This is such an unfortunate tweet by someone I otherwise have tremendous respect for.
Many will now think it’s OK to publicly bully those around them. If the richest man in the world does it, it must be OK, right? Bill Gates can handle it. Others not so much.
Really bad look.
There's actually a MAJOR PROBLEM with the new Twitter PFP feature.
It appears to work for ANY NFT in your collection. Not just verified collections.
That means someone can just right-click-save any NFT, mint it, and then use it as their PFP 😢
You were so close Twitter. Why 😭
I was on the news tonight talking about

Btw they labeled me an "NFT Expert" without even telling me ... that wasn't self proclaimed 😅
Onward and upward. WAGMI 🚀
Kind of amazing that a company worth billions with so many smart people behind it could fuck something up this royally.
The amount of ETH that's being lit on fire right now is unprecedented.
There was no thought put into this whatsoever.
@yugalabs
This is deflection, not responsibility. There were a dozen ways you could have mitigated this irresponsible waste. What you should have tweeted was “We f’d up. We own that.” Still love BAYC but this was not a good day for our space.
Well, I did it. I aped in. I saw my opportunity and took it. I'm excited. I'm terrified. But every part of me believes this was a good decision🍌 And I have a pretty good track record with this stuff 😉

Follow me, like, RT & tag friends who might like this masterpiece in their wallet 🖼️
Decided to sell my $APE and made $141k 🤯
I think it's very possible I'll regret it later. But my general investment strategy with NFTs is keep the chickens & sell the eggs 🐔🥚
I don't generally hold tokens 🤷♂️
I hope it moons for everyone with diamond hands 🚀

@Radrappy
Watching this show with my 5 year old has been genuinely special. Thank you for all you’re doing and we can’t wait for the new season.
Btw I felt that I needed Amphibia represented on my statue wall - so I had this custom made. Proud to have Sprig up there with the others!
I've known from the very beginning of my NFT journey that one day I'd own a Punk.
I messaged the owner of
#4888
over a year ago. It's the single Punk in the 10,000 collection that looks most like me IRL.
But he was the original minter and wasn't willing to sell. So I…
Roughly 12 years ago I went out to play golf and was paired up with someone very unique.
He didn't wear a shirt. Had an unleashed dog. Was barefoot. And was carrying a very old bag of clubs.
He proceeded to play lights-out golf; scratch or better.
After a few holes I asked…
So I hear "1 ETH = 1 ETH" a lot in this space.
But I've generally observed that whenever ETH rises, floor prices decline. Which indicates that people still care about the USD value of their

