What if I took away the future $GRIND allo from everyone who dumped (and is no longer supporting us) outside of our core communities... and added their future allo to those who did not dump?
Imagine being the people who sold $GRIND at $2.3 million
Now imagine being the person looking back after selling at $4.8 million
This is the #1 memecoin on Abstract…. The chart just hasn’t caught up
If we are going to keep doing business here and we are going to really try an innovate, eventually we will have to call this stuff out
If there were whispers and grumbling of an Argentina coin as @notthreadguy says in this video… did you hear them?
I bet you didn’t. I certainly didn’t.
So then you don’t have a skill issue.
At best, you have a knowledge gap issue. But not a gap you can close.
At worst you have an insider trading issue.
You have a group of people either playing us, or getting played by others at our expense.
On the bright side, at least now they are admitting it is a “sky casino” they are operating.
But gambling does not bring mass adoption into crypto.
Gambling brings financial losses to the majority….. it’s a redistribution from the many for the benefit of the few.
This is objectively true. No matter how many mental gyrations they try and run you through.
Gambling with memecoins is no more innovative than the creation of video poker was.
Gambling on LLMs is not an innovation of AI any more than gambling on AGI will be.
A failed app dropping a token for people to gamble on is not the “iNtErNeT cAPiTal mArKeTs”
They have been wrong far more than they have been right. This objectively provable.
I am happy to publish a list off all the narratives they have drug you through over the years.
One last thing….
A doxxed wallet where thousands of people copy trade you will obviously give you an advantage towards dumping on people.
Stop lying to yourself. It’s not skill.
These are not controversial takes.
If you want to participate in this kind of stuff by all means do so.
But stop the BS.
Billions of people around the world are stuck in the hamster wheel of life.
Grinding day in and day out, looking for a way out.
This hamster will lead them off of that wheel.
Escape the grind. Embrace the $GRIND.
@GrindTheCoin
.@GrindTheCoin has been in the works since early 2024.
The plan has been to launch $GRIND on BASE or SOL.
Most of the people I talked to recommended SOL, because SOL is where most of the memecoin action takes place.
However, we chose @AbstractChain.
We chose Abstract because we believe that the Igloo team is the team most likely to create the best consumer facing environment.
That is the perfect setup for our token.
Because you won't just see $GRIND on Crypto X.
That hamster and that song will be heard around the world.
Buckle up.
The next onboarding event will go live between 11am and 1pm EST.
This round the Prize will be a Sappy Seal and 5,000 $PIXL
1 Ticket = 1 Frog NFT at a discount
1 Ticket = Entry into Raffle
Probably a max of 40-50 total tickets available.
Communities that can participate so far are:
Jirasan
Genuine Undead
Quirkies
Azuki
Who else should I include?
Seals and Frogs are excluded from this one.
The purpose of this event is to create an opportunity for people to join @ThePlagueNFT ecosystem in a fun way.
Our first @Making_Coffee_ machine was installed in an the 187th Fighter Wing of the Alabama Air National Guard.
One more connection point in our global community is online.
An NFT company is building this.
If you are an NFT project dealing in physical goods, then @WenSwap_io can help you add utility to your holders.
In fact, you can token-gate your products so that only your holders can participate.
Which will give them a chance to earn money while helping your business manage its cashflow.
Stay tuned for more info.
Thanks to our Frog @Seansimmonds11 , hotel guests at The Victoria Hotel and Bistro in England, will now wake up to a great cup of @Making_Coffee_ from El Salvador.
I may have to go visit the hotel myself!

The Plague is an idea.
The idea that the right community paired with the right resources (i.e. blockchain tech, great minds, and the network effect of the community, etc.) can create better business models, better governance systems, and ultimately.... possibly... a better society.
This idea -- although somewhat hazy now -- is no surprise to those that have been here since the beginning. For many, it is why you joined originally.
But the idea has gotten hazy. Not because of what we have done, but because of what we have focused on.
We need to paint the idea of this picture with more clarity.
To spread this idea - or to spread The Plague -- is our only "reason for being."
More on this to come.
Do you drink coffee every day? Why not drink ours?
One of the businesses to come out of The Plague Ecosystem through @Utility_Wen is @Making_Coffee_
We have been building the infrastructure for this business for over a year now.
Our goal is to create a business model that builds WITH a community.
This means replacing corporate margin opportunities with opportunities for our members instead.
For Example: We don't want to own our inventory. We want our community to own it instead.
This is just one of our three Pillars.
More on that later.
That being said, we have missed a few deadlines, and as a result we are behind in our revenue milestones. In July, we will have most of the pieces in place, and on our way to disrupting the grind of the coffee industry.
That being said, you can support us today.
If you are in the USA or Europe, please visit our website (URL in @Making_Coffee_ profile) and try our coffee.
Also, please follow the Making Coffee account. Some exciting news happening there.
P.S. In true Web3 fashion, we have rewards coming for those who try our product.

