in a collection that in case anyone has noticed has send thousands of ETH to new and unknown artists
100% consistent with my views
exactly the type of things that I have been saying for the last 4 years
what has been absurd the last 20 minutes is I am saying totally normal, things
it is fine to like other art
it is a free country
I do not give a single hoot if anyone likes the same NFTs as me
and I expect the same in return
I give everyone the courtesy of assuming their views are in good faith
I did not say "well, you are just saying that @[Sert] to pump your bags of your NEW artist friends"
but you know what I did not do
I would actually be delighted if this is true
who are the new wave of NFTs
and if you think there are great new artists with great new collectors
insinuating things
sure, knock yourself out
if i was saying "we should buy my 3rd cousin's impressionist collection"
if there is literally one NFT that this collection has paid homage to it is the naka
for the least plausible bad faith idea anyone could have around here
is that I am softly being accused of bad faith
what I am reacting to is
obviously @[Sert] you can propose whatever you want the museum to show, with your own persuasion and if you get the votes and the ETH, I will be delighted. this is normal and what I want to happen
will be because people voluntarily put their money where their mouth is
will be because people voluntarily put their money where their mouth is
and if the museum has any money to do it
what the museum will do will be decided by tdh
my friend, i have not made any decision about anything
The point isn't the Naka Card, the point is that you want us to buy Rare Pepes and generative art. Why that specifically? If it’s supposed to be decentralized, you shouldn't be guiding our choices I know Naka is 300, etc. I know generative art and Art Blocks represent a major milestone. But to someone who is just trying to enter the ecosystem, this could very well just look like "bag bias"
you have a great way of showing it
personally, there's a lot to be done. and i'll be the first to say that its wrong of me to attack you. but i also want more of these interactions. both here and in the 1m chat.
it is not my fault that people have Wrong Thought (tm) ser
dude. you;'re on the defensive and its not a good look.
wtf is wrong with everyone today
yes, the card that is explictily the homage to naka has nothing to do with it
6529er's naka is the most valuable for a whole different reason. u of all people should know that
they avoid having to participate in this thing that I am forcing them to participate
lucky for them!
lucky for them!
and most artists won't ever get minted into the memes. what's your point?
why is it behind the scenes
Ok but 'directing' these funds from behind the scenes still constitutes an extraction
it is such a shame that I personally go to artists' homes and force them to submit meme cards
you guys are still taking 50% of artist work. for what exactly? there's like 3 devs...
like seriously wtf
and the reason our most valuable card is ALSO the naka
is to match the naka
that the reason we have a minimum edition size of 300
you have 4 years to notice that I think the Naka is so important
2/ i can't believe I am being accused of shilling now, on May 27th, 2025: a) the first NFT in the world +/- and b) the one that The Memes is explicitly structured around
1/ first of all, there seems to be a huge confusion about where the money is coming from. it is going to come from a meme card that someone voluntarily mints or a donation or some other NFT that someone voluntarily mints. so nobody is going to have their money redirected to a NFT they disagree with
You missed the point; it’s not about the 30 ETH for the Naka of Bats. If we are going to launch a museum fund, we need to ensure that the funds aren't being directed toward X/Y collections that one person or a few people want. This is a systematic risk for the fund, not just about the individual Naka card.
and they are 2022
the memes are the youngest collection in the top X and XX collections
are these new NFT enjoyoors in the room with us?
New NFT enjoyors will disagree and we‘ll have to accept it
what is with you guys today?
me: we should buy a Naka because it is the foundational NFT, that this whole collection is an homage to
sert: you are just saying that to help bats sell his naka
david: so we should buy all 1776 rare pepes out of the gutter
Yes but rare Pepe’s are hard to buy and have no liquidity. You’re saying that we should be buying all of them out the gutter basically?
and I am saying Pablo Picasso is a Cubist and Roger de La Fresnaye is also a Cubist but nobody is confused about who is more foundational to Cubism
i understand Sert is saying that maybe rare pepes are important but many people don't know then and who knows if they are in important
so what? what are u saying?
as xcopy said "every time you have a good idea in NFTs, go check to see if RPs have already done it"
they are foundational to the NFT space
