Charlotte Day Wilson dropped a new EP yesterday, and it's beautiful! Was disappointed by her last album released 2 years ago, but this one is a no skip!!

Feels like we're speedrunning the bear market
"Ok yeah we know it's gonna back to the 200 weeks MA, just bring it there already so I can load up my bags"
Discovered the latest joint album between Fabio De Nascimento & E Ruscha V, freshly released on the prestigious "Music From memory" label, and it's a great piece of work, from start to finish! My personal highlight is the track "Rain"

I'm starting to think that what's most detrimental to the crypto space as a whole is the level of cynicism we're seeing in this industry. it's hard to generate enthusiasm in general public when the very people who should be the most optimistic about it show strong skepticism.
There's a very good reason for this by the way, I'm not saying this is surprising. For ppl evolving in this space for +5 years, we've been burnt too many times to display genuine optimism.
A year ago, I wrote the following about the past cycles:
"There is, however, an untold story across these onboarding phases that explains the difficulties we’re having now to onboard new users. A story of letting people down and eroding a trust capital that is getting closer & closer to becoming empty."
I'm worried we've reached that point now, and that even us, the industry actors, don't genuinely believe in it anymore.
Anyone has good recommendations for a designer that would work wonder for a brand with keywords such as, cyberpunk, hardware, concrete, vegetation, AI?
The grand tradification of things.
Nothing sticks outside of trading and gambling, so we're going to build platforms for traders where they can trade the tokens of other trading and gambling platforms, in a perfect infinite circle of 0-added-value-to-society-products. Amazing.
Fell in love with Kate NV's live album released last year, especially this 9min live performance of "Not Not Not". Amazing energy!

I think I finally understood something about this.
The Coinbase team ran with the assumption that "Donating Money + Potential financial benefit" is more powerful than just "Donating Money".
On the paper, it seems mathematically true, but it turns out to be completely wrong. When there's a potential for financial gain, there's an expectation that is created. Because this expectation has been consistently betrayed (most creator coins are underwater), and can actually only be betrayed given that there's no sustainable buying mechanism for each token, the result looks more like "Donating Money + Negative Feeling", which is actually less compelling than just "Donating Money".
The negative psychology that is attached to "investment" and "losing money" is powerful. When you feel like you got burnt once, you usually don't wanna get burnt twice, hence the difficulty for this meta to catch any steam.
Just wanted to highlight the work of Inperplex, a young talent doing video game OST inspired music. He does that really well on his project "Planet 9", and it's super chill. Picture this: you're playing Mario Kart on Wii, and it's a race by the sea:
