As the market dumped last night, this longtime Bored Ape Yacht Club member did some king shit and upgraded his primate!
The 12-hour bear market of February 2, 2025, was as brutal as it was quick. As many coped on the timeline, BAYC JFarley aped on-chain and made a move to upgrade his ape, acquiring Bored Ape #5296 for 17.5 ETH or $43,600 USD jjust hours after Ethereum wicked down to around $2,300 USD .
Bored Ape #5296 is a six-trait black-fur primate with a puffy vest, scumbag eyes, and a king’s crown. Based on these traits, this primate is the 3,057th rarest Ape, according to Magic Eden.
“It’s a beautiful Ape and I believe in buying when there’s blood in the streets,” JFarley told the Gazete. “It didn’t hurt that a wallet with 40 million in ETH swept Apes right before I decided to go for this Ape. I always wanted a Crown and this was my chance with ETH dipping like it has. This Ape may well be my forever Ape.”
Following his purchase at the pico bottom last night, Apes took to the timeline to congratulate JFarley on buying the dip and applauded his Ape’s aesthetics.
The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow longtime BAYC members who make moves, go ape around the swamp, and contribute to the $Ape ecosystem. Stay tuned for updates!
