does this thing work how are you doing man hey why do I see how was the how was the pop-up doing really really good uh we started the the war map I guess before the apes yesterday uh legends such as read our digital bag and elok some other ones uh stop by it was amazing uh we're now folding the clothes and trying to clean everything up but uh oh good man all super excited went well it was uh it was such a great vibe I'm uh completely tired I have no idea how how I find energy for apes uh but you know we still have few more days uh and you know me I can get the energy levels uh boosted by meeting new people and having fun and just enjoying but we miss you here bro I still thought that you would just you know even read I was saying like he's coming that motherfucker he's coming I know that I know that so yeah didn't happen or where you dock somewhere like uh uh uh un-docs no no no but you know congrats on that pop-up bro it looks incredible um I think uh it's I think it's actually great start for the apes right start in NYC have fun there and and fly to Charleston uh when you go in actually yeah I'm flying to uh Tennessee for a night on Thursday and then I'll fly to Charleston so I'll be there just Friday and Saturday and I'm gonna fly back on Sunday so this time it's like the the shortest apes for me uh but I'm going on my own which is uh of course I will never be alone uh because uh there is so many legends even here in the audience that I'm gonna be uh be seen but uh I'm going on my own for the very first time which is pretty new for me but uh yeah well uh well what what can we do right I know I know but I think people studio will be absolutely insane man and also people got his ape I think yesterday or day before uh he got his ape he's ready I think everyone is ready and I think the the design of that studio will be absolutely nuts and Figgie mentioned Octagon you know uh Figgie mentioned Octagon I'm a huge fan of movie all school and Tino you are the blue you are the blue so please don't die your movie references I miss those yeah I mean I'm yeah I'm I'm not that much into this stuff you know like I'm I'm too old for this shit I know I know but guys there are four days full of events uh maybe Baron I will start with you like uh is there anything that you are most uh oh yo easier uh that you are most excited about uh in the you know upcoming days because every ape fest we talk about it every year we talk we talk about the same topic every ape fest is different right like first ape fest you know that was crazy I wasn't there because of COVID but I saw the videos and it was it was different second ape fest NYC peer 17 four nights of music we were there with Tino we were like holy shit it's insane third ape fest was Hong Kong that was also crazy oh my god Hong Kong was so insane the the culture difference and the food and everything around oh my god Lisbon damn wasn't Lisbon also incredible uh Las Vegas you know we went down there in a con drought hotel and we always play uh slot machines every night Tino, Dan and other friends else amazing on the way to elevator spending 50 bucks exactly and now we have Charleston it's it's again different you know it's got to be different vibe different town different experience and that's what I love about it so Baron anything you are excited the most about the next few days yes and get it be more specific uh no you know what I will say I am sad that you're not going to be there I look forward to our annual dinners that that we've kind of made a tradition over the last few years so uh we'll have to print out a picture of you or something and like bring it when we when we sit down and break bread with the other homies um this is going to be a special one guys it's going to be a particular you know all of them are special in their own way you know like as I look back at the the first one the second one uh I didn't make it to Hong Kong but then Lisbon and Vegas and and now this one it's they've all like you said they've had their own signature their own unique energy excitement you know whatever you may call it but I think this one is gonna be it's hard to quantify it like any other they're all uniquely special this one's gonna be sick it's gonna be super fun there's a lot of stuff that's gonna be happening uh I'm just looking over the final updated uh event calendar that's gonna go up later today there's a lot going on I'm I I almost wish that I could go to all of it I'm looking forward to some of the side events um but I see figures up here so I'm definitely not gonna say anything that's gonna compromise anything I know you're trying to get me grateful try to give me a trouble dog I'm good GM everybody um I just want to pop up here and do my PSA because we're kind of um we've got eight fest I'm super stoked about it but we've got a curveball in the space as always um just to catch everybody up uh yesterday blur announced that they're gonna stop in a month um so that's November 12th about 30 days but along with the marketplace their loan product which is uh blend is also gonna stop and blend is how a lot of NFT holders in the space borrow and get liquidity against their NFTs there's 135 board apes that have loans against them 170 mutant naps that have loans against them and one of the tricky things about the way that blend is designed and this isn't the greatest in my opinion this isn't the greatest like way to do lending but like lenders can call loans at any time so when I saw this news a lot of the lenders started calling their loans and the way that that time span works is like it it's tough because the borrower has like 30 hours from one alone is called like the borrower's 30 hours to true up and that's very that's comparatively you know like if you think about like a home loan or something like 30 hours is like very tough to me so you know in the last kind of 12 hours roughly 75 board apelons 100 mutant loans have been called and you know the the timer starts for those right so I just want to get the word out like most of the risk is actually concentrated in the loans of the folks that have above 85% LTV exposure so if you borrowed more than 85% against your ape or you borrowed like 80% in the price drop the little bit now you're over 85 that's where the majority of the risk is but it's the minority of the amount of loans the healthy part of the loans which are like 70% are below
