Got a follow back from Pudgy Penguins yesterday and honestly, I wasn't expecting it—totally caught me off guard.

I've been following these guys since I jumped into crypto, almost 4 years in now. Back when the whole NFT space was getting dunked on left and right, most people wrote it off completely. But the Pudgy team? They just kept shipping, kept building. No drama, no excuses—just consistent work while everyone else was doom-posting.

That's why owning a Pudgy has been on my list from day one. It's not just about collecting a cool penguin avatar. It's about supporting the builders who believed in the vision when literally nobody else did. Projects like this one show what happens when teams stay focused on creating real utility and community value instead of chasing hype cycles.

Moment like this hit different when you've been watching from the sidelines for years.
