We are just getting started 👀
"The Beacon has bots"
"The Beacon supply is too high and too expensive"
But
@The_Beacon_GG
has been the best gaming NFT launch of 2024.
CT can be an echo chamber, but if you filter the noise, you can get amazing takeaways.
🧵 3 content tricks I would learn from their strategy:
$PIRATE is the undisputed best token launch of the first half of 2024.
Not a single Web3 gaming token is up after TGE, while PIRATE is up +200%

🧵 5 steps that made it successful:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
No, you don't need Coinbase or $30M funds to do this 👇🏻
Exchanges are like a mafia and act like a monopoly.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But they also have 97% of the volume for gaming tokens.

In 7 days,
@XBorgHQ
will be the first to launch exclusively on DEXs.

🧵 Here are my key takeaways from their Twitter Space:
Lesson learned in SG: main conference tickets are useless.
Great connections with the best builders are made at side events.
Just meeting lots of

Now locked in for a game-changing Q4 🔐
Why do many Web3 Games struggle with content?
Creating content in Web3 is actually simple and
• Yes, your community will grow naturally
• No, your Web2 community manager who only spends 30 min/day on X is not ideal
ㅤㅤㅤ
👇🏻 3 steps to apply the “Golden Rule” of Web3 content:
Magic Eden announced the "optional royalties feature” and faced a huge backlash.
This is the right time for all Web3 Games with NFT collections on Polygon to migrate to Ethereum.
@BlastRoyale
is the first game to announce the migration and saw a +170% increase in the last 14
This is me, 8 months ago, sweeping 7 Fableborne NFTs on YouTube for $40 each.
Today Fableborne NFTs sell for $800 each.
But this post is not about my 20x.
It’s about how the 20x can do another 20x.
🧵👇🏻 3 reasons why
@Fableborne
is one of the best candidates for mass adoption:
Zynga's exit from Web3 Gaming has drawn mixed reactions:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
• Some are bullish about a leaner team with fewer legal burdens
• Some are bearish because Zynga's backing was the only value prop

From FNATIC to
@BuildOnBeam
@NicoThePico
is THE guy bringing Esports into Web3 Gaming.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
"Almost ALL teams either have a Web3 department or are actively looking for partners in the space."

Here's why Esports and Web3 Gaming are a perfect fit 👇🏻
This game has one of the best P2A campaigns I've seen in the Web3 space 🍄

Their content marketing is super effective.

I asked him tough questions that could help founders looking to launch their token in the next 6 months.

🦈 Baby Shark Doo Doo Doo is launching a Web3 Game!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
• The WORLD'S MOST VIEWED video with 15 BILLION views
• Backed by Binance Labs
• $34M funding
...and no one from Web3 Gaming knows them.
Why? They fail to understand Web3
🧵 Here is what I would do instead:
Sony announces its blockchain:

They mentioned Web3 games, content creators, and NFT marketplaces.

Here’s why this is massive for the Web3 gaming space:
From 3k followers to 150k+ without spending $1?

🚨 NEW SCAM ALERT
This was one of the most convincing attempts after the fake Calendly link.

They use hacked legitimate profiles to schedule a call and try to log into your accounts.

Are nodes effective in Web3 Gaming?

✅

had low demand and raised less than $3M

But despite being listed on Coinbase, it's only trading at $7 million mcap.

With a wall of text so thick that even ChatGPT won't summarise it.

Q: Is he really back, or will he go back into the dark?

👇🏻 This is why you should NOT go stealth for months as a founder:
@0xStranger_nft
@johnwastaken
@playmythical
He's not one of the the most talked about founders, but he's definitely among the top in the space
Building in silence, but looks like he's about to make waves
@StarPlatinumSOL
Becker is like the embodiment of Crypto Twitter in my opinion
Wild predictions (that make sense), Cardano memes and super degen lingo
I also think he's got a 9-figure net worth 👀
@StarPlatinumSOL
It was this game that made me discover Web3 Gaming, and it's the one that first caught the world's attention in this space
It will always be part of the history of Web3 Gaming 🙌
@stespecchio
That's a healthy way to look at it
Just focus on the skills that will pay you regardless of the price of bitcoin, and keep a long-term view
@imluidji
Moderator and CM is like the first step in web3, many people start from there in this space
It teaches valuable lessons about communication and how to deal with people of all types
Definitely good skills if you want to build something 🙌
@SinjinDavidJung
Totally agree, you can't make something completely new and revolutionary on the first try
Also because it takes countless iterations of many different games to find 1 thing that works, then another, then another and so on
It's a slow and constant evolution of the industry
@SerrDavee
I think you need to give value first, and learn if you're just starting out
At first you need to work for free to gain experience and improve
Later you can aim for real paid jobs
Being stubborn and proud when you're starting out will actually lead to much slower growth
@SpikeCollects
That's great advice for founders, there are many marketing agencies that take these shortcuts
Using them in a bear market is just leeching the project's funds with no results
@0xLest
I agree, at the moment almost everyone in the space wants to make money
There are a few creators (and users) who are starting to be more interested in just playing games, but they are extremely rare
@AChuhunou
If you just chase impressions, no one will care about you, if the algorithm stops showing your posts to people, no one will notice and you will be forgotten
If you build for the long term and give value, people will care about you and your foundation will be rock solid ⛰️
@Napoleecrypt
@creators_nexus
@lokithebird
Congrats for the achievement, consistency is key and providing value is essential!
Doing both will inevitably give you the spot as a core creator 🙌🏼
@SamSteffanina
I agree, however Pudgy Penguins is proving that there is a certain PMF, and as you know, the narrative in Web3 drives as much as the product, so...
@DompteurM
Totally agree, at least either the idea or the execution has to be great to make a successful post
Of course both is better, looking forward to the practical ways 🤝🏼
@Icon_The_Great
In this day and age, there's enough free content out there to get good at whatever you want for free
There are very few exceptions where you have to pay to learn
@Eyden_eth
Finally someone who said it
Web2 is one of the best places to work in, it's easy to find jobs, they pay well and it's comfortable from home
The more you work, the more you grow, your choice 💪
@Eyden_eth
I totally agree, lists are so useful in general
Both for replies and also for finding alpha or insightful content, if you set up a valid list you'll save so much time
@0xSanixxx
Yeah, everyone as a beginner in web3 falls for FOMO when reading a post in their feed
Once you spend some time in the space you find other ways to get real alpha in the 3 points you mentioned
@AChuhunou
Being a reply guy seems easy, and it is if you comment gm, lfg, and other filler stuff
But writing valuable comments, tailored to different tones of voice, is a whole other story
It's hard to do, but the results are amazing 👊
