Moonbirds just broke a 2 ETH floor again. +32% in 24h. Nearly 500 ETH in volume. What you're witnessing might be the most dramatic NFT comeback since Pudgy. Let me show you the full arc of this fallen blue-chip 🧵👇

1. The Birth of an Owl Empire 🦉 April 2022. Moonbirds mints for 2.5 ETH. Floor hits 38 ETH in 6 days. $450M+ in volume in the first month. Everyone thought it was the next BAYC. They were wrong.

2. The Nesting Era Moonbirds introduced “Nesting” soft staking that rewarded long-term holders. It worked. Holders flexed Diamond Wings. Then came: – Oddities airdrop – Mythics roadmap – Access to the Proof Collective ecosystem Momentum was real.

3. The Fall Begins Then came the cracks: – Co-founder accused of “sniping” rares – Surprise switch to CC0 (no IP rights) – Overpromised, underdelivered – Canceled Proof of Conference – Bear market pain Floor collapsed from 38 ETH → 0.3 ETH. One of the most brutal drops in NFT history.

4. Yuga Tries to Save It Feb 2024: Yuga Labs acquires Moonbirds. Plans to integrate with Otherside. Hype returns. But… no big updates. No real traction. Community loses interest again.

5. The Pivot. The Pulse. The Potential May 2025: Yuga sells Moonbirds to Orange Cap Games (OCG). A new team. A new chance. And suddenly, something changed.

6. Today, July 27, 2025 - Floor: 2.2 ETH - Volume: ~500 ETH in 24h - Listings: Only 3.2% Buy pressure is exploding. Whales are circling again. Moonbirds might finally be flying again.

7. Why It Matters Most blue-chips that fall this far either fade out or keep flailing. But Moonbirds now it’s backed by a funded Web3 game studio (Orange Cap Games) that just: - Raised $3.5M from top VCs - Got Yuga Labs back in as an investor - Teamed up with OpenSea - And is building games and IP extensions around Moonbirds This isn't just a price pump. It's a reload. A new team, new money, and real partnerships.

8. In Web3, death isn’t final. Sometimes, all it takes is: – A new team – A new narrative – And a community that never gave up Moonbirds isn’t back yet. But it’s not dead anymore. Keep watching the skies. 🦉
