In the Social Corner we learn more about why you shouldn’t doubt Mark Zuckerberg’s approach for the Metaverse too fast.

# 1 - 🛜 The Internet Moment for Crypto 🪙

Let’s start with some History-Time today. 25 Years ago the Internet faced some big Trust-Problems, so as Crypto today.

But is Crypto today and the Internet equal in Terms of Adaption or don’t?

Most of the you, the Readers, are in their 20s and 30s, so we will see some more technological Shifts in our Lives…

That’s why looking back at the Internet Moment and trying to find similarities to Bitcoin can teach us a valuable Lesson for the Future.

Let’s talk about the famous Adaption Curve…

First there is a crazy new Technology which looks like a Hobby of some Nerds.

Then some first Adopters come in and will tell anyone at a Garden Party that this is the next big Thing.

This will push Greed…

Then all the Scamers come in and violating the Trust of this new Tech in Public. After the Scamers wiped out all the Shit, the Government comes in and brings some legislation for the new Tech. (The Point there Bitcoin is right now if you ask me 💩)

Then the Trust in Public comes back and serious Businesses adapt the Tech. The first big Bubble starts… (that happed in the 2000s with the Internet 🔥)

After the first big Bubble bursts, the true Adaption starts slowly. (that’s the samevMoment, back than all of our Parents joined Facebook 😅)

Because we all know the success Story of the Internet, the following Video is a great History-Lesson in Adaption of new Technology.

Enjoy… (only 5 Mins)

Also a great short Watch. Back than Bill Gates explained the Internet to famous David Letterman himself. (Fun Domi Fact - I visited a late Letterman Show in 2014, I defo feel old now 😅)

# 2 - 🦺 Domi’s „Building in Public“: 🚀 The First Stats 👨‍💻

Welcome to my Public Building Section. This is where you can sit next to me in the first Coach of the Rollercoaster and learn with me together…

TikTok is bombarding you with crazy Analytics if you in Creator-Mode. This is really deep down Stuff.

Let’s see what happed to my first Post on China’s big Social Media Platform. I also posted the Short in YT, but it only had 24 Views there, so I skip that Part for Today.

Here are the final Stats after more than a Week live:

  1. Overall Stats

I think for the first Post 881 Views and 6 new Followers is good. And it’s even crazy that my Short was already played for 38 Mins straight.

  1. Views (When) & Engagement

     

Of course most of the Views came in the first two Days. So longtime Engagement (Viral Loop) is as we all know, hard to achieve.

  1. Retention along Playtime

This Graph shows along the complete Short, when someone is leaving the Video. Shows again how important the first Seconds are.

Learning: Nail the first Seconds with Value & the right Start.

  1. Age Groups

Nothing surprising here. Maybe just that there are even 55+ Agers watching Shorts. 🙃

  1. Locations of the Viewers

I don’t know if TikTok automatically puts your Stuff into your own bigger Area, but at least I got views from all over Europe. Perfect Market for an “european” Business Newsletter. 🇪🇺

Conclusion

I think it was a good first Try which shows downside Potential, but also some upside.

Getting in external Links (to my Newsletter) is really hard to do on Short-Platforms. I definitely have to find a smart Workaround which is easy for the Viewers.

At least Targeting is not a Problem. I think with the right Edge it’s easy to get in front of the right People here.

I still have not decided which of the Channels I should go for a focused long Run. (Twitter, TikTok etc.) But this is bringing in some important Learnings.

So stay tuned till the next Issue.

#Twitter-Box: 👓 Why Everyone is wrong about the Metaverse 🌍

This is the Bitcoin Issue of 2024. We saw a lot of Hypes in the last Years int this Area, but there is maybe one Thing you should give a second Chance.

Milk Road (Crypto Newsletter) Founder Shaan Puri thinks a bit different of the Metaverse than the Rest of us. Because most People think that Mark Zuckerberg did a bad Bet on the Metaverse.

You think that might too.

So here a really good Prediction why Mark is maybe right (again)… 💶

I like Stuff like this. Of course Shaan don’t have to be right. And he is very open about, that he was Sometimes wrong in the Past. At least I am curious how this Thread will come out in some Years to come…
