1/ My three favorite too-old-to-fail #NFT projects:

> RarePepes
> CryptoArte
> CurioCards

The 3 are the oldest in their respective categories

The 3 are still greatly undervalued compared to the 2nd oldest

2/ #RarePepes
The oldest popular NFT project in history

It's older than the 2nd oldest popular project (CryptoPunks) but much cheaper.

Eg:
most expensive CryptoPunk ever sold >> $ 11.7 Million
most expensive rare pepe (a 1/1 piece) >> $300k.

That's 40x room to grow!

3/ #CurioCards
The oldest collectible on Ethereum

It's older than the 2nd oldest Ethereum collectible project (CryptoPunks) and yet much cheaper.

Eg:
global CryptoPunks sales to date: 328k Ξ
global CurioCards sales to date: 9k Ξ

Again, that's 40x room to grow!

4/ #CryptoARTE
The oldest generative art project in NFT history

Older than the 2nd oldest (Autoglyphs) & much older than ArtBlocks

Eg.
biggest #Autoglyphs sale: $1,4 million
biggest #ArtBlocks sale: $2,4 million
biggest CryptoArtes sale: $77k

Again, massive room to grow!

5/ Due to this big price discrepancy, I believe these 3 OG projects have great upside

It doesn't mean these 3 OGs are necessarily going to reach the same price levels of their younger OG rivals

But it's very possible that they reach a fraction of it

Risk/Reward is huge

the fact that these 3 projects
were somewhat more complex to buy/understand than their younger OG rivals
had kept them in relative investing obscurity... Image of Indiana Jones insi...

This recent re-discovery
& the increased ease of purchase
is going to make investing in them more popular

As investors get educated on the intricacies of these 3 projects,
their currently buried historical value is getting unearthed

9/ As the copycat profile-pic project fad loses steam,
& the NFT market goes into a cool down
or perhaps a slump,

NFT $$$ are going to seek refuge in projects that possess intrinsic scarcity & that are fad-resistant
... Image
10/ And there's nothing more scarce & fad-resistant than history.

There's only one year 2016 only one 2017 & only one 2018.

And these years will be forever etched in NFT history as a primal source of scarcity and rarity that withstands passing fads.

They are too old to fail. 3 old very valuable artifac...

Investing clichés can be cheesy...

...but also very true!

These are my favorite TRUE clichés about investing in #crypto/#NFTs

👇🧵

1/25
RINSE AND REPEAT

We obsess with getting that huge sale

The stuff of dreams!

But most fortunes are made from a multitude of small sales, from consistent rinse & repeat

Instead of dream-pricing, price realistic

Realistic pricing = real sales

Real sales = ...

2/25
Real sales = you can buy more NFTs = you can make more sales = You can rinse & repeat!

The same goes for coins, constant profit-taking is the rinse & repeat of coin investing, being a take-profits-whore will make you much richer than eternally waiting for that elusive 100x

Think again. In this thread, I list 24 overlooked domain-picking strategies that could make a lot of money in the coming web3

We all know that 1st names (jake.eth)and iconic dictionary words (gold.eth) are worth a fortune

But there's more to ENS riches than that

No, #squatters are not bad for #ENS.

They are inevitable.

In a free market, you can't simply wish squatters away.

In any free-market namespace, every single name with perceived value will be registered by the market participants as soon as there are enough participants.

1/3 Image
2/3 So since valuable names will always be squatted in any sizable free market, then, the more professional those squatters are the better for the ecosystem.

We don't need fewer squatters (impossible) we actually need more, professional ones.

#ENS $ENS #ENSDomains #Squatters Image
3/3

In sum:

There is one certainty — all unregistered valuable domains will be squatted

So the more of those domains end up in the hands of the professional & ecosystem-constructive squatters the fewer will be left for the occasional & ecosystem-destructive squatters.

* * * * * HOW TO BUY RARE PEPES * * * * *

1/ Since my last thread went viral,
I've been receiving a continuous stream of DMs from people asking how to buy #RarePepes

So here goes the most succinct & simple overview that I could put together

2/ WHY PEPES MATTER?

#RarePepes are the first Art project in the history of NFTs.

They were also very popular—in that sense, they were to Bitcoin what #CryptoPunks are to Ethereum.

This makes their rediscovery one of the greatest opportunities in #NFTs at the moment.
... Timeline showing different NFT projects. RarePepes appears a
3/ WHY ARE RARE PEPES STILL UNDERVALUED?

Because they were damn difficult to buy!

Bitcoin wasn't initially conceived for NFTs,
so until very recently, you needed to get into complex interfaces that kept non-techie investors away.

All of this has changed... Screen capture of a Bitcoin/Counterparty user interface.
