As AI expands to create infinite digital items, blockchain will be the backbone to authenticate and understand which have meaning and value and why. In this new era, CryptoPunks will be ancient relics from a pre-historic time. The first CryptoPunks will be even more ancient.

@CozomoMedici v1 = original v2 = official

What’s your opinion on V1 punks?

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

@beaniemaxi v1 original v2 official

CryptoPunks are the CryptoKitties of the 2021 NFT bull market. Prices are down bad with a cringe corporate VC vibe and a few undocumented and unverifiable large sales that couldn’t even hype the market. I’ll take a V1 over a V2 as it has no Yuga execution risk or related baggage.

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

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

@straybits @punksOTC @ritzyeth CryptoPunks are iconic. Understandable that some people like the first ones.

@punksOTC @ritzyeth Well it did exist before both cryptokitties and punks v2 did

Ok but seriously. Who has an ape or alien they want to sell me?

@v1punks are the originals, @cryptopunks 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💜

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

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.

@Elypse_Pink @v1punks

Ultimate mega @v1punks follow @v1punks thread. Post your punk. Follow every other punk.

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

Very pleased that the created date for @v1punks was corrected on @opensea, thank you. Judging by the market, our crypto gods were pleased too.

@FreddieRaynolds @cryptopunks @v1punks One is official, one is first, both are great.

Best summary of @cryptopunks vs @v1punks debate?

Original CryptoPunk No. 9657 (2017)

@v1punks v2 are great - official CryptoPunks v1 are great - original CryptoPunks

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 and Daft Punk. An experiment in artificial rarity & ownership recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, CryptoPunks would inspire the ERC-721 token standard and help birth the industry we know today. The impact of their work has changed the lives of many in our space & seen artists all over the world benefit from a new, direct, means to earn a living from their trade, via NFTs. Early claimants and collectors worldwide have seen their lives completely transformed by Punks & many of the most influential and accomplished in our space now choose to use a Punk as their online identity. To date CryptoPunks have featured in multi-million dollar auctions by both Christie's and Sotheby's and been donated to museums across the world including ICA Miami, LACMA and Centre Pompidou. In 2024, a first-of-its-kind feature-length documentary film is set to be released chronicling the CryptoPunks story.

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