Am I net negative right now?
- Yes.
Did the Mac generate money yet?
- Not measurable yet.
Did it make me feel like I control the future?
- eh, maybe later, let's see
End-of-month update coming.
If revenue > burn β genius
If burn > revenue β I am cooked
Either way, we building ... (I guess)
Getting into @0xAlphaGEMs right now is statistically 3x harder than getting into Harvard.
There are still 2.5 days left on the Round 1 clock, and the GemVault leaderboard already sits at 854 applications for just 10 spots.
At ~900 applicants by the time the door closes, that is a 1.1% acceptance rate:
- Harvard: 3.6%
- Stanford: 3.9%
- Y Combinator: 1.1%
- AlphaGEMs: ~1.1%
Wild to see @CrypSaf and the team command Ivy League acceptance odds for a 10-seat community round.
WOW THIS IS CRAZY
The AI sounds really scary
The next chapter with AI is gonna be wild ...
It's the GEM review day π
- 3 Temps earned their GEM β
- 2 new Temps from Rock and Guests πͺ¨
- A few got kicked β
Honorary GEM update π
Long overdue for two amazing pixel artists π¨
- @Natt_369_ made so much GEMs art, always active, always giving back π
- @blurnplay made a ton of personal gifs and art for GEMs, always active, always giving back π
- And our Rock @0xnag1 is finally free after bullying him for 15 days π
Much love to both π€π€

Honorary GEM update π
@AGGTORNADO best yapper in our VC, X gem poster, and the most annoying guy in here ππ
@Abdxbt has been in GEMs since 2022, long overdue. Helping GEMs forever, good alpha, good support. Well deserved π
Much love to both π€π€
Explanation:
- Someone sent me this Voice note in dms
- I have no clue who this person is, but it was funny to hear
- And no, we don't invite people cuz they say "love you safaj" π

Donβt kiss my ass
This applies to every KOL, creator, and founder:
Nice posts and supportive words are appreciated, but they donβt make you valuable or different.
βOh, but Iβve been engaging with you for a monthβ
Okay... and?
We appreciate the love, but weβve passed that stage (to some people)
The higher you want to rank, the more value you need to prove.
Figure out what people actually want:
Alpha?
WL?
Intros?
Content?
Conviction in something?
Holding?
Nudes?
Tools?
Bring something that moves the needle.
Attention gets you noticed.
Value makes you undeniable and gets things.
No disrespect, just level up π

Had a great call with @CrypSaf this morning.
Always good to learn from people who are great at what they do.
Abstract winding down was a miss, but happy to see quality projects migrating or relaunching on other chains π
1. @onchainheroes by @Skarly
Now building @yieldfields_rh on Robinhood Chain
> Congrats on the solid reveal! π
2. @gigaverse by @0xDith
Now @GigaLegendsLTD on ETH mainnet
3. @hamieverse by @MateenMohammed_
> Migrated to ETH β
> Had a 2-hour call with Mateen yesterday; looking forward to the next steps. They are cooking something here π§βπ³π₯
4. @TollanUniverse by @im_mkx
> Top 4 in lifetime upvotes on Abstract
> Had a call with Michael today (good alpha coming here; keep an eye π)
We need more quality projects & founders like this.
Abstract didn't deserve you, and we're looking forward to your success on other chains π
Excited for what's coming next!
NFTS are here to stay π«‘

The motion of @0xAlphaGEMs needs to be studied
12k posts in a day after the applications are open
I joined few months ago and every day is a win there
Did you apply or are you already in?
Have you ever seen people get this hyped just to apply for a Web3 community?
If not, look at @0xAlphaGEMs right now.
Over 13,100 posts in 3 days and trending on X's Today's News, all for a Round 1 application where only 10 people make it into the cave.
You cannot fake that kind of organic demand. It comes from years of @CrypSaf and the members keeping the bar high and building real tools like GemVault behind the scenes.
I put my own application in earlier this week for that exact reason. Good communities in this space are rare, and the timeline clearly knows it.

fortune Foes reminder of why you should never blindly trust NFT founders in Web3.
> Suddenly changed the supply and auction rules mid-auction.
> Refused refunds despite requests from many participants.
> Went silent after the auction.
> @0xAlphaGEMs , one of the largest NFT communities, allegedly got rugged for 5.5 ETH alone.
W R U @0xPooria
The craziest part? He literally doxxed himself and had meetings with all the community teams.
Not every NFT project is going to succeed...
Only around 5% turn out to be real gems.
The rest usually end up like 0.
ZTH:
Presale: 0.014 ETH
Mint: 0.018 ETH
Current floor: 0.008 ETH
> supply was cut from 8,000 to 4,000.
Less than a week after launch, most holders are already down around 50%.
But what shocked me even more was the attitude of ZTH official account.
Mocking frustrated holders is not a good look.
People have every right to be upset when their investment gets cut in half overnight.
If you raised funds through a presale and genuinely believe in your long-term vision, shouldnβt you at least make an effort to defend the presale price?
If youβre so confident your NFTs will 10x, why not protect the people who believed in you from day one?
