Community First, Always: The Future of Unicorn Fart Dust · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

• 0:53
  Please listen to me. Hey guys, welcome to the live
• 1:20
  stream. Welcome to Duster Club.
• 1:22
  I apologize that I was late today.
• 1:24
  Yesterday X wasn't working. Yes, we single handedly broke
• 1:28
  the X platform yesterday and today.
• 1:30
  I got angry this morning. You know, one of those
• 1:32
  situations, maybe you've gotten angry during your life as well,
• 1:36
  but I had to go renew a license that I have to get every year.
• 1:40
  I have to get fingerprinted, background checked, all that
• 1:42
  great stuff. So I went to this government
• 1:44
  office here in Saint Louis. I got there at 7:30 AM right
• 1:49
  where they right when they opened because then it would
• 1:51
  only take 5 minutes while I got there in the board thing that
• 1:56
  told me how long I was going to have to wait in an hour and 30
• 1:59
  minutes. So you know, you get in that
• 2:01
  situation and you got a choice, right?
• 2:03
  You're going to be angry and mad, which I was.
• 2:06
  Or you can accept it, move on, realize that you're better off
• 2:11
  just waiting and it didn't take so long after all.
• 2:14
  But, you know, and I did think good attracts good and I
• 2:20
  eventually got the darn license renewal.
• 2:23
  So I apologize for being late this morning.
• 2:25
  And you know, there was there was a guy in front of me
• 2:27
  actually, and he didn't actually have all the paperwork he
• 2:30
  needed. And when he walked away, he was
• 2:32
  to look so mad and so frustrated.
• 2:34
  And I said, hang in there, brother, right?
• 2:36
  Your day will get better. So anyway, let's talk about UFD.
• 2:40
  We got a lot of fun things to talk about.
• 2:42
  Please remember, this is not financial advice.
• 2:44
  I'm not a financial planner, but I do own and Full disclosure,
• 2:48
  what the Susie and I are a large number of UFD beans.
• 2:52
  I'm not not only it was I mad, but I'm sad.
• 2:56
  We're going to talk more about this later, but something really
• 2:58
  sad happened last night. Our friend Ravio from Rastelon
• 3:03
  TVA lot of us have been connected with him,
• 3:06
  unfortunately passed away. We'll talk about that later here
• 3:10
  in the live stream. But let's go to this first
• 3:13
  because what a great reminder. Look, I've made a couple solid
• 3:17
  100% promises to this community, one of which was this.
• 3:23
  Hold on here, make sure I get the right screen up.
• 3:27
  Having a little tech issue. Hold on, hold on, Dusters, how
• 3:31
  are you today? OK, here we go.
• 3:33
  Cuban Pete, right? Key community member great guy
• 3:37
  reposted this from Scott Vernon yesterday.
• 3:41
  Guys, this was like I don't know during the first week of UFD
• 3:45
  I've made two promises. Okay, I'm I'm Mr. under promise
• 3:49
  over deliver One promise was that when we hit a billion
• 3:52
  dollars, I would indeed, and I just want to confirm this.
• 3:56
  I will indeed strip down to my tidy whities, jump over the ping
• 4:00
  pong table as you can see on your screen there behind me, and
• 4:04
  I will do this and get in the duster and drive around the
• 4:07
  country and meet everyone. So I just wanted to reaffirm
• 4:11
  that sure, I show up every day all that great stuff.
• 4:15
  I'd like to think that we as a community are always under
• 4:19
  promising over deliver. But two absolute promises I made
• 4:23
  were that Tighty Whitey's jump on ping pong table.
• 4:26
  Come visit everybody, maybe even everybody around the world.
• 4:29
  The madman brought this one up. Does this bring a smile to your
• 4:33
  face? I don't know what it was about
• 4:36
  this graphic, but really warmed my heart, right?
• 4:39
  That makes that's us, right? We got the Unicorn in the
• 4:42
  middle, all the different colors, all of us with our arms
• 4:45
  intertwined, working to make this project right, What it can
• 4:50
  be, make making it what it already has become, but also
• 4:54
  working together to make it what it can be.
• 4:57
  Crypto and meme coins really have unlimited potential and I
• 5:02
  believe that the way we've positioned and built this
• 5:05
  project sets us up for a super bright project, but it all comes
• 5:10
  back to that picture that we that we saw it's community,
• 5:14
  guys. That's what it was for Bitcoin.
• 5:16
  That's what it's been for any successful crypto project.
• 5:20
  It comes down to community and darn it, right?
• 5:23
  Isn't this an example of it right now?
• 5:25
  Isn't the X timeline an example of it right now?
• 5:29
  We've got that licked, right? We've got it.
• 5:31
  We've had it licked from day one of the way that this project was
• 5:35
  formed, right? An experiment that I did that
• 5:38
  you as a community took over from the this is your fault.
