Richard Carthon: Hello, everyone, welcome to another episode of crypto current, your host here, Richard Carthon, and today I have a guest all the

00:01:19:16 – 00:01:20:26

way out in Perth,

00:01:20:28 – 00:01:25:00

Richard Carthon: Australia, working on an amazing NFT project that you need to learn more

00:01:25:02 – 00:01:25:27

about. We’ll have our

00:01:26:01 – 00:01:27:01

Richard Carthon: opportunity to have that

00:01:27:03 – 00:01:28:12

in your hands, hopefully real

00:01:28:14 – 00:01:30:06

Richard Carthon: soon. We have Tim

00:01:30:16 – 00:01:32:18

with the amazing

00:01:32:20 – 00:01:35:05

Richard Carthon: and incredible chronicle that I own. How are you doing today?

00:01:36:03 – 00:01:40:27

Tim Glover: I’m doing very well for late night where I am afraid to be having fun.

00:01:41:24 – 00:01:43:22

Richard Carthon: Well, I appreciate you staying late for us

00:01:44:03 – 00:01:45:11

Richard Carthon: as we start to learn more

00:01:45:13 – 00:01:49:27

Richard Carthon: about everything you have going on with Chronicle first one to learn more about, you can give us some background on yourself.

00:01:51:07 – 00:01:57:00

Richard Carthon: You know, some background on myself. And I guess kind of how it relates to Chronicle. What we’re looking to do

00:01:58:00 – 00:02:02:04

Richard Carthon: is that I come from a superfan background.

00:02:03:00 – 00:02:05:08

Richard Carthon: Myself and some of the team members within

00:02:05:10 – 00:02:07:03

Richard Carthon: Chronicle back in

00:02:07:05 – 00:02:08:18

Richard Carthon: 2014 kind of

00:02:09:18 – 00:02:12:03

Richard Carthon: caught wind of this

00:02:12:05 – 00:02:17:11

Richard Carthon: rumor that Universal Pictures confirms, which was, Hey, we’re going to be doing another Jurassic Park

00:02:17:13 – 00:02:19:21

Richard Carthon: film finally, after this long

00:02:19:23 – 00:02:24:02

Richard Carthon: hiatus. So it’s like 11 12 years since since the third one,

00:02:24:04 – 00:02:25:18

Richard Carthon: and my

00:02:25:20 – 00:02:26:09

Richard Carthon: friend Jack

00:02:26:11 – 00:02:28:05

Richard Carthon: and I basically got

00:02:28:17 – 00:02:36:24

Richard Carthon: together and created this sort of in the world digital experience for fans around the world to connect. And we just put it online and live

00:02:36:26 – 00:02:39:22

Richard Carthon: and didn’t really say who was behind

00:02:39:24 – 00:02:43:09

Richard Carthon: it. We just knocked something off and put this thing live

00:02:43:29 – 00:02:44:17

Richard Carthon: before we

00:02:44:19 – 00:02:50:06

Richard Carthon: knew it. Kind of the Jurassic community sort of found it online. Twitter started to explode,

00:02:51:03 – 00:02:52:27

Richard Carthon: and at this point, every

00:02:52:29 – 00:02:55:15

Richard Carthon: single sort of entertainment news

00:02:55:17 – 00:02:56:15

Richard Carthon: outlet was kind of

00:02:56:25 – 00:02:58:01

Richard Carthon: hungry for any

00:02:58:03 – 00:02:59:09

Richard Carthon: kind of news

00:02:59:18 – 00:03:02:24

Richard Carthon: that they could get about this new and upcoming movie. Everyone was trying to

00:03:02:26 – 00:03:04:11

Richard Carthon: find out who it was

00:03:04:13 – 00:03:06:14

Richard Carthon: going to be in and what the plot details were going

00:03:06:16 – 00:03:07:01

Richard Carthon: to be.

00:03:07:23 – 00:03:15:12

Richard Carthon: And so some of the media outlets got ahold of this website and sort of thought it was the real deal from from Universal

00:03:15:14 – 00:03:17:24

Richard Carthon: Pictures and before you knew it.

00:03:18:24 – 00:03:21:18

Richard Carthon: Universal actually had formally reached out to us because Colin

00:03:21:20 – 00:03:23:03

Richard Carthon: Trevorrow, the film

00:03:23:05 – 00:03:24:04

Richard Carthon: director, saw it and

00:03:24:06 – 00:03:25:14

Richard Carthon: really liked it. And so,

00:03:25:29 – 00:03:27:28

Richard Carthon: you know, kind of went from this sort of geeky

00:03:28:00 – 00:03:30:04

Richard Carthon: fan moment to creating this

00:03:30:06 – 00:03:31:01

Richard Carthon: website,

00:03:31:03 – 00:03:32:14

Richard Carthon: which can ties

00:03:32:16 – 00:03:33:04

Richard Carthon: in all of

00:03:33:06 – 00:03:33:21

Richard Carthon: the

00:03:35:01 – 00:03:35:28

Richard Carthon: film canon

00:03:36:00 – 00:03:36:19

Richard Carthon: if you like

00:03:37:29 – 00:03:40:09

Tim Glover: and went from

00:03:40:18 – 00:03:43:09

Tim Glover: to actually being to the other, the much

00:03:43:11 – 00:03:44:03

Tim Glover: larger project

00:03:44:05 – 00:03:45:10

Tim Glover: in an official capacity with

00:03:45:12 – 00:03:45:29

Tim Glover: Universal.

