Nifty Thought:

X. Masquerade’s record-breaking $3 million USD sale has reignited interest in the otherwise struggling NFT art market. The piece was purchased by the Kanbas Collection in a move that artist Sam Spratt explains began a year ago in Paris. This is coupled as various Spratt collections are seeing substantial upwards momentum as the Masks of Luci mint draws to a close. @SamSpratt @MrsRachelSpratt
