**SPECIAL GUEST!** 🦄🦄 Joining Us LIVE from Canada - Elizabeth Grace · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD Meme Coin Investing & Global Economics

0:17
Today we continue our series of dusters around the world and we
0:21
get to do it with a very special person.
0:23
And we all woke up this morning to some great news for the UFD
0:28
community. We're joined today by Elizabeth
0:31
Grace. She's a key community member.
0:34
She's going to, I'm going to let her share initially the good
0:36
news that we got this morning and she's got a puppy with her.
0:39
We'll let her tell us. Tell us all about that.
0:42
And we're going to hear about her Uncle Kenny and some
0:45
questions he has about crypto. And like she always does, she's
0:51
got some optimism to share with us, right?
0:53
Four reasons why we can be optimistic about two, 2026.
0:56
I've talked too long. Elizabeth Grace, chief
0:59
anchorwoman for Unicorn Fart Dust, welcome back to the
1:02
basement. How are you?
1:04
I'm doing very well, Ron. Thank you for having me.
1:06
GMGM everybody. And yes, I am dog sitting for a
1:11
friend at the moment. This is Teddy, the Pomeranian
1:14
lap dog, and he will likely be here the whole time.
1:18
Just chill in here. But yeah, the exciting news that
1:21
kicked off the start to our January 7th is the Buy Bit
1:26
listing, which is a global cryptocurrency exchange.
1:31
I think this is the very first time we've ever been listed with
1:33
by BIT. And yeah, it's very exciting.
1:36
So I shared that on my Twitter and yeah, it's great news.
1:40
Yeah it looks like here should be on the screen by bit put out
1:44
a post big news dusters new listing on by bit alpha.
1:49
The magic dust is spreading farther than ever trade now on
1:54
by bit and they've got an affiliate program.
1:56
They must know that my favorite color is orange because they put
2:00
our new IP which again we're like one of only 15 meme coin
2:04
projects that has their IP secured in this image.
2:08
So very exciting. I want to read something if I
2:11
can, if it's OK with you, because this is actually
2:14
Elizabeth Grace's live stream this morning, but if it's OK
2:17
with her, I'd like to read a little blurb short paragraph I
2:20
got from the Unicorn Fart Desk public relations department.
2:24
Is that OK, Elizabeth? Yes, I will allow it.
2:26
And I didn't know your favorite color was orange.
2:28
That's surprising that you're not a bitcoiner with that being
2:31
your favorite color. It's the only color that's also
2:35
a taste, but we'll leave that discussion for another day.
2:38
Here's what we've got from the PR department.
2:41
We are excited to share that Unicorn Fart dust is now listed
2:45
on by Bit Alpha, giving users direct on chain access through
2:50
the by Bit platform without the need for external wallets.
2:54
This significantly lowers friction for new traders,
2:58
expands UF DS global reach, and increases potential liquidity
3:03
and discovery. It's a strong validation
3:06
milestone and an important foundation as we continue
3:10
scaling UFD's presence across major platforms.
3:15
What do you think of all that, Elizabeth Grace?
3:18
Super duper exciting. I've never used by bit, but I've
3:22
used Kraken. I know we're on there.
3:25
I've used other HTX, we're on Mexi Finance, Coinbase, but this
3:31
is adding another one to the list so we'll have to update the
3:34
website. That's exciting.
3:36
Yeah, exciting news. And like the PR department said,
3:40
here we go. It looks like Buybit.
3:42
Yeah, I mean the massive account, I just went out and
3:44
looked almost 600,000 followers on X.
3:48
Good news, right, and no expectation that this was going
3:53
to happen. And I think what it shows and
3:56
like we said all along, that if our community keeps doing the
3:59
work every single day, right, the what, what really matters,
4:03
right? Spreading the word about UFD,
4:05
building the project that just naturally and organically these
4:09
great things happen. And I'm of the opinion, just my
4:13
opinion after one year of in depth experience in crypto, that
4:17
as we move forward, UFD will become much more readily
4:22
accessible on more and more platforms because that's the way
4:26
technology works and is more and more as we're available on more
4:29
and more platforms. And more and more of the butter
4:32
cups move from being anti crypto, maybe like your Uncle
4:36
Kenny into the world of crypto that that it could spell really
4:40
good things for our project. Absolutely.
4:44
And I know you mentioned you've been in crypto for about a year
4:47
now, but it just dawned on me how it worked out that you were
4:50
here since 2024 and then 2025 and now 2026.
4:55
So it's three years stand across.
4:57
But you came in at kind of the perfect time.
4:59
I think even though we saw that massive explosion and now kind
5:04
of built, if you build it, they will come.
5:06
And this is just like a perfect example of that.
5:09
Yeah. No, you're, you're exactly
5:10
right. So I have been in crypto for
5:12
three years technically. But really but.
5:15
But but 13 months, maybe 14 months.
5:21
But I've learned a lot. And you know, you bring up a
5:23
real powerful point, right? Like it was strange when I first
5:27
got into crypto and created Unicorn fart dust as an
5:31
experiment that things were like glowing red hot in the world of
5:36
crypto. And it was right after, you
5:38
know, the trunk and a Trump inauguration, all this
5:41
excitement. But but the last last 7 to 8
5:44
months have been a very challenging environment.
5:46
And I actually think that is ideal for projects like ours
5:50
because it gives projects like ours the opportunity to prove
5:54
that we're here to stay and that we're a long term oriented
5:58
project. And it gave us an opportunity to
6:00
really forge and build a community that's second to none.
6:04
And that includes people like you, Elizabeth Green.
6:08
Well, that's what it's all about really.
6:10
Meme coins are about the relationships in the community.
6:14
And I think having a docs dev from the very beginning is was
6:17
very rare in the meme coin sector.
6:20
And even the term meme coin is strange to me because they're
6:24
not like a coin that you would go and buy a coffee with at the
6:28
Starbucks, right? It's not a currency in that
6:30
sense. It's more of a collectible.
6:32
But I'm going off on a whole other definition tangent.
