cryptopunks are proof that you didn’t even try. there is nothing more sad in life that the cohort of individuals who simply don’t try. they wake up, execute replaceable labor at a 9 to 5, eat, sleep, repeat. they had one shot, one fucking shot at living the most electric life anyone could dream of. with no reason not to pursue it to the maximum. but they simply never tried. that’s Cryptopunks. if you are going to buy a digital artwork with magic internet money, at least fucking try. try to larp as an art coinnoisseur by acquiring a fidenza or a ringer. try to develop severe, irreparable mental illness by accumulating over 100 rare pepes. be 55 years of age and try to larp as a twenty something by getting a bored ape or a pudgy penguin. bro try to act as if you understand basic level math by collecting ai art. at least fucking try. “oh but I really like punks!” really man? you really woke up one day and fell in love with the most popular nft collection at the highest floor price. give me a fucking break. you logged in to the most deranged hyperfinancialized art subculture on the internet and dropped 6 figures on pixelated vomit faces made by a lab. that’s the best you could do. fuck you
