because you cat he own cat he speak cat

First impression watching this video..
1. Wow, so this is the guy behind the Nyan Cat Meme..
2. What a cute cat Meme..
3. Nooooo.. Marty.... Rest in Peace, Buddy!
I don't expecting that's gonna be so sad..
Ah i see your a man of culture as well, Zura.
Why can't I have a sudden Eureka moment like this? Neither blessed in art nor in science 😭
because you have a better chance buying a bunch of lottery tickets each week.
Because you don't put effort and expect things to fall on your lap without deserving

This might be the only NFT I respect. It's got a good reason to, as well as actually being good art unlike those monkeys or lions
Yeah..
still not worth half a mil dollars
@@youcefraven most nfts arent even worth a single dollar, honestly this nft stuff just seems to be a scam. and this, yeah this is worth more than most nfts, it is actual art, but its still not really on the level of bob ross for example, and even he sold his paintings for a couple thousand dollars, not even close to half a million.
@@yoro__33 the value of Bob Ross's art didn't come until after his death.. now they're priceless because the estate has made it next to impossible to buy one. if they did come up for sale I'm sure some of them could easily fetch half a million.
@@yoro__33 Yeah NFT's are scam, but it's not like they are the only trash sold for millions. Have you seen modern "art" lmao that garbage sells for 10 times as much.
It’s inspired me so much, I even made a PowerPoint game at school based on Nyan Cat!
Damn!

