I sure as hell canāt cover what everyone is buying but I can provide some insight on what appears to be crossover and consensus from various tight-knit and knowledgeable chat groups Iām in.
FOTO Vault - this is the first Fractional vault Iāve bought into. In a nutshell Fractionalizing is a way to buy into art that most of us couldnāt possible afford to own entirely on your own. When the artworks in the Vault sell at some point all holders of the fractional token receive their profit based on itās original valuation and actual sale price. FOTO is a great team most of whom Iāve come to know well this year and the growing roster of artists being added is seriously impressive. Vault 2 has just been launched recently consisting of JN Silva, Dave Krugman, Isaac āDriftā Wright and Alejandro Cartagena.
You can get the FOTO token via Uniswap but Iāve found the simplest way is via Fractional.art (links on main site). The best part of FOTO is the Discord community theyāre building around this so make sure to join and verify as a holder for benefits and fun stuff like the Vault 1 game we played to collect airdropped cards which combined as a set got you an amazing NFT from one of the artists.
Hereās what I won by joining forces because I couldnāt afford to outright buy the cards from others (the strategizing was so much fun)!
Fun is great but does Fractional ownership pay? Yes⦠I also bought into an iconic photograph by
Justin Aversano from his Twin Flames series. My small US$100 piece of that Fractional resulted in about US$700 return when it sold for 505 ETH!
Robotos: I missed these when they first launched and have loved them ever since! Having pooled some funds from what Iām loosely calling the āFamily DAOā to buy the Ravi drop listed below but missing out⦠I decided it was never too late to jump into Robotos and bought a little beauty #4582 ranked 2482 of 10k at 1.38 Eth. Honestly the largest amount I paid for an NFT to date but everywhere I asked Robotos was top of everyones list right now.
