Claimed My Airhead Ordinal (My Thoughts)
So I think one of the things that is confusing for people is it is like right now the picture shown is just a place holder and after the mint is done we will actually see what our Airhead actually looks like.
The other part that was strange with this entire thing was the claim price. As you can see it costed me $416.51 to get this after probably spending $20 total prior interacting with the wallet for challenges and such.
Was It Worth It?
Only time will really tell. A lot of people got priced out of that part of it even after doing all the challenges and what not. The XP they gained is supposed to last past this Claim process so it could become worth something to them.
Some people who didn't get onboard this project were talking mad shit about it but I didn't really take it too seriously.
The market has to ultimately define itself after this process is over. There are people trading these out on on Magic Eden and the floor price has slipped slightly below the claim price which makes no sense to me because we have only been able to claim for a little over 12 hours. So why would you spend the BTC on it and then turn around and sell it for less? Makes no sense but that was a lower tier one that was going under what I had to pay for mine. The larger tiers had to pay more which was interesting considering they stacked more XP which locked them to having to pay more but they also get to double their XP doing it.

You can see the attributes that mine is going to have. Ultimately we can't see what the final art will look like until likely after the 3rd day of claims go through. You guys could still get one on day 3 or pick one up from the open market.
No Predicting The Game Theory
There really is no way of totally predicting the game theory on this project. What we do know is that Arthur Hayes is really smart and everyone involved seems to be pretty knowledgeable on the Ordinals ecosystem and building a following. Also whale pass holders essentially paid close to $6,900 to skip ahead so that also sets a price standard.
This Is What They Look Like
One of the whale pass holders posted his. So time will tell what mine will look like.
Massive Engagement
One thing I have observed from the project is how much engagement they have been able to build. Basically from no followers on X to 36,000 followers and their latest post got 181K views so the word starts spreading and if they all get claimed over the next 3 days and then some of these start going for a lot I could see it being one of the biggest narratives in crypto. There are a lot of ifs there but when I look at their videos and their artwork this has been very entertaining and engaging and I have taken a lot of notes for building up $ZENA! More on that later but in a weeks time I went from 0 followers on the Zena X account to 99 and here latest post got 368 views and 96 likes. That's how it starts and then once things build and build.
What Are You Going To Do???
Are you guys going to fade Airheads or do you think they will be able to pull off being the top collection out there?
