We conducted an exclusive interview with @pudgypenguins CEO @LucaNetz. Luca is probably one of the CEOs I admire the most in this industry right now. Perhaps because he has previously run a similar business, he understands the hardships along the way, how correct his various decisions have been, and the importance of those decisions. Thank you very much to Luca for being very proactive in communication after accepting the interview invitation, and for sharing a lot of Alpha during the interview! TL; DR + Regarding the profile picture change activity, "We did not organize this event, but we assisted them in customizing profile pictures to make this trend better."; + "If you feel like you missed out on Bored Ape in 2020 or 2021, you are just in time for the early stages of Pudgy Penguins."; + "We want to surpass Hello Kitty and Pokémon."; + "Many women have found a sense of belonging in the crypto world here (in the penguin community)."; + "Our goal is very simple: we want to maximize exposure and let as many people as possible see Pudgy Penguins."; + "Our next partners are the top 100 companies globally, which is going to be very explosive."; + "In the remaining time this year, we will probably announce six major collaborations."; + "We are currently focusing on mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. In the next year, you will see a lot of our activities in these five places."; + "Our brand influence in the Web2 space is even greater than in Web3."; + "Pudgy's revenue is expected to reach $50 million this year; I plan to double that number next year."; + "I want to make Pudgy Penguins the Mickey Mouse of the internet age."; + "Games are not just something we should do; they are a key strategic means to make Pudgy Penguins a global brand."; + "All chains will eventually be commoditized at the underlying technology level; the blockchain itself has no moat; the only moat is the brand, users, and community."; + "I think many chains are built incorrectly; many are empty shells, following trends, and soulless projects."; + "Bringing Fun back to EVM, making Crypto a place that people truly find interesting again, becoming one of the most interesting corners of the internet."; + "Abstract may eventually have a token, but we are not in a hurry to launch it."; + "When Abstract officially issues a token, everyone should be able to clearly feel that this is a Top 4 public chain in the crypto space."; + "If you ask me if there is something in the entire Pudgy ecosystem that can represent everything we are doing for you to bet on, that would be $PENGU."; + "If you look at $SHIB and $DOGE, in my opinion, as long as $PENGU's market cap is still below theirs, it is undervalued."
