people absolutely hate this tweet maybe I should start saying "retrospective" instead of "post-mortem" since they still live on but I think archiving information after a launch is very important
Manchester City just posted a Pudgy Penguins collab video to their 56M Instagram followers.
For a lot of football fans, this might be their first time seeing Pudgy.
That’s how IP spreads.
Through culture. Billions will huddle 🐧
it’s been a month since announcing my transition to ceo at yuga
the team has done great work over the last 30 days

Something unusual is happening around @token_works 👀
They created a protocol called “Ten Thousand Tokens” and the mechanics behind it are wild.
• Only 10,000 NFTs can ever exist
• Each NFT can be burned ONE time
• Burning it lets you launch your own ERC20 token
• Every launched token sends part of its trading fees back to holders who DIDN’T burn yet
So the system creates this constant tension:
Launch your own token now…
or keep your NFT and collect from everyone else launching.
And the more NFTs get burned, the bigger the remaining holders’ share becomes.
10,000 NFTs alive = 0.003% each
10 NFTs alive = 3% each
1 NFT alive = 30% of the entire holder pool 🤯
The protocol basically turns token launches into a psychological and economic strategy game.
Meanwhile volume is exploding already and this thing is moving FAST.
there are only 46 gold apes
and at this point, it’s very difficult to find an off-market seller willing trade
the lowest listed gold ape is 199 eth ($460k) which is effectively double before @GrailsOTC started 3 weeks ago
bids are rising
but sellers are not budging
digital assets like these have rotated into significantly more diamondhanded positions
for gold apes, not only are sellers not budging
they pretty much don’t exist
we are still working through trippies, 4Ts, blacksuits, admirals coats, kings robes, pimp coats, etc
but overall our goal has been to help facilitate even more off-market inventory rotating into strong collectors
subjective trait-based requests are being facilitated
completionists are trading for full sets
minimalists are trading for clean apes
aesthetics are in control
this is important work because it applies momentum to a quality that is hard to quantify:
collector strength
paired with our progress on IRL events, I firmly believe the sustained pressure we are applying will yield the results everyone is after - a strong Club
on a related note, while the bayc website is deliberately minimal and opaque to the public, we are experimenting with a deeper experience in the members section
there are also other strategies, which i will go over this week, that I believe to be under engaged, but full of potential for the

MAWWWNINNN NEIGHBAA!! imagine we waking up in Port of Spain to jump in the savannah for a Kes on the rocks🇹🇹and ending the day in Kingston, JA🇯🇲😮💨i'd say the Caribbean is having a moment but as always we ARE the moment🗣️🗣️🗣️happy friday as always my good people we outside🙌🏾🤞🏾
BAYC floor price showing strong resilience. Dips are being bought. No mass selling. I've been bearish for 4 years because the bounce backs were obviously fake. But this time it feels different. Streamers fading. No KOL paid promos. Everybody sidelined. Perfect storm for NFT meta.