it's hilarious that he was able to cash in on the NFT trend so big.
As an artist myself I confirm that you should never resist the urge to create something if you wake up with an enlightenment when it's midnight. It is 100% going to be something you will be proud of
I find it fascinating how all of the memes we know, love and used have these stories behind them like I never took the time to try and find more about them, good job!
It’s more the old memes that were like that. You don’t see many memes with inspiring stories behind them anymore.
R.I.P Marty.
In 2010 a legend sure was born. Now it comes to an end. I'll miss you Marty.
Wow I had no idea Nyan cat was still a thing today. Haven't heard or thought about it in probably 5 years or so
Same tbh
What do you mean you didn’t thing it was a thing today? Do you think things on the internet just suddenly disappear
@@stopholdingnuts Obviously I was saying I had no idea Nyan cat was relevant today. I'm pretty sure it's not, so seeing a video about it now is just strange. Welcome to the internet btw! Hopefully you pick up on internet slang more easily moving forward.
@@Flareboxx Well I guess that’s what happens when you have a life outside of the internet..
@@stopholdingnuts I'd beg to differ that means you don't have a life, otherwise you would have heard this slang from other human beings... But either way, glad this was a teachable moment.
its impressive a fundraiser became a meme though
Marty, you're immortal now! You'll always have a place in our hearts! ❤️🌈🐱
Why did it have to become an NFT but also of course it did
RIP Marty. Never knew nyan cat was based off of an actual cat.
Fun Fact: The Nyan Cat theme was created by a VOCALOID Producer named *daniwell-P*
The Original Nyan Cat song was first sung by *Hatsune Miku* and then the most known Nyan Cat song was sung by an UTAU called *Momone Momo*
That's all! Thank you for reading!
crazy to see momone momo of all things make it to the "internet mainstream", people outside of the vocaloid/utau community really only know miku but to have an utau that's not even teto make its way outside to other people is pretty crazy
you should also add that Momo's version was made by ももももP, and that saraj00n combined the music and the gif.
@@leave-a-comment-at-the-door yeah i forgot about that one thanks btw
you could also mention that prguitarman(Chris in the video) has used his power of copyright to forcibly take down the original source of the meme, instead of letting it be like slackcircus did for HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA even though slackcircus put signifigantly more effort into the original work that HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA came from and and prguitarman only made the animation for Nyan Cat
@@leave-a-comment-at-the-door Oooh i didn't know abt that thanks btw
Can you imagine if he never woke up to create it ? He’s rich now because of it
well thats's life
That’s so crazy he dreamed that and that’s how he got the idea. I loved that rainbow powered, pixel poptart cat the first time I saw it. Not just cause it’s funny but I actually really aesthetically loved it too.
Dreams literally change your life. Lots of artists, authors and musicians and so on dream up their eureka moment that change their lives, sometimes the worlf
This is so ironic considering. this guy talks about how worried he was about the environment and then now works for NFTs which hurt the environment.
OMEGALUL
PoS. Ever heard of it?
It depends on the technology used. There are climate neutral blockchains.
@@OfficialCANVAS Piece of S--t? Sure I heard of it.
Not all but most yeah.
He deserves the revenue for the art that he created and so does all the other memers out there. It's not a bad thing for them to make a little on the side from something that we genuinely enjoy.
but he's not the one who made the meme. in fact, he used his power of copyright on the art to get the meme taken down; Nyan Cat really came from saraj00n combining ももももP's cover of daniwell-P's song with the art prguitarman made.
This made me cry its very hard to lose your pet or should i say a man’s best friend but they will always be in our hearts forever, they’ll be flying in rainbows thats were all of our animal friends go when they already passed away the’yll be all watching us up there
So NFTs used to be way better than what they are now? Damn
Yeah lol that’s when artists had their own market, now it’s overfilled with fake NFTs and pump-n-dumps that over shadow the real work
@@Nick_Tank yeah like the 69 millon dolar NFT. Now it was cheap garbage computer generated scam
yes
It’s still a great market if you know where to look
They used to appear better.
im acually in tears now knowing nyan cat is base on a real life cat and that cat is my part of childhood R.I.P Marty
R.I.P Marty, will always be the best meme cat
imagine if he just sued everyone.
Bro the last minute broke me...
Ayyeee that's may pfp. I love this meme tho. Sad to hear that Marty passed away long ago. RIP
I remember listening/watching Nyan cat when I was 6 years old, when my mom's brother told me about it.
All jokes aside, this is actually quite sad. RIP Marty you will always be remembered.
this went from exciting to sad in a minute :((
Rest in piece marty
Making over 700 NFT's....
He's really trying to milk the nyan cat meme by the use of NFT's
good for him
Well I mean 99% of NFT are Fcking trash but I would say the Nyan cat have my approval.
@@stinkybear2293 all crypto and NFT are worse than cars for the environment.
@@ShadowFri3nd i agree this is the only nft i respect
There’s an estimated 1 million dogs in the U.S. have been named primary beneficiary in their owners' wills, and I can’t even get a date smh
More people in the u.s. have tape worms than people own dogs
Tay Zonday, I swear to god, please don’t sell Chocolate Rain.
Racist
This guy still owns Nyan cat. He sold an NFT not the rights.
He already made a tweet about NFT but deleted it smh
NFTS are really bad for the environment and are essentially a money laundering scheme.
@@rpghorrorfan879 what?? How?
Marty passed away but his legacy lives on ❤️
Cheers also to daniwellP for composing "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!"
mhm i sadly don't see most people remembering DaniwellP even though he was the one who made the song!
I was only 4 when this came out, I had still vibed for years and I always will
bro sold nyan cat nft? yikes, ruined it ngl.
R.I.P Marty
R.I.P grumpy cat
The 2 best cats in history
“I hope that nyan cat still have a place 10 years from now” man doesn’t even know that nyan cat is and always has been like glitter, impossible to get rid of
*i hope you rest well marty* this made my tear up
Omg how precious Marty was, RIP! This video should have more views honestly.
I watch Nyan cat every day and I absolutely love it it looks like nyan is not even a word
🏳️🌈🌈🦄
I've had two cats pass from FIP -- one at age two, and one when she was just a kitten. It's a horrifying disease that has no cure... here's hoping one can be found someday. Love you, Marty.
So... the cat I've been obsessed with for the last few days was based on real cat. Fascinating. Thank you for doing so much good
I love that he helped others to sell their NFTs
When i see him trying so hard to hold his sadness at the end. Im the one who's now crying, RIP marty
Aw man I’m crying from that ending fudge man
Nyan cat deserves to have games a series and a full movie due to how amazing it is that it's came this far and is still loved
R.I.P marty. You were the best pastry cat in space who ever lived, your legacy and history will be remembered💜💜💜
Kudos to helping the other meme people too❤️
"breakfast pastry" i bet they told him he can't say poptart. Nobody calls poptarts "breakfast pastry"
I didn't expect this to be so heartwarming
rest in peace marty🙏
thank you for creating my favourite meme♥️
I really like the nyan cat gif but like it's pointless to make it a nft because you can literally download the video easily
Its lowkey been awhile hearing about nyan cat, rewatched it weeks ago. Never know id be happy by the start and be sad by the end. R.I.P Marty, Your Legacy will be remembered forever
And now im crying, thanks buzzfeed
"Your dreams become reality" has taken on a whole new meaning with this one. It's crazy seeing the OG drawing of the Nyan cat, like it's actually kind of surreal to see how this guy just dreamt about it and then it came to life how it did.
I love the meme and the cat is gorgeous
There’s gotta be a group chat of the people who were in famous memes
Always been my fav meme, I love it more now and show respect for Marty, R.I.P and enjoy zooming around in space 🥺
Rip Marty 😥 he will always be remembered
It's so cool to see all the old meme makers unite. Even if it's just NFTs
I love that he says they can see him in space flying around
This one is amazing. RIP Marty 😢
Marty will live on in space and in our hearts 🌈
he missed the chance to call his nft's nyan fungible tokens
When i starting use this as my profile pic, my friend ask me if i am gay, because of that rainbow
Lol
Me: I just like rainbows

