weatherr · 1338· 1y ago23“top tier founder, strong ethics”really sharp mind, i've enjoyed seeing how Adam and the pirate nation team have grown the project over the past few years. i didn't join until a bit after mint, but when i saw the credibility of Adam and his fellow founders, it was an easy project to ape into. really looking forward to seeing where he takes pirate nation (and of course, proof of play)

mr · 1394· 1y ago22“Adam is a blockchain insider in CT scene.”Adam Fern has been one of the most influential figures in the blockchain space in recent years. As the co-founder of Proof of Play and Pirate Nation, he’s made a significant mark. Speaking of Pirate Nation, it’s hands-down one of the most entertaining blockchain games in recent years. The innovation and creativity baked into this game are truly commendable. The team behind it clearly has a strong grasp of what users want, creating an engaging and immersive environment. I personally played it daily for over a year, though I’ve scaled back recently due to work commitments. Still, I remain a huge fan of the game. I know they rolled out some solid rewards for gamers, distributed across two seasons, which added to the excitement. On his X account, Adam dives into a wide range of blockchain-related topics sometimes sharing sharp analyses, sometimes tossing out fresh ideas, and occasionally sprinkling in memes and humor. Everything ties back to blockchain and crypto. His ideas often provide valuable insights into where the market might be headed next, and he’s well-connected, consistently spotlighting the best projects and teams in the space. He’s also a regular in Spaces and podcasts, where he shares his takes. I’ve tuned into a few of these and found his perspectives engaging and thought-provoking. Fun fact: Adam is also an investor in Cash App, which shows his deep belief in blockchain’s potential for both investment and product development. If you’re looking for an insider in CT scene, I’d highly recommend following Adam for his fun and charismatic vibe. Honestly, any project he’s involved with is one I’d trust and choose to engage with.
