2026 has been the year of alignment for Chimpers. In this thread I outline the steps we’ve taken to build deeper alignment across the ecosystem & community.

We’re excited to announce the Chimpers World Hub is now live! Explore the entire Chimpers ecosystem in one place, the story, characters, collectibles, and more. Dive in 🐒✨ world.chimpers.com

My entire feed is Claude, Wemby, and WW3. @grok replace WW3 with Sydney Sweeney like it used to be. Please and thank you 🙏

Introducing Kawaii Chimpers 🐒✨ A new era begins.

“could” suddenly this guy’s tech doesn’t work

the window of nostalgia

Hello fools. Goodbye midterms.

this pixel art took 3 months to make 🙇‍♂️

@SaintedKoala @GutterCatGang @javmdpr Yo! That cat is pure 🔥

@heyitsPants @GutterCatGang @javmdpr Pants good to see you fam! 🫡

Excited to see @GutterCatGang making moves again! The new contract was a long time coming for sure. Hey @javmdpr is there an X chat for holders?

$TTD after potentially working with OAI Massively oversold, could be a quick ride back to $40... just make sure to sell before it's announced they aren't actually working together.

Really happy to announce my pick for the 2nd amazing NFT collection that I feel does not got the full recognition it deserves. Wanted to show my support by acquiring this grail of the death and taxes ecosystem today. For those not familiar, D&T is a new art and social experiment by brilliant pseudonymous artist, @m0dest___ . It is the most ruthless onchain survival game in Web3. 6,969 citizens. A daily inflating tax. You either pay the protocol, or you evade - and risk other players auditing and burning your token forever. The final 69 survivors split what could be a massive treasury fueled by 93% of all taxes, fees, and royalties. With Homer now safe in my vault, if somehow I survive to the end of the game, I will donate all awards to our local Boys & Girls Club in Owego NY. Finally, I will be buying 5 NFTS off the floor of this project this week and will give them to collectors who are interested in this project but might find themselves a little tight on cash at this time. deptofdeath.xyz

i appreciate you taking the time to write this, and i deeply respect the conviction. hearing that you haven’t spent time in a collection this much since nakamigos means a lot. that’s exactly the kind of connection i was aiming for with the art. i completely understand your frustration with the current meta. the space has absolutely absorbed the hyper-transactional, predatory energy of memecoins, and it feels like attention spans are measured in minutes (or less lol) now. it's exhausting to watch people treat work that I obsessed over one by one like a disposable casino chip. Or a baseball card perhaps. but here is what I see as the reality of the ecosystem, and why i try not to let the flippers bother me : for any project to actually survive and build a foundation made of concrete, it requires a lifecycle. every healthy market needs three distinct types of participants: * the traders: they are the mercenaries. they have little to no loyalty, but they bring the initial volume, the eyes, and the necessary liquidity. they are chaotic, but without them, the engine doesn't start. * the believers: the ones who see the vision early. they signal to the wider market that there is actual substance beneath the noise and the gambling. * the custodians: the final destination. the collectors who hold the pieces not just for a multiplier, but for the culture, the art, and the history. and I do think it’s worth mentioning that sometimes… it’s actually the work that has th potential to move someone thru those participant types. sometimes the flipper becomes the believer. I think what we are seeing right now with the fast flipping isn't a failure of the space; it's just the sorting mechanism. it is the messy, volatile process of the citizens migrating from the hands of the impatient into the hands of the custodians. over time, the pieces always find their rightful homes. ironically, death & taxes is literally designed to accelerate this exact process. the mechanics will actively punish the purely transactional players and reward the convicted. let the mercenaries quietly move on to the next mint. the ones who remain are the ones this system was built for. thank you for being a custodian here. glad to have you in the system.

