Few days ago, a rare Bored Ape (#7940) sold for 666 $ETH (~$2.35M).



Gold fur, orange beanie, diamond earring.
Ranked #31 out of 10,000, undeniably rare.

The buyer? A brand new wallet with only 3 NFTs. So far, they’ve quietly spent 966 $ETH ($3.4M) on:

Otherdeed Expanded → 100 $ETH
Otherside Land → 200 $ETH
This Bored Ape → 666 $ETH

Clearly a serious collector.

But here’s the thing:

Bored Apes aren’t coming back.

Even if NFTs are showing signs of life again, and they are (July saw $574M in volume, second-highest this year), the meta has changed.

It’s no longer about buying whatever pumped last cycle.

It’s about:
✅ Strong teams
✅ Clear vision
✅ Communities that actually care

Pudgy Penguins, Lil Pudgys, Moonbirds, CryptoPunks — these are the ones leading right now.

Meanwhile, Bored Apes are still coasting on old hype.
They had their moment… and blew it.

If you’re still betting on old PFPs just because they’re rare, that’s like buying $LTC thinking it might become the next Bitcoin.

Adapt or get left behind.

NFTs are coming back, just not in the way you might expect.
