They're both copying high-priced apes from the Bored Ape Yacht Club, flipping them horizontally, and minting them as new NFTs. :Dhttps://t.co/Pw1gUyLtPL
This may be one of the core problems with NFTs. https://t.co/7i7gW15Hiz

There are not one but *two* different NFT projects who simply take the Bored Apes NFTs and flip them horizontally and re-sell them. When crypto people are mocking crypto themselves, how long until the bottom drops out of this market? https://t.co/MpeSr02vz1

Say what you like about NFTs, but in most fields of collecting, it takes decades for arguments about whether something is a REAL fake to get going. https://t.co/88Go9htGxS

So here’s the deal: yes, NFTs are reinventing property rights. But, without rich #trust and #identity solutions, they’re just going to make work for IP lawyers. https://t.co/IFkI7Iy34h
