Good evening. Good evening, all, good evening.

What I mean?

Awesome. Good evening everyone. Good evening. If you will take a moment, tweet out the space, I'm gonna do the same as we listen to my delight by Gavin Turik.

Hey Secky, good to see you. Good to see you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey. Hey, congratulations for winning the thread challenge you aren't doing. Mary Beth will be here in a minute.

Yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been tied with her. So I'm excited to have both of you guys.

You're great.

I'm tweeting it out if you thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I I look forward to continuing to having some more conversation not only with with y'all, but with Miyagi and with Emily about writing these right these threads and it has been a challenge.

No, but you guys really did a great job and your threads were entertaining and you are you upgraded actually you changed throughout the process and you see what I see is I see you saw what worked and you saw what didn't and that's what the whole thing was about, is like, you know, taking a skill and making it better so.

Kudos and I hope your engagement is doing well too.

Yeah. Well, we don't, we don't try to try to keep it moving. It's uh, you know, now that I know how to access those analytics, I am.

I am pushing. I'm like looking at him like OK that's that's working is that is that not you know? So it has definitely been a growing process for me. I learned a whole lot that hopefully we can keep on, keep keep that train moving.

And it's all about the analytics and data. So as long as you keep you're looking at the data and you're seeing what works for you and you're changing and and you know adapting, then it'll work out just fine.

I see you got your speakers here.

Yeah, we are coming up with uh. I just sent a request down to me. Iggy. We have Emily loves crypto here. Good evening. Good evening.

Good evening to you both.

Hello, good evening.

And I was.

I haven't even gotten the chance we came across in and jumped right in. But let me take a moment to intro the space and we will jump right into our conversation. So welcome everyone. This is onaji you presents the comments, I'm your host boss. Two point O. Our conversation today is thread talk. We have the winners of the 30 day thread challenge from Stacky Robinson and also from Mary Beth Salas and we're going to be talking about.

What are the events today? So as you coming in and as you get settled and as we get into our conversation don't be afraid to tweet out the space. We will be opening space probably a little bit later for for questions and if you would like to to chat with anyone here on the any of our special guest today. But we also have the chat feature down there on that lower right hand side, the little chat bubble down there. So feel free to use that you know if you are with us and you don't want to speak or

But let's go ahead and jump right into it. So.

Again, welcome, welcome. We got Sticky Robinson here on stage one of the one of the lovely.

People who were.

Who started the challenge? And we also have Emily loves crypto, a winner of the challenge and Crypto Miyagi as well. So if you would please for the for the two of you, Emily and Miyagi, feel free to take a moment to introduce yourself to us.

Sure. I am muted first, so I guess I'll go first.

Go for it.

My name's Emily, obviously.

I am the co-founder of Foolproof Labs which is the first on chain security app available for Web 3 wallets. I started in crypto and like 2019.

Kind of went the same route as everyone else and listen to podcasts with some articles.

Got into Coinbase, started buying some tokens and then I kind of went down the D5 path and then landed in alt coins and then I was head of product for an altcoin that was producing an energy marketplace. And that's the time that kind of deep dive into NFT's and energy Twitter and to do a lot of research there. And here I am now I guess.

Very nice. Welcome, Welcome Miagi feel feel free. Do you have a moment to intro yourself to us this evening?

Yeah. What's going on everybody appreciate you for posting this space, boss, I am a Miyagi. I came into space almost a year now.

Founder Verified Alpha Gal, where we focused really on just education.

And onboarding individuals into space in a safe and secure way.

Kind of came in doing just research on rugs because that was the time that I came into the space and since then just evolved my writing into just reviewing and highlighting the solid projects that are out there.

All right. We appreciate that. For those of you who don't know me, there are a few people who are in in the space. I'm boss 2.0 Deanna Communications over at Onaji 10 KPP project that is committed to educating black and brown people and allies on blockchain tech. And what is this? This is October, so this is month 9 for me in the space. I came in my first.

Ever enough that I'm into it wasn't on IG and from there it has kind of continued. I have joined the team from there and I'm Deena Communications so I run a medium blog that is not only my own but also highlighting some of the things that are going that's going on in Anandji. And also this, this thread stuff I've seen seem to have stepped into this and I'm really excited to share a lot more of my writing, not only with Twitter but in a lot of different mediums.

So I'll go ahead and kind of jump right in and I've got.

I've gotta say I'm super.

I just admire the two of you big time, not not only for the the writing that you do, but for how much you're in the space and all the things that you were doing in the space. If you did not know yesterday, I believe Miyagi hosted a space with Emily over about full foolproof app. And if you don't know about foolproof app, I definitely recommend for you to go check out that space. It was like foolproof is doing stuff in the web.

Market that is very much needed and I think everyone needs to know about. So before we get into our conversation, I just want to make sure I plugged that. I'm going to try to find that tweet so I can pop it up on the Jumbotron, but it is something that I feel like everyone needs to make sure that they take a note of stacking. I saw your hand. Feel free.

No, I wanted you to go ahead and do your thing. And also I had some questions for all the all of you that participated in the challenge. So I know there's some writers up here. I know Miyagi and you balls are writers. Emily herself is a great and wonderful writer and I did not know that she wrote that well. So I know some of you guys use tools to kind of get those threads out there faster. I just wanted to know which tools did you guys end up using to to write your threads?

