  • Summary

  • In America these days we have become accustomed to the digital scammer, grifter, or hustler who uses the power of technology to get deceive and sometimes — destroy. Netflix and the like, are filled with these epic stories. I’m here to tell you a story that 18 months from now will turn into one of those. Not too many stories touch so many worlds; true-crime, crypto, fine art, the first amendment, and lastly but not least — a great conspiracy theory, cause who doesn’t like that! In any caper or jux, it’s the things below the surface, behind the scenes, that only come to light, when the proverbial stage play is over. The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a shining example of the future of the entertainment business that includes a mix of the Metaverse, with the shrewd hucksterism of Andy Warhol. The story here to tell is a mash-up of all the elements of the political alt-right, mixed with the idea of what is art, clashing with maybe the biggest internet troll of all time! Fyre Festival, Tinder Swindler, Anna Delvey, The Most Hated Man on the Internet, just to name a few all captured the current zeitgeist. The Bored Ape Yacht Club and it’s layered story is the next wave of hoax programming, coming soon to a tv screen near you...

  • ORDER IN THE COURT

    ORDER IN THE COURT
    May 24 2023
    The legal battle between Yuga Labs and Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahan, has come to a conclusion, all the bolstering and posturing of Ryder Ripps around his theories of the Bored Ape Yacht Club has hit a legal precedent. For me, a legal precedent, really means nothing other than Ryder was trying to poke the proverbial bear in the Bored Ape Yacht Club leadership, the sheer fact that it has gone this far says something. In The lawsuit Yuga Labs accused Ryder of trademark infringement over a parody of BAYC’s non-fungible token (NFT) collection. On Friday, a California court said that Yuga was entitled to protect the BAYC trademark and that Ripps and Cahen’s project, known as RR/BAYC, isn’t artistic expression protected by the First Amendment. “Defendants’ sale of RR/BAYC NFTs is no more artistic than the sale of a counterfeit handbag,” wrote US District Judge John Walter in a summary judgment. To me the judgement seems shortsighted, it seems like a judgment made without understanding the nuances or the fundamentals of NFTs and Ryders argument.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  • RYDER STILL RIPPIN'

    RYDER STILL RIPPIN'
    May 17 2023
    When I started to research, and dive into the Bored Ape story, I have to admit, while the founders of the Apes seemed mysterious, to me — the more interesting aspect and character was Ryder Ripps. I got the sense, that he was smart enough and understood the technology behind NFT’s and the blockchain enough, that he could explain this complex world, and also call bullshit, as I mined the caverns of the internet for audio, this interview with Ryder, was a hidden gem of archival, it was honest, and had foresight, and as this story ebbs and flows week to week, I am sure at some point I will bring Ryder on board for an interview.

    THE VOICE OF DISSENT: RYDER RIPPS
    May 17 2023
    The BORED APE’s VS. RYDER RIPPS, it’s an interesting battle to say the least, and I have to be honest, with the current state of NFTs, and the implosion of the marketplace, Ryder is looking like a genius, but it remains to be seen if Ryder is more of an agent provocateur, or was he really privy to knowledge that this Bored Ape fiasco was a scam from jump? It’s hard to say right now, but if I was reading the tea leaves, I would say that there is more bad news on the horizon for Yuga Labs, but first lets listen to some archival footage from the deep caverns of the internet troll farm.
