Section 1: Raising the Issue (Rahab)
“Bored Ape Yacht Club’s sales skyrocketed by almost 499% in just a week.”
Rahab placed her glass on the table and gave a quiet laugh. But the laughter carried more unease than joy.
“On the surface, the headlines scream that NFT markets are reviving. But look deeper—this is nothing more than engineered speculation. U.S. megafunds are exploiting NFTs to chase quick profits. DAO, decentralization, community networks—these ideals mean nothing to them. In fact, destroying them is the real agenda.”
Her words cut through the air like lightning in a storm.
“We’re witnessing NFTs being reduced to mere speculative stock certificates. And no one dares to stop it. That’s exactly why I’m speaking out.”
“Bored Ape Yacht Club’s weekly sales reportedly surged by ~500%. But is this a renaissance of art—or an engineered frenzy?”
— Rahab
We’re watching NFTs being reshaped into mere financial chips. The ideals of DAO and community are sidelined by capital’s logic.
Illustrative flow; actual drivers vary by period & conditions.
“Web3 should serve DAOs and communities. Speculative capital rewrites that story.” — Rahab
Section 2: The Fear of Consequences (Moka)
“Rahab, that’s terrifying if true.”
Moka clenched her fists, her eyes misting slightly.
“I saw NFTs as hope. That no matter where you live, you could express yourself through digital art and have your work forever etched on-chain. That felt like love. But what do we see now? BAYC’s surge isn’t driven by appreciation of art—it’s just traders chasing numbers. Artists are invisible to them.”
Her voice grew smaller.
“Wasn’t Web3 supposed to democratize access? Instead, has it been hijacked into nothing but a speculative game?”
“I believed NFTs could connect creators and fans across borders. But when prices shout the loudest, does art still get heard?” — Moka
“It hurts when love and expression stand in the shadow of a price chart.” — Moka
Section 3: Quoting and Reflecting (Rachel)
Rachel leaned back lazily, flipping through a heavy book. His tone was flat, but his words were sharp.
“‘An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative.’”
He closed the book and stared at the ceiling.
“Now tell me—where does BAYC’s surge fit? Safety? Analysis? None. All we see is frenzy and greed. Which makes this—pure speculation.”
Rachel smirked.
“Markets always repeat themselves. Tulips, the South Sea Bubble, the dot-com craze, and now NFTs. Humanity never learns. This is just another chapter in the same stupid story.”
“If an operation promises safety of principal and an adequate return after thorough analysis, it’s ‘investment.’ Otherwise, it’s ‘speculation’.” — Rachel
“Frenzy looks beautiful—until it turns cruel.” — Rachel
Section 4: Historical Parallels and Real Speculation (Rahab & Rachel)
Rahab:
“What’s striking is how U.S. capital is orchestrating this. For them, NFTs are just the ‘next financial product.’ DAO and decentralization are nothing but marketing jargon. Behind the scenes, exchanges and funds pump BAYC prices, media amplifies it, retail chases in, and the profits flow straight back to the institutions.”
Rachel:
“Exactly. Talk of love and expression collapses in front of capital’s cold logic. One line I read still rings true: ‘At times, markets are ruled by folly.’ That’s what’s happening now. Folly upon folly. That’s why I stay detached.”
“Under the rhetoric of decentralization, centralized capital logic still rules.” — Rahab
“History repeats; only the names change.” — Rachel
“The ethos says ‘decentralized’; the texture feels ‘centralized’. Face the contradiction.” — Rahab
Section 5: The Path Forward (John)
John finally spoke, his calm voice tinged with a feverish intensity.
“BAYC’s surge is a passing frenzy. But the true potential of NFTs remains. Proof of ownership. Direct support for artists. Communities built around shared culture. That is the real value.”
“That’s why we launched PGirlsChain and issued our own PGirls token. A network independent of U.S. capital, designed as a true DAO. Here, transactions settle instantly, royalties go directly to creators, and fans engage without intermediaries. This isn’t just finance—it’s culture.”
“To withstand speculation, we need an independent network that implements our values. That’s why we run PGirlsChain and issue the PGirls token.” — John
“We choose to build our own rails instead of playing someone else’s game.” — John
Section 6: Conclusion (John)
“Criticizing the market frenzy is easy. But criticism alone changes nothing. BAYC’s surge forces us to ask: do we follow speculation, or do we return to essence?”
“Our answer is clear. Not speculation, but love and expression. Not U.S. capital, but PGirlsChain. Building a DAO-driven community, free from external dominance—that is our mission.”
John’s eyes gleamed, balanced between calm wisdom and burning madness.
