and maybe in the future I do it back.
• 35:11
  And I think that that will the same happen to UFD and we will
• 35:16
  attract more and more people to the community.
• 35:20
  Yeah, Yep. There's nothing more powerful in
• 35:22
  the world than community, period.
• 35:25
  Whether you're talking about a church, community, a country you
• 35:28
  live in the net, net going to be able to go to.
• 35:32
  OK, Susie wants. Yeah, I'll, I'll ask him.
• 35:34
  I will ask him. Susie, I got a question for you
• 35:37
  from Susie. I want to I want the queen.
• 35:40
  I want to make this point, though.
• 35:42
  There's nothing more powerful than community period out there.
• 35:46
  The other thing that I think, and I agree with you, you know,
• 35:50
  two years ago, I wouldn't have really thought ever really
• 35:53
  thought about this, but memes are powerful.
• 35:56
  You know, I mean, you can say even things like Santa Claus is
• 36:00
  a meme, right? I mean, it's a, it's a story,
• 36:03
  It's a, it's a, it's kind of a, an image that we, we all have in
• 36:06
  our head, a lot of us that are in the West and it's a powerful,
• 36:10
  powerful image of the, I hear David Gopstein talks about the
• 36:14
  in the United States, there's this TV commercial that we all
• 36:17
  have to watch about 6 times a day about the GEICO gecko, which
• 36:21
  is this lizard that's from GEICO.
• 36:23
  I mean, like these things are real.
• 36:26
  But the other thing that I think is powerful Vincent, about our
• 36:29
  project as well, really about our project is not only are we
• 36:33
  super high quality like we already talked about, but we're
• 36:36
  also very simple, right? Memes are simple and you know,
• 36:40
  we aren't some complicated concept or some complicated, you
• 36:44
  know, mind numbing technology that most people can't
• 36:48
  understand. That is people, more and more
• 36:50
  people come into crypto and get interested in things like memes
• 36:54
  and memes become more and more easily accessible.
• 36:57
  Like now, you know, people can are, are, are starting to be
• 37:02
  able to buy our coin on a coin base, for instance, that that
• 37:05
  they're going to gravitate toward good memes that are
• 37:09
  simple and improving themselves to be reliable and safe as well.
• 37:14
  Yeah, I agree. And I also want to give a big
• 37:19
  thumbs up for the team who has been working so hard to build
• 37:24
  our IP room. You see, on the background of
• 37:28
  ME3 examples, someone in the community made this fantastic.
• 37:35
  I think it is Paladin. They made this fantastic Dusty
• 37:39
  on the bridge in Amsterdam, but it is fairly recognizable UFD.
• 37:46
  But people in the community adapted.
• 37:50
  They put a nice background and I think that is really unique of
• 37:55
  the current memes in the UFD. Soon I will be watching a lot of
• 38:00
  the Winter Games in Italy. Some of you know, I love to ski,
• 38:05
  but I also love to see the Winter Games on television
• 38:09
  because the Dutch team are very famous ice skaters.
• 38:14
  And I made this of course, with the use of with some artificial
• 38:21
  intelligence, I made this very easy meme of Dusty with the
• 38:27
  official mascot of the Olympic Games.
• 38:31
  And it is very recognizable. And assume in China they will
• 38:36
  celebrate the actually that's a fact, the New Year's of the Fire
• 38:42
  Horse. And of course, I made it. 76 is
• 38:46
  the year of the Unicorn. The bridge to silver and gold is
• 38:52
  that I let the Unicorn sit on a pile of silver and gold coins.
• 38:58
  So it's very easy to make very recognizable brands of UFD in
• 39:05
  our memes. And again, a big thumbs up to
• 39:10
  the team who has been working so hard.
• 39:13
  A lot of teams also worked on getting our IP on all the
• 39:18
  central exchanges so very quickly.
• 39:22
  Now you see our official IP on all the official web pages and
• 39:27
  lists of memes we are are are are comparing ourselves to.
