Hi,
Say gm the new Boys Club podcast series, Context: Views on Crypto & Culture, hosted by art historian, crypto VC and glamour girl, Blake Finucane.
The Boys
Gary’s Glow Up. Hot off his Twitter spaces with the US ARMY (?) everyone's favorite mall cop, Gary Gensler, decided it's the perfect time to sue Gemini & Genesis for selling unregistered securities. The charges may be valid, but seem a bit late for the 340,000 Gemini Earn depositors who are missing $900 million. One thing for certain is that "#glowup" Gensler loves to make himself the center of attention. We'll wait for the next bankruptcy filing to find out what else he considers a security.
From rags to riches. Our emotional and physical baggage was PUMPED this week — BTC and ETH rallying hard for the plebs (us) who have been crawling through the bear market. Need not forget we are still down like 70%, but wowza does it feel good to get some gas in our tanks. Why the pump? U.S. inflation has cooled down a bit, citing the CPI report released this week. Also, FTX just found billions of dollars worth of assets that they *may* be able to sell to help repay customers/investors. It’s possible this is the hopium the market needed. Mark my words, I’ll be buying THIS once ETH passes $3k.
The Boys are Pleased. PleasrDAO went live this week with their new project, PleasrHouse, an experiment created to disrupt traditional live art auctions - think Sotheby’s but fun and on-chain. The inaugural NFT was a collaboration between political hot boy whistleblowers Daniel Ellsberg and Edward Snowden, featuring the Pentagon Papers (watch this). PleasrHouse is an agent of disruptainment™, so buckle up because there is more to come.
🎨 Ayoo big Celo rebrand.
