Good morning. Today marks the start of something really special.

For years fans have cried out for more in their ticket purchases; more trust, more flexibility, more value. With @TicketTreeUS, fans receive more than they could ever imagine.

We’ve been working tirelessly for the past 18 months to deliver a platform that transforms the boring, mundane ticket purchases experience into an exciting, social feeling, and today, we get to see our reimagined fan experience kick off.

Our first ticket sales go live today, December 9, 2024, a good 6 weeks before schedule. Be on the lookout.

Being early is expensive.

You have to educate the market, explain the problem, and convince people they should care.

Sometimes the hardest part of building a great product is waiting for the market to catch up.

It’s pretty insane. Some of the OGs I’ve talked to who have been in crypto for ages are acting as if crypto is done, whenever there’s any sort of positive price action, they have run for the doors mentality. In many ways, similar to the post ICO boom or the fallout from FTX.

That feels like the current state of where we are, which leads me to believe we’ve had the proper washout we needed. The get rich quick founders have mostly been washed out, and what’s left are the core believers + seeds planted for onchain finance to bleed into the real world.

Which makes me think we’re going to see a lot of new products being built, new talent, and a much healthier cycle.

We’re roughly halfway through a 30 year tech cycle that started in 2009 when Bitcoin launched. The first phase is where the biggest multiples are made, the second is where the most money is made, and the final phase is where the space consolidates into big players.

I believe we’re firmly in the second phase of crypto’s tech cycle. It’s time to build again.

Cursor was an email app.
Slack was a game company.

Great founders refuse to quit. Mediocre founders say: “We executed well, but our idea was flawed, good job everyone but we are shutting down.”

Almost no one gets the first idea right.

The new service is called "Truth API" which gives firms "a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths," the company's CEO said in a press release.

The service reportedly costs as much as $100,000/month.

@nickverlaney Please just keep him. He legitimately cannot possibly do worse than Garnacho/Gittens last season. Give him one last chance, even if its for pure squad vibes.

.@garyvee: "I've been in a 7-10 week cocoon around collecting becoming the next lifestyle genre."

"I think it's about to completely blow the roof off."

"I believe in 10 years, every Fortune 500 consumable product — apparel, CPG — will have a collectibles marketing strategy."

"You saw lines around the door at Popeye's for the One Piece collectible. People flooding to a Dodgers game to get the One Piece collectible."

"Differentiation in an AEO/GEO, agentic commerce world around collectibles and community to get people to stop their normal pattern of what they're just reordering — because they want to buy a deodorant that has a collectible of their favorite [entertainment thing]."
