Good attracts good. Everybody, welcome to the live
0:52
stream. Welcome to the basement.
0:54
The Unicorn fart dust movement is absolutely worldwide.
0:59
Yesterday we were in Sweden, the day before that we were all the
1:02
way in Australia. And today we have a very special
1:05
guest, a a favorite within the UFD community, somebody who's
1:09
doing great things for our project, but even more
1:13
importantly for than that, for this live stream, somebody that
1:16
I think has some great insights, observations about crypto in
1:21
general, the meme coin sector, and then of course, the Unicorn
1:24
fart Dust project as well. So it's my big honor to
1:27
introduce to you one of my favorites, our friend Connector
1:31
all the way from the country of Greece.
1:33
Connector. Welcome to Ron's basement,
1:35
welcome to Duster Club. Thank you so much for joining us
1:38
today. Hello, Ron.
1:40
Hello everybody and thank you for inviting me the basement
1:44
even from a distance. I guess I'm an old man
1:49
connector. It still blows my mind that I
1:51
can sit in a basement in Saint Louis and you can be in Greece
1:54
and we can be connected with other people, right?
1:57
The the really it's me and you, but the most important the 3rd,
2:01
4th, 5th and who knows how many people will join us all around
2:05
the world. So how are things in Greece
2:07
these days? Tell me.
2:08
Tell me. How I will tell you a secret.
2:11
I was listening to music from tapes and I use a pen to rewind
2:16
the tape. So we're not that far.
2:19
You're older than me, but we're not that far.
2:22
So yeah, it's also for me strange how technology evolves
2:26
so fast and we actually can do this right now.
2:29
Yeah, it's, it's Grab. We had some neighbors over last
2:32
night and they're dusters, by the way, good friends of ours.
2:35
They own UFD and, and, and we were talking about the kind of
2:39
the difference I was trying, I was trying my best to explain to
2:41
them the difference between Web 2, right, which is YouTube and
2:45
they're about my age and they're into YouTube.
2:48
And but the difference between Web 2 and Web 3 and how as I
2:53
understand it, one of the big differences is that in Web
2:55
three, we developed these really like deep relationships, like
3:00
it's more relationship movement oriented and it's really cool,
3:04
right? And I think with our project,
3:06
like we are really on the kind of the leading edge of what's
3:10
going on right now in the world. Yes, if you stop considering
3:16
your money as a gambling money and just focusing on find the
3:21
right projects and the right communities and you consider
3:24
your money as a long term invest.
3:26
Invest, Yeah, investor investing, Yeah, investment
3:31
actually, Yeah, sorry, I found the the word it's actually
3:35
things is this is the key point that things are showing and they
3:40
are actually different. If you are a gambler, you, you
3:43
cannot be attached to any project, to any people, to, to
3:46
any person, to anything. And you don't care about the
3:50
technology, you don't care about the films communities, you only
3:53
care about yourself and how you can make your bag bigger, even
3:57
if it's in a short term, because in the long term economies
4:00
everything. So I think that it, everything
4:04
starts from how you are facing, how you treat your money and
4:10
your time, because money comes and goes.
4:13
But time? No.
4:15
If you miss the time, the time you have a problem, time doesn't
4:21
come back. Yeah, and, and you, and you
4:24
brought up a a big point, you know, like obviously there's
4:27
gambling tokens and, and I want to talk to you and get your
4:30
perspective on how the meme coin sector is changing, you know,
4:34
but if people are gambling, you know, I've been guilty of it,
4:37
right? I mean, I've been trading stocks
4:39
and I've traded options before over the years.
4:42
You spend so much time focused on charts, so much time focused
4:47
on just trying to make a quick buck.
4:50
And the reality is most of the time, most people who are active
4:53
traders, the vast majority wind up losing money.
4:56
So you'll wind up losing money and you go through that
4:59
horrible. I've been through it.
5:01
I think a lot of people have been through it, that horrible
5:03
feeling of, of having lost money, whereas like you talked
5:07
about and, and I think, I think that's one of the ways that the
5:10
meme coin sector is evolving here, you know, has begun to
5:14
evolve, but I think will continue to evolve that the
5:17
gamblers, they're not, they're not going to completely go away,
5:21
obviously, but I think there's going to be a bit of a shift
5:24
towards people looking for quality assets where they can
5:28
get involved in communities where they can have a real
5:31
impact on, on, on the success. Like, like, you know, you could
5:34
spend all day staring at charts trying to make a quick dollar,
5:38
or you could actually stay in stay, you know, involved in the
5:42
crypto and spend some of that energy on helping build the
5:46
project and have, you know, a real impact on the success of of
5:50
whatever project you decide to get involved in.
5:53
Yeah, I think that things are actually like in real life.
5:57
If you haven't experienced, experienced bad situation, bad
6:00
relationships, bad, Yeah, you cannot.
6:06
You cannot. What's the word?
6:10
Appreciate. Appreciate, yeah.
