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

I'm guessing they didn't hire an event lighting company and did it themselves. No one I know in the industry would do that.

The invisible hand of the free market blinded me.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

This is why I don't go out anymore.

[-] bentropy@feddit.de 51 points 10 months ago

Wtf is a boerd ape NFT event? I know the bored ape images and I know what an event is... But wtf? Are people supposed to go somewhere to look at those ugly images? People should know they can enjoy this meaningless garbage online. For free.

One of the perks of owning these NFTs was that you could attend exclusive events. What those events were going to be about was anyone's guess. Eye burn, apparently.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

It's kind of like when you have Reddit gold and get access to the super exclusive private r/lounge subreddit... That has no actual purpose and nobody bothers posting in it because what are you even supposed to do there?

Free fedoras, since they on the floor wriggling in pain xD

People blowing leftover VC money on propping up their failing industry.

[-] bentropy@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

Oh thanks I get it know. Buying NFTs is like buying tickets to a concert. What if the events isn't anywhere near me? Still a very stupid concept.

[-] umbraroze@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Basically, it's the same thing as buying a "permanent" ticket to a local sports team's home matches. What? Your local team doesn't sell "permanent" tickets? Exactly.

[-] bentropy@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

Well, they do: https://www.bvb.de/Tickets/Stadionplan/Dauerkarten

Not quiet sure what you mean but please, don't respond. That was already way more thought about something NFT related as I'd wish to have.

I was thinking Concerned Ape, the dev of Stardew Valley…and I was concerned

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Ditto, after that talk about the TV show. I was like man, how far has he fallen.

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I think if he sold NFT’s I would just about lose all faith in mankind. Now when the hell is haunted chocolatier coming…

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 10 months ago

Selling NFTs is some JojaMart shit. Concerned Ape would never.

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

does he even host any events?

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

No, but I barely recall what bored ape is or how it is culturally relevant…which is why I thought of it

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

how it is culturally relevant

That's the neat part: it isn't.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com -3 points 10 months ago

how it is culturally relevant

It’s a fine example of modern idiocy.

[-] joel_nio@talk.macstack.net 3 points 10 months ago

if you give relevancy to idiocy, it's not my problem

[-] bh64@lemm.ee 43 points 10 months ago

It was a stupid decision to attend a party created by the creators of a stupidly overpriced asset.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

"asset" lol

[-] sugartits@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

asset

You mispelled "obvious scam"

To be fair, the keys are right next to each other.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 30 points 10 months ago

It’s unfortunate that people were injured but fuck, I’m still scarred just by seeing these awful things. At least if they were going to do a scam art investment scheme they could have made the art not hideous.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 18 points 10 months ago

So the financial harm wasn't obvious enough for the Bored Apes? The creators wanted to be sure everyone knew it was made to hurt them directly but burning their retinas.

[-] umbraroze@kbin.social 16 points 10 months ago

You wanted deregulation, and ya got It, biiiachezzz

[-] Hairyblue@kbin.social 16 points 10 months ago

Bored Ape NFT owners say: "Ow! My money! Ow! My eyes!"

[-] AltheaHunter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago
[-] Suspicious@lemmy.wtf 5 points 10 months ago

Wait I though bored apes """""creator""""""/ main bag holder split with the money and tanked the whole market for apes

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 13 points 10 months ago

This is probably the bag holders trying desperately to keep the apes relevant in hopes they can pump up the price again and offload.

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

I thought this was about concerned ape for a second after he was talking about some random TV show. I was like, man, how fall have we fallen.

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

For a moment I thought the title refers to the attendees as bored apes.
