Transcript
- 0:16Hey guys, welcome to the live stream.
- 0:18Welcome to the basement. You're looking at our friend
- 0:20Vincent. We are continuing our dusters
- 0:23around the World Series where we're talking to UFD key
- 0:27community members that are spread all around the globe
- 0:30today. It's a big pleasure for us to be
- 0:33joined by Vincent, also known as the Bullion Duster within our
- 0:37UFD community. He's joining us all the way from
- 0:40the the The Netherlands. Easy for me to say.
- 0:43Vincent, welcome back to the basement.
- 0:45You were here in person a little under a year ago and now we're
- 0:48connecting electronically. How are you doing, Sir?
- 0:52Yeah, thank you, Ron. I hope everybody can hear me
- 0:56well. I'm doing very well.
- 0:59I had some very busy travel the last weeks and soon I will be
- 1:04travelling with Dusty to China, by the way.
- 1:09But I'm doing very well and I feel excited and very happy to
- 1:14be in this live stream, Ron And of course, a year ago when I I
- 1:19believe it was March, I was face to face live with you in the in,
- 1:26in the basement. Yeah.
- 1:28It feels so different to be almost, I feel almost more
- 1:31excited today because when I was in the basement, actually your
- 1:37presence made me very comfortable.
- 1:40Ron Yeah. And.
- 1:42And you, you brought these from the airport.
- 1:45So everybody knows Vincent is a very accomplished professional
- 1:50in a, in just, you know, it's a big, big honor to have you here.
- 1:54You travel the world for business.
- 1:56I know and, and always find time every day to be engaged with the
- 2:01UFD community and, and also provide us with some
- 2:05unbelievable data, which we'll talk about a little bit later as
- 2:08well. And yeah, it's you're one of the
- 2:12the handful of dusters who was right here physically with me.
- 2:16And that was a big honor. And I think it, it says a lot
- 2:19about our community of the friendships and the connections
- 2:22that we've made with each other. But again, and then I'm going to
- 2:25be quiet and let you talk. But this is all around the
- 2:29world. I mean, we appeal to people in
- 2:33Europe like you in the Netherlands, people in Africa,
- 2:36South America, North America, you name it, Africa.
- 2:39I mean, everywhere we, you know, people can access our community
- 2:43and be part of what we're doing. Yeah, Roman, I was actually
- 2:49already in your basement two years before you started UFD.
- 2:55You were on my way to the office.
- 2:58I already was listening at a daily basis to your silver live
- 3:03streams. And I've learned a lot from you.
- 3:07And actually, I've been building my stack of silver in the last
- 3:13years actually based on your experience, but also your
- 3:19deflections on the, on the, on the world's economy.
- 3:23And to be honest, the today's economies are flabbergasting.
- 3:27We have, we have this Greenland crisis today.
- 3:33We are seeing silver and gold at all time highs.
- 3:38We are seeing Bitcoin and UFD today, a bit hits, but I believe
- 3:44and maybe we can talk about that later today, I believe we have
- 3:48an extreme resilient community and we are here to stay on.
- 3:57Yeah. I, I, I agree with you 100%.
- 3:59And, and I want to get your perspective as somebody in
- 4:02Europe, because I'm reading that this Greenland situation is a
- 4:07big, big deal to Europeans. Like maybe they're not too happy
- 4:11about what's going on there. Is that a a fair assessment of
- 4:15the feeling that you're getting being someone who's in Europe?
- 4:19Yeah, to almost home. Let's not talk too much
- 4:22politics, but I I brought I brought some silver coins.
- 4:29These are 75 Morgan and peace dollars.
- 4:34And I emphasize the words peace and then Europe.
- 4:38Of course, we have a long history of collaborating well
- 4:44with the United States, but I think the opinion currently is
- 4:50that Mister Trump is a bit randomly shooting at, at, at
- 4:56Greenland. He wants to buy it.
- 4:59He wants to acquire it just, and I read that today just because
- 5:04he didn't get the, the, the Nobel Prize Prize.
- 5:09So I, I think the Europeans take this fairly serious, but also
- 5:16sometimes with a bit of a smile, but take it fairly serious and
- 5:21the markets are taking it serious as well because a silver
- 5:26I think did go to $90.00 an ounce gold is testing 4000
- 5:34several 100. So I think we will remember 26
- 5:39as a very, very special year. Yeah, you know, and, and I think
- 5:44that the situation with Greenland actually says
- 5:47something powerful about Unicorn fart dust in our community as
- 5:52well. Because I've, I've said this a
- 5:54lot over the last month or so that like when we come together
- 5:58as part of UFD, we, we set aside a lot of our political beliefs,
- 6:03a lot of our individual like things that can be galvanizing.
- 6:07Whether you're a, a, a very conservative person, excuse me,
- 6:11or you're very liberal, or you are in the United States or
- 6:16you're in Europe like you and I are together.
- 6:19That's a great example. You and I are together right now
- 6:22as friends within the UFD community.
- 6:25And you aren't mad at me because I'm an American and we aren't
- 6:29arguing about whether or not Trump is good or bad and
- 6:32Greenland blah, blah. Like we're we set those things
- 6:35aside and come together, you know, because we have this joint
- 6:39mission within UFD. Does that make sense?
