It all started with a group of investment bears who found success in 2020 hoarding and selling toilet paper during the start of the pandemic. The group is also famous for shorting tiger petting zoos during the Tiger King hype.
Then they decided to short some crypto, SOL specifically. Didn't go well... They became the Sad Bears .
After all 10,000 Sad Bears are purchased, 12 weeks of exclusive airdrops will begin. Once a week for 12 weeks, Sad Bear NFT holders will have the chance to receive exclusive airdrops, including four complete generative art collections!
See Road Map for more details. Every Sad Bear you hold in your wallet increases your chance of winning an item.
