Blue Chip NFTs 101 – Turun, Turun, Ke Goblintown. Kisah Kejayaan Yang Tidak Mungkin

Goblintown ‘s rise to the top is one for the books. The Moonbirds came into prominence in a bearish market, but the Goblins took over in the middle of a global recession and the NFTs first winter. How did these misfits do it? Using confusion, misdirection, FOMO, and a great marketing plan that took everyone by surprise. People weren’t sure of what was happening, but they didn’t want to stay out of the party. 

Pencipta Goblintown memudahkan mereka. Pertama sekali, projek itu adalah pudina percuma. Kedua, ia menggunakan lesen Creative Commons Zero, yang bermaksud tiada Hak Cipta dan kemungkinan mengkomersialkan lukisan Goblin mengikut keperluan. Ketiga, walaupun gembar-gembur itu ada, mereka tidak menggunakan pengaruh, promosi silang atau senarai putih. Mungkin kerana itu, pudina tidak menjana perang gas seperti banyak projek lain yang berjaya.

Launched on May 22, 2022, the generative collection runs over the Ethereum blockchain. From the beginning, Goblintown promised, “No roadmap. No Discord. No utility. CC0. Contract wasn’t actually written by goblins.” The other sentence that stands out from Goblintown’s website is: “Don’t be f*cking greedy. That’s how we got ourselves here.” This suggests that the collection serves as a commentary on the NFT market and culture. And that’s not the only clue pointing that way. 

Di sisi yang sedikit negatif, royalti adalah 10% yang sangat besar dan pencipta mengetepikan 1000 NFT untuk pemegang projek mereka yang lain. Memandangkan Goblintown adalah pudina percuma, kedua-dua faktor itu nampaknya tidak begitu buruk. Setakat ini, koleksi utama telah menjana 43.9K ETH dalam jumlah volum jualan dan mempunyai harga lantai 3.1 ETH di Opensea. Seketika di sana, Goblintown begitu panas sehingga membelek Kelab Yacht Ape Bored yang maha kuasa dan menjadi koleksi terlaris untuk sehari dua. 

At first, they thought it was notorious NFT artist Beeple. Then, that the infamous Yuga Labs was behind the project. For a time there, people even believed that the brain and voice behind “Beavis And Butthead” and “King of the Hill,” Mike Judge was Goblintown’s creator. And, since one of the Goblins kind of looks like Snoop Dogg, that rumor circulated too. It made sense because people still believe that Snoop is famed NFT collector Cozomo de’ Medici, even though that story proved to be false.

The only one that came forward and addressed the rumors was Beeple, who tweeted, “insane I have to say this, but I have not joined any shockingly low effort pump and dump projects that will remain nameless.” Later, as the Goblintown project proved its worth, the creator changed his tune and tweeted the piece “The rise and fall of Goblintown” together with the hashtag “#iamthefounder.”

Walau bagaimanapun, Beeple bukanlah pengasasnya. Melihat kejayaan besar Goblintown, pencipta misteri itu terpaksa melakukan doxx sendiri. Tepat pada masanya untuk persidangan NFT NYC, mereka mengeluarkan mesej di mana mereka mengakui bahawa Truth Labs berada di belakang projek itu. Syarikat itu berada di belakang koleksi NFT yang agak berjaya Illuminati Collective dan The 187, dan meraih emas dengan penampilan ketiga mereka.  

On Truth’s website they define themselves as:

"Kami berdedikasi untuk berkongsi kerosakan blockchain yang menarik, meneroka secara kreatif, membangunkan dunia dan pengalaman yang kaya dan menyeronokkan (kedua-dua IRL dan dalam alam digital), dan menyediakan platform untuk suara dan visi baharu dalam ruang ini."

Dalam satu kejadian yang pelik, semasa pencipta melakukan doxx sendiri, harga lantai Goblintown jatuh daripada hampir 5 ETH kepada lebih sedikit 3 ETH. 

The Goblintown name comes from The Hobbit, specifically from a J.R.R. Tolkien poem called “Down, Down, To Goblin Town.” That name also suggests that the collection serves as a commentary on the NFT market in the crypto winter. Are there other clues? Several. For example, one goblin like Dj and producer Steve Aoki, who’s a notorious NFT collector. Another one wears a t-shirt that says “Phunks, Zunks, Tendies, Azuki,” a clear reference to Azuki’s creator and all of his rugged previous projects.

Satu lagi ciri adalah merujuk kepada tatu Luna Mike Novogratz yang terkenal, dan dengan itu ulasan mengenai keruntuhan Terra. 

Then we have a goblin with a tattoo saying $LUNA.

This is likely a reference to @terra_money and the $83B collapse of the stablecoin $UST. https://t.co/wn0lliBVY3 pic.twitter.com/D5vj54rqbk

Dan, bagaimana pula dengan imej ini yang merujuk banyak projek NFT cip biru dan bertajuk "Naik, Naik, Ke Goblintown."

And well, speaking about Steve Aoki, he was the Dj at Goblintown’s highly coveted NFT NYC party. There, he premiered the horrible NFT song “Piss On the Dance Floor (Goblintown Anthem).“ You can still buy it at a reasonable price here. And, speaking about NFT NYC, for better or worse, Goblintown managed to be the center of attention throughout the whole conference. 

Macam cerita.
