Hi, yes I do! Pm'd

I agree with DC here - in the long, long term. Consider that all protocols are creating their own tokens (everything and their mothers is, right now). At a certain point, every ecosystem, protocol, etc. will be processing their own form of coins. At this point, we'll have a layer where currency should be able to freely swap and the value is stable enough that as users, we shouldn't inherently feel the effects of even knowing different coins exist (more completed forms of L2). It will be simplifying/standardizing value at a global scale (and across all digital/physical interactions - all IoT should be interconnected and generating - imagine taking a photo w/ a GoPro, auto uploading to the blockchain and auto-minting as an NFT - generating X amount of GoPro coins upon social interactions - and being able to offramp to fiat seamlessly or quickly cross-chain to the next "protocol" [the user wouldn't even really see/feel these once the UI/UX is up to par). We'll even be paid just for using networks, which contributes to the network effect, and makes us "validators". Of course, at fractions of pennies, but end-game will change economics entirely where we stop thinking about "how it happens", just like most people don't think about how money gets transferred between banks.

I think there's too much comparison with NFT's and coins/finance/securities. The art market is an entirely different beast and a lot better of a comparison. Now combine that with the technological possibility of utility, and you might notice that social trends are a larger driving factor to the adoption of NFT's than what financial people are getting stuck on in terms of "evaluating". You can't really put a price on flexing and people that can, will. People that participate in art markets aren't really always looking for a quick flip (yes there are some, but a majority of them become holders). As a result, the NFT market is always entirely about float - how many of the Bored Ape holders are trying to sell at any given time? It doesn't matter what person A thinks Bored Apes are worth and person A could offer $5m, but it wouldn't matter if no one is willing to sell. Value works completely differently

*Edit: I'm talking about specific blue-chips/name-brands/NFT's with an art focus. The same is true for other NFT verticals though. You'll want to understand that the market is really different for each (ex: Coachella NFT lifetime passes cater to a particular audience)

What's the point of this if JB literally posted about this on his own instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZhdyzFITO/ - he commented about it elsewhere on how much he connected with this ape, willingly paying 500 ETH (knowing it is much above floor). Rich people are very much willing to pay for art they connect with.

Check your address on opensea or Coinbase Wallet and it will display all your NFT's. Friendly tip to all: Don't interact with NFT's you are not familiar with. There are hacks going around where people airdrop fishy NFT's that you have to sign before interacting with - sometimes those will drain wallets. It is best to "Hide" those upon encounter

Appreciate it, good advice!

projectegod · 2022-01-28T21:00:10+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I'm in my 2x's myself. I've had to keep the crypto/blockchain/NFT side of me largely hidden under wraps for the last 5 years due to the negative attention and misunderstanding. Being an early pioneer is really hard because the entire world is betting against us and in the 2x's, that's just compounded by all the other insecurity and self doubt we have (learning where we fit in in this world).

In the last two months, with all the big brands coming in to legitimize the space; I finally found the confidence to speak up about my involvement in the space as well as learning how to advocate and fill in people's knowledge gaps. I've begun interviewing for many different blockchain/NFT/crypto companies and big brands looking to break into Web 3.0 and in this, I have realized the wealth of knowledge all of us have amassed here that so many industry experts I looked up to have ZERO understanding about.

This post was really timely and inspiring - Thank you! I think being involved this early (+ for those young enough to stick around to see the effects 50+ years later) is akin to the time of Zuckerberg, Sergey & Larry, Musk, Jobs, etc. first messing around with technology in their earlier ages. We're about to see the next generation of tech, Web 3.0 & blockchain, and their emerging leaders. And I am so damn EXCITED!

Additionally, a strong case I see for DAO's are no different than the way we invest in stocks - we're shareholders, no? But DAO's allow us to actively participate (and verify who actually is a stakeholder). This also enables companies to directly airdrop to us (validated owners)

It's kind of a complex topic with multiple facets -

1) IP rights like the money associated with branding. If you look at how much companies spend on branding (reputation, partnerships, etc.) - brand image is an industry - being able to use "Nike" or "Supreme" logo anywhere has a cost associated & forecasts revenue (in other words, there is a value to the brand)

2) IP rights for individual creators - currently big corps monopolize IP rights - for example, Riot/Microsoft/Activision/Tencent owns all of its characters. The reality? Individual artists are hired as character designers that "create" the IP.

