A
The
next
person
to
the
stage
will
be
another
amazing
speaker
known
as
rimber
jack
or
riem
she's
been
an
active
member
of
for
ann's
guild
and
also
part
of
open
forest
project.
So
this
is
going
to
be
interesting
and
today
she's
going
to
be
talking
about
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
djan?
Actually
a
very
special
group
of
folks
near
there?
We
go.
B
Hi,
I'm
rim-
some
of
you
may
know
me
as
rimberjack
on
telegram
and
twitter
and
today
I'm
talking
about
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
dj?
I
wear
many
hats
in
here,
I'm
basically
a
community
member,
I'm
associated
with
and
skilled.
I
am
doing
community
development
on
open
forest
protocol,
I'm
also
part
of
the
ref
finance
dao,
but
today
I
stand
here
before
you
as
part
of
the
council,
member
for
the
djinn
style
and
legions
within
the
context
of
near
protocol.
It's
a
very
specific
thing.
B
There
is
a
community,
grassroots,
basically
marketing
program,
a
group
of
zealots
that
we
call
very
amicably
as
the
near
djinn
army.
It's
supposed
to
be
a
covert
operation.
You
probably
would
have
seen
us
some
of
our
members
on
twitter
and
reddit,
but
you
probably
don't
know
that
we
call
ourselves
that.
B
Okay?
Sorry,
so
today,
I'm
trying
to
talk
about
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
djinn
but
more
specifically
within
the
near
context,
but
in
order
to
get
there,
we
have
to
kind
of
trace
the
etymological
origin.
Obviously
so
in
crypto
a
d
gen,
it's
a
short
form
of
degenerate
and
you
usually
usually
use
it
in
the
context
of
d,
phi
d,
gen
or
nft
degen
and
basically,
in
a
very
simple
sense.
B
It's
someone
who
apes
in
whether
it's
nfts
or
d
fights
on
the
apes
in
an
ape
also
being
a
very
specific
term,
it
would
mean
go
all
in
no
all
gas,
no
breaks,
you
know
you're
you're,
ready
to
risk
it
all,
and
that's
someone
we
call
a
degen
or
that
kind
of
behavior
is
very
degen.
B
A
fellow
dj
of
ours
gave
a
very
nice
definition,
zardoz
sardos,
if
you're
watching
he
said,
djinns
and
crypto
are
people
who
invest
in
lots
of
crypto
like
chronic
gamblers.
They
live
and
breathe.
Crypto
they
ape
into
projects,
lose
a
lot
of
money,
but
earn
even
more.
They
are
early
adopters
and
trendsetters,
not
followers.
So
an
illustration
of
this
would
be
if
you're,
an
nft
degen.
You
probably
bought
a
bunch
of
you,
know,
solana,
apes,
board
apes
and
you
flip
them
for
100k.
B
You
quit
your
day
job,
that's
the
kind
of
nft
dijon
that
we're
talking
about.
If
we
talk
about
a
d5
degen,
this
is
something
another
fellow
dj
by
the
name
sanket.
He
made
this
for
what
is
now
available
on
near
d5
and
that's
someone
who
would
say,
for
instance,
you
use
your
near
in
order
to
lend
a
bunch
of
stable
coins
shout
out
to
boro
and
then
now
you
use
those
let
borrowed
stable
coins
in
order
to
farm
a
thousand
percent
apy
three
thousand
percent
ab
apy,
you
yield
the
version
of
harvest.
B
B
So
that's
a
little
bit
cut
off,
but
I
made
a
list
of
qualities
that
kind
of
define
what
it
means
to
be
a
degen
and
the
crypto
space.
So
you
ape
in
you're
savvy.
You
know
you're
acute
to
how
the
market
is
moving.
You
know,
what's
going
on
you're
early,
you
have
a
sense
of
humor.
Would
you
say
it's
kind
of
dank
you're
bold,
you
take
risks,
you're
mischievous
you're,
creative
you've
got
you.
B
Have
this
go
harder,
go
home
mentality
and
there's
this
independent
or
wolf
back
kind
of
attitude
that
about
you
and
you're
unbounded
and
you're
all
about
profits
gains,
and
this
is
I
mean.
What
is
what
the
idea
or
trope
of
djinn
tells
us
is
what
kind
of
space
crypto
is
it's
an
environment
in
which
you
are
able
to
have
figures
like
a
degen
right,
it's
decentralized,
it's
unregulated!
