  Content: Agreed. No brainer… just should ensure there are safegaurds to avoid invoices for DD/Discovery and other traditional legal money pits.

• ApeComms: Simplified by CameronMoulene - No Role
  Posted on: Feb. 20, 2023, 3:45 p.m.
  Content: GMGM LOST, I love the APE acronym, and I think its a great start - basic resources for all $apecoin holders to understand the voting process, simplifying the submission process for AIPs, and likely creating new pools for an accelerator, etc are all needed… But moreover… I hope you’re baking in a budget for FULL TIME customer service members who are troves of information and can always answer these questions. At this stage I think we need to allocate real money towards team members who support curious new community members to learn quickly and confidently to contribute in the same way.

  • Lost: Hey Cameron, That APE acronym came about so naturally that we initially didn’t even realize we had included the words to create it in our original Mission Statement. The concept being that raising awareness for the ongoing activities, initiatives and process changes in ecosystem would lead token holders/non-token holders to seek more education, and in turn end up participating in some way. So we actually started with Awareness - Education - Participation before @Amplify noticed the opportunity to create the acronym there! The scope of this proposal was reduced further from our original proposals in order to address the communities desire to see projects start small and prove they’re capable before moving on to larger initiatives. That said we have been doing this work throughout the proposal processes, since last year, and feel we are capable of growing this initiative if the community votes to agree that there is a fit for the ApeComms deliverables in this market. Thank you for your support, Lost
• AIP-225: Ape Page - One place for everything about your Ape by CameronMoulene - No Role
  Posted on: Feb. 20, 2023, 3:38 p.m.
  Content: Hey hey, Seems like a very cool tool and a great resources for Apes. Not sure what the sustained value to $Apecoin is here, so I’d love to learn more! I think that even if it wasn’t something the DAO invested in, for 125 k its something you could absolutely raise and build, and that the community would embrace it as an awesome reference tool like https://www.otherside-wiki.xyz/

  • MIKER: Hey @CameronMoulene, thanks! That’s a great point, I love otherside-wiki.xyz I think they do a great job as an educational resource. That said, we do believe Ape Page is specifically beneficial for $ApeCoin for several reasons: It provides a platform to describe and showcase all of the different existing mechanics which are powered by ApeCoin (staking, claims, dookey dash boosts, etc.) and will continue to add them as they are introduced. By using ApeCoin as a requirement to keep Ape pages live on a yearly basis, we’re adding sustained utility to ApeCoin in a manner similar to ENS. Also, as @Lost alluded to, if we eventually expand the app into other ecosystems, it creates an incentive to hold $APE for those ecosystems as well. Longer term, as we introduce additional features we plan to use ApeCoin as the primary token for all potential future functionality: rewards, item/bundle sales, otherside compatible NFT mints, etc.

  Content: Atareh, Thank you so much, Fren. As a content creator and a member of BAYC you and others like you would be the FIRST people we would come to for questions around what you’re looking for most, and feedback on which of our ideas get you most excited. I believe this has the potential to be a truly groundbreaking idea - so now, if fortunate enough to be approved it will all come down to execution and working with the community to make it come to life.

  Content: Hey StoicDegen, Firstly - Thank you for saying you love the idea! I think your vision is incredibly close to ours and it’s really exciting how many other Apes and members of the community see the enormous potential. It means a lot, and only reinforces my excitement. Addressing your very thoughtful and valid concerns: We absolutely see this as a platform which will benefit $Apecoin DAO and the broader $APE holding (Yuga) community. I don’t shy away from the reality that this is meant to be a business, but with improved all around value props and Web 3 ethos as core elements. There will be many layers of rewards for existing communities with respect to access and usage on the platform. I think token gating, rewards and added benefits for Apes are a must. I don’t believe that legally the DAO is able to take any equity in platforms it makes grants for, and giving equity back to holders or users in any way (very much) becomes a security. If the DAO were able to ask for an equity piece for the grant - I wouldn’t think twice in saying yes. Transparently, it brings me to another belief that for great ideas to be sustainable in a capitalism, they must play by those rules and have sustainable business models to grow, scale, evolve - BUT they can (and should) have layers of web 3 ethos; such as, anonymity for users, rewards for users, reasonable increases in rev shares for creators and the key contributors to the platforms. One of the fundamental issues we’re seeing now in NFTs is that the vast majority of project did not establish clear business models and have suffered tremendously because of that now that royalties are being wiped out. I would certainly be open (for example) to staking a part of proceeds back into $Apecoin Dao, but I would only do so once we felt we had substantial runway to scale and embrace mass adoption, which should ultimately be the goal of every web 3 company. Once we build something amazing for our core community we MUST onboard new users to increase the value to A. The $Apecoin Dao itself and B. all of the users of the platform who will have a much wider range of content options and audiences to grow their brands. Otherwise, you’re no different that Stoner Cats… and frankly, that was perceived as underwhelming by CryptoNatives and Hollywood alike. As for the sale piece. The company I think would benefit from this platform most is Yuga. Being able to vertically integrate content distribution could be a very exciting prospect for the growth of Yuga in the Media sector and give them an incredible competitor to every other major media conglomerate. That prospect is years out at best, totally hypothetical and my focus right now is building an amazing tool, that I think will both greatly increase $APE transactions and value and utility for holders. I think you’re absolutely right to be asking those questions and as we build this brand we will need to be very thoughtful and strategic about how we bring value back to the community and never lose sight of the core purpose which is to build a better platform for creators and audiences alike, and position $Apecoin at the center of that.

