            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a few days ago, Phunks creative director Ryder Ripps accused BAYC of being racist and supporting the symbols of the alternative right. While some holders were quick to dismiss all claims, others were dismayed and conducted a deeper investigation.</p><p>For starters, the first evidence comes from the BAYC logo itself. As Ryder mentioned, the official Bored Ape Yacht logo is similar to the Nazi Waffen Totenkopf. For the uninitiated, Totenkopf represented the elite Waffen-SS (Army Combat Unit) of Nazi Germany during World War II. With this in mind, BAYC fans speculated that similar black and white skull logos were also used by several brands. Thus, the assertion that both logos have visible similarities sparks entirely new discussions.</p><p>According to Twitter user “FedorLinnik”, at least 9 of the 36 hats in BAYC have military overtones. For example, one monkey was wearing a Prussian Pikelhaube helmet. Apparently, the helmet is the most persistent symbol of the aggression of the First World War and the colonial wars.</p><p>In addition, some Twitter users shared photos of monkeys wearing kamikaze headbands (the headbands worn during World War II before mortal battles) and the most recognizable symbol of colonialism, the cork helmet.</p><p>There is no doubt that some of the statements and evidence are unfounded. Eventually, the time for comment coincided with Bored Ape’s conquest in first place after the crypto-punks’ floor price coup. However, nowadays it is difficult for people to completely ignore all the evidence.</p><p>Even so, reality is now just a matter of what people choose to believe. Demonstrating that many facts will affect BAYC’s reputation. In fact, some monkey owners have already desperately started selling their monkeys.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Introduction: Opportunity for Wealth in the Cryptoverse</p><p>Nowhere else on Earth will you find similar types of gains in the cryptoverse. It is a fact, that the opportunity for wealth here is so immense that it creates dreams of unprecedented wealth even for those with a common life. Combine this with explosive price actions and hype, lots of attention and adoption are drawn into the space on a regular basis, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the entire human existence.</p><p>However, while everybody thinks crypto is the go-to place to make millions, it is also where entire financial life and fortune are ruined and lost. As a nascent space, crypto is warned with a lot of risks, even in a bull market, yet it is intriguing to see people pilling themselves up, thinking this is the only opportunity to escape the rat race and hence better their life. This kind of mentality does make me wonder what the hell is wrong with the current world we are all living in.</p><p>The Reality of The Current System</p><p>The truth is you can’t blame them. In the legacy system, so much wrongs are to be found that clouded their ability to judge and search for opportunities. People are enslaved to the system, both in the physical and in the digital world. They live most of their life in accordance to the work and spend cycle, conforming and following the exact same path of life as everybody else under the promise of security and happiness. In exchange, they have to give up their freedom to those who stay in the highest positions of power.</p><p>Either by forces or by influences, every human society trends toward a structure with a few in control of the majority. While this is natural to the existence of human beings, it is also what creates much of the sufferings and injustice we see throughout all human history. Being power-hungry and driven creatures, we form hierarchical structures to ensure the best cooperation between each other, yet when societies and networks expand beyond our consciousness, power tends to overconcentrate in entities that then often become corrupted, oppressive and unaccountable.</p><p>Centralization of Power</p><p>Reflecting on this, we can see the same presence in some of the strongest nations in the world today. When power is abused by a centralized entity, someone must suffer. If not those at the top, the price will have to be paid by those at the bottom, and this is often the case. We see this time and time over again, with the final fate of most society leading towards intolerance, civil war and eventually the collapse of the entire system.</p><p>The same can be said to the digital society today, though the difference is those in positions of power are untouchable and divine. They play the role of Gods, influencing the lives of millions and billions each year without us having a voice-over, yet we all have come to accept it because we have no other choice.</p><p>Despite all of these, people are still chasing the same damn things that make them slaves in the old system. Thinking by somehow riching off from crypto or any new innovation will make them more free and live more comfortably. This is only a delusion painted by the lies of consumerism and power-hungry culture. In a centralized system, you are neither free nor rich, you are either the few powerful or the majority powerless.</p><p>Faith in The New System</p><p>Understanding this is the first step in understanding why the world of crypto is so disruptive and why the opportunity for wealth here is so real. Wealth does not magically exist. It comes with and from people who came collectively with the same mindset, same vision and set out to do the same goal: to make a difference in the world, to build something that breaks away from the power structure of the legacy system and to create a place where fairness and freedom lie at the heart of the system.