I can't lie, I'm influenced by pfps. I tend to see all people sporting the same collection as part of a collective borg.

I have such strong positive bias for EVMavericks I'll be a lamb to the slaughter the first time a scammer wears one.

(in fact I extended good will way beyond what I would have normally to the icobeast.eth guy on Twitter who's pretty mercenary)

Hmm, I think mostly neutral!

I have slight negative bias against any sort of vulgarity, no matter how mild, so I can't escape the name "mfers" triggering me ever so slightly. 😅 

And slight positive bias in my interactions with mfers in general (no bad experience).

what about mfers? how did you feel when you saw this reply?

Other communities are "safer" because the average is worse. 🫠 The default aura is negative. 

Pudgy Penguins = he's going to say something dumb
Cryptopunk = rich guy out of touch
Milady = either cool or pretentious edgy or both
BAYC = are these even relevant?

Christian, launched EVMavericks, trying to become less ignorant every day.

EVMavericks #123. Professional $L taker. I’m not for everyone.

Agreed! It goes to show initial distribution matters immensely. Years later the wearers of that pfp carry the aura of the og community well.

EVMavs are one of the best kept secrets in the space. 

Distribution origin better than crypto punks imo because it required being in the top 1,324 of posters on a niche and focused ethereum subreddit (relative to r/ethereum) with no advanced warning. 

@etheraider just showed up one day and changed everything.

The best part is they didn’t even do anything. Just existed. 

Literally had to ask what the deal is. 🤣

It’s true. 

They turned me into a fan. Diverse as all get out too.
