I decided to take a short break from the Posters topic to write about something that I believe it's important to know.
This is in consideration of this recent #MemeCoinSeason , with our beloved #PEPE pumping.
Memecoins are an interesting trend that has been sweeping through the crypto-space. What started with Elon Musk’s tweets and Dogecoin hype has evolved into a dangerous development with countless tragedies caused by the greed-fueled desire to “get rich quick”
Here is why you should be wary of investing money into memecoins:
Memecoins are a type of cryptocurrency based on internet memes and have gained popularity due to their humorous and lighthearted nature. However, despite their playful appearance, investing in memecoins is risky.
One reason for this is that memecoins are often highly volatile and subject to extreme price fluctuations. This means that while it is possible to make large profits quickly, it is also possible to lose a significant amount of money just as fast.
Another reason to be cautious is that they are often not backed by any tangible assets or real-world value. This means that their value is based on speculation and hype, which can make them particularly susceptible to market manipulation and pump-and-dump schemes.
Furthermore, the lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency market means that there are no safeguards in place to protect investors from fraudulent activities. This makes it important for individuals to thoroughly research any coin they are considering investing in and to be aware.
In conclusion, while memecoins can be an entertaining and potentially profitable investment, it is important for individuals to approach them with caution and to thoroughly understand the risks involved before committing any funds.
On a personal note:
Although we all love the idea to get rich with just one lucky call, as long as the "crypto people" will feed the memecoin trends, real projects will struggle to get credibility, hence the crypto space won't grow into mass adoption.
It is time we all take a step back from pure gambling, and take a more mature approach.
This is my personal opinion, I'd like to hear yours.
Vintage posters are more than just a piece of paper, they are a window into the past. There have been several vintage poster sales that have fetched high prices, proving that these pieces of art still hold value.
The highest sale for a vintage poster was for the 1927 sci-fi classic movie Metropolis. It was designed by German artist Heinz Schulz-Neudamm.
In 2005 it was sold at auction for $690,000 – the highest price ever paid for a poster.
Have you heard of the #Documerica project by the US Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA)? In the early 1970s, just after the birth of EPA and the environmental movement, the agency hired freelance photographers to record the state of the environment and efforts to improve it.
#Documerica ultimately collected tens of thousands of photos that serve as a visual baseline for comparing how our environment looked then with how it looks now and in the future. By 1974, Documerica had produced more than 81,000 photographs by more than 100 photographers.
Today we dive into one example of how a #poster can talk about social issues.
A thread:
In 1995, the Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing. It was a historic event that brought together thousands of delegates from around the world to discuss gender equality and women’s rights. #Beijing95
The conference resulted in the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a visionary agenda for the empowerment of women. It set out measures for national and international action in 12 critical areas of concern. #BeijingPlatformforAction
Hello, posters lovers.
Today I want to talk a bit about the Belle Epoque, when modern posters originated.
The Belle Epoque, or “Beautiful Epoch,” was a period of French history that lasted from the late 19th century to the beginning of World War 1. This era was characterized by optimism, peace, and prosperity, and saw significant advancements in art, fashion, and technology.
One of the most notable artistic developments of the Belle Epoque was the rise of the fine-art advertising poster. During this time, several fine artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec were attracted to poster design
Today we introduce our first collection of Vintage Posters NFTs.
"Vietnam War Propaganda" is the theme they're based on.

During the Vietnam War, propaganda posters were used by both sides to influence public opinion and garner support for their respective causes. These posters, with their vivid colors and bold imagery, have become iconic symbols of the era.
Now, a new collection of these vintage posters will soon be available as NFT collectibles. Each poster has been carefully curated and digitized, preserving its historical significance while making it accessible to a new generation of collectors.
Have you ever wondered about the fascinating origins of posters? These printed materials have been around for centuries, and their evolution reveals a lot about our changing world.
The history of posters can be traced back to the early days of printing, when Johannes Gutenberg invented the moveable type printing press in the 15th century. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that posters began to truly take off.
At this time, theatre impresarios and various other entertainers began using posters to promote their shows and events. These early posters were often highly decorative, featuring bold, eye-catching designs that were intended to draw attention from passersby.
