**SPECIAL GUEST!** - HTX Appreciation Day - Unicorn Fart Dust · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

0:01
We know that in meme coins, community is everything and
0:05
nothing compares to the Unicorn fart desk community.
0:08
Today I'm joined by a special guest, one of our key community
0:11
members, Resilient Jack. But we have a major event today,
0:16
an HTX Appreciation day, an HTX raid.
0:20
HTX has been very good to us as a project, organically listing
0:25
us several months ago. But without further ado, I'd
0:28
like to say hello to our good friend Brazilian Jack.
0:31
How are you today? Thank you, Ron.
0:33
I'm good. And you?
0:34
I'm doing great, I'm doing great.
0:36
And I know you've been instrumental in in putting
0:39
together these raids and appreciation days.
0:42
We did one for Moon Pay, which was a huge success.
0:45
We did one for Ledger, which was a huge success.
0:48
And today, Sunday, September 7th, 2025, we're going to go out
0:53
there as a community and make a lot of noise showing our
0:57
appreciation for HTX. Tell me about what's going on.
1:00
Tell me about how you're doing. Let's talk, Jack.
1:02
Yeah, yeah, let's talk. Yeah.
1:04
So, yeah, I'm, I'm doing good, working harder than ever.
1:08
I feel that I'm, I'm more motivated now when the markets
1:11
are bad to to bring harder work. It kind of fuels me.
1:16
So, so I have a lot of fun and so, so yeah, I'm good at the HDX
1:21
raid. Yeah, I can see that we are
1:23
evolving from the first raid event that we had to now details
1:28
adding up all the time. So this week there's also a HDX
1:33
meme competition hosted by Georgie and Scott with great
1:37
prices for everyone making art and doing their own kind of Yeah
1:41
creations for their rent. Yeah.
1:43
And today is the the big red ray day as usual Sundays where we
1:48
scream our lungs empty for HTX. So yeah, go out there, do
1:54
appreciations, make creative posts, make creative art and
1:58
just engage on each other. That's more important than ever,
2:01
I think, because I see the that a lot of people are really
2:05
exhausted. And we talked about this before
2:09
we started, Ron. I mean, many people are tired.
2:12
It's tough to be in a market when it is like this.
2:14
So. So everyone needs a little
2:16
sharing from from, yeah, one another or so.
2:19
So it's important, more important than ever.
2:24
Oh, Ron, I can't hear you. I wonder what happened?
2:26
Hold on. That was my fault.
2:27
I had my mic off. Thank you, Jack.
2:31
The viewers. The viewers may have preferred
2:33
it that way, but but you know, it's critical.
2:37
But you know, the silver lining to what you just talked about,
2:40
it is an exhaust. I mean, the market is exhausted.
2:42
It's not just UFD. It's the entire meme coin
2:45
sector. Everybody's let's just let the
2:47
cat out of the bag. Everybody's saying people are
2:49
exhausted. You know, there's so much that
2:51
goes, but the silver lining is that this is when real
2:55
communities are built. You know, I talked with I had
2:58
Lukanetz from Penn on, it was probably four months ago and we
3:03
were going through a similar period and he pointed this out.
3:05
It made a lot of sense to me. And now from my experience, I
3:09
believe it as well that like these are the times when the
3:13
real communities build, when the real people, when, when real,
3:18
real long term benefits can be accrued.
3:21
So, you know, we'll, we're, we're, we're still here, we're
3:24
still making noise. I got, I talked to some other
3:27
top people on Friday night in the crypto sector and they're
3:30
like, UFD is still like like at the forefront of everybody's
3:35
mind. So doing what we're doing today
3:37
with HTX and, and, and I want to get your opinion on this
3:41
because, you know, not only does this help HTX, which is what we
3:44
want to do, right, show our appreciation, but I think it
3:47
also helps UFD helps us, you know, more people see us as
3:51
well. Yeah, yeah.
3:53
Unfold a little bit more on that one.
3:55
What's your thoughts about how it helps us?
3:57
I have my view and you have your view.
3:59
I think it's kind of similar, but you can start off.
4:02
All right, then I want to hear your view as well.
4:04
I think it, I think it helps build camaraderie.
4:06
I think it's a good thing to be doing OK first and foremost.
4:10
And it's, it's, it's nice. Look, man, one thing I've
4:14
learned over especially the last four or five years when I really
4:17
built up a big social media following was give, give, give.
4:22
And Gary Vinerchuk, who was a famous guy here in the United
4:26
States, a social media guru. He's written books.
4:28
He's everybody knows him. He says that like, go in with a
4:33
attitude of giving and it comes back to you so much more.
4:37
Give away your secrets, give away whatever.
4:40
You know these things and you'll be shocked at what you get back
4:43
in return. I think just from a pure
4:46
technical perspective, it also, you know, when we're out there
4:50
helping promote HTX, we're also getting exposure to other people
4:54
in the market, you know, other people who may or may not be
4:58
familiar with our community, but they're familiar with HTX, they
5:02
follow HTX and they may be like, hey, wow, look at these UFD
5:06
people. They're really cool.
5:08
You know, what are you know, what are they doing and learn?
5:10
So that that's what I think you you have any thoughts?
5:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree on that.
5:15
Yes, they're giving that's what we believe also wrong, right,
5:18
good effects, good. So, so that's what we have the
5:20
practice that we do. Yeah.