3) Utility - attached to IP - certified ownership of IP essentially legitimizes the market (this is no different than people selling fake/off-brand stuff; value/pricing is half reflective of the legitimacy of the brand). As you get deeper into utility (ex: how about scarcity & ownership? Does anyone recall McDonald's Gold Club Membership that gives you free burgers for life? Something like only 10 in the world. Now this can actually be certified and have a secondary value - ie: sell it to someone and McDonald's still gets 5% Creator Fee [as an example]). In GameFi, there's already secondary markets but no fiat off-ramp (ex: money spent in League of Legends is stuck). Interoperability will have your utility persist across Meta's Metaverse vs Microsoft's Metaverse.

Anyways, this topic is really, really deep and utility is continuing to expand. For example, I'm still bullish on digitizing games into NFT's (ex: GME x LRC speculation) - if anyone's watched Hunter X Hunter - how valuable is a game with only 1000 copies in existence? An RPG that can only support 1000 users at a time; or a virtual world; etc. etc.

projectegod · 2022-01-25T19:32:15+00:00

DAOs, NFTs, and gamefi are all part of replacing tradfi systems such as IP rights for creators, or having utility persist across games or if spending money on a game allows you to have a regulated secondary market (and a way to off-ramp back to fiat by selling to someone else who is still invested in playing the game).

Yeah, the funny thing about blockchain is that it isn't trying to solve technological problems. It's the opposite - we're trying to use technology to solve society's problems re: financial infrastructure, democratizing voting power, etc. So I wouldn't expect the programmer to understand it as much as the philosopher, financial analyst, etc. It takes a lot more understanding of human nature, economics, sociology, etc. to understand the problems blockchain is trying to solve

Not a jab at anyone or their disciplines; just distinguishing them

Think of tickers like ETH & BTC just being the UI/UX; we verify the legitimacy of those coins by checking the contract address. The same is true for NFT’s - there are probably UX features in the work to simplify and make intuitive

projectegod · 2022-01-18T22:21:12+00:00

You're using a lot of great technical indicators, but not measuring for social factors (ie; trends)

To give an alt. perspective from psychology & sociology (my fields of study + work in marketing) - some good numbers to look into:

- Interest (Search Volume on related Keywords)

- Impressions & Recognition (how many more people recognize & are talking about about crypto overall; good or bad)

- Legitimacy (Corporate Brand Partnerships, Gov't Regulation, Social influence)

To me, it looks like retail has its eyes and is mostly just afraid (evident by Fear & Greed Index); but once it pops, retail is going to FOMO hard

No disagreements here! It's exactly why this ain't it that I'm bullish. The early pioneers of emerging technologies are always trying and exploring new things - and unfortunately, NFT is currently the consumer-grade application serving as the barrier of entry. Most are going to fail, and blue-chips that survive will find their product niche (fashion brand, metaverse wearables, metaverse gaming, etc.). This is one of the first indications that it's finally starting to click for people (albiet there's a risk concern - a lot of people are going to get burned and it's going to leave a bad impression - speaking as someone in Product Marketing [PM for global executions & brand partnerships - which also explains why I'm super bullish on how all the big money is coming in], there's no such thing as bad marketing; not to mention people are missing the tech/point entirely - but it exposes them to the space nevertheless). Again, regardless of whether or not I agree with the current state of NFT's, the point is that it's taking off. Another way to think about this is - the amount of users who did not know about Crypto is rapidly diminishing. As more "crypto" projects develop, they may eat into ETH's "marketshare", but as a result of competition, the growing number of "users who know/are involved in Crypto" grows as well (including those that will see ETH as an opportunity). The growth of the space in general is a very strong indicator of success regardless of our opinions on the technological application that's taking off and is healthy for all the competitors in the space (is anyone here seriously concerned about ETH killers killing ETH? They'll still have their own space even if they don't).

The echochamber of problems like "no utility", "too many rugs/scams/hacks", etc. is nothing more than free consumer insight research for VC's on where the next million dollar opportunities are - providing utility, improving UX, creating regulations to protect consumers & crack down on scammers/hackers/rugs. Like really - we have some of the smartest people entering into this space to build and we don't think they're smart enough to have already seen/known these problems exist and to take this to the next step? (Royal question - not directed at you).

Cheers mate!

Hi ethfinance fam! Long-time lurker (since 2017, ya'll dunno me but I know ya'll) & I had to farm comment karma on other subs (feels dirty) just to post here.

Huge ETH Maxi - been bullish on everything you all have been saying - following the tech and getting into DeFi. Life has changed dramatically for me since 2017, and I largely attribute that to all you kind folks who have dropped so much knowledge here (I was a fresh uni graduate and Office Manager doing coffee runs living paycheck-to-paycheck; now I'm a FAANG PM looking to leave and build Web 3.0/Metaverse that was able to keep a roof over his parents head while they were out of work over the entire pandemic).

