📣 Sunday SPECIAL GUEST - Ryan Casey Waller - $UFD - UNICORN FART DUST meme coin · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

0:01
Welcome to a special edition of Duster Club.
0:04
Today we're joined by Ryan Casey Waller.
0:07
He's a critical member of our community.
0:10
He's also an attorney. He's also a psychotherapist.
0:13
Let's bring him up right now because Ryan, we've got a lot to
0:17
talk about today. Thank you for being here.
0:20
Thanks for being in Ron's basement.
0:21
Thanks for being such a critical member of the UFD Unicorn Fart
0:25
Dust community. And happy to be a member of the
0:29
community and happy to be here. Thanks for having me, Ron.
0:32
Yeah, well, I think it's important you tell everyone a
0:34
little bit about yourself. I know.
0:37
Like I said, you're an attorney, you're a psychotherapist.
0:40
Give us an idea kind of your background and and then then
0:44
we'll dive into some critical things we want to talk about
0:47
regarding UFD. Yeah, for sure.
0:49
Yeah. So as you say, I'm a
0:51
psychotherapist. So that is my job day in and day
0:54
out. I'm in the room doing the
0:55
clinical work. And I am also an attorney.
1:00
But nothing I say here is should be considered, you know, legal
1:03
counsel or or financial advice or or therapeutic counsel in any
1:08
of that stuff. But yeah, I'm a husband and a
1:12
father, but I'm, I'm a crypto enthusiast and I've been in the,
1:16
in this crypto space for, for a while now.
1:20
And, and more recently, you know, came into meme coins.
1:23
And for the first time ever, I'm one of those guys who I think a
1:27
lot like are a lot of people that were on crypto Twitter for
1:30
a long time following the space investing, but not really a part
1:33
of the conversation. And it was really only with the
1:36
discovery of of you and UFD that I really felt compelled to step
1:42
in and to start talking about why I think not only this space
1:47
is important, but what I really saw in UFD as being very, very
1:50
special. And I think some of my insights
1:54
in the way that I view the world and even the work that I do
1:56
philosophically and psychologically, which maybe we
1:58
can talk about, really aligns with what's happening here in
2:02
UFD. And I and I think that I've got
2:04
a little bit of, of insight into why I think it's so important
2:08
and why I think this is going to go where I think it's going to
2:10
going to go. OK, so that so that begs the
2:13
question, what's going on with UFD?
2:15
Give it. Let's hear it from you.
2:17
OK, all right, all right. So I mean, Simply put, if we're
2:21
trying to talk about this coin to people who are not super, you
2:25
know, familiar with mean meme coins, where I want to start is
2:30
to say, you know, when Murad gave his kind of sort of great
2:35
talk that's been pinned and it's all over, you know, the Internet
2:39
about this super cycle with meme coins, He hit on something that
2:43
I think UFD really is like the literal incarnation of.
2:48
He says meme coins sort of at their essence are these
2:50
tokenized vessels of faith, which that's sort of like a a
2:55
mouthful, but I think it's really important.
2:57
Here's why a vessel is something that human beings get in to take
3:02
them somewhere, right? So if you're thinking about the
3:05
vessel. So what's the vessel?
3:06
Well, UFD that that's the token. It's a tokenized vessel of
3:10
faith. Well, faith in what what do we
3:12
what do we mean here? Here's what I think is going on.
3:16
As human beings, we not only want to have security in life,
3:21
we don't only want to have financial prosperity.
3:23
We want to believe in things that matter because we are, we
3:27
are meaning making creatures. And so we are looking around,
3:32
trying to find something that's worthwhile.
3:35
And so we look for the stories that are the most important and,
3:40
and you can see this, that all of human history, all of
3:43
cultures are always built on stories because we want to enter
3:47
a story because we want that story to take us somewhere
3:51
that's meaningful and is bigger and even beyond our wildest
3:55
imagination. That's what meme coins are at
3:59
their best, which is very different than a lot of what's
4:01
going on. But UFD is literally this
4:03
tokenized vessel of faith that allows people to enter a story
4:07
and discover things about themselves they didn't know and
4:09
a whole new world, basically. That's it in a nutshell.
4:13
And and so when it wow, that's very interesting.
4:15
So I'm envisioning us all like getting on the Unicorn together
4:19
and going on a journey together. What's the meaning behind it?
4:23
Because you know, Ryan, I didn't do this on purpose, right?
4:26
I didn't strategize to create this this wonderful journey that
4:31
we're all on. And I guess I can feel the
4:34
meaning, but it's hard for me to put it into words.
4:37
To me, the meaning is fairness and equality and honesty and
4:42
transparency and kind of like the little guy and the big guy.
4:47
We love our whales. We love all, you know,
4:48
everybody's welcome here, but everybody kind of having a fair
4:52
shot is that. But but that's the way I see it.
4:55
That doesn't mean that that that's the way that these
4:57
thousands of other people and the viewer, right?
5:00
There's you and I talking right now, but there's this 3rd, 4th,
5:03
5th, 6th, and now almost 1000 other people that have joined us
5:07
that have their own vision of what the meaning is.
5:11
And you know, now that I'm on that, I'll encourage everyone
5:14
who's joining us. Send me an e-mail, let me know
5:17
what you see as the meaning, because it's important to me
5:21
that I understand not just what I see Unicorn fart as meaning,
5:25
but what the what the community feels that it means as well.
5:30
It's a great question because I think here's what the beauty is.
5:33
There's the values that people are attracted to.
5:35
Like you say, you know, the honesty, integrity, prosperity,
5:39
fairness, all of that. That's a, that's a critical
5:42
component of true successful meme coins.
5:46
People are attracted to the values we want to have values,
5:48
values are what Orient our lives.
5:51
But the meaning, this is the beauty, the meaning gets created
5:55
in the community itself. So again, if we come back to
5:59
this image of, of a vessel, if we're going to all get on a ship
6:02
and take a journey together, we don't know exactly what the
6:05
meaning is until we take the journey together.
6:08
Because when, when people come together, right?
6:11
And, and they, and they and they form a community, then the
6:14
meaning gets created out of the individual, individual
6:17
creativity and individual contributions of the community,
6:21
which is like exactly what we're seeing with UFD, all the art
6:25
that's being made the in real life, I mean, the content, I
6:29
mean, take me for example, and I wanted to share this.
6:33
If somebody would have told me, Hey, Ryan, you know, two months
6:37
ago, Hey, you're going to, there's going to be this, you
6:40
know, meme coin made by this guy, Ron, right out of his
6:43
basement. And in your, you're going to
6:44
find it. And it's going to represent all
6:46
these things that you've been looking for in, in this space.
6:49
And, and, and you're going to invest in it.
6:51
And then one afternoon you're going to be coming home from a
6:54
haircut, what little hair you have left, and you're going to
6:57
feel this compulsion to pull out your phone, make a video about
7:02
crypto, which you've never done in your life, put it on X.
7:05
And then it's going to get 50,000 views.
7:08
And then all of a sudden you're, you're going to feel committed
7:10
to do this every single day. And then I would have the
7:12
opportunity to, to, to become your friend and, and get to talk
7:16
about something that I'm passionate about.
