Hey everybody. It is Tuesday, May 11th, 2021. And it is four o'clock at least my time. So that means it's time for the monster. Remember, show our show about all things splinter lands, but especially focused on. No prices and markets and all that kind of stuff. But, you know, we, we hit some updates and we have a few people joining us in the live audience.
[00:01:03] Morton trickle in over the first few minutes. I'm your host, Neal whale of splinter lands partner with Gerber on deck one Oh one, deck four Oh four, a deck one-on-one is our It was our card buying service, where you send the card to DEC one Oh one, it sends you back 101% of its DEC value instantly into your have mentioned wallet you know, typically cards that are going forward 10% or so above, above burden value are good candidates for that.
[00:01:30] A lot of rewards cards, that kind of thing. I in deck four, a four is our account splitting service or account management service, depending on how you want to run it. You know, we cannot find a player for you or we can play you automated. And then you know, you could get the you know, your share of the DEC winning as well as the DEC value of, of cards.
[00:01:50] So that's, that's how those things work. But yeah, we are, we are live in discord. We're live on MSP waves.com. We're live on feta. We're live on what am I forgetting VIM? That's the one. Those are the three links where you can watch the actual stream. You know, I do use the. The video. And if you're watching the YouTube, the YouTube replay or for listening on one of the podcast networks, then you don't come and join the live show.
[00:02:17] It's way more fun. Speaking of which I should retweet, you know, MSP waves automatically tweets out these reminders saying, come join for every show. And, you know, as, as the host of my own show, Should probably support that effort. Look at a few people in the house. We got knowledge, we got Korean, we got Fox Paul run on our producer, extraordinary Yetta, one of our illustrious founders and El gecko.
[00:02:44]You can't go, I don't even know if you placement or Lancer, but I appreciate your support by you know, it's always good to have more people, more people having fun. But yeah, if you're listening to one of the replays, then, you know, come on. It's it's way more fun. W was it MSP waves.com/discord is that's the redirect link.
[00:03:00] It'll take you to the right place. It's always a, it's always a good time. So a few things have happened in the past week. In the world of splitter lands and we're going to hit some of those, I mean, some gold foil press. We have an airdrop the announcement of the airdrop and the airdrop itself happened all within the last few days.
[00:03:17]Since my last show, because packs are flying off the shelves. Which is, you know, great for great, for all things, spinner lands there's an AMA and other two things I wanted to hit from the AMA that were of special interest to me. So we'll, we'll touch on those. We'll, we'll look at the market values of cards and DEC and all that kind of stuff.
[00:03:37] So, yeah, let's jump into it. First off, I just wanted to go through the gold foil press or real quick. This is the, the newsletter, I guess Number one number one headlines, splinter lands. Untamed is nearing the end. That sounds ominous. And you have a saying, he thinks lands is, can be sold out sooner rather than later.
[00:03:57] I have a prediction about that, which we'll get into so. There are just over 300,000 booster packs remaining. And that is no less than 300,000 because we hit the airdrop. And it's talking about the lobster Domus air travel. I know it's a great name, lobster dominance. We'll get into, we'll get into the lobster Glogster man here in a little bit we got a lot cards for your safety.
[00:04:19] So this is in response to some of the some of the hacks that have happened, where people have gotten their, their passwords you know, fished or whatever it was where you can, you can lock cards from one to 30 days. And I didn't want to, I was playing around with that earlier, and I just want it to look through the process of how to do it because some people were complaining about multiple cards.
[00:04:42] So if you're on your cards and you use the filter, For for, for your own cards, you can, you can click into any of them. So like here's my nectar queen and you can see here, you can just click the box to check all. And then there's a little lock icon that, that, that you know, it gets highlighted or it gets colored in, you know, when you have cards selected and then you click that and then you can lock for however many days you want from one to 30.
[00:05:12] So the great thing about this is that, you know, if the cards are locked, you. You know, we can't transfer them. So locking cards means that these cards will not be able to be transferred, burned, or listed for sale in the market until they're unlocked, locked cars may still be used in battles or delegated slash rented out as normal.
[00:05:29] You may specify the number of days that these cards will take to unlock from the time the unlock transmit transaction is submitted below and. This feature is intended to be used on cars. You did not plan to transfer, sell, and want to protect in the event that your private account keys are hacked or stolen.
[00:05:46] So okay. So the days is actually from when you, so you can lock for an indeterminate amount of time, did you press unlock? And from that point, then it's one to 30 days. So it's a, it's a break check, I guess, on, on all transfers and things. So that's that's interesting. So, you know, That I like the idea of people were working, complaining that, you know, you can't do it on multiple cards, so you can do it within one type of card.
[00:06:15] So like you just saw my doctor Queenie. I can select both of these and I can lock them both. No problem. But you can't do it like nectar queen and and whatever other accounts I have in here. The flame monkey, I can't do that. At the same time. So hopefully the guys over at peak or at monster market, or what have, you will develop that, that functionality or splint techs.
