"The Velvet Underground's first album only sold 10k copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band" - Brian Eno CryptoPunks feels similar. 10,000 pixel art characters that birthed an entire creative movement. Just like those early VU fans went on to reshape music, early Punk collectors went on to build the foundation of what we now call web3. In both cases, a small pioneering group took something weird and experimental and used it as inspiration to create something entirely new. And just like how you can trace so much of alternative music back to Velvet Underground, you can trace so many web3 projects, communities, and companies back to early Punk holders. Sometimes the most profound cultural shifts start with just a few thousand true believers.
