It's kinda more on how to find momentum. you watch stuff and if you see suddenly a stalled project take off and start to sell out, there is opportunity to get in and then ride other's fomo for a quick flip. maybe get a chance to find a rare. or even momentum on established projects can turn big profits, but the cost of entry is prohibitive for my budget. But yeah, the traditional find a project, join the discord then on drop day jam gas to mint 10-20 units, sort out rarity quickly and then flip to people who missed the drop is more and more rare now. most of my good flips now are catching stuff that is rising and try to snipe the floor no mater if the project is sound or not. but that takes having ears in a ton of discords and being johnny-on-the-spot with work/family not c-blocking your degen opportunity lol.
The biggest regret is not getting into the ArtBlocks curated sooner. I did not even get into nfts until mid May and had no idea about AB until maybe July, but even a month or 2 sooner would have been nice just seeing all of those projects soar right now.
on the gaming stuff. i have seen some rumbling about the price of SLP (axies utility coin) that keeps dipping making it harder for you or your scholars to earn. i don't know much about axie but like everything else, you need new players coming in to buy the new axies that are bred and bring their new money in the ecosystem. All games need new players to survive and thrive. The crypto raiders will have a built in deflationary tool with perm char death as a possible outcome of raiding a dungeon. chars will die, so even existing players will need to keep playing. I honestly don't know how fun the game will be. It's a 'turn zero' dungeon sim where your only action will be to equip your char in armor/weapons/whatever to kill the underlings and the boss in the there. Then you pull the slot machine lever and see what loot (or death) awaits. very similar to a ZED run race without the death part.
I am a rpg nerd, so it appeals to me, but they are killing it with delivering on what they say they are going to do. Their whole coin/utility could go up in smoke in a heartbeat, but it has been stable since launch 2 weeks ago and is steadily providing $100 a day in passive income before the game has even really launched. already made back what i put in of my own money, so it's free roll at this point. They hired an outside guy to set it up and it seems to be working well. the first case for spending the coin for in-game stuff will come in 2-3 weeks and that will be a good test case. similar to axie, you have to pay the utility coin to breed (or 'recruit' in CR) so this should get real movement into the ecosystem.
sorry, there is no tldr. it's all just cool starry bra.
