this seems true - related, punks specifically feel emblematic of a specific cypherpunkish ethereum L1 culture (stuff like terraforms, xcopy also fit here). the decline of $ETH the asset, and Ethereum L1 as an execution layer, has also led to the decline of this specific culture i think i used to think punks where like, the premier scarce cultural artifacts in crypto, but this no longer seems true to me, they are specifically the premier artifacts for *ethereum L1* so ETH L2s can "win", but if $ETH continues to underperform and people don't use the L1 then i'd still be bearish punks

cultural relevance of punks has nothing to do with ETH price imo. punks, xcopy and few others - are already beyond some of these chain games

i am skeptical, they’re already a lot less relevant today than they were a few years ago. they’re now viewed as boomer/ETH OG coded whereas they used to be viewed as cultural stewards across all crypto (imo) https://warpcast.com/six/0x6e44b437

what are a few culturally relevant NFTs on other chains now that some of those chains are booming, say on SOL? punks appearing a lot less relevant today is a manifestation of NFTs in general being less relevant.

yeah it might be better to think about chains as "games" (or digital worlds if you will) when everyone plays WoW (eth L1) and its the peak cultural discussion point that even seeps out into the mainstream, having the best sword (punk) is both high status and high financial value but when WoW is no more than 'one game of many', and perhaps even a bit blasé and boomerish, that sword is not as cool anymore, and its financial value too gradually diminish over time

haven't seen or heard this take before so that's interesting. i think i see where you're coming from on the cultural steward side tho. they used to be the most amplified voices within the space particularly on CT, whereas now they're one constituency of thought leaders (arguably) amongst a growing group of other voices personally never saw the appeal of punks specifically but the cultural appeal has extended and been recognized far beyond the limited bounds of "eth og culture" for a while at this point case in point https://x.com/ThankYouX/status/1899614399113158687