Well, did you just use uh, Twitter app? Did you use Tweet hunter? Did you use type fully? Did you use? What did you use?

I'll go ahead and talk together. Speakers, go ahead.

Yes, go ahead, boss.

No.

Yeah, for free I was. I will talk it over over to y'all. So any anytime.

Oh, cool. Yeah, type fully I would say. For me was probably the biggest.

The biggest tool, because it allowed me to.

Well, I think first I should say I've originally started writing medium post. I wasn't even really writing threads. So it wasn't until I saw type fully and somebody actually mentioned to me like yo bro, you know you could drop those as threads as well to kind of get the cross pollination of the engagement.

And that's when my writing really started, like getting more exposure was when I put them as threads and so typically literally allowed me to.

Copy and paste a paragraph that I would write and show me where the tweet needed to be separated, where that thought needed to be separated. So for me, thankfully, was probably the biggest, the biggest tool that I used. And just recently I've gotten hip to copy AI. That kind of allows me to de jumble my declutter my brain.

And kind of put my thoughts together in a way that I may not have been able to see it if if you're getting writers block. That was a good one for me.

I love.

I just use Notepad and I'm mad as that no one ever mentioned that there's tools for this.

What now? You you wrote that's you on point because it like Emily, your threads are like super comprehensive. Your threads are like.

Yeah, I like literally just putting in my notes. I just put them in my notes and then I like, break them into paragraph.

They're so super comprehensive in there and they've got so much like I could not sit there and try to cut into 240 characters for each for each section. So big time, kudos to you for that big time kudos.

And negative points to Miyagi for not mentioning the tools available.

Oop, Shane.

Right. I never heard of any of those tools.

It's so.

I think it was.

Also, please DM me the names of the tools because I don't know what they are.

I think it was stacky that put me on game to type fully.

Jackie.

Ohh.

And then the copier AI.

Zackie sandbagging and I feel like I got, I feel like, I feel like it was rigged.

Copy. I actually just recently got hit two in the last like 2-3 weeks and then I saw somebody else confirm it, so I knew I was on to something.

So yeah, I love copy AI and I did type thread fully. I gave some hints in the beginning and I put in the group chat. You might not have saw it, but I did put type fully as one of the fruit, the things that I preferred to use. But there are some other things like if you're tagging a lot of people you can't use type fully. So what I do is I'll go to tweet hunter dot IO I'm sorry not tweet hunter dot I hopefully actually lets you tag people, but you have to buy the advanced version to post videos.

So I had to use Tweet Hunter to post videos. So if I needed like you, one of my threads had a bunch of videos, then that's what I would do. So Boss, did you end up using any kind of tools or anything like that?

Yeah I've been, I've I've been using typically since before I I jumped into the thread challenge because there was the medium blogs that I write for onaji. I went ahead and took those and a lot of times I will write them and then schedule them because I'm doing other stuff during during the day. And so typically also has a scheduling function that I would use and I am big time stickler on like spelling and grammar and.

It has to be #1 perfect before it dropped, before I drop it. So it really allows me to like go in and see how it's actually going to look. Formatting for me has been something that has been a challenge and so typically kind of allows me to go in and just really set how I wanted to look because I'm all about aesthetics and balance and stuff like that. So for me, typically has been the detour for me that I really super love. We got money mom, welcome money mom to the comments. It's good to have yo

Hey, uh.

So I I.

Feel free what to put it in, what would like to contribute.

I have to contribute that I help judge your threads. So I did get to read a lot of them. And y'all like it's funny hearing y'all say I use tools. I'm like you guys all cheated. No, I'm just kidding. I and I I write a lot of threads and so I don't use any tools like for formatting for anything like that. And I was just like, I get super overwhelmed. So I did like the first day of the 30 days read threads and I was like done with it. But I did read you guys threads and I was like so impressed by a

And you guys definitely, of course the top, the top three. And I was just like, oh, you know, even, you know, even with the tools like you still have to have like the idea. You still have to figure out, you know, what it like, what it is that you want to write about. So that's a skill. Yeah. I'm just here to kind of like add in like I, you know, I come from a side of Twitter where a lot of the content creation was threads. My, my, actually my first and only threat in that challenge was how to wr

But yeah, I didn't know anything about the tool. So that's, you know, it's interesting learning about them.

That's a good segue for what I wanted to to kind of ask. So I would like to ask each of each of the each of the winners to to kind of expound on on this question. And as we move forward you can kind of take us into other places. But what I what I definitely wanted to ask the two of you is how how do you how do you choose what thread content to to write about. There's so much that each of you have have written about. I know Emily's winning winning thread was about engagement.

Farming and I'll I'll toss it up in just a second, but I want to pose the question to the two of you. What you know, what process do you take to kind of choose what's right about?

I take this one first. I think for me it was kind of easy to pick my topics because I just leaned into what I was already doing before and I was just researching projects a lot of.

