Beautiful and rich country like many in Africa, but the government is inflating the currency.
Look what's happening to my friends in Nigeria 🇳🇬 right now. It's a shame!

What is the best website for artist to give collectors a 360° introduction of themselves?
Artist should be able to set up basic CV, introductory text, upload portfolio pics, link to exhibitions, interviews, articles about them etc.
GenoMorphs auction was fun and I got the two artworks I liked most from the collection.
Should I get a third one? Prices are a steal for a well designed collection and auction like this.
Which one do you like most from the three still available?

I will be mostly offline this weekend, but wanted to share this exhibition of African art in NYC I am looking at right now.

Lastly, know that I appreciate the hard work you all are doing in the Web3 space.
Apologies for not responding to some messages in a timely manner. But my team and I will recognise you and your work at some point.
This technology needs explorers and educators like you!
AP ✌️🏿
I would second that 💯
And I would add: In a market like this it is very unlikely that I or someone else will buy your artwork at much higher prices than your historic sales.
Don't be greedy, set a realistic price, collectors don't want to negotiate every buy.✌🏿
I've seen this come up recently so want to clarify (don't call me Captain Obvious!)
If you have minted work that has neither a reserve price nor a buy now price, then it is NOT for sale. In a market like this, no one is going to come knocking until you put a price on it 🙌✊

Something I've been doing lately is sending a corresponding print to friends and family who have collected 1/1 digital works via the blockchain.
Here's a 1/1 print of an old painting, "Invisible Adam", currently heading to Johannesburg to its primary collector.
I also minted an edition of "Euphoric Sorrow" by

A few important things to end this educational thread with:
1. You can add more cheap transactions to the queue, i.e. mint more artworks.
2. The pending TX will "clog" your Metamask, so don't do the cheap minting if you need to make fast TXs in the next 24h.
3. Bookmark this!
Rules:
- Each person can only participate with one of their X accounts!
- Tickets are transferrable => friends or family can win for you
- Travel expenses are NOT included
- Giveaway will last for 7 days

Step 1: Before you start minting head over to Ultrasound Money to check how busy the network is.
You will notice in the "Base Fees" chart how different the gas costs are during the day.
We want to mint when gas is cheap, but how do we do that?
What is your favourite Web3/Crypto app or website outside of NFTs?
Which problem does it solve for you?
