Welcome to today's episode of "GM Web3," where we dive into the latest developments in the world of finance, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology.

In our previous episode, we saw a robust day in the equities market, with NVIDIA leading the way with an impressive 8% surge in their stock price, thanks to their stellar earnings report. However, today presents a different picture as stocks have taken a downturn. The spotlight has also shifted to interest rates, which have pulled back from their recent highs.

One noteworthy indicator of the economy's health is the initial jobless claims report, and it's signaling strength in the labor force. This suggests a positive outlook for the job market.

Turning our attention to the world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin made a quick upward move, but it seems to have plateaued once again. Interestingly, the funding dynamics for Bitcoin and Ethereum are indicating a growing short position in the market. This could be due to a major fund hedging their bets, possibly against assets like NVIDIA stock. Our friends at OSF view this as bullish news for the short term, especially over the next couple of days.

A significant development in the crypto space is the movement of funds off exchanges. A staggering 200 million dollars were moved off exchanges just yesterday, hinting at large players stashing their assets in cold storage. This move could have substantial implications for the market.

Shifting gears to blockchain technology, Shopify is making waves by considering the use of USDC on the Solana blockchain. This move has the potential to gain popularity as it would substantially reduce transaction fees when compared to traditional credit card payments.

Lastly, we're excited about the upcoming Korea Blockchain Week, where we anticipate the convergence of artists, blockchain founders, and new enthusiasts. This event promises to be a hub of innovation and collaboration in the blockchain space.

That's a wrap for today's "GM Web3" podcast. Stay tuned for more updates on the ever-evolving world of finance, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology.

Welcome to the GM Web3 podcast, where we dive into the latest happenings in the world of finance and technology. Today's episode is packed with exciting updates:

Equities are off to a strong start with the S&P up by 0.6% and the Nasdaq surging by 1%. Interest rates are still a hot topic, with recent retracements from yesterday's peaks. While the Fed FOMC meeting is on the horizon, this month, we have the Jackson Hole event, historically a significant moment for the Fed, known for sparking extensive commentary. Last year was a bit of a letdown, but this time, there's something brewing.

In the crypto world, there's the usual Binance FUD, but it appears to be centered around rumors. Binance has been making headlines for teaming up with MoonPay after grappling with banking and access issues.

On the ETF front, we're still waiting for a decision. The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as NVIDIA prepares to unveil its earnings report today. NVIDIA plays a pivotal role in tech stocks and the NASDAQ, being the sole producer of the LM chips crucial for recent AI advancements, such as ChatGPT. Everyone's eyes are on this stock, eager to find out just how much they've raked in.

But that's not all. We had the privilege of hosting @dalegre, the CEO of Yuga Labs, on the show. He's had an impressive journey, transitioning from his COO role at Blizzard Entertainment to becoming a key player in the web3 space. With a background that spans Google, Activision, and the gaming boom triggered by Covid, Dale shared his insights into web3 and the Yuga Labs story.

In his own words, "It is so important for a company to have a healthy culture," and he's passionate about building culture on the blockchain.

Dale dropped some intriguing hints about developments in Europe, although it's not related to Apefest. He also shed light on MEebits, hinting that holders are in for something special in the coming months. Stay tuned for more updates!

This episode is a whirlwind of financial insights and crypto revelations, so don't miss out. Tune in to GM Web3 and stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of finance and technology.

Welcome to GM Web3, your go-to podcast for the latest updates in the world of technology, stocks, and crypto. In our latest episode, we've got a lot to cover, so let's dive right in.

First off, the stock market had an excellent day recently, thanks in large part to a rally in chip stocks. British chip makers saw a significant boom, and tech stocks are following suit. However, there's some concern as we approach year-to-date highs in interest rates. Keep an eye on this development as it could impact the market.

Now, shifting our focus to the crypto world, things are pretty much where they were yesterday - not great. However, there's an interesting twist as a whale deposited a whopping 15 million after the recent crash and is extracting ETH at a slower but still impressive pace. The crypto market is always full of surprises!

In the tech realm, Friend tech is still dominating with over 100k signups, despite a slight decline in volumes. It's clear that the tech community is thriving.

And for all you crypto enthusiasts, don't forget it's still on-chain summer for another month, so let's make the most of it!

Now, for a bit of crypto drama, Shibarium is set to relaunch after locking away millions in ETH, never to be recovered. Keep an eye on this space for some exciting developments.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming @qbuttonphd, our new VP at Rug Radio. She's already making waves and shared her vision and journey to this point, giving us a glimpse into what's in store for the future.

But that's not all, folks! We were also joined by the legendary Sam Spratt, the creative genius behind Lucy and the recent Monument game drop, which sold out in the blink of an eye. Sam shared insights into his creative process and teased us with what to expect from the upcoming "game." It's truly an epic listen for any fan of art and culture.

So, whether you're into stocks, crypto, tech, or art, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in and stay updated on the latest happenings in the exciting world of Web3. Let's keep riding the waves of innovation together!

In today's episode, we dive into the financial world, where interest rates have surged to 20-year highs in 10-year treasuries, a rather unusual situation given the state of equities. Our hosts discuss how this might not bode well for the overall crypto market, with rising interest rates potentially impacting investor sentiment.

Despite some exciting news in the crypto space, such as the recent developments in Ethereum, the market seems to be treading water since the recent sell-off. The highly anticipated approval of a BlackRock ETF is on the horizon, but it's not expected for several months. This delay could explain why some investors are cashing out their profits, expecting a bit of a wait before the ETF's impact is felt.

The macroeconomic focus is currently on China and interest rates, with data suggesting that both stocks and cryptocurrencies may be oversold. There's a growing sense that a bounce might be in the cards, especially considering that Bitcoin recently hit its lowest RSI levels ever.

However, our hosts issue a word of caution regarding leverage. They highlight that expected volatility could return to the market in a way it hasn't in quite some time, urging listeners to approach trading with care.

Shifting gears, the discussion turns to "Friend tech," the latest trend in the crypto world. It's intriguing to note that 80,000 wallets have traded shares in some capacity in just the past 11 days. While it's not quite a Ponzi scheme, it bears some resemblance, but our experts see potential use cases for this emerging trend.

The podcast also features guest appearances. Joe and Repjar from the Overlords/Creepz Community, joined the conversation, showcasing their unique NFTs and artworks.

Lastly, they welcome Michael Kutsche, a German-born artist who combines fine art with glitch style and 3D elements. His STUBS piece, titled "Onward," is set to be available for the burn this Friday, promising an exciting addition to the NFT art world.

That wraps up this episode's summary, where we've delved into the complexities of interest rates, the crypto market, and the fascinating world of NFTs and digital art. Stay tuned for more insightful discussions in future episodes!

Welcome back to GM Web3! In today's episode, we'll dive into a recap of the latest market movements and trends, covering everything from traditional markets to the exciting world of cryptocurrencies.

Starting off with the traditional markets, it seems like there wasn't much positivity to report. Equities closed lower yesterday, and oil also experienced a downward trend. However, there's a glimmer of hope as jobless claims came in slightly below expectations today, offering a potential silver lining amidst the market fluctuations.

Shifting our focus to the crypto space, we've seen some noteworthy developments. Crypto is in motion, though unfortunately, it's been a downward trajectory. Bitcoin (BTC) has dipped to 28,000 dollars, while Ethereum (ETH) has seen a decrease down to 1,780 dollars. Interestingly, alternative cryptocurrencies (alts) have managed to hold their ground relatively well. The prevalent selling seems to be BTC-driven, raising questions about the factors contributing to this movement.

One potential influence on the crypto market's downward trend is China's efforts to counteract the selling in their own stock market. Concerns over the Chinese economy might be one of the drivers affecting the broader crypto landscape.

In a special segment, we're joined by Punk 9059 to delve into a fascinating topic: the rare occurrence of an NFT project experiencing a 50% floor dump. Despite witnessing significant drops across various NFT collections, instances of such drastic shifts have been relatively infrequent in such a short span of time.

Our discussion also highlights the concept of "hot potato dumpenomics," which is becoming increasingly evident in collections like Degas and Blur bid. It seems like a race against time to exit positions before major holders initiate their own dumps. This dynamic creates a snowball effect, or perhaps more aptly, an avalanche, as selling pressure builds upon itself.

As we wrap up today's episode, it's clear that both traditional markets and the crypto world are experiencing their share of challenges and exciting developments. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates and insights on the ever-evolving landscape of global markets and cryptocurrencies. Thank you for joining us on GM Web3]!

Equities didn't to have great day yesterday, we are opening a slight bit higher today. Small jolts expected until the next major major event.

Crypto saw a massive 1% move in ETH!!! unfortunately it was lower, but luckily it wasn't much of a move at all.

The CFTC approved coinbase as a merchant, which is a bullish positive in the fight against security regulations.

Machi's Degods position is causing all the feels to surface on the timeline. People that genuinely want to enter the ecosystem are sharing the sentiment that they are "waiting for machi to sell". This is tough as the floor has been grinding lower ever since the season III announcements

There was a stat that 200 million dollars has been paid from Bitcoin longs to bitcoin shorts since the top of the year. Volatility is at an extreme low. The majority of trading seems to be in alts and Shxtcoins.

Mando recommends bridging over to Base as there is tons of activity and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Deflation coming out of china is being exported, causing a spiral that isn't great for the rest of the worlds markets. Blame is being placed on the FEDs recent approach.

All the major trading bots with tradable coins seems to be doing well. $NONE who was on the show last week has seen a near 50% increase since.

9059 dropped an NFT bluechip index recently, what collection do you see as a blue chip?

Not really a pretty day today, we undid the progress from yesterday in stocks roughly 75%. Interest rates are something to watch out for, it seems like we are selling off. the markets are more in line with the narrative of the FED as opposed to the standoff we were eexperiencing earlier this week.

Crypto doesn't have much to talk about, we have been in a tight 10pt range with out much action. BTC and ETH are experiencing their lowest volumes in a long time. The Alts have also seemed to pull back today, likely some profit taking going on there.

The FCC ETF approval is rumored to happen in 2024, but OSF points out that even at the point it could take more time.

The Sam Spratt news has been taking over the timeline. He is launching the Monument game and releasing different hints and bits of information. It is all set to be an interactive chapter in Lucy's story, where members of the council have selected people to play. Very little information has been released yet but he is set to be on the show next week.

Machi has accumulated over 200 Degods at this point. This is also following the excessive FUD they have received following the season III announcement. It seems to be a question at this point of who is holding a major bag.

Yesterday Reptjar, a community member of the overlord creeps, made a proposal to farokh to change his pfp to a creep in exchange for a tattoo of farokhs punk on his arm.

Argentina is looking to get rid of their native currency and adopt crypto to transact. Many currencies are collapsing against the dollar. It's interesting to see a national currency fail and create a lane for Crypto, very far from ideal but it has created an avenue none the less.

Europes first spot bitcoin ETF lists in Amsterdam, great news.

Zynga stepped into web3 gaming, which is huge as they are a billion dollar mobile gaming company.

We had Amanda Cassatt on stage to join us. she started contributing to the space in 2015! she was CMO at Consensys during the time that Ethereum was introduced!

"The market is an aggregation of vibes"

"Getting people through the bear market is something we can all do together."

- Amanda

She blessed us with some amazing insight and quotes along with a perspective that this the best possible time to be building.

Let's Crush this week!

Equities are up today, interest rates are selling off with 2years treasuries reaching their highest levels since the end of July, very close to long time highs. Crypto remains unchanged, but there is some coins seeing some positive activity in the alt world.

Are you Pre-Rich? Do you have your bags packed for the upcoming run? the type of bags that will send you into retirement if everything works out? Consider it.

China is quietly blowing up., there is a huge developer that is set to default soon. Most of the world is experiencing inflation but China is experiencing deflation. Their markets have been in a slump, and they may be in line for recession.

New layer 1 is incoming with a massive market cap that hasn't been seen since arb/opt.

Degods season III was all the talk this weekend, some major whales have sold off and the floor has dropped off a bit as might have been expected.

$APE coin has risen back above $2.00, and machi is amassing his collection of apes along with a huge position in the coin itself.

has anyone heard from the Azuki team?

Milady has been on a consistent upwards push and is set to flip most peoples favorite collections if it continues.

Coca-cola is dropping an NFT, but believe or not this is not their first drop. Their last drop fetched over half a million with a fridge attached and donations going to the special olympics.

We had @coryvanlew on to share some insight into his New art approach, using oil paints for his physicals instead of acrylics. The real purpose for his presence was his STUBS drop which is actually a short animation depicting a friend of his asleep with his lady on the couch. The STUBS piece will be a first as it will require 25 stubs to burn for his piece, making STUBS history.

We also had @fewocious on to drop some alpha on the upcoming Fewo's. Oddly enough, the upcoming project might be a giant Fridge collaboration with Cory, Rug Radio and OSF. Bringing Cold storage to a home near you.

An awesome Friday show featuring Gfunk from Pixelvault and VFG to discuss RebootGG and their recent acquisition of Wolfgame. We had the peoples favorite co-host Mika bringing the best vibes possible and the stage discussed the latest social blockchain app friend tech.

We also had a fairly spicy conversation about the recent announcements and updates from the Degods season III drop. With some mixed feelings and possible lines being crossed the debate had came from a handful of perspectives and shed some light on the overall sentiment.

Inflation came in slightly below the expected number and slightly higher than the previous month. This all seemed to be priced in and the markets are up again today approaching ATH's again.

Crypto still does not want to move with the Macro up swing. It continues to feel like an inverse relationship as we move opposite to whatever equities are doing. Mando still thinks over the next 3 days we could break 30k on BTC.

"This feels like this might be the one where we are back"

- Mando

Aptos announced a partnership with Microsoft to build out AI tools.

Base was launched, Coinbase's own blockchain, which has mainly spurred on the shitcoinery. There is an open edition drop today from @CozomoMedici and @deekaymotion, with the intent to bring on "the masses". Our Hosts encourage you to bridge, as many new chains in the past have rewarded earlier users who did a simple act like bridging in.

Yesterday Degods announce the y00ts are migrating to Ethereum and returning the 3 million dollar grant from polygon.

Degods themselves will now be able to change their artwork to 4 different images via the metadata. Mando is slightly underwhelmed based on the hype leading into it and the floor has dropped from the 9 eth local high.

Yesterday we had a good day in traditional markets and today we have reversed those gains. The banking sector has downgraded a bunch of banks as the banking crisis continues. There is also some trepidation leading into the inflation figure this Thursday.

Mando thinks this going to continue to be the most hated rally and it may continue to rip through the rest of the year. Unfortunately, this might not impact the crypto world quite as much.

Sunday we get the decision on the approval for Kathy woods ETF. Consensus is that it will not be approved as it has not been an easy path to approval up to this point.

Tomorrow is the Degods Season III, at least that is the story, we all know that Frank is known for a proper Delay. The floor is currently sitting at 9 eth, and our stage speculated on whether or not the collection will save the NFT space.

LinksDao is accepting new members. This is the same project that raised 10 million to purchase an a dual golf course.

The monetization initiative has stirred up emotions. The meta is now chasing reply's and making meaningless content in order to grab impressions for the void. The quality of content on the Timeline has decreased dramatically, and despite seeing people getting paid, nobody seems to be enjoying the new scroll.

The GM Web3 Crew is back!....well kind of. Farokh is still in Toronto after the OD Labs X Rug Radio event and we may or may not have had some technical difficulties to open the show but the show is back on! Mando broke down some of his takeaways for macro and OSF described his recent body fat scan at the request of the audience from the Youtube Live stream.

We had Trizton on for this weeks stubs artist, and he shared some of the reasoning and mindset behind some select pieces with us.

Yesterday we had the FOMC, as expected they raised interest rates by 25bps and the commentary wasn't that different from the last meeting; They will continue to adjust policies based on incoming data and there won't be any rate cuts this year but potentially next year we could see cuts. Equities sold off initially, but have already recovered a bit.

The next time we hear from the Fed will be in September, so there is a break there. If we do get good news on the next meeting it could lead to a nice rally.

Crypto started to rise although just in the last half hour things have already started to pull back. It felt like crypto positions were sketchy. It feels like we are inversely correlated to stocks, which is an odd scenario.

NFTs

Bit of a bounce over the last 24 hours in NFTs. Pudgies are back above 4 eth, and more hoodie punks continuing to trade.

There is a wallet with 17 zombies that has awoken after years, a true Zombie wallet, with it’s last activity being a Meebit claim. Nobody seems to know who the wallet is, but it does have a recently active twitter profile but speculation that they have an alt account and are in the space.

There was an auction that happened at Sothebys, to much success, that seemed to take an opposite direction from the recent Christie's botch. 500 pieces that started as a dutch auction and landed in the 1 eth range, but the floor is now at 3 eth. The artist is over 90 years old!!!!!

The Reddit NFT world has reached 14 million wallets now and something like 50 million in all time sales. Coolcats and Aku both now have tons of new NFT holders via Reddit.

Fvckrender x @tokapi_official

@fvckrender joined us to talk about his stamps he is creating in a collaboration with the Austrian backed “crypto stamp art” via Tokapi. It comes with an art print, stamps, sculpture and two NFTs to choose from, eternal flowers or alpine star.

They each come with different pieces of the collection. One of them is 100 editions, and the other is 200 editions. Fxckrender says this is truly collectible, if you are trying to make money, don't buy it. Believe it or not this is not the first NFT stamp…they have been doing this since 2019!

MNTGE

We were joined by the @mntge_io team also! @seanwotherspoon talked to us about the advancement of fashion in Web3 and the integration of NFC chips into the physical goods.

The latest thing they have cooked up is Patchwork. They have commissioned different heavy hitter artists including our very own OSF. @nickyads described how he accrued this superstar lineup of artists and said he discovered @GrantYun2 through the GM Web3 show! It sounds like we can expect a dedicated MNTGE marketplace soon!

The Alpha is there are some music related things coming from MNTGE!

Today kind of a big day with the conclusion of the FOMC, expectation is that they will have a mother 25bps hike. There is almost zero chance that they cut and a very low chance that it will come in at 50bps.

We are looking for any information about change and how long they hold rates here. The Feds plan has been successful up to this point, and inflation has come down over the last months. Given the strong labor market in this environment, the Fed still see's inflation rise as a threat. It will take another 6-12 months of data to get an accurate picture of the macro climate.

Degods are shining through this rough bear period, but they saw nearly a 1 eth floor price drop over the last 24hrs. @punk9059 says there may have been a farmer how was leveraged and just dumped at a bad time, combined with some rumors and off headlines.

There is a common farmer rule, "if Machi dumps, you buy".

Frank popped up on our stream after making some noise in the Youtube chat.

Have you heard of Tensor? It is getting some scrutiny for being a clone of BLUR, but Frank Degods points out that they were trying to become the pro trading platform before he had heard of BLUR.

Curious about S3 Degods? frank says they plan to make a solid calendar ogame changing events that will take place after the reveal of the new art for months to come and not just be a downward slope of post-hype disappointment.

Interest rates sold off a little bit going into the FOMC this week. Stocks remain strong but Crypto seems to be continuing to weaken. Bitcoin dominance dropped off slightly. Tonight we have Microsoft and google earnings reports coming in. Tomorrow we will have some more interesting information but the actual FOMC meeting won't conclude until after the show. Mando expects some volatility despite the current disconnect between trad markets and crypto.

Do you think we saw a local bottom in these price ranges?

NFTs

It's been an ugly 7 days in NFTs, most things are all in the red. Bored Apes are heading towards 30 ETH, it looks like Machi hit a dump wall. Rektguy saw a move higher, with the Chad founders buying back some of the collection in a recent sweep.

Opensea has been on their deactivation arc again, people are loosing access from their accounts with no direct explanation at all. It might be everyones favorite marketplace but is certainly not decentralized and there will always be regulations and motives coming from certain interests there.

The "Made by Ape" initiative is surfacing and being received very well.

"This is the most bullish case for The Bored Ape Yacht Club" - @farokh

Enabling people and giving people the tools to create business around the IP of their apes is very powerful. Luca Netz, who is considered an IP king in the space, is on record saying any ape under 100k is a steal as entrepreneur. Also, big hype around Apefest in Hong Kong, set to be in November.