6:12
You cannot appreciate when the good comes to your life and when
6:15
you this good comes to your life and you have experienced all the
6:18
bad on the bad situation, you have to hold this good thing.
6:22
This is exactly what's happening with the web three.
6:25
Everybody started because the people there were promising fast
6:29
and many XS. But at the end of the day, 99%
6:35
were had to lose for 1% to win and usually this 1% was a very
6:39
lucky person or 99% an insider. So if you're in the crypto
6:47
sector, eventually you will find out that the only way to make
6:51
money and to have fun during this money making situation is
6:58
to meet good people that have the same mentality and good
7:04
communities. And that's about about mint
7:06
coins. When you're looking for a
7:08
utility project, you just have to find a utility project that
7:11
you believe and you have to face it and treat it like a long time
7:17
investment. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
7:20
And I like the the, you know, it's my opinion only, but you
7:23
know, UFDI think. Well, let's back up.
7:27
I think we know I've learned a lot over the last year about
7:29
crypto. And one of the things I learned
7:32
was that, yeah, 99% of the projects, I mean, there's what,
7:35
30 million cryptos now? And 99% of the projects, most
7:40
all of them didn't ever deliver. I mean, they all came out with a
7:45
promise, right? Connector.
7:46
I mean, every single one of those 30 million to 1° or
7:49
another came out with some type of promise.
7:52
Some of the big projects, the big utility projects that were
7:55
backed by millions and millions of dollars from venture capital
7:58
came out with these huge, huge promises of how they're going to
8:01
change the world and all this utility they're going to
8:04
provide. And, and I heard somebody say it
8:07
like they didn't, they never really delivered on the utility.
8:10
Some of them did. No doubt there's some great
8:12
ones, but most of them never delivered on the utility and on
8:16
top of that, they never had a community.
8:18
And I think that's I, I still, I really think that's one of our
8:22
massive strengths that we have with UFD is that, you know, we
8:28
never promised anything huge, right?
8:30
And, and that essentially our community, this grassroots, one
8:34
hundred, 100% pure grassroots organic community really is our
8:39
utility, right? I mean, the value you provide
8:42
with Instagram, the value that that countless other people
8:46
provide by things they take on like our community really does,
8:51
that is our utility. And as the community he grows,
8:54
in theory, who knows what utility, quote UN quote, could
8:58
be created. Am I on track when I think that
9:00
way in your opinion? In my opinion is that the many
9:04
utility projects they didn't aim to do bad or to not, not to not
9:11
deliver what they promised. But the the speed in the web 3
9:14
is so fast that the every project that they're having a
9:19
vision to create something. Sometimes another project comes
9:22
out few months later, one or one year later and they have better
9:26
developers. They're doing the same things
9:27
that the others promise faster. And on top of that, they promise
9:31
another extra utility that makes the investors jumping from the
9:35
old coin that didn't have the time to deliver or they didn't
9:38
make it so far jump to the new one.
9:41
So actually it's like many half broken factories that no one
9:45
made it to, to work and to deliver what they aim to what
9:50
they should be delivering. So a new factory next to the old
9:53
half broken factory, it's been constructed.
9:56
People are going investing the money there, but the, the, the,
10:00
the final product never comes out.
10:03
And we have a full of industrial area full of half built
10:08
factories. So that's how I see utility
10:11
projects. And, and you know, it's like
10:14
Coca-Cola and Pepsi, they are the 1st that they made this
10:19
industry blossom. So even if new companies are
10:25
trying to get some portion of the pie, they these two giants,
10:30
they have the money, they have the infrastructure, they have
10:33
the the people to eliminate the competition and always be on
10:38
top. So the same is happening with
10:41
meme sectors. And if you have a very good meme
10:44
with dogs dev like yourself, and eventually people understand
10:48
that they have a place that a legit project that they can
10:52
belong. They can have a nice time.
10:55
They do good things like we did with the with the cancer thing,
11:00
with live like a Unicorn, like the donation or the things that
11:04
we did in Africa that will help some Africans, help some other
11:10
children. This makes people stick, stick
11:13
around because you cannot do it by yourself, but through a
11:16
community. You, you get the results that
11:20
you want for the world. You create a better world.
11:22
And that's only when you treat your investment, your money as
11:27
an investment, not as a gambling.
11:29
You cannot do good things just to show off you want to good
11:34
things to do good things. And to have a meme like a club,
11:43
a special club that people want to.
11:45
In real life, they pay thousands of of dollars or euros to belong
11:50
in a special club. And here you can have it just by
11:54
having some UFD tokens. If you are active member, no.
11:58
Active member of the community. Nobody asks you how many tokens
12:01
you have. Maybe you don't have tokens, but
12:03
you just like the community. Again, you are free to to mingle
12:06
and help or donate when the project do something.
12:10
Well, the possibilities are endless.
12:13
So you only have to find the project that you believe.
12:16
And actually it proves itself every day like we have been
12:19
doing the last year. I haven't seen anything like
12:22
this my whole life in the crypto space.
12:26
It's it's amazing what we are creating.