5:22
And I think we're going to go down a little bit on the
5:24
details. I think, you know, when we raid,
5:26
we aim a lot on influencers and coups and like people with power
5:31
and and voices in the spaces. But I think no other voices are
5:36
as important as the entities that are like driving the spaces
5:40
like HTX Moon Pay Crack and Ledger, all of those.
5:44
So keeping our relationship with with them good is a solid
5:49
foundation for us. Because you we need friends if
5:52
we're going to make it. You know, most people are here
5:54
came for the money. It's still very interesting for
5:57
for everyone. So even though a lot of people
6:01
found friends and camaraderie and community and stuff like
6:04
that. And if we're going to going to
6:06
make it, it's the shortest going to go where we wanted to go.
6:08
Yeah, we, we need friends to, to help us out along the way and
6:13
kind of our, since we have, since we don't do like paid
6:16
cools and stuff like that, we need to look for something else
6:19
to embrace us. So I think it's very important
6:21
that we look for the, the great names and, and it has turned out
6:25
to be pretty successful. We haven't seen the end of of
6:29
this line yet, so that's funny. Yeah.
6:32
I actually was in discussions with the Internet HDX about
6:36
sponsoring us for for this raid. Unfortunately, I think it was a
6:41
little tight with time for him to manage that with yeah,
6:44
upwards in the hierarchy. But but you know, we're starting
6:47
to have those kind of talks and I think that is that is amazing.
6:51
And I think the more we continue to do this and the more we train
6:55
on our attention machine, so to speak, the more interesting we
6:58
will be as a partner for those other entities.
7:01
Yeah, and, and and and sorry I interrupted you, but you know,
7:04
we say it, we say it all the time.
7:06
Our community is our utility. We are creating value, I believe
7:13
for Moon pay and for Ledger, right.
7:15
Those raids were outstanding. We're going to create value for
7:19
HTX and as we move forward, excuse me and refine these
7:24
processes, we'll create even more and more value and
7:28
companies will want to partner with us.
7:30
You know, I said yesterday, you know, if I were a gaming
7:33
company, an online gaming company, the that made, you
7:36
know, these games that people play.
7:38
I mean, just think about if one of those companies were to
7:41
announce, Oh yeah, we're going to, we're going to buy 10% of
7:44
the UFD coins. I mean, think about the support
7:47
that they would get from. I mean, that's real.
7:50
It can happen. Yeah.
7:51
I mean, yeah, we just need to believe it.
7:53
And I think that I got out, I was in a spaces last night with
7:58
some people from the community and Eddie said something really
8:02
good. She pumped, pointed out
8:04
something. She was like, thank you, Jack,
8:06
for being here and putting in what you are doing and for being
8:08
so forward striving. I don't remember the word
8:12
exactly. And I think we need to pulse
8:15
there forward striving and I think many people is walking
8:19
into this winter with like looking at what had worked
8:24
before. But but we all turn the ice
8:28
forward and see what have not been done.
8:30
What can we test? And I think here lies the real
8:33
magic for us. We will differentiate ourselves
8:36
from other meme communities we have.
8:39
We have a really good start, but everyone just need to think what
8:43
haven't been done. And those, and I know so many
8:46
people in the community are sitting on good thoughts, but
8:50
they're not sharing it. They are not making it happen.
8:53
And I really want everyone to just step up and and make it
8:56
happen. So get those up on the table.
8:59
You know I love what you're saying about being forward
9:02
thinking, right? Because we, you know, I don't
9:06
think that we realize the power that this community has.
9:09
And I think it'll be, you know, look, Moon pay was very
9:12
forward-looking. Ledger is very forward-looking
9:15
and partnering with us, sponsoring, you know, me in the,
9:18
in this channel and all that great stuff.
9:20
But there's other companies out there that aren't competitors
9:24
with Ledger and Moon Pay. But I just think I don't know
9:28
that we really truly realize the power that this community has.
9:31
And it's not just the power, but the value that we can create for
9:36
ourselves, but for other organizations, other other
9:39
companies as we as we move forward.
9:42
Yeah, yeah, of course. And also yeah, I just want to
9:45
underline one more thing. It's like it's very important
9:48
that everyone takes a step forward here and and make it
9:51
happen that we form like groups and constellations, you know,
9:56
team up with someone to get something going, team up with
9:59
three people, you know, and get your ID rolling, you know,
10:02
because I think many people are leaning on you, Ron, or leaning
10:07
on other people in the community to get stuff done.
10:09
It's like, yeah, but it's important that everyone is like
10:13
bringing something in because yeah, everyone gets exhausted,
10:16
even you, Ron, even me and even Georgie or whoever it is, you
10:19
know? So.
10:21
So yeah, I'm here to support if someone has like a question or
10:25
just an ID or anything like I give my feedback on it no
10:29
problem. You'll get, I say that all the
10:31
time, people will, I get constant emails, people with
10:34
great ideas, great ideas, great ideas, right?
10:37
You should do this. You should do that.
10:39
You should, you know, there and it never ends.
10:41
And and I call that Thunder, OK, Thunder makes a lot of noise and
10:46
blah, blah, blah. But the lightning is where the
10:49
power is and the lightning is taking action and the lightning,
10:52
and then what I tell people is go to the community, see what
10:56
the community thinks. I'm not the king.
10:58
I am not the king of Unicorn fart does.
11:00
I'm not the CEO. OK?
11:02
I do a live stream everyday, but the reality is at this point I'm
11:06
just on the same level as everybody else, right?
