First ever NFT OTC desk | Highest volume NFT trader | Helping funds and collectors scale into CryptoPunks positions or OGs scale out of theirs | DMs open
NFT negotiations would be far more enjoyable if superlatives could only be used honestly.
"What's the best you can do bro"
"85"
"82 is the highest I can get"
"84 is my absolute lowest"
"82.5 and not a penny more"
"I can't beat 83.5"
"83 is my max"
"Deal"
-> Every line was a lie
Impromptu auction/ giveaway!
A random person who likes and retweets this will be given 1 eth!
We are auctioning punk 4506. One of only 44 beanies, the rarest punk attribute.
Place a bid on-chain and once 30 minutes have passed with no new bid, we will accept the current bid
After dozens of inquires about the trippy crown, I’ve listed him for 599. One of the most badass apes out there. My DMs are open to discuss offers, and will consider bluechip combo trades as well, but I think he is very fairly priced
If you are rocking a PFP under $150k plz don't @ me or share your opinion on my wall. I don't care what you have to say. Reality is you need to Work harder, move out of your moms basement, stack eth/sol, buy a few real PFP then share your opinion.
As 2023 draws to a close, now seems like a fun time to say how our portfolio performed in 2022.
If we denominated in ETH, we profited 4511 ETH. If we denominated in punks, we profited 73 punks. And if we denominated in USD we lost $1,100,000
punksOTC has purchased an additional 35 punks for ~1994 ETH ($3,500,000) at an average price of 56.97 ETH per punk. As of 3/26/2023, we hold 77 CryptoPunks.
At my volumes I'd have paid $19,000,000 in OS fees if I were trading artblocks instead of punks ($900,000 yesterday alone).
As nice as the $SOS airdrop seems, the real gift is
@matthall2000
and
@pents90
offering a 0 fee market on the best, and most liquid NFT project around.
New PFP!
Quite excited to acquire not only a 6 attribute punk, but her choker makes her the rarest of all 6atts and the 19th rarest overall punk! Thanks to the legend
@seedphrase
for letting me snag this grail!
...and then the bagholder replied "free" in discord when a low offering threatened the value of his bags, just as his father had done and his father before him
It's a bit disheartening seeing how much hate there is for
@franklinisbored
lately. I'm sure if and when the BAYC bull market returns he'll be applauded for all he does for the ecosystem but my whole timeline is senseless and generally contradictory attacks

Are you a professional NFT trader looking to expand volume and lower fees? DM me
I have what I believe to be a good idea to push this industry forward but want a few dozen people who either trade some premium NFTs or many mid-tier NFTs to begin. Plan to launch next couple weeks
Fun fact: despite viewing punks as only good for a 4+ year time horizon, punks are up 20% since his buy while each asset his fund owns is down.
Moreover, he managed to lose even more by buying for 50% over floor and selling under the floor.
Enjoy the AI space ser 🫡
3/ It's all about time horizon.
121G is a 4-year fund and we're aiming to invest in newer projects that can 3-10x in that time.
Punks don't fit that investment thesis.
Owning 40+ punks, I often end up with a bag of a particular attribute, whether random or a mistake in my model. First it was Smile, Crazy Hair, VR but by far the most interesting is my current gang of Messy Hair + Handlebars
Of all 1200 punks we've owned, today we're auctioning off the one with the strongest provenance!
We're selling
@obj
's former punk which he owned and sported for his Superbowl win.
The same as yesterday but once bidding is steady we'll have only a 10 minute timer for punk 3365
though I have commented on this space many times through the everydays, I have never actually purchased a single pfp until now…
in the market for a punk, any pro tips??? 👀
My wallet got hacked and I lost 85 ETH... But life goes on and I challenged myself to earn that same money back within 3 seconds! This is gonna be a short thread

