The most popular NFT strategy explained

  • Today I want to discuss one of the most common (yet simple) strategies for finding NFTs with long term value. We've seen it used for cryptopunks, NBA Top Shot, Blankos Block Party, VeVe etc.
    You see NFTs are new but collecting is not, and as a result one of the most dominant strategies within the NFT space comes from more old school collecting (stamps, comics, baseball cards etc). I don't know if there's an official term for it, it comes in many variations but it follows a general pattern: investors put a lot of weight on collectibles that came "first" or that were at least an earlier version of something. With books it's called First Editions, with comics and cards it's called serial numbers and issue numbers, and it takes many other forms within the NFT space which I discuss in this video.
    We can see the premium on "firstness" applied at many levels for NFTs.
    There's the blockchain level, where there's a current debate going on in terms of which was THE FIRST NFT (some say cryptopunks, others say Curio Cards, and there are several others that make the same claim). But basically any NFT that can make a claim at being the first to do something in crypto gets an instant price boost.
    Then you have the platform level which is riskier because platforms have a lower chance of surviving longterm compared to blockchains, but a great example of this is the Chromie Squiggle collection which was the first minted on the Art Blocks platform and which has been getting a lot of love from investors as a result.
    And finally you have the collection level, so things such as low serial numbers or low mints within a collection. What we know is that the more utility an NFT collection has, the less emphasis is placed on something like "firstness". So it makes more sense for art than it does for a cash flow producing NFT within a game, because with the latter you get a more objective way to price things.
    However, when it comes to avatar collections it's still unclear how much weight investors place on low mint counts. Until now most of the attention has gone towards rare traits, mainly because of how avatar NFTs are showcased (I explain in the video), but this could change in the future and if it does it could mean that certain low mint NFTs are undervalued today.
    All in all, this is a simplistic (and arguably silly) strategy that has been a go to for investors in alternative assets that have little to no intrinsic value (art, collectibles, etc). You can choose to not follow it at all, but it's good for newbies to understand it because it tends to have a big impact on prices.

      Hey this was recent discovered. It a contract from 2015 that minted 4000 Nfts that have messages. Its called Terra Nullius V2. Where would this fall under first nfts. Eventually more valuable that curio cards or cryptopunks? I thought I would see this on the spreadsheet. Would love to see you make a video on this topic.

    Hi, loved the video. I had a couple of questions. So you're thinking about buying an nft off the floor. It has a large twitter and discord following and the volume is high in comparison to the floor price. Will this NFT definitely go up in the short term and the long term? Is there still chance in this? How can we narrow the level of risk down as far as we can?

    • @giancarlobuystokens
      @giancarlobuystokens  Před 2 lety +1

      no it won't definitely go up in the short term, still very risky and you have to consider more factors. watch my video "How I KEEP picking NFTs that 10x (full strategy revealed)" for more info on that.

      depends on the game. if it's a cosmetic item then serial number/chronological order will still come into play like with skins in blankos block party. if the NFT has a lot of utility, like say an Axie in Axie Infinity that does well in battles, then it's less relevant.

    What's the difference in value between dropping NFT projects that the buyer can choose what to buy versus bundling the NFTs into packs?

    • @giancarlobuystokens
      @giancarlobuystokens  Před 2 lety

      do you mean in packs where you don't know how rare the NFT is that you're going to get? from the buyers perspective you get the extra value of gambling for a super rare NFT, because the mint price is fixed regardless of what you get, whereas on the secondary market like open sea you no longer have that potential, you see what you get.
      this might mean there's more initial demand for the random pack drops because it's basically a slot machine.

    it is the "perceived value" that you are referring to ... what the market will pay for a certain property based on emotional or nostalgic appeal. but all of this comes down to: something is ONLY worth what the market is willing to pay for it, at any given time. So all these absurd resale "floor value"'s that idiots set at 1000 ADA or something on a MOB nft means nothing, if 48 out of the 100 produced are sitting on the marketplace platform, untouched, till the prices align with the market's "perceived value" of the offerings.