12:29
Yeah, and it's wild because like we said at the beginning, you're
12:32
in Greece, I'm in Saint Louis. Yesterday I was in Sweden, the
12:38
day before that in Australia tomorrow I'm going to have some.
12:40
I'm trying to do a UFD around the World Series for a week or
12:44
so where I go and talk. I mean, it's not just that that
12:48
that what we're doing is cool, but it's also available to
12:51
pretty much everybody in the entire world, right?
12:55
I mean, most everybody. Now, I read something the other
12:57
day Connector that said there's more cell phone subscriptions, I
13:01
think was the way they described it.
13:03
Then there are people on the face of the earth.
13:05
And so like everybody has access and fair equal access.
13:09
And you brought up something very important, right?
13:11
It's like like you don't have any more special access to UFD
13:16
than I have or and I don't have any more special access than you
13:20
have. And that's true for everybody
13:21
means somebody owns 10 UFD beans, which is around a dollar
13:26
right now. They have the exact same access
13:28
to it is anybody else. And it's like we really are.
13:33
I get excited when I talk about it and I probably talk about
13:35
this too much, but it's like we really are doing something
13:39
almost revolutionary to a certain degree.
13:42
Like we are right on the leading edge of of I guess, you know,
13:46
evolution of, of, of how value is created, how communities are
13:51
created, right? Because like you said, people
13:54
want to belong, Pete, when I first got into crypto one year
13:59
ago, right now, about exactly 1 year ago right now, as I was
14:03
trying to figure out like, what's the value in this?
14:05
What's the value in this? And then it dawned on me, right?
14:08
Like, wow, yeah, people will pay big money to belong to clubs,
14:12
country clubs. The Lions Club is a big thing
14:15
here in the United States. There's a whole slew because
14:18
people want to be part of something where there's a, a
14:21
movement, a shared belief and emotional connection in that, in
14:26
that they can make a real difference.
14:27
And man, it's just, it's crazy with the technology, right?
14:32
Cuz really, I mean, it really I think of is a big gift right
14:36
now, this time period that we're living through this technology
14:39
that allows us to do it. And I think like, I forget, you
14:42
know, day-to-day, sometimes I forget what a special
14:45
opportunity it is that we have, right?
14:47
You know, right, right in front of us right now, we're doing it
14:50
Connector. Exactly.
14:52
But it's not very, it's not as easy as people believe it is to
14:57
create something like this, because it takes a lot of effort
15:01
and a lot of work to do what we what we have been doing.
15:04
And this has happened just because of Euron.
15:08
It's very rare to find someone with such a conviction like
15:11
yourself. You are an inspiration for all
15:14
of us. I have to tell you this, I
15:17
haven't seen anyone doing what you're doing.
15:20
Even if you have your regular job, you will miss a day.
15:24
You will have a fight with your wife, you will feel you have a
15:27
headache, you will miss the train.
15:29
You won't go, you won't show up one day.
15:32
You are doing it every day. This is unimaginable.
15:35
This is huge conviction and when you have a leader like you,
15:40
people are willing to follow and they can thrive all together
15:44
because it's a chain. When the the the first piece of
15:49
the chain is so strong, the chain will always hold no matter
15:53
who will try to break the chain. And to you, my friend, you are
15:57
the the strongest piece of the chain.
16:00
That I appreciate you saying that.
16:02
That's very a great compliment and it touched me to hear that.
16:07
But you know, what's interesting is you say that like I look at
16:10
other people in the community, like you working on Instagram.
16:13
I mean, I could go through the whole list, you know, as well as
16:16
I do the whole slew of fellow UFD community members and I look
16:21
at them and I think, wow, there, you know, Georgie sometimes is
16:24
working. I mean, there's a whole bunch of
16:26
people, so I don't want to go start naming names.
16:28
So I'll leave a lot of people out.
16:30
But I, it's funny because as you said, that that's kind of how I
16:34
feel about like, like a lot of the people in the community.
16:38
So I think maybe what that tells us is like we really are all
16:43
doing. This I will tell you, I will
16:44
tell you something that you don't know because you're only
16:46
one here in crypto space. I've been in crypto space longer
16:49
and, and I've worked for other teams and what I'm doing in the
16:54
UFD, it's for, for myself, for the community, for you, for you
16:58
know, we've never, no one is getting paid here, but you
17:01
inspire people to do, to give their best because you're doing
17:04
your best. So in other projects that I've
17:08
been in the past and I know the teams, the quality of people
17:12
were not so good. Some of them they were, but not
17:15
the majority. The team that has gathered here
17:19
in UFD, they're one better or the other in knowledge, in
17:24
experience, in goodness. I mean, I haven't seen such a
17:30
gathering of good people and clever and people that they have
17:34
studied and they have expertise on different sectors.
17:38
So that gives me the certainty, certainty that this project,
17:41
project will succeed no matter what, no faster or later.
17:46
It's destined, it's coded, it will succeed.
17:50
I know it. You know, I agree with you 100%
17:55
connector, like I've met a lot of the people in person.