00:03:46:01 – 00:03:47:17

Tim Glover: So they

00:03:47:19 – 00:03:50:07

Tim Glover: flew us out to L.A., got to meet the team, and

00:03:50:09 – 00:03:51:25

Tim Glover: basically our position at

00:03:51:27 – 00:03:52:20

Tim Glover: this point was to

00:03:52:22 – 00:03:54:19

Tim Glover: represent the fans

00:03:54:21 – 00:04:01:22

Tim Glover: by creating a digital, sort of interactive, immersive experience before for the marketing

00:04:01:24 – 00:04:08:28

Tim Glover: of the movie. We did that in 2014 2015. Obviously, everyone

00:04:09:00 – 00:04:11:07

Tim Glover: knows how successful Jurassic World ended up being.

00:04:12:24 – 00:04:13:29

Tim Glover: Some of the extremely

00:04:14:01 – 00:04:19:00

Tim Glover: successful and I don’t mean, to be fair, I think it kind of exceeded the studio’s expectations

00:04:19:02 – 00:04:20:16

Tim Glover: as well. And straight

00:04:20:18 – 00:04:21:12

Tim Glover: away, they

00:04:21:15 – 00:04:26:04

Tim Glover: pretty much announced two more sequels one of them. The second one

00:04:26:06 – 00:04:28:18

Tim Glover: that we worked on, as well as Jurassic World Fallen

00:04:28:20 – 00:04:32:21

Tim Glover: Kingdom. And for that, we basically again

00:04:32:23 – 00:04:34:18

Tim Glover: got a team together and created sort of this

00:04:34:20 – 00:04:35:29

Tim Glover: digital, interactive

00:04:36:01 – 00:04:41:24

Tim Glover: storytelling experience behind Claire Dearing Dinosaur Protection Group, if anyone’s familiar with the

00:04:41:26 – 00:04:42:11

Tim Glover: movie.

00:04:42:28 – 00:04:46:04

Tim Glover: So basically, we did this whole Save the Dinosaurs campaign

00:04:46:06 – 00:04:46:21

Tim Glover: online,

00:04:48:06 – 00:04:52:03

Tim Glover: so that was really exciting. And in between those years as

00:04:52:05 – 00:04:52:28

Tim Glover: well, we

00:04:54:07 – 00:04:56:15

Tim Glover: did a lot of sort of consulting

00:04:56:17 – 00:04:58:00

Tim Glover: work with Universal

00:04:58:02 – 00:04:59:26

Tim Glover: as well anything from like the Lego

00:04:59:28 – 00:05:00:29

Series to Toy

00:05:01:01 – 00:05:07:04

Tim Glover: Theory merchandise, just basically they have a lot of ideas and they just wanted some some feedback on.

00:05:07:06 – 00:05:09:15

So it’s kind of in this context

00:05:09:17 – 00:05:11:22

Tim Glover: of things, having having done a lot

00:05:11:24 – 00:05:13:06

of work with a major

00:05:13:08 – 00:05:14:10

Tim Glover: film studio before

00:05:14:19 – 00:05:15:04

on a

00:05:15:06 – 00:05:21:19

Tim Glover: much beloved brands, you know, we go with this mega mega franchise that we’re like, Well,

00:05:23:14 – 00:05:23:29

why?

00:05:24:01 – 00:05:30:10

Tim Glover: Why not some sort of apply this to other brands and other franchises and represent fandoms

00:05:31:00 – 00:05:31:16

Richard Carthon: with digital

00:05:31:18 – 00:05:36:27

Richard Carthon: collectibles and in kind of the NFT world? And that’s kind of the basis behind the formation of Chronicle.

00:05:37:29 – 00:06:05:28

Richard Carthon: Wow, so robust background getting to work with Jurassic World, create these immersive experiences, and, you know, it’s so timely with just everything that’s going on with the Metaverse and with Facebook’s big push to now go into that and with everything going with NFT space, sounds like you’re very well positioned to be able to really take care and to build upon what is becoming

00:06:06:04 – 00:06:07:21

Richard Carthon: the new reality for

00:06:07:23 – 00:06:08:08

Richard Carthon: for the

00:06:08:10 – 00:06:09:24

Richard Carthon: internet. So really quickly, just

00:06:09:26 – 00:06:11:08

Richard Carthon: can you give us a quick background of like, how

00:06:11:10 – 00:06:12:21

Richard Carthon: do you even learn about

00:06:12:23 – 00:06:22:29

Richard Carthon: the crypto blockchain space? And then like once you found out about it, how did that kind of shift the immersive experiences that you provide, like universal into now more of this crypto landscape?

00:06:25:04 – 00:06:25:25

Richard Carthon: Yeah, so it’s

00:06:25:27 – 00:06:27:10

Richard Carthon: all all about timing, kind of,

00:06:27:12 – 00:06:29:17

Richard Carthon: I guess. I actually got into character.

