I've discussed this before; I think worth mentioning again Lumping digital art in with PFPs and calling them all "NFTs" so people can quickly/easily dismiss an entire package and lazily move on will go down as one of the biggest blunders the art world has seen in our generation
It’s art that’s valuable, not NFTs.

for centuries, gold, real estate, and art have been held as stores of value, preserving purchasing power across economic cycles these objects benefit from large attention networks, provable scarcity, high durability, and few external dependencies same features, new networks

The quiet part they didn't say out loud? Citadel make a shit ton of money frontrunning retail trades Note: the socially acceptable name for this is "payment for order flow" If Citadel are against this then you know we're onto something big
Citadel isn't too happy about tokenized stocks taking off Writing a letter to the SEC citing concerns that tokenized equities would siphon liquidity from traditional markets Looks like we may actually have something here, to raise this kind of response from Citadel...
We don’t talk about numbers enough - but we should. Running a business is hard, and we rarely pause to celebrate the wins. So here are a few from Q2 2025: All-time highs in sales volume, purchases, and auctions settled 🤯 Digital art is cooking again 🧑🍳 And best of all: the…
I really miss those days 🤣
Back in July 2021, @KeyboardMonkey3 bought a Zombie CryptoPunk and sold it less than 48 hours later for a $1,000,000 gain. I don't think you understand how stupid things can get over and at what speed. Higher.
right on cue lol
it appears they're still going 62 Punk sales in the past 5 minutes
Friendly reminder 🤗
First crypto, then NFTs We have decorum around here, after all 🤣

I started painting everyone blue in 2020. Not because I wanted to be different But because I wanted to erase the concept of race in my world. In blue, we’re all equal. Just energy. Just presence. In my new collection PLAIN SIGHT, we darken the blue signifying the shadows that…
Maybe we should do a "never made it on SuperRare" month @clickcreateio 🤔 If you are an artist who never got the chance, please reply with a piece of your best work. At a minimum we can give the powers that be @SuperRare a list of those deserving of consideration.
Are people still getting onto @SuperRare these days? Still waiting...
It's always funny to me when people tell artists to stay out of politics. As if art hasn't always been political. Artists have long used their work to expose injustice, document war, and challenge the powers that be. Art is a reflection of the world. In times of crisis or…
This is rich. It's going to be fun when Mastercard realizes no one needs them in stablecoin txns since their core purpose in life is handled by blockchain, though that certainly won't stop them from trying to sink their tentacles into it.
