Well let me be honest or whatever you wanna call …. But I won’t pay more than $40 for a $40 hat simple that probably cost $5 to make.
This dropped when I was in meeting and by the time I was out sold out. Why? Because opportunistic friends buy more than what they need to sell for $50 or $100 or whatever $ profit. We should be better than that as community instead of trying to screw each other.
Why didn’t you guys make enough for all Yuga holders to be able to buy one? That’s probably $35 profit per hat for you guys. I won’t spend a $ more not because of that extra $ but because of respecting myself. Thanks @mfigge

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

Pull up a chair.
A new emote just landed in @othersidemeta.
If you hold a BAYC or MAYC, it’s live now - head to your profile, open the Avatar tab, and add it to your emote wheel.

update
the president of @CoinDesk, @jyarow, just gave me a call and we talked through the issues
to reiterate my points:
1. the press should hold this space accountable and criticism can be healthy
2. good media costs money and i'm not out to villainize paid partnerships
3. my MAIN GRIPE is the drumbeat of cynical, dismissive, rage-bait coverage of our industry poisons the information layer for retail readers who can’t tell the difference between paid placement and editorial conviction
here's what's going to happen next:
1. Jay is committed to fairness, and I believe him. call balls and strikes. it's fair to report rainy days as long as you're also covering the sunny days.
2. i will personally be an available resource to CoinDesk reporters, in case there's a need for a quote, a deeper level of understanding, or an insider opinion on an NFT story
3. going forward i hope all press takes into consideration that this industry goes through jubilant and brutal cycles and that we cover the good and the bad. otherwise we scare off anyone curious about what we're doing here and the space will struggle to grow.
that is all for now. thanks to the community, to jay, and for everyone else who gave their attention to this matter.

Over the past few years, I’ve woken up to random @CoinDesk articles shitting on our industry, and specifically NFTs.
That alone wouldn't bother me. Criticism is healthy. The press should hold this space accountable.
But while Coindesk takes $ 300k to write glowing “research” around companies in crypto, they also write ragebait headlines that shit on the same industry.
Pretty annoying to see.
It’s bad journalism to ask for $ 300k for an article, and if we don’t pay, you write negatively about us.
There are so many other news outlets actually trying to make it by covering bright stories in our industry.
There are so many other twitter spaces and communities that show up daily to move the space forward.
But what Coindesk is doing can’t be a sustainable model.
So a few weeks ago I opened up a short position on Coindesk’s parent company, Bullish.
This isn’t about money, it’s about principle.
The principle: you can’t hurt our community for your corporate gain.
Why can a business shit on an industry it participates in and still aim to profit within it?
Well, it can’t.
That was my bet anyway.
I’ve now closed the short up $5,387.46.
To be clear: the position is closed. Nothing I write here profits me from a trading standpoint. The trade is over. What's left is the principle.
I will use the money to take Bored Apes out to dinners, or Laker Games, or whatever the fuck I want - and every time I do, I will post an entire article about how I got the money (shorting Coindesk) and why I think Coindesk’s current approach is bad for our industry.
Congrats Coindesk, you’re now at war with a fucking psycho.
I will relentlessly bearpost this behavior until a representative reaches out to me and assures me that they’re going to knock this shit off.
