Hello everyone this is Adam Meister the BitcoinMeister the disrupt meister
welcome to the sunday bitcoin special today is july the 1st 2018 and i've
already done two shows with craig ship earlier in the day they're gonna be
updated by him real soon or maybe they already are strong hand
long-term thinking in motion baby and yeah
bitcoin is next bitcoin but we're going to talk about all coins today one
Bitcoin equals one bitcoin value your wealth and bitcoin check out the news
section blurred get your treasurer get awesome t-shirts like this but so i've
been in a moat in motion today I was already out at the UH the secret
location near Camp David with with Craig ship recording to videos but speaking of
really being in motion oh my dude oh my god so back in April I was in I was
speaking in Los Angeles and I meet this dude ari looked before oh yeah and he's
telling me about his jalapeno initiative inventive excuse me look at this it was
an initiative it's inventive jalapeno invented which
is linked to below always check out the links below and disrupt meister comm all
my archives shows are there so we're talking and he's telling me he's from
colorado I'm like dude I thank you for coming to this awesome Los Angeles event
but I'm gonna be in Denver in eight days and he said I'll be there too I'll come
to your event so sure enough I'm in Denver we're at the world crypto Network
event andy hoffman vortex we're all talking we're having a blast and there
he is there Ari is he's telling me about jalapeno some more and I'm gonna let him
explain what it's about but it's a I mean for me it's connecting gamers and
cryptocurrency well you need to get these gamers they need to learn how to
use cryptocurrency and then they're gonna get into Bitcoin eventually it is
a great gateway drug what he proposes his unique initiative here so I already
take it away thanks for being on the show
oh thanks Adam yeah so jalapeno inventive just go into that yeah so
we're basically bringing together mobile gamers and crypto utilizing the rewarded
video mechanism as a way to introduce all these mobile gamers to various
altcoins and use it as a mechanism to incentivize people to learn how to use
crypto so I mean there's there's tons of all's out there they all want exposure
and that puts us in a really good position to kind of be a faucet for them
and and yeah be that be that gateway drug for anyone to get into crypto and
in typically so the they also they're gamers they're game producers that want
their games to be played so basically you'll partner them up with alt coins
and people will be paid alt coins to play these games kind of the we've got
to be pretty careful about how we how we reward people with coins but using the
rewarded video is a you know that's a method that we can use so people will
play the games they'll watch the video get their gems or gold whatever and then
we also give them crypto along with that and there's yeah there's some ways that
we can you know we can kind of leverage some of the outgoing communities to push
over users to some of these you know newer games so it's kind of a user
acquisition strategy marketing tool for those game developers exactly so have
you had game developers contact you like I'm gonna be part of this thing we've
talked to a few we haven't really pushed on that campaign right now we're
building out the platform we were getting all our all coins together the
the later stage is actually the SDK that's gonna go into those games we're
waiting just a little bit before we we initiate that sort of that marketing
campaign but we have we've had conversations they're interested in it
and they're just waiting for an SDK to start testing so I I do know that
altcoins obviously want to get together with you I would assume I mean there's
so many all coins out there how else were they gonna stick out and yeah some
of them can afford to give away their their alt coins to to projects like this
so I know you had a vote at one point like where people were recommending all
coins but have all coins come to you and what was that vote all about well so we
started voting in it was actually December late
December we had these two weeks loading windows and so every two weeks one coin
would win and so that that that turned out pretty interesting the first few
months we were just using some Google Forms and then we actually built out
this voting app that's that's on our website now but coins did start to come
to us and submit their coin I think on the last vote there were something like
30 coins that were being voted for and 5800 users came in to register and vote
in those last two weeks so it was a yeah it wasn't it was an interesting
marketing method but they definitely did start to come to us seeing the potential
of you know exposure for their coin through these games I think it's because
most gamers are guys and then I know in crypto currency 95% of the people or
guys yeah they're this isn't this is a gateway drug into crypto kursi so yeah
is there any once they get their hands on these some of these crypto currencies
let's face it they're gonna be like 50 or altcoins you're not gonna be able to
keep them on your trades award there's gonna have to be a lot of education like
you know what a private key is uh paper wallets how do you send it do you have
that worked out I mean this is this is an educational project right it is it's
it's absolutely centered around education we're looking at you know
we're looking at having a very simple minimally capable web Wallis I mean
that's how we start them that's kind of removing that barrier of do you know how
are they gonna deal with their wallets do they know what wallets download are
