This has been a Tuchel tactical masterclass. Take us home, Thomas! 👊👊👊👊

Me when I first heard of Bitcoin in 2010

OH HE ATE THIS SO BAD😭😭😭

man... when did our space forget how to DREAM? look, time for a little story. i've personally placed the winning bid on 10 of the 52 genesis, and ALL 10 HELD to today. picture it at home, rainy days outside, onto my afternoon coffee. terra imploding, eth losing 80% of its value, sbf headed to federal prison. log in to superrare, bid genesis reserve. no other bidders today. maybe they'll show up next time. because of my pseudonymous identity, botto team members, from the team ITSELF, have come running to me at events. -'yo, are you pepe?' +'umm yeah, i am.' -'you are MENTALLY ILL!' my reply being always super simple. 'nah, i'm just a guy with a DREAM.' when an individual buys an iconic building in manhattan for 400 million dollars, you think his friends ask 'so, how are the rents per unit coming along'? REALLY? of course not. the only question they ask him is 'so, what are you buying NEXT'. i've been lucky to not only purchase an obnoxious amount of these now coveted 1 of 1s, but to also HELP OTHERS buy theirs. when @phantom_scribbs texted me days before buying his genesis, '7th chicken wing in the bag, fuck these look ugly lmao', you think I asked him about the latest punk floor? i didnt. I asked him if he would consider purchasing the guinness beer factory in dublin if it ever came to market as a distressed asset. when @Vince_Van_Dough texted that he planned to show up at the genesis sale, not for one second did I think to ask him 'so are you going to raise the bid by $10k?' really? of course not. instead, I asked him how zhu was holding up and if he needed a connection in there (i had some). when @__DeFi__, a man who i've known for MANY years in this industry, told me that he was going to start bidding genesis nonstop, you think I asked if he was getting a good salary? nope. I asked if he was going to bid the malibu mansion against kanye west in that upcoming LA auction. when @jediwolf dmd on a late sunday night, 'me and my 40 alts are ready to corner the genesis market', you think I asked if he thought eth was going up next week? no again. i asked if he needed diplomatic cover for the anonymous identities involved, something i could provide if necessary, come the right time. so look, long story short. if someone wants to get 5% return a year on a debasing currency, they should be allocating to government bonds and logging off this place forever. THIS AIN'T THAT. these pieces require a BIGGER VISION. you either HAVE IT, or you DON'T. but nobody will be convinced if they are looking to cut $6.9k here, or get a 4.2% return on usd there. these are ai jpegs - no need to disguise them. you are buying iconic buildings in manhattan hoping the city (for us, bitcoin) becomes the CENTER of the world's finances, instead of going to ZERO. it's ALL or NOTHING. there are 2 collections that defined The Imperfect Era ™ of AI art, before the models could output ANYTHING (now). Lost Robbies and Botto Genesis. the first ai mints, the first artist ai, both minted years ago. Robbie Barrat and Mario Klingemann, respectively. any student of this genre will dig to discover they are the GOATs. ~50 artworks in each set. that's WHAT YOU GET. you can't roll the clock back. at the end of the day, this comes down to FEELING. i've never felt the urge to SIT on more than ONE CHAIR. when I see some marketplaces and brokers struggling to place these pieces in collections, I feel NO SURPRISE whatsoever. ask the WRONG questions, get the WRONG results! an individual buying a building in manhattan, or an ai art grail of this caliber, should not be devoting a single minute of thought to the amount of usd they are spending on the purchase. there is only one thing i've ever really asked genesis buyers. usually, after lighting up a cigarrette and taking a long, thoughtful puff looking them straight in the eyes - with no glimpse of fear or doubt. because truly, it all comes down to this. 'now... tell me about your DREAMS.'
