Still here and haven't sold a @pudgypenguins nft in years... why? thesis is still valid and even more so now without @AbstractChain in the way
Think hyper penguinization is around the corner now that Luca wants to prove everyone wrong

Oh wow, finally someone from the lying @pudgypenguins crew’s inner circle grew a spine and started telling the truth.
Now I’m just sitting here waiting for the next "mysterious" million to magically appear for buybacks of the dead collection just to fake the appearance of "control".
Nobody’s gonna forget @LucaNetz's Abstract rug, no matter how many posts Adam shits out.

Hey @LucaNetz and @CashBowie ,
Are you genuinely happy with how things are going and where the community stands today?
Please reconsider my post below. If possible, hand the network over to another team willing to carry it forward, or at least don't let the Abstract community's efforts go unrewarded.
During the $PENGU launch, you distributed airdrops to hundreds of thousands of wallets, many of which had questionable activity, and proudly presented it as a major achievement. And yes, I believe it was one too.
Yet today, you seem to have given up on rewarding the real community members who dedicated months, some even nearly two years, to Abstract.
Perhaps you think people will simply forget all of this. But what's being lost here isn't just rewards. It's the trust people placed in you.
Remember, Pudgy Penguins reached its ath during the PENGU launch, followed by another major peak during Abstract Season.
Whether you choose to view them as separate projects or not, the community has always seen Pudgy Penguins and Abstract as closely connected.
That's why assuming the loss of trust in Abstract won't affect the future of Pudgy Penguins could be a serious mistake.
It's understandable that a blockchain might not achieve the success everyone hoped for. But that doesn't justify ignoring the efforts of those who believed in it, dedicated their time, and helped it grow.
You can shut down @AbstractChain But you should also consider the consequences of losing the trust of the community you're leaving behind.
It's not too late. Please bring this chapter to a more respectful and fair conclusion.
The community never turned its back on Abstract.
@LucaNetz @CashBowie
@AbstractChain shouldn’t end like this.
For months, people helped grow this ecosystem by creating content, building products, growing communities, and spending hundreds of hours earning XP, badges, and roles.
Just some of the special badges/roles:
• Threadoor: 148
• Clippy: 182
• All-Star: 8
• Quant Role : 376
And on the tier side:
• Platinum: 2,589
• Diamond: 441
• Obsidian: 92
• Ethereal: 9
Closing the door without giving these people anything in return isn’t right.
There should be a meaningful final distribution for XP, tiers, and key badge/role holders. It doesn’t have to be huge; the point is not to let all that effort go completely unrewarded.
If Abstract is not going to continue, even handing over or selling the network to another team should be considered.
And this won’t only affect Abstract. You may be able to support the Pudgy Penguins floor price for a while, but you can’t buy back community trust the same way.
The community never turned its back on Abstract.
Abstract shouldn’t say goodbye to its community like this.

In past crises, I watched longtime Pudgy holders encourage each other, stand behind @LucaNetz and the team, and hold on together. That unity was an important part of Pudgy’s strength. Pudgy’s own 2022 recap acknowledged how important the community had been to its success.
What worries me now is more than the falling floor price. Some of the people who once defended the team are now questioning their own trust in it. I am one of them.
A united community cannot guarantee a price floor. But losing the reasons to stand together through difficult times is a different problem.
Can the @pudgypenguins come together again? I still hope so. For that to happen, the team needs to give its disappointed supporters a reason to believe again.

We airdropped $1.6b to people actually. Lol. The $100m was in reference to the abstract community who had only been around for 6 weeks.
