What are NFTs really about?
Over the last few month NFTs have been everywhere. The Punks, The Apes, The Beeple and Billions in sales they have been on top of everyones minds, but what are really NFTs in their most fundemental levels, in our humble opinion.
NFTs are Fraternities and a little Sororities
I never had the pleasure to be part of a fraternity but I seen "Old School" and had a few buddies that shared the stories of their past, and I can say from outside NFTs are a fraternity.
NFTs aren’t just art. They’re also an authentication layer for Web 3.

They will enable instantaneous acess into tighter, gated, and (hopefully) less toxic online communities.
The Apes not only share the group interest in crypto, trading, art and NFTs, but now they are directly involved in governance and economics of that particular club. Some are creating derivatioves, others are educating the masses and thats just the tip of the NFT icebergg that will be melting and flowing thru everyting. Apes are projects are just like AlphaSIgmaPie and Punks are typical Kappa Alpha Theta.
NFTs create the HISTORY and the MYSTERY. When you get a specific NFT you get to be a member of one of the world’s brightest and most creative people. Symbols and degrees are designed to “elevate and improve the character of humans. By taking these lessons to heart you become a better person and in turn help to make the world around you a better place.
I don’t think there is unconditional love; love is discovery of shared sacredness. Love is oblivious to status and gains, but not to corruption. And I find attempts at manipulating the need for affiliation of lonely people with mechanical puppet theatre dehumanizing and revolting pic.twitter.com/LiYXpxClvu

NFTs are Nerd Gangs, Once we see Blood Punks and Apes of New York or LostLatinKings it will get really interesting. If shilling would be killing, Lazy Lions or Crazy Ryans would definitely be top NFT Nerd Gands. Apes is a perfect example, we have secret leadership, associates, friends, or members of a family with a defined leadership and internal organization that identifies with or claims control over intellectual property in the NFT community and engages, either individually or collectively, in beneficial behavior and camaraderie.
