Adam Weitsman's weekend sweep lifted Pudgy Penguins' floor about 17% and drew plenty of praise for 'spreading confidence' through a rough patch. A few days later, the floor had slid back under 2.23 ETH — a touch below where the sweep started — before bouncing 6.9% today to 2.38 ETH. Several independent posts on X made the same point before our own numbers caught up: one big wallet can move a thin floor, but it can't manufacture demand that sticks once he stops buying. Weitsman himself leaned into the chatter overnight, joking that he's 'retiring' from his actual business to go 'full time into posting Pudgy Penguin purchases for secret cash/NFT payments' — a wink at the accusations that his buy was a paid promotion rather than genuine support. Even through the swings, one Pudgy Penguin still sold for $31,667 two days ago, the single biggest trade in the index this week.
