You are absolutely pathetic, and you're muted

@farokh

You know, you both have a bit of beanie energy with content like this. Engagement farming, even if it's toxic. Talking up your own project off the back of others.
When are you going to be the positivity in your bio, Farokh? The MekaVerse = real artists and community.
1/ We've watched $AMP as it quietly climbed towards the top 50 on anomalously low volume - daily 2-3m. Here it is, an hour after

listing news, still among the lowest volume in the top 100 over the last 24 hours:
@DaveKeating
This is actually somewhat the context I was expecting. It feels similar to how the polish jets announcement was deployed.
These eastern countries have better working memories, better knowledge of Russia, and are at more immediate threat. Flank countries are doing what they can.

🧵 1/ So you think that
@yugalabs
failed to "optimize the gas" last night, allowing everyone to mint far more cheaply?
Let's challenge that belief. Who's the expert around here?
@zengjiajun_eth
Don't think optimizing the contract would help. Regardless of contract details, tx fee goes up until list price + tx fee = market price. If gas usage per purchase decreased 2x, the equilibrium gas price would have just been >12000 gwei instead of 6000.

BTC costs too much to use, plain and simple. The only reason the revolution of decentralized money has stalled is because we get stuck on old tech.

You could look for the next meme, trade without size and conviction, maybe keep it running for a few more trades. Maybe.
Or you could do real research, value fundamentals, and stress test your own theses. $AMP
@farokh
@DeezeFi
It shouldn't be other peoples responsibility to remind you to treat them with some respect, like humans, even like artists, in a space that's about what again?
Supporting artists? Winning together?
It gets so old dealing with this kind of dehumanizing oversight from influencers
I like the idea of having an audience so that there are people for me to talk to and share things with, and who might interact with me and add value to my life as well.
The influencer's agenda does not value these things. Help me if I ever reduce myself to a popularity contest.
1/ Seems not a week goes by that I don't find myself appreciating the character of the
@Gemini
exchange, lately.
The first exchange in the U.S. to list Zcash, and Ether.
Losing my mind watching everything with $AMP tonigh: Global supply shock, huge pricing disparity and arbitrage from exchange to exchange. CMC and CoinGecko can't get on the same page. The
@coinbase
dump is rly trying to eat itself.
Just ridiculous. And it's not running on memes.

$AMP has 20x'd from ATLs while distributing from 20 to 42b supply over the last few years. 🌴
Circulating supply will only reach 51b by 2025, and 60b by 2030. 🌴

You have a responsibility to be better than this bullshit, and the sooner you understand that, and realize the people you treat like shit, are actually there, a part of this space, and not going anywhere - the better.
Unless you think trashing artists/communties is good?
Okay, fine. I'll tweet about $AMP again. It's Q3 2021 and I guess we'll see if people are ready to talk about
@FlexaHQ
and cross border payments yet.🧑🚀
"Merchants using the Bancolombia Group’s Wompi gateway can accept bitcoin through Flexa as well. Those payments are largely online, for now, Flexa CEO Tyler Spalding told The Block. However, the company is also planning to announce compatibility with other payment gateways" 🤝
NGL $AMP is still looking very saucy right now, just humongous shows of relative strength from start to present
Sure, *I* know it just pumped 200% in 12 hours
But I don't think *it* cares
Amp may very well still be in honey badger mode still, so I'm keeping my eye on it in 5m:
Amp is literally running out of your other favorite projects to flippen and is still going.
Yet you still think I'm a goober who tweets about $AMP too much.
You're.. ngmi?! 😵💫
It all started with an anonymous tip (thank you)
I was told that Trump's NFT project used the same artist as another project that I should check out.
That project, as it turns out, was Sylvester Stallone's own NFT collection.
What does
@elonmusk

These aren't mutually exclusive things.
What does need to happen is for people to stop reacting with a violent urge to suppress someone's thoughtful takes on what would be best, because that's a step in the wrong direction, and toward what end?
"Gotcha" energy is toxic.