• 39:33
  Yeah. And and I probably don't say it
• 39:36
  enough, but, but you're absolutely correct.
• 39:39
  There are teams of people and there's, you know, some
• 39:43
  structure that's being put in place, but there are just so
• 39:47
  many people that are working super hard on this project,
• 39:51
  right. I mean, I think I get I'm I
• 39:53
  guess from a human perspective, one of the more recognizable
• 39:57
  faces, although your face resilient Jack, a lot of
• 40:00
  Georgie, a lot of other people are are becoming recognized as
• 40:04
  being. I guess you would say core
• 40:06
  community members, leaders, whatever you want to say, like
• 40:09
  people that are out there working and it's a, there's a,
• 40:12
  and there's a lot of other people that are stay that stay
• 40:16
  under the radar screen that have donated a lot of time and a lot
• 40:20
  of resources to get us where we are right now.
• 40:23
  I sit down here in the basement every day and I think people,
• 40:26
  you know, but please realize and, and the other message I'll
• 40:29
  have for everybody out there is if you want to be involved, this
• 40:32
  project is, is decentralized, right?
• 40:35
  I mean, this is an opportunity. I tell people all the time if
• 40:38
  you want to do a UFD live stream every day like I do, go for it.
• 40:42
  I would love it. You know, I always use DJ Litmus
• 40:46
  as an example, but you know, I mean, there's so many, so many
• 40:50
  avenues for people to get involved and to make a real,
• 40:54
  real material difference in in what we're doing so.
• 40:59
  Yeah, there's so many people passionately working for the UFD
• 41:03
  and as Jack Resilience always says to us, we need to work for
• 41:07
  our backs. And then you have found your
• 41:10
  passion how to contribute to UFD.
• 41:13
  There's always an opportunity to to to help to help growing the
• 41:20
  brand of UFD. Yeah, and you know what, so
• 41:24
  important to realize as well as you pointed out all these
• 41:27
  different memes, our new IP, which is awesome.
• 41:31
  That was my Nehru created that and and and gimmicks helped out
• 41:35
  as well. Did the lettering, the NF TS.
• 41:38
  But you know, the idea, the Unicorn fart dust brand, it's
• 41:43
  staggering to think the exposure that it's gotten and will
• 41:47
  continue to get right that that like there's a marketing rule
• 41:51
  that I read recently that they've done studies that it
• 41:55
  takes like 6 or seven impressions for a person to then
• 41:59
  make a decision about something. And we've got all these
• 42:02
  impressions, I mean, millions of impressions going out all around
• 42:06
  the world. And what feels really good about
• 42:08
  it is it is, you know, still genuinely based on fairness,
• 42:13
  honesty, integrity, openness. And in a place where people can
• 42:18
  come and get involved and feel connected.
• 42:20
  Be part of a club, be part of a, a herd, be part of whatever you
• 42:24
  want to say. And that's a powerful thing
• 42:26
  because humans want that. We want to be part of something.
• 42:30
  We want to be involved with something.
• 42:33
  It's just one of our basic human needs.
• 42:35
  Yeah. And I think that is that will be
• 42:37
  the big difference I think in between the the early 25 hype we
• 42:42
  saw in the UFD and hopefully the next hype periods.
• 42:49
  But I call it positive. I think in the next cycle,
• 42:55
  people in crypto are looking and are using a bit more of their
• 43:00
  brains. They are looking for coins they
• 43:04
  can trust and products they can trust.
• 43:07
  Rome, and that will be the difference.
• 43:10
  And I think you brought in something fairly unique.
• 43:14
  Then you built U of D in the in 24 and December to be almost all
• 43:22
  the other memes around us were just rug pools.
• 43:25
  They disappeared within one hour 1 day, one week.
