from
the
Issue 66 of #Shill zine. This issue has OVER 170 pages. A lot of new art, new names and new styles that
haven’t previously appeared in #Shill zine.
Four pieces (and 1 participation nft) that caught my eye from Exchange.art and Formfunction were
acquired and locked away in the #Shill vault. What have you collected?
Culture Hacker’s new series ODYSSEY is gearing up for the ESCAPE ROOM. This is a FIRST for the Solana
space. Any day now.
Articles (threads) from some very talented writers in the space including @SubaruImpreza09 and
@GUILD512. Add them to your FOLLOW if you want information that counts.
Our dear BU__UB gets some well deserved recognition in this issue with a great piece by
@iamKadense. R0b0sapiens takes us back to where it all began with his look over the Solana space
from when he started out. CelebCyborgs gives us a heads up about Lollapalooza and some great
services he is offering at the moment. SolMills looks at the recent DegenTown debacle and calls out
Magic Eden (will Goliath hear him?). And a plethora of articles to get you through the week.
Exchange Art has opened up ‘editions’ on the tail of Formfunction. Long awaited. Will it make an impact
on NFT artists and their sales? Time will tell. For the time being it looks like Formfunction has the lead
with a lot of artists taking up the opportunity to release editions. I see that one project has released a
7000 edition at 1 Sol per edition as an entry to their group/Discord. Avoiding the bigger marketplaces
and setting a precedence?
This week’s cover by @The_AO8 has a backstory to it. One worth looking up. I just couldn’t pass up not
using it for this issue when I learned what it was and why AO8 is doing what they’re doing. Kudos to you
AO8!

Sentiment towards Degen Town gets increasingly bearish as reports
of shady insider activity spread
Since Degen Town got hacked, it has been all downhill for the project. The lack of
communication backfired severely on them, and even in a time of uncertainty, the
project has chosen to keep its information tight to its chest, with little known
about the future of the project.
Pscarlyle claimed in another direct message that 0xlerk and NFTRamo had made off
with 80% of the mint funds, which added more fear and confusion to the entire situation.
It was claimed by pscarlyle that 0xlerk and NFTRamo had a controlling stake
in the project, and he was just “used” to hide the fact that NFTRamo was a founder
of the project.
As it stands, the project has 2 official accounts, @0xlerk which was 0xlerk’s original
account-cum-pseudo-project account due to their inability to reclaim the original
Twitter account, and @DegentownNFTs, which is followed by Magic Eden.
The new Degen Town Twitter account hosted a short space yesterday, where a morse
code was played, and it translated to “Degens will never die” according to some in
the reply section.

SHILL Issue #66

Yet it remains that not much is known about the future of the project. But the
project is down 87%, and unless the rumored partnership is true, it is unlikely we
will see Degen Town reclaim its highs again.
Degen Sweeper announce launch date
Degen Sweeper announces its launch date, which is set for Monday next week, the
25th of July. Many are excited about the mint, with it being one of the most highly
anticipated projects in recent times, but many are equally critical, believing that
the project is asking for too much for what they’re offering.
The team has also begun a public raffle for whitelist spots, where 2000 participants
will be guaranteed to be able to mint as long as they have sufficient Sol to do so.
Masked Ape DAO launch “flex-to-earn” in collaboration with Aiternate
Masked Ape DAO is an NFT project that minted for just 0.029 Sol on the 11th of July
2022. It has since climbed over 37x, sitting comfortably at 1.1 Sol right now.
They were able to accomplish this by being extremely active, “raiding” many tweets
from influencers, which basically means commenting, liking and retweeting posts.
Their desire is to create a raid to earn system, where their members, by simply
spreading the word about Masked Ape DAO, will be rewarded financially.
They announced the first steps towards this goal today by teaming up with Aiternate
to bring their novel “flex-to-earn” system to the project, where users can “flex”
or use an NFT from MAD as their profile picture, and earn 25 $MAD per day. The only
known utility of $MAD right now is that it’ll be needed to bid on a special 1/1 art
pieces coming out next week.
MAD also rolled out their raid to earn mechanic, where those who raid can get
tipped anywhere from .001-.005 Sol per raid, capped at .2 Sol per day per person.
They warned that they are keeping a close eye on those who are cheating the system,
and punishment is likely coming for bad actors.

