For those of you who use a PFP as your bio photo, do you worry you’re establishing a brand identity that is too similar to potentially thousands of other people?

You can select a pfp that aligns with your brand, values. There isn’t one best pfp, there are many. Like changing your hair, clothing etc. Brands evolve.

Yeah. Have the same concern when I meet people face to face. That's why I've scheduled a face tattoo for thursday.

It's a good point and something I hadn't considered. I definitely have a hard time keeping track of all the mutant apes on twitter. Kind of all the same to me.

now that you mention it, I think it is alienating to outsiders. most mutant apes all look the same to me; bored apes are a wee bit more diverse. I can identify people by their creatures but I’m also very active in the community. I’m sure most outsiders can’t tell us apart.

mine's a custom DeFi Friend by Strawberry that I collaborated to create and there are only 84 of them, so no :) https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/52957331311887035027473807432644748246502873594021011677625263980540443230209

I would also argue that a pfp is more memorable / easier to spot in such a small screen and format. The pfp may actually increase your brand value just by the nature of it being more recognizable.

I considered this when making my Twitter, but I ultimately concluded it was more in the web3 ethos to embrace the pseudo-anonymity of a pfp nft. I’ve reconsidered the cost-benefit lately, but I kind of enjoy the challenge of making my content/name stand out more than my face.

Pfps can be used to build a personal brand. I’m using my pfp as a character in my comic book and I dress like her to most of the web 3 events I attend. Everyone identifies me with my pink hair and pfp both both offline and offline. I only collect pink pfps. It’s cool my avatar represents me both online and offline

as someone who has trouble remembering IRL faces, I tend to group people into buckets so it's nice that pfps handle that grouping for me

No, not trying to establish a brand identity, but so far pfp fits well with the purple app.

Nice to see you already on here Mr Bored Elon! As for the question.. Not to be insensitive or disrespectful to anyone, but when I see a PFP of a person, it is just as much similar to thousands if not more. As unique as we all think we are.

I think less about the similarities and more about the free promo I’m giving a project/community. My thought/hope is that by raising the visibility of my particular PFP that I can sell it for more later?
