A house in Los Angeles, California features some unique wallpaper and could be the ultimate place to call home for a lover of cryptocurrency and/or non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Here are the details on the Crypto House real estate listing.

What Happened: Nicknamed the “Crypto House,” the Los Angeles home features wallpaper from several of the most popular cryptocurrencies and also has images of NFTs from the CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club collections, two of the most popular NFT projects.

“The Crypto House is your destination for all things NFT and cryptocurrency. With bright accents and unique tones/furniture choices, The Crypto House is an all-in-one set for content creation and a comfortable and accommodating place to call home while exploring the city of angels,” a description reads.

The house features four bedrooms and three bathrooms and has a listed size of 2,012 square feet. The backyard of the home features a pool and an outdoor area fit for entertaining.

Wallpaper inside the house features the logos for Bitcoin BTC/USD, Ethereum ETH/USD and Dogecoin DOGE/USD. Another room features wallpaper of tweets that discuss cryptocurrency.

Images from Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks can also be found on the walls of the house.

The Home Listing: A listing for the house on Zillow Group Inc Z calls the home “an incredible opportunity for first-time home buyers, developers, and/or investors.”

The listing says the house has recent updates and is located in a “highly desirable pocket of North Hollywood.” The home’s address is 12201 Crewe St, North Hollywood, CA 91605.

Originally listed with a sale price of $1.2 million in October 2022, the home has now seen several price cuts in November, December and most recently on Jan. 5, 2023.

The house is now listed with a price of $949,000. Zillow lists a Zestimate, or estimate for the home based on comparable houses in the area and features, of $941,744.

For those interested in checking out the house or renting it, you are in luck. The dwelling is featured on home rental sites like Airbnb Inc ABNB and Vrbo, owned by Expedia Group Inc EXPE.

“Welcome to the crypto house! We are a hand crafted curated house for all nft and crypto lovers! If you just want to shoot some content or stay at a unique place like no other we welcome all,” the description on Airbnb reads.

The home’s owner Elle Levy previously told Newsweek that the house’s primary function was to become an Airbnb.

“The whole reason behind it was for people to have a place where they can shoot cool content in [Los Angeles],” Levy said.

She spent around six months renovating the interior of the home.

While she is selling the Crypto House, Levy said she plans to open other short-term rentals with different themes across the United States for people to have “amazing content for their social media.” This could include the launch of a new Crypto House in another market.

“I’m not closing the chapter on Crypto House, per se. Just at that location.”

• The latest data reveals that the price of Cardano Ape NFTs has shot up in comparison to the popular Bored Ape NFTs.

The Cardano ecosystem has witnessed fast growth in the world of Web3 and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Cardano blockchain is slowly becoming a go-to platform for different players to launch their non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Interestingly, the demand for Cardano Apes has shot up recently driving the prices even higher. As per the latest details shared by wab.eth Cardano Ape Francisque sold for a massive $250,000 putting them in a direct comparison with the very popular Bored Ape NFTs. The interesting part is that such development comes at a time of a very strong bear market sentiment.

There are cardano apes selling for almost the same price as bored apes.

NFT Projects launched on the Cardano blockchain have seen very good traction in recent times. The Ape Society, Cardano’s biggest NFT project has witnessed a strong user demand with the floor price of its NFTs reaching a record high of 10,000 ADA.

The volume of NFT transactions on the Cardano blockchain platform is also reaching a new high. Also, the key developments and upgrades taking place on the Cardano blockchain have facilitated the sale of NFTs in a much better way.

Although Cardano continues to make some major progress in the crypto space, the project isn’t getting enough coverage from peers in the same industry. Crypto exchange Coinbase recently published a report for its 2023 Crypto Market Outlook, however, there was no mention of Cardano in it. Cardano chief Charles Hoskinson expressed his disappointment over the matter.

