ANNOUNCING ‘HOUSE OF 1000 BETTYS’ - the metaverse gallery that will house the MANY incredible derivatives that have been made of my pfp,
@Deadfellaz
#1600
. I truly believe this is THE most recreated pfp in Web3 and it’s time to celebrate the artists that have participated in…
I am a woman, raising 3 daughters under 6, still breastfeeding my youngest. I built and run a multi million dollar project & brand from my home, changing my life and my children’s lives. I am my own dreams come true and herein lies the power of NFTs.
My mum, who has worked hard, stressful jobs since age 12 and didn’t envision being able to stop until well into her 70’s has just retired to spend time with her grandkids. Thank you NFTs.
Let’s stop expecting utility from all NFTs. This is a dynamic space, with different niches. Utility is awesome, but forcing it onto something that was intended as creative expression only results in a pressure on artists that just doesn’t need to be there.
The degrading misogynistic commentary around the FTX stuff is incredibly disappointing. You can be mad at a woman without reducing her to her looks. It undermines the serious issue at hand and perpetuates the toxic environment we’re trying to break out of.
I’m a 32 year old mother of 3 who runs a multi million dollar brand that was all designed around my ✨spooky girl dreams✨ and if that’s not bullish idk what is. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS GUYS. 🔥🔥🔥
Today I: did 2 twitter spaces and an interview with
@garyvee
, responded personally to over 300 DMs. Rallied over 300 founders in the space to come together. Spoke to the leaders of
@yugalabs
and other top projects, judged the

cosplay contest and got my nails done 💅
House update: They accepted our offer! NFTs have meant we’re able to put a deposit on a house and my daughter will be able to have a pet dog. *chants* NFTs, LFG, NFTs, LFG.
Speaking as a founder, to other founders. We are at the very start of an industry that is being heavily scrutinised but has infinite potential. If you’re building here, you have a responsibility to act accordingly. You’re representing your industry & the thousands of folks in it.
Deadfellaz minted at .025
There wasn’t a second we doubted this decision. For many, because of this price point Deadfellaz became their first NFT. Success has come from our own ability to drive the project backed by the community, not the initial mint.
It’s my birthday! To celebrate I will distribute some NFTs to women, LBGTQ+ & BIPOC folks that are just starting out in their NFT journey. If this is you, or you know somebody just entering the space let me know in the comments 💖🤝🎉
Gas wars: wealthy people mint & people with less eth lose out. Enter the reserved mint system, wealthy people can buy on secondary, people with less eth forced into an unhealthy and degrading grind to maybe get a spot. We need to come together and figure something out.
If you have a large audience in this space, you have a moral responsibility to work by a code of ethics that has people’s best interests in mind. Transparency or gtfo.
As cool as it was in Denver, it was also full of frustrating moments for me & my team. Most people assumed they were someone’s girlfriend and instead introduced themselves to the men in our group. My team is full of prolific and brilliant women and it’s a mistake to ignore them.
To the dudes in my dms on Instagram threatening to tank my project because of what I say here - I’m not scared of you. I am not afraid to stand for something and I am proud that Deadfellaz is something everyone can be part of. Peace ✌️
We pick up the keys to our first home tomorrow. My kids have housing stability for the first time and after 3 moves in one year we are officially out of the rental market. Thank you frens for your support in making what was the hardest year of our lives, the most amazing one. 💖
It’s super depressing to see women only taking place on lists meant to ‘uplift women in NFTs’ and rarely if ever featured on lists JUST through merit of their work. Acknowledge women for their brilliance in all instances, not just for diversity clout/engagement.
When building a brand you can’t be concerned with pleasing everyone - because that’s literally impossible and will result in a confused brand identity & convoluted message. What sets you apart from everyone else is your unique voice, values, and what you stand for. Lean into it.
What
@psych_nft
and I have achieved with
@Deadfellaz
and where I’m at right now personally is literally the height of my professional career and I am nowhere near finished. Never underestimate me. 🔥💖
I have opened my DMs. If you’re a project founder please message me and I will provide you with a form to register your interest for a group call to discuss the implications of what
@opensea
is proposing as well as our moves together as leaders in the space.
