This week we're celebrating 10 years of the internet's most iconic frog 🐸🎉 The Rare Pepe 10 Year Birthday Bash is LIVE FOR VIEWING! Auctions from some of yer favorite frog artists featuring original artwork, a 10 year celebration watch, hardcover copies of The Creature from Jekyll Island, a new project's AP collection, Pepe Flyers, and of course Rare Pepes Bidding opens Tuesday!

Ten years. Ten years since the first mint. Ten years since a handful of people decided to put art on Bitcoin and got called crazy for it. Ten years since the rooms started filling up with arguments about scarcity, proof, beauty, and frogs. @scarcedotcity is throwing the party. September 8–10. 14 lots. 13 auctions. 1 raffle. @ScrillaVentura is raffling an original Rare Pepe Wallet limited edition print. @MrCryptoWatches has a 10 Year Celebration Watch. @MichaelNaples has the TRIPLEMIKE painting and token. @PepenardoStudio has two Stone Operation framed drawings. @halluciphile has PEPEFONDLERS. @h_u_e_s_ has exclusive artist proofs. @ZimaBlueArt has a 1/1. Collector lots include PIRATESPEPES, PEPEDICK, and three sets of Pepe Flyers. And I'm reading the definitive hardcover of The Creature From Jekyll Island: Pepe Edition out loud on Spaces, start to finish, through the whole event. I'm hosting the Spaces for Scarce. The artists are invited so ask them tons of questions about the work. This is the 10 year birthday party and the book happens to be playing in the background while the culture puts its objects on the block. Monday night the auction is still closed. There is nothing to buy. Come hear the story. Come talk to the artists. Come celebrate ten years of the thing you helped build. Tuesday it gets serious.

THIS IS NOT THE SAME BOOK The paperback already exists... some of you own it. While building the hardcover, I went back into the manuscript and effectively refused to stop. The finished book is now roughly 60% larger than the second edition. Not 60% more blank paper. 60% more book. More Crowne history. More of the Federal Reserve doing what it does best... spinning the money printer. More real history. More Bitcoin history. More connective tissue between the things that happened and the people who lived through them. Added sections on John McAfee, Samourai Wallet, COLDCARD, Quantum threats, Regulatory wars, John Villar, New Crowne material, New mythology, Twenty-five new pieces of artwork, and more augmented-reality material. Things that had been paragraphs became scenes. Events that had been mentioned became whole sub-plots. Then the entire book was rebuilt as a larger 7×10, almost 500 page, full-color hardcover masterpiece. This is the version I can finally say I am finished. WHAT IS THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND: PEPE EDITION? It is a five-generation American family saga hiding inside the history of money. The Crownes keep finding themselves in the same argument, century after century: Who gets to decide what something is worth? Miners? Bankers? Panics? Wars? And threaded through all of it, a family carrying an inheritance they do not completely understand and confronting something that may be considerably older than the institutions it inhabits. In this book, the Federal Reserve is not a building It is a MONSTER The first time you read this book, it is a story. The second time through, you start Googling names, companies, laws, dates... and discovering how much of this ridiculous shit actually happened. The predictions became part of the fun around the previous edition. Something would happen in the news, and someone would ask me about it... eventually the answer became: “It’s in the book.” THE LAST TIME THIS BOOK CAME THROUGH @SCARCEDOTCITY The earlier book came through Scarce while the project was still becoming what it is now. The first edition had a typo on the cover, and the kind of mistakes you get from a guy who never made a book before. At the time, the auction description called it "a possible new beginning in Bitcoin literature." Since then the book grew. PEPECREATURE grew. The audiobook happened. The mythology around the predictions grew, and the community found its way deeper into the story. If you own a first edition, this is the book you put next to it. Now you have the first draft and the finished product. SCARCITY VERSUS RARITY Anybody can create scarcity. Print fifty things. Number them, and stop printing. Congratulations... that's scarcity. Rarity needs a reason. These books are rare because their provenance cannot be reproduced later. There will be normal hardcovers. There can be more signed books. But there cannot be another first fifty copies of this hardcover distributed ONLY through this auction. Years from now, long after I am gone, a #37 test press, signed by the author will still be the only one of its kind. A proven artifact whose number recorded exactly where its original owner finished when the first fifty left my hands. And the next time somebody asks "what you can buy with Bitcoin", you can hold this up and say HISTORY scarce.city/auctions/the-cre…
