1/ Utility META: Inside vs Outside Ecosystem Investments

Since February the market has changed a lot and the vast majority of successful projects are tools, DeFi and other projects with real utility, however, there are some points to be considered🧵

#NFT #SOL #Solana #SolanaNFT
2/ Inside Ecosystem Investments

This means projects are strictly dependent on the NFT market to be successful, some of these utility investments include:

ᐅ Launchpads
ᐅ Escrow
ᐅ Lending protocols to NFTs
ᐅ Marketplaces
ᐅ Organization Tools
ᐅ Alpha Groups
and others
3/ Inside Ecosystem - Questions

In these cases, you need to ask yourself if you truly believe in NFT market.
If you don't believe this, your assumptions reflect that these products do not solve a future need, and therefore you believe they will become worthless projects.
4/ Outside Ecosystem

This means projects that deliver goods and services are not strictly dependent on the NFT market to be successful

In these cases you always have to reflect:
ᐅ The valuation you are paying makes sense
ᐅ Why the project is launching an NFT vs VC/IDO money
5/ Outside Ecosystem

I am personally super interested in Outside Ecosystem projects that's why you have seen me talking about:

@888anonclub
since day 1
@JinkouNFT with 30 discord members
@AncoraPay with 100 discord members
@HawksightCo in January
6/ Final thoughts

In my case, I believe in the market however I still see a lot of pain in front, therefore, I am looking to be peaky on the insider ecosystem and being more aggressive in searching for outside ones, and investing depending on valuation, product-market fit. [...]
[...]

Outside ecosystem investments in my opinion end up being much more complicated to evaluate and you need to view it more as VC.

Please stay safe. Enjoy your day!

1/ My definition of a GREAT "Deep Dive" in a Thread:

My biggest lesson from years of investing in stocks was realizing what it actually means to understand a business to avoid cognitive bias.

Now starting on NFTs, I try to define my framework by applying similar concepts. #NFT
2/ A great "deep-dive" needs to give insights:

ᐅ The roadmap includes value-creation long term?
ᐅ Operators have capabilities to deliver?
ᐅ The community has a "builders" mentality?
and mostly,
ᐅ The community/customers interest will remain stable/increase in the long term?
3/ Starting mistakes

I was wasting time trying to surf every wave only using "hype" as a research tool, this has a lot of issues:
ᐅ Only gives you short term conviction
ᐅ Can be very easily faked (invites, levels schemes)
ᐅ Leave you bag holding things you don't believe in

@SBF_FTX We are still in the very early stages of crypto when it comes to Transaction per Second
@SBF_FTX This is the reality buying NFTs for 500$ to play a game that arent immersive compared to traditional games that costs you 50$ are are super immersive makes no sense.

A lot has to be improved with exception of a few projects like @MiniNations

1/ Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll walk you through various reasons why I think @DroniesNFT is going to be a bluechip project in Solana.

This will help you judge the project quality better, and hence invest better.
2/ Where did I hear about this project?

Luckily I heard @JpegLord talking about this project on @noahkagan youtube channel.
3/ First Differentiator
@JpegLord mentioned that they had worked with Disney and were based in LA but wasn't correct and they clarified

1 of their designers did a freelance project for Star Wars (not the unfold team based in FL/CO)

Transparency is the main philosophy ❤
