Now, most credit goes to the giant Meta (formerly Facebook). When they announced about the “future of Internet” Metaverse, the digital market bloomed to the roof. Of course, NFT was no exception. NFT skyrocketed to the moon. Metaverse gave new meaning to NFT. Before the announcement, NFTs were something you could only flex on social media, but after, it became something that you can use on virtual worlds too.

By seeing this potential, companies like Nike immediately partnered with the digital shoe designer and NFT maker company RTFKT. Well, the trend has started, and no one in the right mind wants to leave behind on this department. Such other brands like Adidas, Zara, Gucci, etc., joined the hype.

Many well-known bigshots have joined the burning bandwagon. Speaking of Gucci, earlier this year, Gucci and superplastic announced the collaboration to release new sets of NFTs.

Gucci, the luxury Italian fashion house, is the latest to enter Web 3 with the launch of ten non-fungible tokens (NFT) on February 1st. In collaboration with the cult toy trademark Superplastic, the NFTs were co-designed by Gucci’s head of design, Alessandro Michele. Each NFT will come with a ceramic sculpture co-designed by Gucci and handcrafted in Italy. This will be Gucci’s first NFT drop.

Superplastic is a collectibles company that has issued NFTs through the Winklevoss brothers’ Nifty Gateway. Kidrobot founder Paul Budnitz founded Superplastic in 2018 and has sold millions of dollars in designer toys and apparel based on the characters Janky & Guggimon, Dayzee & Staxx, Kranky, and ShüDog.

The Superplastic partnership appears to be a turning point. Auctioning NFTs has already brought in millions of dollars for high-end designer houses. In September, Dolce & Gabbana debuted its NFT collection, Collezione Genesi, and the collection sold for $5.65 million. With more fashion labels launching NFTs, many people are wondering whether this is a watershed moment for the industry or just a case of trend hopping.

According to Morgan Stanley, the whole NFT industry is predicted to reach $300 billion by 2030, with brands like Gucci and Balenciaga in the best position to profit from metaverse digital collaborations. Activation in prominent open metaverses like The Sandbox and Decentraland is not part of the Gucci project yet.

Enter the dark side

So when Superplastic and Gucci announced this news, everone went nuts including some bad actors. In case of the gucci release. I followed it about a week before launch and during the date of drop on 1st of february I sat behind my screen and followed the development. I was eating and shitting discord all day long. So the drop was initially phased in 3 timeslots 1 hour delay between them as shown below.

Owners of Super Plastic NFT had early access for the first 150NFT batch and the way it was suppose to work. You need to have a certain NFT of them in your wallet during applying for mint. To obtain such NFT the floor price of super plastic started at around 0.3eth at writing and could go up to 7eth depending what you fancied. The gucci discord group got second dibs with an user password to enter at 11AM ET and finally public mint at 12AM ET.

The moment the clock hit 10AM ET I went inside, I saw from the 150, 148 was sold out already. I thought oh well it’s an hot item and we got a lot of people wanting it, I’m going to roll the dice with my early access. We had 1000 people in the Super Plastic Discord channel and my guess was…. 400 people would want it and have the 1.5 eth minting price. oh yes… you read that correctly…. 1.5eth.

So after hitting “sold out” wall I went back to discord to see who got it and I opened OpenSea.io and I am seeing the discord is exploding and OpenSea listings of the newly minted Super Gucci NFT for around 7/8 ETH. Even though expensive and almost 5x more than the mint prices, it was still undervalued in my opinion because you would get a hand made Gucci porcelein vase. This didn’t make sense to me so I went back to discord to find the biggest shitshow I have ever seen from an exclusive brand. Now mind you I have been to other drops and brands and collabs so I am not new to hickups during launch but this was starting to look like a massive shitshow and here is why.