00:06:31:14 – 00:06:42:00

Richard Carthon: In the in the 2017 bull run, I got into it in September. And if anyone remembers that period, I was really just curious because I think the week I got into crypto was when the China.

00:06:42:15 – 00:06:43:03

Richard Carthon: And so

00:06:43:05 – 00:06:43:28

Richard Carthon: I think bitcoin went

00:06:44:00 – 00:06:45:19

Richard Carthon: down and then we went back up.

00:06:45:21 – 00:06:48:00

Richard Carthon: And yeah, I got into it then.

00:06:48:02 – 00:06:49:04

Richard Carthon: And I think surely at

00:06:49:06 – 00:06:49:27

Richard Carthon: that point, it

00:06:49:29 – 00:06:51:04

Richard Carthon: was kind of like

00:06:51:06 – 00:06:54:06

Richard Carthon: how everyone gets into it. If you see stuff online here, father,

00:06:55:03 – 00:06:56:21

Richard Carthon: it kind of dive into

00:06:56:23 – 00:07:12:12

Richard Carthon: it. And then all of the learning about the Satoshi Nakamoto, the white paper and all of that stuff kind of comes later and you catch up and do all of that. So yeah, certainly being around the space since twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen and I’ve been absolutely

00:07:12:20 – 00:07:13:10

Richard Carthon: obsessed

00:07:13:12 – 00:07:14:14

Richard Carthon: ever since. I think,

00:07:15:06 – 00:07:15:28

Richard Carthon: you know, I think,

00:07:16:12 – 00:07:30:22

Richard Carthon: yeah, it is. It is, it is. It’s kind of like the new evolution, I guess, of where technology’s heading. And we really felt like there’s a big opportunity here with digital collectibles, not just what they can do for fans,

00:07:31:08 – 00:07:31:23

Richard Carthon: but what

00:07:31:25 – 00:07:32:25

Richard Carthon: they can do for brands as well.

00:07:33:28 – 00:07:42:27

Richard Carthon: Definitely, and, you know, being in the space for four years and being able to see both first bull market in a bear market and then back into another bull.

00:07:44:26 – 00:07:52:00

Richard Carthon: We talk about timing, we talk about how different things were kind of being built over the course of those four years, and one of the

00:07:52:23 – 00:07:55:00

Richard Carthon: big topics right now is our NAFTA.

00:07:55:17 – 00:08:10:08

Richard Carthon: And in another large topic at hand is mass adoption, like how even though people are now aware of crypto, are aware of entities, all this stuff, most people still aren’t involved. Most of the world is not involved in the world of cryptocurrency because it’s not very easy to get on

00:08:10:10 – 00:08:11:26

Richard Carthon: board, but I know that Chronicle is

00:08:11:28 – 00:08:17:12

Richard Carthon: directly trying to help solve that. Can you kind of explain what it is and how you’re going about to solve that challenge?

00:08:18:22 – 00:08:19:21

Richard Carthon: 100 percent.

00:08:20:13 – 00:08:31:07

Richard Carthon: So what was quite interesting, but with Chronicle and probably how it differs to a lot of other projects is that early this year when we kind of had this idea about,

00:08:31:16 – 00:08:32:18

Richard Carthon: you know, tying in our

00:08:32:20 – 00:08:35:22

Richard Carthon: experience with with the world of digital collectibles, we kind of phase

00:08:36:08 – 00:08:36:23

Richard Carthon: one of the

00:08:36:25 – 00:08:37:18

Richard Carthon: first things that we did was

00:08:37:21 – 00:08:38:25

Richard Carthon: we actually had a chat with some of the

00:08:38:27 – 00:08:41:15

Richard Carthon: studios over in Los Angeles and were like, Hey,

00:08:42:07 – 00:08:44:14

Richard Carthon: you’re getting a bit of intel. Are you looking at

00:08:44:16 – 00:08:46:01

Richard Carthon: this space, which

00:08:46:03 – 00:08:48:03

Richard Carthon: they were? I think everyone

00:08:48:06 – 00:08:50:21

Richard Carthon: was at the point when Beatles piece sold for $60

00:08:50:23 – 00:08:51:08

Richard Carthon: million.

00:08:52:03 – 00:08:54:28

Richard Carthon: And you know what? What do you want to see

00:08:55:00 – 00:08:56:21

Richard Carthon: in the ideal

00:08:56:23 – 00:08:57:08

Richard Carthon: partner?

00:08:57:12 – 00:08:58:19

Richard Carthon: What, what? What kind of

00:08:58:21 – 00:09:00:20

Richard Carthon: features of Office

00:09:00:24 – 00:09:01:09

Richard Carthon: of a

00:09:01:20 – 00:09:10:25

Richard Carthon: Partner platform would you be interested in seeing? And so, you know, some of the feedback we were getting was, you know, we want stuff that represents the fans, you know, kind

00:09:10:27 – 00:09:11:17

Richard Carthon: of can be

00:09:11:19 – 00:09:22:29

Richard Carthon: accessed by people outside crypto. You know, Tony to understand what the theorem is or get registered on that on an exchange or have two hands or like a MetaMask wallet like something is a little bit

00:09:23:01 – 00:09:24:08

Richard Carthon: more sort of controlled,

00:09:24:10 – 00:09:25:03

Richard Carthon: centralized

00:09:25:11 – 00:09:26:25

Richard Carthon: and something that’s really

00:09:26:27 – 00:09:28:00

Richard Carthon: easy. Like what we’re

00:09:28:02 – 00:09:28:18

Richard Carthon: talking

00:09:29:26 – 00:09:30:11

Richard Carthon: about,

00:09:30:13 – 00:09:32:17

Richard Carthon: parents level is a day trying to get

00:09:32:19 – 00:09:38:19

Richard Carthon: them involved in it. So we basically took that feedback and said, Okay, what this is, this is what product is going to be.

