ITS TIME 🐧

Today marks one of the most historic days in Web3. The Pudgy Penguins re-order in Walmart is an industry defining moment for NFTs signaling that NFTs are here to stay and that the door to the masses is now open.

A day before I left to Asia I found out my first dog Luna had a brain tumor. I wanted to cancel my trip and be with her, but I knew the community was counting on me to be present for our Asia tour. Every part of me wanted to stay home, but I decided to stick to the schedule and honor my promise to our community in Asia. My biggest fear while I was away was the thought of her not making it through while I was gone. A couple of days ago she went into brain surgery and today I’m thankful to say she’s doing well. Her journey has only just begun so I please ask that you keep her in your prayers 🙏💙

BE THERE.

Can I get a “Pudgy Morning”?

Working on Solana has been nothing short of amazing. The culture behind the scenes is probably the most impressive part. There isn't a person in the solana ecosystem who refused to talk to me. From the community, to builders, to the Foundation, it really is a awesome experience.

The biggest memetic distribution channel in crypto. Pengu 🐧

Cardano in the strategic reserve is kinda… insane?

To every person who’s represented the Pudgy Penguin as their PFP, contributed to building around the IP, and to every member who’s helped create an ecosystem and culture that people are proud to be a part of, I just want to say thank you. The greatness of the Pudgy Penguin has been predestined since mint, and anybody with a knack for culture and community could see that. Yet, through every narrative possible, they tried to defeat us. Unfortunately for them, Penguins do not fold, and we do not falter. Our takeover was not a democratic process, but together, we turned our fate around. I believe a Web3 company is defined not by the technology it uses, but by the nature in which you build. I’ve been a strong advocate that to succeed, our team would have to be the muscle to the brain that is constructed around our NFT holders. It’s this hive-mind approach that has been the driving factor in our success and why I believe we are all responsible for where we are today. Today, the Pudgy Penguins brand is driven around a purpose that has been defined around solving 2 problems: Problem 1: Web3 has a serious branding/top of the funnel problem. Problem 2: Web3 has a extreme distribution problem. Today, I can say confidently, that we are leading the charge in solving these 2 issues and our success in solving these problems has inspired other projects to do the same. You may not see it today, but as I look into the future, I see this snowball effect changing our industry forever. The Pudgy Penguins' success is not just our success, it’s everyone who believes in Web3s success. Though the belief around the Penguin has never been stronger, it is important to realize that we are far from where we want to be. We must remain steadfast as we continue our mission to onboard the masses. The story we’re telling here is the thesis of Web3 personified, and though we’ve helped shepard this story, we are not responsible for it. You are. I am excited to end this year with some more amazing moments and show the world in 2024 what Penguins can really do.

Hire people who give a shit 💡

To the “insider” 😂😂 What part of I support the people who support me do you not understand?

BIG collabs coming out of @pudgypenguins all Q4. Cryptos mascot keeps proliferating 🐧

The door to mainstream adoption is now wide open 🐧🫡

When we raised our seed round, I pitched to hundreds of VCs and 99% of them turned me away. Today, we are doing everything I told them I would do. Believe me when I say, Pudgy Penguins will be the face of NFTs and Web3. It’s not if, it’s when.

For the people by the people, soon everyone will see the power of millions of holders aligned under the Pengu banner. This is how you become a cultural phenomenon. 💡

Every Pudgy Penguin collectible has an RFID chip in its belly. When scanned, it transfers an NFT directly into your wallet. If you ever sell the collectible or give it to someone else, the NFT will automatically transfer from your wallet to theirs once they scan the belly. This solves a huge problem with authenticating collectible goods.

This is a terrible take. In the below thread I will explain to you why this thought process is fundamentally wrong and why this take is incredibly bad 👇

Part of winning in crypto is being a cockroach. You just have to survive.

Tomorrow I start my streaming career 😭😂

Correct. I’m deploying all of my ETH into NFTs these next couple of weeks to help play my part. There’s no world where holding the right NFTs don’t outperform just holding ETH.

