- airdrop, not open mint, so no whales 
- airdropped by @dwr.eth 
- required proof of work/engagement (ie, an active badge) during a time when you still needed an invite 
- marks historic event (when protocol went permissionless)
- OG branding

Other early Farcaster NFTs are also booming (FarCats & Castaways by @0xen)
