Today,
you’re gonna find out
what the next big thing and the best thing
in crypto is gonna be.
Watch this I do with my favorite bro bro himself, Kenn Bosak.
We discussed why the next biggest thing in crypto in terms of value and adoption is a funky kind of token most people haven’t heard of.
Find out what it is
and why getting tiny BitBoys
may be super lucrative in the future.
Let’s get it.
BitBoy Crypto, how goes it, my bro bro?
- So? Who the hell is BitBoy? - Yeah.
Well, my name is Ben.
And I am the host of BitBoy Crypto.
We’re trying to make a slight distinction between me and BitBoy, and so,
BitBoy is a superhero.
- He is a cryptocurrency superhero. - So? I’m talking to the alter ego right now?
- Or am I talking to… - Kind of.
I have--
There’s a little bit of an Easter egg when we start really saying the BitBoy comics.
There’s a little bit of Easter egg about his name.
I’ll let you guys figure that out.
But, no, I am not the alter ego.
I had this idea, or in January 2018,
right when things were at the fever pitch,
I had this idea to do this animated cartoon series.
I started the channel to do that,
but then, over the bear market,
there’s no fun.
- You know, nobody wanted anything fun. - Oh. Yeah.
They didn’t want a cartoon.
They didn’t want a comic.
They didn’t want parodies.
They didn't want rap songs.
They didn't want anything.
All they wanted was, you know,
- to be miserable and be depressed. - Yeah, they wanted the--
What was that? They call that like horror porn or whatever.
You know, they get off on like that negative media.
- And that's what kind of like people fed into it during the bear market. - Absolutely.
- That's really where-- - Yeah.
like people we're getting off to just the more negativity the better for them.
- I don't know why, but, yeah. - Yeah.
So, yeah, so that's basically what happened,
and a friend of mine actually talked me in--
and he actually works with me on the NFTs now.
He talked me into doing news videos very early on.
He said I'd be good at it, said that I can, you know, communicate well,
and I knew a lot about crypto, so I started doing news videos
and grinded it on the channel for years.
And then this year, we finally hit the jump off, so.
Dude, it's like almost kind of a prophecy
or like you've come full circle,
- like, you know, mentioning Mt. Gox - I have.
- and what you're doing now with the NFTs and the cards, - Yeah. Yeah.
like a lot of people don't know that Bitcoin trading started
- between Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts - Yup.
- like Mt. Gox was Magic: The Gathering eXchange. - Yup.
It just so happened to be like, “Oh, we do digital card things.
We could do digital coin things.” And, you know, Mark just added it.
- It was crazy! - Yeah.
So, to see a--
you know, you kind of go full circle
and come back to like, you know,
trading cards with the Mt. Gox thing.
That's really awesome.
And let people know a little bit about that too
because, I mean, maybe they're not aware.
Yeah, it's funny because, I mean, it's really allowed me to come back full circle.
I mean, I think a lot of people think like I just, you know,
“NFTs are popular, so I'm gonna jump in and do this and do this,”
but this was actually the original intention of this entire channel.
If you go back and watch the first videos of the channel,
they're not that great,
but, you know, it was me trying to animate and tell the story and
you know, we never actually put out the first real true episode of the comic series,
but we tried a lot of stuff.
Animation was really hard.
So, this NFT craze, if you will, has really allowed us to jump back into that,
and we are just absolutely full force in it.
So, we are on Rarible,
and we are--
We put out a bunch of cards,
and we're trying to separate--
We're actually going to be doing a second verified Rarible account soon,
where we're gonna do kind of like a fan art,
and, you know,
if you're on Rarible, and you've sold stuff, people send you a ton of stuff.
We're gonna start selling that stuff through a different store.
We want our BitBoy collectibles to be really everything aligned with the BitBoy comic brand.
We actually have what I believe is the first NFT comic book,
where each page is going to be a separate NFT coming out.
We're working hard on that right now.
That's going to start telling the story of BitBoy,
how he became BitBoy,
you know, kind of some flashback stuff,
you know. It's going to be pretty cool.
So we're going to be doing that.
We got the cover pretty much ready to go.
We're going to be releasing that--
I don't know when we're going to do it
because we're about to do a big release right now.
- I will show you the first card here in a minute, but-- - Oh, shit.
Yeah, I'm gonna show you that here in just a second.
And, yeah, so we want everything to be the BitBoy brand,
the BitBoy Collectible brand,
the BitBoy comic series.
We're adding utility to our cards.
These are not like where I'm just like,
“Hey, I have a big audience on YouTube.
Here's a card. Go buy it.”
Like all of these cards ultimately are gonna have like really big utility
that we can talk about here in a few minutes,
but, yeah, we really jumped hot and heavy into the space,
and we're super excited to--
you know.
