Yeh, NFTs are dead, but why I have conviction to buy early projects for long term holding: a smol thread....

So much for decentralization

@thugDAO has been running a validator since 2021 and running a testnet validator for the benefit of @solana since 2022. We have been running it through both bear markets losing money but continued to support solana. It's in poor taste of the @SolanaFndn to retire us with no reasons or information why. Seems they do really only want the large validators to succeed.

We aren't talking about @thugbirdz enough..... Just saying

Just picked up those legendary THUG BIRDZ 🐦 There is no more nostalgic collection than @thugbirdz on solami blockchain These collectibles are a piece of history deep embedded in NFT culture. I was there. I was priced out. Now i'm in. CAW CAW @thugDAO @dazednft

Hope

Funny thing is @McDonalds aint even hiring anymore. Just a couple kitchen staff AI is all a store needs.

Curious if @solana @toly cares about legacy validators? @thugbirdz has been operating since end of 2021 and I am noticing many legacy validators are shutting down. What can we do to continue the spirit of decentralization or does no one care anymore?

1/ @thugbirdz works because bird imagery already comes with a built-in soundtrack: menace, hustle, elegance, romance, omen. A bird is never just a bird. In music, it is a whole worldview. #NFT #Solana #Thugbirdz : Let's see that!

@thugbirdz the only ones that kept it 💯on @solana all community.

Picked up this Alien Thugbirdz by @thugbirdz this morning @MagicEden. This is the time to scoop up "blue chip" NFTs hammered by indiscriminate selling. The bottom is in, and IMO the risk reward ratio strongly points to a fucking bottom. LFG Birdz!!

"Blast to the Past" with my new Spotted Thugbirdz by @thugbirdz. This time, three years ago, I had a similar Thugbirdz as my PFP. These iconic Birdz are the "cryptopunks" of Solana.

Some 2021 projects I'm bullish on... @kreechures @SolariansNFT @SolPunksFamily @SolanaMBS @DegenApeAcademy @thugbirdz @AuroryProject @GalacticGeckoSG @mmccsolana @CyberFrogsNFT @FamousFoxFed @DeGodsNFT @MatricaLabs @SolSlugsNFT @TaiyoRobotics @_portals_ @orca_so @MavrixSOL
