$Ape coin makes a splash

Liquidity came to Bored Ape holders in a big way! In one of the worst kept secrets, Ape coin was launched earlier this month. So many have already claimed, I don’t need to address the specifics. I’m sure you have heard all about it by now.

Personally, I was on vacation when it launched, hoping it didn’t fall apart before I arrived back home and would be able to claim as a Mutant Ape holder.

From these wise words I adopted the idea that the three sweetest words in the English language are “passive residual income”. That is the dream, right? Sitting on a tropical beach somewhere sipping a mojito knowing that while you are living the life of leisure, you are still getting paid. The picture painted by about every get rich quick scheme known to man, but the dream lives on. … Continue readingMy Journey- Real Estate to Crypto