17:58
I've I've talked to a lot of people.
18:00
I mean, you and I, I feel like you're a friend, right?
18:02
I feel like if you came to Saint Louis, I went to Greece that,
18:06
you know, we would feel 100% comfortable with each other.
18:10
And I do, you know, again, I've not been in crypto as long as
18:14
you have, but I've been around for a year.
18:15
And I do think I can confidently say that I would stack up the
18:21
quality, the integrity, the just overall, maybe trustworthiness
18:27
of the people in our community, you know, in the leaders, the
18:32
ones who I've gotten to know, which are a lot of the, you
18:34
know, people that are, that are, that are very active, I don't
18:37
say leaders, but very active in the community.
18:41
I would stack the quality that we have and I think it's
18:44
different. I do up against any other
18:47
community out there. I don't think there's, you know,
18:50
I'm not going to sit here and say we're the absolute best and
18:52
because there's other great communities, no doubt, but I
18:55
would stack up the quality, like the maturity, the just, you
19:00
know, and I'm not saying that from an age perspective, just I,
19:03
I think it really sets us apart from some of the other
19:07
communities that are, I mean, we're dealing with at the end of
19:10
the day, people are investing money into this, right?
19:13
Like they want to be like associated with projects where
19:16
people are like fun. We have a lot of fun.
19:19
We do a lot of great things. I have a, you know, you've got a
19:22
great sense of humor. I think I of course have a great
19:25
sense of humor, but at the end of the day, this is also kind of
19:29
serious business, if that does that make sense?
19:32
Of course, of course. And the, the, the price actions
19:36
give us the opportunity to distinguish who are here to stay
19:41
and to work and who are, who are here just for, you know, like a,
19:47
like a tree with a full of fruits.
19:49
The bad fruits, they don't last long.
19:52
They fall 1st and they get rotten.
19:54
The good fruits, the fruits that the, the farmer picks at the end
19:58
to, to deliver to the market are the best fruits that they're
20:01
strong and you know, you know how the good foods are.
20:04
So that's that's the people that they're forming UFD community
20:10
right now are the good foods at the time that the all the bad
20:13
foods are almost good or they're.
20:16
Yeah. Well, there, there, there.
20:18
There's a lot of islands, right? The Greek islands.
20:20
I've never been to Greece. Someday I will, but there's a
20:22
lot of islands in Greece, Correct?
20:25
I am in an island. You're on.
20:27
OK, Well, then, then you can answer this, this one for me,
20:31
the way the way I look at UFD is that we are like an island,
20:37
right in the sea of crypto, in the sea of meme coins.
20:41
We're an island. We have, you know, a limited,
20:45
finite number of coins that were created that will ever be
20:48
created, right? 999 million.
20:51
The island can't get any bigger. And, and, and some people come
20:55
to the UFD island, they come to visit, they like what they see.
21:00
They say, Hey, there's a lot of good people, people here, right?
21:02
I want to, I want to buy some land on this island, but there's
21:05
only so much land on the island. You got other people that show
21:10
up and maybe, you know, they rent a house for a month and
21:13
like, hey, it's great. I love it, but I'm leaving.
21:15
Bye bye. And then we got people that show
21:18
up, you know, for the, for a, for a one night or two night
21:21
stay just to have a big party blowout and they're here,
21:24
they're gone. They don't care.
21:25
But what we, I think, I think what we're doing because our
21:28
island can't get any bigger, is that because we've got such a
21:32
core group of good people that own land on the island.
21:35
People like you, people like me, people like all the other great
21:39
people like we talked about in our community that as we attract
21:42
more and more people to the island and, and that actually
21:45
want to buy land, eventually, you know, there's not a lot of
21:50
land left for people to buy. Does that make sense?
21:52
Since you live on an island, the.
21:54
First people out there living on an island, they're buying the
21:59
the front sea properties, they are buying in a low market cap,
22:04
they're building villas that they cost after a few months,
22:08
few years, they cost 20, fifty, 1000 times the money that they
22:12
first invested to buy the land. And then when the the island
22:17
becomes famous and becomes attracted tourism attraction,
22:21
they you have houses building everywhere and there are people
22:25
there are OK to to build a a house or a small villa on the
22:29
mountain with a Seaview or in a village.
22:31
They just want to belong on this island.
22:34
And then the new people, when there is no land, they have to
22:37
wait for someone to sell the property in a very high price.
22:41
That's how that's how you are, who we are.
22:44
And I think you are absolutely right.
22:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, next question for you, my
22:49
friend Connector, because you always have great insights.
22:52
And so everybody knows, you know, I connector and I don't
22:55
talk on a super regular basis, but we've, I've listened to
22:58
Connector talk many times and I'm always like, yeah, I agree
23:01
with with most everything you always say when you look at the
23:05
meme coin sector in particular right now, kind of what's going
23:09
on during 2025 and then you look out, let's say, and just I, I
23:15
want your best opinion, your best feeling about your instinct
23:19
about what will happen. How do you think the meme coin
23:22
sector in general will change in let's say the next year, year
23:26
and a half? Any any thoughts on that?
