## Q1: Can you introduce us to the Apu Apustaja project?
Apu Apustaja specifically is the number one most used meme on the internet. A cute little frog whose commonly mistaken for Pepe, and there's a good chance that anyone listening in right now has at least one Apu saved in their phone or PC. Apu was tokenized and put on the blockchain under two months ago, and within a week of him being live, the dev croaked on the project and abandoned it.

The community, fueled with passion and love for Apu, immediately sprung to action and ever since we've been a Community Takeover. In that time we've reached an ATH of 280m, over 7k holders, 6 CEX's, and one of the strongest organic online communities in the entire crypto space.The community has gone out of their way to make Apu Games and music which is now featured on both Spotify and Apple Music.

## Q2: Out of all the memecoins, why Apu? Well as I just stated, why can't the #1 meme become the #1 memecoin?
We're commonly being referenced as the SHIB to Pepe, SHIB also being a community revival project. The best part of Apu is that memes of him already exist all over the internet. Most people market $APU by just posting the same memes they always have to Twitter and other social platforms. You can see the labor of love from the community in this project. No one on the team is paid, and there is no developer left to destroy the project. This is a community owned project at the end of the day and it always will be. I guarantee to anyone listening that if they search $APU right now, they will see more organic engagement than any other memecoin out there.

## Q3: Can you highlight some of the things the community itself has done?
The community has already tackled a lot of projects. To name a few, we have over 11 albums currently on Spotify and Apple Music, an Apu Apustaja Game, Guerilla Marketing Campaigns (Stickers, everywhere). These ideas and projects grow more and more everyday as we have fostered a builders' chat within the community that people can collaborate and create with each other. The team also has taken some community ideas such as a 24/7 youtube livestream which now plays all the community made music, Frog Hat generator, and a Book of Lore to recap the history with over 30 chapters as of this time.

## Q4: What's next for Apu?
Well our priorities as always is to acquire more CEX listings and focus on Marketing initiatives to help expand and spread the word of Apu.We've taken some internal steps to help position ourself for the next set of listings, and additionally in the last few weeks have deployed some of our marketing initiatives such as the New York advertisements and online articles. At the end of the day, I explain it as an Education Campaign. A majority of post made from PEPE Accounts/Influencers are actually posting $APU. What happens when people become educated on the difference and realize that Apu is the cute little green frog they thought PEPE was? Everyday this fact becomes more legitimized. The narrative of this bull run is going to be Frogs vs. Dogs.

## Q5: How can people learn more and get involved?
Make sure to check out our Website, Telegram, Twitter, and Instagram. The #1 thing I recommend to people who are considering "Why Apu" is to spend a couple minutes hanging out in our community because that's the #1 item that will convince you. Active, friendly, organic, and passionate. If you have talents and want to help build for the community, make sure to join our Telegram and ask to be in our Builders Chat so you can help create with other talented individuals. As always, in all your interactions, keep it friendly.
