# Trolls Den ⛰️ SHILL & CHILL 🎤 — Recap

**Host:** Troll King XPX (@TrollKingXPX) with co-host Jessica (@Jessicacrazycat) · **Date:** Thu, 30 Jul 2026 · **Duration:** 1:34:02 · **~7 speakers**

## TL;DR
- A low-key "shill & chill" community Space opened by a full custom Trolls Den anthem before the mics even warmed up.
- Derpy Dave shared the origin of his project — a character his 12-year-old son drew from a hospital back brace — now a "battle cry" against loneliness.
- Cliff Kaye delivered two long, high-energy monologues: a pitch for "Operation Litecoin Liberty" and a thesis on meme coins evolving into community-funded "quest coins" and "fortress funds."
- NWO introduced **Yap**, a Solana-native social app on mainnet for 30 days (49 users), where posts are on-chain and votes distribute token emissions — and picked up a live signup during the Space.
- Jessica talked openly about her physical and web3 art, and a new collection donating 10% to a Swedish children's charity.
- The Luxurious Lounge (David / Normie) closed things out toward his September wedding, which he plans to livestream on Pump Fun.

## Highlights

**[2:32]–[9:22] The Trolls Den anthem.** The Space opened not with a mic check but with a full, sung anthem laying out the house values — "integrity first, that's the code that we live" — "putting people before profits." It set the tone and drew the room's warmest early response.

**[14:44] Derpy Dave's origin story.** Derpy Dave (@Being_DerpyAF) explained the PFP was drawn by his son at 12, after a spinal diagnosis left him in a back brace for the summer. "Dad, this is the way I feel," the boy said of the oddball purple character — and the family turned it "instead of using this as a crutch" into a battle cry named for David, "the biggest underdog in the Bible."

**[16:14] Loneliness as the mission.** Derpy framed the project around loneliness as "an epidemic" — citing figures like one in three young Americans feeling they don't belong — and said the meme coin is "marketing" to draw attention to it, with tokens locked to 2027 and a burn-and-buy approach.

**[20:03] Jessica connects.** Jessica welcomed hearing Derpy speak for his own project "instead of everybody else speaking in your spaces," then shared that after twenty years as a police officer she's sat with people contemplating and lost to suicide — calling loneliness "a hidden health problem" and thanking him for the work.

**[23:37] Cliff Kaye takes the mic.** Cliff (@CliffKaye_) tied Derpy's art-through-hardship story to a broader riff on creativity, devices, and community, praising rooms that lack "that ruggy, dark, community cannibalism kind of energy."

**[32:12] "Operation Litecoin Liberty."** Cliff's central pitch: Litecoin's long uptime, broad distribution and legacy integration make it hard to stop, so if communities each pull four Litecoin into self-custody, they "force the spot price to be more honest" and can't be cut off at a single brokerage the way Dogecoin was.

**[39:16] Meme coins as "quest coins."** In a second long stretch, Cliff argued the Solana trenches "succumb to community cannibalism," and the fix is communities directing meme liquidity toward treasuries (Bitcoin, XRP), DeFi yield, and NFT airdrops — "fortress funds" to weather a macro correction he expects around 2029.

**[55:34] NWO introduces Yap.** NWO (@nwoventures) walked through Yap, a Solana social app where every post and comment is an on-chain hash and likes from stakers direct token emissions rather than tips. He was candid that it's day-30, 49 users, "everything organic," and that the honest pitch is "just go to the website and see what it is."

**[1:01:24] Jessica's frank feedback.** Jessica gently told NWO the pitch needs work and that she "want[s] to feel a bit more excitement" — and King Abraham (@KinggAbraham) came up to vouch as an early user. By [1:20:57] the room had converted a live signup.

**[1:11:14] Jessica on her own art.** Prodded to stop shilling others and talk about herself, Jessica described her ~400 NFTs sold, her physical exhibitions, and a new collection sending 10% to a Swedish organization protecting children in homes with addiction or violence — a cause she tied to painful personal experience.

**[1:29:16] A wedding on Pump Fun.** The Luxurious Lounge (David / Normie, @TheLuxxLounge) revealed he's marrying in under 60 days and plans to livestream it on YouTube and Pump Fun — "the first wedding on Pump Fun" — which also happens to be NWO's birthday.

## Who said what

- **Troll King XPX (host, @TrollKingXPX)** — ran the room, kept the vibe warm, worked the rules and shout-outs, and pitched his own 50-piece 1-SOL NFT collection funding a community-managed portfolio he'll redistribute in SOL.
- **Jessica (co-host, @Jessicacrazycat)** — grounded the emotional beats, drew on her policing background around loneliness and child welfare, gave the room's most candid feedback, and shared her own artist journey.
- **Derpy Dave (@Being_DerpyAF)** — turned a family hardship into a mission-driven project against loneliness; walked through tokenomics and the "#DerpyAF" battle cry.
- **Cliff Kaye (@CliffKaye_)** — the room's macro evangelist; two extended monologues on Litecoin self-custody, meme-coins-as-quest-coins, DeFi treasuries, and a 2029 correction thesis.
- **NWO (@nwoventures)** — building Yap, an on-chain Solana social app; honest and early-stage, took the feedback well and landed a live user.
- **King Abraham (@KinggAbraham)** — new Trolls Den "frame" wearer and early Yap user who vouched for the app.
- **The Luxurious Lounge / David / Normie (@TheLuxxLounge)** — praised as "the realest builder in the space," tested Yap live, and shared his Pump Fun wedding plan.

## Worth a full listen

- **[14:44]–[22:46]** — Derpy Dave's full origin story and Jessica's response. The summary can't carry the tenderness of a father describing his son's drawing becoming a movement, or Jessica meeting it with her own experience.
- **[32:12]–[49:13]** — Cliff Kaye's back-to-back deep dives. Whether or not you buy the Litecoin thesis or the 2029 call, it's a dense, passionate crash course on self-custody, meme-coin evolution and DeFi — the kind of monologue that earns the good-natured "you must have pain in your jaw" it got afterward.
- **[1:24:15]–[1:31:00]** — The Luxurious Lounge multitasking "9000" from his shop while giving real Yap user feedback and then dropping the wedding news — a nice snapshot of the room's builder-family energy.
