There have only ever been 2 problems with $APE. First, it was created as a token for a DAO that was incestuous and corrupt and only funded sycophants and leeches who did nothing to grow $APE - but drained the token value. Second, it was marketed as the currency for The Otherside - which has still never launched and has not been delivered after more than two years of broken promises and empty hype X posts. Fix those two things and you fix $APE
No one converted or expanded because Yuga never delivered on the promise of giving us our own metaverse lands to build on and experience. Hvmtl. Maras. LOTM- all given away to a partner. Then yuga started giving us Project Dragon. When Yuga delivers on the original promise of Otherside, people will care. Until then, Otherside is AnOtherYugaRug.
@AlexiLalas You had me until "Dooley better than McKenzie". I think you were talking "skill", here, however. That said, the 90's was a time when the US competed with heart and physicality. This generation lacks both. This gen is the product of "pay to play" camps and club teams.
@apaley Bullish that people are taking the time to have meaningful dialogues with Faraway vs FUDing Faraway on X. What @farawaygg is doing is furthering Otherside lore , story, and adding value to current and past @yugalabsgaming assets. Thank you!
@HollanderAdam@apaley@farawaygg Honestly, super glad you took the time and energy to learn more about what Faraway Gaming is doing. And, no, you shouldn’t buy more. The rest of us are trying to accumulate :) jk. Join us! You CAN love @yugalabs and love @farawaygg . It’s a Thing! :)
@bailey_tattoo@CryptoGarga Irony: when @CryptoGarga complains that @farawaygg lands look like Otherdeeds, but he can be “delighted” that his Project Dragon mockups are 23 year old ripoffs off a Halo game gun.
@HollanderAdam You gotta check your Ego, bro. Yuga Otherdeeds have NO utility outside of Faraway. You should be thankful that @farawaygg gives your Otherdeed ANY utility. Take up your FUD with Yuga and Garga. Yuga promises. Faraway delivers.

@yugalabs@cryptopunks@ninachanel Trash. Sorry. Not sorry. Nothing new here. Rotating 2.5d Roblox art. Says nothing about culture or human experience that hasn’t been said 1000 times already. Nothing profound or playful.
The issue here is that, for years, 10KTF ran with its own story, lore, marketplace, and utility - all focused on its own (loose) 10K Vision. Now, 10KTF has to retrofit into a Yuga ecosystem and play nicely with other collections and Yuga plans. Otherside requires 3d for inclusion; the Grailed art is far too complex for rigging in Otherside. There's no hunting / farming / enchanting "abilities" that map to LOTM. 10KTF Grailed is nice art that appeals to a limited audience - with NO Yuga ecosystem integration. There is no current utility - only Past Promises. Floor goes lower until the teams get aligned at Yuga. 1OK prides itself on doing its own thing. This is the result.
What are YOUR Success Criteria for @OthersideMeta / The Otherside?
Here’s my Five Measures for a Social Metaverse … that will Moon:
1. Passive Earning: staking $ape / tokens to metaverse lands for resources or token yield earning. Holding is earning.
2. Active Earning: Mini-Gaming / Integrated Gaming Ecosystem - exchanging human time for metaverse resources or token yield. Playing is earning.
3. Community / Social Experiences in Meta: replace Discord / Telegram apps. Enable in-meta Community Connections. Engaging is earning.
4. Media Streaming Platform / Meta Events: Meta- exclusive concerts, movies, and digital content. Broadcast in meta. Watch / Subscribe in meta. Every land can earn a Screen. Creators earn.
5. Creator / Builder Toolkits: enable Community to build its own experiences, games, and digital properties. Builders earn.
Future 4:
6. Digital Bricks: Meta e-Commerce Storefronts. Metaverse funded by % / storefront / transaction fees.
7. Digital Identity Portals / Mapping: Connect with friends, fam, professional colleagues, and others with similar interests - based on Visitor Roles.
8. Digital Billboards. Metaverse funded by Brands and Advertising.
9. Integrated AI: let my koda roam with my kodamara with my apes on my deeds harvesting my resources while I’m gone. Let my hv-mtl defend my lands. Use AI to bring my assets to life. Harvest functions. Hunt functions. Defend functions.
