Getting some initial data from the @signalclout team for their upcoming NFT dashboards.

Looks like NFT sales peaked on the 5th of Aug at 672 clout, and yesterday it was down to 66 clout for the day.

Minting counts also seem to be falling. Discoverability is a big factor here.

We need something like https://solanart.io/, which massively was promoted on Twitter.

Two contenders currently are:

https://minted.ist/
https://niftylist.co/

What else could we do to boost activity?

Hanging out for 30 minutes in my weekly Jamclout room! If you are around and want to discuss anything drop by!

Interested in learning about what people think about NFT's and how we can improve the experience.

Proud to have bought my first NFT on Bitclout. Been seeing William create the most amazing work consistently since I got onto the network!

Have you bought an NFT yet? If yes which one? Link in the comments!

Opensea is on fire! Raising another $100m on a valuation of more than $1.5bn.

"Some NFT investors are also more hesitant to buy items on blockchains they see as less time-tested than Ethereum, worrying that newer chains may lose support over time."

Excited about this.

Spoken to a few teams who are attempting to crack this!

My hope was that someone starts to label posts as a service. The best ML researchers in the world can make a lot of money doing this long-run by selling the data to all node operators who need it.

Some suggested labels:
* NSFW
* Category: sports, political, meta
* Language

Awesome to see Karat raising a large round for their credit card for creators. It is awesome to see the creator economy growing leaps and bounds in such a short time!

Bullish for when you can use locked creator coins to extend credit. cc @BitCard

Technical traders are going to recognize this pattern. If USD breaks upward, crypto could continue to see brakes applied in the short term.

Once that move is done, crypto opportunities are going to be where you want to be.

Long term holders don't need to worry either way!

Great time speaking with @doodles about his upcoming academy. We talked about the creator economy and the opportunities that are unfolding.

Getting any venture from 0 -> 1 is extremely difficult. Incubator/accelerator programs are great for accountability and distribution.

Have transferred my long term holds to @usvault. No intention of selling these coins and will eventually start to transfer more of my holdings to this account as a security measure.

Wanted to put this out there so everyone is aware of this. I am here for the long term! 🚀

Yesterday was an epic day on Bitclout. We got social logins with fiat options to purchase. Huge steps to help with onboarding.

Many people asked about withdrawals. Personally, don't see how nodes would take on this responsibility without dedicated liquidity pools.

As long as we can send Bitclout to an exchange wallet, I do see that as sufficient. Looks like blockchain.com is in the lead to take that role.

Thoughts on withdrawals cc @tijn?
