Just bought this @unofficialmfers NFT.
Started with NFTs in 2021. What a ride.
Seen and witnessed and been through a lot. If asked today which projects are worth investing in, I’d have a hard time answering.
Obviously, Cryptopunks are kings, but I’m not dropping 70k on one. I respect the history and collection though.
BAYC have their rightful place and will likely do well long term, but I’m not interested enough to drop 18k on one.
Penguins are champions and will do very well, but a lot of that is priced in imo and I’m not interested in the artwork enough to pfp it and I’m not dropping 10k on something I won’t pfp.
Azuki’s look doesn’t interest me either, but they might have the best entry price and upside right now.
Those are some of the blue chips. There are others, but I just don’t find much interesting anymore. Doesn't mean there isn't. This is just where I'm currently at.
The few NFT projects I do find interesting are some older gems that I think would be cool to have as collectibles.
Nothing new interests me and there's just better places and ways to invest my energy, time, and money.
I'm still very supportive of the Plague ecosystem and truly want success for the entire community.
The Galactic Geckos are my top Solana NFT choice. I do a disservice to the community in some ways because they’re one of the best I’ve witnessed and I’m more of a lone wolf. I support them 100% though.
I think Less Than Three (LT3) has a ton of potential and I like the positivity they bring to the space.
I want Bearish to succeed as well. Hard working people behind that project.
I like the art of CryptoMories, the uniqueness of Wonky Stonks, the idea behind Hen House, and the wholesome goals of Nippy and Frensville.
But ultimately, my path led to this mfer. I've wanted one for a long time, but never grabbed one for some reason. That just changed though. Today, I'm a mfer.
And I don’t care about the floor price, the roadmap or lack thereof, or if I lose the money forever, because in the end, this mfer and what it represents in this space full of mfers now makes the most sense to this mfer.
Time to focus on what I want to be doing going forward while also accumulating, stacking sats, adding to my core holdings, and having fun with my satellite portfolio.
No ties. No strings. No BS.
Just a mfer doing what a mfer does.

@SmartContract And I will not support or use any of them. Crypto's most attractive feature is getting rid of these institutions and their archaic idiocy.
Since founding the Plague in 2022, we have collaborated with and supported dozens of other NFT projects.
In many different ways.
------------
Personally, I have:
- Given hundreds of hours of my personal time advising others (for free)
- Boosted their projects and helped them gained them visibility.
- Lost 6 figures of personal money supporting others' projects
----------------
The Frogs have been some of the most charitable people in Web3.
As a group we have:
- Donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to others
- Paid medical bills
- Paid college bills
-etc.
----------------
That being said...
The amount of times the Plague (and I) have been screwed over is really astounding.
Between two entities we did business with, we are close to $170k in services or products never delivered.
Sometimes we got screwed because those we supported had no intention to live up to their end of the bargain.
Most of the time it is just because they failed, had bad luck, or were not as competent as they pretended to be.
Regardless.. it has been very frustrating.
20x leverage is coming to RWAs.
A new way to trade exposure to the world's most in-demand assets, with up to 20x leverage and 24/7/365 access.
Ondo Perps goes live on June 9.
Finally joined @GalacticGeckoSG
One of the strongest projects on Solana, I don't dabble much but @genuinearticles is the man and deserves the respect 💯
The US government just seized $8 BILLION in Bitcoin from a single Cambodian businessman. The largest forfeiture in American history. Most people have never heard his name.
> Chen Zhi is 38 years old. He runs the Prince Group, one of the largest corporate conglomerates in Cambodia.
> On paper they do real estate, finance, banking, and consumer services across more than 30 countries.
> Behind the corporate cover, Prince Group ran at least 10 forced labor compounds across Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos.
> The workers inside were trafficked, beaten, sometimes sold between compounds and forced to run online scams under threat of violence.
> The scams are called pig butchering. A worker builds a fake online relationship with a stranger over weeks or months. Romance, friendship, business advice.
> Once the trust is built, they pitch a fake crypto investment platform. The victim deposits. The victim deposits more. Eventually the platform disappears and so does the worker.
> At just two of the compounds, the DOJ counted 1,250 mobile phones running 76,000 active social media accounts.
> The whole operation was generating $30 MILLION a day at its peak.
> The money flowed into Bitcoin wallets controlled directly by Chen Zhi.
> The US government just took 127,271 BTC from those wallets. Worth $8 BILLION at today's price. Worth $15 BILLION when they seized it.
> It is the largest forfeiture in American history.
> Chen Zhi has been indicted in Brooklyn federal court on wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy.
> He was arrested in Cambodia and deported to China earlier this year. Cambodia revoked his citizenship. His Prince Bank was ordered into liquidation. The UK froze his assets and his wife's.
> If he is convicted, the 127,271 BTC will be added to the US strategic Bitcoin reserve.
> The reserve currently holds around 198,000 BTC. Chen Zhi alone would push it to 325,000.
> No restitution plan has been announced for the victims he scammed. The US Treasury estimates Americans lost over $10 BILLION to Southeast Asian scam compounds in 2025 alone.
> The United States Institute of Peace puts the global figure at $64 BILLION a year.
The biggest fortune ever seized by the US government wasn't taken from a cartel or a bank. It was taken from a man running call centers full of slaves.

@LT3NFT is a great NFT project.
That's why I grabbed these beauties when the project began and they've been in my wallet since.
Good to see new people entering and seeing what LT3 has been building and how good they are for this space.
Congrats to @LT3NFT for continuing to build a community during this slow NFT period. 2x in a short span.
I entered this project a few days ago just to show support of the strong art and community. After finding them from @DedGorgez community.
The floor for LT3 is now up nearly 100% from when I entered.
Still feels under discovered.
Show your LT3!