[00:06:34]You know, but I think, I think it's a good, it's a decent step. So I still prefer my security setup where I have, I have a whole separate account though. Well, it's my cards. And then the delegates over to my playing accounts. And you know, that. That account does not share keys with, you know with the exception of peak monsters.
[00:06:51] And if people offer schools rogue I'm asking hopefully, hopefully that will what happened. I don't even know if they would have the ability to do anything, but still you know, I do have like delegation permission set up through them and things like that. But yeah, that's, that's how I have my setup and, you know, My setup, predates the change where you need an active keys to transfer things and obviously predates this latest security upgrade where you can lock cards.
[00:07:17]But you know, I've been, I've been pretty pleased with it. Yeah. Peak monster. Shouldn't be able to do anything other than delegate your cards. Yeah. That's that's what I believe, but, you know, you never know. Let's see another AMA Friday in, in the discord. Yes, that is that is the case. Splitter, Lance turns three hard to believe, you know, it's it's so 2018, I guess, was the launch.
[00:07:39]Just amazing how the time has flown. And then there's, Digicom three, which is on May 22nd and May 22nd is what that's a Saturday. The hot news stood on this crypto conference event held every two months at our digital gamified events space powered by gamer job, hanging out with good friends for elbows with industry leaders, listen to informative talks from cutting edge companies, or just play around in the space to earn awesome NFT achievement badges on wax.
[00:08:04] So that's new. There's something for everyone at DigiCon and the event is free to attend. All right. Not too shabby. So I went to the first DigiCon. For, I hung out for awhile. Did the auction, all right, hung out in the auction and listened to a couple of talks. Did you come to, I just kind of popped in and popped out I had something going on.
[00:08:22] You remember what? But yeah, I mean, it's generally a fun time. So worth checking out, updated roadmap updated as of end of April. You know, everybody likes roadmaps security review and updates. So obviously we've gotten some of those Q2 2021 Guild rolls V2, a Q2 2021. So bill brawls, V1 is live.
[00:08:42]And we'll, we might check in on the status of those new card delegation of rental system. Looking forward to that Pretoria map release and lands claim redemption Q2 2021. So that's obviously a biggie major new thing we haven't announced yet. It's been pushed back to Q2 slash Q3 and land expansion release Q4.
[00:09:01] Okay. So might as well take that migrate over to last week's a Bay. So. So in, in the AMA, you know, Yaba, Nagra, they, they host their, their AMA every week. And you know, they rotate the times around a bit so that people in different parts of the world can attend. So I T I tuned in last week and the two things really struck me.
[00:09:25]So one was the I think accurate said like 51. On average in April 51, some are spelled books sold per day, which is fantastic. And that's, you know, that's a nice rate and I was looking at the at the, at the all users transacting on the, on the chain or on, on the game site. And hopefully this is correct.
[00:09:52]Let's see, let's do three. Okay. Users just want all playing. So I don't know if if this is exactly matching up with that. I don't know if each of those, some are spelled books purchases are actually playing every, you know, on these days. I'm my own guilt. I could be my own guilt, but no, I'm in the mortal God which is the best Guild.
[00:10:18] So, you know, I'm definitely at the bottom of the mortal gods, but I'm in it. So you know, it's I'm not going anywhere basically. That's that's the bottom line. So, you know, all, all, all accounts playing plus transacting, you know, we're seeing nice, nice increases running at about what does that 7,000 a day you can look a lot better than your Guild.
[00:10:42] That's probably true. I can be a bigger fish in a smaller pond, but that's okay. I appreciate the effort in terms of battles. Let's see, let's go back to. What's 2020. How about that? The book, so battles you know, edging up, you know, I would say call that an upward trend, which is good to see.
[00:11:08] Do I want to be the suckiest best person or the best sexiest person? I want to be the psyches best person, actually. I think it's more room to grow, but but yeah, so, so. Lots of people are playing, prices are up which is great. And I actually took a swing at the market cap bought, we got that charts showing the spoon lands market cap is at 14.508 million, which is all time high.
[00:11:33] It's the same number as the max there. And, you know, that's just, that's just great to see. And you know, a lot of that is, you know, New new players coming in. They're buying packs, they're buying cars in secondary markets and it's, it's all good. You know, I, I am, I am, it's a mistake. And I have been, you know, forever that that, you know, as crypto gains mainstream attraction, then, you know, a portion of those people come into splinter wins.
[00:12:03]And I think that is proving to be true. So what I am not as thrilled about is that other games are getting better press basically. So, you know, decentral land is obviously has, has a, you know, like a gray scale trust, which is huge for for that you have to say he's, he bought a whole bunch of GFS this morning, so he doesn't get, keep getting wrecked in the brawls.
[00:12:25]Yeah, so. I thought Badger was silenced in this, in this channel. But anyway so yeah, so those were the two things, or that was, that was one of the things that hit me from the AMA. The other thing that hit me from the AMA was the, the major new thing we haven't announced yet. Q2 Q3 2021. So so.
[00:12:44] Yeah, the dropped a little hint in this past AMA or I forget what the, exactly what the question was, but the, but the answer was that, you know what, this new thing, the announcement that is pending, you know, that the announcement that they have announced, but have not announced when they will announce the announcement it will change everything.