Like we're working with four of the biggest NFT
you know, projects out there right now, so.
Nice. Nice.
I wonder what your thoughts are doing something like this and thinking,
you know, sort of inspirationally, you know.
Do you think like, you know,
with the success of like a BitBoy tokenized comic series,
you know, you could take a lot of what you're going to learn
- to conversations with legacy comics. - Yeah.
I would love to see Marvel be inspired by what you're doing
and be able to use it as a catalyst for like,
"Okay, we could do a tokenized Spider-Man comic with," you know,
- "Rarible or NFTs or XYZ," - Yeah.
and, you know, being the first to do something is it's really,
you know,
kind of ground-paving,
so I appreciate you putting in a lot of this effort.
It's not like you have a catalyst that you can point to,
- but you're kind of building that blueprint. - Yeah.
So, have you thought about maybe reaching out to like legacy comics?
Or not something as big as Marvel
but some of those like, you know, like lesser knowns
that are still on the shelves and like comic book shops?
I have not personally thought about doing that.
I think that's a really interesting idea.
One thing we've been tossing around,
I think this is what we're gonna do for the comic.
We're working on the page numbers.
We want to do 10 pages.
So each one will be 10 cards.
We may actually end up going longer than that,
and making them maybe less expensive.
But the thing is that once you actually get all the cards to a comic,
if you have all like--
What's the incentive to get all the cards?
Because if you want to read it, you can just screenshot them.
Right. I could go get a PDF of like
- Spider-Man issue one. - Right. Exactly.
- I don't have to buy it. I can get it from - Yes. Right.
But,
if we actually
you know,
if you buy all the cards, or you don't have to--
It gets a little sketchy because it's like,
do you have to own them? Or do you have to buy them?
You know?
Because if someone were to resale and collect all of them,
then I don't know exactly how that will work,
- I’m really happy you made that distinction - but basically--yeah.
because a lot of people don't pay attention to that
- when it comes to utility for NFTs. - Yeah. Right.
A lot of the time, it is direct purchase,
and then secondaries don't really benefit from some kind of a utility.
- Well, because-- - And then that adds a different value to like
buying it from you directly as opposed to buying it me secondary.
Right. Because what we want to do is we want to make it,
if you collect all the cards,
then we send you a physical copy of the book.
- Oh, shit! - Yeah.
- That's gonna be interesting. - Yeah. So you get a physical copy.
So there'd be very few of these copies we'll actually make.
Some we had to--and that's where it gets a little dicey,
and we're trying to think through all these things because like
like, okay, if you coll--
What if you miss one of the cards on the original sale?
Like, if you collect them all, can you send that to us?
Because then we got to be careful about scammers and people being like,
“Okay, well, I'm gonna resell it to myself a bunch of times
and collect them a bunch of times to get all these copies.” So,
I don't know.
You know, ultimately, you would have to do some form of--
some form of KYC to receive it
because we're gonna have to ship it to you. You know?
So we're gonna have to at least get your shipping details,
and stuff like that, so I don't know,
maybe we can kind of use that,
you know,
and something. I mean,
Look, I mean, an actual comic book,
what it would cost to print is not a ton of money, obviously.
- Well, we could probably find a way to do it ourselves. - Well, to talk about the illustrating, the writing, and everything,
- But that's what comes in. - I mean-- Right.
Yeah. The illustrating takes a long time.
I mean, we got a storyboard.
This is not like--
I mean, I think sometimes people think like,
“Oh, you know, they just throw crap on there.”
But like,
we have thought through like a lot of this,
- and we've been very methodical. - Well, the art shows it, you know.
- It's very polished, triple A, and-- - Oh, it's about to be--
Wait till you see the card today.
It's about to be--
- We're taking it to another level, so - Keep setting the bar, bro bro.
Keep setting that bar.
So, here are the cards we got right now.
We actually cleaned out our whole shop.
We sold everything.
And we've been very methodical about what we want to do going forward.
Here's our little--
We're starting these things called BitBoy Xtras
because we're trying to make sure every card has a place
in our BitBoy collection, you know.
So like, here's just a Halloween card we made, a little bat.
It’s like 0.2 ETH, 0.222, something like that.
So, we have these available, obviously, there's your Halloween--
After Halloween, we burn the rest.
So, if they don't all sell,
you're going to have, you know, extra copies.
Your card’s going to be more rare.
So that's what we're doing with this, but here's--
Here's our new series.
Okay?
So, this is “The Shill”.
Here.
- Oh, my god. I love this. - Yeah. This.
This is The Shill. So,
- Oh, it's double-sided! - Yeah, it’s double-sided.
So, each one is going to give a little explanation of what these characters are.
So, The Shill, he's actually-- He’s misunderstood.
