Although it might not be as easy on the eye as the recent discovery of #CryptoCats, I started digging after I hit #MoonCatRescue. Cryptopunks is also inspired, and it really predates CryptoCats.

They are the first digital archaeological excavations. The context is nothing but a pitiful thing, in my opinion.
“in my opinion, What we saw yesterday was the digital equivalent of discovering historical artifactsSaid Elmo, MoonCat collector. “While it may seem far fetched now, I think history will remember these seemingly primitive pieces of art as The first steps to driving the growth of the digital arts“.

The question now is what other long-lost contracts are gathering cobwebs on Ethereum.
