Thoughts on new individual and institutional entrants to NFTland:

There are a couple of ways that one can start investing in NFTs today:

1, Directly buy NFTs
2, Invest capital in NFT projects
3, Invest in NFT related tokens
4, Invest in NFT Collections
2/
Invest in NFTs:

NFTs are non-fungible, meaning that one NFT is not going to be the same as the next, even in art editions (early numbers = more value).

This is not like investing in BTC, ETH or some other DeFi Token.

There will be tastemakers and there will be lossmakers.
3/
Invest in NFT Projects:

There are thousands of projects claiming to be the next big game or the next big platform.

Gems are 1 in a 1,000.

If I pre-seeded every single "good idea", i'd have alot of good ideas and a zero ETH account balance today.

Use case is Paramount.
4/
Invest in NFT related Tokens:

One of my favorite things in the space:

Platform based governance tokens
New NFT oriented Blockchain tokens
NFT oriented Social Tokens

The tokenization of NFT projects and assets creates homogeneity that allows for simple investment strategy.
5/

Invest in NFT Collections:

The simple fact is that just because you own a NFT, you may not moon with the total industry.

True Tastemakers in projects, artworks and collectibles will moon, while the majority will fade into obscurity.

Unless you have a time machine...
6/6
And good taste.

This "revolution" of NFTs will be unlike the crypto revolution or the DeFi revolutions that came before it.

DD. DD. DD....

And most importantly. Collect what you love ♥️

1/ The Web3 Disruption of Revenue and P&L Models

First there was barter, then there was currency.

The methods in which humans have exchanged one good for another has always been direct and as of recent history, done through a traditional "buy -sell" model.

This could change.
2/ What is Barter(ing)?

In essence, bartering involves the provision of one good or service by one party in return for another good or service from another party - Investopedia

This is the means of transaction that our ancestors used till the advent of currency (2,000 BCE)
3/ The Status-Quo: Currency

USD, EUR, JPY, RMB, BTC, ETH...

We earn currency through the provision of goods and services and in turn, use that currency to purchase goods and services we desire.

1/ Rethinking the Comercial Value of PFPs:

This is not going to be a popular thread.

People have invested with the expectations of profit, and anything that threatens those expectations are oft seen as a personal insult.

Hear me out (or not) and save yourself some pain.
2/ Your Monkey isn't Hello Kitty

Evergreen IPs are far and few between.

The majority of character IPs, regardless of their initial popularity, have a limited lifecycle.

You can count the # of evergreen character IPs with the digits on your two hands.
3/ They all look the same

The lack of differentiation among PFPs within a single project makes commercialization of "characters" impossible.

There are only 39 characters in the Sanrio-verse and 898 in Pokemon...

And the differentiation of characters is not a different hat.

He is also eloquent AF.

It saddens me when I see comments from mainstream such as:

"Not a NFT"
"Please not a NFT"

NFT technology was created to provide true ownership and management of digital assets as we moved further towards a digital world and lifestyle.
2/6
Like the internet, NFT tech is not inherently bad.

The internet was created to provide the seamless flow of information and ideas across the globe.

It was not created to provide access to child pornography or animal cruelty videos.

Cute cat videos were a bonus though.
3/6
There is so much noise in the NFT space.

A generational disruption in digital art, culture and gaming drowned out by insider trading, hype manufacturing and false idols.

And that noise continues to increase with the greed associated with it.

When markets heat up and start to ascend the mainstream adoption curve, it's usually time to start looking around for "What's Next".

What is the next "Crypto"?
What is Web 4.0?

And how can you start to get alpha level exposure?
2/
Web 1.0 was about content/ information - Search

Web 2.0 was about connectivity - Social Media

Web 3.0 is about decentralization of 1 + 2 - Blockchain

What is Web 4.0?

The jury is out, but a large number of responses to this question hinted at "Immersion".
3/
From Web 2.0 to 3.0, investor based wealth was generated throgh the traditional means of buying and selling equity.

Web 3.0 democratizes the wealth generation process through tokenization of governance, access, assets and the ability to generate yield through DeFi.
