Sad you missed the $ENS Airdrop?

This could have been literally *ANY* other PFP
This 24 year old took $2.5M of his own money, bought a rug project, and put in Walmart within a YEAR
Absolute embarrassment to those projects that raised $50M-$100M and have nothing to show for it
One small step for Pudgy Penguins, one giant leap for Web3.
Web3 IP and blockchain technology are now front and center in the worlds biggest retailer.

Today is my birthday.
To celebrate, I'm gonna open two TS packs from my vault. One for ME, and one for YOU🎁

And these have a ton of Luka S1 MGLEs👀

If you’re feeling FOMO from NFTs you didn’t buy, don’t.
You’re here right now, in the community, and that’s earlier than most.
Even just knowing the space, the lingo, and the players has given you a massive advantage over the millions yet to arrive.
Bet on all of us.

A year ago today, I published the original episode of
@TheFirstMint
And never in my wildest dreams did I think it would lead to this.
Thank you all for being on this journey, and cheers to the many more years to come 🙏🏼

2/ Know What The Tokens Do
Airdrop tokens aren't just got profit
They're used for
- Governance
- Staking
- In Game
- Treasury
And given to
- Early Adopters
- Team
- Investors
- Contributors
They're meant to hand power, utility and profit to community
Its a really big deal!
7
24
460
10/ Find the tools!
Want to know if you have unclaimed Airdrops?
- Set up email alerts via !
Want to stay in the know on a platform?
- Join the discord!
12
47
462
8/ Set Yourself Up For Big Airdrops
Engage.
Participate.
Buy/Sell.
Sign Up.
Vote.
Trade.
Refer friends.
Stake.
Collect.
Tweet.
Follow.
Claim.
Take Surveys.
This is how you earn tokens in retro airdrops
Web3 will reward engagement in a way that users deserve
Play accordingly

I bought Jenkins tickets at 0.04
I bought Punks Comics at 0.2
I bought BYOPills at 0.05
The best projects are the ones that take their due time to build.
Don’t sleep on great concepts, strong teams, and solid design.

If you're new to NFTs, welcome!
But be warned...
You will think of NFTs at work
You will think of NFTs in bed
You will think of NFTs at the gym
You will think of NFTs while you eat
You will think of NFTs watching TV
And yes - You will definitely dream of NFTs.

Its clear the NBA wants to invest and win at NFTs
So why don't we ever hear from them?
The
@NBAxNFT
experience has been confusing for TS collectors - we deserve leadership + clarity
Open invite to
@NBA
web3 team to come on
@TheFirstMint
+ discuss the long term strategy here
46
51
423
9/ Start Learning DeFi
Yes, more research.
But for the NFT crowd, it's time to discover the true potential of $ETH
And along the way, you may just find a project or protocol you like that doesn't have a token yet.

There are no experts in NFTs.
Influencers yes. Apes yes. Whales yes.
But the Community rules all. We as a collective define the etiquette and rules of engagement.
Every tweet, trade, and DM counts as a vote in this massive informal DAO that is the NFT Community.
32
53
381
13/ Imagine the Possibilities
Now its DeFi protocols. Tomorrow its social + brands.
@Meta
could tokenize
@Twitter
could tokenize
@discord
could tokenize
And
@BoredApeYC
will be the first GLOBAL BRAND to tokenize their entire community.
Which is gonna be fucking crazy!

The Top Shot community is legit the strongest there is in NFTs.
It has survived despite huge market crashes and major scandals. The people here are resilient AF.
What other NFT project can say that?
Most of the blue chips have been up only and have not been tested this way.
33
31
375
3/ Recognize the significance of Governance
You need to know the power you wield.
These tokens aren't free cash.
They are voting shares in the tools you'll be using for decades.
Crypto is a paradigm shift intended to create a fully DECENTRALIZED model of finance and society.

This is the *best* time to get into NFTs.
I'm serious.
✔️Yes, the first major hype cycle is ending.
✔️Yes, many NFTs have NO utility at all.
✔️Yes, the novelty is wearing off.
But the positive signs⚡️ are there as the industry prepares for years of sustained growth

1/ PSA: Hide your $ETH🕵️
Its going to moon. And when it does, the NFT market is in for quite the revelation😱
Many trading NFTs today (the 2021 crowd) have yet to experience the true volatility of $ETH
But they’re about to⬇️
23
57
356
4/ Research Past Airdrops
I've been lucky to grab
-
@Uniswap
-
@PoolTogether_
-
@1inch
-
@AxieInfinity
-
@ensdomains
Each one came with a solid whitepaper that explained the token's purpose and future
TAKE THE TIME TO READ THESE
And if you don't get it, ask someone who does
4
11
340
6/ Look Around You For Hints
What Web3 sites/tools do you
- Connect your wallet to?
- Use on a daily basis?
- Trade NFTs?
- Sign in?
If they don't yet have a token, they may soon.
Again, the core principle is to DECENTRALIZE.
Most Web3 companies are expected to do this.
1
19
329
11/ Be Patient
It won't happen overnight
Its easy to see people bank $30k from ENS and expect the same instantly.
Truth is:
- I bought ENS domains for over a year before airdrop
- Ppl played Axie for 3+ years before airdrop
Go hard on stuff you think is important
Then wait.

