NFT status collapsed within months despite heavy celebrity promotion

Evidence

This celebrity support made NFTs appear to be a sure bet. Skeptics were mocked as destined to stay poor, while blockchain-savvy insiders flaunted their ape-head JPEGs as symbols of cultural and financial savvy. Alas, it all began to collapse around the time of the Hilton–Fallon segment. This was as actor Seth Green worked on an ill-fated TV pilot, White Horse Tavern, which posited, “What if your friendly neighborhood bartender was Bored Ape Yacht Club #8398?” The show hit a snag when “Fred,” as he called the ape, was “literally kidnapped” in a phishing attack. — W. David Marx, Blank Space, 733

• CANDY: The Seth Green pilot where his bartender Bored Ape gets ‘kidnapped’ in a phishing attack is pure comic absurdity — great elevator anecdote.
