The Meebits event last night was inspiring to listen to and walk through the journey from inception to execution with @pents90 & @matthall2000
When you listen to these guys passionately talk about this project you understand how much attention to detail they put into this project. @larvalabs is always ahead of their time. And I think now’s the time for @MeebitCompany to shine.
Here’s why I believe that: Not only is @sergitosergito a responsible & respectable founder in this space, where his passion for this project literally took it over, but think about how ai is changing the game. Literally!
I predict we will be able to use ai to prompt games at a think of a button. What does this mean for Meebits? They are metaverse / video game ready characters with recognizable IP I think can grow as large as Hello Kitty or Pokémon characters have since our childhood. Yet, these are characters we can imagine and identify with. We become the characters themselves. We can prompt them directly into the universes and games we want to play.
Why not be your Meebit in Otherside, Fortnite, or any game you prompt in the future with ai? These are usable characters for animations, short films, podcast speakers, anything you can dream up. And! Meebits can are the perfect fit for your ai agent. There is so much potential here by the leading NFT artists who are in major museums around the world.
After hearing them speak on behalf of their artwork it made me see what’s possible, and what’s coming next. That being said, I am curious what Matt and John would create as a video game world for their beloved Meebits. Perhaps it’s time to build it, and show us the way!
After the event, the gracious @AdamWeitsman invited everyone to his building, where the walls in the lobby and gathering spaces were filled with paintings and photography like the a magnificent museum! Its an angel like Adam who make this community very special, and holding space for everyone to meet and connect in the real world makes the movement real. Thank you Adam for having us all over for a wonderful meal and most importantly giving us something to believe in. Friendship.
Whether you are an Ape, a Punk, a Meebit, or a Nakamigo. You feel like you belong. Because if you are here, chances are you do belong and are part the magic of this space that brings people together through the art we all love and cherish. The art that we will pass on to future generations. The art that connects us, that gives us hope.
Thank you Adam for being that beacon of light. Sergio for taking on this journey with you, and Matt and John for making art that brings us together in the first place. Art will always lead the way!
TRUMP PRIVATELY WEIGHS QUITTING USMCA TRADE PACT HE NEGOTIATED
🇺🇸 President Trump has reportedly considered leaving the North American trade pact
Trump has asked aides why he shouldn't withdraw from the agreement, though he has stopped short of flatly signalling that he will do so
The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement is set for a mandatory review before a possible extension on July 1, and if the countries agree to a renewal, the accord would remain in force for another 16 years, but if that doesn't happen, it could trigger annual reviews for a decade until the deal's expiration in 2036

I’m into sports collectibles, Kobe and punks, so getting this Kobe-8 Lakers-purple jersey/pant wearing @MeebitsNFTs seems natural.
Per @sergitosergito podcast/DM, meebits were intended as 20000 meepigs at one point. Snoutz logo (pig nose) is brand within that lore. A cool backstory. Pig is also self identifying, my birth year is year of Pig. (Also two universal constants, pi and g.)
Only this 1 meebit 8 jersey has upper and lower in matching purple away jerseys (without outer coat), very much resembling the player I love the most, Kobe. The pig nose and logo on jersey are also the infinity logo for Mamba forever.
Bald matches most of Kobe’s hairstyle. Headset is symbolic as Kobe listened to Michael Myers Halloween theme in headphone pregame, to get into k!ller black mamba mode. He was almost always the best player in each game most of his career and thus in headphone postgame for interviews.
Shoe color matches one of most iconic Kobe sneakers, Grinch. @CaitlinClark22 also made them even more legendary.
Color overall purple, fitting to the only background color too, and skin is also light pink/purple.
Rarity 810, 8 threepeat, and Olympic 10 jersey which Kobe helped to re-establish the dominance.
Item number 6814 which is addition 6+8 =14. Kobe both drafted and retired in years ending with 6, 81 point game is single defining pinnacle of modern basketball, 4 is Kobe’s all star MVP count, most and also the award is now named after him.
It has 4 traits in purple (1% or less), matching number of finals appearances in jersey 8. 5 traits in gold (5% or less), matching 5 rings. Purple and gold also Lakers colorway.
2024, 2025, 2026 (so far) have been three strong hobby years. All related to Kobe a bit, 24 is year of Kobe, 25 year of Mamba, 26 year of Horse (Kobe’s Zodiac 48th).
I have wrote significantly more lines in this post to match the significant more lines of codes for meebits by @matthall2000 and @pents90 of @larvalabs.
[Blockchain, 77/1959] 77 is Luka @lukadoncic, Kobe’s protégé and he scored 73 points on Kobe’s 81 day, second highest modern score.
Hearing Matt and John say that Meebits are the evolution of everything they learned from creating Punks was one of the highlights from Node weekend.
Take a listen 🎧
I have been thinking about the puzzles within the Meebits collection lately.
There is a long standing thesis that the tattoos within the collection have a deeper meaning. There has been some decoding done on the Visitor Meebit tattoos that has so far lead to the message "LARVA L". But for nearly 4 years that has lead to a dead end.
One interesting thing is that a female Meebit has the possibility of a single arm tattoo whereas the male Meebits always have a double arm tattoo. 🤔
With AI I wonder if we could put together a group and solve this puzzle once and for all?
***Fun fact. Did you know the Meebits tattoos are generated using the Autoglyphs algorithm? Matt and John put so much thought into each and every aspect of the Meebs!
There is a 1 of 12 full camo hoodie up Meebit (#6728) listed for 2ETH right now.
Only 4 of the 12 have ever traded hands.
If you have been waiting for a grail Meebit to hit the market this is a really rare opportunity.
Would love to see it go to a loving home. ❤️