11:09
This is a decentralized community.
11:12
If you have an idea, just don't talk about it, right?
11:15
Do something, yeah. And see what kind of feedback
11:18
you get from the community. And usually the first step is
11:21
just that. Go to the community, say here's
11:23
what I think we can do, this is my idea.
11:26
And you'll get all types of feedback.
11:28
And the community as a whole is very, very intelligent, no doubt
11:32
so. I agree with you 100.
11:34
Percent, 100%. You want to watch a fun video,
11:38
Jack? All right, let's let's watch
11:43
Jack's video first. Before I forget, let's do it.
11:48
Here's the man himself this morning put out a nice short
11:51
video. There we go.
11:52
Let me get it up. And here is Jack.
12:01
Today is HTX Appreciation Day and I want to wish everyone a
12:05
great day. Keep on energizing on the
12:07
timelines, make appreciation posts, engage on each other's
12:11
appreciation posts and also come join the rape groups to get good
12:15
posts to engage on. And extra bonus, I spawned a
12:19
general last night that is going to be the raid groups with good
12:23
posts. So add him as a friend.
12:26
Engage with him, he's here to help and to bring strength to
12:29
the raid. OK.
12:31
And hopefully I get a hold of Rome and I get on the line.
12:34
Here you are so OK. Wish everyone a really good day
12:38
and. What's up?
12:42
We love you, Jack. And before I forget, on behalf
12:45
of myself and the entire UFD community, hold on here.
12:49
Get this up. Let's get Jack back on the
12:51
screen. Thank you for everything.
12:53
You're doing OK because you are doing a lot, a lot of heart,
12:57
energy and passion into everything you're doing.
13:00
So thank you. I want to watch another video
13:02
with you though and get your your opinion on this one 'cause
13:04
I think this was just a great example of what people in our
13:08
community are doing everyday. This came from just a guy, he
13:12
says when someone asked me why I pick UFD of all the cryptos meme
13:16
coins in the world. My first thoughts have nothing
13:18
to do with the price. This video is something I've
13:21
been working on to express that and here we go.
13:26
Let's play this. This is really a cool.
13:28
This is a one minute long. What do you think of that?
14:44
What do you think of that, Jack? I love it.
14:47
I saw it last night. Really, really good.
14:50
Yeah. And that's what we what we are
14:51
about, Yes. Doing good and, you know,
14:54
attracting good and this family feeling that we had.
14:57
I really, really love it. You know, you said you're
15:01
grateful for all the things I do, Ron.
15:03
And, you know, what brought all of this out from me was all the
15:07
people here. I said it before.
15:09
I will keep saying it. You know, I wouldn't do this.
15:11
You know, I even got down on my regular work to be able to do
15:16
Unicorn for that stuff, Unicorn for that stuff.
15:21
And that's because of exactly this video that he is showing.
15:23
Like, yeah, I feel like we want to appreciate each other and
15:27
like, yeah, it's a good feeling, good work.
15:29
I mean I had to re, I had to rewatch it because he said he
15:33
was a hopeless. I thought he said drug addict
15:35
but he said rug addict and I. Thought he said.
15:38
Rug addict. Yeah, I know.
15:39
He said rug. Like he got rug.
15:42
Yeah, I know, I know. And you know, and I thought just
15:45
how different this project really is.
15:47
And I'm a firm believer that as we just, you know, we've got
15:51
this core like ultra strong nucleus of community members.
15:56
And then, you know, everybody, like you said earlier, everybody
15:59
goes through their ups and downs.
16:00
Some, you know, people are real involved, they, you know, things
16:03
happen, but we've got this this core that's always there, always
16:08
alive. And that as we move through
16:11
this, like, I think I think that the meme coin sector will evolve
16:15
a lot in the coming 18 months. I don't think that the meme coin
16:18
sector 18 months from now will look anything like it looks
16:22
right now. And I think there'll be some
16:23
very strong players that live and you know, and I say it all
16:27
the time. I won't go on my big rant about
16:30
this, but we are so perfectly aligned with what crypto is
16:33
really meant to be, right? That all this other it's a lot
16:38
of it's noise, a lot of it. Well, a lot of these other you
16:40
know, and I'm not there's some other great projects, right, but
16:43
also there's more noise, there's more BS, there's more short term
16:48
pumps, rugs on in the in the the the the communities that are
16:52
really truly aligned with being just that a community, like you
16:56
said, a family are going to are going to prosper in the end.
17:00
That's what I. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so.
17:01
It's going to, yeah, it's going to hold the for the long run,
17:04
yeah. And we see a lot of pumps and
17:06
dumps all the time. That's so.
17:08
So it's really unique in in that way.
17:10
Yeah. And what you say about
17:11
extortion, I want to talk about that a little bit more.
17:14
And I wrote a post the other day on one of my accounts.
17:18
I do many accounts nowadays. I learned a lot from Ganjan.
17:23
But one of the posts that I did that strike struck me was that,
17:28
you know, all the people that are here right now when the, the
17:31
the sentiment are as as bad as it's been for a long, long time.
17:35
And people are super exhausted that bull market haven't haven't
17:39
turned out the way it was supposed to.
17:41
I, I think people yeah, didn't count on being in for so long as
17:45
as they've been, you know, so the people being here right now,
17:48
you dusters here looking at this video, I want to shout out to
17:52
you for keeping the campfire alive.
