SinfulMeatStick (also known as Sinful or Sin) is a Decentraland content creator, mainly streaming on Twitch where he does his popular show called ‘Beyond The NFT’. He is also the co-founder of the group ‘Community Building Decentraland’ with Canessa.
Beginnings
In October 2021, Sinful discovered Decentraland thanks to a friend who showed him the platform in his house. One of the things that captured his attention was a concert and the usage of NFTs. After this first touch, he got back to his home and decided to connect on his own.
His first step in Decentraland would be going to the events page on Genesis Plaza. With some lag, he discovered Wondermine but wasn’t until November that he started to play it regularly between three and four days a week.
In early November, he was able to meet other players such as Stoney and Peanutbutta who told him to enable hardware acceleration on his browser to increase the performance of Decentraland. Time after, at the first Decentraland Metaverse Music Festival, he claimed his first wearable which was part of the Deadmau5 collection.
On November 12, Sinful went to an event from IZoo where he received a wearable which would be crucial to his emotional connection with the platform. Later, on a Discord call with AaronLeeup, he was given a Waifumon NFT and some explanation about the general culture of Decentraland.
On November 25, Sinful was playing poker when another creator, Tangpoko, noticed that his profile said that he was a streamer. She decided to ask him why he wasn’t streaming and he told her that he tried for two years and got unmotivated.
On December 1, Sinful made his first Livestream about Decentraland on Twitch. At that time, the popularity of Decentraland was increasing due to the ‘Facebook’ to ‘Meta’ name rebrand. On one occasion, the user Father_Fin decided to give him 100 Waifumons’ NFT(s) which he started to give away to his viewers. This behaviour led to exponential growth, which allowed him to reach 100 viewers per stream.
Between January and February 2022, Sinful progressively stopped doing giveaways when he realized that he was attracting a type of audience that was only interested in receiving NFTs instead of consuming organic content.
Beyond the NFT
In late February, the user AltCoinRadio told Sinful to make a collaboration on his land. Along with YouMack, they started to brainstorm ideas. At some point, Sinful came up with an idea where OG creators would connect with new creators on a call.
The first Beyond the NFT took place on the 28 of February with Jaxx (who took the co-host position because of Sinful’s nervousness), StoneyEye and Stoner. The episode had the video frozen and the conversation revolved around music theory and music experiences.
Sinful continued the show with Jaxx as a co-host until April when AltCoinRadio decided to leave the platform due to personal reasons. Tangpoko, who already knew him and was the co-founder of DCL BabyDolls, decided to offer him the possibility to stream on his land.
For a whole month, Sinful continued streaming with Jaxx until he decided to leave because of medical issues. After Jaxx left the show, Tangpoko decided to replace his position by being the co-host with Sinful. However, Tangpoko’s busy agenda made her not able to attend all the events. In the end, Tangpoko stepped back as a co-host and Sinful started to make the streams alone.
The first episode Sinful made with no co-host featured AaronLeupp. From here to the future, the idea of the show changed and the conversations started to focus on interviews with members of the community, where they mostly talk about their projects and their careers.
Community Building Decentraland (CBD)
Sinful always wanted to start a show with Canessa (a co-founder of DCL Baby Dolls). After multiple attempts to convince her, they started on May 25th 2022 a Twitter space called ‘Community Building Decentraland’ (a.k.a CBD) which later would turn into a community and a Discord server focused on the creation of projects inside Decentraland.