Blocksmith Labs reveal sneak peek of art
upgrade
Frank has mentioned his love for art
before in an interview with Marc Colcer,
and also has mentioned how Duppies “is
going to look like fifteen thousand pieces
of fine art.”
The art market on Solana is far less
vibrant than it was towards the end of
2021, based on volumes on exchange.art,
but the artist in the space are a strong
community, and it’s likely we still haven’t
seen the full potential of 1/1 NFTs
yet.
Blocksmith Labs reveals an example of
their upcoming art upgrade. Their new
artwork adds more depth to the original
and adds a “crucial” rightward facing
component to the NFT, a factor many are
starting to believe is critical for a
project to succeed.
Blocksmith Labs is an NFT project focused
on building utilities for the rest
of the NFT ecosystem, launching its
whitelist manager Mercury earlier this
year, and with other tools being built
out soon, like their launchpad Bifrost,
which will be launching its first NFT
project later this week.
Since this sneak peek, the project has
pumped over 16%, with many seeing the
new art as more attractive for a mainstream
audience.

Project Deep Dives
Parrot Tools *The Etoro of Solana
NFTs* Notable Solana Mints
The concept of copy trading has been around
for a while, starting from signal groups
on social media platforms like Telegram
and Facebook but as the technology has
evolved so has the ecosystem around copy
trading.
Parrot Tools hopes to bridge the gap between
experienced/skilled traders and amateurs
of the ecosystem with its copy trading
feature. Users of the platform will be
able to pay a subscription fee to access
trades that these profitable traders make.
The platform also aims to give seasoned
NFT traders an “easy” way to generate passive
income while allowing new entrants to
profit from these trades. Of the fees that
subscribers pay, 80% will be going to the
traders and 20% to the project. They hope
to attract profitable traders with this attractive
rev share model. Their platform
is purely algorithmic in terms of who gets
to be a trader based on wallet activity,
where they are looking for traders who
SHILL Issue #66
11

have been consistently making profitable
trades over a significant enough period of
time. All traders will remain anonymous
even after selection.
A question that arises is the fact that
not all NFTs in a collection have an equal
market value. Rarer NFTs naturally go for
more. Another issue with copy trading in
NFTs that arises is that these NFTs are
usually illiquid in nature which raises
the question of orchestrating pumps and
dumps by these traders. However, the team
has considered this and will be taking a
number of steps to disincentivize this
practice through badges performance indicators
and allowing the Traders to communicate
with their subscribers.
The copy trading platform will feature a
number of traders while the users of the
platform can choose to subscribe to them
based on the capital they have and the
average timeframe of the traders' trades.
So for example if you only have 10 sol
to trade with, the data from traders who
make 100–200 sol trades won’t benefit you,
therefore you can subscribe to traders
who make 5–10 sol trades so you can still
benefit from copy trading.
The team is fully and publicly doxxed and
claims to have worked with multiple VC
firms in the past. They claim to be easily
able to raise the money through VCs if
they want to, but they want to use their
client base to raise the money as it will
be more helpful if their clients are the
ones who shape the product through their
user feedback and help the product evolve
more efficiently.
Minters of the NFT will benefit from a
number of perks including early access to
the platform and all its new features and
products, free subscription to a number
of traders, and access to premium features.
The team still has to make decisions
on profit sharing about whether and
how it will be done.
TLDR;
Parrot tools is releasing a copy trading
platform that will allow subscribers to
copy NFT trades from seasoned and profitable
traders, while allowing the traders
to benefit from passive income. The team
has previously built multiple successful
startups that have raised capital from
well known venture funds. The project is
setting out to do something that has not
been done in the NFT space before and
therefore it could also fail due to issues
related to the illiquid nature of NFTs and
rarity.
Gothic Degens announce Season 1:
The Crusade
Gothic Degens announce the next step of

projects in the space like DeGods and Taiyo
Robotics.
Its next step will be another collaborative
venture, where their derivative artworks

