I'm pleased to announce the launch of Citizen X, a crypto-native thesis-driven venture fund dedicated to investing in Web 3.0 and decentralized technologies.
@CitizenXcrypto
has been in the works for more than 6 months and today we go out of stealth mode.

I only disagree because there are ways to drink alcohol mindfully and intentionally and in ways that elevate community and familial experiences.
there are no such ways to enjoy cigarettes
Looks like Three Arrows Capital is the whale behind the 88 and 12 cryptopunk market buys.
They now have 100 cryptopunks after paying
@Mining_DAO
5 ETH to transact each set of transactions all in one block so they wouldn’t get frontrun.
@kyled116
@zhusu
congrats, this is huge.
I'm not stupid enough to ever try to call the "top" for a crypto market but...
Tai Lopez launching an OHM fork has to be in the top 5 biggest top signals I have ever seen
lmfao I cant believe this is real biggest bruh moment ever
"Hey bro I know we didnt let you into our seed round but man we really would love your feedback for free every couple of weeks cause nobody else on our cap table has your expertise in this specific area you mentioned we might need haha does next week work for a quick call?"
Full update on Three Arrows Capital NFT buying spree:
Over the last couple days they've spent thousands of ETH on predominantly
@artblocks_io
pieces and Cryptopunks. The buying has happened from two walletss and the NFTs are being consolidated and kept in a 3rd wallet.
Who is the marginal buyer of an $APE token trading at $10-20B valuation at launch that’s been airdropped for free to thousands of holders and has large VC bags behind it?
@loldefi
Don’t be a jerk! He’s a noob, of COURSE you should give him some advice tell him the best ecosystems for him to go invest in and work in.
1. XRP
2. cardano
3. Tron
4. Music NFT’s
@daphachar
@EFDevcon
It’s kinda weird that for 2 days people were asking you
@daphachar
and co to tell the story of what happened and never answered. Instead seems like you continued to ruin this guy and even got him kicked out of unaffiliated events. Some clarification would be helpful
Right at the height of the WeWork exposure TV series popularity, Adam Neumann raises $70M to build a rip off of
@KlimaDAO
from some of the biggest investors in the space.
This timeline man, it’s just insane lol
Things heard at NFT NYC:
“Yeah man it sucks cause there’s like no girls here, and you know that the few girls that are here are only here cause a guy brought them so they’re already taken”
Mfers down bad lmao
Guess today is as good a day as any to announce we’re having a baby.
They told me bear markets were for building so we got on it asap, and we’re extremely excited.
LFG.
@AndrewDARMACAP
@fintechfrank
3 arrows capital has over $10 billion in AUM. With a B. They’re (I think) the largest crypto native hedge fund in the space. If you’ve never heard of
@zhusu
or
@kyled116
then you clearly do not know this space very well, and I mean no offense when I say that.
I am unbelievably bullish on the entire
@pixelvault_
ecosystem.
@punkscomic
and
@MetaHero_
are going to be massive.
The value creation and strategic vision with the game theory is second to none.
The value adds are so insane it makes holders terrified to sell. Bullish AF.
Considering the current price of SOL,
@SolanaMBS
feels like maybe the best value buy in NFT’s
Floor is 131 SOL (only 12K USD). SMB = clear winner in the Solana eco for PFP projects and has Ana amazing community with
@MonkeDAO
Relative to some ETH NFT’s this feels like a steal.
@CC2Ventures
Bro im ngl rapidly approaching “coper of the year” levels. You should log off and touch grass
We get it. You have a brand around how to Sybil/farm and dump airdrops(totally fine but net extractive) and one of the best actual builders in the space excluded you. Not that deep.
I minted 60+
@CryptoDickbutts
over a year ago.
They became my go-to onboarding gift for people wanting to get into crypto or NFT’s and I gave away over 40 of them during that time including some as wedding presents.
The memes are real and very powerful. Never forget, 1 D = 1B
Giveaway alert:
On the day that the
@KanpaiPandas
mint out I'll give out 3 free panda NFT's to to 3 random people.
All you need to do to qualify is follow
@KanpaiPandas
and
@CitizenXcrypto
and then reply to this tweet
(preferably the reply says "Kanpai!")
Good luck.
Solana definitely has some identity issues with low float high FDV VC-funded projects but don’t miss the forest for the trees.
Some of the best community driven projects and some of the smartest devs and builders in the space are on Solana and don’t fit that characterization.

