I know many thought this day would never happen, but I’m happy to announce that I’ve acquired my first Bored Ape! Welcome to VonMisesVault BAYC

If you want some insight into a very interesting process, I urge all of you to go walk around Christie’s or Sotheby’s right before one of their major art sales. I make a point of going as it’s not only amazing to see all the art, but also very insightful to see what prices and…
Today I’m pleased to announce that the VonMises collection has added its first Beeple 1 of 1, Trojan Pooh.
Beeple is one of, if not the most significant artist of the digital age and I’m truly honored to own this piece of history. His record breaking NFT sale at…
Perhaps this is obvious, but this will be my equivalent of a blue checkmark. An NFT verified account will likely be better than a blue checkmark, as NFT verification can't be faked.
I've been slowly adding FXhash and other tezos pieces lately, but today I really stepped up adding this SICK

@ArtOnBlockchain
what a year its been.
I gotta hand it to
@beaniemaxi
If you minted his punks comics for 0.2 eth, you have ~20x in ETH terms. The floor for the comic is sitting ~3 eth, and you also got to claim the meta hero mint pass for 0.08 eth, floor price of 2 eth today. 0.28 all in, to 5 ETH! not bad Beanie!
This is by far my favorite
@XCOPYART
edition piece. Last Selfie is considered grail level even for an edition of 10. Minted on Known Origin, 12/2018 with the caption "Was it worth it?". On display in VonMisesVault.

With a new all time high floor price happening in Squiggles today, I thought I’d share this amazing pair of consecutively minted hyper rainbows I minted. Was shocked when these two rolled off the minter!
Speaking from a lot of experience here, when ETH pumps we tend to get a lull in prices in the NFT land. this is TEMPORARY. The point I'd like to make here is that NFTs, relative to the size of the overall cryptocurrency market, is just a tiny sliver......
We often hear people say that NFTs are just getting started and when I hear that, I do always find it a bit hard to believe......But what if its true? Wow, are we in for a ride then. Coinbase NFT platform could really be a game changer.
yes, i just dropped 20 ETH (80k) on a meebit! I like to buy when the FUD is at max volume and the FUD on

Always wanted a Toadenza and finally have secured one! only 5 toadenza have the nouns glasses!
I just hit 40k followers, all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for the voice I have in the NFT community. My drama free, no nonsense, just the alpha (and chainface arena updates) seems to be working!
Days and weeks like we are seeing lately are PRIME time to make offers on High quality top tier NFTs you’ve been eyeing. The real money is made buying when sellers need liquidity. I’m very optimistic on the future of NFTs and will look to add quality here.
Thought I'd take a break from posting meebits and for this week post my favorite Art Blocks curated pieces from my vault collection. Fidenza

While we are likely not quite at the true bottom, we have clearly moved out of the capitulation phase, past the anger phase, and now squarely in the depression stage. This is possibly the most painful stage of the correction.
As you would expect in the depression stage,…

has a buyout starting at 850 ETH. this is the 8th rarest mint statistically and DRIPPING with eye appeal. This is a steal in the current market. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I minted a bunch of Akumu Dragonz. Same team that have built one of the most successful NFT projects on Solana called Boryoku Dragaonz. Sets up nicely for rewards and bonus if you own on both chains. This is

1/5 I want to talk today about something we should all take very seriously In the digital asset space. Security! You MUST use a hardware wallet to have the most basic protections this is the absolutely minimum step you should take.
I’m considering selling this pair of matching single trait punks. Only serious offers considered. Ideal for a husband/wife or any couple really. These are the only 2 single trait classic shade punks known!
Here’s my ultra simplistic, likely lacking depth and probably not very smart take…..
Yesterday, A piece of digital art, minted 2 years ago, sold for over 6 million USD.
In literally no universe is that bad for digital art and NFTs. Come on people, you really have to try…
Wanted to highlight how cool these
@artblocks_io
factory project Democracity by Generative Artworks look. the OS thumb nails just don't do these justice !
Casinos use chips to make larger dollar values small and compact. The added benefit is the disassociated effect it has on gamblers. Psychologically it’s much easier to bet a $1000 chip than 10 crisp $100s. Funny how ETH works the same way. Coincidence?
There is no v1 or v2 CryptoPunks. There are only CryptoPunks and then some bastard token using a copyrighted name and copyrighted image illegally. If you hold one of those tokens you do NOT own a CryptoPunk and you will soon have no market to trade them.
Happy 2 year birthday to