projects will not only have artistic
value but could also have utilities like
accessing certain dApps.
Not much else is known but based on the
teaser art, the community believes Stoned
Ape Crew and Primates will be next up to
receive collaborative artworks.
Jikan prepping for project revamp
After underperforming from their hyped
launch, Jikan studios have since engaged
in conversations with DeGods Frank, and
are taking his advice to revamp the project.
SolSwipe — Solana’s First Ever
Debit Card
SolSwipe is an NFT project looking to
launch the first-ever debit card on Solana.
The team has been working with debit
card partners since 2018, with a prototype
already live on MetaMask and BSC.
However, the public launch will be on SOL
through NFTs so the team can build and
grow a community. The card will be powered
by Visa, and users can cash out their
NFTs, shop online, and use ATMs worldwide
with a swipe.
The team promises a decentralised twist,
where assets are stored in the user’s
crypto wallet rather than in a bank account.
However, there will be a separate,
Sol Swipe wallet. This wallet should only
be loaded with the amount the user is
willing to use for a transaction. KYC will
be required as well, but this will only be
relevant and stored with the issuing bank
due to compliance procedures.
The bank partner has a full crypto exchange
license and a payments license issued
by the government. Hence, as long as
KYC is submitted, a user can legally use
SolSwipe anywhere in the world with VI-
SA-enabled POS machines and ATMs.
The mint will be on August at .88 SOL with
a 5888 Supply. Anyone can get a debit
card, but NFT Holders will receive rewards
in the form of rebates and special
discounts on loading fees.
In a discord announcement today, they announced
plans to revamp the art, rebuild
their team and community, repurpose their
native utility token $TROOP, and “capitalization
of ‘The Studios’”.
Price action wise, not much has improved
since the announcement, as many are waiting
to see what the revamped Jikan can and
will deliver.

@subaruimpreza09
We are seeing a lot more upcoming projects that are utilizing Web3/NFTs to deliver real consumer products (new
meta alert???) These projects look and act more like real business than your typical “community-driven” projects
Why is this shift happening?
Prompted by the inevitable movement towards lowering fees and royalties, projects will need to rely on other
revenue streams. This is possible if you have an actual product or service that is used by people (ideally both
inside and outside your community)
The decrease in royalties will drive mint prices higher since more funds are needed upfront. This will make investors
more choosy about what they mint. Projects will have to prove themselves as worthy. They will need transparency
and achievable, thought-out plans
I think this shift is good and something the space was bound to experience as it matured. The fact that this is
happening in a bear market is not surprising. Projects must stand out in terms of quality to even get off the
ground
Here are some upcoming/new projects that are hopping on the train as legitimate businesses
@SolNetRunner (minted 8 July): building a tax reporting dApp and portfolio tracker with referrals/rev share
Founder @Meat_netrunner posted a thread about the royalty debate and relying on other revenue streams as a
project.
Netrunner @SolNetRunner
We commend @YawwwNFT for being innovative & providing additional utilites for NFT owners in this ecosystem.
My (@Meat_netrunner) thoughts about the first democratized NFT Marketplace
@CrowdsurfNFT (pre-mint): building a pledge portal (investors make non-binding pledges) and a reporting hub
(creators give investment reports)
@blxckout_nft (mint 17 July): bringing public sector datasets
onto SOL to meet demand and expand functionality
for dApps
24
SHILL Issue #66

@rakkudos (pre-mint): the pfp side of @shakudo_io, a company that provides streamlined data tools and services
@frootsnft (pre-mint): launching an online fruit/smoothie brand with rev share for holders
I am proud that this shift is one of the things that has come out of a bear market. We are pushing boundaries
together as a space in SOL and these projects are setting the scene. Many projects like these will have first mover
advantage, and big gains can be made
This type of project often requires long-term holds. Though projects can attract hype, it takes time to build a
product with a sustainable revenue stream. Will this also contribute to an increasingly mature investor audience?
We can only hope.
Thanks for reading! This thread is inspired by a conversation I had in @LitecoinYagami’s Content Army -- thanks to
all who participated.

Thoughts
from the
I think everyone’s pretty much all tired out
of the royalty conversation, but I’ll use it to
leapfrog into the topic I really want to touch
on: innovation. It’s such a buzzword, not only
in NFT’s but across all aspects of tech, business,
and culture, but it’s not so easy to pinpoint exactly
what it is. Usually, it gathers the context of being
‘new’ and ‘fresh’ and ‘exciting’, but to me those
adjectives are all applied retroactively to the things
we decide are innovative, and it’s almost like
putting the cart before the horse. Innovation can
also be frowned upon, rejected, cast aside with the
bathwater for being too different than the norm.
There’s no one model on how to innovate, or else
everything would be innovative, and therefore, not
innovative at all!
Nicolaus Copernicus, a well-renowned
mathematician and scholar of his time, proposed
in 1543 that the Earth wasn’t in the center of the
universe — it was the Sun. This was not only
groundbreaking but highly controversial, and while
his work would eventually lay the foundation for
modern planetary astrology, the Church would
not recognize this for centuries after his proposal.
Even though he wasn’t fully correct, it was that
innovative mindset which would propel him into
being a household name, five centuries later, in a
world in which he surely would have been unable
to comprehend.
Being innovative doesn’t always mean that
you’re immediately recognized, or that you’re well
received, or even that you’re in the right. Being
innovative is doing something different from the
status quo, no matter what the current zeitgeist
follows, and it’s brave to do so, because there’s
no guarantee you’ll see the fruits of your labor. But
it’s important to do so, because there’s no way
for us as a society to eventually stumble upon the
truth until we’ve exhausted all means of getting
there. Here at the Secret Sphinx Society, we’re
looking at the beaten path and diving headfirst
40
SHILL Issue #66

