What does this accomplish other than deprive 640k Americans from Internet access? Does this make America better or worse?
Starlink was given a contract by the FCC in 2020 to bring Internet access to 640,000 Americans in 35 states by 2025.
But yesterday the FCC took this contract away and replaced it with...nothing.
A lot of people, including an FCC Commissioner, finds the decision and rationale a head-scratcher. When you make decisions that negatively impact a lot of Americans for no clear reason, its important to clearly explain why.
Otherwise, people will speculate. And in this case, they are speculating that this is directed political harassment of Elon.
A-Nother-one. Proud that another of my favorite projects and founders @JamieThomsonVF of @VulcanForged has joined @NeoTokyoCode as an S1.
S1s and it groups are where founders/VCs/builders in gaming go to mastermind & network. The talent in there is getting silly. GR GR GR!
During this NFT bloodshed a few have pointed out NEO Tokyo's NFT floor havn't budged, heck we are gaining members.
Here is why + a lesson : (leave a like + comment, 1 gets a $2k s2)
Clear defined EXPERIENCED value + real industry utility
Let me explain :
NT is not a PFP project. It's not a game. Its networking and access club for VCs, founders, developers and participants in the crypto gaming industry.
AKA what I call the "soho house model". ๐น๐ง
Soho house in the past used to be the GO TO place for those in the arts industries.
A membership added a TON to your career, thus people easily lined up to pay 10k+ a year to just come inside and THEN buy drinks/food.
If you were not there, you were actively limiting your career, access to talent, connections etc
This is my/e's entire goal at NT.
Think about it. ๐ง
-The fee to find a developer from recruiters is 30-50k
-Meeting partners can mean millions
-Getting inside seed access/early access to infrastructure/game investing can mean millions
-Networking alone is worth 5-20k
-Getting qualified investor eyes on your project takes EXTREME effort and can make or break it
-Getting help from experts/sharing note...Again...insane ROI.
When the NFT scene is getting rough, NT is a justifiable value backed decision for ANYONE in crypto gaming.
They make far more in actual real world value than the cost of the NFT, thus they don't flip it.
It's that simple.
Combo that with the fact that
A) We kept supply low AND made sure minters only got 1...We have no whales able to dump or lines of people looking to flip.
B) Members control bytes, which control access to all of the tools/resources/infastructure of NT. For example our citizen launchpad, NFT launcher, NFT item creation etc.
NT thus because an extremely NON speculative asset.
We don't have some "foggy" plan or something "speculate on".
It's simple : If your in the gaming industry you will accrue 5x more in value from our resources, access, networking, recruiting etc than the cost of the NFT.
This "industry country club" model has been around since forever and it works.
The one flip side is membership is limited and controlled by the members...Not the club.
Thus the COOL part is as crypto gaming goes mainstream we will see the value just go up and up as members accrue more real world value and are unwilling to leave. (Remember almost every only has 1, if they sell, they are out)
That's it. Instead of chasing the drop drop drop hype model that took rise in 2021, we took a more traditional model.
It hurt at first as speculators left, but now its allowing us to smoothly grow and hit our vision in the bear.
If you're in the gaming industry, come get a drink.
