You did not see photos of UFOs on the internet. bores ape yacht club.

@mfigge @traitcombo @GrailsOTC Black suits

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

@MontiMania @supducks I love my SupDucks

The @SupDucks deal unfortunately is not going to happen on my end. Some of you might bite my head off for posting about the deal before the deal was finalized, and I 100% agree. That was straight up stupid of me. I got excited, and jumped the gun. That is on me. And I sincerely apologize for that. My intentions were genuine, and I wanted this to work. But taking up a 6 figure business loan putting up my home as collateral to buy an NFT collection I don't know enough about is something I'm not willing to do. I hope someone will step up and take over the project, and I hope it will be brought back to the greatness it deserves. Sup.

4T filter now live for @BoredApeYC 🍌 good idea @carsonturner and thanks for the assist @tom_hirst 😉

@TheeHustleHouse @_PPMan_ @GrailsOTC Followed

Everyone follow @GrailsOTC now please. 🙏🦍❤️

Yuga’s @GrailsOTC Desk is open. Connecting serious collectors across grail BAYC, Kodas, and Deeds. Have one or looking for one? DM @GrailsOTC.

@mfigge @apecoin Grail approved ✅

we’re going to make a Yuga Grails OTC desk this desk will be open by the end of the week why: spent the last two days reviewing in-bound collector interest as well as off-market options initially thought this was going to help with a couple of quick placements, but this feels like an important opportunity to support holders and the BAYC brand people don’t usually list grails because… they’re grails. collectors want unlisted grails but they don’t know how to start the conversation and these discussions are more nuanced than an anonymous WETH offer on a marketplace for every transaction we facilitate, we’ll be taking a small fee which will support the club going forward if you are a broker who already facilitates deals, and you'd like our help, we're open to sharing in the upside thank you bored ape yacht club

@mfigge @SeraStargirl Good luck to the grail hunters.

gm have collectors reaching out inquiring about off-market grails today if you are holding an unlisted gold ape, trippy ape, megakoda, or other bayc/otherside grail and are open to discussion about transaction please msg me thank you bored ape yacht club

@dtrain22k @kirk_eth few

Imma level with you guys. None of you would have been able to mint apes and not sell them till you were getting 200k minimum per ape. You’re not built like that. You would have gotten out the 5 eth to 1 eth pull back. Or the 10 to 4 one. Or the 25 to 15 one. Or the 60 to 25 one. Maybe you didn’t even make it from mint to 1 Eth floor. That’s the reality. I’m sorry but it is. Apes have a rep on CT of being dumb and getting drained etc. But the reality is they were some of the smartest people in NFTs. They survived all those pull backs because they understood what the potential was and what the catalysts were that would continue driving price up. And they also understood the most important thing of all. The most basic thing. The thing that everyone misses every time because it’s too simple. They were the best project in the market. The best project in crypto always goes the highest. It’s not complicated. Really. It’s really that easy. You have to remove all your biases. You think they are ugly. You hate the community. All the reasons you tell yourself and don’t buy. None of that has anything to do with the price. It was the best run and executed project in NFTs. It’s that simple. The team delivered hype and fomo. They delivered product. Gave every ape a dog. You thought it was dumb. It wasn’t. People loved their dogs. They had a public road map and delivered every item on time including a mobile game which was fun. They went the highest because they were the best executed nft project. It’s simple. You wouldn’t have survived the pullbacks on fartcoin either. There is a less than zero chance you would have not sold any of your stack you got at 4M until 1.2B minimum. Because you didn’t understand it was simply the best meme coin on Solana the moment it dropped. That’s it. It was simply the best meme coin on Solana the day it dropped. It was quite obvious. It was a self marketing machine. The name was worth billions. But you thought it was stupid. Fart jokes aren’t funny. None of that matters. What you think about something doesn’t mean anything for the price. Winning crypto bets are a game of human psychology. What is the most logical project that the most people will buy. What is the best option during that period. It’s simple math. The best goes the highest. That’s how I trade crypto. There may be things I like and think will do well and I make some money on them. But they aren’t the best and I know they aren’t the best. I trade them and make some money. But once I find the best I load up and I ride it until I’ve made what I think it’s worth. A lot of things go into me deciding it’s the best. I think about things differently than a lot of people. But I was a a top 1% nft trader and probably a top .5% meme trader. Anyways I digress. I’m excited for the pumpcade app. Finna place some really fun stupid bets.

@Feld4014 @RFDZI Bored Ape Yacht Club

I think one of the things I liked about NFTs in the early days, was the obsessing over traits, art, experiences, and creativity and how to blend it all together into community and fun. The problem was when the moonboys pivoted over to NFTs, it became a cesspool of trying to extract from a smaller and smaller more disillusioned set of holders and an ever increasing segmented community. Even the early days you felt the segmentation where people would leave the BAYC shortly after leveraging it to launch their own project, thinking they would dethrone the king. The newcomers cared less and less about traits and collecting and art, much less community, and cared more about timing the pumps. And the truth is the industry fed into that by baking gambling and other degeneracy right into the marketplaces. But the biggest driver of this was rewarding influencers (who shilled for the pumps) instead of collectors. This time around, project founders must resist the urge to reward influencers, and try and build their projects slowly on their own merits, and reward collectors, if any. Your project gets free marketing if it's cool enough. That is the power of social media. Paid shills gives your game away. As for patience, people forget that BAYC grinded upwards with many setbacks before reaching a crazy valuation over the course of many months. Many projects that followed were about selling out and expediting that process to extract royalties and generate hype. But remember, BAYC itself took ages to sell out, and as the founders will attest, they weren't sure that it would, several days in. To anyone starting a project in this climate: Keep it fun. Keep the mystery alive. Reward the artists. Reward the collectors. Don't give into the "reward the influencer" cycle, because it will bite you post-launch. Grind slow. Face the fear of not minting/selling out, and build an organic experience. The next wave of NFTs should take us on a journey. Reignite the childhood wonder, and restore our faith in humanity. Because if wave #2 just becomes about the charts, it will wither away into a snoozefest of a memecoin szn when the prediction market nerds get bored of getting fleeced by insiders, and flood into NFTs. They might be our exit liquidity, but don't cater to their bullshit. NFTs were the last bastion of "fair speculation", but if PvP products and games take over, and the 90% become disillusioned, they'll just sit out and wait for the next narrative. Don't let short term gains outweigh the real potential of this lasting culture vertical in crypto. The financialization of NFTs and not rewarding the artists is what killed the cool in the first place. Let's not make the same mistakes.

@Feld4014 @TheStevenWarner It’s all Feld’s fault

@TheStevenWarner Sorry 😅😅😅😅

I kid you not… I’ve been watching the BAYC floor for months trying to find one I actually love. The clean, aesthetic apes? Straight diamond hands. Low key… I respect that a lot.

@TheStevenWarner Sup

@pavelsvitek_ 7/10 lights should turn off in the office

You are hiring frontend engineer and you see this. What do you do?

@savagefks @MayanMango Savage

@MayanMango Imagine being proud of a product without having to badmouth another brand in the process. Low iq

no land plots minted for hundreds of millions, no secondary mint diluting holders, no holder extraction needed. Just real revenue from Web 2 markets funding the build. That's how you lead properly. 🐧📈 👏

@tropoFarmer Congrats Tropo

this is what I've been doing for the past year. hope you all enjoy it, more to come. congrats to my fellow chads on the team at Igloo Inc, who are carrying my ass hyperpengu
