* * * * * * THE 13 TYPES OF NFTS * * * * * *
* * * * & Why They Matter to Investors * * *

1/ This is a summary of my looong video on the 13 types of NFTs with the main takeaways.

(Video here: )
#NFTCommunity #NFTinvesting #NFTs

... 13 circular images representing the thirteen types of NFTs.
2/ I divide the 13 NFT categories into:

A. ESTABLISHED
#NFTs that already move significant amounts of $$$

B. TENTATIVE
#NFTs that are not moving much $$$ but show promise

... Diagram. At the top is written: 'NFT TYPES'. In the left col
3/ NON-PHYSICAL ART

Comprises #digitalart but also #jpegs of physical art (photographed canvases, illustrations...) sold as jpegs on NFT marketplaces

Due to megasales like @Beeple's this category got all the headlines during the 1st NFT Mania of Feb-Apr'21

Then focus moved to On the left sales page for a painting of Sean Jantzi on the
4/ COLLECTIBLES

Stars of the second NFT Mania (Jul-Sep 2021)

Evergrowing prices of #CryptoPunks
& rise of several avatar (PFP) collections like @BoredApeYC created a new gold rush

However, when investing froth goes flat, many of the copycat PFPs are expected to go to 0.

5/ COLLECTIBLES II

That's why some investors are betting on #historicNFTs Unlike PFPs, these have absolute scarcity.

There're only so many collections from 2016-18
Nobody can make more.

In the video, I discuss my 3 favorite & still cheap:
#RarePepes
#CurioCards
#CryptoArte At the bottom the logo of NFT Collectibles and the text 'His
6/ SPORTS MEMORABILIA

Partly overlaps with collectibles but has own specific buyers & features

@NBATopShot is current leader, was as smart as to offer what physical sportscards couldn't—video

@SorareHQ innovated by mixing cards & fantasy sports

Next earthquake? @NFL NFTs

... At the top the logo of the sports memorabilia NFT category a
7/ VIDEO GAME ASSETS

The #AxieInfinity price explosion started the 2nd NFT Mania. But soon after focus was on PFP collectibles.

Reason? Unlike #PFPs (which can be churned out superfast) it's not easy to copycat Axie in a few weeks.

Video game development takes years!

But...
8/ VIDEO GAME ASSETS II

This hasn't prevented investors with foresight (most famously @Elliotrades & @ZssBecker) from starting to bet big on proto-projects that are years away from being operative.

Why such bullishness?

Because... The icon of the video game NFTs category nex to the text 'Ga
9/ VIDEO GAMES III

..because #NFTGames have:

1 Foolproof use case
Instead of losing assets when you stop playing you can sell them

2 Eager target
Gamers already spend a lot on assets. They'd be thrilled to make money from them

3 Tech-savvy target
Gamers are tech-literate

10/ VIDEO GAMES IV

#PlayToEarn is the sexiest value proposition in the entire Crypto Space

#GamingNFTs will be the killer application for the Crypto Space

Who could say no to getting money for indulging in their favorite hobby?

It is just a matter of WHEN not of IF.

11/ VIRTUAL LAND

Virtual Worlds have failed in the past (@SecondLife)

And current Virtual World projects like @Decentraland may as well fail

In the case of Decentraland, the tech is still clunky & user adoption is low

And yet investors keep buying land there because... The logo of virtual land NFTs next to the text 'Virtual worl
12/VIRTUAL LAND II

They know that
#Metaverse = 3D Social Media

And if 2D SocialMedia made billionaires imagine what a #3DSocialMedia platform'd make

Investors want in for any potential candidate that could become the 3DFacebook of 2030

Even Facebook wants to beat itself to it The logo of Virtual Land NFTs next to the text 'Metaverse =
13/ MEME NFTs

Another overlap: #Memes can be considered digital art.

But they are so culturally & socially distinct that they deserve their own category.

Also, they've been non-stop breaking sales records.

Full list of top sales >>> scarce.guide/most-expensive…

#Memeconomy At the bottom the logo of the Meme NFTs category and the tex
14/ DOMAINS

For just $5 a pop, you can get names such as cryptovideogames.eth (just got this one myself sorry) whose prices could skyrocket if @ENSdomains become the domain system of the #cryptospace.

