The ape in that screenshot belongs to Steve (@day25), an early Bored Ape Yacht Club holder.
What happened in 2021?
During peak NFT euphoria (late 2021):
A buyer privately offered over 1,000 ETH for his Bored Ape
At the time, ETH was around $4,000
That offer was worth ~$4,000,000+
Steve refused to sell.
At that moment, many people thought he was crazy.
Fast forward to today…
That same ape is worth a tiny fraction of that offer.
The buyer would have lost millions.
Now he jokes:
“You should send me 50 ETH for saving you 950 ETH.”
This is not an NFT story.
This is a bubble psychology story.
When markets go parabolic:
✅Offers feel infinite
✅Buyers feel endless
✅Prices feel justified
Until liquidity disappears.
We saw it in NFTs.
We see it in altcoins.
We even see it in metals right now.
