💬 Market Narratives
--------------------

Luca Netz, owner of the [Pudgy Penguins NFT](https://opensea.io/collection/pudgypenguins) ecosystem, proposes a value accrual funnel for NFT projects. It's great to see NFT founders game out these thoughts in public. For an industry originally founded on the principles of open source, trust and transparency, a lot of the NFT market can be quite opaque.

🐦 Top Tweet
------------

While this specific tweet is not from the last week, I thought it was important to give it some coverage here. Balaji is pushing the narrative that a banking crisis is in play which could lead the US dollar into hyperinflation within the next three months.

While I don't personally believe this, or think that he does, it's a big talking point and brings into focus the idea of Bitcoin as a failsafe should the fractional reserve banking system fully break.