7:18
I would have said, that's crazy. I would have said, that's
7:21
impossible. That's not a space that, that I
7:23
have any influence in no belonging.
7:26
And yet I I followed. I followed that voice right into
7:31
the kind of fairy tale land and here we are.
7:35
So the meaning gets created in the journey with one another in
7:41
the community. It's like an, it's like an
7:43
evolution based upon the actions that people take.
7:48
It's kind of like when, when I say tell people like I can't
7:51
tell you to trust me, but I can earn your trust, right?
7:54
Over the period of nine weeks, you know, 'cause 9 weeks ago
7:58
today, I didn't know you. I didn't know Unicorn fart test.
8:01
Unicorn fart test didn't exist. But from the very beginning, I
8:05
just, I told people that I will go live every single day.
8:09
There's, you know, whatever I tell, I will be completely
8:11
transparent with what I do. But I can't like I can't force
8:16
people to trust me. I can only earn their trust.
8:19
And I think what I hear you saying about meaning is I can't
8:23
sit here and say this is the meaning of Unicorn fart dust.
8:27
It really, it's like everything else about Unicorn fart dust.
8:31
It is created and evolves out of what the community makes of it
8:36
and makes of this journey. Like like we all when you, you
8:39
keep saying vessel and when you say vessel, I envision us all
8:42
being on the back of a Unicorn together, holding on.
8:45
But like we're on this journey together and where it goes and,
8:49
and how it evolves is really up to the people.
8:53
But I also want to throw and I think we're in a very unique
8:56
situation where the good people are the ones who are sticking
9:00
around. Like the diamond hooves are the
9:03
people. I like to use the same that like
9:06
the cream is rising to the top. And I've, I've I've noticed that
9:10
as the as the community has evolved over the last nine
9:14
weeks, like the good people are assuming like leadership roles,
9:19
for lack of a better way to say it.
9:21
And, and people say, well, Ron, you need to do this like, I
9:24
can't, you know, I didn't, I, I didn't strategically plan for
9:30
this to happen 9 weeks ago today.
9:33
The last thing, I'm like you, the last thing I would have been
9:35
thinking about is that I'm going to have a meme coin and it's
9:38
going to completely transform my life.
9:40
The community made this happen and I think that that in that
9:44
lies our strength in a lot of ways and that the community will
9:48
continue to make this happen despite the fact that a lot of
9:51
people want to push me and say, oh, you should do this, you
9:53
should do that. And there are certain things
9:55
that we need to do, no doubt about it, and we're doing those
9:58
things. But at the heart of it, at the
10:01
core of it, what makes us different, what makes us unique,
10:05
is that this is really a purely community driven initiative.
10:10
Yeah, that's right. And this is what makes it so, so
10:13
special is that it truly was an organic birth like we have we
10:18
have one of those miraculous sort of origin stories that no
10:22
VC or you know, can, can create, right?
10:25
They they want to, they want to, they want to create these, you
10:28
know, fabricate these, these stories.
10:30
This this is authentic, right? So we know your story how it,
10:34
how it came to be. And then to your point, the
10:37
other community members, they, they, they follow you, but they,
10:41
then they begin to rise up themselves and say, OK, OK, this
10:45
is how we build this thing out. Because ultimately community
10:49
doesn't really mean anything if people don't feel like they have
10:53
a sense of belonging. And the, and the best way for
10:56
people to feel like they belong to something is to contribute to
10:59
something. And you, you just talk to anyone
11:01
who's run any kind of organization, particularly like
11:04
a, a kind of, a, maybe like a nonprofit or religious,
11:09
something that's about like a, a bigger mission.
11:12
And you'll discover you want people to be committed.
11:15
You wait, you give them, you give them a grand vision.
11:18
And then you wait for the people who really want to do something,
11:20
then they begin to do something. And then other people follow
11:22
them. There's all these different
11:23
acolytes, you know, and, and disciples and it keeps the
11:26
community then grows itself. And that's one of the things
11:30
that Murad talks about and says that's that's the real secret
11:33
sauce is if you can find a meme coin that has a community where
11:36
the community takes responsibility, or then
11:40
continuing to build out the community, boom, now you've got
11:43
something really, really special.
11:45
And that's what's happening right now with UFDI mean
11:48
despite, you know, this this very challenging market that
11:51
we're in for crypto and meme coins in particular, despite
11:55
this kind of mayhem that's erupting.
11:57
And maybe we'll talk about that a little bit later within the
12:00
meme coin sector with all these gambling coins and rug poles and
12:03
everything else that's still happening after 9 weeks with
12:08
UFDI, feel like the community continues to forge ahead.
12:13
The, the community continues to galvanized and the new people
12:18
are joining and the people are, it feels like we are like we're
12:22
moving into this area where, where people are starting to
12:25
take responsibility and starting to take, you know, initiative to
12:30
do things for on their own. I mean, it's unbelievable what
12:33
the community did last week with the, with the Ledger meme coin
12:38
battle Royale, right? I mean, look at the, look at the
12:41
coins that we beat. I mean, these are, these are
12:43
the, the top dogs in the meme coin sector in our community,
12:48
like organized itself and, and, and, and put out these
12:51
initiatives and we were able to win.
12:53
Look at what they did with on Valentine's Day.
12:56
You know, we've got people that are just, and I don't want to
12:59
name names. They know who they are.
13:01
And because there's too many names, the name, but there are
13:04
some leaders, you know, there's Emma and Crypt Wizard and a
13:06
number of other people that really took on big
13:09
responsibilities. It's, it's a very interesting,
13:12
it's very, very encouraging to watch.
13:14
Oh, it's it's it's it's insane to think about.
13:17
And I don't want to name the name names either because
13:19
they're there's so many, but I mean, let's name Emma and and
13:22
crypto wizard. Like the amount of organization
13:27
and networking, and I might say networking.
13:29
I mean, bringing people together and the way that they were doing
13:32
it, sharing. Okay, here's what we need to do.
13:34
Got to keep going. I mean, the leadership is
13:37
remarkable. All the different conversations
13:38
that I saw and, and again, if people don't understand the, the
13:42
other coins that we beat in that competition, I mean, they're
13:45
like the Goliath and, and weird David.
13:48
I mean, this is truly like it's, it's, it's wild to think about.
13:51
And that could only happen through like this rabid, you
13:54
know, dedication. And you're right, the past few
13:57
weeks in particular have been horrible in this space with the,
14:01
with the rug pulls and, and the scams and all of that.
14:03
And yet our community is becoming more committed because
14:08
people, I think, are thinking more about this story that
14:12
they're entering into and belonging to than just the price
14:14
action. The way that all of this works
14:17
is if you really have a story like this that provides meaning
14:20
in people's lives, then people will stay and the price will
14:23
eventually follow. So people aren't just obsessed
14:26
with it in abandoning ship like they were with other projects
14:30
because they're finding belonging.
14:32
They're finding something that they know isn't going to
14:36
disappear tomorrow and that they're going to and they're
14:38
getting to interact with and and that's literally, you know, that
14:43
and of itself is priceless. Yeah, Yeah, I'm trying.
14:46
I'm sorry. I was trying to bring up some
14:48
comments there. Somebody said Emma Encrypt
14:50
wizard equals the dynamic duo. Yeah, yeah.
