@ToadSomm @spacanpanman and the other block 1 birds observed doing the same?

@dfinzer she’s never used the term “product mommy” -> release the tapes.
Genuinely hilarious thing to put to paper and I am now more sure than ever that’s what you say before you cum.
English
what a delightful, well-timed photoshoot
in all seriousness:
- i’ve lost count of how many times i’ve heard “opensea is done.” we’re still here.
- if you start a business you can and should make money from it. but if you actually know our team, you know that our focus has always, from the start, been building products that people love. that will continue to be the case
- my wife got into bitcoin in 2011 (years before nfts were a thing), has always paid for everything herself and started multiple non-profits while advising me. she’s never used the term “product mommy”, but she’s the most brilliant person i know and has built me into the person i am today. marry someone who builds with you, learns alongside you, and who is deeply dedicated to your growth no matter the ups and downs
- our industry is still small and misunderstood. for crypto to scale it's eventually going to feel invisible and permeate all of culture. that's a big part of opensea's vision. we saw an opportunity (not without risk) to share it with VF but what that article became wildly misrepresented our industry and our own story. that's a bummer, but we'll have more shots at this
- it's not the critic who counts. to create anything of significance in the world takes time, pain, mistakes, courage, the willingness to be both deeply misunderstood and disliked, and glass-chewing. luckily the glass-chewing make you stronger.

Crypto’s True Believers Demand to Be Taken Seriously
English
@CamiRusso I think VF has them being the butt of a joke they don't realize while making an excellent Arrested Development reference in the process
English
This VF photo and article ("Crypto’s True Believers Demand to Be Taken Seriously") feel so off to me and I was trying to figure out why.
I think it's because it feels like something that was written in the 2018 era of crypto -- where belief was almost everything the industry had going for it. blockchains and tokens were live but mostly just to gamble with.
so a photoshoot that portrays crypto people as this excentric rag tag group who somehow still hang on to their weird ideals even as prices crash made sense back then.
But not today.

A photo of every person who tips their DoorDash driver under 3% and are currently in an awful speakeasy in Greenpoint where an aperol spritz is $31. Great profile @dfinzer you seem really cool man. $SEA

@zerobeta My algorithm is suddenly just tiktok and the videos of people doing the fake games where they pop balloons and guess the drink behind the box. Great site.

an update on $SEA.
the team has been building at full speed, and the foundation had planned to kick off the first steps as part of our march 30th event. but @openseafdn is pushing back the timeline.
a delay is a delay. i’m not going to dress it up, and i know how it lands.
the reality is that market conditions are challenging across crypto right now, and $SEA only launches once. @openseafdn could force the original date, or we could ensure every piece is in place and make this moment what this community deserves.
we gave a tremendous amount of thought to how to do right here. I’m thankful to @HollanderAdam for bringing the community’s voice into every conversation. we’ll be doing the following:
no more waves: the current rewards wave will be our last.
optional fee refund: recognizing that we originally committed to a Q1 date, we’re offering refunds of the platform fees we retained while participating in the rewards waves (3 - 6) that followed our timing announcement. if you like, you can receive a refund of those fees, which when combined with treasure chest prizes, essentially means all of your trading during that period was on us. if you opt for a refund, the Treasures you were awarded during these waves will be removed from your account. details on this process will follow.
honoring existing Treasures: for Treasures you continue to hold, our prior commitment stands: they will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation at TGE. this is independent from allocations for historical activity.
0% fees for 60 days: starting on march 31st, opensea will reduce our own token trading fees to 0%. we want to make it a no-brainer for everyone to experience our new platform: cross-chain token trading, mobile app, perps and more. after this 60 day period, we will put a new system in place that makes fees significantly more competitive for anyone trading consistently on opensea.
product updates: while we’re postponing our march 30th event, we’ll host a separate one in the coming months focused on product updates. it’s been incredible to see the early responses to our mobile app, and we can’t wait to get it into more people’s hands.
so if not now, wen?
when we announced last year, it was too early. that created unnecessary uncertainty and reactivity. so when the Foundation sets a new timeline, it will be deliberate and specific.
here’s why i’m confident that’s the right move:
i’ve been building opensea for almost a decade. when this started, we were two people and the only thing you could trade on OS was cryptokitties. i’ve watched this space go from a niche curiosity to billions in volume to where we are today.
the thing that’s carried us through every cycle was a willingness to make hard calls when it mattered. when our market crashed, we rebuilt from zero: an entirely new stack, a new product, and a new team culture. that hurt in the short term. but today OS2 is undeniably the strongest marketplace offering, and it’s the foundation everything sits on.
we have huge ambitions as a company, and we’re here for the long game. making all of non-custodial crypto delightful on mobile is just the beginning. that means we have to set a very high bar for everything we do, and it’s why i’m so protective of delivering a launch that’s worthy of this community and everything we’re putting into this.

