I recently waxed nostalgic with a friend about our college days, playing Goldeneye and soaking N64 controllers in Labatt Blue. Getting smoked by proximity mines and PP7s was a great way to burn daylight and jeopardize your academic standing.

James f-ing Bond. Besides Jesus and Michael Jordan, the most recognizable name on the planet. The paragon of masculinity; the cars, the cigarettes, the pocket aces, the scantily clad seductresses. A web3 degen's wet dream.

Bond canon includes 12 books, 25 films (in the Eon collection, two outside it), two collections of short stories, a reality series, and of course, one of the great video game adaptions of all time. Six actors have played James Bond, Roger Moore leading the way with seven films. I saw Timothy Dalton in an airport once (felt pertinent.)

We find the Bond franchise at an interesting inflection point. Barbara Broccoli sold. Amazon's taken full control, David Heyman and Amy Pascal are shepherding the next film, they've landed Denise Villeneuve of Dune fame to direct, and the search for the next Bond actor is afoot. Henry Cavill, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Mezcal...Cavill probably looks the part most. I always liked the idea of Idris Elba myself.

Everyone has a favorite Bond movie, Bond song, Bond car, Bond girl, Bond weapon.

I'm a Skyfall Bond guy. I wanna know what's behind the eyes, gimme some backstory. Most fans don't care about a spy's psyche; Bond's Oedipus complex, Bourne's social anxiety, Ethan Hunt's eating disorder? All diversions from the main attraction - watching a suave, emotionally distant agent narrowly escape death without mussing up his hair.

ENSers know a little something about escaping death. We've outrun baddies on snowmobiles (the DAO) only to land in a nuclear reactor core (renewals) seconds before annihilation. Anyone we've ever loved has died (forgotten their seed phrase) or left us (for pump.fun) We're hardened but undaunted; the mission always takes primacy.

007.eth 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷 - Our first 5-sax rating! IMHO, the best digit in the entire 999 collection. The ceiling is infinite; I can see a wealthy Bond fan paying 8 figures for it.

JamesBond.eth 🎷🎷🎷🎷- Registered for 26 years. Unreachable domain.

Bond.eth 🎷🎷🎷🎷Also a nice finance name.

Bond007.eth 🎷🎷🎷 Pre-punk. A nice alt.

0x007.eth 🎷🎷🎷 The degenerate man's handle

0xBond.eth 🎷🎷🎷

0xJamesBond.eth 🎷🎷🎷

Agent007.eth🎷🎷🎷 Pre-Punk.

SecretAgent.eth 🎷🎷🎷

Spy.eth 🎷🎷🎷🎷 A grail 3L. Hard to hold, but who wouldn't wanna be THE spy onchain.

DanielCraig.eth 🎷🎷🎷 Pre-Punk. Best modern era Bond. Prob best ever.

SeanConnery.eth 🎷🎷 Classic.

PierceBrosnan.eth 🎷🎷 Underrated.

Blofeld.eth 🎷🎷🎷- Bond's longtime rival.

Skyfall.eth 🎷🎷🎷 His childhood home. Adele's voice is now inextricably linked to this.

Goldeneye 🎷🎷🎷- The video game sold 8 million copies and made MORE than the film! (alt: Goldeneye007.eth)

Moneypenny.eth 🎷🎷 Pre-Punk. Naomie Harris brought a welcome new dimension in Skyfall.

Goldfinger.eth 🎷🎷 Got the avatar and everything!

CasinoRoyale.eth 🎷🎷 Made twice. Both have iconic poker scenes.

NoTimeToDie.eth 🎷🎷 This is a PRIMARY! Legend.

LicensetoKill.eth -🎷🎷Maybe my favorite title.

AstonMartinDB5.eth 🎷🎷- The "No Time to Die" chase sequence in the silver Aston was incredible.

VersperLynd.eth 🎷🎷- Eva Green brought new depth, redefining Bond girl.

Pussygalore.eth 🎷🎷🎷Pre-Punk! I mean, the name alone.

Q .eth - Recently there's been discussion of ENS adding 1-2 character domains (hotly contested) Q would make a stellar handle.

BondJamesBond.eth As recognizable a film line as was ever uttered.

DoctorNo.eth (Alt DrNo.eth is taken) I prefer the longer version!

MadeleineSwann.eth Seydoux was a pitch perfect casting choice.

HoneyRyder.eth - Of the iconic beach scene in Dr No.

Klobb.eth The perfect weapon if you wanna die in the silo in 12.5 seconds.

If you haven't seen it, the doc "The Sound of 007" is a must watch. I didn't include score here, but John Barry's theme is the goat. My favorite theme songs in order:

1. Skyfall - Adele

2. No Time to Die - Billie Eilish

3. License to Kill - Gladys Knight

4. Live and Let Die - Wings

5. Diamonds are Forever - Shirley Bassey

   Honorable Mention: Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon, Writings on the Wall - Sam Smith

   **On the flip side, I think Moby, Madonna and Garbage have a LOT of explaining to do for their work