Not a single mention of Cardano. Pretty low and pretty sad. I honestly expected better pic.twitter.com/0VHSdm5A2H

However, Blockchain analytics firm Messari recently published a 168-page report dubbed “The Crypto Theses for 2023” wherein it talks of key crypto areas to watch for in the upcoming year. The report does have a mention regarding Cardano.

Cardano Shark Addresses Accumulating ADA

Despite the recent developments in the Cardano ecosystem, it hasn’t been much reflected in the ADA price. In fact, Cardano’s native crypto ADA has been constantly under selling pressure in tandem with the broader market’s negative sentiment.

But on-chain data shows that ADA believers have been accumulating the cryptocurrency despite the current drop in its price. On-chain data provider Santiment noted that the Cardano shark addresses have accumulated 330 million more ADA coins ever since the implosion of the crypto exchange FTX. It added:

Key #Cardano sharks have been accumulating steadily since June. And they have taken this level of dip buying to a new level since the #FTX fallout in early November. Addresses holding 10k to 100k $ADA have added $83M worth of coins since November 7th.

The Cardano foundation recently published a report sharing the highlights for the year 2022. The report notes that this year in 2022, the Plutus smart contract scripts jumped by 400% in comparison to the previous year. the total number of Plutus smart contract scripts this year has jumped to 4,445.

A Los Angeles homeowner who rehabbed her Hollywood house into a crypto bro’s dream palace has listed her home for $1.2 million.

And like the murals of NFTs that line the walls in each of its three bedrooms, this is one of a kind.

The listing says the home is “priced to sell,” complete with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a detached bonus room and all the furniture.

What’s absent from the listing is any mention of the story told by the walls, which include homages to the NFTs — or non-fungible tokens — that traded for nearly unimaginable amounts of money during the height of cryptocurrency.

In the dining room, a whole cast of dozens of bored-looking, painted apes surrounds the table, a recreation of the primates in the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Head into the living room where the purple furniture, fireplace and mantle sit among paintings of CryptoPunks that sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars or sometimes much more.

The walls of one bedroom are lined with images of real tweets of people talking about trading NFTs and another is home to the infamously goofy-looking Shiba Inu that’s the mascot of the Dogecoin meme stock. 

The unique nature of the home attracted a post by the social media account Zillow Gone Wild, which features unique and sometimes outlandish real estate listings.

According to news outlet dot.LA, the seller is Elle Levy who became entrenched in the world of crypto in 2017 before she retrofitted the home into a series of them.

The abode became an obvious choice for Levy to rent out as a short-term rental, as Airbnb investors increasingly design one-of-a-kind homes with the goal of fetching higher nightly rates and more occupants.

The success of Levy’s Crypto House as a short-term rental led to issues with her neighbors, she told dot.LA, which is why she’s selling. (She plans to recreate the home elsewhere.)

The outlet reported that Levy bought the home in 2016 for $500,000. That’s a 140 percent increase in six years. Not bad; but it’s no crypto.

There have been plenty of tokens that have made people rich over the last few years in the crypto space. First, Bitcoin went from only a few cents a token to the tens of thousands, making a new generation of millionaires. But that wasn’t crypto fans’ last chance to get rich in the space, more recently in 2021 the likes of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and Dogecoin skyrocketed up the charts, making even more millionaires from almost nothing. These sorts of stories are what first get people into the crypto space, but they aren’t necessarily a thing of the past despite the current market downturn. Far from it. While nobody knows what the next millionaire-making token will be, there’s a lot of buzz around a few crypto currencies that have extremely strong potential to help reshape your portfolio.

