The rise and rise of the Bored Ape Yacht Club

So, Friday, April 30, 2021 Hey dude, any thoughts on Bored Apes, the art looks cool. This was late April. My mind was very much not on NFTs, the overall market was just weeks away from what would turn out to be the top. I ignored it. And how I regret that now. Because BAYC has emerged to become one of the breakout hits of this crazy bull run, inspiring comic books, coffee beans, credit cards, endless copycats and forcing copyright into the spotlight. In this episode we’ll look at the reasons why BAYC might just have been the right project at the right time, talk to those involved and try and understand where this is all going. This is the Defiant.

that video was soooo well done, I appreciate the heck out of it

[@TheNFTPodcast]

Well said!

[@miliomb]

Theres a dude in your living room just chillin there...

[@alienwarrior9408]

does Defiant owe this guy some BTC or something?!

[@FukU2222]

Still trying to figure out the reasoning, am over half an hr in.... lol I know he has appeared on channel before and is prob a writer//helps w/ production at least (or something along those lines), other than that, unsure.... heh

[@NuanceOverDogma]

It shows that he made this video without edits

[@TheNFTPodcast]

Ahahaha that makes me cry

[@mayo5173]

This NEEEDS a part 2 so many crazy things have happened sense this video 🙌🏽

[@Makavelian97]

Mate, your content makes this channel worthy of 1 million subs or more, no joke. Subbed.

[@holonmundi5320]

I love your style with the shades, just chilling with a beer. Who's that other guy that keeps talking?

[@behuzer]

no clue, but he better knock it off soon.

[@holonmundi5320]

@@behuzer love the show as it is, cheers!

[@TheNFTPodcast]

Cinematic effect is sick!!

[@anticlux]

Just coming back here to show my immense gratitude for getting me to buy an ape almost 3 months ago. It's been an intense journey ever since. Thank you!

[@tehshape]

Check out our club in the swamp ;)

[@DaveDavidDavidson]

All you did was buy a png

[@tehshape]

@@DaveDavidDavidson that's why you miss out oh feeble mind. Do some research before attacking something you don't understand...if they were "just" image files...Miramax wouldn't be suing Quinton Taraninto over his NFT release. It's called Immutable Ownership.

[@davidanful]

I just love your videos. Simply awesome

[@TheNFTPodcast]

Completely agree.

[@iphgfqweio]

I lol'd so hard at the bored dude getting help from a beer

[@TheNFTPodcast]

Ahahaha everytime I watch it I got mad

[@cashobuyer]

It really helps anyone who is trying to actually do something real on the NFT platform. Instead of the 99% of crap that's flooded into the market. If anyone wants to become a creator properly, they need to watch and note everything in this video! Well done

[@0x_shake]

100x better production value than any other crypto channel. Really almost any other channel 😅

[@SwoleakhulTheBlind]

The absolute pain having watched this video when it launched and not buying an ape. Or a couple 😩

[@dadaci]

It hurts so much

[@lol_vevo]

Love my ape, the day I joined the BAYC I made the rules clear: I have no problems selling my ape, but I would immediately replace him with other. I'm never leaving the BAYC.

[@boingyboinigy]

Good history lesson to share with everyone not involved at the time

[@TheNFTPodcast]

Hope I knew it the day they dropped!

[@RagingHamster]

There’s a man… in back of this place. He’s the one who’s doing it. I can see him through the wall. I can see his face. I hope that I never see that face, ever, outside of a dream.

[@coinage_x_daic]

Thanks for outlining that people are just lying to themselves. „We are for the people“, but then they just want to make money with it. Ridiculous. Anyway, love the ape design, referring to this in general

[@oscara3562]

This vid is pure quality

[@SensieRodriguez]

Wow !! Thanks for posting this !!! 😀

Nah. I’m taking Mario over the apes any day of the week.

Thank you so much for your guidance. How does one figure out the layer/properties trait percentages of the layers?