It continues to be a very strong backdrop for the US stock market. Equities are up slightly AGAIN today, and we must be very near the ATH's for both the Nasdaq and the S&P. Tesla earnings are coming in today which tends to be a signal for other stocks like tech & meme categories.

Crypto is still lagging, Bitcoin is back up above 30k, but due to being outperformed by alts, Bitcoin dominance has weakened. News came out yesterday that the US sold half of its Bitcoin from the Silk Road. The price seems to be teetering between the latest headline and the expected run up. Our hosts Both believe BTC is ready to rip but it's unknown when it will actually start to move.

Analytics have pointed to the amount of short holders that were in profit after this rally and there is still some overhang there. The same massive miners selling off are also a part of the ongoing conspiracies around the stagnate coins.

Futureverse, a metaverse startup, raised 54M from 10T Holdings, Ripple Labs. It's been some time since we've heard of any metaverse raising any significant amount. This is all a part of Fluffworld and their crazy rabbits.

NFTs

We've seen a couple more Hoodie punks trade, causing the most noise in volumes.

Azuki has been looking really rough lately, there was a massive holder who dumped 50 Azuki's into bids yesterday, not helping the floor one bit.

Doodles shared details on their CAMP efforts, and are opening a huge activation in San Francisco.

@Ed_Balloon has an upcoming drop on @ProhibitionArt with a chance to win some vinyl for music enjoyooors. Check official sources for info on the legend.

Reign of Titans

We were joined by Adz from Reign of Titans, the first NFT initiative from Anheuser-Busch! It is a game using collectible assets and is the first sight of a Fortune 500 company getting involved in web3.

The game has different modes, including a PVP mode. The collection is intentionally minted on Solana because of the value they found in the SOL community.

It's incredible that a massive publicly traded company with millions and millions of customers is focusing on a small community of 5 thousand. This is a testament to the validity and importance of brand to consumer relationships and how powerful that bond can become inside of web3!

Not really a ton to add for traditional markets; interest rates are unchanged and haven't rallied either way. Crypto is looking weak with ETH slipping below $1,900 but has recovered above since. Bitcoin dominance continues, but crypto as a whole continues to underperform compared to stocks.

There are allegations that Binance is laying people off and making changes because they are in dire need of cash. Their reserves have been revealed, but isn't a clear depiction of their total assets vs debt. It is agreed that binance has adequate crypto to back their accounts but there is question as to whether they have the necessary fiat.

It appears that Adam Cochran said the network fund is a part of a conspiracy involving Justin Sun. The problem with the conspiracies is that CZ doesn't need a made up coin or to create money from some shifty route. The need for fiat is the only sensible route and the notion of insolvency is high brow informed FUD for the most part. 4.

Be weary of the sheep in the space piling into the latest fud narrative. Most people are not doing their due diligence and tend to base their opinions on their favorite threadooor or the biggest space spouting what they claim as truth.

NFTs

Opepen is the main story right now after the epic swap involving @notthreadguy. Major brands have swapped their pfps to opepens and they have now flipped checks for the time-being, with a floor price around 0.8 ETH.

Ether has been recovering again with a 30% rise over the past couple days. The post reveal numbers were not great but recovery is here.

The Azuki ecosystem has been in the red and is not looking healthy following everything that has happened this past month.

Christie's and Gucci are launching something at the Art and Tech Summit in NY. A mix of fashion and generative art in a collection, including one of everyone's favorite Lost Robbies. The curated collection has received some mainstream attention.

The Sandbox

The Sandbox is working on creating a sort of dive bar to experience before and after digital shows. Were joined by some major artists like @agoriamusic and @blond_ish who shared about her recent set. There is going to be a music district inside of @TheSandboxGame, which only makes sense as it's one of the top viewing experiences for digital concerts. With their insane roster and connections, the potential for collaboration is next level.

There are no limits inside of the sandbox, and we caught word that there is even a magical church being built!?

They are also doing a raffle for land sale inside of Sandbox with the event 'Infinite Pulse'. They will be starting with a music experience and moving into movies and different aspects of entertainment culture, down to specific regions.

We had an incredible close to stocks last week and, believe it or not, equities are up again today approaching ATH's. The next big catalyst will be the FOMC on the 25th and 26th of July.

Crypto for whatever reason just doesn't want to break through. Bitcoin is back under 31k and ETH is back below 2k. Bitcoin dominance remains and, despite its price drop, alts weren't demolished this round.

Mando is super bullish on Macro here, he thinks we will see a massive rally into things like growth stocks. Inflation could head towards 1-2% at this point and coupled with higher interest rates we could get the soft landing that many dream of. A growth narrative back in the US could lead to a painful rally that nobody is prepared for.

We have as good a chance as any to make some big 10x-20x moves, the big risk gets the big bag. Position yourself accordingly.

Binance is under more scrutiny for letting go of employees, and being added to high risk lists in certain areas of the world. The fear is high but the information we have on their assets is solid and nothing compared to what we might have seen if we had the same information from FTX. CZ has explicitly said that he has never borrowed against BNB, which offers some slight comfort.

It definitely feels like there is something unknown to the public surrounding Binance and the current Bitcoin levels. It currently costs you 3-400% a year to short BNB, which alludes to big money being in the know.

NFTS

Lowest volume day of the year in NFTS with under 7k eth. Crypto punks were the only thing making moves with PunksOTC bought a block of punks from Beanie; from that block we saw a zombie and some hoodies trade for proper prices.

A gold Pudgy penguin was purchased by Rollbit for 69 ETH marking a high, likely due to a loot box.

The @notthreadguy

open edition by @jackbutcher

has raised over 30 ETH and received tons of attention. It got so big that @beeple

put the event in his everyday, which is massively epic.

Coolcats announced they are teaming up with Animoca to launch their game causing the floor to pump up a bit to .8 ETH.

Apefest is set to be in Hong Kong which is epic and huge win, and the stage agrees Apefest should be in a different part of the world each time.

STUBS

We had @MattScobel

on as this week's STUBS artist! Matt has not only made tons of his own art, but he also helped market and produce Cath Simard. His recent technique uses Lidar scans and renders to create mind blowing pieces.

We saw a really good inflation number yesterday leading to a continued rally in traditional markets. We are up quite a bit, pushing yet another YTD high; The last time the S&P was at this level, ETH was above 4k, nearing it’s all time highs

Inflation is coming down faster than expected indicating a huge bullish narrative for markets in general.

The news of the Bitcoin ETF would have normally pushed the price of BTC to the moon, but was stifled by movement of the Silk Road Bitcoin. Mando speculates that there could be a very large seller forcing downward pressure at 31k, but not necessarily a case of skewed manipulation. Although all the news is bullish from the outside looking in, there may be some information known to insiders that could be negative for the short term and cause some of the sell-off we are seeing.

Everyone is expecting a God candle, but the thing is the god candles never come when you are expecting them. It will likely be at that unknown moment, when people are distracted by some other news.

Matic was originally a side chain, then they decided they wanted to attack Ethereum scaling from many different angles, hence the Polygon name. Recent news means they officially have a ZK EVM now along with some other approaches like an optimism rollup and more. The token itself was previously heavily used for bringing people onboard for various reasons, which meant that there was constant sell pressure from people who received these coins.

Former Celsius CEO Mashinsky has been arrested and is being sued by the FTC, SEC, DOJ and more. He was wandering loose after this whole debacle and has finally been brought to justice.

Crypto punks are holding strong, Apes down in the 30's still, Azuki has been dropping. How do you feel about the ETHER mint? drop some comments.

XRP just reached a new milestone in it's journey to not being a security: a judgement was passed but we were informed that there will be a continuation of the trial on the case.

While writing these we did in fact see some decent candles. XRP easily saw a god candle with a 30% move, BTC hit above 31k before being forced back down while ETH is also on the move.

Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we'll be diving into some interesting developments in the financial markets and crypto space. Today, we'll cover topics ranging from equities and interest rates to the state of Binance US and the intriguing speculation surrounding a massive Miner. We'll also touch upon Arkham, an initiative that has garnered attention and mixed reactions.

Let's start with equities, which are currently experiencing a period of uncertainty. They are described as "basically uncharges," implying that they lack a clear direction. Meanwhile, interest rates have had a rally, likely impacting market dynamics.

Raoul Pal, a prominent figure in the finance industry, recently posted about short interest in treasury bonds. This comes just as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) number is approaching, which adds to the anticipation and speculation among investors. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and their concerns are also contributing to a crowded short position, further complicating the market outlook.

Shifting gears to the world of cryptocurrency, Binance US has been the subject of scrutiny due to discrepancies in market prices and concerns about the availability of coin inventory. Users have reported difficulties moving USD in or out of the platform, leading to speculation that the entire platform may be winding down.

Another intriguing topic is the speculation surrounding a massive Miner. This individual or group is believed to be responsible for preventing Bitcoin (BTC) from breaking past the $31,000 mark. The motives behind such actions remain unknown, sparking curiosity and discussions within the crypto community.

Lastly, we delve into Arkham, a project that aims to identify anonymous accounts and increase transparency through incentivized information sharing. Some view Arkham as a Fed-backed initiative, akin to a "big brother" overseeing and doxxing individuals. Memes and tweets surrounding this project have circulated widely, often injecting humor into the conversation. However, the actual product has left many people feeling uneasy, as it highlights the fact that everything one does is recorded on the blockchain, reinforcing the idea that true anonymity may be elusive.

These recent developments showcase the complex and ever-evolving nature of the financial markets and the crypto space. As always, it's crucial to stay informed and consider the implications of these trends on your investment strategies. Remember, even in the world of decentralized finance, privacy might not be as guaranteed as it seems.

Welcome to this episode of our podcast. In today's market update, we start with equities, which closed low on Friday due to payroll numbers falling below expectations. As we begin the new week, the markets are opening unchanged, with both the S&P and Nasdaq showing a slight decline.

Shifting our focus to the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin dominance has risen back to around 51%, resulting in some pain for altcoins. Amidst the chaos, Solana has managed to maintain a decent base.

In recent news, @VitalikButerin, a prominent figure in the crypto space, has been making appearances and was recently featured on a Space with the Taproot Wizards. Surprisingly, he is not a hardcore maximalist when it comes to Ethereum, as he actually came from the world of Bitcoin.

Moving on to the NFT market, Bored Apes experienced a dip but have since rebounded, with prices for certain pieces reaching up to 35 ETH. Notably, a hoodie Punk was traded for an impressive $400k. Additionally, there has been a reduction in Blur Farmers, and healthy sales have been observed in items like Fidenzas.

We are joined by Neal Gorevic the Chief Marketing Officer at Consensys, an organization that predates the formation of the first Ethereum block. Consensys sees itself as an end-to-end shop for builders and developers worldwide. Neal previously held the position of Global Head of Consumer Marketing at Spotify before joining Consensys.

Consensys recently conducted a global usage survey, revealing that emerging markets are more receptive to cryptocurrencies and related technologies than Western markets. There is a palpable excitement about crypto and its potential.

In the discussion segment, we delve into the concept of creating a more optimistic internet. While the internet has seen fantastic innovations in communication, the rise of advertising has led to the invasion of our personal information. Neal envisions a future where communities can self-form and build from the inside out, bringing about a new type of internet.

When communities form, culture becomes a natural byproduct. It is crucial for the crypto space to actively promote and nurture these cultural aspects. Consensys' shift in control aims to empower builders and provide them with a sense of agency, ultimately driving the space forward. They offer a comprehensive suite of tools to support this mission.

That concludes our podcast episode for today. Thank you for tuning in, and we'll be back with more insights and updates next time.

Market is back open after being closed for July 4th yesterday, and things are unchanged for the most part. Oil prices are rising a little bit, likely on the back of the Ukrainian power plant news.

Crypto had a pullback over night with Bitcoin dropping back below $31,000. OSF points out that the chartists were incorrect again, and we didn't see the expected rally after breaking that level. Be wary of the chart and those who live and trade by them.

Mando imagines that we could be locked in these price ranges for a while; It's still very possible and likely that we see ETH hit 2k, but it might not be in the immediate future.

It looks like there was a bit of a bounce in NFTs in a few collections. The power of Machi continues to threaten collections and his positions have achieved a legendary status in the community for better or for worse. Azuki has managed to bounce and hold the current levels, even the Beanz are looking greener (no pun intended).

What do you see as more valuable, the ETH or the NFT? This kind of market makes it difficult to choose and some assets may have a higher return on investment via ETH during this rough climate. Short term buys are not looking appetizing.

A lost Robbie just recently sold for a healthy amount; However, the last one from this collection sold for a significant amount more. This stirred up the timeline amongst artists and critics alike. Sales for all artists have been in a downward trend, and sales for something that many don't find appealing and moreso a piece that was generated via code has some artists in their feels.

Planet X

We were joined by James from @play_planetx which has been 3 years in the making and started out as a web2 game. He said his first space he tuned in to in web3 was an @alienfrens space, you love to see it 🖖. During the development of the game he saw the advantages and potential of building using the blockchain. His experience with Fortnite and digital ownership just made things click.

Planet X is already a complete game as opposed to the typical "web3 gaming" mint-to-build model that hasn't really seen success as of yet.

He wanted a game that has intense competition like winning a Battle Royale in Fortnite but offers real world rewards with a global treasure hunt that happens every single day. People join the map at a set time with "x" amount of treasure chests. If you find a treasure chest with something like a pair of Jordans, you win it instantly, but with one caveat; You have to take your prize to the extraction point during which time any other player can take your chest if they encounter and battle you.

If you own an X droid you are eligible to compete in extreme hunts. The X droids are the actual NFT that will be mintable assets on launch. If the Mint goes as planned, there will be a Tesla up for grabs, yes that Tesla.

It’s been looking rather rosey in traditional markets. Friday markets closed higher on both the Nasdaq and S&P, and today things are unchanged but nothing is expected as tomorrow is the 4th of July, a national holiday in the US.

Friday is the US payrolls number, so watch out for that as the reports have come in above expectations previously.

Crypto is doing well with Bitcoin sitting around $31,000 and ETH sitting in the $1,900 range.

Coinbase stock is up 28% on the week. BlackRock's ETF filling is set to be a success with the big news being they have named Coinbase as their exchange of choice to do business; they still have yet to refile, while Fidelity has already restarted the process.

The sentiment around NFTs is not great. As soon as ETH broke through $1,900, it seemed to spark optimism about it continuing to rally causing people to liquidate their assets in favor of greater returns, along with the perceived failure mints and reveals. Bored apes are now trading around 28-27 ETH with Mutants down in the 5-7 ETH range. Collections that were seemingly outperforming over the past week have just gotten hammered, and to add to the fire, Elon limited the amount of tweets we could read on our favorite platform.

A major issue with the current PFP meta is with projects trying to duplicate what Bored Ape Yacht Club has done to achieve the success they have up to this point, when we have clearly seen this fail time and time again. The original strategy of working with the first generation being supported by companions, V2, a coin, 3 airdrops and a cheap hoodie is just simply not working.

STUBS

We were joined by this week's stubs artist, the duo of @EM1T and @Raskalov who do urban exploration and climbing to sickening heights across the entire globe. Raskalov grew up in Ukraine exploring, climbing local trees, and anything else he encountered. The duo climbed the Giza pyramids, a 2100 ft tower in Shanghai, the highest heights in NY, and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.

Em1t has gone against the grain since his youth, and being rebellious through art offers him the rush of climbing new heights while also offering something valuable to people. Em1t describes that his introduction to NFTs was through @SuperchiefNFT gallery where he made physical pieces and was advised to hop into the rabbit hole we all call home. Shoutout to ED!

Traditional markets and equities haven't seen a major move either with the Nasdaq down slightly. Interest rates had a pretty big move after Powell spoke yesterday alluding to further rate hikes this year. This is opposite of what people were expecting, with the last bit of shared info pointing to a pause on hikes.

Crypto is rallying today after the lull yesterday. BTC is at $31.5k and ETH is at $1830. The general consensus is if Bitcoin breaks past 31k there will be a rally up, but it's all speculation. This is NFA!

The ETH/BTC pair is at 12 month lows. The stage seems to agree that Proto-danksharding will save us (not really but it's fun to say and type).

Latest updates from the SEC rampage is pointing to a good outcome for crypto as a whole. It seems that it might not even be up to the SEC to make certain decisions and we could see some light on the horizon yet.

There is also news of FTX attempting a revival, which has ruffled some feathers to say the least. There are some major investors trying to buy back into the bane of the crypto space which is surprising to most.

NFTs are still having a bit of fallout after the Azuki Elementals mint. The floor price on the new collection has stayed basically the same, for both revealed and unrevealed beans, although some of the rare ones have fetched a proper price. @ZAGABOND is supposed to speak tonight in a holders-only setting, which is causing some speculation. If he has something positive to share or hint at, we could see some good price action as a result. There is still the unknown influence of the green beans on the entire ecosystem as well.

BoDoggos

We were joined by @EasyEatsBodega who recently dropped the @BoDoggosNFT on Solana. The doggos went through a complete revamp of the art leading up to the launch before landing on the beloved canine jpegs we have now. You can bet that Easy has big plans for this collection! They have already hit 87k SOL in volume.

You can expect to see more rollouts on the Bodoggos page, more comics, some animations etc. Content, product, community are the 3 focal points for the team.

Yuga

@yugalabs launched a trailer on HV-MTL and the Forge. There is also a big explainer video out, showing some exclusive features based on what sets you hold, as well as some sort of cleaning mechanism, Dyor. The game is powered by Apecoin, so it seems logical that in game purchases will be made using the token. There are 6 different stages of the HV-MTL mechs, so we have no idea what their final forms will look like.

Strong day in macro which supported the move up for traditional markets. Some talk of a ban on crypto in china has led to some false news and misplaced FUD. Saylor is buying bitcoin again, and has bought $350 million worth of bitcoin over the past 3 months as an ongoing buyer of bitcoin year over year. This recent acquisition in the given time period is the equivalent of buying 200 Bitcoin per day! The rumor making the timeline is that he pushed Bitcoin to 31k, but it just isn't possible given the insane daily volume even though he is buying a small islands worth daily.

The NFT space is going bonkers after the @Azuki reveal yesterday. It is unclear how they will be able to bounce back from this, and the only lingering hope is these green beans that nobody has any solid information about…but the contract points to some burn mechanism. Apparently a green bean loading was announced back in December, and isn’t something new.

We had @gmoneyNFT on who states that an L for Azuki is an L for all of us. If you are doing a drop to expand the community, selling to only the existing community is not ideal. The apology from the team was odd as well, since it seemed to point to more beans instead of resolving the current issue.

@batzdu put a tweet out about Azuki basically being finished, which is really tough to read from a respected figure like batz.

@osf_rekt thinks they have taken a massive hit and speculates that they may have rushed this mint. They have successfully raised money and built a war chest, despite just fluffing the community with another 10k duplicates.

There is a community warning about the Green Beans since they have not been officially confirmed by the team. It might be best to not interact until there is some clarity, stay safe!

The anime is the biggest hope at this point, they have confirmed it is in the works so it will be interesting. The downside is that might take even more than the 40 mil they just raised to create a full on series of the highest quality.

@steezysloth points to the strategic aspect of the launch. The intent was to get new people into the garden but there was never a viable path for new entrants with the mint. He also sees an issue with the liquidity pull; one thing that most people are overlooking is the giant 40 million bag they are now holding, and now success will just be about regaining the communities trust as they have already won in terms of cash. -We Heart the Steeeez!-

There are roughly 50% of the beans revealed at this point, so this is a fairly accurate depiction of the entire collection, but we may be in fore some surprises yet.

The stage went on to discuss what makes a project great, and most of it has nothing to do with the amount of money they hold or have raised. Imagine if you had 200-300 close friends IRL, you could do so much. This is the appeal of most projects and huge treasuries that aren't necessarily required to make a great NFT project.

Traditional markets are seeing a bit of bounce. We lost some ground yesterday but things are back up today. Interest rates haven't been moving much and OSF thinks we won't see much activity over the next few months given the recent stance of the Fed.

Rumors of Fidelity filing for a BTC ETF seem to be true. There was also some positive news around Coinbase and Blackrock collaborating in some capacity, and Coinbase’s stock has seen some positive movement as a result.

Macro data points are becoming less important in regards to impact since the Fed has been very clear on their plan and how it will be executed. Inflation is still a factor, but unless it comes in as a big miss/higher, there isn't much to expect.

