    This is how NFTs work.

    Kid makes thread on twitter about how to make NFTs and write a smart contract. He's 12.


    Oh, fucking brilliant. Right around the same time he makes that thread, this website drops and you can mint his NFT:

    https://weirdwhalesnft.com/

    OpenSea acts like a bitch and gas is high this morning so this goes slightly unnoticed. And then around 3-4 EST today it sells out. And like magic, every single one of these NFTs that didn't sell out instantly suddenly takes off on secondary once it finally sells out. This is no exception. A wall gets built in the .1-.2s around these little whales that cost .025 to mint before gas.

    But, this is NFTs so there's fucking more to the story right? You bet.

    Twitter does it's thing and this shows up:

    Check the image and date... 4 years ago

    And there's also this:

    https://opensea.io/collection/pixel-whales

    And like magic, just like all the other avatars that released this week and struggled initially.. but magically went wild on secondary... there's a scam potentially being exposed and drama ensuing.

    Honestly I hope it's nothing. The kid is brilliant and his YouTube videos about coding are so well spoken. But this is the world of NFTs. Every single day.

    The 12 year old replied to his YouTube channel saying he released some NFTs. Yes, a bunch of adults on Twitter harassed and chased down a little boy on the internet to verify that this NFT they purchased with minimal research was legitimate.

    The floor on these weird whales is back up again this morning after almost falling back to mint prices because of grown man Twitter FUD.

    During all that I won one of the kid's NFTs in a discord which I could sell for .25 ETH this morning. This kid is brilliant.

    This is actually a good sign. Likely a bot submitting that offer. If the offers start to increase it's a good sign the actual floor or value is increasing. You want shitty WETH bids on all your stuff lol.

    A ton of avatars drops again this week but this one I have my eye on today. Appealing mint price and the artwork can resonate across a lot of demographics. Drops at 4PM EST today.

    https://www.pudgypenguins.io/#/

    And then there's this, which I will not be minting any of, but it's pretty hilarious and creative (and NSFW):

    https://kamagang.com/


    I have a few projects I'm working on getting ready to drop. If I'm feeling cute later I may share the listings on OS. First drop will be really low effort and very cheap (.01 ETH) but could be decent buy in if a few of these other projects take off. They will somehow all be connected to one other, that's all I'll say for now. Could be today, more realistically tomorrow morning.

    They just added the chickens to some discord that will tell you how rare your chicken is. Other than a chicken without eyes that is creepy this is apparently the rarest chicken out there.

    https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x8634666ba15ada4bbc83b9dbf285f73d9e46e4c2/11006/

    I managed to mint one of the literal least rare chickens. 19,959 out of 20,000 lol. Should’ve waited a little longer to click that button.

    With it being a Genesis horse I'll probably just hold if it's only netting that much.

    I'd expect gas to be nuts today with the movement in crypto and all the drops going on today.

    Stoner Cats 5PM EST - .35 to mint + gas

    NFT Community has mixed feelings on this, which tells me to BUY. People talked shit on cryptopunks, and a few TMB'ers joked at my Gary V "napkin art" and look at how that is turning out. Some big players in this veering away from Hollywood and doing their own thing. The real talent behind the show was highly involved in animating Space Jam 2, Happy Feet, Pixar... I'll gladly throw .35 at this to see what happens and to have community access to the actors/actresses already associated with this.

    Vogu - 8PM EST (earlier if you join discord, hint hint.. https://discord.gg/v6FAfrGZ)

    I'm big on these metaverse NFTs, and the artist and art on this is awesome. Only 7,777 of these to mint at .0777 each. This will likely be a gas war from the start so as always DYOR IMO IYAM. Now is the time to get familiar with the advanced gas setting in Metamask (link below). It could be possible to find a few of these below mint but I think these really take off once these metaverses become more accessible. Think NBA2K and their bullshit add-ons or avatars for World of Warcraft, then go bigger. You own that character.

    To help get familiar with advanced gas and speeding up your transaction:

    why don’t more of these drop on the matic network or something similar? the chicken derby drop was great and you avoided gas other than when converting to weth and you could do that early to avoid any gas wars. or do the gas wars drive up the demand as people are fighting to get one of the limited quantities?