What I noticed when I came into the space is that there was no documentation of projects, good or bad. There was not like a database that I can go to and look and see. Hey, this person had this project, this person has that project. And so that was how I found my topics. What projects were people talking about? What projects are people? What projects should people be talking about? What artists do I feel are going under the radar?

And I try and keep it as as unbiased as possible as well when writing my reviews.

Can I ask you a question? Can I ask him a question, miagi?

Yeah.

OK. So I wanted to know too, did you ever think about getting paid for writing your threads about projects because you have said it's so good the way you write about projects. Like when you wrote about clubhouse archives it was so in depth and and a lot of people have trouble like you said research and projects and you have the research ability. So when I saw that you, you, you told me some things that I didn't even know and I know the man, so you know yeah so when when I saw your thread.

Yeah.

That you picked out some very good points, you picked out the you know some something that would be meaningful and you know and obviously you were surprised and stuff like I didn't know this project was as good as it was. So I think you sharing that knowledge in some kind of way and maybe even you know shoot charging for it because you know I'm all for monetization period. Like you need to get your money but for sure like did you ever think about monetizing your.

You know it. It wasn't until I started seeing people trying to make apps that do what I do did I realize, oh shit, I might have started something.

I had a I had a couple of people reach out to me, but once I tell them.

What I do, they try to replace it with AI, right? And then that's when the grading systems and things come in. Just recently I started running into some individuals who have seen the value in my long form writing and they have started to give me some ideas and and some.

Some starter systems as to how I can try and monetize it. I am starting to look to work with other people on a larger scale as far as the research goes too, because it's not even just like NFT projects that our research, our research utility projects are you know artists themselves. I don't want to research coins, but if it goes that route to where people started needing more information on D5 protocols, I can do that as well. So in short term, yes.

Money, mom, do you have something for me?

Yes, I was gonna say um, if you like writing long you know, long threads and stuff like that. My best advice for monetization is starting your own blog. And while that might sound like Ohh blog like whatever, a lot more people are searching on Google, especially like for NFT's web three knowledge. Like even even like simple threads like you know how to tie your shoes. Like people are looking on Google for how to tie your shoes and they're reading blogs like and I'm one of those.

People like, I like to, you know, I like blogs and a lot of information. I like good writers and I'm still doing a lot of research using Google and using the search engine. And once you have those ranked articles on Google, like which some of them are harder to rank than others. But when you think about like web three and FT's and stuff, there's not a lot of writers like out there like who are like getting into projects and like really, you know, truthfully writing about them and stuff and like

Like, I see those being blogs, you know what I'm saying? Like in a lot of my threads that I write, they're like summaries of blogs that I've read. They're summaries of like, you know, articles that I've read like in my own words, like what I think of them or you know, me converting the advice in my own words. So like having both and then even plugging your your blog on on Twitter and stuff like that and other social media is definitely a great way to monetize.

Thank you money Mom for for helping with.

Yeah, appreciate that.

Contribution. We appreciate that. Let's take it to Emily. Emily, how do you, how do you choose your thread content? You've got a whole lot out there as well. You've got even personal ones about. You know about personal and and anecdotes. You've got threads about community. The one of my favorites is how not to argue your point, because I spent a lot of time in spaces and.

So much. Me too.

How guilty is everybody of like everything on there? Every time I'm listening to some of these like 100 plus followers spaces, I'm like, you are literally like you're disqualified from this debate. You've disqualified yourself 100 times over. You're not even competing then everyone in this space is like applauding and throwing hearts and stuff. And I'm like you fucking lambs, like what is wrong with you?

Anyways, um, yeah, actually, the other day one of my friends even tagged somebody speaking in that post, and I, like, didn't realize what was going on. It was like kind of contentious. And I was like, yeah, I can't believe you bookmarked that. I'm so happy. And she was like stirring shit.

So you guys are so positive. That's so great. I love that. I'm just kind of a salty bitch and when something upsets me or I see a wrong or I see like misinformation going around, that's normally what tends to inspire me, right? Or like when I see.

I don't know. I mean everything that I everything I do is definitely with the best intentions. I'm just like a little.

I don't know. Neurodivergent, I guess, and like a little bit blunt. So yeah, like sometimes I come across like a little harder than I intend to. But really it's like just wait to annoy me with something and then I'll write a thread about just how wrong you are.

Yeah, so that's that's honestly the root of a lot of it, right? Like, I used to write a lot of things and like basic, basic security just because I saw so many people getting scammed and it's just like such a tragic.

I don't know reality of Web 3 and that's, you know, part of what our inspiration was really like driving with product market. It's that, you know, people get scammed and that money is gone. Like it's, you know, a lot of those NFTS just get burned. It just, you know, it sucked out of the environment. They're not like reinvesting in other people's projects right. And most of us are and like we want to see the evolution of it, but that just gets sent, you know, straight to Tornado cash and then out

I don't know. They kind of, they kind of go all over the place like a lot of it has to do with.

I find myself repeating a lot on spaces where it's just like, you know, my abstracted view of what I think is going on in the space, or like my interpretation of it. And a lot of, you know, my understanding of the T comes from my background in.

In tech and product management product development, that's been like the entirety of my career, as well as a bunch of small business ownership. And me and my dad used a chocolate company. My husband and I own a harbor store. Now I've had, you know, my variety of silly little projects that I've just kind of like gone through the motions of trying to make a thing and then see what happens, and then I kind of like.

