Betty — co-founder & CEO of Deadfellaz — walks us through the actual ground-floor story of an NFT project that has staying power. The Deadfellaz mint dropped Friday August 13, 2021. The mechanic? A Google form and direct ETH transfers — laughably low mint price by today's standards. "Would do it all again. I would do it all again." Skye (her husband) is the co-founder and artist. The brand has outlived basically everything around it.The conversation isn't a victory lap — it's a clean-eyed read on what the NFT industry did wrong. Betty on the ETH Foundation: "developers didn't have time for creative projects" — the support for art collectives that powered ETH's culture was, at best, too little too late. On utility: the wallet-to-Spotify-username cold-link concept is closer than it sounds. On staying power: "No one's coming to save us. If you see an opportunity, grab it and do something with it." Skye stayed the course. Betty develops chronic conditions from stress and shows up anyway.Market layer: Hyperliquid set a new all-time high in the bear market since the last show — Will's frame is "the token with more product market fit in the last couple of years whose name is not Bitcoin." Ondo tokenization platform gets the "too risky" treatment (way safer bets in the market right now). Bitcoin energy usage explainer — the case for using extra BTC-miner power to flatten demand for adjacent data centers. Memorial Day = traditional markets closed today, so the GDP + new home sales prints land Thursday. Pizza DAO broke the timeline on event coverage.
