Strategic CryptoPunks Reserve

imagine having a trillion dollars and not even one cryptopunk

Punks ded

There's a guy who has been posting that he's on a mission to get a punk every day for the last 898 days in the cryptopunk discord He finally made it happen this weekend

Very thankful to have just acquired the remaining 805 Meebits from the historic Larva Labs collection. With this acquisition, the Collection becomes the largest Meebits assemblage in the world with 1036 works including Meebit #8368, the extremely rare Dissected.

Fixed pricing only works when the market is liquid and items are fungible. Punks are neither. punks.auction/ @punksauctions

Had some deep conversations with @sergitosergito on the way to NFT Lisbon regarding the future direction of @MeebitsNFTs, my pick for one of the top 5 NFT projects of all time. @larvalabs at their very best, just have a very strong connection to this wonderful collection. It was actually my first NFT I ever acquired a few years back !

Punk 6652 in a new collection today. @canonpunks

CryptoPunks #5966 has a new home, selling for 35.2 WETH via GONDI’s “Stealth Bid.” The buyer placed a stealth bid privately through GONDI, allowing the seller to view and accept it directly on-platform. The Punk was also tied to a 26 WETH loan and was seamlessly sold using the “Sell & Repay” feature — enabling the loan to be repaid at the point of sale. End-to-end collector-efficient tooling in action.

It seems like once or twice a year, the v1 punk shillers come out of their caves to sell their v1 bags to unsuspecting new bag holders, then the floor drops… rinse and repeat. I forgot the last reason v1s were better than v2s, but I think it was mid-summer 2025.

Power rankings of who I'd like to have dinner with from least to most: - uses a PFP of an NFT they pretend to own for internet clout - Brian Armstrong - uses a PFP of an NFT they own and pretend it is a different NFT than it is in hopes people will think it is more valuable than it is - uses a PFP of an NFT the artist doesn't support, but they do what they can to make it clear the artist doesn't support it - an ordinary person who may or may not be into NFTs

My position on this and why I chose this background color: I don’t agree with changing the art itself. Unwrapping a V1 isn’t transformative. It’s the original art and the original state of the token. I moved away from the lavender because that represents the wrapper state, not the punk itself. Since unwrapped V1s use transparency, I chose a darker gray background instead. Black loses the pixel outline. White cheapens the presentation. Using the original V2 blue creates unnecessary confusion between contracts. So for me the most logical solution is dark gray: #444444 Neutral. Clear. Distinct from V2 while preserving the original artwork. Side note, 444 is also associated with stability and alignment in numerology, which feels fitting for preserving historical context rather than altering it.

It is high to sweep! It could also be a not great addition. Interesting- as a reference point- what would my choice to own 130 of one, and 0 of the other suggest?

5963 and 7479 in one wallet 👌

Sir, I see this collection and raise you this guys collection. Best collection built last year imo.

Even the greatest investors make mistakes.

Dan Sundheim, who is about to make $20 billion off the SpaceX IPO, has been loading up on cryptopunks this year. Unlikely to be as successful as his SpaceX bet, but I think he'll 10x on this digital art portfolio.