14:55
I mean, when you think about what our community was doing
14:58
over the last, over the last week, and then you think about
15:03
what was going on in the mean coin sector as a whole here we
15:06
have a community that's organizing itself, taking on
15:10
initiatives, focused on good, focused on honesty, focused on
15:14
integrity. And then and it's not, it's not
15:17
the entire meme coin sector, but I've been around long enough now
15:21
nine weeks is like 9 years, I think in the public sector to be
15:25
able to say like, you know, the other things that are going on
15:29
with like this Argentina coin and all this, it's, it's just
15:33
really bad, nasty stuff. Whereas we're over here
15:38
promoting honesty, integrity, transparency and and I want to
15:42
get your take on this too, because I'm seeing more and more
15:45
people like these leaders on on on crypto Twitter, people that
15:50
have two hundred 300,000 followers that are putting out
15:53
these tweets like like, I think it's time that we have a coin
15:57
that's really for the people and really honest.
15:59
And I'm like, hello. And then I read the comments and
16:02
people like check out UFD. It's like a lot of these these
16:05
leaders are saying that, but I'm waiting for them to really fully
16:11
like endorse us or endorse somebody else that really is
16:15
standing for like transparency and honesty.
16:19
It feels like the market is is hungry for that right now.
16:25
Yeah, it's desperate for this. And it's not a coincidence that
16:30
this came alive, you know, 9 weeks ago.
16:33
And then all these events have been happening.
16:35
And in some, in some ways I see, you know, the massive disaster
16:40
that it seems that the, the, the Libra project was is really
16:44
representative of all these other ones.
16:46
And I think it's a great purging.
16:49
Like people understand now, OK, this is not the way they're
16:53
always going to be. People out there that are going
16:55
to basically that coin, well, I got to be careful.
17:01
The coins that people are done with are the ones that are built
17:05
to only use retail as exit liquidity, right?
17:09
That that's it. And so when people realize, OK,
17:13
so if you're not a part of that conversation ahead of time, it's
17:17
that age, it's that age-old thing.
17:18
Like if you play in poker and you can't spot the sucker at the
17:21
table, like you, you are the sucker, OK?
17:23
And so people are going to, they're going to realize at some
17:26
point, or a lot of people actually aren't going to realize
17:28
because I mean, it's like, go to Vegas and just walk through and
17:30
you'll see people that are just going to keep throwing their
17:32
money at it. Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine,
17:34
fine. But the people that are really
17:36
passionate about meme coins and if they're looking for what's
17:40
legitimate, they're going to find UFD.
17:45
And once they realize that it's not only offers all of the fun
17:51
of a meme coin, but that it's stable and a safe haven, then
17:56
you're going to, I think we're going to see, again, not
17:59
financial advice, but I think we're going to see what your ad
18:04
has said. We are going to see meme coins
18:07
that go to market caps that we can't even imagine.
18:12
And I think there is no better coin to lead that super cycle
18:17
than UFT. Yeah.
18:19
And, and I, and I want to point out as well that this came to
18:23
mind as you were speaking. You know, everyday I'm getting
18:29
stories either on the phone or e-mail or DMS, whatever, when
18:33
I'm talking to people hearing about, oh, my, my 64 year old
18:39
mom or my 74 year old dad or my, or my brother or my cousin,
18:44
whoever. Like I'm hearing about people
18:45
who are buying UFD with with no intention of ever selling it of
18:50
like truly diamond hoof people, you know, And I think that that
18:54
really is unique with us because by definition, these gambling
18:58
coins, right? These pump and dump schemes are
19:01
not long term, are not long term propositions for people.
19:06
I mean, look, I'm no guru. I still tip my horn to the Murad
19:12
because that that speech that he gave was one of the first ones
19:15
that I ever that really turned me on to what's going on in this
19:19
sector. But most of these coins that
19:21
that, that and not the ones that he follows and supports because
19:25
there are some other great coins out there.
19:27
But most of these coins that are coming up, look, I've been in
19:30
the financial markets for decades.
19:32
I mean, they are pumping dumps. And if they did that on a normal
19:37
like Stock Exchange or whatever, those guys would be in big, big
19:41
trouble. OK, I mean, big, big trouble.
19:44
It's this unregulated environment.
19:46
But that doesn't mean that people still don't want security
19:51
and still don't want something that is well, I think that that
19:57
gives real value from the community, right?
19:59
I mean, I guess that was my next question.
20:01
Question for you. Is there real value here?
20:04
I mean, look, when I look, 9 weeks ago, Ryan, I would have
20:06
sat down here in this basement and if you'd asked me about a
20:10
meme coin, I would have said, yeah, it's all a bunch of
20:12
Unicorn fart dust, right? I I had a transformative.
20:17
Experience quickly after I created Unicorn fart test to
20:20
realize, but do you see the value?
20:23
I mean, because because let me throw this out.
20:25
Well, go ahead. I want to get your answer, then
20:27
I think I have something that's really cool to say.
20:30
OK, well don't forget. But yeah, I mean I could go on
20:33
for ages but look for people that don't understand crypto.
20:38
If you study the history of money, money is what we all
20:41
decide it is. It is.
20:43
So whoever tells the best story effectively with money gets to
20:46
decide what money is. And Long story short, we have
20:51
decided collectively at this point in 2025 that that that
20:56
crypto is money. And so you want to find money
21:00
that, you know, when you wake up tomorrow, when you go to check
21:04
your wallet, whether that be physical, right, or, or digital,
21:07
you want to know that it's going to be there, right?
21:10
Yeah. OK.
21:10
And we understand that value is going to rise and value is going
21:13
to fall, but taking risk is totally different than like,
21:17
well, I'm going to put this $100 on my night stand and it might
21:21
be there in the morning and it might not be there in the
21:23
morning. That's, that's what the pumping
21:25
dump stuff is with Unicorn fart dust.
21:29
You can put it there and you can understand there's going to be
21:32
volatility, but over a long time horizon, we're headed in in a
21:37
good direction. So the stability and the value
21:40
of knowing that, you know, it's not going to disappear, I think
21:42
it's which is huge, yeah. Yeah, And when I and when I
21:46
think about the value that we have in the community, I think
21:50
about relationships, right? I like to use this example when
21:55
people people ask me like, how can it be worth anything?
21:57
How can crypto be worth anything?
22:00
And I was one of those people a few years back, right?
22:03
How could Unicorn fart dust be worth anything?
22:07
And I asked them the simple question.
22:09
I say, well, what's the most valuable thing to you in your
22:13
life of everything in your life? And everybody always answers a
22:16
question the same way. They'll say some type of
22:18
relationship, family, daughter, whatever.
22:21
And I'm like, well, that's what we have within UFD.
