@OrdinalPunks And there are 100 Ordinal Punks among the first 642 inscriptions ever made on Bitcoin. A remarkable 100 out of Bitcoin's first 642 inscriptions!
Unwrapped my V1 today.
And honestly… it felt far more meaningful to me than simply “moving an asset.”
I didn’t buy a V1 because I thought it would outperform financially. I bought one because I believe what CryptoPunks unlocked... Digitally native ownership, identity, provenance, permanence, networked culture is one of the most important technological and cultural shifts of the internet era. An enormous amount of what exists onchain today is downstream of what @matthall2000 and @pents90 pulled off in 2017.
So being able to unwrap my Punk and interact directly with that original genesis contract for the first time felt... significant. Like touching a foundational layer of internet history more directly.
Very grateful to @jalilwahdat and @yougogirl_eth for caring enough about provenance, continuity, and onchain purity to explore this path. I genuinely don’t think people fully appreciate how important this development may turn out to be long term.