Everyone else is years behind the required seriousness.

@Mekaverse
?
Just left a Twitter space hosted by the magician
@MelisaMimosa420
and I have 100 new followers and 20 DMs.
So much more actual engagement and interest and networking than when I simply tweet. Like this tweet, just, ugh.
Bullish on conversation, bearish on feeds.
The $LINK marines will continue to realize that $AMP is the only other comparable middleware in terms of potential for scalability across all chains, or more universally, all systems. Payments is a fraction.
When can I break it down for you,
@Crypto___Oracle
&
@ChainLinkGod
?
Using

Price Feeds,
@FlexaHQ
allows any merchant to accept instant, guaranteed payments in dozens of digital currencies with a simple, streamlined experience designed to make cryptocurrency payments the status quo.
1/ Today, we are incredibly excited to formally introduce the Ampera Foundation, a fully independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the development and growth of the Amp ecosystem, seeded by an initial donation of AMP from Flexa.
Instead, I'm busy cooking up something for the $AMP community this morning
Building community in a bear is the devil's labor, but the wind is again at our backs, easing the minds of the many, as our collective ventral brake relaxes 😉
I can probably work with that 🧑🍳
Stepping inside you find a whole project, complete with roadmap, incentives, a robust FAQ.
One of my favorite details, though, is the "Gala dinner hosted by Sly himself"
And I wonder what
@VitalikButerin
thinks about Ethereum being punched in the face
The world, just as much as crypto or NFT spaces individually, has an obsession with simping (idolizing) strong men. It's about living vicariously through them, feeling like you're a part of their orbit, their team, their success.
These guys prey on that desire.
NGL $AMP is still looking very saucy right now, just humongous shows of relative strength from start to present
Sure, *I* know it just pumped 200% in 12 hours
But I don't think *it* cares
Amp may very well still be in honey badger mode still, so I'm keeping my eye on it in 5m:
"We'll be replacing the stolen $ETH and $AMP so that there’s no liquidity issues for users. We'll commit to allocating 20% of all protocol fees toward repayment until this debt is fully paid. Meanwhile, we'll post a CREAM collateral w/ the Flexa/Amp team to secure this debt." 👏
The
@CreamdotFinance
team has published their complete analysis of the security incident on August 30, 2021, in which 462,079,976 $AMP and 2,804.96 $ETH were stolen from the C.R.E.A.M. protocol:
It's true, the weather inside the
@MekaVerse
is clearing. The sentimental bottom is in. Flushing non-supporters is a critical post-reveal task for all projects, and we extend our sympathy and encouragement to other communities who daily deal with retail floor panic. We see you 💜
Today marks the day we stopped fud, today marks the day that Meka drivers came together.
The MekaVerse project is a project based on fantastic original artwork, legitimate practice, and hard work. I would really appreciate if you read the following thread 1/8
Ultimately, we have a lot to cover and this thread isn't about Sylvester Stallone's dystopian narcissistic grifter fantasies. Here's one last look at what he had in mind:
@farokh
@DeezeFi
You can avoid commenting on these behaviors, as one can rely on someone like beanie to do. Or you can engage back, genuinely, and honestly just make some healthy adaptations. Like, so many people love you Farokh, and I'm always thinking, how weird it would be as a Meka fan
So, what ever happened to Sylvester's project?
Well, it never launched. Check out their twitter page at
@PlanetSlyNFT
and you can see they were very successful in farming engagement and preparing for what would have almost certainly been an easy pay day.
So many subtweets going around trying to shame others for celebrating financial success.
False humility. Overbearing oppressive modesty. Ironic egoism. Salty hypocrisy.
If you don't celebrate peoples success along with them, that's not being a friend.
That's covetous hate.
Where our story next takes us is to the next layer of Sylvester Stallone's involvement in his NFTs, and how that connects to Donald Trump's NFTs.
