Generative NFTs are like the Bored Ape Yacht Club, where there are a variety of randomized traits across a collection.<\/p>\n When I first heard this news, I had two thoughts simultaneously (using up my entire daily allotment):<\/p>\n and<\/p>\n So, yes, this is apparently going to be the second set of NFTs featuring Brooklyn (TIL, that\u2019s the baby shark\u2019s name) and his family. The first was announced late last year<\/a> and, according to Pinkfong, sold out immediately. I regret to inform you that people have spent hundreds and even thousands of dollars on these NFTs, though the initial sale happened in December 2021. That was, according to NonFungible\u2019s market tracker<\/a>, riiiight before the NFT market started to slump. Sadly, that probably means there are some Baby Shark bag holders<\/a> out there.<\/p>\n As for whether Pinkfong is trying to get kids interested in this… I\u2019m really not sure where I land on that. Its roadmap<\/a> (which, yes, does include developing \u201cBaby Shark\u2019s footprint and the universe in the metaverse<\/a>\u201d) very much seems written for investors and adults. Still, it also banks on you knowing and caring about the \u201cBaby Shark\u201d characters and wanting to be part of the community. That\u2019s just not something I see being true for most adults, though I guess I could always be wrong about that. <\/p>\n What\u2019s definitely not<\/em> for kids is the \u201cBaby Shark\u201d party at NFT.NYC that Pinkfong will be using to celebrate its second round of NFTs. The company describes the event as a \u201cnight of fantastic entertainment, music, and networking,\u201d and let me tell you; I am absolutely dying to know what kind of networking goes on at a party for \u201cBaby Shark\u201d NFTs. Am I curious enough to endure NFT.NYC to find out? Well, unfortunately, I\u2019m too busy doing absolutely anything else that day (plus, you know, I wasn\u2019t invited for some reason). But if you<\/em> end up going, please email me<\/a> to tell me what it was like. <\/p>\n If you missed our Baby Shark party in Austin, don’t worry, we’re going bigger next week in NYC! <\/p>\n Our party, Baby Shark Nite @ The Nolcha Shows: NFT Edition, is going down next Monday 6\/20 during https:\/\/t.co\/tEgGxaSihf<\/a>.<\/p>\n This event is invite-only, so DM us for more info! \ud83d\ude42 pic.twitter.com\/xXRXHL99A9<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Baby Shark NFT (@nft_babyshark) June 15, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
