If you think the Meebits exploit is nuts...
A CryptoPunk Civil War is brewing because of a very old exploit.
I've dramatized the brouhaha in a rock opera w The Christie's Punks.

Way back in the beginning, in the summer of '17, there was a bug in the Punks' smart contract that made it so when someone bought a punk, the buyer got both the PUNK AND THE MONEY, leaving the seller with nothing.
Dude called Hemba stole A TON of punks this way.

Larva Labs were alerted to the exploit & launched a fixed contract that reverted everyone's punks to where they were before.
It was the PunkHardFork, and everyone accepted the fork as the TruePunks.
But of course: Immutability. V1 punks still exist, in a way.

Now, Hemba, who sold all his many v2 punks at low (all under 1Ξ) prices, has been concocting a wrapper + marketplace in an attempt to offload the bevy of V1 punks he stole.
To be absolutely clear: I think this is wrong.

That being said, my song is from the perspective of the v1 punks.
From a story-standpoint, I've always loved imagining these poor lost punks, drifting in the ether (much like the mooncats lost on the moon).
I do think they deserve a place of honor in the museum of PunkLore but

because of the way they were fenced back in the day, it's not right for Hemba to try to flip them now. That's just shady.
My favorite part of punks has always been the stories that come out of the community.
Stories, more than anything else, is what makes punks, punks.

And the truth is that the question "What exactly ARE V1 Punks?" is actually quite philosophically complicated, and how you answer that question has profound implications for NFTs in general. It touches on things like
Code Is Law
Authorial Intent
Immutability
