As you may have heard, we’ve become the target of a crazy disinformation campaign accusing us - a group of Jewish, Turkish, Pakistani, and Cuban friends - of being super-secret Nazis. 🧵
Let's gooo! Pumped to be supporting @nonfungibletara and the whole @usecocreate team in helping NFT projects go beyond the drop -- empowering them to grow & engage their communities with a full suite of web3 tooling.
1/ @animocabrands has proposed AIPs 4 & 5, these are live on Discourse for viewing. AIP 4 covers a novel staking mechanism to reward @apecoin and BAYC ecosystem NFT holders. AIP 5 proposes the size of the staking liquidity pools – 17.5% of the total token allocation over 3 years
@ryder_ripps@TheCoolCatNFTs@BoredApeYC@yugalabs That’s a pretty absolutist take — “if anon, trust nothing”. I’m just looking at the evidence and saying the most logical / reasonable / rational conclusion is that these guys aren’t neo-nazis…
@ryder_ripps@TheCoolCatNFTs@BoredApeYC@yugalabs You think white supremacists would be cool with posing to journos as non-white / Jewish?
I read this and… they are exactly who they say. Baffled that someone would read their words and think “these guys are definitely nazis”. Strikes me as willful / self-interested ignorance.
@TheCoolCatNFTs@BoredApeYC@yugalabs I’m not talking data, I’m talking tactics. This would be a very dumb (and very very unlikely) thing for them to say if they were secret racists / neo-nazis / white supremacists.
5. How did the founders meet?
We're all real-life friends with diverse backgrounds - Jewish, Cuban, Turkish, Pakistani. We started work on what would become the BAYC in February of 2021, and worked with a team of artists on the apes, the look of the club, logos, etc.
