without any exception
it forms a 1-2-3-4 week pump
that has any visibility
without any exception
it is what happens to every single new crypto project
there was no way the 50% price increases per day would keep going
coincidence or causal
the problem is not that high prices aren't nice
words that I think have never been said in crypto
I went out and told people umm maybe prices are too high
you will remember that to everyone's shock I went out at peak SZN2 prices soaring
and because I am well, I dunno, I understand things
they are the lesson of success-in-crypto can kill otherwise promising projects
because they are very important
I want to go back to the lessons of SZN2
and judged it right
how much of a push it needed from me
i waited to see
he could have bought more cards
Right, but so... in this case, @[gpebbles] said he'd love to contribute directly, but wants a way to do it anonymously, which the Meme card offered.
i would not have stepped in if there was
there was no organic wave of demand left on the table
to make sure it minted out
dude, @[gpebbles] and I minted it out
Okay, but it did still sell out. If it's uncapped, maybe it doesn't reach 1000, but maybe it reaches 500, and more funds go to the project?
I was watching the mints
but exactly zero people were prevented from contributing to scientific research
which is fine, it is fair, it created sufficient demand in enough people to sell out
this is why it sold out

we are not yet ready for our hollywood debut
right now we need to get out of mom's basement
we are discussing where we are going to have our double date with tom brady and giselle
this conversation is totally imaginary
my friend, anyone who has such a a great idea that will raise millions of dollars and is concerned that our edition size or 'take' rate is holding it back, obviously has literally a zillion different ways to raise money
go look at the distribution of buyers
umm...
That card sold out at 328, which capped the potential.
it is the protocol take
there is no "team" take
the bad ideas keep stacking!
Well, that was the other half of @[gpebbles] idea (and @[intrepid] raised it to), the need to cap the team's take on a card like that. Something like 10 ETH, where the rest of the funds go to the project itself.
well, they are imaginary! they are normal crypto people who have no idea who we are and how to buy a meme card and why and then normal normal people who have no idea how to use an ethereum wallet
who are these thousands of people and why did they not mint @[boredsurgeon] card?
vs them just using gofundme or kickstarter or something
we would leave a ton of money on the table for the charity
i would not even want to have a hyper powerful drop like the one you describe
as we are now
still
there is a lot of friction
is to increase the pool of buyers
the key thing we need to do to go to larger funding amounts
and is looking for us to help him do it
can't figure out how to do it by himself
