Hawt Drops | NFT Podcast

Jun 11th, 2022 RoundtableWell.. this week has been an incredibly bearish week.. not much movement in the NFT space and ETH is down bad with most ALT coins and even papa bitcoin has been dipping pretty hard.Ethereum price is now below $1550 and Bitcoin was around $28,568 the last time I looked.. We have had the lowest OpenSea volume in over 7 months and even if it feels like we are pedaling backwards just remember that if history repeats itself we could see an even bigger pump and more adoption in the space than we could have ever imagined. I remember when Bitcoin dipped to $8K and people were saying it’s over the bubble popped you should pack up and leave but what happened next people could have never imagined. Momentum is key and right now the economy along with some of the greedy market leeching drops that have soaked up all liquidity and created fear in the market but this is just a part of the consolidation and accumulation process.Hang in there and try not to panic sale unless you truly believe it’s best, also something not talked about often is guesstimating the overall floor price that a collection can reach and if you think another collection or bluechip could go 3x or more above the potential ROI from the NFT you are holding during a bear you might consider trading up even if it’s for a loss BUT only if you factor the amount you’d lose from the rebound of that collection when it all stabilizes. Always think objectively, I sold a few things that had dipped to get my Moonbird because I knew the potential of those NFTs in comparison to what I believed Moonbirds could be after many hours of research.Ok so, I have this Odd Frens NFT to give away and I’m going to say the link out loud for the google form and you just enter your discord username and wallet address and I will pick a random winner at the end of the roundtable today.tinyurl.com/oddfrensOk so moving on I wanted to talk about two drops I think could do well even in this market but there are not many, just two we have all been talking about for awhile, that’s Memeland and Possessed, if you’re trying for any of these drops those should be top of mind.During a crazy bear market when it’s at the lowest of lows I try to avoid selling if possible and work to accumulate bluechip NFTs and top cryptocurrencies or at least ones that were set to breakout before the crash.Right now I’m really only buying three cryptocurrencies:- Bitcoin- Ethereum- GalaThere are a few others but those are the ones I am stacking, continuing to buy into the downward pressure.As far as NFT collections I’m watching that I think will bounce back, I’m looking at... ...Listen to podcast to hear which NFTs I'm watching... this is all the text I could put into the show notes...Thanks for listening!

July 4th, 2022Ok lets get started!This last week has been very, very interesting. Lots of sporadic movement and goblin derivatives have taken over. And in classic turd fashion the “Ill poop it” NFT is floating to the top of the bear toilet with around $2.5 million dollars in volume. At one point half the 24hr volume on OpenSea was from random extreme degen projects.With projects like GoblinTown sitting at 4.25 ETH and the “We Are All Going To Die” NFT at 1.5 ETH  we can clearly see that the meta has shifted and we are in the wierdest bear cycle but what we can be thankful for is the amount of entertainment we have right now.Recently a few notable projects with some hype behind them have launched:Boki revealed and went parabolic all the way from 0.2 to over 1 ETHQuirklings minted from Quirkies and is sitting around 0.3 the last time I lookedAkumu Dragonz which spawned from a Solana project that wanted to bridge to ETH with this new 10k collection that is sitting around 0.5 but only around 100 ETH of volume of the past four days but less than 130 listed with low supply of 1000.Collective Strangers launched and you could have got one for around 0.22 on opensea and now they are sitting at around 0.5 the last time I looked and lots Streetlab Genesis minted and although it’s not performing well it does have some artblocks vibes as pointed out by Shaolin from our community. - Essentially artblock for street art - they collabed with famous artists like Rektguy) - 50% of revenue shared with holders  - Future drops reserved for holdersSo yeah those are a couple of the more recent hyped projects that minted recently.Also a few us recently purchased Free Hand NFT from the secondary market aka OpenSeaFree Hand has a low supply of 2882 and they actually look really cool, not to mention all hand drawn elements. I also like the message of "there are no rules in making art" .. we have seen this clearly from the Goblins meta.Pretty solid volume so far considering it was an under the radar drop, it’s been hovering around 0.2 all day and I’m seeing a lot of similarities in price action that we saw with Boki which should have been an early indicator for me, that being said don’t count out any collection in this current meta, except derivatives of trends, these usually never end well. Anyways yeah lots of movement and all the right signals for me with Free hand including notable buyers getting in. We will see how it goes but as always do your own research.Oh yeah and this last week, I think Monday, I opened my NanoPass weekly BlackBox (which I have been holding since mint) to finally win something and not just anything I got a Beanz NFT which at the time was around 1.6 and now sitting at around 1.2 so hopefully they send sooner than later but either way I’m extremely pumped, it has paid for me holding my nanopass + we get the phase 2 mint so hell yeah!I also snagged another Moonbirds Oddities so pretty pumped on that as well, that pumped a bit to like 3.2 but sitting around 3 now.My Doodles Dooplicator free airdrop is now sitting around 3.3 and this is likely due to people who have the Dooplicators are also able to attend Doodles NFT NYCMoonbirds event sounds so dope too, David Blaine the magician will be showing up to walk around and do street magic for the attendees at the private Moonbirds NFT NYC event.Azuki is still hanging in there at a 10.9 ETH floor with full steam ahead and even though I’m not a fan of how the creator was a serial rugger with little to nop remorse until confronted, I can appreciate the dedication to Azuki lately even in the face of controversy.Cool Cats floor is ridiculously low and I hate to say it but when the cool pets news came out I immediately said this 20k collection and token could ruin this project and it kinda did in a way but either wa

