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...

OPINION — When I saw the team and the community I knew this project was something special.
We support each other on Twitter, make each other laugh in the Discord, and are lovestakingly building our beautiful shared future.
A bear market isn’t scary. We’ve got a sub-project featuring pictures of bears and people minted A LOT of them. We’re unstoppable.
WAGMI, bros.
And you know why? Because it’s never been about profits for us. So I lol’d and lmao’d when ETH’s value halved.
I meme’d and swarmed Twitter Spaces with silly character voices while the FED raised interest rates and started Quantitative Tapering.
I HODL’d and Diamond Hand’d when our founder was doxxed and turned out to be a twice-convicted white-collar criminal.
And sure, things have started to get a little tight financially. My wife is pregnant and we’re hoping to buy a house a little earlier than I expected. Plus, there was the ambulance trip to the emergency room last month.
But like we’ve been joking in the voice channel: “The real profits were the friends we’ve made along the way.”
It’s one of those things that’s funny and true and funny-because-it’s-true.
I guess what I’m saying is: Is it cool if I just get my initial investment back?
Turns out I could really use a cool $10k right now, but like, in USD and not in non-exclusionary IP rights to a picture of a colorful lil’ dude.
I’m a little under water right now, but if you all would buy my pieces of equity for a little over the floor price and throw in an extra $4k cash, we’d be all squared away.
And I’ll still be here to hang out and crack jokes.
Or not. Whichever option is cool by me – whatever will get us to a deal here.
I’m running out of time.
We were all supposed to HODL. What happened guys?
