Pablo Picasso, 1925. La Statuaire. It was the priciest Picasso sold during the 2024. In the article below, Katya Kazakina, dives deep into the whole 2024 art market. Magritte was the top sold artist in $ terms. Picasso remains in high demand: 3,139 lots were sold in 2024 alone! 😮 😮 😮 Read the full report, here: https://news.artnet.com/market/2024-artist-auction-rankings-2596803

Hey @rodeodotclub, I guess you moderated this post as it does not show up in my profile. :(

Too many posts to be collected and too little liquidity... Rodeo is not for the weak

quartered by @jack on @rodeodotclub here is his commentary: “This image clinically deconstructs value allocation using a single quarter as its model. Fifty percent (two quarters) is assigned to the artist, representing the brain and the function of vision and creation. Twenty-five percent (one quarter) is allocated to the collector or referrer, symbolizing the tongue and the roles of taste and articulation. The final twenty-five percent (one quarter) is designated to the platform, functioning as the spine, providing structure and connectivity. Together, these divisions illustrate the anatomy of value.”

Rodeo bull case: even if ETH reaches $10k, it will still be cool to collect for 1 dollar (debatable but objectively not a deal breaker). Some artworks will inevitably appreciate in value, and it’s not about their quality, rather about their desirability. 🎩 The product is the coolest shit I’ve seen shipping in the last decade. I can see an easy white-labelling biz model or a possible big acquisition down the line. Just keep an eye on its growth. Bear case(s): every ne gets bored and stops using it (not impossible). Artists go back minting their JPEGs on platforms who bleed them and their collectors out off fees. Unlikely, but what do I know. @base collapses, or Coinbase winds it down. Again, unlikely but not 100% impossible. /rodeo-club is fun, fair and with very few frictions. I do personally enjoy it and am spending a bit much more $ than I should. For artists it’s about the choice to be there or not.

About /rodeo-club heating up... I took a look at the numbers after the first 6 months, with the secondary just recently introduced. The biggest move is in the protocol revenue: January 2025 already passed November 2024 by 40% in just 3 days! MoM revenue popped 300% in December 2024 compared to the previous month. - 1 million mints, for almost 80k posts. Averaging 12 mints per posts - >50ETH distributed among 7.5k creators, averaging 22 bucks per creator - 19ETH distributed among 21k collectors, averaging 3 bucks per collector - Over $30k revenue in December 2024, a 300% compared to the previous month. January 2025 revenue already surpassed November 2024. Lots of room for growth too!

This is @jack's commentary on , a pretty self explanatory one. Simply genial. A 3 bucks vanity composition. 9 X on @rodeodotclub. A top, period.
