the normies are dead. long live the normies.
the casuals will come back when they see the next wave of wealth generation
NFTs wiped them out and they came back from memecoins
memecoins wiped them out and they’ll come back for…
I tend to think the younger generation will latch onto the ability to be unbanked and earn yield
And that many will start transacting on stablecoin rails without evening knowing it
you're doing social media wrong
stop optimizing for reach and empty followers
start maximizing for high signal connections that can bloom if you nourish them
take the time to speak with your followers 1:1. they may become some of your closest friends
i'd rather play side stage at a festival with a bunch of diehards who know every lyric and are interested in the same things I am than main stage with a bunch of casuals who don't know the words and are just stopping by on their way to the next act
it took years but brands are figuring out business models fueled by fungible tokens and anchored by NFT communities
we collectively reset our expectations for why NFTs are valuable
and now communities want to see brand execution
attention and momentum are currency
a major congrats to @dee@jacob and the @zora team
not for the inevitable price action
but for the conviction to stay the course despite the noise
being comfortable being told you’re wrong by the market for long periods of time
lessons in there
A bit of bittersweet news to share
After 2.5 years I have left Doodles to pursue my own venture
It has truly been the privilege of my career to work alongside BT and the team to build the Doodles brand for this community
Doodles was, is, and will continue to be my web3 home. I am excited for this next chapter and to once again return to being a member of the Doodles community. I’ll be cheering on the team as the brand soars to new heights
As for me it’s time to engage founder mode
See you soon
With the announcement of DreamNet last week I wanted to take the opportunity to detail how it fits into Doodle's broader strategic vision. X article is linked below (will publish on paragraph as a frame soon). https://x.com/austin_hurwitz/status/1906715852168102194
