MonkeyF0cker Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 This has nothing to do with my ego. If I'm wrong, that's fine. I hope the people here who are in those markets make some decent money with it. I'm just stating my opinion. I just laid out my reasons why I haven't and won't be participating in it. I think it deserves a lot of caution and I have yet to be convinced that it has a viable use case for the current prices. We'll see in time.

MonkeyF0cker Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 If the choice is between that NFT and a house that I can rent out for recurring, passive income on top of appreciation, I think the choice is easy. Between form and function, I'll choose function every time. That's how my brain is wired and that will probably never change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiders72 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 My son is even in on Axie Infinity. I staked him a small amount and told him he's now on his own. He had two 95s that he bred and got a 98 so he's happy. He plays daily to complete the missions.. I have 99s and 100s that I'm breeding for a farm.

I've just piggybacked Tails starting with VeVe. He has to be up at least 7 figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent ones like bored apes have gone crazy, with top apes now getting offers of close to a million. There's a learning curve - you'll need to have eth loaded into a metamask wallet, which you'll then connect to a site like opensea (to buy on the secondary market) or the minting sites (if buying at drop). I would not recommend buying at drop - especially if you're new to eth transactions and gas, because transactions can fail leaving you out the gas fee, which are crazy high at drop times. And also because if you buy secondary, you can get one you pick yourself rather than a random one. Even if you guys aren't in NFTs yet, definitely learn how to use Metamask. Add the Matic, DRK, and Binance Smart Chain Networks and you'll be set to go with almost everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailsyoulose Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I mentioned chainfaces in a previous post. Yesterday a guy from Sotheby's tweeted this: Im noticing a lot more interest in these now. They've been a serious sleeper, but I won't be surprised to see them go under the hammer at Christies one day as well. Right now floor faces are super cheap, but a better move is to make low-ball offers on ones with 100% symmetry or a decent bear percentage. You never know, someone might let one go for 0.4 eth.

tailsyoulose Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 A sale for about 5 eth on a face followed that tweet. One of the highest sales ever. Lot of others coming in for 2+ eth now too. This project is gaining steam - I figured it would eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never pass up a money making opportunity so you may want to look into these again. Right now I'm looking at the gaming NFTs. Not only is it a game but some have added a gambling aspect. Playing a game can be addictive and now there's gambling to the mix. The other thing that happens is close to the time of a drop, the price jumps for those that have tokens.

raiders72 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 For a lot of these, prices are listed in ETH. Most offers stand and ignore the ETH fluctuation. This also plays a role in flipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiders72 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 WVU and Monkey. I can see your point of view on the NFTs that are purely art. But I think theses gaming NFTs are going to change the whole gaming industry. Kids love skins in Fortnite. Now they can not only buy a unique character, but they can buy weapons, land and breed.

You are gonna make a ton of money. Off topic, but dont neglect the cardano DeFi scene either. Get something staking in those ada pools. Ray network will have a comprehensive suite of tools for cardano, including: wallet, dex, slick nft marketplace, graphQL api for cardano, staking, and more. You can stake in that pool, get XRAY tokens, AND keep the ada rewards as well. Price is pegged at 22c but will go to a dollar easily. This one could also be a total monster on cardano, given how good the dev team is, the tools, and how early they are to the game. 20.0 (4-5b mc) is not out of the question here. That would be a 100x from here. Other options - CSWAP (this is the big one - you can still stake cards/eth LP for it but I'd suggest just buying it on uni for 10c... It will do a 30x easily imo). Minswap stake pool opens on Aug 18, and you can also keep your ada rewards from that one. Sundae swap staking will launch at mainnet - plenty of time before that one goes live. Adax is offering a private sale at 25c - likely an easy 5-10x from that one. Cardax ISO announcement coming soon as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
