The only innovation I saw as different with the @Records_Network was how it aggregated content across several different social media platforms at once. While I find it commendable that the @bearish_af team found an avenue to continue pursuing it's proof of culture projects, there were a couple variables that kept me from wholeheartedly participating in this campaign where I would likely have been incentivized just for showing up.

When teams and communities are strong enough, their previous successes and failures ought not matter as much relative to their long term pursuits. For some reason the @Persona_Journey NFT mint impressed upon me as a massive failure. From what I recall, the supply never was fully claimed and the mint itself was quite stretched out. Moreover, the seemingly shoddy execution of that mint has impressed on my memory and already predisposed me against anything this brand dishes out in the future. Therefore, my first point is somewhat invalid as my primary community Bearish also had trouble during mint. However, the key difference in my mind is that our team had basically ended mint and consolidated momentum within 3 days of not fully minting out. If I recall correctly Personal was quite stretched and relatively toxic towards it's closure.

Moreover, when the platform went live it was inaccessible for Abstract wallets; having an Abstract campaign and not having a working Abstract sign in feature incited the same emotions that were present during their 2024 mint... at least for me.

It ought be noted that that Persona team got the platform up and working quickly, so hardly a hiccup for those new to their brand; however I was already having a predisposition to the experience based off the similarities to how I remember their mint being executed.

At that point I was arguably not an ideal user as predispositions likely affected my desire to fully understand the platform and participate in it's metrics. So naturally I also reference the platform navigation and metrics as confusing and problematic whereas I likely was just too rubbed wrong by the brand to put much effort into alleviating that perception.

Overall, it's my opinion that the Records Campaign did not incite the response that the Bearish team had expected so it will be interesting to see if the platform continues to evolve and accrue a userbase or if it's principles are simply repackaged under a different brand and label.

One thing is certain, many projects are going to try different things in their innovations; the ones that persevere despite a few hiccups will be the ones that thrive at the convergence of the next cycle. Therefore my faith continues without waver for the Bearish team and community!

@GMB_XBT @AbstractChain I believe, but man I wish it were not pulling teeth to get xp each week.

[Edge @Edge0x]

@Dominikz177 @MindfulMarketOG @LaraTheRudeDuck @absforeever One thing is for sure, future innovation on the chain needs to be conducted on a shoestring budget as it's my belief that a majority of crypto users that aren't spooks have been burned in one way or another and are highly combative to the prospect of that same insanity.

[Edge @Edge0x]

My personal opinion is they only did something relative to gp because they got pulled off the Abstract portal and were the talk of the timeline...

A while back, I won a giveaway that was supposed to give $50 in Gacha Pulls, but they never followed up and made that right for me.

[GMB @GMB_XBT]

Important Update from @gacha_game_:

"The remaining Grand Jackpot will be redistributed to OG supporters through pull gacha game."

The Jackpot currently sits at $78k and nobody has won it yet.

Looks like your Gacha Points & Volume will matter.

Make sure you're signed up to gacha pull to get rewards when they come.

[Edge @Edge0x]

@GMB_XBT @gacha_game_ I'll believe it when I see it...

[Edge @Edge0x]

@Dominikz177 @bearish_af I've been focusing on accruing more $ABX, so we shall see how dumb I really am...

@Rubiks_Gus That's not what they said in the wild west!

Could this be the end of one of the strangest groups that existed in Abstract?

I’m curious whether this is the classic case where faith ends where money starts running out. I won’t dig into it I hope the people who were there will create their own groups and it will be possible to join somewhere

[Edge @Edge0x]

@Dominikz177 Seems like it, reminds me of smallcoin a bit

[Edge @Edge0x]

@Dominikz177 I actually agree with this prediction 🤝

Now is kind of an opportunity if it's true

[Edge @Edge0x]

@Dominikz177 Only true stables will do well during this wave. All of crypto is going to hurt for awhile IMO

[Edge @Edge0x]

@absforeever @MindfulMarketOG It's going to get rough out here, 4 year cycles might actually be a thing

[Edge @Edge0x]

@absforeever @gacha_game_ Still is on my portal

@7m7hst98rg College is for beers and networking, enjoy!

Just read if you want to level up fast🤝

@7m7hst98rg If it moons youre a god 🤝

[Edge @Edge0x]

@7m7hst98rg @AbstractChain Appreciate the positive sentiments sent my way Nammari, always reciprocating what I receive!

[Edge @Edge0x]

I've been extremely butthurt about @AbstractChain XP this year, literally have been getting an average of 2k XP/wk since these changes took place.

I've been with this chain since it's inception, I at the very least want to hit the finish line with a Platinum commendation. We shall see if it's feasible, ~400k XP left until I cross that threshold 👍
