You know what day it is folks, Mekaverse is dropping TODAY at 11 pm CET (for those on the East Coast that is 5 pm EST). It will be a raffle-style drop of 8,888 Mekas at 0.2 ETH each. This drop is going to probably be the biggest NFT drop to date since the discord has over 188,000 members and 144,000 followers on Twitter.
Raffle? Yes, on the MekaVerse website which you can find here.
Key details: The raffle starts at 5pm EST and it is only supported through a Metamask wallet. In your wallet, you need at least 0.2 ETH for one and 0.4 ETH for two Meka. There will be a 6-hour window for raffle selection and after that a 24-hour window for the team to select winners of the raffle. On October 7th at 11 PM CET (5:00 PM EST) a 30 min window will occur in which you can check if your ticket was selected. If you won you will have 6 hours to mint your Meka.
Roadmap: On the website, they mention goals of providing in the future 3D printing of Mekas, clothing, merchandise, artist collaborations, a Meka Multiverse, and more.

A House Was Paid With CryptoDickButts
Maren Altman is a crypto ICON with over 1M followers on TikTok. She trades crypto with the moon. Please note: That did not say "TO the moon" but "WITH the moon." (Although the first statement is also pretty accurate based on what you're about to read). Maren uses astrology to predict events in the crypto markets, and she's made some incredibly accurate predictions to date. You can check out one of her videos here for context.
Maren bought 17 CryptoDickButts for 1 ETH total a few months ago. Then, two days ago, she turned those NFT's into a downpayment for a new property. Each of the 17 CryptoDickButts were catching bids for 0.5-1 ETH each, according to this TikTok video of hers below.
Now, this isn't a suggestion to go out and buy the next variation of a CryptoDickButt... However, don't be too surprised when an NFT you own is the thing that helps you put a down payment on a new home. And let's be real— in this housing market, we could all use a little luck like this to save our dickbutts.
