@Meat_netrunner @NetrunnerTax Very unfortunate news and I’m sad to see this. Thank you for what you and the team contributed to the community and the space! It helped me with such a grueling tasks—making it slightly more bearable. Good luck on your next endeavors 🫡

This one hurts. @NetrunnerTax is winding down this month. Users will need to generate and export their reports by 30 April. Incredibly proud of the product we built and the journey from v1 -> v2 but it wasn't enough. To those who've supported us over the years, thank you.

@chrxsafc Graduation, Yeezus, Pablo

You can only keep 3 Ye albums the rest are gone forever. What are you choosing?

The sound is consistent throughout the album really showing the most polished album of the vulture era. A goated 3-track run. However, maybe 5-6 songs are really good and everything else is forgettable or lackluster. If he leaned more into the vibe of those 5-6 songs it would rival some of his best work. Ye still can cook, he just seems to scrap some of his best work in favor of the sonics he wants the album to have.

How do we feel about Bully after we’ve had some time with it?

@AndreWGMI Keep going! I am not a content creator or anything of that nature but I have not been getting engagement and have been losing followers. Thought about pivoting elsewhere as CT just isn’t as lively as it once was. But don’t give up, keep on clicking (posting) 🫡

My X reach is dead...I don't understand why or how, but it seems like nobody sees my content anymore... As a content creator, this is devastating. But this doesn't mean I give up. I will take it back from the origins and scale it up again. If this post somehow reach your feed, give a like, or a comment and help a fren out! Thank you 🙏

What a sad read. Seems like this is the common play out for most NFT projects anymore. Instead of retiring the project–it’s just extract as much as possible and crash and burn the community. Was tempted to hop in with the dip but seems like it’s best to steer clear. Hopefully you came up with more than you started with despite your loyal being betrayed!

We Were Never His Community. We Were His Fundraise. | Full Long Story Let's start with something most people get wrong. @armaniferrante didn't build Mad Lads alone. @tristan co-founded Coral with him, co-founded Backpack with him, and was the person who spent over a year curating the community before the mint even happened. The allowlist process, the culture, the "WAO — We Are One" identity — that was Tristan's work. Him and @monkdoesnt. They made Mad Lads a name that commanded genuine respect across the entire Solana ecosystem. There's something worth noting. FTX collapsed in November 2022. The Mad Lads mint happened in April 2023, months later, as Solana was still trying to find its footing. Looking back, that mint wasn't just a community launch. It was a lifeline. A way to rebuild and fund the exchange Armani actually wanted to build all along. We were the funding round. We just didn't know it at the time. After Tristan and Monkey left, everything that came after is Armani's legacy alone. The community started hollowing out slowly. The Mad Lads Twitter went quiet. Discord went cold. New Backpack employees had zero respect for Lads holders, some distanced themselves publicly, some talked openly about not caring. But Armani kept saying the right things. Community matters. Loyalty matters. So we stayed. Then the Backpack Exchange announcement dropped and we lost our minds, in the best way. We bought more Lads immediately. At that point Mad Lads was genuinely bigger than Backpack as a brand. The name carried more weight, more trust, more recognition. We thought: this is it. We are the face of something that could become the next Binance. Our patience is about to pay off. Then came the Seasons. Trading points, volume based rewards, the promise of a $BP airdrop. Mad Lads holders are not traders, we never were. We are believers, holders, community people. But we didn't want to be left behind. So we tried. We generated volume. Lost real money. And told ourselves: it's fine, TGE is coming, he won't forget us. Season 2. Season 3. Still no utility for Lads. Still no mention of Lads. The only thing we ever received was a fee reduction on the exchange, a benefit built for traders, given to a community of people who aren't traders. By that point, I don't think they thought about us much at all. The signals were everywhere. Mad Lads Twitter stopped posting. Armani became active on Backpack Discord and went silent on Lads Discord. His language shifted from "our community" to "Mad Lads are not our product." When KOLs posted hit pieces on Backpack, who was in the replies defending him every single time? Lads holders. Always. Someone slid into my DMs, an ex-Backpack employee. Said simply: "Lads will not get an airdrop." I dismissed it. We all did. We thought Armani was filtering out farmers. The real ones would be taken care of. He values loyalty, right? We chose to believe that. When people close to the team started posting about "all the airdrops Lads already received," we read between the lines. The message underneath was obvious: you already ate, stop asking. But we held on. When Armani posted "NFTs might be dead but Lads are just getting started" we took it as confirmation. He still sees us. He didn't. Then the snapshot. The tokenomics. The number that made the whole community go silent. One percent. Not for bots. Not for farmers. For the people who had been there from the beginning. Who defended him publicly. Who absorbed trading losses to generate volume for his exchange. One percent for the backbone. The response when the community asked why? Simple. Cold. You already ate. Then came yesterday, one day after the TGE. As community managers have now confirmed, newly traded Mad Lads will no longer receive VIP status on Backpack. If you held before, you are grandfathered in. But anyone buying today gets nothing. No utility. No benefit. No connection to the exchange we spent years supporting. He waited until after the airdrop to quietly close the door. No announcement. No explanation. Just policy. That is not an oversight. That is housekeeping. The community served its purpose, the token launched, and the last remaining thread was cut the very next day. Here is what I believe now. Armani got lucky. He got lucky that Tristan was brilliant at building community culture from the ground up. He inherited loyalty that most founders spend years trying to manufacture. And instead of stewarding it, he extracted it. Quietly, gradually, until there was nothing left to take. Mad Lads was never the goal. Backpack was always the goal. Mad Lads was the vehicle that got him there. Once it served its purpose, it got parked. And the tragic part? It didn't even work. The TGE underperformed. The trader community is fractured. Chinese holders are rising up over witch-hunt accusations. He distanced himself from the community that loved him unconditionally and couldn't hold the one he replaced us with. Mad Lads gave Armani everything. Capital, credibility, cover, and community. We were there when nobody else was. We made Backpack look legitimate before Backpack had earned that on its own. WAO. We Are One. We meant it. He never did.

