hehe see? I told you Respectfully ma'am, you have no idea what we're doing! When you say "the top TDH wallets," do you mean the people who've collected the most and held their collections for the longest time? You're looking at one tiny piece of the puzzle and judging the entire thing based on that! Maybe nobody's ever properly explained it to you, but you're in luck now, because I'm gonna explain what the 6529 Network State actually means, with all the humility in the world, and in a language you can understand! First of all, I'd like you to go back and take another look at everything we value at 6529. If exploring this ecosystem feels too complicated, I'd suggest reading @punk6529 's pinned post from beginning to end. It covers the different areas that define our values. But I've got my own perspective to share! The Memes by 6529 isn't just about putting artists' work onchain as a tokenized art collection. In fact, the artists and their work in The Memes are the backbone of this entire network! We're building something that goes way, way beyond an art gallery or a curated collection! And the beautiful thing is that it's completely open-source, free, CC0 and most importantly, built around the principles of decentralization! Why does that matter? I'll explain more :)) Step by step. Why do I believe in punk6529? Long before punk6529 had a platform or anything to sell, a reputation had already been built in a completely different way! Punk spent an enormous amount of time collecting artists' work and a LOT of money too! Way more than you lolol But it went far beyond simply being a collector. Punk brought collectors/builders/creators/and many together, organized a free NFT course at the University of Nicosia at 2022 and gathered some of the best people in the space to educate others properly. some really incredible things happened back then. You weren't around to witness them, dear, but if you wanna get a feel for the vibe of those days, check this out: oncyber.io/6529om (BTW, since you're such a big fan of ACK, you should definitely check it out!) Anyway, a lot of time has passed since then. plenty of accounts say all the right things. Some are great collectors, some genuinely love NFTs, but what made punk6529 different? Punk actually took action! The Memes by 6529 was born because "Who controls the memes, controls the universe", Because we believed memes could play a meaningful role in communicating ideas and not just within some tiny corner of the internet, but on a global scale! you know even Elon has posted memes, right? But was that all there was to it? Absolutely not! That was just the point where we started figuring out exactly what we needed, while running into a thousand different problems along the way. problemss ? yes! BTW, do you know what a GAS WAR is?! That randomly came to mind because I remember how everyone used to complain about it. Well, what happened? Today, we have one of the fairest allowlist systems for collections! I brought up gas wars because back then people were constantly complaining about gas fees, minting, and all that stuff. But we've since built some really useful solutions, like Subscriptions! Go explore what that is, lol. We've already solved a thousand problems like this in our network :) So what did 6529 actually become? Just another NFT collection featuring artists? Or another platform like Discord? No, my fren! PLANS MEASURED IN CENTURIES!!! What do you mean, Meysam?? YES, MA'AM! REALLY! PLANS MEASURED IN CENTURIES! We wanted to build a system with a strong, resilient structure that could keep functioning over an incredibly long period of time. A network where, as I mentioned, artists and collectors were the first communities to become active. They were the ones who formed the backbone of this network and helped it grow! And in the future, we'll see how this ecosystem expands to include entirely different communities. That's exactly why I keep saying we're not just another community built around a PFP/NFT collection. We're a NETWORK in every sense of the word. Right now, you can find pretty much every artistic style and medium imaginable within The Memes. We have participation, coexistence and so many incredible artists who've submitted their work. And we're taking a step that's infinitely important! Something the world has never seen before! How? Because we're decentralizing decision making! Yes, decentralized decision making in a decentralized structure! And now we've finally reached the point where I can tell you to go read about the concept of a Network State. Because that's exactly what we're building here. A DECENTRALIZED NETWORK STATE! Hahaha, do you know why everyone kept telling you decentralization matters in their posts? Do you know why decentralization has become such a personal concern for me, especially as an artist? For the exact same reason I explained in my message to you, the one you didn't even bother to read! YES! Go read that damn message and understand what I've been dealing with as an artist because of OpenSea's completely centralized environment. Seriously, read that damn message and put yourself in my shoes. I promise you'll become a massive supporter of decentralization! Anyway, back to the point. I was saying we're building a Network State. By the way, do you know Balaji? Do you know what Steemit is? Do you know what Hive was? Do you know what happened when Justin Sun hijacked the Steemit Network because it wasn't sufficiently decentralized, causing an entire fascinating community of creators and writers, built by people from Reddit and Medium, to fall apart?! Because the backbone of their entire ecosystem depended on something that could be taken over relatively easily, with devastating consequences! TDH, though? Fucking genius! But is TDH alone enough? NO! And that's exactly why we have things like REP, which represents reputation; NIC, which relates to identity verification; and XTDH, which reflects your participation in other NFT collections as recognized by their own communities! And these are just the tip of the iceberg. Come over here and let's talk more about TDH: 6529.io/waves/b38288e6-ca9d-… I'd love to tell you about validation. I'd love to explain the vision for the future of coordination between humans and AI. I'd genuinely love to write another ten pages so you could fully understand what I'm talking about. But here's the thing: Everything I've written to you so far is about what we've ALREADY BUILT AND DONE. Not what we're planning to do in the future... Now, if you want, come hang out at dive bar and we can talk more about this whole TDH thing. Maybe I'll even manage to convince you to buy a few Memecards and earn some TDH! Oh, and by the way, I'm not a whale, and I've never even submitted a Memecard myself. All of this is coming from someone like me! and future? see you in last day in 2027!
