BAYC #1973 🦧 baykada

[figge @mfigge]

Today we're making changes to ApeCoin.

Yuga Labs and ApeCo (fka Ape Foundation) coordinate, but operate in parallel. To keep the orgs and leaders in sync, a coordination tax is paid in additional handoffs and added decision-making checkpoints.

This made sense when the lack of regulatory clarity forced crypto to contort into strange formations just to ship.

That era is over, and we need to reset from first principles.

Simpler, with less coordination tax.

Cam helped build and lead ApeCo, and he’s fully aligned with me on this reboot. With the reset, the separate ApeCo lead role no longer makes sense in the same way. Cam is stepping down from that role.

The core ApeChain tech and BD teams will now work directly with Yuga, so the chain and its partners will be well served. Some other members of ApeCo will be departing - they’re really great people and we’re thankful for their hard work. This transition will be complete by June 5th.

ApeCoin should not feel like a separate bet from all the other progress Yuga is making with its brands. Everywhere else we are building holders with real conviction and ApeCoin will be no different.

So I’m currently planning a roadshow in June with key and prospective partners, exchanges, investors, institutions and community members in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei and Seoul. We’re going to show up in person and build the relationships that move BAYC, Otherside, and ApeCoin forward together.

This is a first step, but not the only step.

big news

[figge @mfigge]

Over the past few years, I’ve woken up to random @CoinDesk articles shitting on our industry, and specifically NFTs.

That alone wouldn't bother me. Criticism is healthy. The press should hold this space accountable.

But while Coindesk takes $ 300k+ to write glowing “research” around companies in crypto, they also write ragebait headlines that shit on the same industry.

Pretty annoying to see.

It’s bad journalism to ask for $ 300k+ for an article, and if we don’t pay, you write negatively about us.

There are so many other news outlets actually trying to make it by covering bright stories in our industry.

There are so many other twitter spaces and communities that show up daily to move the space forward.

But what Coindesk is doing can’t be a sustainable model.

So a few weeks ago I opened up a short position on Coindesk’s parent company, Bullish.

This isn’t about money, it’s about principle.

The principle: you can’t hurt our community for your corporate gain.

Why can a business shit on an industry it participates in and still aim to profit within it?

Well, it can’t.

That was my bet anyway.

I’ve now closed the short up $5,387.46.

To be clear: the position is closed. Nothing I write here profits me from a trading standpoint. The trade is over. What's left is the principle.

I will use the money to take Bored Apes out to dinners, or Laker Games, or whatever the fuck I want - and every time I do, I will post an entire article about how I got the money (shorting Coindesk) and why I think Coindesk’s current approach is bad for our industry.

Congrats Coindesk, you’re now at war with a fucking psycho.

I will relentlessly bearpost this behavior until a representative reaches out to me and assures me that they’re going to knock this shit off.

[Bored Ape Yacht Club 🍌 @BoredApeYC]

Five Years of Bored Ape Yacht Club

A note to The Best Club on the Internet,

Five years is a long time on the internet. It’s long enough to understand what makes something different, and to recognize when it becomes part of people’s lives in a real way.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club has always been more than something you scroll past. It’s something people step into, build with, and carry with them. That’s what makes this a Club.

Like @mfigge said recently, the Club should live in your world, not just your timeline. That's where we're headed.

Here's what that looks like right now.

We recently rolled out the new https://t.co/tUg19gLtIK - a fresh look, member profiles and directory, an updated https://t.co/7wvilrJ2GQ, and more coming soon. It’s a step toward making the Club feel more tangible, more connected, and easier to immerse in.

IRL is the Alpha

Over the last few weeks, Apes have been mobilizing across the globe through regional meetups, bringing local chapters together in ways that actually matter.

We spent 4/20 weekend with Snoop and Dr. Bombay, giving a group of Apes a member-only moment you can’t replicate online.

These moments pull people closer together, create and strengthen real bonds, and push the energy of the Club forward.

We say Bored Ape, You say Yacht Club

We’ve also been thinking about what it actually means to be a Yacht Club - not just the name, but the feeling behind it. That’s starting to take shape. From here on out, you’ll see it show up more clearly in our apparel, our collaborations, and an aesthetic that finally does the Yacht Club name justice.

Five years in, and we’re not slowing down.

There’s more to share, but for now… thanks for being an Ape. Thanks for being in the Club.

[JBond @jbondwagon]

the concept here is simple:

create a market for grails

why? because most grails aren’t for sale in the market

let’s take BAYC for example

only 263 BAYC are listed (2.63% of the collection)

if someone wants ape grails, chances are they’re not in the market

on the flip side, ape grails are sitting on some whale wallets and they are likely not pricing them anywhere close to floor

with this move, you now create a way to broker apes that aren’t in the market to new collectors wanting to enter the club

this will make certain collections from BAYC be in demand such as:
- gold
- trippy
- blue beams
- laser eyes
- crown
- space suit
- merch

on top of these, I can see that this move will create a market for full sets as these are harder to sell in marketplaces

and of course, by doing this, yuga creates a new revenue stream for them by brokering these deals

a win for everyone

make grails great again
