Last week @jalilwahdat shipped a fix to one of the most famous, storied, and misunderstood bugs in web3/eth/nft history - the ability to safely trade unwrapped @v1punks. For 9 years this has not been possible, and now it is. It's a remarkable achievement.
As a sign of gratitude a number of people are pooling eth to purchase the V1 token for Jalil's Cryptopunk from the original claimer to gift to him and reunite the V1๐คV2 pair. Seemed like that would be a nice gesture.
To facilitate this a I whipped up a little contract that accepts eth (in this case to 0xD7C988727bc47fDCC550F15062286B124f37033D ) up until the goal it met, and refunds anything above that. If the goal isn't met by a set deadline (in this case, end of the month) everyone gets their eth back. Launched this yesterday and it just passed 50% funded.
We could have just had everyone send eth to someone, but thought a trustless contract solution would be more in the spirit of the event, and also now this is available for anyone to use for anything else, with no fees.
If you like to throw in something send eth from a wallet you control (not an exchage) to the address above. To see progress or make your own pool, check out etherpool.app/ or if you want to fork it and do it differently, code is open github.com/seanbonner/etherpโฆ
so let me get this straight
in the last cycle
people didnโt know whether or not
launching a token
would be totally chill
or would be totally jail
because the SEC wasnโt willing to establish modern rules
so to be safe
donโt launch a fungible token in a US jurisdiction
get really good lawyers
who will tell you how to navigate
a mission impossible laser room of jurisdictions
so you donโt get in trouble with your little coin
then someone you donโt know
and will never meet
will launch your tokenโs smart contract in BVI or Panama
or wherever itโs chill to do that
so โyouโ didnโt launch it
for tax purposes the token will get appraised at de minimis
so you donโt get fucked on taxes with a fortune of phantom income at tge
treasury is managed off-shore
by a โFoundationโ
put a DAO in front to advise the Foundation
on how to distribute a token
by voting on different proposals
people organize
beauracratize
and participate in a
pure democracy where the richest people have the most votes
and winners get free money?
but at least thatโs a reason to buy the token
builders try really hard
get disillusioned by proposals
get scorned by other participants
get blamed when its not working
pitchforks
dissolve dao
but then rich people holding tokies to control the ballot have no reason to hold
market sell
price down only
everyone jaded
all because
navigating a grey zone legal landscape
from washington beaureaucrats who didnโt want to set a clear policy
tokie ATL
but now
new leadership
is autistic at simplifying
and thinks a bunch of shit doesnโt make sense
and is going to tear down and rebuild
and streamline everything until its coherent
did I get that right?

The best thing about @AdamWeitsman is that he is not just an NFT whaleโฆ
He is also an OG ape
As an OG ape, he understands ape culture
Heโs shown this over the last couple of days as he:
> acquired j1mmyโs grail gold ape set
> gift Franklin an ape to have him back in the club
Both moves signal knowledge of BAYCโs history AND advocating of BAYCโs future
We are lucky that Adam is one of us!

Whenever you read a glowing โresearchโ around companies in crypto from @CoinDesk, just remember that they probably took $310,000 just to write that good piece of โresearchโ for them
And since BAYC paid them 0, they canโt give BAYC the proper credit ๐
Over the past few years, Iโve 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 โresearchโ around companies in crypto, they also write ragebait headlines that shit on the same industry.
Pretty annoying to see.
Itโs bad journalism to ask for $ 300k+ for an article, and if we donโt 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 canโt be a sustainable model.
So a few weeks ago I opened up a short position on Coindeskโs parent company, Bullish.
This isnโt about money, itโs about principle.
The principle: you canโt 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 canโt.
That was my bet anyway.
Iโve 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 Coindeskโs current approach is bad for our industry.
Congrats Coindesk, youโre now at war with a fucking psycho.
I will relentlessly bearpost this behavior until a representative reaches out to me and assures me that theyโre going to knock this shit off.
Back in the swamp with the @BoredApeYC ๐. Been a minute but I couldn't stay away. Husband never left, now we're both holding again lol. Meet my new mutant ๐ How'd I do?

Holy shit.
He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.
His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.
He never had his hand on a weapon.
Cold blooded murder.

In Edina,Minnesota protesters lined up to buy salt and then return it over and over again and there were 70 to 110 in line doing it to make a statement to Target to stop allowing ICE on their property to detain their employees and customers! โBuy salt melt the ICEโ!

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.
This was a comment I saw under my content. I must sayโฆ Perfectly articulated.

Look, you fuckers.
LOOK.
You fucking fuckwits spending years bashing Yuga just to earn your shitty X payouts should get back on the timeline to fucking apologise.
The 700 other projects that promised metaverses and did NOTHING, ran off with the funds and have been forgotten about will face no scrutiny. No repercussions. No more FUD cause they're no longer relevant.
Yuga have built the biggest iteration of a metaverse yet for EVERYONE to build, play, develop, network and enjoy.
And its all built on crypto rails which you all once cared so passionately about.
The fucking LEAST you can do is acknowledge the intention. The effort. The vision.
If you believe in crypto gaming at all you should be turning to the timeline right now to show support, provide constructive feedback and most of all, USE IT.
Stuff like this proliferates through word of mouth. TikTok shorts. Hearsay about building your own economies and communities whilst providing a space for everyone to come and experiment.
They built the fucker they said they would.
So fucking step up for once in your lives and give credit where it is due instead of following the crowd and fucking show up.
SHOW UP.

well I trusted someone, and I guess I shouldn't have. @Crypto_Gupta took my @v1punks and didn't send the other trade for our agreement. Guess there are still not a lot of trust worthy people in this space. :(
I just claimed my @CyberKongz $KONG airdrop.
I am now retired.