Not a great day in NFTs heading into the @Azuki elemental mint. Most collections have sold off leading to the mint. Yesterday's volumes across were in the 35 million range and the total value of this mint will exceed this, for some perspective. The amount of liquidity in the Azuki ecosystem is large and holders are locked and loaded, and Mando speculates that it will sell out before the public mint. Hopefully it goes well and trades up from the break. It's still a dangerous event and if it turns sour it could really lead to blood in the streets.

Apecoin DAO Council

A brief description of the candidates who came on the show today. The real gold in this episode came from the candidates' responses to various questions. Worth listening back if you want info on who to give your votes to.

@karmapocket Sold a company to Alibaba and started investing in crypto/NFTs. He joined the ApeCoin DAO in 2021 and started his own DAO and investment fund. His goal is to see global representation within the ApeCoin DAO.

@Waabam_eth Worked at a law firm and entered web3 before finding Ape Coin and participating in the DAO. He has already created working AIP's and has few in the works for the future. His goal is to spread the coin to the masses while creating opportunity.

@CapetainTrippy, has been an entrepreneur and business owner over the last 15 years, growing from the bottom up to be a successful business owner. Early in 2021, he bought an ape post mint and started being an active community member focused on the long term success of the apes. The DAO is an opportunity for him to use his skills to operate and ultimately grow the platform.

@byswickie minted an ape and then later acquired her ape, Kiki, who has become quite the persona in the space. She comes from a journalism and academic background, and has run various community events for the apes and outside collections. She thinks it's important to have a very balanced council, and her focus is on the community aspect and spreading awareness of the DAO.

Don’t forget to cast your votes! 1 Apecoin = 1 vote!

Today was our host Mando's birthday so he was out enjoying the sun and touching grass. Our other host osf had obligations as well so we were joined by the legendary Michaela who brought the vibes.

The feature of today's show was DEM from Azuki sharing a stage with us. Azuki is currently holding an event in Las V Vegas, NV with over 20 different individual events all tied to the community. Our very own Threadguy and Leap are running around the city and being documented by Jordan.

Stuff just went absolutely insane after the close of the show yesterday. BTC peaked at nearly 31k and ETH went up to $1830. Many other alts are seeing movement, with the two major coins seeing the most positive action. Mando is still looking to dips in ETH & BTC vs loading up on an alt.

Tokenization could be a 5 trillion dollar industry according to Bernstein! A crazy sentiment to hear, and it's following the Blackrock and other funds etc efforts.

Stocks and Bonds are now seeing weakness and crypto is running strong. This is a complete reversal of the past few weeks and strengthens the decoupling narrative for crypto.

Azuki is one of the most interesting stories in the space. Amidst consistent downward pressure, adukis have held strong or crept up. They are having an event this weekend in Vegas that has adequate hype behind it.

There is a blackrock NFT that was a free mint apparently and is seeing some movement. No not the investment fund, they are literally just black rocks.

NFTs are momentum assets. The higher the price the more attractive it is. If the price goes down, it's very likely that it will go down again today.

Our favorite mutant, @notthreadguy successfully made it into the next round of the Ape Coin Dao Council vote which is set to start today.

Very interesting 24 hours in Macro; What we've seen is some weakness in stocks after successive days of positive action, as well as some decoupling of stocks from crypto, with little apparent correlation. It seems to be moving on its own without any link to the macro environment.

The headlines when we hit the local lows recently have led to many large investment firms following suit with Blackrock's attempt to create an ETF for Bitcoin. There have been some very strong pushes into the crypto market as a result. Imagine a future where financial advisors are offering BTC as a part of long term financial plans.

Although this is a net positive for the entire crypto market, this is very much a Bitcoin dominant narrative. Be wary of buying up alts in hope of riding the wave up, there will be corrections and BTC will likely be the overall winner when this cycle is complete.

Jerome Powell says "we see stable coins as a form of money" basically slapping the SEC and their securities battle in the face

We haven’t really seen NFTs sell off from the crypto move, it has basically been a wash. The main move mover has been the Mutants which have dropped below 8. Yugalabs also dropped some news about something with the Forge and their HV-MTL game.

There is some heavy FUD around the Moonbirds, with people bringing up discord messages from 6 months ago where Kevin Rose said he would FUD himself if xyzzy didn't happen.

Jeff staple and Gmoney dropped their collab at Paris fashion week> The hat is black on black and features a big pigeon dropping splat on the brim, are you in?

TallyLabs

We were joined by the @TallyLabsNFT team. You may or may not remember the V1 Azurians, but they heeded the community and have come back stronger than ever. IF you own a Bored & Dangerous NFT, you can burn it for 1 of 3 possible Azur Root pass, which is essentially a mint pass. The team shared that you want to burn before tomorrow because they are giving away a gold Azur Root for holders of roots.

The books still have a use for the Bored & Dangerous writers room, but the community is showing up and burning happily, straight fahrenheit 451 status.

The new art has already been well received and let's be real everybody loves a good comeback story.

GM Web3 ☀️Recap - Jun 20, 2023

Degenz Market Report by @osf_rekt and @rektmando

Markets are opening lower with the S&P and the Nasdaq down almost 1% after yesterday's market close. Equities are hovering within a similar range that they have been. This is just a quiet time period in between the FOMC and the next major events

Bitcoin dominance went up slightly and almost hit 27k, but it has fallen short. ETH was at 1830 last time we saw Bitcoin at 27k, showing the continued weakness in Ethereum.

There has been talk lately of dollar strength in headlines, and the commodities market seeing trades in currencies outside of the dollar.. The dollar makes up something like 70% of bank currencies, so it will take a long time to truly weaken. Mando says it's definitely possible over the course of the next hundred years, not 6 months.

NFTs

It feels like the only real thing going on yesterday was Yugalabs FUD. Contributing factors include Gordon leaving, who was a huge community player, especially in regards to morale, and there are a lot of different things going on in their ecosystem, making it difficult to keep up with. As a result, Apes dipped briefly below 40 ETH causing FranklinisBored to fire up the buy machine and start sweeping

If you are an NFT project based in IP, you are just simply not making money right now. The hope of future IP use is seeming to surface as something that might be a reach for most. However, volume in BAYC is still looking healthy…Even as it stands they are pulling in millions annually on royalties.

TAY 🦊

@tayvano_ who built metamask has built wallets in the space for years with a focus on constantly improving wallet security; She is also a hobbyist on chain sleuth. The atomic wallet hack is the current focus of sleuthing that she is doing with @zachxbt . There is a ton of money moving, and the catalyst for the hack is still unknown even by the atomic wallet.

Wallet creation is what led Tay to the on chain sleuthing. If a user had their wallet compromised, Taylor would follow the money and try to get clues to the user and the money's location.

An essential to on chain sleuthing is keeping a pulse on the space, especially when funds enter a smart contract. Knowing how things work and how they are ever changing helps to understand the weird things and odd movements seen on etherscan.

Tay shared some safety tips for us:

1. GET A HARDWARE WALLET!

2. Write down your seed phrase using paper! Don't take a picture, paper is really difficult to hack. Write it down in a few places!

3. Do not keep all of your funds in one wallet! In the event of a phishing attack or wallet compromise, you want to have your funds distributed amongst multiple addresses. Siloed funds ensure you do not lose everything via one tragic event!

@farokh highlights that many larger accounts have recently been attacked via SIM swaps. Do not set SMS 2FA for your crypto as this is the entry point for this type of attack.

Degenz Market Report by @osf_rekt and @rektmando

Kind of quiet with equities being sworn over the past few opens and today is Juneteenth, so traditional markets are closed.

We had a bounce back in crypto on Friday with BTC in the 26k range and ETH is sitting in the mid 1700's. The fact that Bitcoin ended higher on the close of the week last night is a good look. Although Ethereum was not named as a security, there are still questions to be answered regarding regulation from the SEC, and as a result, ETH continues to underperform

$APE dipped below $2.00 yesterday making for some overshared screenshots on the timeline.

Fidelity Investments is also joining suit and filing for a BlackRock style, spot Bitcoin ETF and have acquired Grayscale.

NFTs

Still a busy week for jpegs across the board. Yugalabs finger pointing was the trend over the weekend with the floor dipping quite a bit. A big liquidation event on BLEND is causing concerns that could result in a large batch of assets pushing the floor lower. Mando points out that this type of event has happened many times in the past and the collections tend to recover.

The flurry around generative art seems to have gone quieter; Interest continues but volumes have seemed to halt after the resolution of the Sothebys auction.

"I think AI art is going to be bigger than generative art" - Hot Mando take

Updates

Nike announced they are holding a sneaker hunt inside of Fortnite titled Airphoria. The big takeaway for the space is seeing the dot.SWOOSH logo in the ending tying it back to Nike's web3 initiatives. YLTCI

Canary Labs is having an event in London in collaboration with W1 Curates with artwork being displayed at their gallery for the next couple weeks. The gallery features a load of great artists from the space representing pieces from OSF & Mando's collection as well as various pieces from the artists.

STUBS

We had @apocalypticform on as this week's STUBS artist. He has been making art for 30 years and started with huge ambitions in the art world before becoming a Dad and having a family. He ended up continuing to create art on the side, inspired by his work and his view on how much culture affects society. The ideas in people's minds, their dogmas, their priorities were all things that piqued apoc's art. He interviewed people trying to shift societies for the better and leaders trying to make changes pre-covid.

Jake the degen bought his first piece who was then followed by 6529. He officially went full time into art 2021 and has been going hard ever since. His work ranges from attempting to display the utopia side of potential outcomes in some of his work. Other pieces depict coarser ideas like the masks worn everyday, yet he uses color and themes outside of the usual dark imagery associated with something heavy like this.

equities are really strong "like bull" as of late. Stoke are up again today even if on ly slightly. This has been a monster mover nearly 10-15% up on the month.

WE saw a bit of a bounce with crypto yesterday being led by Bitcoin. It does feel like there is a lot of shorting going on in crypto and TA is pushing a bearish narrative. With stocks pushing we are all hoping for crypto to follow suit and perhaps it will once things level out.

OSF pointed out that people are calling this a bear market squeeze, yet that isn't really a fair statement as this has been something building up over the last 12 months.

The blackrock ETF filing did come to fruition. Mando does see this as a positive.

We also had burn for clown vamps STUBS piece!

GM Web3 ☀️Recap - June, 14 2023

Degenz Market Report by @osf_rekt and @rektmando

Another day of stocks up higher! Interest rates did sell off a little bit yesterday, possibly due to inflation numbers being priced in, but they did rebound already.

Crypto had a very small bounce with BTC up to 26k and ETH in the same $1700 range.

FOMC is today, if they pause rates this will be the first shift after many many months. The market is pricing in rate cuts for q4, although the FED has said otherwise in their commentary. Our hosts are expecting an uneventful meeting for the most part.

A US judge blocked assets at Binance US in order to force negotiations; This is one of the first obstacles in front of the SEC's warpath to attack crypto.

NFTs

Azuki is having their Vegas event and they are holding it down for the "blue chips". $Meme drop is also incoming for the Memeland ecosystem and captains are holding strong around 9 ETH floor.

A Fidenza traded at 130 ETH along with a few other notable Fidenza sales.

The Blur token unlock is today with 7% of supply set to be released with the token currently sitting at $0.31.

The Apecoin DAO council is making waves again with the upcoming election. Our favorite mutant @notthreadguy is running for a seat! It's tough to see the fruit of the council over the course of the last 6 months following the last election; We had promising elects, and threads full of ambition, but no real results that anyone can point to. The 25k per month salary is forcing some uneasy feelings on the community during this bear market when everything is down.

FEWOCiOUS

Yesterday, Fewo announced his first collaboration with @adidasoriginals! Fewo joined us to share his experience of creating a huge canvas with linework of a kid in his room looking outside at the Adidas trefoil in Fewo's style. The shoe actually tells a story about the kids adventure and no detail is accidental, and the laces are of course blue with painterly clouds in fun Fewo fashion.

Collect.adidas.com/fewocious has all of the information along with some amazing Fewocious visuals. The Fewos are coming out later this summer, and holders will have the opportunity to claim a wearable version of the Adidas sneakers!

Inflation was the big topic today with CPI coming at 4% vs expectations of 4%, down from 4.9% compared to last month. This marks the 12th month in a row of inflation marching lower, which is a great sign

Stocks are up on both the Nasdaq and S&P, while rates sold off again.

Crypto saw a pump off of the lows before selling off, returning to yesterday’s levels.

FOMC is tomorrow, which is in sync with Rekt Radio as per usual. Will we be rekt or recover?

NFTs

Tons of Bored ape sales happened, and one giant holder is defending the entire floor, which has remained basically unchanged around the 45 ETH level. There has been serious volume in the collection despite the floor being relatively unchanged.

The new website is a revamped design with tons of new features, check it out at degenz.finance

#FireGaryGensler

@warrendavidson is attempting to introduce legislation that will solve some abuse of power problems in the SEC and move to fire Gary Gensler.

This seems like a direct response to Gary's message about laws from the 1930's regulating things that exist today.

@osf_rekt spoke to the positive speculation around the regulatory FUD going on around the questions of securities. This has been one of the more serious threats to the foundation of crypto in the US; headlines have hit and prices have fallen.....but all in all, they haven't fallen that much. Perhaps this isn't MAX fud just yet but there is a general sentiment of doom. As a result, there are some assets that have fallen to appetizing lows.

Sothebys

@michaelbouhanna VP, head of digital art and NFTs & contemporary Art specialist @Sothebys joined us to share his excitement about the upcoming Grails part II auction set to start June 15th.

Sothebys is offering various different sales channels across multiple locations; their goal is to tap into multiple markets. The focus is very much in the Grails II auction as it displays the various stages of early generative art on chain.

There are already something like 600 bids set for the pieces at auction. The auction house has also made attempts to inform and educate about generative art by holding panels and discussions around the art style and the history of it all. There is a physical gallery that exhibits vinyl prints of select pieces like the goose, but also some areas that display certain pieces digitally.

There is a lot happening. Macro is very very strong, and we’re at YTD highs with interest rates and equities almost in a price discovery phase. CPI is coming in tomorrow which will be a big number; if we are in line or beat, there will likely be a rally. We are also nearing the end of the FOMC which will reveal the plans of the Fed going forward and shape the latest market narrative.

Crypto is not following suit. Everything is hunched and/or going lower with Bitcoin dropping into the 25k range, ETH in the 1700's, and all of the alt coins have just been getting destroyed lately.

It is a tough landscape, and Mando speculates that when we start to see new participants, they will likely create a new narrative to rally behind; Most coins and/or NFTs will have a very difficult time reaching their ATH's again. Diversity is not the winning play given this type of information.

NFTs have been rising most of last week. It felt like Apes were going to hit 60 eth, and punks were creeping on local highs; This has all basically reversed and the collections have all fallen. There is some crazy red on the charts with collections like Cool Cats at 0.5 ETH which is tough to see.

The grails auction at Sotheby's is set to continue. The expected top winner is the famous goose Ringer, with the auction anticipated to close with a final bidin the $2-3 million dollar range.

@DegenzNFT is getting a revamp that is going live today, expect some big changes on their website layout, interface and more.

STUBS

Today we introduced our latest STUBS artist @ClownVamp. He is an AI artist that was born a vampire. NY based, which is an odd place for a Vampire, he has a body of work that imagines a fake retrospective of a gay artist that existed in a time when virtually zero art reflected this lifestyle.

His work is always telling a story and expressing his love for visual art, all while being empowered by the new wave of AI.

The Men of The Dance is the STUBS piece that will be redeemable on Friday. This is a part of his fake career series from the perspective of Chester Charles who was partial to his male subjects and making art in the 1930's.

He has an exhibit in NY at the Oculus in NY! Tickets are still available!

No Farokh today, just our two Macro wizards!

Decent day in equities, Nasdaq is approaching ytd high interest rates are offf the highs. Interestingly enough Crypto does not want to follow the macro trends.This is the fifth or sixth time we are not seeing crypto follow in tow of traditional market rallies. Apple has been in the headlines, and there is movement but crypto has just not caught wind.

At this point we should hope that crypto is decoupling a bit, in this position if we see a major macro dip and crypto follows we will see some bleeding.

Apple News and progress poses the question as to whether this could drive some interest and traffic in the direction of metaverse, ETH and digital assets. At least we are all hoping that Apple will buy our bags.

Ben and batboy have parted way and the whole shitcosystem is down by significant percentages. As a result of the poopcoin season ending, we actually are seeing some liquidity move back into NFTs, volumes are slowly returning. Mando points out that we are seeing positive action but the days are still "decent" at best and not quite worth writing home about.

Degods are creating a type of community based website that allows y00ts and degods holders to be followed by the main accounts if you are holder which was received very well by everyone.

Azuki is pulling through the ranks as one of the most successful projects of the year with a steadily rising floor price and community that has stayed on fire.

The dead ringers from Dmitri Cherniak auction has kicked off. Originally the pieces sold to 3ac for millions it will be interesting to see what prices these fetch via the route of the auction house. OSF points out that the auction houses don't just list things at 0 reserve and see what happens, there is extensive research into the climate around any given asset and they have a proper assessment of the perceived value prior to going live. It is still very clear that big money is very interested in rare crypto art, and this type of rare generative art might not be available again for a very long time. Original sale prices of 6-7 million, may not be fetched but even half of this amount is enough to make headlines.

The Apple headset may have serious impact on the virtual world space given that they are moving in the direction of Mixed reality/augmented reality. The pure VR or typical metaverse idea could be left behind if this sees huge success.

We have our new STUBS artist reveal today with Laurence Fuller

FCC sues Binance over us securities rules, following their onslaught of attacks towards the different crypto related institutions. The allegations say Binance mislead users and it seems to be a bit deeper than the coinbase allegations if you read into the words being used around it.

The talk was quality and a great listen for all participants, especially fellow founders. Luca Nets joined in the banter as he was mentioned during Kevins onslaught.

Not much to report today because traditional markets are CLOSED. The debt ceiling deal reached a resolution, nobody is shocked. Crypto pumped a bit on the back of it, ETH hit $1900 and Bitcoin is bordering 28k. OSF imagines we could still see a rally when markets open up. We have Payrolls and the FOMC in the coming weeks, following some good headlines we could be in store for some positive movement.

The chartists have had their predictions dissolved with the upwards price action. Our pro's talk about how chartists can be correct despite the charts not playing out the way it was drawn up. Trends are trends, and the people who don't follow charts will often have the same predictions as the chartists. If their last charts were wrong, they just create a new one and move on.

NFTs

It seems that Ordinals have taken over the press for our beloved jpegs. Bitcoin frogs have been killing it volume wise and are back around 0.1 bitcoin. There was a meme movement in the BRC-20's. Oxbt, that ran up to about $50 million market cap and has settled around $30 mil. Many of the same trends that have happened on ETH are being replicated on Bitcoin and it's clearly reaching a new audience.

Magic Eden has a very good bitcoin marketplace. The BRC-20's are traded on Unisats. Mando sees the implementation of ordinals as a "better" use case than BRC’s based on the user interface and apps surrounding the innovations. It's probably best to focus on the big winners that have the potential to make it through the long term, most projects and new tokens will end up as trash and everything early is not historical.

This all comes with the bad actors trying to take advantage so stay vigilant and cautious. Many of the people who left the space are re-entering, seeing a window of opportunity to get new users out of their bitcoin. Be incredibly weary of narratives, and veer away from over diversification.

China has been shining through headlines, with all types of rumors and speculations based on different media events, phrases being said, and even images being shared that are seen as pro-crypto. Hong Kong is releasing a new licensing process, but this also came with tall grey regulations that make it unclear how a normal market participant is supposed to conduct themselves. Over the medium term this could play out well, and everyone will be watching for updates in the next coming months.

Pudgy Penguins who have been making headlines for their plushies on amazon, had a separate drop on NTWRK of 150 collectibles that sold out in 10 seconds!

STUBS

This week's STUBS artist is none other than our great friend of the show @camila_artwork!!!!! Who is Camila? - a Portuguese digital artist who knew she wanted to be an artist from a very young age. Her father was an architect, her aunt is a painter and her family is full of different artistic influences. In 2016 she started working professionally as an artist. When she discovered NFTs she already had a community around her and her art but was able to blossom and flourish using the blockchain experience.

These days she is mostly focused on 1/1's on super rare but has also done some editions recently.

Her art brings good vibes and offers a lighter view on things via her choice of colors and cartoon-like perspective on her subjects.

Most of her work is also accompanied by music or audio that just adds to the peaceful, tranquil vibe of her work. One of her biggest inspirations is Japanese woodblock prints, you will see a lot of Japanese looks and influence in her work.

Stubs collectors will have a chance to win a 1/5 edition out of the 64 available to mint. Claim your free stubs and be prepared for the burn!

Degenz Market Report by @osf_rekt and @rektmando

Another good day for stocks today with the S&P up 1% and the Nasdaq up 1.5%. Interest rates are heavy and were up almost 1.6% on 2 yr treasury. OSF thinks this may be due to PCE numbers coming in properly, as well as some constructive talk around the US debt issue. Interest rates have sold off for basically the past two weeks with stocks rallying which is inverse from the norm.

Crypto is up slightly but still lagging behind stocks which have moved up roughly 10% higher. @farokh checked price, price was good.

The payrolls report is coming next friday which is the next major macro event.

ETH 4 LIFE

@0xfoobar joined us to tell us that BTC is going 0 after we had the bitcoin Maxis on stage yesterday. He also described the nuanced differences and advantages of using ERC-20's vs Bitcoin and BRC-20's, ordinals etc. He says that Bitcoin is basically a great store of data, but not a practical, or even capable, choice for many of the things we are seeing built on ethereum.

"People saying they will build ZK rollups on Bitcoin are just flat out lying" - foobar

Conceptually, you could hard fork the chain completely and update things, but this is just not realistic, and a soft fork doesn't solve the issues because the problems are on the main chain. What people are doing on Bitcoin is just a worse version of Ethereum; they are recreating things with less efficient tech.

GM

The positive side to what's happening on BTC is that there could be a cultural advancement around the first coin and the space as a whole. Hopefully people experiment and break things which leads to people trying to fix things and finding solutions to further advance blockchain tech.

Non EVM chains to 0! (jk we love BTC still but had to provide some ETH propaganda after yesterdays episode)

Jalil & Checks

@jalil_eth joined us from Germany! He has been a friend of Jack Butcher for years, prior to web3. He has worked with the Visualize Value brand and Checks behind the scenes on the coding side.

The original Checks project was minted on Zora with the original concept of just burning checks to reduce supply to get to the single checks being ousted; The problem was that this didn't reward everyone. Jalil points to the different traits of the checks that are all determined on chain; This all tells the story of wanting things to be immutable and how the community will create the art based on their decisions.

Jalil was mainly a programmer for 10 years and only recently became involved in the Ethereum world over the past few years. His passion comes from a love for combining technology with art.

Code is Art.

He tells a story of having to rewrite the entire Elements code due to an economical issue that was brought up that might have allowed for people to get early access. He rewrote it all along with the user interface for elements just days before launch.

"The power of Art inspires us to act a certain way, and checks does this." - Jalil

There will be two new Opepen sets available for holders to opt in. Apparently, Batsoup’s art was the original inspiration for the Opepens!

We were joined by Orlando to talk @nftees_com, an idea where you can wear your NFTs. You just choose one from your wallet and then you can rock it on clothing. There is an option to do digital wearables or physical clothing!

Dress to Flex,

@mylama_eu is an exchange that allows for traditional currencies to be used and is expanding globally. @brighamsantos is the founder of the LAMA bank, with the goal of pushing the mission of mass adoption. They want to enable new participants to buy/sell crypto and NFTs in a safe and secure way.

A good start to the day for equities with the Nasdaq up on the back of NVIDIA earnings; this seems to be a direct result of AI income. Their market cap appears to have reached 1 trillion!? As a result of Nvidia, tech stocks are up roughly 2%. Notable mention that the CTO of NVIDIA was also quoted earlier this year saying crypto doesn't offer anything useful.

Crypto bounced slightly in line with tech stocks but not really a noteworthy move price wise.

We saw a move lower with Miladys, due to the BLEND downward pressure. Mutant apes are also suffering from the downward spiral effect of BLEND. It feels like the narrative is shifting around BLEND as projects experience an initial pump but then plummet, which to be fair is not the fault of the platform itself.

0n1 Force aloha finally dropped, and they are said to have a new CTO which looks like the start to a strong team being built for the anime based collection.

Hape Prime, from Jan 2022, made by Digimental Studio, was purchased by Vertex Labs for $12 million. Mando thinks this is a high price, and compares it to the recent valuation for Pudgy Penguins.

10 new squiggles sold and there was some trading around the sales. There was also a blind auction that closed yesterday in the 19 ETH range featuring squiggles that are minted by @ArtOnBlockchain

. There are now only 226 more Squiggles left unminted now.

@DavidFBailey CEO of @bitcoinmagazine joined our stage along with the grand wizard @udiWertheimer

.

David joined the stream poolside but was rugged due to beautiful weather on the island.

In 2018 the Bitcoin conference was built along with the resurrection of Bitcoin magazine, which was purchased from Vitalik Buterin! 2012 is when David found out about bitcoin and he originally thought it was a scam, and even tried to prove to his friend that it was. Obviously he failed, and this was the onset of his Maxi tendencies. He went all-in on BTC in 2013 and it's been history ever since.

He also spoke about color coins, which were a paper written by Vitalik, and ordinals being a revamp of this original idea leading to a resurgence of this ancient tech.

David describes layer 2 solutions that will be built in the future via the fees on bitcoin being created today, laying down and creating new infrastructure will usher BTC to be the accessible amazing tech that it has potential to be!

BTC OG's and maxis are coming out of the woodwork to create on top of the ordinals protocol. David imagines 10's of millions of dollars being poured in and 100's of thousands of developers surfacing to push the bar.

The platforms that drive the most fees to miners and carry the most influence will push the bar exponentially. There are many competing visions for what comes next in BTC, but anything that has been built on ETH has the potential to be built on bitcoin and tried for success.

UDI points out that the reason many things were built on Ethereum were not a result of technical inability, but rather a cultural barrier that had never been overcome.

@huuep spoke on how fees are low now but in the future when fees are high things will have to be done differently. For instance, inscribing art is affordable now so take advantage as it may be out of reach in years to come.

Traditional markets are not off to a great start today. The 21 day treasury auction ended yesterday at a yield of 6.2%, due to a lack of resolution about the debt ceiling talks. The auctioned bills are set to reach maturity around the "X-date", when the Treasury expects the government to no longer be able to pay its debts if Congress doesn't reach a deal. As the end of the month approaches the fear is escalating and the talk is getting louder.

Bitcoin is down to $26.8k and the ETH is down to $1,741. It seems like the natural progression considering the state of the traditional markets. This looks like an appetizing dip, but be cautious as we are not in a stable environment.

The dollar has been showing some strength which is actually dragging down the value of other things, like crypto. Whether or not the US actually runs out of cash remains to be seen, but our hosts agree that this is an unlikely event and the same people have been on the soap box saying these things for a while. If we come out on the other side of this properly, the rebound will be significant.

Not really much to report over right with NFTs. We saw some more movement in the Artblocks ecosystem, which all started with the big Fidenza sales; we also saw some decent ape sales including a crown and gold grin. Miladys is still bringing decent volume since the Elon tweet but the floor has fallen to the 3 eth range.

RarePass genesis' were swept and the floor is up to 15 eth.

Captainz and the 9gag ecosystem are making waves and talks of the $MEME coin are still in the air. Legality, hype, untapped market and huge following are the perfect formula for a successful launch.

@punk9059 thinks PFPs are in a rough state. Miladys have been dominating via BLEND volume. The current trend is a floor price pump after a BLEND announcement and then once its live a huge dump of supply from big holders. Events like a massive mutant ape dump in the hundreds or the looming holder who has ~400 CLoneX are keeping the market shaky. There are roughly 30 big farmers controlling the big bids and dumping.

There are currently 24k ETH worth of bids on mutants meaning the liquidity is still there despite the feeling of a shrinking market. @k2_nft is a great account to follow to get informed on the BLEND bid/dump world.

@Ledger recover has been delayed and put on the back burner. They have responded to the market's reaction about the recovery system. They are starting with a white paper on the recovery protocol and slowly making the OS open source.

@cz_binance posted a video of China Central Television (CCTV) covering crypto topics that went viral. Starting from June 1st, the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong will be implementing a mandatory licensing regime for virtual asset trading platforms. @Alicia_MEXC thinks this is bullish news as it will bring in new participants and create a safer way for the public to interact.

Stocks are down and interest rates are up to nearly 4.4% on 2yr treasuries, which is the highest it's been since march. The US debt ceiling conversation is stirring up emotions and talk around markets, causing general fear.

Crypto is up a slight bit and looking strong with BTC around $27.3k and ETH around $1850, while alt coins are not following suit. The layer 2 story is still a strong narrative but all of the layer 2 coins are not doing well price-wise. A new issue for other chains is that Bitcoin has become the 2nd biggest coin for NFTs now; if it properly adds an application layer, it will be a huge threat not only to ETH but to all chains in general. This certainly raises questions about Layer 1's.

Most of the companies competing will have to use their treasuries to fund development. The more centrally held coins are more susceptible to spending, and it could spell problems in the future.

NFTs

Did you know, T-pain dropped NFTs in 2021? The more you know

There has been a resurgence in the generative art market which seems directly related to the Sothebys auction. Fidenza sales are happening, pushing the floor above 80 ETH and squiggles are making moves now with the floor sitting above 12 eth.

Jack butcher has an IRL auction going on at Christies with pieces going for 11-15 ETH. The sentiment around Jack is great and he is now seen as a mainstay in the space.

What we've seen over the last few weeks is that the higher end of the market is still trading well. Crypto punk hoodies, gold apes, Fidenzas all definitely have the potential to bring up the mid to lower part of the market with it. OSF thinks that the price of ETH will be a decision maker. If it breaks above 2k into the 3k range we could see the high-end sales slow down.

RTFKT saw a bounce and have recovered above 3 ETH, which seems to be a result of the recent sneaker forging. They still have Animus in the works and nearly no news on this big initiative from the project.

A couple MFERS have started a physical product initiative and will be selling chairs in Canadian Lowes!

Bitcoin pizza day was celebrated yesterday, and @Pizza_DAO

kicked off parties all over the world in 120 different cities. We hope you got your slice!

theOMparticle

We were joined by @technicalroom and @FractalWoman to discuss @theomparticle. Fractal woman has been involved in computer science for many years and made her first generative piece using PUNCH CARDS! They have been on the fractal scene since it was created!

Jordan tells stories of warming his winter home in Canada with mining equipment!

Fractals involve an iterative process which is basically a mathematical feedback loop. The mandelbrot fractal is the mothership of all fractals. All others emerge from this source essentially. The IT coin is basically a form of currency that represents the fractals. The OM particles are combined to generate a buddhabrot and the iterations take a certain amount of energy to create, making each IT coin unique.

1 $ITcoin= 1 iteration = 1 free mint of the project.

Equities are holding steady, after experiencing a minor dip on Friday before rebounding to previous levels. Meanwhile, interest rates have seen a significant sell-off, with a substantial 70 basis point movement since the introduction of the banking crisis a few months ago. The current buzz revolves around discussions regarding raising the US debt ceiling, though OSF highlights that this topic has been extensively discussed in the past without any tangible actions taken.

Crypto has been quiet with BTC and ETH hovering around the same levels.

Payrolls are the next major macro event going into next Friday. The FOMC is also coming next month which could be a big one considering it could be the first time in over a year that the Fed might not raise interest rates. Look out for that in June.

Alts have been trading poorly and ETH has acted like a stable, while Bitcoin has seen some lower numbers, threatening to dip below support, but then it just rips back to its norm.

There are a number of short positions across all markets in stocks and bonds which could spell a massive reversal. It is generally agreed that the US will not default, with the key points likely being more in the direction of spending limits and how much gets spent & where going forward. Smart money is shorting, but most people are positioned for it. Mando points out that the contrarian position is that things are not as bad as they are being painted, and buying dips might be the big play as all dips are instantly being bought up.

"Builders spring. Crypto Summer" - this was a big takeaway from Veecon and a major quote from @jessepollack

OSF imagines that we end the year with a new year-to-date high for Ethereum! How bullish are you?

Quite a lot happened in NFTs over the weekend. Blur kicked off with BLEND dipping into new collections. There were some EPIC DUMPS coming throughout the ecosystem with this type of volume continuing to dominate.

Sotheby’s auctions from 3AC happened with Punks, Fidenzas, Autoglyphs flying off the shelves. For the first time in a long time, NFTs were fetching prices above the expected price, stimulating activity in all of the respective collections.

In celebration of the 1 year anniversary of Rektguy, the foundooors launched a website to accompany the collection. The site includes features like top collectors, largest sales, a Rekt wiki and individual profiles for collectors with badges that serve as accolades for various achievements in the ecosystem.

VeeCon

The Veecon conference remains unrivaled with rave reviews from all who attended. It was a smash hit with a focus on the actual conference, as opposed to the satellite events that seem to take the limelight during other major events of this caliber. Next year may be the last Veecon based on the initial befriends utility, so you don't want to miss it!

Mando highlights the Gary V interview with decrypt and how the focus of the conference could have been AI, but blockchain is basically providing the rails for AI to ride on via provenance and proven ownership/creation.

STUBS

Our STUBS artist this week is @anzomez and the piece is titled “Hate My Mind When I’m Alone”. The piece tells a story through the imagery, and if you look into the different uses of imagery and piece them together you will surely be able to take something from it. His themes tend to be around sadness or disappointment and this piece is true to his art's sentiment.

Don't forget to mint your free STUBS so you can claim the art on Friday!

Pretty benign start in all things in macro. There was some better rhetoric between McCarthy and Biden around the US defaulting, which seems to have had a positive outcome for stocks.

Crypto saw a slight dip on the majors and while writing we are seeing some active movement in prices. This is a time when we might see some volatility, the bears are calling for a dump based on technicals, but the debt deal will be a huge factor in how things play out with a hard stop this weekend on getting the deal done and the market is focused on this event. If the US defaults on its debt it would have a massive impact, however this is a very unlikely outcome.

Crypto is moving on the back of the deal news, while alts have seen a dip; $PEPE is also down and saw another dip this morning. We could still go lower from here across all coins and it seems probable so be prepared and protect your bags accordingly.

NFT floors are basically unchanged or down in the 1-2% range. Yesterday was the HVY-MTL reveal which wasn't initially received, as there was a dip in the price but they have retraced to 1 eth, although their actual use remains to be seen. June will be the last leg of the YUGA multi-week mint and the journey will reach its concluding stage.

@veecon joined us on stage to share in the excitement for the upcoming event. If you are planning on coming make sure to download the app to get proper access. This is the second Veecon event, and based on the original Veefriends mint that promised 3 years of access, this could be 1 of 3 to ever happen so don’t miss it!

@LucaNetz came to chat about mass market IP usage from the perspective of an NFT project. He is trailblazing into the physical toy market via the blockchain; Anyone will be able to buy a toy online with a birth certificate inside the box, a place for a signature, and a QR code next to it that will bring you into the digital universe.

The challenge is onboarding new customers into the world of the @pudgypenguins while offering the experience of being a part of the community. Luca's mission is to deliver a soul bound token that reaches new customers through an enjoyable experience in a painless way that they don't even realize is even happening.

"For me the NFT wins or I lose" - Luca

You have to leverage your audience to trigger algorithms. This applies to amazon as well, so expect to see many mentions of the shipping giant from the Pengus.

We were also joined by @megbatphoto who is our stubs artist #8! She has been shooting photos since high school, beginning on film. She ended up working with a modeling agency, but at the front desk before moving to LA and getting involved on IG as a female photographer. She heard tons of horror stories from women about their experiences with male photographers and became a safe haven for models to feel comfortable and shoot without being harassed.

She was introduced to NFTs 'early' and thought they sounded dumb, but was eventually funneled into the community via clubhouse, minted some work, sold it and has been involved heavily ever since.

Equities were up on close yesterday, but we have given back some of the gains today with Interest rates also rising slightly. Today we had the reported retail sales number come in at 0.4% which was below expectations of 0.8%.

Crypto is also fairly unchanged, BTC above 27k and ETH has been holding in the $1800 range. $APE saw a positive reaction to the HVY-MTL rollout, but is still in the mid $3 range.

There is a loom and doom narrative of the US running out of money and hitting the debt limit around June-July. This has caused bi-partisan talk about raising the debt limit, and made for some complicated negotiations. If the US were to default on its debt it would be a horrific event, things like double digits down in the stock market. Mando doesn't think we see it but it is the banter from the higher ups.

Little more strength seeping back into NFTs. Mutant apes and pudgies were both added to the BLEND protocol. Many popular collections have seen a 5% positive move, a rally in checks up to 0.6 ETH and Opepens up to 0.25. A gold Ape traded for nearly $1 million, which is something we haven't seen in a while, especially on-chain. The wallet that acquired the ape is stacked up, and this their second Gold ape!

It is fairly apparent that $hitcoin season is fading. New contracts have a life cycle of hours and we are seeing things die out before they are even created. Hype cycles have lessened and the overall sentiment on the timeline is not loving the $💩 outside of every reply to every tweet.

@punk9059 shared that there are only 2 revealed Opepens, and only 80 out of the entire collection were made by @jackbutcher himself. These have established immediate provenance and are already trading for 8-10 eth. Every opepen that hasn't been revealed has already been assigned to a rarity so despite not being revealed yet, the 1/1's and 1/20's are fetching premiums.

There was a tweet from BAYC stating that the HVY-MTL boxes will be revealing traits. Seems to have been received positively on the TL.

Rektguy has been seeing some positive movement with volume and Floor price.

Remember the royal edition Bugatti Asprey eggs? All 3 of them sold for 200k each

Ledger

We had @iancr from @Ledger on. Ledger recover is a product they have been working on for 2years now. Today release notes went out that mentioned the product, it got posted on Reddit and has received quite the reaction. Ledger recover is meant to help with onboarding, by helping to eliminate the fear associated with seed phrases and storing them securely. Ledger recover helps give peace of mind without compromising security. At $10/month It allows you to OPTIONALLY secure your funds. It is still self custody, your seed phrase is sharded and combined with three other custodians from three different continents.

There is no backdoor. Your self-custody is not compromised. The phrase can only be put back together from sharing through your personal ledger.

Probably 0

We had the @Probably0 crew on, with @fungibIes, @BCPadawan & @JustKidLash . The product was built out of a need from the space. The app gathers information from different projects into one source that is able to deliver push notifications to your mobile device via a tweet size message summarizing any and all updates from the projects.

They are the first outside project to pass a proposal within the RugDAO and to integrate the $RUG token into their platform.

Traditional markets again don’t have much to report. We have been edging a bit higher in 10yr and 2yr treasuries for interest rates, but still nothing significant. The next big thing is Payrolls and then the next CPI report, so there is a timeframe here without any scheduled major events.

Crypto bounced off the lows across the major coins and alts also, we could be starting to see a small rebound, but nothing notable and very few violent swings, which may be comforting for most bag holders. BTC dipped down to like 25k on Friday and has since recovered, but nothing feels cemented either way. Last week was pretty brutal overall, but this week we may see some consolidation and hopefully less blood and red candles.

"to be clear all $hitcoins are going to zero" - Mando

BLUR season two has now transitioned into season 3 and the effect of the double points has seemed to be distorted. A major event happened with one of the top BLUR points accumulators getting the skull of death, nullifying all of his points and efforts - Definitely a FAFO moment. The season to season progression seems to mean you will have to keep playing the game in order to benefit.

Overall volumes have come down but floor prices across the board have already started recovering as a result. Bored apes, Rektguy and even our beloved Rug Radio NFTs have seen some decent price action. Pudgy Penguins are also approaching 5 ETH and there is some suspense ahead of their May 18th announcement involving Luca’s plan to enter the physical goods front.

Headlines like a major airdrop farmer getting zeroed and floor prices moving up is the exact type of thing we need to see to shift the sentiment.

@jackbutcherannounced he will be diving into the physical world with Elements. Moving the Checks editions into physicals somehow, but using the Opepens which will be gradually revealed? There is currently a physical on display in the window of Christies, you love to see it.

STUBS

Today we announced that @megbatphoto is our artist for STUBS week #8. Her photo is already minted on the Fair page, make sure to check it out and grab your free stubs so you can burn to receive an edition on Friday.

