Azuki news that Zagabond and co. built Phunks, Zunks, and Tendies prior to Azuki is interesting
It reinforces my feelings that a team does not create a blue chip, the market does. The only thing a team or person can do is provide enough puzzle pieces for the markets decision👇🧵
The question that everyones asking now is:
Did Azuki's team rug their other projects?
That's a question that is up to the market to decide. What i can say is that during the time of Zunks and Phunks everyone considered them to have been rugged. idk what the sentiment is now

AkuDreams did a 3.5e Dutch Auction today that refunded anyone who purchased above the final resting price...but their contract was poorly written and had is susceptible to a griefing exploit that would cause the minting funds in the contract to be locked
Hasan tried to tell them
The team dismissed hasan ( @notchefbob ) and called it fud, then said that malicious developers were calling their "FEATURE" an exploit...the team didn't understand their own code. This exploit needed to be set up during the mint and here is the POC:
Analytical tools and quick trading has destroyed more NFT projects than its helped and most of these people don't exit with profit, Last year we saw so many projects go up after launch because the trading was "buy and believe" not "buy to flip asap or exit fast if it looks bad"
I don't think 90% of the projects that went up last year post launch, could go up again this year simply because of the number of traders who look to enter and exit quickly and are willing to brick a floor if it means saving part of their position
Attention spans are shortening

Let's hop in. BAYC Land sale and $APE token
tl;dr: dont fade BAYC but always question some core components of the businesses operations. There are a lot of opportunities here and we have always said wgmi but sometimes its not that simple
lemme explain 👇🧵
Disclaimer: I love BAYC and YugaLabs. I think what they've done in this space is iconic and difficult to achieve. In this thread I will give both negative and positive opinions and bc the community is so abrasive towards ppl who don't champion BAYC i want to say to them: too bad

Pixelmon raised $70m for a game that isnt anywhere close to being finished, encouraged people to buy the peak of their DA, and did it all by growing their socials/discord to enormous sizes to give off an illusion of desire
The NFT space is doomed if it cannot recognize red flags
NFTs are feeling more and more like shit coin ICO’s of 2016/2017
The market is illogical and the winners are the people who are extracting ethereum at an astonishing pace by pretending to deliver something they likely never will
Heed my warning, protect your ETH from bad actors

Defi Kingdoms dev team is blaming the overall market conditions on why $JEWEL retraced from $22 to $8~
Refusing to believe that they didn’t introducedincredible pumpanomics for 3 weeks for their AVAX expansion and that this mega dump wasn’t always coming is truely wild
What I mean by this is that they decided to airdrop people who owned and staked $JEWEL over a 21 day rolling average an equivalent amount of coins for their AVAX expansion
This created the easiest buy and sell signal ever seen in crypto and an insanely easy exit for whales

The NFT space has a lot of technical jargon. The best and safest way to learn is to observe unless you want to lose money early
This is a deep dive on what GWEI you should expect before a launch, we'll start simple and then go deeper. I won't explain how to value your NFTs
👇🧵
Make note of the supply going to a public mint
With 1000 NFTs being released to a discord of 20,000 people, you could reasonably assume that you're going to have to pay some gwei to get your NFTs. (gas war)
gwei is the amount of gas you spend to get your txns processed

And for my next trick, i will show you how to make sure you don't miss the Adidas contract unpause
if you're still looking to mint, i'd read this
👇🧵
Adidas contract was paused by sending a txn to change the sale windows via the `editWindows` function:
Benders list of things to avoid in order to stay safe in this increasingly ruthless space, in no particular order:
1. Dont click links 2. Dont screenshare 3. Never execute code you don't understand 4. Always use NFT Trader or Sudoswap when trading NFTs w/ someone 5. Stay alert
6. Get a hardware wallet and secure your goods 7. Dont trade without an exit strategy 8. Be careful while under the influence of anything 9. Use 2FA on anything you can, it saves lives 10. Never trust anyone with your seed phrase 11. Dont share ur passwords (we know this one)

Bamboozlers launched with a bang, shot to a 4eth floor off launch then down to a 1e floor
Their launch came with a lot of criticism, so here is a detailed look from someone who knew the most about this project....me
I found it 24hrs early, heres how and what happened next🧵👇
I've put a lot of effort in to this space to push it in a direction that is better for everyone, especially the person with 0.1 eth in their wallet who cant afford a gas war
You can take this thread how you will, but it is the objective truth and I will always help those who ask

How did someone buy 1,000 NFTs from the Sevens drop using minimal gas with gwei pinned at 5k+ and the contract limiting txns to 1 per?
Technical deep dive below, strap in 👇
The Sevens contract had a require limiter set against the blocks timestamp to ensure 1 NFT per txn was enforced. So anyone whether minting through the contract or the website would have been limited by this. Except for our special person we're talking about here

I'm bullish on #BAKC & @BoredApeYC rising in price over the next 10 days despite any short term falls. The floor went from 2.6 to 2.1 in 48 hours and I expected this
Next i expect it to rise incredibly fast, and soon
Let me tell you why. Strap in, this will be big (1/??)👇
@BoredApeYC has confirmed that the dog holders will get a special item in July. July ends in 10 days. They also said that the dogs will have utility and be featured heavily in road map 2.0.
I won't speculate on what that is here though, this thread is all data driven (2/??)

Alright, putting it in the Twitter sphere. #BAKC hit a 3ETH floor by Friday.
If the announcement happens, we might even see a push towards 4.
Why do I think this? 👇🏼
BAYC is a proven project team and the BAKC announcement catapulted apes popularity. I expect the same to happen for dogs.
I don’t think the up and coming announcement will be a similar drop as before where each ape got a dog for free.
