When an NFT community comes together organically with genuine excitement, it's something special - especially when the price is low (means vibes are driven by something other than price/hype). Saw it with @GenuineUndead , @RareApepeYC - see similar potential in @Y00tsYC

If you can manage to hold your $ape long term, we need your voting power. Community has the potential to hold control of the DAO for a while (and a huge, influential voting block permanently) for what could be the future of the metaverse. There's more than money at stake

I'm Cuban, and I knew I needed a guayabera ape as soon as I saw that trait. So cool (but not surprising) to learn that BAYC has a diverse team, and that it probably led to my culture being represented in this collection <3. The guayabera on my ape feels more meaningful now

@xBenJamminx I can understand that. I would also say - if something has gotten to the point where an homage or facsimile of it is valuable, does the homage detract from the value of the original? Or add to it? IMO punks' value is almost entirely socially determined and this only adds to that

@BAYC7300 @RDM_41 And that's a big reason not to sell. Average ape holder at this point has only a little over 2 apes. There's a limited amount of selling that can continue to happen before taking profits means leaving the club for most people

@PuffYatty In early BAYC days, when the liquidity pools were actually working, I kept buying like 10% of an ape, worked my way up to 90% over a few weeks and almost got a second ape (unfortunately had to sell that because of a medical emergency)