PizzaDAO

We had @snack_man on the show to talk about next Monday's GLOBAL PIZZA PARTY on May 22nd! A party across more than 100 cities all over the world, Bitcoin Pizza day celebrates the time that 10k BTC were used to purchase 2 Papa John's pizzas in May.

Since 2021, @Pizza_DAO has given over $600k in Pizza all around the world. They have partnered with tons of charities and companies to get pies to everyone on the planet. They started out in the early Clubhouse NFT bubble that birthed so much of the culture we enjoy today. They recruited artists to contribute artistic toppings to their Pizza box NFTs, raising 330 ETH.

Traditional markets moved up a bit but came back down already, with interest rates reversing some of the gains as well. BTC and ETH have both seen a dip, ETH dipped to the 1700's and BTC has fallen 5% which is a major move for our number 1 coin.Mando thinks this price action is a result of a technical sell off. The charts are driving certain trading habits and the narratives being pushed around these charts and trades.

It's a quieter day in NFTs than it was yesterday. Miladys continue to dominate the volume but the floor is sitting at 4, fairly far off from the highs. There were some big art sales and some Fidenzas traded but overall volumes are not great. We are at 22 million in trades which is half of the volume we saw yesterday. Not much relief in sight, so buckle up and try to keep your bags above water.

@YAGAMIIIARTS joined us to burn stubs for his piece 'singing in the rain'. a beautiful piece that somehow relates to the times we are going through with clouds above our bags. The burn will be for 5 Stubs and supply is capped at 100.

@banditmfer came through with her $PEPE bags to share some stories about how she got to where she is. @NFTwap who used to make fun of crypto, and was an admitted @farokh hater, is now having the time of his life trading, riding the rollercoaster that is our space and sharing a stage with the hairy GM king.

Wap got into $PEPE super early when the liquidity was nearly non-existent. He took a bid on a Nakamigo and aped into the coin to amass a trillion tokens. He saw the snowball effect happening, made some money on the way up, and still has a huge bag. He is dedicated to riding the ship all the way down, claiming the women and children can exit but he will light a cigar and enjoy the rise of the water. His initial investment was 0.8 ETH and at the top his bag was worth millions; luckily he was able to take some off the table but his $PEPE bag lives on.

Bandit holds degen spaces called Demon hrs (tap in midnight est) and was exposed to $PEPE early on. Her bags peaked around $1.2 million and she is still swinging trades back and forth. Luckily she was able to take some profits as well, her initial investment was .75 and she was able to touch the moon with it. Anything is possible!

The most important part is to continue to have fun. It is literally a meme based coin. Try posting a Pepe meme and laugh about it. The price of $PEPE has dropped but that doesn't change what Pepe stands for, and collectively we all know Pepe is Love.

GM Web3 ☀️Recap - May 11th, 2023

Mixed markets today with stocks unchanged, but there was a big rally in interest rates which are up from 4.6% yesterday. PPI came in today lower than expectations at 2.3%, yet another positive data point for inflation.

Crypto is showing some weakness with red across the charts. OSF is unsure as to why this drop off is happening in crypto and imagines if CPI came in higher than expectations we might have seen a ramp up instead of this. Bitcoin is getting hammered, but gold is doing well and they tend to synchronize.

There was the rumor about the govt wallet that was dumping BTC with a fake tweet causing a huge sell off yesterday. Aggressive moves and flash crashes are surfacing on the major networks which is surprising and something we haven't seen in a while. Good news does make the number go up, but we never seem to recover to the same levels it was at prior.

The number one NFT movement yesterday was Miladys with over 9k ETH in volume. They peaked above 7 ETH floor amidst the hype of the Elon Musk tweet that set the space on fire, but have since settled back down to around 4 ETH since.

If you see Elon tweet something related to the space, chances are he doesn't know what the NFT or meme is actually sourced from. There is always an initial crazy pump and then a violent dump, making it very easy to lose money. Give it some time if you are considering buying on the back of an event like that.

Yesterday there was a public outrage from the $PEPE community, which was set off by an email that Coinbase sent out claiming that they cannot associate with the coin due to it's alt-right group affiliation and use as a "hate-symbol". The frog coin lovers showed up in full force and a call to delete coinbase via hashtag flooded the timeline.

The JOMO effect

We were joined by @shiralazar to talk about the #JOMOeffect, a project focused on mental health and awareness. There is a huge need for mindfulness and mental health tools in our space as we all know; If we are building the foundations for change we need to implement mental health as much and as early as possible.

The team calls for people to not FOMO but experience JOMO, the "Joy of Missing out". If you buy 5, @bobbyhundreds created a JOMO Adam bomb squad. If you Collect all 40 pieces, there is an opportunity for a zoom call with the legendary @DeepakChopra.

Bobby always shows up in the space when mental health is being addressed and sees the issue as paramount. The more we can talk about mental health the more we can get care for the people who need it, which if we are honest, is everybody in the space from founders to holders.

The JOMO effect mint is 24 $MATIC and some of the artists involved sell work for multiple ETH! The proceeds are going to different charities that range from support in India, to LGBTQ support for the youth, to suicide prevention. The Mint is hosted on Magic Eden and there are tons of perks for minters including various discounts. The reveal for the art is tomorrow at 1pm EST and Deepak will be on a space with the JOMO team tomorrow.

Breaking

@iampaulgrewal the chief legal officer of @coinbase renounced their previous statement about $PEPE, claiming they did not paint a full and accurate picture. What will this mean for the meme coin and do we see a coinbase listing as a result?

CPI came in today at 4.9% vs 5% expectations which spells out yet another move lower, all around positive for markets. Stocks are up about 1-1.5% move higher with interest rates also moving a bit on the news.

Crypto is doing ok, BTC is back in the 28k range and ETH is in the 18's which seems to be its stability level these days.

The headlines are stirring things up by pointing to the central bank's goal of 2% for CPI not being reached. The reality is that it's a win to come in below expectations and that should be the focus, but the media will push a narrative that stirs the pot.

NFTs are still not doing well, trading volumes are down around 60% from their levels a few months ago; this has directly affected floor prices and most projects are bleeding. The trend to sell NFTs to buy Memecoins continues for people chasing bags, although Pudgies actually saw some positive movement with the news of their raise. Degods are at 8.69 after their Binance news, and Mutants are at 10 eth, it's been a long time since they were down at these levels.

Michael @saylor talked about Ordinals and stirred up the timeline, with the most famous clip making a bullish thesis on having the blockchain verify a last will & testament worth $1bn and how much that would be worth to someone. #Bullish

ACK's auction The broken keys is doing very well. We featured him yesterday and got some insight into his process and inspirations behind the work. 'Serendipty' is already sitting at 15 eth. Listen back to his segment for the juicy deets.

@theog__ popped in to talk Pepe and memetics. He is a Rare Pepe scientist and has done some amazing cards in the rare Pepe collection, including the first community card PEPENATION (S1C4) and as the 2nd artist to make a card.. if you got rarepepewallet.com you can check out his work, PEPENATION has music attached to it!

Do you know who Lord kek is anon? Do some research already and get to know the memetic history that we are living out daily.

Not a ton to report on traditional markets, starting the day a bit lower with .05% dip on the S&P. Interest rates selling off in preparation for tomorrows Data point. OSF imagines the risk is skewed towards the downside with the CPI number, no matter where it comes in at. Crypto has had some difficulty holding onto local levels. Some of the alts like $MATIC and $MAGIC are in a slump and being majorly outperformed by ETH itself which is up nearly 55% on the year.

The concept of digital gold is a strong narrative being bought into versus utility based tokens that offer something. Mando thought we might sustain this last bounce and seeing the major coins slip is quite concerning. IF BTC continues to lose, then the shitcoins will suffer as well.

The Bitcoin halving is approaching and stirring up many different perspectives and predictions around the future of BTC. People have speculated on major things like bitcoin forks and modifying the ultimate supply. No major change is set to happen but the speculation alone is enough to raise hairs about its future.

Binance put a tweet out that Ordinals are going coming to their NFT marketplace. The Bitcoin network was clogged yesterday due to the introduction and excessive exploration of BRC-20 tokens. IT has set the maxis into an uproar and caused both a wave of panic and wake of FUD in the BTC universe. Mando points out that this makes the future of Ethereum seem even clearer.

People who don't want the application layer do not have a clear solution for what's going on and seem to want to delay the big decisions being made until much further in the future.

NFTs

The main thing happening in NFTs is also surrounding the ordinals protocol on Bitcoin. The NFT community should start paying attention to the BRC-20 tech now. Go try it out and get to understand it while it’s new and relatively slow…. Clogged even.

Pudgy Penguins announce they did a raise for $9 mil, with an undisclosed valuation, the stage speculates that it could be around $30-50 mil.

Degods made an announcement that they will be available on the BLEND lending platform from BLUR. The news didn't seem to force the floor one way or another.

Snowfro and Gary V both purchased a rektguy! Unfortunately this is not 2021 and this floor also remained fairly unchanged. Remember when buying some land in sandbox was enough to set a project on a run? the good ol’ days..

RTFKT sneaker forging deadline is here, don't forget to forge or you are basically burning a physical.

The Broken Keys w/ ACK

@lphaCentauriKid joined us to go though his latest drop 'The Broken Keys'. The piano to ACK is a gateway to the muse. He really pushed himself to make as many different stories as possible using the piano. He had over 100 pieces and curated it down to 48. All 1/1s going live at the same time within an hour of writing this.

He saw a larger collection as a challenge. ACK is a self taught pianist and the instrument is a piece of art within itself. He wanted discovery to be a part of the work, so he tried different subjects and situations to tell unique stories with a piano theme. Check his official Twitter for links to the work.

Traditional markets are trading relatively firm; we had a decent close on Friday with things unchanged on today's open. Crypto closed well going into the weekend but has sold off since along with $hitcoins, and it seems like the season is reaching a lull, but we likely haven't seen the end just yet. One of the major talking points has been the amount of Ethereum burned during all of the trading; It has been deflationary for a while now with all of this activity, and there are now concerns and speculation around the long term effects.

We have the CPI number coming in this week. If the number misses then we could see a sell off, but if the number is lower than expectation it could be a less notable event.

We are still in a tepid state with NFTs; some major sales have still happened with things like Azuki, and Cryptopunks are hanging out around 50 eth with Apes in the 47-48 range. There was a major headline going around where 14 apes were sold and immediately swapped for $PEPE, which is not doing well currently.

@punk9059 talked about a difference from NFTs vs Stocks/bond trading, where the former plays into momentum and the trend of the moment. The strategy and practice may be similar but the foundation and influence are very different.

Something like 80% of the loans that have gone out through BLEND have been recalled back already, take that as you will.

If you are trading the $hitcoins, it's best to try and find something with a story at the very least. The action of these coins is rapid and unforgiving. Protect your funds and as always do not deploy capital that you cannot afford to lose.

We were joined by @dannygreene & @meebstew to talk about everything @MeebitsNFTs. Turnon.meebits.app is the new site and has been one of the latest initiatives since they were assimilated into the Yuga ecosystem. The living PFP is the result of adding different expressions and emotes by animating the 3d characters. Giving life to the Meebs and making the animation accessible to users who aren't Blender experts is the mission.

Today we announced our STUBS artist #7 @YAGAMIIIARTS to go over his singing in the rain piece that he is sharing with the GM Web3 listeners. He has done art for the past 10 years, and describes himself as "just an artist" and a late starter, although you might disagree looking at his beautiful work.

The Rug Radio Membership Pass was one of his first mints ever, and now he is minting a piece for the Rug Radio audience. That is what we love to see and the type of story we hope to replicate.

His style is NeoFauvism, which was also our code today for stubs and rewards. Fauvism was an early artistic movement that started in France and is attributed to the larger modern art category. Around the early 20th century people started experimenting by taking the realism out of the art and creating from their own views and perspectives with colors and livery. Fauvism sparked other movements like cubism and other really colorful styles; It broke the tendency of art to be naturalistic and represented in a true to life lens. Yagamii intends to combine modern contemporary art style with an appreciation for art history through his work.

Yagami is also putting together a team to promote and contribute to the NeoFauvism style. It is set to be a curation in collaboration with Foundation that will highlight the style and the group of the artists that are creating using it!

It's been a tough 48 hours for equities, we are down another percent on the S&P. The FOMC concluded yesterday and we did in fact get a hike of 25 bps as expected. The commentary from Powell didn't communicate that they will raise them further or that they will be cutting them lower. There is 0 way that the FED can raise rates further from OSF's perspective.

Mando points out that they danced between a dovish and hawkish narrative, and while this didn't initially move crypto prices, Crypto saw a small pump with futures opening and bank stocks slipping lower. Stocks themselves have gone lower with the banking crisis looming and potential recession on the horizon.

Tomorrow we have payrolls and the expectation is around 170k. If we hit that number it will communicate that the market is doing better than the FED narrative is saying.

The $hitcoinery continues! Beeple made a very explicit everyday yesterday pointing to the crazy environment we are in, view it at your own risk. $PEPE continues to rise at time of writing this, and the stage imagines that this coin could be around for a while and make it past the typical pump/dump lifecycle of these types of coins.

Volumes have massively decreased since the BLEND news lit the market up. Things are trending back towards low volume days, and it's just a slower period right now. Forgotten Runes made an announcement about some upcoming things in their ecosystem.

In other news, Nate Chastain, former manager at Opensea was convicted by a jury for NFT fraud and money laundering. The date for sentencing is set for August; our pros imagine a 10-18 month sentence, although it will likely be appealed; factors like using multiple wallets were connected to the laundering charge, yet we all know that multiple wallets is a standard practice for safety in the space. The headlines paint a certain picture but the appeal process means none of it is cemented.

Today, one of our top shows at Rug Radio @audiogalleries is on the front page of Opensea with an awesome generative collection aptly named Flowers Flowers Flowers! @TheNFT101 is hosting @lobsteropolis and his first exploration with this type of digital art.

Sorare

We were joined by @ni2las co-founder and CEO of @Sorare! He explained that the partners of Sorare have equity in the brand and are here for the long run. The fantasy leagues have been catching like wildfire and have amassed over 300 partners since we had him on the show last Summer!

Nicolas has bet his career on crypto and has been on the scene for many years now. Late 2017 is when he found NFTs and felt the potential for massive change using the technology; People have been collecting things in the physical world for centuries and NFTs open this up to the masses to collect things in a new, secure way.

It started with a vision to unite sports fans across the world and is now selling globally, succeeding in these efforts. @sobylife is an active player in Sorare fantasy leagues and points to the fact that it is a fun fantasy game but is also very collectible. You get to play but just holding the cards themselves is a valuable experience.

https://linktr.ee/rugradio

Not much to write home regarding traditional markets, equities are basically unchanged. Interest rates are rallying with the news of the bank fiasco. Today the FOMC will conclude with the expectation of a 25 bps hike and the press meeting set to happen at 1:30pm EST. We will see if there is commentary around the banking situation, but things are still wobbly.

Crypto is still doing ok, with BTC and ETH staying in the same range it has been for a while. The alts aren't doing well with $APE down in the $3 price range. BTC dominance is up with all of the banking headlines; Mando imagines some volatility on the back of the FOMC commentary.

NFTs & Crypto

It feels like a reverse of the BLUR impact, Azuki is number 1. The floor is around 16-17 ETH but both Miladys and Cryptopunk’s floor has dropped off a bit. BLUR volume has dominated the markets with the new loan dynamic offered by BLEND. Stories are all over the timeline of people taking loans on assets for "deals" and betting long using BLEND for wins.

Lebron James wore some @RTFKT sneakers on his way to the stadium yesterday during the NBA playoffs for game 1 of the Lakers vs Warriors series, and they took the win in Golden State's house. LFG!

The NFT landscape is rough for people looking to buy into some of their favorite projects; floors are low for many of what has been considered the top projects, but the market manipulation is still very present and the risk to entry is very high from an investment standpoint. It is tough to be a small-time or even average participant in this environment.

Since the Ethereum merge event we have burned over 142k ETH, maintaining a deflationary status. Thinking about ETH over the long term, it is a really aggressive metric. Mando spoke about the potential of having to change the dynamic of the burn if the bull returns, this type of action could make our favorite chain too expensive to use and drive everyone to L2s.

Ordinals have been making waves and BRC-20 is in the headlines. Bitcoiners have basically built the infrastructure to have $hitcoins on Bitcoin! The maxi narrative is there is no longer any need for any chain other than Bitcoin. gg

H3NSY

We were joined by @boillotlaurent the CEO of @Hennessy to talk about everything @H3nsy. He has been with LVMH for 22 years! Joined Hennessy and has been immersed in the cognac brand and the community around it before embarking on this web3 journey along with @BarichDanielle.

Hennessy came into web3 via intuition and genuine curiosity; it started as an experiment, making connections in the space and even a DAO experience. Laurent found that there is culture present in web3 and understood the massive value of getting involved in this culture and building a community as early as possible.

When was the last time you did something for the first time? @BoillotLaurent urges you to answer this question via action and pursue innovation!

GM Web3 ☀️ Recap -May 2, 2023

Degenz Market Report by @osf_rekt and @rektmando

Tough day in equities the S&P moved down slightly more than the Nasdaq, which is uncommon. Yesterday, First Republic bank was bought by JP Morgan; It looks like banking is still under massive stress, and any sustained rate hike from the FED will have a huge impact on regional banking. The FOMC is currently going on and set to conclude tomorrow with expectation for a 25 bps hike. At the last FOMC, they didn't say anything about banking but it is still unclear if the commentary will mention it this time around.

Crypto is rallying in line with the chaos of the banking sector. First Republic and Silicon Valley were both large enough for the FED to do something about and intervene. A smaller regional bank that doesn't get the favor of the FED like PacWest, could end up not getting the assistance needed and causing a huge ripple in the system. JP Morgan is not going to bail out all of the regional banks, it just isn't possible. OSF points out that $PEPE has a larger market cap than some of the banks in question!

"There is no way in Hell that the FED has this under control" - Mando

The narrative that things are under control is just plain false. Commercial real estate is a very problematic sector that has yet to be realized. Massive devaluation is expected across the board with properties being devalued that were initially financed through banking loans, and the contagion of this potential banking crisis could be devastating. High yield debt and illiquid private credit will follow commercial real estate and giant holes in the balance sheets are bound to show up.

NFTs

It's been a strong day over the past 24hrs in NFTs. It seems to have been initially led by the news of the BLEND loan platform from @blur_io. Cryptopunks, Azuki and Milady are the 3 collections launching through the platform, and the action through these collections has lent to some green across the board in other collections. This initial pump may seem good, but Mando is certain this will lead to higher volatility in floor prices. In a market where things are already pretty unstable, this could be a fan to the flame as things play out.

BLUR, BLEND & News

We had @gmoneyNFT on stage and he imagines Blur taking NFT projects as proof of concept examples in order to eventually incorporate real world assets to their platform and tech giving potential investors more than ideas to work with.

Overall blur has increased volatility and incentivized degeneracy, which is not great for the space as a whole. The loan-to-value is incredibly high on the BLEND platform, although there is some sort of protection on the lending side as lenders basically have a call option on their NFT. If floors go up, they benefit and if the floors go down they have up to 95% of the assets value to lose before going belly up.

Sotheby's announces their metaverse marketplace, a royalty enforced platform that claims to be “Art 1st” with a 2.5% platform fee. @Sothebysverse

Are you aware of the initiatives by Coinbase and Brian Armstrong in the fight for crypto? Shields up! A free mint is available for all to stand up for the cause! look into what is being discussed and hold up your shields for the benefit and longevity of the space!

Big congrats to @DeeZe who joined the Sam Spratt Skulls council last night. 💀

We are SO BACK!

On Friday, the market closed strong; today, however, equities have remained mostly unchanged. Looking ahead, the FOMC begins tomorrow and will conclude on Wednesday with the announcement of the interest rate hike decision and their plans in light of recent data. Given the Fed's priority of maintaining stability, it's unlikely that any major drama will unfold.

Crypto is heavy with BTC down to $28k and ETH down in the $1800's. The $hitcoin market is booming, $PEPE has been on absolute tear over the weekend without any Monday sell-off. Stay cautious as always and don't spend anything you cannot lose. (Monday dump has ensued since writing this, I love crypto)

To those with a bag, don’t be afraid to realize profits and take some off the table. It always feels good to profit.