- 6:41Does that? I think that's one of the more
- 6:43powerful. And then I want to get your I'm
- 6:45going to have two, two prong question.
- 6:47Then I want to get your perspective because you've
- 6:49traveled literally, it feels like to me everywhere in the
- 6:53world, OK, pretty much a lot of places.
- 6:56And and do you think that most people in the world are good
- 7:00hearted? I know you were in, I think was
- 7:02it Pakistan lately? Or maybe sure.
- 7:04I don't know. Some like really what to me seem
- 7:07like exotic places and I see you with a smile on your face with
- 7:11people on the street. Like do you feel like like
- 7:14generally most people in the world are really good hearted
- 7:16people? Vincent.
- 7:18Well, let's just start with your last question because I'm
- 7:21passionate about that. And maybe to build some context,
- 7:26I, I do now work for an American company actually we produce
- 7:33labels for the T-shirts and for all kinds of apparel.
- 7:38And I am the global environmental health and safety
- 7:43director. And basically my role and the
- 7:47role of my team is to lead safety and environmental
- 7:52practice to leading levels. And we know you can also, you
- 7:56can only go to leading levels when we are driving culture and
- 8:01we are people centric. And sometimes I do get this
- 8:07question, Vincent, to which country do you travel?
- 8:13Where do you really like to travel and which people do you
- 8:17like the most? And to be honest, my answer is
- 8:19always I like to go to all the countries because to be honest,
- 8:24all the people take care for their colleagues and all the
- 8:28people take care for their friends.
- 8:30So I'm one of those persons who believe in the goods of the
- 8:34people. And that is why I was attracted
- 8:37by your purpose. You, you invented for you have
- 8:42the good attracts goods because it's very close to to my
- 8:48purpose. Well.
- 8:50Yeah, yeah. I mean, people everywhere.
- 8:53And I think that's a powerful force and advantage that we have
- 8:57with UFD, right. Like we aren't, we aren't
- 8:59focused on one niche of, of, of of a community.
- 9:02We aren't focused on, you know, a specific hobby or a specific,
- 9:08a celebrity or a specific political movement or anything
- 9:11like that. We're focused on the fact that
- 9:14most people in the world that I think the vast majority are good
- 9:19and, and want good things to happen and want peace and want,
- 9:22you know, camaraderie and to be part of a community.
- 9:26And, and the fact that we are also available everywhere in the
- 9:30world, right? You don't have to have a bank
- 9:31account. You don't have to have a big
- 9:33investment account or anything like that.
- 9:35We're accessible to all these people.
- 9:38We think over time as we continue down this Rd. little by
- 9:41little is going to be a big competitive advantage for our
- 9:45for our project. Yeah, I agree.
- 9:48Well, then we, we, we, we like, like the silver community.
- 9:52I feel we have a pretty resilient community.
- 9:57When I joined the silver community, sometimes I was
- 10:00scratching my head. Will this price of silver ever
- 10:04go up? And compared to two or three
- 10:08years ago, we doubled or quad tripled the price of silver.
- 10:14By the way, I'm not looking too much to the price, but to be
- 10:17honest, silver has been horizontal for quite a long
- 10:20time. And then boom, the, the, the,
- 10:24the context in the world changes.
- 10:26We see a lot of depths in Americas.
- 10:28We see a lot of uncertainty in the world and whenever there's
- 10:33uncertainty, a lot of people choose for safety and that is
- 10:40the reason why they move to precious metals.
- 10:44And that is also why I believe more and more people will find a
- 10:49way to UFD because I almost see UFD as silver 2.0.
- 10:56It is the safe harbor in the in, in crypto.
- 11:01And I see in our community that we are taking care whenever we
- 11:06see on the on the trend line, we are missing some people.
- 11:10There's always someone asking, hey, how is this and this person
- 11:14doing? And then there's always a Death
- 11:17Star who says, hey, I will contact the person just to ask
- 11:22how they are doing. So in UFD, we are taking care
- 11:27for the community for the long term.
- 11:30I'm not here as a crypto trader. I'm, I'm really silver bullion
- 11:36owner. I'm here for the longer time and
- 11:41the same I apply in the UFD. Well, I I'm not a crypto trader.
- 11:47I'm here for the long term, yeah.
- 11:50Yeah, you know, I'm not a crypto trader either.
- 11:53I've bought Solana and I've bought UFD and I've held I used
- 11:59Solana to buy UFD. I'm not a a quick trader and I
- 12:03think that's another unique and we'll talk about this a little
- 12:06bit later. I want to, I want to talk a
- 12:07little bit about the Co relations and the similarities
- 12:10that I see between crypto, UFD and and precious metals, But I
- 12:17think that's another kind of defining quality of UFD is that
- 12:22sure, there's traders out there and that's great.
- 12:24You know, I used to trade when I was younger.
- 12:27I had to learn my lessons. I'm a what I consider to be an
- 12:30investor, right? Like buy and hold, find
- 12:33something you believe in. I bought silver over the years.
- 12:37I don't keep it here at my house, but I've acquired, you
- 12:40know, some silver. There's I've never sold an ounce
- 12:42of silver. Never.
- 12:43I don't know that I ever will. I look at it as generational.
- 12:46I kind of look at UFD in that same way.
