Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Solana's Secret Weaponš„Seeker vs Apple Incomingš INTERVIEW
Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Today we're going to be diving into Salata mobile and
- 0:08Speaker 1: possibly the secret weapon that could be hitting the market.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Get ready, we're going to break it all down for you.
- 0:12Speaker 1: My name is Paul Barren. Welcome back in the tech path.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Let's start a little bit with our sponsor today and
- 0:17Speaker 1: that's Tandem. This is a great place for you guys
- 0:19Speaker 1: to get your own self custody going and the way
- 0:21Speaker 1: you can do that whether you've got an an Android
- 0:24Speaker 1: or an iPhone, you can of course set up and
- 0:26Speaker 1: their platform I think is probably one of the easiest
- 0:29Speaker 1: to use. So if you're brand new to crypto and
- 0:31Speaker 1: you don't really know much about self custody, this is
- 0:34Speaker 1: a great entry level device. If you are an OG,
- 0:38Speaker 1: this is definitely one to use because of its security level,
- 0:41Speaker 1: So make sure and check it out, you guys.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Use our link down below.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It's going to give you a discount to get into
- 0:46Speaker 1: the Tangum cards, get the three card sets.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The way to go very easy to do, all right.
- 0:51Speaker 1: So joining me today is Deanna coming over from the
- 0:54Speaker 1: Saga Dow and we're going to dive in a little
- 0:56Speaker 1: bit deeper on it. How are you, Diani, I'm doing great.
- 0:58Speaker 1: How are you doing, Paul, excellent, So let's learn a
- 1:01Speaker 1: little bit more. Obviously, we're going to be talking about
- 1:03Speaker 1: the Seeker today and what's been going for many of
- 1:06Speaker 1: our viewers. If you're brand new to Crypto. Solana launched
- 1:09Speaker 1: two phones. One of course, was the original Saga. That's
- 1:14Speaker 1: what most people probably that are OG's and Crypto may
- 1:17Speaker 1: be ordered. And then about a year and a half
- 1:20Speaker 1: ago they went out and dropped the Seeker, which is
- 1:23Speaker 1: now the most definitive Web three device out there. You
- 1:26Speaker 1: can kind of see it right there on my screen.
- 1:29Speaker 1: And this is still open for pre ordering and the
- 1:33Speaker 1: plan is now to be shipping around hopefully we see
- 1:36Speaker 1: this coming out in spring this year. And then Deanna
- 1:38Speaker 1: a little bit about Saga. Dal give me a little
- 1:40Speaker 1: bit of what you guys are doing there. You guys
- 1:42Speaker 1: are restructuring. You guys are building out a little bit
- 1:45Speaker 1: more of a plan around a roadmap that's going to coordinate,
- 1:48Speaker 1: as I understand it, things like air drops and all
- 1:52Speaker 1: sorts of partnerships and things of that nature.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Give me a rundown on that, sure.
- 1:56Speaker 3: So the Saga DOW is the largest ever count project
- 2:00Speaker 3: in Solana. So we have about in our server over
- 2:04Speaker 3: ten thousand people. I think it's about twelve thousand now.
- 2:06Speaker 3: The idea here is that we are a Solona hub
- 2:10Speaker 3: where everything from DeFi, deep pin, NFTs, tokens technology, all
- 2:18Speaker 3: of that will intersect at our hub. Because we have
- 2:20Speaker 3: the largest native user base on Solana by far. Once
- 2:25Speaker 3: the seier comes out and there's already one hundred and
- 2:27Speaker 3: fifty pre sale orders, we expect our membership to jump
- 2:32Speaker 3: by an order of magnitude to maybe one hundred thousand.
- 2:35Speaker 4: People, maybe more.
- 2:37Speaker 3: And we want to be a Salona hub where all
- 2:39Speaker 3: of the projects can communicate with their most negative users.