@ensdomains
Definitely not defending him, but what exactly is intolerant about him saying he believes other religions are false isn't that kind of a central part of Christianity/Catholicism(and other religions)?
Muslims dont think Christianity is true or leads to people to truth lol
What if I told you there was an NFT project minting right now with zero hype made by a reputable dev that was CC0, featured on-chain traits, and is open-source and fully composable?
@OlympusDAO
has one of the most underrated protocol designs in the entire crypto space. Truly innovative structure and incredible community.
@KlimaDAO
is the first of what I predict will be many DAO's/protocols that take inspiration from it.
I like the OHMies and the KLIMAtes
@ljin18
The motivation of working hard to create wealth for my children/family/friends is a far more virtuous motivation than me working hard simply to make money for myself and my enjoyment.
Why shouldn't I be incentivized to create wealth for others I care about?
Meeting crypto people you have known for years for the first time in real life is super fun, super weird, and super rewarding. 10/10 recommend.
Tech has created a new phenomenon never experienced by humanity before.
I’m becoming increasingly convinced that
@SolanaMBS
and
@monkeDAO
have the best chance of being the “CryptoPunks of Solana”
First NFT DAO on Solana, organic community growth, enough original attributes to be different, and really simple but recognizable art style.
Aped into
@SolanaMBS
to join the MonkeDAO, the first NFT DAO on Solana.
@mangomarkets
was the first Solana DAO (I aped into that too), and this seems to be the second.
From what I've seen so far, I think these have the best chance of being the CryptoPunks of Solana.
I’ll also add that punks are likely to be the first NFT to be commonly accepted as collateral for use in DeFi loans and other DeFi applications.
@StaniKulechov
confirmed to

@modern_fi
last week that
@AaveAave
is working on this. Punks = intersection of Defi/NFT’s
First ever hole in one.
Par 3, 120 yards out and uphill slightly, 9 iron. Dead straight the hole way landed a foot in front and rolled in.
Low key in shock lmfao
The 5,000 ETH is a lot of money but its not much for
@kyled116
or
@zhusu
's fund. If one single hedge fund (and
@Vince_Van_Dough
) jumping into the NFT space with several million $ does this, imagine what multiple aping in will do. Makes me extremely bullish on quality NFT's.
If you participated in the
@solana
Ignition Hackathon and are looking for seed funding, shoot me a DM and let’s connect online or in Portugal next week.
I’m very active as an investor and builder in the ecosystem and would love to meet you
Lol @
@mcuban
casually discussing his
@KlimaDAO
investment and how projects will likely want to put $KLIMA and tokenized carbon credits on their balance sheet as a frictionless way to offset emissions.
27 minute mark if you wanna listen:
It is hilarious how much more engagement I get from memes and shitposting than I do from leaking alpha or talking about complex nerdy crypto stuff lmao
Based on my chats with
@beaniemaxi
and
@Gfunkera86
, in my opinion the
@pixelvault_
founders DAO tokens are the most undervalued pieces in the pixel vault set.
Obviously not financial advice, but I’m very heavily weight founders DAO tokens as a % of my pixel vault holdings
Im betting that 3AC goes after
@artblocks_io
pieces next. Generative art is historic and they’re the OG’s. There’s good distribution as well, tho not as liquid, but a lot of different collections to choose from and a big shared community with the punks.
Retweeting for clout, was I the first person to predict publicly that
@SolanaMBS
would be the 'CryptoPunks of solana'?
It's still early, but SMB has a massive lead in the Solana NFT space in both mindshare and price with a market cap of $250M
Degen Apes in 2nd with a $115M mcap
Aped into
@SolanaMBS
to join the MonkeDAO, the first NFT DAO on Solana.
@mangomarkets
was the first Solana DAO (I aped into that too), and this seems to be the second.
From what I've seen so far, I think these have the best chance of being the CryptoPunks of Solana.
Since 3AC ramped up its buying, floor prices of these projects have skyrocketed:
Punk floor from 22 ETH to 34 ETH
Autoglyph floor went from 120 ETH to 385 ETH
Fidenza Floor went from 19 ETH to 37 ETH
Ringer floor from 17 to 35 ETH
Eternal Pump floor from 65 ETH to 250 ETH
I’ve called large funds getting NFT exposure by owning NFT’s directly and punks are the best bet.
1. They’re the OG and there’s 10K of them, so they can own a lot without wrecking distribution.
2. They’re easily the most liquid since they have a floor market price on
@NFTX_
Bahamas fit hard AF today.
Yes I am identically matching my wife’s bikini.
You might not like it, and you might be a little jealous, but this is what peak performance looks like.
@j1mmyeth
What a terrible take
“This thing is GONNA be the NORM guys you shouldn’t criticize it at ALL”
Key theses behind web 3 are:
1. community ownership and control
2. Free markets dictating product market fit
Of COURSE people have a say over how the space unfolds lmao
Thanks to
@banterlytics
,
@KeyboardMonkey3
, and some other anons in the punks discord for helping me sort through this. We'll continue watching these wallets and give updates as things happen.