22:25
We have this family, we have this relationship, we have this
22:28
community right now. What I was going to say earlier,
22:31
which I think is important to, to, to, to, to understand about
22:35
what we have here is that, you know, even when I look at stocks
22:39
like Apple or Tesla, like stocks that have our Nike companies
22:43
that have like a cult following, and I don't like to refer to us
22:47
as a cult. I'd say cult like COLT, but not,
22:49
not a cult. Like I'm not telling people
22:51
we're not telling people what to do or how to do it or anything
22:54
like that. We got But anyway, like our
22:57
relationship, our following, I would say is even more maybe not
23:01
as big in numbers as a Tesla or an Apple by any stretch of the
23:06
imagination, But I would think that it's stronger if that might
23:10
be smaller. But our but our bonds are
23:13
actually probably as strong or stronger than almost any
23:17
community that I see out there. Again, and numbers wise, sure,
23:20
there's there's, you know, communities that are bigger, you
23:24
know, there's kind of a, a, a, a community that loves Nike, Nike,
23:29
you know, no doubt, right, But I don't think that they're nearly
23:32
as strong as when it comes to the bond of the relationship
23:37
that people feel like they feel with Unicorn fart does within
23:40
this community. There's there's no way that they
23:43
can with the Tesla and the Nike and the Apple, because how many
23:48
of those people got to be a part of starting those organizations?
23:54
This is what this is what's wild about this.
23:56
When we look for stories on the inside of us, we all want to go
24:00
on what I would call like a mythic journey.
24:03
We, we want to experience something in the outer world
24:05
that matches that like longing that we've all had in our hearts
24:09
since we were kids to be a part of something great.
24:13
How many times I just want to everyone who, who's watching,
24:15
when have you ever, if you ever have been able to participate
24:20
truly in the genesis of a movement of meaning, like, like,
24:25
how often do you get that opportunity in life?
24:29
The, the, for a lot of people, this might be the only chance.
24:32
And so you want to seize it. And, and I think that's truly
24:35
what came over me. You know, whenever it was in, in
24:38
December, I just thought, Oh my, Oh my gosh, I just knew this was
24:43
something really, really special.
24:46
And I thought, I don't want to miss an opportunity to be a part
24:49
of this. I, I, I want to go.
24:50
So I, I think we have, we have a chance.
24:55
We, we have a chance in, in this to be in a community where
24:59
people have bonds and commitments that that can't
25:02
really be rivaled. And so I know the word cult has
25:05
a lot of these negative associations, but cultish
25:08
behavior, it, it is meaningful and helpful because people are
25:12
totally committed. And there's a reason that word
25:14
feels appropriate here because I do think it matches the level of
25:19
of diamond hoofs like you just you get locked into it and you
25:22
don't want to let it go because you want it to be now a part of
25:24
your life. You want it to be an aspect of
25:26
your identity. Yeah, I love that that we are on
25:29
this epic journey because I guess sometimes it hits me or
25:37
sometimes I don't realize just how unique and special this
25:42
situation really is. You know, again, I'll say like I
25:46
sat right over there at my desk and you know, 9 weeks ago spent
25:51
$100 and created this, this theme coin as an experiment.
25:56
And then it has turned into like a life changing.
25:59
It was a lot, It's a life changing experience for me.
26:02
And I think it's a life changing experience for a lot of people
26:05
as well. And then on top of that, Ryan,
26:07
you know, I, I can't help every time I'm live, but the point
26:10
where you can't see it, but my jug of beans next to me, like as
26:14
we move down this road together, on top of that, we have an
26:18
opportunity. We really do have an opportunity
26:20
for prosperity because every day that goes by, every time we get
26:24
more and more people, we get closer to there being a bean
26:29
shortage. Yeah, that's right.
26:31
And at a certain point, I mean, the, the communities that are
26:34
really committed, this is what happens.
26:36
And when we have data, you know, the, the coins will pump.
26:39
They really, really will pump. I mean, because the supply shock
26:42
will happen. People want to be a part of it
26:44
there. There's FOMO, but it's just not
26:46
going to be these quick pumps and and be over.
26:48
I mean, this is going to keep going.
26:50
But yeah, the, the time will come.
26:51
I mean, there's a here's another really important element of
26:56
Unicorn fart dust that that that Murad and the others who've
26:59
really, you know, studied these and you know, are speak
27:03
intelligently about meme coins is that meme coins provide the
27:08
opportunity. And I don't mean this in a
27:10
disparaging way. This is Murad's language, he
27:12
says for for poor people to get rich.
27:14
So they represent an opportunity for people to come into
27:18
something that otherwise, like in the past would have been off
27:22
limits to them unless there were some kind of accredited investor
27:26
or a part of something, right. This gives people that the
27:28
chance to come in and just have access, have fair access to
27:33
something that could potentially bring them life changing, you
27:38
know, money. And again, I think given the,
27:43
our, our day and age, and I, I'm not an expert on this, but I do
27:47
talk to a lot of people and people find it really difficult,
27:52
you know, in this day and age to kind of break out economically.
27:57
And I think there are some people, particularly younger
27:59
people right now who understand that crypto and particularly
28:02
meme coins represent an opportunity to change their
28:06
lives financially. That's not a small matter.
28:12
It's difficult out there for people.
28:15
And so even especially right now, people might be upset about
28:18
the price. But if you think more long term,
28:21
this is an opportunity for people to to get in on this
28:24
thing before it takes off again. And it really could, you know,
28:30
bring, bring people opportunities financially that
28:32
they otherwise just well. Because because I think that a
28:36
lot of the coins they come out and even some of the, the alt
28:39
coins, the bigger coins that are started by venture capital
28:43
firms. And I and I read this several
28:45
Times Now and it makes perfect sense.
28:48
Like they've got two rounds of investing.
28:51
So maybe there's $30 million invested into these coins.
28:54
And then when they do, I think they're called IC OS, right?
28:57
When they go out public, they go out at a real high valuation.
29:01
And essentially then what happens is they use that as a
29:06
liquidation event for the people, the rich guys to, to
29:10
cash out to get all their money out.
29:11
And those coins all good, just goes down, down, down, down,
29:14
down. Like it's a, a common
29:16
occurrence. Whereas we really are the
29:20
people's coin, right? I mean, we were the people's
29:23
coin from the very first day that I created the thing.
29:27
And we, we, I mean, other people say, oh, we're the people's
29:29
coin. But well, no, this like really
29:32
is the people's coin. And I appreciate you pointing
29:34
that out because I forget about that.
29:36
I think it is giving the opportunity for average everyday
29:40
people to make unbelievable wealth.
29:42
Let me let me pull something up. Brown, did you have something to
29:44
say? Go ahead.
29:45
Well, just to that point with these coins where there's this,
29:49
you know, fundraising that goes on or coins are passed out when
29:53
they when they come out, people think that they're early.
29:56
Yeah. But then so when they come out
29:58
and then and then the investors like they use this as a
30:00
liquidity event. So the coin drops, but they're
30:04
up 100X or whatever it might be and everybody else kind of loses
30:09
here. Y'all, if you're here, you
30:12
really are early in there, right?
30:15
You're, you're, this is the access like you have it.
30:18
This is the thing you've always wanted.
30:20
To this is the funding round right?
30:22
This is. The funding round you, you want
30:23
to get in the room where it happens as they as they sing in
30:26
Hamilton. Like this is the room, the room
30:29
that you've been kept out of. Like here you go, you're in it.
30:32
You have your opportunity. Go by UFD, you're in it, OK.
30:35
Yeah, yeah. This is this is the funding
30:37
round. Well, and to your point, because
30:39
I wanted to I just think this is an incredible.
30:41
I want to pull this up and I showed it earlier today, but I
30:44
think it's worth showing again. Hold on here, wrong one.