B
We
try
to
appropriate
this
idea
of
a
degen
and
bring
it
into
the
level
of
community
building
and
the
idea
of
the
neodysian
army
came
from
our
great
leader,
aussie
mandias
who's
in
the
audience
today
and
he
per
request
of
the
new
york
corps.
Members
said
this
was
back
in
late
may
and
if
you
have
been
around,
you
know
that
that
was
a
very
nascent
stage
within
for
the
new
york
community.
We
didn't
have
a
lot
of
social
media
attraction.
We
didn't
have
a
lot
of
telegram
activity.
B
B
So
that's
where
the
idea
of
the
army
comes
about,
and
we
wanted
to
take
this
spirit
or
attitude
of
being
dj.
You
know
being
a
little
bit.
Edgy
a
little
bit
dangerous,
a
little
bit
mischievous
and
bring
it
into
the
community
building
aspect.
So
if
we
said
earlier
on,
the
djinn
is
someone
who
apes
in
you
could
say
that
for
the
near
degen,
what
it
means
is
that
you
are
someone
who
apes
in
into
community
building
to
give
a
little
description
of
its
history.
How
it
started
was
we
had
this
idea
in
late?
B
May
we
put
out
an
application
form,
we
said:
nier
wants
you.
Do
you
want
to
be
a
new
dj
and
we'll
pay
you
in
near?
We
asked
some
silly
questions
like?
Are
you
a
degenerate?
Are
you
a
simp?
What
kind
of
contributions
can
you
make
to
the
new
community
we
took
about?
Now?
We
have
about
256
applicants,
we
hand
picked
and
interviewed
all
some
of
the
people
that
we
thought
were
promising
and
we
came
up
to.
B
B
We
have
a
structure
now
where
we
have
a
degen
dao,
where
we,
you
can
request
payout,
we're
funded
through
the
near
foundation,
and
we
have
a
council,
including
myself,
cronier,
wilson
and
poke
who
each
are
leaders
for
specific
platform
activities
like
reddit,
youtube,
twitter
and
a
telegram.
B
So
I
all
of
these
metrics,
if
you
are
interested,
are
on
the
governance
forum,
so
I
will
not
go
into
that
too
deeply,
but
I
do
want
to
characterize
the
near
legion
army
and
its
kind
of
contributions
or
added
value
in
two
ways.
The
first
way
is
that
it
is
near's
community
on
tap,
and
I
have
to
give
a
shout
out
to
david
because
he's
the
one
who
gave
him
this
wording.
Thank
you
david.
B
This
is,
I
think
this
is
the
kind
of
value
that
the
near
dejan
army
brings
to
near.
I
mean
you
have
a
bunch
of
paid
shows
anywhere,
but
I
think
the
angle
that
we
take
is
that
we
have
about
50
people
who
know
near
really
well
they're,
super
enthusiastic
and
because
they're
globally
distributed
at
any
point
during
during
the
day,
I
can
say,
hey
guys.
B
Rev
finance
needs
some
memes
about
their
tvl,
hitting
100
million
and
within
15
minutes
I'll
get
five
names
and
they'll
be
on
refinance
twitter
right
or
you
have
a
live
stream.
You
know
italy
is
going
on
the
stream.
We
have
an
ama
they're
mobilized
immediately.
20
30
people
will
give
immediate
boost
of
visibility
on
social
media
for
any
launch
or
any
thing
that
needs
to
be
hyped
within
near.
So
that's
a
really
strong
added
value
that
I
believe
the
decision
army
brings
to
the
near
ecosystem.
B
And
then
the
second
characteristic
that
we've
also
kind
of
organically
solidified
over
the
months-
and
this
is
awarded
by
cronier
who's.
Another
council
member,
is
that
the
djinn
army
has
been
a
sort
of
sandbox
for
the
near
community.
It's
brought
out
community
leaders
and
new
community
incentives
and
initiatives.
B
So,
for
instance,
the
djin
army
started
out
with
you
know,
people
just
basic
token
holders
who
are
kind
of
interested
in
here
they
said
oh
yeah
hold
down.
You
know
I
hold
adam,
I
love
coins.
You
know
I
had
near
since
ico,
I'm
curious
about
this
program.
They
come
in
and
now
they
founded
guilds,
nia
silicon
craftsman,
myself,
I
founded
the
courseman
guild.
B
You
have
wizards
guild
kitchen
guild,
all
of
the
things
that
make
the
near
ecosystem
what
it
is
today.