At a cool
@Pixar
exhibit and they have an example of how much rendering power is needed to render a single animated image.
Demand for rendering will only increase, one of the reasons I’m an investor in and bullish on
@RenderToken
.
It's not just 3AC though that did this. Arguably the person that made 3AC and others FOMO into these pieces is the legend VVD,
@Vince_Van_Dough
.
He was market buying Artblocks before it was cool and contributed meaningfully to the floors moving up on these projects.
I remain extremely bullish on
@Loopifyyy
and
@TheTreeverse
.
Think it's gonna be a big year for them and I think that Timeless NFTs and Treeverse plots are undervalued.
In the next 10 years, sociologists and psychologist will spend millions analyzing and studying why bored ape owners uniquely have such high rates of being hacked and having NFT’s stolen.
In a bull market every project has a “great community” because everyone is making money.
The real test of communities is how they fare when prices aren’t exclusively going up parabolically.
About 1hr ago they withdrew 2600 ETH from the biggest wallet and have begun consolidating their NFT's into one wallet single wallet, 0x2e6. You can see the transfer history on opensea here:
Got back Friday from Dubai, was exhausted. Daughter was sick while I was gone.
Birthday was today and my amazing wife planned a spa day and then a surprise birthday with 50 friends and family
Life is short. Your people and the moments with them are what matter. So blessed.
Been a very tough 48 hours. Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville has been mine and my families home since before I was born.
Seeing a psychopath freak systematically shoot up my home feels like such a violation. My heart is absolutely shattered and broken seeing the lives

@KanpaiPandas
I fear you are simply NGMI.
We’ve been day 1 supporters(helped mint out polygon chain), and haven’t sold a single panda.
Rightful spot is top 3 NFT project, up only from here.
Lmfao just heard from a friend that if you bought an ENS on OpenSea, the controller doesn't change automatically with sale.
So, whoever sends funds to that ENS, will lose it to the controllers address (who you bought the domain from) and not the owner. Don’t buy from opensea
Maybe too small of a sample size but seems like everyone at NFT NYC is distancing themselves from BAYC as much as they can, calling them cringe, etc.
Very interesting dynamic’s to see irl
ngl its pretty screwed up how investors and VC's in crypto are disincentivized to call out other investors and VC's that are bad actors
I try my best to call out BS when I see it, but in a lot of cases I know that the risk isnt worth doing it and that bothers me tbh.
Ngl this game is already pretty sick lol.
I’ve been a big proponent that most crypto native games will flop, but the

Feels like I minted a whole new Pandas release, but 100% true to the original brand and ethos.
