Ryan Carson has already left the Moonbirds NFT team!
In a shocking move for many, Ryan Carson announced earlier today that he would step down from the Moonbirds NFT collection. To date, Carson has been the COO of Proof Collective, the company behind the Moonbirds. NFT, which has become one of the most expensive 10K NFT collections for Carson’s resignation in the middle of Moonbird’s Meteorick, has raised eyebrows on Twitter.
Proof Collective COO Ryan Carson has abruptly resigned
The amazing news comes a week after the Moonbirds collection was sold out. Since then, the 10K project has become the talk of NFT space, which could be the fastest growth of any PFP collection so far. To illustrate, Moonbird’s floor price cleared 20 ETH in just two days. By the same token, the project saw an all-time high floor price of 39.39 ETH according to CoinGecko.
The departure of one of the core team members must be different for a project that Moonbards has performed from its mint. As a result, Ryan Carson’s response to the news was critical. In particular, in response to tweets from both Carson and Proof Collective Founder, Kevin Rose, Carson was brought in and questioned about his motives.
What the NFT community has to say about Ryan Carson
While some people on Twitter followed the news and congratulated Carson, a notable Twitter team is promoting some blunt criticism of the former COO. But first things first – who is Ryan Carson?
According to his website, Ryan Carson is an entrepreneur who ran three companies and a nonprofit before working with Moonbirds and Proof Collective. Most notably, Carson founded the company Treehouse, which provides online coding classes. Of course, Carson’s credentials add credibility to the Moonbird’s team pre-minutes. However, with so many people now zeroing in, Carson’s tenure with Treehouse was not an all-smooth journey.
To illustrate, Treehouse was acquired by private equity firm Xenon Partners in December 2021. Significantly, the sale came after Treehouse first laid off most of its employees. As a result, Carson himself faced a lot of criticism around his company’s leadership.
Indeed, given his history with Treehouse and the optics of his departure from the Moonbirds, some people are questioning Ryan Carson’s motives. Basically the advice is that his plan is always to raise money for the project and move on to his next venture. For example, the tweet above shows that a user actually predicted that Carson would take this exact step a few days before it happened.
Whatever the truth of the situation, Ryan Carson’s departure does not seem to be affecting the Moonbirds very much. At the time of writing, the project floor price is down from its high altitude, but still about 32 ETH.
What’s next for Moonbirds?
Whatever the news of Ryan Carson, the Moonbirds still don’t seem to be slowing down. There were still plenty of sales in the hours following the announcement.
Kevin Rose, founder of Moonbirds, also hosted a town hall that was widely seen on Twitter space following the news of Ryan Carson. But that wasn’t for all space. In fact, the Moonbirds prepared another giant announcement for the event.
As the tweet above shows, Moonbirds has officially announced that it has received $ 10 million in a funding round. Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian’s venture capital firm Seven Seven led the round. One would imagine that the time of the announcement was, at least in part, intended to remove the Moonbird’s description of Ryan Carson’s departure.
After all, it can serve that purpose well. To that end, Moonbird Holder and others have celebrated funding news. At the same time, others were questioning why the Moonbirds needed to raise money so quickly. All in all, the project has just moved a week from its শ 70 million safe through its mint.
Another key point is that Ryan Carson’s departure is not the first minor controversy the Moonbirds have had to deal with in the past week. Whatever the case, it seems the Moonbirds are at the beginning of its incredibly interesting story.
