Upcoming 13/08/2021
[1] Hellllloo everyone
We have 4 projects dropping over the course of tomorrow and 1 with a surprise drop date/time.
I've taken some feedback onboard and have inserted a new 'Stars' column. The stars are out of 5 and reflect my feelings on the project.
[2] My feelings encompass both how bullish I am on it and how much I like it. If I'm bullish + like the project, then 5 stars. If I'm bullish but am a bit meh then less. Like everything else I do - its not an exact science but I hope it can provide some guidance.
[3] I'll start off quickly with @BullieverIsland and @TheBirdHouseNFT. I don't have too strong feelings about either of these projects - except that both seem to have a bit of a disparity between their Twitter and Discord numbers. I haven't visited either of their Discords so I
@BullieverIsland@TheBirdHouseNFT [4] make no comment on the level of engagement. My feelings for both are that they seem to be the standard animal-avatar projects that have been flooding the market recently. If you mint either, you probably have a 50/50 chance of flipping for a profit immediately post mint.
@BullieverIsland@TheBirdHouseNFT [5] long term wise - I think it will be difficult (but not impossible) for these two projects to stand out. Good luck to all those that are choosing to participate. The market is pretty crazy - I think I saw some vegetable Pokémon project mint out today...
@MinimintsNFT [8] where the community gets to vote on the script. All round seems like a novel project that has potential. It's following isn't too bad either - could obviously be higher, but the niche it's tackling isn't huge so I didn't expect it to have an enormous following base anyway.
@MinimintsNFT [9] Next up is @Monster_Blocks. This is my favourite one of the night (excluding @BONEHEADSSSS but we don't know their exact mint date/time yet). The project gives me a breathe of fresh air, the art is very reminiscent of studio ghibli and the dev team behind the project are
@Monster_Blocks [10] are GOOD people. The dev team behind it @Mike_Lazar and @cst2OO6 are also community reps for @alphabettyNFT. I think @alphabettyNFT - in terms of social impact and direction - is one of the best projects out there. If you've been following me for a bit, they were on my
@Monster_Blocks@Mike_Lazar@cst2OO6@alphabettyNFT [11] spreadsheet and I had commented that a breakout could be coming as the number of unique owners and average followers was consistently rising day on day. Looking back, I wish I scooped up the floor at 0.04 because it's somewhere close to 3x of that now.
@Monster_Blocks@Mike_Lazar@cst2OO6@alphabettyNFT [12] but price action aside, the project has a bigger purpose than just 'make loads of cash bro' and I respect that. @Monster_Blocks is high on my list for a similar reason. The dev team seems to be very focussed on growth - with promises of airdrops to holders at least twice a
@Monster_Blocks@Mike_Lazar@cst2OO6@alphabettyNFT [13] year, competition for the most aesthetic compilations etc. To top it all off - I do really like the art AND its social numbers are great. I think this one will do well, so much so that I almost don't want to post this because I know it's just going to add to the impending
@Monster_Blocks@Mike_Lazar@cst2OO6@alphabettyNFT [14] gas war. But, what's life without sharing right? The last is @BONEHEADSSSS. There is A L O T of hype behind this one - and rightfully so. The team has set a date range (12 Aug - 16 Aug) as their mint date with no specified mint time. I think I read something that they're
@BONEHEADSSSS [15] waiting for an opportune moment in re to gas prices. They have a system in place for participating members in their Discord to get an email that will go out a couple hours before the mint goes live. I think that's pretty cool and pretty indicative of the dev team's
@BONEHEADSSSS [16] priorities when it comes to this project (that being community first). It's things that like this that make a difference between fostering a community of holders vs a community of flippers undercutting each other on OS.
Project wise - the roadmap is very very interesting
@BONEHEADSSSS [17] minters get a bonehead and also an undisclosed amount of bone tokens - which can then be used to purchase collectibles and accessories that can be merged with their NFT to affect its rarity (this function goes live in September). The direction of this gives me @ethlings
@BONEHEADSSSS@ethlings [18] vibes with about 300% less complexity (sorry @ethlings). I'm sure I'm not the first (and defs not the last) to cover this project. The numbers behind this project is great, the Discord seems to be constantly on - usually a battle between people asking 'wen drop' and the
[19] others shouting that it's not just a mint and dump project. All round good vibes + good direction.
