Reddit NFTs: Did you miss generational wealth again?
Although Reddit users have a reputation for being NFT haters, the tide has turned.
Reddit launched an avatar-style NFT collection and three million users have made wallets to scoop up the NFTs (that’s already more than OpenSea).
The key to deceiving millions of Redditors? Don’t call them NFTs, call them ‘digital collectibles’. Don’t call the thing they are stored in wallets, call them ‘Vaults’.
It’s almost as if making the experience easier for new users by eliminating unnecessary complexity actually works. Weird.
119 Rug Radio NFTs swept
It’s that time of year again.
Pumpkin spice is in the air and leaves are on the ground. While most of us get our rusty sweeps out of the garage, one eager NFT collector has dusted off his industrial, four-wheel drive turbo sweeper.
A new wallet, known as EMBRACECHAOS was loaded with 50 ETH and spent 45 of them on 119 Rug Radio NFTs (the project founded by Farokh).
The catalyst for the sweep is unclear. However, it does come at a time when people are becoming increasingly aware of how important media and entertainment are in the NFT space.
Farokh and Rug Radio have one of the most popular NFT Spaces on Twitter. It is informative, entertaining and regularly boasts some of the biggest guests in Web3.
The people and projects that have attention can control narratives. They can also sell that attention to sponsors, and use the proceeds to fund more benefits and perks for NFT holders. People seem to be catching on.
ALPHA ALERT: Keep your eyes peeled!
New RTFKT drop
RTFKT is collaborating with RIMOWA to drop 2,222 WorkerBots NFTs for 0.08 ETH and 888 luxury suitcases for 2.3 ETH each.
The mint will take place on Oct 27 and is open to everyone (not just RTFKT holders).
To have a chance of minting, you need to enter the “live draw system” and have a sufficient amount of ETH to mint in your wallet. RTFKT holders
are more likely to win the draw.

CryptoPunk necklaces
Remember when everyone was talking about the 248 CryptoPunk pendants from Tiffany and Co. that minted for 30 ETH each? Well, holders have been told to “check your inbox” on October 26 for a “first look” at their new necklaces.
The preview will show the front and back of the item, and also reveals which gems are included in the pendant.
CryptoPunk necklace flexes incoming.
