No conflict, no interest!

gm,

Sorry but we cooked this week. From a ’demure’ explainer to finding God, we covered it all.

Bye!

Everybody’s So Creative! Eigen Labs, the team behind restaking protocol Eigenlayer, was torched on the timeline this week for distributing their employee wallet addresses to ecosystem projects that were preparing token launches. Some are calling it incentive alignment, some are calling it bribery. Some say airdrop, some say kickback. Either way, I’m sure the SEC won’t mind!

Polymarket. We made our first Polymarket bet, and are poised to win $3 if Devin Strader wins S21 of the Bachelorette. Is this enough to cover the $13 we paid for a VPN to make the bet? Absolutely not! Was the thrill of the bet worth the price of entry? Absolutely yes!

Quick Hits.

• Vitalik sold 200 ETH worth of memecoins and donated the funds to charity. The feel good heart warmer we needed this week!

• Crypto4Harris happened this week. Appreciate the effort but it was pretty dry tbh. Not sure a “crypto reset” is what we all felt coming out of it. Please call us next time for a ~comms consultation.~

• Germany, Gox, Genesis, US Gov — aka the “4 Horsemen” — are driving crypto prices rn, read about it in Kelly Greer’s amazing thread.

• MSCHF bought a cow, and you get to decide if it lives or dies.