perfect spectrum minted 2 years ago today!
This person is STILL using a punk I own as his profile, he links to MY punk collection on OS and he doesn’t own TheCryptoPunk.eth as I also own it. No doubt up to no good. Please don’t let this person rip you off.
Twitter verified NFTs is a big deal, it's literal metaverse passport. An NFT as a verifiable identity in a digital world has real value and I don't think the significance of this should be under estimated. Seem that its only mobile for now, hopefully desk top soon!
This has been exactly spot on and will likely continue to be the case. Last night PEPE got added to Gemini exchange, did it rally? NOPE, yet again the rally was used as exit liquidity for the people running the game. Let me be clear to all the uninformed, the massive volume…
At the start of each pump you’re convinced that this will be the big one and financial salvation is just around the next corner.
Your feed begins to explode with euphoric tweets and the coming melt up. You’re told to ignore the fools who just don’t understand.
Who cares…
NFT trading volume up a bit, Punks and Apes off the lows, crypto market in rally mode with even the alts catching a nice bid. The signs of a bottom are growing stronger.
Not out of the woods yet, but a bit more good news and we could easily be into the disbelief phase.…
What I find most interesting about the broader crypto rally we are seeing is the lack of excitement out there currently. Barely a mention on CNBC, hardly any press coverage to be honest. Furthermore all of my real world friends who ALWAYS reach out to me near the highs haven't…
We now have established a digital asset “risk free rate”.
I don’t believe people fully understand how big a deal the recent ETH upgrade is. We can now stake and unstake eth while earning a passive yield as well as securing the network.
The pathway to large scale…
One year ago today I picked up this Zombie CryptoPunk for 9.99 eth, $2,091. Today it would sell in the 400-450 eth range ~$1.1 million. Wow... that’s some move!
Amazing to wake up to 50k followers! I'm honored to have been given such a large voice in our NFT space. Thank you to all. It was a very long grind from 40k to 50k but growing in a bear market is never easy. Keep the faith, we are in the right place.
Just so people know.. Perfect spectrum is all 256 color hues displayed exactly once, none repeating. End color is ALWAYS N-1 with N as the start color. Full spectrum is within 1% of perfect so it can either be up to 2.5 color hues short of perfect or up to you 2.5 more hues
The euphoria I’m reading around the various shit coins is more than a little troubling. I 100% know exactly zero people will listen to me, but here goes.
This won’t end well for 99.9% of you. I truly hope you all get rich, that’s good for you, good for me and good for the…
Punks on absolute FIRE! 60+ punks sold in the last 24 hours. Floor up from low 40s to nearly 60eth in a 2 weeks time. To me Punks are the BTC of NFTs! My recommendation is HIDE YO PUNKS!

for making this happen. Love the Central Park view!
My first involvement in crypto came in 2011 with a $5000 investment in BTC, everything I have in crypto to this day has flowed from that one initial investment, I've never had to add any new money.
2/6
Wishing everyone a happy new year!! It was quite a year of growth for me as I started 2021 with about 1000 followers and grew to over 38k. Thank you for the support. I'll keep dropping the alpha in 2022 as always!
As the CryptoPunk market moons to new all time highs, a floor Punk now costs 40 ETH ~ 110k, I can't help but think meebits look super attractive. Same Dev team with more potential utility. They don't have the historic aspect of punks, but also 1/18th the price!
I've decided to keep my Hurst "The Currency"
#5223
as an NFT, as I'm sure most of you would expect! To me the added liquidity, no storage issues and no risk of damage or theft just made a ton of sense. Also FEWER NFTs also means it rarer.
I have to say, when a top tier artist like
@MattKaneArtist
does a high quality generative drop on a top tier platform like
@artblocks_io
and the DA settles at 0.25 eth, I really think we've hit bottom. Markets often over react in both highs and lows. This is the lows.
There are currently 2,179 unique wallets that own a CryptoPunk. Think about that. At most 2179 people in the WORLD own a punk. 99% of people who will one day want to own a punk, literally don’t even know they exist yet.
1/7 I'd like to let people know that i've purchased 2 additional founder CryptoKitties (CKs) bringing my total founders to three . For those who don't know, Founder CKs are the first 100 CKs (numbered 1-100) that were created by dapper labs for the debut of CryptoKitties......
Although I'm still waiting of mine to mint, I wanted to comment on "100 Untitled Spaces" by
@ArtOnBlockchain
. If you're into minimalism, this drop is really for you!!! Read on to get the full picture and to better understand why this drop is special.
Pepe price target is coming into range. I’d look for a bottom somewhere in the .0000004 to .0000008 range, completing a 80-90% correction. So around 150-250 million market cap.
This has all been an extremely well organized pump and dump with both Twitter and trading bots…
in 2 day, this AMAZING spiral Fidenza will have a new home! It's currently on auction without reserve and WILL be trading on Thursday. The current floor spiral is 1100 ETH! This is one of the rarest Fidenza mints at 8/999 with INSANE eye appeal.
Normally I don't do punk knock offs, but Nounpunks combines two of my favorite project so I've decided to pick a few up. love the cc0 aspect of nouns and

I bought my first BTC on MTGOX in 2011. When MTGOX blew up, I lost zero. Even then I knew not to keep coins in an exchange hot wallet. Its a bit hard for me to understand how 10 years later anyone still does. How many more examples do you need to see before getting it done?
