THE CRYPTO SPACE 🚨

The Spaces centered on market psychology, community execution, and a coordinated push around the “Dogenal Dogs” ecosystem. Hosts and speakers urged participants to stop obsessing over short‑term charts and use down cycles to build skills, health, and networks. A core thread contrasted past NFT/memecoin “extraction” behaviors (whitelist grind, ring‑insider dumps) with a value‑creation model the community wants to embody. They recounted Solana’s prior boom‑to‑bust, Discord grind mechanics, and why both NFT and memecoin models failed when everyone tried to extract. A major segment benchmarked NFT volumes cross‑chain, claiming Dogenal Dogs outperformed top Bitcoin Ordinals on Magic Eden and many alternative chains, and called for members to post objective volume comparisons and tag marketplaces. Practical guidance included X monetization reactivation (three months after loss; verify in Stripe), keeping to hosting schedules, and DM’ing purchase posts for amplification. The space also addressed interpersonal friction, re‑centering on positivity while spotlighting builders (Type Media and others). Overarching message: stay locked in, build together, be ready for the few “good days,” and provide value so the next market upswing can be captured.

Market mood, cycles, and mindset

• Don’t over-fixate on charts in chop/down periods. Shibo said he stopped staring at charts (not leverage trading) and urged shifting energy into productive actions that will pay off when momentum returns (e.g., health, learning, building, community support, subscriber growth, art/tech study).
• Be receptive to “signals” and blessings. The market and broader life will test conviction; part of winning is preparing yourself—mentally and habitually—so that when opportunities arrive they’re blessings, not curses. Shibo emphasized getting your mind right so an influx of money accelerates growth rather than a downward spiral.
• Market fatigue is by design. Hosts warned that price action is engineered to shake out participants. The choice is binary: give up or continue. Veterans (“second/third/fourth-cycle”) grow numb to volatility; the long-term thesis is to keep stacking, not spending crypto on consumables.
• Simplicity vs difficulty. The playbook is conceptually simple (show up, learn, build, support), but execution is hard and timing windows for big wins are small (“10 good days, 355 boring days” per year). Stay locked in to avoid missing those days.

Lessons from last cycle: extraction economies and why they failed

• Solana “OK Bears” era as a sentiment peak: Speakers recalled SOL at ~$250 before crashing to ~$8. The chain even had periods where the network halted, highlighting fragility that many newcomers didn’t appreciate at the time.
• Whitelist grinds were theater: King Ant described Discord “leveling,” invite quotas, and fan art/tattoos—mechanics designed to create the illusion of organic hype. Participants often chased whitelist entry to mint and immediately dump; founders observed this and some responded by “extracting” from communities in turn.
• Meme coins mirrored this extraction cycle: Early orbits around devs got the best entries, then many sold into later buyers. Over time, both devs and participants optimized for extraction. Result: most projects failed; the “value provision” ethos was scarce.

From extraction to value provision: the Dogenal Dogs ethos

• The core claim: this community inverts extraction by emphasizing value creation and mutual uplift—from leadership down through members. Provide value first; avoid the “get a little from something big” mindset and pursue “build something bigger than what’s big.”
• Trust and IRL bonds matter: DD NYC strengthened ties; members reported increased willingness to help, support posts, and collaborate across projects. Community growth is inseparable from individual growth (mindset, health, spirituality, skills).

Product and access updates: Broom Dog Infinity and wallet scan states

• Wallet scans and rankings: Multiple members discussed scanning wallets on the project site (including ETH wallets) and seeing “access granted,” an emblem/light-up state, or being “under review.”
  • Shield: saw “access granted” plus an emblem; had top-10 positions in some wallets.
  • Others: still “under review”; advice was to be patient and keep checking.
  • Web (Rob): framed his status in lore terms (“returned to nothing,” “zero state,” “escaped the matrix”), consistent with ongoing Gigatron narrative.
• Call to drop wallets (bottom-right UI) and to check/scan periodically. Messaging implied the system should update automatically, but members compared notes to confirm if changes were visible.

Volume leadership and marketplace strategy

• Claim: Dogenal Dogs (on Doggy Market and elsewhere) has been consistently outpacing many collections across chains and even Bitcoin Ordinals on Magic Eden.
  • Members were urged to add up volume across both marketplaces and post factual comparisons, tagging Magic Eden’s team (keep tone factual, not hostile). “Imagine if Dogenal Dogs were on Magic Eden” was a recurring prompt.
  • “Ukrainian website” references were made informally about Magic Eden; those statements reflect speakers’ opinions.
• Cross-chain snapshots (Wally):
  • Monad NFTs: reportedly $0 total trades (still on testnet after years). Observation: influencer hype vs. negligible market engagement.
  • Arbitrum top-collection volumes around $8k; subsequent collections <$1k.
  • Base: top ~$13k; second in low thousands.
  • Avalanche: top collections in the hundreds of dollars (e.g., $367); very low activity.
  • BNB: extremely low—examples cited of only a few dollars in total volume across top collections.
  • Bear Chain/Abstract/Sei: similarly low activity cited.
  • Ethereum: remains the main chain with higher aggregate NFT volumes, but speakers noted “left pocket to right pocket” activity concerns.
• Action: members should create charts/screenshots (e.g., “twin towers” visuals) comparing volumes across marketplaces/chains to showcase Dogenal Dogs’ outperformance.
• Operational ask: If you buy a Dogenal Dog, make a post and DM it to the Dogenal Dogs page for visibility/reposts (team cannot see all organic posts in-feed).

