Many new folks becoming #pengus these days. Happy to see you finally come around. Took you quite a while but very happy to have you with us🐧

Thing is: Many of you merely adopted the pengu. I was born in it, molded by it.

Only the true OGs remember that I used to be a penguin @pudgypenguins – the first good looking penguin NFTs and the first penguin NTF project to mint out –, or @PenguinFightNFT – the first penguin NFT projects with a twitter – or party penguins (commonly referred to as Walmart penguins) – the first penguin NFT project to START their mint – existed.

To date my location is still set to "Antarctica" since those early days (X marks the spot - IYKYK) and I used various anime penguin girls as PFPs, most prominently the one shown below (fun fact the artist of this very piece actually released it as a NFT on some tiny Asian art site and I managed to track it down and buy it).

As such @pudgypenguins were never merely a trade or a flip for me. I've been calling for "pengu" NFTs before they existed – because I got fascinated by NFTs since 2018, really believed that CUTE penguins – due to being widely adored by most people (except a certain evil korean bot – IYKYK) – are the best interpretation of the animal PFP meta, and simply wanted them because I PERSONALLY love them. In doing so, I have also coined the terms "pengu" and "pengufication" in NFT land.

Buying those cute lil pengus as soon as they began to slide onto the ETH blockchain in late July 2021 and holding a very large fraction of them to what are valuations of 400x and higher of my cost basis was not sheer luck, nor was it a ultra smart and calculated financially driven move. I simply LOVE penguins.

Without a true passion and interests for both components of what they are – cute penguins and a implementation of a technological construct I have been interested in since early 2018 – I don't think I would have held onto them with such dedication and conviction.

If you merely are here to chase financial gains, I do believe you will do quite well, but I doubt you will ever hit insane homerun trades without either passion, genuine interest, attachment to a community, or something alike.

Analogous to my penguin NFT buys in 2021, my BTC purchases in 2014 would have never happened without me being deeply involved in internet culture and tech and my genuine interest in what blockchains offered to facilitate. And I certainly would not have held those BTC all the way into the second peak of the 2021 cycle.

I am not a bad daytrader but I am certainly not insanely gifted at it either. But while many of you call being "in it for the tech", "in it for the community" or "in it for the art" a meme, these aspects are exactly where most of my biggest gains in crypto land stem from. It's also what made me stay in this space for what's about to be a decade and enjoy my entire journey through many bears and bulls w/o many real breaks.

Shoutout to all the frens I made along the way, all the degens hanging with me in GCs at ungodly hours, and all the lovely artists that produced stunning art pieces for me – i really cherish and appreciate you all.

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and early bull market! ❤️💕 Best of luck!

Greetings,
Bright Avian

P.S.: You knew the term "avian" is used to refer to birds or bird-like animals? Exactly what penguins are. It has always been hidden in plain sight! 🐧

Pons is on a mission to further cement itself as the top platform on Robinhood Chain for Stock Token pairs.

To do this, we're allocating capital so we can be the largest LPs of Stock Tokens.

Robinhood Chain will win, and Pons will lead the way

Fantastic article, one of the best I’ve ever read by a team building in crypto. I wish more teams dedicated so much effort to writing about what makes them exceptional. This is far more effective for aligning long term holders who will support you compared to the classic shitposting

Bitcoin bottom is in.

See you at ATH.

You cant stop this train.

who knows what chart this is? it looks very good to me

Maybe the penguin has been seeing the dawn before the rest of us. 🐧🌅

Now supplying liquidity to $MCD

The Pons Treasury is supplying liquidity to McDonald's Corp $MCD on Robinhood Chain to enable smooth trading for users.

More to come. Pons is the home of Memestocks on Robinhood Chain.

Putting the fries in the bag 🍟

I was told this only happens in crypto and not in stocks 🤣😭😭😭

WTF is that

Turns out @vladtenev most certainly wasn’t all talk for sure. In a single day we’ve seen more support for RH projects by official accounts than we did in weeks prior to the earnings event.

Vampire pools beware: URC-5 is live on Robinhood Chain and @Uniswap v4.

the spookiest chart? the one where you never invested

Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? 👑

Introducing the first 1/1.
Drop details soon.

Blessed is now live on Robinhood Chain.

For the first time in crypto, tokenized communities are acquiring a NASDAQ company.

Blessed is a new onchain mechanism to launch a community treasury and buy public companies together.

How it works:

1. Pick a public company under $30M a token to acquire it.

3. Buy in with USDG at 6–8% discount while the protocol buys the stock into the treasury, until the community owns 51%.

BREAKING:

🇺🇸 Fed announced no rate change.

What is 1 Predict Point actually worth?

I pulled every weekly PP distribution from @predictdotfun's points page and made an estimation

> 44 weeks paid out: 435.2M PP
> Week 45 still calculating
> ~445M PP for Season 1

> S1 airdrop: 70M $PREDICT (7%$PREDICTmarket: ~$1.37 = ~$1.37B FDV
> AP = 0.157 $PREDICT

> 12 month vest (100%): ~$0.22 per point
> Instant claim (35%): ~$0.075 per point

10K PP = ~$2,150 vested or ~$750 instant

What do you think about it?
Are you going for instant claim or risking waiting 12 months to get your full allocation?

A message to our core community:

Don’t be scared with what’s happening, it’s merely a blessing in disguise! ⏳

@ThePlooshies have been taking the needed steps for months to stop relying on @AbstractChain

Most of the infrastructure has already been converted to more friendly EVM settings in preparation for the @RobinhoodCrypto migration! ✅

Plooshie Island (the game), houses and apartments collections are SAFU.

No need to stress at all, everything will be managed so our precious beloved holders can migrate their assets in the easiest way possible! 🫶🏼

We’ve got a lot of heat lately for our announcement mentioning we were leaving Abstract for Robinhood. Many told us we were hoping from chain to chain - when now migrating from ABS to somewhere else is an absolute evidence and necessity for everybody.

We were just ahead of the curve and we don’t intend to stop! 🤝🏼

If you have any questions feel free to come in the Discord or DM us, nobody is left behind. 🫡

We keep Plooshing! 🔥

The wait is over. @ThePlooshies are coming to Robinhood Chain. 🎬

The official Plooshie Island trailer. Real in-game footage, full 4K.

Rebuilt by hand, texture by texture.

This is only the surface...

We keep Plooshing. 🤝 @RobinhoodCrypto