- 12:50Like I don't have, like people ask me, well, when are you going
- 12:52to 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.
- 12:58It's something that I, that I believe in that that has a, a
- 13:03finite, A finite number of coins out there.
- 13:07And like you said, with the community and what the community
- 13:11is doing, I think that there's great value to be harvested and
- 13:16almost infinite value to be created because of the community
- 13:21as we head down the road. You know, you mentioned UFD and
- 13:26I think you referred to it almost like digital silver.
- 13:29And it's interesting that when I created the original UFD meme,
- 13:33now we've since moved on. We have our own, you know, IP
- 13:36that we own. But the original meme was the
- 13:39little foam key chain. Here's what here it is right
- 13:42here, the original sitting on top of Hey there they are High 5
- 13:47buddy, sitting on top of two American Silver Eagle coins.
- 13:52Yeah, and I, I like it. And I, I got this as a present.
- 13:57This is my squeezy or my dusty, which is travelling all the
- 14:03world with me. Ron, actually, I think you
- 14:07signed it on the bottom. There is a coat underneath it.
- 14:10So it has a special coat from you.
- 14:13Thank you. This is a unique collector's
- 14:15item and for today I I brought to silver coins.
- 14:22Actually I bought I think from the US Mint.
- 14:27They are called 25 Morgan and Peace dollar coins and they are
- 14:33reverse proof to coin set. They look fabulous.
- 14:38They were way too expensive. So I normally don't buy any
- 14:44silver with a lot of premium. Maybe the premium here was 50%
- 14:49from the US Mint. But to be honest, price in
- 14:52silver has gone up like hell in the last weeks.
- 14:56And actually I think the US Mint communicated last week that they
- 15:03had to re evaluate the price and they I think doubled more than
- 15:09doubled the price. They are currently asking for
- 15:12these beautiful coins. And the reason I bought them is
- 15:17I think 25 will be a memorable year and 25 has been a memorable
- 15:23year. That is why I wanted to buy
- 15:25them. And they are sitting together on
- 15:28my desk when I'm in the office with with Dusty looking to why
- 15:34how I'm doing my work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 15:36Well, and you know, if they if they call Bitcoin digital gold,
- 15:40which is a common thing that I've heard over the years, I
- 15:45feel very confident referring to Unicorn fart dust as digital
- 15:49silver because the available supply of silver is very
- 15:54constrained and the available supply of Unicorn fart dust is
- 15:58very constrained as well. And again, I want to ask you
- 16:01about your read on the data that comes through.
- 16:04The other thing I want to draw and I want to share with the
- 16:07viewers, because most of our viewers are from our UFD
- 16:10community as we're doing this live stream is that and, and
- 16:14Vincent touched on this. I was in the silver community
- 16:18really for decades and got really involved probably 5 or 6
- 16:22years ago. And the way that I feel about
- 16:25UFD right now is very similar to the way that I felt about
- 16:30silver. Just my opinion.
- 16:32I'm not a financial advisor any of that great stuff, but the
- 16:35same way that I I felt about silver two or three years ago
- 16:39where I knew that there was so much value there, but the market
- 16:44wasn't necessarily reflecting that.
- 16:47And and that's the exact same way right now that I feel about
- 16:51UFD and I get even a little more excited because I love the
- 16:56silver community. I have wonderful friends.
- 16:58I love silver. I just do.
- 17:00I love gold too. But I'm really have always been
- 17:02a silver guy. And I can tell you that with Web
- 17:043 and even silver, right at the end of the day, yeah, Silvers
- 17:09physical UFD is purely digital, no doubt.
- 17:13But at the end of the day, value, even with silver is
- 17:17created by a community of people in the world that are, that are,
- 17:21that are agreeing that it's that that much that valuable.
- 17:25And when I look at the UFD community with Web 3 and, and
- 17:29because there's a, there is a difference between, you know,
- 17:32Web 3 and kind of the Web 2 communities, like the, the UFD
- 17:37community is deep and in crypto, right?
- 17:40I know that Bitcoin, that's what made Bitcoin so successful was
- 17:44the depth and the belief of the community.
- 17:46And when I look at what how deeply ingrained and connected
- 17:52the UFD community is, it's like nothing that I've ever seen,
- 17:55which makes me even more optimistic on a personal level
- 17:59about UFD. Yeah, I like your comments.
- 18:04One, I think to almost both groups have so much more in
- 18:10common than they differ. So I think whether you trust
- 18:16the, the yellow gold or the white silver or the digital UFDI
- 18:23think it is about having a bit of healthy distrust against the
- 18:30Fiat, the, the, the basically our money, which is just
- 18:35becoming Unicorn fart, just worthless paper.
- 18:41And I think that is the, the, the commonality in between the
- 18:48silver and and the UFD community.
- 18:52And we take control in our own destiny.
- 18:57You call it the destiny. And, and I think that is a
- 19:01really a good idea. Rotate some of your Fiat in
- 19:06gold, silver and limited crypto. Invest in the crypto where you
- 19:13know the owners will not wreck you.
- 19:17That is, I think also unique about UFD.
- 19:21We are the trusted coin. We have been surviving 25.
- 19:28We we are still here for 13 months while 99% of all the
- 19:36crypto created in 25 have been disappearing on So we we are an
- 19:44established top 20 mean coin and we are here to stay.
