Fat Penguin Review: Diamond Hands has been with him for 3 years, waiting for a house in a school district

Reprinted from panewslab
12/20/2024·5MIn the past few days, I used the Fat Penguin airdrop to buy a house in a school district, which is considered a Christmas gift for my daughter.
A few years later, she may no longer have to squeeze across the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops in Shandong. I am really grateful to Fat Penguin.
At this moment, 1090 days have passed since I joined the Penguin community. In the past three years, no matter how bad the market situation was or how difficult life was, I never thought about selling it, because Fat Penguin is just another baby, worth waiting for for a lifetime.
The time goes back to December 2021. At that time, my daughter had just turned 6 months old, and I had just resigned from a certain job. I didn’t have much money in my hand, and I knew nothing about the future. I just took it one step at a time.
Even so, I still spent 0.7E to buy the Fat Penguin (valued at 2800U at the time). The reason is very simple. I like these chubby little penguins from the bottom of my heart. Even if it goes to zero, I still think it looks good. I don’t expect this guy to make a fortune at all. coins, I never thought I could get various airdrops.
Since then, I have had two children. One requires me to work hard to make money, buy milk powder and toys, and the other requires me to continue preaching and help more new people join.
To be honest, neither life is easy, but it is very happy, because love can withstand the long years, and gentleness can withstand the hard times.
Today, standing at the new starting point of Fat Penguin, I would like to share some of my experiences in the past three years, which is also an explanation for the past. I hope it can inspire you.
**1. First impression of Fat Penguin: an internet celebrity since his
debut**
Fat Penguin is a phenomenon-level NFT in 2021. It is endorsed by celebrities such as Curry. It has been deeply reported by the New York Times. Its short-term return rate exceeds 100 times. At its peak, its weekly trading volume exceeded Punk and BAYC.
When I first learned about Fat Penguin, it was less than 0.5E, but I still didn’t start and watched the floor rise to several E’s. Later, due to poor market conditions and internal strife in the Penguin community, the floor price once fell below 1E.
For me, this was just a good opportunity to start, so I made a decisive move, paid for my love, and started to do whatever I wanted in Web3.
During that time, I stayed in Penguin DC every day and felt the warmth and unity of the Penguin family. It was a very good feeling, and it still feels sweet when I think about it.
2. Turning point: Luca spent 750E to take over
The good times did not last long, and Fat Penguin ushered in his darkest moment.
First, the Penguin Egg was criticized by the community after opening the box, and then the team was exposed and took away all the ETH+ raised to prepare the project for sale. For this reason, Opensea temporarily delisted Fat Penguin.
This series of blows is testing everyone in the community, and no one knows where the future will go. Fortunately, many people choose to persevere and help Fat Penguin tide over the difficulties.
The turning point occurred in April 2022. At that time, Los Angeles entrepreneur Luca spent 750E to take over Fat Penguin, reorganized the team and designed a roadmap.
This event is a milestone, like a light in the darkness, illuminating everyone in the community and the way forward for Fat Penguin.
I specifically found a team to create a Chinese channel, but no one was active in the Chinese area, and the channel was later hidden, which was a pity.
3. Counterattack: Web2 and Web3 develop simultaneously
Under the leadership of Luca, Fat Penguin started a counterattack. While expanding its territory in Web2 and maintaining stable cash flow through toys, clothes and other peripherals, it continued to innovate in Web3 and cooperated with large projects on cross-chain, SBT, etc.
Therefore, in the entire NFT bear market, Fat Penguin Floor rose instead of falling, becoming one of the few blue chips that did not rely on Ponzi to maintain the floor price, and it was also responsible for the appearance of the entire NFT sector.
I have to mention Penguin’s advisory group here. They span almost all Web3 tracks, including VCs, founders of leading projects, etc. The combined influence of these big guys can be called a nuclear weapon.
With the efforts of the entire community, Fat Penguin has become a model of counterattack success, and the penguin spirit has been dubbed unity, optimism, bravery, innovation and other good qualities.
As a result, various projects have offered olive branches during airdrops, including DYM, OMNI, ZK, L0, etc. A rough estimate is that a single penguin has received at least 100,000 U from external airdrops.
4. Preaching: Promote because of love
During the Penguin counterattack, I continued to promote it as an unofficial contributor on Twitter, WeChat groups, Disord and other channels. I also assisted the leader of the Chinese community in running WeChat groups and opening Space.
Let me share a set of data: Since 2021 to the present, dozens of Fat Penguin tweets/column articles have been published, with a total number of views ranging from hundreds of thousands to not one million; the WeChat group has published thousands of Fat Penguin messages, and has convinced many group friends. Buy Penguin + brush L0 cross-chain.
Nowadays, these group friends have obtained returns far beyond their expectations through Fat Penguin, and have even achieved a class leap. I am really happy for them. Being able to be their "leader" is the most valuable thing I have done in the past three years.
My only regret is not getting the Fat Penguin Influencer SBT. What I value is not the rewards behind SBT, but the recognition of past contributions.
5. Gratitude: exchange + media support
On Penguin’s journey forward, there are many people and things worthy of gratitude. At this moment, the first thing that comes to mind is Binance, as well as many Chinese media.
Let’s talk about Binance first. They announced the HODLer airdrop plan on the eve of Fat Penguin TGE, including $PENGU. BNB holders can share 3% of the total token supply.
Binance’s move is consistent with Fat Penguin’s long-standing philosophy, which is to attract more users to join the community. This is also very obvious in the design of the official airdrop rules. You will see that many NFT players and active addresses on the chain have received airdrops of good value.
In fact, Binance’s strategy has always been to introduce incremental users to Web3, which coincides with Fat Penguin. In the future, I very much look forward to the in-depth cooperation between the two parties and jointly try some out-of-circle activities to help Web3 prosper.
6. Future: Fully participate in the construction of Abstract
$PENGU is the first step, Abstract is the second step.
As an L2 that Fat Penguin is deeply involved in, Abstract builds consumer-grade networks. Its target users are not limited to Web3 traffic, but look at the global market and help Web2 institutions, projects, and individuals enter Web3 at a low threshold.
Objectively speaking, many projects have used this narrative to hype, but so far we have not seen a successful one. The final outcome is mutual entanglement in the field, which has no practical significance.
However, Abstract is different, standing behind it is a fat penguin. If Fat Penguin can't do it, then it's even less possible for other L2s.
Since September this year, I have released several Abstract participation tutorials intensively. If you copy the homework in time, you have actually received a lot of $PENGU airdrops.
It doesn’t matter if you fail. Abstract plans to launch the mainnet in January next year. It’s still too late to ambush. For specific ways to participate, just search my past tweets. If you have any questions, you can leave a message.