- 2:43Speaker 3: And also we are our validator as a funding source
- 2:49Speaker 3: to innovate and build more apps on the dept store
- 2:53Speaker 3: for the Salona blockchain and be able to leverage one
- 2:58Speaker 3: of the most intuitive communities and the most honest communities
- 3:02Speaker 3: about Salona products and leveraging that into the future where
- 3:05Speaker 3: we can build some of the most user oriented and
- 3:09Speaker 3: user experience focused apps and apps.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Well, I think the success for Saga in terms of
- 3:16Speaker 1: the amount of air drops that were done. If you
- 3:18Speaker 1: look at checkphone dot xyz, you can kind of see
- 3:21Speaker 1: the current listing and we've got everything in here. Bank
- 3:24Speaker 1: was kind of the leader that really set the tone
- 3:27Speaker 1: I think for mobile devices getting air drops. That was
- 3:29Speaker 1: I think still one of the things that re energized
- 3:32Speaker 1: Solana as a token with the original saga, and of
- 3:36Speaker 1: course you can kind of see Pengus of course join
- 3:38Speaker 1: that list, and a whole few slew of other tokens
- 3:42Speaker 1: now valuing and that's not even including a Klinos if
- 3:45Speaker 1: you were able to get one of those dropped in.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But that's still valuing almost double that of what the
- 3:50Speaker 1: phone cost someone and pretty amazing value when you think
- 3:55Speaker 1: of buying a device and basically you get it paid
- 3:57Speaker 1: for just by buying a device. So that of course
- 4:00Speaker 1: starts to shift a little bit into the seeker, which
- 4:04Speaker 1: is if you go over to tulop.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I don't know if this.
- 4:07Speaker 1: One's updated because they never really list some of the
- 4:10Speaker 1: new air drops that I've seen, so that those.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Lists that you've shown me are actually very updated. We
- 4:17Speaker 3: are pery active in the saga das. I would just
- 4:19Speaker 3: suggest anyone who does have a sagaphone or is on Twitter,
- 4:23Speaker 3: just follow our account.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Go into the server.
- 4:25Speaker 3: We have countless other collaborations we did from x net
- 4:29Speaker 3: to like you mentioned pengu but Saga Monks since long foundation,
- 4:33Speaker 3: we have so many more collaborations than what.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Is listed in there. Those are three party sources.
- 4:37Speaker 3: So I would just jast for yeah, to go to
- 4:40Speaker 3: our main page and just stay updated and engage with us,
- 4:44Speaker 3: to participate with us, and you'll be up to date.
- 4:46Speaker 3: So for the Seeker, we've already surpassed the amount given
- 4:51Speaker 3: out to community members. I believe that we've already air
- 4:54Speaker 3: dropped over a million dollars to the seeker. Answer your
- 4:59Speaker 3: question in the in the shorter form, Yeah, we already
- 5:02Speaker 3: surpassed that and the phone hasn't even come out yet.
- 5:04Speaker 4: I think it is a no brainer, Paul.
- 5:07Speaker 3: I believe that the MSRP price of those phones, of
- 5:11Speaker 3: the new one is five hundred dollars. You have already, Will,
- 5:15Speaker 3: I can almost guarantee you. I just don't want to
- 5:17Speaker 3: see your in a team, but you will be getting
- 5:19Speaker 3: that value back by a lot more so, just like
- 5:22Speaker 3: when I Saga and I had Osaga, I have already
- 5:27Speaker 3: triple quadrupled the value of that phone.
- 5:29Speaker 4: At least.
- 5:30Speaker 3: I believe that when the Seier comes out, it'll mean
- 5:32Speaker 3: the seams still word bit more. This is at this
- 5:35Speaker 3: point almost free. It's basically free.
