Fellas,
I want to propose further exploring/expanding upon this thought and idea before making the next purchase. I believe innovation in the DAO space will allow us to stand the test of time. While I do believe it is important we continue our mission to acquire highly coveted blue chip art pieces, I also believe within that paradigm, there is room to innovate.
First, I understand this vote may easily be shot down. I am completely okay with that. I simply ask everyone take a step back, drop their preconceived notions before reading this, and allow an open mind to what I am about to suggest.
Preface: (1) unique marketing is necessary along with a proper incentivized team that is funded (2) the success of the DAO's ability to make purchases right now solely revolves around further opensea's secondary sales volume - this could be viewed as something of risk that we only have this avenue currently (3) we need to further $head utility.
Proposal: under the assumption we have 250-300 ETH to spend 1st - we maintain our roots and acquire another blue chip non-PFP art piece such as another Fidenza or something similar (-130 ETH)
** now here's were the innovation comes **
I think it goes without saying the the BAYC brand is here to stay, we can see that in real time via ape fest and also just by looking at the rolling stone magazine cover this month. I believe the entertainment space will be moving to utilize and leverage this brand and community...so.....
2nd - we hire a very good talent manager/agent for a year from a reputable agency such as WMA (https://wma.agency/) focused solely on maximizing our digital IP and bringing them to life in other aspects of the entertainment business which would allow us to (1) generate revenue outside of opensea from the agent getting our IP casted in shows [https://news.yahoo.com/bored-ape-yacht-club-turns-230455170.html] (2) provide utility for head via partnerships the agent creates with brands and (3) maintain activity and publicity and hype during the entire year the agent is working on the DAOs behalf even through slow periods or bear markets as we will have frequent news (-20 eth - although this may be possible to use from the 2.5% fee rather than 7.5% fee)
3rd - we acquire a second bored ape, now giving us 2 total (-33 ETH)
4th - we acquire 10 MAYCS off the floor (-37 ETH)
5th- we acquire a Jenkins the Valet: writers room YACHT pass to give us 219 votes in the writers room board for BAYC use. (-20 eth)
** at this point I am going to pause spending to explain **
by following the procedure above, we now have another massive art blocks or similar in statue purchase for virality on social media. second, we have created a very innovative step for a DAO and by hiring a talent agent, acquiring another BAYC and a set of MAYCs we would have 2 BAYC and a bunch of MAYC which the talent agent could use to leverage network deals, etc. this (1) create buzz/hype around the innovation (2) makes us standout and provide longevity and (3) reduce our risk of only have revenue stemming from opensea and enable our assets to work for our money (4) along the agent's journey strike utility deals with brands for head. I think this is worth considering
with the remaining ETH, i would vote that we scoop a good projects floor with a good community that we can then use for social media give aways and things that draw attention to the amazing innovation we would be doing. for this i personally would suggest women and weapons or superlative secret society sweep. Second, if we have a lot remaining, I would also buy another 10 MAYCs to come to 2 BAYCs and 20 MAYCs - a very good basis for casting a show/brand deals.
Doing the above^ would also empower our future marketing team.
Long story short: We stay true to our roots by purchasing another blue chip non-PFP piece, we shift our paradigm slightly to innovate like no other DAO and reduce our long term risks and build our brand and hired boots on the ground working towards something much bigger than any current DAO.
If you think this idea is shit, vote shit :) if you think this idea is worth exploring, vote lets explore :)
I hope you enjoyed this proposal :)
