- Black Friday sale on Bitcoin
Hi,
We donated $200,000 to charity. Don’t say crypto is all scammers and hacks.
Will you be in Miami for Art Basel? We’ll be doing an invite-only experience for creators with Base on December 3rd. Reply to this email if that’s you and you want in.
Then on December 4th, we’re diving into the future of finance and culture at Stellar House Miami. Join us poolside for brunch, and then hang for a full day of programming.
Love,
The Boys
