“New Chapter”
After being mostly a PFP guy for years I’ve decided to be carefully curating some heavy art pieces.
Starting today with 2 acquisitions from a friend and also an insane artist @lphaCentauriKid.
1) The Broken Keys - “You mustn’t pick the purple flowers”.
This is considered a highly sought after piece and glad I got my hands on it.
2) ACK editions - Aerial Screw (1 of 14)
I just love the flow and the looks of this piece!
More to come
Ken Griffin on France and socialism…
"Paris should be a real wake up call to every single American. Government spending is 60% of their GDP. It’s the socialist dream the left talks about. That dream comes down to how much you can take from others. It doesn’t belong in America."

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY TO THE DOOMED BY @XCOPYART 🎂
On 21st October 2018 the first ever edition of The Doomed was minted on KnownOrigin for 0.075E ($15.36 on the day!).
The description included with The Doomed is just one sentence: “Tech won't save us.”
Minted as an edition of 100, it famously took 434 days to sell out, and has since become one of the most recognisable and storied works in digital art
Well known collector @CozomoMedici once called it "a piece of the bedrock of the cryptoart movement". It’s also one of its most valuable editions, with the most recent 3 sales averaging over 40E each
The Doomed is owned by many of the most prominent collectors in the space including @sqda@RaoulGMI@thedoomedxyz@Jediwolf@punk4940@punk8164@l1qu1d_@TokenAngels@Punk8868@CryptoTaxGuyETH@VonMises14@maxand98@Scott_Steger
...and has been held from mint by many prominent artists including @artplusbrad@Hackatao@theYRDGZ and has inspired derivatives by other artists including an epic recent drop by @0x8BitArt
It was also the inspiration for the dedicated XCOPY DAO aka The Doomed DAO (where almost 200 collectors co-own The Doomed)
Fun fact: edition #1 of The Doomed contains an error in the name of the artist - "Divo_Tvurce" instead of XCOPY like the other 99 editions. It is speculated that either KO made an error or that XCOPY was minting under a pseudonym and then changed his mind after the first mint was sold. Maybe XCOPY can finally tell us?
Fun fact #2: only 7 editions of The Doomed were minted in 2018, making these extra collectible and almost impossible to find!
The OG Doomed was followed by a number of colour variants including the iconic mono 1/1 on SuperRare (bought for $74 and still held by @MLOdotArt), and three more KO mints including the ultra rare x/6 Green & Black Doomed, x/10 Red Doomed and x/15 Red & Black Doomed
Art historian and XCOPY patron @maxand98 wrote a marvellous article on the evolution of The Doomed from 2013 in XCOPY's Tumblr blog, its essential reading for all collectors: https://t.co/5pfzQLEKRi
Editions #1, #2, #24 and #36 of The Doomed are proudly in the Pella Collection along with every KO variant💀💀
