Blockchain Technology has allowed for the greatest alignment of incentives between brand and consumer that this World has ever seen..."Aligned Incentives"Intro to the NFT StaircaseI started The Coffee Experiment because I believe that people that take advantage of Web3 benefits early will change how business is done forever. As Steve Kaczynski and Scott Duke Kominers wrote in their new book, The Everything Token, "NFTs and Web3 will transform the way we buy, sell, and create." More and more people are coming to this realization, myself included. My key takeaway from The Everything Token is The NFT Staircase Model, or the five principles of NFT strategy that will build the future Nikes, Red Bulls, and Apples of the World. In The Coffee Experiment I will be using all five of these principles (Ownership, Utility, Identity, Community, and Evolution) to launch a coffee product and amplify shared brand values through the Web3 network effect. The idea is that through these five steps of the staircase, will allow me to build something greater with the community (you) than I could build by myself, or as renowned internet artist Jack Butcher says... Jack Butcher @jackbutcher the combination of your efforts and the amplification of your shared values (that you were only able to discover via your appreciation for a specific aesthetic) allow you to build things (actual or metaphysical) that are greater than something you could build by yourself 92 1:30 PM • Feb 1, 2024 Progress UpdateLabels for the y00ts Coffee Bar have begun printing and should be sent to our packaging facility by the end of February!Product Mockups are being finalized over the coming days, this will allow me to really ramp up my marketing push.Marketing Strategy being developed.