17:54
So there is something to come back to for all the dusters that
17:58
that felt that they are needing needing rest.
18:00
No, no shadow on them, Ron, as we talked about, it's OK, you
18:04
need rest. But still, still big mad
18:07
response to everyone being here every day, keeping the fire
18:10
alive, keeping the warmth alive, spreading the good and just, you
18:15
know, passing it between each other.
18:16
I see sometimes I interact with two or three or four people on
18:19
the time, like constantly for hours, you know, So, so you, you
18:24
know who you are. I just want to say I'm so
18:27
grateful that you're here and what you're doing is so
18:29
important. Yeah.
18:31
And I usually talk a lot about raiding.
18:34
We had a space last night. We talked about raiding.
18:37
But Junico Fortas is not only about raiding, of course, all
18:40
the things happening, great art, connections, shout out sharing
18:44
for your private life or whatever.
18:46
It's super important. Just keep the fire alive.
18:49
Keep the fire alive. Yeah, yeah.
18:52
And and it and it, it is very much alive and I believe will
18:55
continue to be alive. You got a few more minutes.
18:58
I want to look at some interesting data.
19:00
That our. Friend and Holland pointed out,
19:03
and maybe you'll have some thoughts about this as well, but
19:05
I think some good news about what's going on in our project
19:09
and he's talking about the narwhals here.
19:11
This is from the Bouillon Duster and here we go.
19:15
OK, he said. UFD.
19:18
We don't call them whales, we call them narwhals.
19:20
They're not just big holders, they're guardians of the
19:23
unicorns. Destiny.
19:25
Diamond Dust. Dust Destiny.
19:28
Here's why their role matters in every depth and in every future
19:32
rise. And here we go.
19:35
Here's a fact. This is interesting.
19:37
The top 250 narwhals hold 60% of the supply of UFD.
19:43
And another fact, 60% of them haven't sold a single coin in
19:48
the past 90 days. I thought that, I mean, you
19:51
know, we've talked about this, this stat before.
19:54
Obviously it moves around a little bit, but you know, I
19:57
don't know Jack, what do you think?
19:58
You think when you hear that the top 250 holders hold 60% of our
20:02
supply, but they haven't sold any coins in 90 days?
20:05
I think that's great. That's bullish.
20:07
Yeah. Yeah.
20:08
That's really good to see and really, yeah.
20:12
Empowering. Yeah.
20:13
Great stats. Yeah, Yep, and and OK.
20:16
During the dips, the narwhal conviction acts like a shock,
20:19
shock absorber. During the rise, limited cell
20:22
pressure means price moves sharper and faster.
20:26
The narwhals give UFD both stability and momentum.
20:31
And there's a there's an AD for Omega XL.
20:37
That doctor, Chris Big C. You're right.
20:40
Yeah. There we go.
20:42
That's me doing my morning stretches.
20:44
Narwhals are more than holders. They are custodians of trust in
20:48
UFD. Their patients inspire
20:49
smallholders. Their choices shape how the
20:52
world sees the Unicorn. And there there's the old.
20:55
I don't know if you know this, Jack, but narwhals are the
20:57
unicorns of the sea. Is what?
20:59
They refer to. When the narwhals sell a little,
21:03
maybe 10% below all time high, that signals doubt Around a
21:07
dollar could be seen a short short term mindset above a
21:11
dollar signals vision, patience and conviction rewarded.
21:15
And here we go. Need help from Hulk to defend
21:18
the rise of the Unicorn. What do you think of that Hulk
21:21
guy? It's crazy.
21:24
Yeah, I made a lot of the bus this last week.
21:26
So yeah, like many people have said, it's me, but it's not me.
21:29
But it's really funny. Yeah, it's funny.
21:32
It's funny. Yeah.
21:35
And the other thing I think of when I hear those statistics is
21:37
the fact that, like, yeah, sure. Like all the meme coins have
21:41
been going through a very difficult period.
21:43
You know, it's just, I mean, you know, Bitcoin, Ethereum have
21:46
done really well, but when the price gets low, I don't know, to
21:50
me, I just, I know that like people are, it gives people a
21:56
chance to get involved with UFD and, and for the narwhals and
22:00
for and for the people that are maybe aren't narwhals but are
22:03
very involved in our community to stack up a lot more UFD beans
22:08
at a very limited price. And I, you know, Jack, I can't
22:11
help but get excited when I, when I know there's only so many
22:15
beans out there, right? Like we're not like.
22:17
We're not like. We're not like Dogecoin, you
22:20
know, I mean, not on all respect to Doge, no doubt about it.
22:24
But you know, look, there's 900 and 990. 9 million beans.
22:32
More. Yeah, it's early here, but I
22:39
need. To.
22:41
Yeah. I mean, you know, I guess I just
22:44
feel like I know that this, that, like that, that and, and
22:48
look, you know, nobody has a crystal ball.
22:50
Nobody knows what absolutely what's going to happen in the
22:52
future. But I do know that if enough of
22:55
the UFD beans get into the hands of diamond hooves, people who
22:59
aren't going to aren't going to sell that aren't trying to make
23:01
a quick flip day by day by day by day by day, more and more of
23:06
the coins get into the hands of people that are going to be here
23:10
for the long term, right? Either they have faith or they
23:14
forget. Some people forget they, you
23:15
know, whatever, however it works out and then eventually, you
23:19
know, the law of supply and demand kicks in.
23:22
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
23:24
So all right, buddy, thank you for coming on.
