1/) Appropriation in NFTs and Art in General: A Thread
Crypto Punks have created a new paradigm both aesthetically and conceptually. Imitators have created tasteless cashgrab knockoffs that ape the idea without adding anything new.
But appropriation can also enhance.
The now deprecated Luna token, fueled by a potent mixture of autism and mental illness, is currently sitting at a $2,600,000,000 mcap, making it the

I started my crypto journey with a little over $100 in 2011, turned several thousand into millions in 2017, lost almost all of my money when the market crashed in 2018, and now have made back 2 million late 2020-2021.
I want financial liberation for all of you too. Lets get it.
A Solana NFT project is trying to raise $13,000,000 for shitty derivative cat NFTs
literally *three days* after raising millions for shitty bear NFTs
IF U BUY THIS YOU DESERVE TO LOSE MONEY
SHIT LIKE THIS IS LITERALLY PRINTING THE NFT BULL RUN PICO TOP
DO U WANT THAT ANON?
If an Open Sea competitor wanted to eat their lunch, all they would have to do is make a slightly cheaper platform that doesn't completely suck and airdrop a gov token to all Open Sea users with weighting based on volume of participation
people would switch so fast
I fat finger market longed $5,500,000 $TRX yesterday night by accident when I was trying to scale in.
My heart stopped for a second because It created a huge wick. Panic sold some and decided to stay mostly in because it looked like it had bottomed out.
20 IQ Shrom gmi
Crypto Punks floor is 92e
Art Blocks collections are up 100x and gen art is experiencing unprecedented price discovery and volume
Bgans are the only PFP that is an amalgamation of both
What do you think happens next?

My friend
@jimbell65
had his 26.25 Eth Punk sale flash loan exploited through the UI created by the team. His Punk was taken and he received no money.
The team paused all bidding...
A list of some of my most profitable calls here the last month and the prices I shilled at.
$BAO $.0000816 -> $.003
$DOKI $40 -> $338
$ID $.15 -> $1.22
$ZERO $.016 -> $.25
$BOTS $.25 -> $.85
$ATOM $8.93 -> $22
I will always strive to bring you guys the best, the earliest.
1/) Some alpha for all of you looking to scoop
@bganpunks
:
There is currently still a ton of pricing asymmetry on floor Calm types.
Gonna break it down here so maybe some of you who are just now getting in can scoop some rares on the cheap cheap.
1/) Why, Shroom Daddy, did you mint over 80 MoonCats?
History + scarcity.
We will see people flipping MoonCats for pennies in comparison to what they could be worth in a year, two years.
These is the second real NFT project ever released on $ETH and that alone is significant.
With Art Blocks becoming so prohibitive to collectors with a small bankroll, there is massive new opportunity opening up for creators on the low end.
Look out for small generative projects and platforms with cool ideas that are yet to be saturated capitalizing here.

12/) But what interests me far more are projects that are working actively with intent to create new meaning using the aesthetics and systems popularized by Crypto Punks.
@bganpunks
is the first project (to me) to do so in a way that is experimental and uniquely its own.
Crazy to think that when
@heaven_computer
started, the project had no marketing and no following.
The next day all 7777 sold out and now the floor is extremely thin at .75 eth. Mint price was .07...
Especially cool that the dev launched this all on her own. Congrats Godmin

On rationality and meme markets:
I sold $SHIB earlier this week for a cool 2x thinking I was slick.
It then proceeded to pump about 30x and is now listed on Binance.
never again
I'm torn on how I feel about Vitalik's actions.
Are they:
-moral due to the net good?
-moral cuz the tokens were in his rightful wallet?
-immoral because of the effect on broke normies/holders?
-immoral because Vitalik has so much money of his own to donate if he chooses?
One reason it is useful to follow a bunch of NFT crypto twitter people is that its a great barometer on how legit a project may or may not be.
See a PFP project that nobody is following and mint is happening today?
99% chance you should stay the fuck away from it
1/ To any that don't realize the $DAIQ potential here-
Let me break down why I keep shilling this and why all it needs is a tiny push to make massive early $ESD $DSD size gains.
So why is it primed to move?
18/) But to me- the writing is already on the wall.
Using our understanding of art and what drives purchasing decisions, I have no doubt that projects like Bgan Punks will achieve their own notoriety.
As a lover of art and as a price speculator, the future looks very bright.
@CryptoCobain
People look at Bgans and think "Punk derivative"
Bgans are the closest thing to Art Blocks style PFPs due to the underlying creative process and types of variance present
ie: not rote combining of parts by a cookie cutter algo like in a regular PFP project

To people in relationships that do crypto heavy:
how do u all balance being an attentive + present partner while
1) paying attention to a landscape that shifts daily
and
2) having an incredibly disjointed schedule with weird hours and moments of accountability
struggling rn
When Trosley DMed I knew this would be something special but I couldn't have predicted how fast this project would fly.

