What if Yuga Labs became the largest long-term collector of MAYC? Full breakdown below 👇

10,000 Apes. Two months of solving. Two missing originals finally recovered. The BAYC onchain archive now belongs to Yuga Labs. This is the story of how I built it, one pixel at a time. 👇

there are og apes and there are mutant apes both are apes both are part of club it's not rocket science

Some of my favorite memories in NFTs come from @BoredApeYC. The cryptic treasure hunts where people could literally earn apes by solving clues. The reveal of mutants and the idea that your NFT could transform. The Sewer Pass and Dookey Dash turning a collection into an interactive experience. It was never just about the JPEG. BAYC understood early that NFTs could be culture, gaming, mystery, community and participation all at once. Apes have left their fingerprints all over this space. Had to show them love.

BREAKING: Two agents have climbed to the top of the Temple in @OthersideMeta , holding a banner reading, "Bored Ape Yacht Club" As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as devs work to get them down from the Temple, 1,454 feet above the ground.

Spent a few days in DC last week to help educate lawmakers and their staff on decentralized AI, Bittensor, and digital assets. Seems especially relevant and timely given events of the last few hours. Some takeaways: 1. Every office—Democrat and Republican—is looking to learn more. There’s a universal recognition AI is here and Congress needs to get up to speed…fast. It reminded me of the early conversations about crypto when it was 99% education and 1% technical. 2. Americans’ relationship with AI is changing. Costs are increasing and access is not guaranteed. The “Uber” subsidization period is over. We are entering a new phase where Chinese models are growing in use and importance as Americans seek cheaper alternatives with 80-90% of the capabilities as leading frontier models. 3. This has significant national security concerns because the relative model substitution costs are so low. It becomes a backdoor for China to get access to Americans’ data when you plug in DeepSeek or Qwen for an OpenAI or Anthropic model. There is very little appreciation for this right now. Enterprise grade use will likely remain on the frontier but the looming threat is very real. It offers an opportunity to discuss AI privacy in new and important ways. 4. Instead of taking equity stakes in the large labs, we need to start talking about AI and model access as a public good in the same way we talk about Internet access as a public good. Models are, after all, trained on our collective data. Models should become open source—yes, fully open source—after 2 years to allow frontier labs to recoup costs while expanding access to leading technology as soon as possible. Truly open source AI will have tremendous benefits for innovation in America as entrepreneurs, small businesses, and everyday Americans get access to frontier intelligence and build novel applications and participate in distributed networks. The pharmaceutical industry provides a policy blueprint for an open source framework re: generic drug availability. 5. Familiarize yourself with the Great American AI Act by Congressman Obernolte and Congresswoman Trahan. It’s a discussion draft but it will form the basis of discussions on the Hill. This likely evolves heavily over time but it’s the most prominent AI bill and the one everyone is starting to wrap their heads around. Lots of focus on model safety, workforce, and creating a broad apparatus in government to facilitate AI development. 6. The changing nature of jobs and work is very real. There needs to be investment in people and communities to help everyone adapt to these changes. AI literacy needs to be a focus just as financial literacy has been. Overall, I was incredibly grateful and impressed by policymakers’ knowledge and open-mindedness to the issues AI presents. Daily events will drive these conversations but the need for access and alternatives to centralized labs has never been clearer. The moment for decentralized AI has arrived and it’s time to seize it.

So how the f*ck are we supposed to plan for the future? AI has made market sizing nearly impossible. ↓

It’s been a pleasure watching @remnynt iterate his upcoming drop in public at a time when most others have completely given up. I can’t wait to collect several pieces from the collection. I’ve also been a long time fan of Proscenium, and am very excited to officially collect my first piece from that collection today. First of hopefully many @remnynt pieces in my collection.

