It was to my delight that CryptoKitties had been released. “Wait a second,” I thought. “So, you mean this JPEG can have sex with this JPEG and make a new baby JPEG? Say what?” When CryptoPunks was founded in 2017.Many thought they were ridiculous. These were only 128×128 pixels. It was only 128×128 pixels. They weren’t really cool until Gary Vee had a mastermind Call with influencers and said, “Crypto Punks are going to be huge, go get a bunch of them.” They went in and cornered the market and raised the prices.

Bored Apes existed at the exact same time. Gary launched his project. They got big influencers together and said, “Let’s get these.” And so they all bought those, the prices rose over time. These items cost just 2 Ether at one point.ETH). This was huge back in those days! The floor now has 80 ETH. All these NFTs — CryptoKitties, CryptoPunks and Bored Apes — made big bucks.