Yes, nothing is certain, but the opportunity cost here is just too big.

... Logo of the Domain NFT category next to text: 'Cryptodomains
15/ DOMAINS II

You have to also pay gas fees & you have to be *patient*
#Domains are very illiquid, sit & wait investments

But #ROI can be enormous

Very few people even know about #ENSDomains & yet we already had sales like these: Icon of the Domain NFTs category next to the text: 'Cryptodo
16/ DOMAINS III

More info on this poorly known yet growing category:

17/ TWEETS

Despite 1 huge sale (Dorsey's 1st ever tweet for $3 million) the rest of #tweetNFT sales have been small.

What's worse, if you go to the @Cent tweet marketplace you can see that very few sales took place after the end of the 1st NFT Mania.

Is this space over?

...
18/ TWEETS II

Not necessarily. NFT categories often go through bear cycles

And even if you think buying tweets is dumb, many dumb things have succeeded

I call this phenomenon: 'So Dumb It's Good'
EG: #Dogecoin, #EtherRocks, #CryptoTitties

TweetNFTs sure can have a renaissance Icon of the Tweet NFT category with the text 'Tweet NFTs. So
19/ #MUSICNFTS

Another tentative NFT category:

> Not a dedicated #musicNFT marketplace (although there've been attempts)

> a few high-profile sales but not much else

> most those sales were music memorabilia or art/music combos rather than music proper

The problem?... Icon of the music NFTs category next to the text 'Music NFTs
20/ MUSIC II

The problem is >> the business model

When somebody figures out a way to use NFTs to provide real & distinct added value to the music consumer, then #musicNFTs will 🚀

Will projects such as @join_royal & @band_royalty manage to cut the biz model gordian knot? Icon of the music NFT category next to the text 'Music NFTs.
21/ LITERARY

#LiteraryNFTs have the same problem as Music NFTs >> lack of a business model to sell #bookNFTs in a way that benefits the consumer.

However many experiments at the art/literature intersect, such as @etherpoems_ , are happening within the #cryptowriters community.
22/ PHYSICAL REAL ESTATE

The #tokenization of Real Estate can be a revolution:

1 by dramatically reducing red tape & intermediaries when selling properties

2 by giving smalls investors access to very expensive properties via fractionalization

... Icon of the physical Real Estate NFTs category next to the t
23/ PHYSICAL REAL ESTATE II

Via NFTs, investing in farmland or commercial RE could be akin to owning stocks in dividend-giving companies

As of today, this space is still very undeveloped. But 1st NFT home sale in history already took place by @PropyInc at @seen_haus

... Icon of the Physical Real Estate NFTs category next to the t
24/ PHYSICAL ART I

Physical art #tokenization will gamechange

Fine art investing > extremely illiquid

Only so many billionaires looking to buy multimillion-$ artworks at any given time

Dividing ownership a la @MasterworksIO but using NFTs will make owning art = stock owning Icon of the Physical art NFTs / Fine art NFTs category next
25/ PHYSICAL ART II

>small investors will get access to hyperexpensive blue-chip art

>blue-chip art trade will get perfect liquidity

Who keeps the fractionalized artwork tho? An idea would be renting or museum lending.

Win-win: more publicity for owners/free art for museums Icon of the physical art NFTs / fine art NFts category next
26/ FUNCTIONAL

The last one. #FunctionalNFTs rather than 1 single type are many (academic degree NFTs, supply chain NFTs, tickets,medical records...)

But all of them share one thing in common: they are not assets—the NFT is used as a tool to achieve some id/logistics goal.
... Icon of the functional NFT Category next to the text 'Functi
27/ I left out of some microtypes that were too specific or too rarely traded to deserve a full category

EG:

USERNAMES > @Decentraland usernames can be sold on OS

CODE > Although there's been 1 huge code transaction, 1 instance doesn't make a category

* * * * * 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
...

#NFTcommunity #NFTcollector Pepe The Frog with the text 'How to Buy Pepes'
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.

The oldest popular NFT project in history

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

most expensive rare pepe (a 1/1 piece) >> $300k.

That's 40x room to grow!

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

Again, that's 40x room to grow!
