Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at a situation where one of the biggest brands in the world of NFTs, Bored Apes Yacht Club hosted an event in Hong Kong that left it's attendees potentially blind for the rest of their lives.

Note from me the poster: I added a bit title, because the original title is not descriptive.

Worst is that it happened before in Japan so the organizers should have known.

But also the blind forever is exaggerated, uvc exposure damage to the eyes is temporary.

It doesn't say 'forever'. It says 'for the rest of their lives' so it depends how much time they have left.
