“Bull post Pirates and than closed the game”Adam seems like a nice pal, but this recent behaviour with Pirate Nation raise eyebrows. After relentless bull posting Pirates all of the sudden the game is closed, party is over, pirates stakers f*ucked as well as NFT holders. It was an experiment, see ya at our next POF project... Pirates still has been one of the most fun games out there is space.

anfield_dog · 1308· 1y ago · neutral20“Visionary Gaming Founder Bridging Web2 and Web3”Adam exemplifies what great founders look like in Web3 gaming. As co-founder of Proof of Play and creator of Pirate Nation, he's built one of the most successful and enduring onchain games to survive multiple market cycles. What strikes me most about Adam is his genuine commitment to community-first development - consistently seeking player feedback and iterating based on real user needs rather than theoretical models. His background bridging traditional gaming with blockchain innovation brings rare expertise to the space. Beyond building, Adam has become a cultural touchstone in Web3, bringing levity and authenticity to what can often be an overly serious ecosystem. His transparency about both successes and challenges in game development shows the kind of honest leadership the space desperately needs. Pirate Nation's longevity and engaged player base stand as testament to his vision and execution capabilities.

Char · 1216· 1y ago20“On‑chain payments simplified for business”From my perspective, Fern offers a powerful currency API that bridges crypto and fiat for businesses. It supports over 50 fiat currencies, 15,000+ coins, and same-day settlement with just 0.5 % conversion fees. What sets it apart is simplicity for developers. With as few as three API calls, you can launch global on/off ramp infrastructure, virtual accounts in over a dozen currencies and gas-subsidized wallets. Fern nailed compliance design. They manage KYC/KYB and integrate licensed liquidity providers, all behind the scenes to remove complexity for clients. As I see it, live usage speaks volumes. Companies like Para and Threshold Network onboarded in under 48 hours and automated crypto payments to fiat bank accounts effortlessly. The product feels developer-first. High-touch support, white-labeled interfaces and smart automation rules mean teams can focus on their core product, not banking rails. Global reach is real. Fern integrates dozens of local payment rails, covering USD, EUR, GBP, PLN, SGD, JPY, and more making global payroll and vendor payouts seamless. Fern lives its mission: built for global financial freedom and autonomy in crypto payments. If you’re a crypto-native business or Web3 builder needing reliable on/off ramp and treasury automation, I believe Fern deserves your attention.
