About the future of $MINER We need to talk. I created “Never Give Up” in 2008, right on the eve of the biggest global financial crisis in decades. My art was born in that chaos and fit perfectly into the pain and hope of millions. It became a refuge, fuel, a battle cry for anyone who refused to give up. Coincidentally, or as I truly believe, by divine design, just months later Bitcoin came into the world. Two symbols of resilience, born almost side by side. To me, this isn’t chance: it’s God’s script. Throughout this journey, of course I sought knowledge and asked for help from Pump Fun. I owe them a huge thank you for being a true home for artists, a platform that opened its doors and allowed creators like me to turn vision into digital reality. Thanks to them, my art, which has already touched hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, has grown new wings in the crypto space. When I chose to embrace $MINER, my eyes lit up with the same fire I felt drawing that first line nearly 18 years ago. Seeing so many lives touched, so many people reigniting their perseverance, it reignited everything in me. $MINER isn’t just a token: it’s the vehicle that lets me fund the global spread of the “Never Give Up” message. Expanding the IP rights to $MINER is adding an important chapter to my long journey as an artist. It’s the chapter that connects my past struggles to the legacy I’m building for the future. I know some still question my intentions. So here’s my most honest message: from day one, I entered this knowing I’ll go all the way, until my final breath. I’ve never done anything halfway. Not in old jobs, not in decades-long projects, not in my lifelong marriage. Quit after 17 years carrying this flag? Never. For the first time in nearly two decades, I’m exploring every possible content format. Together with the community, we’ll bring the two characters from the artwork to life in new drawings, always honoring the untouchable core of the original piece. The story doesn’t change: it evolves. After me, the story doesn’t end. My legacy passes to my daughters. The custody of $MINER will be theirs, then to my grandchildren, great-grandchildren. An immutable digital inheritance on the blockchain, more valuable than any photo or vault. My descendants will have eternal proof that “Never Give Up” spanned generations. I locked my tokens for 5 years, until December 2030, right before turning 60 and retiring. I’m not here to play: I’m here to make history alongside the greatest names in art. I’m more excited and determined than ever for the next 17 years. Never Give Up.

If your time hasn’t come yet, just don’t stop. Not seeing diamonds along the path doesn’t mean you’re going the wrong way. Sometimes diamonds are scattered in every direction - but you still have to walk the full distance to reach them. Keep mining. Never stop. You were this close to finding them… but someone else simply refused to quit, and they got there first.
