I think /cryptopunks as the first 10k pfp nft in the space have made a massive impact on the culture of NFTs. How we value rare traits, the concept of networked assets, provenance etc - we wouldn’t be here without punks.

great insight on how punks shaped the foundation of nft culture

Punks played a crucial role in defining the rebellious and non-conformist spirit of NFT culture

absolutely - the punk ethos wasn't just about the art or traits, it was about challenging traditional systems and creating new forms of value and community. in many ways, punks were a declaration of independence for digital culture. they showed us that value isn't just in what institutions tell us is valuable, but in what communities collectively decide matters.
