Barbados to become first sovereign nation with an embassy in the Metaverse. 🤯

“The Barbadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade signed an agreement on Sunday with @decentraland for the establishment of a digital embassy.

coindesk.com/business/2021/…
“the government is also finalizing agreements with “Somnium Space, SuperWorld and other Metaverse platforms”
“In an interview with CoinDesk, Barbados’ ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, H.E. Gabriel Abed, said that the country intends to expand aggressively beyond this initial effort to build structures and purchase digital land in a variety of virtual worlds.”
“The idea is not to pick a winner – the metaverse is still very young and new, and we want to make sure what we build is transferable across the metaworlds,”
Bruh…that’s crazy

NFT Marketing 101.

How to bring eyeballs to your NFT project, Art, Avatars, or anything you’re working on.

Let’s explore

1/
2/ 8 Years ago I quit my full-time job to learn how to make money on my own.

I made blogs, apps, web projects, etc and ultimately realized if I can't get eyeballs on my projects, there's really no point.

In this new age of digital noise, how do you get people to pay attention?
3/ imo it came down to 3 main things,

- GREAT product
- Building Awareness
- Persistence/Re-iterating through feedback

Multi-million dollar idea for who can build this.

An NFT trading-simulator platform where you can practice NFT investing/trading/flipping with fake ETH.

But still earn the platforms native token based on performance/number of follows, etc.

1/
2/ Challenge would be to bring fungible properties to a non fungible economy.

Can be done with “floors” or multi edition art, (there’s plenty), and expanded upon slowly. (Fractions, traits, etc).

A native token can be worked into the ecosystem.
3/ example,

- to vote which projects are whitelisted onto the platform.

- Stake/burn it to get more “fake ETH”. As it’s “trade to earn (NFTs).”

- Earn it if you perform well or educate.

(Just some ideas).

There are extremely wealthy corps/companies interested in spreading negativity around the NFT/blockchain industry.

And it’s sad the masses fall for it.

Square Enix, Discord, EA, Ubisoft announce their interest and 90% of their core userbase are angry smh.

1/
2/ Honestly, it’s just sad.

This tech is designed to liberate and give control to the end user/creator.

It’s the biggest threat to established companies that take advantage of their power to set rules. Rules they always win by.
3/ The exact same thing that happened to Bitcoin, (Years of attempted suppression),

Now happening to NFTs.

“NFTs are bad for the enviro” - there is millions of dollars worth of NFT transactions happening in enviro friendly blockchains.

Ok What’s this Metaverse thing everyone keeps talking about?

Books, Ready Player One, random nerds on the internet and now Facebook?

The next decade is going to be LEGENDARY.

1/ Thread 👇
2/ What is the Metaverse?

There’s a lot to unpack here.

Wikipedia has a good line on this,

"Metaverse is a speculative future iteration of the Internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe."
3/ The term initially made an appearance in the book “Snow Crash”.

I’m not going to fake it. I didn’t read Snow Crash.

But I DID watch Ready Player One and was like HOLY SHIT this is the future.

What does it mean to help projects build?

In the NFT/blockchain industry, founders and their community can be business partners.

Let’s explore the many ways you can buy + hold + BUILD.

1/ Thread.
2/ Blockchain/NFTs have an interesting customer-company/artist relationship where the user/collectors are incentivised to help.

Unlike just buying a Netflix sub, in the NFT world that sub can be an NFT that can also be an investment.

So why just hold when you can help grow?
3/ Building could mean many things.

Here's some ideas that come to mind including things I've implemented and seen around in the last 3-4 years.

The future is about shared incentive models for all parties involved.

What’s going to happen to NFTs if ETH and BTC Moon?

Is $10K ETH or $100K BTC good or bad for the NFT industry?

Let’s explore multiple scenarios,

1/
2/ I was fortunate enough to find NFTs in 2018, when the whole crypto market was “crashing”.

2018-2021 has been a roller coaster, the below is what I’ve seen.

Just my thoughts NFA*. The below is all in terms of ETH, (crypto), not fiat.
3/ Q4 this year, (now), much of the industry is expecting BTC and ETH, subsequently the rest of the alt coin market to hit all time highs.

BTC to $100k+
ETH to $10k+

If this plays out, I expect a shake up in the NFT market in the short term.
