Chubbicorns rose and stayed united. The winners will tell the tale.
The online store is live and story to come.

The Chubbicorns assembled and fought off the dragons. 🐉🦄
It was a hard battle, but through it all, the Chubbicorns united. When one corn was down, another showed up with pizza. When the fires got too close, care packages appeared on doorsteps. They patched up the wounded, checked in on each other, and made sure no corn was left behind. That's just what Chubbicorns do, even when the world goes dark, they don't let each other go it alone.
Now we've returned, a team down to the original artists who started it all. The good news: we saved the Chubbicorns IP, and I've now taken sole ownership moving forward, creating fun things for us. We've also recruited some awesome friends to help run our socials.
There are only 250 Chubbicorns, so we're naturally limited by our numbers, but even in the quiet years, we hit 11B+ views on Giphy. Chubbicorns are immortal.
Now we're rebuilding, starting with a new collection of merch called Proof of Love, and bringing back some favorites.
We've poured a lot of love into it and would appreciate your support. Buying merch will help us develop more, and we do have a few things planned and in the works.
Check out our store and use code in the comment below this post as a THANK YOU for being an early supporter as we continue to build. ❤️

Life was simple. Friends, food, and adventure filled every day.
The only decision was pizza, ramen, or sushi to avoid the salad diarrhea.
Monet ALL DAY! Dude was a true dapper gentleman and lived a more fulfilling life cultivating his garden. Gogh unfortunately lived a BRUTAL life, respect to Theo though.
This is incredible, no more shitty gift cards and all that NOISE.
You simply don't know how good PlebQR is. I've been basically living on Bitcoin for the past couple of weeks and purchasing food, drinks, clothes, tickets with the sats I earn by shitposting on Nostr.
PlebQR is an unstoppable peer-to-peer Bitcoin to fiat on and off-ramp. Every Bitcoiner deserves to have this. Read on and maybe it'll inspire you to create something similar for your region too.
In Thailand, like in many other places in the world, especially in Asia, the most common digital payment methods aren't credit cards, they're QR codes. All sorts of QR codes from many different fiat payment providers. Shitty ones, good ones, it doesn't matter. As long as it's a QR code, it'll work for us.
Here's where PlebQR comes in. PlebQR is what I would call a Let-me-pay-for-you app. It matches you, the person who wants to pay for a drink with Bitcoin, with a random stranger on the internet who wants your Bitcoin and pay your fiat QR bill in return!
The UX is straightforward: You scan the QR code at the store, pay a Lightning invoice, and wait for the payment. No sign up needed and with incredible privacy.
It works best when you're not in a hurry and when there isn't a line of people waiting behind you. Those cases are surprisingly common, think restaurant bill, or at the flea market. Right now, it usually takes a minute or two for the payment to clear but it'll get faster as more people use it.
The best part though isn't that it just enables Bitcoin payments for basically everything and everywhere. It's that it represents a different, more natural form of decentralized trading that can't be stopped, and that isn't about buying and selling Bitcoin, but about spending it.
I wish you could try it out some time.
Pure magic Internet money ✨
