Lovers of art can get a little judgy sometimes. As I scroll through my Twitter feed, I sense that I could get into trouble if I confessed to being anything other than a 100% serious NFT art collector. Well… I confess to being less than 100% serious. Say hello to my little friends above… my … Read more
That may sound a little odd. Over the last few months, NFT art hasn’t exactly been a posterchild for stability. Prices have gone up and down more than most of us would like. (We like up.) This is still the wild west, even for NFT art. And I’m not suggesting 2022 won’t be without its … Read more
As an art lover, I hope the price of NFT art is dictated mainly by the quality of the work, and the history of the artist. These are big factors. But the price is influenced by other forces as well. The reputation of the collector can make a difference. Collectors with very deep pockets get … Read more
[Prices correct at the time of writing. They’ll change… but you get the idea.] A year ago, who could have imagined that pfp profile pictures or a piece of generative art would change hands for millions of dollars? Crazy talk, right?

I know…it’s kind of foolish to try making predictions about 2022. When it comes to crypto and NFTs, it’s hard enough predicting what’s going to happen next week. But still, I’m a bit of a planner. And while I can’t predict what will happen in this space overall, I can control some of my own … Read more
The photo above is of a catalog. It’s a hefty thing, of the kind you might buy after going to an art exhibition at a major gallery or museum. It’s a beautifully produced book that weighs in at more than 4 pounds, with over 250 pages. But I didn’t buy it after going through an … Read more
