Things you’ll soon be able to do with a single prompt 👇🏽🧵

People / Companies / Start-ups building these will make BILLIONS 💰 The most sophisticated technologies in the world are merely a COMBINATION of simple, yet effective technologies

What makes a car “semi autonomous”?

Dynamic Distance Maintenance + Cruise Control + Lane Keep

While each individual feature is meh. Together, the car drives itself!

How a new crypto/NFT marketplace pump n’ dump WOULD work

🧵👇🏽 Imagine the following groups of people

Group A — 10 ppl
Group B — 100 ppl
Group C — 1000 ppl

Group A are the founding team & early investors

Group B are “early adopters” who get free tokens based on their trading vol

Group C are poor unsuspecting, influencer-trusting, normies

Why understanding ACTIVE vs. PASSIVE INVESTING is critical to your financial success… 💰📈

specially in Crypto, Web 3 & NFTs…

🧵👇🏽 🔑 Investing comes down to your time horizon & your level of engagement

If you’re investing over a 5-year window in a “set-it-and-forget-it” manner…

Your strategy should be vastly different than if you were planning to spend 5-6 hours a day monitoring markets & day-trading

THE NEW META 💡

➡️ How to invest & build in the bear market

➡️ How I sold out a 500 piece photography NFT collection with 0 marketing, 0 allow-list, no prior discord, 0 grand-gesture promises, in the heart of a Bear Market, and why

A strategic & tactical MUST READ guide 🧵👇🏽🍿 Let’s play a game.

You have 2 options for a launch, you must pick one ⤵️

🅰️ 10k drop; Peak Bull Market; heavy upfront marketing; pfp style ‘algo generated’; ambitious roadmap

🅱️ 100-500 drop; Peak Bear Market; 0 marketing; photography style; pragmatic day-to-day roadmap

Why this pump is different 🧵👇🏽

A MUST READ 🍿💸 Anytime people look back at history to predict exactly what’s going to happen this time, it concerns me

Why? Cuz TODAY is VERY different from whatever timeframe is being compared

Take this (last cycle) chart as an example, where many people claim this is EXACTLY where we are…

types of high-level NFT trading strategies everyone should be aware of, & how I play them myself

🧵👇🏽 1. BUY & HODL

This mostly applies to bluechip NFTs (top 5-10) & their tier 2, 3, 4 drops…

Idea here is to bet on the “FAANG” of NFTs

Value typically consolidates to bluechips or there’s “M&A” in the space (think Yuga X Punks)

The bet is on economies of scale & 1st mover adv

This is obviously not financial advice. You’d be an idiot to take financial advice from a keyboard Anon with a JPEG… right?

Buckle up 👇🏽

KEY LESSONS I’VE LEARNED FROM MY FIRST YEAR IN NFTS 🧵⬇️ 1. it’s a marathon not a sprint —there will be a tremendous amount of new information, projects, market dynamics, trends, volatility, rug-pulls, moonshots, oppos, etc. No way you can “catch ‘em all” - be patient!!

I get some pretty ridiculous asks in my DMs:

- request for RT’ing projects for a couple WLs
- request to review business plan & NFT strategy… for free
- blanket asking me to join discords
- request to explain a whole project (when they haven’t done beginner’s research)

(1/4) I have a very demanding irl job. I already spend a ton of time on threads & engagement on NFTwitter generally

I do entertain offers that are worthwhile — going to ignore rest going fwd

⬇️⬇️

Be respectful of other ppls times & try to understand their opportunity costs…

(2/4)
