2023 Year in Review
Crypto moves too fast and doesn’t allow us to reflect on:
1. Learning, to apply them
2. Achievement, to feel good
3. Appreciation, to show gratitude
I wanted to take this opportunity to be soft and hopefully accomplish all 3 in one thread👇🧵
just sold my
@y00tsNFT
t00b and have the most SOL I've ever had (not much haha) Want to invest in a couple projects long term
looking at
@Claynosaurz
@okaybears
@FamousFoxFed
and
@oogyNFT
gib me honest recs - inclusive of "it's literally just the art no utility"
Shoutout to the
@MagicEden
team hearing out the community and re-allowing
@hyperspacexyz
users to use
@coralcubenft
!
Excited for:
1. ME to deny any responsibility
2. People to forget this all happened
3. Return again to using the Web2 platform
🧵/ Introducing MagicShield! In order to protect the community from listings on Web2 marketplaces, now blurs out the ME logo for your safety. Of course, it's 100% your decision to list wherever you'd like as we believe wholeheartedly in decentralization.
3 predictions for the next week
1.
@MagicEden
announces "optional creator royalties" and position it as giving the community a choice
2. projects & influencers they've spoken to will praise them for their continued innovation
3. people will call them out & forget their hypocrisy
🧵
@hyperspacexyz
is proud to announce we are joining forces w/ Solana, a Web3 community.
Since they started, the Solana community built one of the most performant, fun, and degenerate ecosystems in all of Web3.
any Christians in Web3? would love to start a group chat where we can share verses / prayer requests
non-Christians welcome too. Been lacking fulfillment lately and thought this would be a good way to use the network
so
@dust_labs
is creating an end to end suite of software for mass adoption
the points system they just introduced feels very Starbucks rewards to me, and Frankly very easy to understand. Normies don't care for "staking" they just want points for purchases & discounts
I'm just going to keep reminding everyone that
@hyperspacexyz
:
- respects creator royalties
- 1% seller fees
- aggregates all listings, including AMMs
- allows for collections bids
- lets you keep your NFT in your wallet when you list
- is the floor
No need for Twitter space in 30 min.
@MagicEden
can you address:
- how you snaked
@cardinal_labs
- how you snaked
@metaplex
- how you asked projects to go to 0% in trade of backdoor fees
- how you block aggregators and are one yourself
in front of the whole community?
ok seriously don't tell anyone at
@hyperspacexyz
- leaking this and risking my safety for the community. Coming soon. DM me for details before my account gets deleted
just a friendly reminder that
@hyperspacexyz
shows the correct NFTs, does not show porn or big bang theory, respects creator royalties, has a 1% fee, supports 200+ ecosystem projects via API, has a team of (nice) chads, and is the floor
a recommendation for
@y00tsNFT
&
@frankdegods
as a holder:
the biggest reason I applied for
@y00tlist
(outside of wanting to make future $$$) is the access to a curated list of people in the Solana ecosystem. That's what made y00ts unique. Please use that to your advantage (1/n)
upcoming for
@hyperspacexyz
:
-
@ElixirNFT
aggregation
- selling into
@hadeswap
- creator royalties solutions
- real time data
- launchpad integration with candy machine v3
A new wave of Solana bluechips is here.
It's different this time. No inflated promises of utility, no one hiding behind a mask.
Founders who've learned from past mistakes, industry veterans vouched by others. People that show up IRL events and everyone has seen face to face.
tldr dumbed down
-
@MagicEden
pretended to be working with
@cardinal_labs
and stabbed them in the back
-
@MagicEden
&
@redacted_j
are acting like heroes for so they can be in control
-
@MagicEden
facilitated 6 MILLION SOL+ of creator royalty avoidance and blames others
I bet a lot of long time Solana folks disappear in the next few weeks either silently or with a thread on why. Some will return in the next bull run with "why I'm back 🧵"

@y00tlist
- excited to join the community of builders, degens, influencers, and frens. Shoutout to
@frankdegods
and team for what may be the most brilliant marketing campaign Web3 has seen.
Started nfts 8 months ago. Sold a new car, I lost an amazing girlfriend, I lost a shitload of money and I can't afford a house this spring. I get rugged every weekend, I'm always home. I hate life. Do yourselves a favor.
Stop trying to make nfts. We need real utility
.
@frankdegods
you said yesterday on our stream that our biggest downfall was calling out other platforms, and now it seems like you're the champion of livestreams and calling out other platforms. Are we writing the playbook for you too now
the classic Solana NFT ecosystem cycle:
1. something controversial happens
2. everyone calls out everyone
3. there's a twitter space where no real answers are given and the same 10 people talk
4. "let's all build together in love"
5. back to
#1
there are
@cryptopunksnfts
bridged from ETH to SOL on
@hadeswap
pools being bought through
@hyperspacexyz
aggregation right now. Read that ten times again and you probs still can't believe it. This is what makes NFTs fun and cool
I know you can't DM since you blocked me, but please feel free to join our Discord and give us feedback on the creator royalty solution
@ChartFuMonkey
!
if you supported
@hyperspacexyz
from the start we welcome you
if you faded
@hyperspacexyz
until recently we welcome you
the only thing 0% about us is bullshit
as other claims in this podcast have been proven false, for my sanity and low level of faith in humanity, can reps from
@MagicEden
and
@frankdegods
deny publicly that ME did not backdoor fees to DeGods in trade of going 0 creator royalties? I genuinely hope it's just a conspiracy
So
@hyperspacexyz
is clearly on the come up - and frankly, it's well deserved. But like others, we'll make mistakes and ideally things don't get to our heads.
If we ever get cocky, remind us of our beginnings and call us out. Don't let us become you know who
for those waiting for the
@Claynosaurz
pfp tool:
1. find the NFT on
@hyperspacexyz
and click "View on Solscan"
2. View URI Metadata under "Metadata" tab
3. Scroll down and find the png file
4. :)
I spoke about NFTs at a crypto literacy program for NYC middle schoolers, sponsored by BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes.
Here's my 3 takeaways:
🏫 The next generation's technology literacy is exponentially faster than ours, there's NO barrier to entry for understanding Web3
🏫
few reminders for
@hyperspacexyz
:
- we aggregate across all marketplaces
- we aggregate AMMs
- our fees are 1%
- when you list on Hyperspace, your NFT stays in your wallet
- our contract respects creator royalties
- our team responds and is responsible
- we are the floor
bullish things about Solana rn:
- stability in price
- Influencers jumping to Aptos
- creator royalty discussions
- Breakpoint next week

The
@MadLadsNFT
drop has shown that NFT drops has revolutionized what it means to build a product & company. It worked out perfectly for the
@xNFT_Backpack
team, considering their product revolves around the next evolution for NFTs.
Their execution flow is as follows:
1. Build
Truly
@MadLadsNFT
is the gift that keeps on giving. When
@armaniferrante
and
@yver__
teased a snapshot today, I was expecting a simple airdrop.
As always, they beat all expectations and delivered generational wealth.
Bullish on their dev expertise, industry maturity, grand
