@PeterSchiff Wish you a happy and prosperous life - 100 More years to discover the benefits of BTC

Today is my birthday. I'm now 63, and I was born in '63. That typically only happens once in a lifetime. However, if AI can extend human lifespans, maybe it will happen twice. I just have to live to be 163!

@dfinzer @openseafdn I will built a better opensea with Claude in a week

an update on $SEA. the team has been building at full speed, and the foundation had planned to kick off the first steps as part of our march 30th event. but @openseafdn is pushing back the timeline. a delay is a delay. i’m not going to dress it up, and i know how it lands. the reality is that market conditions are challenging across crypto right now, and $SEA only launches once. @openseafdn could force the original date, or we could ensure every piece is in place and make this moment what this community deserves. we gave a tremendous amount of thought to how to do right here. I’m thankful to @HollanderAdam for bringing the community’s voice into every conversation. we’ll be doing the following: no more waves: the current rewards wave will be our last. optional fee refund: recognizing that we originally committed to a Q1 date, we’re offering refunds of the platform fees we retained while participating in the rewards waves (3 - 6) that followed our timing announcement. if you like, you can receive a refund of those fees, which when combined with treasure chest prizes, essentially means all of your trading during that period was on us. if you opt for a refund, the Treasures you were awarded during these waves will be removed from your account. details on this process will follow. honoring existing Treasures: for Treasures you continue to hold, our prior commitment stands: they will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation at TGE. this is independent from allocations for historical activity. 0% fees for 60 days: starting on march 31st, opensea will reduce our own token trading fees to 0%. we want to make it a no-brainer for everyone to experience our new platform: cross-chain token trading, mobile app, perps and more. after this 60 day period, we will put a new system in place that makes fees significantly more competitive for anyone trading consistently on opensea. product updates: while we’re postponing our march 30th event, we’ll host a separate one in the coming months focused on product updates. it’s been incredible to see the early responses to our mobile app, and we can’t wait to get it into more people’s hands. so if not now, wen? when we announced last year, it was too early. that created unnecessary uncertainty and reactivity. so when the Foundation sets a new timeline, it will be deliberate and specific. here’s why i’m confident that’s the right move: i’ve been building opensea for almost a decade. when this started, we were two people and the only thing you could trade on OS was cryptokitties. i’ve watched this space go from a niche curiosity to billions in volume to where we are today. the thing that’s carried us through every cycle was a willingness to make hard calls when it mattered. when our market crashed, we rebuilt from zero: an entirely new stack, a new product, and a new team culture. that hurt in the short term. but today OS2 is undeniably the strongest marketplace offering, and it’s the foundation everything sits on. we have huge ambitions as a company, and we’re here for the long game. making all of non-custodial crypto delightful on mobile is just the beginning. that means we have to set a very high bar for everything we do, and it’s why i’m so protective of delivering a launch that’s worthy of this community and everything we’re putting into this.

@iamhug3 @CryptoGarga @yugalabs @BoredApeYC Outsource Otherside - keep the profits but get it out of BAYC . Keep the swamp for virtual events though - tired of rubbing around Otherside with hundreds of different boring NFT avatars . I only want to see apes

Open letter to @CryptoGarga and @yugalabs ⬇️ 6 months ago I stated that @BoredApeYC was silently losing all its members day after day. Garga stepped into my DMs asking what I suggested they shall improve. I answered. Never got a feedback. Here is my opinion, written with the shared concern or support of a few fellow @FrenchApeYC, @marcelhabibi @LabMax @dim8765 @dyorjdr @evomaster427 @Chrispodz68 @etherandrum among others. ➡️ Hey Garga, I appreciate the fact that you're open to the discussion, here are what I (and quite a lot of other French Apes, i asked for their opinion too before answering) think: Its not just a matter of more of this or that, sometimes its also a matter of "less of this or that" So here are our main ideas: Biggest thought: the Club should be seen as the main pillar, its Members as main audience 1- Encourage and use the power of dedicated sub communities (especially the ones per countries), why no one is building with us, why no one is listening to our ideas? in quite a lot of countries, we are well structured, long time friends and partners, long time holders, entrepreneurs, seeing each others every single month). Just to give you an idea, in 2025 we mainly talked about everything related to crypto except yuga related topics lol. Our bayc / otherside / chans are dead cuz there is almost nothing to talk about. (Since then almost all my fellow french apes sold their apes…) 2- Recover the vibe esp social media content, art direction and global lore (its been truely lost, damn the level on twitter is really low since a few weeks, stop reposting everything everyday and just start again to be creative, insolent, brilliant, mocking sometimes. See how gordon writes? then that should be the tone of the voice of the club on social media imo) 3- Develop BAYC Brand and IP. Updates on club house? Build publicly? 4- Stop wasting ressources in useless things (Alpine partnerships and other BB deals) 5- Focus on apechain as infrastructure for OtherSide (rest is useless for apechain, it could have been what Abstract Chain is right now, but now its too late and its not useful anymore). 6- Admit failures and don't ignore members/holders who have been abandonned (HVmtl / lotm). (Since then, Adam took over) 7- Stop false promises (BAYC LLC) and communicate whenever it happens 8- Don't make make things to make things if the quality is not here (BB transparency reports). But if you have nothing to show because it takes time to build? then go back to point #2 9- IMPORTANT Update abandonned websites (bayc and Yuga like wtf??, just pay someone with a normal wage and do it) 10- Fresh blood in the space (i mean, i think everyone knows that illa is in the music industry and baron drinks redbull... that's quite the part of the "less of this or that") 11- And finally last cherry: structure Yuga as a company, hire people full time, dont pay them hundreds or millions, stack teams, hire managers, not every yuga employee has to be fancy on social media, just hire normal people who work normally but do deliver. this should solve #3 and #9 OVERALL: just BE the best club more than SAYING it. If it truely is, then it doesnt need to be said. Less narrative, more action. PS: written with my heart, not with chatgpt PPS: will I get an answer this time? Hug3.
