In today’s SDF with Laird, I explain why SDF is different, and not just in one way. We’ll break it down across three angles: • Why SDF is different in crypto: real ideas, real incentives, real revenue• Why SDF is different in web3: actual transparency, strong focus on actual gameplay and user experience • Why SDF is different in fantasy sports: ownership without lineups, less DNP stress, and a system built around enjoyment If you’ve bounced off crypto projects, web3 games, or traditional fantasy sports before, this episode explains why SDF might finally feel right.

The second half of the Sorare season is nothing like the first, and that’s going to change how everyone plays.In today’s Sorare with Laird, I’m joined by Harry Trades to break down why the dynamics of the game shift so dramatically after the midpoint of the season, especially in Rare and Super Rare competitions.We’ll discuss:• Why there are fewer cards available on the market as the season goes on• How XP gains and collection bonuses make existing cards significantly more powerful• Why lineup strength starts to matter more than raw spending• How this impacts buying, selling, and roster construction in the second half• What managers should be doing now to prepare for what’s comingIf your early season strategy relied on easy upgrades and plentiful supply, the back half of the season can be a wake-up call. This stream is about understanding that shift and adapting before you fall behind.Join Harry's YouTube Community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8HSj8vZDHSGmk5yP46SjtQ/membershipBecome a Laird Social Club Member: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

At what point does the current scarcity system stop working?On today’s Sorare with Laird, I break down when Sorare may be forced to introduce a new card scarcity—and why that moment might be closer than many people think. We’ll talk through supply growth, user expansion, lineup congestion, threshold pressure, and how each existing scarcity tier functions as the ecosystem scales.This isn’t about predicting an announcement—it’s about understanding the structural signals that would make a new scarcity inevitable, and what that could mean for collectors, competitors, and long-term strategy.👍 Don't forget to like and subscribe!🤝 Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

In this episode of SorareAndrews, we ask an uncomfortable question: are we fake collectors?Sorare is built on NFTs, ownership, and collecting, but most of the time, our decisions are driven by incentives, bonuses, competitions, and short-term utility. Collection rewards, thresholds, XP boosts, and promo mechanics often matter more than whether a card is actually collectible in any meaningful way.We’ll talk about:• Why “collecting” on Sorare often means optimizing incentives• How rewards and mechanics shape behavior more than passion• Whether Sorare NFTs are treated as collectibles or just tools• The disconnect between NFT ownership and emotional attachment• What real collecting could look like in the Sorare ecosystemThis isn’t about blaming players, it’s about examining how the game nudges us to behave, and whether that lines up with the idea of NFTs as true collectibles.Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

It’s a forward-looking discussion about where Sorare should be heading next, what’s missing right now, and which changes would meaningfully improve the experience for committed managers.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Join Harry's YouTube community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8HSj8vZDHSGmk5yP46SjtQ/membership🤝 Become a member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Sorare just made a big announcement: its platform is now open to builders.On today’s stream, I’ll break down what “open Sorare” actually means in practice, not just the marketing language. We’ll talk about:• What Sorare opening its API and Solana stack enables• The types of tools, games, and products Sorare is encouraging• How this could impact third-party tools, analytics, and scouting• What it means for managers, collectors, and the broader Sorare ecosystem• The opportunities and the risks of a more open platformThis could be a major inflection point for Sorare, depending on how it’s executed. Let’s dig into it.🤝 Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

In today’s episode of SorareAndrews, we’re doing a full evaluation of the Sorare third-party ecosystem. We’ll walk through the tools we think should exist, the features we wish existed, and the ones we’re not even sure are out there yet. That’s where we’ll need the audience: tell us what you use, what we’re missing, and what actually moves the needle for you.Then we’ll jump into several third-party platforms live and assess whether they’re genuinely helpful, overrated, under-developed, or essential for better decision-making. If you’ve ever wondered which tools are worth your time—or which features Sorare players desperately need—this is the episode for you.🤝 Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird
