Got myself a forever #BAYC and officially rejoining the @BoredApeYC circle.
This one is me. If you know, you know 😉
Been eyeing it since the day it first got listed — some things you don’t rush.
Big shoutout to @99theth and @TheDonDiablo777 for the push and motivation, and respect to @glockwithdot for working out a solid deal on this beauty. 🤝
Guys… lately I’ve been seeing some spicy sarcastic posts about being a “2021 OG Ape” after @mfigge mentioned benefits and priorities for long-time holders getting that limited edition cigar box 🥃📦😂
Now, I’m not some Web3 professor with laser eyes and 47 wallets… but I did run a pretty large organization back in the day and now run my own company, so let me give you a real-life perspective most people won’t mention 👀
In business, I’m actually almost NEVER worried about my OG employees leaving. I appreciate them, reward them, and trust them… but my real retention concern is usually the newer talent 🧠⚡
Why? Because the new blood brings:
• fresh ideas 💡
• new energy ⚡
• different connections 🤝
• different mindset 🔥
Meanwhile the OGs are usually chillin’, comfortable, and not rage quitting over a free lunch coupon 😂
Of course OG employees often get better perks, bonuses, packages, and priority treatment — kinda like the cigar box thing 🥃📦 — because loyalty matters. But there’s also a fine line between rewarding loyalty and accidentally making newer people feel like they joined the party after all the pizza was gone 🍕😭
And honestly… from a psychological perspective, Web3 communities aren’t THAT different.
Yes, newer holders weren’t here 5 years ago. True.
But also… newer holders didn’t mint a BAYC for peanuts and watch it do a casual 100 ETH moon mission either 🚀🐒💰
Some OGs are sitting on life-changing profits since mint while some newer holders are holding stronger through losses than OGs ever had to 😅
So maybe being “OG” shouldn’t automatically come with a superiority complex or acting like newer holders are tourists at the club 🤷♂️
At the end of the day, both OGs and new holders matter. One built the culture… the other keeps it alive 🫡🔥

one of my fav things is to find out about what people in bayc do outside of web3 (or before going here full time)
mentioned on spaces that the company i founded 16 yrs ago does creative/digital art for live events
here's a pic from Phish at Sphere which they just worked on. banger imo
thinking of sharing past work i did in esports in shanghai, beijing, and seoul ahead of this apac trip

Guys hear me out. Collections like @R3ORDR By @Dario_Desiena are great and I wanted to mint one but let me tell you why I didn’t mint or get any in secondary.
When you own NFTs like #BAYC you don’t go around asking people to white list you for their collection. If they are smart they WL collectors who care. So I had no WL and couldn’t mint. Then I was like maybe I mint on public and this guy suddenly added a “Special FCFS” phase which basically became a “special bot only phase” that minted half of the collection. So bots ended up minting half of the collection exclusively when public waited for the left over which was nothing and was gone is seconds.
That’s how you piss off people really. I couldn’t mint and then I decided not to also buy from secondary a collection like this.
Also should an art collection really need to be this big with almost 7000 supply while they also look a lot like each other? I am not an artist so forgive my ignorance but I look at these and I am like ok which one is good and why.
Moreover I don’t see the art as new. Kind of similar to his last NFT launched and also not very unique art.
I saw and see this mint as money grab and happy I don’t have any. Hence look at the floor price. Again this is my personal idea and you can have yours. Cheers

Minted @InkgeneticsNFT
With 200 supply and this much interest in the collection I wouldn’t be surprised if floor get above 1ETH. Let’s see. GTD sold out in less than a minute.
If you’ve been a member since before February 2026, please be patient with me. I’m still learning advanced skills like buying tops, panic selling bottoms, and pretending I understand the market 😔🙏
You OGs are built different. Some of you survived 14 bear markets, 92 rug pulls, and still type “gm” every morning. Respect.
I hope one day I can reach your level of wisdom and emotional damage 🤝
🤣🤣🤣
If you are not a club member since may 2021 don't @ me or share your opinion on my wall. I don't care what you have to say. Reality is you need to Work harder, move out of your moms basement, stack eth/sol, go back in time to buy some apes in may 2021 then share your opinion.
