To sweep lowest 50 listed KYC would cost $42.5K USD right now.

👀 KYC meets CMYK
@jackbutcher’s rotating portrait teaser looks like KYC meeting the printing language of CREDITS
His site lists KYCM under “Built on Balance”, while collectors are asking whether their existing portraits could evolve
Meanwhile, CREDITS floors:
▷ Overall: ~0.0062Ξ (~$14), +7.9% since yesterday morning
▷ Top 100: 0.05896Ξ (~$132)
▷ Top 1,000: 0.0248Ξ (~$55)
▷ 4 Eights: 0.419Ξ (~$936)
▷ 3 Eights: 0.0287Ξ (~$64)
▷ 2 Eights: 0.0125Ξ (~$28)
45,920 CREDITS have already been burned into Statements, 37.59% of the original edition
Art becoming material for more art is the connection I’m watching
A new chapter for the original 565 KYC portraits, or a separate work?
Could KYC ownership play a role in BARS casting?

Jack just updated the Exchange page, and it says a lot.
New section: "Balance is a material. New work is being made from it."
Two works listed:
01 Bars (11/11)
Balance sealed into numbered objects. Bar #1 holds 1 Balance, Bar #369 holds 369, each in its own vault. Minting runs 8 days. After the close, only the owner can melt a Bar, so every Bar is always worth at least what it holds.
02 KYCM (coming soon)
Shown as a KYC head printed in full CMYK ink.
Look at the name.
K, Y, C + M = CMYK.
KYC was always three of the four printing inks. Adding M completes the set. The collection was always one letter away from Jack's color system.
The arc keeps tightening:
Payments → Credits → Statements → Balance → Bars → KYCM
Balance isn't just a token anymore. It's a material other works are built from. Every new work that uses it gives it more reasons to exist.
Live from the page:
• 36,383 wallets hold BALANCE
• 198 of 305 auction buyers still hold 90%+ of their claim
• Jack's sound-money scorecard: 15 hold · 3 partly · 2 not yet
Still early, and liquidity is thin. KYCM details are still to come. But the direction is clear.

Not financial advice. It's an art project.

How much $BALANCE does it take to cast Bars?
Bar #N holds N BALANCE. So the total locked grows fast as the numbers climb:
Bars #1–100: 5,050 BALANCE (~$113)
Bars #1–500: 125,250 (~$2.8K)
Bars #1–732: ~268,750, the entire launch auction
Bars #1–1,000: 500,500 (~$11K)
Bars #1–2,000: ~2.0M (~$45K)
Bars #1–3,000: ~4.5M (~$100K)
Bars #1–5,000: ~12.5M (~$279K)
For perspective: about 17M BALANCE has been released so far, 31.7% of the 53.75M max.
Casting the first ~5,840 bars would lock up every BALANCE released to date.
Bars #1–3,000 alone would lock about a quarter of it.
Each bar sits in its own contract. Melt it anytime to get the BALANCE back, so a bar is always worth at least what's inside.
Casting is open for 8 days.
Prices at $0.0223 as of post.