@m0dest___ @anonchain One of the better creator responses I've ever seen in this space tbh 👏

I know we don’t know each other well yet - but you’re doing the work the space needs. it doesn’t work unless creators push the edges and collectors recognize the effort. on a long enough timeline - you will be proven right, and rightfully rewarded. give me time. I’ll give you value. might be economic. might be relational. might be both. conviction is not easy. but it’s rarely wrong. regardless of the endeavor.

gm I don't know what to say. This is likely the last NFT collection I'm minting this year. The art is dope. Next level. Makes you scroll. Makes you think. I'm content to collect and hold. But too many of you will dismiss and forget about it to pump some slop a week later. I personally can't win in a market that cutthroat and exploitative. TBH I frown on all of you who hyped this up the same way you do everything else and then abandoned it just as quickly. This one should have been different, and I hope it still can be. But you would have to be a fool to still trust this market to show consistent support for those most deserving. It's time to discuss meritocracy. More gatekeeping. Pseudonymous verification. Collector reputation scores. It's time we separate the good collectors from the toxic traders who ruin it for all of us. Call them out. Sideline them. Exclude them. There are great collectors and creators here. We need to band together. Who's building this???

@mtracey Rubio going full trust me bro

Historic feats of pretzel logic by Rubio. The US had to attack Iran preemptively and "defensively" to defend US military forces massed in the region, because if Iran was attacked (by a US co-belligerent, Israel) the resulting counter-attack on US forces would've been very deadly

@m0dest___ ngl I paid my insurance and fled to Bali

@PeterLBrandt What a pathetic old man you are.

@timevalueofbtc This is exactly what Skynet would say to throw humans off the trail before taking over the world.

Many are going crazy over this Citrini piece on AI, so I asked Claude whether it was sensationalist and gave it a prompt to provide a critique. I use this on my own writing, by the way. This was Claude's take: "Okay, I've read it. Here's my take—yes, it's sensationalist, even if thought-provoking. Several holes: 1. Timeline is absurdly compressed. They posit ~2.5 years from "sector-specific layoffs" to 10% unemployment, 38% market drawdown, and systemic mortgage stress. Structural economic transformations don't move that fast. Even 2008—a financial shock with instant transmission—took years to fully unfold. Technology adoption has friction: contracts, inertia, implementation failures, regulatory drag. 2. "This time is different" is doing all the work. They acknowledge every prior tech revolution created more jobs than it destroyed, then hand-wave it away with "AI improves at the tasks humans would redeploy to." That's an assertion, not an argument. The same was said about the loom, the tractor, the spreadsheet. 3. They ignore the deflationary dividend. If AI is genuinely that productive, everything gets cheaper. Real purchasing power rises even with lower nominal wages. They mention "Ghost GDP" but never engage with the fact that deflation in goods/services raises living standards. Cheaper stuff is not a crisis—it's abundance. 4. Monetary/fiscal response is hand-waved. This is where your framework applies directly. They say the government is "confused" and leave it there. But if output is real and just not circulating through labor, that's exactly what monetary and fiscal policy can address. The Fed/Treasury toolkit is enormous. They even mention compute taxes and UBI-style transfers—so they know solutions exist, then ignore them. 5. The private credit → insurance → mortgage daisy chain is a stretch. PE-backed SaaS loans are not 2008 MBS. They're not in every pension fund, money market, and bank balance sheet. The "Athene-Apollo connection" is real but it's not systemically interconnected in the same way. 6. Mortgage stress is projecting a trajectory that doesn't exist yet. They admit delinquencies are "well below 2008 levels." Current mortgage book is 30-year fixed at 3-4% from 2020-21. Those borrowers have no incentive to sell into distress—they can ride it out. The 2008 mechanism (ARMs resetting, negative equity, forced selling) isn't present. 7. Agentic commerce routing around Visa/MC in 18 months? Payment rails have massive regulatory and consumer-protection inertia. Stablecoin adoption for commerce is plausible over a decade, not a year. Bottom line: It's a useful thought experiment but assumes (a) AI improvement continues exponentially without bound, (b) no policy response, (c) no price deflation benefits, and (d) every link in the causal chain fires perfectly in sequence within 2 years. That's fiction, not forecasting."