- 5:38Speaker 1: And I think the thing here people don't really connect
- 5:42Speaker 1: the dots yet on how this is going to work
- 5:44Speaker 1: in commerce. Probably we've already seen it on the device side,
- 5:47Speaker 1: where you you know, you get your NFTs. But if
- 5:50Speaker 1: you look at what Helio is doing, this is Helio
- 5:52Speaker 1: Pay online stores now can offer discounts for any NFT
- 5:55Speaker 1: collection and Salona Mobile holders. And I'll kind of zoom
- 6:00Speaker 1: in on that a little bit. If you guys know
- 6:01Speaker 1: that right there's a Salon of mobile holder. I that
- 6:04Speaker 1: was pretty cool for that to be able to be
- 6:07Speaker 1: enabled on a e comm platform or possibly maybe a
- 6:11Speaker 1: restaurant chain, et cetera that could jump into this. That's
- 6:15Speaker 1: going to again get back to your point of potential
- 6:18Speaker 1: high level adoption. Beyond that, you look at Solana Mobile,
- 6:22Speaker 1: Salona Spaces relaunched, You've got Helium Mobile now that has
- 6:26Speaker 1: joined the program. It's going to be a long term
- 6:28Speaker 1: partnership on these pop ups. Again, this is getting back
- 6:32Speaker 1: into more brick and mortar, and I think this is
- 6:35Speaker 1: going to open up again an adoption phase.
- 6:38Speaker 3: I actually was I just had a meeting with the
- 6:40Speaker 3: people at Salona Spaces and I'm actually excited to do
- 6:45Speaker 3: a big collaboration with them. They are doing a great
- 6:48Speaker 3: job bridging Web two and Web three, which we feel
- 6:53Speaker 3: is the magic sauce when it comes to adoption. They're
- 6:55Speaker 3: basically having all these pop up shops. They're bridging that
- 6:58Speaker 3: gap between Web too and Web three. We're going to
- 6:59Speaker 3: do a big collaboration where we, as the first native
- 7:03Speaker 3: Salona users, can can test and be I guess beta
- 7:08Speaker 3: users for all of those products.
- 7:10Speaker 4: We are the most dedicated Salon of users.
- 7:12Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm excited to do a lot with with Salana,
- 7:17Speaker 3: with uh, with the store when they come up with
- 7:20Speaker 3: the store token and and Salona spaces. It's they're They're
- 7:23Speaker 3: doing a lot of interesting things. They have a lot
- 7:25Speaker 3: of backing from the community. So I'm just looking forward
- 7:29Speaker 3: to see what brand tis they can do and how
- 7:32Speaker 3: they can leverage that into even more users.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope this time around it works. Is the
- 7:37Speaker 1: pop ups, uh, you know, they came and went, you know,
- 7:40Speaker 1: on the last cycle. Obviously, if this is a bull
- 7:42Speaker 1: run thing, Okay, I get it. I want to go
- 7:45Speaker 1: over Also, because now we're talking about the stable Coin
- 7:49Speaker 1: Act going through Congress, We're going to see most likely
- 7:52Speaker 1: regulation that's going to get into stable coins and now
- 7:55Speaker 1: the potential of stable coins becoming a real asset to
- 7:59Speaker 1: be able to you know, inject yield to and Solana
- 8:03Speaker 1: has been one that potentially could play in this. This
- 8:05Speaker 1: is a platform that is talking about protected deposits, well
- 8:09Speaker 1: yield on deposits in general USDC and how this might work.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Let me play a clip for you.
- 8:15Speaker 5: What if earning yield on your stable coins could also
- 8:17Speaker 5: feel safer protected deposits and boosted deposits. Protected depositors trace
- 8:25Speaker 5: some of the yield for security. Boosted depositors, on the
- 8:28Speaker 5: other hand, take on more risks in exchange of higher yields.
- 8:32Speaker 5: It's a win win start earning new way through Lulu.
- 8:37Speaker 1: The cool thing about this is it's real time as
- 8:40Speaker 1: we go to their website and kind of see interest
- 8:42Speaker 1: inn literally what appears to be by the second. So
- 8:46Speaker 1: pretty amazing. And again this could be integrated directly into
- 8:50Speaker 1: the new solanaphones and a lot of these kind of
- 8:52Speaker 1: tool sets, even to the point where you can do
- 8:56Speaker 1: variations of the amount of yield you're getting based on
- 8:59Speaker 1: what kind of risk level that you want to do.
- 9:00Speaker 2: So that in itself is going to be a pretty
- 9:03Speaker 2: cool feature.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Do you think that's a killer feature of the Salona
- 9:07Speaker 1: phone if this was implemented.
- 9:09Speaker 4: I think it has to be.
