Santa: Hey Ashenone, you’re probably the biggest Claynosaurz hypeman I know - excited to hear your story! How did you get into this space? What made you stick around?
Ashenone: I joined through a friend that was making art on ETH. At first I was, of course, skeptical like everyone else but I soon learned about the money to be made and the community around NFTs. The money hooked me and the vibes kept me around even when I wasn't making money.

S: What’s your proudest win?
A: Honestly, joining some badass teams throughout my time in web3. First Boryoku, then LMNFT, then Magic Eden and now Claynosaurz. Working with these insanely smart people, growing them and with them has been an incredibly humbling and learning experience.
S: Biggest ‘facepalm’ moment or regret?
A: Uhhhh, I'd say just selling things early. I sell things WAYYYY too early because I'm a profit maxi, but most of my wins could have been much bigger wins if I was just more patient, lmao.
S: What’s the most exciting thing [in crypto or beyond] right now? Spill the tea.
A: Right now, buying things for cheap. Clayno, Madlads, Azuki, even BAYC is down bad. If you have any faith in NFTs long term, not buying now will be a huge regret in a couple of years.

S: What are you building? Why does it matter to you?
A: I'm building my brand! I want to be the next gen influencer that promotes happiness and making money rather than just bad vibes and FUDding things. I'm also building @digitalashen, my side hustle where I sell Notion templates.

S: As you look ahead, what personal goals are you chasing?
A: Right now, making some money. I've been grinding that more than anything. Trying to move and get married in 2024 so stacking bandos is the most important thing right now for me.
