@FAKERARES_XCP I'm honored to have been mistaken for DAVINCI9 the drawing could actually be a bit misleading 😂

[subterranean @subterranean_1]

I have known of this card's existance for years but couldn't inform anyone "officially". I will be forever grateful to @nathansonic for reaching out and offering me the torch. And now, some lore for this hand-drawn masterpiece by @ciobooo written by the man himself.

"It is said that among the lost sketches of Leonardo da Vinci there was an unusual study. Not a flying machine.
Not an engineering design. But a creature meant to fly through the skies and collect value scattered in the air. For centuries this drawing is said to have remained hidden inside an old cabinet in a Tuscan castle. Until today. Its name is PEPELEONARDO (A11102426886564262683).

Originally conceived as the fifth and final card of the Italian Rare Pepe series, it was created as a tribute to the greatest inventor in human history and to the most revolutionary innovation of our time: Bitcoin $BTC.

Leonardo imagined machines that could make humans fly. PEPELEONARDO imagines something even more crypto-native: our beloved frog flying across the skies of the blockchain, intercepting lost sats drifting through the mempool and turning Renaissance genius into pure decentralized energy.

The card was minted in 2019 in only 100 copies. It will never officially enter the Rare Pepe Directory. And most collectors will probably never have the honor of truly seeing this forgotten ancient drawing. Yet for seven years it has been there. Silent. Hidden. Watching the world without almost anyone knowing.

Just as I rediscovered it in an old drawer, someone actually found it on the blockchain… Hidden inside a $xcp Counterparty wallet. Because that’s how legends work. They stay invisible for years. Then one day, someone finds them." 🐸

[CIOBO🧱 @ciobooo]

@subterranean_1 @Bociociobo Small extra fun fact: Pepemacaroni, it’s also a nod to a legendary scene from Italian cinema. In An American in Rome (1954), Alberto Sordi finally gives in to a plate of pasta with the iconic line:
“Maccheroni, you provoked me… and now I destroy you!” 🍝

[subterranean @subterranean_1]

Today's Rare Pepe Set Lesson™️ is the Serie Pepeitaly (Pepe Italy Series) by @Bociociobo. The set consists of Series 13, Card 45 - PEPEMACARONI (1/150), Series 14, Card 28 - PEPEDAVID (1/150), Series 15, Card 23 - PEPEBERLUSCA (1/177), and Series 18, Card 3 - TOWEROFPEPE (1/1,173). None of these are for sale as of this writing. A PEPEMACARONI last sold in 2025 for $120 USD. A TOWEROFPEPE last sold in 2021 for $23. A PEPEBERLUSCA last sold in 2025 for $201 and a TOWEROFPEPE last sold in 2021 for $23.

The holder count on these cards range from 32 to 39 wallets and only 6 wallets hold the full set.

You may notice that at the bottom right of each card it says "x/5" meaning there should be 5 cards total. Without saying too much, something may be happening soon™️ to remedy that.

Being Italian, it makes sense that ciobo's set deals with Italian themes. PEPEMACARONI is an original drawing that was composed by ciobo and drawn by his friend DOPEart. It features Pepe eating spagetti (an Italian staple) and quotes an Eminem line "mom's spaghetti" and features an Italian flag with the PEPECASH logo in the center.

Next up is Michelangelo's David turned green and face swapped with Pepe. The text "symbol of strength and beauty. Rare since 1501" is a nod to the year the marble statue was made.

Third is PEPEBERLUSCA which features a green Silvio Berlusconi the three-time prime minister of Italy. In the original image, he is making the mano cornuta (horns) gesture which ciobo animated. And his lapel pin was changed to a PEPECASH logo. Berlusconi's nick name was the Knight and was embroiled in a series of scandals involving private parties at his residences that the media dubbed "bunga bunga parties".

Ciobo told me he minted 177 of the card because "in Neapolitan cabala "77" represents women’s legs, and Berlusconi was famously a lover of women."

The forth and final card (for now) is TOWEROFPEPE. 1,173 of these were minted as the Leaning Tower of Pisa was constructed in the year 1173. This card features a famous photograph by Martin Parr which was included in his book "Small World". Ciobo humorously added pepe heads and the fake statistic about pepes dying in the glass maze located near the tower.

I Bought 250,000 sats Worth of Rare Pepes

No, that’s not a typo.

That’s roughly 420 different Rare Pepes. Enough to fill a rare pepe wallet with stacks of Rare Pepes from 2016 - an asset the cryptoart community prices to near zero since its inception.

Most people would call it pepe madness.
But let me explain the thesis.

Each Rare Pepe is valued at the current rate of the memetic market - no matter how high Bitcoin climbs. That means every green frog time stamped in an OP RETURN locks in memetic magic for life, immune to NPCs.

Historically, pepe mania has risen steadily with the market - from negative zero in 2016 to just above zero now, a substantial increase. The creators burn some of these Pepes annually due to near zero demand, no KOLs, and declining memepool volume. They've proposed switching to Bitcoin SV and Ethereum, but for now, Rare Pepes are a time stamped rare relic in an abundant digital art world with rare provenance, and hilarious takes on the world at large. Created at a time when experimentation and fun was the motive- that’s super rare.

So what happens when meme art accelerates, or some knucklehead spends .00021, .0067 BTC or more per rare pepe?
These 2016 rares become the last batch of early artist-issued cryptoart at today's locked-in value of near Zero. They'll vanish from circulation as people hoard or burn them - just like pre-2021 Series 1 rare pepes did when NFT prices soared. Those who stockpiled are currently working in a McDonalds.

My 250,000 sats position, therefore, isn’t a “hobby.”

It’s an asymmetrical bet that Rare Pepes will outpace the dollar, that physical galleries endure in a digital age (think Pepes In Paris, playing cards, and paintings), and that a stack of rare pepes will one day buy me a rare pepe themed bathroom with a rare pepe sculpted toilet that acts as a frog spitting bidet.

Worst case? I still have worthless Rare Pepes, backed by the full faith and insanity of early memetic art, made by a group of degenerate gamblers who stumbled upon generational zeros.

Best case? Rare pepes double, triple, or get a wing in the White House - making the existing supply deflationary and far more valuable to collectors, kevins, and anon whales alike.

It’s not bonds, it’s not gold, it’s not even envelopes.

It’s 420 rare digital meme art works in a Bitcoin wallet that proves how alpha a collector one is.

That’s deep value.

That’s the Rare Pepe Standard.

@QuintenFrancois When she realizes you bought $LINK during the ICO

[Sergey Nazarov @SergeyNazarov]

I think the technical term to describe this situation is "now we're cooking with gas"

I wonder what happens when the world's largest financial institutions decide to go on-chain because being on-chain becomes a "national priority".

Seems likely they will need a secure and reliable way to utilize various kinds of data on-chain to build their financial products. I can also see them needing a reliable way to interconnect all their chains to transact in a secure, compliant and efficient manner accepted by regulators. Something like what TCP/IP does for the internet, but built to handle cross-chain transactions and able to work for institutional systems/use cases.

It might also be nice if they had a simple development environment from which to manage all this complexity, something like a runtime environment that makes it easy to rebuild all their existing financial products and transactional flows on-chain. If that development environment was already integrated with their existing standards like Swift and their existing CSDs like DTCC, that would make it a lot simpler for them. If only there was a single platform where they could get all of these key building blocks to work together in a secure way...

Exciting times ahead.
