Happy to announce that in late 2022 I became a meaningful co-owner of @beeple's landmark artwork HUMAN ONE. This seminal piece blending digital, physical, and temporal is the most important contemporary artwork of its generation. @jeannievu and I are proud to have been co-owners alongside @kukulabanze (the original buyer in 2021) and @pablorfraile for the past 3 years, and grateful for 1OF1's leadership in elevating the work to numerous venerable institutions like Castello di Rivoli, MPlus, Crystal Bridges, Mori Museum, and now @nodefnd 🧵

Congratulations @refikanadol and Efsun on the official launch of @DatalandMuseum !!!

What’s more weird, that this horse statue has a heart shape a** or that I noticed it and am standing here contemplating it? (Btw go see @refikanadol’s @DatalandMuseum if you’re in LA)

ASIA!!! @figge in your area….

Congratulations to @carlosdomingo and @Securitize !! Amazing achievement and a milestone in the transformation of capital markets!!! Proud to be early investors and grateful for their hard work.

Some people only think of @innoutburger when they come to LA, but for me it’s PhoHolic in OC 😉

That’s incredible!! Salute ser, truly Great Ape energy!! 🦍🦍🦍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

This Ape is helping animals @labrabznft so that's a start! but I agree, would love to see the community make an impact beyond itself! Any Apes out there doing charity work? Public goods work? x.com/labrabznft/status/2060…

The energy of new Chinese Apes had been infectious The love they’ve shown me after my post and the excitement they show towards connecting with the global club has been unreal I know a lot of you claim that there are no new NFT buyers but these guys make me think otherwise In case you forgot, let me remind you that… Asia is the alpha And that… BAYC is a global club 🌎🦍

The response to the Angel Investor Ape has been overwhelming. It's has shown @jeannievu and I the power and potential of Ape community - the feeling of finding home. Thanks to all of you who reached out to say congrats or gm. Apes give the best hugs. Credit due, @jeannievu and I would never have taken this step if @AdamWeitsman hadn't made so many baller moves in this community. While there are many Great Apes like @mfigge @machibigbrother @_PPMan_ and others, Adam inspired us to look deeper and unknowingly gave us the confidence to leap. Thank you for your leadership! To everyone, be great!! You never know who's watching...ready to be inspired!

感谢中国猿猴被更多人关注到 谢谢你 我得朋友🦍🤝🦍

Some more context about Chinese ape community. Actually, Chinese BAYC community has been a major force in the ecosystem since May 1st, 2021. Back during the early bathroom pixel wars, Chinese apes occupied a massive section near the bottom. Some OGs probably still remember that mysterious gray area. 😂 A dedicated Chinese ape fund was later formed and accumulated 50 BAYCs, including #7527, the legendary golden ape that still hasn't been sold to this day. What many people outside China don't realize is that our social layer was never built on X. It has always lived inside private WeChat groups. Many of those groups have stayed maxed out for years. A huge amount of BAYC, MAYC, and Otherside grails are quietly held by Chinese collectors as well. Some of the rarest assets in the ecosystem ended up in the hands of OG Chinese apes (@vis_eth , @haoxitong , @Keboqi etc.） Many Chinese holders rarely X, but they tend to hold for an extremely long time. Chinese apes were never the loudest on X, but they've consistently been among the strongest holders. The Chinese community also understands identity, social circles, and club culture on a very deep level. We simply express it differently. So from our perspective, China isn't "waking up" to BAYC again. A lot of us simply never left. What's changing now is that newer Chinese collectors are becoming more public, more social, and more willing to reconnect with the global club again. That's why Yuga's upcoming Asia roadshow could matter more than people expect. And none of this reconnection happens without bridges like @veratheape. She's been doing the quiet work of keeping the Chinese and global communities linked, kudos to her, and to every ape helping make that happen. Bored Ape Yacht Club. 互联网上最好的俱乐部！
