# WEEKLY DOOM: Last day to enter the VOID

**Host:** Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT) · **Date:** Tue, 08 Sep 2026 · **Duration:** ~44 min · **Speakers:** 5 (plus one unknown voice)

## TL;DR
- The VOID closes today — Doomsayers gave a last call to participate, with a DM offer for anyone who missed it. [04:27]
- Roadmap check: a burn event for the 666 Doomsayers plus Bloodberry Sauce in the next week or two, and Bloodsayers dropping in October with a Halloween reveal (airdrop-or-free-mint TBD, plus a public sale for the last half). [05:51]
- Community calendar: Discord hangout tomorrow (no format, just vibing) and cross-community Trade Night on Sunday the 20th. [05:51]
- A tour of recent mints — banger bots, internet monks, the mixers pixel collection, and the Argonauts "burn" saga where charred, animated metadata gave the collection new lore. [08:44]
- A long riff on the rumored Hunter Biden token on Base, the shame-your-followers culture around it, and whether Base can win back liquidity from Robinhood. [25:05]

## Highlights

**Crypfu's three-day weekend of food poisoning** [03:44] Crypfu (@thecrypfu)\* checked in "back at work after getting food poisoning over my three-day weekend," noting both he and his roommate got hit despite eating different things — a house-wide mystery, and he's now "hungry as hell all the time."

**The VOID closes today** [04:27] The headline item: the VOID shuts sometime this afternoon (opened around 12pm EST closing a similar time)\*. Anyone who somehow hasn't participated in the last hour or two can DM the team — though Doomsayers thinks nearly everyone already has.

**Full roadmap rundown** [05:51] Doomsayers laid out what's next: burning the 666 Doomsayers and all Bloodberry Sauce to shrink the collection, Bloodsayers dropping in October (airdrop or free mint, then a public sale for the last half), and a reveal around Halloween.

**Minting on Ethereum as a bold move** [09:54] Doomsayers praised the banger bots / Vibes collection for launching on Ethereum out of the Base ecosystem — 128 ETH volume, a 5.5k collection with ~36% unique holders, and an X copy sweep echoing what made the first collection famous. HalfbloodNerd's one-word verdict: "Choice."

**The Argonauts burn that became lore** [19:30] Doomsayers walked through the account buying and burning Argonauts NFTs — and the twist that the artist updated the burned pieces' metadata, animating them as charred, ember-glowing husks sitting in the dead wallet. It reframed burning for him: the token is gone, but the art still exists and adds depth to the collection.

**Burning art as a Buddhist sand mandala** [22:45] Riffing on why anyone would torch $1k NFTs, Doomsayers compared it to Buddhist sand mandalas — hours of labor made beautiful and then erased — finding "some beauty and some insight" in creating art only to destroy it. HalfbloodNerd wanted to see it built into permanent "you can never come back" lore.

**Crypto tribalism and the shame game** [31:10] keRRy (@kerrymcook)\* joined and put the "unfollow me if you buy this token" energy in perspective: "it's another form of human tribalism… I don't expect the trenches of crypto to be any different than the trenches of an actual World War One."

**Grimy meme coins paired to stocks** [33:11] keRRy described the wagby crew building tokens meant to last, including "Sweatshop" paired to Amazon — "grimy as fuck… a grimy meme, dude." Doomsayers connected it to the Macintosh token paired to Apple stock, liking how holders earn stock-token rewards without needing an NFT.

**Liquidity flowing back to Base** [34:42] keRRy flagged a flow chart showing Robinhood liquidity may have peaked, with money moving back into Base and Solana — sparking Doomsayers' half-joking vision of an ongoing L2 tug-of-war between Robinhood and Base.

**The nap debate** [41:53] HalfbloodNerd announced, apropos of nothing, that he was going to take a nap ("naps is so good for you… this changed my life"), then immediately reversed course: "We are not doing any naps because we are so scared to miss out on something." Doomsayers, torn between a nap and lunch, opted for ramen.

## Who said what
- **Doomsayers** (@DoomsayersNFT) — host; ran the show, delivered the roadmap and VOID update, and gave a detailed, affectionate tour of the week's mints and market moves.
- **HalfbloodNerd** (@halfbloodn3rd)\* — a running conversational partner throughout; teed up the pixel-art and burn-lore discussions and the Hunter Biden token topic, plus the nap saga.
- **Crypfu** (@thecrypfu)\* — opened with the food-poisoning check-in and a note on the mic-volume quirk when speakers cycle.
- **keRRy** (@kerrymcook)\* — joined mid-space with the tribalism framing, the wagby/Sweatshop meme-coin builds, and the Robinhood-to-Base liquidity chart.
- **BubbaGump** (@BubbaGumpNCX)\* — pulled up to say hi, plugged his show (poodle guests returning next Wednesday after Twitch tech issues), and praised the space as a clear NFT rundown.

## Worth a full listen
- **[19:30]–[25:05]** — The Argonauts burn saga and the mandala tangent is the most thoughtful stretch: charred animated metadata, a dead wallet that keeps the art alive, and a genuine little meditation on making art to destroy it.
- **[25:05]–[34:42]** — The Hunter Biden / Base token conversation winds through political meme tokens, the "unfollow me if you buy this" shame culture, and where stock-paired meme coins are heading — the room's liveliest back-and-forth.
