Discord Digest #1
Gary Vee’s restaurant / We’re buying a golf club / What’s $MAGIC?
Gm degens,
Welcome to the very first edition of this newsletter. The web3/crypto space is booming and I want to contribute. I thought I could provide value by sharing with others a curated list of resources and content. There is so many happening in this space on a daily basis that it can be hard to filter all this noise. Unless you have countless of hours to spend on Twitter and Discord. I’m far from being an expert on these topics. But I’m learning a lot on a daily basis and I want to share some of these learnings with the community.
Moving forward, I will try to publish this newsletter on a weekly basis.
Drop me a message on Twitter or hit REPLY if you want to start a conversation.
Without further ado, here is our crypto digest:
A introduction of $MAGIC and the Treasure Ecosystem
A great introduction to the entire Treasure ecosystem and $MAGIC, the token that powers it. Definitely one of the cryptos I’m betting on this year ($MAGIC is currently trading around $2.5 at the time I’m writing this).
If you want to learn more about $MAGIC and see how you can buy it, I can only recommend Start with $MAGIC, a website built this week by Bram Kanstein.
The Essential Guide to Discord
Discord can be intimidating at first (it took me a while to adopt it). But it’s a crucial piece of pretty much every projects in the crypto space. This guide built on Notion will help you better understand how to use Discord and provide good tips to enhance your experience with the tool.
Discord still, a list of some helpful shortcuts you should start using there. Because your time is too precious.
Flyfish Club - The First NFT Restaurant
Gary Vee launched the first NFT restaurant in New-York. You will need to have the NFT to be able to book a table. The public sales started on the 7th of January and it took off quickly despite an entry price of 2.5 ETH! (ouch). For this price, you only get access to the restaurant. Any sushis, beers or caviar you will consume there, you will have to pay for it. One of the interesting mechanics here is that holders will be able to lease their token on a monthly basis and get rewarded for it. Exclusive clubs and memberships seem to be a perfect use case for NFTs. Visit Flyfish Club website
Talking about memberships, LinksDAO raised more than $10M to buy a golf course in 2022. A project led by a team of high profiles in the tech industry and golf enthusiasts. Two passes are available, Leisure and Global. Stephen Curry bought one of each yesterday. Which as you can imagine had a positive impact on the floor. Curious to see how this project will go. Disclaimer: I have a Leisure pass and I see it as a long term hold. LinksDAO on OpenSea
A job board with more than 8k jobs in Web3. I know many people who are already trying to transition from web2 to web3 companies and we are going to see this trend accelerating in the coming years.
This OpenSea competitor is giving away free $looks to people who have traded more than 3 ETH on OpenSea. You also need to list one NFT for sale on the platform. You still have a couple of days to claim your airdrop.
Next time someone tells you crypto currencies are used by terrorists and for illegal activities, show them this graph. Illicit share of all cryptocurrency transactions amounts of 0.15% in 2021.