Gotta love when regional anchors call you ridiculous on live TV 😅
Had a bit of fun educating them 😉
I technically don't need to work anymore.
But I'm putting in 12+ hour days now 7 days / week.
This doesn't feel like work. I absolutely love what I'm doing and the people I've partnered with.
The NFT space is freaking amazing.
Also I'm going to drop a bomb on ya'll soon 😉
If the only reason you're here is to make money, you're having a bad time for sure.
For those of you that believe in the long-term applications and value of NFTs - take a deep breath & remember: we're ridiculously, ludicrously early.
This is not the end - it's the beginning.
OK it's obvious from the comments that most people don't understand the significance of what's happening tonight. So let me give you a TLDR.
In about 5 hours, essentially for the first time, people will be able to create memecoins on Bitcoin.
There will be hundreds of tickers…
My initial reaction: I fucking hate this.
Great for Moonbirds holders who wanted an exit. Nothing wrong with them celebrating it.
But Moonbirds has been one of the worst run projects in the history of NFTs. They made close to $100m and didn't follow through on their promises.…
Yuga Labs has acquired
@PROOF_XYZ
, which includes PROOF Collective,
@Moonbirds
, Mythics,
@oddities_xyz
, and
@Grails
exhibition series.
For more information, see the official Yuga News blog:
I bought 1 ETH of $PEPE on 4/17.
I sold it for 4 ETH on 4/20.
If I had held it through today it would have been worth 28 ETH.
But in another world it went to zero. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Congrats to the diamond hands!
Maybe I'll buy back in at some point lol
Prediction: MekaVerse will have a 3 ETH floor by this time next week. And will be below 1 ETH by the end of the month.
Nothing against the project. I just don't see it maintaining its shimmer post reveal.
Goodbye dear friend 💔
I still love BAYC. I believe in Garga/Gordon & the Yuga team. I'm still holding my Punk, 3987's M2 Mutant, BAKC, Koda, Otherdeeds & more.
3987 & BAYC have done so much for me on my web3 journey. I'm extremely thankful & always will be.
I'm honestly just sad right now.
Put aside all of the business reasons why this acquisition might or might not make sense.
Yuga acquiring Moonbirds and bringing Kevin on as an advisor is essentially putting a stamp of approval on what they did as a project.
That's the most…
I just sold my 233 ENS for 1.28 ETH; a $6k dividend for a domain I bought a month ago 🤯
So why sell? Because I asked myself "Would I spend $6k on 233 ENS right now?" The answer was no.
Each day you hold a liquid asset, you're essentially making a decision to repurchase it.
I keep a spreadsheet of every NFL bet I've ever made.
Over 9 years I've placed bets on 297 unique games.
Total bets are $160,255 with an average bet of $558.38.
On a W/L ratio I'm up 15 games.
On a total basis, I'm up $4.36.
Yes, 9 years, 297 bets, and I've made $4 😂

Fantasy Island just sold for 65 ETH 🤯
I bought it 8 weeks ago for 5 ETH.
I LOVE the project and hope to come back to it one day. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't 🥳 right now.
I wasn’t allowed to share this until now.
But I was honored to recently be invited onto the Yuga Gaming Council & given early access to test (and provide feedback on) the new release of Dookey Dash.
Yuga has put a lot into this one. They took what was already a fun, addicting…
I don’t know who needs to hear this.
But you’re not “investing” in meme coins. You’re gambling.
And ALL of them will eventually go to zero. Could be in an hour, a year or longer. But it’ll happen at some point.
Stop telling people the next big thing is here. This isn’t it.
@Rafsby
Here’s the hard truth that most NFT founders have to eventually learn.
You think you’re selling a product and people are buying it because they love what you’re doing and want to own one.
But 99% are really just speculating/gambling and have no interest in what you’re actually…
@Ozzny_CS2
@Dexerto
NFTs are a technology; not a product.
It's the ability to provide someone ownership of a digital asset on a public blockchain. Which means it could be leveraged by ANY game instead of confined to just one.
E.g. If a CSGO skin was an NFT, and you stopped playing CSGO, another…
Nothing against Moonbirds. Wish the project and its holders nothing but luck and success.
But the price is essentially the same as MAYC?
One is entry into the most successful NFT project in history with a multi-billion dollar company & track record behind it.
The other isn't.
Yuga's strategy of keeping everything close to the vest isn't working anymore.
I saw the Kodamara announcement yesterday and all I could think of was "why do I want one of these?"
I own 9 Otherdeeds, 26 Mara and a weapon Koda. I'm a gamer. I'm a web3 degen. I've logged into…
ETH has really warped my view of money.
I was seriously debating if I needed a new iPhone and whether I should spend the $1,000.
Yet last night I impulsively made a 2 WETH offer on an NFT I don't really need without batting an eye.
2 < 1,000 ... right? 😅
So…those Vitalik NFTs I bought at 0.055 and tweeted about 45 min ago…
They’re at 0.35 now 😂
Only bought 45 of them but pretty psyched I didn’t miss it entirely lol
What's your most embarrassing
#NFT
mistake to date?
Mine was paying 0.35 ETH for this rare mecha-pickle because some random whale tweeted for days that they were going to pump due to inside information.
It never happened. And now it sits in my wallet mocking me 😂
Someone messaged me earlier and said "you own an ape, so you're obviously smarter than I am."
Just because someone owns an expensive NFT doesn't make them smarter than you. Or harder working. Or a better investor. Or anything at all.
It just means they own an expensive NFT.
The 🧪 is now in my possession.
But my ape is scared 🙈 He needs encouragement 🍌
He promised to drink both as soon as this tweet reaches 1,000 likes 🍻
Can you help him out?

