Spain's second quarter labor cost year-on-year rate

Almost 5 years ago I was in Miami for art basel pounding drinks at a Doodles nft event. This 20 year old kid came up to me, told me he just acquired this nft brand and they were gonna take over the world. He was literally glowing with confidence in what he was doing. Zero doubt.

Next week we’ll see another NFT-focused Kaito leaderboard, this time spotlighting @doodles and $DOOD. Still feels like one of the cleanest InfoFi plays out there. Early movers will dominate.

The 15 main coins launched in 2025, traded below $100 million in FDV $AIN $STO $SPON $CUDIS $BR $CYC #B2 $BMT $RICE $FHE $MAT $MILK $SKATE $DOOD $KILO

Moonbirds’ announcement yesterday about being added to the pre-TGE leaderboard made me curious: What actually happened to all the other NFT collections that launched an airdrop at some point? The results are pretty interesting: 1) While it's not surprising, it's obvious that Pudgy Penguins are the big winners here. With $PENGU, they not only massively expanded their distribution by orders of magnitude but also grew the overall pie by almost 3x for the community. 2) Miladys and Doodles have moved more or less sideways when you compare today’s ecosystem valuations with the day of their airdrops. Still, $DOOD at least managed to broaden distribution while $CULT holders are rather insignificant. 3) Contrary to what many might believe, Bored Apes and Azuki come out as the big losers here. Since their TGEs, both $APE and $ANIME heavily diluted valuations, while the overall brand value has basically been cut in half compared to then. What can we learn from this? Launching an airdrop as a brand is no joke. Sure, it can be a powerful tool to spark hype and drive floor prices in the short term, but sustaining that momentum is incredibly difficult. In the long run, it can even turn out net negative for the brand and community. The absolute playbook here is what @LucaNetz executed with $PENGU. While everyone tries to copy it, the reality is that it took top-tier marketing, years of work, and consistent value creation to build a truly aligned and loyal community - one that isn’t just chasing short-term profits. That’s the real moat for NFT brands. Without it, there’s no way to maintain momentum and distribution over the long haul. It’ll be interesting to see how @spencer plays it with $BIRB.

3.37 ETH or $14.6k for Moonbird. Will it pay off with their token? Let's compare the average floor price just before the drop with the actual sell value of tokens for iconic ETH collections: - Pudgy Penguins: 29 ETH ($115k) - 1.7M PENGU ($68k) - BAYC: 125 ETH ($337k) - 10,094 APE ($150k) - Azuki: 15 ETH ($48k) - 170k ANIME ($12k) - Doodles: 4.9 ETH ($9.8k) - 185k DOOD ($1.4k) Floors of all collections, except BAYC, dropped significantly after their token release. Thoughts?