6:36
But yeah, just the fact that you've been so reliable and our
6:39
community has been consistent and stable over the long term, I
6:43
think that's what's missing. And that it's such a new sector
6:46
and that we're proving to be one of the only coins that has that.
6:50
And we've had in real life meetups and we're going to have
6:53
another one in Las Vegas coming up in April.
6:56
And so it's just exciting to see the evolution of it, and I'm
6:59
excited to be a part of that. Yeah, and, and and it's a bit of
7:02
a step, right? It was for me even.
7:04
OK, and we're going to talk and I'm joking around about your
7:07
Uncle Kenny. I love your Uncle Kenny, even
7:09
though I've never met him. But you know, people out there
7:12
that was that were me. I was included in that segment
7:15
1416 months ago that didn't really understand understand
7:19
where the value was in a crypto or in particular the value in a
7:24
meme coin. But when you know when when
7:27
people wake up like I did and realize that there really is
7:31
value in a community, right? There's value in the Lions Club,
7:36
there's value in country clubs, there's value in all sorts of
7:40
things. The community really can create
7:42
value. Then you start to see kind of
7:45
what, what what meme coins are really about.
7:48
And I think it's a competitive advantage that we have at UFD
7:51
that we are a meme coin because because we aren't promising any
7:57
like great technological revolution, we aren't making any
8:00
massive like what we're promising is a community of
8:03
people that are focused on good, right and culture, right, Which
8:07
I I still go that that's a newer thing that that I've learned
8:10
just in the last two to three months.
8:11
And I heard David Golkstein talk about it, but I really believe
8:15
it ought to be true. Like the culture of memes, like
8:18
the UFD culture, our IP, the visual culture, like it's a
8:22
timeless thing almost right? And we're connected to the
8:25
Unicorn, thankfully not on purpose, but we are that that
8:29
we're kind of like like other like some people say, like Santa
8:32
Claus is kind of a meme. And Santa Claus has been around
8:35
for, you know, everybody has an image of what Santa Claus is and
8:38
what it stands for in that in that is UFD continues to build.
8:43
I'm not saying we're going to compete with Santa.
8:45
I don't want to be on his naughty list or anything like
8:47
that, but it's the same type and.
8:50
I love that that's entirely all part of the narrative and the
8:54
lore of the coin was the fact that you were this silver maxi
8:58
who was so skeptical of crypto in the 1st place, like my Uncle
9:02
Kenny. And I mean, just to see the
9:04
evolution of everything and the tokenization of that community,
9:08
I think that's where the future is going.
9:10
Like right now, we don't have country clubs or the Lions Club
9:13
or whatever clubs. Those aren't on chain.
9:16
But eventually I think many will be.
9:19
We are just kind of doing it first.
9:21
Duster Duster Club is on is that's us, right?
9:25
And sorry I interrupted you, but.
9:27
No. Worries, yeah, we are right.
9:28
That's what we are like we're like a web 3 version of let's
9:32
say something similar ish to the Kiwanis Club or the Lions Club
9:37
or something like that where people can come and and and
9:40
people pay dues to belong to those clubs, right?
9:43
And on top of that, we have this incredible gift of, of the
9:46
blockchain and crypto. It's really cool.
9:49
I mean, I, I won't go down this path.
9:51
Everyone's heard it so many times, but I believe that we are
9:53
on like the leading edge of like value revolution in the world,
10:00
value evolution in the world and improving that.
10:04
Yes, there's there's a a great value when people come together,
10:08
form emotional bonds and have kind of a common goal that
10:12
movements do absolutely matter. Yep, for sure.
10:18
So tell us about Uncle Kenny, right 'cause they're here.
10:21
Here's the thing, right? There's, there's millions and
10:25
billions of people in the world who aren't into crypto yet.
10:28
And I've had the experience. Sounds like you've had the
10:31
experience, right, with people who are skeptical, skeptical
10:34
about crypto. We're just, we're joking around
10:36
about Uncle Kenny again. Uncle Kenny, if you're watching.
10:39
Shout out Hey, Uncle Kenny. I know he's watching right now.
10:41
So I wanted to give a shout out to him and to my dad as well,
10:44
who's also watching, who are both very much silver and gold
10:49
boomer Maxis. But there are so many
10:51
similarities, I believe between the two sectors of crypto and
10:55
precious metals. So I think it's just the perfect
10:58
opportunity to combine them with Unicorn fart dust.
11:02
And he just has a lot of questions, I believe like so my
11:05
Uncle Kenny originally wanted to buy Bitcoin 10 years ago.
11:10
He just didn't have the technological know how really of
11:14
how to do it. And he's a retired teacher right
11:17
now. So he spends a lot of his time
11:19
in the stocks and investing and looking up different things to
11:22
invest in. And he is interested in UFD, but
11:26
he's just very skeptical and but curious at the same time.
11:29
So one of the questions that he had for us, which I'm just going
11:33
to throw at you freestyle right now, was.
11:36
OK, I'm going to run away if I don't want to answer it, but go
11:39
ahead. It's OK.
11:40
I have some answers for you if you don't.
11:42
But he's kind of wondering, like if if UFD makes a billion
11:48
dollars selling merchandise, do those profits get paid out as
11:53
dividends to token holders? So you can see he's from like
11:56
the Tradfi, Yeah. Yeah, sure.
11:59
No, that's, that's a great, a great, great question actually.
12:03
And you know the answer to that question I guess would be like
12:07
to be determined. You know, I have a really solid
12:11
understanding of the traditional Tranfi corporate structure.
12:14
I have a degree in accounting, so I know how all that works.
12:17
UFD we haven't made anything off selling not.
12:21
Yet we're working. We're working on the merchandise
12:24
right now, now that we have the IP, right?
12:26
Yeah, we have, we have the IP, yes.
12:29
And I don't know that I, I, I can with a high level of
12:34
confidence say that it wouldn't be like directly distributed to
12:38
token holders like a dividend is in a traditional stock, right
12:42
where they company announces. Because we're a collectible,
12:45
right? It's not a stock or a security.
12:47
Profits from the merch they go to building the project, right?
