Hearing Matt and John say that Meebits are the evolution of everything they learned from creating Punks was one of the highlights from Node weekend. Take a listen 🎧

I once took out a girl from work who had a boyfriend for coffee. She’s now my wife.

Punk 3443 has a new bid of 15000 ETH ($18,241,049.38 USD) placed by 0x629d66 cryptopunks.app/cryptopunks/… #cryptopunks #ethereum

ALLOWLIST RAFFLE (75 spots) Seize the Meebs of Production! Card 1: “Nakameebto” Edition: 550 Cost: 0.05e Mint date: Jan 19th Platform: @manifoldxyz Follow @seizethemeebs, RT this post and drop you full address below 👇🏽:

Dad's car broke down so I just sold an NFT and sent him the money to buy a new one. Kinda crazy that a JPEG is going to materialize into that.

1/ Thrilled to announce we’ve acquired @MeebitsNFTs! Personally, it’s a dream come true, and I’m honored to steward and develop the Meebs into the future. Huge thanks to @CryptoGarga and @yugalabs for the transaction, @1confirmation for the funding, and @DayOneLaw for the counsel. Meebits have been my Roman Empire since 2021, and every member of the MeebCo team has been just as enamored from day one. We’re beyond excited to unleash their full potential and cement their rightful place in the canon of digital art, NFTs, and network-connected objects.

Olympic Games results quickly show you that this math doesn’t hold up

*BREAKING: OPENSEA LENT USER’S BORED APES TO THREE ARROWS CAPITAL. NFTS NOW BEING SEIZED AS PART OF HEDGE FUND’S LIQUIDATION.

"no one cared who I was until I put on the yaps" 🤣 @KaitoAI

NFTs = tokenized tribalism Creators / Collectors / Investors who understand that will win Technology that enhances human nature always comes out on top

Never thought I would do this but drop your ENS below👇🏽

If you had invested $100k in @awilkinson's company stock on Jan 22, 2021 you would have $13k today. If you had invested $100k in Punks on the same day, you would have $1mm plus 12 Meebits. Now let that sink in Andrew!

6 followers to 10k. Should I just give 1 ETH to my 10,000 follower?

GUYS! IT FINALLY FUCKING HAPPENED!! The waiter complimented the BAYC hoodie and said “NFTs are the future”.

Next idea: Community-owned NFT Bar in NYC to provide a HQ for the community. We could fund it w/ 250 Owner Tokens at 4eth per. OT's come with certain perks (free drinks/venue use for events, etc). Eventually we could use the profits from the bar to buy back the OTs. Thoughts?

You’ll be fine! Taking new folks for coffee is industry standard. I’m sure your girl knows she’s already hit the jackpot with you.

BTC dumped during BTC Miami. NFTs dumped during NFT NYC. Everyone enjoy their weekend at ETH Denver 😅

I need a @MadLadsNFT. 500 likes on this tweet and I buy one.

Just found this account with 17 Zombies 😳. They havent touched the LarvaLabs website in 3 years but on-chain activity points to them being active in DeFi last week. Incredible. Hats off cx000.eth whoever you are.

1/ It's been a wonderful week for the @cryptopunks community and we got to add to the celebrations by co-creating 3 all-Punk @MuseumModernArt postcards 💌. Our cards travelled a combined 290k kilometers, the equivalent of more than seven trips around the planet!

WELL THEY SAY YOU NEVER FORGET YOUR FIRST TIME AND ILL TELL YOU WHAT... I WILL NEVER FORGET MY SECOND TIME BUYING MYSELF BACK EITHER. Honey @MrsSergito, I'm home!

Seems like a perfect moment to resurface this one @RaoulGMI 🥳

I have accumulated 81 NFTs over the last month. Will I break 100 by the end of March?!

I think one day people will look at @SeizeTheMeebs cards and appreciate that it’s the first large project that used @yugalabs IP outside of the Ape ecosystem. @MeebitsNFTs are the sleeping Yuga giants with @larvalabs provenance. I’m excited to add a chapter to their story.

Thanks everyone for the love and support today. Truly means the world 🫶🏼. I’m looking forward to sharing the vision and plans for Meebits and MeebCo. I’m truly humbled at the opportunity to develop the incredible IP that Matt and John created. Seize the Meebs!

Holy fuck. 10k. Y’all did it. Imma give away a bunch of my NFTs because y’all deserve them. Love y’all. Thanks @Cooopahtroopa for the boost!!

So fucking tired of it all. The greed. The nonchalantness. The short-term vision. The lack of loyalty. The “heads I win tails you lose” mentality. The illusion that you care. The pretentiousness. The hypocrisy. The lack of decency. I’ll still be here but making it my mission that when the bull returns everyone knows how much of a piece of shit some of you are.

