Punks are gonna be worth 2X apes.

Knock knock... CryptoPunks ᵛ¹

When dust settles there are at least two NFT collections that stand the test of time: CryptoPunks & original CryptoPunks.

original orig·i·nal 1: of, relating to, or constituting an origin or beginning: INITIAL 2a: not secondary, derivative, or imitative 2b: being the first instance or source from which a copy, reproduction, or translation is or can be made

No. 9766 of the first CryptoPunks.

First series CryptoPunk - No. 3929. Released June 9, 2017, by Larva Labs.

I still have the first non-LarvaLabs claimed CryptoPunk - V1 #3983. Phew!

CryptoPunks, released June 9 2017, are widely considered the most influential NFT collection ever produced. Artists Matt Hall & John Watkinson, through their company Larva Labs, created 10,000 uniquely generated characters inspired by the London punk scene, cypherpunk movement

Original CryptoPunk No. 9657 (2017)

Very pleased that the created date for CryptoPunks ᵛ¹ was corrected on OpenSea, thank you. Judging by the market, our crypto gods were pleased too.

CryptoPunks No. 1119 First series (June 9, 2017) #NewProfilePic

CryptoPunks v2 - the official collection CryptoPunks v1 - the first collection

The 1952 Topps baseball card set is iconic. Suppose the set was first released with all cards missing their backside print, and then they were fixed and re-released as the official set. The first release would also be iconic. v1 CryptoPunks are the first release of CryptoPunks.

V1 Cryptopunks (Wrapped) - V1 PUNK #5577 Sold for: 100.0 Ether (USD 189,412.74) #cryptopunks #v1cryptopunks #NFT #HNFT #PFP

It's a CryptoPunk, but it's from the first set released, aka Version 1 or V1.

CryptoPunks ᵛ¹ are the originals, @cryptopunksnfts are the official. I love collecting the original v1 tokens that were claimed in 2017 but the official collection and community are what built punks into what they are today. I promise it's okay to like & support both💜

The first cryptocurrency is fascinating, as are the first CryptoPunks.

They're called version 1 because they're the first CryptoPunks.
