Let's explore long term NFT investments,

Art, Gaming, Virtual Land, Utility.

What's here to stay for 2-3 years, thus being a good long term hodl.

1/ Thread πŸ‘‡
2/
Generally there's 2 types of NFT investment categories.

Short term - Flipped while volume is high. Bought early, sold almost asap.

Long term - Held on to as the project matures.

We'll explore the latter. (At the tail end of below graph)
3/ @AxieInfinity Mystic Axies.

Mystic Axies were rolled by luck 3 years ago during the presale. No more will be released.

There's ~1,400 of them and the price has been steadily increasing from 0.6 ETH to 4.5 ETH today.

Reaching 10+ ETH at one stage.
4/ User base for Axie Infinity is increasing!

With land gameplay around the corner and a recent $1.5M Land Bundle sale, I'd assume that user base will keep climbing.

= more demand for mystic axies as they're hard capped and seen as collector class within the Axie ecosystem.
5/ Early/pivotal artists to the trajectory of the industry.

There are MANY, but an example, using data.

@beeple's first release of 100 on @niftygateway, 'Politics is Bullshit',

Sold for $1 on Oct 30 - 2020.

2 Recent sales a couple days ago for $16k, $20k.

Cheapest $30k!
6/ There's many artists/creators like this,

@grimemonday 'Last stand of the nation state'

@fewocious @SuperRare 1/1's

@trevorjonesart Bitcoin Bull

etc,
7/ Virtual Worlds with hardcapped Land supply.

@decentraland has had ALL of its supply released. There won't be more unless the community vote yes.

With the recent @atari HQ, 100+ new galleries in last 2-3 months and 100-500 at events.

I'd say land is a good buy.
8/ True for other virtual worlds as well that have a fixed land supply and increasing demand.

BUT with Decentraland - Land has fluctuated in MANA price.

From 8,000 MANA to 15,000 MANA back to 8,000 MANA. As MANA has gone form 4 cents to 25 cents.

But in terms of USD πŸš€
9/ Cryptopunks from @larvalabs

They've gone up steadily for 2-3 years, going parabolic in the last few months.

The first 10,000 NFTs on #Ethereum Blockchain.

Currently seem super hyped, but hey, they've proved to stay relevant.
10/ @nba_topshot, seems with Gameplay coming out giving more utility to the NFTs, they may continue to see interest.

Although prices have gone crazy, I'm overall bullish that, since they're licensed, they'll continue to see steady price increase with utility.
11/ @BondlyFinance BCCG NFTs on Opensea.

Why? Because you can stake them to get rewards across the Bondly ecosystem.

Free trading on Bswap.

Airdropped partner NFTs. Kind of 'keys' to the Bondly ecosystem.

Utility IF Bondly goes big.

opensea.io/assets/bccg?se…
12/ Usually I take a gamble and invest very early OR wait it out and let the project/art mature to prove via data, there's price appreciation.

Projects like @TheHashmasks are new, blasted on to the scene, but I'll be watching for a few months to see if they sustain.
13/ There's other projects coming out that I'm excited about.

UFC on @flow_blockchain,
Illuvium on @Immutable X
@PlayEmberSword

Some, of the many to watch out for BETA access.
14/

Basically, as long as the demand continues to increase, your investment should.

Whether it's an artist that's continuously growing their brand or a game/virtual world project that's growing their user base.

I look for signs of the above.

When I see a big #NFT sale, (6-7 figs), this is what I look at to see if legit.

- Is the buyer/seller known?

- Is the buyer new?

- Has the project had big sales before?

- Is it a new project with a random big sale all of a sudden?

- Total users of the project,

1/ πŸ‘‡
- Was the sell price determined by a bidding process?

- Does the wallet have history

- Is the project legit/new?

- Is it a fair price looking at sales history?

Projects/community are realising, the easiest way to keep a project relevant or make new project viral is big sales.
And like I said before a whale can easily throw down $500k or $1M to get eye balls.

There generally is no problem with anon-new buyers but the above when compounded usually means some fishy business going on.

Especially when too many anons

Navigating NFT Twitter Hype.

The good, the bad, the ugly.

Let's explore how whales, traders and investors influence NFT markets.

Thread 1/
2/ Not here to 'call out' or judge. Just bring trade tactics to light.

So newbies can navigate the madness.

Also, 'hype' sometimes happens naturally.

Mostly it's just the community passionately sharing progress and growth which gets accelerated due to crypto $.
3/ This pattern ALWAYS repeats. (Usually by a small % of the community).

1 - Early Investors buy,
2 - They hype/promote
3 - They sell,
4 - They take profits elsewhere,

As long as there's liquidity they can continue the operation.

Truly understand this cycleπŸ‘‡

In the below cases, verified accounts have been hacked and 'rebranded' to impersonate popular personalities/projects.

3/ DM's on Discord, Telegram, etc by Admins, Projects leads, 'friends', influencers, etc.

The below is a Pranksy & DCLBlogger impersonator asking for 'help'.

Devil got scammed 10ETH, HP was safe. But either way, a VERY common scam on social apps. ImageImage
