You will find the coolest stories and biggest headlines here and easily digestible for you to enjoy with your morning coffee.

  • Pak’s new experimental NFT drop 'Merge' sold more than 266,000 tokens on Nifty Gateway, making them about $92 million. The tokens will be combined to form dynamic NFTs. Some believe it’s revolutionary; some think it’s being overblown. 👉 Read More

it’s not about copyright vs no copyright, it’s about making the pixels as censorship resistant as the token they’re attached to. if you don’t assign the token and the image the same rights, what’s the point of binding them together eternally on a blockchain?

When building DAOs/or anything decentralized, what matters more is the quality and sophistication of your active network participants as opposed to short term userbase and revenue. web2 = optimising for users and revenue web3 = optimising for long term value + a better service

Areas of web3 to pay attention to in 2022: - crypto cities - web3 college - web3 social - new wallets - community-owned games - tools for DAOs - tools for NFT collectors - tools for crypto-curious - social tokens as passes to IRL experiences - etc. This will be fun.

👹 Savage of the Week

This week crypto twitter has been talking about Creative Commons Licenses (CC0) and IP. Some CryptoPunks owners are frustrated with Larva Labs over a lack of communication, licensing guidance, and community engagement. Punk4156, who has been using their punk for a while now, broke the record and sold their namesake CryptoPunk for over $10.25 million worth of ETH. The question on my mind is, will Apes flip Punks?

Punk 4156 bought for 2,500 ETH ($10,261,925.05 USD) by 0x4c1194 from 0xf476cd.
