(1) My Thoughts on why @BoredApeYC will be successful
Punks are looked up to. They're the "OGs" of the crypto/avatar/NFT World. They represent scarcity, status, foresight.
In what was once a world of opaque high stakes risk - Punks are the payoff.

(2) As most realize - they are looked up to by nearly everyone in the space.
They've even made their way into Christies - building a bridge between being admired in the metaverse AND the universe.

(3) Punks also come with a level of blind trust.
Any project that they develop, enter, share, or shill will have people jumping in relative to their bankroll.

(4) Punks get access
Companies, brands, start-ups and artists are finding ways to build around punks. @RTFKTstudios has an unknown project but it is building up insane hype everyday.
@larvalabs gave them free drops on meebits

(5) With this new bull run comes the rise of newfound wealth. There are capable intelligent (people) from all walks of life finding success here.
Artists, marketers, designers, coders, college students, and flippers have positioned themselves into a spot to be looked up to.

(6) But they are missing the ultimate status symbol and unfettered access
Something that shows they belong in this world, even though they may not be an "OG" they are a "New G"
This simple idea permeates the hunt for NFTs

(7) They may not have insane crypto wealth, but they have a crypto audience and enough to support a thriving existence here.
I am one of these people

(8)Enter Bored Apes.
Just another NFT avatar?
I thought so at first glance. Until I saw the types of people buying Apes.
They were nascent big name artists, writers, ex DFS analysts, well known @zed_run owners.
People that 5 months ago didn't have a huge audience... now do

(9) What I see is a group of newly successful crypto investors buying their version of entrance into a tribe (that they belong) and the status symbol that matches.
Apes represent the New Gs. And it comes from a place of pure respect and admiration for the OGs.

(10) The market for apes (which I studied immensely over the first few days) has many bullish indicators.
The strongest being the people I'm seeing utilize the avatar and still holding after an easy 20-100x.
So thus I will continue to be apart of the ape tribe
