Put a bit of thought into picking this time. Almost 2hrs after you start so you're well warmed up and 25mins until the next call so more of a chance to go a couple mins over 😋
Haha thanks for everything you do for this space 👍

Hopefully I'm safe now. Don't think they can still control my computer when I turn it back on.
Please be safe out there, it could've been a dreadful day today
What's similar between
@burningman
and NFTs?
@irishnftgal
takes us back to the earliest form of transacting. Where people associated value from one thing against another. Like any currency, it's all perceived value.

Thank you so much everyone again, so sorry for keeping you waiting, here is the link to the video showing some of my favourite picks and the piece I bought. Would've included/bought it all if I could :P
I'll be doing the Foundation giveaway shortly :)

I mute my screen and there's no video and just waited by the screen and sure enough they started to control my screen, I stopped them when they went on . I have all my valuable NFTs in a cold storage so all good but I just shut down my computer.
@YesTheory
I'm torn because I like the second photo better in general but as a thumb I think the first, it's like 'These guys look confused they're in a sunny climate with London cab' What happened 🤷🏻♂️
I'm going to notify you all very soon :) Finished going through all them and will record a quick video because I'm so grateful to everyone of you :D
Stay tuned
It's crazy to think it's been a year since my last call with

Yup, once they reach 50E, their next goal is 500E just 'because'
Their measuring stick will never be long enough because there is always someone with a bigger and better yacht
Smart goal:
Specific: Join the YouTube Partner Program by August 1st.
Measurable: To join it I need 1000 subs and 4000 hours of watch time. I currently have 104 subs and 17hours of watch time.

He didn't show up for the first call 2days ago and said there was a family emergency so postponed it until today.
He was 1hour late but I was excited to talk with Forbes so I didn't mind. They both didn't have their cameras on. Another guy pretending to be

Forbes are writing an article about BAYC and they want Apes to talk about their experience in the club"
I was a bit surprised they reached out to me but I went along with it and we scheduled a date for the call.

I had to press a button to allow access to record. I didn't think much of it first but at the end he asks me to say something that resembles my ape and he suggests a banana.
I didn't have a banana on hand so he said there is no problem in waiting for me to get one.
Maybe it's the extra Vitamin-D, motivational posts by
@TheDaltonTice
or constant positivity from
@livehiped
but had the urge to say this 😁
Go after that thing you want, you may fail but what if it turns out better than you can imagine.✌️

I talked about my experience in the club from the early days and all the cool things I've experienced.
Red flags were that they didn't have premium Zoom and we had to set up multiple call links and he wanted to record the screen with a separate recorder bot.
Looking for an editor in July for a YouTube series I'm doing in Ireland.
30 videos in 30 days documenting the best attractions, luxury hotels and restaurants along the longest coastal road in the world.
Remote but based in Europe preferred, if you know someone lmk 😁
Gmgm, it's great to have an opportunity to work on my creativity and storytelling using tools that weren't previously available.
I'm constantly mind blown by

I'm not an animator though so I need to focus on the storytelling that mixes digital and the real