Bot mint started early

The first problem started with the fact the contract was created 1 day before the launch which already leaves enough time and footprint to be spotted and not to mention the creator was testing and doing stuff for days before releasing and well…. the longer you are on the etherscan messing around , the quicker you will be spotted for a potential bot action. And yes if your contract creator account is months active before the mint date, you are just asking for it at this moment then.

Minting started 5min earlier, so the actual early access was more for the bots than the Super Plastic NFT holders. Imagine you have to compete with an bot who has a 5min headstart.Wallets without Super Plastic NFT where able to mint during early access

Now this mistake is one of the biggest and most stupidest mistake ever you could make. So during writing the minting contract you can write into that the minting of the first 150 SuperGucci NFT’s can only be done if the owner of the wallet owns a certain NFT before going through with the mint or approving it.

What Superplastic did instead was to put a frontend walllet check with metamask to check if you have that NFT before sending you through to the minting page. Well shitttt sherlock what the hell is it good for to have exclusive early access if there is no security in place to prevent it and especially if there is already an standard way to embed this, why not embed it into the blockchain and opt for a wordpress level security instead dear lord it goes downhill from here now on so grab your popcorn, we are in here for a ride.

This was one of the first 10 mints and it was done with a wallet with no Super Plastic NFT inside of it, done with a botDumping on the OpenSea

So what do you do as a bot with just freshly minted Super Gucci NFT’s ? you drop them on Opensea before getting catched on and that went pretty smooth. so lets follow the money trail from there and see what’s up.

12 Sales of the Super Gucci NFT by single user within first 30min of minting them for 1.5ET. Purchase total 18ETH and the bot sold it for 92.4 ETH. A cool 74.4 ETH profit for the bot

When looking at the user who sold all these NFT’s we end up on his twitter account with some interesting information, fill in the blanks yourself

So while everyone was panicking and scrambling to find out what is happening, a few were looking at the contracts and timing and knew already what is going on. So when round 2 came which was for the Gucci Discord members who would receive a login code to enter at 11AM ET. However at exactly 11:02 I received the code as announcement in the server while between 11:00 and 11:02 the chat was exploding with where is the code and the server also crashed which it shouldnt with so little activity. Anwyays, at 11:02 everyone got a code and logged in, oopsie… sold out again. This time the bot needed only 1 minute headstart as you can see clearly in the contract the minting started 1 min before.

Again what the hell is the use of a password on the front end when the contact is wide open to mint? let alone some people used brute force to guess the login password and with no captcha in place any scriptkiddie could have downloade a bruteforce programme and let is lose for the most popular words and some did get lucky and got in at the same time the bot got in and snatched one.

Angry mob starting to take over the Super Plastic and Gucci Vault server

So after round 2 everyone now understood what was happening. And with everyone I mean everyone else because a few and all superplastic and gucci team already knew what happened during the first mint but it was already too late, things were set in motion and cannot be changed again. And that is why kids, when you start a NFT project you don’t hire from linkedin ;). Anyways so people started to become really angry on both servers and rightly so!.People with the superplastic NFT started being angry in their server because basically a lot of people bought a superplastic NFT for almost 1eth to get early access to only discover the first dozen of NFT’s were minted by addresses with no Super Plastic NFT inside of it. So people started to sell their Super Plastic NFT because they felt cheated and lied to. So the floorprice of superplastic dipped a bit. Now mind you Super Plastic and Gucci both as brand and merch are great companies but to think to jump on the blockchain with not enough knowledge about certain aspect of the blockchain including the darker side is just plain ignorant and even dangerous for the brand name itself. I rather coca cola sell only coke than open a restaurant with cockroaches, I would end up leaving AND also never buy coke again. So this is something for the folks at superplastic and gucci to sort out because people are pissed.

Community clearly displaying their dissatisfaction towards how things are being handled after second round bots stealing the mint from the rest again

So the final round was postponed by 1 hour to 1PM ET and people waited patiently untill the mob started to scream raffle raffle raffle and I think this was the point where the both teams decided to call it quits and just raffle the remaining Super Gucci NFT’s. By this time the North Korean bot team already cashed out and it was already been traded on OpenSea. So as moment of publishing this article we are waiting for the raffle conditions to start and to be announced.

