CryptoPunk 7610 is one of 3840Female punks. A collection of nine rare CryptoPunks that were among the first 1,000 minted fetched almost $17 million in an auction at Christie's in May this year.

CryptoPunks are an assortment of 24x24 pixelated avatars, each considered to be rare NFT collectibles with own unique features and accessories. There are a total of 10,000 in existence and no two are exactly alike.

The cryptocurrency market is starting the week off strong as Bitcoin tops $50,000, hitting a more than 3-month high.

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square, is inspired by bitcoin as ‘It reminds me of the early internet’ and is mining bitcoin with @compass_mining.

Square, his digital payments company, put “skin in the game” with $170 million more in bitcoin buy earlier this year.

#Bitcoin is like a vast public corridor of clear lockboxes with coin slots. Sats can be put in boxes regardless of who holds the keys and where they reside (online, offline, lost, stolen). Anyone can make or examine boxes, but there will only ever be 21M Bitcoin worth of sats.
