На аукционе Sotheby’s был снят лот из 104 NFT коллекции CryptoPunks. Анонимный пользователь сделал в последний момент.
Планировалось проведение торгов 23 февраля. Аукционный дом прогнозировал, что цена продажи составит $20-$30 млн.
Но в канун старта торгов коллекционер снял лот с продажи и заявил:
«Не берите в голову, решил придержать».
nvm, decided to hodl https://t.co/WdQ5H7I0fl

Вслед за этим он опубликовал серию мемов, сначала намекнув на нежелание продавать активы на фоне падения цены. После пользователь 0x650d дал понять, что «кинув» Sotheby’s с аукционом он выводит CryptoPunks в мейнстрим.

На такое действие часть сообщества отреагировала критикой.
«Эта отмена, к сожалению, имела противоположный эффект. Печальный день для коллекционеров цифрового искусства», — добавил основатель Compound Роберт Лешнер.
The last-minute withdrawal of the Punk It auction unfortunately had the opposite effect. A sad day for digital art collectors. https://t.co/LXGjvBI2ok

Свое мнение высказал и создатель медиа-проекта RugRadio под ником Farokh.eth. По его мнению, 0x650d выставил дураками всех участников отрасли.
«Даже СМИ смеются над твоими попытками спрятать вину за тупыми мемами», — добавил он.
Bro you suck stop acting like you rugged Sotheby’s lmao you made everyone look stupid. Even the press here is laughing at us because of you stop hiding the guilt behind dumb ass memes.

Но есть и те, кто поддержал несостоявшегося продавца. Пользователь написал, что владелец NFT избежал «самой большой ошибки в жизни», поскольку CryptoPunks — это «произведения Уорхола 21 века».
Sad day? Amazing day. The seller realized just how valuable what he holds is… maybe he never understood Punks are the Warhol’s of the 21st century and the panel before the auction saved him from the biggest mistake of his life by letting them go….

Также правильным посчитал такое решение цифровой художник Stuart Semple.
Thoughts on Sotheby's who pulled the nft auction of 104 crypto punks from one owner? Basically there was no action so they gave up! Why would anyone pay Sotheby's good money for inflated nft's when they can buy off the floor. Bye bye middlemen! https://t.co/YI6kOPeQ9G
