Big thank you to @lucanetz for hosting what ended up being one of the more productive days and industry workgroups I have been part of in this space in a long time, getting in a room with founders and industry leaders from some of the most important collections and platforms ever built in NFT history and honestly walking away more energized than I expected about where all of this is going. The room had Bored Ape Yacht Club, Lazy Lions, Pudgy Penguins, Kongz, Bearish, Quirkies, Doodles, Franky, HVTML, and others who helped shape the conversation, with MetaMask and OpenSea also in the building, and what made it special was not the names but the quality of what was actually being said in there. Nobody was performing, nobody was posturing, and nobody was leaning on wagmi energy to avoid the hard conversations. It was direct and diverse and honestly exactly what this space needs more of because everyone had real opinions and real passion for how NFTs move forward and nobody lost their cool over it. That is rarer than it should be and it deserves to be said out loud. Representing Lazy Lions in that room meant a lot to me personally because after taking over a premier 2021 collection the job has always been to show up for holders at the highest level and make sure their interests and their IP are being pushed for in the right rooms by the right people. Ownership Evolved is not just a product direction, it is something I genuinely believe in, and being around people wrestling with the same questions about what ownership should actually mean confirmed we are moving in the right direction. There is something that just hits different about finally shaking hands with people you have been sharing spaces with for years because the connections in this industry are real even when they only exist online, and getting to sit across from some of the people who helped build this space alongside us was something I will genuinely treasure. The industry has real problems and nobody in that room was pretending otherwise, but a group like this coming together, disagreeing openly, and still walking away pointed in the same direction is honestly the most bullish thing I have seen in a while. Lazy Lions was part of the conversation that helped shape NFTs in 2021 and we are going to be part of the conversation that shapes what comes next. Lions Lead.
