Transcript
- 0:45Good attracts good. Everybody, welcome to the live
- 0:52stream. Welcome to the basement.
- 0:54The Unicorn fart dust movement is absolutely worldwide.
- 0:59Yesterday we were in Sweden, the day before that we were all the
- 1:02way in Australia. And today we have a very special
- 1:05guest, a a favorite within the UFD community, somebody who's
- 1:09doing great things for our project, but even more
- 1:13importantly for than that, for this live stream, somebody that
- 1:16I think has some great insights, observations about crypto in
- 1:21general, the meme coin sector, and then of course, the Unicorn
- 1:24fart Dust project as well. So it's my big honor to
- 1:27introduce to you one of my favorites, our friend Connector
- 1:31all the way from the country of Greece.
- 1:33Connector. Welcome to Ron's basement,
- 1:35welcome to Duster Club. Thank you so much for joining us
- 1:38today. Hello, Ron.
- 1:40Hello everybody and thank you for inviting me the basement
- 1:44even from a distance. I guess I'm an old man
- 1:49connector. It still blows my mind that I
- 1:51can sit in a basement in Saint Louis and you can be in Greece
- 1:54and we can be connected with other people, right?
- 1:57The the really it's me and you, but the most important the 3rd,
- 2:014th, 5th and who knows how many people will join us all around
- 2:05the world. So how are things in Greece
- 2:07these days? Tell me.
- 2:08Tell me. How I will tell you a secret.
- 2:11I was listening to music from tapes and I use a pen to rewind
- 2:16the tape. So we're not that far.
- 2:19You're older than me, but we're not that far.
- 2:22So yeah, it's also for me strange how technology evolves
- 2:26so fast and we actually can do this right now.
- 2:29Yeah, it's, it's Grab. We had some neighbors over last
- 2:32night and they're dusters, by the way, good friends of ours.
- 2:35They own UFD and, and, and we were talking about the kind of
- 2:39the difference I was trying, I was trying my best to explain to
- 2:41them the difference between Web 2, right, which is YouTube and
- 2:45they're about my age and they're into YouTube.
- 2:48And but the difference between Web 2 and Web 3 and how as I
- 2:53understand it, one of the big differences is that in Web
- 2:55three, we developed these really like deep relationships, like
- 3:00it's more relationship movement oriented and it's really cool,
- 3:04right? And I think with our project,
- 3:06like we are really on the kind of the leading edge of what's
- 3:10going on right now in the world. Yes, if you stop considering
- 3:16your money as a gambling money and just focusing on find the
- 3:21right projects and the right communities and you consider
- 3:24your money as a long term invest.
- 3:26Invest, Yeah, investor investing, Yeah, investment
- 3:31actually, Yeah, sorry, I found the the word it's actually
- 3:35things is this is the key point that things are showing and they
- 3:40are actually different. If you are a gambler, you, you
- 3:43cannot be attached to any project, to any people, to, to
- 3:46any person, to anything. And you don't care about the
- 3:50technology, you don't care about the films communities, you only
- 3:53care about yourself and how you can make your bag bigger, even
- 3:57if it's in a short term, because in the long term economies
- 4:00everything. So I think that it, everything
- 4:04starts from how you are facing, how you treat your money and
- 4:10your time, because money comes and goes.
- 4:13But time? No.
- 4:15If you miss the time, the time you have a problem, time doesn't
- 4:21come back. Yeah, and, and you, and you
- 4:24brought up a a big point, you know, like obviously there's
- 4:27gambling tokens and, and I want to talk to you and get your
- 4:30perspective on how the meme coin sector is changing, you know,
- 4:34but if people are gambling, you know, I've been guilty of it,
- 4:37right? I mean, I've been trading stocks
- 4:39and I've traded options before over the years.
- 4:42You spend so much time focused on charts, so much time focused
- 4:47on just trying to make a quick buck.
- 4:50And the reality is most of the time, most people who are active
- 4:53traders, the vast majority wind up losing money.
- 4:56So you'll wind up losing money and you go through that
- 4:59horrible. I've been through it.
- 5:01I think a lot of people have been through it, that horrible
- 5:03feeling of, of having lost money, whereas like you talked
- 5:07about and, and I think, I think that's one of the ways that the
- 5:10meme coin sector is evolving here, you know, has begun to
- 5:14evolve, but I think will continue to evolve that the
- 5:17gamblers, they're not, they're not going to completely go away,
- 5:21obviously, but I think there's going to be a bit of a shift
- 5:24towards people looking for quality assets where they can
- 5:28get involved in communities where they can have a real
- 5:31impact on, on, on the success. Like, like, you know, you could
- 5:34spend all day staring at charts trying to make a quick dollar,
- 5:38or you could actually stay in stay, you know, involved in the
- 5:42crypto and spend some of that energy on helping build the
- 5:46project and have, you know, a real impact on the success of of
- 5:50whatever project you decide to get involved in.
- 5:53Yeah, I think that things are actually like in real life.
- 5:57If you haven't experienced, experienced bad situation, bad
- 6:00relationships, bad, Yeah, you cannot.
