Proud to have added House of FOMO (@XCOPYART, 1/1, February 2019) to my collection.

The title reads like a fashion house. “HOUSE OF” arced over FOMO, boutique stripes, the bag you carry so people can see where you shopped. What’s inside: green candles. The caption underneath is blunter — “buy dips, not green dildos.”

Minted 9 February 2019, ETH around $125, roughly 90% off the high. He drew the bag at the exact moment almost nobody experienced FOMO — everyone was carrying such a bag, just not showcasing it.

It is timeless because the experience never changes. Animal spirits run the same route every cycle: the thing goes up, the going up becomes the thesis, and you end up holding the bag. Crypto from 2021, or from last October. Tech from June. Whatever looked like it would moon.

Eight frames, everything jittering, and in the last one the lights go out. Shop closed. Then it opens again, bright as ever.

It was minted near a bottom. Seven and a half years later it changes hands. I dearly hope the timing rhymes. V1. Original primary. Untraded since 2019.

Thanks @0xBloomLabs and @0xRoses0x for brokering and so much more. And to @RaoulGMI for helping me summon the animal spirits when it mattered.

🧩 Steal This Art

“I finally acquired the piece I’ve always considered Counterparty’s masterpiece” says @thearchivist.

He continues: “In Feb. 2015, Weex [David Sterry] spray-painted a private key missing two characters, minted it as ‘KETF’… and dared Reddit to ‘STEAL THIS ART. CRACK ITS KEY.’ Stolen within hours.”

The February 14, 2025 created Counterparty artwork is acquired by Archivist for 17 ETH from Griffin.

Earlier this year and prior to collecting the work, Archivist wrote a point-of-view piece on it as part of the 24 Hours of Art Digital Art Pantheon.

Excerpt:

“This conceptual work, that could not exist without the blockchain, is backed on-chain with a RIPEMD-160 hash matching the .jpg’s artwork (a first on Counterparty, and among only a handful of works in existence at the time that had done this).”

took me time with @XCOPYART's toxic beast. it pulled before it convinced — hypnotic, and I couldn't say why. turns out the why is simple (at least for me): the static is two frames on a fixed clock — you're done with it instantly, and it's never done with you. the beast loops too, just slower — eight states, small shifts, long enough to feel alive. but it's still a loop, and none of it under its control. the background pushes your eye out, the beast pulls it in. you don't choose to stare; you get herded. either the field poisons the beast, or the beast radiates the field — the name votes for the second. and depending which you pick, "well well well... it is what it is" belongs to the bystanders, or to the beast. thanks @0xBloomLabs and @0xRoses0x for brokering and @coldie for letting it go.
