If yuga (their LPs now) wants $ape and its amazing community to survive; then the founders/ and VC “partners” should be re-aligning financial interests between the two and prioritizing transparency. 
This used to be core feature of defi culture, and honestly why I got in the game.

No it’s not about the money. It’s about raising money from your community/early power users. 
Or never drop a token, which is cool too. But honestly absurd we allow VCs, founders and employees to receive equity and tokens, then the same should be true for $ape holders
