All right, sounds good.

All right, um, I think we can start now. 321 All right, everybody. So this is most of coming from digital. Right now we have will torbett that's coming from the social BS, we're gonna just, you know, give some insight on just web three, how we're trying to connect some of the gaps in this space and kind of where we see things going. But well, but I'll let you take the mic.

Thank you, Melissa, I appreciate you having me here. And scheduling this time. I know you're very busy man. And I am as well. And so I'm glad we were able to connect on this. So just a little bit of background about myself. You know, I'm a Gen X, or I'll date myself there by saying I'm a Gen X er, I've worked the past 28 years 26 have that in corporate America as a business strategist. I feel that that skill set has served me very well as I made my transition into, you know, the blockchain ecosystem and web three. Part of what I'm very excited about is I'm part of a very special web three community called the Social beast. Now, we are a group of just everyday people that came together under one accord, under a singular vision, to bring forth not only adaption into this emerging technology, but also to bring forth effective change. And when I talk about effective change, I'm talking about change this free of bureaucracy change that's free of borders, change that's free of any, you know, current construct in the in the everyday business world. When it comes to financial transactions, and we're doing it with, you know, revolutionary, some would say, type of currency called cryptocurrency. And it's just been a very refreshing journey so far.

So for the people that don't know what is a Dao and kind of what is the purpose? And you know, like, how is it structured?

Yeah, sure. So Dows are a decentralized autonomous organization. I referenced them to cooperatives. So cooperatives in rural America have been very beneficial to those communities. It allows each individual to have a voice, and allows each individual have a say, in the direction of the, of the entity of which they're under. And it allows everybody to participate on an equal level playing field. So that that in it that in its essence is what a doubt is, and the Dow uses blockchain technology, our Dow maybe unique from other doubts in that any proposals. So every member of the Dow, who has an NFT holder has a voice and above. They can put forth a proposal to the Dow that says I want to go do this, and it may cost X amount in submitting that proposal against the Dow. All of the voting for that proposal would be done on the blockchain, where it's fully transparent, it's immutable. You can see how everybody voted. Not that anybody in our data would struck home, anybody out of the doubt they voted a certain way. But you can kind of see it all on the blank blockchain with a being fully transparent.

And just what are some of the causes that you and your Tao are currently tackling? And why these?

Yeah, so I mean, we're a fairly new Dow we just formed recently, over the last couple of months, we're working on building our treasury, we have a governance token, which enables that to be done. So we're really starting from ground zero. Some of the the causes that I've heard just going through the Dow as far as ideas, I mean, right now, it's just brainstorming point, there have not been any formal proposal submitted against the Dow yet, but, um, and let me back up here for a minute because the NF T's themselves social BS University, NF T's have a mechanism built into them with the secondary sales. So every time a B is sold, there is a percentage that comes right off the top, put into a smart contract. Once that accumulates to a certain level, that percentage will be used to go out and purchase cell phones that have internet access. We're going to arm a team to go to impoverished areas, people who are currently not connected to the internet. And this is really going to be a boots on the ground effort. And they're going to physically go to these regions and pass out stuff phones and get people connected to the internet and teach them how to do how to use them. They'll also teach them how to mine cryptocurrency through a cell phone, which is a very revolutionary concept. Not not a lot of opportunity for that at this point in time, but we're going to focus on that opportunity. So that's just one of the initiatives, other ones is just, you know, going to distressed financial regions of the world and empowering them, teaching them about the power of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. So from an educational standpoint, and onboarding more people into this space, that's really where a huge chunk of the effort is going to come from.

That's dope man. Honestly, honestly, that's, that's dope. Um, I wanted, I wanted to talk about more of your community. So I definitely jumped in, I guess, like the morning talk this morning. You know, the group's very, very active, if people don't know the social BS, Twitter space is just always active, right? Like, I mean, you can talk more about it. But you know, sometimes you go 24 hours straight, if not even longer than that day straight, really. So just talk to me more about the community and kind of your presence on Twitter.

Yeah, so we have a very robust presence on Twitter. I think the official crypto underscore swarm account has over eight 1000 followers on it that's just been built out since August. So that's pretty amazing to me. You're right. We're running Twitter spaces. We're running a campaign right now. 24/7, Twitter spaces days on and we're a day 13. We did a similar focus back in January, just to attract people to what we're doing in terms of innovation and collaboration, and how it relates to web three. That being said, we did a 15 day Twitter space marathon who was talked about quite a bit in you know, in all the circles and what we're crafting here with the Dow because we have a lot of talent from diverse backgrounds. And we have a very robust team of knowledgeable people who can speak about those topics as it relates to what three, we are running a 24/7 Twitter space right now, if you go to SBU now, dots face, you can find the link for the active session. We're on day 13. We did a 15 day previously, we have not put an end date on this effort. So we're running 24/7 For To infinity and beyond as they like to say.

I love that. So I'm, obviously for the viewers that are viewing me and we'll had a more in depth conversation about his blockchain, web three, things like that. And, you know, I'll I'll let you speak on some more as to why you chose the blockchain to build on but are you a blockchain Maxi for the particular one you were using? Are you agnostic? How do you kind of see things in terms of where we are now and why you chose the blockchain you chose and in the future as to where we may be maybe 510 years from now?

