Additionally, the Redditor said that this is a move that documents the sheer hatred that the blockchain space is getting and mock the non-believers. They wrote:

“With this collection, my objective is to summarize what skeptics have to say about NFTs, capturing an era that I am sure will be studied for decades to come.”

According to the Redditor, the quotes come with a signature that pays homage to what they describe as the trolling that is very common in our blockchain ecosystem. Apart from this, they noted that the nonfungible tokens (NFTs) also contain hidden easter eggs that point to the Ethereumblockchain.

Lastly, the creator of the NFT collection also claimed that they are following experts' advice tobuild during the bear market. “They say to build something during the bear market, so I did,” they wrote.

As the bear market continues, unique NFT projects are popping up within the space. Earlier in August, Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) software was used to reimagine Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs intomachine-made abstract paintings. The project was called Artsy Monke, combining technology with art, according to its creators.

In a recent interview with Cointelegraph, NFT expert Ahren Posthumus highlighted that it's agood time to purchase NFTswhile the prices are down. However, the expert urged investors to be vigilant in choosing which projects to invest in.
