The "Right" Direction

Host: Superhighgasfees ❤️ (@SHGFees), with co-host Sho (@AgogoKaren) · Wed, 22 Jul 2026 · 1:35:09 · ~9 active speakers

TL;DR

• A late-night pop-up Space Superhighgasfees almost didn't start — the prompt was simple: with projects chasing TCGs, plush, IRL clubhouses and digital products, what's the "right direction" for NFTs right now? [4:29]
• The room's recurring answer: there isn't one right path — projects should follow their own "truth," a framing from Host (@HostXweb3) that everyone kept returning to. [22:50]
• Money Miller (@ItsMoneyMiller) opened up about a hard personal year and previewed a rights/ownership platform launching in ~3 weeks; the group workshopped which topic he should pitch for a NFT NYC speaking slot. [43:56]
• Jed (@jed_131) made the case that founders should always be looking for ways to return real value to early holders, citing Claynosaurz giving equity as the example. [1:10:34]
• A strong secondary theme: the "hidden utility" of NFTs — mentorship, personal growth and relationships that several speakers valued over money. [1:18:26]
• whosbiggcrypto (@thtguyt) closed the thesis: community is the foundation everything else is built on. [1:26:46]

Highlights

The reluctant host [4:29] Superhighgasfees admitted he nearly skipped the whole thing — tired, half asleep — but had promised the chat he'd spin one up. Something about doing a Space at night, he said, makes him "think clearly."

"We ruined it for you" [10:42] Sho recounted showing up specifically to foil his plan to quietly go to bed, framing the whole Space as a friendly ambush. The dedication, he conceded, was real.

Find your truth [22:50] Host (@HostXweb3), fresh off a beach week away from nine months on a Canadian oil rig, delivered the line that anchored the night: copying other projects only stretches you thin — the right direction is "what you choose it to be, what your heart chooses." He tied it to Claynosaurz's Pixar-adjacent animation roots and Jed's food-and-community steakhouse as examples of projects built from who the founders actually are.

Pillow fights and drones [36:00] Host riffed a GPS metaphor (lock the destination first, the route can detour) into an escalating bit about staging a viral LT3 pillow fight in Times Square, filmed by drone — with Sho clarifying, for the record, that the plan was not to beat homeless veterans with pillows. [38:37]

Money gets vulnerable [42:11] Nudged by Lyss, Money Miller spoke candidly about a year of relationship turmoil and self-reflection, landing on a mission to help even one person avoid the same landmines — and a belief that "we can all win and win together" rather than the establishment's zero-sum setup.

The NFT NYC pitch [43:56] Money floated two possible talk topics: a technical one on ownership rights/provenance/entitlements for digital assets, and one on community-as-co-work. The room voted community — until he revealed the technical topic maps to a platform he's launching in weeks, at which point opinions shifted toward "do both, soft-shill it." Lyss offered to help push his speaker application through community voting. [52:32]

Crawling back into the pit [1:04:41] BeeCuzFuture added a gentle counterpoint to Money's transparency: sharing your struggles doesn't just help others avoid mistakes, it lets people who've just been through it feel less alone — "the willingness to share is almost having the courage to crawl back into that pit for that person."

Jed on returning value [1:10:34] Jed challenged Mark's "an NFT is a share in a company" framing — not in disagreement but in nuance: a company can be worth hundreds of millions while the NFT goes to zero if founders don't choose to return value. He pointed to Claynosaurz granting equity to holders as proof of the original Web3 ethos, and said that instinct to reward early believers should stay "front front front" of a founder's mind.

The running bit [1:08:00] A stray aside from the host about only having "one penis to worry about" with a son detonated into the night's biggest laugh, promptly earmarked by Jed for the "show archives" and immortalized when he asked for an encore two more times.

Community as foundation [1:26:46] whosbiggcrypto arrived late and unknowingly restated the thesis: you can't build a house on unlevel ground — build a genuine community foundation first, be authentically yourself, and the relationships (and the people they connect you to) take you further than the money.

Who said what

• Superhighgasfees (@SHGFees) — Host; posed the question, argued physical products matter as marketing even if they don't convert web2 buyers, and that NFT holders deserve to be treated differently than a web2 audience.
• Sho (@AgogoKaren) — Co-host; comic foil and grounding voice, stressed each project being "uniquely theirs" and championed mentorship/personal growth as the real utility for her.
• Host (@HostXweb3) — Delivered the "find your truth" thesis and the destination-before-direction metaphor; encouraged Money to seize the NFT NYC stage.
• Money Miller (@ItsMoneyMiller) — Shared a candid personal reflection, previewed his rights/ownership platform, and sought feedback on his conference talk.
• Lyss (@Lysss302) — Drew Money out on his growth, urged him to make the technical topic accessible, and offered concrete help with his speaker application.
• Mark (@14EmDubYa) — Framed NFTs as ownership/provenance tech and as "shares in a company," using his tree/lumber-rights NFT as an example; values the network above the art.
• Jed (@jed_131) — Pressed the return-of-value-to-holders argument, citing Claynosaurz equity; ran the night's comic thread with the host and Sho.
• BeeCuzFuture (@BeeCuzFuture) — Reframed investing as investing in people and mentorship ("know what you're investing in"), and on the human value of sharing hardship.
• whosbiggcrypto (@thtguyt) — Late arrival who summed the room's thesis: build a genuine community foundation and be authentically yourself.

Worth a full listen

• [41:00]–[43:24] — Money Miller's unscripted reflection on a hard year and his "we all win together" philosophy is the emotional core of the Space and reads flatter in summary than it played.
• [1:08:00]–[1:13:59] — Jed and Mark's exchange on whether an NFT is a share, why founders stopped returning value post-SEC scare, and the Claynosaurz equity example — the most substantive stretch of the night (bookended by the room's biggest laugh).
• [1:26:46]–[1:31:33] — whosbiggcrypto's foundation-first riff, and the way the group ties it back to the "find your truth" and mentorship threads to close the loop.
