JUST IN: $META crashes 10%, wiping out $175,000,000,000 from its market cap today.



If you’re ever used our spreadsheets to find side events or do BD, I have a big update for you- say hello to our added features!



This space has to change. Outsiders will keep seeing anything related to Web3 as a scam. They will never take crypto seriously unless we give them a reason to. For a while, it felt like we were actually maturing. People started caring about branding, products, work ethic, and accountability. Many of us have spent years working day and night to prove that brands born in Web3 can be treated like real brands, not just quick money grabs before someone disappears on vacation. I am tired of founders whining about their difficult lifes and mental issues after raising millions from their holders and going on a multi-year break for then to come back when things start to heat up and there is another opportunity to get some more juice from the holders. Fake bag based “positivity” will run this space into the ground. Everyone sees it, but too many people are afraid to speak up because of optics or because they do not want their bags to go down. Founders are regular humans. They are not gods. They have to be held responsible for what they build and what they abandon. When you form a community and start building a brand people fall in love with, those people spend their time, money, and energy supporting you. You do not have the right to cry about your IRL issues, vanish and expect them to wait forever. Difficult life is hardly an excuse, but I hear it more often nowadays, especially from the returning founders. Suprise: everyone is struggling. Spitting out your IRL problems as a reason why you can't run a brand doesn't call for sympathy, it's pathetic and desperate. You can pivot when needed. You can change direction. But you cannot just leave everyone hanging. Either put a final end to it, hand it to someone else, or finish what you started. There is no excuse for treating your community like dogs waiting to wag their tails when you decide to come back. And as a holder, you have every right to reject a founder who does not respect your time, your money, or your support. If this makes you feel a way, maybe take a second to reflect on why. If you agree, it is time to start rallying behind the people who have proven to care about their communities, their brands, and the future of this space. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.



hi friends🫡





Gm! We’ve got some ecosystem changes coming to @SpaceRidersXYZ over the next few weeks (long overdue). These updates will simplify the ecosystem (it’s messy right now) and better align incentives between the community and the team. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this.. how NFTs have evolved, where they’re heading, and how we can position ourselves for long-term success. It hasn’t been easy, but we’re starting with a few necessary changes that are well overdue. @cabralcf_ and I created Space Riders over 4 years ago, back in December 2021. We were both new to the space but ambitious about what we wanted to build. We didn’t expect to last a year, let alone four. But here we are. I love crypto, the people in it, and collecting jpegs So we’re doubling down on the simple, meaningful parts of web3 that help build a stronger community. All that said, these changes are about revitalizing what we’ve built and getting back to our roots. More to come :)