12:52
Right. I mean, a, a, a a good portion
12:55
of any and I think with like the merch initiatives that are under
12:59
way now, you know, we want that money to come back to the
13:02
community, back to the project to help support the project,
13:06
right? And that could be, you know, by
13:10
paying for help, help to cover the cost of things like IRL
13:14
meetups or for certain. I mean, there's a lot of costs
13:18
that go along with this, but a lot of people.
13:20
The last meet up, the amount of swag that we got and that was
13:23
just from the narwhals right? Don't hate.
13:26
Exactly. Exactly.
13:28
And there's other costs as well. I mean, you don't think of them
13:30
until you know. And what I want to say is
13:32
there's been a lot of people who've been donating not only
13:35
their time but also money toward the project.
13:38
So we went would want some of that to cover it.
13:41
Just as I'm brainstorming about this, another way that in the
13:45
Tranfi world that companies are able to pay almost like an
13:49
indirect benefit is by doing our indirect dividend, I'm sorry, is
13:53
by doing what's called a stock buyback.
13:55
So instead of distributing, they'll say we're going to buy
13:58
back, you know, $10 million. Well, we could do something
14:01
similar to that with UFD as well where we could say we're going
14:05
to burn. I think that's the term is burn
14:08
beans, you know, to reduce the overall number of UFD beans
14:13
because make sure Uncle Kenny knows, right, that there's only
14:18
where is it there it is only 999 million UFD beans, right?
14:22
And the people, the dusters that hold them right goes up and up.
14:26
But we can't, we can never make any more beans.
14:29
And if we can lower that line, we get to a point where there's
14:34
fewer and fewer of the tokens or beans, as we call them, that are
14:38
out on the market. So I hope that answers that
14:40
question. That's a good question, though.
14:42
And it's, and it's weird, you know, and, and, and, and trust
14:46
me, it's, you know, we're, we're working through all this stuff.
14:49
It's it's a different kind of business structure in crypto as
14:54
opposed to the Tranfi world for sure.
14:56
And it can get. Look, I'm not I'm.
14:58
Wild West, right? It's so.
15:01
It's it's, it's all evolving. There aren't real definitive
15:05
rules out there per SE. So it's very interesting and it
15:10
can get real confusing and, and I have a, like I said, like I'm
15:13
not saying I'm a financial wizard, but I did work for a
15:16
BIG4 accounting firm. I understand kind of accounting
15:20
and the business structure. And when you start mixing in
15:23
crypto with it, it gets, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a
15:26
puzzle that is I think evolving not just with us, but with the
15:30
whole crypto industry. So.
15:33
Exactly. And we are very much, it's new
15:35
because it's like that social finance, that attention economy.
15:39
So if our merch is doing well and if we're out there and
15:43
people are, you know, representing the token with UFD
15:47
T-shirts and we're going to in real life conferences, then
15:51
that's going to build up the tokens value.
15:53
And so you're basically we're working for our bags and they're
15:57
going to go up from that hype and from that.
16:01
And like you said, we'll see what happens with once we
16:04
actually make profits, putting that back into the token some in
16:07
some way. But can I go on to question #2
16:09
from OK. And this one I didn't really
16:12
even understand because I'm not a try five person, but maybe
16:15
you'll understand it. But he said, is every token
16:19
holder an equal partner in the business pro rated by how many
16:24
tokens they own? So if you have one bean or 100
16:28
million beans, like I don't really know what he's getting at
16:31
there, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:33
And I want to repeat. I think it's important to
16:35
realize that with UFD there's 999,999,001 less than a billion
16:43
beans that were created, coins as we call them, and there never
16:48
can any more be created. That's different from a trad FI
16:52
company. They can have shares of stock,
16:54
but they can issue more and more stock.
16:57
They have to go through a regulatory process.
16:59
Anyway, that's beside the point. So yes, I, as I understand this
17:04
question, yeah, the person that owns a million beans or
17:10
1,000,000 coins has a bigger, I guess, ownership interest in UFD
17:16
than the person who maybe has 1000.
17:19
But there isn't really, how do I say this?
17:21
There's no barrier on a couple levels to what the person with
17:26
1000 can do with the project as opposed to a person with a
17:29
million. If somebody has a million, it's
17:32
it's, it's like, and I guess to explain this to somebody who's
17:36
not in crypto is, I understand it like everybody is part of the
17:40
same community and there aren't any special.
17:45
I say this all the time, right? Like I don't get any, any
17:48
special treatment even because I'm the dev or the bit, you
17:52
know, the guy that created the project.
17:53
Like it's, it's that key component of crypto that I found
17:57
very interesting and, and, and very enlightening, I guess you
18:03
would say when I first started learning about crypto, that
18:05
these are, are democratized and decentralized communities,
18:11
meaning, I mean, it is like the purest form of equality that you
18:16
can get out there. I mean, in a, in a Tranfi
18:18
company. And maybe This is why he's
18:19
asking that question. If somebody owns, you know, 25%
18:24
or 15% of the of the company, they can exert just because of
18:29
the way the traditional finance corporate structure is set up
18:31
with board of directors and they can exert a lot of influence
18:36
over that company. Now, someone who owns a ton of
18:40
beans, right, is probably going to be more involved and more
18:42
interested in what's going on with UFD.
18:45
But at the end of the day, it really is just the community of
18:48
people and not even I, I mean, I think, and I say it all the
18:53
time, Uncle Kenny, like any everybody else out there that
18:56
owns UFD is as much the CEO of UFD as I am.
19:01
I don't get paid a salary. I'm not on a payroll with UFD,
19:06
so yeah, I hope. He is yet right, yeah.
19:09
Right, right. So hope that answers that
19:11
question. Yep, that answers that question.
19:15
We are a collectible. I feel like Uncle Kenny's really
19:18
grill grilling me. He's grilling you.
19:20
He really grills me, too. You should have been there by
19:22
Christmas. It was intense.
19:25
It's always intense with my what?
19:27
What? What what I would recommend and
19:30
not I keep, you know, I I I don't know your Uncle Kenny.
