About time for a thread on why I'm so god damn bullish on @AIPESnft_
Go read it. Or don't. You do you

I can't not start with the art. Our artist/founder/cult leader Kin Gape has created a collection of 11k beautiful pieces of AI artwork using the BAYC + MAYC base images to create her own masterpiece's.
She uses AI to create the image and then has individually touched up by hand all 11k images plus many more which she's burned along the way as didn't meet her standard
Kin is a bit of a mystery in general. Undoxxed but one of the few things we know is that she's recently quit her IRL job to focus on @AIPESnft_
The only other thing we know is that she's a troll. She enjoys having fun with the community and we love her for it
That leads me onto community. A lot of projects say they have the "best" community in web3 and I'd never be so naive as to suggest this. Somehow though an amazing group of people have come together to love this project and it's artwork, it's been a beautiful thing to watch
The project started out looking like a rug and kin cultivated that saying she just wanted lobster and lambo. 4 1/2 months on I'm pretty sure it isn't a rug but this narrative created a community of degens who have fun above all else and love to throw 🖕
So as a rug we had a month long reveal process, I think a total of 10 reveals with each one shuffling the deck. This caused chaos and confusion but also made it a journey. Since final reveal Kin has kept things interesting though...
After reveal Kin realised that some of the Aipes weren't up to her standard so she initiated a swap system. Currently anything listed between .07-09 are eligible to be swapped if Kin feels they're undesirable. The Aipes she changes for are new styles and 🔥🔥🔥
Throughout the collection there is wide range of themes which offer a great diversity in art styles. Recently she has started making the 5k images available to holders in discord. Simply open a high res claim ticket

As of right now the collection isn't fully traited. But we are working on getting that completed by the community. In the mean time certain traits have been found, BAYC flipped brim gang is strong and pretty much fully traited (unless I missed some)
Although just an art based project @AIPESnft_ have recently been added to the list of projects that can be forged (staked) to earn 1% of the FP per month. Not an official partnership but adds some real utility on top of the amazing art
Overall it's been a whirlwind last 4 1/2 months and through this terrible market @AIPESnft_ have held strong and kept having fun. We're not done yet and over time people will realise the art is undervalued (NFA I'm a duck). Let's not forget WE OWN THIS AIPESHIT
