Introducing Bored Ape Studios, a joint venture between @YugaLabs and @machibigbrother’s Six Studios.
Our first project: Bored Ape Yacht Club, the animated series.
From the swamp to the screen. 🦍 🎬
Fill your cup with $SERUM and participate in a new breed of DAO.
Climb the Ranks, raise your Reputation to gain influence, and further the expansion of the MAYC and MCW.
One $SERUM is a voice and a vote. @serumcorp is hereby established, and the next chapter begins.
You absolutely love to see it. I’m so tired of founders not prioritizing wealth in their entrepreneurial journeys, and I’m so tired of investors pretending it doesn’t matter.
“Why are you building?”
“To get rich” should be one of the chief reasons.
Every single founder I’ve ever met who was obsessively working to make themselves and their investors rich has done better than the “let’s make the world a better place” founders. You can be missionary while also being driven by value creation. You absolutely should never be missionary only with no view on creating value for yourself or others.
Appreciate Kaia for the unabashed honesty here.
$SERUM is live. BY THE WAY: this token is for everyone that cares about NFTs. You’ll see why real soon.
Whether you’re an ape, a pengu, a birb, or a punk; you want NFTs to win, and so do we.
Serum is the fuel.
Today’s a special day in the @BoredApeYC. The @mutant_cartel, the largest and longest-standing community in the Club is taking a major step forward.
What started as a fun idea between a couple of Internet friends became a web3 native universe full of builders, powerful IP, and some of the best people in this god damn space.
With today’s TGE of @serum_dao, the ecosystem expands and reaffirms its commitment to growing the best club in web3. However, the real work is only starting now — it will be up to token holders and the rest of the ecosystem to define the steps of the Serum DAO.
Big thank you to the @novel_labs team, the SERUM steering committee, and the incredible community of Apes, Hounds, and Cartel members.
It’s NFT szn. Let’s build.
I honestly don’t know where to begin with this.
You never think it’ll happen to you.. until it does.
Last night, I lost a significant amount of assets across both warm and cold wallets, spanning several blockchains. All my private keys were stored the old-school way: handwritten, tucked inside a fireproof document bag. My CEX funds are untouched, though I didn’t keep much there. Once I have a clearer understanding of what actually happened, I’ll share more details.
The NFTs I lost make up only a small part of the total damage, but they carry the deepest sentimental weight. Years of IP building, countless artworks created... and more than that, this space gave me a chosen family. That part, thankfully, can’t be taken from me.
The amount of love and support I’ve received from @CryptoGarga, @BoredApeYC, @mutant_cartel, my @JustMoneyIO crew, @boringsecurity, and so many others has left me completely humbled. I don’t even have the words to express how deeply that means to me. I’ve never felt that kind of collective care and strength before outside of web3, and it reminded me why this space - and the people in it matter SO much.
Truthfully, last night I was ready to say “fuck it,” cancel Apefest, and say "that's it". When I lost my younger brother two years ago - the person I built everything in web3 with - I also didn’t know if I could keep going. Yesterday, I found myself at that point again.
But the kindness and encouragement I’ve received reminded me that I’m not alone, I’ve made it through storms before, and I’ll do it again. I just need a bit of time to breathe, to find my footing again.
I’m deeply grateful - and I’m not leaving. Love you all
I just had all my assets drained cross both TVM and EVM chains, including my Ape. Stay vigilant, be careful with your assets!
I've been in this space for 9, almost 10 years, all my hard work gone in a blink of an eye.
Interesting story to watch in web3 right now:
- @LineTheValkyrie got hacked and lost all her assets, among those some prized NFTs.
- @CryptoGarga buys her ape right away to return it
- @mutant_cartel bands together to recover all of her other prized assets.
Good people here.
