Selling off a ton of my NFTs has been bittersweet. Below are some of my biggest learnings: 1. Don’t trust your favorite founders too much. Their incentives vs yours aren’t exactly the same. 2. Take profits consistently and constantly. Good times don’t last 3. Cut your

Reality is that there’s a lot more than just BLUR farming that led to decline of BAYC floor. There are 3 main reasons why people buy Apes: 1. Status 2. Club membership 3. $$ from future drops Would argue 1 and 2 are getting weaker and less relevant. 3 doesn’t work because

Probably the MOST important thing this cycle is timing when you swap your NFTs to ETH and … when you stable up that ETH. Don’t see majority of NFTs holding up their value against ETH as it goes up.

Spoke to Dith briefly a month back on switching up the game for WL. Both of us agreed current WL distribution is highly flawed and impersonal. Cant say enough good things about Dith, and excited to see what happens with this mint with programmatic WL 👀

People FUD . for not having anything on their roadmap while conveniently ignoring their bags haven’t done shit, either. Listen kiddos, space is hype driven. It wont change. I tried to be a moral agent but people DGAF. Just flip, hold or move on, lmao.

This tweet is neither an endorsement nor FUD for the project. I have presale bags. I likely flip and hold some depending on how things go. Either way, ALWAYS ACT IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS. Larping about morality (for most) is a joke.

I have had more than a few people ask me this, especially in recent weeks. Truth be told, I don't know. My biggest worry is giving back no value when I do something. I have seen countless LARPs/grifters "making it" off their followers, which is something I detest strongly.

Statistically, holding doesn’t work or makes sense for 99% of NFTs. You would be much better off flipping on mint day/pre-reveal. The current meta of “hold for tokens” is unsustainable. As more tokens are released, liquidity and mind-share becomes increasingly challenging.

Are you OG enough to have witnessed Hape or Invisible Friends mint? 10E floor right off the bat. Bull market vibes indeed. Now who’s going to buy some . for 100 SOL tmr? (yes, I have bags lmao…)

I have said it before and I will say it again. KaijuKingz has top 5 IP potential in the space. Think about the iconic IPs in Web 3 that are near seamless bridges to onboard Web 2. 🤖 🦍 🐧 🥷… 🦖?

Imagine being a fanboying puppet of another project that gave you nothing burgers compared to the one that literally made you. Couldn't be me.

And this is how great founders behave. Much respect to . Instead of making excuses, he took decisive action to sweep with treasury funds to ensure no one is left behind. In all my time in Web 3, this ranks as prolly one of the most honorable actions by a team.

Might actually be a good thing if Pudgy Penguins flips Bored Ape Yacht Club 🍌. Beyond that fact that they deserve it, it might finally put to bed this ridiculous idea that royalties are the “solution”. Sorry, just not a fan of that model, and have been openly against it since forever.

The fact that dozens of apes applauded the Yuga x ME marketplace at Apefest Hk just makes me go lol. Sure, we would love to pay royalties for buying our Apes at ATH and selling em at ATL 😂 Enough $$ has been raised, deliver and execute to perfection.
