These are the market conditions that discourage money-motivated projects. There is no ETH price at which web3 becomes less interesting. Back to work. 🛠
I was just hacked, stay tuned for details - please avoid buying any squiggles until we get them flagged (just lost 25) + a few other NFTs (an autoglyph) ...
It's a shame what's happened to

, the site is counting clicks as votes? Very odd. I'd like to buy it and return it to the old v2 before the redesign. I'll offer you $1M, which is 4x the purchase price.

Today, we’re announcing that

are moving to the CC0 public license.
We believe this move honors and respects the values of the internet and web3 and starts a new and important phase of the project. 🧵...

this is likely my 10th or so crypto downturn. the first few were tough. just remember china introduced paper currency and it took europe 500 years to adopt the idea. this is happening much faster. shifting my thinking to decades not days/months/years helped. wagmi
Listening to people question the legality of

📺. Individual investors publically sharing option strategies is way less shady than a handful of hedge funds moving the markets with billions of dollars behind closed doors
I believe web3 is in the process of rebooting itself. NFT-wise, there will be reorgs and consolidations. From this will emerge new systems that reward artists, builders, and collectors -- but it's going to take time to build. I'm buckled up. 💺🫡
For years, the cryptopunks average sale price was sub $100. Then came the next wave: builders launched new marketplaces, novel drop mechanics, generative art, etc. -- and with that, fantastic contemporary artists flooded in -- we entered the bull. 1/3

Huge news,

in < 24 hrs, we just took the top spot in NFT 30-day volume (203M+); the hype is real... back to work tomorrow, the next 90-days will show that we have the grit/team to deliver on the hype. LGLG. 🙏🦉

@yugalabs
- they have a very ambitious roadmap and are going for it. This is the year we lay out and ship ambitious plans for our universe. Not a web2 app, but something bigger, uniquely ours, and with w/an eye toward bringing value back to our holders
Too many new NFT projects using what is becoming a tired playbook. I'm going to avoid buying new projects that have 10,000 unique [insert animal], where they swap out 3D glasses, hats, hair, necklaces, and skins.
Quick 8hr trip to SF and back, big things/deals coming :). I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be building in this space, forever grateful to you all. 🙏 (🥃,🦉)

If your going to invest in an NFT fund, your best bet is likely joining a DAO. You’ll learn more from the organization, and have on-chain transparency.
Some great progress over the last few days (hello from NYC), locking down the NFT NYC venue today, hired another engineer, and making a ton of progress on Highrise v.5 and v1.0 product spec. 🙏🦉
GM. 🌞 We're working on a handful of fun brand collaborations for Moonbirds (in the coming months). That said, we're ramping up to do more; any companies/collaborations you'd like to see from us?
I was on the

podcast today (episode releasing soon), full detailed history around

, including future plans. This will be a great episode 🙏🦉
We’re trying an experiment, going for a little more transparency. here is one of our internal meetings (employee faces blurred) discussing our upcoming roadmap 🥃🦉
Was told a story this morning about someone being bullied for buying a moonbird. This concerns me for all of web3. When did owning a PFP turn into a war? Big thanks 🙏 to all the moonbirds supporting each other AND other projects.
For me,
@BoredApeYC
has been such a powerful phenomenon & inspiration, their ongoing evolution & PFP rewards are brilliant. That said, we're designing
@moonbirds_xyz
differently. We want to provide the lion's share of rewards weighted towards the long-term holders. 1/3
just got a sneak peek at

's upcoming NFT project. Imagine an NFT that holders derive real-world value that unlocks over time...it's a crazy fun idea, with Gary going above and beyond. excited to see this all go down on 5/5!
Hi all, we're seeing more "Moonbirds" titled collections on OpenSea, we're working on having these removed to avoid confusion. Note: We love MB inspired projects/fan art, the only thing we ask is to avoid using the Moonbirds name 🙏
GM. What a wild and turbulent few months... Now that we're half way through the year, I wanted to post a mini 'State of Moonbirds' -- a thread 🧵... [1/18]
Hello from day 3 of Covid (1st time). Sadly I won’t be at VeeCon this year, I was hopeful I’d recover quicker. Not getting any worse but completely drained of energy + body aches. Talk soon 🙏 P.S. -

Bezos leaving $AMZN is obviously a huge deal. But the insane buried story is that Amazon revenue in Q4 was up 44% YoY(!!), imagine a business at that scale growing 44%, just nuts...I still think they are undervalued.
I finally understand the attraction to vinyl records. It's not just nostalgia. The sound is similar to our memory of the song -- fuzzy and imperfect. A good flawed album is like listening to a memory. If that makes sense.
This morning, Genesis, the lending platform powering Gemini Earn, announced that they have paused withdrawals. We're not fancy; we hold ETH in a SOC1/SOC2 compliant multi-sig custodial solution and USD in a top-tier financial institution. Zero funds lost, zero funds held back. 🫡
gm. fun fact: historically painters moved from wood panels and stones to canvas in the 16th century. initially, canvas paintings were regarded as less important. portable, you could roll them up, less permanent. -- eventually the world embraced their advantages. sounds familiar?
