Funny that one can login and claim a monkey, and customize its working environment. In an alternate universe where a version of you wants to make a buck, they'd sell "monkeycoins" that users can earn to get customizations for their monkey (like the fancy couch or a Macbook).

Did I say earn? I mean buy...

Glad you like it! I was considering taking some form of payment for some cosmetics, but it just felt out of character for me.

That was my first thought : "Oh NFT is still a thing in 2025". But no, it is really awesome.

And then someone would pay their drug supplier 60M for a monkey NFT
