On September 5, 2017, under the pseudonym Olibith, Alotta Money inscribed his first image on the Steemit blockchain. Channeling HR Giger's biomechanical aesthetic, this work alludes to an obsessive drive to create.

"Alotta Smoke" and "7h47 is 411074" are pixelated versions of Alotta Money's Monty-Pythonesque profile image. Embellished with a joint and a drop of acid, these variations of his PFP are fitting given his role as a prominent advocate for the legalization of contraband.

"Alotta Punk" is a CryptoPunk derivative styled after his own profile image, the only punk to possess the rare "bowler hat" and "4 eyes" traits! Acquired by fellow cryptoartist @coldie who has adopted it as his PFP to honor his friend.

A 2020 CoinDesk article insinuated that many NFTs made by women were 'thirst traps' using sexual imagery to make sales. When a portrait by CryptoFinally was mischaracterized as such, Alotta Money created "Thirst Trap" as part of a group protest against the misleading article.
