There’s a lot of FUD and noise around @Azuki right now - and yes, I’ve thrown my fair share too - but after hearing it in spaces, and watching @Zagabond actually listen and respond in real time, I took a moment to think this through and come to some conclusions. Because perspective matters. Azuki’s been through worse FUD, tougher market conditions, and louder critics - and every single time, they’ve come out sharper, stronger, innovative, and more aligned to their vision. Right now, sentiment is in the shitter. NFT floors are taking a fat hit, Blur loans defaulting, and timing for the pivot couldn’t have had a good impact on that. But here’s the difference - this isn’t the first storm, and it won’t be the last. Some of my best Web3 memories came from Azuki and the community - real friendships, late-night voice chats, people who showed up for me in dark times when no one else did. That kind of community doesn’t vanish overnight, and it sure as hell shouldn’t be forgotten. If you were part of that era, you know exactly what I mean. So instead of burying those moments, I’m standing on them. Because every time Azuki was counted out, it turned into another chapter worth remembering. We’ll probably look back in a few months and laugh - the same way we did last few times the sky was “falling.” And if history really does rhyme… let’s just say I’ll be holding one (or a few) when it does.