- 6:06You cannot. What's the word?
- 6:10Appreciate. Appreciate, yeah.
- 6:12You cannot appreciate when the good comes to your life and when
- 6:15you this good comes to your life and you have experienced all the
- 6:18bad on the bad situation, you have to hold this good thing.
- 6:22This is exactly what's happening with the web three.
- 6:25Everybody started because the people there were promising fast
- 6:29and many XS. But at the end of the day, 99%
- 6:35were had to lose for 1% to win and usually this 1% was a very
- 6:39lucky person or 99% an insider. So if you're in the crypto
- 6:47sector, eventually you will find out that the only way to make
- 6:51money and to have fun during this money making situation is
- 6:58to meet good people that have the same mentality and good
- 7:04communities. And that's about about mint
- 7:06coins. When you're looking for a
- 7:08utility project, you just have to find a utility project that
- 7:11you believe and you have to face it and treat it like a long time
- 7:17investment. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:20And I like the the, you know, it's my opinion only, but you
- 7:23know, UFDI think. Well, let's back up.
- 7:27I think we know I've learned a lot over the last year about
- 7:29crypto. And one of the things I learned
- 7:32was that, yeah, 99% of the projects, I mean, there's what,
- 7:3530 million cryptos now? And 99% of the projects, most
- 7:40all of them didn't ever deliver. I mean, they all came out with a
- 7:45promise, right? Connector.
- 7:46I mean, every single one of those 30 million to 1° or
- 7:49another came out with some type of promise.
- 7:52Some of the big projects, the big utility projects that were
- 7:55backed by millions and millions of dollars from venture capital
- 7:58came out with these huge, huge promises of how they're going to
- 8:01change the world and all this utility they're going to
- 8:04provide. And, and I heard somebody say it
- 8:07like they didn't, they never really delivered on the utility.
- 8:10Some of them did. No doubt there's some great
- 8:12ones, but most of them never delivered on the utility and on
- 8:16top of that, they never had a community.
- 8:18And I think that's I, I still, I really think that's one of our
- 8:22massive strengths that we have with UFD is that, you know, we
- 8:28never promised anything huge, right?
- 8:30And, and that essentially our community, this grassroots, one
- 8:34hundred, 100% pure grassroots organic community really is our
- 8:39utility, right? I mean, the value you provide
- 8:42with Instagram, the value that that countless other people
- 8:46provide by things they take on like our community really does,
- 8:51that is our utility. And as the community he grows,
- 8:54in theory, who knows what utility, quote UN quote, could
- 8:58be created. Am I on track when I think that
- 9:00way in your opinion? In my opinion is that the many
- 9:04utility projects they didn't aim to do bad or to not, not to not
- 9:11deliver what they promised. But the the speed in the web 3
- 9:14is so fast that the every project that they're having a
- 9:19vision to create something. Sometimes another project comes
- 9:22out few months later, one or one year later and they have better
- 9:26developers. They're doing the same things
- 9:27that the others promise faster. And on top of that, they promise
- 9:31another extra utility that makes the investors jumping from the
- 9:35old coin that didn't have the time to deliver or they didn't
- 9:38make it so far jump to the new one.
- 9:41So actually it's like many half broken factories that no one
- 9:45made it to, to work and to deliver what they aim to what
- 9:50they should be delivering. So a new factory next to the old
- 9:53half broken factory, it's been constructed.
- 9:56People are going investing the money there, but the, the, the,
- 10:00the final product never comes out.
- 10:03And we have a full of industrial area full of half built
- 10:08factories. So that's how I see utility
- 10:11projects. And, and you know, it's like
- 10:14Coca-Cola and Pepsi, they are the 1st that they made this
- 10:19industry blossom. So even if new companies are
- 10:25trying to get some portion of the pie, they these two giants,
- 10:30they have the money, they have the infrastructure, they have
- 10:33the the people to eliminate the competition and always be on
- 10:38top. So the same is happening with
- 10:41meme sectors. And if you have a very good meme
- 10:44with dogs dev like yourself, and eventually people understand
- 10:48that they have a place that a legit project that they can
- 10:52belong. They can have a nice time.
- 10:55They do good things like we did with the with the cancer thing,
- 11:00with live like a Unicorn, like the donation or the things that
- 11:04we did in Africa that will help some Africans, help some other
- 11:10children. This makes people stick, stick
- 11:13around because you cannot do it by yourself, but through a
- 11:16community. You, you get the results that
- 11:20you want for the world. You create a better world.
- 11:22And that's only when you treat your investment, your money as
- 11:27an investment, not as a gambling.
- 11:29You cannot do good things just to show off you want to good
- 11:34things to do good things. And to have a meme like a club,
- 11:43a special club that people want to.
- 11:45In real life, they pay thousands of of dollars or euros to belong
- 11:50in a special club. And here you can have it just by
- 11:54having some UFD tokens. If you are active member, no.
- 11:58Active member of the community. Nobody asks you how many tokens
- 12:01you have. Maybe you don't have tokens, but
- 12:03you just like the community. Again, you are free to to mingle
- 12:06and help or donate when the project do something.
