I waited 4 years to interview @matthall2000, co-founder of @LarvaLabs (creators of the Cryptopunks, Autoglyphs and Meebits) and of course it happens during Art Basel after a few tequilas. Loved the energy, what really stood out to me is the relationship between Matt and @NaughtalieStone, which shows you the synergy with Yuga Labs. As someone who entered the industry via NFTs and whose goal was to own a CryptoPunk, this interview was an honour and I'm very grateful for it. Hot take: Yuga is doing a good job with the Punks, but I will let you watch and get a feel for yourself. ---- Timestamps: 0:57 - What has @matthall2000 been up to since the sale to Yuga Labs? 2:20 - How do you see Punks evolving from here? 4:20 - Did you expect any of this to happen? Stories from the CryptoPunks inception. 8:33 - How is the relationship between the CryptoPunks founders and @YugaLabs today? 10:26 - Matt's favourite trait. 11:42 - What about Autoglyphs? Any plans on that side? 13:14 - Do you like seeing all the CryptoPunks collaborations? (Book, pendant, watch, etc.) 15:36 - What Matt wants Yuga to do next with CryptoPunks 18:18 - Do you consider yourself an artist?
