Speaking out against dishonest actors has cost me friends, collectors, and most OG artists do not interact with me anymore. I rarely post art for sale, but have minted a couple pieces to superrare recently. If you are someone who appreciates me speaking out and could afford to collect a piece, it would be extremely helpful. I have a somewhat important issue I need to take care of and it requires a relatively cheap airfare plus fee for my dog and I have been avoiding trying to raise the funds to go and deal with it and I don’t really know why because dealing with it will essentially alleviate most issues in my life and is probably critical in having the best odds to beat my case and avoid prison.
Anyway here is what I have minted

Everyone wants to be early to something special.
Being early to NFTs changed lives, not just financially, but culturally. It gave people a sense of belonging. A place among cypherpunks, builders, artists, collectors, and cultural obsessives who saw something before it was obvious.
But being early also meant being contrarian.
It meant getting laughed at. Being dismissed as a nerd in a basement, or humored like a curious kid playing with internet money. Conviction came before validation.
Today, we’re in a similar place, just a different chapter.
NFTs are beaten down. Written off. Scoffed at in most circles.
Sure, a handful of pieces, XCOPYs, Punks, Beeples, are worth thousands or even millions. But zoom out. Those are exceptions. The entire NFT market cap is still smaller than Pepe coin. One of the smallest sectors in crypto, powered by one of the most diehard communities on earth.
Things are bad. And honestly, they could get worse.
This is still a young industry. Not a newborn anymore, but far from mature. There are real risks. Real failures. Real noise. Yet despite all of it, people stayed. Builders kept building. Artists kept creating. Collectors kept collecting.
Institutions showed up. DAOs formed. Billionaires participated. But more importantly, a core group of true believers never left. Companies filled with people who’ve poured years of their lives into this space quietly emerged, learned, and evolved.
If you ever wanted to be early to an emerging asset class that still has a pulse, one where curiosity matters, where participation counts, where culture is still being written, then you’re already here.
Be selective with your time. Be disciplined with your capital. But don’t stop researching. Don’t stop browsing. Don’t stop enjoying the chaos, creativity, and weirdness that NFTs bring.
That’s where the signal has always been.

wouldn't it be something if full collections became a thing and those scarce supply factory series from early creators had their day in the sun
most entertaining outcome - etc., etc.

Capping the ArtBlocks collection at 500, creates a time capsule of some of the earliest on-chain generative works in one clean, soon to be complete, collection. This body of work can be now studied, analyzed, dissected and collected in many different ways. It also potentially creates a vehicle to advance the genre of Generative Art. Perhaps a museum or institution will want to showcase this collection to save this moment in time. The possibilities are exciting to consider. However, those possibilities also mean that there’s a fair bit of risk. @artblocks_io was a destination and a launching point for Generative Art, exposing many, myself included to this genre. I’m not exactly sure what the future holds for Art Blocks and generative art but I know @ArtOnBlockchain isn’t going anywhere and still feels passionately about this space. Excited for the next chapter.

ANNOUNCEMENT: THE ART BLOCKS 500
5 years. 500 projects.
@artblocks_io readies for five upcoming projects, scheduled to conclude at number 500 in November 2025, in line with their 5 year anniversary.
2 Curated releases and 3 community-focused Explorations will celebrate this era of on-chain generative art.
The foundational 500 will be preserved as a finite set, giving way to new generative art approaches that build on the first era.
Stay tuned. Details and initiatives are incoming.