00:09:39:16 – 00:09:40:01

Richard Carthon: And so

00:09:40:03 – 00:09:40:26

Richard Carthon: we’re basically on a

00:09:40:28 – 00:09:42:06

Richard Carthon: mission to create

00:09:42:27 – 00:09:45:25

Richard Carthon: the world’s easiest NFT platform. Chronicle is

00:09:45:27 – 00:09:47:11

Richard Carthon: targeted both to

00:09:47:15 – 00:09:48:14

Richard Carthon: its crypto users,

00:09:48:16 – 00:09:50:02

Richard Carthon: but mainly towards

00:09:50:04 – 00:09:54:22

Richard Carthon: the people that are like, What’s an NFT or how do I get my first NFT?

00:09:54:24 – 00:09:58:20

Richard Carthon: We want chronicle to be to be for them. And so things like

00:09:58:22 – 00:09:59:07

Richard Carthon: email

00:09:59:09 – 00:10:00:19

Richard Carthon: address sign up for one click

00:10:00:21 – 00:10:06:01

Richard Carthon: registration with your Google account, purchasing a digital collectible with a credit card,

00:10:07:21 – 00:10:15:11

Richard Carthon: you know, having having all of its digital collectibles managed for you in a wallet by Chronicle. These are the kind of things that we’ve been looking to create first

00:10:16:03 – 00:10:16:18

Richard Carthon: and then

00:10:16:20 – 00:10:32:19

Richard Carthon: slowly as we’re kind of onboarding millions of fans around the world through through the brands that we’re partnering with. Hopefully, you know, we’ll be looking at other ways to sort of bring up some of the crypto adoption. So things like being able to purchase a collectible with crypto as

00:10:32:21 – 00:10:33:06

Richard Carthon: well

00:10:34:04 – 00:10:35:10

Richard Carthon: as those kind of initiatives.

00:10:36:07 – 00:10:41:05

Richard Carthon: Yeah, I want to unpack that just a few more steps simply because for for most people who are listening to the show, you’re very

00:10:41:07 – 00:10:42:09

Richard Carthon: aware of what

00:10:42:11 – 00:10:44:21

Richard Carthon: it takes to get an NFT right now, especially through

00:10:44:23 – 00:10:46:07

Richard Carthon: most landscapes. You go on

00:10:46:09 – 00:10:48:23

Richard Carthon: to a certain platform, you typically get Ether, then

00:10:48:25 – 00:10:50:08

Richard Carthon: send it to some sort

00:10:50:10 – 00:10:54:03

Richard Carthon: of wallet, whether it’s MetaMask or something else. You then go to a

00:10:54:06 – 00:10:55:14

Richard Carthon: place like in OpenSea,

00:10:55:16 – 00:10:56:03

Richard Carthon: our arable, et

00:10:56:05 – 00:10:57:05

Richard Carthon: cetera, and then

00:10:57:07 – 00:10:58:21

Richard Carthon: you can make your purchases from

00:10:58:23 – 00:11:00:08

Richard Carthon: there. It’s a it’s a

00:11:00:10 – 00:11:09:27

Richard Carthon: lot of steps. It’s not extremely easy for a crypto novice or someone that’s brand new, just trying to get into the space. But there’s a couple of things that you brought up that immediately sparked my interest.

00:11:10:07 – 00:11:10:22

Richard Carthon: So you’re telling

00:11:10:24 – 00:11:14:24

Richard Carthon: me you can basically sign up online using an email address, you can still put a credit

00:11:14:26 – 00:11:15:23

Richard Carthon: card and you can

00:11:15:25 – 00:11:31:20

Richard Carthon: still have access to buying. These NFTs have to being stored on the native wallet as well. Kind of walk me through, let’s say, for both your brand new person coming into space and then for your crypto OGS who are like, Well, you know, do I own those keys? Like, how do I then send that in of other places, et cetera? Can you kind of walk me through that?

00:11:35:19 – 00:12:03:15

00:12:07:25 – 00:12:47:24

Richard Carthon: That’s right. So product, just just to be very clear and transparent as well. Chronicled from the outset is a centralized platform, and so users won’t be able to send their NFT outside of Chronicle. But then that’s kind of consistent with a lot of other similar like minded platforms like Twitter Feed and some of the other players in that space. And for those that are wondering, why is that the case that that feature is actually what gets us in with the brands in the first place? The brands want that feature because they want to ensure basically that their collectibles are being traded and ecosystem where they can kind of continue to collect royalties on secondary sales.