19:33
So but to anybody out there is to number one, what I was guilty
19:39
of before I get into crypto was contempt prior to investigation,
19:44
which means I didn't like crypto, but I didn't really know
19:47
anything about crypto. I just thought it was Unicorn
19:50
fart dust. It was nothing.
19:51
It was not, you know, whatever. And, and when I started to learn
19:56
a little bit about crypto in particular, kind of the, I think
20:00
for me, it was real important to understand the, the original
20:03
ethos, the original ideas behind crypto.
20:05
That's when like, I'm like, wow, this is actually pretty darn
20:09
cool. There's a reason why people are
20:12
talking about it and, and people are are are you know, getting
20:16
interested in crypto. For sure.
20:18
And so much of it happens online too, which if you're not in it
20:23
and experiencing it that you know, it can kind of be lost on
20:27
you as to how is that valuable. But then so much can happen in
20:30
person as well from those online relationships.
20:33
So it really can expand into being more than just OK the echo
20:39
Chamber of crypto Twitter, right?
20:41
Right, right, right. Does uncle?
20:44
Did he have a third question? We'll leave it at that.
20:46
That's good enough. I think we're good.
20:49
OK. All right.
20:50
Well, you mentioned you had a couple of reasons why you,
20:53
Elizabeth Grace, are optimistic about crypto in 2026.
20:58
Would you like to share a few of those with us?
21:01
Yes. And I'm very optimistic
21:04
cautiously, like I don't really know where this year is going to
21:06
go, but I do see a lot of bullish things on the horizon
21:10
for 2026. And I think the first one is
21:14
just the fact that we haven't seen retail come back at the
21:18
race that we did in previous cycles.
21:20
So we do need to see that incentivization and Donald Trump
21:24
has hinted at better tax returns this year as well as a $2000
21:29
stimulus check for regular working Americans.
21:32
So that could potentially happened in Q2.
21:36
So I'm looking more at like 100 days from now into April because
21:40
things are going to take a lot of time.
21:42
We're kind of at that transitory period right now where I think a
21:44
lot of like the OG people, they are going by the four year
21:49
cycle. You know what it was they sold
21:52
in October and that's the four year cycle and that's it.
21:54
But then there's a lot of us who are looking at, OK, but we had a
21:57
lot of stuff happened last year with tariffs and drawdowns with
22:01
that. And then we had government
22:03
shutdown. So it's not like it's over.
22:06
It's possibly delayed. And so I'm looking towards kind
22:11
of that part as being optimistic as well as the fact that I guess
22:16
QT ended last year like a month ago and now quantitative easing
22:21
is starting. And then I guess reason #3 would
22:25
be the fact that I believe on January 15th, they are going to
22:30
be voting in Congress on the Clarity Act.
22:33
And so that could bring a lot of clarity to crypto regulation
22:36
going forward. And then #4 would just be I'm
22:41
bullish because it's a midterm election year, I believe in
22:44
November. I'm Canadian, so I'm just trying
22:47
to remember all the American politics that are going on that
22:51
might influence crypto. But historically, I believe
22:54
politicians like to pump up the economy to your votes, so people
22:59
vote for them. So I'm thinking that could
23:01
happen this year because it's happened every other time.
23:04
So I'm looking towards, I guess Q2 and going into the fall.
23:09
But again, like anything can happen, it's unpredictable.
23:12
Yep, Yep, Yep. That's definitely the case here
23:15
in the US that leading up to the midterm elections, there's this
23:19
coincidence that the government will send out stimulus checks to
23:23
people and other things to help juice the economy.
23:28
You know, I, I'm interested to see what type of regulation
23:32
comes out with this Clarity Act. I do think that that's another
23:37
component. And a lot of people don't agree
23:39
with me and that's OK. But I do think that if we, if we
23:43
do want the maximum amount of people to adopt and come into
23:47
crypto, that a certain level of regulation might be beneficial.
23:53
You know, there's a lot of great meme coin projects, no doubt
23:57
about it. There's a lot of scammy stuff
24:00
that also goes on in the meme coin sector, as you and I know.
24:03
And I don't want to focus on that, but I do.
24:06
I do think that that our project and the other good projects
24:10
deserve to be able to be in an environment where there's at
24:14
least a certain level of regulation and fairness.
24:19
Because, you know, I think that sometimes, you know, people just
24:23
say, oh, meme coins, they're scams, right?
24:26
Like they just throw out a blanket across the whole sector.
24:30
And we know that the store that the reality is very different,
24:34
right? We, we've got a project that
24:36
focuses on honesty, integrity, fairness, transparency, like
24:40
100% transparency. And there's other projects doing
24:44
the same. So and I'm optimistic and I've
24:47
had some great conversations with another one of our key
24:50
community members Connector on this subject that, you know,
24:55
it's kind of like in crypto you put up it's like the R word, you
24:58
talk about regulation. If you're like, Oh no, it's
25:01
evil, it's bad. Well, you know, I don't know, I
25:04
think that on a certain level, ensuring that there's a, a
25:08
certain degree of, of, of law and order wouldn't be too bad
25:13
for the overall crypto sector because we want more people to
25:16
come in. We want people to hear about
25:19
good experiences in crypto, not, you know, some of the bad stuff
25:22
that happens. Yeah, and I would tend to agree
25:26
with that. I think it's still up in the
25:28
air. We do have a pro crypto
25:29
president. So I'm optimistic that it will
25:32
pass, but I think it Polymarket has it at like 50 to 60% chance.
25:36
So kind of have to we'll see what happens with the Clarity
25:40
Act. And you know, there's, there's a
25:43
lot of talk right now with like the the entire Bitcoin being
25:47
taken over by institutions and different countries buying it
25:51
and Ecfs and kind of people there's they're kind of fleeing
25:55
and some people are going to more of these privacy coins and
25:59
tokens. So I think there will always be
26:01
kind of that divide between people who want regulation and
26:04
people who just want that the original site, cyber funk punk,
26:09
I guess of like the ethos of, you know, we want our privacy.
26:13
We don't want to be controlled by the government and then
26:16
having institutions take over. So I think it's kind of
26:20
complicated that way, but there can hopefully find a balance.
26:24
No, I would agree with you 100%. I mean, I'm not a Bitcoin guru.
