what about a chicago party
oh there is a chicago party somebody should go to
if you're volunteering to join and livestream from there
i would love that that would be amazing i'm still not logged in to i'm lonely if you're wondering why i'm not seeing you in the chat i would love somebody from the chicago party to pop in that would be fantastic it should hit that time perfectly and anywhere else if you're at a party and you want to pop on the stream and say hi from wherever you are just dc me and i will send you the link to do that so do a feel i'll send you the link in just a little bit i'm just super excited about this it's going to be a lot of fun i loved jack's post here jack dotty pizzadao is the most dao out there and i actually wrote an article a blog post on paragraph like almost a year ago now that said pizza dough is the best dough and here's why and you know it's free pizza that's what it's all about so there you go so more on that later and if you are going to be in new york go join adrian at the nyc party it should be a blast and they will definitely have the best pizza in some other news little teaser for you this morning i just dropped our our billboard so this is our billboard for on chain summer so more on this later but this is cast out this is a new show that we're going to be bringing to you starting june 3rd and it is what you think it is so it is broadcaster survivor so the player invitations are going out today starting today although a lot of them have already been we've had chats already and also some more information will drop later this week and this was supposed to be a mint but zuora was not cooperating this morning so later on today this will be in your wallets if you are in our hyper sub so by the way we do have one player with us right now so adrian will be one of the players and i will be i will be serving as jeff jeff roast so there you go so she doesn't know exactly what's going on she knows very little
i can't wait i know nothing i literally know nothing about this and it's we'll have some fun
i've been doing all of this in
the background and i cannot wait to share more with you all but stay tuned and we're gonna be on 5 days a week for june so for this tuesdays thursdays will be dedicated to unchained summer and cast out so there you go in other news excited about this raise it lets us take a long term view to building and growing forecaster over the next years and this was from dan excited to share the news about our recent fundraise so i was a little confused when i saw this because we talked about this like a month ago i was like wait didn't that already happen and then i realized that was probably a leak or an early they weren't actually allowed to talk about it yet at that point so but we kind of already knew this i'm like didn't i already know this so this is a little piece from the release since going permissionless last october forecaster has seen 350,000 paid sign ups and a 50 x increase in network activity there are hundreds of developers building on the protocol and a growing number of apps and frames for people to use today we're announcing a new 150,000,000 fundraise of paradigm with participation from a16zcrypto han usb varian standard crypto and others and by the way board board elon or board as he's known on war cast and say and i am others so shout out board i did see that this will support our work on farcaster for many years to come we're focused on 2 things for the rest of the year growing daily active users and adding developer primitives to the protocol like channels and direct messaging in other words moving them to the protocol level we're also hiring staff level engineers so this was also discussed in unchained by lara shin and so this is interesting was happy to talk to unchained crypto team about the round they're one of the first broadcaster native media outlets so felt appropriate we'll just leave that there
and welcome welcome on chain
to the club welcome welcome
we love all of our cast native media
we we do i didn't realize they were so that's great i believe laura was very very early on war cast if i remember correctly and if i checked her i'm not gonna check her if id but it's like super super low so she was here for she's been here for a minute so this is great this is a great article and i loved what you pointed out here shout out to long termers one thing that's really important to varun and myself is having a long term mindset and we saw this repeated by varun as well romero said we really we feel really excited based on all the growth we're we're using the fundraise to be able to set the company up to actually think about this on a decade long time horizon so back to slow but not really
yeah they're not slow i don't i don't think you could anyone could accuse these
guys of being slow definitely not but i was just but we are but long and i
do like that you know that's that's an important way to think about this especially when you think about the casino versus the computer and that sort of mindset the long term decade view approach is definitely more computer than casino but speaking of the casino
that's so funny to me okay paradigm leads a 150,000,000 farcaster round we are getting that token
okay i freaking love this task so i don't actually know who carbon based is so i don't know if this is a joke it very well could be
it's in reply guys so if you look
yeah it could be a joke but if you look at the replies