@SorcererTrading Hi 😊

Deleting in 24 hrs, whoever Iikes and says “hi”, we’ll send you a surprise dm! 🧙‍♂️

@HoopsCrave Probably went back to Epstein’s island 🥀

Jay-Z has reportedly left the U.S. to an undisclosed destination.

Honestly such a god tier way to lean into competition. Most teams would just attack each other. Disc I own $SOL and have been adding and am an Angel in @monad

@sol_nxxn $ZEUS was such a disappointment 😭

These tokens haven’t been this down in a long time - or ever Some of them might not make it back. But for others, this is one of the best entry opportunities we’ve seen in a while. What are you buying? 🤔

Be honest with me… is there any reason to hodl NFTs anymore?

@coinfessions Wrong. Having no loyalty is the best play if you want to make money. Support products, tech, communities, teams but just know when things are just hype or time to move on. Being loyal would only leave you going down with the ship which unfortunately happens 98% of the time.

After 4 years in crypto, I've come to the conclusion that having no integrity is the best play if you want to make life changing money.

@MissSassbox Same vibe tbh (I’d try both)

who decided that we needed cake inside of a can and thought that would actually be a delicious idea because I would like to fight them

@solanaspaces Probably one of the best rebrands in this space

Is it just me, or is our new brand sexy af

@topo_g I got my son one of these to introduce him to gaming and he seems to love it and they aren’t too pricey. If you familiar with roms and emulators this thing is perfect and plays a wide variety of games (and a good amount come preloaded) miyooofficial.com

Should I buy my toddler a Nintendo Switch?

Is @frankdegods's absense bullish or bearish for @DeGodsNFT? I remember last year he was looked at as a genius making what seemed to be forward thinking calculated moves.. looks like he was the hero turned villian this cycle. Crazy how fast this space changes.

@EthsColeee @toly No better person to do it than HIM

@MrFexil @toly NFT CTO lead by HIM

I think what @toly is trying to tell us is that it’s time for NFT’s to be great again. Am I getting this right, Toly?

@toly Return to caaw. ✅OG ✅independent (now) ✅ Supports Solana and ecosystem ✅ underrated AF ✅Caw

jfc, which of these pfp's hasn't been cancelled yet? nfteyez.global/accounts/toly.…

@WatcherGuru Wtf kind of activity would happen on chain? Porn?

JUST IN: Kanye West says it's "time to launch my own blockchain."
