Alright #NFT Marketplaces.

If you're going to sell NFTs on the primary market, please provide data to support a healthy secondary marketplace.

Some UX pointers from a heavy NFT trader.

1/ 👇
2/ Able to list art by cheapest available so I can keep track of movements.

This tells me sell walls, buy volume, popularity, etc.
3/ A sales feed.

Again, more buyer volume data, collector distribution data and growth.

I literally had to make my own site, (cryptoartpulse.com) to keep track.
4/ NFT history.

Tells me the mind of the owner and whether they're in the mood to sell or hodl.
5/ Ideally a way to message/communicate with NFT owners.

The fact I can add social accounts is great on Nifty Gateway.
6/ Graphs and visuals, (Daily buy volume, price growth),

Shoutout to @TokenTrove I love their UI for a third party Gods Unchained trading site.
7/

Data gives buyers confidence to make purchases and the effect of good data display/UX can mean a HUGE surge in secondary volume.

Healthy secondary volume means a happy investor community.

There's a reason NBA Top Shot and Nifty Gateway are crushing.
Yes, I'm a cat for today. - Matty

The Genius behind $B20.

How a ~$3.5M investment turned into a potential 9 figure power play.

Using #crypto, #blockchain and decentralized instruments to make this huge.

1/ Thread, 👇
2/ This isn't a call to buy $B20, just an observation of the story and event behind the project.

And how a 50-100x strategy can look like on a 7 figure investment.

I find it fascinating.
3/ Quick recap,

- @beeple bridges the #NFT knowledge gap by introducing a physical with every NFT purchase on @niftygateway.

- Open editions go wild, (601 x $969 = $582k)
- 21 Single editions go for ~ $2.9M

Total $3.5M, a record BY FAR. (At the time). Image

My journey from ‘pure Investor brain’ to believer in the #NFT Art movement.

Some ‘moments in time’ that changed my perspective.

1/ A thread👇
2/ I’ve been an NFT Investor for 3 years.

Virtual land, game items, collectibles have always made sense as they were ‘fixed supply’.

So how was art with uncapped supply investible?

@SuperRare graph was showing stable industry growth,

I thought I’d just jump in. Image
3/ I joined a stream with @josiebellini interviewing @ConnieDigital.

Connie dropped this track

We were all like OHHHHHHH 🔥 🔥 🔥

The first time I felt I wanted something NFT Art related.

This was the first artist NFT I ever bought!

Getting asked "How to invest in #NFT Art".

So I made a mini 3 vid YT series at the end of this thread,

I'm no 'guru' and still figuring this out so take from it what you find valuable.

1/ 👇
2/ NFT Art collecting/Investing is 2-3 years mature already.

This isn't anything new, it's just becoming more known/blowing up now.

.@SuperRare graph since Jan 2019.
3/ There are multiple ways to 'invest'.

- 1/1, (single editions)
- Multi-editions, (open editions, /10 or /3,000 in some cases, etc)
- Digital + Physical
- Crypto Tokens $B20, $WHALE, etc
- Maybe some I've missed

I'm honored a lot of artists are following me.

But I'd like to point something out.

I come from an investor background. A lot of numbers, money, trading, crypto, etc.

Many here did.

Growing Wealth and accelerating industries is what I enjoy.

1/
2/ So maybe as young artists looking for inspiration you may be turned off from my tweets.

Sales, money, profit, crypto, etc I can see how it can get dull.

Art has been a way for me to get involved investing/collecting while at the same time help grow this industry.
3/ I realize art is deep and meaningful and something I'm learning to connect with the deeper into this I go.

Fascinating really.

Just wanted to point this out because I think artists need the right role models/inspirations.

Remember the crazy guy 10 years ago who told you about #Bitcoin?

I'm that guy telling you about the #NFT art market.

Try understand/experiment with it at the very least.

There's something special here.
Yes, there's going to be plenty cash grabs and long-term worthless NFTs disguised as art.

Like influencers.

But if this is the start of an era for digital art ownership, there are some 'BTC at $10.' opportunities here.
What makes me confident is that the NFT art market was born DURING crypto winter. (2018-2019)

It was cold and dead in most of crypto land but the NFT art market was growing at a stable pace.

E.g superrare graph. In my experience slow and steady growth eventually goes parabolic. Image

Not into #NFT Art yet?

"How can an unlimited supply market with billions of gifs and images possibly be investible?"

This was my biggest hurdle till I realized this.

Thread 👇
1/ 2018. People seriously started to collect Art NFTs.

I remember the sentiment in my groups changing from broader NFT topics to everyone but me being art obsessed.

I didn't get it due to the above question.

But decided to look deeper.
2/ I'm not a traditional art collector so I had 100 questions.

What makes art valuable?

There's millions of art work in the world but why is a Picasso or Banksy worth millions?

I watched a couple doco's and it started to click.
