A lot of people have been chirping me about my 666 eth ape purchase saying that I am a fool and that apes will never come back Let's get something straight for all you haters: This is a GRAIL and I doubt a single person here will deny that. The diamond glisten matched only in elegance by the gold fur. The beanie starkly contradicts the formality of the ape, allowing warmth and relatability for all viewers As collectors we know when something is timeless. I truly believe this is up there with some of the greats (think Mona Lisa, Starry night, girl with a pearl earring) and in 100-200 years time this will be looked at as one of the most invaluable pieces of onchain history. In that sense, I do not CARE if apes as a whole do not return to glory (but they will). My partner and I made a conscious decision to invest in our families future and collect a piece like this out of passion and love and refinanced part of our house to buy this. Not on the chance we can resell it for higher, because I doubt we ever will, but as an emotional investment. Not every investment needs a financial motive, and something like this ape can actually offer a far greater positive emotional return than other assets. Regardless, if you think that apes aren't coming back, I have news for you. The world is only getting crazier and more and more money is being printed everyday. Millionaires are being minted in crypto overnight and those people are longing for a status symbol that they can feel connected to. Like prior cycles, this will come in nfts and in particular I believe bored apes will be one of the main beneficiaries of this new cash flow. They are undeniably clean, already have a mysterious aura about them that attracts people and the community is next level. So next time you're trying to downplay another person's investment consider that you're not an all knowing god and maybe, just maybe, you don't know everything.
