#8 - Oddities Drop, Silver Nests and the Community's reaction


Listen Later

It was a crazy event filled week. If you didn't witness it live, you missed a ton. So first we had oddities dropping on Wednesday. It was crazy what was happening with the floor, lots of activity, lots of people expecting, you know, I don't know what they were expecting.  Lots of high expectations when the drop came. Some people were a bit disappointed because rarity really seemed to be tied to your Moonbird. So the, the oddity spawned from the Moonbird.  the traits sort of transferred to it. It was very little new traits that were not part of the Moonbird that translated to the oddity.  So that means if you already own a rare moon bird, then you own a rare oddity. And I think that was the biggest disappointment from folks. The art was really cool. We have nothing bad to say about Gremplin, but, um, maybe a little shuffle in that rarity. Would've made it. Uh, a bit of a, an interesting, more reveal, but the reveal party was fun.  The call was fun. I think people, uh, enjoyed seeing some of their oddities and now we have more people joining the community that bought oddities that week that are now able to join the discord and participate in things that they couldn't before. So props to the team on that drop, they did say "if we had to do it all over again, we probably would do this as a surprise airdrop with an instant reveal. So think about that. That might be the future for, uh, what comes next. Now what else we had this week? We had the silver nest. Um, the only word I have to say is "Fanny packs"?  Apparently this was the talk of the town in NFT.NYC lots of people were looking for Fanny packs. I don't know. I wasn't there.  I really wish I was, but I wasn't there. Um, what comes out of this is apparel doesn't seem to be cutting it with everybody. I think some people really enjoy the fanny packs. We enjoy the choices the team made in terms of the company they're made by Cotopaxi really environmentally and sustainable organization.  But at the same time, um, we just kind remind folks that these are some really fun drops of some really cool merch that are happening along the way. So it was not an airdrop of a token. It was not another NFT. It was, it was apparel and it was merch. And I think that is serving the community a little bit to help people reset their expectations and understand that, Hey, we're in this for the long run.  If you don't understand what the biggest utility, I think the team has delivered to everyone is security.  So Saturday, July 23rd, we had a fake website that came out saying, Hey, go here. So you can burrow AKA nest, your oddity. There were tons of people that sadly thought that was a legit website and lost all of their NFTs in their wallet.  They got drained and that's something that we really need to go back and think. Like, what is the biggest benefit that we've gotten from the PROOF company? And it really has been security. It really has been the ability that a lot of people have not had their NFT drained because they're nesting the ability for people to feel, you know, more secure and just relaxed.  Uh, that's something that has tons of value and it continues helping the community. So if you forget, what's the biggest thing you got; not losing your NFT is probably one of the single. Benefits from this community. So that's it for this week. We're hopeful and looking to what's coming up ahead. Uh, December's gonna be crazy with Art basel in Miami.
