Death, taxes, ape floor rises. To truly elevate, ape must remain in its natural state.

Some are here for the Swamp, Others(for the)Side. I'm here because in 2020 I stanned @beeple who led me to back @mfigge in 2022 and as it happened, @yugalabs.
As an investor there's a joy I get from backing dreamers and doers; it's a value I can't count and I can't spend. I may wear my unicorns on my vest, but the joy of backing brilliant artists/founders and seeing them truly cook is the real halo. Money comes and money goes, but knowing that you got to help someone move the world a little bit...that's golden.
@BoredApeYC means much more than we think; @jeannievu and I spend a lot of time in the digital art world (@lacma, @rhizome), and it's clear that culture is the ultimate moat of humanity. What @mfigge and his incredible team are building will be the Bifrost of the digital culture realms and it's a joy to be a small part of its history. Personally can't wait for the BAYC Asia tour - that's a whole lot of people about to be re-introduced to Apes.
There are 46 golden apes, but this Angel Investor Ape tells my story. See you in the Clubhouse.
*Grateful to @grailsotc for making this happen.

Repost and reply for a chance to win this autographed Paul Skenes @Topps card!
ALT 2025 Topps Heritage Autographed card Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh Pirates (62/76)
Paul Skenes turns 24 today! Last year, Skenes became only the third pitcher to win the Rookie of the Year and Cy Young within the first two seasons of his career, following:
Fernando Valenzuela (ROY & Cy Young 1981)
Dwight Gooden (ROY 1984, Cy Young 1985)
ALT Pictured: A three-photo collage of Fernando Valenzuela, Dwight Gooden and Paul Skenes. Left - Fernando Valenzuela delivers a pitch. He wears a white Los Angeles Dodgers jersey with blue lettering, blue cap and brown baseball glove. Center - Dwight Gooden delivers a pitch. He wears a white pinstriped New York Mets jersey with blue and orange lettering, blue cap and black baseball glove. Right - Paul Skenes delivers a pitch. He wears a black Pittsburgh Pirates jersey with yellow lettering, black cap and black baseball glove.

Today we're making changes to ApeCoin.
Yuga Labs and ApeCo (fka Ape Foundation) coordinate, but operate in parallel. To keep the orgs and leaders in sync, a coordination tax is paid in additional handoffs and added decision-making checkpoints.
This made sense when the lack of regulatory clarity forced crypto to contort into strange formations just to ship.
That era is over, and we need to reset from first principles.
Simpler, with less coordination tax.
Cam helped build and lead ApeCo, and he’s fully aligned with me on this reboot. With the reset, the separate ApeCo lead role no longer makes sense in the same way. Cam is stepping down from that role.
The core ApeChain tech and BD teams will now work directly with Yuga, so the chain and its partners will be well served. Some other members of ApeCo will be departing - they’re really great people and we’re thankful for their hard work. This transition will be complete by June 5th.
ApeCoin should not feel like a separate bet from all the other progress Yuga is making with its brands. Everywhere else we are building holders with real conviction and ApeCoin will be no different.
So I’m currently planning a roadshow in June with key and prospective partners, exchanges, investors, institutions and community members in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei and Seoul. We’re going to show up in person and build the relationships that move BAYC, Otherside, and ApeCoin forward together.
This is a first step, but not the only step.
so let me get this straight
in the last cycle
people didn’t know whether or not
launching a token
would be totally chill
or would be totally jail
because the SEC wasn’t willing to establish modern rules
so to be safe
don’t launch a fungible token in a US jurisdiction
get really good lawyers
who will tell you how to navigate
a mission impossible laser room of jurisdictions
so you don’t get in trouble with your little coin
then someone you don’t know
and will never meet
will launch your token’s smart contract in BVI or Panama
or wherever it’s chill to do that
so ‘you’ didn’t launch it
for tax purposes the token will get appraised at de minimis
so you don’t get fucked on taxes with a fortune of phantom income at tge
treasury is managed off-shore
by a ‘Foundation’
put a DAO in front to advise the Foundation
on how to distribute a token
by voting on different proposals
people organize
beauracratize
and participate in a
pure democracy where the richest people have the most votes
and winners get free money?
but at least that’s a reason to buy the token
builders try really hard
get disillusioned by proposals
get scorned by other participants
get blamed when its not working
pitchforks
dissolve dao
but then rich people holding tokies to control the ballot have no reason to hold
market sell
price down only
everyone jaded
all because
navigating a grey zone legal landscape
from washington beaureaucrats who didn’t want to set a clear policy
tokie ATL
but now
new leadership
is autistic at simplifying
and thinks a bunch of shit doesn’t make sense
and is going to tear down and rebuild
and streamline everything until its coherent
did I get that right?

Oh look look look, boss ape @mfigge yelled really loudly, OG apes then went psycho mode and everyone else finally found their voice.
And the fucking tone CHANGED.
You have a voice.
Jesus Christ I’ve been yelling for years, yeeeeears. Don’t be scared to use it. Don’t be a grifting piece of shit. Don’t just be a zombie consuming doomscrolls and yapping for elon bucks. Please. This space can do so much good, this is just a tiny stupid example, but you gotta start somwhere. Keep people accountable. Don’t just blindly bagprotect.
USE. YOUR. VOICE.

Day 3/10 of asking @refikanadol to adress this.
Matter of principle at this point, please help me amplify it.
We can’t do crypto art and then fumble into legacy systems burdens.

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
bored ape yacht club
