OG收藏家pranksy是NFT空間中最多產的人物之一，但仍然是加密蛋糕最偉大的奧秘之一

惡作劇的爆炸使他的牙齒削減了他的牙齒，並迅速建立了一堆ETH，他不懈地將其倒入生態系統中，被稱為“薄荷之王”

Pranksy, one of the OG collectors and a key figure in popularizing Bored Ape Yacht Club, is still adding to his primary wallet, pranksy.eth, which now holds more than 45,000 NFTs with Avastars and CyberBrokers two of his biggest current holdings.

Pranksy是OG收藏家之一，也是普及無聊的APE遊艇俱樂部的關鍵人物，他仍在增加他的主要錢包Pranksy.eth，現在擁有超過45,000個NFT，擁有Avastars和Cyber​​brokers他目前最大的兩個持股。

Few names in NFTs carry as much weight as his, but ask him who Pranksy really is and the answer might surprise you.

NFT中的幾個名字的體重和他的重量一樣多，但是問他真是誰是誰，答案可能會讓您感到驚訝。

“Pranksy was an individual. In fact, the name ‘Pranksy’ was only adopted a few years into the world of NFTs, when the market started gaining interest in digital art,” Pranksy tells NFT Collector.

Pranksy告訴NFT Collector：“實際上，當市場開始對數字藝術引起人們的興趣時，'pranksy'這個名字僅在幾年內被採用。”

“Pranksy now represents a wonderfully diverse team of people; however, ‘Pranksy’ is still an individual voice, who runs his own social media, he just has help running NFTBoxes and our new shiny thing, the House of Pranksy.”

“現在，惡作劇代表了一個非常多樣化的人團隊；但是，'pranksy'仍然是一個個人的聲音，他經營著自己的社交媒體，他只是幫助運行NFTBoxes和我們的新閃亮的東西，即Pranksy的House。”

$600 in ETH started it all

600美元的ETH開始了這一切

Similar to the trajectory of other OG NFT collectors such as j1mmy.eth and Nate Alex, Pranksy first stumbled upon NFTs through CryptoKitties around the end of 2017. He had never even bought ETH at the time.

類似於其他OG NFT收藏家（例如J1MMY.ETH和NATE ALEX）的軌跡，pranksy在2017年底前後首次通過Cryptokitties偶然發現了NFT。當時他甚至從未購買過ETH。

“A friend told me via Slack that people were paying ridiculous amounts of money for pictures of cats on the internet, and you could breed those cats, and the rest is history,” Pranksy says.

Pranksy說：“一個朋友通過Slack告訴我，人們在互聯網上為貓的貓付出了荒謬的錢，您可以繁殖這些貓，其餘的就是歷史。”

“I bought around $600 of ETH to buy and mint those kittens, I never bought ETH again after this.”

“我購買了大約600美元的ETH購買和鑄造那些小貓，此後我再也沒有購買Eth。”

That moment led to years of collecting, experimenting and building up a huge stack of ETH in a space that most of the world hadn’t yet heard of. Long before 2021-22 NFT mania, Pranksy was stacking NFTs and making a name for himself among a tight-knit group of collectors, artists and project founders through 2017-2020.

那一刻導致了多年的收集，實驗和建立一大堆ETH，這是世界上大多數人尚未聽說的空間。早在2021 - 22年NFT狂熱之前，Pranksy一直在堆疊NFT，並在2017 - 2020年之前的一群收藏家，藝術家和項目創始人中為自己而聞名。

And the origin of the name “Pranksy”? “Before Pranksy, it was Pranked. I wanted to rebrand when minting my first piece of terrible artwork,” he says.

和“ pranksy”這個名字的起源？他說：“在惡作劇之前，它是惡作劇的。我想在鑄造我的第一件可怕藝術品時重塑品牌。”

BAYC Genesis: The mint and tweet that changed everything

Bayc Genesis：改變了一切的薄荷和推文

One of Pranksy’s most notable moments in his career as a top NFT whale started like any other mint.

