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.