23:27
Anything more you want to talk about?
23:29
Anything you want to cover before we bid farewell?
23:32
Let me look at my notes, OK? Yeah, go right ahead.
23:36
Yeah. The floor is yours, Jack.
23:40
Yeah, I think we covered most of it.
23:41
Yeah. I just want to cover some of of
23:43
the Vincent's posts there. Vincent, I just want to say
23:47
Vincent is a really good guy. He's here like 24/7 every day.
23:52
He makes a lot of good posts and he makes a lot of intelligent
23:56
posts also opening up his his thoughts and and heads.
23:59
So shout out to him. If you don't follow him, if you
24:02
don't engage with with him, do that.
24:04
He's a really good guy. He's also a Norway lino, so he's
24:09
he knows what he's talking about the regarding money he's been
24:11
around. You can hear that if you start
24:13
talking to him and learn from his experiences.
24:16
So, so, yeah, the bullion duster, he's here even on the
24:20
rainy days, I can tell you that blowing up my notifications
24:24
every day. He's so funny.
24:28
Yeah. So, so he's a great guy.
24:29
I just want to, when I have that said, yeah, he's he's good.
24:33
I, I really appreciate what you said and the fact that you
24:36
brought that up because I agree 100%.
24:38
He puts out really intelligent, well thought out post.
24:43
You know, yesterday he had one out about the, about the game,
24:48
you know, I mean, really high high quality, high quality
24:51
stuff. And he's actually been here in
24:53
the basement. He came through Saint Louis and
24:55
I had him down here live. He's been, he's been here.
24:58
He's part of the the energy in the basement.
25:00
He is a top, top, top, top notch person and a really great, a
25:05
really great member of the UFD community.
25:09
You know that that's the other thing, Jack.
25:11
And then I'll let you talk more. But I'm telling you, I mean,
25:14
like this guy is a professional. He's smart.
25:16
We've got, we've got like a lot of lawyers in our community.
25:21
We've got, I don't know if we have any doctors.
25:23
I bet we do. But anyway, it doesn't matter
25:25
and and you know, and that doesn't make them better than
25:27
anybody else, but we've got, I mean the just the over the, the
25:31
we've, we've got people that remodel kitchens.
25:33
We've got like, but we've got like just these people in this
25:37
community are super high quality.
25:39
And yes, I'm talking to you, right?
25:41
Jack and I are talking, but there's a lot of a third person
25:45
that's in here with us. Everybody out there who's
25:47
watching. You got to realize I've met a
25:49
lot of these people in person and you've met each other.
25:53
Think about like, I don't know, we're not, we're not scummy
25:57
people. You know, I mean, I and, and
25:59
unfortunately there are some, there's scummy people
26:01
everywhere. So I'll, I'll focus on the
26:04
positive. And that is that in this
26:05
community, in the, in this community, no doubt there are
26:10
good quality people, smart people, people with good
26:14
intentions. And I, you know, in the end, I
26:17
believe that wins for us. And I think that's something
26:19
that that is that really does set us apart within the within
26:23
the crypto world and the meme coin world.
26:25
Again, other great people, other great communities, absolutely,
26:29
no doubt about it. But we've got something special
26:32
here at UFD. Yeah, and I have a theory wrong.
26:36
You know, if I look at my statistics for my Resilient Jack
26:39
account, I can see like, who are my followers?
26:42
How old are they? And, and what struck me is that,
26:45
OK, all my followers are, you know, maybe 10/15/20 years older
26:49
than me, the average age. And, and that's, and I think
26:53
that's also what we kind of see within the community that, you
26:56
know, we are kind of mature. You know, people are, you know,
26:59
people know how to treat each other.
27:01
They've been through life. They know what's right, what's
27:04
wrong. There is a lot of great moral
27:06
compasses. And you said something like one
27:10
or two streams ago when I was talking to you that that the
27:12
community is very self correcting when things appears
27:17
problems and, you know, disagreements and stuff like
27:20
that. And I think that is can be led
27:22
to, you know, many mature, really grown up people.
27:25
I don't know if there is the same for other coins also.
27:29
This is only my own measurement. So so that I yeah, and I had
27:34
mostly, you know, convert as followers are followers are fuck
27:37
me in my English followers. Yeah, so.
27:43
So that's my my bro science right there.
27:46
So, so everybody knows it's Jack is joining us from Sweden, I
27:51
hope. You don't mind?
27:52
Me, yeah. And and what?
27:55
The native language in Sweden is Swedish.
27:58
Is that what it is? And I'm in the St.
28:05
Louis, MO right here. I mean, we have people all over
28:08
the world, right? I mean, now we now we're going
28:11
to be on for another few more. We have people all over the
28:14
world, right? Gimmicks has a bunch of people
28:17
in Australia, people all over Europe, people in South America,
28:21
right? Andre are, are the, are the guy
28:24
who's the race car driver that put 5 UFD stickers on his
28:27
McLaren race car. I mean, and then you touched on
28:31
this. It's not that we're all not just
28:33
that we're all over the world, but we appeal to all age groups,
28:37
right? We got a lot of young people.
28:39
We've got, we've got Grandma Duster in Sweden, who's in her.
28:45
Yeah. I mean, you know, that's
28:47
different about us. I want to say something, though,
28:49
that you made me think of when you were talking because I I'll
28:53
ask you this question. I hear it all the time in crypto
28:57
in general, all the the, you know, only 9 percent, 7% of
29:01
people own crypto in the world. And everybody says the same
29:04
thing. We need to get the normies.
