Super excited for this AMA and appreciate you taking the time! I have a few questions & we'll start with a simple one >I’m Luca Netz, the CEO of Pudgy Penguins, and I’m super excited to be doing this AMA with the [r/CryptoCurrency](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/) community, and ***to start showing up on Reddit in a big way.*** For a long time, a lot of top projects didn't feel Reddit as a whole and this subreddit specifically was worth investing time & money into. I always thought it was a huge miss as there's nearly 10M members and 300k+ MAU. We've seen a recent uptick in interest here. Projects like Kraken, Polygon, and MoonPay have done recent AMAs and KOLs like Unipcs has also done a recent AMA. Why do you think interest in this subreddit is growing & why is Pudgy making it a priority to get involved on Reddit (both with this AMA and the recent growth in the r/PudgyPenguin sub)? Second question - Reddit has NFT avatars. These have an awesome culture to them. There's even an artist u/penguitt, currently working as a designer/illustrator for Monad (wen mainnet?), who's done some penguin designs that were a hit (https://www.reddit.com/avatar/shop/artist/penguitt). Would you guys ever consider release Pudgy Penguin avatars? If so, I'd be more than happy to assist and I'm sure there are plenty of artists who would willing to help out as well!
Token of a game I've been playing has been [going wild the last week](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/crown-by-third-time-games) Not that a lot of people here like Crypto games, but probably the Crypto game that actually has the highest MAU out there, racin' horsies
A lot of digital documentation solutions providers run into difficulties with cryptocurrency and/or interoperability (if they ended up using a private chain to avoid crypto and gas fees). Standardization is key. Also scale - the equivalent metric of "MAU" in shipping - TEU - is just massive and would overload most public chains
Absolutely. Many things can be built on the protocol but many of us non-builders, use it like social media: just with less fighting and outrage. You hold your private key and log in with your public key. There are many different clients like Damus and Primal (Twitter-like UX), Satellite.Earth (Reddit-like experience). So many of the folks that I see admired and cited here for their hard work and insight (Alden, Booth, Mallers, Dorsey, ODELL, Bent) are right there to interact with. It’s a small community right now: about 10,000 DAU and 30,000 MAU but could very easily 10x this year.
LRC isn't being implemented by dApps with the highest MAU. For example, opensea is operable with Ethereum and Polygon and is one of the most popular NFT exchanges out there. I don't see LRC ever taking the thunder from Polygon, definitely not a bad project, but it'll have to attempt to scale another L1 project to steal any thunder in terms of top consistent 24HR volume.
Totally weren’t trying to fluff their MAU by scaring users into logging in
Basic Attention Token (BAT). BAT is tied to the Brave Browser and is available for purchase on a lot of major exchanges, such as CoinBase and Gemini. Here's a quick rundown on BAT: The token is intended to be a representation of the value of a user's attention. The token has a real world application and has real world money actively flowing into it from major companies via advertising. Basically advertisers using Brave ads have the ad money they pay Brave go into BAT (either Brave buying the BAT using the fiat paid by advertisers or in some cases the advertisers directly paying Brave in BAT). Brave users who opt into the rewards program will see non-disruptive, privacy preserving ads and be rewarded 70% of ad revenue when they see a ad (you DON'T have to click on the ad). Users can cash out the BAT they receive monthly as they please. In case you want info on the Browser and the BAT supply: Brave browser also blocks normal ads, trackers, etcetera making it an attractive browser to a wide range of internet users. It also has a built in option to use Tor if that is your thing and the team behind it is helmed by Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript and former CEO of Mozilla Corporation). Ad revenue on the internet is massive for browsers and search engines and Brave's user count is growing fairly rapidly. They are hoping to have 50 million monthly active users (MAU's) by years end. At the end of October they had 42.1 million users, which was an increase of 3.2 million user since September. BAT has a total supply of 1,500,000,000. There are approximately \~35.63 BAT per MAU. Note: not all users have opted into rewards or are in countries with active ad campaigns. Thus, the \~35.63 BAT per MAU to me serves as a simply demonstration that the BAT supply is actually not overly large compared to Brave internet browser users and internet users at large. And yep I realize most people are just giving the name of a coin/token, but I feel weird saying one and not giving any info about it.