23:29
Well, I'm waiting to see the new regulation that will come
23:32
probably on January. It was to to be announced on
23:35
December and to be voted, but it got delayed.
23:38
So they will announce that they will vote about it hopefully and
23:43
probably in January, January or early February.
23:47
I think that they will. Nobody wants this endless
23:52
production of projects and MIM coins that are only, you know,
23:58
diluting the value of the of the, of the space.
24:01
So I think there will be some more clarity, some more
24:05
regulations that actually will limit the, the, the launch of
24:10
new projects that they don't they shouldn't be there from the
24:14
very beginning. And because all governments now
24:19
they're trying to make the crypt adoption and everybody will
24:24
start using crypto way more often and for more uses,
24:31
utilities from the past, people will have crypto wallets for
24:35
their stable coins. And when you have knowledge and
24:38
access to something that you never know that it exists, you
24:41
could start to experiment and try things and look at this new
24:46
world that you have entered. And eventually you will, you
24:52
will find the min coins because min coins are the best way to
24:55
enter crypto. It's more fun and more easy to
24:58
hold and more volatile, gives you more more profits, let's say
25:06
if you are lucky or if you're holding the right project or and
25:09
of course, the right timing. And I think that the old blue
25:13
chip memes like ourselves and especially now that we enter a
25:17
very small group of IP memes, this is, this is suits for us
25:21
people that they haven't understand it yet, but actually
25:24
enter us into a very small group of 15 projects on Solana
25:30
ecosystem. So they will find about us and
25:35
they will join our community. And it's actually happening
25:40
because I've seen the last two months, the available tokens on
25:44
Radium pool were 76.7 million today and the market price was
25:53
higher. Now with a lower market price,
25:55
the available tokens, I think they just dropped before below
25:59
70 millions. That tells us that people are
26:02
buying and holding and the available tokens are, you know,
26:07
the building that we were saying in the island the the property
26:11
is fewer and more expensive. So it's only about time that you
26:17
won't be able to buy cheap UFT tokens.
26:21
Yeah, yeah, it's. You know, I, I, I agree with you
26:24
and I can sense that it's beginning, that it's interesting
26:28
the statistic that you just shared, because I was talking
26:31
with another community member yesterday afternoon on the
26:33
phone. And I said, it feels like to me
26:36
that this shift in the meme coin sector is already occurring.
26:41
That the, that the, the kind of gambling mentality, this, this,
26:46
these, the rug pole type stuff, it's still happening, but that
26:50
the trend is starting to go down and that people are starting to
26:54
look for more quality projects. And I think it's only going to
26:58
accelerate. And I think like you said, if
27:00
there's some type of regulation, I mean, I know it's a
27:03
controversial subject to interrupt you.
27:05
But I just checked the the update and now the available
27:09
tokens few hours before we're 70 million and now it's 68.300 6th.
27:16
And. Our in our first right, I was
27:19
looking this data and below 65 available million tokens always
27:26
say UFD goes parabolic. So we're very, very close.
27:29
Just a few more people buying and you will see things.
27:33
Actually, I think this interview today signifies our our
27:36
comeback, to be honest. Yeah, yeah.
27:39
Yeah, I mean, I just I feel like the meme coin sector, I I
27:43
started kind of talking about it and feeling it 3-4 months ago
27:46
that, you know, like this can't last.
27:48
And and like you said earlier, connector that we we've we're in
27:53
this situation where the world right, the world governments,
27:56
the big the big banks, everybody is kind of encouraging this
28:01
shift towards crypto, but they're not going to they're
28:04
they're not going to want this. Like, I'm sorry, but I can't
28:08
think of a better word insanity like we experienced, you know,
28:12
during during the last year going on in part of the crypto
28:16
sector, in the meme coin sector. And if they kind of clean that
28:19
up and at the same time, we have massive amounts of liquidity
28:23
coming in over the next years. And and you know, like we're a
28:29
project that stands apart. We're a project that's, you
28:32
know, you said a blue chip and you know, things move so, so
28:35
quickly and crypto that it's wild to think, but we really are
28:39
a blue chip. And I guess blue chips, not just
28:41
about the amount of time, which a year, what we've done and what
28:46
we've proven in in crypto over the last year and crypto time is
28:49
a long time, but also the quality of the project, right?
28:52
And like we've talked about here already that it really sets us
28:56
apart and puts us in a position where where new people coming
29:00
in, we're easy to understand. We aren't complicated, right?
29:04
We aren't selling any, any, any hard to understand, you know,
29:10
technical promise or anything like that.
29:12
And and we've got this culture behind us as well.
29:15
And I'd like to get your thoughts on that, right?
29:17
Like this are meme, right? The Unicorn in like how I've
29:22
heard a couple people say this lately like like good memes good
29:26
good culture can kind of is almost timeless.
29:30
Does that does that make sense? I will answer to.
29:34
You in a different way that you might different answer.