- 12:10Well, the possibilities are endless.
- 12:13So you only have to find the project that you believe.
- 12:16And actually it proves itself every day like we have been
- 12:19doing the last year. I haven't seen anything like
- 12:22this my whole life in the crypto space.
- 12:26It's it's amazing what we are creating.
- 12:29Yeah, and it's wild because like we said at the beginning, you're
- 12:32in Greece, I'm in Saint Louis. Yesterday I was in Sweden, the
- 12:38day before that in Australia tomorrow I'm going to have some.
- 12:40I'm trying to do a UFD around the World Series for a week or
- 12:44so where I go and talk. I mean, it's not just that that
- 12:48that what we're doing is cool, but it's also available to
- 12:51pretty much everybody in the entire world, right?
- 12:55I mean, most everybody. Now, I read something the other
- 12:57day Connector that said there's more cell phone subscriptions, I
- 13:01think was the way they described it.
- 13:03Then there are people on the face of the earth.
- 13:05And so like everybody has access and fair equal access.
- 13:09And you brought up something very important, right?
- 13:11It's like like you don't have any more special access to UFD
- 13:16than I have or and I don't have any more special access than you
- 13:20have. And that's true for everybody
- 13:21means somebody owns 10 UFD beans, which is around a dollar
- 13:26right now. They have the exact same access
- 13:28to it is anybody else. And it's like we really are.
- 13:33I get excited when I talk about it and I probably talk about
- 13:35this too much, but it's like we really are doing something
- 13:39almost revolutionary to a certain degree.
- 13:42Like we are right on the leading edge of of I guess, you know,
- 13:46evolution of, of, of how value is created, how communities are
- 13:51created, right? Because like you said, people
- 13:54want to belong, Pete, when I first got into crypto one year
- 13:59ago, right now, about exactly 1 year ago right now, as I was
- 14:03trying to figure out like, what's the value in this?
- 14:05What's the value in this? And then it dawned on me, right?
- 14:08Like, wow, yeah, people will pay big money to belong to clubs,
- 14:12country clubs. The Lions Club is a big thing
- 14:15here in the United States. There's a whole slew because
- 14:18people want to be part of something where there's a, a
- 14:21movement, a shared belief and emotional connection in that, in
- 14:26that they can make a real difference.
- 14:27And man, it's just, it's crazy with the technology, right?
- 14:32Cuz really, I mean, it really I think of is a big gift right
- 14:36now, this time period that we're living through this technology
- 14:39that allows us to do it. And I think like, I forget, you
- 14:42know, day-to-day, sometimes I forget what a special
- 14:45opportunity it is that we have, right?
- 14:47You know, right, right in front of us right now, we're doing it
- 14:50Connector. Exactly.
- 14:52But it's not very, it's not as easy as people believe it is to
- 14:57create something like this, because it takes a lot of effort
- 15:01and a lot of work to do what we what we have been doing.
- 15:04And this has happened just because of Euron.
- 15:08It's very rare to find someone with such a conviction like
- 15:11yourself. You are an inspiration for all
- 15:14of us. I have to tell you this, I
- 15:17haven't seen anyone doing what you're doing.
- 15:20Even if you have your regular job, you will miss a day.
- 15:24You will have a fight with your wife, you will feel you have a
- 15:27headache, you will miss the train.
- 15:29You won't go, you won't show up one day.
- 15:32You are doing it every day. This is unimaginable.
- 15:35This is huge conviction and when you have a leader like you,
- 15:40people are willing to follow and they can thrive all together
- 15:44because it's a chain. When the the the first piece of
- 15:49the chain is so strong, the chain will always hold no matter
- 15:53who will try to break the chain. And to you, my friend, you are
- 15:57the the strongest piece of the chain.
- 16:00That I appreciate you saying that.
- 16:02That's very a great compliment and it touched me to hear that.
- 16:07But you know, what's interesting is you say that like I look at
- 16:10other people in the community, like you working on Instagram.
- 16:13I mean, I could go through the whole list, you know, as well as
- 16:16I do the whole slew of fellow UFD community members and I look
- 16:21at them and I think, wow, there, you know, Georgie sometimes is
- 16:24working. I mean, there's a whole bunch of
- 16:26people, so I don't want to go start naming names.
- 16:28So I'll leave a lot of people out.
- 16:30But I, it's funny because as you said, that that's kind of how I
- 16:34feel about like, like a lot of the people in the community.
- 16:38So I think maybe what that tells us is like we really are all
- 16:43doing. This I will tell you, I will
- 16:44tell you something that you don't know because you're only
- 16:46one here in crypto space. I've been in crypto space longer
- 16:49and, and I've worked for other teams and what I'm doing in the
- 16:54UFD, it's for, for myself, for the community, for you, for you
- 16:58know, we've never, no one is getting paid here, but you
- 17:01inspire people to do, to give their best because you're doing
- 17:04your best. So in other projects that I've
- 17:08been in the past and I know the teams, the quality of people
- 17:12were not so good. Some of them they were, but not
- 17:15the majority. The team that has gathered here
- 17:19in UFD, they're one better or the other in knowledge, in
- 17:24experience, in goodness. I mean, I haven't seen such a
- 17:30gathering of good people and clever and people that they have
- 17:34studied and they have expertise on different sectors.
