My first BAYC buy since 22. 👀 Bought this beauty out of ApeStrategy… fOr tHE cuLtUre! :P Caused a buy and 🔥 of 9.2 $ETH of $apestr “Grade me after Apefest” - @CryptoGarga And now a little bored brain dump… I feel really good about the ecosystem here. ApeChain has been alive close to a year and just the appetizer. Collections growing and will grow stronger in @OthersideMeta. $apestr flywheel will kick in on the way up for a feedback loop. $ape proliferating across web3 with project RAID making it more accessible to the masses and in defi @HyperliquidX , ApeChain, @solana and hints at more to come!! I look at this as all roads leading to Otherside and easy accessibility to what could be the biggest protocol in web3 history. A token that is a meme, native chain token + gas, and the currency of the foundation for the largest swing by far we’ve ever seen taken on a decentralized metaverse. The potential was and is MASSIVE. Was when we found out about it in 22 and is still now 3 years later. The market has done its work on it no doubt. Dilution occurred at an incredible rate leading up to this point. Admittedly a year ago, I thought we were headed into alt coin season at the exact moment we were launching @ApeChainHUB and the token did rip… and then we got a hard stop at the top of the cup (see chart) and the $trump and $melania token at the peak of crime season and now we are back where we started… before last Apefest and before the chain was announced. And now we stare into what could be alt season once again, with a fully formed cup and handle (again see chart) staring us in the face. Apefest 20 days away and hints at big things to come. What’s going to happen? I have no idea as I’ve been away from crypto since April and only recently poked my head back in. I can tell you this… I feel the calm before the storm. I own more $ape coin now than when I left, and will continue to accumulate $ape, deeds, Koda’s, BAYC/MAYC, anything I can get my hands on. The team has been punched in the face over and over and yet they get up, and keep grinding, keep building, and see the vision of what’s to come. Web3 will come alive in Otherside and @BoredApeYC will be at the center of it all. I’ll end with this… NEVER FADE YUGA! This is a new era with commited and capable web3 leaders at the helm, to name @CryptoGarga, @_PPMan_, @mfigge, @0xQuit, @imjameshall and more… YES I AM BACK. (Community only) YES I AM BULLISH. TO VALHALLA, Apes and $ape!!
