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👇

1/ Yesterday, 2am.
I am alone in my villa when I receive word that @guyoseary, the one who took over management of Bored Ape Yacht Club, bringing them to "escape velocity" that allowed them to surpass cryptopunks in price...

2/ ... has now taken over management of the lovely @worldofwomennft project!
WoW is a 10,000 pfp collection. Each thought-provoking portrait carries a feeling of feminine power and unity, while staying true to individuality
I could look at these all day.

3/ Already, @ReeseW & @EvaLongoria represent WoW as their profile pictures.
But now, Guy is at the helm. We saw what he did with BAYC. Kimmel, Eminem, Post Malone.
These will soon be held by more impactful women than we can even imagine. I'm here for it.
Except for one thing:

4/ While I've long admired WoW, just as I was distracted and "missed" BAYC...
I hold zero WoW!
For some reason WoW had just not made it's way into the Medici Collection just yet. With so many projects, it's impossible to keep up.

5/ So the news breaks, and I'm late - very late!
The floor of WoW has gone wild. I go to grab some, and notice most rares are gone, or priced extremely high.
I even see individual pieces had sold for 200e!
I do find these 2 queens. Scoop, scoop..

6/ I grab one more, then it strikes me...
Has the artist behind this remarkable works, @YKarkai, created any 1/1s?

7/ I do a little digging, and notice she in fact has created 16 1/1s.
And guess what?
2 of these 1/1s are available. At prices I could not believe.

8/ The first I see is Woman n°015, “The fire within you”.
This Goddess was listed for just 22e. I scoop her immediately.

9/ And then I notice the unthinkinkable.
It is Woman n°001. Yam's first ever minted NFT, her genesis. Created several months before the WoW project.
The only work to contain two faces. In fact, "Two faces" is it's name.
And it's available for 33e!

10/ I have never reloaded a wallet so fast. My body tenses in agony as I am waiting for the ETH to hit, knowing that my purchase of Woman n°015 was likely seen by the wallet-watchers, and they are coming!
11/ The ETH hits and I rush to pull the trigger. Finally, the buy clears. The genesis piece is mine.
12/ And now I present to you...
Woman n°001, "Two faces"

13/ As Yam writes in her description:
"We often feel two things at once. Representing two different emotions by combining two faces through soft shapes and colors that complement each other. Complex - just like humans' feelings are."

14/ A remarkable piece, that surely was the spark that led to the World Of Women project, that is now inspiring so many.
33 ETH was a record for one of Yam's 1/1s, but a price I feel is perhaps the biggest bargain I have found in NFT, ever.

15/ I was so honored when I awoke to see this post from Yam:

16/ And the Medici Collection is honored to now hold this genesis work, which will be on display at our next gallery show in Los Angeles, the 1st weekend in February.
17/ But... where does this go next?
How can this change art forever?
Why is this collection so important?

18/ Well as you know, the NFT space now is largely male-dominated.
It's been amazing getting to know transformative female artists like @ClaireSilver12 & @vissyarts, and renowned female collectors like @beautyandpunk. But we need more!
They may want to be here... but trust me:

19/ They don't all want Bored Ape pfps.
I could see @worldofwomennft as the project that levels the playing field.
I see @YKarkai as a leader and inspiration for women looking to join the digital renaissance.

20/ I can see World of Women as the project that onboards millions of women to web3 and NFT, with its inspiration message of unity.
21/ And I could see this genesis work as a piece that one day sets a sales record for a female artist in NFT, bringing even more attention, awareness, and excitement.
22/ As side note, I firmly believe a man has a better chance of reaching his full potential, with an amazing woman by his side.
Those who know me personally know that while Mrs Medici is not here on twitter - we collect art together.

23/ And we were honored to purchase this work from @ElenaBrower, a leader of women my wife has long admired.
24/ On that note, because I want to see Yam's work continue to gather steam... I am open to offers on her other 1/1 that I scooped, Woman n°015, “The fire within you”.
Please DM me privately. I would love for a woman to have it!

25/ Thank you for taking a moment with me today, and let's go @worldofwomennft! 🍷⚔️♥️ ~CdM
@worldofwomennft ***To clarify, I do a lot of charity and giveaways but this is not one of them. If I part ways with Woman n°015 it will be for a price that moves the 1/1 Collection forward♥️
