^  I guess so...  And there's a kind of prestige by being a Punk holder.  Not really sure why many people hate the pixel art of Punks as I think it's one of the best looking ones out there imho, if not the best.  A lot of other NFT projects made a conscious decision to be a Punk derivative because it's valuable for them to do so.  At least at the start when it starts trading.

As for NFTs making a comeback...  Dunno about that but I do hold some for airdrop farming purposes.    Hope it pays off as some of them aren't exactly cheap.