00:12:48:12 – 00:12:49:04

Richard Carthon: They’re also very

00:12:49:06 – 00:12:50:15

Richard Carthon: interested in being able to

00:12:50:17 – 00:12:52:02

Richard Carthon: sort of have an idea

00:12:52:04 – 00:12:54:28

Richard Carthon: of who’s interested in their brands, who’s interested in their

00:12:55:00 – 00:12:56:08

Richard Carthon: collectibles as well.

00:12:56:10 – 00:13:00:25

Richard Carthon: And so those kind of opportunities emerge. Yeah, so so basically,

00:13:02:14 – 00:13:09:26

Richard Carthon: for those that aren’t aware, we use the new protocol as our blockchain for the collectibles near protocol

00:13:09:28 – 00:13:11:05

have built a

00:13:11:15 – 00:13:13:04

Ethereum virtual machine called

00:13:13:06 – 00:13:17:04

Aurora, and that’s specifically what we’re using and the

00:13:17:06 – 00:13:20:15

Tim Glover: choice for that. Aside from the obvious

00:13:21:10 – 00:13:22:03

Richard Carthon: lower gas fees

00:13:22:05 – 00:13:22:21

Richard Carthon: compared to the

00:13:23:02 – 00:13:24:29

Richard Carthon: network is

00:13:25:01 – 00:13:28:05

Richard Carthon: is yeah, that basically there. Blockchain is carbon

00:13:28:07 – 00:13:30:01

Richard Carthon: neutral and that

00:13:30:17 – 00:13:35:16

Richard Carthon: becomes a very important conversation actually when we introduce Cronico to a lot of the brands.

00:13:36:05 – 00:13:36:20

Richard Carthon: One of

00:13:36:22 – 00:13:37:21

Richard Carthon: the very first conversations

00:13:37:23 – 00:13:38:19

Richard Carthon: gets brought up

00:13:39:18 – 00:13:40:03

Richard Carthon: is,

00:13:40:05 – 00:13:42:02

Richard Carthon: you know, about the energy

00:13:42:04 – 00:13:43:23

Richard Carthon: usage of blockchains,

00:13:44:04 – 00:13:47:20

Richard Carthon: and that’s been very good. There’s been a lot of PR around

00:13:47:22 – 00:13:51:22

Richard Carthon: that, I guess through the rise of entities and

00:13:51:24 – 00:13:54:07

Richard Carthon: us just having having that

00:13:54:09 – 00:13:55:24

Richard Carthon: slide in our text saying, Hey, we’re

00:13:55:26 – 00:13:57:12

Richard Carthon: eventually using the

00:13:57:14 – 00:14:00:12

Tim Glover: protocol and we’re on a carbon neutral network and

00:14:00:14 – 00:14:01:13

we’re looking

00:14:01:15 – 00:14:03:12

at sustainable and eco friendly ways

00:14:04:06 – 00:14:05:24

to to basically go

00:14:05:26 – 00:14:07:11

about our technology and business, which

00:14:07:13 – 00:14:11:24

which we are. You know that that sort of makes for some very good

00:14:11:26 – 00:14:15:17

Tim Glover: conversations, I think with a lot of the brands, which is just great and happy to

00:14:15:24 – 00:14:16:24

talk about that as well.

00:14:17:24 – 00:14:18:22

Tim Glover: So just just so

00:14:19:09 – 00:14:19:24

those

00:14:20:17 – 00:14:21:28

Richard Carthon: Palestinian kind of get a

00:14:22:00 – 00:14:22:15

Richard Carthon: picture

00:14:22:17 – 00:14:24:08

Richard Carthon: of what happened to chronicle when you buy an

00:14:24:10 – 00:14:24:25

Richard Carthon: NFT.

00:14:25:27 – 00:14:26:18

Richard Carthon: So when we team

00:14:26:20 – 00:14:28:00

Richard Carthon: up with the brand and our

00:14:28:02 – 00:14:36:12

Tim Glover: art department creates collectible and we get all of the approvals with the brands, we basically sanitize and put the collectible into the Chronicle store

00:14:36:16 – 00:14:39:12

where you know, where we’re setting variables like

00:14:39:25 – 00:14:42:02

Tim Glover: how many meetings of this collectible will there

00:14:42:04 – 00:14:43:19

Richard Carthon: be? Will it be a rare

00:14:43:21 – 00:14:45:19

Richard Carthon: or a common card or an epic or

00:14:45:21 – 00:14:46:13

Richard Carthon: legendary?

00:14:47:22 – 00:14:49:26

Richard Carthon: And what was the price point there?

00:14:51:03 – 00:14:51:24

Richard Carthon: At that point,

00:14:51:26 – 00:15:02:09

Tim Glover: though, they’re actually not minted onto the blockchain yet. We’ve kind of created Chronicle and in a way that when the user is at the purchase points and they’ve purchased the collectible,

00:15:02:20 – 00:15:03:15

it actually gets them

00:15:03:17 – 00:15:04:18

into in front of them on

00:15:04:20 – 00:15:05:05

the screen

00:15:05:28 – 00:15:07:22

and actually gets written onto the blockchain

00:15:07:24 – 00:15:11:00

at that point. So pretty, pretty interesting from user

00:15:11:02 – 00:15:13:18

experience, we’re going to see that little pop up an animation

00:15:14:12 – 00:15:16:07

happening. That’s that’s basically

00:15:16:09 – 00:15:16:24

how it’s done.

