Been working with the folks at @HologramLabs on a few things.

What are people going to do when a frog from a scrappy little NFT project keeps showing up wherever they look?

[Jonah @JonahBlake]

This is a new series we're trying called FUDcast.

We interview notable people on video with editing.

The first ep. is @Pons_ETH

We have another clip the editor is working on that covers NFT equity, but we need to cut for social media bite sizes.

Thank you to the team from @pixels_online for integrating @ThePlagueNFT into their game!

Oh, and we got all the Pixel Frog traits as part of the process! 👀

I told you that you would see the Frogs in many of the top games coming out of the NFT ecosystem.

More to come!

[The Plague Of Frogs 🐸 @ThePlagueNFT]

Frogs are now in @pixels_online!

Exciting news!

Every single frog in The Plague collection is now playable in Pixels!

See Discord for more info 🐸

Happy to announce that we have formalized our plans with a roasting and distribution partner in the UK.

We have also purchased additional beans from some new farmer partners in El Salvador. We will reflect these new partners on our website soon.

This partnership will allow us to fast-track our international growth. In fact, I think it is likely you will see @Making_Coffee_ showing up in local grocery stores and cafes in the UK in the very near future!

More to come.

[Dive @DiveTalent]

After finishing in 5th place in the @0xPolygon grant contest, @Seekr_io is now live on @Giveth!

As we gear up for our official fundraising round beginning in less than a week, we've opened the doors early for donations.

Stay tuned for more details once the round goes live!

[HiKESHi Spirit @HiKESHi_BTC]

Everything about Hikeshi Spirit is authentic

Our brand is authentically Japanese 日本の粋和の心
Our style is authentic
Our art is authentic

Our goal is for our NFT community to be authentic as well

Picked up this fella being disrespected on the floor!

[Steve 🤙 @SteveKBark]

Just bought three bags of @Making_Coffee_. The radical transparency of the process is great, but the money set aside for the farm workers is next-level.

Using crypto and the blockchain to shake things up. You love to see it.

Proud to have MC as a Coffee with Captain partner.

I was starting to give up on the "community is utility" argument after being apart of one of the strongest communities ever that resulted in a rug a couple years ago.

I'm fully back in on it at this point, but there needs to be more than just the active and loud community 👇

A strong community on their own is always fun. However, I would no longer be able to justify spending over $1,000 on a JPEG solely to have fun in that community. I can do that for free in their discord.

However, if you have that strong community plus a founder with a business vision to leverage and incentivize said community to build a strong brand and marketing force inside and outside of web 3, then you can absolutely call that utility and monetize it as well.

This is exactly what @ThePlagueNFT has done.

Everyone in web 3 has seen the strength of our community. Whether it be in polls, supporting other frogs, welcoming new holders, etc. If you have been in web 3 for more than a year, you know who we are. Look at the welcome @OneAndOnlyPapii got a couple days ago 👇💯

Now a loud welcome is cool and all, but that won't be able to keep a project successful long-term. It's the other things a community can provide.

@Pons_ETH has told the story many times of how @Making_Coffee_ came about. He was on a space and some bozo frog came on stage and said we should buy Nicaragua and name it Nicafrogua (not all ideas are winners 😂).

But this ended up developing into discussions with other frogs who had connections to the government in El Salvador and ultimately resulted in the birth of @Making_Coffee_. That is utility.

And now that @Making_Coffee_ has launched, you see posts like this all over the timeline.

This is the beauty of launching businesses with a community that is incentivized to help you in that endeavor. Not only do you see the word of mouth marketing on the timeline every single day, this marketing is also happening outside of web 3.

@ThePlagueNFT team also got immediate feedback on the website design and help in catching any bugs for a faster turnaround. They'll also get feedback on the product itself and the packaging. This is utility.

How do you think household brands like Apple or Stanley cups became so popular?

It's a good product yes, but then you have die hard consumers that have Apple vs Android arguments where they defend their brand until they are blue in the face for free.

NFT communities will have this similar effect of spreading a product and brand, however it will be multiplied since holders have a real reason to market the products through $FRG and now equity in the business.

The final part of why I am so bullish on this web 3 community aspect is because of how global it is right off the bat.