29:06
They refer to them as the normies.
29:07
We may refer to them as butter cups.
29:09
What about we need to get the normies into crypto?
29:12
And I'm like, OK, and this goes back to what you said about the
29:15
maturity of our community. Like if you want the normies to
29:19
come into crypto, then maybe you need to act normal, right?
29:23
We need to act normal. You know, if, if, if a normie
29:28
sees you throwing, you know, green colored adult toys onto a
29:34
WNBA basketball, right, they're not really going to be attracted
29:39
to crypto, right? They're, they're, they're,
29:41
they're at a, they're at a professional basketball game
29:43
with their children and people are throwing cucumber shaped
29:47
adult toys onto the basket. I mean come on, act normal if
29:51
you want the normies to come in. Right.
29:53
Exactly. Yeah.
29:54
You want something your own? Yeah.
29:56
So I you, I, you say something like very often we should do it
30:00
classy. When we do it the really do it
30:02
classy, do it classy. And I think we are very classy.
30:04
That's what I feel like everyone is, is keeping it with a certain
30:08
kind of level of style when we do posts and stuff like that.
30:12
That's, that's really cool, actually, yeah.
30:14
People want reliable and safe. And, and, you know, and the
30:18
other thing I want to recognize because I think we probably
30:20
have, you know, people out there right now joining us all over
30:24
the world is that there are a lot of silent dusters as well.
30:28
And, you know, we always encourage people speak up, be
30:31
part of the community. You're always welcome there.
30:34
But I've actually got a picture of a silent duster I was with.
30:37
I went to the roller coaster park last night.
30:39
Hold on. Yeah.
30:41
Let me see if I can get this picture up.
30:43
Yeah, here he is. He even wore his pink shirt.
30:46
Let me get the picture on the screen.
30:49
Here we go. That's Justy.
30:50
That's Dusty. Justy.
30:54
He's a great guy. And he he doesn't even he
30:57
doesn't, he doesn't. He didn't even know how to use.
30:59
XI was trying to show him last night.
31:01
I was showing him DJ Litmus. And hold on.
31:04
Here's another picture of us. Yeah, on the on the roller
31:08
coaster. Watch out so you don't get a
31:12
heart attack there. Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
31:15
Well, you know, Jack, I'm, I'm, I'm 55 years old and I'm in
31:19
crypto and I'm 55 years old and I still like the ride roller
31:22
coaster. So what the heck?
31:23
We got a lot of people out there, right that that are, that
31:27
are supporting our project. Some of them aren't, you know, I
31:30
know a lot of them that followed me from the gold and silver
31:33
sector and they're not on ACT, right?
31:36
They're not even on XI mean they don't even know they don't use
31:39
X, right. They use YouTube, but they don't
31:41
use X. So you know, there's a big, big
31:45
opportunity for us. I mean so many people out there
31:48
and like you said, we'll do it with class and dignity and and
31:51
everything else. Of course, yeah, regarding you
31:55
know, there is this community member that have been stepping
31:58
up lately and that is surely those memes and all those memes
32:04
brought Georgie and Olekorn into Unicorn Fortas from the
32:09
beginning, but didn't take a public position on X but has now
32:15
been coming forward doing amazing art with with dog and
32:19
stuff like that preparing for the events.
32:21
So this is exactly what I was talking about earlier in the
32:25
conversation. People have ideas.
32:28
I know you have ideas. Make them happen, bring them to
32:31
the table and just do you and test them out.
32:34
You know it's going to be so appreciated, but everyone so, so
32:37
don't hide. Come, come.
32:39
Yeah, everybody. I mean, I think, I think people,
32:42
I think it's human nature, right?
32:44
For everybody out there that all the people that are joining us
32:46
not to look at other people and say, oh, I can't do what Jack
32:50
does or I can't do what Ron does or I can't do what this person
32:54
does. And the reality is you can,
32:56
right? Like I'm no better than anybody
32:58
else, period. And I would imagine, you know,
33:01
you would say the same thing about yourself, right?
33:03
I mean, we, we all have these this kind of individual journey.
33:07
But the reality is, right, There's nothing special about
33:11
me. Trust me.
33:13
Susie would gladly attest to that, right?
33:15
I mean. You know.
33:19
That we all have this capability to do way more than we think we
33:24
do. And the fear, it's fear, right?
33:26
It's, it's fear. I mean, trust me, when I first
33:30
started doing live streams, I was scared to death, right?
33:33
What people would think, what people would, you know, I was
33:36
convinced that all my friends and family and I would become
33:39
the laughingstock of the world. And you know what happened?
33:42
The opposite, right? Number one, most people didn't
33:45
care, I don't think. Still, most of my family members
33:48
ever watch. I mean, my mom does.
33:50
Hi, mom. But Jack says hi all the way
33:54
from Sweden, man. But but the reality is people
33:57
don't care. But the other reality is if you
34:00
do something that you feel passionate about, right, people
34:03
in the world do care, right? Because you're able to get out
34:06
there and you are like, it's funny because like all the
34:09
negative things that I was afraid of would happen, right?
34:13
That I would be mocked and whatever never happened.
