How will we survive the year to come? LG gives his 10 rules, and Phil D hops on for the real time feedback.

What’s up everybody, it’s LG Doucet here.

A year ago we were full of scintillating optimism.

Markets were up, Ballerz were pumping, and January 2022 became the most-traded month ever for NFTs. Almost $5B was exchanged on OpenSea alone that month.

I wrote Rules for NFTs in 2022 and they were largely optimistic. In some cases, I even told myself to stack up on certain coins.

Looking back, some were good pieces of self advice, such as don’t lose sleep.

But when it comes to #4 “Take risks” and #8 “Stack Crypto”…

But despite my terrible guidance, I felt the need to run it back and approach this year with a far more sober outlook.

And to do that, I had to call up one of the community’s absolute favorite guests:

📜 10x Rules for NFTs in 2023 w/ TheReelPhilD

Listen, Phil is my big brother.

And brothers are supposed to keep you honest. Keep you in check when you’re acting out of line. Bring you down to earth when you’re flying high.

At first, he’s unsure about my list, especially after I read back to him the 2022 edition. But over time he comes to appreciate my hard dose of reality and we cast off for a solid 2023.

My list, as featured on the show:

Rules for 2023

1. Don’t fade what’s hot

2. Your goal: survive

3. Go To an IRL Event

4. Seek fresh perspectives

5. Celebrate small wins

6. Ignore 99% of tokens

7. Play the Brand Game

8. Be Vocal

9. Take Long Breaks

10. Challenge your own assumptions

Now what does each one actually mean?

Well, you’ll just have to listen to the pod 😉

The Dapper Labs 2022 Report Card 📚

I miss report cards. As a solopreneur, no one evaluates me. No one grades me. No one gives me constructive feedback to help me reach my goals at this company. Rather, I rely on engagement and data to gauge my performance. And looking at the numbers for the second half of 2022… it doesn’t look great…

My Long Term Holds 💎

At this point in crypto winter, you know what’s up. NFTs are down bad. Many have fallen 80-90% from their all time high. And through every round of scandals and downtrend, NFT prices have been hammered more and more. Not a single NFT collection has the luxury of being a more “stable” and “long term” asset like ETH and BTC. None have that history. There’s …

7x Sports Platforms That Need PFPs 👺

Profile Pictures (PFPs) have come to define the NFT space. Which is still quite surreal to me. I spent almost an entire year in NFTs, thinking that the future was all about sports collectibles, generative art, and digital land. Then Bored Apes came along, and the space…
