GM! Grab a coffee, take a seat & get comfy it’s time for a weekly recap!
Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend filled with plenty to be thankful for and loved ones by your side. For those who didn't have a holiday weekend, I hope you are ready for the holiday season ahead.
The space has been rapidly catching everyone’s eye from Quentin Tarantino’s NFTs to multiple headlines about the metaverse. It is without a doubt that although many of us who’ve been in the game for a while are early, mainstream adoption is underway. That being said the space as a whole can be very confusing, hard to grasp, full of FOMO & anxiety. I’ve recently seen a video of DJ Khalid purchasing a Bored Ape go viral, this may bring many new first-time users to the market, and we, the pioneers have got to bridge the gap. “Once you get into NFTs you become addicted” I’ve heard this phrase a thousand times; it’s very true, you become eager to absorb as much knowledge as you can and decentralization becomes clear as water. Web3 can be a mouthful to describe, as we all know. Hype is one of the biggest engines which drives this space, both positively and negatively. This is why it is key to find prime projects and communities, which is easier said than done. Without further ado let’s get into this week’s content.
My articles are simply tools to aid the space. All views will be my own, my articles are NOT financial advice. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH
We will be covering seven highlights from last week
FEUDALZ STAKING
Feudalz launched their staking amid the Thanksgiving holiday allowing holders to claim 44 GOLDZ over the weekend. The price of GOLDZ is currently sitting at $4.87 per token, you can currently perform trades via UniSwap. I personally love what the team is working on and I am proud to mention that I hold a Feudalz myself. Development for a working game with GOLDZ as the in-game currency is currently underway. This is a project I will keep under my radar, they’ve acted quickly to provide utility for their community and I know they have a plethora of great additions under their sleeve.
GAME NFTS: FOX GAME, LEGEND MAPS, BEAR GAME
Following the success of Wolf game and Feudalz, as mentioned in last week’s recap, many projects have taken this idea to implement staking and a game for their communities. That being said games take a great deal of effort, time, and liquidity to succeed. We will see many try and plenty fail. Those that thrive will provide more than quick flips and fake promises to the communities they truly stand behind. I personally believe some projects jump the gun and want to produce something quick. After all, it’s the nature of the space to be surrounded by FOMO. This doesn’t simply apply to recent game-based NFTs, with that, I’ve seen horrendous GAS prices amidst low gas levels on top of collections being “stealth drops”. For example, Bear Game praised itself to be a stealth drop… but is a collection truly stealth if the announcement is repeatedly announced everywhere? A rushed project means that small tweaks can result in harsh transactions in investors’ pockets. Ethereum is already flooded with horrid transactions fees, why would a project barrier heavier to their consumers? I’ll leave that up to you to figure out
Legend Maps seems to have a pretty simple outline and I am excited to see how their project does in the long run. As for Fox game, I like the concept but it simply isn’t for me. Many of my fens have loved the community thus far, and I wish them all the best.
THE LITTLES
Boy, this is a project that I wish I could’ve minted. With a mint price of Ξ.125 and partnerships with SupDucks, The CyberKongz, and KaijuKingz it was an obvious green flag. The secondary market is currently doing tremendously well with a current floor price of .28 and the highest last sales sitting a whopping Ξ29.99. My intuition is telling me holders will be rewarded immensely. This will be a very key project to tabs on.
BRICKTOPIANS BY LAW DEGREE
This project aims to be “The first” 4D collection on the Ethereum blockchain, the current floor price sits at Ξ.12. I am very impressed with their website and what they want to achieve, go take a look for yourself, it truly is very captivating. That being said, will it be enough to reinvent the wheel? Only time will tell, If the community is strong enough it can withstand anything.
Bricktopians seem to have a very powerful backing and I am thrilled to see what other Projects do to rise up and produce more inventive works to provide more tools to their consumers. Above the brand, success, and prosperity if a project lacks a strong community, it will simply not make it. This goes for all projects.
HUMANS OF THE METAVERSE
My alpha-catching legend of a fren the one and only, the man himself, Print was the first to introduce me to this upcoming project. My biggest highlight to mention is UTILITY, This one is sure packed full of it. With a captivating Sims structured game, a hell of a community, and captivating art, my attention was very rapidly snatched. If you haven’t yet joined their discord or check out their website to see what they’ve got cooking, I recommend you do so ASAP!
The public sale will take place on December 2nd
With the Pre-Sale taking place a day prior, on Wednesday December 1st

VIRAL NFT TRADES
Following Jimmy Fallon and Post Malones BYAC purchases, DJ Khaled had to jump aboard!
Did Y’all catch the clip of Posty buying a Bored Ape in his latest music video 👀
A video of DJ Khaled processing his transaction on OpenSea for a Bored Ape recently went viral. The video depicts a very enthusiastic message from the king himself saying “it’s a new world”
Of course, this brings much attention to the already highly valued BYAC community but in my eyes, this makes me beyond bullish for the NFT space as a whole. This brings attention to blockchain and makes people want to interact with purchasing their first NFT. For that, I am thankful for the massive following big celebrities can bring to the space.

WE’VE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST
Speaking of purchasing your first NFT, a very dear and close friend of mine has phenomenally curated a navigator guide for the world of NFTs. I’ve said this time and time again, this space lacks easy and accessible information in order for mainstream adoption to take place. Cleovannaa has been working on a book to provide easy steps for first-time NFT enthusiasts. This book is filled with amazing bits of informational content, from defining basic terms, NFT Etiquette, and even how to set up your digital wallet to begin collecting.
The first edition of her book will soon be revealed for all to read, this one is truly a gem.
Listed below are links to be the first to catch Cleos Book release
