DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) will change the world πŸŒπŸš€

It's an idea whose time has come. The technology is following close behind.

What is a DAO and why will they change the world?

⬇️ A THREAD ⬇️ What's a DAO?

It's an organization collectively owned & run by its members, governed by a contract written in code πŸ“œ

It can be anything: a community, an investment fund, a charity, even a company. For profit or non-profit 🀯

It's a platform for any kind of group action Image

So @ToppsDigital x @WAX_io published a response to product criticism (kind of), telling customers to 'read the fine print' & jabbing Dapper Labs πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Spoiler alert: They did not read their own fine print.

I can't believe what I read 😱🀯

A Breakdown ⬇️⬇️⬇️ TLDR: Wax said opening packs was not time sensitive. That was untrue.

πŸ”ΈWax disseminated misinformation
πŸ”ΈBlamed Topps
πŸ”ΈBlamed customers for not reading smart contractsπŸ“œ
πŸ”ΈSaid this shows how Wax is superior to @flow_blockchain bc it's a "public blockchain"

Top Shot should increase the eligibility requirements for the next Holo Icon drop, but not for the reasons you think πŸ€”

A THREAD πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ Almost 100k qualified for last week's Holo Icon drop. <3% of those got a pack.

IMO, the requirements were very lenient. You could easily qualify having spent <$200 total on Top Shot πŸ€

"But is this even bad? Packs should be for everyone!"

πŸ‡ Meet Cybele, my first @zed_run racehorse πŸ‡

I spent 5 hours this weekend reading, watching, & learning about Zed Run before buying this horse πŸ“šβœοΈπŸ–₯️

There's a big learning curve, but the virtual world Zed Run has created is INSANELY COOL πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Here's what I've learned β¬‡οΈπŸ§΅ What is Zed Run?

πŸ”ΉA video game/marketplace/WORLD where you can buy, sell, breed, & RACE virtual 🐴 for real πŸ’°
πŸ”ΉRun on ethereum πŸ”³β›“οΈ
πŸ”ΉEntire system of genetics built in 🧬
πŸ”ΉFree & paid races run constantly

Basically, it's owning & racing horses. But online.

It's INSANE 🀯

Kevin Durant Seeing Stars Reward Update ⭐️⭐️

The image shows sales data for the past 7 days per @EvaluateMarket

After a day-2 bump, prices have been declining & now dipping below $400 πŸ“‰

The price is about to eclipse the 7500 LE Durant πŸ˜±β¬‡οΈ Seeing Stars KD: /4182 Mint
Base Set 2 KD: /7500 Mint

I'm really surprised that the SS KD is only $35 more (and dropping) per @AddMoreFunds

Oh man....Conley Welcome to the Family -85% in the last 15 min since challenge end πŸ˜‚

$350 ➑️➑️ $45

πŸ”Ή Conley ASG moment: /2021 mint, currently $109
πŸ”Ή WTTASF Conley moment: ~7,000 mint, price...?

For the record, even I avoided this challenge. Here's why ⬇️⬇️ Image I do not like challenges with awkward supply numbers like this.

Restricted supply temporarily increases challenge moment value but sets it up for a harder crash πŸ“‰

EVENTUALLY the moment will be worthless. BUT short term limited circulation caused a shortage. Image

πŸ“‰ ARMAGEDDON PT 2 πŸ“‰

πŸ’« Rising Stars EditionπŸ’«

In the 20 minutes since the challenge ended, Rising Stars moments are down ~50% based on min-ask right now per @EvaluateMarket

If you thought collectors took a bath on Seeing Stars, just wait ⬇️⬇️ If a collector bought at the bottom of the RS1 market (About $7k AT LEAST), they would lose about $3,500 if they sold now.

SPOILER ALERT: The Edwards reward isn't even going to come CLOSE to making up that difference. I'd be shocked if it even makes up for half (at open).

The @dapperlabs fundraising news is breaking my brain 🀯

(and it's not because MJ is investing, it's because Dapper Labs just became a Unicorn overnight) πŸ¦„πŸ¦„

A thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Here's my *guess* for Dapper Labs' valuation over time.

Today they basically skipped from Series A to ~Series D

Valuation yesterday: ~$70 million
Valuation today: $2.6 BILLION🀯🀯

~40x

They're now one of the ~300 most valuable private companies in the world.

This is INSANE

🐻🐻 3/29 Challenge Update 🐻🐻

Rising Stars 1: $6,870 (-14% since this morning) πŸ“‰
Rising Stars 2: $4,430 (-7.9%) πŸ“‰
All-Star Game 2: $3,890 (-12.8%) πŸ“‰
Seeing Stars 2: $2,410 (-20.7%) πŸ“‰

I'm a little bit worried about marketplace conditions right now ⬇️ There are a number of reasons why the market might be falling:

1. General FUD (like we've been seeing)
2. Lack of new money in circulation
3. Pack drop/Increased supply, etc

But honestly, I really think today's decline is mostly about Seeing Stars 1.

🚨 Only 1 hour left top complete Seeing Stars 1 🚨

Set is only -2% since yesterday morning (currently $1,582) but there are some weird trends happening within the set.

A thread: ⬇️ The two most expensive moments in the set are going in opposite directions.

Zion is -20% in the past 24 hours πŸ“‰
Harden is +10% in the past 24 hours πŸ“ˆ

Zion is totally bottoming out.
