Carrot Lane

Tonight’s call with Bren was unreal— 1,043 people tuned in. Wild. We went deep on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, SUI, and NFTs. Bren’s take is always so grounded with sharp insight, zero hype, and just a genuinely good bloke. Keep an eye out for his guest post on SUI later this week, dropping alongside my written piece. And if you’ve been enjoying the content, consider upgrading your Carrot Lane membe...

Folks, Our livestream launch was a major success, with over 300 people joining. Carrot Lane is now streaming on Substack, X, and LinkedIn simultaneously, and I expect those numbers to keep growing. This is a lane (pun intended) I’m doubling down on as live streaming takes off—and I’ll keep feeding value back to paid members. If you support Carrot Lane with a subscription, you’ll win the most: priv...

This has to go down as one of my favourite conversations. What blows me away about Tyler is how completely he lives and breathes the fabric of his brand, and his collector base does too. We dive deep into Tyler’s background, the launch of GVC, Vibestr, and where he thinks the market is heading. It’s genuinely a great chat. If you want to see more like this, drop your email below so you never miss...

Folks, last night’s call was hands down the best feedback I’ve had from a live yet. Seriously, thank you for showing up and supporting like you always do. Drew dropped some killer insights on PNKSTR, NFT investing, and crypto in general. There were some big takeaways from that session. I’ll say it again, the more viewers we get, the bigger the guests I can bring on. So if you’ve got friends or fam...

One of the most significant disadvantages of Web3, especially during the 2021/22 mania, was the ability to connect directly with founders and understand their real vision. I had a great chat with Chimpers Co-Founder, Jacob. We talked through their journey, how Chimpers started, where it’s headed, and what’s next for Chimpstr. We also dug into how he and his twin brother navigated the most brutal b...

A lot of you have messaged asking for the recording of Friday night’s livestream, and trust me, it was an all-timer. Zeneca and I went into portfolio allocation, managing risk this cycle, handling FOMO, and which NFT projects might actually matter right now. We also got into the current meta, taking over the timeline, PNKSTR and the latest launches from TokenWorks. Haven’t upgraded to a Paid or Fo...

Today’s livestream will catch you up on just about everything happening in crypto—and highlight some of the best risk-adjusted plays on our radar right now. Burge breaks down his trading strategy, and we dive into crypto, NFTs, and Punk Strategy. If you want in on the private group, where we close the learning curve and move fast on opportunities as they pop up, make sure you upgrade. It’s 100% wo...

Folks, Apologies for bombarding your inbox, but the number of messages I had from people saying how much they enjoyed the livestream featuring community members Alexander and Burge was probably the best feedback yet. So instead of leaving the recording sitting in my drafts, I thought I’d send it over so you can pop your earphones in and listen at your leisure. We covered everything from Gobstr and...

Tonight’s live stream was pure gold. We covered it all—Punk strategy, the new token shaking things up, NFTs, and where crypto’s heading next. If you’re not a Founding Member yet… seriously, what are you waiting for? Upgrade now and get into the daily chat where the real conversations (and opportunities) happen. Thank you Shawn , Victoria Verdandi , Charlie Saw , Mark E , SINGULIZATION , and many o...

Occasionally, I’ll jump on an impromptu live stream when my DMs start blowing up with questions. This time, it was all about PNKSTR and how people are trading around the asset. I shared my thoughts, answered a bunch of questions, and kept it short and fun. If my content brings you value, consider upgrading your membership — it’s what allows me to keep showing up and doing this. Thank you Shawn , S...

Last night’s live stream was a classic. To support Carrot Lane, the best way is to upgrade to a monthly, annual, or Founding membership. You’ll also unlock my best work. In the stream, we broke down the mechanics of PNKSTR and asked the big question: Is it still early enough to get in? We also examined some of the other strategies launched and shared our predictions for where prices are headed nex...

Last night’s live was one for the ages. For a long time, I’ve wanted this newsletter to be a go-to resource that helps demystify the space and give folks the head start they wouldn’t ordinarily have had. I shared this project with my Founding group very early and have decided to share my thoughts on it with all. Since the live stream, the token I shared is already up 40%—and I don’t see it slowing...

