⚠️ EXTREME CAUTION⚠️
To those interacting with @Hyena_Coin's Sahara Social.
As you can see below, you can deposit but cannot withdraw. This is a 🚩. So I would caution against adding any $ADA into it.

🖌 NFT of the Week with Noodz 🍜
Each week, we check in with our resident NFT connoisseur, Noodz. Let’s see what he’s got cookin’ for us…
2 months ago I released my book on Amazon.
In 2 months I sold 50 copies for a net of $180.
Now I put my book on Cardano today with the help of @book_io and...
257 copies sold in the first 10 minutes.
+ a WAYY higher % split in royalties, and 2.5% on all secondary sales.

Today, we’re highlighting an OG member of the Cardano community: Jack Friks!
This legend made 1000+ videos on crypto, which helped to get the word out in a big way. Now, after a less-than-satisfactory experience with Amazon, he’s back and minting his book “Create Cool S**t” on Book.io.

That's all for now!