I don't know. I'll get bored of them. Move on. So that's, you know, kind of the the expertise that I've collected over time and kind of how can they, how can they help other people? Because I hate to see people make the same mistakes that I've done hundreds and hundreds of times. Like what was all of my pain for if I can't, you know, help somebody do it better next time.

I'm yeah.

Nice. If I'm gonna, I I wanna ask is is if that you know if if you being irked about some stuff that you saw kind of inspired you to write your winning thread on engagement farming and if you guys didn't see it but the Jumbotron all three are up there. So tell us about that one.

That's my favorite.

That's my favorite one of yours. That's my favorite thread that you wrote.

I'm going to be perfectly honest. That thread was a joke. That thread is like just poking, poking fun. It was poking, it was poking fun to influencers. It was literally poking funny influencers. Because I just, like, see the same cringe stuff every single day. And like, with less chatter on the timeline, it's just so much more obvious to me. It like is glaring at me, right? Like, it's just so blatant and I'm like and then and then there's like literally thousands of likes on it. Like, how what i

That.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Like, is it automatic? Is it bought it? Like what is happening? It just it is just infuriating. I don't know, like some of them are a lot more fiery. If you dig deeper in my post, there's one about like the origins of blackface and like why we shouldn't do blackface anymore and you know, mostly related to a particular community member that doesn't seem to know what it is.

Hmm. Uh, Viagra with your hand. And then thank you. Thought you had yours, and then we'll go to you right after.

Yeah, I was just gonna say that that engagement farming thread is legit. One of my favorites.

And it's funny because a lot of Emily's threads come like she said, at the perfect time. So that's how I realized, ohh shit, she's got a scope on the whole market, regardless if she's tweeting about it or not.

Because at the time that that don't argue your point in Twitter spaces was coming on, I think it was like a lot of crazy stuff being said and and spaces and a lot of arguments going on. So like it, it just really is perfect timing and then that engagement Formula One came right before the ship posting meta turned into a thing. So it's like her timing is impeccable when it comes to these threads.

So yeah, shout out to Emily for that one.

It's just that, like, my, you know, my tolerance for this stuff has gone way down.

Thank you. Go ahead. What you got for Emily?

No. I wanted to know what how and cause Emily's uh she's pretty serious sometimes right when it it was especially when it comes to like scammers and things like that. And I notice but she used to talking about.

Yeah.

No, I wasn't.

I just wanted to know like what made her go the lighthearted route this time, like the fun route this time. And because I know the influencer thread was kind of a it was funny, right? So I wanted to know how why you made a point to segue from what you usually do. Did you, did you were you tired of like being so serious or or did you want to just. Yeah, go ahead.

That wasn't tired at it. It's just like a different way to teach, right? Like, if I can poke fun at you for like, being ridiculous and people laugh at that and understand what we're all laughing at, then it's just like another another tool, right?

Yeah, they tend to.

Yeah.

Right. That's all I want to know like what made you kind of go that route versus the tech route versus the. You know, I find that the lighthearted posts they do get more engagement. You know the the more worthy it is. Yeah the more worthy it is the the less engagement it gets. It's just because and it's not because like OK you're engagement farming on the engagement farming crisis. Like no the your regular person doesn't understand a lot of the tech jargon. So when you when you do threads that e

Then they get more engagement anyway. So if you mix a little bit of that in there and you get your message across, I think that it has a good outcome. So that's why I really like that engagement forum and post.

Um, that was my favorite for sure.

Yeah, it's, I mean, thank you. I'm glad you liked it so much. It's definitely like a like I'm always experimenting, I'm always testing things out. I'm always trying to like have the system and figure out where the gaps are. So that's just, you know, one more way, right. Like I'll post a variety of content then or you know, like I I I'm just an active participant I guess like in NF's in general, you know, regardless of my own project status, so.

Yeah, I try. I try a little bit of everything. I'm pretty fun most of the time, I swear. I just, you know, you got to get my point across.

The sweetheart. Emily's a sweetheart. Everybody. She might seem all tough and hard, but she's so sweet.

Everybody says they seem tough and like, I don't know where, I don't know where that's coming from. I don't know what part of me says people in that direction, but it's like definitely consistency.

Let me take a moment to reset our space. So welcome everyone. This is onaji you presents the comments. I'm boss 2.0. We are talking Twitter threads. Today we have got the winners of the 30 day Thread challenge hosted by Stacy Robinson who is up on stage right now, as well as Mary Beth Salas. And we're talking about right now just just the process sharing, sharing our favorite threads, sharing how we created them. What I what I want to ask next is kind of.

Getting into.

Engagement outside of the numbers and the analytics and I I I want to ask that because when I read each of the threads, and there have been so many that I've read not only from from the two winners, but also just threats that I that I read on Twitter. In general, I find that the ones that I resonate with are most other ones that are most authentic. For the ones that I've read from people that I know, I feel like I read them in their voices. I don't know if anybody else is. This is the same way.

Like when I'm reading a Yagi thread, I'm reading it in his voice and so I wanna ask the two of them.

