More dope shit is imminent.…
It's a bittersweet day. 🥲
After several grueling months, I just landed a Tech PM role at an iconic retail brand. My mission: shaping their retail media platform, a red-hot industry I helped establish at Amazon.
Sadly, this closes a chapter in my web3 journey. I aspired to…
The Azuki Elementals Trailer has quietly gone viral on TikTok. Here are the stats from the last 10 days:
👀 13.6 Million Views

Factoring in cross channel videos on YouTube and Twitter increases overall views…
Azuki is gonna be my PFP from here on out.
@locationtba
personally appealed for the change and group of my peers overwhelming voted in favor of this update.
So, say hello to the new me ⛩️

Today I entered the Garden ⛩
For months I've been in awe of the community's creativity, ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit.
Most importantly, you've always treated me like family.
Today when I saw Azuki 1986, I knew it was time. Can't wait to join you on this journey🙏
It's only been 48 hours since Collector Status launched, but it looks like Azuki may have pulled off a small miracle.
With everything on the line and the entire space watching, this team threaded the needle to land one of the most complex and consequential products we've seen…
Popped into
@CAMPSTORES
on 5th Ave in NYC and was pleasantly surprised to find
@doodles
merch.
If the brand's goal is to reach young urban professionals (w/ kids) -- mission accomplished.
This product placement and brand alignment is spot on 🎯
Just copped a white bucket dood. Love the vision from the team on expanding web3 IP and investing in storytelling. Doodles has such a distinct art style, you can recognize it right away.
When I met
@poopie
during KBW, it was exciting to hear how well the IRL activations were…
If this looks familiar it should.
@ZAGABOND
teased this hoodie in a post on June 18th.
The amount of planning and patience to telegraph a drop like this is pretty special. !IKZ ⛩️
First date night in 2+ years. ❤️
We locked in a baby sitter and went out for omakase and drinks at a speakeasy hidden in the subway station.
Feeling tipsy, feeling grateful to be back in the big city.
This announcement may have buried the lead. The partnership with Dentsu is a big deal.
Dentsu is a dominate force in the ad agency world representing hundreds of billions in ad spend for global brands including Coke, LVMH, AMEX, Microsoft, P&G, Mastercard... and now Azuki. 😮💨
Introducing GARDEN DAYCARE ⛩️🍼
If you're an irl parent and revel in the beautiful chaos of parenthood, this
@Azuki
community is for you.
Come laugh, cry and vibe with the dopest parents in web3. ✨
Shoot us a note if you want to join!
I was an Azuki before I owned an Azuki.
My journey into the Garden is not exceptional. I didn't mint. I didn't buy in at the ATH or peak FUD.
It happened very slowly, then suddenly. Vibing on spaces, collabing on projects, and forming bonds that transcended PFPs. All of this…
2+years in web3 strained my marriage. With no cash flow in a bear market, my wife held us down as I got back on my feet.
Now we're good and I need a SPECIAL gift for her milestone bday.
She's not into crypto, we have a car, jewelry/clothing feel impersonal
I need ideas... help
I woke up this morning to a hard truth, I've been neglecting my family, my health and work. There aren't enough hours in the day so I gotta recalibrate and that starts with getting off twitter for a while.
If you need me, reach out. I'm never too far. 🫶
If you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up.
Look at Doodles
This community has been to hell and back. Market sentiment has waned since Feb, but something extraordinary is underway. The team is delivering and executing against it's ambitious roadmap.
The journey here was…
Still rocking with
@Doodles
🌈
FUD is heavy and FP eroded, but it feels like a bottom imo.
We know the team is stacked, the war chest is deep and vision clear.
But many fail to consider is the 2023 roadmap👇
(If even just two of these hit, we'll see a major shift in sentiment)
My first digital commission and it couldn't be more perfect. Family is everything to me and you've captured it the most incredible way.

You 𝗰𝗮𝗻 have it all - Just not all at once.
Today, I'm officially back to web2.
Idk how I'm going to juggle a kid, fast-paced job and web3 but let's give it a go. Wish me luck. 🫡
Spent the last 3 hours with
@doodles
' Head of Product + Partnerships in a community feedback session.
The thoughtful questions, constructive dialog and passion we heard has me feeling renewed.
Looking forward to more of these soon. Thank you

Does provenance matter?
I asked myself this question a lot recently. It all started to make sense when I saw my friend's toddler rocking a pair of Chicago Air Jordan 1s.

Chiru's partnership with IPX is a sleeping giant.
IPX's infrastructure, penetration and distribution in Asia combined with Azuki's web3 expertise, IP and impending content is going to push a wave of dope shit to the masses. Get ready.
I'm convinced my wife is trying to kill me. She's made plans to host guests every weekend in August AND she's leaving me w the baby for a work trip.
To top it off, our toddler was suspended so I'm on daddy daycare for the next 10 days.
Send help.
Send prayers.
Send whiskey.

It's odd that the monkey in the film looks nothing like
#JimmytheMonkey
as drawn in the RM2.0, puzzle game or Clubhouse Otherside deed.
No fez, chain, cigar...
The team said pay attention to the details... is this another character?
GM. Made a mistake of tuning into spaces and it's ruined my morning.
The level of enragement and entitlement coming from people who have never built consumer tech products at scale is simply unbearable.
Hot take: Fam who exit Azuki will return when they realize how great they had in the ⛩️
I've been apart of several comms, love them all, but none of them compare.
The incredible bonds, team access, resources and an unrelenting passion to delight holders makes Azuki exceptional.
Woke up in shock. My toddler just punched me in the eye, gave me the sweetest kiss, swung again and then said "sorweey" in the matter of 10 seconds.
I just looked at her, gave her a hug and said ily.
Never thought crypto would prepare me so well for fatherhood.
This is why I'm here, why I rep who I rep and what I believe in.
Dope shit, culture and communities primed to leave a lasting legacy on an entire generation. Miss me with the rest, these are my people.
⛩️LFG🌈
Blessed. I got sent back the 1 ETH I lost when I hit a drainer posted in a project discord last week.
Thankful have the funds back. Now I'm not sure what to do with it.
Exhausted.
Our girl is waking up screaming in the middle of the night. She won't calm down unless we lay down next to her.
Wife doesn't want her in our bed. Can't let her scream because of the neighbors.
Not sure what to do but this ain't it. 😴
SOLD OUT: Doodles x Crocs 🌈
Look beyond the physical products and you'll see an interesting strategy unfold, i.e., Doodles is helping brands integrate into web3 with digital collectables.
Adidas, BBC, Ice Cream, Humanrace and now Crocs
Who could be next? Let's speculate:
1/15
The normie comments tell you everything you need to know. The aggregate response to the Azuki Elementals animation is overwhelmingly positive.
And the upside potential is evident.
Let's say 99% of the of the est. 100m global anime viewers don't like the content or hate NFTs.…