29:39
Yeah, spend sometimes with your family right now and with your
29:43
daughters because the next months you will be in every TV
29:47
show of the country and maybe abroad.
29:50
I'm telling you this, what is going to happen on the on the
29:54
crypto space and then the meme space, it will be nothing
29:59
happened before it. It will be so huge and people
30:02
that they are hard working and dogs like you.
30:05
You will be invited everywhere. You have to decline, decline or
30:09
accepting proposals every day. So I think that answers your
30:14
question. I hope you're right Connector.
30:18
Maybe I'll have a a bright pink private jet that I can fly
30:22
around on, right? You never know.
30:24
Yeah, maybe we will. Ask her that duster to build 1.
30:27
She she knows she has the they know how.
30:32
Yeah, exactly. They did a great job on the
30:34
Duster. I was driving it around driving
30:36
it around yesterday and somebody asked me my I said that we had
30:40
some friends over last night and and they are dusters.
30:43
I'll repeat that. But but they, they said, do you
30:46
do people like, does the car get a lot of attention?
30:49
And I said, you know, I've been driving it out for six months.
30:52
So I kind of forget that I'm driving it.
30:54
And I was, I drove over to my parents house yesterday and I
30:59
was on the highway and as I'm driving, I thought, why is this
31:02
car next to me like just hovering right next to the car?
31:07
And I and I looked over, I glanced over to see and that
31:11
there's the lady with her phone up videotaping the duster going
31:15
down the highway. So yeah, you know, it's, it's,
31:19
it's, it's, it's a, it's a cool thing.
31:21
And I guess we never know where this might that might get us,
31:24
get us to. And maybe we will put it on the.
31:27
Far Dart museum that we'll create someday.
31:30
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
31:32
You're right. No, I'd, well, I know.
31:33
Then we came down, I brought them down into the basement.
31:35
I was showing them all the stuff, great things that that I
31:39
have from UFD, like I mean like DJ Litmus and I don't show it
31:44
off. They gave me sent me this really
31:46
cool custom like wrestling champion belt with UFD on it.
31:50
I mean, just some cool things, flags, you name it, everything
31:53
else and and our neighbors like, what are you going to do with
31:56
all that stuff? And I said, well, I like it.
31:58
I love having it around. I mean, I got one up right
32:00
there. That was the we were the mean
32:02
coin of the year award right there.
32:04
I don't know if I can move out of the way.
32:06
It's on a it's really cool that somebody sent us and I thought,
32:10
I'm like, I don't know. And then it dawned on me.
32:12
I thought, well, we can have it in the museum.
32:14
Like I've got like enough stuff to fill up a UFD museum at this
32:17
point that everybody can come and you know, it'd be fun.
32:21
I do, I do. I I do think it would be cool at
32:23
some point if we had a play. Like a place definitely worth
32:27
it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:29
Yeah, exactly. What about Instagram?
32:34
You're you're active on Instagram.
32:37
How's that going, Connector? And I know you're working very
32:39
hard and on behalf of the whole community, thank you for
32:41
everything you're doing with our Instagram presence.
32:45
Yeah, actually. What you were saying before that
32:49
we have a dusters from all around the world.
32:52
I can see it on the Instagram information and data that we
32:56
that I collect from the platform.
32:58
And I have seen that we have the visitors and dusters from some
33:03
small cities, villages that I didn't know that they even
33:07
existed. So I think we are everywhere
33:09
exactly as you said, and in every country.
33:13
And then in every small village you have someone that maybe he's
33:17
dusted or maybe he's a buttercut, but he's, he's
33:20
watching. And I think Instagram is a good
33:25
way of showing the Unicorn to to the world and maybe people that
33:31
they're liking our posts and are following our page.
33:35
Maybe they can also already share some posts.
33:37
It will help the algorithm. Of course, it's not as popular
33:41
as X and on the web 3 because people they on Instagram,
33:47
they're using their real names and identity and some some of
33:51
them they are too lazy to create another one or they if they
33:55
don't want to expose into who's following what and who's liking
33:58
what. But we're doing our best.
34:01
We're everywhere, as as you know and everybody social media and
34:08
it's a small piece of the puzzle.
34:10
Every piece it's it helps to create the perfect puzzle.
34:15
You know you. I'm going.
34:17
To I want to interject because as you were talking about
34:20
Instagram and how it's worldwide and I know what we're doing on
34:24
the X platform, which is worldwide.
34:27
One of our community members brought up and and I think this
34:30
is super exciting because it really positions our project
34:34
king cost. I think it was him sent me
34:36
something at one point about this.
34:38
It's called the marketing rule of seven, which means that most
34:42
people in the market, well, it's generally accepted in the
34:46
advertising and marketing world that most people need to have
34:50
like seven impressions of something.
34:52
Like they need to see it 7 times before they'll actually make a
34:57
decision about something before they'll take some type of
34:59
action. So as I think about like what
35:01
we've done over the last year, I can verify this it.
35:04
Happened to me and with my wife. She showed me 7 times before we
35:07
end up dating so yeah I thought it was.
