As I’m a bit late with some Twitter threads on Marketing I owe the community (I want to do a series of them, so it’s a big longer and requires a bit more organization than usual, even when we all know a bit of chaos is something we all like on CT), I’ll just make this post (again) an assortment of curiosities, fragments, ideas, maybe, sights from different places.
The lists of mints in Solana keep getting bigger every day. The whitelist grinding keeps getting more ridiculous (you can’t imagine the things I’ve seen people do). I’ve been talking with a couple people that actually work grinding on the chats (we’ve all seen how artificial that looks, the last two places I remember seeing it were Ballonsville 🎈 and the Lofts 🌆, and we know how those two have ended so far). So, they actually work all day writing non-stop in chats, and when they get the WL token, they resell it. Sometimes, they mint and resell, but that’s even riskier so they don’t normally do it. Isn’t it insane? I mean, we’re creating jobs, or something, that should be good?
Either way, last two days I was whitelisted (not grinding, I’m awful at it) in Vanguards and Alpha bots (?). Both of them had over 2 thousand wallets submitted for Whitelist and both of them got less than, what, 500 mints each? People (and yes, that includes me) are just getting WL just in case there’s enough demand at some point. And no, if you’re a project reading this, it doesn’t mean that you have to make the tests even harder and more complicated… That’ll just make things even worse and you’ll end up with people that find absolutely no satisfaction and joy from your project, even before minting it. Either way, the world situation is quite complicated as well, isn’t it? There are plenty of other things to worry about, too. I wonder about the market, yes, of course, I’d like to make some money, maybe at some point get a DAA. Numbers are bad, they don’t look good. Either way, have you guys heard of the roaring twenties? If we would know each other IRL, you’d have heard me talk about the roaring twenties often, let’s say.
History, it has a way of repeating itself in similar ways, that’s not always so nice. Either way… Also, I wanted to let you all know! I’m having a blast looking at my phone wallpaper and seeing one of my Trash Pandas. It looks amazing! Monoliff is a beast. I’ve also been doing wallpapers for a lot of people, and I’m so grateful to be able to share that with all of you, so you have it in your phones and see one of the NFTs you love in your screen. If you don’t have at least one NFT you love, it might be time to focus on getting one, doesn’t matter if it has a low FP, you might be stuck with it for a while… Anyway, did I mention this is NFA and all? Anyway, whatcha thinking? If things are going to slow down, and you’ve read all the way to down here, why don’t we just keep building? Let’s focus on all the cool things we want to do in the near future… They take time, so now we’ve got time to focus on building. Send a DM, chat around.
Also, preparing some new pieces to share soon. All I can say is that it’s going to be 9 pieces in total, and it’s going to be poetry-related. Let’s see.
