At first glance, “Shiftwork” presents a quiet, unassuming scene: a janitor cleaning beside escalators in a sterile, modern building. Yet beneath its minimalist surface lies a complex meditation on modernity, memory, and the role of the artist as a 21st-century historian. By removing noise and clutter, @GrantYun2 presents this modern environment as eerily pristine to evoke both a sense of nostalgia and detachment, hallmarks of the 21st-century digital condition. The near emptiness suggests quiet reflection or alienation. It feels like a moment of pause in a place meant for movement - an airport or transit hub - where time usually feels compressed. This work is an effort to “document observations of the everyday.” But in doing so with such care, precision, and intentionality, Grant doesn’t just reflect the world, he reinterprets it, offering a quiet, mathematical poetry that asks us to look again at the spaces we move through, and the people we often don’t see. The palette is subdued: beiges, chromes, and soft blacks, echoing the quietude of corporate and transit environments. The ceiling panels, reflections on the floor, and the composition of the escalators are rendered with geometric precision, creating a scene that is both realistic and abstract. Every element is reduced to its essence. The floor reflections and ceiling lights are flattened into geometric shapes, removing distractions and heightening the meditative stillness of the scene. The central perspective draws the viewer’s eye directly toward the janitor and the escalators, emphasizing solitude and symmetry. There’s a contemplative void created by the empty space and the absence of bustling crowds. The janitor, central to the composition, is not merely a background figure. He is the focal point: quiet, absorbed in his task, and bathed in soft light. Yun dignifies his labor, drawing attention to the human presence in environments often designed to feel impersonal. By placing the janitor in the spotlight, literally and compositionally, the image invites us to consider the overlooked: the people who maintain the environments we pass through, to consider their thoughts in such moments of solitude. There’s a quiet nobility in the act of cleaning, framed with as much care as this portrait. The setting: a hyper-clean, overlit, empty transit space, speaks to modern isolation, automation, and the liminal spaces we occupy between destinations. This piece is a masterclass in how restraint and simplicity can produce depth and provoke introspection. It asks the viewer to slow down, to notice the unnoticed, and to find meaning in the mundane.

This man is an absolute legend!🤩✨

The same guy who bought and burnt Bayc few days back just bought one Argonaut from @lphaCentauriKid for 40 ETH that's around 107k$. Crazy how much @osseneth is bullish on Argonauts. Higher Argonauts!

U understand? 0.12eth mint -> 40eth Which other collection since 2021 u saw this kind of activity

Imagine if over time the whole collection becomes animated.

It seems it’s getting hotter in here🔥 The Golden Fleece is animated now. @AdamWeitsman must me so damn glad to own🤌

It’s an interesting point. Higher rates lead to higher government deficits and higher money printing (inflation). Lower rates would help balance the budget. We want massive growth, and inflation that does not exceed it. But if you have high growth you can tolerate some inflation. The main thing to curtail is money printing that exceeds economic growth. And the main thing to max is economic growth.

The last seven days for @argonauts9999 have been impossible to ignore. A week ago, the collection was still being discussed as an impressive new release from @lphaCentauriKid. Today, it is starting to trade like something much more important. The floor has pushed to roughly 0.69 ETH, having been around 0.50–0.52 ETH only days ago. OS's latest indexed snapshot showed the seven-day floor move above 100%, with approximately 1,443 ETH of weekly volume. That is not a quiet repricing. It is a market trying to work out, in real time, what these pieces should actually be worth. And the most interesting part is that the movement has not been confined to the floor. Argonaut #5775 - one of only nine Aliens in the entire collection - sold for 25 ETH. Twenty-five ETH. That single purchase was worth roughly 50 floor Argonauts at the collection’s 0.50 ETH list price that day. It also pushed Argonauts into the wider digital-art conversation, rather than leaving it trapped inside the usual PFP trading bubble. This matters because healthy collections do not develop through floor movement alone. The floor gives a collection liquidity. The rare market gives it depth. Over the last week, Argonauts have begun to show both. Buyers are no longer treating every skeleton as an interchangeable unit. They are paying meaningful premiums for Aliens, Golds and visually distinctive pieces. A hierarchy is forming, and collectors are beginning to decide which traits deserve to sit in a completely different price bracket. That is how a collection starts becoming a real market rather than a temporary trade. There is another signal hiding beneath the headline sales. When #5775 sold for 25 ETH, Argonauts generated 158.33 ETH of volume in 24 hours while the collection list sat around 0.50 ETH. That tells us the Alien sale did not happen in isolation. There was broad activity underneath it. The floor then continued higher. At roughly 0.69 ETH, Argonauts are nearly 6× the original 0.12 ETH public mint price - and that comparison still understates what has happened at the top of the collection. A 25 ETH Alien represents more than 200× mint. Those premiums are telling us that some collectors are already separating “an Argonaut” from “the right Argonaut.” That distinction is crucial. There are plenty of collections where the floor rises because listings temporarily thin out. There are far fewer where sophisticated buyers simultaneously spend serious ETH on scarce traits, strong aesthetics and recognisable grails. Argonauts are beginning to look like the latter. None of this means the floor will travel upwards in a straight line. It won’t. After a week of this magnitude, volatility and profit-taking are inevitable. But pullbacks do not erase what the market has just demonstrated: • liquidity at the floor • four-figure ETH volume across the week • strong bidding above floor • 1–4 ETH mid-tier purchases • a 25 ETH Alien sale • growing separation between commons, rares and true grails And all of this is happening less than a month after mint. The bull case for Argonauts was never simply that the floor might rise. It was that a respected artist had created a fully onchain body of 9,999 works with genuine visual identity, intentionally scarce top-tier traits and enough cultural credibility to attract serious collectors. This week, the market began putting numbers against that thesis. Floor collectors are paying more. Rare collectors are paying much more. Grail collectors are paying prices that reset the ceiling for everybody watching. The floor can change every hour. The more important development is that Argonauts now have a visible market structure - and that structure is expanding from the bottom and the top at the same time. That is what real price discovery looks like. The voyage is barely a month old. And already, the market is starting to understand that not all Argonauts are equal. ⚓💀

Jack Butcher all over my timeline. Did you know Jack has a 1/1 collection called VV Rare? opensea.io/collection/vv-rar…

A lot of people don’t know this history. Curio Cards predates CryptoPunks. It launched in May 2017 and is one of the earliest original digital art NFT collections on Ethereum, with 30 distinct artworks created by 7 artists. It also helped establish the practice of storing IPFS hashes in smart contracts to preserve NFT artwork — at a time when ERC-721 did not even exist yet. Curio Cards was later referenced in documentation around both ERC-721 and ERC-1155. In 2026, I personally funded the preservation of all 31 Curio Cards artworks (including the later-rediscovered 17b) directly on Ethereum mainnet. My tribute to one of the earliest chapters in NFT history.

Elon has publicly criticized NFTs before because, in many cases, they’re just pointers to offchain images. Now all 10,000 BAYC are onchain.

Elon posted this today! Probably he also thinks that was a very fun period of time! BAYC is iconic!! Bring back hexagon PFP!! Let the games begin!!

Return to Monke. … but my Argonaut remains represented in my PFP. ✨🚀

generally pre-AI art NFTs are the scarcest human-made object class in existence

Bottom row looks fire!🔥
