Closing Thoughts
The current phase of XCOPY is a marvel. Truly the darling of the art bear.
What amazes me most is the diversity of activity. It is an ecosystem with active touch points from 0.62 ETH (MAX PAIN), through 1 ETH (DAMAGE CONTROL / GRIFT SZN), through 1-5 ETH (Afterburns and Guzzlers), through 5-6 ETH (REMNANTS), through 7-8 ETH (Grifters and FRESH HELL), and damn near every single ETH between 10 - 50 when you factor in all limited editions. That’s not even mentioning his 1/1 tier and plentiful collaborations. Nothing as robust exists in cryptoart. A unicorn.