And now is actually a time where whales are increasing their deposits into crypto despite the overall market downturn. This is the time when big decisions are made and real riches are set up for further down the line. It might have been easy to pick a winner when everything was just going up in the bull market run, but by picking strong cryptos right now you’re setting yourself up for huge gains when the market sorts itself out. One crypto that experts really like the look of to help do this is GLO. While GLO might not make you rich overnight, it has a ton of upsides. Let’s look at why:

Uniglo (GLO)

Uniglo is gaining a ton of traction during pre-sale and could be the next big thing in the crypto world. That’s what some experts think because of its incredible dual-burn tokenomics, full-asset backed store of value and community-led approach. It could be the answer to the world’s inflation issues, and it could be the answer for your portfolio moving forward.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin experienced massive gains back in 2021, but it still has good potential with backers like Elon Musk and as “the people’s crypto”. It answers major problems in the crypto world, and makes an actually spendable currency thanks to low transaction costs and quick speeds. It also showed the whole industry the power of marketing on social media, something which has reshaped the marketing landscape for all sorts of projects.

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs have been at the forefront of NFT development over the last few days. Some of their unique collectibles have gone on to sell for massive prices and are integral to NFT world. You might have missed your chance to get one of these NFTs early, but there’s still plenty of potential for more growth as prices have dipped somewhat.

Conclusion

Uniglo could have the potential to beat the massive gains achieved by Bored Ape Yacht CLub NFTs and Dogecoin. That’s why it’s highly recommended for your portfolio right now.

Does M&M’s need the Bored Ape Yacht Club? Or is it the other way around? Is this partnership cool or cringe? Is the KINGSHIP NFT superband a good idea? Those are more profound questions than they look. We’re talking about the future of music, NFTs, and commerce here. The rules for the next hundred years are being written as you read these lines. And M&M’s are somehow part of the story.

“Rider” – #KINGSHIPxMMS pic.twitter.com/dw0Igoo1Py

— KINGSHIP (@therealkingship) August 24, 2022

When Bitcoinist first reported on the digital NFT band, we described KINGSHIP as:

“A band consisting of four members – all digital. That’s right, the group has no physical identity and instead they will be an NFT. This has the potential to be a wave that might change how we look at artists. Kingship consists of a Mutant Ape and three Bored Ape characters, including rare Golden Fur and Bluebeam Apes.”

The band is the creation of 10:22PM, Universal Music Group’s label dedicated to technological avant-garde projects. In a recent press release, both the band and M&M’s announced the limited edition candies. 

“Just 4000 have been created in total: The Gold edition, the rarest version, comes in a white and gold foil gift box and includes custom printed candies with KINGSHIP group members Captain, KING, Arnell and Hud in individually numbered boxes from 1 to 100. M&M’S will also produce only 3,900 exclusive celebratory gift boxes in Brown. Additionally, there will be 6,000 gift jars of the candies, available TODAY to fans in the U.S.”

That’s right, US readers can still get them on M&M’s special landing page for the collaboration.

What Do M&M’s And 10:22PM Say About The Project?

The press release contains two quotes from the geniuses that conceived this whole corporate orgy. The first one comes from Jane Hwang, Global Vice President at Mars Wrigley:

“Consumers’ expectations for what they want from their favorite brands has shifted, and at Mars, we know we need to be more innovative than ever with such a culturally famous brand like M&M’S. We’re excited to continue our Mars foray into the metaverse through this partnership with 10:22PM and KINGSHIP, as a way to engage our fans in a new and exciting space.”

1/ KINGSHIP is all about inclusivity and paying homage to rock ‘n’ roll legends. Their rider, which is a list of items the group requests to have backstage, always includes M&M’S chocolate candies of all colors. #KINGSHIPxMMS pic.twitter.com/AMWPfQ5EXp

— KINGSHIP (@therealkingship) August 24, 2022

The second one is courtesy of Celine Joshua, founder of 10:22PM and the creator of KINGSHIP:

“KINGSHIP is a group dedicated to the art of storytelling, so it was a great opportunity for us to both pay homage to rock’n’roll history, and one of the greatest bands of all time, but also create a unique fan experience for those that have joined this community at the start of their journey.”

