I received this punk for the efforts on CryptoPunks during my tenure at Yuga. A moment of deep gratitude for this amazing project and community to which I’ve been devoted for last year - and to which I now belong.
every team here pours their heart EVERYDAY into their project and community, they live and breathe this work, and I am just super proud of my Ape degen cousins on what they have done so far and what they have planned. keep being weird AF.

there is probably no greater generic superpower than loving to read.
reading over the course of a lifetime brings incredible compounding gains.
