Yesterday Beeple made one of the craziest NFT pranks in a long time At the CryptoPunks Meetup 2.0, he showed a video with the Larva Labs founders saying that Nakamigos were secret CryptoPunks prototypes made in 2015. People at the event got flyers that said V0 Punks signed by Matt and John. The video went viral in minutes The market went crazy. 1,210 Nakamigos were sold in 1,334 trades. Volume reached 502.77 ETH, around 2.1 million dollars. The floor price jumped 128 percent before falling back down. That day Nakamigos made up 58 percent of the entire NFT market It worked because supply was low, the lost prototype story pulled everyone in, and Beeple is trusted. Most trades were small between 0.3 and 0.5 ETH. Only a few buyers paid more than 1 ETH, with the highest sale at 3.8 ETH Two weeks earlier Mike Novogratz had changed his profile picture to a Nakamigos, which already pumped the price by 40 percent and set the market up for this The next day Beeple posted a video saying it was a joke and linked to “imafuckingretardcom” to give free NFTs as “compensation” In one day he made a joke and move worth more than two million dollars This proved that a good story can still move the NFT market.
