Your mom replied, “I don’t know what any of that means, but it’s really nice how you do that computer money stuff.” Early attempts to explain your vocation to your mother go back to early 2021 when you were ...

Twitter Rebrands to “X” Commemorating Drop to 10th Best Social Media Platform
SAN FRANCISCO — In a celebratory move, Twitter CEO Elon Musk changed the name of the platform to “X” commemorating its spot on a list of social media platforms. According to HootSuite, it now ranks 10th behind powerhouses such as Truth Social and Holla. Before the new list was announced Musk was planning to rebrand his social media company as “X AE, v. non-child.” Employees breathed a sigh of relief. “Pretty sure we would have immediately lost all of our users if he named us that,” said Chief...

Vitalik Suspected of Extraterrestrial Origins
EARTH — Conspiracy theorists have taken to Reddit this week in a wild and unfounded notion that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin is from a recently discovered planet located between Venus and Mercury. Redditors are calling the planet “Cryptomar.” The contention that the blockchain guru is from another planetary body is loosely based on conjecture that he “looks like an alien” and the fact that he put Earth as his location in his twitter bio.Vitalik lists twitter location as "Earth".Despite al...

HOBOKEN — Mere miles from NFTNYC, just across the Hudson, an inaugural "NFT" event of a different sort was minting success.
The vibe was electric and the high cut jeans were out in full force for the first annual Moms of Degens held April 13-14th, 2023 at the prestigious Hoboken Elk's Club.
Attendees were greeted by staff at the door with looks of solidarity and a stylish hand-knitted swag bag containing super-saver coupons, a t-shirt for the hubby, tissue, and a paper passport book to collect stamps, stickers and signatures from others as a kind of proof of attendance, among other goodies.
There were guest speakers, vendors, and chardonnay that seemingly never stopped flowing, as conversation and LFG lemon bars were enjoyed by all. Some of the most popular talks included "Wen Prius?" and "Signs Your Little Degen is NGMI".
"They had this handy little cheat sheet to help us with the terminology. It turns out I am raising a soy boy, but it's probably nothing. Did I say that right? I am still, um, doing my own research," shared event goer Sandy Johnson.
Others shared their own heartwarming anecdotes. "My son would be locked in his room for hours chanting pump, pump, pump, pump. It was all very concerning. It still is, but at least now I have some context. Thanks MoDs!"
Karen Williams took full advantage of the event’s educational opportunities. "I would only ever see my daughter for the holidays. She wouldn't stop talking about her jpeg podcast and booking high-profile PFPs. I had no idea what any of that meant. Now, I do."
"I used to think OpenSea was some sort of underground drug market. Boy was I wrong about ‘sweeping the floor’!" exclaimed Bethany Lee, now proud mother of two Doodles.
On the last day after all of the bingo cards were turned in and the last cake was auctioned, we were able to catch up with the event organizer Anne Fogarty. "We really wanted to create a safe space to educate and talk about our children's degeneracy behind their backs. I think we minted a 1 of 1," she snorted.
A 1 of 1 indeed.
