Transcript

thank you for having me and yes so uh we are basically a Polish the most famous and one and only polish pfp uh collection like that in Poland um let's start so uh basically our whole existence is based on uh is based on maming poly culture and Polish people making jokes from being Po and stuff like that so even um the number of the amount of uh our pfp um collection is based on the uh time of death of Polish Pope uh because this is for some reason the most popular uh one of the most popular polish uh meme in the internet um we are the most tradable collection in Poland so uh basically our similar collection to us has like four times uh less volume than us and we were the three mint so this is also something pretty strange because on the crypto Market we have different metas and and there was a time when people were giving away their art they their work for free so uh because of another polish meme that we just love free stuff and the best price is free uh we thought that it will be somehow cool to uh distribute Polish Collection like that so um at the beginning the distrib the distribution wasn't um good to be honest because most of these wallets were um Chinese Bots mainly because of this uh free uh minting prize we uh as a team meant at 100 and basically most of them were given way on various uh events uh to important people in Polish crypto face and also on during some giveaways uh for promotion reasons so um in the same time when the free Mint Collection uh meta emerge there was also a meta for National Collections and most prominent one was the Saudis they really like spark on this this uh meta and and encourage most of uh countries to do their own um pfp collection like this but the PO like even the Saudis dies after two years there is no more like active Community around the Saudis but we are here with active community of the POI even after this two years so it's the only project on the world in the world that uh managed to like survive after um after end of this uh National meta also my idea was that Polish people are best suited for that kind of collection because we are like to say that we are polish like there are many values that we uh like about being polish so um yeah Yeah nationalistic country so yeah I I really feel thought that it will be good idea to build something like that in uh web free space so uh few days after the meeting start and there was still active uh meaning um by that time there was eth War so two years ago when Sosi one of our first and like biggest uh early adopters of the pazi has a speech like that uh during eth war so and simply didn't talk about his own project he put all the focus on the pazi collection how great this collection is so after that all the people during the eth war so know what the POI was and that bring this uh final few means that we were lacking for being a Meed out um from the very beginning uh we were focusing on on giving the as much power to our community as possible um but there are for people basically making sure that we are going somewhere and it's not only uh chaotic Journey yeah so um basically what we didn't want to be like group where people came to get trading insights or anything connected to trading per se so we focus from the early days on Gathering incred incredible Community among uh we have very prominent hundreds of uh Polish people from web web free space including uh enterpr developers business developers and so on um our community isn't with us because of uh like Financial opportunities basically but more because you can ask any question on our open chat on or on our closed uh token gated Telegram and basically receive answer on any topic from moral philosophy to development and anything between there are some testimonials I I asked uh recently uh Community why they are join uh this this community and why they State um many uh heartwarming um messages this is only few of them so basically they are just there for uh having fun online and be with friends basically so so that it's not um this common situation where people just want to make money and there is no this social site um to it as I mentioned we managed to really um do some volume on uh on openc there are also other marketplaces where the Paz are are tradable but still uh this is uh one major point when we can uh show that it was a pretty big amount of money um yeah basically um people were asking me what is the utility it's also very common thing in Poland we just want always be sure that our money is put into work um in some good places so uh I thought that telling people that uh the poat are just um think that you keep in your wallet to make sure that no one will steal your other crypto FS like good charm but then someone stole my thei and that wasn't the case anymore I managed to recover this deazi but still it I can't say that deazi prevent anything yeah earlier this year um I like to call it uh that the poat are Riders of met so we just know what is the Hot Topic uh of current crypto world and we just delivered that to to Polish people so before it was the poat during the national meta during the free Min meta and earlier this year we um make ordinal starter pack that was invite that was invitation for Polish people to ordinals uh Market also for these two years people were asking us when the poy why you discriminate half of this country and we just wasn't sure where is the best time to to do it we didn't want to just make it happen because it was too easy when the ordinal start we just knew that this is the time to uh issue another collection that will be complementary to this first one on two major uh cryptocurrency cryptocurrency chains we do really um we did really uh cool things with our community um we for example s our uh logo into the into the space uh on suborbital to the orbit basically on S suborbital uh rocket we created our uh limited edition line of Vapes uh with funny names also referring to polish culture we organized traditional polish Christmas Eve that was also very family event When We Gather like 40 people right 40 people something like that on the TR uh on the tradition traditional polish uh Christmas gathering we released a collection of flip flops like also Polish people are uh known from for wearing uh socks and flip flops so we did that uh with the most popular polish flipflop brand Kubota we made our own um with partnership with them we made our own red flip flops with with socks um to to accompaniment our nft collection also uh like there are few celebrities persons that rarely are seen with any products because they are don't want to be connected with with selling something um but we manag to uh for example have Rafa zorski the most famous polish Trader to be um photographed with um flip flops when we when he received them from from part of our core team um also we we have stuff like uh our own uh rap song with with Polish rapper about Med station and we also hosting various uh spaces on Twitter about mostly crypto but also meditations self exloration and more spiritual path I would say um and more it's it's funny because you know it was free meant we really do this because we like our community not for for financial reasons or anything like that uh over the past two years we also organized few Raves Gathering all over one 1,000 uh people enjoying techno music um and also during the summer uh for the py community we were providing ordinal Hub when we where we uh meet with artists and dend from ordinal Market to just know more about this um emerging uh Market this is like mainly the same but uh in more structur uh way I add this uhi group because it's like another part of of what we do we have token gate telegram it's like it was our first utility because you can't uh enter this chat without the POI and it's just more close more family uh experience than an open chat where where just anyone can uh can come in we even have a game on our side you can uh play this game it's pretty simple but still uh we manage to to deliver uh even a game it's not token gated anyone can play this simple game and of course uh we would be nothing with our partners and also good friends because it's not like they are just business to business relation it's more like we just like this people so we doing business with them and that's the most important part of the poates so big shout out to our amazing Community this is all the nicknames that uh one of our core uh team members have in his mind uh all the time so he just sent me this after I don't know 30 seconds like I asked him who to shot out on eth war so and after 30 seconds he sent me this so like the engagement and the power of this community is for sure based on many people that are important to the web free word as well as they are part of uh of our amazing Community thank you so much for attendance and if you have any questions I'm here for
