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.
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 !
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.
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
@punksOTC 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.
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?
Lots of discussion on how v1s should be presented.
My lean is just however you want. An NFT holding value comes from the market viewing that asset as unique, and the market already does this.
Trying to police how people display other assets just seems like a poor use of time.
There will continue to be scammers in all corners of this industry. Some will be there to sell you v1 punks, some will be there to sell you punks, some will be there to sell you eth

Ok tell them to abandon the crypto space or at absolute minimum abandon self-custody.
The moment you take custody of your own assets, you take responsibility for the transactions you place