@greenbanana071 Get a BlueBird tracking app and drive out to a dead zone and report back. Thanks!

@phantom_scribbs @gondixyz The 4 people who still buy and hold NFTs which can be loaned against will remember this.

Very impressed how @gondixyz have handled the past 24 hours
GONDI@gondixyz
📢 UPDATE: Recovery Progress for Gondi Exploit Since containing the exploit, our focus has shifted entirely to making affected users whole. Here is where things stand. 🤝 Items sold to third parties Several NFTs were purchased by innocent buyers who had no knowledge of the exploit. We reached out to each of them directly and asked for their help in returning the items to their rightful owners. The response from the collector community has been humbling. Collectors stepped up without hesitation. Thanks to them, we have already recovered and returned: • Aluminum Gazer • Servant of the Muse • Doodle • Lil Pudgy We are in active conversations on additional items and expect more to follow, including Taxmen. We are grateful to everyone who has cooperated. 🔍 Items still in the exploiter's wallet For NFTs remaining in the exploiter's wallet, we are pursuing two paths depending on the nature of the item: • 1/1-of-X collections: We have already bought comparable items from the same collections and transferred them to affected owners, and will continue to do so for any remaining cases. While not the exact same piece, we believe this is a fair and meaningful resolution and are coordinating directly with each owner. • 1/1s: We are working hard on recovering these items and are in active discussions with the relevant parties. We are committed to finding a good resolution for every affected collector. 💙 A note on the situation Every item recovered so far has been bought back using Gondi's own protocol fees. We made that decision immediately and without hesitation, because it was the right thing to do. It is also worth reiterating: NFTs in active loans were not affected by this exploit, and were never at risk at any point. 🔒 Security confirmation The Gondi protocol has been reviewed and confirmed safe by two independent parties: the team at Blockaid and an independent auditor. Sell & Repay feature remains disabled while we develop and deploy a fix. All other platform functionality is fully operational. The NFT space runs on trust. We take that seriously and will continue to post updates until every affected user has been fully resolved. Gondi is safe to use. Onwards.

@hamids @spacanpanman @ASTS_Investors @dustinalper Your case was “why not put them on a mountain?!?” And then Anpan said uh view distance and valleys and the way signal propagates and you said “uh why? Launch is expensive it could go up on a high thing!” And everyone kind of just like stood around and was like wait wtf?
English
No. What I said is that 5G tech has a short-range (such as 5-10 miles) and there are no examples of long-range 5G antennas that cover long range installed on top of mountains, for example, to cover an entire metropolitan area. I gave the example of Phoenix being surrounded by mountains and if long-range antennas existed today, AT&T and/or Verizon could simply install 1 such antenna on a mountain to cover all of Phoenix.
My example was to illustrate that even outside of using satellites, the distance coverage, is something that is untested and a major challenge.
In ASTS's case, a single satellite is expected to cover distances of 500+ miles of range covering an area of ~100,000 square miles (yes, 100,000 square miles), compared to a typical 5g antenna of less than 100 square miles!
The area coverage of ASTS satellites is roughly 3 orders of magnitude (1,000x) greater than your typical 5G tower.
This is on top of challenges with power, satellite navigation & handoff (at 17,000 miles-per-hour) and other challenges that would need to be solved.
It's like some company out of nowhere, having never done anything before, pulling off 20 miracles all at the same time!

Is $ASTS too good to be true?
I know NOTHING, but I sure think ASTS is too good to be true! Here is my full rant about $ASTS with @dustinalper from the Buy Hold Rant podcast. We also touch briefly on $RKLB, which should never be compared to ASTS, but for some reason they always come up.
If ASTS pulls off their goals, I will 100% owe them an apology.

@hamids @ASTS_Investors @dustinalper Yes, we all made up lore and fabricated the dumb thing you said on a space you were wholly unprepared for. x.com/toadsomm/statu…

English
Put satellites on mountains!? 🤣 Alright kid, slow down.
Trying to pin this made-up line as something that I've said just shows all the $ASTS accounts that are connected to one-another. Since all these ASTS X accounts are also anonymous, you're doubly proving my point.
Normal stocks don't have a ton of anonymous accounts all saying the same made-up lie.

@spacanpanman what hasn't changed since then? @TMFAssociates website design.

@gmoneyNFT I’m confused. He inherited a colossally bad budget, and is being fully transparent, laying out financials.