yeah yeah
i there a lot of them don't yeah they don't get their jokes a lot of them are not in on the joke so
you were not getting a token just to be clear there's no to good i see you do a big good
yeah we're not getting a token there's there's no token this does not mean token this has never met token
so my favorite thing about this announcement yesterday like it's like okay so one it was leaked a month ago not news yeah officially comes out yesterday so all over you know me
yeah no it's traditional media
yeah yeah well you know and all the pieces he's putting out there
we we we were like we talked about it like literally over a month ago and so did some other farcaster native
but now yeah but now dan and vroom can officially comment on it and talk about it they haven't been able to
comment yeah
they're commenting about it okay so one you get the scale of the investment and yeah my my my favorite thing is there's not one piece of information that was new in terms of there's nothing new about what the goals are there's nothing new about what the approach is there's nothing new about what the plan is for this year there's nothing new about their hiring like there's no news no news nothing has changed and it would be funny if they dropped a token i'm just saying if that was the one thing that like why would that change they've said forever no token no token that's not gonna change no token people don't be here people don't come for the token
don't come for the token you're not gonna find it you'll find it it just won't be from them you'll find it it's just called dgen get over it move on and then this was this is pretty cool to a q and a with farcaster how crypto social media goes from 100,000 users to 1,000,000,000 so just a little deeper dive on the news so go check that out we'll have all these links in the show notes for you and then this this is the other big news for this week decentralizing channels update phase 1 goes live thursday morning pacific time all channels will start in unmoderated priority mode and will be easy to add a moderator on mobile and web i'm not i'm still not a 100% sure what that means i'm a little nervous as to things breaking but we're going to roll with it and we'll see what happens so that'll be happening thursday and there's some also i
i mean listen when you expect things to break and then they break you're okay we're okay with it
yeah exactly and then i guess this is from johnny mac and there you go brace yourself unchained channel subscriptions are coming heads up phase 1 of decentralized channels goes live thursday i'll be migrating memes from the 300 warp $3 channel pass to on chain subscription with hypersub and it will cost 0.0042069 eth per year for the culture existing pass holders will get 1 year free 69% of subscription revenue will go to top casters in the channel thought that was a really interesting approach and johnny has been testing out the hyper sub channel
sort of nft gating if you will through autobod so i've been watching him do that with a special subscription that he set up to test and seems to be working well and then we had this from airstack airstack is launching channel moderation tools on thursday coinciding with fc launch of channel moderation decentralized channels actually we're taking everything airstack and enabling channel hosts to moderate channels with it for free this is a core part of airstack going forward with a robust road map around channel crm and dao ownership so interesting that's very interesting so i have to play around with a couple options here to see how we're gonna moderate channels
and different channels and there's several moderation options now
yeah so maybe we have to
are you sure you can only use 1 so unlike multiple tests multiple hosts it seems like one mod per channel so there's several different options this is a rare case of 0 sum there can only be 1 however we have
multiple channels so i wanna just use different ones for every for different channels and try them out it's funny because most of my channels are very easy like most of the channels that i host it's like there are things i've set up it's it's pretty easy to to deal with the dow channels those are gonna be messy they're gonna be messy i know it it's gonna take a minute it took us forever to get any moderators in the nouns channel like until we got overrun by spam nobody wanted to do it so i we haven't even had the conversation yet and we kinda need to because it's happening like tomorrow
so and we only get a little bit of spam and jam forecaster channels so this is not an invite to come spam us but
yeah no please don't please don't because i will ban you let's do it
i can fix it
