When I see a big #NFT sale, (6-7 figs), this is what I look at to see if legit.

- Is the buyer/seller known?

- Is the buyer new?

- Has the project had big sales before?

- Is it a new project with a random big sale all of a sudden?

- Total users of the project,

1/ πŸ‘‡
- Was the sell price determined by a bidding process?

- Does the wallet have history

- Is the project legit/new?

- Is it a fair price looking at sales history?

Projects/community are realising, the easiest way to keep a project relevant or make new project viral is big sales.
And like I said before a whale can easily throw down $500k or $1M to get eye balls.

There generally is no problem with anon-new buyers but the above when compounded usually means some fishy business going on.

Especially when too many anons
It's also an issue if it's the same buyer(s) all the time.

A spread of whales is always healthier.

Navigating NFT Twitter Hype.

The good, the bad, the ugly.

Let's explore how whales, traders and investors influence NFT markets.

Thread 1/
2/ Not here to 'call out' or judge. Just bring trade tactics to light.

So newbies can navigate the madness.

Also, 'hype' sometimes happens naturally.

Mostly it's just the community passionately sharing progress and growth which gets accelerated due to crypto $.
3/ This pattern ALWAYS repeats. (Usually by a small % of the community).

1 - Early Investors buy,
2 - They hype/promote
3 - They sell,
4 - They take profits elsewhere,

As long as there's liquidity they can continue the operation.

Truly understand this cycleπŸ‘‡

A lot of people in @APompliano comments asking WHY Digital Art is selling for $20k+

With the recent @fewocious going for $21,350!

What can you do with it?
Why is it worth anything?
Isn't it just a picture?

Let's explore,



1/ Thread πŸ‘‡
2/ What actually sold for $21,350? Just the image?

Hmm not really.

An NFT, (Non Fungible Token), that lives on the ETH blockchain and points to this exact art piece.

This has many added benefits of 'just the png'. Image
3/

- Can be tied back to the Artist

- Sales history tracked

- Bought & Sold on the Marketlpace

- Authenticated as the 'original' piece

And basically makes 'digital art' sellable.

Just like you can buy/sell/trade cryptocurrencies on blockchain, you can do the same with NFTs.