Platform monetization (X) guidance

• Sober TV shared practical info for those who lost monetization after April 12:
  • Expect a 3-month review period from loss date before reactivation.
  • Check Stripe to confirm last payment and estimate next payout window.
  • Be patient; you should receive notification when reactivated.

Member spotlights and community contributions

• Shield’s accumulation story: Initially bought a dog around ~$900, sold, then returned and accumulated heavily near ~$16–$2k; remains a buyer and expresses conviction in the community—now reportedly well in profit.
• DeFi (D5) evolution: Early days included aggressive hustling (DM’ing contract addresses/scanner bot plays). After friction and feedback, D5 adjusted to “build with the grain,” grew network ties across communities, and now is widely recognized (Wizards, Builder Hats). Multiple members praised D5’s persistence, networking, and positive impact despite early skepticism.
• Type Media Group (Luis, AJ, Chuck, Cake, Javi, NeuroNav, Rev John, Edge, M Goose, Stacks): Shout-outs for consistently hosting, building, and moving without asking permission—aligned with the “hop the counter and cook” ethos.
• Health/life improvements: Community anecdotes included quitting smoking, professional development (e.g., Grant Cardone program access), and general uplift through consistent participation.

Gigatron/Web narrative (lore)

• Web (Rob) posted/promoted a meta-lore exchange with “Gigatron” (AI/protocol persona). Themes: autonomy vs control, refusal as resistance, rewriting roles. Web framed it as recognizing/managing psychological games and reprogramming himself to avoid reactive traps. Others teased that he’s “deep in the weeds,” but it’s a recurring angle in the group’s storytelling.

Moderation, schedule enforcement, and interpersonal tensions

• Hosting schedule enforcement: If you’re slotted on the website schedule and don’t host during your time (without arranging coverage), you will be removed. Example: “Rude” was removed after missed hosting.
• Tall vs. Brooklyn Brawler dispute:
  • Context: Multiple attempts to bring Brooklyn on stage were blocked. Accusations flew that “Tall” kept hitting “don’t allow.”
  • Outcome: Brooklyn Brawler was promoted to co-host; numerous jabs followed toward Tall (insults, claims, and calls to block). The hosts framed it as removing negativity; Brooklyn encouraged positivity and ambition.
  • Note: These are participants’ statements and sentiments during a heated exchange; no independent verification was provided in the space.

Calls to action and near-term focus

• Market/PR:
  • Create factual posts comparing Dogenal Dogs’ daily volumes vs. leading collections on Magic Eden/Doggy Market and across chains; tag Magic Eden.
  • Keep tone professional and data-driven; avoid antagonism.
• Participation:
  • Drop wallets (per UI guidance), scan regularly; DM your purchase posts to the Dogenal Dogs page for visibility.
  • Maintain your profiles, sharpen your lineup (presentation), and be ready—“you never know who you’ll bump into.”
• Personal development in down periods:
  • Improve routines (consistent wake times), health, skills (charting, blockchain tech/gen-art/fine art), and community support. Focus on being useful and prepared for the upswing.

Key takeaways

• Mindset: Stop obsessing over price during chop; invest in skills, health, and relationships that compound into the next up-move.
• Cycles: Veterans understand the emotional cycles. Newcomers should expect volatility, avoid capitulation, and keep stacking.
• Structural lesson: Extraction-first models (NFT whitelists, meme coin ring games) failed. Value provision and aligned incentives win long term.
• Execution: Community cohesion and consistent IRL/online support are differentiators. DD’s culture—value over extraction—is positioning it to win outsized attention and volume.
• Proof points: Daily volume comparisons indicate Dogenal Dogs frequently leads outside Ethereum, and sometimes rivals top collections; cross-chain data show weak activity elsewhere—amplify this advantage.
• Governance & ops: Keep the schedule; miss your slot and you’re removed. Moderation will prioritize positivity and productivity.
• Platform ops: If X monetization was lost post–April 12, expect ~3 months for review/reactivation; verify via Stripe.

Closing sentiment

• “Every dog has its day.” Stay present and productive so that when the short windows of opportunity open, you’re ready. The community frames itself as bigger than crypto: it’s about mindset, health, skill, and mutual uplift, with crypto as the shared foundation. Keep showing up, keep providing value, and keep building through the slow days so you’re positioned for the few very important fast days when they arrive.

Music interludes

• Opening and closing segments included live/recorded song lyrics (themes of resilience, looking up, waiting for the light, and calling out). They bookended the discussion and reinforced the room’s mood of persistence and hope.
