29/11/2022 NFT NEWS: Trial of Jimmy The Monkey Coming on Christmas

The Bored Ape Yacht Club roadmap resumes on Christmas Day!

The Trial of Jimmy The Monkey is coming on Christmas,according to a tweet from the Bored Ape Yacht Club on Thursday afternoon.

The cryptic tweet contains only an image of what appears to be a jewelry box, presumably locked and clasped by Jimmy The Monkey’s hands. Depicted on both sides of the lock appear to be hieroglyphic-like fighting scenes.

The tweet has only fueled additional speculation about exactly what Jimmy The Monkey’s trial will entail. The plot point was initially unveiled when Bored Ape Yacht Club unveiled its “Roadmap 2.0” in September 2021.

The roadmap item displays Jimmy handcuffed and staked in place with a nearby placard that reads “The Trial of Jimmy The Monkey (MD vs. MMI: The Prologue).”

Yuga Labs has not yet divulged the exact meaning of “MD vs. MMI” either, but many speculate it relates to a competition or battle between two camps, likely in a game. That speculation would coincide in a timely mannerwith the recent hiring of Yuga Labs’ first Chief Gaming Officer, Spencer Tucker.

The initial community response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many replies to the tweet expressing unbridled excitement.

Since the project’s inception, Jimmy The Monkey has quietly played a small role in the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem, but no formal origin story or lore has been shared. Instead, Jimmy has been held in the background, playing a minor mischievous part in some early Yuga Labs puzzles.

Despite expectations of a quiet day in NFTs thanks to the American holiday, the news has led to a major volume boost for Bored Ape Kennel Club in particular.

The first BAYC companion is up more than 13% on the day to 5.1 ETH, having traded nearly 1,000 ETH on OpenSea alone in the last 24 hours. That volume also includes a curious 20 ETH golden BAKC sale which took place nearly four hours prior to the official announcement. The new owner added one other BAKC for 4.98 ETH, but otherwise had no activity on OpenSea in more than seven months.

Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.

Pending Gerbil #10/23
The #PendingGerbil drew his breath nervously. Fail Dropped Dropped and Replaced There were nothing in this world he feared more. He looked at the chords that crossed the abyss in front of him. They were loaded with pending gerbils, clinging for their life. No open space to be seen. The world machine creaked under the load. As the wheel turned and settled on a new block with a load bang, the chords vibrated, and short shrieks were heard as tired paws lost their grip and the gerbils fell into oblivion. #PendingGerbil closed his eyes, sent a short prayer to @VitalikButerin, and took the leap.

trump 2020
This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.
