Top influencers in China can literally sell over $1,000,000,000 USD worth of products in a day from ONE livestream.
Check out these Chinese influencers that made around $3B just yesterday.
The creator economy is the future of marketing.
I created a new account on TikTok and grew it from 0 to 300k+ followers in less than 48 hours
I documented the entire journey and kept it to myself until now🧵
A lot of new friends on Twitter recently, so here’s a quick intro about myself 👋
I’m now working on
@waterfall_mkt
and
@curta_ctf
full time. My DMs are open if you’d like to chat!
College degrees will soon be useless.
A piece of paper no longer stands you out. It also no longer guarantees you a job.
Skill-based credentials in the form of personal projects, open-source contributions, hackathon awards, and competition results will soon be the de facto
what will the new form of higher education look like?
because i think elite institutions
which require students to take on an un-defaultable, no-collateral loans equivalent to a small mortgage
leading to jobs which can barely pay the loans off
run by unlikeable, out of touch,
ERC-6551: the new token standard that allows your NFTs to own assets, including other NFTs.
For NFTs adopting this standard, pricing will be very vague and arbitrary.
How does one find the liquidity to sell and trade?

Curta Golf Winner 💪🥇
All with the help of my new compiler BALLS, will make a full thread and official announcement tomorrow.
But first, we celebrate! 🍾
Inspired by
@VitalikButerin
’s 121km challenge walking from Waterloo to Toronto,
me and
@fiveoutofnine
have decided to challenge ourselves by crossing Iceland on foot
Challenge begins at around 11PM tonight (in 2 hours)
Starting point: Reykjavík 🏁
Ending point: Keflavík ⛳️
I just turned 21!
Spending my birthday today in Istanbul planning for the
@curta_ctf
event in 2 weeks.
Can’t wait to meet everyone in person at Curta Cup 🥳
Today is
@waterfall_mkt
’s first day at our new office, an iconic building in the Financial District of New York.
(Feat. a Fidenza print)
Super excited to be assimilated into the

community!
This is the home of Station3

The original Standard Oil building, where Rockefeller had his office and private gym on top floor. Before that, Alexander Hamilton’s home sat there.
Something very interesting will be hanging off this building in July, permanently. 👀
It's been almost 2 years since
@fiveoutofnine
released his collection, fiveoutofnine.
It's the first 100% on-chain chess AI. Anyone can play, and each move mints an NFT.
To this day, it remains one of the most technologically advanced feats of smart contract history:
In 2021, I gained 4 million followers on social media and made a career out of making TikToks.
However, I’ve put all that aside to start

This little puppy was ran over by a car and had 2 of his legs shattered. The folks that hit him drove off
We found out that Zuzu is requiring surgery - the appointment is now scheduled for tomorrow
Given that there are no shelters nearby, we are looking for someone to adopt him
I went to the SBF trials too, and saw him face-to-face with Caroline Ellison on the witness stand.
She pointed her finger at him and pleaded guilty to all 7 charges with a maximum of 110 years in prison.
Here’s the info that's never been made public outside of court before:
I attended the SBF trial. It was one of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life.
Seeing him get a 25 year sentence today is as surreal as it felt sitting right behind him in that courtroom.
Here’s my story of that day:
Very true
I myself started college at 15, and my peers were always at least 4 years older than I was — there were definitely a lot of challenges that came with that
This is why
@0xSigil
and I are making a community for those of us that are non trad to support each other 😊
It’s lonely building a company at 18
When everyone is in college, it’s hard to find a tribe, and feel empathized and supported.
If you feel the same,
@shanefanx
and I are making a DAO like $FWB for frens taking nontraditional pathways to do cool things.

We first announced our round back in October.
Working with our lead investors in the past few months has been amazing - I have only great words to say.
Thank you for all the support so far
@ElectricCapital
and

Was reading some EIPs and came across ERC-5564: stealth addresses
This EIP would allow recipients to remain private when receiving assets & imo will probably drastically change the culture of defi on Eth
Thank you guys for making today a memorable event.
Curta Cup IRL was insane. Vibes were immaculate.
Special shout out to
@0xKalzak
who was the first to arrive and the last to leave the venue. Man has insane grit.
✅ The best EVM devs in one place
✅ Day long CTF competition
✅ Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Who still needs an invite to Curta Cup? Reply to this tweet and I'll DM you.
Looks like TikTok US users have caught onto livestream gift farming
This is pretty much where China was a few years ago
It’s inevitable that these streamers will start making 6 figures per stream via live auctions and product sales when TikTok implements good live checkouts
We were initially going to cancel our
@waterfall_mkt
Iceland offsite due to some scary news abt volcanoes erupting
But we went anyways
Ended up hiking 12 miles to witness this once in a life time view of an active Litli Hrutur
2yrs ago, I tweeted about how Chinese influencers can sell $1 billion USD worth of goods in 1 day from 1 live stream
E.g. in the pic,
- Austin sold $1.5B in 12 hours
- Viya sold $1.1B in 14 hours
2 days ago,
@xQc
signed a $100M deal. Ppl think it's crazy but maybe it's not 🤷
The next alpha in the NFT ecosystem imo is EIP-6551, spearheaded by
@BennyGiang
and
@jayden_windle
EIP-6551 essentially allows NFTs to own Ethereum accounts
This can change the meaning of "soulbound tokens," introducing the concept of trading ETH accounts, vault creation, etc.
Curta launched in March of 2023.
We’ve come a long way since.
Thank you to all the authors, solvers, partners, community members, friends, supporters, and most of all the
@curta_ctf
team for making this possible
Working on our guest list before we open up our application tomorrow.
Comment or DM me if you want an invite to attend Curta Cup in Istanbul on Nov 18 🇹🇷
I was a Reddit power user. I would karma farm (engagement farm) every day and even had a few posts rank

on r/all of the day
I loved the platform and used to always shill Reddit:
I’ve always thought that they had the perfect governance model for a social media platform
It’s officially two months of
@curta_ctf
being live!
Thanks to all the authors, players, and supporters to make the community a safe and fun learning environment for everyone ❤️
This is 12:21AM in Iceland. “Sunset” was over an hour ago
Moving here would be so productive
No distractions, good to sync with both US and Europe with UTC +0, and easily pull all nighters without getting tired with the sun being up all the time
We are excited to announce that Curta Golf is NOW live!
Golf is an onchain gas optimization competition, where players compete in optimizing smart contracts to place on the leaderboard and earn NFTs.
@ElectricCapital
is the best. They have a design and engineering team that’s ready to help their portfolio companies with product at any time.
@MariaShen
and
@avichal
also have amazing advice.
Cannot recommend more.
too few ppl know that I manually create these videos frame by frame
each millisecond of the fade is a legit different graphic... stitched together via stop motion
i personally composed the audio too xD
In 24 hours, we tried shark, whale, puffin, horse, and other unique foods for the first time in Iceland
Shark tasted like a fishy fermented chewy chicken
Whale tasted like steak with hints of tuna
Puffin was unique asf
Horse tasted like steak but had a grassy after taste
This is insane.
@NotDeGhost
’s Curta Cup challenge might be the hardest puzzle on Curta yet
First solver took a whopping 33hrs 45min… Congrats
@vinami
!!!
There are still ~5 days to try the challenge if you are interested :)
On Waterfall, the seller would first need to identify the number of shards they want to fractionalize the Goose into & the price each shard should be listed at.
Curious to see who the brightest EVM smart contract hackers are?
