12 Pivotal Moments that took the #NFT Industry exponential.

Not just money - we're talking Industry Progress & WTF Moments.

1/ Thread 👇

2/ #Decentraland goes public - Feb 20th

First impressions were, empty, lonely, buggy, crashes, not much to do, etc.

Now there's HQ's, Top DJ Events, 100+ Galleries and
December so far had over 5k weekly visitors.

I wrote a post-launch article,

3/ $WHALE Launches May 3rd - A social currency backed by $2M+ of #NFT assets by @WhaleShark_Pro & @whale_community.

People across all NFT projects & platforms were incentivized to work together.

A top social currency by market cap, volume AND community.

4/ @trevorjonesart Picasso's Bull sells for $55k on @niftygateway.

A record sale at the time for a single Art NFT. Many in the broader NFT space started to pay attention from here.

The drop totalled ~ $75k with a Silver /10 recently going for $19.5k! on 8th Dec, (from $750)
5/ Eth fees Sky rocket - Mid 2020

With Activity on ETH going berserk, ETH fees went from average $0.20 per transaction to now ~$5.4. More with NFTs.

This forced NFT projects, (especially gaming), to prioritize scaling/L2 while it was still 'ok' to trade Art as most are $300+
6/ @AxieInfinity's $SLP token 50x's - July 2nd Week.

The SLP token is a reward mechanism for players of the game. It's uncapped supply and was never seen as 'investible' until it 50x'd in 2-3 days.

ERC-20 Exposure for NFT projects made a lot of sense.

They now have $AXS
7/ @JordanLyall & the MEME Team launch @DontBuyMeme Aug 15th.

Started as a joke on copy pasting De-Fi projects & Farming food coins.

Which evolved quickly to an NFT Farming De-Fi experiment.

DeFi+NFT intersection was born.

Also had a drop by @WilliamShatner & @deadmau5 !

Rarible launched their token & incentive structure in July. 6+ Months into existence.

In September MANY people realized they had a juicy airdrop. Some $10-$20k+

It👏Went👏Wild👏

High volume, influencers, flippers everyone rushed there.
10/ @nba_topshot launches on @flow_blockchain by @dapperlabs.

Significant because it was a sports collectible NFT project done right. $2M traded so far.

Looked good, healthy secondary market, mainstream appeal.

Top by Volume + on Flow. New L1 in town.

11/ @ChristiesInc auctions the first NFT-Physical piece by @robertalice_21 - Oct 7

The first 'NFT' to be sold at the largest Art Auction house goes for $130k.

A mainstream moment that got larger auction houses to pay attention.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
