Welcome to the content meeting.
I'm going to be totally honest with you guys.
I don't have a lot today because we're--
we just had this big affiliate meeting yesterday.
We're going to have to do some stuff based off of that.
But that's more behind the scenes work,
figuring out exactly how we want to implement a lot of stuff.
No. 2,
we're making big changes to the livestream and the way we livestream
with this Brinx.TV stuff.
But me and TJ are going to meet with him on Thursday.
So we're not ready to implement any of that yet.
And so for--
while I'm gone,
Free Algorand?
Deezy,
Frank,
Nick,
- get the livestream done every day, please. - Okay.
And so that's really all I have today.
I don't have anything specific.
- We're good? - Yeah.
- Anything else? Sweet. - Alright. Thank you.
1, 2, 3, team!
- Great if we could do that. - Sun's out, guns out.
It is. I'm sure.
Hold on. Let me fix my audio here.
Oh, they're on speakers.
Oh, there you go.
How's it going? How's the gym?
Oh, it's good. I'm always sweaty when I come back from the gym.
I think you're supposed to be.
Okay.
- ln, out. A little meditation? - Yeah.
Okay. We got the theme song.
- I'll show you in about a minute. - Sweet.
What's up, everyone?
Welcome back to the Miss Teen Crypto Show!
Wow! I am feeling the zest.
There are so many cool friends in the chat.
Thank you all for coming.
And now let's jump in to today's awesome show
with the one and only Ben Armstrong aka BitBoy Crypto.
Welcome to the show. How are you doing?
Oh, I'm doing good today.
You know, we get to talk crypto and get zesty.
You know, you've got to love that.
- I think this is your third time on this show. - I think so.
Yeah, like, so if someone hasn't seen you before,
which is ridiculous,
please share a little bit about you.
Yeah. My name is Ben Armstrong, founder of BitBoy Crypto.
I've been in crypto since 2012.
You know, we try to, you know, teach education.
We do it in an entertaining way.
We have livestreams every day.
Nobody knows this.
This is some alpha right here.
Nobody knows this yet.
We're actually going to be soon transitioning into a 24/7 crypto network.
So we've got a lot of stuff in the horizon.
We had a meeting about it today.
So, yeah, we're going to be adding a lot more shows and doing a lot more stuff.
So we like to look at ourselves as, you know, we're the main education place.
You know, well-rounded, cover a lot of different coins,
cover, you know, a lot of the news in the space,
have big guests on.
You know, we're trying to be
the ESPN of crypto.
I don't want to say the CNN.
But the ESPN of crypto.
That's kind of what we're trying to be, so.
So, if we're going towards--
if we're building out this 24/7 crypto network,
you know, Web3-targeted network,
that sort of thing,
obviously, scheduling, programming, coordination,
all of that stuff becomes highly more important,
especially if we're using Brinx,
remoting into their system,
coordinating all that stuff.
Times matter.
Runtimes matter.
Having-- we're going to have to create fillers.
What's evergreen versus what's rele-- you know,
like, there's only certain things you can do every single day, right?
When it comes to relevant kind of show.
For example, we've been talking about with the HIT Gaming stuff,
trying to get that more into Web3-related
and having Joel traditional gamers talk to maybe Bryan from that, you know,
interview founders, but do a show with the two of them together
talking Web3 games versus--
or even with maybe Stache or somebody like that.
Basically, pairing somebody up to get a Web3-related style game.
That's much more evergreen than, say, a trading show,
or a crypto news show, that sort of thing.
You can't have four people going over crypto news every single day
- and three different traders. - Right.
- You know, like, we need to have a new show. - Different voice.
A trading show.
I think we've got to bring back Daily Hits at the end of the day
because it will be--
it's just in li--
it'll be--
A, it's evergreen.
It's something we can rerun if we need to in a gap, things like that.
But it also is behind the scenes of everybody out of Web3 network
and what's going on and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Nina's thrown out like that crypto ASMR thing.
Like, we've seen some fun, kitschy kind of things
that I think are good to mix in.
Like, we want to be relevant and cultural
and being mindful of representing all the different thoughts across the industry, so.
I hope there would be-- have somebody do the show on Saturday and Sunday.
- The regular livestream? - Uh-huh.
Yeah, we could.
Yeah, we could definitely get towards that.
Again, this is what we're--
- I'd like to get to-- - That would helps us
because we could rerun that several times each day.
Let me tell you what I think would be better.
What would be better is if we could find more people to fill in on the show for me.
- We can do that. - And we could test them on the weekends.
And see how the audience reacts to them and--
And keep in mind too,
a lot of--
there's going to be a lot of fluidity as we're getting into, you know,
we're testing ATB with Brinx as--
- because it's the most complicated one. - Yeah.
