Most People's First Transactions Are NFT-Related

It's not wrong to say that NFTs are carrying the crypto industry these days. Last year, 80% of all first wallet transactions were related to NFTs. We think this trend is likely to continue, with social media giants like Instagram and Reddit starting to introduce NFTs into their products.

NFTs are crypto's first mainstream consumer use case. The future ahead is bright.

Seize the Memes of Production

💲 What to know: The Memes by 6529 is an NFT collection that is focused on the fight for the open metaverse. 

This was conceptualized by @punk6259, an anon who is one of the most respected thought leaders in the space, with 420,000+ followers.

☘️ In the weeds: The Memes collection comprises large and inexpensive editions of artworks inspired by crypto culture, including "GM", "Wagmi" and "Seize the memes of production".

The Memes has worked with some of the best crypto-native artists to drop meme cards:

  • XCOPY

  • Alpha Centauri Kid

  • Alienqueen

  • Rik Oostenbroek

  • Arsonic

There has been a lot of attention on the meme cards lately, as 6259 has been dropping new cards at a frenetic pace. Collectors are buying these because:

  • The Meme cards are going to be a historical note on crypto culture

  • They are beautiful

  • Believe that punk6259 is going to be a force in the space for years to come

The most desired card today is the NakamotoFreedom card above, with a floor price of 26 ETH ($40,000). Thankfully, new cards are released at an affordable 0.069 ETH ($100) each. 

🤑 Why it matters: The high-level, abstract goal of the meme cards is to spread several simple messages to the world. For example, the "Open metaverse" cards reference how we should build toward an open and permissionless metaverse rather than one that tech giants like Meta and Amazon control.

All of the meme cards are CC0, which means their IP is in the public domain. Anyone can freely take the artwork and remix it, creating their own derivatives and products. The idea is to make it easy for people to do so the message gets amplified many times down the road.

WAGMI! (we are all going to make it)
