One look at the moonbirds art, and you’ll be thinking, “wait, these owls look like so many other pixel projects, hmmmmmm”……
Back to my original advice: Get famous first, then release an NFT project.
The Moonbirds NFT project began on April 16, 2022 and since then has amassed over $364.83 million in sales so far. The 10,000 individual Moonbirds collectively have a market capitalization of just over $1 billion in USD value.
Apparently, people can nest their moonbirds to get enhanced drops and rewards.
Moonbirds have been popular because the collection is backed by Proof Collective, a group of wealthy, hyped NFT collectors. Members include Gary Vee and Beeple.
Proof Collective is a private members-only collective of 1,000 NFT collectors and artists. In order to join Proof Collective, the membership fee has a floor price of $318,000. So if you’re not loaded, you can’t join the club.
Proof Collective was created by Justin Mezell, Kevin Rose, and Ryan Carson. Kevin Rose co-founded Digg.
Moonbirds is probably just the beginning of the formation of rich boys’ clubs, where the art plays a background role to the gatekeeping club which prioritizes wealth and status over everything else.
And most importantly, it provides a big steady income to the web2 boys who clearly want get their cut of the NFT pie. Forming an exclusive, elitist club is probably going to be the norm……it’s the old story of cunning wealth capture through status-seeking games playing out in a new arena.
