In my last post I told you Wayne Gretzky’s story. We recounted his own telling of the main reason for his phenomenal success as a hockey player.
Today, we want to talk about a trait that has made Facebook so successful.
And this trait is now one of the hottest new trends in the business world. And Airdrops, ICO and even Steemit has everything to do with it.
You see, in April 2012, Facebook acquired Instagram for $1 billion in cash and shares.
Facebook is said to have spent the prior few months studying the fastest growing apps on App Annie and other external proprietary sources unavailable to most. Noticing Instagram’s rocket ship growth rate, it bought the company.
At the time, Instagram had about 30 million users and no revenue. To everyone else, including Facebook’s most powerful investors, it seemed like a foolish move.
The talk in the town then was that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was “immature” and needed more “adult supervision”.
But just a little over 3 years later in 2015, Instagram had 400 million users! In 2016 Instagram attained $2 billion in revenue and analysts from Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimated its value on a ‘stand alone’ basis at $37 billion! Mark’s “immature” move now looks like the greatest steal of all time!
Wait for it…it gets more interesting…
Continuing to study external competitor data, Mark saw the writing on the wall with SnapChat and attempted but failed to acquire them (they declined his $3 billion acquisition offer).
He then aggressively replicated SnapChat’s most popular features. Today, SnapChat is a pale shadow of its former self and trading at more than a 50% discount on its IPO price.
So what does this have to do with Airdrops, ICO and also Steemit?
Mark and Facebook are great at amassing and analyzing reams of external data and using it to make sound business decisions.
When we keep earning airdrops, and paying for ICO pre sales, you are already becoming a cryptonaire because you may have any crypto airdrop tokens or ICO you applied or invest on in 100s, 1000s and even 1000000s but like Mark, do your study and make a sound business decisions.
Can we imagine the first set of people that earned Bitcoin tokens? They will probably be the once supplying the newbies in the crypto world what they want aside the miners.
The same opportunity is here, due to the fork that occured on the blockchain between August 2017 to December 2018. Many investors have begin to look into a way of developing their own cryptos on the blockchain and for them to start, they must engage a method to test their activities this is why they give some tokens and launch an ICO program.
With the above assertions, I have come to advice my fellow steemit users to tap into these opportunities because if you earn more crypto coins you can put it on steemit to have strong SP (lol) and be on top of the community.
You can decide to exchange them for other cryptos of your choice. But you will be able to do that after those airdrop tokens have been listed on exchanges.
The perfect good news is that, I'm ready between today and tomorrow to post some Airdrops links and sure ICO links for any of my fans here. All you need to do is to comment “I need the links” then I will drop the link on the comment session for you.