26:28
I know the basics of Bitcoin, which I love, right.
26:31
But it as I as I watched it over the last whatever 1214 years,
26:38
you know, yeah, I obviously big institutions got involved and,
26:44
and, and I think that originally that was, you know, eight years
26:48
ago, I would imagine a lot of Bitcoin people were anti
26:51
institution, But when the institution's got involved, I
26:56
think maybe that did help the Bitcoin price a little bit as
26:59
well. So it's kind of, you know, it's,
27:02
it's complicated like you said. But what I can say about our
27:06
project right now, baby Bitcoin, as I like to refer to us as, I
27:10
think that we not to compare us to Bitcoin or any other big
27:15
crypto out there, but I think that we do adhere to that was
27:19
like original ethos, those original concepts that made
27:23
Bitcoin so popular and made it so successful.
27:28
And you know, because of that, I remain very optimistic.
27:32
Yeah, and I had, I thought of something just this morning
27:35
about how Bitcoin was, you know, it the original cryptocurrency,
27:41
it started off this entire ecosystem and how it the
27:46
original one has a dev that is a mystery.
27:50
Satoshi Nakamoto is not doxxed like basement run.
27:54
So it's the only one that can really have that.
27:58
I feel like going forward, people do want that transparency
28:00
of like, OK, Bitcoin, we don't know who the founder is, but in
28:04
terms of like meme coins, when you don't know who the founder
28:07
is and there's, you know, millions of meme coins and 10 to
28:11
20,000 made every single day. And then those just kind of have
28:15
all these rug pulls and stuff. Like we do want that more
28:17
transparency going forward. Like it's different than the
28:22
original that came out 1516 years ago.
28:24
Bitcoin. We were baby Bitcoin but we have
28:27
transparency and a docs dev. Well, you know, and, and, and
28:32
I'm joking when I say this, maybe instead of baby Bitcoin,
28:35
we can now start calling you at the better Bitcoin.
28:37
And I'm just joking. I want to offend any of the
28:39
Bitcoin people out there. There's a wonderful community.
28:43
And, and, and I always say this like I'm grateful for Bitcoin
28:46
'cause they like blaze the trail.
28:50
It blaze the trail in the OG, the OG of the OGS for, for
28:55
crypto. And you know, I know from going
28:57
to the Bitcoin conference or some really cool people and, and
29:01
you know, I'll always be grateful for what Bitcoin has
29:04
done and, and continues to do as well.
29:07
Maybe we'll just call UFD the Santa Claus of meme coins
29:10
instead, right? Tis the season?
29:14
Why not? Yeah, tis the tis the season.
29:17
Let me I want to show everybody. This is Elizabeth Grace, right?
29:21
She's a popular personality on the world of X and crypto and
29:26
meme coins and a very important person who contributes to the
29:32
Unicorn fart dust community. We, I call her our chief
29:35
anchorwoman, but I want to go out and make sure everybody
29:38
knows where they can follow you. Hold on here.
29:42
Hold on here. I think I'm not sharing my
29:46
screen, am I? Yes, I am.
29:48
OK, No. Wrong one.
29:50
Sorry. That's Georgie.
29:51
We'll go there next. There.
29:52
You are get up to Georgie. We have Georgie.
29:56
And here is Elizabeth Grace who goes by at Revolution Crip CRYP.
30:03
Here's her ex profile where you can go follow her.
30:07
Tell us about your journey over the last year.
30:09
You've been doing a lot in crypto.
30:11
What what's been going on with you and and what's the latest in
30:16
terms of what you're seeing out there?
30:19
Yeah, so 2025 was honestly one of the best, most exciting years
30:26
of my life. I totally took an entire
30:29
different shift in my career, having been a consulting
30:34
wildlife biologist prior to getting into blockchain and AI
30:39
and content creation. So last year really took me on a
30:43
whirlwind. I travelled more than I ever did
30:46
in my entire life. I made about 75 videos for
30:51
Unicorn Fart Dust, just like little some Shorts with you
30:55
going to Six Flags, going to the Brews Blues Festival,
31:00
interviewing different people on the streets and different news
31:03
updates. I'm really just getting it more
31:05
into what, you know, where do I want to go with this whole
31:10
thing? So I'm learning as I go.
31:13
And I went to Miami last year, Las Vegas, like Smoky Mountains.
31:18
I've been travelling a lot out West and now I'm just trying to
31:23
figure out what I want for 2026 going forward.
31:26
And honestly, like this is I'm going to get a little bit
31:29
emotional and personal. Like I spent the last 20 years
31:32
of my life being like very much I'm successful.
31:36
I'm a boss babe, I'm working and I really just want to start a
31:39
family and, and get married. And that's my goal going
31:43
forward. But you know, crypto's a great
31:45
way to have different side hustles where you can work
31:48
remotely. And so I'm just a crypto nomad
31:50
right now. Like as you can see, I'm in a
31:52
house that is a friend of mine and I'm, there's two dogs and
31:56
two cats. I, I'm here dog sitting and I'm
31:59
just going around with my car and my suitcase and trying to
32:04
see what opportunities are out there.
32:05
And I'm very free right now, which is a freedom that I've
32:08
never felt before. Because, you know, I used to
32:11
work going to my 9:00 to 5:00 and a lot of the time it would
32:14
be long hours and we'd be commuting and going traveling
32:17
for work. And I'm all about that.
32:19
But I'm also very much like, OK, what is the meaning of life,
32:22
right? So I'm getting a little bit
32:24
existential with all of that, but it's come to a place where
32:28
it's like, you know what, I want to just make a family and settle
32:31
down and we'll see what happens. But I'm looking forward to 2026
32:36
and where this can go. But I love crypto, don't get me
32:39
wrong. And I still want to make content
32:41
for UFD. But I'm very, I'm very, I have
32:45
the opportunity right now to be flexible and I have that
32:48
freedom. So it's just going to be
32:50
whatever and that's OK. It's going to be whatever I feel
32:54
like. Like yesterday I wanted to make
32:56
a snow Unicorn. So I went down to the lake and I
33:01
was OK because for the contest, I think it's Georgie is putting
33:05
on the duster contest right now. Yeah, let's pull that up.
