@bepositive Congrats! Looks like an awesome project!

@JustinMezzell Spot on insights. Love seeing you speak up more.

I’ve worked in design / a public-facing career long enough to know that there’s always a sub-culture that exists merely to “dunk on you” (I saw it as an illustrator trying to break my way into the scene and I see it now). No matter what you say, they show up to remind you that “you ain’t shit”. Especially when they decide something isn’t for them. These pot shots are easy to toss out (especially from a place of having “made it”) and they say more about tribalism than they do about a universal bent towards the proliferation of art of technology and its impact on the future. But I’ll also say this: earnestly giving all of your might towards punching back and/or working to convince them won’t sway these folks. Neither will addressing them directly. (In a way, that’s the irony of even this tweet isn’t it?) In fact, there’s a real possibility you may never convert some people to believing in the ideal future state of what you’re building. And that’s okay! What matters is working as hard as you fucking can on the things that you know matter. What matters is giving your all towards something — and caring deeply about the outcome. What matters is that there are people on the other end that you know matter deeply; that regardless of the odds or the pre-written narrative, know that this isn’t checkers — it’s chess. No one is perfect, but I believe in what can be accomplished from those who care (even when it’s not cool to “care”) and what they can do with an activated community. No movement has existed separate from the people that drove it into existence. There is no one messiah that will deliver this space or any space — it’s in the collective efforts of those that are here, in working towards what they believe to be the next step for both art, technology, and the collective of all of humanity. Every project won’t be for every one, but I firmly believe everyone can find someone somewhere they align with. Because that’s the beauty of crowd-sourcing, elevating, and highlighting the best thinkers here and abroad. The whole of this space can win — if only we’re willing to allow the best of what this technology and this renaissance can enable to exist. You’re not just here because you’re crazy, you’re here because you saw something. Even when it looked wild, unlikely, and arguably “impossible”.

Personal pair of my @TheHashmasks nft sneakers(yes suspended for being historical asf 😎) I will be sharing my IP journey with @z1nkx_eth @HashmasksIntern

@HashmasksIntern @punk7642 Yes that’s “it was inevitable”! @LoroMasnah with the beautiful work. 🙌

@punk7642 Think I see a Hashmask there as well! Wall of NFT OGs. Is that yours? @8mmag

My CryptoPunks are being added to New York's most famous NFT mural! A thread on - 𝑮𝒐𝒕 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒔? - the highest utility NFT project I own 🧵👇

Hashmasks art is 🔥. 🐅

Been a fun day collecting Moonbirds. Have my squad set now and in my gallery (link below).

I just minted Archive of Feelings by Mika Tajima, the first series in the new @proofxyz x @pacegallery partnership. proof.xyz/collaborations…

Data is beautiful. Minting on March 15: Archive of Feelings by Mika Tajima and @PaceGallery x @proof_xyz. youtu.be/cHII1khXVk0

Not a fumble. There was no roadmap or promises. No marketing. No royalty contract. Founders released the project as a fine art collectible. They provided actual utility with NCT. Hashmasks should be recognized for their art, innovation and historical significance. It’s not dependent on some third party delivering unsustainable and artificial value. Hashmaks will have its moment and will continue to appreciate over the long term.

@notneils legendary fumble borderline historic if you ask me

smh most of y'all prolly don't even remember the original accidental duplicate nft

@eth_ben @petrdu Do you think the 14th largest bank in the US is a “sketchy” bank? I’m sure you also know that Yuga had funds at SVB right? Proof had less than 50% of their treasury deposited at SVB. They were in fact diversified and did have 40 million in eth and stables as well.

To highlight a few: Collector profiles, and innovative dynamic backgrounds. (including partnerships with the biggest artists in the space) Lunar Society DAO funded with an initial 2 MILLION to support community initiatives. Deep dive research reports, weekly town halls covering the market, and daily content live on YouTube covering all news in the NFT space. Nesting rewards, raffles, merch and giveaways. The Oddities drop, DefyBirds and Mythics releasing soon. Incredible IRL events all over world. New York, Miami, LA, Tokyo, and a Europe tour. They have a 30+ person team that is experienced and well connected, they have more financial resources than just about anyone and have maintained a level of transparency and communication that is second to no one. They are just getting started and building for the long term. The double standard is a joke.

@8mmag @JustinMezzell @NFTommo what are the tangible products you speak of?

Talk is cheap. It’s easy to take shots for engagement. Playing constant defense is a diminishing value of return. What changes things will be shipping great product and changing the narrative by action. Let them talk. Until they can’t ignore something special that’s happening.

@ashrobin @JustinMezzell @NFTommo Proof and Moonbirds have accomplished more and delivered more tangible products than just about every other NFT project out there. In less than a year. What are some things of substance that other projects have done that make them worth investing in? Very curious.

@JustinMezzell @NFTommo Actions speak louder than words. Still waiting for something of substance to show that moonbirds is worth investing in amongst all the other NFT projects out there who are actively working and making their members happy

Loving my DefyBird Monster! 🔥🔥🔥 Shoutout to @DesLucrece and @moonbirds for the sick collab!

And just like that, a wild Monster appeared! Born of both flame and feather. Best to Proceed with Caution… proof.xyz/rewards/defybi…

Hate Proof all you want but no one is delivering more. They just keep providing real tangible products of the highest quality. The double standard is honestly laughable at this point. 🦉🥃

Love this idea!

@adidust @midjourney Haha so cool. Let’s go!

@8mmag @midjourney As cool as owning a #Porsche 😎 😎🙌🔥

Saturday fun experiment. Reply with the 3 most used emojis and I will turn them into images with @midjourney. For example here is what my most emojis look like imagined with AI: 👍😉🔥
