A teacher gave a balloon to each student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed up all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their own balloon.

Today I birthed the rarest check ever made. Maybe the rarest that will ever exist. With the exception of a potential Black Check. Four 1-band grandparents. 2 of them gradients. 30+ ETH in grandparent value. Read below to learn her story 👇

At this point you've probably heard of #ChecksVV, @jackbutcher (@visualizevalue)'s homage collection to @elonmusk's $8 @twitter checkmark initiative. Read along and enjoy this quick 🧵 on why I think it achieved PMF & and a synthesis of the best tweets and derivatives to date👇

When @coinbase IPO'd I held off buying the stock until I felt I was getting a good deal. When I finally bought $COIN at $48 in the deep bear my target was to 10X -- sell at $480. Now that we are close to my target, I realize Coinbase is so much better positioned than I thought.

#Opepens have gotten "cheap" enough again that I decided to sell a @cryptopunksnfts, and throw 70 ETH into a @sudoswap linear pool to buy up to 200 if price continues dropping all the way down to 0.15 ETH. Send the frogs to papa.

Today I was explaining to some normies that not all NFTs went to shit. Collections like @cryptopunksnfts have NFTs going for $10M+ still. A cousin proceeded to send me a picture of an alien and said: Please accept this as a gift. I sent him a screenshot of my bank account and

Is it acceptable to the NFT community if I right click save this beautiful Checks 14 original and hang it on my wall if it existed at one point but doesn't exist anymore cause it got burnt down to a 1-check?

Falling more and more in love with this baby. If I had to pick only one to put on my wall, it would probably be this. Reflected, IR, Forty Color Band. Pretty high rarity.

If you're into the algorithmic art of Checks I'm sure you've been asking yourself how inheritance works. If you feel like compositing checks but are afraid because you don't understand the genetic algorithm, this 🧵 is for you.

A glimpse of some of the beautiful 80-check originals that survived today's massacre. Each one has a special reason it wasn't burned.

Now is a moment better than ever to pause and reflect on what @visualizevalue has pulled off in the last 4+ months. Three revolutionary projects, each in their own way, very well thought out, artistically and technologically unique, and flawlessly deployed. .

Our architect who knows nothing about NFTs and therefore has no idea about the significance of this baby here did a post-op walkaround visit today, and paused when she saw Air. She said, this is another level, and stopped to take a picture. Bravo @jackbutcher

#ChecksVV has given me a lot. In honor of #SuperBurnSunday I'll gift an Opepen to the person with the best guess of how many 80-check originals exist 24 hours after the burn is activated:. 1. RT this.2. Comment the guess and address below.3. Address must own a #ChecksVV or deriv.

@_lukeweaver_ @realCalitri At last, the final version of #14 is born. I am now told he is green. Bright lime green. I love the contrast with the black and I think it's the first 1-check of its kind. Now, it's time to name it. What do you think the name will be?

It's happening. @LooksRareNFT higher organic market share is jumpstarting $LOOKS buys. Flywheel effect jumpstart:. higher price --> higher ETH value wash sales --> more rewards --> higher apy --> fomo buys --> higher price

Just realized that when Check family trees become visualizable, the ingrained value of having lower order checks will become very explicit. If u buy a 1-check u are essentially buying 64 visualizable NFTs & its entire family tree art. Like buying a compressed version of a bundle

Prediction on @visualizevalue (@jackbutcher)'s #Opepen pfp collection:. PFPs will be "face-looking" by reorganizing circles. 1 NFT will be enough to have a Opepen pfp. But we'll have burn mechanics such that the more Opepens you "merge", the nicer looking and richer the "face"

Will never cease to be amazed at how illogical human instinct is. When Opepen was at 1e, fomo hit and degens were running to buy all the way up to 1.15e. Now Opepen is half off and those same degens are selling and/or not buying. Same collection & fundamentals, more established.

Guess what was lying on the 1-band floor today?. A 1-band that mated with one of my 1-band gradients to make the first ever 40-check 1-band gradient. And here she is.

Chester the checker was checking his checks.While Opal the opener was opening her opepens.Chester checked Opal's opepens with care.But Opal opened Chester's checks with a flare.Now Chester's checks were all mixed up and vexed.And Opal's opepens were checked and perplexed. cc/

Yes, I had the chutzpah of coining DeFi 4, before DeFi 3 was coined. And yes, I coined DeFi 3 in the process.

I dare anybody to study the Checks contract deeply and then argue that there is a better NFT collection in the world.

When jack announces #Opepen mechanics, we will all understand why burn mechanics aren't always the most bullish for an asset. When NFTs are nodes in a network, the more there are to spread the meme, the better the network effect. cc/ @jackbutcher @jalil_eth.

PREDICTION:. #ChecksVV floor profile is about to change dramatically after #SuperburnSunday:. 1. Low aesthetic & common (80).2. Open Edition.3. Low aesthetic & rare (80).4. Good aesthetic & common (80).5. Good aesthetic & rare (80).6. Low aesthetic & common (40). and so on. .

Looking forward to the first 1-check secondary sale. I predict this won't happen until the 1-checks get art utility. i.e., until opepens can be colores with Checks.

Thanks for all your feedback!. I decided to do the trade. New proud owner of Child of God. I picked that name a couple months back because it is imo the most beautiful check in existence and it has no parents (since it's an 80-check). Here it is in all its glory.
Confident to share this deal cause I know nobody will offer more than me:. Should I accept?. Please lmk before the offerer wakes up (currently sleeping) 😉. 2x Opepen 4s.2x Opepen 5s. for. The so-called (which I named) 'Child of God' Check (5-band LinZ)'. wdyt @jackbutcher ?

I claimed $SOS with a lighter wallet I have. Then questioned myself as to whether there would be a delayed mass hack after the hype passed, and I would wake up one day with a bankrupt wallet. So, after claiming with other wallets, decided to look at the code. Here's what I found:.

Just got myself another one-band gradient. Should I create the first 40-check one-band gradient?. It's a powerful piece that has the potential to create a single colored 20-check if matched correctly. wdyt @schmrypto?

What makes it OK about spending an ungodly amount of ETH to make this when Checks were valued much higher is that something like this will likely not be replicable even if Checks approach zero