Many brands have to start small and then slowly break out into different markets. The frogs are already all over the globe, and this is a map to prove it.

This is SOOOOO bullish for launching products/businesses. Every one of these frogs will likely have a cup of @Making_Coffee_ and give a bag or two to their friends/family.

And their friends/family will like it and tell a couple other people at work and so on and so forth. This effect will have our coffee brand slowly spreading across every region in the world much faster than any typical start up brand ever could.

This thinking in my head is why I wasn't opposed to the @LazyLionsNFT acquisition right off the bat. If there was a way to add 5,000 additional people on this map and incentivize them the same way to use and market our products, this "spread" would be multiplied tenfold. Not sure if that's possible though.

But that discussion is for another thread.

I hope you can see from this that community 1000% = utility if used correctly. And on top of that, holders can have a blast talking with people from different countries every single day 🐸

[CK @CaptainCKeth]

I joined the Plague today. 🐸

Innovators don't follow the narrative; they write it.

This is why I joined the plague.

[Kelly_NWB @NrthWestBound]

I've been in this space for a few years.
And have to get something off my chest.

Starting with Pons' latest announcement.
On Merch.⤵️⤵️

Everybody's got merch, yeah?
Everybody's got a hoody. ✅

What I have NOT witnessed, is a business model to introduce the brand to the normies..

With....Wait for it........Merch..

Not even merch for the holders.. say what ??

See, holders are die-hard. We'll buy whatever you put in front of us... Often to our own detriment. (if you've bought merch for a project that went belly up 6 months later, raise your hands).. Yeah. I know.. me too.. 🤝

Side note: quite frankly, ngl, I NEED one of these hoodies. 🔥

That's the power of "branding". Or a sign of a true degenerate. Pretty sure it's a little bit of both for me.

Between the Frog Tank projects, the businesses being setup (@SwampWaterBrand & @Making_Coffee_) and the move to start pockets of Plague internationally, I believe something very serious is brewing.. (pun intended for the liquid gang above) 🍻☕️

And I'm not even listing all they're doing, because I'm still researching.. (tadpole status initiated).☺️

@Pons_ETH and the @ThePlagueNFT are at entirely different level. Not checkers vs chess, or the proverbial, 4d chess clichés.

No, this is something different.
A game we've not seen before. Not at this level.

Leveraging the power of successful business owners/methods, vetted through an NFT project and launched into the real world. And it's happening in real time.. piece by piece.

For that reason, I believe Plague will be unstoppable. Feels inevitable at this point.

This is not a paid shill, I'm no influencer, just a regular dude (non-holder) with zero expectations.

No expectations other than to do my part about writing about what I see. It's real, honest and 100% Kelly

If we want the NFT space to succeed, and I believe anyone reading this does, we need to step up.

But how?

Search the ones building/working for their community, and start talking to them. Interact, engage, be part of the success. Help them succeed.

Hell, just root them on if you have to.. (raises hand). It benefits all of us in Web3. In so many ways.

I've started doing that with a few communities and my NFT space experience is 1000X more enjoyable..

But that might just be me. You do you fam.. Always.

Nothing is for certain, nothing is guaranteed, but one thing I'm absolutely confident will happen.. is...

I will be right here, rooting these mfr's on, daily, and will do what I can to help them succeed.

Come hell or "Swamp Water" 🐸💚

(DYOR, NFA and all the other boring disclaimers).

[NFTLove @NFTLOVE_Eth]

Appreciate the frogs that hit me up and reached out to show love!

Once again I've experienced the warmth of @ThePlagueNFT family. #1 community in Web 3

And since many also requested, we'll finish what we started! Get ready for FROG AWARDS 2023 GALA

Which community is the strongest?

The Plague is spreading to Japan.

Our friends at Hikeshi will start carrying this hanten hoodie (made in Japan) in their storefront in the Asakusa is Sensoji Temple area.

The temple gets nearly 30 million visitors per year from all over the world.

My guess is that they will sell-out (relatively low qty initial test) rather quickly. And I mean sales to their customers, not our holders.

Once that proves out, we will work with them on a few more pieces and integrate a process that introduces the apparel buyer into the Plague NFT ecosystem.

Oh yeah, we will also be bringing @HiKESHi_NFT to life very soon as well.
