🎨💥 Justin Bieber’s $1.3M NFT Bet — A Brutal Lesson in Hype Cycles
In Jan 2022, Justin Bieber became one of the most high-profile faces of the NFT boom after paying 500 ETH (~$1.3M) for Bored Ape #3001 🐒
The catch?
It wasn’t rare.
No standout traits.
A pure floor Ape — even at peak hype.
That alone raised eyebrows across the NFT space 👀
⏳ Fast-forward 4 years…
Estimated value today: ~$12,000
Implied loss: ~99% 📉
Celebrity premium? Didn’t save it
Comparable Bored Apes with similar traits collapsed just as hard, showing fame alone isn’t enough when liquidity disappears.
🚀 Context Matters
When Bieber bought:
NFT hype was still accelerating
BAYC floor prices later peaked near $429K (April 2022)
Beeple’s $69.3M NFT sale was still fresh in everyone’s mind
This wasn’t an isolated buy — it was peak mania.
❄️ Then Came the NFT Winter
BAYC, CryptoPunks, Pudgy Penguins → all sharply down
Floor prices that once touched six figures evaporated
Prediction markets show low confidence in a near-term recovery
🧠 What Survives the Crash?
Despite price destruction, Yuga Labs is still building:
🏙️ Real-world BAYC clubhouse (Miami)
🌐 Ongoing development of Otherside metaverse
But the market has spoken:
👉 Hype is temporary
👉 Liquidity is everything
👉 Celebrities don’t stop drawdowns
📌 NFTs didn’t die — but blind speculation did.

NFT: The Magical Realism of the Digital World, Your Avatar Might Be More Expensive Than Your House!
From a cat to a house, how is NFT driving the world crazy?
Do you remember the 'CryptoKitties' that sold for millions of dollars in 2017? Yes, it's that pixelated cat that looks like it was drawn with Windows 95. At the time, everyone thought the world was crazy - a virtual cat was actually more expensive than a real cat! But who would have thought this was just the beginning of the magical realism of NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Now, NFTs have evolved from 'CryptoKitties' to 'crypto art', 'crypto real estate', and even 'crypto socks'. Yes, you heard it right, socks can also be NFT-ed, and the price might be more expensive than all the socks in your wardrobe combined. Today, let's talk about this NFT world that has driven countless people crazy and puzzled many others.

This Week in Web3 and NFT (83)
Welcome to the OpenSea Digest, let’s recap the biggest NFT and web3 news of the week.
Amber Vittoria launches 'Auras'
On December 12, abstract artist Amber Vittoria released her latest series 'Auras' on Coinbase Layer 2 (L2) Base, consisting of colorful, dreamlike NFTs. After a three-phase sale for VIPs and the public, this collection of 550 abstract pixelated artworks sold out before noon.
As described in the series, each Aura represents an emotional snapshot of the human experience. Vittoria avoids coding rarity into the artwork or adding utility to reinforce the idea that each piece is a celebration of complex emotions, unique in its own right.

The loss of Yuga Labs behind becoming the "LVMH of NFT"
When Yuga Labs announced the acquisition of PROOF, the development team of Moonbirds, there was almost no doubt about Yuga Labs’ “LVMH of NFT” label.
Now, Yuga Labs owns top NFT IP/projects such as CryptoPunks, BAYC, MAYC, BAKC, "Monkeyland" Otherdeed, Meebits, Moonbirds, etc. These projects occupy 8 of the top 15 projects with the largest transaction volume in OpenSea history.
But at the same time, Yuga Labs also encountered the most powerful challenger in history. On February 17, the floor price of Pudgy Penguins surpassed BAYC for the first time. Contrary to Yuga Labs’ continuous progress in acquisitions in recent years, “Boring” The charm of "ape" is constantly fading.
