Day 38, referred to by historians as D-Day: the day the worst NFT trader alive entered the project, marking the beginning of the slow and painful journey to zero.
Long before the Bitcoin white paper, there were pioneers and cryptographers who stood for something: privacy, freedom, and the power of technology to empower the individual. Remember that.
I have been a rich man and I have been a poor man. And I choose rich every fuckin' time. Because, at least as a rich man, when I have to face my problems, I show up in the back of the limo, wearing a $2000 suit and a $40,000 gold fuckin' watch.
You saw the future before the world could see it.
You believed in code, privacy, and freedom, and you helped give those ideas life.
Your work became part of the foundation upon which we continue to build.
Thank you, Hal.
The first CypherPunk cyborg is born! In 2026 this is still in the realm of science fiction but with medical technology, Neurolink, and AI advancing rapidly, perhaps by 2053-when the final CypherPunk is minted-the fantasy will be reality? I hope to see it!
To the generations ahead:
Privacy is freedom.
Proof is stronger than trust.
Code can defend the individual.
Build without permission.
Encrypt what must remain yours.
Resist surveillance.
Protect the open network.
Freedom is not given.
It is built.
To my children, from 2026: the girls, both two, are learning to talk. The oldest, ten, is running ahead. The middle one, six, is finding his road, and I see him. Your mother is beautiful and carries us all. I love you: then, now and forever. -Dad (Juneau)

Glass keeps what the tide forgets.
Lines start where one key hides.
You carry twenty two pieces of one phrase.
Paint settles before the glass breaks.
Hold it to the light.
The pixel is the flesh of the digital — the smallest place where code consents to be seen.
Code is thought without a body. The pixel is the borrowed body.
Pixels are where code becomes visible: the atom of every world we built. - Pixlosopher
CypherPunk #11 - the happiest punk drawn thus far and a reminder that even when crypto is in a bear market, we all still have reason to smile with projects like this one :)
A message for the last CypherPunk minter in 2053. In 2026 we are grappling with AI, quantum, blockchain, nanotech, space exploration, longevity science. BTC price is US$64,862 and ETH price is US$1,913
I am thrilled to join the first 10 CypherPunks ever minted, congratulations to the team for this clever concept combining digital art with long term blockchain mechanics. Digital art is forever. Long live CypherPunks!