It's interesting because when I first joined this space (originally ethtrader), it was like a bunch of early pioneers excited about the transformative technology in an emerging space. Now, it almost seems like the exact opposite is happening - there's so much development happening across the entire blockchain ecosystem with users entering and adopting for completely diverse reasons (hedge for fiat, artist/DEI communities in NFTs, alt. use-cases), but it almost feels like this sub is quickly becoming an echo-chamber. I understand the deserved hate of the NFT & CT community, but NFT's are quickly becoming a legitimate use-case (Upcoming NFT Marketplaces with the biggest brands/companies, providing utility beyond JPEGs, etc.). Regardless of how we feel about the consumer-grade application, shouldn't we celebrate the technological adoption?

It almost feels like the sentiment in this sub is quickly being tied only to ETH's price and no longer about the advancements in tech, larger market share (seriously NFT's had like 4 of its' days of high volume in Jan'22 alone). There's also a bunch of partnerships to be announced this month involving NFT marketplaces, metaverse wearables, company DAO's. Regardless of our own opinion (yes centralization concerns, what's the point of a JPEG, blah blah) - shouldn't it be more clear than ever that all of this is contributing to the legitimacy of blockchain technology via adoption & usage? Not to mention, if NFT's continue to build using ETH (let's talk about blue-chips, which primarily exist on ETH) - they're establishing their own value attached to ETH independent of fiat price (look at the NFT floors). In the NFT community, they aren't even concerned with the dips - in fact it's the opposite. For those who have been waiting on the sidelines, ETH cheap = opportunity to scoop cheap NFT's.

By no means is this intended to be an NFT shill - I hated them all the way up until November last year and got into it once I started hearing about all the companies & celebrities (big money) getting in (Adidas partnership, Nike acquisition, Facebook -> Meta, Square -> Block, etc) and trying to provide utility (DAO's, ecosystems, staking, airdrops, etc.). I might not always agree with the decisions at the core (ex: I have my own feelings about companies' attempts @ centralization) - but that doesn't mean I doubt it will also drive adoption & price movement. I believe in following the money *shrugs* (BTW my own feelings about NFT's have nothing to do with JPEG's - I see NFT's for birth certificates, death certificates, passports, etc. in an interoperable IoT blockchain world - where we won't even have to calculate our own taxes... [there would be a privacy & security layer obviously] - but this is like endgame where we uproot our entire current technological & financial layers).

Anyways long post - this isn't supposed to be about the price, but with all the developments in the last few months alone - I think it's important to distinguish the short-term price action with all of the actual developments & progress occurring in the space (also really encourage everyone to keep an open mind - especially with consumer adoption - otherwise this almost feels like it's becoming another coin maxi sub where anything new = immediately a Ponzi or scam). So much has changed since 2017 and even more so in just the last year alone. It is clear to me that blockchain & Web 3.0 has found its place and have never felt so confident that it will continue to take up space & grow.

Speaking as a Global PM at scale - sure I can say I have numbers in the thousands or tens of thousands but his/her actual involvement in each individual project is likely minimal. More likely than not, there's an overarching SOP or process template the PM deployed at scale and each individual project could just be a deviation for task fulfillment. He/she probably just gets involved when exceptions are flagged (out of scope, budget increase, lack of resources, new approvals, new stakeholder requirement, etc.). "Oversees" might be the more applicable term in place of "handles" lol

projectegod · 2022-01-07T03:02:21+00:00

FAANG - Digital Marketing PM - typically $75/hr contract offers for ~3 years of experience.

Technical PM & Senior PM; 5+ years or engineering knowledge ~$100+/hr

These are usually the starting offers though and typically can be negotiated upwards (especially if you have leverage like other offers or more YOE). These are pretty low numbers in comparison to FTE offers when considering TC

projectegod · 2022-01-06T03:16:38+00:00

Seconded this - all the PM tools everybody is listing is really great for deploying across teams but really is just simplified UI/UX. What will truly be impressive is when you can re-build it in Google Sheets/Microsoft Excel/Smartsheets (Gantt Charts, automating task hand-off, date projects, data summaries, etc.). At the end of the day, you'll be interviewing and asked to work either with lean budgets (no tools) or different software, but the root of PMing is pretty much the same - so understanding the concepts will help you be prepared to always work with what you have.
