Here’s the tl;dr:

We made a huge fuss about how Dutch Auctions were bullshit and how our approach would be better.

But in fact, our mint was the actual bullshit part.

We knew there were was more demand than there was supply but we still wrote this long ass post about how there will be a “Wave 2” and “Wave 3”… all in all it was all BS

We knew that other teams had already solved gas optimizations. But we are Yuga, and we don’t like to follow any other projects, even if that means we will be wasting 100s of millions of our supporters money. Fuck collaboration.

We knew that we could have done a lottery system, or a 1 mint per wallet limit… but then there would have been no historical gas war.. and we love making history.. so fuck that too.

We will now post some bullshit about how this is Ethereums fault and how we will move Ape coin to a new chain… this is just some steaming bullshit to divert blame.

In fact this whole thing was, as we said earlier, actually bull shit.
