Extremely honored and truly happy to be part of the 4+ year journey with @0xAlphaGEMs 💜 As the founder of @9FStudioArt , creating art for the GEMs family and seeing everyone still so united, still supporting each other through all the crypto storms… it really warms my heart. Thank you @CrypSaf , the team and every single GEM Boss for trusting and believing in 9F 🙏 GEMs forever on top! 💎💜
A message for our GEM Bosses & long-time contributors 💜 There’s a reason @0xAlphaGEMs is still here after 4+ years 💎 Many of you showed up for us in ways you didn’t have to. You put your name, your reach, and your reputation behind the community. WLs shared. Solid advice. Intros and connections made without us ever needing to ask. (Some of the most meaningful contributions never happened in public) So we put together a banner with each of you in it. Small gesture, but it means something permanent. You’re part of GEMs’ history, GEMs love you 💜 We support you 💜 Appreciate you grinding with us 💜 Much respect 💜 SafZ, GEMs Team & Community 💎

In a market where most NFT projects disappeared, Penguin chose discipline and focus Proud that 9F is still working with such an incredible team
We’re proud to have contributed part of the media content for Pengu Asia throughout 2025. Working with such an iconic project has always been a great honor for 9FStudio. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the tremendous efforts from the Penguin team. Special thanks to @AaronTeng and @FoxyPenguinApe for trusting us.

When im clear minded, i work When im lost, i read When im angry, i sleep or watch tv When im happy, i meet people When im sad, i sit alone in my room When i don’t know what to do, i do nothing I trust myself I trust people I trust how the universe works What’s not supposed to happen won’t happen And what’s meant to happen always finds its way No matter how dramatic the story feels, it usually starts in my own head

This guy truly understands what people are thinking
In the bear most are going to try to expand away from crypto. They're going to start making broader more general content. If you really want to dominate in crypto, this is the perfect opportunity to go all-in and double down on that niche. It'll be a land grab opportunity.

Crypto is worse than a divorce In a divorce, you lose 50% of your assets but you don’t have a wife anymore In 2025, crypto drops 50%… and your wife is still there

It could be because they are too strong and don't consider you a competitor
If your competitor is taking time off this holiday, you don’t have to worry about them being your competitor.
