# Re:Envisioning Web3 | The Coup D'etat 😮

Host: Jed (@jed_131) with co-host Lyss (@Lysss302) · Tue, 25 Aug 2026 · 58:35 · ~11 speakers

## TL;DR
- Jed staged a friendly "coup d'etat," taking over Lyss's daily Re:Envisioning Web3 space — which mostly meant she came back with even more energy than usual.
- The **Regen Book Club** launches September 1st, kicking off with Cortez's book (Lyss notes the audiobook is free on Audible so cost is no excuse).
- Big push on the **Re-spaces host network**: Geist (@Geist254) agreed to come aboard as a recurring host, and Niko half-volunteered to co-host the book club.
- An **NFT NYC meetup** is set for Wednesday evening (~5–6pm) at Jed's steakhouse — appetizers and drinks for the Web3 crowd; several speakers confirmed they'll be there IRL.
- Recurring theme: the real ROI of spaces is relationships and retention, not room size — reset, refocus, realign.
- Jed flagged a low-key TCG alpha play ("Tata K") with 100 spots reserved for regens.

## Highlights
- **[7:20]** Lyss opens with her Julius Caesar obsession (three copies, read it 20+ times), gamely playing the overthrown Senator to Jed's coup: "Considering I've been overthrown, I'm gonna keep a close eye on Jed and stay far away from the Senate."
- **[12:55]** RobbAllen shares genuinely good news — voucher meeting Thursday, inspection, and a move into his new place Tuesday: "So let's fucking go." Jed, dealing with something similar himself, was clearly moved.
- **[16:41]** Niko reflects on how the spaces have reframed his mindset — "I no longer feel like I have to. I feel like I get to do things" — which Jed reveals was nearly the space's original title.
- **[19:28]** Jed's deadpan on the book club: "Should we call it regen book club, all the liars. Because people can't even read two sentences on this app. Now everybody reads books. I don't believe it."
- **[20:36]** City of STONKS (CCM) explains his break honestly — "it all went to zero," so he took a job in luxury resale (selling Gucci bags 50 hrs/week) and now grinds Web3 till 3am. Jed backs the have-an-income-first approach.
- **[25:26]** Geist recounts the golden era of ApeChain builder spaces — daily four-hour rooms, and a legendary 21-hour marathon run straight to the Tyson–Jake Paul fight: "I slept on spaces, man."
- **[36:02]** Jed credits those trenches for his best finds — Simple Farmer, Uncle Mac, Crypto Bullies — arguing the ROI on showing up daily shows up a year later.
- **[45:26]** Lyss delivers the space's centerpiece monologue on conviction over vanity metrics: don't let the numbers dictate your effort, and "my mind can overpower any weakness that my body tries to show me."
- **[49:09]** After that speech, Jed gives up on pretending she's under the weather: "I thought you weren't feeling good. What the fuck? Are you a cyborg? Are you Gary V's lost daughter?" — and neither Super nor Sho would help him rein her in.
- **[52:19]** CCM confirms he's all in on the NYC meetup: "My ticket is booked. We're going Honolulu to NYC, baby" — with Jed teasing that McFly will be at the steakhouse door in a suit checking IDs.

## Who said what
- **Jed (@jed_131)** — host; ran the "coup," steered the NFT convo and NYC meetup logistics, and gave Geist a heartfelt closing tribute.
- **Lyss (@Lysss302)** — co-host; the motivational engine of the room, Julius Caesar devotee, and driving force behind the Book Club and Re-spaces host network.
- **Geist (@Geist254)** — veteran space host (\*; shared hard-won lessons on running rooms with intention and agreed to rejoin as a recurring host.
- **Super (@SHGFees)** — regular; talked up how spaces accelerate real relationships and retention (e.g., getting to know holder Marco Matic).
- **Sho (@AgogoKaren)** — regular; NYC-outfit-ready and firmly on Team Lyss when Jed asked for backup.
- **Niko (@6XISIV)** — spoke on the "get to" mindset and interest in the book club/co-hosting.
- **City of STONKS / CCM (@CityOfStonks)** — returning after a break; building something with regen "keys," confirmed for the NYC steakhouse meetup.
- **Jose (@Yoshi_3000)** — coffee/Web3 builder; met Lyss at the Litecoin Summit, will be at NFT NYC Wednesday.

- **RobbAllen (@RobbAllen15)** — shared his upcoming move into a new place.

## Worth a full listen
- **[44:00]–[48:19]** — Lyss's full conviction monologue on effort vs. numbers and letting your mind show up when your body won't. The paraphrase can't carry the momentum.
- **[24:08]–[29:39]** — Geist on the craft and cost of daily hosting, the 21-hour Tyson-fight marathon, and his emotional decision to stay "because I can't leave family behind."
- **[49:09]–[52:35]** — The lightest stretch of the room: Jed conceding defeat to Lyss's energy, the "goated motivational speaker" bit, and CCM's Honolulu-to-NYC victory lap.
