    “I'm paying my rent by trading JPEG pictures on the Internet,” one N.F.T. buyer said. “That's what I tell my parents.” https://nyer.cm/oyZLGrm

    Bored Ape Yacht Club's initial batch of N.F.T.s brought in more than two million dollars. The collection has since seen almost a hundred million dollars in trading, with the cheapest apes often going for almost fourteen thousand dollars. https://www.newyorker.com/...

    ‘In the 3 months since launch, Bored Ape owners have put the cartoon primates on lines of craft beer, created animated YouTube series, designed skateboards, wrote novels & launched a publication called the Bored Ape Gazette to cover the community’ https://www.newyorker.com/...

    Bored Ape Yacht Club is a combo gated online community, stock-shareholding group, art collection, streetwear brand, hedge fund, and a user-generated universe of intellectual property. Ty @chaykak for this explainer on ape avatars cropping up everywhere! https://www.newyorker.com/…
