Hi everyone,
so here's a little something about me..
Im basically a doctor, who loves treating her patients dearly yet has always had a passion for making beautiful art- even more so than meaningful art (yes, guilty as charged!)
In order to promote our book 'The Antifragile Bazaar' we have been interviewing Meme Maxis, it has been quite an experience to sit down with some of the smartest people in the meta.
Today we have the founder of "Maybe's Dive Bar" and builder Extraordinaire 'Maybe'.
6529 Network : Beneath the Jpegs
@opensea acquiring cultural pieces that are foundational pillars of a Network State couldn't have come at a better time. 6529 Memes have been active for over three years, but it's only recently
that 'Brain' the Decentralised Decision Network taking shape over at 6529 dot io has matured into not just an art curation engine but the best place to discuss all things life.
Along with steady feature development and product improvement there is an active, intellectually engaged community discussing not just memes but broader implications of decentralization, AI, identity, longevity & beyond.
Yet @punk6529 seldom posts about it.. the reason, he feels if someone is looking hard enough for the right reasons he will find us.. A clear example is this acquisition, there was an internal discussion whether we as a community should push OS into buying the Memes but crypto is cringe enough and shilling has never been the approach of the 6529 community.
6529 has consistently resisted the urge to over market. This is not a product built for rapid mass on boarding, it is being built for long term alignment.
But If this OS acquisition has you interested in the Memes it might be rewarding to invest in understanding the core ethos and the action points beyond just buying a jpeg. The current action points to join the Movement are
Setup your profile at 6529 dot io
Acquire a few Meme Cards
Start Building TDH
Engage with the community
Build REP
These are not just points they are emerging forms of capital in a new cultural economy.
However, If your risk tolerance is low and instead of being early you would rather invest when the project is mature. The true metric of success in my opinion will be to see how TDH and REP are applied beyond the Memes. That will be the defining test, how the framework expands into adjacent domains.
For three years, the community has debated artists, supply mechanics, and curation. The next phase will reveal whether that maturity can translate into real world influence and decentralized capital allocation outside of the Memes
So whether or not you buy a Meme card is your decision but opting out of the conversation at 6529 dot io is no longer viable for anyone serious about freedom - decentralization.

@_DeadGrass_@weremeow @insomny735 @TastyJelly_@irieZer0@TommyEgan357 True I would never have spent time & effort at Mockjup had meow never mentioned it .. was kinda sad that he wants to back off completely but knew that ain't happening .. founder energy is a thing 😎
People forget that decentralization is a process not a switch. Early stages are bound to be imperfect, decentralisation takes time.
Current DAO votes are training wheels for the bright future ahead hardly a display of perfection. Iterate, survive till 2030 and surely power shall be distributed away from the 3 people you secretly despise.. Expecting perfection on day one is frankly naive.
my personal goal is for JUP to become the social money & currency for a global jupiverse
to do that, we need to build the infra, tools and channels for web4, a world of million chains, billion people, trillion tokens.
there is a fuck ton of work to do to get there on all fronts, and i am fully, completely aware that we are far from that right now.
but i am all in, regardless of ups and downs - we will learn from all mistakes and get it right.
An algorithmic solution to the bull & bear Taking the art out of the card, I know its blasphemy but still worth delving into
There is a supply dynamic to the Meme Cards which might come in handy anon.. Future Meme card supply is based on number of cards minted in the previous epoch (subscriptions more on that later) but the important part is knowing how far on the curve are we from the Naka threshold..
The half promise is each Meme Card drop shall be > 300 the Naka Card Threshold..

In Szn 2 due to insane demand cards went > 2k in supply, gas wars erupted. What is the supply in the current Szn 11 310-330 not a bad time to test the water probably..
But can we really leave the art or the artist out of the equation, imagine missing out on a Xcopy or ACK drop because you were bothered by supply engines be running hot..

There are levels to this play all thoughtfully curated, studying about them is definitely fun and might be rewarding..To find out more join the Meme Maxis at 6529 dot io
The process
What does Solemn mean here when he says "Cast your Vote"??
Unlike most of crypto lands flash and crash plays, @punk6529 is aiming to build a smart social decentralised curation process.
1. Most artists like Solemn are first convinced by Meme OGs to create a profile at 6529 dot io
2. Once the profile is created the artist has to achieve 50k Rep specifically with the Title Meme Nominee (People can Rep you under 'Batman' that would be cool but won't count for a card submission more on that later)
3. The artist introduces themselves and their work to the Meme community which for an established artist like Solemn is easy and the Rep is gained almost instantly
4. Then comes the real work crafting a Meme Card, Once completed the artist submits in the channel "Meme Main Stage" and then the fun begins..
5. The Meme community specifically those who hold Meme Cards can vote with TDH (see previous post for more on that) and the card starts to climb up the ranks to a countdown finalised weekly..
6. The winner gets to drop a Meme Card and join the ranks with Meme artists like Xcopy, ACK, Deekay along with many other greats.
It truly is exceptional and aligned with all that crypto at its core represented. Create a profile at 6529 dot io and see for yourself the magic taking place..
@vibhu@jup_uplink@rganizedgeneral In general a JUP maxi and a Drip lover as well but probably some intense discussion regarding distribution got me blocked .. never abused though
@vibhu@jup_uplink@rganizedgeneral Hey Vibhu, can you do a blanket unblock please, some JUP maxis and Ex cNFT haters are unable to get through to you .. 🙏🏻
@vibhu Hey will really appreciate if you can do a blanket unblock .. my alt account is blocked by you probably because of my opinion on cNFTs but never abused and always a JUP maxi
@farcaster_xyz Yes please!
Had already made an account after a friend invited and paid the annual fee in 2024...after factory resetting and reinstalling the app, now I can't log back in as it says FID not verified...any help would be appreciated @farcaster_xyz
