Closing Thoughts
A big week in art closes with a bang!
I found the seamless value math on SR Passes before and after the XCOPY airdrop particularly interesting.
In a follow up to the above, I posted an X Poll asking what you would rather collect and provided 4 options centered around *recent* XCOPY activity: REMNANTS, ALGO BRO, Grifters, or a 2018/19 KnownOrigin limited edition. Since you’ve read the newsletter this far, I’ll offer my opinion here. ALGO BRO at 42 editions and XCOPY’s first on-chain work is my pick, certainly for the short/mid term. Outside of the above options (and 1/1s), I’d favor The Doomed.
A shout-out to the PROOF team for hosting me on the Digital Art Market Report yesterday. Catch up on the full episode with NFTstats, akaStevey, Eli Scheinman, and me here. The breakout topics were Yatreda, Snowpepen, XCOPY, and Matt Kane.
Brace yourself for a big Monday, as we bring in 0xBriann to co-host 48 HOURS OF ART X Spaces at 1:00pm ET. Set those reminders.
Have an inspired weekend in the meantime!