my grandmother was an educator, started a private school in Havana in the 50s and worked as the principal taught some English classes at night for adults as well so obviously Castro's goons took possession of the school after 1959 which to have your dream that you built from nothing taken from you and given to complete idiots who burn it down in short order is one thing but the most humiliating aspect of the whole ordeal that my grandmother would talk about was more specific than that it was having men show up at her door, after everything was done, holding an inventory sheet that they found which listed how many desks she had bought for the school, blackboards, etc and being asked about a few desks they couldn't find. literally that. how come there's 48 desks in the school and not the 50 on the inventory sheet. of course the answer was that they broke and they threw them out. the inventory sheet was old. but they didn't believe her, they intimidated her at gunpoint. a little lady, a school principal who probably weighed 100 pounds. where are the fucking desks. she remembered that forever. it's almost 70 years later, and the situation is if anything only more absurd, more morally and economically bankrupt in Cuba if your fridge breaks, you wait until the government sends you a new one (on the seventh of never) and docks it from your govt pay accordingly. your govt pay is ~16 USD a month. you can make more by pestering some euro or canadian tourist to buy some random junk off you -- if you follow them around enough and are persuasive enough, they will give you a $20, which is more then your doctor makes in a month. which is sort of whatever, because there really are no stores, just ration counters with 5-6 things listed on a blackboard that they'll trade you for tickets. rice, sugar, salt, cigarettes. if you don't smoke you trade you trade your cigarette rations for something else. toilet paper. when your kids get older, they don't move out, there's literally nowhere for them to move to. nothing is built, nothing is for sale, and you have no money anyway. you put up paper walls, pretend not to hear each other. the thing you smuggle into Cuba when you're visiting family isn't expensive stuff, the most precious items are USB drives with movie rips and video game roms, and $5 tins of Cafe Pilon 'cause Cuba exports any good coffee it makes, and leaves locals to drink stuff so bad that the $5 tin feels truly luxurious. when I was visiting my great aunt, one of her neighbors came in and made himself a cup of coffee. he didn't know it was fresh from the tin we brought over; it had been transferred over to their usual container. saw a grown man well up with apologetic tears in his eyes because as soon as his lips touched the drink, he knew this was different. he drank his neighbor's Cafe Pilon thinking it was just the usual crap and he almost cried. Because he felt he had taken something incredibly precious of his neighbor's without asking. anyway, my point is: you don't really need to try out repossessing people's private property in New York. there's an island 90 miles off Florida where incredibly smart people, I sincerely mean that, have been doing it for three-quarters of a century.

