Super cool name! to start with, GHOZALI !

What's up Hivians! Another weird / funny stuff just happened in the crypto space (once again)...

I can't believe what just happened but certainly, NFT has actually changed someone's life just overnight. Yesterday, in a Telegram group chat I'm in, the guys started sharing a collection 'Ghozali Everyday' and we were laughing hard then one person started to go like..

F*ck it, I'm doing this

Then the next one also be like 'Shit, I'm fomo-ing into'... I mean, first thought must be something like 'wtf' but if you think about it, it literally have the ingredients to be a perfect meme of the crypto space or even in general, even.

One dude from Indonesia decided to take a selfie of himself everyday (or close enough) for 5 years straight to make a one single video he's always dream of and turned out, to mint them 933 selfies on Opensea as NFTs during the bull (little bear-ish) but still, got such attention and believe it or not, the collection has already 300ETH trading volume at the time of writing.

I don't really want to go into numbers so deep but just a quick calculation from the royalty fee from his original art (Ahem! Selfie), he's already earned 30ETH which worth $100,000 ish. I know this takes such an effort but still can't think, this is crazy! (in a good way of course!)

Check out his collection: https://opensea.io/collection/ghozali-everyday

It's a perfect meme

He's innocence.. he's genuine...

Let's analyst this a bit how it's successful and why people tend to like it. Well, TL;DR, it's totally a perfect meme, if you think about it. First of all, photos are never professionally taken or not even an effort to make it look good. How genuine he is, no smile no nothing. It's almost like someone force him to do so but no, he has been doing that himself and been doing it for 5 years straight. That's an effort! Then, the fact that he's brave enough to mint is as NFTs.


Crypto is crazy and that's the charm of it

In real life, you wouldn't spend $5 for this kind of photos but in the crypto space, anything is possible. Insane stuff happens every single day and I think that's why, it keeps us alive excitedly in this space, don't you agree?

Adorable!

Another fun thing to do related to Ghozali Everyday is just to scroll down Twitter feed and browse social media with all the conversation going on. The one I like so much is that, someone has asked the dude if he doesn't have any photos with 'smile' during these 5 years and what he answered was 'well, just emptiness'. It's funny yes, yet adorable!

I bet that if he takes a photo where he's smiling, that will be an expensive rarity. I am happy for the guy because I have a feeling he definetely needed the money. And his effort took 5 years. Many people take selfies but no one had an idea like Ghozali.

Ghozali makes selfies.
Ghozali makes money
Be like Ghozali lol.

This is hilarious, crypto can change lives.

True that totally happy for him! His mom just did a collection called 'Ghozali mom' today too. I don't think it will go viral as the son's as that's more genuine and unexpected. :D

It's going to be crazy when these things lose 95%. I've been in a lot of NFT projects and a super majority of them go up for a few weeks or even a month, then slowly everyone sells and gets out of it.

There are a few exceptions like Bored Ape Yacht Club/Cryptopunks/World of Women. There are tons of other projects that just go down to like nothing. Be careful!

Agreed with you here! I didn't purchase. A little too expensive for my financial position :D As well as, I just got into NFT game not so long ago so I'm still learning it.

Thanks for the info indeed! would be so happy to chat and know your perspective on all this ! :)))

Oh well, this is a cool story! Real pictures should sell more, we believe. That's why we are working to create a niche for flower photographs!