</p><p>Crypto was never made to make you RICH. Crypto was made to make you FREE. This is the vision of Satoshi for what a decentralized, trustless, permissionless and censorship-resistant system would bring to the future of humanity: A world where we all have a choice, to either give away control of our life to someone else or be the one who dictates our own fate.</p><p>Many of us realized we do not need banks, institutions and corporations to be our responsible. Many of us realized we do not need centralized entities to tell us what to do and what not to do with our life. Many of us realized that we can decide things for ourselves, and that is something we are not offered in the current system. With crypto, we have A CHOICE, and as there exists a demand for having this choice, the market responds with growth and opportunity to where it is offered.</p><p>Becoming Successful In The Cryptoverse</p><p>Understanding this is crucial to becoming successful in the space. Those who do not stick around will never win big or win at all because their minds are still plugged into the old system. The biggest winners of the space are those who understand the value proposition and turn themselves to this beautiful vision and dedicate their lives to make it a reality either through long-term capitals, through their voices and their words or through their own hands.</p><p>Without courage, there is no freedom. Without freedom, there is no opportunity. What is offered as protection in the centralized world is in disguise of restriction, to limit the rate of innovation and revolution that are happening through crypto. They will doubt our success and they will question our authenticity to change the world. But we show them why we are better and why we had to be better, and by believing and dedicating to this space, we ultimately win by bringing equal opportunities to all human beings, while expanding the potentials of human kinds instead of limiting them like in the legacy system.</p><p>TLDR: Conclusion</p><p>Those who understand the purpose of the cryptoverse will ultimately understand the opportunity for wealth that comes with it. And for as long as we, the people, come together to push it into existence, crypto will not be a single opportunity but an opportunity of a lifetime for all of us human beings. Crypto is here to stay.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a few weeks ago, we were all met with a pleasant surprise, our greatest Christmas Gift of all, $SOS! A token built on decentralized governance rewarded to those who participated on the OpenSea platform. The team behind $SOS &amp; @9x9x9eth have been working diligently, against the grain, and pushing the boundaries of what is expected, making luminous history. This free governance token is setting a new standard in the Space.</p><p>The legend started with the liquidity charge from an anonymous “Big Fish”. As if this Big Fish was in the know as what was about to happen, a large supply of ETH and $SOS was supplied to the OpenDAO Liquidity Pool. Naturally, this pinged some coin pumpers and small cap enthusiasts, and kicked off the buzz of what is now $SOS, and the ability to claim this new Token.</p><p>The OpenDAO and $SOS team are setting precedent for all governance tokens of this kind. With no VC or Team allocations, and an against the grain “anti-centralization platform”, people are excited. The decentralized nature of the token itself created buzz within the Space. To top this off, @9x9x9eth allocated his personal assets to the Liquidity Pool to bootstrap the Token.</p><p>This created a ripple effect among influencers and whales, who came charging in to provide more liquidity, allowing smaller player to convert $SOS into Ethereum and trade NFTs on OpenSea.</p><p>This entire event has kickstarted an NFT bull-run and, and we are being faced with new innovative ideas and precedents set by the $SOS Governance and ideology.</p><p>The ChubbyKaijuDAO Team focused on the positive upside and potential the $SOS governance allows for all participants, rather than paying attention to who wrote the script for “perfect storm” that kick-started this new NFT bull run.</p><p>In other words, we are inspired, and we see the vision that they are building upon. The behaviour of the Team, fundamental ideology of the governance, and the power of decentralization has motivated the Chubby Team to a whole new level.</p><p>After a few days of observing the monumental success of the OpenDAO project, our team, which originally was palling a new gamified NFT Project in the wolf.game style, abandoned the existing implementation and pivoted into a new business plan that could integrate and expand upon the $SOS Ecosystem, embracing what OpenDAO has blessed us with.</p><p>Exercising suffrage for the OpenDAO democracy as a top40 $SOS holderTo deliver on the promise of adding to the $SOS ecosystem, and to create our own footprint in the ecosystem, the Chubby Kaiju Devs will transfer a total of 100 Ethereum (Hard coded into the contract) into the ChubbyKaijuDAO Treasury, which will be governed by the Kaiju (1 Kaiju = 1 vote) to purchase $SOS.</p><p>All Kaiju’s will play a fundamental role in exercising their Democratic voting rights through their votes, represented by their Kaiju NFT. The DAO Treasury voting will be held on snapshot.org, and through a true Democratic DAO, the Chubby Kaiju will create a positive impact on the $SOS Ecosystem.