- 19:52Yeah, they're calling us. They're calling us a blue chip
- 19:55meme coin. They're calling us in OG, which
- 19:58my friend Georgie 420 kindly educated me on that OG stands
- 20:04for Original Gangster, and that's apparently indigent.
- 20:08Like, like the blue chip term is trad Phi, you know, stock
- 20:12market. You know, IBM when I grew up was
- 20:15a blue chip stock. Kodak, Apple and Microsoft are
- 20:18probably blue chip stocks now. The more degen crypto side of
- 20:23things refers to Unicorn fart dust as OG, right?
- 20:27Original gangster. Like where we've been around,
- 20:30everybody knows about us. Everybody's, you know, we had
- 20:33some big meetings last week. I had some conversations with
- 20:38some big people in crypto and they all say the same thing like
- 20:41we're watching you, you're on our radar screen.
- 20:45It's a big, big deal. And Vincent, I want to circle
- 20:48back to something you said earlier because I agree with you
- 20:51100% the similarities between silver investors and gold
- 20:57investors, But again, focus more on silver and crypto investors
- 21:01and in particular UFD investors. They are, they are so similar,
- 21:05right? There's this little difference
- 21:07between being physical and being digital.
- 21:11It's almost like the analogy that I like to use.
- 21:14It's almost like crypto investors and precious metals
- 21:18investors are like like siblings that were separated at
- 21:21birthright. They don't realize how similar
- 21:24they are or they're like twin siblings that don't get along
- 21:29right. They're like exactly the same in
- 21:31most ways, but they but they maybe there, there can some
- 21:35sometimes be a little friction between the communities.
- 21:38But you're right. I mean, it's I, I think the
- 21:41driving force behind it is this is this reality that crypto
- 21:46investors and precious metals investors recognize and realize
- 21:49that like the Tranfi monetary system that's out there with
- 21:55printing the, you know, dollars or any of the Fiat currencies,
- 21:59the euro or the yen, any of it, it, it really doesn't make sense
- 22:05long term, right? And if you can find something
- 22:08that has value and, and is also scarce, right, it can't be
- 22:13printed. And I'll, I have to say it at
- 22:15least one time on every live stream that I do, and that is we
- 22:18can't make any more Unicorn fart dust.
- 22:20We have digital scarce. It's, it's a, it's a, it's a,
- 22:25you know, I think it's interesting because silver and
- 22:30gold are the oldest forms of money.
- 22:32They've been around for 4005 thousand years and crypto and
- 22:37UFD are kind of the newest forms of you would maybe use the word
- 22:41value, right? And, and, and those two areas
- 22:45are the ones that I've been most focused on.
- 22:48But you know, it's kind of AI don't know an irony or a paradox
- 22:51that that they both are are independent, which is the big
- 22:56thing from the Fiat system. So yeah, it's sorry I went on a
- 23:00little rant there, but it's something that I feel very
- 23:02passionately about. Yeah, I'm passionate about that
- 23:05well as well. And if you understand that an
- 23:10ounce of silver in your hands is important as a silver stacker
- 23:16and you also already understand that it is important that you
- 23:20have your crypto, your own wallets.
- 23:23And I think that's also unique about UFD that we have
- 23:28established this fantastic partners with Moon pay it also
- 23:33Ledger. And I move my body a bit in the
- 23:38middle. You see the the dusty in the
- 23:43middle of the screen. Actually, I use that as one of
- 23:47my pictures on my Ledger. So if anybody today has not
- 23:54protected their beans in a in a Ledger, I have gone through the
- 23:59process pretty late. I moved my beans in November.
- 24:04I was always a bit excited to do so.
- 24:08But when you went to the Paris Ledger meeting and the Nano Gen.
- 24:145 Ledger came out, to be honest, even as a boomer it is so simple
- 24:23to install to work with and I had no stress whatsoever.
- 24:31So I have, I don't know, 90% of my beams safely stored in my
- 24:36Ledger and the other 10% I keep on the on the central exchange
- 24:43to to make moves in if if I want.
- 24:47Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ledger. And it's not just you.
- 24:50It's over 20% of the world's crypto is secured on Ledger and
- 24:56yeah, the Nano Gen. 5. And thank you for bringing this
- 24:59up, Vincent. The Nanogen 5 is awesome, but so
- 25:03is their new app, the Ledger Wallet.
- 25:05It allows people to do everything basically they need
- 25:07to do with crypto. And I love this little, little
- 25:10catch line they have now. Ledger is offering the
- 25:13convenience of a software wallet with the security of a hardware
- 25:17wallet. So yeah, then it's a big honor
- 25:21for us as a community and for me with Ron's basement to have
- 25:25Ledger supporting us and Moon Pay as well.
- 25:27I mean, Moon Pay. Moon Pay was my entry door into
- 25:30crypto. I mean, I, you know, 100%
- 25:34honest, 14 months ago right now, I knew nothing about crypto.
- 25:41Hold on. Sorry about that.
- 25:42Nothing about crypto and it really maybe heard of moon Pay,
- 25:46but didn't know who moon pay was.
- 25:48And you know, I did some research.