At this point
@goblintownwtf
has become one of my favorite NFT projects.
Call them ugly. Say they don't deserve the success.
But they built a unique collection, gave it away free, promised nothing (explicitly) & have made it FUN via insanely clever marketing.

I'm not always right when it comes to NFTs. I've made some terrible calls.
But I've been right a lot more often than I've been wrong.
Bear market, bull market, shrug. My gut says that

is just getting started & that 3 ETH is a solid price.
Bought two more today.

Everyone saying ETH is dead.
Y’all know Base is an ETH L2 right?
And Farcaster is built on Optimism, an ETH L2?
And Blast is an ETH L2?
Need I go on? 😂
This FriendTech thing is fascinating.
It took me over a year to finally accept that 95% of the people in NFTs don’t want product; just profit.
Yet everyone posting about FT seem to have convinced themselves that people are buying their keys because of utility/access. As if they…
Many of you know that I founded a software company that I sold to Microsoft. But most of you probably don't know what that company did.
It was a gamification platform called FantasySalesTeam which companies could use to award points to employees for achieving their internal…
BAYC paid us some $APE to leave them alone and start a new account.
So we've added 150K $APE rewards across the Top 10 finishers of the Rift Boss Leaderboard. Forge on.

Seeing a lot of old faces pop back up on the timeline.
Make sure to remember who never left during the bear.
Those are the people to listen to.
And to support.
Attempted to run an NFT related ad on Facebook. Every single comment for two days has been nothing but grief about NFTs being scams.
Thankful for NFT Twitter. And reminds me how incredibly ridiculously early we really are.
I just won the Shadow Hat auction from
@forgottenrunes
for 2.5 BTC 🤯
I'm still in shock. This was not something I really planned or even thought I'd have the opportunity to buy. I legitimately had to discuss this purchase with my wife. 2.5 BTC is a LOT of money for an NFT.
But…
Yuga is playing chess ♟️
They just drove demand for Otherdeeds + Kodas w/ LOTM announcement.
HV-MTL reveal is this week which will drive demand for that + BAKC drivers.
Then before you know it, as always, they'll remind us that BAYC/MAYC are membership.
Who's here for it? 😉

I haven't been this bullish on a project since I bought my ape 🍌
I keep seeing posts asking if folks are old enough to remember things like N64 and Gamecube.
Fuck man. I grew up on 8-bit Nintendo and OG Gameboy lol
Am I the only one here that's 40 years old? 😅
Was surprised to get phone calls just now from both Garga and Daniel.
I shared my thoughts/feelings on the acquisition & heard their perspectives.
While my view hasn't fundamentally changed, I do genuinely appreciate that they reached out to listen to feedback.
I couldn't sleep not having exposure to

I encourage anyone making profits from Checks VV to consider doing the same.
Someone asked me this morning if they should buy a MAYC. That they'd wanted one for a long time and thought this might be the right entry.
I told them I can't know if this is a good price or not; that it could go up or down based on any number of factors.
However, I did make…

I give up. Not going to post my buys anymore. Sorry, I’m done.
Every single time I try to post what I’m buying I take heat for it. I’m either too transparent or not transparent enough. Tbh, it’s just not worth it. And f’ing mentally exhausting.
Btw I’m not the evil monster…

We had a pipe leak & the plumber handed me an $850 bill. It felt like a lot.
But then I told myself "it's only 0.3 ETH" & it seemed far more reasonable.

Even though overall I made a little money, I'm over this meta. It's not fun. And stressful.
