Crypto foot fetish?The proliferation of pixelated Feetpix NFTs

Fear not. Weary cryptocurrency souls with no end in sight to their suffering.

Feetpix (or Feetpix.wtf) is an NFT collection consisting of 10,000 very simple images of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite appendages, taking cryptocurrency by storm, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and other goodies. 5th place, overtaking a strong NFT staple. On Tuesday he launched the most traded collection on NFT marketplace OpenSea.

The project has traded 640 ETH (approximately $855,000) since its debut three days ago, with the majority of that volume occurring in the last 24 hours alone. Feetpix was originally created for free. After that, the lowest price for the collection jumped to 0.135 ETH, or about $180. To date, this collection he has seen over 16,000 transactions.

What is driving the crypto craze? Are there any secret pedicure-related perks? Are you a travel-oriented DAO member? A utility token to unlock a treasure trove of scandalous, shoeless Polaroids?

“0 Roadmap, 0 Promise, 0 Marketing, 0 Paid Influencers,” Feetpix wrote on Twitter this morning. “Common love of feet.”

This collection is an opportunity to “satisfy your deepest and darkest fantasies,” as OpenSea’s description of the collection puts it. Simplifying Feetpix websiteOffering Curious Shoppers Some Answers is scored to a rhythmic dance track of echoing moans.

Feetpix rarity includes accessories such as socks, cigarettes, and panties, nail polish color variations, and skin tones such as white, tan, brown, dark brown, and “normal” (skin colors that look like variations) based on attributes. White.

Crypto Twitter couldn’t take their eyes off it as soon as Feetpix started climbing the NFT leaderboards on Tuesday. Perhaps these feet weren’t just chunky sock containers, they were beautiful, shapely, and electric — a sign of the end of the NFT bear market.

Many Twitter users hailed the project’s success as a sign of the return of “degen season,” the heyday of risky cryptocurrency trading.

With $25 billion in trading volume in 2021, the NFT market has crashed after crypto’s latest winter began in May. Sales drop by the end of 2022 about 88%.

Feetpix’s absurdity and barefoot (barefoot?) uselessness recalls much of NFT’s early days.

Whether the thrill and stimulation of these 10,000 pairs of legs can revive the struggling NFT market remains to be seen. Feetpix’s mysterious creators mocked the sudden success of their own projects and reprimanded Feetpix owners for showing clear signs of sexual deviance.

Are your legs that weird? OpenSea also has his Handpix.wtf collection which is very similar, with much lower sales volumes and lowest prices, but without the “regular” skin attributes.
