Not really a TCG person these days, but I do appreciate how BAYC executed Mudwater in a way that feels aligned with ape holders and the culture surrounding the community.
The strongest collectibles are often those that allow people to feel a genuine sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves.
in an era where a cesspool of newly minted bundle rugs are ready to dump on any newcomers to the space
plumbers and broccoli heads pray to satoshi for some divinely authored fair launch coins with immaculate distribution
it’s not unique to crypto
TCGs suffer a similar challenge
Costco fights and FedEx heists settle the distribution for the most aura-packed ink on cardboard (blessed the finest provenance)
so
we tried smthn diff and stealth launched
and gave 71% of the total Mudwater supply to the community for free
the spirit of early bayc
box allocation distribution was designed like a token drop
and soon, the limited allocations set aside for other communities will amplify Mudwater further
ask around and you’ll find Mudwater being talked about by leadership at collectible card companies
our inboxes are full of folks asking how they can buy boxes and cases
the thing is
we did a Fair Launch TCG
(might as well put a ™ after that)
and because of the apecoin:native reflection, holders are more aligned with the success of the project too
so if you want to stack size
you’ll have to acquire it one pack at a time from the apes who have it
good luck

I just minted "Demon Time" by @1SLES which is now live on @TransientLabs. Minting now! transient.xyz/mint/demon-tim…
I occasionally flip through runway presentations (used to do so more often back when I was in the fashion industry) and can’t help but admire how beautiful the set design for Chanel SS27 is.
Tastefully conceived by creative director Matthieu Blazy and scenographer Richard Peduzzi at the Grand Palais in Paris, symbolising Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel’s pursuit of independence and freedom.

i will continue to say that the hate on Apes is misguided. I don't really understand it. You have anon influencers who appeared like Ossen that are going hard on the hate.
all i see from apefest is a group of likeminded people who share common interests enjoying each others company and the culture built around collectibles that they own.
show me a trading card fair or event, an art exhibition, a car show... and the scene could look similar.
stop hating on people who are enjoying their lives and building culture around something they are proud to own, and showing up despite market price being down and overall morale of the NFT space at low levels.
Gutted to be missing Apefest this year, but I'll be there on the Otherside.
Hope to catch some familiar faces on the stream!
Tonight’s the night. Doors to The Swamp amphitheater open at 7:30pm ET and the ApeFest stream kicks off at 8.

Wild to see Adam being accused of doing paid promos.
Perhaps consider the possibility that there are people that genuinely want to uplift the space?

A purchase that felt a little more personal and a small way to commemorate just how much can change in a year.
Took a step back since last year's 10/10 to focus on my mental and physical well-being, and looking back, it has been one of the most positive decisions I have made.
We are, in our own ways, unbreakable.

Token2049 🇸🇬 is wrapping up.
been to plenty of side events and private dinners, ate good food and collected more merch than i needed 😂
but the @BoredApeYC night felt different, it's more like a family reunion.
this is a comunity where you never feel alone. everyone somehow feel connected, even if you’ve never met irl.
big love to @mfigge, @wonk1m and the @baycsg team. glad to be part of the crew alongside @Xeer, @jayefunk, @onlyrys, @flyingpengween, @0xMintoshi
apes from around the world all under one roof. wouldn’t have been the same without everyone who showed up 🦍🍌
The fragility of being loved.
