CryptoMode Posh Pandas NFT OpenSea
 

Many new non-fungible token collections are launching every single month. It can be challenging to see the forest through the trees, making one potentially miss out on promising projects. One such project going by a bit unnoticed is Posh Pandas, as users can still mint tokens over a week after its launch.

The Posh Pandas NFT Collection

Minted on the Ethereum blockchain, Posh Pandas is a collection of 5,000 unique generated NFTs. The launch took place on August 7, 2021, and just under 1,500 have been minted since. There are less than 400 owners, indicating users hold an average of 3.5 Posh Pandas each.

Users will spend 0.04 ETH plus gas fees to mint their Posh Panda, which can be traded on the OpenSea NFT marketplace. The project records just over 9.2 ETH in trade volume to date, with a price floor of 0.02 ETH at the time of writing. 

The team’s main objectives are to create a strong community and focus on charity. More specifically, there will be five 1/1 Posh Pandas put up for auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to a charitable organization chosen by community members. 

Should You Flip Posh Pandas?

Many people get involved in NFTs for the flipping potential. It is undoubtedly possible to mint new NFTs and sell them for a profit on the same day. However, the Posh Pandas team wants to incentivize users to hold their NFTs as long as possible. Doing so will help introduce market demand and keep liquidity low, but there is a second incentive. 

The team has confirmed there is a goal to release a second collection, known as Baby Pandas. These Baby Pandas will be distributed to all Posh Pandas NFT holders. In addition, artwork for this second set will be live-streamed on August 18, 2021, with the artists to give community members an early look at what to expect. The Baby Pandas set has no official drop date yet, but it will likely occur in the coming weeks. 

One important note: holders will receive one free Baby Panda for every two Posh Pandas they hold. 

Last but not least, NFT holders will be eligible for exclusive giveaways. More information on these giveaways will be announced through the official social channels and the project’s Discord server.

Inspired by and for the 2018 North American Bitcoin conference in Miami, Florida. The palm tree that has a cracked open Bitcoin coconut suggests that by traveling you can enjoy this tropical digital fruit. The peacock nesting in the tree has spread its wings to flaunt other integrated crypto logos as well. The famous Miami skyline at the bottom incorporates the coins, as well as the code that is transforming the banking buildings that made it. The origin of that skyline is in the 80's cocaine craze, so it is all incorporated into the story of foundational transformation, linked to a global movement. The file size is suitable for an 8K TV. Mr. Moe Levin, the founder of the conference is a collector a physical print of the work.

This was a quick and relaxed drawing but an important one. It was made in 2017 in Windows Paint, while listening to V.O.T.U. podcast, one of the many projects revolving around Steem blockchain. Things weren't looking too good at the time - the moods and prices were low. I made a few drawings of deepwater creatures then reflecting on that scene. The stylized shark here is flowing above it all,as in space independent of the circumstances. The graphic style in the background reminds of the market charts, but is also inspired by the landing scenes in an old game called Captain Blood that we had on AtariST in 80's. Thanks to this drawing i got a big commission to make illustrations for a webnovel "They Didn’t See It Beneath Them" by Verbal-d in exchange for Steem. I had still faith in the blockchain then and it paid off as things started to look upwards pretty soon. Ofcourse things are quite different now three years later in 2020. A lot of people, including myself, have moved on to Hive, a new platform that forked from Steem after some dramatic events. I'm still grateful for the early days on Steemit and this is a good memory for me and a little piece of history in the great currents of the cryptoworld. Additional notes: There may be some blurriness in the preview image and the effect gets emphasized because of the technique, but it does not extend to the actual file. That being said, to achieve a particular look I do work in small resolution which is native to the MS Paint. In order to meet the size requirements, which will allow for larger prints for example, the pixel dimensions have been scaled up for these limited editions.