than enough for me to consider that I’ve done
something worthwhile.
So — don’t try to be innovative. Try to be unique,
to create something no one else is brave enough
to attempt, to never settle for something that’s
already been done before (looking at you, Staking
+ Raffles!), and if you happen to find the sweet
spot, you’re pretty much guaranteed to make it.
And if you fail, you never know when the meta will
put you back in the spotlight again.
into the road less traveled, no matter where it
takes us, because we’re committed to doing things
differently than everyone else (and it’s kind of
fun, too!). As it turns out, most of the things we’ve
done have eventually become highly relevant,
and whether they become the most-talked-about
thing of the month, we’ll still keep doing them,
because widespread recognition isn’t what we’re
here for. Personally, I want to be inspiring for
creators, owners, and risk-takers, and hopefully
this article is the start of a series of articles that
makes at least one of you go: Hmm, I think I can
do something different, too, and that’ll be more

@DegenTownNFT from a different angle and expressing my ethical concerns with how @MagicEden
has behaved regarding this project and how those behaviours are at odds with their stated values.
Let’s review. ME announced a degen mint and spent several weeks aggressively marketing it. The
vigour with which ME promoted it and the project’s deliberate choice of colours that matched ME brand
gave the illusion that this project was ME owned or heavily supported.
People bought this project (that had zero information or roadmap) on this basis and Discord and Twitter
was filled with conversations along these lines. Those who tried to clarify any misunderstanding were
met with silence.
42
SHILL Issue #66

A handful of people called out the issues with this mint including @HGESOL. Judging by his deleted
post, someone at ME reached out to HGE to address it in private but the only public response from ME
has been to say they are ‘reflecting, more to come’. More never came.
SHILL Issue #66
43

Has anyone ever been in a toxic relationship
where you give feedback and the response (to
shut you up) is that they will reflect on it, and
continue the conversation later, but they never
come back to you to address the issue again and
you don’t see any change? Sounds familiar...
Rather predictably with their single point of contact
being Twitter, and no roadmap, DegenTown
has been beset with issues and a lot of people
have lost funds which has drained further liquidity
from the ecosystem in the middle of a prolonged
bear market and damaged confidence.
ME will tell you “DYOR”. (What was there to research
here?) ME will tell you “Buyer beware”. ME
will tell you don’t rush to click links. Then ME will
turn around and promote this project with no details,
no roadmap, warning signs everywhere and
collect a handy 4000+ SOL.
ME will make a song and dance about values of
being FOR the community and the ecosystem and
in a lot of fantastic ways they are. I love how they
ship so aggressively and their level of engagement.
BUT we shouldn’t give them a pass for this
toxic, ill-considered behaviour.
ME are still young. They have and will continue
to have growing pains as their staff numbers
explode, and these staff will make mistakes (in
amongst other good work) because - being real
- with growth like this, things could be chaotic
inside ME from time to time.
Likely, the decision to launch this was taken by
someone in Bus Dev rather than someone at the
top who leads setting of values at ME. I had a
good 15-minute chat with @0xLeoInRio in NYC
and left with an appreciation for both his passion
and openness to discuss difficult topics.
I will eat all the hats I own if ME aren’t here to
stay so I write this as constructive feedback to
add to those who have also voiced theirs. My
voice is small but it’s all I have so I will use it. I
hope we see a meaningful response when ME is
done ‘reflecting’.

now? Time for a on why you should consider Return to Monke.
But 1st- this is not a paid tweet. I own my own bags and directly benefit from number go up. I trade around my
positions and can sell at any time. All my info is for entertainment purposes only. This is NFA. You should NOT
take investment advice on twitter. I am a Pengu online.
I size my trades based on my portfolio and risk tolerance. Do not copy pasta. You shouldn’t invest more than you
can afford to lose. I am often wrong and will be again. We’re in a bear market, the key is to survive. No FOMO,
make risk adjusted bets and capital preservation.