30:48
There we go, this from Emma that showed the top ten social meme
30:53
coins from yesterday. And there we are.
30:55
We're #10 on the list. OK yeah, but look at our market
30:58
cap compared to I think DOGE, I figured was 1000 times higher
31:04
than we are right now. And there is nothing keeping us
31:07
from being eventually as big as Doge or bigger.
31:10
OK. But all these other coins that I
31:14
mean, like, like this is the funding round for UFD, right?
31:19
Like we aren't, we aren't some big, you know, we aren't we
31:23
aren't we aren't coming out at some, you know, 4 billion, eight
31:26
billion, 20 billion valuation. This is the room, like you said.
31:31
This is the room and and let me tell this story just because I
31:35
was I was there. I think people see that number
31:38
with Doge and they think 40 billion, like that's just their,
31:41
their brain goes like haywire and it's like, oh, we, we could
31:45
never in 2021, I believe. And people can Fact Check me on
31:51
this somewhere around there. Whenever it was in the, it was
31:54
in the spring when, when Doge went from wherever it was not a
31:58
lot all the way up to like 69 cents or something.
32:02
I had the horrible experience of being one of those people who
32:05
had only like a little while before then, you know, it was
32:08
like trading Doge just thinking it's not really worth all that
32:11
much. You have tons of it.
32:12
You know, I don't know how big this thing can get.
32:15
But then I watched something go from here, like up and beyond
32:20
heaven. And I thought, Oh my goodness,
32:22
that's what blew my mind. I thought, any, anything is
32:24
possible here. So when we, when, when you say
32:28
right, there is nothing, literally nothing.
32:32
It's true. It is I I've asked, I won't name
32:37
names, but I, I, I've asked like very well known people in the
32:42
crypto world, what's keeping because when I found out here,
32:45
let me bring it over. When I found out, I got to show
32:48
it one time that there's only 999 million beings 900.
32:52
I was that that was like one of the, I watched Myriad's talk
32:57
that really got me excited about community.
32:59
Then when I the next question I had was, well, how many more
33:02
beans can they make? Or is it?
33:04
And I found out that it's absolutely limited.
33:07
And I talked to then the top people that I could talk to and
33:11
ask them the question and they all say the same thing.
33:14
There's nothing keeping UFD from being as big as any other meme
33:18
coin in history. There's nothing stopping us.
33:21
And I would think that we've got a better shot than than most any
33:25
because of our just pure organic.
33:28
I mean, I don't know the history of doge and I'm not putting doge
33:31
down. I'm not putting any of these
33:31
other coins down. But I don't see how any other
33:35
community, how we, there could be anything that would rival our
33:40
story and the, and the, the strength that we have, because
33:46
this has been just an organic growth story from day one.
33:51
I, I don't see it. I just, I don't see any other
33:54
any, any reason why we, we don't have that potential And and as
33:59
this community continues to expand.
34:01
Yeah, I mean, who who's having more fun than we are?
34:04
Like who's who's got their dev that comes on and talks to him
34:08
every day? They're they're the great
34:11
communities and they do wonderful things.
34:12
What, what I would say to our community is if we just keep
34:17
creating our community, then we will be a community of
34:20
attraction, right? We'll be our own evangelist.
34:24
We are our own evangelist. We keep pouring into this
34:27
community. We all keep building.
34:29
If we care about one another, if we really show up for one
34:32
another, more people are going to want to come.
34:34
Well, and the beautiful thing about meme coins is more people
34:37
wanting to come means more people are buying the coins
34:40
because you're not going to come to this community and just like
34:42
want to watch what's happening. You're going to be like, Oh my
34:44
goodness, I, I can invest in this thing.
34:46
And then and then, and then my identity is not only kind of
34:49
wrapped up in it, but also my financial future.
34:51
Well, like, yeah, I, I want to do that.
34:54
So there, there's nothing stopping us.
34:56
And we really are unique in that.
34:58
There's that's the beauty about like every story is unique and,
35:01
and our story has these elements to it that you simply cannot
35:05
replicate. Like you've said this before,
35:07
this is never going to happen again.
35:09
Like never. It can't.
35:11
I can't do it again, Ryan, I, I, I really can't go.
35:14
I can't make my 1st meme coin. You know that that ship has
35:18
sailed. I could never make another.
35:20
I could never make remake Unicorn fart dust.
35:23
You couldn't. You know, it's it's impossible
35:26
and go ahead. Well, it's impossible and that's
35:30
another thing, right? This is your focus.
35:32
Like you've done UFD and you know, I who knows, but like I, I
35:37
don't think you're doing anything else in the mean point
35:40
space except for UFD. I'm, I'm 100% focused on UFD and
35:45
I've told everyone I'm 100% transparent.
35:48
I've been 100% transparent. I will continue to be 100%
35:52
transparent. I've made commitments as to when
35:55
that I wouldn't sell beans. I didn't sell beans.
35:58
I can't help that the guy hacked me, but the community, by the
36:01
way, is almost completely replenished my bean supply,
36:05
which is Susie called me the other night.
36:08
She had the girls at a trampoline park or she texted me
36:11
and she said I just I just real. She just realized she just
36:14
looked. She's like she said I'm crying.
36:17
Then you know that this has happened and I'm like, I know, I
36:20
understand and maybe I don't say it enough, but that's to me like
36:24
a massive thing that the community has done for me.
36:27
No, I'm 100% I can't do this again.
36:31
No, that is amazing. I mean, I hope everyone
36:34
understands if, if they've even come on in the last few weeks
36:36
understanding how big of a deal that hack was.
36:39
I mean, it was horrible. So many projects would have
36:41
fallen apart in that moment, you know?
36:44
And it strengthened us. Strengthened us because that's
36:48
what happens right? Again, in real community, this
36:51
and this mirrors all the other epic journeys.
36:54
A journey is not an epic journey without like trials and
36:57
tribulations. And you discover if something
36:59
actually has substance, if it has strength, well, what happens
37:02
through the trial is that it gets fortified.
37:06
That which is flimsy, not real superficial, it breaks, it
37:10
burns, it falls away. But when you really got
37:13
something, you emerge from the fire stronger than you were
37:17
prior, and the community rallying together and sending
37:21
you your tokens demonstrated how strong the community actually is
37:27
and how determined people are. And it speaks to the reality
37:30
that they're they're simply not going away.
37:34
Yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's an incredible
37:38
story. It's an incredible situation.
37:41
You know, I was talking to, but I mentioned it earlier today.
37:45
I was talking to a friend of mine who's a high level
37:49
financial executive, I guess you would say in Saint Louis,
37:52
decades of experience, still working still.
37:54
I mean, he knows markets, he knows everything.
37:56
He knows what's going on with meme coins.
37:58
He knows what's going on with UFD.
38:01
He's not a meme. He's a, he's a financial, a
38:03
traditional financial services pro.
38:05
And I was talking to him about, and he was asking me about, he
38:10
had heard about what went on with the, is it Libra, the
38:12
Argentina coin, the most recent one.