</p><p>Resolving the inherent problem of OpenDAO by implementing the Indirect democracy.One negative OpenDAO faced was the transparency problem of the community wallet. To resolve their issue, they immediately held a vote to decide the gnosis multi-signature owners, but in our view, it was a problem that could have been avoided with more structured planning. It’s not that the elected candidates aren’t legit, because they sure as hell are. The problem was the participation rate of people exercising their voting rights. Only 22.3% of participation was found on a vote relating to an issue large enough to cause the project to (Reference 1), and the recent airdrop window voting showed a participation rate of about 5% (Reference 2).</p><p>In fact, this result was predictable! Since OpenDAO adopts a very primitive democracy, it is virtually impossible for everyone’s voice to be truly reflected in the direction of the DAO’s operation unless all citizens are politicians. And this leads to the structure of the ChubbyKaijuDAO, indirect democracy . This means that although each Kaiju represents 1 vote, and there are 3,333 per country, they entrust their FINAL VOTE in the hands of their respective Kaiju Kings/Queens, who sign the multi-sig protocol on their behalf, after voting the King/Queens into power through Democratic voting.</p><p>So to mitigate this problem and implement an indirect democracy, there will be a total of three countries in the Chubby Kaiju metaverse, and every kaiju periodically elects a representative of the country to which it belongs. The representatives elected in this way has the duty and authority to work for in the best interest of the $SOS ecosystem and inner-group issues as passionate political leaders, in the best interest of their Kaiju constituents.</p><p>In the traditional world, you walk into an interview with shiny resume, and you try to shill your way into a job. In the spirit of OpenDAO, nobody cares if you are a short, tall, male, female, complexity of your skin, or the car you drive. Show drive, build, improve, grow, and the governance will control itself.</p><ul><li><p>Mind Shift 2, OpenDAO (Reference3)</p></li><li><p>OpenDAO already suggested the new normal on the upcoming web3 era. All the important thing is to execute and deliver, not who they are. The focus is on decentralized governance, “power to the people”. The KaijuDAO is by the people, for the people.</p></li><li><p>After the ChubbyKaijuDAO Project Launch, there will be no central power (Dev Team) who controls the KaijuDAO Treasury. The team will relinquish voting rights and multi-sig protocols to a temporary unit, voted in through our discord &amp; a few acting members from the greater NFT community. ALL decisions regarding the Kaiju metaverse and $SOS ecosystem are made by ChubbyKaijuDAO.</p></li><li><p>Note that, “no central power” does not mean that “devs do not do something”. Devs will be one of the contributors of the DAO, and they will be in front of community members via periodical AMA, Discord, Twitter, and constant communication with the Chubby Kaiju Community, they are now constituents of the DAO and will deliver on the DAO requirements to further develop the product, Kaiju brand, and possibilities in the future for the Chubby Kaiju.</p></li><li><p>Different things to the existing NFT projects are following:(1) All decisions are made by the DAO — the only decisions suggested by three representatives of each country are valid, and if it’s a serious issue, the voting of all Kaijus via “snapshot.org” will be required.(2) Contributors do work as the DAO votes(3) All potential contributors can participate in the growth, development, and direction of the DAO and Project. If you are reading this, you are early.</p></li><li><p>As an act of good faith for our Community and to show that we are serious about an honest DAO transition of assets, we are recruiting a temporary team of respected individuals in the NFT Space &amp; Kaiju Community members as temporary gnosis multi-signature owners. The Minting contract has also been examined thoroughly by multiple parties, devs, a member of BAYC, and it has been delivered to our…. Soon to be announced COLLAB!</p></li><li><p>Current Core Members of this Project are:Founder: @YosepArtHead Moderator: @JAMPZERSolid Dev: @GregoryFront-End Dev: @Ayaan</p></li><li><p>Yosep is a South Korean man who built a DAO in OpenDAO concept to build a collective intelligence to vote on the direction on $SOS ecosystem. He suggested a three-power indirect democratic DAO, and designed cute Kaiju arts with his little brother. Because Yosep is not a native English, he reached to JAMPZER on Twitter for help brainstorming ideas and help communicate his ideas and thoughts. JAMPZER, fascinated in the art and concept, soon became a sincere friend, and became more involved, taking on a role of Relations &amp; Marketing, and now JAMPZER is the acting voice and communicator of the Project, as many of you know. And Gregory and Ayaan are supporting technical parts including the contract and front-end implementation for the project.</p></li><li><p>Official Twitter: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://twitter.com/ChubbyKaijuDAOOfficial">https://twitter.com/ChubbyKaijuDAOOfficial</a> Discord: discord.gg/chubbykaijuDAO</p></li><li><p>*Reference 1: Election for Gnosis safe Multi-Sig Wallet Voting (9.1 trillion voted / total 40.8 trillion)*Reference 2: SOSIP-3-Reduce airdrop claiming window (2.6 trillion voted / total 40.8 trillion)*Reference 3: OpenDAO Notion</p></li><li><br></li></ul>]]></content:encoded>