don't do it doofy please do not spam our channel or if you do make it funny and then we'll probably show it on the show if you make us laugh we generally don't ban you from the channel so moving on a few other things happening the other big news that's the larger scale is the ethereum etf so if you haven't noticed ethereum's been pumping again we think it's because we started streaming on twitter i think that's the narrative you're welcome that's the reason you're welcome you wanted it you asked for it we did it there we go so it must be because we're talking more on twitter about ethereum that all of a sudden ethereum is pumping right right but actually it's because of the ethereum etfs then the all of a sudden 180 looks like they're actually gonna be approved so still not a done deal but it's looking based on some activity that it is happening and i thought this was really helpful if you wanna learn more about what to expect from the ethereum etfs they did originally publish this this is from matcha and 0x labs they originally published in january and it was just updated and then this was really good from now 40 what do people want to understand about the eth etf situation ama and then he actually launched an etf channel as well and so now 40 if you don't know is on one of the co founders of bitfinex i'm going to say it wrong a so he went through this whole thing with getting the bitcoin etf launched and so it was a very long process years long process so he knows this process intimately and really had some great insights so if you're curious about what is going on what is this all about this these are 2 great resources to start with so we should have more information by the end of the week possibly tomorrow more likely friday in related news and this is related news if you're in the us care about crypto and have 10 minutes calling or emailing your congress person and senators is actually pretty helpful fit 21 would be a huge win for anyone building in crypto and stand with crypto has a great website that will help you learn more about fit or fit 21 which is a new i'm trying to remember exactly what it stands for it's like financial something tech innovation technology for the 21st century something like that and it's really about creating some reasonable regulation and putting some you know finally having something that isn't just enforceable regulation regulation by enforcement in place and it looks like it's going to pass there's been a recent shift by some key folks to a positive signal that they are going to vote yes and are in support of this so that's been a lot of the work that stand with crypto has done that coinbase has done really just pounding the pavement and i think you talked to somebody else we know who was going to be on capitol hill this week
there's people on farcaster in washington dc talking to be like what anyways so i got a ping from our friend david tifung who said he was invited he met his local congressperson who invited him out to dc for a meeting so he's on capitol hill it's like this week
i
am yeah so excited for him to have a voice like i can't think of anyone better to to go and then he's gonna come out on the show when he's back from traveling and talk about his experience
yeah that's fantastic and if you think this doesn't matter and i don't need to and this is for obviously for those in the us it doesn't matter and i don't need to con contact my congressperson this is one of those times when it actually does move the needle it's not that they're gonna be like oh you this person said this but it's more about numbers and they will count how many emails they got about it pro and against all those kinds of things and phone calls so if you go to stanford crypto's website really easy they have everything linked there for you to be able to call or reach out to your congressperson very easily so definitely recommend right here you know send an email and it will bring you to the whole process of finding who your congressperson is
so and then after you've done it talk about it on firecaster and encourage other people to do it and turn it into a meme point and do it for the meme like do it for the meme it might it may be weird you're probably not used to calling your congressperson
but do it and brag about it so little known fact i was an intern on for a senator many many years ago when i was in college so i did go to college in washington dc so i did work for a senator and then later on worked for a lobbyist and started to see both sides of the of the process and then promptly left dc after doing that because i realized the process is it's a lot but anyway take the time if you have the time and and do that we'd love to we'd love to see that go through this week but also there's a lot of this you know new activity new interest new positive framing around this particular legislation we believe has also pushed the has pushed the narrative around the etf as well so i think that's what's been going on we have snacks here i'm gonna bring snacks up to the stage this is snacks hey snacks and you are muted so g m g m g m snacks welcome and you've been already busy this bitcoin pizza day haven't you so what's been going on already tell us about all the things
so i've just been watching the footage stream in from all over asia and australia and then moving across the world i was already cracking up laughing at like 7 am almost i was teary eyed by like 8 am and yeah it's it's i was so excited to show you the map and there it is it's amazing
there it is there it is i got it's my background today yeah the map is amazing to see and so what's the difference between like last year and this year how many more parties do you have what's the total number you're expecting today
okay so we have 214 parties on the map wow yeah and there are more coming online
and we had a 116 last year
wow so that's amazing so almost over a 100 more probably by the end of the day
already over a 100 more
yeah incredible that's incredible i'm i'm so excited to see this and oh we're too fortunate don't get it wrong
we're getting there we're getting hit
yeah you're getting there you're getting close it'll be there it'll definitely be there before the end of
