Townhall (AMA) on Twitter Spaces
* Monthly event from now on
* To reach as many people as possible
* Format might change for the next one (difficult to go over all user questions)
3/
* @yawn_rong working on dev, marketing, front end etc. (Realm expansion, partnerships etc). It was too much.
* @yawn_rong & @Jerry10240 will talk about technical things from time to time
* Professional people dealing with professional things (Yawn talking & sharing too much)
4/
* Campaign to reach out and focus on the web 2.0 community (@Strava)
* #STEPN still slowly growing (20K new daily users)
* Mostly people not affected by crash or people who couldn't afford it before
* Still around 900K DAU. Team was hoping to hit 1M but has been postponed
5/
Introduction of @shitirastogi
* Electronics MBA
* Launched "Wall Street Journal" in India
* Moved to work with PepsiCo in the US (digitalisation of global portfolio of power brands)
* 3D printing of food
6/
* Arrived in the UK 7 years ago and worked on AI solutions for posture in workouts
* @shitirastogi isn't involved with any of the AI integration into #StepN though
* @yawn_rong & @Jerry10240 are at the helm of things & running the show
* "More focus will be put on the product"
7/
Current economical issues
* First time bear crypto market in a bear equity market & a bad macro economy
* China COVID & supply suppression
* European war
* USA and the battle on inflation
8/
Why #STEPN will survive (by @shitirastogi):
* One of the few such products in the #Web3 space
* Thousands if not millions of users
* Solid business model
* Given even traditional fit tech companies a run for their money
* Their income and unparalleled business model is rare
9/
Recent updates
* 10 levels of mystery boxes and contain gems, minting scrolls and even #GST
* Lowest boxes became cheaper (img by @StepnUk)
* Within 24h from now people will need minting scrolls to mint
* Socket type minting results has been reduced to 70% (from 85%)
10/
Extra notes:
* Buff to the luck attribute (and epic & legendary sneakers). High luck should receive a better deal than before. Not just the 125% energy trick.
* Activation of the minting scrolls will not cause maintenance.
* Scroll drop chances are similar to gem drop chances
11/
SMAC
* Rolling out the Turing scoring system today
* Learning school
* People not behaving right will receive scrutiny from the app
* Tightening up the anti-cheating mechanism
* A warning to everyone cheating (walking with multiple devices at the same time, GPS spoofing etc.)
12/
DOOAR (#StepN DEX) ()
* In stage 1 team will move liquidity from @PancakeSwap & @orca_so to their own DEX
* In stage 2 everyone will be able to provide liquidity through a website (not in-app).
* Multichain
* For every chain with a realm, have a DEX
13/
* Goal is to no longer print money from thin air but based on external income. A positive cashflow
* Side product
* One of the biggest steps to a long term sustainable product (buyback #GMT & NFT)
* NFT marketplace, SocialFI and others will aid this cause as well
14/
Realms
* #GST is the main mechanic in the app that produces new sneakers
* New realms, team has chance to do things different. More regulated to affect the #GST price
* Important because e.g. if #BSC crashes, it also crashes other realms
* The plan should bring back trust
15/
* Energy bridge: Idea mentioned in the Medium article (stepnofficial.medium.com/stepns-action-…) will be the one rolled out.
* Max 20 energy daily over all realms
* Third realm is meant to track attention for the project. There'll be incentives for people to remain on the older realms as well
16/
Sneaker synthesis
* 5 of the same quality sneakers into a sneaker of a higher quality
* Brand new higher quality sneaker
* Attributes of maximum 20% more
* Sneaker type & gem sockets will be based on vintage
* Cost will be both tokens (#GST & #GMT)
* It's the next feature
17/
How is the team fighting FUD?
* Realms to bring in partners
* DOOAR for external revenue
* Other features the team is building
* Overcompensate the users to have them spending down the road (comparison with Uber & other #Web2 companies)
18/
#GST vs #GMT
* #GST in the short term is almost as important as #GMT in the long term
* Price of #GST is one of the main reasons for user concerns regarding the app
* Multiple burn use cases for #GST are planned to help and improve the price
19/
* #GMT earning will be activated after rolling out all the #GMT use cases. This will take a bit longer than originally planned.
20/

#STEPN #BSC #REALM new user inflow

We don't have access to the #STEPN backend API but let's try to do an estimation by tracking all wallets on #BSC and their #GST txs.

