I will also add, that I am quite a prolific buyer of the Punk NFTs :

Along with others outside the HIVE ecosystem, I have never bought them with the expectation of a return on investment. I have always purchased them either as trophies, or as consumables. Some photos for instance, I have bought on Opensea from creators I like are essentially a "tip" to the creator as a show of appreciation for their content. Nothing more.
