#NFTsummer A few weeks ago, we interviewed Xixi Huang (AW#17) in Mandarin and as the AppWorks Fellow who helps us out on the blockchain side, Xixi has a lot of ideas that are worth sharing to a bigger audience. Here's his interview in English:
西西 (Xixi) 黃士晉 is an AppWorks #17 alumni and co-founder of Rydeit. His mission is to bring the applications of blockchain to everyday life because he believes that blockchain can make the world a more fair and better place. As an AppWorks Fellow, he is responsible for guiding founders to think about blockchain and providing insights on blockchain-related investment deals. Before AppWorks, he led his previous team to build more than 10 dapps, including famous games in Taiwan such as 柚子打魚 and Shrimp.Finance. Within a month of launching these games, they had amassed over NT$ 100M (~US$ 3.5M) in transactions. His favorite pastime is traveling with his grandma, and his ultimate goal is to persuade her to buy Bitcoin!
Check out what Xixi has to say about blockchain and NFTs.
#NFTevolution
I started to learn how to write smart contracts in 2016, and learned the entire logic of ERC-20 for tokens and ERC-721 for NFTs. While I was learning about NFTs, I realized that the combination of NFTs with video games was very fitting. In video games, the treasure and equipment you collect becomes virtual assets as NFTs. And the process of using smart contracts to exchange items was very efficient on the blockchain.
At the end of 2018, I designed and created a zombie video game, integrating the concept of playing and drawing cards and packs. Within a pack were 3 NFTs with zombies on them. As a player, the more cards with zombies you collect, the higher your score, and the more tokens you can ultimately earn. From this game, I got connected to other game manufacturers and publishers who were also interested in creating virtual game assets through NFTs. We all had the same idea -- NFTs can bring more meaning and value to the players.
However at the time, many people in the market still believed that tokens and games were riddled with fraud. Since the lifecycle of video games can be short, many traditional gaming companies in the end didn’t find it worthwhile to learn how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their games.
While the nature of NFTs hasn’t changed, the market has evolved. People’s curiosities are growing, more applications are being developed, and more creators are cropping up. I think now is the right time to start talking to companies about how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their businesses or games.
#NFTplayground
I think there are many opportunities to start a business these days, and people who want to start one should think about coming to blockchain. Not only is there a huge opportunity but the possibilities are endless. And within blockchain, NFTs currently offer the biggest opportunity. However, it can also pose a new challenge to the team’s endurance, because while easy to obtain traction and users with NFTs, the challenge lies in retaining them.
Similar to other blockchain applications in the past few years, when a new concept is invented, it’ll be flushed with many early users. However, because the surrounding infrastructure wasn’t in place, it was difficult for founders to make valuable extensions or applications. And many of these users don’t actually care about these blockchain products and they are only trying to leverage the ecosystem to make a quick buck. Once they earn all that they can, they will move on to another project.
Right now working on NFTs, you can collect a lot of data in a short amount of time and also make some income to keep you afloat. Founders should seize this opportunity to understand these users, then modify and optimize both their products and mentality to retain them.
Since there’s no geographical restriction on blockchain, I would encourage founders to look beyond your country and region in expanding your NFT products. Also, since blockchain is closely related to finance, if you don’t have a good pricing strategy (or token economics) for your NFT products, the prices might fluctuate greatly. You need to be prepared and remind your users of the risks, otherwise you’ll ultimately get scolded!!
#NFTera
This year, I finally consider myself an official NFT collector. I pay special attention to NFTs with contemporary significance, such as Hashmasks. It signals to the public that NFTs are not just for collecting but that game mechanics can also be applied to interact with users. If we look back ten years from now I’m confident to say that the project that really brought the NFT wave in 2021 would be Hashmasks.
In addition to veteran projects like Hashmasks, other collections I care a lot about are related to Metaverse, such as The Sandbox. I believe that the world will become more and more decentralized and virtual. It is very likely that the next generation will be immersed in a virtual world like Ready Player One, so I am also very optimistic about NFTs in digital worlds like The Sandbox.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to NFTs. Right now, few NFTs are connected with our daily lives. For example, I bought a Hashmask. If I want to show it in my apartment, I might still need to print it out. In the future, how will we connect NFTs to the physical world? I believe they can be applied in many ways, including frames, wallets, cars, house deeds, leases, etc. These products in daily life can be combined with NFTs. We just haven’t opened our imagination yet. It’s hard to imagine that only 20 years ago we were having a hard time believing in the power of the internet.
The development of science and technology not only relies on infrastructure, but also the user's learning curve. The world needs to talk about blockchain more, so that everyone will gradually become familiar with it and it’ll continue to evolve.
