What the heck is happening during this bear market? Will Okay Bears make the bear market…ummm…bearable? How did they find the niche in a highly competitive NFTs market? Is Okay Bears The Next Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)? Are you buying into Solana Summer?
Well….My question is:
Will those Bears be crazy at questions of “Okay or Not Okay” Like Prince Hamlet？😮
Let’s cut the garbage and dive right into it now.
What is Okay Bears?
Website: https://www.okaybears.com
Twitter: https://twitter.com/okaybears
Discord: http://discord.gg/bearwithus
Marketplace: https://magiceden.io/marketplace/okay_bears
Okay Bears is a culture shift, a clean collection of 10,000 diverse bears building a virtuous community that will transcend the internet into the real world.
They have 137K Followers on Twitter.
Their Discord server now has more than 11k active users, which indicates a well-hyped server.
They refer to themselves as clean bears.
Even with the market being red every which way, the color green was chosen and an okay gesture proudly displayed, as if they are uber bullish in this bear market.
They called themselves an extraordinary brand built by ordinary people and describe their success as a domino effect when things are going well.
Truly, Okay Bears’ value continues to rise with an All-Time High (ATH) floor price of 265 SOL ($13,749.29). At the time of this writing on May 20th 2022, the floor price is 216.66 SOL ($11,241.21)
The number is off the Solana charts!
The average price has been rising steadily as a sign of increasing demand for the bears.
A lot of Twitter influencers are buying them, even Faze Banks bought 20 of them.
Their website, Twitter, illustration, MANIFESTO, and even their song W.A.G.B.O. in cooperation with @grimebreezy all sound very nice.
It seems like everything is well-mannered.
In particular, the whole thing got a bit more fun when it comes to Solana, a blockchain way cheaper than Ethereum.
Basically, all I know is that they are making the difference.
For example, those bears went with a Blueprint unlike a traditional linear Roadmap.
What is Blueprint for Community Brand?
Actually, people are tired of fake roadmaps.
Trust me, lots of NFT projects really don’t know their future direction. What they want is to take money out of your pocket.
With Okay Bears, they’re not just releasing a roadmap. They’re laying out the Blueprint to help guide and build a community-centric, world-leading web3 brand.
What does that even mean?
It means that they have no timelines or no direct path. 😂
So what?
At least they are honest.
This may come from the team members’ mentality.
Kais, the co-founder of Okay Bears, grew up watching Kobe Bryant. A lot of his mentality in life in general is trying to adapt that Mamba mentality (Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most).
The team trusts the process and then leaves everything to the heavens above.
Compared with a linear roadmap, I believe the Blueprint contains more possibilities.
This gave Okay Bears the freedom to make innovation without fear of hard deadlines.
What is The Park?
In the center of the Blueprint is The Park.
At the core of Okay Bears is a digital space built in the middle ground of the metaverse, where it is okay to be okay.
To put it in a nutshell, it is the Okay Bears Discord. 😓 (I think Bears should learn to talk like humans.)
Through meaningful member-only merch drops, outdoor campaigns, exclusive live events and collaborations with indie businesses and world-renowned brands, we create a community-centric, globally recognised brand that is a force for good.
If you hold an Okay Bears NFT, then you get full access to their Park, namely the Discord community for now.
In the future, holders may also be eligible to attend private meets, parties, and various events in the park.
The Bear Market Is Magic Eden
Magic Eden is Solana’s #1 NFTs marketplace, where Okay Bears holders will buy and sell Okay Bears with member-only perks.
In the future, Okay Bears may find more cooperative routes with Magic Eden, such as, holder-only access to exclusive merch (e.g. hoodies and wristbands) through seamless integration of Web 3 and Shopify’s robust e-commerce platform.
IRL (In Real Life) stores through flash pop-up stores in cities worldwide and leading tech and crypto conferences bring holders together for memorable brand experiences both in web3 and web2.
More importantly, they were more concerned about what they intend to do and do it in an ultimate free way instead of specific utility or some individual items that cater to customers.
Kais, the co-founder of Okay Bears, has been working on brands for almost 13 years. I know that he will lead us in the right direction.
Is Okay Bears The Next Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)?
Okay Bears is definitely the next The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC).
At least on Solana.
Apparently, Okay Bears found a perfect niche in Solana, there wasn’t any famous brand on the once forgotten Solana.
Seeing the success of BAYC, Okay Bears are wondering what is the next animal that can feel human enough for people to associate with, and they landed on bears.
They are aiming to be the biggest brand on Solana. That was literally the reason why they created Okay Bears, and they made it.
Besides, before they launched Okay Bears, they did large amounts of research on other successful NFTs projects. Such as BAYC, Doodles, Azuki, CLONE X, CryptoPunks and so on. The founders believed they got there by standing on the shoulders of giants.
History informs us that stories of success are also stories of great failures.
In the same way, the Okay Bears team had four different illustrators before and tried to take Bears to different directions.
They continually recast their archetype and finally they hit it.
Unlike NFTs rug pulls. Okay Bears’ target is even not the BAYC, but the world’s most valuable brands like Apple, Disney, Nike, Sony and Adidas.
Now you can believe that they are diamond hands and hold 100 years of branding operations.
Okay Bears, Not Okay Bears, and Baby Okay Bears
Just looking at the top-performing projects you can start seeing the trend that I’m about to talk about.
We’ve got Okay Bears on the top1, an NFT collection that took Solana by storm.
And we’ve got Not Okay Bears on the top 2 as well, an NFT collection that took a two-day tour to OpenSea. 🤣
Actually, the Not Okay Bears is an Okay Bears knockoff on Ethereum.
They are the same, just the bears’ orientation were changed.
The Not Okay Bears claimed that they launched on Ethereum because there are a lot of people who are against Okay Bears and they don’t want to try Solana. They are the guardians of Ethereum and OpenSea by the sound of it.
Actually, the argument rang a little thin to me.
It was totally a publicity stunt！
This guy or group of people behind the Not Okay Bears, I don’t know, of course there are no dogs, just want to make a quick buck. Right?
However, I have to admit that they got the money.
Not Okay Bears did a crazy volume like 2399 Ethereum by May 18, 2022.
That is so funny.
All right, well, I had a thought.
I am going to launch a copy of the NFT collection called it’s Okay to Not Be Okay Bears.
That’s the stuff!
What do you think of that, guys?
And now OpenSea delists Solana Okay Bears knockoff Not Okay Bears.
OpenSea has to. Otherwise, a lot of people will be left with worthless NFTs.
Conclusion
In the NFT community, most projects invest time, share ideas, collaborate with artists, talk on Twitter Spaces, and support and buy into each other’s NFTs to hype the floor price.
But Okay Bears were unconcerned with the floor price.
What they really want is to drive the community to a new web3 high combined with the web2 operation and bring together people with common interests.
They didn’t go out offering whitelists and seeking influencers for cooperation.
Their unusual sincerity and devotion to the common good of holders earned support from community members.
After all, if we’re just all building carefully and in a considerate way, finally, #WAGBO. 👌🐻