  • StoicDegen: Hi Cameron Thanks for the detailed reply and glad we share similar passions and vision for the potential of your ideas. Let me start by saying I really appreciate the transparency and I believe we need $APE powered businesses outside of Yuga for this to work. I think bootstrap investing this is one of the most challenging things for the DAO because of the current legal/entity structure. I don’t have a good solution to the problem but long term I think the DAO should be looking at setting up a seperate ‘for profit’ accelerator entity that reinvests in ecosystem growth and donates profits back to the DAO or causes directed by the DAO. For now potentially the DAO should ask for a board seats on any entity it bootstraps so that it has some measure of control in the direction of any entity it bootstraps. This is something I plan to keep thinking about. I welcome ideas from yourself and the community. Thanks St01c

  Content: Hey Br 00 no! Thanks for the questions - I appreciate you taking the time. Yes, we absolutely plan on having “powered by apecoin” or something similar prominently focused on the site. "the one thing that ties this to $APE is payments "… this got me thinking… The primary thing tying FIAT to any major industry is payments. Systems which allow for payments and transactional value are the core of a financial ecosystem and attributing value to both the goods exchanged and the currency itself. That is the primary goal. To make $APE a method of payment for entertainment in a creator economy. There are a lot of places to take that in V 2 , 3 etc, but the goal is to build a platform where $APE is a core value to creators and communities in consuming media. I can’t speculate on the future too much - but the main consideration I would have it reducing gas/transaction fees for users. An $APE tethered L 2 solution would be an interesting addition to foster mainstream adoption and ensure ecosystem growth. As of right now we have absolutely no plans to integrate any other currencies onto FOMOtv. I can confidently say we wouldn’t be interested in acquiescing a VC demand of “Use my Token Only for money”… we simply wouldn’t accept the investment. This is meant as a tool for the community that we believe will have huge potential for mainstream audiences. I’ve spoken to many of the founders I’m close with (YUGA included) about this idea, and the response thus far has been overwhelmingly positive. Both AE and NFF have many close VC relationships and we feel confident this is something that they will be very excited about. Replicating this model is doable, but challenging… especially because of community. The power behind the Apecoin/BAYC community is incredible and focusing on optimizing this platform for them is agenda # 1 with the MVP. We want this to be a streaming platform for Otherside gameplay, a Fast Channel hub for creatives within these ecosystems and potentially even an $APE powered launchpad. 5 A. Separately, the technical build is challenging, but not as challenging as onboarding the Network channels and larger advertisers onto the platform, but that’s something (as you mentioned) we feel the combined teams (NFF, WME, AE) are uniquely positioned to do! I would say that my confidence in AE’s ability and creativity is very high given their past work and it’s why we selected them as our partners on this! Thanks again for the thoughtful questions, Cameron

• AIP-223: A Community-First ApeCoin DAO DEX - Ecosystem Fund Allocation by CameronMoulene - No Role
  Posted on: Feb. 17, 2023, 6:31 p.m.
  Content: Alex, Can’t say I think of the deflationary strategies as sustainable longterm, but overall - I think this is a GREAT idea + proposal. Uniswap style liquidity pools and added layers of DeFi can bring a lot of value. I wonder if there isn’t an incentive structure beyond staking that could be innovated here to incentivize people holding $Ape vs another Eth Token. Possibly a cross-chain solution (since that seems to be a budding new Meta that’s coming in full force)… liquidity on AVAX/ SOL/Poly/BTC/ etc can be incentivized to bridge and hold $Ape in some meaningful way in turn bringing more users to the $Apecoin ecosystem. Food For thought… not a DeFi guy. I like the ambitious idea though - you’ll have my support!

  Content: GM ssp 1111 , Thanks for the support! This is the total capital needed to build and scale conservatively and give runway for a VC raise. We would not be asking for any additional capital from the DAO, we would however hope to sustain value for $Apecoin for the lifetime of FomoTV. I’ve attached some interesting sources around the overall Ad market. I think every industry took a, revenue hit in 2022 , and also tried to hedge their risk to a recession/depression… Most of what you’re seeing in the ad market reflects a hangover from that in my opinion. Historically, the first dollars to go in a time of uncertainty are the marketing dollars. I feel confident in following suit to the success of FAST channels + Netflix and Disney transitioning more towards AVOD that their is confidence in the continued 2 . 5 % annual growth of the industry as a whole, and models like ours create an entirely new and exciting opportunity to increase conversion and consumer trust. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I feel confident in those indicators. We also have the OnDemand model as a revenue stream - eventually a launchpad for creators (V 2 ), and maybe even subscription - although it’s not as exciting to me personally right now.
