VIP Service Update 7/23/2026 - Another Punk?!

image.png
This funny looking punk with Ski Goggles on reminds me of those GoDaddy commercials for Walton Goggins Goggle Glasses (GogginsGoggles.com). I decided to pick him up for the low price of only 20 HIVE, or about $0.95. That is a great deal to pick up discounted "floor" punks while the market remains suppressed.

I still firmly believe that someday in the future there will be another NFT revival and legacy projects like Hive Punks stand the best chance at a second life. When they first came out they were all the rage among Hive users, but with market prices being much higher this platform was much more attractive.

After being involved with Steem and Hive since 2017 I would say this type of crypto platform goes through large ebbs and flows for user growth and retention. The 2018-2020 market lull saw a huge drop off for activity on Steem but this quickly changed after the 2020 Hive fork and explosion of the Splinterlands blockchain game.

As price rises you will see more engagement and user growth as the reward system drives the outcome of more content. Low rewards = low content creation and vice versa. Ironically this is the best time to be on the platform to accumulate cheap tokens while the price is down - then take advantage of future price growth as your stash builds.

Curation rewards have been relatively steady, averaging around 5 HP per day plus the natural inflation from staked Hive. Combined with content rewards this is adding around 10 HP per day currently. I haven't powered up any new purchases since last month because I wanted to accumulate more cash in this uncertain market. There will be plenty of time to dollar cost average into crypto while we chop around for however many more months or years. Hive is all about getting rich slowly.

VIP is also backing the PUNKZ project by providing market liquidity and holding the underlying Hive Punk assets backing the PUNKZ tokens. PUNKZ is a "fractional NFT token" proxy which mimics the market prices for Hive Punks NFTs.

Here are the current @vipservice account stats:

- Effective Power- 32,471.082 HP
- Vote Amount (100%)- $ 0.071
- Estimated Account Value- $ 1,549.13 USD

Building a grassroots community of like-minded individuals who are interested in sharing knowledge and expanding their own.
The VIP token is a small but integral part of the project right now. It powers the community support account and voting program. Over time I am growing the Hive Power through delegations, token sales, posting and curating. This is a slow and steady process and it will take patience plus dedication. VIP Tokens Available Here

Thats awesome! I'm surprised to see a few people still repping the Hive Punk avatars for their PFP.

Time to keep buying the floor punks while they are cheap muahaha!

Hi there! I realized I could find the users with 5 or more punks with the "B/Hive Punks Connoisseur" badge (BADGE HERE) and Ive been secretly accumulating Hive Punks for a few years after the market bottomed.

@vipservice is currently holding 69 Hive Punks and I plan to keep buying until we get some sort of increased market activity.

Maybe we can help spark a revival of sorts by posting more about punks and getting more users interested?

Yeah this is true, I got badge for holding at least 5 punks.

I need to check my nft collection one more time with punks and see what I have, maybe I notice something interesting after years 😀

I just minted them for 20 hive each?
I don't rememer, it was long time ago.

I made some post about my collection years ago, but is good to show them in post after years of course!

Many new hive folks don't know about this project - hive punks!
