π₯ Pixelmon and how itβs becoming an IP play
I believe that IP building can be summed up as:
βtarget a niche, if that niche gets excited enough β¦ it will spill overβ
Our niche is I) monster collecting nostalgics that II) are web3 initiated.
When they get excited enough - things will spill over to non web3 initiated.β¦ twitter.com/i/web/status/1β¦β GiulioX (@GiulioXdotEth)

π₯ Beanie comes back to life and sweeps Kodas
Just swept kodas as a passive proxy bet on web3 gaming. Bayc and mayc both had epic runs. Much of it tied to apecoin.. Otherside price action has been horrific but l it was a several hundred million dollar sale and kodas are the main character. Yuga way ahead of all in resources.
