gm,

Club happenings:

• Get a primer on Real World Assets (RWAs) with Cassidy Daly, co-founder of Centrifuge.

Diva Down. It was a bad take bonanza yesterday when the M*tamask wallet was briefly pulled from the App Store due to an “operational error.” I’m not going to get all tin hat on this one specifically, but if you want to please the floor is yours. It is a solid reminder though that we are all just pawns in the vast web of big tech feudalism, subject to the whims of their operators. In other news, the NY Times published a fear-mongering story about Chinese-owned Bitcoin mines in the US, which Nic Carter summed up as: “Hey these mines are owned by Chinese companies and we've decided that's scary!” If you want to ruin your Sunday, read the comments on that article.

SBF’s (Second) Bad Bad Week. If you want a primer on the latest SBF courtroom happenings, you might as well listen to our 10ish minute daily briefings. Our dogged courtroom reporter is trekking to 500 Pearl Street each day so that you can get the best details from the trial. The TLDR? SBF’s case is down bad tremendously after former Alameda Research CEO, Caroline Ellison, let it rip in the courtroom this week. Bribes, falsified documents and layers upon layers of lies—she laid it all out on the table.

Into the wild. How about some nice news for a minute? Experiential art platform Wild.xyz hosted a summit in New Orleans this week and your favorite Boys Club culture correspondent Blake Finucane was in attendance. Lady Phoenix, Serwah, Mitchell Chan and AI artist Holly Herndon, showed up to give talks on topics ranging from the spatial internet to imposter syndrome. The takeaway? The intersection of art and emerging technology is not dead. It is, in fact, on fire. Blake also filmed a special episode of Context with Nancy Baker Cahill and Figure 31 - coming 🔜.
