A pseudonymous artist is quickly becoming one of the highest grossing digital artists nearly overnight.
You almost won't believe this story.

1/ About 2 weeks ago, someone reached out to me about a digital art collection that they had created.
It came via Twitter DM.
Not sure why this one caught my eye, but I was intrigued by their question.

2/ The individual told me they were a digital artist and they wanted to find a partner for launching their new collection.
They explained they wanted to launch it under a pseudonym, but were worried that no one would discover their work.

3/ Once I saw the first piece that the digital artist had created, I knew it would be a home run collection.
The artist decided to use the name @rekodi_i and would sell every piece of art for 0.01 ETH, including starting every auction at that amount too.
Democratizing access.

4/ The artist @rekodi_i promised me they would have a full collection of incredible digital art within 7 days.
I promised them that I could get people to discover their incredible work.
We partnered for the satoshi collection and dropped it on March 9th (this past Tuesday).

5/ Here is what @rekodi_i did on Day 1:
- Each piece was a 1 of 1
- Sold 10 pieces for 0.01 ETH
- One piece was resold for $10,000
- First auction piece sold for $40,000
This was an incredible start for a brand new artist.

6/ After more than $50,000 of sales in the first day, @rekodi_i had an even better second day.
The second auction piece (satoshi magma) was sold for approximately $70,000.
The art is dope, but the demand is nearly unfathomable.

7/ Digital artist @rekodi_i has a final piece from the satoshi collection up for auction and it ends tonight.
The piece is called satoshi toothpick and the current bid is at $6,436.
My guess is that the winning bid will crack $100,000.

8/ I'm fascinated by the fact that a pseudonymous person can create art and sell it to complete strangers on the internet now.
It is the ultimate free market. People either find it valuable or they don't.
The market can reward anyone and can punish everyone.
It is ruthless.

9/ The demand for @rekodi_i's work is unlike anything I've ever seen.
There are very few digital artists who have dropped collections worth 6 figures, let alone artists who do it on their first drop.
As I've been saying, @rekodi_i is going to be worth watching.

10/10 Tonight's auction ends in a few hours & will be fascinating to watch.
The satoshi toothpick piece is the final piece available in @rekodi_i's satoshi collection.
You can bid on it here: opensea.io/assets/0x495f9β¦
