All of this is separate from why Edison failed or the person we were talking about in the last few pages\
Edit: Actually you should look at several of these so called celebrity wallets, I bet you'll find a lot in common. Apes, stoned cats, world of women, all run by the same people (who btw together invested in opensea)

I don’t doubt bored ape eventually paid promoter to promote them. Moonpay is one of the co conspirator of this. Opensea team is doxxed and has been part of inside trading but some of your information is just plain wrong. But that is not the point
What I’m saying is bored ape was already successfully way way way before the celeb endorsement you are seeing now. Where do you think they magically got this money to pay for all these promotion. They started as a 0.08eth mint price like almost every one else. And build what they have now from zero, when the space was baby chick with no feather. The biggest holder of bore apes were literal OG in this space, none of them are real life celebrity. On the outside it looks like the jimmy Fallon, snoop dogg etc are the headline of the bored ape story, really the real story are the hodlerr, ex hidden current hodler of these project.People think jimmy fallon is cool/cringe with his 2 ape?
Try the anon dude that have 100+ apes in his wallet that he either held since mint or brought under 1 eth. Or the thousand of people that have minted, brought and even lose money on one of the hottest collection in the space. Or the biggest whale in the space pranksy that minted 1000 ape and paperhand them all for peanuts. Than rebuying one of the ones he sold for 1.5 million months later. Not much attention are given to these guys by people outside the space. The people which help shape in the space, affect market dynamic in a way more than celebrities even have.
How many people have brought and ape becuase jimmy fallon did? Maybe Paris Hilton. They are just something the public can see but it’s definitely NOT the reason that lead to the success of the ape. It’s the result of month of culminate effect from the team. If you think bored ape literally brought their way to success, well my friend you are very wrong or simply misinformed. You are missing a very critical part of its history that kind of explain the why and how value was create in the first place.
