We’re in the middle of the greatest spiritual battle in human history and most people think it’s just politics.
It’s not left vs right anymore.
It’s awake vs asleep.
One-man army: @spencer
I see a lot of frustration right now especially from holders but let’s be honest: this cycle repeats in every project when expectations don’t match the moment
Building is hard. Leading in public is harder. Yet @spencer continues to show up for Moonbirds, day after day.
Markets change. Sentiment swings.
Vision lasts.
Respect to founders who stay locked on the long term while the noise fades away
$BIRB IN CONTROL 🦉🦉🦉
One thing I can definitely say is that @spencer is one of the smartest guys in the NFT space.
Especially after talking to him at the Orange Cap x Pudgy Penguins event during Singapore Token2049.
It’s not an easy task to run a project without any incentives for a straight seven months. When everyone thought @moonbirds was dead, he stepped forward, took over the reins and the rest is history.
Not to mention, team and investor tokens are locked for another year whereas Moonbirds holders were able to claim all the SBTs for free which will be 100% unlocked in a couple of minutes/hours and on top of that there’s a 25% allocation specifically for holders.
I mean, he could have just unlocked 100% of the tokens at TGE and holders would have dumped them and moved on. Instead, he chose to keep them vested for 24 months so he could work for the birbs every day.
All I can say is, it’s not easy to be a builder or founder in this space especially when NFTs are barely moving.
Don’t forget, a little appreciation goes a long way.
Spencer and Orange Cap Games acquired Moonbirds in June, just seven months ago.
Tomorrow they are dropping their token.
That's fast.
A LOT of NFT projects and protocols promised ecosystem tokens 5+ years ago at this point, and still to this day many of those projects don't have a TGE imminent (though many have points programs). Some protocols have rugged their airdrop promises entirely and have proceeded to ICO.
Many tier 1 NFT projects like Azuki and Doodles launched tokens last year, and from what I can tell on the tl, those holders don't seem to identify with the ecosytem token. Most only care about the NFT, despite the team making $0 from the NFTs.
If you want success, you gotta have alignment.
Birb is airdropping some of the token day 1 to NFT holders, and then is making them vest for the rest monthly over 24 months.
It's a bold, risky strategy to make NFT holders vest because many NFT holders would rather see an airdrop as a cash-in moment, sell, and move on. There will certainly be some of that.
But I don't blame Spencer for trying to create a situation that aligns NFT holders with the token for longer than it takes to sell.
Spencer is in the top 5 smartest people I've ever met in crypto, and he's an absolute dog. He was always going to take a wild swing. Looking forward to seeing how the TGE plays out, not just tomorrow but over the months to come.
@BigFloppaEth@moonbirds@Ocapgames@spencer Collectibles started shipping over a week ago...just saying. But i hear you. I got my birb a year ago for like .5 eth and already been paid back for it and then some via airdrops so its only green from here for this birb. I might just keep it forever lol
@whoisneks@igottheherb@moonbirds I seriously doubt hes only thinking about himself and what he can get. He always mentions this as a long term project so this is all irrelevant i.m.o
