BIOLOGICAL COLLECTIBLE | REBIRTH by Beeple

RD Report

Today's headline is a good reminder of the fluidity of what is often perceived as stable.

One fresh wallet with conviction makes quite a difference. Now imagine five. Now ten.

You may choose to look at the future through an artist specific lens, or possibly that of curatorial brands and galleries. Either way, it is clear that there will be attractive future destinations not currently perceived as sexy.

I have my own ideas and while I like to share many of them with you in this very section, I think today's takeaway is important: think for yourself.

Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of 4 ETH+ Collection, 0.4 ETH+ 1/1, 0.8 ETH+ 1/1/X, and 0.4 ETH+ Edition

Catch Up: The DAM Show!

Yesterday Sarah Zucker joined The DAM Show for a spirited, wide ranging discussion.

She reflected on 6+ years of blockchain, a Jeopardy! championship, and a series of professional paradoxes many can relate to.
