roses are red

gm,

Come to me like this or don’t come at all.

Club happenings:

• We did another Dumb B!tch Hour livestream today, and covered Sam/Elon, the Duolingo memecoin, Andreessen’s guy at the CFTC, the Slow Ventures creator fund, our wearables concept collection and Pete Davidson’s Reformation campaign. Call it range.

• ETHDenver friends, are you coming to our Tradwife Prom with Polygon and Space and Time? Are you coming to our brunch with Gudtrip. by Puffpaw? Should we invite Bella Hadid?

• NYC friends, are you coming to our fireside chat with Josh Miller, founder of The Browser Company and Terminal NYC? Tomorrow!

Bye!

$Jailstool. Life in the trenches comes at ya fast. Someone taught Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy to trade memecoins, and he’s gone full send on shitters, booking a series of big wins and big losses. After realizing the power he holds to manipulate the market as a “KOL,” Dave flew a little too close to the sun late last week. The pump and dumps inspired a fan to launch $Jailstool aka Stool Prisondente, and Dave is all in. $Jailstool’s listing on Kraken is certainly helping to pump his bags, though he’s claimed not to have made any money on it yet. Stars, They’re Just Like Us!

Sorry but ETH is sh*tting the bed. This week, ETH scored a rare own goal as FTX repayment plans went into effect. Following bankruptcy proceedings, FTX customers who held ETH on the doomed exchange can now claim refunds of their crypto holdings at November 2022 prices — when ETH was $2,500 compared to $2,700 today. A win? Ehhhh. I fear it will take more than a ‘Powered By Ethereum’ effort to stimulate things at this point. Starting a wake up ETH campaign, who’s in?
