I'll be proud to say I was here at the bottom, experimenting, making and minting NFTs.

Apotosis is live!
The first work has been minted, revealed, and the system is running.
Thank you to the first collector. @aa_fren
After 8 months of building, testing, curating, and refining, it means a lot to see the first piece enter the world.

A collection where the market does not just collect the work, but helps shape what survives. I hope these ones survive.

I believe Australian sausage rolls have surpassed meat pies. Crazy neither are widely available in the US.

Apotosis uses adaptive pricing because the mint mechanism is part of the artwork.
No gas war.
No artificial rarity sniping.
No hidden trait game.
Each work is judged visually.
The collection is 1,000 works, released one at a time. The price responds to demand across the 30-day mint period.
If minting moves faster than the intended pace, the price rises.
If minting moves slower, the price falls.
The target average price is 0.025 ETH.
I wanted the mint to avoid the usual panic mechanics. Not a race to snipe the βbestβ token ID. Not a whitelist game. Not a single fixed price that ignores demand.
Apotosis is about signal, decay, selection, and survival.
So the system had to reflect that.
The artwork is curated.
The mint is adaptive.
The secondary cycle is selective.
The mechanism is not separate from the work. It is part of the work.
Mint opens June 12, 8am AEST.

Apotosis
/ap-oh-TOH-sis/
The programmed decay of data, noise, or excess information so that more valuable signal can survive.
Apotosis opens June 12, 8am AEST.
1,000 digital artworks.
Digital art that kills the noise to amplify the signal.
This has been an art obsession for the past 9 months. Not just making images, but building the whole system around them: the visual language, the direction, the curation process, the website, the contract, and the mint mechanics.
It began with more than 50,000 images and slowly became a collection of 1,000 works.
The mint uses adaptive pricing, with a target average price of 0.025 ETH, and a 30-day sale period unless sold out earlier.
90% of primary mint proceeds go to a Reserve Wallet, intended to acquire and retire underperforming works from the collection. The idea is simple: selective loss makes the surviving body of work clearer, rarer, and stronger.
That is why this needed to exist.
It is not only a collection of images. It is a programmed curation cycle. A digital art organism shaped by creation, selection, decay, and survival.
Iβm proud of that. Not because it was easy, but because it wasnβt.
Now collectors begin the next pass.
Filter.
Eliminate.
Amplify the signal.

I like charts like this bc it gives perspective and probability. During downturns like this, 80% of the time, BTC is up after 8 months, with an average gain of 184%
Bitcoin is down 50% in 250 days. What happens next?
8 months later, Bitcoin is up 80% of the time.
The average gain is 184%
The worst loss is -43%.
The expected price range for January 2027 is $66k - $107k (middle 50% interquartile).

Either it's totally over and never coming back again, or you're in the right time to accumulate, and in a few years they will say you got lucky.
