Ever had FOMO for a beverage?! Rekt Drinks is not only tapping into the collectors with limited supply runs - their “dual rewards” collabs are growing their community with the Abstract & OpenSea base as well as upcoming Jupiter drop! my excitement on CwC was pre 7/11 deal

Coffee with Captain Carousel for the week of June 16th ☕️ Another great lineup of guests - kicking the week off with one or two of the ApeChain Architects today!

“We’re trying to build something that’ll be here in 10, 20 years…” 🔥 On Coffee with Captain, Garga.eth (Greg Solano) was clear: ✅ Grants will face a higher bar ✅ Teams need to be serious ✅ Longterm alignment matters Yuga. ApeChain. ApeCoin. BAYC. Time to build. 🤙

Love this clip from Spencer on CwC. I asked if Pudgy Penguins Vibes sales are just in Web3, and he delivered thoughts about: ✅ Web2/Web3 marketing mindset ✅ Unprecedented initial sales ✅ TCG folks embracing Vibes Bonus: TCG collectors are NFT collectors with cardboard.😆

gm - let's start with a fun one today. Why did Spencer acquire Moonbirds? He gave the perfect Web3 answer, a combination of emotional and business reasoning. Looking forward to seeing what he does - and it's exciting for ApeChain to have him building the IP on their chain.

My first piece for Expanding Curiosity is live!! It kicks off a series on why NFTs haven’t gone mainstream - starting with how over-financialization became a trap. 🤖It’s long, so no shame using AI to summarize 🎧Or listen - I recorded it like a podcast 👇 Read/listen here👇

The last two months of the Coffee with Captain & Beezie partnership have been a blast! ✅ Hundreds of dollars in collectibles won by the CwC community ✅ New folks onboarded to Beezie ✅ Endless good vibes Let’s look back at some of our favorite moments. Beezie FTW 🤙

The Circle IPO was a home run out of the gate - now what? I think TradFi could fall in love with crypto ETFs and IPOs as an opportunity for asymmetric gains. We’re STILL early.

Here’s a hot take🌶️ Everyone is getting hyped up about AI ads saying "this is the future!" It is, but but most right now are complete slop. Weak creative, no insight, viral ONLY because they look super real. As we become desensitized to AI realism, quality will matter.

Serendipitous timing. Yesterday on CwC Captain Zwingli 🍌🎙️ & I chatted about which Web3 community-based brands could go public. 🐧I said Igloo (Pudgy) with toys, community, Abstract, etc. 🦖Cap went with Claynosaurz (solid reasoning) 👀Pudgy might be the answer Full clip👇

if Steve called an Igloo IPO yesterday & the announce on Monday 🤯 we may have to retire "Coffee" & go with "Premonition with Cap"
