@TheeHustleHouse Nice…you can always self-publish it over @stuff_io on the creator portal.

@joshualeestone @book_io Thank you for the update. That’s exciting news!

[Aerokrator @aerokrator]

Do you know people reading books? Then you know @book_io future users. Yes, even if they buy printed ones! Not much details so far except that physical sales should impact the token 👀. Check out the latest news in my recent video: https://t.co/OE5EyESWWm

@mikesmith 🦞, what is the context and meaning of this?

[tas8237 @tas8237]

@ScottiePippen How about the future of digital media coming to web3 via @stuff_io

@mikesmith Who is ‘We’?

[JOSHU₳ @joshualeestone]

Since you asked…

First, I appreciate you being here long term. That really matters. The @stuff_io / @book_io community has been awesome. I love you guys. Seriously.

Here’s what’s actually happening behind the scenes:

We are building media infrastructure (not a meme token). Real infrastructure is slower, more difficult, and less flashy in bear cycles.

In the last five years we have:
• Deployed across 6 blockchains
• Released 1,000+ projects
• Worked with hundreds of creators across books, music, film, and digital media
• Rebuilt tokenomics toward a product-driven consumption model

We’re in late-stage discussions on a very large enterprise initiative - the biggest thing we have ever done by several orders of magnitude. NDAs are real, so we can’t announce details yet. I know that’s frustrating. But it’s significant. As soon as we can share we will.

Most Web3 projects don’t have a consumable product that attracts liquidity from outside crypto. We do. But onboarding enterprises and mainstream users takes time and education.

For me personally I have been thinking of how we can get back to the basics and make things easier for people - first principles type stuff. How can we do this 10x more efficiently, what assumption from the past should we keep and what should we throw out.

About $STUFF:
I don’t talk much about the token because I never want anyone to think we’re trying to pump and dump. I share the frustration around the chart. It’s not unique to us and in many ways mirrors what Cardano experienced last year. No one enjoys seeing yearly lows. If ADA were trading at $4, we’d be in a very different position.

The silver lining is that many great companies are built in bear markets. I personally embrace that environment. It creates discipline, filters out noise, and gives builders room to execute. I also don’t mind proving haters wrong. There’s a Rockefeller quote I’ve always appreciated: the way to make money is to buy when there’s blood in the streets. From my perspective, periods like this are opportunity windows.

I won’t restate every utility here since the white paper covers it in depth, but at a high level:
• $STUFF will power our Layer 2 for media transactions
• It will power our marketplace and secondary store, both currently in development
• It will drive the Consume-to-Earn mechanism
• We are also preparing to bridge it to another chain (possibly two in discussion)

This is real infrastructure, not a narrative experiment.

Internally we joke that if we only cared about getting rich fast, we’d launch a meme token, promise massive returns, pump it, and disappear like many have done before. But that’s not who we are. We are building something meant to last. We believe the model is genuinely good for both creators and consumers. This is mission driven, not a shortcut to quick money.

We are not chasing meme cycles. We are not here to pump bags. We do not promise instant doubles or 1000x moves in a week.

What most Web3 projects lack is what we do have: a real consumable product. Digital media brings in real users from outside the crypto bubble. As those users come in, liquidity follows. That process takes time. It also requires significant education and onboarding work, especially at the enterprise level.

We are building patiently, through market cycles, with real products and real adoption as the focus.

About AI:
We have been in AI from the beginning. Before ChatGPT was publicly released, we were already using AI in the summer of 2022 to generate and sell book covers. AI has not been a trend we jumped on. It has been embedded in our company since the earliest days. We have dedicated AI engineers on the team, and these tools have been part of how we build for years.

Very early on we recognized that AI would dramatically expand the number of creators capable of producing meaningful work. Entire industries such as books, music, and film are being reshaped in real time. When creation becomes easier and more accessible, the bottleneck shifts from production to distribution, audience building, and monetization. We positioned ourselves to serve that shift. Our goal is to be the marketplace where this new wave of creators can connect directly with fans and sell their work. That evolution is already underway and still accelerating.

At the same time, we are aggressively pushing into agentic AI programming to fundamentally change how we operate. I am deeply focused on rethinking how we run the team, write and ship code, manage projects, and structure the entire production pipeline. We are designing workflows that are far more agent driven, while still carefully determining the right level of human oversight. The result is a level of speed that is difficult to overstate.

Some people are unsettled by this acceleration. I see it as a massive advantage. We already have an exceptional, highly creative, deeply technical team. AI does not replace that talent. It amplifies it. What used to take months now takes days. What used to take weeks now takes hours. That changes everything about how fast we can build.

If you’re looking for reassurance, just know we’re still here and actively building. We’ve been doing this every day for nearly five years. The opportunities in front of us is massive, and the timing of agentic development has allowed us to keep pace with the scale of the enterprise deals we’re working on. These are huge, meaningful initiatives with real upside, designed to bring in lots of new users and deeper liquidity through product sales and onboarding to blockchain infrastructure.

We’re not here to pump tokens or promise unrealistic returns. Our focus is building something durable. We are expanding enterprise distribution, accelerating development with AI, and increasing real token utility across the platform. Those fundamentals are what drive long term value.

We’re still here. Still building. Five years in.
