The NFT space continues to thrive, with new collections making headlines every week. Now, a 22-year-old Indonesian boy managed to sell almost 1,000 selfies that he took over the past five years as NFTs on OpenSea.
Ghozali’s NFT Drop
Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozali is a 22-year-old Indonesian from Semarang, studying computer science. A few years back, he decided to start taking selfies every single day, and in the years between 2017 and 2021, he took over a thousand photos.
According to his official Twitter account, his goal of “taking pictures of myself for five years is just for this video.” The video in question is for when he graduates college.
However, with the advent of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Ghozali had the idea of minting these pictures into NFTs and selling them on OpenSea.
This tweet from January 10th, 2022, shows that he had started uploading his photos on OpenSea at the price of 0.001 ETH each.
And while the project might be devoid of any profound artistic value, the floor price currently sits at 0.42 ETH, and Ghozali Everyday, as the student thematically named the initiative, has seen 355 ETH worth of volume traded. There are currently 498 addresses owning an NFT from the collection.
Irene Zhao Jumps on Bandwagon
Another heavily-discussed topic in the past couple of days was Irene Zhao’s NFT initiative called IreneDAO. For those of you who might not be aware, Irene Zhao is an advisor at Konomi Network and a relatively popular figure in the cryptocurrency space.
She recently created the IreneDAO project, which is intended to be a “global grassroots movement aimed at disrupting the creator economy.” In reality, at least at the current moment, the collection consists of nothing but pictures of Zhao with random meme-inspired transcriptions on them.
The collection had a floor price below 0.2 ETH a couple of days back, but it now sits at 3.59 ETH and has seen over 1800 ETH in traded volume, according to OpenSea.
