Hello jet lag, my old friend. I ended up sleeping soundly from 9:30 until 12:30 last night. Then maybe snuck in a couple one hour naps throughout the rest of the morning. I’ve been in better shape, but I’ve been in worse also. I’ll need to stay positive and grind through 5 hours before my flight.

I bought into my first NFT community on Saturday. I do a bit of NBA Top Shot collecting and I had been looking to buy a few NFTs over the last couple of months. Part of this was fueled by speculation and another part was just genuine interest in web3.

Luckily, I was able to stay disciplined and didn’t chase for the speculative nature of NFTs. I know a lot of folk have made a lot of money on NFTs, but I believe the crazy appreciation days are largely over. I personally am much more interested in the general applicability and community building that comes from NFTs.

I have been lurking on a few Discord channels over the last few months and unfortunately I just couldn’t relate to many. There were too many topics I was uninterested in and I didn’t feel like I wanted to join any of them except for the fact that I could potentially make money off these NFTs. I felt those were the wrong reasons to join.

Enter Knights of Degen. The community built for sports and entertainment fans with an emphasis on betting, hence the degenerate gambler reference. This was more my speed. After spending a shit ton of money on gas fees, I finally found a knight I wanted and bought it for 0.2 ETH.

I’m still learning a lot and getting ingrained into the Discord. I’ve been having fun so far and will look to get more involved. I do encourage as many people to explore communities. It’s clear that NFTs will be a large part of web3 and I’m stoked to be participating at the next frontier of the internet. #KGMI