[00:13:02]Basically. So, you know, that leads me to believe that. It's going to be something systemic to splinter lands. And, you know, you have mentioned about hiring some new people. So I CA I kinda think it's it's like funding related or, or, you know, major new partners coming in or something like that, that, you know, that brings in a whole new set of skills and money and all those things you know, to, to fund development and hiring at all.
[00:13:30] What kind of stuff? I don't know if that's true, that's just speculation on my part. But but you know, that is, that is my guess. So we'll see how that all breaks out. We'll see what, when that actually drops you don't, it's been pushed back a couple of times now and now we're saying Q2 Q3. So just, you know, as a reminder, cue QS quarter, right?
[00:13:51] So Q1 is January through March. Q2 is where we are now. April through June. Q3 is July. September, September, July to September to Q4 is October to December. So Q2 Q3 could be as late as September. And so, you know, the way things go with development, everything takes longer and costs twice as much as you expect.
[00:14:14] So I always put it at the end of whatever the projection is. So, you know, I've been saying all along that lands. Oh, you haven't seen it will be announced in Q2 and launched in Q3. Okay. Well Q2 is, is halfway over. So you know, you haven't until the end of June to fulfill on that one. And same thing with the map, you know, so a lot of people there's been a lot of chatter in the land in the land channel on the discord.
[00:14:38] So, you know, people are pretty excited about, about lands. We're excited about the maps and. The where's my splitter man's tab and in the market, the the number of plots left is going down. So that is a good sign that, you know, we're selling out. We're we're, you know, if, if the map launches in, in Q2, so by the end of June, then I think very soon around that time, The plots will sell out.
[00:15:11] That's that's my guess. I also made another speculation that the untamed card, you know, the NTM packs and the plots will sell out within a week of each other because, you know, we've been seeing a lot of you know, a lot of packs going rather quickly. So. When they announced the lobster dominance which was on the sixth, I think five days ago.
[00:15:35] So at that point there were still like there's still 12,000 packs left. It was sold out, you know, those 12,000 sold within a couple of days. And we got the lobster dominance either yesterday or the day before. And I haven't, I haven't used it yet, unfortunately, but But yeah, I mean, stuff is just selling.
[00:15:51] So, I mean, even on the big chart of, of pack sales, we can see that, you know, we have these big spikes from, from big events. But even, even with that, you know, distorting the scale we can see on the right-hand side of the chart, that a lot packs are selling. And if we zoom in there, let's go back to like March let's say March 24.
[00:16:17] 2021. Let's do that. Purchases. It's the one thing I don't like about the site is is it doesn't keep your, you know, like what page you're on. You have to go back to where you are and refilter it, everything. So at this point we're averaging. 2,828 packs a day. Which is just a lot. So Agora road was in the discord.
[00:16:39]I think it was yesterday. And he said that he thinks there'll be sold out by the end of June. And you know, that could be, that could very well be. So if we're selling 3000 3000 a day, And there's 300,000 left remaining. That's a hundred days, right? So that'd be a little over three months. And, you know, towards the end of the things, sales tend to accelerate because people want to start to FOMO.
[00:17:03] They start to want to get in before before everything sells out. And we know that there's going to be a break of some duration between these, the ending of untamed and the beginning of the chaos leaking set. And how much of a break that is, is undetermined. I think at this point, or at least the team has not announced and Fox is getting shade from crim yeah, this drop, this dropped yesterday or the day before.
[00:17:26]And yeah, so it's, it's highly likely that the untamed sells out. Relatively soon relatively meaning, you know, within a month or two. So I don't think we'll go to three months that the current pace is, is setting. And you know, people have been talking about the investment the investment outlook for, for those kinds of things.
[00:17:47] So, I mean, we can go to, we can go to Leo decks and we can see what old sets or something for, to give you an idea. So we've got alpha. So alpha is obviously the alpha set. They do not sell a lot. I mean, there's not a whole lot of volume. But there is so yeah, like on the last sale was actually four 22 and 10 pack sold.
[00:18:13] But but there are folks for a lot. So if you can sell them, then they're worth they're worth a pretty penny. So, so you know, the last one was $54 and, you know, considering those packs were bought for at most $2 and probably a lot less, probably more like a dollar or 60 then that's, that's a pretty good return.
[00:18:36]But again, not very liquid and it took a long time to get there. So same thing with beta. So beta is going for. They're going from a last price sold with 16 bucks, which is nice. Again, these were, these were $2 cards or $2 packs. And you know, that's, if he didn't get into bulk discounts. So, I mean, there is definitely an investment potential and, you know, it's the same thing with everything that's been there, Lancet more users in the future.
[00:19:03] Will, you know, if there are more users, they will. Increased demand for the more limited stuff. So obviously alpha is the most limited then beta and then untamed will be a limited, you know, by comparison for whatever that future state is. We also have, you know, the orbs and the dice dice is still in print.