• 5:43
  I'm blaming it all on upstairs Susie, who gave me the idea with
• 5:46
  that darn article, right, that you could start a meme coin for
• 5:49
  $50.00. I forget what it said, it was
• 5:51
  from NBC News and I did it as an experiment.
• 5:55
  Glad I did, no doubt about it. But then you, this is really
• 5:59
  your, your, your responsibility. What we've created, what we've
• 6:04
  grown in this. And guys, look, look, crypto is
• 6:09
  changing, will continue to change so fast.
• 6:13
  And think about what we're doing.
• 6:15
  Think about how transparent our project is.
• 6:17
  Think about how honest our project is.
• 6:20
  Think about how different from most all, not all 'cause there's
• 6:24
  some other great communities, no doubt, but how different we are
• 6:27
  from most all other communities. It really is a Unicorn, right?
• 6:32
  And it's highly coincidental. I don't know if you, if you're a
• 6:37
  religious, a person, a God thing, however you want to say
• 6:40
  it, that the name of our coin is Unicorn.
• 6:43
  Is the word Unicorn in it. It's a special situation that we
• 6:47
  will continue and continue to foster, forge and and move
• 6:52
  forward. I couldn't think of another F
• 6:54
  word. Foster, forge and not force, but
• 6:59
  we can force it. The three FS, we'll come up with
• 7:01
  a better F word. We're not going to use that F
• 7:03
  word. You might be thinking of dirty
• 7:05
  minds. Thank you to Ledger.
• 7:07
  Ledger. Yes, the crypto security leader.
• 7:10
  They're Ledger signer devices because that's what they are.
• 7:14
  Here's the new Ledger Nano Gen. 5.
• 7:18
  There's a link in the link tree where you can get one if you
• 7:21
  like it. It's under $200.
• 7:24
  Their signer devices are the most secure in the world,
• 7:27
  securing over what, 20% of the world's crypto.
• 7:30
  But what's so exciting about Ledger is also Ledger Wallet,
• 7:34
  which creates this ecosystem in which you can, with the signer
• 7:38
  device and the Ledger Wallet app, manage all your crypto,
• 7:41
  buy, sell, stake, swap, manage everything, do everything you
• 7:45
  need to do. And of course, our friends at
• 7:46
  Moon Pay, I need to check the news today because it seems like
• 7:51
  everyday Moon Pay is announcing something that represents growth
• 7:55
  and innovation, value add within the crypto community.
• 7:59
  Think about that. We're a project that is creating
• 8:03
  value in crypto like Brian Armstrong said recently, right?
• 8:08
  Like most of these coin launches are extraction events and he's
• 8:12
  kind of said he thinks that needs to change.
• 8:14
  We aren't an extraction event. We are a value add to the crypto
• 8:19
  world. Think about what Moon Pay's
• 8:21
  doing. The entry door, the on ramp for
• 8:23
  people converting Fiat Fiat Fiat money.
• 8:29
  This. I haven't pulled this out for a
• 8:31
  while. Make sure I got the right one
• 8:34
  because one of them's actually a silver Fiat money paper.
• 8:37
  Huh? Unicorn fart does money into
• 8:42
  crypto in that I mean again, right.
• 8:46
  I know we're a project that's creating value, community value
• 8:50
  value for crypto Ledger, providing value right with the
• 8:54
  ecosystem where you can manage everything in a safe, secure
• 8:57
  environment. Moon pay.
• 9:00
  I mean, it's incredible what they're doing, bringing people
• 9:03
  into crypto, new people, and that's what we want.
• 9:07
  So it feels great to be sponsored by those companies.
• 9:11
  Thank you to both Moon Pay and Ledger.
• 9:13
  Super appreciated on behalf of myself and the entire Unicorn
• 9:16
  fart desk community. Did you know we have a Discord
• 9:19
  server? I know, right?
• 9:24
  I'm not Mr. Tech, but I'm getting used to Discord.
• 9:28
  I'm using it more and more and more and more of us are look, X
• 9:32
  is our town square. That's you know, we will we will
• 9:36
  always have a massive presence on X Discord is allowing us, as
• 9:41
  I understand it, to have maybe a more efficient and effective way
• 9:45
  for us as a community internally to communicate with one another.
• 9:50
  And Discord's hugely popular. Our friend exit the Matrix and
• 9:55
  some other people have been working on this and I want to
• 9:58
  show this here. So if you're, if you're a
• 10:00
  discord person, all right #1 even if you're not, be like me
• 10:03
  and be willing to learn, learn about this discord.
• 10:06
  But we're also looking for a few chill legends to join our elite
• 10:12
  squad of troll tamers on the official UFD community discord.
• 10:17
  Again, you can go check out exit on X.
