Too many people with victim mentality in the NFT space (and the world, in general).

Ask better questions, and you’ll get better answers.

A Sat morning rant thread. (1/x)
1. “Oh but gas wars are so expensive.. I can never get anything cheap at mint.”

Instead of complaining, how about exploring other platforms that don’t face that problem? @solana, for example?

Granted, it’s new and there are issues. But hey, no gas wars!
2. “Oh but he had so much capital to start with, I don’t. If I had that much ETH, I could do it too.”

Sorry bud, that’s life. Someone with capital, did the work you didn’t do, took the risk you didn’t take, made the sacrifices you didn’t make, to get there.
3. “He’s listing for sale! He’s DUMPING! Help, what do we do?”

It’s called taking profits, you dweeb.

If your decision to buy or sell relies on someone else decision, sorry, but you’re NGMI long term.

Think for yourself, have conviction in your buys, or don’t buy.
4. “I DM-ed him on Twitter, IG, Discord to ask him what he thought about my NFT, what rank is it, how much is it worth, what the future holds, what he’s buying next, but he’s NOT REPLYING. What an ass!”

Errmm okay… there’s 1 ass here for shure.
5. “I bought into this NFT 3 days ago, but there hasn’t been any major announcement, tie up w big brands or celebs. No major announcements, and price is falling. It’s a RUG!”

Hey bud, you took 9 months to come into this world. Chill tf out and have a beer.
6. “Oh, but {somebody} started buying {something} {sometime} ago, that’s why they are so stacked. They have it easy!”

That’s called foresight and taking risks. Nobody called me a genius when I bought BTC/ETH in late 2016.

You can’t turn back time, work with what you have now.
Now that I got that out, here’s something constructive and positive so that you get an extra edge in this highly competitive and fast moving space. 👇
𝟭. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

Just looking at the upcoming NFT launches on Rarity Tools gives me a massive headache.

They pretty much all look the same, and most may fail.

Ask yourself: "Am I comfortable buying and holding for the next __ months/years? If yes, then buy."
𝟮. 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲

This may not be applicable for those on a smaller ETH capital. But same principles still apply here.

Don't put a large % bet on any single 1 NFT. Just 1 failure can set you back for a long time.

Practise appropriate portfolio allocation. YMMV.
𝟯. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸

NFTs aren't going away anytime soon, so constantly checking floor and refreshing ain't gonna do you no good.

Talk a walk. Read a book. Do some (actual) work. Spend time with the family.

You'll make more profits with far less stress by disconnecting.
𝟰. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Said this before, saying this again.

Too many wants to make life-changing money in record time. Only a few will.

Think in months/years/decades, not minutes/hours/days.

If your NFT buys give you anxiety, you're gambling.
𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Who you hang around (or follow on CT) with will make or break you.

Hang with pleebs, become a pleeb.
Hang with whales, become a whale.

It is inevitable, because you learn to think, speak and act like them. And your results WILL show, over time.
𝟲. 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀

I know, this one is a controversial one. Shouldn't you HODL if you have conviction, you hypocrite?!

There's nothing wrong in taking some chips off the table occasionally, esp in profits. It's healthy, normal and what everyone should consider doing.
𝟳. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲

I make alot of decisions based on data, some of which isn't free.

Some of them are: @icy_tools, @nansen_ai, wgmi.io, @DuneAnalytics, @parsec_finance, @DappRadar etc.

Using it to formulate my thesis gives me immense joy.
𝟴. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱

If you are worried you will lose all your NFT monies, you're over-leveraged. Trim down, up to the point that you can sleep peacefully at night.

That's how you have the headspace to make better decisions to win.
Oh and yes, I just realized its only FRIDAY. Totally lost track of time...

That's what NFT does to you, it makes you daft.

My personal thoughts on what needs to be done, in order to bring more legitimacy to this entire industry.
Share this with people you care about.
Stay safe, and always DYODD.
Together, WAGMI.

This industry is still full of shady characters, and the ONLY way to avoid being rugged is simply to educate ourselves!
Stay smart and stay safe.
1Ξ = 1Ξ.

Love you guys.
The thread that started it all..

Questions are still left unanswered.

If you are NOT COMFORTABLE with the project you are vested in, it is time to trim down or exit.

Take a profit or take a loss.

Sure beats a slow rug.

I've seen it in shitcoin, defi, sure don't wish to see it in NFTs again.
No mention of any project in particular. I have said enough for now, you make your own decisions.

Do not DM me to ask me to do any due diligence in your projects.

Do your own homework, and own your decision.
So what’s best way to not get rugged or scammed?

It’s not to weed these people out. Like roaches, they will find a way to survive and come back again. 🪳

Cut one head, two grow back.

The way to win, is to EDUCATE ourselves.

And that has been my sole purpose since day 1.

Just when I wanted to sleep early, I may have uncovered much more dirt that needs to be mentioned. Or, I can't sleep well...

Because MORE unsuspecting people may get rugged in the next few upcoming NFT projects.
Some context, for those new here:



@Immortalznft still has not publicly stated their stance yet, other than a Youtube video they posted here:



Not sure why title mentioned 'to the moon'...??
Screw sleep, if this can help even 1 person from NOT minting these projects, it's worth it.

Here we go... again.

1. WEBSITE

Ahh, the most important element. The gateway to the internet. Surely, of a huge project this scale, there has to be lots of planning before hand, and the website must be registered months ago right?

Let's see.

NFT prices vs ETH prices.

Did a quick side-by-side analysis of NFT floor (from @DuneAnalytics vs ETH prices from @CoinMarketCap over the last 30 days.

Observations Below: ⬇️
1. During periods of ETH volatility to the downside, NFT seems to perform better as investors may want to seek better 'perceived returns'.
2. When ETH trade sideways, NFT seems to perform well too. Also helps that during Aug, NFT got a TON of media and international attention.
