21 things I wish I knew way earlier about NFTs and Crypto (In no particular order!) A thread: 🧵 1) Just because someone was fortunate to mint or buy BAYC or Punks early does not always mean they are also smart or ethical IRL (though they well may be!)
Well this tweet has been a long time coming guys. Finally acquired my grail Fidenza!
#808
. Top signal or start of the next NFT bull run? Much respect for
@tylerxhobbs
and everyone at
@artblocks_io
Follow back if you are Fidenza or Art Blocks owner!
This Fidenza Friday has been a long time coming! Thank you
@tylerxhobbs
for referring me to AgavePrint in Austin to frame my grail
#808

@ArtOnBlockchain
I just want to honor my Dad who passed away peacefully at 83 last week with my mom right by his side. I was very, very blessed to have a great father.
Dad had more impact on my life than anyone else on earth. Among many things, he especially taught me the importance of:
11) Tight, loyal communities that continue to build with a healthy amount of unique owners (E.G. Cyberkongz) have a much higher likelihood of surviving a bear market and prospering long term.
Just revealed my WOY
#188
aka: “Purple Rain”
@refikanadol
and team exceeded expectations.
60 second video to be framed soon along with my signed print! Zoom in on the high resolution details. Mind blown 🤯 RT for the culture.
Some Sunday Alpha: so this small 200 piece project called Chromatic Harmonies minted out yesterday. Art is excellent. I have been in DM with the artist
@MarcoBonafe_nft
in Italy.
*Read point 3 in his thread this morning.
@MarcoBonafe_nft
JUST ANNOUNCED he is taking a page
Thank you all for the immense support and love I received yesterday! 🙏❤️
I couldn't respond to all the DMs and comments; it was impossible. I'm not a Bot :)
Here's where I am, where I wanted to be!!
Here's some info below
🔻🔻
Been following
@DrifterShoots
for a long time and just minted his new project. His inspiring story is what we need more of today. Please check him out and retweet if you feel led.
9) Look for less cash grabs and more long term projects with doxxed teams like Moonbirds with
@kevinrose
that will become the “new norm” in the space.
@moonbirds
8) If you want to port ETH to an L2 network (arbiritum, polygon, DAI) first send a very small amount to make sure you know what in the heck you are doing
17) Historical art NFTs like Squiggles, Fidenzas from Art Blocks or Autoglyphs are a great buy in bear markets if you have the conviction (and ETH)
@artblocks_io
@ArtOnBlockchain
@tylerxhobbs
Wow
@tylerxhobbs
officially followed me today. What an honor and privilege!
@artblocks_io
community is strong. Follow back if you love Fidenzas and QQL too!
2) 2.Time value in crypto and NFT land is hyper accelerated. Do not lock up assets or factor APR yields over a long period. Let others do so and sell into it. (E.G. do not lock up 50k of $magic at $3 for a year for a 30-40% yield)
Had to pick up another punk at these levels!
(Love the cig smoke pixels and lux beard)
Special live video of purchase coming…
Last time we posted a video purchase the market absolutely ripped over the next 4 weeks.
Follow back for updates
20) Sometimes the NFT you get into just because it seems fun/cool and you don't think will actually take off, ends up actually being the thing that moons.
#HODL
5) 7.Discord can be a fun community yet also dangerous place where people have their wallets compromised. Good rule of thumb: be darn sure before clicking on ANY link in a discord or answering any DM. Better yet just do not click on any links there.
19) ETH (like Bitcoin) is VERY volatile and risky. Hence it will not always be at 3K (or 1K). Do not trust all the exchanges. AKA: Crypto ain’t for everyone.
Wow! Woke up to 3k followers PLUS a follow from the one and only
@garyvee
Massive respect to Gary and everyone in his community. Happy Easter everyone.
1/ According to official numbers, your currency is now losing 1% of its value every 30 days.
October it was 0.9% for the month, 6.2% year-on-year.
That’s the “official” numbers.
Without them, the Web3 space would look completely different today:
Let me introduce you to one of the most influential NFT projects of all time 🧵👇
(1/15)
I met many Cyberkongs at Decentral and
@ArtBasel
in Miami and was impressed. For me access to the Genesis Hall and Defi Kongz channels in the CK discord is one of the biggest values. (By the way only 4 genesis Kongz below 90 ETH now and VX are ripping). Read this alpha…
Sold the rare moonbird I minted just 24 hours ago for 25.5 eth! Should I buy back in on the floor now, wait or look at another project? Shout out to
@golfer319
for the solid advice like always
@moonbirds_xyz
@RickBakas
@phantom
@SolariansNFT
first ever NFT on Solana platform. What was first big nft in ETH? (Starts with C and ends in punks). Only 6% of all
@SolariansNFT
units even avail for sale on secondary market as I write this. Not financial advice.
@golfer319
@ape_g4ng
What would be interesting is to ask what people would bet their LIFE on if they had to pick ONE NFT that will still be around and thriving 5+ years from now. My answer is: punks. Anyone else?
@Tschuuuuly
@_Raster_Eyes_
I love this pic! I want to follow back any punks that I am not already following. Where is the next “punks are ded” brunch? Did someone say Texas?
@NonFungibleNoah
@wildwildwes
@CyberKongz
Last Nov I went to Miami to Decentral & spent about 3 hours with about 25 Gensis Kongz owners on a yacht. Was blown away with the big brains there IRL. Info & contacts I made on that trip alone have been invaluable. Access to genesis hall alone is worth owning a Genesis Kongz.
So WHY are punks flying now?
A thesis:
1. The only people left are the true believers, deploying / recycling funds
2. Likely some profit taking from the SOL / BTC pumps
3. Liquidity injection from the $MEME airdrop
4. Sentiment injection from the GordonGoner purchases
5.
