Punk Culture In a Few Words:"...more ideological and less speculative..."Message to Next Punk:"...this is one of the coolest punks that has been super iconic for me...opened a ton of doors, given me lots of opportunity. I hope that whoever values it or gets to use it in the future...gets the same utility and opens the same doors that I was able to open or appreciate it for...just being art on its own and understands the like crazy lore that has happened behind it - it being one of the first claims of Vitalik hack, me thinking I was buying a real punk and it was stolen, like there's a lot of really good lore there, so appreciate it. Hopefully I'm giving this message to me, but if not, great to meet you, whoever else is buying this, and I hope you enjoy it..."Record Date:19 March 2025----------------------------------------------------------PunkCast Linkshttps://twitter.com/punkcastxyzhttp://youtube.com/@punkcastxyzhttps://gallery.so/PunkCastVaultOfficial Punk Linkshttps://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunkshttps://twitter.com/cryptopunksnftsUnofficial Punk Linkshttps://punksdao.io/https://www.punk-dao.xyz/