Even turning some of the toughest and most vocal past critics, have taken note of @MonkeDAO enduring leadership
and communities in our Solana ecosystems. Here is @Bardstocks in March vs July. Respect for those who can
take in new information and change their mind. Shows growth.

Hard not to when leaders of @MonkeDAO continue to push forward our space. Here is just today with @theonlynom
@MetaMacD_Monke and @notjohnlestudio in DC talking to policymakers about global impact of NFTs.

Had an incredible day talking to policymakers about the real world impact of NFTs. Huge thank you to our hosts
in DC and a shoutout to the builders who told their stories. You made today special. @TheOnlyNom @johnlestudio

I was monitoring the Crypto punks as they have sparked past NFT runs and sales bot go brrr. I contemplated buying
when they hit $50K USD but I chose poverty instead. This was earlier in the month...

Punks are flying. 60 sales in the last 24 hours. #Cryptopunks
Then again this past weekend, the sales bot continued to go brrr... Another ~60 sales and including a couple million
dollar sales for Crypto Punks.

CryptoPunks prices are popping again, with the floor back over $100K for the first time in two months—and
closing the gap with Bored Apes. Follows a pair of multi-million-dollar Punks sales last week. story for @decryptmedia:

Maybe SMBs will be the Punks of Solana. Maybe. What is clear is that it demonstrates that IF the future are low
to no royalties for NFTs, that it does not erode the ability to be one of the top assets/communities. You don’t
need a revenue stream to create asymmetric (BIG) upside.
Value is GREAT. SOL value has held steady (remarkable strength), USD value is now sub $10K FP. This is below
the levels of start of Sep before massive run up. If you’re bullish SOL, SMB is a great potential lev. long for USD
return. Calling likely bottom in USD value.

There are risks/questions ahead:
1) Financing of SMB buyout is unclear.
2) DAO vs Executive leadership structure for combined
3) Revenue/Royalty Light model 4) $MONKE (bearish but agreed to sit w/ @MouriCye w/ open mind to discuss
further)
If these are solved well, GO TIME!
TLDR:
1. @MonkeDAOhome of builders, leaders and artists
2. @solanambs aspirational PFP
3. Winning over critics w/ consistency
4. Punk blue chip runnings => SMB next
5. Lev Solana long
6. USD value likely bottom
7. Risks but solvable w/ upside
8. naked 1 att are the best

Why am I bullish on @TheSphynxUS? It all started with the mystery. The reward was 350 SOL so we were all
hyped to find the solution, but it wasn’t easy... So we started to collaborate in the #Explorer chat. For many days
we tried to solve it, but nothing seemed to work...
We were even sending NFTs between us! Until finally, @Ser_Baps found the key. Heroically, he used the prize to
sweep the floor and share the NFTs with all of us. Something was special about this project. Something was being
forged. Our community started to build...
So, it’s clear we have a strong community. We’re all trying to give our best and help each other out during this
challenging market. Some examples are our @sphynxKatanaDAO, doing their own raffles and art contest. Or @
Your__Cousin, who already hosted 4 community spaces!
108
SHILL Issue #66

Let’s talk about the project. The art speaks for itself - @roogomes is such a talented artist! There are a ton of
traits, carefully designed and well-integrated with our lore, which is built around our mysteries - making every
trait potentially valuable!
It doesn’t stop there! We’ll have a wardrobe that will accept our token, $NYAW, to buy special limited traits, like

collaborations with other projects/brands, to upgrade our NFTs and sell on the secondary market. We’ve also
produced a song! https://youtube.com/watch?v=_UpLHVTV9b8&ab_channel=SphynxUndergroundSociety…
Our team even has a deal with a top brand (https://instagram.com/skull_official/), which is creating some
high-quality custom jewelry for us to purchase with $NYAW. Soon. they’ll also airdrop passports, so we can upgrade
our Sphynx into explorers - and other surprise uses in the future!
Staking is already up, and more uses for $NYAW are on their way! The next mystery is about to be released, too...
this is gonna be fun. The team is also constantly building and willing to hear us. They’re always receptive of feedback
and the community’s thoughts.

