nfts are dead
as we once knew them
in the past, people would mainly buy due to wanting price to go up, airdrops, etc.
yes, there’s still some of that, but we’re starting to see a transition into people who actually want to buy in purely from a community or collectibility standpoint
this is great for the future sustainability and growth of the best brands! exciting times ahead.

The number one marking strategy for any crypto product is to make your early users rich. That’s it.
Either through an edge in tooling (axiom)
Or an airdrop (Hyperliquid)
But the days of just straight air drops are over. you have to have something that works pretty well to go with it AND IMPORTANTLY the air drops must come from fees or revenue.
So if you make 1$ in revenue from fees from people using your product, then you can air drop 1$ or less.
If you air drop more than that you will get fukt.

Today is a huge milestone for @AbstractChain.
For months all I heard was "Abstract is only for degens, where is the retail onboarding they promised?"
Well now we're powering @redbullracing's digital collectible campaign with @Gate_io, allowing users to mint race collectibles from various F1 races.
Super proud of everyone for pulling off this activation. Make sure you collect every collectible across the 3 race days this weekend for a badge at the end!

everything’s green. your heart’s racing.
your group chat is back. your ex just texted you back.
you feel it. this is the one.
but zoom out. the bull doesn’t reward speed, it rewards conviction. it’s not about what’s hot, it’s about what survives the heat.
you can copy trades,
you can follow influencers,
you can farm the same ponzis everyone else is farming;
but the deepest conviction comes from reading.
from asking dumb questions.
from clicking into docs nobody links to.
from watching github commits when no one else is watching.
this market rewards narrative, but it compounds edge.
find your rabbit hole.
dig until you’re the one explaining it to others. that’s how you earn the right to size up. that’s how you stop fomoing into noise.
not “what’s the next pump?”
but “what have i understood so deeply i’d be willing to build on it?”
choose that.
and when the market reverts to chaos when attention fades & timelines rot,
you won’t just be holding bags.
you’ll be holding insight.
the kind that prints when others panic.
the kind that builds when others bail.
the kind that survives every cycle and still hungers for more.
stop following, and start creating. you have what it takes.