- 9:10Speaker 3: I think when they're promising yield and being able to
- 9:13Speaker 3: set your type of yield, if you do a little
- 9:16Speaker 3: double click on LULO, they can secure your yield deposits
- 9:21Speaker 3: with other people who decide that they want higher risk
- 9:24Speaker 3: yield right products.
- 9:25Speaker 4: So that's a beautiful thing. The fact that we're on
- 9:28Speaker 4: a phone and makes it so you.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Can have your your your yield, you can see it
- 9:32Speaker 3: all the time. We actually did a partnership with the
- 9:34Speaker 3: LULO already for Saga, where I believe that people deposited
- 9:38Speaker 3: their Solana or USDC rather and it already ended two
- 9:43Speaker 3: x that was the campaign. Yeah, so one of our
- 9:46Speaker 3: core team members is actually in the bastard of LULO,
- 9:49Speaker 3: so we're very great.
- 9:50Speaker 1: You look at stable coins right now, currently one percent
- 9:54Speaker 1: of the MP two money supply. So money supply I
- 9:56Speaker 1: meaning you know pretty much all cash that's out there
- 10:00Speaker 1: that's liquid, and I think five of year, five years
- 10:03Speaker 1: ago it's over ten percent. That's where it would be going.
- 10:05Speaker 1: So basically you're talking about a ten x opportunity here.
- 10:09Speaker 1: In terms of stable coin use case around the globe.
- 10:13Speaker 1: This of course could explode with banks and especially if
- 10:16Speaker 1: you have a mobile device that's being able to generate this,
- 10:19Speaker 1: This would be pretty big going forward for sure. I
- 10:23Speaker 1: want to jump over to one of the things that
- 10:26Speaker 1: we think is going to really kind of shift maybe
- 10:29Speaker 1: a differentiation, a differentiator for Solana the phone, and that
- 10:33Speaker 1: is of course Apple not launching the Serie AI platform.
- 10:37Speaker 1: So what they've done is they say we're not getting
- 10:39Speaker 1: ready to go out. This was just announced. City Bank
- 10:43Speaker 1: is now a City Analyst has now removed the ninety
- 10:46Speaker 1: positive catalyst on Apple stock, so their stock is taking
- 10:49Speaker 1: a hit right now. It looks as though we're going
- 10:51Speaker 1: to see an alternative to this. And when you look
- 10:54Speaker 1: at what is happening right now, because I want to
- 10:56Speaker 1: go over to a clip, because Solana has an alternative
- 10:59Speaker 1: to a phone device for AI.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Let me play this clip for you guys.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Take a look.
- 11:07Speaker 4: Oh, good morning, Sona.
- 11:10Speaker 7: What's the price of Solana?
- 11:13Speaker 2: Thanks? Hey, Sona.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Schedule the doctors for Friday at one pm?
- 11:21Speaker 2: Call Lawrence.
- 11:23Speaker 8: What's the price of bitcoin?
- 11:24Speaker 2: What's in my shopping list?
- 11:26Speaker 4: Your shopping list consists of the following eggs, flour, milk,
- 11:31Speaker 4: generational wealth, diamond hands.
- 11:34Speaker 7: Of course, Apple were very successful already, but many people
- 11:37Speaker 7: credit Siri as the breakthrough that calls Apple stock to
- 11:40Speaker 7: really say, cof is well documented that Apple sold the
- 11:42Speaker 7: most phones they ever have in a week right after
- 11:45Speaker 7: they introduced Syriu.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Do you think this is going to be better than
- 11:49Speaker 1: what we'll see maybe on the Apple ecosystem out there,
- 11:51Speaker 1: because this is really going head to head with the
- 11:53Speaker 1: Apple devices, I believe so.
- 11:55Speaker 3: I believe that the Saga phonus is a recompetitor to
- 11:59Speaker 3: Apple one lot of way. So you know, along with
- 12:02Speaker 3: the app store that where they charge thirty percent hard
- 12:06Speaker 3: to ap store charges zero percent for creators. When it
- 12:09Speaker 3: comes to I feel like Apple is honestly behind the curve.