After seeing Porsche’s underwhelming web3 release, following other underwhelming releases from similarly huge brands - it begs the question, who is advising them? I’d like to officially put myself out there as a consultant to throw ideas around with. Brands: stop rushing.
All 10k
@Deadfellaz
are being rigged as 2D vtube ready avatars. They will be automatically unlockable by, not another mint or claim. You will be able to use them to create original content, be your fella in meetings or streams, let your imagination be the limit. Coming v soon.
I’m here to tell you that a discord with hundreds of thousands of people in it does not indicate a successful project. Much like inflated social media accounts that are primarily bots, it isn’t representative of actual interest - instead look for engaged communities of any size.
Let’s talk about commitment to the space. I’m about to move my entire family (3 little kids + a dog) to the otherside of the world for my work. LFG. 😤🧟♂️🤝
Thank you everyone for making this whole (pretty nerve wracking) journey of travelling out solo and doxxing so fun. Miss you all already, see you in June 💖🧟♂️ ✈️
Over hyping a project prior to launch will 9 times out of 10 create inflated expectations, fomo buys, disappointment, and a fractured community. Steady, intentional launches encourage longevity - a project doesn’t need to sell out in 4 mins to be deemed a success.
Someone told me
@cloncast
gave away a
@coolcatsnft
& I’m feeling generous so I’m gonna give away a
@Deadfellaz
- & shamelessly farm engagement doing it. Tell me what you love about the fellaz, tag me &

- il pick someone &
@psych_nft
will announce on spaces. 🫡
Until I can go to a crypto event without hearing racial slurs and sexist jokes (both of which I witnessed tonight) I won’t shut the fuck up about inclusivity in web3.
After speaking with
@opensea
it feels like there is no plan and no clear answers were given in regards to existing collections & artist’s royalties. Communication has been misleading and facts are not there. Speak up if you feel a certain way about this because it has impact.
In July I made a decision to stop anything that would hinder my performance as not only a founder but a person navigating a stressful world. I was feeling physically the worst I had ever felt in my life.
I stopped drinking alcohol, eating sugar, slept more, drank more water,…
Alpha thread: I want you to drop a nugget of wisdom in the comments that you believe will help others navigate the space. Newcomers to NFTs, absorb & feel free to ask questions below, everyone will be pleased to answer any q big or small I am sure. Let’s share information. 🤝
Something I get asked a lot is what my big vision for
@Deadfellaz
is. Simply put I see it as a future pillar of pop culture. A vehicle to experience and drive media, art, fashion, music, gaming etc with a combination of innovative tech & creative expression.
Instead of sending eth to random addresses to get nothing, why not look through the profiles of artists that haven’t had a sale in a while and send eth in exchange for art and good karma.
This message is for anybody who feels like they go through life hopping from one thing to the next, wasting time. It isn’t a waste of time. You’re collecting skills and experience that will lead you to where you’re meant to be.
Following NFT NYC, a big criticism many had of events was ‘where are the women’. If you run a project you wish to build a diverse community around, you must spend time creating safe, respectful spaces for that community. It doesn’t just happen.
Picture this: you have to recount what it’s like to be a woman in NFTs almost every interview for an entire year. Spoiler alert: that’s what it’s like being a woman in NFTs. Ask us q’s about our work, our opinions - let’s move past defining our experience by our gender only. 🤝
I’m leaving my whole life, removing my children from everything they’ve ever known, and setting up somewhere we need to be at this stage in our lives so we can continue to build as we need to. Dealing with that while also fielding founder fud that happens to us all is a lot.
A new day, a new verified 26 year old gamer with 250k on tiktok with a BAYC pfp and their name in cursive on their banner liking every single comment I write 🤷🏻♀️ 💅
50k 😮 thank you for being here and supporting the journey we’re on together. As I’ve said before, numbers actually do matter to me because I have big plans that require big impact. Let’s shake things up! 💥💖