How how do you how have you made writing these threads authentic to you?

Proof.

I think for me, honestly, I I reach out to the people who I'm writing with. I think because I'm writing about people sometimes it already, I get that emotional attachment if I'm able to have that conversation with them. I was able to talk with James from clubhouse archives. I was able to talk with, you know, chopper with floor tape, that writing. And that's probably why it it hit so hard because that was a real conversation that got translated into my words. I got.

To hear the passion, I got to see the sacrifice kind of thing. And so I think that just makes it easy and and and just breeds that originality on its own.

As opposed to if I was writing about something that I didn't really connect with and also should mention that I do about.

10 to 12 hours of research before I even write these.

So that's why for me sometimes my my threads are very spaced out because of the time that I put into each one, and sometimes I'm working on more than one at a time. So I think just the the amount of research that I put into it just makes it original in itself because I'm not just necessarily recopying their their roadmapping and saying hey this is it, I'm actually breaking it down piece by piece and putting a little bit of my my brain into it mixed with theirs.

That's real. I, I find I find the same thing for for some of the threats that I that I wrote they've they've been ones that I've been interested in and so the threats themselves have come out of my own research and I definitely think.

And this is not for everyone, but this is just how I approach social media and I approach education and and imparting information to others that we've got a responsibility to make sure that it is a unbiased or even B that the information is correct and so.

Taking those those times to research or taking those times to double and triple and quadruple check. I know I did that big time with my quadratic funding thread. Like that was something that in that one dropped right after everybody was talking about Bitcoin. And I know that so many people already knew the process, but I wanted to break it down in in a way that was a little bit less high level. But because there already is so much more information out there about it, I had to make sure that it w

Formula. I'm gonna have to get this right and so it takes a moment to to.

Take that information, digest it, and then put it in your own voice to put it out into the threads. Go ahead, Miami.

I think.

Another thing too that I used to think about.

Was the way that people read it, right? And so I tried to write 4 people and I had to stop doing that.

The only reason I had to stop writing for people is because I don't know how people learn. I don't know how people understand or or take in information. So I could only write it from a perspective that I would be able to receive it. And that's like in the most simple way possible. So when writing the threads.

It's OK if you write it in the way that you understand it because like you said every there is a lot of other information out there like.

Other people probably write the same threads that I write, but it's the way that we word it. And like you said, people hear your word, they hear your voice. But it's like I hear your voice when I read the damn threads, too. Same thing with Emily. Like I'm I'm hearing her crack these jokes right in my head. And so I think that's why it's OK that we do right the way that we do, because it's not necessarily for everybody and it's not to be digested right then in that moment. Sometimes things have t

Absolutely, Emily. With what what has made your threats are authentic to you?

Um, I mean I.

I really am putting everything in my own words and it's, you know, it's definitely like my voice, my writing. I think that comes through pretty strongly when I do write, which is Nice.

And I know it's not necessarily everybody's learning style, but it seems to, it works for me, works for a lot of people. And I'm one of the people that, like, learns best through teaching. So like once I understand a concept, I know I really understand it if I can teach it to somebody else. And that's, you know, what I kind of try to do with the short form. And I also, you know, like I have a 5 year old daughter. I know just how short attention spans are, especially on, you know, Twitter, right.

90 seconds or less and that's just it kind of kind of the approach that I'm trying to take.

Altogether. And then, I don't know, sometimes it gets me in trouble. Someone ask me a question, I'll be like, ohh, you can read about it right here. I like answered it in written form. They're like, I didn't want that. I wanted like the customized essay version of my DMS. But yeah, that's.

I don't know. I think that's just kind of like a natural result of the approach that I take.

Have either of you found that, that, that condensing those thoughts into like like a readable stream, like to keep people's attention, has that have you felt like that's been a challenge?

Definitely. Like, hands down. Super challenging, especially to find something that someone is interested in, right? Like it's something I'm interested in. Isn't necessarily something everyone else is interested in. Like, I'm the nerd, so yeah, it's tricky.

Yeah, that.

And again I think because of the what I write about.

I keep that in mind a little bit more than anything.

Because I know people feel a certain type of ways about projects, right? And I always think like damn in my am I putting in the right information? Like damn did? Will this get somebody's attention or will that get somebody's attention?

One thing though would like typically, uh, yes, cheating helps in this sense, right? I, I can, I can see that each tweet is its own tweet. I started understanding that a lot more when writing threads like you have. Let's say you write a 1010 tweet thread, you have 10 opportunities to grab their their attention. So use each tweet as as that. Like you can make each tweet stand alone and be its own tweet. That was also something I caught.

Listening to some dude in another thread who had 500 million impressions in a month.

And so that was something I try and try and take with me.

That is, that is a good one. That is a good one. I feel like I learned that in some of the threads that I posted where I found that people were liking engaging in retweeting the tweet by themselves. Not necessarily the thread, but the piece of information that most it out to them. And so seeing that for for a few different ones definitely helped switch my mindset into being.

This is 240 characters for me to say something that can stand alone or that can also go in the in the sequence of what it is that I'm talking about, and that definitely helped help me organize my thoughts a little bit more.

And also gave me an opportunity to.