- 12:14Speaker 3: When you're talking about Tar, that's an amazing product where
- 12:18Speaker 3: basically you have a whole bunch of different AI agents
- 12:21Speaker 3: that you can call directly.
- 12:24Speaker 4: And then they all un track with each other. Very interesting.
- 12:26Speaker 3: But there's also a whole bunch of other ais that
- 12:28Speaker 3: are coming up on the Solana blockchain, where people are
- 12:32Speaker 3: making apps, store market watching for news updates, for doing logic,
- 12:40Speaker 3: for deving.
- 12:42Speaker 4: There's a whole bunch of homemade.
- 12:44Speaker 3: AI source builds that are coming to Solona. So as
- 12:49Speaker 3: much as TAR is great, there's so much innovation and
- 12:52Speaker 3: competition going on right now in AI.
- 12:54Speaker 4: AI is a.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Big hot topic in blockchain, and Solana has the most
- 13:00Speaker 3: used just by far, so we are in the forefront
- 13:02Speaker 3: of AI, not just though, and especially with the cost
- 13:05Speaker 3: of AI going down drastically in the last month or so.
- 13:09Speaker 4: I believe Sky's the limit. Apples has a.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Hard time pushing things fast, especially in this type of
- 13:15Speaker 3: environment where everything has to go really fast. There's a
- 13:17Speaker 3: lot of competition, so I believe we do have that
- 13:21Speaker 3: advantage in that way.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Well, I look at it this way too. It's very
- 13:25Speaker 1: early in the stage of what's being developed. We were
- 13:28Speaker 1: showing something on x right there's the Tar's AI system.
- 13:31Speaker 1: If you notice hereral zoom in on that they've got
- 13:33Speaker 1: the search engine, the console, and then the agent marketplace. Eventually,
- 13:37Speaker 1: I think all mobile devices will have especially as we
- 13:40Speaker 1: start to see banking integrations moving into that. But if
- 13:44Speaker 1: you look at tars themselves, this is a grant recipient
- 13:47Speaker 1: from the Salona Foundation right there. Looks like this is
- 13:50Speaker 1: coming by the end of the March, So optimize compatibility
- 13:54Speaker 1: with grock, leveraging its capability. So I think Elon's probably
- 13:57Speaker 1: in a position where he's trying to open this up
- 13:59Speaker 1: a little bit to a sense of being able to
- 14:01Speaker 1: leverage some of these other tool set, especially on mobile devices,
- 14:05Speaker 1: which would eventually tie into possibly the X app itself
- 14:09Speaker 1: going forward. So man, there's just so much going on
- 14:12Speaker 1: in mobile that I think is going to be very
- 14:14Speaker 1: centered around AI. And of course the device that could
- 14:17Speaker 1: do at all is the Seeker. So Salata Mobile, if
- 14:21Speaker 1: you're listening out there right now, do not waste time.
- 14:24Speaker 1: We need this mobile device on the market asap. Because
- 14:30Speaker 1: contactless payments we are now at critical mass. This is
- 14:35Speaker 1: coming from MasterCard poll and the amount of data and
- 14:39Speaker 1: the amount of money that's coming through this is ridiculous.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Look at this grocery eighty five percent, pharmacy thirty nine,
- 14:45Speaker 1: retail thirty eight, fast food thirty six percent. This is
- 14:48Speaker 1: what people are using in terms of contactless payments. All
- 14:51Speaker 1: zoom in on those data points in case you guys
- 14:53Speaker 1: are watching. When you look at contactless payments and who
- 14:57Speaker 1: has been really the leader of this, I would have
- 15:00Speaker 1: to say Apple pay has been the one, But I
- 15:02Speaker 1: use Apple Pay all the time. Do you think Solana
- 15:06Speaker 1: pay can compete with that?
- 15:08Speaker 7: Yes?
- 15:09Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know Solana is I just mentioned now in
- 15:12Speaker 3: press releases from the White House.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Yeah so crazy, right, the President himself is throwing that
- 15:18Speaker 1: into his bag.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Well and rightly.
- 15:20Speaker 1: So you got fifteen point seven trillion people or dollars
- 15:23Speaker 1: out there that potentially can be in the mobile payment cycle.
