The Bored Ape NFT craze is all about ego and money, not art

Sounds like another celebrity pump scam.

Eminem buys the NFT for $450k, Bored Ape signs a contract for $450k for marketing "services" from Eminem, and they'd have a special publicity agreement with the NFT platform to recoup any platform fees.

For the cost of an eth transaction, they've created a "$450k" NFT.

Find the next celebrity and repeat.

Modern art is almost exclusively about ego and money so if anything this might be the biggest validation of nfts as "real art"

At least people pretend to enjoy modern art. Bored Apes art looks like lazy garbage.

Gucci is all about ego and money, not fashion. Yeezys are all about ego and money, not shoes. Maserati is about ego and money, not automobiles.

Veblen goods aren’t new.

It’s about money laundering.

Even Nathan Barley would have sneered at Bored Ape Yacht Club.
