It’s crazy that Nickelodeon / Adult Swim / Cartoon Network (and other brands / content owners) don’t realize that if they spend $100k to buy a Bored Ape or $50k to buy a Gutter Cat - they own all the commercial rights and start making content and merch with it tomorrow.

This will be one of the most fascinating studies in retail over the next year. The stock is up nearly 300% since the announcement of the partnership in July 2020. People will actually purchase this.
