2/ I have a 🧠thesis on what will keep the metaverse decentralized over the next decade.
That 6529 Army plan is coming in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, no need to delay on the simplest most immediate Team 6529 objective
🚨🚨On-board 100,000,000 people to NFTs🚨🚨
3/ My theory here is that everyone, young or old, loves the feeling of owning an NFT once they have done so.
It does not matter if it is valuable or not, in fact it is much better if it is *not* valuable.
Everyone I have onboarded so far has followed the same pathway
4/ "What is this?" then "OK, you have this silly cat or whatever" and "You can move it around as you wish"
[1 week later]
Happily finding the NFTs they love
This is consumer-grade tech to teach people about digital self-sovereignty.
5/ Facebook and others are working on their metaverses that I assume, in absence of pressure, will be closed.
We have a small window to change the risk-reward dynamics of corporates to be in favor of 'open metaverses' not closed metaverses.
6/ Corporations are simple creatures. They go where the customers are.
Right now, despite this chaos in NFT land, there are maybe 200,000 of us active.
This is pico-🤏
My guess is we need ~100,000,000 onboarded to change the calculus for corporations
7/ "But 6529, 100,000,000 is 99,800,000 more people than 200,000" - this is going to take forever
No fam, it will not, so long as we use the power of compounding.
If everyone brings 2 people on board (just 2), we will get there in ~ 9 generations
8/ How long is a generation? I dunno, that is the only question. If it is about 1 month, then we get there in about a 1 year. If it is 2 months, 2 year and so on.
I actually don't think it is implausible to do it in 1 to 2 years.
9/ Let's start simple:
This month, each of us need to help 2 IRL frens get their first NFT.
I think I can do it, can you anon?
10/ Which one should they get?
The cheapest one possible, that's which one they should get. Better yet, gift them one.
We are not bringing people on board to day-trade NFTs but to prepare them for being sovereign in the metaverse
11/ It is actually very important that you do not try to sell the financial dream.
For all we know, NFT winter is right around the corner and if you are selling riches, well it could all go tragically wrong.
14/ We have a lot more infrastructure to set up to make this happen: OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), Dashboards, Team Efforts, Rewards, etc
6529 will revert with ideas, but the simplest idea is "sign up 2 frens this month"
Let's get started!
15/ The 100,000,000 Project Math:
Gen 0: 200,000 (today)
Gen 1: 400,000 new (600,000 total)
Gen 2: 800,000 (1.4M)
Gen 3: 1.6M (3.0M)
Gen 4: 3.2M (6.2M)
Gen 5: 6.4M (12.6M)
Gen 6: 12.8M (25.4M)
Gen 7: 25.6M (51M)
Gen 8: 51.2M (102.2M)
16/ Which chain should we on-board them to?
It kindof does not matter, just get them on-board
Ethereum: Yes!
Matic: Yes!
Tezos: Yes!
Solana: I guess, Yes!
Cardano: Well....there might be an exception to the rule here

This will be a relatively shorter thread. I do not claim to be an expert on this topic, but there are more projects and more people in DMs on this topic, so wanted to share some initial thoughts
2/ This thread is not directed at established NFT or offchain photographers.
They are fine, going to have massive audiences and distribution and will do very well.
This is for those trying to get established.
3/ Let's start with the general concept that NFTs and their ecosystem (OpenSea, Foundation, SuperRare) give photographers (as with all artists) a vastly vastly better distribution and demand aggregation system.
1/ OK, the Seize The Memes of Production contest winners have been picked. My algorithm was going down the list in chronological order, seeing if I laughed and seeing if I thought the person likely owned the copyright
2/ I am going to post each winner in the thread below. If you are the artist, please confirm in reply that: a) it is your work, b) you release under CC0) and c) your ETH address and 0.10ETH is coming your way.