Clearly the team is scrambling to fix this, but at what cost and how much of it was preventable by proper planning?

Hızlıca yazıma giriş yapıp sizlere geçenlerde bulduğum ve uygulamaya koyduğumda iyi sonuçlar verebilen bir metotu göstermek istiyorum: E.A.S.Y. Dean Malone 2007 yılında bir slayt sunumuyla paylaşıyor bu metodu ve kullanımı çok basit. Bilmemiz ve kullanmamız gereken birkaç adım var.

Dean Malone’ye göre trade edebilmek için 3 önemli market koşulu var: fiyat hareketi, memontumu ve strengthi. “Bunlar ne demek oluyor?” diye sorarsanız şimdi adım adım metotu açıklarken öğreneceğiz.

Bu metotu uygulayabilmek için 3 farklı yoldan geçiyoruz. Trading view sayfasına gidebilirsiniz şimdi. Uygulamalı olarak yapmak her zaman daha akılda kalıcı olur. Trading view sayfasını açtığınızda göstergelere tıklayıp ilk olarak TDIALT yazıp onu seçiyoruz. Bu kenarda kalsın en son açıklayacağım. Seçtiğimizde mumlar farklı renklerde gözüküyor. Bunu Sekil 3’deki gibi ayarlardan bar colours’a tıklayıp tekrardan yeşil ve kırmızıya çevirebilirsiniz.

Şimdi diğer bir işimiz Mum grafiklerden Heiken Ashi’yi seçmek olucak.Bunu kullanma sebebi aslında gürültüyü azaltma, mevcut pazarın daha iyi bir tasvirini sağlama diyebiliriz. Bu metota göre Average Price Bars taktiğini kullanarak yani Heiken Ashi uygulayarak daha doğru bir izlenim elde edebileceğimizi belirtiyor. Metota göre yükselen ve düşen trendleri daha kolay yakalayabiliyoruz.

Bu metota göre pozitif barlar alım, negatif barların ise satım sinyali olduğunu söylüyor. Pozitif barların fitili ne kadar uzunsa güçlü al sinyali, kırmızı mumların fitili ne kadar uzunsa güçlü sat sinyali olduğu söyleniyor.Fitillerin kısalması sat trend yön değiştirecek anlamına geliyor. Bu birinci maddemiz olan Average Price Bars aslında baktığımızda gayet kolay şu an.

İkincisi ise Price Actional Channel. Yani diyor ki fiyat kanalının iki biçimi vardır.1.’si fiyatın üstünde ve altında bir çift trend çizgisi doğrusal regresyon kanalı gibi. 2.’si ise Keltner Kanalı gibi belirlenmiş sapma limitleri ile fiyat çerçevesinde olan bantların olduğunu söylemiş. Biraz karıştı hadi bunu biraz daha basitleştirelim.

Arama kısmına PAC yazdığımızda kolayca bulabiliriz. Bu fiyat hareket kanalının üst bandı 5 periotluk mum ortalaması, bu kanalın alt bandı ise bu mumların düşük seviyelerin ortalaması olduğunu söylemiş ve bu bize yumuşatılmış bir şekilde sunulmuştur. Biraz gözü korkmuş olanlar için aslında bunda da hiçbir şey olmadığını belirtmek isterim. Grafikte daha net anlayacağız.

Metotta diyor ki Average Price Bars (yani yeşil ve kırmızı mumlardan bahsediyor) Price Action Kanalı’nın üst bandına gelirse yani yeşil kanalın üstüne çıkarsa long pozisyon açabilirsin diyor. Yani longu koruyacağımız yer burası. (Bu arada rengi kendiniz ayarlayabiliyorsunuz ben yeşil yaptım)

Barlar kanalın içerisindeyse long açmanı tavsiye etmiyor. Fakat diyor ki alt kanalın altına inersen de bu noktadan itibaren short açabilirsin diyor. Kanalın içerisinde ise no trade.

