The Superlative Apes NFTs are a collection of Bored Apes derivative NFTs that feature colorful pastels. The project amassed a large following (including, apparently, the rapper Eminem), and its first collection of 4,444 NFTs sold out after launching in December 2021, netting the creators 301 ETH [Ethereum coins, a competitor to Bitcoin] (about $1.2 million at the time). They also sold most of their 8,888-piece Superlative Mutated Apes collection …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For lots more money. But here’s the important part:<\/p>\n

The project has been plagued with issues including missed deadlines, accusations of plagiarism (somehow), and connections to another rug-pulled project. Additionally, a flawed staking contract required the team to have holders migrate their NFTs to a new contract\u2014a slow and painful process that has resulted in most of the NFTs being “stuck” in a temporary contract. People who have questioned the project or accused them of rug pulling have been banned from the Discord and blocked on Twitter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because negative remarks will slow the flow of wealth from the non-wealthy to the wealthy, and we Just Can’t Have That.<\/p>\n

This is computer-based grift. If the project personnel were honest, there’d be no banning anyone who had negative comments; instead, they’d be responded to and, if they’re trolls, permitted to twist in the wind.<\/p>\n

The banning simply marks the project as dishonest, and possibly fraudulent.<\/p>\n
