@mr_benft You ignore your family for 3 years and put everything into people who don’t like you back. Spent every last drop of your blood, sanity, time, and sleep to show up for your community. And guess what, they still don’t like you!
Introducing The KILLABEARS AR Experience: We are proud to announce that recently we were selected as one of a small group of brands invited into Snapchat’s new In-Lens Digital Goods (ILDG) program.
What began as a test build of some AR lenses for the community, has now grown into the KILLABEARS Experience being featured by Snap at their upcoming AR event - LensFest Nov. 9th
We are more than grateful to everyone involved in this exciting new opportunity to expand awareness of the bears through Snap's innovative tech and distribution network.
The lenses will be available next week inside the Snapchat App!
Special thanks to QReal and M7 Innovations for your partnership.
"And Ben, I'm coming for everything you care about. FAFO"
A while back a formerly prominent member of our community sent me a message demanding 250 ETH to "settle" the grievances he had with some of the decisions we made with the direction of the business, and threatening several actions if this demand wasn’t complied with.
After consulting with our counsel, a decision was made to ignore this clear extortion attempt, and continue to push forward on my duties to continue building the company. (This is not the first time this person has sent a demand like this to a project founder)
Since then, because he didn't get his way, this individual has unfortunately done everything in his power to to drag my name across social media. Sharing private DMs in an attempt to spin a picture that quite frankly exists only in his mind.
One of these DMs contained a disparaging statement I made about a fellow founder which I do regret as it was based on bad info I received. I have since been in contact with this founder to explain, and apologize, which was accepted and understood.
Now, however - among this disgruntled former holder's social media tirades, he has escalated beyond defamation, and crossed into the territory of both direct and indirect threats to myself and my family.
This is not ok and if it continues, appropriate action will be taken on our behalf.
Not agreeing with some decisions that were made is one thing. As you all know I am extremely accessible to chat, and have been since the start of Killabears.
However threats to myself and "everything I care about" because you didn't agree with some decisions made from a business standpoint is beyond inappropriate.
We take feedback from the community very seriously. That doesn't always mean we implement it.
Our focus is on building this business in a way that sets it up for long-term success based on our past successful track record of building businesses.
With the way the markets have been behaving over the past 6-12 months, this may not be openly apparent to some, but I can tell you we are executing from the standpoint of a very long term vision we have with the bears and the ecosystem as a whole.
Not every decision is right. Mistakes will be made. Just as it is with all startups in the early stages. When this happens we simply make adjustments based on feedback, data, and strategy, and move forward.
For the community members who continue to support us, we sincerely appreciate you.
The amount of work our team have put in, and continue putting in as we work to build and navigate through this new and experimental industry is something I'm incredibly proud of.
It's unfortunate that I even had to respond to this publicly, but I wanted to set the record straight.
The Special Edition Soft Launch of our KillaShop is now LIVE!

Woke up blessed to be a bear 🐻
@killabearsnft
Excited for the Combinizer! If you didn’t know already you can merge certain traits together (burning the tokens from the contract) to create rarer ones! This Skull Armor chest plate takes 2 Black T shirts and 1 Blue Sweatshirt!
The metadata for my Bit-Boosted #Killacub Cubryos is changing 👀
Can’t wait to see how the metadata changes over the next 8 weeks and how this story develops!
Great job and good attention to the little details to make our experience better @killabearsnft team
On behalf of the whole #KillaFam, I’d like to personally welcome all our new Killaz who entered the #Killaverse thru today’s #Killacubs Mint,
This is a MAJOR milestone in the evolution of this ecosystem and the story you all now find yourself deeply immersed within. Buckle up, buttercups!😜🔥
I’d also like us all to take a moment, together, to congratulate the @killabearsnft team for their incredible achievement. Minting out the #Killacubs collection within 30 mins of releasing mint to the public??!! 🤌
@mr_benft@kickRRR@MemoAngeles_KB@KryptoBean - What an accomplishment! In a string of many that have gradually reset the bar for what Web3 should expect from a team. From a COMPANY.
And we’re just revving the engine, boys...👊
Nothing compares to my @killabearsnft
Well folks……thats a wrap! Just a testament to what the @killabearsnft team has done during the bear market! To those of you that are new to the killaverse…WELCOME! Buckle up and enjoy the ride! @kickRRR@mr_benft@MemoAngeles_KB@KryptoBean 🤝🧸📈🔥
