0/ Time to start adding some more quality Horses to @BigBrainStables.

We were lucky to be investors in @photofinishgame but the amount I am spending on Horse Tickets and PFPs is MANY multiples of the check size I was able to get in the round. 1/ My thesis on Horse Tickets is buying demand has not yet picked up so still quite a bit of opportunity to be had. Why is this the case?

Simple. It is quite complicated and takes time/energy to understand the mechanics of racing/breeding to find good value in horse tickets.

0/ Some random thoughts on this lovely Sunday...

If you are flipping NFTs, you may do good, but those who absolutely crushed and changed their lives were those who HELD with conviction. @DegodsNFT were avail to all at 4-7 SOL forever. BUT could you hold through the pumps? 1/ If you post over 50+ tweets a day I most likely have you muted.

Nothing personal, but I am trying to protect my time and attention. A feed full of the daily drama that is meaningless, while fun, adds little value in the long run. It's just noise and is distracting.

0/ Here are some of my thoughts on the current market...

I can't predict if market will go up or down. Very few can. So I play the LONG game. 80%+ of my wealth is locked in early stage investments via SAFTS, VC Funds or long term locked tokens. My time horizon is long. 1/ I do NOT actively trade, but a lot of my liquid positions are down and I am feeling pain just like you most likely are if you hold any coins.

Still most of my buys I have some level of conviction, so not selling much.

0/ Some random thoughts on this lovely Saturday morning...

I take most weekends off to step outside and relax. If you are feeling regret, sad or just depressed you missed the most recent NFT to pump. Turn off your computer or do something else. Trust me. Mental health > All. 1/ Influencers/Whales control your buying decisions as well as your emotions. You love them when they pump your bags, hate them when they don't or FOMO in along with them to be on their team. This is no different than IRL in reality. Celebs control our IRL purchasing patterns.

0/ FOMO is a REAL problem. We ALL fall into it. Nobody is immune. Why? Nobody wants to miss the next X.

The next X could be anything.

The next ETH
The next BTC
The next Uniswap
etc... 1/ $OHM was shilled relentlessly as the FUTURE of Defi. The NEW reserve currency of the world. I heard it all. All from some of the SMARTEST people I know. It was gonna be a multi trillion dollar asset.

FOMO was intense. You felt dumb if you DIDN'T buy.

0/ With the Solana network halted, let me post about some random thoughts on what I been sweeping and other random shit on this LOVELY Saturday... 1/ First off, this Network halt is NOT good news. L1 competition is only going to get stronger. The amount of newer L1 projects I am seeing raising rounds is INSANE. $SOL is still my biggest bag, but Solana is gonna have to deliver on its TPS promises at some point.

0/ This comparison just kind of hit me..

NFT communities seeking WLs for new HOT mints
is VERY similar to:
VCs seeking allocation in Seed stage companies

Sifting through 100's of companies (NFT projects) finding ones they think have the most potential to invest (get WL) in.. 1/ I have never launched a hyped mint, but I ASSUME these projects get hit up by pretty much every NFT community/DAO asking politely for WL spots for their members so they can add value to their existing holders.

Makes sense. BUT what VALUE ADD do these communities really offer?

0/ Been thinking...

If a project never gets to the point of generating significant trading volume, WHAT sustainable SUBSTANTIAL revenue streams can an NFT project create besides royalties??

Sure Mint revenue is a STARTING point, but that runs out at some point. Then WHAT? 1/ This triggered an IDEA...

Why doesn't an upstart marketplace like @AlphaArtMarket or @BlueDiamondsNFT partner up with X NFT projects and offer up 50% of the tx fees in combined total.

EX: @MonkeDAO gets 5% of all tx fees. @DeGodsNFT DAO gets 5% of all tx fees, etc...

0/ Love it when one of my conviction bets goes PARABOLIC. Some think I got LUCKY. I just put the TIME in. Accumulated a LARGE position in @ichifarm as proof with my post below. Accumulation price was $5.50ish.

Price is currently at ~$50 and been UP only for a while. 1/ Currently up a cool $5-10M on this one. This is the point MOST would sell. NOT me. Conviction is still high on this one. May regret it, time will tell :)

I don't make a ton of conviction bets but when I do, I go BIG and HODL!

More on what ICHI is 👇

0/ I have missed doing my Twitter spaces, so gonna do better in trying to plan them in advance.

I will do 2 a week starting next week. Start time around 12, 1 or 2 PM EST. 1 to 1/2 hrs long.

Hardest part for me is selecting interesting topics, people will actually care about. 1/ Here are some topics I have in mind...

- Upcoming NFT Marketplace Spotlight - Bring awareness to all the new/under exposed NFT marketplaces out there.
- Web 3 Gaming Spotlight - Self Explanatory
- Defi Spotlight - focus on newer Defi protocols

0/ Let me shine some light on a few projects. As always NONE of this is paid, they have no idea I am posting it...

I mint for FUN as I like to support the CREATIVES and GOOD people.

PREFACE: ANY and ALL mints are RISKY. You may lose all your money. DYOR. 1/ @SkullDiv - By my buddy @DaliCommas. One of the realest in the SOL community. Chatted with him plenty of times. Always humble and I respect his hustle. Mint opened up a bit ago at 0.66 SOL per. Minted a bit. Cool concept of pairing with SOL communities. Yo @HowdyDao, Am I In??

