so let's have a little bit of fun guys
this is going to be a little irreverent
so the first thing I want you guys to do
because this is so much fun and I want
you to be able to just say three my bunk
because it's so much fun to say so
everybody all together one two three
come on we can do better than that you
got to put a little spunk on the bunk
okay so 1 2 3 30 okay that's what I'm
talking about the first question you're
going to have is what the heck is bunk
bunk is all of your virtual junk now I
got a definition up here that she was
kind of you know specific you know it's
going to go into urban dictionary that
sort of thing but it's all your swords
shields armor special potions access to
special levels all that crazy crap you
have in your video games which is
actually worth something but there's no
way for you to monetize it right now
bunk is also if you put it in all caps
bunk is a token a token which resides on
etherium and which will be using and
I'll explain more throughout the
presentation so I picked this image to
illustrate what the video game metaverse
is by the way if you never heard of
metaverse that's a reference back to
classical cyberpunk book written by
stefan love Neal Steffensen called Snow
Crash if you haven't read it you have to
read it's awesome but if we were to look
at the video game metaverse first
question we would have is why is
everything so disconnected these are
like islands of economies that can't
trade between each other why would this
ever happen part of its in its evolution
but we can change it so let me tell you
a little story but the first time I
understood the value of vunk
I was 10 years old I'm a date myself
right now boss 10 years old playing my
favorite game baseball stars this was on
the original nintendo system a man I
played Nintendo in here yeah that's what
I'm talking about Nintendo was awesome
this was a great game but it had
something really specific about it which
made it unique it was the very first
sports game to incorporate the battery
pack into the cartridge which made a
very significant advancement in gaming
you could now save the state of your
game on the cartridge and you could pick
up the next time you were going to play
so this enabled a lot of really cool
features oh by the way just to increase
the irreverent irreverence in the room
when you guys get the concept of bunk I
want you to just shout out free my bunk
don't want arion spur dissipation I want
to hear from you when you when you
understand what I'm talking about so
this game free it would save my state
and the so I would be able to build a
team I be able to trade for players hire
fire players and even inside the players
themselves I could augment their
abilities by the cash that I had gained
from winning previous games so I got to
I played the heck out of this game I
mean at least a hundred hours and I had
maxed out every single player on my team
every single one so my buddy will came
over by the way Will Smith that he's
actually playing this game in the
picture by the way this is awesome will
will came over and we were playing a
game and I i use my team of course i
just trashed him I mean I crushed him
into the pavement it was something like
fifty four to six okay and why he was
fuming after the game he turned to me
and he says I'll give you ten dollars
for your team I was like what yeah
you've got me a t-shirt he told me ten
dollars and I was ten okay my allowance
every week was two dollars that was over
a month's allowance for what I had done
in this game which is just basically
build a team and then we try to figure
out how we were going to do it how we
actually going to transfer this team but
what it taught me was that vunk has
value it has real-world value that
people are willing to pay for the things
that you've created in the virtual
worlds so give you a case study this is
a study that just came out this year the
collectible card game industry so many
of you guys know this is like magic or
hearth stone nearly two-thirds of all
people who play these games play them
digitally but three-quarters of all the
monetary investment goes towards
physical cards why would you ever do
that do you not like the game in the
digital world plus your physical card if
it gets bent scratched spilled coffee on
or whatever it loses its value why would
you put your value into such a media and
the answer is because you can monetize
it you can walk down to the store and
you will get cash from the from the guy
at the store for your card according to
his trade value whereas in a digital the
game hasn't imprisoned held hostage you
can trade within the game but you cannot
get money out of the game it's sunk cost
but we can change this and we'll talk
about three components that we have for
our project that we believe will make a
success so the first is the movement I'm
gonna talk about each one of these
individually the second are the tools
and the plugins the third is the
marketplace and what wraps all this
together is vunk the token try baby free
my bunk and we call all these things
together the ravaughn collusion
now I'm gonna I'm gonna give you guys
I'm gonna give you guys a little benefit
so if you will follow me on Twitter and
you tweet to me five of the games
represented by these weapons down here
you can identify what games they come
from I'll give you a free t-shirt free
my bunk kidding me so the movement so
this is all about educating gamers and
getting them angry telling them why they
can't monetize their assets this is all
about incentivized evangelism I'm going
to talk a little bit more about that
that's about that in a second and we're
going to have mainstream media attention
