The Cryptophunks Anthem was a work I felt inspired to create to align myself with the values of web3 and decentralization. I am learning everyday about how to become a better version of myself with all the optimism this space offers.
I also know that at the heart of this movement open access, inclusivity, and monetization intersect in very unique and powerful ways. How it applies to music releases/roll outs...I am not entirely certain yet. In the past centralized companies benefited from licensing structures of this sort. In this golden age of opportunity who do you align yourself with? I walked out of every record label meeting stumped about this question. At a certain point I began to feel like I needed them but I know what I stand firmly against. The argument that Cryptophunks are plagiarizing Punks misses the larger more valuable narrative playing out here. The ideology behind phunks is one that will shape the future.
