Punks PostPunks Post Mirror Edition #05 - Are We Back? (We Are SO Back)
GM Punks, well, the numbers are in, we’ve collated the opinions and tallied the tweets. As we sit on the brink of another eagerly anticipated NFT Paris, as Punks convene on the City of Love form all corners of the world and as degens kick-off parties in the dazzling lights across Paname, yes, we can make it official. Distinguished Punks of the metaverse and degens of the highest calibre: We are SO back! Of course, of course, not financial advice! BUT even the most ardent of bears would have t...
Punks PostPunks Post Mirror Edition #04 - (That Was) Our Wet Hot Punk Summer.
GM Punks, well, that was the summer that was, and wasn’t. Those of us who have been around long enough to remember the various summers that have been and gone, from DeFi to JPEG, it seems we will remember 2023, as with 2022, for all the wrong reasons. But hey! We’re Punks, right? We don’t sit idly by while the market crab walks sideways. We’re here to build. So, what sort of a summer can we look back on? What summer can we say we took part in this time around, and what are we going to be refl...

GM Punks, never a quiet moment around here, right? Sometimes you get that feeling that you’d like to be back in ‘precedented times’ or you know, maybe not…There we were, mid-April, thinking things were somewhat levelling out, perhaps we were even getting a little respite, were things really starting to look up again? ETH seemed to be on its way back to $2k and NFT market activity was slowing but less, sales and community seemed to be at pretty decent levels! Smiles even, then Shit Coin season...

GM Punks, another month, and another sprawling set of events that take us across the globe. From meet-ups, amazing art and colossal drops through to curious evolutions in Punk trading, more historic moments in Punk lore and general shenanigans all round, it’s been a hell of a few weeks.
The first quarter of 2023 gone in the blink of an eye. The bear seems to crawl along, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t making moves. Quite the opposite, in fact. It seems now more than ever in the last six months, everyone has accepted the new norm. They’re enjoying a slightly LESS volatile environment than during the capricious year of 2022, and are building, creating, and degening their way forward.
Now, with that in mind, we’re here again to bring you the lowdown of what’s been happening with the ever expanding, ever burgeoning Punk community, and there’s certainly a hell of a lot to cover. It’d be some monumental effort to cover it all, but we’ve been keeping a close finger on the Punk Pulse, and are hoping we’ve not missed anything major!
With the long form article here on Mirror, we’re experimenting with the format as we go, but we’re now looking at securing some highlights in the key areas we see Punks thrive in. This includes, but of course is not limited to, art, entrepreneurialism, community, in the wild and the market in general.
So here we go. Let’s take you through some moves our community has been making in the last month and where we might go in the one we’re moving into.
Last month we reported on the ongoing Punks Legacy Project and how amazing it was to hear that Yuga has now donated CryptoPunk #110 to the legendary permanent collection of @CentrePompidou. Well now, we are there!
Our very own @NoahDavis has given a full and in depth interview on the whole thing to The Arts Newspaper, and in a little snippet below, let’s us know that this signals:
“At least that museums are taking this space seriously…” And that museums are starting to, “Understand the potential for blockchain as a medium and NFTs as a medium to augment what artists can do. So having that validation is definitely important”.
Take a dive into the full interview with Noah below, and let him know your own thoughts via his Twitter:
And outside of hangings in world class museums, Punks continue to thrive doing their own thing in the wild across the world. The unstoppable PunkDAO has been organising events across the globe:
A PunkDAO / MeebitsDAO meet in LA:
A PunkDAO Meet in London:
And one that’s very much up and coming for NFT NYC!
Having talked with Arkaydeus, one of the DAO’s leaders, he has told us:
“In an ongoing series, the PunkDAO kicked off their first London meetup on Mar 28th which was a great opportunity for punks to network and enjoy a few beers and pizza together. They're hoping to organise more events in the UK and across the globe, so if you're interested in helping organise something in your locality, please reach out to @arkaydeus.”
In a new section for the long form Mirror articles, we’re taking a look at Punks within the marketplace, the evolution and developments. Of course, one of the major stories over the last month has been Punks coming to Blur and the overall impact that has had on the marketplace, the floor, and the style of trading that we now see around Punks, new collectors, flippooors and everyone else.
As NFTStatistics points out now:
The impact of Blur airdrop farming: The average punk with at least one trade has traded 9 times in March. In the six-year history of punks, this number had never been above 1.7.
An incredible statistic to say the least, and a lot of Punks have come out to voice their opinions on this development, we’ve plucked a few of the voices with links below:
PunksOTC have been leading the way:
Machi Big Brother quizzing the crowds:
NFTStatistics showing the numbers:
It’s been a very interesting time, and with PunkDAO now teaming up with ForeverPunks to bring their own marketplace to the table, what is the future of Punk trading, and will we ever see the stability of the first years that we witnessed ever again?
Quite frankly, and as I’m sure you’re well aware, we love all Punks and what they get up to! That being said, we still want to bring you a few highlights from the previous month, and so without further ado, we’re taking a look at two amazing characters within our space.
Quick Lowdown - Over the last month we’ve seen some amazing sales from this storytelling, conceptual leaning photographer. From selling out on Proof to 1/1 sales across the board, he’s seen a very worthy expansion in his profile and collectors in recent weeks, and we just had to give him a little round of applause.
In his own words: I was caught in Tokyo for 9 months while flying back home to Mexico. A friend told me about NFTs, 2 years later here I am growing with the space. I always dreamed of becoming an artist, and thanks to everyone that has supported my journey I am one. I’m here to hopefully continue to solidify my name as an established artist both in Web3 and IRL, and mentoring other artists that need more exposure, and help new collectors learn about digital art.
Check out his work:
Quick Lowdown: A well known Punk in the space, Matt, as he puts it himself, is a creator, collector, curator as well as founder. A vocal part of the space, Matt helps champion artists and entrepreneurs alike through his ever expanding platform, NFT Now. It’s because of this and the success he’s had with the recent NFT Now Pass drop, we wanted to put our little spotlight on him this month.
In his own words: Tokenizing media allows people who are in the moment who feel the resonance, who understand and believe in the vision, and I understand and I want to take this journey with them, they’re able to share in this ride. They’re able to go from just being fans to also being in some sense, shareholders, and that’s the power of tokenized media. It’s giving people ownership in storytelling.
Check out his work:
Well, we can’t go on and on and on, as much as we’d like to. There’s a million and one other things that have happened in the last month, and I’m sure even by the time you’re reading this, a series more will have already have happened. If you want the full lowdown then be sure to join us on THE DISCORD…And well, okay, just a few more bits:
Adam Ape sees the successful launch of Iron Paw Gang and 24 hour sell out mint:
Punks in the wild continuing to support art in the wild:
Grail Punks continuing to demand high prices:
And how could we finish up without mentioning the hilarious viral tweet from NFTNick? You think people will know he’s a Punk:
Okay, that’s us for this edition. As always Punks Post is brought to you by galbraith.eth and is made possible by the support of Yuga Labs’ first CryptoPunks grant.
If you have news, ideas and feedback for us, find us on Twitter and @ricgalbraith, and remember to jump into the Punks Post Discord channel to share your news and features.
While we do our best to make sure everything we share is accurate at the time of publication, this space moves super fast, so be sure to do your own research!
And remember frens, none of this is financial advice.