They created a whole story around KINGSHIP’s rider and the legend that, at their peak, Van Halen had a clause that prohibited brown M&M’s backstage at their concerts. The thing is, KINGSHIP’s story is awful. We won’t bother you with it. Let’s go straight to the NFT business side of things.

About KINGSHIP’s Key Card NFTs

The band has not released any music whatsoever, but last month KINGSHIP sold “5,000 access-enabled Key Cards” in NFT format in 24 hours. And this is the first perk that holders got, they “were the first to know about this exclusive collaboration and were given an early opportunity to access the products.” That’s innovative and shows potential.

The band has also made progress, KINGSHIP recruited “animator Jack Lanza” and “Grammy Award-winning music producers and well-respected NFT collector Jimmy McNelis.” Will we hear music soon? Bitcoinist certainly hopes so.

The battle between provocateur Ryder Ripps and the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection rages on. Ripps and Jeremy Cahen, creator of apemarket.com, filled an Anti-SLAPP motion to counter Yuga Labs’ suit against them. The term “Anti-SLAPP” stands for Anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation, and Ripps and Cahen might have a case after all. Even though they both are or stand to profit from their Bored Ape Yacht Club rip-off NFT collection.

Before we start, you should know that Ripps alleges that the BAYC contains encoded racist and nazi iconography. Bitcoinist analyzed the case when the accusations came out, and then published not only one, but two denials by Yuga Labs’ creators. So, we’ve been more than fair to Yuga Labs. The other relevant piece of information is that the provocateur then created an NFT collection titled RR BAYC that is identical to the original one, and it’s selling those separate NFTs and profiting from it.

Ripps And Cahen’s Lawyers Speak

In an email received by Bitcoinist, lawyer Louis Tompros from WilmerHale claims Yuga Lab’s suit is a “baseless effort to silence Mr. Ripps’s artistic criticism.” He then proceeds to explain:

“Mr. Ripps’s art called out racist and neo-Nazi imagery in the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection. That is exactly the kind of artistic expression that the First Amendment protects, and lawsuits like this are precisely the reason the anti-SLAPP statute exists. We have asked the Court to strike Yuga’s complaint, and we expect to seek attorney’s fees and costs.” 

why are kali yuga labs and their fans so quiet about our response to their lawsuit? they brought the lawsuit against us, you’d think they’d be gloating!.. well here it is, give it a read and report back why you think they are scared to address it.. https://t.co/Jhmy5PoqDj

— RYDER-RIPPS.ETH (@ryder_ripps) August 17, 2022

To further clear things up, lawyer Alfred Steiner from Meister & Steiner adds:

“Yuga Labs has mistaken attribution for infringement. Ryder could not have created an NFT project critical of the Bored Ape Yacht Club without using some of the same terms in its title. Instead of openly engaging with the NFT community about Ryder’s criticism, Yuga brought this pretextual lawsuit to squelch it. The First Amendment should preclude Yuga from using trademark law to silence its most effective critic.”

Are their allegations convincing? Let’s explore the Anti-SLAPP motion’s text before coming to any conclusion.

Inside Ryder Ripps’ Anti-SLAPP Motion

At first, the lawyers ignore the fact that their client is profiting from the “satirical” rip-off NFT collection. This paragraph introduces their argument:

“Mr. Ripps brought attention to Yuga’s conduct by creating the satirical NFT  collection called the “Ryder Ripps Bored Ape Yacht Club” (“RR/BAYC”). Though Yuga never brought action against any of the dozens of commercial “ape” NFT collections, it did—without warning—bring this action against Mr. Ripps and his business partner, Jeremy Cahen. Yuga’s purpose was obvious: to bully Mr. Ripps and Mr. Cahen into silence. But this is precisely why anti-SLAPP statutes exist.”

Then, the lawyers explain how the RR BAYC collection came to be:

“Later, Mr. Ripps posted on Twitter that he would create his satirical NFTs for anyone who requested one for the price of 0.1 Ethereum (currently roughly $190). He explained to his followers that “ryder ripps bayc vision is to create an army of educators” with respect to Yuga’s connections to neo-Nazi and alt-right culture.” 

