Been a minute since I could find the time to post on PeakD; and I really intend to put HIVE on the much shorter priority list I'll have after this month. Anyway, for those of you who enjoy my random-ass content, I'm excited to share some exciting updates from my corner of the rabbit hole. ❤
Of them all, this is the most relevant, so will be first. I was approaced by Hiro to assist with the upcoming event to promote HIVE Tips; a browser extension to add tipping functions (in $HIVE ofc) to twitter, gmail, youtube and hopefully more platforms soon <3 you can find the extension here~
One that I'm likely most excited for; I was recently ordained as a priest in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster 🤗 As such, I have all the qualifications of any other priest, and will soon be offering wedding officiation and a dedicated venue in several NFT-powered VR worlds; complete with tokenized versions of the official marraige certificates and artist renditions of wedding 'photos' that will also be immortalized on the blockchain.
- If you're a fellow NFT addict; you'll be aware of the madness that ensues during well-promoted collectibles drops on WAX; GPK sold out of the Flash Gordon 40th anniversary set in 19 seconds | A collectibles series which is heavily inspired by GPK, called CryptoTwerpz, will be releasing fairly soon, and I'm one of the 18 artists chosen to create the cards. My card has gotten great feedback in the private discussion for the team/artists; and will have a 1:1 exclusive variant released on ETH once the WAX card is revealed. Of the remaining choices when deciding which celebrity or iconic crypto figure I would be satirizing, I went with Tom Brady. I'll simply say that, as a Bills fan, I'm not exactly keen of Brady or his shitty sportsmanship. "Cry-Baby Brady / "Tantrum Tom" is a very accurate reflection of my opinion, and I'm incredibly excited to share it with the world.
Nifty Pride will be co-hosting and event in Cryptovoxels with the Marma J. Foundation on Sept 14th. We'll be displaying a number of very talented LGBTQ+ artists, I'm trying to arrange some live music, and there will be an incredibly special surprise that I can't reveal very much about. As an added bonus, it's highly likely that we'll be introducing a traditional artist to the exciting world of cryptoart as her first foray into blockchain!
Lastly (for now) I'm planning an art NFT release on WAX, hopefully I can plan it well, drive some FOMO and sell all of the work I've been tokenizing. (but not releasing until the tbd date of the drop ^.^) I'm aiming for late october; and will be releasing, ideally, 20 single edition artworks, all at once, and all with a set price of [TBD] WAXP.
As a somewhat unrelated note; if you're thinking about jumping on the DeFi train to get rich quick or go broke trying, let me offer an alternative (not financial advice) $GOOSE, a token I issued a couple of months ago and haven't promoted very widely, is issued against a bonding curve and consequently backed by Ethereum. Why is this DeFi related you ask? Well, here's the simple explanation. Thanks to the mechanics of the bonding curve contract, every purchase of $GOOSE increases the price-per-token. $GOOSE can be used on OpenSea in my multiple NFT storefronts, as well as offering the option to sell it back to the bonding curve at 50% of the current price to recieve ETH. While you may be thinking 50% isn't a desirable outcome; it very well could be. As stated, every purchase raises the price. So, say you spend $20 worth of ETH and get 5000 $GOOSE; the price raises and the next person to spend $20 of ETH would get 4000 $GOOSE. Over what could be a very short time, your $20 investment could increase in value exponentially. As an example, when the token was initially issued, I was approaced by the platforms founder for some graphic design work. I requested that he pay the agreed price as an equivalent value of $GOOSE. I had only put a couple of dollars into the collateral pool prior to his purchase of enough tokens to pay me for the work, and when he did, my small input increased in value by 800%, and based on the price of the token at the time, he was able to pay for the work, and still HODL a notable portion of his purchased tokens. The potential for ROI, especially when considering the option to use your $GOOSE to buy my art that regularly gets sold on secondary markets at higher prices.