Şekil 4.3 ve 4.4’de görüldüğü gibi metot bize alım ve satım noktalarının nerede güçlü olacağından bahsetmiş. Bu maddeyi de çözdüğümüze gere son kısma geliyoruz: Traders Dynamic Index marketteki trend yönüne, volume ve momentuma göre oluşturulmuş ve bu üç özellik bir indikatörde birleşmiş diyebiliriz kısaca. İlk adımda açtığımız TDIALT indikatörüne bakmaya başlıyoruz şimdi. İlk olarak yeşil ve kırmızı çizgiyi baz alalım.

Buradaki yeşil çizgi RSI’dır.(göreceli güç indeksi). Bununla ilgili şu kuralı vermiş. Diyor ki eğer RSI çzigisi 50’nin üzerine çıkarsa long açabilirsin. 50’nin altındaysa short. RSI çizgisi 68’nin üzerine çıkar ya da 32’nin altına inerse bu noktadan itibaren çıkabilirsiniz ya da herhangi bir pozisyona girmeyebilirsiniz.

Trade signal red lineda ise şuna bakıyoruz (şekil 5.1) eğer yeşil çizgi kırmızı çizgiyi yukarı yönde keserse bu al sinyalidir. Aşağı yönlü keserse bu sat sinyalidir. Kural basit.

VB Channel high ve low’u da etkinleştirdiğimizde ki girdiğimizde indikatöre zaten etkin oluyor. Bu volatilite bandıdır. Burda da yeşil çizgi tekrardan mavi çizgiyi de keserse net long aç diyor. Özetle yeşilin hepsini kesmesi lazım. Ama bu daha geç bir sinyal sağlar bize. Aslında bu indikatör de ben sadece yeşil ve kırmızı çizgiyi baz alıyorum.

Şekil 5.3’de görüldüğü üzere yeşil çizgiye dikkat edelim. İlk kırmızıyı yukarıdan kesiyor sonra sarıyı en son volatilite çizgisini bu metota göre bu bir alım sinyalidir. Peki aldık da bunu ne zaman satarız diyorsanız TDI’ye göre yeşil çizgimiz 68’i geçerse sat demektir.

Eveet özetle metotumuz bu şekildedir. Bunu kullanın asla demiyorum tabi ki. Geçenlerde araştırırken bulmuştum ve sizlerle paylaşmak istedim. İyi analizler efennnim

Gamestar+ is entering the streaming market as an entirely new category of streaming social games on demand (SGOD). Todd’s pedigree is perfectly suited for Gamestar+. He has over a decade of global marketing and product development experience and has closed deals with over three dozen Fortune 500 companies. He also brings his skill in venture building and financing to the table.

Todd is a certified behavioral design specialist. A skill he says he uses to improve how users interact with content, products, and brands. He has a passion for growing businesses and has closed multiple partnerships with Verizon, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Microsoft, Starbucks, HBO, Disney, and many more. Why board games? While the demand for games continues to grow, there hasn’t been a move to streaming yet. Gamestar+ will disrupt this $16B industry. And more personally, Todd admits his family has diverse tastes and interests, but playing board games is what always brings the family together.

Todd has an extensive background in startups, product development, fundraising, business leadership and marketing. He spent over a decade trailblazing more thoughtful and human-centric approaches to marketing, with expertise in both Gamification (adding game-like elements to campaigns and creative to increase engagement) and Behavior Design (building products and content expressly crafted to facilitate desired behaviors through the psychology of a user’s motivation and ability).

Beginning in 2014, Todd was the Co-Founder and Creative Director of Fiero, a digital agency specializing in both Gamification and Behavior Design. In just two years, Fiero landed accounts like Disney, Verizon, Sony, Virgin, Technicolor and Macy’s. In 2016, he sold Fiero to a national agency and began the next chapter of his career.

