Why Tezos NFTs are on the RISE (still early!)

Let’s talk about the growing NFT scene on Tezos, and specifically Hic Et Nunc.

People who are new to the space might not know that a few months ago Hic Et Nunc (HEN) had more users and daily transactions than opensea, even though it was built on Tezos, not Ethereum which many believe to be the main NFT chain. This was at a time when NFT sales were dominated by crypto art, and HEN was very popular amongst both artists and collectors (I talk about why in the video). But then in June and July we saw an explosion in the rise of NFT pfp collectibles after the success of Bored Ape Yacht Club (cool cats, pudgy penguins, wicked craniums, etc.). This wave turned Opensea into the juggernaut that we know today. At the same time, HEN was hit with a big hack at the end of June which stalled their progress.

But now the winds of change are coming again. NFT collectibles AND Artblocks are both having their first real correction in months, and people are looking for eth alternatives as the gas problem gets worse. Solana was the first chain to benefit from the latter, but right now there’s a lack of quality supply to satisfy their new audience. Meanwhile, HEN is also picking up speed again, and as a result the price of Tezos has also been going up in recent weeks.

In this video I talk about what we can expect going forward and why I’m personally buying into the ecosystem. At the end of the video I also provide the steps you need to take to start buying Tezos NFTs

Advantages of Trading Futures Options

The popularity of trading futures options have increased over the years although there are still lots of traders who have negative perceptions about it. Most people may think that it is too difficult at the same time too risky and may not yield high profits just like trading in other types of markets. There are also those who have had bad experiences with futures options which have caused them to lose money.

Cheap Beef Isn’t Always a Positive

The drought of 2012 now covers more than half of the continental United States. Temperatures have set records throughout 2012 leading to the warmest 12-month period since the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began keeping records in 1895. When we combine these temperatures with the 10th driest June on record and consider that the rain we have seen has not made it to the Great Plains, it’s no wonder that grain prices have increased by 50% in the last month.
