gmoney, a prominent NFT collector, reflects on his purchase of the most expensive CryptoPunk, Ape Punk 8219, for 140 ETH ($150K) in January 2021, just before a significant market decline. Initially excited, he soon feared he had 'bought the top' as Bitcoin prices fell. However, he later witnessed a resurgence in the market when Flamingo DAO bought an Alien Punk for around 600 ETH. gmoney's journey into NFTs began after he recognized the potential of digital scarcity while playing Fortnite during the pandemic. He emphasizes a long-term view in collecting, focusing on iconic pieces like CryptoPunks and Chromie Squiggles, believing they will become historically significant artifacts. His clothing brand, 9dcc, aims to bridge the gap between crypto and mainstream culture. Through this venture, he aims to educate people on the value of digital ownership and enhance their digital experiences. gmoney advises newcomers to be patient with the market and to focus on art they love without chasing profit.
