E11EVEN Partners, the company behind the high-profile E11EVEN Miami nightclub, announced Monday that it purchased Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) #11 for 99 ETH ($396,000).

“After studying BAYC for some time, we started to notice traits that resonated with E11EVEN. Believe it or not, our favorite Ape just happened to be #11," E11EVEN Partners owner Michael Simkins told The Block in an email.

Simkins said his firm contacted the owner of the non-fungible token (NFT) via Discord. "At first they were hesitant to sell, but after some back and forth we were able to come to a mutual agreement," he said.

Simkins added E11EVEN is “excited about exploring marketing opportunities” with BAYC #11. This is its first purchase of an NFT.

The nightclub has already processed over $4 million in cryptocurrency payments since it first began accepting crypto in April of this year, according to arelease.E11EVEN also announced in October that its real estate arm, E11EVEN Hotels and Residencies, has partnered with the crypto exchange giantFTXto begin accepting cryptocurrency for luxury high-rises and residential transactions.

Miami has become ahub for crypto companies,thanks in large part to its crypto-friendly mayor, Francis Suarez, and local tax policies that allow firms to forgo paying property taxes for a long period of time.

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.

The Investor's Dream
The second "Visual Toy" about cryptocurrency and its universe that continues the exclusive collection on this theme. After the first Visual Toy, dedicated to the cryptocurrency itself, this visual toy is the other side of the coin. It represents, as its title tells us, the investor's dream, the current person and his financial hopes. A surreal fantasy of the dreams and longings of every investor, in this case the crypto investor. In this magical, happy and colorful dream, aspirations of all kinds intermingle, both the desire for great benefits, represented in a long animation that shows us a production cycle or series production that ranges from the gastronomic recipe of a two-ingredient cake. Bitcoin slice and Ethereum smoothie, passing through magic, represented in a fairy that transforms the cake into real money, which is sucked into a giant capsule to accumulate it and multiply it. The rest is full of investor aspirations, which appear in their dreams in the form of profits or screens that announce that values are rising steadily, as well as physical possessions, such as the sailboat, the helicopter, homes and other objects or possibilities. A dream full of happiness, fun and hope.
