Some people say “BAYC is dead”
Some people say “BAYC ruined NFTs”
I say “BAYC gave me a new family”
I’ve been organizing monthly events for
@baykada over the last 5 years & here’s the alpha I can tell you:
The real value is in the people you meet because of your JPEGs
For me, BAYC made me:
> meet new lifelong friends
> rekindle connections with old friends who got into NFTs
> make new connections & business partners that got me to
@BorednHungry
> form a new family from URL to IRL
That made holding an ape fun and fulfilling over the last 5 years
And I thought, hey, if we’ve been doing this for 5 years already and a lot of people stayed and a lot of new people came in…
We can keep doing this for 5 more years, or more
Maybe the real key to making BAYC survive long-term, across multiple cycles as a club, is to keep cultivating community works like this and I think
@mfigge gets it
Y’all gotta zoom out of the price and charts
The alpha is unique holder count
The way to do it is community building
The goal is survivorship
The history rewards the victors