they gonna have to make a paper well we're not we're taking all that out of
the mix as a temporary solution so start them off with a web wallet that that
that's where they earn their currencies and then we incentivize them to learn
how to use another wallet so they can start using their you know a mobile
wallet or a hardware wallet we teach them about the different wallets that
they can use so that's part of the education process and then we move them
you know have to have them move their currency over to those more capable
wallets but we're really this this intermediary step that is kind of like
training wheels for crypto all right for the gamers out there found that like
button people if you like this and you realize that once these kids get some of
these crazy alt coins they're gonna be like okay I know how to send it I know
how to store it now now what's this big coin thing well I could try
these four Bitcoin exchange now what's your feeling on Bitcoin did you foresee
a lot of the guys that just maybe there'll be some guys already they know
how to use this stuff and I'll just sign up to get the all coins to turn them
into Bitcoin yeah I think there's gonna be some some users that are like that a
lot of people you know just talking to people that haven't got into crypto but
are curious they they there's just so so little that they know and understand yes
they seem Bitcoin on the news they might have heard something at about aetherium
and they might have seen like if they're really like they might have seen
something about you know some alt coins but there's just so little information
on this that using you know using this as an intermediary step is is a great
way to well to teach them about Bitcoin and I I think most people are going to
they're gonna be a little interested in in all of it because there is so much to
learn there and and even looking at how people use currencies now like I use
multiple currencies I mean some bitcoins I'm like coins some it just it has its
different use you know and that's fine I think we're gonna see users sort of you
know uptake in that same sort of same sort of way but obviously the the big
one is Bitcoin and that's the one that's driving the market so that's the one
that everyone's gonna want to be a part of yeah now what what is what's the
schedule here how are things progressing well because this is a big project I
mean you're gonna get companies together they're making video games you're gonna
have to get all coins together you got to have a user interface wallets what's
the progress how many guys you have over there what's your funding like if you
can get into that and what's the Fort Collins area like the terms of
Technology um well yeah we'll start where we are so we were obviously doing
this in stages the first stage was to get all the alt coins so we got our
twelve coins there the next stage is uh pushing out you know an MVP that can
start to distribute those are all coins we're mid development of that right now
it's it's kind of slow because coming back to funding we're all looking for
some more funding but that's that's kind of slowed us down right now I've been
bootstrapping a lot we took a little bit funding in we're revamping some things
to go out to some bigger investors but you know
fundings kind of kind of keeping us at at the rate that we are right now and
we've got yet six people on the team we're looking at adding three more here
in the next month and and yeah here's here's a question here what is the what
twelve coins aren't they so twelve point there
the initial twelve coins have been decided that yes yeah we had we had ten
votes the last vote the tenth vote we actually ended up taking in the the
second and third place winners because they were I they were so passionate
everyone was really trying to win that last vote so we decided to bring in them
them in as honorary coins so sorry what are the twelve coins if you know
actually right here we go got it so so the twelve coins are Elektra Pat
coin strong hands oh yeah there's a strong hands going out there they're
funny HTML coin stipend coin D Bunyan coin BTC
Z flap X which was a came from flappy coin red coin and did you buy oh and
then a New York coin and social send were the two honorary coins that we let
on now remember people Adam is he's mentioning all coins are Adam is not
saying to buy these things in fact remember these all words are we giving
away their good I mean well yes they're earned through video whatever way you
want to say it okay yeah so and it's for newbies to get in if a newbie gets one
of these things and they can figure out how to use it and send it and store it
they're gonna they're going to be learning about cryptocurrency okay and
they are going to get it they're gonna they're gonna eventually learn up I'm
not this in these coins but a lot well they're they're not Bitcoin okay they're
one the Bitcoin is neo is Bitcoin so they're gonna want to turn them into
Bitcoin as some people maybe maybe this will boost some of these 50 öre coins up
the second tier coins I don't know good luck to them they're
obviously really entered the communities obviously know that in order to go from
60 or coin to a second-tier coin you got to start doing stuff
like this you gotta get your name so they're getting their names out there
that's great for them for me this is all about getting guys who play video games
to get cryptocurrency because there are there already they got tech minds
playing video games it's you know you can't do it all day they got a
transition into money making things they gotta transition the finance eventually
it's the perfect combo young guys a lot of energy technically savvy like to look
