GM!GM!
As January winds down, I’ve revamped the look of this a little bit. The challenge is to keep it simple and readable while still covering an ever increasing world of NFT content and projects. I think the solution is to have the ‘beats’ updated periodically by committed journalists. The first such is the Literary Beat with Greg. I’ve created a permanent page on Vagobond where the latest of his reporting is posted with a link to it from this briefing. On days when he has a new report, it will appear here. On days when it is not fresh, the archive is available on the Vagobond website. I’ve done the same with ‘The Graveyard’, ‘Useful Info’, and any features. Hopefully the result is a more readable briefing that readers can get through quickly and then get back to their ‘Degen’ lifestyles. Don’t forget a ‘*’ in front of a link means it is a new addition here.
Hope you are all having a great weekend and a spectacular start to the Year of the Tiger.

Blue Chip & Red Chip NFTs Beat
by Vagobond
These are my personal blue chip plays. Not everyone will agree they are all blue chips. I’ve given Pixel Vault/Metahero/Punks Comic a category of its own because there is so much happening with it.
On Chain Monkeys – One of the most positive ‘do good’ projects out there.
* – https://news.onchainmonkey.com/2022/01/27/ocm-dessert-snapshot-on-feb-1-2022-what-you-need-to-know
BAYC/MAYC – $APE token.
Somewhat controversial but minted MAYC (no parents) can vax their mutant and see what it was before it was a mutant. You are unmutating it https://www.vayc.art/
Huxley – Robots have revealed and they are amazing.
10KTF – $NTD token. This is a cool and probably Beeple project. WAGMI shop will reopen today
BYO – Ships coming, game coming, token coming.
Peace Void/ Peaceful Groupies – $PEACE token, PeaceDAO, partnerships with other projects and festivals (IRL and MV). So much happening in this community right now. Super exciting.
Pixel Vault/ Punks Comic/ Metahero $PUNKS/$POW
– Origin Story #1: Courtney – 5902 origin stories – PVFD holders snapshot prior to Feb 1 claim on a 1-to-1 basis with how many FD you own. Any that go unclaimed will open up to punks comic #1 and #2 until all are sold out.
– Each planet holder will be eligible for sidekick claim. Sidekicks will be stakable. TBA
– Elite Apes Covers to be released using Metahero/Ape Token in early Feb – unique gamification of mint using a coin that has future utility. Available now on PunksComic.com and OS.
– Physical comic will release soon – logistical issues with cases and covers holding it up
Red Chips
What’s a Red Chip? These are projects I think have the potential to become blue chips.

Two Bit Bears – There is a level of genius working here that is largely overlooked.
Bloot – Bloot is being redefined. $BGLD is being unrugged.
Bulls on the Block / Bears on the Block – Very little significant movement here.
Heaven Computer – Female led, amazing art project. Godmin abides.
Satoshiverse – This feels like the slowest moving amazing project ever.

Useful Info
This is an astoundingly useful document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fhc9u20nKBSUSZnErhRmCfaiRCe8VJztbRaKPS36xQk/edit#gid=0
Rumors:
The biggest rumor is that the Coinbase NFT platform is imminent. Also worthwhile to take a look at this sheet and attempt to use all the platforms. The free airdrops last year brought some people over a hundred thousand dollars.
Airdrop:
Fee.io – – DYOR – Reportedly was live, then wasn’t. I’m watching but won’t rush in on this one.
Gas.wtf – another airdrop for those who have paid gas on Eth. No new news. DYOR.

Great Projects I’m Not In or Following:
aka projects I missed and am salty about. There are too many – see the whole list at:
https://vagobond.com/nft-101/great-nft-projects-ive-missed/
Misses of the month (so far) – Creepz, Asuna, Capsule, omgKirby, uWu,
The Graveyard
These are projects that I wanted to believe in that simply seem like they are dead. I bought into many of these instead of the winning projects above. Take that as a warning. I sincerely hope that they resurrect – but when I put them here, it means that I’ve stopped believing and looking. I hope to someday have a section at the top called ‘Resurrections’ for when projects in the Graveyard manage to rise up again. As time goes on, I have no doubt this will be the biggest section of this newsletter and I will let it keep growing so that those who care to look can understand that the majority of projects fail and investors lose money. Pick wisely, my friends, and good luck!
See the huge full list at https://vagobond.com/nft-101/nft-project-graveyard/
– $TIME, $MEMO, $wMEMO prices have left many rekt. The 100M $BSGG airdrop has not happened yet. Wonderland is down 97.5% from ath several months ago. Seems an impossible task to ever recover.
– Cat and Mouse Game – So many issues. I’m expecting more issues.
