2/ The NFT industry is on track to be the cultural backbone of digital value.
If we’re going to go from a couple million NFT participants to billions.
Here’s what you can do to have a leg up,

3/ Focus.
Social media has optimized its ability to pull you into discussions but we need to block out times to achieve things.
Being focussed is a super power. Learn how to get things done. (Timers, good food, no social media time slots, etc)

4/ Social Media.
That being said, social media allowed us to compound our digital growth.
So we can LEVERAGE that growth to enter new spaces, start discussions, quick-start business ideas.
With the whole world wanting to know NFTs, NOW is the time to grow them.

5/ Skills.
Plenty of new skills are in need here, Moderating, virtual event organizing, blockchain development, content creation, networking,
NFT resumes are less about organised learning/credentials and more about the ability navigate and learn.

6/ Network
Through social growth or personal outreach, it’s worth forming connections with people who you can value share with.
Some, (probably you), will become giants and can help each other on that journey.
Whether it's being an artist, knowing a skill set etc.

7/ Money, (wealth)
There is tremendous amounts of money moving to this space.
Find a strategy to make and preserve it. Whether that’s long term investing, founding - selling a company, trading NFTs, providing a service.
NOW is the time to earn.

8/ Strategy/process
Fine tune the strategy that allows you to steadily grow your skills or wealth.
Whether that’s trading or making art.
Continuous growth is in the process.

9/ Understand "Why?"
Don’t understand NFT art? Learn it.
Don’t understand why rocks and squiggles sell for millions? Push yourself to make sense of it.
Weird is the new normal. This is NOT the time to allow your dinosaur brain to lead.
Blank canvas yourself.

10/ Resources
Find your go to resources.
Again, different people have different daily websites they check.
I check opensea, rarity tools, cryptoartpulse, Twitter, discord, Google news, select Twitter bots.
Find and familiarise yourself on what can provide curated info.

11/ Info inflow/curation skills.
Just coz it’s all out there doesn’t mean it's easy to find.
You still need to learn how to curate/cut out the noise.
You could spend 8 hours in a day and only find 15 mins of actionable info.
Curating resources/inflow of info is key imo.

12/ Find your digital tribe.
Over time you'll find people that have the same interests as you who you can bounce ideas off, bring info in and eventually maybe even found companies with!
Lots of big companies start with good friendships in buzzing spaces.

13/ SECURITY
Every second day we learn about someone getting hacked.
It’s sad.
Blockchain is unforgiving. Transactions can’t be reversed afaik so learning how to protect yourself should be priority #1.
Here’s a thread.

14/ Blockchain
The tech behind the JPEG.
It’s through crypto/blockchain that the early investors/participants found the NFT industry.
Learn how blockchain works so you can spot WHY specific blockchain innovation can change and solve certain issues here.

15/ Headspace/exhaustion
This space is mentally fatiguing. Being plugged in daily, processing 100s of decisions, etc puts a toll on the mind.
Whether it’s healthy eating, outside breaks or meditation. Find your reset.
Or this space will wear you down no matter how fun it is.

16/ NFT economies.
NFTs create marketplaces out of digital items. Whether that's tweets or movie clips.
The economic workings of these are mostly the same.
Learning how supply/demand influence these marketplaces is 90% of making money here.

17/ The above items will allow you to be here for years and keep up with the crazy pace of this space.
The longer you're here, the better you'll get at all NFT related things.
You don't have to pick all, just a few will help.
