Weāre moving into a time where itās becoming painfully clear how important closed, paid communities are and will continue to be.
All it takes is one look at the replies on an X posts to see how many responses are actually from real people and how many are not.
This shift has been happening for years, but now itās more obvious than ever.
Give it a year or two, and itāll be crystal clear, if youāre not a core member of a real, tight-knit community full of ambitious people, youāre simply not going to make it.
And no, Iām not talking about free-to-join communities where people show up just to extract pennies.
Iām talking about two types of communities:
One, where you pay to get access to information. These will be more broad, focused on alpha, updates, and insights.
Two, where you pay to join, but youāre also expected to bring value yourself. These will be much more exclusive, built around real contribution and trust.
Last year, I used to be so hesitant about what I posted.
I wanted each of my posts to be "good" and get lots of engagement and views.
Even if I desperately wished to post something, I would stop if the timing was not "optimal".
I used to be scared about posting what I made($), if I made a good trade, tickers, PnLs, NFT flips, etc etc.
I wanted to curate a "perfect" timeline that a sponsor would see and want to work with me. Now, I agree, for content creators that's an ideal way to present themselves, but I found myself losing my personality.
Took me some time to come to terms with it, but no one cares. Everyone is too worried about themselves to care if your last post hit more or less than 100 likes.
Everyone out here is trying to make it. Just be yourself, post what you like, people who fw you will fw you. Simple as that.
Like I always say, as long as you move with good intentions, nothing else matters.
Hence, youāll see a lot of different side of me in the coming months.
Interesting stats 24 hours post and pre-staking 13 different AI Agents on @virtuals_io to earn Virgen points.
Pre staking
- my $VADER holding didn't appear (i assume it was supposed to show only if I staked) - no hodler bonus even when I hodl many virtual tokens - got some diamond hand bonus, for not selling any agents since launch of this
Post staking
- i staked $VADER + 12 other agents including $AIYP and others - diamond hand bonus seems to have increased - waiting on Daily Points Distribution and see how it shows (expecting a big drop)
Concern:
- connected my X on day 1 but have not seen any @KaitoAI yap points. - what even is trenching? - points expire very soon, can't really stack a lot for later use, you need to get a lot in a short period of time
Overall good experience, let's keep cooking and yapping.
As everyoneās busy picking niches and projects to focus on over at @KaitoAI, thereās one flying under the radar that deserves a closer look.
@Novastro_xyz: still early and definitely underfarmed. @Novasintern is currently leading the board in yapper mindshare, but @waleswoosh has been the top gainer over the past 30 days.
Short intro: Novastro is a Layer 3 blockchain for the EVM and Aptos ecosystems. It leverages AI to bring real-world assets (like real estate or company shares) on-chain using automated systems called hybrid SPVs.
If youāre into RWA and AI, this oneās worth digging into.
