The Italian collector. CEO of @authentica_id & JPG Sniper! CryptoPunk #4725 & BAYC #7351 $DOG

Italy
I can’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 “immortalize yourself in” was nearly impossible… let alone pairing it with its V1 Punk. Over time, I realized I wanted a Big Beard Punk. That wasn’t easy. I hesitated many times… until my 40th birthday, when I finally pulled the trigger. My first Big Beard Punk was great, but it had the “stringy hair” 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 then… I looked for its V1 pairing. Turns out it was in the hands of @tonyherrera, a gentleman I’d met at a Web3 event. I told him I wanted to complete my Punk’s provenance, and guess what? He proposed a swap with another V1 Big Beard I owned. And just like that… I completed the full provenance of my Punks. My Big Beard Punk and its V1 brother, finally reunited.

Which one will buy a Punk first? - ethereum:0xa0df17b5ac76ababa36e1450e2cbcd18a620c845 from PunkStrategy or - ethereum:0xc50673edb3a7b94e8cad8a7d4e0cd68864e33edf from the floor 🤔

Our Web3 heroes!
At 9AM EST today somebody abused a bug in Payment Processor V2 to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 WoW, and 235 Desperate Apewives. It wasn't until over 12 hours later that somebody reported it to me, and upon digging in I realized that a great many NFTs were subject to the same exploit. I got in touch with the team over at LimitBreak and they quickly paused Payment Processor V3, which was subject to the same exploit. Unfortunately, V2 was not pausable, so the only path towards protecting affected assets was to run a whitehat operation. Similarly, V3 on ApeChain is temporarily in a state where it cannot be paused, so ApeChain assets approved to V3 needed to be saved as well. All in all, we rescued 23,155 NFTs worth north of $5.7M USD. We later discovered that a similar exploit could be used in reverse to steal WETH. 660 WETH was at risk, which we unfortunately were not fast enough to recover. Apologies to those affected. Shout out to @Boomskite for flagging the initial exploit tx to me, and @coffeedev @0xjustadev and @whiteoakkong for acting quickly and assisting with the recovery. All NFTs are safely relocated. Soon, owners will be able claim them back after revoking the exploitable approvals. Addresses to revoke below.

Meanwhile, between ethereum:0xa0df17b5ac76ababa36e1450e2cbcd18a620c845 V1 and V2… 🔥 2% of the total supply has already been burned. And the flywheel keeps turning. The more it runs, the more supply disappears. 👀 ethereum:0xa0df17b5ac76ababa36e1450e2cbcd18a620c845

We think it's time to make some changes to the TokenStrategy platform, tying in FWA even further. Starting tomorrow, anyone will be able to deploy the Strategy for a collection if it doesn't already have one. Here's how it will work:

Such a great story! Which will probably repeat again today, as the punk backing is about to lower to 1 ETH $FWA
I won a CryptoPunk for $225 and I still can't believe it. I'd been following FWA since v1 back in July. When v2 rolled out, I watched the ETH backing the first Punk dropping daily. By Saturday it was down to 1 ETH. The odds were getting very favorable, and the math said somebody was going to hit it soon. So I'm sitting on the couch thinking, why not. I spun 13 times, mostly reclaiming ETH or stacking $FWA. Down to the last 0.1 ETH that I put in the wallet for the day, I spun once more for 0.0855 ETH. CryptoPunk #3498 pops out. Dark mohawk, horned rim glasses. One of about 8 with that exact combo out of all 10,000. (And apparently this was a 1 in 10k chance at the time!) Pure dumb luck. But luck shined on me that day, and I'm grateful. Thank you @Rhynotic and @token_works. Legends! My shiny new Punk going in the vault. I'm not selling. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but Punks are going to rip. Long-term believer.

V1 CryptoPunks are heating up! 🔥 17 sales and counting in the past 24 hours. New collectors are coming for a piece of NFT history. V2 holders are hunting down their V1 twins to complete the pair. The OGs are back. The market is waking up.

Fidenza just had 4 sales in one day. Floor went from 17.5 ETH → 24.5 ETH. That’s a 40%+ move in a single day. And you still think NFTs are dead? 👀

Gm gm ☀️ Let me get this straight… - CryptoPunks did ~$2.65M in sales in the last 24 hours. - Jack Butcher’s new $8 experiment via X Money sold 16,031 NFTs in 24 hours. And you’re still not bullish on NFTs? Maybe you’re just not paying attention. 👀
