`reserveApes` is SHOCKING!
The comment says "Set some Bored Apes aside", but in reality, this allows the owners to mint 30 apes at a time without paying the 0.08 ETH fee.
And worse... they could still mint more tokens if they want to. Nothing in code is stopping them🤯
How has no one else called this out...?
This is like Satoshi Nakamoto saying there are 21 million $BTC, but I may just create more for myself at any time I like.
I'm sure this wasn't intentional, but WOW.