Translating "real" life stuff into ETH is hilarious: - Avg monthly rent in Manhattan = 0.95e - Monthly MetroCard = 0.32e - Dinner/wine for 2 at Per Se = 0.6e - Lease payment on Range Rover = 0.28e - Montauk house rental in Sept = 6.5e - Blade chopper service to JFK = 0.05e GM!

Yup

Over the last 45 days, Yuga Labs founders tweets about: Meebits: 0 Goblins: 2 🫡

Paging @dieworkwear

JPM equity research is adding an NFT weekly spotlight to their Financials note!! And ofc they’re kicking it off with @BoredApeYC

I’ve wanted this bad boy since I first saw him years ago. Welcome home #1462!!!

1/ I just lost my forever Punk. 😭 This was totally my fault, I noted my @NFTfi loan due date wrong (tomorrow instead of today) and didn't get any notifications until it was foreclosed. This is totally my fault but I am devastated.

Sold my BAYC two weeks ago, hadn’t really bought any NFTs since then. Agreed with @KeyboardMonkey3 that market was frothy so I sat on my hands. Besides, I was on the road for work and very unplugged so that helped. Today is different though! I feel a shopping spree coming 👀

gm - My family is hurting right now due to a series of tragic events that happened last Friday back home in Texas. I need to raise a lot of liquidity to help out, and so I’ll be listing some of my vault NFTs. Unfortunately the things I’m most bullish on are those that have the higher values so that’s where most of the sales will come from. Life is so fragile. Went from having an incredibly fun time last week with NFT events to waking up to the worse news I’ve ever received. Sadly, there’s not much I can do to help other than provide financial support, which I’m lucky to at least be in a position to do so. It’s incredibly tough to see people you love go through dark times without being able to do absolutely anything about it. Every minute that passes is excruciating and unfortunately it’ll be a long road, so I’m just going to quadruple my focus on MeebCo to help pass the time. If I own any NFT you’d like to chat on please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks.

Not For Trade @beeple @muratpak @Mad_Dog_Jones @Hackatao @fewocious #NFTs

“NFTs are dead” but in the last 24 hours BAYC announced an Amazon partnership, Pudgies teamed up with Kung Fu Panda, Birds have a sick ComplexCon booth, and the Meebits collab with the Hundreds is about to sell out.

1/ Folks complain about collectors not being able to tell which pieces are highly technical or show greater talent yet they do nothing to educate the space. 95% of us here were just degens trying to make a dollar flipping shit before falling in love with the art. Help us help you.

Honest question from someone with like 95% of their assets on-chain. What happens if the electric grid goes out?

Cryptopunks in Times Square! @saveartspace @justinaversano @larvalabs

First ever Meebits exhibition in the books! Thank you to @larvalabs and @artblocks_io for hosting us at Larfa. Shout out to all the collectors who ordered their 3D prints and contributed to the exhibit. Massive gratitude to @yekiM_o, @lifeofc & @justinaversano who put in the work setting up the display. I’ll have much more to share in this week’s Voxel Journal newsletter, but for now I just want to say GRACIAS to everyone who’s played a role in and supported MeebCo along the way. Meebits are Art.

Gonna age myself here but the idea of partying with a bunch of dudes making monkey noises on a boat during the sluttiest night in NYC is just not my idea of fun. I guess we truly are built different 🤣.

Meebits at 1 eth = intrinsic value of being a @larvalabs token. If you're in the "never fade Yuga" camp, or just genuinely believe that they'll be able to execute on the Otherside, then Meebs have the highest risk/reward by far. I honestly don't even know how many Meebits I own across my wallets, mostly because I dont want to think about the opportunity cost I've incurred 😅. I added another one tonight and will continue to be their biggest fan, which also means I will always speak my mind about both the good and the bad. I'll leave you with some of the things Garga shared in the Meebits Discord last month:

Patience paid off... been lusting after this piece for a few months, even had 2 sellers back out of trades a couple of weeks ago. However, I am psyched to finally add "Dead Ramen #33/67" by @Mad_Dog_Jones to the collection tonight!

Next time someone questions the metaverse as our collective future just show them this. nitter.app/RaclureOne/status/1741…

Love you all but damn y’all psychotic. Went from hating on big brands to worshipping Adidas and talking shit about Nike to saying no IP should be protected to buying copycats to now eagerly awaiting Nike metadrip. All in the course of 5 days. Let’s face it: it’s all about the 🤑

1/ Open questions for @ryancarson. You told @Zeneca_33 you asked Kro to come in as Proof COO in January to help him grow the company. Then you said that not even 3 full months later you left on your terms bc the company was on its way to being a "multi-billion $$ company"...

