LR's volume as a % of OS for this week > previous week
• 84.6% vs 77.3%
• LR outperformed the general market slightly
Last week's potent hopium worked - LooksRare's organic metrics (filtered for wash-trades) has been improving since 10th March and has been sustainable thus far.
Congratulations to our Web 3 fren!
As LooksRare continues to improve (and OpenSea becomes more censored e.g PudgyPenguin incident this week), I expect more users to prefer decentralised ones like LR.
However, new competitors such as @universe_xyz and @blur_io will also compete for market share.
Many takeaways but here are 2 that I think you should know!
Short thread 🧵:
1. Invest in Missionary-like Founders, not Mercenaries
MISSIONARIES have a vision for the future and are passionate about revolutionizing the crypto space.
They aren't as bothered by coin prices and will continue building even when all odds are stacked against them
MERCENARIES are the opportunistic builders trying to take advantage of the bull market.
They value short-term profits and aren't committed to the long-term success of their project - when shit hits the fan / there's better opportunity elsewhere, they'd jump ship 🤮
To help you navigate better, I created an overview of the General NFT / Metaverse vertical and sorted them into their respective layers & groups.
I also explained them in layman terms for you.
A thread 🧵
1a: BlockChain / Asset Layer
The complicated but secure ver. of an Excel sheet that functions as a database that records data of all assets (type & rules), transactions and balances.
It's the backbone that enables the Web 3 economy to operate.
1b: Metaverse Substrate
The foundation Metaverses are built upon.
Imagine being in a fantasy world, where you get to own land and create experiences (or explore those created by others), interact with people and engage in different activities.
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.