Skip forward to August
- Flow Airdrop
- Flow on Coinbase
- Bidding has started
- Crafting has started
- New NFL Season
- Flow on OpenSea (maybe?)
- Trading TS/AllDay/UFC in $Flow
- Great projects funded with that $785m
We could be in for an exciting end of 2022 on Flow

Is Top Shot about to go 🛠️FULL UTILITY🛠️?
☑️Yes, market is down (a lot)
☑️Yes, Top Shot is testing new features
☑️Yes, Utility is NEEDED
But there's a misconception about WHERE it will come from:
⭕️It won't come from the App
🟢It will come from you, the User
Yes, a thread🔻

14/ Thanks for reading
This stuff is new to the NFT Class of 2021, and most of the NFT projects we love aren't there yet.
But if you can be patient, kind, and curious, you'll find your way just fine.

It's time for NFTs to grow up.
Its been pretty much the same ideas since the Top Shot/BAYC boom from over 12 months ago.
We need a good shakeout of projects.
Evolve or die.
56
19
289
7/ Look At Projects You Love
Web3 is a world changer
When
@b_asselstine
showed me ENS, I was instantly hooked. The project is an instant solve for Payments and Social Identity.
So what projects do YOU see out there that YOU think will play a big role in Web3?
Go hard on those
2
7
266
12/ Consider Holding
Don't get me wrong; a juicy profit is very nice.
But I sold my $UNI and $AXS way too early because I was greedy and didn't take the time to comprehend the full scope of the project
Some of these projects are incredibly important
Treat them with respect!

TFM is a top shot account where we literally put out 3x podcasts, 3x newsletters, and about 25+ tweets per week about Top Shot. We literally just hosted a 3-day promotional event with 5k+ sign ups sponsored by Top Shot.
so you can fuck right off with that.

We're all excited about $Flow and Top Shot longterm. We know there is tons of potential.
But as a holder and critic, seeing "750,000+ Owners" feels like I'm being gaslit.
30 Day Buyers = 38,583
All Time Buyers = 429,865
What are those 320k other accounts??
41

249
5/ Read The Charts!
Again for past airdrops. The distribution will give you insight into whats happening with these tokens.
Note the size of the TREASURY, which will be used to fund:
- Community Built Tools
- Ecosystem Growth
- Staking (high % APR), which incentivizes holding
1
12
235
Strategy for
@nbatopshot
in 2022 is pretty simple imo:
- Collect Full Sets for potential airdrops
- Stack your CS to qualify for queues
- Get what you love (players, teams) in the off chance they do a promo
- Slowly stack tickets for eventual use beyond S1 packs
what else?

People like ALL DAY
And people dislike TOP SHOT
Yet I keep hearing "it's the same team, why can't they just make TS as good"
They are not the same product.
They do not have the same history.
They will not have the same outcome.
Why? A few reasons.

I honestly thought Flow Fest packs were a crazy fucking idea when the
@flow_blockchain
team told me about them.
But seeing people discover awesome projects through them shows there was genius there.
Plus there is NOTHING like cracking a pack.
Lets hope for round 2 in 2022!

People used to say Social Media was dumb.
They would say it on TV, the radio, websites, and in online chat forums.
Now those same people are saying NFTs are dumb.
And they're using Social Media to say it😂

the wildest thing I learned while writing about Autograph:
the team allegedly impersonated Tom Brady in the discord and did an AMA
and the community CAUGHT them: Brady was at practice when it happened 😱

NFTs are exciting. But they are also overwhelming.
Every day there are so many incredible projects worth looking into.
You can't collect each one.
You can't win each time.
You can't stay up all night.
Pick the ones you love, follow every single word, and bet on your own taste

Happy that ppl liked my $ENS Airdrop thread
To clarify my advice:
Don't hunt for profits
Hunt for utility and impact
Don't click just to click
Take notes, take time, force yourself to learn
Don't buy what others buy
Watch, listen, be curious
Chase passion. Profit will follow

The NFL ALL DAY Market Cap is up 39% since the last pack drop (four weeks ago).
It cannot be any clearer:
No new supply + Reduction in future supply
= positive marketplace behavior
= much better value for collectors
= overall better vibe

When it pumps, you wish you bought more.
When it dumps, you wish you sold more.
A few weeks ago:
- BAYC was ~32 ETH
- MAYC was ~4 ETH
- Cool Cats was ~7 ETH
- Doodles was hype and below ~1.4 ETH
Collect what you like.
Believe in it when the market is slow.
Thats all.

@TheFirstMint
Its about the current supply/demand issues in card-style NFT sports projects
in short:
> New supply arrives
> Floor go down (dilution)
> Sentiment down
> Utility expected
> more supply rejected
So how to fix? /1

Every brand wants to be in NFTs.
But many fail to see as a true commitment, not just a sales channel.
Dropping NFTs can’t just fall to one person’s desk to spend 5% of their time on.
You need a full time team that lives and breathes community.

Quick PSA for buying $Flow or $FUSD
1. Go to
@Uniswap
. Trade for $USDT (not USDC)
2. Go to Bloctoswap and hit "Teleport". Connect your Blocto wallet + Metamask
3. Teleport your $USDT for some $tUSDT
4. Trade $tUSDT for currency of choice
Tedious, but easiest way I've found.