If you're a founder working in blockchain or NFTs, welcome to apply to AppWorks >> https://bit.ly/3w0WyIl
估唔到上一個頁面大家嘅反應咁熱烈，因為朋友中咗招😅，做 landlord 最怕就係租霸同埋無賴。燉朋友唔抵，因為個無賴仲係自己好朋友。
另一邊廂又有一啲朋友做住客又比Landlord 為難，所以其實都幾矛盾。
現階段我兩者也是，又係Landlord，又係租客。所以理解兩者嘅感受。
現在和大家分享一下租屋嘅苦況，其實我也有遇過苦況。記得剛剛搬返出🥰Dublin,找屋🔟分困難，差不多20人睇一間屋，冇一間回覆，原因係冇足夠嘅reference, 直至最後一次聯絡到我現在嘅Landlord, 佢不是agent。咁我將個情況講比佢聽，然之後佢就租咗間屋俾我。所以我好珍惜，同埋多謝佢。
大家唔好諗做landlord 都好好做啊,我也試過租一間屋俾一啲無良嘅住客俾,比兩張相大家睇睇，因為佢唔記得把儲物屋鎖門,俾一啲人入去搗亂。最後佢都清理，因為佢驚我唔俾番啲 deposit 佢, 不過只係話比大家聽有啲住客真係好吾care。
咁你哋睇到以下有封回覆信，就係我星期一睇咗兩間屋兩間屋，他們Feedback租比我，咁我就喺呢兩間裏面揀其中一間。今次我由二月中開始找屋，咗大概兩個月時間，send 了email 去 六間屋or apartment , 有四間feedback。之前嗰兩間要求盡早入住，但係我唔急，所以我就冇選擇它。
基本上你網上找到屋，咁你send email ，最緊要註明
1.有幾多人住
2.唔養動物
3.唔食煙
4.講解你現雇主，收入來源
然之後佢覺得你適合，佢就會回覆你去睇屋，睇屋後被揀中，就會要求大概以下嘅文件，當然你都有權選擇 或者同佢溝通有咩要求囉。
1. 現任房東嘅reference letter 及另一位朋友reference letter
2. PPS no,
3. 公司信
4. Current bill
5. Passport or ID
如果大家對於找房屋有問題，私下PM我呀

Lyrics:
I think we're running out of things to say
我想我們已經沒有什麼好說的了
Come in the room and you just walk away
你走進我的房間又離開
Walk away
消失在我的視線裡
Show me you care, just pick a fight with me
讓我知道你在乎我 哪怕是和我爭吵
'Cause l'd rather try than go out quietly
因為我寧願嘗試也不願安靜的離開
Quietly
悄無聲息地
Whoever said things get better with time was a liar
時間可以治癒一切是個謊言
I'm tired and you're letting go
我在努力改變而你卻計畫著離開
We're so far away from the place that we started
我們已背離初心太遠
It feels like we're strangers in this apartment
這種感覺好像我們只是住在同一所公寓的陌生人
I don't know what changed, this was all that we wanted
我不知道是什麼改變了這一切 我們想要的僅僅是和好如初
You used to be my daydream, baby
親愛的 你曾經是我日思夜想的人
Now you're just a stranger to me
但現在你於我而言卻只是一個陌生人
Stranger to me
彼此互不相識
We leave our problems for another day
在那天我們把一切煩惱拋在腦後
'Cause I don't think we'd solve 'em anyways
因為我認為我們不會去解決
Anyways
無論怎樣
You've got a head full of issues
你的腦海裡充斥著各種麻煩
Turn away when I kiss you
當我親吻你時你躲開了
So sad to me, wasn't meant to be
這傷透了我的心 我知道這意味著什麼
Whoever said things get better with time was a liar
時間可以治癒一切是個謊言
I'm tired and you're letting go
我在努力改變而你卻計畫著離開
We're so far away from the place that we started
我們已背離初心太遠
It feels like we're strangers in this apartment
這種感覺好像我們只是住在同一所公寓的陌生人
I don't know what changed, this was all that we wanted
我不知道是什麼改變了這一切 我們想要的僅僅是和好如初
You used to be my daydream, baby
親愛的 你曾經是我日思夜想的人
Now you're just a stranger to me
但現在你於我而言卻只是一個陌生人
We're so far away from the place that we started
我們已背離初心太遠
It feels like we're strangers in this apartment
這種感覺好像我們只是住在同一所公寓的陌生人
I don't know what changed, this was all that we wanted
我不知道是什麼改變了這一切 我們想要的僅僅是和好如初
You used to be my daydream, baby
親愛的 你曾經是我日思夜想的人
Now you're just a stranger to me
但現在你於我而言卻只是一個陌生人
Stranger to me
彼此互不相識
You used to be my daydream, baby
親愛的 你曾讓我魂牽夢縈
Now you're just a stranger to me
現在卻淪為了陌生人
