ChainCatcher news, Azuki whale and NDV co-founder Christian tweeted: "Currently, my unrealized losses on my NFT portfolio have exceeded 1000 ETH, but that's not the highest in the circle. I think I'm doing well, but the floor price keeps dropping. However, I won't sell any Azuki, nor will I sell any (related series) NFTs. The community is collapsing, but 'is this the end of the NFT era?' I don't know. Bad things have happened, mistakes were made, and all emotions should be understood. What I know is that we need to stand up, face the difficulties we encounter, and give more tolerance and confidence to the projects we favor. Whenever I feel fear and want to sell, I comfort myself that at least I'm one step closer to the goal of common prosperity. Dawn will eventually come."Previous news, Christian previously stated: "It is unwise to destroy a $1 billion project (and the most loyal community on Earth) for a profit of $38 million. I would be willing to offer $40 million to buy the entire company." (Source link)

BEANZ will be designed as a unique IP targeting a younger audience and the mainstream market. It has an independent roadmap and is more focused on developing IP.Green Bean is an NFT that has been prepared for a long time; it is not a new PFP but is related to anime, and it will not support trading in the short term.Azuki is working on developing a new type of anime content, planning to start with short animations as part of their anime works.