33:08
Go ahead, keep talking And. I'll put it because Ollie made
33:12
this beautiful woodwork Unicorn of Dusty out of laser and
33:17
painted it and we have Charlie who's making these claymation
33:21
type designs. And I was like, well, what do I
33:23
have right now in Canada? I have snow, but the worst like
33:27
as I came up with this idea, we got a bunch of rain and then I
33:31
went down there and there was no snow left really.
33:33
So I'm kind of like I got, I got to figure out how to make this
33:37
snow Unicorn, but we'll see. I I do hope to enter the
33:40
contest. I'm just hoping for some snow.
33:42
So I'm just being really random with just like what creative,
33:45
creative things pop in. Do I want to make a video about
33:49
this or that? Or do I want to do a broadcast
33:51
about the news this week? Or I'm like, oh, maybe the
33:54
crypto news isn't that exciting right now.
33:55
I want to do something, so I'm really just kind of freestyling
33:59
right now. Yeah, well, that's awesome from
34:01
a guy who's stuck in his basement seven days a week, 365
34:05
days a year. Sounds like fun.
34:07
I think I want to be a crypto nomad for a couple.
34:10
I know a lot of people are jealous and they look at my
34:13
lifestyle right now and they're like, Oh well, that's what you
34:15
should be doing at your age. You know, you should be just
34:17
doing whatever travelling and now's the time right before you
34:22
have. That's like more structured
34:24
routine. Yeah, wait till you have a
34:26
couple kids running around the house, you'll say I think I want
34:29
to be a crypto nomad again. I'm sure you'll miss it, but
34:32
yeah, it's like a having different chapters and I like
34:35
that challenge. So I'm looking forward to
34:38
someday having kids. Yep, Yep.
34:40
No. When I was younger I travelled
34:41
all around the world and you know, I'm very happy with Susie
34:45
locking me in the basement now. And you actually travelled a lot
34:48
last year too, like being in the crypto space.
34:50
They flew you up to France and. Yeah.
34:53
Oh, yeah. I went to Paris, France.
34:54
I love Paris. I was like, I I didn't.
34:57
I was, how do I say it? It exceeded my expectations.
35:00
It was very cool. Speaking of Paris, France here,
35:04
here's Georgie, a key community member.
35:07
And this is the dust, the dusters contest that Elizabeth
35:10
Grace, excuse me, was referring to.
35:13
You can go to Georgie's ex profile to check that out.
35:17
And when I was in France, hold on here.
35:20
If I can get this back up right, You talked about the claymation.
35:23
I want to be very careful with this.
35:26
I love everything everybody sends me, but Charlie makes
35:29
memes, gave me this when we were in Paris.
35:32
And I don't know, something about this is just very special.
35:36
Everything's very special. But I really love this.
35:38
Like she and she made it by hand and it's just.
35:41
It's the coolest thing ever. So I love that.
35:44
That's. Yeah.
35:44
Hey, I wanna Before I before I forget one of the most important
35:48
parts. I'm here, We're here.
35:50
I'm in the basement. Thanks to awesome, generous
35:54
support from our sponsors Ledger right, the crypto security
35:58
leader, their signer devices, the Ledger Flex, the new Ledger
36:02
Nanogen 5, the Ledger wallet app is really redefining the future
36:07
of digital asset ownership. You can buy, sell, stake, swap
36:11
to almost everything in the safe, secure, proven Ledger
36:15
environment and of course, Moon Pay.
36:17
So the Moon pays the fintech leader.
36:19
They were my entry door into crypto.
36:22
I'm not sitting here without my very first crypto transaction,
36:25
which was with Moon Pay, and I've done many more since then.
36:29
Since then, Moon Pay has over 35,000,000 customer accounts and
36:33
they're bringing new people into crypto.
36:35
But at the same time, they're growing, innovating.
36:38
They really are fintech leader. Thank you to Moon Pay and the
36:41
Ledger. Elizabeth Grace, Did I forget
36:44
anything? Nope.
36:46
But I really like them both. They're really interactive.
36:49
I find if you post on X, they'll reply to you and actually won a
36:54
contest through Moon Pay and Ledger.
36:57
So that was exciting. Yeah, but I'll have to I want to
37:02
eventually show the the Nano X that I won.
37:05
But yeah, we'll get to that. I'll make a video about that
37:07
later. Oh, the Gen., the nano Gen. 5,
37:10
the new one. Yes, the new one, yeah.
37:12
Yeah, you know, it was, I'll tell you this, when I was at
37:15
Ledger's headquarters in Paris. And they're like in the old part
37:19
of Paris, like old but very nice part of Paris, incredible
37:22
building. But the people are Ledger are
37:26
like just super high quality. Reminds me of the people like we
37:29
have in our UFD community. But when they were launching
37:33
that new Nano Gen. 5, the they've got like these little
37:37
icons you can add like on the screen.
37:39
And those icons were, were designed by the same woman who
37:44
designed the original icons for like Apple, for like the, I
37:48
guess, like the Macintosh or whatever.
37:50
And she was there. And so it's pretty cool.
37:53
Yeah. It's a it's a, it's a cool
37:54
company and very, very nice people.
37:58
Is there anything else you'd like to share with the
38:00
community? Anything I forgot to ask you
38:02
about? Anything I forgot in general?
38:04
Any questions you have for me? All right.
38:08
Well, I mean, we could just talk about how the the past couple
38:13
years, 2024-2025, I know you just got into crypto and the
38:18
tail end there. But I think we've learned a lot
38:21
of lessons over the past year, especially in patience and
38:26
perseverance and grits. And so I guess one question that
38:31
I had for you, Ron, was what were some of the lessons that
38:34
you learned being in crypto for a year now and how do you just
38:38
stay happy? How do you stay happy in life,
38:41
whether it's and nothing to do with crypto because I know you
38:43
have so much going on. But yeah, just some tips for how
38:48
to stay happy other than the three second smile.
40:25
None. Oh my.
