1/ Meme Card 100 Redemption Arc 396 days later, we complete the redemption arc of Meme Card 100 with the fabulous @nft_lady_007 as the artistic collaborator. The arc completes, the final version of the card is now live (sound on)

2/3: The full story is that when we dropped the card @zachxbt yelled at us because he had traced the multiple scammy identities of the artist. We said "well, damn" & sent Zach our share of mint proceeds for his good work & thought "we need to reflect this somehow in the card"

3/ And then nothing for a year. Did I forget? Did I change my mind? No. I knew Zach was digging further and many months later he believes that that the controversial-in-its-own-right Greedy Morning card was also by the same artist

4/ Why was "Greedy Morning" controversial? It dropped during peak meme frontrunning FOMO and the artist leaked the news to push the value of his own NFTs up as people bought them to get allowlist spots. It was annoying but not technically against our rules then.

5/ We believe in continuous improvement so the rules changed after that. Also my view was that "Greedy Morning" was a pretty good card and that the card actually matched the artist's drop behavior so, somehow, it worked even more. But now? Well, what a complete story!

6/ "Survival of the Memeist" starts as it was dropped, but then comes to life with @nft_lady_007 recounting of the story in her trademark animation style. And the whole story is now in the history books, its blockchain-based history on our audit trail

7/ @nft_lady_007 will also drop a SZN8 card of her own. We also sent her half of the artist allocation split with @6529er -- the artist had actually sent it back -- and various "Survive" memes. I also sent @zachxbt a Card 100 right now under our "Main Character" policies.

8/ So we close this chapter of The Memes. It is an interesting one - we learned several things to improve - and both cards now tell an interesting story. With this, we have completed all the outstanding todos of the past 2 years - website, nextgen, delegation and more

9/ Soon, we will show you what we have been working on for a very long time. Not a to-do from the past, but our view of the future. I cannot wait, but, as always, it will be out when it is ready. Thanks again to @zachxbt @6529er and @nft_lady_007
