How Much Is An NFT Worth ? Analysis of nftauctions 3/20/2021

Since this is a question we are all wanting an answer to, I decided to revisit the FDCARD auction as it fetch the highest price and had the most activity.

Why does an NXT have any value at all? I think for NXT it is just a new phenomenon. Value in the crypto sphere is moving into this space, spearheaded by the mainstream cashing in creating NFT to make and store value. 

Why the early SOG Cards have commanded so much value must be because some were created documenting and marking events in Bitcoin history. They were the first and that's what counts. They are also valuable because they are rare. Very Rare.

Bidding after 40K went as such :

@eltoso  40K

white rabbit 41

@ eltoso 42K

got it offalik 43K

white rabbit 44K

@eltoso  45K

Question is : Was this real? As there were 9 active bidders I believe it was. Even after 40K there were still 3 bidders in it. Some dropped of earlier and it must mean there is unsatisfied pent up demand. 

The Satoshilite card went for $3300 so why the high price for FDCARD. It must be because it was the first even though it was not connected to Bitcoin storyline.

As I see it investors are making up their minds that these early SOG cards that tell the Bitcoin story are what they are willing to pay for. No more can be created and even if more of the same were issued by Everdream Soft ( I hope they don't ), the original ones will be the ones sought after. 

Value I suppose will be based on how investors perceive each card and the story they tell not if it is an Epic or Legendary card.  

By mistake some of the early cards were also divisible. You could buy 0.001 of a Satoshicard or Genesis card. It would be silly to break one up but fractions of these cards already exists.

Decided to examine the other sales  3/20/2021 Results. Unsold cards removed

1) Spells Of Genesis

Lot #17: FDCARD (1)

All in: $45000

Seller: N/A

Winner: @eltoso

Lot #8: SATOSHILITE (1)

All in: $3300

Seller: N/A

Winner: Cheech P

I am familiar with Spells Of Genesis and I know the personalities. Shaban was at the auction and he was as surprised at the prices achieved as much as I and some others in the Spells of Genesis community. I believe most of us invested in the game believing that if the first blockchain game became a success the cards would be worth something. The best prices were always in the low hundreds for Legendary and Epic cards and mere dollars for the rest. There was no premium for historically significant cards. The most expensive was of course the Satoshicard which sold for up to 6.65 BTC about $3500 then.

Over the years support ebbed and flowed and mainly hobbled along. Many of the original investors lost interest but did nothing as there was no market to speak off for the cards. The game token BCY was also delisted from many exchanges except for Zaif in Japan but liquidity was very low.

Then @nftauctions happened! We note that the sellers were not identified (NA) Both the winners Cheech P and @eltoso only made the one purchase. I know that none of us in the community were bidders in these 2 items. They are most probably from outside the community who are buying as an investment or as a store of value.

Demand for SOG cards seem to be on the rise from outside the community.

It is quite possible that NFT valuations can exceed that of cryptocurrencies! The reason is because NFT values are decoupled from the price of cryptos. It is an asset class all by itself. 

Take for example, the Spells Of Genesis  FDCARD was sold at auction for $45,000. There are 300 cards issued, which gives this card series alone a market Cap of  $13.5 million. Whatever happen to the price of Bitcoin, the value of an FDCARD will not be affected. It is a perfect hedge for crypto investors.

All will be revealed on April 03.

Other Cards
