It quite literally is lmao
Not at all. Membership to a country club can be a status symbol, as an example.
Membership to a country club grants you... physical access to a country club.
And this monkey picture gives you access to events.
No, buying a ticket to the event got you access to the event
Yeah but you need an ape to get in. I don't even know why you are arguing. There are non physical status symbols people use all the time. That's literally what nft's are, status symbols. Or at least were during their hayday.
You don't need an ape to get in lmao, you just get free admission if you do have one. And we're arguing because you're trying to defend the nonsensical position that "status symbols don't have to have physical worth/existence", and then trying to back that position with bored ape NFTs, which are recognized as worthless outside of the crypto world, and even by some inside the crypto world.
If you actually look at the site for this event, apes get in for free. So you're actually wrong on that.
Can you read? Lmao that's what I said. People with an ape get free admission. You don't need an ape to purchase a ticket though.
