Gotcha
Buying and selling NFTs is basically like playing stock options on an wildly accelerated timeline (like buying and selling within hours or days, with entirely new assets that pop-up constantly). So Iāve already moved on from all my best trades, and the best ones to get into next are likely in NFTs that havenāt even been minted yet. My only real recommendation would be to get into the discord and maybe dip your toes in what others are excited about.
That said, crypto is pretty skittish right now. Itās either a great time to buy or a potential knife-catching screwup if things drop further. But like Witchita said, itās definitely possible to outrun a drop in ethereum price by making trades that build your ethereum. Unless crypto goes to zero, I suppose.
ETA: Itās really hard to put a price on the quality of information in our discord. It would be incredibly easy to lose all your money in NFTs without the shared expertise of the UP folks.

Iāve decided to listen to that Jim guy. He seems to get it.

So getting my Twitter account suspended for wishing death on the unvaxxed is bad?
at least I tried to tell you that buying in the 50kās was just nuts when you said the same thing.
here do whatever I guess, though I thought 40k was either going to be a bottom and things turned around and instead it broke straight through it.
if you like losing a shit ton of money lately, well we got some great ideas for you

lol Facebook and Instagram
The other major platforms are Reddit, Telegram, & Medium. Youtube only for gameplay videos to see if itās a real project.
The first 
Twitter profile I see linked to an avi worth more than the average US worker makes in two decades is going to give me a stroke.
I donāt know. Iām just trying to get an idea for what sort of time sink this is. I think Iām almost decided that the next batch of run-good I have in poker, Iām going to sink some of that profit into this space.
Iām a bankroll nit in poker who likes to keep at least 50 buyins easily accessible in cash/chips. Iāve never done any investing in stonks or anything else, so I have to figure out how much exposure I want. Iām not a YOLO/FOMO guy whoās going to Leroy Jenkins his way into this, which might be a bad mindset for this sort of thing, but I am what I am.
I also forgot to add podcasts, but people have voted so I wonāt change it.
Given the libertarian bros who are into crypto, I assume there are guys who are hawking their hour-long Youtube videos on the subject. And people have posted informative Youtube videos ITT.
I know Doug Polk has posted crypto videos and I think heās been a gateway for some poker players, but Iāve always wanted to punch him in the face so I havenāt watched any of them. Are there Youtube channels that are valuable for basic info?
I have no idea, I would never watch a uToob (or listen to a podcast) to learn about crypto stuff unless it was very specific and relevant to the project, like gameplay video. I vastly prefer written words over some blabbermouth who is almost certainly getting paid behind the scenes to shill something. Iād start here (they do have some videos if you must):
Itās sort of up to you how much time you invest. I think that the more time you invest, the more profit you can make (in general). Thereās just so much stuff out there, we miss a ton of opportunities daily just because thereās way too much going on to keep track of.
A lot of times itās as easy as someone on Discord finding a good project (usually on Twitter or through another Discord), telling us about it / sharing it, we do a bit of research ourselves and buy it / mint it.
Podcast/Youtube is more for buying or trading bitcoin or altcoins, not for NFTs.
