Jamie Schmidt - WAGMI Women of the Week
JAMIE SCHMIDT - This week we are crazy excited to feature the brains behind one of our favorite NFT collections, You by My BFF. This collection is more than a collection - it is a movement created to level the playing field in web3. They are helping women and non-binary people advance their knowledge and opportunities in this exciting next phase of the internet. The work they are doing has been crucial to the onboarding of thousands of women into the space by providing education and equitable opportunities to jump into this new world. Plus, My BFF is taking NFT utility to the next level which will showcase itself on June 1 with the reveal of special utilities that are tied to each unique trait. Does this sound exciting? We can hardly wait!!! (Personal reveal, our team owns a few including a rare one with a microphone, we will keep you posted on this features reveal!) Jamie is a true boss that embodies WAGMI women.
Q. What was the first coin or NFT you bought? My first NFT purchase was World of Women. Before that, my family had been buying cryptocurrency for years as part of our diversified investment strategy.
Q. If you were given $1k, what coin or NFT would you be buying more of? I’d probably offer it up to someone passionate about acquiring one of our Friendship Bracelet NFTs—these are the ticket to all things BFF.
Q. Any new crypto, NFT projects, or artists you are excited about? I just love seeing this space grow and develop as a whole. I’m excited about all the innovation ahead and the art and utility that is yet to be discovered.
Q. Best piece of investing advice someone gave you OR What is a piece of advice you would like to give to others that are just starting out? Take your time. Crypto, NFTs, and token-gated communities aren’t going away. Don’t feel pressured into making quick decisions out of FOMO—the opportunity has to fit your personal needs and circumstances.
Q. Fav influencer that we should follow? I always enjoy following people parallel to where I’m at in my own journey. If you’re new to crypto, find others at the same stage so you can learn alongside one another. If you’re building your own project or community, follow builders you might resonate with. Or if you’re working to establish yourself as a thought leader, follow others to understand where your opportunities are and how you might carve out your own niche.
Q. Anything else happening with your own project that our community should know about? BFF is set out to be one of the biggest brands in web3, and we are aligning with strategic partners who will help us reach the masses. We’ll be launching a number of projects under our umbrella, including NFT collections from a variety of artists, and roadmap initiatives that ensure we’re bringing serious value to our holders and the greater community.
