Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I still proudly wore this ape.
New site tagline just dropped.
ooo thats a really good one lol
This image has incredible sentimental value, as long as I can get money for it.
did... did this man just equate a piece of crypto "art" to a living, breathing woman? and then say he would dump his wife rather than watch her be stabbed, as opposed to, idk, stopping the stabbing?
a'ight kids, where do we keep the torches and pitchforks again?
violence against women
spousal abandonment
this is emotionally fungible with jaypeg loss.
Is no one else gonna comment on how his wife is being stabbed to death more than once? She'd be dead after the first time.
I refuse to believe an actual human being is this deranged. No one cares about a .jpg this much, this must be a bit
scrolling all the way to the bottom of this nonsense only to be hit with a picture of the ape in question is so funny
these things are so ugly what is up with these people
My thoughts exactly, it was almost like running into a wall all of a sudden. Like, how the hell can anyone have positive emotions about this absolutely hideous image?
(I realize it's probably a bit but we all know there's real people out there who are really like this.)
It's like something that would've been used as ironic album art by some early 2000's indie band

That's not what the term "fetishism of commodities" refers to. It refers to the way that the simple presentation of commodities at sale obscures the complex social relations that went into their production.
buddy they won't even let me fuck the commodities
in my head these 4 sentences mean different things
buddy they won't even let me fuck the commodities
buddy they won't even let me fuck the commodities
buddy they won't even let me fuck the commodities
buddy they won't even let me fuck the commodities
Tell me about it, the only action I get is when I masturbate to wikicommodities.com
You’re telling me that switching hats on my monkey jpeg isn’t hard work being obscured by the sale of it??
"I am selling my ape because I am convinced the market is heading in the wrong direction and will keep going that way because of the way it is being run" is not a very good sales pitch. It does not inspire me with confidence that this ape will be worth my purchase.
Trying to explain this to my grandma, let alone a peasant from centuries ago, would probably do her in
It's a good bit, i was convinced.
This is a troll btw.
That's why I didn't put it in the dunk tank
Juche gang stay winning
Also ::: spoiler spoiler Bumbledoor lmao :::
A lot of good apes went down in that hack
"I gotta sell this ape before it's price is zero" this man says, without any introspectuon as to him trying to sell this ape for money while admitting it's worthless. These people are the dumbest humans and should be studied.
12e is $42,000 and 85e is $300,000 btdubs
people are spending what would be for you life changing money on ugly mass produced jpegs
Lol that they're still selling for that much is a travesty.
Two weeks ago myself and 15 other high ranking ape members gathered
The cuck committee assembled
I was not notified, must've been the toilet cuck division, you think they would've let THE Cuck King know.
Ready the bagel slicer!
checks and cleans nails while otherwise bored
Give me slurp juice or give me death
What is blur i refuse to look it up
90s britpop band
Your can still use the ape, gratis. Right click, save👍
Yes John, I know..I sold it to my dear friend @dtrain22k who has provided me with written approval to use Salazar still.
Regardless, it is still a soul crushing hit.
Kinda afraid to ask, but was he fucking serious?
It looks like it's a token that will be given to top users of the trading platform, meaning the people who buy and sell apes the most. Assuming this has "value" (lol) this means you can buy and sell an ape at a loss but make up for it by selling the token later.
I think it’s something that a North Korean IT guy used to steal tens of millions of dollars lol
I never did understand NFTs. What happened to them? I know everyone here clocked them immediately for the obvious scams they are, but of course there were celebrities swearing by them and talk of them was everywhere and unavoidable. Now I don't hear a peep about them. My hope is that this is because every rich fuck or cryptobro who swore by them has been driven into the kind of financial despair they always mocked. Is that true? Are all the mid-to-low level NFT connoisseurs now destitute or at least dispossessed of much of their ill-begotten wealth that they had accumulated before going all in on NFTs? Are NFTs 100% dead now (thank Allah), or is there a chance these dipshits will push hard enough that there will be some kind of a resurgence?
Celebrities were swearing by them because all celebrities hire management/consultants to handle their money. There was a boom in NFTs among rich circles in California. They became both fashionable and a way to quickly scam some money together.
Since celebrity financial managers are all inbred with tech bro California money dorks, celebrities ended up endorsing whatever their management told them to endorse. Most celebrities probably didn't see it any different from doing a toothpaste commercial. They were told to buy NFTs to seem hip and to make money.
I don't think anyone has actually been driven into financial ruin from NFTs. The kind of people buying the things already had a ton of money to throw around for other useless commodities.
All crypto has been slowly dying since the whole FTX scandal.
The "value" of the NFTs was tied to the value of the coins (almost always etherium) on the chain on which they were minted. The hammer came down on FTX which was the primary company propping up the bezzle bringing down the hanger-on scams with it.
Eth is actually not far off from its all time high value im pretty sure. FTX was just one of many hype bros scamming.
So they really are all worthless now?
After all that? If so...
It is a monument to the spectacularly stupid things that money is wasted on by the people who have far too much of it
Is this real
Salazar, you say?
Welp, the name fits.
I can't help but picture this guy as the pantsless frat ghost from US Ghosts and now this is charming help help me
i refuse to believe that this is anything but the highest concept and most dedicated of bits
every note is perfect by itself but also builds on every note before it.
I, as an author, desire to capture a sense of escalating tension while both increasing jargon and maintaining low stakes. Like if Toy Story were a slice of life. I have fallen flat on my face imagining something this person does so effortlessly
ever watch fawlty towers?