This is where their case starts to make sense. Apparently:

“The RR/BAYC NFTs quickly became popular, and Mr. Ripps eventually set up the website https://rrbayc.com. The website ensured that collectors understood the satirical message of the project and that they were not purchasing a BAYC NFT.”  

Not only that, the website contains a disclaimer that “required purchasers to acknowledge that RR/BAYC NFTs are “a new mint of BAYC imagery, recontextualizing it for educational purposes, as protest and satirical commentary.”

if YugaLabs didn’t sue @Pauly0x and i simply because they are threatened by our speech than why don’t they sue these people too?… who are making no statement and is purely just a rip-off “copycat” project…? https://t.co/j2KImxV5m7 pic.twitter.com/jEqXdIpfSI

— RYDER-RIPPS.ETH (@ryder_ripps) August 17, 2022

There’s also the fact that there are countless BAYC rip-off collections all over the NFT space, and Yuga Labs hasn’t sued them. “why don’t they sue these people too?… who are making no statement and is purely just a rip-off “copycat” project…?,” the artist asks in the tweet above.

The BAYC Racist Allegations Enter The Public Record

One of the strategic moves behind this Anti-SLAPP motion is that it registers Ryder Ripps’ allegations in the court records. The text speaks of Wylie Aronow AKA Gordon Goner’s relationship with “high profile neo-Nazis, including white supremacist Richard Spencer,” and how Aronow “is thanked in the book Thousands of Lies.” 

As anticipated, this case is much more about the first amendment than anything. Brilliantly, the lawyers have introduced the merits of @ryder_ripps allegations into their defense. Defendants will get discovery on the truth of the allegations of Nazi dog whistling by Yuga.

— ‘The NFT Lawyer’ on YouTube (@The_NFT_Lawyer) August 15, 2022

The lawyers also allege that “Yuga quietly embedded its company’s trademarks, artwork, and products with these coded “dog whistles,” drawing from neo-Nazi culture and racist communities.” Plus, they include this jewel:

“The BAYC collection itself also contains obvious racist messaging and imagery. The NFTs display anthropomorphized apes in an act of simianization— disparaging ethnic or racial groups by depicting them as apes.”

And that’s just what we are willing to publish. The text contains even worst allegations. It’s as the NFT lawyer wrote in the tweet above, “As anticipated, this case is much more about the first amendment than anything. Brilliantly, the lawyers have introduced the merits of Ryder Ripps allegations into their defense. Defendants will get discovery on the truth of the allegations of Nazi dog whistling by Yuga.”

Ryder Ripps’ Side Of The Story

In a previous Yuga Labs denial, we quoted “Guy Oseary, a veteran talent manager who represents Madonna and U2” saying:

“Early on, I really was offended. I even reached out to [Ripps]. I thought by me talking to him, he would know that I would never be affiliated with anything like that. You know, I’m Israeli, I’m Jewish.” 

The defendants’ version of the story paints a completely different picture:

“Yuga has been on a campaign aimed at silencing Mr. Ripps’s artistic expression and related criticism of Yuga’s connections to neo-Nazi and alt-right culture. For example, when Mr. Ripps began to speak out about the BAYC collection, Yuga’s talent manager, Guy Oseary, called Mr. Ripps to make vague threats. Oseary stated that “I can be a nice guy or I can be a not nice guy” and that he could make Mr. Ripps’s life hard if he continued to call out Yuga.”

That doesn’t prove anything, but it’s curious. 

So, do Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen have a case? Does the “RR/BAYC uses satire and appropriation to protest and educate people regarding The Bored Ape Yacht Club and the framework of NFTs,” as the website alleges? Or are they just trying to profit from the second most successful NFT collection? The US judicial system will decide.
