Nuggies

Alright folks, the @heynuggies mint will end tonight, 7/24 at 11:59pm EST. Once complete, I will make sure there are enough collection bids (at 3 SOL) for anyone interested in selling. These bids will be live until Wednesday, 7/26, 11:59pm EST. Sharky loans have also been removed, they were a crucial part of our liquidity/market-making model but without minting out the full collection it's difficult to effectively experiment with those mechanics. Depending on how this all shakes out we may revisit, imho it's more important to get the mint itself resolved and the community some clarity. For those of you that decide to stick around, I believe there is a lot of strength in fostering a smaller community of like-minded individuals. To me, Nuggies represent all of the goodness on Solana so if I end up owning all of these myself that's a huge W in my book. I'm proud of my team, we tried what most projects weren't willing to do, launch a collection organically without any of the typical bullshit we're all used to. And for good measure, we minted on one of the worst volume/sentiment days Solana has ever had. The reality is, I wouldn't change a thing. While we likely won't be able to see our other experiments through, this experience was a real eye-opener for me and some of you too. Everything does happen for a reason! Going into this I had hoped for something memorable and ironically I got just that. The relationships I've made through all of this are worth more to me than minting out. That's something FUD can never take away, only strengthen. Much love -Jonny

The stock market could not exist without market-making. It's a really silly misconception for the Solana ecosystem to be against it and fud me for it. This is an organic part of every liquid market and I'd love to prove it to you all with @heynuggies. studio.metaplex.com/project/…

1/ The vast majority of projects focus too heavily on mint and not enough on secondary. I thought shifting that focus heavily on secondary instead, was the right thing for minters/holders.

Gm fam, minting @heynuggies when $SOL volume is 15k isn't for the faint of heart. We're here to prove a point, send a message and this is part of our story... The show goes on and we stay the course, not for our egos, but to push @Solana forward. studio.metaplex.com/project/…
