Created back in October 20, 2017, I made one of the first Ethereum digital paintings / illustrations, making it a piece of history and one of the rarest NFT collectibles in the market today. To give you more context, this painting was created about 4 months after the release of CryptoPunks (June 2017).

What makes this NFT artwork even more valuable is that there is a recorded process video available on Youtube (posted on October 20, 2017). To my knowledge, this video stands as the first record of any Ethereum digital artwork being created. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Even though this painting was minted recently and not around the same time as cryptopunks, this process video (along with several posts) serves as proof of work and validates the date of creation, which really adds significant value to this NFT.

Furthermore a Google image search of the following terms: “Ethereum Art / Artwork/ Painting / Digital Art, etc.” shows ‘Ether in the Sky’ as the FIRST RESULT (If not, among one of the top results). I think this may be the case because this painting has a lot of history and it has also been used by many sites and articles.

I tried my best to google search for Ethereum digital paintings before 2017. Based on the results I did find some photoshopped ethereum artworks that predated “Ether in the Sky”; however, none of them were paintings. They were simply photoshop, cut and paste style edits. I won’t sit here and say that my Ethereum digital painting is the first because I am sure there are a select few somewhere out there that predate mine. I have yet to find them. But what I can confidently say is that “Ether in the Sky” is among one of the first Ethereum digital paintings. And it may be the first from that time period to be minted (I will have to do further research to validate that statement).
 
There are a total of 200 “Ether in the Sky” NFTs. At moment of writing this, 130 are still available. These were originally selling for 0.9 eth but recently I reduced the price by 33%, making the price of each copy 0.6 eth. Also I am holding on to 31 copies which I will sell later down the line.

would love to get into dash at a lower entry point.

I remember getting into the ICO of this token. Luckily I sold it early on. Quite a steep drop.

I am waiting for XMR to dip down to $95, that's if we see a significant BTC correction. Will collect more then.

A mobile wallet that allows anonymous staking is unheard of. I think people from East and South Asia will find this attractive, since a lot of them do not own a computer. Mobile staking will definitely bring more attention to this project. 

I believe the rebranding was probably the best decision made by the team. Alias sounds much better than spectrecoin. Things may be stagnant for the time being but long term I think this rebranding will immensely help.

Here are some 3D HEX motion graphics artwork that I made. They are available for your personal use for $10. Link:

If your interested or know anyone who might be, please share.

Thanks for the support! -Yog

if you are looking for a crypto with massive potential in the mid-long term range, look into Spectrecoin (XSPEC). Once it gets added to a few more exchanges, this privacy coin will thrive like no other!

XSPEC seems like the best option for privacy coins! Hope to see it on more exchanges.

Spectrecoin is undeniably the best privacy coin in the market. I am surprised how many people don't know about this hidden gem. I can only see a bright future for this crypto and mass adoption. Can't wait for the mobile wallet to come out!

Honestly, Spectrecoin (XSPEC) is probably one of the most undervalued coins out there. I really like monero but I love spectrecoin even more because it is the only proof-of-stake coin out there with an anonymous staking protocol. People doubted that this was possible but XSPEC is the first one to prove the disbelievers wrong, making it the most powerful privacy coin in the market. 

Eth still has big room for growth!

Same here! It's best to keep up with the news and get various peoples opinion. Def not worth waiting until the last. Best to keep a constant look out. But hopefully we are many many years away from any sort of collapse of cryptos.

Yea 15k seems to high. I could def see it being around 3-5k. Let's see where it goes. Today is a good day for ETH, its at $757 with an 11.51% increase. Woot!

I was just wondering how long you guys plan to hold on to your top cryptos. Right now my plan is to hold on for at least 3-5 years. But that could all change depending on where the market goes. If there is serious mass adoption, I wouldn't mind holding for longer. I will probably hold on to LTC for the longest.

---

I love both btc and ltc but when it comes to investment, I would choose LTC since I got a handful when it was around $50. I have a better chance of seeing more growth with ltc.

I certainly do believe in cryptocurrency! Although it was a little scary during the winter crash, I has strong faith that things would recover.
