A couple things I want to add, in my typical long form way. 👇
First, I’m beyond excited to be kicking off 2024 in this way with our team. To build the sustained legacy for BAYC that we intend, it’s imperative that we focus on the club aspect of
@BoredApeYC
.
That’s exactly what…
What’s up BAYC.
This year we’re going back to basics, making sure the club is at the heart of everything we do. A few brief updates with that in mind.

Have to agree here. The solution is not "move Apecoin to it's own chain." It's properly optimize the contract. Provide minting windows for those who are KYC'd that give ample time and guaranteed mint. Those are just 2 simple, current solutions that would have been effective.

Pay attention the the people who are quietly building. Who support others. Who have humility & aren’t chaotic performatives. Follow them, let them be your guides.
There’s a lot of noise, a lot of “Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubemen” in NFTs. It’s all distraction.

There’s a lot of discussion on the TL today about whether respecting/enforcing creator royalties is “right” or “wrong.”
The fact remains, whether a royalty is included as part of a transaction should be up to the CREATOR of the art/IP — not the marketplace who is simply granted…

If you were here in HK, you know. IYKYK. It was epic on so many levels, an experience many will remember for the rest of their lives (myself included).
Yes not everything went perfectly. Never does. And we learned a lot, as always, to make it better for next time. Like we did…
Seeing all the ApeFest feedback (98% epically positive)..if you’re here for perfection, BAYC is the wrong club.
1. We are doing ‘weird shit’ and breaking stuff.
2. The attention to detail to HK culture was off the charts authentic (just the venue posters at ApeFest🤯)