As the Director of Venture Strategy for The Refinery, an organization dedicated to supporting and optimizing purely disruptive ventures. Between 2017 and 2019, he worked for Sony Pictures in marketing, branding, and business development. While at Sony, he brought PlayShow to life, an Emmy award-winning interactive TV product that brought Jeopardy! to mobile phones. Additionally, he led corporate partnerships between the studio and major organizations like Apple, Amazon, Google and more.

Todd understands OTT media and builds digital platforms. In addition, his expertise in customer acquisition, content monetization, IP licensing, and UX design creates the right pedigree to lead Gamestar+. With all of this, it’s easy to see why Todd has piqued interest from investors and partners alike.

As COO of Gamestar+, Todd has brought together best-in-class partners from IP licensors, celebrity talent, investors, and created a first-class advisory board.

“I am so passionate about this. I want to see it turn the corner from being an idea that everybody loves into something that is in everybody’s home as a primary component for good times for family and friends everywhere.” — Todd Young, COO

Gamestar+ games consist of an already powerful IP. These are memorable game titles like Family Feud, Jeopardy!, and Scene It?. Add to this the magic of Gamestar’s interactive platform where show hosts like Steve Harvey, bring the Hollywood factor of the game right into the players’ living room. The Gamestar+ experience will truly bring friends and family together.

Gamestar+, the “Netflix for Game Night,” is the next-generation streaming app that combines an innovative Play to Earn blockchain architecture to deliver unique social gaming content through TV, mobile, and connected devices. Industry experts from Sony Pictures, Imagination Entertainment, Disney, and HBO form the executive suite. And advisors from Hasbro, CNN, Jeopardy, and Shark Tank are already on board. In addition, Gamestar+ has secured globally recognized IP rights with titles such as Family Feud, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Scene It? and more.

The crypto market is heavily influenced by investor mood. It may be a signal of where the market is heading depending on where sentiment skews. The Fear & Greed Index now indicates that market sentiment is very negative.

The stock market has plummeted as a result of widespread fear.The Fear & Greed Indicator is a market emotion index that takes into account a variety of elements. Using this, it generates a number on a scale that represents how investors feel about the market. This week has been a bad one for the cryptocurrency market in terms of mood, as it has sunk deep into the fear zone. The Fear & Greed Index has not pointed to Extreme Fear after spending the most of last week in neutral area.

The drop into this range is the consequence of falling pricing. Coming out of the weekend, bitcoin, which had recovered to the $40K-$44K mark the previous week, has began to fall. By the start of the new week, the digital asset had plummeted back below $40,000, bringing the rest of the market with it. Sentiment soon deteriorated, placing the index in the acute dread zone.

March seems to be following in the footsteps of February, which ended the month in Fear. The crypto market now has a Fear & Greed Index score of 21. This is not the lowest the index has been in previous years, but it is still a low level.

Given how volatile cryptocurrencies can be, attempting to timing the market is sometimes a useless undertaking. However, this does not exclude investors from using indications to determine the optimum timing to join the market. The Fear & Greed Index is one of those indicators that investors often use to choose whether or not to join the market.

In the financial world, there is a proverb that goes, “Buy when there is blood on the streets.” This implies that when the market is down, investors should purchase assets. When others are scared and hesitant to enter the market, this might be a sign of a good purchasing opportunity. It is said that now is the period when individuals start packing their belongings, and as a result, the value of assets will begin to rise.

However, this may not always work as expected, since acquiring digital assets when the market is down does not necessarily ensure a market turnaround. The cryptocurrency market is unpredictability with a life of its own, and sometimes when investors assume prices cannot fall any farther, they do. As a result, the ideal moment to purchase is subjective and dependent on each investor’s experience.

В статье будет ряд инструментов, которые могут быть полезны для анализа крипторынка. Я пользуюсь не всем, что здесь перечислено, но в крипте за всем сразу всё равно невозможно следить, так что можно выбрать то, что кажется вам более важным, а про остальное просто знать, что такое есть и периодически открывать при желании.

