LT3 #102 — Finding Your Tribe

Host: Super (@SHGFees) with co-host Sho (@AgogoKaren) · Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 · Duration: 1:21:40 · ~9 active speakers

TL;DR

• A mellow, reflective LT3 — the "back-half" Space after Jed and Lyss reportedly ran a 4+ hour marathon earlier — built around one theme: finding your tribe in Web3, and why being in too many communities can feel like being in none.
• Speakers traced how they found their "home base" projects (Fugs/Bugs, Nibbles/Frankie DeFrog, Quirkies, Regens, LT3) and what made those communities stick.
• Trust was the throughline: founders who show up daily, communicate, stay accountable, and take the work seriously (art, IP, socials, real-world moves) versus the cash-grab launches that quietly slow-rug.
• Metakiddo shared a long, personal story about a founder who paid back millions and rebuilt trust — then lost it through pride, illustrating how fast trust can evaporate.
• Lyss made a spirited case that founders who "take a week off" are a red flag, and shouted out Super for hitting 100+ Spaces by showing up every day.
• Closed with collab announcements (Fugs/plugs, Quirkies with OpenSea/Yuga, Regens × Kabu × 3D FrankenPunks) and Sho's tribe definition: "belonging becomes strength."

Highlights

[8:46] Super frames the topic. Staring at his LT3 (satchel on, looking dazed, "going somewhere"), Super landed on the night's theme: if you spread yourself across too many communities it starts to feel like you belong to none. Finding your tribe, he said, is a personal journey you mostly have to take yourself.

[10:15] The origin story via frogs. Super recalled bonding with his brother over Plague of Frogs and Llamaverse — sniping frogs, buying one that matched his brother's perfectly ("Bro, what are you doing?"). The Llama founder, he and DaFameless agreed, "ran a really good Ponzi while it was up" before disappearing.

[15:00] The corner where we all cry. DaFameless recounted fumbling entries — being six hours late, watching things run from 0.005 to 10 ETH — asking "which corner do I pick today to cry in? It's all wet everywhere." Sho turned it into the thesis: that shared corner is the tribe. "We're all in it together."

[18:48] Why Fugs became home for DaFameless. "Cute but chaotic," reminding him of his own childhood mischief — but the deciding factor was the founder (yacht), always in the chat, always shipping, running NDAs for beta testing on the Collector's Hub, and driving a Toyota Corolla ("that should speak volumes"). DaFameless leaned into being a trait collector chasing golds and silvers.

[27:00] Cadarn's road to Nibbles. After bouncing through Game7 and Open Campus as those ecosystems sunset, Cadarn pivoted to NFTs via the Mundus, got burned April–July, then found his tribe in Nibbles/Frankie DeFrog — sold by hearing the team's genuineness in a Space and their long-term vision in the Discord roundtables. His refrain: "If I can see the value you're trying to give out, then bro, I'm sold out."

[38:00] Sho on how she chooses who to trust. She watched Poppy for three months before buying a Quirkie, prizing communication, accountability, and follow-through. Founders going quiet for a week or a month is "not protecting your tribe." Her homes now span Quirkies (her base), Frankie's, Regens and more — and, she noted, a real-life tribe she couldn't do life without.

[55:49] Metakiddo on how pride kills trust. A long, heartfelt story about "Grumpy"/Sliff — a young founder who burned ~10M and worked to pay everyone back, saving people who were suicidal — only to lose the community's trust through a sudden shift in character and pride, even after fully repaying. Metakiddo's takeaway: trust can be rebuilt, but pride destroys it "very, very fast."

[1:06:04] Lyss: show up every day. Fresh off a real-life phone call, Lyss delivered the motivational beat of the night — founders who cancel a weekly Space to "unplug" or go to an event earn a hard pass. "You get 24 hours in a day… you're gonna tell me you can't show up for one hour?" Shout-out to Super for hitting 100 and never making excuses.

[1:09:22] Tim's introvert arc. Clubhouse-era lurker turned participant, Tim explained that introversion just means slower to warm up — and 2026 was the year he warmed up, across Bored Apes, Regens, and LT3. He credited Jed for (very New Yorker-ly) dragging him back on stage, and teased a future interview-style Space grilling Jed and Lyss on Regens.

Who said what

• Super (@SHGFees), host — framed the tribe theme, shared frog/Llama nostalgia, and made the case that trust in a handful of "purple chip" projects is now easier by the day.
• Sho (@AgogoKaren), co-host — the night's emotional anchor; how she vets founders (watched Poppy three months), the value of a shared community "corner," and the closing tribe definition.
• DaFameless (@DaFameless) — Fugs/Bugs as home base; trait-collecting, founder integrity (yacht), and vivid rug/FOMO comedy.
• Cadarn (@RendCadarn) — journey from Game7/Open Campus to Nibbles and Frankie DeFrog; frustration with hyped-but-undelivered "big name" mints; enthusiastic Kabu plug.
• Joshua (@PEPESIGNS) — you "fall into" a tribe; and you can belong deeply as a quiet, ever-present listener without saying much.
• Metakiddo (@Metakiddo) — the artist's-eye story of a founder who rebuilt trust then lost it to pride.
• Lyss (@Lysss302) — high-energy closer on daily presence as the truest signal of a founder's conviction.
• Tim (@tim_8093) — introvert-to-participant arc, deadpan humor, and a teased interview Space on Regens.

Worth a full listen

• [55:49]–[1:00:52] — Metakiddo's Grumpy/Sliff story. The summary can't carry the weight of it: a founder paying back millions, saving people at their lowest, then losing the room to a subtle change in character. It's the emotional heart of the trust conversation.
• [1:06:04]–[1:08:15] — Lyss on showing up. Delivered like a motivational segment (Super and Sho half-joke she should record actual motivational clips) — the cadence is the point.
• [1:09:22]–[1:17:40] — Tim's arc plus the charger bit. His introvert reflection is genuinely warm, and it slides into a running gag about hosting a Space, needing a co-host in case he "accidentally rugs," and pretending his phone's been at 1% for two hours.