38:14
And yeah. And I was like, yeah, I said
38:16
it's just, you know, and he brought up something
38:18
interesting. He said because he knows, like
38:21
he's following us close enough to know that what we're doing is
38:24
good. And he's like, you can always
38:26
remember that, Ron, like what you've done is good and what
38:30
your contribution to it is good. Cuz I don't take responsibility
38:34
for all the success that we've had.
38:36
Of course, right. It's the community that's done
38:38
this. But he brought up a great point,
38:41
he said. He said the more that these pump
38:43
and dump schemes come along, he said, the better that Unicorn
38:47
fart dust is going to look. Because I was expressing,
38:50
honestly some frustration. I'm like, you know, this gets
38:53
frustrating after a while and it's like, we're in this, we're
38:57
in this environment where, where we can't help but that we're in
38:59
the same pool with these, with these other companies that are,
39:03
you know, that old saying if you, if you, if you, if you hang
39:06
out in a bar long enough, you're probably going to get drunk.
39:08
Or if you hang out in the barbershop, you're going to get
39:10
a haircut. And he said, you know what
39:12
you're doing and what you got, what your community is showing
39:16
is that is that honesty and truth and integrity,
39:21
transparency can win, he said. And so the more they do that, he
39:25
said, the better you're going to look.
39:28
Any comments? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
39:30
The longer this goes on, I mean, he on Friday before Libra
39:34
happened, that happened, that was Friday night.
39:36
I think it kind of felt like nature was healing.
39:39
Like there's, it's like, Oh my goodness.
39:41
And then this, this massive, right?
39:43
This massive basically rug pool occurs.
39:46
And and I think I really do think that might have tipped the
39:50
scales. Like I said, like everyone,
39:53
they're always going to be people that are looking to
39:55
defraud other people that that's going to happen.
39:58
Right. But that was such a big, I don't
40:05
want to say shock, but it, it, it hurt a lot of people and that
40:10
I'm hoping that we are kind of turning a corner here and people
40:14
will gravitate more towards safety and and goodness.
40:19
And it is true that we're in the same pool.
40:21
But the reality is I would ask people to think about it again
40:24
as like an epic story. It's there's, there's good and
40:27
evil guys and, and, and, and the only way, right, good wins is
40:32
good, you know, confronts evil. And in this, in this way, how
40:36
are we confronting evil? Well, OK, we're doing this
40:39
completely different. This is going to be honest.
40:42
This is going to be fair, transparent.
40:44
And we, we, we, we care about each other.
40:46
We actually want to bring out what's good in one another.
40:49
And we know that because we know based upon the fruits what's
40:52
happening. Well, the goodness is coming up,
40:55
right? We're creating all this fun
40:57
energy that the art, genuine relationships.
41:01
Yeah, the the the utility. Acceptance, a, a sense of
41:06
belonging. I think that, you know, I read a
41:09
couple of things. I've read a couple things over
41:11
the past few months that I read one that said there's an
41:13
epidemic of isolation right now, not only in the United States,
41:18
but all around the world, right? And that people feel isolated
41:23
more and more and more. And that this, what this gives,
41:27
I guess Web 3, although I don't, I'm not, you know, web Web 3,
41:31
but what we're doing does give people an opportunity,
41:34
opportunity to, to get involved and to get and to feel like they
41:37
belong to something. Because we don't reject anybody,
41:41
right? I mean, we don't, I mean, it's
41:43
a, it's a, it's a, it's a community of attraction, not
41:47
promotion. Like we aren't out spending
41:49
money saying, Hey, come by Unicorn.
41:51
No, it's like, Hey, look what we've got and you're welcome
41:55
here. All we ask is that you're honest
41:57
and you're good and you're in. Who doesn't want to be dude?
41:59
Don't people at their core want to be honest and good and part
42:03
of something honest and good? Oh, absolutely.
42:05
I mean, I, I think that's the deepest sense that what we want
42:09
as human beings is we want belonging.
42:11
We want to love, we want to be loved.
42:13
And we know that love, genuine love only blooms in environments
42:18
where there is honesty and, you know, and, and integrity.
42:21
But yeah, we don't you, you want to be be here.
42:23
You, you, you guys can be here, right?
42:25
You, you can absolutely just belong.
42:27
Just you don't come. Oh, man, I had something else I
42:32
was about to say. Well.
42:33
I always tell people because I'm, I really am.
42:36
I'm getting these emails every day.
42:38
And today we had the, we had the big here.
42:40
Let's pull it up real quickly and then I'll, I'll make my
42:42
point. So there's Emma.
42:44
Oh, I wanted to point out on this as well.
42:46
Real quickly. When you look at where DOGE is
42:49
OK at 42 or 40 billion and you look at us roughly 1000, you
42:54
know, would be we would go up 1000 times to get to that point.
42:57
I'm not giving financial advice, I'm not making predictions
43:01
anything like that. But just to to think about that
43:03
for if, if UFD were to go up or if anything were to go up by
43:08
1000 times in value. You can take the value of out
43:12
whatever you're being are right now and add 3 zeros to the back
43:16
of it. Which is just mind numbing to me
43:19
to think about the what the potential is that we have in
43:23
terms of price, price appreciation.
43:27
But I I want people to imagine it.
43:30
Because we don't. We don't bring anything into
43:32
existence without first believing that it can be
43:36
possible. We can actually manifest, you
43:41
know, that word people throw around, they think it's all like
43:43
woo woo. But the reality is this is how
43:46
genuinely beautiful things come into the world.
43:48
We, we think of that which doesn't yet exist, that which we
43:53
would imagine is only fantastical.
43:55
We see it and then we, we move toward it.
43:57
And so we, we have the power to bring this about through our
44:01
participation. It's not like we're just sitting
44:03
home hoping. But if everybody asks
44:05
themselves, well, how can I, how can I contribute?
44:08
How can I show up for, for UFD? What is it that, that that I can
44:11
do again, the meaning gets created and there's, we have no
44:14
idea where this could go. I mean, to come back to me for a
44:17
moment and, and, and the loneliness that you were talking
44:20
about. I, of course, see this a lot in
44:22
my, my work. People are extremely isolated.
44:25
They feel disconnected, You know, many of the institutions
44:29
that people historically have trusted for community, you know,
44:33
in this country, they, they, they're, they're not
44:36
trustworthy. And I almost start ragging on,
44:38
but we all kind of know certain cultural institutions that don't
44:42
feel safe anymore, even with crypto.
44:48
I've been interested in crypto for years and years, but my
44:51
interest in crypto has always kind of been an isolating
44:55
interest for me. I never really have had any.
44:58
Not many of my friends are into it.
45:01
And the people that I would listen to and, and watch, I was
45:03
just a passive person, you know, with, with, with, with crypto in
45:07
terms of the conversation. This has given me UFT has given
45:10
me an opportunity to have relationships in crypto like
45:14
that didn't exist for me not not 9 weeks ago.
45:18
And these friendships I'm so grateful for.
45:21
And so I think that I know if that's been true for me, I know
45:24
it's true for other people. And how many other people are
45:27
there out there that want to, that want to a club they want
45:30
something to belong to that's going to be.
