Today we honor Alotta Money, the patron saint of cryptoart and a self-proclaimed NFT machine who passed away 3 years ago.
He left behind an abundance of work for us to enjoy, including many sublime self-portraits.
Let's explore some of these works! 🧵👇🏽

If cryptoart had an anthem, what would it be?
I'll nominate Doug and the Slugs cover of Nobody But Me by the Human Beinz for its zeal, appropriation, and being released on the singer's own record label.
🔊What song you would choose?!?

The False Promise by @jivinci
This work critiques the lack of transparency around sales by web2 auction houses & the impact on creator royalties.
In 2019, Jivinci and Alotta Money created Saint Nakamoto, which set a record for the highest sale of a work of cryptoart at the time.
@niftytime.eth was the first owner of the work, acquiring it for 11 eth. The work was later re-sold to Starry Night Capital for 270 eth.
Starry Night collapsed during the bear market. When its holdings were liquidated, Sotheby's took custody of the digital assets.
Sotheby's sold Saint Nakamoto last December for an undisclosed amount. To this date, royalties have yet to be paid to the artists.
The False Promise offers a stark critique of the failure of web2 auction houses to uphold their social contract with creators.

What makes cryptoart unique?
Values matter more than aesthetics.

Was Long Way to the Moon by Alotta Money inspired by Goya's El Perro?!?
@museumofcrypto shared Goya's work in their newsletter & the similarity is curious, especially given Money's penchant for appropriation 🚀🌙

For World Photography Day I'll share my one and only piece of photographic advice:
If you accidentally push film back into the roll, you can fish it out using the end of another roll of film, which works best if slightly moistened.
In a really sticky situation, instead of another roll of film you can use a stiff piece of paper & some tape! 😁

Two works of cryptoart by Alotta Money traded hands this week!
Binance first days & Libra One World One Money, each minted in 2019.
Both works immortalize less common crypto themes, focusing on CZ & BNB as well as the ill-fated Facebook Libra blockchain.

The Assumption: Adamma is the debut ordinal by Osinachi
Contrasting Western iconography & the Nigerian masquerade, Adamma reflects the legacy of colonialism in elevating or diminishing certain symbols based on their cultural origin.
