🎙️The Market Surges + Interview with Tropofarmer

thefirstmint.substack.com

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

It’s a two parter today.

First, a quick 5-minute run down of market conditions, as both the NFT space and broader crypto market have been surging this past week.

Second, an interview with a self proclaimed asshole-turned-nice guy, Tropofarmer.

Little know fact about him. Last year I minted many NFTs from Genies, a metaverse avatar fashion brand. And one of them was of “Bored Tropo”, a derivative collection of Tropofarmer’s ape PFP.

And then when the opportunity came along to change my Dapper Wallet PFP, I chose this one, and have been using it for months.

And it was only recently that I realized that we had never spoken.

So it was time for that to change.


The Market Surges + Interview with Tropofarmer

This honestly felt a lot more like hanging out with a buddy.

And I must admit, I really appreciate how vulnerable Tropo was during this conversation. You never know how these influencer types are going to come off when you chat with them, and the convo was almost too comfortable.

Highlights from this one:

  • Why he chose the name Tropofarmer

  • Why metaverse gaming will take a very long time

  • How he managed emotions after the high of NFTs

  • His NBA Top Shot story (shocker: its similar to everyone else’s)

  • His Saturday night sexy time

We’ve had some banger pods (and newsletters!) the last few weeks, including last week when I went back to my speculative roots.

🎙️10 Rules for NFTs in 2023 | TheReelPhilD
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…

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…