- 17:38So that gives me the certainty, certainty that this project,
- 17:41project will succeed no matter what, no faster or later.
- 17:46It's destined, it's coded, it will succeed.
- 17:50I know it. You know, I agree with you 100%
- 17:55connector, like I've met a lot of the people in person.
- 17:58I've I've talked to a lot of people.
- 18:00I mean, you and I, I feel like you're a friend, right?
- 18:02I feel like if you came to Saint Louis, I went to Greece that,
- 18:06you know, we would feel 100% comfortable with each other.
- 18:10And I do, you know, again, I've not been in crypto as long as
- 18:14you have, but I've been around for a year.
- 18:15And I do think I can confidently say that I would stack up the
- 18:21quality, the integrity, the just overall, maybe trustworthiness
- 18:27of the people in our community, you know, in the leaders, the
- 18:32ones who I've gotten to know, which are a lot of the, you
- 18:34know, people that are, that are, that are very active, I don't
- 18:37say leaders, but very active in the community.
- 18:41I would stack the quality that we have and I think it's
- 18:44different. I do up against any other
- 18:47community out there. I don't think there's, you know,
- 18:50I'm not going to sit here and say we're the absolute best and
- 18:52because there's other great communities, no doubt, but I
- 18:55would stack up the quality, like the maturity, the just, you
- 19:00know, and I'm not saying that from an age perspective, just I,
- 19:03I think it really sets us apart from some of the other
- 19:07communities that are, I mean, we're dealing with at the end of
- 19:10the day, people are investing money into this, right?
- 19:13Like they want to be like associated with projects where
- 19:16people are like fun. We have a lot of fun.
- 19:19We do a lot of great things. I have a, you know, you've got a
- 19:22great sense of humor. I think I of course have a great
- 19:25sense of humor, but at the end of the day, this is also kind of
- 19:29serious business, if that does that make sense?
- 19:32Of course, of course. And the, the, the price actions
- 19:36give us the opportunity to distinguish who are here to stay
- 19:41and to work and who are, who are here just for, you know, like a,
- 19:47like a tree with a full of fruits.
- 19:49The bad fruits, they don't last long.
- 19:52They fall 1st and they get rotten.
- 19:54The good fruits, the fruits that the, the farmer picks at the end
- 19:58to, to deliver to the market are the best fruits that they're
- 20:01strong and you know, you know how the good foods are.
- 20:04So that's that's the people that they're forming UFD community
- 20:10right now are the good foods at the time that the all the bad
- 20:13foods are almost good or they're.
- 20:16Yeah. Well, there, there, there.
- 20:18There's a lot of islands, right? The Greek islands.
- 20:20I've never been to Greece. Someday I will, but there's a
- 20:22lot of islands in Greece, Correct?
- 20:25I am in an island. You're on.
- 20:27OK, Well, then, then you can answer this, this one for me,
- 20:31the way the way I look at UFD is that we are like an island,
- 20:37right in the sea of crypto, in the sea of meme coins.
- 20:41We're an island. We have, you know, a limited,
- 20:45finite number of coins that were created that will ever be
- 20:48created, right? 999 million.
- 20:51The island can't get any bigger. And, and, and some people come
- 20:55to the UFD island, they come to visit, they like what they see.
- 21:00They say, Hey, there's a lot of good people, people here, right?
- 21:02I want to, I want to buy some land on this island, but there's
- 21:05only so much land on the island. You got other people that show
- 21:10up and maybe, you know, they rent a house for a month and
- 21:13like, hey, it's great. I love it, but I'm leaving.
- 21:15Bye bye. And then we got people that show
- 21:18up, you know, for the, for a, for a one night or two night
- 21:21stay just to have a big party blowout and they're here,
- 21:24they're gone. They don't care.
- 21:25But what we, I think, I think what we're doing because our
- 21:28island can't get any bigger, is that because we've got such a
- 21:32core group of good people that own land on the island.
- 21:35People like you, people like me, people like all the other great
- 21:39people like we talked about in our community that as we attract
- 21:42more and more people to the island and, and that actually
- 21:45want to buy land, eventually, you know, there's not a lot of
- 21:50land left for people to buy. Does that make sense?
- 21:52Since you live on an island, the.
- 21:54First people out there living on an island, they're buying the
- 21:59the front sea properties, they are buying in a low market cap,
- 22:04they're building villas that they cost after a few months,
- 22:08few years, they cost 20, fifty, 1000 times the money that they
- 22:12first invested to buy the land. And then when the the island
- 22:17becomes famous and becomes attracted tourism attraction,
- 22:21they you have houses building everywhere and there are people
- 22:25there are OK to to build a a house or a small villa on the
- 22:29mountain with a Seaview or in a village.
- 22:31They just want to belong on this island.
- 22:34And then the new people, when there is no land, they have to
- 22:37wait for someone to sell the property in a very high price.
- 22:41That's how that's how you are, who we are.
- 22:44And I think you are absolutely right.
