Hot Take: The “First Impression” bidders complaining that they were robbed of the opportunity to win only have themselves to blame. Is the outcome disappointing for Chema? Absolutely, ETH was definitely left on the auction floor, but who knows if as much as we think. Moderates/Overflowing.eth saw art that they wanted, and immediately bid what he was willing to pay — what he valued it at. There was none of this “I was willing to spend up to 5 ETH!!” In each auction Moderates won, they bid 2-4 ETH more than the current winning bid. He didn’t leave anything to chance. THAT was pro-artist patronage, not these overly performative, “I would have paid more BUT for SuperRare” tweets. Be honest, you wanted a bargain, you tried to game the auction waiting til the end, and you lost.
