Cool,
so
my
name
is
sasha
and
I'm
working
on
a
human
guilt
with
with
vlad,
and
so
the
first
version
of
the
slides
I
created
was
just
bunch
of
text
and
really
boring.
I
I
sent
it
for
vlad
to
review
and
he
trusted
so
today
I'm
gonna
mostly
do
video.
It
will
be
like
very
light
on
slides
and
a
lot
heavier
on
interactive
content
and
interactive
content.
B
I'm
going
to
show
today
will
be
games
on
year
we're
working
today
with
roughly
20
25
26
games
and
we're
going
to
show
today
the
video
that
has
a
lot
of
them
kind
of
showcased,
so
at
human
build
at
human
guilt.
We
believe
that
every
human
can
be
rewarded
for
bringing
their
creations
to
the
world
through
web
3..
So
you
can
think
that
essentially
on
the
internet,
like
virtual
world
platforms
like
roblox
or
minecraft
in
last
10
years,
unleashed
a
lot
of
creativity.
B
So
that
was
a
good
thing,
but
they
didn't
actually
enable
people
who
create
content
to
get
paid,
and
so
the
big
promise
of
web
3
is
actually
combine.
The
creativity
that
we
saw
on
the
internet,
the
last
10
years,
but
also
with
opportunity
for
the
people
who
create
those
things
to
actually
get
paid,
and
so
that's
what
we
do
at
human
guild
and
quick
slides
for
today
would
be
why
gaming
is
important
for
for
like
near
why
we
focus
on
gaming
quite
a
bit
where
gaming
is
today
selected
showcase.
B
So
gaming
is
actually
a
huge
market
at
this
point
in
time
it's
at
150
billion
dollars,
it's
bigger
than
movies
and
music
combined,
and
we
believe
that
actually
blockchain
will
be
one
of
the
next
kind
of
technological
platforms
associated
with
this
big
market.
Although
it's
very
early
so,
as
you
know,
gaming
started
with
arcades.
B
People
were
playing
arcades
for
a
couple
centuries,
but
the
gaming
related
arcades
happened
in
early
70s.
The
big
one
was
atarius
punk
and
we
had
consoles.
There
was
a
battle
of
consoles
throughout
80s
and
90s
in
countries
like
where
I'm
from
the
battle
was
in
90s
and
2000s.
There
was
a
delay,
then
pc
and
single-player
games
came
together
throughout
90s.
B
That
was
a
new
way
to
kind
of
experience
games
where
people
don't
need
to
play
up
front,
but
the
games
are
monetized
through
in-game
currents,
in-game
purchases,
sorry
or
through
ads,
and
so
then
you
had
blockchain
and
so
blockchain
is
very,
very
very
early
trend
for
the
for.
For
for
gaming,
blockchain
gaming
actually
struggled
quite
a
bit
the
the
story
of
2018
2020.
When
I
was
talking
to
a
lot
of
game
studios
in
blockchain
was
a
story
of
struggle.
B
It
was
very
very
hard
to
to
actually
get
the
game
and
publish
it
because
it
was
very
hard
to
fundraise,
so
it's
very
hard
to
promote
it
and
so
majority
of
the
games
throughout
the
cycle.
Kind
of
didn't
survive
actually
and
everything
changed
kind
of
like
this
year
with
with
xc
succeeding.
Actually,
it
opened
up
market
for
a
lot
of
people,
and
so
I
think
in
the
next
two
three
years,
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
more
complex
games
on
on
on
chain
or
partially
on
chain
where
gaming
is
today.
B
B
B
So
there
are
25
million
players
right
now,
which
is
huge
for
blockchain,
but
in
a
grand
scheme
of
things
it's
still
kind
of
peanuts
for
the
for
the
gaming
overall
and
also
it's
the
best
time
to
be
in
space
because,
historically
being
indie
game
developer
was
very
challenging
and
right
now
the
state
of
the
gaming
is
such
that,
even
if
you're,
indie
or
mid-core
or
hardcore
game
developer,
you
actually
can
get
funding.