34:15
But what did happen was that I realized you can bring value to
34:19
people in the world. And, and that's part of our
34:21
proposition with UFD, right? Is, is the, that we do offer,
34:26
like you said earlier, kind of a family environment where people
34:30
are part of something, where people are part of a shared
34:33
mission. People are part of, of the soul
34:36
of what UFD really is. And, you know, the reality is
34:40
sadly, that the professionals say there's a big epidemic of
34:45
loneliness in the world, even though we have all the but a lot
34:48
of people when they're when they're surveyed or when the
34:51
studies are done, the people are lonely.
34:54
And we give people are, you know, a nice place where we set
34:59
politics aside. We set everything, you know, as
35:02
long as you have a good intention to be part of this
35:04
community and to help create value within this community by
35:07
doing that, you're welcome here. And I think that's special.
35:11
I'm rambling, so go ahead. Let's.
35:14
Talk about more about that from For me, it's OK.
35:17
So I'm thinking about those things like on my private and
35:20
also like I see a lot of my friends that are same age as me
35:25
30 plus and you know, they don't get they don't do children.
35:29
That's kind of it's, it's more uncommon to have many children
35:34
than to not have children. So, and that, that I think is
35:37
something that has shifted. And if we look at demographics
35:40
across the world, every developed country, you can see
35:44
that birth is like going down. We are not, we are not giving
35:48
birth to more than I think it depends on the country.
35:51
But in Sweden, I think it's like 1.5 children per man and and
35:57
woman, you know, it should be higher to keep feeling, feeling
36:01
the community up. So, and I, what I think also is
36:04
that when people like take those kind of decisions, they might,
36:08
you know, it's easier when you're young, but it might be
36:10
harder when you're older because you're used to your father, your
36:15
aunt, your mother being around, you know, and then they suddenly
36:18
start to die off. And, you know, I think many
36:21
people end up being more lonely than than they expected.
36:25
And then I think this is where, you know, comfortos comes in
36:28
and, you know, brings that family feeling like somewhere
36:33
where people can go and read and join spaces, do art, have fun,
36:37
loft, you know, have a, some kind of a mission, you know,
36:40
because you know how it is wrong when you're a father or a mother
36:43
or you don't know mother, but you know, father for sure.
36:46
You know, that is a mission. You know, you cannot think of so
36:49
many other things because your, your mission is to raise those
36:52
children, make food, you know, learn them things and and stuff
36:56
like that. So I hope that makes sense, you
36:58
know, But yeah, so that's why I think those digital communities
37:01
is super important. And what I noticed is when I was
37:04
younger myself, you know, my, my mother was always like, Jack,
37:07
you should go out. You're playing the computer.
37:09
Blah. Blah blah blah blah blah.
37:10
Blah, you know, and I was I was playing with my friends, but she
37:12
didn't understand that online with my friends, I have my
37:15
community, you know, and we're staying bragged people and, you
37:21
know, every stuff like that. And I think that transfer, this
37:23
is just another kind of game you can and not another kind of
37:28
game. But, you know, in that kind of
37:30
category of, you know, you're playing games when you were
37:32
younger. Maybe when you get a little
37:34
older, you you go into Unicorn fart dust and you become a
37:36
duster and you engage in this way instead.
37:39
Yeah. Because digital communities are
37:42
real, just like, you know, whether you want to talk about
37:46
the Lions Club, which is a big like fraternal organization,
37:50
any, any big club or anything, just like those are real.
37:54
What we have is real, right? And I think we're really on the
37:57
other thing. And I, and I say this from time
37:59
to time, like, but we have to realize too, that we are on the
38:02
leading edge of that. And sometimes when you're on the
38:05
leading edge of this new frontier, right, it's difficult.
38:10
It's, it's not, you know, we are, we are kind of out there
38:14
blazing a trail. I think Bitcoin gave us a good
38:18
path to follow, but we are still blazing a trail, right?
38:21
And we're blazing a trail very unique to, to, to UFD.
38:25
But these digital communities, this is real, right?
38:28
Like this right now is I'm talking to you and there's all
38:32
there's there's all these other people, 300 people.
38:36
It early in the US, It's super early in California.
38:41
Hi, everybody. Yeah, like, hey, guys, guess
38:43
what? This is real.
38:45
I'm real. What is real?
38:48
Yeah, it's, it's, it's as real as any other organization or
38:52
club or movement that ever, I mean, it would it be like
38:56
saying, is the United States of America real?
38:59
Right. I mean, it's real because people
39:01
believe that, you know, that the boundaries are here and that
39:04
we're part of this country. We don't second guess that.
39:08
We don't second guess, you know, whether the Lions Club is real,
39:12
it's real. Well, we're just as real as the
39:14
Lions Club or anything. I mean, you know, so, but we're
39:18
on the leading edge, right? We're digital and I get it
39:21
because, because my daughters when they were younger would
39:25
play a game called Roblox, which I don't know if your, if your
39:28
kids are into that yet or not. Oh yes, it's like a digital
39:32
world, right? And then it became this.
39:34
They would beg me every week, Daddy, They they have, they have
39:38
money in there called Robux where they could use that to
39:41
buy. And it's like a it's like a
39:43
crypto almost. They could use the digital Robux
39:47
to buy different outfits, different things and games,
39:52
different pets and one game Adopt me.
39:54
It was a real popular game. And I was like, at first I was
39:58
like so mad, like I'm not giving you money every week for you to
40:01
buy this digital stuff. But to them that's real, right?
40:05
That was real, you know, real stuff.
40:08
It's almost like saying and then I'll.
40:10
I'm getting off on a tangent but I think this really relates.
