No no, grandmom, that’s the Polygon on MATIC. You want to use the Polygon on ETH. What’s that? Ohh no no, it *used* to be called MATIC but actually that’s Polygon. See the little Polygon logo next to the big polygon logo?. Yeah, just a few dollars. It’s not going through? Oh I

100% true story that just happened to me. Sold a TV on Facebook marketplace place today. Wearing a Solana shirt when I met the guy. He recognized the logo. We chatted about crypto. He bought SOL at $14!. Then we tried to close the deal with Zelle. He didn’t have the app for

Everyone talking about ETH people discovering SOL NFTs on @opensea. I’m more interested in SOL people discovering what a MESS @opensea is. We’re spoiled with @MagicEden. You’ll see.

She said yes! . This woman has supported me through every step of my web3 journey—hearing me talk about monkes, encouraging me to pivot to a career in crypto, even coming to a @Claynosaurz event and letting me keep the booster pack. Diamond-handing her for life.

Solana NFTs are at an inflection point. Two weeks ago, every garbage project sold out. This week, solid projects are slashing supplies. What’s happening? Is minting dead? Did we all get pickier overnight?.

You don’t need another reason to own a @solanamobile Saga phone but here’s probably the most fun way to earn with it. Since it’s Android, I could set up my mobile controller to play @play_evio and earn $e tokens on the go. (I still suck at it tho 🤣)

An Interim Solution to 0% Royalties (my first 🧵). 0% royalties are a classic collective action problem: lots of people and businesses acting RATIONALLY in their own self-interest to the detriment of the ecosystem as a whole. 1/22.

You kids are so spoiled with your @phantom mobile wallets and @MagicEden notifications, and $14 SOL. Back in my day, you found out your NFT sold when you logged in to your desktop browser extension and discovered enough money to buy a Honda Civic.

New Gen3 owners are already asking, “What IP rights do I get with my new @SolanaMBS?”. With the new collection, we wanted to try something brand new when it comes to holders’ IP rights…. so we put the license directly in the metadata. You can even view it on @tensor_hq 👇🏼🧵

To an outside observer, 75,000 degens just bought an NFT for 20 SOL and then flipped it for 19.9 SOL, which is kinda the most “Solana” thing ever.

I warned you. The signs were there. MINTING SEASON IS BACK!. WL spots given to @MonkeDAO for last week's projects were potentially worth an ASTOUNDING 10,977 SOL—the LARGEST potential minting profit in MonkeDAO recorded history. And my Top 10 haven't even minted yet.

YOU did this. YOU stuck it out. The rest of the world didn’t believe you and YOU showed them. Friends, lovers, family members, government officials—even fellow crypto people—told you it was over, it would never happen. They told you to spend your talents elsewhere. But YOU.

Let me remind you summer children what the NFT bull was like. It’s war. You’ll get rugged 3-4 times a week. You’ll do obscene things to score a whitelist. You’ll leave your desk for an hour and miss generational mints. The best advice I have for you: find your tribe. You.

If you want a strong community led by a competent central gigabrain figure, buy @DeGodsNFT @CetsOnCreck @TaiyoRobotics . If you want a strong community led by a decentralized board of diversified strengths and experience, buy an SMB & join @MonkeDAO . It really is that simple.

DOES it make sense to form an identity around a bunch of pixel monkeys?. No less than forming an identity around the random place I was born or the church my parents took me. At least I chose my monke. NFT communities are the religions, the nations, the home teams of tomorrow.

Considered buying another blue chip like a Thug or Degen, but those communities are already well-established. It's way more rewarding to join a brand new community and see it blow up like I did with @monkeDAO. There is no new project I am more excited about than @LotusGangNFT.

The @rakkudos from @shakudo_io is THE FIRST NFT collection that @MonkeDAO, as an organization, will purchase at mint for its own treasury. It's an unprecedented seal of approval from Solana's oldest NFT-based DAO. Everything else aside, that's a BFD.

Somehow with SOL as low as I’ve known it, this is the happiest I’ve ever been in NFTs. The grind has slowed; I’m no longer stressed out about profits. My wallet is filled with things I love to own just for what they are. I have great friends in so many places. #WAGMI.

We sent a proposal to the DAO this morning to approve creation of The Official @MonkeDAO Collection—a true DAO-owned project. Today’s proposal is only about the the art + team. IMO, @twxcrypto struck gold. My advice to skeptics: sit with it a bit before you make up your mind.

Hard being an alpha hunter these days. Post a hundred spots, maybe 20 people go for them. I miss the days when WL opps felt like leading a charging army into battle. But gotta keep grinding. One of these projects—bet you won't even know which—gonna jumpstart the bullrun.

In @MonkeDAO, ANY leader can decide they want to step down, focus on real life, rest a bit, let someone else drive. That is why MonkeDAO—emphasis on "DAO"—will stand the test of time. How many other Solana projects can say the same?.