Amazing a video about a cat from 13 yrs ago will bring you tears !! :(
R.I.P marty. u will always have a place in our hearts.
Isn’t it crazy how much money you can make with digital content? Gotta love how far the internet has come 😀

this MEME changed the internet for me ill never forget it. RIP MARTY 🐱🌈
Nyan cat has always been my favourite meme. I actually listened to it for 10 hours straight once. And now that Ik the backstory it means a lot more
Marty was a amazing cat, i will never forget him. And nyan cat still lives in my heart to this day too!
It's nice to know the original creator was actually able to profit from it.
calling this one guy the original creator is leaving way too much out; rather than prguitarman I'd say saraj00n should get more credit as 'original creator' as they are the one who really made the video. this guy just made the art, and the music came from ももももP's UTAU cover of daniwell-P's song.
Did you know: Until 2016, the “Happy Birthday” song was not for public use. Meaning, prior to 2016, the song was copyrighted and you had to pay a license to use it.
Well...I sang it everywhere and never paid a buck. I don't consider myself a hero but I'm somewhat of a villain in my own anime story
That's not true. I don't know where people got this idea but it's not true
R.I.P Marty thankyou for the smiles. I hope you are dashing around the galaxy. At full speed, on one epic adventure ❤
Marty will forever live in ALL our hearts.
Stay safe in space Nyan Cat...
Came to laugh at a meme, ended up bawling
I never knew it had this big of a meaning behind it... Rip marty, i can see the rainbows already and hear Nyan nyan nyan nyan
I had this idea - it was midnight - and I went down and drew it! Bless your artist ❤️.
R.I.P. Marty you will always be remembered by all of us in our hearts
A TV SHOW?!?!? I would LOVE to watch a TV show about the meme that changed the world.
We miss you marty
Favorite one by far. RIP Marty ❤💜
Bro when the game first came out I swear that it made me love pop tarts a lot more for some reason it stuck with me all throughout my middle school yrs I love the legacy of Marty😭
why am i crying
rip Marty
Hope he met a lot of friends like Reggie, Tom and Mia
NOW THIS is truly amazing😻
Rest well marty
Thanks for bringing fun in my childhood