The idea is simple: The first tracked #GST tx in a wallet is considered a new user.

Let's take a look 👇
2/
Three interesting events have been marked in the chart.
- The airdrop to #SOLANA genesis shoe holders: A slight immediate increase in new wallet addresses. Huge delayed impact.
- Launch of SMAC: App downtime impact on new wallets
- #STEPN's action plan: Short term euphoria Genesis holders airdrop: 2022-05-04 SMAC: 2022-06-03 StepN's
3/
Summary:
It's clear that it took some time for user interest to pickup.
The start of the exponential growth begun on 2022-05-19 and peaked on 2022-05-29 with a total of 8943 new daily created #BSC wallet addresses.
As of today we see around 1,000 daily new #BSC addresses.

Alright. @Stepnofficial have launched their action plan (stepnofficial.medium.com/stepns-action-…).
My first question, again.
Who's the communicator of this info? Not the official Twitter?
@shitirastogi did share a thread regarding the article:
Let's take a look 👇
2/
"Cross-realm energy bridge"
I think this goes too far. If they want the other realms to succeed and satisfy partners, they'll need users.

My concerns:

One shoe on #SOL and one shoe on #BSC will suffice to have two energy in the new realm. No advantage to hold more.
3/
1. Most users hold their highest amount of sneakers on Solana and will opt for Solana for #GMT earnings (as they're shared). #GST earnings in the newest realm will probably outperform #GST earnings in older realms (such as #BSC). Why would I stay on e.g. #BSC in that case?

People have been messaging and tagging me in the last few days. I first needed some time to contemplate the actions of the #STEPN team. I'll share some of my thoughts below. 👇

To clarify. I’m not a team member nor ambassador of the project. I’m just an interested investor.
2/
First of all, I’m sure most of you have read the tweet by @Mable_Jiang by now (). If you didn’t, have a read.

The first question I've got is: "Who’s the CEO, decision maker & leader at #StepN?"

Every company has a hierarchical structure.
3/
It’s not entirely clear to me why the communication regarding the replacement of @yawn_rong as a spokesman of #StepN was shared through the personal Twitter account of another employee of the company.

A central source of information is needed. Currently, it's everywhere.

Let's take a step back and re-analyse StepN from afar based on what we know.

Should we be worried about #StepN moving into a death spiral or is this just FUD?

I'll lay out what I know and my thoughts. None of this should be taken as financial advice. 🧵👇
2/
#StepN is an investment which has done extremely well during the BTC downtrend. Until recently. We must stay focussed & vigilant.

Investment is a process. A daily uphill battle. Patience is key.

We all want to make money without opening ourselves up to high amounts of risk.
3/
We do so by working hard, finding bargains and claim any edge we can get.
As a result there is no easy money. It requires dedication and effort.
You want to do better than average and outperform others thus you need to think on a different level as well.
Be ahead of the game.

FUD
Fear - Uncertainty - Doubt

Three words that occur sooner or later in any project you're invested in.
Understand where you put your money. Educate and free yourself from the herd mentality.

Did #STEPN live up to their promises? Something changed? What happened? 👇🧵
2/
Charlie Munger about investing: "It's not supposed to be easy. Anyone who finds it easy is stupid".

It's hard work. A lot of listening, reading, writing and self-reflection. It's my goal to help you sketch the full picture. But in the end, you pull the trigger.
3/
We're in macro-economically difficult times. For months already.
#STEPN has fought the BTC downtrend hitting ATH week after week since its inception. Until now.
But experience is the best teacher. It's not my first rodeo. During times of FUD we need to verify, not believe

- A hectic and emotional week with a mid-week emergency AMA.

- Remember that this project is supported by people meeting up IRL as the live events have shown.
3/