35:11
I thought it was love at first sight.
35:13
Connector when she saw you. Yeah, but I think it was.
35:16
Seven times we had to meet before we actually started team
35:19
dating. Yeah.
35:19
So yeah, yeah, I think with Susie it.
35:23
Took like 17 before she before she would take me on.
35:30
But I mean, we're doing it right.
35:31
Like we are like during this, during this crazy time in meme
35:36
coins and crypt over the last year, we have showed up and
35:39
steadily continued to, to, to, to, to introduce millions of
35:45
people to Unicorn fart dust on Instagram, on YouTube, on
35:50
TikTok, on, on X, on, you know, all these different platforms.
35:55
And, and that eventually that will, you know, and if you think
35:59
about what, what I think you and I agree on and that there's
36:02
going to be some pretty massive changes in crypto in the coming
36:07
years, but also some pretty massive new adoption of crypto
36:11
with more and more people coming in.
36:14
And at the same time, our, our community of like diamond hoove
36:18
dusters, the data that Vincent puts out about, you know, the
36:21
top 250 wallets and the percentage of beans that they
36:25
own, which is always over 60%. And, and, and the number, the
36:30
percentage that are diamond hooved held 90 days, 60 days or
36:34
30 days. That all those things coming
36:37
together could be like a confluence of like factors that
36:42
could result in something very exciting for for what we're
36:47
doing with UFD. Definitely I didn't.
36:50
I didn't want to be anywhere else to, to pass these difficult
36:55
times and months. The last months we had very
36:59
difficult times as you know in crypto space.
37:00
I didn't want to be anywhere else.
37:02
But UFDUFD made it easier for every community member that's
37:08
part of UFD to withstand all the difficulties and all the bad
37:13
emotions that the markets can and their, their that's their
37:17
role to make you desperate so that you can sell in a loss.
37:23
That's how they they get money. So that's how some people win.
37:28
If you and your friends get become desperate and selling
37:32
loss, it's the market, how the market works.
37:37
So in UFD, we'll, we'll have each other.
37:41
I know how a lot of people, they've DM me in the past and
37:44
they were anxious and stressed and you know, you calm, calm
37:49
them down and they understand that it's a phase of the
37:52
markets. It's not about our projects.
37:55
And this is not something that you can find in any projects.
38:00
People are getting desperate and you know them, especially some
38:04
people they are, they have over invested and it's more difficult
38:08
for them, especially if they're, if some people they suffer from
38:12
loneliness and all this together is a very bad mixture.
38:17
If you don't have someone to, to hold your to, to, to hold your
38:22
hand or to cut your back, it's very difficult.
38:26
And I think we're doing fine because all these months here,
38:31
we have changed the way of thinking into, into doing good
38:36
things for society and for group of people, as you know.
38:41
And it helps the time pass faster.
38:44
And always when the tide shifts and the good times returns, you
38:49
look back and you know who was there for you.
38:52
And I know some people there, I don't want to mention that they
38:55
help people in need in UFD because some of them, they were
38:59
struggling also financially. And I know some people they have
39:02
donated and they have loaned them, they have helped them,
39:05
they have visited their, their companies to support.
39:09
So it's a club. We are in a very special club.
39:13
And it will get. It will become even better and
39:17
and and real. Friendships, right?
39:19
You use real friendships. Yeah, you used a lot of.
39:21
Words to describe what I think are in great words, but also
39:26
that like real, real, like legitimate friendships.
39:30
And you know, I was these neighbors I was talking to this
39:32
night. They're like, well, what's the
39:33
difference between Web 2 and Web 3?
39:35
And I tried to explain kind of how I understand it at the depth
39:39
of relationships, But maybe that's a, that's a another great
39:43
way to describe it. Like real, like real friendships
39:47
are, are, are formed and bonded and real communities are created
39:52
through this. And yeah, when the market's
39:55
tough like it's been, I mean, that's just it is what it is,
39:58
right? And people capitulate, people
40:00
give up, right? That's the time when real, real
40:05
communities are built, when real projects are built.
40:08
And whether you're talking and that just doesn't apply to
40:11
crypto, that applies to companies to.
40:14
You know, maybe churches, all types countries, right?
40:18
I mean, even countries, when you look at the history, everybody
40:21
has gone through these really tough times.
40:23
And that's when like things are forged when the when, when it's
40:28
really comes together. And it feels like to me that's
40:31
what we have going right now with UFD.
40:34
Yeah. And it's very.
40:35
Difficult for people outside of crypto to understand this.
40:39
They don't. They can't believe this actually
40:41
exists. Friendships through a mean
40:44
community or something. They think it's like kind of a
40:47
joke, but unless you experience it, you cannot understand it and
40:51
you cannot see that is actually truth and stronger than and what
40:59
people think. Yeah, Yeah.
41:01
And it's. And it's incredible that it
41:03
happens across borders. It probably doesn't just cross
41:07
country borders, but crosses borders of political ideology,
41:12
religion, everything else. It really is a special
41:15
situation, right, where people within UFD even set aside things
41:20
that maybe they don't agree on, but agree that that they want to
41:23
be part of the project and and help and help further the
41:27
movement. I think that's a word I've heard
41:29
you use before that we are that we're doing right now.
