TL;DR
A student was ridiculed and had an apple thrown at them in class after defending NFTs and explaining their real-world utility.
The incident started when a teacher browsed OpenSea and a classmate dismissed BAYC NFTs as overpriced monkey pictures.
The viral post became a meme, with the online community mostly laughing at the situation rather than sympathizing.
Student Mocked at School for Defending NFTs
A now-viral post is making rounds in the crypto community — a student claims they were ridiculed, and even had an apple thrown at the back of their head, simply for defending NFTs in class.
How the NFT Debate Started in Class
During a lesson, the teacher brought up crypto, which led to a discussion about NFTs. When the class pulled up OpenSea and looked at Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), a classmate remarked, “Aren’t those the monkey pictures people paid $100,000 for?”
The student fired back: “It’s not just a JPEG — it’s a non-fungible token (NFT). It’s more than a picture. It’s a community with real-world utility.”
Bullied for Supporting NFTs — Apple Thrown at Head
That response triggered an immediate pile-on from classmates. As the student continued defending NFTs, someone threw an apple at the back of their head. The student reportedly wrote the post while crying in the school bathroom, stating: “This is not okay. I shouldn’t be treated like this just for buying NFTs.”
The Internet’s Reaction: NFT Jokes Write Themselves
Of course, the crypto and NFT community online had a field day. The overwhelming response? Pure laughter. As one commenter put it: “NFTs are only funny when something happens to them.” The post has since become a meme of its own — perhaps the most on-brand NFT moment of the year.
