You were an attendee of the first official DDT tournament! This special day couldn't have happened without you. I appreciate the support and will always remember you 💙

It's our first LVF conversation post - VeeCon. And, what an epic event that was?! For those of us who traveled to Minneapolis, MN we know how important this time we spend in these chats getting to know one another is. It really felt like family when we connected in real life. However, it was epic to celebrate one year with all of you on Spaces while we were there and recapping the event LIVE from the Boardroom Bleachers. That said, this week we are kicking off year two with V2, and we'll be exploring the 15 new characters Gary Vaynerchuk created for his second series of NFTs. As many of you are likely familiar these characters were only accessible for mint through Book Games raffle + burn mechanics, which was played on layer 2 through Token Trove. If you were lucky enough to hustle and acquire a new character -- kudos! Of course some are available on the secondary, but it might cost you. So let's dive into the first character who inspired us, the Mindful Minokawa. The Minokawa is a mystical creature and is thought to be so large that it can swallow the moon, sun and potentially the earth. The legends of the Minokawa link it to the eclipse season where it gobbles up the moon causing the sky to go dark. That is until all the people on Earth make so much noise to lure the Minokawa to look down and open it's mouth giving the moon just enough of a chance spring from it's belly. So now that you know the legend -- what are some ways you could see this Mindful Minokawa character develop? It's been paired with the attribute of being mindful, which by definition is a state of awareness + a focused form of consciousness. Any ideas come to mind? 😉

It’s here! And we are in Minneapolis to celebrate our VeeFriends! One year in the making :)

Have you ever had a mentor? Did you find their influence on you to be worthwhile? Maybe you've never had one, but you are thinking about it now. What would you want to be mentored in, and who would you give that privilege? Niki Baltimore remixed our VeeFriends character Mentor Meeting Mongoose for our 50th POAP. We are so grateful you have been collecting these. And with just two more weeks until VeeCon, we are almost at the completion of our annual collection of LVF POAPs!! We appreciate you!

Can you tell us which VeeFriends character we're inspired by this week? The energy of this VF's spirit animal has been said to be one of valor and power. It's also been compared to the mother energy of the dark moon and the magnitude of the night. Any guess? -- How about a hint from our chat topic? 📌Hint ✨ Q: What type of podcasts do you listen to? And, which ones make it in to your top three?

If you haven't noticed by now our POAPs have taken on a twist. We decided to revamp the vibe and remix our VeeFriends with Niki Baltimore. Any guesses on the character this once was? Hint: This week we present you a pass inspiring a chat about jams. Not blueberry jam or slow jams - but jam sessions like the ones we have weekly. 😁 So, here is the prompt. ☕️ ☀️ If you could pick any one person in the world, dead or alive, to jam with for three hours who would it be, who would you bring, and what would you want to talk about?
