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

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.

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?

Laugh about the non guilded peasants. Or at least that is what I saw on the few times I was guilded.

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

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.

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.

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.