- 15:28Speaker 1: And when you have that much market available and you
- 15:32Speaker 1: think about payment systems and rails, right now it's mostly
- 15:36Speaker 1: been Apple Pay. If Solana gets a slot in here, man,
- 15:40Speaker 1: this would be an explosion opportunity. But again, it depends
- 15:43Speaker 1: on how many devices they ship. I mean, look at
- 15:46Speaker 1: these on an off ramp right there. I mean you
- 15:48Speaker 1: see Stripe of course leading it banks, so that's more European.
- 15:52Speaker 1: But there's a lot in here obviously, circle quite a few.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I want to jump over to a clip real quick.
- 15:59Speaker 1: This is the neral manager for Saga and he's talking
- 16:02Speaker 1: about ux which I agree with. Listen to what he
- 16:06Speaker 1: had to say.
- 16:07Speaker 8: For many users who are using anything that's crypto related
- 16:10Speaker 8: on their phones right now, they're doing it through one
- 16:12Speaker 8: of the apps that's approved by Apple and Google. You know,
- 16:15Speaker 8: the coin basis of the world, or people are downloading
- 16:18Speaker 8: their wallet apps and then going to the browser tab
- 16:21Speaker 8: and then basically just like cruising the Internet from a
- 16:25Speaker 8: browser in their wallet app. Neither of those are great experiences.
- 16:29Speaker 8: Or hey, if you want to use an app while
- 16:31Speaker 8: you know, if you pay us, it's pre installed. Or
- 16:33Speaker 8: Apple and Google change their policies, which if they do,
- 16:35Speaker 8: it's going to take some time. Or there are alternative
- 16:38Speaker 8: marketplaces like ours that give builders true real distribution.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Do you think Saga could actually kill a Coinbase like
- 16:47Speaker 1: thing when you think about DAP interaction with the wallet, Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I do.
- 16:52Speaker 3: As a device that's on your on your hand, there's
- 16:54Speaker 3: nothing that that isn't doing that Coinbase isn't doing, except
- 16:58Speaker 3: that Coinbase is backed by the FCC.
- 17:01Speaker 4: That's the bonus for them.
- 17:02Speaker 3: But for Solon and especially this bone, the uniqueness about
- 17:06Speaker 3: it is that you have that ability, like he said,
- 17:09Speaker 3: to have that very seamless transaction with the with whoever
- 17:14Speaker 3: merchant you're using, we can we we can verify in
- 17:18Speaker 3: this doubt that every single present that's device is connected
- 17:21Speaker 3: to advice. These are real people, right, so that that
- 17:24Speaker 3: I think is revolutionary. There is no other real product
- 17:27Speaker 3: like that where you can tie a wallet with an
- 17:30Speaker 3: actual human being. It's been an actual, very big issue
- 17:34Speaker 3: historically until now. So you know, for us, for our DOW,
- 17:39Speaker 3: it's one device, one vote. Usually when it comes to dows,
- 17:42Speaker 3: there is a uh gamemanship about it where people can
- 17:46Speaker 3: just buy a lot of the token and then have
- 17:47Speaker 3: more decision making in that DOW.
- 17:48Speaker 4: For us, it's different because we can identity you know,
- 17:51Speaker 4: that one person. It's one device.
- 17:53Speaker 1: I yeah, I think you're you're onto something there because
- 17:56Speaker 1: the key there obviously is kind of bridging the gap
- 17:59Speaker 1: for digital ID. Obviously, banking going to be all in one.
- 18:02Speaker 1: This will be the first device. It's definitely a next
- 18:05Speaker 1: generation device function, not necessarily in the form factor, but
- 18:09Speaker 1: at least in the device function. Speaking of function, I
- 18:12Speaker 1: want to jump over to gaming real quick, because I
- 18:14Speaker 1: know we've been running here for a while Shaga Cloud
- 18:17Speaker 1: gaming with Solana Seeker. So we're going to play a
- 18:19Speaker 1: clip for you guys to give you kind of a
- 18:21Speaker 1: framework of what's happening on the gaming front for this
- 18:24Speaker 1: phone as it rolls out.