45:31
It and and if we get enough of these good people, 1000 X is not
45:37
out of the question. I mean it's not out of the
45:40
question. Again, I'm not making
45:42
predictions. Don't don't invest responsibly
45:45
with anything you invest and I'm not giving, I'm not a financial
45:48
advisor. But if we attract enough of
45:50
these good people, those types of returns are, are are are very
45:56
possible. You know, I was talking to Derek
45:58
David Gockstein earlier in the week and he brought, he said
46:02
something that I said long before I started Unicorn fart
46:05
test long before. And that is he said that.
46:08
He said, I believe that 9899% of the people in the world are
46:13
good. And, and I believe that too,
46:16
like 99, I think 99%, maybe more of the people in the world are
46:22
really good people. I think everybody in their part
46:25
is for the most part good. But like 99% of the people out
46:29
there, you know, the 1% gets a lot of attention because of the,
46:34
of the, of the mess they stir up.
46:36
But people are good and people want to be aligned with
46:40
something good and, and want to be aligned with something that
46:43
has a mission and a purpose and want to be aligned on for, for
46:49
this epic journey that you described that I think we're on
46:52
as well that we really can't define at this point, right?
46:56
Like, I remember a guy, you know, like, what's the vision
46:59
for UFD asked me early on? And I'm like, well, the vision
47:02
is this like this, like great movement that occurs that, that,
47:07
that creates a wonderful community and, and creates a lot
47:11
of prosperity and maybe through that creates a lot of charity on
47:14
top of it. But I can't really like, I can't
47:18
predict the future. Nobody can.
47:21
But I know where we're wanting to move, if that makes sense.
47:25
It does. This may make some people
47:29
uncomfortable, and I don't mean this in any blasphemous.
47:31
Don't make me uncomfortable. Try not to, but I'm a I'm also a
47:38
student of world religions. And when you study the world
47:41
religions, I mean, you look at the founders of religions, they
47:44
couldn't, they didn't know what the vision was, what they
47:47
stumbled upon or open themselves up to, often times, right, was
47:52
principles, ideas, values, what they saw as good.
47:57
And they shared it with other people.
48:00
And then the people themselves took it, you know, and ran.
48:03
And I, and I know religion has done lots of bad stuff, but also
48:07
religion has done lots and lots of good stuff.
48:09
But I'm just using that as the comparison to, to, to show that
48:12
you're right. What this becomes, we don't yet
48:15
know. But if you have a whole bunch of
48:17
good people coming into this and wanting to create more good and
48:21
taking that fundamental belief about people that we are good
48:25
and that we're looking and trying our hardest to bring
48:27
about more good, then we can only, I mean, again, only
48:31
imagine if we can't imagine what the hell behind the price could
48:33
go. Imagine all the charity, the
48:36
good work, the goodwill, what could be built out of this?
48:41
Yeah, it's endless. And, and you know, as a side
48:46
note, but I think this applies to what you're saying as well.
48:50
It's my understanding that we're becoming popular in India,
48:54
right? I had a couple Indian people
48:55
reach out to me and, and I thought about this the other
48:58
day, if everybody in India bought one coin, there would be
49:02
no more coins left, right? I mean, you know, and I know
49:05
that I think that we're one one of the more recent big listings
49:10
that we had kind of facilitated people in China to be able.
49:14
I mean, like there are so many people in the world and I'm
49:17
getting it from all over the world.
49:20
Like, I mean, people from Australia, people from the
49:23
United Kingdom, South America, everywhere, right, North
49:27
America, everywhere are interested in this.
49:30
And I think you know it, It's, it's, it's weird because we've
49:35
been doing it for 9 weeks. We've evolved.
49:37
We've, you know, been through some major up.
49:40
David Gockstein said it today. He's like, you guys have been
49:42
through everything in nine weeks.
49:44
I'm like, I know David, trust me, you should be inside my
49:47
head, man. But but we like survive and
49:51
continue to forge forward and there are so many people out
49:55
there. If there was this article, let
49:57
me pull it up real quickly just to show it.
49:59
But we were on the front page of hold on here, if I remember
50:05
wrong, 10 Darn it, I guess I, I forgot to load it up.
50:09
Shoot, sorry guys. I'll get it up again later.
50:12
That was the a note that somebody we were on the front
50:14
page of the Saint Louis paper of the Saint Louis Post dispatch,
50:17
which, you know, it's not the New York Times, but it's a big
50:20
major paper. And as we, as we get, as we, as
50:25
we, as we get exposure to this because we're really well known
50:29
within crypto Twitter, right? We got that.
50:31
We're doing great there and that's awesome.
50:33
And that's the heartbeat. That's where really the
50:35
community thrives and grows and, and spreads and, and kind of, I
50:41
guess the word forges or galvanizes our community.
50:45
But as we reach out further, we're going to get more and more
50:48
people. And one of my neighbors emailed
50:52
me or sent me a Facebook message message saying, Hey, we bought
50:55
some, we saw the new, the, the article in the paper.
50:57
We bought some beans and and what I told them was go to
51:01
crypto Twitter, go to X right and put in dollar sign UFD and
51:06
and say that you just bought some beans and see what you
51:09
experience with the people that are in this in the in the UFD
51:13
community. Absolutely.
51:14
I think that article, congratulations on that.
51:17
By the way, that's the beginning of the breakout of much bigger
51:21
media coverage to come. And we can only imagine once it
51:25
does really break out and get exit velocity out out of crypto
51:29
Twitter once more people hear the story are going to are going
51:32
to want to jump in and you're getting messages from all over
51:35
the world. I'm even getting them.
51:36
I've had conversations with people all over Europe people
51:39
saying, hey, I I look forward to not only the live stream, but
51:42
the videos. Thanks for your reflections.
51:43
I mean it it it's it's been so cool.
51:46
It is not localized and I like that you're thinking globally
51:49
because this is the beauty of crypto.
51:52
There are in in the same way that there are no barriers to
51:54
entry into our community, there are no barriers to entry into
51:58
this all over the world. I mean, there's nothing stopping
52:01
anyone right from investing in this if they have access to the
52:03
Internet. If they have access to the
52:05
Internet and they not only is it geographically decentralized,
52:11
but it's also decentralized from an age perspective.
52:15
You know, we've got little kids, we have older people.
52:18
It's also, I would say decentralized from a interest
52:22
perspective because, you know, we're not a coin that's specific
52:26
to the stock market or specific to men only who want to be macho
52:31
or Smith. Like we appeal to the broadest,
52:35
the broadest market. I think of of, you know, of, of
52:39
almost any meme coin out there. So the ability for us to bring
52:43
new people in is only limited by the number of people on the
52:47
planet, I guess I could say. Or access to the Internet.
52:50
It's true because it's not niche.
52:52
We're not built around a particular just like inside
52:55
joke, you know, or interest or or whatever it is.
52:57
We're we're built upon these fundamental values and longings
53:02
that humans have like deep within themselves, right, which
53:04
I want to repeat myself, but that is true.
53:07
It's what other kind of movement or product can you legitimately
53:12
say with a straight face if a human being likes goodness, then
53:17
this appeals to them, right? We we can say that with a
53:20
straight face. And, and, and human beings, I
53:22
think we all like community. We all like to belong to a
53:27
group, a group where we, where we, where we have a shared
53:31
vision and a shared set of ideals.
53:34
So I don't know. I think the I think the future
53:36
looks bright. Ryan, it's been an hour.
