He bought Crypto in 2017 and got scammed.

Lost over $15,000.

Started reading block explorers to understand what happened.

Today he’s the most feared crypto investigator.

A Personal Note From Our Founder

NotebookLM is legitimately useful. I fed it a 300-page book and got back study guides, summaries, and even a podcast of all the info.

It was shockingly good tbh.

No hallucinations. No nonsense. Just clean, accurate work.

The best thing that can happen to a young man is getting close to someone who is wildly successful but clearly depressed.

You will feel your survival instincts kick in. Your brain will tell you that you don't want to be like this person.

Crypto is full of these people. They clicked the right buttons, they're worshipped online, but if you really understood what their life was, you would not trade places with them.

One of my best Blast farms so far:

I minted/bought ~800 Apollo NFTs last week on @Blaze0ng for ~44E and borrowed 33.6E at 7% apr against them

Metastreet pays you 0.4 gold per week for every Apollo NFT you borrow against

I earned ~320 gold and the 800 NFTs are worth 56E now (have sold half)

Typically Blaze NFTs are fully refundable, but in this case they partnered with Metastreet and used the mint funds to allow you to take up to 90% LTV loans on the collection

I essentially locked up 10E, earned 320 Gold, and profited around 10E (half realized) in one week in the process

These are the types of under the radar gold farms you should be hunting for, not the ones that are all over your twitter timeline

Thanks to Blaze and Metastreet for making this possible!

My thoughts on Fantasy after playing for a couple days:

On the platform:

1) I never think a model has made it until it can sustain a boom & bust cycle.

2) This is especially true when there are a lot of free incentive dollars added to the business model driving a boom.

3) Whenever we're in an initial boom where everyone makes money cards, they talk about how they like it "not for the money" -- I think you need a bust cycle to confirm that's true. Making money makes everything around it fun.

4) You also get the "imagine if" narratives about the platform doing xyz which normally involve Taylor Swift joining the platform and stuff like that.

5) The problem with busts in this stuff is that then the creators stop making money too, which hurts motivation at all sides.

6) So to me, there's very real pattern recognition at this point with other booms we've seen. TBA on the rest.

7) I do think gold addictions will go on longer than people expect so that fuel can keep going.

On being a "hero"

8) My strategy is to stick to my permanent strategy: create content people find helpful and engage w people who engage. No cabal, no chat groups, none of that.

9) There are two caveats: (a) I've had more coffee than normal which is the single biggest variable in how much a tweet.

10) second caveat: (b) I put out data which showed OpenSea fails which is a completely unfair cheat code for virality around here and like teasing the unpopular kid at school for clout and I'm sorry that was unfair.

11) I wouldn't recommend being a hero for people who have insecurities around their account or who care too much what other people think.

12) I also dropped my photography collection at Fantasy launch which isn't the type of content that goes viral but I'm glad I got attention on the photos.

13) My best performing tweets almost all involve highlighting other people's good work. First thing I learned in professional life is when you get a spotlight, shine on others.

14) Sucks to see the botting, but to anyone who pays attention to this space, nothing in history has ever been less surprising.

On playing the game

15) I got my free pack and my discounted packs, so spent 0.1 ETH and sold the cards I got for 0.26 ETH or something like that.

16) There is about $9mn in prize pool & around $11mn spent on fees so far, so I'm not sure the math maths but I'm sure there will be more gold and an upcoming token and the team has more tricks up their sleeve. SO let's see!

17) I don't care if small accounts get more points. Study and adapt, study and adapt -- only way to play crypto.

Guess that's all, bless if you read this far.

I finished my first version of my data tool for @fantasy_top_.

https://t.co/OuYaYS5wmu
The priority was to get online as quickly as possible with some basic information. It basically took me 24 hours to get to this stage, so i would say not bad. It may be buggy and I still need to figure out how to improve the data collection. Maybe @TravisBickle0x can answer to my PM? :)

Right now it's basic data with sortable columns and charts for the basic metrics. Depending on how well it is received and how many users it will have, I will continue to develop it with more information and more detailed dashboards.

I will also consider it to tokengate it with my @blastr_xyz nft collection. Maybe not bad to secure already one? :)
