Zach isn't being paid to FUD, and Zach has been a great dude in this space. with that being said, I just don't understand this take from him. People were willing to pay an undoxxed team on a privacy chain. everyone should have known the risks involved. what's the issue?
Yet another generic 10K PFP NFT collection extracting 8 figs and retiring the team on a different chain with zero utility. $17M raised + 10% team allocation + 5% royalty +$2K mint Has to be the work of Ordinals grifters since few ecosystem builders were promoting it….

I think the concern is that we (the space) consistently give up 8 figures to undoxxed devs and security professionals like Zach and long term builders have trouble raising even 6 figures to fund their efforts

I know this feeling all too well...kongz contributed in major ways to the space, never VC raised, and could never haul in 8 figures...that being said, it is what it is. no idea why it's extracting if there are willing participants.

do you honestly think influencers didnt know the team? They always claim to only handle with doxxed founders its on their x as well. So of course they knew. If its the same team that has a dead project in ordinals and they come in now to just extract? I'm completely on zach's take.

The issue here is simple. Some people were left sidelined.

His concern is that there’s “no utility” tied to it Find it hard to take his claim seriously since it’s a pfp collection lmao

It is about not supporting extractors just to make a few bucks on your own.
Do you seriously think a brand new NFT project is worth more than one that’s spent four or five years building a real moat? The market might price it that way for a few days or weeks, but that doesn’t make it true We see the same cycle constantly Mass hype, endless shilling, a scramble to mint, the reveal, then a couple of weeks later everyone has moved on to the next new thing It’s been happening for years Most new projects eventually join the tens of thousands that are forgotten and trend towards zero Sometimes the founders are scammers who understand the cycle and use it to extract as much money as possible Often they start with genuine intentions but get rugged by the process I don’t think this will ever change Excitement, speculation and gambling are part of what makes NFTs what they are The mistake is confusing short term attention with real value When you’ve been part of an OG project and lived through multiple cycles and metas, you understand the game and become fairly immune to it all No individual project can fix the wider market All you can do is turn up every day, stay relevant, create good work, build your own identity and make what you’re building more valuable over time Time is the greatest filter in NFTs Anyway, what are we minting today? 🙉

so who defines what an extractor is? these terms are used so loosely. if there is a supply and a demand of willing participants, who cares? it's like bitching at the NFL for selling tickets at high prices when there are plenty of willing fans that will pay.
