            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had better days in the space. Those huge spikes (all green-ish)..oh boy, have not had that feeling since forever 🫠. We have seen an overall decrease on interest in crypto and NFTs. At least that’s what Google says. Overall trend is going down for both.</p><p>For crypto as we can see below, there was a spike of interest 📈 on May this year, all this because of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://web3lunch.substack.com/p/terra-luna-2-is-coming-tomorrow?s=w">Luna fall</a> which we covered in our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://web3lunch.substack.com/p/can-luna-go-up-to-100?s=w">previous newsletter</a>. While interest in NFTs is pretty much at the same level it was early October last year.</p><p>This makes me believe that the entire NFT space is mostly built in hype and FOMO. It is not about the art or the community. I have been around projects enough to know that community sticks around as long as they are making money. The moment it starts going down, they move on onto the next project. There is no such thing as long term investment in the space. Everything is a potential for flip. 🤗</p><p>OpenSea traded volume has been staying pretty much at the same levels for the last couple of months. Currently sitting at 1.8 million ETH ($3.3 billion 🤯) traded volume during the month of May.</p><p>However, considering all those, I still believe that NFTs and crypto are here to stay with us. In bear times, the one who benefit the most are the ones who keep building. 🤙</p><p>Btw, we learned that there are <strong>only 4k active developers on Ethereum blockchain 👨‍💻</strong>. That is extremely low number. And a really good opportunity about those who are interested in the space.</p><p>I have been working on preparing a doc ‘Steps To Become a Web3 Developer 📝’ and should be sending out by the end of this month. This doc is meant to serve you the sources as well as the route you can take to become a web3 developer faster. Obviously, having some experience in the web2 space would be helpful, but I will consider that everyone is starting from scratch so there will be learning resources from entry-expert level.</p><p>If interested to receive a draft of it, email us at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="mailto:newsletter@web3lunch.com">newsletter@web3lunch.com</a> 🤓</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Nelson, it is with sadness that I write what will probably be my last review on FrostFlakes…</p><p>Launched in June 2022 FrostFlakes was the first-ever project from Jack. With the desire to build something different, something more than a “pump and dump”, something fun, that would endure. For many months FF took on the bear face first and resisted a major market meltdown.</p><p>Unfortunately, FF ran out of time. The many ingenious ways to seek outside revenue streams that would aid and help the project fight the predictable decay of too many maxed-out wallets gave in. In an ever-shrinking market, caused by a long and depressing crypto winter, the frost began to melt…</p><p>A captain that goes down with the ship! Jack, FrostFlakes Dev, has been through all the turmoil as someone that remained true to his beliefs and displayed an immense fortitude, very rare in the Crypto space.</p><p>One of the last actions taken by the FrostFlakes team was to sell Jack’s services as a Dev to create a contract for another project. As payment, Jack will receive a portion of the fees of that project as long as the project lives, regardless of whether that project lives for one month or 6 months, FrostFlakes will undoubtedly perish before. Jack will take it upon himself to collect these fees, whatever the sum up to, and use them to help those that were unable to reach ROI in FrostFlakes.</p><p>I Joined FrostFlakes 58 days ago, and feel fortunate to have followed their path and witnessed actions and attitudes that are becoming scarcer even if every day more needed.</p><p>This is my thank you to Jack and to all the FrostFlakes community. See you soon… Nelson</p><p>If you have enjoyed my article, please consider some claps as it helps to reach more people, and if you would like to know more about my crypto journey consider subscribing.</p><p><em>Nothing in this article is intended to constitute investment advice.