00:15:17:22 – 00:15:22:26

Richard Carthon: Got it, and thank you for making that distinction. So this is more centralized

00:15:22:28 – 00:15:28:04

Richard Carthon: platform, which helps with asking for the usability and quick

00:15:28:06 – 00:15:41:05

Richard Carthon: onboarding and some of what some larger brands potentially have been looking for. So I know that you have been working on quite a few things to help get this out to the market. I believe there are a couple of

00:15:41:07 – 00:15:41:28

Richard Carthon: announcements

00:15:42:18 – 00:15:49:09

Richard Carthon: that are coming into place, as well as far as users being able to see it on their phone and a couple of different ways. Can you talk more about that?

00:15:50:15 – 00:15:54:12

Tim Glover: Yeah, definitely. It’s just so so additionally, near very early on, I think we

00:15:54:14 – 00:15:55:12

recognize that

00:15:56:10 – 00:16:01:02

Tim Glover: greater than 50 percent of the audience and the traffic that was coming to Chronicle Live, coming from mobile phones, and

00:16:01:04 – 00:16:04:00

that was actually very exciting for us because we basically

00:16:04:02 – 00:16:04:21

Tim Glover: thought, wow,

00:16:04:23 – 00:16:05:24

you know, the

00:16:06:18 – 00:16:09:21

Tim Glover: trading and easy to use platform like Chronicle. One thing, but

00:16:10:07 – 00:16:11:08

the idea of sort of,

00:16:12:10 – 00:16:24:19

Tim Glover: you know, people being able to have collectibles in their pocket basically within a smartphone. We thought the opportunity was lost even if brands are at that point. And so we kind of made it a bit of a focus in the last few weeks alone

00:16:24:21 – 00:16:26:08

to get to the front of

00:16:26:26 – 00:16:29:28

Tim Glover: application and web mobile ready, which basically

00:16:30:00 – 00:16:33:20

means that on your smartphones, a smartphone

00:16:33:22 – 00:16:43:07

Richard Carthon: device using whatever you use Safari opens, you’ll be able to access the Chronicle platform and use it with all the same features as you would on your

00:16:43:09 – 00:16:44:03

Richard Carthon: desktop computer.

00:16:45:10 – 00:16:49:16

Richard Carthon: Sounds easy, but it does take a while to get it something as complicated as

00:16:49:18 – 00:16:51:12

Richard Carthon: chronicled kind of ready for a smartphone.

00:16:51:27 – 00:16:54:07

Richard Carthon: So that’s actually dropping on Monday,

00:16:54:18 – 00:16:56:10

Richard Carthon: November, the first set of leave. By the

00:16:56:12 – 00:16:59:06

Richard Carthon: time different hearing this session should have been

00:16:59:08 – 00:17:02:14

Richard Carthon: out for a few weeks. The other

00:17:02:16 – 00:17:03:10

Richard Carthon: thing, which is

00:17:03:12 – 00:17:05:04

Richard Carthon: a massive

00:17:05:06 – 00:17:09:00

Richard Carthon: win for us and this is kind of exclusive, I guess you’re hearing it

00:17:09:02 – 00:17:09:17

Richard Carthon: first

00:17:10:18 – 00:17:17:18

Richard Carthon: here is that about an hour ago, we were also approved on the Google Play Store, which was just a massive, massive

00:17:17:20 – 00:17:18:17

Richard Carthon: win for Chronicle.

00:17:19:05 – 00:17:33:21

Richard Carthon: So, you know, again, being able to get a app into the hands of users that they can have again, they can register, they can log in, they can purchase their collectibles, they can house their collectibles, all in an app on their smartphone.

00:17:34:10 – 00:17:35:14

Richard Carthon: It’s a really good thing

00:17:35:16 – 00:17:36:17

Richard Carthon: for us and for the brands,

00:17:37:07 – 00:17:52:21

Richard Carthon: no doubt. Congratulations on that. That is big news. Having experience in the startup world, getting approved on any major store, Apple, Google, what have you challenged? So it’s a time consuming process. Yes, very, very much so.

00:17:52:23 – 00:17:55:04

Richard Carthon: And having more ways that

00:17:55:06 – 00:17:57:19

Richard Carthon: people can immediately or you can get to your target audience,

00:17:57:26 – 00:17:59:03

Richard Carthon: especially realizing where they’re

00:17:59:05 – 00:18:06:13

Richard Carthon: coming from. Not so much desktop computer computers, but from their phones are going to be very powerful. So I’m excited to see what the growth is going to be

00:18:06:14 – 00:18:08:01

Richard Carthon: like and and how people pick

00:18:08:03 – 00:18:28:29

Richard Carthon: this up and start using this as you kind of take a step back and look at everything that has happened in 2021 being as bullish over years, it’s been in the crypto blockchain enough to defy everything space. What do you think? Is going to be one of the largest like opportunities in this space that not necessarily a lot

00:18:29:01 – 00:18:30:23

Richard Carthon: of people are paying attention to.