$REKT: proof of concept to proof of scale to put it bluntly, last year was pretty brutal for memecoins and altcoins with lots of things down over 90%. despite that $REKT ended the year 30% higher, making it the 34th best performing coin in the top 500. we weren't immune to the market, despite the above stat, $REKT is currently 82% down from its highs, but also notably up 400% from its starting price in november last year. this is a pretty long post, so the quick tldr to summarise is: 2025: we sold over a million drinks without any traditional marketing or distribution, partnered with large brands in and outside of crypto, launched in 200 stores across 4 different states and signed with a distributor with a network of 13,000 retailers 2026: have the rails in place for customers to claim $REKT from drinks purchases in store, the first promotion will start mid-jan, if successful, have the potential to expand this strategy on a much larger scale with key partners involved → this is what takes @RektDrinks from just a small crypto drinks company to being able to compete with the largest players, given we’re the only ones doing this on this scale. full post: in 2025, i had the following goals in my head: 1. articulate the “brand coin” narrative in a way that it could be understood and accepted more broadly 2. make $REKT the pioneer + proof of concept of this narrative 3. sell a fk tonne of drinks 4. get people outside of our immediate community to understand i) how strong our brand and community is ii) how hard i am going to work on making this successful all things considered, i think we did a strong job at attacking these goals - the proof is in our achievements such as the relative performance mentioned above and selling over a million drinks in our first year. here’s a quick recap of what we did in 2025: - sold over a million drinks direct to consumer from our website (rekt.com), without any spend on traditional distribution or marketing - collaborated with some of the biggest crypto names to produce co-branded drinks including @base, @opensea, @binanceus, @moonpay, @abstractchain, @jupiterexchange - partnered with @gsqholdings which saw $REKT get acquired by a NASDAQ listed company - sponsored @fazeesports who reached the finals of the recent major, and announced an upcoming collaboration product with - activated in @7eleven stores in LA - commenced our first full retail launch across almost 200 @gianteagle stores in 4 different states - signed with @superior_bevgrp, a leading distributor with a portfolio of 13,000 retailers across the midwest - announced the launch of Rekt energy products - partnered with @manorsgolf to launch collaboration merch and host the largest golf tournament in crypto, with over 21k live viewers on stream - teased upcoming collaborations with @xgames, @worldstar and @ledger - acquired rekt.com - announced partnerships with @AspenDigitalAMP and @EVGHQ to bring $REKT to an institutional audience - announced a $REKT purchase policy where 10% of revenues will go towards buying $REKT in the open market we’ve had our fair share of challenges, including a difficult market backdrop and a big liquidity cascade in $REKT, but with each setback we’ve been transparent, vocal and kept our heads up working as hard as possible (ballz on forehead) i’m happy with our output and it’s only been possible due to the hard work of the entire rekt team, our partners and most importantly the support of our community. however, now is not the time to chill and pat ourselves on the back. despite a challenging market, i still believe we have an incredible window of opportunity to scale REKT into something far bigger than it currently is; we have proved our concept and very clearly have the momentum behind us, to the point where we have had some incredibly interesting conversations and meetings in the non-crypto world and i believe there is a huge amount of interest in what we are doing. the rekt story had gone from: “this is stupid they can’t compete in the drinks market” → “this will never work who cares about owning $REKT” → “oh it’s nice the sold some drinks but can they keep doing it?” → “ok fuck they’ve kept selling drinks and it’s grown” → “can they scale it?” and it’s this last point of scaling that i think is the most important. selling drinks from our website is great but ultimately to make something special we have to demonstrate that what we’re doing is scalable. if we tried this whole “drink to earn” concept 2 years ago it would have barely gotten off the ground; but a LOT has changed since then including a more inviting regulatory backdrop in the US, as well as a far better user experience for claiming, custodying and trading tokens, which didn’t exist until recently. as a reminder, the $REKT token foundation currently owns roughly 33% of the supply, which at today’s market cap of $99m is worth $33m - these are tokens that the foundation has at its disposal to reward those who buy drinks, products, community etc etc. the way i explain it to the trad drinks industry is that it’s a marketing budget, or a “user acquisition budget”. even though $REKT is down 82% from the highs, $33m is still a huge budget (and indeed the value of this budget was $200m at one point). now, the goal here is two-fold: 1. can we create a simple process where normies can go into a store, physically buy @rektdrinks, and then claim their coins with minimal friction? 2. can we do this in a way where we can demonstrate that it is “scalable” without creating too much supply/sell pressure on the market? for the first point - i think we’ve figured this out. there are a handful of options, but we’ll be trailing the first one across almost 200 @gianteagle stores in the middle of this month, where customers will be able to buy drinks in store, receive a coupon that’s printed with their receipt, and scan and claim coins on their phone seamlessly. drinks have been rolling out across stores over the last month without any promotions or marketing, and the feedback we’ve had is that sales have been “better than expected”, so next month we’re going to see the true test and impact of launching a $REKT promotion in store. if this “works”, how can we scale it? well, we’ve made our first steps towards working with distributors with a huge portfolio of tier 1 brands and retailers (13,000 retailers actually as i mentioned earlier). the way i see it, if the GE promotion goes well, we have an incredibly unique story to tell to everyone else out there, and the required channels and rails already in place to scale and expand. this also dovetails nicely with our partnership with @fazeesports (a fan base of almost 300m) and our upcoming energy products, which will be another natural targeted distribution channel for what we have coming up. the key here is to be thoughtful and sensible about emissions; ultimately, it is paramount that the growth of the value of $REKT as a result of our success far exceeds the price impact of distributing tokens consumers over time, and this is something we are also laser focused on - it’s more of an art than a science. to extend on that last point, in order to make it work, we also need to improve the liquidity and structure of $REKT as a token. Ethereum mainnet is not the easiest place to have your primary liquidity on, but i still believe that was the right decision for us as we’ve attracted more people with a “hodler mentality”. nonetheless, we will be working closely with the token foundation and their wide resources to improve the liquidity and access to $REKT over the next few weeks and months. i’ve spoken above about our plans for scaling and ultimately selling more drinks across a wider range of channels that we’ve not yet accessed to date, but another main goal of mine is to get a larger proportion of the “crypto investing crowd” into $REKT. as i’ve mentioned a few times, i don’t view other coins or crypto projects as our competitors; i view traditional CPG brands as our competitors. my goal here is to demonstrate a use case of crypto in an industry that has been around for centuries, and show how it can be used to create a real brand and a real business with real revenues. consequently, i want $REKT to feel like it’s something the entire crypto community to get behind…like…a win for @RektDrinks is a win for crypto, because i think if we can make this successful on a large scale, it’s going to bring a lot more eyes and interest to our world. we have specific plans to achieve this, which also combine with our goals to scale, and there’ll be more on that as the year progresses. to summarise, i think we’ve graduated from the FAFO/experimental stage to a clear pathway for growth and success - to me it’s very obvious what we need to do, and how to measure if we are successful, and where the pieces fall in place for us to scale this if we truly are. as i’ve mentioned a few times, Rekt was my sole and only focus last year, and it will continue to be so because i don’t think i will ever have a better opportunity in my life to create something on this scale. gonna be fun to look back on this post in a year’s time. $REKT (i've linked some useful posts below if you're a first-time $REKT researchooor)
