Re:Envisioning Web3 | The Importance of Vibes (Take 1 & 2)

Host: Jed (@jed_131) with co-hosts Lyss (@Lysss302) and Super (@SHGFees) · Fri, Aug 28 2026 · ~1:56 across two parts · ~12 speakers

TL;DR

• The theme: as liquidity and attention flow back into Web3, vibes are the underrated asset — celebrate wins, stay positive on the timeline, and retain the people who never left.
• Recurring practical advice: it's not only the founder's job to speak up; plan your conversations, don't "sound chilly," and build a team so you don't burn out doing everything alone.
• Heavy NFT NYC / De Stefano's Steakhouse meetup planning — Jed floated a Wednesday group chat since the restaurant is closed Mon/Tues; Lyss ran through the week's dinners, games, and the Monday "New Quirk City" event.
• The Space "rugged" (X dropped it) and Jed restarted it as "Good Vibes. Take 2" — Lyss carried it, later hosting solo while Jed literally went to shower and field restaurant calls.
• Emotional beats in Part 2: Bored Osaka's story of closing his coffee-shop chain and a stalled Japan migration, Margie B's account getting hacked on Tuesday, and Celeste speaking for the first time.
• It closed on an unexpectedly deep dive into water — spring water, microplastics, and Jed's loyalty to the Brooklyn garden hose.

Highlights

[P1 12:46] Jed frames the whole room. He set the tone on why vibes matter now: a year ago "we were dead… people thought NFTs are over," and the market went from that to $65M thrown at a single mint. The ask: do it "the right way this time" — celebrate wins instead of fighting.

[P1 18:42] Lyss on shilling vs. building. Her core note: it's not just the founder's job — members, leads, and investors should all learn to talk about what they love, and it isn't shilling when a builder simply speaks on what they're building. She paired it with prepping your takes so you never "sound chilly."

[P1 26:49] Slick: stop watching the dollar. Slick's read on the moment — focus on relationships and networking, not the price. His line landed hard: "That's why you keep leaving, because all you care about is the price. And if that's all you care about, you're not gonna make it."

[P1 42:26–43:18] The bacon takes over the steakhouse. A running bit about De Stefano's: CCM joked the Google reviews now read like "a bacon house, not a steakhouse," Lyss walked through the full plate as an "experience," and Bored Osaka landed it — "the bacon is the gateway drug to the steak." Which flowed straight into Lyss publicly praising Bored Osaka until he cracked: "Oh fuck. Excuse me. I don't like that." The room resolved to shower him with compliments until he got comfortable.

[P1 55:21–56:03] Super's quiet mic and the roommate mystery. Super revealed he'd oddly refused to name his NFT NYC roommate — "yeah, I'm staying with my friend" — while said friend (Piffs) was sitting in the crowd. Slick's disaster-prep advice for Super's low audio: "get underneath the table. Put some pillows around it." Show confessed she'd been holding her phone to her good ear and still couldn't hear him; Lyss vowed to teach him voice ISO as her biggest NFT NYC "W."

[P2 8:05] The Friday administration collapses. After Jed "rugged" to go shower, Lyss shared what her Reenvisioning AI intern wrote when told: "LMAO. Of course he did. The Friday administration has collapsed and control of reinvisioning has been restored." (Jed, still listening: "Even if I shower, I did not collapse.")

[P2 2:17–7:07] Bored Osaka's fractured journey. He opened up about closing 17 years of coffee shops and a wine bar to migrate to Osaka, Japan — a first visa approved, a second stalled by administration changes — and the grief of shuttering "a cultural business" people still mourn. His framing throughout: "we plan and God laughs," and being an entrepreneur is "a disease… like the mob — you leave, but you can never truly leave."

[P2 21:23] Margie B on getting hacked. She described Tuesday as "negative 28,000" — not over lost followers but the fear of losing her Web3 family. The save: friends and Slick Rick interrogated the hacker with inside jokes ("six nine, six nine, get a bottle of wine") to prove it wasn't her. By Friday she was back and "living her best life."

[P2 29:26–36:25] Celeste's first mic. A first-time speaker in the room, she talked about rocking a male AI PFP as a woman ("I just love the art… and the purple background"), training your mind to stay positive, and spotting who's real in the quiet stretches. Her close: "don't invest in the product, invest in the founder."

[P2 42:07–50:56] The water tangent. What started as show's "aquapana" bit turned into a genuine deep-dive: Chicken drives 30 minutes to a Romanian spring and links it to his Crohn's flares, Bored Osaka warned about microplastics, Lyss confessed to being a proud "water snob," and Jed shut it down in character: "I drink from the Johnny Pump, I drink from the garden hose, Brooklyn water is the best… gives me muscles."

• [P1 54:00–1:00:00] — The comic peak: Super's low mic, the unnamed-roommate mystery with Piffs sitting right there, Slick's "pillows under the table" plan, and the liver-pills survival guide. The reactions don't survive paraphrase.