- 22:46Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, next question for you, my
- 22:49friend Connector, because you always have great insights.
- 22:52And so everybody knows, you know, I connector and I don't
- 22:55talk on a super regular basis, but we've, I've listened to
- 22:58Connector talk many times and I'm always like, yeah, I agree
- 23:01with with most everything you always say when you look at the
- 23:05meme coin sector in particular right now, kind of what's going
- 23:09on during 2025 and then you look out, let's say, and just I, I
- 23:15want your best opinion, your best feeling about your instinct
- 23:19about what will happen. How do you think the meme coin
- 23:22sector in general will change in let's say the next year, year
- 23:26and a half? Any any thoughts on that?
- 23:29Well, I'm waiting to see the new regulation that will come
- 23:32probably on January. It was to to be announced on
- 23:35December and to be voted, but it got delayed.
- 23:38So they will announce that they will vote about it hopefully and
- 23:43probably in January, January or early February.
- 23:47I think that they will. Nobody wants this endless
- 23:52production of projects and MIM coins that are only, you know,
- 23:58diluting the value of the of the, of the space.
- 24:01So I think there will be some more clarity, some more
- 24:05regulations that actually will limit the, the, the launch of
- 24:10new projects that they don't they shouldn't be there from the
- 24:14very beginning. And because all governments now
- 24:19they're trying to make the crypt adoption and everybody will
- 24:24start using crypto way more often and for more uses,
- 24:31utilities from the past, people will have crypto wallets for
- 24:35their stable coins. And when you have knowledge and
- 24:38access to something that you never know that it exists, you
- 24:41could start to experiment and try things and look at this new
- 24:46world that you have entered. And eventually you will, you
- 24:52will find the min coins because min coins are the best way to
- 24:55enter crypto. It's more fun and more easy to
- 24:58hold and more volatile, gives you more more profits, let's say
- 25:06if you are lucky or if you're holding the right project or and
- 25:09of course, the right timing. And I think that the old blue
- 25:13chip memes like ourselves and especially now that we enter a
- 25:17very small group of IP memes, this is, this is suits for us
- 25:21people that they haven't understand it yet, but actually
- 25:24enter us into a very small group of 15 projects on Solana
- 25:30ecosystem. So they will find about us and
- 25:35they will join our community. And it's actually happening
- 25:40because I've seen the last two months, the available tokens on
- 25:44Radium pool were 76.7 million today and the market price was
- 25:53higher. Now with a lower market price,
- 25:55the available tokens, I think they just dropped before below
- 25:5970 millions. That tells us that people are
- 26:02buying and holding and the available tokens are, you know,
- 26:07the building that we were saying in the island the the property
- 26:11is fewer and more expensive. So it's only about time that you
- 26:17won't be able to buy cheap UFT tokens.
- 26:21Yeah, yeah, it's. You know, I, I, I agree with you
- 26:24and I can sense that it's beginning, that it's interesting
- 26:28the statistic that you just shared, because I was talking
- 26:31with another community member yesterday afternoon on the
- 26:33phone. And I said, it feels like to me
- 26:36that this shift in the meme coin sector is already occurring.
- 26:41That the, that the, the kind of gambling mentality, this, this,
- 26:46these, the rug pole type stuff, it's still happening, but that
- 26:50the trend is starting to go down and that people are starting to
- 26:54look for more quality projects. And I think it's only going to
- 26:58accelerate. And I think like you said, if
- 27:00there's some type of regulation, I mean, I know it's a
- 27:03controversial subject to interrupt you.
- 27:05But I just checked the the update and now the available
- 27:09tokens few hours before we're 70 million and now it's 68.300 6th.
- 27:16And. Our in our first right, I was
- 27:19looking this data and below 65 available million tokens always
- 27:26say UFD goes parabolic. So we're very, very close.
- 27:29Just a few more people buying and you will see things.
- 27:33Actually, I think this interview today signifies our our
- 27:36comeback, to be honest. Yeah, yeah.
- 27:39Yeah, I mean, I just I feel like the meme coin sector, I I
- 27:43started kind of talking about it and feeling it 3-4 months ago
- 27:46that, you know, like this can't last.
- 27:48And and like you said earlier, connector that we we've we're in
- 27:53this situation where the world right, the world governments,
- 27:56the big the big banks, everybody is kind of encouraging this
- 28:01shift towards crypto, but they're not going to they're
- 28:04they're not going to want this. Like, I'm sorry, but I can't
- 28:08think of a better word insanity like we experienced, you know,
- 28:12during during the last year going on in part of the crypto
- 28:16sector, in the meme coin sector. And if they kind of clean that
- 28:19up and at the same time, we have massive amounts of liquidity
- 28:23coming in over the next years. And and you know, like we're a
- 28:29project that stands apart. We're a project that's, you
- 28:32know, you said a blue chip and you know, things move so, so
- 28:35quickly and crypto that it's wild to think, but we really are
- 28:39a blue chip. And I guess blue chips, not just
- 28:41about the amount of time, which a year, what we've done and what
- 28:46we've proven in in crypto over the last year and crypto time is
- 28:49a long time, but also the quality of the project, right?