0/ Let me give ALL new drops a KEY piece of advice.

Do NOT use BACKGROUND color as a CORE attribute.

If your generator outputs 5 of the SAME EXACT character with ONLY background color as different, FIX IT before launch. IT LOOKS BAD! 1/ Sooooo....I was finally coming around to OOGI OOGI with the @BabyApesNFT. Art is differentiated JUST enough. Found some solid 2 Attr ones for cheap & was ready to buy. Then scanned @howrareis. DAMNIT. They used background a CORE Attribute and NOW have DUPLICATE APES!

0/ Quick story time....

Before I became SolBigBrain roughly 2 months ago I was one of the more active UNKNOWN investors.

Got in EARLY in a ton of the BEST performing projects. One of my favorite deals I got in early though was @ParallelNFT 👀👀
1/ They just announced their NEW fundraising round led by @paradigm at a $500M valuation. They are absolutely CRUSHING IT.

This is even more validation for the team that they are onto something HUGE & still relatively EARLY.

0/ OK lets do the thang again with a thread focusing on UNDER THE RADAR projects that have YET to drop. Requirement sub 1000 Twitter Followers...

Please DYOR, it is a landmine out there with shady projects/operators. BUT still plenty of great ones to support as well!

LETS GO... 1/ @e4f_NFT - Only 243 Followers. Talked to the team. Liked em. They show the art creation process, lay out the vision on their Medium with how they envision it all working. A sleeper at the moment and they deserve more attention...

0/ Things move VERY fast in crypto and clearly this strategy below no longer works. Mint fatigue has set in a on the higher cost mints. No worries, I got you. Key with winning is you MUST adapt.

PS: The below is Satire in case you don't understand my humor :) 1/ The NEW formula to PRINT $$ on NFTs

Lets go step by step here:

STEP ONE
- Pick ANY Theme - Animals work fine here
Pixelated or similar style of any successful project will do. Pay a designer 10-20K. Grab traits from any number or projects out there, or get creative. Simple.

0/ Well looks like projects creating CUSTOM pieces of me is on TURBO.

Honestly, I am flattered by all the COMPLIMENTS and LOVE you all are showing me, but I want to be CLEAR that a custom PFP given to me is NOT an ENDORSEMENT by me. With that out of the way, lets peep some... 1/ @SolSlimesNFT - They were kind of enough to have their artist deliver me a baby Big Brain. As stated in DM by the team "this is just a gesture of my gratitude". Give this project a look. Not a super hyped one, but one with a cool vision. Read their medium article.

0/ So for todays drops, quick thoughts...

@InfinityLabsNFT - 5:30PM EST - 2.5 SOL 8,888

2.5 SOL is steep at 8,888 BUT I can say I have been asked by 5-10 people in DMs my thought on this one. Demand seems to be HIGH. Still it's A BIG amount! ~$3.1M. Undecided. May mint a few. 1/ @eternalbeingnft - 8 PM EST - 2.5 SOL 11,111

37K Discord members, @LILUZIVERT associated somehow and has it as his PFP. He has 8.5M Followers. HUGE raise here. ~$4M. Hype may be here as celeb backed and normies may be buying. Maybe worth minting a few...

0/ Think I found a BIG TIME Sleeper MINT.

What if there was a proven team who has built a superior game engine to ZedRun and Derace?

What if they were running a 10K drop RIGHT NOW at ONLY .2 SOL per? Only 1K have been sold...

All the above is TRUE. It is @photofinishgame Image 1/ The quality of projects choosing #Solana is continuing to impress me.

Lets first talk about this NFT Drop. There is 10K Horses. These are NOT the actual horses being used in gameplay. BUT they are cute PFPs AND essentially act as an VIP Entry Pass.. Image

0/ This thread got me excited below. Read the thread below by @scapesnft and re-read it again.

I had a SIMILAR train of thought I shared in @MonkeDAO a week or 2 ago. Not sure the exact same idea but let me give you an example of my idea which I think is on the same page: 1/ I will explain how I envisioned this using @SolanaMBS as an example (Note it may be slightly different than his idea above but VERY similar in concept, and @scapesnft explained it much better than I could)

Lets go with a visual example now...

0/ Find your OWN Alpha

Tired of hearing about a drop after it sells out? SAMESIES!! I got all the tools in my toolbox, but not enough TIME in the day.

So I will happily share some TIPS on how you can be EARLY & possibly find under the radar GEMS.

Lets get started.... 1/ Let me set the stage first.

Most likely you are using Twitter just like everybody else. Following a bunch of accounts and scrolling through your feed looking for some tips or new projects that got retweeted. That is COOL. It works.

BUT nobody is retweeting their REAL gems..

0/ Lessons LEARNED from being on twitter for just over ONE month

Crazy to think my first tweet was just over a month ago. One thing is for sure, crypto moves at LIGHT SPEED. I am over 16K followers, met some GREAT people and am as excited as ever about #Solana and its future... 1/ Here is what I have learned..

- Be Honest & Transparent
- Be Accessible
- Avoid Singling Out Projects
- More Followers = Greater Responsibility
- Be Positive - Spread Good Vibes