• 10:21

  stuff on there. So guys, please help support our
• 11:43
  our discord server want to show? Oh shoot, hold on a second.
• 11:48
  This one caught my mind caught my mind caught my eye and my
• 11:51
  mind and I'm not sharing the right screen again.
• 11:54
  There we are from kinky Dred. I almost said kindred, but it's
• 11:58
  kinky dred, one of our fellow dusters.
• 12:01
  UFD Unicorn fart dust my beanbag.
• 12:07
  You got to totally love that. OK, and hold on one second.
• 12:13
  I'll be right back. Don't leave me.
• 12:15
  Don't leave me because I've got something else I want to show
• 12:20
  you here. Bear with me.
• 12:22
  Just one second. All right, this one came from J
• 12:29
  dub. You know Jasper he's our meme,
• 12:31
  our our meme cat, our mask cat here at UFD and get a load of
• 12:37
  this one. It's hilarious.
• 12:40
  Here we go. All right, hold on, guys.
• 12:43
  Just they think they protect the beans.
• 12:46
  We're going to start it over, don't you worry.
• 12:50
  The heck did I do? Let's put up on Unicorn.
• 12:54
  Hold on, we're going to get it, Dusters, don't you worry.
• 13:00
  There we go. And this is 48 seconds long.
• 13:03
  This is hilarious. This is Jasper, for those of you
• 13:06
  who don't know. It's our cat who lives upstairs.
• 13:09
  Our it's our mascat for UFC people.
• 13:12
  Think Basement Run runs the show?
• 13:13
  Cute. Ron and Susie, my pets.
• 13:23
  They fetch coffee. They bark.
• 13:25
  And strong in. Your mouth, the beans, they have
• 13:29
  no idea I invented UFD Unicorn fart dust.
• 13:33
  Actually, let me pause that for a second and tell you a little
• 13:35
  story before I started UFD. You guys all know the little
• 13:39
  foam. Our original meme that we use
• 13:42
  the picture of the foam key chain here.
• 13:44
  I'll show you real quickly. There it is.
• 13:49
  That right, We're getting ready to put out some new IP, but
• 13:52
  nonetheless, that's the original.
• 13:54
  It's a picture of this on top of two American Silver Eagle Silver
• 13:58
  Dollars if you look closely, but on the bottom of this, and I've
• 14:02
  got a code written on there. This is the original because it
• 14:05
  will go in the Unicorn Fart Dust Museum at Unicorn Fartland at
• 14:08
  some point in the future. However, Jasper the cat would
• 14:12
  take this thing and run away with it and then bring like he
• 14:15
  thought it was like a little gift.
• 14:17
  You know how cats do that. And he would come back and I
• 14:19
  would find it on my desk from time to time.
• 14:22
  So I think Jasper actually maybe is original for the creation of
• 14:26
  Unicorn Fart Dust. All right, let's watch the rest
• 14:28
  of what Jasper has to tell us right now.
• 14:31
  The most addictive substance on. The most addictive problem.
• 14:35
  There's that's my empire. There's Jasper.
• 14:45
  I just let the humans think they're in charge.
• 14:52
  Love it. Love it.
• 14:53
  And that was, I believe, from our friend J Dub.
• 14:57
  Let me double check that. Yep, J Dub been holding this
• 15:01
  footage for months, Finally ready to expose the truth.
• 15:04
  Basement Ron did not create Unicorn bardos.
• 15:06
  Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. The truth is out.
• 15:11
  Jasper did. Here's the irrefutable proof.
• 15:13
  So thank you J Dub for that awesome video.
• 15:16
  We appreciate it. Today was going to be a day that
• 15:22
  I was going to recognize our friend Haley as Duster of the
• 15:24
  day, but we're going to postpone that to tomorrow.
• 15:28
  This is the very first time we've ever pre announced a
• 15:32
  duster of the day. So everybody please get ready to
• 15:35
  congratulate Haley tomorrow. But unfortunately, as many of
• 15:40
  us, all of us found out last night, we lost a really great
• 15:45
  guy in crypto Ravio Rastelon TV passed away from cancer and,
• 15:53
  and, and you know, look, he was on the live stream.
• 15:56
  I don't know, maybe 3 weeks, 4 weeks ago, you know the story.
• 16:00
  Let me pull up his profile. I am not going to play the video
• 16:05
  because it's heartbreaking. There's Ravio just a few days
• 16:08
  ago when he was in the hospital, he was this guy.
• 16:14
  This unfortunately how a lot of people know him.
• 16:17
  He was fighting cancer, raised some money to help pay for his
• 16:20
  treatment and he got hacked. Really a sad sad.
• 16:24
  I won't even watch that. When I had him on the live
• 16:27
  stream I asked him if I could play it and I kind of regret
• 16:30
  having done that because he said let me take my headphones off.
