🧵 Good ol' thread update! 1/12 So our web3coffee drop☕️🐧 didn't get the traction we hoped for 😔 International shipping was the biggest killer. We're based in Thailand, and costs are brutal now. So our 2nd Overpass deal will be on hold for now! More details below 👇

@FoxyPenguinApe @pudgypenguins

I spent 10 years learning how to make strangers feel like family Then I brought that skill to @pudgypenguins and it changed everything Here's the story: My family owned properties, hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues across Asia. Growing up, I learned from my dad negotiates in meetings to memorize the names of guests and even details like their dietary restrictions By the time I was managing things myself, I understood something most people in business miss: the small stuff is the big stuff. A birthday call matters more than a pitch deck. True heartfelt intention matters the most 💙 I carried that everywhere. But I had no idea it would end up being the most valuable skill in crypto My bestie @pudgyray got me into buying pudgy penguins nft right when Luca Netz bought the project with $2.5M and gave all of us a reason to believe again It wasn't just about the penguin it was about finding a place that felt like home And I could see it in action as the people in the community were different. They actually cared about each other I started as @pudgymalaysia lead, growing the community from 30 to 300 members in a short time. Not long after, I joined the Pudgy team and eventually stepped into the role of Asia Lead and President @penguasia What followed was the craziest year of my life, managing partnerships with global legacy brands, 100+ meetups across KL, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Korea in cafes to big events, all this on a limited marketing budget Among all the partnerships, one that meant a lot to me was with BE@RBRICK Japan’s biggest collectible brands Their first ever collaboration with an NFT project, limited to just 800 pieces, their lowest supply It took six months of showing up, building trust and proving that we’re not just a project but a real brand with real people behind it 🐧 Three years later, I'm still here building belongingness for ones who rep Pudgy in any way I'll be sharing what I've learned about bullding across cultures, closing brand partnerships that wasn’t easy for young IP and why I genuinely think Pudgy Penguins becomes one of the most recognizable IPs in the world I've got a lot to say. This is the start💙

4 vs 1 🐕‍🦺... It was not a fair fight 😞

@NokkoNull Thanks Nokko!!

@UnchainedDaniel Congrats brother

Hey CT, quick update. Tried to stay plugged into Web3, but my focus is Web2. That’s where the real action is for my coffee business. The goal is clear. Scale with a real path to profitability with my coffee business. Eventually, I want to tokenize Coffee Culture and bring the @AbstractEllies community along for the ride. How exactly? Not 100% clear yet. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been strengthening connections with hotels. A few new clients are in the pipeline, though things move slowly in the corporate world. Our first major KOL partnership is getting close. ☕🚀 We’re also in talks with a large retailer in Hong Kong and an importer in Russia. Unfortunately, our Qatar partner isn’t moving forward for obvious reasons. We’ve also found a path to FDA approval for our capsules and potentially our drip bags. That unlocks the US market, which is huge for us, but it will take some time. Overall, the action is in Web2 right now. Building solid revenue and establishing strong sales channels is the priority. ✌️🙌

@Uromastyx25 🙌

@UnchainedDaniel Keep building bro

@amyourlord 💯

@UnchainedDaniel Building is the key 🔑

@AbiaziemEmeka @AbstractEllies Thanks Anthony!!

@UnchainedDaniel Hey bro, love the update That's massive! 🤯 👏 Take your time figuring out the tokenization piece. The @AbstractEllies crew will be ready whenever you bring us along for the ride. Keep grinding, we're rooting for you! 🙌✌️

@itlovve 🙏

@UnchainedDaniel Love this focus! ☕ Scaling Web2 first makes total sense before layering in Web3 🚀

🇺🇸🇪🇨Ecuador launched a massive military crackdown on drug cartels over the weekend, backed by U.S. logistical support, targeting criminal strongholds in Guayas, Los Ríos, and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. A nationwide curfew from 11 PM to 5 AM is in effect in coastal provinces until March 30, with 75,000 police and soldiers deployed to dismantle cartel networks that handle roughly 70% of cocaine flowing from Colombia and Peru.

2 years later, it is still crazy to see the transformation from Kham Phaeng’s conditions to where she is now 🙌🐘 @AbstractEllies

We have always taken a longterm approach to building Abstract. There have been numerous opportunities over the last 2 years for us to take shortcuts and pump up vanity metrics to appease critics. It's actually much easier than you might think it is. But we instead decided to build our ecosystem organically and work with teams that also want to build sustaining products that can achieve strong PMF. Most of the teams that came to quickly extract have either left or shut down at this point. In an ideal world, teams would have their exact plans perfect on day one. But that has never happened in the history of product building. The best thing you can do is learn and adapt your actions based on the feedback and demand you get. So we'll continue to do that as we grow our products and ecosystem. I'm incredibly excited for what's to come for Abstract.

@yotdog69 @Realeks_2 ❤️‍🩹

UNBOXING BITKUB STAY GOLD ขอบคุณ @BitkubOfficial ที่คิดถึงกันส่งของบำรุงสุขภาพมาให้ถึงบ้านนะค้าบ

@AdamWeitsman Doing my part to help share the love, hope 2026 will be even greater for @UnchainedDaniel & team x.com/i/status/20290…

The final proposal in Public Nouns DAO has happened (for now?) publicnouns.wtf/vote/80 Trees in a forest always die at some point. The coolest thing about nature’s life cycles is that those trees become part of the soil that feed nutrients into new living things allowing for new life to spring up. It’s not something to be sad about. It’s something to be excited about. Thank you to the entire Public Nouns community. It’s really the people that made this experiment the special thing it was 💚 💚 💚

@Drewfromweb3 So good!!

The Deconstruct Effect (AI Effect) Here’s How You Can Do It ✍️ (Step by Step tutorial)

Communities are built by people who care deeply, give generously, and keep showing up. This Women’s Day, we want to celebrate the incredible women in @pudgypenguins who have helped shape our community in so many ways. Happy International Women’s Day from Pengu Asia 🐧❤️

THAILAND VLOG - PART 4 (FINAL) 🇹🇭 Saw capybaras, some insane nature views, and wrapped up the trip Thailand was honestly incredible, 10/10 experience Vietnam next 🇻🇳

@QuintenFrancois Welcome to Thailand!

Just arrived in Bangkok! Now we chill and focus again on normal things.

@AdamWeitsman My fren @Son_wen_Moon mentioned this. I know I’m late, but maybe you’ll find it interesting We are aiming to rescue our 4th elephant with Web3 support: x.com/i/status/20290…

I really want to support a collection today since its Sunday but this time Im asking the entire X community to give me some suggestions! I promise to buy a 1/1 grail from that collection and post it up to give it some extra attention and visibility. Please comment on this post (not DM) with the NFTs name, where I can find it, why I should support it and what grail you think I should try to go after. I will make a decision by tomorrow night so feel free to share and repost this to get as many different suggestions in as possible! To make this even more fun I will pledge $5000 (approx 2.5 ETH lol) and also buy some floors from that collection to give away to some new collectors who might find money a little bit tight right now but show intrest in the space.
