Gm!
I love creating. When my mind is free and inspired I make beautiful things, or deep things, sometimes both; and they all come from truth, be it my own, or of those I work with. Never in my 12 years have I created with the intention of selling…
But having your work collected is even more important now that we are all bound to this great invention, Ethereum. So I’m making a promise to myself to do better and share more of my work, so that collectors can learn more of what is beyond the obvious memes, at the root and spark of my creation. Do you want to see more, know more of my work on 𝕏? Help me here, please, if you can, because centralized social media doesn’t like it and it’s painful to throw art into the void.
These are some of my available works in the Portraits collection.

What is 6529 (Currently)?
6529 started of with an NFT collection and a vision, that vision is an evolving masterpiece where the destination is somewhat known but the path is ever changing for it is shaped by participants..
So what is 6529 currently, to me it's a funding mechanism for ideas or even a place to claim funding after showing proof of work..
An example is @sertx92 who built a decentralised news protocol for 6529, which was minted as a meme card. Payout for getting a card minted is around 5 Eth currently.
Another example is @HugoFaz, who has worked hard to make an IRL museum for decentralised art in Sao Paulo a success. In recognition the 6529 Network came together and approved funding not once but multiple times after Hugo shared updates regarding the project.
Bottom line is no matter what line of work you are in, if you are one with ideas the best place to discuss them is over at 6529 dot io.. Meme Maxis look forward to hosting you at the bar.

Meme Foundry started with a simple idea.
Connect good ideas for 6529 with people who have the time and skills to execute them.
The Memes can be difficult for outsiders to understand. Even for insiders, good ideas often remain unrealized because the right artist, builder, or collaborator never sees them.
Meme Foundry is designed to help solve that problem via The Forge and The Casting

12/ FUN WEEKEND THING - SEE YOUR IMAGE AS PERFECT DESIGN THEME
This weekend, to help anyone paying attention "get" 1939 more I'm going to pick 5 images from anyone who replies with one below 👇 and run them through the 1939 pipeline.
You'll get to see your image transformed into a complete, publication-ready design system theme — palette, tint ramps, color roles, the works.
I am even happy to prepare agent-ready brand files based on your image so you have all the swatches.
Drop your image below in this thread!
9/ This of course only applies to some images in the 1939 Flagship Collection.
Not to the Memes collection, which is and always has been CC0.
CC0 is a license type that says artists retain no rights. Anyone can come along and remix, re-mash, use as is or modify for commercial or non-commercial or any purpose and attribution isn't even required (though nice to do so).
CC0 is the most "permissive" license because creators retain no rights and release everything into the public domain.
This is part of the magic and brilliant contribution of the 6529 creator community to the world, and an amazing early design choice by @punk6529 and the entire team.
@DCinvestor Lol it reminds me of hilariously insane neocon Brazilians migrating to Paraguay to “escape” Lula’s government, sounding like they’re moving to Switzerland or something.
my crypto investment thesis is rather simple:
Ethereum is the only smart contract platform that takes the blockchain trilemma seriously, aiming for security, decentralization, and scalability while upholding the cypherpunk ethos of neutrality and self sovereignty.
It was slacking on the scalability aspect for a while but that is now the primary focus without sacrificing security or decentralization. The current incremental steps have made transactions affordable now. The zk-rollup-ification of L1 in the roadmap will make it ultra scalable, too.
Dumbchains are not interesting as they have no on chain economies, and vc corposlop smart chains are cynical extraction machines.
Ethereum alone points to a brighter future that takes the masses some kind of power or agency back from the ever growing corpo fascist trend the world is moving to. When ETH does well, the entire industry does well, and vice versa.
No other blockchain ecosystem has people willing to fight for it like Ethereum, evidenced by the multitudes of devs and projects who choose to work on it without needing to be lured in by VCs and fat cheques.
These very qualities that make it appealing to cypherpunks also make it appealing to institutions as time after time, they prefer to work on open and neutral systems rather than closed/proprietary or biased ones.
Sure we all have nitpicks about the EF, myself included, but to their credit, they have cultivated an ecosystem that people care about beyond just pumping bags. It has a soul in an often soulless industry.
If ETH fails, then crypto has failed and the world will be a materially worse place. Call me naive or dumb, but I’d rather fight for something worthy of fighting for than succumb to a nihilistic stance focused solely on self-enrichment.
In short, it is the only chain/ecosystem in the space that isn’t garbage.
