🔥 Kicking off a new @NeoTokyoCode lore post series
👀 I had my Hermes agent build an exhaustive Neo Tokyo Lore Library on my local drive in about 10 minutes
Posts, wiki pages, lore art, artifacts, mechanics, founder breadcrumbs, Citizen history, and cultural signal
Every morning, it suggests one piece of lore worth resurfacing
I’ll curate, edit, and post whenever it feels right
And yes, I know NFTs feel dead to a lot of people
You would be right to question why I’m still posting about an NFT project from 2021
I get it
It is a weird hobby
But I’m not here for floor-price nostalgia or old bag defense 😂
I’ve long since gotten over any speculative price dreams
I’m here because Neo Tokyo is still one of the best brands to ever come out of the crypto universe
The lore
The scarcity design
The identity system
The token mechanics
The founder breadcrumbs
The endless layers of story, culture, and game design
It never was just another static NFT collection, it’s more like a living cyberpunk city
That’s what I intend to celebrate
🤷🏻♂️ Take it or leave it, may the algo serve it up to whoever cares
But the mission is simple:
Treat Neo Tokyo like the living city it is
Not a “remember when” thread
Not floor-price nostalgia
Honestly:
Regardless of any crypto or NFT niche aversion you may have developed
To me this is a very worthy study in brand survival, tokenized identity, scarcity design, and lore-native architecture
Neo Tokyo fuses myth, mechanics, and community language in a way crypto still has not fully processed
So we’re going back through the archive
One artifact at a time
👩🏫 Today my Lore Librarian agent suggested this highlight to kick us off:
One underrated piece of @NeoTokyoCode brand design is how S2 onboarding still felt like entering a city, not minting a random NFT
Outer Citizens were not just “the next collection”
They were assembled from 3 separate components
👉 Outer Identity
👉 Outer Item Cache
👉 Outer Land Deed
Each piece added another layer of who you were, what you carried, and where you existed in Neo Tokyo
But the wildest part is the Item Cache
Before mint, Outer Identity holders competed in a PUBG tournament that helped determine the rarity of the Outer Item Cache they received
That is mechanics-as-lore
Your gear was not just metadata
It was connected to a shared community event, a test, a memory, and a specific moment in the city’s timeline
This is yet another example of why Neo Tokyo has always felt different to me
At launch, the brand did not just sell cyberpunk imagery
It made citizenship feel earned, assembled, ranked, discovered, and remembered
And that is much harder to replicate than art alone

@patrickjwitt He’s a dinosaur poster child of the last of the boomer old guard but with a heavy dose of straight up fucktard who delusionally believes he’s a tough guy
Chief dirty banking mfer Jamie Dimon wants a fight - let’s bring it
American citizens, write your representatives to let them know how you feel about Clarity Act
✊ @standwithcrypto makes it easy to write your representatives on their site
Do it now
JUST IN: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon lashes out at The Clarity Act, says banks are going to fight it and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is "full of sh*t" 😳
"We'll fight it. If we lose, we lose. It will be fought."
The Bankers are MAD they're losing.

Totally agree
I’m convinced Neo Tokyo will be studied in the future as cutting-edge brand design that fused emerging technology with myth, scarcity, identity, game mechanics, and community ritual
An outlier in a sea of copycats
Not just “NFT art”
More like a cyberpunk city people had to decode, earn, assemble, and inhabit
😵💫 Used to be that every deep AI thread or intensely technical tool post on X gave me a small wave of anxiety
"Ah shit, another thing to learn, another tool to master, another rabbit hole I don't have time for"
🔀 Now it's the opposite
"Ah perfect, another good one to bookmark, my agent will process it for me"
Here's my Hermes workflow that flipped the feeling 👇
1️⃣ Stage 1: Discovery
A cron sweeps my "AI Tools" X bookmarks every morning and surfaces the new ones
2️⃣ Stage 2: Process
A follow-up agent goes deeper on each post
Reads the thread, watches the video, opens the repo, cross-checks my current setup
Then writes the takeaways into a dated markdown file
3️⃣ Stage 3: Routing
Durable facts → long-term memory
Reusable workflows → a new skill
Runnable tools → terminal command
Everything else → searchable archive

🏆 The part I didn't expect:
When a post is vetted as something I can actually run
I get a ready-to-paste terminal block back
Paste it, tool installed, done
The agent stops describing and starts handing me the install

❌ Bookmarks stop being a pile of homework
✅ They become a knowledge base that gets smarter every day
This is what owning your own AI stack actually feels like
