Oh I'm aware of Web3. I've been invested in the space since 2018 but now I'm actually trying to get a job as a blockchain developer. Personally, I'm invested in Chainlink as the tools are essential for the industry to function. To give an example I'm making a simple betting site with a theme from a mobile game I play daily (Fire Emblem Heroes) for my little portfolio project now and this thing can't function without Chainlink. I'm need an oracle to transmit the API data to my contract, I use their price feed data to determine the minimum cost of entry, and I plan to integrate their Keepers functionality to automate opening and closing polls and triggering payouts. The best way to learn something is to try it out yourself I suppose, and when you do, holy cow do you see the value in them.

In any case, I see you're excited about OMI so I was interested to see what it was about.

Right on. The reason I'm bullish on VeVe/OMI is because of the team behind VeVe as well as their partnerships. For example, they have the license for D.C., Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, U.S. Postal Service, Back to the Future, and a ton more.

Their head of licensing is Al Kahn who is a billionaire who made his fortune by licensing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Pokemon. He's the one who licensed Pokemon and brought it from Japan to America. In fact, he's the one who changed the name from Pocket Monsters (the name it was called in Japan). He's the one who got the Pokemon cartoon made and got it to air on TV etc. He's in the licensing hall of fame, and he basically came out of retirement to work on VeVe.

The CEO of VeVe is David Yu who runs some gaming/collectibles shops in New Zealand. David Yu is like the Al Kahn of New Zealand, and he's the one who brought Pokemon to New Zealand.

The fact that a company like Disney licensed its IP to VeVe shows how vetted the team is and how much Disney believes in this, IMO. Disney is also building its own Metaverse, and the rumor/speculation is that it will be linked up to the VeVe-Verse in some way.

VeVe is also rumored to have the Pokemon license in some form as well, but that hasn't been announced/confirmed yet. But everyone thinks they have it since they have Al Kahn and David Yu working on this. If they do have Pokemon, it likely won't be announced/launched until the VeVe app and web platform are stable enough to handle massive traffic, have the cash out option, etc.
