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.

💯⚡️🧙♂️🪞45 - Back from Vacation
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.

Yesterday, I dug deeper into pixel art, and it was a blast!
First, I learned some cool trivia: Even though Gold and Silver launched the Game Boy Color, Nintendo limited Pokemon sprites to just four colors to showcase backwards compatibility with the original Game Boy. Talk about dedication!
Next, I tackled character sprite size. Since pixel art often goes hand-in-hand with indie games, I considered how dynamic environments and player interaction affect things. The screen size is a big factor, of course – unlike the limited 160 x 144 of the Game Boy and GBC, today's options are wide open! That will definitely influence the tile size for my game board and the height of my characters.
When it came to creating some assets, I experimented a bit. For example yesterday, I found sprite sheets for characters from published games. I tried using Pixilart or Photopea to select colors for edits, but that wasn't quite what I had in mind. So, I got creative! Using the magic wand and palette editing, I turned those Pokemon Crystal characters into something entirely new. The result Kris and Eusine from Pokemon Crystal with different hair colors. ( Amateur insight: Add white to pallet, otherwise the results will be a scary eyeless pngs.)
Speaking of creative techniques, I also learned about dithering, which is similar to hatching and cross-hatching in traditional art. Pixel Parmesan has a great explanation, and that led me to HD Index Painting, which we talked about yesterday.
To fuel my pixel art journey, I explored some fantastic online resources:
Pixilart: This one includes a built-in browser editor, super handy!
PixelJoint: While the UI might seem a bit dated, their community forums are really well-organized.
Pixelation: This community is vibrant and welcoming, just what I need!
There's also Dotpict, an app-based social media platform with a built-in pixel art editor for iOS and Android, and The Spriters Resource, which looks like a treasure trove for all things sprites.
And to the meme of the day!
No meme for today. Go out and enjoy your day!
