NFTs have changed my mental model for random plots of land (outside of urban areas, resorts, productive land etc). I used to FOMO a bit looking at it. Now I think: huge supply, super illiquid, decent carrying costs NFT

Bullish to see & pick up Punks recently Two takeaways: 🔹Punks remain the premier cultural asset on Ethereum 🔹As people in the industry make $ trading + founding businesses some of that value will flow to Punks Fat Punks Thesis, still alive 🤞

1) When you have conviction, don't let other people convince you to sell 2) Even though bear markets give you ptsd, new projects can always pop off 3) Always have a moonbag 4) NFT price action is driven more by hope vs. anything fundamental ie. what if this hits 1 ETH?

The rankings page is still the front page of NFTs Being a high volume project on there is the crypto culture version of trending on Product Hunt It's a competitive moat in terms of mind share, even if volume is spreading out across other marketplaces

One of the hardest things to do is discern between 1. Well-articulated and compelling but irrelevant feedback from experienced people, who are not your target community — 2. Poorly described but relevant feedback from inexperienced people who are your target community.

Finally bought a forever Sappy Seal 🦭 My taste has been described as "normiecore" before & it's a label I accept 😅 We simply bet on memes, communities & entrepreneurs, then let it ride 🫡

The biggest bull case for NFTs is that every one of us has a deep desire for belonging

The #1 thing you learn from experiencing success as an operator is that there are no universal solutions. Everything is context based. The real game is just creative problem solving with extremely specific constraints, constantly.

"I can't wait for NFTs to hit 2021 levels again!" I'mma be real with you fam, in 2021 you could literally just pick an animal jpeg that a bunch of other people liked, not sell for a few months, and then send in your two-weeks notice. Let's not assume that is coming back.

Anyone else feel like they’re the only person who has been around crypto, but hasn’t “made it” yet?

No matter what you do, there will always be unsatisfied people in this space, focus on those who gives constructive criticism and those who shows up. I tried to please so many people in the last year and it almost burnt me. There will always be complainooorr

Timeline is super toxic today. Putting others down doesn’t raise you up. Makes me think I might be following some very young kids. Need to curate a more positive feed. Not simply looking for “gms” either, but actual interesting posts with interesting links & takes. ❤️🤜🤛
