Super happy for Seedphrase, but also for CT, since it is a bullish sign: NFTs are still here and always will be.

On the Otherside, though (Ah! Got you!), Pransky decided to speak on Bored Ape Yacht Club, literally saying “BAYC ruined NFTs”.

Bored Ape Yacht Club is a lighthouse for us all, and as long as we have them, we will always be sure that NFTs make sense. NFTs will inevitably take over in an increasingly digital world. So, on behalf of CT, thank you, BAYC. Keep building.