• 43:30
  We are still here and we have established us as a meme coin
• 43:36
  with good good values and a trusted projects and as long as
• 43:42
  we do the good things, I think we will attract more good people
• 43:48
  into this project and we build the future of prosperity for the
• 43:54
  next generation. Yeah, yeah, well, and I, and I
• 43:56
  hear it all the time, OK, People tell me at big events where I'm
• 44:01
  meeting like, you know, high power, however you want to say
• 44:04
  people in the world of crypto. I, I, I've heard this said over
• 44:08
  and over, like if, if crypto is going to do well, Unicorn fart
• 44:12
  dust has to do well. Because, you know, look, you
• 44:16
  know, if we want more and more people to come into crypto, like
• 44:20
  you said, they need to feel like, like what they're getting
• 44:23
  involved in is safe and is reliable and that there are good
• 44:27
  people in the world of crypto. And I think that we're proving
• 44:31
  that everyday. I appreciate what you said about
• 44:34
  what I created, but the real truth, Vincent, is the fact that
• 44:38
  I spawned it. It was an experiment.
• 44:41
  The community really created this.
• 44:44
  I will take credit for, you know, keeping my word and
• 44:48
  treating other people the way that I would want to be treated.
• 44:52
  I did my part right. Like I, I kept that line, which
• 44:56
  is easy to do, right? That's the, you know, to me, I
• 44:59
  always say it's a lot easier in life to be honest and have
• 45:02
  integrity and it feels better. But what's really happened here
• 45:06
  and the reason why you and I are sitting here one year later is
• 45:09
  because of people like you and the people like, like the person
• 45:13
  out there, the 200 people right now that are watching this live
• 45:17
  or the thousands that will watch the recording, it happened
• 45:20
  because of them. And that's a real, real,
• 45:22
  powerful force. Yeah.
• 45:25
  And I'm really looking forward to to meet you soon, hopefully
• 45:30
  face to face in America's when there is this big Vegas events
• 45:36
  in the in the April. And I hope we can we can build
• 45:41
  stronger bonds and hopefully more distress will come to that
• 45:47
  event. I also understood that there
• 45:50
  will be maybe a future Europe event.
• 45:54
  I think the connector is trying to set up an event in Greece,
• 45:58
  but I'm also very happy to invite other European industries
• 46:02
  into the lovely country of the Netherlands one.
• 46:06
  Yeah, yeah, that would be awesome.
• 46:08
  Hey do you have do you have like 4 more minutes for me?
• 46:11
  Yeah, I'm OK all. Right.
• 46:12
  I want to show everybody we've got a big contest going on right
• 46:16
  now, the dust, the Destiny contest.
• 46:20
  Georgie is doing a great job with that.
• 46:22
  You can go to her profile, Georgie at Georgie 420 to learn
• 46:27
  all about it. It's open through the 22nd,
• 46:30
  which I believe is Thursday, and it's a contest with some great
• 46:35
  prizes. You can read all about it where
• 46:37
  people are encouraged to create memes, videos, anything they
• 46:40
  like kind of explaining or demonstrating their experience
• 46:46
  with UFD over the last year. We got an entry here from Mia
• 46:50
  that I want to share real quickly and then we've got one
• 46:54
  more to look at as well. All right, check that out.
• 46:59
  It's raining Fiat onto the onto the Unicorn.
• 47:03
  And then we have this one here who is from our friend five O 8,
• 47:10
  and this is this is a great example.
• 47:12
  Their very first ever meme, my very first ever.
• 47:15
  Good luck to everyone and let me play this real quickly.
• 47:18
  It's 10 seconds long. How?
• 47:20
  Many coins which death upon me for are dusting.
• 47:22
  My eyes dog and I can't see. I'm trying to beat what I'm
• 47:24
  dusting to beat and rug is trying to take my liquidity
• 47:26
  away. Yeah hold on Maine blue can't
• 47:27
  stop this vibe glitter in the air when the base collide.
• 47:30
  How many coins which death upon me for are dusting?