This is gonna be a big thread including all my wins and losses 🧵
My model says he left 731 eth on the table.
If anyone else is looking to ragequit punks in an attempt to pump your own competitor, feel free to reach out!
Considering that
@cryptopunksnfts
have been 2 years (to the day) of down only I'd consider sentiment to be impressively positive!
I think a lot of people are going to miss the bottom on this one
Punks up 15% after 9 months of stagnation. All other collections down. Punks doing as much volume as all other collections combined. And it hasn't even been 2 weeks!
One of the first people to see what I'm envisioning. It took me a few weeks for this to click, but the last day I've been trying to convince people of what the future of punk trading will look like.
I think in two or 3 weeks it will seem obvious in hindsight

I denominate my portfolio in punks and am at peak portfolio value. Denominated in ETH or USD I'm down hundreds of ETH or millions of dollars, but all my trading decisions are around accumulating as big of a punk bag as possible
Quite an incredible punk collection is being built in 2024! New bidder came in just a week ago and has already built one of the more attractive collections- scooping multiple of each premium male attribute
As I recall we already donated 33 eth to you and then you went radio silent when you had the opportunity to do a small favour for the generous people who helped you out!
This may not be the first time someone has lost more money on an NFT trade than the entire market cap of the project, but it was certainly the fastest. Gitcoin Presents belongs in the history books
There's no right or wrong answer when the resolution of screen, brightness, eyesight etc all can influence which combinations look the most similar to the viewer. But the answer we had in mind was 8320 and 8467
Yallll send me some of y’all fav highlights or moments from my career, as if I’m not already motivated and inspired .. I’m trynaaa seeeee something 😭😭😭😭😭😭
There's been chatter about the recent rumor pump, and I wanted to clarify a few things about PunksOTC's involvement
First off: we did indeed buy all the punks. We love the rumors and what they're doing, we believe these rumors and the rumors they're building are really important
I believe the NFT equivalent of defi summer is here. Not in the sense that assets appreciate, but that businesses will land grab by giving equity (and in turn a large APY) to holders of NFTs.
I haven't shilled anything (beside punks obviously) but the fight for liquidity is here
They bought this punk (on eth) with 530,000 $GETH on Goerli. This was one of the biggest transactions on that network and actually tanked the price of $GETH 20% due to the magnitude of it
In less than 5 days we have gone from
@ethergc
and I completing the first ever trade on blur to being the
#2
volume collection.
Today punks have done more trading volume than BAYC, MAYC, and BAKC combined. But in my opinion its still just getting started

My view is the punk community is best served embracing innovative projects rather than fighting it.
Our community is arguably the most respected and well-capitalized in the NFT space, so marketplaces should want to incentivize our usage if we bring them liquidity and attention
Who's in charge of maintaining the punks marketplace now? Gas estimation has been broken for several days and over 50% of transactions are getting stuck, happy to help fix it
@larvalabs
@cryptopunksnfts
@yugalabs
The next few weeks scammers will likely be a few steps ahead of collectors.
If you're the type of person who gets scammed easily try to hold off on being the guinea pig as there will surely be a few types of scams that aren't known now but will be in a month
A couple more overnight punks sales on

are now a top 50 collection (and the only one with 0 fees).
Currently 62.65 bid, 63.2 ask. The punk floor is now on blur.
How many days until they're the

volume collection?
I've known from the very beginning of my NFT journey that one day I'd own a Punk.
I messaged the owner of

over a year ago. It's the single Punk in the 10,000 collection that looks most like me IRL.
But he was the original minter and wasn't willing to sell. So I
Hopefully people are finally realizing that in utility-driven projects you are the utility lol. Your airdrops are only valuable if you as a community buy more airdrops. You're a customer no matter how much you try to convince yourself you are a shareholder
We’re working on something new.
We originally wanted to launch April 1, but it’s going to take longer to build it right.
As consolation, bidding and listing points for Season 2 will remain doubled until May 1.
🚨STAY TUNED🚨
Does anyone hate punks more than yuga? Refund 50 apes because people used a website they didn't endorse. Refuse to refund 2 punks because people used a website they endorsed
For those involved in the NFT Trader exploit, return the NFTs and Yuga will provide compensation for identifying the exploit upon safe return of the NFTs.
