Description

No. 0017 February 8, 2023 : The seventeenth issue of The Crypto Times and This May or May Not be Notable. Holy Shit, what the hell is up with all these damn checkmarks? It's safe to say your Twitter timeline is full of artists dropping a checkmark derivative OE. Pepe Checks, Warhol Checks, Rasta Checks, Moon Checks, damn, MFer's need a Reality Check. What's this all about? Jack Butcher released an OE inspired by the Twitter Verified Checkmark (um, a little late to the party, no? wasn't this verified blue checkmark hub bub like 2 months ago?) With buy and burn incentives this project took off. Initial mints of $8 are now flipping for 2.5 eth. Not too shabby. Like most OE's we don't really think this has much staying power. It's cool for now, but don't believe the hype. Especially if you minted one of the thousands of copycat derivative check OE's that were released strictly for the LOLz. MF'ers need to come up with some originality already. Think for yourselves damnit. Be original, just try... Anyway, all these knock offs have Manifold NFT's seeing record volumes. No doubt. Manifold hasn't seen this kind of movement since the PAK drop way back in '22. The numbers look nice, but it's not sustainable. You know what is sustainable? These OE's as fundraising mechanisms. It's hard to hate when you see the good that is coming out of this for the victims of the Turkey/ Syrian earthquake disaster and a lesser known project called 100 meals which is donating to food banks across the country and has now provided over 2 million meals. For once, "community" actually means something in the NFT space. Hooray. Now go mint one of those fundraising checks! . . . 1600 x 1300 pixel png file. created by Nite Owl
