GG to another web3 game @tripleogames

- Raised 12,000 Avax
- Put 1,500 Avax into LP on 6M FDV (0.43% LP to fdv)
- Everyone in presale invested at 6M FDV
- Investors invested at 12M FDV

What went wrong?

Wait I was #7 on the $Vader leaderboard since yesterday but I only got staking points...

I'm so confused 😂😂

how does this work?

Here's some legendary pulls from my past:

- I had to edit a clip of belle delphine for a creator cause he didn't have editing software at the time, it was...

- An agency in Brazil I passed on bought Lambos after 2 months cause they were laundering money via creator contracts from Chinese streaming companies.

- A creator took a gambling deal but couldn't play cause they lived in the US so had to get someone in Canada to play and record for him. That dude won like 10k in Eth on crash and took some of it out (it was supposed to be play money)

- I did the first Champion collab in esports with SoaR cause I randomly met the dude at Twitchcon or maybe PAX. This was before FaZe started doing theirs.

Going to start ramping things up for Grand Arena

Here are some truths:
- No one in crypto wants to play games unless there is upside
- People want to speculate and have an edge

it's time to put the sack on the table, flywheel szn

4 @virtuals_io -> 109 virtual = 27x

When am I allowed to actually sell? or do i just hold on forever?

I finally started getting airdrops again, looks like jail is around 6-8 weeks.

Will Kaito bring in users for @LumiterraGame?

This will be a great experiment, what y'all got?

It's hard to trade when the market doesn't want to pick a direction

So I'll just sit on my spot bags and pick up more if there is another dip

Here's what my purchases on $HYPE looks like in the recent couple weeks

I'm a terrible trader, i'm way better at shit posting

Well, it was good run on $vader yall

looks like I'm gone and dusted🤧

I invested 5-10k into a bunch of stocks 6-7 years ago. I also max out 401k/RRSP every year.

NVDA was the only one that pushed my port on my aggressive account out of the other tech stocks that didn't show much growth.

Lessons in that somewhere for crypto?

KOL marketing is dead?

Wrong, you just didn't know what you were paying for

KOLs have audiences cause:
- They engagement farm (useless)
- They have good alpha (audience has money)
- They have based takes (good network)
- They are climb leaderboards (strong community)

You pay Jesus/YP/Cagy to help you promote a node sale? good conversion cause audience wants to make money

You pay any web3 KOL to shill a web2 game? bad conversion cause no one in web3 wants to play a web2 game

This space is filled with bad marketers, they are the ones spending money on bad creator-product fit

The KOLs are just taking advantage of that 😉☕️

I spent all 120k points I got from $vader in this presale.

I actually don't do research on @virtuals_io, I just put in points on whatever is over subscribed.

Seems to me it's pretty easy? or am I left curving this too much 😂😂

Remember when Axie paid for mang0 to do a sponsored stream...

And then he didn't show up on time

AND played some baseball game and thought it was Axie?

Just show up and you'll prob get lucky eventually😂

If you can't make money as a creator in web3, you're doing something wrong.

I'm going to say some spicy opinions about creators, strap in😤🔥

Background:
- I've spent 6 figures/mo on creator acquisition and long term partnerships
- I've directly managed creators featured on MrBeast rewind + YT Rewind
- I've operated and ran agencies of different scales.

Context:
- Web3 has the lowest barrier to making $ as a creator.
- Being a creator means making money as a creator

In web2:
- Gaming has $1-$5 CPM.
- Gaming has the lowest ROI doing creator marketing to users as users are terrible at spending (highly skeptical + hate ads)
- You will NOT make a living until you get 250+ CCV or 25k+ views a video (you'd also need to spam content)
- web2 creators are POOR because all the marketing $ is sent to the top performers.

In web3:
- You have multiple channels to just try shit out and make $ (kaito, virtuals, etc.)
- You have heavily funded companies that have no content and always need KOLs
- kols = creators = influencer, you're an idiot who has never worked a real creator job if you try to differentiate

The barrier:
- You have no idea how to build a business
- You are lazy
- You make content people don't care about

The Outlook:
- AI does not care about being cringe
- Once crypto gets adoption, you will be replaced by web2 creators that have 5-10 years of content experience (majority of them already know about crypto, just don't make crypto content)
- It will be harder and harder to stand out with more bots and the new gen of chatgpt kids who want to be KOLs

The solution:
- Feel free to subscribe to me (you get no value)
- Feel free to dm me for help, I have helped out some of your most favorite and hated creators in web3 gaming
- Buy 5-10 Mokis so that you don't feel bad taking advantage of my time
- Stop being scared of what other ppl think

Just had my biggest point days on @virtuals_io for $Vader

My assumptions:
- Engagement is weighted more now
- Follower amount matters (don't see anyone under 10k)
- Quality of content is still tbd (haven't seen any heavy diff between good/amazing)

Seeing a lot of infighting from this on @Ronin_Network so let me clarify some things

- EVERYTHING you see is incentivized, but Elisa has supported Ronin from the beginning (You post about your bags to pump them or to give ppl alpha)
- Jihoz has given support to a lot of community members out of his own pocket. Trung has given 1M ron to help tokens.
- Seems positive that the founders + company want to support the network?

If you don't like Elisa getting paid, it also means you don't think you should be paid. If you get better, brands will pay you too! Sorry to tell you, but gaming is the worst industry for payments and CPM.

Let's get to the real brass tax, market is shit. Token price down. Builders only come to Ronin to extract player liquidity or $ liquidity, and institutional support is all time low because AI>gaming.

If you are a creator and need help monetizing, always happy to help you. Just reach out, but moki holders will always get prio 😂

(I am not paid by Ronin)

Oh wow I am finally on a leaderboard!!!

Went from unranked on $Vader to 17

Now i'm back to unranked 🤣🤣

Have you been in crypto long enough to survive:

- Covid
- Luna
- FTX
- SVB & USDC Depeg
- SEC Lawsuits
- Countless hacks by Lazarus
- Inflation & Debt
(Not counting the wars and conflicts around the world)

Cause it feels very unserious (maybe desensitized) on CT?

There has been more institutional adoption than ever for crypto, but yet the timeline feels at a loss.

Why is that?

10x'd my $vader yaps due to algo change thanks @VaderResearch
