## Origin
Official Fake Rares began as a bit of a joke. Rare Scrilla, a prolific Rare Pepe artist and serial troller… knowingly violated the rules by posting a fake rare in the official Rare Pepe telegram group… and was banned… so naturally, he spun up BEWARE OF FAKE RARES to provide a “safe space” for sharing fakes. This infamous fake rare became the “proof of ban” card, building the early membership for Fake Rares. After air-dropping FAKEASF to the first 100 members, Fake Rares caught fire as a place to do hoodrat shit with your friends. It has since become a thriving ecosystem of artists, collectors and enthusiasts who are interested in bitcoin-native NFTs and have a deep appreciation for this homage to Rare Pepe.
