- The Tinder Swindler of Memecoins
Howdy,
I’m still recovering after a late night at the Hoedown. Thanks to our partners dYdX, Everest Ventures Group and everyone who came out!
We covered the $Jenner token launch on the podcast this week, then talked about feeling broke.
Bye!

"Crypto Gets Its Swagger Back.” Looks like the pearly gates of heaven have opened back up for the crypto industry. This was Washington’s oh shit week, when Dems realized crypto could actually impact this election. What a great opportunity to link to my favorite Veep clip. Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s campaign staff are scrambling to set up Rainbow wallets and bidding on POTUS.eth. Unrelated to crypto, this thread on a Trump rally in the Bronx is worth reading.
Memecoins. Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner and Davido were among the celebrities that launched Solana memecoins this week. I couldn’t help but wonder, who is footing the bill? However, some issues have been discovered, shocking absolutely no one. I’m pouring one out for the social token startups, class of 2021 — you would’ve loved to see this day. Folks are simping for Taylor to Sydney Sweeney coins — wake me up when Demi Lovato drops $MONARCH. Remember, friends don’t let friends become a celebrity’s exit liquidity.
Quick Hits. A Florida man can’t insure his Cybertruck. Buzzfeed (Vivek Ramaswamy’s Version.) Poppi gets handslapped for misleading ‘gut health’ marketing. Dear reader, are you solutions-oriented or are you in the feelings stage about it? Boomer art floods Facebook.

The Cut should do a piece on what it’s actually like to date a man in finance who has a trust fund, is 6’5 and has blue eyes

i’ll never in a million years remember who said it, but some time ago one of you shared a proverb (i guess) that i will remember until my dying day: “lana del rey in the morning, boyfriend take warning. lana del rey at night, boyfriend’s delight”
