NFT Monkey: The Blockchain Jungle
NFTs have had quite a year. The crypto winter has done little to abate the love and the strength of the Community. Yet, out of all the successful Projects, it has been the primate-themed projects that have grabbed the hearts and imaginations of NFT Monkey enthusiasts and community alike. This admiration within the community has been helped immensely by the Bored Ape Yacht Club – the most popular and most valuable NFT Monkey collection in the world. But the movement has grown into so much more than just the Bored Apes. The Community has fallen madly in love with all things NFT Monkey, but why? Here, we look a little into what all the buzz is about.

NFT Monkey or Bust!
The NFT Monkey craze has taken the PFP NFT world by storm. A PFP NFT is a Profile Picture NFT and these types of NFTs are used as profile pictures on their respective owner’s social media accounts. The PFPs are used as status symbols and are basically seen as the avatar of the owner. In many respects, the owner takes on the characteristics and style of his NFT Monkey. Or more likely than not, the owner chooses an NFT that has the characteristics and attributes that most resemble the owner. Indeed, the profile picture comes to represent the owner.
Bored Ape Yacht Club
The most popular NFT Monkey – by both popular culture and monetary standards – is the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The Bored Ape Yacht Club Project includes 10,000 NFTs that minted at 0.08 ETH, with sales in the secondary market for upwards of $1,000,000.00 for just ONE of the Bored Apes. The owners behind have the Bored Apes have created their own crypto, – ApeCoin – as well as their own metaverse. The metaverse mint for the Bored Ape Yacht Club was the largest mint in the history of NFTs.
