I fucked up. These last months as head of operations at Final Bosu, I steered our team in too many directions. Yesterday it hit me for real: it’s time for a massive internal shift. When I opened our Notion dashboard I saw 26 active projects. Each one felt like its own business: VR experiences, huge events, collector profiles, content pipelines, animations, art… the list went on. All great ideas. All important. But the problem? We’re still only a small team of 5-7 full timers. Even with new hires, it’s not enough to do it all at high quality. Why did we take on so much? Part of it was wanting to deliver for the community. Part of it was covering up our own insecurities. Part of it is excitement for all projects. As a leader I realize now: It’s not about doing everything. It’s about saying no to almost everything… and putting all focus into the one thing that truly matters. The fun part is this: our team is insanely talented when we work together and optimize every little detail. Just like when we launched the collection and the campaign, everyone felt that Final Bosu vibe. But when we’re spread too thin, each in our own lanes, chasing too many things at once… that magic can’t come through. And I think that’s exactly what we’ve all been longing for as a community. That’s about to change. I’ve found the one thing we need to focus on. It’s clear as daylight. And I believe the next weeks and months will turn the whole narrative around. When I shared this new vision in one-on-one calls, every single team member said: Yes. This is it. Today in the holder-only SyncUp, I’ll go deeper into what this means and how it will look in practice.

To whoever bought that Bored Ape for 666 $ETH last night, I’ve got bad news for you: Bored Apes aren’t coming back. Even if you’re betting on an upcoming NFT season (so am I), you can’t just rotate into dino collections that offer nothing but a PFP. That’s like buying $ADA or $LTC just because you expect a bull run. The meta has shifted. You want NFTs with strong leadership, real brand direction, and distribution through highly aligned, mission-driven communities. Look at what @LucaNetz has built with @pudgypenguins, or what @spencer is doing with @moonbirds right now. I expect even more cult-like leaders to emerge and follow their example. The only real exception is CryptoPunks. They’ve earned legacy status and are cultural artifacts by now. They’ll probably hit new highs we can’t even imagine. But that Bored Ape era is over. They had their chance, and they wasted it. Accept it and move on. There’s still time to rotate into winners.