at computers though felt like cryptocurrency
awesome okay okay so when do you think it'll be fully functional is that that's
hard that's hard that's hard we've kind of you know not hit some of these
deadlines because of funding but we're still pushing we're hoping to have
something out by probably September some some decent scalable beta yeah so we're
looking at September and yeah we'll see how that goes it's been it's been it's
been a roller coaster but that's startup life that's crypto life yeah man
how's the a lot of people out there gonna be see my head I hadn't heard
about this yet so hey Mick he's he's out here in motion right now okay he if you
think this is why you go to events like the ones that I talked about him you go
to Los Angeles you go to Denver now then the next thing you know you're on this
show you're put you're talking it you're talking to a lot of people about it I
want you to get on more shows if anybody else is out there you want to help with
the marketing or whatever you think this is a cool idea check out his Twitter
retweet the stuff go to jalapeno dot IO learn about I mean I really think this
is unique this helps the ecosystem it helps the Cure if their currency
ecosystem is is gonna get more guys into it and then they're gonna think oh yeah
okay and girls like Gaby we talking ninety five get more people into it and
and it will flow into Bitcoin eventually so again you were in Los Angeles but
you're from color you're in Colorado and that's where we really hung out some
more in Colorado but again you're from Fort Collins which is it we I was in
Denver so tell what's the tech scene like in Fort Collins for Collins it's
it's a little more kind of biotech health tech there's some
things happening you know around computer science at CSU the university
here but I mean I'm I'm kind of kind of pushing the tech industry here I helped
start a non-profit last year called launch Naoko and I was really focused on
just you know giving entrepreneurs all the resources they need because this is
I mean this is not a this is not a dense town it's you know it's a it's a great
place to live they've they've got a lot of entrepreneurship a lot of breweries
and I think that's what's kind of that's kind of brought it up in the
entrepreneurial ranks but we're still we're still growing the tech community
here what is the crypt I've seen yet like are
there are there meetups there yeah I run the meetup we've got a couple a few
companies that have come out of here that are crypto base our radar relay
decentralized exchange they came out of Fort Collins there's another one called
Apollo Apollo Dae Apollo Dae is their website there was a company called stow
it that was they were gonna kind of be getting into crypto another company I
don't know if I could mention them right now but we've we've we got a handful of
a crypto companies come out at Fort Collins so vibrant how often do you have
a Bitcoin meetup how I I mean I want people were gonna be watching this for
Colorado be in motion go to the Bitcoin meetup when is it yeah so ours they're
typically the last Monday of the month and we'll have them just once a month
boulders got a lot going on there too they've got a meet up every Wednesday
the etherium or the the boulder blockchain meet up so they alternate
Wednesdays once at Boulder bids and then ones that galvanize there
yeah CSU has a crypto Club so I know the guys that run that so we're trying to
get some cross-pollination there CSU for those it's Colorado State right yeah so
color I mean you've got a unique opportunity in a bit to build a big
crypto scene because that's that's a great resource to have a bunch of young
people they should they should be learning about crypto they're already
playing video games so maybe there's there's a connection right there be in
motion and speaking of being emotion guys remember on July 9th and 10th I'm
gonna be at the Bitcoin rodeo calm in Calgary all the events I'm gonna be at
in July and August or linked below please check them out hope
I'll return to Colorado soon I'll check out Fort Collins I've never been I've
never been up there before uh do you ever get out you know we're talking
crypto here this is a little bit beat I don't know if you've ever heard of it
have you heard about this like the Wyoming initiative
yeah there was a lot of connection between Wyoming and and some of the the
I guess Colorado government blockchain guys Colorado actually took a lot of the
legislation at Wyoming passed and was was pushing it in Colorado state
legislation they didn't quite make it they missed it by one vote but it was it
was extremely promising and and a lot of good results that's why now there's a
12-person kind of a task force that was recently put together of a bunch of
Colorado blockchain entrepreneurs so yeah they're uh they're pushing a lot
here in Wyoming was a big part of that I haven't got to go check out their
ecosystem but I've heard some really good things it's it's pretty big I think
they I think what push this was they initially had banned a lot of things
around crypto and so this was like kind of the backlash response like hey we
need to go the complete other direction and I think they did a good job with it
yeah that that was it they were in the wrong direction and they flipped they
flip the switch like that and so you are not a far Drive fron there's you're
north of Denver so you're not a far drive from the Wyoming border though
people think of Wyoming is this backwoods type of place I mean it's not
far from Denver at all I mean it you can speed up there I'm sure the highways you
know open open road in the beautiful mountain west all right so what else am