Assuming we're going to learn a lot about that.
But it's going to change--
once we get over to Brinx,
and we're not doing as much switching and stuff from here,
it's going to change the look and feel of a lot of our shows.
Like, I don't even know I'm--
like, maybe I'm still on the morning livestream.
- It'd be totally-- - I've already thought about that.
And I think the--
like, for Around the Blockchain specifically,
we still need someone in the chair,
and their whole job will be, like, to send over the question.
Like,
like, Deezy asks this question.
They send it over in the Discord.
They pop the graphic up.
What you can do daily,
what you can do weekly,
what are some Web3 evergreen type things
that, you know, can stay relevant for 5-7 days approximately?
Another way that you can fill if needed
but also providing value and making money are things like,
like, to add a lot of evergreen stuff on my channel that can bring in money,
like how to short the market,
- how to make money when it's going down, - Yeah.
how to use Market Cipher.
These are all things that will provide true value.
We're going to teach you how to use the indicator,
but, like, if you want to sign up, use our code.
I'll share this schedule with everybody so we can start just kind of brainstorming.
And then over the next week or so, we'll get a little shape then.
- Beautiful. - Ready, break!
Break!
So, down here is the--
So I bought the house because this was all cheap and empty.
Yeah, looks familiar.
- And creates this really, really cool space. - It's cooler than my house.
It's cooler than my house!
- So this is the-- - Look at this.
This is what he was showing. This is what I was telling you about.
- Oh, gosh! - You're going to love this.
- Oh, my! - Yeah.
You're going to like that.
- I really like how this is set up. - Yeah.
So, the way--
- so the way that I ended up setting this up was-- - Yeah?
- so I've always worked out at the house. - Yeah.
So-- and I've always--
- Don't record me, man. - Yeah.
Yeah. So this virt--
- so this is the virtual setup and-- - You play guitar too?
- I do. - Nice!
- You look up to anyone? - Hello!
So I record and do all this.
And this is Herb.
- Herbert, this is everybody. - Herbert!
- Nice to meet you, man. - My guy! Herberto!
Pleasure meeting you, man.
This--
so this has Nc--
so if you know anything about the virtual studio space,
this is Ncam with Zero Density with Unreal Engine.
Yes.
So, up on there, you know, we just have this as our background.
Have the screen go up and down.
Like, you can just have anything that you want.
What's super cool about this and the way that this is set up is,
once you set up all the tracking,
- you know, so that is seamless, right? - Love it.
- To go all the way down? - Yeah.
We have it looking computer. Right?
- You can make it ultra realist, you know? - Right.
- We just chose not to. - Yeah.
We were like, "Eh."
But what's cool is that because you have all your markers,
so this is literally exactly what ESPN has for--
- Do you actually watch their morning SportsCenter? - Can I walk down there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Walk on down.
Walk in there. Like, obviously, this is lit.
- You see like the-- - Oh, that's where I am.
- Oh, so that's how you see yourself. - Yeah.
I always wondered how Tony Reali saw himself, you know?
- Tony Reali is on a virtual set exactly like this. - Yeah. Exactly like this.
- Literally exactly like this. - I turned on this guy.
I see myself, that turned me on, No. 1.
No. 2, thinking about what we can do with this,
- Yup. - pretty good.
This is exactly what you see.
So you know when you see the scores on the games
- and as the logo flies over Monday Night? - Yeah.
The exact same setup.
They just have it on the spider camera.
- Yeah. - So they--
And they use Ncams.
- They put Ncams on the spider cam. - Got it.
- And they just fly that out there. Yup. - And that's how they drop that graphic down there
- over what they're actually looking at. - 100%.
So you're just flying by it, and all you do is you have your 3D world.
So this is the 3D world.
- We have this little pieces of tape. - This is so freaking cool.
- So you'd be like, "Wow! This is why I'm cool." - It's like the next thing.
Just a learning process.
You know, I know you guys have connections within the broadcast space and over the top space.
We've got a lot of connections on the content, producer side.
What is your ex-- like, if all this goes perfectly in the next 12 months,
are my main focus going to be working to get to those 12 hours of content?
We've never streamed 24/7 on YouTube before either.
I think that's going to crush,
- but we have no idea. - Right.
We've been doing two, three, four or five videos a day for years now
and starting more channels, and that's the whole thing.
Our slogan is create more, you know?
It's like we want to always be improving,
always be putting out more content, more information that impacts people.
- We got to-- we're going back to-- - And then that.
I really appreciate that part what happens there.
- Well, no, I just wanted to like-- - I just sit here listening to TJ.
I was like, "Man, this is a comfortable couch."
- Getting face to face is just important to us - Yeah.
than, you know, like, it's my--
I'd much rather talk through things than, you know, go back and forth on email.
