I've seen this before to the point that it became so tiring to read all these glazing as the "smartest guy ever" to anyone who launched a token in this space.
wasn't every founder that had released a token back then was pontified as the genius, the smartest founder bla bla bla? didn't we say the same shit to all NFT founders back then?
I may sound so frustrated or a total bitch right now, and I hope @spencer / the @moonbirds community won't take offense on this but until there's a genuinely convincing reason why an NFT project needs a token....
AND until we can clearly articulate the concrete benefits it brings to the existing community, future buyers, and the team VERSUS the actual downsides of added risk, operational pressure, and another volatile variable in the business, all the grandstanding and “smartest founder alive” glazing looks meaningless.
If the goal is to launch a token to capture a wider market or tap into new liquidity, fine. Say that plainly. But let's not pretend that alone makes it a good business decision.
every NFT team said the same. but where's the actual execution? all NFT tokens have been always DOWN ONLY since then. for a very simple reason. we just simply don't have enough demand for NFTs let alone for tokens alongside it.
for years no one even bothered to ask the uncomfortable question:
does the underlying business already have sustained demand and durable attention? If so, just how huge that market is are we talking about? And is there a real PULL from the market without a token acting as a temporary crutch?
because fact of the matter is: if the core product and brand can't consistently earn attention and usage on its own, adding a token ultimately doesn't fix that lmao.
It just adds leverage, expectations, and downsides often faster than it adds value. (just how many NFT founders actually "took a break" after they launched a token and how many of then suddenly REFOCUSED their attention?)
a token should be an accelerant to something that's already working, not a substitute for product-market fit.
period.
and this is isn't just a question for Moonbirds. but actually a question to ALL NFT teams that launched a token and to those that are planning to launch a token.
I was doomscrolling on my Facebook account just 5 minutes ago and came across this post.
I took a pause and I was like, hmm the PFP somewhat feels familiar. Haha! Saw that someone took a screenshot of @Legendaryy's post.
Damn, my man made it on mainstream. 😂
They're having serious discussion on this guy's comment section. lol
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!
Is this a good sign for me to get back on X after 6months+ of intentionally avoiding this app for all the bullcrap that I've been seeing from all these "InfoFi" farmers? 🥰
never been so excited on an X update. lol
- lost a huge chunk of my port back in Q1 from trading NFTs.
- ended up selling the ETH I held since last cycle at a loss in the $2.7k range, only to watch it hit a cycle ATH two weeks later.
- spent most of late Q1 to Q2 sick, in and out of the hospital because of chronic stress and terrible lifestyle.
- sopped creating content. Went from consistently hitting 5–6 figures in impressions to barely touching 4 digits now.
- lost three of our rescued dogs two months ago.
- closed our business in June after running it at a loss for 15 straight months.
- now puzzled and clueless how I could rebuild myself back again.
I'm genuinely happy seeing people win on the TL, especially the friends I've been rooting for over the years. It feels good to see them get the things they've worked hard for. Fwiw, they all deserve it!
but at the same time, I know there are people like me who ended up on the other side of the coin this year -- confused if we're still doing the right thing, questioning our skills and capabilities, filled with regrets and quietly anxious while looking at time moves way too fast in front of us.
still, I'm hoping we all find our footing again before the year ends. Even if some of us are restarting back againnfrom zero, I hope we get another shot to feel like ourselves again.
God-willing.
🙏🏼

The strongest utility a token can have is people who care.
$MEME is an IP token driven by the community.
It lets us build a massive community (770K holders), distribute value through @Stakeland, and create products people actually use (AceTrader).
The utility isn't a forced mechanism. It's natural, aligned and holistic.
huge part of my personality is that I can only stick to something if I can feel there’s a greater purpose behind it.
and although I started in this space with the idea of unrealistic upside I sticked around because fell in love with the mission.
the idea of permissionless systems.
the belief that we could build something better.
the culture, the curiosity, the sense of shared purpose.
only to watch it spiral down over time.
seeing people who are supposedly “irrelevant” to what this industry stands for suddenly holding the mic and people who don’t represent the culture, somehow became the loudest voices.
and starting 2 years ago, it felt like this space was been reduced to nothing more than a money-making game.
a gambling-driven, hustle-obsessed culture at the front of everything.
Idk, man. but lately, I'm really having a hard time finding reason to stay here.
I loved this space so much but it’s hard to hold on when it feels like almost everyone around me is just here for the money.
Which isn’t inherently wrong…
But if that’s the only reason people stay, it’s harder to find meaning in it anymore.
Congratulations to me 🎉

Web3 brands have a distribution problem.
For @Memeland and $MEME, distribution is our moat through our existing audience and @9GAG.
An extension of this is partnerships with Web2 brands/ products with the Potatoz IP being integrated.
Stay tuned. 🥔
Another “meme” came into play
@Meme now it’s on @PulseInfra by @alphabot
His https://t.co/RDk3gIqTKm domain was sold for $1.25 million