This week has been especially bearish besides the run we saw with Boki, RektGuy, Goblins and a few others which was all pretty random since they don’t seem like amazing projects although I think flippers are trying to make any moves they can to create fomo then dump.I think this is why my twitter feed is full of people stating they are taking an NFT break, this is honestly not a bad idea, I’m kind of doing the same but just making less degen moves and accumulating bluechips and crypto I think will do well when we bounce back.The problem is because ETH is down along with most of the market, we are not seeing major releases right now because bigger projects are worried to launch in this climate.Also why we are seeing so many derivatives popping up on trending on Icy Tools because there isn’t enough notable volume to dwarf these projects like we normally see during a bull market.Just because it’s a bear doesn’t mean we can’t look for opportunities, right now there is so much we can do to accumulate so when the bull market kicks in we are in a good position.ETH is under $1,800 and not financial advice but I would consider buying at this low point, it could go even lower and hell it could go to zero like anything else so do your own research.Also there are a ton of solid ALT coins that I believe are at a great entry point as well.One of the major reasons ETH is down other than the economic downturn we are currently in is the recent tests for the ETH 2.0 merge actually had some issue I believe so people started to FUD which is pretty much what any of us could have expected if it wasn’t all sunshine.Alright so lets talk NFTs...This week I’ve been watching Moonbird Oddities with Wizard and Remz, we are very close to our discussed entry point, I was hoping for around 2.5 and at least one sold for that but they are sitting around 2.75 at the moment.It’s exciting because I see Oddities as the Mutant Apes, here’s what Justin Mezzell, Moonbirds co-creator said about this new collection:“There’s a lot we haven’t said about oddities yet, but one of the things I’m excited about is having another entry point into the proof ecosystem. It will be unique, with its own plans for the future, but I love that it opens the door for others. It’ll be a great door.”Volcom, the skate brand is releasing an NFT which looks interesting.https://stoneland.volcom.com/ Limewire is doing their first NFT airdrop and it’s an exclusive from SouljaBoyNFL Rivals discord opened and the First 20K get OG role (thanks silver)

Lots of Discord hacks this past week: Notable ones I can think of are Moonbirds, CloneX, Kaiju Kingz, Possessed, Memeland and so many more were affected.I was personally told by the MEE6 team when I first reached out that they thought it wasn’t on their end but an external user affected but in reality it was a MEE6 employee who was compromised and the attacker had full reign on Discord servers using the MEE6 Moderation Bot.Another crazy thing that happened was the founder of that Solana Reptile project started to get some attention and then the founder came out as a serial rugger calling himself The batman because he believed that he needed to commit crimes to do good and started trying to expose other projects and solana influencers. This was super unfortunate but you could help but laugh at this guy for his delusions of being Batman … at first I thought he was talking about another person in the space who’s twitter name was batman or something but no he just thought he was the Dark Knight.A few days back some of us discovered the Moonbirds Oddities account and the founders of Moonbirds were following it, at the time not many people were following this account and we weren’t sure what it was so there was speculation but later in the week Kevin Rose confirmed it was in fact a Moonbirds project and there would be 10,000 pellets … this part is still not clear but what we do know is owls hunt at night, they eat things whole and the bones are regurgitated into these pellets .. so we are likely getting things like skeleton mice and especially since Justin, moonbirds co-founder already loves creating skeleton artwork… it was airdropped this morning and the floor is around 3.98 the last time I looked  Speaking of Justin from Moonbirds…A few us from Hawt Drops picked up Grim Syndicate, it’s a 10k solana project created by Justin Mezzel and since solana projects were heating up we figured this could be a good bet if they take off since it was a reasonable price .. we picked up around 9 sol and at one point I saw a 20 SOL floor, it has retraced a bit but I still think there is lots of room to grow when you have a blue chip founder at the reins.Shaolin (@shaolinden_) talked to us about a project that looks really cool called Collider Craftworks and we discuss games and integrations of 3D NFT Models.Reach out to @0xDrecks for a chance to get a VIP pass to Hawt Drops
