Two Jev AI ideas I’d love to try: @notkevinzhang
1) Filter my notifications so I only get interrupted when something actually needs me.
2) Give another AI’s work a second look, flagging unsupported claims or missed instructions before it goes out.

Just got rugged in the best way possible 🔥
My ape, immortalized in 100% wool — and the detail is absolutely incredible. Every trait, every stitch, perfectly captured.
Amazing work @richclasdecor — thank you so much. Worth every bit of the wait.

update
the president of @CoinDesk, @jyarow, just gave me a call and we talked through the issues
to reiterate my points:
1. the press should hold this space accountable and criticism can be healthy
2. good media costs money and i'm not out to villainize paid partnerships
3. my MAIN GRIPE is the drumbeat of cynical, dismissive, rage-bait coverage of our industry poisons the information layer for retail readers who can’t tell the difference between paid placement and editorial conviction
here's what's going to happen next:
1. Jay is committed to fairness, and I believe him. call balls and strikes. it's fair to report rainy days as long as you're also covering the sunny days.
2. i will personally be an available resource to CoinDesk reporters, in case there's a need for a quote, a deeper level of understanding, or an insider opinion on an NFT story
3. going forward i hope all press takes into consideration that this industry goes through jubilant and brutal cycles and that we cover the good and the bad. otherwise we scare off anyone curious about what we're doing here and the space will struggle to grow.
that is all for now. thanks to the community, to jay, and for everyone else who gave their attention to this matter.

Over the past few years, I’ve woken up to random @CoinDesk articles shitting on our industry, and specifically NFTs.
That alone wouldn't bother me. Criticism is healthy. The press should hold this space accountable.
But while Coindesk takes $ 300k+ to write glowing “research” around companies in crypto, they also write ragebait headlines that shit on the same industry.
Pretty annoying to see.
It’s bad journalism to ask for $ 300k+ for an article, and if we don’t pay, you write negatively about us.
There are so many other news outlets actually trying to make it by covering bright stories in our industry.
There are so many other twitter spaces and communities that show up daily to move the space forward.
But what Coindesk is doing can’t be a sustainable model.
So a few weeks ago I opened up a short position on Coindesk’s parent company, Bullish.
This isn’t about money, it’s about principle.
The principle: you can’t hurt our community for your corporate gain.
Why can a business shit on an industry it participates in and still aim to profit within it?
Well, it can’t.
That was my bet anyway.
I’ve now closed the short up $5,387.46.
To be clear: the position is closed. Nothing I write here profits me from a trading standpoint. The trade is over. What's left is the principle.
I will use the money to take Bored Apes out to dinners, or Laker Games, or whatever the fuck I want - and every time I do, I will post an entire article about how I got the money (shorting Coindesk) and why I think Coindesk’s current approach is bad for our industry.
Congrats Coindesk, you’re now at war with a fucking psycho.
I will relentlessly bearpost this behavior until a representative reaches out to me and assures me that they’re going to knock this shit off.

Great night with the Toronto BAYC gang.
Always good to step out of the timeline and connect IRL.
Big thanks to @NFTPrince for organizing such a great meetup.

Caught an interesting comment made by @mfigge on @farokh pod .
He's talking about @yugalabs leaning into the "Yacht Club" identity — going more nautical, calling it unexplored territory for the brand and a way to make it more accessible.
Smart move IMO.
Apes with nautical traits are about to be in serious demand. Sea captain hats, fisherman hats, sailor shirts, navy stripes — those are the traits to watch.
Though let's be real… every Ape is iconic. @BoredApeYC