the
day so where's like the most interesting different place or what exciting things have you seen today that you've been wow that was so cool
so japan numazu japan in shizuoka did a twitter space where they were streaming and they had this noggles package that we sent them from modi like the and there were all these kids wearing the noggles and they and it was the cutest most hilarious thing they're all like dancing around the noggles making silly faces and then everyone else was like wearing noggles you know because we sent 10 or even 20 noggles to a lot of these places
oh it was amazing and then so i'm guessing
they're you're talking these ones right the red
yes yes and blue and black so three colors
okay cool
and i feel like i have to get a little taller so everyone can see my moltoveni shirt
i know i have one too i have mine mine from last year on like little piece of
oh i should have worn that i'm wearing new york today
oh nice i love that
that's cool subway yeah but our new york party is gonna be huge it's like the biggest it's like a farcon caster convention the new york party today
i know well that's where adrian's gonna be so she's gonna report in from the new york party i mean and obviously that's where the best pizza is clearly so i mean you can argue otherwise
we have good pizza in new york
he's like you're gonna you're gonna argue for philly aren't you
no no actually my favorite my favorite story my favorite simulation evidence is that the best pizzaiolo in the world the 2 best pizzaiolos in the world are both named pepe
really oh that's funny yeah that's really funny
yeah and where
are they yeah so there's frank pepe in new haven then there's franco pepe in italy
okay so i have heard that new haven pizza is the best pizza i have never had it that might be something maybe i may have to explore that this summer just for the pilgrimage for the heck of it might have to make a pilgrimage finally to pepe might be might be on the list for my summer my summer stop it will be stopped
i don't
i don't even know
so we're in
our we have a chat going in on lonely and when they wanna get her attention they like have it float up so there it was just funny
and something just came up that said lol adrianne's face what what what what am i skeptical about a pizza outside of new york is that what was that the face i don't know
i mean do you have a favorite pizza in new york or outside of new york because you're originally from philly also i don't know if you 2 know that that about each other
we haven't
oh where in philly
born and raised in west philadelphia
oh very nice actually ground
i'm sorry i wasn't i was born in west philadelphia but i wasn't raised that's a that's a fresh prince that was a fresh prince callback i was raised in the northwest sub in like the suburbs northwest of philly
so the new the new york party is gonna be cool but there's a rumor will smith's actually coming to the philly party so we'll see
okay be right back i'm hopping on a train and i won't be there
i don't care about the slap i love will smith i'm from philly okay i'm sorry
yeah we we still stand with will start
yes but
okay i
love alright
sorry may or may not be true the philly party just went crazy that's amazing so where are
you gonna be tonight stacks by the way
i'm gonna be at the philly party yeah it's amazing yeah it's really great our house band the the dallas house band pizza collection are gonna be there live they're just great so that's gonna be awesome and i think we have a 150 rsvps i heard the new york party has almost 300 if not more so you can see you know what's funny you can see it's on chain you can see how many people minted this ticket it's a lot
right oh that's known to mint things though just for minting right like to to actually
it may not show up but but you never know have you my experience with pizza dough parties is that people show up i you do have so much you always have attrition on these things but usually the pizza parties don't have that much attrition i don't know if that's been your experience snacks but that's what i've seen from from going to a few of these so
at the conferences certainly we're getting i think we do like 50 percent sometimes a little lower sometimes a little higher depending upon competition but like what else is happening today
right nothing yeah this is it it's our it's the national holiday international holiday i apologize only one international
it's by the way there isn't another international holiday
that's interesting i hadn't thought about that
not new year's
you're right yep
true christmas true
yeah none of the none of the religious holidays you could consider international global okay alright that's interesting i i think it's the best holiday of the year personally if you've seen my pfp you understand that i do appreciate pizza so i that pfp was chosen the base of the pfp is from rebel society and it was chosen specifically for that reason i was like searching all the pizza traits all the ones of pizza and found the one that was me
i think i know that collection because we did a pizza pfp trait exhibit in our cryptovoxels parcel
oh cool
and i think we had one of those
it's a
cool pizza trait it's like kind of a slim it's just your just the girl it's just
