#5164 From day one until the end. I won’t share all the emotions that this game brought to my life but I need to say it was an insane experience! @m0dest___ Thank you again, it drove me crazy? Yes! But I am very proud of myself. Ps.:I guess my citizn is the last “woman” standing.

What a generous move by @Punk8868 ! 💪 In the end everything is good, otherwise it’s not the end! I’m happy for you, @suparno67 !! Welcome to the club of 69 !! 🤗🏆🙌🏻🍾

𝔠𝔦𝔱𝔦𝔷𝔢𝔫 408 | death & taxes | by @m0dest___

tonight, death and taxes ends. a group of citizens organized. a large holder agreed to sacrifice four of their own citizens, 17 eth each. the group pooled the funds and bought the final four deaths. i didn't end the game. the citizens did. i can't imagine a better ending than that. tonight the four are killed, the population reaches 69, and this phase of the game officially concludes. now the important part, survivors: your share of the treasury does not move on its own. claiming is a pull function. it does not happen automatically. you go to the site and you claim it yourself. there is exactly one place to do this: deptofdeath.xyz/irs. anyone who sends you anywhere else is trying to steal your hard earned eth. the 69 will be paid exactly as written. that sentence has been on every surface of this project since the beginning. tonight it comes true. i'm proud of what i built. the art, the strategy, the mechanics, the puzzles, the story. but, it also cost far more than i expected. it broke me emotionally. damaged relationships with people i genuinely care about. i said from the start that the tension and the discourse was part of the art. some days that was hard to believe. thank you to everyone who played, watched, doubted, screamed, accused, and stayed. all of it was participation. all of it is in the work. to the 69: you outlived a world. survived 201 grueling days. you will soon collect what the world owes you. i'll have more to share later. still trying to process all of this. the subnet is coming. but for now i need a vacation. ✖️💲

Selling (one): The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil Artist: @lphaCentauriKid Collection: @6529Collections Supply: 335 DM for a good deal. 🤓

I’ll be very happy when the 1,118+ ETH currently locked in Death & Taxes @dept_of_death — roughly $2.75M — finally gets unlocked. My guess is that a meaningful part of that capital will find its way back into the wider crypto art ecosystem. After months of liquidity being absorbed by D&T, other artists might finally feel some of that flow again. Capital wants to move. 🫡

PSA: Definitely do NOT mint this. 🙈🙊🙉 I minted this. BUT only as a charitable donation to the @m0dest___ mentally ill D&T Foundation. BUT u should not mint this. ⛔️⚠️

I just minted "< monke ending >" by @m0dest___ which is now live on @TransientLabs. Minting now! LFG! transient.xyz/mint/monke-end…

< a monke ending > regrettably, tomorrow. an irresponsibly priced edition mint with any proceeds being deployed to bring this phase of death and taxes to a close. the not so fine print : you do not need to mint this. this is outrageously overpriced. please don’t. even if you enjoy losing money. don’t do it. remaining supply will be burned immediately. 24 hour mint. 8-10hr allowlist for *active* citizens. 2:20 mp4 artwork made with my tools (plant / laminate / haunt) and a little help from @greencrosslive’s dithervoid. sound by @fredagainagain1 (Rosalia x betos horns smash up) ✖️💲

Grail Argonaut acquired...this gonna look super nice next to my Synth Wave! 🌊✨ @lphaCentauriKid @MuseFacktory

@MuseFacktory and @lphaCentauriKid Could you please clarify why the works from 6529 memes were not added, the cards are very highly valued and people love them.

Finally landed my favourite @jeffgdavis Drawings for a Monument #410… …thank you @_MirkoCroCop for patiently holding this awesome piece from mint and finally passing the torch to the @sqda collection! … use this catalyst to build out the collection with some additional super clean ones! Looking at this @artblocks_io collection this just makes me happy and calm! ❤️

Fell in love with this beautiful gazer by @MattKaneArtist during the recent eclipse! Welcome home to the @sqda collection. ❤️ Thanks to my boy @_MirkoCroCop for making it happen! 🙏

I’m not salty, just sad. Because this discussion reveals something much bigger than Death & Taxes. One of the fundamental problems of the crypto/NFT space has always been the idea that if the code allows something, doing it is legitimate. No ethics required. Code is law. But code only defines what is possible. It doesn’t define what is fair. Every exploit, every scam, every clever extraction that gets celebrated simply because “it was possible” drives more decent people away from this space. And once they’re gone, they rarely come back. I’ve always hoped crypto would eventually develop an ethos beyond pure code and self-interest. Because without it, the space risks destroying the trust it needs to survive. Maybe Death & Taxes by @m0dest___ is becoming a remarkably good mirror of exactly that problem: everyone can follow the rules—and we can still end up with a system that many participants experience as fundamentally unfair. Perhaps that is the real social sculpture. 😏