[00:19:21]But orbs, how much are those going for those going for 11 bucks? The last sale, but again, not, not a whole lot of volume here. So, you know, you know, the, the age old question is, do you take your T do you take your risk on opening the packs and seeing what you get and then selling those cards? You know, if you want to sell or do you sell the packs and so, you know, it's it depends on, on your, on your.
[00:19:49] Out of your faith in the RNG goddess, you know, so for me personally, I have terrible luck with the RNG. I'm always at like, like, like with lobster dullness, I did, it's like slightly better than the minimum guaranteed value. As far as, as far as how many cars they got, but but only just barely and usually I'm right at the minimum.
[00:20:09] And every once in a while I'll get, you know, a gold foil. I didn't get any gold foils of the, of the current Lester dramas or the current drop. So, you know, even with that all said, I still open, I still open the packs because I like the cards. I keep one of each set. So I've got like one alpha, one beta, one orb left.
[00:20:28]But you know, that's just for, I don't know what a sentimental value I think, but, but otherwise I just open everything and then, you know, either delegate the cards or sell them, or, or what have you. And Fox is upset that he doesn't like split the lands and yet it shows announcement or lands, but, okay, that's fine.
[00:20:47]So let's talk about the lobster. So you know, what, what was it one out of 75 packs? Yeah. So The, you know, with the latest tweak to the airdrops, you know, we get the, we get this guaranteed rate. So players will be guaranteed to receive at least one lobster dramas card for every 75 untamed addition booster packs.
[00:21:06] They have purchased. So I had I had four 71 on one account and I had 2,700 on the other account. So I have 31 71 packs purchase of untamed. So divided by 75 that's 42.28. So I was guaranteed a minimum of 42 lobsters and I got 46, which was 46 was a great, so it's, it's perfect to max it out. I didn't have to sell any, I didn't have to buy any, I didn't get any gold foils, but you know, it is, I was pretty happy with that.
[00:21:37] So I got, I got four above the minimum. Guaranteed rate and the card itself, you know, it looks, it looks pretty great. So, you know, it's basically an upgrade to the spine back turtle which is kind of the staple low-level tank for the water splinter, you know, it's if we compare it to, to that instead of format, it's six, man.
[00:21:57]It's got one speed. Lobster has one speed spine back turtle has two speed. At max level I think my is for let me check on that. Let's see spine back spine back turtle. So at max level it has three free melee attack and the lobster has two magic attack. So a little bit weaker there.
[00:22:17] But it has 12 health as opposed to as opposed to seven health and five shield. It's also both have thorns. Lobster Gomez has shield and, and magic reflect, which are big improvements. So for two men and more, I think it's, it's a good, it's a good deal compared to the spine back turtle. So definitely an upgrade, obviously that makes sense since since lobster Domus is a It's an Epic and spinal turtle is a common and yeah, so you haven't made the point magic attack is much stronger than mailing attack.
[00:22:51] That is true. You know, it doesn't miss, unless you have phased you know, going on or also does not affected by shields unless there's, you know, a rule set that says that it is. So, yeah. I, I tend to agree that you know, two magic tech is pretty good compared to three, mainly. Also in in in reverse speed rule sets, obviously lots of journalists will be great having one speed, 12 health, you know, that's, that'll be hard to hit and, you know, reverse becomes out quite a bit.
[00:23:19]So I don't know what the you know, in the rules, since I don't know if there's different probabilities for the different rule sets, but it seems like that one comes up as one of the more often ones or more frequent ones. I don't know yet, but can you, can you tell us that, are there different frequencies for different rule sets?
[00:23:35]Yeah, I'm, I'm a fan of Lobsterdamus. I have not gotten to use them yet because you know, the other day I haven't had any water quests yet. I had a neutral today and yesterday I had sneak, I think and the one before that was sniped, something like that. So let's should, all the rule sets should be equal.
[00:23:50] Okay. Let me just, you know, it's just a Dunning Kruger effect, then, you know, you see things that you want to see basically it's like when you when you are moving to a new place, you suddenly start seeing license plates for that, for that new place same kind of thing. And when new rule sets are released, they are higher frequency for a little time.
[00:24:10] But aside from that, they're the same. Okay. Good to know. Okay. So let's check the market of lobster dominance. It's one of the things I wanted to check. So let's see. Well, this is just an overall Epic, so let's check the untamed epics and see where it falls. Don't just get the regulars. Okay. So zoom out.
[00:24:36] So lots of dramas is on the higher end here. So we got 'em. That's sitting below Metallica headhunter, but above pretty much everything else. And that is, you know, to be expected because you know, when new cards are come out, they have low supply. And so people who want them you know, have to pay up to get them.
[00:24:56] But, you know, as, as supply increases, then the prices usually come down unless there's great utility to a card. So when Taika has been out for a little while, and it's still at the top of the. Of the charts here, as far as untamed epics go. So obviously people like it and that is, is that is all to the good government fire major is still doing reasonably well.
[00:25:18] Well, it's at 67 cents. Only a couple cents below, Lobsterdamus at 70 cents. And yeah, so that's, that is good to see that the airdrops are still holding their values. Pretty well. Pyromaniac does not get any love. I think it's too expensive manner wise. I think that's kind of its issue. And I don't know if it's just me or, you know, just R and G stuff, but personally I have been getting tons of low men and matches over the last week or so.