holding it yeah just holding it down here just one slice i also own a rare pizza and it has ants on it so if you're not familiar if you wanna support pizzadao great to support them yeah no it's fine it it i like it that way it's fine so the rare rare pizzas is the collection that is still minting so you can mint a rare pizza and support pizzadao or are there other ways to support what pizzadao is doing besides minting
go to our parties
go to the party eat some pizza
build this whole ecosystem i think the big plan for pizzadao right where we build a global community then we build relationships with local pizzerias all over the world then we go into business with them and buy land together so that they can have self sovereign pizzerias and then we build products and services that are open source for the whole ecosystem which guess what turns out the same software runs every small business
amazing and we're getting so much closer to where crypto can easily be part of that scenario in terms of payments and seeing it get it integrated with stripe for example but also just everything like coinbase commerce is doing slice all these different approaches that i think it's going to be very very soon that it'll be easily integrated and save a lot of small business owners some money too in the process so that's exciting
snacks i love i love that vision i didn't and i didn't realize how ambitious it was and i i think a lot of us can relate to digital property rights it's like kind of something we have in common but i love chris dixon on a podcast recently was kind of explaining digital property rights using the physical you know kind of real estate and physical property rights and and what that is done using the analogy of kind of small businesses and small restaurants that come in don't own their property raise the value of land around them and then can no longer stay in business
and get replaced by crappy businesses
and get replaced by domino's anyway so what that is a the the vision for local pizzerias and helping own buy land together i didn't realize that was pizzadao that's incredible
yeah we're not a front facing consumer brand we are infrastructure we don't wanna compete with pizzeria operators we are on same team
yeah amazing
awesome
and i think that's just a matter of time before that vision starts to come to life i think you're getting really close and i think every year seeing more and more pizzas come up pizza parties come online and people participating and any idea about how many attendees you're expecting today like what is that looking like from rsvps and i know like end result might be a little less but
more than there are cryptopunks
wow amazing i love it so more than 9999
well you're you're counting the burnt one there are more than one there there's more than one that burned i think
i know that's true i was just i'm just going to 9999 because you know
yeah more than 10 k
more than 10 k it's a number
so yes
yeah i love it
i love it so we're gonna we're just about to wrap we are gonna be back tonight 7 pm est and reporting from different parties and i hope maybe you can jump on from philly adrian will be jumping on from new york i think tony hawk is gonna be jumping on from toronto or somewhere in ottawa somewhere in canada and a few other we're gonna have somebody from la i believe so we're gonna have all kinds of folks jumping on and oh hey there's nft thinker nft thinker by the way they're gonna be hosting a twitter space around 1 pm from their party and from what they have going on so there's just gonna be activity all day long there's also if you're by yourself and just hanging out come hang with us tonight 7 o'clock grab a pizza come hang with me i'll just be eating pizza by myself at home oh we might have dinner beach i'm sorry shout out delray beach really quick because we don't wanna leave them out this is an ongoing joke but lil nouns folks will be at delray beach and hopefully they'll be streaming in as well and saying hello but yeah so you can have a pizza party even if you're by yourself just come come hang with us there's also a zoom going on is that open to everybody
i'm in it right now it's zoom.pizzadow.xyz i'm watching the party in colombo sri lanka which by the way the people in sri lanka that organized our party are so incredible they are like telegram wizards they do all the bot design for finance
oh wow
yeah so they they grew their telegram from like 0 to almost 200 members and i think it's been 48 hours and their party is is bumping they're doing talks right now they got a banner up amazing yeah so that's open and yes twitter space
and discord too right discord also so there's lots of places you can hang out in the metaverse if you can't get to a physical party
so you can be and we'll buy you pizza we'll buy you pizza
oh yes alright and that's the pizza faucet so the pizza faucet is open is that what's going on or how is it working today
it is open to this audience if you can't make your local pizza party then nanesh prav is going to vouch for you getting free pizza so if you know nanesh prav and adrian then i know it's big responsibility watch out you gotta vouch for this free pizza potentially in a few in a like a week when we go through these transactions then go to pizza faucet.xyz and yeah buy yourself some pizza we have up to $25 reimbursed by the pizza
amazing amazing and will shout out to nouns as well so nouns staff did support with a prop to help support these pizza parties this year as we did last year and i'm excited for that and oops snacks disappeared he's probably grabbing some goggles what do you think
