Just picked up this beauty from @BlotterNFT 👁‍🗨

I know @rodeodotclub gets a bad rep for low artist payouts, but after a 30-day streak on the platform and multiple people & banger artwork I'd have otherwise never seen, I wanna share some key observations 🧵

2️⃣ For small artists, this can be a blessing -
If an artist only mints a few pieces, early buyers can establish a strong floor.

The OG Rodeo account has a 1,000x bid on the first piece that has been sitting there for weeks now—no flipping, just them hodling.


3️⃣ Rodeo, to me, isn’t a fine art platform replacement - it’s a network amplifier.

The last 3 pieces I picked up? All from artists I met there. The resulting convos have been meaningful exchanges with collectors or artists I wouldn’t have met otherwise.


4️⃣ I’ve noticed the best results (within reason) come from those established artists who create a cohesive mini-collection there—like @elazutina, @mrLakon, or @HoizonArt.

Their work feels like an extension of their portfolio rather than a side project.


5️⃣ Anyway, just my humble two cents on this.

I think Rodeo is worth exploring, even if just as an experimental platform for a new kind of emerging art-consumption-thing.

Time to collect all the things and amplify cool art in 2025 🖼️

1️⃣ Flipping is happening - Art on Rodeo gets indeed flipped multiple times for 5x - 10x.

If you’re a fan of an artist and don’t buy daily, you’ll likely never get their past work at the original price.

For low mints, I now would need to pay 100x to get it.
