From 2017 to October 14th 2020, nobody knew about #VeVe. But there were 2 founders who quietly paved the way for the future of digital collectibles, without a "community", without "moonbois", "fudders", without much money, without much of anything. Were they backed by the Silicon Valley & Wall St giants like Sequoia, Goldman, SoftBank, Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz? No. Were they building in an existing/boring industry where things were beautifully laid out, and if you burn enough money, you win? No. Did they have thousands of fan/and non-fans cheering, insulting, suggesting, supporting, motivating? No. Did they come from prestigious backgrounds of "founders with million/billion dollars exits"? No. But did they do it anyways? Yes. If the fans weren't there to support them, who were? ⚡️ Alfred Kahn (turned Pocket Monster to Pokemon) 🦸🏻♂️ DC Comics (est. 1934) 🐭 Disney (est. 1923) 🌎 Universal Studio (est. 1912) Do these partners sound like they would do their DD before handing out the assets they spent a century building to these 2 unknown Kiwi founders? I'm pretty sure they did. So 2 Kiwis, unknown, "sound like a rug", "liars", "cheaters", would be able to proudly say "we onboarded Disney, DC, Universal, USPS to the digital collectible space", and have a 7-year running business where people talk about them daily, have a booth next to Marvel, share a panel with Sony, and get tweeted by Disney. Wait what? That doesn't sound right. It really doesn't. Or does it? I don't know, but I'm sure we all have our own answers. It doesn't matter. They will keep building. Sure they excitedly overpromised, and sadly underdelivered, but they will keep building. Is VeVe the only company that misses deadlines? I think we can answer that, but they will keep building. Is VeVe the only company that faces challenges that upset their customers? Yes, but they will fix it, and keep building. Things happened, we all make mistakes, but imagine your best friends and relatives call you out 24/7 on social media while you are trying to build something for them that might change the world? Please, just take 5 seconds, and do that. Sure, constructive criticism is fine, but "rug", "devalue collectibles", "scammers", really? Put yourselves in their shoes, stop reading, close your eyes, take that 5 seconds. But after all, if they can overcame all the challenges in the past 7 years to bring Spiderman (1962), Superman (1938), and Mickey Mouse (1928) to the blockchain, and be the pioneer in the space, do you think they will care if you call them using those angry words? Nah, I bet if the cost of changing the world for the better, the cost of bringing IPs that have billions of fans and centuries of combined history to the digital space is a few angry words, then bring them on all day. They will keep building. If the cost of pioneering a whole new industry and bringing millions of products to tens of thousand of people globally, to have hundreds show up to support them at offline events, to have many more proudly show off the AR photos they take with their Superman, Vader and children, because that's a beautiful way to share the same passion with their kids, of people sharing their excitement because they finally could afford an Amazing Fantasy 15 that they otherwise wouldn't be afford in real life, if that cost is a few angry tweets. Totally worth it. They will keep building. It doesn't matter. They will keep building, because it's worth it, because the future is bright. The rest is...your call. Cheers.

If there's one thing that speeds up the adoption of VeVeVerse, it's AI. Building spaces takes lots of time, creativity, and skills. I don't think a non-creative person like myself can invest the time to do it, but AI will make it so much faster and easier. How do I know? The same thing is happening with No-Code Apps; instead of spending years learning how to code, regular folks (like myself) can now use AI to build a simple app. I'm learning Replit (an AI no-code-app-builder), and got a working (simple) weather app done in just a few hours by typing prompts. Game changer. If Veve implements AI to help users build spaces in VeVeVerse, we non-artist users won't have to struggle with what to build, which lighting/colors to choose, dimension, etc. All we have to do is type "build me a space that has the Dark Knight theme..." VeVe NFTs will benefit, too. Character AI has over 28 million monthly active users. I just tried it a few weeks ago (you should, too), and it's surprisingly good. Imagine you (or your kids) having conversations with Spiderman/Else/Batman... Will talk more in the next episode of VeVe Vantage with @Veve_MisterV. #VeVe

@WesVeve The market cap right now hovers around 110mil; I think you were referring to tokens in cir. But the reason for my tweet is that I'm just a regular person; $8K would be a large amount for me, so if I see someone adding that many tokens, I think it's cool; therefore, I shared.

Very small amount and very small number of users. But keep in mind only a few %s of transactions (in OMI) get burned + Stackr is still in beta so not all IPs and NFTs are available on their market, hence few transactions. I think it will open up soon though based on their latest update.
