Simple… Really have always greatly respected and admired @LucaNetz for what he has built with @pudgypenguins. #6873 left facing 1/1 grail added to the collection tonight. Thankful for @Chubbicorn230 for your trust and for @ppmcghee for making it happen. My goal is someday to bring any and all NFT communities together supporting each other. Hopefully in the future every Ape will own a Pudgy and every Pudgy will own an Ape. Markets may currently be bleak but the future has never been brighter IMO ….. 💚
We're ushering into an era where the focus is finally back to the grassroots.
The stuff that made collecting fun in the first place where people would scroll for hours looking at traits, finding the NFT or IP that resonated with them.
That feeling has been missing for a long time.
But the part I'm most excited about is teams getting competitive again.
This was needed. NFTs have been stagnant for over a year, a straight line with no real movement across the board.
That competitive spirit between teams is what brings innovation, excitement, and gets communities riled up and pushing for their own side.
And the people who win out of this aren't the teams; it's the community.
The community gets new products, initiatives, and experiences, and they become part of something bigger.
A cultural movement that pushes the space forward pushes the next generation of collectors.
Like I've said before, remove the layers of incentives, remove the layers of farming, and at the core, people just love to collect.
They always have.
I tell every team to try their absolute hardest and be as competitive as they can.
I want it to be crazy, because at the end of the day, the community is the one who wins.
NF fucking Ts.
I’m incredibly proud and grateful to receive the Lil Pudgy, Big Impact SBT. Thank you @LilPudgys and @pudgypenguins

Took two weeks for the huddle to cross the great pond after our last stop in NYC ... but today we are back with a new "Rekindle the inner flame of the huddle" art piece by @FroggyCyborg!
This one is in honor of another awesome and huge subcommunity in the huddle: @PudgyEurope – led by the one and only @fifilechien! Thanks so much for all you do for the huddle.
It also features two of CT's European OG influencers that, while usually focused on the fungible coin & token side of things, fell in love with our beloved pudgy antarctic avian NFTs and have been holders as well as strong and vocal supporters of @pudgypenguins ever since: @ByzGeneral & @IvanOnTech! Thanks for being a part of the huddle!
Same goes for all the other legends from the (European) pudgy community that many of you will instantly recognize and that have been integral members of the huddle since a long time: @VIKTOR__VIKING, @p_eng_uin, @Inezbrs, @FoksiNoksi, @Burnasso, @StoopidPenguin, and @basedPavel! Appreciate you all!
Turns out though, Europe is pretty huge and has not only numerous countries but also a lot of huddle members in many of them. Thus we'll actually be staying around in my home turf Europe for a few more iterations of this art series that will feature other areas of Europe and more awesome community members of the huddle.
Hope this brightens the day of all of you seeing this amidst the rough moves of the crypto market today!
Till next time! 🩷🐧
A few days into June and our sub-communities are already bringing people together across continents, cultures and languages!
> @PudgyCanada will host a pickleball tournament, celebrate Canada Day with the community and attend the Blockchain Futurist Conference.
> @PudgyEurope kicked off the month with Proof of Pengu and will continue the momentum at NFC Summit alongside BAYC.
> @PudgyUkraine will bring the huddle to the Incrypted Conference.
It's amazing to see how the activations you're creating locally are connecting with people around the world.
Your impact is felt 💙