Sure, yeah. I'm not a maximalist in any area of this except when it comes to onboarding and education. So you can say I'm an onboarding maxel, maximalist one sub sector, we see developing similar in the, in the current construct, what we affectionately refer to as web two, right, that's a space of the internet, everyone's offered a operating in at this point in time, social media allows us to communicate and connect with others in a meaningful way that we haven't before. So that being said, when it comes to that, we're putting forth the notion as kind of like a sub sector of blockchain called, you're familiar Software as a Service. I'm sure most people have heard about that. So we're putting forth the notion called on boarding as a service onboarding as a service. Our focus is on onboarding. It's a service that we can provide as a service for very knowledgeable about one of the other services that the Dow will provide us, we're positioning ourselves as a web three community community management service provider. We are very well versed on what it takes to appropriately manage a community. So those are kind of some of the initiatives we're working on. If I didn't answer your question, fully, just restate the part that I left out and then we'll tackle that.

So why did you choose the blockchain?

Oh, right. Right. So right now we're on the Ethereum blockchain. We chose that blockchain because it's the most common programming language out there for blockchains. It's very easy to find In backend developers full stack developers front end middle. Other so it's very easy to assemble teams, because it is the most common programming language for blockchains. That's why we have chosen the Etherion blockchain at this current point in time. But that's not the only blockchain that we have our eyeballs on, there is a protocol blockchain that is yet to be named. They've been around for about six to seven years. They took a vow and an oath of all principle members to be digitally silent. And they're until they're ready to announce to the world what their blockchain is up all about. My estimation, and the information I have is, we're gonna learn very soon. And when I say sin, I'm talking about in the next, you know, two to three months, what the power and capabilities of that blockchain are. What I can tell you is what's already been published in a previous medium article is the app aspirations of the blockchain is to do the same thing for web three, than Apple has done for the normal application. So essentially, any DAP or decentralized application that's connected to this protocol, blockchain will have very powerful abilities of that application, once it's plugged in the blockchain.

There's no as though I know that's going to bring up some conversation and probably some speculation as to what that blockchain may be. Right? So when it comes to just access to finance, especially for you know, young, young people that might not have as much kinds of access. What is some of your advice that you would give a young founder that's maybe trying to build in this space in just has a lack of capital?

That is a great question. There are, I see it that type. So here's, here's the thing, as a founder, you want to do your research, you want to find the platform that's most equitable to you and what your focus is, I see it all the time and a very credible news source, just to the founders out there that you may want to turn to an answer. It's called decrypt. So it's D, CR, y, PT. This news source, I see all the time articles about various people who have been around the space for a very long time, setting up funds to fund projects. You know, the the social BS Dow won't, it's not really in a position like from a venture capitalist perspective to fund projects. But we can assist once they get launched once they get on the right track and managing their communities. But there are various resources out there, I know FTX has a fund that they're putting together. For web three innovators and collaborators. There's a whole bunch of other resources. So I would just encourage them to go do their research, look at the articles on decrypted, find out what's available and find the right fit for your project. capitalists floating around this face all the time. And they're people that want to invest in other people. And if you have a very solid vision, I think you can attract some pretty easy funding for that.

That was great. Honestly, um, I appreciate this conversation. You know, for those you guys don't that don't know, we'll are talking to him for the first time all of his links will be in the description. Also, the link to the social feeds and Twitter spaces on will if you have any last things to say.

Yeah, I just want to, I just want to re emphasize the point about how momentous this timing is right now on the prep precipice that we are standing right now, in terms of adoption and the rest of the world. Learning about what this technology is the power that they can tap into the effective change that can be brought around the world to not only make the planet itself a better place, but make all of societies across the globe function more efficiently and probably more equitably. We are in a position right now to lay down a foundation so that when the rest of the world, the other 95 percenters that we like to call them come and get to experience what we've experienced. For the time that we've been here. It's just going to be very simplistic for them to see the vision and to be able to adopt in this space. I'm currently working on a system of tools that simplifies the transactional process when it comes from a financial perspective. That's something that's very important to me because Right now the biggest detractor is that it's too complex. It's it's not easy enough, it can't be done in the, in the three mouse click mindset, if you will. I'm working on a system and a tool that I hope to announce later on. And maybe we can connect as that launch gets closer that will assist that process and simplifies it and makes it a three button click to be able to transact from state sponsored currencies, such as fiat currencies, and be able to convert it to cryptocurrency and get into that ecosystem fairly easily.

Oh, yeah, definitely, we will definitely reconnect and you know, bring that out. Thank you. Well, honestly, this was super valuable.

Well, you're welcome. Oh says My Pleasure to meet you in person, as we like to say IRL in real life. And, yeah, this is just the start of a beautiful friendship. We're just getting started here. And there's a long way to go. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And I appreciate you taking the time out of your day and have me on just to talk a little bit about what I'm up to so people can get to know me a little bit better. And I look forward to any future opportunities of connecting we have either here in this platform or in real life.

Absolutely. All right.