People of CT, how do you balance your relationships (both romantic and platonic) with the feeling that every moment spent trading and researching is utterly crucial?
We are constantly given small windows of opportunity for lifechanging amounts of money and fighting fomo is hard.
$LOOKS sells right now are almost exclusively individual airdrops
The narrative feels way too strong for it to not keep sending well past its old ath, soon
Also.. airdrops can only be claimed for a period of days, so eventually that sell pressure disappears, and fdv drops some
Ok I just bought a bunch of $ASS
Same mechanics as Safemoon but memey
@assfinance
If fucking Hungry Bear Finance can hit $45,000,000 mcap there is no reason this can't at least do that.
Currently $12,000,000

Ahhh plz protect me from the free money Elizabeth Warren it burns make it stop SEC chairman Gensler help plz help the financial freedom is so painful we cant allow this
Did you know that every
@bganpunks
holder will be able to claim a generative NFT?
This has actually been in the works since long before AB/generative hype set in.
When people realize that Bgans share more DNA with generative art than PFP projects... real price discovery
1) I'm so sickened to see the racist cartoons drawn by the creator of Jungle Freaks.
I don't care what time period these were made in, they are virulently hateful and harmful and there is no excuse in any context for their content.
I am severing any ties I had with the project
$ID is going to be one of those plays that pumps suddenly and violently one day without warning.
It hasn't recovered yet along with the rest of the market and this is in my opinion a great spot to be accumulating.
One good piece of news and it pops back into the .70-1.00 range
@CesarEs26231662
@RobinhoodApp
Robinhood is in the back pocket of Citadel, who had a vested interest for this to happen. There is no law that says they had to pause trading, they did so opportunistically to save themselves a ton of money and line the pockets of their allies.
Crony capitalism at its finest
To any of you who are new to the NFT game but are trying to make it here-
some of my biggest gains have been from buying and holding. Buy high-conviction plays and hold.
Buy hype plays and sell when they rip.
Know the difference between one and the other.
A botter sniped 150 from the

IMO you should just rug this collection and pay back the people who didn't bot, then rerelease.

They think you are so stupid
literally
they look at u
and they think "Wow we are just going to take a big fat shit in all of their mouths and they are going to thank us for it because that's how fucking dumb they are"
Do you want to hungrily devour their shit, anon?
Can we all collectively agree to stop being so tribalistic about our pet NFT projects and just chill the fuck out?
I got into NFTs because I
1) Got sick of shitcoining
2) Love art
3) Want to make money
These can all coincide without us slinging shit at each other.
I just got sandwhiched for 3.6 eth on a 10e buy using the
@DEXToolsApp
swap feature when I had .1% slippage..
I don't even know how this is possible but don't use their website for making swaps because clearly it is fucked
14/) .. generates messy Frankenstein amalgamations using components hand cut from Punks or created originally.
The end results of this process are many. Often messy, often interesting, sometimes borderline eyesores, but never boring.
Apparently
@mcuban
agrees too.
Going to continually bump //
@bganpunks
on my feed because they are more interesting than 90% of the uninspired generative NFT projects we've been seeing cluttering Twitter
Someday, some TikTok degenerate with a decent following will stumble upon
The $ELongD pump will be sudden and vicious
I will then ascend to the hallowed halls of the Meme Citadel
...or maybe im just coping cuz i missed $DOGE $SHIB
#CUMMIES
etc x_x
@blknoiz06
Why would anybody ever do that? They are a for-profit organization with insane amounts of money that lacked the foresight to acquire it on their own. Blows my mind
13/) The creator's DNA is clearly visible in the fabric of Bgan Punks. This isn't some more-of-the-same crypto meme circlejerk bullshit.
Bgan Punks are pure chaos.
The clean and minimal aesthetic of Punks gives way to anarchy as the creator's mad scientist AI..
