trying out new things

[ezra @ezra_tw]

FA Cup quarter-final

Manchester City vs Liverpool

two giants of modern English football

last decade:

- league titles
- Champions League nights
- title races decided by 1 point

for years it was

Guardiola vs Klopp

now the story changes

on one side:

Pep Guardiola

- control
- possession
- ruthless consistency

on the other:

Arne Slot

- new era at Liverpool
- attacking football
- trying to carry the legacy forward

this time, it’s the FA Cup

quarter-final

- no second chances
- 90 minutes
- maybe 120
- maybe penalties

one club goes to Wembley

the other watches from home

City’s machine vs Liverpool’s new chapter

who takes it? ⚽️

🚨🏆 FA Cup draw:

Manchester City vs Liverpool
Southampton vs Arsenal
Port Vale vs Chelsea
West Ham/Brentford vs Leeds

How to waste €222,000,000

be Neymar

- Brazilian superstar
- FC Barcelona golden boy
- part of MSN with Messi & Suárez
- UEFA Champions League winner

August 3, 2017

- leaves Barcelona
- joins Paris Saint-Germain

world-record transfer fee

€222,000,000

the plan:

- step out of Messi’s shadow
- win the Ballon d’Or
- lead PSG to Champions League glory

the reality:

- injuries
- birthday trips to Brazil mid-season
- UCL collapses
- constant drama

six seasons later:

- no Champions League
- leaves Europe
- legacy still debated

Still one of the most expensive transfer in football history

did it change football
or just prove money can’t buy legacy?

A lot of people are mixing this up, so let me clarify it once and for all.

1) Moana Launchpad is the product.

It’s a permissionless tool that lets any creator turn an NFT collection into a live, tradable token in one click.

- You choose when to go live.
- Holders get automatic on-chain airdrops.
- Liquidity gets deployed and locked instantly.

That’s the infra we’re building.

2) Moana NFT is not the platform.

It’s the official collection for the Moana community, the Moanads.

It represents early supporters, contributors, and the people riding with us as we build.

Think of it as the cultural layer of Moana, not the launchpad itself.

Launch details → TBA soon.

If you want to understand the mechanics behind the platform, the docs are here:

The infra is Moana.
The culture is Moana NFT.

Both matter, but for very different reasons.

[ezra @ezra_tw]

@monad has been the talk of the town, so you think it has done well so far?

Still looking forward to some key projects launching soon though.

@opensea @monad Time to sail

[ezra @ezra_tw]

@monad Final signal logged, mainnet season ahead

[ezra @ezra_tw]

@solana @monad MON trading on Solana before CEXs, that’s a power move.

Busy deving to stay on schedule

[ezra @ezra_tw]

@keoneHD For a network that aims to be decentralized, decisions like this make it feel a lot more centralized than it should be.

[ezra @ezra_tw]

@keoneHD It’s honestly disappointing that none of your team could get us access to the private mainnet, especially after all the effort we’ve put in, the messages we’ve sent, and the fact that we’ve been building on this chain for months with a unique, working product already.

[ezra @ezra_tw]

@keoneHD Great way to include everyday people in monad and basically securing $187M capital for monad ecosystem. Goodluck to all nads.

[Keone Hon @keoneHD]

Today, we are announcing the MON public sale - an effort to give everyday people the opportunity to become a stakeholder in the Monad network token, days before the public network launch.

The public sale of MON will go live on Coinbase token sales, a new platform from Coinbase for token distribution, a week from today.

This is the very first public sale that Coinbase has hosted, and it will be made available to 80+ countries, including the United States of America.

7.5% of the total monad supply will be sold at a price of $0.025/token.

At the Monad Foundation, we think big. Over 285,000 accounts were made eligible for the MON airdrop, in an attempt to get people who eat, sleep, and breathe crypto to be the initial stakeholders of the Monad ecosystem. This public sale has the potential to extend the reach of Monad by extending the distribution of MON into the hands of millions of regular people.

This sale is attempting to fulfill crypto’s founding promise: open, fair, and inclusive finance.

Monad was built in part to onboard the general public to crypto, and provide them with the tech that is ready for mass adoption. The world is a big place, and crypto needs to grow far beyond the Crypto Twitter bubble.

Onwards! ⚔️

i am once again asking for your most honest feedback about Moana

[ezra @ezra_tw]

GMONAD. I AM ABOUT TO WALK INTO THE MOST ABUNDANT BALANCED WEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL PERIOD OF MY LIFE. I NATURALLY ATTRACT GOOD FORTUNE, AND I AM WEALTHY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. I GIVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO PROSPER, AND I HAVE THE POWER TO BUILD THE LIFE THAT I DESIRE.

@monad Gmonad💜

[ezra @ezra_tw]

The only bullish thing in the market is NFT tokenization, feels like bitcoin in 2012

[ezra @ezra_tw]

You can now swap tokenized NFTs within Moana

Mainnet is gonna be fun. More exciting updates otw 💜
