I’m not just watching the World Cup. I’m competing in it. Just joined the Mexico🇲🇽National Team on @PicksdotApp
This WC hits different. Watching legends I grew up with, possibly for the last time. Two of the greatest to ever play the sport are still in it. Don't miss this one (Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 and Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹).
2026 is on Mexican soil. This is our year! 🥇
My squad is locked in. Is yours? 🔐 @Spoder0@laulau_eth@Memo_Chimal@Memo_Mx
*Shoutout to the most legendary Mexican captain🐯
@BlueTigerX_
the champ, he will take us to victory.

PAST 👉 PRESENT 👉 FUTURE
Let’s talk about @thebeaksart
THREAD✍️
I am in NFTs since early 2022 & in digital art since January 2023 when I discovered & felt in love with @jackbutcher ´s art
Today I would to talk about The Beaks by @DKashtalyan
PAST ⬇️
Tbh & I said this before the mint release, the distribution of WLS was bad for this kind of art project prioritizing hype & flippers over collectors. Those who will go beyond hype & price, giving the artist time especially when he had more than proven in the past even if it's IRL.
Moreover, this was felt as much in the pointless tweets predicting pre-mint prices as and in the post reveal reactions to the dump or to claim that many NFTs looked alike, a point on which I disagree & even if I did, it wouldn't impact my collecting if the art itself is good (very good in this case), because I don't intend to buy the entire collection. (90% of people will have fewer than 10 NFTs from the collection anyway & even in its original condition,
it was easy to find 10 truly different pieces but anyway, that’s the past & everyone can make mistakes.
PRESENT ⬇️
I will be shorter on this one.
It’s about 11 or 12 days since the launch. Dima (the artist) & his team are here with the community on X/Discord everyday working, listening & delivering when 95% of artists/founder disappear after 1 week.
During these less than 2 weeks he :
- Renamed all the traits to give them a more personal lore.
- Delivered for free 8 new backgrounds that you can add to your beaks.
- An onchain swapper for the community to test & choose or not these new backgrounds
If you've been in the game long enough, you know it's remarkable and where it will lead longterm. Success !
FUTURE ⬇️
Here is a summary in a few words :
- Dima will deliver new backgrounds, new traits… that you will be able to swap or not if u don’t want or want to wait for other ones.
A last word for those who will read until there. Thank you & don’t forget that as it’s written on the website or in the « about » section on @opensea@thebeaksart is a Genesis collection.
It’s deeply disappointing to see how most people in this space only care about quick profit, completely blind to the actual value of art.
Art takes time, effort, and a piece of the creator's soul. Yet, people treat it like a casino ticker. As someone passionately fond of drawing, seeing the effort and sweat of talented artists brushed aside for short term speculation is painful.
We've shifted into a hit and run meta where nobody stops to appreciate the masterpiece.
