Building NFTs into video games is creating an interesting new launch model, where you don't have to do the heavy lift of building the whole game before building community & getting revenue.

Early believers get rewarded, you get to help shape games you love... very cool.
Like @AxieInfinity is just getting started and it's already huge.

@crypto_raiders looks very interesting as well.

Game metaverses evolving as their economies evolve is going to be very cool to watch.
Also, the potential for insane revenue generation is so clear here.

People spend $10-20 a month on Fortnite skins which they can't even trade.

People regularly spend $20-40 extra on game launches to get untradeable special items.

Introduce a marketplace though...
Diablo 3 auction house was wild: diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Auction_H…

We're probably in the Nintendo 64 days of what NFT gaming will eventually look like.
Another thing that excites me about this is that video games have generally gotten worse with the advent of in-app purchases and pay-to-win mechanics on mobile creating a high opportunity cost to making epic single-payment games like Skyrim or FO3...
If NFT monetization can create financial incentives for more expansive epic games, that's a big win

Cramming through a programming course is always so mentally exhausting, but then getting to apply it feels fucking awesome.

It's like you gained a new superpower.
Also, name a more banging playlist to work to:

Boom, just rebuilt DeFiCalcs.com in Next, should make it a little snappier

@RohunJauhar Unfortunately no blood test can tell you this.

Optimal diet has a ton of components that go into it. Blood sugar, inflammation, vitamin & nutrient content, body temp, RHR.

You can test for markers for all of these, but then you have to tweak and adjust…
@RohunJauhar Best starting point IMO is getting a continuous glucose monitor from a company like @Levels so you can see what your diet is doing to your blood sugar.

Very common blind spot for most people and has a huge ROI if you learn how your body responds to different foods in that way.
@RohunJauhar @Levels I’d also consider getting one of the pricier @WellnessFX panels to see where you’re deficient for vitamins / minerals, then adjust your diet & supplements accordingly.

Don’t worry about cholesterol, sex hormones, inflammation markers, etc until all other stuff is in line

Let's say an average @AxieInfinity player can earn 400-500 SLP in an 8-hour "workday."

At the current SLP price of $0.26, that's $104 - $130 per day.

That's $13 - $16.50 per hour.

So yeah if you're currently earning minimum wage in the US, you may as well quit & play Axie.
@AxieInfinity If the price goes back up to its peak of $0.40, you're making up to $25 an hour.

GG minimum wage jobs.
Like you can literally chill on your couch on a group call with friends playing a game and earn above minimum wage.

This is *incredible*

Last thread on @HoneHealth.

@Saad_Hone reached out and we’re going to talk, and I appreciate him being willing to engage with someone publicly questioning his company like this.

This thread is about how we can all work together to make this better.
My DMs have been crazy the last few days.

I was far from the only one concerned by tech influencers promoting what I see as a shady-looking testosterone company.

I heard from Founders, Angels, VCs, Employees, Peers.

But very few were willing to call them out publicly.
Which I 100% get.

I was extremely hesitant to start this fight.

And I’m an unfunded, employer-less guy who sits in his backyard writing about crypto.

There’s a big risk to calling out influencer investors.

The more I think about this the more it bothers me.

A bunch of tech influencers with no medical expertise should not be encouraging their huge followings to get on TRT.

It’s irresponsible. Borderline dangerous.
Especially when it seems like these promos were written for them with inaccurate scare tactics baked in.

30 year old men stop naturally producing “hormones”?
Like @packyM you said they rebranded because “Hone is a destination.”

It didn’t have anything to do with the awful reviews for their old brand?

Lots of talk today about men taking exogenous testosterone and a new company helping them do it.

I’ve looked into this area a decent amount and can say pretty confidently that it’s not the slam dunk it seems, and might make the problems worse.

Not something I’d ever take.
If your testosterone is low, that means something in your environment is messing up your normal hormone production.

You need to analyze your diet, lifestyle, exercise, skincare products, plastic exposure, air quality, water quality, and find the culprit.

If you supplement...
Then your body doesn't get the same signals to produce as much and your natural production will slow down FASTER.

Plus you didn't fix whatever was messing you up in the first place!

You just put a bandaid on it.
