1. The truth about your NFT bags...
Most will be worth ZERO in 5 years.
BUT the ones that survive 5 years will be worth A LOT...
I survived the 2017 ICO craze... but barely... 2 projects saved me... and if it weren't for them I may have given up on crypto...
A thread 🧵👇
1. It's time for a mega thread on $LUNA NFTs 🧵...
I like being EARLY in the NFT game... thats where you can get some 100x gems
I spent the last 24 hours diving DEEP into this ecosystem and I absolutely loved it.
Here is a guide to $LUNA NFTs including my purchases🧵👇
1.The $SHDW IDO is today and everybody is talking about it.
I am going to break it down as if I was explaining it to a 10 year old, including my plans for the IDO.
This is intended for people who are completely new so if you are a crypto OG, you will be bored.
Here goes...
21. In summary, got burned in 2017, but I learned a lot.
Here is how I plan on winning in 2022:
1. Buying and holding the best NFT projects
2. Buying and holding cryptos like Solana, Luna, ETH, etc. that a lot of people need in order to buy NFTs
3. Building an NFT business
1. So let me guess...
You have no idea what is happening between
@SolanaMBS
and
@MonkeDAO
and at this point you're kinda afraid to ask?
I got you covered anon...
Here is the oversimplified version of the conflict...
A thread 🧵👇
New PFP for a few days, don't worry my SMB will be back soon!
I wanted to share some thoughts on why I pulled the trigger on this
@GalacticGeckoSG
700ish SOL purchase...
Buying "grails" is often somewhat subjective, what do I mean by that?
@WheatiesNFT
@DeGodsNFT
Damn, so basically, Frank dumped SOL cuz she put on a few pounds and left for another woman, then ETH ended up not giving a fuck about Frank and neither did Polygon.
In the meantime, SOL hit the gym and is now hotter than ever.
As you all know, I took some time off and now I am back
I did some sweeping, probably about 50-100 NFTs in total, here is everything I bought...
Am I GMI? What did I miss?
1.
@solBOOGLE
- no explanation needed. Really welcoming and talented group of people.
Honestly getting sick of y00ts shade all over my timeline.
The
@y00tsNFT
mint brought a ton of attention to Solana. Was basically the biggest story of the week across all of Web 3.0.
It was far from perfect but anybody rooting for SOL NFTs long term should be rooting for y00ts
1. I am going to reveal my entire $SOL porfolio in this thread
I have 3 coins that make up 90% of my porfolio
Then 6 others as high risk moonshot 10x-100x gambles that will probably go to 0 🤣 - All on Solana!
Lets dive in 🧵
Taking a year off Twitter and crypto, I realized I lost all my profits last cycle buying shitcoins and NFTs.
This time around, I made a promise to myself to be extremely careful.
I promised myself that I was going to be a disciplined investor.
I promised myself to protect my
If you’re new to NFTs. Youre still super early, but be careful.
Many of us have been doing this full time for a year.
We are more experienced that you.
Start small to learn to minimize downside.
Deploy more as you become more experienced at identifying winners.
I was so poor in college. I had almost 0 help from parents. Maxed out student loans.
My bank account never had more than $300
One time when I had $0 to my name, I waited for my roommate to finish his $3 frozen pizza so I could eat the crust for dinner lol
Also my roommate knew…
13. So attempting to learn from my past mistakes, here are 3 ways I am planning to "win" with NFTs:
1. Buying and holding the best NFT projects
2. Buying and holding cryptos like Solana, Luna, ETH, etc. that a lot of people need in order to buy NFTs
3. Building an NFT business
Whats the deal with
@DeGodsNFT
?
They not on Solana at all anymore?
I staked my DeGods for Dust on SOL, now I can't find it 🤣
Why did they leave SOL? Do people on SOL still support them?
Giving away 3 NFTs. I hold a fat bag of
@SolariansNFT
who just airdropped 30 of these awesome NFTs from
@neonexus_world
to me. I don't need them all to myself so I am giving away 3 of them to anybody who likes, retweets and comments "beep boop" on this tweet! Good luck!
Today MagicEden raised $27MM from Sequoia which is considered to be a top tier VC.
MagicEden has been around for less than a year and it just got a 9 figure valuation.
The quickest path to becoming an NFT millionaire is building something.
Not grinding whitelists.
1. Small fun announcement:
I am launching a Solana podcast -
@gmsolanapod
Why?
I have been having a ton of private convos with Solana founders lately and I think it would be cool to make them available to everybody...
Here is a short thread 🧵with more info...
18. You should be treating your SOL, ETH, and LUNA like gold and only parting with it if you think your NFTs can outperform the price appreciation of SOL, ETH and LUNA if you just held them.
This is VERY tough to do and I have parted with a lot of SOL, ETH and LUNA for NFTs...
Its WILD how valuable networking is in this space.
Its netted me at least $100k in last few months
Random examples:
$30k airdrop = I got b/c

