I keep hearing ppl I respect asking if #NFT PFP projects are possibly dead.

I keep hearing ppl I respect draw arbitrary circles around projects that present on stage well and capture attention, but bring nothing else but hype and flips.

1/ 🧵
I keep read 🧵 on what a founder should concentrate on.

Floor Price.
Arrow Up.
Attention.
Making hodlers feel good about holding.

What the fvck is the purpose of building a #web3 tech company if all we are doing is flipping #NFT for meager gains, and bragging on our x.

2/ 🧵
Months ago I sat in a Zoom in a private doxxed #web3community I am in.

I met for the first time @rimbikd. He was quiet and his internet was struggling.

A few weeks later he asked for a group meeting to present what he wanted to build in #web3.

3/ 🧵
At the time I did not know he was the artist on @ThePlagueNFT.

I had been reading threads from the founder @Pons_ETH. I like people who think.

I like ppl who challenge.

I like ppl who recognize talent and potential.

4/ 🧵
I began watching the frogs after @rimbikd spoke about what he wanted to build for himself in #web3.

With regular threads from @Pons_ETH showing a mind at work, it was just natural for me to buy a few frogs.

The Discord conversations I've read have not disappointed.

5/ 🧵
The entry to to @NerdCollective_ was thru a person I respect in another community.

He never mentioned the project to me.

But I have worked w/ him on large-ish issues as we build a socially impactful #web3community.

He is a balanced, measured, and thoughtful thinker.

6/ 🧵
I looked into @NerdCollective_

I saw the founder @DataNFT_ was someone who I regularly read tweets from in one of my curated Twitter lists.

I always enjoyed his writings.

I dug in and saw what they were building towards.

A company. Not a project.

7/ 🧵
A problem serious builders are facing in the #web3 bear market is this...

Real builds are about stability.

Stability is long term.

Long term alludes to less quick flipping, more membership and value.

Value does not give you a fast $40 profit, for flipping.

8/ 🧵
The current #NFT Community is going to need to decide really soon.

Why are you actually here?

I am here to build w/ the tech.

Making a quick $40 in ETH is not going to help me build, nor help that other founder build.

#web3 is moving into a build phase.

9/ 🧵
If you say you want to advance the tech w/ #NFT and be the early ones to #web3.

Then ask yourself why am I taking flyers on utter crap.

Start supporting those who want to make this place an industry.

If attention is currency. Spend your attention better.

10/ 🧵
Finally.

PFP projects may be dead to you, if you minted your lifetime #NFT.

If we are early, than most ppl don't even know what a PFP is.

Unless every person onboarding needs to own something from 2021-22.

11/ 🧵
If that is the case. You didn't kill #NFT PFPs, you killed #web3 innovation.

You killed the ability for this place to have a different start up culture than that other place.

You built a wall, and created barriers because you got yours and are now bored.

Congrats!

Please learn something today.

#web3 is not about Twitter Spaces.

It is just where we talk about #NFT.

Feel what you feel about the❓and Alex @Shillin_Villain @NoPromisesEver

But that "account" is a lesson in DiD.

If you don't know what that is? Learn now.

1/ 🧵 ImageImage
Everyone is gonna feel some way about today and yesterday's events.

But here is a million $$ in free knowledge for the price of your time.

The lesson is that months of grinding was taken down and erased.

If Alex had a modern #web3 platform, he'd have his work w/ him.

2/ 🧵
How is this accomplished??

Decentralized Identities = DiD

Why is anyone able to kill that much work over spite or vengance or revenge??

Why is the work gone, like it never happened??

We did not arrive in #web3 to sell each other jpegs wrapped in #NFT and Discords.
