Kort om
- Gary Vaynerchuk, en krypto-kyndig iværksætter, har netop betalt 3.7 millioner dollars for en CryptoPunk.
- CryptoPunks er blandt de sjældneste og mest værdifulde NFT'er.
Gary Vaynerchuk – vinblogger, mediemogul, fuldendt kryptobro – har lige brugt 1,600 Ethereum on a CryptoPunk NFT. That’s about $3.7 million.
CryptoPunks er blandt de ældste og mest værdsatte NFT'er: crypto collectibles that can be bought and sold as proof of ownership for files on the internet. The images themselves are tiny, pixelated mugshots meant to be used as avatars on social media platforms. There’s only 10,000 total, and each comes with a randomized collection of traits, some rarer and more valuable than others.
Here’s the transaction on Etherscan.
Køberen var gary.veefriends.eth—an ENS domæne name that works as a shortcut to one of Gary’s wallets—and the seller was someone with the ENS domain name “grunar.eth".
Vaynerchuk viste sig at bekræfte købet i en tweet før du bekræfter med Dekryptér.
Vaynerchuk er en langvarig fan af alt, hvad krypto har. Han endda lancerede sin egen NFT-franchise: “VeeFriends.”
At tale med Dekryptér tidligere i år, Vaynerchuk said that success in the NFT space won’t be defined by quick cash grabs or splashy investments.
“For me, success [with NFTs] is only if I’m able to execute over the next several decades to build a truly meaningful,” he said. “I’m shooting for like, Scooby Doo, Smurfs, that’s big big. And I really think I can.”
Vaynerchuk’s bid of 1600 ETH for CryptoPunk #2140 marks the fourth-highest price ever paid for a CryptoPunk. The third-highest was paid just a few hours later—a whopping 2,250 ETH ($5.4 million) for CryptoPunk #5217.
Da han blev spurgt om kritik af, at han betalte for meget for pixels, fortalte Vaynerchuk Dekryptér: "Jeg har meget empati for folks nysgerrighed eller kynisme eller debat, men jeg har en utrolig tillid til dette aktiv, og jeg er sikker på, at folk sagde det samme om et Jackson Pollock-maleri på et tidspunkt."