53:40
Anything else? I can't believe it's been an
53:42
hour. We've got 3000 people who are
53:44
joining us right now, 3000. Right.
53:47
It's incredible. There's me and you, but there's
53:51
another person, right? Our viewer, a duster, a diamond
53:54
hoove, maybe a buttercup, somebody who hasn't bought, but
53:57
but you know, it's, that's community that's bringing, you
54:01
know, this is our way of, of, of helping and not not me and you
54:08
'cause it. Let's face it, if it was, if
54:09
there weren't, if there weren't these other people who are just
54:12
as important as me and you, we wouldn't be doing this right
54:15
now. So to each and every one of the
54:17
people out there all over the world, they're all over the
54:20
world. Thank you, you know, for being
54:22
here with us. Thanks for being part of this
54:24
community. Thanks for being part of this
54:27
unbelievable, I guess, journey that we're on.
54:31
Anything else? Anything I forgot to ask you
54:33
about? Anything you wanted to mention?
54:34
Well, I will say this, I, I got two things.
54:36
If you know, there's 3000 people that are showing up here, ask
54:40
yourself, everyone listening, when have you ever been a part
54:43
of something where, you know, the leader of it says, hey,
54:45
we're going to, we're going to talk, you know, this afternoon
54:48
and, and you know, 3000 people just show up, you know, and
54:50
they're, and they're on the edge of their seat.
54:51
They're they're into it. That just tells you you're part
54:53
of something. Really, really.
54:55
It's a live wire. But then the other thing I want
54:57
to say to to everyone, you know, watching is that this guy, Ron
55:03
is exactly who he appears to be. You know, I've had the
55:06
opportunity to talk with you offline and we're getting to
55:09
know each other and, you know, becoming friends.
55:11
And so I can say, you know, that you, you are who you are.
55:15
There's not a difference when we're talking on the phone, when
55:18
we're talking here. And again, you don't always find
55:23
that, you know, or, or no, I shouldn't say that.
55:26
When, how often do people have the opportunity to really know
55:31
that about the leader of something that they're a part of
55:34
or that they're invested in? I, I'm telling you everyone,
55:38
what you see and what you are believing to be true is, is
55:41
true. So I I think that's important.
55:44
Yeah, this is just me, right? And some people ask me, well,
55:48
how do you do all this? How do you do it all?
55:49
I'm like, well, it's pretty easy because I just have to be, you
55:52
know, myself and, and be and be what I am.
55:56
Yeah, I think that's, I appreciate that.
55:59
That's a huge compliment, Ryan, and and you've done a lot for
56:03
the community. I want to remind everyone, Ryan
56:05
on a very regular basis puts out short videos, three to five
56:09
minute videos, but always something very, very helpful,
56:13
right. A tip or a trick.
56:17
I guess I would say that helps us kind of navigate life because
56:21
just like you said, right, like I'm a real person.
56:23
I guess what guys, I have challenges, major challenges
56:27
like everybody else in life and it helps for me.
56:31
I get a lot out of your videos, you know, in navigating life
56:36
because, you know, life is, I mean, that's one thing that we
56:39
can say to everybody who's out there.
56:41
I mean everybody who's alive. I think sometimes we can compare
56:44
ourselves to other people and think, oh, they've got it made
56:47
the no, everybody's got major challenges and that's what we're
56:51
here for. That's part of the UFD community
56:54
as well, is to be here for each other.
56:56
And I think, you know, we'll look at how the community's been
57:00
there for me during some very challenging times, but I also
57:03
see it organically within the community.
57:06
I hear stories about other other people in the UFD community
57:10
helping other people within the UFD community.
57:13
Yeah, Hey, life is lifey. You know, it's really lifey.
57:17
And the only way any of us make it through is, is with each
57:20
other, right? We got each other.
57:23
So yeah, none of us, none of us have it all together.
57:26
We've all got the challenges. And so it's, you know, it's
57:30
better. We're all Better Together.
57:32
Yeah, life is lifey, no doubt about it.
57:34
Except for me. You know I'm perfect, right?
57:36
Yeah, Sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah.
57:38
So all right, Ryan, thank you. I'm going to see if maybe we can
57:41
do this once a month. I'd love to.
57:44
Yeah. You know what, I think that
57:46
would be a good idea because you share a perspective that I think
57:51
provides a great benefit to the community.
57:54
And I think that that, that, that I'm able to learn from you.
57:57
And when I'm learning, that gives the, the audience an
58:01
opportunity to learn as well. So thank you on behalf of
58:05
myself, on a, on behalf of, you know, that third person, which
58:09
happens to be 3000 people who are joining us right now, But
58:13
they all matter, right? Like I always say that like what
58:16
you know, you and I are important and no doubt about it,
58:19
but so is the viewer. The viewer is just as important
58:22
as we are. So on behalf of them, thank you
58:24
for everything. Thanks for, you know, being here
58:26
and sharing your information with us.
58:28
Yeah, now thank you for having me.
58:30
And yes, to every person watching, you really do matter
58:34
and you're a part of this community.
58:36
And so I'm happy you're here. And I would I challenge you to
58:40
really ask yourself, how can you contribute?
58:43
How can you contribute? There's something that there's
58:44
something you have a gift. I know you have a gift.
58:47
There's something you can offer. So ask yourself that and let's
58:50
keep you. And you know, and you know what,
58:51
Ryan, I want to point this out. There's a little bit of magic in
58:55
that too. When you, when I've learned,
58:57
that's been my experience. You know, if I'm sitting around
58:59
here, you know, every once in a while, I feel sorry for myself.
59:03
You know, if I'm sitting around, oh, whatever.
59:06
And you know, my, my contribution is this is live
59:11
streaming is, is kind of providing that stream for the
59:14
people. And there's a certain magic that
59:18
occurs, I've learned in life when, when I step outside myself
59:22
and do something, I guess, you know, I don't feel like I'm, I'm
59:25
not saying this in an egotistical way, but that this
59:26
is the way that I give right is by by giving these live streams.
59:31
And there's a certain magic that occurs whether it's doing this
59:34
or even if it's going out of my way to be nice to the person at
59:38
the McDonald's drive thru, which I always do.
59:40
I did it again today. I had to get my daughters, you
59:42
know, make them smile and they appreciate it.
59:45
There's something, there's a magic that happens for us humans
59:49
when we get out of ourselves a little bit and do something for
59:53
another person or for a community.
59:55
And when people are doing things for UFD, whether it's this
59:57
artwork or you can see this video.
1:00:00
I'm gonna have a special guest tomorrow morning, a young lady
1:00:03
who made a great video, She's in Saint Louis.
1:00:06
Whether it's any of that stuff to get out of ourselves that
1:00:09
helps us, you know, it, it, it really does.
1:00:12
There's a magic that happens when we when we contribute.
1:00:16
Instead of thinking about ourselves, you know, it's a,
1:00:20
it's a great thing. So thanks for pointing that out.
1:00:22
Yeah, it's the best medicine command.
1:00:24
Do something for somebody else. You'll feel better.
1:00:27
Yeah. All right, buddy, let's let's
1:00:30
sign up and let's hang around and talk for a few seconds, but
1:00:33
I'm going I'm going to end the stream.
1:00:35
Thank you everybody for being.
