TRIPPY DOWN: As Market Dump, BAYC Member AceMilhawk Traded For A Grail!

As the broader crypto market takes a dive this week, with Bitcoin teetering around the pivotal $60,000 support level and Ethereum falling to lows just above $1,500, some NFT collectors have stayed bored and used this moment of fear, uncertainty, and doubt to "trippy" down on their convictions!

Earlier this week, longtime BAYC member AceMihawk made a trade with fellow club member Scott Steger, swapping two Bored Apes, a Mutant Ape, and 10.5 ETH for a grail of a primate that he'd been eyeing for a long time: Bored Ape #2376.

 

“Probably 4 months ago was when I first saw it when it was put on the market to sell and then I saw it get bought then about a month or 2 ago when it went back on the market,” Ace told the Gazette. “I was watching it.”

 

For Ace, not only was this primate a grail because of its trippy fur, but also because of its halo trait.

“ I wanted this trippy specifically because it was a double bored with a halo and I'm big on the halo and devil horns,” he said. “I have 3 halo apes so it definitely help sell me on it since there are only 2 halo trippy apes in the collection.”

After the trade, Ace has since PFP'd his new trippy fur primate, signaling to everyone that he's anything but bored with NFTs.

“Seeing this Trippy Ape in my wallet still doesn't feel real,” Ace tweeted after the acquisition. “I’ve looked at this Ape more times than I can count and never really thought I’d end up owning it. BIG thanks to @Scott_Stegerand  @GrailsOTC for helping make the deal happen, Absolute legends.”

 

The Gazette will continue to follow Ace and will let you know who else trippy downs on conviction during this latest market dip. Stay tuned for updates!
