 If you ever feel stupid, just remember there are people who spent 5+ BTC to buy jpgs on ETH that were just links to Google drive

 Somehow... I think you're not joking. 🀦 
 Fairly certain some people even spent millions

 Just this week 60 of them sold for 11 Eth or about ~0.5 #BTC which is 50,000,000 #Sats or 2.3 million #zaps at 21 sats/#zap

The peak shows 170 Eth per gif w/ volume of 18 gifs sold #HODL #bitcoinstr since Eth may go to zero selling Eth for a google drive gif sounds reasonable. https://image.nostr.build/fc7e73679a8162b1fd3936d19c05e47c13192699e6b06ed6e7382933d9efd339.jpg

 Ironic that they're called "bored apes"...

These things are still going for ~$30K... 😳 

Perhaps "stupid apes" would have been more appropriate...

 They won't understand the value of supporting independent artists instead of scam projects.
