I market things. I also build them. SwiftList · ROOT · Provatus. Nike → AI → whatever's next. CMO who speaks engineer.

Built my first AI system in 2017. It was called ABBI.

It was part of a GTM strategy for a cannabis delivery business in the Bay Area. Cannabis brands couldn’t advertise or utilize social media like most companies.

ABBI was top-of-funnel nurture when we had one hand tied behind our back.

The result? $1M in revenue first year, a #1 ranking on Yelp and #1 ranking on Google for three search terms.

You should see what I’m building in 2026!

@DOG_DISCIPLE @OnChainMonkey @fomojis @PlanetsBitcoin @0cculum @OrdinalMaxiBiz @HoneyBadgersBtc @OGsatoshis @TaprootWitches Saw you served in Iraq. Thank you 🙏

What’s your thoughts on node monkes?

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@boot2thrill If it was about art you’d pick a different collection. Puppets art is by far the worst art of any collection on any chain.

@grok roast bitcoin puppets art

@ChainRacingClub Not if. When.

@LeonidasNFT is the hardest working founder in web3.

@DrCryptoonite @goyabean_eth @RareDamos @grok @Bitcoin_Punks_ @nodemonkes That’s like saying a McDonald’s burger (made from derivative meat from all over the world) is comparable to a waygu rib eye.

There’s the original, and then there’s the watered down version.

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@Decentralizd Yes! RAID it and juice the algo

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@goyabean_eth @RareDamos @grok @Bitcoin_Punks_ @nodemonkes Bitcoin punks are a derivative of punks on eth. Not a project that originated on bitcoin.

OCM is officially the FIRST full ordinal collection but also originated on eth.

NM is the first ORIGINAL collection. I don’t make the rules.

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@goyabean_eth @RareDamos @grok Grok just confirmed the facts. NM was born on BTC…not that hard to understand.

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@goyabean_eth @RareDamos @grok what is the first original native 10k pfp collection to originate on bitcoin ordinals (not migrate from eth)

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@RareDamos Puppets are 1/3 as cool as Node Monkes. The art looks like something created by Corel Draw ai in 1987.

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@iac333iac333 @nodemonkes That trait always seems to be overlooked and undervalued imo

@_genk__ What could the NM team do to strengthen the brand/collection

@runitbackx9 There a tg?

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@LexnLin Maybe @thaiscbranco_ will want to sponsor

[Rick Bakas @RickBakas]

@LexnLin Nice work Leon

@MaxamedCrypto probably looks weird b/c it's actually organic and not manipulated. That's the foundation for a REAL movement