像NFT頂級鯨魚的職業生涯中，Pranksy最著名的時刻之一一樣，就像其他任何薄荷一樣。

On 1 May 2021, he began his mint of 1,250 Bored Apes in a few batches. His initial mint of 250 was followed with a tweet, “No horrible FOMO pricing strategy, each Ape is .08 ETH, + they look great.” Within a few more hours, Pranksy ran his total up to 1,320 total Apes.

2021年5月1日，他分幾批開始了他的1,250個無聊的猿猴。他最初的250薄荷飾有一條推文：“沒有可怕的FOMO定價策略，每個猿的價格為.08 ETH， +它們看起來很棒。”在再過幾個小時之內，惡作劇的總猿類總數達到了1,320個。

Pranky’s multiple large mints and tweets, along with j1mmy.Eth’s sweep of 420 Apes led to the sell-out of all 10,000. At the time, no one, including Pranksy, could predict the trajectory BAYC was about to take.

惡作劇的多個大型薄荷糖和推文以及J1mmy.eth的420猿掃描導致了全部10,000的售罄。當時，沒有人，包括尖銳的人，都無法預測軌跡Bayc即將採取的軌跡。

“It wasn’t very different to many other mints, it was at a time when NFT projects didn’t sell out in seconds with a huge waitlist for minting. Nobody expected BAYC to be one of the greatest returns on initial investment in the history of finance.”

“這與許多其他造幣廠並沒有太大的不同，那時NFT項目在幾秒鐘內沒有售罄，而鑄造列表卻巨大。

He recalls interacting with his running mate, j1mmy.Eth and BAYC, “Passed the profile picture test.”

他回想起與跑步伴侶J1mmy.eth和Bayc互動，“通過了個人資料圖片測試”。

What followed was a historic run. A single Ape could eventually net a holder close to $1mil from a mint cost of 0.08 ETH (~$220), if they held their original BAYC and sold their airdrops: BAKC (June ’21), MAYC (Sep ’21), ApeCoin (Mar ’22), and Otherside Land (May ’22). The top coincided with the Otherdeed for Otherside mint at the end of April 2022, almost exactly one year after the mint.

隨之而來的是歷史性的跑步。如果他們持有原始的bayc並出售其空氣流量，則一隻猿最終可以從薄荷成本（約220美元）的造幣廠成本淨化接近100萬美元的持有人：BAKC（'21年6月），Mayc（9月21日），Apecoin（Mar '22）（Mar '22）等（Mar '22）等（其他地區）（2002年5月22日）。在2022年4月底，在造幣廠幾乎一年後，最高的與他人的另一個薄荷相吻合。

The eye-watering run-up of value for Bored Apes didn’t happen immediately. For the first month, Apes were still sitting below a 1 ETH floor price, and Pranksy was still sending large quantities of his collection to friends.

無聊的猿類價值的吸引人的價值沒有立即發生。在第一個月，猿類仍處於1級樓層價格以下，而Pranksy仍在向朋友發送大量收藏。

By the back half of 2021, Apes were becoming a cultural phenomenon and they were everywhere: Steph Curry, Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Jimmy Fallon, Madonna, Justin Bieber and many more. Everyone wanted a piece of the action.

到2021年的後半段，猿類已經成為一種文化現象，它們到處都是：斯蒂芬·庫裡（Steph Curry），史努比·杜格（Snoop Dogg），帕里斯·希爾頓（Paris Hilton），吉米·法倫（Jimmy Fallon），麥當娜（Madonna），賈斯汀·比伯（Justin Bieber）等。每個人都想要一件動作。

Pranksy ended up doing deals with some of the world’s most famous people and sports stars, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Tinie Tempah to NBA star Josh Hart, who’s currently playing in the NBA playoffs.

Pranksy最終與世界上一些最著名的人和體育明星進行了交易，從Gwyneth Paltrow到Tinie Tempah再到NBA明星Josh Hart，後者目前正在NBA季后賽中踢球。
