WE FUCKING WON! Whatever comes after, we now know we’re a force no one can contend with. And Brazil is about to become a gigantic sex party tonight.

New Acquisition: MoMA📍 I am thrilled to announce that the @MuseumModernArt has acquired the diptych of the Mother and Daughter from my Invisible Line series. It was acquired through the generosity of Lori Ordover via Kopeikin Gallery. I love to think about how these images and their story will now be preserved into the future and share wall space with works from many artists that have influenced the way I see the world.

Replying to @punk8164
@punk8164 nailed it. Bitcoin decentralized money. Ethereum decentralized finance. 6529 decentralizes coordination. Here’s why I’m all in, as a collector, voter and node runner 🧵 The Memes by 6529 | Play the Game | 2022 @simonemonte x @6529er Edition of 969
🔴GM friends🔴 Recently, I’ve received so many DMs and questions about the @6529Collections meme community, and especially TDH: What is TDH? How does it work? And what is the future of it? I asked @punk8164 , as he is a legendary Creative visionary , builder, and TDH Maxi. He kindly shared his article with me, and I copied the exact part from his article about TDH. You can learn so much about 6529 by checking out his main thread below: -Why do people mint meme cards? In addition to being amazing art and public goods, The Memes NFTs will economically secure the upcoming decentralized decision network (DDN chain). Total Days Held (TDH) is the key innovation that makes this possible. -What is TDH? When you support and hold public goods (The Memes), you earn TDH every day based on how many cards you hold and for how long. If you transfer a meme card out of your profile or sell it, the associated TDH goes to 0 instantly. TDH is well distributed, expensive and time-consuming to accumulate. -TDH already has several important uses. TDH holders curate The Memes, distribute REP and Identity Credits (NIC), and have important influence over areas like network growth, funding initiatives, and the 6529 Network Museum. Holders take these decisions seriously because accumulating TDH is a long-term commitment to the network. -When the chain launches, TDH gets another important use. TDH holders who run nodes will earn the network's native token (ticker TBD). There is no presale or insider allocation. All tokens will be mined by TDH holders running nodes. Each block, your share of newly mined tokens = your node’s TDH / total TDH across all nodes. You can think of it somewhat like Bitcoin mining, but using long-term commitment to public goods for economic security instead of electricity. It is quite possible the network launches with ~1,000 nodes globally, each represented by a unique individual because there is no incentive to split your profile. -TDH holders will also allocate funds to help grow the network. Rather than a CEO or investment committee deciding the growth strategy, qualified participants with enough REP can propose initiatives and TDH holders will choose where to allocate capital. More specifics on how this works will come when the chain launches.

in a flood of ai generated imagery, hand-made art feels increasingly radical.

GM SURVIVE, our new curation at Domínio PúbliCC0. Brazil knows how to survive: hyperinflation, currency changes, crises without warning, fresh starts nobody promised. We know the value of something isn't measured on its worst day. So we brought together 42 Meme Cards on survival: resilience, market cycles, and the artists who kept building when no one was watching. What in us holds on when the cycle turns? One card at a time, starting now 🧵👇

What a beautiful story! Let’s go!☺️🤍🙏🏻
Back in 2022, I created the Meme Card #19 “Play the Game” with @6529er for The Memes by @punk6529 It was such an honor and a joy ❤️ Now, in 2026, I decided to submit “Play the Long Game”. Here’s the story behind it ↓

Had a completely different post planned for today but here we are. "Hodl. Don't get shaken out" will be the next mint for the memes by @punk6529 This is my second card but it's most special because it's simply my art. An image taken on a stroll through the neighborhood on a random fall day. A solitary leaf defiantly holding on when all the others decided to give in. Grateful to the 68 people who placed a vote and everyone else who shared and gave words of encouragement.

Gm A little story behind Play the Long Game. One of the biggest challenges of bringing my street photography to The Memes by 6529 was CC0. When you photograph real people in real life, asking someone to release their image under CC0 is a big ask. I tried with several people I photographed, but understandably, no one felt comfortable with it. Until her. This photograph was already one of my favorites. I explained The Memes, what CC0 means and what it would mean for her image. She understood and said yes. It took time to find the right photograph and the right person. Perhaps fittingly, tattooed on her skin: “Dê tempo ao tempo.” Give it time. If Play the Long Game is selected to mint, she’ll also receive a share of the net proceeds. It makes me especially happy that it was this photograph. ❤️⚽️
