Our Latest Acquisition: Ape #4688, One of Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Most Wanted NFTs Ever
We’ve already given you at least 5 reasons to become part of the Crypto Thots community. But for those who are still looking for a sixth reason to go for it, here’s the good news: we’ve officially become the holders of Bored Ape Yacht Club’s #4688 Ape, one of their most wanted NFTs ever. And we aren’t looking to sell it any time soon, for our community to be able to benefit from it. Any airdrops that BAYC will be making starting from now on will be given to our community.
Let’s see why owning a BAYC NFT is such a big deal — and how you’ll be able to benefit from it.
What’s up with the Bored Ape Yacht Club?
The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of tens of thousands of NFTs.
Celebrities like Eminem, Serena Williams, Stephen Curry, Shaquille O’Neal, and Justin Bieber bought at least one of the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s non-fungible tokens.
According to trading data, the Bored Ape Yacht Club traded $1.4 billion on the OpenSea marketplace, amounting to 466,000 on Ethereum value.
What makes the Bored Ape Yacht Club special?
The NFTs made by the BAYC is the new sensation among celebrities. That is one of the causes of the increment in their prices.
Having a BAYC gives you status, and people like that specific recognition, especially if you belong to the upper-class circle.
“There are 10,000 original Bored Ape NFTs, each with a different combination of features like fur color, background color, outfits, and accessories that make each one unique. All share the same uninterested look. These features give each ape a certain value, depending on how many apes also share the same characteristics. For example, one of the rarest NFTs in the collection, Bored Ape #7495, has a dagger in its mouth, a feature that only 48 other apes have, according to the NFT marketplace OpenSea.” — Fortune
However, the real value is the membership access to the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club is “a digital club with members-only access and benefits.”
The Bored Ape Yacht Club — why join it?
Thus, some of the benefits of being part of the BAYC are as follows:
- Access to THE BATHROOM, a collaborative graffiti board that’s only accessible to MetaMask wallets holding Bored Apes.
- Exclusive Discord server with some celebrity owners.
- Access to additional NFTs.
- Access to the ApeCoin cryptocurrency.
- Bored Ape owners can also show off their NFT as their profile picture on Twitter.
Buying one Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT gets you to access a whole NFT world and crypto-assets.
So, how are we planning to go through with this?
Any airdrops that BAYC will be making starting from now on, will be given to our community of holders. That includes BAYC’s drops, giveaways, and content.
- BAYC drops. To get a better understanding of what this would actually mean, here’s our two cents: Meet a 25-year-old NFT collector who earned $75,000 the day of the ApeCoin airdrop — before the Bored Ape token surged 90% (Fortune). Sparking your interest yet?
- BAYC giveaways. Just search up #nftgiveaways on Twitter and you’ll see countless posts. But you won’t be finding much information on BAYC’s giveaways. To have access to them, you need to have bought your Ape (or be part of the Crypto Thots community of holders).
- BAYC content. For example, in June 2021, every Bored Ape holder was allowed to ‘adopt’ a canine companion NFT for free (only paying for ‘gas’, which is the fee you have to pay for processing transactions on the Ethereum blockchain). That’s how Bored Ape Kennel Club was born. The club used secondary sales of these canine companions to raise $1 million for animal shelters.
Thus, what should you be doing next to get access to all of this?

Join us starting from the 8th of June when the minting happens and let’s usher in a new era of thottery.