41:13
Gosh, I can't hear. I can't hear anything.
41:18
Yeah, I lost audio that entire show.
41:22
Now I. Yeah, because how long was I
41:25
speaking to nobody? Your entire spiel I missed, but
41:28
I was just trying to listen like I was trying to read your lips.
41:33
Now I can hear you. I wonder how that button got
41:36
pushed that happened. You want to push the button just
41:38
now. That was why you pushed a
41:40
button. Yeah, no, it's the the mute
41:42
button was on. I sincerely apologized everyone
41:45
in our listening audience. Nobody could hear.
41:47
No, nobody could hear. Oh, shoot, Because I was just
41:50
like pretending to hear because I was like, oh, I thought maybe
41:53
I so you had a whole spiel. About how to be happy.
41:57
Keep happy. And I was just like I was too.
41:59
I didn't want to interrupt you. Let me let.
42:01
Me give a brief synopsis. For those of you.
42:07
Man, a brief synopsis is I'm not happy all the time, OK?
42:11
Please don't think that I think people.
42:14
I've been on some long drives with you to different places, me
42:16
and you. We've had our conversations.
42:18
You know, nobody's always easy. Nobody got and I got news for
42:22
you folks. Nobody's happy.
42:23
Nobody is happy all the time. Anybody says I'm happy all the
42:27
time. You know, everybody goes through
42:29
their ups and downs. What I've learned is some
42:31
discipline, right? And life will get you a long,
42:35
long way, whether that's, and I shared this earlier in the
42:40
morning, I wake up in a bad mood.
42:42
Sorry, that's the reality of my situation.
42:45
One of the first things I do when I'm in the bathroom is I do
42:47
give myself a three second or at least a 2 second smile when I
42:52
look in the mirror and and having some structure, having
42:55
some discipline. I think in the like, what I want
43:00
is long, long term happiness and by by doing little things every
43:05
day. Like when we're done here, I'm
43:07
gonna go take a 10 minute walk around the block, right?
43:10
I don't really feel like doing it, but I know it'll be good for
43:12
me to do. There, it's always good when it
43:15
is cold or whatever and connecting all right there right
43:18
now so. And, and and connecting with
43:20
people is critical, right? I mean, I don't think anybody
43:25
has ever really truly become happy just absorbing into
43:29
themselves. And I think humans can maybe
43:32
tend to be that way. At least I can, you know, I
43:36
found and then I won't go too deep, too far down the rabbit
43:39
hole. But in my 55 years, one thing I
43:42
found is the more I focus on trying to make myself happy,
43:46
generally the less happy I become, the more I focus on
43:49
doing things and maybe trying to focus on some other people to a
43:53
certain degree. That's where I find, you know,
43:57
happiness and interacting with my neighbors, interacting with
44:00
people in our community, whatever the case may be.
44:04
Yeah, that's very true, sort of that servitude and selflessness
44:07
and it gives you purpose to help others and can really just get
44:12
you out of your own overthinking or anxiety, right?
44:15
Yeah, yeah, go do it. Go do it.
44:18
And if you're and let me, this is powerful, Elizabeth.
44:21
So you might want to drop that dog and write this down.
44:25
But if you're trying to find happiness, I'm joking.
44:28
But if you're if you think about it, if you're trying to like
44:31
find happiness, aren't you pretty much admitting that
44:34
you're not happy where you are? I mean, I'm not saying that to
44:37
you. I'm just saying in general.
44:39
And I think sometimes we we get can I at least me guy can get
44:44
confused about what I mean. I don't know that it's
44:47
necessarily happiness, but I'm more interested in like in a
44:50
general sense of peace and well-being as opposed to being
44:55
like highs. I mean, the highs are going to
44:57
come in life, right? If you're playing blackjack at a
44:59
casino and you're winning, winning, winning, but you're not
45:01
going to you can't do that all the time.
45:03
You can't that perfect drunk buzz all the time.
45:06
You can't, you know, chase constantly Chase.
45:09
I think what I learned anyway as I got older was I'm more
45:13
interested in long term happiness and general Peace of
45:16
Mind, and the more I try to search for something that's
45:19
going to make me happy, it's like a carrot, you know, that's
45:22
on a stick in front of you. You keep chasing it.
45:24
And I think that's a really good point that you made because a
45:26
lot of people come into this space kind of with that short
45:29
term I'm going to get rich quick kind of scheme.
45:32
And then they don't think about the long term of where they want
45:34
to be in five years from now. And how that's really how you
45:38
build like sustainability and wealth and happiness is I think
45:42
that long term outlook is better as, as well as just, I mean,
45:46
everyone talks about sleep, diet, exercise, those main three
45:49
things. And spirituality as well is
45:51
important to me. And so that's, yeah, just
45:54
keeping grounded in my faith and kind of having that bigger
45:59
overarching purpose as well and helping others.
46:01
And yeah, that's why I quit my job.
46:04
And here I am just kind of seeing where the opportunities
46:08
will take me. And I and I think that crypto
46:11
and I think you maybe touched on this a little bit earlier, you
46:14
asked me like what I learned being in crypto and, and I think
46:18
crypto in general and just my observation and especially meme
46:22
coins can make it very challenging.
46:26
It's not an environment that in many ways that encourages Peace
46:30
of Mind. It's not a real fertile ground
46:33
for Peace of Mind because there's so much short term
46:37
focus. And and again, I think that's,
46:40
you know, look, I'm happy being different.
46:42
I'm long term focused and I think our project is long term
46:45
focused. Yeah.
46:46
Do I love hype? Do I love when we get green
46:48
candles? Yeah, of course.
46:51
It's fun, it is fun. There's that certain dopamine
46:53
hit that comes with that. Yeah, but but you know what?
46:59
I'm more they're interested in really chasing is two or three
47:03
or five years out, a year out, six months out, whatever.
47:06
Six months is like an eternity in crypto.
47:08
So I think people in crypto, including myself, right, because
47:12
I kind of had to adjust to all this and, and kind of realize
47:17
what this environment. And I mean, that's why people
47:19
get so burnt out. I mean, you get high as a kite
47:23
one day and then the next day you're crashing and then you're
47:26
high as a kite for two days and then you're crashing for three
47:29
days. Nobody can, I mean, even young
47:31
people, I'm 55 years old, you know, I'm the boomer dev.
