Homeless Friends is an AI generated NFT Collection on the Ethereum Blockchain made up of 9999 unique pieces of digital art. Our main goal for this project is to bring a little bit of joy and relief to those suffering from Homelessness.

We’ll do this by giving 20% of mint proceeds and 30% of ongoing yearly royalties to charities,

A whole 20%? :drat: Such generosity!


quote:

LIFETIME ROYALTIES to the original minter.

George mints (purchases) a homeless friend NFT #55 on mint day.
George sells Homeless Friend NFT for $1000 to Cindy
George receives 5% royalty back or $50
Cindy sells Homeless Friend NFT #55 to Bob for $10,000
George receives 5% royalty from sale or $500
Bob sells Homeless Friend #55 to Greg for $100,000
George receives 5% royalty from sale or $5000

Kraken's official culture document is quite something (emphasis theirs) https://kraken-culture.notion.site/

quote:

- We will engage in disputes with government agencies where outdated laws are unfairly exclusionary
- We will engage in lobbying, as a single-issue donor, supporting controversial politicians and legislation that furthers The Mission, possibly to the detriment of other civil rights causes
- We will advertise with and sponsor controversial television programs, podcasts, influencers and events, if it furthers The Mission
- We may incorporate firearm and self-defense training in to corporate retreats
- We will allow discussion and photographs of firearms in public (but optional) chat rooms
- We will not discriminate based on choices resulting from Krakenites exercising their right to bodily autonomy
- Retreat attendance is optional, however, remote participation may not be facilitated. Retreat activities are optional and we try to support several options to choose from.

is such a loving weird way of saying... whatever it is they're trying to say here. like i can't actually tell, i think they're either saying they won't ban you if you exercised your right to CHOOSE to be one of those degenerate trans people in the most condescending and hostile way possible, or maybe they're saying "if you got a botched abortion that's fine"

they're both bougie as hell and both of their parents are high-up execs. so, too much, apparently

and yes, they made us split the bill even though it was 90% beer pitchers. i had literally one shot and my wife doesn't drink

it's bouncing off of $20k as people generally predicted. when it does break through that floor, it's probably going to fall fast as the forces that have been propping it up increasingly find themselves underwater

it was a lawsuit and/or series of lawsuits by some crazyass lawyers that would supposedly bring about some of the more outrageous Qanon claims. those involved are currently working furiously to avoid hefty fines and disbarment for their involvement, as pretty much everything they affirmed to the courts were just crazy outrageous lies and they knew they were lies when they told them (the latter part is the real problem)
