🎙️Best of The First Mint 2022

thefirstmint.substack.com

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

The big day is over and the end of the year has arrived

To celebrate the year that was on The First Mint, I’ve put together a recap episode full of memorable clips and big brain guests.

We had a lot of incredible people come on the show this year so believe me when I say it was not easy to curate this down to just 45 minutes.

I’ve broken the episode into three different sections:

The Cycle of Adoption

  • Jess Sloss | Founder of Seed Club

  • Marcus Bianshe | Founder of Rumble Kong League

  • Jayne Peressini | Former GM of Top Shot (I think?)

  • Dave Fedlman | General Manager of NFL ALL DAY

The Possibilities of Web3

  • Andrew Steinwold | Host of ZimaRed + Angel Investor

  • Mack Flavelle | CEO of Big Head Club + Cofounder of Dapper Labs

  • Jasmine Maietta | Founder of Round21

Prepping For Success

  • Scott Melker | Founder of TheWolfofAllStreets

  • Tascha | PhD in Macro Economics

  • Space Cowboy | Twitter Personality

And a huge thank you to all guests that joined us this year on TFM!

Now it wouldn’t be a proper year-end pod if we didn’t look at the data.

Keep scrolling to find out:

  • Top 10 Podcasts of 2022

  • Top 10 Twitter Spaces of 2022

  • Top 10 Tweets of 2022

And as usual, thank for being with us, and enjoy the final week of the year!


TOP 10 PODCASTS

It should come as no surprise that all our top episode happened in the first four months of the year.

After all, the bear hit our wallets about mid-May 2020, and who wants to listen to a podcast about NFTs when they’re down about 50%?

But still. we had some bangers all year long, and here are the ones that stood above the rest when it comes to downloads on iTunes and Spotify.

  1. Pod #141 - 10 Rules for NFTs in 2022 | January 3

  2. Pod #156 - Will Sports NFTs Survive? | April 18

  3. Pod #144 - The Future of Crypto Influencers | Space Cowboy | January 24

  4. Pod #142 - Let The Hungry Man Eat | January 10

  5. Pod #143 - The Blog That Blew Up NFTs | Jonathan Bales | January 17

  6. Pod #148 - The Cameo Pass | Oliver Maroney | February 16

  7. Pod #147 - The Most Dramatic Week Ever in NFTs | February 7

  8. Pod #153 - The Future of web3 Access | NFTU | March 21

  9. Pod #149 - There Are Too Many NFTs To Collect | February 23

  10. Pod #150 - We Are All Explorers | Jasmine Maietta | February 28

And for the curious, the chart below shows where people listened.

we get it - you all love iTunes


TOP 10 TWITTER SPACES

Crazy stats here - UFC Strike absolutely dominated our Twitter Spaces.

I think its because the actual UFC handle joined for most of them, and we also welcomed incredible guests like Jon Anik to the show.

Here were our most attended Spaces of 2022:

  1. DROP: UFC ROUND ONE | March 22

  2. DROP: UFC Strike w/ Jon Anik | February 15

  3. DROP: UFC STRIKE | January 23

  4. DROP: "The 209" UFC Strike | April 21

  5. DROP: UFC STRIKE Dojo Packs | June 1

  6. DROP: UFC 274 Elite + Base Packs | May 3

TOP TWEETS

This year The First Mint twitter account generated over 29M impressions!

That’s massive, especially considering that we saw a major crash in the crypto market and that many collectors have left the space.

And for the curious, we generated over 140M impressions in 2021. But not really a fair to compare 2021 to 2022.

Let’s take a look at the best tweets of the year (not including contest tweets):
