1/After 3 weeks (80 hours) of research I am happy to begin sharing my Pepe findings in a new šŸ§µseries:

"The #Pepe Principles"

Part 1 - The Birth of Pepe the Frog Image
2/Boy's Club

Pepe the Frog is a cartoon green anthropomorphic frog with a humanoid body

@Matt_Furieā€™s imagination gave birth to the iconic character in the 2005 comic Boy's Club Image
3/Feels Good Man

During the comic

Pepe urinates with his pants pulled down to his ankles, and in the last panel says [it] "feels good manā€

Fun Fact: Pepe was named as such because it reminded Furie of ā€œpee peeā€ Image

Yesterday, we acquired a couple of v1 Punks (@v1punks) from legendary collector @straybits1. It is perhaps our most exciting acquisition to date. Some thoughts:
Our mandate is to acquire rare, unique, and historically significant NFTs; this much is reflected in our portfolio that is heavily weighted towards #HistoricalNFTs. We have a #Blockhead, #TwitterEggs, #SoG #RarePepes, #MoonCats, etc. alongside specimen like our gold fur #BAYC
We were first made aware of the v1 market through @LeonidasNFT (you can view his NFT timeline via his pinned tweet) We immediately began digging into the story of @v1punks, which are the first iteration of CryptoPunks by @larvalabs and pre-dated the collection as we now know it

Comprises #digitalart but also #jpegs of physical art (photographed canvases, illustrations...) sold as jpegs on NFT marketplaces

Due to megasales like @Beeple's this category got all the headlines during the 1st NFT Mania of Feb-Apr'21

Then focus moved to On the left sales page for a painting of Sean Jantzi on the

A thread on #rarepepes

1/ So, as some of you have noticed, I've dived headfirst into the wild and wonderful world of NFT's the last month. In that time, I stumbled upon #RarePepes, and I've been obsessed ever since. There is so much history and culture and art wrapped up...
2/ ... in these creations. One of the coolest things about it though has been meeting and interacting with all the OG members of the community. Free cards, funny banter, and a willingness to help newbies like myself understand the technology are all hallmarks of the group.
3/ One of the biggest standouts is the OG whale known only as BuddhaAF. Buddha has one of the top pepe collections in the world, and he wants nothing more than to share everything RarePepe with everyone. So, when I...

I enjoy helping people find vintage #NFT treasures ahead of the market tsunami.
I did this when #cryptopunks were under 2 ETH & for a while now I've been alerting people to
#SpellsofGenesis and #RarePepes
I have some other thoughts to share... (NFA)

It is clear that the two most important #NFT relics - which laid the foundations for the entire NFT/CryptoArt movement - are #spellsofgenesis and #rarepepes. These pioneered the golden NFT emergence age (2014-2016) and none others are in the same league for significance...

#SpellsofGenesis (2015) 1st collectibles on chain. 1st tokenised gaming assets. 1st multiverse assets

#RarePepes (2016) The project credited with spawing the global cryptoart movement.

Both have lifted of late, but remain highly under-valued relative to their significance

* * * * * HOW TO BUY RARE PEPES * * * * *

1/ Since my last thread went viral,
I've been receiving a continuous stream of DMs from people asking how to buy #RarePepes

So here goes the most succinct & simple overview that I could put together

2/ WHY PEPES MATTER?

#RarePepes are the first Art project in the history of NFTs.

They were also very popularā€”in that sense, they were to Bitcoin what #CryptoPunks are to Ethereum.

This makes their rediscovery one of the greatest opportunities in #NFTs at the moment.

3/ WHY ARE RARE PEPES STILL UNDERVALUED?

Because they were damn difficult to buy!

Bitcoin wasn't initially conceived for NFTs,
so until very recently, you needed to get into complex interfaces that kept non-techie investors away.

All of this has changed... Screen capture of a Bitcoin/Counterparty user interface.

1/ My three favorite too-old-to-fail #NFT projects:

> RarePepes
> CryptoArte
> CurioCards

The 3 are the oldest in their respective categories

The 3 are still greatly undervalued compared to the 2nd oldest

2/ #RarePepes
The oldest popular NFT project in history

It's older than the 2nd oldest popular project (CryptoPunks) but much cheaper.

Eg:
most expensive CryptoPunk ever sold >> $ 11.7 Million
most expensive rare pepe (a 1/1 piece) >> $300k.

That's 40x room to grow!

3/ #CurioCards
The oldest collectible on Ethereum

It's older than the 2nd oldest Ethereum collectible project (CryptoPunks) and yet much cheaper.

Eg:
global CryptoPunks sales to date: 328k Īž
global CurioCards sales to date: 9k Īž

Again, that's 40x room to grow!