- 28:52And like we've talked about here already that it really sets us
- 28:56apart and puts us in a position where where new people coming
- 29:00in, we're easy to understand. We aren't complicated, right?
- 29:04We aren't selling any, any, any hard to understand, you know,
- 29:10technical promise or anything like that.
- 29:12And and we've got this culture behind us as well.
- 29:15And I'd like to get your thoughts on that, right?
- 29:17Like this are meme, right? The Unicorn in like how I've
- 29:22heard a couple people say this lately like like good memes good
- 29:26good culture can kind of is almost timeless.
- 29:30Does that does that make sense? I will answer to.
- 29:34You in a different way that you might different answer.
- 29:39Yeah, spend sometimes with your family right now and with your
- 29:43daughters because the next months you will be in every TV
- 29:47show of the country and maybe abroad.
- 29:50I'm telling you this, what is going to happen on the on the
- 29:54crypto space and then the meme space, it will be nothing
- 29:59happened before it. It will be so huge and people
- 30:02that they are hard working and dogs like you.
- 30:05You will be invited everywhere. You have to decline, decline or
- 30:09accepting proposals every day. So I think that answers your
- 30:14question. I hope you're right Connector.
- 30:18Maybe I'll have a a bright pink private jet that I can fly
- 30:22around on, right? You never know.
- 30:24Yeah, maybe we will. Ask her that duster to build 1.
- 30:27She she knows she has the they know how.
- 30:32Yeah, exactly. They did a great job on the
- 30:34Duster. I was driving it around driving
- 30:36it around yesterday and somebody asked me my I said that we had
- 30:40some friends over last night and and they are dusters.
- 30:43I'll repeat that. But but they, they said, do you
- 30:46do people like, does the car get a lot of attention?
- 30:49And I said, you know, I've been driving it out for six months.
- 30:52So I kind of forget that I'm driving it.
- 30:54And I was, I drove over to my parents house yesterday and I
- 30:59was on the highway and as I'm driving, I thought, why is this
- 31:02car next to me like just hovering right next to the car?
- 31:07And I and I looked over, I glanced over to see and that
- 31:11there's the lady with her phone up videotaping the duster going
- 31:15down the highway. So yeah, you know, it's, it's,
- 31:19it's, it's, it's a, it's a cool thing.
- 31:21And I guess we never know where this might that might get us,
- 31:24get us to. And maybe we will put it on the.
- 31:27Far Dart museum that we'll create someday.
- 31:30Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 31:32You're right. No, I'd, well, I know.
- 31:33Then we came down, I brought them down into the basement.
- 31:35I was showing them all the stuff, great things that that I
- 31:39have from UFD, like I mean like DJ Litmus and I don't show it
- 31:44off. They gave me sent me this really
- 31:46cool custom like wrestling champion belt with UFD on it.
- 31:50I mean, just some cool things, flags, you name it, everything
- 31:53else and and our neighbors like, what are you going to do with
- 31:56all that stuff? And I said, well, I like it.
- 31:58I love having it around. I mean, I got one up right
- 32:00there. That was the we were the mean
- 32:02coin of the year award right there.
- 32:04I don't know if I can move out of the way.
- 32:06It's on a it's really cool that somebody sent us and I thought,
- 32:10I'm like, I don't know. And then it dawned on me.
- 32:12I thought, well, we can have it in the museum.
- 32:14Like I've got like enough stuff to fill up a UFD museum at this
- 32:17point that everybody can come and you know, it'd be fun.
- 32:21I do, I do. I I do think it would be cool at
- 32:23some point if we had a play. Like a place definitely worth
- 32:27it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 32:29Yeah, exactly. What about Instagram?
- 32:34You're you're active on Instagram.
- 32:37How's that going, Connector? And I know you're working very
- 32:39hard and on behalf of the whole community, thank you for
- 32:41everything you're doing with our Instagram presence.
- 32:45Yeah, actually. What you were saying before that
- 32:49we have a dusters from all around the world.
- 32:52I can see it on the Instagram information and data that we
- 32:56that I collect from the platform.
- 32:58And I have seen that we have the visitors and dusters from some
- 33:03small cities, villages that I didn't know that they even
- 33:07existed. So I think we are everywhere
- 33:09exactly as you said, and in every country.
- 33:13And then in every small village you have someone that maybe he's
- 33:17dusted or maybe he's a buttercut, but he's, he's
- 33:20watching. And I think Instagram is a good
- 33:25way of showing the Unicorn to to the world and maybe people that
- 33:31they're liking our posts and are following our page.
- 33:35Maybe they can also already share some posts.
- 33:37It will help the algorithm. Of course, it's not as popular
- 33:41as X and on the web 3 because people they on Instagram,
- 33:47they're using their real names and identity and some some of
- 33:51them they are too lazy to create another one or they if they
- 33:55don't want to expose into who's following what and who's liking
- 33:58what. But we're doing our best.
- 34:01We're everywhere, as as you know and everybody social media and
- 34:08it's a small piece of the puzzle.
- 34:10Every piece it's it helps to create the perfect puzzle.