If
you're
a
hardcore
game
developer,
you
go
to
asia
for
funding.
B
If
you
do
mid
core,
you
go
to
us
for
funding.
If
you're
indie,
you
actually
go
to
apple
and
google
for
funding,
and
so
it's
actually
really
really
the
best
time
to
be
in
gaming
is
today.
That's
also
why
it's
very
hard
to
convince
people
to
consider
web
3,
because,
given
its
best
time
to
be
in
gaming,
also,
it's
a
huge
opportunity
cost
to
actually
get
people
to
consider
the
new
technological
platform
and
also
something
to
mention
playstation
5
is
the
fastest
gaming
fastest
selling
gaming
console
of
all
time.
B
In
terms
of
gaming,
so
we
work
with
25
or
26
games
right
now,
some
of
them
are
play
to
earn
games.
We
have
some
gaming
platforms,
we
have
virtual
worlds,
we
have
trading
cards,
we
have
avatars
kind
of
like
emerging
category
for
veneer.
At
least
we
have
a
lot
of
hinges
as
well,
so
we
go
to
game
jumps,
we
participate
there
and
we
bring
people
who
are
curious
about
web3
and
build
games
together
with
them.
B
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
B
Yeah,
so
this
is
like
actually
really
emotional
for
me,
because
we've
been
working
with
this
teams
through,
like
really
hard
times
in
2019
and
2020.
It's
like
really
awesome
to
see
some
of
this
coming
together
and
now
I'll
slowly.
Okay,
like
sorry,
very
quickly,
go
through
like
what
we
do
at
human
guild,
so
at
human
guilt.
So
our
mission,
as
I
mentioned,
we
want
every
human
to
be
rewarded
for
bringing
their
creations
to
the
world,
and
that
could
be
musician
could
be
artists
could
be
game.
Developer
could
be
game.
B
We
are
at
900
people
roughly
in
our
discord.
We
have
much
smaller
than
900
people
active
community.
Obviously
because
people
have
limited
attention,
but
we
hang
out
in
virtual
worlds.
We
get
to
know
each
other
we're
trying
to
build
this
culture
of
helping
each
other
as
a
community,
and
we
also
have
dao.
So
we
don't
actively
market
our
dao.
B
We
don't
really
advertise
it,
because
we
do
not
want
to
bring
people
into
our
community
who
do
things
for
like
money
so,
but
but
we
do
tell
people
when
we
work
with
creative
people
that
we
do
have
this
resource
available
to
them.
So
you
can
always
kind
of
find
out
by
talking
to
us
about
this,
and
also
we
have
some
content
so
for
people
who,
like
more
crypto,
curious,
don't
know
where
to
start,
we
have
podcasts
we're
going
to
be
developing
our
youtube
channel.
B
We're
going
to
be
putting
open
sourcing
is
essentially
a
lot
of
playbook
for
how
to
build
games
in
incremental
fashion
with
the
community
how
to
tie
economy
back
to
the
community.
Why
dao
is
important
how
to
launch
talking
with
daos?
Why
on-chin
race
is
is
better
a
lot
of
times,
so
that's
coming
to
youtube
and
then
are
we
also
producing
some
of
the
game?
B
B
B
B
We
do
weekly
hangouts
in
the
virtual
space,
we're
doing
monthly
hangouts
in
the
meat
space
in
san
francisco
and
we're
trying
to
actually
encourage
other
people
to
start
doing
it
in
other
cities
yeah
in
in
us,
for
now
we're
probably
going
to
cover
portland,
seattle
and
nla,
but
we
we're
looking
for
people
to
help
us
do
it
in
other
cities
and
online.
You
can
find
information,
as
I
mentioned,
on
on
podcast
applications
as
well
as
youtube,
and
if
you
want
to
work
us,
you
can
join
our
discord
or
talk
to
us
about
our
dao.