00:18:32:21 – 00:18:34:11

Richard Carthon: Yeah, so my my

00:18:34:13 – 00:18:36:06

Richard Carthon: gut feeling is that a lot of

00:18:36:17 – 00:18:39:06

Richard Carthon: the technology that we’re seeing, I think I think we all agree

00:18:39:08 – 00:18:42:23

Richard Carthon: that things like bitcoin are, say, a long

00:18:42:25 – 00:18:48:24

Richard Carthon: term wave and we will be to legitimized this year in the sense of, you know, governments taking trust

00:18:50:19 – 00:18:51:04

Richard Carthon: after being

00:18:51:06 – 00:18:51:21

Richard Carthon: approved

00:18:51:23 – 00:18:52:08

Richard Carthon: and whatnot.

00:18:53:12 – 00:18:55:24

Richard Carthon: I kind of, you know, and again,

00:18:56:01 – 00:18:57:13

Richard Carthon: looking at what Facebook is doing

00:18:57:15 – 00:19:00:05

Richard Carthon: with matter and the rise of the metaverse

00:19:00:18 – 00:19:01:12

Richard Carthon: and whatnot

00:19:02:02 – 00:19:13:22

Richard Carthon: that digital collectibles and NFTs like, I kind of am hoping that the direction that we’re going to go in is some kind of a uniform stance. Or, I guess, for interoperability.

00:19:13:24 – 00:19:14:15

Richard Carthon: I kind of

00:19:14:21 – 00:19:17:06

Richard Carthon: am hoping that’s that’s the way it will go, and I hope that

00:19:17:08 – 00:19:21:00

Richard Carthon: Chronicle will be a part of that, if not helpfully, to

00:19:21:26 – 00:19:22:14

Richard Carthon: kind of get the

00:19:22:16 – 00:19:24:02

Richard Carthon: sense that that’s going

00:19:24:04 – 00:19:25:08

Richard Carthon: to be the big thing.

00:19:25:10 – 00:19:27:09

Richard Carthon: And yes, I think that the Metaverse

00:19:27:11 – 00:19:28:01

Richard Carthon: is I think that they are

00:19:28:03 – 00:19:31:02

Richard Carthon: here to say, you know, I think just

00:19:31:11 – 00:19:33:24

Richard Carthon: looking at how successful something like Roblox as it

00:19:33:26 – 00:19:39:22

Richard Carthon: is right now is pretty insane. And you look at that generation, they’re going up with the metaverse kind of

00:19:39:24 – 00:19:47:06

Richard Carthon: think about generations ahead of us in some aspects. So yeah, certainly interoperability to be able to connect

00:19:47:24 – 00:19:48:09

Richard Carthon: different

00:19:49:11 – 00:19:53:25

Richard Carthon: metaverse is different wallets, realm connecting to Decentraland

00:19:53:27 – 00:19:54:26

Richard Carthon: and those kind of

00:19:54:28 – 00:19:55:23

Richard Carthon: opportunities

00:19:57:01 – 00:19:58:08

Richard Carthon: that for me is

00:19:59:01 – 00:20:00:15

Richard Carthon: mind blowing. And if we can

00:20:00:17 – 00:20:01:27

Richard Carthon: achieve that, I think that’s

00:20:02:11 – 00:20:04:07

Richard Carthon: yeah, and I’m very excited for the future.

00:20:05:00 – 00:20:20:16

Richard Carthon: I agree. I think, um, I mean, the numbers speak for themselves ever since the Facebook announcement of their. Move to focus on that versus all metaverse crypto projects have been exploding, I mean, Decentraland is up, I think, like a hundred fifty

00:20:20:24 – 00:20:22:27

Richard Carthon: percent and like the last 48 hours, which

00:20:22:29 – 00:20:30:11

Richard Carthon: is insane and a bunch of the other projects like Roblox and newer project like Block Topia, a bunch of them are surging right now.

00:20:30:13 – 00:20:33:22

Richard Carthon: And it’s because people recognize that that’s the future in the

00:20:33:24 – 00:20:59:23

Richard Carthon: kind of what we’re headed for. So thank you for putting that on everyone’s horizon. But you know, a couple of other things I just want to ask you. I like to ask all of our speakers to come on with all the information that you have right now. Um, and you go back to yourself when you first got started in the crypto blockchain space. What’s one or two pieces of advice that you’d give yourself as you like, kind of go and first learn about everything that’s going on within the crypto blockchain world?

00:21:02:15 – 00:21:03:21

Richard Carthon: Again, this is a fun question.

00:21:05:15 – 00:21:08:12

Richard Carthon: First, bits of please be patient.

00:21:09:26 – 00:21:10:16

Richard Carthon: Definitely, number

00:21:10:18 – 00:21:14:06

Richard Carthon: one, be patient, I think crypto things move

00:21:14:08 – 00:21:15:07

Richard Carthon: so fast.

00:21:17:16 – 00:21:22:26

Richard Carthon: Yeah, some, you know, sometimes you think something’s going to go up and it’s a little bit near panic to sell

00:21:22:28 – 00:21:24:04

Richard Carthon: and it rips off

00:21:24:06 – 00:21:26:08

Richard Carthon: from, you know, these kind of opportunities just be like,

00:21:27:11 – 00:21:29:27

Richard Carthon: be patient. And you can attribute that to hold,

00:21:29:29 – 00:21:30:14

Richard Carthon: I guess

00:21:30:20 – 00:21:34:05

Richard Carthon: HODL. But yeah, certainly don’t rush things.

