Bored Ape NFTs are all over the web, now 2 ripoffs are fighting over who is original
India Today
Two ripoffs of the Bored Ape Yacht Club are facing bans from several NFT marketplaces. Yet, the priority for both right now is to establish which one is better between the two.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is among the most expensive collections of NFTs today. The hype of the unique collection has caused some of the Bored Ape pieces to sell for millions of dollars. Naturally, there are others who wish to cash in on this hype and now it seems they are fighting among themselves to get the bigger chunk.
Case in point, two ripoffs of the Bored Ape Yacht Club have been fighting each other for which one is legit. On one side, there is the Phunky Ape Yacht Club or PAYC, which launched earlier this month. On the other, PHAYC, satirical use of the word “fake,” launched later in December. Both have one thing in common - they thrive off BAYC.
