JED TALK🎙️ | Adam Picks Up 103 Re:generates

Host: Jed (@jed_131) with cohost Lyss (@Lysss302) · Fri, Aug 14 2026 · 1:33:51 · ~11 speakers

TL;DR

• A last-minute "JED talk" pop-up thrown together because the group chat couldn't contain the news: collector Adam Weissman picked up 100+ Re:generates, including a 1/1, in an OTC deal.
• Jed's framing throughout: the price of the bag matters less than aligning with a genuine, all-in Web3 connector — "network is ten times more valuable."
• The Re:generates artist (whom Jed calls "Mexico") and Wackyville founder Mac (@maccurated) both dialed in to congratulate and share how the mint/negotiation actually went.
• Jed teased alpha on a Simple Farmer / "cardwall" project (ERC-6551 / Anvil / Unvault flavored) dropping the next day, with early access for regens.
• Heavy NFT NYC anticipation (~16 days out), with De Stefano's steakhouse positioned as the group's IRL "Web3 hub," plus Sho's 10am birthday space for Poppy and Saturday's 300th Reenvisioning Web3 space.

Highlights

[4:49] The reason for the pop-up. Lyss explained that Adam Weissman had texted Jed asking, essentially, "how can I get 100 regens? I really want to get involved" — and called it the biggest compliment the project has received. She kept details light, promising more once the room filled.

[10:37] Jed roasts the mint, then hands to the artist. Jed ribbed the team about a mint that lost money because nobody realized launching cost money ("No royalties. Dude didn't tell me anything"), before pulling up the Re:generates artist, whom he affectionately calls "Mexico."

[15:49] "Network is ten times more valuable." Jed reframed the Adam deal as a test of values rather than a discount fight — a billionaire who "just spent a million dollars on stockbrokers" isn't sweating the floor, he's gauging whether you understand the long-term worth of the relationship. Jed noted Adam drove 350 miles to eat at his restaurant and hung out with his dad and Lyss.

[18:04] Super High's remote hype. Dialing in by FaceTime, Super High praised Jed's eye for talent and the whole team's chemistry, singling out how Lyss "operates how I imagine huge company owners would operate," and calling the group "top of the top type shit."

[22:59] Mac on the OTC reality. Wackyville's Mac (@maccurated) congratulated Jed, guessed correctly it was an OTC deal, and confirmed from experience that Adam drives a hard bargain — "you don't become a billionaire by just handing things out." He also revealed he'd given all of his own mint funds to his artist.

[27:44] McFly on family and hospitality. McFly traced the arc from "strangers to acquaintances to friends to family," credited that first De Stefano's dinner (where Jed's dad made his first pixel piece in person), and spoke candidly about taking a break for family reasons and finding his drive again at the table.

[34:40] The humble creator. The Re:generates artist admitted "I didn't know what the hell I was doing, I was just trying to draw some shit," and said his favorite part is people finding themselves in the collection. Lyss picked up the thread on "requeens," celebrating how women (and men) see themselves in specific traits Jed helps match them to.

[49:03] Jed drops alpha. Jed pointed the room to a Simple Farmer post about a "cardwall" project (ERC-6551 / Anvil references), saying he'd known for days and just got clearance to hint that regens will get early/special access. His refrain: notifications on, and "when you cook, come back and buy a regen."

[1:01:27] CryptoBulliez's love letter to New York. The lone native New Yorker gave an extended, warm defense of the city as a melting pot and argued that anyone who had a bad NYC trip simply did the tourist route — the fix is a night at Jed's steakhouse, family photos on the wall and all.

Topic timeline

• Lyss / Liz (cohost) — Kept the "consistency, resilience, why" thread going; pitched De Stefano's as the "Web3 hub of the world," celebrated requeens, and gave Jed his flowers for spotting talent.

• Mac (@maccurated) — Wackyville founder; congratulated Jed, confirmed the OTC nature of the deal, and shared that he gives his mint funds to his artist.
• McFly — IRL friend and hospitality voice; spoke about community-as-family and became the night's running punchline for his fresh braids.

Worth a full listen

• [1:01:27]–[1:07:25] — CryptoBulliez's unbroken monologue about New York as a melting pot and why the steakhouse "will change your whole perspective." It's the emotional core of the room's IRL pitch and doesn't compress well.
• [1:22:19]–[1:29:02] — The closing roast session: braids, perms, "whose man is this," bodega cats, and Jed as a "pocket Yorkie." This is the regulars' banter at full volume.
• [49:03]–[54:54] — Jed's alpha stretch on the Simple Farmer / cardwall drop. Vague by design, but if you want the exact hints he was allowed to give, listen rather than read.
