Without question the one of the hottest NFTs this week was The Inbetweeners which dropped Dec 24th but really took off once the art was revealed on the 25th.   But this project has so many unique aspects not to mention it might be the most authentic celebrity / big name musician drop we've seen in a long time.  As Justin Bieber teamed up with artist GIANPIERO who works with Snoop Dogg and Justin on Drewhouse...  But I feel the real magic of this drop and the rise was in the combination an integration of MANTRA + MESSAGE + EMOTION...  "Global community focused on spreading love & positivity"

This is a long episode but based on the feedback we got from the live audience listening on twitter spaces.....  you will be hooked from start to finish.   On Dec 12th I jumped into a Twitter space to have something to listen to in the background and I saw this cool "black and gold" pfp on stage for an NFT project which of course caught my eye.   After 20 minutes of listening to the founder of this project called "Expansion Punks" I was impressed and jumped over to Opensea to check it out as I haven't in the past been a fan of derivative type NFT projects.  When I arrived on Opensea I hit refresh a couple of times because I heard mention that it was a 10k pfp project but OS was only showing 3k or so items.  It was then that I realized this project launched 4 months ago and hadn't sold out.. 20 minutes later as I heard Jeremy Posvar the founder of Expansion Punks share the story about his daughters seeing his CryptoPunk and asking to see a female in a hoodie CryptoPunk and him realizing those didn't exist I was hooked...  But trust me that was just the start....  "Tweet I sent on Dec 12th Went with 3 @ExpansionPunks as I love the mission of diversity and inclusiveness... 2 of our 3 are non-binary and #12469 is the rarity of 765 and it's for our Mint 365 NFT

I shared these tweets over the next 24 hours as I minted 3 (1 for Mint 365) and 2 for myself as I become a massive fan of Xpunks the community. But the more time I spent listening to Jeremy share about his strategy and attention to detail the more I realized this project might have "amber" backgrounds but I believe it's setting the GOLD STANDARD for NFT projects from mint to mission to community experience.  Tweet I sent on Dec 13th BULLISH Mint 365 Xpunk #12469

Make sure to follow the project and check out the website and Xpunks across all the social channels I can promise you that you won't be disappointed!  Expansion Punks:

Today’s episode is a GUEST show… 

I jumped on Twitter spaces to talk to Michelle McCormack the founder of Fierce NFTs 💋 fashionable non-fungies. 

We talked about their project, the role NFTs will play in fashion, the importance of utility and community and the ways Fierce is focused on partnerships with Sacouny, a famous rapper to be named later and Bored Becky of Fame Ladies Squad. 

Give the show a listen and make sure to check out the project as we minted a Fierce Studios NFT on Day 30 of #Mint365 project which you can see here: https://opensea.io/assets/0xfd1f39c04fc0ca7e54955687b55d858813160ef2/40/

NFTs might come across as sunshine and rainbows for most of the episodes of this podcast as I am extremely optimistic and positive about the transformation of web 3.0.  But we are far from perfect and there are some major issues especially when it comes to major NFT project launches which attract many of the everyday consumers and in many cases people's first attempt at getting an NFT.  

So it's not a good sign that I was 0 for 6 attempting to get the massive hype projects during public sales these past 8 days and I like to believe I know what I'm doing.

On this episode I breakdown a handful of things and add a new segment at the end: 

Must choose which we care more about whales/bots or new community members

Fixing smart contracts and open source sharing of what is working.

Understanding the volatility of a project right now requires activity which means people holding more than one NFT.

Stop judging projects by vaniety like twitter followers or discord members. 

Embrace the power of influencers and thought leaders...  yes you are reading this right.

Block and ignore influencers that aren't authentic as continuing to follow or support them rewards the behavior that isn't good for this community.

Shoutout to CryptoDadsNFT

NEW SEGMENT: 

NFT USE CASES: STAXX Invaders:

"Use launch NFTs as genius or founders passes for future NFTs or access to conferences or virtual events.  Create rewards and incentives for gathering of multiple NFTs or POAPs. "

Check out Staxx Invaders that we minted for Mint 365 here: https://opensea.io/assets/0x0131b36ad41b041db46ded4016bca296deb2136a/0/

Ok....  I've changed my answer and I've really thought long on hard on this question that keeps coming up for those that are interested but stuck on where to start or discover NFTs or even what NFTs are available...  I share these websites but I believe the advice I give is much more valuable on buying your first 3 NFTs and what types you should buy with those first 3 opportunities.  Check out my full collection and the projects I mentioned here: 

NFT Projects I mentioned: https://opensea.io/Fanzo

Fame Ladies NFT

Fierce Models

Playboy Rabbitars

Expansion Punks

NFT discovery websites mentioned on the show:

Opensea.io

Raritysniper.com

Rarity.tools

Mintable.app

Icytools.io

solanart.io

Niftygateway.com

I didn't want to put "Smart contracts" in the title cause I mean it just sounds boring yet it's the foundation for what powers the value and trust of NFT projects today.  Harvard Law explains smart contracts as:

"“Smart contracts” is a term used to describe computer code that automatically executes all or parts of an agreement and is stored on a blockchain-based platform. ... That replication also means that as each new block is added to the blockchain, the code is, in effect, executed."   I try to break it down to an understanding of these 4 key aspects:  1. Pre-Programmed Code 2. Chain of events (If this than that statements) 3. Execution & Transfer of Value based on above 4. Secured and logged transparently on the blockchain   I give some real-world examples and some key aspects to smart contracts within the NFT projects we've minted in our Mint 365 experience on the podcast.    Let us know questions around smart contracts that you might ave by either using the hashtag #NFT365 on Twitter or IG and or tagging Brian Fanzo @iSocialFanz on your favorite social network.

I got a little fired up on these episodes as I shared a little bit more about my story but also my passion for making the world a better place which has led to me buying into many NFT projects that are focused on social good.  But I also have major issues when it comes to those using social good for bad or in a bad way or in a way that doesn't match the story and marketing they are putting out to the world...  

Let's make the world a better place together!!!

It's easy to focus on all the projects that are great or the strategy that we need to develop before we mint an NFT project.  

It's even easier to Monday morning QB a project that got rug pulled that we decided not to mint or the overhyped project we missed out on the raffle but ended up a flop and pat ourselves on the back. 

But I believe one of the most valuable things you can do in this NFT space that most aren't talking about is to be ready at the right time which means Liquidity is everything! 

You'll have to listen to the end for my Kenny Rogers Gambler rendition but I promise you in many scenarios the time we don't buy or the time we prioritize saving our ETH over letting FOMO dictate what we buy will be the moment where your life can change with one NFT. 

I also share my story of missing out on a project that I love but have never owned which is the Lazy Lion project which you can check out here: https://opensea.io/collection/lazy-lions
