🦄BAGZ supply hardcoded to 4500 (2500 lands and 2000 creatures)
🦄Open BAGZ to reveal either a creature or a land
🦄To farm, users put 1 creature and 1 land into the farming cabinet
🦄1 week to farm a Chad creature
🦄In ascending order of rarity: Normies —> Chads —> Degens
🦄Each creature is associated with a particular DeFi protocol
🦄E.g. Cow🐄 with @CurveFinance
🦄Holding the token associated with the creature increases the chance for it to be upgraded to Chad/Degen
🦄People compete against each other if they are farming the same animal
🦄Land is consumed in farming
🦄Possible that some degen creatures may never appear due to the limited pieces of land available 👀
🦄Airdropped to @opensea users
🦄Initial distribution of sextillion $DUNG
🦄2 pools for farming: DUNG-ETH and MEGADUNG-DAI
🦄Each creature produces a different amount of DUNG depending on their rarity
🦄Holding the token that is associated with the creature
🦄Holding $DEGEN and $FARM
🦄Obtain tools to boost probability. Tools are NFT tokens that are purchasable on Dung-Swap
🦄Creatures and land can be purchased on either @opensea or the Degen'$ Farm vault on @NFTX_
🦄Land is quite scarce and people value them
🦄Arbitrage opportunity: open BAGZ, get land, and sell them 👀
🐄@CurveFinance: 🐄 & CRV are symbols of farming
🐎@Uniswap: Similar symbol
🐐@THORChain: Norse feel. 🐐 associated with black magic
🐇@RariCapital: Young, agile team, similar to a 🐇
🐑@AaveAave: White and fluffy like Aave's logo
🦄Primary target: sell out all $BAGZ
🦄Turn their creatures into 3D models. Farmers can put their Meebits and one of their creatures in a cabinet to create a 3D model of that creature
🦄In the future, 3D creatures can be used in @TheSandboxGame
Blockchain + Web3 is revolutionary, but what is limiting their potential to change the world are the challenges involved in indexing and accessing data on the blockchain itself. @ZettaBlockHQ aims to address this issue.

He discusses anthropology, Web3 and other subcultures, and many other interesting topics with @chaserchapman in this episode of On The Other Side 👇
Background
🔹 An anthropologist
🔹 Is an artist
🔹 A DAO contributor
🔹 Has a Substack, but it’s not really a newsletter, but a cultural report
Substack
🔹 It’s more an anthropological collection of a subculture
🔹 Trying to record the why and the what behind the different projects
🔹 Important to have a bird’s eye view to see the connections
🔹 Is an obsessively curious person. Have always been searching for cool stuff
Today, I'll be sharing the book highlights of @peterthiel's Zero to One. Peter Thiel is a serial entrepreneur who helped to start up many companies, like @PayPal and @PalantirTech, and invested in Facebook.
If he has something to say about startups, I want to know. Read on 👇
There are 2 kinds of progress:
• Horizontal (1 to n)
• Vertically (0 to 1)
E.g. Horizontal progress is about getting existing products distributed to more places (globalization), while vertical progress is about coming up with new products (tech).
From the book's title, you should be able to deduce which is the better kind of progress. Going from zero to one will be hard, but the rewards will be way better than going from 1 to many.
👉 Look for companies that go from 0 to 1 instead of 1 to n.
🔹 People remember the year for all the terrible stuff that happened
🔹 Important to remember the positive events too (e.g. the merge)
🔹 The merge is a transaction inclusion time decrease
🔹 Have multiple zk-EVM implementations that will have a mainnet launch in 2023
🔹 @signinwitheth has seen massive gains in adoption
🔹 Cryptocurrency payments worked during the invasion of Ukraine
🔹 Have always recommended @KeePassXC or @Bitwarden:
🔸 KeePassXC: A completely offline tool. Reserved for extreme scenarios
🔸 Bitwarden: A secure password manager that synchronizes your password database across multiple devices
Now
🔹 Online password managers have advanced quite a bit
🔹 Every reputable password manager encrypts everything on your machine before it goes into the database
🔹 Does not recommend LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane
🔹 For people new to password managers, he recommends Bitwarden
