# 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.
