I’m immensely proud to close off 2023 with some stats 🥹
According to
@MessariCrypto
data we were Web3’s;
🥇Most active accelerator🌏
🥇Most active investor🌍
When many in vc left, at
@OVioHQ
we stepped up to support founders
Big thank you to the team & partners💪
So here it is. After months of development our updated investment thesis 📝
The Open Metaverse OS.
An exploration & framework for how
#web3
innovations like sovereignty of identity, data & digital wealth,
#NFTs
&
#DeFi
convergence with the Metaverse
So it’s official 🎉
We are now not just the worlds most active accelerator in
#web3
🥇
But the most active web3 investor full stop based on Q1 data.
& that’s still investing in sub 3% of applications
A huge congratulations to the whole
@OVioHQ
crew on getting us here 🥹
The NFT community is no longer fringe. It’s the very apex of culture, tech & finance.
It’s literally the centre of the Metaverse.
And right on cue I’m going to drop a 3 part (3 hour) audio documentary on the ‘History & Future of NFTs’
A homage to its innovators… ⏰
I love
#BAYC
but honestly the
@flufworld
ecosystem is already everything it wants to build / become..
Just fewer folk and celebs realise it yet… just a matter of time ⏰
SAVE this tweet.
The flippening will happen.
1/21🧵
Here is a tweetstorm⛈️about
@flufworld
🐰
If you are going to read this you should know that watching every video in this thread or shared tweets is MANDATORY❗️😅
So why I'm so excited about the Fluf ecosystem? What is coming next? What are the opportunities to join?👇
Holy shit this documentary on
#NFTs
is gold. Can’t wait to share it with the world 🌍
Yes I’m adding 4 hours onto an already 12 hour day interviewing OGs (founders, creators, collectors) but it’s going to be worth it.
Inbound transfers for FARM, FET, PAX and POLY are now available in the regions where trading is supported. Traders cannot place orders and no orders will be filled. Trading will begin on or after 9AM PT on Tuesday July 27, if liquidity conditions are met.
The
@futureverse
initiative will be the leading open metaverse (native) media and technology platform.
And the first vertically integrated one.
Full stack and media IP franchise.
$ROOT
Hey
@cz_binance
lots of great early stage startups & builders are going to be impacted post FTX.
Let’s work together to deploy that $1 billion recovery fund, not just at later stage but seed & series A.
This is ultimately where a better future for Web3 is going to come from
I think $FET could turn out to be one of the best performers of 2021.
& that is saying something! 😅
(Just an observation, not investment advice & yes
@OVioHQ
is one of their major holders)
Remembering my mother today 💐
and to think she was just 3 years older than I am now when she finally passed after battling cancer.
Note to self: don’t sweat the little stuff & make the most of every damn day you get 👊
Something wrong with me 🆘
I had a waking dream all night that I MUST tweet 🐥 to the world;
In time individuals would be in so many DAOs they would need
@Fetch_ai
agents to represent their interests through game theory
& they would be overseen by a Boss Agent
That’s it
So
@futureversexyz
has been quietly blossoming in the bear market.
Now🥈in unique wallets (with 12.6k)
My bet is in the next 3 months they overtake
@yugalabs
and secure🥇
& the wonderful thing is the entry point is significantly more affordable
I've heard if you use your
#BAYC
as your Twitter profile pic you become instantly more popular.
I've resisted such things but thought I would finally give it a go in a quick test
If I gain an additional 1k followers in the next 24 hrs I'm going to keep it up... ;)
#NFTs
ok late to this one but just went in on my first
@RealSupDucks
will bag a few more this weekend..
- Shroom Boom 0.28%
- Zebra 2%
- Gold Chain White Tee 4%
- Curios 7%
- Bubble Gum 8%
How did I do
@frankynines
?
#supduck
Honestly I’m totally convicted about
#crypto
and the Open Metaverse but when you hear how enthused a legendary macro investor like
@RaoulGMI
is about it all it is really comforting..
to him crypto IS macro.
The ultimate macro trade.
You are going to ❤️ his one☝️
I remember when
@aronvanammers
and I wrote the first ticket into
@Fetch_ai
back in late 2017 and began work on designing $FET
5 years and 3 cycles later and it’s time has come 👀
The world has finally connected the dots as to why AI needs to be decentralised and tokenised
I’ve got to say this. I’ve been really disappointed by the
@ballmatthew
and
@garyvee
interviews with Zuck on
@Meta
It’s quite incredible that neither of them thought to ask probing questions around;
Privacy, User Data, Security & the Currencies that underpin Meta economy.
What
#NFT
innovators / creators need to realise is the space just got a lot more noisy & competitive
No one cares if you an OG. Everyone is now an ‘expert’ and noobs flooding won’t be able to tell the difference
No point complaining about it. Just need to up your game.
