Still Betting on Digital Assets

So, the NFT market has taken a nosedive since its outrageous highs in 2021-22, right? But guess what? Billionaire collector Adam Weitsman isn’t just sitting on the sidelines—he’s diving headfirst into the deep end of digital art!

A Whopping Meebits Scoop

In a jaw-dropping transaction, Adam snagged a whopping 229 Meebits NFTs all at once. Talk about a shopping spree! This marked the biggest known purchase from the famed Meebits collection, originally launched by the creative wizards at Larva Labs.

Taking a Stand

Weitsman’s love for Meebits isn’t just about accumulating assets; it’s a full-blown crush! “I’ve always loved Meebits,” he told Decrypt during an interview. Basically, these quirky little voxel guys are the reason he jumped into the wild world of Web3. He even says this latest purchase is like a cheerleading session for the team behind Meebits.

Timing is Everything

But wait, there’s more! Adam isn’t just a collector; he’s a strategist. He likes to make his moves on “red days,” when the market is all doom and gloom. His recent Meebits haul coincided with one of those dramatic market drops, proving that he isn’t afraid to buy when others are panicking.

Friends in High Places

Weitsman has got mad respect for Meebits’ CEO, Sergio “Sergito” Silva, the guy who turned the Meebit Company into a powerhouse after they snagged the IP from Yuga Labs. To Adam, Sergito isn’t just a CEO; he’s a great friend and one of the best dudes in the business.

The Selling Game? Not for Him!

Unlike many of his NFT counterparts who are all about that buying-and-flipping lifestyle, Weitsman claims he’s never sold an NFT. He insists he’s in this for the love of the art and not for some quick cash grab. “I’m about legacy, not liquidity,” he quips—profound and super relatable!

Highlighting the Gems

In his latest treasure trove, are some of the coolest Meebits, such as #16803, which is among the 57 Skeletons out there, #367, who’s rockin’ a skull tee, and #7063, a human sporting an ultra-rare Punk Tee. Seriously, it’s like a digital collector’s dream!

Committed to the Future

Adam’s enthusiasm doesn’t stop at Meebits; he’s a major Yuga Labs fan, recently picking up 5,000 Otherdeed land plots, angled to solidify his commitment to the Bored Ape-themed Otherside metaverse. He’s not just dipping his toes; he’s going all in!

Unusual Ties and Exciting Deals

Earlier this year, Adam made waves by acquiring the CryptoDickbutts IP along with PenisDAO, proving he’s a serious player in the NFT game. And let’s not forget his scoop of HV-MTL NFTs from Faraway Games, stepping boldly onto the scene!

The NFT Community Lives On

While many NFT sales have tapered off, Weitsman believes the real magic is happening at the grassroots level. He feels it’s the artists, collectors, and founders still in the game that keep the pulse of this community beating. “This ecosystem was built on creativity and connection,” he insists.

Why He Fell in Love with Web3

Adam’s connection to the people in the NFT space is what fueled his passion for it. He shared a touching moment on social media about a thoughtful gift left by a buddy, illustrating that it’s the relationships that make this world special.

The Meebits Legacy

Launched in 2021, Meebits introduced 20,000 unique 3D voxel characters, and now, under MeebCo’s creative direction, they’re being reimagined in fresh, exciting ways. Weitsman’s unwavering commitment to collecting and building community amidst market fluctuations is an inspiration to fellow collectors.

The Bottom Line

Despite the NFT rollercoaster ride, Adam stands as a beacon for collectors who believe in art and community over mere speculation. As he puts it, “All the people I’ve met in the space are very positive, and I want to keep adding to that vibe!” Here’s to the quirky world of NFTs and the individuals making it happen!
