Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?

    The enjoyment of going to parties typically relies on the attendees of the party and how much you like or dislike them. This specific party is full of people who bought monkey JPEGs and turned them into their entire personality. So, presumably, I would not like this party.

        It’s not for anyone with a shred of sense. Lighting aside, anyone still being conned by the NFT image market is unfortunately probably willfully ignorant, impossibly stubborn, and unable to learn from their mistakes or the mistakes of others. There are plenty of working ways to tokenize images for an actual purpose, blockchain verification is worthless for individual images and literally always was.

          maybe they’re just having fun. People purchase status items all the time and no one has a problem with it. There is nothing fundamentally different between showing off your 100k monkey picture with showing off your 100k watch.

          The year is 2043, and Chumlee has been uploaded to the Metaverse.

          “I remember those,” Chumlee said, his voice echoing through the virtual space. “Let me run this by my valuation expert, the all-knowing singularity.”

          A moment later, Chumlee’s eyes widened in surprise. “Fourteen trillion?” he repeated.

          “That’s what it says,” the singularity replied.

          Chumlee shook his head. “I can’t believe it. I’ll give you two.”
