Episode 172 - NotAWiz4rd of the @noircoin Team

You're listening to the only place on the internet that offers the perfect blend of high-quality premium cigars and cryptocurrency news and commentary. Welcome to cigars and crypto. Now here's your host, Invest New York. Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this episode of cigars and crypto. You know who it is you should point it while let me tell you. Every time I speak to my friend,

now the wizard, I always learn something new. My friend, how are you today? I'm well. Thank you. How are you? I'm pretty good. I cannot complain super duper busy super duper busy. Let me make life go fast. You know, it makes the time passed by quickly and I'm able to enjoy the breaks that I get the few breaks that I do get. So I can't complain

man. What are you busy doing? I'm doing a lot of interest. I have a cigar breed by the name of a cigar recon and I have been trying to get my cigars, my company off the ground. I am now in two stores here in the Mid-Atlantic region, one in New Jersey, one in Delaware. And I'm working on bringing out a couple of new blints for folks

to try. So that's been taking up the majority of my time. Which is why I haven't been putting out as many episodes as I normally do and why you guys don't see me on Twitter as much as you used to. So yeah, that's what I'm up to. Sounds very interesting. Yeah. It's a labor love. I've been talking about doing this for about three years. Yeah. That's

some really good guidance. Shout out to my friend Pat, the owner of State Line and cigar sessions. For the council. He doesn't even realize he's been counseling me. But everything he says to me, I listen to shout out to him. Shout out to Omar, the owner of eSquare Tzogars. For being a sounding board. And giving me an example to look at in real time of how

to grow a small business to be bigger and how to get more customers in the door. So shout out to both of them. Shout out to the herd society. For being myself. For being a sounding board, being my focus group, having big ears and big shoulders for me to talk to and lean on and overall being just great friends. More than friends, more like family. So

shout out to them as well. That sounds really cool. Yeah, it's pretty good. I wish you the best of luck with that. I appreciate that, my friend. Hopefully I'll be able to try some one day. Yeah, man. Look, I accept cryptocurrency, bro. So shoot me some of the war coin, man. If you cover the ship. I said it over there to German. Still problem. And the

shipping will be probably more money than the cigars themselves. That's always the problem. That's okay. I take no one. Send it to me. So the last time we were talking, you were going to buy a new car and you were talking about getting a new flat. Exactly. So the, yes, I was about to buy a new car, right? Yeah. So the new car is bought. Good.

And so that's all wrecked up. And I'm very happy with my purchase. Good. And did you get a Lamborghini or a Porsche? Neither. I think for most of them, I'd really have to make myself small to fit in. Okay. I got you. No, I got a used Audi. Oh, okay. So it's the German brand. Yeah. And yeah, a 2012, a five sports back. Okay. Yeah. I

had to have you pick me up from the airport. Yeah. That's right. It's style. If you come to Germany, I'll pick you up. Sure. Yeah. So that's, that's been going on. And then essentially right after that was wrapped up at essentially about a week ago at this point, I found a flat, which I'm going to rent. And so I'm, yeah, I haven't signed anything. I haven't

signed a renting contract. However, that's called in English. But I've essentially got the okay from the owner that I will be renting it. And so we're getting the whole contract stuff is going to work out in the next week or two. And yeah. So that's really exciting. So at the moment, I'm 100% on flat planning mode, essentially, like measuring. I went up to the flat with

my dad and measured everything. So now I know how much, how much space I've got everywhere and planning. Okay. What stuff can I put where and what things have I got to buy and how much money will that cost me and all of that. So. That's a lot of work because there are just thousand things that will cost money and that have to be thought of.

