This newsletter series is free for all readers.
What I like about reading newsletters and alpha aggregators is that you get to catch up on things that you do not have a pulse on in your day-to-day. One can only cover so much on their own, so it’s always great to look outside of your info bubble — I hope this newsletter does the same for you!
Note that you can click on the screenshots of each tweet in this newsletter to take you to the actual tweet.
We now have a Telegram Channel!
Feel free to join the channel if you prefer consuming a bite-sized version of the newsletter on Telegram.
Let’s dive in.

Shitcoin Szn in Full Force
In a week where the Fed raised rates by 0.25% to 5.5%, it’s still shitcoin season on Ethereum, with no sign of stopping. Take a look at this — 11/15 of the top tokens traded by 24H Volume are meme and TG Bot tokens. With majors still ranging, I think this carries on for some time until a major break in either direction.
Stay safe, ape responsibly, keep building.
