1/ Announcing the first donation of on-chain art from a collector to a museum, and the largest digital fine art collection to enter a museum
22 works from The Cozomo de' Medici Collection have been added to the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Once in a great while, a work drops that shows you the power of art, to move your heart and shake your soul
That's why I feel
@deekaymotion
's 'Life and Death' will go down as a defining work of this era
And why I was thrilled to acquire it today, for $1m USD, or 310 ETH ♥️⚔️👇
If you gm, if you NFT, if you punk, if you ape, if you cat, if you ENS, if you !vibe, if you sail the open sea, if you SOL, if you ADA, if you diamond hand or paper hand, if you meme, pepe, Hen, ham, hoodie, or AB…
I raise my glass to you and yours🍷⚔️♥️
Did I imagine my very 1st purchase of a "useless" jpeg would cost $2m USD?
Absolutely not. It should have been $4m.
Frens, today I share the uncensored tale of how I entered the wild world of NFTs. From 0 to 8 figures in 30 days.
Grab a glass, take a seat, & hold on tight.🍷👇
In the spirit of Christmas I am pledging 100% of my S.O.S. drop proceeds to supporting female artists, minority artists, LGBTQ artists, and artists who have yet to sell an NFT🍷⚔️🕊️
Yesterday marked my 30th day here on twitter, and 60 days since I made my first NFT buy.
In that short time I have made the greatest of frens, and have had the time of my life.
And in exactly 3 hours and 33 minutes from now, it happens. ~CdM
In the spirit of Christmas, I've decided to give away this CrypToadz. But in the giving spirit, you cannot nominate yourself!
Tag your NFT frens who you feel deserve these !vibez. One will be picked at random to win!
Must be following

Last night I told of a scoop which may have been my greatest ever in NFT.
I'm thrilled share the story with you now. As while it began last night, there is much to unfold.
If you are ready for a wild tale that could transform NFT and the art world forever, let us begin👇
On my first day in NFT, I was told of a "grail of grails"...
It was never even a possibility in my mind that I could one day own it.
But today I'm thrilled to announce a passing of the torch of
@XCOPYART
's "Right-click and Save As guy" from

to The Collection Medici
Last year, we brought glorious digital art to the people of New York, with 50 foot screens in Times Square during NFT NYC.
This year, we are doing it again, but with one significant change:
There will be no pfps. Only 1/1's, and genart.
Here's why:
Thrilled to announce for the first time, I've taken an Advisory role with an NFT team. Excited to help

ecosystem. HoooOOOOOooooooT!🦉⚔️⚡️
I'm up to 5 birds, including this gift from the Treasury🕊️
Project nothing update:
All ETH returned. To those who sent, thank you for trusting me to do nothing. You collectively decided how much I'll spend supporting emerging artists next week.
64.6 ETH was sent (then all returned). And 64.6 ETH is how much the Medici will spend.
The internet killed the yellow pages. Netflix killed Blockbuster.
Will NFTs kill traditional art?
Greetings, my name is
@CozomoMedici
. When I first shared the below story, it was read by millions. With 2023 here, it's time for an update
So buckle up, and let's go👇
Twitter changed the way we share our thoughts.
Instagram changed how we share our photos.
And today I'm excited to announce a new platform, that may change the way we share our NFTs:
The secret is out.

Over a fine wine we talked fine art, the future of the digital renaissance, and my 3 predictions for 2023 🍷⚔️
Last time on Fallon, Paris taught Jimmy what an NFT was.
This time she gave NFTs to the whole audience!
Bravo Paris for expanding our great community, once again🍷⚔️🕊
I'm thankful for the artists.
I'm thankful for the collectors.
I'm thankful for the digital renaissance.
I'm thankful for decentralization.
Most of all, I am thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving, NFT twitter family. WAGMI.

You’ve spent decades fighting for the common man
Yet tomorrow, in your own city, you’ll share a stage with a con man. Who stole $10 billion dollars from innocent people
In the name of integrity in New York City, we ask you to cancel your speech.
Records are meant to be broken
Like waves that crash from the sea
And in 4 hours and 41 minutes, there will be an announcement from me.
Once this secret is open
It don’t matter what you been smokin
It will hit with the force of an explosion
You may wanna hide yo AB.

Dear frens,
Since I announced my dox, events have transpired most would not believe, nor understand.
What I can share is I’ve received an outpouring of kindness here on twitter. And many say they prefer to know me as Cozomo, and no one else!
So here is what I’ve decided to do:
2 years ago today, with the acquisition of Cryptopunk # 3831 ‘CoZom’, The Medici Collection was born.
It’s been journey beyond what I ever could have imagined, connecting me with art, artists and patrons who have enriched my life immeasurably.
Now, more than ever, one thing is…
An event happening tomorrow could bring the entire traditional art world to it's knees.
If you're ready to hear how jpeg prices could facemelt up with the force of a freight train...
Cement a new NFT category that is as exciting as pfps and 1/1s...
It's time to say gn
Less than one year ago, I said my first gm here
And since this will be my last post for awhile, I thought it meaningful to commemorate it by adding
@grantyun2
's 'gn' to The Medici Collection (1/8)
The Price of Time
In my younger days I spent many nights at the poker table.
The casino had a nightclub. Men would stumble out, ladies on their arms, all laughing and tipsy.
A stop by the tables, and I'd separate them from their money.
One morning, heading home after long…
