$SPX Spotlight
As $BTC hits all-time highs and $ADA now identifies as a BTC L2 solution, the crypto market is abuzz with activity. Among the noise, meme coins are emerging as a significant force, capturing the attention of both new and seasoned investors. In this fast moving industry, let's dive into one of the most powerful communities in this cycle, spotlighted in Murad Mahmudov's meme coin supercycle thesis; SPX6900.Murad's List 🌈Murad Mahmudov has been a prominent figure in the crypto sp...

Greetings, fellow investors, speculators, gamblers, degens, and builders. I'm back and diving deep into the burgeoning BTC ecosystem. With the recent surge of scaling solutions, the space is experiencing a Cambrian explosion of projects. I've personally invested in the BOB ecosystem through their Spice points program. While I'm familiar with projects like Babylon and Botanix, I'm particularly intrigued by Babylon's expansion of their LST and LRT protocols to other BTC...

$VVV Spotlight
A common speculation in innovation today is the crossroads of crypto and AI. In December 2024, at the peak of recent market participation, many projects launched as little more than chatbots with a tokens sharing the same name. Yet, a few stood out with promise. Take AgentXBT ($AGXBT), for instance, which uses its token as a paywall to access its model—holding the token grants users access to prompt the AI. 🌁 Today, I want to highlight Venice.ai’s $VVV token, now enabled on Sideshift.ai.

Good afternoon,
Yesterday I went down a pixel art rabbit hole after creating a meme for the BOB Fusion Campaign. While reading the Wikipedia page on pixel art [Wikipedia], I discovered an open-source project called GrafX2 that I'm excited to explore further.
One challenge I faced in the beginning was figuring out how to create smooth lines since I couldn't find a trace button in the software. A core aspect of pixel art is keeping file sizes small. Here are some key things I learned:
In its most basic form, 1 pixel can represent just 2 colors (on/off).
Common canvas sizes are small, like 8x8 or 16x16 pixels.
A palette can have up to 256 colors (8 bits).
Indexed color mode (often used) is 512 bits.
The Game Boy screen resolution is 160 x 144 pixels.
The Game Boy uses a limited color palette of 4 shades of gray.
I also came across a concept in the pixel art community called the "8 Color Gentlemen's Club" that I'll have to research further.
For today's meme, I present my very first attempt at pixel art! Enjoy!
