Unfortunately, not everything is great news, as I tested positive for COVID and had to take some days off. I’m feeling much better today after plenty of sleep…
Here are 5 things I thought were worth sharing about generative and AI art:

5. [Interesting read] SuperRare Zack analysis from the previous bear market
I found the following analysis by SuperRare Zack (SVP at Super Rare) fascinating…
The biggest differences between building in this bear market and the last bear market from my perspective:
Expectations:
During my first year with SR the price of ETH fell from $800 to $80. While it was scary as hell as a first time bear market-er, it didn’t really affect much on SR because the few people that were here at the time didn’t care about the money. We were all just having fun supporting friends on the internet dreaming of what this could all some day be. Selling a work for $10 was exciting, let alone $100. Nobody ever talked about the crypto market or ETH prices - it was truly all about the art and the friendships. Getting back even a fraction of that magic would serve us all well.
Until next time,
- Kaloh
