A Bored Ape Yacht Club member named Stew_Eth has started a suit-up movement that has inspired the NFT community to suit up their avatars and celebrate the ongoing auction at Christie's.

Stew dressed up over 200 apes for the event 

The community-driven newspaper TheBoredApeGazette wrote that Stew was the first to start the trend, tweeting, "If you want a suit for your ape, reply with your ape number," while showing his ape with a suit on Twitter. This tweet hit like a bomb and led to many apes deciding to do the same including Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry who recently joined the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

According to Stew, he dressed over 200 apes for the event. Hundreds of other apes were suited up with the help of BAYC community members. As more and more apes wanted to suit up their NFT, one collector launched suitape.com to make it easier for collectors to dress up their apes or mutants. Apes and mutants interested in suiting up just had to click on the link and enter their ID number. After filling in the information collectors were redirected to a page that showed their ape with a suit on.

Other NFT communities followed the trend

Because the auction is a huge milestone for the  NFT space, other NFT communities decided it was time to show respect to the Bored Apes and suited up their NFTs as well. Many Gutter Cats, Cool Cats, SupDucks, Wicked Craniums, and Pudgy Penguins decided to post their avatar in a suit. This shows how connected the NFT space is and how all these collectors have fun with each other on platforms like Twitter and Discord. 

It's interesting to see the behavior of the apes compared to the other collections that have been auctioned off, such as Meebits and Cryptopunks. The Bored Ape Yacht Club once again started a trend and decided to celebrate the auction by putting their NFTs suits on, inspiring the entire NFT community. We have not seen that with any other NFT collection during an auction. 

How is the auction going? 

The auction at Christie's, titled No Time Like Present, consisting of six Cryptopunks, four, Meebits and four Bored Apes, began yesterday. It will be exciting to see how high the final bids will be for these items. The rarest NFT in the auction is CryptoPunk 9997, one of the 88 zombie punks, and is currently sitting at a bid of $616.792,94. Bored Ape #8746 is the ape with the highest bid and currently sits at a bid of $513.994,12. The Meebit with the highest bid is Meebit #6337 which is one of the 57 skeleton Meebits and sits at a bid of  $83.524,04. The auction ends on September 28, so collectors have plenty of time to drive up the prices on these NFTs.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked.
