ossen, you came into this space making noise, throwing money around, and getting everyone’s attention. Especially that of artists who are struggling in this market, hoping for their next sale. And now you’re shitting on communities that took years to build. First it was Apes. Now it’s 6529. I can’t accept that. There are countless reasons why 6529 has been great for this space, especially for artists. Beyond the community of collectors and artists it brought together, it gave artists opportunities they might never have had otherwise. Artists received 50% of sales that often generated far more than their own independent edition drops. My own card (#77) sold out 500 editions in 47 seconds, generating over 130 ETH in secondary volume. That moment changed my life. And I’m just one of countless artists who benefited from what 6529 built. You can criticize the project all you want. Nothing is above criticism. But if you’re going to publicly tear down communities that have genuinely changed people’s lives, at least explain what you’re doing better. Because building something meaningful takes years. Shitting on what others have built takes seconds. So go ahead. Build something better. I’ll be waiting.

Let's call 6529 what it is. 🚪 Gatekeeping sold as curation. 🗳️ Ownership-weighted voting sold as democracy. ⛏️ A 50% mint cut sold as patronage. ⛓️ Dependence sold as opportunity. Call it decentralization all you want. The house always wins. 💀

What is happening over at 6529 is honestly blowing my mind, I haven’t been able to get it out of my head all day. @punk6529 is the real real deal imo. Incredible. If curious, lmk and I’ll fill you in as best I can.
