On the bright side, we finally know who Peter’s alt is.

so I'm casually working on a piece to share my personal thoughts on the current NFT PFP market + a beginner’s guide to enjoying the "nft community)" although it's been repeatedly delayed due to extreme workload at work (lol) but here's the rough outline should this interest anyone (plz plz): tl;dr: - The NFT PFP market is almost equal to the luxury watch market (h/t @MINHxDYNASTY for the fundamental idea as usual) - Should there ever be an alt szn, demand for PFPs naturally will rise and high chance through the previous ath (I mean btc is ath right - although no one believed) - They also function as a form of leveraged investment on L1 tokens like $ETH, $SOL, and $HYPE (while it WILL go the other way around too lol) - So if you believe in the alt season, it's certainly worth looking into the old and the new Web3 IP's and how the leading mindshares are flowing around onchain (prob @KaitoAI will be also important in this cycle) - 1. Recent Trends - It seems like even crypto newcomers are willing to spend up to around 1 ETH now. - For example, @GoodVibesssClub is apparently leading this trend (will it ever "flip @doodles" now? ;)) - Of course on the lower end, there are second-tier brands of major IPs like @Azuki Elementals around 0.2 ETH. These certainly become good entry points for the newcomers in particular. - But my humble thought is that the cheaper the PFP, the less emotional attachment people tend to have to it… 😅 (again, like how you feel about your favorite watch or your luxury bags) 2. The Next Step Up - Once you're in, your standards tend to rise quickly to something like Azuki (~2 ETH) or even @HypioHL from @HyperliquidX. - I guess once your crypto portfolio passes the $10k range, you start rationalizing some of these purchases as a kind of staking - “just locking it in.” - And once you're this, you can never go back (the addiction starts lol) - For instance the @Solana lovers might pick up something like @MadLads just as a flex after making a big bag in the bull run - Especially if you’re attending a Solana event, you will see so many fire @Backpack merch too - naturally you may find yourself on @MagicEden back at home 3. At the Top - There’s @BoredApeYC, often brushed off easily, but it still has a floor price of 13 ETH (never fade the best club) - As mid-range PFPs gain popularity, the "OGs" who forgot they had these and may start looking for new ways to differentiate themselves. - But again, when you’re not interested, you’re never interested.. again just like the luxury market. (didn't mention @cryptopunksnfts because it's in the realm of the fine art history.. 👑 if you're rich enough) 4. At This Point in the Cycle... - When the market gets to this level, we’ll see a flood of knockoffs and derivatives of popular PFPs (the "weak tech" that @cdixon would say imho 😁) - You will see the cool collab managers getting extremely busy and they will probably stop replying to your dm's - This will probably be above the "shoulder" in the good ol' Tulip cycle (if it ever comes.. lol) - now for an anti-thesis: Cases where people can differentiate themselves without NFT PFPs: 1. The top KOL's and well-known figures already have instantly recognizable @x pfp's like @blknoiz06 @0xWenMoon @simonkim_nft (they don't need the NFT PFPs to boost their reputation): → Plus it's easy to make the actual custom high quality PFPs with the smart autonomous bots now 2. Info-fi projects like @KaitoAI and @cookiedotfun are already very widespread (just being ranked in one of these is enough to show off social status): → We’re already in a perfect competition era of Status-as-a-Service. 3. Even low-floor, meme coin-based communities may rise without needing expensive PFPs. - When $HYPE first surged + naturally there are symbols created for their religious activities - Also (not a long time ago but..), new meme coin ATHs like @zerebro or @itsafwog gave people effectively more fun and status boost with their new PFPs minted versus the already popular ones - Wrapping up with some other minor thoughts: - The actual image of a PFP actually matters: See Yapybara by @KaitoAI. nuff said - But of course you need some fundamental values like their actual product + robust and sustainable internal/external marketing fees based airdrop scheme - Then over the long run, at the end of the day, it really comes down to...: the people behind the PFPs. ending with a not very much verifiable and accurate point but it's really the people behind the PFP's that either make the people buy or not buy the expensive jpegs → If the leading figures in either Web3 or Web2 industries are not liking/leveraging the NFT PFPs, who will? → And if there is no demand to the NFT PFPs' 1. status-as-a-servce 2. monetary leverage points, what's the existential meanining of them? (versus just creating dope shit fine arts offline or making cool 1/1 digital arts) In other words..: - Will wee see robust & scalable tech + community + business + art (?) integration like @pudgypenguins ? - Or will more look like @KaitoAI 's dashboard-first growth playbook (and make people buy more Yapybara? lol jk) - Also, as more Web2 companies explore crypto, will they prefer to collaborate with existing Web3 IPs, or will they simply create/use their own brand IPs? - Or, even maybe moves like the @moonbirds IP sale, will we see more robust M&A etc in the seemingly "good" Web3 IP's? (would love to know what's criminally underrated if this would be the case... asking for a fren) Anyway, it become very clear again... that we're still so early. so much room for growth in the market in the industry, and... I just hope I'll be at least a foot into one when the world wants our jpegs again see you on the other side! ;)

ALT SZN

Hiện tại thị trường khá xấu, cả altcoin và meme hnay đều đỏ. Vẫn kỳ vọng t6 meme có 1 sóng ngon dòng tiền mạnh ae đều húp. #Altcoins có 1 sóng ae chơi alt chốt ra được cho đỡ khổ. Nhưng nhận thấy mùa này trade vẫn ngon hơn Hold, nếu hold chỉ nên chọn $btc Về meme mùa này chưa đẩy được con nào căng đét lên vài lít là thui, dòng tiền phân phối quá loãng, nên kể cả alt và meme cũng nên theo trend, chứ đừng hold lâu hết trend r vẫn hold là lỏ mùa này, chắc chắn nhất thì cứ x2 x3 chốt gốc hoặc 50% còn lại gồng, còn con nào lỏ mình chấp nhận, meme phân bổ vốn chơi chứ kp con nào cũng ăn đc, 2 nữa chơi meme thì chơi vốn mà mình chấp nhận được khi rủi ro tâm lý với thoải mái. và chơi phải xanh chín. Vài ngày tới thị trường ấm lên lại kiếm trend ae chiến.

Is this his new alt?!
