Happy to announce that in late 2022 I became a meaningful co-owner of @beeple's landmark artwork HUMAN ONE. This seminal piece blending digital, physical, and temporal is the most important contemporary artwork of its generation. @jeannievu and I are proud to have been co-owners alongside @kukulabanze (the original buyer in 2021) and @pablorfraile for the past 3 years, and grateful for 1OF1's leadership in elevating the work to numerous venerable institutions like Castello di Rivoli, MPlus, Crystal Bridges, Mori Museum, and now @nodefnd

Five years ago history was made. Back then, I told people that @beeple’s Human One would be seen as one of the most important artworks of its generation, and I repeat that today. Great art has always reflected the human condition ahead of humanity’s ability to understand it, and no work embodies our march into digital utopia/abyss than Human One. Its existence online/chain and off, its constant response/evolution through @beeple’s hand, its activation of community IRL, and the growing recognition it’s had from global museums like @mplusmuseum @mori_art_museum @rivolicast @crystalbridges (thanks to the amazing leadership of @kukulabanze) is only the beginning of its impact on the art world.

@beeple has done something truly rare in pioneering a medium, and I’m grateful as a collector of Human One (and his other works) to be a footnote in its history. The only real job a collector has is to help art, great and small, survive history. I’m excited to be on this journey with one of the greats. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤖🤖🤖

Ps. Massive shoutout to Scott and the team that are the true muscle behind Mike

FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY _ HUMAN ONE BEGINS

I cannot believe that we have been on the journey with this artwork for five years. To me this artwork really is about the journey of life, continuing to push forward, not knowing what lies ahead.

It was the first truly dynamic artwork I created that had a more open ended structure that I feel is more akin to a continuing conversation than a finite statement frozen in time.

I feel we are beginning to just scratch the surface of dynamic artworks that evolve over long periods of time and this is one of the most exciting aspects of digital art as a medium...

I could not be more lucky to be on this journey with a Ryan Zurrer (@kukulabanze) as well as Jehan Chu (@collectionist). Their belief and support of this work and my entire practice has been nothing short of amazing... I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done.

I am beyond excited to continue this conversation with the crazy new tools we now have our at our disposal five years later, opening up new possiblities I would never have dreamed of...

... and the journey is just beginning.🙏

I’m not a fan of the “every catastrophe is an opportunity” sermon. 🙄 If your strategic vision arrives after somebody else gets wrecked, perhaps it’s just a content calendar. The best thing to do in moments like this is remain humble and recognize just how much we still need to upgrade our on-chain infrastructure. 🛠️

But the activity following the Binance hack reinforces why we built Firelight: on-chain protection needs to exist before the panic. 🔥 During the on-chain chaos, @SentoraHQ’s protected vaults and @FirelightFi performed exceptionally well, demonstrating the value of infrastructure designed for precisely these moments. 🛡️

In interconnected markets, losses can travel. So can fear. 🌊 Protection against covered losses can help preserve confidence when everyone is suddenly reassessing what “safe” means.

DeFi needs more than attractive yields and emergency group chats. It needs capital prepared to absorb shocks. 💪

Ideally, before somebody writes the inspirational post about the opportunity. 😉