00:21:34:07 – 00:21:36:00

Richard Carthon: I’ve learned to be very patient in this space.

00:21:36:02 – 00:21:38:07

Richard Carthon: So that’s that’s definitely the press one.

00:21:40:05 – 00:21:40:26

Richard Carthon: Another one I can

00:21:40:28 – 00:21:44:27

Richard Carthon: probably think of myself. If you don’t understand something,

00:21:45:17 – 00:21:47:17

Richard Carthon: don’t go into it. I know I

00:21:47:19 – 00:21:50:21

Richard Carthon: dabbled in things like leveraged markets and I’m like, I’m not

00:21:50:23 – 00:21:52:16

Richard Carthon: asking that again. Yeah.

00:21:52:19 – 00:21:55:08

Richard Carthon: So just stick to what you’re comfortable with.

00:21:57:08 – 00:21:58:26

Richard Carthon: Stick to sport if you’re knee.

00:22:03:23 – 00:22:06:14

Richard Carthon: Hey, did you lose connection or did I couldn’t tell?

00:22:08:09 – 00:22:09:28

Richard Carthon: But. Sorry.

00:22:12:08 – 00:22:12:23

Richard Carthon: The.

00:22:14:01 – 00:22:14:16

Richard Carthon: OK.

00:22:17:18 – 00:22:21:15

Richard Carthon: I’ll talk to you, I swear, I thought it was me because my camera thought before I was like, Oh no,

00:22:21:17 – 00:22:23:15

Richard Carthon: not again, because like.

00:22:27:06 – 00:22:27:21

Richard Carthon: You know.

00:22:32:18 – 00:22:33:03

Richard Carthon: Yes.

00:22:36:11 – 00:22:42:23

Richard Carthon: Yeah, so first piece of advice definitely be patient. Second piece of advice, I would say, is

00:22:44:09 – 00:22:44:24

Richard Carthon: don’t

00:22:44:26 – 00:22:46:08

Richard Carthon: go into something that

00:22:46:10 – 00:22:49:21

Richard Carthon: you don’t quite understand. Yeah, and I say

00:22:49:23 – 00:22:50:26

Richard Carthon: that in reference to myself

00:22:51:24 – 00:22:52:15

Richard Carthon: kind of

00:22:52:28 – 00:22:53:18

Richard Carthon: excited

00:22:53:20 – 00:22:55:13

Richard Carthon: with leveraged markets

00:22:55:15 – 00:22:56:00

Richard Carthon: and those kind of

00:22:56:02 – 00:22:56:17

Richard Carthon: things.

00:22:58:08 – 00:22:58:23

Richard Carthon: If you don’t

00:22:58:25 – 00:23:03:28

Richard Carthon: understand it, don’t try it because you might end up losing what you have to begin with, which is which is good.

00:23:04:00 – 00:23:07:01

Richard Carthon: So, yeah, definitely, definitely be patient.

00:23:07:08 – 00:23:08:15

Richard Carthon: Do your research a little bit.

00:23:09:03 – 00:23:11:09

Richard Carthon: Probably the two biggest classes,

00:23:12:24 – 00:23:13:09

Richard Carthon: but yeah.

00:23:14:24 – 00:23:16:04

Richard Carthon: Not this year, I think

00:23:17:21 – 00:23:21:16

Richard Carthon: so, yeah. But you also just need the experience of trying

00:23:21:18 – 00:23:23:05

Richard Carthon: things and, you know, learning from

00:23:23:07 – 00:23:27:11

Richard Carthon: them, but to your point, be patient and don’t just go all the

00:23:27:13 – 00:23:29:12

Richard Carthon: way. And if you don’t fully understand it,

00:23:29:24 – 00:23:39:04

Richard Carthon: it’s fine to dabble and to test. But but don’t, you’ll lose a lot of money that way if you don’t necessarily do your research to understand what’s going on.

00:23:39:06 – 00:23:40:06

Richard Carthon: So to me,

00:23:40:08 – 00:23:43:14

Richard Carthon: that definitely I agree with that and I appreciate that

00:23:43:16 – 00:23:45:03

Richard Carthon: sentiment. But you know, as we kind

00:23:45:05 – 00:23:48:26

Richard Carthon: of wrap up here, man was a final thought that you want to leave with all the listeners here today.

00:23:50:15 – 00:23:51:01

Richard Carthon: Final thought,

00:23:51:03 – 00:23:53:11

Richard Carthon: up and running now,

00:24:00:24 – 00:24:02:10

Richard Carthon: I think we’ve done

00:24:02:12 – 00:24:03:23

Richard Carthon: a collaboration with

00:24:03:28 – 00:24:05:12

Richard Carthon: the CW television

00:24:05:14 – 00:24:06:27

Richard Carthon: network in the US slowly, but

00:24:06:29 – 00:24:07:14

Richard Carthon: some

00:24:07:25 – 00:24:10:06

Richard Carthon: niches for Penn and Teller.

00:24:10:08 – 00:24:12:04

Richard Carthon: And I think up

00:24:12:06 – 00:24:14:19

Richard Carthon: until now, we still have a few

00:24:15:28 – 00:24:16:13
