NiftyNoon: Is Sam Spratt’s Monument Game the Biggest Art Event in NFTs?
The entire NFT market has its eyes on Sam Spratt as his monument game continues (August 23, 2023)
Nifty Thought
Sam Spratt’s Monument Game has taken over the NFT art space. After a successful mint out of the Monument Game tickets at 3.33 ETH each earlier this week, people have begun aggressively posting observations of Spratt’s stunning artwork. Participants have been cultivating their observations in anticipation of the game’s conclusion. In the next phase of this game, these final observations will be minted into the metadata of each respective NFT ticket edition. Spratt’s council will then deliberate upon each observation through two rounds of nominations. This is all done by Monument Game participants in the hopes that they will be one of three Monument Game winners to take home a Skull of Luci (likely worth 60-70 ETH).
While there has been some criticism surrounding the game as a popularity contest, it is clear that Spratt has succeeded in drumming up interest and hype for his artwork. Indeed, Spratt is truly a master of his craft that has done an incredible job of cultivating a strong base of collectors. At the same time, the market has reached euphoria for his work at a time when overall liquidity is tight and almost every other collection is bleeding. No one is immune to the natural headwinds of the economy.
As these bear market profit opportunities are quite rare, holders on the winning end of Sam Spratt trades may be wise to consider locking in profits in the short term. While the spotlight shines on Spratt today, the attention economy of crypto twitter is fickle and the preferences of NFT buyers changes at a whim. Nonetheless, the future for Sam Spratt as an artist is undeniably bright and it will be truly exciting to see what comes of the Monument Game and its conclusion.
