When I first entered NFTs in March 2021, I spent a week buying junk. Fortunately, I quickly realized that @larvalabs Cryptopunks were THE blue chip. I purchased 4 punks over the course of the next few weeks. Then a thursday afternoon in april changed everything 1/x
I had just picked up my kids from school and checked twitter. Christies is auctioning cryptopunks? Huh? I started sweating. 30 minutes later i had managed to buy 600-800eth worth of punks. It wasn't until a few days later that I found discord 2/x
Like, literally found discord - had no clue what it was. Joined punks discord. I spent the next 6 weeks lurking and observing. Googling every term and acronym that i didnt understand. Wake up in the morning and read through 8 hours of discussion that I missed while sleeping 3/x
I learned more in the punks discord in those 6 weeks than in 2 years earning an MBA. I continued to accumulate punks - maxxing out at 40ish. I viewed punks as the ultimate NFT store of value while I searched for other things that I loved. 4/x
I used my punks for many large trades and as liquidity for acquiring other NFTs. Punks were a gateway to xcopy / coldie / fewocious / seerlight and 1/1 collecting. A gateway to artblocks. And a gateway to the friends I've been looking for my entire life. 5/x
Somewhere along the way, it changed. 16 hours a day in punks discord became 12 then 8 then 4 then zero. People spread out to private discords, tension between holders and other holders, BAYC stealing the spotlight and LL doing (not doing) things that made me scratch my head 6/x
Fast forward to today - i awoke with anxiety filling stomach - i talk about my "gut" alot but it really speaks to me (it burns when i need to buy and it fills with butterflies when i need to figure something out) - today i thought, it must be mercury retrograde ending tom. 7/x
But i just couldnt shake the feeling that there was more to this anxious feeling. About an hour ago I saw this 8/x
And the anxiety melted away. I knew what I had to do. It is time to sell punk 2311. I wouldn't own stock in a company where the executives constantly tripped over their own feet. Not going to do it here either. Thank you punks for playing a large part in my NFT journey 9/x
At 420PM eastern I will begin a dutch auction on Punk 2311. Starting at 469.69eth and dropping the price by 24.8eth (RIP Kobe) every 14:20. /end larvalabs.com/cryptopunks/de…
