ApeCoin (APE)

Be like Garga. > start as a book editor > text an old friend “let’s make an NFT” > find a couple of devs to help you out > together create the most successful NFT project of all time > raise $450M with $4B valuation for Yuga > hire 2 CEOs from the outside to help put structure > airdrop holders $APE worth $3.5B, making it the 2nd biggest airdrop of all time > launch a metaverse project whose mint crashed ETH blockchain > acquire more NFT projects under Yuga > see Yuga be too big too fast > see your other co-founders leave or step back from Yuga for various reasons > stay as Chairman of the Board anyway > see that the company lost its soul > step back into a more active role as CEO to right the ship during the most tumultuous time for BAYC > promote Figge, an OG ape & mind behind 10KTF, as your COO > streamline focus for Yuga into just 3: BAYC, Otherside, & $APE > offload other projects that doesn’t align to this renewed focus > finally ship a metaverse that’s open 24/7 > form ApeCo to oversee $APE > firm up

A few weeks ago I stepped up and became CEO at Yuga. I joined BAYC in June 2021. Anyone who was around back then will never forget that ride: Doggo airdrop, mutant mint, casino night, and the first Apefest - it was a slingshot out of the pandemic and into a new frontier. Over the past year I’ve been sharpening the focus on Otherside. As CEO, my goal is to extend that discipline across all of Yuga. BAYC is the best club on the internet. The Club needs to be part of your world, not just your timeline. We’ll be doing way more stuff together as a club - meetups, moments, access, apparel. I see all of this guided by three pillars: IRL, Storytelling, and Style. While I’m handling operations, I’m excited that Garga will be freed up to be going deeper on the BAYC creative and world-building he’s always been best at. With Otherside, we’re developing a world class social platform for digital ownership and crypto. People will explore Otherdeeds, compete for resources, and build their own experiences. To win, we’r

Some news to share: After serving as CEO the past couple years, I’m moving into the role of Chairman of the Board, and @mfigge will become Yuga’s next CEO. Figge is the absolute best person for the job. There’s no one I trust more to lead Yuga through this next chapter. He’s relentless about product quality, he thinks longterm, and he knows how to take a vision and make it real. His work on Otherside the past year is proof of that, and you haven’t seen the half of it. And I’ve loved watching Figge get his hands dirty in the world of BAYC over the last few weeks. The club is better for it. Creative direction, writing, and figuring out insane ideas is still where I do my best work. And with Figge taking over the CEO role, I get to go back to it. I can’t wait for what Yuga builds next.
