Listen "Some on-chain⛓ freudenfreude with a dash of off-chain schadenfreude "
Episode Synopsis
Celebrate the good shit when it happens. Over the last week Bryan Brinkman and Pindar Van Arman both released and sold out on-chain projects and they're glorious. Bryan put out an on-chain game "Cloud Poppers" and Pindar a 100% on-chain AI generated collection entitled "byteGANs." Check those projects out if you haven't yet.
On the other hand, the last week has seen the beginnings(?) of certain crop of 2021~2022 pfp projects post shitty announcements. The loudest news was probably from KRO who canceled the PROOF conference that had been scheduled for the first of this year that resulted in a proper market dump of their Moonbird pfp collection.
Rizzle and I talk about how no one really knows what they are doing when it comes to operating crypto project or communities (e.g. Moonbirds) but that some folks are just better at navigating the unknown than others (e.g. Polygon/Matic who made the hard decision *preemptively* reduce and consolidate headcount).
