Today, 11 months after minting, I burnt this NFT. I feel both distraught and delighted, but mainly delighted - Iβve got an original @hirst_official #TheCurrency painting FFS. Obviously Iβve got another to keep as an NFT. No way am I missing out on the next five years of @HENI fun
Well I can safely say I wasnβt planning to be doing this on my way home tonight, but itβs not every day the Standard gives you a chance to win an Ai Weiwei print π€ @aiww @circa__art @EveningStandard
No way was I going to let this opportunity pass me by @HENI #HENIHolidays πͺβοΈπ¨οΈ
Yet again @heni and @hirst_official show how fantastic they are at community relations! Discord members were invited to an exclusive screening of NFT:WTF? Director David Shulman and HENI boss Joe Hage were on hand chatting with guests over food and drinks-amazing goodie bags too!

Art becomes currency, currency becomes art. πͺ
With Damien Hirst's The Currency collectors had to choose: burn the token or keep it? 51% chose the physical; a compelling experiment in the value of digital vs physical art.
As the @HENI Discord competition draws to a close, it seems the perfect time to curate the definitive Terry Biscuits π meme collection. Firstly, the originals. These appeared within minutes after posting the photo of me and my #thecurrency before it went into the furnace π§΅π
The group memes have continued, mainly thanks to @holamananaholaβs hard work, including trips to Phillips, conspiracy theories and our first tour. Only this week, for his competition entry, @SmythMrNFT created a @HENI #thecurrency Peter Blake inspired tribute full of Dots

Iβm grateful to everyone in the @heni #thecurrency community who took the time to Photoshop an idiot with a Β£10k telescope into the latest product of their fertile imaginations - especially the ever-productive @holamananahola! Iβd share my last Hobnob with you all - if I had one

A great thing about being a Londoner in #thecurrency community is that I can share pictures of the latest @HENI releases with other members around the world - often taking live requests for close ups and using body parts for scale. Gets me out of the office at lunch too
I first joined the @HENI Discord because Iβd been lucky enough to be allocated a #thecurrency NFT and I needed help knowing what to do with it. Being part of a community wasnβt part of the plan. I didnβt do that kind of thing. Or so I thoughtβ¦π§΅π
And what a party it was! The free goody bags and cocktails were amazing, but the most wonderful part was being with so many people from this incredible community. And it hasnβt stopped since. I still check in everyday and thereβs always someone to chat with.

The greatest thing about the community (apart from the countless benefits weβve received!) is that although it gets harder to make friends as you get older, #thecurrency changed that. And itβs safe to say I didnβt see that coming from buying a painting. Roll on next year! TBxxx