[00:25:48]And so it's harder to, to play the higher man seminars in higher buying the monsters when you have like a 14 minute set. But I don't know, just seems that way. I've had a cup. I think I've only had one 99 Manoj match in like the past two weeks, something like that. But you know, things come and go, RNG is weird.
[00:26:05]It's un-intuitive despite however, well you think you understand it? So yeah, to be. To be expected, I guess. Let's see, what else did I want to hit? So we talked about lane, we talked about the packs. Don't I have a prediction market going on, double up. I believe I do. Let's see cup finance Bubba dashboard.
[00:26:29] Nope. That's the one I want your markets. There we go. So here it is. So we'll untamed pack sell out from spinner lands.com before September 15th, 2021. Currently 91% of people are saying yes to 12% say no, 12 shares, you know, 91% say yes, 9% say no. So people are betting heavily that on tape we'll sell out before.
[00:26:59] Have a good one, man. Yeah, man. We'll sell out before September, September 15th and this market closes on May 31st. So the way the way double up works. Is that there's there. You create the market. Then there's a first phase where anybody can buy or sell shares or sorry. Anybody can buy shares from the system itself.
[00:27:18] Then that phase closes in this case, the market closes May 31st. And from, from that point to the actual resolution of the market, which in this case would be September 15th. It's a secondary phase where the total pot cannot be, can not grow, but. Individual members in the market can, can trade their shares back and forth.
[00:27:37] So right now I've got 10 shares in the yes. Yeah, I have 10 yeses. So, you know, when this market closes, we will know whatever the expected value of a yes is assuming that remains do you know something that is the one that will win and then you can sell that share for, you know, any amount that a buyer's willing to buy it.
[00:27:57] But You know, it's, it's a way to, like, in this case, you know, Marcus can close May 31st. If things sell out, you know, by, by June 12th, let's say, and I don't want to wait until September 15th for this, for to get paid out. I can maybe sell my yes. Shares for a bit of a day. And a buyer could come in and say, well, I have guaranteed gain of however much.
[00:28:19] And You know, I get, I get a little bit of money earlier. I can go on my Merry way or you know, I can hold until September 15th to get paid at that point. So, you know, double up has a lot of, of interesting dynamics to it. And it's a, it's a fun little time, you know, if you have some pallet in your wallet, it's a it's a fun use.
[00:28:39] So check that one out. If you haven't already, and there's more people are making markets about all kinds of stuff. Will the price of Bitcoin be over 50,000 on July 1st? Yeah, that's that's and if you want, you know I saw an article earlier saying that Bitcoin is going down to 40 go down to 40,000 price of Cub will like be above a $5.
[00:28:59] Well, Joe, Biden's still be president. That's actually my market will, will he still be president on July 4th? You know price of silver price of gold. Floyd, Floyd Mayweather versus Logan, Paul, who will win. So apparently one person bet on Logan, Paul, just probably just for the odds you know, rotten tomato audience score for black widow, all kinds of fun stuff.
[00:29:21]You know, it's a, it's it's a great little platform and, you know, I wish we had better marketing outside of hive, but, you know, For the Hy-Vee ecosystem it's it's doing all right. But but yeah, so I did want to cover a couple news articles that I saw recently. So one was this, this junction just came out yesterday it looks like, so you'd be soft selects blockchain startup for its entrepreneurs lab.
[00:29:45] So Ubisoft has this entrepreneurs, lab and splitter lands was a member of it. Cause you know, they have a new crop every year and. Whoever these new people are. I don't even know. I'll F I am, I'm not sure whether they're doing decentralized cloud services, you know, whatever that means. So the point here is that you know, these guys are getting press and I would split them and stick at that press because you know, the and you know, for, for all I know, coin Telegraph did write an article about spinner lands.
[00:30:15]Way back then, but I don't remember. It certainly wasn't publicized within the splitting runs community. So we definitely need better better marketing, better you know, better buzz generation because you know, small grants has a lot of cool stuff going on, you know, it's, you can, you can export your NFTs from what three different blockchains.
[00:30:36]You can go to wax, you can go to the Ethereum. I mean the theorems obviously unusable because of gas figures, but you could do it. We got the land, this thing going on we've got and then once lands becomes functional, then it's a whole other layer to the economy. You know, there's so much cool about spinner lands that is not getting heard out in the wider world that you know, I, I wish I wish it been a marketing, so Other news that came up was this one.
[00:31:02]This is actually a little bit old, but clay brought this, brought this to mind in one of the pal net channels that it's been 15 years. You know, since or now, now it's been 20 years or 21 years since Metallica sued Napster for file sharing. And you know, it got me thinking a little bit about like, what.
[00:31:23] Like the reason this was a problem was that, you know, there's, well, one intellectual property law is nonsense from any realistic point of view, but also, you know, You know, blockchain fixes this. Right. So I know it's within the crypto community. That's kind of trite to say, but it's really true. So, you know, in the spinner lands, you have these, these playing cards, right?