- 34:15You know you. I'm going.
- 34:17To I want to interject because as you were talking about
- 34:20Instagram and how it's worldwide and I know what we're doing on
- 34:24the X platform, which is worldwide.
- 34:27One of our community members brought up and and I think this
- 34:30is super exciting because it really positions our project
- 34:34king cost. I think it was him sent me
- 34:36something at one point about this.
- 34:38It's called the marketing rule of seven, which means that most
- 34:42people in the market, well, it's generally accepted in the
- 34:46advertising and marketing world that most people need to have
- 34:50like seven impressions of something.
- 34:52Like they need to see it 7 times before they'll actually make a
- 34:57decision about something before they'll take some type of
- 34:59action. So as I think about like what
- 35:01we've done over the last year, I can verify this it.
- 35:04Happened to me and with my wife. She showed me 7 times before we
- 35:07end up dating so yeah I thought it was.
- 35:11I thought it was love at first sight.
- 35:13Connector when she saw you. Yeah, but I think it was.
- 35:16Seven times we had to meet before we actually started team
- 35:19dating. Yeah.
- 35:19So yeah, yeah, I think with Susie it.
- 35:23Took like 17 before she before she would take me on.
- 35:30But I mean, we're doing it right.
- 35:31Like we are like during this, during this crazy time in meme
- 35:36coins and crypt over the last year, we have showed up and
- 35:39steadily continued to, to, to, to, to introduce millions of
- 35:45people to Unicorn fart dust on Instagram, on YouTube, on
- 35:50TikTok, on, on X, on, you know, all these different platforms.
- 35:55And, and that eventually that will, you know, and if you think
- 35:59about what, what I think you and I agree on and that there's
- 36:02going to be some pretty massive changes in crypto in the coming
- 36:07years, but also some pretty massive new adoption of crypto
- 36:11with more and more people coming in.
- 36:14And at the same time, our, our community of like diamond hoove
- 36:18dusters, the data that Vincent puts out about, you know, the
- 36:21top 250 wallets and the percentage of beans that they
- 36:25own, which is always over 60%. And, and, and the number, the
- 36:30percentage that are diamond hooved held 90 days, 60 days or
- 36:3430 days. That all those things coming
- 36:37together could be like a confluence of like factors that
- 36:42could result in something very exciting for for what we're
- 36:47doing with UFD. Definitely I didn't.
- 36:50I didn't want to be anywhere else to, to pass these difficult
- 36:55times and months. The last months we had very
- 36:59difficult times as you know in crypto space.
- 37:00I didn't want to be anywhere else.
- 37:02But UFDUFD made it easier for every community member that's
- 37:08part of UFD to withstand all the difficulties and all the bad
- 37:13emotions that the markets can and their, their that's their
- 37:17role to make you desperate so that you can sell in a loss.
- 37:23That's how they they get money. So that's how some people win.
- 37:28If you and your friends get become desperate and selling
- 37:32loss, it's the market, how the market works.
- 37:37So in UFD, we'll, we'll have each other.
- 37:41I know how a lot of people, they've DM me in the past and
- 37:44they were anxious and stressed and you know, you calm, calm
- 37:49them down and they understand that it's a phase of the
- 37:52markets. It's not about our projects.
- 37:55And this is not something that you can find in any projects.
- 38:00People are getting desperate and you know them, especially some
- 38:04people they are, they have over invested and it's more difficult
- 38:08for them, especially if they're, if some people they suffer from
- 38:12loneliness and all this together is a very bad mixture.
- 38:17If you don't have someone to, to hold your to, to, to hold your
- 38:22hand or to cut your back, it's very difficult.
- 38:26And I think we're doing fine because all these months here,
- 38:31we have changed the way of thinking into, into doing good
- 38:36things for society and for group of people, as you know.
- 38:41And it helps the time pass faster.
- 38:44And always when the tide shifts and the good times returns, you
- 38:49look back and you know who was there for you.
- 38:52And I know some people there, I don't want to mention that they
- 38:55help people in need in UFD because some of them, they were
- 38:59struggling also financially. And I know some people they have
- 39:02donated and they have loaned them, they have helped them,
- 39:05they have visited their, their companies to support.
- 39:09So it's a club. We are in a very special club.
- 39:13And it will get. It will become even better and
- 39:17and and real. Friendships, right?
- 39:19You use real friendships. Yeah, you used a lot of.
- 39:21Words to describe what I think are in great words, but also
- 39:26that like real, real, like legitimate friendships.
- 39:30And you know, I was these neighbors I was talking to this
- 39:32night. They're like, well, what's the
- 39:33difference between Web 2 and Web 3?
- 39:35And I tried to explain kind of how I understand it at the depth
- 39:39of relationships, But maybe that's a, that's a another great
- 39:43way to describe it. Like real, like real friendships
- 39:47are, are, are formed and bonded and real communities are created
- 39:52through this. And yeah, when the market's
- 39:55tough like it's been, I mean, that's just it is what it is,
- 39:58right? And people capitulate, people
- 40:00give up, right? That's the time when real, real
- 40:05communities are built, when real projects are built.
