Gary Gensler wants to kill your NFTs
Calling them securities in an attack on crypto artists.
Starting today, we fight back.
I’m teaming up with @beeple, @UNFKearth and YOU to deliver 100,000 signatures to the SEC, demanding they keep their hands off our JPEGs
And Beeple will immortalize it in an Everyday 🖼️

## BACKGROUND - AN ASSAULT ON CRYPTO ART ##
Since 2016, creatives around the world have made a living selling original art via NFTs.
On Aug. 28, 2024, Gensler sent a Wells notice to @opensea saying he views these artworks as securities.

If Gary isn’t stopped, thousands of artists who make a living from NFTs will no longer be able to support their families.
That includes artists you and I love and support. It may even include you.
Mark my words: If Gary gets what he wants, digital art ends as we know it.
And if NFTs are securities, then what's next? Beanie Babies? Baseball cards?
The funny thing is, only a short while ago, Gary said most tokens were not securities.
Now, he carries the water for corrupt bankers and politicians threatened by crypto's rise.
And with this latest action against NFTs, he is doubling down against crypto art.
We speak for all when we say: we are fed up.
Now, we fight.
Here’s the game plan and how YOU can help...
THE CAMPAIGN:
1) Sign the "NFTs are not securities" petition, to let them know we’re ready for a fight
Do it anon or doxed. We’re gathering 100,000 signatures to demand the SEC stop the investigation into OpenSea, and make it clear NFTs are NOT securities.
2) Put Gary in the hot seat by reporting him to the anonymous SEC Employee hotline
We think it's time to report Gary to HR once and for all.
You can make a 100% anonymous complaint against Gary on the petition page we've made
Write how you feel about Gary (can be funny or serious, but CAN'T use violent or racist language).
UNFK will have the funniest complaints read in Gary's voice at his office in DC (yes, you read that right)
And in this fight for freedom of arts, we’re deploying the most potent weapon we have:
Art itself.
The gran maestro @beeple will be monitoring the complaints you write to Gary Gensler.
And has offered to put the funniest into an Everyday.
That’s right… your words could be immortalized… as we call out Gary for harassing hardworking artists.
3) Share this post and campaign to spread the word
Once you’re done, come back here and blast this post to EVERYONE.
Actually, do it right now.
Repost it. Comment. Text it to your grandma.
Let’s take the fight to Gary Gensler and the SEC.
Scroll up, sign the petition now, and let’s get to work.

1/ Two essential reasons why "chain agnosticism" is a flawed concept for digital art:
First, blockchains are time machines. They compute a new valid state from block to block.
This state is in many ways analogous to the history of an artistic medium. Past works of art that touched the chain shape its relevance in an unique way.
Autoglyphs changed the cultural state of Eth forever, as did Terraforms by @mathcastles
Honored to be included & feel especially blessed for @michaelspalter to have written about my work in the @TASCHEN book "On NFTs." Coincidentally, Gazers with the 2006 origin moon "First One Person Show" are celebrating today, reminding me of paths that precede such milestones.🙏

When everyone will be able to “create” everything effortlessly, very few people will make the effort to learn something. Then we'll all be morons...
Oh wait...aren't we already?

We are honored to announce that Autoglyph #25 (donated by us), and Cryptopunk #110 (generously donated by our friends at @yugalabs) have been acquired by @CentrePompidou for their permanent collection.
Yet, finiliar themselves do not exist in our world. The sculptures, the NFT collection, and the coming apps (iPhone & Apple Watch) are merely windows into the finiverse.
We are learning more as time goes on 🔍
