I wrote an essay on what the CENTS Mint Years actually tell you – but most people won’t read an essay. ;-) So I turned the core of it into something you grasp in one second. Every CENT detail page now has a mint-year timeline. The trick: each era is sized by how many CENTS actually exist from it – not by calendar spacing. So 1910–1969 (60 years) is a thin sliver, because only 21.25% of the collection is that old. A marker drops the coin you’re looking at onto the bar. A 1938 lands hard left in the rare zone; a 1981 sits in the wide 1980s block. Rarity you can see, not just read.

MUSEUM COLLECTION ON ETH opensea.io/Francisco_Carolin… the collection is slowly but steadily growing. Thanks to the artists and collectors that make this possible 😍

Might be the most perfect on-chain collection I’ve ever come across, in all honesty

There really aren’t many art collections or pieces that are flawless, whether physical or digital Hard to even come up with many, on the spot But imho CENTS on Bitcoin is one of those Just can’t find any fault init Just beauty 👌

Comfy in Cents

I realize now that I’ve always curated AND self-produced my own shows. Only recently in ETHCC Cannes I was hired to curated and was given a venue and budget to work with. But for all of my shows before that I always paid out of pocket everything and everyone. I paid for artwork production and framing, I’ve paid for shipping transportation and accommodation of my artists, I’ve paid for venue and booth, I’ve paid for food and beverage, I’ve paid for service, security and handling staff. I’ve never had and never looked for private or public sponsoring because to me that what a gallerist do ! (And I don’t even take 50%) And I realize I likely paid (despite being just a guy in his 20’s trying to do cool stuff ) much more thing than platforms whom have done funding rounds in millions and despite not having huge budget I manage to pull out show that had nothing to envy from the one they could organized. My NFT Paris booth was quite an example of that, managed to make one of the most memorable booth of the edition with less than 5000€. I didn’t cut cost, just did a lot myself, had quote in the 5 figures range for the booth, ended up buying and cutting the wood myself and building the wall myself. Countless of exemples, more my next show schedule to open in July in Paris I’ll be doing that all over again but to a much higher degree. I think I’m done trying to make gold with copper and working with peanuts budgets. I want to try my luck commuting 5 figure budget, making precious gem from raw diamonds and I got to admit for the first time I’ve been thinking of getting sponsors. With a 20% commission (got a gallery partner) I need to sell more than I ever did just to keep the light on, but I guess that’s what conviction in an artist is ! I’m all in ! So if you can help with a RT and intro to a collector or a potential sponsor please do ! This how we build
