🎃 A Halloween treat from me to the CREDITS community

🧧 I’ve been teasing this gift for a week or so now; happy to report it’s finally ready

I’ve built a free way to put your @jackbutcher CREDITS into digital collector cases

CREDIT ARCHIVE keeps the original artwork intact, t Rating & print traits together on each label

I also wanted a quick reference for my own collection: an easy way to see its rarity mix & scan each CREDIT’s CR points without opening everything individually

Hopefully you’ll find that useful too

No wallet connection, mint or fee

Just a new way to understand, display & share what you collect

▷ HOW IT WORKS

Enter a wallet address or ENS name to load its loose CREDITS, or look up a single CREDIT by token number

Browse in grid view, switch to larger cases, sort by rarity or filter by R-grade

Tap “View case” to open an individual case & save its image

For a collection image, tap “Make collection image”

Choose your own selection of up to 12, or use “Select top 12” to grab your rarest

Smaller collections get a “Select all” option

You can also copy a public gallery link to share your wallet’s collection

▷ WHAT DO R10–R1 MEAN?

They’re rarity tiers based on the original 122,154-piece ranking, with R10 the rarest

Each CREDIT gets the highest tier it qualifies for

R10 ▷ Top 300
R9 ▷ Top 600
R8 ▷ Top 1,200
R7 ▷ Top 2,500
R6 ▷ Top 5,000
R5 ▷ Top 10,000
R4 ▷ Top 20,000
R3 ▷ Top 35,000
R2 ▷ Top 50,000
R1 ▷ Ranks 50,001–122,154

Burns don’t reshuffle the grades

This is our independent collector shorthand, not an official Jack Butcher grading system or a price estimate

My 12 rarest below 👇

Give yours a spin & show us your collection

jpmorgan put bitcoin in its ten-year capital market assumptions for the first time: 10% a year through 2036, above us large caps and bonds

10% a year turns 75,958 into 197,000 by 2036. the worst ten-year stretch bitcoin has ever printed ran from the november 2013 top to november 2023: 31x, 41% a year. the bank’s number is about a quarter of the worst decade on the chart. that is what institutional entry looks like: conservative, late, and still bullish

Years of @NeoTokyoCode riddle-hunt conditioning kicked in the second I saw this GIF from @jackbutcher 😂

Those little CMYK blocks looked like something to decode

Turns out they’re decimal digits, with each tile’s white cells spelling out its value

Solid tile = 0
One white cell 3
And so on

The animation counts upward, accelerates & finally stops at:

▷ 10,367

🤔 Why that number?

With BARS, Bar #1 holds 1 $BALANCE, Bar #2 holds 2, and so on

Backing every consecutive bar through #10,367 would require:

▷ 53,742,528 BALANCE

The token’s total supply is:

▷ 53,750,000 BALANCE

That leaves just 7,472, not enough to cast the next bar, which would need 10,368

👀 The GIF stops at exactly the largest consecutive BARS series the entire supply could back at once

My read: the mathematical boundary of BARS, written in Jack’s own CMYK number language

Not a prediction that every bar gets cast, but a pretty beautiful connection between the art & its underlying constraints

🤫 Not financial advice, but $BALANCE looks quite undervalued here at FDV of $982k

I painfully read his quoted article.

"I don't mean the surgeon, I mean the guy who makes $10K a minute in his sleep."

His own article admits the $10K figure is wrong, admits it's "shares nobody has sold," and admits Musk "lost" $74B in a day. Income doesn't vanish on a Thursday. Paper wealth does.

You don't tax a scoreboard. You tax income, and when billionaires sell, they pay. Musk paid roughly $11B in one year when he did.

The "Berkeley economists" he cites openly campaign for a wealth tax, and he said so himself.

Their "effective rate" counts company profits the owner never received, and gets "everyone else" to 30% by stacking on payroll and sales tax. The bottom half pays about 3% in federal income tax.

These “experts” love to camouflage exaggerated claims in fancy terms that the reader likes to think he understands.

His own article says Newsom opposed it because the rich would leave. He's right. France had a wealth tax and watched thousands of millionaires walk out before repealing it in 2017. Norway raised theirs and its richest people moved to Switzerland.

When they go, the jobs, the investment and the tax base go with them, and the poor are left with the bill. When the tax base leaves, governments print the difference, and inflation hits the poor first and hardest.

That surgeon he’s "protecting" works in a hospital built by investors, uses equipment from companies that only exist because someone could get rich building them, and gets paid by insurers funded by the jobs those companies create.

And "eat the rich" isn't a policy, it's a cannibalism slogan. Seriously grotesque, which perfectly fits the recent “we want blood” rage mood these guys are trying to set. “The revolution will have collateral damage.”

Every movement that started by eating the billionaires ended up eating the surgeons, the shopkeepers and the farmers too. Actually pick up a history book on Russia, China or Cuba to see how that went.

The only logical conclusion I can draw from this absurdity is that these people just want to drag all of us down to their miserable level, as “misery loves company.”

If everyone becomes equally poor from the rich being “eaten”, then we can all be happy together owning nothing? Do I have it right?

Seems like a kind of enforced Zen Buddhism, except unlike Buddhism, violence is actually encouraged as long as it accelerates common poverty.

Strip away his bad math and his whole argument becomes: "Elon's number went up while he was asleep, and that feels unfair." That's not economics, that's emotional jealousy dressed up in some kind of weird logic.

Better polish up your camping skills if these new detached-from-reality economics experts keep gaining control thanks to popularity contest voters. ⛺️

Think that’s far fetched? Just look how many likes the quoted post has. 🤝
When I say "eat the rich," I don't mean the surgeon with 700K in his bank account who
had sleepless nights and worked hard for it.
I mean the billionaires who earn 10K a minute even while they're asleep.

