# SHILL & CHILL 🎙️ With the Trolls

*Host: Troll King XPX (@TrollKingXPX), with cohosts Jessica (@Jessicacrazycat) & Trolls Den (@TrollsDenX) · Tue, 01 Sep 2026 · 2:04:02 · 8 speakers*

## TL;DR
- A relaxed open-mic "shill & chill" that opened with two custom Trolls Den anthem songs about laying your armor down and finding a home in Web3 — the emotional core of the whole room.
- 0xBaneswulf ("Wolf") shared a small-world discovery (turns out he's distantly related to a crypto-media contact via a Scottish family line) and teased his PowerSlime NFT collection, with a ~25–30% discounted mint for Trolls Den members.
- Normie updated on the beard-brand IRL championship in LA, the Normie token holding $1M cap for a third time, and an upcoming wedding to be livestreamed on Pump Fun.
- Retro Arcade dev "Beef" introduced a Solana virtual arcade where entry fees fund weekly leaderboard payouts and token buyback-and-burns — pitched as a genuine on-ramp for the 40% of the planet who game but don't touch crypto.
- Meme Warzone (Patrick) walked through a gamified launchpad with a coin-vs-coin "battle system," fixed-dollar bonding thresholds, and a no-transfer, 24-hour creator buy lock — which opened a long, friendly debate on supply control.
- Ash K, Normie, and Meme Warzone traded honest perspectives on the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" reality of supply control, drawing on Ash's live post-mortem of his YO token.

## Highlights

**The Trolls Den anthems [2:33] & [7:23]** — The Space opened not with talk but with two full songs about walking through fire, laying your armor on the floor, and finding a family "stronger than blood." The second, "I Found Home," narrates a burnt-out trader jumping community to community until "I found trolls den, and something in me settled down… they didn't sell me a dream, they just let me sit around." It set the entire tone of the room.

**Jessica and TK on the day behind the mic [12:14]** — Jessica opened up about a chronic-pain flare that forced her offline to reset, while TK recounted farm work, fence-fixing, and a follow-up on the leg his donkey bit "pretty damn hard" the previous Saturday — purple and stiff, but no infection.

**Wolf's small-world moment [18:08]** — Wolf shared that some family research revealed he and a crypto-media contact share great-grandparents through the Weir family of Scotland — "we're cousins, apparently." It rolled into a warm riff on never burning bridges and how the space keeps making a big world feel small.

**PowerSlime and a Phantom headache [25:07] / [28:05]** — Wolf teased his incoming NFT collection (Discord live, ~25–30% Trolls Den mint discount) while wrestling with Phantom refusing to let him swap funds to pay his artist. TK offered his unfiltered hot tip on the wallet — and a live comic beat when his donkeys started loudly interrupting the call.

**Normie's beard championship & token thesis [35:25]** — Normie reported back from the 2026 beard and mustache championship in LA (booths, business deals, fellow "bearded villains"), the Normie token holding $1M cap with 80% locked and 5% burned, a new game live, and a wedding to be broadcast on Pump Fun.

**Retro Arcade's on-ramp pitch [49:52]** — Beef laid out his Solana arcade: classic-style cabinets where 50% of entry fees pay the top-three weekly leaderboard and 50% goes to buyback-and-burn (over 5% of supply gone in three weeks). His mission — bring genuinely good, free-to-try games to the ~40% of people who game but distrust crypto.

**Gaming nostalgia and a Web3-gaming reality check [1:00:34]** — A long, affectionate tangent through WoW, Counter-Strike, PUBG and Diablo turned into TK's blunt critique of Web3 gaming as mostly extraction with no sustainable model — "I haven't seen one single good project," while still hoping real builders prove him wrong.

**Meme Warzone's battle system & launchpad [1:09:23]** — Patrick unveiled a coin-vs-coin battle format (import your meme coin, wager, fight on market cap/volume/holders + secret metrics over 24h/3d/7d, winner takes the war pool, communities can buy $1 boosts). He then detailed launchpad differences: fixed-dollar bonding thresholds and post-bond LP math designed to prevent the market-cap drop that spooks holders into selling.

**The supply-control debate [1:28:21] onward** — Patrick argued a good project shouldn't need supply control ("the chart will sort itself out by your community"), while Normie [1:44:02] defended holding 80% locked as a business owner who built a real brand solo, and Ash K [1:38:13] landed in the middle with a lived-in "damned if you do, damned if you don't" — complete with a candid recap of his YO token getting hit by copy-traders and profit-takers.

## Who said what

- **Troll King XPX (host)** — Ran the room, curated speakers as an "audited" bridge between investors and builders, and offered strong opinions on Phantom, Web3 gaming, and the case-by-case nature of supply control.
- **Jessica (cohost)** — The room's warmth; checked in on every speaker, held space despite a rough pain day, and closed with an extended "we build in the bear market, we win in the long run" message.
- **0xBaneswulf ("Wolf")** — Shared his family-history discovery and PowerSlime NFT plans (Trolls Den discount), while live-troubleshooting a Phantom swap.
- **Normie (David)** — Reported from the LA beard championship, made the bull case for the Normie token's locked/burned supply, and defended heavy supply control as a solo brand owner.

## Worth a full listen

- **[2:33]–[10:27]** — The two anthem songs. No summary captures why the room reacted the way it did; they *are* the community's mission statement in audio form.
- **[1:09:23]–[1:33:00]** — Meme Warzone's deep-dive on bonding curves, LP math, and cluster-wallet protection is a genuinely useful walkthrough of launchpad design, with TK pushing thoughtful questions throughout.
- **[1:37:00]–[1:49:00]** — Ash K, Normie, and Meme Warzone on supply control. Three honest, non-combative takes from people who've each been burned differently — the most substantive stretch of the night.