The number of holders is up big and the data points to a lot of holders that are holding a profitable bag. This usually means that there is a consolidation period set to happen, but..... this is Pepe! The strongest meme in the world, and the strength could push the market cap to unheard of highs. If this was a different coin it would likely be dumping by now. The longer it is sustained, the less you can fade it but you still need to time your entries. Huge swings can and will happen, brace yourselves!

Blur & Venmo Announcement

Blur announces Blend, a peer-to-peer perpetual lending protocol for NFTs. The platform will allow levered long positions while still earning yield? The perpetual factor means there is no expiry to the loans which is definitely a new approach to lending in NFTs.

Venmo announces they will support crypto transfers within the app which is a progressive move in the right direction. You could previously purchase crypto on the platform but not move it in or out, a much needed upgrade to the platform.

Consensus in Austin

Last week was Consensus 2023 in Austin, Texas! Rug Radio held an event that was a huge success. GM Web3 went live on the Consensus stage on Friday, check the replay to get the IRL show vibe. @SamEwen, Head of Coindesk joined the stage today and threw some flowers back at Farokh and the crew.

Stubs Artist #6, Victoria West

Today we announced the 6th STUBS artist, @vwestphoto_nb! Victoria shared her story of trying to get on Foundation with early struggles of having two early pieces banned on the platform. She is a photographer but also a digital artist! She describes her art as her diary, and a personal form of expression. She combines photos she takes and modifies them to create beautiful works of art that tend to have a statement reinforcing them.

The Pepe and the Princess is the piece she chose for the STUBS mint which just happens to be totally in the META given the crazy $PEPE pump. The piece was set to be a STUBS mint weeks ago, it just happens to be that a frog coin has taken over the timeline, LFG!

Things are not looking too rosy, equities are down across both Nasdaq and the S&P with 10yr and 2yr treasuries seeing a decent rally in interest rates. Crypto is also not doing well, ETH has moved roughly 15% lower over the course of a week which is not great. $ARB is back to $1.30 and most other coins are not doing well.

OSF has a hunch that the FOMC next week could be a constructive event. The banking crisis wasn't quite as bad people feared and has moved out of the headlines. With data points like payrolls coming in positive, we could see some good rhetoric come from Powell at the FOMC meeting.

Mando imagines the banking crisis is still looming and things like commercial real estate will still reveal that they are a part of the banking contagion. The raise in rates is not ideal and it isn't clear as to what the Feds master plan is given this start to the year.

Most traditional assets had a decent entry into 2023, including crypto. @punk9059points out how loose the Fed kept things during COVID and now we are possibly seeing a reverse strategy with things constricting.

This was the lowest day of the year in terms of NFT volumes. Blur incentives have decreased and things are falling very flat. Realized daily losses are up above 1k ETH in the NFT space which is not great by any means. The end of the double $BLUR rewards is approaching which will certainly shift the landscape in some way or another.

Peak Bull the space was profiting something like 30k ETH daily, a hand over fist scenario. It hasn't been down only for floor prices but the big sales lately have been for a loss which we hate to see. After BLUR started in Q4 we actually saw a rally upwards, a lot of liquidity entered the market. We are at a place now where things are just unwinding from some of the hype and farm chasing.

@indigo_herz joined us to talk about their initiatives and ALTS by Adidas. There are ALT[er] Ego traits that are linked to different genres. Adidas as a brand has made waves and respects the culture of the space and sees it as more than just a technology.@heyerikaws spoke on how important it is to build and nurture a proper community in web3 and not just exploit like many of the large brands have done. They have an ‘into the metaverse’ taskforce that created a strategy to integrate the stripes into the blockchain and culture. Erika shared the story of not knowing who Gordon and Garga were from the Bored Apes as they weren't doxxed, but due to some key allies and advice, Adidas still did business with the Apes. Shoutout to the open-minded lawyers who enabled all of this to happen.

They have integrated @tokenproof with their ALTS initiative to allow users to access exclusive products that are only available to the web3 community.

Web2 was all about leveraging social media and other peoples platforms to get to the top, but in web3 Culture credibility, Community & Collaboration are the 3 C's that Erika believes are key to success in. ///

Not a ton to report on traditional markets, we closed unchanged and are opening basically the same. Last week was a boring macro week, but this week brings corporate earnings with META and a couple other big tech companies reporting, which should stir things up leading into the monthly macro events. Next week we have the highly anticipated payrolls report followed by the FOMC.

Crypto has seen a dip with BTC diving to $27k and ETH dropping to the $1800 range. A lot of the alt coins have been crushed over the weekend. The $hitcoins are holding but still undergoing losses. We definitely had some heightened euphoria this past month, so use this time to reassess and make a proper plan for your next trades.

Apes and Punks as they both dipped below 50 ETH going into the weekend, but have seemed to rebound, likely due to thin floors. Looks like we get to stay away from 0 for a bit longer.

Degods got a lot of focus over the weekend with some FUD and a slight dip in the FP, due to the typical growing pains in the space.

Guttercats is set to finally announce a community token and Killacubz mint is upcoming with 8 phases of incubation!

YugaLabs vs Ryder Ripps

The Yugalabs vs Ryder Ripps case seems to have gone in favor of the Bored Apes, much to the rejoice of those who care for the space. There was a 22 page summary on the case and @GencoLaw came on stage to share some of his findings.

NFTs apparently get the statute of copyright laws which is a net positive for projects. In regards to a ‘right-click save’ the Judge did not see enough artistic expression to grant those rights to Ryder. Yuga got many things granted in their favor but they did not get everything. It does not mean that NFTs are not securities, although this case was actually silent to this issue according to our on stage counsel.

Provenance and IP matter, and this is the direction that artists and founders wanted this to go. This isn't a cemented judgment as there could be an appeal, and a trial is still pending.

New Stubs Artist - AD_AD

We had our new STUBS artist this week, @adam_disbrow! He is a traditional artist coming from contemporary fine art who got into NFTs in 2021 by overhearing FUD from a traditional art gatekeeper, signaling he should look into it. Expressionist painter by trade, he paints pieces that are then professionally photographed and then brought into procreate/photoshop to create the amazing works he is known for.

"Crypto art as a whole and a culture is stronger than ever, and I'm all in" - AD_AD

Metaversal & Rug Radio Event in Austin, TX

We also had @balon_art and @yossihasson on to talk about @HelloMetaversal, their badges, and the upcoming event in Austin, TX during Consensus in collaboration with Rug Radio.Metaversal looks at different projects and founders that are disrupting their respective space by using the Blockchain and NFTs. They also have their own production studio responsible for creating things like their latest @omegaxrunner

Traditional markets don't have a lot to write home about, most things are basically unchanged. Interest rates are hovering in the same range they have been for the past few days. Tech earnings will be coming out next week, which could have an effect on the macro.Crypto is slipping, ETH is down to the low 1900's and the meme coin rallies have seemed to slow down with most falling into the red after the past few days of hype.

It seems that the market may have expected more of a sell off with the banking crisis, and since they didn't see a massive dip, the markets are slowly working upwards.

Separately, a thread went out talking about the security of the Bitcoin network becoming more vulnerable as time goes on, and the number of coins being reduced through the token mechanics. This could be one of the reasons it has been underperforming lately, but who is to say?

Not pretty out there in the world of NFTs, if anything there has been a bit of accelerated bleeding going on. A bloodbath across the board with collections like Doodles approaching the single ETH range.

The number of active wallets as well as floor prices have been declining, which is a terrible correlation to see. This all still feels like it will continue with the BLUR farming going on. @rektmando speculates that things could get even worse and to be prepared to see more blood. However, this is nothing new for the crypto and NFT world, we have lived through a thousand bull/bear cycles with major pullbacks. This one does have a different feel because of the major collections diving along with the overall sentiment.

Last week there was euphoria everywhere and this week the vibes have shifted significantly. The IRL meetups always help to reaffirm the path and give confidence in everything that people are building. If you are feeling rekt, try to go to an irl event. It will help 1000%!

This period of time will likely shape and shift the landscape of NFTs. The magic that exists in these different communities is not going anywhere, and the people showing up everyday are not chasing .001 eth flips, but rather building long lasting relationships and helping to advance the tech.

@DegenzNFT announced Degenz Code! It requires burning either the Degenz gold pass or the Degenz access pass to redeem the new Degenz Code asset with pixelated art that was created by @TimpersHD! There will be codes hidden throughout the Degenz universe, and holders will be able to use these codes to redeem art.

We had @cemhah on to talk about the STUBS burn today featuring his work. There are two amazing pieces available. This week's mint is available for 2 days with an open amount of supply. If you have a STUBS mint pass you will be able to burn without any FOMO

The RugDAO has 4 proposals open for voting right now, and voting is live for 3 more days!. The DAO is essential to advancing our decentralized efforts so please take part, go look at the proposals, vote, and maybe even think about submitting your own proposal

Its been a soft start in traditional markets with Nasdaq and S&P both down around 0.2%. Earnings report came in yesterday with headlines focused on Tesla reporting a 20% drop in net income and earnings from last year.

Leveraged positions in crypto are getting liquidated, BTC down to $28k and ETH is hanging out around mid $1900's. It seems like the greed and euphoria was a bit high these past few days and this should be a good reminder that things are never up only.@rektmando sees this as a period of consolidation and speculates that we will be bouncing around the $30k & $2k range for both of the respective coins.

Both the punks and apes are below 50 eth without any signs of recovery until the BLUR rewards farming ceases. Miladys up to around 2.5 eth floor but overall collections are bleeding out.

The timeline is full of the $hitcoins and all of their splendor. $PEPE continues to be the talk with a slew of others joining in the whirlwind

Cryptopunks floor did not move during all of the crypto crisis, the black swan events AND, ETH moving violently across a tall range. Now we are seeing it slip and it all seems due to the effects of the BLUR rewards farming. The reward system creates a constant downtrend pressure by offering incentives for less than desirable trading behaviors.

@punk9059 discussed the ratio of new participants vs the farmers in the Vortex of BLUR rewards not being healthy. The incentives are going to stay and people will keep playing the game. It is hard to see where this ends.

We are currently at 8k active traders!? This is a tough stat, down from somewhere around 70k traders at the peak. However, the onboarding continues with things like Starbucks odyssey and @Sorare using blockchain to reach masses with no market trading involved.

The stage imagines that the BLUR marketplace has a tough road ahead of it. The overall sentiment towards it has shifted on the timeline. There are still BLUR maxi's but the TL is negative and not supportive.

Today Sothebys is opening up auctions to the "grail" collection from 3ac (RIP). Punks, Fidenza's and a ton of different desirable collectibles.

@punk9059 points out that Sothebys is approaching this massive sell in a slow calculated way that will protect floor prices, the exact opposite of a clump sale scenario like we see on BLUR. They aren't dumping the 30 Fidenzas all at once because they understand collectibles and know that this would destroy the market value. They will sell things bit by bit over a longer period of time.

Nakamigos announce an announcement that something is coming which led to a decent run in their floor.

@johnkarp, who was made honorary Rug Radio Intern during the show, came on to talk about @The_Lost_Wallet. They are a quest based, story game project that has a Cryptopunk up for grabs out there somewhere in the lost wallet! They are also giving away a Nakamigo! Travel through different metaverses carrying out quests to get a chance at the Punk.

We started off weaker in traditional markets today, Interest rates are up on 10yr and 2yr. OSF speculates that we 'over rallied' and are just readjusting. The UK is still hovering around in double digit inflation numbers which is concerning from a macro view.

Crypto saw a dip, ETH dropped back below $1900 but is above 2k at time of writing.The meme coins are the talk of the timeline. $PEPE is still all the rage and seem the doom dip just yet.

Many degens made a quick bag on the back of the meme coins, but this is a reminder to degen responsibly. NEVER trade using funds you cannot afford to LOOSE!

Yesterday we saw @franklinisbored close his account, essentially leaving the space and everyone hates to see it. The story seems to be around gambling and chasing that next shiny win. Protect yourself and your bags friends. Be careful, educate yourself and do more research than you think you should.

The majority of banks in the US offer about .3% yield on savings. Apple just launched a new savings account that offers 4.15% ranking among the best offered in the market. They want to be the "top of wallets".

You would think with crypto moving we would see a positive correlation with NFTs but it just hasn't happened. Apes and Punks are trading in the mid 50 ETH range. Most collections are down and the focus has been on coins vs. jpegs.

We need more wallets to get involved and we need NFTs to be marketed the way that 💩 coins are to breathe some green back into the charts.Blur liquidity has made the NFT trading environment much different, and more like trading an alt coin... with pictures of course.We have seen CryptoPunks destabilize in a sense after having a solid floor price for around 8 months straight.

@jackbutcher Opepen evolution was announced. It will be a free mint that uses AI for the art, sure to make use of Jacks unique perspective on pfps, value and community.

Donald Trump dropped a new series to his collectible trading cards at $99 again, boasting about the sell out and and how huge of a success he sees it as already. The streets are saying that he will be on GM Web3 soon!?! wen?

The space has rejoiced in watching highlights from Gary Gensler's visit to congress. He endured 5 hours of questions from the board and we were blessed with a ton of pro-crypto media to watch and rejoice on. If you haven't seen any yet, do yourself a favor and watch some. Do not forget to RECLAIM YOUR TIME!

There is a clear agenda against crypto and ETH specifically with questions as to whether or not it is a security. The current state of regulation is forcing blockchain based businesses out of the U.S. which is bad news for the future of the tech within the states and the retail investors that want to participate.

We were joined by @Pacemaker_NFT to discuss their digital art & culture brand's upcoming drop. They have some serious names involved like @fvckrender and @tilljagla! They already have manufacturing/shipping infrastructure in place for irl products along with a proven track record.

If you're keeping a close eye on the cryptocurrency market, you might have noticed that there isn't really a ton to report on the traditional market. However, it is earning season, so keep an eye out for the big companies' reports. Meanwhile, alt coins are rallying, so that's something to keep an eye on.

But, for once, there is actually a lot going on in NFTs. Azuki has been in the limelight, and its FP got up to 14. The company has also announced an event in Las Vegas at Hakkasan. A blur airdrop farmer hit a bunch of bids on adukis and beans, which could affect things very soon. Additionally, Moonbirds announced they are releasing a $TALON token via nesting.

In the world of NFTs, a Big Killabears mint is upcoming, and Memeland is releasing a new GM show. Sorare had some big rare card sells around 100k.However, amidst all this exciting news, there's also a lot of hypocrisy on the timeline. People are rallying behind these meme coins without any expectations, yet will FUD a project into oblivion if there isn't a roadmap, a promise, or some type of expectation isn't met.

In other news, the stage set their Sorare lineups live on stage today. Tune into the stream to see who they chose and the laughs they had while doing it. We were also joined by the Smurf Society to go over their upcoming drop. They somehow secured a collar with the Daft Punk team! Plus, they just signed with Sorare to collaborate on the Smurf project. This is no small matter.

All in all, it's been an eventful week in the cryptocurrency market. While there may not be much to report on in the traditional market, the NFT and alt coin space are certainly heating up.

In the world of cryptocurrency, there are moments in between major macro events where the market tends to grind. Currently, we are experiencing one of those moments, and it's affecting different currencies in different ways. Bitcoin, for example, has dropped off a bit, with dominance dropping to 46.8 and dollar value under 30k. On the other hand, ETH is leading the charge, which could be in part due to the Shanghai upgrade going successfully and there not being any major sell-off after the event.

The outlook for the market seems optimistic, with OSF predicting that things will continue to go higher through the summer without any clear path to falling lower. Even if the Fed raises next month, we are near the end of their hike cycle, according to most views.

NFTs, on the other hand, have had a pretty ugly time since Friday. By Sunday morning, things felt like full capitulation, with the timeline full of doom posting. However, NFT NYC still had a heavy bullish sentiment, and there was a nice bounce into Sunday. Mando speculates that this could have been the peak capitulation for the times.

Contrary to what most people believe, NFTs are not a levered bet on ETH, nor are they correlated to the price of ETH. Instead, they are attached to the volatility of ETH, with the layer of stability being the clear current correlation. NFT worlds are up over 2 ETH, with Pixelmon still outperforming and doing better than your favorite NFT project somehow.It's important to note that we are still in a bear market, despite seeing some recovery in the prices of the top crypto assets.

In recent news, the latest STUBS artist on the show was none other than Cemhah, who lives in London and felt the magic of NFT NYC last week. He started as an art director, and 2-3 years ago, his friend told him about NFTs, which led him back into creating art of his own. He started on Tezos, then Solana with editions and such, getting on to SuperRare and all the major platforms.His current work has an ongoing story about the scammer. It isn't always easy to tell who is a scammer and who is not. Could you imagine taking a selfie with someone who scammed you and not knowing it? How different is it if you know they were the scammer?

The Omega Runner team was on the show with Metaversal. Their team has specialized experience in creating actual movies from IP, whether it's from a book, a comic, or established art. This project isn't meant to fund production, and IP rights are actually offered to holders.

This week's economic data has been closely watched, with both CPI and PPI indicating that inflation is coming down. The result has been a surge in the crypto markets, with Ethereum breaking into 2k and Bitcoin holding above 30k. These price movements suggest that investors are looking for alternative assets as they seek to protect their portfolios from inflation.

While crypto is thriving, NFTs are struggling. Things are looking ugly, with red everywhere. Many NFT projects have seen their values plummet in recent weeks, and the outlook is not optimistic. However, there is one exception: a new PFP from 10ktf is coming out soon, which is a continuation of their collaboration with Gucci.

ETH is currently experiencing a surge in value, which usually leads to a dump in floor prices. However, this time it's different. The rise in ETH's value is due to the $BLUR airdrop forming, which is driving up demand for the token.

Unfortunately, not everyone in the crypto world is having a good time. Franklinisbored lost 2k ETH, and as a result, a bunch of apes that were leveraged to acquire this amount of ETH are also suffering. This is a reminder that the crypto world can be volatile and risky, and investors need to be cautious.

On a more positive note, Fewocious was recently interviewed on a podcast, and the show was hosted from his studio in New York. Fewocious discussed the complexities of creating a generative art project using his extremely abstract art. This highlights the growing interest in the intersection between technology and art, and how blockchain is enabling new forms of creative expression.

The past week has been eventful in the world of crypto and NFTs. While NFTs are struggling, crypto is thriving, with Ethereum breaking into 2k and Bitcoin holding above 30k. The $BLUR airdrop is driving up demand for ETH, and there is excitement about the upcoming PFP from 10ktf. However, Franklinisbored's loss serves as a reminder that the crypto world can be volatile and risky. On the positive side, Fewocious's discussion of generative art highlights the exciting possibilities that blockchain technology offers for artists and creatives. As always, investors should proceed with caution and do their research before making any investment decisions.

It's NFT NYC week, and the excitement is palpable in the crypto world. This week, there will be new artists and creators showcasing their unique and innovative works. Among these new artists is the Stubs artist, whose creations are expected to be a highlight of the event.

Last Friday, the markets closed on a quiet note, and today, Apple is in the headlines. The weak open to the markets today can be attributed to the bond yields going higher on the recent jobs numbers that came in line with expectations. Despite this, the markets have been relatively stable, and there hasn't been much volatility leading into the Shanghai upgrade, which is set to take place in two days.

Staked ETH will now be able to trade, and roughly about 20% of the supply will become available. According to Mando, this will likely be priced in, and there hasn't been much movement in the markets leading up to it. However, the upgrade is expected to be the spotlight for crypto this week, and many are looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.Bitcoin continues to outperform ETH through the year, sitting about 15% better from the beginning of the year. This seems to reinforce the priced-in narrative, as many investors are bullish on Bitcoin's future.

Meanwhile, the Nakamigos have risen back up to .7 eth, and there have been some interesting developments in the NFT world. The Blur farming continues with a brutal 30 punk dump, and 100 rektguys were purchased and dumped. On the other hand, Azuki is up, and spirits, golden skateboards, and more are selling for massive amounts of eth. Milady's is also seeing a proper pump, which is a positive sign for the NFT market.

Overall, the crypto world is buzzing with excitement, and all eyes are on NFT NYC this week. With new artists and creators showcasing their works, and the Shanghai upgrade set to take place, this week promises to be a memorable one for crypto enthusiasts.

