But anybody can download an ape. These are literally just digital images of an ape.

但是任何人都可以下载一只猿猴。这些实际上只是猿猴的数字图像。

Great question. Anybody can download the image of the ape, but only the owner of the NFT can prove that they are the owner of the image.

好问题。任何人都可以下载无聊猿的图像,但只有NFT的所有者才能证明他们是该图像的所有者。

And so, in that sense, if for example, you are going to log into a digital clubhouse that members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club have access to, you connect your digital wallet, you certify and prove basically to the website that you hold this NFT and then it lets you in and somebody else who has the image can’t do that.

因此,从这个意义上说,例如,如果你要登录到无聊猿游艇俱乐部成员可以访问的数字俱乐部,你连接你的数字钱包,你向网站证明你拥有这个NFT,然后它会让你进入,而拥有该图像的其他人则无法做到这一点。

Steve, I know you have a really good story to explain this one, so maybe toss it to you for a sec. Yeah, absolutely.

史蒂夫,我知道你有一个很好的故事来解释这个,所以你也许想表达一下。是的,当然。

Our friend, Adam Hollander, has a great analogy related to this.

我们的朋友亚当·霍兰德有一个与此相关的绝妙类比。

Which is, imagine you go into a museum and you see a beautiful painting on the wall.

那就是,想象一下你走进一家博物馆,然后你看到墙上有一幅美丽的画。

You can take a picture of that painting, but that picture isn’t worth anything, right?

你可以给那幅画拍张照片,但是那张照片不值钱,对吧?

You can buy a print in the gift shop, but that print isn’t really worth anything at all either.

你可以在礼品店买一幅印刷品,但那幅印刷品也根本不值什么钱。

The reason why the one on the wall is worth so much money is it’s the original.

墙上的那幅画之所以如此值钱,是因为它是原作。

The museum owns it, and they can prove both of those things.

该博物馆拥有它,并且他们可以证明这两件事。

So, to make Scott’s analogy, I could say, look, I could right-click and download a picture of Shaquille O’Neal, the basketball player and then try to pick up his checks from his endorsements.

所以,按照斯科特的类比,我可以说,看,我可以右键点击并下载篮球运动员沙奎尔·奥尼尔的照片,然后试图从他的代言中领取他的支票。

But they’re not probably going to give them to me unless I can verify that I am in fact Shaquille. And that’s how it is very similar.

但他们可能不会把它们给我,除非我能证明我实际上是沙奎尔。这就是它非常相似的地方。

You can take a picture of a Ferrari, but you can’t drive that Ferrari. It doesn’t give you the ability to do it. And it’s very similar, but in a digital sense.

你可以给一辆法拉利拍照,但你不能开那辆法拉利。它并没有给你这样做的能力。这在数字意义上是非常相似的。

And to Scott’s point, to use the digital clubhouse example, as a personal anecdote, I bought one of these digital monkeys or digital apes very early on, and through them I’ve actually met people in this decentralized network that have led to job opportunities, that have led to deal flow and various other things in my life that have actually led to new careers.

斯科特提到了数字俱乐部的例子,我也有个亲身经历。我很早就买了一只数字猴子或数字猿,通过它们,我在这个去中心化的网络中结识了一些人,这些人给我带来了工作机会,带来了交易机会,以及我生活中的其他各种事情,实际上还让我开启了新的职业生涯。

So, the value of getting into those spaces becomes higher based on that, and that drives up value on top of the other utilities that go along with it.

因此,基于此,进入这些空间的价值变得更高,这在与之相关的其他公用事业的基础上推高了价值。

Okay, so that leads to another question that I had, which is, so there are no yachts anywhere. Let’s just put that aside.

好的,这就引出了我的另一个问题,就是说,这里根本没有游艇。我们先把这个问题放一边。

But the idea of the Bored Ape Yacht Club is really, it’s a network of people who are interested in the same things.

但是无聊猿游艇俱乐部的理念实际上是,它是一个由对相同事物感兴趣的人组成的关系网。

They share experiences, as you said, they can help each other out in different ways.

他们分享经验,正如你所说,他们可以以不同的方式互相帮助。

What are some of the added benefits of being in the club, so to speak?

可以说,加入这个俱乐部有哪些额外的好处呢?

Hilariously, one of the early utilities was a yacht party that they threw in New York around Halloween of 2021, followed by… To give you an example, one of the first utilities, they had this surprise warehouse event where you thought that you were just going to get free food and drinks with your friends, which would’ve been enough for me, because the network of people are everybody spanning from people like myself who worked in marketing to people who were developers, to people who were celebrities, to people who were Jeopardy champions.

有趣的是,他们早期的一个实用程序是在2021年万圣节前后在纽约举办的一次游艇派对,随后……给你举个例子,他们的第一个实用程序之一是这个惊喜仓库活动,你以为你只是和朋友一起去那里享受免费的食物和饮料,这对我来说已经足够了,因为这里的人脉包括像我这样从事市场营销的人,有开发人员,有名人,还有《危险边缘》的冠军。

And so I just thought that was good enough. Well, we showed up and much to our surprise, again, this quote unquote “token gated thing.”

所以我觉得这就足够了。好吧,我们出现了,让我们再次感到惊讶的是,这个所谓的“令牌门控”的东西。

So, you had to prove ownership in order to get in.

所以,你必须证明所有权才能进入。

You couldn’t just show an image, they would scan and make sure it’s in your wallet.

你不能只展示一张图片,他们会扫描并确保它在你的钱包里。

All of a sudden we hear a voice and it is Chris Rock, the famous comedian giving a set followed by a performance by Beck, one of the big artists and Lil Baby, who was a popular artist, who was a little before my generation, but the kids sure seemed excited about him.

突然,我们听到一个声音,是著名喜剧演员克里斯·洛克在表演,随后是大艺术家贝克和流行艺术家利尔·巴比的表演,他比利尔·巴比早一点,但孩子们似乎对他很兴奋。

And so we saw these sort of things. And last year they had different LCD sound system and Eminem and Snoop Dogg and Future and all these other big performers.

我们看到了这些东西。去年他们有不同的液晶显示音响系统,还有埃米纳姆、史努比、Future等等其他大牌艺人。

And so these mega concerts they’ve thrown are events that you get access to again, with food and drinks and other benefits and merchandise and things that other people are unable to get.

所以,他们举办的这些大型音乐会是你可以再次参加的活动,有食物、饮料和其他福利,还有商品和其他人们无法得到的东西。

But again, for me, the value often comes in that network. And that’s where I’ve seen a lot of value.

但同样,对我来说,价值往往来自于那个网络。这就是我看到很多价值的地方。

It’s almost like when you’re in a country club and people join a country club, they pay tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars a years to join these things. And they’re limited geographically.

这就好像你在一个乡村俱乐部,人们加入一个乡村俱乐部,他们每年要支付数万美元、数十万美元来加入这些东西。而且他们在地理上是有限制的。

They’re probably not going to meet everybody. They’re probably golfing with the same 5 to 10 people on a regular basis, on a monthly basis for a period of time.

他们可能不会见到每个人。他们可能会定期地、每月地与相同的5到10个人一起打高尔夫球,持续一段时间。

If you join the Bored Ape Yacht Club, the people who come in and go who have access to these tokens are literally all around the world, every continent around the world, countries all around the world with various areas of expertise.

如果你加入无聊猿游艇俱乐部,那么能够接触到这些代币的人实际上来自世界各地,来自世界上的每个大陆,来自世界各地的国家,他们拥有不同的专业领域。