[00:31:48] How is that different than Hearthstone or magic? The gathering, right. So in, in Hearthstone, do you have an online, you know, battle card kind of game but you own nothing. All right. And you could copy it. And make your own version, but then you are you're, you know, you're running to the same problems with Metallica, Napster, you know, you're, you're infringing on intellectual property, but once you, once you blockchain everything, then the, the rights of ownership and the rights of, of, you know, use are, you know, explicitly defined and, you know, are agreed upon by everybody in the entire world simultaneously.
[00:32:26] So you know, It's it's, it's incredible revolution in, in ownership of things. And, you know, splitting lands is a part of that, which I'm very happy about. And then, you know, tightened with that. We have the news about eBay. I dunno if it came out today or yesterday, but here's a CoinDesk article, for example.
[00:32:46] So eBay is allowing sales of NFTs. And yeah, so I guess today, so eBay is allowing the sale of non fungible tokens and a teaser digital collectibles, such as trading cards, images, video clips on a platform, according to Reuters report comes less than two weeks after CEO. Jamie, something told CNBC that eBay was looking at how to get into NFTs.
[00:33:10] So, you know, why not use that as a marketing channel? Right. You know, Include that you know, obviously I don't know what flipped platform of NFTs they are. They are going to allow, I don't know if it's going to be Ethereum only, or if it's going to be you know, yeah. The forks or how they're going to prove, you know, there's all these, these are all these technical questions about how, how that's all gonna work, you know and how that's going to interface with the eBay system.
[00:33:35] But. With that said, you know, I think it'd be great if, you know, splitter lands when EBA chain. Yeah. I mean, that is, but it is a real thing. So you know, where, where blockchain really, really excels. Yeah. He's in chain of title. So you know, being able to look up records of, you know, when something changed hands from party a to party B.
[00:34:00] Nothing's better than blockchain because it's, you know, at least in a, in a public blockchain, because it's, you know, distributed all throughout the world and everybody can see it in a consensus state at all times. So you know, I think that'll be that'll be pretty cool. And you know, the more profitable and more popular than NFT game men.
[00:34:19] Well, more popular than NFTs. Get more. Popular NFT games will get, and the more popular splinter Lance, we get as a subsection of all of that. But, you know, I think we definitely have some some elbow grease that needs to be spent in terms of, you know, maintaining of market share, you know, within, within the NFT game space.
[00:34:40] So running is going to auction since of the romance car. It's fantastic. Love to see it. So You know, it's, it's you know, it's, it's going mainstream and I want to make sure that Switzerland gets its share of all that. Now obviously, if you look at the, at the at the market cap graph, again, it is getting a share of it.
[00:34:59] You know, we're seeing a huge growth in the spoon and its market cap, but you know, I'm greedy. So, so, you know we, we cannot rest on our laurels. And I want to see that continue and accelerate you know, th the goal, you know, in my mind, you know, you know, from the Ubisoft guys, they, you know, they said the, the starting point of a successful game is 50,000 daily actives.
[00:35:24] And right now we're at seven. So we need to grow at least seven X before we are even starting to become successful. And you know, obviously there are. You know, good monetary incentives to do that. So, you know, I like to take a look at my collection value each week here. Cause it's the only time I look at things and ah, we're at one 86 right now.
[00:35:49] So basically I'm up. Yeah, something like six times on my. On the overall investment there in splitter lands, which is, which sounds pretty good, but compared to crypto as a whole over the last three years, not, not fantastic. Now along the way, I've made plenty of income as well, you know, in terms of DEC and all that kind of stuff.
[00:36:09] So that has something to be said for it, but you know, if we grow another seven times on top of that, that'd be pretty cool. I would be, I'd be pretty excited for a 42 times return. Justin saying entities are going to go real hearts and maybe I hope so. I, I would look forward to it. Yeah. You know, we do know that you know, the sports NFTs have been going have been doing really well.
[00:36:31] Obviously they have a built-in fan base that others don't have. The artwork has been doing well, you know, we had we had disaster girls sell her. And FTE for half a million dollars a couple weeks ago. That was good. You know, I kind of think we'll see a spate of meme NFTs going like, wow, hard luck, Harold, or over overly attached girlfriend or, you know, all those guys.
[00:36:52]I think, I think they could, they could cash in at this point pretty well. Cause you know, it's. It's you know, why not? You know, they're gonna say, you know, they're, they're like, this has been used for all this time, so I hope that they get they get something out of it. Okay. So Ilan has taken doge to the moon.
[00:37:14] Yeah. I saw that. Craziness. Apparently there was a tweet last night that Ilan is going to be, or was, was asking if Tesla should accept doge, you know, it's all, it's all. It's all craziness. Let's let's see where dojo, what did we just do in here? Dude toddler. No, that's not the one I want. I want, yeah, Binance has more history here.
