I'm pretty sure that most of us can agree that compared to only a few months ago, NFTs are all the rage these days. We've come quite a far way since the minting of the first crypto kitty... And even some of those were sold for outrageous amounts. We've entered a completely new era of digitalizing just about anything, from art to music, to contracts, or all in one. The world is changing rapidly.
I've been trying to fight it for a while but eventually even someone like me will succumb to the pure pressure that is NFT. So what did I get myself into? Let's have a look!
It's not the first NFT I own. I won one some time ago in a Decentraland contest. But this is the first one I actually bought. It didn't come cheap but I know a good buy when I see one so I bit the bullet and went for it.
Without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you my beautiful Golden Bull by SuperFarm (EllioTrades).
Meet the Golden Bull!
Isn't he a beauty?
I've been a follower of EllioTrades on YouTube for a while now. He's among my top three YouTube crypto guys, and I always tend to listen very closely to what he has to say, and nine out of ten times he's spot on. So when this guy told us about his own project in the world of NFT's, you can bet your a$£ that I was listening even closer!
There was going to be an NFT sale, as well as whitelisting to buy the new SUPER tokens at bottom prices. I signed up for both. Unfortunately, I didn't get into the token sale but somehow managed to be one of the few chosen ones for an NFT.
And this was pure luck I have to say, because I didn't realize that we could bid on more than one NFT on OpenSea to improve our chances. I discovered this literally in the last 5 minutes. So with the system crashing every few seconds or so, because there were so many people trying their luck on OpenSea, it was almost a miracle I managed to get about 9 bids in, resulting in exactly the one I hoped to get: this amazing Golden Bull.
But that's not all!
People who managed to get (well, buy, because this baby set me back for 0.25 ETH) one of these NFTs, are also eligible for the SUPER airdrop which will slowly trickle in within the next few months, starting with 10% at the end of this month. Those with the uncommon NFTs like mine, were eligible for 1,500 airdropped tokens, and with a price of $1.92 at the moment of writing this, that's not bad at all for the investment I made.
Not only that, but right away after the NFTs were all sold out, people started bidding on those that were bought. The highest offer I got was more than 2 ETH.
NICE!!! Now, I have to say that I was very tempted to sell but decided I would keep it because I really like to see what this project will bring once it's launched. Meanwhile I managed to scoop up some of the SUPER tokens after the sale, for a great price, so now it will also be possible to farm more NFTs.
To me, that's a win-win-win situation. Exciting times!!!
It gets way crazier
If you thought that this is exciting, then the news that just one piece of digital art just sold for a measly $69 million just the other day. And of course, we can't forget Elon Musk's NFT song version, that sold for over $60 million.
What's happening guys? I thought we were in the middle of a crisis?!? But apparently some people still have money enough to burn.
Not here to judge. I just think all that money could be spent differently, that's all...
My new obsession
Anyway, so since I tasted my very first taste of the NFT craze, I've been looking at other NFTs, other NFT projects, etc. I just can't get enough of it!
It's not just about digital art, or songs. I believe it opens up a complete new world to many. Just when we thought the world of crypto couldn't get any more exciting, there we have it.
Thank you for reading!
