🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage. Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-just-foun…

Today I sold my V2 punk to purchase more V1s. It's becoming clear that the V1/V2 punk argument rests solely on the latter group's ability to brand themselves as "real" through their social network. If the story of the flawed V1 contract were to play out today, duplicating and then airdropping the new collection would be an unacceptable solution. This made all punks 1 of 2s, with V1 punks as the “first editions” of these assets. In all other collectible classes, the earlier editions of something are more sought after. This is also generally true of the scarcer misprint variants of assets - there are far fewer V1s still in circulation. The solution was accepted at the time of the V1 exploit because there were minimal options with which to view onchain assets - what Larva Labs platformed was what everyone got to interact with. With the introduction of third party marketplaces and the V1 wrapping contract, this ceased to be the case. Very few people in the community back in the day had enough foresight to realise that all LL had done was sweep the originals under the rug. The narrative that V2s are in some way superior is defended largely by the snobbish type of collector who judges art only by its price, and has an emotional attachment to the status that owning this asset gives them. They see attempts to discuss the onchain truth of the story as an attack on their gated social group and the sunk cost of their investment. This is ignorance of the provenance uniquely available through the blockchain, and an elitist rejection of another community as a way of preserving capital; they are neither ‘crypto’ nor ‘punk’. Any newcomer to onchain collecting, being exposed to the publicly verifiable and immutable information available surrounding these collections, would judge V1s - at less than 10% the price of the V2s - as the more grounded choice. There are a handful of common counterarguments. V1s are unable to use their original in-contract marketplace because of the exploit, but this experience has been abstracted into existence. The chains of ownership are different as they fork after the V2 airdrop, meaning they have different social networks, but V1s have a nascent community capturing the more historically minded. V1s do not receive the same IP rights as V2s, although onchain PfP IP has proven to be rarely utilized. There are 20,000 punks. The V1 punks are the original cryptopunks that were claimed on June 9th, 2017. The later V2 punks have the backing of their creators and are more well known, benefitting disproportionately from this publicity. This is a fascinating case of art undergoing a literal schism - one collection to serve the will of the artist, and the other becoming inseparable from its foundations, the machine it was built to showcase. This machine will outlive us, and with it, the story of how a failure of imagination led to the burying of the truth of its icons.

@RaoulGMI @batsoupyum Good convo. NFTs didn’t just digitize art, they digitized the market. The medium and marketplace now move as one, enabling real-time reach, instant feedback, and transparent ownership that drives cultural relevance. All of this aligns with a generation conditioned for immediacy.

Due to popular demand, here is your guide to collecting digital art with the great @batsoupyum... Enjoy!

Is it time for a podcast featuring @notthreadguy and @frankNFT_eth, the Solidity dev who brought V1 @v1punks CryptoPunks back to life with an ERC-721 wrapper, enabling trading on modern NFT platforms?

WTF CryptoPunk versions?! After this week's @CozomoMedici V1 poll and @beeple V-Zero joke last night I'm reminded that lots of people still don't know the history. Having written about this specifically many times over the last few years I thought refresher might be helpful. 1/

$BTC up 48% in the last 45 days…that rise and given time period has happened twice since early December 🤯 🚀

Before I share details about my personal experience and who is involved, first allowing some security teams to work through their process, i'd like to share with you the tactics used to take COMPLETE CONTROL of your computer. ↓This setting is ON by DEFAULT on @Zoom ↓

@Sina_21st @dotkrueger

- Remote risk - many many decades away. Probably outside of our life span. - claims of progress exaggerated - risk is shared with every other country and army and institution and company who will find solutions well before the problem becomes a problem - the fork will solve it Conclusion: hodl on!

@saylor #bitcoin100k

@beaniemaxi @lior_eth Logic, math and basic investment terminology explained yet there’s still resistance. Favorite thread of the day.

@lior_eth Cause that’s the definition of outperformance?

I took alot of heat for saying that V1 CryptoPunks would undoubtedly outperform V2 a few months ago. And outperform it has. By a mile actually. While the tl is celebrating V2 doubling off the lows, V1 CryptoPunks have done nearly a 4x. I expect this outperformance to accelerate.

@bluerock2001 I can still hear this gif

When will we hit BTC 1 MM? My Power Law estimates. Shortest Date: Jan 2031. (6 years, 7 months) Expected Date: Jan 2034 (9 years, 7 months) Longest Date: July 2037 (13 years, 1 month) 68% chance of it being between shortest and longest date.

@CryptoPunksOG V1 👽

You can get one of these #CryptoPunks for free, which do you choose? V1 #5822 alien V2 #5705 clean male 🔥

@V1punker @Elypse_Pink @v1punks 🙋‍♂️

If you are a V1punk and want to join the X/twitter group chat for @v1punks let us know here below or in discord and someone will add you asap. 👍 100+ in there and there should be a couple hundred more to add or more. 💜
