An additional 0.2424 BTC is in on secondary with list now at 0.0022 BTC (majority of mint was 0.00169 BTC).
Via Orkhan:
“History has always rewarded visionaries, risk-takers, and patrons. I am so grateful to be alive in this time, witnessing the web3 revolution and being surrounded by these incredibly open-minded and generous people who believe in my ideas, the power of artistic creativity, and machine intelligence. Sometime down the line, we will appreciate how early we were when museums, funds, and cultural institutions start adopting generative art, as the disruptive art discipline it is.”

Closing Thoughts
Another strong range of results for a Summer Tuesday.
In hot markets, strong primary results are often driven by FOMO and speed. During slower times, perseverance takes over. HolyMath by Orkhan falls into that category and is a week-long result worked hard for by both artist and team. The extra time needed to land a concept with depth can be the best thing for its collector base and the art’s longevity.
