without context.... 

This is nothing new but it something massively important for us to remember in the NFT space.   Data without context or more than one data point is just numbers.   In some cases, NFT projects are using the public transparent to build trust while in other cases some projects are using the fact that we are leveraging data against us by manipulating the data with free mints, having friends or co-founders make big NFT purchases and this trend won't stop any time soon. 

So it's up to us to understand the importance of not just trusting the data or trends that we see at face-value as we must go deeper in the data and go beyond what one tool or platform is telling us about an NFT project or how many mints have happened in the last 30 minutes.  

More to come on this topic but take this as a PSA today and as Spider-man was told...  "With great DATA comes great responsibility!"

In a past life I was a sponsored semi-professional poker player based out of Talking Sticks Casino in Scottsdale Arizona playing in the WSOP and WPT for 5 years....  I was sponsored as the "young kid" yet I sucked at online poker...  Why? My talent was reading body language and studying the other humans at the table leveraging social engineering and my hyperfocus to think differently and play mostly from my gut... Which lets face it thats much harder to do when you're multi-tabling online games on Full Tilt or Poker Stars. In this NFT space there are many places where poker experience comes in handy and as I shared on a past episode with "reading non verbal cues on Opensea" it can show up in many different ways.  

In this episode I focus on:

Trusting your gut and taking action in some cases just to test your theory 

Study what others do and use that against them.

Be the one that manages your focus and works harder than everyone else.

In today's episode, I sit down with MLBer Kevin Smith of the Toronto Bluejays and the founder of MetaAthletes to talk about the project and the future of athletes and NFTs.

This project stands for everything I believe in and I was excited to make this the first NFT project that I joined on as a partner and as you'll hear in the interview this is built around the foundation of building a team, speaking the love and helping each other grow.  It's also what inspired me to share this quote: "Your NFT utility can be to simply help the industry you are in grow together and learn together" 

That is what MetaAthletes is doing with founders Kevin Smith and Drew Cohen and you will want to for sure check out all their content and their first phase mint on Jan 11, 2022.  The mission behind MetaAthletes:

We are pfp collection set to reimagine the way athletes interact with their fanbase. Meta Athletes will serve as a digital mastermind or meta-mind community by generating a platform for professional development for high performers.

Holders of our token will benefit from exclusive access to our partner athletes and access to their coaches/resources. We will also be providing digital and IRL events to strive for a high level of networking benefits for our holders. You might even get a signed bat or puck.   The last pillar of our brand is revolved around the shared mission spread across our community of love and growth. One of our core values will be empowering our community to be a beacon of positivity and love.. so that’s why you’ll see a lot of with our brand.   Links to check out:

In this episode we break down all the different vocab and slang and abbreviations around NFTs from WAGMI to ETH to Wallet to Rug Pull. 

It's easy to get hung up on the vernacular or debate if something is a rug-pull or not but I think its most important to keep things simple and break through the noise not letting things sound complex for complex sake.

Most of the buzz around NFTs happens around the pfp (profile photo) projects as well as the price NFT collections or pieces are sold for.   This episode I wanted to focus on the value of NFTs for those not looking to invest a ton of money or become a massive collector of NFTs but want to embrace the other benefits and value provided by NFTs.

I've learned the hard way as a change evangelist and loud change agent in my life that you can't change anything if you zero influence or power...  Better said..

"We can't change the game unless we are playing the game..." 

So the question we must ask ourselves if we are playing the game..  Are we willing to take a stand, make a difference and support the project and people doing good things or are we making excuses while allowing cultural norms of the past to exist in the web 3.0 world of the future...

Love to hear your take on this you can tag me on social at @iSocialFanz and use the hashtag: #NFT365

To beat the game you must think differently than the majority... 

In a past life I played semi-professional poker and went to a body language bootcamp for 5 days and one of my biggest takeaways was the importance of building a baseline and then testing against that baseline to hone your craft.. 

With the secondary market especially Opensea I believe there is massive value to be found around the 24 hours of art reveal with new projects.  But to do so you need to be able to read the non-verbal cues in listings, properties of collections and even whats the activity of the nft profile you are investigating...  Projects mentioned in this episode:  Mekaverse: https://opensea.io/assets/0x9a534628b4062e123ce7ee2222ec20b86e16ca8f/1385/

When we look to evaluate NFT project its easy to focus on the perks and plans that the founders want to make happen in the future... aka the utility and the perks...  But I feel we really should go beyond that to think about the personal value of that utility as well as the project value of that utility for nonholders of that NFT when that aspect of the roadmap is executed on. 

Projects I highlighted on this episode:

Cryptochicks

M101 Shelter

Playboy Rabbitars

The blockchain enables a layer of transparency and chain of custody that is transforming how we exchange digitial assets such as cryptocurrency and NFTs.   But that transparency is also exposing those who aren't delivering on what they claim and something has got to give.  

We as collectors must demand transparency

We as creators must embrace and understand the role of transparency or be ready to live in a world fueled by crisis management and more!

For episode 50 I thought it would be a great time to SLOW down so that we can SPEED up.  

In this episode, I try to cover all the questions I get around the process of buying and NFT in this wild world of blockchain.

Project Spotlight: Sands Casino Club NFT & SocialoGuer NFT I try to answer these questions on this episode:

What is a wallet?

How why do I need Coinbase and Metamask

Is it ok to share my wallet address

What should I do with my seed phrase

Do I need an opensea account too?

What does it mean to sign my wallet to a minting website

Do my NFTs live on Opensea?

How do I sell my NFT

Should I use collabLand in Discord after I buy an NFT

What are the types of ways to sell NFT on Opensea

Who do I call when I mess up?

Spoiled the last answer isn't ghostbusters but sadly there isn't really an answer as its all on us the owners and users.
