history lesson:
if you minted a bored ape for $200 and played it perfectly you'd have walked away with $860k
- ape: $385k
- mutant: $80k
- dog: $32k
- 2 otherdeeds: $44k
- 13k apecoin: $347k
that wasn't getting lucky, it was the floor. 10,000 tokens, every single holder.
4,300x from a $200 mint. there will not be another collection like it.

JUST IN: Bitcoin stolen from Coldcard hardware wallet hack now exceeds $88,000,000.
Jroyalty7.eth π retweeted
$1.6 million dollars in Bitcoin was drained from my account on July 29th in the Cold Card wallet hack.
My Bitcoin was in cold storage. My keys were on a ColdCard device kept in a safety deposit box that had never been connected to the internet.
This part's nerdy, but here's what happened:
Hackers discovered a vulnerability in the part of the hardware wallet code used to create seed phrases.
This allowed them to use AI to brute force guessing seed phrases.
I was at our cottage and heard about the hack today.
"No way this affects me." I thought.
I logged into Wasabiββsoftware that lets me view my bitcoin wallets online.
Right away I saw lines of red transactionβwithdrawalsβand I knew.
From 9:36pm - 9:43pm on July 29th, every wallet I had had been emptied.
18.25245043 btc gone. That's just over $1.6 million dollars CAD.
Perhaps the hardest part about this is that I did everything right.
I never shared my seed phrase with anybody. My devices never touched the internet. Everything was kept in multiple safes and safety deposit boxes.
None of it mattered. All because the hardware that created the seed phrase originally had one line in their code from 2021 that had a vulnerability.
I'm filing a police report and a report with the Ontario Securities Commission. But I don't expect to recoup anything.
A part of me is trying to make sense of what just happened. Or try to figure out a lesson in it. I'm struggling. $1.6 million is a staggering amount of money to have stolen.
I guess all that I can think about right now is that I'm so damn happy that I'm an entrepreneur and that my earning potential is under my control. Mark my damn words. I'll recover.

π¨ZACHXBT: βALL HARDWARE WALLETS ARE COMPLETE GARBAGEβ!
On-chain investigator ZachXBT warned against using current hardware wallets for signing critical transactions or storing large amounts of funds.
He singled out Ledger as the worst option, citing frequent Ledger Live updates that disrupt basic functionality, and suggested a dedicated iPhone used only for crypto may be a better alternative.

Iβm ready to put in the work and build.
The main reason I took this position is because I believe in the potential of Yuga, Figge and the entire web3 ecosystem. These are early days and weβre going to grow this industry together.
I wonβt be taking any compensation in this role so that I can remain an unbiased liaison between the Ape community and Yuga Labs.
Today @AdamWeitsman joins the Yuga Labs Board of Directors.
Building toward the next cycle means putting the right people in the right seats.
Adam is a self-made entrepreneur across multiple industries and one of the most impactful collectors in the space. But what sets him apart is character - heβs been a genuine friend to me and to this community when it counted most.
If youβve ever spent time with Adam, youβd know that heβs got an incredible work ethic, relentlessly pursuing success in everything he does.
Heβs the kind of person you want in your corner heading into the next cycle.
BAYC, Otherside, and ApeCoin.

One of the novelties in sentiment right now is how an actor with a demonstrated track record of deploying resources can meaningfully grow a token's size and reach.
This is in contrast to the challenges that DAOs have historically faced.
The latest runner signals pent up demand and maybe even a shift in sentiment:
away from pure decentralization in the disbursement of resources, and toward decentralization in the actual building of the network.
Iβm currently reworking @apecoin, similar to how I've recently worked on turnarounds for BAYC and Otherside. This topic is on my mind.
A related effect: well-run protocols and apps put their own attention and weight behind winners to amplify them. We saw this with Phantom and Solana supporting Ansem. Imagine Ethereum supporting the collectibles that brought so much retail use to its network.
In that spirit, I think itβs important that we identify and back clear winners on ApeChain. @apechurch is one of them. Looking at the numbers onchain (defillama), it is the #1 app in its class by fees on any chain, the clear winner among apps built by our community. We need to get behind it at a protocol level.
I learned in Shanghai: thereβs real interest in Ape Church, but the House needs to be bigger to scale.
So today weβre allocating 4 million $APE to the Ape Church House.
Ape Church was already the #1 app in its class by fees, but by the end of the day it will also be #1 by TVL, further empowering them to win.
I think about this diagram from @cdixon's book a lot. We sit on a ton of @apecoin and its value also scales as the token grows. There's a lot of people in our ecosystem putting in the work that gets results.
Expect to see more support flowing towards those that are actively growing the network.

After a decade of blockspace fears and non-monetary-use panics, Bitcoin still has no spam problem. Fees are 1 sat/vB: anyone can move any amount globally with immediate processing for ~$0.30. The free market has always solved Bitcoinβs blockspace challenges. $BTC
