I just sold my Bored Ape (#3707) today for $37,000. I bought it for $425,000. That’s almost a $400,000 hole in my chest, and honestly, it feels deserved. Here’s the story: Three years ago, I told myself I wasn’t just “buying a jpeg.” I was buying culture. I was buying access. I was buying a ticket to the “future of the internet.” Today, that “future” looks like me sitting in a Buffalo Wild Wings in Paramus, NJ, with three grown men in faded BAYC hoodies, watching a muted TV play highlights from a lacrosse game none of us cared about. One guy kept showing me his “newest pickup”—a Polygon frog with laser eyes that he swears is “the next BAYC.” He bought 7,000 of them. They’re worth $19. Another guy explained in detail why his girlfriend doesn’t “get NFTs” but actually sleeps in a different apartment.
