Art appreciator & collector 💎⚡️✨ The true metaverse is inside

Grant Yun is exploding. His ascent is feeling unstoppable. I wanted to write a short thread on why I decided to buy ‘Space in the Mid Century,’ in January, which set the record ATH price for his work at the time (10.3 eth). A thread 🧵

Recent hacks across both custodians and self-custody solutions keep raising the same question: how to hold and manage your assets. The market was missing an account where you hold your own keys, with the institutional infrastructure built around them: recovery, succession, transaction policies, pre-signature screening, and a dedicated relationship manager. We built it, and we call it a Private Custody account. We believe there is no single answer for every holder, and that there should be many good ones.

Gm. Happy 5th Anniversary Fake Rares! Did you know PEPERMANENT is the first Pepe tokenized and stored fully on Bitcoin? Before inscriptions, before ordinals, before stamps etc, etc. 🐸💚

Was looking at Fidenza stats today and this setup is kind of insane. 88% of holders have held for 1+ year. The median Fidenza hasn’t moved in almost 4 years. Less than 2% of the 999 supply is currently listed. Now imagine $15M rotating into Fidenza instead of the latest Zcash cash grab. Even assuming fresh supply starts hitting the market every ~10 ETH on the way up, that kind of buying pressure could realistically push the floor from ~17.5 ETH to around 100 ETH. And the best part? Most of the new buyers would be sitting in profit instead of being down 50% while holding what is arguably the most iconic generative art collection onchain

quick reminder this $SEA announcement from @opensea was over a year and a half ago when can we expect some accountability?
$SEA is coming. Here are a few things to know: • Historical OpenSea usage, not just recent activity, will be an important ingredient • Claim process will be simple and accessible. US users welcome • We’re focused on long-term sustainability and supporting a healthy, enduring community • No details on timing yet. We’re taking the learnings from this space and getting it right As always, only trust updates from @openseafdn and @opensea

September is off to a slow start, about 17% off pace from the previous two months. Don't tell that to 'Twin Flames' and @justinaversano. 4 of his 100 Twin Portraits have changed hands in just two weeks. 3 are top-20 sales of the month (16.05 & 9 WETH, 8.88 ETH), and the 4th a trade for a Kane 'Gazer' plus XCOPY 'ICXN'. Lowest listed in the collection is now 22.22 ETH.

Trump's decision to declare war in Iran might well be the biggest unforced political mistake in a generation. Not only was it a 180-degree betrayal from a core campaign promise that got Trump elected; not only has it caused gas prices to surge at the worst possible moment politically for his party; not only is there no clear path to ending the war even through significant geopolitical concessions; not only has it critically depleted U.S. military power that was needed to hold the line against Russia in Ukraine and Europe; not only has it utterly failed to reduce Iran's nuclear capabilities; but Iran's regime was cracking under internal pressure in the weeks BEFORE Trump launched the war. He probably rallied the Iranian people around a regime that earlier this year, there was serious speculation might get overthrown and replaced with one friendlier to the West. You just can't screw up harder than Trump did here.

The people who invented AI, built it, and understand it best are basically saying (loudly) theres a reasonable chance this ends very badly for humanity, and soon! Finance bros on X are like Yeah yeah, existential risk, shut up you #%%%%. Show me the money.

True crypto culture history 🐸
HISTORY: 10 years ago today, Rare Pepes entered crypto history. On September 9, 2016, an anonymous creator known as “Mike” posted RAREPEPE, the first card of the Rare Pepe project, on the Counterparty platform. The Series 1, Card 1 “Nakamoto” card was issued in a limited supply of 300 and became an early example of tokenized digital art on Bitcoin’s ecosystem. Years before the NFT boom, Rare Pepes showed that memes, art and digital ownership could be tied to blockchain-based assets. The project eventually grew into 1,774 official cards across 36 series, becoming one of the most notable early chapters in crypto-art history.

Random thought: so many of the best things on earth, whether it's art or real estate or cars or watches, were acquired from individuals who were forced sellers in a bad market. I've seen it happen around here hundreds of times This is a good read that inadvertently highlights this point; most of humanity's most treasured collectibles have gone through the process

100% agree with this
Servant Cloak 🫡 Love seeing ACK’s Argonauts all over the timeline. It has been a while since this kind of enthusiasm for a collection has swept through the space. @lphaCentauriKid is an obsessed madman when it comes to his art. Check back in a decade. He will ascend to be one of the most important artists of our time. You may not like the word “important” but I don’t make the rules 🤷🏼. If you’re reading this, you’re early. Ack 🚀 Digital Art🚀 Can’t believe I’m saying this, but profile pic change incoming?

One of my gauges for whether the NFT market is truly back has been watching top art collections like Fidenza, XCOPY and Beeple. 🎨 As a chartist 📉📈, I pay close attention to sentiment, because sentiment is what drives both bullish and bearish runs. And right now, the Fidenza floor is telling an interesting story. The floor is still thin. There are some attractive pieces sitting near the bottom, but then prices start jumping pretty quickly. To me, that says broad NFT sentiment has not fully returned yet. But if you believe the bulls are taking control again, this may be exactly the kind of setup worth paying attention to. There are some pretty nice Fidenzas by @tylerxhobbs sitting on the floor right now, and a thin floor can move very quickly once demand comes back. NFA

truly bummed that I had to use GPT to find out how I could see ETH prices on @opensea makes no sense to me, what is so problematic about allowing an ETH/USD switcher on the collection page NFTs are the only good in world history to use crypto as a unit of account...