Well - that's a wrap for today folks. I'll be looking at minting me some @Monster_Blocks. If the price drops post mint, I'll be picking up some more. Tbh, I'm getting a bit
@Monster_Blocks [20] sick of this whole mint and flip routine. I feel like it's taking some years off me. Moving forward, I'm going to try focus on identifying projects with more long term potential, projects that I will be happy/proud to be supporting - even if it's causing a temporary loss.
[21] oh yeah, if you've reached out to me re my earlier post on helping me develop this project into something bigger - I've read your message. I may not have had time to get back to you yet but I definitely will.
Thank you all for your time and support and I've honestly never
[22] been part of something like this in my life. It continues to amaze me how this is growing, how supportive all of you are and how many of you actually read my stuff LOL.
Five days ago I had 0 followers so I want you all to know that I appreciate and cherish every one of you
[23] that's it! good night ☺️☺️

I know the day isn't over yet - but I'm doing my recap now with information that was captured a couple hours ago.
Over the course of last night / this morning - we had 6 projects drop. The left column seems to show that 5 of the 6 are in the green
[2] but don't be deceived. The projects with the red box have close to 0 volume. Their floor price has little to no value on the performance of the project. In reality, the only drop that performed well this morning was @JunkyardDogsNFT. I don't think this was that surprising to
[3] many people as this drop had a fair amount of hype/anticipation in its lead up.
For our two gaming NFTs @GoGalaGames's Vox and @AradenaWarrior - we're seeing a slow down in price while its unique owners, volume and average following are still increasing. I would say that
Late post today (was a bit hectic) but I am here now. Didn't have time today to do the 'Significant Twitter Followers' column - but also I'm still trying to figure out how I want to tweak it moving forward. Any suggestions would be greatly
[2] appreciated.
On tonight's list we have 5 projects coming out tomorrow. I'm probably only going to address three properly - @AIA_NFT and @tarfishnft just don't excite me that much. In particular the former has too big of a difference between twitter and discord numbers for
@AIA_NFT [3] me to believe that there's big community supporting the project. The latter just doesn't interest me too much - but I've been wrong before.
Recap 11/08/2021
[1] I had a bit of spare time so today's recap is coming in a bit earlier
Projects above the blue line have not been updated, their next update will come 1 week after their Mint Date
@NinjaVillageNFT - I think it's safe to say at this point that this project
@NinjaVillageNFT [2] isn't going anywhere (RIP my 5 mints). It's a shame because I was/still am a big fan of Naruto and I thought that there would be a good niche for anime fans to ape into this project. Perhaps I should've known better - the following behind this project wasn't anything
[3] significant and the artwork could definitely do with some improvement. Well, we live and we learn. I would still be interested in a new project that comes in to try and capitalise on this niche. But in order for @NinjaVillageNFT to turn anything around, I would need to see a
I'm about 4 beers deep after a long day of work so let's see where this goes.
People have been asking how the 'Significant Twitter Followers Number' metric works - and the answer is, it doesn't really.
[2] by itself, the metric is probably as arbitrary as it could be. I will probably fiddle with how it works in the days to come - but right now, it's just me scrolling the project's twitter followers and identify accounts that are have (1) 2K+ followers; and (2) the accounts are
[3] followed by people that I trust / also follow. This is only my third day doing this so expect changes to come! If anything, the metric just adds colour to the other numbers.
Recap 10/08/2021
[1] I want to start today's recap with a disclaimer that I am not involved in any project, all data shown is to the best of my ability at the time of drafting, and non of this should be used as financial advice.
[2] Projects above the blue line have not been updated. Their next update will be 1 week after their Mint Date.
The biggest news of today is, without a doubt, @queenship_. I was at work while the story unfolded (I actually had the mint page open waiting when the drama exploded)
@queenship_ [3] I'm a lawyer by day so I believe in due process and and innocence until proven guilty. I won't comment on the strength of the claims against the project but this whole project is about the correlation between the success of a project and the strength of its community
