In the final week of 2021, we recap the investing scene and prepare for 2022. Which brings us to Web 3, a future concept being built in the present that is not going away. It is evolving. It is coming. We think it’s strategically important and smart to begin focusing and sharing it in greater detail regularly.
We were provided with a holiday surprise with the OpenDao airdrop of the SOS token to eligible users who interacted with the Opensea platform. The amount of SOS token airdropped for users to claim ranged from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars with the key to being eligible; participation. Without focusing on the (details: click to learn more) of the SOS drop, focus on the key to the entire concept….participation. Understanding and determining what Web 3 will be is about actively participating. Using the applications, building the software, transacting with the technologies as starting points to what comes next. What Web 3 will end up looking like to you is highly dependent on if, how, and when you decide to participate. The earlier you learn and get involved, the more you stand to gain and understand.
Investrly plans to be at the forefront of the participation movement as a community-driven publication focused on the intersection of financial education and opportunity. We say hello to 2022 with the goal of showcasing value using vision in the space and making complex investing opportunities easier to understand. Pair our newsletters, live audio podcasts, video tutorials, and created content together to help you achieve success in the new year.
Term of the Week - Metaverse
Meet Purrfessor Cool! A cat determined to make education cool again. Our recent innovation to showcase NFTs and utility.
NFT of the Week - Little Lemons NFT
🟣 Everything to know about OpenDAO’s SOS token airdrop for OpenSea users
Key Takeaway: "On Christmas Eve, anyone who had ever spent money on OpenSea could claim a free Ethereum token called SOS, and the amount of SOS they’d get was determined by how much money they had spent on NFTs on OpenSea."
Key Takeaway: “Each NFT is a digital replica of the sneakers he wore when he broke the NBA record for all-time three-pointers. The digital kicks, called Genesis Curry Flows, sold out instantly, priced at $333 in another nod to the NBA's three-point line.”
🟣 Nifty Gateway creator says if metaverse is the next big thing, NFTs are the ground floor
Key Takeaway: "If the metaverse becomes as big as Meta seems to think it will, then NFTs will play a foundational role in that," he said.
A Year in Review (Part llI)
Over the past few weeks, we’ve highlighted top memories from our 2021 publications. Today, we wrap up our look with a couple of Web 3 showcased
In late August, the entire NFT space took a significant leap higher as Visa entered the space and the Cool Cats project we originally shared and invested early in at .02 ETH rocketed higher to over 6 ETH, taking our paper return to over 310x.
Lastly in November, we attended our final conference of the year in person and wrote Volume 45 about the experience. The title of the publication said it all: NFT.NYC Exceeds Expectations!
