I have a token I created on XCP back in 2014.
-cut-
So let me get this straight, you made those tokens back in 2014 but didn't do anything with them after that, no marketing or sales.
Like in comparison i would create erc20 token now, and wouldn't touch it until 9 years passes?
And now you decided to list them and people are buying in just because of the NFT hype or what? Did you market them?
Anyway sounds like these "historians" didn't see any value in it, if that would be their only selling point. There are ton of old died off nfts out there that no one cares just because they are old. Just be glad you can get rid of yours.
But now i need to check my old privatekey/password list if i have made tokens in XCP network because i don't even recall.
Don't really mean to speak on his behalf but the idea was you buy a token and then redeem it at some point for a miner, I believe. Only a handful of them were sent for that purpose back then so he retained most of them.
The hype came about because a certain NFT Histoooorian announced the "rediscovery" of the "first token redeemable for a physical item" a couple months prior to SEBUH's sale launch, which was redeemable for a Bitcoin logo keychain. However, the issuance of SEBUH predates that token, along with another token redeemable for a book.
Here is the block explorer entry for SEBUH:
https://xchain.io/asset/SEBUHIf you flip to the Issuances tab you can see the original issuance date was June 10th, 2014, which makes it prehistoric in the world of Historical NFTs. It predates my own first token created on Counterparty, which came toward the end of that month, and doesn't have nearly as cool a backstory.
Also, if you create your own ERC20 token now, it wouldn't matter in 9 years as there have already been hundreds of thousands of tokens made on Ethereum.
Historical NFTs are cool and probably more investment-worthy b/c they were made
before it was cool to make tokens. The era goes all the way back to the first Namecoin assets created in 2011 and ends in 2017 or 2018, depending on who you're talking to. Think of it as old baseball cards vs. new baseball cards: which are generally more appealing to serious collectors?
Also yes if you have a counterwallet, fire it up and see what you have in there, then let me know first, heh.