Like you said, make each one of those an opportunity to catch them. Whether it might be a joke or a little punch line or a thread or some shady emojis, for whatever part it might have been, you've got those. You've got however long that thread is, you've got that many opportunities to grab people. And I think that's also why with me being as a static and design based as I am, that I started to do like for I guess for Arlington purposes, covers for my threads and made them gifts and all that.

What type of stuff? Because for me when I'm spoiling the timeline my eye stops on, like when my eye catches something it stops, and if it's moving it's definitely going to make me stop.

Oh, and I.

That's another something I learned. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, boss. Um.

No, go ahead for free. For free.

I don't, man. I was in this space. I don't know. I can't remember this dude's name, but he was dropping gems.

You could make you could put a picture or a gift in every every tweet right. That's why I actually pay for type feeling like I'm I'm gonna tell you that night that little $100 that I pay man it was worth it because if I'm thinking of myself as a business and I was able to use Twitter Twitter analytics as my dashboard and like my consumer base. Ohh that was a $99 well invested. Like well invested. I I got that back probably you know just based on the engagement it was worth it for sure if I wante

It it gave me that opportunity because I was able to put a picture in every tweet and once I started doing that more I I noticed more engagement as well.

Miagi, I also know you know you, you you have your blog you have you've got your thread, you've got your hands in a in a in a lot of different places. But I also know that writing is something that's that's pretty important to you especially for this space. And so I I wanted to ask you why what do you where do you see us going forward with with writing and why are writers, writers so important to the blockchain tech space?

4th but you know I love this question, boss.

I just based on like a lot of the research that I've been doing and a lot of just what I've seen.

Everybody loves the writer. They just don't know it.

Right.

Any good NFT project that any has great marketing or great tweets, that's there's a writer behind that. Anybody with a solid white paper that people were believing in, like if you hear, oh, I read the White Paper and that got me so hooked. Well, that was a writer's job to do that, right and so.

When you look at where an FT's are going, a storytelling, you see more book NFT's popping up. There's a lot of opportunities for writers to start to showcase their talents. Also as far as a.

A historical standpoint.

None of what we're talking about on spaces gets documented. Imagine if we as writers, spent a week just going into spaces and documenting them.

Do you know how much information would probably be be able to be passed and transferred that gets missed, right? There's how many people in this space, but how many people could use this information? And so that's where I see.

Uh, Twitter is definitely collecting that. But yes.

Ohh for sure, for sure. But. But as far as like our eyes go, we're not able to see that. We're not able to use that as tangible information. So if there were more people documenting what was being heard and what they see, the history of what is happening and and the building blocks of what they will be.

Will be documented. That's really just my my favorite thing. I'm I'm a huge historian. I love journalism. And so just to think about how we're literally in the field right now, actively being journalisms in this, this revolution is pretty dope.

I love that. I fully agree. Before I I I'm a big podcast listener, or at least to say I was a big podcaster before I got into the space. And I feel like I've taken all the listings that I used to take him do in podcasts and now do them in spaces. And so I wholeheartedly agree that there's so much that is out there that if there was a way to for it to be documented, it would. It would, definitely.

They would change the game. It would, it would damn the fill up the Library of Congress. Like, goodness, there's so much that that's out there oftentimes that that we miss or that a lot of times.

Even.

In the in the scope of going through a space and just listening, going about our day, we might miss something and being able to see that in written form would be super beneficial. Would be so, so, so super beneficial.

And even.

Emily, go ahead.

Oh, sorry. Yeah. Go ahead, Emily.

Sorry, I'm like, also cooking dinner. And yeah, like, I'm a big I'm a big fan of writing books, reading articles, and something that like, I do. I don't know if everyone else does this, but like I, you know, when I take my my short breaks, when I'm working right or like, in the zone, I kind of like.

Just want to like scroll to see like read something and like I do it on, I do it everywhere, right? Like I'll do it on Reddit, I do it on news sites, I do it on Twitter, I do it on. And you know like I personally I like Twitter something like Instagram. And I remember the joke was when Instagram first came out is that Instagram for Instagram with Twitter for people that couldn't read. And but like you know, that's just kind of like how I like to can like to consume information the most and like

Value out of it when I come across it. And I like to, you know, put out what I can't find myself if I spent all the time looking into it, or, you know, I've had some experience or whatever that can help enlighten other people to something.

Awesome. Awesome. I'm gonna take a moment to reset right as we kind of wind down our space and as I wind down our space. I'm going to go ahead and take a moment to open up the mic for anyone who would like to come up if you have any questions for out for Emily or Miyagi but this is an IT presents the comments I'm boss two point O it's this thread talk. I'm talking to the winners of the 30 day thread challenge, Crypto Miyagi and Emily loves crypto.

Gonna wind down, I wanna know from the two of you is your favorite threads as you dropped last month so which has like of your own writing, which one are you might most proud of or which one?

Which one has been your favorite?

Damn, that's a tough one.

I think for me personally it would have to be the loser Club one that I did. And the only reason is because actually like really looking into Devon and you know him being a dad, a girl dad, you know, a black artist, it just kind of resonated a lot, you know, seeing what he's trying to do and build for his family and then just me having a daughter. So I think that one is probably just my, my personal favorite, just seeing.

