While the world of cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens has been adopted by some and has drifted away from others, it has never experienced such a complicated time as the current one.
A recent cryptocurrency slump has left some adopters on social media wondering if their investments were an idea. And interest in NFTs has plummeted, which has also generated hypotheses about their price as investments. Uncertainty about either has increased considerably.
But cryptocurrency and NFT enthusiasts tend to be engaged and passionate about their investments, let alone talk about them in language that would be gibberish to the average user.
So, it makes sense that he came up with the idea of creating a dating site for cryptocurrency/NFT enthusiasts so that they actually have a chance to fall in love.
It was called Lonely Ape Dating Club and, like anything similar to cryptocurrencies, it was designed to be an exclusive party for a few people.
You can only participate if you owned a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT, which has the distinctive “can’t with us” vibe of a “Mean Girls” moment.
On the other hand, since celebrities like Eminem, Jimmy Fallon, Mark Cuban, and even Madonna possessed them, someone with an active mind could foresee the opportunity to meet them at least on such a dating app.
All of this is in the time beyond, as you may have noticed, as the dating app for crypto bros has been canceled.
Bored Ape Yacht Club
Well, yes and no. In fact, it seemed like there was one at the beginning, as announced in February until the year 4000, a collective of hackers and NFT collectors.
But the app had demands. It required users to link their crypto wallets, for example, and eliminate potential matches across cryptocurrency price and net worth. After all, why talk about things like common goals and the preference to start a circle of relatives when you could be?Are you getting poetic about the long term of blockchain?
But then that tweet about the Dating Club appeared on May 12 and it seemed like the founders had to cancel the project.
Naturally, the enemies of cryptocurrencies and NFTs immediately scoffed and rushed to use them as further evidence that homeowners with NFT are too clumsy to love.
But according to Buzzfeed News, the app itself possibly never had existed, as its author hinted at it in Twitter direct messages with the writer.
We’d probably never know if the app was a joke in the first place or a real task that didn’t work as expected.
Meanwhile, the NFT of the Bored Ape Yacht Club continues to spark interest, but if you need to faint with the small exclusive club that owns those NFTs, you’ll just have to sneak into your outdated DMs.