Love waking up to some juicy drama in the morning.
DeGod's got themselves in a shitty situation. Took a huge bet and it backfired. The higher SOL goes, the worse they look.
Here are my thoughts on
@DeGodsNFT
, starting with my own personal journey to SOL...
🧵👇
20. damn sure on my NFT bets.
Last, on 3. Build an NFT business
You can approach this in many ways, you could:
- Launch your own NFT
- Learn to code & build
- Start an NFT consulting company
I am working on this piece now, but I will save those details for another post :)
14. First, on choosing the right NFTs
I rarely mint anything anymore. MAYBE 1-2 projects per month.
I am highly focused on buying and holding the future "BNBs and Chainlinks" of this cycle.
I spend hours researching the project, the team, the partners etc.
.
@AaronSage
lets make a friendly wager.
SOL vs ETH. Whichever has a better return from today to EOY wins.
$10k each. If you believe what your posting, it should be a free $10k.
We can use a punk we mutually trust as an escrow.
In?
9. The only reason I am still standing here today is because 2 projects completely saved me from throwing all of my ETH down the drain.
Chainlink & Binance Chain
$1,000 of Chainlink got me 10,000 LINK tokens = worth $130,000 today and $500,000 at its peak.
...
With all eyes on JUP, some other coins look oversold.
Time to convert some USDC into some alts.
I am always adding more $BONK
$CHONKY , $GECKO , and $SPDR have $8M, $12M and $40M FDMC respectively. The R/R on these looks promising at the moment.
P.S. I have sold 0 JUP
12. So on to NFTs... big promises & cash grabs with lots of buzzwords and with no ability to deliver...
Sound familiar?
"That sounds... NOTHING like the current NFT market JPEG Lord!" 😂😂😂
History repeats itself, and newbies need to be REALLY careful in this space...

"If I had just held SOL and not bought NFTs, I’d be way richer."
No shit. Same with 99% of Twitter. But consider this:
Being risk-seeking enough to buy SOL means you'd also be risk seeking enough to chase NFTs, memecoins, ICOs, etc.
You can't separate the part of you that

@SolanaMBS
is def one of my fav NFTs on SOL. I am showing off my fav SMB I picked up a few weeks ago - Zombe, Viper Cowboy. Can't decide if I should make it my PFP
Congrats BONK team and holders!
My airdropped BONK is now worth almost $15k!!!
I was thinking of holding it until I could buy a Tesla... do we think this is the way?
15. There are a lot of important things to consider when purchasing an NFT but to me, the most important thing is the team.
Does this team have the experience necessary to bring a project to the finish line?
And do they have verifiable work experience to prove it?
2. The 2017 ICO craze reminds me a lot of the NFT craze of today.
Today the main buzzwords are "metaverse" , "VR" , and "utility"
In 2017 people just started realizing how cool "decentralized money" was... so what if we launched "DECENTRALIZED *INSERT MASSVE INDUSTRY HERE*"...
This is my favorite thing I bought in the last few months. I like

not because it keeps me safe from drains but because it keeps me safe from myself
80% of the time I don't end up buying shitcoins because I am too lazy to get my ledger and plug it in
Mad king listed for 25k SOL = $2.8M USD
If
@GroveSt_NFT
listed his mad king on a 24 hour auction starting now
What do you think the actual closing price would be? And why?
A lot of people are telling me to buy BONK and GECKO
Ser, the post above is talking about shitcoins... BONK and GECKO are an essential part of my "safe" allocation with SOL and Treasury Bills
I got fat bags of SHDW, AURY, DARK, GECKO and BONK!!

