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!
