Doodles’ co-founder claims it will transition from a “NFT initiative” to a “leading media franchise.” In a March 18 Discord message, one of the doodle’s creators, Jordan Castro (aka “poopie”), stated it intended to move away from financial speculators.
We want to become a media giant. “We are no longer an NFT initiative,” Castro remarked.
A September 2022 investment round valued Doodles at $704 million after its October 2021 debut. The brand’s CEO is Pharrell Williams. Castro said doodles will prioritize its “most faithful collectors” and not “appease those with pecuniary objectives.” Twitter users criticized the apparent shift in focus and the project’s lack of communication and March 16 NFT sock drop.
NFT startup founder Daniel Tenner tweeted, “the earlier we do away with the phrase ‘NFT project’ the better,” adding that such initiatives “are all startups/businesses.”
Castro subsequently stated that it “will continue to employ NFT tech as the connecting thread across all we do.” The goal was to “evolve beyond vicious speculative cycles” by “bringing in intrinsically driven users,” addressing actual issues, and producing market-fit goods.