[00:37:35] So, yeah, I mean, despite the drop you know, from SNL doing okay, so this is a long chart. Let's copy and paste. And if we look at it in linear terms a little bit more exaggerated,
[00:37:53] let's still. You know, doing okay. You know, this, the, the Elan SNL was the quintessential buy, the rumor, sell the news kind of event. But still I thought it'd be done like no 90%, but it's only down like 25%. So I think, I think that's actually a win for doge and it's entirely possible that. You know, people's continued to pile in there's a, there's a doge version of doge now called ship, which is which is getting it's only two days worth of history.
[00:38:23]Let's look let's let's look at it on unit swap here. So apparently it's gone from nothing to like $50 billion market cap in the last little while. Just, you know, craziness. So, you know, there are a lot of people who are OGs in the crypto world who are talking about how this is a sign of the top and maybe what I hope, I hope we still have some room left to run.
[00:38:44] I hope that more normies get involved in crypto. I hope more of those normies and gamers find splitter lands and become part of our community. You know, I am seeing, you know, in the discord, I generally. You know, don't pay attention to much, to be honest, but I, I am reading like the lands channel and the deep dives, and there's, there's a bunch of new accounts that are, that are talking to there.
[00:39:07] So I take that as a as a, as a women, you know, so yeah, it's it's, it's crazy times in, in crypto land and, you know, I hope that they continue for at least awhile. And, you know, it's sort of an open question, I think at this point, because. You know, everybody's talking about this cycle being analogous to the the prior cycle and the one before that, as far as, you know, we get the Bitcoin happening, you know, like a year after that, you know, the supply is, is consumed and then prices start to rise exponentially.
[00:39:41] And, you know, we have plan B's stock to flow you know, models. And we talked about that yesterday on texture per show, but but You know, I, I, my gut feeling, and I hate to say this, my gut feeling is that at least for Bitcoin, this time is different. And the reason it's different is because we have these institutional funds coming in and they are just holding, you know?
[00:40:07] So like Tesla, Tesla, having whatever, a billion dollars, a Bitcoin that doesn't really. Affect them so much you know, mass mutual life insurance company has like a hundred million worth of Bitcoin. And so if that goes down in value, yes, obviously they don't like it, but they also potentially at least have a much longer term perspective.
[00:40:29]You know, Michael Saylor. I don't think he's selling anytime soon. You know, he gets his Bitcoin for free. So, you know, why would he sell? It's absolutely insane. The, the kind of deals he's been able to, to create there. But yeah, so I kind of think that, you know, we'll have market volatility, you know, obviously we can get 30% swings, no problem, but like the kind of crypto winter that we had where, you know, things were down.
[00:40:53] 90%, 85% and stayed there for years. I kind of think that won't happen at least for Bitcoin for the other things could Ethereum, I tend to think. No. But but Dodo certainly could. So all that is to say that, that the, that. That funnel of, you know, person gets into cryptocurrency fraction of those go into a crypto gaming fraction of those go into splinter lands.
[00:41:17] I think that remains a force from here on out until we have, you know, complete conversion of the entire global monetary system, which is Yeah, to my mind is, is inevitable, but will take decades. So that's going to depend a little bit on, on how fast and how hard countries push CBD seas. Cause you know, that's just I, I think, I think CBDC is, are seeding their own downfall because.
[00:41:43] You know, if you have, if you have a digital like The Bahamas launched there's digital, I think they call it the sand dollar. If you have a digital dollar on your phone, that's that's from your whatever central bank that you're dealing with, whether it's, you know, the U S or China or Japan, or the ECB w you know, whatever.
[00:42:00]The, the user experience is the same between that and crypto. And if you are. If, if that's the same. And so there's at that point, there's relatively little switching costs for the user. And then you, you have choice of holding, you know, whatever inflationary currency that is losing, purchasing power, you know, they have today, or you do the same kind of thing, but you do it in Bitcoin and that.
[00:42:30] That I mean, it is inflationary, but on a relative scale, it's effectively no inflation compared to compared to central bank currencies. Then why not just hold the thing. That's not going to erode in purchasing power. So so the faster the central banks push out CBD seas, the faster crypto adoption will happen, I think.
[00:42:49]So that that's, that's my. Why come take on it, but you know, like I said, I think the overall conversion will take, you know, decades. I think you know, all the, all the you know, it's like, it's like any societal change, right? Basically the old people have to die. And then the, the, the, of people who grew up with things as normal, they will adopt, you know, it's like same thing happened with any major cultural shift, whether for good or for ill it's, it's been done that way.
[00:43:18] And that's why I think it takes so long because, you know, it's hard to convince people who has spent a lifetime doing things one way to do things another way. And you know, but, but young people are much more malleable and they are. Willing to try those new things and then they start to view them as accepted.
[00:43:35] So we're still in the very early adopter phase. There was a study out by Gemini a couple of days ago a couple weeks ago where they S they estimate that like 14% of Americans hold some form of crypto. And basically that was I think the average was 38 years old, white male was like that accounted for like 70 plus percent of all crypto holdings.
[00:43:57]And so, you know, in order to get all the other people in the country on board, obviously there needs to be further. Adoption. But you know, I don't think that's going to happen, you know, with grandma and grandpa probably aren't going to be in crypto with, with a very, very small exceptions. Like my parents have asked me if I'm in crypto and I've said yes, and I'm doing all these different things.
