About Top Hat Society
New Owners: The Macher Twins
Lazar and Itzik Macher were self-made moguls who built a software empire. Known for their charm, business acumen, and iconic tophats, they were inseparable and admired by all.
But success came at a cost. Both married ambitious women who eventually grew resentful of living in the Macher shadow. A messy divorce followed, stripping the brothers of their fortune, empire, and public reputation.
Now, Lazar and Itzik are working tirelessly to rebuild their world. They’ve become the new owners of Tophat Society, a business networking and learning group they purchased from Old Man Giraffe Solman. G. Solman had a good run, but his reign and relevance had come to an end (despite what his old acquaintances might claim)—but that’s a story for another day.
True to their brand, Lazar and Itzik are big fans of NFTs, especially collections featuring tophat traits. Follow them for updates on floor prices of tophat traits across various collections.
A Brief History
THS was born out of the Giraffe Tower NFT project and Gary Club community. The crown trait is commonly found to be the favored trait across NFT projects. Well, the crown trait is one that I never acquired for my own collection of giraffe. I did happen to acquire one with a tophat. I became fond of the tophat, as I grew up with tophat-wearing icons such as the Monopoly Man and Mr. Peanut. I started voicing my preference of tophats over crowns in a playful teasing way around the community.
Website
One day in August 2023 I just had the idea to create a sub community that was exclusive to tophat giraffe NFT owners, and I created this website. It started out with just articles about Gary Club and help guides for newbies to crypto and NFTs.
Access-Control
In 2024, I developed a token-gating tech I call Rhino Gate. With Rhino Gate I was able to create a private Telegram group that can only be accessed by people who own the digital assets I specify; at the time those were either a giraffe NFT with the tophat trait or 1 million THS coin (don’t worry that is less than ten dollars).
Since then Rhino Gate can also control access to sections of WordPress websites. On THS I have learning courses that can only be accessed by people who own the required tokens.
Growing the Community
In Nov 2024 we started an X Community to begin outreach on the platform as well as hosting audio chat spaces.