i Frank I mean I don't have them any other questions right now but yeah I
mean you've got the floor here to talk about it uh some of the some of the
unique things that you plan to do just go ahead you know talk about education
talk about jalapeno whatever I mean III admire you for being in motion for
coming to both those events and this is is how you get your name out there
people yeah we got a hustle um I mean I kind of want to kind of look at like
what inspired all of this for me and it was it was dogecoin actually dogecoin
was the thing that got me into crypto and and I kind of I looked back at it a
lot and and realized was so important and powerful about it
because they were able to grow their crypto community faster than anyone else
at that time you know in December I think within a couple months they had
twenty thousand people on their subreddit which was just insane and what
they had done they had they had made it fun they had taken this seriousness out
of crypto as a way to let people just jump in and not have to worry about
anything it was a it was just treated like a game I remember seeing the the
reddit Doge tip bot people were just throwing around five thousand coins here
ten thousand I think I donated like a hundred thousand coins to someone at one
point because I was just like like why not you know this it's it's fun money
it's it's not serious and we can just treat it like a game and so there's
there's so much benefit in that context of of games you know be it an actual
video game or just playing around and so that's really that's really where I got
you know a lot of these ideas around taking alt coins and using that as an
introductory to crypto and Bitcoin that you know a fun community that is going
to differentiate some of these coins I mean what other way are they gonna
differentiate themselves ago they're gonna turn themselves into a fun coin
something for fun something people can appreciate and it's it builds the
community so you gotta have a strong community a uniting thing and it's got
to be a happy vibe because we've seen some of these all coins become toxic
communities yeah so you're you're you're a guy that's leaving them in a very
positive direction in motion type it again this is now I'm really glad you
mentioned that how this originated dogecoin I mean
everyone still smiles when they think that oh they just had Doge Caan the
other day and I wish I could have been there but yeah it was like what I mean
one of these coins that you just named who knows they might be the next you
know dogecoin is not the next dogecoin there's gonna be a next dogecoin right
there you go you try to make the next you're trying to help the next dogecoin
out and at the same time Google I hope one of them becomes the next dogecoin
cuz that means they'll have a huge community and then
it'll be a bunch of newbies too and they'll be in the crypto ammo bench
again the Bitcoin so yeah sure and I think there's gonna be there's need a
lot of interesting tech I mean some of these some of these all kinds are doing
some really cool stuff I think that's interesting text that's gonna it's gonna
make its way up you know like there are some coins that have adopted things that
dizzy byte made I think like digi shield and they're they're uh re difficult
targeting mechanism and so like we're seeing some of these things come up from
from alt coins that are going to be helping these bigger coins and helping
Bitcoin yeah I there's again yeah Bitcoin can incorporate anything but if
there is some unique and innovation from one of these do who you see that that's
the thing on some of these fifty or sixty or coins they might be doing
unique innovations we have no idea was we've never heard of them this is gonna
get them go to get them on the map a little bit because they're fun they're
involved with something fun but maybe one of these they'll they'll come up
with something unique and people will start thinking you know what I this
should be something in sauna this second level and Bitcoin or something like that
whoa yeah this no very good very good and these these coins are they're very
social and I think that's that's an important aspect you know particularly
around dogecoin there was of this very social movement I'm in crypto is a
social movement so when I see people putting out you know education videos on
on Bitcoin there I watched one the other day it was starting like let's talk
about money and then let's talk about the banking
system let's talk about all these things that disconnect the individual from
crypto it makes it like this thing over here and if we if we take this other
approach this fun more social approach that's it's just so much easy for easier
for people to walk into it and dip their toes in and start learning about it so
we've got it we've got to take a step back and understand how this is a social
movement and it's not just the technology technology is incredible it's
what's driving the social movement but it is still a social movement and so we
need to be understanding that and I think there are people that don't that
are maybe a little too deep into what the tech is and they haven't seen the
rest of what's happened here I think they're
some people kind of early in the you know new in the investing space moving
into this into crypto they see the tech they see blockchain they're all about
that they understand it but they don't understand the communities around it and
this is this is a very community driven movement everyone out there pound that
like button for the social approach that he's taken here III like this I like I
like where you're going yeah you definitely have a plan here it's it's
