What makes Bored Apes Collection valuable?

The impressionist collection of Bored Apes yacht Club is highly subjective. What makes these articles so costly is a mix of thoughts and is very prejudiced. Robust community, influential celebrity involvement, club membership, organized meeting are a few of the reasons that the ape collection is getting more attention in the market. Moreover, it increases the overall aspirational value of the collectibles in the commercialized market.

Surely, Bored Ape Yacht Club has its ways to keep the NFT owners involved in their best innovational ways. They created “Bore Ape Kennel Club” to promote a dog mimicked NFT on the platform. The owner gets a chance to adopt these dogs NFT and owns an opportunity to showcase them in the market and can even sell/rent in the future. Similarly, in August the BAYC released a ‘digital serum vial’ which upon consuming by the apes could turn them into their mutant counterparts.
