    Those odds aren’t looking too good for me, I bought 15 of the soldier hoping I would just get lucky and get them all right away

     

    Your chance of collecting all 9 with 15 draws is about 11.8%. So, I wish you luck - still possible! Also, maybe you can trade with someone if 1 is missing (50.0% chance to get 8 out of 9 with 15 draws).

    Not sure if anyone cares, but I wondered what the amount of money is that you need to spend on average to get all pieces.

    Ran a Monte Carlo simulation (1M iterations), here are the results (rounded up):

     

    Mecha Man (1 of 4)  $50.00 each

    $450 (9 draws)

     

    Dropped Frames (1 of 25)  $25.00 each

    $2400 (96 draws)

     

    Steam Punk Solider (1 of 9)  $40.00 each

    $1040 (26 draws)

     

    Hold the Phone (1 of 16)  $35.00 each

    $1925 (55 draws)

    I dont follow Mike streams and I dont listen to his instrumentals I heard Dropped Frames V1 and i didnt like it

    call me stupid but the person who paid that much money for something that is not actually exclusive man what was he thinking...

     

    It's too much music, I dont feel excited to listen to his instrumentals anymore.

    Sometimes less is more.

     

     

    As mentioned in here before, it's quite likely that the person who buys this for 30k+ isn't even a Mike/LP fan but rather someone from the crypto community with money lying around to invest in anything crypto-related. I think it doesn't even matter what exactly he is selling to them as long as they can sell it in the future for profit.

    Ditto. Call me pessimistic, but this seems like the kind of thing that ends up killing the concept of the album AND touring. If you're Mike, what's the point of investing a bunch of time and money into recording an album or going on tour when you can make one song at a time and sell it to people with massive amounts of disposable income for $10,000+?

     

    This is Mike going the route of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, and considering the definitely near-zero, possibly actually-zero number of people in this community who can afford to drop $10k on something as insignificant as a song, we're clearly not the target market.

     

    Somebody call Martin Shkreli.

     

    Idk, this does sound very pessimistic...I think Mike is someone who loves to try out new technologies and it's more about the novelty/idea in this specific instance. This would also get old quickly if he'd sell a new "exclusive" song every month. I might be wrong but I doubt money is his sole motivator at this point. And 10k isn't even that much if you compare it to the profit of one (successful) album or a tour, no?

    I'd say the sound effect about 43 seconds in kind of disproves that unfortunately, though it's pretty well done 

     

    Could be, but it doesn't disprove that it's the actual acapella. Listen to the officially released "Over Again" acapella of the Post Traumatic EP (for example around 28 seconds). You can hear similar bleeding artifacts that come from the headphones that the singers use while recording the vocals. This is actually pretty common in official acapellas (but barely noticeable).

     

    Edit: I am not sure how well people were able to generate acapellas from instrumentals back in 2005. I still think it's from an official source, but maybe I'm wrong.