• 47:31
  OK. There we go.
• 47:33
  Hold on. Let me get back to Vincent.
• 47:35
  Make sure we're still here. All right, Vincent.
• 47:38
  So that's what's going on. What did I forget to ask you?
• 47:41
  What did I forget to bring up? Well, we plan to talk a bit
• 47:45
  about the diamond roofs in the in the in the community to be
• 47:51
  almost the top 250 narwhals keep extremely strong.
• 47:57
  They still own sixty 155 millions of our beans.
• 48:02
  So that is almost 70% of of our fixed beans supply and the
• 48:09
  percentage diamond hooves in the top 250 stays fairly stable at
• 48:15
  70%, the gold at 8% and the silver at 4%.
• 48:20
  So we have more than 82% of our beans in the top 250 in, in
• 48:28
  pretty strong hands. And that makes us unique
• 48:32
  compared to other meme coins. And that also shows the trust.
• 48:37
  The size of your back doesn't matter.
• 48:39
  But of course it matters that our narwhals have the trust in
• 48:45
  the in the projects and continue to hold so strong together with
• 48:49
  everybody in the community. And you are holding the pots
• 48:55
  room and in silver, we say there's a silver shortage.
• 48:59
  So currently there's the silver squeeze and our digital squeeze
• 49:03
  in UFD. We call, of course, at the
• 49:05
  Monopoly. So I hope you go to Valhalla.
• 49:10
  Valhalla, we'll do Valhalla in a second.
• 49:13
  So I want to circle back to what you just said.
• 49:15
  So this jug represents all the UFD coins, we call them beans
• 49:20
  that are ever in existence. You said that the top 250
• 49:24
  wallets alone own what percentage of the beans?
• 49:28
  It's six 655,000,000 beans and that is basically 65%, but
• 49:37
  because the number of outstanding beans is a bit less,
• 49:40
  I think it is very close to 70%. So the top 250 wallets owned and
• 49:46
  again this white line here represents all the UFD tokens
• 49:50
  that are available period. They own almost 765 to 70% And
• 49:56
  then of those holders almost in terms of ones that have held for
• 50:03
  over 90 days, you said 70% of those. 70%, so that is fairly
• 50:09
  strong and if you include the gold and the silver diamond
• 50:15
  handed, then the percentage is 82%.
• 50:19
  So very close to 90% of the beans are very strongly helped
• 50:24
  by the community. And, and and that doesn't even
• 50:27
  include all the other, the other, you know, 300 and 50
• 50:32
  million beans that aren't in the top 250 wallets.
• 50:35
  Some of those have been held also for more than 90 days.
• 50:39
  So, yeah, we've got some like pretty extraordinary data when
• 50:43
  it comes to to the people that are buying diamond hoove dusters
• 50:47
  as we like to call them. Absolutely.
• 50:50
  And like you said, eventually we'll get to a bean shortage.
• 50:53
  And then please excuse me, Vincent, but I'm going to shake
• 50:56
  the beans because then we can get to as our friend Brazilian
• 50:59
  Jack likes to refer to it, but. Wait a minute, I always often I
• 51:10
  hear you doing this in my car and I always need to smile and
• 51:15
  we still need to do the three seconds smile upon that's.
• 51:19
  Right, well, and just so everybody knows, when Vincent
• 51:21
  visited me here, he brought this little thing of Jelly Bean.
• 51:24
  So we're going to shake that as well.
• 51:26
  Yeah, Let's do a three second smile before we before we smile,
• 51:29
  before we smile off. Sign off when I say go, let's
• 51:33
  all smile for three seconds. That's something we like to do
• 51:36
  123-GO. That's fantastic and I'll bring
• 51:42
  this over the weekend. I bring Dusty to China.
• 51:46
  Look forward to see some images from China and Hong Kong with me
• 51:52
  and Dusty traveling over there. Yeah, yeah.
• 51:55
