⚓️ OpenSea bulk listing & buying is here

gm.

I attended my first run club last night.

it’s good to know that communities do still exist *outside* of Web3. it makes “touching grass” a little easier when you’re doing it with others.

that being said, it’s much easier to stay at my computer and interact with NFT communities. I think I’ll continue to do that instead.

We’re officially live with bulk listing and buying! 🛒 You can now list and buy up to 30 items in a single flow on OpenSea. Let’s walk through what this experience looks like in this 🧵

subvert just talked about OpenSea’s new marketing efforts and push to combat the *real* competition that’s been popping up recently.

and with ‘marketplace wars’ in full swing…OpenSea is loading up and *finally* adding bulk listing and buying. yes, OpenSea has added a ‘cart’ so you don’t have to go one by one or use a sweeper like gem.xyz anymore.

to everyone’s surprise, it appears as though OpenSea is actually “building” in the bear market (they’ll probably even tweet that soon 🌽).

but that’s what’s nice about being the market leader, you have some extra time to wait around in order to see what features the competition has…and then you can just copy the good ones.

Our @PlaniesNFT have taken off ✈️ To enhance our airBaltic Club loyalty programme, we have released #Planies - 10 000 digital collectibles! 🎫 Planies holders will receive 20 airBaltic Club points per day and redeem them for flights and other benefits. 👉 PlaniesNFT.com

AirBaltic may be a small airline, but they’ve surely gained some Web3 fans today…as they are launching their first NFT project.

yes, “Planies” (actually their name) will serve as a token to AirBaltic’s loyalty program.

it’s a great idea despite its poor execution. the Planies look like they are more for little kids than luxury air travellers. but having an NFT represent your spot in a loyalty program is a no-brainer, in my opinion. just look at Starbucks.

loyalty programs backed by NFTs will certainly be popping up more often in 2023…and could help serve as a “gateway” to indoctrinate those not currently obsessed with NFTs like us.

GM fam! I am collaborating with a winery and we are creating the bottle design for a sparking wine. Which of these do you think is the most beautiful? @BoredApeYC @OthersideMeta #winelover 🍷

• Bored Grape may not be the first wine branded with a Bored Ape on it…but it certainly has the best name for one. I’ve recently decided to become a sparking wine/champagne guy too (along with being a beer guy) so maybe I’ll have to snag a bottle of this.

Cloudmachine was 9 months of mental/emotional/creative work. So when it launched, it felt like I gave birth to 4444 of my own children. (battling postpartum with metaphorical placenta pills 😅) Allegories are fun.

• I can’t stop looking at my CloudMachine NFTs that I mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter. I don’t shout out artists as much as I should in this section, so I hope you give them a look.
