Pintxo's - Issue #18

Welcome to another edition of the Pintxo’s Newsletter.

What to expect: 1088 words a 8-minute read.

TLDR: Failure is part of the growing process. DesLucrece and Bongdoe had crazy weeks. Des OE this week?

Creative Corner

Nothing major to report on this front this week. Hooked up my Metamask to Instagram so I can easily share my minted work on Insta to cross pollenate from Twitter. Feel free to give me a follow.

Getting some stickers created for Monster Server, Alphadoggg and myself. If you want any free stickers, just ping me on twitter and I can get some over to you.

Knowledge

I am not sure if the weather is getting to me or if it is because of the stage I am in life. But I have been reflecting more and more on why I am doing this. I went back and gave this episode of Optimize Yourself a listen. It talks about failure and it resonates with me.

Some of the projects and companies I respect build out in the open. It is what I like about Open Source projects. When you build something out in the public it is easy to criticize. But when you free yourself of the worry of failure or not being successful you in return get a continuous loop of feedback to get better and continue refining. This is what I have to remind myself. So thank you for being a part of this process with me. I hope the below snippet can help you as well.

NFT Space

It was another milestone week in the NFT space this past week. DesLucrece broke all expectations with his auctions and kick started a mini bull. Congratulations to you friend. From SuperRare taking its time to approve you to having a crazy auction week on one of the longest established auction houses. You deserve all the success you are having. Welcome to all the new owners, I am sure by now you realize a gem of community you have joined.

As mentioned in the last issue, Bongdoe has been on a tear. And this past week it culminated in an ATH sale of 6.9eth from none other than Aldover.eth. It seems in this mini bull we are having that many people are discovering Tezos and the artist that started in Tezos specifically glitch artist like uczine and now bongdoe. I thought I had more time to get my 1/1 but it appears that window is quickly closing.

Rounding out the eventful week. We had a crazy sale of some fidenzas for MutantHounds. Which in my opinion, I don’t think this will look like a great sale in long run, but Fidenzas are a grail for me, so what do I know.

lior.eth @lior_eth

Fidenza for a Mega Collar. Good trade. $106,257 biggest sale in Hounds history, less than a month since mint. Love to see it!!!!! @MutantHounds

Upcoming

Things I am looking forward to this week on the in the near future. Seattledog, seems to be cooking something up with his collection. I even saw a tweet mentioning manifold so it could be an expansion of his tezos collection. With his level of creativity, I am sure I am going to enjoy what unfolds next.

seattledog @seattledog0603

The bag collection, dropping soon...keep your eyes out! Maybe as soon as next week...

Cemhah shared a sneakpeek of a pepe/tree of life. Which hast to be one of new favorite pieces of his. For my sake, I hope it is an edition but if it ends up being a 1/1 the auction is going to be epic.
