Carrot Lane

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...

Thanks to everyone who jumped on the livestream today! Every now and then, I like to hop on, answer a few questions, and just riff on whatever comes to mind. Today’s session was a fun one — went down a few unexpected rabbit holes. I’ll continue to do these weekly at random times to catch different people — I won’t always email them out, so stay tuned. If you’ve got a question or just want to chat,...

In case you missed it, here’s yesterday’s livestream featuring me! I love doing these AMAs — they’re a quick pulse check, and it’s refreshing to see so many of you getting into the NFT ecosystem. I know some of you might find it tricky setting up the wallet and going through the rigmarole of connecting to OpenSea and adding Ethereum — but honestly, it’s like riding a bike. Once you’ve done it and...

Curio Cards is a project I talk about often. In my view, it’s the best risk-adjusted option in the NFT space, and I’d recommend that anyone who hasn’t explored NFTs yet buy one as a learning experience. Holding a historical asset will spark interesting conversations, and you’ll have the serendipity of a significant percentage gain. Thank you Edwardy , Beth M , Chris , and many others for tuning in...

Big thanks to everyone who joined the NFT live chat today (Monday—same time every week, 10am EST). I’ll be mixing things up now and then with a few guests, but I really appreciate those of you showing up consistently. Right now feels like the time to finally pull the trigger on NFTs. Search volume has doubled. New mints are up. Trading activity is climbing. The space is bubbling again. If you can...

Better known as Zen, a former pro poker player turned Crypto investor and NFT expert, shares his take on the current market. This one’s worth a listen. Hoping to make it a regular thing.
