Franke reveals the Wallet Ninja became one of the world's most counterfeited products "If we're talking about actual Wallet Ninja designs sold around the world, I'd estimate it's between 20 and 50 million because we became one of the most counterfeited multi-tools on the planet. At one point in Indonesia, airport security signs literally said, 'No knives, no scissors, no Wallet Ninja.' We were actually part of the official government sign."

Franke reveals he sold over 5 million Wallet Ninjas and became a multimillionaire before turning 20 "We sold probably around 5 million actual Wallet Ninjas. I was a millionaire by the time I was almost 20. I remember looking at my bank account while sitting on the toilet and seeing over $2 million. I paid off everything I owed, and I still had over $2 million left. I walked out and told my mom, 'I'm a multimillionaire.'"

Franke reveals he offered a company a $500,000 settlement before winning over $4,500,000 in court "They told me they had sold over a million units, so I said, 'Alright, let's talk settlement.' We offered them half a million dollars before litigation. We hadn't spent any money on lawyers yet. It would've been $500,000 in straight profit." "They came back with a counteroffer of $750, which is about one hour of lawyer time. Their lawyers kept telling us we didn't have a case, even after I showed them the two products side by side." "In the end, we won over $4.5 million in court. After all the appeals and legal costs, they ended up paying more than $7 million. I offered them $500,000 on day one, and they still chose to fight it. Let that be a lesson that ego is just like sand in the wind."

Threadguy thinks the next viral influencers will be onchain traders who stream "I think there's going to be a lot of very famous crypto traders and onchain traders that start infiltrating mainstream platforms. These guys are gonna get really popular if they're willing to put their face out there and make the kind of content that works on TikTok." "I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just telling you what I see. I think some of these guys are gonna get really, really popular, and it's already starting to accelerate." "I saw Rowdy the other day go live on Twitch with like 1,500 people. If you're pulling those kinds of numbers while trading onchain, you're becoming a mainstream internet personality."

Threadguy reveals his game theory for dating a girl who's a matchmaker "I met this girl, she came up to me and she was going for it. We were doing a little flirting, a little laughing, she was into it. Then she mentioned she was working on a new business. She said she's a matchmaker. I was like, 'What?'" "The obvious next thing to ask was, are you any good? She said she hadn't found a match ever. I hit her with the 'I wouldn't mind being the first' before I left." "She gave me her number, and later she double-texted me a link. It was her matchmaking service, telling me to sign up for a consultation. So now me and her are going on a Zoom call at the end of the week." "I was thinking I should go through the matchmaking service properly, recruit her as a wingman, and see what she can put together. Then, if I go 0-3, I'll fall back and say, 'We should actually go on a date.' 4 for the price of 3. If you go game theory on this, you're obviously going on the dates and then swinging it back."

Threadguy says the EA boycott could set a dangerous precedent for GTA 6 microtransactions "The boycott actually won. EA removed the paid progression options, which, in my opinion, is a massive deal. I don't know if we've really seen something like this before, where a coordinated backlash forced a game publisher to back down on microtransactions." "That's why I think it's important with GTA 6 around the corner. Rockstar makes a ton of money from selling copies of the game, but the real revenue comes from the microtransaction casino. I've spent hundreds of dollars on GTA 5 after buying the game." "If EA has set the precedent that if gamers get angry enough, companies will cut back on microtransactions. What's gonna happen when GTA 6 launches what is basically a casino inside the online game? I'm not sure that's gonna go over well."

Threadguy says America is losing elite athletes because youth sports are too expensive "The biggest problem with American sports is they are way too expensive. To play travel basketball at the level that I played, my parents were spending like $5,000 or $6,000 a year. People just can't afford that." "If Erling Haaland was an American, he'd probably be a Division III basketball player. Travel soccer in the U.S. is so expensive that kids end up playing whatever sport is the most accessible instead of the one they're best at." "That's why I think it's hurting our athletes. So much talent never gets the chance to develop because the system is simply too expensive."

Threadguy says LA felt like a ghost town the first time he came back after moving to NYC "I went back to LA for the first time since I left, and I'm gonna be honest, it's a ghost town. I was staying in Santa Monica on a Friday night, walking around at 9 PM trying to get dinner, and there was nobody there" "The streets were empty. It honestly felt like everyone had left. There's just no comparison to walking around Manhattan on a Friday night versus being in Santa Monica"

Steve loses $3,300,000 betting on World Cup matches "We lost $2 million on Mexico winning, plus another $400,000 on tickets and flights. Then my Ronaldo bet put us down another $2.4 million. I had a $420,000 Plan B to bet on the USA, but we lost that too. Plan B failed" "I have to give up $1.1 million in watches. We're down to about $1 million left in ammo, so we're putting $400,000 on a parlay: Argentina and Colombia to win in 90 minutes" "I'm gonna blindly bet $400,000, go to the spa, watch the Minions movie, and I'll find out later if I won or lost. We lost that"