Yesterday's US jobs figure came in just about as expected, with a slight miss of about 2,000 jobs. Despite this, there was little market reaction, and BTC is currently trading just shy of $28,000, while ETH hovers around $1,860. With both the US and Europe on a long weekend, there is an expected quiet time in the markets.

Meanwhile, in the world of NFTs, there is some speculation that someone traced an IP to Montreal in regards to Nakamigos causing a pump. The identity of the person is still unknown, but it is interesting to see how community speculation can shape market trends.

On a more positive note, we were joined by Trevor Jones and the Makers Place team to talk about the Castle party, which is being held in memory of the late Alotta Money. This event is not only an exhibition, but also a charity event to raise awareness for new artists and the legacy of the legendary crypto artist, Alotta Money.

During the discussion, Basileus talked about the base layer of fun behind Alotta Money's art and life in general. They even touched upon his final days, emphasizing the importance of living life to the fullest and leaving a positive impact on the world.

As for the traditional markets, there was a weaker tone today, with gold dipping off from highs. Oilil is currently above $80 per barrel, which is notable. The banking system is still in hot water, and bank stocks have continued to suffer as a result.

The cryptocurrency market saw a slight retracement today, likely due to the looming news of the Shanghai upgrade that is incoming. However, traditional markets seem to be having a weaker tone today as well. On the other hand, gold dipped off from yesterday's highs, and oil is currently above $80 dollars, which is notable.

The job market has been under scrutiny as the market expects Powell to pivot in case there is any sign of weakness. Bank stocks have continued to get hammered, and the banking system is still in hot water.

In other news, other deeds have dipped since the decoupling, which essentially refers to another 100k NFTs from Yuga. One set has decoupled assets, another has artifacts, and one has a set of 10k Kodas. This increase in supply does increase the market's supply, but there is also a splitting effect.

The job market has been under close watch as the Fed considers raising interest rates. The lowest labor market number since 2021 was reported recently, indicating that things may be slowing down. This gives more power to the Fed to raise rates, which is a factor that could affect the crypto market as well.

Interestingly, crypto feels like it is more correlated to gold and interest rates as opposed to the actual stock market. The correlation is even stronger considering the recent retracement in the crypto market due to the looming news of the Shanghai upgrade.

Bank stocks have been hit hard in the market, with the banking system still in hot water. If there is any indication of the job market showing weakness, the market expects Powell to pivot. The scrutiny is evident in the ongoing monitoring of bank stocks.

The decoupling of other deeds has led to a dip in the NFT market, but it has also led to an increase in supply. Yuga has released another 100k NFTs, one set of which has decoupled assets, another has artifacts, and one has a set of 10k Kodas. While this does increase the supply, it also splits the market and causes a dip in the NFT market.

Gold dipped off from yesterday's highs, while oil is currently above $80 dollars, which is notable. Traditional markets seem to be having a weaker tone today, while the crypto market saw a slight retracement. The looming news of the Shanghai upgrade is likely the cause of the retracement in the crypto market.

We also had Gmoney pop up and grace us with some input and info on his recent merch drop with Admit one.

The financial world is constantly in flux, with news and events causing shifts in the market but GM Web3 is here for you!

Yesterday, traditional stocks saw no change in price action, but interest rates saw a massive rally following some concerning labor data from the previous day. The labor market numbers were the lowest they have been since 2021, indicating that things may be slowing down. This gives more power to the Federal Reserve to raise rates.

This recent development may be one of the reasons why crypto is rallying, with ETH finally hitting over $1900. It will be interesting to see what the Payrolls number is when it comes out in combination with this recent labor data. Interestingly, crypto seems to be more correlated to gold and interest rates rather than the stock market.

Meanwhile, the Shanghai ETH upgrade is incoming, but it received some FUD from the timeline. People pointed to the amount of ETH set to be unlocked along with the upgrade, and it seems that there was a "buy the rumor, sell the news" type of situation. The upgrade is set to go live on the 12th, and staked ETH will be unlocked, which is a highly anticipated event.The amount set on the unlock is 16 million ETH, which equates to around $30 billion. This is no small number, and will be a significant development in the crypto world.

In terms of NFTs, not too many major movers have been seen. Nakamigos have been holding the headlines, topping out around 0.9 but now sitting in the 0.4 range, settling at a 40% fall. Opensea Pro was launched, and a gemesis NFT was offered to people who used GEM before a certain date on a one-per-wallet basis. Milady has also seen a fair amount of traction after Cobie changed his PFP to one of the misunderstood beings. Prior allegations seemed to have been cleared.

The interface for Opensea Pro seems to be better in most every way. There is a "pro" and "collector" mode, offering different interfaces and information presented in different ways. The question remains, will they bring out a coin? They seem similar to Coinbase in that they are the only ones doing what they are doing without any token to go along with the platform.

In a surprising move, Bugatti, yes, the luxury carmaker, is getting involved in NFTs and collaborating with Asprey Studio. There will be a physical item attached to the digital collectible, some sort of carbon fiber egg, and it will be available on the Bitcoin blockchain as an ordinal. OnChainMonkey is also involved in the launch, so they are web3 official!

Finally, we were joined by FILT3R Studio, who shared their BAYC AR filters that look absolutely amazing! Watching the YouTube stream for the full experience is guaranteed to be a treat, as these filters are on a level that hasn't been seen before. Live listeners even had a chance to win a wearable. Their OG Allowlist is currently open for a chance to get in, exclusive for BAYC holders for the time being.

The financial world is always changing, and staying on top of these developments is crucial for those invested in the market. From interest rates to NFTs, it's always a rollercoaster ride. Tune in to more GM Web3 to stay up to date!

The world of macro seems to be relatively quiet these days, but there are still some notable events happening in the cryptocurrency and geopolitical spaces. ETH is making gains this morning, while there was some fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) yesterday regarding CZ possibly being arrested due to rumors surrounding a Cobie encrypted message.Meanwhile, Elon managed to push DOGE up to around $0.10 simply by changing the Twitter logo to the Doge sign!

On the geopolitical front, there are moves against the US from Saudi Arabia, which has teamed up with China to cut supply for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The dollar has weakened in comparison to global currencies, and it seems like there could be a coordinated attack on the US. In addition, Finland has joined NATO, and with a massive border share with Russia, this spells trouble for Russia as its major regions are in the north, and Finland's alliance will hinder any movements there.

As for the financial markets, gold is moving in conjunction with BTC/ETH, and the recent moves are not necessarily a result of stock market activity. Rather, they seem to be due to the degradation of the US dollar. The G7 is also being flipped by the five BRICS countries, led by China, in terms of world contribution as measured by GDP. The population in BRICS is massive and accounts for 30-40% of the total world population.

In the world of NFTs, Nakamigos are experiencing a pullback, while Gucci has teamed up with Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) to create a limited edition digital and physical necklace. The collaboration was announced on the official Gucci Twitter account and covered by Vogue, making it a notable event. Interestingly, Gucci is accepting $APE as currency for the necklace.

BusterScher shared some of his unique collectibles, including a request to be a brigadier general signed/accepted by Abraham Lincoln, a bond receipt from George Washington, and a Warren Buffet-signed letter to a pastor, which is a rare specimen. He also shared an original Titanic photo, which is possibly the earliest known photo of the sunken unsinkable ship. Additionally, he showcased his original artworks and backgrounds from season 1 of SpongeBob, which were all hand-painted.

Finally, the team will be attending the Proof of People event in New York on the 12th and 13th of April. The first PoP happened last year and celebrated art, life, and culture in the web3 world. Refraction DAO was on stage to share about the performances and the venue at Zero space.

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the recent market performances and news in the crypto world. Equities ended the week strong, with YTD performances showing Nasdaq up 17%, which is one of the best performing quarters in the last 2-3 years. However, crypto remained mostly unchanged, with BTC dominance at 48%.

The hosts also talked about the recent controversy surrounding Arbitrum token. There was a vote to move around 750 million $ARb tokens to the foundation, which was rejected due to accusations of it being a "slosh fund." The Arbitrum team defended the vote, stating that it was to ratify what was already happening, but the timeline was upset, causing a slight dip in the token's value.

The podcast also discussed some interesting developments in the world of NFTs, including the Nakamigos and the Captainz from 9GAG. Additionally, vhils joined the show to talk about his new drop coming up Ephemeral Ether. Finally, With hearts was announced as the second artist for the STUBS burn/mint experience, with his piece "Rektburger". The piece was created from a photo taken in Seattle at an actual burger spot named Dicks.

GM Web3 had an eventful show today, and here is the recap. Firstly, another measure of inflation came in below expectations PCE, which is good news for the inflation narrative. BTC and ETH are experiencing a pump, and OSF is passing the brew and the Hopium around. Interestingly, BTC dominance has dropped today without an apparent reason.

The hosts predict a god candle weekend, but they advise to DYOR. Ian C Rogers came on to talk about the recent raise that happened with Ledger. He shared that during the SVB breakdown, he learned the best lessons in bitcoin available. He believes that digital value needs to be workable and integrated into our everyday lives. Ledger will now have a fee-free trading day once a month on the Ledger live network. Most people are not aware that they can trade crypto on ledger live. However, the advantage of using ledger live is that your trade is on-chain, which means you sell your assets and become an owner, not just a number on a CEX spreadsheet. Ledger also plans to support different connect kits for various wallets across the network. They encourage favorite Dapps to sign up and integrate Ledger Extension. They stress that security should be taken seriously and that nobody should be requiring a blind signature to use their products collectively.

The taproot wizards have over 4k videos submitted for the wizard shower videos creating a viral trend in the bitcoin ordinal and web3 timeline. Big ups to Udi Wertheimer for making magic. 🪄

Degods migration to ETH is the headline of the day, and their floor is up to 9 ETH! They also announced that @blur_io is their partner in migration. Y00ts are up to 2 ETH, with most of the volume still happening on Magic Eden. Rekt mando points out the mastery of Frank degods marketing tactics. People are going absolutely nuts on the news of a contract migration, which is usually a non-event for any other project regarding price action.

Interestingly, Trump was indicted, and his NFTs rallied on the back of that.

As a founder, one is usually chasing the hype, but once they get it, they better watch out. There is usually a painful sharp drop off afterwards.

Lastly, today is the first BURN for STUBS! GDR is our first featured artist, and there are two different editions, one that requires a burn of 3 STUBS and the other for 1 STUBS. Four people who burn for the GDR piece will win tickets to Consensus in Austin, TX! to be selected.

In this episode, we discuss the current state of traditional markets, which are strong and expected to close well. Interest rates are selling off, with 2yr treasuries seeing a slight increase. Crypto saw a dip in gains from yesterday, and altcoins are selling off, with $ARB outperforming most of crypto. BTC dominance continues to hold strong.

We also cover the latest news in NFTs, including Yugalabs' reveal for the Meta Apes, which was a big hit. Volumes across collections have slowed down, and Doodles 2 genesis boxes are set to open on the 31st. ArtBlocks.io opened a marketplace and is enforcing royalties, and Nakamigos are off their highs.

Coolcats had a town hall meeting where they discussed their struggles, their deal with Macy's, and future plans, but sell pressure continues.

Ledger is close to completing a 108 million euro raise, following a 300 million dollar raise last year, indicating that they have kept their market valuation throughout the market fallout.We also discuss Frank degods' recent buying spree, where he tapped into his favorite ETH communities to celebrate the migration. He bought a Bored Ape over CryptoPunks, citing the airdrops and claims associated with the apes.

Lastly, we were joined by PIXELYNX, who has worked with major brands in the past and has a passion for music before getting into blockchain technology. Their aim is to join music and gaming together and were recently acquired by @animocabrands. They envision something similar to Pokemon but for music.

In this podcast episode, the market saw a strong day with the S&P 500 up 0.9%, but interest rates have sold and 2-year rates had a big move over the week. Traditional markets are being compared to FTX with crypto, as big headlines are followed by a lack of news and no crashing, suggesting that the rate of correction may outweigh the crisis. Meanwhile, crypto is holding and has rebounded from regulatory FUD, with XRP seeing another move up. Binance is receiving FUD over their connections to China, and Euro transfers of more than 1k may require KYC like traditional banking. Nakamigos is now sitting at .44 and was part of the end of the Satoshi drop. Blur has announced they are extending their rewards, which will be painful for Opensea as they've seen 50-60% market share. Beetle has announced big news, and Y00ts migration went smoothly yesterday. It remains to be seen which coin takes second place to ETH in trades between Solana and Polygon. Lastly, the UK has delayed its plans to get into NFTs, and a TikTok ban is still being discussed with an uncertain outcome.

n the TLDL thread for March 28, 2023, the podcast covered various topics. The crypto market has bounced back from its dip, and there is no major macro news to report until Payrolls. However, Binance has been sued by the CFTC for willful evasion by using VPNs to evade certain guidelines. Despite this, there is an oddly bullish hidden narrative since this is the commodities sector, and certain assets are loosely defined as such. CZ made a proper response, read the article to get the juicy details.

Prosecutors filed a lawsuit against SBF, accusing him of bribing Chinese officials. However, Mando points out that this practice is often above board in the US and might not have been prosecuted the same.

Otherdeeds announced positive news about Legends of Mara, a new 2D game linked to the deeds. The game allows players to extract resources, Kodas, and artifacts and is set to come out over the next few months. The game looks exciting, with features like vessels, lore and evolution, farming and land.

Legends of Mara is said to pick up where the second trip to the otherside leaves off. Kodas are the primary keepers of otherside and are said to be adept at farming, enchanting, and hunting. Currently, a Koda is basically 1:1 with Mutants.

The podcast also discussed Ticketmaster using NFTs for ticketing. While physical ticket stubs have been a highly collectible asset for years, digital tickets have taken over the industry, eliminating the need. With the blockchain, a new form of ticket collectibles is sure to emerge.

In this episode of GM from GM Web3, the hosts discussed various news and updates from the markets. They had Frank degods on as a guest to talk about their migrations, and gdr, their first STUBS artist, gave insights into their pieces. The hosts also talked about the quiet few days in the markets, with equities opening up unchanged and interest rates selling off. They discussed the upcoming Payrolls data point and how OSF is keeping an eye on bank stocks and the financial services industry.

Regarding crypto, BTC saw a dip entering the morning and is down in the 27k range, while ETH is hanging in the 1700s. $ARB has been the token to watch as it launched with an airdrop last week but is also feeling the retrace sitting at ~$1.2. The hosts noted that banking stocks had a mini bounce but nothing crazy. They also discussed Nvidia's opinion on Crypto, saying processing power should be focused on AI.

In NFT news, prices were relatively stable over the weekend, with Punks and APE's creeping up slightly. Gucci and Yugalabs announced a multi-year partnership, and Gucci grail 10ktf pieces rallied a bit. They also discussed whether it is bad if a luxury brand like Gucci takes a large part of ownership for a big brand like Yuga.

The hosts also talked about Binance being sued by CFTC, and the migration of polygon/y00ts and DeGods/Eth. They announced that Frank degods will have a spicy announcement later in the week, and talked about the Paper Hand Bridge Tax PHBT, which is set at 33.3% and puts a royalties hit on the Solana chain diehards.

Finally, they featured their first STUBS artist, gdr, who considers himself a bridge artist, bridging different types of art and digital/physical together. His STUBS piece started with a 5x6 painting of the ledger, and there are two different pieces available for the STUBS claim.

in this epidote, we discuss the latest developments in the financial and crypto markets, as well as exciting news in the gaming and NFT industries. Yesterday, equities had a strong start, but concerns about Deutsche Bank's financial stability have surfaced. Interest rates continue to be volatile and are pricing in a different tune from the FED's narrative, with speculations on an emergency cut being priced in.

Meanwhile, crypto is outperforming traditional markets, but if regional banks such as Deutsche Bank go down, it would require a cross-Europe decision to bail them out. Additionally, commercial real estate is the latest concern, and unrealized losses are continuing to surface globally. Banks that have supported startups and those with large commercial real estate portfolios will come up short and be exposed to the falling dominoes of this crisis.

In the NFT market, we've been dealing with "price bad" for a while, with top collections mostly down to around 20% on the 30-day. Mando thinks we should be prepared for things to worsen, and the musical chairs of liquidity continues.

Moving on to gaming news, Kansas has announced its casino, with a trailer revealing things like sports betting in the panda universe. Dan Houser backed "revolving games" is designing a game for the Creepz.

In other news, Yuga Otherside 2nd trip has been announced for tomorrow, the 25th, on a first come, first serve basis for users. Team captains were also announced, and all users will be assigned to a certain captain. There was also a teaser trailer.

Finally, the podcast was joined by Joker Club Spirit and Founder M. schulmann, the Delugue General of 'Group Partouche,' who owns casinos.

Welcome to today's podcast where we'll be discussing some of the latest news and updates from the financial and crypto world. We start off by noting that it's a beautiful day!

Yesterday's FOMC was one of the most important ever, and one key point that was omitted In all of the commentary was the fact that rates may be raised as the Fed sees fit, indicating that they may be close to the terminal rate. In the world of crypto, there was a slight sell-off but it has already retraced and is now basically unchanged.

Staked ETH is the next big unlock happening for crypto, and as the saying goes, "buy the rumor, sell the news." Meanwhile, the Arbitrum airdrop unlock went live today but the entire network went down shortly after, causing a lot of responses.We also discussed the NFT floor prices, which aren't looking good for those at the top. There have been reports of 10 apes sinking into bids, dropping the bid wall even lower.

On a positive note, the NFT now PASS is live today, and we had Co-Founder/CEO Matt Medved on stage to break it down. The pass is intended to reward holders with access to events, private chats with industry leaders, a reward system giving back to contributors, and more. For those interested, the source can be found at nowpass.xyz.

The crypto market has been experiencing major volatility in interest rates, with swings of up to 10% day to day. BTC touched 27k, a great sign, while ETH hit 1750. Alt coins are lagging and not performing, but they are following the two big coins. The team is unsure why crypto is rallying.

Things are not great on the NFT front, with Mutants and otherdeeds dropping. The team's fallen angels, including doodles, clones, moon birds, and cool cats, are not doing great, and this period is described as "the bleeding." However, the stage is hopeful about CloneX, and RTFKT Fud has been weak.

In this space, as a founder or creator, understanding community sentiment is crucial. There are both profit-focused and emotionally vested members in most of these communities. You vote with your wallet, and your conviction is represented by your 0x address.

The summoning from Yuga happened, with the new assets trading at 2.14 ETH. Farokh shared a stage with CryptoGarga in NFT PARIS, and was told the Dookey Dash game grew the Yuga ecosystem by 40%! There was a big power source sale for 45 ETH, but it's unknown what's inside.

Degods ordinals are kicking off, with the original frank asset sold for the equivalent of 50 ETH. There was some fud around the .44 BTC price, but the counterargument is the actual floor price of DeGodsNFT, which is around 6.5 ETH.Redbeardnft has decided to live forever and inscribed his soul onto the BTC blockchain. If you see him, you can now refer to him as inscription 492293. He is one with Satoshi!

The team was joined by The glimmering and J1mmy.eth, who is bringing the Bored Apes into their glimmering world. The on-chain game platform is launching on March 30th, with 43k custom artwork layers in the project with custom sound/animations. The mutant apes were seen as a perfect villain for the humans in "Ocelot," the world. Inspirations for the Glimmering lean heavily into Dungeons & Dragons. Ancestries, weapons, soundtracks, and detailed hairstyles are all included, and the team uses the 5e TTRPG rule set created by D&D.

0xPolygon was chosen for the Glimmering game, with all data stored on-chain, from dice rolls to hit points. The actual NFT will morph over time based on the data acquired from playing the game. Rug radio is bullish on Polygon and its carbon-neutral efforts.

This is another great example of IP being used in a positive way. Ape assets are brought into the game, which has been a goal for the entire space when it comes to gaming and IP. That's it for the latest news and updates from GM Web3.

On the equity market side, the day was a mixed bag with the S&P being down and the NASDAQ up slightly. The Credit Suisse bank got their bailout, which led to a rally in the stock market. However, some investors are concerned that Europe is the next in line for a financial crisis from the banking system. Interest rates were very volatile, and the curve has flattened with 10 years going lower and 2 years going higher, which is inverse to the normal trend. Oil prices are steadily creeping up, which is worth keeping an eye on, and the crypto market seems to be holding decent with some altcoins moving 5-10%.