☑️ Minted CREDITS

☑️ Did the 80 CREDITS > STATEMENT assembly path

☑️ Stacked rare CREDITS on discount

☑️ Got my BID

☑️ Accumulating $BALANCE

While waiting for BARS, figured I’d take the next step…

☑️ KYC

Only 565 exist

351 unique owners (62.1%)

Scarce supply + brobase

▷ WHAT IS KYC?

KYC (Know Your Collector) is a @jackbutcher generative art portrait collection

Collectors paid $1, shaped & chose their portraits

They then linked them to their X accounts with a verification code during a 24-hour claim window

▷ WHAT’S NEXT?

🤔 If KYC being linked to X accounts was the prequel to CREDITS being minted via @XMoney …

Then maybe it makes sense that they now return to the story

Might be smart to hold one, might not, but I like the art & the history

Plus, with the hint of these evolving, and (my speculation) potentially gaining utility or function in the CREDITS universe, figured might as well grab one

☑️ #513 home in the wallet

👀 KYC meets CMYK

@jackbutcher’s rotating portrait teaser looks like KYC meeting the printing language of CREDITS

His site lists KYCM under “Built on Balance”, while collectors are asking whether their existing portraits could evolve

Meanwhile, CREDITS floors:

▷ Overall: ~0.0062Ξ (~$14), +7.9% since yesterday morning
▷ Top 100: 0.05896Ξ (~$132)
▷ Top 1,000: 0.0248Ξ (~$55)
▷ 4 Eights: 0.419Ξ (~$936)
▷ 3 Eights: 0.0287Ξ (~$64)
▷ 2 Eights: 0.0125Ξ (~$28)

45,920 CREDITS have already been burned into Statements, 37.59% of the original edition

Art becoming material for more art is the connection I’m watching

A new chapter for the original 565 KYC portraits, or a separate work?

Could KYC ownership play a role in BARS casting?

👀 KYC +49.4% over 24h

Asked about returning to KYC, @jackbutcher said “I have some ideas yes”

His site now previews “KYCM” under “Built on Balance”, alongside BARS coming 11/11

Was the KYC minus M hint (CMYK) sitting there the whole time?

Meanwhile, CREDITS listing floors pshot ~12 hours ago:

▷ Overall +15.5%
▷ 2 Eights +16.1%
▷ 3 Eights +48%

🤔 The Visualize Value wallet also bought two 2-Eights CREDITS today

More art built on $BALANCE, with CREDITS as the original source material

That’s the connection I’m watching

76,314 loose CREDITS remain

I love this part of the project, the original art becoming the building blocks for something new

Scott Galloway calls Elon Musk a "traitor to the West" and invokes the executions of the Rosenbergs after WW2.

"We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West."

👀 SOLD @NeoTokyoCode S1 Citizen #936 for 0.5444Ξ (~$1,249)

Today I’m looking at how little S1 inventory is actually listed as more and more get picked up off the floor

There are currently 21 S1 Citizens listed, just 1% of the 2,040 migrated Citizens

Only 10 are listed below Below 0.60Ξ → 5 Citizens
0.60–0.99Ξ → 5
1–1.99Ξ → 5
2–4.99Ξ → 2
5Ξ & above → 4

Current floor: 0.568Ξ (~$1,303)

Just 5 listings sit below 0.60Ξ, then another 5 before floor reaches 1Ξ

That’s a thin floor, not a prediction that buyers will clear it, but it’s the supply picture I’m watching alongside completed sales

🔑 Citizen #936 Key Traits:
🔹Apparel: Grunt 1 (1/73)
🔹Class: Officer (1/83)
🔹Helm: Gas Mask (1/83)
📍Location: Glitch District
🔹Race: Android (1/316)
🔹Reward Rate: 2
🔸Rarity Rank: 1692

👀 SOLD @NeoTokyoCode S1 Citizen #2980 for 0.99Ξ (~$2,232)

The individual sales catch my eye, but NT’s ownership picture is what keeps my attention

Over 5 years after its free-mint beginnings, the S1 collection has 1,701 owner wallets across 2,040 Citizens, counting staked owners

That’s an 83.4% holder-to-supply ratio, with nearly 70% of S1s staked

Prices matter, but a community this broadly distributed after multiple market cycles is a big part of my longer-term conviction

🔑 Citizen #2980 Key Traits:
🔹Helm: Electric Helm (1/12)
🔹Ability: Locksmith (1/24)
🔹Extra Item: Pocket Knife (1/60)
🔹Apparel: Service (1/61)
🔹Class: Cyberstreet Trader (1/75)
📍Location: Byte Street
🔹Race: Ape (1/130)
🔹Reward Rate: 7
🔸Rarity Rank: 454

🍻 Congrats to buyer AlphaEagle37 for scoring this banger Elite S1 at such a bargain

CREDITS strength is showing up past 24 hours:

▷ Top-1,000 rarity floor +14%
▷ Top-5% rarity floor +25.9%
▷ Statements floor +34.4%
▷ $BALANCE +7.2%

Meanwhile, the general CREDITS floor cooled slightly to 3.8% as focus turns to rarity and CR scores

2 Statements have t 24 hours, absorbing another 160 CREDITS

Only 76,394 loose CREDITS remain, with 37.46% of the original edition now burned into Statements

My read: collectors are picking their spots rather than lifting everything together

Rares offer the art, scarcity & potential value of their CR points

Others may be stacking $BALANCE to prepare for BARS, Jack’s announced token-backed collectible objects

Rising asks alone don’t prove sustained accumulation, but the firmer rarity floors & completed purchases reveal interest is still strong

🧠 Art, CR & BALANCE offer different ways to participate in the same evolving system
