gm,
The markets are down bad today but we have Billie Eilish driving a tractor in a new music video with Charli XCX so who cares!
Club happenings:
Some of the Boys are at FWB Fest rn with Optimism, talking about The Superchain. Friends like Stellar, IYK and LUKSO are also scheming onsite. If you’re hanging out in the woods this weekend, plz join our piercing party at the Uniswap Cafe at 1pm sharp tomorrow.
Listen to the Feelings Check In with Ted (Not Lasso) on starting your own thing, being an accidental influencer and experimenting with onchain content.
Bye!
The Boys

Eat Your Tokens. Let Blackbird cook. The hospitality company founded by Resy and Eater co-founder Ben Leventhal (friend of the pod) announced the launch of Blackbird pay, which is a glimmer of hope in consumer crypto. With blockchain-powered Blackbird pay, restaurants save on payment processing fees, and diners can pay with their reward tokens without having to wait for the check. Win for the restaurants, win for the consumers, plus a dining experience improvement? Bullish!
DMV’d. 42 million car titles in California are now on the blockchain, thanks to Avalanche. However, the block explorer is private so you can’t see evidence of it just yet, which sucks tbh. My honest read on this story is that I really, really want it to be true, but the crypto announcement hype cycle is so hollow and has left me so jaded. It’s (probably) a very good news moment for Avalanche, but I can’t help but question it. Please, comms leaders of crypto, forget pilots and partnerships — lead with results and impact.
yes..i have a girlfriend. she goes to another school

“Crypto’s Reverse Wage Gap.” Did you feel weird about the Pantera Capital report revealing that women in crypto ‘earn 15% more’ than their male colleagues? You are not alone! They’re redoing the survey, and you should participate so that the data feels more….robust.
Quick Hits. Bitcoin’s price is slipping this week, and the street is saying it’s because of Kamala’s rising poll numbers. Folks are walking back the Trump of it all as a result. This satire-rich ad for Solana’s upcoming conference is really good ngl. The weirdest thing about the story of Telegram’s CEO having over 100 biological children is not, in fact, the children — but it’s his Dothraki-coded promotional (?) photo? Someone read too much Game of Thrones fan fic. The Uniswap and Kid Super collab is super cute. Is Botox ruining your relationship? Finally, Lululemon pulls a line of leggings after customers complain of the dreaded ‘long butt.’
im sorry but every time i see a stupid comment on here the person has crypto or bitcoin in their bio
