@ChrisF_0x pre-CGI claymation-style steampunk swag was on another level

@fizzywozzy The Gods: Here's a cheat kit of S tier swag Perseus: I'm going to carelessly lose all of this stuff

@ChrisF_0x Not exactly a perfect match, but I think I mentioned to you that I really enjoyed goodreads.com/book/show/2260…

Need a beach read for next week and decided I'm in the mood for John le Carre meets Douglas Adams. If such a unicorn exists, please let me know.

@xPeaceLandBread Same about Martina Navratilova 20 years before Serena

I am old enough to remember when dainty pale tennis players said Serena Williams was too masculine and had an unfair advantage despite being drug tested 4x more than her peers and never failing a single test.

@xPeaceLandBread When/if you have kids, take that feeling and multiply it by 100

I love my gf more than anything in this world, I truly think if every human being alive was just a bit more like her this world would be astronomically better, but got damn man she’s been out of town for 6 hours and it feels like I’m on vacation

Traits Council meeting today at 12pm ET this is a community-led initiative to identify and catalog emergent traits in CENTS if you're interested in taking part and aren't already part of the group, reply here and we'll invite you

@shibboleth88 People talk often about product-market fit, but in terms of art-medium fit, it doesn't get better than CENTS

An interesting quality of CENTS perhaps is that it's part of the artwork to imbue the humble penny with value, just as ordinal theory serves to imbue the humble sat with value. The full reality of CENTS is just beginning to unfold.

CENTS as a store of value. A thesis: -BTC is the leading SOV asset: BTC is the largest digital store of value asset in the world, worth over $1.4 trillion+ w/mainstream adoption and record ETF flows. -Ordinals are early: Ordinals started only 1 year ago and their market cap makes up a small fraction of the market cap of ETH NFTs. -ART on ordinals is early: The main Ordinals collections are still PFPs, as they were for ETH when it started. Top ordinals art collections are at 1/50th to 1/100th the market caps of top ETH art collections. I'd expect this gap to narrow dramatically for select collections as ordinals get more widely adopted. -CENTS is a timeless and iconic artwork: Putting 10,000 cents on 10,000 sats is a historical gesture that will resound forever. It embodies the essence of what an ordinal is, imbuing the humble satoshi with timeless cultural value. The price of a US penny, copper, BTC, a satoshi, and a CENTS ordinal will now be linked for all time. it's an artwork that will remain relevant, historical, and important for centuries. As @thearchivist said, CENTS is 'artistically insane and perfectly executed'. If you doubt that and see it as low effort, just ponder collecting, sorting, and archivally documenting 10,000 copper coins, and sorting thru many more to get there. It is not for the faint of heart. And this collection will be forever dynamically changing and growing in relation to circumstances. The worse inflation gets, the better the art. The worse the capital controls and digitization of fiat, the better the art. The higher the BTC price rises, the better the art. And when the penny is eventually discontinued, the art becomes all the more historic. And if the price of a CENT rises, the more hilarious, absurd, and potent the art + memes become. -CENTS has a top-tier collector base: Some of the best collectors in both the ETH NFT and Ordinals communities own CENTS. This includes OGs that minted Cryptopunks and bought Lost Robbies for a few ETH, curators at @artblocks_io and @FingerprintsDAO, people like @ChainLeftist @plutoniumfitzg and @SuperRareRoses and @cl7official on the ETH side and those who helped bring Ordinals into the world on the Ordinals side, such as the visionary @InscribAtlantis and @realizingerin -CENTS spans all major collection types: CENTS functions as a generative art collection, crypto art, a PFP for identity, and as collection of digital artifacts. It is also 100% onchain. -It has fine art appeal: CENTS is fine art, made by an established artist that has exhibited at top museums around the world for over a decade. His work is admired by crypto artists such as @SHL0MS and also those working to bridge trad art and digital art such as @sebastianss527 Fittingly, he is not just an artist but an artist-collector: "Rutherford Chang works with well-known pieces of culture, devising systems to collect, edit, or otherwise re-contextualize them to reveal underlying meaning." -CENTS has crossover appeal both inside and outside of crypto: Already I've observed the collection to be loved by both crypto purists and a broader mainstream and trad audience. This a very rare and valuable attribute for a crypto project. This kind of crossover appeal isn't new for the artists. He has large amounts of press from leading publications (Nytimes, BBC, Guardian, etc) for his artworks which have already gone viral, so this is not unusual for him. Google it. -CENTS has emergent rarity traits: As an age-old collector item, pennies have great quantitiative and subjective rarities. Rares in CENTS are sought after by collectors and provide clear value segmentation within the collection. Like what happened with The Goose in Ringers, the community is coming together to name their grails. Already we've seen rares going for ~50x-100x the price of floor CENTS. In this case the algo is time and life itself, painted on the fixed canvas of a CENT over 100+ years. -10,000 Supply size: 10k is a sweet spot for a thriving community and for achieving broad mindshare, yet small enough to remain very scarce longterm. 10,000 pieces has worked well for CryptoPunks and Chromie Squiggles as bedrock SOV assets of the NFT and Gen Art communities. It also enables the scale and liquidity optimal for a SOV digital collectible. -CENTS has potential to become a leading Ordinals ART collection: Based on the above factors, imo CENTS has potential to become a leading art collection and SOV asset on BTC. Given that its market cap is just 1/100th of the leading ETH collections, this is no small thing.
