RIP Paper Hands Pony

 

There's been a bit of controversy in the VeeFriends Discord over whether or not it was possible to burn a Special Book Games token. We can put that controversy to rest now that Token #97713 was burned a couple of days ago. This token looks appropriate as the poor little pony is surrounded by lava and flames.

Please pay attention when burning so that you don't make a mistake like this. It was approximately 2ETH unnecessarily burned.

Ponies and Koalas

There were about 8,300 Book Games tokens for sale when I checked a few minutes ago. Already over 2,000 have sold today.

The floor in Book Games is unbelievably hot right now. It's well past 0.4ETH. Way beyond what I expected at this point. All the focus is on the overall floor and the floor for frames.

But there is one floor that hasn't moved and it's really being overlooked right now. If you have about 5ETH to spend and a long-term investment horizon of two or three years, get a Koala or Pony.

Airdrops and Market Shocks

I wrote on Monday explaining why the Book Games floor price had been dropping at the time. A single player had been airdropped 482 tokens and was selling them below the previous floor price. By the time I finished pulling data on Monday the player had sold about 150 tokens. As of last night the player is down to only 45 tokens -- most of which are for sale. Curiously they have unlisted five Empathy tokens. The floor price today is back up to about .2 and appears to be relatively stable. If a token comes onto the market below .2 it is quickly sniped.

I was notified of another rather large airdrop of tokens on Sunday. The player was airdopped 499 tokens. Not a single token has been listed for sale as of this morning. Subsequently the player was transferred another 20 tokens yesterday. The player also happens to have 5 Koalas and 5 Paper Hands Ponies in the wallet. Very interesting. The strangest part of their initial airdrop is that the Token IDs are non-contiguous which is unusual and they are almost all very high ID numbers, above 120,000. Could it be Gary getting a wallet ready for his giveaway? What are your guesses?

I'll close by warning that not all tokens have been airdropped to players. Some are waiting to claim theirs for whatever reason. There appears to be roughly 8,000 left to be airdropped not counting Gary's stash. There likely will be more market shocks to come. Be safe out there and enjoy Book Games!

Why is the Floor Dropping Today?

I had a post ready for today about crazy Book Games Theories but the excitement from the floor dropping today takes precedence.

Last night one wallet was airdropped over 482 Book Game Tokens. Today many of those are being sold below the floor. Who is the mystery player and why are they selling so low? It's anybody's guess. Is it Gary in disguise giving everyone a chance at a bargain? I certainly don't know. 

One clue I saw was that the IDs at the floor were very close to each other. Many of the aidrops of Book Games Tokens to the same player are done with consecutive IDs. That is true of the large airdrop to one wallet yesterday. Check the picture above and you'll see what I mean: 86530, 86400, 86434, 86607, 86567. This wallet was issued IDs 86376-86663 and 119282-119331.

With all of those tokens airdropped, the wallet only got one special. A Galaxy/Bubble Gum/Paper Hands Pony currently listed at 7.385ETH.

Remaining Specials

There are roughly 16,000 Book Games tokens that either Gary holds or are currently unclaimed. So how many specials remain to be claimed or given out?

As of today there are 70 Koalas, 58 Paper Hands Ponies and 2 Ogres. If you haven't yet claimed yours, you might get lucky and snag one of these!
