🧵3/24 - What is Ethereum, really? It’s not just a ledger. It’s a single virtual computer. A public, persistent machine where you can run programs, indefinitely. If Bitcoin is money, Ethereum is a programmable civilization.

🧵5/24 - What Makes CryptoPunks Great? It’s not just the images. It’s the program, unstoppable trading logic that lives onchain. “Punks are Warholian not because they look like Warhol, but because the trading logic is the art.”
