@jbondwagon@LucaNetz To maybe directly address your original point about the game, it was imo just another desperate attempt at getting attention back for the ecosystem but that needs way more than a "game"
And it's not like we really made money from that either because the floor price basically adjusted the minute we got the allocation or tried to get it (claiming was a nightmare).
Now it's a constant talking point where he seems bitter that they don't get more recognition for that.
Sure it could have went differently but they hopped on the memecoin bandwagon too late and the day of the airdrop also marked the market top.
My issue is mostly with what followed. For as long as I can remember the mission was always that holders of bigs will be the centerpiece of the ecosystem and that definitely changed with Pengu and Abstract.
It also changed the landscape of the ecosystem and many OG holders started feeling like this is no longer representing the values they are standing for. The constant shilling of a memecoin isn't what I associated with Pudgys, for me it was always chad builders and respected OGs that proudly sported the cute Penguin as their PFPs and that got lost after the airdrop
Hyperliquid (Tradexyz) traders predicted the exact opening price of SpaceX.
The Hyperliquid SpaceX perp was trading at 171 just 1 minute before they announced the starting price of $171 per share.

@Shaughnessy119@HyperliquidX I remember Jeff's early interviews and thinking, this guy is either delusional or an absolute genius. Glad I bet on the genius part
