What goes first, art or profit, speculation or the building value, FOMO or community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFTs are a hot topic, big opportunities and risks for investors and for creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article shows investors how to not lose money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a project where NFT influencers follow the project (not promoters or empty accounts that conduct giveaways). You can follow top guys in NFT, those who do not participate in scam projects, so by visiting some twitter NFT profiles you will see how many of them are following current NFT profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the number of followers of the project and their profiles, good if you have a multiplier of 5 to 6 of followers to NFT mint amount (for example 10,000 NFTs \u2014 60,000 followers on Twitter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the quality of followers \u2014 what they repost; are they playing with giveaways; are they writing meaningful messages; geolocations; how many followers have followers of NFT profile<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check collaborations with other projects, have they sold out, and how are they doing after the mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the number of discord users in the main chat,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the quality of conversation, authors of unique meaningful messages. It is quite hard to do manually but can show you a good picture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also check the tokenomics of the project, and how holders will benefit from holding an NFT. Ask a simple question, why floor prices should go up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s check a couple of examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collection 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our article about that<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creators say that their discord got 60,000 users in less than 48h. Try to create FOMO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They continued enlarging their user base this way, therefore the day before mint the community consisted of 230k subscribers on Discord, 19k on Twitter and 62k on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some big numbers. Yet it seems that the team has promoted the project with bots, as their Discord has only 11k daily online users. This simple math shows us that about 80% of the audience consists of bots. The activity is corresponding: there are only 700\u20131000 unique people who text something in Discord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the majority of the audience on Twitter is from Saudi Arabia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition, as we know from our experience, the more community members are from the USA, the more chances there are for the project to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now their page on Twitter and Instagram look like that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The day before the mint date, we wrote in the community discord server about our findings, but we were blocked by admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This community we scored with our metrics: mint support, buying power, top influencers count. All these metrics were high and consequently all the investors who minted those NTFs got good gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at their statistics on Open Sea<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another one is Los Muertos World, which got a good scores on our metrics, and also brought to investors who mint those NFTs some good gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance is the largest and the most popular crypto exchange nowadays. It is the whole world with its own cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFT martketplace and a large community of adepts worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s see how Binance\u2019s CEO, CZ, succeeded in building the leading exchange and making a difference in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it all began<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), launched Binance in July 2017 and led its rise to the world\u2019s top crypto exchange in just a half of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Chinese-born immigrant in Canada, CZ came from humble beginnings, he even worked at McDonald\u2019s. After graduating with a computer science degree, CZ went into software development. In 2013, he learned about Bitcoin and decided to dedicate his life to it. CZ even sold his apartment to buy the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having worked some time for a crypto wallet provider and a crypto marketplace, OKCoin, CZ ventured into building his own exchange. He finally launched Binance through a $15 million ICO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it became so popular<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovative decisions CZ took to build Binance allowed the platform to overcome its rivals. Till now it offers high volumes, low fees, and distinct advantages to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This included the launch of a decentralized exchange called Binance DEX and the development of the BNB Smart Chain, along with the Binance Futures and Binance Coin (BNB) \u2014 which has become more than just a native token. To stay on trend, in June 2021 Binance presented its own NFT marketplace with lower minting fees for crypto artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other important features CZ implemented into his exchange were AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance. These verification procedures prevent scams and speculations, and their adoption raised the authority of Binance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CZ himself names the things which make Binance successful. They are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Values<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Protecting Users<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Product<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were there any pitfalls?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance\u2019s way was not that easy for sure. At the start, CZ and his team faced challenges when the value of BNB sank below ICO price. But that was fixed with a decision to transform Binance into a more decentralized operation with a global workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a difference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance remains the leading crypto exchange, but aims to become even something more in this world. It\u2019s interesting to see how the platform interacts and reacts not only to the challenges of the crypto industry, but also to the real-world events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Binance has set up the affiliate Binance.US to abide by financial regulations in the United States and stay in the legal field. Another great thing is that during the Russian-Ukrainian war, Binance allocated a $10M donation to help the Ukrainian refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CZ is definitely leading a socially responsible and community-friendly business, which deserves respect, and maybe even adoption of some of Binance\u2019s values.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How Did Binance Change the Crypto Industry?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"how-did-binance-change-the-crypto-industry","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-19 09:38:12","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-19 09:38:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/78.47.81.216\/?p=494","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":866,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2023-01-20 15:56:10","post_date_gmt":"2023-01-20 15:56:10","post_content":"\n

Thanks to NFT staking<\/strong>, financial systems on the blockchain<\/strong>, and smart contracts<\/strong>, NFT tokens<\/a> <\/strong>are real tools for generating passive income<\/strong> in large amounts. You can stake your NFTs<\/strong> on special NFT staking<\/strong><\/a> platforms<\/strong> and earn money without losing NFT <\/strong>owning rights to your tokens<\/strong><\/a>, NFTs <\/strong>and that's great. Any NFTs <\/strong>holder can understand how to stake <\/strong>NFT on NFT staking platform<\/strong>, what it means <\/strong>and how it works<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today staking an NFT<\/strong> is a promising subset of DeFi (financial instruments based on blockchain<\/strong>). First of all, it offers crypto <\/strong>and NFT holders<\/strong> the ability to earn tokens <\/strong>on their NFTs <\/strong>with no need to trade. This makes NFT staking<\/strong> a perfect option for a passive income <\/strong>for NFT holders<\/strong> nowadays. But how does NFT staking work<\/strong> for your crypto wallet<\/a> <\/strong>and what are the NFT staking opportunities<\/strong> for you? Now we will tell you in more detail about NFT staking<\/strong>, what NFT stacking is, what NFT staking platforms offer<\/strong>, and the way it all works <\/strong>for NFT holders<\/strong> and crypto <\/strong>NFT experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staking an NFT<\/strong>: what it means <\/strong>and how it can work<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you know a lot about blockchain<\/strong>, smart contracts<\/strong>, and dealing with DeFi, you've probably heard of crypto <\/strong>staking a lot. So, crypto <\/strong>staking means <\/strong>the process of blocking your tokens<\/a> <\/strong>and coins in exchange for earnings. NFT staking<\/a> on NFT platforms <\/strong>goes in much the same way as staking cryptocurrencies<\/strong>, but with NFTs<\/strong>, there are some differences in contrast to crypto <\/strong>staking. The income for staking an NFT<\/strong> will vary from the staking pool<\/strong>, NFT <\/strong>rarity,\u00a0 and the NFT staking platform<\/strong> on which you put tokens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can be NFT staking explained<\/strong>? That way, NFT staking<\/strong> on platforms works similarly because NFTs <\/strong>are tokens<\/a> <\/strong>and tokenized actives. In summary, an NFT<\/strong> stake <\/strong>is blocking your token <\/strong>into the blockchain<\/strong>, often in exchange for NFT passive income<\/strong> and earnings. This is how NFT staking<\/a><\/strong> works <\/strong>with a blockchain <\/strong>today. Now we will look at all the ways to use NFT staking<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