• 16:32
  I don't want to hear it. It's really a heartbreaking
• 16:34
  thing. He fought valiantly against
• 16:38
  cancer. He was a great guy.
• 16:40
  A lot of us in the community got to know him.
• 16:43
  He actually helped out with our Live Like a Unicorn charity
• 16:48
  fundraiser that we did. He got involved in that.
• 16:51
  He was a great, great, great guy.
• 16:54
  And look, I've cried already a couple times.
• 16:57
  It's not going to do us any good for me to ball here on TVI
• 17:01
  believe this is his brother. I may have that wrong, but the
• 17:05
  sportists announced last night and I watched just a few
• 17:10
  seconds. Oh, shoot.
• 17:13
  I don't know what to say. Yeah, heartbreaking.
• 17:20
  OK. I don't want to watch.
• 17:22
  I I I you guys can watch that if you like.
• 17:24
  Not that I don't want to watch it.
• 17:26
  It's that it's going to make me cry.
• 17:28
  So look, I think what we learned from Ravio was to fight hard,
• 17:36
  OK? Never give up because he didn't.
• 17:39
  And also to do good. I mean, this guy was dying from
• 17:42
  cancer, but at the same time, not only was he raising money
• 17:46
  for himself, but he helped with our Live Like a Unicorn
• 17:51
  fundraiser that we did. But as I understand it, he was
• 17:53
  also helping a lot of other people, raising money and
• 17:57
  helping some other people as well.
• 17:59
  You know, we can learn that you can fight.
• 18:01
  No matter how you're feeling, there's always something good
• 18:04
  that we can do in the world and that we need to appreciate every
• 18:09
  single day. OK, there's a guy who was, I
• 18:11
  mean, when I scheduled the live stream with him, he was trying
• 18:15
  to schedule things around when he was going to take his
• 18:17
  medication because it made him very sick.
• 18:20
  That we can that that, that, that we can still do good no
• 18:23
  matter what and to appreciate each and every moment, including
• 18:28
  this one that we have right now. So.
• 18:40
  Today we're going to make Ravio duster of the day, and I'm going
• 18:46
  to do it no matter how much I cry.
• 18:48
  Help me pick up the golden Horn and stick it on our friend Ravio
• 18:58
  up in heaven, OK? We love you, buddy.
• 19:02
  Thank you. Really was a great guy.
• 19:06
  Really is a great guy and you know what he did will continue
• 19:11
  to to make a difference. OK, now let's talk about
• 19:15
  something exciting. I'm going to try to change my
• 19:17
  mind here because Robbie would want me to do that.
• 19:20
  Don't forget guys I had yesterday.
• 19:22
  We had technical problems, but I did have on our friend Jax from
• 19:26
  Meme Con Meme Con is like a conference get together, huge
• 19:31
  meet up for everybody in the meme coin sector.
• 19:34
  He made an exciting announcement, what was new to me
• 19:37
  yesterday, that they're going to do the Meme Con conference
• 19:41
  during the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas this year in April.
• 19:46
  And I know a lot of you guys are getting pumped up about this.
• 19:50
  He wants us to come. He wants UFD to be highly
• 19:53
  involved. I keep telling him you need to
• 19:55
  have DJ Litmus. It's going to be a one day
• 19:57
  event, but it's going to be, you know, at the same time as the
• 20:00
  Bitcoin conference. And like he was saying, Bitcoins
• 20:04
  a meme coin. And I got to believe that myself
• 20:06
  as well. And we are baby Bitcoin.
• 20:09
  I think it's a great idea. Let me run out here and show you
• 20:13
  guys real quickly. You can go to their website.
• 20:18
  This is memecon dot lol there's an announcement out there.
• 20:23
  Upcoming events Bitcoin 2026 memecoin Las Vegas get tickets
• 20:30
  here. There's some announcements and
• 20:33
  let me see if I can pull up his here.
• 20:37
  I'll just share the screen. Who doesn't want to see a boomer
• 20:41
  in his tighty whitey's jumping on his ping pong table a few
• 20:43
  more times? Meme, See if I can pull this up.
• 20:48
  There it is. OK, you can go to the meme Con
• 20:52
  profile account, whatever the heck it's called on X.
• 20:55
  That's at Meme Con under score. OMG.
• 20:59
  And there's more information out there about it as well.
• 21:02
  I just think that it could be a great thing for meme coins to be
• 21:06
  out there in Vegas having their own separate event that I think
• 21:10
  will generate a lot of interest, a lot of excitement.
• 21:15
  And there you go. That's where you can check it
• 21:17
  out there as well. And the guy that runs it Jacks.
• 21:20
  You know, I've known him from almost the very beginning of the
• 21:23
  creation of our project of of Unicorn fart dust.
• 21:26
  I I believe him to be one of the good, good, good, in my opinion,
• 21:30
