One for All - Episode 2

Log of my reflection and lessons learnt 1 month into my internship w/ @mrjasonchoi and being on Twitter.
Lesson 1:
Distribution is important, but Quality of Content is more important

My threads underperform the supposed engagement of all the distribution power I'm getting e.g @mrjasonchoi's retweets, @Darrenlautf's The Daily Ape feature and other friends that retweets.
Ironically, my 0 effort @tubbycatsnft tweet w/ 0 distribution help performed better (in % terms) than my Weekly NFT thread w/ hours of effort + distribution help.

Maybe I'm just more talented at memes 😭
No. of followers, engagement and retweets are a vanity metric to many - but to me it is a sign of community endorsement/feedback of content quality.

"People only retweet the best of the best threads because retweets are endorsements and affects their reputation" - @thedefiedge
Bottom line - I need to differentiate myself more & put out content that is uniquely-me so that I can stand out in this space filled with hardworking giga-brains

So from this week on, I will be putting out more thought pieces and analysis!
Lesson 2:
Accentuate Strengths, Work On Weaknesses & Find Your Style

I come from a more entrepreneurial background so I find it easy to analyse a business, ideate and execute e.g improvements, opportunities and new products

Which is why for my first month with @theBlockCrunch
I focused a lot on improving our viewers' experience, suggesting interesting guests and even [redacted 😋]

I wasn't hustling as much to engage in the "investor framework" like a crypto analyst would daily, which was also the point of the mentorship program.
Although it feels good to show off my capabilities, not stepping out of my comfort zone also meant that I wasn't growing (as much as I would like)

People tend to avoid unfamiliarity because it's uncomfortable - the key is to repeat/practice until you're familiar with it!
For me, I will be working on my investment analysis skills until it becomes second nature to me, whilst adding my strengths into the mix!

[Weeb Talk: Just like how Midoriya uses his legs instead of fists like All-Might LOL]

What will you be working on anon?
I have been given the best sensei and head-start an analyst could dream of so it's up to me to fully utilise and make something out of it.

This episode has been more candid than the 1st but I'd rather be honest than put up a false-front.

Join me on my journey of growth 😁

Weekly NFT Juice (21st Feb - 27th Feb)

NFT Bear Market Is Here?! 😭
3rd Consecutive Week of Decreasing Transaction Volume

Let's take a look 🧵
1a: Past 7 weeks' performance (
@opensea
only!)

Transaction Volume has made another new low (since start of 2022 NFT bull-run)

Compared to the previous week, Volume DECREASED by 4.30% Image
But! There are some signs of life

• Volume decrease is lower (-4.30 % vs -18% prev)
• Transaction increasing, albeit slowing down (13.19% vs 17% prev.)
• Users increasing (4.69% vs -0.33% prev)

If this continues, we could see a reversal in NFTs despite macro uncertainty Image

One for All, Instalment 1

In this series, I share alpha I've learnt from @mrjasonchoi (and others) that I think is useful / relevant to you guys

Note: These are my personal interpretation and may not fully represent what they mean
Alpha 1:
Decision Making - Variance Consideration & Regret Minimisation

I was having trouble deciding on the best course of action for a relatively important decision IRL so I asked Jason sensei for his advice.

He shared with me the framework he would use if he were me
Much like trading, what is the potential risk to reward for the possible choices?

Of course, things might still not turn out exactly as you planned for but what we can do is to consider all possible scenarios and make the "BEST" possible decision, given all the facts on hand.

Weekly NFT Juice (7th Feb - 13th Feb)

Is the NFT market going to retrace? 🤨

Series format:
-Performance of general NFT market
-In the Verse (news for crypto-native co.)
-Over the Bridge (news for IRL co. coming in)

LFG!
1a: Past 7 weeks' performance (@opensea only!)

Has the NFT market topped out?

I pointed out that the dwindling momentum over the previous week could signify the start of a retracement in the NFTs market.

This week, Vol & Transactions decreased 21 & 31% respectively.
1b: This particular week (@opensea only!)

The weakened momentum from the previous week carried over but Volume did pick up towards the end.

However, I believe that the increase is short-lived and not indicative of broader market sentiment.

Why I think @Nike & @RTFKTStudios's CloneX is INSANELY genius & imo > @BoredApeYC

A long but neccessary🧵:

- Intro & Stats on project
- Thesis PRIOR to mint
- Thesis POST @Nike acquisition
- Progress thus far
- Upcoming catalysts

LFG ft. my #CloneX no. 57
1/ INTRO

- @RTFKTstudios's CloneX is (initially) a PFP & Metaverse-ready project w/ 20k supply
- 18.8k has been revealed; 8.2k holders & floor of ~14.2 E ($43k)
- ~29E ($88k) now to reveal 1 of the remaining vials
- Largest holder @luggisdoteth owns 348, NONE LISTED FOR SALE 💎
2/ THESIS PRIOR TO MINT

✔ Utility beyond PFP; usable as an avatar in the metaverse
@RTFKTstudios has a high probability of delivering that promise; already recognised as a branded studio amongst crypto-natives
@takashipom involved too
✔ Potential physical drops
