I canโ€™t describe how happy I am right now. Something that felt nearly impossible a few years ago just became reality. My obsession with CryptoPunks started years back, when buying even a floor Punk felt like a huge achievement. Getting one you could truly โ€œimmortalize yourself inโ€ was nearly impossibleโ€ฆ let alone pairing it with its V1 Punk. Over time, I realized I wanted a Big Beard Punk. That wasnโ€™t easy. I hesitated many timesโ€ฆ until my 40th birthday, when I finally pulled the trigger. My first Big Beard Punk was great, but it had the โ€œstringy hairโ€ trait, one I never loved. So I kept watching the market, and a few days ago, @whynotmeNFT listed his Big Beard Punk, with Shaved Hair and Earning, which I really liked. I reached out, we agreed on a deal, and with the help of @justinaversano it was done. My forever Punk had arrived!!! But thenโ€ฆ I looked for its V1 pairing. Turns out it was in the hands of @tonyherrera, a gentleman Iโ€™d met at a Web3 event. I told him I wanted to complete my Punkโ€™s provenance, and guess what? He proposed a swap with another V1 Big Beard I owned. And just like thatโ€ฆ I completed the full provenance of my Punks. My Big Beard Punk and its V1 brother, finally reunited.

Posted a Nifty Gateway nostalgia thread last night and woke up to @trevorjonesart, @Coldie and @rocketgirlART in my replies, all still here and still making art. This is why I never left ๐Ÿ™ Which artist have you collected the longest?
Remember when Nifty Gateway drops crashed the site and millions sold out in five minutes? Nifty itself shut down this year, and some of the biggest artists from that era have gone almost silent. Where are they now? ๐Ÿงต

Not everyone vanished though. @sixnfive went physical with stone and light installations, @fewocious is hand painting boxing gloves and old clocks, and @_dotpigeon moved to acrylics on linen. DotPigeon on Nifty closing: "End of an era, a golden one." ๐Ÿฉต

That era made artists millionaires in five minutes, then went quiet almost as fast. Who do you miss most from the Nifty days? And who did I forget? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Peter Schiff calling a $BTC crash is the most reliable signal in crypto. Just not the way he thinks ๐Ÿ˜‚ Long weekend? Bitcoiners have had longer ones.
JUST IN: Peter Schiff says Bitcoin is going to crash to $75,000. "It's going to be a very long weekend for Bitcoiners."