- 25:50Moon pay was my my first experience converting Fiat into
- 25:54crypto. And I think that for our
- 25:57community, as we've got a lot of other maybe boomers and even
- 26:00just new younger people who want to get into Unicorn fart dust,
- 26:05it's a real easy entry entry ramp to get people into our
- 26:09community. So yeah, I mean, we are
- 26:11affiliated with two of the best companies.
- 26:14You know the other thing I want to point out about Moon Pay and
- 26:17Ledger. Oh, hold on one.
- 26:20Susie just said something Vince, but I want to .1 more thing out
- 26:23about Moon paying ledgers. These are companies that are
- 26:26actually adding value to crypto. There's so much extraction that
- 26:29goes on in the world of crypto. But like both, you know, Ledger
- 26:33obviously helping with security and all the other things they're
- 26:36doing and Moon Pay bringing new people in and hold on one second
- 26:40upstairs, Susie had something to say.
- 26:43I didn't hear you, Susie. Over.
- 26:46The bullion duster. If he goes, his friends ever
- 26:50call him Vince or Vinny. Or does he just go by Vincent?
- 26:55OK. Did you hear that's a tricky
- 26:59question, Susie, So call me Vincent.
- 27:04The the bullion duster, the bullion is a bit related to
- 27:09that. I'm a stacker.
- 27:10The duster of course I'm related to to EU of D community with
- 27:16actually some of my study friends called me a Cousin
- 27:20Vinny. That was a movie long time ago.
- 27:23But please don't call me Vinny. I'm Vincent.
- 27:27OK, so we're going to call you Vinny from now on.
- 27:29What is your mother? What does your mother call you?
- 27:32What does your mother call you, Vincent?
- 27:35Oh, she's calling me Vin. VIN.
- 27:38So that's, that's the short version.
- 27:40And my mum, by the way, is doing pretty well.
- 27:44She had some big health issues. We had to move her a few weeks
- 27:49ago from her house to an elderly home.
- 27:53But she's she very happy. And that is maybe also a bit of
- 27:57a message always. We always think that people
- 28:01somewhere else have a happy life.
- 28:03Everybody saying, oh, Vincent is happily travelling all the world
- 28:07to be almost. We all have, we all have our
- 28:10struggles and that makes us this fantastic community.
- 28:19Sometimes I have a call with Brazilian Jack or another
- 28:22friends in the UFD and that makes the the the the the
- 28:27community pretty strong and we take care of each other one.
- 28:32Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
- 28:34One more side question about your mother.
- 28:37And I'm glad to hear she's doing better.
- 28:38And Susie piped in here and said she was glad to hear as well if
- 28:42your mom was is hanging out with a couple of her friends, maybe
- 28:46having lunch, and all the mothers are bragging about their
- 28:49sons. What's what?
- 28:50What's one or two things your mom's going to say about you,
- 28:53Vincent, as she's bragging to her friends about her son Ben?
- 28:58Yeah. So I think she's really proud on
- 29:04what I am doing, but she's always smiling that I always
- 29:10change the world. So I am, I have been site
- 29:14manager in the past, I have been in various roles, but after
- 29:18three or four years, I want to do something new.
- 29:21So my mom is always very proudly saying, Oh, my son is doing
- 29:25this, this and this, but in the two or three years time he's
- 29:29doing something different that is.
- 29:31So I'm looking for new experiences and new people, new
- 29:36processes. And that is probably the reason
- 29:40why I joined UFD. As I told, I was already three
- 29:45years into your silver podcast room and when you initiated UFDI
- 29:51was to be almost scratching my hat.
- 29:53But within two weeks I still remember the first beans I
- 29:59bought. I bought hundreds of dollars of
- 30:01U of D's beans on 2nd Christmas evening in 24 and since then I
- 30:09have gradually building up my my my my my pot of of beans and I'm
- 30:18now pretty sizable narwhal. But this was a really a
- 30:23conscious decision. So I'm a bit overexposed to
- 30:26silver and UFD, and UFD is my only meme coin.
- 30:31I've not invested in any other meme coin.
- 30:36And you know what, Vincent, you are a great representation of
- 30:41what I believe is a UFD superpower, OK?
- 30:44You are a successful person, very successful.
- 30:48You want good in the world, right?
- 30:50In your accomplishing so much. I love what your mom would have
- 30:53said about you because I agree with it 100%.
- 30:56But you know what? It's not just then for the win.
- 30:59OK, boy, Susie's piping in, she says then, then for the win.
- 31:03But I mean, seriously, think about it.
- 31:04And I and I don't, and I'm not putting any other communities
- 31:07down. But it it, it.
- 31:10And it's not just you. There's many other people in UFD
- 31:14and we've got young people. We've got people older than you
- 31:17and I, but the you really represent what I think is like a
- 31:23superpower within our project, right?
- 31:25Like how many other projects have just the quality of people,
- 31:30overall quality of people that we have in UFDI.
- 31:34Don't want to be negative, but when I look at some of the other
- 31:36meme coins and what those communities are doing and you
- 31:40know, you know, all the dastardly deeds that go on and
- 31:42and a lot of these coins and, and, and when I compare, you
- 31:47know, I'll just throw out some names.
- 31:49Cuban Pete, the bean crypt wizard.
- 31:53I mean, there's so many I can't exit fixless.
- 31:56I mean there's so many Georgie, just I mean, and please,
- 31:58everybody out there, you know, I'm thinking of you as well.