It’s a hard time, the market is suffering. But like @frankdegods showed us, during these hard times is when
strong projects build and surge. https://twitter.com/frankdegods/status/1549370280786595840… We’ll do our
best to make it - together!

I remember when we were 3 months into DeGods and the floor was ~4.3 SOL. The Discord was dying out & people
really lost faith in us after some degen mints flipped us.
Oh! I almost forgot - we have @Dr_Sphynx on our side, so nothing can go wrong!

@r0b0sapiens
By the request of @thugDAO I’m writing this about my journey in Solana NFTs, a journey closely related to @
thugbirdz and caw culture.
I entered the world of NFTs at the beginning of September 21 while I was trying to mine @SolamandersNFT.
Thank goodness I didn’t succeed, but the money invested in SOL and the growing bag gave me some ideas.
I realised that if NFTs are art, then poetry, an important branch of art and culture, is not represented at all. So I
programmed the first collection of generative poems published on @DigitalEyesNFT with the help of @jemmmyjemm
and @A2KDeFi.
The collection was as successful as my knowledge at the time. I sold about 10 pieces, among the buyers was the
owner of diamond.sol domain. (I would later find out that the domain belonged to @StephenCurry30).
I still remember the day @0x_thug saw NFTPoetry put as background under a thugbird and wrote me that he
wants something similar. I happily sent him an NFTPoetry and... he sent me back a thugbird. Which I still have
today and which I will never sell (ok, wen FP 500 who knows).
134
SHILL Issue #66

By mistake I sent an NFTPoetry to a Binance address (well those were the days) and I was sorry to see that poem
in the 100 series disappear, so I turned it into a “Phoenix NFT” and minted it again. If I remember correctly, that
NFT was bought by @0xCelon.
SHILL Issue #66
135

The skull I placed over that “Phoenix NFT” gave me an idea and I created the MF DOOM mask, the first accessory
for @thugbirdz. Subsequently MF DOOM’s mask became an attribute used in several collections, becoming part
of the Solana culture.
As one thing leads to another, from MF DOOM mask I created @PimpMyThug420, the first Solana accessory
collection created for another collection. I have hand-pimped over 200 thugbirdz and made many friends in this
space.
At @0x1dad’s suggestion I created the first series of CAW-CAW banners. I minted 50 pieces and sent them to the
first 50 people who wanted them on a first come, first served basis. GOOD VIBES ONLY, remember?!
136
SHILL Issue #66

At some point 0xthug sends me a DM asking if I can make a 1/1 for none other than @wakaflokka. Full of excitement
I gave it my best shot and did just that:
@TM88 @wizkhalifa @youngthug
@1GunnaGunna
@SonnyDigital
Here mentioning only those artworks that became PFPs of the above mentioned stars.

We’ve covered a few kings of the space but it’s time to shine light on a Queen here on Solana Who better than
to kick off with @BU___UB, the mother and founder of @The_URS_and @MinistryArt Its time for my Solana
Spotlight!
Heard her speak before on the @solBOOGLE podcast. She’s a strong advocate for artists, extremely articulate
and resilient and driven w/ @The_URS_to make what it is today. It’s clear she isn’t a tourist. She’ll be an ongoing
force in 1:1s.
148
SHILL Issue #66

Her reputation stands as a positive force as Motherly Queen and vouch that it translates same in person. You can
spot her chaotic good title from @Iamamystreet’s infographic. Nice balance to the lawful evil in our ecosystem w/
@meltytanti and @vohii

No surprise she is also the subject matter of 1:1 art as well. Here is a beautiful piece done by @wetikos that was
recently acquired by @_ledao
Lately, it’s hard to go anywhere in the space and not take notice. @bu__ub also helped kick off the new Space
“Malbec w/ MooMoo” as the first guest. Great to listen to two amazing people and energy in the space.
Funny part of the @Papa_MooMoo and @BU___UB is their first meeting IRL together at NFT NYC. Papa was
glowing over the comment that @BU___UB made over his nice skin. She has that effect of uplifting people in the
space. What draws people into her.
While I pumped up @BU___UB, don’t be intimidated. Part of why she’s such a positive person is her accessibility.
She eats edibles, naps and buys 1:1 art just like the rest of us.
Looking forward to the day we are able to collab together and have her Inside the Igloo w/ @PenguloveNFT.
Would make for a good workshop for community of artists and collectors to benefit from. No pressure Invitation
open! Solana Space is lucky to have @BU___UB with us!