[00:44:18] And so my mom said that she's going to send me a check to, to start getting her into defy. Cause you know, the types of returns I was talking about were attractive, but. You know, beyond that. I mean, they're not going to be, they're not going to be holding their own keys. They're not going to be creating wallets.
[00:44:35] They're not going to be doing anything directly in crypto. So so things take time, I guess, is, is the, is the bottom line, but. We still need to be getting the word out about splitting lands. We're having the same argument in Leo financing. Cub defy people are, are kind of unhappy with the lack of visible progress, even though tons of stuff is going on in the background.
[00:44:59] So, you know we got to get press releases out. We got to get you know, people talking about spinner lands. We have to do all the marketing stuff in order to get the people coming in. I mean, 50 a day is great. It's certainly more than it was before, but it's, you know, how many days do you need to get to 50,000 users?
[00:45:18]That's that's a thousand days. That's another three years, basically. So I don't want to wait another three years to get to, you know, the beginning of success because you know, this is crypto. We should be, you know, we should be texting. Regularly. So that's just my take on it. We are coming up on the end of the hour, but before we hit there, Oh, Ron Dunn leveled up.
[00:45:40] Oh my God. Right.
[00:45:46] Hopefully you can enjoy my my water there. A hundred liberal, 125. Good Lord, man. That's a lot. So, yeah, but, but before so three years isn't that long it's not ended is in crypto three years is forever. So, you know, Sheba, you know, has gone from nothing to, to number 40 something on the coin market cap in a couple of weeks.
[00:46:11] So it's certainly possible to do To do better. Right. I, you know, to some degree, splinter lands is held back in the sense that it's an actual product, rather than just, you know, hype it's easier to sell things that don't even exist yet in certain ways. Easier to get people to buy into vision rather than actual products.
[00:46:29] Cause actual products have things you might not like about them. You know, it gives you something to point at and say, this should be this other way. And there's certainly no shortage of of people complaining about things. So but, but before we hit the end of the show, I did want to check the DEC value.
[00:46:47] It's been pretty interesting. So we have the Gerber command, the ECU S D. That will spit out that chart right there. And then, you know, as part of, as part of my duties, as you know DEC one-on-one, I track our portfolio values cause everything is, is managed in DEC. And so I actually have a, a daily snapshot.
[00:47:09]Chart going back to whatever dates on this you know, July of 2020, the act two shoes are, are performing pretty well. Yeah, rundown just hates the term splinter shoes, but But, you know, so, you know, inequitable every morning, I, I wake up, I log into my computer, I check the account values, check how much cards had been bought, how much cards have been sold, reallocate things to make sure, you know, our hive engine wallet has enough funds in it, that, all that kind of stuff.
[00:47:36] So as part of that, I am checking the price of DEC. Every day and you know what, I planned it out. I get that chart that you see right there. So it's a little bit smoother than the hive engine chart from Gerbert. And that's because there's really only one value per day. And I'm just this spot checking yet.
[00:47:53] But you can see on the last what do you call it since since March, basically it's been in the range of like 90 or 900 to a thousand splint. Hoochies. So, and you know, so that range has tightened up quite a bit. And you know, the only reason it doesn't go above a thousand is because people start burning and, and start selling.
[00:48:12] So I think that's, that's pretty good. It's not ag Toshi is wrong. It's splint. Toshi is just accept it. It's just, it is what it is. So, you know, things have words and words have meaning, so you have to accept it. We can't just go around redefining things. We're not we're not as PDWS. So so the point is, is that DEC is, is doing well.
[00:48:38]You know, it's supposed to be a stable ish. Store of value in the spindle lands ecosystem. And you know, it serves many functions, right? So you can, you can use it to buy potions. You can use it to buy packs in the future. When when lands launches, then it will be the backbone of the swap in the background of the, of the swaps between the different resources There we go.
[00:49:00] Crim got her reminder. Don't forget to record the show. Excellent. Satoshi's were named after their founders. So ag Toshi is, is more logical. We're not talking about logic. We're talking about, you know, names of things and ag ag named and splint OCI. So that's just how it is. That's our next show.
[00:49:16] We'll wait one minute until after show starts and pink. Excellent. Excellent. So I'm, I'm happy about that. Let's see, we got one. Minute left. Is there anything that I wanted to hit before? Before we come to an end? Let's see, we got the gold foil. We got the lobster Domus. If anybody has played with lobster, Thomas, let me know how it's going.
[00:49:37]I know I'm very curious. I think it'll do pretty well. Let's see, we got the card collection. We got the users, we got the packs, got the market cap. We got lanes. We got I don't know if I actually actually dropped the image, but here's the untamed packs remaining. Kim is very mad. So 290, 4,203 packs remaining.
[00:49:59] And like I said, I think we're, I think we're done with that by end of June. Anyway, that's all the time I have for today. So thank you everybody for joining me in, in live, in the live chat. If you're listening to replay, come on in and join us. It's way more fun to talk to you next week.
