Currently at #183. Regarding my asking price of €190 for my mint-condition shirt #4, some people say I need to have more faith and HODL. Others say I’m contributing to a worse society by trying to find the next greater fool.

What stops a Chinese factory to print a 1000 shirts with 0004 embroidered and shipped all over the world? This is just a NFT esque grift.

Here's how you calculate the total spent on the shirt so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression#Sum 16,836€ (183 sold)

Weren't 182 t-shirts sold? That would put the total amount made to 16,653.

But yes, that's the way to calculate it.

I think you're right. A price of 183 means that the seller is offering it to potential buyers at 183, not that it has sold at 183. So your calculation is correct.

It is actually a reasonable use case for a NFT
