NFT NYC | Wednesday June 22
I’ll be taking the stage this week at NFT NYC for a 10-minute solo chat about “Building a Media Brand with NFTs”. It’s at 10:15 AM EST at the Marriott Marquis.
This will be my second time speaking at NFT NYC, and I have to thank them this time sincerely for placing me at a normal timeslot (last year I was at 6pm…).
If you’re around New York this week, please hit us up and come say hello! Or if you’re following from home, we’ve been posting updates on The First Mint twitter.
And so has The Reel Phil D…
What I’m Learning About
I’ve been doing my best to stay level during these tough market times and take on as many different perspectives as possible. Here are two that I really enjoyed:
🎧 Emergency Bear Market Live Stream by Bankless
The boys at Bankless have been at it since the 2018 cycle, and they paint a sober picture of what has been going down last year. If you’re uncertain how to feel, who to trust, or worried about how bad this all might get - this is a must watch.
📚There Are 3 Stages To a Bear Market by Jason Yanowitz
Jano’s thread here really hit home for me. Mainly because I think it is very accurate, and foretells more pain on the way. I watched the last bear market from a distance, and only entered towards its end. I’m more convinced every day that this is going to be a long stretch!