- 18:26Speaker 6: Take a look.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Do you think right now that I mean, that was
- 19:21Speaker 1: a pretty impressive demo.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Do you think that's big enough to.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Where it could offset some of the other projects that
- 19:28Speaker 1: are coming to market right now. Because you've got the
- 19:31Speaker 1: sweet Play. Do you think it's too late?
- 19:34Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 19:35Speaker 4: Not at all?
- 19:36Speaker 5: Not at all.
- 19:37Speaker 4: So, yeah, you mentioned the sue Play. There's also place Solana.
- 19:41Speaker 3: There's a few competitors in the space, and we actually
- 19:44Speaker 3: collaborate with Placelana as well. It's on the dapt store
- 19:47Speaker 3: where you could come in and play games and get
- 19:49Speaker 3: rewards and also be eligible for their token coming soon.
- 19:54Speaker 3: I believe that if we have the largest user base,
- 19:57Speaker 3: that would be the first place people go to play games.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Right it's about usibility and access use. Do I feel
- 20:04Speaker 3: like we're late? No, I feel like we're early.
- 20:06Speaker 2: And there are some games out there.
- 20:08Speaker 1: I mean, if you follow gaming on Solana the ex account,
- 20:11Speaker 1: it shows you Neon Heroes.
- 20:12Speaker 2: You know, mix Bob is in there, so Forge, et cetera.
- 20:16Speaker 1: There's there's a handful and then obviously you saw on
- 20:18Speaker 1: the demo there you've had star Outlas. So these are
- 20:21Speaker 1: all native on the Solana ecosystem. But if you compare
- 20:26Speaker 1: that with what Sui is doing right now, I mean,
- 20:29Speaker 1: these guys are rolling this device out let me kind
- 20:31Speaker 1: of zoom in this the CEO of the of Sui
- 20:35Speaker 1: and you can kind of see it right there. It is, guys,
- 20:36Speaker 1: the sweet play ox one right there. Man, that device
- 20:39Speaker 1: looks good. That looks good, and it's it's on the ground, man,
- 20:44Speaker 1: it's on the ground. And they're already offering air drops.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I think I had a tweet on this. Yeah, Xbox
- 20:49Speaker 1: is rolling out with their new program. This is going
- 20:52Speaker 1: to be similar to the Asus, the rog It seems like, man,
- 20:55Speaker 1: this is it's happening so fast, and I feel like
- 20:58Speaker 1: Solana Mobile is just sitting on the sidelines while all
- 21:01Speaker 1: this is happening.
- 21:03Speaker 4: I see what you're saying.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Absolutely not actually, because that secretphone is coming sooner than
- 21:09Speaker 3: you actually believe.
- 21:10Speaker 4: And also you should check out place Solana.
- 21:12Speaker 3: But my question would be, in order to do so,
- 21:14Speaker 3: we play, you'd have to have sue and you have
- 21:16Speaker 3: to interact that in the ecosystem.
- 21:18Speaker 4: And that in itself is such a large hurdle.
- 21:22Speaker 3: When the largest transaction volume in blockchain of Salona, so
- 21:27Speaker 3: you would have to get some people to off board
- 21:29Speaker 3: and go into Suey and you know that's its own
- 21:31Speaker 3: issue over there. I feel like we're primed to have
- 21:36Speaker 3: the big game explosion. We have the most games getting
- 21:38Speaker 3: built on Solana.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Hey, listen, we're gonna wrap this one up.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Obviously, you look at Solana in general, the hardware respects
- 21:45Speaker 1: are still I would say, somewhat average. I'm still concerned.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I like this device, don't get me wrong. I've ordered one.
- 21:52Speaker 1: We've talked about it, you know, a lot here on
- 21:55Speaker 1: the show. One of our biggest videos is a seekerphone video.
- 21:58Speaker 1: But I am concerned that it's it's going to be
- 22:00Speaker 1: too late if they don't release this device, you know,
- 22:03Speaker 1: in the market at the right time. So timing is everything, man,
- 22:07Speaker 1: timing is everything. So, Diana, it's been great having you
