NiftyNoon: What Happened at Beeple’s CryptoPunk Celebration?

Beeple hosts a wildly successful event celebrating CryptoPunks at BEEPLE STUDIOS (October 2, 2023)

Nifty Thought

• Beeple hosted his wildly successful CryptoPunk event at his studio this weekend. This was truly a celebration of Beeple’s work, the CryptoPunks community, and the digital collectible space as a whole. While there was not a traditional airdrop for attendees, Beeple continued his now iconic “physical airdrop” where paper punks fell from the ceiling of the studio. The event also featured interviews with many notable CryotoPunk community members including large early punk claimers and even the founders of Larva Labs, the team behind CryptoPunks. Yuga Labs also hosted an event for CryptoPunks holders in the typical brunch style the community has become so fond of. 

• While this event was hardly industry changing, it does demonstrate the lighter side of the digital collectible space. The community came together to celebrate a common appreciation. There was little fixation on financial upside or speculation. One could argue this makes CryptoPunks the only successful profile picture NFT in the market; people genuinely wish to own them for the sake of owning them, rather than to hopefully sell for a higher price later on.
