Pudgy Penguins sold one million plushies in 12 months, says CEO

As a crypto investor, I’ve closely followed the success story of Pudgy Penguins NFT project. Over the past year, an impressive number of over one million units of these adorable digital toys have been sold, based on the latest update from their CEO, Luca Schnetzler.

On May 13, the creator of the widely-followed Pudgy Penguins NFT collection disclosed that sales have surged, with the project gaining traction as it enters more retailers internationally. This sales achievement comes after the May 12 unveiling that Pudgy Toys and Pudgy World could be purchased at major US retailer Target.

Pudgy Penguins is a well-known NFT collection launched in 2021, consisting of 8,888 vibrantly colored penguin avatars. Initially, the project faced challenges as its previous leader was involved in allegations of rug pulls. Nevertheless, Schnetzler acquired the brand for $2.5 million in 2022.

Religious leaders debate going to church in the metaverse

As a researcher studying the evolution of media and its impact on religious practices, I’ve observed how religious programming was among the early staples of broadcast media when radio and television first emerged. Now, in this new digital age, I notice that religious practitioners from all corners of the globe are embracing cutting-edge technologies such as metaverse, Web3, spatial computing, and artificial intelligence to deepen their faith experiences.

Despite this, there remain critics who express concerns over potential risks related to these advancements. Faith community leaders ponder the relevance of contemporary technology in their practices, while a vast number of conventional religious adherents look towards spiritual authorities for direction.

At his Florida residence on May 8, 2023, ex-US President Donald Trump made several noteworthy statements during his gathering with a number of ardent NFT (Non-Fungible Token) fans.

Trump not only reaffirmed his commitment to supporting crypto entrepreneurs in the US, but he also boasted about contributing to the recent popularity of NFTs. He even took a jab at a rival’s memcoin creation, unwittingly triggering a price hike. Multiple videos of his most iconic statements were shared on X on May 8th.