He's actually a good guy. He's a hero,
but people see him as like the shill.
They think he's a bad guy. He's got these red eyes.
He has, you know, kind of Gambit-esque explosive crypto cards.
He knows exactly what card to use at the right time,
what cryptocurrency is needed for every situation.
He knows the utility. You know?
So, if he's in a battle with somebody,
he knows exactly what to do to try to, you know, battle that person.
So, this is Card 4 of 8 character cards.
We're releasing all 8 of our characters,
4 heroes and 4 villains.
They're all going to be the Grand Theft Crypto style,
Digital City.
Now, this is important because Digital City is--
That is where these people live.
That's where all these characters live, at Digital City.
It’s actually--
It’s kind of like The Matrix.
- It's like its own kind of dimension - Okay.
wired into the Bitcoin network or cryptocurrency network.
- I know it’s-- - Oh! So it’s kind of like a node
- or something like that. I get it. - Yeah. Something like that.
Right now-- Eventually, these characters will end up escaping onto the regular world.
We got a whole story behind it. So here is--
And so, if you look over on the right-hand side,
here is the description.
I'm just gonna read it for everybody because it's pretty cool what we're doing.
Okay?
The Shill. Digital City BitBoy Collection.
This is Card 4 out of 13 in the series.
Owners of this card,
so, basically, every card, when it sells out,
we’re gonna do a 6-ETH giveaway
to all the people that currently hold the card when it happens.
So, 1st place would win 3 ETH,
2nd place will win 2 ETH,
and 3rd place will win 1 ETH.
This is where it gets pretty interesting with the utility though.
Owners who own both this card and Card 8 of this series,
which we’ll be releasing later this week,
maybe tomorrow even,
“FOMO”,
will receive a free Airdropped “Versus” card.
So we’re going to be making these “Versus” cards
of pairs of these characters
- facing off against each other. - Nice!
I was wondering when that was gonna happen
because I’ve seen a lot of--
- I mean, they're all individual characters, - Right.
but I was waiting for some kind of like crossover, team-up,
- mash-up, Avenger style or something. - Yeah.
- You know what I mean? - Yeah. So we’re kind of showing like
like the one--
These characters have rivalries, right?
So you’ll receive a free Airdropped “Versus” card
pitting The Shill vs FOMO.
This will be Card 9 out of 13 in the series,
only available via the airdrop.
Guaranteed to be more rare than the first 8 cards in the series.
So if you own the two characters that are on the “Versus” card,
you get the “Versus” card airdropped.
So, basically, you have to own both to get that free card.
You're getting a whole card for absolutely free
just for having those two.
Then, owners who gather all 8 of the character cards,
and earn all 4 of the “Versus” cards,
so you own all 12, you get--
You have all 8 character cards,
you earn all 4 of the “Versus” cards
because you have all the characters,
will get a special super rare card,
which is Card 13 in the series.
It’s only via airdrop.
Guaranteed to be super rare
because somebody’s gotta own all 8 of them to get it.
And this is where things get really cool.
And this is where--
No. 4:
More special utility will be unlocked
in future announcements of all BitBoy Card holders,
or it should have said “for” all BitBoy Card holders.
We're going to find a way to build in utility for every card that we've sold
through this platform.
And what Card 13 is going to be is it's going to be a map of Digital City.
So you're going to get the full map of Digital City,
and we're also going to mail you a poster of it.
- So, you’re not-- - Ahhhh!!!
- Yeah, so you're not just gonna be - That is awesome!
Yeah, you're not just--
Oh, just remember, I'm just here. It's cash grab.
You know, we're not thinking through anything.
- You know, we're just throwing all this stuff. - Oh, yeah, dude. You're such a scammer.
- I can't believe you. - Yeah. I know, right?
- You're doing so little for your community, you jerk. - So little for the community. So little for NFTs.
I'm just here, a flash in the pan here.
So, anyway, so we're gonna be sending out posters
of the map of Digital City.
We're working on it right now.
Hopefully, it will be done by the end of the series,
which we’re gonna be releasing 2 a week.
So it's basically going to run for 4 weeks.
And then we got to see how fast they sell,
- and things like that. - Dude, that is awesome.
- You know what that reminds me of? - Yeah.
And it's funny because it's straight up going with the theme of the card there.
It reminds me of what Grand Theft Auto did
when they said that if you pre-order the game,
- you can get a map of the city, - Exactly.
- but that's the only way to get the map of the Grand Theft Auto City! - Yeah, exactly!
And without that map, bro, you know how hard missions are.
Like you can't go,
“Oh, let me go run to my wall real quick and reference.
Oh, I gotta go down the high.”
- There was a big incentive to go and get that game early - Well, listen to this.
so you can get the Grand Theft Auto map.