- 32:00Like these are really good quality people that are like the
- 32:04core of UFD. And then there's the outer
- 32:07layers of other really great people as well that maybe aren't
- 32:10so involved. But there's no other, you know,
- 32:13I mean, like we are like, like I, I don't know how to put it
- 32:17into words. I mean, but we've, we've got
- 32:19like we're very unusual, I think within the crypto world in a
- 32:24very good way and that we've got some very good people and it
- 32:28attracts more and more good people, you know.
- 32:30Just well, I, I fully, I fully agree.
- 32:33And I, I, I, I think we have quality people, but we also have
- 32:39quality memes. And of course, quality attracts
- 32:43quality good attracts good. We have world class memes,
- 32:49fantastic videos. I was not exposed to NFTS, but
- 32:57now I have about 15 NFTS from Gimmicks and Neeru and Georgie
- 33:07was laughing when she gave me the first NFT as a kind of a
- 33:13present. Yes, here I am.
- 33:16I am having now more than two NFTS.
- 33:18I have about 15, something like that.
- 33:22And sometimes people say memes are a joke, but actually they
- 33:29are very important because they are our way of staying
- 33:33connected. It is our humor.
- 33:35It is how we keep the community strong in the days like today.
- 33:43Because being a duster is not always easier.
- 33:47My most difficult moments have been a few weeks ago when the
- 33:53price drops below $0.01 and to 8 cents and then you are
- 33:57scratching like marvel my my my head.
- 34:04But I kept the trust in the community and those are the
- 34:08moments I think I have been building my future prosperity.
- 34:12It has not been easy run, but ultimately the trust in you, the
- 34:18trust in the community, the trust in the quality memes make
- 34:23me where I am. I am very, very confident in the
- 34:27success of UFD and I believe that at a certain moment lots of
- 34:33capital maybe from gold and silver stackers might come
- 34:40partly to UFD. Because when at a certain moment
- 34:45people feel like, well, this asset class has really reached
- 34:49its highs and people start to move their investments partly to
- 34:56other asset classes. People are always looking to
- 35:00relative strengths. I look to the relative strengths
- 35:04of silver to gold and at a certain moment I rotate my
- 35:07silver into gold and maybe in the future I do it back.
- 35:11And I think that that will the same happen to UFD and we will
- 35:16attract more and more people to the community.
- 35:20Yeah, Yep. There's nothing more powerful in
- 35:22the world than community, period.
- 35:25Whether you're talking about a church, community, a country you
- 35:28live in the net, net going to be able to go to.
- 35:32OK, Susie wants. Yeah, I'll, I'll ask him.
- 35:34I will ask him. Susie, I got a question for you
- 35:37from Susie. I want to I want the queen.
- 35:40I want to make this point, though.
- 35:42There's nothing more powerful than community period out there.
- 35:46The other thing that I think, and I agree with you, you know,
- 35:50two years ago, I wouldn't have really thought ever really
- 35:53thought about this, but memes are powerful.
- 35:56You know, I mean, you can say even things like Santa Claus is
- 36:00a meme, right? I mean, it's a, it's a story,
- 36:03It's a, it's a, it's kind of a, an image that we, we all have in
- 36:06our head, a lot of us that are in the West and it's a powerful,
- 36:10powerful image of the, I hear David Gopstein talks about the
- 36:14in the United States, there's this TV commercial that we all
- 36:17have to watch about 6 times a day about the GEICO gecko, which
- 36:21is this lizard that's from GEICO.
- 36:23I mean, like these things are real.
- 36:26But the other thing that I think is powerful Vincent, about our
- 36:29project as well, really about our project is not only are we
- 36:33super high quality like we already talked about, but we're
- 36:36also very simple, right? Memes are simple and you know,
- 36:40we aren't some complicated concept or some complicated, you
- 36:44know, mind numbing technology that most people can't
- 36:48understand. That is people, more and more
- 36:50people come into crypto and get interested in things like memes
- 36:54and memes become more and more easily accessible.
- 36:57Like now, you know, people can are, are, are starting to be
- 37:02able to buy our coin on a coin base, for instance, that that
- 37:05they're going to gravitate toward good memes that are
- 37:09simple and improving themselves to be reliable and safe as well.
- 37:14Yeah, I agree. And I also want to give a big
- 37:19thumbs up for the team who has been working so hard to build
- 37:24our IP room. You see, on the background of
- 37:28ME3 examples, someone in the community made this fantastic.
- 37:35I think it is Paladin. They made this fantastic Dusty
- 37:39on the bridge in Amsterdam, but it is fairly recognizable UFD.
- 37:46But people in the community adapted.
- 37:50They put a nice background and I think that is really unique of
- 37:55the current memes in the UFD. Soon I will be watching a lot of
- 38:00the Winter Games in Italy. Some of you know, I love to ski,
- 38:05but I also love to see the Winter Games on television
- 38:09because the Dutch team are very famous ice skaters.
- 38:14And I made this of course, with the use of with some artificial
- 38:21intelligence, I made this very easy meme of Dusty with the
- 38:27official mascot of the Olympic Games.
