Pixelmon raised $70m for a game that isnt anywhere close to being finished, encouraged people to buy the peak of their DA, and did it all by growing their socials/discord to enormous sizes to give off an illusion of desire The NFT space is doomed if it cannot recognize red flags

The TubbyCats contract needed a single line of code to prevent someone from minting 950 NFTs during their public sale: require(msg.sender == tx.origin) Get other devs to audit your code prelaunch and hire devs that know what the common exploits are. This is becoming ridiculous

Opensea shouldn’t be flagging NFTs for “suspicious activity”. It devalues the NFT bc a previous owner wasn’t able to keep a wallet safe, but the punishment is pushed on to the new buyers as the thief sells the NFT well before opensea flags it. Speed up the process or don’t do it
