WTF IS $YAPPER?
Cobie sold his startup to Coinbase for $375 million and went right back to posting on Twitter. Most people would disappear with that kind of money. He chose to keep yapping.
I've been yapping since 2021 and I'm not stopping either. We didn't sell for $375M. But we also didn't stop yapping. And we won't.
$YAPPER is for everyone who talks too much and wouldn't have it any other way.
01
THE EXIT
Built Echo expecting it to fail. Coinbase saw different. $375M different. The exit was real.
02
THE RETURN
Most people with $375M disappear. This man returned to Twitter the same day. The yapping was realer than the exit.
03
THE QUOTE
"I guess I still will be that." Seven words. More powerful than the entire acquisition. Pure yapper energy.
04
THE COMMUNITY
For everyone who's been yapping since day one. We didn't sell for $375M. But we also didn't stop. And we won't.
