Welcome to Blast Beat.

If you’re reading this, know that it’s not too late to farm some Blast Gold. 

Nothing in the newsletter or on my Twitter account should be considered financial advice. This is my own opinion and I’m just writing about what I see out there. You are responsible for what you do with your money and crypto.

We’ll run this every day until TGE on June 26th. If it’s too long, just skip to the Action points in yellow.

Notable Numbers

Current Gold Estimate: $7 +/-

Remaining Gold Waves: 0

Jackpots Distributed: 23

Days Until TGE: 5 days

Blast Beat | June 21

The end game has arrived. These final few days could turn people into millionaires. Or maybe just thousandaires.

Either way, there’s tons of gold left to pick up, and very little time to think too deeply about HOW to get it, and the costs behind it.

Only risk what you are comfortable losing, and remember that NO ONE knows what will happen at TGE. Not even Pacman.

In Today’s edition:

• Cambria: 40,000 Gold This Weekend

• District One Strategy for Gold

• The Colony Sell out Pudgy Penguins IP Toys

• What Happens to the Jackpot?

Stay Up To Date

Today and through the weekend, be sure to read the top two daily recaps on Blast every single day:

Cambria: 40,000 Gold This Weekend

Cambria, a game resembling Runescape that has been a major boon of gold so far this campaign, is hosting one big final push for gold.

TLDR:

• Its called "GOLD RUSH” and its a testnet version of their game

• It runs from 11am ET today to 11am ET Sunday

• They are giving out 40,000 gold to participants, likely weighed on performance.

Action: This and Wolf Game are the best uses of your time this weekend, so if you’re got some spare hours make sure to log them here.

The testnet has many moving parts so be sure to join the Cambria discord for updates. You can play the testnet in question here.

District One Strategy for Gold

Alright listen, D1 is a total disaster. Like I said yesterday, they nerfed their old system (that people liked) in favor of a token launchpad.

And now we have a much better idea of how it works and how to get gold. I’m pretty sure we can earn some gold for about $1-2 risk per token with this strategy, but it’s day to day.

Caution: this is just based on what I’ve gathered so far. Be weary here as D1 has been sketchy about this whole endeavour. But know that there is 133,000 gold to give out everyday from their platform until TGE.

Action: Ok follow along here.

1. Join D1 (here’s my code).

2. Do all the tasks, including staking 0.005 ETH ($17).

3. Go to the MEME LABS tab.

4. Go to VAULTCOIN (should be in the top 3).

5. Go to “BUY $VAULTCOIN” in the top right.

6. Put in whatever ETH you’re willing to lose to buy shares.

7. When it asks you for invite code, use mine Y4MX4F

8. Wait until the token launches, and then decide if you want to keep or sell them (selling them will NOT affect your gold allocation).

9. Note: there are only 3 hours left on this token sales (launches at 630pm ET), so get in before then!

Why I think this will work:

• Vaultcoin has figured out the algo. They scooped 31.6% of Gold yesterday (June 20), amounting to 42,063 gold for their backers.

• That’s basically 2100 Gold/ETH, so $1.66 cost per gold

• The token is down 70% from launch, so participants could technically get SOME money back at and only lose $1.16 per gold sunk cost.

In these finals days, that’s not an awful bet! I’ve put in a bit of ETH, and will keep monitoring Vaultcoin as a team that may have figured this out.

The Colony Sell out Pudgy Penguins IP Toys

I completely missed this one mainly because I’m not into physical cards and watches and stuff. But maybe I should be!

Orange Cap Games is launching a Trading Card Game with the Pudgy Penguins IP, and they sold their first edition exclusively on The Colony (which has tons of gold to give out). It sold out in 10 minutes!

Action: Nothing. Just fomo.

What Happens to the Jackpot?

It feels like just yesterday that I predicted a Blast jackpot every 1.7 days. And for a week there, it was actually happening!

But now we’re in a jackpot drought, and TGE is just 5x days out with 3M+ gold to handout via the jackpot. Meaning…this will definitely roll over into Season 2, barring some mass-distribution model that comes up last minute.

Action: Hold steady on jackpot assets, despite many losing tons of value the last few days (like Pacmoon down 33% this week).

Thanks everyone for reading! Feel free to drop questions and feedback in the comments or on twitter.
