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...
Punks PostPunks Post Mirror Edition #01 - An Expanding World
GM Punks, well, what can we say? It’s been a quick minute. In the blink of an eye, we’ve gone from what was the barrage of late 2022 and into the wonder of 2023, with all the weird and wild opportunities that have exploded from this relentless year so far. Two months in and it half feels like the collapses, liquidations and rolling panic of 2022 were some sort of fever dream that passed as quick as they came. Well, we’re still here, well on our way to taking a solid chunk out of 2023, and in ...

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 began…AND BOOM.
For those who are about to degen, we salute you.
Whether you came out on top, whether you lost it all, whether rekt or WAGMI, everyone has to admit it has been one helluva time over the last month or so. The idea of sleep? Gone. Aping into everything and anything with the weirdest names and laziest websites? Done. Money lost, money gained, stories upon stories, and now the dust is settling, the fallout seems somewhat surreal.
And what did we do as Punks? Well, business as usual for many of us, only adding an extra reason not to sleep, or as the case may be, reigniting an old reason, or maybe even just turbo charging a current one?
But the building never stopped, Punks continued on their usual run, creating art, building businesses, generating amazing content and expanding the community. Indeed, we even saw a few instances where those that got in early on Shitcoin Season were able to drive their profit back into Punks, sometimes making dreams come true.
So, we’re still here, still building, still degenning for sure, but still expanding our community and culture and being the best Punks can be. Long may it continue! And! Before you head off into the links below, if you’re here from Twitter and want to see the full expanded Links version of the Post, be sure to jump into the Discord.
So, let’s get stuck in.
We’ve mentioned a few times now about the Punks Legacy Project and how CryptoPunk #110 has been donated to the legendary permanent collection of @CentrePompidou.
Now the visitors (and degens) are pouring through the doors to see this piece of modern digital art up in one of the most prestigious modern art galleries in the world!
Beyond the art galleries, Punks continue to thrive across the world in various degen meet-ups, hangouts, events and conferences. The amazing Punks DAO continue on their mission to bring Punks together across all corners of the planet.
The NFT NYC Brunch happened! (Where coincidentally we got this issue’s amazing cover shot!)
Making friends and influencing people.
Bright Moments Tokyo also saw a colossal gathering of Punks for their event!
The Consensus Austin happy hour took place with drinks being shared.
Also at Consensus Austin there was a ‘Holders Breakfast’ held
And next is the next Punks Brunch from The Punk DAO at NFC Lisbon!
As you can see, Punk DAO continue spearheading and leading the way with awesome brunches and meets, gathering amazing sponsors along the way to help provide opportunities for us all to come together across the globe. Long may it continue!
As we mentioned in the last edition, we’re continuing to take a small look at Punks in the marketplace and how the current trends have been impacting Punks. Considering the previous editions look at how Blur listings had considerable impact on the trading of Punks, things now seem to have somewhat levelled off.
As the ‘Eye of Sauron’ shifted from Blur token farming to Shit Coin Season, it became apparent that the situation with Punks and their trading was also going to calm. The floor has levelled out and has remained calm at around the 50 ETH / $100,000 mark.
As the market continues to slow, it’s apparent that Punks remain a strong store of value. The floor has barely fluctuated as other projects of similar ilk have seen their plummet considerably.
Interestingly, this thread also from NFTStatistics helps point out how the onboarding of the space has slowed to an almost stand still. Whilst some projects will always remain ‘grails’ - and Punks are clearly part of that list - if there’s no new people coming into the space, where will we be in the coming weeks, months, years?
Mando takes on the discussion in the thread above, what are your thoughts? Are NFTs finally ‘ded’ or have we finally seen the bottom and the bounce back into the bull is about to come? Whatever what the market goes, one thing we can be confident of is the ability for Punks to continue to perform, make amazing sales, be a store of value and of course, look cool as fuck and bring you into one of the greatest global communities around.
Every edition we come to sit down and look at the development of this community, the artists, the entrepreneurs, the workers, the builders, and each edition we’re blown away. We can’t cover everyone and everything, but we’re here to try and bring you what we can. So, carrying on the very new tradition from the last edition here’s a bit on Punks in the arts and those Venture Punks!

The studio: “We’re dpop studios — a creative studio building film, NFT, and #Media3 projects. We’re currently in production on our feature film about cryptoart, “I’m New Here.”

Yash Bora went through over 2000 tweets from the Punks account. The first tweet from @cryptopunksnfts was on August 7th, 2009. Here are the most iconic ones:
Punks got mainstream attention in China where Cryptopunks were shown on Hunan TV, the second largest Chinese TV station!
