I admire that @RTFKT has taken the NFT space and how innovative they have tried to be. But let this be a cautionary tale how multinational brands will take web3, hallow it out, and leave nothing but the shell behind. Enough for me. Exiting and moving clone portfolio into Azuki

Taking (REAL) offers on all my top rarest of the rare Clones. Market prices, no stupid offers. Will trade to clone floors or azuki floors. 3 ALIEN - 3x murkami drip - 2x murkami drip - floor 1 CLEAN Murkami DNA (2x murkami drip) 8 Alien AF1 2 MK DNA AF1 6 MK Drip AF1

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike You should derisk for sure Don't leave entirely imo, I had a ton of azuki dusting zaga fud, I dumped most but kept some, have 3 and never went azuki-less I'd do them same if I had cloneX rn, dump the high value ones and keep liquid floors + one I would like as a pfp

@FuZzyy_14 @RTFKT @Nike It's a different kind of FUD. Nike controlls the project now and long term, this is not good at all for holders or the web3 community. I don't see it changing. CloneX has been great for floor holders of quanity. I went to the rarest which was a huge mistake.

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike This is becoming a bigger issue with NFT projects. The brands being built in Web3 are being utilised by traditional brands who just see the community as baked-in early customers.

@en0tsNFT @RTFKT @Nike Truth. It’s why my first choice is to back native web3 brands who’s core origin DNA is web3. @RTFKT shows you clearly what happens when a large brand acquires a native web3 nft brand. The web3 just becomes an empty shell…

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike I more i wont even my clonex bag to yours, but i literally wanted an exposure to rtfkt ecosystem and bought a mnlth 2 like 3 days ago and i already feel rugged, doubt i will ever consider buying a clonex now

@tareqkrunz @RTFKT @Nike Sorry to hear man. @RTFKT did terrible wrong here to their community by not saying mnlth and cryptokicks were just a 20 percent discount ticket to the forge. And for keeping the shipping restrictions secret all while keeping royalties at max and pumping floor prices with teases

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike “Rugging” the ecosystem is a very loaded statement lol shipping restrictions/export laws are a real thing and have to be taken into consideration I wish that this wasn’t the case, and I know the team is working on solutions. When RTFKT stops building then you can say it’s a rug

@cas3333333 @RTFKT @Nike 1) Royalty fees MAXED for months 2) Pumping floor price and volume with emoji teasers. 3) Encouraging secondary buys at 1-10 ETH then 1) reveals utility as 20% off coupon for a PUBLIC forge. 2) shippable only to US. 3) Withholding this info since genesis Not rug behavior?

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Shareholder value will be the driving force behind every newer NFT project As royalties trend to zero, teams and VCs need to get money elsewhere — and regular mints and releases will be the norm. Bad news for casual collectors, bad news for genesis project value. 📉📉

@TheNorwegianNFT @RTFKT @Nike Yep. Hopefully we see other methods other than the kind of tactics the RTFKT team pulled in a way that satisfies the web3 community and shareholders. A balance has to be maintained between the two forces. Brands have to make money somehow, I get it, but what @RTFKT did is not it

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Art.

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Always sad to see a member of the community go but this is not the way. We were here for azuki when it turned out that the founder of azuki was a "scammer" in the past but now that rtfkt made a somewhat minor misstep, it's the end of the project. Not cool bro...😕

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Totally Agree with you bro and also lets not forget that web3 aint just USA even if there is an American dominance in the space terribly wrong to have those shipping restrictions and announce them at the last minute

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Hey Grail, I own a few Clone X and felt the same way. What they did with MNLTH was nothing more than a total sham and a lot of people commenting need to call it for what it is.

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Facts!

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Why I sold my clones months ago. I did hold 6 MNLTH 2 still and faded judgement to sell

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike Yup! The MNLTH 2 was my entry into the ecosystem. WAs happy about it, but not now just lost it all and will just sell it now since I have no more use of it haha

@graildoteth @RTFKT @Nike 💀💀💀💀💀
