Congratulations to The Bitcoin Conference team and the NFT Glee team, I plan on donating this NFT to the APENFT project and look forward to using my pass well into the future.”

Recently, Justin donated his entire collection of art to the APENFT project as he was impressed by the team and their vision to be the ARK Funds in the NFT space. This collection includes “Ocean Front” by Beeple, Picasso’s “Femme nue couchée au collier“, Andy Warhol’s “Three self portraits” and most recently a full collection of works by the renowned artist Pak. Consequently, the APENFT team successfully launched their first native token $NFT on the new and improved Huobi Prime as well as on Poloniex LaunchBase 2.
