KEY POINTS
Renowned non-fungible token (NFT) collector and artist, Cozomo de’ Medici, recently announced his largest giveaway to date — dubbed “The Medici Stimmy.”
Taking to X (Twitter) on May 3rd, de’ Medici highlighted the economic woes faced by many, stating, “Has your government done you wrong, anon? Klaus Schwab & Joe Boden’s inflation stealing your gains?”
Then he reassured his followers with, “Do not fear. Uncle Cozomo is here. Announcing my biggest giveaway ever…”
The giveaway, open to those engaging with his social media content, offers prizes including a new iPad, an Apple Pencil, and even a MacBook Pro, with the goal of spreading art and placing artist tools in “good hands.”
Additionally, de’ Medici teased smaller prizes, encouraging followers to share their ETH and SOL addresses for a chance to win.
The post garnered significant attention, amassing over 3,200 comments and more than 1,400 likes.
This level of engagement is unsurprising given de’ Medici’s relevance in the NFT community and his track record of notable philanthropy.
In February 2023, he made headlines by donating 22 NFTs to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, including pieces like CryptoPunk #3831 by Larva Labs, Woman n° 001 by Yam Karkai, and Ringers #962 by Dmitri Cherniak.
De’ Medici’s initiatives reflect a broader effort to boost interest in NFT art, which has seen a decline in popularity since its peak in 2021 and 2022. Recent data shows a notable decrease in Ethereum-based NFT sales, dropping from $489 million in March to $240 million last month.