Thank you to those who joined my live stream. I’ll return to my usual schedule at 5 pm EST every Monday. This live stream featured a friend of mine, Ross, whom I’ve known on X for about four years now, and a Panda Earth whale. Panda Earth is regarded as one of the very first Chinese NFTs in existence. It’s based on their national animal. I personally own 16 of these because I appreciate the art an...

I’m in Cape Town right now, sweating through 30-degree heat and, full disclosure, I’d had a few beers before hitting Go Live . So yeah, forgive the slurred words. My sunstroked thesis on these assets hasn’t changed, and if this reminder hits home, upgrading to Annual or Founding is the smartest move you can make. That’s where I share my best work, and those who back me there are going to be miles...

Friday evening, I conducted an impromptu live stream based on some of the comments and messages I received in my inbox. I touched on some of the trading opportunities that have presented themselves in NFTs. Since NFTs have the same conditions set as physical assets, there will be arbitrage opportunities. How you play it is up to you. I hope you enjoy. Thank you Victoria Verdandi , Curtis G , Macke...

Thank you to everyone who joined today’s live stream. What I love about this space is the variety of experiences people bring — and how the common thread running through it all is the communities they gain access to, far beyond floor talk and “price go up.” Simon has been a subscriber for some time now, and I’ve been really impressed with his breadth of experience in the space and the projects he’...

WhiteRabbit was meant to join this live stream, but he’s switched it to a private Zoom on Wednesday at 6 pm EST. I’ll send the invite out to those of you who’ve been supporting my live streams. Last night’s call turned into an AMA where we dug into wallet security and how to actually find value in NFT projects. What became clear is this: the overriding factor is attention . The projects that grab...

Last night’s live stream was incredible. Bren, whom I’ve gotten to know through NFTs, has a fascinating thesis on NFTs, meme coins, and crypto in general. If you don’t want to miss these in the future, make sure to carve out time at 5 PM EST every Monday : this will be the regular slot going forward (no more Sundays). It would mean the world if you joined live — the more viewers we have, the bigge...

My best skill as a writer is reverse engineering the comments section. And the most significant issue I see is the dose of cynicism when I speak about NFTs. People think they’re a little faddy and don’t know why we’d own them. But the truth is, they will be the most significant thing, because the data, as I show in the video, doesn’t lie. More and more people are going up the crypto wealth curve,...

Sometimes it takes a rally cry to snap people out of autopilot and get them locked into what I genuinely believe is the most significant opportunity of our lifetime. NFTs have fixed supplies, and the ones that matter, the ones that drive real demand, are going to reach insane levels. That’s because both the price of Ether and the trading volume of top NFTs are climbing. I’ve got the sauce. We’re a...

Every Sunday at 3 p.m. EST, I crack open a drink and talk to a guest about Cryptocurrency and NFTs. Today was incredibly fun with a good friend and Curio Cards community lead Konstanin. He’s very much hot on the pulse of historical NFTs. One worth watching for sure. Thank you Shawn , Victoria Verdandi , Opher Ganel , Nabila , and many others for tuning into my live video with Konstantin ! Join me...

I couldn’t contain my excitement after watching every significant blue-chip NFT collection jump 20 to 30% in a single day, right alongside Ethereum, which is up over 60% in the last month. This is shaping up to be one of the biggest opportunities we’ve seen, and I want to bring as many of you along for the ride as possible. I know some of you have struggled with the actual application of the NFT p...

Sheeeesh! I got a ton of energy from this call. There’s something about NFTs that brings out the kid in you. Harry and I first met in 2021 after minting Veefriends. Since then, he’s gone on to do work for the company on the physical collectables side—this chat was a really interesting one. I really liked his take on the NFT ecosystem and where he thinks all of this is headed. If you never want to...

On Sunday evening I had a great chat with my mate Fred—an early-stage minter in Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, VeeFriends, and a bunch of other projects. His knowledge of the space is ridiculous. He comes at NFTs from an angle most people don’t even consider. If you’re enjoying Carrot Lane and want to support the writing, consider upgrading your membership. Plenty more interesting stuff coming...

A slight change-up from my usual Crypto and NFT content schedule. I’ve received so many messages from folks asking where the fitness posts went—plus a huge response to a blog that went viral a few weeks back. Not long after my mom passed, my drinking spiraled out of control, and I was eating takeout three, sometimes four times a week. Pandemic-induced anxiety got me outside and walking, and what s...
