The Power and Authenticity of the CryptoDads Community

Hey, I'm Bruce.

I'm a writer.

And I'm glad I found the CryptoDads community.

It's just my speed, with just my kind of people.

When I thought about ways I could contribute to the CryptoDads community, I settled on doing what I do best: writing.

Well, really curating.

There is already a lot happening in this burgeoning CryptoDads metaverse, and I'm sure you've recognized how challenging it can be to keep up with Discord.

So I'll do my best to help with this newsletter, curating all of the essential notes and announcements (plus some other fun stuff too).

One important note before I begin:

I'm not affiliated in any official capacity with CryptoDads or the team. I'm just a regular Dad holder who wants to contribute to the growth of the community.

Okay, let's talk CryptoDads ...

Essential Read

Ron Rivers wrote about why CryptoDads are "the future of NFTs."

Ron discloses that he's a CryptoDads investor and Dad holder, so take that for what it's worth as you read his analysis.

But he also has a wide range of community-building and ecommerce experience to draw from, so it seems unlikely he'd waste his time with an NFT project he didn't believe in strongly.

He makes two excellent points in particular about the CryptoDads community that suggest long-term success.

One is about the authenticity of the community feeling inside of the CryptoDads Discord. (This is what immediately drew me in to the project too.)

"One common theme across all of these channels was how few people were focusing on flipping their CryptoDad to make a quick profit. Instead, there were meaningful and topical conversations built on a foundation of kindness and collaboration."

Another is about the connection holders are making with their Dads, which suggests more long-term holding and less quick flipping:

Observing the CryptoDads chat makes it clear that many of the participants are focusing on finding a Dad they like instead of purely hunting for the rarest ones. CryptoDads tokens are becoming more about individual identity than money, finding a Dad that vibes with you. In all my experience building brands the most accurate determination of success is building a community with whom the work resonates deeply. What I am witnessing happening in the CryptoDads Discord daily fills me with extreme optimism for the project’s longevity.

And he goes on to discuss why the current roadmap sets CryptoDads up for long-term success in the nascent but rapidly expanding metaverse.

The possibilities surrounding CryptoDads are limitless. Those involved now are helping to build a foundation for what will be one of the most relatable, consistent brands in the metaverse.

Roadmap Review

You probably saw the exciting roadmap the founders posted in Discord.

There is so much to get excited about, including a bunch of stuff we knew already:

Exclusive holder merch coming
Influencer targeting
The Ford Raptor/Rolex giveaway
The beer partnership being finalized
The development of the CryptoMoms/CryptoTots artwork and the Lawn Mower racing game
The $CDAD token

But there were two new notes that really set The Cave aflame:

There are considerations about possibly buying land in Decentraland or developing a custom CryptoDads metaverse.
Also discussions are happening with writers from Netflix and Fox about a possible CryptoDads cartoon series. WHAT!!!??

The upside of that latter note is obviously enormous.

It really sinks when you recognize that holding a Dad means you also hold the IP rights to your Dad. So if the show goes through, any Dads featured in the show would earn royalties.

The roadmap is incredible, and a big reason why the floor on OpenSea continues to steadily rise.

Now let's round up some other important news and notes ...

News and Notes

The founders announced that bald Dads will receive speed perks in the forthcoming Lawn Mower racing game.
The CryptoDads community chose Movember for the Men's Mental Health Donation, which means $30k will be going their way. Learn more about the Movember mission here.
Once the CryptoMoms are launched, the community will be donating to a women's charity.
CryptoDads is up on rarity.tools here. You can also check your dad's rarity using the Rarity Sniper Discord. (Frankly, as Ron noted, I've found myself caring very little about this rankings.)
CryptoDads spent some time at #1 on OpenSea, above even the vaunted Bored Ape Yacht Club.
This guy caused quite the stir when he was "stuck" on OpenSea and artificially lowering the floor. It got fixed, but not before the legend of Dad 5111 was born.
The founders announced that they will be raffling off a CryptoDad at an event in Denver called "Feed the Block" this November.
@mali_eth tweeted an impressive stat: CryptoDads has more owners per item than BAYC.
@jimmyT_nfts added some animation to his Dad.

And finally, I'll highlight a Dad that really caught my eye ...

Dad Spotlight

I've been entertained by how Dad holders have branded their Dads based on famous people they resemble.

The most hilarious one so far has been this one, which @FishyTwitch has branded as Bill Clinton:

Spittin' image, if you ask me.

Do you have any suggestions for future Dad Spotlights? Hit reply on this email and let me know.

Dad Quote of the Week

Let's end with a note short note of fatherly inspiration:

“Of all the titles I’ve been privileged to have, ‘Dad’ has been always the best.” -- Ken Norton

Okay, that's it for this first edition of CryptoDads Chronicle. I hope you found it useful.

If there is a decent response, I'll look forward to doing more of these in the future.

wagmi,
