Pudgy Penguins’ Playbook + Bitcoin’s September Slump Setup

Cap and Steve break down how Pudgy Penguins are executing the perfect brand playbook, from GIFs and plushies to a mobile game and NASCAR sponsorship, pushing NFTs further into mainstream culture. They contrast this with the struggles of DAO-led efforts, pointing out how missing basic hires like membership directors and communications leads has limited other NFT projects. The conversation shifts to market seasonality as Bitcoin enters September, historically its weakest month, with average losses of 3–5 percent, before rebounding strongly in October and November. Additional discussion touches on ApeChain’s DeFi expansion with SimpleFarmer, OpenSea’s improved positioning against Magic Eden, and the launch of World Liberty Financial’s token.
