Description
Pranksy’s claim that Bored Apes helped ruin NFTs sparks a long debate over what actually went wrong during the last NFT cycle, from copycat projects and over-financialization to the communities that kept people engaged. The conversation also digs into builder persistence, product-market fit and when sticking with a project starts creating diminishing returns. Earlier in the show, ApeCoin’s recent move and ApePay lead into a broader discussion about whether spending volatile tokens makes sense when stablecoins already solve payments more cleanly.
