Let's talk about @braindrops_art THE platform for generative AI art.

In this thread we will talk about:

* What is BrainDrops?
* How are you able to mint?
* Collectors perks
* The artists and collections
* Numbers
* AI art

🧵🧠💧

Let's start with the beginning, what is @braindrops_art, who created it, what is it all about, who were the genesis artists.

All of this you can find in a thread I did about BD in late 2021:

Some information about the mints / collections:

* Collection size between 500 - 1000
* Mint price always 0.1 $ETH
* Always a little rarity hidden in the collections
* All on their own page on OS
* Pre-mint for day 1 set holders (30 minutes)
* Full (elite) set privilege

4/40

The drops happen on the official website of BD, the last drop was LIWA, which you were able to mint here:

braindrops.cloud/projects/15

As I stated earlier day 1 set holders have a pre-mint window of 30 minutes to mint 1 piece, before the public sale happen after.

5/40

So what does a Day 1 set mean, you have to hold a piece from the following collections in your wallet:

* Genesis @ClaireSilver12 (opensea.io/collection/gen…)
* podGANs @VanArman (opensea.io/collection/pod…)
* Brain Loops (@genekogan) opensea.io/collection/bra…

FP of day 1 set:

6/40

Besides a day one set there are also two other name worthy sets:

1) A full set -> all the collections that are minted (opensea.io/category/brain…), this excludes airdrops which in this case is miniPODs

Floor price of 27.69 $ETH

7/40

2) An elite set -> all the collections (included airdrops) (opensea.io/category/brain…)

Floor price of 34.59 $ETH

8/40

So what are the perks for a full and elite set?

That is still unknown.. The team has hinted towards airdrops, rewards and so on and have made specific roles on Discord.

They are the kind of team that likes to reward the people that have trust in them and collect and hold.

9/40

Time will tell what the perks will be, the supplies will be really low. I figure these are the stats for all the sets:

1) Day 1 Set = 150-200
2) Full set = 75-100
3) Elite set = 25-40

So yeah if there will be a collection airdropped or minted just for 2) or 3)...

10/40

So that's what you need to know in order if you want to collect sets in order to get mints, airdrops, etc. Now let's focus a bit on the collections themself.

You can find all the collections here:

opensea.io/category/brain…

11/40

First I would like to get into the numbers and after that focus on the most important thing, the art itself!

Let's crunch those digits 🔢

12/40

The total volume of @braindrops_art on OpenSea is 6564 $ETH across all the collections

The ATH is 20 $ETH for a podGAN from @VanArman , second place is 13,37 for a Genesis from @ClaireSilver12

Highest floors are Claire at 11 $ETH and LIWA at 8 $ETH

13/40

The top 3 volume collections are:

* Genesis by @ClaireSilver12 1651 $ETH
* podGANs by @VanArman 1428 $ETH
* LIWA by @rainisto 851 $ETH

14/40

The total volume of 6564 $ETH doesn't even come close to the top 100 on OS which has a bottom of 21000 $ETH.

For example Squiggles have a total volume of 61000 $ETH and Fidenza of 55000 $ETH

All the collections of BD are just 10 % of each

15/40

So why does that matter? Well it matters because it shows us most people haven't found out about @braindrops_art and the art. Most collections barely have volume and some have some decent volume but nothing compared to other projects.

16/40

So to me there lies a big possibility and shows me we are still early.

There is also a cool dashboard on @DuneAnalytics made by @1kbeetlejuice which shows you a lot of cool data

dune.com/beetle/braindr…

17/40

It shows you:

* All the BrainDrop mints, their supply, average price in $ETH, market cap i $ETH
* Volume graph
* Daily volume + Average sale price

18/40

* BrainDrops Collectors, adjustable per collection, etc.
* Top sales by @Hanrgb and others

19/40

* Recent BrainDrops sales
* Monthly sales per artist

20/40

Thank you @1kbeetlejuice for creating this amazing dashboard, it's something I use a lot and I hope we continue to see it expand and grow over time.

That concludes the thread about @braindrops_art! I hope by now you understand everything you need to know about the platform and the artists that are on it.

To me 2023 will be the year of AI generative art, and as BD is the leading platform, it seems like an easy pick.

38/40

Not only this year but I feel this decade AI will get a huge role in all of our lives and things will keep evolving fast. There is always historical significance and to me that are some of the artists on this platform and also the platform itself.

39/40

As one of the, or the biggest investor in NFTs on @braindrops_art I have a lot of faith in @justintrimble and the team to bring the best art and artists to the platform.

All is grown organically without marketing and hype, which I love.