47:35
So yeah, the, I think the crypto environment can be.
47:39
And in particular, and I guess I can speak more from experience
47:42
about the meme coin environment, just, you know, it, it, it,
47:46
it's, it's, it's a little crazy. I do think that it's changing.
47:52
And I've had this conversation with several people that I
47:55
respect. And I, I predicted like 6 months
47:58
ago that I thought that the meme coin sector would change
48:01
significantly in the coming year to two years in that this
48:05
insanity that goes on would start to subside.
48:10
It's not going to go away all together, but that it would
48:13
start to subside. I think the best analogy that I
48:15
used is that, you know, about 3 months and I realized that the
48:19
meme coin sector, to me, it felt like, you know, back in
48:22
February, March of 2025, it felt like a Wild West town in the
48:29
1800s with a bunch of salons and bars and gambling halls and God
48:34
knows what else. It like 2 in the morning on a
48:37
Saturday night and people were shooting guns and craziness.
48:40
And, you know, I think that now we're moving more into, it's
48:44
6:00 in the morning on Sunday and the dust is starting to
48:47
settle. And I think that'll be good for
48:50
the overall meme coin sector. And let's be real, like these
48:53
the people that are in the meme coin sector that are gamblers,
48:56
they aren't going to be around because they're going to lose
48:58
all their money. And I mean, there's very few of
49:00
them that are going to make money.
49:02
Most of them are going to lose money trying to chase this,
49:05
chase that whatever. And the people that are going to
49:07
be left on Sunday morning are going to be the quality people
49:11
that want to be part or people that have realized that, hey,
49:14
this gambling doesn't work, that want to be part of real
49:17
communities. And I just want to make sure
49:19
that when that settles, the, the, the shining Unicorn horn is
49:23
still there, right, as an option for people that want
49:27
transparency, honesty, integrity, want to be part of
49:30
something good and want to connect with other good people.
49:32
And with that, I'm done. No, and I agree.
49:35
There's going to be a market I think for gambling always
49:38
weather at casinos, but it will come and go.
49:41
And there's going to be like prediction markets in crypto as
49:45
well that people can go and gamble on and meme coins will
49:48
have that aspect. But I think there's room for
49:52
good projects that have longevity as well.
49:54
And more, more people are going to, to look for communities like
49:59
ours that have that, that honesty and transparency.
50:04
So, yeah, I think that there's a little room for everything that
50:07
I, I have a little D Gen. side sometimes where I'm like, oh, I
50:10
want to get into this or that. But then I've been through the
50:13
wringer as well as so many other people have been rugged and all
50:16
of that. So you kind of have to learn,
50:17
you have to go on your own crypto journey really.
50:19
And I think that there's still only so many people who are in
50:23
it from retail that there's room for more people to come in and,
50:27
and go through that. But with regulation and
50:30
everything coming down, I think it's going to change.
50:33
Yeah, and I agree with you, right.
50:35
Like, I mean, I'm here in Saint Louis, we have there's casinos
50:37
everywhere. People love the gamble and
50:40
that's great. But we also, but but but we also
50:43
want to make sure that there's other options for people like
50:47
Unicorn fart dust. But even though people like the
50:50
gamble, right? And even though the odds are
50:53
stacked against them at the casino that's three miles from
50:56
my house right here, right? You go play blackjack, you play
50:59
craps, you play slot machines, whatever you're going to lose
51:02
because statistically the way the games are set up, but at
51:06
least they aren't they they how do I say this?
51:09
They aren't cheating. You know, they aren't the rules
51:12
are set up for them to win, but they aren't.
51:14
And I think that's the kind of the base level that we need to
51:18
have within the crypto world is that the cheaters right in the
51:22
scammers aren't allowed to cheat and scam the people, investors,
51:26
whatever, want to engage in riskier endeavors within crypto,
51:32
That's fine. But even they shouldn't be
51:35
subjected to an environment where they, you know, and again,
51:38
it's it's not, you know, it's not Everything Everywhere.
51:42
I'm not saying that, but that segment needs to be, I think
51:46
adjusted if that makes sense. Yeah.
51:50
And we're still early, so I think we're going to see that
51:52
happen. Yep, Yep.
51:54
Elizabeth Grace, thank you for being on the live stream with me
51:57
today. I want to mention to everyone,
51:59
we are doing dusters from around the world.
52:02
There's our current list and I'm going to check off Canada
52:07
because Elizabeth Grace is joining us from Canada.
52:10
Toronto right now. Toronto That's right.
52:15
Any parting words for the community before we say goodbye?
52:19
I just want us to keep on keeping on and showing up every
52:22
day. But, you know, it's good to take
52:24
breaks. And we've had a lot of dusters
52:26
over the past year and a bit that have come and gone.
52:30
But I feel like a lot of people see that we're here for the long
52:34
term and they're coming back after taking a break.
52:38
And we welcome you with open arms.
52:40
And I just want us to be there for each other.
52:44
So yeah, keep on keeping on. Once a duster, always a duster,
52:48
right? I mean, I mean, you know, we've
52:50
had some great people and people have different situations that
52:53
come up. Everyone's welcome in this
52:55
community. The people that maybe aren't
52:58
don't have good intentions get shown out very quickly, and
53:02
that's very few and far between. But yeah, once you're come on
53:07
back. Exactly.
53:10
You know, I I still say, right? I mean, we got some great people
53:13
and so many people watching our project.
53:15
I think the future looks very, very bright.
53:17
Elizabeth. Thank you.
53:18
OK. We'll look forward to having you
53:20
on here again. We appreciate you.
53:22
Everything you're doing. Don't forget, guys, if you want
53:25
to follow her on X, it's Revolution Crypt.
53:28
Is that correct? Elizabeth at Revolution Crypt.
53:31
That is correct. We're starting a revolution, I
53:34
guess. Correct.
53:35
All right. Thanks for joining us and we
53:37
will.
