[Interviews] with crypto Collectors / Artists

[Ahli38]

Below a series of questions, feel free to answer all or only part ...

1. When you bought your first  crypto collectibles? [What "triggered the spark"

?]
I can't remember for sure but 2017 is pretty sure I have it. so I assume since 2017 the first time I have crypto.

2. What did you love about this sector?

 [What excites you more about this kind of objects?]
I think this is revolutionary. then I don't want to miss this revolution. I believe crypto and especially bitcoin is a revolution in valuable assets worth holding on to.

3. What future do you see in this kind of collection? [Will there be an expansion based on the largest number of users who approach crypto currencies?]
I see a bright future for cryptocurrencies. Even though there are times when people leave it so the market goes down but I believe it is like the tide receding before a big wave comes (tsunami).

4. What do you think are the objects or types of objects that will have a greater interest or revaluation in the future? [Coins? Drawings? Stamps?]
everything will improve. but in the future people will be more interested in the most practical. Coin is of course in the first order. followed by pictures and then stamps

5. What advice would you give to those who are entering this sector for the first time?
My advice is only 2, namely Do not rush try to start casually full of thoroughness and research. and stay away from greed. because everything that begins with greed then loss will be waiting for him at the end of the road.

6. Can you post your collection item that you think deserves more attention? [The rarest, the purchase you dreamed of, the one you are most fond of?]
sorry I will miss this one question

7. What do you think could be the “holy grail” of collecting bitcoin/crypto objects?
Of course Money and knowledge hahaha


8. Do you think it's a hobby "for the rich" or can it be started by "penniless" collectors as well?
Hobby is more about seeking pleasure in life. Pleasure is needed to bring happiness. because we already hold money in reality, it's not money that makes us happy. then money is only used as a means of seeking pleasure. then any item or thing that is thought to bring happiness will be bought even at a crazy price. this is the passion of the collector, namely being curious and feeling happy when curiosity is satisfied. then the hobby becomes a means of gratification. so it can be started from those who have no money to the rich.

9. What do you think about the dilemma of those who buy items paid for in bitcoin rather than keep bitcoins themselves? [It is the exact opposite of what happens in classic collecting where an inflationary system favors the long-term hodler...]
skip

10. Observations / comments / ask yourself a question and give an answer.... more...

I am obviously into collectibles.. For fun because I think it’s cool..

Meme trading card NFTs have been great fun..

What I think is the coolest is owning NFTs made NOT on ETH, because Bitcoin is better to do it on, more serious, more secure, and on Doge, because it’s fast and so cheap it’s almost free, and probably more secure still than ETH..

NFTs that are not ETH tokens..
NFTs that are older than “NFT”..
Old NFTs made before it was popular or even well known..


For example, Nutildah created “ShitCoin” token on dogecoin in 2014 for fun, among others, and we just dug them out of keys recently..

Shitcoin..
Funny as hell.
Great meme..
Shitcoin on dogecoin..
A meme on a meme..

We think possibly the first meme token on a meme blockchain, lol..

“Yes, that's right: before there was Bored Apes, CryptoKitties or even Rare Pepes, there was SHITCOIN, with an issuance transaction in Dogecoin block #337,394 -- less than one year after the birth of Dogecoin!
It was created a couple of days after the initial launch of Dogeparty, a tokenization protocol for the Dogecoin blockchain.“


How cool is that?
What people think is extraordinary tech done of ETH we have been doing for YEARS!
These are very old creations, very cool..

We are currently running a Campaign (sig, twitter, YouTube) for shitcoin for fun, awareness, and distribution!

You can do many of these things for some free shitcoins, because their cool, or you can just buy some..

We are selling 100 shitcoins for 3 Doge.. (sorry the price is so high)
You can buy them on the doge blockchain in a dispenser “smart contract”, and also on the DEX on the Doge blockchain..


You don’t need ETH to have fun with this stuff..
Maybe I think it’s so cool is because I have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth for ETH, and think it’s best to do these things on Bitcoin if they are serious, and if not so serious just do them on Doge..

Check my sig..
Put one on!!



I was also a bit involved in RarePepe on bitcoin back in 15-16..
Awesome memes, so cool to play on Bitcoin like that, stuff gained in value a LOT since then too at times which is/was cool too..

Didn’t really do it to make profits, but they did..

Created some.. Collected tons.. Still have many..
Very fun..



“NFT” buying/community joining tip from me..
If you see something early and think it’s cool, and you can buy it just for fun, then buy it!
Especially from a grassroots community/group/movement.. Buy it..
Chances are if you think it’s cool then other people will too, so get into it while it’s cheap and not noticed yet..


Another great thing about these is their is no promise of big profits, it’s just for fun and some dust usually, so also not really a scammers market, while it’s early enough to be “just for fun”..


I don’t know why more people aren’t into counterparty (Bitcoin), and dogeparty..
Do you not think it’s cool that Bitcoin can do all of this?
You’re missing out..


I might come back and answer some of the Qs more specifically later..
Phone posting..




1. In 2014-15 sometime the first collectible I bought was a loaded Cas coin, I mainly wanted it for cold storage safety and to keep me from ever selling it.
Never sold it..

2. The sector I love more really is counterparty/dogeparty because I like USING BTC and doge..
You wouldn’t believe the amount of TX fees I’ve paid, lol.. I like doing stuff on chain for some reason..

3. All property/car titles, stocks, and similar will be on Bitcoin eventually..
Maybe in 2050..

4. Old original stuff is what will be the coolest as far as collectibles, to me..
My favorite coins are the first Cas coins..
I don’t care what is worth more or rarer, I like the first ones the best because they were first..

5. Do it for fun.. Probably don’t try it as a way to make profits on purpose, but go ahead and try trading it if you want..

always looking for new contributions even if you're a collector or an artist!
Now we are in a bear market, how is the collector market reacting in your opinion?