Right. Well, you know, man, moving is both stressful and enjoyable and joyful at the same time. Yeah. Stressful in the sense that. You're consolidating your life to a series of boxes and bags and. And it all until confined space to move it. And joyful in the sense that you are unpacking your life and placing it into a space that belongs to you. And yes, I wish

you success. And much joy in this move for you. And I hope that it is everything that you want and need it to be. Thank you. Well, it's still. A bit of time. I'll probably be renting the flat from like mid October onwards. And so I'm currently planning for the like second half of October to like get everything ready. And then properly move in at the

beginning of November. So, okay. So you have time. Yes. Okay. Good. Good. Yeah. Right now I'm just planning everything. Looking up like what things. I'm just taking longer to deliver. For example, some like what's it called a sideboard for the TV. For your TV. Yeah. I'm order that. And that text like I think it's at some website like 12 to 20 weeks. Wow. Because I mean,

I'm guessing it's it'll probably be made to order essentially. So that's taking quite a bit of time. Yeah, it is. And so just like organizing all that stuff and like when have I got to like register for electricity, when I've got when have I got to register for internet. And all of that stuff. You guys don't have Ikea over there, bro. We do we do have

Ikea. I'm already planning to get my bookshelves from Ikea. But the thing is Ikea has a very for the most part very simple style. Okay. And I'm not one for simple style. I much prefer like a more classic style. Like think. And that's not really what Ikea has. So like dark woods and bits. Yeah, with some detail and not just plain white or whatever. Got you.

Understand. And so it's actually quite hard to find things I really like and really want that also fit into my budget. Because of course that's always like sure you can go. Like on eBay and find antique, I don't know, wardrobes or whatever in really nice styles, but they'll cost you like 2000 euros. And so that's a bit out of my budget. So I always have to

look okay. Can I get this or do I find something in this style new for a reasonable price. Or do I have to spend time looking on eBay. Um, is there anything at all that fits what I need? How much space have I got to put this in? Should I get something different? All of that stuff. And so yeah, it takes up a lot of time.

But it's also fun. Because it's essentially. Yeah, kind of building your life, building your life in terms of where you live. And that's quite fun. Yeah. You're a young man. So this is definitely fun for you. Yeah. Exactly. So most of the things I don't have. Or if I have them, I'll be buying new things anyways. Because for example, I do have a desk, of course,

right now, but I want a desk that's like height adjustable. Because I'll continue to be one. Because I'll continue to be working from home a lot probably. And so it's way better for your back to, if you can stand up from time to time, working. Right. And so that's something I have to buy. Then like side bought new TV. All of that stuff. Bigger bed because

I have a quite small bed right now. Bigger wardrobe, everything essentially. I think they're actually almost there's almost no furniture that I'll actually move. I'll just most of the things will be new. So I just understand. I just don't congratulate you as my friend. It's good to hear. Thanks. No problem. So what else is going on, man? Anything in the news? Interesting. Any books anything you're

reading that interest you? Well, I haven't had quite as much time as I would have thought. I don't really like to read. For the news, I don't really listen to the news. I don't really read the news because most of the things there are either political or just news that you can't really do anything about. Smart me. And so I at least for me, I view

it as kind of as kind of pointless to like, in quotes, follow the news. And so I'm going to do something. I'll just get excited over the news because most things, unless they directly impact me or I can impact them. What good does it do me to be informed? Of course, it always does go to be informed. But I don't see the point of spending a

lot of time on that. So I book that. I've been reading lately is Don Quixote, which is of course a classic, an absolute classic. It's one can tell that it is in a modern novel. I mean, I think it was written in like 1500 and 80 or something or around 1600. And that is, that is quite funny. Though it's a big book. It's like a thousand

pages. And apart from that, I think I was telling you last time that I was reading a history of philosophy, right? Yes, you were. Yeah. And I'm still reading that because it's a very slow read for me. Because it's quite complicated. And I'm not always in the right frame of mind for reading it. For example, after like a busy day. I normally can't just pop down

for a half an hour. So I'm while I'm totally tired and read like philosophy. And so, yeah, I've been reading a more pressured again, laterally, Terry Pratchett, the Discworld series. Now, you've probably heard of the good Omen's TV show, which came out like two years ago. Once you say I have heard of it, I once say I've seen the show before, but I have heard of

it. Okay. So good Omen's was originally a book. And the book was written by Neil Gayman and Terry Pratchett. So that's how you might have heard of Terry Pratchett. Okay. And also just, I don't have you heard of Discworld. No. Okay. Discworld is essentially a book. It's actually like a fantasy book series written by Terry Pratchett. And it's like, I think, almost 40 books long. Wow.

