You really think someone could recreate a picture, in that style, by hand, and have it be anywhere close to that quality?
And even if they could, who in their right mind wants to pay money for that? The amount of entitlement artists are displaying is insane. But at least now you goofy ass mfers know how it was when automation took over real jobs like manufacturing etc.
Cry more artists, this was a long time coming.
I just remember all of the friends I have in the space and how I’d never have met them if I quit and gave up and left the space like many do. It makes for a much more relaxing experience to not constantly be worried about what prices are, what’s trending, etc and sometimes the best vibes in the space are the ones you get and put out when you’re not chasing a bag trying to get rich.
Real builders, people like Marianne and Bawsa. People that are genuine, show up and have a positive attitude and break real value to the space with their commentary and opinions.
I am trying to carve my own way to build alongside my community and friends to make it a better space for everyone.
A great piece of advice I received this year when it comes to startups and products is that some of the best inventions come from people using them directly in their own life to address a specific problem. Then once you are able to solve your own problem it becomes self evident and easy to market.
If i were to start a project, i would want to solve some problem that is faced in my life and by people similar to me so that i have anecdotal experience to add to the value of my proposition
Hands down the best overall goes to the legendary Naval, having succeeded wildly in and out of Crypto. A mark of a good angel investor is being able to pick up on opportunity when others see nothing special. If he wrote a book it would be sure to inspire thousands at the very least.
Another one in mind is Chris Dixon, although I’m not as familiar with his work or many other angel investors. However they all share the ability to notice things the average person may miss completely
Extreme fear in the last few cycles has historically been followed by rapid upward movement from various pumps. However this has also been because the global financial markets had not experienced any kind of significant financial fallout aside from a brief drop at the beginning of COVID.
With a global bear market these conditions could shift drastically and put crypto into a much less optimistic place. The best strategy has always been to invest what you can afford to lose and nothing more. My personal setback has always been leaving good money on the table and watching it round trip.
Quality over quantity should always be the model, if someone is pumping sponsored posts out and they’re not of any value or quality, then it cheapens the creator’s brand for pushing things that aren’t worthwhile.
For example opportunities for new chains or platforms might be worth more posts about as they can lead to people being early enough to capitalize on the early status but too many KOLs fall into the pitfall of shilling rugs and pump and dumps.
Good timing is probably one of the biggest factors. Whether that is timing for correct market conditions or waiting until just the right time to take the community to the next level.
Also having a proven track record of success helps build trust in a founder and their mission. Currently I have my eye on Omnia and its potential from founder Wab and his team who have been cooking the game for years upon years to get it perfect
@hubxyz@playoffthegrid@avax I will be paying heavy attention to the Monad ecosystem as I can foresee a good amount of gaming traffic and general infrastructure coming to the platform.
Kuru is a fun memecoin platform where users can easily deploy coins and trade. Every chain needs its memecoins after all.
The two that I get caught between are a16z and paradigm for obvious reasons, both have proven track records but they both dare to innovate in new and creative ways to bring a different experience to users. Like paradigm’s venture into Kaito, its popularity and weaponization of engagement led to some very profitable opportunities for holders, and all it took was changing perspective.
Authenticity, honestly, accountability.
Sounds like Bawsa for sure. Appreciate you sharing the info, hopefully it can save someone. In my experience I’ve gotten offers for podcasts etc made by people that make entire LinkedIn profiles etc just to scam and target people.
It’s getting serious out here ngl
