I'm going to say something about the "Abstract situation" that will probably get me in trouble but I have a perspective that most people don't - i'm a founder $PENGU airdrop was huge, the biggest in existence, I know people who made A FORTUNE from that.. Look at it from Luca's point of view and/or the view of any investors/shareholders behind him... You give the average user in this space something and they expect more, for free, for doing nothing and it doesn't matter what you give them, all they care about is more, not all users are like this, some are genuine holders and users of products but I think its sage to say the overwhelming majority are scarily parasitic and will quite literally destroy a project - bold claim? No, I've watched it happen at Gamblor multiple times Nobody cares if its sustainable, nobody cares if you go out of business, nobody cares about anything other than how much can I extract from this project before it goes bust and I move onto another one and suck the life out of that one then rinse and repeat I have nearly left web3 multiple times because of this, I have only stayed because Gamblor and me have some amazing holders and amazing community members who show up and support every day, those people have kept me in this space and have kept me and the team building But the reality is this - people will farm your project then crash it into the ground without a second thought then do it again with another one and again and again If you're a blood sucking parasite maybe think that you could be the problem and maybe think that you damage it for the rest of the great people here From a business point of view, Abstract was great for us, last year we gave out over $1,000,000 in bonus codes, cashback and literal cash to our users from the revenue generated from Abstract $1M given out in 7 months on Abstract but the thing I realised very very quickly (and shareholders did too) is that nobody cares and they forget very quickly, it doesn't matter how much you give out because the only thing anyone wants is more We were one of the first projects to "leave" Abstract although we still used the chain daily and we left because the team in charge at the time couldn't run a business to save their lives but Abstract never scammed us, never scammed me, never extracted anything from me, business acumen aside Abstract was great, could it have been better, yes definitely but it wasn't bad and the people running it aren't scammers, they're just not business people and none of them had any experience running a blockchain, they got giddy with their new fame and power and fucked up but thats not a crime, thats inexperience, its not being a scammer, its being a human.... I witnessed Abstract through the eyes of a founder and other than the issues above I see no problems with it being wound down, it was a business that didn't work but people crying out for sending Pudgy Penguins to ZERO are moronic, with the greatest of respect you are the problem. I hold Pudgy's and Lil Pudgy's, we sponsored a Pudgy event in Dubai last year, Pudgy main account follows me on X, I check the floor price daily but I don't FUD, I HODL, I am not interested in the FP, i'm interested in the brand and I (unlike many) am loyal to Pudgy so block me, unfollow me, FUD me for supporting "scammers" but look in the mirror and tell me the last time you gave out millions to a community or in the case of the airdrop A BILLION...... Just my 2 cents, spend them as you wish