About to give a @TEDTalks and spread the pengu vision 🐧 🫡

The face of crypto. @pudgypenguins 🤝 @coinbase

Oh Beanie, where do I start…. Let’s debunk this a couple different ways. First let’s look at what you’ve championed in the past start with WG and PV. Isn’t what would make those projects successful the influx of millions of users? Isn’t PV supposed to be Web3s marvel? At least that’s what you told us. Want to know what’s all over the shelves of Walmart? Marvel… Isn’t WG supposed to be Web3s Robolox but better? Want to know where Roblox sells a majority of its merchandise? Walmart.. What about magic the gathering? Didn’t they have a card that just sold for $2m? Where are those cards being sold?? Walmart…. Luxury and accessible can co-exist. Have you heard of Pokémon? Have you heard of Murakami? Have you heard of Nike? These are just a few but I can go on and on. Saying high end brands can’t live in Walmart is also a fallacy. Panini, Apple, marvel, Pokémon, and more all sell there. Walmart is all about accessibility. Want to know what Web3 needs to grow? Accessibility.. For the sake of Web3, what about nouns? A $30,000 PFP that has products available for a couple bucks in the form of paper glasses. Want to know what the nouns community understands? Proliferation is everything.. The biggest lie this space has seen in the PFP industry is the idea of luxury. The only place luxury lives in NFTs will be in art and cryptopunks. Anyone believing that their PFPs are luxury items is lost in translation. PFPs are the back bones of digital identities and communities. Want to know what being in Walmart does for holders? It expands the community. Being a first edition collector in an ever growing community gives you status. Want to know the best utility luxury items give? It’s status.. Want to know what has destroyed all of your beloved “luxury PFPs”? It was the inability to make money that led them to create more NFTs and make money the “easy way”. This led them to diluting the core collection and segmenting liquidity. Regarding the top part - I appreciate the kind words - but you are discrediting how hard getting a pallet in 2,000 stores actually is. For context, a new brand doing that type of activation is unheard of.. anyone who knows CPG knows this. In short us being in walmart is a huge step up for the industry and our community, to summarize the value it brings is as follows: 1. It creates a growth pattern that isn’t at the expense of the core community but to its benefit 2. It proliferates the IP in thousands of homes making us a familiar and loved character - positioning us to be the most familiar brand in the industry - I believe this will work wonders for our community during a bull market 3. It gives the brand credibility and opens up the door for even more partnerships and collaborations 4. It creates a brand that holders can be proud about - in a space plagued with down bad holders - pudgy penguins can be proud that they are supporting innovation and risk taking (something this space needs more of) 5. It aligns our brand with some of the greatest in the industry - giving us credibility and familiarity 6. It counter attacks the stigma of NFTs being a scam - which if we don’t counter attack we will all lose 7. Because the toys unlock NFTs - it gets more people familiar with digitally collecting (we need more of that) 8. It creates a emotional attachment and bond that I believe is second to none in this space. For the first time, Web3 users and NFT aficionados have a product that their entire family can enjoy (we desperately needed this). I can keep going but would rather take this to a spaces if you want to continue. Surprised you are missing the obvious here.

Pudgy Penguins is now the most followed Web3 native brand on Instagram. 🐧🚀

The biggest narrative this cycle will be consumer crypto. You just don’t know it yet.

Don't underestimate the implications of the $PENGU watermark on all of the gifs. Give it 6 months before it clicks for everyone.

We’re excited for @opensea to be the official marketplace for Pudgy Penguins and $PENGU. Crypto’s most recognizable IP 🤝 crypto’s most recognizable marketplace

Holy Moly

👀

Everything now is a distribution game. Let the biggest funnels win.

The underdog story continues 🐧

The most bullish part of NFT Paris for me was sitting at a restaurant and the waiter noticing my pudgy penguins sweater and saying “you know pudgy” and then me replying “yes” and then him saying “I love them, I am big in the XRP army”. The vision has never been clearer.

Ok twitter I need your help settling something for me. I was doing a deal with someone and I had to pay him $100,000. I paid the $ but I sent $100,000 in ETH 4 weeks ago. He didn’t stable the $ and is insistent in sending me the ETH back now that the deal fell through.

Very few people have caught on to the fact that every skin you unlock in @PlayPudgyParty is tradable. I have a theory that if you played Pudgy Party full time you could make more than a minimum wage job. 💡

It was important to us that when we broke this barrier that we not only brought mass market exposure to Pudgy but to other Web3 native brands and IPs as well. Let me know which web3 brand and IP we should add to the Walmart trait boxes below👇

When everyone goes left, go right.
