BS'ometer,
- TOTAL project volume is ~$810k
- just so happens to be a little north of previous record, ($777k).
- Ok, it's by @GoGalaGames and bought by @PolyientGames but can't help but think there's more to this story, (equity swap - publicity stunt). pic.twitter.com/Ef3HHqvvI2
They chose to do it like that as a publicity stunt to gather attention, something that they definitely succeeded with. Here is an excellent analysis by Wiliam M. Peaster on the 15th issue of the NFT Humpday Report, a weekly column covering and providing embedded analysis on the NFT economy’s biggest topics du jour.
The whole incident can be described as a silent fart in the wind. After a few hours, it was debunked and we all moved on.
There were some notable purchases this week.
Pranksy bought a total of 463 ETH ~580,000 $USD in NBATopshot accounts. He now has 32,500 moments, which is more than the Dapper Vault.
Making waves: @pranksyNFT is a top @NBA_TopShot #NFT collector – he's recently doubled down, deploying a total of 463 ETH / $500k+ buying entire accounts

Collectors like Pranksy give options to players that want to exit quickly, their collections moving into more patient hands https://t.co/gdmIxXU0I0
NBATopShot is another project that we covered early on and it's going parabolic now, you should expect a new and improved shameless shilling about it.
Another record-breaking sale was the 140ETH ~175,000 $USD Cryptopunks Ape purchase by power collector gmoney, the seller was vapeape.