- 38:31And it is very recognizable. And assume in China they will
- 38:36celebrate the actually that's a fact, the New Year's of the Fire
- 38:42Horse. And of course, I made it. 76 is
- 38:46the year of the Unicorn. The bridge to silver and gold is
- 38:52that I let the Unicorn sit on a pile of silver and gold coins.
- 38:58So it's very easy to make very recognizable brands of UFD in
- 39:05our memes. And again, a big thumbs up to
- 39:10the team who has been working so hard.
- 39:13A lot of teams also worked on getting our IP on all the
- 39:18central exchanges so very quickly.
- 39:22Now you see our official IP on all the official web pages and
- 39:27lists of memes we are are are are comparing ourselves to.
- 39:33Yeah. And and I probably don't say it
- 39:36enough, but, but you're absolutely correct.
- 39:39There are teams of people and there's, you know, some
- 39:43structure that's being put in place, but there are just so
- 39:47many people that are working super hard on this project,
- 39:51right. I mean, I think I get I'm I
- 39:53guess from a human perspective, one of the more recognizable
- 39:57faces, although your face resilient Jack, a lot of
- 40:00Georgie, a lot of other people are are becoming recognized as
- 40:04being. I guess you would say core
- 40:06community members, leaders, whatever you want to say, like
- 40:09people that are out there working and it's a, there's a,
- 40:12and there's a lot of other people that are stay that stay
- 40:16under the radar screen that have donated a lot of time and a lot
- 40:20of resources to get us where we are right now.
- 40:23I sit down here in the basement every day and I think people,
- 40:26you know, but please realize and, and the other message I'll
- 40:29have for everybody out there is if you want to be involved, this
- 40:32project is, is decentralized, right?
- 40:35I mean, this is an opportunity. I tell people all the time if
- 40:38you want to do a UFD live stream every day like I do, go for it.
- 40:42I would love it. You know, I always use DJ Litmus
- 40:46as an example, but you know, I mean, there's so many, so many
- 40:50avenues for people to get involved and to make a real,
- 40:54real material difference in in what we're doing so.
- 40:59Yeah, there's so many people passionately working for the UFD
- 41:03and as Jack Resilience always says to us, we need to work for
- 41:07our backs. And then you have found your
- 41:10passion how to contribute to UFD.
- 41:13There's always an opportunity to to to help to help growing the
- 41:20brand of UFD. Yeah, and you know what, so
- 41:24important to realize as well as you pointed out all these
- 41:27different memes, our new IP, which is awesome.
- 41:31That was my Nehru created that and and and gimmicks helped out
- 41:35as well. Did the lettering, the NF TS.
- 41:38But you know, the idea, the Unicorn fart dust brand, it's
- 41:43staggering to think the exposure that it's gotten and will
- 41:47continue to get right that that like there's a marketing rule
- 41:51that I read recently that they've done studies that it
- 41:55takes like 6 or seven impressions for a person to then
- 41:59make a decision about something. And we've got all these
- 42:02impressions, I mean, millions of impressions going out all around
- 42:06the world. And what feels really good about
- 42:08it is it is, you know, still genuinely based on fairness,
- 42:13honesty, integrity, openness. And in a place where people can
- 42:18come and get involved and feel connected.
- 42:20Be part of a club, be part of a, a herd, be part of whatever you
- 42:24want to say. And that's a powerful thing
- 42:26because humans want that. We want to be part of something.
- 42:30We want to be involved with something.
- 42:33It's just one of our basic human needs.
- 42:35Yeah. And I think that is that will be
- 42:37the big difference I think in between the the early 25 hype we
- 42:42saw in the UFD and hopefully the next hype periods.
- 42:49But I call it positive. I think in the next cycle,
- 42:55people in crypto are looking and are using a bit more of their
- 43:00brains. They are looking for coins they
- 43:04can trust and products they can trust.
- 43:07Rome, and that will be the difference.
- 43:10And I think you brought in something fairly unique.
- 43:14Then you built U of D in the in 24 and December to be almost all
- 43:22the other memes around us were just rug pools.
- 43:25They disappeared within one hour 1 day, one week.
- 43:30We are still here and we have established us as a meme coin
- 43:36with good good values and a trusted projects and as long as
- 43:42we do the good things, I think we will attract more good people
- 43:48into this project and we build the future of prosperity for the
- 43:54next generation. Yeah, yeah, well, and I, and I
- 43:56hear it all the time, OK, People tell me at big events where I'm
- 44:01meeting like, you know, high power, however you want to say
- 44:04people in the world of crypto. I, I, I've heard this said over
- 44:08and over, like if, if crypto is going to do well, Unicorn fart
- 44:12dust has to do well. Because, you know, look, you
- 44:16know, if we want more and more people to come into crypto, like
- 44:20you said, they need to feel like, like what they're getting
- 44:23involved in is safe and is reliable and that there are good
- 44:27people in the world of crypto. And I think that we're proving
- 44:31that everyday. I appreciate what you said about
- 44:34what I created, but the real truth, Vincent, is the fact that
- 44:38I spawned it. It was an experiment.
- 44:41The community really created this.
- 44:44I will take credit for, you know, keeping my word and
- 44:48treating other people the way that I would want to be treated.