Every big brain I know in NFTs is BUILDING during bear markets. Not complaining.
Global conflict and uncertainty is at an all time high. Of course your portfolio is going to be down.
Stop looking at it.
Use this opportunity to gain an advantage.
3. Examples...
"Decentralized real estate" - The real estate market is a multi-billion dollar market... decentralization is the future! If we just capture 1% of the market it's a 1000x"
"Decentralized insurance!"
"Decentralized news!"
...
I am down bad on NFTs in terms of SOL.
Hard to be mad, its in our DNA.
Buying Bitcoin for $900 in 2017 was insane asylum shit at the time.
"You just spent $900 on fake internet money people use to buy drugs?"
This borders on our collective psychology. I say collective because
I don’t talk about my bad beats often, but I’ll talk about this one.
Down about 2500 SOL on Aurorians. Technically up in USD though, but can’t ignore the extra $250k that I could have had if I just stayed in SOL.
Being early sucks, but not gonna sell anytime soon.
Fun fact: I give into peer pressure
Anytime I posted anything about $LUNA the
@rekt_wolf
's were constantly howling "wen rekt" - so I bought
I also picked up some
@SntntStudios
after talking with the team
I love the $LUNA NFT community. Filled with builders and good peepz.
1. Time for an "Explain It Like I Am 10 Years Old" mega thread on what I think will go down as one of the most valuable NFTs of all time.
IMO, its the most "complete" SOL NFT project I have ever seen.
Here is my 25 hours of research simplified into 5 minutes for you. 🧵👇
Somebody posted this was 1 on 60 hand made
@DegenApeAcademy
by
@monoliff
so I snagged it.
I absolutely love Mono's art. I think hes one of Solanas greatest gifts.
Great art, always innovating, blesses people with 1/1s. DAA is an OG but anything by Mono is as well
🫡
Anybody selling SOL right now has never been to a Breakpoint or Hacker House
When you see the # of devs, the apps being built and the energy of the room you know its something special.
For me, the plan remains unchanged.
HODL.
It begins... Episode 1...
This Friday, 10am ET. Me and
@draxxts

@FamousFoxFed
I found out today FFF has $9M in their treasury lol.
This has to be one of the most impressive NFT projects on SOL. I want to learn as much as possible.
1. What started the NFT bull market?
Today is the 1 year anniversary of a very historic NFT purchase.
On January, 6th, 2021 an NFT was bought for $160,000.
At the time, it was the most expensive NFT purchase in history and it's where my NFT journey began.
A thread 🧵👇
10. BNB I was unable to ICO unfortunately, but I did spend $1,000 buying 1,000 tokens of BNB on the secondary market.
Which today would be worth $376,000.
I ended up selling most of my BNB at $70 which was a nice profit.
I think there are 3 "tiers" to being able to say you "made it"
Assuming you can always get a guaranteed 5% on your cash and you live in a moderate cost of living area, these are the "made it" tiers IMO:
Tier 1: Time Freedom
$2M at 5% interest = $100k/yr
The time freedom tier…
Bros… what amount would u consider having ‘made it’?
Never gave it much thought tbh, my view has always been that I will make as much as I deserve, no more and no less, but am at just under $1m now and realized I’m probably pretty close which is wild…
Floor price on

@RaposaCoffeeCo
led by
@dirtySOK
is a cool project. I snagged 51.
I was curious of the project, so SOK and I hopped on a call for over an hour, here are my notes:
4. All you really needed was an IDEA with the buzzword "Decentralized *insert literally anything*" then have a great marketing team & you would raise MILLIONS.
Projects with 0 ability to deliver on projects would sellout instantly with massive FOMO on secondary markets.
A bet on
@_portals_
is a bet on crypto gaming + solana
I think that narrative will be strong in coming years so I swept some visions, onyx and ivory.
Priced has moved significantly so I think others had similar intuition
What are some other great games being built on SOL?
PSA: Stop trading shitcoins.
Its a 0 sum game.
You are basically just exchanging money between degens on twitter. Some have unfair advantage.
A winning bag:
- SOL 85%
- BONK 10% (if you want a fun moonshot)
- A forever PFP 5%
NFA: I lost half my shit on LUNA
20. If I can pick the right NFTs that will still be around 5-10 years into the future, they are going to be worth a hell of a lot more than they are today.
But I also know that cryptos like SOL, ETH and LUNA will also be worth a lot more than they are today... so I better be...
16. I am going to wait until the final 10 minutes of the IDO...
If funds raised are between...
$20MM-$40MM - I will buy a lot
$40MM-$60MM - I will buy some
$60MM-$80MM - I will buy a tiny bit or none
$80MM+ - I am going to wait and hope for a post IDO dump.

19. But when I do, I have conviction that these NFTs will outperform the underlying asset..
What is happening right now with NFTs is remarkable.
The future will look NOTHING like it does today.
There is so much untapped potential with NFTs and right now things are really messy
Really impressed with the

Waiting for the kanye concert to start and two guys with MAYC sweatshirts sit down a few rows in front of me.
On one hand im happy to see some NFTs repped at the concert. On the other hand I feel complete poverty by letting two economy BAYC get better seats than me.
