# National Web3 Women's Day, Part 4 — "Love is the alpha" (and a wheel that may have been pre-spun)

Hosted by Morgan for National Web3 Women's Day (@Web3WomensDay), with cohosts LadyDev (@LadyDev1128) and a Kid called StayBlessed (@1122Blessed) · Sun–Mon, 11–12 Oct 2026 · 3:58:42 · ~20 identifiable speakers

## TL;DR
- Hours 10–14 of the marathon were the storytelling stretch: Momville, Miss T, Roberta, Cherie, ThatOneKitty, RandyAI, Keda and others gave their full origin stories, and most of the room cried at least once (several blamed Stay Blessed directly).
- LadyDev told the Lady Cafe story on-mic for the first time in a while: hired to build a marketplace, the founder rugged, she took the code, cancelled and relaunched the NFTs so every holder could re-mint free, and built out Lady Chain from there — plus $16K donated to charity since last June.
- Giveaways everywhere: MIDAS merch and Tangem cards, Rob Allen's three Ugly Mutant Ape NFTs, Stay Blessed's AKCB beast (won by 0g₿e), ThatOneKitty's Kitty With Bow NFTs, and BeeCuzFuture passing on the 1/1 "her era" piece he minted — which LadyDev won, her first-ever Ethereum NFT.
- Sponsor/partner shoutouts: Webby Social (open calls, artist profiles, their new metaverse) and SI3's free 10-week DeFi cohort.
- Forward-looking plans floated live: an IRL women's retreat (Panama or Bali), a Web3 Hawaii meetup, a 2027 Web3 women's event in Africa with African Goddess, Miss T's "LVE Calls" daily builder newspaper, and a shared vision board in the Discord to check in on next year.
- Vibes issued Morgan a public, one-year challenge: learn to ask for help. Morgan countered with "I'll go get sponsors so I can pay people."

## Highlights

**[6:10] "Your network is your net worth."** Morgan asked Stay Blessed to "do the thing with the thing" — the left, right, up, down follow ritual — and got the full version: follow everyone around you on the panel, because this room is where women empower each other. It became the spine of the whole hour.

**[12:21] Cashpig drops in to declare war on the patriarchy.** The lone man on stage for a stretch, he said he just came to show support, that one day a year isn't enough, and that he'd keep it short for once. Asked what women could do to support Streethood back, he had nothing: the women there "bring the best calls, they bring the alpha... they bring the chaos a lot of times" — **[16:48]** "no notes, no notes."

**[18:48] RandyAI on bridging blue-collar workers into crypto.** Heather explained the Randy name (an improbable density of Randys in Pennsylvania wastewater plants, plus Randy Raccoon), her state-level award for operator ingenuity, and her learn-to-earn platform where water operators pass quizzes, earn points, swap them for Randy Coin and watch a wallet grow. Normie onboarding with, as she put it, a little dirt that never hurt.

**[27:03] Momville's story.** She came in because her husband handed her the research job, found her Midas team — none of whom knew each other before launch — and has been running the "Midas energy" support side since. She shared that it started during the hardest stretch of their life, after losing their son and during their daughter's chemo, and that inspiring other people was how she carried it. **[29:24]** She turned it straight back on the host: "Morgan, you deserve flowers too."

**[34:21] Miss T introduces LVE Calls — and the room goes quiet.** Her pitch: a morning newspaper for builders, not tickers. Who's got a space today, who's dropping, who's building in Nigeria, so people stop having to chase KOLs for eyes. Then it turned personal **[39:44]**: the brand is love because "that's the apology I'll never get... right now, if I go home, there's no arms to catch Miss T."

**[41:25] Stay Blessed catches her anyway.** The answer was immediate and the room felt it: a room full of women is standing behind you, use us, let us straighten the crown and nurture the child within — go grab her an ice cream cone, play hopscotch with her. Miss T, mid-Walmart aisle, took it with all the grace she could manage **[43:13]**.

**[49:37] BeeCuzFuture gives away his 1/1.** He minted "her era" pieces to support the day, ended up with a one-of-one, and decided it belonged with one of the women who'd been there all day. Morgan flatly refused to pick a winner ("Ross wanted me to choose five. I can't choose five") and outsourced it to Hondro's wheel — which later produced the night's best mini-scandal when a pre-spin screenshot briefly convinced LadyDev she'd won, then she actually won **[2:52:04]**.

**[1:02:06] Cherie and Roberta's mutual flowers.** Cherie described nearly quitting crypto before finding Soul on Chain, where for a while she and Roberta were the only two women — hours and hours on the phone, an ETH wallet set up together, a friendship across hemispheres. Roberta, for her part, had declined to call herself a builder; Stay Blessed answered that at **[1:05:01]** with a defense of community support work as equal in value: thank you for not shrinking yourself.

**[1:36:49] LadyDev's rug-to-rebuild.** She was hired as a developer on someone else's marketplace; she woke to DMs, drained wallets, pulled LPs and her name tagged all over X. She nearly quit. Instead she kept the code, cancelled the old NFTs, relaunched so every holder could re-mint for free, and met Bullish Chris — then a big holder, now a partner across the whole Lady ecosystem — when he helped cover audit costs. **[2:05:36]** The seven-day launch space that preceded all this minted ~$6K and funded a $5,500 donation to the Montgomery, Alabama domestic abuse shelter that helped her when she left her marriage with four kids.

**[2:55:06] Keda's one-woman catalogue.** Kita's Brew beef tallow skincare and men's grooming, a discount token she minted herself on the XRPL toolkit, vibe-coded website, a woman-powered music NFT project, five rounds atop Timbaland's Global Search, co-hosting Friday Fiesta and Sunday Sesh, and recently hand-drawn illustration. The thesis **[3:00:16]**: the brain is a muscle, and when the market's down is exactly when you get your systems in place.

**[3:09:01] Vibes puts Morgan on the spot, on the record.** At 4:35am her time she dropped in to say the space had grown from ~20 signups to nearly 60, then issued the challenge: a whole year to learn to ask for help, witnessed by a recorded audience. Morgan's counteroffer was sponsors and a pitch deck, so she can pay people for their time instead of asking for favors.

## Worth a full listen

- **[34:21]–[46:45]** — Miss T's LVE Calls pitch into her own story, Stay Blessed's answer, and the whole room folding in. The emotional center of these four hours; a summary flattens it.
- **[1:36:49]–[2:10:00]** — LadyDev's full rug-and-rebuild account, the charity mint, and the argument for why builders shouldn't lose their dream over a $200 API bill. The most concrete "how it actually works" stretch of the night.
- **[1:29:51]–[1:35:48]** — A pure tangent: a Mrs. Claus charity costume, sack lunches for the Vegas tunnels, and a proposal to deliver them by fishing rod. It ends, as these things do, with an argument about which Despicable Me villain everyone sounds like.
