Crypto
Forays into blockchain, NFTs and POAPs live here. I write about minting POAP tokens at family events, celebrating Ethereum’s 10‑year anniversary by creating an NFT and even using monitoring services to keep my POAP feeds up and running.
- @artblocks_io has done 5,570E ($13M) in the last 24hrs, up 401%, primarily driven by @tylerxhobbs Fidenza project
- Two CryptoPunk zombies purchased for 700 & 850 ETH ($1.72M & $2.09M). The next available zombie is 1.23KE or $3.71M. There are only 88 zombies in total
- Gary Vee buys rare CryptoPunk Ape for 1,600 ETH ($3,764,576.17 USD), this triggers a CryptoPunk buying frenzy
- I picked up a badass a 1/1 XCOPY (🏆 grail for me)
- Alchemy: AWS for Blockchain?
- Offchain Labs: Layer 2 scaling solution for Eth, solid.
- Veem: Payment solution using crypto underneath. Like Venmo.
- Bakkt: Digital wallet solution.
- Bitso: Over 1 million users, 15% of all assets going to Mexico.
- Staked: Solution to build yield off of DeFi ecosystem.
- Are getting into NFTs as well, undisclosed investment.
- 37% of crypto market is non-Bitcoin and non-Ethereum, up from 16%.
- Why has gold not done better? Perhaps demand is being captured by BTC.
- BTC at 233% for 11 years and has no correlation to other asset classes.
- If 3.5M people hold BTC, price is $700,000… possible in 5-10 years?
- China Ban is positive signal?

We went to Canterbury Park to watch some horse racing today. We didn’t know it, but they also had Basset Hounds racing for fun which was a blast to watch.
Race 3 featured Bit Coiner. Bit Coiner won the race. An omen, HODL your Bitcoin!
After our visit to Saratoga Race Course I understood much more what was happening and how to read all the information.

Here are some fun NFT stats from the last few days:
I continue to see a lot of potential for NFTs, well beyond just the collectible space. However, it seems that the collectibles are a huge deal on their own.

Bought a little more Bitclout $CLOUT to play with creator coins and Bitclout NFTs shortly. Buy the dip? I’m jthingelstad there. It reminds me of what Twitter was like when it first launched.