The books themselves aren't terribly long, like 300 pages or so. And they're essentially a fantasy world. But with like always kind of connection or kind of satire of our world. And it's one of my favorite book series to read when I just want something fun and simple, because Terry Pratchett writes so, so funny stuff. It just every time I read a book of his, I laugh,

because it's, it's just great. You, you just pop down and have a good time. And yeah, it's, so I've been reading a bit more of that. Still got like, I think I'm a book 19 or something of the series. So I've still got about half of it to go. Which I'm quite happy about because I wouldn't want it to be over already, essentially. So yeah, I

can really recommend that if you have a come across a Discworld book. I may have to check that out. I only read like self-help books in science fiction books. So I'll have to check that out. Message me that. Who would, who would discord me get a chance. I'll do that. Yeah. So how's the team doing, bro? We're doing well. We're actually having a team meeting this

evening. Okay. And apart from that, well, floor's still working. And yeah, it's still going forward. Slower than we would have liked. But I think that's a perpetual problem of all technological ventures. But yeah, we don't have a timeline, timeline right now. But, yeah, we don't have a timeline, timeline right now. But, yeah, we don't have a timeline, timeline right now. But, yeah, we don't have a

timeline, timeline right now. We will share it probably on our Discord and probably also at least on our Twitter. Okay. Sounds good. I creep in and out of the Discord channel from time to time just to see what's happening there. I don't always interact with folks, but I'm always there lurking in shadows. Yeah. So it's good to see that engagement from the community with the team

and the other way around from the team to the community. Yeah. I'm always looking. It's always a bit difficult from our side, at least. When we're just like working away essentially. But we don't have anything substantial to share. And it's, it's, we don't know we are tell to perfectly handle that because we don't really want to stay silent. But we don't know what we could share.

And that's a bit of a problem. Also, of course, a bit of a problem with our team size, or rather with kind of people because we don't have anyone. Experience in like, I know public relation management or community management really. So. Once you, once you get done with the chainswap. Let's have a conversation. Let's have a conversation about that. I can, I can help get you

guys on track and pair you with a community manager. And help you put out regular updates, help you meet regularly scheduled deadlines for product development. I can, I can assist you with that. That sounds very good. Thank you. No problem with. No problem at all. So anything else today, my friend. Let me have a look around the room. I've got nothing at the top of my

mind. Hmm. No, nothing that I can readily see or think of, I think, have you got anything else? And the interesting things, books or maybe movies. Now, I was just talking to my wife about going to a driving movie. This coming weekend. Of course, she doesn't want to go. But I'm going to go because I want to go to the driving. Other than that, no, the

only thing I've been working on, like I said before, was just a cigar recon. I've devoted 99% of my available energy to that project. Yeah. That's my exit plan, my escape strategy from the nine to five world. So yeah, fully committed to that. Is there an online shop where I end. Your listeners can buy your cigars. Most definitely, www.secarricon.com, all one word, C-I-G-A-R-R-E-C-O-N.com. I'll be sure

to check that out. Yeah. And like I said, man, you know, I take the war coin. I take the war coin. You know, I forgot a good shipping price to ship it from here to Germany and I don't know if I've tried to go there. We can do that in the war. Okay. I'm happy to do that. Yeah, man. It's all about use cases. Exactly. It

just has to get more people to make these cigars. Yeah, there you go. That's all right. We have to have the community listen to the show and then we'll get them smoking more cigars. And then it comes in cycle. Yeah. Yeah. And what you'd have an amazing evening, my friend. I will do that. Ladies and gentlemen, my man, 50 grand, not a wizard from the New

York.