You know, just another young, successful black man.

Emily, do you have one that's been a a favorite of yours?

Yeah, I mean I don't know I guess I like I like stuff that other people like. So I guess the engagement farming one is a winner. But you know if you if you're only going to read one thread that I wrote you should probably read and bookmark the one about how to not argue just because like that's going to help everybody be a better speaker. And and even you know for writing, making making points and just you know being an effective communicator overall, all of those things people feel when you tal

Feel like the.

Charlatan vibes that you're giving off, right? Like you may not be able to pinpoint exactly what it is, but people can detect it and it's very easy to do accidentally, especially if you're.

I don't mind like aren't trained for it, so I mean that's.

Personally, that one I found pretty valuable even for myself. So.

Guitarro said in the chat. Salute to the black girl, dad. So you got you got some girl dads out there on your side, me like.

Definitely, I I definitely, I definitely agree with that. How and how not to argue your point like.

It's it's been, it's been a learning process to me not to get in spaces and argue with people because you're laughing about my blood pressure up, but I have. I've bookmarked that one. I was one of the people who bookmarked that. And I do go back to it from time to time. If I if there is a point that I need to make just to make sure that I'm not in one of those, I think I probably use some of those a lot. A lot more than that, I would like to admit. But if I see it, I'm like, OK, now you need to

I mean it's.

You need to go back and reevaluate.

Funny, because a lot of those things are also things that you're taught to use in copywriting, right? Or to like make something appealing or like in persuasive writing. It's a very, and it's a very thin line. So, you know, it depends on what your intention is. But like, if you're trying to legitimately win an argument, yeah.

If you are interested in seeing it, I didn't toss it up there at the top should be required reading for everyone who likes to argue in spaces. So if you know that there's you, go take a look. This is the PSA for this evening.

Ohh my favorite.

My that is that. That's a tough one, and I've been running through it in my own brain.

I'm probably most proud of my quadratic funding one, but my favorite is probably the one that I won with, which with my discord one, it's it's pinned in the on the Jumbotron and Bump backed in Emily's thread on why she hates discord. What's the reason why I did that one?

Just because I.

It.

With so comprehensive and there are a lot of people who feel the same way that you do, Emily.

But I also feel like for me.

There are so many tools that I think people over overlook that can help change their experience with with discord and so.

I wanted to take a moment to share some of those and I'm like, how am I about to do this? I'm on typically also, I did pay for it as well, but there is also there's a limit to like how many pictures you can attach to a tweet. And I'm like, I'm not trying to like run people down to look at 4/4 pictures or tweet to break down the process of how to turn off these damn notifications.

And so videos are good too. But I was like let me see what I can do with a gift because if you don't have to click into it there's that's one less step and and something that's a little bit easier to you know to process. And so I was on my phone screenshotting importing them babies into a jiff maker. Like I put my heart and soul into that into that discord thread. And I think that one is that one's definitely going to be.

Favorite one of mine? Miyagi, you see your hand? Go ahead.

I got, I gotta say, just real quick. Like it annoyed me when I saw it, but it was. It was a good thread.

But yours was so good. And I was like, hmm, everybody feels like this. Let me see if I can, like, give a counterpoint.

Yeah, that's a that was the best angle.

I mean, you know me. I love a healthy debate. So.

Yeah, that was a that was a solid angle you took there. I was gonna say though, my favorite tweet, my favorite thread of yours was the ABC's of War three.

Really.

I feel like I that was slept on to be honest. That shit was slept on bro. Like and that's what I talked about the originality of the writer right. I know you. So I think that's why it hit more because I know what anaji is about. I know what you all are trying to do as far as onboarding individuals and making things simple. I know what you're doing with the the recaps of the spaces for analogy. So yeah bro that was my favorite. I'm like Ohh we're about to get away through and bosses like mine I'm

The oh, I didn't even finish that one because I was like, this ain't doing that thing. I was like about this time.

So that's what I would say.

I literally didn't do.

Good.

Yo, we're not writing for right now. We're writing for five months from now. Somebody's gonna see that later on when they first come into Web 3. And that's gonna hit for them, boss. Like, that's gonna hit for them. Because it may seem like old terms and stuff to us, but people are still coming in here, lost in the sauce.

Well I'm I would definitely have to go back and revisit it and and and finish it up because those I I did enjoy doing that. Just to you know just to share with people kind of what I see on my timeline and the people that are doing great things. But I've got this space to do that but I would love to continue to kind of push through it a few more threads.

To the to the two of you kind of asked the last question that I have and if there's anyone who have who has any questions for our for our guests who are free to request and we'll get you on the MIC.

But it's but as far as writing and as far as this thread game or the information that you are sharing on the timeline, what what's next? This is something that you want to continue with doing. Would you like to expand and do more of it? What? What's next for each of you?

As far as what's next, um.

So I kind of been.

Offer off my game because I've been in the process of a move, but once I'm done I think just getting back to the research.

Lot of stuff has been happening and I feel like people don't know about. People are distracted right now, so.

Content. Content is literally my goal, bro. I'm sorry, but this is literally my goal when I get a.

When I get settled, I just wanna just pump out just nothing but content.

