1/n Why I just spent another 6.9ETH to buy #cryptophunk at 3AM despite being the largest holder of Phunks, a thread:

2/n I posted about phunks just an hour ago after finishing a long day of work at @impossiblefi, finishing up our launch of @Ariadne_finance. The community took me by surprise and retweeted the hell out of my tweet within minutes.

3/n The #cryptophunk community is a group of incredibly tight knit, buidler focused folks who bonded into this community when Opensea decided to remove the asset from its marketplace.

The assets feature the iconic cryptopunks image, simply mirrored over the Y axis to face left.

4/n In an argument of what is "original" versus what is unique, I think it should be up to communities to decide what is value or art and what is accessible onchain.

5/n To me, blockchains and cryptocurrencies are built on communities and an opportunity to create censorship resistant ecosystems, not recreate the same walled gardens that stifle innovation from traditional worlds.

6/n Phunks to me aren't an investment, but rather a statement to support anti-censorship and support communities that build real stuff in the face of adversity. Go to wherever builders are building

7/n over the course of about a month, i saw folks like @Pauly0x help spearhead all kinds of outreach to find some of the collectors and holders, and unite folks to help build notlarvalabs.com

8/n I've seen this community repeatedly speak up and join as real participants in everything from twitter spaces with @uniwhalesio and just mobilize in an instant~

9/n Here's to next wave of community-first builders that will be coming out of the #cryptophunks community.

I will personally sponsor 4 Phunks as rewards for the 3 best hackathon projects that incorporate Phunks (2 phunks for the top team). submission Deadline will Christmas~

10/n Come build and be a part of the community!

@Pauly0x can you make a new #hackathon channel?

Let's see what other bounty rewards will other folks put up as well for some creative hacks!

11/n Any other projects or folks wanna throw some other builder rewards?
I'll put aside an extra phunk reward for the best project that collaborates other existing NFT and defi projects and ecosystems, such as @impossiblefi, @10b57e6da0, @gitcoin & @Meta_Cartel

12/n so who will build the next combo of characters to combine with loot & mloot? @dhof what do you think?AGLD to pay for swaps, moves, some @EtherRock paper scissors games? Let's build it together!
