Made My First NFT Sale on OpenSea!

About my journey so far: I created my OpenSea account about two weeks ago. It cost me about $100 to get started: $20 in transaction fees to get Etherium into my MetaMask wallet and then about $80 in Etherium gas fees to create my first collection. I used this website to watch gas prices for a couple of days to see when gas prices tended to be lowest: https://ethgasstation.info/

Since then I have been uploading a few panda NFTs every day. I have been working on my 1000 pandas project, so I have almost 100 panda images as a backlog ready to upload as NFTs. Once I've caught up with my backlog I will create the NFTs as I create the pandas.

When I create an NFT, I have been creating a supply of 1000 for each item (add "?enable_supply=true" to the end of the create URL to be able to change the supply of your OpenSea NFTs). When I finally finish making all 1000 pandas and making 1000 NFTs of each, that will end up being 1 million panda NFTs!

I did this so I could experiment, and what I'm experimenting with right now is pricing. I started out with high prices, like 0.1 ETH (around $170 USD), but I have been dropping the price lower and lower. I'm setting all of my NFTs at fixed prices.

My first sale was of this panda, Orange Glow Panda #74, for 0.0011 ETH (around $2 USD).
Because it had a fixed price, the sale went through without me doing anything. I just got an email saying I had made a sale. Obviously, I haven't even broken even yet, but it was still exciting to get the email! The next thing to do is figure out what I want to do with all 0.0011 ETH I got from the sale.

Trip to Europe 2024

Steven and I got to go to Europe for two weeks. Our main stops were Amsterdam, Brussels, and London. The links in this post take you to videos that go along with the pictures. Amsterdam, Netherlands Flying to Amsterdam from Salt Lake City was over 9 hours and 5,000 miles. Phew. We took trains to get from Schipol Airport to our hotel. It took us a little while to figure out exactly how to get where we were going in our jet-lagged state, but after tapping in and tapping out a few times getting around anywhere in Amsterdam was so easy! Bikes - We loved seeing all the bikes. The Centraal Station bike parking lot was especially amazing with just how many bikes were there. Canal Tour - One of our first activities in Amsterdam was a canal tour. Definitely recommend! It was nice getting an overview of the city and its history. Bike tour - Our favorite part of the whole trip! We zipped along the fields around Amsterdam on electric bikes, saw windmills and electric pumps, and stopped at a fa...
