WEEKLY DOOM — Bloodsayers countdown, Jack Butcher's token art, and a long detour into SCP lore

Host opened with the only hard news he could give: artwork is flowing from Lex, the drop is end of October, and the actual announcement — cost, public sale, mint timing — is locked for Monday. Until then, more art, no numbers. He also noted the odd experience of spending months building a themed collection and realizing, late, that it's effectively seasonal artwork.

The one timeline item he'd flagged: people saying NFTs are going cold, especially on Robinhood, right as the original Pudgy Penguins artist is dropping a collection there this week — reportedly 50% of the presale already gone. The vibe-check and the counter-evidence arriving in the same breath.

Host laid out the full loop: buy credits, burn 80 to create a statement, release the statement into "balances" to get tokens. The art stays, but soulbound and dynamic — as your tokens disperse out of your wallet, the number on the piece drops and the colors shift. His read: this collapses the usual split where art sits on top of a financial vessel, and the token at the end could be a path onto DEXs and exchanges in a way a small artist normally can't reach 11:28. He also disclosed he's been buying since roughly the bottom.

Having heard the whole thesis, HalfbloodNerd's response: "let us move on… I hope you sell it for a lot of money. The rest for me is irrelevant." He hadn't read the article yet. He later recommended Motif, from the Goblintown artist, as more his speed.

Pranksy taking shots at Bored Apes, Garga clapping back, and a new whale account buying apes specifically to burn them. Jburn's position on BAYC was blunt and two-sided: a plague on the space, and the thing that got wealthy people to spend money here 22:00. Host's addition: the softer version of the same ritual, where Robinus burned an Argonaut for the culture and ACK customized the piece into a trash can — mutual respect on both ends of the flame.

On Bloodsayers traits: 666 pieces, so anything glitched reads like a one-of-one. Jburn noted the team holds well over half the supply and will push extra glitches onto the market at normal prices "for the people." Host teased his own favorite — a green Frankenstein-accented piece, a group-brainstorm throwaway idea that Lex ran with and that apparently ranks #1 in rarity outside the designated one-of-ones 30:40. He's saving the reveal for Hero, probably Friday.

It Follows (Jburn's pick for best new-age horror, pitched entirely as "a sexually transmitted curse"), Resident Evil (host: great cinematography, and yes he yelled out loud in the theater), and Backrooms, which Jburn filed as "mid, low key" despite loving the big pirate. This slid into a full SCP Foundation briefing 36:52 — the infinite toilet paper that melts the world if you pull too fast, the soda machine that dispenses liquid anything — and a half-serious plan to slip an SCP into a future burn-based Doomsayers side collection.

The sharpest stretch of the Space. Jburn's point: fan-extended lore works because creators can hand out permission to build, but NFT contracts can't easily add new collaborators or pay them after launch. Host floated a Wikipedia-style voted metadata update, and they landed on "semi-immutable" 43:23 — untouchable for what a holder bought, flexible for team and royalty splits. Morgen jumped in to say most people launching via launchpads don't know what their contracts do or whether they even own them, and that conversations like this are where change starts 48:56.

Host described going back and actually looking at CryptoPunks as art, and deciding the real artifact is the traits — 3D glasses, pipes, vapes — as a kind of lineage you have to be in the space to read. His wish: a single contract where the original and everything it spawned 15 years later are visibly tethered together.

Jburn's thesis for the last stretch: web3 is optimized for money instead of collaboration, and the change comes when that flips. Host agreed and argued for open editions over manufactured scarcity — then immediately caught himself: "We're doing a 60 piece collection. That's a capitalism" 58:38. No one pretended otherwise.

Jburn, on Morgen's Women's Day announcement, offered that there are plenty of women and minorities in the space — many of whom don't reveal it until they trust you, because it affects their sales. He closed with a straight pep talk: fight through the doubt, make the crazy thing, stop letting fear win.
