Abstract didn’t do a token launch, and the farmers lost their minds. Let’s be honest about who’s screaming the loudest. It’s not the genuine users, who truly cared about the @pudgypenguins brand. Plenty of them lost real money and time and still posted mature takes. It’s the people running 7 wallets to farm points for an airdrop, then playing victim when the free money didn’t show up. It's the farmers who don't even hold a single @pudgypenguins asset or $PENGU. The ones who dumped $PENGU as soon as they received their airdrop back in 2024, and are just hoping for more tokens to dump. You weren’t a user. You were a farmer. You were hoping to get money free airdrop and when you couldn't get your money, you decided to riot. Everything in crypto is a bet. Nothing was ever guaranteed. If you didn’t understand that, that’s on you, not the founders. Startups aim high and sometimes fail. That’s how business works, web2 or web3. Launching a token anyway would have been the easy way out. It would have fed the farmers and hurt the business long term. Not doing it was the harder call. It takes a man to make a decision @LucaNetz knew would upset a LOT of people, but he pulled the trigger, knowing it was for the greater good. @andygamblor gave away over $1M in 7 months on Abstract. The Pudgy Penguins team gave out over $1.5 billion in the $PENGU airdrop back in 2024, some to people who never even got involved in the Pudgy Penguins brand. The lesson? Nobody remembers. Extractors only ever want more. Now the same crowd is trying to drag Pudgy down with them. Pudgy ran one of the biggest airdrops this space has seen. People were sitting on $100k+ per penguin at the top. Toys in Walmart and Target. Real shelves, real sales. Not Twitter hype. Blame Luca if you want. But this community is bigger than one decision, and wishing it to zero tells us who you are. Farm it, dump it, call the founder and team scammers, move to the next one. The door’s open. Nobody’s making you stay. Bullish on penguins. 🐧🐧🐧 Appreciate all your thoughts on this @akylles @cyrotrading @andygamblor @Rubiks_Gus @BitBullVault @lokithebird @beausecurity @BrightAvian @BL3_ED @PenguBundy @Pudgy_XD @Bokah787

I'm going to say something about the "Abstract situation" that will probably get me in trouble but I have a perspective that most people don't - i'm a founder $PENGU airdrop was huge, the biggest in existence, I know people who made A FORTUNE from that.. Look at it from Luca's point of view and/or the view of any investors/shareholders behind him... You give the average user in this space something and they expect more, for free, for doing nothing and it doesn't matter what you give them, all they care about is more, not all users are like this, some are genuine holders and users of products but I think its sage to say the overwhelming majority are scarily parasitic and will quite literally destroy a project - bold claim? No, I've watched it happen at Gamblor multiple times Nobody cares if its sustainable, nobody cares if you go out of business, nobody cares about anything other than how much can I extract from this project before it goes bust and I move onto another one and suck the life out of that one then rinse and repeat I have nearly left web3 multiple times because of this, I have only stayed because Gamblor and me have some amazing holders and amazing community members who show up and support every day, those people have kept me in this space and have kept me and the team building But the reality is this - people will farm your project then crash it into the ground without a second thought then do it again with another one and again and again If you're a blood sucking parasite maybe think that you could be the problem and maybe think that you damage it for the rest of the great people here From a business point of view, Abstract was great for us, last year we gave out over $1,000,000 in bonus codes, cashback and literal cash to our users from the revenue generated from Abstract $1M given out in 7 months on Abstract but the thing I realised very very quickly (and shareholders did too) is that nobody cares and they forget very quickly, it doesn't matter how much you give out because the only thing anyone wants is more We were one of the first projects to "leave" Abstract although we still used the chain daily and we left because the team in charge at the time couldn't run a business to save their lives but Abstract never scammed us, never scammed me, never extracted anything from me, business acumen aside Abstract was great, could it have been better, yes definitely but it wasn't bad and the people running it aren't scammers, they're just not business people and none of them had any experience running a blockchain, they got giddy with their new fame and power and fucked up but thats not a crime, thats inexperience, its not being a scammer, its being a human.... I witnessed Abstract through the eyes of a founder and other than the issues above I see no problems with it being wound down, it was a business that didn't work but people crying out for sending Pudgy Penguins to ZERO are moronic, with the greatest of respect you are the problem. I hold Pudgy's and Lil Pudgy's, we sponsored a Pudgy event in Dubai last year, Pudgy main account follows me on X, I check the floor price daily but I don't FUD, I HODL, I am not interested in the FP, i'm interested in the brand and I (unlike many) am loyal to Pudgy so block me, unfollow me, FUD me for supporting "scammers" but look in the mirror and tell me the last time you gave out millions to a community or in the case of the airdrop A BILLION...... Just my 2 cents, spend them as you wish

Growth of NFTs isn’t coming from who is on X tonight .. it’s creating new collectors from the outside of this echo-chamber - promise The silent majority will have the biggest impact on demand ❤️❤️❤️ Words on here aren’t gonna change it one way or another - builders who get new people in is ❤️❤️❤️

To my @Memeland OG holders / Community members. Many call us crazy and other offensive names, but we have conviction in our founders and a project we believe in. Ahoy! 🏴‍☠️ Good write-up here! 👀👇🏽

JUST IN: LUCA NETZ SAYS HE WANTS TO TAKE PUDGY PENGUINS PUBLIC HE WANTS TO IPO BUT “TIE IN TOKEN AND NFT HOLDERS” “THERE’S A NEW FORM OF IPO THAT DOESN’T EXIST YET, I KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN MY MIND”

i see NFTs finding a new role as more businesses and financial assets move onchain tokenized stocks, RWAs and stablecoins are creating new infrastructure, and NFTs can become another layer around ownership, access and community the NFT + fungible token hybrid idea has already been tested before without really taking off the concept is worth revisiting though: liquid tokens for broad participation, with NFTs representing a more specialized tier of ownership or benefits that feels like a more interesting direction for NFTs this cycle

🔔Captainz Sweep🔔 Captainz feel so undervalued within the @Memeland ecosystem when i see all the work @MemeStrategy are putting in to set up their new collectibles business channel. As the owner of two MVPs i took a good offer on one of them enabling me to sweep 19 captainz. As the saying goes “buy when there’s blood in the streets!” Or perhaps nowadays that should be “buy when there’s FUD in the streets!” Ahoy 🏴‍☠️

I’d love to see the @Memeland community really pull together and quit the rug talk. Yep price is down and that hurts but a public company is being built before our eyes with @MemeStrategy directly linked to @memeland website as one of their works. @9gagceo may not come to talk shit with us in Discord but you can follow real business progress here: Here’s a potatoz 🥔 Ahoy 🏴‍☠️