so I'm pretty excited to give you guys a
little bit of an announcement we've had
someone join our team which is is pretty
important to us he is a Hollywood movie
screenwriter and producer his name is
skip woods you probably don't recognize
his name right off but you will
recognize his movies movies like
swordfish 18 die hard 5 hit man
wolverine and he's going to be putting
free my bunk into the spotlight in the
main in the major cultural media and the
goal of all this is to put consumer
pressure on game develop developers to
tokenize their virtual assets because we
believe that gaint let big game
companies are not going to want to do
this initially it's going to be the
consumer some of the gamers that push
them towards doing this I just post over
here the manifesto i'll have the
manifesto available to anyone who wants
it in the back on the next break so vunk
what is it how we distribute well it's
an etherium token smart contract and we
give it out we don't sell it this is not
a crowd sale we're privately funded
we're giving it out for evangelism so we
have will have social media trackers and
every single time you tweet post on
Facebook put on Instagram hashtag free
my bunk and if you have set up an
account on our website
we will add bunk to your digital wallet
but so that's like the mainstream public
way of distributing the token but we're
also going to be using a colony which is
something you're going to hear about
later today and it's a decentralized
governance platform where every single
member of the colony once invited
they're going to be able to influence
the way the movement is directed and
they're going to be able to gain a large
amount of bunk because we're going to
give the same amount that we give to the
evangelists we're going to take all that
and dump it into the colony as well so
the tools in the plug-in so what we do
is we go to video game developers we
enable them to do asset issuance and
registry we take that registry which we
build in etherium we link it to
characterization files in I PFS 3d
virtual visualization of the sword or
whatever you want we provide in game
connections to etherium wallets and we
can even provide these tools to them for
free so an example of the first company
that's come online to join free my
ivanka spells of Genesis some of you may
have heard of them they raised over
almost a thousand Bitcoin in their bit
crystals crowd sale in the first month
before they release their beta they sold
twenty thousand dollars worth the cards
and they burned half that amount
according to their economic model which
makes it profitable for those who bought
in and they're looking to use athyrium
to build tournament smart contracts now
I show this to an indie game developer
and they are salivating to want to get
in because that's a lot of money to
build their game when they're living off
ramen and kidney beans and finally the
last part of this is that we provide the
marketplace so why does token what is
bunked what vocht bunk tokens matter is
because these are going to be required
in order to post trades on the
marketplace people who have accumulated
bunk will be able to trade for free but
people who come late to the party
they'll have to buy the vunk in order to
do it and this is with the way we
abstract the cost of ether for trustless
escrow and and in trading
they don't have to pay the ether we will
and then we will just charge them bunk
and we'll have digital wallets to access
this marketplace both inside and outside
the game this will be instant
advertising for all of these game
projects so what we really are doing is
we're providing bridges between virtual
worlds these black markets that have
existed in forums where people risk
being banned from the game that they're
trying to monetize these are evidence
for the frustration and the demand that
we have in this market video gamers
already embrace new technology they they
already know digital wallets if we want
to look for who the average user is that
we're going to connect with immediately
with athyrium these are our guys they
will adopt this readily if we can
abstract some of the more nuanced
aspects of the block chain and indie
game companies will be the first to
adopt because they want the exposure
they need market share and develop ting
and developing on new technology is the
way they do that so who are we well
we're six people right now and we we
fulfill a whole lot of jobs but we want
to be more so who will join us we're
looking for developers of all kinds
artists podcasters bloggers traders
organizers game enthusiasts if this
excites you we want you with us and we
think we can make it a meaningful
experience so this is the way you can
contact us basically any sort of social
media outlet that has that can let us
use free my bunk will be there you can
meet me at the back for stickers and
manifestos and t-shirts afterward I just
want to share with you a last little
mean here anybody who loved Duke Nukem
growing up let's stop staring at the
bunk let's go get it that's that's the
end of my talk guys
I don't know if I have any a minute for
some questions okay music question it's
a great I mean that's a great point so
we believe that a successful business
has to target a relatively small market
in order to be successful especially at
our stage but there's no reason why this
doesn't expand to a variety of things I
mean we're talking fantasy football
leagues airline miles you know reward
credits there's no real limit to what
this can do but we believe that the need
and the demand in the video game market
is going to drive this really fast oh
well I'm ready to free my bunk I don't
know about you guys it's either