After 12 years working im TradFi, tomorrow will be my last day working in Wall Street! I’m going to a digital infrastructure firm next to help onboard the world onto the blockchain. AMA 👇🏽

✅ Mom signing the contract for the property 🙌🏾

Fock it.

An NFT event in an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. Curated group of artists and collectors. No panels, only guided round tables. Beach sports. Live minting. Who’s in?

Let's talk the elephant in the room: MONEY. 1. It is clear that the pool of capital in NFTs is growing much slower than the supply of NFTs, even at the high-end of the spectrum. Not only that but also there has been a lot of $$ lost due to the hype-doom cycle we have seen.

I’m building an army

Update: After 3 years, today is my last day at @FireblocksHQ. It has been an amazing experience and I’m grateful to our founders Michael, Idan, and Pavel, as well as to all my colleagues, clients, and partners who shaped this period of my career. Watching Fireblocks grow from $700mm to $8bn valuation in under a year is something I’ll never forget. Going from less than 100 employees in WeWorks to a global office presence across four continents taught me a lot about hyperscaling growth. I can’t think of a better place to have started my web3 career after a decade on Wall Street. I’m so proud of the team we built in Latam during my first year, and all the seeds we planted in web3 since then. I’m honored to have led deals with the largest investment bank in Latam, one of the largest fintechs in the US, one of the most prominent museums in the world, and one of the largest publicly-listed video game companies. I’m also grateful to have worked alongside an incredible team in helping companies from all industries secure their wallet infrastructure and their entrance into our space. Impossible to get that kind of broad exposure anywhere else As for what’s next? Well this is an announcement of an announcement of an announcement. I look forward to sharing those with you in the coming weeks. For now, we do a little gratitude and wish my former colleagues all the success in the world. Gracias!

Haven’t had this level of engagement since summer ‘21. Leave the bear market PTSD behind. Most valuable collection on Solana is trading for same price as a Mutant. That doesn’t make sense. Early ETH NFT vibes.

Latinos make up 19% of the US population but I only count a couple in the NFT100. Let’s get those numbers up next year! We need a true diverse and inclusive web3 community.

Lol looks like Jimmy only got paid enough to use the Ape as pfp for a week 🤣

Is this your first big sell-off? Welcome to markets, it is a rite of passage. It sucks to see your portfolio down so fucking much, I know. It was much better when "up only" was in effect. I wish we could've had this chat before but here we are now. Here are some observations:

gm! Maneebfesto update: 1. Nakameebto holders as of 8am EST yesterday will be airdropped a Maneebfesto over the next 24hr. 2. Minting of remaining ~2000 pieces will open on Tuesday Jan 24th for @MeebitsNFTs and Nakameebto holders. Times TBA. Have a !meebin day 🫵🏽

This is how we build

This has been one of the happiest weeks of my life. I’m extremely grateful for everyone who took time out of their day to message, post, call or pick up a Meeb. Thank you to the Meebits community, my team, and our partners. Y’all are awesome. Gracias 🙏.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. Are you this old anon?

When you see all the mfers that were making fun of the Banana Zone at the beginning of 2024...

Wish you a good retirement from the NFT space @_dotpigeon but at least own this shit man, what a bad look. Claiming the "trends and market dynamics" are "not what [you] signed up for" while you were one of the artists who used these mechanics the most and made millions of dollars with them. You write that "there are too many unhealthy dynamics and too much emphasis on sales and gimmicks" and I question if you looked at any of your last drops which included ALL kinds of mechanics like multiple OEs into burns, ponzinomics (buy the first three to qualify for the 4th), and the one pictured below where the actual artwork was directly TIED TO THE RESALE PRICE. Everyone feels burnout at some point but this attempt to ride out on a high horse only leads me to believe that there will be an attempt to come back when the market turns. I hope for the longevity and sustainability of the space that folks do not reward this kind of behavior then.

The DeFi mullet might be a meme for now but I firmly believe it is our future @bankless

Yuga Labs is the world’s first NFT treasury company. Their balance sheet holds: - 414 CryptoPunks - 11.2k Otherdeeds - 805 Meebits

Matt and John approved ✅

Planning the next launch: BrunchSrategy™️ @Rhynotic

Bought 1e worth of $TURBO. Will hold to $100mm market cap. Will sweep @SeizeTheMeebs floors with proceeds.

This year had been WILD! Thanks Bloomberg @BW for the feature 🤩 bloomberg.com/news/features/…

This dude scammed a lot of people out of millions a year ago with his OEs and fabricated pumps and dumps that hurt artists. I know everyone wants to make money but supporting this grifter ain’t it. Retweet for awareness.

Moonbirds cope reminds me of Punk cope about Apes. There’s a whole new cohort of collectors in the space and the “old guard” is about to get left out. I made the mistake once. Never again.

