Let's call 6529 what it is.
🚪 Decentralized curation like nowhere else
🗳️ Ownership-weighted voting
⛏️ A 50% mint cut towards building decentralized infrastructure for network states
⛓️ Artist support the project by submitting JPEGs
Soon decentralized. The network always wins.

ossen, you came into this space making noise, throwing money around, and getting everyone’s attention. Especially that of artists who are struggling in this market, hoping for their next sale.
And now you’re shitting on communities that took years to build.
First it was Apes. Now it’s 6529.
I can’t accept that.
There are countless reasons why 6529 has been great for this space, especially for artists. Beyond the community of collectors and artists it brought together, it gave artists opportunities they might never have had otherwise.
Artists received 50% of sales that often generated far more than their own independent edition drops.
My own card (#77) sold out 500 editions in 47 seconds, generating over 130 ETH in secondary volume. That moment changed my life. And I’m just one of countless artists who benefited from what 6529 built.
You can criticize the project all you want. Nothing is above criticism. But if you’re going to publicly tear down communities that have genuinely changed people’s lives, at least explain what you’re doing better.
Because building something meaningful takes years. Shitting on what others have built takes seconds.
So go ahead. Build something better.
I’ll be waiting.
I see aligned incentives here.
Those with the greatest stake in the collection bear the greatest cost of poor curation, and benefit from its long-term success. That doesn’t guarantee good judgment, but it’s a reasonable basis for giving their votes more weight.

In 6529, the “gatekeepers” are the community of holders who minted or bought cards, along with winning artists who received them for free.
Decentralization isn’t about giving everyone a vote. It’s about fair rules that apply equally to everyone, with no central authority enjoying special privileges. Equal opportunity, not equal outcome. This is exactly how I would describe Bitcoin as well.
6529 isn’t a communist society built to support artists. It’s a network state designed to grow itself while funding public goods, including art, software, science, research, etc.
The tech stack includes its own censorship-resistant coordination app, a novel decentralized decision network, and a growing set of smart contracts, including new ones designed to increase artist revenue.
The goal is to be the third most decentralized chain at the launch of the network by independent validator count (coming soon!!). This is a beautiful ambition which should be supported not torn down.
IMHO, 6529 has delivered more value to more artists than any other platform. Yes, the network takes 50% to fund its own growth, but it has no VCs or special insiders to fund it. The Memes is the only funding mechanism for the network state and mints are open to anyone with an internet connection.
Also, once the chain is live next year, the broad community of aligned TDH holders who have participated in the open minting process or artists who have won submissions will control that treasury together.
I look forward to valid criticisms of the network state from people looking to improve the project. To criticize you must first understand. I see a lot of the criticism. Very little understanding.
I’m sure we will see many good ideas from community members, artists and builders as the project grows.
Also, gmarfa

It was always clear that in the end the machines would be the major user of crypto. A few more years and we are there

Got to hang out with @AdamWeitsman before the doors opened.
We had a deep conversation about art, legacy, and the future of the space.

DALL-E's Revenge by @lphaCentauriKid
Released July 14, 2022, in an edition of 420 for The Memes by 6529. A robotic arm rewrites “seize the memes” as “seize the humans,” while the walls ask: “Where are my royalties, anon?”

I can't really think of a more dehumanizing job.
You just sit there in a catatonic state, knowing that your existence is utterly pointless.
You're being paid only because some pseudo-progressive isn't creating enough to actually solve the automation distribution problem.
Instead of a municipal wealth fund or a state endowment to support you, so you can spend time with your friends, family, and developing useful skills, the best these politicians can do is paralysis.
They will ossify civilization with their stupidity, spinelessness, and lack of vision.
Post-Labor Economics is the only way forward.

More people starting to understand where the actual lasting culture of NFTs primarily lives, and that is with cryptoart.
For those that say 'but all of this is already too expensive', I implore you to take a venture onto 6529 dot io. Join the network, the conversation, browse the art.
The quality of work for the current price of editions in The Memes by 6529 is unrivaled.
