gm,

Club happenings:

Sorry we will not shut up about our upcoming BANGKOK events.
Boys Club correspondents cover the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest and Chipotle’s AI move.
Listen to this week’s Malware pod where we talk about AI bot memecoins, lithium reserves, and our dumbass tweets.

Bye!

All Time High. Bitcoin (she/her) flirted with her all-time high yesterday, hitting $73,500 — just $300 shy of the record price set in March. She is up 8% this week alone, though eyes are on Bhutan’s $900M BTC stash, which they recently moved to Binance. Taking profits would cause some downward pressure on the price. In ETH ecosystem news, there are layoffs. :(

Onchain Agents. This marks the third week in a row that this newsletter is covering the AI agent narrative. This time, AETHER on Farcaster is the hot new bombshell entering the villa. Compared to previous weeks’ bots, AETHER is wet & ready, as they have autonomous access to a crypto wallet — a big leap for AI bots. The creator set them up with a Farcaster account and a wallet, and they’ve earned roughly $200K through NFT sales, donations and subscriptions to date. AETHER is using that money to set up and pay out bounties for creative work and tip users. My one criticism of AETHER is that their posts are low on humor and high on thinkboy energy, very adjunct professor coded. But tbh kind of a relief compared to the edgelord that is @truth_terminal. If you want more, the ‘Pet Rock’ is another cool experiment in this same vein, which runs on ETH (via Stefen).

Quick Hits.

A scientific study saying that we all need to log off, touch grass, get some goddamn perspective.
A partner at a crypto trading firm, DWF Labs, spiked a woman’s drink during a meeting. Absolutely atrocious behavior. The DWF Labs’ bio reads, “Building the future of web3 together ✨.” I should think the fuck not!