Yeah, better get ready that dabbed me argue that me argue wave is coming. Let me argue wave is coming if if any, if what you're doing now and the threads you already posted or any indication who you'll get your life jackets.

Emily, what's next for you?

I mean right now I've been doing a lot of content and I don't know, just kind of like the startup key things for my app. And I've been writing, you know, sales tax and pitch tags and contracts and talking to lawyers and just kind of doing like the the hustle there. So I haven't had as much time to put stuff down. My kids like screaming, I can't think, Umm, but yeah, it's a lot of my time is spent with that right now, like as it should be. And we really want to get this product into the hands of

But.

Yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna probably start writing a lot of content for that as well and then, you know, maybe have more time soon once we get get going, get off the ground to refocus.

Very nice. Very nice.

I I'm on. I'm on keep.

I'm gonna keep on tracking. We don't keep on moving we're gonna.

Wait.

Yeah, what's next? What's next for you, boss? What's what? What you got planned?

We're definitely gonna keep on, you know, being being the Dean here at over at Onaji and continuing to write the recaps for the spaces there especially as well as I also do a discord rundown of what's kind of been going on with in the discord and with our onaji fam. I do definitely plan on fleshing out a few threads, probably tossing them on my medium blog as well, just because there's so much information.

Um, that I that you know you have to distill and edit to to make sure that you get in the point across. I would love to probably get a little bit more long form for a few of those and dive a little bit deeper into into Ethan. There are other a few other funding like quadratic style funding opportunities that are out there that definitely want to bring attention to a month to keep on posting these spaces.

Ohh and just and continue just being a being a creative in the space. I've got great ideas outside of outside of writing that I'd like to delve into that hopefully might come in for friction in the in the future, but for right now it's just been focusing on continuing to write better continuing to find the information that people need and and sharing that in whatever way that I can.

So that's definitely going to continue.

We got a speaker up.

All right, kid. Etherium, welcome. Welcome to the comments. How are you today?

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Miyagi and Emily, Claire and Foster hosting this. It's really helped me out because I'm excited for the.

Multi signature wallet. I'm going to start writing threads on that and yeah.

Thank you so much.

Very nice. That is that is good to hear and a little touch of of alpha and the thing and what's about and what's coming next here for the comments. We're going to have a kid at therium in the next in the next couple of weeks on talking about security. So hopefully by that time we'll have a thread and we can continue to kind of run down some of that as you continue to as you come in and give us some tips and tricks and and help us run down our own security processes.

And make sure that we can stay safe here in blockchain tech. So that's so awesome.

I wanna say thank you to all of our speakers. We've got Emily loves crypto and crypto miagi, thanks for the two of you for agreeing to come and visit the Commons. I hit them up last minute y'all because I had a another speaker schedule, but we had to kind of move some things around and I'm like what am I going to do? And I was in the space, in the foolproof space. I mean hockey was doing it. Emily was in there as well and I was like.

I'm like, that's it. Like, let's talk about this challenge because I always like to talk to other writers and hear about hearing about the process. So for me, to you, I definitely want to say thank you for being up making yourself available for this evening, kind of last minute. I think it's been a great conversation. There's been so much that you all have shared that I hope that we can take ourselves to help ourselves write better or even just write better tweets. Let's not be shit posters. I k

Right. Like let's be a little bit more intentional with what we put out there.

I wanna give the two of you an opportunity just to wrap us up before we call it a evening. Is there anything that you would like to share?

And just you know, thanks for thanks for hosting me. I really appreciate it. And I think it's important to put the, you know, put some more attention on people that aren't just you know, stirring the pot and trying to add value and I always appreciate anyone that's doing that themselves as well. So thank you for all your effort too.

Absolutely.

Yeah, shout out the boss. Uh.

Boss definitely was the winner.

They're pretty humble, so they're not gonna tell you that they got first place. Boss was the winner of the challenge. Guys, I don't know if anyone knew that, but Boss won our threads might. You know what I'm saying? Like we might have been cool, but Boss won. So shout out to you for a.

Stepping out of your comfort zone, I know the last few times we've been on spaces, I could see your questions were geared towards a jumping off of the Cliff, and I'm glad that you did that. I'm glad that you are finding your way because it it definitely does take time for individuals like us to find where we fit in. So I'm just glad that you're sticking that out.

And yeah, just keep doing your thing, boss. Keep doing your thing.

I appreciate that I said it. I said it was it twice.

But yes, it it, it, it is a little bit difficult for me to kind of to my own horn, but I do like to let let my work speak for itself. But there are times that I do need to learn to kind of, you know, talk much. But again thank you so much to our speakers for today. Thank you so much to the listeners in the audience to who came in to spend your hour of your Thursday evening with us, I very much appreciate it. I hope that you were entertained and you got something.

That you could use from it if you would like to. We would be back next Wednesday, that's our normal, normal space-time. But we'll be back next Wednesday with Jasmine from Jasmine Brunson from Rectify AI who is going to run us down about hackathons. So keep your eyes and ears open for some content and some media coming in relation to that. But unless we have anyone else, I'm going to say goodnight.

Thank you. So thank you so much again for joining me. You guys have an amazing night.
