Genuinely curious how people respond here to these two questions:

1) what do you think is the most iconic crypto-native character, artwork, and/or pfp?

2) was there a storytelling project, toy, and/or game that actually broke out into the mainstream?

I tend to think this way. Feel like the punks are still pretty inside baseball but are taken seriously by crypto community

Yep on penguins. I think maybe Huxley is in the storytelling / comic camp that’s respected by all types too

I’m now more thinking along the lines of staying power and positive legacy, so many of these are now remembered as embarrassments (or were instantly cringe but people made a shit ton of money so they didn’t care)

I should’ve known better and said anyone who mentions BAYC gets permabanned 😅

1) From more of a trad art lens maybe the Murikami, Beeple, or Anadol pieces

2) I think Pudgy Penguins made some headway here.. I feel like Azuki showed a ton of promise in the beginning and then dropped the ball with beans I think ?

The answer to both is probably (unfortunately) bored apes.

1) it would be hard to name a project that is more instantly recognizable 

2) its more infamous than famous but “1 million dollars for a monkey jpeg” is as mainstream as anything else I can think of. They had some stories and games to qualify for your second question.
