It has been a wild rollercoaster of a week with the @meta_angels mint.

Here’s what we planned for, what actually happened and why we’re happy we took a different approach.

A thread 🧵 @meta_angels For today, I’m going to focus on what we think of as the road to mint: the time period after we had a concept and a team, but before we’d done any marketing (barebones website, no art, a few hundred Twitter followers.)

So let’s rewind 6 weeks, aka years in #NFTTime.

We get lots of questions on Twitter & in the @meta_angels Discord about how 10K PFP projects actually get made

So I'm going to demystify it here:
1) How it works
2) Examples of how many layers combine into 1 image
3) Resources if you are an artist or project starting out

👇🧵 @meta_angels Why am I sharing this? I’m a serial entrepreneur who recently got into the #NFT space, and 30 days ago I had no idea how to create PFPs. I’m now creating hundreds of gorgeous images a day as we test out traits for an upcoming 10k PFP drop. If I can figure this out, so can you.

As I talk to more people about crypto/NFTs, the aha moments have come from real world analogies. Although web3 is new, the concepts are not. Here's my oversimplified explainer of the space for newbies. Don't let the lingo turn you away, it's not as complicated as it seems! 1/X 🧵 First, let's talk about "the blockchain". It's a system of recording information. That's it. And it's used to record transactions. Imagine a general store in the 1800s. They had a paper ledger where they kept track of who bought what & who owed who & how much everything cost 2/X
