Wikipedia says NFTs are not art ๐ญ๐ญ JK we don't care๐
Fees.wtf, WTF? Women projects, assemble! ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ฆน๐ผโโ๏ธ
Dear NFTimer,
Not all art is NFTs; not every NFT is art. NFT is a black box, a tool, a medium. You get to decide what to put in that box, and the sky is the limit. Oh wait, let me say that again. Your imagination is the limit. NFTs can represent pictures, videos, generative artworks, but also tickets, memberships, physical items, and so much more. NFT is the medium, you are the creator. LFG๐
It was a great week for women pfp projects. World of Women is all the way up to 8 ETH after they announced that they are working with Guy Oseary. Crypto Chicks saw more volume than ever and tripled its floor price. Sad Girls Bar and Fatales are finally seeing some overdue attention. Boss Beauties are almost at 1 ETH. My personal opinion, but I think Sad Girls Bar, Fatales, and Crypto Chicks have way cooler artworks than Boss Beauties, so not really sure why they are not getting their deserved prices.

Cool Pets mint price will be 0.5 ETH. And I thought Adidas drop was expensive.
World of Women has signed with Guy Oseary to represent the project.
LooksRare topped $110M in trading in one day. The new marketplace rewards users with $LOOKS tokens for buying or selling NFTs. However, some wash trading is happening where people are buying their own NFTs from their other wallets to get more $LOOKS, like Meebit #13824 sold for about $50 million worth of WETH each time. I doubt the marketplace has any issues from this as they are taking 2% from each sale.
Doodles soared in value after a unique new feature was introduced. Owners will be able to wrap their Doodles to get a Space Doodle & unwrap and turn it back into a Doodle. Each owner can only have one in their wallet at once, thus not increasing the number of NFTs in the project and creating a non-dilutive model.

Fees.wtf did an โairdropโ โฆ air-quotes because they were charging 0.1 ETH fee to join the airdrop, and I doubt that unless youโre a hardcore collector, the airdrop wouldnโt cover that fee. Originally the platform was a tool to see how much gas fee you spent, but people are calling this โairdropโ a cash grab.