We're gonna be tying all this, all this in together.
Okay, this is where the future comes in.
Okay?
We are actually going to be tying all of this together in
with our land on Sandbox.
- We are actually-- - Oh.
Yeah. Oh, I know. I know.
This is where it gets crazy.
We are actually going to be building Digital City
here,
on our land in Sandbox.
And we have some of the finest designers.
We have Minecraft professionals
that we're paying to come in here
- and build the city on our land. - Oh, my god.
And we build in the utility to the cards, okay?
Where every card has something that unlocks
inside of the city,
inside the game.
If you have special cards, you'll only, you know,
you'll have to have certain cards to get into certain areas of the game.
- So, right now, we're-- - It’s like a red bandana or a blue bandana
- to get into certain areas of your neighborhood. - Exactly. Exactly.
So, we're gonna have special rooms, you know.
There are gonna be like a special bar or a special
you know,
arcade or whatever it is built into the city
that only the people that own certain cards can get into, you know.
Now, we may have--
We may have other ways that people can earn interest into that,
but it's basically like a shortcut.
Like if you think about Zelda,
it was just the only role-playing game I ever play.
I really like Zelda. I don't really get into
you know, a lot of the other kind of turn-based games.
But, when you get in
you know, if you're in Zelda,
there are certain things that you can do
to be able to get into a room early,
but then there's longer quests that you can go on
you know, you can go and do like
you can kind of buy your way in.
It’s like, you know, if you have 1000 rupees,
you can get into this special store,
but also like, if you go and you defeat this person somewhere,
like you can also get access to it.
Now, in addition to all this,
we also are going to be launching
the first ever NFT card game launched
through WAX themselves. Now,
- Yeah, there-- - Yes!
There are card games that have launched on the WAX blockchain,
but we're actually working directly with WAX to launch this card game.
We're looking at probably a January release for it.
So it'll be like,
kind of like, you know,
some of the card games you know.
Like we talked about earlier, Magic: The Gathering,
have some elements of some of these games inside of it,
but it's going to be a cryptocurrency version, you know.
And it's gonna be--
It's gonna be fun, man. We're really excited about it.
We've got some really good designers.
And it's, you know.
Everything works hand in hand,
the Digital City,
the NFTs,
the cards,
the actual game ca--
you know, the card game itself,
like the comics.
These are all like wrapping around to tell the story of the BitBoy Crypto universe.
And we're also trying to figure out ways to implement
you know,
the cards also into our card game with WAX,
so like, if you own a certain character,
maybe you get a special pack, you know, for the game,
that has, you know, three versions of that character in it guaranteed.
But that's something--
Now, that is we're getting a little more into
like conversations we have to have with WAX
- to make sure that like - Right.
Because we want the card sale to be fair,
where everybody has a chance,
and so we're trying to figure out if we can actually
you know.
Can we set aside certain cards to have utility that--? You know.
It might mess up the odds on the game. So,
that's an idea that we have,
Personally, I am hella excited for what you're going to do with WAX.
I--
It’s my bigger like,
you know, I tell people NFTs are my coins.
Like, I got bags of NFTs when people have bags of tokens,
but my bag overall is like with WAX NFTs,
and the utility, like,
you couldn't build a game on Ethereum right now,
maybe with 2.0, but you know how expensive it would be
- just to do things and sign contracts - Yeah.
and like engage with a blockchain game on ETH?
The fact that you can do it on WAX for like free,
- that's gonna be really fun to see. - Yeah. That’s why we’re going with them.
And we like WAX, too. We like the people there.
We like the founder William Quigley.
Like, we like the whole thing.
We'd liked WAX for a long time.
And I know you've been bullish on WAX.
Stash have been bullish on WAX.
- Stash is bullish on Stash Wax also, but-- - Yeah.
- Well, what I want to get into real quick before we go is - Yeah?
what you're doing on Rarible,
it's going to help a lot with what you're going to do on WAX, right?
- Yeah. Absolutely. - Like, I don't know if a lot of people are familiar,
but WAX is getting into the whole DeFi distribution of like,
you know, resources kind of a thing,
same thing like what Rarible’s doing with RARI,
they're going to be doing with WAX.
So, you know, there's going to be an interesting mechanic,
same thing with like the sales and transactions on Rarible,
where WAX is generated and given to dividends and stuff to people,
so, you're going to be able to take this whole learning process from Rarible
- and apply it to the WAX launch, - Absolutely.
- which is going to be cool to see like, you know. - Yeah.
What do you guys think about utility for NFTs?
Drop me a comment down below and let me know what you think about what we're doing at BitBoy Collectibles.
Make sure to check out the full video on Kenn's channel. Link below.
That’s all I got.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