40:13
It's almost like saying like, I'm old enough to remember life
40:16
before e-mail. OK, There was no e-mail when I
40:19
was in my 20s, and now we can't live without e-mail.
40:24
But you know, but it's all but almost be like saying, well,
40:26
email's not real because email's digital, right?
40:29
I want only real, you know, you to send me real paper letters.
40:33
Like the world changed. Like things are digital.
40:35
Digital things have become real in digital communities are real
40:41
as well. And there's real and there's
40:43
real value in that. And I think it circles back to
40:45
what we're doing today with HTX, right?
40:47
Like like we can create our community which is real, can
40:51
create real value for HTX and for our community by getting out
40:56
there and and showing support and showing, creating real
41:00
difference out there in the cyber world.
41:04
Yeah, two things got to me. Now.
41:06
When you said this, you usually say something I don't Maybe I'm
41:10
not rephrasing you exactly correct here.
41:12
All right, your family has utility, right?
41:17
Exactly Well, therefore, why shouldn't UFD have utility?
41:22
And I think that is a strong argument like you can everyone
41:25
can relate to the family having utility for them and and value.
41:29
So, but also, I know many people have testified when I've been in
41:33
spaces and I heard them like writing DMS to me how like
41:37
lonely they were before they were in the UFD.
41:41
So there is a lot of testimonies regarding that.
41:44
And that brings me to #2 we should make like a video with
41:48
people doing testimonies like what what it has meant to be a
41:52
part and like, yeah, really open up if people are are on to that.
41:57
But I think I will leave that pole if someone would like to
42:00
pick it up and make it happen. And I put it on my bucket list
42:04
otherwise, because there's so much going on with the raving
42:06
and so for me right now. But that would be a cool, cool
42:08
thing. Well, you and you know what,
42:10
Georgie, not too long ago ran ran a contest called Duster
42:14
Diaries where people kind of did that as well, right.
42:17
I mean, that's a it's a great, great idea.
42:20
Yeah. What I refer to is like when,
42:22
when people would ask me, people my age, because I'm 55 S my
42:26
contemporaries older, be like, well, how can something that's
42:29
not real, not not physical have any value?
42:33
And then I would ask him that question, like you said, I said,
42:35
well, what's the most valuable thing in your life, right?
42:38
And people would say, you know, my friends, my family, and I'd
42:42
say, well, your family, your relationship, they would talk
42:45
about relationships, right? Is what people would come back
42:48
to. That's the most valuable thing
42:49
in their life, their relationship with my
42:53
relationship with you, right? Anybody out there, I would ask
42:57
you that question, what's the most?
42:58
And everybody usually comes back to a relationship and I'm like,
43:01
well, that's what we have. That's what we are, you know.
43:05
That's it. It's the exactly That's what
43:10
matters in them. That's really what what matters,
43:13
yeah. And I think you know, friends,
43:14
they they come and go, you know, through large yeah, you have
43:18
friends, but family is always there, you know, so yeah, you're
43:21
getting good relationships and and then some friends became
43:24
become family also for many people.
43:27
So. So.
43:28
Yeah, there was a there was a famous.
43:29
I'll end with this and then if you have anything further you
43:32
want to say because it's been always great talking to you,
43:34
Jack. But when I was when I probably
43:38
30 years ago, there was a famous baseball announcer in Saint
43:41
Louis named Jack Buck. He was a great guy and he was
43:44
always on the radio and they, but he wouldn't just do
43:46
baseball. He would, they would interview
43:47
him and he would cry every once in a while.
43:50
He's very emotional, but a great guy, loved.
43:53
And he said this once, he said there's three types of friends
43:56
in the in your life. There's friends you have for a
43:59
reason, There's friends you have for a season and there's friends
44:03
you have like for life, like, you know, like reason, maybe
44:06
some because of, of, of, of an initiative at work, whatever a
44:10
season for certain period and then and friends for life.
44:12
And you know, day by day, I think we're, we're, we're, we're
44:17
moving along that trajectory with UFD and I think we'll
44:20
continue to do it. Yeah, yeah, that's, that's very
44:24
well said. And that's like maybe how UFC
44:26
works. You know, people come in, they
44:28
they get engaged with different kind of people.
44:31
They find more connections here, less connection there, you know,
44:35
like a pool of, you know, creating friends for different
44:39
reasons. Yeah.
44:41
And there's drama like a family. There's drama that's part of
44:47
caring. Like the only reason there's
44:50
drama, the only reason humans get mad, mad about something is
44:55
because they care and, and, and because we're a family and
44:58
people care. It's a, you know, I, I don't
45:01
like drama. I hate drama.
45:03
But you got, you got to accept the fact that in any family, in
45:07
any, any group, there's going if people care, if nobody cared
45:12
about UFD, there'd be no drama. The only way to get rid of drama
45:15
is for there to be no. Does that make sense?
45:18
Like, yeah, yeah, it makes sense because it means something.
45:20
That's what people, yeah, yeah, a little deep feelings regarding
45:24
it, positive or or negative, Yeah, yeah.
45:26
Yeah. That's why solving solving
45:29
those. Yes and yeah, like, like, you
45:32
know, like, like her and I, every once in a while we'll get
45:35
into arguments or we'll have drama in our relationship
45:38
because we because we care about each other, right.
45:42
I mean, if I didn't care about her, I would never get mad.
45:45
I'd be like, yeah, whatever, you know?
45:47