If you have a Nakamigo please DM me your Telegram handle if you’d like to be added to the Punks group chat.

I’ll admit today has been the first day that I feel FOMO about BAYC. Maybe it’s the suits, but never before had I seen so many other projects band together to celebrate an auction like this. It’s awesome. Let’s not forget, there’s Punks and Meebs at the same auction, we all win!

No disrespect to the people I met on Wall Street but y’all got nothing on my ETH friends.

... but I can and will do everything I can to help Meebits win in the Meme meta. "Seize the Meebs of Production" -- mint coming this week. Already got some dope artists lined up. Thanks @PepePawnShop and @punk6529 for the inspiration!

Toledo wow

We are at the Napster stage of Web3. Most of you don’t remember the agonizing 2hr wait to download a MP3 while praying nobody called your housephone so the internet stayed connected. Imagine where we’ll be in 2-5 years 🤩

Haven't felt this excited about a personal endeavor since the days I first walked on the trading floor at Goldman Sachs. The thrill of experiencing new challenges, the excitement of putting it all on the line, and the joy of working on your passion. Let's fucking go!

Close to three years in this space and it just hit me how we’re all like one big, sometimes disfuncional but mostly united, family. It’s amazing how while we might not know each other personally, we’ve all experienced, enjoyed, cheered, regretted, mourned, and celebrated together. Births, deaths, falling in love again, heartbreaks, huge wins, dumb losses, and everything in between. In the spirit of @gmoneyNFT’s Sunday gratitude, today I’m grateful for all of you 🫂.

Checked some of the public wallets owned by Apes who loudly declared they weren’t minting the Adidas NFT as they saw it as a “cash grab”. Avg. balance: 0.07 ETH 🤣

Lmao

Was told I wasn't cool enough tonight, so I joined the @coolcatsnft gang

As I start thinking about 2022, my main goal will be to step outside our little echo chamber and work towards onboarding the next million people. Who’s in and what are we doing to accomplish it? cc: @punk6529

1/ Excited to share that I’m joining @ThePunkDAO Ventures as a it’s newest member and that Punk #6507 is now part of the DAO’s treasury!

I’ll be honest, Bored Apes are my favorite Punk derivatives

Maneebfesto @SeizeTheMeebs UPDATE: - Minting of the remaining 2500 cards will be postponed until further notice. - We' ll give everyone 24hrs of notice before the next mint, go enjoy your weekend. - Nakameebto holders as of 8am EST today will get a guaranteed Maneebfesto mint

gm from Punk #1462 Poor guy didn’t get to tan this summer while locked away in our vault

1/ Since y'all asked and it's kinda cold to go outside, here is a thread with my favorite Meebit traits + combos. Starting with the ultra rare types, since most people are unaware of them. There are 5 Dissected, 18 Visitors, and 57 Skeletons. These are your Alien/Ape/Zombies.

Told mom her Ranita appreciated by 100k pesos in 48hrs, thinking she might want to sell it (that’s a lot of money in 🇲🇽)… She responded with this picture instead 😅. Ranita is part of the family now hahaha she had shirts made within a few hours of the purchase!! @cryptoadzNFT

So much @niftygateway FUD from people with agendas. Trying to scare both artists and collectors. Let's be real, the NFT space wouldn't have grown as much as it has without NG. Period. Oh and the artists? Yup they've done pretty well, collecting $174mm on NG so far. 1/n

NYC is the capital of the NFT world @MrsSergito @dave_krugman @DrifterShoots @mattmedved @bryanbrinkman @aubreystrobel @coin_artist @katrina_arman @thenftattorney @RonenV @dannycoleee @allnick & friends!

Not one to boast but sad to see folks underperforming due to their inability to see beyond their bags. One thing I learned at Goldman was that you’ve got to trade the market that’s in front of you, not the one you wish existed. MEEBSTR is the only strategy with an active flywheel management mechanism. That might change for others down the line but the fact remains that you’ve gotta play the cards that are dealt, and there’s only one game in town beyond PNKSTR.

Nobody likes paying the highs but as I was learning about different Solana NFT projects I couldn't stop thinking how I paid the highest-til-then floor price for my first Punk. It was 6.1e (~$11k). Punks hit $500k six months later. Wish I had even more liquidity to play in Solana but let me know how I did for now @quekz_ @tensor_hq @BoDoggosNFT.

I love y’all but every crypto conference has the exact same panels with the exact same people talking about the exact same topics. Oh and you can hear all these folks’ views on your friendly neighborhood crypto podcasts from the last month or two. This is the definition of an echo chamber.

Would love to see @ethereum // @ethereumfndn showcase @rektdrinks, a brand built from an ETH NFT project. Fastest company to sell 1mm drinks in history, putting ERC20s and ETH-native IP into thousands of people’s hands. This is how we build.