On
the
community
side,
people
came
from
the
decision
army,
you
have
people
who
are
building
games
now
on
near
people
who
are
building
a
metaverse
for
near
they
came
from
the
decent
army,
they're
participating
in
different
dials
for
various
projects,
doing
community
management
and
all
of
these
people
came
from
the
decision
army
and
something
that
I,
for
example,
really
appreciate.
B
Is,
for
instance,
there
is
a
team
within
the
decent
army
called
near
degen
syndicate
and
they
create
tutorials.
They
have
a
youtube
channel
and
now
and
they
spur
out.
They
made
a
team
from
the
djinn
army,
and
now
they
have
a
physical
office
where
they
live
like
they.
This
is
their
full-time
job.
Now
I
don't
even
have
an
office
and
they
have
an
office
with
the
work
they
do
for
near
and
there's,
for
instance,
wizard
guild
founded
by
zardos.
He
he
and
his
wife
jana.
B
They
sponsored
a
local
car
racing
event
in
their
hometown,
used
as
wizard
guild,
and
they
taught
people
about
near
protocol.
I
mean
these
are
things
that
I
would
never
have
expected
four
months
ago,
and
this
is
beautiful
that
they
naturally
spur
out
of
what
we
try
to
do.
B
So,
coming
back
to
the
original
question,
which
is
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
near
teacher,
I
kind
of
want
to
come
back
to
the
original
list
of
qualities
that
I
had
for
what
it.
What
does
it
mean
to
be
a
crypto
degen
and
for
me
the
two
focal
points
are
humor
and
lightness.
So
you
have
to
think
about
the
fact
that
someone
who
calls
themselves
a
degenerate.
B
That's
that's
really
hilarious
to
me,
and
there
is
this
lightness
because
you're
able
to
laugh
and
adhesion,
so
a
dejan
is
someone
who
knows
that
you
can
do
100x
one
day
and
the
market
can
crash
tomorrow
and
you
can
lose
it
all
and
they're
able
to
laugh
at
the
situation
and
also
laugh
at
themselves
right.
There
is
a
lightheartedness
to
their
attitude,
and
for
me
this,
what
this
comes
to
in
my
in
my
reflection,
the
dejan
army
has
taught
me
something
about
community
building,
which
is
that
there
has
to
be
joy.
B
You
have
to
induce
joyousness
humor
and
lightness
are
fundamental
to
being
able
to
enjoy
something
right.
I
remember
one
day
we
were
just
talking
all
among
us
within
our
telegram
group
and
someone
a
member
said:
hey
guys,
I
don't
know
any
of
you
guys,
but
you
guys
really
make
me
laugh,
and
I
really
love
this
community
and
now
that
I
think
about
it.
It's
really
surreal,
because
it's
so
true,
I
don't
know
half
of
these
people's
names.
I
don't
know
their
faces.
I've
I
haven't
heard
their
voices,
but
it's
true.
B
So
I
don't
think
I'll
have
I'll
go
so
much
into
djs
2.0
we're
evolving
we're
restructuring,
but
something
that
I
kind
of
want
to
leave
behind
for
myself
and
guide
the
way
that
we're
moving
forward
with
the
legions,
but
also
the
near
community
as
a
whole.
Is
that
near
is
getting
a
lot
of
market
traction.
We
have
100
million
dollars
pouring
into
our
ecosystem.
B
Our
number
is
going
to
keep
going
up,
we're
going
to
have
a
blooming,
defy
an
nft
scene,
we're
going
to
be
a
great
chain
and
with
more
money
and
more
value
comes
a
lot
of
heaviness
right,
there's
so
much
money
involved,
there's
so
much
seriousness
we
need
to
institutionalize.
We
have
to
systemize,
we
have
to
centralize
and
something
that
I
want
to
kind
of
leave.
B
As
a
reminder
for
myself
and
for
near
in
general,
is,
let's
not
forget
what
makes
cryptocrypto,
which
is
this
kind
of
humorous
aspect,
this
playfulness
being
able
to
joke
about
and
have
fun
with
it
and
that's
kind
of
what
I
want
to
leave
with
you
and
there's
this
old
korean
thing,
or
maybe
it's
from
confucius.
I'm
not
sure
you
cannot
someone
who
try.
Hearts
cannot
be
someone
who
is
lucky
and
someone
who
is
lucky
cannot
be
someone
who
enjoys
what
they
do.