41:34
Yeah, definitely. What I've seen in UFD is that
41:39
we'll have people from very different political ideologies
41:45
and religious religions and we have managed to get along so
41:51
well, like we never have problems due to these
41:57
differences that we have. And actually, I think it's like
42:03
that's the power of the community to to focus on the
42:06
real and important things and keep for yourselves the less
42:11
significant things like, but you have a belief, but actually
42:16
doesn't influence your life as a as what you do for a community,
42:20
as a member, as a as a member. Yeah.
42:22
And. It's pretty powerful when you
42:24
think about what, when you, when you think about this connector
42:27
that, that I believe most people in the world, the vast majority
42:32
of people in the world are, are good people that just want
42:36
basically all the same things, a sense of security, friendships,
42:39
a sense of community, that most people are good.
42:43
And that what we are kind of moving forward with UFD is this
42:47
idea that good attracts good. And so it opens us like our,
42:52
our, it was Emma who, who brought this up probably 10
42:56
months ago, put out a little report about our total
42:59
addressable market, meaning like, you know, like we aren't a
43:02
token that's about, I don't know, tuna fishing or we aren't
43:08
like super niche like we are really what we're about is this
43:12
good attracts good thing. So because most people in the
43:15
world are good, we've got a big market of people that they can
43:19
become interested. And we've got IP, right?
43:21
Like you said earlier, what 1 of 15 meme coins with IP that's
43:25
really cute and fun, but that we have like we we, we we aren't
43:31
like niching ourselves into some little particular area.
43:35
We're really open to almost everybody.
43:39
Yeah. And we.
43:40
Are only one year old. So it's baby steps.
43:44
I mean the the perspective and the the roads from here it's
43:51
endless. You can you can walk, you can
43:54
walk, you can evolve without a limit.
43:59
It's limitless. Yeah, it is wild.
44:02
Hey, I want to show everybody your if they want to follow you,
44:06
follow Connector on X. This is his ex profile.
44:10
Let me make sure I'm at the top of the page here.
44:12
Yep, Connector at connector under score 13 if that's where
44:16
they go, if they want to follow you Mr. Connector.
44:19
Yes, yes. That's the one and I can't
44:22
believe. That we've been talking now for
44:24
almost 45 minutes, feels like 5 minutes.
44:28
Is there anything I forgot to ask you or anything else you
44:30
want to share with the community, with the, with our
44:32
viewer who's with us right now? No, I think that this interview
44:39
went very well. We've pumped 20% since we began,
44:45
and we should do it. Yeah, I'm serious.
44:49
Yeah, well, we're going to keep going.
44:51
Connector. Yeah, I think we should.
44:54
We should do a marathon, it's a Greek word.
44:56
And maybe we end up in midnight at 20 million market cap, who
45:00
knows? No, I'm going to hop on a plane.
45:04
I'll, I'll do a live stream from Look look.
45:08
I know I've tell to the community I'm going to host the
45:11
European meet ups in Villa here in Greece after the Bitcoin
45:18
convention of April. If things turn out as well as
45:22
I'm expecting, we're going to have a meet up here and we're
45:26
going to meet here in real life and we're going to have a lot of
45:30
fun. Yeah, That, that, that.
45:32
Sounds awesome. Because we've got so many people
45:34
in Europe, right? And I mean, in Greece is is
45:37
obviously pretty much more accessible from Europe than it
45:42
is for the Europeans to come to the United States.
45:44
So that would be awesome. I just want to make sure
45:46
everybody heard that right. If things go well.
45:49
It's something. Yeah, I promise.
45:50
I promise. It's AI promise I will provide
45:53
the place and everything and yeah, let's hope it will happen
45:59
soon. So and and and and.
46:02
And you're out. You live on an island, correct?
46:04
So we'll yeah, yeah, we'll be, it'll, it'll be Unicorn Fartdust
46:07
Island like we've talked about so many times, Connector on
46:11
behalf of myself, Susie, everybody in our community,
46:17
you're a great guy. You're a smart guy.
46:20
That's why I was really super excited to have you on because
46:23
there's been so many times when I've listened to you talk over
46:26
the last what, 6 months or so, it feels like where I'm like,
46:29
wow, that makes sense. Just thank you for coming on
46:34
here. Thanks for joining me down here
46:36
in the basement. Even though you're on a Greek
46:37
island, I won't be jealous, but it was really, it was really a
46:41
big honor to have you on here. And I like what you said, you
46:46
know, when, when I think about what you said about the
46:48
community and the project and just kind of the uniqueness that
46:53
we have, but also the strength that we have.
46:57
And, and, and when I kind of put it all together, what I heard
47:00
from you today, I'm feeling really good about where we're
47:04
heading with this project. So thank you so much, man.
47:07
We, we really appreciate you. Thank you for inviting.
