      Couple of years back I found a piece of ape-based street art on a corner in Cape Town. Can’t seem to upload it from phone right now but will do in morning

        the bored ape is a perfectly good cartoon ape! it’s inherently slightly amusing!

        but being crypto bros, they couldn’t not bludgeon it into the ground