- 40:08And whether you're talking and that just doesn't apply to
- 40:11crypto, that applies to companies to.
- 40:14You know, maybe churches, all types countries, right?
- 40:18I mean, even countries, when you look at the history, everybody
- 40:21has gone through these really tough times.
- 40:23And that's when like things are forged when the when, when it's
- 40:28really comes together. And it feels like to me that's
- 40:31what we have going right now with UFD.
- 40:34Yeah. And it's very.
- 40:35Difficult for people outside of crypto to understand this.
- 40:39They don't. They can't believe this actually
- 40:41exists. Friendships through a mean
- 40:44community or something. They think it's like kind of a
- 40:47joke, but unless you experience it, you cannot understand it and
- 40:51you cannot see that is actually truth and stronger than and what
- 40:59people think. Yeah, Yeah.
- 41:01And it's. And it's incredible that it
- 41:03happens across borders. It probably doesn't just cross
- 41:07country borders, but crosses borders of political ideology,
- 41:12religion, everything else. It really is a special
- 41:15situation, right, where people within UFD even set aside things
- 41:20that maybe they don't agree on, but agree that that they want to
- 41:23be part of the project and and help and help further the
- 41:27movement. I think that's a word I've heard
- 41:29you use before that we are that we're doing right now.
- 41:34Yeah, definitely. What I've seen in UFD is that
- 41:39we'll have people from very different political ideologies
- 41:45and religious religions and we have managed to get along so
- 41:51well, like we never have problems due to these
- 41:57differences that we have. And actually, I think it's like
- 42:03that's the power of the community to to focus on the
- 42:06real and important things and keep for yourselves the less
- 42:11significant things like, but you have a belief, but actually
- 42:16doesn't influence your life as a as what you do for a community,
- 42:20as a member, as a as a member. Yeah.
- 42:22And. It's pretty powerful when you
- 42:24think about what, when you, when you think about this connector
- 42:27that, that I believe most people in the world, the vast majority
- 42:32of people in the world are, are good people that just want
- 42:36basically all the same things, a sense of security, friendships,
- 42:39a sense of community, that most people are good.
- 42:43And that what we are kind of moving forward with UFD is this
- 42:47idea that good attracts good. And so it opens us like our,
- 42:52our, it was Emma who, who brought this up probably 10
- 42:56months ago, put out a little report about our total
- 42:59addressable market, meaning like, you know, like we aren't a
- 43:02token that's about, I don't know, tuna fishing or we aren't
- 43:08like super niche like we are really what we're about is this
- 43:12good attracts good thing. So because most people in the
- 43:15world are good, we've got a big market of people that they can
- 43:19become interested. And we've got IP, right?
- 43:21Like you said earlier, what 1 of 15 meme coins with IP that's
- 43:25really cute and fun, but that we have like we we, we we aren't
- 43:31like niching ourselves into some little particular area.
- 43:35We're really open to almost everybody.
- 43:39Yeah. And we.
- 43:40Are only one year old. So it's baby steps.
- 43:44I mean the the perspective and the the roads from here it's
- 43:51endless. You can you can walk, you can
- 43:54walk, you can evolve without a limit.
- 43:59It's limitless. Yeah, it is wild.
- 44:02Hey, I want to show everybody your if they want to follow you,
- 44:06follow Connector on X. This is his ex profile.
- 44:10Let me make sure I'm at the top of the page here.
- 44:12Yep, Connector at connector under score 13 if that's where
- 44:16they go, if they want to follow you Mr. Connector.
- 44:19Yes, yes. That's the one and I can't
- 44:22believe. That we've been talking now for
- 44:24almost 45 minutes, feels like 5 minutes.
- 44:28Is there anything I forgot to ask you or anything else you
- 44:30want to share with the community, with the, with our
- 44:32viewer who's with us right now? No, I think that this interview
- 44:39went very well. We've pumped 20% since we began,
- 44:45and we should do it. Yeah, I'm serious.
- 44:49Yeah, well, we're going to keep going.
- 44:51Connector. Yeah, I think we should.
- 44:54We should do a marathon, it's a Greek word.
- 44:56And maybe we end up in midnight at 20 million market cap, who
- 45:00knows? No, I'm going to hop on a plane.
- 45:04I'll, I'll do a live stream from Look look.
- 45:08I know I've tell to the community I'm going to host the
- 45:11European meet ups in Villa here in Greece after the Bitcoin
- 45:18convention of April. If things turn out as well as
- 45:22I'm expecting, we're going to have a meet up here and we're
- 45:26going to meet here in real life and we're going to have a lot of
- 45:30fun. Yeah, That, that, that.
- 45:32Sounds awesome. Because we've got so many people
- 45:34in Europe, right? And I mean, in Greece is is
- 45:37obviously pretty much more accessible from Europe than it
- 45:42is for the Europeans to come to the United States.
- 45:44So that would be awesome. I just want to make sure
- 45:46everybody heard that right. If things go well.
- 45:49It's something. Yeah, I promise.
- 45:50I promise. It's AI promise I will provide
- 45:53the place and everything and yeah, let's hope it will happen