Начнем с того, что я уже упоминал ранее.

Собственно, куда без него, ссылка на основные соцсети проекта, на доки, и так далее. Большинство api других инфопроектов завязаны на кмк, хоть иногда он и считает капитализацию и циркуляцию по-своему. Можно обратить внимание на глобальные графики https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/, а так же криптоконвертер, если вам лень открывать обычный калькулятор https://coinmarketcap.com/converter/

Отличается от предыдущего тем, что на сайте https://cryptorank.io/ можно найти также таблицу предполагаемого арбитража актива между биржами, например: https://cryptorank.io/price/theta-fuel/arbitrage. Также есть список ICO, к которому раньше была аналитика https://cryptorank.io/ico-analytics

Сайт https://onchainfx.com/ здесь не так много монет, как на кмк, но почти тысяча имеется и информации по ним ощутимо больше, прикладываю скрин:

то есть видим здесь ROI, местоположение относительно экстремумов, ссылки на чьи-то статьи о проекте, на какие-то новости, коммиты на гитхабе, маркет кап в будущем при той же цене, если посчитать анлоки и еще некоторая информация. Если есть желание серьезно изучать проекты перед тем как принять решение в них инвестировать, то однозначно стоит добавить сайт в закладки.

Указываю сайт, который и так все знают, наверно: https://icodrops.com, и его телегу: https://t.me/icodrops

Если у вас действительно много времени, то можете следить за происходящим в криптопространстве с помощью этих сайтов:

Аирдропы, сжигания токенов, запуски тестнетов, AMA сессии с разработчиками и так далее.

Сайт для нашего года выглядит так себе (если знаете сделанный лучше, напишите) https://bitinfocharts.com/. Собственно, если вы из тех кто верит, что там киты все порешали, то можете взять чей-то кошелек из списка https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html и следить за ним. А можно смотреть, что делают биржи, в теории можно таким образом делать выводы о том какая стадия идет на рынке, накопление или распределение.

Если вы считаете, что это полезно смотреть какие альткоины держат киты, то можете попробивать их кошельки из предыдущего сайта по:

И так далее. В теории, конечно, можно искать и какие-то контракты и смотреть что там накодили, но лично я не умею в solidity.

Как уже писал, https://ru.tradingview.com и https://dexscreener.com/, я особо не пытаюсь накидывать какие-то индикаторы на графики, во всяком случае серьезно, но даже когда делаю не ухожу дальше связки macd+осциллятор, иногда смотрю на BTCUSDSHORTS & BTCUSDLONGS — Birfinex.

https://app.santiment.net/ сайт позволяет отслеживать активность разработчиков проектов, в том числе и на стадии ICO. Вот как это может выглядеть:

впрочем можно накладывать и статистику по числу фолловеров в соцсетях, цену биткоина/эфира, маркет кап, а так же некоторые on-chain данные.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore можно вбивать интересующую вас криптовалюту, как правило наблюдаем высокую корреляцию между популярностью запроса buy bitcoin (вставьте свою монету) и его ценой.

Как же не упомянуть его, https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/ В целом есть некоторая корреляция между этим индексом и капитализацией крипторынка, логика простая, чем сильнее страх (ближе к 0), тем ближе дно (даунтренд), чем выше жадность (ближе к 100), тем активнее люди скупают крипту. Точки разворота определять по нему естественно странная идея.

Если вам некуда девать время, то можете почитать слухи/факты/трустори на этом сайте https://cryptopanic.com/. Я не рекомендую, потому что в среднем, чем меньше смотришь новостей, тем спокойнее принимаешь решения, но упомяну этот ресурс. Естественно, на английском, но если случилось какое-то событие и вы ищете информацию по нему, то можете здесь по ключевым словам попробовать поискать.

На этом всё, рад если статья оказалась для вас полезной, прошу подписаться на мой телеграм, если не сложно.
