They call me Daltono's 🌟
Well, let's just say that I got really lucky the other day. I've minted a few different NFTs over the last few months. I started with Rare Ghost Club. Next, I got myself several Hive Punks (). No matter how many one mints, you never are guaranteed anything good. The randomized nature of NFTs is part of what makes the concept so addicting to many. Recently I heard that we were going to have the opportunity to mint some more NFTs on Hive. This time the project was
in partnership with
. I prepared some liquid HIVE and waited patiently for the minting process to begin over on https://www.dlux.io/nfts/.
Hive Folks were designed with the likeness of 47 fellow Hive users in mind and 1 non-Hiver. In total, the collection has 546 NFTs. Sadly I was not one of the users selected to have a design created in honor of this time, but perhaps I will be in the next batch. Holders will determine 50 new characters when the collection is expanded upon after the total trading volume surpasses 50,000 Hive.
Out of all the Hive users that inspired the Hive Folks designs, I for some reason wanted to get a NFT. I respect the man a lot and he has been putting in work for Hive. Dan is one of those people who not only talks about big things, he makes them happen. The chances were pretty slim that I would get an NFT featuring him, but I would be happy with any of them really (besides
, just kidding buddy), so I wasn't worried.
During the morning of the mint, I got busy around my apartment and missed the 10:30 am start time. Lucky for me, these bad boys didn't sell out right away and only cost about 80 HIVE. I was able to easily secure the one single mint that I planned for. I didn't go for 20+ as I did with my Hive Punks and Rare Ghosts. My lapse in memory of the mint start time allowed me to wait it out until the perfect moment. Not only was my single mint a , but it was also the Legendary Red version! I feel as though I lucked out huge.
is one of the most well-known whales on Hive. One of the founders of
. Soon to be launching
. Plus he is dropping a new P2E game on Hive called Ragnarok. This dude isn't going to be disappearing from Hive anytime soon. Check out his Community Token Talk series if you aren't already familiar.
I feel as though just maybe my thoughts put out into the ether before the mint may have helped me secure this bad boy. I didn't obsess over the idea of minting Dan, but I did at least think about it once. As often says, the Law of Attraction is real.
It will be interesting to see how the desire to collect these Hive Folks develops. It could blow up once the mint is over and people missed out on grabbing their Hive Folks. Maybe the want levels go stagnant and this becomes another useless image. Perhaps some utility will come from these Hive Folks and I'll be able to access something useful because of it. Hard to say for sure exactly what happened. I know that I plan to hold my Legendary Dan.
We already know that...
40% of the weekly trading volume of HiveFolk NFTs will be distributed to the NFT holders based on NFTs that are not listed on the marketplace to encourage holding. The trading fee will be set to 7%. Source
, if you are wanting to get your hands on this one, I'm open to a price negotiation.
