Vol. 1 Project.
A generative collection of 10,000 mixtapes born out of a desire to do our part in helping newcomers navigate the unfamiliar and often rocky experience of jumping into the NFT space.
As a part of the Robot Feelings universe, each mixtape will represent a unique vibe. Whether it be a sad, ETH is tanking kind of vibe or a WAGMI, LFG vibe, each NFT will represent what mixtapes used to do for us back in the day (if you were lucky enough to have received one from a friend). It’s a gift that is meant to remind you that you are not alone, that someone else “gets you”.
We hope our mixtapes do that for you.

| AMA | Ask me anything |
|---|---|
| AFAIK | As far as I know |
| BTD | Buy the dip = It means to purchase an asset after its price has dropped, which is usually considered as a bargain since the asset is likely to bounce back and increase in value after the short-term correction. |
| DYOR | Do your own research |
| GM / GN | Good morning / Good night |
| HODL | A misspelling of ‘hold’ used by crypto people to say that they’re holding on to their assets through thick and thin. |
| LFG | LET’S FUCKING GO |
| Looks rare | Rarity is relatively important in NFT collections. But when others say something like “ok, looks rare”, it’s being used ironically — they actually mean “it doesn’t look rare”. |
| Simp | An enthusiast who comes off as trying too hard impress someone. |
| NGMI | Short for “Not going to make it”. See our definition for GMI above. |
| Probably Nothing | This term is used ironically to mean “probably something important”. For example, one may say “This freshly launched NFT collection just hit No.1 in trading volume on OpenSea. Probably nothing.” |
| REKT | Slang term for “wrecked”. Often used in the online gaming community to refer to someone (or something) who has been totally ruined or destroyed. In the crypto space, getting rekt usually means experiencing severe financial loss due to bad investment decisions. |
| Right Click Save As | An ironic expression used by non-believers in NFT. Someone who mocks the NFT space by saying digital artwork can be easily attained on the internet through Right Click Save As. |
| Wen | A silly misspelling that’s used ironically by NFT and crypto communities, often in “Wen moon?” which loosely translates to “When will the price of this asset rise exponentially?” |
| WAGMI | We’re All Gonna Make it |
| 1:1 Art | A unique NFT art piece that only exists in one edition. |
|---|---|
| 10k project | An NFT collection of approximately 10,000 avatars, which was arguably pioneered by the famous CryptoPunks collection. This term is also commonly used to refer to similar avatar projects instead of the actual number of NFTs in the collection. |
| Airdrop | New NFTs or cryptocurrencies that are automatically sent to your wallet for free. This is a common practice in the crypto space to attract and reward early project adopters. |
| Alpha | Having access to important insider information. For example, one may say “I work at Opensea, so I have Alpha on the new artists that we’re partnering with next month” |
| Ape-ing (into something) | When you ‘ape into’ something, it means that you’re buying something in an irresponsible manner and typically out of “FOMO”, and/or without doing your due diligence. |
| Asset | Another way to refer to a digital collectible or token. |
| Avatar Project | Basically the same as a 10k project. Refers to a collection that consists of a few thousand NFT ‘avatars’ such as CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club and Cool Cats. |
| Bearish | When you believe that a market or asset is heading towards a downward trajectory. For example, “I’m feeling pretty bearish about the P2E gaming space right now.” |
| Bitcoin | The most well-known cryptocurrency. |
| Blockchain | Think of it as an open spreadsheet that everyone in the crypto world has access to, and it records any changes or transactions. It’s where users can verify ownership. |
| Blue Chip | Well-known projects or tokens with the most stability. An example of a blue chip NFT project is CryptoPunks by Larva Labs. |
| Bot | An automated software or script built to perform specific actions. Bots are commonly used to automate trade executions, initiate identity verification, snipe cheap NFTs once they’re listed, etc. |
| Bullish | The exact opposite of bearish. This term is used when traders, investors and community members expect an appreciation of a token or asset’s value in the near future. |
| Burn/burning Refers to the complete destruction of an NFT to get rid of it. You can “burn” an NFT by sending it to the NFT contract address so that it’ll be destroyed and no longer be transferrable. | |
| Collectible | Something that’s deemed to have value or rarity, such as limited edition LEGOs or sneakers. |
| Crypto Twitter (CT) | Subculture of developers, tech founders, economists, influencers and speculators that frequently tweet about cryptocurrency, blockchain, decentralization and crypto scams. |

| DeFi | An acronym for decentralized finance. |
| Degen | Short for “degenerate”, usually refers to people who often make risky bets. In the crypto space, it usually refers to people who invest in digital assets like NFTs by “ape-ing” in and without doing due diligence. |
| Delist | Canceling the listing of an NFT for sale from an open market. |
| Derivative | Projects derived from the original project, first popularized with a wide variety of “alternative” punks collections. |

| Discord | A group-chatting platform originally built for gamers but has since evolved into a platform for all kinds of communities, especially NFT projects |
| Doxxed | When the identity of an NFT team member, dev or creator is public, known or verifiable. In the NFT market, when a NFT team is doxed it’s usually sign of confidence and transparency for NFT collectors to ensure they won’t be scammed by an anonymous creator. |
| Drop | An event where users receive free tokens/NFTs for holding onto certain types of assets. |
| Dutch Auction | A bidding technique that considers all bids received on a given asset before arriving at a ceiling price, which gradually drops at specific time intervals. |

| Gas | Gas is the amount (in native cryptocurrency) required by the network for a user to perform cryptocurrency transactions on the blockchain. For example, you’ll need to pay gas in ETH when you interact with the Ethereum network. |
| Gas War | A gas war occurs during an NFT collection launch where there are more buyers (e.g. 100,000) than the amount of NFTs (e.g. 10,000) available for sale. In these situations, you’ll need to increase your gas fee to outbid the others’, in hopes that your transaction would go through faster than theirs to secure your purchase. |
| Generative Art | Art that is created (be it in whole or partially) with the use of an autonomous system. This autonomous system typically requires minimal or no human intervention and can independently determine the features of an artwork. All major collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club, Cool Cats, Pudgy Penguins, that were created in recent years are generative art. |
| Gwei | Gwei is a denomination of the cryptocurrency ether (ETH). Also called nanoether, Gwei denotes the ninth power of the fractional ETH (i.e. 0.000000001 ETH). In simpler terms, Gwei is the gas price required to successfully conduct a transaction or execute a contract on the blockchain. |

| Miner | Someone who mines tokens on a blockchain network with their GPU. |
| Mining | The competitive process of solving cryptographic problems to verify and add new transactions to the blockchain for a cryptocurrency that uses the proof-of-work (PoW) method. The first one to solve it gets to add the current block on the blockchain and receive newly minted tokens as a reward. |
| Mint/Minting | The creation process of an NFT. “Minting” an NFT is, in more simple terms, uniquely publishing your token on the blockchain to make it purchasable. |
| Moon | One of the most common financial market terms used in the crypto and NFT space, which refers to the exponential growth of an asset’s value. For example, if the price of a coin/NFT is experiencing a spike, we can say that the asset is ‘mooning’ or ‘going to the moon’. |
| Paper Hands | The opposite of ‘diamond hands’. It refers to someone who sold something (usually an NFT) at a price that’s perceived to be too low. |
| PFP Project | Shorthand for ‘profile picture’, so a ‘PFP project’ is essentially the same as a 10k project or an avatar project. This term is coined because the avatars in these NFT collections are often used as profile pictures on Twitter, Discord, etc. |