The @HiKESHi_BTC Ordinal Mint is here!
https://t.co/gUFee8GvIB
✅ WL Mint starts at: 8AM EST
✅ Max of 2 Mints per wallet
✅ Mint Price is 0.0057 BTC
Head into their Discord for more details!
The @HiKESHi_BTC Ordinal mint is next Friday!
If you received WL from your community or from us directly, now is the time to "lock-in" your mint.
Link is here
🔥 https://t.co/xsYFRj4uqt 🔥
Please follow the instructions in this link to "lock-in" your guaranteed mint!
If you do not follow this process, your WL is NOT guaranteed and we might give it to someone else. There is no shortage of people that want it!
If you are an NFT project that would be interested in being vetted and introduced to some Web2 Brands, drop a comment below.
I will reach out to you for next steps.
I might also have another opportunity to discuss as well.
Two years ago today @ThePlagueNFT was born.
We minted 11,000 Frogs for $100 each.
We gave ZERO WL to influencers or KOLs, and ZERO WL to alpha groups. In fact, nearly every WL we gave away was randomly picked from Twitter posts. This was a different kind of mint.
After mint we bought back 275 and burned them.
For the culture.
So today there are 10,725 Frogs.
Nearly 400 projects have had more secondary volume than we have had. The majority of all of those projects had a higher mint price.
And most of them are now dead.
But we are still here.
We are still here furthering our core mission, which is to create a widely recognized Web3 brand that "decentralizes opportunity" for its holders. And we have been doing just that.
Since mint we have given away hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- To charity
- To help individuals in our community
- In giveaways
We have helped others launch their own projects. Both inside and outside of our @TheFrogTank process. Many Frogs have landed jobs and/or forged great friendships because of our community.
We have also tried many things that have failed.
But we are still here.
Over the coming weeks we will deliver on the items many Frogs have been waiting for us to roll-out. Some of them are long overdue.
We will also deliver on things that the frogs did not know we were working on. I am looking forward to seeing the reactions once it all hits.
Two years in the books.
Thank you to all of you who have stuck with us.
Here is to many more🥂
gm (been deciding on whether or not to send this since 6am)
This is a long one.
I have a request at the end. You can skip there if you don't want to read my "unpacking" of the argument.
=================================
I almost never talk about NFT floor prices.
Floor price is a terrible measure of how successful a project is, and an even worse indicator of how successful it will be.
However, I am going to talk about it (amongst other things) today. I apologize in advance for the "FUD".
=================================
The Frogs minted in April of 2022.
Below are the prices of just some the projects that the "bozo cabal" (who are now shilling you memecoins) called "blue chips" at that time.
None of them talked about the Frogs though. Because we did not play by their rules.
=================================
🛑STOP:
I need to say that I have nothing but respect for all of the teams used in the example below. Being a founder is a thankless job. Especially wen your floor is down. This is not about them. They don't really control their floor price, and I don't think they labeled themselves blue chips either.
The bozo cabal did.
This post is about the bozo cabal. The ones that you keep listening to.
==================================
One last preface. Some will say I cherry picked the data by picking a certain point in time (April 2022). This is true. But you can pick almost any point of time over the last two years and compare the Frogs, and you will see we have outperformed. In ETH and USD.
Now, why am I even showing this data?
I show you data below for two reasons.
1⃣To remind you that --- in-fact --- by listening to the bozo cabal, you have not chosen rich. You have chosen to "chase riches", and most of you have failed. I am sorry.
The Nick troll is hilarious though. Hope he keeps the momentum.
2⃣ To get your attention. Nothing does that better than showing floor price performance comparisons.
3⃣I want to compare the results of what happens when you listen to the bozo cabal vs what happens when you listen to those of us who are actually here to crate something.
✅ 1). The Frogs did it our way.
- Despite NEVER having even ONE of the big influencers shill us....
- Despite NEVER having the commonly accepted "KOLs" change their PFP to a Frog to pump their bags.....
- Despite NEVER having whales like a Dingaling, or Free Lunch Capital, or Machi spend millions sweeping our floors....
- Despite being ignored by all of these new HYPED projects who would only partner with other projects that had "high floor prices" (where are all these hyped projects now??)....
- Despite big threadooors in the space ignoring us.....
- AND despite the fact that we don't have any of the legacy crypto or defi whales pumping our floors....
...The frogs are still here. And winning.
Maybe it would be better to say IN SPITE of all those things, The Frogs are winning.
✅ 2.) We stayed focus and did not lead you into all the nonsense for personal gain or engagement.
- Did you make money on Friendtech or its competitors?
- Did your engagement increase being a reply guy?
- How is your Threads account working out for you?
- How are all those other shiny objects the bozo cabal had you chasing around work out for you?
I bet it worked out FAR better for the bozo cabal than it did for you.
We said we would do things different. And we have.
We said we would be transparent. And we have.
We said we would build community first. And we have.
We said we would would decentralize opportunity.
And we have.
================================
🔥The Point 🔥
🙏We have one more BIG thing to accomplish. But we need your help.
We also said that would utilize the blockchain and the "Web3 ethos" to build a new way of doing business.
And we are THIS CLOSE 🤏 to breaking out.
Over the next couple of weeks and months we need your support with @Making_Coffee_ & @Wenswap
We need your support because we have a business presentation (not to a VC) coming up that would be one of the biggest deals to come out of the NFT space (if it happened).
But we need to show them the power of the Web3 community.
We need you to support us like you supported Luca and the Penguins. We need you to support us like you supported Nifty Island and some of these other brands with these airdrop events.
If you support us. We will reward you.
More details next week. Stay tuned.
P.S. I apologize again for focusing on all the lost ETH in that table.
P.S.S. There are several other projects that have had even more success than us. They can write their own threads though.

The frogs are two actions away from our tipping point moment.
1⃣Fix our art problem.
You think you know how we are fixing this. But you only know half of it.
2⃣Execution.
No timelines. No hints. Just talking about them AFTER we drop them.
If you are a Frog, you have one job. Have fun, make money during the bull (there are endless opportunities), and don't be a drag on our progress.
