1. Stoked to announce that Red Lite District is being auctioned @Sothebys!

Here's the turbulent tale of RLD came to be 👇
2. First, here's the auction:

sothebys.com/en/buy/auction…
3. I drew and minted RLD in February 2022. It was supposed to be kind of like an alternate Valentine's Day piece. The loner with no significant other who must scour the RLD in search of companionship.

I generated these on MidJourney for fun:
4. It was originally meant to be a 1/1, but I liked how it came out and wanted to test @manifoldxyz - so I decided to make it an edition of 210, priced at 0.069ETH each.

Believe it or not, it didn't sell out. A lot of allowlists didn't buy, and I gave some away to fam/friends.
5. A few weeks later I randomly doodled the below GIF. I never intended release it because I didn't think it was a strong piece but my brother-in-law convinced otherwise.

I didn't wanna sell it for money, so I just randomly decided to airdrop it to RLD holders.
6. The reception was not something I expected, people seemed to quite like it and a community started to form around RLD.

So I did what any irrational person would do, I set up a Discord channel for it and promised a new airdrop every month until I died.

The next airdrop (pd3):
7. Since then RLD has truly formed into an amazing community. We have some very smart minds comprising artists, collectors, traders, hedge-fund managers and your every-day degen!

I'm grateful to have made some of my amazing internet (and IRL) friends through RLD!
8. I am projected to live until the age of 130 which equates to 97 years of monthly airdrops (or 1164 more pieces).

Note that this is just an estimate and I could die at any moment.

As part of this sale, I've decided to include "Season 1" of the airdrops, here they are below👇
9. FUCK CASH GRABS
10. professional degen 3
11. The Rekt Show
12. cruising
13. UPEROL SPRITZ
14. Send It!
15. Radio City
16. The Penrose Hotel
17. Insomnia
18. LAST ORDERS

1. Here's why NFT projects are failing, and how you can avoid getting rekt 👇
2. OVERPROMISING AND UNDERDELIVERING 👇

Tbh it's not much more complicated than that. Big roadmaps telling you about how they are gonna take over the world. P2E game, fashion brand, tech innovator...etc etc.

Reality is there are billions of these ideas, 1% will succeed.
3. VC RAISES AT LOFTY VALUATIONS 👇

When you raise money from investors, they expect you to return value to them, NOT the NFT holders.

That's why you get charged for products, charged for conferences and dumped on with more supply.

Stop marrying your bags and open your eyes.