In the first post you will find the various questions.
It is available also a "telephone interview" (chat with personalized questions/transcribed by me via telegram or discord).
Ask here or in private

[bitbollo]

BUMP!

Come on guys crypto collector or artists !
its from a while that there are no new replay in this topic !
Hope to read some new post/ or maybe made some phone contact with one of you.
As always feel free to reply here or send a mp.

[nutildah]

Take your time for answers to these questions, suggest other questions to this list, Invite your friends to take part in this interview, leave a comment or a suggestion!!!

Below a series of questions, feel free to answer all or only part ...

This is an interesting initiative, and indeed there have been some good responses. Gonna answer the questions most applicable to my personal experience.

1. When you bought your first  crypto collectibles?

The first crypto collectible I ever purchased was a CryptoKitty, in 2018. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. For some reason I can't find it but I'm gonna look for it when I'm done with this. It was a Gen 0, so it might actually be worth something now, LOL.

2. What did you love about this sector?

From a collector's standpoint, there's 5 things I normally look at before making a purchase / trade:

- mint date (the older, the better)
- circulating supply (low supply is good, lower circulating supply is better)
- blockchain (BTC, DOGE = "yes", most other chains = "no")
- aesthetics (this matters to me more than most other Historical NFT collectors... I like to buy art/designs that look good)
- price (if its more than a few hundred dollars, most likely I'm out... like to buy assets that leave room for price appreciation...)

3. What future do you see in this kind of collection?

Big. As more people enter the NFT space, which they assuredly will during the next bull cycle, the older, scarcer NFTs will be the most highly sought-after, as there is a near infinite amount of new NFTs already being generated, and 99.99% of it is noise that will go to zero.

4. What do you think are the objects or types of objects that will have a greater interest or revaluation in the future?

Oh, I'll just be talking about NFTs... They take up far less storage space, yet their collectability is the same as physical items, IMO.

What advice would you give to those who are entering this sector for the first time?

Buy Historical NFTs!

6. Can you post your collection item that you think deserves more attention?

Sure, I could use this as an opportunity to shill my own creations, but let's not. Instead, I'm gonna post a picture of this bad boy, who is Adam Bomb, the flagship character of the Garbage Pail Kids series, which was initially release as physical cards in 1986.



In 2020, Topps, the company that owns the series, decided to start releasing GPK cards on the WAX blockchain. Unfortunately Topps kind of bungled it and pulled the plug on WAX NFTs after releasing a handful of series, but Adam Bomb remains instantly recognizable and its still a highly-regarded NFT.

7. What do you think could be the “holy grail” of collecting bitcoin/crypto objects?

For NFTs, there are two of them: SATOSHICARD and RAREPEPE. Both are considered to be at the forefront of the entire crypto collectibles movement and sell for multiple BTC, with RAREPEPE being the more expensive as there are fewer in supply and circulation.

8. Do you think it's a hobby "for the rich" or can it be started by "penniless" collectors as well?

Both! There's definitely a lot of rich bastards in the NFT space, but if you have an eye for good value, you can pick up steals with very, very little money. For example, I sold my first 200 GOLDENSHIBE for 15 DOGE each in November of last year, and they now sell for anywhere between 2299 DOGE and 0.4 ETH.

9. What do you think about the dilemma of those who buy items paid for in bitcoin rather than keep bitcoins themselves?

Bitcoin was born to be spent. It's a currency, after all. Without utility, its useless. By spending your bitcoin, you fulfill its purpose.

18. What do you think of NFTs? Can they be considered real collector's items or are they useful only as "proof of ownership"?

Sure, as I mentioned already there's a burgeoning movement of NFT collectors, and I strongly believe this fad will grow exponentially during the next bull market... I think its more prudent to invest in Historical NFTs as they are limited in supply. But, most importantly, do what makes you happy! It's OK to have hobbies, and its OK to spend crypto on them!

Come on guys crypto collector or artists !
its from a while that there are no new replay in this topic !

You may not get the type of commitment you seek now that the market is bearish. Remember there's a type of silence that grips the market whenever this happens. Investors go into their shells as a way of curbing their losses and licking their wounds. You will witness more activities and exuberance during a bull rally.

I think that collector and artist doesn't really care too much about the bearish period for several reasons.
There are nice items with a trivial value that deserve interest.
Item are still priced in btc and 1 btc is still 1 btc. It's during this moment that people can make the best affair...maybe collectors are not selling right now they pieces but there are discounts for several items compared some months ago.
 
As nutildah says (quoting SN) : Bitcoin was born to be spent . I can just agree with that.

You think so? You may want to do a comparative analysis of the state of minds of investors/collectors during bull and bear seasons and find out. Whether we hodl or trade, there's always that excitement that greets us when that which is in our possession begins to gain momentum, and vice versa. This is from the little that I've observed with humans.

Section collectibles is still active as the previous pumping period. I don't think this is casual, but it's related the passion that people have on this field. However some times (if not the most of times) the prices are linked directly to btc and not to USD value.
Of course there is more "excitement" during pump period and viceversa, but interest on art related bitcoin I think is not directly related to btc price, since there are several items "not loaded" hence without relation to btc fluctuation.
Feel free to take part on my interview I am searching always more opinion/idea from Crytpo Collectors / Artists

[bitbollo]

it's from a while I am not reading new interviews... fellow collectors always wanted

In a time wit high inflation and bear market crypto how do crypto collectibles react and how will they react in the coming days?  They keep stable their corresponding value in crypto / FIAT?
Will they begin to be considered a sort of safe haven for both crypto enthusiasts and collectors in general?

OP updated with all new questions!
List of interviews

[bitbollo]

BUMP!