Being a good artist is not enough to ‘succeed’ in this next wave of
#NFT
mania 🌊 (I mean 💰)
An artist needs to be into the community, hustle in socials, into & referential to its memes and into its economic experimentation
They need to think like a startup founder
After nearly a decade of leading
@OVioHQ
as CEO, the company I founded back in 2014, I am happy to announce I will be taking on the role of Chairman, and would like to introduce our new CEO, friend & business partner
@StephanApel
🤝
So $FET up 50% today and ATH volumes, $300m today alone.
I hope you’ve not been sleeping on this..
I’ve only been talking about
@Fetch_ai
for 5 years!
And the Agent Based Web hasn’t even got going… search engines, websites, manual e-commerce all become invisible!
Congrats to
@futureverse
on raising an additional $54m
And a big welcome to
@DTAPCAP
and our friends at
@10TFund
to the cap table!
Look at 10Ts portfolio, this is a big endorsement from an industry giant 👀
Congrats
@Fetch_ai
crew.
Deploying the power of AEAs (Autonomous Economic Agents) not only to
#DeFi
but now
#NFTs
Can’t believe people are still sleeping in $FET
Thrilled to announce we are working with
@TheSandboxGame
! The OGs of Metaverse!
Using Biconomy, they saved their users $600K+ in gas fees for migrating their LAND to a new contract!
the next BIG thing in
#NFTs
is 'Generative Collectibles' (but onchain) and it's going to lead to a group of multi-millionaires who can never explain how they made their wealth to normies.
I am the
#NFT
Unicorn 🦄 hunter.
I hunt down degens 🎯
wash them 🧽
incorporate them 🏦
package them up 📦
wrap with a team of executors 💀
shower 🚿 them with💰
set them on their way.. 🐣
to be a billion dollar company / network & change popular culture forever 🚀
Finally after 15 years and lots of effort behind the scenes I got the blue tick ✅
Hopefully we can finally limit the number of imposters and attempts to defraud my network!
I just had my 5th call in 7 days about major brands or musicians coming into
#NFTs
in the next 2 quarters.
I shit you not. One just told me..
‘2021 is the year of NFTs’.
I reckon that will be the
@Time
,
@WIRED
or
@Forbes
headline front cover at some point this year
Not going to lie this was probably the best discussion (rather than interview) I’ve done in crypto.
Really got to riff with
@RaoulGMI
on some pretty big existential stuff
AND give the relatively untold story of our success at
@OVioHQ
from today’s vantage point.
Do all the artists outraged at the carbon footprint 🌳 of
#NFTs
understand the footprint of The Cloud ☁️ which hosts and streams their work online / in social media today?
Well it’s the same as the global aviation industry ✈️
Best drop
@instagram
@tiktok_us
& all websites too
It feels like;
The Philippines 🇵🇭
Balkans 🇷🇸 🇧🇦 etc
Spain 🇪🇸
New Zealand 🇳🇿
Scandinavia 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇩🇰
Are all punching well above their weight 🥊 in the Open Metaverse for kick ass founders 💻
Never bought a CryptoPunk.
Always felt I was too late / they were too expensive relative to new projects.
I did buy several
#BAYC
and feel
@somewhat
vindicated in that decision now.
FYI I suspect we will see
#FLUFs
on similar charts in the near future.
- Steam bans NFTs
- Epic hints permissioned NFTs
- Facebook hints permissioned NFTs
- Discord users revolt against NFTs
- OpenSea IPOs rather than ICOs
- VRChat removes CryptoAvatars Booth
Platforms have convinced users they don’t want or need property rights.
Long way to go!
Do you know who Weta are?
Wētā FX is the digital visual effects company founded by Peter Jackson
as in Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Avatar FX
So many still don’t realise what
@flufworld
have built.
Not building. Built.

A lot has happened since then. But back in Sept. 2021 we made a bet on what became
@futureverse
…
We took exposure across all assets (NFTs & Tokens) in their Open Metaverse Stack and what become $ROOT
Looks like we were 🎯
Punks showed the way but what’s happening around
#BAYC
🦧 and what’s brewing with
#FLUFs
🐰 is something else
These are bottom up
#Metaverse
1st ecosystem franchises, based on a new form of Community IP
The permissioned-by-ownership & transmedia nature of them is insane.
Aside from $OCEAN being one of the best performers of 2020..
2021 is looking good for the
@OVioHQ
portfolio so far
$CUDOS goes straight into the Top 50 1,500% up (from initial listing price just 7 days ago)
$SCRT 209%, $MTLX 116%, $FET 104%, $DIA 41% (90 day periods)
The security implications of self sovereignty in Web3 are an impossible burden for most users…
