RD Report

Quality, participation and time are powerful factors.

The story of XCOPY's 'MAX PAIN' is endlessly fascinating to me. The name and the way it hit the market (7,394 editions at $3,108 USD for nearly $23,000,000 USD in total) gave way to an inevitable decline as the market came apart. Hey, it's all in the name, right?

Except...

The artist stayed, continued creating, and continued exploring interesting mechanics (Afterburn and Guzzler evolutions and DAMAGE CONTROL).

Now, even though there is not an active burn or hype driver, 4 MAX PAIN sales average $3,148 USD in the past 24 hours. Quietly. Importantly. Art rises.

Last but not least. For the love of God, allocate your capital wisely. The >$60,000 Beeple asymmetry, coupled with a few recent Art Blocks situations don't need to happen. Ensure you know the current landscape. Message me if you need an assist.