just got to get implemented more people got to hear about this thing and I think
it's I think it's gonna be very unique that's why I had you on the show because
I hadn't heard anything like this before I thought it was that you know great
demographics coming together but you've really elaborated on the social aspect
of cryptocurrency and how some of you know the detect something and detect in
the money kind of scare some people like maybe turn some people off sometimes
when in in the end it is very very social thing people need to know about
the ASP you know sometimes it gets into like gang warfare type of stuff - I
don't wanted to get that into that level there you know battling but uh no it is
it is on a social level and you're you're definitely trying to implement
that into this this initiative you're so like look at venmo venmo was is really
fun because it's actually fun it's a fun way to send money to your peers it's
another peer you know semi peer-to-peer solution that we don't want to give it
all that much credit but you know it's they've made it fun to where you can
post messages about you know payments that you make and you just you just have
a lot of fun that I've sent some very very interesting messages to my friends
when I make payments and it's just a social aspect that can be integrated
into money and just makes it more effective in terms of getting it adopted
indeed this shows social level will increase adoption because people feel
more comfortable with it is fun and yeah I it definitely this is uh this is some
good stuff okay so give his Twitter is linked to below the official jalapeno
Twitter is is linked to below how shoutouts to oh yeah please so a disc on
it's a conference coming up in Denver August third and fourth a friend hunt
fries putting it on on Fri and Zach wolf I think that's gonna be that's gonna be
really awesome they're they're not pitching i cos it's a it's a no i co
conference they're really talking about well just just making it easier for
beginners to get into the space and so there's gonna have they're gonna have a
lot of different sections of the conference it's gonna be at a boulder
theatre so it's right there on Pearl Street and it's gonna be a ton of fun so
I'm gonna be speaking out a panel there and where exactly is that again what
city Boulder Colorado Boulder in boltor okay so now again we've talked about
Denver for cons of both they're spread out but they're the same metro area and
everything and you will be speaking you'll talk about a jalapeno then yeah
I'll talk about jalapeno I'll talk about you know mass adoption you know that
that consumer-level mass adoption and what its gonna take to get into the
consumers hand and I think there's a there's another conference in Spain that
I might speak at I don't know the details on that one but yeah gonna be
get out there definitely get out there because I think more and more people are
gonna get pumped about it like I'm getting pumped about it it's just more
people need to hear about this definitely so that's what I've I've
given you this platform today and I think there are a lot of people
interested in it any other sad-ass you wanna you want to show hey I mean if
anybody knows any game developers that are interested in something like this
like we're totally down to have some preliminary conversations about that so
shoot them our way re at holla Panda IO is my email address so we're looking you
know any game partners to just talk with and kind of help us develop that side of
the product for them so so it's it's exactly what they need and works with
everything that they're that they're working with
yes hala PennDOT I oh yeah oh yeah well good if you go to the Twitter account
you'll see the correct URL spelling him and it's just re and re is actually spun
aar I yes like Avery yeah alright alright re well dude you're in motion it
was it was great to meet you in person it was great to have you here on the
show today you did a great job talking about
this you could everyone can see I'm pumped about it because I think in the
long run if this thing gets off the ground for real man the kids are gonna
love it the gamers are gonna love it they're gonna get their hands on crypto
some guys that never would have gotten any crypto as early as they're gonna get
into it are gonna get into it early it's gonna lead them in the Bitcoin more
innovation more social positive vibe coming out of this for crypto and crypto
sometimes needs that because sometimes there's a certain corners of crypto can
be you know toxic individuals again Bitcoin is hardcore baby that that's not
toxic that's that's running you know running wild baby running wild but some
of these coins you know people get down on them because the price is down know
this so this will be fun so I'll put the fun back into you know
adora during a bear market you need a you need something like this yeah I mean
look what crypto kitty I mean that was out I was in a bull market but crypto
kitties was able to get a lot of people using that and and transacting in that
really really fast so it's all it's all social it's all fun this is what's
really gonna drive adoption and we have to we have to create these things to
take crypto to the people instead of waiting for them to come all the way and
jump through all the bears to come to us exactly I think it'll be a lot of yeah I
keep on saying young people I mean gamers are young people so remember he
hopefully one of those coins will be the next doge coin bitcoin is the next
Bitcoin but maybe one of those guys is the next dogecoin all right everybody
that's it i'm adam meister the bitcoinmeister the disrupt meister