- 44:52I did my part right. Like I, I kept that line, which
- 44:56is easy to do, right? That's the, you know, to me, I
- 44:59always say it's a lot easier in life to be honest and have
- 45:02integrity and it feels better. But what's really happened here
- 45:06and the reason why you and I are sitting here one year later is
- 45:09because of people like you and the people like, like the person
- 45:13out there, the 200 people right now that are watching this live
- 45:17or the thousands that will watch the recording, it happened
- 45:20because of them. And that's a real, real,
- 45:22powerful force. Yeah.
- 45:25And I'm really looking forward to to meet you soon, hopefully
- 45:30face to face in America's when there is this big Vegas events
- 45:36in the in the April. And I hope we can we can build
- 45:41stronger bonds and hopefully more distress will come to that
- 45:47event. I also understood that there
- 45:50will be maybe a future Europe event.
- 45:54I think the connector is trying to set up an event in Greece,
- 45:58but I'm also very happy to invite other European industries
- 46:02into the lovely country of the Netherlands one.
- 46:06Yeah, yeah, that would be awesome.
- 46:08Hey do you have do you have like 4 more minutes for me?
- 46:11Yeah, I'm OK all. Right.
- 46:12I want to show everybody we've got a big contest going on right
- 46:16now, the dust, the Destiny contest.
- 46:20Georgie is doing a great job with that.
- 46:22You can go to her profile, Georgie at Georgie 420 to learn
- 46:27all about it. It's open through the 22nd,
- 46:30which I believe is Thursday, and it's a contest with some great
- 46:35prizes. You can read all about it where
- 46:37people are encouraged to create memes, videos, anything they
- 46:40like kind of explaining or demonstrating their experience
- 46:46with UFD over the last year. We got an entry here from Mia
- 46:50that I want to share real quickly and then we've got one
- 46:54more to look at as well. All right, check that out.
- 46:59It's raining Fiat onto the onto the Unicorn.
- 47:03And then we have this one here who is from our friend five O 8,
- 47:10and this is this is a great example.
- 47:12Their very first ever meme, my very first ever.
- 47:15Good luck to everyone and let me play this real quickly.
- 47:18It's 10 seconds long. How?
- 47:20Many coins which death upon me for are dusting.
- 47:22My eyes dog and I can't see. I'm trying to beat what I'm
- 47:24dusting to beat and rug is trying to take my liquidity
- 47:26away. Yeah hold on Maine blue can't
- 47:27stop this vibe glitter in the air when the base collide.
- 47:30How many coins which death upon me for are dusting?
- 47:31OK. There we go.
- 47:33Hold on. Let me get back to Vincent.
- 47:35Make sure we're still here. All right, Vincent.
- 47:38So that's what's going on. What did I forget to ask you?
- 47:41What did I forget to bring up? Well, we plan to talk a bit
- 47:45about the diamond roofs in the in the in the community to be
- 47:51almost the top 250 narwhals keep extremely strong.
- 47:57They still own sixty 155 millions of our beans.
- 48:02So that is almost 70% of of our fixed beans supply and the
- 48:09percentage diamond hooves in the top 250 stays fairly stable at
- 48:1570%, the gold at 8% and the silver at 4%.
- 48:20So we have more than 82% of our beans in the top 250 in, in
- 48:28pretty strong hands. And that makes us unique
- 48:32compared to other meme coins. And that also shows the trust.
- 48:37The size of your back doesn't matter.
- 48:39But of course it matters that our narwhals have the trust in
- 48:45the in the projects and continue to hold so strong together with
- 48:49everybody in the community. And you are holding the pots
- 48:55room and in silver, we say there's a silver shortage.
- 48:59So currently there's the silver squeeze and our digital squeeze
- 49:03in UFD. We call, of course, at the
- 49:05Monopoly. So I hope you go to Valhalla.
- 49:10Valhalla, we'll do Valhalla in a second.
- 49:13So I want to circle back to what you just said.
- 49:15So this jug represents all the UFD coins, we call them beans
- 49:20that are ever in existence. You said that the top 250
- 49:24wallets alone own what percentage of the beans?
- 49:28It's six 655,000,000 beans and that is basically 65%, but
- 49:37because the number of outstanding beans is a bit less,
- 49:40I think it is very close to 70%. So the top 250 wallets owned and
- 49:46again this white line here represents all the UFD tokens
- 49:50that are available period. They own almost 765 to 70% And
- 49:56then of those holders almost in terms of ones that have held for
- 50:03over 90 days, you said 70% of those. 70%, so that is fairly
- 50:09strong and if you include the gold and the silver diamond
- 50:15handed, then the percentage is 82%.
- 50:19So very close to 90% of the beans are very strongly helped
- 50:24by the community. And, and and that doesn't even
- 50:27include all the other, the other, you know, 300 and 50
- 50:32million beans that aren't in the top 250 wallets.
- 50:35Some of those have been held also for more than 90 days.
- 50:39So, yeah, we've got some like pretty extraordinary data when
- 50:43it comes to to the people that are buying diamond hoove dusters
- 50:47as we like to call them. Absolutely.
- 50:50And like you said, eventually we'll get to a bean shortage.
- 50:53And then please excuse me, Vincent, but I'm going to shake
- 50:56the beans because then we can get to as our friend Brazilian
- 50:59Jack likes to refer to it, but. Wait a minute, I always often I
- 51:10hear you doing this in my car and I always need to smile and