On the NFT Twitter side, the community seemed rough as there was a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt about several projects, including Clone X in March, Doodle, and Poopie. Some investors are wary of PFP projects announcing new utility as they often end up poorly, despite any initial pump. Some investors are also concerned that Doodle's plan seems to cater to consumers instead of collectors, which can cause friction between the two groups.

On the positive side, some investors see the current environment as a proper cleansing, as FOMO over the last 24 months is finally bottoming out, which is lending a platform for true growth and building. There is also talk that applied AI is going to transform the world, and the intersection of the blockchain is critical for things like security and verification in prompts and deepfakes.

Voltura from Psychedelics Anonymous tweeted about potentially handing the project over to a DAO and letting them create a token, but he later deleted it and backpedaled, saying it was just an idea, a bad one. Chat GPT technology is enabling users to create whatever they want inside Oncyber, and there will be early access granted to select users to explore the new tech.

Lastly, there was a partnership announced with Sorare, and a free mint was dropped by Fairxyz in celebration of the last week partnered with Rug Radio. Mint your Farokh Lisa for free, absolutely no utility but there is merch!

On today's GM Web3 episode, we learned that traditional markets had a volatile day, with a huge rally in interest rates that is being closely watched. This is significant because continued rate hikes are now being priced in, and the Fed's policy will be under heavy scrutiny.

On the other hand, crypto seems to be doing relatively well despite the volatility in traditional markets. BTC is currently at $25k and ETH is in the $1640s, with both outperforming traditional markets. The banking crisis, which is a global issue that started in the US, is not exclusive to US systems. In Europe, smaller banks are likely to face challenges as the same situation emerges.

In the world of NFTs, volumes have been slipping this week, with most things down 10-20% on the 7-day chart. However, Azuki and pandas have been relatively solid throughout.

In tech news, Open AI has launched Chat GPT4, which can solve more complex problems and offer more in-depth responses and solutions. This includes examples like drawing a picture of a website layout and having it built for you, one-click lawsuits to sue robot callers, and verifying ETH smart contracts.We learned about new use cases for AI that go beyond what we might typically associate with the technology. These include raising kids and matchmaking, which raises questions about where the line should be drawn when it comes to AI usage. Overall, there is a lot of interesting news and updates in the tech and financial industries, and it will be exciting to see how these developments unfold in the coming weeks and months.

In the GM Web3 podcast episode on March 14, 2023, several interesting topics were discussed. First, the recent CPI and core inflation numbers were reported, and the market responded positively as they were in line with expectations and lower than last month. The FOMC meeting on the 21st was identified as the next big macro event.

Next, the podcast touched on the cryptocurrency market, which was up by about 10%, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both sitting at all-time highs and outperforming most alts. NFT marketplace volumes were lower than usual, with BLUR dominating the majority of trading volume.

The podcast also discussed the Cookie Monster and the rest of the Sesame Street gang hitting the blockchain, as well as a job posting by Pokemon for someone with a deep understanding of web3 and connections to investors. Instagram's decision to stop supporting NFTs was noted as a negative development from the stages perspective.

Finally, Rug Radio announced their partnership with Sorare, a fantasy sports platform that raised $600 million in funding. Rug Radio will have a new vertical focusing on sports, with Buster scher leading the charge. The Buster Show, which has been running for four years, has featured guests ranging from Tom Brady to marine biologists, but sports will always be a focus.

Welcome to today's podcast! Congrats on making it this far! Today, we talked about "The Fed, The Future & The Feature" with legoodsociety.

Over the weekend, we saw a sell-off in the crypto market, with Ethereum hitting new lows in the 1300s. The talk was all around SBV and what would be salvaged. However, news on Sunday revealed that deposits will become available, and the Fed has stepped in to help resolve things. Traditional bank stocks sold way down, and interest rates moved from 5% on Friday to 4% on Monday, a 100bps move, which is massive. SBV had a ton of government bonds in their "hold to end" and "maturity" portfolio, and massive losses were taken by the Fed increasing interest rates the way that they have, leading to collapse.

The Fed is in a tough position, and if they increase rates, then pain increases, and some sort of collapse seems imminent. Crypto has rallied hard with all the bank news, and we are up from the weekend lows. Stables didn't feel stable, and BTC & ETH are looking like the best stores of value. Markets are very volatile, and we could expect major swings while the banking crisis plays out. Our pros think this is a pivotal period in general policy, and the Fed will have to do a 180 on raising rates for the last 18 months.

As the saying goes, "The Fed keeps on raising rates until they break something," and well, something has broken. Suddenly, the Fed has to come in to protect all depositors that got caught in the move of rates, not necessarily doing anything wrong. Raises were an attempt to combat inflation, which could now continue to rise. Fractional banking does not look great, practically fraudulent, and this all makes crypto look great. Gold has seen a rise, and BTC/ETH are often called the Digital Gold. The end game looks crypto positive.

However, it's too early to call things one way or the other, and there is still a bearish scenario for crypto if we see some intense volatility. If the S&P drops 20 points, we could easily see a huge dip in crypto alongside it. So proceed with caution.

Over the weekend, tough times were seen for NFTs, with most collections down 5-10%. OSF's fallen angels category, Moonbirds, doodles, and CloneX are continuing to struggle, and the marketplace is around 24 million, which is still low. Considering the chaos in finance, things are looking decent overall.

Twelve Fold, the generative project from Yuga, was revealed over the weekend and has not been met with great reviews. The limitations for data storage on ordinals will always put a damper on visuals, and many are upset that they look similar, but that wasn't the value prop last week.

In Charleston, SC, we saw the grand opening of the Beeple studio event. He did a live everyday in front of the crowd, and printers attached from the ceiling literally airdropped pieces for people that were there live, with NFTs redeemable for a select few.

Le good society is an Environmental awareness initiative that uses art exhibits and web3 tech to get the message across. Plastic Free July is an example of one such effort, and all projects utilize the power of art to create conversations and bring awareness to the topics. The hedara network was chosen by le good society since they are carbon-neutral. Rug radio is going to be collaborating with le good society. Community members will have a chance to vote for what art is used and possibly have their own work.

In this podcast episode, the hosts discussed the recent crisis involving Silicon Valley Bank (SBV), which is responsible for funding over 40% of tech startups and invested in mortgage-backed securities. As a result, the macro economy is in shambles, and crypto has been crushed, with BTC and ETH down 10% and alts down around 20%. The hosts discussed the crisis and the potential implications for the banking sector and crypto.

The hosts also discussed recent data points and predictions of volatility and shifts in the market, as well as the strength of crypto in this situation. They highlighted the appeal of crypto as an option for investors who are considering pulling their money out of SBV and other banks.

Kevin Owocki discussed his work as founder of Gitcoin, which aims to fund public goods and support developers in creating software. He highlighted the importance of credible neutrality in fair funding and described the mechanisms for democratically funding public goods, including quadratic funding. He also discussed his new project, Supermodular xyz, which aims to cultivate a more regenerative digital frontier and make positive contributions to the world.

We ended on a positive note despite the grim climate, with a call to action to work together to create long-term positive outcomes and build a better world.

March 9th, 2023, the hosts discussed updates on NFTs and macro trends. They mentioned that jobless claims data caused some sell-off, but the Payrolls number coming up on Friday could have a larger impact. OSF predicted a shift as there was a large short base going into Friday. They also discussed how crypto is creeping lower, with most alts down from their recent highs.

The hosts talked about how airdrops and coins have been driving most of the NFT volume recently. Blur farming and Ape staking have been a major factor, but the price of coins dropping off has caused volumes to follow suit. They noted that the initial pumps are diminishing, painting a rough picture ahead.

The podcast hosts discussed the 'Gitcoin presents' Mint, which happened yesterday and took degens by storm under the title of a "Vitalik NFT." This caused massive speculation and a strong pump once it caught wind. The floor price is at 0.43, and there is a lot of talk continuing about it. They also mentioned it's the cover of a book co-authored by Vitalik Buterin himself.

The hosts discussed Silvergate making headlines again, announcing liquidation. It is unclear how or if they can repay back deposits, and there is no data revealed on the assets they actually possess. Their stock dropped 40%, but it was expected given the situation.

Blur degen activity has gone even crazier, with things like 15k available bids on 10k collections, all above the floor. Inverted markets across collections are a bad sign. The farming continues, but it is shrinking, so listeners were cautioned if they are trying to play this game.

OSF Rekt Cities 2 is dropping, and a snapshot was taken for full set holders who will be able to receive a free piece. If the price of ETH changes more than 5% up or down, the metadata changes to different themes accordingly. The hosts provided all the details, which can be found on Twitter.

Finally, the podcast hosts announced that OthersideMeta's second trip is announced to be on March 25th, which is the first involvement of "team captains." Users will be able to invite guests, and Otherdeeds is nearly a 2 ETH floor.

Today's GM Web3 discusses the current state of traditional markets, which are strong with equities seeing a rally. However, the market is predicting higher interest rates with the Fed going for another 3-4 increases. Meanwhile, the crypto market is shaky with decoupling.

In NFT news, the OWLs minted out Friday and have been a big move. The meta was ASCii, and Yuga Ordinals TwelveFold bidding has started. However, the 7-day chart is weak.

The podcast also reminds listeners to enjoy themselves in this web3 world, despite the challenges in top collection volumes. They suggest looking to some of the communities that are having fun, such as Memes, Checks, Rektguys, Rug Radio.

There is also discussion on the TwelveFold generative art initiative from Yuga Labs, which is auctioning live today. The podcast predicts that the auction close prices could be around 0.5 BTC.

Finally, the podcast ends with a discussion on the potential power of Ethereum in the future. OSF suggests that ETH could be like the internet and could see a 10x trade with some patience and conviction.

In this episode we begin with a discussion on macro views, where it's noted that ETH and Bitcoin have both decreased by around 5%, while alts have dropped 5-10%, indicating a further breakdown in correlation to macro.

Next, the episode covers Silvergate, a bank that leaned into Crypto and backed major exchanges like Binance and other big institutions. The bank reportedly lost $8bn through the FTX crisis, and the episode speculates that it will be investigated for money laundering.

The Mt. Gox settlement phase and the expected impact of the $2bn payout. Most NFTs are down about 2-3%, correlating positively to the price of Crypto, and Mutants and Azukis are noted as the top of volumes due to massive farming.

A special guest, Sam Ewen, head of Coindesk, joined to talk about the upcoming Consensus 2023 conference happening live in Austin, Texas. The conference is a major event shaping the direction of crypto and web3, and Coindesk's Microcosms NFT drop is happening live now.

Sam values the live event and the feelings surrounding in-person experiences and discusses the rewards involved in the Microcosms drop. The Microcosms focus on generative art, and there are collaborations with many major players to bring value. The episode concludes with a reminder to vote for prop house within the Rug DAO, emphasizing the need for participation in pushing towards decentralization.

In this episode of The GM Web3, the hosts Farokh and Mando cover a touch of macro and NFT updates. The macro picture is not looking great, with a push out in interest rates and a sell-off in equities and bonds. However, crypto is acting on its own will and speculation suggests it could outperform at this point. Big mints are happening, including MomoguroNFT, TheRVCollective, and an announcement from proof_xyz tomorrow. Illuviumio announced their card game is coming and $PRIME token from ParallelTCG launched yesterday. Overlord_xyz, a new gaming ecosystem with Creepz, is migrating their contract.

Raoul Pal with The Real Vision Collective talks about launching a platform that combines different communities to be more interconnected and benefit from each other. Leftover assets will be burned on Sunday, and collectors who collect all seasons, genesis and all rarities will be granted an elite "True Visionary" status. They also have collaborations with major communities and artists like Damien hhirst. Access to all token gated Real Vision content is granted through The Real Vision Collective Pass. Real Vision was created in 2014, aiming to democratize access to financial knowledge after living through the financial crisis. The goal is to educate and lift each other up, with a new platform launching in 2-3 months enabling people to live their financial lives. The episode ends with some Raoul rumors, including an upcoming appearance on @rektradio_ and a guest appearance by @farokh on Real Vision.

GM Web3 on March 1, we dove into macro, NFTs and more. The end of the month tends to mean the option market is loaded, and BTC is shy of 24k while ETH is at $1605, experiencing a dip. There is talk of Tik Tok getting banned in the US, which could mean a new US owner instead of the elimination of the platform. Marginal moves were seen across the top collections, with Apes settling at 70 eth, Pixlvault releasing new game mechanics, Creature world's Danny Cole doing an open edition, and MomoguroNFT mint incoming. Odyssey from Starbucks is set to go live on March 8th. @MetaMask announced the Unity asset store SDK, a huge move for mobile gaming. ParallelTCG released the long-anticipated Alpha version of the trading card game, and they also saw the $PRIME token released and start trading at a decent price. The question of whether market makers are bad for NFTs was discussed.

MoonieMooIO also joined the podcast to talk about the Herd, and how founder Keith is behind Bob the builder, Paw Patrol, and other successful children's television shows/IP. Moonie is an influencer, owns a luxury brand, has her own milk and is making major moooooves.

In the latest episode of Gm Web3 on Feb. 28, the hosts covered crypto and the NFT world. The episode began with a macro and NFT news update by OSF, who advised caution as crypto still has room for some downside compared to macro. Most coins were up at the start of the year, and despite the retracing, crypto is outperforming.

The NFT market is recovering from last week. We also touched on the gaming community, including Adam Weitsman's purchase of YugaLabs' Dookey Dash key for 1k eth from Mongraal. Yugalabs' Twelve Fold is their latest venture, an ordinal inscribed on Bitcoin with generative art consisting of 300 pieces.

Later in the episode, the Fair xyzzy team then discussed their mission to enable individuals to create their meta with all their available no-code tools and the creator-first mindset approach.

Finally, the hosts announced that listeners could collect stubs daily for listening to the show, and during the weekend, there would be a window to burn the stubs for a piece of art from the artist being highlighted that week. Additionally, Fair is hosting a massive drop featuring top women artists in the space to celebrate International Women's Day 2023 in March.

On this fine Thursday, GM Web3 reports live from Art Blocks X Ledger in Paris, featuring special guests and discussions on macro topics and NFTs. The recent FOMC minutes were brought up and how the community is in unison about slowly increasing rates. The crypto market has been shaky but has returned to similar levels, with $BLUR falling below $1. NFT collections are down around 2-3%, with speculations about $2 million being spent a day in Blur farming cycles.

The Bored Ape Sewer Pass "Toad Mode" went live and seems to be more difficult than the first version of the donkey dash.

Ledger has announced a browser extension that allows safe connections to Dapps and identifies scams, with plans to make it available on Safari and Chrome. John Karp, the founder/owner of NFT Factory Paris, discusses how he entered the NFT space, created a daily show, and developed a physical space to attract the masses. Ariel Wengroff highlights how Ledger has legitimized Paris as the hub for NFTs, embedding culture and art into a prime location.

This episode was really just a great vibe!

The first topic covered is the ongoing dispute between Blur and Opensea. The big subject today was two of the top BAYC holders, Mando and OSF, sold off their bored apes for over 6k ETH worth of assets, which didn't affect the floor's value due to the bidding war.

Meanwhile, the crypto market has seen a move down, in line with the macro market. Alt coins have seen a 10% drop, while the Chinese crypto market is booming. In other news, blur farming has made liquidity available for projects via bids. The traders still believe that the bored apes have room to run up to 100 Eth, even if ETH increases significantly.

Blur_io announced that loyalty will be rewarded for participants, and PacmanBlur doxxed yesterday and wrote a thread that dives into his past.

Opensea has ended its limited-time 0% market fees and has now moved to 0.5% fees. Finally, the continuation of the Bored Ape Sewer pass game with the Toad Mode activation is happening today.

Todays started by noting that markets were closed on Presidents' Day, but are back and down roughly 1.5% on both the S&P and Nasdaq. Interest rates are also selling off with 10-year yields at year-to-date highs, while crypto is lower and more volatile. The hosts caution listeners to be careful of volatile swings.

We discussed the crazy volumes happening in the market and the massive trades taking place at scale. Despite this, floors are trending down. They also note that whales may be the ones benefiting from the farming trading, and that there is plenty of liquidity for those who want to get out of something.The Blur Farming situation, which has created conflicting sentiment on the timeline. While some projects are seeing increased royalties being paid out as a result of the huge volumes, small projects and small bag holders are not benefiting.

The cancellation of the Proof of Conference received heavy backlash. Sponsors and sales data seem to be the tipping point, and refunds are said to be claimable for those who purchased. They also note that Friendsies has been declared an official rug, with their Twitter account being deleted. The hosts express disappointment that an established art brand with major connections would launch a project that turned out to be a rug.

Finally, the hosts welcome special guest OnChainMonkey and his team, who launched the first PFP collection on Ethereum that only required a single transaction for all of the assets. They also launched a 10k collection inscribed on Bitcoin, with Genesis and OCM Karma being the two entry points to the ecosystem. On chain monkey is stored on chain and ordinals on chain by design so it seems like a match made.

In this episode of Gm Web3, the hosts discussed various topics related to the crypto, NFTs & Macros. They started by announcing a new collaboration between Fair & Gm Web3, which aims to bring value and art to the mornings of listeners. Fair is looking to be a tech leader in the NFT creation and minting forefront, and is calling out to artists.

.

The hosts also talked about the current state of the cryptocurrency market, with traditional markets being closed for Presidents day and weak close on Friday. They discussed the strength of BTC and ETH, with many alt coins up north of 10%. The breakdown in correlation between crypto and traditional markets was also highlighted.

The SEC's recent action against Paxos, the creator of BSDC stablecoin, was discussed, which could have implications for stablecoins being classified as securities. This could have a massive effect on the DeFi system. The hosts also talked about the huge volumes going through different NFT projects, with old projects coming to the forefront and low-risk airdrop farming being the cause. The current state of the crypto market and the fact that the number of traders is not increasing is not great

The hosts also talked about the invite-only beta for @gemxyz and the rumors around the aggregator. They also discussed the recent 250 ETH sale of XCOPY, who vaulted a few pieces for himself. Finally, they congratulated Rug Radio on hitting 100k followers on Twitter and encouraged listeners to check out Rug Radio Official on Instagram.

Friday, February 17th! There were a ton of updates in the market and NFT space. One of the biggest volume days in NFTs in a while happened yesterday, with a $90 million day, the highest in the past 9 months. Low-quality high-volume trades are happening, and people are still farming. Blur did $63 million versus OpenSea doing $15 million, with whale accounts farming Blur rewards being the cause. @veefriends had an event/announcement involving a burn mechanic with 'burn island', and @PUMA is dropping a PFP collection. BendDAO token is pumping, with the amount being borrowed on the platform likely being directly related to the price of the token.

In other news, the new platform @escherxyz, focused on being a marketplace for editions and focused artist portfolios, is going live soon. Ordinals are up to over 123,000 inscriptions that have happened on the Bitcoin chain, and during the podcast, Farokh announces that there will be a huge event with him and @udiWertheimer involving the Taproot wizards and Rug Radio.

@rodarmor announced during the GM Web3 show that low-number inscribers will not be rugged and the numbers will remain the same, making blockchain history. @XCOPYART dropped two new 1/1 pieces and a third one during the show, while Rug Radio will be doing an event in collaboration with @yugalabs and @Improbableio at NFT Paris.

Today we discussed the performance of the traditional and cryptocurrency markets, with BTC nearing $25k and ETH touching $1700. They mention that alts are doing well and the tech analysis suggests that there is still room for growth. They also talk about the decrease in leverage in crypto and how this could lead to a healthier market.

We went through the NFT market and the high trading volume of Otherdeeds, Sewer passes, and Moonbirds. The Blur airdrop will sustain the effect and provide double rewards through March, but there may be more low-quality trading as a result. we then delved into Blur's new royalty structure, which could lead to the blocking of Opensea or denying the volume of Blur, putting the founders in a tough position.

The hosts share that GQ Magazine has partnered with Moonpay and artists to launch a new collection, "change is good," providing special access to events and physical items. They also talk about the upcoming NFT Paris event, where Pudgy Penguins and Rektguy will have events, and Rug Radio and Farokh will be present.

The hosts then briefly mention The Plague NFT's charity initiative on Polygon, which innovatively used frogs and announced that the Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta is set to go live on March 27, which is a significant development for scalability. The episode concludes with a summary of events that were discussed, providing a wealth of knowledge for cryptocurrency and NFT enthusiasts.
